Chapter Ninety-Eight, Mengyue
"What's that?"
Taking advantage of the gap between the waiting, Shui Xue quietly pointed to Tang Gudao, pointing to the houses that looked like small cages, and looked very curious.
When Tang Gu heard this, he also raised his eyes to look at the small house guarded by dozens of shirtless and yellow-shirted men, and after a while, he shook his head, indicating that he didn't know, but he still said: "It is estimated that it should be related to our third level assessment, otherwise, Xinglin Villa would not have sent us here." ”
"Hmm. ”
Shui Xue nodded, no longer asked, and after a while, several more young men and women were sent here, and the courtyard gradually became lively.
Everyone whispered about it, and many people were curious about the little houses, but no one could guess what they were for.
When she was bored, Shui Xue said in a low voice: "I don't know how long I have to wait?"
Tang Gu smiled and said, "Wait, since the assessment time is the same, we have already come out, and the others should be soon." ”
"Hmm", Shui Xue nodded, stopped talking, and after a while, she couldn't help but say: "I just don't know what to test in this third level?"
After the baptism of the first and second levels, everyone knows that the assessment of this Xinglin Villa cannot be explained literally, if you really do that, you will definitely die a miserable death. Therefore, all the people who have passed through these two levels have resonance in their hearts, and many people have shown a thoughtful look when they heard this, and they lowered their heads and groaned.
Tang Gu, on the other hand, smiled slightly, didn't take it to heart, and replied with a smile: "No matter what the assessment is, with your level." I believe it should be fine, rest assured!"
"Hehe......"
Hearing him say this, Shui Xue's nervous mood paused, and she smiled: "Brother Tang is too praised, I think with Brother Tang's level, there should be no problem, you have always been the calmest one." ”
When Tang Gu heard this, he smiled slightly and did not speak.
Actually, it's not that he's always calm. It's this assessment. He didn't take it to heart at all, whether it was success or failure, it didn't matter much.
Regardless of gains and losses, it is natural to be able to have no distractions. Indifferent.
"That's right......"
Shui Xue's eyes rolled. Something suddenly came to mind. Curiously asked, "Brother Tang, just now, you ...... How did you find out?"
"Huh?"
Tang Gu was stunned. Immediately understood, knowing that she was referring to the three poison pills, and then smiled: "That's not simple, there are many people who take pills, and it is impossible for everyone to be so unlucky." One poisoning pill by mistake is easy to understand, two, three, and even none of them can be picked correctly, which proves that none of the three pills are normal at all, so ...... Naturally, I was not convinced. ”
"Ah......h
Shui Xue's eyes widened, she didn't expect Tang Gu's answer to be so simple, she also spent endless energy, and almost all the knowledge she had learned, but in the end she could barely guess the answer, and she was not completely sure, and Tang Gu just used such a simple reasoning method to pass the second level in a daze.
Shui Xue was speechless for a while, and decided in her heart that it was not so simple, but Tang Gu was reluctant to say, so she didn't ask anymore.
The two did not speak again, and the atmosphere in the room fell silent for a while, and after a while, several young men and women walked in one after another, and the number was finally gathered.
A middle-aged alchemist wearing a moon-white robe appeared in front of everyone, smiled slightly, and said, "Congratulations, you have passed the second level." I am Meng Yue, the examiner of this level, below, the assessment begins. ”
After speaking, they clapped their hands, and in each person's hand, they handed out a prescription with a withered yellow color and dense handwriting.
Meng Yue looked at everyone and said, "Your task is to enter the room full of gongs, take a stick of incense, memorize this prescription completely, and then come out." ”
"Huh, it's so simple, how is it possible?"
Before coming here, everyone thought about how difficult the third level would be, but they never thought that it would just be for them to record a prescription, and everyone stared at each other one by one.
Although this prescription looks dense at a glance, involving at least seventy or eighty kinds of medicinal materials, everyone is not an ordinary person, is this third level of assessment, is it really just that simple?
Really...... Before everyone's thoughts were finished, the Mengyue alchemist at the top of them had already smiled slightly, and then glanced at them sympathetically: "Okay, let's go in, remember, you only have a stick of incense, if you can't pass this level, you don't need to take the assessment directly after the fourth level, because the fourth level, the assessment is alchemy, and the pill you refine is the prescription you need to record." ”
After speaking, he clapped his hands, and in an instant, dozens of small houses on the top opened at the same time, and everyone looked at each other suspiciously, not knowing what the hell Xinglin Villa was going to do this time, but the matter had come to this point, and he could only force down his heart full of questions, and he walked into his room one by one.
Only Tang Gu, his eyes swept over those gongs, and he had a hidden understanding in his heart, but he didn't say anything, smiled calmly, and strode into his room.
"Brush!"
At the same time that everyone entered the room, the wooden door outside closed at the same time, and at the same time, a stick of high incense had already burned on a square tripod in the courtyard.
"The assessment begins!"
With the shout of Meng Yue outside, all the people in the house who participated in the assessment opened the paper in their hands at the same time and quickly memorized it.
Although the whole prescription is long, but the time of a stick of incense is more than enough, in less than a moment, someone remembered three or four tenths of it, seeing that there is still more than half of the remaining time, just when everyone thought that this level was nothing more than this, Meng Yue in the courtyard outside suddenly smiled gloomily, stretched out his hand, and waved his hand vigorously.
Suddenly, as if receiving some order, dozens of shirtless men in yellow shirts guarding outside the wooden door reached out at the same time and quickly picked up the gong beside them, and knocked it down expressionlessly......
"Bell ......"
"Bell ......"
It was as if the soul of the devil sounded in everyone's ears in an instant, and it was soul-stirring. In the No. 3 wooden house, a young man in green, who remembered very quickly, was almost at the end, and was about to succeed, at this moment, an earth-shaking gong sounded in his ears, and the high decibel almost deafened his ears on the spot.
Then, more dense and more intense gongs gathered, and the whole wooden house "banged", and the doors vibrate.
"Ah......h
At first, he didn't understand what was going on, but when he saw that the high incense in the courtyard outside had been half burned, the young man in green reacted suddenly, hurriedly covered his ears, forced his mind, and looked at the paper in his hand again, but this time, he couldn't see it anyway.
It's as if all the pieces of paper have become ghost drawings.
"Copper Flower, Peacock Root, Water Snow Grass, Dark Soul Incense, Shadow Seeking Leaf, Silver Snake Blood, Blue Flame Zhu Tang ......"
He endured it, memorized them one by one, and barely remembered them to the end, but when he turned around, he found that he had already forgotten all the things that had taken so much time to memorize, and he couldn't even remember them for a while.
The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, the more anxious he became, the more anxious he became, and the more time outside was constantly passing......
The young man in green put down the paper in his hand in a daze, and the whole person was stunned.
At the same time, the situation in the third wooden room was almost the same in the other rooms, and even those with weak resistance almost collapsed to the ground on the spot without being frightened when the first gong sounded.
No matter who you are, when you are concentrating on something, you are suddenly frightened by this, and your mind does not become blank.
And the means of Xinglin Villa are very yin, if you knock on the gong at the beginning, it is estimated that everyone is mentally prepared, endure the noise, and be able to remember.
But when you knock it again halfway through, everyone is distracted, their hearts are upset, and the previous ones have forgotten to remember again...... It is only a stick of incense for a long time, and the person who can remember this complete prescription is self-evident.
In the No. 6 wooden room, Tang Gu took the prescription in his hand, smiled slightly, and was not affected in the slightest, the moment he saw the gong, he was prepared, so at the first moment of entering the wooden room, he did not go to see the prescription in his hand, but went up to the hearing points on the side of his ears and sealed his hearing with a piece of yuan breath.
Then, casually, simply, generously, he found a chair to sit down, remembered with peace of mind, and when he was halfway through, the gong outside protruded, but it did not have the slightest effect on him.
It wasn't until he was sure that he would not forget it at all that Tang Gu dispersed his breath and regained his ear sense, only to find that the high incense outside had only burned half of it.
He didn't bother to wait, he directly pushed open the wooden door, walked out, and then handed over the Dan Fang, the Mengyue Alchemist looked at him in surprise, but he didn't say anything, after receiving the Dan Fang, he waved his hand to signal him to stand aside, and then waited quietly.
After another while, Shui Xue also walked out, and she was lucky to say it, although she didn't guess the function of the gong, but the Shui family had a "clear heart formula", which was the most able to keep the heart and calm the mind.
At the moment when the gong protruded, she was indeed affected, but then she secretly used the "Pure Heart Formula" to make her mind unstable, and finally reluctantly memorized the entire prescription and walked out.
At the moment when the high incense was burned, one after another, three or four more people came out, some of them were complacent, obviously they also had their own ways, and they were not affected by the gong, but some were depressed, knowing that they could not pass the assessment, it was better to come out in advance, save themselves from the sin again, and leave in disgrace after paying the prescription.
For these people, Meng Yue didn't even glance at them, obviously it was expected, but among the two people who stayed, the blue-clothed rough young man was also in his eyes, which made Tang Gu slightly surprised.
But it's normal to think about it, this person is simple-minded, such a person is the least susceptible to external objects, and he can successfully pass the assessment, but more than half of it is thanks to his well-developed limbs and simple-minded temperament. (To be continued......)
