Chapter 100 Anti-smoking plan
After spending a whole night's work, Lin Cheng finally pried open the mouths of the local gentry one by one and obtained evidence that they were selling opium.

If you don't ask, you don't know. If you ask, you will be shocked.

These grandsons are not just selling opium, they are even trying to produce it themselves!

It turns out that in the late Qing Dynasty, there were many big businessmen and big landowners who saw the huge profits from the opium trade, so they introduced technology from abroad for cultivation and production.

They are also very good at being people, and they never lack the filial piety they should have, so the people above them turn a blind eye to this matter.

In fact, such situations are not uncommon across the country.

In the past, in order to increase fiscal revenue, the Qing government also encouraged the private sector to produce, market and sell opium by themselves, and widely planted opium poppy, the original plant for refining opium, throughout the country.

During the Republic of China, although on the surface, we were constantly fighting against opium.

But the irony is that the anti-smoking campaign that lasted almost throughout the Republic of China was just like the dilemma of smokers who are trying to quit smoking.

The poison of opium is always difficult to understand.

After learning the true situation, Lin Cheng fell into silence.

In his original plan, as long as he got evidence that these turtles were selling opium, he could hand them over to the court for disposal in an open and honest manner.

By the way, I would like to give some credit to the county magistrate here, the servant of the Ren family he sent.

But he really didn't expect that the water here was so deep.

The regime of the Republic of China is really rotten, absolutely rotten!
The big officials in the feudal frontiers all supported the opium business and took a commission from it, which made Lin Cheng feel very powerless.

He estimated that even if he filed a complaint, the elder brother would not pay attention to him and would even arrest him.

Thinking of this, Lin Cheng's eyes sharpened and a cold light flashed.

'Since the government doesn't care, then he will do justice for God himself! '

He ordered his men to call Liuzi in.

Lin Cheng looked at Liuzi who had changed into a Tsing Yi short shirt and looked confident. After a moment of silence, he said softly:

"Liuzi, how long have you been following me?"

Liuzi scratched his head and replied with a smile:

"It's been almost half a year. My disciple has a bad memory and can't remember clearly."

Lin Cheng nodded when he heard this. Almost half a year ago, Zhang Mazi asked Lin Cheng to accept six sons as his apprentices on the condition of helping him train the guards.

At that time, Lin Cheng also agreed and held a simple apprenticeship ceremony for Liu Zi.

However, the current six disciples are not officially Maoshan disciples, they can only be regarded as registered disciples.

If you want to officially register in Maoshan, you must cultivate to at least the third level of human master.

This condition may seem very simple, but in fact, in the age of the end of the Dharma, it is already a very high threshold.

There are countless cultivators in the world, at least half of them are wandering on the first and second levels of the human division.

The sixth son entered the field too late, and his qualifications were not very good, so it would be difficult for him to achieve anything in his life.

"Now there is something suitable for you to do."

"This is a big matter, related to your life's destiny, so I need to ask your opinion first."

Lin Cheng looked at Liu Zi and said seriously.

Hearing this, Liuzi said without any hesitation:

"Master, if you have anything to do, just give me your orders. The six sons will definitely obey you!"

In the past six months, Lin Cheng's careful teaching and meticulous care for Liu Zi can be felt by Liu Zi.

It's just that Liu Zi really doesn't have the talent to learn Taoism, and because of his age, he has never been able to enter Taoism.

When Lin Cheng saw that his six sons were unable to learn Taoism, he asked him to learn martial arts. In addition to having the four guards teach him martial arts, he also used precious medicinal baths to train his body every day.

Although today's six sons have not learned Taoism, their strength is far from what it was in the past.

All this was given to him by Lin Cheng.

Liu Zi is a very pure person. Whoever treats him well will be returned tenfold.

If anyone treats him as family, he will work hard for them!

This is the way Liuzi behaves.

Therefore, when Lin Cheng asked him to help with something, Liuzi agreed without hesitation.

In Liuzi's heart, Lin Cheng was already second only to Zhang Mazi. "Master hasn't finished speaking yet, why are you interrupting!"

Lin Cheng glared at Liuzi, and when he saw him touching his head, he snorted coldly and continued:
"You came into contact with Taoism too late, and it will be difficult for you to achieve anything in this life."

"I asked my master to go to Daoyuan Pavilion and ask. There are no exercises suitable for you, but with your qualifications, it is difficult to learn them."

"You are different from Master, you are too stupid!"

Six sons: .
Master, next time you show off, can you save a little face for your apprentice?
"If you want to become enlightened, the only way besides reincarnation is to let God open your eyes and let Heaven help you!"

"There are many idiots like you in all the worlds. They have grown old and suddenly become enlightened and become invincible in the world in just a few years."

"Why, because they are favored by heaven and are children of luck!"

Lin Chengke ignored his apprentice's thoughts and said directly.

Liuzi became even more confused when he heard this. He still knew how much he weighed. In his words, his father had not cared for his mother since he was a child.

Why can he get the favor of heaven?
It’s too late to have plastic surgery now, and if you have plastic surgery, can you be more handsome than Master?
How can it be!

"Some people are born children of luck, while others have great achievements in the world and earn their own status as children of luck."

"Right now, there is something that may allow you to gain God's favor!"

Lin Cheng said seriously.

Oh?
Liuzi was moved when he heard the words. Ever since he saw the magic of Taoism, he really wanted to seek Taoism. However, due to his limited qualifications, he could not enter the gate of Taoism.

Now that the master said there was a way for him to become enlightened, how could he not be excited?

"Master, just tell me what I should do."

Liuzi said with an itchy heart.

Lin Cheng nodded and said seriously:
"Today's opium is rampant in the land of China, and the Chinese people are suffering from it, and it has reached a point where it has to be eradicated."

"If you can eliminate the scourge of opium in China, you will have done great service to the world, and the son of destiny will be just around the corner."

Liuzi's eyes lit up. Is there such a thing?

Lin Cheng looked at his overjoyed apprentice and poured cold water on him:

"But now the opium business has become the source of wealth for many powerful people. If you want to eliminate the scourge of opium, you have to make enemies of many powerful people and even warlords."

"When the time comes, there will inevitably be corpses scattered everywhere and rivers of blood flowing."

"While heaven and earth are blessing you, you will be infected with boundless evil. Even the people who are addicted to drugs will resent you."

"For those who practice Taoism, the most important thing is cause and effect."

"If you are burdened with debts, it will be very difficult to survive the catastrophe of ascension."

Cultivation is never achieved overnight. If you want to become a Taoist, you have to go through many difficulties and dangers.

Some people may wonder, it is very easy for those who are born with good luck to become enlightened, and the way of heaven is obviously unfair.

In fact, even if you are a child of luck, your enlightenment experience is not smooth sailing.

Every child of destiny has a mission.

Work for Tiandao, and Tiandao will protect you. This is more like a transaction.

But once the mission is completed, Heaven will ruthlessly abandon it.

This is the reason why most children of good fortune will be miserable in their later years.

There are very few people who can seize the opportunity and truly escape their fate.

Lin Cheng looked at Liu Zi, sighed and said:
"Okay, I'll explain the pros and cons to you. It's up to you to decide how to choose."

Liuzi smiled and said without any hesitation:
"Master, my qualifications are dull. If I follow the rules, I will stay like this for the rest of my life."

"It's better to take a gamble. The worst possible outcome is death. There's nothing to be afraid of."

Hearing this, Lin Cheng looked at Liu Zi seriously and confirmed again:

"Decided?"

Liuzi nodded and said with a smile:
"Decided!"

"If he died for the sake of banning smoking, his tombstone in the future would be bigger than others. What should he be afraid of?"

Seeing his apprentice so free and easy, Lin Cheng also smiled and said:
"Don't worry, if you die, I will flatten a mountain to make a tombstone for you!"
