Chapter 237 Succession
Bai Shu knew from the time he met Jiang Xue from the Chenghu Temple that Jiang Xue not only admired him, but also admired him more.
But Xiao Yurou's past is there, and Bai Shu can't give Jiang Xue any response. One day Jiang Xue will forget Bai Shu. After all, many times, Bai Shu is a ruthless person.
"Let's watch the competition." Bai Shu said with a smile.
Jiang Xue nodded silently. She had never thought about Bai Shu's response. She could be as close as Bai Shu as she is now. It would be great if she smelled the smell of Bai Shu's body and listened to his voice.
On the other side, Yan Dan fainted on the stage and was very nervous. She knew that Ye Taoling would shoot a sword when he came up. After one sword, the winner would be decided.
But when facing herself, Ye Taoling had no intention of drawing a sword. She stood there and looked at Yan Dan coldly, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.
Because Ye Taoling knew that Yan Dan was dizzy and didn't know how to get to know someone, just this point, the sense of superiority was clear.
Only Ye Taoling was watching, Yan Dan felt very stressed when he fainted.
Is she going to vent her anger for Bai Shu? After all, she seems to have a good relationship with Bai Shu.
Or is she disdaining to shoot at me?
Yan Dan’s dizziness has been going up the mountain for ten years. In these ten years, Yan Dan’s dizziness has basically never left the house except walking in Tianquan Palace.
She has been pure and has no desires for so many years, not because of her slight temperament, but because of her tenacity and she is full of longing for the Tao.
She was ignorant and fearless, so she dared to talk back to Luo Shilan and dared to ridicule Bai Shu in public. Her mood reached a bottleneck this year, and her cultivation was difficult to improve any more, so she followed Lin Yuezhu's advice and walked out of the Tianquan Palace and into the sight of everyone.
Although Yan Dan is not as dazzling as Bai Ye and the other two, he is also a dazzling star among the four schools of thought this year.
So Yan Dan fainted and didn't wait any longer, so she took action first.
Yan Dan's weapon was different from others. She hid her veil with wide sleeves, and her attack method was ribbons, so when she raised her hand, everyone saw pink, like a fairy dancing.
This scene seems tender and watery, but those who have experienced Yan Dan's fainting know that every inch of silk has extremely terrifying destructive power. Even the leader of Qianzong, Li Anyi, was defeated by Yan Dan's fainting pink silk.
But Master Ye Tao was in power, and Yan Dan was so dazed that he did not dare to look down on him at all. As soon as she took action, she used her strongest attack method. In a moment, pink silk was everywhere, crisscrossing and tangled together, rolling towards Ye Taoling.
In the last few competitions, the Seven Star Lord of Taixu Temple, except Xu Ye, Tang Wuyan and Jiang Shengxuan, all four of them were here before they arrived.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Banshan said to Lin Yuezhu: "Junior Sister Lin is really full of talents. I have never heard of Yan Dan's name before, but after today, she should be famous all over the world."
Lin Yuezhu said with a little pride: "You can't be successful every year in Kaiyang, and there are monsters like Bai Shu in it, so we Tianquan cannot produce talents."
When Xiao Banshan's face suddenly became dark when he heard Lin Yuezhu call Bai Shu and said, Lin Yuezhu also realized that something was wrong in his words and quickly explained: "Senior brother, don't blame Junior sister for this stupid mouth. She was originally a compliment, but the words were useless."
Liu Nian smiled and said, "This title is appropriate. Bai Shu's strength is really amazing. Do you think that if he reaches Poxu, will Lan Yatou still suppress him?"
Chang Yue retorted Liu Nian and said, "Young brother is so bad. Lan Yatou is already doting Shu'er in every way, so how could he suppress him?"
Liu Nian nodded and said, "What the senior brother said is reasonable, but I think Lan girl treats Bai Shu like a sibling and cannot become a marriage. However, Ye Taoling, the girl, is similar to Bai Shu, and she seems to be in love. If it becomes a good thing, it will be a good story!"
Xiao Banshan heard that Bai Shu was joking and his face became better. But when talking about Bai Shu's marriage, Xiao Banshan suddenly became frowning and sighed: "Bai Shu has been engaged for a long time. He is a little girl from Yan State. I have seen her several times. She is talented and beautiful, and has a perfect match with Shu'er. It's just that my Yurou is suffering and I use the wrong place to be infatuated."
When everyone heard Xiao Banshan's words, they immediately became interested and debated the rumors in their view one by one, trying to figure out what was going on between Bai Shu and Xiao Yurou.
As he spoke, Yan Dan's faint pink silk had pressed on Ye Taoling's body, and soon the red figure was overwhelmed by pink until it disappeared.
Then, everyone heard a long sword sound, and Yan Dan's faint pink silk shattered from the center, and a sword energy that slashed out roared out. The pink silk along the way encountered this sword energy and broke when it was touched, and it went all the way to Yan Dan's death.
Yan Dan's face turned pale and he retreated repeatedly. The pink silk between his sleeves blocked the sword energy, but it was like a mantis armed mantis was driving a car, without any effect.
In the end, if the sword energy had not dissipated by itself, Yan Dan would have been slashed by the sword.
Bai Shu suddenly stood up from the ground, and Yan Dan was already fainting and broke in half in his eyes.
Just because Bai Shu was extremely familiar with the sword that Ye Taoling made, this was the wordless sword that Bai Shu comprehended and learned under the Houyuan of Taixu.
Isn’t this a sword created by Bai Fangyun? Why does Ye Taoling also use it? Why does Ye Taoling’s wordless sword retract and disperse in the face of the enemy?
Bai Shu stood up and touched the wound on his abdomen. Through the white gauze, the blood gushed out again.
Jiang Xue hurriedly supported Bai Shu, helped him hold the wound, and said with concern: "Senior Brother Bai, what's wrong?"
Seeing Bai Shu's expression was terrifying, Jiang Xue was so scared that her teeth were trembling and her hands were trembling.
Bai Shu shook his head, feeling extremely regretful. Ye Taoling's sword just now was slashed out from the pink silk. Bai Shu didn't see Ye Taoling's appearance when he used this sword. Bai Shu could not imagine it clearly by imagination. He had a premonition that if Ye Taoling saw the sword clearly, he would have truly learned this sword.
"What a pity." Bai Shu murmured to himself, suddenly thinking that he used a wordless sword when facing Yu Qiuhan in the Sword Sect. Yu Qiuhan asked Bai Shu in horror why he used this move. Bai Shu didn't care at that time. Now when he thinks about it, Bai Shu realized that this sword might not have been created by Bai Fangyun, but came from the Sword Sect.
Could it be that Ling Wen'er taught Bai Fangyun? But at that time, Bai Fangyun had not really come out of the mountain, and he had never seen Ling Wen'er.
With countless questions, Bai Shu stared at Ye Taoling in a daze, and Ye Taoling also looked back at Bai Shu, as if asking Bai Shu, are you satisfied if you don’t let Yan Dan faint easily?
But Ye Taoling saw confusion in Bai Shu's eyes.
Luo Shilan gave up Xu Jie and ran back to Bai Shu's side, and treated Bai Shu's wound again. A breeze blew, and the cold air penetrated into Bai Shu's lungs. Bai Shu couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hands and coughed. When Bai Shu took his hands away from her mouth, there was already blood in her palm.
Bai Shu glanced at the palm of his hand, quickly clenched his fists, and turned his hand over, but even this was like a flash in the pan, Luo Shilan saw it.
Luo Shilan pulled Bai Shu's arm and said without any doubt: "Go back with me!"
Bai Shu shook his head slightly and said, "The four factions are not over yet. I will stay here to cheer you up!"
Luo Shilan looked at Bai Shu with resentment and sighed.
Yan Dan fainted on the stage but suddenly lost the interest to continue fighting. She knew that Ye Taoling was asking her, but she couldn't understand why Master Ye Tao gave in to her.
Yan Dan sighed and said, "I lost!"
There are people outside of people, and there are heaven outside of heaven. Yan Dan didn't think about who she was worse than. She was twenty years old this year, but she knew that Ye Taoling was only seventeen years old, as big as the hateful Bai Shu.
Yan Danhu also knew that Bai Shu had only been in the first year, but Yan Danhu was not sure whether he could defeat Bai Shu who used the sword steadily, because among everyone present, there were not many people who had seen Bai Shu using swords, but Bai Shu used talismans and Taoism so well. Will the sword he is best at using is not bad?
Some people always wonder if Bai Shu and Ye Taoling are so close, because he is good at using swords, and the two of them get together to talk about the topics related to swords.
Ye Taoling originally wanted to show Yan Dan's chance to show her, but now Yan Dan's despair took the initiative to admit defeat, so Ye Taoling naturally had no reason to stay on the stage. She didn't even look at Yan Dan's despair and jumped off the stage.
Lin Yuezhu sighed for Yan Danhu: "Ye Taoling's sword technique seems to have reached the level of the Sword Saint, so it is no wonder that Danhu can't compete with her."
Xiao Banshan said in a deep voice: "Don't say it's the Dan that is dizzy, even if it's you and me, are you confident that you can beat Ye Yatou?"
Lin Yuezhu silently refused to answer when she heard this. She even asked herself in her heart that Bai Fangyun had never won over Ye Taoling.
Liu Nian advised: "There are talented people in the world, and they have been leading the way for hundreds of years. We are all old people. How can we compare with those young people?" Chang Yue smiled bitterly and said, "Junior Brother Liu is higher than us, and he naturally doesn't care about the level of cultivation among others. How can we know that we are suffering from being immersed in the peak of the Break Void for several years? Seeing how many years of cultivation that Ye Taozhu has been able to practice hard for our whole life, we naturally have to sigh a few words!"
Liu Nian laughed and patted Chang Yue on the shoulder and said, "I respectfully call Ye Yatou the Taozhu. Do you also call this identity like this? Why not wait for Ye Taoling to take the words of Bai Shu, marry into our Taixu, and bring you tea and water to you. Instead of fighting to the death and seeking a breakthrough, it is better to accept a good disciple."
Xiao Banshan also smiled and said, "That's right. Shu'er's Fu Dao was still led by Senior Brother Chang. To be honest, Senior Brother is also Shu'er's teacher. On the other hand, I, a master, are a bit irresponsible. I am not as good as Shilan Teachings, Shu'er teaches more."
Liu Nian glanced at Bai Shu in the distance and said to Xiao Banshan: "Your disciple has the potential to be self-taught. His qualifications are just like Ye Yatou. They are all born. No one can compare to him to think about it himself. It's just that the matter of spring next year, can the master of the audience tell me about Senior Brother Xiao?"
Xiao Banshan said suspiciously: "I didn't hear any wind, what's wrong?"
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Liu Nian explained softly: "The master of Guanyin said that after the spring comes, he will let Bai Shu follow him to practice, and then he will take a few days a month to let us teach Bai Shu to practice separately. We each have our own strengths. At that time, we will inevitably concentrate on Bai Shu alone!"
Lin Yuezhu said incredibly: "Even if we are willing to teach, Bai Shu is talented enough, but can he accept it if he lets him learn so much at once?
Liu Nian explained: "The master of the Guanyin means to focus on teaching the heart, wash away the white and comfortable temperament. As for the real materials, it is definitely not something that can be learned overnight. Can't you still see it?"
Liu Nian kept a secret and glanced at the high place intentionally or unintentionally and said, "The pear on the tree is clearly prepared for Bai Shu. The viewer trained Bai Shu as his successor."
Only then did everyone realize that everyone had a strange expression and was surprised.
Liu Nian continued, "Didn't you notice that since the Liu Yingying incident and the viewer Liu Baishu spoke alone, Bai Shu has the confidence to speak inside and outside the viewer, and has been able to let go of his hands and feet. Before that, he would have been much more low-key and deserted."
After Liu Nian said this, everyone figured out the joints. Lin Yuezhu asked tentatively: "You mean, the host has already given Bai Shu the bottom in private?"
Liu Nian nodded solemnly, and then said slowly: "Bai Shu is the next Bai Guyun, and this time the audience has learned from the past. He will definitely let Bai Shu grow to the Apocalypse realm safely."
"Senior Brother Xiao, congratulations!" After Liu Nian said that, he bowed to Xiao Banshan, and said that Xiao Banshan was a little at a loss. When he mentioned Bai Fangyun's name, Xiao Banshan felt a little distracted.
Lin Yuezhu thought for a moment and said in confusion: "But the pears have been hung. Why didn't Bai Shu pick them? With his current reputation in the view, no one should object to it."
Liu Nian narrowed her eyes and said slowly: "This is the interesting thing. It is logical that whoever takes over Taixu Temple is just a matter of the master's words, but when it comes to Bai Shu, he has to come up with so many tricks."
Liu Nian paused and said, "I always feel that this pear is hanging here to seduce Bai Shu, or to calm Bai Shu's heart. Bai Shu must have been considering some aspects and did not want to obey the arrangements of the observer or had his own concerns, so he did not pick this pear."
Liu Nian said this, because before Bai Shu competed with Xue Dongyi, he had stood under the tree and looked up at the pear on the tree for a long time. This scene happened to be seen by Liu Nian.
Bai Shu's eyes were full of greed and desire, as well as restraint and struggle.
Liu Nian knew that Bai Shu and the audience were not as simple as he imagined. There must be a deeper entanglement between the two, which may be related to Bai Fangyun, and it may not be really related. It’s just that the time has not come, and Liu Nian still can’t see clearly.
But no matter what, with Bai Shu's arrival, this year's Taixu Temple became lively again as if a dead tree was in spring, just like the person was still on the mountain.
As soon as people get older and get used to being cold, they become greedy and lively. The same is true for Liu Nian. He knows that there are many secrets hidden in Bai Shu. As a bystander, or Bai Shu's elder, he looks forward to the day when Bai Shu's secrets will be published.
