144 Celebration Banquet (4)
"Sure enough, no matter what era it is, those who can be a prince and a feudal official will definitely not be short-sighted. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoAlthough this Guo Junshou is an ordinary mortal, there are really many things worth learning from me in terms of dealing with the world. β
Although Huang Chang has Su Hui in his previous life, it is just the insight of an ordinary college student after all, and in this life, he went to Kunlun Mountain since he was a child and lived in a rather simple environment. Relying on the ability of the mixed student union in his previous life, he was considered to be a very flexible and transparent person on Kunlun Mountain, and he was very comfortable among his senior brothers and sect seniors, but that was only because of the good sect environment on Kunlun Mountain, so that most disciples did not need to put too much effort into interpersonal relationships.
-- Everything in the West Kunlun sect is good, but it is not very good at teaching disciples how to deal with people. The same is true for those elders on the Immortal Mountain: because their own strength is too strong, and they have divine thoughts and spiritual senses that can probe people's hearts, most of the things they encounter are directly crushed by their strength.
And the things in the world of cultivating immortals can't be done by strength, and most of them can't be done by tricks, so there is no need to play intrigue at all. So much so that the disciples cultivated are often a little naΓ―ve - because Xi Kunlun never thought that immortal cultivators could rely on their intelligence and ingenuity to mix the rivers and lakes, which made Huang Chang's communication skills stand out.
However, not all immortal sects are like this, there are also some small and medium-sized sects in the immortal cultivation world that use the method of raising Gu to train disciples, if the members of them do not know how to form gangs, praise the high and step on the low, do not know how to be small and low, and bully the weak, they will definitely be "naturally eliminated", and all those who can survive are some smart people - Huang Chang knows his own family affairs, and with the behavior and habits he developed in an orderly society in his previous life, if he really wants to fall into that extreme environment, he may not be able to survive.
Fortunately, most of that kind of sect itself could not become strong, and it could only struggle at the bottom of the immortal cultivation world forever. And when those "smart people" disciples encounter simple-minded naΓ―ve disciples in the Kunlun and other major sects, in most cases, they are also crushed by hard power.
β¦β¦ When I was thinking about it, I heard Guo Shouhuan say:
"The old man was also a disciple of Kunlun, and he and his nephew are not outsiders. The virtuous nephew is one of the group of people who worshiped Kunlun Mountain in the seventeenth year of Jing Yao, right? The rules of Kunlun Mountain, after the new disciples go down the mountain, they must enter the red dust to practice, I don't know if the virtuous nephew has chosen a good place for training?"
-- Guo Shouhuan is really familiar with Kunlun Mountain, and casually said some habits of handling affairs within West Kunlun. Although it is not a secret, if it is not for the actual experience of the ancestors, they will not know so much.
And Huang Chang also heard the other party's desire to further get closer to each other in his words. Regarding the olive branch that Guo Shouhuan took the initiative to hand, Huang Chang had no resistance in his heart - if he had no other ideas, just wanted to improve his strength wholeheartedly, and only wanted to become an immortal, interpersonal relationships would indeed be dispensable for him. Anyway, cultivating immortals and becoming enlightened is to seek for oneself, and it has nothing to do with outsiders.
But if he still wants to take care of his family, improve the status of the entire family, and help Ji Ruo's father Shengyangjun's ambitions, then it will be impossible to get out of this worldly world after all. Then his ability to behave in the world and deal with people and things obviously needs to be honed. And a "powerful person" like Guo Shouhuan, of course, must also be well befriended.
"The little nephew has no specific plans at present, and he may go home to see it first, and then decide on the specific action. β
What Huang Chang said was the most conventional practice for most sect disciples, and there was nothing surprising about it. But when Guo Shouhuan heard this, his eyes lit up:
"I don't know where the virtuous nephew's family is? How should the hall be called? With the virtuous nephew's good material, I think it must be after the famous family, maybe it is still the old man's old friend?"
Huang Chang smiled - Ji Ruo's side, this Guo Junshou has already reached an agreement with Shengyangjun. So now he has begun to focus on public relations, such topics he has been exposed to in the auction of the pickaxe capital city before, but at that time it was just a casual past. And this time, since Guo Shouhuan was quite sincere, he also responded positively and straightforwardly:
"My family was originally a cold vegetarian, and there is no county wangtang number. However, after the little nephew is completed, he must be able to mention his family personality. When the time comes, it will be a business trip, or a journey, if there is anything relevant, I hope that Shibo will take care of it. β
Hearing that he finally changed his name, and showed an attitude of seeking from himself, Guo Shouhuan suddenly laughed - this is right, only when there are contacts can we intersect on an equal footing. If one party simply gives help, but always asks for nothing from the other party, then how can the relationship be close?
He immediately slapped his palm:
"Very good! In this way, it will be a certainty! I and my virtuous nephew will definitely become friends in the world!"
"Okay, then it's a deal!"
Facing the wine glass that Guo Shouhuan, the warden of Linquan County, raised to him again, the young immortal cultivator Huang Chang also smiled and raised his glass in response.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
At the end of the song, the guests and hosts were happy, and that night, after the celebration banquet was over, Huang Chang and Ji Ruo quietly left the barracks.
"Brother Chang, shall we leave like this? Uncle Guo is so polite. β
Ji Ruo still looked a little embarrassed, after all, Guo Shouhuan was very thoughtful in entertaining them and gave them a lot of treasures. The communication at the banquet was also quite good, and it slipped away quietly in a blink of an eye, which seemed a little unreasonable.
But Huang Chang smiled bitterly:
"It is precisely because he is so polite that I am afraid that if I don't slip away, I will owe him more favors - this kind of old bureaucrat is really difficult to deal with. Dealing with him is even more difficult than dealing with late-stage youkai. β
Seeing Huang Chang's deflated look, Ji Ruo couldn't help but laugh:
"I can't imagine that Brother Achang, you also have characters that you can't handle. β
"Of course there is, with the size of the world, all kinds of strange people and strange people, how dare I look down on people. β
Huang Chang shrugged his shoulders and responded honestly. When he said this, Ji Ruo remembered something again, and suddenly burst into a smile:
"Speaking of which, Brother Ah Chang, you seem to have said: We will not be so unlucky, every time we encounter a strong enemy. But three times in a row, the opponents we encountered seemed to be beyond the 'normal range' set by the sect. β
When he mentioned this, Huang Chang suddenly looked embarrassed:
ββ¦β¦ There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, who knows that when you go down the mountain, you will encounter three waves before and after, all of which are strong enemies...... Fortunately, we didn't suffer any losses, we all won the battle, and the gains were also great. β
"Then Brother Ah Chang, is your qi calculation good or not?"
Ji Ruo asked with a smile, Huang Chang has often talked about "luck" in front of her recently, and Ji Ruo teased him in turn at this time.
But Huang Chang thought about it for a while, and muttered:
"At the moment it looks pretty good, at least they've won. But if it's not handled properly, it's bad luck...... Therefore, if so, most of the things in the world depend on good and bad, whether it is good or bad, in the final analysis, it depends on your own response. β
Since he talked about this, Huang Chang took this opportunity to preach to Ji Ruo:
"You see, Ruoruo, this time when we went down the mountain, the three before and after we encountered were all strong enemies, but only the tiger demon of the first time was really dealt with by our own strength, and the next two ......"
"The previous time was sent from the Kunlun Mountains, and the second time was their own infighting...... Brother Chang, your luck is really good. β
Although Ji Ruo did not participate in the final battle, he also heard Huang Chang tell the details. And Huang Chang told her these things precisely to instill some relevant concepts in her:
"So, if you are, many times, even if you encounter opponents who are stronger than us, don't lose your courage. In this world, it is not only your own strength that determines the outcome of the game. Being good at relying on external forces, or finding the opponent's own flaws, can achieve unexpected results - but the reverse is also true: you can't be careless when you encounter those who are not as strong as us, because you never know what hole cards the opponent has. β
In fact, with Huang Chang's ability, even if there were no such changes, he would be able to cope with it himself. But for now, there is no need to educate Ji Ruo to say these words. And the girl really didn't notice this, and just nodded obediently at Huang Chang's words.
As they spoke, the two had left the camp for some distance, and Huang Chang played his silent little whistle, and after a while, he saw the parrot Bobo flapping its wings and flying over.
"Are you going back to the mountains? It's good, it's good, and I'm missing the mushroom head and the turnip. β
ββAfter hearing that he was leaving, Bobo was not reluctant at all. Huang Chang pursed his lips, saying in his heart that you miss the seeds and snacks on their bodies. But of course, he would not expose the hypocrisy of the little parrot, and only signaled that it was ready to go.
Before leaving, Bobo suddenly remembered something:
"That's right, I've heard from Brother Rat that it seems that those wicked people who were killed by you still have a few secret caves in the mountains, and most people don't know about them, and there may be good things in them!"
"It's too conspicuous right now, next time. We'll come back next time we have the chance. β
Gently rubbing the Qiankun ring in his hand, Huang Chang promised with a smile.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
After that, under Ji Ruo's control, Caiyun Aya turned into a long rainbow, holding Huang Chang and Ji Ruo and slowly rising into the night sky. Looking at the city that was gradually moving away, especially when his eyes swept over the cruel execution ground where the dead were hanging, Ji Ruo suddenly sighed:
"We're going to be out in just over a year. At that time, Brother Ah Chang really doesn't want to get involved in such a fight and killing anymore. β
Huang Chang glanced at Ji Ruo, and said in his heart that your father has even begun to contact his political allies, and he obviously wants to rely on you to open up a fiefdom, how can there be no war?
Of course, as a boyfriend, he must take responsibility at this time. So, like all young people in front of lovers, Huang Chang patted his chest and made a decisive promise:
"Don't worry, if you are here, everything will be with me at that time!"
Ji Ruo turned his head to look at him, although he didn't say anything, his eyes were sparkling and tender.
