31. Chapter 31
The first competition early the next morning was the Wenwen Competition, and Shen An easily won the first game.
However, to Shen An's regret, he did not meet any Buddhist cultivators, not even the bald heads who were suspected of Buddhist cultivators.
However, victory is victory, Shen An's good start not only increased the confidence of Wei Feihua and others, but even Zhao Hu, who originally only wanted to observe the "Ask Martial Arts" conference, was also excited by Shen An's victory.
"Brother An, you are really amazing!" Zhao Hu clapped his hands excitedly, his face flushed, and he looked down on the essay contest before: "I thought the competition would be boring, but it turned out to be so exciting!" I didn't even react, Brother An, you just said the other party speechless! How, exactly? ”
"For the sake of familiarity." Shen An chuckled, among the disciples of the family, he attaches great importance to the matter of "thinking and debate", and he has been a person in two lives, whether it is in Taixuan Dayan or in the Immortal Su family, in the "Asking Text", Shen An has received careful guidance from famous teachers of various factions.
Shen An explained to Zhao Hu: "One of the most important things in practice is 'cultivating the mind' - the so-called, the mind is thinking, and the thinking is arguing. Through debate, to think about the conclusion, and after reaching the conclusion, you can meditate and practice. If you can't even figure out why you are doing something, how can you convince yourself to keep doing it? ”
Zhao Hu's eyes turned twice, and he shook his head and said, "I don't understand, do you have to think about it when you do something?" There are some things that you have to do even if you don't want to do them, so what's the point of figuring them out? Zhao Hu kicked the stone on the side of the road and said, "Just like now, even if I come up with 10,000 reasons not to leave Brother An, don't you still want to send me away!" Anyway, you just like Xiao Anzi more than me! ”
An Puyu, who was innocently dragged in, looked at Zhao Hu with an unlucky face, he knew that Zhao Hu was in a bad mood, and he didn't call Shen An like usual, so he stuck out his tongue at Shen An.
Shen An laughed: "'Debate' is only a means and a tool, and 'argument' is the goal. Shen An nodded Zhao Hu's nose: "What you did just now is called 'sophistry', first changing the concept, then changing the topic, and finally referring to the deer as a horse." If you deliberately want to make me uncomfortable, you just say it on purpose, but you still believe in your own words, right? You see, if you can't think clearly, you will be like you now, you don't admit defeat in your mouth, and you are not happy in your heart, but you can't think of a reason, and you will pull Yu'er in, hurting others and yourself. ”
Zhao Hu didn't speak, obviously very unconvinced. Shen An sighed and said: "One, you know that I want you to leave for your safety, but you can't think of 10,000 reasons, this is a stealing concept." Second, sending you away is obviously a problem between you and me, but you also involve Yu'er, which is to change the topic. 3. Because I want to send you away, you think that I prefer Yu'er, which refers to the deer as a horse and hurts the innocent. Shen An touched Zhao Hu's head and said, "Don't have no conscience, do you know how much risk the master of abstinence, my uncle and I took in order to send you away safely?" ”
"Anyway, I can't say it, Brother An, you are!" Zhao Hu knew that he was acting rashly and felt a little guilty, but his heart was a lot warmer.
"This can't be done, you have to learn how to talk about me in the next two days." Shen An's face sank, and he paused and said: "Master Qing Yu will appear as a referee in the final of the Question Contest, I will try my best to lead the opponent to sophistry, and when the time comes, I will pretend to be refuted by the other party, once I make a hint, you will immediately take over my reasoning with the other party, so as to attract the attention of Master Qing Yu." ”
Zhao Hu was surprised: "Why? Didn't you say that you had already agreed with Master Qingyu, just pretend to accept me as a disciple? ”
Shen An shook his head: "Right now, the Demon Domain and the Mortal Realm are tense, and the disciples of the Mortal Realm are staring at countless pairs of eyes, if Master Qingyu inexplicably has an extra disciple by his side, it will definitely arouse suspicion and secretly investigate your identity." It's better to appear in front of the public, you appear as my maid, and with your speculative talent in the essay contest, you will attract the attention of Master Qingyu and recruit him as a disciple. In this way, if a qiē is placed on the bright side, it will not attract attention. ”
"This ...... Can this really work? "Zhao Hu has a kinship.
"Remember, the most dangerous places are often the safest places." Shen An said with a stern face.
The way to conceal the stain is to divert the gaze with a larger piece of discoloration. As for how to hide, Shen An, who was constantly fleeing in his previous life, has a deep understanding of this.
"Still no! No, no, no, no! So many people are watching! It's a shame! Zhao Hu covered his face and exclaimed in a low voice: "I'm not Brother An, I can't do it, I really can't do it!" Remembering that Shen An was under the watchful eyes of so many people before, he could still speak skillfully and confidently with his opponent, Zhao Hu thought that he couldn't do it at all.
"Is face important, or is life important?" Shen An poked Zhao Hu's head and said with a smile: "It's okay, I've tested you a few times before, but you didn't realize it, isn't the answer quite good?" In the past two days, I will teach you the mantra of speculation, and when it comes to the finals, I will make gestures to remind you that with me, you don't have to be afraid of anything. ”
"That's right, Brother An is so powerful, Sister Fox, as long as you listen to Brother An, there will be no problem." An Puyu nodded desperately: "My mother said, Sister Fox, you are so smart, smarter than me, so you must be fine." ”
"What's the use of being smarter than you! It's everyone smarter than you! Zhao Hu was unforgiving, but his heart was a lot more stable. Shen An saw that Zhao Hu had the courage to regain his confidence, so he took the opportunity to explain to Zhao Hu the important precautions for speculation in the "Essay Contest", Zhao Hu listened carefully and couldn't help nodding.
The three of them said as they walked, but the front suddenly became agitated, and before Shen An could react, they were crossed by a few scattered cultivators behind them. Those people hurriedly said "borrowed", and ran excitedly towards the Tianyi Gambling House in front of Fang.
"What's going on up ahead?" Almost knocked down by a running Sanxiu, Shen An hurriedly grabbed him and asked. The reckless Sanxiu who bumped into Shen An was flushed, and said excitedly: "The result of the first martial arts question is out!" The second young master of the Red Lotus Shen family is facing the eldest son of the Iron Pen Ma family! The Shen family won! I've made a lot of money! ”
Shen An was slightly surprised, Ma Changyu was the strongest and most optimistic monk in this year's Wenwu Conference, and Shen Ping won like this?
He knew that Shen Ping would definitely win, but Ma Changyu was not an easy monk to deal with. Shen An originally thought that if Shen Ping and Ma Changyu faced each other, the two would at least have a draw first, and the real winner might be a result in the "Jiawu" match.
However, Shen Ping met Ma Changyu in the first game? Actually won?
Could it be that something stimulated Shen Ping? That little liar's cultivation in this life is actually a higher level than in his previous life!
Shen Anxin thought about it, once Ma Changyu was not there, I am afraid that there would be few monks who could challenge Shen Ping in the Wenwu Conference.
- No wonder they are so excited, tonight, no, at this moment, in the Tianyi Gambling House, the odds of the Ask Martial Arts Conference are going to be overhauled.
"What's the big deal!" Seeing that the scattered cultivator didn't even care about apologizing to Shen An, and desperately drilled into the gambling house, Zhao Hu stomped his feet, pulled Shen An and said unconvinced: "Brother An, if you appear, you will definitely be able to win!" ”
Shen An frowned, thinking about his chances of winning against Ma Changyu. If you are allowed to use artifact treasures, you may not lose to him. However, the sword weapons used in the martial arts competition are all designated by the Song family, and the competition is that the monk's Taoist cultivation is high, and there is no way to cheat. Although he is already in the late stage of foundation building, if he faces Ma Changyu, who has already married Dan, it is indeed difficult to decide who will kill the deer.
"Brother An won the first victory of the 'Wenwen' competition, which is also very powerful." An Puyu said to Zhao Hu with an angry face: "As Elder Su said, a hundred years ago, there was a person named Shen Tianyuan, who was the 'Ask Wen' contest to persuade the Demon Domain Buddhism to share the same hatred with the mortal realm Buddhism, and forced the Demon Clan to return to the Su family's water realm. Shen Tianyuan is the ancestor of Brother An, so Brother An is also very powerful! ”
Shen An smiled bitterly, the demon clan retreated to the Dividing Water Realm, although Shen Tianyuan was the most prominent on the bright side, but there were too many other reasons involved, and he didn't dare to take credit for the ancestors. However, seeing that An Puyu, this kid, was not very old, but he was on his side in everything, Shen Anxin was happy, so he didn't bother to correct it, but just pinched his little face with a smile.
However, behind Shen An, Wu Yi's rude voice sounded: "Back then, the demon clan would retreat, and it was bought by our Ma family monks who fought to the front line and shed blood!" When did this become the credit of your Shen family? ”
