As long as there are enough vests, the plot can't kill me
Chapter 163 Details determine success or failure
The little boy named Ying Chong, after receiving nourishment from the spiritual object, saw his complexion improve visibly.
Although his face was pale and did not look like that of a man of his age, he was able to walk.
Seeing that his uncle was staring at a figure in the distance in a daze, he couldn't help but reach out and pull the elder's sleeve.
The little child did not understand the twists and turns of adults, nor did he understand why the uncle kept staring at the sister's back, and he did not know why he finally gave the elixir as an apology.
"Uncle Master, I'm done packing. When are we leaving?"
"Leaving? Oh, we're not leaving now."
The man came to his senses, suddenly realized something, and immediately changed his mind.
Without Lin Xiao, the terrifying bomb, around, his brain became much more useful.
If this girl has a close relationship with the adults, their action of returning to Jiufeng Mountain at this moment not only makes them look guilty, but also makes them look like they are seeking death.
Not only will I die, but the entire sect will also be implicated.
"Uncle Master, aren't we going home?"
When the little boy heard his elder change his mind temporarily, he did not object, but only confirmed it in a questioning tone.
"Well, Uncle Master was mistaken. The sect may not be as peaceful as here. I will contact my brother later and ask him to send some things over."
The man explained the reason to the younger generation based on practical situations.
Five years later, the Dust Pool belonging to Kunxu will welcome Kunxu's trial-takers. During this period, this place is indeed more conducive to my nephew's cultivation of fire and laying a solid foundation than Jiufeng Mountain.
Of course, he didn't dare to tell you the deep and fundamental reason, not even when he met his senior brother.
Who would have thought that the master who had never left Tianque for nearly ten thousand years had already chosen a successor.
It turned out that it was not as the world had speculated. The Lord intended to reconcile with Miaodao Palace and wanted to choose a successor from his former master to inherit Tianque, which was why he had been hesitant to choose a young master.
The fact is, do you still have feelings for Bai Zun in your heart?
To the extent that they still refuse to forgive the master who forced Bai Zun to become a demon?
Thinking of this, the man hurriedly closed his eyes, fiercely suppressed these dangerous thoughts that were enough to break the sky, and silently recited the calming formula several times.
"Chong'er, Uncle Master has some feelings. After sending a message to Brother Master, he will go into seclusion. Is it okay for you to stay here alone?"
"Ah? Uncle Master, please go quickly. I can do it alone."
The little boy grew up in the sect and knew that enlightenment was something that could only be encountered by chance.
He did not doubt it and urged his elder in a childish voice.
"No hurry, there's still some time."
The man rubbed the child's head, cleared his mind of all the clutter, and focused on reality.
With one last look at the place where Lin Xiao's back disappeared, he tried to raise the corners of his mouth and smiled.
Jiufeng Mountain cannot interfere in the affairs of the adults, and they also cannot afford to offend the Holy Lord who guards here.
Perhaps the best option is to temporarily avoid the vortex and wait for the girl to reveal her identity in the future.
……
"Stop anyone who comes."
A voice neither loud nor soft came from the front, and Lin Xiao stopped as he was told.
She followed the man's instructions, left the Cleansing Pool, and went forward until she successfully arrived at a small road called "Duanchen Bridge," which did not look like a bridge at all.
"You are the first to arrive here. Stand aside and wait for other trial participants."
When the guard spoke the pure common language of the Qianjie, Lin Xiao knew that the man was not a swindler and was more reliable than the old man outside.
"Oh."
She nodded slightly in response, without any greeting, but just stood aside as the two people opposite said.
Such actions will naturally attract other people's attention.
"Your Excellency, this girl is quite interesting. She is not afraid of us at all."
The guard, who was obviously younger, looked at Lin Xiao openly and switched to real language to communicate with his superiors.
"Well, he does look different, not like an ordinary Void Realm Trialist."
The other person, with a calm and serious expression, nodded slightly, agreeing with his subordinate's words.
He saw an inexplicable confidence in Lin Xiao's response.
Confidence is usually a symbol of status and strength. It is obviously unreasonable for a cultivator from the virtual world to have it in this situation.
[Su Rui, be careful with your words and actions, and stop looking down on others with that condescending attitude of yours.]
The guard named Su Rui was shocked when they changed from verbal communication to voice transmission, but what was even more shocking was the implication of the Venerable's words.
They were assigned to guard here, which was usually very boring.
Not only can you not see strangers for a long time, but you can't abandon your responsibilities and concentrate on practicing in seclusion.
It has become a tradition that only during the trials can we have some fun.
However, today's Reverend...
[Venerable, you? ]
[Maybe it’s my illusion, this little girl is not simple. ]
The solemn venerable glanced at Lin Xiao secretly, reminded his subordinate again, and then stood quietly there waiting.
As the saying goes, there is a small test every hundred years and a big test every thousand years. It is difficult for a true dragon to emerge in the virtual world, but it is not impossible to emerge.
Qianjie and Kunxu are the two most special places.
Of these two virtual worlds, one is Bai Zun’s hometown, and the other is a wild land that has no one to guard it and even the real world knows very little about.
In the current Qian Realm and Kunxu five years later, it would not be surprising if any kind of trial-taker came out of it.
【Thank you, Venerable.】
Su Rui is not a fool. He has to consider the occasion and the person he is with when having fun.
It is natural to tease those trial-takers who are trembling with fear and have finally come out of the Cleansing Pool and are still in shock.
But, the girl in front of me...
The young guard was startled and felt that he was just standing there stupidly. He didn't even notice the other party's calm and composed attitude.
A warning sign suddenly arose in his heart. He no longer dared to look at the other person recklessly, and his expression gradually became serious.
When Lin Xiao found that the gazes falling on him disappeared and the breath coming from the opposite side became different, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Details determine success or failure.
Whether it is bluffing or taking advantage of the power of others, if you want others to believe what you want them to believe, you must work hard in the most easily overlooked areas.
For example, people with sufficient status and confidence will not deliberately bow or try to get close to the security personnel of Zhongnanhai even when they meet them.
In addition to these, whether the message Lin Xiao wants to convey can be successfully received by the other party depends on the cooperation of someone who is sophisticated and good at capturing details.
If these two guards were like the younger one, she would be acting for the blind.
Fortunately, the older one is a man of rich experience.
Once such a person begins to have doubts in his heart, the seeds will be planted, and he will become more confident in his own vision and experience, thus becoming more certain of his judgment.
The Yaksha King and his companions were like this before, the old guy outside the woods was like this, and the senior in front of him was still like this.
With the cooperation, what Lin Xiao needs to do is to show his confidence thoroughly, deepen the other party's suspicion, and expand the range of possible corresponding identities.
When a person doubts that she has an identity, it may not be a big deal.
But one after another, people were unsure and showed doubt. Even if someone had really seen Lin Xiao in the Great Thousand World and knew her life experience clearly, they would subconsciously have an illusion and be shaken in their hearts.
At least, before hearing Lin Xiao personally admit his identity, they would think about whether there is another possibility.
Young Master Lin had never thought about entering the real world as a cultivator from the virtual world.
Not forgetting one's roots is a basic moral principle, but now is not the time to talk about morality.
[Little thing, can you return the vitality you absorbed before to me? ]
Without the prying eyes of others, Lin Xiao seized the last bit of time to make adequate preparations for his journey to the big world.
She calmed down and asked, and added another sentence before the little guy got angry.
[I will exchange my current vitality for it. 】
Upon hearing that it was an exchange, the Dao Seed that had just jumped up obediently fell back to its original position, waving its leaves excitedly.
Obviously, compared to those that Lin Xiao brought out from the universe and the woods, it wanted more of the surging vitality that the man replenished with spiritual objects.
Tweet!
Dao Zhong waved his leaves repeatedly, shuttling back and forth on the formation diagram, as happy as if he had picked up money.
When Lin Xiao saw the little guy like this, he knew that it could achieve the effect he wanted, and he finally felt relieved.
She could not forget the complicated and frightened look in the middle-aged man's eyes. It was hard for her not to suspect that her relationship with the master's wife had been discovered.
Otherwise, why would the other party be so afraid of a mere ant from the virtual world and apologize so generously?
If men can see it, other people may see it, so we must be on guard against it.
[Let's start, take it step by step, don't make any noise.]
squeak!
Dao Zhong was afraid that Lin Xiao would go back on his word, so he activated the formation diagram without saying a word and slowly exhaled the breath he had previously absorbed.
Then, according to the master's wishes, it stripped away the fresh vitality and returned the old energy that had been condensed by the formation diagram.
Ok?
[Your Excellency, Your Excellency, am I wrong about the lady opposite? ]
Dao Zhong's movements were not big, but the changes in Lin Xiao's body were too obvious, and anyone who was not a fool could notice it.
Su Rui was surprised to find that, since some time, the other party's aura had changed, becoming the same as those virtual world trial participants he had seen before, very pure and very "earthy".
[You are not mistaken, this is the ancient method of Yixi, not the orthodox method of a great sect...]
After answering his subordinates' questions, the Venerable's expression became more serious, and his eyes looking at Lin Xiao became meaningful.
The value of the ancient method is secondary; the most difficult thing is the talent required to learn it.
If Lin Xiao had appeared here like this at the beginning, he would never have any thoughts and would just treat the other party as a native of the virtual world like Su Rui.
Now, someone has performed a magic trick in front of me openly. What does this mean? Is it a slap in my face?
The Venerable inexplicably had a similar thought, but before his anger rose, he heard clear footsteps coming from a distance.
A new trial participant has successfully passed the Cleansing Pool and is approaching the Dust-Breaking Bridge.
Tread!
Two young men and women were carrying one person on their backs and running towards this side quickly. Lin Xiao recognized them from a distance.
The two people with expressions of fear and sorrow were both monks who had left the world. The one being carried was the team leader who had greeted her before.
"Senior, please save our captain. I am willing to give up the opportunity to go to the real world."
As soon as she came close, the woman stepped in front of the Venerable and bowed to pray.
Seeing this, the man who was accompanying him supported his unconscious companion and did the same thing.
"We are only responsible for maintaining the order of the assessment, not for rescuing people." The Venerable spoke in a language out of this world and coldly rejected the two's request.
Being rejected on the spot, the woman's hope completely died and she sat on the ground dejectedly.
Originally, he should have been the one to die, but the captain always remembered the guardian's expectations and resolutely used his life in exchange for his own.
The reason is that she has better talent, which is the tradition that Lijie has always adhered to.
With good talent, you will achieve greater things in the real world, and will be able to provide greater help to your hometown in the future, and gradually change the current situation in your hometown where it is difficult to produce geniuses.
"Captain, you don't even know me very well. I'm totally useless. You're obviously more useful than me."
The woman tilted her head back and let the tears drip down her chin.
She finally understood the look in the guardian's eyes before he left, the meaning that was conveyed without any words but only with his eyes.
You are taking part in the trial for your hometown, it has nothing to do with you personally!
Hometown?
The woman understood the good intentions of the immortal Taoist priest, and solemnly placed her right hand on the captain's forehead, trying to channel the other party's firm belief to herself in this way.
"Captain, I, Chen Mengqing, owe you a life. In the future..."
The solemn oath was interrupted by a glimpse of green out of the corner of his eye.
It was not until this time that Chen Mengqing realized that in addition to the two seniors with cold faces, there was another person here.
She raised her eyes and when she saw clearly who was standing in the distance, the extinguished fire in her heart was rekindled.
Pfft!
"Miss, this is all I have. You can take the quota for entering the real world. If it's not enough, you can make a request. I will never default on my debt. Can you please save him?"
Chen Mengqing was kneeling far away from Lin Xiao, with her back straight.
By kneeling down, she abandoned the dignity of a monk, but she did not feel any humiliation.
The man who was supporting his companion saw Sister Chen's actions, understood something from her determined eyes, and then bent his knees without hesitation.
"Miss, I, Geng Mingtong, know that you don't like these things. We only ask you to give us a chance, a chance to pay us back double."
The two men quoted their prices one after another, and Geng Mingtong's proposal was more practical and rational.
Lin Xiao had been begged many times by others, and was even morally blackmailed not long ago.
But right now, these two people don't make people feel disgusted.
First, they are very aware of the current situation and quote the highest price they can offer in advance, demonstrating their sincerity in seeking help.
Second, rather than saying that these two people were kneeling for her, it would be better to say that they were kneeling for that belief.
Lin Xiao is not a good person, nor does he have lofty sentiments, but he respects people of high qualities from the bottom of his heart.
Just like the uneducated people have a special respect for the educated people.
"Get up. I'm not as powerful as you think. Whether your captain can survive depends on God's will."
Under the surprised and delighted gazes of the two men, Lin Xiao took out the pill that the man had used as an apology.
In the shocked eyes of the two guards, he gave his answer in a hastily blended language.
Out-of-bounds common language?
God-summoning pill?
When the Venerable saw Lin Xiao’s actions, his mind exploded instantly.
Oh my God, which palace is this young lady from who is here to gain experience?
