I'm a demon cultivator

Chapter 176 The Demon Cultivator is Really Good at Bewitching People
Tan Shuchang was also quite surprised that so many things could happen just by sitting down in class. And the speed at which this seat was upgraded was faster than his hard work.

So he walked to the first row in the middle and prepared to sit down.

Because there is no one in this position.

However, before Tan Shuchang sat down, he heard the monk Shushan, who was in charge of teaching, asking him, "Student Tan, do you know why I am asking you about the way you usually ask for money?"

"Sir, I don't know." Tan Shuchang did not have the ability to read minds or distinguish the real from the fake, so how could he guess the true thoughts of this scholar?

People’s thoughts are always changing, and they are the most unpredictable.

"Because a gentleman does not seek for anything. Then do you know why I have to ask your parents whether they like literature or martial arts?" The monk from Shushan asked again after answering.

But this time, when he asked the question, he looked at all the students in the classroom.

Some of these students have childish faces, and their emotions are all over their faces. They are real students. Some of them look young, but they have no expression on their faces, and are not moved by the seat change. It is obvious that they are a group of "old students" pretending to be young.

And this question is obviously not just asked to Tan Shuchang.

However, upon hearing this, Tan Shuchang could guess, so he stood up and bowed briefly before saying, "Sir, is it because a gentleman does not act rashly?"

"Wonderful! Very good!" The monk from Shushan praised continuously.

Tan Shuchang felt somewhat ashamed to accept the title.

Because this is just the basic idea of ​​magic cultivation.

A gentleman does not ask for money greedily. Writing a letter to ask for money from someone in an open and honest manner is not asking for money greedily.

A gentleman does not act rashly. As long as his power is so great that everyone is afraid of him, then there is naturally no need to form cliques for personal gain, gang up on those who are different, and exclude those who are different from him.

These are the upright ways of practicing magic!

Tan Shuchang had never expected that this gentleman was actually a hidden magician!

After praising Tan Shuchang, the monk in charge of teaching, put his hands behind his back, raised his chin slightly and said, "I know you are dissatisfied with my seating arrangement, or you don't care at all. But what if I say that this is actually related to your future positions?"

When they heard that it was related to the appointment, those students who didn't care about the seat change at all and just wanted to get a higher status couldn't help but frown.

"Sir, I wonder what the connection is between the two?" An old man pretending to be young couldn't help but stand up and ask, and his tone was very polite.

However, this face was not given to this institution, nor to the person who recommended him, but to Shushan Immortal Sect.

"Before answering this question, let me ask you a question first. Do you know why I let student Tan sit in the first row in the middle?" The monk Shushan, who was in charge of teaching, smiled but did not answer. Instead, he asked about Tan Shuchang.

"Does this mean he is rich and powerful?" This was the core of the two questions, and everyone present naturally understood it at a glance.

“That’s it, but it’s also more than that.”

The Shushan monk said calmly: "Every student in our Shushan Academy has the possibility to obtain the position of steward. And this position, with the value of our Shushan Academy, I think all the students can understand that this is a very important part of your resume."

"With this experience, your classmates may still be busy editing books and doing things, but you have already started to take charge. Even if you go to take charge directly, you can greatly reduce the time you need to be in charge, and you can be promoted and transferred earlier."

"As for the position of steward, the power can be great or small. If it is used properly, there is no telling how much benefit can be gained for oneself and even one's family every year. So, what kind of person can be most assured in handing over such an important position?"

The monk in charge of teaching said this and pointed to the people sitting in the first row. In addition to Tan Shuchang and the clever girl, there were three others.

When everyone in the classroom saw this gesture from the monk Shushan, they naturally understood what he meant.

He feels most confident in giving the management position to these five people.

However, all the students in the class, whether they were real students or just students for show, could not help but frown, full of dissatisfaction.

"I know you are not convinced, but I have my reasons for doing this. May I ask you, what kind of person is not greedy?" The Shushan monk smiled when he saw this, because it was all within his expectations.

This scene happens every time we recruit new students.

"Moral gentleman?" a student said subconsciously.

As for this question, not only the monk Shushan who was in charge of teaching, but also the other students in the classroom and the "Lao Deng" who was pretending to be young, all shook their heads.

At this time, the monk in charge of teaching took the initiative to answer: "People who already have a lot will be the least greedy! The family backgrounds of these students show that they don't care about petty gains, so we can safely delegate power to them! On the contrary, if someone who has nothing gets such a position, not only will he always want to show off his power, but he will also rack his brains to get benefits for himself. At that time, won't the school be in a mess?"

After hearing these words, the students present couldn't help but nod their heads, and those who came here to get a certain status couldn't help but look thoughtful.

In the land of the Four Pillars, no matter what you do, your identity and origin must be taken into consideration.

Therefore, the words of this monk from Shushan made the immortals among these monks agree with them. After all, they had also gained a lot of benefits by relying on their status and background.

However, just when all the students in the classroom began to agree with this statement, a figure in a black robe stood up.

Then, he simply bowed to the monk Shushan who was in charge of teaching, and began to say: "Sir, I do not agree with this statement."

"I don't agree? Mr. Tan, what do you mean?" The monk Shushan who was in charge of teaching suddenly looked gloomy.

After all, these four words are no longer just a refutation of him.

The person who stood up and spoke at this time was naturally Tan Shuchang. Hearing this, he began to explain his own views: "Sir, your words are too one-sided. Relatively speaking, I agree more with what the Taoist friend said just now. Only moral gentlemen can be the least greedy!"

"Sir, you said that a gentleman does not seek anything, and he does not seek anything if he is rich and powerful. However, corruption is rampant in the officialdom, and compared with those bullies who prey on the people, it is just a difference in the way they eat. Let me ask, how many of these people who can serve as officials are born poor? They are either from local wealthy families or descendants of generals and ministers. These people are born with a lot, and even the hard work of ordinary people throughout their lives cannot compare to what they have when they are born. But are these people not greedy?"

"Sir, you said that a gentleman does not act rashly, and does not act rashly when he has power. But aren't there many cases of eliminating dissidents in the court? And how many of these people's backgrounds are not the same as what I said above?"

When Tan Shuchang said this, he clasped his fists and bowed to the monk Shushan who was in charge of teaching: "Please, sir, help me solve my doubts!"

These words were undoubtedly earth-shattering.

Because this is completely inconsistent with the prevailing concept in the Four Pillars. Here, people believe that people with good backgrounds must be excellent in all aspects. But now Tan Shuchang's words are saying that these people are nothing more than a bunch of filthy and despicable people!
"absurd!"

The monk Shushan, who was in charge of teaching, was furious, but considering Tan Shuchang's way of asking for money and his parents' hobby of bossing people around, he suppressed his anger and instead scolded, "Go out and listen to this class!"

Tan Shuchang did not think that what he said was absurd. He just felt that this monk from Shushan was indeed a hidden magic monk.

After all, who else but a demon cultivator could so openly expound on the idea of ​​cannibalism?

Therefore, Tan Shuchang walked out of the classroom obediently, out of respect for Master Shushan, the senior master of the magic path!

As long as the philosophy is the same, the one who understands it can be the teacher, regardless of the strength of one's cultivation!

As Tan Shuchang walked out, the students in the classroom all looked extremely strange. If the person who said these words was a descendant of a pariah, then they would all be able to understand.

But this person... seems to be at least a disciple from a noble family, right?

Then, these students, whether they were real or just trying to confuse their identities, were all stunned, because after Tan Shuchang walked out, he did not stand outside to listen to the class, but just left.

After all, with Tan Shuchang's cultivation level, he could still hear clearly what was being said here even if he walked away.

He walked out to show respect to this senior demon.

As for his departure, if this senior demon really acted like a teacher and wanted to say something about it, then Tan Shuchang would have no choice but to fulfill his duty as a younger disciple of the demon.

In the world of magic, strength is everything!
So, the monk Shushan, who was in charge of teaching, stopped teaching and went straight to the dean of the academy to find out about Tan Shuchang's background.

Naturally, the origins of Tan Shuchang could not be found, but the red lotus crucian carp was found.

After all, this information is almost public.

So, the monk from Shushan said immediately: "Kick this man out of the academy! We can still remove him from office if he is nominated by a small family."

"It is possible, but brother, why don't you think about it carefully, which family does this Honglian belong to?" The dean of Shushan Academy, who is also a cultivator with countless years of cultivation, shook his head immediately after hearing this.

Of course, he was able to become the dean not just because of his status, but also because of his ability. For example, as soon as he heard the word "Honglian", he knew which family it belonged to.

"Which red lotus?" The Shushan monk who was in charge of teaching had not yet reacted.

Therefore, the dean of Shushan Academy had no choice but to say, "Who else could it be? It must be the Red Lotus family, whose bloodline can condense a blood fairy lotus in every generation! The person who recommended this student Tan is a direct descendant of the Red Lotus family. If we take the place of this student Tan, then that direct descendant will have to take charge. By then, it's fine if nothing happens, but if something goes wrong..."

After listening to his dean brother’s detailed explanation, how could the Shushan monk who was in charge of teaching not understand which Honglian Family this was.

A family that had produced a True Immortal, thus causing a transformation in the family bloodline. However, the True Immortal ancestor of this family did not care much about the descendants of his clan.

I never meant to take care of anyone.

However, although the True Immortal Ancestor did not care about how his clansmen were doing when they were alive, he cared a lot about how they died.

If it was a normal death, if it was a normal death in a normal fight, the True Immortal Ancestor would not do anything. But if it was due to calculation or conspiracy, then the True Immortal Ancestor would not hesitate to use True Immortal means.

In the current situation, dismissing Tan Shuchang from his nomination and letting Honglian Crucian take the position would be considered a conspiracy...

"Then let him take up the post earlier!"

The Shushan monk who was in charge of teaching said angrily.

In response to this, the dean of Shushan Academy did not refuse but nodded in agreement. After all, as long as it did not involve the Honglian family, it was just an insignificant matter.

So, before he finished a class, Tan Shuchang was told that he had successfully graduated from Shushan Academy!

……

"So, Brother Tan, what did you do?" Honglian Crucian Carp, who was still outside the academy and had not left yet, stared at the graduation certificate in Tan Shuchang's hand in amazement.

A book made of Taiyi refined gold, half an inch thick, with one hundred and eighty-two pages, or ninety-one sheets.

This is a magical instrument, specially used to record the achievements of the student in the school.

In other words, it is used to show off in front of relatives and friends in the future. The value of Shushan Academy is extremely high in this spiritual realm!
As for Tan Shuchang's book, it was not empty either. It recorded in detail the content of his argument with the monk from Shushan, centered on the two viewpoints formed on "a gentleman does not seek for too much" and "a gentleman does not act rashly."

"It's just a trivial matter, Fellow Daoist Honglian, can I go and take up the post directly now?" Tan Shuchang asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Honglian Crucian Carp hurriedly took out the ancient Buddhist Dharma contract, unlocked it for Tan Shuchang, and then went to make arrangements.

In response to this, Tan Shuchang had no choice but to pretend that he had recovered his skills.

Then Tan Shuchang discovered that this fellow Taoist Honglian was undoubtedly a fellow Taoist who was afraid of death. Because he was extremely efficient in his work, it took him less than an hour before he was told that he could take up his post at Tiangui Ridge in Mangshan.

"Brother Tan, did you offend anyone at Shushan Academy?" However, when it came to farewell, Honglian Crucian Carp couldn't help but ask this.

"Why do you say that?" Tan Shuchang asked. It seemed that he had not offended anyone except for a dispute with others! Just a few ideological contradictions would not kill anyone, right?
"In other places of Mangshan, the Yin God only appears occasionally, but in Tianguiling Mountain, the Yin God is bound to appear..." Honglian Crucian Carp said this, he thought for a moment, and then took out the blood-red crystal-like lotus again: "Brother Tan, you will be in charge this time, so take this blood fairy lotus with you, it has the ability to suppress evil spirits..."

He was afraid that Tan Shuchang would die, and then he would have to find someone else to take his place.

Although it is not difficult to find a one-certificate immortal who is willing to stay in such a ghost place, the benefits given by his Honglian family are extremely limited! This makes it difficult for people in his Honglian family to find a one-certificate immortal who is willing to go.

As for lowering the requirements and allowing people with incomplete cultivation to go, it would be no different from killing the other person.

"Thank you, Brother Honglian." Tan Shuchang stretched out his hand to take it, not being polite at all.

However, after being taken away by Tan Shuchang, Honglian Crucian Carp was reluctant to part with it, so he quickly reminded him: "Brother Tan, this is a precious thing of my family. I'm lending it to you temporarily. Don't lose it!"

Because he saw that Tan Shuchang was often like this, as if he had borrowed the money based on his own ability, so why should he return it?
