Chapter 137, Removing the Ladder
At the end of the discussion, whether it is a mule or a horse or to be pulled out to slip away, originally, the secret method cultivation realm needs to be displayed, otherwise who knows if you have that skill? It is naturally a great honor to launch the Heavenly Machine Great Array with the Moon Shadow Fairy in front of the world's colleagues, and it will even become an example among the younger generation of masters, but if there is any mistake and no success, it will not be able to get off the stage and lose the personnel at that time, and it will not end well if you mess up the twelve-year "Ancestor Worship Ground Corpse" ceremony.
The best way to demonstrate is to try each other's methods, this is certainly not a life-and-death fight, just like the dismantling of the moves of people who practice martial arts, both the shooter and the bylookers can have a confirmed experience, and can see the exquisite methods of the various factions in the rivers and lakes, which is also a rare opportunity to observe. As soon as Han Zhizi said this, everyone almost unanimously agreed, especially those sects that had nothing to do with themselves were the loudest, and everyone wanted to see the excitement, which was a bit of a coaxing.
When Xiang Xiaoli saw this scene, he coughed and said: "This discussion is very good, it's just a gain or loss to be confirmed, don't hurt the harmony, just demonstrate to each other, and you don't have to distinguish the winner or loser." Then he turned to his niece and said: "Yinghua, your secret law realm is already above me, you should have the eye to distinguish who is suitable for launching the Heavenly Machine Great Array, if everyone has this cultivation, then invite one to be, the person who tried the law, I am grateful to the family." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a female disciple stepped forward with a tray in her hand, which contained six identical swallowtail double amethysts. This mineral crystal is very special, it is the texture of amethyst, and at the same time it is the structure of the swallowtail double crystal, which has both the surname and the use of the formation, which is usually rare, at least you Fang has not seen one, it seems that Xiang Jia has been prepared for a long time.
Each of the six young talents was given a piece, to show that they had no sense of partiality, and they were all very happy and thanked each other. Xiangjia is already very generous! Although the secret mineral crystal is precious and rare, it can be mined artificially after all, and it is not a priceless treasure. The value of different spars is also different, if you spend money to buy it according to the usual rules, such a swallowtail double amethyst will cost more than 300,000 yuan, which is equivalent to a person giving a good car.
Except for You Fang, a "stupid boy" who doesn't understand the market, everyone present was amazed, and secretly said in their hearts that they were really willing to pay for Xiaoli! In any case, Xiang Yinghua can only invite one person to jointly launch a big array, and Xiang Xiaoli's move is tantamount to showing favor to the six major factions. These people present should not be worried about eating and drinking, but they are not all rich and expensive, the gifts are heavy enough, and it is logical that people do not have to shirk and accept it.
But Xiang Xiaoli does not suffer a loss, and accepting his benefits is equivalent to having a friendship that is easy to talk and do, and it will be much more convenient to have anything, cooperation, and business in the future. These six young descendants, if nothing else, will be in charge of a sect in the future, and they may not be able to see these benefits at that time, and if they want to make friends, it is most appropriate to spend money now.
Xiang Xiaoli didn't say "Don't hurt people" just now, only said, "Don't hurt harmony", because the secret art of feng shui is different from fists, feet, knives and guns, in principle, it is not a fighting technique to hurt people, if it is not entangled in life and death, it is just to demonstrate to each other the realm of cultivation, and it is indeed not necessary to hurt people.
How to make a move without hurting the peace? Young people are all competitive, what if they fight for the sake of face, the elders of each sect are telling their disciples to pay attention to some words, and the expressions of several young people are obviously eager to try. What I said just now is clear, after trying the method, the Moon Shadow Fairy will open his mouth and invite one of them to jointly launch the Heavenly Machine Great Array, they are all the pride of the family, who is not good at face?
At this time, the Nine Star Sect did not have a staff to advocate Daozi to speak: "Zhang has a good suggestion, Mr. Rand returned from overseas not long ago, help the Diezhang faction clean up the door and kill the rebellion for my Nine Star Sect, I and other juniors are very admired, but I regret that I couldn't witness the demeanor of the seniors, it is better to let the six junior disciples take turns to ask Mr. Rand for advice."
In this way, not only can we see the extraordinary methods of the younger generation of seniors, but also can ask Mr. Rand to guide the younger generations of each faction in the cultivation gains and losses, and the talents of each faction will not hurt the harmony, wouldn't everyone be happy? ”
Just this sentence, there was a large number of people who applauded and applauded one after another. The reasons for the crowd to agree are different, most of them really want to see the means of "Melander", and want to see how many brushes this person has? Where did a Fengmen senior appear, still so young? Qianbei Dao people have a high reputation and high status, and it is difficult for others to question what they say, but it is always good to find an opportunity to find out the details.
There are also some people who think of the fire rack - roast him!
There are people here who see that You Fang is not pleasing to the eye, and he killed Sun Fengbo, he gained fame, but he made the entire Nine Star Sect lose face, and he had to respectfully express his gratitude; exposed the scandal of the Xiang family in public, and almost implicated the same people in the rivers and lakes, but he could only be more respectful and courteous to him. Why are you so young? Call you a senior is really a senior, look at the age is the youngest one present, even if you start practicing from your mother's womb, how smart can you be?
The six young masters present are all talents in the world, and they have been inherited by the family since childhood, who is much worse than whom? But the identities are different, they "ask" from the You Fang, even if they fall behind, they are not ashamed at all, and the You Fang "instructs" the younger generation to lose if they are not careful, then the heel will be big. If you lose six games in a row, you will no longer be able to shake the prestige of your predecessors, and it will be a joke to spread it.
Although I thought so in my heart, the words were quite good, and I held "Mr. Rand" high, as if he was in a high position and admired, and I very sincerely asked him to guide his juniors. This is also a kind of threshold of rivers and lakes, called "withdrawing the ladder".
The so-called "removal of the ladder", in layman's terms, is to find an excuse to hold you high, not good to come down again, and then remove the ladder and then find something, if your ability is not enough to bear such a high status, the head will be planted very miserably. To put it a little deeper, this is the power trick "flying hoop" described in "Guiguzi", everyone likes to be praised, this is a good means for Yin people.
"Guiguzi" is a strange book, it can also be said to be a classic book of rivers and lakes, there is a word in modern Chinese called "speculation", which speaks of "Guiguzi" in the "seventh chapter" and "eighth chapter". Legend has it that Mr. Guigu has four students, Sun Bin, Pang Juan, Su Qin, and Zhang Yi, whether they are literary or martial, they are all the ancestors of the Yin people.
Shen Shen turned his head and glared at Zhang Daozi, but the words had already been spoken, and everyone echoed in unison, and they couldn't take it back.
If you want to break the flying fetter technique, the easiest way is not to climb up the ladder, and before You Fang could speak, the Thousand Cup Daoist spoke first: "Why bother Brother Lawland?" Poor Dao has not walked the rivers and lakes for a long time, and I also want to see the means of the younger generations, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the future is terrifying, so let me come. ”
He came forward to take the matter over, if it was a different occasion, it would be really 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, the affairs of young people, let's not join in the fun, otherwise these children may be afraid that they will not be able to show their hands." …… Brother Rand's chivalrous courage is well understood, and everyone present admires him, and it is even more rare to have such achievements at such a young age. ”
As soon as the head of the Xiong family opened his mouth, he pushed You Fang to the front, he also had the meaning of making a stumbling block, and he couldn't tell whether it was praise or depreciation, and deliberately emphasized the "young man's thing", obviously suppressing You Fang's elder status, but at the same time, he said it very well, praising You Fang like a flower, so that people couldn't find fault.
The Xiong family and the Xiang family have been friends for generations, not only because the two sect masters have a good relationship, but also because the disciples of the two families have made friends in private. Yesterday's incident, "Melander" is also equivalent to offending some of the children of the Xiang family, although Xiang Xiaoli is not good at saying anything, he can only express gratitude and respect. As for Xiong Dawei, if he quietly let You Fang plant a fight, some people in the Xiang family will secretly be grateful to him if they don't say it.
And there are like-minded suspicions, and there are juniors of the Xiong family who do spar transactions with Xiang Tianhua in private, which makes Xiong Dawei very uncomfortable but can't explain it. On the other hand, he found that Xiang Yinghua's friendship with You Fang seemed to be unusual, and he personally went around a while ago to investigate the killing of Sun Fengbo, and invited him to escort Hua Youxian away last night, and only came back so late.
Xiang Yinghua is known as the Moon Shadow Fairy, and because of his cultivation and identity, his vision is naturally very high, and he is not easy to approach. But "Melander", with his respected predecessor status, can confuse the girl's family the most, which is not a good thing for the Xiong family's wishful thinking. If you find a way to make "Melander" embarrassed in public and make a fool of yourself, it will be more advantageous. So he also took advantage of the situation to set fire to the seedlings and continued to roast You Fang on the fire.
Everyone's Xiao Jiujiu, as the host, Xiang Xiaoli of course also knew that things were unexpected, he didn't want You Fang to be unable to get off the stage, but he couldn't directly dissuade him, after all, whether it was sincere or fake, everyone was complimenting "Mr. Rand", he couldn't refute his face in public, so he had to frown and said: "Brother Rand is recovering from his injury, if it is inconvenient to make a move, there is no need to force it." ”
He said that it was all up to You Fang to make a move, and at the same time he found a good excuse, that is, he had just been injured, and if You Fang felt embarrassed, he would go down the steps, although he was a little embarrassed on the face, but it was better than planting his head in public.
Everyone's eyes looked at You Fang, but You Fang smiled, he stood up with a smile, walked to the center of the open space in front of him very casually, turned around and said, "I was injured a little bit before, and it is not in the way." Since your colleagues are so enthusiastic, Mei someone is disrespectful, and he doesn't dare to give advice, so he will take this opportunity to understand the means of talents from all factions, and invite colleagues to comment and learn together. …… How many, who comes first? ”
The atmosphere of the party arrived at the ** all of a sudden, and it was too late for the Qianbei Daoist to stop it, You Fang was the first to go down and then speak, his tone was modest but full of confidence. Some people were surprised, and secretly said in their hearts that this Mr. Rand doesn't know much about the ways of the rivers and lakes, can't he see that this is a means of "withdrawing the ladder", and he will drill into the next set? After all, there are many people who have a good impression of him, but they can't be dissuaded.
How can you not understand the threshold of the rivers and lakes? He plays better than anyone else! If he had changed the occasion, he might have gone down the stairs if he saluted to the smile, and when he met on the rivers and lakes, he laughed and didn't think about it later, and his vanity was not important. But here and now, it is not impossible, he is a contemporary earth teacher, and he made his first appearance in front of all factions in the rivers and lakes, if even Xiong Jushi and Liang Guanghai can't be suppressed today, how can they be suppressed in the future, such as Xiong Dawei and Han Zhizi?
What kind of means are not good, play the threshold of the rivers and lakes and want him to be planted, wait for the next life! If you want to play, you can play thoroughly, and there is not only one trick to deal with the "ladder of withdrawal".
You Fang stood up, who of the six young masters went first? Niu Jinxing wanted to go out, but was secretly pulled by his father Niu Yuepo. After all, the opponent is a senior master, so it's better to let others go up and find out the details first. Everyone looked at Xiong Jushi again, Xiong Dawei had already said what he said just now, let his son ask Mr. Rand for advice, then let him go first.
As soon as he saw this scene, Xiong Dawei said to his son: "Jushi, you will go down first and ask Mr. Rand for guidance, the seniors are recovering from their injuries, you must pay attention to proportion." ”
Xiong Jushi replied: "Obey the order, and the child will definitely not hurt the harmony of his colleagues." Then he hugged his fist towards Yinghua and said, "Senior Sister Yinghua, please point out the gains and losses of Jushi's secret method." Then he walked to the middle of the field, stood face to face about three feet away from Youfang, hugged his fists and said, "Mr. Rand, please advise!" ”
The words of the father and son almost made You Fang's nose crooked, Lao Tzu was a little polite, and asked his son to pay attention to proportion, but the son's tone was to have the upper hand, and he didn't take him as a "senior" in his eyes at all, but greeted Xiang Yinghua first.
You Fang is also a young man, it is impossible not to be angry, and secretly said in his heart: "Look at what you mean, are you afraid that I will rob the girl you want to soak?" Do you know how Xiang Zuohu died, how can I have this mind? Is it easy for me, and you, the eldest young master, only want to fight for the wind and be jealous! Can you still do something serious? If you want me to plant your heels, if you don't let you plant at Grandma's house today, I won't be called Melander. - Damn, I'm not really called Melander! ”
Thinking so in his heart, he remained silent on the surface, and said with a slightly calm face: "Xiong Jushi, although I don't dare to pretend to be an elder, but in front of you, it is not suitable to strike first." You must see my reaction clearly when you make a move, and don't let down the good intentions of trying the law. ”
The hippopotamus yawns, what a big breath! The implication is that I will give you a face, you must see it clearly, don't go down in a daze when the time comes, and you will gain nothing. Since the other party is not polite, anyway, he will brag about it, and he doesn't have to pay taxes, who can't brag about whom?
It sounds crazy, but it's also a mocking reminder that Xiong Jushi didn't do it right in the first place. He clenched his fists and stood there waiting, waiting for the food to be served. Since it is to ask the seniors for advice, how can there be any reason to let You Fang strike first?
Xiong Jushi's face was slightly red and said: "It's the juniors who are rude, the seniors are careful - draw the ground as a prison!" ”
Before the words fell, he made a move, took out a six-clawed yellow dragon jade Ruyi, and waved it towards the sky, You Fang's figure suddenly blurred, the wind came but he couldn't feel the wind blowing, and the air around You Fang seemed to become a rotating frosted glass. Xiong Jushi demonstrated the realm of transferring the corpse, and one of the most important purposes of the trial method was this, and he performed the very clever secret method of "drawing the ground as a prison".
As long as You Fang is trapped on the spot and can't break free, a cup of tea is enough, and then he accepts the secret method and says a few kind words, there is no victory or defeat on the surface, but anyone can see what is going on, his face is earned, and he looks quite chic and calm. The wishful thinking played very well, and he did his best as soon as he shot.
You Fang did wait for him to make the first move, and in an instant he was also trapped by "painting the ground as a prison", he had a sense, Xiong Jushi's cultivation realm was similar to him, but his skills were much deeper, and the same secret method You Fang couldn't exert such great power. It is worthy of the family that the family learned from the hard work of the child, and took a lot of advantages, at least this hand-drawn ground is a prison technique, and You Fang has not learned it.
How long did Xiong Jushi trap Youfang? To be honest, he couldn't figure it out himself, because it was too short, definitely less than a second, and it was estimated to be about half a second! As soon as he made a move, the Yuan Shen was in a trance, and then the surrounding scenery changed, as if he was in a strange turbid mountain fog, and then his right shoulder was numb and his whole body couldn't move, and what he saw in front of him returned to normal, still standing in the pine crane garden.
There are red, blue, and yellow fragments scattered in the sky, and the six-clawed Huanglongyu Ruyi in his hand is no longer there, and everyone around is amazed, and his expression is very shocking, and the jaws of some of the younger disciples' mouths are about to fall, but they are not looking at him, but at the "Mr. Rand" beside him, and the six-clawed Huanglongyu Ruyi is in You Fang's hands.
You Fang patted him on the shoulder, as if he was very affectionate, and said with a smile: "This Ruyi, take it well, you can't easily take off the magic weapon with you, and it's a pity to break it." ”
Xiong Jushi's body was numb again, and he suddenly moved again, and subconsciously took over the six-clawed Huanglongyu Ruyi, his expression was like sleepwalking before he could react, and he heard his father Xiong Dawei shouting outside the court: "Jushi, thank you for Mr. Rand's guidance!" ”
The so-called trial method competition has ended, looking back, You Fang's words just now were not bragging at all, Xiong Jushi didn't see You Fang's reaction clearly after making a move, and went down in a daze. No one has the intention of hurting anyone, but everyone knows in their hearts, according to this scene, if it is really a life-and-death fight, Xiong Jushi will have to die even if he is a cat with nine lives, and it is enough for You Fang to kill him back and forth.
Xiong Jushi took the magic weapon and heard his father's words, so he completely regained his senses, reacted to what happened, and hurriedly bowed to You Fang to thank him. He felt a chill in his back, and in an instant he was already in a cold sweat, a master like him, it doesn't matter if he falls behind in the trial, the most terrifying thing is that he doesn't know how the other party made a move? I am already in a mortal situation!
If I don't beat you or scold you, I'll scare you to death! -- That's how you go.
What happened just now, Xiong Jushi didn't know, but the masters outside the field could see it clearly. If there is a video, we can rewind it and carefully replay this half-second "trial and discussion" frame by frame.
