Chapter 68 Famous
The top ten names in the world were first proposed by a founding veteran general who was in charge of this matter in the 1980s. Later, it received strong support from the Religious Affairs Bureau, the Civil Affairs Commission, the Taoist Association, the Buddhist Association and other departments, and was discussed by a group of tyrants of the dynasty.
Speaking of which, my master is also one of the participants.
When evaluating the top ten in the world, many people actually didn't care at first. Even when my master talked to me, he said that he was forced to give him a title and used to make up the numbers. He himself was not that happy.
As the saying goes, "There is no first in literature and no second in martial arts." The best way to really identify the indisputable top ten in the world is to pull out the nominees, put them down the arena, and win and lose.
However, these people who are on the list are all famous people, and few people will come over to play with this little fame.
If you really do this, you will probably be ridiculed.
Of course, there are people who are as famous as Yizijian who are willing to obey orders, but this is unfair, so even if someone proposed it, it probably wouldn't be implemented.
However, the people who were rated at that time were all old men in the court and the world, and they were all aware of the heroes in the world. Therefore, although the cultivators who were rated may not be ranked in the top ten for various reasons, they are definitely top figures in the world.
At least in my opinion, every person who can be included is a big shot that countless people admire.
However, the term fame and fortune is the most harmful to people, especially those who are special as practitioners, are very concerned about such things, so people keep questioning this list, and some people at the top are worried that they are not listed.
Master Jingmian from Cihang Villa is one of them.
To be honest, if you really stand at the top and touch the realm that ordinary people look up to, it is really hard to say which one is higher or lower. More, in fact, everyone's cultivation is only between equals and equals, and the outcome depends only on the momentum.
There have always been things that are dissatisfied with the list, but it is a bit abnormal as the crowd is so surging.
But those people also make sense. The top ten people in the world evaluated back then, some people died and their souls returned to the underworld; some people disappeared and there was no news; and some people were in seclusion, not knowing what happened...
These people have long since disappeared from the world, so why should they occupy the list?
There are many such arguments, not only in the folk and in the court, but also in the court. When I heard Lin Qiming talk to me, the most fierce ones were those children of aristocratic families and guys from the Longhu Mountain lineage. He even heard three groups of Zhao Chengfeng talk about this with his own ears. He felt that earlier evaluations might stabilize people's hearts.
After these people talked about it, they all talked about one person, that is, Chen Zhicheng, the Black Handed Shuangcheng, that is, me.
What achievements have I made?
Apart from some secret missions that cannot be promoted, these people helped me promote my achievements over the years for free.
What is the one who has a single sword power against hundreds of Yan Zhao heroes, what is the world's number one killer who has lost his hand, what is the Huangshan dragon python blocking the evil spirit army, what is Yang Wei killing the blood-handed maniac in Nanyang, what is the one who leads the team to the dark underground in Tibet for a year...
There are many things like this, and these things are spread to the point of being clearly visible, as if the people are telling them clearly and know everything.
And these things, if not for the insiders who have read the file, would definitely not be able to explain these details.
For a moment, the public opinion in the world actually tended to make me the number one master in the world, and directly overwhelmed my master Tao Jinhong, Shanyang Zhenren of Longhushan and Wang Hongqiren.
There were also some concerns about these people and did not dig out the confrontation between me and Huang Tianwang, the number one master in the inner world, otherwise...
If it were the past that my reputation as the two cities of Dark Hands was so powerful, I would have accepted it safely. However, when I was hiding my strength and resting my low profile, I was overturning my bottom, and this thought would be a bit elusive.
At first I just thought it was a joke, but I didn't take it seriously. I never thought that later, many people actually believed it, and the eyes looked at me were a little different.
The people below naturally admire me when they see me, but those who have higher status or who are fluent in me will be somewhat meaningful.
When a tree stands out in the forest, the wind will destroy it.
If my cultivation and prestige really reached that level, it might not be so difficult to get along with. But to be honest, the more I know, the more I understand the things in this world. There is always a heaven beyond heaven, and there is no absolute in everything. If I really immerse myself in that illusory reputation, I am afraid I will be not far from death.
However, my mouth is on someone's face, and I am really annoying about this rumor. At first, I was trembling, but later on, I was too lazy to defend myself.
I originally thought that this matter was like a trend and it passed for a while, so after someone was tracing the source, I ignored it, but I didn't expect that one day, when I was walking on the road, I was stopped by four people.
That day happened to be a rest day. I am not a workaholic. In recent years, I have let go of things in my office for the people below. In addition to being hard-working, I often relax. On that day, I made an appointment with an old friend and went to find a place to have a drink together.
That old friend is not someone else, he is Shen Chong, the leader when I first joined the company.
He has been working in Jinling for many years, and it is very hard to work hard. Last year, he finally reached the age of retirement and retired. Before the New Year, he moved to Kyoto with his son. Because he had contact with my secretary Ouyang Hanxue, he got in touch with me again.
I am in a high position at the moment, and there are many people around me, but few people can communicate with each other. Friends like Shen Chong who start from the underworld seem very precious. If you gather occasionally, you can relax.
However, such a happy thing was cut off.
There were four people coming, surrounded me in an alley. The oldest was in his fifties, who had aging prematurely, and had white hair and beard. The younger one was only twenty years old, but his eyes were sharp, but they were all good people with good cultivation.
These four people are all high-quality practitioners, especially the middle-aged man who has been hiding behind, as if he is paralyzed in his face, can definitely be called a hero for a lifetime.
It is very urgent to be surrounded by people in our profession because I can't figure out whether it is an enemy or something else. However, I was not too nervous and didn't say anything, but looked at these people with squinted eyes.
I was not anxious or impatient, but the other party was a little weak when I saw it. I looked at each other left and right, but the oldest "white-headed man" came forward and pointed at me and said, "You are the two cities of the black hand, Chen Zhicheng?"
I said in a hurry: "What if there is, so what if there is no?"
I am not in a hurry to admit it because I can't figure out the origin of the other party. However, people like me, who don't change their names or surnames, even if they admit it, the white-headed man showed a disdainful smile on his face and said to me: "I originally thought that the madman who was the best in the world was so mad, but now he sees it's just like that..."
Hearing this, I couldn't help laughing. I knew that the reputation was so tired. Those guys were all talking about the train and were chatting for me. But there were really people who came here to make trouble for me.
The other party explained the purpose of the visit, but instead put down my guard, waved my hand with a relaxed face and said, "Whoever claims to be, whom I'm busy, see you back."
I didn't intend to talk to these people too much. Although the middle-aged man with facial paralysis is a very powerful character, no matter how it is, he cannot delay the drinks I made with others.
The other party thought I was going to argue, but I didn't expect that I would react like this, and I was surprised. Seeing that I was about to walk out of the encirclement, a young man with a proud face reached out to stop me and said in a strange voice: "Since we are the best in the world, let us juniors in the world take a look at what skills are there!"
He said, just a quick rush to come up and wanted to fight me.
I was so amused that even though I used the escape ring to restrain my breath, like an ordinary person, no matter how calm and steady I look like, I don’t look like a bully. Why did the other party just get on without saying a word?
I was full of doubts, but when I saw the fanaticism in the eyes of the young man, I suddenly realized it.
The reason is probably because I want to treat me as a stepping stone.
The Yizi Sword rose to Jinguancheng back then, and he was born in a humble background. However, he fought all over the world with a sword in his hand. However, the one who made people sit on the top ten lists in the world should be the result of his battle with my master when Maoshan opened the mountain gate.
One-word sword became famous in one battle and won the big list. Now the rumor of the world will be re-ordered, but I am the one who is the most popular.
In this case, there will naturally be people coming from afar and fighting with me.
It’s not that I have some grudges with these people, but that they want to step on my head and after defeating me, they turn around and brag about it, saying, “Look, what a bullshit world number one, you’re defeated me?”
In this case, the new top ten in the world, would the selector be embarrassed to give me a name?
Thinking of this, I was really helpless, but the young man did not feel the emotions in my heart. For the sake of his popular reputation, he even used his trump card as soon as he came up and wanted to take my life.
Seeing this, my heart suddenly became angry. Although I didn't know whether the young man was tempted or really wanted to do whatever he wanted, I couldn't help but take action.
