Chapter 090

Cheng Hui felt that he was not afraid of ghosts. At least when he watched horror movies in the past, he was not as frightened as his companions.

The last time he traveled to that haunted house and saw so many bizarre ghosts that challenged human values, he wasn't scared. Why did he suddenly feel a little scared when he got here?

He thought about it for a while and had to admit that he wasn't afraid of those physical ghosts. Instead, this psychological fear frightened him more...

To put it bluntly, you are scaring yourself.

He silently took two steps back and used Monk Huiling to shield himself without leaving any trace.

Huiling:?

Cheng Hui forced a smile at him: "I've finished reading it, you can read it."

Hui Ling didn't understand what was going on, so he politely thanked him and began to observe the statue carefully.

Cheng Hui secretly looked up and looked at the statue through the gap.

Cheng Hui: ...Damn, still staring at me!

He moved his feet again and leaned closer to Huiling's back, only to find that the broken statue seemed to be in conflict with him. It even turned the angle of its eyes and was still staring at him.

Cheng Hui held his forehead silently, it’s not over yet, right?

Cheng Hui's actions were not obvious, but there were so many people in the hall, and he moved his position twice in a row, which did attract some people's attention.

Working backwards from Cheng Hui's position, someone immediately noticed the changes in the statue.

"Wait, the stone statue was looking straight ahead just now, right? Why has it changed now?" a golden eagle exclaimed.

Everyone looked up and noticed the changes in the statue. Hui Ling, who was the first among them, was almost scared to scream because of the statue's sharp eyes due to his position.

He couldn't help but take a step back, but suddenly bumped into something. Looking back, he was met with Cheng Hui's polite yet awkward smile.

Hui Ling understood something almost instantly, and the expression on his face instantly became extremely wonderful.

Huiling: ...Knock! Do you hear that? Knock!

"Oh my! This statue's eyes can actually move! How terrifying!"

Cheng Hui's exaggerated performance made everyone present twitch their lips.

Fake!

It's so fake!

At this moment, the statue suddenly moved, and everyone retreated quickly, but not too far. Instead, they formed a circle and surrounded the statue.

The old man's statue slowly stood up straight, looked around, and frowned at the people who looked wary. "Are young people nowadays so rude?"

Cheng Hui blinked, as if he had returned from a horror movie to a fantasy movie.

By the way... the effects of the statue's eyeballs moving and the statue's entire body moving are completely different... Now when I look at it again, I'm not scared at all... Bullshit!

He still looks a lot like their class teacher, okay! Especially when the old man stood up, that condescending and serious temperament, it was even more like him!

Thinking back to the hard times he had in his senior year of high school, Cheng Hui couldn't help but tremble in fear in the corner...

"That guy...that kid over there! Yeah, stop looking around, I'm talking about you!"

However, what you fear will come true. The old statue directly pulled Cheng Hui out from behind.

"Um...you called me?" Cheng Hui pointed at his nose helplessly.

The old man snorted, "Who else can I call if not you? You, come here."

Cheng Hui hesitated and didn't want to move. Other people and animals looked at him with envy.

The elders from each village had told them before that there was no danger to life in the Black Tower, and at most they would get injured during the assessment. After all, this was a place of inheritance, and even if it was not suitable for a certain inheritance, it might be suitable for other inheritances. The predecessors who left behind the inheritance would not kill someone in the assessment just because they were not suitable, so they would encounter various opportunities, and the worst result would be nothing.

Seeing that he could not delay any longer, Cheng Hui could only slowly walk up to the old man.

"Old man, do you have anything to tell me?"

The old man looked him up and down, then said thoughtfully, "You're quite lucky, kid. I can sense the aura of two old friends on you. If I remember correctly, the inheritance left by one of them is not in this black tower."

Lin Qingyang's heart moved. Could the two old friends the old man mentioned be the jade slips in the village and the various choices they had just experienced?

Cheng Hui quickly smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm a kind person. People like me usually have good luck."

The old man's mouth twitched, and he was speechless for a long while: "Okay, you are indeed lucky."

After saying this, he glanced at those people and said, "I do have an opportunity here, but whether you can get it and what you can get depends on your luck."

After saying this, he pointed to the statues and said, "Pick any of the statues in this hall. Each person can only choose one. After choosing, as long as you can fulfill the statue's requirements, you will receive a gift."

After saying that, he signaled everyone present to start taking action.

Hui Ling looked around, and suddenly something moved in his heart. He took a step forward: "Amitabha, this senior, can I choose you?"

When the others heard his words, they immediately regretted it and wondered why they didn’t think of it!

This old man obviously has an extraordinary status, and he is also one of the statues. If you can choose others, you can choose him. Comparing them, it is natural that choosing this old man can get the best opportunities.

"Oh? You want to choose me?" The old man raised his eyelids nonchalantly.

"Yes."

The old man looked at the others and said, "Are there any others who would like to choose me? I remind you that you only have one chance to choose me, and once you choose, you cannot change it."

After saying that, he even glanced at Cheng Hui: "Boy, do you want to choose me too?"

"No, no, I won't do that. You can tell you're having a hard time, old man. I won't bother you any more." Cheng Hui shook his head frantically.

Are you kidding? He doesn't even have time to hide, so how could he take the initiative to approach?

It is certain that the old man has a special status, and the reward for choosing him must be very good, but how could these people forget that since the old man has a special status, does it mean that the requests he puts forward are also particularly difficult to fulfill?

Only by completing the statue's requirements can you get the gift. If you fail to complete it...

There is a saying that the greater the risk, the greater the opportunity.

But the same is true in reverse. Cheng Hui has made up his mind and will definitely not choose this old man.

There were eight people present, four humans and four animals. Among them, Huiling's two brothers and the black panther all chose the old man.

The rest of them were lingering in front of the other statues, but their ears were pricked up, intending to listen to what the old man would ask first.

Unfortunately... the old man did not give them this opportunity. With a wave of his hand, the three people in front of him disappeared. Then he returned to his original position and closed his eyes to rest.

Everyone looked at each other, then dispersed and began to think about how to choose the statue.

Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang observed these statues carefully. The statues here were dressed differently and obviously had different occupations.

For example, there are two statues in the shape of old men. Although both are wearing linen clothes, the former has his trouser legs rolled up high, his waist bent, and a rice ear in his hand. He is obviously a farmer who is farming.

The latter, on the other hand, was carrying a fishing rod on his back and had a bamboo basket at his feet. A fat fish was jumping out of the basket. He must be a fisherman.

In addition, the other statues also have their own characteristics, and a lot can be analyzed from their clothing.

Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang discussed it and both felt that their professions might be the hint given in this level.

In other words, the demands made by these statues are likely related to their professions.

In this way, they will have a clear tendency when choosing statues and can choose the aspects that they are good at.

Cheng Hui felt that he had no special skills, so he finally stopped his gaze on the statue of the farmer. He touched his chin and felt that he was usually quite good at tending the spiritual fields. This might be a natural skill for flower growers, so he simply chose to plant.

Lin Qingyang chose... Wait, what are you doing! Stop! ! ! !

Cheng Hui was almost stunned as he watched Lin Qingyang slowly walk to a statue of a scantily clad woman, reached out and touched the hem of her skirt before disappearing.

Cheng Hui couldn't help but stretch out Erkang's hand, but in the end he didn't have time to stop him. He hurried to the front of the statue and observed it carefully. He had to admit that if he guessed correctly, this scantily clad young lady was most likely a prostitute.

He didn't mean to look down on the prostitutes, he just didn't understand why Lin Qingyang chose this one.

They had just discussed that the statue's requirements might correspond to their professions, choosing a young lady from a brothel... Is this guy going to learn the art of sex?!

Cheng Hui was going crazy. What on earth was wrong with this naughty kid? Did he discover some secret about the statue?

He observed the statue again. Yes, it was indeed a beautiful woman, wearing very revealing clothes. Her every move and gesture carried a strong hint of seduction. It was obvious that—

Holy crap!!!!

Cheng Hui was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

What did he see?

Why does this pretty girl have an Adam's apple?

I was misled by her clothes just now, but now after taking a closer look, I suddenly realized that this young lady's figure... is she too tall?

It is almost the same size as Cheng Hui, and with the base below, it is a little taller than Cheng Hui.

Cheng Hui is 187cm tall, and this woman is almost as tall as him???

Cheng Hui: ...

Oh shit!

Holy crap!!

Holy crap!!!

No way! ?

Were the immortals so fashionable back then? Even cross-dressing dudes appeared???

Shocked.jpg

But... even if he's a cross-dresser, isn't his clothing too revealing? He doesn't look like a decent person at all...

Cheng Hui: ..._(:з」∠)_

Cheng Hui felt like his scalp was about to explode!

Can't he give this naughty kid some peace of mind?

Even though he couldn't meet the statue's requirements, at most he would return empty-handed, but... he was still a child! Who knew what would happen inside!

Just thinking about the possible scenarios, Cheng Hui felt like he was going to be sick.

"Damn little brat, I'm going to beat your butt until it's swollen when you get out!" Cheng Hui muttered with gritted teeth, then with an expression of heroic sacrifice on his face, he touched the skirt of the statue.

The moment he touched the hem of the skirt, he seemed to hear a sweet voice and chuckled.

Cheng Hui: ???

You may not believe it, but I have a bad feeling...
