I Am Xianfan

　　 The night is getting deeper, and everything is silent in the mountains. A burst of sleepiness struck, and the exhausted and excited Su Chen couldn't help the sleepiness after all. He lay down on the ground in the cave and fell asleep.

　　 At dawn, the birds in the mountains crowed and became noisy.

　　 Su Chen woke up, thinking that he didn't know how long he had been in the belly of the fish in the lake yesterday, and worried that he would be punished by Master Li Kui. He carried the medicine basket and hurried to the Yaowang Villa in the southern suburbs of Gusu County.

　　 From the deep and old forests of Qionglong Mountain to Gusu County, dozens of miles of rugged mountain roads are not easy to walk.

　　 Around the evening, he hurried back to Yaowang Villa.

　　 After Su Chen returned to Yaowang Mountain Villa, he found that he had been in a coma in the belly of the fish monster in the lake for only a short time, which did not exceed the time limit required by Pharmacist Li Kui to return within three days.

　　 He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

　　 As for the bizarre things he encountered in the mountains, he didn't dare to tell anyone that these things were too bizarre, and no one would believe them.

　　 Besides, I stupidly tried the poison of the golden snake with my body, and was almost eaten by the fish monster. I am afraid that I will be ridiculed by the brothers and sisters.

　　...

　　 A few days later, the outer apprentice of the Medicine King Gang was eliminated once every six months, and finally came.

　　 On this day, Li Kui walked to the practice courtyard with his hands on his back, as usual, indifferently and solemnly pointed out the martial arts of the disciples.

　　 This is the last martial arts class. After this class, it is time to make the final decision.

　　 Su Chen started a twelve-point mental training to deal with the upcoming elimination of apprentices once every six months.

　　 Zhang Tieniu, Yang Caizhi, Qin Huihui, and Kong Xinqiao, the four outer disciples, all showed great power when they were practicing, for fear of something wrong. At this critical time, Master was dissatisfied with him.

　　 There are only two inner disciples, Wang Fugui and Li Jiao, who are still practicing as usual, talking and laughing. This half-year elimination will naturally have no effect on these two inner disciples who will study with Master for three years.

　　 At noon, Pharmacist Li Kui's expression suddenly became deserted, and his slightly gloomy gaze scanned Su Chen and other five outer disciples.

　　 "This is the last time for the teacher to give you advice on martial arts training. The half-year period has come. According to the elimination rules of our Medicine King Gang once every six months, it is time to make a decision. It's all standing!"

　　 Su Chen and other five foreign disciples who were practising martial arts skills suddenly looked terrified, and quickly stood in front of the master, bowing their hands, and waiting for the instructions.

　　 The future status of the five of them in the Yaowang Gang in the future, and which hall they are assigned to, are at this moment determined by the words of Pharmacist Li Kui.

　　Wang Fugui and Li Jiao, the two inner disciples, retreated to the side in time, talking in a low voice, guessing who would be eliminated first by Master's elimination once every six months.

　　 Pharmacist Li Kui did not rush to make a decision, but looked at the five outer disciples with cold eyes.

　　 He has taught five outer disciples for more than half a year, and he has naturally known their talents and dispositions a long time ago.

　　 Zhang Tieniu was born as a butcher. He has a lot of lard for his own snacks, and he has a long back and waist. He is born a good material for martial arts. The cultivation talent of Xia Dantian is the strongest among the seven brothers. However, it's hard to say when the dantian is cultivated and the inner family's true qi is started to be cultivated. Also, they are stupid, rude and impulsive, and are easily instigated and used by others. It is naturally the best arrangement to let him go to the Guardian Hall in the future.

　　 Yang Caizhi’s father is a manager of the accountant in a shop in the city. He has learned a lot of accountant skills from his father. He has average talent in cultivation, but he is quick to calculate and clever. It is a generation who tends to follow the trend, sees the wind and makes the rudder... This is not necessarily all weaknesses, and the disciples who are savvy and flexible at the bottom of the rivers and lakes usually mix well.

　　 Two sisters, Qin Huihui and Kong Xinqiao, are well-behaved and simple, and work hard. Women are inherently weaker than men in martial arts training and medicinal techniques. Their strength is weak among the five.

　　 Finally, it was Su Chen. This son was born in Zhouzhuang's fisherman's family. He was prudent and sensible. Except for the two inner disciples, Su Chen has the highest potential among the five outer disciples. It's hard to say in three years, but after ten years it will definitely be the strongest of the five.

　　 It's a pity that Su Chen has always had a good relationship with his master. Every time he sees Su Chen, it feels like seeing an unfamiliar wolf, which makes him quite bored.

　　 In general, these five outer disciples are ordinary people, not bad or bad. Ten years later, if they can cultivate and promote to the second-rate state of the art players, they are considered lucky.

　　 He doesn't plan to make the decision of whom to eliminate by himself.

Li Kui looked at the five of them and was silent for a while, before he said indifferently: "Your five brothers are similar in strength, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. After six months, it will be in the eyes of the teacher. I want to eliminate one of you, for It is difficult for the teacher to choose.

　　 Let’s do this, the five of you go to the outside of the yard to discuss it yourself. After discussing it, go to the house to take a blank bamboo stick, write down the name of the person you want to eliminate on the stick, and hand the stick to your teacher. The five bamboo sticks with the most names will be eliminated.

　　Who among you has been eliminated is your own decision. Don't complain about being a teacher in the future. As a teacher, treat each of you equally, regardless of merit. "

　　 Su Chen, Zhang Tieniu, Yang Caizhi, Qin Huihui and Kong Xinqiao and other five outer disciples were all anxiously waiting for Master's final decision.

　　 Originally thought that the master would directly designate an outer disciple he least liked to eliminate, and that matter was over.

　　 Su Chen even carefully analyzed that he was the least favored by the master among the five outer disciples, so if he was psychologically prepared, he might be eliminated first.

　　 In contrast, Yang Caizhi and others were quite pleased with Li Kui in the past, and they often gave gifts privately, and the possibility of being eliminated by the master was very small.

　　 No one thought, but when he heard such a result, Master Li Kui actually treated them "equally", neither to Yang Caizhi, Zhang Tieniu and others, nor to treat Su Chen, who is usually the most alienated.

　　 Instead, they let the five of them discuss themselves and vote for a decision to eliminate one of them.

　　 The five outer disciples of them were all dumbfounded.

　　Wang Fugui and Li Jiao were also whispering about various possibilities. They were all surprised and puzzled.

　　 This method of elimination was beyond their expectations. It was not like Li Kui's old dictatorial, arbitrariness, and irresistible teaching style.

　　 Pharmacist Li Kui waved his hand, and the five outer disciples walked out of the small courtyard in a daze, and went outside to discuss.

　　 There are only Pharmacist Li Kui left in the small courtyard, as well as two inner disciples Wang Fugui and Li Jiao.

　　 "The master treats all the disciples equally, and it is really fair."

　　 Li Jiao looked for an opportunity and quickly complimented her.

　　 Although she is an inner disciple, she can study for three years, so she doesn't have to worry about being eliminated halfway. But she usually pleases her more, and when she teaches her medicine and martial skills, she will naturally be more attentive.

　　 "Just right?"

Li Kui sneered, raised his white robe, and sat down on a stone bench in the middle of the small courtyard. He picked up a cup of Biluochun tea made by Yang Caizhi early on the stone table. Take a sip of fragrant tea.

　　 On the skill level of tea, Yang Caizhi is naturally the leader among the disciples, so Yang Caizhi has always come to make tea for him. Even the inner disciples Wang Fugui and Li Jiao were ashamed and couldn't compete with them.

　　 But just relying on these gadgets to please, make a few cups of tea, and send a few catties of bacon, want him to treat Yang Caizhi, Zhang Tieniu and others differently?

　　 Hmph, naive and ridiculous!

　　 Pharmacist Li Kui put down the tea cup and said quietly: "This time the elimination of the outer disciples once every six months is also an important lesson for the two inner disciples of the master. Wealthy, why do you do this?"

Wang Fugui was also puzzled. He was puzzled. Hearing the question of Pharmacist Li Kui, he racked his brains for a while, and then cautiously replied: "Thanks to the master. The teacher can make the disciples be grateful and punished. Master Yu can make his disciples awe, and rewards and punishments are both Master’s favor to his disciples, and it is also your right.

　　 But the master let them discuss and decide to eliminate one of the five. By doing this, you give up your right to rewards and punishments, which is contrary to common sense. And this arrangement might cause five people...infighting! "

　　Wang Fugui said this without intention. But there was a sudden thud, and came to my realization, and suddenly chilled.

　　 Whether it is eliminated or not, but it involves a great deal of interest. Mutual humility is simply impossible, and once a fight arises, it will definitely tear the skin. The master let the five of them decide for themselves, and it's strange that they don't turn back in the end.

　　 Could it be that behind this seemingly "equal treatment", the five outer disciples are provoked to fight inwardly. This is the hidden meaning of Master Li Kui!

　　 But for what reason does Master adopt this kind of elimination method that seems to treat everyone equally and is extremely fair, but in fact it is extremely cold?
