Chapter 53 Tea, "The Way of Employing People" and the Second Form of "The Seven Styles of Burning the Sky".
Chu Fengge and Shangguan Jin glanced at each other, then at Gu Xu, then stood up and saluted Luo Si Shou to retire.
Today, they have long been accustomed to the special treatment of Gu Xu by Luo Sitou.
On the one hand, they are deeply envious;
On the other hand, they were accustomed to the majestic appearance of Luo Si Shou before - if Luo Si Shou poured them tea with a pleasant face like Gu Xu one day, they would probably be scared into nightmares, thinking that they must have done something wrong and annoyed the Si Shou.
Soon, only Gu Xu and Luo Chuan were left in the small attic.
Luo Chuan pointed to the white jade teapot on the table and said with a smile: "Do you still need tea?" ”
Gu Xu shook his head and politely declined, indicating that there was still tea left in his cup.
It is not difficult to see that Luo Chuan's love for tea is the same as Yan Guogong Zhao Changying likes to drink, Chu Fengge likes to appear in front of people, Shangguan Hibiscus likes good-looking clothes and rouge, and Shi Xiaohan likes food.
Every time he poured Gu Xu's tea, there were slight differences in taste, the color of the soup was either emerald green or amber, but they were all bright and fresh, clear and transparent, and looked like excellent texture, which was undoubtedly a precious tea in the territory of the Great Qi Dynasty.
I don't know how many kinds of tea he has collected in private.
"Gu Xiaoyou, I actually have a total of two questions I want to talk to you about about the trial in this 'Old Teapot'," Luo Chuan paused, and then said, "The 'beware of your own clan' mentioned just now is one of them. The other one, can you guess? ”
Gu Xu thought for a moment, thought of the "Yelang Country Lord" surrounded by a hundred ghosts, and guessed: "Another question...... Is it how we should deal with an enemy who is much stronger than ourselves? ”
"No," Luo Chuan smiled and shook his head, "how to make good use of his companions." ”
"Make good use of your companions?" Gu Xu frowned slightly.
"Everyone has their own areas of expertise, and they will also have abilities or character flaws," Luo Chuan explained, "Perhaps, when you were an official in Yishui County, most of the ghost killing tasks were completed by yourself.
"But as you progress through your cultivation and official ranks, you will face more and more powerful goblins in the future, and most of the time you will need to act with your companions.
"In such a situation, you have to get to know each of your companions in a comprehensive way, and then put the right person in the right place to be able to get the most out of him.
"For example, Chu Fengge, he has excellent talent, strong true yuan, and his cultivation realm is far ahead of his peers, and he also has rare and powerful supernatural powers like 'wild grass', but his fighting style is relatively simple, and his temperament is impatient and aggressive, he is keen to show off in front of his colleagues, and he lacks meticulous consideration in doing things.
"A man like him, if he can suppress his arrogance, he will be a good fighter, a fierce general who can break through the enemy's formation, but it will be difficult to be a boss on his own, he will not be able to be a boss on one side. If you give him too much trust, he's bound to get into trouble. ”
Speaking of this, Luo Chuan shook his head lightly and showed a "you know" expression towards Gu Xu.
Then he took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and continued: "Another example is Shangguan Jin, her cultivation qualifications are not particularly outstanding, and her comprehension can only be regarded as an upper-middle level among the geniuses in Luojing City. However, in terms of the degree of effort, there should be few people in the entire Luojing City who can compare to her...... Of course, Gu Xiaoyou, you can definitely be regarded as one of them.
"And she has a lot of tricks at her disposal, like poison and curses...... She is willing to learn these unpopular things.
"Maybe it's because of what happened to her when she was young, she can do whatever it takes to achieve her goals - she will be opportunistic, she will take advantage of others, she will say a lot of nice things in front of you to gain your favor and trust.
In addition, although she seems to be well-behaved and easy-going, she rarely actually really approves of a person – especially her superiors. Unless you're good enough to hold her down...... Otherwise, she will be like a wild cat picked up from outside, ostensibly obedient to you, but in fact she just wants to secretly plot to kill you and then turn over and become the master.
"Thankfully, Gu Xiaoyou, she admires you very much now. You are safe for the time being. ”
As he spoke, Luo Sishou glanced at Gu Xu with a smile, took a sip of tea, and continued: "A person like her, if she can really convince her, she will become a capable assistant, an excellent staff, and a sharp sword in the dark, able to do things for you that are inconvenient for you to do in person...... However, you have to remember that she is better suited to being in the shadows than being in the sun. ”
Gu Xu held the teacup and listened to Luo Chuan's words silently.
The heat rose from the cup, condensing into a white mist in the cold weather, blurring his vision slightly.
He felt that Luo Chuan's words did not seem to be discussing with himself the trial of "reminiscing about the old pot", or discussing the cooperative relationship between colleagues.
It's more like standing in the perspective of a superior person to understand how to know people well.
If the word "companion" in his words is replaced by "subordinate", there is no sense of disobedience at all, and it is even more appropriate.
"Could it be that because of my outstanding talent, the head of Luo Si wants to train me to be his successor?" Gu Xu's mind popped up with such a guess, "So today I took this opportunity to teach me the legendary 'way of employing people'?" ”
Gu Xu doesn't have any interest in taking charge of the Exorcism Division at the moment.
His dream now is to cultivate above the seventh realm as soon as possible, find out and solve the empty Xuansan people hidden in the shadows, and then marry a wife and have children, and become a happy rich idler; If necessary, protect the peace of the party and protect the people around you from ghosts.
Because of this, he remained silent while Luo Chuan was speaking.
After Luo Chuan finished speaking, Gu Xu thought for a few seconds, and then asked in a not very serious tone: "Then Lord Si Shou, what kind of person am I in your eyes?" ”
Luo Chuan glanced at his eyes, then looked down at the white jade teapot on the table, smiled and replied, "I don't think I'm qualified to make such an evaluation now." ”
At this time, he suddenly saw that Chu Fengge and Shangguan Jin's empty teacups were still on the table—during the time just now, neither of them had the courage to pick up the teapot and pour tea for themselves.
So, Luo Chuan waved his sleeves lightly, and the two empty teacups disappeared from the table out of thin air.
Then, with a thought in his mind, he conjured up two old pamphlets out of thin air, and then handed them to Gu Xu with both hands.
"Gu Xiaoyou, this is a good thing specially prepared for you," he smiled faintly, "Please take a look." ”
Gu Xu reached out and took the booklet.
He had heard Shangguan Jian say this morning that as long as he passed the trial, he would be able to get a reward from the head of the Luo Division—the content of the reward would be something that each of them wanted very much.
Gu Xu first looked at the first booklet and found a line of scribbled handwriting on it: "About how to learn the second form of the Seven Styles of Burning the Sky - 'Bright Candle'." ”
This booklet is a notebook written by the Great Qi National Master and his junior disciple He Yiqun after learning the second form of the "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven" pioneered by Chiyangzi - they want to use their own experience to help future generations understand the true meaning of the obscure avenue in "The Seven Styles of Burning Heaven".
Of course, after reading this notebook, most people still can't understand the "Seven Styles of Burning the Sky", and they are even more confused and confused.
"But Gu Xiaoyou, you are different from them. I believe that with your understanding, you only need a little mention from your predecessors to see the blue sky immediately.
"So I personally think it should help you somewhat."
Gu Xu nodded and sincerely thanked Luo Sitou.
Prior to this, it took him less than a night to master the first form of "Fireflies" in the Seven Styles of Burning Heaven. At that time, his terrifying learning speed and unimaginable terrifying understanding shocked Chiyangzi's apprentice He Yiqun.
But while learning the second form of "bright candle", his comprehension progress suddenly stagnated.
He spent some time thinking about the true meaning of the Great Dao, but he couldn't get a result.
In order to avoid delaying his cultivation, he put aside the Seven Styles of Burning the Sky for the time being, and focused on improving his cultivation. When you come across a suitable opportunity in the future, when you have relevant inspiration in your head, you will open it again and think about it carefully.
Until today.
When he saw the notebook, he suddenly felt that he might be able to find the answer he was looking for.
