Chapter 242: A Question
Lao Dao looked at the white-haired old man, exhaled deeply, calmed down his inner emotions, and then said calmly: "Why do you call me my nephew, after losing to my master in the battle for the head of the family, didn't you say that you want to completely dissociate yourself from my master?" Speaking of this, Lao Dao paused slightly, and then said: "However, no matter what, I should still call you a ...... uncle."
The old man nodded: "Ah, I don't know what kind of **** luck that kid in Shangqing hit, he actually picked up such a good apprentice as you, and I, Xuanyun, have never met a decent apprentice in my life, hey, I am destined to hide in this exquisite stone tree and raise some pets of cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods as companions......"
Lao Dao was stunned for a moment and said: "Uncle Shi has won the award, in fact, I am just a mediocre person, but on the road of seeking truth and pursuing justice, I am a little more serious and diligent than others." ”
"Hmph, nonsense!" Old man Xuanyun suddenly snorted coldly: "If you don't have talent, how can you reach this realm at such a young age!" I think that when I was my age and yours, I had already resounded in the Maoshan monastic realm, but the realm was not as good as you are now. ”
"Uncle Shi, no matter what, I came here this time to ask Uncle Shi about one thing......"
"I don't know about Shenzhu, don't come and ask me!" Before Lao Dao could say it, he was rejected by this old man Xuanyun.
Lao Dao was stunned for a moment, forcibly controlled his emotions, and said calmly: "The five divine beads have been kept by the master before they were scattered, presumably the master ......."
"Hehe, it seems that I can't get through it." Old man Xuanyun smiled, interrupted the old Taoist words again, and said, "I didn't expect you to know so much, very good, very good, then, don't blame me for not giving you a chance, now, as long as you complete the three requests I made, I will tell you the whereabouts of the other four divine beads, how about it?" ”
When An Gui and I heard this, we both looked at each other, this old man dared to make such a request so confidently, presumably these three things would not be too easy.
"Old man, if one of your three demands is to ask the three of us to commit suicide, or fight each other, wouldn't that be cheaper for you?" An Gui asked such a question at this time.
Xuanyun smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, I'm not a scoundrel, and I will never ask such a nonsensical question." ”
At this time, Lao Dao said: "Okay, uncle, you can say it." ”
I hurriedly came over and grabbed Lao Dao and said, "Wait! Then I said to Lao Dao, "I'm afraid this is not appropriate, if we fail to fulfill the three requirements he made, then wouldn't it be in vain?" ”
Lao Dao said: "This is already the old man who has given us face, if we don't agree, then what else can we do?" I'm no match for his old man. ”
Xuanyun heard Lao Dao say this, smiled and nodded: "Very good, very good, very accurate in judging the situation." Although I have only a handful of old bones left, you are still so cautious and do not despise me, you can see that you are sophisticated in doing things, and if you continue to develop like this, you will have great success in the future! ”
Lao Dao said lightly: "Uncle Shi praised it, in fact, I just saw the black steel nail stuck in the head of this crystal spirit snake demon, and I thought that I didn't have the ability to avoid it, so I would make such a choice." As he spoke, Lao Dao lowered his head slightly and looked at the crystal spirit snake demon leaning against the wall who was already dead.
"Uncle Shi, please tell me your request." Lao Dao said.
Xuanyun said at this time: "Well, okay, then, now I make the first request, you guys listen." ”
All three of us pricked up our ears and listened attentively to what he was saying.
"My first request is that you ask me a question, and if I can answer it, then you pass the test."
"Huh?!" An Gui and I both exclaimed in surprise, both thinking that our ears had misheard.
"You heard me right, I have to answer it so that you can pass the test." Old man Xuanyun explained calmly.
At this time, I thought about it a little, and realized that this request was very subtle.
If we ask a difficult question, then he will not be able to answer, then we will definitely lose, if we ask a simple question, such as the question of how many is one plus one, then, he knows the answer, but he will definitely not answer, then, we will definitely lose!
In other words, our situation is quite bad now, and no matter what questions we ask, as long as he says he doesn't know, then we will definitely lose......
This is a question that we will definitely lose!
An Gui was unhappy at this time, and stepped forward and scolded: "Old man, you are a scoundrel, you are like this, no matter what questions we ask, you don't know, then we will definitely lose!" ”
Old man Xuanyun smiled slightly, and was not annoyed by An Gui's disrespectful language, and only said lightly: "This topic, the subtlety, lies in this, if it is a smart person, it will naturally be able to come up with a question that I not only know, but also will automatically speak, I don't know if the three young people are the smart people I am talking about?" ”
"Ah, you're just playing a scoundrel and giving such a high-sounding excuse!" After listening to this explanation, An Gui was even more unhappy.
At this time, Lao Dao pressed on An Gui's shoulder and said, "Uncle Shi, he asked the question just to help us, I think this request is very reasonable." ”
Old man Xuanyun nodded and said, "It's still the teacher and nephew who are reasonable, unlike some young people who don't have brains in doing things." ”
"Who do you say doesn't have brains?! You're old like this, why don't you go back to your coffin and come out and hang people in a scare? An Gui did not back down and scolded.
But before these words fell, a "tuk" sound was heard.
An Gui and I were stunned for a moment, only to see that there was an extra black steel nail on the wall behind An Gui's buttocks.
Looking at An Gui's pants - under the crotch, there is already a small hole......
When An Gui saw the hole in the crotch of his pants, his face immediately turned pale, and he quickly touched it with his hand, and found that his own brother had not been killed by the steel nail, so he trembled, and said with a trembling mouth: "You are so vicious...... Luckily, I missed a bit! ”
Lao Dao said at this time: "Uncle Shi, he didn't miss, he just didn't want to hurt you." ”
Old man Xuanyun nodded, and said lightly: "Young people had better keep some morality, otherwise, it will not be good for the growth of future generations." ”
After this sentence, An Gui hurriedly covered the bottom, ran behind the old road, and no longer dared to speak out.
Old man Xuanyun said at this time: "I'll give you five minutes, if you don't ask questions, then you will lose." ”
At this time, my heart suddenly lit up, and I came up with an idea, so I stepped forward and said, "Let me ask this question!" ”
