Pang Ban's attitude caught Shen Hao off guard. He had thought that Pang Ban might have "disgust" or "ignore" or "disgust" and other reactions to this matter, but he never thought that Pang Ban would show such a He looked very happy, and this happy look could never be faked.
Because this was beyond Shen Hao's expectation, he didn't know how to answer for a while, so he could only smile.
But Pang Ban didn't stop there. Instead, he took something out of his storage bag and put it on the table.
Shen Hao saw a two-inch gold-priced accessory placed on the table. The style was almost exactly the same as the one in his hand, except that it was smaller. There was no soul fluctuation on it, but he could still feel that it was a magic weapon.
"Sir, what are you..."
"This golden sword is the same as yours. It was made by Patriarch Yang Shan. The only difference is that your one has the soul mark of Patriarch Yang Shan on it, which is a token for the disciples of Yi Man; while mine does not have the soul mark. A token for the named disciple."
"ah?"
"Hahaha..." Pang Ban smiled even more heartily, pointed at Shen Hao and said: "Now you know why I am so happy? Hey! Still don't know? Well, I will explain it to you today. explain."
Shen Hao was still in a daze. When facing the ruthless and stern commander of the past, he now showed kindness like never before, and it was the kind of kindness that came from the heart. There was no majesty like before that made people stay away from him.
Just listen to Pang Ban say: "Back then, I was also a rare spiritual genius. My family was related to the royal family, and I was barely considered a member of the royal family.
Later, I arrived at the Yuan Dan realm smoothly. I thought I could continue to practice, but in the end, my state of mind went astray during a practice, and my heart was blocked in one breath and I almost lost my life. After that, my life was restored, but my cultivation dropped by two small levels, and even my talent was almost cut in half..."
This was a heart-to-heart talk, so Shen Hao listened quietly and carefully. He could feel Pang Ban's sadness when he talked about the past. A genius suddenly encounters a big change in his life. The psychological shock between ups and downs and the changes in the world around him are enough to knock him down.
However, Pang Ban was very lucky. An experience of being provoked by a disciple in the villa changed his life.
"At that time, five of my former junior brothers were sarcastic and provocative to me. I suffered serious internal injuries due to my fall in the realm, so I was treated in a very embarrassed manner. I was so angry that I was ready to fight to the death. If nothing happened, I would have to support me. So what if I died?
Unexpectedly, Patriarch Yang Shan just returned from an outing and saw the following farce on Yunjia, so he stopped. And asked why. As a result, my ancestor saw that I was pitiful, so he helped me check my meridians and said he could save me.
As a result, in just half a month, ancestors Yang Shan and Yang Qingzhi joined forces to help me resolve the hidden wounds in my body and reawakened my talents that had been cut in half.
Then I rushed all the way to Xuanhai and became the registered disciple of Patriarch Yang Shan.
But later on, my talent reached its limit, and I was not on the same page with many people in Fenghong Villa, so I took a job and went to Xuanqing Guard, so I didn't waste the rest of my life. "
Losing courage on the path of spiritual practice and choosing another way of life instead of stubbornly continuing to practice hard, in Shen Hao's opinion, is a sign of great wisdom.
It sounds easy to pick up and put down, but in fact it is not simple at all. At least Shen Hao asked himself and was not sure whether he could be so free and easy under Pang Ban's situation.
Don't think that Pang Ban's appointment as the commander of the Xuanqing Guard is a good job. You must know that he is a high-ranking Xuanhai monk. Just look at Duan Jue and others' attitude towards worldly affairs. You will know that they are completely avoided. , in the eyes of Xuanhai Realm monks, worldly rights may not be as interesting as a magic book.
Therefore, Pang Ban's position as the commander of the Xuanqing Guard was never a lucky thing for him. It was a choice he had no choice but to compromise with himself after his courage failed in the hopeless path of cultivation. It also requires courage and determination, and of course there is also pressure that needs to be withstood.
These are not difficult to think of. While listening to the stories told by Pang Ban, Shen Hao more or less understood some of the persistence and helplessness in Pang Ban's heart.
No wonder Pang Ban never used a friendly tone when mentioning Fenghong Villa before, even though he was also from Fenghong Villa. Now Shen Hao has the answer to this. Because Fenghong Villa was not a glamorous place in Pang Ban's experience. There were more and more profound memories of the gloomy times when he encountered the low point in his life. It's natural that I don't have a good impression of Fenghong Villa. He himself said that he left Fenghong Villa because he was not on the same page with many people in the Villa.
After talking so much, it was a heart-to-heart talk, and it was also clarifying Shen Hao's new interpersonal relationships.
Yes, it's the new one, the relationship between him and Pang Ban.
Not on the right path?
Shen Hao is very wise and does not reject the change in this relationship at all, and even feels unexpectedly happy. This is essentially the same as the change in the relationship between him and Jiang Cheng, except that it is different from an active change and a passive change.
"Shen Hao has met senior brother!" He immediately stood up from his chair and bowed politely, in full compliance with the etiquette of the sect.
Pang Ban stood up when he saw this, laughed, walked to Shen Hao and raised his hand to help him up, and patted Shen Hao's shoulder hard to show his kindness.
"Very good! Ancestor Yang Shan has been looking for a disciple of the mantle for many years, but now he has taken a fancy to you. You should cherish this opportunity and practice with the ancestor for the rest of your life."
Shen Hao didn't know why Pang Ban claimed to be Yang Shan's registered disciple but did not call Yang Shan "master" but "ancestor", but this did not prevent him from expressing his close acknowledgment of the changes in this interpersonal relationship. Even if according to the rules, he has not yet performed the apprenticeship ceremony and has not entered the gate, he is not qualified to call Pang Ban "senior brother". These are not important at the moment. Both of them consciously ignored these details.
"Thank you, senior brother, for the tip. I will definitely remember it and don't neglect it."
Pang Ban patted Shen Hao's shoulder again and asked him to sit down. He himself stood in the room, holding the tea cup with a smile, and said: "Did the ancestor tell me how to arrange for you?"
This seemingly casual sentence made Shen Hao's heart tighten.
"Replying to Senior Brother, Master has no arrangements for this yet. He just said that he would go to Fenghong Villa as soon as possible."
Pang Ban smiled and didn't speak for a while, then said after a while: "You are a smart person, you have to know how to choose."
"Yes, senior brother is right. But Shen Hao is used to a small style. He likes the worldly world and the atmosphere in the Xuanqing Guard. He also likes to be a firefly in the dark. It's not that difficult to choose." Hao thought for a moment and finally revealed his inner thoughts honestly.
