He Yan, who was fed tons of dog food by Xu Xingkong and Lin Xiaofeng, almost got off the train as if she was running away, fortunately she was spelled by Xu Xingkong, so that she would not be recognized on the lively platform, but this still made Sister Liu a big jump, but Sister Liu reacted quickly, so her eyes always looked at Xu Xingkong and his wife inadvertently.

When the flow of people disappeared, Xu Xingkong and the others left the station unhurriedly, and then were picked up by people who were very low-key but respectful, He Yan knew that those people with different temperaments who engaged in the battle were definitely not so cautious because of themselves.

The car did not run to the suburbs, but went directly to the central area of the capital, where there is a place where the people of the whole country know to be quiet.

Xu Xingkong and others took a modified medium-sized bus, and the spacing between the seats was very large, and it was still in the form of sitting opposite each other, and it was very comfortable to sit up.

When she got to the car, He Yan immediately became a supporting role, she and Sister Liu sat in the back position, and not long after getting in the car, Sister Liu fell asleep unconsciously. Sitting in the main seat in the middle of the car were Xu Xingkong and Lin Xiaofeng, and opposite the two of them was a white and chubby man in a suit.

This person has a very obvious officialdom, even ordinary people on the street can see at a glance that this is an official, no matter how natural and friendly his smile is, it will inevitably have an obvious officialdom atmosphere, which makes people have a subconscious sense of resistance.

In fact, this is the same as those smiling tigers in the shopping mall, not that they have to be like this, but because of the living environment, and now is the information age, the people are also well-informed, and the cordial smile of nothing to do is courteous, which will only make people vigilant and repulsive, after all, your identity is placed there, no matter how you hide it, the essence cannot be changed.

"Elder Xu, Chief Lin, it's really an honor to meet two worldly masters, hehe..."

This fat man's name is Zhang Chaodong, he is the director of the State Religious Affairs Office (Religious Affairs Management Office), you can roughly guess his age when you hear this name, if you expand your thinking a little, and even guess his background, it is likely that this is a second generation.

However, he must not underestimate others because he is a second generation, the gentlemen in those literary works on the street are not the real second generation, at most, they are just some second generations who are not up to the level, the real second generation is strictly cultivated, even if it can't be supported because of qualifications, it must not become a cheat.

What's more, the harmless fat man in front of him is actually a clever martial artist, although he is not as good as a martial arts elder like Wu Dingguo, but it is estimated that he can also rank among the Chinese martial artists.

If he is really a second generation, and he can still practice his skills to this level at this age, then I have to say that this is also an amazing and glamorous character.

Xu Xingkong was not interested in this kind of unnutritious polite words, and Lin Xiaofeng would not care about it, but now that Lin Xiaofeng thinks that she is the daughter-in-law of the Xu family, and her own man is present, even if her status in the door is slightly higher than Xu Xingkong, she does not plan to speak in front of Xu Xingkong.

Xu Xingkong tugged at the corners of his mouth and said:

"Director Zhang, there is no need to say this polite word, we are not Jianghu warlocks, it is not interesting to hold it around, this time we are in Beijing, there must be many places to trouble and rely on Director Zhang, I will thank you here first." ”

Zhang Chaodong laughed, waved his hand and said:

"Elder Xu is too polite, I have really admired the two of you for a long time, Elder Xu is a figure who has created a new era, to be honest, I can't make friends sooner, if it weren't for the position and responsibility that I can't throw away, I would have gone south to Pengcheng to ask Elder Xu for advice as soon as possible. ”

"Director Zhang praised it, is this your personal idea?"

"Of course, that's what we think. ”

Zhang Chaodong nodded solemnly, and the corner of his eyes quickly swept He Yan behind him, He Yan subconsciously turned his gaze away, but his ears did not rest.

Zhang Chaodong sighed slightly, removed the smile on his face and said:

"Elder Xu, you should be very clear about our route in the past 30 years, the so-called boat against the current will retreat if you don't advance, if we can't keep pace with the times, then the only end is to be completely abandoned by history and the people. Therefore, we never refuse to change, but take the initiative to accept, understand, and use all new theories and new knowledge, but Elder Xu, as you know, our influence in the spiritual circle is quite limited. ”

Xu Xingkong nodded clearly, in fact, at this moment, Lin Xiaofeng was using the spiritual rhino channel built by the two people's limbs to explain the deep meaning of Zhang Chaodong's words to Xu Xingkong at the same time, otherwise he might not be able to understand Zhang Chaodong's true thoughts by Xu Xingkong alone.

Zhang Chaodong's words seem to be a bit formulaic on the surface, and they seem to be just expressing an attitude, but a careful analysis will show that Zhang Chaodong's words have the meaning of showing favor to Yushan Yuzhai, the so-called acceptance and use of new theories and new knowledge, that is, the meaning of actively identifying with and forming friends with people who have mastered new theories and new knowledge.

Especially his last sentence, since the government has a very limited vested interest in the cultivation circle, that is, it belongs to the barefoot and is not afraid to wear shoes, so he is hinting that the government will be more active in contacting and making friends with Yushan Yuzhai, and also welcomes Yushan Yuzhai as a spoiler, because the government may gain more benefits in this reshuffling change.

For Yushan Yuzhai, it is undoubtedly beneficial to get the support of the government, not to mention, just in the political and economic aspects to Pengcheng more tilt, Pengcheng's economic and population development will get great benefits, and the beneficiaries of population and urban development, of course, the first to recommend Yushan Yuzhai.

On the other hand, the government, like Yushan Yuzhai, is an emerging force in the cultivation circle, and the two have many common interests and a deep foundation for cooperation.

Of course, there is a good side and a bad side, if Yushan Yuzhai is too close to the government, there is no doubt that it will cause the jealousy of other sect forces, and even cause a strong backlash, so how to master the 'degree' is the most important. Moreover, there is still a big gap between the benefits that the government can provide and the chips in Yushan Yuzhai's hands, which is also a headache.

The communication between Xu Xingkong and Lin Xiaofeng was extremely fast, and almost before Zhang Chaodong's words fell, Xu Xingkong replied:

"I understand your opinion, in fact, we Yushan Yuzhai have never thought of cherishing ourselves, and even we have no intention of refusing the peace-loving demon clan, since you also want to do your best for the research and promotion of new theories, I think not only our Yushan Yuzhai, but also colleagues in the cultivation circle should also be welcome. ”

Of course, Xu Xingkong is not singing a high profile, how can Zhang Chaodong, an old fritter in the officialdom, not understand what Xu Xingkong means, Xu Xingkong wants to tell him that if the government wants to intervene, Yushan Yuzhai does not refuse the participation of the government, but in the end, it depends on the meaning of the various major factions in China, if the traditional forces in the circle are resolutely opposed, Yushan Yuzhai is not good to go against the trend.

Zhang Chaodong pondered for a moment, squinted his eyes and smiled:

"What Elder Xu said is extremely true, but we must also consider the interests of hundreds of millions of people not only in the cultivation circle, but also in mind. ”

Xu Xingkong pursed his lips, although this kind of high-sounding 'representative' is a bit false, but you have to admit that this is a fact, but Zhang Chaodong's reason may not be accepted by fellow practitioners in the cultivation circle.

Xu Xingkong nodded and said:

"This is natural, we Yushan Yuzhai have never felt that we can exist apart from the world, considering the interests of the people is a matter of course, and it is precisely because of the full consideration of the interests of the people that we will introduce peace-loving demon clans to participate in the research, and the reason for this Director Zhang must also be clear. ”

"We understand very well what Elder Xu and Yushan Yuzhai have done, and it is precisely because of this that I feel that there are many points of view that we both have the same and... Moreover, Elder Xu should also know that the circle of our cultivators, even counting the peripheral personnel, probably does not exceed one million, and the real core is only a hundred thousand people, while our people are more than 1.3 billion. ”

Xu Xingkong Zhengsedao:

"I understand what Director Zhang said, so although we people think we are superior, in fact, we can't really dominate the world. ”

"Yes, we can play an exemplary and guiding role at most, and the so-called water can carry a boat and capsize a boat. ”

Xu Xingkong tugged at the corners of his mouth, Zhang Chaodong, is this a threat in disguise?

There is no doubt that the billions of people in the secular world are definitely a huge force that makes people have to be discouraged, and it is not the wealthy factions in the cultivation circle who dominate this force, it is the government that controls this power, no matter how arrogant and domineering the wealthy faction is, they have to think about what the government will do if they are in a hurry.

In fact, there have been violent conflicts between traditional cultivation forces and the government more than once in history, and as a result, the government has not had a good ending, and the cultivation circle has suffered a great loss of vitality, and even caused a strong invasion of foreign tribes.

Of course, Zhang Chaodong is just talking about it, they don't dare to really lift the table, after all, it hasn't reached the point where you live or die, it's just this threat, no matter which sect or faction it is, it must not be taken seriously.

Lin Xiaofeng frowned, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, and she seemed to be very disgusted by Zhang Chaodong's threat, but she still didn't speak.

Zhang Chaodong was sitting opposite, how could he not see the expression on Lin Xiaofeng's face, but he didn't see it, but he still had a formulaic smile on his face, squinting at Xu Xingkong.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Xu Xingkong's mouth, and he asked lightly:

"Is this Director Zhang's opinion, or does it represent your attitude?"

"This is our will, but also the will of the people, we don't want to dominate everything, but we can't lose the power to control the situation, to put it mildly, if they can do it, what do you want us to do? So, it still depends on us to guide and develop this country, Elder Xu, you say yes, right?"
