Hearing the one-eyed catcher's words, Gongsun Chengwei's doubts disappeared. Although he missed the bronze amulet, he was in awe of the one-eyed catcher in front of him. This was because the one-eyed catcher had a sharp eye and could see every detail, even he himself had not noticed. Every detail is seen and examined fairly.
After the one-eyed catcher gave his explanation, he looked at Gongsun Chengwei coldly.
Gongsun Chengwei was unwilling and very regretful. In desperation, he first turned to look at Long Haotian and others who were leaving the position. Seeing that everyone on his side was also helpless, he then turned back to look at Changsheng and others in Xun position. He looked at Changsheng Naturally, he was not waiting for help, but subconsciously wanted to see if Chang Sheng and others were taking pleasure in their misfortune.
Seeing Gongsun Chengwei looking at him, Changsheng raised his hand slightly and made a sign to step down.
Gongsun Chengwei understood Chang Sheng's gesture, but he didn't understand why Chang Sheng did this. However, he was sure of one thing, that is, Chang Sheng's move was definitely not a sarcastic move, because Chang Sheng was a prince of the imperial court, and even if he hated himself, he would not do it. Make a mocking move that adds insult to injury.
Although he didn't understand why Changsheng urged him to step down as soon as possible, Gongsun Chengwei still did so. After sighing, he turned around in frustration and left the stage sadly.
Unexpectedly, when Gongsun Chengwei reached the edge of the Tai Chi stone platform, the one-eyed catcher suddenly said, "Come here."
Gongsun Chengwei stopped when he heard the sound, turned around in confusion, and saw the one-eyed catcher looking at him. Then he was sure that the other party was talking to him, and then moved to the one-eyed catcher.
Before Gongsun Chengwei could speak, the one-eyed catcher took his left hand.
Seeing this situation, not only Gongsun Chengwei was horrified, but everyone outside was also shocked. No one expected that the one-eyed catcher would suddenly change his mind and transfer the protective amulet to him, knowing that Gongsun Chengwei had bad conduct.
The transfer of the protective talisman was completed in an instant, and the one-eyed catcher didn't stop for much. After passing the talisman to Gongsun Chengwei, he disappeared without saying anything about the situation, or even looking at the crowd.
After being stunned for a moment, Long Haotian and others came to their senses. Overjoyed, they stood up from their seats and congratulated Gongsun Chengwei, who was still in a daze on the stage.
Until this moment, Gongsun Chengwei was still confused. He walked off the stage in a fog and muddleheadedly accepted the congratulations from everyone on his side.
Since the one-eyed catcher did not explain to everyone why he passed the bronze amulet to Gongsun Chengwei when he left, most of the people outside the venue were confused. Even if they were as smart as Yang Kai, they did not understand why, but he was sitting there On the right side of Changsheng, he had clearly seen Changsheng waving his hands secretly to Gongsun Chengwei before, so he knew that Changsheng understood in his heart, so he turned to look at Changsheng.
Although Yang Kai did not ask questions like Da Tou, Chang Sheng knew what Yang Kai was thinking and immediately said, "Although Gongsun Chengwei failed to answer the Yin official's question, he said the right thing."
Datou was also full of doubts at this time. Seeing Changsheng opening his mouth to answer his doubts, he eagerly asked, "Which sentence?"
"I don't want the amulet anymore, just tell me." Changsheng said.
"Big Donkey Face didn't answer people's questions, so they definitely wouldn't give it to him." Big Head said.
"Whether the Yin official gives it or not is one thing, and whether he says it or not is another thing," Changsheng said. "The fact that he took the initiative to say this means that in his opinion, he didn't answer the question well, so he won't do it." You should get someone else’s talisman.”
Da Tou vaguely understood, "You mean that in the eyes of that one-eyed fairy, Big Donkey Face is a valuable person?"
"Yes," Changsheng nodded, "Let's put aside whether this person is despicable or shameless. At least he knows that if he wants to get it, he must pay, and he also knows that he shouldn't ask for it if he doesn't pay."
"What's the point? Who doesn't know this?" Big Head curled his lips.
"Don't say that," Changsheng waved his hand, "Although the truth is simple, more than 70% of people can't do it. People who just treat others to a meal and want others to stab themselves are better than others. Yes, there are many men who just give a woman a sachet and want to take her as his own, and there are also many farmers who are too lazy to cultivate but want to have a good harvest."
Chang Sheng paused for a moment before continuing, "Although Gongsun Chengwei's previous action of taking a knife and poisoning his wound was despicable and shameless, it can be seen from this action that the scale in this person's heart is accurate. , understands the truth of being reluctant to let go of children and not being able to ensnare the wolf, and does not expect to use small things to make a big difference, and is willing to pay a heavy price for generous rewards."
"But Big Donkey Face is a bad guy after all," Big Head was still confused, "I still feel like I shouldn't give him the bronze amulet."
Shi Xuanming on the side said, "Didn't the immortal say that this person is very smart and has the potential to change for the better."
"You can pull him down," Datou curled his lips and retorted, "They say a country is easy to change but its nature is hard to change. This guy has been bad for decades, how can he get better so easily."
Changsheng said, "In fact, the Yin official doesn't care whether he will change his mind in the future. The reason why he gave him the magic talisman is just to feel that the scale in this person's heart is accurate. In Datou's words, he knows what he knows. Don't underestimate what he knows. This It’s the foundation of being a human being. If a person doesn’t know what he’s doing to him, he won’t appreciate it no matter how nice he is. In the end, he may only get an understatement of thank you for helping him. Only if he knows what he’s doing, he won’t let down or underestimate others’ feelings. Your own contribution.”
"Even if he knows something in his heart and knows how good someone is to him, he may repay kindness with hatred," Datou said, "This guy is really not a good guy. From what the gods said, he killed soldiers and raped women."
"What you said makes sense. He is indeed not a good person, but you can't deny that he knows what's in his mind just because he's bad." Changsheng smiled, "If a person doesn't know what's in his mind, or is ignorant, he will definitely repay kindness with hatred, and even He has repaid kindness without knowing it, and if he is criticized afterwards, he may still cry out in grievance."
"Oh, it's too complicated," Datou raised his hand to touch his forehead, "Anyway, I don't like this person very much. It's not a good thing if the magic talisman allows him to get away."
After finishing speaking, Shi Xuanming took over the conversation, "Your Majesty, you just said that a man with enough talent knows etiquette, does that mean that if Gongsun Chengwei gets this bronze talisman and has an endless lifespan, his character may change? ?”
"Yes, it's not just him, everyone's character will change when they have infinite life," Changsheng nodded, "Besides, being rich enough to know etiquette is just a more implicit way of saying it. To put it more bluntly, the poor lead to cunning, and the rich lead to conscience. , it’s not that the poor are all bad and the rich are good, but when a person has no clothes and no food to eat, he will forget about propriety, justice and shame in order to survive. I encountered this in Jiangnan not long ago One family of disaster victims was about to starve to death. In order to survive, they had to beat their old yellow dog to death. At that time, the old yellow dog was hit on the head by its owner. It ran away with a bloody head, but the owner summoned it again with a stick. , it will still come over, can you say they are bad? They are not bad, and they are not unfriendly, but in order to survive, they can only do that."
"Amitabha." Shi Xuanming clasped his hands and chanted the Buddha's name.
"You don't need Amitabha," Changsheng said with a smile, "I got there in time and saved the yellow dog."
"Okay, okay, great." Shi Xuanming rubbed his hands happily.
Changsheng continued, "The conscience of a rich man is easier to understand. Ni is the best example. If the Ni family was so poor that he couldn't take the blame, he would definitely not raise food for disaster relief to help others. Of course, he would not do anything to help others despite being hungry. There are also people who steal and rob, and there are also people who are unkind for the sake of wealth, but there are not many such cases, and we cannot generalize from one point to another."
"I still feel that I shouldn't give him the bronze amulet." Datou insisted.
Changsheng smiled helplessly, "I didn't say that Yin Guan was right to give him the bronze amulet. I just speculated on why Yin Guan gave him the bronze amulet. Moreover, all the Yin Guan immortals appearing now are just earth immortals. Their cultivation and knowledge may not be perfect, and besides, immortals are also human beings. The Yin official just now may just like Gongsun Chengwei, just like the black bear spirit likes you."
"That's right," Shi Xuanming agreed, "You're always complaining when someone gets one, why don't you say you got two more?"
"When did I complain? What if I got two? Do you want it?" Datou turned around and quarreled with Shi Xuanming.
Only then did Yang Kai wait for the opportunity to speak, "My lord, you waved at Gongsun Chengwei earlier, but did you signal him to leave earlier?"
Changsheng nodded, "The Yin official has been staring at him, just to see if he will ask for help next time. If he makes a request, the Yin official will think that he is greedy and excessive. After all, he did not answer the Yin official's question. , logically speaking, one should no longer expect to obtain amulets."
"If he asks for it in words, this spiritual talisman will have no chance with him." Yang Kai said.
Changsheng nodded again, "Yes, if he really asks for it, it means that he has no idea, and the good impression the Yin official has on him will be gone immediately."
Yang Kai lowered his voice, "Why do you want to help me secretly?"
"Are you telling the truth?" Changsheng smiled.
Yang Kai also laughed.
"Actually, I didn't want to help him. I just couldn't see anyone making mistakes." Chang Sheng said with a smile.
While the two were talking, the young scholar who had tried to leave the scene but was punished by the one-eyed headman quickly came to Changsheng, saluted him with three bows, and solemnly thanked him.
Changsheng stood up and said a few words to the young scholar. Seeing the black air reappearing on the field, the young scholar hurriedly returned to his seat.
"This is also a worthy person," Datou looked at the young scholar who was hurriedly returning to his seat, "If you hadn't saved him just now, he would have been dead."
Chang Sheng smiled and did not answer.
The black energy that appeared this time still came from under the Tai Chi Stone Platform, so it can be seen that the Yin official who appeared later also came from the underworld.
After a while, the black energy disappeared, and a short figure appeared in the middle of the Tai Chi stone platform.
At first, everyone just thought that the Yin official who appeared this time was a dwarf like Da Tou, but upon closer inspection, they found that this was not the case. The person standing on the stone platform turned out to be a half-year-old child wearing red...
