"Tell me about your overall plan." The old poisonous man seemed to be trying his best to extend his patience.
"Master, let me ask you a question first. In your opinion, what is the key to determining the rise and fall of a sect?"
"Nonsense, it must be the number of top masters. If there are more masters, it will naturally flourish." 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 believers or disciples at the bottom."
"There is no point in having too many people! A top expert can easily kill thousands of mediocre people." Old Poison retorted.
"I admit your statement, but even if he is a top master, can he kill all the Buddhist and Taoist believers in the world?" Qin Lang asked back. The answer to this question is obvious, so the old poison cannot refute, so Qin Lang continued , "Because the followers of Buddhism and Taoism are inexhaustible, the fortunes of Buddhism and Taoism have always been there, and they have always been strong. The Jianghu sect is actually a pyramid structure. The bigger the bottom of the pyramid, the bigger the pyramid. The higher the top of the pyramid, this is a general rule. Although some sects occasionally produce some amazing talents, in the long history of Jianghu, these people are still like meteors streaking across the night sky. Although they were dazzling at the time, But it cannot last forever. Therefore, if I can become a stunning genius, or I can make the Poison Sect shine again, but if the fundamental problem cannot be solved, the revitalized Poison Sect will still be weak."
"On this point, I agree with Qin Lang's point of view." Fang Baiqiu had been listening to the conversation between the two, but now he occasionally interjected, "There is a saying that the lower structure determines the superstructure. 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 is saying. Think about it carefully. In the era when our Poison Sect was prosperous, many people had an instinctive fear of poisons and poisons. Many people even worshiped and feared poisonous insects as gods. That At that time, there were many disciples of the Poison Sect, and there were also many masters, which was considered the time when the Poison Sect was strong. Later, as these people lost their fear of poisons and poisonous insects, the number of disciples of the Poison Sect decreased, and the entire sect also weakened. ”
"Yes, that's the truth. You also said that when the Demon Sect flourishes, 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 cannot protect them at all, and they can only become like the Demon God. Only by being ruthless can you survive in troubled times. Therefore, you can't deny that the more believers and disciples you have, the more your sect will prosper. I think this is called adhering to the destiny of heaven and earth - well, it sounds like it It's a bit pretentious, but I think it should be like this." Qin Lang confessed what he was thinking.
After hearing these words, the old poisonous man fell into silence. After a long time, he sighed: "It's a shame that I have been in the world for so many years. I didn't expect that you, the kid, haven't seen it clearly yet."
"It's just because you are in this mountain. Master, you are trapped in the chess game of revitalizing the Poison Sect, how can you see clearly what is going on outside the chess game." Qin Lang said, "Actually, I didn't understand it before, but listen to you After talking about some things about the Demon Sect, I really understood this truth."
"So, you are ready to recruit disciples now? However, these street gangsters can also be regarded as disciples and disciples?" Old Poison still looked down upon those street gangsters.
"Of course it counts, why not?" Qin Lang said with a smile, "For these little gangsters in the market, the Buddha and the Taoist have given up on them. If our Poison Sect can give them a bite of food, of course they will become the Poison Sect's Believers or disciples, and thus work for the reconstruction of the Poison Sect. I know that many people in the world look down on these gangsters, and they don’t even regard them as people in the world. However, these people are numerous and have great influence. If Being able to control it in the hands of our Poison Sect is actually a considerable 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." Old Poison shook his head, "These people are just a mob, and they have no faith. What can believers without faith do?"
"A mob can also be trained to become an excellent teacher. As for faith, the faith of these people is actually very simple. They just want a job to support their families. There are a few people who are really willing to live a life of licking blood from the knife edge, especially those who have wives and children. ." After hanging out with people like Han Sanqiang and Man Niu for a while, Qin Lang had a pretty good idea of the mentality of these people.
"Okay. Even if you can gather all the gangsters in China, what can you accomplish?"
"There is no need to unify all the gangsters in China. I don't have that much ability, and it would be too risky, because Six Gates will never allow anyone to unify all the gangsters in China. I just All the underworld forces in Pingchuan Province need to be gathered together, then I will naturally have the capital to rebuild the Poison Sect."
"Wait a minute - what money can these gangsters give you?" Old Poison said.
"I learned this 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 Ye family's influence in the military and politics, but they have not seen it. The Ye family has its foundation in the world. If the Ye family had not had Wolong Hall and Wuyi Hall, they would not have been able to control Pingchuan Province for so many years, and they would not have been able to accumulate so much wealth abroad. Because many people in the Ye family have Although you hold a high position in the military and political system, many things still need to be done by those street gangsters. Therefore, if you control a few street gangsters, you will not be able to influence or change anything, but if you control one side of the street gangsters, Gangster, you will have the power to change and influence. At that time, whether it is other martial arts sects or some important military and political figures, they will notice your existence, and then you will also have the power to influence and change."
"Good boy! I didn't expect you actually understood so many things!" The old poison showed some admiration, "But why didn't you tell me these things before?"
"If I told you before, you might not listen. If I hear it, you might not believe it." Qin Lang said with a smile, "What's more, I didn't see it clearly before, but recently, for some reason, my mind has become brighter. "
"Oh... that's right. If you change your kung fu from the outside to the inside, your brain will become more and more brilliant in the future. Especially after you enter the Wu Xuan level, your vision and thinking will become clearer."
At this point, the old poisonous man sighed again, "Boy! I didn't expect that you see some things more clearly than Master. However, maybe it's just like what you said - just because I am in this mountain and I am in the situation for Master. Some ideas are indeed unbreakable. No matter how you want to deal with it in the future, I will not interfere!"
