Chapter 67 (1/2)
Xiangyang City head.
When Cang Minglu stepped on the towering city wall, the night had already fallen, and a bright moon was slowly rising to the sky, casting down the clear brightness everywhere.
If you look around, the city is already full of lights. The streets are full of water and bustling. Occasionally, you can see teams of patrolling soldiers passing by with armor and swords. They are in good order and busy without disorder.
In the eyes of the immortals, there were a little waves, which he had never experienced for hundreds of years.
The so-called human immortals, in the final analysis, are mostly human elements. Born and grown up in the world, even if one day you can get the result of the doctrine and live in the mountains to avoid the world, it is difficult to completely eliminate the worldly cause and effect.
With a sigh in his heart, he walked along the wall.
On both sides of the broad city wall, every three meters along the way, there is a black heavy armour bodyguard standing with a dagger. He does not squint, like two rows of frozen statues. He has no response to his arrival.
A hundred steps away, I do not know when a few stone mounds, a square table, a set of wine set, there are several dishes of wine dishes. They were sitting opposite each other, cooking wine and chatting, and playing some fun games.
One is a young man in white with star eyebrows and bright eyes, and the other is a man in brocade, who is nearly middle-aged, with a ruddy complexion and a faint bearing of authority.
”Ding!”
The cover was lifted again. Qin Feng took a look at the number of dice inside, and said with a smile: ”the Duke of the Kingdom lost again this time.”
Zhao Yuanjin chuckled and threw two pieces of gold leaves in front of him. He said to himself, ”in gambling, if you lose nine games in ten games, you can live eight seats. You can be rich and you can also lose all your wealth. If you have thousands of miles, you can also die. Therefore, Zhao will never gamble until the last resort. ”
Qin Feng nodded slightly: ”gambling is too heavy. Sooner or later, you will end up with nothing. It's the same with the peddlers and the emperors. So I don't like this either. When I have my spare time, I can make a small bet. ”
With that, he looked at Cang Ming Lu, who was walking slowly. He said, ”if you have friends coming from afar, why don't you sit down and have a drink? How about playing a few games with me? ”
Cang Ming Lu was silent. After a few minutes, he gently shook his head: ”gambling is a matter of nine losses in ten games. What the Duke of Chu said is not bad. So nobody likes it
Zhao Yuanjin took the wine pot with his own hands, filled a glass of wine and put it in front of him. Cang Minglu took a seat in silence, raised his glass slightly and drank it down with his head up.
He doesn't care whether the other party will poison the wine or not, and the great power belongs to himself. Such worldly tricks have no meaning for human beings and immortals.
”Since the immortal master doesn't like gambling, is it that some younger generations are good at making their own opinions?”
Qin Feng put down his glass and said, ”immortals do not come to the mortal world and do not touch Cause and effect. This is the iron law of the world of practice for thousands of years. Although there are transgressors from time to time, most of them have no good results. Those who are light will suffer damage and have no hope of getting rid of themselves; those who are heavy will lose their power and be haunted by evil deeds, and their souls will not be peaceful after death. ”
”For ordinary people, the struggle for dragons is a matter of death if it is not achieved, and it is a disaster to the relatives; for a monk, it is the death of the body, the elimination of the Tao, the harm to the school, and even the transmigration of generations, it is difficult to clear away the evil retribution.”
Cang Minglu is silent.
Qin Feng continued: ”as for the lucky to assist a Qianlong and dominate the country in the Qing Dynasty, the Zong clan can indeed get the new dynasty's vigor and number to protect the school, and benefit the descendants of later generations. But for the existence of such levels as human beings and immortals, although it is beneficial, it is not much, and it is not worth putting everything on the table to gamble. ”
”Therefore, when the tripod was changed by the mandate of heaven, all the great hermit sects only sent their descendants to secretly look for candidates to assist and support them. They would not lose the foundation of the whole clan, especially the immortals.”
”If you succeed in this way, you can get enough rewards. If you fail, you won't have too much influence. At most, you can sacrifice some unimportant younger disciples.”
