Chapter XXVIII
After a few months of contact, it has long been enough for Guo Lao to check the three generations of Liu Shang's ancestors, Liu Shang's master and apprentice are all clear about what they are doing within a radius of 100 miles, and they also understand what Liu Shang needs, so every word he says is meaningful, so that you can understand it as soon as you hear it, and you won't feel pretending to be profound.
"Guo Lao is right, the master handed over this place to me, it is true that I can't make him glorious now, but I am an ordinary Taoist priest, guarding this acre and three points of land, what can I do, there are Taoist priests who went down the mountain in ancient times and complained about the troubled times, but now Lang Lang Qiankun is peaceful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, even if the poor Taoist has a heart, it is powerless." Liu Sheng understood and understood what Guo Lao meant, but he still didn't want to completely step into the world, so he said it very tactfully.
But what kind of person is Guo Lao, that is the founding father, ordinary people can grow old and become fine, he is not an ordinary old man, how could he be sent away by Liu Shang, a young man, yes, Liu Shang is not a teenager in the eyes of Guo Lao!
Even if you have the ability to reach the sky, after all, where is your age, no matter how sophisticated you are, you also look a little immature, the old guy laughed in his heart, and he who untied the knot in his heart was different.
"The Taoist chief is not busy refusing first, please listen to the old man finish speaking, the old man does not want the Taoist to go down the mountain, but, the old man can promise the Taoist chief, and after that, this Taoist temple incense will be prosperous forever, but the Taoist chief needs to help when the country needs it, of course, if the Taoist chief agrees or not, the old man will also let the incense here flourish, but the personal ability is always limited, and the old man also feels that the limit is coming, alas, if it is changed to a country, it will be different, you say yes, the Taoist chief." Guo Lao is tempting, self-deprecating, and has a hint of danger.
Liu Shang's eyes narrowed, and his eyes were not good at looking at Guo Lao, he didn't like people to threaten, even if it was just the slightest breath, he was also very annoying, and he couldn't imagine that the kind old man who was grateful before, turned his face and gave birth to such a thought.
"Have you thought about the consequences of threatening me?" Liu Shang's voice froze.
No one would have thought that such a thing would happen in an instant, the atmosphere is not right.
Today, Guo Lao is going back to Beijing, and the bodyguards naturally follow him, looking at the little Taoist priest with a deep anger, in their eyes, the little Taoist priest is very dangerous, this is from the intuition of the soldiers.
Guo Lao also looked at Liu Sheng calmly, the old and the young looked at each other like this, the bodyguards faintly surrounded him, Liu Sheng was also surrounded by Xiao Zi and a few of them, as well as the money leopard demon who was hiding in the shadows, ready to pounce down at any time.
There is a tendency to start doing it if you don't agree with it, and it is about to break out.
Guo Lao looked at each other without showing weakness, Dayou, boy, if you have the courage, move my old man.
Liu Shang's eyes were cold, and his eyes became more and more eager to try, and the little monsters were just waiting for an order to fly up, so they didn't care about it.
The bodyguards' hands were already on their waists, and the atmosphere was tense.
Alas.
A helpless sigh sounded in the hearts of Liu Sheng and Guo Lao, are you going to turn your face?
Liu Shang took the initiative to compromise, he changed his eyes to a smile and said: Guo Lao really embarrassed me, okay, I promised you, but, such a thing, it is better not to have a good next time, you say. Although he has a straightforward personality, he is not stupid, some people can be offended, that is because he does not have to bear the consequences, and Guo Lao, he can't afford to offend, unless he can give up everything now, but obviously, he can't.
So he chose to accept the invitation of the powerful, there is nothing wrong with it, why bother not to get along with himself, angry, yes, fortunately, there is, but he can clearly understand his own shortcomings, and turn his face to accept all this, it can be seen that Liu Sheng is not stupid at all.
Guo Lao is worried, of course, he is more worried than Liu Shang, he doesn't know the consequences of the little Taoist priest in front of him after listening to him say these words, after all, his son is still in the hands of others, but he has to say this, after all, he is the founding father of the country first, and then the father of a child.
After seeing Liu Shang's miracle, he was even more worried that if this person broke away from the control of the state and had no shackles in his heart, how terrible it would be, it would be a disaster, and all those who were not under the control of the state would be a threat.
So as soon as he gritted his teeth, he said this, but he really didn't mean to threaten others, but just said a powerful relationship, so that Liu Sheng understood that some general trends were irreversible.
Now this result is something he didn't expect, the little Taoist priest in front of him actually accepted everything like this, that's really good.
Whew, everyone breathed a deep sigh of relief.
"What the Taoist chief said is that the old man promised that there would be no next time, so it's decided, Taoist chief, farewell." Guo Lao took a deep look at Liu Shang, and nodded secretly in his heart, this kid can bend and stretch, if he is in politics, he is a good hand, it's a pity.
Daomen has liked to rely on imperial power since ancient times, there is the Song Dynasty, and there is even a Daojun Emperor Zhao Ji, as well as the alchemy emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, and the Xiuxian Emperor Wanli, which shows that the intricacies of Daomen are powerful, but those people are either liars, or the court of scourge collapses, and in the end there is no good end.
In Liu Xiang's view, these people all deserve it, they don't have the ability to forget it, and they also cause the Daomen to be said to be deceiving gods and deceiving ghosts, especially the practice of Neidan is very popular, and it is even more so that the people of the Daomen, each of them close the mountain gate, gradually less than the present world, so Lun is also inferior to the foreign sect of Allah, Catholicism, let alone Buddhism.
But now, Liu Shang has an opportunity, a person who has entered the world again, let people know the Daomen, understand the Daomen, and they are not all scum who deceive gods and ghosts.
"You want to use worldly rights to make me have scruples, but you underestimate me, how do you know, I don't want to borrow your strength, hehe." Liu Shang looked at the figure of Guo Lao's group of people in the distance, and muttered to himself lightly.
If the ontology is again, it may be a different way to deal with it, but he is distracted, to put it bluntly, it is the other side of Liu Shang, there is Liu Shang's straightforward burst, and there is also Liu Shang's ambition that has not been discovered in his heart.
"Oh, I listened to the old guy talk for a long time, and I forgot about the business, the Lord of Benguan helped him so much, saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, and he hasn't repaid me yet." Liu Sheng wailed and screamed miserably.
scared the little demons who had been behind him.
"Lord, do you want to catch up?" The simple Ah Huang, the urn said angrily.
Liu Shang hit him on the head with a whisk of dust with his backhand, and asked in a righteous and stern manner: Shut up, is the Lord of Benguan a person who asks for retribution? Hmph, next time you dare to talk nonsense, see that the Lord of Benguan doesn't clean you up, and punish you for not having to eat today.
Ah Huang was not annoyed when he was beaten to the dust, he still smirked innocently, seeing him like this, Liu Shang was angry, and simply turned around and stopped looking at the foolish, and hated him when he saw him.
I don't want to think about himself just wailing and asking others to reciprocate, the typical only allows himself to say strange things, and does not allow the little demons to learn, so unreasonable, fortunately, the little monsters have become accustomed to the strange temper of the watcher, roll their eyes at each other, and it's okay, what should I do.
Liu Shang may think that people have forgotten, but Guo Lao, the old and sophisticated founding father, how can he forget this rare opportunity, even if Liu Shang doesn't want it, he will try his best to let Liu Shang have a relationship with him, or a relationship with the country, so that it is convenient to be involved.
Guo Lao stepped down the mountain in front of him, and on his back feet, a large group of people came up the mountain, including the engineering team of the Electric Power Bureau, the designers of the design institute, architects and construction workers, the Planning Office of the Land and Resources Bureau, and a large number of officials from all over the county.
"Daochang Liu, oops, you forgot to introduce yourself, I am Guo Lao's secretary Wen Bin, these people are Guo Lao's orders to come and build a Taoist palace for you, Guo Lao said, this time I will ask the Taoist to go down the mountain to live, the city has arranged a better cultivation place for the Taoist chief, and when the Taoist Palace is completed, I am afraid it will take some days." The person who came, Si Swenwen, did look polite, and asked Liu Shang to go down the mountain with him.
Without waiting for Liu Shang, who looked confused, to react, he was already pulled by Wen Bin and walked outside the Taoist temple.
Wen Bin waved his hand and went in here to measure, and the people who observed the comparison appeared in the view.
If ordinary people want to demolish a house or something, even if it is on the mountain, it is also here to go through the procedures, where to plan and distribute, all kinds of miscellaneous expenses, run relationships, and finally I don't know if it can be done.
Guo Lao just said a word, everything was done in the fastest and most efficient way, this is the first gift that Guo Lao reciprocated.
"Daoist Liu doesn't have to doubt, just leave it to them, they are professional, I promise to return you a big and brand-new Dao Palace." Wen Bin said with a smile.
He was summoned from Beijing by Guo Lao in a hurry, and everything had been explained on the way, and several of Guo Lao's sons and daughters also knew that this little Taoist priest had solved their old man's heart knot, although the old man kept saying that he had met a strange person, but they didn't care if the strange person was not a strange person, as long as the old man was happy, he waved his hand and let Wen Bin deal with everything, and asked the old man to come back and preside over the overall situation.
Liu Sheng looked at the busy group of people dumbfounded, a little at a loss for a while, he thought that Guo Lao had forgotten, it turned out that everything was ready, he suddenly remembered something, and said: The copper incense burner in the courtyard is a sacrificial vessel left by the poor Taoist master, don't move the direction, be careful.
Wen Bin hurriedly ordered: Did you hear it, don't touch the incense burner in the courtyard, take care of it.
After speaking, he turned his head to look at Liu Sheng again and asked, "But is there anything else to pay attention to?"
Liu Shang thought about it, as if there was no one, so he shook his head.
"Thank you Guo Lao, it's so polite, ah, it's so polite, haha."
This thing only now remembers to thank people, but the face is beautiful, how to look at how insincere, as if all this is as it should be, but it is really big.
