(Please recommend tickets to the list every day, please collect! Thank you for your love.)

The weather after the beginning of winter is very cold, especially in the deep mountains like Wudang. Even if it doesn't say that the breath turns into ice at this time, it is enough to make ordinary people shiver with cold.

Taoist Jingdu's bamboo building is very elegant, and the image of the Taoist Emperor Zhenwu is even carved on the bamboo body, accompanied by a dragon and tortoise.

"Sure enough, people are not judged by appearances. This Jing Du looks rough, but he is an elegant person. He definitely has a lot of pen and ink in his stomach."

Su Qinian thought this way, confirmed his previous guess, and unknowingly came to the front of the steps.

The lights in the bamboo building have not been extinguished, and there is a long-burning lamp in front of the door. It is a kind of sacrificial oil, which is added with agarwood powder that has been buried in the ground for hundreds of years. People are peaceful.

However, Su Qinian's heart was tense, and the mental power that had not yet fully recovered enveloped the whole body, not letting go of any trouble.

squeak!

At this time, the bamboo door opened, and a Taoist priest came out, holding a gourd containing sesame oil in his hand, and was about to reconnect the long-burning lamp in front of the door.

"It's you!"

The [-]-year-old handyman Taoist with a short beard looked at Su Qinian: "Are you here to hand in the herbs? Huh? It's full!"

Noticing the medicine basket in front of Su Qinian, the handyman Taoist was slightly surprised at first, and then showed a bit of a strange look, saying: "Come with me."

Carrying the medicine basket into the bamboo building, Su Qinian saw a pile of herbs in the corner like a hill, all classified into different categories without any confusion.

In addition, there are actually several large bookshelves, all of which are collections of scriptures and histories, in various editions, but there are very few Taoist scriptures and Buddhist scriptures. The Taoist priest Jingdu is standing in front of the bookshelves, flipping through a woodcut "Book of Rites" in his hand.

Su Qinian's nostrils moved slightly, and he saw a large pot on a shelf not far away, simmering on the stove, the strong aroma emanating from the pot was very familiar, it was the smell of tiger meat.

The handyman Taoist began to pick out the medicine basket that dumped Su Qinian, and sometimes showed a look of surprise, because the herbs in the same medicine basket, many of which Su Qinian picked were more than ten years old, compared to a lot of them. Old people who have been in the valley for several years are even better.

But he didn't say much, before he established his foundation and became a disciple of Wudang Outer Court, except for the deacons guarding Xiaoyao Valley, no Wudang people were allowed to have contact with people in Xiaoyao Valley.

Because Wudang knows that even death row prisoners, centipedes, dead but not stiff, all have various relationships and potential forces. If it is not necessary, Wudang does not want to be involved in the ups and downs of officialdom. After killing several handyman Taoist priests who colluded with the death row prisoners in Xiaoyao Valley, no one in this generation of handyman Taoist priests on duty dared to take a step forward.

Taoist Jingdu didn't seem to pay attention to Su Qinian's intentions, and the Taoist handyman quickly cleaned up and sorted the herbs in the medicine basket, and then took a large bowl of overcooked tiger meat from the cauldron. The soup is white and full of aroma, enough to be worth the weight of the past two meals.

"Thank you."

After taking the pottery bowl, Su Qinian was about to turn around and leave.

"Su Qi Nian."

The Taoist priest Jing Du, who had been intoxicated in the book, finally turned around. The Taoist handyman's eyes flashed, and he quickly regained his composure. He just glanced at Jing Du meaningfully and didn't speak.

"Meet the deacon."

Su Qinian clasped his fists in salute, his whole body seemed to be relaxed, but his mental strength was at its peak at this moment, and the soul deterring technique was on the string, ready to go.

"Editor's House, I guess I've read the Four Books and Five Classics, how much do you understand?"

As soon as the Taoist priest Jing Dufu opened his mouth, not only Su Qinian was stunned, but the Taoist servant was also slightly taken aback, and at the same time, the clenched fist hidden in his sleeve slowly loosened.

"Students have been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics since they were young. Not to mention mastery, they think they can understand three points."

After Su Qinian was dazed, he relaxed slightly, and answered respectfully, but he didn't understand what purpose this Taoist priest Jing Du had.

"That's right." Taoist Jing Du nodded, raised the "Book of Rites" in his hand again, and said, "I've been reading the "Book of Rites" recently to figure out the true meaning of Confucianism. Let me ask you, what is Bamu?"

Almost without thinking, Su Qinian said: "Investigate things, extend knowledge, be sincere, be honest, cultivate one's morality, regulate the family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world."

"What are the six certificates?"

"Stop, steadiness, tranquility, tranquility, concern, attainment."

"It is said in "University" that the way of a university lies in clearing morality, being close to the people, and ending in perfection. So, how should scholars be enlightened, how to be close to the people, and then reach the way of perfection?"

Su Qinian was a little surprised. This Taoist priest Jingdu definitely did not read the "Book of Rites" for the first time, and he definitely had a deep understanding between the lines. However, he did not hesitate. Only by reforming the past can we be close to the will of the people, be kind to a ruler, respect to a minister, filial piety to a son, kindness to a father, and trust in friendship with the people of the country. "

"Not bad, not bad."

Taoist Jingdu raised his eyebrows, his eyes were bright, and he swept the hills in the corner, and said: "Today you have harvested a lot of winter lotus roots for more than ten years, which is equivalent to the harvest of ordinary two people entering the mountain. Half an hour ago, if you have any confusion during martial arts training, you can come here to ask for help."

"Thank you Deacon!"

Su Qinian's heart was shocked when he heard the words, and he quickly saluted and thanked him. There are completely two situations when someone points out and no one points out. Even in Chang'an, the capital city, the Hou family's big family also enshrines special martial arts disciples. After completion, there will be special people responsible for leading the way, preaching, teaching, enlightening, and relieving confusion.

Even if it is conceived with spiritual power and has a small knowledge, if there is a Taoist priest like Jing Du who has cultivated the inner family's true qi, Su Qinian believes that the time for him to comprehend all the essence of the fourth layer of "Turtle and Snake Art" will definitely take a long time. Twice as fast.

"Go."

With a wave of his hand, Taoist priest Jingdu turned around again, put the "Book of Rites" back on the shelf, and took another engraved "Book of Changes" to read.

……

Back in the thatched hut, put down the empty medicine basket, and took out the pottery bowl full of tiger meat and soup. Su Qinian's stomach kept making gurgling sounds, which was the physical body urging him to eat and replenish his blood as soon as possible. , to restore the consumed spirit.

Su Qinian picked up the pottery bowl and put it down gently, his eyes frowned slightly: "No, it's too weird! This Taoist priest has no reason, why did he test my knowledge? And why do you have to point it out in detail, no, what is the problem!"

In the ancestral orifice courtyard, the spiritual force was running, and Su Qinian carefully recalled every detail in the bamboo building.

"Ask me "Book of Rites", why is it so obvious to ask Bamu, but there have been different explanations in the past dynasties, and there are so many questions. Generally speaking, it is said that a gentleman should investigate things, extend knowledge, be sincere, be righteous, cultivate one's morality, and Family, governing the country, and pacifying the world, should be consistent with the inside and outside, don't deceive yourself and others, and have sincerity in your heart... Wait! Sincerity!"

Suddenly, a sharp look appeared in Su Qinian's eyes: "It is said in "Book of Rites · University", the so-called sincerity, don't deceive yourself. It is like a bad smell, like a lust, this is self-modesty, so a gentleman You must be careful about your independence."

"Eight eyes, gentlemen be careful!"

This is exactly what Taoist Jing Du really wanted to tell him!

At this time, Su Qinian looked at the monster tiger broth in the pottery bowl on the table again, and his eyes became extremely solemn: "Why should a gentleman be cautious when he is alone? There is also an explanation in "University" immediately after that, saying that it is not good for a villain to live idle. Seeing a gentleman and then getting disgusted with it, concealing his badness, and focusing on his goodness. How different is it that people see themselves as if they see their lungs and liver? .”

"It's him!"

Su Qinian's muscles tensed up, and anger appeared on his face, and when he recalled all the subtleties before, he became more and more determined.

Picking up the pottery bowl again, Su Qinian put it in front of his nose and sniffed lightly, enveloped in mental power, after a few breaths, he really caught the slightest smell.

"Even Wudang Xiaoyao Valley has been infiltrated, and the handyman Taoist on duty is willing to take risks. What a big net, what a big hand! Do you want to kill the grass?"

Su Qinian was full of murderous intent, his eyes became sharper than ever, but soon he regained his composure, and said with a sneer: "In this case, I naturally want you to get what you wish, and see who will lose in the end in this game of chess.
