"Isn't it, a child who is only one and a half years old has begun to build a foundation?" Qi Xiang was a little dumbfounded, he definitely didn't believe it, and he was very suspicious: "You got me." ยค๏ผโ
"What's the good of lying to you." Chen Beixue was a little proud: "If you don't believe it, after ten years, you can come and see it." My nephew must have built a foundation and officially entered the Tao. โ
"Damn, ten years?" Qi Xiang's eyes widened, not because he felt that it was too long, but because he felt that it was too short.
In his memory, no matter which monk he was, as long as he wanted to cultivate the true foundation and enter the Dao, then he had to go through decades of hard work before he could succeed.
Mind you, it's just a possibility. Many people who have spent a lifetime of penance may not be able to succeed.
But Chen Bixue said that his eldest nephew, the chubby child in front of him with no teeth, would officially build a foundation and enter the Tao ten years later?
Can you believe this?
Qi Xiang was shocked, it was normal not to believe, but ...... In case of......
I'm not afraid of 10,000 in everything, I'm afraid of what if, what if it's true? Ten years later, a little kid who hasn't grown all the hair can successfully build a foundation and become a real person that everyone worships?
Thinking about it like this, Qi Xiang couldn't help but shudder, the picture was too beautiful to imagine.
However, Qi Xiang looks at the fat again, he is the natural protagonist, the big winner in life, the so-called child of destiny?
"Facts speak louder than words, and time will tell." Chen Beixue didn't bother to argue, but just asked, "What you just put in the lotus seed soup, is there anything else?" โ
"Why do you ask this?" Qi Xiang did not answer positively.
"If you have any extra words, just give me some." Chen Beixue said: "That thing of yours seems to be good for the body, and it just happens to be able to make up for my eldest nephew." โ
โโฆโฆ Nope. Qi Xiang shook his head.
"If you don't want to give it, forget it." Chen Beixue said lightly: "Why lie. โ
"Ahem!"
Qi Xiang directly changed the topic: "How did you talk with that Luo Shoushan?" โ
"How can it be?"
Chen Beixue seemed to be a little disdainful: "Zhida is a talented person." Obviously, there is no city government, and it is simply humiliating to want to learn from others to play strategy. โ
"Well, that's normal." Qi Xiang nodded and said: "A gang member, who is used to fighting and killing all day long, often goes straight to the end, and suddenly changes to play conspiracy and tricks, which is indeed a little embarrassing for him." โ
"It's not embarrassing, since he can do it. Don't be afraid to admit it. Chen Beixue said casually: "Originally, he just wanted to lure me out, but he didn't expect to involve a few of you by the way." โ
"Lead you to show up, and then blame the Wanshou Palace?" Qi Xiang's heart moved, and he speculated: "Is the big trouble he encountered related to the Wanshou Palace?" โ
"Half and half." Chen Beixue said in a deep voice: "On the surface, half of it is the pressure of the Wanshou Palace, and the other half is ......."
"What is it?" Qi Xiang asked: "Don't sell Guanzi." โ
Chen Beixue's expression was strange: "He said." Something went wrong with the secret realm of their platoon. โ
"Something went wrong with the secret realm?" Qi Xiang was stunned for a moment, and frowned: "This is ...... What do you mean? โ
"Literally." Chen Beixue explained: "He told me that the Pai Gang has been operating a secret place for hundreds of years. Recently, there have been frequent accidents, so that the masters in the gang have folded most of them......"
"Internal and external troubles, so serious?" Qi Xiang was surprised: "What is the situation? โ
"It's hard to say right now. I don't know until I go. Chen Beixue didn't care: "I'll leave for Xiangxi tomorrow, do you want to go with me?" โ
"Go, why don't you go." Qi Xiang nodded immediately. is not only curious, but more importantly, what if Chen Beixue goes alone and swallows all the benefits?
Well, that's how he is, he likes to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. I'm afraid it's not just him, but the other three people who think the same thing.
"Okay, then you go back and prepare." Chen Beixue didn't care: "Early tomorrow morning, I'll set off." โ
"That's right......"
Chen Beixue suddenly thought of something, and reminded again: "Remember to bring wound medicine in case you need it." โ
"Huh?"
Qi Xiang was stunned, and his brows furrowed slightly: "You mean, along the way...... Maybe it's not flat? โ
"Not a possibility, but a certainty."
Chen Beixue said coldly: "How much do you know about the platoon gang?" โ
"This ......"
Qi Xiang recalled the information he consulted in the past two days: "It should be that the ancient lumberjacks were interdependent and formed into a group when they were discharged along the river, and they gradually formed a local force." โ
The so-called release row is a relatively primitive means of transporting wood in ancient times.
In ancient times, there were many deep old forests, and it was definitely not easy for loggers to cut down trees between the mountains and forests, without the help of modern equipment, and to transport the towering trees out of the mountains.
Later, someone came up with a solution, which was to roll the large logs that slipped down from the mountains into the river, tie the three layers of large logs into a wooden row with bamboo ropes and large iron nails, and then connect a dozen large rows into a string and go straight down the river through the river.
This process is to put it down.
But it's not a simple and easy job. Because between the rivers, the water is turbulent and the reefs are all over the place, and if you are not careful, you will be crushed by the whole row of people who crash into the reef.
In other words, it is a very high-risk thing, and if the people who put the row do not work together, it will be difficult to get through the difficulties.
It is also a matter of course that a group of people get together and develop into a gang organization over time. However, the platoon gang is also more peculiar, there is no gang leader in the gang, but the platoon leader manages everything.
Maybe out of a dozen people, there is one in the lead.
Of course, this kind of is only a small leader, and above the small leader, there are also big leaders who manage dozens of people, hundreds of people, or even thousands of people.
There is no doubt that Luo Shoushan belongs to such a big line, and he is elected by the leader of the big and small platoon gangs, and the person who speaks to the outside world is equivalent to the honorary helper.
It's just that Luo Shoushan, the leader of the big queue, seems to be quite miserable, and he is a bit of a dilemma at the end of the road.
"I'm not asking you about the formation and development of the Pai Gang."
At this time. Chen Beixue shook her head and said, "I want to ask you, how much do you know about the Pai Gang, or the inheritance of Pai Sect?" โ
"Teaching ......"
Qi Xiang groaned: "When the platoon is released, the risk is very large, and it is easy to break bones at every turn, and it is not possible to die well, so while forming a gang, it also needs the support of faith." โ
"The patriarch of Pai Jiao worship seems to be the mage Chen Silong of the Tang Dynasty."
Qi Xiang said: "Legend has it that he is not a monk or a Taoist. The spell is a family of its own, because it feels the hardships and hardships of the life of the workers, and the day is precarious, so they make a grand wish to control the river and water channels in their lifetime, remove reefs, kill water monsters, and keep one side safe. โ
"He instructed the platoon workers to put a big drum on the wooden platoon, press the oar, play the drum to cheer for the rehearsal to ward off evil spirits, and use the oars to guide the direction and defuse the disaster."
Qi Xiang also admired a little: "Anyway, it's a very powerful character." No wonder he was able to become the ancestor of a religion. โ
"That's right."
Chen Beixue nodded lightly: "A gang is not terrible, what is terrible is a gang with faith, which can unite people's hearts to the greatest extent and make people fearful......"
"In the heyday of the Pai Gang. There are hundreds of thousands of gang members, plus the families of the members, at least a few million, which is a terrifying number. โ
Chen Beixue said in a deep voice: "Hundreds of thousands of powerful men. already has the strength to change the dynasty, once provoked by people with ulterior motives, this is for the ruler. Undoubtedly a disaster. โ
"So ......"
Chen Beixue turned her head, and a strange light appeared in her eyes: "Since the Song Dynasty, the descendants of various major sects have vied with each other to pass down their own Taoist lineage in the Pai Gang. In the past thousand years, the Pai Gang has included almost all the Dao traditions of the mage schools in the country. These Taoist systems are mixed, good and bad, and due to different concepts, they are more likely to cause disputes and contradictions. โ
"This trick ......" Qi Xiang was suddenly speechless: "It's really ruthless...... No, it should be clever. โ
Quietly, it disintegrated people's hearts, this is a conspiracy to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle, and the platoon gang can't resist it at all. And I am afraid that we should not refuse it openly, lest we invite calamity.
"It's really clever, so all along, the platoon gang has no real sense of help, but a relatively loose gang composed of various platoon leaders. Within the gang, the competition is also very fierce, and only when the foreign enemy comes to attack, will they unite and resist their insults. โ
Chen Beixue paused, turned his head and said: "So all along, the Pai Gang has had a big enemy, and that is Wanshou Palace. It can be said that without Wanshou Palace, I'm afraid the Pai Gang has collapsed, do you understand what I mean? โ
โโฆโฆ Depend on! โ
Qi Xiang's mind was full of thoughts, and his aura suddenly flashed, and he was dumbfounded: "Do you want to say that Wanshou Palace, the enemy on the surface of the Pai Gang, is actually the biggest ally of the Pai Gang?" โ
"Or else?" Chen Beixue said lightly: "The rise of Wanshou Palace, the power has quickly spread all over the country, and I don't know how many sects have been offended. If it does not have the support of its allies, it will not be able to survive under the pressure of many parties. โ
"No, why bother playing Infernal Affairs." Qi Xiang felt a little dizzy, he was so surprised and shocked, after making trouble for a long time, Luo Shoushan and the people from Wanshou Palace were actually acting?
In other words, the Pai Gang does have internal and external troubles, but the real external troubles are not Wanshou Palace, but ...... Someone else? โ
Qi Xiang thought thoughtfully: "No wonder, in the vicinity of Xiangxi, there are obviously big forces such as Longhu Mountain and Wudang Mountain, but Luo Shoushan did not come to the door to ask for help, but traveled thousands of miles to Jinling." โ
"It is estimated that he is also not worried about his neighbors, so he simply adheres to the concept of long-distance friendship and close attack, and seeks the near and far."
Qi Xiang suddenly felt a little strange: "However, there are many powerful forces in the world, why does he want to come to you?" โ
"Because my surname is Chen ......"
Chen Beixue casually held the chubby child in her hand and slowly walked towards the corridor, her voice was very clear: "This reason is enough." (To be continued......) u
