I Am Loaded with Passive Skills

Chapter 580: The Wine of the Masked Man

I want to go home!

Xu Xiaoshou wept secretly in his heart.

He longed so much for freedom.

But the reality is so skinny.

No one can really live the life they want.

At this stage when I am not strong enough, passive will always be synonymous with Xu!

"Nie Yuan!"

Xu Xiaoshou made a low mockery, did not give up, raised his eyes and said, "As you said, you will not force me to make a choice."

The storyteller laughed when he heard it, and he opened his mouth to speak out.

The masked man reached out to stop him, and said calmly: "I never break my promise, but Wen Ming, you have to think clearly, do you really want to run away?"

"ha?"

The storyteller became anxious immediately.

This is a young man that he has spent a lot of money and hasn't caught yet.

Brother, do you want to let go?

"No."

"he's mine!"

The storyteller brazenly defends his sovereignty.

The masked man turned to stare at him.

The latter stretched his neck back and became quiet obediently.

hateful……

Sure enough, you still can't stick to three sentences?

Wen Ming is mine! ! !

Xu Xiaoshou ignored this guy, only looked at the masked man, and said firmly: "That's right, I don't want to go with you."

"Do you have a way out?" the masked man asked back.

"have."

"where?"

Xu Xiaoshou turned around and looked behind him.

"The sky is big and the earth is big, where can't it be home?"

"You really think so?" The masked man pressed forward step by step.

"if not?"

Xu Xiaoshou shook his head, "If I really leave with you, will I really fall into the quagmire? Although I don't know what you holy slaves are going to do, but..."

He hesitated and couldn't continue.

Sheng Slave's goal is very clear and ambitious.

Even if Xu Xiaoshou didn't know what it was, he could still feel it from the repeated contact with the masked man.

If you really want to join the group, if there is no accident at that time, what you will face is the entire hall of the Holy Spirit.

How can this be?

Xu Xiaoshou made his decision when the masked man invited him for the first time.

Instead of joining the evil organization, it is better to directly choose the Temple of the Holy Spirit, the number one force in the mainland.

At least, in there, he should still be considered bright!

Disappointment appeared in the masked man's eyes.

He seemed to see through Xu Xiaoshou's thoughts.

"Turn back."

Seeing Xu Xiaoshou raised his eyes, the masked man pointed behind him and said, "Look over."

"What?"

Xu Xiaoshou hesitated and turned his head again.

At the end of the ravine behind him was the horizon of the White Grotto.

Further up, there is the white cave space world that is about to be shattered.

"What did you see?" asked the masked man.

"Road, and hope." Xu Xiaoshou replied.

"Ah!"

The masked man couldn't help laughing: "Is that really the case?"

"right."

Xu Xiaoshou nodded heavily.

"Is the White Cave big?" the masked man asked again.

"It's huge."

Xu Xiaoshou hesitated, "But it's also very small."

After all, in such a big white cave, I can always run into walls everywhere, which is really rare!

"Yes, the White Cave is not that big."

The masked man breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask, "So what did you meet in the White Cave?"

"..."

This time Xu Xiaoshou couldn't speak, he could vaguely sense that the masked man wanted to hide from him.

"Opportunity, hope, and the future."

Xu Xiaoshou was vague, and then added: "Without you..."

"you are wrong!"

The masked man interrupted on the spot.

His shoulders were slightly stretched back, obviously he had never raised his chest, but in Xu Xiaoshou's view, he seemed to be a few feet taller, and his aura reached its peak with such a small movement.

"If my guess is correct, you encountered the famous sword in the White Cave." The masked man asserted.

Xu Xiaoshou was dumbfounded.

Can he really notice it?

"The ultimate fire attribute,

The power of Jinzhao... Only Yan Mang, who is ranked third in the sword list, is left, am I right? "The masked man smiled confidently.

Xu Xiaoshou felt his throat dry up.

His famous sword has already recognized its owner, and it has been placed in the Yuan Mansion.

How could the masked man be aware of it?

"you……"

"You don't need to speak, I will do."

The masked man interrupted Xu Xiaoshou again, saying: "You have met a famous sword, but this sword does not belong to your chance, it was given to you by someone else."

"If my guess is right, you should regret taking this sword now." The masked man smiled.

Please help, [Mimi Reading App] can steal book tickets like stealing vegetables, come and steal books voted for by friends’ book tickets.

Xu Xiaoshou: "..."

"The White Cave is so big, this is the chance you mentioned."

The masked man said bluntly: "Alms from others... Sorry, it's too serious, it should be called a gift!"

"I don't regret it." Xu Xiaoshou was stubborn.

"It's just a dead duck with a hard mouth."

The masked man smiled brightly, and said again: "The last time I saw you, the power of Jinzhao in your body was never so strong..."

"Jinzhao the original species?"

Feeling the aura in Wenming's body, the masked man turned his head to look at the storyteller, and asked, "You should also be able to feel the existence of this thing when you entered the White Cave. If nothing else, will you fight for it?"

"Forehead……"

Cold sweat broke out on the storyteller's forehead.

He never told his brother about this...

But this can also be pushed out?

"It's normal."

"For the second child."

The masked man couldn't stop smiling, and looked at Xu Xiaoshou again, and said, "You took the original Jhin photo, and then fell in love with the storyteller, am I right?"

Xu Xiaoshou panicked now.

He felt that this person who covered his head and face was worthy of being the first existence of the Holy Slave.

This brain is simple!

It seems that he has been watching this world from the perspective of God.

"The White Grotto is so big, you wandered around twice and got a famous sword and the original Jinzhao."

"Then, you were drawn into two vortexes."

"Do you regret it?"

Without waiting for Xu Xiaoshou's response, the masked man asked himself and answered, "I regret it."

"If you can throw away these two things in exchange for freedom, I think it's an acceptable thing..."

"Have you thought about it?"

"When you are most helpless."

Xu Xiaoshou remained silent.

Tzenchov watched with arms crossed.

Looking at the hesitant expression of the young man below, he could sense the other party's true thoughts.

It is estimated that I have not only thought about it, but it is possible to regret it!

only……

Glancing secretly at the chief seat, Cenchov was a little surprised.

The last time the first seat spoke so many words at once was the child he met in the ruins of that dilapidated family.

Then, there were two lines of tears.

This smells clear, is it worth it?

The masked man looked at Xu Xiaoshou who was silent, and his voice sank:

"The White Grotto is so big, when you look back, you can see the hope you said - you got it, but you also lost it!"

"Isn't it ridiculous?"

Xu Xiaoshou's heart trembled.

He already knew what the masked man wanted to do.

Chance, hope, and the future...

The three directions I just mentioned, this guy actually wants to completely deny himself?

"My future, I can control myself!" There was anger in Xu Xiaoshou's voice.

"Is that true?"

The masked man looked disapproving, "Back to the question I asked you just now..."

"Turn back."

He suddenly spoke in a commanding tone.

Xu Xiaoshou was determined not to return.

How could he let the other party get what he wanted?

"woodcutter."

The masked man turned his head to look at Cenchov, who was watching the show.

The latter held his forehead like a headache.

"Really, come by yourself!"

The fingers on his waist trembled.

Xu Xiaoshou at the bottom was horrified to find that the scenery in front of him had completely changed.

In front of him, except for the three saints and slaves who were still in their original positions, all the scenes that could be seen became the pictures that he could only see after turning his head.

"Forced to turn back?"

Xu Xiaoshou was dumbfounded.

In the next second, he suddenly came to his senses, and a storm surged in his heart.

No.

Not looking back.

Rather, the world turned?

Looking at Cen Qiaofu with a horrified face, Xu Xiaoshou felt powerless at this moment.

Cut the road...

This is the beheading?

How is it possible to turn the world around? !

"See it."

The masked man spread his hands.

"In this little white cave, even if you don't want to look back, there are still people who can make people see everything you don't want to see."

"And the reality, in fact, is the case."

"What you dare not face is the fear of the unknown that comes from the depths of your soul."

"But, is it useful?"

"When you stand here, you are already at the center of the vortex of the storm."

"No matter how determined, no matter how stubborn..."

"In the end, it's just self-deception."

There was a hint of sarcasm in the masked man's eyes, as if he was not only targeting Xu Xiaoshou, but also seeing himself.

"The gears of fate are gnashing together and advancing step by step. Do you think you can stay out of it by blindfolding?"

"wrong!"

"Doing this will only make you crushed by gears in numbness."

"Open your eyes and face reality!"

The masked man's tone was helpless: "You have already stood here..."

He pointed to the ground.

"Beside me."

...

Xu Xiaoshou felt his heart shaking.

If it had been a speech, he would have even given the Masked Man an eighty-two.

Even if he doesn't want to admit it anymore, Xu Xiaoshou at this moment really feels enlightened.

The other party spoke very implicitly.

But Xu Xiaoshou couldn't hear it.

"After being in it, it is difficult to want to stay out of it!"

There are all kinds of excuses, such as Sang Lao's coercion, red clothes' sniping, caramel sugar, the choice of the embarrassed saint...

This is also true!

Even if there are various preconditions in advance, the fait accompli does not matter the preconditions.

Even if it is passive.

At this moment, I have indeed stepped into the sight of many people.

"Alone?"

For the first time, Xu Xiaoshou felt how ridiculous the choice he made was!

In a situation where big bosses gather, he still wants to be alone?

Just because he wanted to be alone, he walked all the way, step by step from Sang Lao's layout, into the sight of the red clothes, and then into the saint's chess game, and then he was also targeted by ghosts and beasts...

Think back.

All these fait accompli facts, not already admonishing myself, the choice is wrong!

"Deceive yourself..."

To be honest, Xu Xiaoshou really didn't want to face this vocabulary.

But what the masked man said did expose the bloody reality.

Choose to be alone.

In just this period of time, I have encountered so much.

If you keep going, can you still hold it?

Now all parties are in love with themselves.

But I really have that potential, so that their patience can survive until the time when I grow up?

Not so...

Once one of the chains breaks.

They want to use strong.

This layer of gauze between fantasy and reality cannot even withstand a gentle poke.

"Vigil..."

Xu Xiaoshou thought of the vigil.

From the connivance at the beginning, to the tolerance after understanding my thoughts, to the incomplete break at this moment...

How long did it take?

If we persisted, would it be a real break?

At that time, was he able to resist the real Zhan Dao attack with anger?

Watching the night, will you still let your own temper behave like a child?

"There are also ghosts and beasts, and holy slaves..."

Xu Xiaoshou took a deep breath.

He sort of figured it out.

I am indeed too naive.

The White Cave is large, but also small.

The Holy Spirit Continent is very large, but it is also very small.

I am barely a good chess piece at this moment, and can play a little role in the future, so the chess player will indulge my little temper.

But when the strength breaks through again, it reaches a certain critical point.

If there is such willfulness, can the other party bear it?

"Because it's almost time to lose control, so I have to take action and kill it in advance?"

"If you can't get it, destroy it?"

Xu Xiaoshou understood how these people were thinking.

Even, it is very likely that the masked person in front of him also thinks the same way.

So, in this cruel reality...

"Compromise?"

Xu Xiaoshou was a little shaken.

The masked man's words tore open the hands that covered his eyes.

After seeing the direction clearly, Xu Xiaoshou understood how difficult the road ahead was.

Compromise is really a good choice!

stand in line...

At least after standing in the team, this kind of difficult situation will no longer happen, right?

Backed by a big tree to enjoy the shade.

With someone behind them, even if the cards in their hands are finished, they will present dozens of piles of cards, right?

This is completely different from fighting alone.

No worries, just crush all enemies in front of you.

Then……

Xu Xiaoshou's thoughts reached this point, and he froze suddenly.

Then, what is it?

What is the purpose of doing this?

——In order to become a real pawn?

The coolness all over his body suddenly seeped from the soul level, and Xu Xiaoshou felt cold all over his body for a while.

He thought of his firm belief when he stood up in the ancient book space.

"for freedom!"

And if you choose to compromise, is it still for freedom?

...

"you are wrong."

The masked man remained silent until Xu Xiaoshou's complexion changed drastically, then he interrupted and said, "I know what you're worried about."

"However, man is not a lonely animal."

"A person's road, no matter how straight he walks, will never be complete."

"At this moment, I am by your side."

"To you, I am the sky, the umbrella, and an irresistible force."

"But to me, you are really worthless now, and you are a dispensable pawn."

"Cruel, isn't it?"

The masked man smiled, and said again: "But what about another angle?"

"tool!"

"Before you grow up, I am your tool, just use it well, why do you think so much?"

"The reason why human beings progress is that they are constantly using tools."

"Stone tools, fire weapons, spiritual weapons..."

"Flesh body, will, spiritual essence..."

"Which step of growth and evolution is not using the so-called 'tools'?"

"Everything can be a tool, and human beings are also everything. There is nothing more noble than plants, trees, flowers and stones. Why can't he be used?"

"And why..."

The masked man sharpened his words and pierced the depths of his soul: "When you pick up the famous sword, you can focus on nothing else. With people as your sword, you start to worry about gains and losses?"

Xu Xiaoshou felt his head buzzing as if he had been pierced by a sword intent. The pain made him bow his back and curl up with his head in his arms.

The storyteller was a little surprised.

"Take it easy, take it easy..."

He looked at Xiao Wenming worriedly.

The other party is just a child, so he can't be so violent!

The masked man didn't take it seriously, and stretched his hand to the side, spreading four fingers.

"ha?"

Cenchov stared at the hand in front of him and was stunned. What do you mean?

"My gourd." The masked man rolled his eyes and said.

"Ooh."

Only then did Cenchov come to his senses, and complained: "Really, can't you take your own things with you?"

As he spoke, he took out a small black gourd and "slapped" it on the masked man's hand.

...

Xu Xiaoshou was speechless.

The sword intent of the masked man is too strong.

With just a few words, he felt his soul split open.

But……

compromise?

Xu Xiaoshou really can't do it!

If the self and freedom he insisted on have collapsed, how can he continue walking all the way?

The masked man had his reasons for what he said.

But it's unrealistic to put it on yourself!

Can't empathize either!

"well."

A low sigh echoed in the void.

The masked man stretched out his hand to stick to his neck, and pulled it up to lift the mask over his nose.

Xu Xiaoshou's expression was suddenly shocked.

In the picture from "Perception", there is a large scar on the other party's neck, isn't it just like the carved man I saw in Lingzang Pavilion?

Isn't it the unique symbol of the sloppy uncle when he met the red dog that day?

this……

the same person?

Xu Xiaoshou's thoughts suddenly became confused.

The masked man's jawline was very strong, but with an unshaven beard and solidified blood scabs, he was in a state of extreme chaos.

As soon as he wiped his mouth, he wiped away the blood he spit out before, and then flicked the gourd plug with his fingers.

There was a sudden smell of alcohol in the air.

Very strong.

Very pungent.

Xu Xiaoshou was choked awake by the sudden smell.

"Young people are always easy to get into a dead end!"

The masked man pointed the wine gourd at his mouth, and was about to raise his head when he suddenly thought of something.

"I have said enough, but let me add one more thing."

He put down his hands and looked up at the sky.

"White Cave, what color is it?"

The two people on one side couldn't help but look up.

Xu Xiaoshou also regained his sanity slightly from the tingling of his soul, and raised his head.

"Crimson..."

The three murmured at the same time.

There is no sun or moon in the White Grotto World, but the sky is always crimson.

"Yes, Scarlet."

The masked man sighed: "So, this world is not black and white, so how can there be any absolutes?"

"Right and wrong, good and evil, light and darkness, earth and sky..."

"These are just words given to things by people, so what is the so-called absolute?"

"That being the case, then, are compromise and freedom really opposite?"

Xu Xiaoshou's mind slapped and felt a thunderous explosion, and his thoughts were split.

These words are very familiar.

It was what he had told the vigil earlier.

However, the content that was used to prevaricate the vigil at that time, when it was said from the mouth of the masked man, had another flavor?

"Ah!"

The masked man shook his head and chuckled.

"When the White Cave is broken, there is the Holy God Continent. If the Holy God Continent is broken, is it really the end of the world?"

"Not necessarily!"

He pondered for a while, as if talking to himself:

"You define the world subjectively, but use the subjectively defined world to confront yourself, is it ridiculous?"

"ridiculous!"

"Compromise and freedom are not a set of words that restrict each other."

"He is just a choice of your subjective consciousness."

"It's just a 'choice'!"

"Be serious, it's just a 'choice'!"

"How do you look at it, it comes from yourself..."

"That's all for now."

Seeing Wen Ming with endless confusion in his eyes, the masked man fell silent.

He wiped his mouth again, rubbing off the dry dead skin on his lips, and raised his head while holding the wine gourd.

The space was shattered, and the sound of the wind was harsh, making his black robe rustle.

"Freedom, who doesn't yearn for it?"

Adam's apple rolled.

"Gulu Gulu..."
