I Am Loaded with Passive Skills - Chapter 2023

Chapter 1898 Collusion

Is this a reminder?
Dao Qiongcang is certain that his ultimate state of mind originated from Nuo, and wants to tactfully tell him that he may have become Nuo’s backup?
Or does he want to use this question to reveal more of his knowledge about Nuo?

What Dao Qiongcang is worried about is naturally a possibility.

But Xu Xiaoshou also has his own judgment. Based on what he has seen and heard in the world behind the three doors, he has a general understanding of Nuo.

He is a good person.

Compared with his understanding, the Ten Patriarchs and Dao Qiong Cang can probably be described as having “a shallow understanding”.

After all, none of them had transcended the Dao of Time, and didn’t know that what they had seen also involved the original Ancestor of Time and Ancestor of Name.

All their contacts regarding Nuo should be “passive” contacts, while they themselves are considered half “active” triggers.

The unknown is the greatest fear.

It is easy to understand why Dao Qiongcang has such concerns.

What he thought and his level of understanding of Nuo are also not difficult to verify. One only needs to ask about the general process of his contact with Nuo, or even just know whether it is an “active” or “passive” relationship.

Xu Xiaoshou asked indirectly, “My consideration is not important. But you, after listening to what you have said, it doesn’t sound like hearsay. Have you seen Nuo?”

The tenth ancestor had just seen Nuo.

Some of the Ten Ancestors may have never seen Nuo until their reincarnation.

Xu Xiaoshou was confident that Dao Qiongcang was not an ordinary person. Seeing Nuo at this level was a fantasy for others, but it was not impossible for him?
“I don’t know if this can be considered as seeing it…” Dao Qiongcang seemed very hesitant on the other side of the Lingxi technique.

But it was clearly a manifestation of his determination to ask, to speak, and to be honest, and he took the initiative to speak more, and talked about privacy:
“Perhaps it is the peculiarity of the way of memory. In the year when I transcended the way of this way, I accidentally met a person I had never met before in the long river of memory.”

“You should know that whether it is memory or intention, I have a very clear judgment of myself and the self in others’ cognition, and conversely, all people and things except myself – no less than the Ten Ancestors.”

“Even if he is vague, I am sure that I have never seen this person, and I have never heard of his legend in this world. However, he can still break into my long river of memory on his own. From this point of view, he cannot be the Holy Emperor. He is the Ancestral God!”

Vague……

Xu Xiaoshou’s heart moved.

This shouldn’t be a trap set up intentionally by Dao Qiongcang.

After all, unlike the Ten Ancestors, when Dao Qiongcang met Nuo, he was still a “newbie” whose realm was not much different from his current level – only in terms of cultivation realm.

And as expected, he did not have the world behind the three doors, that is, the assistance of the Time Ancestor. It was very likely that the Tenth Ancestor could see Nuo clearly, but Dao Qiongcang could not even see his appearance and clothes.

“He is hazy in the white smoke. I am so far away from Him that I cannot figure Him out. So I just wait quietly.”

White smoke…

These words reminded Xu Xiaoshou of the world behind the second door.

There was great resistance at that time, and it was extremely difficult for him to advance and see clearly. Fortunately, it was probably with the help of Shi Zu that he saw clearly later.

“He calls himself ‘Xihe’. He is tall, speaks sincerely, and has a sense of pride, not inferior to the Eight Lords thirty years ago.”

“After he appeared, he didn’t care how I responded. He first gave me great affirmation of my memory, and then wanted to help me repair my ‘self’.”

This is very Nuo…

Xu Xiaoshou laughed when he heard this.

Dao Qiongcang should be scared to death with such a pie falling from the sky and such an out-of-control thing happening. He should have nightmares for a long time.

“You refused?” Xu Xiaoshou asked. This seemed like the choice Dao Qiongcang would make.

“No!”

Dao Qiongcang denied it firmly, “Although there are only a few words, I can feel that this person…”

He was silent for a while, “Xu Xiaoshou, do you believe in intuition?”

It is hard to imagine that these words would come out of the mouth of a guy who has mastered the secrets of heaven and earth, is unpredictable, and is always calculating.

Xu Xiaoshou felt it was both absurd and reasonable.

Because it happened, he also believed in his intuition. In most cases, after he had a general idea of the direction, he would act on his intuition first and then act according to the circumstances.

“No.”

“I don’t believe it either.”

Dao Qiongcang finished speaking in a second, and then changed the subject: “But I believe in variables, and believe that fortune and misfortune are interdependent, and I happen to know some divination skills…”

Cheating, right?
But is this thing really accurate?

“What did you figure out?”

“Not yet.”

“What is that?”

“You don’t understand.”

Xu Xiaoshou felt despised. This old Taoist priest was cursing him in a roundabout way. “How do you know I don’t understand if you don’t tell me?”

Dao Qiongcang: “Li fire is raging, Kan water is soft and feminine, fire is above and water is below, the host and the guest are different. The upper one gets higher, the lower one gets lower, the union does not end in one place, yin and yang are not complete. The river cannot be crossed, things cannot be exhausted, there is still a gap before success, and things are still not done…”

“Stop.” Xu Xiaoshou was overwhelmed, “Speak human language.”

“This is the most simple and easy-to-understand expression, Master Shou. To put it more simply, ‘He’ came too suddenly, and what he expressed was too radical. I couldn’t accept it at the moment, but I didn’t want to reject it directly…”

“So, you’re hanging Him?”

“……Um.”

“Oh, scumbag.”

Dao Qiongcang was stunned. He could not understand Xu Xiaoshou’s words for a moment. He quickly skipped this irrelevant topic:
“I chatted with Him for a few more sentences. In the end, I did not accept His words of ‘cultivating me’. On the contrary, I wanted to cultivate other things.”

“What is it?” Xu Xiaoshou asked.

“The secret of heaven cannot be revealed.” This guy immediately adopted that tone again. He never said anything that he shouldn’t say.

After a pause, he added: “I am curious about why Yan Sheng is able to hide his identity from the world. I might as well tell you that he has some help, but not much.”

“As for the way of memory, it is actually very difficult to remember Him, especially since I only knew about ‘Playing with Cranes’ before and didn’t know about ‘Nuo’. I almost forgot about it.”

“It was not until I saw you, Master Shou, suddenly return from the highest state of mind that I became alert. My Xu, you have also seen Him, right?”

Xu Xiaoshou was too lazy to deny this point.

The fact that Dao Qiongcang took the initiative to say so much shows that he really came with some sincerity.

He asked again: “Since you only know about playing with cranes and don’t know about Nuo, and you have never seen His appearance, how can you connect the two?”

Xu Xiaoshou has a very insightful view.

He is now almost looking at things from a God’s perspective, and he is certain that Dao Qiongcang, the Ten Ancestors, and others’ understanding of Nuo is not as deep as his own.

Dao Qiongcang was even in the mountain – if he didn’t even see the Nuo clothes and Nuo masks, then “Xihe” and “Nuo” would have no connection at all!

Dao Qiongcang: “The secret of heaven cannot be revealed~”

This guy… Xu Xiaoshou thought of Bai Zhou. Could it be that he got the images of Demon Ancestor, Nuo Ancestor, etc. in the memory of the Scaled White Witch, and finally connected them together?

unimportant.

He was too lazy to waste time talking to this guy. He felt that if he continued chatting, he would be tricked into revealing some information. He immediately ended the conversation and returned to the topic:
“So after talking so much, my Dao, what exactly do you want to say in the end?”

Lingxishu laughed softly, and said very sincerely:
“Master Shou, except for me, even those as strong as the Eight Gods, I have never seen any traces of Nuo on them.”

“This proves that you and I are the same kind of people, geniuses.”

“Let’s work together!”

Does this “cooperation” refer to the highest level of cooperation that surpasses the Three Ancestors, or does it mean superficial cooperation while the two parties continue to work in cahoots with each other in secret?

If it’s the latter, there’s no need.

If it was the former, to be honest, Xu Xiaoshou didn’t believe in Taoism.

“Okay, how do we cooperate?” Xu Xiaoshou counted with his fingers and figured out “not yet accomplished”. He planned to learn from the barbarians in order to defeat them, and keep them in suspense first, and then talk about other things later.

“No, no, no, my Xu, we know each other very well. I have opened my heart to this point. I don’t want this ‘cooperation’ to be limited to the surface.”

“Oh? Then, how can we deepen the cooperation?” Xu Xiaoshou felt amused. Does this show-off Taoist still think that he has “credibility” in front of outsiders?

“Master Shou, when we first met on Void Island, I did not deliberately target you. I also told you that the door of the Holy Temple will always be open to you, right?”

this……

I guess so?

But the various “handshake” patterns that followed were really scary. Anyway, this guy had no good intentions!

“I have joined forces with Bei Huai in the Four Symbols Secret Realm, and now you should know what this means, right? But even so, I drove you from Yujing to Qingyuan Mountain, then to Xingjie, and then to Changde Town… In the end, I didn’t take a single step. Can you see that, sir?”

this……

It can be considered as such.

But even if the whole town is full of Tianji puppets, if Dao Qiongcang wants to use this to deal with him, will Kui Leihan turn a blind eye?
“If I threaten Erzhu’s life, even if I don’t touch Erzhu in the end, I think, Cao Yihan doesn’t say he will help me, and you two have never met before, will he choose to take action or stand by and watch?” Dao Qiongcang seemed to have mastered the art of mind reading.

Oh?
Threatening me to cooperate?
Xu Xiaoshou was amused, and his tone suddenly became humble:

“Master Dao, I was just a chess piece at that time. It’s not a pity to die. The Eight Lords wouldn’t necessarily save me, right?”

“You too, don’t expect me to repay you for the kindness I showed you in the past… I’m not arguing with you about what happened back then, so I’m not a bad person, am I?”

Since it is a negotiation, Dao Qiong Cang will not be inferior to others. In response to this sentence, he said:

“Relic of God, at least we are close friends, and I have paid a fee for that. Who do you think I value more among the three ancestors, the others, and your choice?”

Xu Xiaoshou laughed when he heard this: “How should I know this? I’m not a worm in your stomach.”

“It’s you.”

Dao Qiongcang said it with absolute certainty, revealing his true feelings: “Xu Xiaoshou, I value you the most.”

The sudden expression makes people feel sick.

In the Qianshi Emperor Realm, Xu Xiaoshou couldn’t help but shudder and responded with a trembling voice: “Okay, I will cooperate with you in depth, but how can I trust you?”

Dao Qiongcang was already prepared:
“My Lord…”

“You and I are on different paths.”

These words are worth pondering.

The implication is that even if the various ancestors eventually seize the Dao, and Dao Qiongcang gets involved, it won’t be his turn to seize the Dao?

In other words, Dao Qiong Cang really wanted to seize the Dao of not just one of the three ancestors? Or perhaps all of them?
What on earth did this guy want to do…

Xu Xiaoshou did have a sense of crisis.

Compared to being enemies with Shudao Qiongcang, he was inclined to cooperate, whether in-depth or superficial. His tone became more serious:
“What do I need to do?”

“Of course you need to do something.” Dao Qiongcang is not the kind of person who would discuss cooperation with a loser. “You can not completely trust me and do not do more, but the most important point of our cooperation is at the critical moment…Shou Ye, you can not stop me.”

This is a bit overbearing.

What if there is a conflict of interest with me?

Just as Xu Xiaoshou had this thought, Dao Qiongcang said again:

“Don’t worry, Master Shou, I won’t make things difficult for you.”

“Since we are going to cooperate deeply, I dare to make a guarantee in advance to show my determination.”

“At that time, if you want it, whether it is the way of the ancestors, or the material possessions, or anything else, as long as it has no decisive relationship with the final result I am aiming for, even if it will affect myself or the layout, and make some sacrifices, I will help you get it.”

“As long as you, Xu Xiaoshou, ask, I, Daoqiongcang, will help you. How about this as an oath?”

Xu Xiaoshou’s heart was pounding, and he asked tentatively, “What if I say that I want the Eight Masters to live… to be deified, to become the ancestor, to merge two into one, to return to zero, to discern myself, to fight Hua Changdeng, and to still have a complete body, spirit, and mind, and to live sustainably?”

Dao Qiongcang: “…”

He was choked by dry words.

Is this “a” condition?

This is a “long sentence” that mixes them all!

“Master Shou, the battle to seize the Dao is no joke. If I dare to promise you so much, it would seem…”

“I agree.”

“What?” Dao Qiongcang was a little surprised by the sudden change.

“I agree to deepen our cooperation. As for your request, I will listen to you at ordinary times and listen to me at critical moments. If we still need to go our separate ways in the end, we can talk about it later.”

“Okay!” Dao Qiongcang’s tone became serious, as if a thorn in his heart had been pulled out.

“But in actual action, how do we cooperate? You haven’t told me what I mean?” Xu Xiaoshou is not a talker.

Coincidentally, Dao Qiongcang is also a man of action. When they are in cahoots with each other, they can almost breathe out of the same nose:
“Sharing intelligence, sir.”

“You don’t have to tell me what you have. I only want the things you think are important. I might overlook them. After all, you are at the pinnacle of your mind, and your ability to sense things on impulse is stronger than mine.” Dao Qiongcang paused, “I will tell you everything I have. What do you think?”

“This…” Xu Xiaoshou grinned. Doesn’t this mean that he can keep quiet and enjoy Dao Qiongcang’s intelligence for free? “It’s not fair, is it?”

“That’s it.” Dao Qiongcang easily heard his Xu’s happiness.

“By the way, since we are going to have in-depth cooperation, there is something I need to discuss with you.” Xu Xiaoshou suddenly had an idea.

“What?”

“It’s very simple. Dao Peipei and I have also cooperated. His intelligence and ability are similar to yours, and not inferior to yours. And since you Dao Qiongcang and he Dao Peipei are ‘Xu Jingting’, if his words contradict yours, who should I listen to?”

After asking this question, Xu Xiaoshou almost stood up and applauded himself.

Is Dao Qiongcang Dao Pepe?

So, Dao Qiongcang and Dao Peipei, who is the main one and who is the secondary one?

Which of what the showy Taoist said at the beginning is true and which is false?

If he dares to give an ambiguous answer, it means that this “in-depth cooperation” was a scam from the very beginning.

Kill four birds with one stone!
This question really left Dao Qiongcang speechless for a long time.

Xu Xiaoshou waited calmly, waiting to see how the showy old Taoist would respond, whether he dared to be roundabout – I’ll see if I can’t stab you to death!
“Shou Ye…”

“uh-huh?”

“Here’s what I think. If you trust me, listen to him on the surface and me in secret. I will mediate how to do it. If you trust him, then do the opposite. But you have to disguise yourself well and don’t let me see through you.”

Xu Xiaoshou was amused and said, “You are really good at getting around things.”

“Dao Qiong Cang.”

“uh-huh?”

“Excuse my stupidity. I don’t understand such roundabout things. I just want a one-sentence answer.”

These words left Dao Qiongcang silent again.

After a while, he was no longer vague and said murderously:
“Master…”

“There can only be one Dao Ancestor!”
