Chapter 40 of the main text, gains and losses are within the bounds

Lin Yinzheng wondered how a Taoist priest called himself a layman, and the host of Baiyunguan had already said with a smile: "Senior brother originally served the Tao at home, because he was obsessed with the art of calming nightmares, he called himself a layman, and later left home to travel, and came to Baiyunguan three years ago, because he was the oldest, and half-way, it was difficult to talk about it conventionally, and finally my generation was called my senior brother!"

The Nightmare Layman also smiled: "A few years old is a lot of advantage, but my advantage can't be taken advantage of casually." The five-color stone is my hard work, through thousands of mountains and rivers, only to find it from thousands of miles away, if it is given to you like this, will not let you take advantage of the sky. Now I have a few questions for you, and if the answer is good, I will consider myself unlucky to give you the five-color stone, and if I don't answer well, I can't help it!"

Lin Yin smiled: "Then if I answer very well, but you don't say it well, it's not that I will never be able to get the five-color stone." ”

The Nightmare Layman glared, "Little doll, don't doubt the character of this layman, this layman has never been the same, don't say a few five-colored stones, even if it is the life of the layman, as long as the layman thinks that you answered well, he will never deny it!"

The host of Baiyunguan smiled and said: "Senior brother's statement, I can testify to it, from the moment we know it, senior brother has always been the same!"

Seeing that Lin Yin didn't raise any more objections, the Zhenxiao monk smiled and said, "Let me ask a simple one first, what is the relationship between yin and yang gossip and the five elements?"

When the Nightmare monk asked the first question, Lin Yin suddenly realized, what is the question, this is to steal art! This question is all-encompassing and involves the root of metaphysics, which seems simple, but in fact, there is no certain metaphysical attainment, and it is not clear at all. Even if you can know the mystery, it is impossible to answer it for someone other than the teacher. This Nightmare Monk must have wanted to take this opportunity to let Lin Yin answer his questions. Knowing that he was fooled, but he had already promised the Nightmare Layman, Lin Yin couldn't refuse to answer!

After thinking about it for a while, Lin Yin opened his mouth and said: "All things in the world have to interact with each other, nothing more than five categories, self-born, self-born, self-gramming, self-restraint, and oneself of the same kind, so there is the Five Elements Theory, and gold, wood, water, fire and earth have surpassed the five specific substances, and have become synonymous with the five types of natural substances. The Lord kills and converges into gold, the Lord rises and the strip is wood, the Lord is cold and downwards is water, the Lord is warm and rises into fire, and the Lord bears and biochemical becomes earth. These five categories can encompass all things in heaven and earth, so this space is also called the five elements realm! And yin and yang are the parents of the five elements, and they are in the five elements, and outside the five elements, the beginning of yin and the beginning of yang! In order to determine the direction of space, there are eight trigrams, and there are two trigrams in the beginning of yin and yang, and there are six in the intersection of heaven and earth, and the eight directions are determined! In order to set the passage of time, they are integrated into the three elements and nine fortunes, and the earth moves with the sky, so there are eight trigrams that go against the tide! In short, yin and yang are the sects, the five elements are born, the space is formed, the gossip is fixed, the heavens and the earth are moving, and time slips!

The Nightmare Lay was listening with relish, and suddenly saw that Lin Yin was silent, and hurriedly said: "Why don't you say it? Don't you want the five-color stone? What does that first yin and first yang mean? Why is yin and yang outside the five elements, doesn't that mean that some yin and yang are not in our world?"

Lin Yin said indifferently: "Do you think your question is reasonable? Do you think my answer is not worth your few five-color stones? Do you think I should still answer your question?"

The old man of the Nightmare Lay blushed, and he was stunned for a while and said: "The thing you answered is more expensive than the five-color stone, but the goods are the most expensive for the buyer! I'll definitely give you the five-color stone in the end, but you should also answer some small questions for me. ”

The host of Baiyunguan hurriedly helped: "Why don't you two discuss it again, and see how many five-colored stones can be exchanged for one answer, or how many answers can be exchanged for all five-colored stones." ”

Lin Yin looked at the Nightmare Monk and asked, "How much do you think my answer just now is worth?"

The Nightmare Monk said without thinking: "It's worth all the five-color stones you need", hearing the violent coughing sound of the Baiyunguan host, the Nightmare Monk pulled his gray beard, rolled his eyes and continued: "But this Layman has always been a person who only takes advantage of the advantage and refuses to suffer, when he encounters such a good opportunity to increase prices, how can he exchange with you at a low price, and I won't open his mouth widely, three, just three questions, how about it?"

Lin Yin couldn't help but laugh and said: "It's not good, I just asked my friend to contact the seller on the Internet, and it's just a thousand eight hundred, why should I bargain with you here!"

Looking at Mao Di, who came over with a smile on his mobile phone, the Nightmare Lay Man panicked, "Our transaction has not been completed yet, so you have contacted a third one, which is not in line with business rules! Otherwise, you can answer my question selectively, as long as there are enough three." ”

The host of Baiyunguan also hurriedly said: "And the time and place also depend on your convenience, it is up to you to choose." ”

Lin Yin looked at the Nightmare Monk and asked, "If the price will not rise again?" ”

The Nightmare Layman's face was determined, "This is a price increase, I am following the principle of maximizing commercial interests." I'm very satisfied with the current income, so we can count it as a deal?"

Lin Yin nodded, "Deal." ”

Looking at Mao Di's smug smile, the host of Baiyunguan realized that he had fallen for Lin Yin, but everything was a little late!

Accompanied by Wu Que to the market to buy some broken items, Lin Yin and his party returned to the hotel, and as soon as they entered the hall, they saw the Zhenwei monk and the host of Baiyunguan waiting there, "Haven't the two Taoist leaders already returned, why did they appear here again, could it be that they also came to stay in the hotel?"

The host of Baiyunguan pretended not to hear the ridicule in Lin Yin's words, and said calmly: "After looking back, when I said that you are from Qingyuan County, my senior brother was busy coming to ask you about someone, this person lives in Sanwan Town, Qingyuan County, and is a feng shui master, called Lin Injury, in the early years, the senior brother ran with Master Lin for a year, and then Master Lin retired and lost contact. ”

After Lin Yin listened, he looked at the Nightmare Monk and asked, "Is this a problem?"

Without waiting for the Nightmare Monk to answer, the host of Baiyunguan preemptively said: "Of course this can't be counted, this is what I asked, and it has nothing to do with the three questions of the senior brother." ”

Lin Yin continued to look at the Nightmare Monk and asked, "That's what you mean?"

The Nightmare Lay Man thought for a while and said, "If you can count this in addition to the three questions, I'm very happy, if not, then count it as one, anyway, I will be happy to know Master Lin's recent situation!"

Lin Yin felt a faint relief in his heart, his father roamed the rivers and lakes, and the righteous word was the first, after all, he still made some real people! There is no need to be stuck with a few questions about this kind of real person, if there is a chance, he should still say something more to the Zhenwei monk. Thinking about this, Lin Yin suddenly realized in his heart that between gains and losses, it turned out that they were not opposites, but compatible, gains were within losses, not in the right of loss, and losses were gained!
