Inside the flying boat, the students were discussing the matter from before in low voices when the short-haired female soldier walked back. She glanced at everyone, and the voices below immediately stopped.
She gestured, and a few soldiers came over. They placed a large bamboo basket in the middle of the cabin, and two pots were placed on both sides. One of them was filled with black stones, while the other was filled with white stones.
The students were a little confused.
The short-haired female soldier said, "I've already reported the matter of that cultivator's request for help to the Prefect leading this expedition. Because this matter is related to your training, after some consideration, the Prefect has decided to give you the right to choose. Do you see this bamboo basket? If you think you should save him, then throw in a white stone. If you don't, then throw in a black stone.
Let me remind you that you must make a decision as soon as possible because that talisman might not have been sent just now. It might have come from even earlier, and we just happened to run into it. If we delay for too long, he might already be dead before we even get there. "
When she said this, a few students were immediately eager to give it a try. At the same time, they all looked towards the white stones.
However, at this moment, they heard her say, "However, I have to say one more thing. This can't be ruled out as a trap. It's not like we haven't encountered similar situations in the past. If we rush over rashly, it's possible that everyone will be buried together with him. You must carefully consider this carefully."
She pointed at the time dial at the side, and said, "You only have half an hour. After that, I'll come over to verify the result and use it as the standard."
After saying this, she directly turned around and walked out, leaving this place to the students.
The students who were originally prepared to throw in a white stone immediately became hesitant. At the same time, they felt a wave of panic in their hearts. After all, this stone would not only decide the lives of others, it would also decide their own lives.
Should they save him or not?
But what if this was a trap?
Many people's eyes were filled with confusion.
At this moment, Mo Ruohua stood up from her seat. Under everyone's gazes, she walked to the front and directly picked up a black stone from the pot. Without any hesitation, she threw it into the bamboo basket. Then, before everyone could react, she walked back.
Seeing her actions, Xiao Yao also ran over without any hesitation. She also picked up a black stone and threw it into the bamboo basket.
The girl surnamed Ying glanced at the spot where the talisman paper had been burned. She seemed to be deep in thought. Then, she walked over and threw in a black stone.
After she sat back down, she asked Little Yao, "Why did you vote for the black pieces?"
Xiao Yao said matter-of-factly, "Big sister Mo is definitely right.
The girl surnamed Ying rubbed her forehead. She knew it would be like this. But forget it, at least they were of the same opinion.
Their actions were equivalent to a start. Many people made their own choices. Some firmly placed their white pieces, while others did not dare to look at others after placing their black pieces. They lowered their heads and returned to their seats.
However, there were also many people who remained motionless in their seats with their heads lowered. They did not dare to look up at all, as if they were trying to avoid something.
The cultivators were all on the flying boat, and the cabin was filled with a heavy atmosphere.
At this time, a young disciple finally couldn't help but stand up. His fellow disciple next to him pulled on his sleeve, but he was flung away.
He looked at his teacher, then at Zhang Yu. Gritting his teeth, he was about to speak when he saw one of his fellow disciples winking at him and pointing at his own head.
He could not help but be startled.
He was only concerned about saving people, but he was not stupid. He looked at his teachers and fellow disciples who had their eyes lowered, as if they were indifferent to what was happening. He suddenly came to a realization.
He looked at the cultivator surnamed Chang and said, "Teacher, is it …"
The cultivator surnamed Chang glanced at him and said, "You saw through it, but you didn't say it."
The young disciple instantly understood. He revealed a trace of relief and relief. After thinking for a moment, he bowed deeply to Zhang Yu before sitting back down.
Fifteen minutes quickly passed. The bamboo basket in the cabin was moved out by a soldier. All the students anxiously waited for the result.
After a while, two teachers walked in with complicated gazes.
One of the students could not help but ask, "Teacher, are we going to save people? Or … "
One of the teachers sighed and said, "Save what? Can't you tell that this is fake?"
"Fake, fake … it's fake?"
The teacher glared at the students he thought highly of and said resentfully, "You can't even tell such a simple thing? Did I teach you all for nothing?"
"That talisman paper just now, that Daoist has no name, no background, and no destination. Where are you going to save him?"
"Use your brains and think carefully. This is the Sky Soaring Army Ship. Do you think it's so easy for outsiders to enter? If that weapon were here, would you still be sitting here? You would have been finished long ago! "
Immediately, many people revealed looks of shame. In fact, it was not that no one doubted the authenticity of the story, but the cultivator's appearance was too real and too miserable. Even if they had doubts, the tense atmosphere and the female soldier's serious expression made them subconsciously believe that the story was real.
At this moment, the other teacher said, "Regardless of whether it's real or fake, those who surrendered today at least made a choice. However, I noticed that many people are sitting there motionless. Let me tell you, in a dangerous situation in war, don't be afraid of not making a choice. Be afraid of not having a choice!"
At this point, his tone softened slightly, but what he said made the hearts of the students even heavier.
"Each of you will face a choice when you enter the battlefield in the future. Right now, you only have to decide for yourselves and a few people around you. However, one day, you will become the leader of an army. The lives of millions will be in your hands. At that time, how will you choose? Think carefully. "
The short-haired female soldier also walked in at this time. She looked at Mo Ruohua and said, "Mo Ruohua, follow me."
Mo Ruohua immediately stood up and followed her into a small cabin.
The short-haired female soldier stood there and said, "You're the first to make a choice, and I noticed that you didn't hesitate at all. Did you realize something was wrong from the start?"
Mo Ruohua said, "Yes."
The short-haired female soldier stared at her and said, "But what if this is true? If it's true, what will you choose? "
There was actually no correct answer in this test. They also knew that there would inevitably be some intelligent students who would see through the flaws. This was also part of the test. However, she still wanted to know what this female student in front of her would do if this was true.
Mo Ruohua said, "I will still vote against the black piece because we know too little."
"What if you know the situation well enough?" The short-haired female soldier pressed.
Mo Ruohua said without hesitation, "No! Because we have our own mission. "
The short-haired female soldier did not comment. She said, "Okay, you can go back."
Mo Ruohua clasped her fists and turned to leave.
The short-haired female soldier looked at her back and thought for a while. She took a pen and paper and wrote a few words before leaving.
After the results were out, Zhang Yu also received the news that this was just a test for the students. Naturally, he wasn't surprised at all.
However, it was not difficult for him to see through the little tricks of the academy. The person who asked for help was not a soldier of the military, but a cultivator. This was obviously an attempt to raise the military's status and belittle the cultivators.
Although this was not a big deal and was not true, it was enough to plant a certain influence in the students' minds. It was very beneficial to remove the mysterious halo of cultivators in the minds of the students.
He did not have any opinions on this matter. After all, Mizar Academy was a place to send talents to the military. In order to prevent the students' minds from straying, some things had to be done.
Right at this moment, a dazzling light flashed outside the flying boat. Then, an illusory figure passed through the boat and appeared in front of them.
This was a Daoist with a blurry face. He stood with his hands behind his back. Light and shadow could be seen through his body.
"Primordial Spirit Reflection?"
Zhou and Wu's expressions changed. They involuntarily stood up from their seats.
Judging from the other party's appearance, he should be a True Cultivator. Moreover, he was about to cultivate his Primordial Spirit. That was why he was able to use a magic tool to project an illusory reflection in front of them.
The Daoist's illusory figure stood there. He looked at Zhang Yu and the others and said, "Which Daoist sect are you from? I was fighting with a monster in a ruin. Now, I have suppressed it. However, I can't kill it for the time being. In order to prevent any accidents, I need someone to break the deadlock. Come with me."
Zhang Yu looked at him and asked, "Who are you?"
The Daoist did not say his name. He only said with his hands behind his back, "I came from the Lingmiao Mysterious Realm."
Zhang Yu had a thought. He had seen a Daoist book in Xuanfu. It also mentioned the Lingmiao Mysterious Realm. This was a wonderful realm created by a True Cultivator. It was said that most of the True Cultivators in the Qingyang Upper Continent lived in this place.
Seeing that they did not move, the Daoist said to Zhang Yu, "Your Daoist sects have an agreement with our Lingmiao Mysterious Realm. If you encounter an enemy, you must help. Therefore, I ask you to come with me."
Zhang Yu said indifferently, "I'm not from the Daoist sect."
"Not from the Daoist sect?"
The Daoist was puzzled. He looked at Zhou and Chang and asked, "What about you?"
The cultivator surnamed Zhou hesitated for a moment. He and the cultivator surnamed Chang looked at each other. Then, they cupped their hands at Zhang Yu and said, "Headmaster Zhang, our Daoist sects do have an agreement with the Lingmiao Mysterious Realm. Why don't you let us go with this Daoist friend …"
Zhang Yu said calmly, "The agreement between the Daoist sects is a private matter. Protecting the disciples is a public matter. Which is more important, the two of you can decide for yourselves."
Zhou and Chang were caught in a dilemma.
They also knew that it was not appropriate to leave at this time. However, they could not violate the oath of the Daoist sect.
The Daoist said coldly to Zhang Yu, "Since you're not from the Daoist sect, don't get in the way …"
Zhang Yu looked at him and said, "Get out!"
"You …"
The Daoist seemed to want to say something, but suddenly, he was pushed out by a force. Then, he exploded into a ball of light.
