Chapter Twenty-Seven: To Drink or Not to Drink

Next Chapter

Wen Ran's steps were not big, but they were fast, and the candidates behind had to trot to keep up, and the sound of talking gradually disappeared. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info The road is very long, so everyone has been running for a long time, and some people are already faintly struggling, but they are still persevering, and many people are wondering if this will also be part of the trial.

Half an hour later, the crowd came to a separate valley, where they saw the first buildings since entering the valley. Wen Ran led them into one of them, which looked like a mortal academy, and there was nothing strange about it. But there were more tables, five or six hundred, most of which had a small bowl on it.

"Find a place to sit down at will, eat the things in the bowl within a stick of incense if you are willing, wait here if you don't want to eat, and my Ice Mirror disciple will send you out of the valley."

This assessment is a bit interesting, it's all about eating and drinking, if only it were so easy. Although everyone was puzzled, they didn't dare to ask at will.

"This teacher," a voice came from behind the crowd, "I don't know what to call it?" ”

The crowd was amazed at the man's courage, and when they saw him approaching, they all gave way to a passage.

"Who is this man?" Lin Yun noticed that there was some disdain in Qingshan's eyes, and asked in a low voice.

"The people of the Imperial City of Zhongzhou." Aoyama replied softly.

"Imperial City? And now there is an emperor? Lin Yun had never heard of it.

"It's just a larger family, occupying a few cities and passing down for several generations, so they claim to be royal ......"

Wen Ran glanced at the royal boy and replied calmly: "Wen Ran." ”

"Master Wen, may I ask, is this the second level?" Because the man walked calmly, everyone could see him, with long black hair tied with a blue ribbon, a white Confucian robe, embellished with gold spots, a long tassel of white silk tied around his waist, a piece of mutton fat and white jade hanging on it, his eyebrows were long into the sideburns, his eyes were slender and gentle, and he was handsome and compelling. The only fly in the ointment is that his lips are thinner, but while he is handsome, he gives people a cool feeling. He was followed by four, and he also looked extraordinary. It's just that his tone is very deferential, but there is always some pride between his eyebrows.

"It's not."

"Please also ask the master to clear your doubts."

Wen Ran said: "This is to prepare for the second level, the bowls on the table are all made of elixir, some to improve cultivation, some to enhance strength, some to strengthen the foundation, and some poisons." ”

"Poison?!" The candidates were stunned.

"Poison? I heard you right. ”

"What did he just say?"

"What, I thought this master was so serious, it turned out that he would be joking!"

"yes!"

"Aha......"

"Hahaha......"

Everyone laughed dryly, but soon, everyone fell silent, because Wen Ran didn't laugh.

"Most of the poisons are not too poisonous, and if you eat them, you may feel sore, or have diarrhea, or have a fever, and only a few may die."

"Dead?"

"No, it won't!"

"Really?"

"Guru? Are you telling the truth? Not kidding? ”

"Yes, Master, don't scare me, I'm cowardly."

"I'm never joking." Wen Ran waited for everyone to be quieter and spoke quietly.

Wen Ran turned around, walked straight to the front desk, pinched off a piece of incense, and then lit it.

"I'll tell you why, since you've wasted some time now, then you only have half a pillar of incense time."

The royal boy's face was instantly gloomy, and he felt the eyes of the people around him change, ridicule, resentment, and of course, Wen Ran's disregard. But for a moment, he regained a faint smile. The moment was so short that many people didn't even notice the change in his expression.

The candidates no longer hesitated, and walked quickly past the young man, each looking for a place to sit down.

All the candidates were silent, almost all of them had already sat down, and everyone had a bowl in front of them. To sit down is to sit down.

There was no wind in the house, the incense did not burn quickly, and many people stared at the wisp of green smoke, at a loss.

"Dare to ask the master, how many of these medicinal soups will die if you eat them?" Still a royal boy asked.

"I don't know." Wen Ran is very calm, but at this moment, in the eyes of many candidates, this calmness is annoying, because behind the calm, there is indifference to their life and death.

"Don't know?" It's not one person's voice. Because I am disgusted, I am angry.

"I don't know pharmacology, and these decoctions are prepared by other disciples. It's just that my junior disciple has a gentle temperament, so he shouldn't kill many people. ”

Mild? Make an elixir that will kill people after eating, where does it go with gentleness? Everyone was speechless, and there were a few Xuan Sheng who sat down before Wen Ran explained the rules, and most of them had already eaten some of them, and they continued to eat with sad faces. Having already drunk, they have no other choice. But at least they don't have to make a choice, and it's not necessarily unfortunate.

"Master, may I ask if the deadly poison is eaten and you will die immediately?" is still a royal boy.

"I don't know, the students who finished eating went to wait outside the door." After Wen Ran finished speaking, he sat down in front of the pillar of incense, and looked like he didn't talk about it.

And the royal boy's face was completely gloomy. If it was a poison that would die immediately, he could let the servants around him try it, but now, even he began to hesitate.

The time of a quarter of a pillar of incense passed quickly, but for these more than 300 teenagers, this was the most difficult quarter of a pillar of incense in their lives, and they lived like a year.

The reckless teenagers had already finished their share, but the good news was that there seemed to be nothing unusual and had already gone out. Although there were few people, their departure one after another also aroused the determination of some teenagers to fight.

"Bang dang!" At this moment, a bowl fell to the ground, and in the upper right corner of the house, a candidate fell on his back, because the room was terrible, so the sound was also loud and terrible. A candidate near him hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his fingers and cautiously probed his snort.

"Dead? …… He's dead! ”

The trembling voice, the trembling figure, and the boy who was limp on the ground like a puddle of mud all revealed a fact. Before, all the teenagers were wondering if there was really a poison in it, and whether it would just test everyone's courage. Even though it seemed that someone was dead now, their hearts were still full of doubts, could this be someone arranged by the Ice Mirror Sect, maybe this person was just faking his death. How could any of the surrounding students believe it, and they came forward to investigate, but in exchange for one pale face after another. There is no snort, no pulse, no heartbeat, and the dead cannot die again. The boy panicked, and there was a commotion in the whole house. Soon, there was absolute silence again. It was as if there was an invisible demon in the room, grabbing the throats of all the teenagers, and it was terrifyingly quiet......
