Chapter 693 He Is Such a Despicable Person!
"A-choo, choo!"
On the way back to the first floor of the sky, Xu Xiaoshou sneezed wildly.
He felt that he was being watched. At this point, there might be many forces discussing him secretly, trying to do something illegal.
"If you are not envied, you are a mediocre person."
Xu Xiaoshou barely comforted himself and thought that the task of stirring up trouble in Dongtianwang City was not entirely his own.
Including Jiang, the King of Hell...
All these affairs were done by Xu Deye alone.
Even if someone really dug up his past, at best the enemy could only find a code name of Xu Fuji, and everything had nothing to do with him, Xu Xiaoshou.
"Well, that's right."
On the way back, there were many unfamiliar people in the Central City.
Xu Xiaoshou's master-level "perception" is not vegetarian. He can clearly draw a conclusion from the comparison of the flow of people in the King City today and in the past few days.
"The Royal City, there are a lot of new people again!"
Perhaps it was because the young talents from the major county cities of the East Heaven Realm arrived one by one, or perhaps it was because the intelligence that he asked Yemao to release worked.
In short, the huge and peaceful Royal City of the East Heaven Realm, in Xu Xiaoshou's eyes, was full of the tranquility before the storm.
"Mr. Xu!"
Back to the first floor of the sky, the parade led by Xu Xiaoji had not returned yet.
On the contrary, Xiao Wanfeng seemed to have successfully graduated from Mr. Siren's teaching. He came to Xu Xiaoshou with excitement and raised the teacup happily, "Want a sip?"
Xu Xiaoshou: "..."
Xiao Wanfeng, really perfectly interprets the job of serving tea and water diligently!
Xu Xiaoshou stared at the teacup raised by the other party for a long time, and could not see any different taste, but in order to be on the safe side, he hesitated and said: "Xiao Wanfeng, there are some things that I don't know whether to say or not."
"What are you talking about?" Xiao Wanfeng froze.
Did something bad happen? Why did Master Xu give people such a serious feeling when he returned home?
Xu Xiaoshou pressed down Xiao Wanfeng's hand holding the teacup, and said earnestly: "Today, you are also a genius swordsman valued by the Seven Sword Immortals. If the job of serving tea and pouring water makes you feel... well, it is insulting, you can ask, and I can change you to a decent job."
"Insulting?" Xiao Wanfeng was stunned, he never felt that way.
Serving tea and pouring water is just a formality. More importantly, choosing to join the First Floor of the Sky is just to get a good umbrella of protection.
Isn't it just serving tea and pouring water, and doing things for others!
What's insulting about this?
Xiao Wanfeng thought to himself, Master Xu, you don't know what I have done before!
But the other party can think about him so much. To be honest, Xiao Wanfeng was a little moved at this time.
"Mr. Xu, you are too kind."
He put down his hand, and said with a serious look: "Serving tea and pouring water is not a humiliating thing. I don't think there is any distinction between high and low professions in the world. I feel very good about Tianshang Diyilou. It's really like a family, but..."
Xiao Wanfeng hesitated, looked at Mr. Xu's inquiring look, and said suspiciously: "Mr. Xu suddenly said this. Is it because I didn't do well enough? Or have you already thought of firing me? If so, please tell me!"
He was serious, as if asking for punishment.
Xu Xiaoshou raised his eyebrows and was shocked by Xiao Wanfeng's brain circuit.
Such a talented and worldly-wise young man is rare nowadays.
He can even hear a different meaning from his words. Although he has no intention of firing the other party, he can hear the hidden meaning of similar remarks...
Xu Xiaoshou thought of Xin Gugu and Mu Zixi. As for these two guys, they definitely don't have such ability!
"You think too much."
Xu Xiaoshou laughed and walked towards the inner hall of the first building in the sky. "I am worried that you will achieve something in the near future, such as becoming the ninth sword fairy... When you look back at the past, you will think that your work is a stain on your life and you will turn against me."
Xiao Wanfeng: "..."
He didn't expect Xu Shao to be so dramatic, but at the same time, he was a little excited about the high hopes Xu Shao had for him.
"That's not the case." Xiao Wanfeng laughed.
"Oh, from what you said, do you really think you can become the ninth sword fairy?" Xu Xiaoshou stopped and looked back.
"Uh."
Xiao Wanfeng was embarrassed and blushed, but he pondered for a long time, and actually raised his eyes and said seriously: "I think I can!"
"Hehe." Xu Xiaoshou smiled and didn't comment.
It's a good thing for young people to be confident.
But the road ahead is long, and it's unknown what will happen.
"Sit down!"
After sitting down at the seat, Xu Xiaoshou waved his hand to signal the other party to sit down, and then looked around and asked: "Is Mr. Siren out?"
"Yes."
Xiao Wanfeng nodded.
After answering his questions, Mei Siren had already left the building.
The other party was not a staff member of the First Floor of the Sky, so he naturally did not need to report his actions to Xu Shao, and he did not need to worry about whether leaving the building without permission would affect his work like Xiao Wanfeng.
"How is your study?" Xu Xiaoshou asked curiously.
He really had no experience of the teaching of the Seven Sword Immortals, although he was "proficient in swordsmanship" and did not need the so-called Seven Sword Immortals to answer his questions.
But the feeling of being favored by such a big man and being taught everything he knew was really curious.
"great!"
Talking about Mei Siren's teaching, Xiao Wanfeng was a little excited: "Mr. Siren answered too many questions that puzzled me for a long time, and also did research on the reasons why I could produce sword energy during the sword hiding stage. In the end, he affirmed I am a sword master now!"
Xiao Wanfeng was extremely excited as he spoke. He put down the saucer and gestured with his hands.
"Jianzong wow, Master Xu!"
"Can you believe it? I am now a sword sect? I can't believe it myself, but this is what Mr. Si Ren said. He said that my sword intention realm is enough. I do have the flavor of the sword sect, but it is missing. The confidence of the Sword Sect.”
"I, I, I..."
Xiao Wanfeng was at a loss and his face turned red, "I am the Sword Sect? This is so ridiculous! But it is indeed a fact. Can you understand Mr. Xu, this feeling!"
Xu Xiaoshou: "..."
"able."
He nodded, knowing that the young man in front of him had hidden his sword to such an extent that he was suspicious of him.
In essence, it is impossible to say that Xiao Wanfeng always thought that he was an ordinary person.
But isn’t that what ancient sword cultivators are like?
Putting aside the hidden artistic conception of swordsmanship, Xiao Wanfeng has no spiritual Qi sea. If an outsider sees it, doesn't he really look like a mortal?
"What's his explanation for the fact that you can still unleash sword energy during the sword-hiding stage?" Xu Xiao was asked. This question was also the key to his curiosity.
The Eighth Sword Immortal used the sword in the sword-hiding stage because he comprehended the nine major sword arts, and the perfect integration created the sword mind, which is a transcendent state.
Xiao Wanfeng, it’s not like this!
"Still researching."
Xiao Wanfeng calmed down a little and replied: "As for the specific explanation, Mr. Siren was also very vague. He only inferred that the path I took in ancient sword cultivation was crooked. After all, I had not experienced orthodox learning."
"but!"
"There is no right or wrong path to sword cultivation. The reason why the path of the predecessors is called a smooth path is because this path is recognized by the public and can lead to the ultimate saint."
"But other paths that are not recognized and have not been practiced do not mean that they cannot be canonized and called gods."
"So, even though Mr. Mi Ren thinks that my path is wrong, you can give it a try."
"He even suggested that I try to imitate the attack methods of the other nine sword arts during the sword hiding stage by simply using my sword intention."
"I can't say, this is also a path of ancient sword cultivation that is different from the orthodox Nine Swordsmanship."
Xu Xiaoshou was surprised when he heard this. This evaluation was not a low one.
"Did Mr. Siren tell you all this?" he asked.
Xiao Wanfeng shook his head slightly.
"Most of it is, and a small part is my summary!"
"Mr. Si Ren said that he has actually seen too many ancient sword cultivators like this, but very few have succeeded."
"Actually, he suggested that I continue to worship him as my teacher, seriously study the traditional ancient sword cultivation path, and then study other branches of sword cultivation, but..."
"You refused?" Xu Xiaoshou took over.
"Um."
Xiao Wanfeng nodded, was silent for a long time, and then laughed: "It's ridiculous to say it, but I always feel that I can do it, I can do it, so I really rejected Mr. Siren's kindness again. How should I put it, it's a bit... I don't know how high the sky is. !”
The boy said and sighed.
Xu Xiaoshou also pondered.
He knew that Xiao Wanfeng was not "proficient in swordsmanship", so being able to refuse such a temptation showed how strong this young man's perseverance was.
But the road to sainthood is not something that can only be achieved with passion.
Xu Xiaoshou could not give a firm "either or not" answer to Xiao Wanfeng's approach.
This young man may succeed in his path, or he may not.
Everything can really only rely on his own perception.
"Come on!"
Xu Xiaoshou could only give encouragement: "The road is at your feet, and the direction is chosen by people themselves. Maybe the wrong path that the world is prejudiced against is indeed a wrong path, but who knows whether there will be a bright road out of it?"
"That's what I thought." Xiao Wanfeng stood up excitedly, as if he had met a close friend.
Xu Xiaoshou chuckled, motioned to sit down, and said, "So, what's my question?"
When he was about to leave the first floor in the sky, he once asked Xiao Wanfeng to ask the Mei Si people for him: How long does it usually take to seal the sword to old age and become a saint?
This question is naturally based on the Eighth Sword Immortal.
Xiao Wanfeng obviously did not forget this question and said: "Mr. Siren said that there are only a handful of 'Sword Feng' cases in the world that can be used for serious research."
"Most of these few people were interfered by external forces during the process of sealing the sword, and were unable to even resist when they died."
"The only one who can go far on this road and maybe succeed is the Eighth Sword Immortal!"
After a pause, Xiao Wanfeng continued: "In Mr. Siren's understanding, if the Eighth Sword Immortal is really in the sword sealing state and is really taking this path, he must have started planning decades ago."
"This road is too difficult. He must have a protector by his side to prevent sudden accidents from ending his journey to seal the sword."
"And if it was true that the sealing of the sword began decades ago, then by now, at least the most difficult hurdles on the road to sealing the sword have been overcome."
"For example, interventionist, Taoist heart..."
Xiao Wanfeng's eyes were intense and he said with determination: "So, the success of the Eighth Sword Immortal is only a matter of time!"
Xu Xiaoshou raised his brows, somewhat disbelieving: "Is this your judgment, or is it?"
"Well."
Xiao Wanfeng's eyes were fixed, and he regained his timid posture: "In the end, it is my judgment, and the pertinent words were said by Mr. Siren."
Xu Xiaoshou almost jumped up and gave this kid a violent shudder.
Just say it!
What concluding remarks are you going to make?
With your current achievements, how can you make false claims about the Eighth Sword Immortal?
Why don't you just translate Mr. Mi's original words? Really, it's superfluous!
Xu Xiaoshou glared at him angrily, changed his mind, and did not show any impatience, but followed suit: "Then continue as you said, if the Eighth Sword Immortal really started to seal the sword decades ago, How long will it take to be canonized?”
"It can be as short as a few months, or as long as three or two years!"
Xiao Wanfeng became interested and continued to add with a dance: "If you ask me, if the Eighth Sword Immortal had started to seal the sword decades ago, then his defeat by Hua Sword Immortal's sword would not have been an accident at all, but A strategy!”
"Oh?" Xu Xiaoshou was just asking casually, but he didn't expect Xiao Wanfeng to come up with a surprising inference. He tapped his fingers on the table, "Continue."
"What do you think..."
Xiao Wanfeng gestured with his hands and said: "If you really want to seal the sword, and it will take decades to seal the sword, then what better way to seal the sword than to become a fallen dead person?"
"If you die, no one in the world will investigate your past."
"And during this period of being a dead person, as long as you stay alive and don't leave the mountain, when the sword becomes old and the state is gone, once you use the sword and become a saint, everyone in the world will know."
"This is a myth!"
Xiao Wanfeng was so lustful that he felt so excited that he seemed to have seen through all the intentions of the Eighth Sword Immortal and successfully became the Eighth Sword Immortal after the canonization.
Opposite him, Xu Xiaoshou was a little dulled by the thoughts of the passionate young man in front of the table.
This guy……
Good guy!
You have something!
"continue."
Xu Xiaoshou clasped his fingers in thought. He was the only one who didn't find Xiao Wanfeng's statement absurd and even somewhat approved of it.
After all, if it were him, he might do the same thing.
Dead man, what an identity!
"Unfortunately, I don't think so..." However, Xiao Wanfeng changed the subject and directly denied his thoughts, "A lot of people actually have this idea, but it doesn't make sense at all."
"Why?" Xu Xiaoshou was puzzled.
"Obvious reason!"
Xiao Wanfeng spread his hands and said longingly: "The sky is one foot high and there are eight people who know me. Who dares to take the title of Qingju? How can a person with such great courage and wanton behavior plan to use death to maintain his feudal status?" The sword’s stable period? The Eighth Sword Immortal doesn’t even bother to do this!”
Xu Xiaoshou: "..."
He didn't expect this answer.
"But what if he really thinks and does this because of you?" Xu Xiaoshou asked.
"No." Xiao Wanfeng looked determined. He didn't believe that the Eighth Sword Immortal was that kind of person.
Xu Xiaoshou thought of the Eighth Sword Immortal he knew.
That is a character who is a bit different from myths and legends.
It is true that arbitrariness does still exist.
But there are actually quite a few despicable and dirty tricks!
For example, the entire process of forcing Mr. Xu into prostitution with evil intentions, and the eight people around him who knew him well...
Those who are close to the ink are evil, colluding, colluding... Somehow, when thinking of storyteller, many words suddenly came to Xu Xiaoshou's mind.
"I don't think so."
Xu Xiaoshou thought about it and said. Seeing Xiao Wanfeng's disbelief, he asked again: "Okay, then do you think the Eighth Sword Immortal drinks alcohol?"
"What a joke!"
Xiao Wanfeng suddenly looked like a rooster with fried feathers, and his eyes widened: "Master Xu, I'm afraid you don't know that the world's sword cultivators do not drink alcohol, and the saying that drunken swordsmen are drunk is what the Eighth Sword Immortal put forward Bar!"
This time Xu Xiaoshou shook his head and laughed loudly.
Young man, you only know one thing about the Eighth Sword Immortal, but not the other!
He is probably the one who instigated all the wine that you, the sword cultivator, have hidden away. He is such a despicable person!
