Chapter Ninety-Six: An Unexpected Result
Time passed minute by minute, the hourglass ticked, the sound entered the ears, and in the courtyard, all the disciples had different faces.
The three pills are all black and emit poisonous smoke, only one of them is non-toxic, and everyone's task is to find out which one of them is not poisonous, take it, and write down their experiences and attributes.
If you choose correctly, Zuihou is not poisoned, and you can write down your experience and attributes correctly, then you can enter the third level.
It's just that...... So many people who tried in front of them failed, and more than a dozen people either mistakenly poisoned the pill and had already been carried out, or they were afraid of the battle and gave up automatically, and the only three people left in the field were Tang Gu, Shui Xue, and the rough young man in blue.
Seeing that the time was getting closer and closer, it was not far from the end of the assessment time, but Tang Gu, Shui Xue, and the rough young man in blue were still standing in place, motionless.
Is this Dan, to accept or not to accept? This is a question.
When it comes to life and death, it involves courage, and no one dares to joke with life at will.
However, everyone understands that time waits for no one, and no one can always leave time for them to think, so when the time comes, as long as you don't take the pill, it will be counted as an automatic failure.
So...... This Dan, in the end, to accept or not to accept?
All the disciples stared at Tang Gu, Shui Xue, and the blue-clothed rough young man, wanting to see the results of their zuihou, and the mentality of those who failed was particularly complicated.
They want to see which of the three pills is real, but they don't want others to succeed, but they themselves fail to drink, appear incompetent, and suffer from gains and losses for a while.
A few disciples looked at the long-necked hourglass. There is not much time left, and there is only a thin layer on the mouth of the gourd above.
"Hurry up, ...... faster"
They read anxiously in their hearts, this is the loser who most eagerly hopes that Tang Gu and the other three will also fail together.
If this assessment is finally wiped out, it will not be their problem, but the problem of Xinglin Villa, and they may still have a chance.
And if someone can succeed. Regardless of the success of a few. Zuihou They can only be eliminated, and this time they have traveled thousands of miles to participate in the trial, and it can only be empty.
Therefore, they are naturally unwilling. It is natural to hope that others are also losers like yourself. I don't want to see anyone succeed.
These people. He paid more attention to the every move of Tang Gu and the three of them, for fear that before the hourglass dripped out, their footsteps would move. As long as the three of them made any slight movement, their hearts couldn't help but flutter violently.
Fortunately, I don't know if God heard their hearts, or if this level was really so difficult, from beginning to end, the footsteps of the three people in that scene really did not move again.
And after a while, finally, a piece of white sand fell, with a soft sound of "ding", the hourglass flipped, time stood still, and the assessment ended!
All the disciples exhaled a long breath, and put down a big stone in their hearts, very good, the time is up, even if they regret it now, it will be too late, this competition, this group is completely wiped out!
Everyone stared at Tang Gu, Shui Xue, and the rough young man in blue with ridicule, Che, and thought they were really capable, they had been standing there, it turned out that they were just pretending, what is the difference between early failure and late failure?
All the disciples breathed a sigh of relief, the end was already doomed, such a miserable result, if it was usual, they must be very remorseful. But at this time, they were still laughing heartily, because not only they failed, but even the few people who still had hope in Zuihou also failed.
People's herd mentality is so strange, obviously they have failed, one person is unlucky, it will definitely be unhappy, but if you see everyone around you as unlucky as yourself, or even more unlucky, maybe you will be happy, and you will be in the mood to laugh at others.
This is the root of inferiority.
Everyone was waiting for the old man in Tsing Yi to announce the results, and even looked forward to it, since everyone had failed, would there be a chance to change the rules and do it again.
And sure enough, the time has come, the assessment is over, and the old man in Tsing Yi finally stood in front of everyone again.
He looked at everyone, there was a very strange look in his eyes, he looked at the four or five disciples who had left the courtyard and were about to leave, and then turned around and looked at Tang Gu, Shui Xue, and the three young men in blue who had been standing in place without moving, and did not speak for a long time.
The atmosphere in the arena began to fall silent for a while, and no one spoke.
Those disciples who had left before suddenly felt bad in their hearts, and they didn't know why they had such a feeling, and the eyes of the old man in Tsing Yi made them uneasy.
Because, when the old man in Tsing Yi looked at them, his eyes were pity and disdain, but when he looked at Tang Gu, Shui Xue, and the rough young man in blue, his eyes were full of smiles and encouragement.
"How is this possible?"
Everyone thinks it's ridiculous, it's the same failure, how can they and others have a feeling of being ridiculed, and then the person who fails, who can get praise, must be too nervous, just now had an auditory hallucination.
Everyone is in good spirits, no longer thinking nonsense, waiting for the results to be made public.
Finally.
After the old man in Tsing Yi looked at everyone for a long time, his eyes deliberately fixed on Tang Gu, Shui Xue, and the rough young man in blue, nodded, smiled slightly, and then slowly said:
"The results of this assessment are...... Three passed, seventeen, failed!"
"Wow!"
The unexpected result made everyone in the audience almost dumbfounded, and this answer was not what they imagined before.
Everyone was stunned.
After deducting the poison pill by mistake, the others failed automatically, and the others, from beginning to end, did not touch the three small bottles, so weishenme...... Anyone else will be able to pass?
Isn't this assessment to check who can find out the correct pill and take it and write down their experience?
There was silence in the crowd, and after a while, someone finally reacted and began to be in an uproar, looking at each other.
"How is that possible?"
"Impossible? Is this weishenme?"
A young man in red clothes walked out of the crowd, rolled his eyes, and suddenly asked, "Teacher, who are the passers?"
The old man in Tsing Yi glanced at him, as if he knew what he wanted to ask, he shook his head, extinguished the illusion in the heart of the young man in red, and then pointed to the three people in front of him, Tang Gu, Shui Xue, and the rough young man in blue, and said: "It's them, No. 7, No. 9, No. 10!"
“weishenme?”
This time, not only the young man in red, but also everyone in the audience was boiling together, and this answer was beyond everyone's expectations.
Someone immediately stood up and questioned, raised his hand and said: "weishenme, I don't accept it, didn't the assessment rules say that you want to find the right pill and take it and write down your experience, weishenme The three of them didn't do anything, they just kept standing in place, and they passed the assessment?"
If this is the case, even if those who don't take the pill pass the assessment, then not only the three of them, but the five of us, who have not taken the pill, should also pass, and there are only three of them on the weishenme clearance list?"
“weishenme?”
The old man in Tsing Yi smiled slightly and looked at everyone, "You want to know weishenme?"
Everyone nodded in unison, the five young men who were about to leave before were all staring at him, if the old man in Tsing Yi didn't give an explanation, they must go to the head of Xinglin Villa, this result, they are not convinced!
The old man in Tsing Yi seemed to know what they were thinking, and he didn't say much, clapped his hands, and in an instant, a young man in blue walked in from outside the courtyard, holding three glasses of water in his hand.
He walked straight to the front of the man and stood still, his face not red or panting, obviously waiting outside.
The old man in Tsing Yi signaled to him, he immediately nodded respectfully, and then casually took the three pill bottles in front of a person, opened them, poured out the three pills from them, and held them in the palm of his hand.
Then, he threw the three pills into three cups of clear water.
In an instant, the three cups ......of water turned black, then turbid, bubbling, and began to emit a strange green gas, spicy and pungent.
At this moment, everyone present changed color.
The three cups of water are all specially made, and they will boil when they are poisoned, if it is a normal pill, there will be no such changes at all.
At this moment, it is self-evident what the reaction of these three glasses of water represents.
......

And until now, the matter has not been dealt with, and it is estimated that in the next year, there will still be a lot of things, but after this busy time, I finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to slowly resume the update.
I don't say that I can do more, but I will try to keep a part updated, and I am very sorry for the lack of more and broken changes to everyone, and I sincerely say sorry to everyone again.
No matter what the future holds, as long as Yiguan is still writing, he will definitely work hard to write. I can't go for speed in this book, but I will try to write it as good as possible, as evidenced by the complete rework of the previous book.
All I can do, that's the only way, Shijie, the demon master, has just begun, I'm sorry to everyone again, and xiexie everyone has accompanied me all the way, from college to today, seven years, writing books has actually been with me for seven years of life, and even longer.
From then on, I was no longer alone.
