When Mao Shanming heard this, he blinked his eyes immediately, then looked at Xu Ce eagerly, and then at Uncle Jiu, with a bitter look on his face, as if to say, are you kidding?
At this time, Uncle Jiu felt a little embarrassed, or he felt a little bit embarrassed about Mao Shanming, so he turned around and walked downstairs, pretending not to see anything.
Xu Ce, who was left behind, had a smile on his face and said lightly:
"If Fellow Daoist Mao doesn't say anything, I will treat you as accepting this test."
Mao Shanming immediately trembled, waved his hands and said:
"Wait a minute, fellow Taoist Xu, the poor Taoist has limited strength and is probably no match for the female bandit leader. Otherwise, let me become your disciple first. After your Taoism improves, how about the test?"
Xu Ce sneered in his heart, this guy's wishful thinking is really loud, and he still thinks about such good things. If you don't accept the test, how will I complete the check-in task!
To be honest, Xu Ce is much more depressed than Mao Shanming. In his hands, the female bandit leader could be slapped to death, but it turned out to be so complicated, and there was a very high chance of failure.
"Fellow Taoist Mao, if that's the case, let's wait until your Taoism has improved before becoming a disciple."
After Xu Ce finished speaking, he pretended to turn around and leave. He couldn't get too used to an old man like Mao Shanming. Without pressure, there would be no motivation. Moreover, he also wanted to see how much Mao Shanming wanted to become stronger.
will.
If he can't overcome this, even if he is forced to confront the female bandit leader, he will probably have to give up on the cheating and sign-in mission.
Watching Xu Ce turn around and leave, Mao Shanming looked troubled and had a complicated expression.
Mao Shanming thought of his life's experience. He had lived most of his life as a coward, to put it mildly, wandering around the world and living all over the world.
To put it harshly, he is a refugee with no fixed place to live. In the final analysis, his own abilities are not enough.
And that broken Maoshan Taoist book has been torn through by him, and he has learned everything he can, and this is where he stops in his life.
Suddenly, Mao Shanming's eyes turned red, he gritted his teeth and shouted:
"Fellow Daoist Xu, wait!"
Xu Ce, who had his back to Mao Shanming, paused slightly, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth that was difficult to detect. That's right, classmate Mao Shanming seemed to be a bit bloody.
Xu Ce turned around, the smile on his face faded, looked at Mao Shanming, and said in a cold voice:
"What's wrong with Fellow Daoist Mao?"
Seeing Xu Ce's expression of not letting strangers in, as we were not familiar with each other, Mao Shanming shouted loudly:
"Okay! I accept the test you mentioned! I have been a coward for half my life, and this time, I want to be awesome!
Isn't he just a female bandit leader, but Pindao got him in trouble!"
Xu Ce looked at Mao Shanming again. He couldn't believe that he was so firm. His words might arouse Mao Shanming's bloodiness, but this bloodiness was a bit too strong, so he said:
"Fellow Daoist Mao, you must have thought about it, you may die."
Mao Shanming said firmly:
"Everyone is destined to die. It may be lighter than a hair or heavier than a mountain!"
I, Mao Shanming, don’t have any big ambitions, I just want to live for myself!
Fellow Daoist Xu, please stop trying to persuade me or test my acceptance!"
Xu Ce was really uncomfortable with it. He felt uncomfortable all over. When these words came out of Mao Shanming's mouth, even though they might be true, they still had a strong feeling of deception.
Well, Xu Ce admitted that he looked at it with preconceptions and tinted glasses.
If everything Mao Shanming said is sincere, Xu Ce still has to give a thumbs up, what a man!
Xu Cequan thought Mao Shanming was telling the truth, gave a thumbs up and said:
"Taoist Master Mao, I admire you! I look forward to the day when I will officially call you uncle!"
"Officially call me Uncle Master..."
Hearing this, Mao Shanming nodded more firmly and said:
"Fellow Daoist Xu, it will be very soon!"
"Go down and have something to eat, and then go to the Yamen cell to prepare. If nothing else happens, tonight or tomorrow night, I'm afraid the female bandit leader is coming."
Xu Ce waved and walked downstairs again. Uncle Jiu had already ordered breakfast, white rice porridge, steamed buns and sauerkraut, which was quite appetizing.
After sitting down, Uncle Jiu looked at him differently and said:
"Fellow Taoist Mao, I, Maoshan, also have Maoshan's rules. I hope you won't take offense."
Mao Shanming waved his hand indifferently and said:
"It doesn't matter, if there are no rules, there won't be a circle, so that's fine.
It’s just that, Uncle Jiu, Brother Daoist Xu, if I really can’t beat Pindao, you won’t really sit idly by and watch me die, right?”
Xu Ce just took a sip of rice porridge and was choked by Mao Shanming's words. Now he came to his senses. No wonder Mao Shanming agreed so straightforwardly. It turned out that he also had his own plans in mind.
If you win the fight, your dream will come true, and you will be on your lap.
If you lose the fight, it won't be a big deal if you can go back to your original life.
As expected of a veteran, awesome.
Uncle Jiu did not answer directly, but looked at Xu Ce. Since this was Xu Ce's plan, it was up to Xu Ce to explain.
"Fellow Daoist Mao, of course we won't just watch you die, but as the saying goes, when fighting, fists and feet have no eyesight. If we accidentally delay a little bit, it will eventually lead to..."
Xu Ce paused deliberately for the next words and did not say them out loud, then continued:
"But Fellow Daoist Mao doesn't have to worry too much. As long as Fellow Daoist Mao can hold on to a stick of incense in the hands of the female bandit leader, he has passed the test."
What Xu Ce wants is ten minutes, which is almost fifteen minutes for one stick of incense. In this way, if you can really persist, you can still make a small fortune.
Thinking of this, Xu Ce secretly shook his head again. He could really do it for ten minutes, just Amitabha. Why else would he expect to do anything else?
"Is this true?"
Xu Ce had no hope, but Mao Shanming asked excitedly.
The implication is that there is no need to go all out. As a qualified veteran, as long as he does not go all out, he has many skills to save his life.
"Of course it is true, Fellow Daoist Mao, but don't think about avoiding the battle. Once the female bandit leader rescues the second and third masters, it will also be regarded as a failure of your test."
Xu Ce added.
Mao Shanming does not care about Tao,
"Don't worry, if you say this, I will be much more sure."
For a moment, Xu Ce looked into Mao Shanming's eyes, his energy and energy were different, he seemed to be very confident.
Is it really possible?
"Fellow Daoist Mao, seeing that you are so confident makes me feel more at ease."
Uncle Jiu was happy for Mao Shanming.
"Uncle Jiu is a very benevolent and righteous man. I have made a commitment to you, my senior brother, and I have also made a decision to have Xu Ce, my nephew!"
Mao Shanming is extremely heroic.
Where does the confidence come from? Xu Ce looked uncomfortable, okay, I'll wait for your performance!
