20 Eastern Taoism
The boat is large and the deck is wide. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The sailors on board were far different from those on our continent.
They are very clean, and they will stand up and bow to us when they are a certain distance from us.
Although it cannot be described as Sven, it is completely devoid of the rudeness of the usual sailors.
It is said that the character of the servant is related to the master, and thinking of the messenger Ding Feng who led the way in front, it seems that the master of this place should not be a simple trade merchant.
Ding Feng's owner greeted him with a smile at the door of the cabin.
He was a little older than us, and he was a very handsome young man.
His smile is kind and gives a sunny feeling.
"The good guest came from afar, but he couldn't welcome him from afar, forgive his sins." He knelt down half-kneeling towards Lagersis from a distance, "In the next place, the master Bai Suiyun, see Her Royal Highness the Princess." β
"Uh......" Lagersis said, and it seemed that this overly oriental remark made her not know what to do.
It was Xia Nan who rescued her dilemma, only to see him take a step forward and say: "The long-distance boat is very tiring, and the princess is already overjoyed by Bai Gongzi's invitation, if she is so polite, the princess and the inferior will not know what to do." β
Bai Suiyun laughed: "Since that's the case, please!" With that, he got up and took the lead into the cabin.
I could clearly see Lagersis breathe a sigh of relief.
Although it is a cabin, it is a large room that can accommodate dozens of people to attend a banquet, and the surroundings are also simple, except for a few Oriental paintings and calligraphy, and low tables for Oriental people are placed on both sides of the middle aisle, which are full of fruits? I can't name a lot of them, but they are definitely fruits.
It's a luxury to have fruit to eat at sea.
"Everyone, please take some fruit slowly, and then take your leave." After we sat down, Bai Suiyun said.
βοΌοΌβ
How can there be such hospitality? As soon as we sat down, he was leaving? Could it be-
"It happened suddenly, I'm sorry......" Bai Suiyun bowed to us and turned to leave.
"Wait!" Sister Jana, Asa and Xia Nan shouted together, and Xia Nan directly blocked him.
"Ha, isn't there any malice here," Bai Suiyun leaned into Xia Nan's ear and said a few words.
"Oh," Xia Nan smiled and stepped aside, "Then I won't stop you." β
"Uh-huh!"
γγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγ
"Hey! Xia Nan! What the hell are you doing? How did you get mixed up with the merchant representatives? And just white-childe? It's weird - what did it say to you? After Bai Suiyun went out, Lagersis asked.
"Guess what~"
"Be honest!"
"He spoke too softly just now, I didn't hear clearly."
"Beat you!" Lagersis was anxious to get to her feet.
"Forget it, princess...... "Asa looked weak, "that bastard won't tell the truth unless he pushes people into a hurry, don't waste your efforts." β
"Take it easy," Sister Jia Na picked up a fruit that I couldn't name, and took a bite of it, "Well, it's delicious, since this bastard let Bai Gongzi out, there should be no danger, eat something and wait for peace of mind." β
The princess thought for a moment, and grabbed a handful of grapes angrily.
"He just said......" Xia Nan said suddenly.
"Huh?" I looked up with Laxis.
"He said he was going to fish for us to eat."
"Smack!" Lagers crushed the grapes in her hand.
"Haha! I lied to you just now, in fact, what Bai Gongzi just said was-"
βοΌβ
"He said he was going to poop."
Lagersis was completely mad, "Miss Ben is going to kill him!" I'm going to kill him! Don't stop me! β
Sister Jia Na grabbed it: "Calm down!" Calm down! We are guests now! Cherry! Come and press the princess! - Asa! Don't take advantage of the chaos to take the initiative to move your feet! β
"I really want to help!!" Asa stepped forward with a smile on the side, "What a good opportunityβ"
"Get out of here!"
"Alas, Xia Nan, you're still so bored!" In the midst of the chaos, Bai Suiyun suddenly entered the cabin.
βοΌβ Holding Lagersis down, we were all stunned when we looked up at him.
He changed his clothes,
Casual wear of short cedar trousers.
"You don't like etiquette, it's rude to pretend to be serious again, it's better to be casual, isn't it?" Bai Suiyun sat in his place, leaned there, and picked up an orange in his hand.
"It doesn't matter if you wear plain clothes, but that tone can't be changed," Xia Nan said.
"Well, family reasons, family reasons, I can't change it!" Bai Suiyun smiled, "Okay, let's relax!" β
"Whew," Lagersis rubbed her shoulder that was hurt by Sister Cana, "I knew you wouldn't mind Miss Ben and wouldn't pretend, I'm so tired!" It's all your messenger to blame for being so serious - you know Xia Nan? β
"We met my father three years ago, and he almost made him angry to death."
This bastard.
However, since we know each other, then the matter of Lacey-
"Now that we know each other, it's easy to do!" Lagersis hurriedly said, "You're from the East, come and help take a look-Sister Sakura, take it out and show him!" β
This princess is more anxious than me.
I took the paper depicting the pattern and the rubbings of the mural that my father found to Bai Suiyun.
Bai Suiyun took the piece of paper, but didn't look at it, "I'm sorry, princess, please wait a while," he clapped his hands after speaking.
Ding Feng stepped forward in response to the call, and when he saw Bai Suiyun raising the piece of paper in his hand to him, he immediately retreated.
"Still as clever as ever." Xia Nan sighed.
"Well, he's been with me since I was a child, and he knows everything I need." Bai Suiyun nodded.
"Hey, why don't you watch?" Lagersis asked, uncontrollably.
Bai Suiyun bowed slightly: "I'm sorry, princess, I can't look at it now." Because--I can't see. β
βοΌβ
Except for Xia Nan, several of us were extremely surprised.
Lagersis even shouted directly, "How is this possible?!" β
He obviously moves so freely, his eyes are clearly open, and he can clearly reveal his brilliance, but why-
"Actually, it's not completely invisible, at least my eyes can still feel the light." Bai Suiyun explained, "If a person has been blind all his life, he will be used to being no different from a normal person. β
ββ¦β¦β
It's a pity that such a vibrant, easy-going young man can't be seen.
Laxis They should feel the same way as me, they were all silent, looking at Bai Suiyun with a solemn face.
"Hey," Bai Suiyun still smiled very brightly, "Don't be dignified just because I'm blind." I am satisfied that I can now feel more of the beauty of the world than you have," and after a pause, he added, "have you ever noticed the clear sound of the morning dew dripping from the petals of a flower?" Have you ever felt the scent of the first grass in spring? Have you ever understood the joy of butterflies breaking out of their cocoons? - Actually, as long as you feel the world with your heart, there are many wonderful things around you. β
yes, that feeling,
Really, it's beautiful.
"Ahh Indeed, we didn't notice any of thisβ" Asa scratched her head and broke the silence first, "but I can understand that the scent of a girl's body after washing algae in the dark night is indeed more enticing than during the day-"
"Get out!" The three of us girls yelled at Asa together. Sister Cana and Lagersis went straight to the action.
I took a step slower, really, how could this guy always be so bad.
"I really don't know how your brain grows, really, the beautiful feeling described by Bai Gongzi was ruined by you like this!" Lagersis stomped Asa to the ground and kicked hard.
"The hosts! The carver came, "It was Ding Feng who saved Asa's life."
After taking the last kick, Asa snorted and sat down next to Xia Nan to be treated.
The appearance of being beaten up and blue-deserved.
The old carver brought by Ding Feng stepped forward to carve the paper on the woodblock he brought, and soon there were concave and convex patterns on the board, which were exactly the same as those on the paper.
"What a superb technique," looking at the old carver with flying knife skills, Sister Jana admired.
"Hmm!" Bai Suiyun pointed to the carver and said, "His name is Wang Yi, he is the best carpenter in my country, and he is also the best woodcarver - but he does not have his own name," his voice lowered, and at this time, we saw Bai Suiyun for the first time There was a trace of loneliness on his face, "In my country, craftsmen are not respected by you - they don't even have the right to belong to their own works, of course, they only have numbers, no names - they can only do the same thing day after day according to the meaning of the above." This Wang Yi, he was unwilling to let his skills be buried like everyone else, so he begged me to take him out. β
"Could it be that the fine porcelain, the embroidery, and your Oriental ......?" Lagersis couldn't help but ask.
Bai Suiyun nodded: "Yes, they are all made by unknown craftsmen, and my ship is still built by Wang Yi, who is always responsible for it." β
"It's so unfair! With his abilities," Lagersis pointed to Wang Yi, "in our country, it is absolutely no problem to obtain a knighthood and become a nobleman!" And he will build such a beautiful and big ship, and those countries on our continent are not rushing to ask for it? If he is willing, Miss Ben will directly ask his father to ask him to be the royal craftsman of our country! β
"There is a princess, you ...... this sentence," Bai Suiyun smiled and said a few words of oriental dialect that we couldn't understand to Wang Yi, who had already finished.
After listening to Bai Suiyun's words, the old carver was stunned for a while, and when he turned around, he was already in tears, facing Lagersis, and knelt down with a thud.
Lagersis hurriedly tried to pull him up, "This...... This ......" Lageris was probably the first time she had met an old man who showed such sincere feelings, and her face immediately turned red and she looked very flustered.
"Haha......" Bai Suiyun said with a smile, "Ding Feng, take him down, if he does this again, the princess will be too shy to escape." β
"Yes!"
"Then I'll take a look at this now," after they went out, Bai Suiyun picked up the wooden board and touched the pattern on it with his hand, "Ah...... This is a small seal, well, interesting......"
Can he read it?
I looked at him nervously, my heart pounding.
"Is thisβyou should have found it on an altar, right?"
I nodded, and suddenly remembered that he couldn't see, and replied hurriedly; "Yes."
"Ha~ Don't worry about me, I can feel the action of your nodding," still smiling like that, Bai Suiyun pointed to the wooden board and continued, "This should be written on the curtain of the altar, it doesn't mean much, well, it's marked with some geographical locations and the like, and there are some words like inviting the help of the gods from all directions - the same as the mural rubbing--but this one you call the seal on the box is the Tao symbol that we Taoists often use." β
"Taoism? Dao Fu? β
"Well, Taoism, this is a bit far away, Taoism is like your church, it is our state religion. We Taoist priests are similar to your priests, and the medium we use to cast our spells is the Dao Talisman. β
"Oh, is it the same as when we draw a magic circle?" Asa asked.
"Yes. This Dao talisman, the four corners are also painted with marks representing the four holy beasts - it is used for sealing, and what it seals should be something very powerful, or it will not invite the four holy beasts to help. β
"Then may I ask you...... "I told Lacey about his situation, "does his situation have anything to do with this talisman?" β
"That's ......," Bai Suiyun muttered, "Maybe there aren't many places where I can help you." Kindness...... But maybe I can explain what you think is unreasonable. It's a little more complicated, the Lacey you are talking about - I don't think his relationship with Taoism is ordinary! β
"So," Lagersis cut him off, "is Lacey saved?" β
"Maybe there is, maybe not, to be honest, I'm not very confident in Xia," Bai Suiyun lowered his head and pondered, "Let's explain it first." Our Taoism is a school of thought that believes in nature, and its purpose is the sentence -- 'man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law of the Tao, and the Tao is the law of nature', which means that the laws of nature give rise to the Tao, and the heavens take the Tao as the law, the earth takes the heaven as the law, and the people take the earth as the law. Belch...... To put it simply, the laws of nature are the most basic canons. We learn the laws from nature and then apply them to our lives, and so Taoism was born. Because everyone has a different understanding of the laws of nature, there are many branches of our Taoism, but one thing remains the same, that is, in our opinion, everything in the world, including people, gods, and demons are all based on nature, unlike your theory that people are created by God, and the theory that demons and gods are opposedβso our Taoist Taoism is not as obvious as your opposite. Your divine magic and dark magic are opposed, and the four types of magic are opposedβyou should know this very well as Asa as a magician, right? β
"Well, I can only learn water and wind, brother can only learn wind and light, and we can't learn earth magic." Asa replied.
"Our magic system is a synthesis, unlike your four systems plus light and dark, we are the five systems of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth derived from the Yin and Yang Doctrine, all Taoist priests can cultivate, but some people are good at different fields, and we can even fuse Yin and Yang-ah...... It's a bit far, isn't Lacey's blood relatable to gods and demons? According to your theory of light and darkness, it is impossible, but if it is our Taoism, since people, gods and demons are born of nature, it is not impossible to fuse. β
"Can you too?" I asked.
"Me?" Bai Suiyun shook his head, "If you know what kind of Dao technique it is, you should be able to, right?" But like I said earlier, there are too many branches of our Taoism......"
My heart sank, but I still asked with some hope, "What about Lacey's life......"
"That's what makes me weird. If your analysis is correct, of course, I will come to the same conclusion as the Great Sage from that information. But this way of relying on the folding of yang shou to achieve the enhancement of * strength is definitely not done by Taoists, we believe in nature, our lives are given by nature, and do not belong to ourselves, from the day we are born, nature has set a number for us - similar to your astrologers, we have Taoist priests who can even accurately calculate when their life span will end - ah, it is a bit far away, in short, that is to say, the way of Lacey is against the path for us, and the consequences of this will be bad to God, and the form and spirit will be destroyed! β
"Yes......" hope was dashed again.
I'm disappointed, I'm really disappointed.
Les......
Even the Orientals can't help you.
What the hell can I do to save you?
Tears flowed down her cheeks.
"Miss Sakura, don't be disappointed," Bai Suiyun comforted me, "Judging from the current situation, at least you already know a lot more than before, don't you?" Reis has a close relationship with Dao, as long as he continues to search, there will definitely be results, and ......" he hesitated for a moment, and continued, "Give you a hope that may not be hopeful, after all, you are only a little learned, and you only know a little about Dao, maybe...... My father knew better, and he was about to meet in Kesir, and maybe there would be a turnaround. β
"Yes," I nodded, "thank you." β
"However, I envy that Lacey."
βοΌβ
"Every time I think of him, the princess and your heart beats faster. Reis can be so favored by the two, there must be something special about him, I really want to pay a good visit to him, if there is a fate, please also ask the two to help introduce him. β
"Ahh Good. β
γγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγ
"Ah~ really worthy of being an Oriental, there is such a big bath on the ship, so comfortable~" Soaking in the bath, Lagersis looked satisfied, "The banquet just now was not bad, those things were delicious, and they were so exquisite-I really don't know how they did it, those cooks in the palace can only burn and bake-"
"I know~"
"Huh? Sakura-san, will you?! β
"It's not all going to be easy, it's easy to do~" I couldn't help but start showing off, "My mother is an Oriental~ She taught me a lot~ That white snack is made with fire to boil water, and the food is steamed with steam, aren't we all roasted, so it's not so soft, and ~ The steak you like to eat is fried in oil~ But it's not with olive oil~ It's made with animal fat--this steak is also Lacey's favorite food~ I used to reward him for making it~"
"That red-eyed idiot likes to eat too...... Lagersis muttered, and her mood began to drop.
"Huh? Want to learn? I can teach you~"
"Me? ......" Lagersis thought for a moment, "Forget it...... I can't even bake a cake -- I can't learn it. Alas, Sister Sakura, you're so strong......"
"Okay, okay~ Why did you find out where Xiao Reis is in a while, Sakura, do you know how this wine is made?" Sister Cana didn't forget to bring a bottle of Oriental wine after soaking in the water, and sighed after seeing me shake her head, "Alas! This wine is so good, I've only heard that it's made from grain, and it's worth at least two gold coins, right? Do they drink this wine every day? So happy. Wherever there is like us, it would be nice to have fruit wine to drinkβalas, it is said that the East is the heavenly realmβ""
"Yes, it is said that all of them wear silk clothes - I would love to see them!" Lagers agreed.
"Maybe when you go, you'll find that you're not even dressed as their servants." I said with a smile as I massaged Lagersis.
Lagers lay on the edge of the pool, squinting comfortably, "Should it?" After all, I can only wear silk clothes for celebrationsβwell, what am I, a princess, compared to them? β
"But I can't see it, you princess is quite brainy, I thoughtβ" Sister Cana looked at Lagersis's plump breasts, "I thought your head was inversely proportional to your chest." β
βοΌβ Lagersis turned her face in confusion.
"I mean, you even thought of wooing that Wang Yi. With his shipbuilding skills, if there were a few such big ships of the Orientals in our country, our military strength would definitely be the first in the whole continent -- very politically minded! Sister Jana patted her approvingly.
"Ah~ Is there still this use? - Miss Ben just wanted to bring him over and build some new ships to make my father happy, and then agree to my marriage contract with Lacey," Lagersis closed her eyes again, her face happy, "I didn't think about anything else......"
"Ugh! I retract what I just said, it turns out that you are still big-chested and brainless, and you are still the fool who only thinks about sticking to Xiao Lacey every day - I don't know if Xiao Lacey wants you! Butβ" Sister Jana stole close to Lagersis and grabbed her twin peaks from behind, "With these two papayas, little Lacey must be happy!" β
"Wow! How did you! Miss Ben, Sister Cana, will sentence you for offending the princessβah! Help me! Lagersis struggled in a panic, "Sakura-san, help!" Ah~ Don't rub it! β
- Does Lacey like her?
I looked down at my poor boobs and sighed heavily.
It's a big gap.
"Huh? Sakura seems to have a little low self-esteem - do you want my sister to help you? Hehe~ as long as ......"
Sister Cana let go of Laxis and threw herself at me with a wicked smile.
"Wow! No! β
