Immortal Cultivation Simulation, I'm Not a Bad Woman

If it is too low, you will seem useless; if it is too high, you will seem unruly.

It's not that he has too many thoughts or is worried. What if this is a test from the senior? Isn't that what it says in the storybook?

But this password is really strange.

He worked in the Dark Hall of the Fushan Sect and had done many jobs for the sect, both in the black and white worlds, but he had never heard of such an incomprehensible code.

Forget it, let’s just take whatever the senior says.

The thief shook his head, put aside his doubts, and quietly left the escort agency.

He had to go back and think carefully about how to receive the disciple sent by the senior to convey the message tomorrow. He had to show his best side.

Lu Zhiqiu, who had already walked far away, of course had no idea about the messy thoughts in the little thief's mind.

She is now thinking about tomorrow.

The reason why she didn't take it on the spot but agreed to meet again tomorrow was simple.

She remembered that Xu Xianxian had always been clamoring to travel the world and do justice, so she let Xu Xianxian join in to satisfy her own desires and fulfill her wish.

Chapter 6: Connection

The next day, Lincang Academy.

The sky was clear and the air was fresh, and it was another pleasant day. The chirping of spring orioles could be heard from time to time in the academy, adding a touch of luxury to the quiet school.

In a room.

"Mr. Xiao Lu, why did the ancients say 'a gentleman is not an instrument'?"

"If a person can master a certain skill, that's fine, right? Why would the ancient sages consider him ungentlemanly?"

Lin Pingzhi raised his hand and asked a question.

He was the oldest student in the school. After all, he was sent to the academy by his father when he was twelve years old.

But not only did he not suffer discrimination, he became the backbone of this group of students with his outstanding martial arts skills and cheerful personality. Everyone also respected him as Brother Lin on weekdays.

At the same time, he is indeed very studious and will boldly ask questions in class if he has any.

In particular, he had met the newcomer, Mr. Lu, once before. He had come to the aid of a gangster who was harassing him, but in the end, due to his lack of strength, the girl next to Mr. Lu had to settle the situation.

Lu Zhiqiu looked at Lin Pingzhi with interest and said with a smile:

"A gentleman is not an instrument, and there are many directions in which he can be expounded."

"For example, if you're a martial artist, but you only train your strength and your speed and defense are very slow, can you win a fight?"

Lin Pingzhi opened his mouth, but finally shook his head and said:

"Maybe, maybe not."

Lu Zhiqiu said again:

"What would happen if a person only had martial arts skills but lacked the breadth of mind and wisdom to match them?"

Lin Pingzhi seemed to be lost in thought.

Lu Zhiqiu continued:

"Just like your father, his success in running the Fuwei Escort Agency was entirely due to his martial arts skills?"

"Without sufficient brains, no matter how strong a person's martial arts skills are, they are just a gun or a sword, and they cannot escape the fate of being controlled by others."

"Strong strength is not enough, and sophisticated methods are not enough either. You need both strength and power to emerge like a dragon emerging from clear water, or a sea of ​​clouds revealing its grandeur."

Lu Zhiqiu recalled what he had read in Zhaoshishu, about the future in which Lin Pingzhi was slandered by people with ulterior motives and attacked by the martial arts world, and he unconsciously said a few more words.

It stands to reason that strength is power.

But the reality is that the strong are often too superstitious about their own strength and are often subverted by people who are not as strong as them through various non-positive means.

Lin Pingzhi was just too stupid and didn't know how to manage things, which allowed the other party to throw dirty water at her.

But no matter what, with her intervention, the tragedy of the Lin family should not happen again.

Lin Pingzhi pursed her lips, as if thinking about something.

This young man has been a chivalrous man since he was young and seldom considers these things. In his opinion, as long as he has high martial arts skills, all problems can be solved with a simple push of his palms.

This is true.

But if we talk about martial arts skills, how high will it reach?

A strong player has a strong player.

Even if you are the best in the world, can you really look down on all the heroes in the world?

What if the second to ninety-ninth places in the world come together to besiege the number one?

Lu Zhiqiu understood this very well, so she never wasted.

At all times, stability comes first.

……

Back to the mansion.

Lu Zhiqiu saw Xu Xianxian practicing sword from afar.

Seeing Lu Zhiqiu returning, Xu Xianxian wiped the sweat off his forehead, hung his sword around his waist, and walked over to him with a smile.

"Sister Lu, did anyone bully you in school today?"

Lu Zhiqiu rolled his eyes at her and said:

"There aren't so many people bullying me. You're just itching to do something and want to find someone to do it to you."

"Come to think of it, I was on the road when I heard someone say that there have been bandits roaming around the big rock two miles south of the city. Do you want to go and try to get rid of this evil?"

Xu Xianxian's eyes lit up and he immediately rubbed his hands to get started.

Her background meant that although she had listened to her master's stories about his great reputation in the martial arts world since she was a child, it was difficult for her to actually travel the martial arts world and be a hero as described in the storybooks.

Now that she has the opportunity, how can she let it go?

"You want to come with me?"

"Of course. Haven't you always boasted about your martial arts skills to me? I want to see it."

"Hehe, then don't scare yourself later. This lady's swordsmanship is very advanced."

Xu Xianxian looked at the sky.

It was the evening hour and the sky was gradually getting dark. It was the time for the caravan to hurry on their journey and find a place to rest.

If there really are bandits, most of them are accustomed to lying in ambush at this time.

She didn't dare to delay, picked up Lu Zhiqiu and used her lightness skills to run out of the city.

soon.

The two of them came to a place two miles south of the city. Xu Xianxian saw from afar a thin man wandering beside a big rock. There was a hint of anxiety on his face. He looked around from time to time, as if he was waiting for someone.

Xu Xianxian raised her eyebrows and was about to step forward, but Lu Zhiqiu grabbed her right hand.

"I heard that the bandits have secret codes. You should pair up with them, otherwise it would be bad if you hit the wrong person."

"There's a book in the Lincang Academy that records some underworld jargon. In the Lincang area, the most famous one is 'Odds change, evens don't change, and the sign depends on the quadrant.'"

As Lu Zhiqiu spoke, he took out a book from his arms, turned to page 47 seriously, and pointed it to Xu Xianxian.

Xu Xianxian looked strange: "Is this password famous? I haven't heard of it either."

However, she glanced at Lu Zhiqiu's book and saw that it was indeed written like that, so it would be okay to believe it.

She walked forward slowly.

Cangshan is like the sea, and the setting sun is like blood.

The sound of the wind rushed past my ears, bringing with it the low hum of the wilderness. The rough stones caught in the wind sounded like the heavy breathing of a warrior.

"You came."

"I am coming."

"I knew you were coming."

"I also know you will wait."

"What are you here for?"

"I'm here to beat someone up."

Beat someone up?

The little thief who had been waiting here for a long time frowned and thought about it.

Could it be that the senior has changed his mind and is not planning to run away with the money, but is sending his disciples to help him deal with the Lin family?

Sure enough, my senior appreciated me very much.

The little thief coughed twice, and his eyes became brighter and brighter as he looked at Xu Xianxian. He hesitated for a moment and then made a final confirmation:

"Odd changes to even."

Xu Xianxian was secretly amazed in her heart, thinking that Sister Lu was right, it really was this incomprehensible password.

Sure enough, this man was a bandit.

She smiled and replied:

“Symbols look at the quadrants.”

The little thief finally let go of his worries, clasped his fists and laughed:

"You are indeed my senior disciple. I have been waiting for your respect for a long time. I would like to trouble you for your guidance on the situation of Fuwei Escort Agency. Also, please give my regards to you, senior."

The little thief said with a clear expression and neither humble nor arrogant.

He had pondered this all night and felt that these were the words that were most appropriate.

This is also true for the opening conversation just now.

Xu Xianxian was stunned when he heard this. His hand, which was about to draw his sword, remained suspended in mid-air as he stared suspiciously at the thin man in front of him.

She seemed to have heard some great conspiracy.

But she was no mediocre person after all. She was good at responding to situations and quickly assumed her role. She coughed twice and said:

"Well, tell me about the escort agency first, and I'll fill you in on what you don't know, so I can save myself the trouble."

Qingyun Paves the Way to the King: Chapter 7 Escort Agency Meeting

The thief had no suspicion of his own.

After all, he is the direct disciple of a top-notch master. It is normal for him to be a little arrogant in front of him, an ordinary disciple of Fushan School.

Humph, just wait and see, maybe one day, the senior will accept me as his disciple.

The only difference between you and me is who came first and who came later.

Of course, at the moment, due respect is still required.

The little thief sorted out his thoughts, pondered for a moment, and then said:

"I just arrived in Lincang City yesterday. I only had time to buy some information from the local snakehead. Last night, when I first sneaked into the escort agency, I was almost discovered by the Lin family father and son. It was only you, the senior, who saved me."

"However, although the snakehead has the Lin family's guard arrangements, escort team routes, and strength reports, Chief Escort Lin Xianlin is not a naive young man like Lin Pingzhi. It's hard not to suspect that these are all deliberately exposed."
