Chapter 42: Offensive and Defensive Choices
The moment Qin Mo disappeared into the ladder, the Fengling Mountain Pen in Wei Shu's hand fell into the ink inkstone.
The rice paper on the floating case showed a neat line of words: the first four sentences of "Difficult to Walk" written by the poet Xian need to be written in regular script or line script.
Wei Shu showed a smile on his face, "Difficult to Walk" is a masterpiece of the world, the poem has many strokes, that is, there are more strokes, which complement the meaning of the poem and are praised by later generations.
Of course, it is difficult to write a lot of strokes, but compared to other people's test questions, this question can only be regarded as slightly difficult, and it is far from reaching the point of weirdness.
The remaining five children all sighed, knowing that this was the result, they should not be greedy to choose a good pen, they should do what they can.
Especially the person who had ridiculed Wei Shu before, now blushed.
The hourglass next to the pen holder, the golden sand is falling rapidly, that is to say, dragging is definitely not a good way, and after the time runs out, the same will be sentenced to disqualification, and the journey to enlightenment ends here.
Wei Shu's expression calmly put down the pen, and he began to write in a standard style: the golden bottle of sake is ten thousand, and the jade plate is worth ten thousand dollars. I couldn't eat when I stopped throwing my cup, and I was at a loss when I drew my sword and looked around.
As the last stroke is finished, the word "qualified" appears in the upper right corner of the rice paper.
He put down the brush and walked to the ladder with the envy of everyone.
On the fourth floor of the Star Tower, Qin Mo was queuing, there were four children in front of him, the assessment of attack and defense on this floor, under the clear blue sky was a huge martial arts arena, and the children were standing at the gate.
The martial arts arena is divided into two parts, and the ink-colored plaques of "attack" and "defense" are hung at the door.
The gate on the left was the attack, and in the field stood twelve soldiers in red armor, holding spears close to a foot long, wearing bronze helmets with red feathers on them.
The gate on the right was guarded, and there were sixteen black-armored soldiers standing in the field, armed with swords and shields, and a black feather standing on their helmets.
The feathers are a bit long, and at first glance these guys look like they've been hit by arrows, which is a little funny.
Each soldier was a man of light and strong stature, with a majestic expression and a strong sense of murder on his face.
Obviously, the soldiers in both fields were not easy to deal with.
Because there are two venues, you can enter two challengers at the same time at a time, and you can freely choose whether to "attack" or "defend", and if the two people make the same choice, you need to use guessing and other methods to solve it.
Call!
A small wind blew behind him, and Qin Mo didn't have to look back to know that a newcomer was coming, and it was very likely that it was Wei Shu.
"Brother Ziyi. ”
Sure enough, it was Wei Shu, he walked over with a smile on his face, hugged his fists and said, "Little brother was able to successfully climb to the fourth floor, thank you Brother Ziyi for your advice." ”
Qin Mo smiled and said, "It's still so polite." ”
Wei Shu walked to his side, pouted at the martial arts arena inside, and asked, "What's the situation?"
Qin Mo replied: "Every time two people go in, they discuss with each other to choose different doors, fight against the soldiers inside, and only when they meet the requirements can they pass the level." ”
Wei Shu frowned slightly, stared at the two martial arts arenas and observed them carefully, and then came to a conclusion, saying: "Although there are few people on the left, the soldiers in red armor are generally stronger in combat effectiveness, so it is easier to choose the 'guard' on the right to win." ”
The four people in front of them were all of the same opinion, including the groups of people who had entered earlier, all vying for the door on the right.
Qin Mo smiled and said, "You and I happen to be ranked fifth and sixth, we can go in together later, since you think the right side has a greater grasp, then I will choose the left side." ”
"Then what's so embarrassing, thanks to you just now, I was able to pass the second layer of the test, whether it was out of gratitude or something else, I should give you the right side. Wei Shu Zhengse.
Qin Mo shook his head and said seriously: "You don't know me, I prefer to challenge difficulties, even if I am in a group with others, I will not hesitate to choose the left." ”
Wei Shu clenched his fists again, and said in a heartfelt tone: "Brother Ziyi, Gao Gu, junior brother, thank you." ”
After the tea, it was the turn of the two to enter.
Glancing at Wei Shu, Qin Mo walked into the door with the word "attack" written on the left.
After the examinee entered the door, he disappeared with the soldiers in the training ground and entered another space, where it was pitch black, and a beam of light illuminated an area twenty feet square, and the ground was paved with bluestone bricks.
According to the rules, the child has three chances to hide in the dark area, and the opponent will immediately stop attacking, but each time there is only thirty breaths, and the fourth time will be directly judged to be a failure.
In the eyes of the people outside, there was no change in the training ground, there were twelve red-armored soldiers standing on one side and sixteen black-armored soldiers standing on the other, and Tong Sheng disappeared as soon as he entered the door.
Qin Mo took a deep breath and stood opposite the red-armored soldier.
At this time, a male voice full of vitality sounded: "The so-called attacker refers to the attack of soldiers, and the person who comes needs to use a defensive position to insist on three undefeated formations before he can pass the test!"
Hearing this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, it turned out that "attack" refers to the opponent's attack, not the opponent's attack.
Although it is only a role change, it has seriously violated the original intention of the assessee.
Black is good at defending, and red is good at attacking.
This is common knowledge that everyone knows, so everyone is willing to choose a black-armored soldier who pays more attention to defense, because black-armored soldiers rarely take the initiative to attack, and as the main defensive side, the challenger can be guaranteed in terms of his own safety.
The current situation is that Qin Mo is the main defense, so Wei Shu should attack the main attack, and he needs to defeat the battle formation composed of sixteen black-armored soldiers before he can be regarded as a clearance.
It's almost impossible, and the black-armored soldiers are good at defending.
Although Qin Mo's situation was not optimistic, after all, he had already been mentally prepared when he chose the gate on the left, and Wei Shu needed to adjust his original mentality, which was relatively more difficult.
Qin Mo took a deep breath, and a floating case flew out of the darkness on the right side, hovering in front of him.
There is a pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the floating table, the pen is a purple bamboo spring and autumn pen, the bluestone inkstone is ground ink, and the rice paper is covered with white felt.
He stretched out his hand to pick up the brush, and the energetic male voice sounded again: "The first formation is the crab formation, and the candidates need to hold on to the time of one cup of tea and remain undefeated before they can proceed to the second formation." ”
Qin Mo slowly raised his head and asked, "What other way can you win other than holding on to a cup of tea?"
The other party was silent for a moment, and then said, "Defeat the other party and you will win directly." ”
"Understood. Qin Mo lifted his pen and dipped it in the inkstone.
At the same time, five of the twelve red-armored soldiers formed a formation of one of the two on the left and one on the left, and together they stepped out of their right legs, spears in both hands, and prepared to attack.
The so-called crab formation is actually an "H" shaped formation, with two people on the left and right sides arranged vertically, and three people in front of them are in the attack position.
Qin Mo put his left hand on the edge of the floating case, so that he could move it at will, and the brush in his right hand fell on the paper, writing the word "shield" in Zhou seal script.
The reason why the Zhou seal was chosen was because it was easier to write and faster than the Qin seal.
The crab array moved quickly towards him, and the distance of ten zhang was in the blink of an eye.
Qin Mo sped up his writing, and as the last stroke was finished, the simple shape of the word "shield" turned into a sturdy Western Zhou wrestler, nearly nine feet tall, wearing a bronze heavy helmet, wearing bronze cast armor, two strong and powerful arms exposed, and a thick beast-faced shield in his hand.
The nine-foot height here refers to the ruler of the Zhou Dynasty, which is roughly equivalent to the six feet of the Song ruler, which is close to two meters.
Lux stood in front of the floating table with his eyes wide open, holding a shield with two muscular arms.
While...... While!
Two red-armored soldiers stabbed their spears and were blocked by shield-wielding wrestlers with their shields.
Qin Mo glanced sideways and made sure that the shield wrestler could hold on for a while, he handed the brush to his left hand as fast as he could, and wrote with his left hand while moving with the shield force.
After mastering the art of dual-mindedness, he found time to practice writing with his left hand, and although not as dexterous as his right hand, he also mastered several words.
Generally, after the scribe has finished writing a single word, he must maintain his concentration, otherwise the [single word for a soldier] will lose control in an instant, and then disappear.
Only a dual-minded person can control two words at the same time, and he hasn't done anything like this before, because after clearing the first level, single-mindedness has been promoted from a beginner cyclone to an intermediate level, which makes him more confident to try.
Because he writes with his left hand, in order to ensure the success rate, he chooses the character "cow" with fewer strokes.
This character is not very good-looking, but it still meets the requirements of [single word for soldiers], and transforms into an ordinary ox, which is the first realm of the word "cow".
Moo!
The scalper screamed, lowered his head and showed his horns, and rushed towards the crab show.
The two soldiers on the left side of the crab array stabbed their spears at the same time, and the ox dodged one of them, and was stabbed in the abdomen by the other, and his body became illusory, and then he was stabbed again, and then disappeared.
Although it failed to achieve any results, it fundamentally reduced the pressure on the shield wrestler.
Qin Mo took a deep breath, raised his left hand and wrote the word "cow" again, with the experience just now, this time he was even more daring, writing Zhou Seal.
Moo!
As the high-pitched cow roared, a reddish-brown bull rushed towards the red-armored soldiers.
The third realm of the word "cow"!
Qin Mo finished with his left hand, and his heart was excited.
The five soldiers were obviously frightened by this big guy, and hurriedly threw down the shield-wielding wrestler, and dealt with the brute bull with all their might.
Relying on its thick skin and flesh, the brute bull ignored the spear stabbed by the opponent, and it lunged left and right, finally seizing the opportunity to knock a soldier to the ground.
Four spears pierced its body at the same time, and it raised its head and roared, flicking its head violently, and the right horn stabbed into the body of a soldier.
The bull began to become illusory, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
One of the five soldiers on the other side was seriously wounded and one was slightly wounded, and the battle formation had already lost one-third of its combat effectiveness, and the battle formation was not formed.
Looking at Qin Mo's side again, he maintains the posture of holding the pen in his left hand, and he can complete new words at any time, and the shield wrestler is still able to fight, and the momentum is like a rainbow.
A male voice full of vitality sounded: "You win, the first formation passes, and the second formation is carried out after a third of the pillar incense." ”
"No, you can start now. He said confidently.
"As you wish, the second formation is a triangular formation, consisting of nine soldiers!"
