Chapter 176
Jing Bai handed the check to Wen Shuo and said frankly: "I originally thought that I could save as much as possible, because the investment has been too large in recent times, so the funds on hand are not very abundant."
"So you are not stupid." Wen Shuo took the check and looked carefully.
"Don't worry, it was borrowed from Guo Shenghua in the morning." Jing Bai sighed softly, not knowing how many times he had sighed today - in the past, he was mostly pretending to be just to show his kindness and helplessness of compassion and helplessness. But every time he sighed today, he was really sighing, helpless.
"Guo Shenghua?" Wen Shuo was a little surprised, took out a book from his shoulder bag, carefully put the check in and put it in.
"Now, you can remove the magic array in Yiqiang's body, right?" Jing Bai said.
"No need." Wen Shuo said carelessly: "At most one week, the magic circle will naturally be lifted, so that I can save me any effort from starting the game, right? I am a person who is trustworthy and has obtained the money, so I will definitely not go back on my word."
"You..." Jing Bai was speechless.
Xing Yiqiang was even more angry - no one could bear it, and his life was controlled by others. Even if it was, the other party promised not to go back on his word, even if it was, the magic circle would naturally be lifted in one week.
But Xing Yiqiang didn't dare to refute anything, for fear of angering this hateful, dangerous, and neurotic fat man.
"Yiqiang, you go back first." Jing Bai suddenly said.
"Oh." Xing Yiqiang responded, although he showed doubts, he did not dare to ask and turned around and left.
"Wen Shuo." Jing Bai called Wen Shuo, who was about to leave, and smiled and said, "It's already noon now. If it's convenient, can you have a meal together?"
"What are you doing?" Wen Shuo said vigilantly.
Jing Bai smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's nothing else, I just want to... talk to you and make friends."
"Friend?" Wen Shuo curled his lips and said, "It would be nice if we don't make enemies, we'll be friends..."
"We are different from ordinary people." Jing Bai said seriously.
Wen Shuo frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then sat back on the stone and said, "I'm free to eat. You said just now that you don't have enough funds, so you can save as much as possible. If you have anything, just say it here."
Jing Bai nodded and said disrespectfully: "I'll ask you, can you tell me about your teacher?"
"No." Wen Shuo answered very simply.
"Well, I'm sorry." Jing Bai was not angry and asked again: "How many Xuanshi have you ever contacted before he had contacted me and Yiqiang?"
Wen Shuo was stunned for a moment and said to the truth: "There is no one except for old age...my master."
"Yes, there are too few Xuanshi who truly practice the mysterious method." Jing Bai sighed lightly, stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the lake with a vicissitudes of expression. When the spring breeze was dissatisfied, whistling wildly, blew up layers of waves on the lakeside, and the weeping willow branches danced wildly.
The fat man looked up and down at the master who was worried about the country and the people, feeling angry and jealous. This guy looked so good!
Just because of this image is enough to deceive people.
So the fat man thought badly: "I sigh, it's a big deal, the streets are full of real mysterious men. Is it your turn to make money easily? As the saying goes, things are precious because they are rare. If you don't understand such a simple principle, you are still showing off your makeup in front of me!"
Jing Bai pretended for a long time, but now Wen Shuo didn't ask him. He couldn't help but feel embarrassed, but his face still maintained a vicissitudes of worrying about the country and the people, and he took the initiative to say: "Actually, there were many Xuanshi a long time ago."
"Oh." Wen Shuo responded indifferently, purely out of politeness.
Jing Bai was embarrassed again and said, "Do you know why there are very few now?"
"I don't know." Wen Shuo said honestly.
Jing Bai choked for a moment, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Since human civilization, the prosperity and decline of metaphysics in the long river of Chinese history for thousands of years have often been closely related to the changes of dynasties. As the saying goes, "When turbulent times rise and metaphysics decline; when the prosperous times bring peace to the prosperous times, metaphysics gradually revives." You and I have the honor to be born in the era of peace and peace in Taiping. The prosperity of the country is coming, and metaphysics will surely be revived."
"Oh." Wen Shuo responded again, thinking that the revival of metaphysics has nothing to do with me?
Jing Bai felt his scalp numb, his patience was reduced, and his anger rushed to his head. He turned his head and frowned and showed an angry expression. He stared at the innocent and indifferent fat man, gritted his teeth and growled: "Wen Shuo, as a Xuanshi who practiced Xuanshi and as the inheritor of his own sect, you must be responsible!"
"Hey, hey, why are you so fierce? Do you want to bite people?" Wen Shuo glared, rolled up his sleeves and stood up angrily, "Be careful again, I will beat you!"
"You..." Jing Bai was speechless.
He found that he was playing the piano with a cow just now, no, he was talking about vegetarianism against a fierce polar bear!
Seeing Jing Bai's stunned expression, Wen Shuo looked like a gangster who had the upper hand in the street provocation. He snorted with his face and snorted back to the stone with satisfaction. This way, Jing Bai couldn't help but feel contemptuous, but he had to be wary and afraid - because often such gangsters are the most unscrupulous and do whatever they want. Coupled with the eloquence that Wen Shuo showed before, he was full of truth...
You can't threaten him with such a person with so-called revenge.
Because he doesn't know what fear is, if you take revenge on him, he will take revenge on you more fiercely.
The so-called young and vigorous calf is the so-called newborn calf...
Just when Jing Bai was upset and didn't know what to do, Wen Shuo said: "Do I have the sense of responsibility to inherit the mysterious method? It's not your turn to be sad and angry in front of me. OK, if you want to tell me the history and past of metaphysics, I'm also interested in listening. If you want to do something about forming cliques, then let's not talk."
The second half of the sentence immediately changed Jing Bai's perception of Wen Shuo just now, and couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that you still understand what I said."
"Nonsense, do you think I'm stupid?" Wen Shuo snorted.
"It has been more than a hundred years since the metaphysics decline." Jing Bai's expression was once again filled with vicissitudes and sighed: "This period was too long, and he experienced too many wars and changes in power and power. God knows how many metaphysics sects have cut off their inheritance during this period. Since the reform and opening up, I have traveled all over the country, seeking people with excellent qualifications to practice as disciples, and it is also to meet more fellow practitioners... Unfortunately, today, you are the sixth mysterious scholar I have met who truly practices metaphysics."
"So little?" Wen Shuo couldn't help but be surprised, then frowned and shook his head, saying, "Not everyone is so arrogant like you. Everyone is willing to keep a low profile to avoid trouble. Well, there is nothing we can do about it."
Jing Bai nodded and said, "The times are different. I can understand and think of it. However, in such a large base of people, I only met six people in twenty years, which is enough to show that the number of Xuanshi is too small. Do you know? In the history of a hundred years ago, when metaphysics was at its peak, the rivers and lakes were prosperous, and there were even real immortals who ascended in the sun and turned into rainbows and rode dragons. At that time, there were many sects and Xuanshi gathered, and they called Xuanshi Jianghu..."
Looking at Jing Bai's moving expression, the fat man was not moved by his words at all, because he felt that these words were too nonsense.
Xuanmen River?
Many sects?
And there are many mysterious men gathering?
This is barely enough to believe it.
But the true immortal who ascended in the sun and turned into a rainbow and left by the dragon is too outrageous. Although last year, when I learned that the mysterious method was true, Wen Shuo had imagined many times that one day he could ascend to the legendary immortal, and he also hoped to find the treasure book of cultivation in an archaeological manner. But after careful consideration, he felt that legends were legends after all, and myths were myths. It was nothing more than some ordinary abilities displayed by later generations based on the metaphysics and exaggerated fabrication. Otherwise, why did so many powerful true immortals and holy Buddhas in history never come down to earth to save all living beings during any greatest crisis?
As for the fabrication of the Romance in the novel where there are barriers and no interference and no interactions between the three realms, it is even more unreliable.
One talks about the great compassion of gods, Buddhas and immortals in the sky; two talks about the immortals who come down to earth to save suffering; three talks about the underworld who sends people to seek life, and the evil people go to the eighteen levels of hell to be punished... All the things in themselves are already at the extreme.
As for the Xuanmen River, it is all the old calendar.
Nowadays, the world will surely be destroyed immediately. You are the trash who will only stick out your head to enjoy the prosperous times and quickly calm down in the troubled times.
Thinking of this, Wen Shuo couldn't help but be deeply proud of his wisdom and his understanding of Xuan Shi's weaknesses. He glanced at Jing Bai and asked, "How many disciples do you have?"
“Three.”
"Who is Xing Yiqiang?"
"Boss."
Wen Shuo gave a thumbs up and praised: "It's amazing! Then you will definitely become a master in the future, with a group of disciples under your command, and then establish the largest sect in the Xuanmen River."
"This is my small goal in life." Jing Bai nodded, unable to hear the disdain in Wen Shuo's words, and said seriously: "The biggest goal is to work hard for the revival of the Xuanmen River and Lake, and strive to see the prosperity of the river and lake in his lifetime."
"Oh, I admire you. There is really a day in the future. I hope you will take care of it." Wen Shuo stood up and said, "I have to go to have dinner quickly. There will be class in the afternoon."
"Wen Shuo..."
"Um?"
"From the future, please contact me..." Jing Bai took out a business card and handed it over.
As the saying goes, "If you don't hit people with a smile," Wen Shuo was alert and did not dare to be interested in Jing Bai's words. After hesitating, he took Jing Bai's business card and said, "I want to say something, I still hope that we will contact you less in the future."
Jing Bai smiled and said, "I believe you will contact me on your own initiative."
