"Coming?"

In the house closest to the foot of the mountain at the foot of the back shade mountain, there is an old man living all the year round.

The old man's face was deeply folded, he was dressed in a simple gray robe, he was bent over, his whole body exuded a dying atmosphere, and he held a book in his thin hand and read it carefully.

Hearing the footsteps, he didn't look up, his eyes staring at the jade scroll were very deep, and he just responded casually, and he didn't even turn around.

"It's coming. ”

The person who came was thin, his face was mean and indifferent, and he didn't look tall, although his momentum was cold and cramped, but even compared to the many immortal cultivators in Chang'an, his body was really thin and short.

"Xie Luming's problem has not been solved yet, why did he call me over?

"It's okay, I'll handle that child's affairs, it's a pity. These student babies, one by one, are not worry-free. ”

The kind old man with this folded face smiled kindly, but the black bright eyes revealed between the ravines did not have any extra waves, as if the one who said this, and the one who had this look, was not a person at all.

"Shaobai's side didn't work out. ”

"As you might expect, I put a hook on him, but it didn't work, and it seems that if you want to make it happen, you have to wait until he breaks through the half-step hole.

The fragments of the Great Dao already existed in the depths of his bloodline, and he couldn't grind them off, so he had to obediently become the basis for the adults to wake up.

But...... Everyone has greed, let alone a mundane in the mud and dust, or a monk who has already cultivated near immortals. But he managed to resist this temptation that he was clearly not half lost to him, which was really incomprehensible......"

The short, thin man replied suspiciously.

"Alas, it won't work, Shaobai was grown up watching. ”

The old man stood up with a roll, a head taller than the middle-aged man in front of him, although he was rickety, but the difference in body shape was still very significant.

"Hold Yu, let me tell you a story......

"Oh?"

"There are mortal merchants living on the banks of the Cangjiang River, and the trading houses are stationed in Shenxia, and the goods are sold in Xiantang, which is to cross the river every day.

On that day, the jade pendant on the waist of the merchant fell into the waves, and was seized by the jellyfish Yuanjun, so he lamented and mourned, and it was difficult to restrain himself, and even shouted to the heavens and the earth, praying to the gods, and the boat wandered between the rivers and rivers, and did not return for half a day.

The jellyfish Yuanjun felt pity and gave him nine pearls to make up for the loss.

If it were you, would you accept it?"

The white-haired old man closed the scroll, looked at Xu Shuyu standing in front of him, and asked with a smile.

"How much is the pearl worth, how much is the jade pendant worth, is the jade pendant comparable to the pearl?"

The old man groaned for a moment and replied.

"Jade is inferior jade, but it was given by his deceased wife. The pearl is priceless, and it has already been refined as a holy soldier. ”

"Divine grace does not dare not accept it. ”

Xu Shuyu wondered why he would tell such a story, after all, in his opinion, this jade pendant was not the same level as Mingzhu at all, and there was no choice at all.

"Then what do you think happened to this merchant?"

"I think I have been blessed by this divine grace neatly, and I am happy to return home, after all, it is a mundane and difficult to hold on to. ”

"Alas...... Wrong. The old man shook his head, and then said as he paced—

"Shang Jia Xie Qide rejected his wishes, begged for the number of Yuan Jun, Yuan Jun read his sincerity, and returned the jade to others. ”

"How could this businessman be so stupid, nine pearls that can refine holy soldiers, and he actually missed them like this, could it be that this person doesn't understand the preciousness of pearls?"

"No, he just understands, he just sees the value of the jade pendant as more important than the pearl. ”

"But the pearl is clearly ten million times more precious than the jade pendant. ”

The white-haired old master smiled when he heard Xu Zhiyu's seemingly incomprehensible words.

"It seems that it is a bit harsh to make you understand the emotions of our human race.

You just need to know, let alone this merchant or Shaobai, there is a stubbornness and persistence in the bottom of your heart that you don't know where it originated. ”

"Oh...... That's right. Xu Shuyu's face was stiff and cold, his eyes were not like ordinary people, his eyes were covered with a deep layer of ink, and the corners of his mouth finally showed a mocking smile-

"However, I always felt that there was another ending to this story. ”

"Oh?"

This time it was the old man's turn to be interested.

Since he saw the true face of that great being, he seemed to have insight into the truth of the world, and saw through the essence of all things, so that he had reached another realm above the inferior mundane, and he would never do such a stupid thing as choosing the jade pendant.

He would just recite the true names of the adults over and over again, and then receive the grace with fanatical and respectful reverence, and then offer the Gu Immortal what he wanted.

Not to mention the jade pendant or the rest of the fetters, there is nothing left, only the most sincere offerings. ”

Although Xu Shuyu's language was cold and rigid, the old man could feel the restlessness suppressed in the trembling indifferent voice, he was stunned and sighed heavily.

"But I forgot, I always tell myself that you are no longer a human race, but I often use you as a hand to preach, I am really confused, and it is no wonder that people are easy to be confused when the deadline is approaching. ”

"Oh......" Xu Shuyu twisted his head stiffly.

"Why, it's starting to get sad at this moment? When you came to me with the desire to ask for cooperation, you weren't so pretentious, this thing of human beings, it's really interesting.

Haven't you been planning for ten years, since Li Huizhi sent the little girl to Chang'an School, your mind has risen, right?

If it is impersonal, except for the adults in the sky and us immortal slaves on the earth, who can have you cold-blooded.

In order to continue Shouyuan, even the soul of his brother was sent to the mountain by hand, just so that the adults could continue to survive after they got out of trouble, and continue to be in charge of this huge Chang'an Juku Taihaotian-

Did you say, my, good, brother, chief?"

Xu Shuyu smiled playfully, but there was no emotional fluctuation in his eyes.

The old man turned around slowly, his face was revealed under the green light, he was a contemporary saint master, and sighed sadly—

"I didn't want to, but the closer I got to the end, the more I couldn't be calm.

Sure enough, life and death are the biggest things in the world, since the first saint and the mediocre son can't break free from the barrier, then the same is true for Xue Huaijin. ”

He paused, then continued.

"There are nine days left in the Shaobai Breaking Realm, and my longevity is probably less than half a month, so I can't hold it anymore, so you can do it as soon as possible." ”
