Lord of Earth Fiend

Chapter 171 I'm a cultivator, who do I have to explain to?

As someone who has experienced it, Su Xiaowen has a wealth of experience and taught Chen Jin earnestly, which benefited Chen Jin a lot.

Fame and official career looks bright, but it is the most dirty and dangerous. People follow their hearts and human nature, and they are easily influenced, which distorts changes.

If you regard this as a practice, it is appropriate. Every step you take is full of demons, full of bewitching meaning.

Su Xiaowen said again: "First you win, but if you can't win, then you repel, let you hit a wall everywhere, have no way out, naturally you have to bow your knees to them, this is the usual method of the elite. Ordinary scholars can't bear it at all. In the end They will all choose to cling. For them, it is also a good choice to enjoy the shade under the big tree. After all, if you want to stand out, you must choose to stand in line."

Chen Jin smiled: "Actually, I don't dislike standing in line, but the premise must be willing, not under threat or coercion."

"Hehe, if you are a powerful family member, you will naturally appear domineering if you have developed an aura. Perhaps in their view, it is your honor to be willing to recruit you."

"Indeed..."

Chen Jin narrowed his eyes.

At that time, Father Chen was also emerging in Jiangzhou, and he received the attention of the Wang family, who wanted to recruit him into his family.There is another key factor in it. Someone in the Wang family has taken a fancy to Chen's mother.

However, Chen's father saw through the other party's plot and resolutely refused to follow. Then he was framed, his life was in turmoil, and finally he died without knowing why.

After this blow, Chen's mother was in a depressed mood, she fell ill during pregnancy and childbirth, and passed away at a young age...

This is the source of Chen Jin's background, and the Wang family is the current Patriarch Wang Zhixiang.

Time has passed, and after so many years, the other party has long forgotten about this matter.

For Wang, it is easy to frame a scholar who has no background.

As for the damage done, who cares?
Chen Jin left Lingnan and chose Jiangzhou instead of other places as the first stop when he entered the Central Plains. Part of the reason was to avenge his parents.

Being human in two lifetimes is not a blood feud, but turned into an obsession, a thing that must be done.

Otherwise, what's the use of learning a sword?
But the Wang family is powerful, and Wang Zhixiang, as the head of the family, is not so easy to get close to.Even though Chen Jin is a monk and has mastered various spells, it is still difficult for him to break into Wangjiaxiang.

It's all because Wang Zhixiang himself is a master, and among the Wang family, there are a lot of masters, and there are even several monks enshrining them. They have a profound background, and there is still a lot of unknown strength hidden in them.

During the days of living in Jiangzhou, consciously or unconsciously, Chen Jin collected a lot of information about the Wang family.

But obviously, these intelligences are relatively superficial.

Therefore, he has been holding back all along, looking for a suitable time.

Up to now, because of several poems, Wang Yubao has been attracted.

Wang Yubao was in charge of wooing him on the bright side, but if he failed to woo him, all kinds of ostracism were then arranged...

This method seems familiar.

Su Xiaowen said it was his experience, so why not Father Chen?

It's like a reincarnation.

The difference is that Chen Jin is no longer a weak scholar who has no ability to resist.

After talking about this matter, Su Xiaowen changed the subject: "Conservation, the erosion of the Confucian Temple, can't it be solved?"

Chen Jin looked at the gray-black "Tess" in the corner, and shook his head: "I have thought of many ways, but at present I can only suppress them and prevent them from spreading."

Su Xiaowen sighed: "It seems that something happened to Jiangzhou Confucian Temple."

Chen Jin asked: "Teacher, will something happen to the saints of the Confucian Temple?"

Su Xiaowen sighed dejectedly: "The world is in turmoil, the government is chaotic, and everything will change. When ghosts, ghosts, and snake gods prevail, all righteous gods will be impacted, causing them to wither and decline, so that they are beyond recognition. As for the specifics, I am a dead soul of Confucianism. Can you understand it?"

Chen Jin nodded, this is the trend of the times, unpredictable and irreversible.

After leaving the inner landscape, stop thinking about it and continue to practice hard: relying on others is not as good as relying on oneself, as long as one's cultivation level is improved, the problem will become easier.

……

"Son."

When Chu Xiucai came today, she drooped her head.

Chen Jin noticed that there were bruises on his cheeks, it was obvious that he had been beaten: "The wolf gang is here again?"

"It's not the Wolf Gang, it's the Maitreya Sect. They want to charge more for the incense in the store. I went up and argued a few words, and then I was beaten."

The Maitreya religion in Jiangzhou recovered quickly, and its momentum was even stronger than before, with more and more believers.It was a mess and a mess.

Chen Jin looked at him, and suddenly said, "Chu Xiucai, I don't want to run Sanwei Study anymore."

Chu Xiucai was taken aback, as if he understood something: this store didn't have much business, and it didn't make any money at all.Recently, Chen Jin seldom goes to the store.In addition, the wolf gang collects insurance premiums, and the Maitreya sect collects incense money, etc., and it is simply exhausting.

That being the case, why do it again?
It's better to close the door and get a peace of mind.

"My lord, I see. When will the transfer sign be posted?"

Chen Jin said: "Don't bother, I've calculated, the rent is only about half a month left, just don't renew it. As for the pens, inks and papers left in the store, I will take them all to use at home, and let you deal with the other books."

"Do it for me?"

Chu Xiucai was surprised, quickly waved his hands and said, "No way."

Although there are not many books in the store, they are also valuable goods, and they add up to a considerable amount of money.

Chen Jin smiled and said: "Chu Xiucai, you have been working in the store for such a long time, you have worked hard, and you have to work hard without credit. Those are regarded as severance pay. Take it and sell it for cash. Maybe you can make up enough." tuition fees for admission."

Hearing the word "Jinxue", Chu Xiucai's heart was agitated, and he bowed down to respectfully bow to Chen Jin: "Thank you so much, my lord, I will never forget the kindness of rebuilding."

Chen Jin helped him up: "That's it, you just do what I tell you."

"Ok."

Chu Xiucai said goodbye and left.

Watching his back, Chen Jin looked calm: Of course, the decision to close the shop was not because of the Maitreya Sect Wolf Gang, or Wang's or something. In fact, he had such an idea a long time ago.

When I first opened a store, I didn't see it as a long-term business, so I chose leasing.The original intention of opening the Sanwei Study Room was to pave the way for "Li Yan Pian", so as to facilitate the sale of words and books, etc. Now that poetry has become famous, "33 Anthology" is a big hit, and Li Yan is considered a small success, there is no need for low-level sales methods.

Therefore, it is logical to close the study, which can save a lot of trouble and cost.

pretty good.

……

The news of the closure of the Sanwei Study quickly spread to Wang Yujun. The talented Wang smiled very well, with an air of sure victory: "I said earlier, he won't last long."

Wang Yubao said: "Maybe it's just because of the business downturn?"

"Maybe, but who cares? A shop is irrelevant, what matters is the qualifications for the exam, which is the lifeblood of a scholar. As long as this point is choked, no student can bear it. Can be obedient."

Wang Yujun drank wine and ate meat.

Looking at this cousin, Wang Yubao's inner meaning is difficult to understand: the characters of the two cousins ​​are different, one is rough and rough, likes to linger in a romantic place, and is a bohemian romantic talent; gentle gentleman.

But a talented man and a gentleman are just two masks that show up.

Behind the mask, the two are the seeds of Wang's study, and they are the best of the younger generation.

To be a seed in a famous family, is it enough to study hard?
Warriors rely on force to gain a foothold, but those who study literature rely on scheming to rule others. The sage said: Those who work hard with their minds rule others, and those who work hard rule others.

Wang Yujun said again: "The exam will start in August, and now it's almost March, and there is not much time left for him. If you miss this year, you will have to wait for three years. Three years and three years, how many three years are there in life?" ? When the time is wasted, he can only be a 'clothed man'."

Wang Yubao said: "If you really don't know how to praise, don't know how to advance and retreat, you can get fame with such a temperament, can you please it? It's better to hang out in the literary world and put your love on mountains and rivers. At least you can live better."

Wang Yujun looked at him: "So you are committed to pulling him into the poetry club?"

Wang Yubao smiled and said: "The Ci he wrote is indeed very good. With such poetic talent and literary talent, it should not be bad for writing Qing Ci."

There are gossip rumors that the new emperor admires Taoism and loves Qing Ci.

Wang Yujun was stunned for a moment, with a smile that was not a smile: "Cousin Yu Bao, so you have thought so far."

Wang Yubao replied: "Since I am in charge of the poetry club, I should plan ahead and do more things."

Wang Yujun said sternly: "That's right, the current situation seems to have settled the overall situation, but it always feels a little strange, and our Wang family has to wake up to deal with it."

The so-called "famous families" used to have not only five families, but several families. However, due to the changing situation, some families were eventually destroyed and ceased to exist because they were on the wrong team or for other reasons.

The world is free, and the vicissitudes of life, who can last forever?

It is said that "a century-old dynasty, a thousand-year family", in fact, there are very few clans that can really last for a thousand years.

Compared with real aristocratic families, famous families are much more fragile.

The reason why the Wang family can stand upright is not only its own background and knowledge of current affairs, but also the unity within the clan is also one of the important factors.

Now, the two young talents of the new generation are very united when they are on the same page.

……

Interpersonal relationships are like strands of silk. When the strands are gathered together to form a net, it will show great control and restraint.

Gu Leyou is well versed in this. After coming to Jiangzhou, he met various people through many channels and interacted with each other. He just wanted to build a network of relationships.

It's just that his foundation is shallow, and the social network he managed to build with great difficulty encountered another, more powerful and wider network, which suddenly seemed vulnerable and fell to pieces.

The big fish eats the small fish, and the big net covers the small net, the essence is the same.

But Gu Leyou is optimistic and open-minded, he doesn't feel that he has lost much, and he is more worried about Chen Jin.

Chen Jin was targeted and suppressed by the Wang family, and his way to study was hindered in every way, and he still didn't know how to solve it.

When Nie Feng came to the Taoist Temple, although he was named "Deputy Temple Master", he spent most of his time doing things in the escort agency, and he didn't go in and out of the Taoist Temple much.

But the situation is not good now, and I am so anxious that I can't come if I don't come.

"I have seen my brother."

Gu Leyou looked at him: "What's the matter?"

Nie Feng smiled wryly, "Brother, didn't you ask the question knowingly?"

In the matter of brewing and producing Duobao Wine, Zhenfeng Escort has invested a lot of resources in the early stage, and attaches great importance to it, hoping to show its strength.I didn't expect to make such a fuss now, like a duck being strangled by the neck, it is very uncomfortable.

If you give up at this point, it is tantamount to wasting all previous efforts; but if you want to continue, you don't know how to start.

dilemma.

So Nie Zhenggang asked Nie Feng to come to the Taoist temple and have a heart-to-heart talk with Gu Leyou, so as to make a decision.

Gu Leyou said: "Junior brother, I told you at the beginning that the business of selling wine cannot be smooth sailing, and there are bound to be various obstacles."

Nie Feng said: "But now it is the Wang family who offended... The most embarrassing thing is that this matter has nothing to do with us, but we were implicated innocently."

"so what?"

Gu Leyou sneered: "A friend has an accident, and you are in a hurry to get rid of the relationship? Cut off the relationship?"

Nie Feng said embarrassingly: "That's not necessary... It's just this matter, I have to come up with a charter so that I can explain it."

Gu Leyou jumped up at the case: "I am a cultivator, and he walks towards the sky, who do I have to explain to?"

Nie Feng: "..."

Gu Leyou snorted: "Before I did this, I told you all of the dangers, but now something went wrong, Senior Huang and the others withdrew their shares, and I didn't stop them, so if Junior Brother and Zhenfeng Security Bureau are afraid, You can also leave."

Nie Feng hurriedly said: "Senior Brother, I didn't mean that. I came today to ask Senior Brother for an idea."

Gu Leyou sat down again: "Speaking of which, why should we be in a hurry? The wine hasn't been brewed yet. Because of such a trivial matter, we messed up and made people laugh in vain."

Nie Feng couldn't help but said, "The other party is the Wang family."

"What about Mrs. Wang?"

Gu Leyou still looked like he didn't care. He had known Chen Jin for a long time and had seen many storms, but was there a time when Chen Jin was at a disadvantage?Even in the face of the prefect of a state, he still faced it calmly, and finally wiped out the other party.

So, of course, he had confidence in Chen Jin, and thought that Chen Jin would definitely have a solution, but he didn't come up with it for the time being.

Nie Feng: "..."

But he felt speechless, wondering if Gu Leyou was a dead duck or an outsider, and he didn't have a clear understanding of Wang's strength.

In short, these words sound like words of anger.For example, the previous sentence: "I am a cultivator, who do I have to explain to"...

Is this inappropriate tone of voice?

But after thinking about it carefully, Gu Leyou is indeed a bachelor, with no family and no family, and if the trouble really gets out of hand, he can leave with a pat on the butt.

The problem is that Nie Feng can't do it. The foundation of their family is in the Escort Bureau. Their ancestors lived in Jiangzhou. If they leave their hometown, they will be useless.

I had to ask patiently: "Brother, do you mean to wait and see?"

Gu Leyou nodded and said: "That's right, even if Mrs. Wang can cover the sky with one hand, someone will poke a hole in the sky, you just have to look around."

Nie Feng almost rolled his eyes: With this tone, I'm not afraid of being tongue-tied by the wind...
