This huge contrast in the old man's emotions brought an unparalleled sense of astonishment to everyone in the team.
Sure enough, habitual thinking kills people.
Looking at the energetic old man above the main hall, Qi Zhen smiled bitterly in her heart.
The old man's appearance matches all the team's fantasies about getting an expert, but the current state he displays is simply a replica of the original version of the old naughty boy Zhou Botong.
A mighty general? What is a mighty general?
Everyone's doubts were answered the moment they saw the things in the old man's hands.
Cricket cage.
Extending their thoughts, everyone in the team heard more hidden meanings from the old man's brief words.
First, the old man called Wu Tian an evil disciple, which sounded like the relationship between master and disciple was not harmonious. But later, this sentence made people feel that it should be taken for granted. Could it be just a term of endearment?
And the reason why the old man told everyone in the team about the mighty general was that this kind of thing must have been done a lot between the master and the disciple.
Most of the members of the team's impression of Wu Tian was that he was a powerful, fair-minded, sleepy, pretentious, serious person with a sense of justice and mission.
But I didn't expect Wu Tian to be a person who likes to play with crickets.
The old man seemed to feel that he was a little out of sorts, so he coughed twice and continued: "Ahem, are the little babies scared by me?"
"Not really, it's just a bit of an accident." Qi Zhen cupped her fists and smiled bitterly. What else could she say?
"Oh, it's really uncomfortable to have to maintain a posture in front of the disciples every day. Don't take it off," the old man said.
How can you play like this? Just because the team is familiar with Wu Tian and it was Wu Tian who came to the mountain, you, the dignified leader, are going to show your heart to us?
Is it because he trusts Wu Tian too much, or is something going on? We haven’t yet accepted the door of Shushan.
Qi Zhen thought in her heart, and her expression became more depressed. The difficulty of this question was that the team was in a state of not knowing and not daring to ask. It seemed that nothing was appropriate at this time.
The dignified leader of Shushan, isn’t this humanistic environment a little off?
But Qi Zhen felt a little relieved when she thought that there might be people like Jiujianxian still existing on this mountain.
Qi Zhen kept saying yes, yes, but in her heart she was thinking about how to continue the conversation.
Well, Qi Zhen is quite good at chatting awkwardly. For example, Shushan has beautiful scenery and pleasant climate, and the disciples of Shushan are brave and diligent in training and so on.
But when the words came to her lips, Qi Zhen swallowed them back.
It wasn't because he thought it was inappropriate to talk like this, but because Li Qiang walked out from the crowd.
He cupped his fists and raised his hands towards the old man, and said, "Master Master, can you show me your mighty general?"
The head of Shushan's eyes lit up, and he said: "Don't be the master of the master, the master of the master, it sounds too serious. My name is Xuan Ye, you can just call me Lao Xuan."
Oops! This old man has the same name as Emperor Kangxi, he is domineering, but what the hell is this old Xuan?
"Don't dare, don't dare. How dare we make mistakes if we are in charge?" Li Qiang waved his hand and said.
"Let's talk about this later. Do you really understand?" Xuan Ye handed the cricket cage forward and said in surprise.
"I understand a little bit." Li Qiang didn't dare to say too much. If the autumn insects in this world were different from the ones in the original world, wouldn't he be showing his cowardice?
"Then show me quickly." Master Xuan Ye quickly walked down from the hall and handed the cricket cage to Li Qiang.
Li Qiang carefully took the stone cricket cage, opened the lid and stared at it for a while, then smiled.
"How is it?" Master Xuan Ye asked expectantly.
The rest of the team were also a little curious. They came forward to form a circle and looked at the cricket in Li Qiang's hand, with puzzled expressions on their faces.
"It's okay..." Li Qiang said with a smile.
It's okay, which means it's not quite good.
Master Xuan Ye heard the implication of Li Qiang's words and his expression changed.
"What?! Isn't it good?!"
"It can't be said that it's not good, it's just that it's not the best." Li Qiang didn't pretend to be profound or forcefully praise it, he just said it openly.
"I, the great general, have defeated all those fellow apprentices. How come it's so mediocre when it comes to your mouth?" Master Xuan Ye glared and quit.
"Don't worry, listen to me slowly." Li Qiang said with a smile.
"Say! Let me see what you can say."
As he spoke, Master Xuan Ye connected his sword fingers with his right hand and nodded at the cricket cage.
Then the cricket in the cage floated into the air in full view of everyone.
The powerful can really do whatever they want.
Everyone in the team couldn't help but think so.
As soon as this skill, which could anger all the scientists in the previous world, came out, several people looked a little dumbfounded.
Qi Zhen's brows furrowed deeply, what exactly is the principle of this thing?
Li Qiang was okay. After showing a hint of surprise on his face, he stepped forward and looked at the cricket in front of him, and slowly introduced him.
"First of all, crickets fight by hitting each other with their heads, so the head is a key part. The bigger the head, the more powerful the fight. As you can see, this one is only slightly bigger than the body, so it is not considered to be the best.
But an outstanding cricket cannot just have a big head, it must also be good-looking. The important thing is that it is tall and round, and the protruding head is a good head, and the eyes must be high. Folk professionals who do this also have head shapes that are divided into "persimmon head", "jewel head", "bodhi head" and "grasshopper head". As the name suggests, you can experience it. "
Li Qiang talked eloquently and was obviously an expert. Everyone who listened was stunned.
"This is a rare bodhi head. The shape of this head is like a bodhi seed, so it can make up for some shortcomings in size."
"Now that we have talked about the size and shape, we have to talk about the color. Those whose head color is blue-gold, purple cherry, or yellow bronze are all top-grade, but they are relatively rare. Those with pure black or pure white are the next best. If they are both green and white, Those with mixed colors in the middle are not good breeds. Your mighty general has a pure black head color and looks just average. But the amazing thing is that there are lines on his forehead, which is more sophisticated. We call it " "Malu" is considered a good type, so it makes up for the shortcomings in color." Li Qiang shook his head, and seemed to think that this cricket was really magical in appearance. It had both advantages and disadvantages, but it was really difficult to judge the advantages and disadvantages.
"One head has so much to say?" Master Xuan Ye looked doubtful, looked at Li Qiang carefully up and down, and said in surprise.
"It depends on whether the body is strong and powerful, the shape of the eyes and tentacles, and the most important thing is the cricket's teeth, whether they are sharp and what their color is. There are different opinions, and sometimes even It depends on whether the cricket is active or not. No matter how good-looking it is, if it turns out to be a chronic one, it will be difficult to fight, so judging your cricket comprehensively, I think it's okay, but it's really not the best." Li Qiang said with a smile.
Everyone in the team looked at Li Qiang who was talking eloquently, and all of them showed their eyes when they saw a monster.
Even Yu Liang and Jiang Yan are no exception.
Something new!
Xuan Ye, the real person, looked at Li Qiang, and the expression on his face gradually became a little frustrated. He waved his hand casually, and the motionless cricket floating in the air slowly flew back to the cage again, making a crisp cry.
"Captain, you have hurt the leader's pride." Yu Liang reminded.
"Hey! It's useless for me to treat it like a treasure. I didn't expect it to be anything unusual after all." Master Xuan Ye sighed, took the cage from Li Qiang's hand, and put it in his arms.
"Your mighty general looks pretty good to a layman, but it's still not enough for an expert," Li Qiang said.
"It's that scoundrel who lied to me and told me that this was a rare and rare product that he had worked so hard to find in the next life. When I see him, I will lock him up in the back mountain and think about it for another three... no! Five years!" Master Ye said angrily.
Okay, let’s play cricket and sell it to Wu Tian.
Everyone in the team found it a bit funny, and it was a bit hard for everyone to endure it.
"Perhaps Master Wu is not very knowledgeable and has been deceived." Li Qiang said quickly.
"When I see him again, I will ask him carefully." Xuan Ye said.
Immediately, the face of the leader of Shushan changed again, and he smiled at Li Qiang and said, "If you go down the mountain in the future, help me look for the kind of top quality you mentioned, how about it?"
Li Qiang smiled and agreed.
"Master, please see that we have come to Shushan..."
Qi Zhen knew that the heat was almost over, so it was time to get down to business.
"Oh oh oh, yes, yes, let's get down to business." Master Xuan Ye slapped his forehead.
Everyone in the team thought that this was a joke, and playing cricket together was the real thing.
"I wonder what tests we need to pass before we can get started?" Qi Zhen asked.
"Are you sure you want to join me at Shushan?" Master Xuan Ye said.
Yu Liangliang said, "Don't you talk nonsense? Why have we been playing with you for so long?"
"Yes." Qi Zhen replied, "Master Wu Xian also told us before that if you want to become a disciple of Shushan, you will go through three tests. We have passed the mountain road, but we don't know what the following two tests are?" Qi Zhen asked.
"I can tell you the third test right now, which is for us, the disciples of this generation, to examine you together to see if your character and mind are in line with Shushan's swordsmanship. Since I have already met you, this step is unnecessary. I'll go talk to those senior brothers and sisters." Master Xuan Ye said.
"As for the second test, it is indeed more complicated. Even I can't help you cheat for personal gain. You can only pass it by yourself. Only after passing this second test will you be recognized by Shushan Sword Sense. Only then can you become a disciple of Shushan."
"Can you reveal the content of this test?" Qi Zhen asked.
Master Xuan Ye's expression suddenly became a little serious, and he said lightly: "Not only can't you say it, but you may also die inside!"
