Chapter 30: Speculators

When the weather warms up, the Qiantang of Wu County will be lively, and people living in various places will rush to gather. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This group of people are all believers in the Five Dou Rice Dao, some of them are in high positions, some of them are of low status, no matter what, when they come here, they will be received by Du Zigong, the leader of the Five Dou Rice Dao, and they will gather for a meeting to discuss the doctrine and so on, which has become a common practice.

Today, too, the atmosphere was particularly warm, the number of people who came was twice as many as before, and the number of people received was not enough, and even Du Zigong's disciples were asked to receive it in person.

They are the most firm believers in Wudou Midao, so after coming here, the level of identity is often subconsciously ignored, and the content of the talk is only about the method of cultivation and the method of self-cultivation, and the recent "Dadong True Scripture" is because it is rumored to be made by Wei Huacun, the immortal monarch who has long since passed away, has become the hottest topic in this group of people.

Being able to have a common topic made it much easier to talk about it, but after gradually going deeper, coupled with Du Zigong's personal speech, the topic began to turn to the cultivation skills, the taking of Wushi San, the refining of pills, and various immortal legends like Zixu Yuanjun, which were the most exciting points for the participants.

Unlike these people who attended the party, Du Zigong's disciples, who were constantly running errands to deal with food and tea, and who were also responsible for reception, were a little miserable, that is, it was better to deal with the fatigue of this group of people when they went to the village to be a traveling doctor on weekdays, and it was very difficult to understand the words mixed with various local dialects.

"Where is Jingyuan?" A man in a Taoist robe, but with a big grin and an uninhibited personality, asked.

There was a small Taoist in front of him, who was receiving guests who were still rushing over, and a tall man suddenly appeared in front of him, startled, and wanted to scold him, but when he saw this person's appearance, the words came to his lips, but he temporarily changed them to exclaim: "Pu...... Puxiang Zhenren, my senior brother is in the side hall and is receiving guests. ”

"Guest?" The Taoist priest who was called Puxiang Zhenren frowned, "But the guest who will come?" ”

"Seems like so." The little Taoist was a little nervous in the face of Puxiang Zhenren, as if this person exuded an aura that frightened him.

"I'll go see ......"

"Hey......" The little Taoist stretched out his hand in vain in the direction where Puxiang Zhenren was going, as if he wanted to hold it, but he cowered and didn't dare to move, and after his back disappeared, he whispered, "Senior brother said not to disturb people." ”

But those who are called Puxiang Zhenren obviously won't hear it, and with their character, they won't care if they hear it.

He followed the direction indicated by the Taoist, and saw a side hall in this house, which was very quiet, and the noise outside was clearly distinguished, and before he walked in, he had already heard the conversation inside, he was not polite, coughed twice loudly, signaled that he was coming, and did not wait for the people inside to agree, and pushed the door directly.

……

Sun Tai is a speculator.

Whether it is worshipping Du Zigong as a teacher, with the help of this identity, he will make friends with talents all over the world; Or secretly contact with all strata and reach some kind of deal through the exchange of some interests. On the one hand, he is upright and praised, on the other hand, he is insidious and cunning, and he is feared, but he does not care, because the education he received since childhood told him that speculation can get greater returns.

Everything he has done so far is taken for granted in his opinion, and the world is like this, for example, the Langya Wang family, before Yongjia crossed to the south, was almost the same as the Langya Sun family, but after going south, he seized the opportunity and became the most powerful family, and the Sun family has now become a low-class clan, whether it is family property or power, even some poor families are not as good as ...... Obviously, the original Langya Sun family did not expect the rise of the original Langya King, otherwise, the now prominent family may not be the Wang family, but the Sun family.

The family is the core product of this era, and so is Sun Tai, everything he does is for the family, although he is a little hostile to the Wang family in his heart, he can still follow his teacher Du Zigong to see Wang Xizhi, and he can also learn from the original Wang Dao, make friends with the world, regardless of whether the high or the low are treated equally, everything is to improve the family's rank.

"Although I don't need to do it myself, what you have to deal with is the Wang family, and if there are not enough benefits, I will definitely not get involved." Sun Tai stared at the person in front of him tightly, but he was a big man, and he needed to be cautious in everything he said and did, "Do you want to come to the county guard to let me be a thug for you, and be decisively abandoned after I finish it?" ”

"What Jing Yuan said is wrong, no matter how much I don't have long eyes, I won't cause you trouble, the benefits are naturally there, and I understand your needs, I can swear by my family and help you afterwards." Opposite Sun Tai was a middle-aged man, it was Xu Shen who Wang Ningzhi saw that day, and now he came to have a private meeting with Sun Tai under the guise of a believer.

"There is no basis for words, I need to be more practical." Sun Tai pointed to the north, "You know that group of people are all people who don't let go of their interests without seeing their interests, and if you want to use their strength, you always need to release something from Lord Gunden that is enough to make them excited." ”

"Is this okay?" Xu Shen fell asleep and drew a shape on the table.

It is long, sharp and can hurt people.

Sun Tai took a breath of cold air, raised his head again, his face was a little surprised, but he didn't ask deeply, just sighed: "Lord County Shou is so generous, now it seems that Wang Shuping is just an excuse, this idea of the adult, I'm afraid it has risen very early, right?" ”

"...... each other"

As the two were talking, there was a coughing sound outside, and soon the door slammed, and a tall Taoist walked in, nodded at them, ignored the anger on their faces, sat straight on the mat, picked up an empty bowl and poured wine, drank it all, and scolded: "Sun Jingyuan, you are not a thing, ask me to come and say that there is something important to discuss, this is good, I came but was put aside by you...... Who is this, you really don't give face to this real person? ”

"Don't be angry." Sun Tai hurriedly persuaded and said some good words to comfort this Puxiang, and then introduced Xu Shen to him, "This is the county guard of Huiji County, Xu Shen, the Yixing Xu family, I asked someone to invite a real person to come over, in fact, I am just a middleman, and the one who really wants to discuss with the real person is the county guard." ”

"Oh?" Puxiang Zhenren glanced at Xu Shen, squinted his eyes and made a contemplative expression, and said after a while, "I said which Xu family, it turned out to be the Xu family who had been friends with the Yixing Zhou family, but it can also intersect, say, what is the matter with me?" You always know who I am, right? ”

"It's nature." Xu Shen nodded, at first he was a little angry because he was suddenly disturbed by this Taoist, but after knowing the identity of the other party, his anger immediately disappeared, especially when he saw the other party's character, which made him even more satisfied, but he was still a little embarrassed, he looked at Sun Tai, "Jingyuan, is only Puxiang Zhenren coming?" ”

"Puxiang Zhenren's identity is unique, don't worry, the relationship with those homeless handsome, one real person is better than three me, as long as the conditions you give are satisfactory to the real person, there will naturally be a real person over there to persuade you...... Of course, as an absolute bystander, I still have to remind you that the county keeper must think twice and think twice when doing things, and if you make a wrong step, the consequences will be self-evident. ”

Xu Shen nodded cautiously: "This is nature. ”

……

What Xu Shen and Puxiang Zhenren wanted to talk about, Sun Tai couldn't listen to it anymore, so he left on the pretext of going out to receive guests.

At this time, it was close to noon, and all those who should have come had arrived, Du Zigong was feasting, and after seeing him, he beckoned to him and signaled him to come...... Du Zigong is approaching his twilight years, but his body bones are still strong, his eyebrows and hair are still black, he is wearing a loose robe, and he has a fairy style.

Because of this, the guests at this banquet were not only entertained by the upper class scholars, but also by the lower class of homeless people and commoners, and in addition, their beliefs were also slightly different: the Shangqing faction, which has been in the limelight in recent years, the old Taoist who is still stubborn and conservative and unwilling to change their dogma, and the Qixiaguan faction, which has recently changed its doctrine.

Although there is a purpose to worship Du Zigong as a teacher, Sun Tai is indeed a smart person and has a profound Taoism, which is deeply loved by Du Zigong. After being recruited again, he was introduced to the people present, and his words revealed respect, obviously, this was laying the foundation for Sun Tai. For this old man, Sun Tai's senses are quite complicated, but it can be confirmed that respect is absolute, and he is also very familiar at the moment, walking around with the teacher, and communicating with the guests, often getting praise every time he passes.

After each seat was passed, Du Zigong let him go, and then it was time to explain the Dao, and Sun Tai naturally could not participate.

He honestly walked to his team and sat down among a group of Taoists.

He was a little hungry and talked to the person next to him while making up for it.

"A few days ago. Where are the people you are talking about? ”

"Over there." The little Taoist pointed to some of the seats on the side, and when he looked over, it was a group of many teenagers mixed in.

Although he had doubts in his heart, Sun Tai didn't show it, and after looking at it for a while, he said, "They are all people from Qixiaguan? That group of teenagers is the rumored homeless people related to Wang Ningzhi, the son of Wang Xizhi? ”

"It's them, but not all of them are people from Qixiaguan, and some of them are civilians and Hanshi who are affected by them, they spread very quickly, and the number of believers grows very fast, I went to Qixia Mountain a few days ago, and I met a group of people including that black and thin boy, just thinking that senior brother, you don't allow me to wait outside to make enemies with others, so I only learned some teachings from them, and then I found that the teachings of Qixiaguan have changed unconsciously."

"What's changed?"

"Natural selection, survival of the fittest."

Sun Tai's eyes rolled, and then fixed on the thin black boy:

"It's Wang Ningzhi's 'evolutionary theory'......"
