Chapter 547: Tears of the Stone Statue
The sound of rain pattered.
Inside the thatched cottage, the light was dim.
Wu Xian opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was a stone statue in a black robe. The appearance of the stone statue was very similar to the Earth God, the biggest difference being that there were two traces etched by water droplets under the eyes of the stone statue in front of him.
He passed the minor exam and returned to the thatched cottage. At this time, he was sitting cross-legged on a cushion, as if the village, tunnel, canyon, etc., he had just seen were all just an illusory dream.
But the leather backpack on his shoulder and the Malevolent Incense in his hand proved that everything Wu Xian experienced in the minor exam had actually happened.
To Wu Xian's left, there were some other people sitting on cushions.
These people all had their eyes closed, some were twitching, some were sweating profusely with terrified expressions; they should all be undergoing the minor exam as well.
Wu Xian looked up and asked the stone statue: "Do you want to pass some information to us through this minor exam?"
The stone statue did not respond.
"That's right, you are just a stone statue, stone statues can't answer questions. It was me who tried to communicate with you who was wrong."
Wu Xian lifted the tattered curtain, preparing to leave the examination room and return to the dormitory, when he suddenly found raindrops hitting his face.
Pitter-patter...
Dense raindrops suddenly hit the thatched cottage, making a pitter-patter sound. The thatch on the roof wasn't very tight, and it began to leak raindrops.
Wu Xian stood at the door, turned his head in astonishment, and saw two lines of raindrops falling on the stone statue's cheeks on the roof.
It was as if this stone statue was crying! "I think, I seem to understand a little bit."
After saying this, Wu Xian walked out of the thatched cottage. Before he participated in the minor exam, it was drizzling outside, and only the area around the thatched cottage was dry.
But now the rain outside was as fine as cow hair, while around the thatched cottage, it was like a waterfall, and even the pair of paper dolls, the Golden Boy and Jade Girl, were soaked by the rain!
Wu Xian returned directly to the dormitory.
Today's minor exam had no student union members participating, so the number of divine statues in the training center was too small, making it half the effort to find them. Coupled with the pile of things Wu Xian brought out from the minor exam, he thought for a moment and didn't waste time outside.
When Wu Xian climbed to the ninth floor, he found the atmosphere here solemn, as if a quarrel had just occurred.
Wu Xian put down the leather bag.
Looking around, the old man Hai Weijiang took the initiative to tell Wu Xian what had just happened.
The matter was actually very simple.
Several newcomers were so hungry that they couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to go out together to find food, but the only place with food in the training center was the canteen, so they wanted to seek help from the Lotus Juanren.
When they begged Ma San, the newcomers were mercilessly mocked, and the pressure they had accumulated finally erupted, leading to a war of words.
Wu Xian smiled after hearing this and took out four large flatbreads that could serve as pot lids from his leather backpack.
As for the two cans of meat, Wu Xian kept them for himself.
Don't look at the fact that there were only four flatbreads, but these were military rations, very heavy and hard. If you took some water in the bathroom to soak them soft, each person could eat a small piece and be half full.
After having food in their stomachs, both the newcomers and the Lotus Juanren felt better.
Then Wu Xian distributed the bayonets he had obtained to everyone.
Adhering to the principle of taking everything if you were going to take it, Wu Xian had more than twenty bayonets in his leather backpack, and even after giving one to everyone, he still had five left in his hand.
After getting these bayonets, everyone, including the Lotus Juanren, was very satisfied. These bayonets might have limited threat to malevolent entities on their own, but when combined with the ability to worship gods, they might be able to play a significant role.
The newcomers got the bayonets and felt they had the ability to protect themselves. Their moods all became much smoother, the atmosphere on the ninth floor became harmonious again, and everyone chatted and laughed, as if they had forgotten the previous quarrel. After Ma San ate, his complexion became a little better. He hooked his fingers at Wu Xian, signaling the two to talk aside.
"You should know that even if you give them food, the probability of them surviving is still not high."
Wu Xian raised an eyebrow: "Why do you say that?"
Ma San said coldly:
"Those who caused trouble today are also the ones who have performed the worst in the past few days."
"They must have chosen the 'Fake Door Exam' in the assessment, but you should know that the content of the True Door and Fake Door is the same. With their skills, can they pass three minor exams without dying once?"
"They are eager to go out to find food because they probably didn't pass the minor exam to get credits, and they can't go to the canteen to eat in the future, so they are so worried about the food problem!"
"Even if you feed them today, they will die tomorrow or the day after. Feeding them this food is simply a waste!"
Wu Xian looked at him with slight surprise: "Is that what you think?"
Ma San frowned and asked back: "Is there anything wrong with me thinking this way?"
"No, it's correct to think this way." Wu Xian waved his hand and turned to leave, "But it's my freedom to decide how to handle the flatbreads I found myself."
After moving a little further away from Ma San, Wu Xian walked to the window and looked out with his chin in his hand.
Regarding Ma San, Wu Xian was very conflicted inside.
Ever since Wen Tinghua came to Wu Xian on the first day and said that someone had instructed her to tell him to "handle it yourself," Wu Xian had been observing Ma San.
Before entering this Fudi.
Wu Xian had encountered a Niuren attack, and in that attack, there was only one native left in a certain Fudi, and the reason that Fudi became hopeless was because a certain Lotus Juanren took away the most important "Immortal Talisman" in that Fudi.
The "Yu Rang" of the Creed experienced that event with Wu Xian, and I'm afraid that after that, Yu Rang went to find that person.
But he didn't know how to deal with this person.
So he managed to force this person to Wu Xian's side, who was preparing to participate in the Fudi, and used some means to force this person to participate in the Fudi.
Later, Yu Rang passed information to Wu Xian through another Lotus Juanren, Wen Tinghua, with the purpose of letting Wu Xian judge whether this person should die or live based on their performance in the Fudi!
This was what Wu Xian thought of after hearing Wen Tinghua say "You handle it."
The Lotus Juanren who took the Immortal Talisman should be Ma San and his wife, because only the two of them entered this Fudi inexplicably.
Wu Xian sighed long: "Hey, this hateful old thing, if you can't figure it out, you can't figure it out, why pass the pressure to me?"
He stood at the window for a while and heard someone coming upstairs. After waiting for a while, he saw that this person was the white-haired native Xue Chenghe who had come to seek cooperation with them yesterday.
The Lotus Juanren and newcomers gathered again.
Xue Chenghe got straight to the point: "I have found what you wanted, and I spent a lot of effort for this, so I also need some rewards."
Wu Xian smiled and handed over a bayonet.
"For malevolent entities, using fierce weapons, filthy weapons, and iron weapons to attack all have certain effects. If I find a way to leave the training center safely, I will definitely tell you."
Other Lotus Juanren also had their own expressions, such as Wen Tinghua giving him a flower that would wither when encountering malevolent entities, and Su Mi informing him of several dangerous locations in the training center...
These things were not very important, but they were helpful for Xue Chenghe's survival.
Xue Chenghe kept his promise after hearing this.
"Downstairs, I found eight dormitories where everyone died, these dormitories are 402, 503, 209..."
