On the way back to the first floor, Xu Xiaoshou sneezed wildly.
He felt that he was being watched. At this point, it was impossible to say that there were many forces secretly discussing him and trying to engage in some illegal actions.
"It is mediocre who is not envied by others."
Reluctantly comforting himself, Xu Xiaoshou thought that the task of stirring up trouble in Dongtian King City was not all done by himself.
Including Jiang, King of Hell...
All these matters were done by Xu Decho alone.
Even if someone really wants to find out who he is, the enemies will only be able to find the code name of Xu Fuji at best, and everything has nothing to do with Xu Xiaoshou himself.
"Well, that's right."
Along the way back, there were many new people in Zhongcheng.
Xu Xiaoshou's master-level "perception" is not a vegetarian. He can clearly draw a conclusion from the comparison of the flow of people in the royal city today and the previous few days.
"In the royal city, a lot of new people have arrived!"
Perhaps it was the young talents from major counties and cities in the Eastern Heaven Realm who arrived one by one, or perhaps it was because the information he asked Night Owl to release had an effect.
In short, in Xu Xiaoshou's eyes, the huge and peaceful Dongtian King City was full of the tranquility before the storm.
"Master Xu!"
Back on the first floor of the sky, the parade led by Xu Xiaoji has not returned yet.
Xiao Wanfeng, on the other hand, seemed to have successfully graduated from Mr. Siren's teaching. He came to Xu Xiaoshou with excitement on his face, and happily raised the tea cup, "Want a sip?"
Xu Xiaoshou: "..."
Xiao Wanfeng really perfectly interprets the job of a dedicated tea and water person!
Xu Xiaoshou stared at the tea cup raised by the other party for a long time, but could not detect any different taste. However, just to be on the safe side, he hesitated and said: "Xiao Wanfeng, there are some words that I don't know what to say."
It’s inappropriate to talk about it.”
"What are you talking about?" Xiao Wanfeng paused.
Did something bad happen? Why did Xu Shaoyi give people such a serious feeling when he returned home?
Xu Xiaoshou pressed Xiao Wanfeng's hand that was holding the tea cup high, and said earnestly: "Today, you are also a talented swordsman valued by the Seven Swordsmen. If you have the job of serving tea and pouring water, you will feel...
Well, if it's an insult to politeness, you can mention it and I can give you a decent job."
"Insulting the gentlemen?" Xiao Wanfeng was stunned. He had never felt like this before.
Serving tea and pouring water is just a formality. More importantly, choosing to join the first floor in the sky is just to get a good protective umbrella.
Why don't you just bring some tea, pour some water, and do your bidding?
What's so insulting about politeness?
Xiao Wanfeng said in her heart, Mr. Xu, you don’t know what I have done before!
But the other party could consider him so much. To be honest, Xiao Wanfeng was a little touched at this time.
"Xu Shaoyan is too serious."
He put down his hand with the same serious look on his face: "Serving tea and pouring water is not an insulting thing to do. I don't feel that there is any distinction between professions in the world. The first floor in the sky gives me a good feeling.
It's really like a family, but..."
Xiao Wanfeng hesitated for a moment, looked at Mr. Xu's inquiring look, and said suspiciously: "Young Master Xu suddenly said this, is it because I haven't done a good enough job? Or is it because you have already thought of firing me? If so, please ask Mr. Xu
Say it clearly!"
He acted solemnly, as if asking for punishment.
Xu Xiaoshou raised his eyebrows, surprised by Xiao Wanfeng's brain circuit.
Such a talented and intelligent young man who is also humane and sophisticated is rare nowadays.
He could actually hear a different meaning from his own words. Although he had no intention of dismissing the other party, he could hear the underlying meaning of similar remarks...
Xu Xiaoshou thought of Xin Gugu and Mu Zixi. As far as these two guys are concerned, they definitely don't have such abilities!
"You think too much."
Xu Xiaoshou laughed loudly and walked towards the inner hall of the first floor of the sky, "I am worried that you will achieve something in the near future, such as becoming the Ninth Sword Immortal... When the time comes, you will look back at the past and think of
At this time, your job is a stain on your life, and you are just going to turn against me."
Xiao Wanfeng: "..."
He didn't expect Xu Shao to have so many dramas, but at the same time, he was a little excited about Xu Shao's high expectations for him.
"That's not the case." Xiao Wanfeng chuckled.
"Oh, listening to what you said, do you really think you can become the Ninth Sword Immortal?" Xu Xiaoshou stopped and looked back.
"Well."
Xiao Wanfeng was embarrassed at this time and his face turned red. However, after he pondered for a long time, he raised his eyes and said seriously: "I think I can do it!"
"Heh." Xu Xiao was happy and didn't comment.
It is a good thing for young people to have confidence.
But there is a long road ahead, and it is still unclear what will happen.
"sit down!"
When he came to his seat and sat down, Xu Xiaoshou waved and motioned for the other party to sit down. Then he looked around and asked, "Is Mr. Siren out?"
"Um."
Xiao Wanfeng nodded.
After answering his confusion, Mei Siren had already left the building.
The other party is not a staff member on the first floor of the sky, so there is no need to report his actions like Mr. Xu, and there is no need for Xiao Wanfeng to worry about whether leaving the building privately will affect his work.
"How did you learn?" Xu Xiaoshou asked curiously.
He has never experienced the teachings of the Seven Swordsmen. Although he is "proficient in swordsmanship", he does not need the so-called Seven Swordsmen's answers.
But the feeling of being favored by such a big boss and being taught everything by him is 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 reason why I could produce sword energy during the sword hiding stage. Finally, 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 a 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's Qi sea is empty of spiritual energy. If outsiders look at it, don't they 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 sword arts and perfectly integrated them to create the sword mind, which is a state of transcendence.
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 of ancient sword cultivation I took 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 hidden sword stage by simply using my sword intention."
"I can't say that 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 sounds ridiculous, 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 young man sighed as he spoke.
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 a bright and prosperous road can emerge from 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. Si Ren said that there are only a handful of 'Feng Jian' 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 state of sealing the sword 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 some of the most difficult hurdles on the road to sealing the sword have been overcome."
"For example, the intervener, Dao Xin..."
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 eyebrows, somewhat disbelieving: "Is this your judgment, or is it?"
"Well."
Xiao Wanfeng's eyes were fixed, and he regained his timid posture: "The final judgment is mine, and the pertinent words were said by Mr. Siren."
Xu Xiaoshou almost jumped up when he heard this and gave this boy a violent shudder.
Just say it!
What concluding remarks are you going to make?
With your current achievements, how can you talk about the Eighth Sword Immortal?
Couldn't you just translate Mr. Mito's original words? Really, it's superfluous!
Xu Xiaoshou glared at him angrily, changed his mind, and did not show any impatience, but followed: "Then continue as you said, if the Eighth Sword Immortal really started to seal the sword decades ago,
How long will it take until now 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 happily: "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 about it."
"This is a myth!"
Xiao Wanfeng was so lustful that he was 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 agreed with it.
After all, if it were him, he would probably do the same thing.
Dead man, what an identity!
"Unfortunately, I don't think so..." However, Xiao Wanfeng changed the topic 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 with longing: "The sky is one foot high and eight people know each other. Who dares to take the title of Qingju? How can such a person with such great courage and wanton behavior plan to use death to maintain his feudal status?"
The stabilization period of the sword? The Eighth Sword Immortal would not even bother to do this!"
Xu Xiaoshou: "..."
He didn't expect this answer.
"But what if he really thinks like you and does this?" 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.
Admittedly, arbitrariness does still exist.
But there are actually quite a few despicable and dirty tricks!
For example, the entire process of forcing Xu into prostitution with evil intentions, and the eight people around him who knew him well...
Those who are close to Mo are evil, colluding with each other, 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 was put forward by the Eighth Sword Immortal
Bar!"
This time Xu Xiaoshou shook his head and laughed out loud.
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!
