"What does it mean to be cunning and cunning? I am a simple Yanhuang who is known as a good young man of the times."
There are black lines on Xiang Chen's forehead. Is this hurting me or complimenting me?
Palace Master Longtuo continued: "Originally, I was worried that people like you were ruthless and unrighteous. However, after passing the desert assessment of Xuanhuang Tiantu, it can be seen that your character is a person with a sense of responsibility and a moral bottom line in your heart.
Man, this makes me quite satisfied.”
Xiang Chen frowned when he heard this and said, "Qian'er is the person you arranged? To test me?"
"What about the Qing'er I met?" Xia Houwu also asked.
"That's right, the desert you experienced before is called Xuanhuang Tiantu. Qian'er is the spirit of the array of Xuanhuang Tiantu. The purpose is to test your character."
Palace Master Longtuo nodded, looked at the sky outside the palace, and said indifferently: "The best way to test a person's character and bottom line is not to see what he does when he is in glory, but to see what he will do in desperate situations and at his lowest point.
"
"Besides you, there are twelve talented people who have also gone through Qian'er's assessment. However, other than you and Xia Houwu, do you know what they did in the end?"
Xiang Chen had some guesses.
The master of Longtuo Palace waved his sleeves, and the scene on the spatial mirror changed, and a picture emerged.
Above, there is another person taking the assessment.
He was a handsome young man wearing a dragon's black robe, with extraordinary bearing and nobility.
"Ji Wushuang!" Xiang Chen narrowed his eyes and recognized this person.
"This boy has the aura of an emperor, a body of pure yang immortal, and the blood of the dragon clan. His talent is also extremely outstanding, and his vision and character are also extraordinary." The master of Longtuo Palace said.
Xiang Chen said: "He is the prince of the Great Xia Dynasty."
Immediately, Qian'er's figure also appeared above.
Qian'er asked Ji Wushuang for help, but Ji Wushuang was indifferent and watched Qian'er being bitten to death by the evil wolf, leaving only bloody bones.
This scene shows Ji Wushuang's indifference.
Immediately, the picture changed, and another figure appeared.
"Peng Tianyun!" Xiang Chen also recognized this person, it was Peng Tianyun who had been chasing him before.
Peng Tianyun also met a girl similar to Qian'er.
However, Peng Tianyun actually killed the evil wolf and Qian'er, and killed Qian'er and the evil wolf together.
There were some people behind, and some were kind enough to save Qian'er, but they were all abandoned in the end.
There is also a cruel one. After saving Qian'er, he took her with him. When he almost couldn't hold on any longer, he actually killed Qian'er and ate her flesh and blood. The cruelty in his character was completely exposed.
Xiang Chen also saw Xia Houwu.
Xia Houwu is similar to Xiang Chen. He has always taken Qian'er with him to protect him. During the most difficult time, Xia Houwu actually cut his own flesh and roasted it for Qian'er and himself to eat. He was also a ruthless person. He would eat it even if he tried to be ruthless.
.
However, he did not abandon Qian'er, did not hurt Qian'er, and led her out of the desert with difficulty.
"Hehe, I thought it was your daughter who came. I consider her my goddaughter."
Xia Houwu smiled and scratched his head.
Palace Master Longtuo smiled and said: "Xia Houwu, it can be said that you hate evil as much as you hate it. The justice and integrity in your heart and the importance of love and righteousness have become your beliefs. Your perseverance is amazing and hard to shake. You are brave and dare to fight. It can be said that you are born with it. warrior."
"However, you are too upright and don't understand the sophistication and adaptability of people. You can fight against gentlemen, but you can't guard against villains. In this regard, you are much worse than Xiang Chen."
Xiang Chen kicked Xia Houwu in the butt: "Did you hear that? Learn from it. There is no harm in being smarter and deeper in the city. Don't be so stupid and be the first to rush into everything."
Xia Houwu grinned and said, I know, I know.
However, Xiang Chen also knew that what he said was in vain. As the saying goes, a country is easy to change, but a person's nature is hard to change.
Some people are born with the inability to be evil, and have been bullied all their lives. Is it because they don’t understand the principle of being bullied and ridden by others? Everyone understands that it is just the kindness of nature that prevents him from being a cruel person.
Some people are born to be devils, and they can do some crazy things even at a young age.
It is a good thing to be kind and upright, but you must also have fangs to protect yourself.
As for Xia Houwu, he was born to be a fool. He was either stupid or naive. He didn't like calculations and could solve things with murder and fists. This guy would never use his brain to solve things.
Any living thing has its own fixed thinking pattern and it is difficult to change it.
Suppose Shangguan Jinghong and Meng Xiao were the monkey’s enemies.
Xia Houwu's solution was definitely to fight head-on and kill the two people openly.
However, both of them have backgrounds, and Xiahou Wu will have a group of enemies behind him.
As for Xiang Chen, he could easily kill two people without saying anything, but he still had to make the Shangguan family grateful to him. Even Meng Ziqi, who was his former enemy, could no longer hate him, and the Qiu Hou who invisibly solved the problem of settling accounts with the forces behind the two.
This is a different approach to problem solving.
Xiang Chen is ruthless, insidious enough, strategic and courageous, and at the same time does not lack a sense of responsibility and charisma. This kind of person is the most open-minded person in the world. He knows how to best protect himself and those around him. .
"Senior, the assessment direction is very special. You seem to place great emphasis on a person's character."
Xiang Chen asked.
Since he entered the world of spiritual practice, he has experienced many assessments from institutions along the way.
For example, Huangzhou Academy is still the assessment of Ba Tian Sect.
The content of these assessments basically revolves around the disciple's strength, survival ability, or talent.
No one cares about the depth of humanity in his disciples.
Upon hearing this, the Master of Longtuo Palace's eyes became slightly darker, and he came outside the palace gate, overlooking the vast secret world under tens of thousands of feet of mountains.
"I rose from the demon clan, got opportunities, passed down the inheritance, and experienced countless lives and deaths. Finally, in the turbulent times, I carved a piece of heaven and earth in the fairy world and became the master of it."
"And I have had the most painful lessons in my life..."
Xiang Chen silently prepared a small bench, Huoling sunflower seeds, and sat down with Xiahou Wu to eat melon seeds and listen to stories, and then drank two jars of small wine, enjoying themselves.
The Lord of Longtuo Palace talked about his magnificent life endlessly.
Xiang Chen and Xia Houwu pounded more than ten kilograms of melon seeds and listened to it for three days and two nights. The two brothers fell asleep after listening to it.
Xia Houwu had already fallen asleep leaning on Xiang Chen's back.
Xiang Chen held his chin in one hand and shook the small wine bottle with the other, taking a sip from time to time while listening to his life experience.
The Lord of Longtuo Palace is also like an old man who has not chatted with anyone for many years and has been lonely for a long time and has the opportunity to chatter.
He has also lived for tens of thousands of years. If you talk about this experience in detail, you can write a full novel.
The three most painful experiences he mentioned were that when he was in danger, he was betrayed by one of his women and almost died. Later, he met a girl and was saved by her.
Also, because of the powerful inheritance he controlled, his disciples and his brothers betrayed him and joined forces with outsiders to kill him and seize power to seize the inheritance, which led him to where he is now.
Therefore, when he chooses a successor, he attaches great importance to the character of the opponent.
