Chapter 208: Heavenly Firmament
Prepare for 'Inhumans'?" Chu Ling looked puzzled, "But, my lord, why can't I remember, what happened in the illusion?"
Zhao Ting smiled and said, "After the test is over, the illusion will automatically erase your memory, this is also to ensure the fairness of the test, I believe that Captain Chu can understand." ”
"Oh. Chu Ling was stunned.
Song Yi on the side couldn't wait to ask: "My lord, my lord, is it my turn?"
Zhao Ting nodded, looked at him and said, "Well, General Song, please." ”
Song Yi took a deep breath and strode into the tent.
Looking at his back, Chu Ling was thoughtful and asked in a low voice, "According to Lord Zhao, can General Song pass the test of illusion?"
Zhao Ting shook his head slowly and said, "What everyone sees and experiences in the illusion is different, and I can't judge whether a person can pass the test. ”
"He has a good chance, though. ”
Hearing Zhao Ting's ambiguous answer, Chu Ling was a little speechless, and paused for a moment before saying, "Then, what arrangements will Lord Zhao make next for those who have passed the test?"
Zhao Ting said: "Transformation and actual combat, Your Majesty has its own arrangements for these things. ”
Chu Ling replied and didn't ask any more.
......
Half an hour later, the illusion vanished.
Song Yi walked out of the big tent, with the experience of Chu Ling, he was already prepared for his "amnesia", and he did not lose his color at the moment, but looked at Zhao Ting with a calm expression, and there was a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
Zhao Ting shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, General Song, you didn't pass the second test. ”
Song Yi's expression darkened when he heard this, but he didn't raise any objections, and just walked aside silently.
Chu Ling, who watched this scene, was also a little unbearable, so he walked over and patted him on the shoulder to show comfort.
"The third. ”
The third person to participate in the heart refining test was a partial general in the martial arts, who was born tall and big, with a dark complexion, and high bulging muscles all over his body, which was very majestic.
"General Song, Captain Chu. ”
After seeing the salute, the majestic general also walked into the big tent.
Towards a quarter of an hour, the illusion vanished, and the majestic side came out of the tent.
"Failure!" Zhao Ting pronounced his sentence indifferently, "Next!"
"Failure!"
"Failure!"
"Failure!"
......
"Congratulations, you have successfully passed the test," looking at the dark-skinned young sergeant in front of him, Zhao Ting asked kindly, "What's your name?"
The young sergeant stood up straight and replied loudly: "Lord Hui, the last general's surname is Lu Danziqing." ”
"Lu Qing, huh...... Good. Zhao Ting, who had been beside Chu Ling, said, "Stand beside Chu Duwei." ”
"No!"
"Go on, next!"
Five or six hours passed in a flash, and it wasn't until the sky gradually got dark that Zhao Ting put away the illusion.
In half a day, a total of seventy-two people in the martial guards participated in the test, and the people who passed the test, including Chu Ling, were only four, and there was not even a 10% chance.
This result made Chu Ling a little surprised, and asked cautiously: "My lord, is our test too difficult?"
Zhao Ting was silent for a moment and said, "No, it's just that I overestimated human nature. ”
His face was a little ugly, and he didn't want to explain too much to Chu Ling, so he waved his hand and said, "That's it, it's too late today, let's stop here and continue tomorrow." ”
"No. ”
After giving Chu Ling a word, Zhao Ting turned around and left, and soon disappeared into the night.
......
......
Splendid Palace.
Under the glazed palace tiles, Xiao Che was standing on the steps, holding his hands behind his back, looking up at the bright moon above his head.
On the side, the black-clothed old eunuch was standing on his side, without saying a word, looking at Xiao Che's cloudy old eyes full of warmth.
"Manager Wang," Xiao Che suddenly spoke, "Do you know that my human race has also had a time when I was holding the flying immortals to swim and hold the bright moon for a long time?"
The old eunuch in black pricked up his ears and said with a smile: "The minister is stupid and doesn't know. But since Your Majesty said that there is, then there must be. ”
Xiao Che looked back at him and scolded with a smile: "You, it's not like you who shoot the sycophants." ”
After a pause, he explained: "The ancient book "Tiancang Testament" says that when the human race was at its strongest, it was trampled under the feet of the gods and demons, and even drove them out of the sky, never to return. ”
"As the emperor of the Wu Dynasty, even if I can't compare to the ancient sages, I should strive to catch up and let the human race return to the top of the world! ”
The old eunuch in black asked at the right time: "Your Majesty, what does this sky mean?"
Xiao Che couldn't cry or laugh, knowing that he was playing the piano to the cow when he said so much, and explained: "Fool Cloud: The sky is round. But this statement is actually wrong, because ah, the sages have long realized that the world we live in is actually a spherical shape. ”
"They call this ball the celestial star. Glancing at the old eunuch in black, Xiao Che continued: "That's why I tell you to read more on weekdays! ”
The old eunuch in black: "......"
After a moment of silence, the old eunuch persevered and asked shamelessly: "Then, how do those great sages know that our world is spherical?"
Xiao Che thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps, they once flew out to see it." Flying out of this world, standing in the starry sky of the universe and watching, you can naturally see the essence of the world. ”
The old eunuch in black nodded, but thought to himself, "This is a baseless myth at all." If the ancients were really so strong, to the point that they crossed the starry sky in the flesh, then where did they go now? If it was really as the book said, how could such a powerful sage see the human race fall to this?"
After popularizing some knowledge with the old eunuch in black, Xiao Che also fell silent. Both of them stopped talking, thinking about their own thoughts.
Moment.
A voice suddenly sounded in Xiao Che's ears: "Your Majesty, Zhao has something to ask to see, I don't know if it's convenient?"
Xiao Che was speechless for a while, and his eyes rolled to the sky.
You've all transmitted the sound, can I be inconvenient?
So he glanced at the old eunuch in black and said, "You go down first." ”
The old eunuch in black understood, slowly retreated, and then disappeared.
Not long after he left, a white-robed figure appeared in front of Xiao Che's eyes, it was Zhao Ting.
"Your Majesty. Zhao Ting bowed to Xiao Che.
Xiao Che saw that his face seemed to be a little ugly, and couldn't help but smile and asked, "Seeing that Mr. Zhao is not in a good mood, is it because the illusion test is not going well?"
Zhao Ting replied in a sullen voice: "Yes." ”
"Oh?" Xiao Che was stunned, "but in the martial guard, someone is obstructing Mr. from acting?"
Zhao Ting was silent for a moment and said, "No, I just felt that I was a little too optimistic before." Under the contrast between imagination and reality, the mood is a little heavy. ”
Xiao Che thoughtfully, took two steps closer, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "The moonlight is quiet tonight, why don't you have two drinks in the palace?"
Zhao Ting raised his head and said, "Okay." ”
