Chapter 6: Talking on an equal footing for the time being
The speed of the flying sword was very slow and steady, and Ling Hu Tianzong signaled that Lu Linlan could hold his scabbard. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info is not like a gentleman, but a bit like a flower messenger.
As soon as she disappeared from everyone's eyes, Lu Linlan patted Ling Hu Tianzong on the shoulder and called a stop.
Ling Hu Tianzong stopped the flying sword and asked.
Lu Linlan said: "I seem to have offended Fang Xiyu just now, what if she takes revenge on me?"
It's a dangerous statement.
It's not that the content of the words is dangerous, but that when there is no one around, it is dangerous for the lower level to talk to the higher level. If a high-level cultivator is not satisfied, a low-level cultivator will be destroyed.
Of course, the Yanlong Sect also has regulations such as "no cannibalism in the same sect", but that kind of regulation is too binding.
When the two sides are on par with each other, the fight lasts for a long time and there are many clues left, so it is possible to be traced. And if Ling Hu Tianzong wants to kill Lu Linlan, he will definitely kill it in seconds, and there will be absolutely no evidence left. Door rules are not constrained.
So be careful what you say.
Lu Linlan was very careful about what he said just now. Because the reason why Lu Linlan offended Fang Xiyu was because he completed the snake catching task of Ling Hu Tianzong. To solve this trouble, Hu Tian is duty-bound.
However, Linghu Tianzong didn't want to solve this trouble. Because in Ling Hutian's heart, Lu Linlan has not had any weight.
Ling Hu Tianzong wanted to say that Fang Xiyu was not the one who would repay him...... But I just broke up, and it's inconvenient to boast like this.
Therefore, Ling Hu Tianzong asked rhetorically: "What do you say?"
Lu Linlan groaned for a moment and said, "Let's go back quietly and eavesdrop on what they are saying." If Fang Xiyu cared about other things, he wouldn't retaliate against me for a while. After a long time, I believe that she will forget about me, the first layer of Qi training, to the clouds. β
"That's right, that's it!" Ling Hu Tianzong played a few tricksβpresumably related to concealmentβand then flew back to the ground with the imperial sword.
Approaching the building of the deacon's hall, he landed and found another corner to hide.
ββ
Yes, what Lu Linlan wants is to come back and eavesdrop.
The reason why she wanted to come back to eavesdrop was naturally because Lu Linlan did not have enough information.
The lack of information means that, according to the information already available, it is not enough to convert Linghu Tianzong into a backer.
ββ
If Lu Linlan directly asked for eavesdropping, I don't know if Linghu Tianzong would agree.
There is indeed a kind of person in the world who thinks that whatever they do, they must be above board. Eavesdropping or something, no need to talk!
Therefore, Lu Linlan first made a general request that most of the fox Tianzong did not want to agree to, and put his life on the line.
Then as soon as Lu Linlan lowered the price, Ling Hu Tianzong agreed.
ββ
ββ¦β¦ Facts have proved that it is Miao Xiang, who knows that Xiyu is afraid of snakes, and still encourages Xiyu to come forward, isn't it Miao Xiang?"
"What if it's me! I'm encouraging, I'm coming up with ideas! Everyone knows that Xiyu is infatuated, but Senior Brother Linghu is still a little hesitant. If you don't do something, how can you make progress? If you insist on saying encouragement as agitation, it is the so-called sin of wanting to add to it, and there is no excuse for it!"
"Enough, enough! You are kind, you have been encouraging Xiyu to pursue Senior Brother Linghu. But who was it just now that he said that he had already tried one nephew, and he only needed to try one more nephew to prove that most people can overcome fear?
"What's wrong with me! Senior Brother Tang is really a mirror, only looking at others, not himself. You said earlier: Everyone, everyone, it's too extreme, it's still the majority, the very few. What I said next was just an extension of what your Senior Brother Tang said. Is there a sentence that is out of scope?"
ββ
When she heard the first sentence, the information that Lu Linlan needed had already been completed.
But Lu Linlan doesn't want to listen to it anymore, which doesn't mean that Hu Tianzong doesn't want to listen anymore.
So Lu Linlan waited a little longer.
Seeing that Linghu Tianzong didn't react for a long time, Lu Linlan made a gesture to leave.
When Linghu Tianzong saw the gesture, he immediately took Lu Linlan away.
It seems that Linghu Tianzong didn't want to hear it, or rather, Linghu Tianzong didn't care about the content of the overheard words. So much better.
ββ
Linghu Tianzong took Lu Linlan to his cave mansion.
Then Ling Hu Tianzong took out the spirit stone.
Lu Linlan raised her palm and pushed, "Can you change to pay in installments, ten spirit stones per month, just one year?"
This is naturally an unreasonable request.
Because it was very ridiculous, Lu Linlan believed that the other party would not be angry.
From an economic point of view, the total amount of installment payments will naturally be greater than the lump sum payments due to the presence of interest. But if it is much greater, it is usury.
Lu Linlan's installment payment requirement is equivalent to ultra-usury.
Sure enough, Ling Hu Tianzong smiled, and then asked rhetorically: "How many months are there in a year?"
"Oh, twelve months is one hundred and twenty spirit stones," Lu Linlan still didn't take the spirit stones, and muttered in a low voice, "But what to do......" and then changed to a loud voice, "Yes, I'll sell you something!"
Lu Linlan ostensibly meant that what she needed was ten spirit stones a month and stick to it for a year. Then Lu Linlan was going to sell something to offset the difference.
In fact, it is not only a question of the difference, but also a problem of trouble. Even if Ling Hu Tianzong dealt with one hundred and fifty spirit stones, he would not be willing to change to ten pieces per month and insist on it for a year.
"Sit!" ordered Hu Tianzong to give up his seat. This means that he has the leisure to talk nonsense with Lu Linlan.
This is actually just the result of Lu Linlando's words a few words, and has nothing to do with the content of the words.
ββ
is willing to talk nonsense with Lu Linlan, which means that at this moment, Ling Hu Tianzong temporarily treats Lu Linlan as an equal person, which means that Lu Linlan can no longer talk on thin ice, and no longer worry about being killed by Ling Hu Tianzong if he is not careful.
In fact, such a transformation is well-founded.
The high-level monks in the world of immortal cultivation do treat low-level monks and mortals as ants. But being an ant is not really the same as an ant. Not to mention that high-level monks originally came from low-level monks and mortals, but only that if there were no low-level monks and mortals, where would the superiority of high-level monks come from?
Therefore, the high-ranking monks treat people as human beings, but at least subconsciously understand that the other party is human.
After talking a few more words and getting a little familiar, it is very easy to awaken that subconscious mind without being offended without any stakes.
ββ
After sitting down, Ling Hu Tianzong also made two cups of tea.
Whether it's spiritual tea or not, Lu Linlan doesn't know.
Linghu Tianzong asked, "What do you want to sell me?"
"Uncle Shi actually wants to ask, what can I have, Uncle Shi, you can use it?" Lu Linlan said.
In fact, Linghu Tianzong only meant literally, and Lu Linlan deliberately pulled it in a complicated direction.
Lu Linlan continued: "Generally speaking, the most precious things for a low-level Qi cultivator like me are often worthless in the eyes of Uncle Shi. Of course, there are occasional cases. In other words, maybe I can really get something that Uncle Shi can use.
"But, even if I can get it, Uncle Shi, won't you rob it? Why do you need to buy it with spirit stones!"
Lu Linlan stopped talking and didn't leave a conversation. It is equivalent to the common "hehe" in chatting many years ago.
This pause is time for Ling Hu Tianzong to think.
Talk, be relaxed. Can't be as quick as "as long as 998".
ββ
After a while, Linghu Tianzhong said, "You've finished speaking, but I still don't understand what you mean." β
Literally there are two meanings. The first is that the words have been finished by Lu Linlan, and Ling Hu Tianzong has nothing to say; the second is that Lu Linlan has finished speaking, but Ling Hu Tianzong does not understand what Lu Linlan means. Among them, the latter has two meanings: Hu Tianzong's ability to understand and Lu Linlan's ability to express himself.
Obviously, the other meanings were ignored by Hu Tianzong, and the only meaning left was: Lu Linlan had a problem with her ability to express herself.
Actually, none of this is a problem.
In fact, at this moment, Lu Linlan was adjusting the rhythm of her speech.
To put it simply, it's about slowing down the pace of speech. Because the content of the later conversation will involve thinking. If Ling Hu Tianzhong didn't think about it and dealt with it directly, it would probably not achieve the effect that Lu Linlan expected.
ββ
Lu Linlan said: "Uncle Shi, forgive me. I mean, what I'm going to sell to Uncle Shi is what Uncle Shi needs for a long time. Because I want it in the future, Uncle Shi can't grab it. Robbed, only once. If you buy it, you will do it again and again. β
"Could it be an elixir?" this time Ling Hu Tianzong answered quickly.
In fact, with Lu Linlan's cultivation, it was impossible to sell the Dan Fu Array. Ling Hu Tianzhong only mentioned the pill, naturally because of his father's relationship.
"It's not a physical object, it's a character analysis," Lu Linlan said, "As for whether it's worth it or not, and how much it's worth, it's up to Uncle Shi to decide." β
"Oh?" said Linghu Tianzong, "you and I have different circles. I don't know your friend, and neither do you, my friend. Of course, you saw them at the gate of the deacon's hall just now. Could it be that in the short time you caught the snake just now, you knew and recognized them?"
"Try it, Uncle Shi will know," Lu Linlan said, "After trying, if Uncle Shi thinks it's valuable, he will buy it with the spirit stone, and if Uncle Shi thinks it's not valuable, let's talk for a while." Anyway, Uncle Shi, you won't suffer. β
ββ
It was Fang Xiyu who haunted Hu Tian's heart, but he couldn't tell what it was like. Therefore, he very much hoped that Lu Linlan would analyze Fang Xiyu. So he asked, "Well, who do you want to analyze?"
Lu Linlan smiled apologetically and said, "Let me ask the name first, the person who entered the deacon's hall just now, except for you and Fang Xiyu, Senior Uncle, is the male named Tang Ruize, is the remaining female cultivator called Miao Xiang?"
"That's right, you have a good memory. β
"Then, can you please talk about these two people first?"
"Didn't you analyze it, why did you want me to say it first? Also, how can it be two people, not three people?" asked Ling Hu Tianzong. The difference between three people and two people is actually Fang Xiyu.
"I believe that Uncle Shi doesn't want to talk about Fang Xiyu, so I just ask Uncle Shi to talk about Miao Xiang and Tang Ruize. β
ββ
"No problem," Ling Hu Tianzhong said, "Tang Ruize, has been my good brother for many years. I won't talk about other things, just now, when I was there, his position was always the same as mine, and when I was away, he was obviously defending Fang Xiyu, and immediately still agreed with meβthat was what we overheard together. Therefore, Senior Brother Ruize is my good brother.
"Miao Xiang is a good sister of Fang Xiyu. In the past, she defended Fang Xiyu many times. For Fang Xiyu and me, she has also supported her many times. The same was true when you were there just now. What I didn't expect was that the Miao Xiang we overheard just now was not the same thing as the usual Miao Xiang at all. She didn't get together, as if she wanted to break up me and Fang Xiyu.
"By the way, because of eavesdropping, I recognized Miao Xiang. The idea of eavesdropping is yours, I can add thirty spirit stones to the original fifty spirit stones. β
ββ
"Finished?"
"That's it. β
"Okay, then it's time for me to say," Lu Linlan said, "Don't stop me, it's not okay if you don't say it." Because I want ten spirit stones a month and hold on for a year, you haven't agreed yet. Let's talk about Fang Xiyu first...... "Speaking of this, Lu Linlan made a stop gesture, "Tell you not to stop me, that's what you mean." I understand: You and Fang Xiyu just broke up, and Fang Xiyu is a pain in your heart, so you don't want to mention her. However, did you really break up with Fang Xiyu? I don't think I heard you or Fang Xiyu say anything about breaking up. β
Hearing this, Hu Tianzhong's spirits were lifted.
