My cultivation is too warm

Chapter 14 Rumors, all rumors!

Xu Mo was already upset because he, as a cultivator, was frightened by an ordinary snake and destroyed Elder Ouyang's spiritual field because of it.

Now I hear this inexplicably ridiculed old man again.

The dark history was seen on the spot.

He suddenly became a little excited and ignored his usual caution.

He said directly to the old Taoist priest in a bad mood: "Master, are you here to quarrel?"

When the old Taoist heard Xu Mo's words, he immediately stuck his head out and said bluntly:
"Let's quarrel, I'm not afraid of you."

Then he curled his lips and stared at Xu Mo with a mocking look, "What? You, a cultivator, were scared by an ordinary mortal snake. Such a funny thing, and you can't let me laugh at it?"

As he said this, he gestured to Xu Mo.
"It's just a tiny venomous snake, not a monster. It probably can't even bite your skin."

"Tsk tsk tsk, look at you, your face is pale, hahaha."

Looking at the old Taoist's despicable appearance, Xu Mo was furious and speechless.

He had only heard that when cultivators became ruthless, no one could defeat them, but he had never imagined that when they became mean, they could be so hateful.

Then he shook his head violently again.

A person who practices Taoism cannot be so mean. He is a psychopath.

Xu Mo raised his head and argued stubbornly:
"So what if you're scared by a snake? Is that weird?
In ancient times, human ancestors made a living by hunting. There were no houses at that time, so they could only sleep in trees or caves at night.

Therefore, they are often attacked by poisonous snakes.

People today are afraid when they see poisonous snakes.

This is because it is an instinctive reaction formed by human ancestors in the long-term battle with poisonous snakes in ancient times.

Let us be vigilant and protect ourselves.

In other words, I am afraid of snakes, but not because I am really afraid.

It is because of the care and love from my ancient ancestors."

Having said that, Xu Mo flicked his sleeves, adjusted his posture, looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, his eyes deep and his tone proud:

“My fear of snakes shows that my bloodline is pure.

Am I proud?"

The sloppy old Taoist suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Xu Mo in amazement.

Then he propped his chin up with his hand, thinking seriously, nodding and muttering to himself.
"Oh, oh, I see, it turns out you can say it this way.

This reason is indeed perfect and cannot be refuted.

Hehehehe, that’s great, that’s awesome.

I will say this from now on.

I wonder how they can refute it.”

Xu Mo's earlobe twitched slightly, then the corner of his mouth tilted, he turned around, stared at the old Taoist with a meaningful look, and said lightly:
"Master, the wind was a bit strong just now, I couldn't hear clearly.

You seemed to have said something interesting just now, could you please repeat it?"

The old Taoist shuddered when he heard this, and when he came to his senses, his face was filled with shock.

He tugged at the green Taoist robe that looked casually draped over his body and a little messy.

Then he restrained his expression and said to Xu Mo seriously:
"My friend, you are joking. I was just reciting scriptures. There is nothing interesting about it."

That serious look was completely different from his previous bashful look.

"Oh~ really?" Xu Mo said with a long "oh" and a strange tone.

After saying this, he stopped talking and just stared at the old Taoist.

The old Taoist didn't care at first and stood there straight with a stern face.

I don't understand what you are saying, it seems like it has nothing to do with me anyway.

But after a while, he couldn't hold it in any longer and immediately returned to his previous state, glaring at her unhappily.

"What's with that look in your eyes, kid? Are you doubting that I'm afraid of snakes?
I tell you, this is impossible.

"I, an old Taoist, have practiced for tens of thousands of years, traversing the ancient world and living a carefree and happy life. How could I be afraid of a mere insect?"

Xu Mo quickly shook his head and said seriously:

"No, no, how could I possibly doubt you, Taoist Priest?

A man as heroic and extraordinary as you, Taoist priest, is obviously a true Taoist practitioner. How could he be frightened by a mere insect?

Anyone who says this about you is definitely spreading rumors. "The old Taoist smiled when he heard this, his expression relaxed, and he nodded with satisfaction.

“Yeah, that’s right, it’s just a rumor.

Rumors are all rumors.

After all, people like Lao Dao will always be envied.

There are always people who like to stir up trouble and slander Taoist priests.

It's absolutely disgusting. "

Xu Mo's mouth twitched. This is the first time we meet, and you've already confessed everything.

But even though he was complaining in his heart, he nodded with a look of deep agreement on his face.

“Yes, yes, that’s it.

As the saying goes, meeting is fate.

Since you, Taoist priest, are not afraid of snakes, could you please help me deal with the body of that little worm?

Taoist priest, you know, I am afraid of snakes.

Seeing that long figure makes me uncomfortable, it has nothing to do with life or death."

The old Taoist's face froze. He turned his head slightly to glance at the snake corpse that was chopped into countless pieces by Xu Mo, then quickly looked away.

He put one hand behind his back, looked up at the sky calmly, and remained silent.

"Master?" Xu Mo called again.

The old Taoist turned his head reluctantly, "What?"

After he finished speaking, he glanced at the spiritual field destroyed by Xu Mo, his eyes turned, and he suddenly said:

"Oh, boy, I understand, what about dealing with the snake corpse.

It turns out that you saw that I, an old Taoist priest, was very capable and wanted me to help you repair the damaged spiritual field so that you would not be scolded by the elders of your sect.

This is your real purpose."

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Xu Mo to reply, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed towards the spiritual field in mid-air.

There was no surprising movement.

Time in the spiritual field ahead seemed to be going backwards, and all the destroyed things returned to their original positions bit by bit, sometimes fast and sometimes slow.

When Xu Mo came to his senses, it seemed like a long time had passed, but it also seemed like only a moment.

The spiritual field that he destroyed has returned to its original state.

The poisonous snake that was broken into countless pieces was buried deep underground when the spiritual field returned to its place, and disappeared without a trace.

When Xu Mo saw this scene, he was immediately shocked.

In fact, when the Taoist priest said that he had practiced for tens of thousands of years, Xu Mo had already realized that something was wrong, but he was angry at the time and didn't want to think about it.

It wasn't until now that I saw the old Taoist take action with my own eyes and felt it intuitively.

Only then did he calm down and realize that his previous behavior had been teetering on the edge of death.

I secretly broke out in a cold sweat for myself.

Is this what they call an old monster falling from the sky?

It's so fucking exciting.

However, he was determined to become a socialite of Tianxuan Sect and pave the way for himself to become the Supreme Patriarch.

Of course I know this weird old monster who is like a lunatic.

The best way is to act as if nothing happened and maintain your previous attitude.

So he gave the old Taoist a thumbs up and praised him, "Master, you have a very good eye. I didn't expect that this kid's thoughts were hidden so deeply, but you still saw through them.

I have to thank you for your generosity, otherwise I don’t know how I would explain this to you.”

Upon hearing this, the old Taoist stroked his beardless chin and said with a smug look on his face, "Of course."

After saying that, he looked Xu Mo up and down and suddenly sighed.

"I really like you, kid. If it were normal, I would really like to take you as my apprentice.

What a pity. "

Xu Mo's heart warmed up, he held his breath, and couldn't help asking: "What a pity?"
