"Look at the top, look at the bottom. Which floor is the owner worried about money? There are a few small banks above and a few rice shops below. Although it is not a big income, the daily expenses are always enough. , look at you guys, you don’t do anything on weekdays except eating and drinking, I’m almost being turned into a beggar by you!”
Wang Zhuang's face turned red and he said awkwardly: "We are stupid. If we lose money in a business or something, it would be so embarrassing to have people come to collect debts! This must make other pavilion masters laugh like crazy! We are here It’s for your sake!”
Du Minglu covered his face and said sadly, "Why did I run into you guys!"
Wangzhuang comforted him: "Don't be sad, this is how all the pavilion masters on the seventy-seventh floor came here!"
He Bin: "Haha!"
Du Minglu took two sips of wine. He was the master of the pavilion and only he could worry about these matters. The people under the other pavilions were more or less in charge of some properties, so the master of the pavilion would not worry too much about money.
The Seventy-seventh Floor has always been very poor. This matter can be traced back to the previous generations of palace owners. It cannot be escaped in a day or two. It is not possible to get rid of the cold three feet in a day. If you want to make money, you have to look at what the people below do. , but these people are too lazy. Not to mention a few young people, there are dozens of elderly people who don’t know anything about anything and can’t even understand what they say. How do you expect them to go out and make money? ?
It’s difficult!
Shi Chong, who was on the far side, had been silent before. Now when he talked about the stubborn disease on the seventy-seventh floor, he thought of another more important issue.
"The status of money in this world is too low. It may not be as good as the Qi Dynasty that was destroyed not long ago. It also has five major protection bans! But whose money is protected? What you should be thinking about now is not how to make money. , but to think about your own future!”
"My future?"
Shi Chong: "Do you really want to be the master of the pavilion on the seventy-seventh floor until the end of the world? Don't you want to keep going up?"
Du Minglu: "Go up? I don't want to, but it's too difficult. It's hard for me to compete with them!"
Shi Chong: "How high a person can reach in his life depends on his own strength, but luck is also very important!"
He Bin: "Yes, your ability is not weak. You are just one chance away from reaching the sky and leaving the seventy-seventh floor!"
Du Minglu: "Opportunity? Now there is a turbulent undercurrent, and everything is unresolved. What do the people at the top think? Who knows the people below? One wrong step will lead to an abyss, so how can it be considered an opportunity?"
Shi Chong: "Since ancient times, heroes have emerged in troubled times. If everything is stable as usual, then you will probably be the master of the palace for the rest of your life. Now that the position of palace master is vacant, isn't this an opportunity?"
Du Minglu said cautiously: "You won't let me fight for this position, will you?"
Shi Chong: "You think too much. If there was even half a chance, you wouldn't worry about money just now. This is really nonsense!"
Du Minglu: "Then what do you mean...?"
Shi Chong: "At this time, the more you have to pay attention to your words and deeds. No matter who the master of the Xuanwumen Heavenly Palace is in the future, you can't be a fool!"
Du Minglu: "Illusive person??"
Shi Chong: "Just don't act arbitrarily. Before making any decisions, you must first see the benefits in action. Don't think about responsibilities or anything like that, otherwise you will be dragged down sooner or later!"
Du Minglu: "This... I don't do anything. What does it have to do with me when the new palace master takes the throne in the future? How is this an opportunity?"
Wang Zhuang: "Yes, Brother Shi, if Brother Du does nothing, no matter who becomes the leader in the future, he will definitely promote his own people first. How could it be Brother Du's turn!"
Shi Chong: "The current situation is too weird, and there are no signs at all. There must be a high-ranking person behind those people in red, otherwise just five treasures would be enough to tear them apart. Who doesn't want to be the master of an emperor-level sect?" Door? If you act rashly now, it is equivalent to gambling. If you lose the bet, you will lose your property and life. If you win the bet, it will not have any big effect, and you may not be a minister of the dragon, so why bother to gamble?"
He Bin: "It's really hard to judge who can win the final victory now, but if you do nothing, the most you can do is keep your position as the Pavilion Master. It's simply impossible to go further."
Shi Chong: "That's not necessarily the case. If both sides fight hard enough, there will be some damage. In today's world, except for the five holy places, who can ensure that there is no damage at all? The fiercer the forces from all sides fight and the harder they fight, the more tragic it will be. It is not easy to cultivate masters. After a battle, more than a dozen people die. No matter which force is in urgent need of fresh blood, then is the best opportunity. What's more, how can a new dynasty remain unchanged? The previous interests Distribution will definitely change completely, otherwise how can we move the mountains we once had?"
Shi Chong's words fooled the three of them. Du Minglu thought for a long time and found that what he had done before was too simple and straightforward. No wonder he couldn't fight others.
Du Minglu: "Brother Du, I understand. It's best to do nothing now and wait for the new era to come?"
Shi Chong: "It's not simply not to do anything, but not to do anything at all. Don't do what you shouldn't do, and don't do what you should do. Protect yourself cautiously, hide from anything you can, tolerate it as long as you can, completely Separate yourself from this matter so that you can be loyal to the new master in the future!"
Du Minglu was shocked: "You don't do what you should do? You don't care about the daily affairs on the seventy-seventh floor?"
Shi Chong said firmly: "Ignore it as much as possible!"
Du Minglu: "This... what if the new owner blames me in the future? If you can't handle this small thing, how can it be of great use?"
Shi Chong: "The principle is the same. How do you know if you are doing the right thing? What if the new palace owner doesn't like what you do? How do you change his impression? I'm afraid it will be difficult. Do you want to do it in a new palace? Are you still in this position in the dynasty? Even if it is a very small thing, for example, you like to eat chili peppers, but the palace owner doesn't like it, he will have some resentment towards you, maybe other people who like to eat chili peppers You won’t eat chili peppers from now on, and you become a guide and a stepping stone for others. How many examples are there?”
Du Minglu: "But if you don't do some necessary things, it will cause disaster. How to avoid it? What if I don't take action that day and the enemy sneaks into the Xuanwu Palace and steals the leader's order? Where is the face of my majestic Xuanwu Sect in the Heavenly Palace?"
Shi Chong sneered, "Hey, this is where you are stupid! That person sneaked into the mountain that day, which pavilion took action besides you?"
Du Minglu: "This... is just Master Fang's action!"
Shi Chong: "That's right. Fang Linzi is Lord Wei's confidant. Naturally, he doesn't need to think twice about taking action. What about you? You didn't think you were the only one who discovered it within a hundred floors, did you?"
Du Minglu: "If that person did something..."
Shi Chong: "You, what if that person becomes the master of the Xuanwumen Heavenly Palace in the future?"
Du Minglu: "This..."
Shi Chong: "I'm afraid the first thing he will do is to kill you. How can Fang Linzi and Master Wei do it? It would be best to kill you to scare the monkeys!"
Du Minglu was sweating after hearing this and immediately stopped talking.
Shi Chong continued: "To take a step back, even if it is as you said, this person is going to do something extremely detrimental to the Xuanwu Sect Heavenly Palace, what does it have to do with you?"
Du Minglu wanted to say something, but held back.
Shi Chong: "You cannot represent the Xuanwumen Heavenly Palace, and you are not the palace owner of the Xuanwumen Heavenly Palace. This matter may not necessarily affect your interests. If you take a step back, can you find out that the people above can't?" Fang Linzi It can be discovered, but Master Wei can't? Master Sun can't discover it? Can't the Council of Elders discover it? They can control it, so what are you talking about! If they can't control it, what are you going to do? Die? Or get beaten up?"
………………
"This battle is too strange. There are too many things we don't know. We don't know why Mr. Xuan let outsiders come to seize the position of palace master. We don't know why he wants those six treasures. We don't know who the man in red is. We don’t know who the man in black is, we don’t know what the Qingfeng White Jade Purple Palace is going to do, we don’t know who destroyed the Treasure Hunting Alliance, there are so many things we don’t know, this situation is too dangerous, we should do anything more Even small things may lead to death in the future!"
Du Minglu: "I understand!"
Shi Chong: "Do you really understand?"
Du Minglu: "Of course!"
Shi Chong: "Okay, let me ask you again. That man was knocked down from the mountain by Master Sun Kong that day. What were you going to do?"
Du Minglu thought for a while and said: "At this time, I have seen the benefits. Of course, I will try my best to kill or capture him. It will be a great achievement in front of Master Wei or Master Sun!"
Shi Chong: "That's stupid, what did each pavilion master do at that time?"
Du Minglu: "They all attacked him. They attacked him crazily, trying to keep him alive. Some of them even chased him down. If he hadn't been stopped by Lord Wei, I'm afraid he wouldn't have let that person go!"
………………
After waiting for a while, Shi Chong said nothing and stared at Du Minglu, asking him to think again.
………………
Shi Chong sighed and said: "What abilities are they using? The sky is filled with weapons in the military realm! Spirit realm weapons! What about the illusion realm? What about the Tao realm? Or are the people below not capable of this ability? As long as there is a person who uses the Tao realm or the illusion realm, this person will also It’s impossible to go down the mountain so easily, why didn’t Mr. Wei allow the pursuit?”
………………
"You still don't understand. What did Mr. Wei see that he didn't want to pursue? That's his business. If you don't listen to him, it's a visible benefit. If you don't know who wins and who loses in this fight, it's impossible to see it. Real interests are just like playing chess. It doesn’t matter if there is one more piece or one less piece. What matters is who can capture the opponent’s general, who is the winner. Following the winner is the real benefit!”
Du Minglu: "I understand!"
Shi Chong: "Do you really understand?"
Du Minglu: "I really understand!"
Shi Chong: "Then guess what the other pavilion masters are doing now?"
Du Minglu: "Wait, wait for the winner to appear!"
Shi Chong said with satisfaction: "Not bad, wait!"
In the attic on the seventy-seventh floor, the wine is still drunk, but people have fewer worries. The cold winter seems not so cold anymore, because people can no longer feel it when their hearts are cold.
Some people died, but not completely...
