Myths and Dharma, starting from Erlang Shen

Chapter 66: Even in jail, you have to go to school
  "Lao Ji, are you really not going to gamble anymore?"

Seeing that Ji Ren, Zhuge Ran, Zhang Yi, and Tian Zhi were fine, Zhuge Qinglan and the others went home.

As soon as they left, Zhang Jingshou, who was proud of being in jail, rushed to Ji Ren's side and shouted familiarly.

The rest of the people also looked at it.

"We won one million taels this time. Do you think any other company will really let us come to gamble? Or, after we finish fighting with the King of Wu today, we will fight with the King of Wei tomorrow, the day after tomorrow with the King of Han, and the day after tomorrow with the Prince, and then we Never go out again for the rest of your life? No, this should be reported in the Yama Hall." Ji Ren said.

When everyone heard this, their mood dropped slightly. Few of the people sitting here were really stupid.

The king of Wu will not give you any money, and the other families will not do the same.

Otherwise, they really won't live long.

After all, cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing one's parents.

"Then don't win so much." Zhang Jingshou muttered in a low voice. He was under strict control in the palace, and he had never won so much money as he did today.

"If you win a small amount of money, do you still need to go to a gambling house? Together, we have a million taels of silver. With so much money, how can we do any business without making a small amount of money?" Ji Ren said.

To make money, if you give him enough capital, and with the connections of so many people here, he can split his duties and make a small profit.

And Ji Ren also has a killer move, his almighty master can also make elixirs!

Without the help of elixirs, the birth of pork was a technological revolution, but Ji Ren could only eat the first bite of meat, and in the end he might not even be able to share the soup. After all, there is really no technical content in castration. After these personal explorations, You can always find it, but if you add the elixir, Ji Ren can sit and count money in the future.

"Okay, then all the money I win this time will be given to Lao Jiqian, and we can make money by doing business." Zhang Jingshou said without hesitation after hearing this.

Seeing such a cheerful Zhang Jingshou, Ji Ren was surprised and looked at Zhang Jingshou in disbelief. Zhang Jingshou also won over one hundred thousand taels of silver this time. He really didn't expect that Zhang Jingshou believed in him so much, and subconsciously said: "You Don’t be afraid that I will lose.”

"Good brother, be loyal. You helped me win this money anyway. I believe you." Zhang Jingshou said. If he loses, he will have a good reason to ask Ji Ren to take him to the gambling house again.

Although the big gambling houses in the capital are not easy to get to, there are other places besides the capital.

You can take a boat down to the south of the Yangtze River and visit several other countries.

Or wait until some time to find a way to be an envoy to the Song Dynasty and take Ji Ren to the Song Dynasty gambling house to gamble.

Da Song is rich.

Therefore, Zhang Jingshou was not afraid at all.

"Count me in." Mi Liang immediately supported.

"Count me in too." Zhang Gan immediately echoed.

The rest of the people also responded that it was really easy money and they did not cherish it.

And the thoughts in his heart are similar to Zhang Jingshou's. If it doesn't work, why not find a gambling house and let Ji Ren make them rich?

Looking at the cheerful group of people, Ji Ren was also slightly moved. Although he had some guesses about what these people were thinking, he believed that these young men were the only ones willing to give money. He smiled and said, "Then wait for it to come out." After prison, we will work together to make money."

Everyone responded with a roar, chatting and laughing, without the slightest worry about going to jail. Especially not long after, Zhang Jingshou became happy when he saw King Wu come in, and he would tease him from time to time.

In the end, the cells were changed, and the ones on King Wu's side were separated from those on their side, so that they were not locked together, thus avoiding further conflicts.

But after such avoidance, Zhang Jingshou felt bored. After the initial enthusiasm, being in jail became more and more boring.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for someone interesting to come.

Three days after Ji Ren was imprisoned, Zhuge Yuquan came with a book and the Lingxiang Jade. He handed the Lingxiang Jade to Ji Ren and said, "Excellent grade, even if you are in the cell, it will not delay your practice."

"Thank you, teacher." Ji Ren happily accepted the Lingxiang Jade. With these two pieces of jade, his cultivation path would become smoother.

Although he does not need to describe the specific form of the Dharma like ordinary warriors, he needs the spiritual energy in the spiritual jade.

"Since you call me master, I will naturally take care of you." Zhuge Yuquan said nonchalantly.

Everyone in the prison had heard the name of Ghost Dragon from their fathers. They were originally afraid of snakes and scorpions and backed away. But when they saw Zhuge Yuquan casually holding two pieces of spiritual jade, they couldn't help but be jealous. This elder of Zhuge's family was indeed wealthy.

"This is the schedule I made for you. Even in prison, you can't relax in your practice." Zhuge Yuquan said and handed another piece of paper to Ji Ren, "Be my student. It’s not an easy task. Because ordinary teachers will teach you how to practice step by step and let you learn step by step according to their experience. They only teach the technique, not the method, and they don’t know what it is. And I will not only teach you. He will also teach you the subtle techniques and basic avenues."

"Basic Dao?" Ji Ren asked doubtfully after hearing this. The Dharma is subtle, so why is Dao the foundation?

"Yes, the Tao can be taught, but it is very Tao. The Tao that can be described in words is ultimately a small Tao. I will tell you all my superficial knowledge about this world. You listen carefully, but you can also completely forget it later, because You have to truly travel around the world, see with your eyes, see the height of the sky, see the vastness of the ocean, see the majesty of the mountains, see the cycle of the four seasons... and then after you have finished reading, come and tell me your way. "Zhuge Yuquan said.

Ji Ren's face moved slightly when he heard this. After Zhuge Yuquan said so much, the key lies in the word "view".

Use your own eyes to see the essence of the world?

Ji Ren recalled the first talent of weakening the Sky Eye given to him by Yang Jian. He seemed to have not understood it yet.

"Well said."

Although everyone hid far away, the prison was so big, Zhuge Yuquan's words still fell into their ears. The others didn't react at all, but Zhang Jingshou clapped his hands excitedly, as if he had met a close friend, and suddenly came over.

Seeing him like this, Zhuge Yuquan looked unnatural on his face. Although he didn't take everything to heart, he actually knew it well. He knew that others were afraid of him, so he didn't expect that there would be someone who took the initiative to come up to him. .

"Your Highness, this is Mr. Ghost Dragon!"

The faces of Zhang Jingshou's close companions changed greatly when they saw it, and they hurriedly tried to pull Zhang Jingshou back, but Zhang Jingshou pushed them away and said: "I know, Mr. Guilong, he is not treated well like me. A I am a die-hard scholar. When I was young, I asked Master Confucius that he was nine feet six inches tall and powerful. He also traveled around the world and was exposed to wind and sun. Shouldn't he look majestic? Why? He was a kind-hearted old man. He said I was deviant. That teacher wanted to die and complained to my father."

"Later, when I got a little older and spring came, I read the Analects of Confucius and found the above sentence: 'In late spring, when the spring clothes are ready, five or six crown princes and six or seven boys will bathe in Yi, the wind will dance with Ug, and they will return home chanting', He said that Master Confucius also took his disciples to play by the river and recite poems, so why not go out? Then the gentleman went on to seek death and make a living, saying that I was not good at learning."

"Each one of them was holding a book. The Analects of Confucius only has 16,000 words, but their annotations are 100,000 words, and they asked me to memorize it. I couldn't have my own ideas, otherwise I would be deviant and a group of people with bad brains. "

Listening to Zhang Jingshou's words, the civil servants Zhuge Ran and Tian Zhi were speechless. Zhang Gan and Mi Liang kept nodding in agreement. They are right.

Ji Ren smiled bitterly. He should say it or not, but people and laws are consistent. Zhu Houzhao was a famously absurd emperor. To say he was absurd was largely due to the fact that he was incompatible with the traditions of the time and was deviant. The emperor, however, gave himself official titles, including the title of Governor of Military Affairs, Mighty General, Chief Military Officer, and Duke of the State. However, Zhang Jingshou condensed his Dharma and appearance, which was naturally not in line with the mainstream of this era.

"What you said is true. There are too many stupid gentlemen in this world." Zhuge Yuquan nodded slightly, expressing his appreciation for Zhang Jingshou and said, "You can listen to this class together."
