Chapter 208: Someone cheats
At this moment, except for the few disciples who were making orders and turning in circles, everyone else was making a fuss, but no one came forward to stop them. Lu Xueyuan looked at the noisy appearance of the other disciples in the main hall and did not speak.
You must know that this third trial is actually about attitude. If you don't have a good and correct attitude, then even the best ability and heart will be wasted. If the disciple first has outstanding ability, and then has a kind heart, but if the attitude is not good, the teacher's words are not respected, and the orders given are not fulfilled, even if he has the ability to turn the world upside down, it is difficult to become the leader of Qingya Mountain, let alone lead all the disciples to carry forward and bear the same heavy responsibility as the mountain.
This is the focus of Lu Xueyuan's third exam, she was looking at the disciples in the main hall at the moment, and suddenly stopped, and all the people stopped moving, and some of them complained and stood up straight, with impatient expressions on their mouths and faces.
"Now please do something else." As she spoke, she ordered a few of the disciples below to come to the stage and moved the wooden tables in front of each of the disciples who participated in the trial.
The disciples looked at the bowls on the wooden table, and their expressions were puzzled.
"Why are there so many beans in this bowl? Oh, yes? Why is there an empty bowl next to it?" A disciple asked in public.
His Royal Highness's disciples also straightened their necks and looked at the bowl in front of them, all looking at each other, not knowing what kind of medicine was being sold in this gourd.
Lu Xueyuan glanced at the stage, and saw that all the masters did not object, and continued: "Everyone, don't be impatient, this bowl in front of you is just an ordinary porcelain bowl, and the red beans in it are also ordinary grains, now I ask each of you to pick out the red beans in front of you one by one from the bowl and find the mung beans that sink at the bottom of the bowl. No spells, no cheating, the first to find out wins, and you can end this last game!" After Lu Xueyuan finished speaking, he looked into everyone's eyes, and saw surprise, surprise, confusion and anger in them.
"What are these questions? How could there be such a low-level competition? Why don't you go up to the mountains to hunt boars in order to find beans?" One of the disciples who participated in the trial shouted loudly.
"yes, yes, I've never seen a competition like this, it's... It's different!"
"Isn't there something wrong with this female disciple presiding over the conference? How could you let the disciples pick up beans, who of you has ever seen an immortal cultivator go to pick up beans?"
"That's it! Insulting majesty."
The other disciples below whispered.
Lu Xueyuan had long expected them to react like this, waved his hand to signal the hall to be quiet, and said, "Everyone who can do it here is one in a hundred excellent disciples, I know that you all have the dream of eliminating harm for the people and guarding the country, and you don't want to do such a trivial thing, so I won't force everyone here today." There are some disciples who don't want to participate in this competition, it's still too late to quit, and they can still go to the dining hall to receive a delicious meal as compensation, but they don't have a chance with the final result! If the disciple who continues to stay in the temple chooses to participate in the competition, then count the number of red beans in front of him, if he does not pick them up within the specified time, he will be regarded as losing, and the person who loses does not have that exquisite gift!" Lu Xueyuan gestured to all the participating disciples as he spoke, showing them the direction of the dining hall. Chinese Net
At this time, an unusually strong fragrance wafted from the dining hall, causing all the cravings in people's stomachs to run out.
"Hey, I, I, I'm willing to give up this exam!" Suddenly, a disciple raised his hand and said.
"I'm giving up, I still want to go to the dining hall for a full meal!"
"I'm hungry too, take me with you, I'm sorry everyone, I'll leave this bean in front of you to pick it up slowly!" …
As he spoke, several disciples threw down the bowls in front of them and rushed to the dining hall not far in front of them, and they slipped away without a shadow in three or two clicks.
So far, in the main hall of more than a dozen people, only a few disciples who participated in the final trial are left at this moment.
They are Muren, Zhenying, Mingzhu and Lanyan.
Lu Xueyuan looked at the backs of those disappeared disciples and shook his head.
Then the trial begins, everyone
Du quietly picked up the beans in the bowl in front of him, and did not relax for a moment. The funnel in the back was remembering the time, and it could be seen that some of the disciples sitting below were even more nervous than the disciples who participated in the trial above, looking at the funnel in front of them from time to time to calculate the time.
Lu Xueyuan walked gently in front of these four disciples, looking at each of them extremely focused, but only a quarter of an hour had passed, and some people couldn't sit still.
I saw Zhenying pick up the red beans in the bowl with chopsticks, and gently put them into another bowl, so repeatedly, after all, I felt bored, looked up at Mu Renlan and the two of them beside me, and then looked at the time that slipped away in the hourglass, and after a while, I didn't have the energy and mood to continue the next trial.
And Lan Yan beside him was already sweating a lot, I don't know if it was because of nervousness or something else, he kept wiping his forehead with his clothes. But little by little, he picked up the red beans in front of him. He picked it up slowly and counted the sounds in his mouth, but after a while, he had to count them again, for fear that he would remember or enter wrongly.
Among the four disciples, the most indifferent and focused were Mu Ren and Ming Candle. The two of them were standing in a row, but no one seemed to let anyone, and they didn't even raise their heads for a moment, just looking at the red beans in the bowl in front of them.
"Fifty-five, fifty-six, fifty-seven...... One hundred and one ......" Mu Ren quietly remembered the red bean grains he had counted in his heart, and then slowly put them into the empty bowl next to him, his breathing was even, his eyes were focused and indifferent, although his face was a little tight, but he still maintained a calm posture, focusing on the movements in his hands, never looking forward or backward.
Lu Xueyuan observed Mu Ren for a long time, and felt in his heart that he was a rare good seedling, if he practiced hard and worked hard, he would definitely be able to become a talent who would lead Qingya Mountain to a smoother road, and he would definitely be on par with Senior Brother Qi Zhurong.
But at this moment, when everyone had not come back to their senses, Ming Zhu suddenly stopped the movement in his hand, picked out a mung bean, and said to the people in the main hall, "Found it."
His words and deeds instantly attracted all the eyes of the hall to look at him, and he was holding up a small mung bean in his hand, and in the empty bowl around him, only half of the red beans were lying quietly in the bowl.
Suddenly, a thunderous cheer broke out from above the main hall, and the disciples of the Chaohui Sect each waved their arms and whistled to congratulate their young and promising senior brothers, and the atmosphere in the main hall suddenly became lively.
Then the other disciples also stopped the movements in their hands, looked at the mung beans in Ming Candle's hand, and shook their heads slightly.
Lu Xueyuan's heart twitched at this moment, "How come? She obviously explained to the disciples of Qingya Mountain in advance, put the mung beans into the bottom of the bowl, and waited until all the disciples had counted the red beans before finding out the mung beans. But what's going on now? Could it be that in the process of walking, the mung beans in the bowl collided, so they ran up, and they happened to be picked up by the bright candle?"
Lu Xueyuan suddenly had a roar in her mind at this moment, she walked forward quickly, looked at Ming Candle's bowl with only half a bowl of red beans, and then looked at the mung beans in his hand, and suddenly said loudly, "Do you know that you are not allowed to use spells in this trial!"
"I didn't!" Ming Zhu said, and then he took a bell from his belt, handed it to Lu Xueyuan and said, "This is a phantom sound bell, which can detect whether there are traces of the use of magic, if not, it must be silent, if there is, it will make a crisp sound, Senior Sister Lu, if you don't believe it, you can test it!"
Lu Xueyuan looked at the phantom sound bell in his hand and took it, and then tested the two bowls in front of him, and sure enough, nothing was detected, it seems that this time it was really lucky, and Ming Zhu did win in this trial. Or as she said herself, the one with the shortest time wins, and whoever picks up the mung beans first wins.
And at this moment, she has also seen the phantom sound bell in her hand, it is a magic weapon, but it can detect traces of inability to use it as Ming Candle said, so she has to admit that Ming Candle did win the last competition.
"Hahahahaha! All right! Good! It is worthy of being a disciple of my Chizhufeng Zhaohui faction, and it is worthy of my careful teaching for more than ten years, and now he has finally won a head start for his teacher! Hahahaha, in the future, this Qingya Mountain will be in charge
You're afraid you're seated!" Master Chi Ye hurriedly stepped down from his seat on the stage, came to Ming Candle with a big laugh, picked up the mung bean in his hand, and said with a laugh. At this moment, the disciples of the Chaohui Sect raised their arms and shouted, "Senior Brother is mighty! The Chaohui faction is mighty! Congratulations, Master!"
"Wait," Lu Xueyuan said, suddenly walking up to Master Chi Ye, looking at the mung bean in his hand, his eyes suddenly widened. She took the mung bean that was picked up by the bright candle again, held her breath and concentrated, invoked all her true qi and spiritual power, felt the inherent aura of this bean, and suddenly opened her eyes and said, "This is not a mung bean."
"Huh? Not a mung bean? What's that?" Suddenly, the disciples on the dust hall discussed this matter in a low and compact voice as if they had exploded.
But Master Chi Ye, who was standing in front of Lu Xueyuan, pushed her away, raised his hand and scolded loudly, "What is it that is not a mung bean? You and the Dust Sect see that your disciples are left behind, and they do not hesitate to slander under the pretext, I think you are the biggest joke!"
Lu Xueyuan looked at Master Chi Ye who was speaking ill of him, but he didn't have the slightest fear, but clenched the bean in his hand tightly and said, "Please take a closer look, the mung bean in my hand is just a red bean that has changed!" She raised her hand as she spoke, and the red bean removal method in her hand turned into its original appearance, which was a pure and pure red bean.
"Huh? Is it really a red bean? So why is that? Could it be that the candle really made a fake?" There was a lot of noise in the main hall, and the disciples couldn't help but discuss.
"But Senior Sister Lu has clearly tested it with the Phantom Sound Bell, and there is no trace of any spell, how can this mung bean be fake?"
"But that phantom sound bell is obviously his own thing, who dares to say that he hasn't done anything wrong, and it's normal that he can't check it, but fortunately, Senior Sister Lu found it in time, otherwise our Qingya Mountain would really be moldy for eight lifetimes!"
All the disciples, you and I say a word, all of them have their own opinions on this cheating behavior, Lu Xueyuan stretched out his finger and asked the disciples of the entire hall to stop discussing it for the time being.
"Everyone, be quiet, I want to clarify that this time the cheating was not done by the disciple Ming Zhu who participated in the trial, but..."
