Chapter 7 Killing the tiger and attracting the good

The basic layout of the inn in the Song Dynasty followed the outer hall as a place for food and drinks, while the guest rooms were in the backyard, with a larger area of ​​special stables. However, because the nature of Guiyun Inn was special, the outer hall temporarily stopped catering at this time, and the tables and chairs were redesigned. At first glance, the two long tables in the middle stood opposite each other, which was obviously the main speaker sitting opposite each other, and there were long tables on both sides as a place to wait and see.

As soon as Jiang Huai and the other two entered the outer hall, they looked at each other and were crowded with people. In front of the crowd, there was a gentle and elegant young master Yuan standing in front of him, holding a representative fan in his hand, which was lightly swaying, which was quite eye-catching.

But what Jiang Huai noticed was a young man with a sword hanging from his waist behind him, with high boots in brocade clothes and high boots, and his face was full of jokes. In his expression, he seemed to be looking forward to a good show. On the other people gathered in the group looked at him from time to time, as if they were waiting for an order.

Jiang Huai had already thought about this situation, so he rushed forward to the young master who was holding the fan and bowed: "When I'm in Jiang Huai, how can I ask the young master's name?"

"I am Zhuge Mingjin, whose courtesy name is Yuchang, heard that Mr. Wen has an ancient version of the Book of Changes, so I will look at it." The young master with a fan bowed his hand and replied.

Jiang Huai did not react, but saw that the shopkeeper in the store had already come to his ears: "Zhuge Mingjin is famous for his talent, and he can be regarded as the number one talent in this place. Unfortunately, he is a poor character and lustful person. Behind him is his master Zhao Qingfu, Yiba of Bazhou. His father is Zhao Youfang, the chief magistrate of Bazhou, and the actual ruler of Bazhou."

Jiang Huai nodded slightly and indicated that he had already known it, and then replied to Zhuge Mingjin: "Prince, please forgive me, the ancient version of the Book of Changes is extremely precious and should not be easily shown to others. However, the objects and treasures are transformed into heaven, and those with virtue are here. I have three questions. If the young master can solve my confusion, the ancient version must be presented with both hands."

"please."

"The first question is, where does Yin and Yang come from the Book of Changes?"

"This is very simple. "The Book of Changes: Xici": 'One yin and one yang are called Tao. The one who follows it is good, and the one who achieves it is nature'. From this we can see that the place where Tao is yin and yang." Zhuge Mingjin answered without a moment of hesitation.

Jiang Huai smiled without saying anything, and continued to ask: "How do the Eight Trigrams and Five Elements in the Book of Changes work together?"

Zhuge Mingjin opened his mouth and wanted to answer, but the more he thought about it, he became heavier, and finally asked back: "Can the two act together?"

Jiang Huai nodded: "The five elements are mutually generated and restrained, and the strengths and weaknesses of the Eight Trigrams are all rules summarized by people in their daily lives, and they are also manifestations of Tao, so they can naturally be performed."

"The Eight Trigrams are Qian, Zhen, Kan, Gen, Kun, Xun, Li, Dui, and the five elements are metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The quantity is uneven. How to play together? Please give me advice." Although Zhuge Mingjin's reputation is not good, he is very humble at this time.

"This is exactly what I want to ask you to help me solve my doubts." Jiang Huai smiled slightly and then said, "It's okay, you can go back and think about it slowly. The truth is clear. Come and teach me again, and wait for the ancient version of the Book of Changes."

"I wonder what the third question is, sir?" Zhuge Mingjin asked again unwillingly.

"Yu Chang, you'd better retreat aside. I think my sword must be able to explain the truth." Zhao Qingfu, who was standing behind Zhuge Mingjin, pressed the sword at his waist and said loudly.

Seeing this, Jiang Huai smiled slightly: "Young Master Zhao, I heard that you have a great reputation and implemented Bazhou. But some things will eventually be based on the truth. I, Jiang Huai, have no other skills, but I have some truths to see people and things. I think you have too much hostility and the daily line is rushing to the top, which is a sign of premature death. Therefore, I advise you to accumulate more good deeds and cultivate your mind and nature."

Jiang Huai's words were like fried water in the oil pan, and he furiously furiously Zhao Qing, who was already angry, and without thinking, he pulled out the sword from his waist and slashed at Jiang Huai.

Jiang Huai didn't move, staring straight at the sword as if nothing had happened, shook his head and turned back. Just as the sword was about to touch Jiang Huai, he saw a black shadow suddenly flying towards the sword and knocking it away. At the same time, another black shadow flew straight towards Zhao Qingfu's cheek.

Then a scream resounded through the outer hall, and Jiang Huai still walked towards the backyard without looking back. Zhao Qingfu, who had originally tied his hair with golden hair, was indeed disheveled and embarrassed at this time, and the black shadow passing through his hair bun was trembling on the door frame. Someone exclaimed after seeing it clearly: "It's chopsticks."

This scream woke Zhao Qingfu up in a daze. He pushed away the hair of the face, his face twisted like a fierce ghost, and he screamed: "Come on, kill them, kill them for me."

Jiang Huai was about to turn around at this time, and he heard this and said loudly: "Brother Hua, your magic arrow, Li Guang's skills are shocking the world. Is it just a false reputation?"

"Haha, brother, I'm afraid that this will ruin our big deal."

"It's okay, it's just a pig or a dog. Even Xiao Fengxian's son was killed. What's the son of the Tongzong of Bazhou?"

"Hehe, I know that you're telling your fortune accurately. If you decide he died young, it's now."

While the two talked, the outer hall of the inn had already dispersed completely, especially Zhao Qingfu. When he heard the word "Li Guang", he had already taken people away. Hua Rong laughed again when he saw this: "Brother, I really opened my eyes today. I don't understand the obscureness of the Book of Changes, but I really admire your courage without changing your face."

"Haha, Brother Hua, I just believe in you. You can be happy first. Within three days, Yang Fu, a descendant of the Yang family, will definitely step over the lintel and call you uncle." Jiang Huai, who was turning the corner, turned pale and sweaty. Zhao Qingfu's sword wind was filled with his ears, Jiang Huai was already extremely frightened. He could not stand upright, but could only urge his thighs to move forward in a hurry. At the time of life and death, mortals were uneasy.

"Okay, then I'll wait to call you sir."

As Jiang Huaizhi speculated, after Zhao Qingfu's trouble, the news of the three questions about the Book of Changes spread rapidly throughout Bazhou as if they had grown wings. There were endless people coming to read the ancient Book of Changes, but in the end, no one could solve Jiang Huai's second problem.

Time always passes slowly in people's hopes. Finally, it was the third day, and there was no suspected descendant of the Yang family coming. Hua Rong couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, until he saw a young man walking into the store with a pretty woman's hand. Hua Rong's eyes lit up suddenly. The young man had white face and had a square face and wide ears, and there was a bit of familiarity between his eyebrows and eyes, as if he was the girl pretending to be a man when he was young. Hua Rong looked at him more and more happy, and finally couldn't help but shout loudly: "Brother Jiang, please come in, welcome him quickly."

This sound seemed to be Hua Rong using all his strength. He was loud at the beginning and light at the end. He was filled with uneasiness and hope. He heard Jiang Huai, who had different emotions in his heart, looked at the young man coming slowly and smiled brightly.

Don’t be afraid of the future and have no way back. You can look for him thousands of times in the crowd. If you have the heart to ask you thousands of words, you will have old friends thousands of miles away.
