Chapter 113 Bargaining (Four Thousand)

"Cherish your life? Hahaha..."

Shangguanxiao couldn't stop laughing when he heard these two words, and looked at Lin Xiao with "malicious intentions".

Lin Xiao was embarrassed by his stare and quickly said something else.

"When the disciple traveled around the world with the theater troupe in his early years, Wu Tou always had a saying on his lips. He said, this person, no matter how big his head is and what hat he wears, he must always remember his weight and don't eat too much.

He has a great ability, but he has to take a huge job..."

"When the time comes to make a fool of yourself, what you lose is not your face, but your life..."

Shangguan smiled and nodded slightly. "Oh? What Wu Tou said is not crude, but it is somewhat insightful."

Lin Xiao also nodded. "My disciple also thinks it makes sense, so I always keep it in my heart and never dare to forget it."

After a pause in speaking, he looked up at Shangguan Xiao above him, quickly lowered his head, and said truthfully: "Just like the 'Yunling White Bud' and other divine objects, if you return well, the disciple may not be able to take it, or even take it."

Shangguan smiled when he heard the words but said nothing. He just stretched out his hand to pick up the teapot when he saw Lin Xiao take two hurried steps forward, turn over the cup and pour some water. He finished in one go and then retreated back to where he was.

Taking a sip of tea, Shangguan smiled and said softly, as if talking to himself.

"The twenty-fifth day of next month coincides with the Dufeng Kingdom's imperial court holding the Anwu Immortal Meeting in the capital city of Anwu. Firstly, it is to pay homage to the 'Taozu Yuanhuang' for his teachings. Secondly, Han Shaohou and I are very good friends.

During the conversation, you also heard on the sidelines that the great victory at Luoyunguan was achieved, and the country of Beiyan sent envoys to discuss peace."

"In the Dufeng Immortal Sect, the Songfeng Hall enshrined by the imperial court is naturally one of them. In addition, the friction between the two countries involves a wide range of sects. You, Lin Xiao, have also been assigned the task of the mountain gate. Before the war, kill

Are you an enemy?"

Lin Xiao bowed and expressed his agreement.

In fact, Lin Xiao knows more or less the specific inside story.

According to the ordinary rules of the immortal sect, as a monk who is devoted to Taoism, he should not participate in the worldly war between the two countries. To put it more exaggeratedly, even if your royal power is overturned and the country is cut off, it will have nothing to do with our immortal sect.

Do it?

But this matter changed when it came to Beiyan Kingdom.

Just because the politics and religion of Beiyan State are integrated, Xianfan is a family.

Among the four major mountain sects in the country, Beixuan Palace, which is the most powerful, is originally of royal blood. The inner sect of the royal family, not to mention the heads of other three sects such as Kongcang Palace, Qingyang Mountain, and Yanjian Pavilion, are still in the imperial court.

Actual official position.

So it was a bit strange for the two countries to start a war.

If the three immortal sects of Dufeng Kingdom follow the rules and ignore them, the other party will end up with genuine monks. The worship of Songfeng Hall alone cannot stop the other party's conquest.

What's more, if Dufeng is really allowed to destroy the country, then the power of Beiyan Kingdom's Immortal Sect will reach right under the noses of Hanxi Mountain or the other two factions.

As the saying goes, "How can one allow others to snore and sleep on the side of the couch?" Everyone knows this, let alone the immortal monks?

So this battle turned into a strange situation where mortal soldiers were fighting on the ground and immortal monks were fighting in the sky.

Moreover, this fight has been carried out intermittently for dozens or hundreds of years, but it has never stopped.

As for who is right and who is wrong here, the winner will be divided equally, and the historian will explain it in detail.

Lin Xiao was thinking in his mind and then heard Shangguan Xiao continue.

"The current emperor of Dufeng Kingdom has won the throne at the age of thirty-nine. He has been in power for more than 20 years. How has he ever achieved such a great victory? He wanted to celebrate, so he invited all the immortal sects in the country to come together. Among them

, naturally there is my Hanxishan faction."

Shangguanxiao put the tea cup aside and continued.

"Since this is an 'immortal meeting' and a group of so-called 'experts' have been invited, there will naturally be a competition of skills. However, in line with the principle of not harming harmony, the end result will naturally be young talents from various sects. Tomorrow

A pillar of strength."

He pointed at Lin Xiao as he spoke.

"To put it bluntly, the ones who end up taking action are all Qi Refining monks. Even if one of them loses, it won't hurt the dignity of the mountain gate. It's just a bunch of kids, just for fun."

Lin Xiaoxin said this, although it sounds unpleasant, but it is also true.

After all, not all sects have masters of the golden elixir. If you end up building a foundation, you will inevitably become a real firebrand and no one will be convinced.

But if it's the end of Qi refining, then everyone really has it. Win or lose, laugh, it's all fun, but it's also lively.

So I heard Shangguan say with a smile again.

"The place for this competition is the Qiongtai Fairy Garden in Anwu City. The 'Yunling White Bud' mentioned just now is the lucky draw of this battle."

After saying that, he glanced at Lin Xiao.

"So, it's not difficult. You don't want to go?"

Unexpectedly, Lin Xiao still shook his head, even faster than before. "I won't go."

"Still not going?"

Shangguan smiled for a moment, changed his posture, and said a little surprised.

"Speaking of Po Tian, ​​these are just dolls at the eighth or ninth level of Qi refining, but they won't go here?"

Lin Xiao showed a wry smile. "Master Peak Master, in the eyes of a Jindan expert like you, these people must be just babies, but when it comes to this disciple, who has the foundation of the second and third levels of Qi refining, compared with them, the disciple has not been able to

Even worse than a doll..."

Shangguan chuckled, his eyes shining brightly. "Who are you kidding here? If you only have the strength of the second or third level of Qi Refining and can come out alive from the Wufeng Mountain Formation, I'll write my last name backwards!"

Lin Xiao choked at these words and his face turned pale. It was not that he was afraid, but that lying was useless in front of a master of Jindan. He might have walked more bridges than he had walked, so he would just pretend to be fake.

I don’t know the depth anymore.

What's more, Shangguan Xiao has given me a lot of advice. Although he is wild by nature, he should have no intention of harming himself. Besides, what is the purpose of using a golden elixir to harm Qi Refining? Just like, who would try to harm an ant? Directly.

Just crush him to death.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao took the risk and said bluntly.

"In the presence of the Peak Master, the disciple can only tell the truth. The disciple's cultivation is stagnant and he is only at the third level of Qi Refining. However, his spiritual awareness is always unimpeded and he has reached the state of perfection. As for the reason, the disciple does not know."

"But to be honest, since I was injured, the only one who has really relied on strength to defeat the opponent is a bandit at the sixth level of Qi Refining... As for the others, he has either used cleverness, tactics, and, yes, sneak attacks or even poison.

..."

The more Lin Xiao spoke, the less confident he became, but for some reason, Shangguan's smiling eyes became brighter and brighter as he listened to his words.

"Say, keep talking, I'm listening."

Lin Xiao then gritted his steel teeth and continued.

"If we want to defeat the enemy, how can we take risks again and again? If we have to face the sixth or seventh level of Qi Refining, how much confidence do we have? But if we have to face the eighth or ninth level, how can we risk our lives to fight for it?..."

"Haha, well said! If you don't have any means, I really won't choose you!" Shangguan said with a smile: "But, let me ask you, didn't they still die in your hands in the end?

?"

"Uh..." Lin Xiao was speechless, wondering why these words sounded familiar...

But he still struggled

"Okay! To put it bluntly, such a grand event attracts the attention of all parties. I'm not even a disciple of the mountain sect. How can I get in? How can I sneak in? I'm crazy! I was caught on the spot, and I can't tell the truth about the peak master. I'm the disciple.

I have to peel off my skin even if I don’t die..."

Shangguan laughed twice.

"What if I can send you in quietly without anyone noticing?"

"I..." Lin Xiao's forehead was beating wildly, and he was a little speechless.

"No, okay! The peak master's hands and eyes are astute to the sky, and his cultivation level is extremely high. He can send his disciples in!"

"But disciple, I'm really not interested in this 'Yunling White Bud'... No matter how useful this object is, once the disciple's cultivation level stagnates, it's a matter of two or two whether the Dao can be achieved, so how can it be stable?

Daoji?"

"Secondly, so that the peak master can know that the disciple has the spiritual root of the innate 'Five Absolute Body'. It's already so bad, what else can the disciple do to nourish..."

When Shangguanxiao heard this, he suddenly stared at Lin Xiao and kept looking up and down. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but tremble a few times. Finally, he slapped his thigh and burst into laughter.

"So it's you? Hahaha... I've heard that senior brother has approved the decree and raised a rare spiritual root of the 'Five Absolute Body' in the door for the purpose of investigation. It turns out that this person is your boy.

?Hahaha..."

Lin Xiao put his hand on his forehead after hearing this, thinking that even if he already knew the inside story, as a senior of the mountain sect, why don't you smile so openly...

After Shangguan smiled enough, he saw Lin Xiao acting like this, but he didn't take it seriously and said bluntly.

"Why do you act like a little girl! What about the 'Five Absolute Body'? Isn't it just that the golden elixir is cut off? You kid should cultivate to the peak of foundation building first, and then talk about other things. How can this person live his whole life and think about what will happen after he is born?

The truth? I have simply lost my spirit!"

Lin Xiao knew in his heart that this was correct, he bowed in salute, raised his head, and said: "What the Peak Master said is correct, but even if the disciple is brave, this 'Yunling White Bud' is really useless to the disciple.

Ah..."

Shangguan smiled and laughed, with a somewhat mysterious expression on his face. He looked at Lin Xiao and said softly, "I see."
