Chapter 50: Flattery

The six divine powers of Buddhism, although mysterious, but also depend on their own cultivation, with the current Zhou Shuning's realm of cultivation, "Tianyantong" not to mention the nine heavens and ten earths, even if you encounter a master who deliberately hides your breath, it is also difficult to see through.

Previously, she looked at the Twenty Mile Bridge and found that it was an empty town, but at this time, someone walked out of the town, indicating that this person's realm was extremely high, and under the deliberate concealment of the breath, even the "Sky Eye" could not see through.

After a while, the man walked out of the shadows, and it was Li Xuandu, who was wearing a hat and a hat, and under the coat was still wearing a cyan brocade official robe, jade soap boots, and the blade hanging from his waist was naturally the famous Wenluan knife.

Li Xuandu glanced at the three of them and said, "I said a long time ago, the battle between good and evil is dangerous everywhere, but you just don't listen, and when you get here, you can't help it." ”

Zhou Shuning frowned and asked, "How do you say this?"

Li Xuandu said: "The Soap Pavilion Sect is frustrated this time, it will not be reconciled, nine times out of ten there will continue to make trouble, although it is in Xiaozhou, but there is no reinforcement from the Xuannu Sect, people are waiting for work, no matter how you look at it, you will suffer." I don't know what Xiao Shiyu thinks, he actually let the four of you walk the rivers and lakes alone, and really don't send people to take care of you?"

Several disciples of the Xuannu Sect heard Li Xuan call their sect master by his name, and they all showed displeasure on their faces, but it was only because Li Xuan was kind to them that they kept silent.

Zhou Shuning said: "If you let people take care of you, then you still walk the rivers and lakes." ”

Li Xuandu said with a smile: "Walking the rivers and lakes is like a child learning to walk." At first, your parents helped you walk, then they taught you to walk, then they walked with you, and finally they watched you walk alone. This process is gradual, and there is no reason to start running before you have learned to walk. ”

After Zhou Shuning heard the sentence "There is no truth in everything", she immediately thought of her brother, and then remembered some of the words that Sister Qin once said, when a man reaches middle age, whether he is frustrated or famous, there are few people who don't like to talk about it. This kind of rhetoric is not the kind of youth to seek public attention, but with a sense of embarrassment, standing at the height of looking down, talking about the past, how difficult it was, talking about every difficulty, as if every time is a matter of life and death, countless choices, and finally bear the fruit of today, in the final analysis, it is the four words "good teacher".

Zhou Shuning sighed and thought to herself: "Although my brother is not yet thirty years old, when he talks about reasoning, he is already a middle-aged man who looks like Sister Qin. But then again, since Sister Qin can see it so clearly, how can she like her brother?"

It's a pity that Zhou Shuning didn't know that when Li Xuan, who was old-fashioned and a good teacher, was in front of Qin Su, he was a completely different person, a genuine young man. is like Zhou Shuning, who was a well-behaved little girl in front of Li Xuandu, shy and shy, but in front of others, she was quite majestic and could speak well, completely two things.

Li Xuandu saw that Zhou Shuning didn't speak, so he had to continue: "Now this town, there are indeed no living people, the Soap Pavilion Sect has used some means to make this town haunted by the day, and people are panicked, and there are disciples of the Soap Pavilion Sect who pretend to be Taoists of the Soap Pavilion Sect to enter the town, and the Soap Pavilion Sect is from the Pavilion Soap Dao, pretending to be a Taoist priest or realistic, so the people in the town can't believe it." In the name of exorcising ghosts, these disciples of the Soap Pavilion Sect asked the people of the town to leave the town temporarily with gold and silver. So what you see now is an empty town. ”

The young woman couldn't help but ask, "What about those Soap Pavilion Sect disciples?"

"Gone. Li Xuandu said: "Walk cleanly, but they have left some things in this town, if you rush into the town, it may not be much better than taking the night road outside the town." ”

Zhou Shuning finally asked, "What is it?"

Li Xuandu slowly spit out a word: "Ghost." ”

Several disciples of the Xuannu Sect were startled, and then reacted, this should be the usual method of the Soap Pavilion Sect.

Li Xuandu said: "This kind of thing, it is powerful and powerful, ordinary swords are difficult to hurt, and it is just like that if it is not powerful, as long as it is dealt with properly, a yellow paper talisman can be broken, do you have the means to deal with this?"

Zhou Shuning was silent for a while, among the four of them, only the young woman was a monk, and the techniques she could be proficient in were still biased towards yin and feminine, for this kind of ghostly soul, you need to use the most yang to the strongest spells, one yin and one yang, which is far from the same.

Li Xuandu said: "That's it, just the so-called good people do it to the end, send the Buddha to the west, I will suffer again, to ensure that you spend tonight safely, you can follow me, don't go wrong." ”

Zhou Shuning hesitated for a moment and said, "Thank you." ”

Li Xuandu waved his hand and smiled: "No thanks, no thanks, if you want to thank you, thank Lu Dudu." ”

After that, the group entered the town, and after walking far, an ancient tree hugged by two people came into everyone's sight, and on the tree was a woman's face, sobbing softly.

Li Xuandu said: "This is a ghost thing called the 'Human Face Tree', which is very difficult. ”

When the words fell, the woman's face suddenly stopped her sad voice, and she opened a pair of eyes and walked towards the group, there were no eyeballs in those eyes, only two black hole holes.

Seeing this scene, the two disciples of the Xuannu Sect couldn't help but cry out with an "ah", Zhou Shuning and the young woman were quite calm, but their faces were also pale.

Only Li Xuandu could still be calm and composed, and said: "Don't look at her eyes, be careful of being distracted by her." ”

When several people heard this, they hurriedly turned their eyes away, and Zhou Shuning asked: "Since this is the case, how can we break the enemy?" Li Xuandu said: "This kind of physical and evil thing can be broken with evil talismans, or it can be directly broken with force, but the strength required is slightly greater......

Before the words fell, Li Xuandu's figure suddenly moved, and the Chinese knife in his hand was unsheathed, directly cutting the woman's face off the trunk, bringing out strips of filamentous things like meridian blood vessels, but it was also cut off by Li Xuandu. After that face hit the ground, it was still immortal, one mouth opened and closed, screaming miserably, as if it had suffered a great pain, and at the same time it was struggling desperately, slowly squirming towards Li Xuandu's side, but the tree left a pothole, drenched in blood.

Li Xuandu stepped on the face with one foot, smashed it, and said: "The Soap Pavilion Sect fought against the entire rivers and lakes with the power of one sect back then, and the depth of the background cannot be underestimated, and various secret methods emerge in endlessly, it is said that there are nearly 100 kinds of ghost things cultivated and raised by the Soap Pavilion Sect back then, known as the 'Hundred Ghosts Night Walk', and there are more than ten kinds related to trees, and this 'human face tree' is just one of them, and there are some to see." ”

Hearing this, the fourth girl's face turned pale again, and she didn't know what to say.

Li Xuandu saw that the atmosphere was a little solemn, so he made a joke: "According to reason, you should say that Lord Liu's cultivation is really good at this time, although this 'human face tree' is not very powerful, but it is also very troublesome, ordinary people can't help it, if you want to cut down this human face with a knife, you have to be perfect in the use of knife techniques, this knife technique is really admirable." ”

Zhou Shuning looked at Li Xuandu, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Isn't this flattery?"

Li Xuandu smiled and said, "Flattery is an indispensable learning in secular affairs, even if you are the master of a sect, you can't do without it. ”

"They are all masters of one sect, and they still want to flatter others?" Zhou Shuning shook his head and said, "I don't believe it." ”

Li Xuandu said: "If you are the sect master of the Xuannu Sect, participate in the righteous path discussion, and the Great Heavenly Master and the Great Sword Immortal speak separately, what should you do, do you say nothing with a cold face, or praise the sentence 'The Great Heavenly Master and the Great Sword Immortal are high-minded, admire, admire'?"

Zhou Shuning was dumbfounded.

Li Xuandu said: "The key to flattery is how to make it invisible, not too traced." No matter if you are a central minister, a feudal official, or the master of a sect, or a heavenly master, you can't escape. And in addition to flattering others, you also have to deal with the flattery of the people below, no matter who you are, as long as you are not a saint, the flattery you listen to a lot, and you will gradually believe it to be true. In the final analysis, how to flatter others without a trace, and how not to let yourself be lost in the flattery of others, are all knowledge. In this regard, Lu Dudu is one of the best. Miss Zhou, you have a good status in the Xuannu Sect, and you will have this day. ”

Zhou Shuning's face was much more solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Thank you for your advice." ”
