Chapter 623 Don’t think you are powerful enough to save your life The reason why the old man was able to save everyone was not because he was so powerful, nor because he had seen a lot of things, nor because of his so-called experience, but simply because of good luck. Just as he said himself, I actually didn't know that the Ming Dynasty would do this. I also felt at the time that if it was just to let the people here know how good the Ming Dynasty was, then what Mutuo said was actually completely right. At the beginning, everyone thought that as a local and a native of this place, Mutuo should help the local people live a better life. It is normal to see that ordinary people do not have better medical resources and that ordinary people want to obtain such medical resources because they have seen how powerful the military doctors of the Ming Dynasty were. So when Mutuo stood up at first, the old man didn't think there was anything wrong. After all, if an ambitious, idealistic and even conscientious local person saw someone who could help them get better resources, wouldn't it be wrong for him to want to get these resources? this is correct. But why did the Ming Dynasty treat it so harshly? He didn't understand it at the time, but after some preparation, or perhaps after waiting in the yard for a while, he immediately understood what was going on. In fact, it doesn't mean that Captain Liu and his men must treat the people here strictly, and the common people don't mean that Captain Liu and his men must treat the common people here so seriously, or that all the people in the martial arts world must die. It’s because if Captain Liu and his men didn’t do so, it would bring extremely serious consequences to themselves.
Because at that time they didn't know the nature of the people here, if they allowed this wooden support to give orders here. What if the Ming Dynasty cannot afford or do what Mutuo said? Then the Ming Dynasty's previous actions of using such powerful weapons to blast open the gate of Mandala City seemed to be completely useless. Why did the Ming Dynasty have to use such a powerful weapon to blow open the city gate? Why must he let all his people see how powerful the Ming Dynasty was? The purpose is to shock all the people with this one action. In this way, the local people will no longer get angry, and this will actually reduce unnecessary conflicts between the two sides in the future. At first the old man didn’t understand why the people in the Ming Dynasty were so mobile. He even didn’t understand why the Ming Dynasty would never give that Mutuo any chance. But now he has completely understood that if it were him, he would probably do the same, or even do it to an even more extreme level. Because he found that if he didn't do this, the common people here might not be convinced if he and others promoted it outside. It is very likely that the common people here will feel that the Ming Dynasty is nothing special, and they still have to listen to the advice of some people in the world. Then in the future, the people in the underworld here may feel that they are too powerful, and even if they join the ranks of the Ming Dynasty, they may not necessarily obey management. This is where there will be endless regrets in the future, and it is also a place that Captain Liu and his men will never allow to appear. After thinking about this, the old man suddenly understood the real intention of the Ming Dynasty to do this. This is right. If this kind of trend is allowed to grow here, then how to manage this place in the future will undergo a drastic change. In the future, it should have been dominated by the Ming Dynasty, but it will become a place where some of the heretic people can grow up freely. If the management is not good in the future, the local people may even turn the tables and think that your Ming Dynasty also needs us. If that was the case, there would be no need for the Ming Dynasty to keep anyone here. They could just slaughter them all and bring other races here from other places. Thinking about it this way, the old man was actually quite grateful to Captain Liu and the others for not doing that. Instead, he was very patient, or rather very polite, and let Mutuo die. Killing Mutuo will not have any side effects for Captain Liu and his men. Instead, it will shock everyone here. Let them know that even if you people from the martial arts world surrender, our Ming Dynasty must never have any idea that you can do whatever you want in the future. Because once you do evil, what awaits you is real death.
Thinking of this, the old man said to the others, "The reason why I asked you to stop and not stand out is because I have truly seen that after the Ming Dynasty arrived here, it actually did not want us to live freely and comfortably. They do need us, but they need us not because of our so-called experience or our talents.” Many people in the martial arts world feel aggrieved when this place is mentioned. If the Ming Dynasty did not value the talents of people like us, then it would seem a bit wrong to let all of us come here. If people like us don't even have this little bit of talent, then there's actually no need for us to stay here. We are leaving, why do you want us to stay? In fact, from the beginning we were thinking about how we could help your Ming Dynasty. Although there is some selfishness among us, everyone has selfishness, so this should be understandable. The old man saw their expressions and said, “I know that each of you thinks you have talent, but it’s just that your talent has been covered up by certain people. You are all wondering, if the people of the Ming Dynasty didn't value our talents, why would they keep all of us here. In fact, you are all wrong. The Ming Dynasty values us only because we are locals of Sanfuqi, and our propaganda is more convincing to the locals than theirs. " At this point, the old man saw these young people in the martial arts world, and the expressions on their faces looked very helpless. It can be said that they all felt very wronged, especially those young people in the martial arts world. At first, I thought that the Ming Dynasty allowed me and others to join because of my eloquence and rich experience. But I didn't expect the old man to say that. It's not the case at all. They only liked me because I was chosen by the locals, and because my face and words were the same as those of the local people, so they let me join the propaganda team of the Ming Dynasty. They wanted to make my face and words more convincing, so that the people would know that the Jianghu people had already joined the Ming Dynasty and gained a good status. Thinking in this way, of course they will feel wronged. They are all self-important and of course they will feel that they have been treated unfairly. But as the old man said, in fact, you people can already get good treatment at this time. The old man smiled when he saw them, "Of course as human beings, we will feel that we are being looked down upon, but think about it, it is already very rare for people like us to get such an opportunity. I don't know how you view this opportunity, but as an old man, I used to set up a stall on the street to tell fortunes. All those who come to me just want to hear some answers from me that satisfy them. Do they really believe that I can predict their future? Not necessarily. I have never been respected by others. Everyone just wants to get comfort from me. I know very well that this is how I make money, but now I have another identity. I am just a speaker in the Ming Dynasty. But what I said can help the common people here gain a better status. As long as I can say dirty words here in the Ming Dynasty, as long as I can make them believe that what I say is right, then they will give me a chance to do something for our people. " The old man was actually very excited when he talked about this. He had never thought that one day he would be able to help the people here. He had always thought that he would only be able to tell fortunes on the streets for the rest of his life, and that would be the end of his life. Of course, who hasn’t thought about doing something earth-shattering when they were young? No one is born saying that they will only be able to sit on the street and tell fortunes and make a living for the rest of their life. No one would think this way. As soon as a person is born, as long as he can speak, as long as he can think, he will feel that he will become a great person in his life and that he will do something earth-shattering in his life. Even if I can't become a real big shot, I have to let everyone in the surrounding area know that there is such a person as me, and then everyone in the surrounding area will know how powerful I am. Instead of wandering around like they do now, if they had not encountered the Ming Dynasty, this might have been the way their lives would have been. So the old man felt very satisfied. He was not like Muto, who thought that he must do this or that in his life or that he must go down in history.
His thoughts were very simple. The old man had been exposed to the wind and rain on the streets all his life, so he knew that if he could do something good in his life that would be praised by the local people, he would feel very satisfied. He would not think about how to make the people remember him or how to make his people dependent on him for the rest of their lives. He does not have such thoughts. Without this idea, his psychological burden would not be so heavy. Without this idea, he would not be like that wooden support, thinking that he should do this or that. If that is the case, then this life may not be very happy. If that is the case, this life can only be in the shadow. Fortunately, this old man thinks very simply. He always feels that he is just an ordinary person. It would be great if he could have the opportunity to do something big. That was why he thought of the reason why he did not stand up just now, because he felt that he was just an ordinary old man and should not interrupt others in such an occasion. The old man continued, "Even though I know you guys don't like what I say, I still want to tell you something that you really should understand. That is, we are just ordinary people. We shouldn’t have so many messy thoughts, and we shouldn’t think that we can accomplish something great. So don't show off your talents in front of such a heavyweight figure as the Ming Dynasty, and you can save yourself a lot of trouble." When the old man said this, many young martial artists present found it a little unbelievable. They originally thought that what the old man said must be something special and he must have calculated something. Because they knew that this old man was a street fortune teller, he must have extraordinary talent, or perhaps through some details, they could tell that the people of the Ming Dynasty were angry. Only in this way will they feel that the old man is extremely powerful. But what was unexpected was that the old man did not look at these. He just felt that as an ordinary person, he should not show his so-called talent in front of such powerful people. That's all. This may be the most glorious aspect of the old man's life. That is, the old man has never felt that he has any outstanding qualities to show off. The old man didn't think that under such circumstances, there was anything worth showing off to the people of the Ming Dynasty. He always felt that he was just an ordinary person. What qualifications do you have to show off your talents in front of such a great person? The old man laughed when he saw the expressions on the faces of the young people. "Did you guess at first that I must have read the fortune again and figured out a lot of things, and then let everyone here believe that I must have predicted that they would be angry and kill people, so I stopped you?" The old man's visit made everyone here blush. They really thought so at the beginning. At the beginning, they really thought that the old man must have some extraordinary qualities and could calculate all these things, so he could show his abilities at this time. However, they didn't expect that it was not the case at all, which made them very disappointed, and they also wondered whether the old man's way of dealing with things was really effective. After seeing their expressions, the old man smiled and said, "Young people, I just want to tell you one thing. Don't be self-righteous. Don't think you are great. Don't think you can do things that others can't do. That's all." …… (End of this chapter)
