Chapter 359: The Elder Admonishes the Gentleman to Hide the Weapon
On the slopes of Qingyun Mountain, the warm afternoon breeze blows through the boundless wilderness, setting off layers of wavy grass, bringing a faint fragrance.
And Changqing Zhenren stood on the hillside like this, looking at the mountains in the distance, since he had just spoken, after a long while, he said lightly:
"Lin boy, you ...... It shouldn't be a person from Lingnan, or even a person from this world, right? ”
"Oh?" Lin Chen's eyes froze, and his body was even more imperceptible, and then he neither affirmed nor denied it, but smiled casually, "Could it be that the ancestor thinks that I am an extraterritorial heavenly demon?" ”
"It is recorded in the classical Taoist books that extraterritorial heavenly demons can not only bewitch people's hearts, but also erode souls, and even forcibly possess and manipulate them." Evergreen real people can't deny it.
"Therefore, the extraterritorial heavenly demon descended into the world, and the most important thing is that such an existence, which one is not a top powerhouse, overlooking the qi refining cultivation from a high vantage point, can completely pass through ten thousand methods in one way, why do you go to such pains to collect and explore the scriptures of the martial arts?"
"And the old man observed that your god and qi are combined, and the spirit and the god are in agreement, it is obvious that it is not the extraterritorial heavenly demons who have taken the house, but I guess that you are either a person from Middle-earth outside, or, a visitor from a foreign land, who was reincarnated in Lingnan by chance, I don't know if the old man's guess is right?"
Lin Chen was silent for a moment, and instead of answering the words, he asked, "Why does the ancestor have such thoughts?" ”
"It's simple, thinking." Changqing Zhenren pointed to his head, "The face can be changed, and the behavior can be disguised, but only one person's thoughts cannot be the same no matter what, and even in daily life, every move can be reflected." ”
Then, he turned to look at Lin Chen: "If I'm not mistaken, there is a disciple named Xu Mengyun in the sect, she seems to have created a platform with you?" ”
Lin Chen instantly understood at this moment, and couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face: "The ancestor is really as wise as a torch. ”
He now vaguely understood why Evergreen Zhenren had such suspicions.
The reason is very simple, that is, the concept he revealed in the construction of the platform, the way of management and the structure of sales, etc., may not be a problem for ordinary people, but for those old foxes who have lived for a long time and seen a lot of the world, how can they not detect abnormalities?
Yes, his concept and method may not be groundbreaking for the immortal cultivation world, but it is completely different from the past, and the most important thing is that it is too relatively perfect.
From the proposal to the perfection of a new concept and management method, it is inevitable to go through a long process of exploration, and in this process, there are many loopholes that can be exploited and suppressed.
But the platform created by Lin Chen, some old foxes in the sect have long noticed, although because of Lin Chen's status as a true disciple, they dare not blatantly take it for themselves, but there are countless acts of suppression and imitation in secret.
But they were all dealt with by Xu Mengyun using a relatively mature and perfect system he gave, how could it not make people suspicious.
After all, coming up with a basic framework can also be described as a genius, but even various coping methods, emergencies can be expected, and even there are methods to suppress peers, which can be relatively perfect, which has to take time to detect and correct.
And it still takes a team to do it, and if one person can do it, eighty percent of them have problems.
"I'm only concerned about earning a sufficient amount of spirit stone resources, and this is indeed negligent." Lin Chen's face had a bitter smile on his face, "Thank you to the ancestor for helping to cover it up." ”
Although Changqing Zhenren didn't say anything, Lin Chen had already vaguely guessed that if the other party didn't help cover up, or be a backer behind his back, under the heavy sniping of the sect's interest class, I am afraid that he would not be able to get enough resources from the platform at all.
And once he fails to obtain enough resources, his Neidan method experiment will be blocked, and he will not be able to reach the late stage of foundation building.
"I'm just expressing an attitude, fortunately, you have already left the Qingyun Sect at that time, otherwise you would not have been in the swamp of human relations and interests competition, I am afraid you would not have achieved what you are today." Changqing Zhenren shook his head, and then pointed out, "But even if I helped you in secret, but your girl Xu is the one who really picked the beam, and I believe she didn't tell you about the hardships, you have to thank others." ”
"I will." Lin Chen nodded.
Changqing Zhenren looked at Lin Chen's face, and couldn't help but be a little speechless, feeling that this kid was very smart, why didn't he hear the meaning of his words, but this was their young man's business, and it was not easy for him, an elder, to say anything.
Immediately, he continued: "And not only the matter of the platform, but even the subsequent anti-hunting, earth explosion and other things, it is enough to reveal a lot of things. ”
"Indeed." Lin Chen was silent for a moment, and followed his words to analyze, "A person's ability can be seen from his growth trajectory, if it is said that it is a genius to be half a step ahead, but one step ahead, it is really a problem." ”
Speaking of this, Lin Chen couldn't help but ooze a trace of cold sweat behind his back.
Since Changqing Zhenren explained it to him again, it means that he has no intention of doing it to himself, and they will not even ask Lin Chen's background again.
But before this, how many people in the sect noticed that something was wrong, before he failed to promote Jin Dan and had the ability to protect himself, did Changqing Zhenren and others have other thoughts about him?
Since he was a child, Lin Chen has always liked to plan and arrange things, and even reserve enough back-ups.
This doesn't seem to be wrong, but the problem is that he is a traverser, and he is very accustomed to using the thinking of his previous life for the arrangement of various things.
Maybe for ordinary people, there is really no problem, but for those who are old foxes, or characters who are good at analyzing opponents, it is easy to notice that something is wrong.
But Lin Chen didn't notice this, because getting used to this kind of thing is the least likely to arouse people's vigilance.
At this time, Changqing Zhenren sounded in Lin Chen's ears: "It seems that you also realized that you made a mistake." ”
"This time, thank you so much for the reminder." Lin Chen exhaled a long breath and sincerely bowed to Changqing Zhenren.
If he didn't realize this, he would go out to the outside world without paying attention to anything, and the monks of Middle-earth would not necessarily be unmoved.
At best, it is to suppress and become a slave, and at worst, it is to define you as a parasite incarnated by a heavenly demon, and you have been drained from your soul and refined.
"There's nothing to thank you for, you are a disciple of Qingyun Sect, the old man has already regarded you as a junior, and a few words of admonition are indeed right." Changqing Zhenren stroked his white beard and smiled, as if he was a little happy to see Lin Chen's deflated appearance.
"But you have to be very careful when you go out to the outside world this time, after all, you are an outsider, a person from Middle-earth, and you can't talk so well." Subsequently, Changqing Zhenren admonished.
"What the patriarch said is extremely true." Lin Chen nodded, "In the future, I think I will be very careful not to show any horses' feet." ”
It's a big deal that in the future, he will go with the flow and integrate into this immortal cultivation society to avoid being detected as a problem.
Hearing this, Changqing Zhenren nodded, revealing a serious look: "Since I have said this, then I also have a word to explain to you." ”
"Patriarch, please speak." Lin Chen's face became solemn and said.
After some exchanges, he knew that the evergreen real people were indeed for his good, and for such elders' admonitions, no matter what, they should not be neglected.
"The gentleman hides the weapon, and he will move when the time comes." Changqing Zhenren slowly said these eight words.
"What the patriarch means is that when he goes out to Lingnan this time, after he arrives in Middle Earth, he will live in Gou on weekdays and try not to attract attention, but at the critical moment, he must make a brazen move and seize the opportunity, just like Dapeng has the wind, soaring up to 90,000 miles?" Lin Chen said.
"That's right. I believe you all understand this truth, but what I want to emphasize to you this time is not to wait for the time to move, but to hide the weapon of a gentleman. "Evergreen is really humane.
"Patriarch, please make it clear." Lin Chen said seriously.
"Seize the opportunity and ride the wind, I'm sure you understand, but before that, keep the weapon and hide, this is essential." Changqing said patiently.
"What is a vessel, and how is it hidden?"
"To cultivate a device is to understand your own strengths that are superior to others, and to cultivate them and give them full play." Changqing Zhenren pointed at Lin Chendao, "And your advantage lies in the thinking that is different from other monks, this is the most precious thing in you, you have to give it to the extreme, this is the key to determining your path to cultivating immortals, and it is also the 'weapon' for you to settle down!" ”
Changqing Zhenren continued: "Of course, you have done a good job of this, and I believe that you can also persevere, but what I want to tell you next is to learn to hide weapons!" ”
"Just don't show up in front of people, pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger?" Lin Chen asked.
"The gentleman's hiding weapon is to hide his excellent skills, not to hide it as a turtle king who swallows his anger!" Changqing Zhenren categorically vetoed, "You just blindly hide, when the time comes, the villain will bully you, and the superior will not pay attention to you, and you will be the first to be the first when you are abandoned...... At that time, you will not be a hidden vessel, but a hidden person! ”
"The gentleman hides the weapon, it is to let the villain know that you are not easy to mess with, but you don't know the depth, so you don't dare to frame it easily, it is to let the superior know that you are capable, but not so sharp that you are suspicious...... And you will accumulate strength in the process, wait until the wind comes, and then soar to 90,000 miles! Changqing Zhenren said in a deep voice.
But Lin Chen frowned when he heard this: "Ancestor, if you say so, how can you do it?" ”
"In this world, people are sophisticated and people's hearts are changing, I can't explain them one by one, old man, I can only give you three points!" Changqing Zhenren pointed out, "To put it simply, it is to make good use of tools, know people, and know how to take advantage of the situation!" ”
"I hope the patriarch will say it clearly." Lin Chen said.
"To make good use of the instrument is to develop one's own advantages and abilities, reach the point of profundity, and then jump out of the main job, look for opportunities to break through, and then feedback back to the main job."
"For example, the book you created can allow the talented people in it to jump out of their own level, make friends with monks of different levels, and get news outside the circle, which can be used for ......."
……
I don't know how long it took, on the hillside where the breeze blew, only Lin Chen's figure remained.
Lin Chen looked at the boundless mountains and fields in the distance, with a wry smile on his face, but with a hint of emotion:
"Alas, after all, we can't be underestimated, this world is a hero......"
