Ordinary people generally have a lifespan of only 80 to 150 years, and very few of them can live to be a hundred years old. After a warrior enters the Youya Realm, his lifespan will be extended accordingly. , there are very few who can even live to be around 200 years old. Of course, like Xuanzhi Tianzu, who forcibly lived to more than [-] years old, it can be said to be an exceptional number.

The Duke of Beitian is over 140 years old, and the Sword Master of Beitian is also over 130 years old. It can be said that the two elders are really dying, and no one will be surprised to die at any time.

People can die, but sects cannot be destroyed. The Duke of Beitian and the Sword Saint of Beitian have always been unable to let go of one thing, which is the choice of the next suzerain of the Beitian Sword Sect. Originally, the best candidate was Yao Qiyuan, but it is a pity that Yao Qiyuan Died because of the music of the four souls.

After Yao Qiyuan's death, Yu Xiaosheng gradually grew into a top expert, fully capable of being the leader of the sect. Unfortunately, Yu Xiaosheng has a loose temper, likes to travel around the world, without restraint. Although he is strong, he is not the best choice for the sect master.

The two elders are half in the coffin, and what they worry about day and night is the choice of the suzerain. Although there are many outstanding disciples in the Beitian Sword Sect, they are not enough to support the entire Beitian Sword Sect. Big one behemoth.

Therefore, after discussing with Yao Xiang, the two elders decided to take advantage of Yao Xiang's marriage selection to recruit a son-in-law who has both ability and political integrity, and join the Beitian Sword Sect. Pass the test and become the person they expected, but if Yao Xiang thinks something wrong, the two elders have no choice but to sacrifice Yao Xiang's love.The life and death of millions of disciples of Beitian Sword Sect is the most important.

Xiao Lanyu has seven orifices in her heart, and she guessed the thoughts of the two elders in one go. The hundreds of thousands of young talents present at the meeting, and even the millions of disciples of the Beitian Sword Sect, did not fully guess the true intentions of the two elders. I thought it was just for marriage and son-in-law.

After listening to Xiao Lanyu's analysis, Shi Sheng felt very reasonable, nodded, and said, "Then these three tests must be difficult for one. The first test is already difficult. I don't know what about the next two tests. ?”

Xiao Lanyu glanced at Shi Sheng and said, "Ah Sheng, do you really think that the first test is done just by writing a word?" [

Shi Sheng was taken aback.Said: "Isn't it? Didn't the host say that as long as you finish writing this word within a stick of incense, will you pass the test?"

Xiao Lanyu shook her head slightly, and said: "It's not that simple. What's the name of the first test? 'The pen reveals the strength of character, and the words can see the hearts of the people'. The real purpose of the first test is to test the strength of the participants. Test the hearts of the attendees."

Speaking of this, Xiao Lanyu sighed softly, and said: "The two elders of Beitian must have put a lot of thought into these three tests, and they are really well-intentioned." After a pause, he continued: "This first test, In fact, it is divided into two parts, internal and external. The external test is the writing test that everyone knows. It tests the will and understanding. Words are also traps."

"Everyone is focused on the external test, and they didn't realize that they fell into the trap of the word 'heart', so they ignored the existence of the internal test, which is both strength of character and people's hearts." Xiao Lanyu said the strange characters written by Shi Sheng, Put it together with the strange characters I wrote, and said: "Look, Ah Sheng, although the two of us wrote the same character, only the strokes are the same, and the shape, strength, structure, etc. of the characters are almost completely different."

Shi Sheng said: "This is very normal. People's handwriting is inherently different." Xiao Lanyu said: "In calligraphy, there has always been a saying called 'Knowing people's brows is not as good as knowing people's pen and ink', that is, It is said that the characters written by a person can reflect a person's character to a large extent. For example, the characters written by a person with a strong personality are mostly strong and upright, while the characters written by a person with a weak character are mostly Most likely it is more buoyant.”

Shi Sheng doubted: "Why don't you just write a word? How can it be so mysterious? What about copying and tracing red?" Xiao Lanyu smiled slightly, and said: "Can copying and tracing red be exactly the same? People have people's hearts, and words have their souls. Only when calligraphy has reached a high level, can one understand what the soul of a character is. As far as I know, Beitian Guogong is a generation of calligraphers. , this is written with 'heart'."

Shi Sheng was puzzled and asked: "Write with 'heart'?" Xiao Lanyu nodded and said: "That's right, when we wrote the word 'heart', we were deeply immersed in memories, and when we woke up, it was half burned Stick incense."

"A Sheng, have you noticed? When we woke up and turned around, the ink was still wet at the end of the last stroke of the character '心', which means that it took us half a stick of incense to write the character '心', that is, Half an hour!"

Shi Sheng's heart trembled, as Xiao Lanyu said, when he came back to his senses, he did see that the ink was slightly wet. He thought it was wet from tears at first, but he didn't expect it to be because the ink was not dry in the first place.

Xiao Lanyu continued: "It took us half an hour to write the simple word 'heart', because the force comes from the heart, we are writing this word with our hearts, every bit of joy, anger, sorrow and joy in our hearts , are all engraved in this painting. When we write this word, the pauses and tremors, one fast and one slow, one light and one heavy, all contain our emotions and truly reflect our hearts, so the important thing is not the word, It is the process of writing this word, just like what we have experienced, the important thing is not the result, but the process."

Speaking of this, Xiao Lanyu sighed softly, and said: "The character shape and pen strength are impressive, and the history of each word is enough to show people's hearts. "

Shi Sheng understood completely now, looked at the strange characters on the paper, and said, "I finally know why you are so sure that Beitian Sword Sect must want to choose the next suzerain."

Xiao Lanyu smiled slightly, and said: "From my guess, the external test of the word '口' is the real first test, and the internal test of the word '心' should actually be the third test."

Shi Sheng was startled, and said: "How do you say that?" Xiao Lanyu said: "The first test, as long as we can write this character, we will pass the test. This is just the content of the '口' character test. "Words, so, I guess the Beitian Sword Master and Beitian Guogong should browse through the strange characters we wrote, identify the character and heart, and then make a selection. After all, the matter is of great importance, and the two elders of Beitian must not allow any mistakes."
