Chapter 30: The Second Spring of Lao Dingtou

When people get old, they feel more emotional. The old Ding Tou, who had walked on the line of life and death, unabashedly revealed his vulnerability in front of Qian Yang.

Is it the fear of being alone and feeling alone, or is it the uncertainty of the future when you lose your way forward?

Qian Yang couldn't deeply understand Lao Dingtou's loneliness and helplessness, but he did feel that Lao Ding should have a more exciting second half of his life. As for himself, he should only be a passerby in Lao Ding's life.

In fact, who is not a passerby in other people's lives? It's just that some people have been on the same road for a longer time, and some people just pass by.

"Lao Ding!" Qian Yang deliberately put on a relaxed demeanor: "I don't think there is any need to forcibly put any labels on the relationship between people." What about master and apprentice? What if they are not master and apprentice? If people are bound by ethics and responsibilities behind identity labels, they will get along with each other with less authenticity and purity. ”

Lao Ding tilted his head sideways, and when he turned his head, the tears had disappeared, and he forced a smile: "I just think it's good if there is really an apprentice." ”

"Don't you want an apprentice to bring you tea and water, and send you to the end of your old age?" Qian Yang's expression was exaggerated.

Lao Ding thought for a moment and said with a smile: "That's not bad!"

Qian Yang pouted: "Your old man has at least two hundred years to live, is it a little too early to think about this?"

Lao Dingtou snorted: "People have to think long-term!"

Qian Yang stood up: "Old man, don't treat yourself as an old man anymore, I have pulled you out of the grave, and there is still half a lifetime of excitement waiting for you!"

Old Ding Tou suddenly felt that his nose was a little sore, and for some reason, he just couldn't find the pleasure of being reborn no matter what.

Qian Yang sighed: "It's all alive, what do you plan to do in the future?"

"What else can I do?" Lao Ding smiled bitterly: "Then bet on stones, and by the way, wait for another opportunity to stay." But suddenly you don't feel motivated?"

Qian Yang frowned: "Do you really like the gambling stone industry?"

Lao Ding Tou pouted: "It's not a matter of liking it or not, but I don't have any other choice." ”

"Well, you can't live without stones for the rest of your life. Qian Yang stood up and suddenly asked, "Then have you ever thought about making some changes in this industry?"

"Change, how to change?" the old man was confused.

Qian Yang thought for a moment and said: "I once discussed the current situation of the gambling stone industry with a Taoist friend, and we think that if the gambling stone exists as a simple entertainment industry, it may be more vigorous, rather than just a tool for some people to make money like now." ”

"What's the difference?" said Lao Dingtou, who was obviously a fan of the authorities.

Qian Yang explained: "The fundamental difference between the two is the crazy profit margin, according to the current profit level of the gambling stone industry, all the people involved in the gambling stone are actually confused by the artificially depicted scene of getting rich." ”

But after all, the people who have been deceived are a minority, and people will eventually have a sober day, so the gambling stone is confined to a narrow circle, and there will never be a prospect of development. ”

"What do you want to say?" Lao Ding was still a little confused.

Qian Yang smiled: "If you are given a chance, are you willing to turn gambling stones into a real fair game of skill and strength?"

Old Dingtou's eyes gradually radiated brilliance.

Qian Yang continued: "When gambling stones really becomes a fair entertainment activity, then gambling stones can go out of the Western Wilderness and into the daily life of all monks, and become a national game that all monks agree with and are willing to participate in." From now on, there will no longer be a poor old man like you who has never met a talented person and died depressed. ”

Lao Dingtou was moved by the beautiful picture depicted by Qian Yang, and muttered: "It's good, it's good, but the profit margin is reduced, and those sects won't agree." ”

Qian Yang shook his head: "It's just the difference between short-term interests and long-term interests, as long as you work in this direction, I think there is still hope." ”

Lao Dingtou was stunned for a long time, and suddenly shook his head with a wry smile: "What's the use of thinking well, I'm a lonely old man with nothing to do, and I can't change anything." ”

Qian Yang showed a bright smile, took a few steps forward, gave Lao Ding Tou a firm hug, and whispered: "I'm helping you find an opportunity, maybe I can give you a platform to show." ”

The old man didn't know why, and pushed Qian Yang away, his face full of surprise.

Qian Yang threw out a mysterious smile and pushed the door away, leaving only a passionate sentence: "Old man, live well!

。。。。。。

On the day that Ding Shen woke up, the Cui Hall Master of the Duobao Sect was thrown out of the Hidden Sword Gate Branch Hall by his arm in front of everyone.

But people were surprised to see that this Cui Hall Master was not only not half dissatisfied, but instead gave a smile to the two Hidden Sword Sect disciples who threw him out, and then patted the dust on his body, and slipped back to the Duobao Sect branch hall without raising his head.

Duobaozong welcomed back their hall master, and there was no intention of celebrating, but closed the door to thank the guests, low-key and confusing.

On the contrary, the Hidden Sword Sect has been active recently, and Second Elder Chen and Master Ma went around visiting relatives and friends, and visited the branch halls of each sect in turn.

The purpose of the visit was not a secret, and those who were interested quickly found out that it was the "Ding Shen", who had been silent for many years, had finally recovered from his illness, and the Hidden Sword Gate was trying to find a position for him to be a resident stone master.

Over there, the Hidden Sword Gate is running hard, and the "Ding God" here has finally officially appeared.

Ding Shen, who has stepped into the Jindan period, is no longer old as before, with a strong posture, sharp eyes, and a calm temperament, all of which show that Ding Shen has returned to the peak of his life.

Maybe some people with little qualifications don't know what kind of person the so-called Ding Shen is, but it doesn't matter, under the enthusiastic introduction of someone with a heart, Ding Shen's glorious resume will soon be known to everyone.

All of a sudden, the word Ding Shen has become the hottest word in Yifang City, if someone can't say the three or five deeds of Ding Shen, then this person will drop a few grades out of thin air, and will be excluded by the stone circles of all classes.

Hyping this kind of thing is familiar to someone, and throwing out a few ideas casually is enough for these honest people in the West Wilderness to play for many months.

On this day, someone suddenly saw an energetic old man on the street, who was like the legendary god Ding.

After a little inquiry, I knew that Ding Shen was interested today, and took his unsuccessful apprentice to gamble on the street, which can be regarded as an on-site teaching.

It is really worth showing off to meet a big star on the street, and after a few messages from the circle of friends, there are hundreds of people behind Ding Shen.

Of course, everyone is a monk, and the necessary reserve must be necessary. Fans just watched their idols from a distance, and at best, they waved excitedly when Ding Shen inadvertently looked over.

Ding Shen was amiable, without half a stand, although he didn't say hello, but he also cast a kind smile.

People followed Ding Shen from afar, listening carefully to him from time to time to explain to his apprentices the tricks of gambling stones. With just a few words, fans feel that they have benefited a lot.

After walking around for a while, Ding Shen seemed to be interested in the stones on a stall, pulled his apprentice to squat next to the stall, and began to explain his views on the stones piece by piece.

The stall owner naturally didn't know Ding Shen, and seeing that he was fortunate enough to have close contact with the idol, he rubbed his hands excitedly on the side.

"How do you sell this stone?" Ding Shen's apprentice asked.

The stall owner said excitedly: "Look at this...... It's all ...... It's all ...... Brick material, unified ...... Two spirit stones are a piece, and what you buy is a ...... Fun!"

Ding Shen's apprentice didn't speak, obviously looking at his master's horse. Ding Shen nodded and rummaged through the pile of stones.

The onlookers were frightened, could it be that Ding Shen wanted to buy this kind of brick material for two yuan a piece? They thought that a high-ranking figure like Ding Shen must also buy the kind of rough stone that costs tens of millions at every turn, and it will cost hundreds of millions to unravel it, how could they buy this kind of lowest-grade garbage?

But the result was really shocking, Ding Shen really let his apprentice take out twenty spirit stones and buy ten bricks.

Could it be that this kind of rotten street stone can really solve anything?

Some fans who are not afraid of big things began to coax: "Ding Shen, untie the stone and show us!"

One person shouted, a second person shouted, and soon, the whole street was transformed into two words - calcite!

Ding Shen smiled helplessly, and finally replied: "Most of these stones are nothing special, only one of them is a little interesting for me to look at, since everyone is interested, let's untie this piece and take a look!"

"Good!"

"Okay!"

The crowd rejoiced.

Ding Shen picked out a black rough stone, which looked no different from the other bricks. He handed the stone to his apprentice and motioned to untie it on the spot.

Although Ding Shen's apprentice is not a weapon, his technique of calcifying stone is still quite proficient. Soon, the rough stone's gauze fell off, and five fiery red top-grade spirit stones fell to the ground.

Million!

The audience was in an uproar!

The dream of five million in two dollars became a reality in front of everyone's eyes, and everyone was amazed and thought of the couplet on the gate of Yifang City:

Flat land is like a dream, win the world with a small broad!

Ding Shen ...... God!

At the onlookers, a person suddenly separated the crowd and rushed to the front of Ding Shen to worship on the ground: "I implore Ding Shen to accept me as an apprentice, I am willing to serve in front of the master's knee in this life!"

As soon as these words came out, several people rushed out one after another, shouting in their mouths: "I beg God Ding to accept me as an apprentice!"

Ding Shen's face was full of embarrassment, and he only said: "I have one apprentice, it's enough!"

Everyone looked at Ding Shen's apprentice angrily, and the jealousy in their eyes was self-evident.

The fans were emotional, Ding Shen was a little helpless, and after thinking for a while, he finally spoke: "Since you are quite interested in Pinshi, and you don't dare to cherish yourself, from tomorrow, I will publicly explain some Pinshi experience in the square opposite the Yinjianmen Branch, and interested Taoist friends can go and communicate with me." ”

The great god is going to give a public lecture, and everyone is so happy, this kind of opportunity is absolutely once-in-a-lifetime.

Immediately, there was a voice of thanks in the audience.

Ding believed in his word, and began a ten-day stone tasting course early the next morning.

At this time, Ding Shen was already red in half the sky, and his appeal was extremely amazing, and the rather wide square opposite the Hidden Sword Gate branch hall was crowded with fans who flocked to it early.

Speaking of Pinshi, there are no laymen in Yifang City. As soon as Ding Shen opened his mouth, everyone could hear clearly whether there were dry goods in it.

At the end of the day's lessons, there was only one emotion left in everyone's hearts: there is no vanity under the fame!
