Chapter 32 Assassin

The Dao is a Bagua furnace, refining people is like refining elixirs.

If you want to succeed in it, you must cultivate some skills. The first level, let's call it cunning or worldly, not easily revealing your attitude. The second level is to go further on the basis of the previous level and to be cautious at any time. The highest level is what the most holy teacher said, to do what you want without going beyond the rules.

However, some people have over-mythologized these things, and regard the so-called power struggle as the unparalleled dragon-slaying technique in the world, as if everyone is not speaking human words, everyone is deep-minded, top-notch, and often plays against the sky, which is linked together and can be reversed at any time. Everyone has endless backhands hidden. I predict your prediction, and we keep on fighting. The two sides have to fight back and forth for hundreds of moves before the winner can be determined.

This is full of outsiders' imaginations about the golden hoe.

These are two different things.

In the world of fame and fortune, it is indeed not that simple to be a person and do things, but it is not that complicated either. It's nothing more than human nature.

It is essentially a makeshift team.

In this world, there are only a few smart and capable people, and there are also only a few crazy people. The majority are ordinary people in the middle. They can only see the present, not the future, and those high-ranking true people are no exception.

As for the immortals, what's wrong with immortals? Only the past remains unchanged, and the future has countless possibilities. Immortals can only see one possibility.

In the final analysis, there are calculations, and they are limited to calculations.

Everyone takes one step at a time. Those who can take one step and look at two steps are masters. Who can see ten steps later? Naturally, they can't know why they did it in the first place.

Li Tianlan's behavior logic is consistent. His defeat today is all because of the word money.

People die for money, and birds die for food.

Some people wonder that at this time, Li Tianlan still didn't get out early because of the property problem, which is a shame for his cunning calculations. If Li Tianlan could see through this, why did he wait until now? He didn't have this greed from the beginning. With the support of the Li family, who could do anything to him? Would a deputy deputy palace master still lack food and clothing? .qgν.

Li Tianlan is not like Fang Linhou and Ma Jinguo. No one has ever forced him, let alone forced him to be greedy. This is also the advantage of the children of aristocratic families. He took the initiative to be greedy. He can survive if it is caused by heaven, but he cannot survive if it is caused by himself.

People with little courage dare not do this kind of "business". People with big courage must be confident and will not let go easily.

If they can let go, they will let go long ago. If they can't let go, they will not let go until they die.

Qi Xuansu and Zhang Jucheng are not cunning and have prepared seven or eight tricks in advance. The two of them suddenly decided to make a fuss about Li Ping. They tried their best to get him. Later, they found that they couldn't do it, and they were worried. It was still Qi Niang who sent Liu Hu to solve the problem.

When it came to the specific action, the two of them just discussed it roughly and made a simple division of labor. Then they acted according to the situation and made decisions according to the situation, testing their ability to adapt to changes.

It is best to take it down with one move. If you can't take it down, think about ways to take it down.

Therefore, this duel between the two groups was not a game of chess, with frequent strange moves, but more like a close combat.

The test here is still the information gap. With information advantage, no matter how you calculate, you will win. Without information advantage, you are like a blind and deaf person, and can only rely on guessing.

Shi Luosi was counterattacked, Wu Guangbi was blocked by Wu Niang, and Li Tianlan had no other back-up, and could only face Qi Xuansu alone.

Qi Xuansu approached him in an instant. His burly human immortal body and phoenix wings that had not yet been folded made Qi Xuansu feel like a mountain pressing down on his head, suffocating him.

Qi Xuansu raised his fist high.

The majestic pressure of the martial artist of creation actually made all kinds of gravel and debris on the ground fly up from the ground against common sense, suspended in the air, and then could not withstand the pressure and were crushed into powder.

Li Tianlan, who was locked by both divine thoughts and fist intentions, could not even move, and had no way to avoid it.

Qi Xuansu punched out.

Li Tianlan flew out horizontally, and his body fell into the city wall again.

Qi Xuansu used his strength, but the wall didn't shake at all. Li Tianlan seemed to be embedded in it, tightly fitting without any gaps.

Qi Xuansu turned his fist into a claw and reached out to grab Li Tianlan.

Wu Guangbi, who was fighting with Wu Niang, naturally couldn't sit idly by. He used his full strength to force Wu Niang back temporarily, but his sleeves were also burned by Wu Niang. The whole person turned into a sword light and rushed straight to Qi Xuansu.

Wu Niang turned into a streak of fire, following the sword light.

Qi Xuansu was also a veteran, and he was in tune with Wu Niang. He immediately turned around and faced Wu Guangbi, forming a two-sided attack with Wu Niang.

Facing the aggressive Wu Guangbi, Qi Xuansu still fought with his bare hands.

To be fair, Qi Xuansu really didn't know how to use a sword.

As Wu Guangbi said, without the "double swords combined", Qi Xuansu's swordsmanship was really not up to par.

Qi Xuansu pushed his right palm upwards, somewhat similar to the "Abhāraṇī Mudra", but not exactly the same. .

This move is exactly "Past Sumeru".

The past is eternal and unchanging, and Mount Sumeru cannot be shaken.

So this move is mainly defensive.

Although the palm is facing outward, this palm is not to attack the enemy outward, but to protect oneself inward. Within the range of this palm, it is the past and motionless.

Qi Xuansu's whole body quickly faded, like a silhouette in a pile of old papers, an image in history, and a dark yellow picture.

No matter how fierce the mighty sword light was, it became meaningless. The sword light directly passed through the range of Qi Xuansu's palm, as if Qi Xuansu did not exist at all, just an image, without causing any impact on him.

Of course, "Past Sumeru" is not invulnerable. If there is no space to carry it, then time is meaningless, and Wufu's broken void realm can be broken.

It's a pity that Wu Guangbi is the descendant of the Earth Immortal and does not have such means.

However, this move also has a shortcoming. First, it is impossible to perform other actions while maintaining this state. Second, it consumes a lot of money. Even if Qi Xuansu is close to the pseudo-immortal, he cannot maintain it for too long. Almost at the same time as the sword light ends, Qi Xuansu This state also ended, and he even became temporarily weak because his cultivation was not as good as Huangfu Ji's.

Wu Guangbi was about to use his sword against Qi Xuansu again, but Wuniang had already arrived and stood in front of Wu Guangbi.

"Go away."

Wu Guangbi stood on his head with his eyebrows raised, and swept the sword in his hand.

In an instant, the entire space was only black and white, with countless ink-like sword marks crisscrossing each other, becoming denser and denser, and converging into a huge ink mark.

Wu Niang did not dodge at all and allowed the sword to fall on her body.

Her true body is an immortal object, and destroying an immortal object is probably even more difficult than killing an immortal.

When Wuniang faced Xu Zu and Xuan Sheng in the Kunlun Cave, Xu Zu directly used the "Taiyi Technique", but the result was only a serious injury to Wuniang, but allowed Wuniang to retreat calmly. Not to mention that Xu Zu was not good at dealing with others. In terms of fighting, among the Taoist ancestors, Xu Zu killed the most people. He even once fought against all the immortals on his own. How could Wu Guangbi compare with Xu Zu?

Wu Guangbi raised his eyebrows and noticed this. It was really pointless to continue fighting like this, so he could only force her back temporarily. He was about to push Wu Niang away with his sword energy, when he suddenly found feathers one after another coming from "Seven Birds and Five Birds". "Fire Fan" floated out and then fell on him. The colors were different, including phoenix feathers, green luan feathers, and Bi Fang feathers. They were all the feathers of various divine birds, and these divine birds had one thing in common: they were good at Use flame.

Wu Niang smiled and said: "Burn into ashes."

There were more and more of these feathers, covering Wu Guangbi's entire body, and then various flames came out from the gaps in the feathers, burning Wu Guangbi into a flaming human form.

Qi Xuansu said deliberately: "Wu Niang, use all kinds of fire to refine him to death."

"What do you need to say? If I can refine him to death, I will definitely not be lenient. If I can't refine him to death, it's useless for you to say." Wuniang said, "Go and do your business."

Qi Xuansu stopped talking and moved towards Li Tianlan.

The brigade of spiritual officers finally surrounded them, waiting for Qi Xuansu's order.

The spiritual officials always arrive late after the matter is over.

However, Qi Xuansu did not count on them and ordered: "Capture a bunch of people."

The spiritual officers suddenly accepted the order and stepped forward.

Anyone can see that the situation for Li Cixi is over, and there is no need to worry about anything at this time.

However, the leading spiritual officer still asked specifically: "Chief, this Westerner seems to be the representative of the Holy See in Mary Cathedral."

Qi Xuansu only responded with three words: "I know."

The people below understood immediately and didn’t ask any more questions. Since Chief Qi knows this person's identity and ordered his arrest, it means that Chief Qi knows the consequences and does not need to remind him too much.

After Shi Luosi was backlashed, he had no power to fight back. Faced with the black hole of the gun, he surrendered very wisely: "Don't kill me, I am a representative of the Holy Court."

The faces of the second-grade spiritual officers were hidden under the dark visors, and their expressions could not be seen clearly. Apart from asking for instructions from their superiors, the spiritual officers hardly spoke and only waved their hands.

Two spiritual officers came forward and took Shi Luosi away.

Li Tianlan was punched twice by Qi Xuansu and was severely injured. These spiritual officers were not ordinary people. Not to mention the second-grade spiritual officers, the other spiritual officers were all fully armed and surrounded Li Tianlan. They were highly nervous and all the firearms in their hands were aimed at them. That’s right, Li Tianlan.

Li Tianlan didn't resist anymore and closed his eyes in despair.

The second-grade spiritual officer raised his hand and made a forward movement.

The spiritual officers moved forward slowly, while most of the spiritual officers still pointed blazing guns at Li Tianlan. Then two third-grade spiritual officers stepped forward and lifted the second deputy palace master off the city wall. .

Qi Xuansu said in a deep voice: "Take it away!"

On the other side, Wu Niang failed to refine Wu Guangbi after all. Various flames flickered on and off, and finally the feathers flew away, and then Wu Guangbi turned into a sword light and rose into the sky.

The leader of the avenue did not stop for a moment and ran away directly.

Just as the spiritual officials were about to raise their blunderbuss, Qi Xuansu raised his hand to stop him: "Don't waste your efforts, let him go."

It wasn't that Qi Xuansu was soft-hearted, but the greeting from Master Qingwei had an effect - until Li Tianlan.

Qi Xuansu is not a character who can walk sideways in the Taoist sect. Master Qingwei took a step back, and then he kicked his nose and face, which was a bit disrespectful.

Is Master Qingwei really a clay Bodhisattva?
