Chapter 2444 Making Peace
Xu Yi patted Meng Fan on the shoulder, "Lord Meng, it is the greatest justice in the world that you are still alive. By the way, you have to hurry up about how you went to Biyou Academy."
Meng Fan was horrified and shocked. He finally came to his senses. Xu Yi kept him alive. In addition to using his hand to smooth the whole situation, he actually wanted to squeeze out the last of his value.
He joined the Biyou Academy as a lecturer, and as a rule, he could bring two or three attendants with him.
For others, it is almost impossible to have the opportunity to contact Biyou Academy. In other words, his entourage can also be sold.
Meng Fan had already thought about what he would get in exchange for these few places.
As soon as Xu Yi said this, he immediately understood his plan, but it was all in vain. Everything must come first to this old man.
How can he calculate everything?
…………
Saying goodbye to Meng Fan, Xu Yi headed towards Zangyou Peak, which was the hilltop assigned to him by the Council of Staff. Even though it was still incomparable to the Xiaofo Mountain that was newly renovated after the war, it was better than being familiar with it.
Just because of the wanted order, Zangyou Peak is still under investigation, and the servants have also been removed.
Xu Yi climbed up to the hidden peak, and saw that the mountains and rivers were silent and the forest ravines were deep. From time to time, there were living creatures jumping into the forest and ravines, adding a bit of wildness.
Xu Yi stepped on the green platform and climbed up the stairs. Suddenly he heard a man singing, "When an immortal is banished at the top of Qianren Peak, when will jade be planted into fields? The opening of the sutra is still in the pine shade. How many chapters of Nanhua have I read?"
Following the sound, I saw a woodcutter with a bright head standing a hundred feet away, wielding an ax to chop firewood, wearing coarse linen clothes, and his movements followed an inexplicable rhythm.
Xu Yi was surprised. He was a hundred feet away, but his senses didn't catch it.
It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that can't be avoided. Xu Yi didn't run away and continued to move up. When he got closer, the woodcutter stopped chopping wood, wiped his sweat, picked up the kettle from his waist, and drank a gulp of it. , with no wrinkles on his ruddy old face, he smiled at Xu Yi and said, "We are destined to meet each other. How about the next round?"
Xu Yi glanced at the jade pendant on the woodcutter's waist and said with a smile, "Then let's play the next game."
The other party did not hide his identity, and Xu Yi became curious.
The woodcutter waved his hand, and a pale chessboard fell on a square of bluestone, with nineteen lines running across it, just like the vast starry sky. With just a glance, he knew that this chessboard was a rare treasure.
Three games in a row were all draws.
After three games, Xu Yi stared at the chessboard, unable to regain his composure.
In terms of chess ability, he was better than the woodcutter by an unknown amount, but in the end, the game was always a draw.
Xu Yi racked his brains and couldn't figure out what the problem was.
After playing three games in a row, the woodcutter said, "It's God's will. It's boring to continue playing. It's better to make peace."
Xu Yi calmed his mind and stopped thinking about the chess game, saying, "Senior, using power to suppress others is not the way to make peace."
Xu Yi had seen the jade plaque hanging from the woodcutter's waist. It was the identity emblem of the Gong family.
The woodcutter used clever tactics to play three straight games of chess. He was obviously talking about a draw, but secretly he was saying that the conflict between Xu Yi and the Gong family should be settled at this point.
Xu Yi was not surprised that someone from the Gong family came to make peace.
After several confrontations, the Gong family suffered a lot of losses. What's more, he also heard from Meng Fan that Gong Yushang had a theory about him, called "luck comes to one's body", which was so mysterious that even he himself couldn't help it. Believed.
Xu Yi couldn't tell the cultivation level of the old man in front of him, but at least it surpassed Master Sun, and he might be the top expert who beheaded the corpse.
The stronger the opponent, the less Xu Yi can make peace easily. He knows that there is a saying in the world, "You can only make peace if you can fight."
If he spits out his words first to let others see what is true and what is false, maybe they will transform.
The woodcutter's eyes were gentle, and he seemed to see what Xu Yi was thinking, and said with a smile, "Don't think about that much. Gong is here just to make peace. After several times of dealing with each other, you have suffered, and my Gong family has also learned a lesson, and we will continue to fight." If you go down, you will be tired, and my Gong family will also feel uncomfortable. It is better to stop this inconvenient thing."
Xu Yi said, "Senior is right, but it has always been your Gong family who has been aggressive. I just have a slightly harder bone and lost a few of the Gong family's teeth. Senior made peace with me, can I understand that? It won’t kill me, so I won’t do it for the time being. Then I don’t know who to turn to for the suffering I’ve suffered these days.”
No matter what the woodcutter said, he couldn't be soft.
The woodcutter laughed dumbly, pointed at Xu Yi and said, "You are really interesting. For this reason, you dare to ask for benefits from me. Do you really think that Gong can't do anything to you?"
Xu Yi said, "Senior, what kind of person is he? Since he came to make peace, he should have thought clearly about everything before and after. If there is a possibility of killing him with one blow, senior would not be guilty of talking nonsense with me. Of course I believe in senior's sincerity in making peace, but senior The urge to destroy the junior is suppressed in my heart, but the senior is far-sighted and unwilling to gamble anymore, so as not to add variables. Therefore, he has the patience to talk nonsense with me. "
The smile on the woodcutter's face gradually solidified, and he pointed at Xu Yida and said, "Based on what you said, it seems that Gong made the right peace."
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a piece of jade appeared in Xu Yi's palm, "There is a secret method of sword cultivation in it. When you advance to the corpse-slaying realm, you can try to practice it. Don't let this rare treasure be covered in dust." .”
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and disappeared.
"I still want benefits..."
Before Xu Yi could open his mouth to shout, the woodcutter had disappeared.
This is the dullest negotiation he has ever seen so far. The result of the negotiation does not seem to have any binding force, but Xu Yi knows that the relationship between him and the Gong family has been resolved.
The ancestor of the Gong family was willing to go all the way, which already gave him a huge face.
Peace talks are not what he wants.
Who can practice peacefully and peacefully, but who wants to fight against the sky and the earth all day long, beware of this and be wary of that.
As soon as the big stone weighing on his heart was gone, Xu Yi felt that the world was wider.
Returning to the cave in Zangyou Peak, Xu Yi took out the sword-refining method and read it carefully.
It took him another two days and nights to complete the sacrifice in the purple space.
He had no corpse energy, so he could only temporarily refine blood essence. Originally, this kind of cool operation was difficult to achieve, but in the purple space, after countless permutations and combinations, he was able to do it.
Although this sword is still not as powerful as a sword, it is powerful enough to carry a sword for hundreds of miles.
Meng Fan's process of joining Biyou Academy as a lecturer went faster than expected. Three days later in the evening, news came that everything was fine.
And set the departure time for five days.
Xu Yi's original intention was to pick up Yan Zi and go with him, but calculating the time, Yan Zi was probably busy attacking the four realms of transcendence, so he suppressed his thoughts.
What's more, it may not be a good thing to rush into a place without knowing the situation for the first time.
Five days later, Xu Yi met Meng Fan at Xiaofo Mountain, and the three of them set off.
Meng Fan brought an old man named Jiang with him, saying that he was an old servant at home and had been serving him for many years. This long trip was just the right thing for him.
