"Thirty-five...... No, no, no, thirty-six...... Thirty...... The disciple doesn't know! The disciple was nervous and didn't know how much to say, so he had to change his story and say that he didn't know.

"Hmph, I can't even do this little thing! You say, if you say it right, you will pass the test! ”

The old man snorted coldly, ignoring the previous disciple and pointing at the other person.

The disciple who was pointed out was taken aback, but he still held his breath and began to count.

"Thirty-five!"

After counting it, the disciple who was pointed out had a number in his heart, which was thirty-five as Wu Dao said, but for the sake of safety, he did not rush to report the number, but counted it again.

"Still thirty-five!"

After counting it again, the disciple still counted thirty-five, and he already had the answer in his heart.

"Did you count clearly? I can't count the number of people! The old man guarding the sword on the stage asked impatiently when he saw that this disciple was unwilling to report the number for a long time.

"Right now, Elder Sword Guard, wait a minute!"

This disciple counted it again, and it was confirmed that it was thirty-five, but when he saw the face of the old man guarding the sword, he said thirty-five at this time, and he must be looking for death.

"Thirty-five? Thirty-six? ”

This disciple is going crazy, he must have counted thirty-five, but the old man guarding the sword counted thirty-six, and he doubted himself very much.

"How many are there?"

The old man who guarded the sword asked impatiently.

"Thirty ...... Thirty...... Thirty-five! ”

The disciple struggled for a long time, and finally said how many people he had counted.

"Hmph, you come on!"

However, the old man of the sword guard was not satisfied with such an answer, and pointed to another disciple.

The disciple who was pointed out was startled, but still whispered, "Thirty-six! ”

"Come!"

The old man of the sword guard pointed to another disciple.

"Thirty-five!"

The disciple said very decisively.

"Thirty-six!"

"Thirty-five!"

For a while, all kinds of voices began to sound on the field, some said thirty-five, some said thirty-six.

Finally, after questioning all the people who stood up, they said that the number of people thirty-five and thirty-six was about the same.

In addition to the people who originally stood up, there were also many people who closed their eyes and meditated, and they were very curious, whether it was thirty-five or thirty-six, and they all opened their eyes and participated in the counting in person.

As more and more people participated, the originally quiet sword field began to become lively, and in just a quarter of an hour, almost a hundred people participated.

After seeing that most of them were involved, Wu Dao and the old man guarding the sword on the stage became quiet, just silently watching the mess on the sword field.

Of course, not everyone participated, and in this count, which was full of doubts, there were also many people with extraordinary determination who continued to sit cross-legged on the ground, never opening their eyes.

Although they are also very curious, why even counting makes such a big noise.

"Hold on, we're about to pass the test!"

After Li Kun noticed that Zhu Wei beside him seemed to be a little moved, he reminded him.

After being reminded by Li Kunyi, Zhu Weicai suddenly realized that they were still participating in the test, and hurriedly said to Long Si and Murong Cheng beside him: "Don't open your eyes, the test is not over yet." ”

"Yes!"

"I know!"

However, Long Si and Murong Cheng's concentration was obviously much stronger than Zhu Wei's, and they didn't move from beginning to end.

The sword field became more and more lively, and even began to quarrel, arguing whether it was thirty-five or thirty-six.

Because many people have already stood up, no one can tell how many people there were, except for those at the beginning.

But just when this quarrel reached its most intense, the old man guarding the sword on the square platform finally spoke again and said, "Hehe, very good, very good!" You really give the old man face, but the old man is very disappointed! ”

"Everyone gave the old man a lot of face, but the old man was very disappointed, really disappointed!"

The old man who guarded the sword stood up and said very calmly. However, although the old man who guarded the sword said it plainly, many people felt his loss.

"Not good!"

"Damn, we were fooled!"

"We were deceived, he deliberately lured us into being fooled!"

", how could I be so stupid, I forgot that this is a test, the test is not over at all, what am I going to do with it?"

When the old man who guarded the sword spoke, many people suddenly realized that they were still being tested, and according to the rules of the test, even if they opened their eyes, they were eliminated, and they began to regret it one by one.

"If you violate the rules, please leave on your own. Wait for the next opportunity! "The old man of the sword guard said very plainly, but no one dared to disobey it.

People began to leave, no matter how unwilling they were, they could only leave.

After a while, the sword field became empty, and there were less than a hundred people left, and those disciples who had been recognized by the ancient sword seemed to have secretly pointed out, and all of them had passed the test and could endure the noise and excitement.

After the people were gone, the old man who guarded the sword continued: "Actually, from the beginning, I didn't want to tell any stories to everyone, I just wanted to interfere with everyone, among them, some people couldn't stand the influence and opened their eyes, and you are all very good, you can always persevere." I am happy! ”

"Please continue to meditate for the rest of the time, maybe there will be other gains, and in an hour, I will be back!" The old man of the sword guard glanced at the people who had not yet opened their eyes, turned around and left.

"Whew, it's okay, I was almost eliminated!"

Zhu Wei breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, if it wasn't for Li Kun secretly transmitting to him at the critical moment, maybe he would have been eliminated.

Although he wanted to open his eyes and say thank you in front of Li Kun, he could only resist this impulse, continue to meditate, and wait for the end of time.

An hour is not long, but it is not short.

Some people feel that this hour passes very long, and some people think that it passes quickly.

"Congratulations to all of you for passing the test!"

Finally, an hour later, the old man's voice sounded with joy.

After hearing the voice of the old man guarding the sword, many people finally couldn't help but open their eyes, with a smile on their faces, but most of them seemed to have learned to be obedient, and after opening their eyes, they no longer made noise, just quietly looked at the old man guarding the sword.

"It's finally over!"

Zhu Wei and the others also opened their eyes, this hour was really long for them, and they almost couldn't hold on several times.

Li Kun also opened his eyes, but his face was not very good, because in this hour, he entered that strange world several times, and each time he suddenly entered and came out suddenly, if it wasn't for his strong willpower, he would have opened his eyes a long time ago.

"Li Kun, are you okay?"

Zhu Wei's voice sounded in Li Kun's mind, and he asked with some concern.
