Occupational sacrifice

Chapter 138 The Ghosts and Snakes in the Low-Level Casual Cultivation Circle

Early in the morning, Cheng Zhanping was lying on a cool chair in the courtyard, and beside him were two and a half maids, one was making tea, the other was serving him, with a look of enjoyment on his face, extremely leisurely, very comfortable.

Hearing Zhang Buyi's arrival, Cheng Zhanping didn't have the slightest intention to get up. He pointed to the stool, motioned Zhang Buyi to sit by himself, and said with a smile on his face:
"Isn't it thanks to the blessing of the Taoist priest? The Taoist priest has contributed a lot to the fact that I can have such a chic life now. The Taoist priest has really done a lot of good to Luzhou!"

Zhang Buyi glanced at Cheng Zhanping, he was used to this kind of flattery.He sat down without paying attention, and took a cup of tea from the maid.

"Your Majesty's life is getting more and more comfortable, but these days are becoming more and more difficult for the poor!" Zhang Buyi said as he took a sip of tea.

With his head lying flat, Cheng Zhan tilted his head slightly, looked at Zhang Buyi and said, "Master Dao, you made this yourself, and it has nothing to do with me. I can't deal with such a big mess. I haven't seen this." For a few days, this officer dared to hide in the yard."

Having said that, his eyes shone with a different kind of light.Originally, he had already tried his best to look up to this Massachusetts fairy, but he didn't expect that the other party was not only a Taoist, but also had an extremely close relationship with the Confucian bigwigs.

This kind of person, he actually wanted to stay as far away as possible.After all, if you look at the peaceful Luzhou in the past, and the current Luzhou in the center of the storm, it is simply two worlds.

In his thoughts, he asked: "Given the nature of you going to the Three Treasures Palace, Daoist, what's the matter this time?"

"Pindao heard that there is a cultivator Fangshi in Luzhou?" Zhang Buyi asked.

Cheng Zhanping stood up abruptly, startled the little maid beside him who was beating his shoulders to serve him, stared at Zhang Buyi and said, "Master Daoist, do you want to attend the gathering of practitioners in Luzhou?"

Zhang Buyi looked at the other party suspiciously, he didn't know why he had such a big reaction, he nodded hesitantly, and said, "Is there?"

"Yes, that's great. It just so happened that the Taoist priest came, and there will be a meeting today. Let's go, I should work harder and take the Taoist priest there!" During the words, Cheng Zhanping got up and took a piece of cloth to go. Participate in the posture of Fangshi.

Zhang Buyi looked at Cheng Zhanping, drank his tea, didn't have the slightest intention to get up, just watched.With the other party's attitude, it is obvious that there is something in it that he doesn't know. If he doesn't explain it clearly, he won't follow in such a muddle.

Seeing this, Cheng Zhanping sat back awkwardly.

"Tell me?" Zhang Buyi said when he saw this.

Cheng Zhanping said: "There is nothing to say, our temple in Luzhou is small, and it is not comparable to places like Sichuan. There is no market, only a gathering of practitioners.

That is to say, a communication circle organized by several local monks. Most of the time, they are acquaintances who communicate or exchange some items with each other once or twice a month. "

Zhang Buyi nodded, he understood its nature, it was like a small gathering, with a barter link added?

"Then why did Master Cheng go crazy just now?" Zhang Buyi looked at Cheng Zhanping suspiciously, and asked.

"Crazy?" Cheng Zhanping glanced at Zhang Buyi, and said, "The Taoist priest is really a true immortal, and he has not eaten the fireworks of the world for many years!"

Zhang Buyi frowned slightly again, seeing that Cheng Zhanping didn't answer.

"Does the Taoist know that before you came up with the great Confucianism article, almost everyone in the small circle I belonged to asked me to pull the Taoist to go to the assembly and communicate with them?"

Cheng Zhanping's words made Zhang Buyi startled, seeing this, Cheng Zhanping shook his head and said to himself: "Look, it's true that you don't eat fireworks!
This was before the Taoist priest revealed his close relationship with the hermit Confucianism, but now... Oh, the small circle before me is so lively that I don't even want to show my head. "

Zhang Buyi's face twitched, he still underestimated the attractiveness of the word 'Great Confucianism'.

Nine ranks of monks, apprentices are not counted, and after one rank takes office, it can be regarded as officially stepping on the road of cultivation.Afterwards, Nine Revolutions was divided into three main stages from a broad perspective.

One to three revolutions are one stage, four to six revolutions are one stage, and seven to nine revolutions are one stage.Take Daxia's most popular Confucianism and Taoism as an example.

Before the third turn, they were called Confucian scholars. After the fourth turn, they could be called Confucianists. They were honored as Great Confucianists. After the seventh turn, they entered the semi-sage state, and after the ninth turn, they became saints.

The same is true for most other paths. For example, the first three realms of Immortal Dao are called Refining Essence Realm, the middle three realms are called Refining God Realm, and the last three realms are called Refining Void Realm. Only after turning nine times can one become a fairy.It's just that the cultivator of the seventh rank of Immortal Dao has not appeared for many years.

There may be some subdivisions of the titles. For example, the three realms of Confucian scholars are respectively called first-rank scholar, second-rank Juren, third-rank Jinshi, and so on.

But no matter how it is called, in fact, the core of the three stages of the nine-turn stage is not the slightest difference.However, those below three ranks are regarded as ordinary cultivators, while those above four ranks belong to the extraordinary stage.

All the inconceivable methods of monks started at this stage.As for the semi-sages after rank seven, they are called demigods in the West, and they have already surpassed the human level and are moving towards another level of life.

However, the cultivation world of Great Xia has been sluggish for so many years, and for hundreds of years, there are only a handful of people who have been able to change jobs four times, which shows how difficult and desirable it is.

So the monks who are closely related to the great Confucianism suddenly appeared in a grand manner, which is very attractive.

Cheng Zhanping saw that Zhang Buyi was lost in thought, and he gradually understood. He said in an unusually bachelor way: "So of course I am active. After all, if you go to the leader, I think I can get a lot of benefits in exchange. You don't need to be besieged." I'm so upset, I'm hiding here."

"Unexpectedly, Pindao is really a Tang monk!" Zhang Buyi smiled wryly, and said in surprise: "In that case, why didn't your lord mention it in front of Pindao before?"

"Hey, don't you think that you, the Taoist priest, are such a virtuous person that you look down on the circle of our small place, so you simply don't lick your face and come to the Taoist priest." Cheng Zhanping replied bluntly and simply road.

Zhang Buyi drank the tea in his hand and said: "Since that's the case, then Master Cheng can accompany Pindao for a while. To be honest, it seems that Pindao has never set foot in Daxia's unofficial practice circle."

Cheng Zhanping was overjoyed when he heard the words: "I'll tell you how long you can't eat fireworks on earth. Let's go for a walk. These few days happen to have this little party every day."

While speaking, he still did not forget to activate two messenger symbols and tell what.

Seeing this, Zhang Buyi got up and followed him, walking towards the outside of the government office.

······
After leaving the government office, Cheng Zhanping led Zhang Buyi and walked in one direction, the journey seemed unusually lively.

For example, not far from the county government office, there was a young girl in her twenties and eight years who was as beautiful as a flower, kneeling on the side of the street they passed by, with grass signs on her head, selling her body to bury her father, crying so much that she wanted to refuse and was ashamed, which was very provocative pity.

Cheng Zhanping passed by him expressionlessly, and so did Zhang Buyi.

"My life is so miserable, Dad, why did you leave like this all of a sudden!" When passing by the other party, the woman suddenly burst into tears, heart-piercing, I felt pity.

Cheng Zhanping glanced at Zhang Buyi and said, "Would you like to show mercy?"

The corner of Zhang Buyi's mouth twitched, he glared at Cheng Zhanping, and continued walking with no expression on his face.

After watching Zhang Buyi and the others leave, the woman gritted her teeth and wanted to get up.At this time, an upright old man in his 50s and [-]s stepped forward and asked with concern, "Girl, I wonder how much you want to sell it for?"

The woman accepted all the delicate expressions, and gave the other party a cold look. The other party's back felt chills, and then she pointed at the corpse in front of her and said, "I'll see you off!"

Veteran: "???"

What made the old man even more terrified was that as the woman left, her dead father suddenly got up, spit at the old man, and said, "Dai, what a fucking bad luck, don't look at yourself thing!"

After saying that, he left in a hurry with a dead face on his face.

The old man was so frightened that he stood there for a long time, and then he came back to his senses after a while, and walked to his house in fear. In the past half month, there have been more and more strange people in the city.

······
On the other side, Zhang Buyi and Cheng Zhanping continued to walk down the street, and met two groups of people selling their bodies to bury their mothers and uncles.The corners of Zhang Buyi's mouth twitched.

Cheng Zhanping took a look at Zhang Buyi and said, "Ha, it seems like this official has no way to govern. In the past half a month, there have been more and more people who prostitute themselves."

Zhang Buyi heard the sarcasm in the other party's words, and glared at the other party again, but did not answer.

In fact, this matter has something to do with him, and it was caused by the great Confucianism.Before, he didn't know that the power of Confucianism was so terrifying, so after posting the article, he didn't feel any difference, and continued his daily life.

But on the third day after that, he suddenly met all kinds of poor people, including many new monks.Although he didn't understand why professionals were doing so badly, he didn't think much about it.

After all, junior apprentices in the first level are indeed not much better than ordinary people. If they are younger, they are really ordinary people.

So he acted out of compassion, saved a child, and brought him back to the mansion, originally intending to raise him as a boy.

Then it got out of hand, the people he met before decreased, and the people with miserable life experiences increased, and they would always appear when he was traveling, as if Luzhou had instantly turned into a purgatory on earth.

The little brat sells miserably, the young man's family is in trouble, and he even saw an old man who was a second-rank overhaul, doing something impoverished and his children's unfilial miraculous operations, infinitely insulting Zhang Buyi's lower limit of IQ.

After that, Zhang Buyi realized in an instant that he should have been arranged. After going back to check, he found out that it was caused by various casual cultivators who sensed his temperament from his background.

Of course, most of those who did this were low-level casual cultivators, just like the baby before, who wanted to have a relationship with Zhang Buyi.

That's right, the baby that Zhang Buyi took in at the beginning was also an old Jianghu... She still stays in the Hu's mansion until now, mingling with the two brothers of the Hu family, showing that she doesn't intend to leave.
