Xu Rui smiled faintly, and said to Tian Cong without being surprised: "Master Tian doesn't need to say much, since the kid has played, he has put aside the gains and losses, and I have something to ask for advice today." ”

Tian Cong said: "I want to hear about it." ”

Xu Rui said: "The kid heard that the Taoist lineage emphasizes Taoism and naturalness, but is it? ”

Tian Cong nodded and said: "Yes, the law of man is the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law, and the Tao is natural." ”

Xu Rui said: "May I ask Master Tian, what is the Tao?" ”

Tian Cong said: "The avenue is invisible, and the world of fertility is born; The avenue is ruthless, running the sun and the moon; The avenue is nameless, and all things are nourished for a long time; I don't know its name, but I am called it. ”

Xu Rui said: "In other words, the Tao gives birth to all things, and all things can be the Tao?" ”

Tian Cong said: "Of course, the avenue of nothingness is naturally sexual. The Tao is formless, the truth is not the appearance, and all things in nature can be the Tao. ”

Xu Rui smiled: "In that case, is Master Tian enlightened?" ”

Tian Cong sneered: "The word Tao contains all things, and the old man only knows fur. ”

"Oh?"

Xu Rui chuckled, shook his head, and said, "But why does the kid think that Master Tian doesn't know anything about the word?" ”

"What?!"

As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly exploded, the word Tao is the core of Taoism, Xu Rui actually said that the master of the Taoist family didn't know anything about the word Tao, didn't that mean that what he talked about here was all?

If Tian Cong doesn't understand a word of Taoism, can Xu Rui understand more than him? A nobody dares to be so open-mouthed and make wild remarks, it is really bold!

Tian Cong was furious when he heard this, if he hadn't stood on the dragon platform, he would have slapped him a long time ago, how could he let him stand in front of him?

Tian Cong's face was gloomy, and he said fiercely: "Boy, the Great Dao contains all things, and the old man is still far from enlightenment, but since you say that the old man doesn't know anything about the Dao, he must have a deep understanding of the Dao, and the old man wants to hear your high opinions!" ”

This seems to be modest, but in fact it is very vicious, if Xu Rui can't say why, and even as long as he leaves a small flaw, he can take the opportunity to make trouble, trample Xu Rui on the soles of his feet, and never turn over!

"Oh no, that little friend doesn't choose what to say, Tian Cong is going to kill him."

Zhang Zongnian's heart sank, and he said urgently to his colleagues.

Several old men were willing to help him, but as contestants, they could not interfere with everything on the dragon platform, so they could only sit on the chairs and stare dryly.

King Su, who was watching the ceremony, was anxious and said to Huang Zhengyuan: "Brother Huang, it's really not good, can you interrupt this debate?" ”

Huang Zhengyuan shook his head and said solemnly: "That Tian Cong has been forced into a corner by Brother Xu, and he will definitely not give up, if he interrupts at this time, he will definitely be bitten by a mad dog, and we may only have to pay more and more." ”

King Su said anxiously: "What should I do?" ”

King Yu sighed: "Now I can only look at his own creation." ”

Just when everyone was worried about him, or waiting to see the excitement, Xu Rui didn't see any difference.

I'm not your opponent when it comes to philosophy, but when it comes to science, you can't catch up!

Xu Rui sneered in his heart, and said lightly: "The kid doesn't dare, although the kid knows very little about the Dao, it doesn't prevent Tian Shi from knowing nothing about the Dao." ”

Hearing this, Tian Cong was even more angry in his heart, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then why do you say that the old man doesn't know a word of the Tao?" Is it just your empty mouth and white teeth? ”

Xu Rui shook his head and said, "Naturally not." Dare to ask Tian Shi, does a porcelain cup filled with water invert the mouth of the cup, and the water droplets fall to the ground? ”

Tian Cong said: "Naturally, it is the way. ”

Xu Rui said with a smile: "If you cover a piece of cardboard at the mouth of the cup, drill a small hole in the paper, and then pour water out, will the water still flow out?" ”

Tian Cong laughed when he heard this: "I said what kind of mystery are you doing, it is actually something that these three-year-old children understand, the water-filled porcelain cup is reversed, not to mention water, even the cardboard covering the cup will also fall to the ground!" ”

"Are you sure?"

"Naturally, sure!"

Xu Rui smiled: "Since Master Tian is so sure, why don't you try it here yourself?" ”

Tian Cong frowned, looking at Xu Rui's unfazed appearance, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

But if you think about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with your conclusion, but I'm afraid that the kid is going to work on the materials, so that he can make a fool of himself, and supervise it with his own eyes for a while, are you afraid that he will play any tricks?

Thinking of this, Tian Cong nodded and said, "The avenue is like this, so what's the harm in giving it a try?" ”

"Good!"

Xu Rui beckoned to find a few scholars, whispered in his ear, and the scholars immediately turned around to find what Xu Rui said.

Tian Cong sneered, returned to the futon and sat down, closed his eyes and waited, while Zhang Zongnian went around to Xu Rui and asked, "Xiaoyou, the paper does not block the water, even if you cover it with a piece of hard paper, how can it be reasonable to turn the cup mouth upside down?" ”

Xu Rui said with a smile: "The kid has his own reason, and the master looks at it." ”

Seeing that Xu Rui was confident, Zhang Zongnian couldn't say anything more, so he had to continue to wait on the sidelines.

At the viewing table, Huang Zhengyuan frowned and asked King Yu: "Lord Wang, do you think the water in the cup will fall?" ”

King Yu shook his head: "If it is someone else, this king naturally thinks that it will fall, but he is a Yin Adjustment Soldier, please Xu Rui of Tianlei, this matter is not easy to say......"

Huang Zhengyuan nodded slightly, his eyes glanced at Xu Rui, who was strolling leisurely, revealing a thoughtful look.

Hundreds of people watching the ceremony waited intently, most of them didn't believe that Xu Rui could play any tricks under Tian Cong's nose, as for the water-filled porcelain cup covered with cardboard, will the saliva flow down when the cup is turned around, do you still need to ask this kind of question?

As long as they're not idiots, who would be stupid enough to think that they can block the flow of water with a layer of cardboard with a hole in it?

Everyone waited for a whole cup of tea, and just when they were about to get impatient, the scholar finally came back with a cart.

The cart has three layers, and on each floor is a large plate covered with a red cloth, so that it is impossible to see what it is.

The scholar carried the plate on the first floor to the dragon platform and uncovered the red cloth, which contained a teacup, a pot of water, an iron needle and a piece of cardboard.

Tian Cong looked at the props brought by the scholar, and sneered in his heart, only this little thing has been prepared for such a long time, if it is impossible to say that the kid has not done anything, he will be debunked in public for a while, and see what kind of face he has to argue with the old man!

was thinking about it, but suddenly heard Xu Rui say: "The things have been brought, for the sake of justice, please ask Master Tian and Lord Tao, the presiding officer of the debate, to check and inspect together." ”

A trace of surprise flashed on Tian Cong's face, he didn't expect Xu Rui to have the courage to take the initiative to let himself check, could he be confident that he could hide his eyes?

Thinking about it, he didn't say a word, got up from the futon, and checked the things with Tao Zeng, who was sitting in the front row of the viewing seat.

Tian Cong looked very carefully, did not let go of any details, but found no problems, the simpler the things, the more difficult it is to do tricks, he and Tao Zeng can be sure that what they brought is indeed just ordinary teacups, kettles, iron needles and cardboard.

Tao Zeng glanced at Xu Rui, and he didn't know what this young man wanted to do, but this operation did successfully arouse his interest.

Seeing that the things were not boring, Tao Zeng announced aloud to everyone, and then did not leave, just stood aside and waited to see Xu Rui's next move.

Xu Rui picked up the iron needle as if no one was around, unceremoniously pierced a small hole in the cardboard, and then lifted the kettle and poured water into the teacup, the water was very full, and he didn't stop until it was about to overflow.

Then he picked up the perforated cardboard and carefully placed it on the rim of the teacup.

"Okay, please ask Master Tian to turn the cup upside down himself, let's see what happens."

Xu Rui said to Tian Cong with a smile.

Tian Cong was stunned for a moment, seeing that the smile on Xu Rui's face became brighter and brighter, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense, but it was too ridiculous to want to block the flow of water with just a piece of paper.

He snorted softly, stretched out his two fingers to grasp the small porcelain cup, and leaned in front of him to look closely.

The whole process of Xu Rui's punching, pouring water, and covering paper was all completed under his nose, and there was no possibility of adulteration at all, could there really be a miracle?

Tian Cong bit his teeth, his heart was horizontal, his palm suddenly flipped over, and in front of everyone's eyes, the porcelain cup finally turned over.
