Zong Pingzi's humble behavior greatly reduced the hostility towards him from everyone outside the court, and for a while no one came up to challenge him.
"This old Taoist priest is very good at life." Datou said in a low voice.
Changsheng smiled and didn't 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. Things like face and suffering. 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 mistake other people's kindness as stupidity and other people's humility as weakness. Seeing the humble words of the old Taoist priest, some people mistakenly thought that he was old and frail and lacked confidence. After a while, one of them used a knife to kill him. The martial arts warriors took the stage to challenge.
The man who wielded the sword must be in his mid-twenties, with a gloomy expression and a taciturn appearance. After taking the stage, he introduced himself very briefly, "The Eleventh Son of a Prodigal."
Seeing this man's unfathomable expression, everyone looked 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's because Shishiro wanted to die himself and insisted on pretending 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 soft words and being cruel must be done at the same time. If you only use cruel words without using soft words, it will be easy to offend people, and vice versa. Only speaking soft words without using harsh words will also be very harmful. Easily perceived as weak and easily bullied.
The reason why no one came on stage to challenge outside the court was not only Zong Pingzi's modest words and ruthless methods, but also another reason, that is, Zong Pingzi's back was turned to the red fairy from beginning to end. This was a very smart move. If He kept staring at the fairy in red, which easily aroused the jealousy of everyone outside the venue. And he could minimize the hostility of everyone outside the court by not looking at the red fairy. The 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. 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 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. However, as a member of the Taoist sect, Daozong Pingzi should not be ruthless. He can clearly win without taking human lives, but he just chooses to do so. The killing was painful and no one was left alive. This shows that Zong Pingzi's mind was not right and his moral character 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 He stopped answering the phone.
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. Changsheng can understand Zong Pingzi's approach. The method used by Zong Pingzi is different from that of Datou. The method is actually the same. They kill chickens to frighten monkeys, and kill to stop killing. If you don't kill the person who challenges, more people will come to the stage to challenge. Anyway, you won't lose anything if you lose. Those who are willing to challenge must know that their lives will be lost if they lose. Only in this way will they not dare to try easily.
The three people came to the stage to challenge, but they were all killed with one move. As a result, no one dared to come to the stage rashly. In fact, there were many people outside the stage who could defeat Zong Pingzi, but these people did not come to the stage to challenge. The reason was very simple. They were determined to defeat Zong Pingzi. They look down upon silver or gold charms and bronze charms.
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 live forever. Grabbing one bronze charm is enough. There is no need to be greedy.
As time passed, 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 am a poor man who knows the art of Qihuang. 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." , Pindao 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.
Changsheng didn't know Zong Pingzi well, nor did he 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. Be careful and strive to be foolproof. 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 due to face.
In addition, Zong Pingzi was also very precise about the timing. There were nine bronze talismans in total. He chose the third game. The variables in the first two games were too big 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 only chose this third match. Most people outside the venue had the same idea. Anyway, there were still six talismans behind him. He still had a chance. 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 fairy. He bowed his head and said to the red fairy, "Blessed is the infinite deity. In actual combat, human lives are hurt. I am a poor man and I have a bad heart. I am extremely unethical." Ashamed, thanks to the courtesy of all my colleagues in the world, I am lucky enough to win, and I would like to ask the fairy god to give me some advice."
Others may not notice this detail, but Changsheng sees 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 I am in awe of the red fairy. In addition, the senses of gods are much sharper than that 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 Master, what do you want to do after you get the bronze amulet?"
"Replying to the Fairy's question," Zong Pingzi bowed and answered, "The poor Taoist has 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 Immortal 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, and 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 stopped asking any 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."
"No, no, no, we can't be so arbitrary," Changsheng waved his hand and said, "Those who are resourceful and eloquent are not necessarily bad people. Those who are dull and arrogant are not necessarily good people..."
