Chapter 337: Opportunity to Collect Apprentices
"Before I saw the above, I had already set you up, this Wu Tianlong was really afraid that you would come and snatch his imperial throne!" Some things are very obvious, even if you don't need Mu Xinghuo to remind you, ancient and modern Dao can guess it, there are no rumors that come out for no reason, and they have spread when their group is about to arrive in Yongzhou City, if it is not for someone who is spreading these rumors, it will really be a strange thing like a ghost!
But even if you know that this kind of thing is the result of malicious manipulation by someone, what can you do? Rather than finding out who is behind the scenes, we still have to deal with the situation outside that is close to rioting, right? The inn where they live now has already been overcrowded, if it weren't for the words of Tianmu before, first drag the people outside for a while, and make time for them to rest, I believe that the people who want to come to apprentice will not give them a chance to be free at all, adults are okay to say, children can't stand it, anyway, Gu Jindao's current mind is not at all on dealing with the matter of accepting apprentices, but is fanning her daughter with a cool breeze to give her a cool breeze to dissipate heat and rest, when the little girl Gu Na closed her eyes slightly, He glanced at Mu Xinghuo with a murderous gaze, told him to shut up obediently, and didn't dare to speak loudly again.
"Don't act like it's none of your business, it's clear that everyone is here for you!" Although the voice is a lot quieter this time, it can still be regarded as continuing to die, this may be the character that Mu Xinghuo has always maintained, but his words are indeed true, the people who surrounded the inn are all rushing to be the apprentices of the new martial king, even if it is to drive people away, it is not necessarily how simple, not to mention that there will be some conflicts here in Yongzhou City, I am afraid that the previous martial king will be alert, whether he can see the above and not say it first, and there may even be a war, then it will go against his will to come here!
After Gu Jindao sent his sleeping daughter to the bed to rest, he walked out of the outer hall lightly, and at the same time consciously lowered his voice and asked Tianmu: "Tianmu, what do you think?" What can I do to clarify that I don't mean to take in disciples? ”
Tianmu is still a rather thin face, it seems that he is used to the cultivation method of an ascetic, but his current eyes are not blind, and they are much brighter than anyone else, he can see a sweet spring through his eyes, as long as a pair of eyes are up, he can get a calm state of mind from it, and it is the eyes that are not involved in any impurities, what he said means that there is no possibility of lying, so when answering the questions of ancient and modern Taoism, he said bluntly:" This time the person who arranged to spread this kind of rumor is very clever, not to let you suffer, but also to coax others, if the ancient brother did not become this martial king, you can not even say no refusal, just leave, but the other party is obviously using your reputation to test your bearing, according to the old monk's opinion, if the ancient brother just ignores this rumor, the reputation of the new martial king will plummet, in other places it is better to say, if it spreads to Middle-earth, it will offend many people, will even fall into the disgrace of one of the worst martial kings. So even if people here can see that this is a rumor, they will hold on to it, because it is possible to make this rumor a fact right now. ”
Refusing not to come is indeed a good point, if the ancient and modern Dao is just an ordinary person, whether to accept apprentices or not really has little to do with other people, but he is a person who has just become a martial king, and every move is a responsibility, not to mention that he will not be able to raise his head to be a man in the future, which is enough to make him uncomfortable, so he can be regarded as open and said: "You are right, if you refuse now, it will indeed be difficult to have a foothold in the future, and using this means to force me to choose, it is undoubtedly to attack the prestige of my title of martial king." , it is not easy to accumulate fame, but if it is a smear, it can be done just by relying on a few rumors! ”
Basically, it can be determined that it was a trick played by the previous Martial King, but even if he knew these things, the people who supported him in doing so, and even helped to coax him, treated them with the same mentality as Tianmu said, turning rumors into facts! The meeting of the two warrior kings in itself is the time when the imperial throne is handed over, and it is necessary to meet each other in arms, and the ancient and modern ways said this time that he came to declare that he had no intention of being the warrior king of this country, but who knows if he is choosing the most effective and direct way to replace the royal power? It is precisely like this, to understand being played by others, you can only accept it with reluctance.
"So you want to take in an apprentice? Why? Mu Xinghuo was obviously a little excited when he spoke this time, so that his voice was slightly raised, which made Gu Jindao draw out his sword as soon as possible, and put it on his neck, and when Mu Xinghuo reacted by himself, he remembered that he had disturbed his daughter's rest, and hurriedly apologized, compared to the fact that a large number of people outside wanted to apprentice, it was really not as good as the little girl, but after this kind of episode, Gu Jindao, who withdrew his weapon, also said frankly:" I know that I was calculated, and I have to deal with it with a smile, which should be what I should do in my current capacity! Since he has the identity of this Martial King, he has to be responsible for this title, and the fact that he is unwilling to compete for the imperial throne is enough to cause people to talk badly, and if he can't even handle this rumor well, and let it continue to deteriorate, the prestige of this Martial King will naturally plummet! ”
Mu Xinghuo can still hear the meaning of the words of the ancient and modern Dao, even if he is reluctant, he has to accept it with a smile, this is what he should do, in short, this dumb man is decided! Of course, the Tianmu behind him still reminded Gu Jindao as soon as possible: "The old monk thinks that this time it is just taking advantage of the large number of people, and at the same time that the ancient brother accepts the apprentice, he will confess his intention to come to Yongzhou City. ”
It's a good thing to stagger this kind of meeting that is already full of gunpowder, Gu Jindao itself is a more open-minded person, instead of talking about whether this rumor is true or false, it is better to listen to what Tianmu said, and think about what to do after the matter of accepting apprentices is over. Originally, he wanted to personally declare that he had no intention of taking over this country, as long as he expressed this aspect, just accepting an extra apprentice would not necessarily cause him to suffer, just thinking like this, his heart would be a little more balanced! Perhaps at this time, in the eyes of ancient and modern Daoists, they didn't even understand the meaning of the word apprentice, let alone enlightenment, it was with such a dramatic development that Li Changsheng and Gu Shanhe were next.
Although Mu Xinghuo was the only one who was sulking, he still felt that he had fallen into someone else's trap, but he really couldn't argue with the other two, no matter how much he felt that he could only continue to endure it, Tianmu saw this, and he also kindly reminded Mu Xinghuo: "Brother Mu, you don't need to worry too much, the person who chose the apprentice is the ancient brother, he came in person, and the old monk's eyes are not blind, who is playing other ideas, he can't hide it from the old monk at all, and if you want to learn the sword technique, there is still a prerequisite, That's pretty harsh, so that alone is enough to make a lot of people fall back! ”
"Condition! What conditions? Mu Xinghuo is now like he is the only one who doesn't know this secret, and immediately starts to ask the people who know, and then Gu Jindao himself explained, it seems that he doesn't mind talking about the sword technique at all: "If you want to use the sword skill smoothly, you must collect enough essence, and the needs of the human body in this regard are very harsh, if you are a normal martial artist, there will be some traces of fighting qi in the body, and then absorbing the essence will be counterproductive, There is even a possibility of exploding! ”
"What he means is that if you want to learn the sword technique, you must know how to collect essence, and it is best to be someone who has not had any other qi flow on your body, so it is best to be a beginner who does not understand martial arts at all!" After some explanation by Tianmu, Mu Xinghuo also understood it, which can be regarded as corresponding to what Gu Jindao emphasized at the beginning when he first taught Chen Dawei the sword technique, that is, the most difficult part of the sword technique is to collect enough essence, and to exert the ability of those moves is to continuously provide essence, if it is not enough, no matter how hard you work to learn the sword skills, you can't exert their essential strength!
This story is just a small episode, and it was not said by Li Changsheng, but it was just caused by such a rumor that was maliciously manipulated, as well as various factors, which gave him and Gu Shanhe the opportunity to change their lives. He is not more old than most of us, and it doesn't seem like he was picked out randomly, and later I learned that younger than us, maybe it will take time to discipline, and it is inevitable that after getting the benefits, he will become young and frivolous, so he also abandoned those who are more qualified, and instead chose me and Shanhe, hoping that we can have enough consciousness in all aspects, and a stable enough mentality. ”
Maybe that's pretty much the same in the past, right? The key now is the reason and truth for betraying the ancient and modern ways, who knows that Li Changsheng brought up the old things again at this time, and probably continued to talk about the things that happened to him and Gu Shanhe, especially when it came to learning the sword technique, the feeling at that time, maybe people's greed will never be satisfied, from the beginning of the grateful contact, to the realization of the power of these sword skills, their junior brothers who only learned two of the tricks gradually became more strange than the original self!
However, this kind of mentality is not that Tianmu can't see it, it's just that he doesn't think that these are big problems, people will have greed, this is a fairly normal thing, there is no need to make a fuss, but it is also this that led to the tragedy later!
(I don't want to say how unlucky I was today, when I was about to write, it was when I was typing, the computer suddenly stuck, I couldn't save the point, and there was no response at all to the point, and in the end it could only be restarted, and then it really crashed!) I didn't get the computer up until half past one in the middle of the night, and then I typed again, and I kept writing until now. )
