Chapter 114: Memory Contest
Hearing Wu Liang propose a gambling fight, Wei Wuji turned around and asked Wei Hong what was going on.
"It's not a martial arts competition, pharmacist apprentices don't practice martial arts, and they have their own ways to decide the winner. ”
Wei Hong told Wei Wuji that the competition between pharmacist apprentices is generally decided by memory. Gamblers on both sides choose a book for each other and test their ability to memorize. Whoever can memorize more words within a certain period of time wins.
"Wu Liang wants to compete with Wei Xiaokai to memorize the competition between pharmacist apprentices, it's very interesting. Wei Wuji said with a smile.
"No, if it's a dispute between the two, of course it's a two-person competition. But now it is a contradiction between Group A and Group B, and everyone has to participate in the competition. ”
Wei Hong continued to explain that people from both sides had to participate in such a strong memory competition. During the competition, one person recites in front, and when he can't remember, his companion behind can remind him or recite on his behalf. To put it simply, it is a test of a group of people's strong memory ability.
This kind of competition, Wei Wuji had never heard of before, and he became curious in his heart, sitting next to him, watching the development of the situation with interest.
Both sides agree to compete, the winner gets the medicinal materials, and the loser not only has to give up the medicinal materials, but also has to add some additional compensation.
After the stakes are decided, people from both sides gather to choose the pharmacist's book for each other.
Needless to say, since it is a memory book prepared for the other party, of course, the more difficult the better. Wei Xiaokai discussed here and selected a copy of "Dan Fang Secrets" for the other party.
This "Dan Fang Secret" is just a fragment, because it is missing, so it is placed in the corner on weekdays, and no one pays attention to it. A pharmacist apprentice in Group B accidentally discovered this "Secret of the Dan Fang" and felt a little interested, so he took it with him.
"This book of "The Secret of Dan Fang" is good! Wu Liang, a bastard, definitely didn't expect that there would be such an unpopular classic on our side, and we will win!" Wei Xiaokai flipped through the classics and said happily.
"Seeing Wu Liang's deflated expression, I felt unprecedented comfort from head to toe......"
"That guy relies on his own brother is the strength of the triple heaven, he is usually arrogant, and he hates it very much!"
"It's really bad that you actually have this copy of "The Secret of Dan Fang" with you...... Hehe, but I like ......"
"Winning the other party's medicinal herbs in exchange for family merits, it is very pleasant, and it is so pleasant that it is ......"
Everyone in Group B smiled with their eyebrows, and even Wei Hong showed a smile on his face.
Wei Wuji sat next to him, looking at everyone's expressions, and it was clear in his heart that this "Dan Fang Secrets" was definitely an unpopular classic that couldn't be colder.
The other party, Wu Liang and the others, also prepared the classics, looked at Wei Xiaokai's side, and showed a malicious smile.
"It is estimated that the other party is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the classics prepared must have been beyond everyone's expectations. Wei Wuji saw the expressions of Wu Liang and the others from a distance, and secretly thought to himself.
After getting ready, Wu Liang came to the stone table under the arch guard of everyone, the corners of his mouth went up, pulled up an arc, showed an unfathomable smile, and looked at Wei Xiaokai and the others.
Wei Xiaokai smiled, and returned the color.
Surrounded by everyone, he walked to the stone table, put the book on the stone table, pressed the name of the book with his palm, and looked at the other party not to be outdone.
"What kind of broken book, still pressing the name with your hand?" Wu Liang's face was full of disdain, he stretched out his right hand behind him, put the name of a classic book face down, and put it on the stone table, "Take a look for yourself, I hope you won't be scared to death." ”
"If you die, I won't die. Wei Xiaokai sneered, let go of his hand and picked up the other party's book.
Looking down, Wei Xiaokai's face suddenly changed color, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Ancient Mystery Recipe......?
Everyone next to him heard Wei Xiaokai's words, and their faces became ugly.
Hahahaha, Wu Liang and the people behind him laughed together.
"Listening to your tone, I know that you were surprised, I didn't scare you to death, and you were fat enough. I don't want to say more about what I said about you. Lest you lose, and say that I have influenced you, hurry up and memorize it. ”
After Wu Liang finished speaking, he reached out and picked up the classics on the table, he looked at the classics, and a trace of abnormality flashed on his face. However, he looked at the expressions of Wei Xiaokai and the others, and his mood immediately became happy again, "The child of the split family is called Wei ...... What a taboo ......"
Someone next to him reminded him of the other party's name.
Wu Liang deliberately patted his head, pretending to remember, "Yes, your name is Wei Wuji! You are sitting with them, and you are also a member of the Wei family, so you can also participate in the competition." Let's see if you can do them a little favor and test them out as you like, your cleverness and stupidity. ”
This is obviously to take this opportunity to humiliate Wei Wuji.
Wei Wuji understood in his heart, but there was no trace on his face, and he said with a smile: "If that's the case, then I might as well be respectful." ”
There are three family guards who followed into the mountain this time. One of the guards took a handful of soil, put it on the stone table, put an incense stick and lit it, and said to both sides: "I have been pushed by everyone to be just, and now the time for a stick of incense, everyone hastened." ”
Wu Liang's side walked into the distance and began to recite it in a hurry.
Wei Xiaokai and the others looked at each other and did not speak. The classics were set aside, and no one bothered to read them, not even bothering to read them.
"I'm sorry everyone, but we're going to lose this time. Wei Xiaokai sighed.
"Xiao Kai, I don't blame you for this, who knew that they would carry the "Ancient Mystery" on them?"
"yes, no one expected ......"
"If you lose, you lose, it's not a dead person, the family feats are lost, you can do more tasks to make up for it......"
And they all sat aside, sighing and talking.
"Is this book difficult to memorize?" Wei Wuji asked Wei Hong softly.
"How do you know that it is difficult to memorize? Even if you hold a book and look at it, it is very difficult. ”
Wei Hong explained to Wei Wuji that this "Ancient Mystic Prescription" is not a classic for pharmacist apprentices to study, and only three-grade alchemists will study this classic. In the classics, many ancient texts are very different from the current ones, and the meaning of the words is difficult and profound. If the alchemist usually wants to interpret it, he also needs to read other classics before he can read it.
In short, in a word, if you want to recite "Ancient Mysteries", it is almost impossible in the time of a stick of incense.
"I can't understand the pronunciation of some words, so naturally I can't memorize them. Wei Wuji nodded, "However, if you don't know the pronunciation and write the words silently, can you pass the test?"
Wei Hong was stunned when he heard this, "This is okay, as long as the text is forcibly memorized and written out silently, it can be counted as recitation." However, such a strong memorization is much more difficult than memorization. ”
"Hehe, maybe I can give it a try. ”
Wei Wuji stood up with a smile and walked over
