Chapter 165 Employing people's hearts since ancient times, what is the fate of heaven
Shang Yunfei stood up and said, "I'll take this bet on me!" I'll go and take Li Zhizhen's apprentice now." After speaking, he got up and left, walked to the door, and turned around and added: "In order to seek peace inside and outside the red dust, I do not hesitate to start first to confuse the world-it seems that you are the only one in this world." After saying this unclear sentence, he left himself, leaving only me and the wind gentleman.
The conversation between Feng Junzi and Shang Yunfei just now, I was dimly understood, but I didn't fully understand it yet. The intention of the Feng Junzi seems to be to take those two people as apprentices, teach them something, let them make their "career" bigger, and then attract the power of the world to destroy them, and even a group of people of the same kind will be destroyed together! "What are they going to do so that they don't violate the precepts, and they have to ask the Wind Gentleman for adviceβwhat does this kid think?
"Feng Junzi, I heard you mean that Shang Yunfei wanted to accept that Master Li Zhizhen as an apprentice, but what about the other Zhang Baorui?"
Wind Gentleman: "Did you listen to what he just said? He said that he didn't go to hell, who went to hell, so he also had to go to hell." ...... You brought it up, can you bear to see me go to hell?"
"What do you mean?"
Feng Junzi: "Of course, it is not good to bet with him with my seniority to accept apprentices directly." You went and took that Zhang Baorui as an apprentice for me. β
"I accept Zhang Baorui as an apprentice? In terms of publicity, the great masters of the past and present can worship me as a middle school student?"
Feng Junzi smiled: "These people who pretend to be gods and ghosts in the world. When you meet a real immortal, don't you come with your ass right away?...... You don't have to really come forward, you just pretend to be a god and go down to earth to show him a few hands, and you're afraid that he won't worship you as a teacher? It's just that he won't tell others. That's it!"
"And what do you want me to teach him?"
Wind Gentleman: "You can teach him some small spells that can bluff people a little bit and are harmless." As for the three dreams in the world** or the four doors and twelve floors, of course, you can't mention it. β
"I don't know any of that. You never taught me?"
Feng Junzi: "What am I teaching you these for? You are now considered a master in the cultivation world, and your cultivation is not low, and you don't think about these tricks?"
"I can guess what you mean, you want to help these two people become famous, make a big mess, and then have their own worldly forces to sweep it away together. ...... I might be able to do this with an apprentice, I'm afraid it's too difficult, right?"
Feng Junzi: "I can't tell you about this, this is a matter of the world, not a matter of cultivation." Don't forget, in the world, I am still three years younger than you, if you don't know what to do, you can ask Han Ziying. She's smart. Even smarter than me, and five hundred years of experience is not given in vain, looking at the mundane things in the world, it is much better than you and me...... Be sure not to let anyone else know except Han Ziying. β
"Okay, I'll ask Ziying. When do you want me to do it?"
Feng Junzi: "This matter is in a hurry. Whether it is you or Shang Yunfei intervening behind the scenes, it will not be effective without three or five years of hard work. ...... I can't predict it, so let's listen to Han Ziying's analysis, right? I'm a monk Yunfei, you just don't lose for me!"
"Okay, I'll do it when I get back. There's one more thing I want to ask you. β
Wind Gentleman: "Just ask if you want to." β
"What have you been thinking stupidly these days? I think there's something wrong with you. β
Wind Gentleman: "Actually, I'm thinking about Qiye. I didn't expect his real cultivation to be so high, and I couldn't defeat him. β
"Can't defeat him, but at the Fa Acting Conference, you clearly didn't fight with the Yang God!"
Wind Gentleman: "There are some things you don't understand, even everyone present doesn't know. I can't say either. But I can tell you that I did my best in that fight, and if I still didn't win, I really couldn't win, so don't ask why. ...... Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked him to go to Zhaoting Mountain to make a decision. β
"Liu Yiyi told me that you are invincible in the world on Zhaoting Mountain, is it true?"
Wind Gentleman: "Even if it's not true, it's not far off, I can even seal a mountain god, and there's no problem with cleaning up a seven leaves." β
"I think your practice is weird...... Since it's no problem to clean up the seven leaves, what are you still thinking?"
Wind Gentleman: "I'm thinking about what to do with him." Dan Dao's cultivation to the Yang God realm was already close to immortality. The masters of the world can defeat him, but they can't kill him, at most they will destroy a flesh body. He can also rebuild with his divine sense, and even the Qing Ying Mirror can't let him destroy his form and divine ability. ...... After being reincarnated, Qiye has the memories and roots of his previous life, and his cultivation is extremely fast, and he will soon make a comeback, even if he finds him before this and kills him, the situation is the same. ...... Is it just an endless cycle of killing? What a great sinful karma is this...... Forget it, I'll go to the Jiulin Monastery and ask the three monks what other means they have in the Buddhist sect. You go to Han Ziying, and when you accept Zhang Baorui's apprentice, I will teach you the mantras and mental methods of the 'baby' in the four doors and twelve floors. β
......
"It's so ruthless that doing so will make the world even more chaotic!, but it's also a one-and-done solution, at least for a long time. If I had to figure out a way, I'm afraid the best way would be that. β
This is what Ziying said to me in Junziju. The wind gentleman asked me to ask her, so I came to ask, and explained the cause and effect clearly, Ziying couldn't help frowning. I asked, "You say that the Wind Gentleman is scheming? I don't think he is that kind of person." β
Ziying: "This person has the talent of an emperor." Ordinary people can only see a few people and things in front of him at a glance, and he can see how the world repeats at a glance. ...... But after all, he is still young and not good at doing chores, so he has to leave it to you and me to do it, because he can think of it himself, but he can't do it himself. ...... I'm not saying he's scheming. It's that the method itself is ruthless enough, and it is not something that ordinary people can come up with. But then again, although there are many people who may be unlucky, but after all, it is for the peace of Hongchen, and although it looks ruthless, it is full of compassion. That's why Shang Yunfei, a disciple of Buddhism, agreed to intervene. β
"I can understand his thoughts, but I'm a little unsure, no matter how big a character like Zhang Baorui is, can he still cause chaos in the world?"
Ziying: "You don't understand this, now this Zhang Baorui is definitely not good, so the Feng gentleman asked you to take him as an apprentice." ...... When people change their minds, they will change, and what they can do is something that Master Zhang can't think of now, but when the time comes, he will do it. Haven't you seen an ordinary person's status and mentality change and cause chaos?"
"I think of one thing when you mention it. There is a small white village at the mouth of the Sanjiang River north of Wucheng Jinbaowei. There was once a soil emperor, Bai Zhongliu, who caused a big mess just because the monster possessed him had some abilities...... "Anyway, Ziying already knows about the place where I work for the secret agency, so I briefly told me about the process of arresting Bai Zhongliu in Xiaobai Village last time, but I didn't mention the small name."
After hearing this, Ziying smiled and said: "That's it! The Wind Gentleman just asked you to be the demon soul of that white-sided dolphin, and let that master Zhang Baorui be the white middle stream." It's just that the circle of influence is not just a small white village. Rather, the larger the scope of the whole secular society, the better. In the end, there will naturally be people like you who came out to clean him up, and at the same time stifled other similar phenomena, which is called a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle. β
"But how can you let that Zhang Baorui become bigger? It's almost the end of his current exhibition. It's nothing more than running a few qigong training classes in various places and charging two dollars to spend. β
Ziying: "Actually, it's easy to do, first of all, you have to establish a canon, a god, and a religion." The first thing to do is to raise his set of exercises and theories to the level of ideological deification. Second, we must promote him as a person to the status of the world's master, and third, we must develop a strict organizational form, and control the thoughts of those so-called students and disciples, so as to be able to control their words and deeds. If you can do these three things, and then find a way to expand the scale, the climate will be about the same. In the past 500 years, I have seen people in the world who have ambitions and gather people, whether they succeed or not, as long as they can make trouble on the earth, it is all this kind of routine, I think this was the case with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom back then. β
"But what you're talking about isn't what I'm good at. β
Ziying: "It doesn't have to be your strength, you should learn the means of a gentleman." You don't have to do everything with your own hands, and there are people in the world who can use land. You just need to instruct him, as long as he can create influence and bring benefits, some are scum literati to set up monuments, compile classics and teachings, and some are ambitious villains who carry this banner to operate, and seek power and profit from it. β
"But he doesn't seem to be able to do that right now. β
Ziying: "What this Master Zhang wants to do now is actually similar to doing business, to expand the scale of the chain and establish a strict organization with hierarchical control. In the past, it was called the Rat Club and the Rake Club, but now it is called MLM. I can tell you some of how it works, and you can go back and imply that he can. ...... All you have to do is find out the person's situation and control the person at the same time. β
"I know I'll do it tonight. β
Ziying: "Wait, there's one more thing I want to remind you. The Wind Gentleman doesn't take action personally, trying his best to avoid the cause and effect of this world, you also have to pay attention. Although this Zhang Baorui is not good, but the sin is not to death, if you encounter the disaster of killing because of your behavior today in the future, you must find a way to save his life. I think Shang Yunfei went to secretly manipulate Li Zhizhen, with the intention of almost in the end, he would also save Li Zhizhen's life. β
"How long do you think it will take to get to this point?"
Ziying: "The Wind Gentleman said that it will take at least three or five years, and I think it will be more than that. β
"So long?"
Ziying: "Three or five years is a short time for a cultivator, and it is even more of a snap of a finger in the world. β
......
The Three Dreams of the World** According to the Wind Gentleman, it is a kind of fairy art, or an excellent weapon in this world to pretend to be a ghost. It won't make you truly immortal, but you learn that he can definitely pretend to be a fairy-like existence in front of ordinary people. I want to find the "Great Master of Cultivating Life and Increasing Wisdom" Zhang Baorui, the most convenient way is to go directly to his dream, and then lead him into a delusional realm, a little bit of mystery, it is estimated that he believes everything.
Zhang Baorui lives in a high-end suite at the Zhaoting Mountain Hotel in Wucheng. The room was filled with pennants and inscriptions and group photos of celebrities. But the dozen or so other staff members or disciples who accompanied him lived in a very ordinary street guest house not far from the Zhaotingshan Hotel. It seems that this "master" has not been in business for a long time, and when he walked the rivers and lakes, he did not have much money, except for supporting the scene, other things can be saved.
The conference was held at night for three consecutive days, and Zhang Baorui was also very tired, and slept very soundly at night. My earthly god traveled to his bedside. Waiting for him to dream
In the dream, Zhang Baorui came to an unknown place in the sky. Stepping on the white clouds, looking up at the infinite blue sky, the light around them is bright and soft, but the sun is not visible. He was looking around, and suddenly an unknown voice came from the sky: "Zhang Baorui!"
"Who? who called me?" replied Zhang Baorui at a loss.
"Don't ask me who I am, I came here for you, you can't see me, because I'm a being that mortals can't understand. That majestic voice still came from heaven.
Zhang Baorui: "Why are you looking for me?"
"Because of the mission. You have come into the world without knowing your mission. It's time to tell you today!"
Zhang Baorui: "What mission? I don't understand. β
"Today's appearance is to enlighten you, you go back and think about it, I will come to you again tomorrow. The voice disappeared. Zhang Baorui also woke up from his dream.
He sat up from the bed, sweating on his head, and muttered, "What kind of strange dream is this, am Iβat the command of heaven? How is this possible...... Well, maybe I'm not really an ordinary person. Whatever. It's just a dream. β
......
The next night, Zhang Baorui had the same dream, the same place, the same blue sky and white clouds. The majestic voice in the sky still asked, "Zhang Baorui." You're here again?"
Zhang Baorui exclaimed: "Who are you, why are you in this dream?"
"I said I would come to you again today, tell you about your mission in the world, have you figured it out?"
Zhang Baorui's expression was both shocked and excited, and his voice trembled: "Are you an immortal?"
"I'm not a god, my existence, you don't understand, it's okay for you to treat me as an immortal. ...... I came to earth with you. β
Zhang Baorui: "I still don't understand what the mission is?"
"What you're doing, what you're doing. You are leading the people to the earth's paths. β
Zhang Baorui: "Do you mean ......?"
"Yes, the reason why you chose such a path is because you came with a mission, so I found you. I'll come back to you tomorrow!" After speaking, the voice disappeared again, and Zhang Baorui also woke up. Pretending to be a ghost to grasp the sense of proportion, it is impossible for the fairy to say too much, just fool him in.
This time, Zhang Baorui couldn't sleep, and sat on the bed and thought stupidly for a long time: "Is there really such a thing? Is there really an unknown existence in this world? Are the things I used to pretend to teach people real? Am I really a person from an extraordinary background?...... If you still have such dreams tomorrow, I'm afraid it will be true!"
......
"Ziying, you said that I used the method of turning dreams to bewitch an ordinary person, is this considered a violation of the precepts?"
Zi Ying blinked her eyes and replied, "What do you say? Between the two of them, the Wind Gentleman must have some reason for letting you do this. If Zhang Baorui is honest and wants to be an ordinary person, it will be forgotten, but he wants to stand up and claim to be a great grandmaster and proclaim that he is a god, then you can't be wrong about him. ...... I see it's almost hot, do you remember what I told you?"
......
On the third night, when Zhang Baorui reappeared in that dream, he was already convinced. Looking at the blue sky and white clouds, he said, "It turns out that all this is really true, I am here again, where are you?" he shouted at the sky.
I waited until he had enough shouting before I spoke: "I'm here, I've always been here, and I'll show up when I need to." How do you think about it?"
Zhang Baorui: "I think clearly! No wonder I have felt different since I was a child, and I always feel that I can lead many people to do things and life is meaningful. Later, I created my own cultivation and wisdom skills, which I originally found out in the book and made up my own land. But I now feel like I have inadvertently figured out the real thing. ...... Is this the order of God? It turns out that I am not really lying!"
I sighed secretly, so demagogic people, after a long time, they will gradually be bewitched by themselves, and in the end, they even take themselves seriously. Although I think so, I can't say this: "I found you to let you guide others to pursue the true realm." Your things are not enough or complete, and I have come to teach you the means by which to guide the people. β
This time, I talked for a long time in the dream, and I taught him Ziying's techniques, and reminded him how to make his "career" bigger and stronger. Finally, he said to him, "You have to build your organization, you have to lead more people, and when the day really comes, I will come back to you." "When I was done, he woke up as I left.
Since then, Zhang Baorui has "re-recognized himself". It's not just a simple walk to seek fame and fortune, but it has an obvious purpose. According to the instructions of the mysterious voice in the dream, he did a few things
First, it is necessary to reform the organizational form of the "sects." Originally, he just went to various places to give a report and then held several training courses. Now, he has expanded the training course from the original level 3 to level 4. "Trainees" receive a certificate for each level of study. At the end of the fourth level, after completing the completion of the "Yanhuang Cultivation and Increasing Wisdom Gong", the certification qualification of a "Yanhuang Cultivation and Increasing Wisdom Gong" can be set up in various places to open training courses from the first to the third level to recruit students. This is both a means of earning a living and a way of organizing. Of course, these training courses are all for which the "Dharma Transmitters" themselves receive a small part. Most of them had to be handed over to the "Grandmaster Headquarters", and in this way, Zhang Baorui gathered the first big money to start a business.
Finally, the fourth level of training requires students from all over the country to go to the "headquarters" and be taught by the "grandmaster" himself. This is both an opportunity to deify oneself. You can also take the opportunity to show key members. It is said that those who pass the Grandmaster's test can also stay at the headquarters to learn more "advanced" exercises, obtain the certificate of "instructor", and be entrusted with a more important mission. Later, the fourth-level training course was also set up by this group of "instructors" in various places, and the Grandmaster Headquarters became a specialized institution for further study.
As the saying goes, third-rate enterprises do products, second-rate enterprises do first-class technology, and enterprises do certification. This is the highest concept in the world industry field, which is used by Zhang Baorui, especially the qualification hand, which is played beautifully. It is equivalent to sending countless controlled "Zhang Baorui" to all parts of the country. It was something that all the other "masters" of the time did not expect. By the time others remembered to imitate it, Zhang Baorui's organization had already grown considerably. This hand is not what I came up with, but Han Ziying's guidance.
Soon after, Zhang Baorui did not have to go around the rivers and lakes as in the past, but sat at the headquarters and selected key talents while collecting money. The only task I gave him was to expand the scale, and the more people who exhibited, the better the people, the greater the impact, and in the end, the bigger the mess and the easier it was to clean up.
After being rich and powerful, Zhang Baorui did the second thing: carefully selected a group of learned and talented elites among his disciples and students. Shake the pen, build a monument, and raise your own set of things from "exercises" to the height of "culture", and then to the realm of "ultimate philosophy". Compiling classics, compiling periodicals, and conducting tutorial materials to expand their influence from top to bottom to create a status similar to that of a religious leader.
Fame is one thing, and profit is another. By organizing exhibitions, Zhang Baorui has established a number of industries in various places, just like those schools described in martial arts novels, and established headquarters and many branches, which is actually a kind of real estate in disguise. Among the elites, there are also business talents, who have promoted a large number of highly profitable products through the vast network of training courses, including: Yanhuang audio tapes, Yanhuang videos, Yanhuang information tea, Yanhuang peace charms, and Yanhuang kung fu outfits...... Flame yellow trouser belt, flame yellow lollipop and so on.
I didn't go to him again as an "immortal", it was just a kind of ignition, and those three dreams were enough. The seed has been sown, and if he is that kind of person, it will naturally take root. I didn't ask him to do anything else, I didn't exhort him to do anything good, I didn't exhort him to do anything bad, so he did what he wanted. But I know in my heart that Zhang Baorui will follow the old path of white middle class - this will be at least three or five years later. I don't know what kind of tactics Shang Yunfei used against Li Zhizhen, it may be similar.
