Distress: Nilong Changming Knife is Invisible

Chapter 666 Chapter 665. Question, Ghost Sacrifice Zonghuang’s Thoughts

It’s just you, so what does it matter!

Gui Ji Zonghuang, who was in a state of anger, immediately had such thoughts in his mind.

But he quickly suppressed this thought and said with a forced smile, "Thank you very much. Please take good care of me in the future."

"What's your next idea, young master?"

Ghost Sacrifice Zong Huangxin said: What do I have in mind? I really want to give those people in the village a beating so that they can support me even if they don’t support me.

"Go find Master Nineteen and see what he says."

The Nineteenth Master was sitting on the Diaoyutai, reading leisurely in the small courtyard arranged for him by Liangfeng Zhenyi.

Major General Ogi is not here. He has been sent back to the Mingzhan Haunted House. The three-sword samurai who transformed from the Arakami Zantopoku is standing behind him, acting as a personal bodyguard.

"Master Nineteen."

"Young Master is here, please come in quickly."

"Thank you."

Ghost Festival Zonghuang was a little uneasy, but thanks to Liangfeng Zhenyi's training, he could still calm down and kneel down opposite the Nineteenth Master quite calmly.

"Nineteenth Master, I... only recruited Sakura Chiyo."

While pouring tea for Gui Ji Zonghuang, Master Nineteen said, "So what do you think of this, young master?"

"I……"

"Let me ask you another way, what do you think of this situation, young master? What insights did you have from this incident? What did you learn?"

"I……"

Ghost Festival Zonghuang was still at a loss for words, and even more unhappy, but he still held it back, pondered for a moment, and said, "I don't have any experience yet, please give me some advice, Master Nineteenth."

"Not to mention giving advice, let me ask the young master another question. What do you think is the problem? Your father's old subordinates refuse to agree with you?"

When Gui Ji Zonghuang heard this, he couldn't help shouting, "They just think I'm young and look down on me!"

"So as long as the young master is older, can he be recognized by them?"

"...and they are all incompetent cowards who dare not help me at all!"

"It may not be that they are incompetent, but they are indeed accustomed to living a comfortable life and are not willing to take risks with their lives."

"Then how can I convince them?"

"To achieve this, the young master needs to learn too many things. That is not something that can be achieved overnight, and it is not something I want the young master to learn."

"Master Nineteen, what exactly do you want me to learn?"

"The first thing is to calm down, young master, you are impatient. If impatientness can help things, you can be impatient, but if not, why do you do meaningless things?"

"This, I..."

Ghost Festival Zonghuang also knows that he should calm down, but knowing is one thing and doing it is another. He can't suppress the fire in his chest now.

"...I'll calm myself down."

After a long time, Ghost Festival Zonghuang could hold back his irritation.

The Nineteenth Master then nodded and said, "The most important thing that young master should learn is not to let impatience affect your thinking, let alone make any decisions when you are impatient."

"I remember."

"The second thing is that the young man should learn to recognize the reality clearly. Don't just see a dilemma in front of you, but truly face it. Only by seeing clearly what the dilemma is is it possible to find a way to deal with it."

"My dilemma... is that the villagers cannot trust me. If I want to succeed, I need other help... Master Nineteenth, I can only rely on you."

"It seems like this, but is it really the case? Mo Zhaonu, Liangfeng City Lord, and the people from Sunset Hometown may not be able to help you."

"How can they help me?"

"This is about stepping out of the frame. Young Master, don't limit your gaze to Sunset Hometown. You must think of things outside Sunset Hometown. For example, why Mo Zhaonu and I came here, how did we come, how did we come What impact will it have on Sunset’s hometown?”

"you……"

Ghost Festival Zonghuang thought hard for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Nineteenth Master, you brought the Ghost Eyes, and Mo Zhaonu is a wanted traitor. You have attracted the attention of the outside world!" "Young Master is indeed smart, then How can you take advantage of this?”

"I...I can use this to threaten the people in Sunset Hometown and let them know that Sunset Hometown is about to be in danger, and only I can give them shelter!"

"What if they scatter because of this, or they hate you, young master, and want to drive you, me, and Mo Zhaonu away, or even capture us and hand us over in exchange for peace?"

"This... Master Nineteenth, you are definitely not afraid of those people. You can help me suppress them."

"Why should I do this? How does this benefit my purpose? How can a forced person help the young master? Does the young master know what happened in the Ghost Festival Shogunate back then?"

"Those are a group of greedy guys who despicably took away the power of the Oni Sacrificial Family!"

"There are factors of greed and ambition, but they are not all factors. General Oniji's brutal style is also an important factor."

"You! You can't say that about my father!"

"Young Master, do you want me to praise your father, or do you want me to help you recognize the truth?"

"you!"

"Young Master must have heard a lot of 'bad words' about your father, but because of your attachment to your father, you took them as malicious attacks, right?"

"I……"

"Still saying that, young master, do you want to live in your imagination, or do you want to face reality?"

"I, I don't know..."

"Then let's think about it carefully first. Today's conversation will end here. When the young master has the answer, come to me again."

Ghost Festival Zonghuang left with a tangled face and full of worries.

Then, Mo Zhaonu looked incomprehensible.

"Nineteenth Master, you seem to really want to assist Zong Huang?"

"Friend Mo Zhaonu, you have lived in the Central Plains for a long time, and you must have heard the story about how rare things can be lived in."

"You in front of me are very different from my impression."

"Time will completely change a person, but it cannot change a person at all. I just see more, think more, and have greater ambitions, that's all."

Mo Zhaonu stared at the strange yet familiar figure, and finally left silently.

He knew that he could not persuade the Nineteenth Master to turn back, nor could he use force to force him. It made no sense, and he could not defeat him with a fight. What could he do?

Mo Zhaonu left, and one night later, Ghost Sacrifice Zonghuang came again.

He was still reluctant, but still said, "Nineteenth Master, I am willing to face reality. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will try to truly understand what kind of person my father is."

"Very good, then let me tell you a little bit more about the young master, that is, violence and fear are always the worst ways to control people's hearts.

People who are afraid of you will not serve you seriously, but will only look for every opportunity to escape from you and rebel against you.

Threatening a person is the worst way to get that person to do your bidding. "

"Then what should I do?"

"You can't threaten a man, and pleading with him won't work, so what can you do?"

"Can I... help him?"

"To be precise, you can satisfy his desires and desires. For example, the people here long for peace and are afraid of war, so you have to show your ability to protect them. If they don't follow you, who can they follow? ?”

"What use do I have for someone who just hides behind me?"

"He will help you farm, make clothes, blacksmith, fish and hunt, build houses, and build roads. Don't you need someone like this, young master?"

"But I need people who can fight against my enemies for me more."

The Nineteenth Master smiled and said nothing, and Gui Ji Zonghuang suddenly realized that the person in front of him was such a person.

"Thank you, Master Nineteenth, for teaching me. You really enlightened me. I really hope I can become your teacher and learn from you all the time."

"It's just a little insight. If young master is willing to listen, I will say more..."
