"So, in this case, we subconsciously think that the statue here is the smiling statue."
"In this case, in this first level of painting, you say...how can we not have problems?"
"And once we draw what we think is the most reasonable image of a smiling god, how can they not pay attention to us?"
Tianji finally understood.
She couldn't help but say: "These people are really cunning."
“It’s really hard to guard against, and I was almost deceived by them.”
If it weren't for Qin Wenyuan, he would have seen through their scheme immediately.
Tianji might really have to paint a smiling statue, but in that case, it would be really bad."
Qin Wenyuan said: "It's good if you understand, lest you still think that I lied to you."
"Draw it, remember, it doesn't have to look like it, but you must make a sad expression and suppress the corners of your mouth. If you smile, be careful that you will be stared at."
Tianji pouted and said, "Do you still need to remind me?"
Soon, the two of them started drawing.
Both of their painting skills are very strong, and both of them have very strong memories. They are both geniuses with a photographic memory, but they did not show off their painting skills this time.
After all, Qin Wenyuan has already said that this time they will be mediocre, not outstanding, and keep a low profile.
Just like that, a stick of incense finally passed, and this cunning first level was over.
"Boom!"
With the sound of a gong, the first level officially ended.
The Taoist said loudly: "When the time is up, put down your pen and wait for our review. Those who pass the review can enter the Beidou Tower and the test will officially begin!"
As soon as the voice fell, some Taoists came over one after another and took away the papers with their names written on them.
Qin Wenyuan glanced at the paper Tianji had taken away and almost laughed out loud.
When I saw what Tianji had painted, it looked like a monster.
His head is extremely big and his body is extremely small. The expression on his face is very gentle, but he reluctantly lowers the corners of his mouth, and tears are flowing down.
It gives people a look of being forced to cry.
Fake crying, no doubt!
"High, really high!"
Qin Wenyuan secretly gave Tianji a thumbs up.
Tianji's face was a little red. She also felt that what she painted was too weird and awkward, but she really couldn't draw sad faces.
Because there is no sadness in her memory.
"Hmph, it's fine if you can hide it anyway. What's the use of painting so well."
Tianji hummed.
Qin Wenyuan smiled and said: "Yes, as long as you can pass, it doesn't have to be too good. Don't worry, I won't laugh at you, and I won't write it in my memoirs, and I won't spread it to others thousands of years later.
Your descendants will laugh at you."
Tianji: "..."
There is no three hundred taels of silver here.
She suddenly felt a little panicked.
"You keep talking about me, how is your painting?"
Tianji asked.
Qin Wenyuan was not embarrassed at all. He showed his paintings in front of Tianji openly and openly.
Tianji was autistic at first sight.
Qin Wenyuan's painting skills are indeed not very good.
There is a huge difference from the original appearance of the statue.
But this painting has some of the original characteristics of the statue of a god, making it easy for people to know that it is a statue of a god at a glance.
And although she looks sad at the beginning, it does not give people a feeling of heartache. Instead, it makes people feel that she is showing compassion for others, rather than being sad because of some trivial matters of her own. This is a completely broad-minded and generous feeling.
.
Because there aren’t that many painters, it won’t be too dazzling.
But the details are handled very well, and at first glance, you can really feel that... this is what a devout believer has in his heart.
No need to talk about others.
Even Tianji, who knew that Qin Wenyuan didn't believe anything, would feel that Qin Wenyuan was an extremely devout believer when he saw this painting.
Comparing Qin Wenyuan's paintings with his own paintings, he suddenly had the urge to find a hole in the ground and crawl into it.
"...You, you really don't believe in Beidou Empress?"
Tianji couldn't help but said.
This painting actually looks too pious.
Qin Wenyuan laughed and said, "Do you think I will believe this?"
Tianji was silent.
She knew that Qin Wenyuan would never believe this. Qin Wenyuan would only believe in himself.
But Qin Wenyuan's ability to deceive people is too strong. The more he knows about Qin Wenyuan, the more he feels frightened towards Qin Wenyuan. Qin Wenyuan... If he wants to deceive someone, he can't tell the truth at all.
The portrait was handed over quickly.
The Taoists carried the portraits to the Beidou Tower.
I don’t know who it was given to look at.
Tianji looked at Qin Wenyuan and said, "Who do you think... these portraits were given to?"
Qin Wenyuan chuckled and said, "Isn't this really worth guessing?"
"It's either Xin Yuheng or Beichen...or Beichen's puppet."
"Anyway, whoever planned this test will be the one to cross paths with."
Tianji said: "They want to find us, so they have the first level of this portrait. But if everyone is a sad statue, will we be directly excluded?"
Qin Wenyuan narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't worry, it won't happen."
"Why?"
"Unless they extremely believe that someone is okay, otherwise, they will never misplace anyone."
"And this is just the first level. There are four more levels to follow. That level is enough for them to judge from all aspects."
"They don't need to take such big risks at the first level."
Tianji nodded thoughtfully.
At this moment, a Taoist priest walked out of the Beidou Tower. He said loudly: "The temple owner has already seen your portraits. The temple owner said that you are all the most devout believers in Beidou Empress. You can see Beidou in the portraits."
The image of the empress in everyone’s hearts, so the viewer has decided that everyone can pass the first level and enter the Beidou Tower!”
Tianji's eyes flashed and she looked directly at Qin Wenyuan.
Qin Wenyuan shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "What did I say?"
Qin Wenyuan is not worried at all whether he can pass the first level smoothly.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! If you had not seen through their trick and drawn a smiling statue, you might have been locked up.
In this case, Beichen or Xin Yuheng's purpose is to lure themselves into the Beidou Tower, so naturally they will not exclude themselves.
So I can definitely pass it successfully.
And if he sees through their trick and his portrait is the same as everyone else's, then Beichen and Xin Yuheng will naturally have no way of finding him.
So in order not to miss themselves, they can only allow everyone to pass.
Only in this way can they allow themselves to enter the Beidou Tower instead of being excluded by them.
Therefore, Qin Wenyuan had expected this result from the beginning, so there was no surprise.
But everyone else was very surprised, with excitement on their faces.
Crunch--
At this time, the closed door of the Beidou Tower in front was opened.
The Taoist stepped aside and said: "Enter the tower!"
Everyone immediately filed in.
Qin Wenyuan smiled and said: "Let's go, the real test has just begun."
Tianji took a deep breath and followed Qin Wenyuan into the Beidou Tower.
Not long after, everyone arrived at the first floor of Beidou Tower.
The Beidou Tower is very spacious. Even if there are more than 200 people standing there, it does not seem crowded at all. Instead, it looks very spacious.
As soon as the believers entered the first floor, they saw the sad statue directly in front of them.
They quickly saluted and prayed to the sad statue.
Qin Wenyuan and Tianji also pretended to imitate.
"Congratulations, you have passed the first level of the test and truly have the opportunity to participate in the trial!"
At this time, a voice slowly sounded.
Everyone looked around and saw an old man wearing a sun and moon Taoist robe speaking to them in a lively manner.
As soon as they saw this person, some believers excitedly said: "It's the temple master!"
"I didn't expect the temple master to personally preside over the trial."
"I am so lucky to meet the owner of the temple."
The believers were very excited.
Qin Wenyuan's eyes also flashed.
Viewer?
Apart from the Star Master, this is the highest authority in Beidou Temple.
Qin Wenyuan had not met the owner of Beidou Temple in Taihe City before. Unexpectedly, he met the owner of Beidou Temple in Dali City instead.
The spectator listened to the excited voices of the crowd and did not urge them. He looked at the crowd calmly and looked very gentle.
It really gives people a sense of enlightenment.
Qin Wenyuan couldn't help but said: "If nothing else, the camouflage ability of this Beidou Temple is still very strong. Even I think this temple master is an expert."
Tianji complained: "You are not bad at all, even I think you are an extremely devout believer."
Qin Wenyuan blinked: "Are you praising me?"
Tianji rolled her eyes and didn't want to talk to Qin Wenyuan.
Qin Wenyuan almost laughed.
Fortunately, he found that the place was not suitable for laughing, otherwise he would have laughed for a long time.
Tianji knew that Qin Wenyuan would definitely do this. She curled her lips and said, "Why don't you laugh to death?"
Qin Wenyuan was even happier.
The visitor stood in front, waiting for the crowd's voices to slowly slow down and finally disappear completely, before he slowly spoke and said, "Then, the second level of the test will begin."
Everyone quickly looked at him seriously, and they all listened very seriously to the requirements of the second level.
Qin Wenyuan and Tianji also became serious.
…………
The first level was full of tricks.
What about this second level?
They must be careful enough to listen carefully so as not to miss any important information.
The spectator looked at the crowd and finally said: "The reason why Empress Beidou has become our belief is because Empress Beidou has done countless kind things. Her kindness moved the demons and gods of heaven and earth, so Empress Beidou finally ascended to become a god.
.”
"So, for you, which deed of Empress Beidou moved you the most, and it is precisely because of this deed that you believe in Empress Beidou?"
"So...this second level is to test your understanding of Beidou Empress' deeds and your original intention to believe in Beidou Empress. Why!"
"Time is still the time of a stick of incense. Now...you can write down what you know best and the deeds that lead you to believe in Beidou Empress."
"Deeds don't matter, big or small, sincerity is the most important, so let's get started."
Boom!
The gong rang and the second level began.
As the gong rang again, everyone lowered their heads, picked up their brushes, and began to think about how to write.
Tianji also lowered her head, but she did not write immediately. Instead, she looked at Qin Wenyuan and whispered: "Is there any trap in this level?"
Qin Wenyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was also thinking about the purpose of this level.
He thought for a while and suddenly said: "What do you know about Empress Beidou's deeds?"
"this……"
Tianji shook his head: "I don't know any of them. I haven't read those mysterious books. I don't know how they compiled them."
Qin Wenyuan nodded: "That's it!"
"this?"
Tianji was startled.
Qin Wenyuan said: "This level is different from the first level."
"The first level is to test whether we are from Taihe City."
"And this test will test whether we are true believers."
"After all, as you said, you have never read those mysterious books and know nothing about Beidou Empress' deeds, so you can't write it at all."
"If you write it, it's just nonsense. People can spot it at a glance. In this case, it's obvious that there's something wrong with you."
Tianji was thoughtful.
But after thinking about it, she added: "Since they really hate whether we are true believers, then why don't they directly test our scriptures? Isn't it simpler?"
Qin Wenyuan smiled: "What do you think a believer is?"
"Whoever stipulates that believers believe in a god must memorize all its teachings."
"Believers are not Taoist priests of Beidou Temple. When they have nothing to do, they come to pay homage, donate some incense money, and then pray for some blessings... This is what normal believers would do."
"So, if you ask believers to write scriptures silently, believe it or not, unless they are the most fanatical believers, other believers will write messy things for you. In that case, you will not be able to judge anything."
"But what about the deeds?"
Qin Wenyuan said: "The deeds are not as good as the scriptures, where one word cannot be wrong. As long as the deeds can be described, then it is fine."
"In this case, the requirements will be much smaller, and non-believers can also be excluded. This is the most suitable question to use as a checkpoint."
He looked at Tianji and said with a smile: "I think more comprehensively than you."
Tianji knew that she was despised by Qin Wenyuan again.
However, she agreed with Qin Wenyuan's words.
Indeed, as Qin Wenyuan said, non-believers, just like her, have no idea how Beidou Temple fabricated the mysterious deeds of the Beidou Empress.
"What should we do?"
Tianji whispered: "We don't know the story of Beidou Empress."
Qin Wenyuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said with a smile: "Don't say that we...it's you. You don't know the deeds of Beidou Empress. How could I, a devout believer like me, not know about it?"
Tianji was stunned: "You know?"
"What do you think?"
Qin Wenyuan naturally knew.
He was on the second floor of the library in Taihe City, but he secretly took away a book about the Legend of Beidou Empress...
In that book, many legends about the Beidou Empress were introduced.
