Comprehension against the sky, creating the Five Thunders in the real world

"You are so polite. You actually calculated that we would come and killed chickens to entertain us. But it was really unnecessary." Lin Beichen said.

"Hey, it's nothing. Since you are here, I must entertain you well, so as to show my hospitality." The old village chief said with a smile.

"So is there anything you need help with now? I'm always available to help you, so don't hesitate." Lin Beichen said in a very respectful tone.

In the past two days, Lin Beichen has been treating the injured, and the live broadcast room has been open. Anyone who wants to come in and watch can come in and watch.

When people saw Lin Beichen curing those people, praises for Lin Beichen rang out one after another in the live broadcast room.

Some people even expressed their desire to become Lin Beichen's apprentice and learn skills from him.

Now seeing Lin Beichen being so respectful to the old village chief, people in the live broadcast room also began to discuss that the old village chief was not an ordinary person.

"See, I guessed before that he was not ordinary, and now it has been exposed. He is not only the village chief of this town, but I think there are other identities behind him that we can't imagine."

"He was able to predict that Lin Beichen and the others would come, and even killed chickens to entertain them. This is extraordinary. Anyone who dares to refute is a fool."

Everyone on the barrage said so, but some people expressed different opinions: "Could it be that when Lin Beichen asked about the old village chief's address, someone notified the old village chief that they were coming, so he killed the chicken to prepare for the reception? In fact, he didn't predict it himself."

In short, he just refused to admit that the old village chief was no ordinary person.

Because in this world, how could there be so many extraordinary people? He thought this was all nonsense.

Lin Beichen has also been paying attention to everyone's opinions on this matter.

When he saw these people saying these things, he could only shake his head helplessly. These people were obviously judging others by themselves, thinking that others were just as ordinary as themselves.

At this critical moment, the system suddenly issued a new task. As long as Lin Beichen could obtain the permission of the old village chief, he could unlock the main line of the all-round growth of the sixty-four hexagrams.

This main line has always been Lin Beichen's dream. He has prayed to the system countless times, hoping to get a task to open it, but the system has always remained unmoved.

And now, the task appeared so suddenly, and the conditions were so simple, all that was needed was the consent of the village chief.

Lin Beichen immediately realized that this old village chief was most likely the NPC in the system. Otherwise, it would not be so easy to obtain this main task.

So, Lin Beichen explained his purpose to the old village chief: "I came here today mainly because of Liu Baoguo's matter. As you know, Liu Baoguo, as a businessman, caused heavy casualties to the people in the town in order to pursue personal gain. We have compiled a list of the victims in the past few days and plan to compensate them. But even so, it is impossible to eliminate their resentment towards Liu Baoguo."

"Therefore, I hope you can host a press conference and let Liu Baoguo personally apologize to the victims in order to gain their forgiveness."

At the same time, Lin Beichen also proposed that Liu Baoguo should personally explain the situation to the old village chief and express his willingness to compensate. Otherwise, if only Lin Beichen said it here, it would seem that all this was Lin Beichen's wishful thinking, and Liu Baoguo had no sincerity, and the old village chief would definitely not agree.

The old village chief sighed, but finally nodded and agreed.

Seeing this, Liu Baoguo couldn't wait to ask, "So when do you think it would be best to hold this press conference?"

He was eager to apologize as soon as possible, because only in this way could he get rid of the fear in his heart and no longer worry about being retaliated against while walking.

The old village chief said, "Why are you in such a hurry? I promised you. However, I have one condition, that is, the children of those who have passed away, their schooling and daily expenses must be fully borne by Liu Baoguo."

This is also the reason why people in the village are desperately collecting medicinal herbs. They just want to earn more money to send their children to school.

Lin Beichen was well aware of the importance of education. In order to allow his apprentices to receive a better education, he even asked his friends to bring them to big cities.

After hearing what the village chief said, Liu Baoguo was obviously unhappy. After all, it was not a small amount of money to be responsible for the expenses of so many children.

Lin Beichen persuaded him, "Just agree to it. These children live in this kind of environment, and going to school is their only way out. Besides, it doesn't cost much to go to school in such a small place."

Although Liu Baoguo was a businessman, he was not a bad person. After listening to Lin Beichen's words, he understood the truth and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I agree to pay for the children's tuition and daily expenses, but only until they leave the village. After all, I can't pay for their tuition for their entire lives."

The old village chief had thought of this a long time ago. He was sure that these children's desire to study was so strong that as long as they could leave the village and go to other schools, they would definitely find a way to work and earn money to pay for their tuition.

"Okay, that's settled. Liu Baoguo, you can't go back on your word. After I solve this matter for you and leave, you must do your job as promised."

After the two sides reached an agreement, the old village chief said: "It is better to do it today than to wait for a day. Let's hold a public meeting today. Let Liu Baoguo apologize in front of everyone."

So, that afternoon, a temporary stage was set up at the entrance of the village. The old village chief had arranged for people to notify several surrounding villages that were harmed by Liu Baoguo. For the villagers, this was a once-in-a-century event. They had been selling yam to Liu Baoguo here, and now he finally realized his mistake and came to apologize and compensate.

Although they don't know how much compensation they can get, this can ease their living burden and allow them to pick less medicinal herbs for money.

The villagers spread the news quickly, and soon the entire village and several neighboring villages knew about the upcoming compensation meeting.

At first, only a few people knew about this, and they were skeptical, thinking it was just a prank. But as more and more news came, they finally became convinced that it was not a joke and Liu Baoguo really wanted to compensate them.

The stage for the meeting had been set up, and villagers gathered one after another, making the scene very lively. Even those villagers who did not need compensation came, they all wanted to witness this rare moment with their own eyes, to see how the wealthy businessman Liu Baoguo would apologize and how much compensation he would pay.

The old village chief announced on the stage that the villagers who received compensation should line up in an orderly manner. The old village chief was quite prestigious in the hearts of the villagers. As soon as he spoke, the originally noisy scene immediately became quiet, and everyone consciously lined up in a long line.

Lin Beichen asked Liu Baoguo to start paying compensation, and this move somewhat restored Liu Baoguo's reputation.

"This is true, we really received compensation, and it's such a huge sum of money!" The villagers who received the compensation shouted happily, as if they had temporarily forgotten their deceased relatives, but this was also the compensation they deserved.

"Next, you should go on stage and apologize to everyone. Do you remember the sincerity I told you before?" The compensation has been paid out, and it is Liu Baoguo's turn to go on stage and apologize. Lin Beichen reminded him if he still remembered the words of apology he had taught him before. "I remember them clearly." Although Liu Baoguo had not yet gone on stage, he was already a little nervous. He had received an award for the yam incident before, but today was the first time he apologized in front of everyone in such an occasion, which made him feel a little uneasy.

Under the gaze of the crowd, he slowly walked onto the stage.

"I feel very honored to be here with you all today. But I feel deeply ashamed that you all know me because of the poisoning death of my family members caused by digging yam. I believe everyone has received the compensation."

"I am standing here now and I want to sincerely say to everyone: I'm sorry!"

"As a businessman, in pursuit of maximum profit, I forced you simple and kind people to dig poisonous yams, then bought them at a low price and sold them at a high price. This indirectly hurt you. It's all my fault. I hope you can forgive me."

After saying these words, he bowed deeply to the audience.

After hearing his apology, the hatred in the hearts of the villagers who received compensation was reduced a lot, but it has not completely disappeared. However, they did not show any disgust, but just looked at him expressionlessly.

Lin Beichen reminded Liu Baoguo from the audience that he hadn't finished speaking yet.

Liu Baoguo then continued, "I promised the village chief that I would support the children of families who died while picking herbs to go to college."

As soon as these words were spoken, the deceased's family members in the audience showed joy on their faces. Their children finally had hope of going to school.

You know, they were all cold and would never forgive Liu Baoguo no matter what, because most of the people who died in their families were the backbone of the family, and all the income depended on them.

But now, they have lost their support and even survival has become a problem, let alone sending their children to school.

"Are you sure you can do what you say?" someone in the audience questioned loudly.

After all, it takes more than ten years for a child to go from elementary school to college. What if he changes his mind and doesn’t want to pay the tuition halfway?
"Of course, I keep my word. If you don't believe me, you can take out your phone and record what I say. As long as I don't keep my word, you can expose me."

Nowadays, the Internet is well developed, and as long as something is uploaded to the Internet, it will spread all over the country very quickly. So Liu Baoguo asked someone to record his words as a safeguard.

Now people completely believed that he would do what he said.

With everyone's understanding, Lin Beichen was about to announce the end of the meeting. At this moment, a man suddenly rushed out from the crowd and knelt in front of Lin Beichen.

"Please accept me as your disciple!" He expressed earnestly, hoping to become Lin Beichen's disciple.

Lin Beichen was a little confused by this sudden action. He looked at the man carefully and was surprised to find that this man was the one he intended to take as his apprentice in the desert town.

Recalling that time, he asked this person to accept him as his disciple, but the other party was hesitant and said he would consider it for a few days. Lin Beichen respected his decision and gave him time. However, due to the urgency of the task, he did not stay in the desert town for long and continued on his way.

I originally thought that I would never meet this man again, but unexpectedly I met him again in this village.

"Why did you leave in a hurry without giving me an answer?" He asked Lin Beichen.

Lin Beichen explained: "You said you needed a few days to think about it, and I had other tasks to complete. I felt there was no need to wait, so I continued on my way. I thought we would never meet again, but I didn't expect you to take the initiative to come to me today to become my disciple."

"I wouldn't easily become your disciple, but I always felt that you were different, so I followed you and Deng Feng secretly to find out. As a result, after seeing everything you have done along the way, I was filled with admiration for you."

At first, he was somewhat disdainful of Lin Beichen's departure, thinking that Lin Beichen lacked patience. But then he thought about how Lin Beichen had saved them in a sandstorm, and that scene still shocked him. So, he decided to secretly follow Lin Beichen.

He witnessed Lin Beichen teaching robbers a lesson, predicting other people's fortunes, and treating patients, and also witnessed Lin Beichen's righteous act of arranging compensation for villagers injured while picking herbs. All of this made him admire Lin Beichen even more, and he also regretted his hesitation in becoming his apprentice.

When he saw Lin Beichen was about to announce the end of the meeting, he realized that he could no longer hide in the dark and must seize the opportunity to become Lin Beichen's apprentice. Otherwise, once Lin Beichen left, he would be caught in endless pursuit and hiding.

So he rushed forward, knelt in front of Lin Beichen, and begged Lin Beichen to accept him as his disciple.

Lin Beichen was naturally happy when he saw this. He was always willing to help others, and someone volunteered to become his disciple, which made him even happier. Now that he had three disciples, his mission would be smoother.

"Okay, I agree to take you as my disciple. What's your name?" Lin Beichen asked.

"I haven't had a name for all these years. Everyone calls me Guitou, and I'm used to it," he replied.

It turned out that he was very clever since he was young, so everyone gave him this nickname. He got used to this nickname from childhood to adulthood.

Lin Beichen felt a little emotional when he heard this. He had never seen such a big person without a formal name.

"How about this, I'll give you a name on the spot, are you willing to accept it?" Lin Beichen asked.

Since he was already his apprentice, Lin Beichen felt that he had the right to give him a name. If he was willing, he would give him a name now; if he was not willing, he would still call him Guitou in the future and would not force him.

"Of course! I beg Master to give me a new name right now," he said excitedly.

Lin Beichen began to think, what name should he give him?
"How about the name Lin Zhengyi?" Lin Beichen asked.

After thinking it over again and again, he felt that this name had a good meaning. If he was not satisfied, he could change it until he accepted it. After all, Chinese characters are profound and it is not difficult to come up with a name.

He liked the name very much and happily completed the apprenticeship ceremony in public.

The old village chief was also very satisfied with this matter, and took the initiative to introduce Lin Beichen's identity to the villagers: "The Lin Beichen you see is actually a Taoist, and he already has his own Taoist temple..." (End of this chapter)
