Volume 4: Soaring Chapter 818: Strange Old Naughty Boy
"Don't talk about those false things, my old man doesn't like to listen to them, what is rude and not rude, what is not forgiven, if you have strength, you will not be rude, if you have the ability, you don't need to be forgiven by others, young man, don't you understand this truth?" The voice reappeared, with a hint of strange emphasis in its tone.
What he said made Lu Yao not know how to pick it up.
His words, right?
Not quite right.
Doesn't his words make sense?
It seems to make sense.
The world of cultivating immortals is a place where the strong are respected, there is strength, there is the right to speak, there is the right to speak, others will respect you, they will be afraid of you, even if what you say is bullshit, others will not dare to refute, there is no strength, even if you say the most reasonable words, others will treat you as a fart, however, Lu Yao has received Confucian ideological education since he was a child, and if he does something wrong, he must dare to admit it and dare to correct it, this is undoubted, in real society, strength is also very important, but the truth cannot be taken lightly.
There is much help for the righteous, but little help for the unjust, this is the truth.
"You kid don't have to think about it, I know that you are no different from those guys, you are just bound by the five of benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith, it's weird and tired!" That voice appeared again, but this time, Lu Yao finally saw the owner of this voice.
It was an old man, bent over his waist, with a cane in his right hand, slowly walking towards Lu Yao.
His appearance was just like his voice, and Lu Yao didn't figure out where he came from until he saw the old man's face clearly. It's just that it doesn't seem to matter anymore at this point.
"Senior, it's you!" Lu Yao recognized the old man at a glance, and said with a little excitement.
"Why can't it be me?" The old man still had that weird tone and asked rhetorically.
This time, Lu Yao didn't answer, he knew that the other party always had a set of his strange theories waiting for him, so he simply didn't say anything.
The only strange thing Lu Yao saw about the old man was how could this old man appear here, shouldn't he be in the Hidden Ware Pavilion?
"I know what you're thinking, do you want to ask why I didn't stay in the Artifact Pavilion and appear here?" The old man tapped the ground with the cane in his hand, making a knocking sound, and then said, "To tell you the truth, I am here to witness your round of assessment, do you have any other questions now?" ”
"I didn't ...... Pregnant. Lu Yao replied with a wry smile.
"I'm not afraid to tell you, it shouldn't have been me who assessed you this round, but you kid picked up the best Dan furnace in my Hidden Ware Pavilion, and I also want to see if you are blind, or if you really have some real talent." The old man showed a strange smile on his face, and said, "As for the guy who was supposed to come to assess you, he has been locked up in the Hidden Weapon Pavilion by me, haha!"
Speechless, really speechless, Lu Yao really had no way to face this strange old man, the chat between the two people didn't seem to be on the same channel at all, he looked old, but he always spoke so amazingly, which also reminded Lu Yao of a character in the novel - Zhou Botong in an instant.
"So can we start the assessment now?" Lu Yao was silent for a while, and when he saw that the old man stopped talking, he asked.
"Hey, you're such a young man, it's really rude to come up and ask my name first!" The old man once again let Lu Yao understand his true character as an old urchin.
"Dare to ask what the seniors are called?" Although Lu Yao was bitter in his heart, he still asked respectfully.
"Haha, haha, hahaha!" When the old man saw Lu Yao asking him, he didn't answer, he just looked up to the sky and laughed, and after laughing for a while, maybe he was tired of laughing, so he stopped laughing, his face changed, and said, "I won't tell you, what can you do with me?" ”
"I ......" Lu Yao was full of black lines in his head, and countless alpacas rushed past in his heart, and it was really difficult to open his heart.
"How's it going, are you angry, do you want to beat me up?" The old man moved a step in an instant, looked at Lu Yao with a look of hope, and said, "If you want to beat me, come, I'll give you a chance, how about it?"
Although Lu Yao also wanted to beat up this disrespectful guy in his heart, he knew that he was definitely not his opponent, besides, this old man had no ill will towards him, but he also helped Lu Yao, he was the mysterious old man who kindly reminded him in hiding, although he changed his expression at this time, but the traces of his voice did not disappear, Lu Yao naturally could not and was unwilling to do anything with him.
"Senior, I'm here to take the assessment, if you are my examiner in this round, then can you please start my assessment?" Lu Yao said with a respectful smile.
Seeing that Lu Yao was still polite, the old man glared at Lu Yao fiercely, and then said angrily: "It's really boring, you won't grasp the opportunity to beat me, it's useless!" ”
"Seniors, respecting the elderly is the standard of self-discipline for the youth of my generation, I have no grievances with you, how can I be rude?" Lu Yao said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, you just say that if you can't beat me, won't it be over, really!" The old man said impatiently, then paused, and asked, "Are you ready to start the assessment?" ”
"Ready!" Lu Yao replied affirmatively.
"Alright, let's start the assessment now!" The old man's expression changed suddenly, and he instantly changed from an old urchin to an old man who looked like a fairy wind and bones, and asked very seriously: "Passing this round of assessment means that you are one step closer to the heir of the Tianbao Pavilion Pavilion, you tell me, if I let you pass the assessment, what kind of mood do you have?" ”
"I don't know about this, I haven't thought about it carefully!" Lu Yao replied without hesitation.
"Really?" The old man put on his disrespectful appearance again, and asked, "Don't you have to think seriously about answering me, maybe your answer will already make your round of assessment end in failure?" ”
"Don't think about it, this is the truth, I really haven't thought about it, what kind of existence Tianbao Pavilion is, I don't even know very well, I originally wanted to help the Medicine King Gu Xing Shaogu Lord this time, but I didn't expect him to be eliminated now, as for why I persisted, I really can't say it clearly for a while." Lu Yao's answer was still very simple.
"Alright, I'll answer for you." The old man changed his face again, looked at Lu Yao and said seriously: "You are gifted, and the future is promising, but you also know that if you don't have your own power in this immortal cultivation world, it is very rare to want to do something you want to do, so you want to establish your own power through this assessment, and you want to borrow the east wind of Tianbao Pavilion." ”
"I ......"
Lu Yao wanted to explain something, but the old man didn't give him a chance at all, and continued: "It's just that you really haven't thought it through now, and you are prompted to continue to move forward and continue to be assessed, that is because you think that the person who told you these words is also very reasonable, and you don't want to live up to their expectations, right?" ”
Is that right?
Very right, totally right.
The words that this old man said were not only what Lu Yao was thinking in his heart, but also what actually happened in reality, indeed, he was a little hesitant after listening to Lan Jinghe's words from Lijiang, but he really didn't think it through, the reason why he still came to accept the test was because he didn't want to live up to the expectations of Lijiang.
Lu Yao returned to the real society, he is still a student, and he is also the major shareholder of Fang's Pharmaceutical Group, with his ability, he can easily earn enough money that he can't spend in his life, but what about leaving Xinjiang, he is a person who survived from another era, he only has Xiuxian in his heart, only Lu Yao, every footprint Lu Yao left in the immortal cultivation world has his hard work and sweat, Lu Yao is his hope.
"Lu Yao, to tell you the truth, among these people who participated in the selection this time, I am most optimistic about you, but your shortcomings and advantages are obvious, do you know what your biggest shortcomings are?" The old man asked with a solemn expression.
"Senior, please!" Lu Yao said respectfully.
"Your greatest flaw is your kindness." The old man said word by word.
"And what about my merits?" Lu Yao paused and continued to ask.
"Your greatest merit is precisely your kindness." The old man said in astonishment.
What does that mean?
The biggest disadvantage is Lu Yao's kindness, and the biggest advantage is also Lu Yao's kindness, which makes Lu Yao a little incomprehensible for a while, even if he is very smart.
Who is the biggest enemy in a person's life?
It's ourselves.
Why?
Because I know myself best, and I don't know myself the least.
The known self is no threat, but the unknown self is the most terrifying.
"Your kindness makes you always accommodating to other people's ideas, and you are willing to think about others first, and ignore your own heart, but your kindness is the origin of your ability today, do you say I'm right?" The old man looked at Lu Yao and asked lightly.
Lu Yao was silent for a moment, for the first sentence, Lu Yao did not deny it, it was indeed very in line with his character, and for the second sentence, he was not only in agreement, but also shocked.
Your kindness is the origin of the ability you have today.
In a word, it was as if the old man had witnessed Lu Yao's past, from the time he saved Huang Ruoyun in Shuangta City, he had this heart, he met Lijiang, and he embarked on the road of cultivating immortals.
This is Lu Yao's biggest secret, especially leaving Xinjiang.
At this time, the old man's words shocked Lu Yao's heart, did he know his secrets, and how many secrets did he know, Lijiang and he had met before, did he also see Lijiang's identity?
Lu Yao was completely shocked by the old man's words.
