There is no one who has been a veteran of the three dynasties to take over and become a student of Yu Shinan, which is to get close to the major forces distributed in the three provinces and six tribes under Yu Shinan's sect.
It is impossible for Yu Shinan to leave without leaving anything behind. He will inevitably elect a future successor to consolidate his power and protect the future of his family.
Perhaps, Yu Shinan's successor will emerge among the fifteen students in this last batch.
No one present was a fool. After hearing Yu Shinan's words, he had a vague feeling that this exam was no longer a simple exam.
This is not a fight between aristocratic families, but a leap into a powerful family in this era.
Everyone swallowed their saliva and did not dare to say any more nonsense.
Yu Shinan half-squinted his eyes, stood on the side of the oil pan, and suddenly said: "Who just said that I would behead my entire family?"
Changsun Huan shivered and knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly: "Yu Shibo, calm down, this junior is just joking...just joking..."
Changsun Huan knew in his heart that even his father, Changsun Wuji, could behave a little in front of this old guy.
Even if the emperor doesn't like Yu Shinan, he can't rely on his seniority. Even if the emperor favors the eldest son's family, he will not offend the people of the world.
Yu Shinan stopped talking and glanced at the oil pot indifferently: "Who dares to try this third round of testing?"
There was silence in the room. Although everyone knew that this enrollment was of great importance, who would make fun of his own life?
This is a boiling hot oil pan!
As soon as you enter, it will be charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and the meat is fragrant!
Not to mention being a student of Yu Shinan, I would not even dare to try to become an emperor.
Everyone was silent, but we wanted to see who would be so stupid that he would not give up his life?
I thought the stalemate would last for a long time, but unexpectedly, within a few seconds, a person walked out.
"I'll give it a try."
Everyone's eyes converged, and Bai Song suddenly appeared in everyone's sight.
"Isn't this the crab poem?"
"Turns out he is a fool!"
"Are you really desperate for your life?"
There was a lot of discussion, and the little boy in the crowd was a little anxious, and almost rushed out to stop him. Fortunately, he was stopped by his brother beside him.
"Brother, he...he doesn't want his life?"
"This is his own choice! Moreover, there must be something fishy about this matter. Grandpa will not do such nonsense."
On the other side, Cui Xing and Xie Yuan also shouted: "Brother Bai, you must calm down, this is impossible!"
Yu Shinan looked Bai Song up and down, and asked in an old voice: "Are you really willing to take the risk?"
Bai Song didn't answer. To be precise, Yu Shinan hadn't even finished asking the question. Bai Song had already put his hand into the rolling oil pan.
Everyone gasped, and some were so frightened that they almost screamed.
But seeing Bai Song's expression unchanged, he quickly took out a copper coin from the oil pan and handed it to the examiner.
The examiner looked at Bai Song approvingly and nodded.
Bai Song silently retreated into the crowd without any unnecessary words, looking a bit coquettish in hiding his merit and fame.
Everyone was dumbfounded and wondered how could this be done?
The oil in the pan was boiling, but his hand was not hurt at all.
While everyone was still discussing, Bai Song returned to Cui Xing and Xie Yuan and whispered: "Why are you still standing there? There are only fifteen places, so hurry up and touch the copper coins. The oil inside is not hot at all."
"Dangdang...seriously?"
Bai Song still had oil on his hands, so he touched them and found that they were really warm, but only 40 or 50 degrees Celsius.
Although the two of them didn't know the reason, they had the courage to step forward one after another. Without saying anything, they reached into the oil pan and took out two copper coins.
Now everyone was even more puzzled, there were big question marks one after another.
However, after learning from the past, there are bold people in the crowd who directly put their hands into the frying pan no matter what.
Then Brother Haokan followed suit and found out the copper coins.
After handing over the copper coins, the little brother wiped the oil on his hands and blew on them vigorously. His little hands were burned red.
"Little sister, do you want me?"
"It's a little hot, but I can bear it."
In a blink of an eye, there were already fourteen people.
There is only the last spot left for fifteen people.
Even if they see someone successfully fishing out copper coins, fearful people will always be afraid and still dare not try.
Until the thick smoke in the oil pan became smaller and there seemed to be not much movement.
At this time, Chang Sun Huan jumped out: "No one can take this last spot from me!"
After saying that, he stretched out his hand to put into the oil pan.
The examiner saw it and quickly stopped him: "The last round of the exam has ended, there is no need to take it again."
"Isn't there the last place? Why not take the exam?"
"The last spot was originally reserved for the second young master."
"What do you mean? Master, I didn't take the exam in the second round. With so many people watching, if I don't take the exam in the third round, wouldn't I be said to have entered the academy relying on the emperor's reputation? No,
I must take the test this round! Isn’t it just fishing for copper coins from the oil pan? The oil smoke was so big before, they could fish it out! Look, the oil and water are cold now, what should I be afraid of? Get out of the way!"
With that said, he pushed away the examiner and continued to approach the frying pan.
By chance, water droplets floated from nowhere and fell into the oil pan.
When hot oil meets water, it explodes, and a few drops of oil splash.
The examiner reacted quickly enough and dodged sideways. Zhang Sunhuan, who was standing next to him, was instantly splashed with oil on his hands. He immediately let out a howl like a slaughtering pig, hugged his hands, and squatted on the ground in pain.
When Yu Shinan on the side saw this, he frowned impatiently and whispered: "Get someone to apply medicine for him."
Changsun Huan cried and howled for a long time, and finally managed to hold it back. When he looked at his hands, he saw large and small blisters hanging on his hands like bunches of grapes, which was shocking.
People with the same thoughts as Changsun Huan could not help but retreat and stay away from the oil pan.
"What's going on? When the oil smoke was boiling and rolling, they didn't get hurt when they picked up the copper coins from the oil pan. Why is it that now that there is less oil smoke, the eldest grandson is seriously injured?"
Someone asked the key to the problem.
Yu Shinan took a step forward and glanced at the fourteen people who were fishing out copper coins.
"The fourteen of you have passed the third round and are now my disciples. Although you have fished out the copper coins, does anyone know what secrets are involved?"
"Eh? Didn't you say four rounds of exams? Why did the third round..."
"We will discuss this later." Yu Shinan said calmly.
More than a dozen people looked at each other, all confused.
Yu Shinan naturally turned his attention to Bai Song: "You were the first to try it. When everyone saw your success, they followed suit one after another. It's understandable that they don't know the reason, and you must understand the principle, right?"
Bai Song never thought that this kind of poorly written plot in a time-travel novel could be encountered by him, and he was too lazy to explain the original intention.
But since Yu Shinan asked in person, he patiently said: "The oil pan is mixed with vinegar, because vinegar has a low boiling point and boils first than the oil. When we see the oil pan boiling, it is actually the vinegar in the oil.
Rolling, as for the billowing smoke, it is actually the mist formed by the evaporation of vinegar. It looks scary, but in fact the temperature is very low. But as the vinegar evaporates and dissipates, the vinegar in the oil pan gradually decreases, and the smoke and boiling become relatively weaker, but it will
It feels like the temperature of the oil pan has dropped. But at this time, the temperature of the oil has been rising while the oil is being continuously heated. When there is no thick smoke in the oil pan, the human body will not be able to withstand the high temperature of the oil pan."
Not only the dozen or so people in front of him, but also everyone behind him were stunned.
When Bai Song finished speaking, everyone looked at Yu Shinan.
The old gentleman nodded happily and actually clapped softly: "A very complete explanation."
In the corner of the crowd, a little boy had stars in his eyes and said with admiration: "Wow, he is so awesome!"
Bai Song enjoyed the admiration of everyone, but he frowned slightly and asked: "Sir, today's exam does not test classics, why do you need to test this kind of charlatanism?"
Bai Song's question hit the mark.
The first two rounds of tests were normal, but why did the exam become so weird in the third round?
Shouldn't the academy examination be based on poems and songs? Why is there such a scene as fishing for copper coins in a frying pan?
Yu Shinan's expression gradually became serious, and he stroked his beard and said seriously: "We, the literati, should not limit our knowledge to poems and songs. Qimen and ghosts are prevalent among the people. This method of making money in a frying pan was taught by the demons of the Holy Lotus Sect."
Commonly used deception tactics.
You all came here under the guidance and recommendation of famous experts, so you certainly have some knowledge of poetry and literature. I am not worried that you are not versed in poetry and do not have enough literature. I am just afraid that when you become officials one day, you will be ashamed of what you have seen and do not understand the tricks of the world.
I don’t know that folk ghosts deceive the world, but are deceived by monsters. If you hold great power and hold a high position, you will become a great disaster to the world."
After everyone heard this, they were all stunned. They didn't expect that the old gentleman had thought deeply about this. They felt the old gentleman's concern for the country, and they all admired him a little more.
"There are more than 40 people among you, but only this one can tell the true meaning. It can be seen that few people in the literary world of the Tang Dynasty understand the sufferings of the people, which makes me deeply worried. In the future, I should mainly teach Qimen in school.
You study hard, and you must not be negligent because of unorthodox ways, do you understand?"
More than a dozen people handed over their hands: "I sincerely follow Mr.'s teachings."
Yu Shinan nodded and waved his hand again: "Everyone else, please retreat. The fifteen people who have been selected will take a break before the final fourth round of exams."
"Sir, since fifteen people have been selected, why is there still a fourth round of exams?"
"There is a level of academic achievement and a priority in seating. This last round of exams will determine your seniority and seating order based on your performance."
More than a dozen people listened attentively, and their moods that had just been relaxed became tense again.
This is the entrance exam for freshmen, ranking!
This is a matter of face. If you go to the back of the queue, you will not be able to hold your head high in front of your classmates when you study in the future.
This fourth round of exams is also very important.
At this point, those who dozed off stopped talking, and those who talked stopped talking. Those who were friends before have now become enemies.
Everyone was gearing up and preparing for the exam, only to hear Yu Shinan give another order: "It's getting late, everyone should go to the classroom library to wait for the exam."
