Far lower than the pass rate of the previous years, this year's temporary replacement of the examiner team suddenly raised the difficulty of the initial assessment, only one of the twenty people qualified, and almost everyone who came out of the preliminary examination room was sent directly to the hospital after suffering a lot of injuries, which made many candidates with a lucky mentality collapse directly, and some people began to give up the assessment and turn away.

When the first person chose to give up, more and more people began to give up the exam, a large number of people in front of Tang Yao and behind left, and the examiners did not stop them, it was a voluntary principle to participate in the rank assessment, if you want to participate, you can participate, if you don't want to participate, you won't participate, and no one forced anyone.

Wait until half an hour later, there were still seven or eight people left in front of Tang Yao, and there were only a dozen or so people left behind him, at this time an old man with crutches came over with a group of people, his appearance immediately caused the discussion of everyone around, Tang Yao did not know this person, because he was the examiner who was temporarily replaced, but he heard the people around him whisper: "It turned out to be him, no wonder it is so difficult this year, this old guy was actually invited out by the illusion again, I think we are all hanging." ”

Tang Yao stepped forward and asked, "Dude, can I ask who this old man is?" ”

The person who was questioned by Tang Yao looked at Tang Yao in surprise, and actually asked in turn, "Don't you know?" ”

Tang Yao shook his head and said that he really didn't know this old man, this person said: "This old man's name is Huang Zhe, he is the high-level of the Huang clan of the soldiers, and he is also the examiner with the worst reputation of illusion, there are two reasons for his bad reputation, firstly, according to the statistics of the examiners of the past dynasties, his exam questions are the most difficult, and they are so difficult that the people who pass his assessment are also the least, and second, he likes to over-outline questions, that is, it is clear that his exam questions should be quasi-second to deal with, but he put it in the preliminary exam to let the candidates deal with it, In other words, if you don't have the strength of the second stage, you can't pass this exam, and many clans complain that his level of questions is not good, but he in turn says that these people themselves have no strength, and thirdly, he has made a lot of trouble in the exam questions, and it is dangerous to participate in the rank assessment of the illusion of learning, but at most, it is not in the way if he suffers a little flesh injury or breaks a few bones, but because the old man's exam questions are too difficult, he often makes candidates who are not prepared or have insufficient strength have accidents or even die in the exam, According to incomplete statistics, at least four people died in the examination room where he gave the exam questions. ”

Tang Yao frowned, he didn't expect to encounter such a thing as a super-outline, he was most annoyed by this kind of thing when he took the Zheng'er Bajing exam in school, why should there be a question of over-outline in a good paper, it is called exercise, but you can't exercise anything by relying on this question.

"Later, something happened, and there was a candidate who died in the examination room who was actually an inner disciple of the Shangguan family, and the Shangguan family immediately questioned why this happened to the illusion of learning, and it was nothing for the old man Huang to come out and admit his mistake at this time, after all, the old man Huang also has a certain identity in the circle, and the Shangguan family will not embarrass you too much, but the old man Huang did not admit his mistake and said in the circle that the Shangguan family is a golden jade and its external defeat is among them, saying that the Shangguan family only needs the old master to ensure that the tree falls down and scatters, can this kind of thing be said, Even if you have a certain status in the circle, but the old master of the Shangguan family is the first in the world after all, after the old man Huang did not choose to speak, the old master of the Shangguan family personally opened his mouth to ask Illusion Xuejian to give him a satisfactory answer, Illusion Xuejian also understood what this meant, so he turned him into a substitute examiner on the grounds that Old Man Huang was old, which is equivalent to never letting him out of the exam questions again, but I didn't expect that this time there was a situation where the question was missed, this time we were unlucky, when we met such an old monster, I think I am out of play, let's give up for a while. The man sighed pessimistically after saying this.

At this time, another group of candidates were carried out, and sure enough, none of the candidates could come out well, at this time Tang Yao's name was called, and the examiner took the list and asked loudly: "Is Tang Yao here, if he is not there, if he is not there, he will abstain." ”

Tang Yao hurriedly raised his hand and said, "I'm here, I still have to take the exam." ”

He stood up and was walking towards the examiner, when he was suddenly blocked by a cane, Old Man Huang stopped Tang Yao, Tang Yao asked strangely, "Senior Huang, is there something wrong?" ”

Old Man Huang glanced at him and said, "You are the newcomer in Ao Tianchong's small company, the magical junior who got the Qiyao Strange Stone." ”

Tang Yao didn't expect that he would be recognized by the other party, but he also generously admitted: "It's me, are you in trouble?" ”

Old man Huang smiled and said, "When Ao Tianchong's kid took the preliminary exam, I was also the chief examiner, but I didn't expect that the juniors he admired also fell into my hands, hehe...... If Ao Tianchong knew that I was the chief examiner this year, maybe he would arrange for you to go to other places to take the preliminary exam, I don't think he would know, so he let you fall into my hands. ”

Tang Yao vaguely heard that what the old man said didn't seem to be a good thing, and he seemed to have a contradiction with Ao Tianchong, Tang Yao asked, "Is it such a coincidence, you and Mr. Ao know each other." ”

Old man Huang put down his crutches and said quietly: "Go, go quickly, don't delay." ”

Tang Yao nodded and ran to the examination room, at this time, Old Man Huang slowly turned his head and glanced at him with a not very friendly gaze, at this time, a young examiner beside him bowed his head and said, "Master, do you need to arrange it?" ”

Old man Huang smiled and said, "Arrange it, just like Ao Tianchong did to me back then." ”

"Yes, we know what to do." After speaking, several young examiners immediately left quickly, and Old Man Huang looked at his lame foot, and the smile on his face gradually became gloomy.

At this moment, Ao Tianchong, who was working in the Hall of Dead Bones, suddenly received a phone call, and after listening to the narrative on the phone, he said with some surprise: "This year's examiner turned out to be Huang Zhe, now Tang Yao, this kid is afraid that something will happen, three years ago, I had a conflict with Huang Zhe, and when I was fighting for a secret treasure, I accidentally broke one of his legs, this old man was already very vindictive, this time I am afraid that he will take revenge on Tang Yao, you arrange some people to wait near the examination room immediately, if Tang Yao has an accident, call me immediately." ”

Tang Yao was taken by the examiner to one of the empty rooms, and then the examiner spoke: "In this room, a number of illusionists have performed illusions together, illusions will create a realistic illusion, everything you encounter after you enter is an illusion, but illusions will also cause damage to you, so what to do is you watch it yourself, tell me when you are ready after entering, I will close the door, once you can't support it, crush this bead, once the bead is crushed The illusion will dissipate immediately, and we will come to the rescue immediately, But at the same time, it also means that you failed the assessment, do you understand? ”

Tang Yao nodded, and then walked into the room, the room was smaller than expected and there was nothing, Tang Yao checked the equipment and put the bead in his pocket and said, "I'm ready, please close the door." ”

The examiner nodded and took a step back and then slowly closed the door, the faint light outside the door gradually disappeared, with the closing of the door, Tang Yao was gradually shrouded in darkness, he took a deep breath and watched the last ray of light on the door disappear, at the moment when the complete darkness illuminated him, the illusion was activated, and a huge illusion shrouded Tang Yao's body, Tang Yao suddenly lit up a candle not far in front of him, he saw the candle flame getting closer and closer, and then heard the sound of nervous breathing, Tang Yao immediately became nervous and shouted: "Who is there?" ”

Then he heard a woman's voice shouting at him, "Master, is that you, Master, are you there?" ”

Tang Yao frowned and asked, "Who are you?" ”

The candle flame floated close and reflected a skinny woman at the same time, the flame illuminated the woman's gloomy face, and Tang Yao's heart jumped in shock, but the woman immediately said: "My surname is Zhou, that is, I hired the mage you to come here, I am being chased by ghosts, it has been following me, you want to protect me, I am afraid, I haven't closed my eyes for several days, I can feel that it is behind me, I am almost scared to death." ”
