"The eight fellow Taoists present are entering the next round of competition. You can rest for a while. We will take out the items for the next round of competition!" At this time, Mrs. Jin came out again to preside over the gambling game.
The other losers left the central area one after another after Mrs. Jin finished speaking. Only the eight advanced people were left to sit on the chairs specially brought by a few maids.
Lin Haoming didn't pay attention before, but now she realized that An Lei had really misunderstood her and actually sat farther away from her on purpose.
Lin Haoming naturally didn't care about this, and it really only lasted a moment. Under Mrs. Jin's urging, the items for the next round of competition had already been brought up.
What was brought up this time was a bit surprising, because it turned out to be eight almost identical candlesticks, and each of these eight candlesticks had candles inserted on them. However, these candles were not exactly the same like the candlesticks.
, but are of different lengths, different thicknesses, and different colors.
The most touching and interesting thing about this gambling game in Tianyuntang is that every time the game is played, there are new tricks. At this moment, Lin Haoming just noticed the curious voices of the people watching around him and knew that this time it was probably a new gambling method.
With the candlesticks put in place, Mrs. Jin walked out again with a smile, and said to the eight people who were in the advanced round: "Eight fellow Taoists, this is the project for our second round of competition this time. Here are
There are eight candlesticks. The candlesticks are all the same. The difference is the candles inserted on them. The rules of this competition are slightly different from the previous ones. We will compete in pairs. According to the order in which you advanced in the previous round, everyone has
Come and choose the candles at the ten interest time, and after the selection, we will follow this order. Compared with the first chosen and the last chosen, whose candle burns longer, the second chosen and the seventh chosen
The selected competition, the third and sixth, the fourth and fifth, the winner of the duel will get the opportunity to advance to the next round."
Benefits. At this time, Lin Haoming finally understood what benefits were, which were the benefits of selecting candles in the next round.
Lin Haoming couldn't help but look at An Lei. The first person to choose the right person obviously has a huge advantage. Even if he can't choose the candle that can burn the longest in ten breaths, he will definitely not choose the worst one.
, and I am the fifth one in order. If the first four choices are the ones with the longest length, I will lose the game. Even if it is not the case, if Yang Bei chooses to burn time when playing against me
The longest one is obviously a sure winner.
Thinking of this, Lin Haoming couldn't help but look at Yang Bei who was in front of him. Yang Bei was quite relaxed and smiled slightly at Lin Haoming and said: "I didn't expect you and I to meet each other. As an alchemist, Fellow Daoist Chu,
I think Yang will probably be defeated!"
Lin Haoming would not really think that this bet was particularly successful, and said with the same polite smile: "Fellow Daoist Yang has a high level of cultivation and is well-informed, and Chu can't compare to him."
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, but everyone knew it was just a small talk. At this time, An Lei, who was the first to advance from the first round, had already gone to make a selection.
The reason why those eight candles were placed on the same candlestick and taken out was entirely because the candlestick itself was designed with a small restriction. Apart from the appearance of the candles, nothing could be explored, and even the smell was not known.
Only by walking inside the Candlestick Restriction can you take a closer look.
In ten breaths of time, in fact, you can only go through it briefly, and you cannot observe it carefully at all. This also leaves an opportunity for the next four monks to choose. After all, if you really give the people present enough time to distinguish carefully,
Anyone can pick the best.
An Lei almost stayed in front of each candlestick for a breath, then walked to the next one. After walking through it, she did not hesitate at all, returned to one of the black candles and selected this candlestick. According to the rules, she directly
Put her jade sign on it.
Lin Haoming took a closer look at this black candle. It was the thickest of all the candles. Although it was not the longest, judging by common sense, it must have burned the longest.
However, Lin Haoming believed that An Lei's choice should not be the most durable one. After all, after learning about the methods of the person who set up these gambling games, Lin Haoming felt that this person would never do it so obviously. But again, An Lei chose this one.
The candle cannot burn the fastest. Compared to the last person chosen by her opponent, her winning rate is still extremely high.
Next, it was the turn of another monk with a beard to go out and make a choice. This person was lucky enough to make the right choice, but he was quite calm at the moment. He quickly browsed around the remaining seven candlesticks and chose the red one.
The longest candle.
Seeing his choice, Lin Haoming obviously understood his intention. Even if this candle was not able to burn the longest, it certainly would not be the shortest. And facing the person who was only the second to last choice, he naturally had a big advantage.
.
The first two looked natural. It was Qiao Weiying's turn. He walked up and selected among the remaining six candles.
Because there were two missing candles, he stayed in front of each candle a little longer, and he especially stayed in front of one of the shortest green candles for three breaths, but in the end he had no choice but to
I chose a candle that was relatively ordinary in shape but as white as jade in color.
After making his choice, he smiled slightly at Yang Bei. Yang Bei also nodded and smiled, and then walked towards the candlestick. I don't know if it was because of Qiao Weiying, but Yang Bei also stayed in front of the short candle for three breaths.
for a long time, and finally chose this candle.
Seeing this, Lin Haoming couldn't help but frown slightly, because he was somewhat suspicious mentally as to whether this candle would actually be the best one, but since Yang Bei had chosen to go, he had no choice.
When Yang Bei came back, Lin Haoming looked at the remaining four candles and walked towards the one he had chosen early in the morning.
The first one was a beige candle, of average length and thickness. But when he walked into the forbidden area, Lin Haoming smelled a faint fragrance and didn't know what it was made of.
The second one was the most common red candle. After Lin Haoming walked in, he even suspected that this candle was used by ordinary people, but the time was too short and he had no time to identify it.
The third stick is blood red and also has the smell of blood, which gives people a bad feeling, but considering the burning time, this evil thing may last for a long time.
The last one was also a candle that Lin Haoming paid special attention to after Yang Bei chose it. This candle was all oily black. Lin Haoming subconsciously thought that it might be refined from petroleum, but when he walked in, he smelled a sour smell.
, knowing that it is definitely not refined from petroleum, so it would be hard for me to choose this one. (To be continued.)
