"Cultivation is your own business. It's up to you to make your own choice."
After saying that, Taoist Guanqi stopped talking and sang the Taoist formula of "The Sutra of Slaughter" by himself.
Liu Li sat on the floor and began to listen, thinking to himself: "Am I not emotionally intelligent enough to make him angry by asking this?"
"Taoist Guanqi himself said that he also needs the secret power light points, so his answer must be to give him all the secret power light points! But as a mysterious senior, he has his own self-esteem, and it is impossible for him to propose this to me. kind of request..."
Liu Li was thinking wildly, and it didn't take long for him to sort out his thoughts, stop thinking about all this mess, and start practicing according to Taoist Guanqi's instructions.
the next day.
nervous!
Liu Li was wearing equipment in his bedroom, preparing to face the customer head-on.
He wears a stab-proof suit inside, and wears a green slanted-collar Taoist uniform on the outside. He bought this online specifically to pretend that he was also a member of the cultivating community, so that customers would be wary of him and not dare to attack him casually.
He put on his cloud socks and cloth shoes again and looked in the mirror. Not to mention, Liu Li felt that he actually had some taste.
It's just that this outfit is a bit cold. The cold wind is blowing outside and I'm afraid I can't bear it. Liu Li puts on a black down jacket. This clothes is very thick, very warm and looks good. The hems on both sides look like a windbreaker. Liu Li can't bear to part with it. Buy this kind of good clothes, which his mother bought for him before.
Finally, Liu Li put the last piece of the Taoist suit purchased online, a small square hat, on his head. The scientific name of this hat seems to be "Zhuangzi scarf".
Bringing his cell phone and keys, Liu Li did not forget to stuff the unique chili pepper water he made into his coat pocket, and also brought a self-defense umbrella.
Before going out, Liu Li heated the winter flower wine in the water bath again and drank today's portion of winter flower wine.
"It's really effective. The pain in my chest has become very weak."
"However, the best case scenario is to scare the client so that he will not have any unfavorable thoughts towards me and will not do anything if he can."
Liu Li also put on sunglasses and a mask. He was afraid that this client was some kind of psychology expert who could observe other people's micro-expressions and judge whether the other person was guilty. He now covered his face with a mask and blocked his glasses with sunglasses. In this regard, There will be much less worries.
At the same time, avoid accidentally injuring yourself when using the magic pepper water.
Liu Li felt that he had read a lot of online novels, and his "anti-reconnaissance consciousness" in this area was full. However, when he went out, he was still worried and went to put the talisman paper he bought online, but he didn't know whether it was useful or not. Cover the inside of the coat to prevent magic attacks.
Go out.
Subway.
In the city center, at the exit of the subway line, Liu Li walked out without changing his expression.
He felt that the "turning rate" of passers-by was very high today, probably because he was dressed so cool and the hat on his head was very eye-catching.
Liu Li held a big black umbrella and walked on the foggy street when he saw the door of the agreed coffee shop.
He took a deep breath, nervously picked up his phone and sent a message:
"I have arrived."
The customer replied: "Teacher Liu, I see you."
Liu Li calmed down and walked in gracefully, and then saw a beautiful girl dressed fashionably waving to him.
"Teacher Liu, this way."
Her Mandarin was not very good, and she was a little jerky. Liu Li looked over and was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the customer was actually a girl!
She has prominent eyebrow bones, thick and deep eyelashes, a high bridge of nose, and curled lips. She looks like a mixed race. Even wearing a down jacket, you can see that she has a very good figure.
"Are you a customer?" Liu Li walked over and sat across from her. There was already a cup of steaming coffee in front of her.
"You can call me Ella." She said with a charming smile, "I also have a Chinese name, which was given by my father. It's Song Sanyue."
"Hello, Miss Song." Liu Li stretched out his hand and shook her hand.
"Teacher Liu, should I call you teacher or Taoist priest?" Song Sanyue asked with a smile.
Liu Li opened her black coat, allowing her to see her obvious Taoist uniform.
Liu Li pretended to be free and easy, and also smiled and said: "Is the title important?"
Song Sanyue was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I am not savvy enough. Teacher Liu, your translation is indeed so exquisite. It seems that you are an expert."
Liu Li smiled and said: "It can't be called attaining the Tao, I'm just pursuing the Tao."
"Each of us is exploring our own path." Song Sanyue said. At this time, the cafe waiter came over and Song Sanyue asked: "Teacher Liu, what do you want to drink, I will give you some."
"Have a cup of whatever you want." Liu Li said. He didn't plan to drink it. Who can guarantee that Song Sanyue didn't find some tricks in advance to add some medicine to the coffee he ordered.
When going out, be careful to protect yourself.
When the waiter walked away, Liu Lida said: "Let's get down to business. What content do you want to discuss with me about translation?"
Song Sanyue asked: "Do you have a translation?"
Hearing her question, Liu Li realized in annoyance that he had brought everything with him when he went out, except for his work laptop!
He was preoccupied with confronting clients, confronting each other, and testing each other. He forgot that this was about discussing work.
Fortunately, the translation he translated was saved in the cloud document. Liu Li took out his mobile phone and sent the latest version he translated yesterday afternoon to Song Sanyue.
Song Sanyue looked at the documents on her phone carefully, while Liu Li secretly looked at her.
This girl is really beautiful. Her facial features have the three-dimensional features of Europeans and Americans, but also the softness of Chinese people. Her serious appearance is also very good-looking. Liu Li even felt a little guilty. He actually thought that such a cute girl would harm him. How could it be possible? ?
Later, Liu Li's eyes were attracted by her mobile phone.
Damn it, rich woman.
The mobile phone in her hand turned out to be the latest flagship mobile phone from the large foreign company "Xin Shen Media". It had a ceramic back cover, high-end leather, good looks, strong performance, and an expensive price.
She was also wearing a watch. Although Liu Li didn't understand watches, it could be seen that the mechanical watch was probably a valuable item.
The clothes and bags on her body are all famous brands, right? She is so rich?
Liu Li's previous good impression of her disappeared, and the great distance brought him back to reality.
"She and I are not at the same level at all..." Liu Li became more vigilant.
The waiter brought the coffee at this time, and Liu Li pretended to stir it. He didn't even plan to drink it, and he didn't even take off his mask.
After a long time, Song Sanyue put down her cell phone and said with surprise: "Nais, your translation is very Nais."
Good guy, the hometown dialect has appeared... Liu Li complained in his heart, and then gave a polite smile, and then he realized that the other party could not see his smile.
"However, I have some questions that I wanted to ask you before." Song Sanyue said: "About the discussion of some terms in the Taoist Scriptures."
Liu Lidao: "You ask as many questions as you can, and I'll answer as much as I can."
"The first is the section on food and bait, about the use of medicine to prolong life, and the use of traditional Chinese medicine to nourish one's nature..." Song Sanyue said: "Your translation is that the best medicine can prolong life, but after the 'life', you also changed it Is there any conflict when translated into life, body, etc.?"
Liu Li said: "Different words have different meanings in different contexts. Is this normal?"
"Do you think it should be translated as 'life'?" Song Sanyue asked: "Instead of the broader term 'life'?"
Liu Li thought for a moment and said: "This sentence in the Taoist Scriptures also appears in other ancient books."
"The "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" once mentioned: Applying medicine can make people live in peace and longevity, ascend to the heavens as gods, travel up and down, serve all spirits, grow feathers on the body, and cook well."
"In the official translation, life here means life span. If it means life in a broader sense, wouldn't it be translated as 'medicine can extend the scope of life'? It's weird, right?"
Although Liu Li said this, he suddenly realized that in the Taoist temple hall, when the Taoist Guanqi told him the true story of the Shibai Chapter, he was conveying the meaning of every sentence and every word.
The "ming" of Shangyao Mingyan, in the meaning conveyed by Guanqi Taoist, does not refer to life span, but the "ming" of life!
He didn't think it was anything at the time, because he felt that life span was also included in fate, but now he heard Song Sanyue mention it and thought of it.
