In the living room, people from the Confucian and Mohist circles were sitting on the left and right respectively.
On the left are Yan Hanqing, a disciple of the Mo sect who had dealt with Jiang Li before, and Mu Lingyi.
On the right are Zhong Shenxiu, the most famous figure in contemporary Taixue, the "Magic Sword of Creation", and Zi Mingyang, a Taixue scholar who once went to Yongzhou with Prince Lu.
Although the two parties and four people did not fight or quarrel, the cold atmosphere clearly reflected the relationship between the two parties.
Zhong Shenxiu was sitting on a chair, with her long knife across her knees, her eyes slightly closed, as if she was concentrating, waiting for the arrival of her master.
Mingyang, on the other hand, looked at Yan Hanqing and Mu Lingyi opposite each other, as if tit-for-tat were facing each other, like swords and swords intersecting with shadows.
The two parties visited Jiang Li one after another. Regardless of whether it was a coincidence or not, the other party had to think more about whether there was any deep meaning behind the other party's behavior.
Tit-for-tat is not only a way of expressing hostility, but also an attempt to detect someone by observing their actions.
However, Mingyang alone was no match for the two people facing him. With Zhong Shenxiu remaining unmoved, the intense stares put Mingyang at a disadvantage.
He blinked quickly to relieve eye fatigue, and then changed his tactics and tested, "The clothes are disheveled, it is an eyesore, it is really disrespectful of etiquette, it is disrespectful to the master, it is degrading to the gentleman."
Although it was a test, his aggressiveness was almost full with this opening.
Everyone in Momen wears linen clothes and straw sandals, and their long hair is tied up with strips of cloth or thin wooden sticks. This can be said to be the attire of the lowest class. For Confucian people, this kind of attire means that they are disheveled.
typical representative.
Moreover, this residence is located in Shangcheng District. It cannot be described as magnificent. It is incompatible with the attire of the people in the Mo family. Mingyang's move is not only to ridicule the other party, but also to give some eye candy to the owner.
However, Yan Hanqing is not someone to be trifled with.
When it comes to being able to speak well, many people will think of monks and Confucian scholars, but in fact, it is better to be able to speak well than to be able to speak well. Among the Mohists, Mo Bian and the famous masters who have lost their inheritance are the ones who are truly eloquent.
They are specially trained in this area.
"The punishment is not as good as that of a great official, and the courtesy is not as good as that of a common man. This is what your Confucian sages said. Is it possible that you want to object?"
Yan Hanqing smiled coldly and said, "I am a commoner."
I am a commoner, so I don't need to be polite at all.
With a simple sentence, he directly killed the criticism of etiquette and aroused Mingyang's anger.
"These are the words taught by the saint, how dare you misinterpret them?!" Mingyang clapped his hands and stood up suddenly.
"This is my correct interpretation, why should I distort it?" Yan Hanqing said calmly and calmly, "You are nothing more than a hypocritical Confucian, so what qualifications do you have to talk about the so-called etiquette? Our Mo sect does not want to pay attention to etiquette, but you are not worthy at all.
"
The punishment is not as good as that of an official, and the courtesy is not as good as that of a common man.
The initial meaning of this sentence is that scholar-officials should be regulated by etiquette and law, rather than simply using punishment. Of course, if you really commit a capital crime, you still have to kill him. At most, you should think that he was a decent person during his lifetime and give him a decent death.
.
As for the common people, there is no need to require them to follow complicated etiquette. Because the common people are poor, etiquette and law will only increase their burden.
This is the original meaning.
But now, "the punishment is not as good as the doctor's, and the courtesy is not as good as the common people" has become that the doctor does not have to serve a sentence, and there is no need to be polite when treating the common people. The meaning can only be said to be completely different and nonsense. If the speaker hears it, he will lie down
Even the coffin can be revived with anger.
Just like the Buddhist saying "put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately", it has been misinterpreted in the process of dissemination and has become a reality.
Yan Hanqing used Confucian words to criticize Confucianism, and the aggressiveness of his words exceeded the limit. He almost pointed at the nose of Mingyang, a Confucian scholar, and said, "Get out of here, you hypocrite."
But it was difficult for Mingyang to find a point to refute.
Because this is indeed true.
He could tell lies with his eyes open, but in this case, the Dao Fruit in his body might not agree.
Mingyang, who has listened to Zhong Shenxiu's advice, now knows the importance of being consistent in appearance and appearance, and the unity of knowledge and action. He knows in his heart that if he dares to be shameless, Daoguo may not want him.
Although there won't be any backlash, the level of Dao Fruit ability will definitely decrease.
In just a few words, the outcome was decided. Yan Hanqing defended Mo Bian's gold content, and used his spear to attack his shield, making it impossible for Ming Yang to advance or retreat.
However, before Yan Hanqing showed the winner's smile, Zhong Shenxiu suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Yan Hanqing and Yan Hanqing calmly.
The eyes were like two invisible blades, falling on the two of them, constantly roving, potentially cutting them open at any time, dismembering them from the inside out, and an invisible feeling of panic swept through their hearts.
It is said that when a scholar encounters a soldier, there is nothing he can do. Mo Bian encounters a Confucian scholar who uses a knife, and there is nothing he can do.
Although Yan Hanqing is not a simple Mo Bian, and his own strength is extraordinary, but in front of Zhong Shenxiu, the first person in Taixue who has an ancient style, it is still a bit unsatisfactory.
The most important thing is that he really knows how to do it.
Zhong Shenxiu studied "The Analects of Confucius", but what he paid attention to was "Wanyu".
After a look frightened the two of them, Zhong Shenxiu raised his voice slightly and said: "After watching for so long, it's time for the master to come forward."
After the words fell, a faint fragrance floated into the living room. A wheelchair rolled out from the back room, carrying the young master in plain clothes and slowly drove in. A blue butterfly flew gracefully and landed on his right shoulder, as if
He looked at Yan Hanqing and Mu Lingyi as if they were spiritually aware.
Invisible energy came quietly, like spring breeze turning into rain, silently dispelling Zhong Shenxiu's gaze.
Yan Hanqing felt that the sword light and aura that suppressed his body were gone, and when he saw the Mengdie that Momen gave to Jiang Li, he couldn't help but feel relieved, 'Sure enough, Brother Jiang still remembers our friendship.'
Smelling the faint fragrance, Yan Hanqing felt increasingly grateful.
On the other hand, Zhong Shenxiu always has a calm gaze, and there is no wave on her face with perfect facial features.
‘Zhong Shenxiu’s state of mind is becoming more and more terrifying...’ Jiang Li thought to himself when he saw this.
He was in the back room, but the sword intention of the Secret Sword of the Heart Demon had quietly spread out. When he appeared, the sword intention was activated in one fell swoop, allowing Jiang Li to indirectly stir up other people's minds.
However, this sword intention was deflated in front of Zhong Shenxiu's state of mind.
This is not only because Jiang Li's secret sword of inner demons has just been created, but also because Zhong Shenxiu's mental toughness is even better than that of Xiang Huaiyi. It can be said to be impeccable, and even Jiang Li can hardly find a flaw.
It is not impossible to do it by force, but in that case, Zhong Shenxiu will undoubtedly be aware of it.
'Junzi, Wenzong, and Zhong Shenxiu are so compatible with these two Dao Fruits that they can perfectly bring out their Dao Fruit abilities, but I wonder if his Wen Zong Dao Fruit is now perfect?'
'Yun Jiuye has been promoted, and those who are as famous as him are probably not far away from being promoted. They may even have reached perfection and are currently undergoing the promotion ceremony.'
Jiang Li was thinking in his mind, but with a decent smile on the surface, he said: "The death of the fourth prince has made a big fuss. In the past few days, people from Nantian Division and Yin Lu Division have been watching me to investigate. Although I have a clear conscience
, but I am also afraid of being involved, so I keep an eye on the visitors. No, the people from Nantiansi have just left."
"I guessed that some of them might have come here because of the Fourth Prince's affairs, so I listened in the back room for a while so that they could proceed."
He spoke extremely calmly, clearly putting vigilance and caution on the table. Although the two parties complained about Jiang Li's observation, after hearing these frank words, the dissatisfaction in their hearts disappeared.
.
Jiang Li knew this clearly.
To provoke thoughts, you not only need to rely on extraordinary means such as sword intention, but you can also use words and attitudes to impress people, and then use the secret sword of the inner demon to deepen this impression. Generally speaking, it is not as effective as using the secret sword directly, but it is worse than Moisturizing things silently.
"Brother Jiang is honest." Zhong Shenxiu said.
"Jiang always treats people with sincerity and never lies." Jiang Li said with a smile.
This is of course fake and considered a joke. The people present are not ordinary people. The forces behind him have investigated Jiang Li’s past and know something about him. With Jiang Li’s experience, no one would believe that he treats others with sincerity.
.
But saying it in such a joking tone made everyone feel like they really believed it, because Jiang Li at this moment was really honest and treated people with sincerity.
With such a smile, the original tense atmosphere was reduced a bit.
However, in fact, if Jiang Li didn't want to be discovered, it wouldn't matter if Zhong Shenxiu was here, he would be discovered just because he wanted to be discovered.
Zhong Shenxiu didn't know Jiang Li's twists and turns. Although he was sharp-minded, when it came to scheming, he was still three points weaker than Jiang Li. This man practiced the way of a gentleman. He preferred to be straightforward rather than scheming.
Use "桡语".
Seeing Jiang Li's honesty, Zhong Shenxiu didn't beat around the bush and said straight to the point: "Brother Jiang is honest, and Zhong doesn't hide much. This trip is just to ask Brother Jiang about what happened that day. But Zhong is not doing it for the fourth prince."
Rather than die, I want to know the origin of the Dao tree in the Cave Heaven Paradise? What is the effect?"
"The same applies to me." Yan Hanqing said afterwards.
Compared with the death of the fourth prince, the Paradise of Cave Heaven is more important.
The undercurrent in this divine capital became even more bizarre after the emergence of Cave Heaven Paradise.
Moreover, even if he did not take action that day, he could still sense the vitality contained in the Paradise of Cave Heaven even if he was in the realm of Etaixue Grand Sacrificial Wine and Momen Juzi.
Can this vitality be used to refine the elixir of death?
This is the idea for the Fairy Queen of Kunxu Immortal Palace.
Even worse, can this life prolong the emperor's life...
The life and death of the emperor today is related to the peace of the entire world in the future. Every time the emperor visits the sky and the new emperor ascends the throne, it is a time of turmoil.
Many third-level people will want to take advantage of the opportunity to be promoted, and even fourth-level people will want to fish in troubled waters and promote to third-level.
'Sure enough...they came here for this.'
Jiang Li thought to himself: 'I just don't know what the positions of those two are?'
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
Well, actually I'm not happy.
Yesterday, Cupping King lost to a provincial chess player in the final, which made me quite unhappy.
Today I was urged to get married again, and I kept thinking about it, it was difficult and difficult.
Fortunately, I can also enjoy seeing someone's amazing wisdom.
But due to various reasons, my thinking got stuck, so it is still the first update.
I even thought about not asking for leave today and just uploading my avatar.
One chapter has been coded now, but it’s almost midnight. It’s very difficult to update three times tonight.
If it ends up falling before the third update, I will upload the avatar tomorrow. It seems that the data settings are modified once a week, which means that after the avatar is uploaded, it needs to be modified after seven days.
I will keep the avatar for seven days and modify it after seven days, which can be regarded as saving some reputation.
Of course, all of this must be based on the premise that I can't do it at midnight. Now I think I can still struggle.
