Chapter 126: Fear of the Unknown

Listening to Sima Hongyan's words, the more bizarre it became, it was beyond the scope of Shi Jinyan's thinking, she shook her head again blankly, and asked, "Bet?" How to bet on this? ”

Sima Hongyan explained unhurriedly: "Gambling is nothing more than two outcomes, one is that I win the bet, and the other is naturally the gamble to lose." But for me, who only knows a hundred books, winning or losing is not the most important thing. Because losing a bet is nothing more than losing a game first, although it is somewhat disadvantageous, but there are still many opportunities behind. Others are not gods, there will always be mistakes, and I will bet that others will make mistakes in one of the hundred books I will, and then my chance will come back. But if you win, the effect is extraordinary! ”

Speaking of this, Shi Jinyan slowly understood.

I only heard Sima Hongyan continue: "In the art of war, there is a trick called taking the lead to seize people, which is actually what it means. You have 100,000 soldiers, and I only have 10,000, but the momentum I make makes you think I have a million. Use your own delusions to create psychological hints for you, so that you have the idea that you can't win in your mind. If I use my soldiers and horses skillfully and arrange them properly, I am afraid that even if I can't win against you, I won't be able to lose. ”

said, pointing to the middle of the arena, and continued: "And now the situation is obvious, Lan Shuang she won the bet, the first one happened to be familiar to her, and she performed perfectly." It also creates a false impression for everyone! If I don't talk about you, let's just talk about her four opponents, I'm afraid I can't calm down now. Once there is psychological pressure, their performance will inevitably be affected next, which increases the probability of mistakes, and Lan Shuang's goal has been achieved, as long as she concentrates on finding other people's loopholes, then her chances of winning will be more! ”

Shi Jinyan is a person who can understand everything and draw inferences from one another, but she still thinks that Sima Hongyan's idea is too bold and too risky. And these are just Sima Hongyan's speculations, not facts, if Lan Shuang is not as Sima Hongyan expected, but really has a talent to learn, then these words can only be used as temporary comfort.

However, after Sima Hongyan's explanation, Shi Jinyan felt a lot better and smiled a little. She held Sima Hongyan's hand and said gratefully, "I hope it is as you say!" ”

Knowing that Shi Jinyan couldn't believe it, Sima Hongyan surged into the field and said to Shi Jinyan: "What I said is all speculation, and I can't be sure myself, but you can take a look at Li Siyu." ”

Shi Jinyan was curious about why Sima Hongyan suddenly pulled Li Siyu's body again, so she looked at Li Siyu in wonder, and when she looked at it a few times, her expression turned to look at Sima Hongyan in surprise.

And Sima Hongyan was looking at her with a smile and said to her, "You're right! We should believe in Li Siyu. You can see that his breezy appearance is completely different from the panicked expressions of the other three opponents, it seems that Lan Shuang's performance did not surprise him, so I think he is still very sure! ”

At this moment, Shi Jinyan still didn't believe that Lan Shuang dared to take the big risk of the world and make a big gamble with the people of the world, but the reality made Sima Hongyan's analysis reasonable, coupled with Li Siyu's calmness and calmness, so that Shi Jinyan really didn't know which direction she would develop next.

Shi Jinyan's frustration has been replaced by a strong curiosity at this moment, but no matter how much speculation is in the audience, it is better to wait and see how things develop. At this time, the preparation in the field was completed, and it was the turn of the second racer to throw the stone, and everyone's attention was once again attracted by the field.

Since Lan Shuang has become the first starter, her next order is Xiyue, Nanyi, Beiling, Yanling, and Li Siyu has become the last person in each round.

However, the finale is not good, but it is not bad, in short, the contest between the five people cannot be relaxed for a moment, and it is likely that the victory or defeat depends on the instantaneous.

The second racer was the one who had hesitated to raise his hand but didn't, and when he heard his assistant announce that he was ready to throw stones, he went to the table in front of him to fumble around. I don't know if he was nervous or what, the yellow stones were obviously not far from him on the table, but he had touched them several times to get them, and it seemed that he had forgotten where the stones were.

Seeing that the Xiyue racer had obvious abnormalities, Shi Jinyan looked at Sima Hongyan next to her, and thought to herself: "Could it be that Hongyan really said it right?" Did the illusion make the West Vietnamese racer behave out of style? ”

No matter what the West Vietnamese national racer was thinking, there was no one to help him now. And being blindfolded added to his stress and tension, making him feel short of breath. In a panic, the West Vietnamese racer threw Huangshi backwards, and the power was not well controlled, and the direction was slightly off. But fortunately, it didn't fly anywhere else, and the yellow stone fell and fell into a bookbox near the edge, making a very clear "dang chang" sound.

The assistants of the five countries stepped forward together, picked up the bookbox, and put it on the bookcase from before. After seeing the title of the book, the five assistants turned around together, took a step forward, and shouted loudly at the same time: "The title of the book in Huangshi Tou is "The Law of Etiquette"! ”

This time, without waiting for Sima Hongyan to ask, Shi Jinyan explained to her: "Xiling is lucky, this book is less than 40,000 words, and it talks about the world's rituals, which is very easy. ”

Sima Hongyan sneered, but said, "I don't think so!" ”

Shi Jinyan said: "Although this book is long, the content is closely related to the past behavior, even if you don't need to memorize it, you have already heard it well, how can you still make mistakes?" ”

Sima Hongyan said: "Respectfully! You only think about the difficulty of the bibliography, but you don't think about the mental state of the racers. Like his soulless appearance, it's no wonder if he doesn't make a mistake! ”

But Shi Jinyan disagreed, and said: "Even if he is a little nervous, can he still memorize the etiquette law teaching that he has been tired of listening to for many years?" ”

Sima Hongyan straightened his tired body and replied, "Maybe you ignored the black cloth that covered his eyes!" ”

After Shi Jinyan looked at the several racers who were covering their eyes, still unsure, Sima Hongyan explained to her: "Our eyes are not only used to see things, but also the main way to receive information from the outside world. But for a person with normal eyes, suddenly letting him see nothing will make his feelings about the outside world and his inner feelings infinitely magnified! For example, the fear of not being able to see things and the tension in his heart will cause his mind to be confused, and maybe he will forget his name now! ”

Hearing Sima Hongyan say so mysteriously, Shi Jinyan asked curiously, "Where did you learn this strange saying?" It's the first time I've heard of myself being blindfolded and forgetting what I'm called. ”

This theory was learned by Sima Hongyan in modern scientific research, and naturally could not be explained to Shi Jinyan. So he said to her in a different way: "Once I was idle at home, playing hide and seek with myself. As a result, not long after I blindfolded my eyes, I began to completely forget my sense of direction, and even felt inexplicable fear. It stands to reason that I am in my own home, and there will definitely be no danger, and the worst outcome is nothing more than a fall, and there is nothing to be afraid of. But at that time, I just couldn't help but be afraid, and even the footsteps of someone walking in the distance made me shiver. Later I realized that this was because of the fear of the unknown that comes from not being able to see things! ”

As he spoke, he saw that Xiyue's assistant was lighting incense for the racer, so he sped up his speech and continued: "If the blind are accustomed to the darkness for many years, there is no need to say it. But you know in your heart that you are not blind, but you can't see anything, that kind of terrible I will never want to try a second time. What's more, the five people in the field have been blindfolded for so long, it would be abnormal not to panic. ”

Shi Jinyan retorted at this time: "That's not necessarily, you look at Li Siyu, who is also blindfolded, but he is comfortable and contented, and he doesn't panic at all." ”

Hearing Shi Jinyan mention Li Siyu, Sima Hongyan couldn't help but laugh and said: "This is the benefit of a nerd, a person like him with a tendon does everything without distractions, and completely enters a state of selflessness, so he is naturally not affected by blindfolding!" ”

When Sima Hongyan spoke, Shi Jinyan stared at Sima Hongyan intently. After she finished speaking, Shi Jinyan suddenly said: "Hongyan, you are such a strange person!" I don't usually like to read, but I can always say these unbelievable truths. And every word must be true, with very few mistakes, or no misses. I'm curious about what you've learned before, and who taught you this? ”
