Chapter 260 Fourth, Shen Gong's melancholy and worries

Seeing Wen Zhong's amazed look, Shen Gongbao couldn't help but smiled a little, and said: "Teacher, please be safe and don't be impatient, just listen to me speak slowly!"

"Grand Master, when you were cultivating Taoism under the disciple of Jinling Daoist, you must have taken a lot of elixir and miraculous medicine. However, the magical use of elixir is very fast for quickly increasing mana, but the improvement of Taoism is very small. The way of cultivating Taoism, if Taoism and practice If the mana cannot match, there is no way to do it after all. The huge physical power accumulated by relying on the power of the medicine stone will be out of control one day, and the body will be the only ending when the huge physical force is bursting. "

Wen Zhong nodded understandingly. It was precisely because he was unable to comprehend a higher level of Dao back then, so that he was unable to make further progress in Daoism. Break into the secular world, and gain fame and fame for a lifetime.

"The improvement of Taoism can only be realized by oneself, but others can't help it. In this way, if the Grand Master wants to break through the current realm of immortality, it may be even more difficult. The possibility of stepping into the immortal way again is very small." [

Shen Gongbao finished speaking, looked at Wen Zhong, and said in a deep voice: "So, in my opinion, it is better for a grand master to cultivate the way of God, how about it?"

"Shinto?" Wen Zhong raised his thick eyebrows, his eyes flashed, showing a little excitement.

For those who have stepped into the immortal way, they are naturally dismissive of the divine way. However, according to ordinary people like Wen Zhong, the temptation of the divine way is really not small, even if it is controlled by others, so long as the list of gods is not destroyed. People can live almost as long as the heaven and the earth, which is several times better than ordinary people living, aging, sick and dying within a few decades.

Moreover, freedom is always relative. Although the divine way is inferior to the immortal way, it is better than the mortal way!

Although his mind was swayed, after all, Wen Zhong had been tossing around in the secular world for decades, and soon he stabilized his mind, resisted the temptation of the divine way, and said suspiciously: "Could it be that the national teacher's intention is to let the old man To be listed on the list of gods? But the matter of conferring gods is carried out by teaching, even if the old man wants to, it may not be feasible!"

"Haha, the grand master needs to worry too much, just leave this matter to me, as long as the grand master tells me whether I am willing or not!" Shen Gongbao laughed, and then said: "The grand master's ability tends to be in the secular world. In shallow water, it is too wasteful, and after dozens of years, the Grand Master is willing to turn into a handful of loess?"

Shen Gongbao heard Zhongdeng shouted: "Of course I don't want to die of old age and turn into ashes!" He was full of energy and ambition.

"It's just that this matter is really possible?" Wen Zhong then asked quite worried.

Shen Gongbao lightly stroked Haixia's beard, smiled lightly and said to himself: "Don't worry, Grand Master, you have known me for so long, have you ever seen me say false words!"

After a pause, Shen Gongbao groaned for a while, and said: "In this case, the grand master needs to end the secular affairs as soon as possible. Soon, the grand master will definitely need to leave the secular world. As for Wu Chengwang and others, I will leave it to the grand master to persuade them. Well, then Pindao will take them away together!"

After that, he took out a list and handed it to Wen Zhong. After Wen Zhong took it, he glanced at Shen Gongbao in surprise, only because there were so many people on the list, there were really not a few of them, just like Li Jing and his like, they were all on the list, probably There are more than a hundred people, all of whom are very influential among the big merchants.

If these people go away, most of the pillars of the Great Chamber of Commerce will be missing in a moment. After a moment of hesitation, Wen Zhong worried: "Master, is this really okay?" As soon as people leave, the great merchants who have been waiting so hard will not fall apart.

"Talented people come out from generation to generation. The grand master can find some young talents from among the newcomers to replace these people's positions. After all, the big business will rely on these juniors in the future!"

Shen Gongbao said slowly: "And there should be a period of time for the grand master to prepare. If you want to use the power of the grand master, it should be a trivial matter, hehe!"

Wen Zhong smiled wryly, "A small matter?" How could it be a small matter if so many people need to be arranged!

Pretending not to see Wen Zhong's wry smile, Shen Gongbao immediately said again: "Grand Master, taking advantage of this time, Grand Master still needs to help Jiejiao complete a major event, and this matter is also related to you after you become a god in the future!"

Then Shen Gongbao narrated the idea in his heart, Wen Zhong heard it, and knew that this matter was related to the future power of himself and the master, so he nodded firmly and said: "National teacher, don't worry, the old man will take care of this matter personally. !"

"En!" Shen Gongbao responded, and then fell silent. Now that his strength has improved, he is no longer what he was before. After his mental state has changed, Shen Gongbao suddenly no longer pays so much attention to the trivial things in the world. At this time, Only then did Shen Gongbao know why the people who explained the teachings were always lacking in interest in secular things and didn't want to do it by themselves, just because after they reached a certain level of cultivation, they would naturally feel that everything was under their control. He thinks that with a little movement of his hands, any weird changes will be settled by himself.

This feeling is very wonderful, it makes people have an illusion of aloofness, looking down on the common people! [

Suddenly, the word "ant" came to mind, and Shen Gongbao laughed secretly in his heart. He finally understood why the Taishang Laojun and others firmly believed that "everyone under the sage is an ant". , except for those few people, are the rest just ants?

"The strength has improved too fast, and the state of mind is still unstable!" Shen Gongbao was sure, he had come from an ant step by step, and gradually brought down those who underestimated the ant before, now he can't be proud and arrogant, and drive carefully for thousands of years Boat.

After his mentality was settled, Shen Gongbao was secretly glad that he woke up in time and did not make a major mistake, but at this moment, he really didn't have to do everything by himself as before, dealing with a lot of bullheaded and horse-faced little people, as long as he paid attention to some things, Arrange it carefully and hand it over to the right person, such as Wen Zhong.

Know people and make good use of them!

The improvement of strength and the adjustment of mentality made Shen Gongbao gradually take the position of a far-sighted chess player, but he did not lose the caution he had when he was an "ant" at the beginning, so as not to repeat the tragedies of his predecessors.

After a while of silence, Shen Gongbao let out a breath. After thinking through some things, he suddenly felt refreshed and more stable. What?"

Just now when Shen Gongbao was in a state of confusion, Wen Zhong was horrified by the majestic and cold aura that came out unintentionally. Knowing that Shen Gongbao's strength might rise again, from that majestic and deep aura like the sea, Wen Zhong vaguely felt that Shen Gongbao's aura The strength is stronger than that of the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit.

Suppressing the surprise and astonishment in his heart, Wen Zhong's words unknowingly carried a little awe, and said: "Fei Lian has now gathered people from the nine barbarians in the border area of ​​the nine barbarians, and established the belief in witchcraft, and now they have gathered Many border people are quite powerful."

"So it is!" The original agreement between Taoist Wentian and Houtu was to allow Shen Gongbao to rely on his personal influence and the survivors of Jiuli in the secular world to re-establish the belief of the Wu tribe, and the benefit Shen Gongbao got was that of the Wu tribe. full support.

Presumably, Houtu had been planning it for a long time, but Shen Gongbao didn't know the secret at that time, and neither did Wentian Taoist. From the situation at that time, it was obvious that this agreement was a win-win agreement.

But now that the situation has changed again, the original win-win agreement is not beneficial to Shen Gongbao.

"Houtu..." Shen Gongbao touched his chin lightly, muttering in his heart, with a strange look in his eyes.

Back then, Shen Gongbao's strength should have been weaker in Houtu's eyes. It was understandable that Houtu had concealed something from Taoist Wentian at the time, but now Shen Gongbao's strength has improved rapidly, and he has learned a lot of secrets. After a little analysis, he immediately Knowing that Houtu was probably plotting against him at that time, the sense of dignity brought about by the increase in strength made Shen Gongbao burst into anger at Houtu's behavior.

As for the secret about the "Hongmeng Purple Qi" thrown out by Houtu, now that I think about it, it is probably a bait. When Daoist Wentian was horrified, he heard about the temptation of Houtu—the full help of the Wu Clan. After a little weighing, he will definitely agree.

The lack of information determines the failure of the transaction. Doubt, Ask the Taoist is a trick!

If Taoist Wentian had really returned to Chaoge at that time, followed the agreement, and filled Dashang territory with witch believers, Shen Gongbao would have stood on the side of the Lich before Shen Gongbao made his own choice.

Fortunately, at that time Taoist Wentian felt aggrieved by Taoist Qinglian's fame in the world, so he ran to ambush Daoist Huanglong. Delay down.

Without the influence of Shen Gongbao, it was not easy for Fei Lian to introduce witchcraft to Dashang. He had to gather the survivors of the barbarian lands first to practice witchcraft.

"Zi Yi, what role do you play in it?" Shen Gongbao's eyes were dim, and he sighed in his heart, extremely melancholy.

As for Houtu, what Shen Gongbao said is whether to calculate or not is just a matter of interests. From the perspective of the Wu clan, Houtu's actions are understandable. Thinking about it in another way, Shen Gongbao is in the position of Houtu, and I am afraid that the method he adopts will be more serious. Thoroughly, fiercely.

But for Shang Ziyi, Shen Gongbao can't forget it, after all, the beauty of the past is still vivid in his mind, for women, Shen Gongbao naturally cherishes them, let alone his own women.

It's just that Shang Ziyi's identity is quite embarrassing. Shen Gongbao doesn't know how much influence the memory of Shang Ziyi I, the ancestor of Xuanming and now the leader of the witch religion, has. [

"If everything is a bureau, then
