Chapter 666 Seeking common ground while reserving differences
Indeed, as Wu Sheng said, Huang Jiu Mo did not dare to take action.
Wu Sheng was unwilling to bear the consequences of killing Huang Jiu Mo until he was not ready or necessary.
The same is true for Huang Jiu Mo. Killing a follower and killing a walking person are two completely different concepts. If Wu Sheng was killed by Huang Jiu Mo in front of Skull Mountain, Huang Jiu Mo has reason to believe that he is likely to be killed.
The Skeleton Patriarch was handed over to the Academy, otherwise what awaited both sides would be a war, and Skeleton Mountain was not ready for a war.
The actions just now were Huang Jiu Mo's test of Wu Sheng, the new disciple. One was to test Wu Sheng's cultivation level, and the other was to test Wu Sheng's attitude.
The former made him understand that Wu Sheng's cultivation level was much higher than he thought. When he casually resolved his ice demon Gu, he seemed extremely relaxed, not at all immature as he had just entered the realm of refining the void.
The latter made him very uneasy. Based on his experience, people who can still smile when the situation is tense are either people who have not understood their situation, or people who are confident. This Sun Fengxing cannot understand the situation.
Someone? Obviously not.
After thinking about all these things in an instant, Huang Jiu Mo decided to use the steps Wu Sheng came up to to exit, so he responded: "What did Sun Fengxing say?"
Just now, he called Sun Wu by his real name, but now he calls him "Sun Fengxing". This is Huang Jiu Mo's subconscious improvement in his attitude towards Wu Sheng.
Wu Sheng had already found a place, walked to the side and sat down on the Niu Stone, and waved to him: "Come down, let's talk."
Huang Jiu Mo was silent for a moment, then finally turned over and sat down opposite Wu Sheng. Just looking at his sitting posture, Wu Sheng even doubted whether he was an ape who entered the practice of cultivation and transferred from an ape demon to a demon.
Of course, it is not easy to pry into the other party's privacy. This group of evil heretics have unpredictable temperaments, and many of them are not even wealthy. They may offend the other party with just one sentence, which is not the result you want.
Wu Sheng took out the teacup and teacup from the storage ring, and started making tea on the Wo Niu Stone. The alchemist made the tea very quickly - at least he boiled the water very quickly, and the tea boiled in an instant. After Wu Sheng finished brewing
, and then signaled to Huang Jiu Mo: "Old Huang, you were very good at freezing the ice in your hand just now. Come on, let the tea drop down and stabilize it."
Huang Jiu Mo frowned and said, "What kind of tea should you drink? Why not drink alcohol?" Still following Wu Sheng's request, he cooled down the boiling tea.
Wu Sheng said: "It's not that Mr. Sun looks down on you evil heretics, it's really that good and evil are incompatible. If word spreads that I drink with you, it will hinder Mr. Sun's reputation."
Huang Jiu Mo scratched his cheek and said displeasedly: "In that case, there's no need to drink tea, just tell me what you have to say!"
Wu Sheng held up a cup and invited him: "You can't drink alcohol, but you can drink tea. The so-called friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. Although you and I are incompatible with good and evil, we can still be friends between gentlemen. Come on, come on, try my craftsmanship."
He is a master of alchemy and his skills in making tea are top-notch. Hurry up, why don't you give me some face after I've already done it? I did it. Hey? What's going on? Be careful. It's only right to waste too much!"
Huang Jiu Mo insisted not to drink and tried to throw the tea cup, but every time he threw it out, Wu Sheng picked it up in the air without spilling any water. The contest between the two did not mean that Huang Jiu Mo failed. These flowers
It doesn't mean that Wu Sheng's methods are better than Huang Jiu Mo's, but it at least shows that Wu Sheng is a respectable opponent.
So Huang Jiu Mo finally drank it.
After drinking a cup of tea, Wu Sheng said: "I am here this time. I need to reiterate to you that this trip is not to attack Skull Mountain. Please don't misjudge. Sun's purpose is to capture the criminals who were rescued by you.
"
Huang Jiu Mo said: "Skull Mountain will never allow the academy to come over and arrest people at will. This is what I want to declare to Sun Fengxing."
Wu Sheng kept nodding: "I know, I know, Sun knows, this is where the differences between us lie. It's okay to have differences, it's normal. I heard that those who are happy are the same, those who are polite are different, and those who are the same are related to each other.
, Respect each other when there are differences, stay when happiness prevails, and leave when etiquette prevails. What do you mean? Where we have differences, we can leave them alone and ignore them. Where there are similarities, we reach a consensus and we will handle it accordingly in the future."
Huang Jiumo asked: "What consensus?"
Wu Sheng said: "For example, the followers of my academy will not cause trouble near your Skull Mountain, and your Void Demonic Cultivators at Skull Mountain will not cause trouble in our Central Plains."
Huang Jiu Mo shouted: "Don't cause trouble in my wilderness! It doesn't stop at Skull Mountain!"
Wu Sheng smiled and said: "The concept of barbarism is very big, and the scope is very large. You can't eat it. What is barbarism? From where to where is barbarism? Can you explain these questions clearly? Look, you can't say
Clearly. How about this, if we don’t cause trouble within the other party’s sphere of influence? Can this consensus be reached?”
Huang Jiumo thought for a moment and said, "Okay."
Wu Sheng nodded: "Let's talk about differences. It's difficult to reach consensus with differences, so let him go and do whatever you want. For example, if my monk from the academy robs people in your Skull Mountain, you won't be happy. In the same way, you demon cultivators
We are not happy to come to the hinterland of our Central Plains to commit trouble, so what should we do? Then just leave it alone and let each of you work according to his or her ability. If you find this situation, you can take action. If you have the ability to kill the monks from my academy, then you can kill them. We have the ability.
We will arrest you Skull Mountain Demon Cultivator, this is called letting it go."
Huang Jiu Mo glanced in the direction of Lutou Mountain, and seemed to want to get up, but was stopped by Wu Sheng: "Wait a minute, although we let it go, we can find some consensus. You Void Refining Demon cultivators are not allowed to take action against my academy monks.
I won’t take action against you Skull Mountain Demonic Cultivators either.”
Huang Jiu Mo immediately said: "It's not fair! If you don't take action in the pursuit of the academy, then it's better to say that you want to replace all my wild Void Refining Demon Cultivators and don't take action. Isn't it just a fool's dream?"
Wu Sheng said: "Then let's change it. The two of us have reached an agreement. I won't do anything to your men, and you won't do anything to my men. The children will fight each other to death. Everything is up to them. How about that?"
Huang Jiumo thought for a moment and nodded: "This is only fair."
Wu Sheng stretched out his palm: "The consensus has been reached, high five as an oath."
The two slapped each other three times.
Wu Sheng chuckled: "Drink tea, drink tea!"
Huang Jiu Mo shook his head: "It doesn't taste good. Come to Skull Mountain next time and I'll treat you to a taste of Skull Mountain's blood wine."
Wu Sheng refused: "I don't want to drink that stuff. It sounds like the stuff of evil heretics. Don't corrupt me."
Huang Jiu said with a demonic voice: "The blood of the blood tree is not the blood of a non-human blood beast!"
While they were talking, the movement in the direction of Lutou Mountain gradually became smaller and quieter immediately. Wu Sheng smiled and said: "Old Huang, it seems that the results have been achieved. Let's talk about it first. You and I have reached an agreement, no matter who wins or loses."
The defeat is all theirs."
Huang Jiu Mo nodded and said: "This is natural. Let's do it today. I'm going to Lutoushan to visit."
As soon as Huang Jiu Mo left, Yong Zhi and a group of people arrived behind him. Su Li loudly reported: "Follow, we succeeded!"
Xue Zhong and others laughed loudly: "How happy!"
Yong Zhi threw a human head at Wu Sheng's feet just to leave.
Wu Sheng praised: "Well done, you all have made great contributions. I will report it and go back to ask for credit for you!"
Yong turned his head to look down the mountain in a certain direction, and said thoughtfully: "Who is that?" With so many people walking around, he was the only one who could sense a little of the Huang Jiu Mo's aura.
Wu Sheng smiled: "An uninvited guest, I just sent him away."
