The sword is the devil

Chapter 352
Boss Shi scratched his head, not knowing how to answer, so he just laughed,

"You can just say whatever you want, who would blame you for what you, a mortal, have to say?"

There is a difference between cultivators, because words are innocent, this is the common understanding in this cultivation world, would a tiger care what ants say about him?

Boss Shi chuckled, "How can I be so qualified to comment on the immortal master? To tell the truth, these are all trivial and superficial views, please don't laugh at me for being shallow.

When I first came to Sangmu Island, I was still taught by my father’s precepts and deeds. At that time, the second and third children were still underage; the fairy teacher at that time was an old fairy with a fairy-like style, and I couldn’t understand what he was talking about. Anyway, I knew very little Seeing him face-to-face has not been more than three times over the years?

The second immortal teacher is a man of high stature, who is good at using long swords, and often swords back and forth; at this time, I have already started to independently take charge of mine transportation, and the second and third children will go to the island; I feel that this immortal teacher Very serious, no matter how big or small, everything must be done personally.

But strictness is strictness, and we mortals never beat or scolded us, but had a little contact with each other. For a while, I even thought that I had found a passage for the Shi family, but unfortunately, something happened later...

In the end, there is this Chao Xianshi, who is the owner of the island, let's not talk about the younger ones, right? "

Hou Tiao listened with great interest, "If you don't say it, you don't say it. I know you have scruples, so you should take care of it... You said that something happened to the second immortal master? What else could happen to him as a practitioner? It's all right, I came to you to cover up, but it's something to be hesitant?"

Boss Shi couldn't stop laughing, hesitating for a while, he didn't know whether to say it properly, he knew that jokes are jokes, secrets are secrets, the first family rule that Lao Shi left him when he was alive is: resolutely not to participate in learning right and wrong in the real world, Only in this way can the prosperity and wealth of the Shi family be maintained in the mortal world.

Hou Tiao didn't urge him, and just wrote lightly: "In my opinion, the output of this lapis lazuli mine seems to be slightly different from the record and the actual output? I don't know why you taught me?"

As soon as Boss Shi heard it, he immediately understood what he meant, either to satisfy his curiosity about the past, or to tell him and Chao Buzhi about those self-serving and fraudulent affairs, and he chose the former without hesitation.

"Actually, it's not a big deal. The immortal master didn't know about it. This matter caused a lot of trouble eight years ago. The villain remembers that there were countless practitioners who came to check, especially those with swords on their backs. Did not find any clues, and then slowly died down.

The villain doesn't want to tell it, not because it's a secret, but because I've told it countless times eight years ago, and I'm tired of telling it. "

Looking at Hou Tiao's rather playful eyes, he sighed, "Well, I haven't talked about it for eight years, and now I want to say it for aftertaste. The immortal master is curious, so I'll just say a few words.

This person, named Li Shizhong, should be an immortal teacher from the Quanzhen Sect of Shan State..."

Hou Tiao didn't interrupt him again, but listened quietly; what Boss Shi said was actually no different from the information he could find, and even because it was from the perspective of ordinary people, many of them were incomplete and exaggerated. place.

But what he wants is such an effect, real, concise, straightforward, without filtering by practitioners, without adding the opinions of those so-called insiders, so that he can best hear something from it, instead of tasting what others have chewed. residue.

Eight years may not seem like a big deal to a practitioner, but it is a test of his memory for a mortal; It's still fresh; this mention brought back dusty memories, and the retelling that was originally reluctant became natural and smooth.

"There was no abnormality before the accident?"

"No abnormality! Immortal masters are very self-controlled, and their emotions will not be revealed outside, but I can be sure that there is no abnormality because the last time I saw Li Xianshi three days before the accident, he also promised to catch one for my son. Kiwi, what do you think is so unusual for a busy immortal master to still have such a leisurely attitude?"

"There are no strange practitioners coming in and out of the island?"

"I can only say that I didn't see it, just like if you don't want me to see it, I must not see it."

"That fairy master is also practicing at the cliff lighthouse?"

"I'm not sure, because we can't know the footprints of the immortal master, but as far as I know, the immortal master occasionally appears in other places on Sangmu Island, such as the mulberry forest in the west and the shallow bay in the south, but only Occasionally."

Hou Tiao asked some simple questions, then rambled elsewhere, seeming to be very interested in the history of Sangmu Island.This kind of conversation made Boss Shi a little restless, and gradually became worried about gains and losses.

He knew that enough should be enough, otherwise this mortal would be frightened, and he would never want to ask any more questions in the future.

The two walked out, looking at the busy crowd in the mine, Hou Tiao asked a very strange question,

"Shi Jingzhong, right? Do you think how much wealth a person can earn in a lifetime is enough? Your Shi family has been working on Sangmu Island for hundreds of years. Needless to say, the family fortune will be prosperous for generations to come. So, what is the reason for still working so hard?"

Boss Shi groaned and groaned, this question was a little difficult to answer, "...the inheritance of the ancestors, I can't lose it in my hands. As for wealth, if it is calculated in the mortal world, it is not bad, but flowers do not last a hundred days. No one is happy forever, there must always be a precaution in the future..."

Hou Tiao smiled slightly, "Shi Jingzhong, your heart is a bit big; even in the world of practice, no one dares to say that you can guarantee wealth for several generations, let alone you mortals.

Take good care of the previous generation, enjoy this generation, and take care of the next generation. As for the future of the Shi family, what guarantee do you have?
It's really a joke, wealth is the foundation of family continuation, but this foundation may be a blessing, but it may also be a curse! "

Shi Jingzhong has been in torment for more than a hour. He has ghosts in his heart, so he cannot avoid worrying about gains and losses; he dare not speak out, but he is also worried about the methods of practitioners. This kind of contradictory mentality is very tormenting.

"Master Immortal, please teach me how to deal with it! Some words involve the island owner, I really dare not say it!
I said that I have to die now, not to mention that there will be hidden dangers in the future, and ask the immortal master to teach me! "

Waiting to see that the heat has come, it is not advisable to intimidate too much, it is not good to be forced to go to Liangshan,

"You don't have to say, I'm not interested in the matter between you and Taoist Chao now; what's the point of talking about you? It's more troublesome to talk to Taoist Chao...

You asked me how to deal with it, so what I want to tell you is that there is no impenetrable wall in this world, especially in the eyes of practitioners.

Therefore, your principle is wrong. What does it mean to preserve the inheritance of the ancestors?
Is it to preserve wealth?Or keep the family?

If you choose to keep your wealth, then just pretend that I didn’t say anything, and your Shi family will continue. Let’s see if this foundation can be passed on for thousands of years?

If you want to keep people, then let me tell you, there is a kind of protection called rapid retreat!Take it when you see it!
It is the skill of the seniors that the ancestors of the Shi family were able to take over the management of Sangmu Island's mineral resources; but you have to know that sometimes it takes more courage to let go than sticking to it, and it is more admirable! "

...Reading the scriptures is only under the bright window, and you never know the gains and losses.
