Lin Haoming spent only one breath on each candle, so he made such a choice to give himself some time to think.
During this competition, Lin Haoming had already paid attention to all possible situations when the candlestick was moved out, including the maid who carried the candlesticks and the order of delivery. However, it is obvious that the tricks used in the first round will not be used again in the second round. In other words, the previous experience is useless now. It is rare that it really depends on the impression of these candles to choose?
Lin Haoming believed that as the person who arranged this bet, he would definitely have some thoughts that normal people would never have imagined. Thinking of this, he couldn't help looking at the most ordinary red candle, and finally chose this one without thinking completely.
After choosing, Lin Haoming returned to his position and looked at the candles again. He still couldn't imagine how to judge the length of burning these candles in a short time.
The three people behind Lin Haoming chose the black candle, beige candle and bloody candle respectively. Of course, the last one had no choice at all.
Just after everyone had chosen, Mrs. Jin walked up again with a smile. She did not speak, but patted her hands. Lao Hei, who was randomly beside her, said to the maids: "Cover the Night Pearl!"
When the maids heard Lao Hei's orders, they immediately sacrificed black cloths to cover up the night pearls that illuminated the heavenly palace.
At this time, everyone realized that it was already evening. It was quite interesting to see the eight candles lit in the night.
Lin Haoming looked at the dark night outside at this moment, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Friends of the Taoist, in order not to waste time, I will light eight candles at the same time later. According to the rules, I will not look at which candle burns the longest, but only look at whose candle is lit for a long time."
Mrs. Jin spoke again and said the rules. After saying that, everyone present also calmed down. At this moment, Tianyuntang was silent. The darkness outside had the same effect, and they all seemed particularly quiet. But just in this moment, Mrs. Jin suddenly popped up eight fingers with both hands at the same time, and accompanied by eight flames that shone almost at the same time, the eight candles were lit in an instant.
"The color of this candle itself is different. After it is lit, it is indeed colorful. The most dazzling one is the bloody candle. From the beginning of ignition, only a bloody light shines, and then it is exhausted.
Seeing this scene, the man who chose the blood candle couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Aside from him, the monk who chose the oil-black candle shook his head at this moment. Although his candle was not exhausted at once, it was like a firework, emitting dazzling light, but it only lasted less than the blood-colored candle for less than ten breaths and was extinguished.
Although the remaining candles are not as dazzling as these two, most of them are unique. The one that An Lei chose is three feet tall after the flame is burned, which is like a torch. Fortunately, her candle is really thick enough and can indeed burn for a long time. In addition, the opponent has disappeared in just a blink of an eye, and it can be considered a successful victory.
Qiao Weiying also won the same victory. The candle he chose was not very flamed, but it was particularly cold. It was obviously a kind of cold flame. The cold flame candle was consumed very quickly, and it had already burned for one or two dozen at this moment.
The long candle of the bearded monk, and the flames were like a lotus, which looked quite like a Buddhist item. Although the beige candle of his opponent seemed to be able to burn for a while, it was still a bit worse than his, and there was no problem that he won.
Finally, Lin Haoming looked at his candle. A little flame burned quietly, occasionally jumping a few times, and then returned to calm. This was clearly the most ordinary candle, but it seemed to be the most lasting candle. As his opponent, the tiny green candle chosen by Yang Bei gave people a gloomy and terrifying feeling. The beating flames sometimes turned into a faint green skeleton and then disappeared.
To put it in detail, this candle is quite resistant to burning. Among these strange candles, the second only to Anlei, but no one can last for half an hour, and Lin Haoming, the most ordinary candle, can burn for at least half an hour.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, congratulations!" Yang Bei looked at it for a while and knew that he must have lost, so he was quite generous in congratulations.
Lin Haoming bowed to him and said, "It's just luck!"
Although Lin Haoming said this, he knew that he did not rely solely on luck. When he made a choice, he once felt the ingenuity of the person who set the question behind him.
In the past game as an example, this person who took the bet liked to be surprised, and this game can actually be said in this way.
Lin Haoming estimated that the eight people present would pay attention to the most ordinary candle, but most people think that the seemingly ordinary candle may actually be very different. After all, the reason why people who took this gambling game limited the ten breaths was to not judge the real situation of the candle for everyone. And even if it was really an ordinary candle, the people present would not subconsciously think that the most ordinary candle was the one that was lit for the longest time. After all, there are many candles in the world of cultivation, for a few months, or even decades, so this inertial thinking made at least the first few people not take the risk of choosing this one.
In fact, neither An Lei, the bearded monk nor Qiao Weiying considered it. Yang Bei was obviously influenced by Qiao Weiying. It is estimated that Qiao Weiying probably saw the material of the candle, so he chose that one.
If Lin Haoming himself did not choose the most ordinary candle, no one could compare to Yang Bei after that, because of this, Lin Haoming decided to choose this seemingly risky candle based on the thoughts of the person who guessed the question in the first game.
"Fellow Daoist Chu is really not easy!" Qiao Weiying came over to congratulate him at this time.
Lin Haoming just smiled and explained in a modest way: "I originally wanted to choose the black candle, but later I saw that the candle material was so I could only choose one at the end. Unexpectedly... Luck, really luck!"
"No matter whether it is true luck or not, the four fellow Taoists have entered the next round, and this next round is the last round!" Perhaps after hearing Lin Haoming's words, Mrs. Jin entered and spoke along Lin Haoming's words.
