Chapter 666: People become better with age
Zong Pingzi's humble behavior greatly reduced the hostility towards him from everyone outside the court, and for a while no one came on stage to challenge him.
"This old Taoist priest is very good at being a man." Datou said in a low voice.
He smiled and did not answer. There are many differences between young people and old people. One of them is that the old people are well-informed and take many irrelevant things very lightly, such as face. They have to suffer for face.
Most of them are done by young people, and older people tend to be more pragmatic.
There are always some people with weak minds and evil intentions who like to regard other people's kindness as stupidity and others' humility as weakness. Seeing the humble words of an old Taoist priest, some people mistakenly think that he is old and frail and lacks confidence. After a while, one of them uses a knife to kill him.
The martial arts warriors took the stage to challenge.
The man who wielded the knife must be in his mid-twenties, with a gloomy expression and a taciturn appearance. After taking the stage, he introduced his family name very briefly, "The Eleventh Son of a Prodigal."
Seeing this man's unpredictable expression, everyone was looking forward to the ensuing martial arts competition, but in just one round, Shishiro was wiped on the neck by Zong Pingzi.
It stands to reason that Zong Pingzi has a Taixuan cultivation base, while Shi Yilang has a Dongyuan cultivation base. The gap between the two sides is not big. Even if Eleven Lang loses, he should not be defeated so easily. The reason why he was killed by Zong Pingzi in one round
It was because Shishiro wanted to die on his own and had to pretend to be cool by hanging a strand of hair from his forehead to cover his left eye. Little did he know that the most taboo thing when facing an enemy in battle is to have his sight blocked. Experts only compete for every cent in their attacks.
, having a blind spot in your line of sight is equivalent to tying yourself up.
After killing the eleventh man, Zong Pingzi once again looked around and said, "I don't want to use the big to bully the small and commit the crime of killing. I hope you will show your noble hands and let me go."
Although what Zong Pingzi said was still soft, the two people who came to the stage to challenge before failed to make a move under him. As a result, no one outside the court dared to underestimate Zong Pingzi anymore, and this was Zong Pingzi.
The reason why Zitou kills is that speaking softly and being ruthless need to be done at the same time. If you only use ruthless words without using soft words, it will be easy to offend people, and vice versa. It is also very harmful to only use soft words without using ruthless hands.
Easily perceived as weak and easily bullied.
The reason why no one came on stage to challenge outside the court, apart from Zong Pingzi's modest words and cruel methods, there is another reason, that is, Zong Pingzi always turned his back to the red fairy. This is a very smart move. If
He kept staring at the red fairy, which easily attracted everyone outside the venue.
Jealousy. And he could minimize the hostility of everyone outside the venue by not looking at the fairy in red. His unspoken meaning was that he only came here for the bronze amulet and didn't want to have both.
Just when everyone thought that Zong Pingzi could successfully survive an hour, another person came on stage to challenge him. This person was in his thirties, short in stature, and had empty hands but no bare hands. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that this person carried a lot of hidden weapons.
The moment the drum beat stopped, the short man opened his bow from left to right and fired various hidden weapons at Zong Pingzi. His intention was also very obvious, that is, he hoped to use the advantage of hidden weapons to attack from a distance and avoid close combat with Zong Pingzi.
Although the short man fired dozens of different types of hidden weapons non-stop, he was unable to stop Zong Pingzi from getting closer. As Zong Pingzi rushed forward, he quickly swirled the whisk in his left hand, pushed aside the hidden weapons, and then stretched out his spiritual energy, controlling
The Royal Seven-Star Sword flew forward and stabbed straight through, piercing the short man's chest.
The winner is still decided in one round, and it's still a one-shot kill.
There are always some people who like to regard themselves as moral saints and criticize others. There are also such people outside the court. As a member of the Taoist sect, Daozong Pingzi should not be ruthless. He can clearly win without taking human lives, but he just doesn't
The killing was painful and no one was left alive. This shows that Zong Pingzi's mind was not right and his moral conduct was lacking.
In the face of criticism and slander outside the court, Zong Pingzi adopted a very smart approach. Just like a monk who likes to chant Buddha's name to prevaricate when he is speechless when asked, Zong Pingzi also directly said "blessings are boundless to the gods", and then
Then he stopped answering the call.
The gap between people is sometimes greater than the gap between people and pigs. If you are not from the same place, your perspective and attitude towards the problem will be completely different. I can understand Zong Pingzi's approach. The method used by Zong Pingzi is different from that used by Datou.
The method is actually the same. They all kill chickens to frighten monkeys, and kill to stop killing. If you don't kill the person who challenges, more people will come up to challenge. Anyway, you won't lose anything if you lose. You must let
Those who are willing to challenge know that their lives will be lost if they lose. Only in this way do they dare not try easily.
Three people came to the stage to challenge, and they were all killed with one move.
Since then, no one dared to come on stage rashly. In fact, there were many people outside the court who could beat Zong Pingzi, but these people did not come to the stage to challenge. The reason was very simple. They aimed at silver or gold talismans. They didn't care about bronze talismans.
Not pleasing to the eye.
This is also the cleverness of Zong Pingzi. Although he competes with the people for profit, he only strives for small profits. He clearly has the ability to snatch silver charms but only grabs bronze charms. Anyway, his purpose is just to survive. Grabbing a bronze charm is enough.
You must be greedy for big things.
As time went by, there was only a quarter of an hour left, and there was still no one outside the court to challenge.
At this time, Zong Pingzi once again looked around and said, "Thank you all for raising your hands generously. I know the art of Qihuang well. I usually live in Ziwei Cave in Longxuan Mountain. If you have any difficult diseases in the future, you can go to Longxuan Mountain to find me."
, A poor person will definitely try his best."
As soon as Zong Pingzi said this, many people outside the venue immediately responded to express their goodwill. At this time, it was almost a foregone conclusion that Zong Pingzi would get the bronze amulet. No one wanted to offend him. Moreover, he seemed familiar with what he said.
Zong Pingzi was too embarrassed to refuse if he really asked for help.
He didn't know Zong Pingzi well and didn't know his character, but he admired Zong Pingzi's mind. He was meticulous and steady in his work. It was clear that there wouldn't be much change if he got the magic talisman, but he still tried his best to do it.
Note, strive to be foolproof, and you must know that saying thank you at the last quarter of an hour can make those who are unwilling to challenge on stage impulsively give up the idea of challenging because of face.
In addition, Zong Pingzi was also very precise about the timing. There were nine bronze amulets in total. He chose the third game. The variables in the first two games were too variable and it was difficult to tell which direction the wind was blowing. The competition in the following games must be very stressful, so
Zong Pingzi had only chosen this third match, and most people outside the venue had the same idea. Anyway, there were still six talismans behind him, and he still had a chance, so there was no need to risk his life with Zong Pingzi.
After a while, the sound of ringing gold sounded, and Zong Pingzi won the competition.
Zong Pingzi first bowed his head to the four directions to express his thanks, then lowered his head and came to stand seven steps away from the red-clothed fairy. He bowed his head to the red-clothed fairy and said, "Blessed is the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord. In actual combat, human lives are hurt. I am a poor man and I have a bad heart. I am extremely unethical."
I am ashamed. Thanks to the courtesy of all my colleagues in the world, I am lucky enough to win. I also ask the fairy god to give me some instructions."
Others may not notice this detail, but they see it. When talking face to face, three steps apart is appropriate, five steps apart is a bit far, and seven steps apart is even further. Zong Pingzi's move aims to highlight himself.
Awe of the red fairy. In addition, the senses of gods are much sharper than those of mortals. If they are too close, the breath of mortals may disgust the gods.
As expected, the fairy in red was quite satisfied with Zong Pingzi standing in the distance talking to her, and then asked in a harmonious voice, "Taoist Priest, what do you want to do after you get the bronze amulet?"
"Replying to the Fairy's question," Zong Pingzi bowed and answered, "I am a poor man with a dull talent. He has been enlightened for many years and still has not been able to understand the way of heaven and see the Yin and Yang. Now the deadline is approaching. It coincides with the reopening of the Fairy Palace and heaven and earth are merciful, so I come here shamelessly.
, asking for the magic talisman to save his life, this time he had no choice but to kill the killer from the stage. If Pindao did not do that, I am afraid that more people will come to the stage to challenge, and the casualties will be even more serious, but this move will have some effect after all.
In order to harm the harmony of heaven and earth, Pindao's ancestors have been practicing medicine for three generations. If he can receive the spiritual talisman this time, Pindao will definitely continue as before, inherit the legacy of his ancestors, practice medicine to help the world, to make up for the loss of virtue, and to thank God for his prosperity."
Zong Pingzi's words can only be described in two words, that is, they are decent. He did not deceive himself into ignoring his previous killing spree, but gave a reasonable explanation. The most ingenious thing was the seemingly unintentional mention.
My ancestors have been practicing medicine for three generations, so don’t underestimate this saying. As the saying goes, a dragon begets a dragon, a phoenix begets a phoenix, rabbits are born to run around, rats are born to burrow, and the inheritance of bloodline affects and even determines a person to a great extent.
My grandfather and father are both good people, so my son cannot be that bad.
The fairy in red is different from the two underworld officials who appeared before. She is not responsible for handling cases in the heaven. Zong Pingzi's answer made her quite satisfied, and she asked no more questions, and then turned her bronze amulet to
Zong Pingzi, then disappeared.
Zong Pingzi was overjoyed to receive the bronze protective talisman and did not stay in the Immortal Palace. He thanked everyone again and left in a hurry.
After Zong Pingzi left, Shi Xuanming said, "This man is resourceful and glib. He doesn't look like a good person."
