One hundred and thirty seven chapters, withdraw the ladder
Chapter 137, Withdrawing the Ladder to Heaven
At the end of the discussion, whether it is a mule or a horse, it should be led out for a ride. Originally, the state of secret cultivation needs to be demonstrated, otherwise who knows whether you have that skill? Launching the secret formation with Fairy Yueying in front of the world, naturally
It is a great honor, and it will even become a role model for the younger generation of masters, but if something goes wrong and fails, it will be a big loss if you can’t step down and mess up the twelfth-year "ancestral worship to the earth spirit hub" ceremony.
It won't end well.
The best way to demonstrate is to try each other's techniques and learn from each other. This is of course not a life-and-death fight, just like the dismantling of moves by martial arts practitioners. Both the shooter and the bystanders can confirm their experience and see the exquisite methods of various factions.
It was also a rare opportunity to observe. As soon as Han Zhizi said this, everyone almost unanimously agreed, especially the sects that had nothing to do with themselves were the loudest. Everyone wanted to watch the fun, and it was almost a bit of a boo.
When Xiang Xiaoli saw this scene, he coughed and said: "This is a very good idea. It's just about proving the gains and losses. Don't hurt the harmony. Just demonstrate to each other. There is no need to tell the winner." Then he continued.
He turned around and said to his niece: "Yinghua, your level of secret magic is already above mine. You should have the discernment to identify who is suitable for activating the Heavenly Secret Formation. If everyone has this level of cultivation, then invite one of them to try out the magic."
Man, I am grateful to everyone."
After speaking and waving her hands, a female disciple came forward with a tray in her hand. The tray contained six identical swallow-tailed double amethysts. This kind of mineral crystal is very special. It has the texture of amethyst stone and is also swallow-tailed.
The structure of twin crystals combines the physical properties and formation uses of both. It is rarely seen. At least you have never seen one. It seems that Xiang Jia has been prepared for it.
One was given to each of the six young talents to show that there was no partiality. It would be beneficial before taking any action. The six people were very happy and thanked each other in return. This is already very generous to Xiang Jia! Although the secret mineral crystal is precious and difficult to
However, after all, it can be mined manually, so it is not a priceless treasure. Different crystals also have different values. If you spend money to buy it according to the usual rules, such a swallow-tailed double amethyst costs more than 300,000, which is equivalent to giving a car to one person.
What a nice car.
Except for You Fang, a "silly boy" who doesn't understand the market, everyone present was amazed, secretly thinking that Xiang Xiaoli was really willing to spend money! No matter what, Xiang Yinghua could only ask one person to launch the big formation together, and Xiang Xiaoli
This act of courtesy is tantamount to showing goodwill to the six major sects. These people present should have no worries about food and drink, but they are not all rich and powerful. The gifts are heavy enough, and it is natural for people to accept them happily without having to refuse.
But Xiang Xiaoli didn't suffer any loss. By taking advantage of him, it would be like having a good relationship to talk and do things with. It would be much more convenient for any future affairs, cooperation or business. If nothing happens to these six young students,
, they will all be in charge of a sect in the future, and they may not see these benefits by then. If you want to make friends, it is best to invest now.
Xiang Xiaoli didn't say "don't hurt people" just now, he only said "don't hurt the harmony" because the secret technique of Feng Shui is different from fists, feet, swords and guns. In principle, it is not a fighting technique to hurt people. If it is not about life and death,
If they get entangled, they are just demonstrating their cultivation state to each other, and there is really no need to hurt anyone.
How can we take action without hurting the harmony? Young people are all competitive. What if they get angry because of a fight for face? The elders of each faction are telling their disciples to pay attention to some words of propriety, and the expressions of several young people are obviously eager to try.
What I said just now is clear. After the trial and discussion, Fairy Yueying will invite one of them to jointly launch the secret formation. They are all the pride of the family, who can't be embarrassed?
At this time, the Nine-Star Sect's no-stick advocate spoke up: "Zhang has a good suggestion. Not long after Mr. Rand returned from overseas, he helped the Diezhang Sect to clean up the family, and killed the rebels for our Jiuxing Sect. I and other juniors admired it very much, but
It's a pity that I couldn't see the senior's action with my own eyes. It's better to let the six junior disciples take turns to ask Mr. Rand for advice.
In this case, we can not only see the extraordinary methods of the senior masters of the younger generation, but also ask Mr. Rand to point out the gains and losses of the younger generations of each sect, without harming the harmony between the talents of each sect, wouldn't everyone be happy?"
Just this sentence, a large number of people cheered and clapped their hands in agreement. The reasons for everyone's agreement were different. Most of them really wanted to see the methods of "Malander" and how many tricks this person had.
?A senior Fengmen person appeared out of nowhere, and he is still so young? Taoist Qianbei is famous and has a high status. It is difficult for others to question what he says, but it is always good to find an opportunity to find out the details.
There are also some people who think of the yangzi on the fire - roasting him!
There are people here who dislike You Fang and kill Sun Fengbo. He has gained fame, but has embarrassed the entire Jiuxing Sect, so he has to express his gratitude respectfully. He exposed the Xiang family's scandal in public and almost implicated his fellow Jianghu colleagues, but they can only respect him more.
And courtesy. Why are you so young? When I call you senior, you really become a senior. Seeing that you are the youngest person present, how can you be so good even if you started practicing kung fu from your mother's womb?
The six young masters present are all talented people in the world. They have been inherited from a famous family since childhood. Who is worse than the other? But their identities are different. They "ask" You Fang for advice. Even if they fall behind, there is no shame at all, and You
Fang "points out" to the juniors that if they lose without paying attention, they will be in serious trouble. If they lose six games in a row, they will never be able to shake off the prestige of their seniors, and it will be a joke if it spreads.
Although I thought so in my heart, my words were quite nice. I praised "Mr. Rand" so highly, as if he had a high status and was respected by others, and I sincerely asked him to give guidance to the younger generations. This is also a kind of threshold in the world, called "withdrawal"
"Ladder to Heaven".
The so-called "removing the ladder to heaven", in layman's terms, is to find an excuse to hold you up so high that you can't get down again, and then remove the ladder and find something to do. If your ability is not enough to bear such a high status, you will fall down.
It was a miserable failure. To put it more profoundly, this is the "flying tongs" of Machiavellian tactics described in "Guiguzi". Everyone likes to be praised, and this is a good method for underhanded people.
"Guiguzi" is a strange book. It can also be said to be a classic collection of martial arts. There is a word in modern Chinese called "Guimo", which comes from "Guiguo Chapter 7" and "Mo Chapter 7" in "Guiguzi"
"Eight". According to legend, Mr. Gui Gu had four students, Sun Bin, Pang Juan, Su Qin and Zhang Yi. Whether they were literary or martial arts, they were all the ancestors of the Yin people.
Shen Shen turned around and glared at Zhang Daozi, but the words had already been spoken and everyone agreed in unison, so he could no longer take them back.
The easiest way to defeat the Flying Clamp Technique is not to climb up the ladder. Before You Fang could say anything, Taoist Qianbei spoke first: "Why bother Brother Laurent? I haven't been around in the world for a long time, and I want to experience it. Let’s look at the younger generation’s methods. The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. The younger generations are to be feared, so why not let me do it.”
He stepped forward and took over the matter. If the situation was different, it would be difficult for others to refute his face, but today was different. Xiong Dawei immediately shook his head and said: "Elder Qianbei's words are wrong. Let's not join in the fun of young people's affairs." , otherwise these children may be too timid to use their hands and feet... Brother Rand is so heroic and courageous, and he understands righteousness. Everyone here admires him. It is even more rare to achieve such an achievement at such a young age. As an official, you should pay tribute to this man. Senior, please give me some advice."
As soon as the head of the Xiong family opened his mouth, he pushed You Fang forward again. He also had the intention of stumbling upon you. It was unclear whether his words were praise or criticism. He specifically emphasized "young people's matters", which was obviously trying to suppress You Fang's status as an elder. , but at the same time he spoke very nicely, praising You Fang like a flower, making it hard for people to find fault with him.
The Xiong family and the Xiang family have been on good terms for generations, which does not only mean that the two sect masters have a good relationship, but the disciples of the two families also have many friends in private. What happened yesterday, "Melander" was tantamount to offending some of the Xiang family's children. There is nothing to say in a smile, it can only express gratitude and respect. As Xiong Dawei, if he keeps his cool and lets You Fang get into trouble, some people in the Xiang family will not say anything, but secretly they will be grateful to him.
Moreover, some colleagues suspected that the person who was doing crystal stone transactions with Xiang Tianhua was a junior of the Xiong family. This made Xiong Dawei very uncomfortable but could not explain it. On the other hand, he found that the relationship between Xiang Yinghua and You Fang seemed unusual. A while ago, I personally went to investigate the murder of Sun Fengbo. Last night, I invited him to escort Hua Youxian away, but he came back so late.
Xiang Yinghua has always been known as the Moon Shadow Fairy. Due to his cultivation and status, he naturally has a high level of vision and is not easy to get close to. However, "Melander" relies on his status as a respected senior master and is the most able to confuse the girl's family. This pair The Xiong family's wishful thinking is not a good thing. It would be more beneficial if they could think of a way to make "Melande" embarrassed in public and drain the fire. So he took advantage of the situation and started a fire to set up the rice seedlings and continued to roast You Fang on the fire. .
Xiao Jiujiu of everyone, Xiang Xiaoli, as the host, certainly knew that what happened was unexpected. He didn't want You Fang to be unable to step down, but he couldn't directly dissuade him. After all, whether it was true or false, everyone was here. When complimenting "Mr. Rand", he couldn't refute his face in public, so he could only frown and said: "Brother Rand has just recovered from his injury. If it is inconvenient to take action, there is no need to force it."
He made it clear that it was all up to You Fang whether he would take action or not. At the same time, he made a good excuse that he had just been injured. If You Fang felt embarrassed, he could just go down the steps. Although it was a bit embarrassing, it was better than falling in front of everyone. good.
Everyone looked at You Fang, but You Fang smiled. He stood up with a smile, walked casually to the center of the open space in front of him, turned around and said, "I suffered a small injury the day before yesterday. It's okay. . Since all the colleagues are so enthusiastic, Mr. Mei is disrespectful and does not dare to give advice. Today, I take this opportunity to learn the methods of talents from different schools, and ask my colleagues to comment and discuss together... Who among you, who comes first?"
The atmosphere of the party reached a climax all of a sudden, and it was too late for Qianbei Taoist to stop him. You Fang left the stage first and then spoke, his tone was modest but full of confidence. Some people were surprised and secretly wondered if this Mr. Rand was
If you don't know much about the world of martial arts, can't you see that this is a way to "remove the ladder to heaven" and just try to get into it? After all, there are many people who have a good impression of him, but there is no way to dissuade him.
How could You Fang not understand the threshold of Jianghu? He plays the game better than anyone else! If the situation were different, he might have followed Xiang Xiaoli's words and walked down the stairs. When meeting in Jianghu, he would just smile and not think about it afterwards. The vanity of face is not important.
But it is not possible here and now. He is the successor of the contemporary Earth Master, and it is his first appearance in front of all the factions in the world. If today, even little carrot heads like Xiong Jushi and Liang Guanghai cannot be suppressed, how will he be able to suppress Xiong Dawei and Han Zhizi in the future?
Waiting for Laoluoyingzi?
No matter what method is not good, if you want him to stumble by playing on the threshold of the world, wait until the next life! If you want to play, play it thoroughly. There is not only one trick to deal with the "removal of the ladder".
You Fang stepped forward, who among the six young masters will go up first? Niu Jinxing wanted to go out, but was secretly held back by his father Niu Yuepo. After all, his opponent was a senior master, so it was better to let others go up first to find out the details.
Everyone looked at Xiong Jushi again. Xiong Dawei had already spoken out his words just now, asking his son to ask Mr. Rand for advice, so let him go first.
Upon seeing this scene, Xiong Dawei said to his son: "Jushi, please leave first and ask Mr. Rand for advice. Senior has just recovered from his injury. You must be careful in your actions."
Xiong Jushi replied: "Yes, I will definitely not hurt the harmony of my colleagues." Then he raised his fist towards Yinghua and said: "Junior sister Yinghua, please give me some advice on the gains and losses of Jushi's use of the secret technique." Then he walked to the middle of the field and left.
Fang stood facing each other about three feet away, clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Rand, please advise!"
The words of the father and son almost made You Fang's nose crooked with anger. I was a little more polite and asked my son to be careful in his actions, but my son's tone was firmly dominant and he didn't pay attention to his "senior" at all.
, instead he greeted Xiang Yinghua first.
You Fang is also a young man, and it is impossible not to be angry. He thought to himself: "You mean, are you afraid that I will steal the girl you want to pick up? Do you know how Xiang Zuohu died? How could I have such thoughts?
Is it easy for me, but you, the eldest young master, only want to be jealous! Can you still do something serious? If you want me to fall into trouble, if you don't let you fall into grandma's house today, my name will not be Melander. - Damn, I
It’s really not called Melander!”
He thought so in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm and said with a slightly sullen face: "Xiong Jushi, although I don't dare to think of myself as a senior, but in front of you, it is not suitable to take action first. You must see my reaction clearly when you take action, Mo
It would be a failure to live up to the good intentions of trial and error."
The hippopotamus yawned, what a loud tone! The implication is - I am here to give you face-saving guidance. You must see it clearly. Don't go on in confusion and gain nothing. Since the other party is not polite, it is right anyway.
You can brag, and you don’t have to pay taxes, so who can brag?
It sounds crazy, but it is also a mocking reminder, because Xiong Jushi did something wrong first. After he cupped his fists, he stood there waiting for the food to be served? Since he was asking for advice from his seniors, there was no reason to let You Fang make the first move.
?
Xiong Jushi's face turned red and he said, "It's the junior who is rude. Senior, be careful - draw the ground as a prison!"
Before he finished speaking, he took action, took out a six-clawed Huanglong Jade Ruyi, and waved it toward the sky. You Fang's figure suddenly blurred. The sound of wind came but he couldn't feel the wind blowing. The air around You Fang seemed to be spinning.
On the frosted glass, Xiong Jushi demonstrated the state of transferring the spiritual pivot. This is one of the most important purposes of the trial method. He used the very clever secret method of "drawing the ground as a prison".
As long as Yu Fang is trapped on the spot and cannot break free, a cup of tea is enough. Then he collects the secret method and says a few polite words. On the surface, there is no victory or defeat, but everyone can see what is going on. His
I have earned enough face, and I look quite cool and calm. I have made good plans and tried my best once I made a move.
You Fang was indeed waiting for him to make the first move, and for a moment he was trapped by "drawing the ground as a prison". He sensed that Xiong Jushi's cultivation level was similar to his, but his skills were much deeper. You Fang could not use the same secret technique like this
It is extremely powerful. As expected, it is due to its family background and hard work since childhood. It has taken a lot of advantages. At least this technique of drawing the ground to create a prison with one hand has never been learned by You Fang.
How long did Xiong Jushi trap You Fang? To be honest, he himself couldn't figure it out, because it was too short, definitely less than a second, probably only about half a second! As soon as he took action, his soul was in a trance.
, then the surrounding scenery changed, as if I was in an unfamiliar turbid mountain mist, and then my right shoulder went numb and I couldn't move. What I saw in front of me returned to normal, and I was still standing in the Songhe Garden.
There were red, blue, and yellow dust scattered in the sky. The six-clawed yellow dragon jade Ruyi in his hand was no longer there. Everyone around them had expressions of wonder and shock. Some junior disciples opened their mouths so fast that their jaws dropped.
It fell down, but it was not looking at him, but at "Mr. Rand" beside him. The six-clawed Huanglong Jade Ruyi was held in You Fang's hand.
You Fang patted him on the shoulder, as if he was very affectionate, and said with a smile: "Hold this Ruyi. Don't let it go easily. It would be a pity if it breaks."
Xiong Jushi's body went numb again, and he was suddenly able to move again. He subconsciously took the six-clawed Huanglong Jade Ruyi, with an expression as if he was sleepwalking. Before he could react, he heard his father Xiong Dawei shout from the outside: "Jushi, thank you for not thanking Mr. Rand too much."
Guidance!”
The so-called trial method discussion has ended. Looking back, what You Fang just said was not bragging at all. Xiong Jushi didn't see You Fang's reaction clearly after taking action, and went down in confusion. No one meant to hurt anyone, but
Everyone knows that according to this scene, if it is a life and death fight, Xiong Jushi will die even if he is a cat with nine lives. You Fang can kill him as many times as he wants.
Xiong Jushi took the magic weapon and heard his father's words, and then he completely regained consciousness. He realized what had happened, and quickly bowed to You Fang to express his thanks. He felt a chill on his back, and he was sweating for a moment, like
For a master like him, it doesn't matter if he fails in the attempt. The most terrifying thing is that he doesn't know how the other party makes a move. He is already in a certain death situation!
I won't beat you or scold you, I'll scare you to death! - This is You Fang's method.
Xiong Jushi didn't know what happened just now, but the experts outside the court could see it clearly. If there is a video, we can rewind it and carefully play back the half-second of "trial competition" frame by frame——
