Text Chapter 972 The Importance of Erecting Archways
"Uh...she's also doing it for your own good—"
"You're so good! You must have colluded with each other!" Luo Bin's eyes were almost murderous. "Tell me, do you just play with her and do those embarrassing things?"
"This... we should actually think about this from a different angle." Qin Lang suddenly became serious, "Think about it, what Ren Meili told you is not to confuse you, but is inherited by their sect. A way of practice that is not as dirty as you think. Even among Taoist sects, there is such a thing as double monks, so she may really just have good intentions - otherwise, we will find out if we find a chance to give it a try. It’s true or false.”
"Try you, I think you've got a sperm in your head!" Although Luo Bin was still scolding, there was a look of embarrassment on his face.
However, in broad daylight, especially on the sacred university campus, Qin Lang still felt that it was not suitable to talk about this topic, so he brought the topic to the right track: "I am looking for you today, and I have another question to ask you."
"Please tell me." Luo Bin also returned to his cold normal state. Ever since he awakened his ice spiritual roots, Luo Bin has become even more cold and stunning.
"About the development of the sect." Qin Lang told Luo Bin his plan to revitalize the sect. Today's world is no longer an era that relies purely on force. Qin Lang needs to find a path to rejuvenation suitable for the Poison Sect. He does not want to continue to be like the old poison and let the Poison Sect linger in the dark forever.
"Your question is too complicated." Luo Bin said sternly, "I'm not a martial artist, how do I know how to revitalize a sect? By the way, let me tell you what you think, let me refer to it first. "
"My initial idea was to control one side of the underworld first, and then gradually establish my own territory, using this as a foundation to strengthen the sect's power, because our sect has almost completely declined, and everything has to start from scratch. , and the best entry point for Jianghu is the underworld."
"So, you cooperated with Lu Qingshan to build a Wolong Hall?"
"Wolong Hall originally belonged to Lu Qingshan's family." Qin Lang briefly mentioned Lu Qingshan's experience. "Lu Qingshan's control of Wolong Hall can be regarded as returning to the original owner. What's more, Wolong Hall is no longer sensitive to drugs and arms. Business--"
"There is no need to explain Wolongtang's business to me. I believe in your bottom line." Luo Bin showed full trust in Qin Lang, "And your judgment is correct. It is good to use Wolongtang as an entry point. It has initially established a foundation. And it will not cause major suppression by other Jianghu forces. The next step is the key, because the foundation has been established, and the next step is your first step to revive the Poison Sect. This crucial step will determine the fate of the Poison Sect. future."
"Yes." Qin Lang nodded, "This is exactly what I am confused about right now."
"I'm just an outsider and I can't decide the future of your sect. However, the most important thing is what kind of existence you want your sect to be. This is very important." Luo Bin said, "For example, there are There is no case for comparison.”
"Well, probably existences like Buddhism and Taoism." Qin Lang said, and then laughed at himself, "Of course, this is just a fantasy. Buddhism and Taoism are giants that took thousands of years to form. It is impossible to achieve the same level as them. Not to mention that Buddhism and Taoism control the beliefs of hundreds of millions of believers, and it is impossible for our sect to establish another religion."
Regarding religion, the state's control is very strict. If anyone dares to introduce a religion casually, he will definitely be regarded as a cult. Therefore, the only truly orthodox religions in China are Buddhism and Taoism. Of course, there are also some Christian and Catholic believers, but they are all marginalized in China and cannot be compared with the two giants of Buddhism and Taoism.
Luo Bin thought for a while and said: "Yes, Buddhism and Taoism have existed for thousands of years, but a long history is an advantage and a disadvantage at the same time, because a long history means sticking to the rules and being self-contained, because The resistance from the old forces will be huge. Look at the four ancient civilizations, they all have a long history, but who has become the boss in the world today? And the United States, as the boss, only has how many years of history?"
"It sounds interesting." Qin Lang smiled, "Hearing what you said, I feel a lot more confident. So, tell me, what are the advantages of my sect now?"
"Starting from scratch is your biggest advantage. Your sect has completely declined and lost the support of its elders and disciples, but no one is telling you what to do. You can reform the sect according to your own plan and summarize the gains and losses. , we can naturally build a powerful sect within a short period of time by introducing new ones.”
"After hearing what you said, I'm a little eager to give it a try." Qin Lang said with a smile, "So, I should choose a unique road to revival?"
"Yes." Luo Bin smiled and said in an encouraging tone, "Actually, you think so - your sect has completely declined anyway, no matter how bad you do, it won't be much worse, so you There is no need to have any psychological burden at all. It is enough to imagine boldly, design carefully, and act cautiously. Now is the first step, imagine the advantages of your sect?"
"We are the Poison Sect, and our advantage is of course the use of poison." Qin Lang said with a smile, "Poison can kill people quickly, so our poisons are sold to killers, dictators, terrorists, etc. at home and abroad..."
"I also know that poison can kill people." Luo Bin said, "This is the problem - balance. Although the poison of the Poison Sect is sharp, it can easily be regarded as the incarnation of evil and become the target of public criticism, because you do not take into account the balance of good and evil. Let me give you an analogy. The United States is actually the world's largest arms dealer and a typical war monger, but on the surface it plays the role of the world's police, safeguards justice and peace, and flaunts freedom and democracy. This is a kind of balance. Through The positive image on the surface masks the darkness underneath.”
"You mean, if you become a prostitute, you still need to build a memorial arch?"
"Your metaphor is very vulgar, but it is very appropriate." Luo Bin said with a smile, "I think your Poison Sect didn't pay much attention to erecting memorial arches before, right?"
"This is really the case." Qin Lang said with a bitter smile, "In the past, our Poison Sect was the representative of evil. However, what else can the Poison Sect's poison do besides killing people?"
"The existence of nuclear weapons is also to kill people. However, we will not say that they are used to kill people, but that they are used to deter enemies and ensure peace. Corrupt officials always steal people's wealth, but they will flaunt their They are the public servants of the people; politicians always say that they will serve the people and promise to lower prices and house prices. But the result is, haha... Having said so much, you still have to build a 'archway' - that's right. , poison can not only kill people, but also save people. I remember that your medical skills are good and you seem to have saved many people. How about starting from this." After some analysis and explanation, Luo Bin seemed to find Qin Lang There is a "archway".
