The Great Seminary

Chapter 167 The most unpredictable thing is the human heart
Zhang Gui exaggerated Mr. Yin's abilities as much as he could, and every word he said touched Zhang Liuduo's heart and eased the old man's guilt.

Feeling that the time was right, he asked solemnly:

"Since Uncle has known Yin Zhen for a long time, do you know his background?"

"Although he hasn't admitted it, I think he's most likely a disciple of the ancient Dailuo Sect.

The descendant of the Emperor of Fengdu."

The Emperor of Fengdu, also known as the Lord of Mount Dai, was the ruler of the underworld in ancient times.

According to legend, it is located in Fengdu, the most famous mountain in Dongshengzhou, below Mount Dai.

She was in charge of six palaces and she herself lived in the "Shang Palace".

Under his command are the Five Ghost Emperors of the East, South, West, North and Center, each occupying a palace and establishing their own legal lineage, collectively known as the "Dai Luo Sect".

He is in charge of the order of the underworld and guards the five directions of the underworld.

Zhang Gui had never heard of such a top-level ancient sect.

Thanks to Zhang Liuduo's explanation, I finally understood the basics. I couldn't help but wonder:
"Disciples from such a large sect with such profound backgrounds led so many people to come to a desolate and ruined vassal state like Xianrong Island to cause trouble.

What do you think he did this for?"

"If I knew, no, if I had even guessed it, I wouldn't be so scared."

Zhang Liuduo smiled bitterly and said:
“Because I don’t know, I can’t predict whether the future will be good or bad.

For example, you see King Zhen winning a great victory, but what if Yin Zhen’s purpose is to destroy King Zhen’s luck?

It's not impossible.

Many ancient secret techniques involve mystery, and it is not surprising at all to ruin one's own luck in order to achieve a "good fortune after bad luck".

So our Pingyang Zhang family is now like duckweed in the water, and we might suddenly sink to the bottom without any warning.

That's why I used this as an excuse to give you the complete set of diagrams of the 'Iron Turtle Mechanical Ship'.

If you are smart enough, you will come to see me on your own initiative.

I will also pass on this replica jade talisman of the complete set of "Zonghenglu" to you, just in case."

As he spoke, he took out a jade talisman book from his arms and stuffed it into Zhang Gui's hand.

"In the current situation, it seems that not only our Pingyang Zhang family, a small ant, but even the giant beast of the entire Dongzhou world, will suffer a catastrophe!
That Immortal Ironwood, if that Immortal Ironwood is not dead, I am afraid that all the countries in the world will "die" once.

By then, I wonder how many wealthy and famous families will be ruined, and how many will be able to recover."

Zhang Liuduo sighed and said:

"All I can do is keep a backup plan."

"I'm not the only one with this 'backup plan', right?" Zhang Gui whispered with a half-smile.

"But not many." Zhang Liuduo said frankly, "and you are the one I value most."

"Why? It's because of my power and strength."

“Because you’ll live long enough in the future.

When the Kuafu bloodline awakens to your level, you can live for hundreds of years just with the blessing of the divine bush.

Generally, when a dynasty declines and there is a period of great strife, it will gradually prosper again with the support of a new dynasty.

The shortest is sixty years, and the longest is hundreds of years.

Unless ordinary people cultivate to the "Class B" level, they will become old and toothless even if they are still alive.

He had no energy left to rebuild the family, so he could only leave the task to his children and grandchildren.

The most common thing in the world is a son who is as good as his father.

Even if you or Jiuqing are geniuses, the offspring you give birth to might be as stupid as pigs and dogs."

Zhang Gui vaguely heard that Zhang Liuduo's words seemed to have a hidden meaning.

It was like cursing his son for being a fool, not understanding his painstaking efforts, not willing to give up his position, and forcing him to do something "unspeakable".

I couldn't help but feel sick.

But he could not refute the truth in Zhang Liuduo's words, after all, it was the same from his past life to his present life.

There are hundreds of examples of fathers who are as awesome as gods but their children are as stupid as shit.

Then Zhang Liuduo continued:
"And even if you live another hundred or eighty years, you will still be a young man.

When the world is at peace, and we take our time, there will be great things to do! " "My great-grandfather truly has the talent to plan for ten generations, and it's truly admirable."

“It’s the time and the situation.

If I hadn't been so old and encountered this terrible world, I wouldn't have had so much wisdom.

Okay, I've said everything I need to say.

In fact, as long as I don't ruin Lao Yin's plans, based on our past friendship, he won't be too harsh on our Pingyang Zhang family.

Alas, it is actually difficult to distinguish between good things and bad things now.

But if you are really smart, the best strategy is to hide your identity and flee far away to wait and see what happens."

This is to ensure that the Zhang family of Pingyang will not be cut off in case of any emergency, so Zhang Gui will cut off his own roots first.

"You old man, you really want to eat shit, you really are worthy of being my good uncle with a disgusting and bad father.

You've given me so many benefits, but in the end you're still so angry that you can't say anything good about me."

Zhang Gui thought silently in his heart and said dryly:

"Uncle, please forgive me. I have many concerns right now. I'm afraid I can't hide my identity and escape far away for the time being."

"I knew you weren't clear-minded enough to let go of wealth and power.

In fact, for someone like you, your life pursuits shouldn't be so vulgar.

You should know that eighty years ago, our Pingyang Zhang family also had a person named Zhang Liulong who had awakened the divine cluster and had a talent for cultivation similar to yours.

Although she is my cousin, she actually left home before I was born and went to the "Big Cave" in the center of our Dongsheng Continent.

There were a few letters at first.

It is said that there is a different world there, completely different from the ordinary places where we have established our own states.

Although people can come and go as they please, few leave.”

After a few words of comfort, I saw that Zhang Gui's expression changed from the extremely mixed emotions just now to a dead look.

Zhang Liuduo suddenly felt his will wasted and waved his hand.

“Let’s go, let’s go.

In short, remember, the debt owed to you by your family has now been repaid, and even more.

Although I don't expect anything in return, I can't be as distant as before."

As the saying goes, you should be grateful to those who feed you and grateful to those who work for you.

Zhang Gui felt that Lao Deng was being too realistic, but he still bowed and replied politely:

“That’s exactly what it should be.

Before, there were already some descendants of my family making a living in my fiefdom, but they were not large in scale.

if needed.

The clan might as well send some people to build a 'guild hall' and do some business."

“But are there taxes?”

"Since we are of the same clan and clan, naturally there is no need."

“So very good.

I'll tell someone to do it right away."

Zhang Liuduo finally smiled upon hearing this and spoke hurriedly.

Glancing at Zhang Gui's stunned expression, he stroked his beard.

"Gui'er, you are now the leader of a faction.

Don’t you understand that “dying in the future doesn’t prevent you from eating now”?

Just now, when I was planning for the future, it was certainly important to talk big and have a long-term vision.

But now, taking advantage of your words, I will quickly confirm the matter of the guild.

Isn't it important to make life easier for the clan members?"

Zhang Gui was stunned, and after a moment's hesitation, he bowed again and said sincerely:
"I would like to be taught."
