I Am Loaded with Passive Skills - Chapter 1970

Chapter 1846 Ward

In the Ancient and Modern Forget-Sorrow Tower, looking at Xu Xiaoshou who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, Kong Yuhen took the initiative to break the silence, which was rare.

Seeing Ba Zun’an and Mei Si looking over, he pointed outside the door and said, “Outside, something must have happened.”

Mei Siren immediately thought of Hua Changdeng.

I heard from Xu Xiaoshou earlier that Hua Changdeng would be arriving soon, but I didn’t expect it to be so soon.

Now Xu Xiaoshou is still in the process of gaining enlightenment, and the Eight Lords have to protect him and guard against Kong Yuhen, who may have hidden tricks or not.

Who should be in charge of Hua Changdeng?
“He is not a person who kills innocent people…”

Leaning against the door, Ba Zun’an murmured softly, but after finishing his words, he fell silent.

This is his impression of Hua Changdeng thirty years ago.

But now, times have changed, and it is hard to say whether the old friends are still the same.

Not to mention that according to his inference, there are far more people who have come to the lower world this time than just Hua Changdeng, there are also ancestral gods, and these people must be seeking something.

Therefore, it is impossible that if he is not here, Hua Changdeng will be so good-tempered as to wait for him obediently for ten days or half a month – he must be forced to come out!

In other words, the accident that Kong Yuhen mentioned does not only refer to Hua Changdeng’s coming, but perhaps someone has already died?

“Eight Lords…”

Mei Siren stood up in front of the tea table, looked over with a deep voice, and was a little undecided for a moment.

On the other hand, he knew that it was no longer the Holy Temple that was protecting the world, and Daoqiongcang had sunk even deeper under the water, relying entirely on the men of the Holy Slave and Xu Xiaoshou to hold it up.

But Xu Xiaoshou is not here, and the Eight Zun An are not here. In terms of peak combat power, no one can stop the Holy Emperor Hua Changdeng.

On the other hand, is Xu Xiaoshou’s people more important, or is Xu Xiaoshou more important?
If Ba Zun’an is allowed to leave the building and go back to fight Hua Changdeng, who should be relied on to guard this side, should it be relied on by himself?

Glancing at Kong Yuhen from the corner of his eye, Mei Siren really didn’t have the confidence that he could stop Kong Yuhen if he wanted to do something.

“I’m not leaving here.”

The Eight Lords spoke with decisiveness and without hesitation.

In his world, even if the sky falls, Xu Xiaoshou is not as important as him.

Kong Yuhen seemed to have expected such an answer, and sighed:

“Actually, you two don’t need to be wary of me. What I want is only the Secondary Door and the Door of Reincarnation.”

“When you leave the Ancient and Modern Forget-Your-Sorrow Tower, do whatever you need to do. When the time is up and Xu Xiaoshou’s enlightenment is complete, I will return it to you intact.”

“As long as you and him remember the agreement and abide by it, that’s all.”

The door on the second side is dispensable to the Eight Lords.

In the past six months, he has fully mastered the Void Island and no longer needs to rely on this door to enter and exit.

Through the guidance of the God Bailiu and the transit channel of Xingjie, if all else fails, I can force my way in and out. There are three options, and none of them is better.

But Xu Xiaoshou was not finished yet. How could he hand over the Second Door as his bargaining chip?
Isn’t this a backstab?
Ba Zun’an shook his head slowly, only believing in his own judgment, and did not dare to believe Kong Yuhen’s one-sided words.

“I’ll go out for a while.”

After considering it, Mei Siren realized that this was the best solution.

If he stayed here, he couldn’t help at all, and after going out, he certainly wouldn’t be able to defeat Hua Changdeng.

But after all, they had met once, and he could be considered Hua Changdeng’s half-mentor of the ancient sword art.

Regardless of whether the other party admits it or not, maybe you can do it by trying to save their face and buy some time.

“Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Mito.”

Ba Zun’an nodded slightly, without even a word of persuasion, and it was obvious that he also thought this was the best way.

Seeing this, Mei Siren could only shake his head helplessly. He thought that the couple was being too close and didn’t even put on any effort to show their affection.

Fortunately, he was not the kind of person who cared about these things. He immediately bowed to the two of them, raised his sword, pushed the door open, and walked out of the gate of the Ancient and Modern Forget-Your-Sorrows Tower.

There were only two people left in the wooden attic.

Ba Zun’an stared at Xu Xiaoshou, his face unmoved, but he was obviously anxious about the external situation, and asked, “How long will it take him?”

“It’s hard to say…”

Kong Yuhen knew that the answer was actually a long time.

After all, comprehending the way of time is just the beginning. Later he will have to help Xu Xiaoshou meet the War Ancestor and the Heavenly Ancestor, and help him to participate in the incarnation.

After visiting the incarnation, he still had to get the door, which involved some bargaining.

But this is the most important part of the agreement – I can’t help Xu Xiaoshou so much and not get any reward in the end, right?
All in all, it takes too long to delay.

And this doesn’t even include the question of whether Xu Xiaoshou needs help to solve the doubts he has after he has realized the truth and entered the long river of time to meet that person, and whether he needs to spend time to consolidate the realizations and cultivations he has made…

In a word, there is a high probability that Xu Xiaoshou will not be able to participate in this battle.

And this was also Kong Yuhen’s original intention in dragging this kid down – not to make things worse, but to avoid risks.

Ba Zun An seemed to understand what Kong Yuhen meant, and said bluntly: “Now that Hua Changdeng has arrived, I don’t need Xu Xiaoshou to fight, but I have an unwelcome request, and I would like to discuss it with Brother Yuhen.”

Kong Yuhen quickly straightened his face and gestured, “Mr. Ba Zun’an, please speak.”

There have been no outsiders in the Wangyou Tower since ancient times.

Even if Xu Xiaoshou was half awake, it wouldn’t matter if he heard it.

The Eighth Lord did not shy away from his own people. He raised his head and stared directly at Kong Yuhen: “Brother Yuhen, which side are you on?”

Kong Yuhen was stunned.

Is this the ancient swordsman?
Is he going to break the window paper directly?

He knew that the person in front of him was not easy to fool, so he remained silent and did not give an immediate answer.

Ba Zun An returned and looked at Xu Xiaoshou, saying to himself:

“In fact, from your layout and planning all along, it can be seen that you are also inclined to Xu Xiaoshou.”

“Not to mention anything else, the Shi Zu Shadow Staff has saved him from dire straits many times.”

“Xu Xiaoshou is not a person who doesn’t remember favors. I think he also has a good impression of you, even after meeting the Demon Ancestor.”

Demon Ancestor…

The remaining hatred made me slightly alert.

Yes, Xu Xiaoshou has met the Demon Ancestor, and even he cannot spy on their private conversation.

The meaning of Ba Zun’an is very clear.

Sometimes it seems that you are the one making the choice, but in fact, others may also be considering whether to change their partner.

“I will always believe in Xu Xiaoshou.”

Ba Zun’an, however, was very firm in what he said and he would not change his mind easily.

He looked at the boy sitting cross-legged on the ground with a smile in his eyes. “I have watched him grow up all the way. I know his temperament best. ‘If you don’t let me down, I won’t let you down’. This should be the best portrayal of his character.”

As he spoke, he set off, walked slowly to the tea table, sat down, and poured himself a cup of tea.

He just held the wine glass and did not mention drinking it all. After giving Kong Yuhen enough time to think, he continued,
“I know that they also gave a lot.”

“I will not interfere with your final choice.”

“But as Suoyin said before, this matter is unfair. I would like to ask you for your judgment… Has this young man grown up too quickly? In just a few years, he has to face the Ancestral God head-on?”

I was left with only regret and lost my mind.

Suiyin had been hunted before, and came to the pavilion to seek justice, followed closely by Daoqiongcang and Xu Xiaoshou.

In the end, justice was not sought and both sides fought again. The one who died was Rao Wangze.

Now Ba Zun’an also came to ask him for justice. His words were indeed shocking. It has only been one or two years since Xu Xiaoshou made his debut.

If his parents were here, they would feel sorry for this poor kid, right?
Ba Zun An looked like Xu Xiaoshou’s old father, with a somewhat melancholy look on his face. Without waiting for Kong Yuhen’s response, he raised his glass and said,
“Brother Yuhen, the ancestor god’s plan is indeed important.”

“After Hua Changdeng, regardless of the outcome, I will not be able to take care of the situation. From now on, I can only rely on Xu Xiaoshou to take the lead.”

“And surrounded by the ancestral gods, under multiple pressures, he is like a lone boat, without oars to support himself. Even if I leave Shen Yi and Cao Yi Han to him, they will probably be defeated one by one. After all, the ancestral gods cannot be underestimated.”

“Other things are fine. My only request is that if he is exhausted, or Dao Qiongcang intervenes and plots against him, and he is too busy to do anything else… If that is the case, I would like to ask you to lend a helping hand and help Xu Xiaoshou if you can.”

“I, the Eighth Lord, will remember this kindness and this love, and Xu Xiaoshou will also remember it.”

Having said that, no matter how the remaining hatred is dealt with.

The eight masters used tea instead of wine. They held the teacup above their heads, exchanged glances, and then drank the tea in one gulp.

“Thank you!”

Ah this…

Kong Yuhen felt embarrassed for the first time.

He could not accept the request of the Eight Masters here and at this time, otherwise he would not be able to keep himself safe afterwards.

But since Ba Zunnan was so kind, it was hard to refuse the honor.

“Pah.”

The Eight Lords did not make things too difficult for anyone.

He gently placed the Eight-Character Order on the table.

This was what he took from Xu Xiaoshou when he used his sword to summon the Void Island when the Ghost Buddha was born.

“I gave this item to Xu Xiaoshou in Baiku, and told him that if he encountered any major problems in the future, he could show this order, which might help him solve some of the problems.”

“It is the same now. If Xu Xiaoshou is unable to cope with the situation in the future, I would like to ask Brother Yuhen to pass on this order on my behalf and ask him to call me by my real name. I may still be able to lend him a helping hand.”

“As for you…”

Ba Zun’an paused and said with a smile: “If I can help, I will. If I can’t, forget it.”

He slapped the eight-character order, said these words, then took out the second door, slapped it towards the tea table, and pushed it forward.

Seeing this, Kong Yuhen closed his eyes deeply.

After a long time, he also walked over, sat down on the tea table, raised the cup of tea that had already gone cold, and drank it all in one gulp.

“must.”

…

“This is…”

The world behind the second door contains unexpected people.

It was not strange, on the contrary, it was a little too familiar. It was a ward!
It was a white ward, with white walls, white beds, white sheets and blankets. Everything looked new. It was a comfortable and warm room.

But between the “white” and the “new”, there is not a trace of holiness. After Xu Xiaoshou opened his eyes, he still felt only the loneliness and suffocation of his previous life.

“What the hell, are you going back to your past life?”

“Or is this my soul space?”

In the Holy Spirit Continent, Xu Xiaoshou had also been to a similar ward.

At that time, he gained enlightenment under Rao Yaoyao’s Hongchen Sword and broke through to the Grandmaster Tianxiang Realm.

In fact, this is the basis of the two worlds and reincarnation.

If he had not realized his true heart that time and accepted his miserable life in the past, if he had taken this life as the real one and the previous one as the false one and continued to practice Taoism, he might have gone astray in the end.

“But it doesn’t seem to be a soul space…”

That time, in the soul space, Xu Xiaoshou also saw Yanmang, You Sijian, and Zang Ku who could speak and was very human, but he didn’t see them this time.

There is a big difference!

Obviously, this is not the “home” in my memory, which is inseparable from the long river of time.

It’s time to take “time” back to the previous life.

And according to what Shi Zu or Kong Yuhen said in front of the pavilion, the heavenly world behind the first door was called “the past”.

At this moment, what should the ward behind the second door be called?
The future?

“It doesn’t look like the future…” Xu Xiaoshou clicked his tongue.

This is clearly my past, how can it be the future?

Time must have gone crazy that it would change names like this, making people confuse their past lives with this one.

Xu Xiaoshou got up from the hospital bed, still covered with quilt, although he could not feel any warmth.

He was not obsessed with the “name” of this ward, and noticed that he was still holding a golden bead in his hand, which had come with him.

“The source of time and space…”

Apart from this object, although the three swords were not seen in the ward, the red interface of the passive system was visible, which was suspended in front of the head.

Not inside the brain, but outside, suspended in mid-air!
And the third and final object, an illusory wooden door on the bedside table.

“Wooden door!”

Xu Xiaoshou was deeply impressed by this thing.

It looks like one of the six ancient doors. Except that it looks translucent and untouchable, it is exactly the same as the four doors displayed by Kong Yuhen on the tea table of the Wangyou Tower in ancient and modern times.

“I have a ‘door’ too?”

This is surprising. Kong Yuhen has collected four of the six ancient gates, minus the secondary gate in the hands of the Eight Zun An.

If the one on the bedside table is really one of the six doors, it can only be…

“The Gate of Reincarnation?”

When the name of this sect was whispered, Xu Xiaoshou’s pupils dilated violently and the hairs on his body stood on end.

He suddenly woke up and realized how he had traveled through time and space, and how he still had his memories with him.

“Could it be that this ‘Gate of Reincarnation’ is used?!”

It was only later that I realized it, and I was left with regret for looking for myself and the eight masters, not just for the sake of the second door.

It was clear from this guy’s previous words and deeds that he was eyeing the Gate of Reincarnation which he was unaware of.

Also, when they first met, Kong Yuhen said something shocking… “A visitor from another world”!
It works!

All connected!

“Two lives, reincarnation, it’s easy to cultivate, as if I was born to cultivate this way. The door of reincarnation also helped me, at least it protected my memory before reincarnation?”

“Ghost Ancestor gave me the Scythe of Death, which also contains insights into reincarnation. He also saw that I am a reincarnator and can easily make achievements in this field. He wanted to invest in advance?”

This is so terrifying when you think about it.

Not only that, the path that I have taken seems to have been “arranged” in the dark.

Whether it was swordsmanship proficiency, violent giants, or the Dao disk of magic and the Dao disk of life…

All kinds of power, derived from the passive system, are related to the power of the Ten Ancestors. It is clear that there is a meaning of “gathering the strengths of each school and practicing them all in myself”.

Who arranged it?

Who arranged me?

The door to reincarnation is in my hands, so who is behind this?

Lying on the hospital bed, Xu Xiaoshou wanted to get up suddenly, but found his legs and feet numb and weak. He could only move his upper body, while his lower body was still paralyzed, just like in his previous life.

He was silent, supporting himself on the mattress with his hands, lost in thought.

“Ming Zu…”

When entering the last door, the figure with only regret said that this world was called “the past” and mentioned the title of “Famous Ancestor”.

The famous ancestor has already existed, at least in the “past”?

The famous ancestor is himself. He also cultivates the path of two-in-one and one-back-to-zero. After losing hope, he uses the door of reincarnation to avoid the path of the ghost ancestor and put himself back into reincarnation?

First, he experienced his past life and his present life. Later, he relied on the passive system and combined the strengths of each family, trying to be compatible with the fate of the ten ancestral gods and achieve a path back to zero?

Xu Xiaoshou’s pupils trembled.

This speculation is bold.

According to this idea, I am setting a backup plan for myself – my passivity is caused by myself?

This is a bit too passive!
“Also, the passive system…”

This thing looks mysterious. It relies on other people’s emotional fluctuations to accumulate passive values, and then you can add points at will to add up the power of the Ten Ancestors that ordinary people cannot reach.

Is it really without any source, is it really created out of nothing?

“name!”

If we look at the passive system from the perspective of “name”.

Isn’t it also a direct manifestation of the nourishment of “name” that others feel happy, sad, or angry when they see me?
Name is essentially abstract.

However, the passive values and various passive skills have materialized these abstract powers, helping me grow to this point.

“I……”

Xu Xiaoshou was half paralyzed on the hospital bed. He slowly raised his hands, lowered his head and looked at it, and suddenly felt an inexplicable heaviness.

I have always been controlled by myself, walking on a predetermined and arranged path, until I have made a name for myself?
The so-called “a trapped beast escapes from a cage” is just a view of the world from a well. When the truth of the “cage theory” is revealed… am I still in the game?
Xu Xiaoshou took a breath.

Elder Sang, is this terrifying?
“It’s chaos, chaos…”

“Calm down, calm down…”

These are all my own speculations. Whether they are true or not is another matter.

Xu Xiaoshou looked back at the golden bead in his hand, and the words of Kong Yuhen in front of the pavilion flashed in his mind:

“The source of time and space, only the power left to trace everything back to its origin…”

In this ward located on the long river of time, there are only three objects left to be seen, namely the source of time and space, the gate of reincarnation, and the passive system.

If we consider it more abstractly, there is also the ward itself and ourselves.

“If we trace back to the origin of time and space, we will know the answer.”
