Chapter 545 Peerless Genius
Beside a path in the dense forest, in a small tea shop, two people who had only met once, met in such a plain way. They looked at each other and were silent for a while.
Wang Jue sat down and placed three copper coins on the wooden table, which had not yet been put away, as if he had paid the bill. However, the copper coins were square and black, with tiger, dragon, and leopard patterns printed on them. They were not ordinary copper coins.
There is an unwritten rule in the world of Fuyao: the south is round and the north is round. Copper coins circulate in the south, whether in the secular world or in the mountains, are all round. On the contrary, the north is square. This rule has been passed down to this day. In the place where the four southern regions and the four northern regions meet, most of the two types of copper coins coexist, which has been regarded as normal.
Li Chang smiled and picked up the copper coin. He looked up at the sky through the central copper hole, making a clicking sound. He felt very satisfied, so he collected the other two copper coins and put them in his pocket.
Laughing and joking with the proud son of heaven, these three copper coins correspond to dragon, tiger and leopard respectively. They are the best rewards of a grand event in the long-ago period of Fuyao Tianxia, representing honor and the past. Don't look at a small copper coin, which can be held in the hand with two fingers. In the glorious past, even a hundred mountains were not as heavy as these three coins. The dragon is the best among its peers, the tiger is the bravest among its peers, and the leopard is the cruelest among its peers. Those who hold these three coins can visit famous teachers and learn the true teachings. They can even purchase a hundred unique techniques. How heavy is that? Even now, Li Changxiao, who knows the meaning of these three coins, still feels heavy when he holds them in his hand or puts them in his pocket.
As a holder of three coins, Wang Jue is naturally more extraordinary. With the six divine essences transforming into spirits, if his spiritual energy is not exhausted, his achievements in this life will be immeasurable. It is possible that he will be able to merge again. However, all these things belong to the past. You can recall them, but you cannot get stuck in them, let alone let yourself get stuck in them.
The first person who was once radiant, as if he were an oven, not afraid of the cold and snow, and defying the world, now smiled bitterly, "I only have these three copper coins."
He put the backpack on the ground, bent down, and tied up his loose leggings, ready for a long journey. After doing all this, he asked Li Changxiao for a cup of tea. Wang Jue was always overbearing and didn't follow the rules, but he took the initiative to say that he would owe the copper money for the cup of tea and pay it back later.
Li Changxiao poured tea, not caring about the calculation of one or two cents at all. He just told the genius who was far different from him that this cup of tea was his treat and it was not charged.
After hearing this, Wang Jue laughed out loud and said that this was exactly what he had been waiting for. He picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp. He wiped the tea stains from the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, then pointed at Li Changxiao's pocket and said that for the three dragon, tiger and leopard copper coins, he had killed countless geniuses and fallen into traps countless times.
When he was granted the three copper coins, Wang Jue stood on the top of the highest mountain. All the famous immortals cast their eyes on him. His peers who were considered geniuses were extremely envious. At that time, he only felt that if he looked up, he could embrace the bright moon, and if he looked down, he could see all living beings.
Scrap is worth a ton of money.
But now, these three copper coins can only buy a big and sweet melon from the roadside tea shop. Wang was not lonely or sad, just speaking normally and based on facts.
Li Changxiao sneered, half jokingly, half teasingly said: "Then why don't you check who planted the melons?"
Hearing this, Wang Jue was stunned, then he slapped the table and laughed. Li Changxiao took a kitchen knife and cut the melon in half, revealing the red flesh, the juice flowing, and the attractive fragrance. I'm afraid that all the thirsty people in the world would like to take a bite of this melon. Even Wang Jue was not surprised.
He picked up the melon, buried his head in the rind, and ate it heartily without caring about his image. Halfway through, his hunger and thirst disappeared, and almost half of the sweet flesh was still left.
In a trance, Wang Jue actually felt that the shop owner sold the melon to him for only three cents, so he made a profit while the shop owner lost money.
After eating the melon, Wang Jue slapped the wooden table and shouted "Fantastic". He regained some of his heroic spirit and said to himself, "I am happy, and I am happy. Even if the three cents are expensive or priceless, it is worth it. I have no loss, no loss."
At this time, the moon was full, and the moonlight shone on his face. Li Changxiao sat lazily, supporting his chin, drinking wine, and watching the man eat the melon. He thought it was a pity. He had just figured out a new way to eat it, which was to roast the melon in the fire, sprinkle some spices on it, and then eat it with the skin and meat together.
Unfortunately it was bought.
When asked about his purpose, Wang Jue looked towards the south. Like many other cultivators, he did not want to be a bedridden monk.
He told Li Changxiao that, as far as he knew, at the southernmost end, since the collapse of the Zhenhai Tower, the water had no object to restrain it and it gradually became more and more rampant. Countless cultivators gathered together and used their own spiritual energy to draw formations to resist the spread of the flood.
Wang Jue wanted to go and take a look. However, he couldn't help feeling lonely when he said this. The spiritual energy in his body had already been reduced to one tenth. Although he looked young, he actually only had three or two years left to live. With his current speed, if he died halfway, he would die with regret.
If not for this, he might not have handed over the three copper coins so hastily. Even if he was a genius in the past, there would come a day when he would face an embarrassing situation.
Li Changxiao remained silent and listened to Wang Jue's stories about the past. He was always the most suitable listener. Although he occasionally became a character in the story, he preferred to listen to other people's stories.
Wang Jue did not just talk, he would occasionally ask Li Changxiao questions, such as what was Li Changxiao's alias? What was his real name? Why had he never heard of him before. And judging from Li Changxiao's appearance, he could still maintain his appearance and had a long life span, at least he was a powerful spirit transformation realm.
I should be able to remember his name, but I don't know where Li Changxiao came from.
Li Changxiao perfunctorily answered, and Wang Jue did not ask any more questions. Wang Jue sat there until late at night. The sound of cicadas and snakes rustled. Wang Jue's life span was short. Although this place was in the southern four regions, it was still very far away from the shore of the South China Sea for ordinary people. Wang Jue hurried on his way, stood up, said goodbye, and continued on his way.
Walk more than ten steps.
Li Changxiao suddenly called him.
He looked back and saw that the person who had been listening all along showed some emotional fluctuations.
Amid the noisy chirping of cicadas.
He spoke, but only four words: "How is the Chancellor?"
Wang Jue smiled leisurely, put down the bag on his back, unbuttoned his coarse cloth shirt, and his old face showed his former splendor again.
With a domineering look in his eyes, he took off his shirt, revealing the hideous scars on his chest. They were gunshot wounds, four in total. The most dangerous one was only half an inch away from his heart.
Wang Jue laughed and said, "Peerless genius!"
Li Changxiao smiled knowingly, a peerless genius...Yes, how could he not be a genius.
(I will try to resume the two-update schedule tomorrow. Also...please give me a small giftΣ＞―(〃°w°〃)?→)
