Chapter 251 Difficulties
In the study room, Jiang Yu greeted Xiaoyaozi and then made tea on his own.
Pushing the teacup to Xiaoyaozi, Jiang Qi stretched out his hand and said, "Master Taoist, please!"
Xiaoyaozi picked up the teacup and savored it carefully, and then praised: "Good tea has a long and fragrant fragrance and a long-lasting taste, which attracts people's thoughts and desires. This is probably the same as the unity of man and nature that Taoists pursue throughout their lives."
Jiang Yu sipped the tea in the teacup in one go and said with a smile: "Yu knows nothing about the tea ceremony. The tea in the mansion is just to be a good person and entertain guests. In fact, in Yu's opinion, tea is just a thing to quench thirst, and the one that can quench thirst is good tea."
Xiaoyaozi stroked his beard and smiled, "This is also a state of mind."
Jiang Qi looked at Xiaoyaozi in surprise and asked, "Can this be considered a realm?"
Xiaoyaozi joked: "Ordinary people can quench their thirst by drinking water, but Jiang Hou used precious tea to quench their thirst with thirst, and regarded the treasure as white water. Isn't this an extremely profound state?"
OK, is this arguing about me as luxury?
Jiang Xi was not embarrassed when he heard this and retorted: "The Taoist Master is a person outside the world, and he naturally disdains wealth and honor in the world. But the Taoist Master does not know the importance of the word "face"?"
Xiaoyaozi said lightly: "A gentleman uses frugality and virtue to prevent difficulties, and cannot be honored and honored. Now that Marquis Jiang is a great minister, why do you need these common things to show off yourself?"
Jiang Yu shook his head and chuckled: "The Taoist master has entered the world. You should know that most people in the world are nothing more than power and wealth. If you want to make friends with it, or even attract them to make friends with me, you rely on these external things."
Xiaoyaozi chuckled and said, "Zhuangzi said: A gentleman's friendship is as light as water and a villain's friendship is as sweet as honey. Jiang Hou makes friends with wealth and honor, but he doesn't know that what those people care about is not Jiang Hou himself, but the wealth and honor in the hands of Jiang Hou."
"For this reason, things have become much simpler." Jiang Yu poured tea for Xiaoyaozi and said: "As long as I don't lose my power and wealth for a day, those people can become my 'lifetime best friends'."
Putting down the teapot, Jiang Yu continued: "In comparison, the friendship between gentlemen is first in the word "sincere". But people's hearts are often the most difficult to judge. Since ancient times, great loyalty is like treacherous, great falsehood is like truth. Loyalty and righteousness are never seen from the surface. Those who betray you have never had friends, because the enemy never has the chance to betray you."
Xiaoyaozi pondered for a while and exclaimed: "I never thought that Jiang Hou had seen the feelings of the world so thoroughly at such a young age."
Jiang Qi smiled and said, "The Taoist priest's meaning is clear in his heart. The food and clothing cost in the marquis' mansion is so luxurious, I guess the Taoist priest is very disagreeable, right?"
Xiaoyaozi comforted his thumb and said, "As soon as Mr. Jiang arrived in Rao'an, he formulated a commercial system with the geographical advantage of Rao'an, which made the people's lives rich. Even the surrounding cities have also greatly improved the lives of the people because of Rao'an's changes."
After drinking a sip of tea, Xiaoyaozi continued: "Jiang Hou's kindness to the people is obvious to everyone and praises him. But what Jiang Hou did is not dedicated to the people!"
Jiang Yu slowly stood up and said seriously: "What if you don't think you are sincere? At least... I did a good thing."
"Jianghou is saying." Xiaoyaozi sighed softly when he heard this: "Even if he is not sincere, if there are more officials like Jianghou in the world, the people's livelihood will not be so difficult."
‘Thut!’
"Please come in!" Jiang Sheng said.
Jing Ke pushed the door and turned his eyes on Jiang Yu and Xiaoyaozi's faces a few times, and said carelessly: "What are you talking about just now? I seem to have heard of 'officials', 'people' and so on. I know nothing about such things."
Xiaoyaozi stroked his beard and laughed: "I didn't talk about anything, I just discussed the tea ceremony with Mr. Jiang."
Jing Ke spread his hands and said, "I prefer drinking than tea."
"I am quite confident about storing wine in the mansion." After saying that, Jiang Jie invited, "Brother Jing, please sit down."
Jing Ke untied the sword and placed it on the table, then asked Xiaoyaozi: "I have heard of the magic of Taoist art of natural sound transmission. It is indeed very interesting to see it today."
Jiang Qi turned to look at Xiaoyaozi and asked with a smile: "It seems that the Taoist priest has discovered the secret of haunted ghosts in the mansion."
"Not bad!" Xiaoyaozi nodded and explained: "Jiang Hou used the secret method of mechanism to create illusions. This method is quite magical. However, when I was young, I traveled in the world and saw people from the Mo family using the method of "small hole imaging", which is exactly the same as the ghosts on the Jiang Hou's mansion today."
Jiang Qi bowed and praised: "Master Taoist is very knowledgeable. The white ghost is indeed a phantom created by imaging small holes."
When Jing Ke heard this, he suddenly realized: "So that's it. I originally thought that there was such a magical light skill in the world. It turned out that the ghost was just an illusion."
Jiang Yu said seriously: "Among the people who entered the mansion, Taoist priest and Brother Jing are both people who can trust. This time the opponent is coming with great force. If they deal with it badly, the marquis's mansion may suffer misfortune."
Xiaoyaozi said seriously: "Hao Jiang has found their details?"
Jiang Yu nodded and said in a deep voice: "Qin's net, and... Yin and Yang Family!"
"Yinyang Family!" Xiaoyaozi frowned slightly and said seriously: "Five hundred years ago, the Yinyang Family broke away from Taoism, took a different sword, formed a school of its own, pursued the limits of heaven and man, and created many powerful moves, and many heroes emerged from generation to generation."
"But a hundred years ago, the Yin-Yang family encountered some changes and suddenly retreated from the world. Unexpectedly, a hundred years later, the Yin-Yang family disciples actually came out again." Xiaoyaozi's tone was very serious. Obviously, in Taoist classics, the Yin-Yang family had been labeled as "evil'.
Although the three major sects of Taoism, Tianzong, Renzong, and Yinyang School all came from Taoism, the views of the two sects of heaven and human sects towards each other were just that the other party was "wrongly going astray".
But the Yin and Yang family are in heaven, and the two sects of man have fallen into the path of devils.
Jing Ke scratched his head and joked: "Luowang and Yinyang Family... Alas! If I continue to stay in the Hou Mansion, I don't know if I can see the sun tomorrow, but I can't bear to leave the fine wine in this mansion."
Jiang Qi said seriously: "The killer of Luowang is just a chess piece that Qin can abandon, and it is not worth worrying about. But the Yin-Yang family..."
Jiang Yu's face looked a little solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "The terrible thing about the Yin-Yang family is not its power, but the mysterious Yin-Yang technique, especially the eight Yin-Yang mantras, which can kill people invisibly. Once they are attacked, there is no way to solve it in the world."
"More importantly, if we remove or defeat this enemy, once they fail to achieve another plan, it will be more difficult to deal with."
As the saying goes, you are not afraid of stealing, but you are afraid of thieves thinking about it.
Before he could figure out the Yin-Yang family’s plot against him, Jiang Qi did not want to rashly break up with them.
Xiaoyaozi nodded and said, "The Yin-Yang family's style of conduct has always been to never give up until they achieve their goals. Jiang Hou was worried, and this matter was indeed difficult to solve."
