Chapter 287: Asking Who is the Human Guest with a Smile · 18

Pang Ban knew very well that one should attack the enemy's heart first, and he threw a very troublesome question to Xiao Hao right at the beginning.

He seemed to be discussing the Dao with him, but in fact he was testing his realm and trying to lead him astray in the ruthless Dao.

How did Shi Zhixuan behave in front of this man? Did he overdo it?

Xiao Hao smiled bitterly in his heart and mustered up a hundred times the energy to deal with Pang Ban's provocation and sharpness.

He walked calmly to Pang Ban's side, stood side by side with him, looked down at the misty clouds below, and sighed: "Donor, you are wrong to come to me. No matter if I speak today or not, you are doomed, what a pity."

Pang Ban was suddenly shocked, and looked at Xiao Hao with three parts of confusion and seven parts of surprise.

There seemed to be a mystery in his words.

Pang Ban's eyes became sharp, like a hawk observing its prey, and his eyes gathered endless mental power, using his body as a medium, and continuously pressing Xiao Hao through his eyes like a tidal wave. As long as Xiao Hao's mind was a little relaxed, he would be seriously injured at best, or even killed immediately.

Pang Ban said, "I beg you to teach me."

Xiao Hao shook his head with regret, "Donor, you are a wise man. You have understood what I am saying. Why do you need me to point it out?"

Pang Ban was about to speak, but he stopped abruptly. He was shocked and broke into a cold sweat.

He suddenly understood what Xiao Hao meant.

Xiao Hao sighed and said, "Donor, you are a genius. You can understand the principle that no moves are better than moves. You can abandon the halberd and use fists. You can move forward and break the void. But now you have a mental barrier. In the future... it depends on fate."

Pang Ban was stunned for a while and couldn't say a word.

Yes, he has entered the peak realm of the magic path, and he only needs one last step to transcend life and death, but this "last step" is illusory and there is no handed down method.

Shi Zhixuan's enlightenment made him realize that the "last step" might be the "love" that caused the supreme masters to return to the world and go crazy.

Pang Ban believed that "external things do not enter the eyes, and the eyes do not confuse the heart" can be called a realm, so he did not understand why "love", which seems to be something that should be abandoned, caused confusion among the great masters.

He came to discuss the Tao with Xiao Hao with a disdainful view of love.

As for the result of this discussion, he was still full of confidence before he set out; but at this moment, he realized that he was too impulsive.

Xiao Hao's casual words have made him lose everything.

The reason why Xiao Hao avoided answering was because once he answered, he would understand that the "last step" was not to cultivate ruthlessness, but to be affectionate. Pang Ban was not a truly cold person. On the contrary, he was emotionally rich, so he could understand this better.

If Xiao Hao defeated him verbally and revealed the answer, then Pang Ban, who was defeated, would not be able to keep his "ruthless heart" that was fearless due to ignorance at the beginning, nor would he be able to break through the "last step" with his deprived state of mind. What awaited him would be to stop at the peak from then on and make no further progress.

So Xiao Hao did not answer.

But even if Xiao Hao did not answer, Pang Ban, with his wisdom, could also understand the reason why he did not answer.

So whether to answer or not, it would lose its meaning.

When he asked that question, or in other words, when he set foot on the road here, he had already lost, completely defeated.

He had conceived countless mysterious strategies to defeat Chun Yangzi on the road, but he never expected that Chun Yangzi would "eliminate" him without bloodshed with just a few words.

If he can't break through the mental barrier, he will never have the chance to break the void after today!

"Pang has calculated a thousand times, but I didn't expect to lose in this way..." Pang Ban was shocked, and said angrily: "I beg the Taoist priest to give me some advice!"

Xiao Hao felt relieved, but he closed his eyes and shook his head: "I could have said it, but now I can't."

Pang Ban was shocked again, and then laughed up to the sky.

Previously, Xiao Hao avoided answering because he knew that Pang Ban had only the "last step" left and would soon be able to complete his merits. In order not to hinder him from attaining enlightenment and ascending, he avoided his sharp edge and did not answer.

But after realizing this, Pang Ban's state of mind was greatly damaged, and he might never have the chance to cross that "last step" again in his lifetime. Even if Xiao Hao explained the "love barrier" to him again, he would only become obsessed with it and go astray. So this guidance cannot be said.

Xiao Hao is right, he was wrong to come to Xiao Hao. It

would be a mistake for Xiao Hao to answer him, and it would also be a mistake if he did not answer him; it would be a mistake to give guidance, and it would also be a mistake if he did not give guidance.

Is this the end?

Pangban was unwilling to accept the defeat, but he knew very well that when he felt unwilling, he had lost even more thoroughly.

The most hateful and regretful thing is to lose without fighting.

He had a strange feeling in his heart. He knew that there was someone in this world waiting for him. That was the "last hurdle" he had not yet broken.

But now, he did not have the courage to win to face that last hurdle.

Pangban took a long time to calm down from the mountain wind at the top of the Three Stars and the Moon. His eyes were no longer full of the previous unparalleled sharpness, but had many more earthy things, which merged into a strange charm.

"Master, you have a keen eye. You must know what my feelings are."

Xiao Hao turned his head and glanced at him, smiling lightly, "You know it's dangerous, but you still want to try. That's the true nature of a magician. No wonder Zhixuan is so fond of you."

Pang Ban couldn't help but laugh, "If I had listened to Master Shi's advice and carefully comprehended the meaning of his words, I wouldn't be in this situation today."

Xiao Hao said, "Everything is predetermined. Whether it's a disaster or an opportunity, it's still unknown."

Pang Ban's heart sank. Hearing that Xiao Hao was pointing the way for him, he immediately gathered his mind.

Xiao Hao said calmly, "The progress of the magician challenging the White Dao of the Central Plains is almost complete."

Pang Ban immediately understood where the last level was.

He had challenged all the martial arts in the Central Plains without losing a single battle. Today, his defeat to Xiao Hao had greatly damaged the good situation of the Mongols regaining their territory. If he had followed the original plan, after successfully challenging Xiao Hao, his next target would have been the Yanjing Temple in the Cihang Jingzhai.

Now that he had learned this information from Xiao Hao, it was really a double whammy.

He suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness and felt that he was in the midst of a flood, but he could not escape the invisible hands that stirred up the storm.

Xiao Hao seemed to see what he was thinking. He stood with his hands behind his back, his wide sleeves fluttering in the breeze. His words were filled with endless sigh-inducing emotions: "People who practice cultivation must avoid the three poisons, but they don't know where love comes from. Once they enter this situation, they can't understand any worldly ups and downs, or any of the pains and joys of life."

Pang Ban was slightly surprised and said, "Could it be that people like the Taoist priest and Master Shi can't make it?"

Xiao Hao said, "A hundred years in this world is so fleeting. If I could find someone who can share my big dream..." He suddenly paused, then shook his head and smiled, "Don't be greedy, don't be greedy."

Pang Ban finally regained some fearlessness and confidence. The philosophers who walked in front of him were trapped in this situation. As a rising star, why should he force anything? It would be better to let go and indulge himself and see if he could survive.

No wonder Master Shi could endure watching the lonely and boring clouds and snow in a Taoist temple isolated from the world for more than 20 years for the sake of pure yang.

He performed the ceremony respectfully and bowed to Xiao Hao, saying: "I will never forget the favor of Taoist today. Pang is convinced of defeat and will leave now."

Xiao Hao nodded and did not refuse, accepting the bow.

This was a plan designed by him to lead Pang Ban to Cihang Jingzhai and force the good and evil sides to stop fighting.

Although he was mostly selfish, he was unwilling to destroy a great master, so after defeating Pang Ban, he still helped Pang Ban to help him break and then stand up.

[Ding! The knight has extraordinary means and clever strategies. He defeated the magician Pangban with just a few words and saved the Central Plains Wulin Mansion from collapse. His status increased by 2000. 】

【Current achievement: Hidden Yuan Secret · Heaven follows man's wishes, progress: 8747/10000. 】

After confirming that Pangban had completely left the range he could sense, Xiao Hao breathed a sigh of relief and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Pangban had just fought with him with his eyes and mental power. Neither of them had taken action, but they were actually in a mental situation and had exchanged countless moves.

He himself suffered internal injuries, and Pangban was not much better.

A magician is a magician after all.

Fortunately, Lie Zhenbei has fully inherited the Wanhua martial arts. With this reliable milk flower, it will not be difficult for him to recover.

Soon, the news that Pang Ban was defeated by Wanhua spread throughout the martial arts world, and the news that Pang Ban went to Cihang Jingzhai also spread.

In the eyes of outsiders, Pang Ban was frustrated in challenging Wudang, but he still did not give up the idea of ​​suppressing the Central Plains martial arts world, so he went to challenge Yan Jingan. Little did they know that his departure would usher in the peace and tranquility of the magic master's retirement that lasted for 20 years.

Lie Zhenbei put the medicine in front of Xiao Hao with a complicated expression, frowning and saying, "Yan Jing'an sent a message, inviting the Taoist priest to meet at Cihang Jingzhai."

Xiao Hao pretended to be immersed in the scriptures and didn't notice the bowl of black things, and said "hmm" calmly.

Lie Zhenbei, this unscrupulous young man, could obviously solve his problem with a breeze and dew, but he blamed him for taking risks and took these things out on him.

Doctors from Wanhua are really not easy to deal with.

Lie Zhenbei's forehead twitched and he cleared his throat and said, "Since it is the invitation from Cihang Jingzhai, Wanhua can also let the Taoist priest out of the valley. The Taoist priest resolved the confrontation between the righteous and evil without any soldiers. If Pang Ban retires this time, the Mongols will never have the hope of restoring their country, and this country will finally have peace. The Taoist priest seems to be doing nothing, but he can do everything. It is truly admirable."

Xiao Hao nodded again, still concentrating on the scriptures in his hand.

Lie Zhenbei finally couldn't stand Xiao Hao's deafness anymore. He knocked on the table with his fists and smiled kindly: "Master, you are my patient now."

"..." Xiao Hao glanced at the bowl of black stuff, and said stiffly with a cold face: "...What's more this time?"

"Snake gall can replenish the nerves, and it is the best for you to recover your lost energy."

"...Can I not drink it?"

"What do you think?"

"..."

He decided to take back what Lie Zhenbei said before that this milk flower was very reliable.

*

Cihang Jingzhai.

This is the second time Xiao Hao has seen Yan Jingan. Compared with the noble and detached goddess at the beginning, Yan Jingan now has a ball of unresolvable sorrow between her eyebrows, and she is frail and pitiful.

"Senior Brother Chunyang is extraordinary. He gave such a generous gift for nothing. Jing'an was really panicked and couldn't bear it."

Xiao Haoxian walked to her side, "Everything in the world is destined. Master Yan Zhai asked for benevolence and got benevolence. Didn't he know it well?"

Pang Ban met Yan Jing'an, and Yan Jing'an met Pang Ban. Who was moved and whose purpose was impure, only they themselves knew.

Love can make Pang Ban retire from the world, and it can also make Yan Jing'an unable to escape from the cage of his own entanglement for the rest of his life.

Yan Jing'an's beautiful eyes were sad, and he smiled bitterly and said, "Senior Brother has done everything he could to save the world. He has indeed done a great good thing for the world. Jing'an should repay him. I wonder how much Senior Brother knows about the Jingnian Zen Sect?"
