Chapter 75: Another Twist and Turn
Seeing Hai Lao squinting at himself, Zhang Wen was as if he was naked, naked in front of his eyes, maybe his only advantage was uncompromising, if he gave it all out, it would be tantamount to betraying his brotherhood, he never understood why Mei Tian wanted to protect their identities so mysteriously, since there was a gentleman's agreement, Zhang Wen didn't want to be corrupted on himself, so he was no longer polite, and said: "Mr. Hai, I have always respected your old man, but if Mr. is not to promote development, the younger generations will not do more to accompany them, and they will speak first, I only know this master as an old acquaintance, whether you believe it or not, I just advise not to bother, he is not a good face. ”
Hai Lao seemed to be smiling, he didn't listen to the other party's words at all, he only thought that this was a sign of youth and vigor, so he said: "That's what I'm looking for, if Mr. Zhang is willing to provide more details, your ideal will definitely be achieved, and the old man will never break his word." ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Wen fell into the hesitation of choice, both of which are important to him, one is to lose his personality and integrity, and the other is to discard his ideals, it seems that every understanding will encounter a fork. He touched the button of the elevator with a trembling hand, and he didn't even dare to make a sound, and in his heart he chose to agree to Hai Lao's request, but the stubbornness of his body made him refuse.
Hai Lao nodded, still showing an unpredictable expression, maybe this was a manifestation of his dissatisfaction, leaving him with a word: "The old man is not in a hurry, but Mr. Zhang's choice is irrational, when he waits for a few days, if Mr. Zhang still insists on this, the old man will visit by himself." ”
After Hai Lao left, it was difficult for Zhang Wen not to take his words to heart, in fact, he already had the answer in his heart, and he didn't know how serious it was to Mei Tian, but if he didn't get Hai Lao's support, the price he would get would be far beyond his imagination.
In the night of the same day, after thinking about it again, Zhang Wen still went to find Hai Lao, and told about the relationship with Mei Tian in the past, he neither followed the Tao nor offered to the Buddha, his eyes could distinguish yin and yang, and he would not be evil when he stepped on, but more about his identity is unknown.
Hearing Zhang Wen's introduction, Hai Lao also frowned, he had heard a lot of secret talks about this aspect, that is, several masters who could understand yin and yang, even if it was just a feng shui gentleman, he had a source, unless the one in Zhang Wen's mouth stood on his own and had an alternative way of cultivation.
Talking for a long night can not come to a conclusion, but if what Zhang Wen said is true, it is in line with his own goals, since entering this river city, it can be seen from the wind of the earth, this place will lead to a change in the heavens, at first he thought that Zhang Wen would guide the local wind, but so it seems that this is not the case, maybe it will be a miserable situation of miserable life, but maybe it is the trend of renewal of Vientiane, it is beyond the heavenly machine that he has learned, I didn't expect that I was dying in the last years of the wind and candles, but I can see such a big event, it is worth a lifetime. He can't figure out what happened, but fortunately, he discovered the mystery here earlier than anyone else, and asked how many strange people in the world there are, how many can be lucky, but he is the first person, and the Shantai clan will definitely be famous all over the world because of this time in the future.
Thinking of this, he was excited to find a few friends to boast about what he had seen, for fear that someone would seize the opportunity and make him the first person to know the mystery.
The momentary joy made him ignore a lot, and when the excitement faded, he thought of the current situation in Jiangcheng, and realized that he was not the first person to know, someone had already discovered the mystery here, and so many outsiders would be gathered to confuse the public, that person discovered this place a few years earlier than himself, and had a plan, thinking of this, Hai Lao was uneasy, he concluded that Mei Tian was the person he was looking for, he wanted to approach him one step earlier, and spare no effort to prove that their Tantai clan was the strategist of the thousand years.
After that night, Hai Lao has been looking through the history of Jiangcheng, for him God has not left much time for him, he has to show his talents one last time before he closes his eyes, so that future generations will know that their status as a clan is unshakable.
Zhang Wen asked people to dig the place marked before, but Mr. Hai never spoke to him easily, but supported Zhang Wen to dig. If you want to change this geographical situation, you have to dig out a reason, changing the three is equivalent to changing Zhang Wen's life, and achieving Zhang Wen is equivalent to changing his life against the sky, Hai Lao doesn't want to cause trouble, so he doesn't say a word, and waits for Mei Tian to appear.
After digging for three days, there was a depth of forty or fifty meters, and I was surprised to find that there was a hole in the ground that could accommodate a person high, winding and rugged until the river, fortunately, the head of the hole was sealed, and the river did not roll in, and there was nothing else in the cave, denying the possibility of hiding or tomb, but who dug such a long hole in the ground, and it boiled for a while, and they all thought that they had dug up some valuable treasures.
What disappointed them was that they walked through the entire cave and did not find a valuable artifact, and could not explain the reason, Zhang Wen only asked Hai Lao to solve his doubts, Hai Lao left three steps and right seven steps in the ground insight to see, also denied that this is an artificially built hole, since it is not a person, why there is such a continuous hole here, it is difficult to be insects, beasts, rats and ants, but this hole can accommodate a person, at least there must be insects, beasts, rats and ants as tall as a person. The only thing that everyone thought of was that this was the place where the dragon lived, and it was once here.
This explanation is reasonable, the one who can inhabit the hole will definitely be a long-bodied and soft creature, and it must be able to make a hole, but the possibility of a dragon can be ruled out, the dragon will not burrow, let alone hide itself in the dark underground, the long-legged centipede will not make such a smooth burrow, then the biggest possibility is the snake, a snake with a wide body and a fine body, he uses this place to hide to avoid the catastrophe, the reason why there is no sign of the leyline here is this, all absorbed by the big snake to help it feather.
Hai Lao denied this hypothesis, if it is really a snake and insect with a little cultivation, he will definitely abide by the cycle of heavenly principles, if it is not raised by the essence of heaven and earth, it must be a demon, relying on the spirit of the earth's leylines is detrimental to the earth's roots, and it violates the way of heaven, which is enough to show that this unknown creature is by no means a good kind, if it is not forced to do so, it will not let itself fall here and rely on absorbing the spirit of the earth's leylines to survive.
Recently, looking through the history of Jiangcheng, Hai Lao linked this matter to a rumor, saying that there was a demon eel in Jiangcheng that made waves for the people of Jiangcheng, and was suppressed by the heavenly people under the river, the eel tail was suppressed in the Zhongjiang Tower, the eel head was locked in the Tianmen pillar, and the Tianmen and Zhongjiang were hundreds of miles apart, so no one believed this rumor, and there are still people who use it to scare children, but the legend can not be fully believed, nor can it be believed, if the two are linked, the rumor is at least credible, that is, Jiangcheng used to have a giant eel active, The Underground Cave is its masterpiece.
In fact, Hai Lao said that this story is just to help Zhang Wen achieve great things with more fantasy colors, and he doesn't believe in the rumors of demon eels, there are many good men and women in the world, rather than making them believe in the greatness of a person in the world, it is better to write stories to make them believe in the beauty of the mythical world, how many big people have achieved things from ancient times to the present, and there are not many miracles from the sky, so that people can be more convincing.
Zhang Wen filled the hole in the ground, which is equivalent to seeking benefits for Jiangcheng, and the land of tranquility in the future, the rumors of poor feng shui here have disappeared, and the more sensational this matter is, the higher Zhang Wen's focus will be, and even some people have begun to talk to him about developing other projects, just because there is one more story here.
Taking advantage of this rising tide, Zhang Wen gathered all the people who gathered to stir up trouble, most of them were people from two gangs, raised their arms and threatened to dismiss the foreign population, as for the reason is because of their insatiable greed, they disappointed themselves, not only did they have no job, they didn't even want to get a dime, but also planned a blueprint for the future, they were particularly remorseful, afraid of missing the opportunity, and obeyed Zhang Wen's orders, in the face of the interests driven, they were afraid, and they all understood that they were not satisfied with a full meal. Now they don't have any skills, if Zhang Wen is unhappy, he decides to dismiss them, and they can't be arrogant anywhere if they have no place to stay.
After the previous incident, Zhang Wen, who suffered a loss, understood a truth, that is, you can't feed them too much, so that some people are good, and after becoming a comparison, the other part of the people may feel that there is still hope, and those who disobey themselves will rush away. Maybe he was too young before, but from now on he won't make this kind of human mistake again.
As for the locals of Jiangcheng, he understands better that if he wants to succeed, this group of people may be the key to people and disadvantage.
