"I dare to ask, senior, is it true that sword cultivators don't take action when there is a request?"
Ding Xiaoyi felt some obscure messages from the old man's eyes.
From the old man's eyes, he could feel that the old man didn't have a good look on the sword cultivator.
If it weren't for the ancient elf who brought him into this courtyard, the old man might have issued an order to expel him.
"ah……",
The ancient elf was surprised, with a look of confusion on her face.
But she didn't expect that Ding Xiaoyi seemed to have insight into the old man.
And he dared to face the legendary master of talisman formation directly. Ding Xiaoyi's question was beyond the ancient elf's expectation.
What kind of crooked truth is it that a sword cultivator won't take action when he has a request?
"Young man, you are very self-aware."
"Yes, one of my three principles of not taking action is that sword cultivators should not take action when they ask for something."
"What I hate the most is swordsmen. They are so awesome all the time, as if they are invincible. I just don't like it. What's wrong with me?"
After listening to the old man's angry words like a three-year-old child, Ding Xiaoyi couldn't help but laugh.
Gu Yanning is definitely one of the top ten strong men in Dayong. Even a monk in the Heaven Realm is a bit weaker.
This has nothing to do with the realm of cultivation, but a new realm of understanding the will of the great road.
The old gentleman from Shushan is also one of the peerless strong men he knows. It is unknown whether the master of the Talisman Formation in front of him or the old gentleman from Shushan is weaker or stronger.
But he knew that he would never be able to withstand a move in the hands of this legendary master of talisman, unless he used the paper sword.
The hidden dragon and crouching tiger of Dayong Dynasty are not just words.
"Let's go, Miss Gu, thank you for your kindness."
Ding Xiaoyi saw the resentment and anger in the old man's eyes. He and the sword cultivator may have an irresolvable grudge.
He also didn't want the old man in front of him to go against his true intentions.
If the sword cultivator refuses to make a request, then he won't ask for it himself.
"But……",
The ancient elf couldn't help but be startled when she heard this. She didn't expect that things were beyond her expectations.
She looked at the old man blankly but was at a loss. Before she could speak, the Talisman Master had already refused.
Ding Xiaoyi has his own pride and dignity,
Since the other party refused, he would naturally not ask again.
"It doesn't matter, I'll think of a way." Ding Xiaoyi said calmly to the ancient elf,
However, the ancient elf sighed, and finally said to the old man: "Disciple resigned."
The old man said nothing, but calmly watched Ding Xiaoyi and others trying to leave the courtyard.
"Wait a minute, aren't you going to play with me?" The pretty little girl on the side asked the ancient elf loudly,
There was hope in her eyes.
Seeing the innocent and clear eyes of the little girl, the ancient elf's heart trembled slightly, as if she saw herself.
"It's okay. If you want to stay, just stay." Ding Xiaoyi looked at the embarrassed ancient elf and couldn't help but comfort him.
The ancient elf is also an orphan. She knows what it is like to be lonely.
So when she looked at this little girl, she must have thought of everything that happened to her when she was a child.
At that time, she was also lonely.
Although Ning Wuzhe accepted her as his disciple, she was often alone.
At that time, she had no friends and could only follow her master every day as a follower.
The city of killing was even more chaotic, and the master wouldn't let her make friends.
Later, when I grew up, I started to have my own opinions.
But there were no true friends in the killing city until she met Ding Xiaoyi and Xue Ningshang.
She also came up with the idea of leaving the killing city.
So she followed Ding Xiaoyi and Xue Ningshang out of the Killing City, which also opened up a whole new world for her.
"Xiaotian, be good, Sister Gu and the others still have something to do."
When the old man saw the little girl's aggrieved expression, his face couldn't help but twitch, and the corners of his eyes suddenly became moist.
He stroked the little girl's head and persuaded.
Strong men are lonely, and he is no exception.
Every strong man comes out of loneliness. He hopes that the little girl can become a strong man.
"No, I finally came to you today. Why don't you help them? You just don't like Tian'er?"
The little girl let out an aggrieved sob.
"Okay, Xiaotian, don't cry. Just leave them to play with you, okay?"
Gu Yanning hurriedly knelt down and comforted the little girl.
Seeing this scene in front of him, the tip of Ding Xiaoyi's nose couldn't help but feel sour.
He had the same fate as the ancient elf and the little girl called Xiaotian.
They have had no parents since they were young, and they don't know who their parents are, but Ding Xiaoyi's master taught him how to practice in the same way.
At that time,
The master took him to travel all over the country,
I have visited most of the prefectures and cities in Dayong, as well as all the famous mountains and rivers.
For Ding Xiaoyi, his cultivation is a free-ranging style.
There are no harsh requirements or too many constraints.
Therefore, Ding Xiaoyi has a cheerful and free personality, he is optimistic and not afraid of difficulties.
The little girl was obviously well protected by the old man, but she also suffered a lot from the master of the talisman array.
Ding Xiaoyi couldn't help but sigh secretly, no matter how strong a strong man is, he still has his own weaknesses.
That little girl is the weakness of the legendary Talisman Master. Of course, he is not despicable enough to take advantage of the little girl.
"Really?" the little girl laughed through tears,
She looked at the ancient elf and the others with innocent eyes, filled with longing.
When the ancient elf saw this, it was hard for her to refuse such an innocent little girl.
Although Xue Ningshang couldn't feel this feeling, she could understand everything from the little girl's eager eyes.
"Her name is Gu Xiaotian, she is a baby I picked up on the roadside." The old man sat stroking his beard and said proudly to Ding Xiaoyi.
A wine gourd appeared in Ding Xiaoyi's hand, and he handed his wine gourd to the old man.
The old man and the young man had a tacit understanding and did not mention what happened just now. They drank heavily.
After three rounds of drinking,
The old man's cheeks became more and more rosy, and he watched with great relief as the ancient elf took Gu Xiaotian to play in the courtyard.
Xue Ningshang also seemed to be infected by the atmosphere, and she also played with the little girl unscrupulously.
"Senior, have you ever thought about helping Xiaotian find his parents?"
Ding Xiaoyi thought of his miserable life experience, and he couldn't help but curiously asked the old man.
I came to the imperial capital, but I still haven't found my life experience. The resonance from my bloodline has never happened.
"So what if she finds it? Can she go back to her parents? Her parents are just passers-by to her. Only practice is eternal. This little girl will have a day If you are endowed with aura, your achievements will naturally be no less than those of me.”
The old man looked at the little girl with a beautiful smile and said with relief.
"Your wine is too strong, try my bar."
The wine gourd that Ding Xiaoyi handed over was rejected by the old man. He took out his own wine gourd and said to Ding Xiaoyi.
Ding Xiaoyi was not polite, raised his head and took a big gulp.
The old man's wine is indeed not as good as the wine in his wine gourd. It is soft and silky in the mouth and full of flavor.
"Senior, why are you prejudiced against sword cultivators?"
In the end, Ding Xiaoyi couldn't suppress his curiosity, and he couldn't help but ask the old man.
He felt that this old man was very repulsive to sword cultivators. This legendary master of talisman formations must also have had a difficult time.
Looking back on the past.
He wanted to know, and it was time to listen to the story.
"Haha, it's all an old story. When I was young, swordsmanship was like a dog. There is a saying in the spiritual world, everything is inferior, only swordsmanship is high. When I was young, I also thought about it. I can travel to the ends of the world with my angry horse and sword, but I have limited qualifications and don’t have any talent in the way of the sword. In the end, I can only walk out of this talisman formation."
"Then it's not like there is such a big prejudice against sword cultivators. There are thousands of great avenues, all of which lead to the same goal. Whether it is the first path of swordsmanship or the cultivation of talisman formations, they are all inseparable from the same sect. There are three thousand avenues, and each path has been cultivated to the extreme. , you can break the shackles and reach the peak."
"Having said that, I am not willing to give in. With a sword in my hand, I can enjoy grudges and grudges. What a pleasant life it is. The talisman array is complicated and boring. If I hadn't made up my mind to practice this, My life may have passed by in a hurry, and I have been buried long ago.”
Ding Xiaoyi could imagine that in this era of the legendary talisman master, swordsmen were like dogs walking around.
Sword cultivation is the mainstream practice.
Every practitioner takes sword cultivation as his pride, which causes other cultivations to plummet.
No matter which sect you belong to, or what kind of cultivation method you are practicing, a hundred flowers should bloom.
