05896 - sooner or later numbness

The experience of the initial transformation often contains the dark history of the demon cultivators and their roots, so that the demon cultivators don't want to recall very much, but they often need to recall; they want to hide carefully, but they are often hidden before they can effectively hide. Too many people know.

For example, Parrot Yao Bingsu's experience before turning into a demon... It's just too unfortunate. Nian Xuan, Que Mo, Jiang Mei, senior brother, and every disciple of Yunxia Sect that Nian Xuan and others asked for help in that punishment mission, still pay attention In the Demon League who has gone through the whole process of this matter, there may be hundreds of fellow daoists who have just reached the level of 'detailed knowledge'.Shao Gangming probably received the same treatment back then. Even if he halved the number of attention he received considering that his affairs had little to do with outside sects, then... half of the hundreds seems to be still hundreds?

These insiders chatted with other Taoist friends, or talked a few times in Shazhuan, and continued this expansion behavior for hundreds of years... Shao Gangming probably didn't bother to care about how many people knew about him Black history details.

In the same way, Fellow Daoist Bingsu will become numb in the future.

While I was staring at Shao Gangming's portrait, Ni Sheng began to tentatively contact the new county magistrate, Fang Huixi.The effect was catastrophic, Fang Huixi had already caught him in his pocket before the first round of contact was over.

In fact, if Ni Sheng is as determined to escape this time as he was in Ducheng, it is not impossible to escape. After all, Fang Huixi has just arrived, and the manpower he can call is far less than that of the Tao and Li families in Ducheng. The appeal in Huangzhai County is not as good as that of Ni Sheng, so unless Fang Huixi directly tied Ni Sheng in his room and stared at him for a moment, it would be impossible to completely block all the channels for Ni Sheng to leave Huangzhai County. .

Ni Sheng: "I just think... the new county magistrate is quite interesting. I want to stay and see how far he can go. And I'm really curious about when and under what circumstances his painting was mine. drawn."

Me: "Can't you remember anything?"

Ni Sheng: "Mr. Pei, take a look at my work efficiency after arriving in Huangzhai County. It is said that I deal with one commission a day, but the preliminary work of a commission lasts for at least a few days. In my early years, I was more diligent, ten times a day There are also a few orders, and it is impossible to remember all of them.”

Me: "But drawing a picture is more troublesome than talking casually."

Ni Sheng: "No, that painting doesn't take much trouble at all, it takes about the same time to say two sentences. How about I draw one for you?"

I nodded in agreement, so Ni Sheng really showed me his fast painting.Not only is the painting faster, but it is also better looking than Shao Gangming's.

05897-A matter of fate

Ni Sheng: "In the early days, my painting skills were really bad, so I just chose an artistic conception. If the county magistrate Fang really likes that painting, I can give him dozens of new ones, and all of them are better than that one."

That one can turn demons, can the others?

Ni Sheng: "However, according to the poor painting skills, I can at least draw a range for the completion time of the painting, but unfortunately, that range is the heyday of my making money from painting, and sometimes it can sell dozens of dollars a day." Zhang...I really can't remember."

Me: "Actually, if you take the painting and calligraphy line seriously, you might become a celebrity of the generation." The foolish paintings for cheating money can show a bit or two of artistic conception even if they are obviously rough, and the serious paintings are even more amazing.The delicacy of the painting surface can be achieved with skill, which can be learned with a lot of time, but artistic conception and feeling require talent, and Ni Sheng just has this talent.

Ni Sheng: "Painting as a career? Hard work and no money. Don't do it."

Me: "Have you ever heard of Taoism through painting?"

Ni Sheng: "Do you know that I don't have spiritual roots?"

Me: "Do you know that Wulinggen can be cultivated under special conditions?"

Ni Sheng: "You also said that it is a 'special condition'. There is another term called 'extreme condition', which means that ordinary people cannot do it, especially those who are lazy and hardworking. If I have the easy conditions to practice, I still want to practice. Yes, not to mention anything else, can you run faster after being caught cheating? Unfortunately, the reality is too difficult, so I gave up."

Me: "If one of your friends has a chance to cultivate, and you gave him this chance, how would you feel?"

Ni Sheng: "How can I give others the opportunity to cultivate if I can't cultivate?"

Me: "Sometimes fate is unclear. For example, a sentence from you may give me some insights, and then I will be promoted to a small level. This is also considered to be the opportunity you have given me to cultivate."

Ni Sheng: "I don't think it's right. It should be that you found an opportunity from me, not that I gave you an opportunity. The initiative is on you. I don't have any intention to help you subjectively, and I don't care about you. The result of getting help. You find and get it yourself. Even if it is not in me, you will get the same opportunities in people like me. I just poke at that point, but it will be someone else if it is not me. I am here It’s not indispensable, the focus is still on yourself.”

Me: "What if you caused the birth of a monk? What if there would be no him without you?"

Ni Sheng: "It's hard to imagine."

Me: "Well, after you encounter that situation, please tell me what you think."

05898-Strength and luck

Ni Sheng: "Why do you think you didn't ask in general, but saw my future? I heard that although some immortals neither majored nor minored in divination, they had certain divination abilities on certain specific events? "

Me: "If you want to say it, I seem to have shown a relatively recognized divination ability on the issue of having children."

Ni Sheng's eyes lit up: "This is good. Some wives of big families are willing to spend a lot of money just to have children. Are you willing to cooperate with me?"

Me: "I'll give you another chance to ask again."

Ni Sheng: "Do you think Fang Huixi's plan can be realized?"

Me: "If he doesn't die, he probably will."

Ni Sheng: "That's true. If it doesn't work, it will be more than death. It must be dead without a whole body, and maybe it will harm the family. It is impossible for Fang Huixi not to know this. Why can he still behave like this?" So calm? He even has the heart to keep hooking me with paintings? What kind of support does he have? Should he have support? If he has no support and is just putting on airs to bluff people, when he is exposed, I will be with him. Wouldn't those who got close also die without a whole body?"

Ni Sheng: "Young Master Pei, do you think Fang Huixi has anything to rely on?"

I don’t know. The official history doesn’t write such details. As for the unofficial history, it has everything.However, it is generally believed that Fang Huixi had very little political resources in his early days as an official, and he gradually rose to power by playing balance, taking advantage of loopholes, and grasping people's hearts.This description does not sound like a serious person?Then I would like to add that it would be better to play the balance between those who search for the people's fat and anoint them, take advantage of the country's great interests to attack political opponents, and grasp the hearts of the supreme imperial power?Of course, he still doesn't look like a serious person, especially not a decent good person.

However, for an excellent politician, whether he is serious or not, good or bad, is not that important. Anyway, he has undoubtedly made great contributions to his country in his life before the coffin is laid to rest.Externally, it assisted in repelling enemy countries, internally improved the quality of life of the citizens, and made contributions in many aspects such as education, science and technology, agriculture, and art.

From the young master of the rich man's family to the person in power who is under one person and over ten thousand people, he can finally resign with a calm posture and die of old age in peace. There are occasional minor disturbances in his life, but there has never been any major torture. There is no doubt that his strength and With both luck, I can't find a few such characters in the history books.Even if there is no anecdote about raising a demon, Fang Huixi will still be praised by future generations from time to time.

05899-Can't see clearly

Fang Huixi's later stage of peace was more or less protected by Shao Gangming and the Yaomeng behind Shao Gangming, but the early foundation was laid by him bit by bit, starting from Huangzhai County.

At this stage, it seems that Fang Huixi's psychological quality is really high, not to mention anything else. He has been threatening and beating for several rounds, whether overt or covert, limited to verbal or actual hands, no matter what Fang Huixi thinks in his heart, Anyway, he has a calm face, he often walks on the street and chats with the locals, as if he is just a novice parent official who just took office in an ordinary small place, and all he needs to consider is the relationship with the people under his rule and how to make the people live happily. better.

Immortality must be a character, history is proof.

Fang Huixi's senses seem to be extremely sharp, and he almost noticed me several times when I sent the reading group to stare at Shao Gang's Ming paintings.This reading group is only the size of a soybean and has black hair all over its body. It is difficult to be found by the naked eye when it is hidden in places such as table legs, cabinet cracks, and walls. It is impossible for lamps and other lighting items to illuminate all corners of the entire room, so people without spiritual power perception should not be able to spot the reading group theoretically, but Fang Huixi suddenly reached out several times, almost catching the reading group, and even Once, the reading group escaped Fang Huixi's arrest by teleporting back to Xiaosuili in an emergency.

In the end, the reading group had no choice but to keep a distance of not less than three meters from Fang Huixi at all times—with Fang Huixi's physical sensitivity, even if he made a sudden move, three meters provided the reading group with a gap to react calmly.

But the problem is that Fang Huixi hardly let Shao Gangming's painting leave his body, especially when it is unfolded, it must be hung at a position within his reach, so when the reading group distanced itself from Fang Huixi, they had to talk to Shao Gangming by the way. Paintings are also somewhat distant.Originally, the aura fluctuations in the painting were so slight that they were almost imperceptible, and the connection between the reading group and me was deliberately weakened for safety. The superposition of the three factors made it a little unclear for me.

I was thinking about what excuse I could use to get Fang Huixi to agree that I would squat next to Shao Gang's painting in person without moving.

Pei Bing: "Any excuse is unrealistic. Fang Huixi is called Shao Gangming's wife. Even though the historical records show that there is no emotional entanglement between this person and a demon, it was after Shao Gangming turned into a demon and made it clear that Fang Huixi's wife was inappropriate." After that, before that, maybe Fang Huixi really has some thoughts about Shao Gang's Minghua?"

Pei Kong: "To let you squat over is to put a cuckold on yourself. Do you think Fang Huixi has such a big heart?"

When Fang Huixi deals with political opponents, he is indeed very magnanimous, and he rarely kills them all. Especially when his own side has an overwhelming advantage over the enemy, Fang Huixi often leaves room for the enemy to maintain their demeanor, so as not to let the enemy Fang looked too embarrassed.Although this also has the hidden danger of letting the tiger go back to the mountain, since the reality is that Fang Hui died of old age in peace, rather than being bitten to death by the tiger he released, naturally there are more praises.
