"Ah! Is this guy going to die?" someone in the audience exclaimed.
But after the initial surprise, everyone saw that Xia Shang's face was solemn, but there was no sign of pain, and his hands were really rummaging in the oil pan.
Seeing that the fire below is burning more and more fiercely, and the oil in the pan is boiling more and more fiercely, doesn't it hurt at all?
The pain is indeed a little painful, but it is just the pain caused by the gradually rising oil temperature. At this moment, the oil temperature is estimated to be only 60 or 70 degrees. It is definitely hot to the touch, but it is far from as scary as it seems.
However, as the fire becomes more intense, the oil temperature rises faster and faster.
After a long time, this oil pan will not be so comfortable.
Fortunately, Xia Shang had quick eyesight and quick hands, so it was not difficult to find a copper coin in the oil pan. Within ten seconds, Xia Shang withdrew his hand from the oil pan again, and his whole arm soaked in oil was a little red.
, nothing unusual could be seen. And the copper coin in his hand also shone brightly.
Several young people around him were speechless when they saw it.
Among the few people, Chi Chan was dissatisfied and quickly stepped forward: "Senior, let me try this time."
The veteran twirled his beard and said calmly: "No need to try again, all of you have lost the opportunity."
Chi Chan frowned: "Why?"
"You are also considered to be the best among the major forces in the world today. If I let you get injured or die, it will inevitably cause you a lot of trouble. Therefore, there is no need for the rest of you to try this round."
"Senior, this time it's a matter of life and death! It has nothing to do with senior!" Chi Chan lowered his voice, his eyes burning.
But his persistence did not attract the favor of the veteran, but instead he was a little disdainful: "I have said that this time the test is about courage. The so-called courage is not as simple as being brave, it requires courage and knowledge. You and other people can only see
The boiling oil was boiling in the pot, but I didn't notice that the pot had just been set up, the fire had just been raised, and the oil had just been poured. In such a short period of time, such a large pot of oil would burn all the oil.
Is it possible to roll over? And you are all the proud sons of heaven, how dare you joke with your names? This pot of oil is not hot at all. Your hesitation is not because you are not brave enough, but because you are not courageous enough!"
"This pot of oil isn't hot? But obviously..." Xiang Tiange didn't believe it. He walked forward questioningly and was about to reach out to touch it, but Xia Shang grabbed it.
"Brothers around, it's best not to try it. This oil pan is a real oil pan now."
"What's the meaning?"
Xia Shang replied: "Because there is not only oil in the oil pan, but also vinegar. The boiling point of vinegar is lower than that of oil. The steam boiling in the oil pan you saw earlier is actually the vinegar in the oil pan boiling. Those strong
The smoke is not oil smoke, but vinegar is evaporating. Vinegar evaporates very quickly when heated. Now the oil smoke in the oil pan is lighter, which proves that the vinegar in the oil pan has dried up. The current boiling is really boiling oil. Brother, reach out like this
If you go in, those who are not protected will be injured."
Xiang Tiange didn't quite understand, but was frightened by Xia Shang's serious look. He quickly took back his hand, cupped his fists and said thank you to Xia Shang.
Few people could understand Xia Shang's explanation, but those who planned it heard it clearly.
The veteran only knew that adding vinegar to oil would cause a "false boiling" phenomenon, but did not know the principle. He thought that the reason why Xia Shang dared to reach out was due to various doubts when observing the layout of this question. But he did not expect that he knew what was going on in the oil pan.
The secret. What's even more unexpected is that he can actually explain the reason. No matter whether his explanation is correct or not, it always surprises people.
Starting from the first test today, this young man named Xia Chunqiu surprised everyone in every possible way.
First he cracked the Zhenlong chess game, and then he evaded the attack of the veteran. Now he has extraordinary insights. It seems that every one of them proves that this kid is the one sent by God to save the hero.
However, when everything becomes perfect, the veteran feels a little unreal.
The identity of Xia Chunqiu is mysterious, and I don’t know where she came from. Although the recommender, Nangong Chuxin, is a descendant of the founder of Hero Village, she has something to do with the imperial court after all. She appeared very suddenly. I wonder what is going on?
After thinking about it, the old Taoist always wants to find a reliable and trustworthy person for Hero Village.
He knew that his time was short, and he did not want the place where he had spent his whole life to become history with his death.
"senior……"
Seeing that the old Taoist was lost in thought, Ye Xiaoyun asked in a low voice.
The old Taoist came back from his daze, rubbed his forehead, and glanced at everyone: "This is the end of the third question. There will be no more tests next."
"ah?"
Everyone was surprised. They didn't expect the test to be so short.
It also means that they have no chance.
After these three tests, it is obvious to all who performs best.
This ending is somewhat unpleasant, a little-known boy actually outperformed everyone!
However, just when everyone thought there was no chance, the old Taoist voice changed: "The previous test was just to rank a few. As the owner of the Hero Village, it is difficult for him to be competent if he does not have abilities beyond ordinary people. From now on, everyone will
A young student can show off his best skills in front of me. If he can impress me, he can become the master of Hero Manor."
Show off special skills?
Several people were surprised and didn't know what to say.
The old Taoist explained: "The so-called stunt is to do something that others cannot do. Whether it is martial arts, calligraphy and painting, or pen and ink, etc., the first person started from Xia Chunqiu."
After saying that, the old Taoist turned his attention to Xia Shang: "Xia Chunqiu."
Xia Shang hurriedly stepped forward: "Here."
"Do you have any special skills? If you don't have any, it will be deemed as an automatic forfeit."
Xia Shang was stunned, thinking that he knew a lot, but what could be considered a unique skill?
For a moment, Xia Shang didn't know how to answer.
No one expected that such a situation would occur. Seeing Xia Shang's silence, Nangong Chuxin also became worried. He felt that the scorching sun above his head was a bit dry, not counting the wiping of his forehead.
"Xia Chunqiu, have you made up your mind?" the old Taoist asked again.
The onlookers were all happy, thinking that this boy just had better luck. Now is the time to see his true ability, so naturally they couldn't hide it.
However, Xia Shang thought about it and said decisively: "Juniors can try offering sacrifices to the sky to pray for rain."
"What?"
"Sacrifice to the sky and pray for rain!"
"Please rain?!"
"Exactly!"
Upon hearing what Xia Shang said, everyone in the venue was shocked: "Ouch!"
The old Taoist frowned: "Are you sure you want to show your wish for rain?"
"Sure."
"This is no child's play. What if I can't pray for rain?"
"This is not a life-and-death bet. If rain does not come, I will quit automatically."
"Okay, I want to see what kind of ghost power you have! Please!"
After the old Taoist said this, Xia Shang was not in a hurry. He looked at the sky first and said calmly: "Qiu Yuxude needs to write magical instruments, and the venue must also be arranged."
"If you have any requests, just ask, I'll get someone ready as soon as possible." (To be continued)
