Halfway through, Chang Shi hurried back to the county.
Su Ren hummed a song and went to watch Laojun. Those salt merchants knew that Su Ren had given the salt-making formula to Wen Dang, and it wouldn't take long for all the salt in the world to turn into snow like cloth bag salt.
White is still being snapped up at this time, dreaming of buying it at a good price when I go back.
As Su Ren walked along, the salt merchants and roadside stall owners nodded and said hello. There were people who came to Laojun Temple for the first time, but they didn't know Su Ren. They only saw a half-year-old child, walking frivolously and humming.
With an unclear and strange tone, he quickly asked the people next to him.
"Your Majesty, who is this? With such great magnificence, why do so many people respect a child so much?"
The person next to him seemed to be looking at an alien animal, with a look on his face: "How dare you come here to sell salt even if you don't even know him?"
"Isn't it just a child? Could it be that he is the nephew of Nasu County Assistant?"
The person who was asked was completely speechless, shook his head and ignored this idiot.
Some of them really couldn't bear it, thinking that it would be strange for such a person to dare to do business, and he would not be willing to die if he acted like this. He sighed: "He is not the nephew of Su Xian Zuo, he is Su Xian Zuo."
"Ah! How can such a boy be a magistrate?"
Now he was no longer an idiot, he was just a second-rate guy from there, and his words were completely out of tune. Everyone quickly stepped back, fearing that this stupid man's stupidity would be contaminated on themselves.
Bringing back a jar of rice wine from the wine stall and half a kilogram of cooked meat from the meat stall, Su Ren set up the table under the big tree in the yard, placed two wine glasses, filled them up, and faced Hawking
A mouthful.
Huo Jin ran over quickly. Su Ren looked around: "Where is your second brother?"
Hawking shook his head: "You should be practicing on the cliff of the back mountain now. I'll call you right away."
I don’t know what Huo Jin and Leng Jun said. Leng Jun, a martial arts idiot, actually stopped practicing and followed Huo Jin back. Seeing that there was wine and meat on Su Ren’s table, he was not polite and picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
Grabbing a piece of pork liver, he put it into his mouth and chewed it.
Su Ren took a sip of rice wine. The wine in the Han Dynasty had a very bad taste. Not only did it have an earthy smell, but the alcohol content was also very low. Only this rice wine tasted similar to glutinous rice wine, and it had a taste of the past. Su Ren didn't know about distilled shochu.
I gave up the idea of selling alcohol.
"I heard that Taoist priests don't eat meat. If you eat meat, you won't be able to become an immortal."
Leng Jun didn't even look at Su Ren: "What we practice is Huang Lao Tao, and what we learn is the theory of Yin Yang and Five Elements. We are not those Fang Xian Tao who do the deceptive tricks of immortal alchemists. We don't seek immortality, so how can we become immortals?
road?"
"Is there any other way to divide it?" Su Ren just wanted to find someone to talk to to relieve his boredom. Nowadays, there are so many people in Lao Jun Guan. Leng Yue is the accountant, Huo Laosi is the warehouse manager, and Huo Qian is the factory director.
Huo Jin entangled a bunch of young men to serve as security guards, and even Huo Zhilan went to sell large bowls of tea and work as a cook. Su Ren and Leng Jun were left with nothing to do.
Leng Jun sat on the chair and put the meat into his mouth with big mouthfuls: "This is natural. Yin and Yang and the five elements are the foundation of all things. How can it be compared to the tricks played by those alchemists? The five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth are in conflict with each other, and they are at rest.
Mutual generation, everything in the heaven and earth comes from it, and it can all be explained by this."
"The Tao Te Ching says, "One is born with two, two begets three, and three begets all things. All things carry yin and hold yang, and the qi is in harmony. Chaos is not divided, and the yin and yang of heaven and earth are combined. The yin and yang of heaven and earth combine to give birth to three. Then all things are produced, and the Tao becomes The origin from which all things arise, all things in the world are produced by Tao, and all things are unified in Tao.”
This was the first time that Su Ren heard someone explain the concept of Tao so exhaustively. Although he was not a Taoist priest, he did know a thing or two about the Tao Te Ching. He was more experienced than Leng Jun in this kind of philosophical issue of Taoism and nature.
Su Ren smiled and nodded: "It seems that everything in the world comes from Tao, and is the essence of heaven and earth. For example, the Tai Chi Bagua evolved from Yin and Yang."
"Exactly! The two instruments of Tai Chi give rise to four images, and the four images are the Bagua, which are Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, Dui, opposite to heaven, earth, thunder, wind, water, fire, mountain, and lake. , The interaction of the two forces of yin and yang is the root of all things. Tai Chi and Bagua means that the supernatural power is vast and can deter evil."
Seeing Leng Jun's joy, Su Ren suddenly had a bad taste: "Just now you said that one is born with two, two begets three, and three begets all things. Now you are saying that Tai Chi begets two yang, two yang begets four phenomena, and four xiangs are the eight trigrams. Why? Is it three or one or four? Does the two give rise to three or four? Why am I getting more and more confused the more I listen to it.”
"..." Leng Jun suddenly stopped what he was doing, and even forgot about the meat he was chewing in his mouth. Looking at Su Ren, he suddenly became mute.
Su Ren chuckled, stood up, picked up his wine glass, hummed a song and went to the accounting room, ignoring Leng Jun again.
Until lunch time, Leng Jun was still in a hazy state, like a walking zombie.
Leng Yue quickly asked Huo Jin: "What's wrong with my senior brother? Suddenly he became a little stupid?"
Hawking shook his head: "I don't know. At noon, the eldest brother asked the second brother to drink together, and the two of them talked under the tree in the yard. After a while, the second brother became like this."
Everyone looked at Su Ren, who just immersed himself in eating. What he cooked for lunch was braised pork with pickles, scrambled eggs with leeks, good bean sprouts, and an egg drop soup. These were Su Ren’s inventions. They didn’t know it at first. What kind of trick did Su Ren come up with, the special bean sprouts? After Su Ren made them and tasted them, he was full of praises. They gradually replaced the wild vegetables he had eaten before and became the staple food of Laojun Temple. Now, in addition to this bean sprouts technology, , several other dishes are already very common in Wenshui County.
Huo Laosi glanced at Su Ren worriedly: "Brother Ren, what did you say to Taoist Master Leng? Will everything be okay?"
Su Ren hummed while eating: "It's okay, Taoist Master Leng is going through a tribulation. After passing this level, he will truly enter the realm of a god. Take a look now. When he becomes a god, you will bow down when you meet him." Already."
Huo Laosi was the eldest with an open mouth. He had only heard about becoming an immortal, but had never seen it before. If that was really the case, he was really good at it. He quickly moved his body towards Leng Jun, wanting to Touched by the cold fairy spirit.
Leng Yue was a Taoist before, so she naturally knew what it was like to become an immortal and become a Taoist. Her senior brother Leng Jun's current state was definitely not that of enlightenment. It was obvious that he had encountered something that completely confused him, and he was so anxious that he almost cried. He said with a cry: "What kind of enlightenment is there? Brother, just tell us what exactly you said to my senior brother?"
As soon as Leng Yue shed tears, Su Ren had to say something. He smiled and said: "Actually, it doesn't matter. I just asked him: two, two, three, three, all things, and Tai Chi, two Yi, four images, four images.
Gossip, is this two giving birth to three or two giving birth to four?"
"This...!" Huo Laosi was also a literate person. When he heard this, he and Leng Yue were both dumbfounded.
The Han Dynasty currently advocates governance by doing nothing. Anyone who can read Huang Lao's theory knows something about it. Perhaps only a boring person like Su Ren would ask such a question. Huang Lao's theory has only been accumulated for more than a hundred years. It has no foundation at all.
No one noticed this kind of thing.
Seeing that there were two more stupid guys, Huo Qian was really scared. His eyes when he looked at Su Ren were filled with horror. Who could have imagined that just one sentence could turn three people in his family into fools instantly?
.There were rumors that her master was the reincarnation of an evildoer. She had never believed it. How could there be such a good evildoer in the world? Today he finally understood that Su Ren was the evildoer. He must be certain and certain.
Hawking looked at Su Ren with admiration and pulled Su Ren's sleeves: "Brother, can you teach me this trick?"
"Of course, if you see any immortals, Taoists, alchemists, or warlocks in the future, don't care what they say, just ask me the question you just asked, and keep it in mind!"
Hawking laughed and nodded vigorously.
There are limits to pranks. Su Ren didn't want his three right-hand men to turn into fools, so he got up and went outside to get a basin of water. He first poured half of the basin on Leng Jun's head, and then poured it on Huo Laosi's face.
Half of the pot was filled, and the rest looked at Leng Yue. He didn't have the heart to strike, and raised his hand to slap Leng Yue on the back. Only then did the three of them react quickly.
Leng Jun stretched out his hand to catch Su Ren. Su Ren had already rushed out the door and got into the crowd.
Leng Jun stood at the door and yelled: "Su Ren, you bastard, come back and I can't beat you to death!"
This scene is already familiar to those who have watched Lao Jun for a long time. As a small boss, he likes to make little jokes, and being cold is often the target of his training. Everyone laughed and looked at it as a joke, but they didn't care.
.
Leng Jun was so angry that Su Ren didn't dare to go home, so he had to hang out again. When Wang Ergou from the meat stall saw Su Ren coming, he quickly took out a pig's trotter from the pile of cooked meat and handed it to Su Ren, hehe smiled: "What? County?
Is Zuo bullying Taoist Master Leng again?"
Su Ren said while chewing the pig's trotters: "What is bullying? It was obvious that he didn't answer the question and almost made himself go crazy. I kindly saved him, but he still beat me. How can there be such a good person in the world like me?"
"
Wang Ergou shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Yes, Xian Zuona is the best person in the world."
While the two were talking, they saw a sudden chaos on the street, and some people were already shouting. Many people immediately gathered towards the place where the shouts were coming, and some ran towards Laojun Temple, calling them Su County as they ran.
Zuo.
Wang Ergou shouted at the man: "What are you shouting about? Didn't you see the county magistrate eating pig's trotters at my place? Why are you screaming so loudly?"
This Wang Ergou couldn't speak, and Su Ren instantly lost his appetite. He threw down the half-eaten sauced pig's trotters, threw a few coins, glared at Wang Ergou, and turned around to walk in the direction of the man.
The man who was stopped looked back and saw that it was indeed their Su County Sergeant. He immediately turned around and ran towards Su Ren: "County Sergeant, something happened, something big happened!" (To be continued)
