Chapter 61: The Zodiac

Everyone dispersed, Wang Daoren was a little depressed, probably because he was defeated by a Xiao Xiu who had just been in the Xuan Zhao Realm, which made him a little embarrassed, maybe it was this failure that made him feel something, anyway, he didn't greet Li Ji, and walked away by himself.

Lin Daoren was a little enthusiastic, he should have won some gambling money, and after paying Li Ji a salary of 30 spirit stones, he praised him a few words, but that's it, after all, the two sides are not people of the same level, a casual cultivator who has just entered the Dao and a disciple of the top sect, there is no value in communication.

Li Ji's target is not them, these deacons, although they seem to be breezy, but he can still see that the second is a person, and every Taoist has a faint expression of meaning on his face: I am very busy, the road is short, don't bother me.

In addition to the zodiac, it is not that the zodiac has the highest status, but age. Aging has shown obvious traces on the body of the zodiac, even the monk, who is nearly two hundred years old, in the last decades of his life, has not escaped the characteristics of hair loss, age spots, cloudy eyes and so on.

It is said that cultivators should move forward indomitable, put aside life and death, and use their lives to impact the last ray of hope, which is not entirely true. In fact, on the path of cultivation, there are many things that you can't fight for even if you want to, such as the realm. The zodiac man himself fuses the late stage of cultivation, and the front heart realm is a big hurdle, not to mention the Jin Dan realm that can increase the number of life expectancy in the back, with his current physical condition, it can be said that there is no hope. The pills that can increase longevity, the ones that can be eaten have already been eaten, and those superb heavenly treasures can't afford to buy them if they kill him. There are many monks like him in the blue sky world, some of them enjoy life in a wandering form, some pay attention to the next generation of their families, some wander around the world with idle clouds and wild cranes, and some live in the sect like the zodiac to do things and provide for the elderly.

Li Ji is very aware of these old mentality, at the beginning of the Crescent Moon Gate, there were a few old guys wandering around all day long.

"Thank you to the immortal chief for giving the pill, there is nothing to repay, if you don't take the liberty, the kid wants to invite the immortal chief to eat wine... After everyone dispersed, Li Ji walked straight to the zodiac and said, Drinking and eating is the best way to get closer to each other, and this is the same whether it is in the mortal world or in the cultivation realm.

"You, invite me to drink?" the zodiac man looked at the bold little guy in front of him in surprise. In Xuanyuan City, he is not ranked in the top 100 in terms of cultivation and combat power, but in terms of power, he is in the top 10, because he has a big backer behind him. There are many people who want to invite him to eat and drink every day, but most of them are just people who tend to be powerful for the sake of profit, he doesn't want to get involved in these causes and effects, and his brothers and sisters are busy practicing all day long, who has the leisure to accompany him, this bad old man?

"Do you have something to do? just say it here, you are also a person in Xuanyuan City, who can help you, but you can't help your old Taoist as an elder in the deacon's room, and it is impossible to just speak for you... ”

"Here is how to eat and drink while chatting happily, you and relax, the kid has nothing to ask for, just a newcomer, a lot of things can't be understood, so I want to find an elder to consult, if you see the kid can still get along, then talk a little more, if you look at the kid vulgar, you pat your ass and leave... Li Ji didn't regard the zodiac people as his predecessors when he spoke, his tone was straightforward and free, this is the art of language, and many old people who are lonely in their hearts eat this set.

"Haha, you're interesting, so, you go to the Bird Fairy Zhai and wait for me. The zodiac liked that he was not pretentious, and he responded in one bite. This young man, in the eyes of the zodiac people, is still very desirable, when he came with Xuanyuan Broken Sword shows that he is fateful, since the abolition of the dantian is unwilling to submit to the upstart means that it is a righteousness, tens of thousands of miles of seeking Taoism shows that he has a heart, and the swordsmanship is extremely sharp shows that he is a talented, such a young man, what is it to have a drink with him?

"Boss, that kid has entered the Bird Fairy Zhai, shall we follow up and take a look?" A young man dressed in ordinary clothes asked the man in Tsing Yi next to him, but he slapped the man in Tsing Yi without thinking about it.

"What are you going to do in there? Do you want to seek death? I told you earlier, you don't know the big people in Xuanyuan City, but you need to know what they look like... Do you know who is sitting with that kid? Huang Rusong, the zodiac man, the big man in the third chair in the deacon's room in Xuanyuan City, if he knew that we were following his friend, all of us would have to get rid of the guys who were eating... Go, go, stay away, remember, this time you have to be doubly careful... ”

The man in Tsing Yi regretted taking this errand a little, but the money was also collected, if he retreated like this, he would definitely offend the Li family, so he had to go down, but he decided in his heart: just tracking, never make a move, in addition, I have to tell Steward Li that this time the transaction has to increase the price...

——————

Que Xian Zhai is not the most luxurious restaurant in Xuanyuan City, but it is affordable and chic, not to talk about pomp, it is a good place to eat and drink, which can be seen that the Zodiac people are not extravagant people, and they have pity for the younger disciples. He is a big man and an old customer, and Que Xian Zhai specially arranged a quiet compartment for them, at this time, the wine has been half drunk, and the atmosphere has become very harmonious under Li Ji's deliberate staining, and the relationship between the old and the young has become much closer.

How to interact with people, this is ability. In his opinion, the key to getting along and talking with others lies in two points, one is to learn to listen, and the other is to expose one's own ugliness. To do these two things, basically a friend can't run.

The zodiac man is actually a good talker, as long as you can get into his eyes. He has been mixed in the Xuanyuan Sword Sect for most of his life, and his serious and strange experience, life and death crises are not much, but when he talks about them one by one, coupled with Li Ji's just right promotion on the side, it makes the zodiac people very happy. As for Li Ji himself, he said a few things about his ugly experience, which also caused the Taoist to laugh, such as after he successfully got up from a woman's belly, such as before escaping, he casually collected the spirit stones of several magic circles in the Crescent Moon Gate, and when he escaped, he was thrown out one by one as cannon fodder to attract firepower. These ugly things are not encountered by a monk who grew up in a large sect since he was a child, and the zodiac people are interesting to listen to and have a sense of superiority of the sect that arises spontaneously, and they can't help but cite Li Ji as a confidant who forgets his years, this is the routine.

The topic is wide and the sky is wide, and I go around and around and finally return to the path, monks, it's all like this. Li Ji finally had the opportunity to ask: "Old Huang, I went to Guangfa Building to find out the technique, but there is something unclear, why are the escape techniques above the foundation, is it possible that there is no escape method to learn if the foundation is not built?"

The zodiac man pointed at Li Ji with a chopstick, and said with a smile: "You wild Taoist, you don't even know the most basic common sense of cultivation... The difference between the retreat and the light work of the rivers and lakes lies in the fact that one can take advantage of the situation to join the way, and the other cannot. For example, the end of the world, shrinking the ground into inches, borrowing the momentum of space, the five elements of escape, borrowing the power of the five elements between heaven and earth, is no longer a matter of pure speed... The monk has divine consciousness behind the foundation to understand the potential, so Xuanzhao, the two realms of enlightenment can learn the light skills of the rivers and lakes, but the mana is used instead of internal force, and the speed is faster. . . ”
