Chapter XIV Conditions
People are selfish.
In all fairness, how many people in the world can help someone they don't know?
In the previous life of Xia Fan's life, with the rapid development of society, people's material living standards have been greatly improved, and at the same time, it has inevitably caused an imbalance in the humanistic spirit.
The moral decline has led to various social phenomena that dare not help, dare not help, and dare not save.
In the era when people's hearts are gradually indifferent, everyone sweeps the snow in front of their own door, regardless of the frost on the tiles of others has become a common psychology of people, it seems that only by hiding behind the virtual network world, people dare to unscrupulously vent their own emotions.
Xia Fan belongs to the people who do everything according to their ability.
When he is able, he is usually the one who can help him.
Whether it was a villager who was born as a rogue bandit, or Chen Ji and Shi Xiaofei, whose lives were hanging by a thread, Xia Fan reached out to the rescue.
He doesn't care about the other party's return, it's purely that he has the ability to save people, and if he helps, he will help, and he has nothing to lose anyway.
But Shi Xiaofei's situation was different this time.
Does he have the ability to help Shi Xiaofei? Perhaps, but can he afford to help?
This is the reason why Xia Fan hesitated.
In the final analysis, compared with the simple-minded Shi Xiaofei, Xia Fan's selfishness is still heavy.
Moreover, who can guarantee that Shi Xiaofei did not deceive himself? What if someone is used as a gun?
Under all these concerns, Xia Fan didn't know what decision to make for a while.
"Your story is good, but it's a little bit off according to the criteria I'm interested in, and of course, I don't embarrass you, as long as you can pick me up, I'll let you go. β
Don't look at Xia Fan's inner thoughts, but on the surface, he is still unmoved.
"Senior...... Aren't you embarrassing me?"
When Shi Xiaofei heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Although he hadn't seen Xia Fan make a move, let alone seen the characteristics of an ordinary master from him, his intuition told him that the seemingly ordinary senior in front of him was definitely an existence that he couldn't provoke.
"It seems that it is really difficult for you to take my trick. Xia Fan touched his chin and said thoughtfully. "Well, I'll draw a circle on the ground, and if you can force me to take half a step out of the circle, I'll count you winning?"
As he spoke, Xia Fan casually picked up a branch from the ground and drew a circle directly at his feet.
"Is what the predecessors said true?"
The circle drawn by Xia Fan is very small, and he can basically get out of the circle with one step forward, so Shi Xiaofei's eyes suddenly lit up, and he seemed to be afraid that Xia Fan would regret it.
"Of course, as a senior, when have I ever lied to you. Xia Fan shook the branch in his hand and said disapprovingly. "But first, you only get three shots a day. β
"A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase!"
Shi Xiaofei quickly repacked his baggage and said with a serious expression.
"Do you want to start now?"
Xia Fan looked at Shi Xiaofeidao, who was about to move.
"Yes! Please forgive the juniors for offending!"
Shi Xiaofei solemnly arched his hand towards Xia Fan.
"Okay, then hurry up, I have other things to deal with later!" Xia Fan urged impatiently.
As soon as the words fell.
Shi Xiaofei's figure rushed to the front with a fierce momentum, raised his leg and swept towards Xia Fan in the circle.
Who knew that before Shi Xiaofei kicked Xia Fan, Xia Fan grabbed his calf lightly and threw him out in the blink of an eye.
"One move. β
Xia Fan covered his mouth and yawned, but he didn't look at Shi Xiaofei who fell to the ground in embarrassment.
"Ahem, ahemβ"
The strenuous physical exercise undoubtedly brought a huge burden to Shi Xiaofei's body, and his injury had not healed, and now it was even worse.
"It's rude!"
But Shi Xiaofei still didn't give up, and after adjusting his breath, he flew up again.
"Two moves. β
"Three moves. β
It's a pity that Xia Fan easily defused Shi Xiaofei's attacks one by one.
"The three moves are over, I should go, before leaving, I still advise you, let's heal the injury first. β
Looking at Shi Xiaofei, who was lying on the ground panting, Xia Fan couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, and turned around to leave.
Shi Xiaofei didn't stop him, and let Xia Fan drift away until he disappeared at the end of his vision.
The seniors are too strong!
At this moment, Shi Xiaofei only had one thought in his heart.
In the three moves just now, he tried attacks from different directions and angles, but every time Xia Fan was able to grasp the flaws he exposed and easily resolve them.
The most critical part is that Xia Fan behaved easily throughout the whole process, even if Shi Xiaofei was in his heyday, he didn't dare to guarantee whether he could successfully force Xia Fan back half a step.
Really.
The predecessor is really an unborn hermit master.
If he could......
Thinking of this, Shi Xiaofei immediately threw this thought out of his head, now that he has endured the other party's life-saving grace, how can such a bastard idea come up now!
Meanwhile.
Xia Fan, who had left the village, was strolling through the mountains and forests, and he would deliberately stop for a moment every time he walked a distance, seemingly admiring the pleasant scenery of the surrounding forests, but if someone who was proficient in the art of Qimen Dunjia was present, he would definitely be able to find that he was actually inspecting the situation of a certain array.
Since the last time someone broke the formation to find Chen Ji's whereabouts, Xia Fan took the time to rearrange the mountain maze, so as not to have someone break through the formation easily.
Qimen Dunjia's technique sounds mysterious, and subconsciously it is easy to remind people of the eight formations that Zhuge Wuhou can trap 100,000 soldiers.
But Xia Fan has already made it very clear that this is actually just a special trick.
The easiest way to break the formation is to set fire to the mountain, or to rampage in the direction you want.
The old man who broke into the formation last time was obviously proficient in the art of Qimen Dunjia, and it took him a while to see through Xia Fan's maze arrangement, which cannot be said that Xia Fan's formation technique is sparse, it can only be said that the so-called formation is not as mysterious and complicated as people imagine.
Just like solving a math problem, you can easily solve it with the right formula.
Xia Fan didn't lie to Shi Xiaofei.
In the past few days, a large number of strange visitors have indeed come to the mountains, but it is a pity that they are not able to understand the formation, and in the end they are all going around and getting lost.
However, Xia Fan knew it in his heart.
The maze in the mountains can't stop them, they don't understand the formation, it doesn't mean that others don't understand.
Eventually, sooner or later, they will all succeed in finding the door.
What will Shi Xiaofei do when the time comes? What should Xia Fan do?
He couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he could only take the procrastination trick, anyway, it would be a day if he could drag it out for a day.
"Huh?"
Xia Fan didn't know how long he had been walking in the mountains, and after he was about to check all the array eyes, he suddenly found that there was a mistake in the array eye, if it was a normal mistake, he wouldn't take it to heart, the problem was that he found that there were obvious signs of man-made destruction in this array eye.
