Chapter 40 Fool
"Thank you, Senior Jin, for escorting me all the way. This is a little thought from this junior, please be sure to accept it. With Senior Jin's cultivation level, he won't be able to use it, but the juniors in the family can always use it."
At the door of his residence on Xinming Street, Wu Tao held a small spiritual light-covering robe and handed it to Jin Ke.
Jin Ke looked at Wu Tao and felt that this Master Li was different from other weapon refiners in that he was well-mannered and well-mannered. Although he was sent to assist Shopkeeper Yu, Shopkeeper Yu asked him to occasionally protect others, which was fine, but To protect is a matter of affection, and not to protect is a duty. Many people cannot figure this out.
The weapon master named Li Mo in front of him could carry it clearly, which made Jin Ke feel very comfortable, and he was very willing to escort Li Mo all the way. He took the robe and said with a smile: "It's a small matter, then I'll go first Okay, Master Li, take care. Next time you deliver something to the spiritual materials shop, I will deliver it to you again."
"Senior Jin, walk slowly."
After watching Jin Ke leave, Wu Tao returned to the house, turned on the soundproof and anti-peeping formation, poured a cup of tea, sat on the Taishi chair he made, and drank tea while recalling what had just happened.
In fact, when he declined the invitation to join the Weapon Cultivation Masters Association, he thought that the other party might cause trouble, so he was cautious during this period.
Unexpectedly, I really came to intercept and kill him today.
The aura fluctuations of those two casual cultivators were clearly those of the fifth level of Qi refining.
Without Jin Ke's escort, he might have really run away.
With one at the fifth level of Qi Refining, he thought he could still give it a try, but with two, it wasn't too safe, so it would be better to use the Divine Walking Talisman to escape.
Stay cautious and you will live longer.
Thinking of Fang Ming's attitude in Yuexian Tower, I knew that these so-called Weapon Refiner Associations were definitely not good people. Also, any organization could be kind. If it was kind, it would be impossible to gain a foothold in this environment.
"The other party who dares to attack in the outer city must be trying to take advantage of this chaotic situation."
"Also, then Wu Zhongxing..."
Wu Tao has been in contact with Wu Zhongxing for a month, and he also has a general understanding of Wu Zhongxing, who is very naive. However, he is also a good person. He thought that to persuade him to join, he just used his emotions and reason, and his words were not overly aggressive.
Moreover, from a month of verbal conversations, Wu Zhongxing also told him that the original intention of their association was to allow the casual cultivators to advance and retreat together, watch and help each other, and live more calmly in this world.
"Advance together, retreat together, and help each other. If an organization can maintain this original intention when it is established, I believe it. But any original intention, once the hierarchy of president, vice president, and members is established, it is impossible to maintain the same original intention." Advance and retreat at the same time.”
Wu Tao has long seen through this.
It's not that he thinks something is wrong. Class is something inherent in a group, regardless of any living group. It is inevitable and cannot be eliminated. However, joining the association is indeed not in his interest.
"This month, Wu Zhongxing is indeed a good person. He came to inform me that Fang Ming wanted to take action against me. This seems like something he can do."
Wu Tao couldn't help but feel a little worried when he thought of Wu Zhongxing. Of course, he was not worried about Wu Zhongxing, but worried: "Xie Tao, Fang Ming, if these two people are not dead, they are indeed a threat to me."
"During this period, in addition to delivering goods, we will practice and improve our strength. We will settle the account after the meat refining stage is completed."
Although Wu Tao said he wanted to keep a low profile, people were going to kill him, so he couldn't remain indifferent.
Burying this matter deeply in his heart, Wu Tao began to practice. ‘6’ ‘9’ ‘s’ ‘h’ ‘u’ ‘x’ ‘.’ ‘c’ ‘o’ ‘m’
It was past noon the next day.
As soon as Wu Tao was about to practice the dragon spear technique, the soundproof and anti-peep formation sounded a beep. He hurried over and thought to himself: "Is it someone from the Demon-Slaying Hall and the patrol team coming to check again?"
He looked out of habit and saw that it was Wu Zhongxing.
Wu Zhongxing had known his address for a long time, but he never came to disturb him at home once. Even if he tried to persuade him to join the association, he would wait until he went out to set up a stall before showing up to persuade him.
It can be seen that he is a very principled person.
This visit must be about what happened yesterday.
Wu Tao had a clear mind, opened the door, cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist Wu!"
"Fellow Daoist Li, I came here because of what happened yesterday..." When Wu Zhongxing said this, he looked quite embarrassed, and he felt guilty.
"Fellow Daoist Wu, please come in and talk!"
"Thank you!"
After inviting Wuzhong Xing in, Wu Tao made him a cup of tea. Of course it couldn't be spiritual tea, but ordinary tea: "Fellow Taoist Wu, please have some tea!"
Then wait for Wu Zhongxing to explain what happened yesterday.
Wu Zhongxing did not drink tea, but took out two books, pushed them towards Wu Tao from the table, and said: "Fellow Daoist Li, these are the two most precious weapon refining secrets in our association. Please accept them, Friend Daoist Li."
Wu Tao looked at the titles of the books, "First-Level and Five-Level Spiritual Traveling Boots Refining Secrets" and "First-Level and Sixth-Level Magical Weapon Splitting Lightsaber Refining Secrets", and was slightly surprised. These two magical weapon refining books, for For casual cultivators, it is extremely precious.
Of course Wu Tao knew why Wu Zhong did this, but he gave such an important thing in the association to an outsider, and he was not afraid of punishment from Xie Tao and Fang Ming?
"Fellow Daoist Wu, I know what you mean, but this is too valuable. Are you afraid that President Xie and Vice President Fang will punish you for this?"
Hearing this, Wu Zhongxing sighed and said, "President Xie and Vice-President Fang died innocently at the hands of demonic cultivators because they broke into the association."
Wu Tao was startled, these two enemies were dead? He was also planning to spend thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. However, he always felt that something was wrong in his heart, but... he still believed what Wu Zhongxing said.
"Please forgive me..." Hahaha.
Wu Zhongxing did not answer, but stood up, bowed at right angles, and said sincerely: "Friend Li, Mr. Wu would like to apologize to you. If I hadn't recommended you to the association, you wouldn't have suffered this disaster for nothing."
"These two weapons refining secrets are my apology. I also ask fellow Daoist Li to accept them, otherwise Wu will feel uneasy."
Wu Tao looked at Wu Zhongxing, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Okay, Fellow Daoist Wu, I accept it. Fellow Daoist Wu, can you tell me the details of Fang Ming's interception and killing of me?"
Wu Zhongxing slowly told the story, saying that Xie Tao had murderous intentions when Wu Tao refused at Yuexian Tower. He also told what happened after that, but he said that when he arrived, Xie Tao and Fang Ming were still fine. Yes, after returning, the two of them died.
After listening to Wu Zhongxing's story, Wu Tao said expressionlessly: "If you don't get it, destroy it, and spread rumors that I want to join the Jiu Ming Powder Cultivation Masters Association, making something out of nothing... Is this Xie Tao's idea of creating the association?"
"Advance together and retreat together, watch and help each other...hehe..."
Wu Zhongxing's face turned gloomy. Obviously, this incident had a big impact on him. He had always believed that what he did was right. He never expected that he would be stabbed in the back by the person he believed in the most.
He said: "I have dissolved the association."
After finishing speaking, seeing Wu Tao no longer expressing his opinion, he couldn't help but ask: "Friend Li, you said that we casual cultivators are already suffering so hard, and our living space is being squeezed out by big sects like Wuquan Mountain, why do we still need to Persecuting each other?”
"I always thought that we casual cultivators should unite to resist the pressure of the cultivating sect, but I seem to have thought wrong... Fellow Daoist Li, do you think people like me are stupid?"
Wu Tao looked at Wu Zhongxing, and his heart fluctuated. He thought for a while and then said seriously: "You are not stupid. In fact, Wu Daoyou, there are many people like you, but you haven't noticed it."
"Really?"
Wu Zhongxing's eyes lit up.
Then, he stood up, solemnly handed over to Wu Tao, and said: "Fellow Daoist Li, I won't bother you. Take care. I wonder if we will have another chance to meet in the future."
Wu Tao returned the courtesy: "Wu Daoyou wants to leave?"
Wu Zhongxing said: "After this incident, I also want to understand. This Wuquan Mountain is too powerful, and the casual cultivators have no chance. I want to go to other immortal cultivation cities that are not so powerful. Maybe we casual cultivators still have A chance to resist.”
"Fellow Daoist Li, I'm going to look for fools, fools like me!"
"Fellow Daoist Li, goodbye!"
Wu Tao saw that Wu Zhongxing's face was no longer sad, but was full of excitement. He walked out of the door. The snow outside was melting, and the sun was shining on the ground and on Wu Zhongxing's body. He didn't know if it was an illusion. Wu Tao I feel that Wu Zhongxing is a bit dazzling at this time.
"Fellow Daoist Wu, I wish you success!"
Wu Tao gave his blessing to the brisk Wu Zhongxing from afar.
