Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 839 Gongsun discusses Taoism
Zhao Kang has never felt his heart beat so fast.

The beautiful eyes on the opposite side seemed to see through his entire being, and their sharp gaze was like a sword cutting directly into his soul.

He picked up the wine glass and took a sip: "Why do you say that?"

Gongsun Yunxiu turned the wine glass in his hand: "I have been curious about you since I discovered the secret in you."

"In the past few years, you should also know that I have found your subordinates and people who are related to you, etc., and I have inquired about a lot of things about you. I can barely say that I know you well."

"It's just that the more I get to know you, the more I begin to feel confused. To be honest, you make me feel like you are not from this world."

Zhao Kang's heart beat more violently. He did not ask questions, but Gongsun Yunxiu spoke again: "I have always felt that everything has a trace. For example, if people know that crabs can be eaten, it is because someone has eaten them."

"But there are things about you and me that can't be traced."

Gongsun Yunxiu sighed and said: "The thing about me is my own martial arts cultivation. Three years ago, I thought I could beat three or five people like you, but now I feel that I can't beat ten like you with one hand." what is the problem."

"I don't need to cultivate deliberately, my cultivation will increase all the time, as if these cultivations originally belong to me, and there is no reason why it appears."

"This is incredible enough, but it pales in comparison to you."

Like countless treasures, Gongsun Yunxiu listed them all: "Allicin, sweet potatoes, steam engines, hot air balloons, oil, explosives, artillery, steelmaking methods..."

"These things are all related to you. I once went to the Firearms Institute and asked the foreigner Nobel how he made the original explosives."

"He told me that there was a kind of guy in his country who was called a witch. After hundreds of years of research and experimentation, those so-called witches finally came up with this explosive substance."

"But when you were an official in Yuanjiang County, you began to ask your subordinates to collect medicinal yellow and saltpeter from all over the world. By the way, the medicinal yellow in your mouth is called sulfur. From this, I can be sure that you have known these three things for a long time. Together they create an explosion.”

"And among the four countries you visited before, I have never seen such a record in any document."

"The same goes for sweet potatoes, but besides that you're looking for corn and potatoes, right?"

"So you can tell me, how do you know these things?" Gongsun Yunxiu asked with a smile.

Zhao Kang's throat moved, but he didn't know how to answer.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Gongsun Yunxiu continued: "So after all these traceless things are concentrated on you, I can only explain it with such a ridiculous conclusion that you are not from this world. Maybe This is your biggest secret."

"At this point, I have a feeling that you, like those sages who created writing, collected mulberries and cultivated crops in history, are the ones who promote the development of our era."

"It's just that compared to these things that have evolved over countless years, you pushed it a little too fast."

"I'm afraid only you know what the world will look like after this evolution continues."

"I once read a very interesting statement in a miscellaneous book. Everyone in the world is the child of this world, but our life and death has nothing to do with this world. It allows us to develop naturally."

"But for what you do, this world is your child, and this child will grow up and change according to your guidance, and eventually achieve what you want."

"Not to mention whether the final result is good or bad."

Gongsun Yunxiu smiled softly: "Zhao Kang, if you were this child, would you accept the future planned by this person for you, or would you try your best to embark on a completely different path?"

"So, even though I don't believe in destiny, can I explain to you the person you just asked about destiny?"

Zhao Kang closed his eyes and carefully thought about what Gongsun Yunxiu had just said. Finally he opened his eyes and said calmly: "You mean, if the world is conscious, it is resisting my influence on this world?"

Gongsun Yunxiu nodded: "You can say that. I think heaven and earth should have an absolutely fair attitude towards all things." "It will not interfere with the changes of all things, whether it is life or death. This is what I envision. road."

"But that's all, I will probably never be able to reach this level."

After Gongsun Yunxiu finished sighing, he saw Zhao Kang opposite and smiled: "You should change your name to Lao Tzu."

Others might have thought that Zhao Kang was cursing, but Gongsun Yunxiu said with interest: "Please enlighten me."

Zhao Kang said with a smile: "A man named Laozi once said that the world is unkind and treats all things as straw dogs, and the saints are unkind and treat the common people as straw dogs."

Gongsun Yunxiu was so surprised that he sighed after a while: "It's really the words of a saint."

Zhao Kang nodded slightly. He felt a lot in his heart from the conversation with Gongsun Yunxiu.

The other party's intelligence made Zhao Kang feel that it was beyond his reach. After being a DJ for so many years, he never gave up his pursuit of knowledge.

Zhao Kang thought and smiled.

Gongsun Yunxiu asked at this time: "What did you think of?"

Zhao Kang's smile did not diminish: "No matter whether the Tao in your mouth is conscious and resisting me, all I do is to protect the people I love and the people who love me."

"On this basis, if anyone wants to play tricks with me, I will fight with his life, that's all!"

Gongsun Yunxiu nodded: "If you really risk your life, I'm afraid no one in this world can play with you."

"What do you mean!" Zhao Kang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Gongsun Yunxiu became serious. Zhao Kang even felt that her eyes were a little sad, and he couldn't help but frown: "What's wrong with you?"

The woman murmured: "If I could do it all over again, I would never want to be curious about you."

"What do you mean?" Zhao Kang was confused.

Gongsun Yunxiu laughed out loud again: "Nothing, just drink."

"In the middle of the sentence, I'm almost pissed off by you, buddy." Zhao Kang rolled his eyes.

After drinking a glass of wine, Zhao Kang thought of something and asked: "By the way, it's time for you to tell me what is the secret you discovered before. In the past few years, I have been scratching my head."

Gongsun Yunxiu nodded: "Before that, please tell me who is the destined person in your mouth?"

"Liu Yanran, this guy has become a great mage after not seeing you for a few years. Damn, I should have kept her by my side to serve tea and water before I knew it!"

"Liu Yanran."

Gongsun Yunxiu smiled: "Okay, you can go, I want to rest."

"Ah?"

Zhao Kang was stunned: "What about my secret?"

Gongsun Yunxiu tilted his head: "I never said I would tell you."
