Chapter 350 Fierce Competition
All the shadowless lights in the Chinese medicine clinic are on!
Inside the venue.
Silence.
The audience this time were very polite and didn't make any noise or yell. They still remembered that this was a competition of traditional Chinese medicine, not some concert or sports event.
The voice of Tang Chengde, honorary president of the Haicheng Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, came from the radio.
"Now, the selection rules for the first round of the preliminary selection of this acupuncture competition are announced. It is based on the recognition of acupoints. The "Inner Canon" states that there are 385 acupoints on the human body, but there are actually 150 recorded. Later, the "Bronze Man Acupoint Acupoint Acupoint Illustrated Classic" recorded 354 acupoints. The current standard is based on the "Acupoint Acupoint Jia Yi Jing" written by Huangfu Mi, the founder of acupuncture, and has established 351 international standard acupoints."
"Each group will take turns to compete, each limited to half an hour. The corresponding examiner will randomly assign a path to practice until the correct answer is correct. Half of the contestants in each group will be eliminated based on their scores. For time reasons, all five groups will compete simultaneously."
A very basic test method, 351xue is equivalent to 351 points. There are many bronze men in the Chinese medicine clinic for the examiners and candidates to identify.
However, due to nervousness, many contestants may make mistakes in their speech, or their minds may go blank and they may hesitate and say the wrong thing. Half an hour is enough to eliminate half of the people.
It won't take half an hour at all.
After watching the first group, Qiao Xi found that ten minutes was enough, enough for the better people to stand out.
The atmosphere in the audience was relaxed, but the contestants were very nervous, especially the first-time participants.
The Chinese Medicine Ceremony is held once every ten years!
If you miss this opportunity, the next one will be ten years later!
There are only a few decades in life.
What they want more is to become famous when they are young, like Lu Yingxue.
"What's going on?"
Han Jia sat aside, frowning. "The level of the contestants this time is not very good! They can't even recognize the academic degree, how can they claim to be Chinese medicine practitioners?"
His words were full of disdain.
Qiao Xi was sitting not far from him and said coldly, "Are you so mean to everyone? Weren't you nervous about your first competition? Didn't you admit your position incorrectly?"
"you……"
Han Jia choked.
When he first participated in the competition, he was selected in the preliminary round with 152 school places. At that time, he was really nervous and said the wrong school place. He regretted it for a long time after the competition.
He had kept this matter in mind for a long time, and when Qiao Xi suddenly touched his sore spot, he couldn't refute it.
Han Jia was so angry that he said, "Let me see how many you can recognize!"
"Then you just watch."
Qiao Xi said very calmly.
She already has enough hatred value, so this one more is not enough.
Han Jia had ill intentions towards her from the beginning.
He sneered, "If you get more points than me in the first round, I'll apologize for my rude words to you earlier."
Qiao Xi tilted her head and asked, "You also know that's rude? I thought you didn't know what politeness was."
"You...are really sharp-tongued!"
Qiao Xi felt it was novel. The word "sharp-tongued" might one day be able to describe her.
"Han Jia, remember what you just said."
She is not a soft persimmon that can be bullied by others.
…
The time turned to twelve o'clock.
The last five groups of contestants took the stage. Qiao Xi stood up and looked towards the audience. A man in a suit and tie was very conspicuous. He had a faint smile on his face, and Qiao Xi smiled back.
Sun Shao and others also forced themselves to stay alert, because it was finally their turn!
Who the hell put Qiao Xi so far down in the competition order?
When Qiao Xi withdrew her gaze, her peripheral vision swept across a corner.
A handsome and elusive young man sat there, with his assistant Wan Jiang beside him, always waiting for his orders.
It’s Master Zhong!
The smile on Qiao Xi's face faded.
What is he here for?
Witness a bet?
Are you cheering for Xiang Mingzhu?
In short, she had complicated feelings towards Mr. Zhong and always felt that he was not a good person.
Seeing this, Wan Jiang whispered, "Mr. Zhong, it seems to me that Miss Qiao doesn't like you very much."
"Your mouth is just for talking?" Zhong Yi leaned back in his chair and said coldly.
Wan Jiang shut up immediately.
"Please, contestants, please stand according to your numbers and wait for the competition to begin."
Qiao Xi found the corresponding bronze figures and discovered that Shen Xuanzhi from Group 49 was standing in the row in front of her. To her left was Li Songwen, to her right was Xiang Mingzhu, and to Xiang Mingzhu's other side was Han Jia.
She is surrounded by enemy forces!
Qiao Xi looked up. The examiner before her was unfamiliar. He looked serious, about sixty or seventy years old. If Yan Shi'an were beside her, he would have reminded her that this was his master.
Qiao Xi couldn't figure out his background and didn't know if he would deliberately make things difficult for her.
Some examiners have strange tempers and will put the difficult questions at the beginning to deliberately embarrass the contestants. Some are good-tempered and start from easy to difficult, which makes it easier to get more points.
As a bell rang, Qiao Xi's distracting thoughts were cleared, and the only thing in her mind was the familiar bronze man.
The examiner held a small stick in his hand and pointed at the points on the bronze man.
Qiao Xi looked at him and started to speak.
"Feng City."
"Hegu!"
"Shao Shang, Shao Chong, Guan Chong..."
"Behind the elbow, Shaohai, Quchize, Quchi, and Xiaohai are all..."
Qiao Xi's voice mingled with the crowd's clamor. For each pair, the serious examiner would press the integrator. The large screen suspended above the Chinese medicine clinic displayed only the top 100 contestants.
Her name slowly appeared at the end.
Go forward.
Leap forward quickly!
Li Songwen and Han Jia were in front of her, both of them were moving very fast.
Qiao Xi held on tightly, her rhythm and frequency not changing at all, while Han Jia and Li Songwen slowed down.
Gradually, he was surpassed by Qiao Xi.
She climbed to 9th place in the first round of the primary election, gradually became 4th, and then 2nd!
Her name before is Xiang Mingzhu!
As time passed, sweat formed on the foreheads of many people. The noise inside the clinic gradually faded, until only two unyielding female voices remained, still persevering.
It’s Xiang Mingzhu and Qiao Xi!
The rankings of the two people jumped back and forth!
"Yang Bai, Yu Yao..."
"Dicang, Chengqi..."
The two examiners tacitly put the facial examination at the end.
Xiang Mingzhu clenched her fists tightly, feeling annoyed at the fact that Qiao Xi was still haunting her and why she hadn't made any mistakes yet!
There is only one minute left in the thirty-minute countdown!
She had to speed up to get rid of her.
"Water ditch, rising stars, and gathering bamboo."
She recited a series of xue, while Qiao Xi was neither hurried nor slow, and seemed not to be burdened by time at all.
bite.
The examiner pointed to her cheek and said to Mingzhu nervously, "Cheek... No, straighten it."
She gritted her teeth, clenched her fist and hit herself hard!
How could she have slipped the tongue and said cheeche instead of qianzheng!
The examiner said in a deep voice: "You must calm your mind to be stable."
Xiang Mingzhu replied unconvincedly, "Yes."
Her points on the screen stopped jumping, and her eyes were staring at Qiao Xi fiercely!
The whole audience was silent.
Only a clear, soft and firm voice sounded, maintaining a unique rhythm and charm.
"Shang Yingxiang, Meichong, Jingming..."
She stood in front of a bronze figure of the same proportions, her pretty face delicate and serious, her almond-shaped eyes focused.
It’s like entering a deserted place!
