Chapter 21: The Test

After having dinner with his family, Wu Ming returned to his small courtyard. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

So much happened on this day. Wu Ming couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Before, Wu Ming didn't have much desire to become a strong man. He grew up under the protection of the Wu family since he was a child, although the Wu and Liu families have been fighting, but the Wu family has not fallen into disadvantage, so Wu Ming does not have much sense of crisis.

He wanted to return to his previous state of hard cultivation, but in fact, it was mainly to fight for himself. He didn't want to be a powerful martial artist, as long as he wasn't as scrapped as before, so that his family could feel at ease, it was enough.

But at this time, the threat of Miaocheng Immortal Gu made him realize how fragile this peaceful life was now. If you talk about the Liu family's various calculations, the Wu family can find a way to resolve them. Then, when an innate master wants to deal with him, or to deal with their Wu family, he really has no way at all.

More than 20 years of peaceful life, now that I think about it, it is all a fluke. It's just that those higher beings didn't pay attention to their Wu family!

Wu Ming felt a deep sense of powerlessness, and he hated the feeling that everything was under the control of others. So, he wants to be strong, not strong in the ordinary sense, but very strong.

Strong in the general sense, one or two levels higher than people of the same age, then it is considered very strong, Wu Ming has no doubt that he can do this.

However, to become very strong, strong enough to resist the threat of the innate powerhouse, Wu Ming was not sure at all. Innate powerhouse, there have not been a few in the entire Qingshui City for so many years. It can be seen that it is difficult to become an innate powerhouse.

This time, fortunately, there is Lao Dao in his brain to help him, but he doesn't want to rely on Lao Dao all the time, which will make him feel very useless, and he wants to rely on his own strength.

So, how can you become a strong man who can compete with the innate masters?

In Wu Ming's cognition, grandfather Wu Qing is almost a hundred years old, and he has not become a congenital master, even if he is stronger than his grandfather, but if he wants to become a congenital master, let alone whether he can succeed or not, even if he can succeed, he doesn't know what year and month it is.

Can he wait so long? During this time, will there be other innate masters who see that their Wu family is not pleasing to their eyes and come to trouble them? Wu Ming can't bear to wait for so long.

Now the only way to do this is to ask Lao Dao for help. Lao Dao has helped him a lot, if there is a way, he really doesn't want to trouble Lao Dao, but now, he really has no choice.

"The old way is so powerful, there should be a way, right?" Wu Ming thought secretly. He has always felt that Lao Dao is very powerful, but he has never had a clear understanding of how powerful Lao Dao is. After all, Lao Dao didn't reveal much information to him at all. Therefore, Wu Ming is not very sure whether Lao Dao can help him become a congenital master.

"Hmm, a congenital masterβ€”!" the old man's elongated voice looked very surprised.

Wu Ming's heart was cold, "Isn't it okay?" But he didn't mean to blame the old man, "Is it difficult? If it's difficult, forget it." ”

"It's difficult? haha!" Lao Dao laughed loudly, which made Wu Ming very confused.

"What does the old way mean? whether it works or not, say something happy!" Wu Ming thought to himself.

Lao Dao laughed for a while, and then continued: "Ah, I'm sorry, I, I really can't help it. Because, in my opinion, innate people are no different from you ordinary people. However, it makes me feel weird that you associate innate with master, so I can't help but laugh. ”

"Innate people, no different from ordinary people?" Wu Ming was stunned. In his cognition, innate people, that is, among hundreds of thousands of people, it will take many years to produce so few. However, the old Tao actually said that there is no difference between innate people and ordinary people.

How high is Lao Dao's vision?

Listening to the old Tao again, he said: "Yes, the innate person is just getting started, and the road ahead is long! In my sect, the innate person is only the lowest existence. Even, those mediocre innate people who want to enter our door and become a servant cannot get it. ”

Wu Ming's eyes lit up. This is the first time that Lao Dao has revealed his previous affairs, and judging from his description, his sect must be very powerful! Although Lao Dao has lost his physical body now, it should not be difficult for Lao Dao to turn himself into an innate person.

"As long as I can become an innate master, no matter how much hardship I endure, I am not afraid! I don't want to experience that feeling of powerlessness anymore. Wu Ming said secretly in his heart.

"Then, can you make me an innate person?" Wu Ming asked.

"Let you be an innate person?" asked the old man, as if he was a little displeased in his tone.

Wu Ming was taken aback, "Isn't he willing?" he couldn't help but sneer in his heart, "What I just said is so powerful, I thought it was true! However, I just asked you to help me first, so that I could become the lowest existence in your sect, and you began to push back." Come to think of it, it was all blowing the air just now, right?"

But then I was relieved. Lao Dao doesn't owe him anything. Therefore, Lao Dao helps him, it is love, and if he doesn't help, he should be. Lao Dao had already helped him a lot before, how could he be resentful because Lao Dao didn't help this time?

Moreover, Lao Dao has lost his physical body. Maybe what was easy to do before, now it will be much more troublesome. Lao Dao doesn't help, Wu Ming can understand.

Lao Dao continued: "I don't have any sense of accomplishment in creating a congenital person, I don't do this kind of thing!"

"Huh?" Wu Ming heard the meaning of the old way, "creating an innate person has no achievements for him. It means that since he made a move, how could he create an existence that is higher than the innate person. ”

It's not that Lao Dao doesn't want to help, but he wants to help him become a higher-level existence.

"But if you want me to help, you have to pass my test. Lao Dao said, "If you can't pass my test, even if you become a congenital person, you won't have much success in the future, so I'm not wasting time!"

In Lao Dao's view, innate people have no value at all. Spending time creating an innate person is similar to wasting time.

"I, I will definitely pass your test, I am not afraid of how much hardship I endure and how tired I am!" Wu Ming said excitedly.

"Don't worry," Lao Dao smiled slightly, "Isn't my test in progress now? ”

"The test is underway?" Wu Ming immediately made it clear that the so-called test of the old Tao should be what he had commanded before: to test the demon with his body.

"Don't worry, I will definitely defeat my old habits, defeat myself, and become a person with a strong heart!" Wu Ming said secretly in his heart.

However, he was a little puzzled, and he didn't understand why Lao Dao linked this test to helping him. Could it be that only after passing the test can it be more likely to achieve higher achievements, and therefore, it is worth cultivating?

He told the old way about his doubts.

"You still don't understand?" said Lao Dao, "before, you were also an excellent martial artist, but later, why did you fall? Isn't it because your heart is not strong enough and you are tempted by external objects? Compared with practicing martial arts, cultivating immortals is a difficult and difficult road! If you don't have a tenacious heart, how can you survive one hardship after another and reach the top of that high mountain?"

"If I help you become a congenital person, and you can't resist all kinds of temptations, and you are busy falling in love with people, and you are busy acting in front of people, then won't all my hard work be in vain?"

Wu Ming was a little displeased when he saw Lao Dao, and hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean that, my heart is not strong enough, and it is easy to give up halfway, I understand this." I mean, a strong mind doesn't have anything to do with cultivation itself. For example, congenital, Jin Dan, is it that the heart is not strong enough, even if it takes more time, it will be difficult to achieve?"

"Huh. A smile appeared on Lao Dao's face, "You little devil is quite cunning! Your question has already involved the content of the exercises." You haven't passed my test, so how can I reveal it to you?"

"Oh. Wu Ming replied in a low voice, since Lao Dao didn't want to say it, he would no longer entangle. However, from the old words, he has heard that there should be something related.

Wu Ming made up his mind that he must pass the test of the old way. However, he still has worries. Before he passed the test of the old way, or before he passed the test of the old way but had not become an innate person, if there were other masters who were not good for him or their Wu family, then what?

Therefore, he wanted to ask Lao Dao for help in this regard.

When he said this, Lao Tao said: "Danger, threat, this is also a kind of tempering, as long as it can't destroy you, it is only good for you, why do you want me to get rid of it for you?"

Wu Ming said: "I'm not afraid of this kind of training. What I'm afraid of is that if someone destroys me, won't it be in vain for your old man's hard work, or if someone kills my family, then won't I be sad?"

"Well, that's pretty much it. Lao Dao's tone softened slightly, "Don't worry, when it's time to make a move, I will make a move." ”

Wu Ming couldn't help but be curious and asked, "Your old man, it must be no problem to deal with innate people." But if the other party is a Jindan master...... You should be fine, right?"

"Hmph!" Lao Dao snorted coldly, "Don't go to my bottom! I won't say anything!"

......

In the night, Wu Ming stood in front of the door.

He had just sent a subordinate to invite Xia Bingyun back, and he was waiting for the other party's arrival at this time.

If he can pass the test of the old way, the old way will help him become an innate or even high-level existence, so Wu Ming can't wait to continue to test the magic method now.

Originally, he also wanted to dissolve Xia Bingyun's love for him, so as to dispel Miao Cheng Immortal Gu's killing intent towards him. At that time, although the old saying "let her come" made him feel at ease, he still wanted to eliminate Miaocheng Immortal Gu's killing intent towards him. Because, he didn't want to trouble Lao Dao to make a move.

But at this time, he couldn't care about what was a wonderful immortal girl. If the test of the old way is delayed, it will be a big loss.

If Miaocheng Immortal Gu comes, let Lao Dao deal with her. Lao Dao has already said that he is testing him, and faintly, he and Lao Dao are already similar to the relationship between master and apprentice, so he feels that there is no need to be too angry with Lao Dao.

After about a stick of incense, footsteps sounded outside the door.

"Young Master, Miss Xia has arrived. The man outside the door shouted.

"Let Miss Xia come over, you can go. Wu Ming commanded.

The next person answered and went by himself, while Xia Bingyun walked over with a puzzled face.

Wu Ming has been very cold to her since he met the dean, thinking that he wanted to resolve the love thread on her. Although, she felt that she didn't have any affection for Wu Ming.

At this time, it was already very late, but Wu Ming called her over again, I don't know what the intention was.

Xia Bingyun walked across from Wu Ming and didn't speak, waiting for Wu Ming to explain his intentions.

Wu Ming laughed and said, "Bingyun, I'm sorry today, you see that the moonlight is quite good today......" Looking up, he saw that the moonlight was blocked by a few dark clouds, so he couldn't help but stop in embarrassment, and then said in a bad mood: "I will prepare a little wine today, and I should apologize for you." Besides, we didn't finish a moonlit night picture before, so how about finishing it today?"

"Whatever you want. Xia Bingyun said indifferently.

Wu Ming hurriedly let her into the house. After drinking several times, Wu Ming no longer felt embarrassed. Seeing that Xia Bingyun was looking at the moonlight outside the window in front of the window, while lightly drawing a dark gray on the drawing board, he leaned in and held Xia Bingyun's hand holding the pen.

"Huh?" Xia Bingyun's body shook, and the brush almost fell.

Wu Ming smiled: "This painting, let's finish it together, okay?"

In his mind, he remembered how Xia Bingyun led him step by step when he first met Xia Bingyun.

......

"Senior brother, I just want to learn martial arts from you, you don't have other ideas!"

When Wu Ming heard this, he thought that Xia Bingyun was really guarding against him, so he didn't dare to make a mistake. But who would have thought, Xia Bingyun went to him again and again.

"Senior brother, I came to you to practice martial arts, but you must not take the opportunity to take advantage of me!"

Wu Mingben didn't have the idea of taking advantage of her, he just wanted to take care of her, please her, where would he dare to take advantage of her.

However, Xia Bingyun asked him to teach her how to hold the sword, how to use force, etc., and then he had to go up and hold Xia Bingyun's hand to teach.

"Senior brother, I can let you hold my hand, but you must not take the opportunity to touch my body!"

Wu Ming was able to grab her hand, his heart was already pounding, as for touching her body, Wu Ming didn't dare to have this idea at all.

However, when Xia Bingyun was teaching, he asked him to come closer, "Come here, it's so far away, how can you teach it well!"

Wu Ming could only lean over and experience Xia Bingyun's warm nephrite.

Time passed day by day, and Wu Ming, a person who had just fallen in love, gradually indulged in Xia Bingyun's tenderness and sweetness.

......

Wu Ming leaned next to Xia Bingyun, trying not to think about the harm Xia Bingyun had caused him, and the suppressive power of the old habits in his heart also melted under his relaxation. At this moment, the old habits invaded his heart again, like an army of tigers and wolves attacking an undefended country.

"Ah, how beautiful the moonlight is tonight!" Wu Ming said as he looked out the window, in fact, he didn't even see the shadow of the moon at all. He just felt that the old habit climbed up to his heart, and while painting in a slightly drunken state, while enjoying the scenery outside the window, and surrounded by beautiful women, he felt that he was immersed in this kind of poetry and painting.

But it's not enough, it's not enough!

It wasn't enough for him to fall into it completely, and the old habit wasn't at its peak.

And to completely defeat the old habit is to let it reach its peak and defeat it!

Therefore, Wu Ming has to be cultivated slowly.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he thought of a solution.

With a stretch of his hand, he took Xia Bingyun into his arms.

"Ahh But after only struggling for a moment, he quieted down and peeked at Wu Ming.

At this moment, she fully understood that she really had affection for Wu Ming.

She originally thought that it was just curiosity and gratitude, but at this moment she could no longer deceive herself.

Xia Bingyun lay in Wu Ming's arms, enjoying this rare quiet, and even the fact that Miaocheng Immortal Gu might attack Wu Ming was left behind by her.
