Chapter 505 Xiaobao talks with Mr. Wei
Chapter 505
Old man Wei patted Xue Xiaobao on the shoulder and signaled that this was not the place to talk. After the two entered the account, the old man Wei picked up a cup of tea and drank it slowly. The corners of his eyes quietly observed the young man in front of him who wanted to turn to himself.
When the teacup was put down, Xue Xiaobao took the lead in saying, "I figured it out and thought about it for a long time. I want to be an official."
The corners of Mr. Wei's mouth moved slightly, and his eyebrows rose. He was laughing. I'm sure, but I don't know whether he is laughing at Xue Xiaobao's ignorance or gratifyingly. Xue Xiaobao is a handsome man.
In a word, the smile was very meaningful. Xue Xiaobao continued, "There is a magical exotic space hidden in Hukou Ridge. It's very dangerous inside, and there are immortals..." Xue Xiaobao said this, quietly looked up at the old man Wei's face, and found that it was no different. Then he said, "There is also a spiritual mountain, but mortals can't reach that mysterious place."
Old Wei nodded slightly and asked softly, "Have you seen the fairy?"
"See you." Xue Xiaobao said truthfully.
"Do you have any understanding?" Old man Wei continued to ask.
"I don't understand, but I feel something!" Xue Xiaobao said with a straight face.
"Oh, is that interesting?" Old man Wei laughed.
"According to him, the mysterious space belongs to the ancient battlefield, and the so-called Lingshan has only one mysterious place that can only be seen from a distance and cannot be reached. If you don't believe it, I can take you there."
Old Wei waved his hand slightly and then said, "I believe what you said today. Because you don't have to lie to me. It's not good for you to lie to me. You want to be an official, but to protect yourself, I understand. But there is one thing I hope you can understand. I won't let a useless person follow me. You have to show some skills to make me think you are useful. Killing and arson is very simple. Many people do. I don't need people like this.
Xue Xiaobao was silent for a moment, and then said seriously, "I'm useless, but I'm obedient."
"Oh!" A strange look flashed in the old man's eyes, and he said suspiciously, "Be obedient?"
"Yes! Listen to you." Xue Xiaobao's tone was firm, as if the old man Wei was his father.
"Uh-huh!" Old man Wei hummed and said, "Sure enough, I didn't live up to my praise for you. There are too many talented people in the world, but there are very few obedient people. If you can realize this truth, it is enough to prove that you are a talent.
Xue Xiaobao smiled and said to himself: Ancient TV dramas are not for nothing. High-ranking people love and cherish talents. But they prefer those obedient people. If you are disobedient, even if you are talented, you can only laugh at yourself and sigh. Throughout the history of our country, there are countless talents who think they have no talent. Li Bai, a poet, was not successful in seeking an official, and then traveled around the world and ended up depressed.
There is a set of right and wrong in the officialdom. If you don't follow the rules, this game is not suitable for you, and others will be kicked out. This is the way to be an official.
It's useless, as long as you are obedient. Slowly **, there is always a useful place.
Xue Xiaobao's remarks were praised by Mr. Wei. He added, "It's very dangerous inside. If I hadn't been good at channeling, I would have died in it. The mountain god is not a good thing. He has been trapped in it for hundreds of years. I always feel that he stays in it as if there is another plan..."
Xue Xiaobao said to himself that Mr. Wei listened carefully and analyzed the meaning of every sentence of Xue Xiaobao.
For a long time, old man Wei said, "After you understand this matter, you can go to Beijing with me."
Xue Xiaobao was overjoyed when he heard the words and thanked him repeatedly. It seems that the door of the officialdom has been opened to me. As long as I step in with two legs, I will see who dares to bully our Xue family.
Old Wei smiled happily and said, "Take a rest for one night, and you will lead the team tomorrow."
"Okay." Xue Xiaobao readily agreed. But on second thought, he frowned and asked timidly, "Tell me, is my fourth uncle dead or alive?"
"Your fourth uncle, hey!" Old Wei shook his head slightly and sighed, "He is not right. Don't make the same mistake again."
"I really don't know what happened between him and you. I'm annoyed and tired." Xue Xiaobao said to himself and left the tent with a gloomy look.
When John saw Xue Xiaobao coming out, he hurried over and smiled and said, "Master Xue, where are you from?"
Xue Xiaobao raised the corners of his mouth, put his hands behind his back, and said arrogantly, "I've always been here."
John was stunned when he heard the words, and then smiled and said, "Where is Master Xue going?"
"Go away." Xue Xiaobao smiled proudly.
When John saw Xue Xiaobao joking himself, he was not angry and said, "Master Xue hasn't had coffee for a long time. Why don't you sit there for a while?"
Xue Xiaobao shook his head slightly and said, "We don't plan to be different. I hope Mr. John will forgive me."
There is nothing to win over the temptation. Xue Xiaobao is not a fool. He just showed his loyalty to Old Wei. Of course, he should keep a distance from John. Otherwise, it is easy to be hated.
When John saw that he didn't know how to flatter, he had to threaten, "Don't forget that your fourth uncle is in my hand. I advise you to keep your eyes open and don't make a mistake."
Xue Xiaobao slapped his face and said, "Don't forget, I can kill you now. Don't talk about my fourth uncle all the time. I have a backer now. You are bullshit in my eyes.
When John heard this, his face turned green. He pointed to Xue Xiaobao and said angrily, "Then let's wait and see."
"I advise you once again that you should ask for more blessings." After Xue Xiaobao finished speaking, he turned around and left. John is the man he must kill. Now, with the appreciation of Mr. Wei, Xue Xiaobao's waist has also hardened. It's time to pick up the account book to collect debts.
Xue Xiaobao's decision this time is not bad for him. It is the most practical way and the most perfect expedient measure to use one force to suppress the other party.
Old man Wei stood outside the tent and watched John walk away with a smile on the corners of his mouth. He said to himself, "It seems that the boy is still useful." \
At night, next to the bonfire. Xue Xiaobao told the legend of the jade pot to the old man Wei, as well as the mysterious spring of long life and the flower of life.
"Xiaobao, do you believe that there are immortals in the world?" Old man Wei took a branch and fiddled with the charcoal and asked faintly.
"The immortal?" Xue Xiaobao shook his head slightly and whispered, "You have never seen that mountain god, which is similar to a beggar. It's really pitiful and useless except for living a little longer.
"Oh, are there such shabby immortals in the world? This is the first time to be obedient. The book records that immortals can call for wind and rain and can do everything. I heard from you today that it seems that the record in the book is not credible. Old man Wei said with a smile.
"It's not true. That mountain god is really terrible. As for other immortals, I have never seen them, so I dare not make a conclusion. I used to wonder if I was on the top of monism and whether I would have a chance to meet the immortals and get some points. When I saw the mountain god, I suddenly felt that the immortals were also very sad. Xue Xiaobao said to himself.
"Why do you feel this way?" Old man Wei asked indifferently.
"I have never thought of ascending to the Tao before. But I have always believed that there are immortals in the world. I have never had a chance to see it. When I saw it, I found that it was no different from ordinary people, but living a little longer. I don't want to watch the people around me leave me, leaving me alone. This is what I'm most worried about and afraid of. People say that they only envy mandarin ducks but not immortals. At this time, they want to come here to have a different taste. What do you think?"
Old Wei stared at the young man in front of him, quietly looked into his eyes, and tried to find some involuted evidence from his eyes. But this is Xue Xiaobao's true words.
"Countless people dream of immortality, but those are all ungrateful people. It seems that you are a temperamental person." Old man Wei praised.
"Ha ha, you don't have to compliment me so much. This is just some of my feelings in recent years. After experiencing too many things, my thoughts have changed. I used to hate those sanctimonious hypocrites, but now when I think about it, I find that those so-called hypocrites also have their own secrets. Xue Xiaobao laughed at himself.
"You can see this step, and you must have thought about it carefully. It's very simple and difficult to be an official. But the mentality must be correct. You are about to go down tomorrow. I just need you to take out the elixir. When I come back, I will thank you very much. The old man Wei said righteously.
Xue Xiaobao said that he didn't dare and said, "Since I am willing to do things for you, I have nothing to ask for. Did you just say Danhu? What kind of thing is it? Where is it hidden? Xue Xiaobao has always wanted to ask but dared not ask. During the day, Xue Xiaobao was very puzzled. Old man Wei asked himself to go down and didn't say what to do.
"There are five legendary jade pots. There is only one with an elixir. It has been made very clear that you are only allowed to succeed and not fail this time. Old man Wei said.
Xue Xiaobao shook his head slightly and said, "I can't do it. No one can get that jade pot."
"Why?" Old man Wei asked.
"Lingshan is too far away, and there are too many dangers in the endless forest. There are also mountain gods sitting in the town. Do the immortals have no greed? It's an elixir. What should I do if he thinks about it? And it's not that if you arrive at Lingshan, the mountain god will be difficult to deal with. Xue Xiaoshen said in a heavy tone.
"I know it's difficult. Will I ask you to do something that is not difficult?" Old man Wei said it for granted, as if this matter was originally Xue Xiaobao's business. He paused for a moment, and then said, "If... If something happens to you, I will treat your family well. I promise that they will be fine, and your fourth uncle, and I will find a way to protect him. Think about it yourself. Reply to me tomorrow morning. There is only one chance, and smart people know what to do.
After saying that, Mr. Wei got up and left. Xue Xiaobao, who was left in a daze, looked at the blazing flame in front of him and gradually fell into meditation.
