Chapter 2375: The Way of Huang Lao and the Black Robe
Xuanwu said calmly: "What I can find out is that this black robe is the mastermind behind Tao Yuanming. He has some way to make Tao Yuanming completely obey his orders, including having Tao Yuanming come forward to trick Liu Yi and Xu Xianzhi into joining that fake
The mafia is all done by men in black robes through Tao Yuanming. So, I am very worried now that our organization has been infiltrated and controlled by him in this way. Lord Qinglong, what do you think?"
Qinglong's eyes flashed coldly, and he said in a deep voice: "You just doubt me, don't you?"
Xuanwu said calmly: "I can't help it. It's not that I want to doubt you. It's really that the relationship between you and this black robe cannot be explained clearly. Moreover, judging from the current situation, the black robe can manipulate and play with the fake mafia, and the same can be done with us.
.You were able to receive the resources of your predecessor Qinglong and sit here because of the help of the black robe. You admit this, so why does he want to help you like this? What's the benefit?"
Qinglong gritted his teeth: "How do I know? I'm not a bug in his mind. Maybe he just wants to create suspicion and conflict between us. After all, the Mafia is a famous family with hundreds of years of history. The tree is big and has deep roots. He may not have
Isn’t it the best way to weaken us to eliminate our certainty and ability in one fell swoop and let us fight among ourselves?”
Bai Hu nodded: "Master Qinglong is right. We should not mess up our position at this time and fight among ourselves to give others opportunities. Our predecessors and predecessors made the organization what it is now because of too much internal friction.
.Now we have almost nothing, let alone the capital to fight among ourselves. If Lord Qinglong is really the spy of the black robe, then we are just afraid that he will eliminate and eradicate them one by one."
Suzaku said coldly: "That's not necessarily the case. Maybe someone wants to use the family to go against Liu Yu."
Bai Hu asked back: "Why does this black robe want to go against Liu Yu? Is there any evidence? Just because he helped the demon thief kill his predecessor Suzaku when he was in Kuaiji? Then his opponents should be us."
Qinglong said solemnly: "The position of this black robe is unclear. He claimed to protect the world of the family, but he eliminated his predecessor Suzaku and destroyed all the secret inventories of our organization. Later, when Liu Laozhi of the Beifu Army gained power, he used Huan Xuan to
He killed Liu Laozhi with his own hands, but I don’t quite understand his intention.”
Xuanwu said sternly: "In my opinion, his intention is very clear, that is, on the surface, he cannot form a powerful court that can centralize power. Regardless of whether this court is the emperor, Wang Ningzhi, or Liu Laozhi, it does not matter.
Including Liu Yu.”
Bai Hu frowned: "Do you mean to always maintain a system where the emperor or the person in power is weak and unable to truly hold power? Just like the king and the horse shared the world at the founding of the country?"
Xuanwu curled his lips: "The information he got from me seems to be like this. Including our organization, he seems not to want to be like the old gangster Qiankun in the past, who can control and control everything behind the scenes. But if it is like this now
, unable to hold power, unable to cause chaos, he is very happy."
Qinglong laughed: "If you are unable to take power, you will be able to cause chaos. Lord Xuanwu said it well. But when did our mafia end up in this situation? And what good does this do to him?"
Xuanwu said calmly: "I have been thinking about this issue a while ago, until one day, because I wanted to study Tao Yuanming, I read his Peach Blossom Spring again, and suddenly I figured out one thing. He is in
I don’t know what is written in this article, whether it is Han, Wei or Jin, it fits the ideal of this black robe."
The other three people said in unison: "What ideal?!"
Xuanwu smiled slightly: "It is the so-called Huang-Lao way of hearing the sounds of chickens and dogs, and never interacting with each other until death. What he wants is to have no country, no court, no emperor, no powerful ministers. In short, no one can control him.
Ask him to do this or that."
Suzaku laughed dumbly: "This is too far-fetched, isn't it? In life, production, work, spinning and cultivating the land always require organization and management. How can we really not have these?"
Qinglong also nodded and said: "That's right, Hei Pao doesn't farm the land himself. He eats and drinks whatever he wants. Doesn't he have to live off other people's blood and sweat?"
Bai Hu remained silent and fell into deep thought. Xuanwu looked at him and said with a smile: "What else did you think of?"
Bai Hu murmured: "You mentioned Huang Lao's way, but I thought of something else. The so-called Taoists, since ancient times, have always wanted to cultivate immortality and achieve immortality. The reason why Tianshi's way can confuse people's hearts is also
It relies on making believers believe that they can gain eternal life and get rid of all kinds of hardships in the world. Wushisan is a kind of medicinal stone that confuses people's minds, but it can indeed produce illusory pleasure after taking it, like falling into the clouds and fog. This
Point, I think you all have a deep understanding of it.”
Suzaku said coldly: "I haven't touched that thing for a long time, but the feeling is really unforgettable. I couldn't help but want to take it again many times. I relied on various methods to barely resist not touching it."
Having said this, he looked at Qinglong: "You're not still smoking now, are you?"
Qinglong shook his head: "I haven't smoked as much as you before, and I haven't become addicted to it at all. It's just because I knew it wasn't a good thing from the beginning, so I used it less. It's easy to quit."
Having said this, he looked at Bai Hu with a smile: "Of course, compared to you, I have never touched one in my life, so naturally I don't need to worry about quitting, but your life will be a lot less fun.
"
Bai Hu laughed: "It's not that only walking is fun. For me, it's more fun to hold power and control everything. I think this is also the fun of black robe. He doesn't want to be the one in power.
, because that means too much responsibility, and he has to take care of thousands of people in the world, so cultivating immortals and attaining Taoism, jumping out of the three realms, and not being in the five elements, is probably his pursuit."
Xuanwu laughed and said, "Master Baihu is right. If a cultivator does not produce himself and needs support from others, then a large number of believers must be engaged in production to provide for his experiments on various elixirs. This is not consistent with reality.
There is a fundamental conflict between the kings, the powerful ministers and the need for the people to serve the country. After thinking about this, I began to understand what Heipao wanted. What he wanted to maintain was that the aristocratic families in the past used the emperor as an excuse and restrained each other so that they could not dominate.
, the manors of various families were filled with hidden tenants, and then a large number of them joined the Tianshi Dao for him to drive. That's why he helped Sun En's rebellion, and he asked Huan Xuan to get rid of Liu Laozhi, all for the same purpose
One, that is to evade Wu land and make it his own!"
