Chapter 116: Gains and Losses (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival)
After the meal was full, Mu Xuanji said: "Good apprentice, hurry up and clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and then go to the gate to wait, someone will come in a while, you take him in, and then serve tea." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Really?" Wangji has been with his master for ten years, and although he knows that his master is a cultivator who is proficient in the number of heavenly machines, he has not seen him make a move, and he only occasionally fools some rich people, so he is a little skeptical when he listens to his master's words.
As for himself, although he also practiced qi and had profound skills, he had never touched anyone after all, so he didn't know what his strength was.
"Being a teacher won't lie to you. Just go as fast as you can. ”
Seeing that the master had returned to the quiet room, he came to the gate of the temple and waited for a while, and sure enough, a middle-aged man with a majestic face came to the gate of the view.
Mu Xuanji was very famous in the eyes of the high-level leaders of Black Cloud City, of course, his apprentice Fang Cheng also knew him, so he hugged his fists and said: "This little brother is a disciple of Xuanji Daoist?" ”
Seeing that although the other party was majestic, his tone was kind, and he replied honestly: "Xiaodao is Wangji, I don't know who the donor is?" ”
Fang Cheng smiled slightly and said: "In Xiacheng Guard, Commander, Fang Cheng, please also let the little friend of the forgotten machine pass it on, and I want to meet the Xuanji seniors if I have something to do." ”
Although he knew that the other party was likely to be a big man, he was still taken aback when he heard that he had forgotten his home, no one in Black Cloud City knew the Fang family, and the Fang family was almost the emperor of the earth here, but the head of the Fang family's family in front of him actually came to his own dilapidated small Taoist temple, and the words were extremely respectful, which made him feel fluttering. However, he did not forget the master's instructions, bowed slightly and saluted: "The family master once said that there are distinguished guests coming to the door today, so I specially asked the disciples to come and wait, and I also asked the adults to come in with me." ”
Fang Cheng's heart moved, he saw that this forgetting machine was not lying, he was quite surprised that Mu Xuanji was able to predict his arrival, but thinking that the other party was a person who could even calculate the whereabouts of Zhenshan Ling, the surprise in his heart dissipated and turned into a matter of course.
Walking into the Guanzhong, looking at the dilapidated scene around him, Fang Cheng frowned, he didn't expect this master to live in such a dilapidated place.
sighed in his heart: "A master is indeed a master." ”
At the same time, his confidence in Mu Xuanji has increased, but now he is a little worried about whether his chips can impress the other party.
Entering the side hall of the Taoist temple, Mu Xuanji was sitting on the futon, and when he saw Fang Cheng coming in, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the futon below him to signal him to sit down.
Fang Cheng had just sat down and hadn't spoken, Mu Xuanji said, "What you are asking for is already known, but this matter is a bit dangerous for your Fang family, and some of the participants are likely to lose their lives." Are you sure you want to do it again? ”
Fang Cheng was shocked in his heart, knowing that what Mu Xuanji said was that if he participated in the competition for the Zhenshan Order, those young talents would most likely fall, but people died for money, and birds died for food, now this great opportunity was in front of him, as long as he could obtain the Zhenshan Order, what if he sacrificed a few lives?
"Actually, I already know that you won't give up, hey!" Mu Xuanji continued: "The Zhenshan Order was made by the Zhenshan Marquis himself, and it contains the breath of the Zhenshan Marquis, which is not trivial, and it is also extremely laborious for me to calculate, although I know the whereabouts of all the Zhenshan Orders, but I can't tell you all of them, I can only tell you the whereabouts of the ten Zhenshan Orders, you know, if you know too much about the whereabouts of the Zhenshan Order, it will not be a blessing for your Fang family, but a curse." Listen, I'll just say it once. ”
After Fang Cheng left, he came to Mu Xuanji's side, just now when he sent Fang Cheng away, he asked Fang Cheng what the Zhenshan Order was, but at this time he had a lot of doubts in his heart.
"Master, this Fang family can be said to be the emperor of the soil in Black Cloud City, he wants the wind to get the wind, he wants the rain to get the rain, so he is not satisfied, but he wants to plot the mountain order, why is this?"
When Mu Xuanji heard this, he couldn't help but sigh at the simplicity of his apprentice, and explained: "This is human nature, and it is also the beginning of desire. The Fang family belongs to the first-class family of the Earth Emperor in this Black Cloud City, but after all, Black Cloud City is not his own family, and the Li family and the Wang family are not weaker than their Fang family, the Fang family has maintained the current situation, and this situation will continue to be maintained, but the Zhenshan Order appeared, and as soon as the Zhenshan Order appeared, their Fang family had to move. ”
"Master, I don't understand." Forget the machine frowned.
He wholeheartedly followed his master to practice qi, but he never thought about these twists and turns. So it's a matter of course not to understand.
"To put it simply, if the Fang family does not move, the Li family and the Wang family are moved, if the Li family and the Wang family get the Zhenshan order, then these two families can act with the help of the prestige of the Zhenshan army, and surpass the Fang family in terms of prestige, for the Fang family, although their power is still huge, and they have not lost anything, but compared to the Li family and the Wang family, they have become weaker, but this is a loss for the Fang family. So the Fang family had to move. ”
In fact, this is a very simple phenomenon, in modern terms, the objects of comparison are different, and the objects of comparison of the Fang family are the Li family and the Wang family. Although it may seem like nothing to ordinary people, this difference can only be felt by those in their position.
Suddenly forgot the opportunity, but then he said something that had been held in his heart for a long time.
"Master, you told the ten people in Fang City, I have heard of their names, but compared to the Fang family, they are still too weak, the Fang family wants to seize the Zhenshan Order, these ten people are not their opponents, they will definitely die in the hands of the Fang family, in this case, Master, how can you bear it?"
After forgetting the function of Zhenshan Ling, he had doubts about his master's approach, in his opinion, these ten young people are known as chivalrous, and they are a generation of talents, and his own master told Fang Cheng their names, which is tantamount to harming them, which makes him absolutely unacceptable.
Mu Xuanji smiled and said, "The current apprentice is really not big or small, and he dares to accuse his master." But I don't care about these things because of your pure thoughts, as for those ten people, good apprentice, what do you say will happen if I don't tell Fang Cheng? ”
"What will happen?"
Forget the machine with a blank face, in his opinion, if you don't tell, you won't tell, what can happen?
"Apprentice, you are still too young, if I don't tell Fang Cheng, do you think Fang Cheng will think that I am just a liar who does not learn and has no skills? Although there were things from thirty years ago, after all, thirty years have passed, and those things are almost impossible to verify, if I don't tell him, do you think he will kill me? Even if he doesn't dare to touch me for the time being, will he hold a grudge against me? As the saying goes, it's better to offend a gentleman than a villain, in my opinion, whether it's a gentleman or a villain, it's better not to offend, and doing this for the teacher is actually just to save your life. ”
"Can you sell someone for your life?" I forgot to hear about it, but I still couldn't agree with my master's point of view.
Mu Xuanji saw that his apprentice was so stubborn, knowing that he might not be able to inherit the mantle of his lineage, he sighed slightly, but at the same time he was very happy in his heart, his apprentice's heart was extremely pure, and although there would be hardships in his future practice, it would be fine, but it would make him extremely relieved.
"Apprentice, do you remember what I once said about what a cultivator is?"
Wangji nodded and said, "Master said that cultivators are both obedient and anti-heavenly, in order to seek good fortune and avoid evil, and live forever. ”
"That's right, we are all cultivators, we must know how to seek good fortune and avoid evil, the so-called dead friends do not die and poor do not die, but everything has a glimmer of life, good apprentice, you don't have to worry about their safety, you must know that the so-called cultivation is that you must go through many trials and tribulations to be able to achieve the supreme karmic position, how do you know that this is not God is using my hand to hone them? And the catastrophe is coming, if you don't hone and hone them, you will definitely die in the catastrophe in the future, and you just follow the trend as a teacher. ”
After thinking about it, I felt that what the master said was very reasonable, but when I heard what the master said about the training, my heart was also eager to try.
Since it's a grind, can you also go through the grind?
