"If you can't **** the Bone Origin Grass by your means, how can a mere Golden Core cultivator like me have a chance?" Zhang Shiping said with a calm face.
He began to think in his mind how to arrange the retreat for himself and other clansmen, especially Zhang Tianya and Zhang Tianwu, the two clansmen in the later stage of foundation establishment.
But the most troublesome thing is that although the person in front of him is surnamed Qin, he is the ancestor of the Zhang family after all. He only needs to use his own blood as a guide to search for many members of the Zhang family including himself.
As for the members of the Zhang family in the secular world, Zhang Shiping is not worried. More than 200 years ago, the Zhang family was distributed in more than a hundred cities in secular countries. There were more than a hundred branches, and there were more than 800,000 registered clan members. Now that two hundred years have passed, the Zhang family now has nearly two million secular clan members registered.
And the children born to those Zhang family daughters who were married, although they also have some Zhang family blood, but these people are not considered Zhang family. In fact, Zhang Tianwu, the elder of the Zhang Family Establishment Foundation, is in this situation.
He originally belonged to an extremely remote branch of the Zhang family, but the Zhang family of this branch is not a broken family in the local area, but a modest squire.
Among the storytellers, when it comes to the country gentry and aristocrats, the division is extremely large. The good ones are repairing bridges and repairing roads every year, cherishing loneliness every day, and the bad ones are bullying the village, rampant and domineering, like a local emperor .
The line that Zhang Tianwu came from has not created much foundation over the years, but it has its own way of doing things, and it will neither prosper nor decline.
This branch does things that bully the village and run rampant. After all, rabbits don’t eat grass beside their nests, but they only do it once or twice over the years to repair bridges and roads, and more often they do it occasionally every year. One or two young and handsome students, this kind of good deed is not costly, so the family's reputation has always been neither good nor bad.
People in the world are like this. Some people have been doing their best to help others, but they don’t know the person being helped. Sometimes they wish that the person who helped him would die early, and the people who are on the sidelines, once they see That person didn't do any good deeds anymore, he just beat drums and gongs and yelled, as if this person had done some heinous thing, and he felt that he had done some great good deed.
But when these people met an evil person who murdered a lot of people, they put down their butcher knives out of pity, and they were able to spit on their own, talking about it like crazy, as if this evil person was the Buddha of the ten thousand families.
Things in the world are so ridiculous, the opposite of black is not white, and the opposite of white is not black, it may be gray, or any color that people want.
It was as if in the years of drought and floods, even though the grain in Zhang's granary was piled up, the people outside were so hungry that they sold their sons and daughters, they didn't show kindness to give porridge to relieve the disaster. Instead, he kept his eyes cold and waited for the government to come to him without any haste.
At first they declined a few times with embarrassment on their faces, until they saw the angry face of the parent officer, and then the Zhang family agreed with embarrassment on their faces.
Then, in this famine year, while selling grain at a price slightly lower than the market price, they used miscellaneous grains to cook porridge for disaster relief. Naturally, this kind of behavior won't give you a good reputation, but it doesn't have that kind of notorious reputation, because in everyone's impression, a country gentleman should be like this.
After the famine, storytellers began to tell how parents and officials outwitted the country gentry and worked for the welfare of the people, and the so-called good things began to be passed on by word of mouth.
In this matter, not many people starved to death, the country gentry got benefits, and the parents and officials won a good reputation, all parties were satisfied, and everyone was happy! As for those who unfortunately starved to death, it can only be said that they are unfortunate, and the sacrifices caused by the lagging of the rules are nothing more than that.
Because everything in this world has its own bottom line and rules, such as name and utensils, belonging and court, a family without that kind of thinking cannot be contaminated no matter what. If the squires donated porridge to help the disaster without the court officials coming forward, it might not be a compliment after the fact. After all, an unnecessary rhetoric such as "inviting to buy people's hearts, what do you want to do" can make a family suffer a catastrophe!
Good deeds do not necessarily have good rewards, as long as you protect yourself, it is not easy to do evil deeds.
The Zhang family relied on this way of handling things and continued from generation to generation.
However, or because of this, they behave too mediocrely, and the descendants gradually become mediocre. They haven't detected their spiritual roots for several generations. Seeing their own families in the county, they don't like to see them.
But at this time, a daughter of the Zhang family married out. Her husband passed the exam. In order to marry the high-ranking official woman who favored him, this person divorced her because she was "disobedient to her parents".
At that time, Zhang Tianwu didn't come back with him, but he also understood some things when he was in his teens, so he sneaked back to see his mother while his grandparents were not paying attention, so he was lucky enough to go to the county town to participate in the Zhang family's spirit test ceremony . When his spiritual root was detected, the Zhang family took him back to the family without hesitation, restored him to the surname Zhang, and recorded it in the genealogy. As for the man's family who came to make trouble and wanted to get Zhang Tianwu back, they were directly beaten out by the Zhang family.
This kind of scholar, who was lucky enough to win, naively thought that he could shake the deep-rooted aristocratic family? Originally, the Zhang family in the county city wanted to make a move, causing the heartless man to lose his official position and change his name, so as to calm down the resentment in Zhang Tianwu's mother and son. But in the end, Zhang Tianwu's mother felt sympathetic and cared about the relationship between the two of them for more than ten years, and said "no debt to each other", and followed her son to Chongling Mountain to end their relationship.
After Zhang Shiping finished speaking, Qin Feng looked at Zhang Shiping coldly and said indifferently:
"If you can get the best, it doesn't matter if you don't get it. You can figure it out for yourself. And put away all your little thoughts. If I use the bloodline source method with all my strength, the two thousand or so cultivation bases of you You will never be able to escape. Maybe you can escape to the West Desert and go to the White Horse Temple to be a Jialan protector. There are not many places in the world that I dare not go, and that is one of them."
"The law of the bereaved is to refine the soul." Zhang Shiping was silent for a while before he asked through his teeth.
Qin Feng looked at Zhang Shiping in surprise, and then laughed.
"madman!"
…
…
After a while, the rising sun between heaven and earth jumped out of the sea, shining red on the stratus clouds. The lingering scent of incense on Qin Feng's body finally disappeared completely.
