Chapter 176: There Were Rivers and Lakes
Jing Bai handed the check to Wen Shuo and said calmly: "I thought that if I could save it, I would save it, because the investment has been too large recently, so the funds on hand are not very rich." β
"So you're not stupid. Wen Shuo took the check and looked at it carefully.
"Don't worry, I borrowed it from Guo Shenghua in the morning. Jing Bai sighed softly, and he didn't know how many times he had sighed today - every time he sighed in the past, most of them were pretending, just to reflect his compassion and helplessness, but every time he sighed today, he was really sighing and sighing helplessly.
"Guo Shenghua?" Wen Shuo was slightly surprised, took out a book from his shoulder bag, and carefully clipped the check into it and put it away.
"Now, you can remove the magic circle in Yiqiang's body, right?" Jing Bai said.
"No, I don't. Wen Shuo said with a big grin: "At most, in a week, the magic circle will naturally be lifted, so I don't have to work hard to set up the altar again, right? β
"You ......" Jing Bai was speechless.
Xing Yiqiang was even more angry - no one could bear it, and his life was in the hands of others. Even if it is, the other party promises not to go back on its word, even if it is, the magic circle will be lifted naturally in a week.
But Xing Yiqiang didn't dare to refute anything, for fear of angering this hateful, dangerous, and neurotic fat man.
"Yiqiang, you go back first. Jing Bai said suddenly.
"Oh. Xing Yiqiang responded, although he looked puzzled, he didn't dare to ask, and turned to leave.
"Wen Shuo. Jing Bai called Wen Shuo, who was about to leave, and smiled: "It's noon now, if it's convenient, can we have a meal together?"
"What are you doing?" Wen Shuo said vigilantly.
Jing Bai smiled and shook his head, "I don't mean anything else, I just want to...... Let's talk to you and make friends. β
"Friends?" Wen Shuo pouted and said, "It's good if we don't have a grudge between us, and we ...... friends."
"We are different from ordinary people. Jing Bai said very seriously.
Wen Shuo frowned slightly, hesitated, sat back on the stone, and said, "It's free to eat, you just said that the funds on hand are not abundant, so if you can save it, you can save it." If you have anything to say, just say it here. β
Jing Bai nodded, and said disapprehantly: "I take the liberty of asking, can you tell me about your teacher?"
"No, you can't. Wen Shuo replied very dryly.
"Hmm, I'm sorry. Jing Bai was not angry, and asked again, "How many Xuanshi did you come into contact with before you came into contact with me and Yiqiang?"
Wen Shuo was stunned for a moment, and said honestly: "Except for the old ...... My Master, no one else. β
"Yes, there are too few Xuanshi who really practice the Xuanfa. Jing Bai sighed lightly, stood with his hands in his hands, and looked at the lake with a somewhat vicissitudes of lifeβwhen the spring breeze was not harmonious, whistling wantonly, blowing up layers of waves on the lake, and the weeping willow branches by the lake danced wildly.
The fat man looked up and down at this master who looked worried about the country and the people, and felt angry and jealous, this is too much!
With such an image, it is enough to deceive people.
So the fat man thought very badly in his heart: "Sigh a fart, the streets are full of real mysteries, is it your turn to make easy money?" As the so-called scarcity is expensive, I don't understand such a simple truth, and I still pose in front of Lao Tzu!"
Jing Bai pretended for a long time, and found that Wen Shuo didn't ask him, and he couldn't help but feel embarrassed in his heart, but his face still maintained the vicissitudes of worrying about the country and the people, and took the initiative to say: "In fact, a long time ago, there were many Xuanshi. β
"Oh. Wen Shuo replied nonchalantly, purely out of politeness.
Jing Bai was embarrassed again, and said, "Do you know why there are so few now?"
"I don't know. Wen Shuo said honestly.
Jing Bai choked for a moment, let out a sigh of relief, and said: "Since the beginning of human civilization, in the long history of thousands of years of Chinese history, the rise and fall of metaphysics are often closely related to the change of dynasties. As the saying goes, 'when the troubled times arise and metaphysics declines, the prosperous era opens peacefully, and metaphysics gradually revives.' You and I are fortunate to be born in the era of Tai Min'an, the prosperity of the country is coming, and metaphysics will be revived. β
"Oh. Wen Shuo replied again, thinking about the revival of metaphysics, does it have anything to do with me?
Jing Bai felt that his scalp was a little numb, his patience decreased, and his anger rushed to the top of his head, he turned his head and frowned to reveal an angry expression, glaring at the fat man with an innocent and indifferent face, gritted his teeth and roared: "Wen Shuo, as a Xuanfa cultivator, as the inheritor of your own sect's Xuanfa, you must be responsible!"
"Hey, hey, what are you doing fiercely, you want to bite someone?" Wen Shuo glared, rolled up his sleeves and stood up and said angrily: "Be careful like this, I'll beat you again!"
"You ......" Jing Bai was speechless.
He found himself playing the harp to a cow just now, no, talking about vegetarianism to a fierce polar bear!
Seeing Jing Bai's stunned expression, Wen Shuo snorted softly with his face tilted back like a thug who had gained the upper hand in a street provocation, and sat back on the stone quite satisfied-this appearance made Jing Bai can't help but feel contempt and contempt, but he had to be vigilant and jealous - because often this kind of thug is the most unscrupulous and reckless, coupled with the sharp teeth and words that Wen Shuo showed before, full of reason......
This person, don't you want to threaten him with any so-called revenge.
Because he doesn't know what fear is, and if you take revenge on him, he will retaliate against you more fiercely.
The so-called young and vigorous, the so-called newborn calf......
Just when Jing Bai was depressed and didn't know what to do, Wen Shuo said: "Do I have the sense of responsibility to inherit the Xuanfa, it is not your turn to be angry in front of me. Okay, if you want to talk to me about the history and past of metaphysics, I'm also interested in listening to it, and if you want to do anything about forming a faction, then let's not talk about it. β
The second half of this sentence made Jing Bai immediately change his perception of Wen Shuo just now, and couldn't help but smile: "It seems that you still understand my words." β
"Nonsense, are you stupid to me?" Wen Shuo snorted.
"It has been more than 100 years since metaphysics withered and declined. Jing Bai's expression was hung on the vicissitudes of life again, and he sighed: "This period is too long, and there have been too many wars and turmoil during the period, and the changes of powerful forces, God knows how many metaphysical sects have broken off their inheritance during this period." Since the reform and opening up, I have traveled all over the country, painstakingly seeking people with excellent cultivation qualifications to be accepted as apprentices, also so that I can meet more people in the same way...... It's a pity that to this day, you are the sixth metaphysical practitioner I have ever met. β
"So little?" Wen Shuo couldn't help but be surprised, then frowned and shook his head, and said, "Not everyone is as publicistic as you, everyone is still willing to keep a low profile to avoid trouble." Well, there's no way around it. β
Jing Bai nodded and said, "The times are different, I can understand and think of it, but in such a large base of people, only six people have been encountered in twenty years, which is enough to show that the number of Xuanshi is too small." Do you know? In the history of a hundred years ago, during the heyday of metaphysics, the rivers and lakes prospered, and there were many capable people, and there were even true immortals who rose in the day and turned into a rainbow and rode the dragon......
Looking at Jing Bai's expression of yearning and emotion, the fat man was not moved by his words at all, because he felt that these words were too nonsense.
Xuanmen Jianghu?
Are there many sects?
Still a gathering of mysteries?
This, I can barely make do with it.
But the true immortals who flew up in the day and turned into a rainbow and rode away on the dragon are too outrageous - although last year when he knew that the mystic law was true, Wen Shuo had also imagined many times that one day he could lift the sun and soar to become a legendary immortal, and he also hoped to find a treasure book of cultivation in archaeology, but then he thought carefully that a legend is a legend after all, and a myth is a myth, nothing more than some extraordinary abilities shown by later generations according to metaphysics, and then fictional and exaggerated. Otherwise, why did so many powerful True Immortals and Holy Buddhas in history never go down to the earth to save the suffering and save all sentient beings in any period of greatest crisis?
As for the fiction of the Three Realms that are estranged and cannot interact with each other, it is even more implausible.
One says that the gods and Buddhas are full of great compassion, the second is that the immortals go down to the earth to save the suffering, and the third says that the underworld sends people to ask for their lives, and the wicked go down to the eighteen layers of hell to be punished...... Lin Lin himself has already contradicted each other to the extreme.
As for the Xuanmen rivers and lakes, they are all old yellow calendars.
In this world, dare to become a climate and immediately destroy your group of scum who will only poke their heads out in the prosperous times to enjoy and quickly stop in the troubled times.
Thinking of this, Wen Shuo couldn't help but be deeply proud of his wisdom and awareness of Xuanshi's weaknesses, he squinted at Jing Bai and asked, "How many apprentices do you have?"
"Three. β
"How old is Xing Yiqiang?"
"Boss. β
Wen Shuo gave a thumbs up and boasted: "Awesome! Then you will definitely become a generation of grandmasters in the future, with a group of disciples under your command, and then establish the largest sect in the Xuanmen rivers and lakes." β
"It's my little goal in life. Jing Bai nodded, as if he couldn't hear the disdain in Wen Shuo's words, and said seriously: "The biggest goal is to work hard for the revival of the Xuanmen rivers and lakes, and strive to see the prosperity of the rivers and lakes in my lifetime." β
"Oh, admiration, admiration, there will really be a day in the future, and I hope to take care of it. Wen Shuo got up and said, "I have to hurry up and eat, there are classes in the afternoon." β
"Wenshuo ......"
"Huh?"
"In the future, contact ...... more" Jing Bai took out a business card and handed it over.
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person with a smile, so although Wen Shuo was vigilant and didn't dare to be interested in Jing Bai's words, after a little hesitation, he still took Jing Bai's business card and said, "One thing to say, I still hope that we will have less contact in the future." β
Jing Bai smiled and said, "I believe that you will take the initiative to contact me." β
"Goodbye. Wen Shuo waved his hand and turned to leave.
