Chapter 321: Show mercy to others but not yourself
Sun Huo was still sitting in his original position, his eyes a little distracted.
Driving Mu Xin away was an impromptu decision he made. Such a decision was not part of the previously planned plan.
Although he had been ordered to be the executor of the task, after listening to the news brought by Mu Xin, Sun Huo felt more like an involuntary chess piece, being pushed to face many unexpected changes, rather than being able to
Taking the initiative to control the progress of the situation, the sect is no longer a pure helper and assistance. With its own strength, it is impossible to protect Mu Xin from being involved, and he does not even know when he will become an abandoned son.
For this reason, he had to prepare for the worst. If the mission failed, he could at least minimize the damage to Mu Xin. In his haste, he had no time to make a thorough plan, so he had to borrow his identity.
When it’s time to start spreading the word, don’t despise the pretense of being unworthy of fellowship if you fake your status.
Although this move was very simple and crude, but considering that Bai Qi's betrayal happened without warning, Sun Huo also felt that there was nothing wrong with his actions. Although such a rejection may not necessarily make him give up and break up the relationship between the two.
The friendship has also opened the beginning of the estrangement, and then we can make decisions based on the future development of the situation.
After being silent for a while, Sun Huo finally regained his composure with his eyes. Because he didn't know when the sword trial meeting would start, he turned back to the study and took the time to observe the surface of the Bingyao Bow.
Regardless of whether they recognize the talisman formations they are engraved on or not, they should copy and record them first, and then elaborate and understand them.
The days of not paying attention to what was going on outside the window lasted for five days.
When Sun Huo appeared again and stepped out of the main hall, he saw at a glance above the courtyard, there were more than ten transmission notes of different colors, separated by an invisible barrier, circling and flying like butterflies through flowers.
Non-stop. It's only been five days, and he has never seen so many people sending messages to him at once.
Seeing this scene, Sun Huo raised his cold eyebrows slightly, took out the prohibition token, and lightly swiped it into the void. Suddenly, all the transmission notes flew into his hands as if they had found their target. He did not return to the house under the porch.
, Sun Huo began to check the contents one by one.
Unsurprisingly, a small part of these transmission notes were greetings and congratulations from several daily acquaintances in Tiangong Hall. After hearing this, Sun Huo just rolled his eyes secretly without saying much.
After all, his position in the Tiangong Hall is indeed rather awkward. On the surface, he neither takes on the task of refining weapons nor has he mastered special skills to create any outstanding works. This makes other disciples privately very unhappy. Naturally, they are not too upset.
Good popularity. But unfortunately, the two successive palace masters have always turned a blind eye to this matter. They secretly inquired about Sun Huo's origins, but found nothing. Now that they suddenly saw the news about Sun Huo, it seemed that
His combat power is extraordinary, so he naturally wants to maintain the relationship.
In addition, most of the other transmission notes were actually congratulatory and solicitous words from the sect's affiliated families or other forces that Sun Huo had heard of or had never heard before, inviting him to come and get acquainted with him whenever he could.
Especially the four families that I had visited before, they were so humble in every word, and there was no slightest hint of contempt for the younger ones. There were even a few families who did not shy away from hinting that there were girls of the same age in the family who could interact with each other.
Understand, understand and exchange cultivation/training experiences.
Hearing this information, Sun Huo couldn't help but reveal a wry smile on his face. How could he not understand the meaning here? Regardless of the hidden solicitation intention, it was because of what happened in the past that he himself was currently
I had no intention of looking for someone to keep me company. It was really a wrong idea to use this method.
It wasn't until he heard the last two transmission notes that Sun Huo's expression became serious.
One of them was still sent by Mu Xin, and the content in it was a brief account of the origin of the silver-haired boy Xu Chengtian.
Speaking of this child's past, it is quite embarrassing. It was the second master who brought him back to join the sect when he was traveling.
It is said that the man was unconscious on the road and was rescued. When they met, he was covered in blood and exhausted. After he was rescued, he claimed that his family was rich in business, but he did not expect to meet a giant thief who coveted him. The family was destroyed by a natural disaster. Only
He managed to escape alone.
While the second master was treating his injuries and inspecting his body, he unexpectedly discovered that his human bones were extremely good and could be used to practice Taoism. After obtaining his consent, he introduced him as his disciple. Unfortunately, this son probably missed him too much.
Regarding the revenge of my family, I was eager for quick success in cultivation, and I rushed to make breakthroughs before my foundation was stable, which led to my obsession.
Although he was discovered by the second master in time and used magical elixirs and secret techniques to treat and guide him, he achieved the current level of cultivation in the middle stage of foundation construction, but it also left fatal hidden dangers. Within ten years, this son's cultivation
Because I will no longer be able to make any progress.
Perhaps because of this, Xu Chengtian later became aggressive, like a martial arts idiot who would challenge the so-called masters in the sect, and the trouble was that his lack of discretion would often injure people. Ordinary disciples/
The son was worried about his master's background, so he could only pinch his nose and admit his bad luck. Even though some people had extraordinary backgrounds and the master came to complain about them, the second master seemed to have great pity for the son because of his poor background, and he didn't know how to help him.
How much blame has he shouldered?
Therefore, although Xu Chengtian appears to have a high level of cultivation on the surface, his reputation is not very obvious. In fact, other disciples in the sect do not want to be involved with him.
Knowing this, Sun Huo couldn't help but sympathize with Xu Chengtian more, and he could also understand his somewhat extreme and stubborn behavior towards him in the past. The weak and powerless in the moment of disaster will be forever.
I can't forget the nightmare, and I don't know if this family feud has been resolved, so I am so obsessed with defeating every opponent who appears in front of me.
However, these are not what Sun Huo needs to consider immediately, because he thinks that he has never hurt Xu Chengtian, and he even faked defeat and was injured in his hands in a previous gambling fight. In any case, he has ruined the face of the disciples of the second master.
, so that he would not go out of his way to cause trouble for himself.
What he was more concerned about was what Mu Xin was thinking at the moment. But apart from Xu Chengtian's information, there was no other information in the transmission notes. Therefore, Sun Huo couldn't tell whether his previous intentional alienation was.
What effect did it have on Mu Xin? Is the information sent this time still out of concern between brothers, or is it because he has a grudge but has to carry out the reminder under Wu Yun's instructions.
The last transmission note was the invitation from Su Hongying. Apparently, he was busy studying the runes on the Bingyao Bow and unintentionally delayed the time without replying, which made the other party unable to sit still and had no choice but to
Do not take the initiative to test.
What's interesting is that her invitation was not like other people's usual invitation to Sun Huo to come and visit, but she mentioned that a treasure appreciation event was going to be held at Zuimeng Tower in Beixifang City, and she sincerely invited her to come and appreciate it. Therefore.
, along with the transmission note, there was also a gold-painted red paper invitation. Counting the time, it happened to be today.
After these days of seclusion, Sun Huo has indeed gained some experience in refining magical weapons. According to normal thinking, he will naturally return to Tiangong Hall to collect the materials for refining weapons to try and refine them. But since Su Hong
Sakura needs to know her attitude when sending out invitations, so if she goes there now, it will not only appease people's hearts but also not be rude, and it probably won't take much time.
Having already made a decision, Sun Huo politely responded to the other people's transmission talismans one by one, but when it came to Mu Xin, he hesitated for a while after speaking, and then he still held the sealed transmission talisman in his hand.
Ruined.
After looking back into the house and thinking for a while, Sun Huo realized that he had not left anything behind, and then left his house with his weapon.
Halfway through, Sun Huo stopped because he suddenly realized that he had never been to Beixifang City before, and now he rushed there but didn't know which direction to go. More importantly, he followed the invitation.
At the time written on the sign, it was already not early when he came out. If he asked someone for directions again, he might have missed the entrance while wandering around. Not to mention being rude, it might even make Su Hongying angry.
A bigger misunderstanding.
The person took out the invitation in mid-air. Sun Huo was hesitating whether to continue moving forward or go back home. He inadvertently turned over the folded paper in his hand, and suddenly a compass pattern appeared.
In front of me, there is another spoon-shaped shadow in the middle, pointing unsteadily in a certain direction.
After secretly praising the invitation for its thoughtfulness and convenience, Sun Huo quickly determined the direction and sped away.
After flying for nearly a meal, Sun Huo finally arrived at Beixifang City, which was indicated in the invitation.
To his surprise, this place was indeed a small market built along the banks of a small mountain stream. As far as the eye could see, there were pavilions and pavilions, which were particularly exquisite and elegant. If it weren't for the fact that there was a tower in front of him that was obviously the entrance.
The stone gatehouse had the four characters "Beixifang City" clearly written on it on the plaque. Sun Huo also mistakenly thought that he had come to the private villa territory of some master by mistake, or that Su Hongying had not said that.
True, it is called appreciating treasures but actually it passes the government.
In addition, he also found that the environment here is indeed very quiet, which is completely different from the cities he has been to before. There is no noisy atmosphere with people coming and going. Even at a glance, the entire road is empty, with only
Only two or three figures flashed past quickly, and only the shops on both sides looked bright.
Such a lonely scene that went against common sense made Sun Huo murmur in his heart. But when he thought that this place was still within the gate of Luoyun Sect, no matter how bad the situation was, nothing would happen here, he suddenly felt that he was thinking.
There were so many that some of them became timid. Some of them laughed at themselves and shook their heads. Then Sun Huo cheered up and strode inside.
The streets here are built on the spot along the slope, with irregular twists and turns, and many branch roads leading to different places. It is very suitable for sightseeing and entertainment and relaxing the mind. Fortunately, with the invitation guide in hand, Sun Huo quickly
He came to the place where Zuimeng Tower was, otherwise he felt that he would have to walk for a long time to find the place.
Compared with other shop buildings around it, the two-story Zuimenglou, although its railings and jadework are gorgeous and gorgeous, is small and exquisite compared to the floor area and space volume. It can be used in such a small place.
/ What kind of treasure appraisal meeting should be held? This was Sun Huo's question when he saw it for the first time /.
From a distance, he could see two rows of brightly dressed servants standing on both sides of the gate in front of Zuimeng Tower. In the short period of time when he approached, Sun Huo saw two or three people arriving one after another and being followed by others.
Reception is introduced into it.
When he came closer, a servant raised his feet and seemed to be coming forward to greet Sun Huo as usual, but his body suddenly stopped in place. This strange sight made Sun Huo's eyes shrink slightly.
"The distinguished guests have arrived, and the little girl is really disappointed to welcome them."
Before he finished speaking, a young woman in a light blue palace dress walked out of the door, bowed her eyebrows and gave a Wanfu salute with a slight smile.
Sun Huo's eyes lit up. It was true that the visitor was Su Hongying, but her demeanor at this moment was different from last time, showing the gentleness and virtuousness of everyone. With a sudden change of mind, he roughly understood what was going on.
He quickly returned the gift with cupped fists.
"You are so polite, Fellow Daoist Su. There are people here to greet you. There is really no need for you to come out to greet me in person. You must have waited for a long time. It is really embarrassing for Sun." Sun Huo smiled slightly, as if there had never been a conflict between the two.
He said humbly.
Su Hongying shook her head, with a look of tenderness on her pretty face. "Young Daoist Sun must be here for the first time, so you don't know that Zuimenglou was opened by my Su family. So the little girl came out to greet her.
It's just a matter of fulfilling my duty as a landlord. I didn't expect that fellow Taoist Sun would be such a punctual person, and he arrived at the right time, which actually made you laugh."
Hearing this, Sun Huo felt a little embarrassed. He did not arrive at the appointment on time, but arrived here in a hurry. However, it was not easy to expose his shortcomings in this situation.
"Sun knew the language roughly, and occasionally saw something in the book. When meeting someone, it would be rude to come too early or too late, so I calculated the time before setting off. I didn't want to cause fellow Taoist Su any trouble. I'm really sorry.
"Sun Huo looked at each other and nodded slightly.
After saying this calmly, Sun Huo exclaimed in his heart that he was lucky that he didn't read those books in vain with those famous teachers in the academy, otherwise he wouldn't have known how to respond at this time.
Su Hongying's face was filled with joy. She couldn't help but glance at Sun Huo a few more times, and then turned sideways to make a gesture of invitation.
"Fellow Daoist Sun is interested. Please come in with me."
As she spoke, she smiled sweetly at Sun Huo again, and then walked in front of him.
