"Tell me about your overall layout." The old poison seemed to be trying his best to prolong his tolerance.
"Master, let me ask you a question first. In your opinion, what is the key to the rise and fall of a sect?"
"Nonsense, it must be the number of top masters. If there are more masters, they will naturally prosper." The old poison said.
"No, high-end combat power can only represent the strength of a sect, but it cannot determine the key to its prosperity. The key to the prosperity of a sect lies in the number of followers or disciples at the bottom."
"There is a lot of people! A super expert can easily kill thousands of mediocre players." The old poison retorted.
"I admit what you said, but even if he is a top expert, can he kill all Buddhist and Taoist believers in the world?" Qin Lang asked back. The answer to this question is obvious, so the old poison can't refute, so Qin Lang went on to say , "Because the followers of Buddhism and Taoism are inexhaustible, the luck of Buddhism and Taoism has always been there, and they can always be strong. The Jianghu sect is actually a pyramid structure. The bigger the bottom of the pyramid, the bigger the bottom of the pyramid. The top of the pyramid is higher, this is a general rule. Although there are some sects that occasionally produce some shocking geniuses, these people are still like shooting stars piercing the night sky in the long history of Jianghu. Although they were dazzling at that time, But it can’t last forever. Therefore, if I can become a shocking genius, or make the Poison Sect shine again, but if I can’t solve the fundamental problem, the revived Poison Sect will still weaken.”
"On this point, I agree with Qin Lang's point of view." Fang Baiqiu has been listening to the conversation between the two, but only occasionally interjected, "There is a saying that the lower building determines the upper building, the huge number of believers and disciples, It determines the number of masters produced, and also determines the rise and fall of a sect."
"I understand what this kid said. Think about it carefully. In the era when our Poison Sect was prosperous, many people were instinctively afraid of poison and poisonous substances. Many people even worshiped and revered poisonous insects as gods. That At that time, the Poison Sect had many disciples, and there were many masters. It was the time when the Poison Sect was strong. Later, as these people lost their fear of poison and poisonous insects, the Poison Sect had fewer disciples, and the entire Sect also weakened. gone."
"That's right, that's the truth. You also said that when the Demon Sect is prosperous, it is often a time when the world is in chaos and the people are in dire straits, because at this time many people think that Buddha and Taoist ancestors can't protect them at all, and they can only become like demon gods." Only by being ruthless can you survive in troubled times. Therefore, you cannot deny that the more believers and disciples, the sect will prosper accordingly. I think this is called adhering to the fate of heaven and earth—uh, it sounds a little Pretending to be sophisticated, but I think it should be like this." Qin Lang frankly stated what he was thinking.
Hearing these words, the old poison fell into silence. After a long time, he sighed: "Thanks to me who has been in the world for so many years, I never thought that you would not be able to see clearly."
"It's just because you are in this mountain. Master, you are trapped in this chess game of revitalizing the Poison Sect, how can you see clearly what is outside the chess game." Qin Lang said, "Actually, I didn't understand it before, but listen to you After talking about some things about Mozong, I really understood this truth."
"So, you are going to recruit more disciples now? But, these street punks can also be regarded as disciples and believers?" The old poison still looks down on those street punks.
"Of course it counts, why can't it count?" Qin Lang said with a smile, "For these street gangsters, the Buddha and the Taoist Lord have given up on them. Believers or disciples, so as to work for the reconstruction of the Poison Sect. I know that many people in the Jianghu look down on these gangsters, and they don’t even regard them as people in the Jianghu, but there are many people in this gang and they are very influential. Being able to control it in the hands of our Poison Sect is actually quite a powerful force that can do many unexpected things. At least, it can lay a solid foundation for us to rebuild the Poison Sect."
"To be honest, I'm not as optimistic as you are." The old poison shook his head, "These people are just a mob, and they don't have much faith. What kind of climate can a believer without faith be?"
"The mob can also be trained to be an excellent teacher. As for beliefs, these people's beliefs are actually very simple. They are nothing more than looking for a job to support their families. How many people are really willing to live a life of blood licking on the edge of a knife, especially those with wives and children?" people." After spending some time with people like Han Sanqiang and Man Niu, Qin Lang had a good idea of his mentality towards these people.
"Okay. Even if you can gather all the punks in the market in China, what can you do?"
"There is no need to unify all the gangsters in China. I don't have that much ability, and it would be too risky to do that, because Six Doors will never allow anyone to unify all the gangsters in China. I just want to It is enough to gather the underworld forces in Pingchuan Province, then I will naturally have the capital to rebuild the Poison Sect."
"Wait a minute—what kind of money can these street punks give you?" the old poison said.
"This is what I learned from the Ye family. Why the Ye family can rise rapidly, why the Ye family can control Pingchuan Province for decades, many people think it is because of the influence of the Ye family in the military and government, but they don't see it. The foundation of the Ye family in Jianghu, if not for the fact that the Ye family has Wolongtang and Wuyitang, it is impossible for them to control Pingchuan Province for so many years, and they cannot accumulate so much wealth abroad. Because many members of the Ye family although In the military and political system, you are in a high position, but many things still need those small gangsters to do. Therefore, if you control a few small gangsters, it will not affect or change anything, but if you control one side of the small You gangster, you will have the power to change and influence. At that time, whether it is other Jianghu sects or some important military and political figures, they will notice your existence, and then you will have the power to influence and change."
"Good boy! I didn't expect you to understand so many things!" The old poison showed some admiration, "However, why didn't you tell me these words before?"
"I told you before, but you may not be able to listen to it. If you hear it, you may not believe it." Qin Lang said with a smile, "What's more, I didn't see it clearly before, but I don't know why recently, my brain has become brighter. "
"Oh... that's right, if your kung fu turns from the outside to the inside, your brain will become more and more brilliant in the future. Especially after you step into the Wuxuan level, your vision and thinking will be clearer."
Speaking of this, the old poison sighed again, "Boy! I didn't expect you to see some things more clearly than the master. However, maybe it's just like what you said-just because you are in this mountain, and as a teacher, you are in the game." , Some ideas really can't break the situation. That's fine, how you want to fix it in the future, as a teacher, I won't interfere!"
