Chapter 156: A True Person Outside the Dao
The door opened, Zhou Yihan slowly stepped into the room, Su Qin carefully closed the door behind him, and did not come in together
After a few steps forward, passing through the corridor, turning to the left, two figures were waiting for him in front of the table and behind the table, Xi Yao he knew, so his eyes were mainly focused on the man sitting behind the table, the man was about forty years old, dressed in a neat plain robe, especially those eyes gave people too much confusion
The eyes are the window of the soul, all earthly people, there are a lot of worldly impurities in their eyes, there are feelings, desires, and obsessions, which is why in many TV series, people who have attained the Tao can always see the reason for the nature of mortals at a glance, but this Taoist is very exceptional, his eyes are like jade, pure and innocent, giving people a feeling of returning to the basics..
"This is Mr. Zhou?.. I didn't expect you to be so young.. I've just heard from Xiao Yao that this time they can come back alive thanks to Mr.'s help."
Seeing him walk into the hall, the Taoist chief sitting behind the table took the initiative to get up and walked forward, obviously as a person of the Daomen, he faced the handshake gift he chose to be a mundane handshake, this alone made Zhou Yihan take it seriously, and hurriedly stretched out his palm to shake it
"The Taoist is too prestigious, I don't dare to help each other, I just did some of my duties as a human being. In the next week Yi Han .."
"This is the city lord of our Lin City, a true person outside the Dao."
Xi Yao stretched out his hand to the city lord and introduced him
After hearing this, the Taoist chief smiled and said, "What a real person, it's just a title, my cultivation is still far away."
It's a good way to practice freely
sighed in his heart, let go of the palms of the two of them, and the real person outside the road led him to the side of the seat, and he also sat down on the other side, picked up the teapot on the table, and wanted to pour tea for him personally, Xi Yao on the side saw this, hurriedly stepped forward and took the teapot from his hand.
Zhou Yihan leaned back on his seat, swayed the folding fan in his hand slightly, looked at Xi Yao and smiled, turned his head to the Taoist chief and asked: "Real person, how do you explain the word "outside the Dao"?"
The city lord replied: "Outside the Tao is the meaning outside the Tao, everything in the world can be described as the Tao, and outside the Tao is the meaning of transcending this world."
Zhou Yihan said again: "The world is rampant with foreign animals, the people are displaced, and the way cultivated by real people can really achieve the word "detachment"?"
"Can't.."
The real person outside the Dao shook his head, and there was a look of pity on his face.
"In the last days, how many people can really transcend? My Tao is just to leave the world without leaving the world, just outside the Tao and within reason."
Hearing this, Zhou Yihan suddenly smiled and said, "I see... Outside the road, inside the inside.. That is, the so-called real people who have joined the WTO, right?
Xi Yao poured a good tea, Zhou Yihan took it and drank a cup casually, the tip of the tongue is fragrant, and the taste buds have a long history, even if he doesn't know much about tea, he knows that this tea must not be ordinary, and the tobacco, wine, and tea in the last days are all precious products, and the exchange price of tea is relatively cheaper, but one or two good cigarettes can already be exchanged for a few guns and a few boxes of ammunition in the hands of those high-class people in the capital.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yihan couldn't help grinning, although he may not lose a city when it comes to strength, but when it comes to financial resources, he only has himself, and all the assets on his body add up to not enough resources to open an hourly room in a better hotel...
This is really hard to achieve...
But this kind of thought is just thinking about it in his head, he didn't return to the end of the world this time to dominate the business world, reclaiming the world from the hands of the shadow demon is his only appeal, and everything else doesn't matter....
"Daowai City Lord, I have also drunk the tea, and I still have a little doubt in my heart, I hope you can give me some advice.."
Putting down the teacup and bringing the topic back to the main line, he still felt a little relieved in his heart Liu Hong and them, they were obviously police detectives from Rumeng City, why were they in Lin Cheng?
"You want to ask about the group of men in blue who raided you, right? That's a group of rebels in our forest city."
As soon as he saw him like this, the real people outside the Dao could guess what he wanted to ask, and explained with a light sigh: "Actually, there is no great reason, just because I don't like to fight by nature, in their words, I am cowardly and afraid of death, Lin Cheng will become someone else's vassal city in my hands sooner or later, they have ideals and ambitions, and they don't want to be in this corner of the place in this life, so they want to take away the position of the city lord from me."
"It's as simple as that?"
Zhou Yihan's eyebrows were frowning, his eyes looked at his whole body from time to time as he spoke, and he really couldn't see any kind of weakness of heart that people who made up nonsense would generally have, originally he thought that there would be any important secrets, life and death grudges between the two factions, but he didn't expect it to be so simple just to compete for the position of city lord?
But it is reasonable to say this, although Lin Cheng is in a safe corner, but the position of the lord of a city is enough to make most people in the world red, as long as you ascend to the position of the lord of the city, not only will you live without worry, but also ten thousand people, a group of servants, from now on to the wind and rain, such a position itself is a hot potato that makes people red, and anyone who holds it in their hands will be red..
After thinking about this, Zhou Yihan was relieved, since there is no life-and-death feud between the two factions, this matter is easy to solve...
"Daowai City Lord, I don't know if I should say something or not."
The city lord outside the Dao arched his hand and said, "Sir, it doesn't hurt to say anything.."
"I think that since you are dedicated to the Tao and don't love the glory of the world, it is better to directly hand over the position of the city lord to them... Since they like the position of the city lord so much, you just give it to them, otherwise it doesn't matter if you two factions fight for a few years, aren't it still those innocent people of Lincheng who suffer?.."
Zhou Yihan put down the teacup in his hand again, but this time he didn't raise his head, he didn't answer or not, he just put forward an opinion, and the decision to listen or not was up to others, so why did he look up at the stinky face that might appear?
But this time, he thought wrongly, it wasn't that he didn't put on a stinky face after listening to his words, but Xi Yao, who had been listening to him all the time, suddenly spoke...
"We will never compromise with the rebels! The city lord outside the Dao is our only leader! Those beasts who are inferior to pigs and dogs are not qualified to be city lords at all!"
Scolding so hard?
Isn't there no grudges...
Zhou Yihan gasped, raised his head and looked at Xi Yao, but just saw Daowai waving his hand to stop her next words, his expression did not change in any way because of his words, but the corners of his mouth swept up a wry smile, and said to him: "Mr. Zhou, how can I not know what you are saying? But if I want to put the position of the city lord and the lives of tens of thousands of people in this forest city into the hands of the rebel thugs, I will never be able to do it! I am not greedy for power... If there is someone around me who really regards Lin Cheng as his family and the people as his family, even if I hand over the position of city lord to him, I will not have any nostalgia..."
"And why ?..?"
Zhou Yihan looked at him and calmly asked his own question
But this time, Daowai Zhenren and Xi Yao didn't answer his question for a while, the two looked at each other, and they didn't know what dumb riddle they were playing, Zhou Yihan couldn't see it for a long time, so he simply turned his head again, and took a small sip of the fragrant tea in the cup, until he drank five or six cups in a row, and finally heard the voice of Daowai making up his mind next to his ears.
"Good.. Since Mr. Zhou has this question, Poor Dao will not hide it... I hope that Mr. will move and follow me to the outside of the palace."
"Where are you going?"
Although Zhou Yihan got up, he still habitually asked in his mouth, and the real person outside the Dao and Xi Yao led the way in front of the head, and turned back to explain to him: "Go to the place where all this cause and effect is planted.. Please don't ask too much about it, just follow us and you will know."
"It's weird.."
Zhou Yihan muttered in a low voice, but he didn't think much about it, I am afraid that there are no people or weapons that can take his life in this forest city, in this case, what can I do with him?
The two took him out of the house directly, at this time, Su Qin outside the house had already left, and when Daowai saw this, he wanted Xi Yao to go down to rest first, and he just took Zhou Yihan to "there" by himself, but she insisted on going with them, and Daowai couldn't resist her, so she had to agree...
Walking out of the compound, half a circle along the wall, they came to the destination of their trip, in front of a small and dilapidated thatched house, looking at the house in front of him, Zhou Yihan really doubted that he had taken himself to the wrong place.
But after entering, he realized that he was wrong, it turned out that there was a hole in this small hut, and the most surprising thing was that there was an elevator in the very center of this room..
