I have a passive skill.

Xu Xiaoshou immediately had countless question marks on his face.

That's it?

What the hell is this tsundere young master's temper?

So you are such a water ghost?I really opened my eyes wow!

"That's right, what a noble status senior is..." Xu Xiaoshou asked curiously, "So, what is your status?"

"I'm..." The water ghost tossed his sleeves and robes, and was furious, but when the words came to his mouth, he seemed to wake up with a start, and stared back with a cold face.

"Good guy, you dare to take my word for it?" He stared at Xu Xiaoshou, his face returning to his usual sinister expression.

"Senior, you can say what you want to say, and you can pull it off if you don't want to. I'm not a curious cat." Xu Xiaoshou shrugged indifferently, but felt that it was a pity in his heart.

The water ghost was obviously used to being dignified before, and he wasn't an idler.

As he said, mountains of gold and silver could no longer touch this great Buddha, and even the eight Buddhas paid the price of an "answer" to invite him.

The half saint of the Jiang family, presumably, reached a deal with him in a tone that was usually too empty, and was hated in the end, right?

Tsk tsk, the dispute between the big bosses, I thought it was all a dispute over the Dao.

I never thought that there is such a cheating source of disputes.

The matters here can be big or small, but if there is a real fight, it may not be Sheng Yun, the destruction of Hades, or the death of the fifth holy slave.

Of course, if we really want the world to know the reason behind this horrible result, the reason is only because the tone of a certain half-sage's speech is not very good...

"meaning!"

Xu Xiaoshou suddenly shuddered.

This world is so wonderful!

Chapter 978 Stay safe, or...ambition!

"With all due respect, this thing is a bit too big..."

Xu Xiaoshou thought about it for a while, but still felt that it was irrational to intervene in Tu Sheng's affairs.

He sincerely persuaded: "The best choice for seniors may not be to directly intervene and target one of them, but to let the two of them fight on their own and watch the fire from the other side."

"You're the only one who is clever, right?" The water ghost shook his head and smiled for a while, and said, "But the semi-saint is already going to drag me into the water, what do you think I can do to watch the fire from the other side without getting burned?"

"That's true..." Xu Xiaoshou rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought.

When was he drawn into the vortex, was he not involuntary?

This feeling has already been deeply experienced.

"Xu Xiaoshou...

"Actually, your temper is quite to my liking."

The water ghost suddenly jumped away from the topic, looked up and down at the young man in front of him, twirled his fingers and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the time for Wuxiu to teach you should not be long, and then he left soon?"

Gone...Xu Xiaoshou was speechless for a while, but nodded: "That's right, what do you mean, senior?"

The water ghost shook the Sea God's Halberd in his hand, his eyes flashed memories, and said:

"Although Wuxiu and I were in the Holy Slave, we didn't have much contact with each other. He left very early, and I was basically not in the organization.

"The relationship between us is only a few games of chess in the early days."

"Based on his personality, if you are still by your side, you should be more at ease. Of course, you will also be more courageous, and you won't look forward and backward like you are now..."

The water ghost said, glanced at Xu Xiaoshou, and said meaningfully: "He will teach you how to gain greater benefits for yourself in the midst of death and life, because this is his strong point."

What do you mean?

Xu Xiaoshou didn't understand this sentence.

The water ghost smiled and said: "If it were him, he wouldn't persuade me how to curl up in the semi-sacred game.

"Because he knows that the so-called 'self-protection', in the eyes of the semi-sage, is just a 'waiting' to delay the crash.

"Instead, he would say this..."

The water ghost paused for a moment, and then said: "The half-sage is looking for you, but the target is not you, so you can play a role in it, fan the flames, and wait for the opportunity to make a profit.

"'Watching the fire from the other side' is never the best way for our generation of alchemists to fight for their own interests, but 'the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman wins' is.

"So, not only can you not retreat, you have to face up to the difficulties, use the hands of the two parties to kill each other, and in the end, the only one who survives is the winner of all the benefits."

Xu Xiaoshou was stunned.

This……

Isn't this the way of thinking of the "old six"?

I understand the truth, but how can you guarantee that you are the last one to survive?

"Senior taught you well, but I have a small question..." Xu Xiaoshou could see that the water ghost wanted to teach him some ways of survival from the side, but he didn't quite agree.

"I understand your question." The water ghost interrupted with a smile, and said:

"What you think is nothing more than 'how to ensure that you will be the last survivor'?

"Or 'If one of the two sides survives, after learning about your actions, all conflicts will be transferred to you, how to protect yourself afterwards'...

"Or, 'I can choose to back off, why must I intervene'?"

Xu Xiaoshou nodded, affirming that this was indeed what he had in mind just now, and was even more thoughtful.

The water ghost explained patiently, as if he was teaching a junior whom he admired very much:

"You forgot the 'controversy of the great way', you forgot 'one will be successful, ten thousand bones will perish', and you even more forgot 'even if you don't move now, someday in the future, they will move you'...

"Because there is a direct conflict between you and them.

After a pause, he said with emotion:

"On the road of refining the spirit, if you don't advance, you will retreat.

"Perhaps in the early stage of cultivation, if you encounter danger and choose to retreat to protect yourself, it is a wise choice.

"But you are on the throne, or you are only a master at this time, but you have directly participated in the 'Battle of the Great Dao', which belongs to the level of the throne.

"Then 'retreat in case of trouble', or 'only seek self-protection in case of trouble, not maximizing interests', are always the next policy."

The water ghost's voice suddenly became muffled, like a great bell ringing in Xu Xiaoshou's heart:

"You're radical now, but only for your peers.

"Your opponent will never be of the same generation! Wuxiu chose you, and Bazun chose you, so it is doomed that you must be very advanced to be considered barely qualified.

"And since you have participated in various chess games of the Holy Emperor and the Half-Saint, then your ambition at the moment is not enough, far from enough!"

The water ghost stretched out his finger and tapped it in the deep sea.

The deep sea is turned into a chessboard, and there are more chess pieces on the top, constantly advancing, shattering, and rebirth.

Pointing at the chessboard, Shui Gui met Xu Xiaoshou's eyes, looked at his thoughtful face, and continued:

"In such a big game of chess, which chess piece is useful, which chess piece is disposable, which chess piece doesn't seem to be very important now, but it must be kept, because it will play the function of a god's hand in the future...

"This is all within the consideration of the chess player.

"Don't worry that they are not smart enough to beat you to death, because you are just a pawn and are not qualified to think about things outside the chessboard.

"And any chess master who is not qualified enough will be eliminated long ago; if you are useful, you will be seen by other smarter chess masters, and will be saved in the end to be used by them."

The water ghost cleared his throat, did not give him time to catch his breath, and continued:

"The reason why a chess piece is excellent and can be reused? Is it because it is strong enough, and is it valuable enough?

"Yes! But not enough.

"It has to grow, so as not to be abandoned halfway;

"It has to have its own ideas and show enough ambition to be moved from a soldier to a general;

"It has to be able to radiate light in a certain corner at a certain point in time, so that the confused chess players who have nowhere to go can clearly see... This is the opportunity of 'God's Hand'!"

"At this time, your chance has come.

"Can you escape from this game of chess, be collected by the chess master, use it for the next game of chess, and even go round and round again, grow up with the help of chickens and lay eggs, and finally escape from the control of the chess master, and become a chess player...

"It all depends on whether you want it or not, it all depends on whether you will take advantage of the situation.

"In other words, is the ambition big enough, and is the ability strong enough...to be able to forcibly control the behavior of the chess player in the chess game!"

There was a pop.

As soon as the water ghost finished speaking, he tapped his fingers and shattered the underwater chessboard, leaving Xu Xiaoshou alone, lost in thought.

"You're right..."

"But you don't agree, right?" Shui Gui snatched Xu Xiaoshou's words, and said again, "Or, this is a bit different from what your master taught you before, isn't it?"

Xu Xiaoshou raised his eyes and stared at the water ghost's face seriously for a long time.

It wasn't until he saw that this guy was really playing the role of a senior as a guide, and not a child's play, that he became serious and replied: "He said that as a chess piece, one must have the awareness of being a chess piece, and do it well." It's enough to do what you do."

The water ghost unexpectedly did not refute, but took advantage of the situation: "So you can read this sentence well, and if you have lived to this day, it is justified."

"Is it okay?" Xu Xiaoshou felt that this sentence could be slightly modified, but it can already be used as a life-saving talisman, which is very useful.

As for more matters beyond this sentence, well, just leave it to the chess masters to solve.

"Sleeveless is right, and his words are also right, but people meet by fate, words are spoken at the right time, you have to see if this sentence is right now, isn't it?" Shui Gui Smile.

"How to say?" Xu Xiaoshou took a handful of water and listened attentively.

"If I had no sleeves, I would tell you the same thing when you are acquired, innate, grandmaster...here refers to ordinary grandmasters and cannot participate in the 'Battle of the Dao'.

"Because you were too weak at that time, and it was not easy when you were so weak that you could bear the mortal title of member of the Holy Slave and still survive.

"But now, the timing is different."

The water ghost shook his head, chuckled and said:

"You have become a grandmaster, and you can still control the battle for the throne and the battle for the avenue, so you have ambitions that you shouldn't have before.

"If you are still stuck in the past and don't seek change in stability, then there will be a catastrophe in the future, which will either cause you to die in despair, or make you reborn in despair...

"But at that time, after rebirth, you will lose even more!"

As soon as the water ghost stopped speaking, his voice became much deeper.

"To give some examples, your master is like this, the eight masters are like this, and I am like this...

"Among the hostile forces, Gou Wuyue is still like this, and he is even worse. Whether he will live or die after that is still unknown."

Xu Xiaoshou is so clever, he suddenly realized a lot.

ambition...

It is indeed the driving force for a person to grow.

The words of the water ghost are nothing more than a variant of "be prepared for danger in times of peace".

It is of course irrational to listen to these words in a peaceful age.

But in this age of spirit refinement where people eat people and beasts devour beasts, either you die or I live, it fits perfectly.

Most of Xu Xiaoshou didn't understand the example Shui Gui gave.

After all, he still doesn't know what happened to the water ghost himself, and the eight gods know the truth behind the "fall".

Ke Sang Lao was arrested and Gou Wuyue was imprisoned, which fit the theme too well.

What's more, Xu Xiaoshou thought of more.

Didn't the change of Leixi'er be caused by the shock of reality after leaving the spiritual palace where there was only innocence and romance?

Isn't the difficulty of keeping watch at night the same as growing up to a certain stage and still not realizing it, and finally being completely changed by a catastrophe that belonged to him?

To keep one's place, or...Ambition?

The front and back of the road require a corresponding mentality, which is indeed different!
