Proud Sword Emperor

Chapter 918 A Sudden Answer

Bai Tairan stared blankly at the water and fish floating in front of him, how could it be possible for the fish not to rely on the water, wouldn't the fish die if they left the water?Not to mention to control the water.

"Boy remember it!"

In a blink of an eye, Bai Tairan nodded fiercely. Although he felt that this meant making things difficult, but at the same time he knew better in his heart that it would definitely not be easy to become an apprentice of a celestial being, and it was expected that he would have such a test.

"Ah."

Xu Chen nodded for Bai Tairan to leave.

Looking at Bai Tairan's back after taking the water and fish in a basin, Xu Chen pondered, his request did mean to make things difficult for Bai Tairan, but more because he wanted to get some inspiration through Bai Tairan.

In this test, the fish is like Xu Chen, and the water is the world. Before he lived in this world, his life and death were controlled by the world. Isn't this the fish that lives in the water? Dead fish?

Fish cannot live without water, and people cannot live without this world.

But now Xu Chen has completed the first step, left the world and no longer depends on the world, but he is full of confusion about controlling the world in turn, that is, the road of detachment.

He has stayed in the back street for a long time, and he has seen a lot of ordinary and ordinary days, but he has never felt much, so he gave Bai Tairan this difficult problem, hoping to get some inspiration from Bai Tairan.

The days are calm again.

In fact, everything that happened here is very ordinary to Xu Chen, whether it is the old man here, or Ji Yue, the mother and daughter, or Bai Tairan, including some things behind them, can't understand. Let Xu Chen have any touch.

He looked at everything that happened here calmly, as if he was reading a book, hoping to get some inspiration from this book.

Although he didn't get any inspiration for the time being, Xu Chen's state of mind calmed down under the influence of the current mediocrity.

He had a faint feeling that this peace might be useful to him, and he didn't want to be broken.

In this way, he stayed more firmly, quietly in this ordinary.

Time goes on and on.

Year after year, the child holding the paintbrush has grown taller, and at the golden age of fifteen or sixteen, the use of a paintbrush has become more and more miraculous.

Bai Tairan took care of the fish that Xu Chen gave him every day and night, and at the same time, his cultivation base also broke through to the realm of King Wu in a natural way.

During this period, there were also some uninvited guests who disturbed them. For example, the Dong Mansion forces who were expelled before appeared several times later, but they were completely defeated and left under Bai Tairan's resistance and Qiuqiu's paintbrush.

At the same time, what happened in Backstreet and the mysteries of Backstreet also attracted the attention of countless people, and many rumors flowed out, which completely changed the reputation of Backstreet outside. It is no longer a deserted place, but everyone Where the awe-inspiring immortals are.

Because of the spread of these rumors, many people even went to the back streets to worship, and many suffering people came to pray for gods and blessings.

And the young Qiuqiu has the heart of a child, and he uses a paintbrush to save the suffering. Whenever he is asked for help, he will help, whether it is small to cure a disease or save a life. A paintbrush is often within reach.

After a long time, the reputation became deeper, and more and more people came, even the emperor of the king of a country sent people to come, and the emperor himself came to see it in person after he came into contact with the real miracle.

This undoubtedly exacerbated the reputation and status of the back street in the mortal world. Gradually, the back street, which was originally regarded as deserted, became a holy place, and the ball holding the paintbrush was also called a fairy boy by the world, and everyone respected it. .

"I've been here for a total of ten years."

Inside the inn, Xu Chen calmly looked at the streets with people coming and going outside. Because of the rising reputation of the back street, this place has changed from the original desolation to a bustling place, full of traffic and people.

The business of his inn has also become hot, and the rooms are full all day long.

Before the backstreet became lively, Xu Chen deliberately hid himself, did not show any magic, and just blended in the crowd as an ordinary person.

Even in order to prevent outsiders from discovering the abnormality, with the passage of time, he let himself be stained with the traces of time like ordinary people, white silk appeared in his hair, and his face became vicissitudes, and he no longer looked like he was in his early twenties Young, but a weather-beaten 40-year-old middle-aged.

As for Qiuqiu, Bai Tairan and others who knew he was extraordinary, he also used tricks on him, so he couldn't talk about any strange things about him, and no one was allowed to break his peace.

In ten years, a lot has changed.

During this period, Xu Chen was completely integrated into the back street, and even the aloof and mysterious atmosphere at the beginning was gradually worn away by him.

He no longer looks at everything in this back street from the perspective of a bystander, but truly integrates into it. Like other shops, he works at sunrise and rests at sunset, coming in and out, and managing the business of the inn.

"boom!"

In the tavern on the first floor of the inn, a customer suddenly slapped the table fiercely and glared at Xu Chen angrily: "The shopkeeper? What kind of wine are you drinking? It tastes terrible. Is it mixed with water?"

Sometimes there will be unwelcome guests looking for trouble.

The ordinary Xu Chen is no longer as cold and aloof as before, but like a real mortal shopkeeper, showing an apologetic smile to the guests and calling out Bai Tairan to deal with the problem.

"Get out of here."

After some inspection, it was found out that the guest wanted the overlord's meal and made trouble on purpose, Bai Tairan, the junior, played his role as the king of martial arts, carried these guests and threw them out, waving a white towel and smiling honestly at Xu Chen Then continue to work.

That's how life is, plain and boring.

"I didn't feel anything for 3000 years before, but now it feels a bit boring for ten years. Ordinary people's daily life is in a hurry. If time can be paused..."

Behind the counter, Xu Chen sighed slightly about the ordinary experience of the past ten years. He just said it casually, but it seemed as if he had a constitution in his mouth and followed the law. The world in front of him, or all existence, suddenly froze. !
"This is……"

Xu Chen's heart, which had been calm for more than ten years, suddenly experienced strong ups and downs at this moment!
Everything is still!
This is not the stillness of space that he controlled before, it is not a simple immobilization technique, but the real stop of the whole world, the stillness of thinking!Even time has stopped, even the way of heaven has stopped at this moment!

But he, Xu Chen, still has a mind, and he can even move in this static time!
This is an extremely terrifying thing, everything is still, only Xu Chen can move, then he can change everything!
If you can master this ability, isn't it just controlling the way of heaven? !Control the world?Isn't this detachment?
"Shh!"

In an instant, everything in the world returned to its original state, and everyone continued with all their previous actions, as if nothing had happened.

But Xu Chen stood still in place as if time stood still.

"So this is the direction?!"

His mood fluctuated, and he was pleasantly surprised. No matter how much he guessed, he couldn't figure it out. returned answer.

Everything happened so suddenly, even absurdly, even Xu Chen didn't know how to do it.
