The jade slips are no more than the size of a palm, and the three rows add up to only about ten volumes, neatly arranged on the red cloth.

Yaoma was immediately dumbfounded.

Well, this "Chen Huanxian" came to Yin's house to buy equipment, but he didn't have any weapons or armor at all and only sold these jade slips. What should he do?

"This... master, don't know what you want to buy?" At this time, an old man wearing a blue-dyed robe stepped out from behind the curtain of the bunk.

He raised his wrinkled eyelids and looked at Yaoma and the people behind him. He really couldn't tell his identity, so he hid his name and only called him the seller.

"Armor." Yaoma deliberately lowered his voice and said roughly.

The old man stroked his fair beard and said with a smile, "Yes, but you must answer the questions set by the Yin family correctly."

He waved his hand and pointed at the jade slips placed on the table.

Hey? Answer the question?

Yaoma asked in a deep voice: "What if you get the answer right? What if you get the answer wrong?"

The old man laughed out loud, glanced at the people around him, and said: "It seems that this is the first time that this master comes to our Yin family to do business. The rule of our Yin family store is that if you answer the question correctly, you will make a purchase.

Quan, if you get the answer wrong, I can only apologize, as the Yin family’s items will not be sold to you.”

Hearing this, Yaoma fell speechless.

Is there such a rule?

At this time, one person said dissatisfiedly: "Everything has to come on a first-come, first-served basis. I've been waiting here for a long time."

The old man looked over, nodded and said, "Indeed, let this person answer first."

Yaoma just wanted to see how the answer went, so he took advantage of the situation.

He waved his arm to signal to retreat, and his team dispersed like a tide, leaving a large open space, and the man stood alone and empty.

He looked to the side and seemed a little uncomfortable, so he quickly stepped forward and picked up a jade slip. After unrolling it, he read: "Why is Yin, why is Yang, Yin comes first, Yang comes first?"

Well……

After reading it, the man thought for a long time.

It was obvious that his brows were furrowed and his eyes flickered, showing that he was not confident about this question.

"This young guest only has half a stick of incense to answer the question," the old man reminded.

While he was choosing the papers and reading the topics, the old man lit a stick of incense.

Seeing that the incense burnt was gone, he put down the jade slip and replied hesitantly: "Well, this Yin is the sister-in-law, and Yang is the husband. Since ancient times, men preceded women, so naturally... Yang comes first, and Yin comes last!"

"At the end of his speech, he stretched his neck and seemed confident.

When the old man heard this, he frowned, and then shook his head: "This question is not enough."

"Hey? Why, why?" the man shouted.

The old man said: "Since you know very little about yin and yang science, it is useless to talk to you more. Let's go."

Seeing the old man waving his hands impatiently, the man felt resentful and frustrated, but he didn't dare to offend the Yin and Yang family, and finally left muttering in frustration.

Seeing this, Yaoma got even more headache.

The man just now could at least speak a few words, but unfortunately he doesn't understand Yin and Yang at all. He is just an ordinary craftsman, and his mind is full of wood, copper and iron. How can he pass the test? Let's wait a little longer.

Seeing that he still didn't move, another person who was waiting stepped forward to challenge him.

He was confident in himself, reported what he needed to buy, and casually selected a jade slip on the stage.

"The five elements are metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. What are the characteristics of the five elements?"

The man was immediately confused.

"This, this... uh..."

Seeing one after another being kicked off the stage, Yaoma almost broke into a cold sweat from fear.

Seeing that most of the night passed silently, he thought, could he complete the purchasing task assigned by "Chen Huanxian" before dawn?

Seeing that there was only the last one left, the old man asked: "Does this master want to give it a try?"

Yaoma secretly swallowed under the brim of his hat and thought, why not give it a try first, and if it doesn't work, then think of other methods?

Holding the barefooted one who was not afraid of wearing shoes, he cleared his voice, stepped forward, took out a roll of jade slips, and opened it.

"Taking yin and yang as the theme, you can relax your own method."

Yaoma shook his hand and almost shook off the jade slip.

My Uncle Chen, what he fears most in his life is this kind of propositional teaching.

Now his whole head can only hold metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and he has no idea about the other deeper contents of yin and yang.

When he saw this jade slip, the old man couldn't help but feel sympathy for him.

This volume of jade slips can be said to be the most challenging. It has no standard answers and requires the answerer to give a deep understanding of the essence. Without a deep understanding of Yin and Yang, people with unique insights and understandings will not be able to pass the question.

"The time limit for this question is one stick of incense, so you might as well think about it."

When the person who failed to answer the question heard that the time limit had been extended by half a stick of incense, he knew that this question was a difficult question, and since he was the last person, he was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he formed a circle to see this mysterious black person.

How does the cloaked man plan to answer the question?

...Or, just lose like them and leave.

Just when Yaoma was racking his brains and couldn't figure it out, suddenly he remembered that there was a piece of white silk in the kit bag given to him by Chen Baiqi. He took it out and saw a line of small words written on it.

"If you are in trouble, you might as well close your eyes..."

When you encounter a problem, can you solve it by closing your eyes?

Yaoma looked strange and closed his eyes in doubt. Then he felt a sudden pain on the back of his neck, and then... he lost consciousness.

When "Yoma" opened his eyes again, "his" eyes and demeanor had completely changed. "He" shook his head slightly uncomfortable, and then looked at the "little mosquito" flying out from the back of "his" neck.

", pursed his lips and chuckled, then looked around again.

Seeing that "he" didn't say anything or move for a long time, the old man couldn't help but urge: "Master, half of the incense stick has passed. Can you please solve the problem as soon as possible?"

"Yoma" looked at the old man. Due to the wide brim of his hat, only a pair of clear and calm eyes were vaguely exposed. The old man couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, thinking that it was strange.

Why do I feel that this person's demeanor before and after is inconsistent?

"Yoma" hummed and moved forward. "He" took another look at the contents of the jade slips and said, "I wonder if the store would like to provide pen and ink and a bamboo slip for writing?"

The old man paused when he heard the words. He looked at "Yoma" twice more. He didn't know whether this person was really successful or just being arrogant. He hesitated for a moment, then raised the curtain. After a while, he held a roll of bamboo slips.

Come out with pen and ink.

"please."

"Yoma" took it and saluted, "Thank you very much."

The old man returned the gift immediately.

"Yoma" wrote on the bamboo slips and read: "One yin and one yang are called Tao. Laozi said - Tao generates yang, yang generates yin, yin and yang generates the Eight Diagrams, Tai Chi generates all things, all things carry yin and embrace yang, and create qi."

It is thought to be harmonious. Yin and Yang are based on the theory of Qi, and are further divided into two parts of the movement and changes of heaven and earth, sun and moon, day and night, clear and bright, water and fire, temperature and coolness, etc. In this way, "Yin" and "Yang" are abstracted.

Relative concepts...Yin and Yang are named but invisible..."

After writing a bamboo slip, he almost included all the questions that others could not answer just now. This is equivalent to the answers in the thirteen jade slips of the Yin family's question array. He has memorized them all in one bamboo slip.

Inside the bamboo slips.

The old man became more frightened as he listened, while the others were dumbfounded and looked at "Yoma" with a "god-like" look.

"Yoma" smiled, rolled up the bamboo slips, and presented them to the old man: "Please."

The old man took it with trembling hands and bowed subconsciously. Then he looked at it and praised continuously: "Good! Good!"

After he finished reading, he quickly turned around and entered the curtain again, almost slipping on his feet. "Yoma" was not in a hurry, "he" was idle outside, waiting calmly.

When the old man came out again, he dispersed the people watching the excitement around him and invited "Yoma" alone to talk inside.

"Yoma" nodded.

As soon as he entered, the old man said that he would go in and invite the person in charge, and asked "him" to wait for a while before returning.

As soon as the people left, "Yoma" only had time to take a look at the internal structure. The next second, his eyes went dark and his consciousness left the body again.

At this time, the "little mosquito" seemed to sense something and flew up again to hide behind Yaoma's neck.

Well?!

Yaoma opened his eyes and looked to the left and right in shock.

Huh?! Where is this? Why am I here? What just happened?!

At this time, Zijun, who had followed Yaoma into the shop, finally couldn't suppress his enthusiasm and excitement and said, "I didn't expect Brother Yaoma to be so secretive."

Several other people echoed: "Yes, the previous scene was so dumbfounding that I waited."

"Before, I thought that this trip would be a failure, but I didn't expect that Brother Yaoma has such knowledge and magnanimity. He seems to be a completely different person from the one I met before!"

The people around him spared no effort in praising and exclamating him, which made Yaoma simply confused.
