Chapter 267: Dancing Fragrance and Butterflies
The next day, after Shen Tiandong's poetry class, the seven protons gathered in the training ground in the afternoon, and everyone practiced the riding and archery course under the guidance of Shang Zhuoshang, and began a new round of physical tests for Gongliang and Mu Xingchen.
This time it was no longer a test of Gongliang and Mu Xingchen's tolerance and balance, but the assessment of physical agility began. One of the major success factors for people who practice martial arts is the world's martial arts, which are only fast and unbreakable. The sensitivity and reflexes of a person who practices martial arts are a criterion for judging whether the person is suitable for martial arts.
What everyone didn't expect was that the auxiliary props that Shang Zhuo used to assess Gongliang Zhu'er and Mu Xingchen turned out to be all kinds of colorful live butterflies.
Shang Zhuo took Gongliang and Mu Xingchen to a confined environment, and on the stone table beside Shang Zhuo was a large transparent jar containing a hundred fluttering butterflies.
Shang Zhuo picked up the jar containing live butterflies with one hand, and said to Gongliang and Mu Xingchen: "What I want to test you today is your reflexes and physical sensitivity. ”
Shang Zhuo said, pointing to the butterfly in the altar and said, "The task of the two of you today's assessment is to do your best to catch butterflies with your bare hands. Due to your martial arts skills, I will temporarily lower the standard for catching butterflies to at least 10 butterflies per person. Do not use any weapons or hidden weapons in the process of catching butterflies. I will give you a stick of incense, and those who successfully catch ten or more live butterflies in one stick of incense will be eligible to participate in tomorrow's final assessment. Those who fail to achieve the assessment target within the specified time will be deemed to have withdrawn automatically. What you need to pay attention to, the number of butterflies you catch must be based on the number of live butterflies, if you catch the butterfly to death by mistake, it will not be counted in the number of assessment standards, you two can listen? ”
Qin Wuxian and the other five protons also had nothing to do after class, and the five people who were thinking about Gongliang and Mu Xingchen decided to stay together and stay in the secret room to watch the assessment of Gongliang and Mu Xingchen.
Among them, Lan Yi'an, Mo Zijin and Gao Di, who are proficient in martial arts, couldn't help frowning in the face of Shang Zhuoshang's assessment requirements.
Grabbing the live butterflies flying around with their bare hands, not to mention people like Gongliang and Mu Xingchen, who have no martial arts or have a weak foundation, even those who have really practiced martial arts for many years and have some skills are also discouraged by this. Mo Zijin and others had to admit that Shang Zhuoshang, who had always been extremely strict and demanding with his students, was ruthless this time, and intended to let Gongliang Jie'er retreat bravely.
The number of butterflies in the jar is only a hundred, but the secret room where Gongliang Jie'er and others are located is very spacious, and if you want to easily catch a sufficient number of butterflies in the big secret room within the specified time, you also need to ensure that the butterflies are intact, which is almost inevitable for Gongliang Jie'er to ascend to the sky.
But there is no turning back when the bow is opened, not to mention that Gongliang Jie'er, who has always been persistent, will not give up easily because of some difficulties, even if Gongliang Jie'er is not sure to pass this assessment, at least Gongliang Jie'er should make Shang Zhuo feel her determination to practice martial arts.
Shang Zhuo ordered someone to light incense, and at the same time opened the lid of the altar, and in an instant a hundred butterflies rushed out and danced in the secret room.
The second round of assessment has officially begun.
Mu Xingchen, who was about the same size as Gongliang'er, actively grabbed the butterflies that were flying in the sky. Mu Xingchen, who has a certain level of martial arts skills, has quick eyes and quick hands, and it is not a problem to catch butterflies. Mu Xingchen jumped lightly on tiptoe, and reached out to catch a blue butterfly. Mu Xingchen was ecstatic, and opened his palm to see that the butterfly in his palm was dying because of Mu Xingchen's excessive strength and its wings were broken.
Mu Xingchen was disappointed in his heart, let go of the butterfly in his hand, and reached out to grab the others, but it was the same result twice in a row. The butterfly that died in Mu Xingchen's hands could not be counted in the assessment. Even though Mu Xingchen's hand speed and reaction ability to catch the butterfly were good, he still couldn't grasp the strength in his hand for a while, and he used too much force.
When Mu Xingchen was in vain, Gongliang was not in a hurry to grab the butterfly. Gongliang Jie'er knew that although he was light, flexible and agile because he was learning to dance at a young age, Gongliang Jie'er didn't know martial arts at all, and directly grabbing the butterflies flying around with his bare hands was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, which was useless.
If you want to grab ten butterflies with your bare hands in a time with a stick of incense, without the help of any weapons, you can only outwit them, and you can't use brute force rashly. Otherwise, even with Mu Xingchen's hand speed, it is difficult to guarantee whether the butterfly caught by himself will live unscathed.
Lan Yi'an and the others watched anxiously from the sidelines, especially the Gongliang Er, who was standing in place thoughtfully. Lan Yi'an, Mo Zijin, and Yu Ling are all anxious about Gongliang. After all, time is passing little by little, and there is no progress in the matter of Gongliang catching butterflies. The butterfly cage around Gongliang's waist has been empty.
Qin Wuxian anxiously reminded: "What is the second son of Gongliang thinking? Delay any longer, it's almost time! ”
"Yes! The second son of Gongliang can't admit defeat so easily! Gaudi also said in a rough voice.
Gongliang was concentrating on the assessment, and he had no time to care about the voice beside him. After thinking about the countermeasures, he unhurriedly untied the passion sachet tied around his waist, opened the mouth of the sachet, and the fragrance of flowers in the sachet slowly spread, lingering around Gongliang Decoration, and the rich aroma instantly filled Gongliang's clothes.
Gongliang's move attracted the attention of Shang Zhuo, who was invigilating the exam.
Just as Gongliang Er'er thought, the butterflies flying around gradually attracted because of the fragrance emanating from the sachet in Gongliang'er's hand, and dozens of butterflies were densely gathered around Gongliang'er.
Lan Yi'an and the others, who were watching from the sidelines, all secretly applauded Gongliang'er's intelligence and cleverness.
When everyone was secretly applauding Gongliang'er, they heard Shang Zhuo say sharply: "Butterflies can only be counted if they are grabbed into the butterfly cage with their bare hands, and if you use the fragrance to attract butterflies around you, I will regard it as invalid!" ”
Shang Zhuo's harshness seems to be tailor-made for Gongliang'er, and every sentence seems to be targeted.
Gongliang Er, who understood Shang Zhuo's words, was still not in a hurry, and was not in a hurry to reach out and grab the butterflies that were flying around him, but closed the mouth of the sachet in his hand, and the whole person danced in the wind, the waist turned lightly, and the lotus flower moved, opening his arms like butterfly wings, dancing around the butterfly, only to see the butterflies around Gongliang Zhu'er as if they were full of spirituality, closely surrounding Gongliang'er's side, flying up and down with Gongliang'er's dancing posture, and the dancing Gongliang Jie'er was like a butterfly fairy, the king of flowers, The dance is smart, and the smile is like a flower.
Qin Wuxian and the others couldn't help but look straight at Gongliang'er's charming dancing posture. Qin Wuxian, who originally suspected that Gongliang Jie'er was his daughter, saw Gongliang Jie'er dancing in front of him, which deepened his previous guess. Gongliang'er's dancing posture is intoxicating, and even the most indifferent gaze will linger and attract attention.
Seeing that there is less than half of the time left before the end of the assessment. Mu Xingchen has gradually gotten better and successfully grabbed six butterflies. Although there are butterflies lingering around Gongliang'er, there is nothing in the butterfly cage on his waist.
