"Yes!"

Behind Teng Qilong, the two entourages known as Wu Da Wu Er responded to the promise and stepped forward with expressionless faces.

A group of homeless people who were originally cowering in the corner were suddenly frightened, and the leading man saw that Teng Qilong and his party were not easy to provoke, so he immediately knelt down and begged:

"Here, this lord, please be good, let us stay here for the night!"

Teng Qilong didn't bother to look at him, and said indifferently:

"Throw me farther away, don't affect my rest at night!"

As he spoke, it seemed that there were not people in front of him, but a dozen dirty stray dogs, all of which were disgusted.

The four powerful retinues behind him got the order, and they stepped forward one after another, grabbing several homeless people like chickens with one hand, and were about to throw them outside.

It's cold and snowy outside, and without this post station to shelter from the wind and cold, ordinary people will inevitably freeze to death.

Lao Tzu stated at the beginning of the Tao Te Ching: "Tao, Tao, very Tao." Name, name, name. None, the beginning of the world; Yes, the mother of all things. Therefore, there is always nothing, and I want to see its wonders; Often, I want to see it. These two have the same name and different names, and they are the same mysteries. Mysterious and mysterious, the door of all wonders. This is Lao Tzu's general description of the concept of "Tao": Tao is not the general Tao of the society at that time, that is, the way of human ethics and common sense, nor is it the way that people can name at that time. "Dao" has transcended secular social life in Lao Tzu, and is closer to the Tao of natural law, because the origin and mother source of all things in heaven and earth lies in "Dao", starting from Dao, "Tao gives birth to one, life to two, two to three, and three to all things". Therefore, Lao Tzu used "Xuan Zhi and Xuan" to describe the particularity and profundity of the Tao, but in fact, although this "Dao" is "seen and seen", "listened to and heard", and "touched and obtained", but Lao Tzu's way is not far away, here is just Lao Tzu used "Xuan" to emphasize the difference between what he said and what the society said at that time, and expounded the transcendence and foundation of his way.

Therefore, Lao Tzu said frankly in the later discussion, "My words are very easy to know, very easy to do, and people can know it, and Mo can do it." Lao Tzu sighed with emotion: "Those who know me hope that I am noble." It is a saint who is brown and jade. ”

Lao Tzu's "Tao" is "something is mixed, born from nature." Xiao He, Xiao He, independent and unrelenting, can be the mother of heaven and earth. I don't know its name, but the word is the way. The name of the strong is great. "This sentence means that before the creation of heaven and earth, there were chaotic objects in the universe, which were silent, vast and boundless, helpless and unchanging, and it was the mother who nurtured all things." I" - Lao Tzu didn't know its name, so he reluctantly called it "Dao" and named it "Great".

From this, we know that the Tao spoken by Lao Tzu is first of all material, and is the original power source for the generation of all things in heaven and earth, and its existence is independent and immeasurable, and has infinity. Lao Tzu himself could not give an exact description of the power of "Dao", so he believed that Dao was only an expedient name.

The characteristics of the Tao: Lao Tzu said, "The Tao is chong, and the use of it has Fu Ying." "The Tao body seems to be empty and real, so the body contains inexhaustible matter and energy, but it does not overflow due to complacency. Lao Tzu believes that the Taoist body is soft but not rigid, the interior is simple, the exterior is simple and unpretentious, and it is clear and transparent, and it exists between heaven and earth. Therefore, the Tao is everywhere, whether it is an individual or a human society, including all things in heaven and earth, they should follow the Tao, and the Tao is natural, returning to the basics. The literal interpretation of "nature" here is that it is the same, but the Tao and the laws of nature are the same, that is, the "four major countries in the country" should imitate the characteristics of nature in doing nothing and doing nothing, so as to maintain their own "eternity".

Lao Tzu was in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty society at that time, the princes and countries were reckless, wars were frequent, and the etiquette and ethics of the society could not be restored, so Lao Tzu saw through the reason why the human society was in contention was caused by the sage, etiquette, decrees, desires, wisdom and other promising measures, and it was precisely because the society valued fame, strength, competitiveness and other honors, so there would be a dispute for the possession of limited resources in the world. Therefore, Lao Tzu proposed to return to nature and conform to the laws of the natural world of inaction and pure wisdom, so as to defend the weak and defeat the strong, and achieve a peaceful life of small countries and widows. ”[11]

2. "Virtue"

"Virtue" is the development and manifestation of "Tao" in the realm of ethics, so the entry from Tao to virtue is a barrier between the natural order and the social order, that is, to discuss the norms of human behavior. Both virtue and law are restraining forces that regulate society and human behavior, but they have different statuses in Lao Tzu. Lao Tzu believes that the essence of virtue and the essence of the Tao are the same, so the virtue of virtue originates from the "Tao". The virtue that Lao Tzu said is also different from the virtue that ordinary people say. Chapter 38 contains: "To be virtuous is to be virtuous; Virtue is not lost, but there is no virtue. The upper virtue does nothing and does nothing, and the lower virtue has to do it; Shangren did not do anything for it; The righteousness is for it; If you don't respond to it, you throw it with your arms crossed. Therefore, the loss of morality and then the loss of morality, the loss of virtue and then the loss of benevolence, the loss of benevolence and then the loss of righteousness, and the loss of righteousness and then the loss of rudeness. ”

Lao Tzu believes that Shangde advocates doing nothing and conforming to nature, with obvious characteristics of "non-action", which can be understood as following the natural code of conduct. This kind of virtue that follows nature values life, ignores fame and fortune, keeps quiet, quits greed, stops doing things, realizes the four realms, and naturally does nothing, and at the same time takes the hearts of the people as the heart, integrates itself with nature, and finally returns to the Tao. Xiade is composed of benevolence, righteousness and etiquette, which needs to be implemented and promoted by people, with obvious "promising" characteristics, and pays attention to human behavioral norms. It can be seen from here that in the eyes of Lao Tzu, the benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith promoted by Confucius are only the result of artificial education, and they have not reached the realm of true non-action and transcendence, so they are degraded to lower virtues. The state of non-action of virtue is contrary to the nature of the law itself, which needs to be formulated by the state, intervened by the state, and made public to the world, so the law is only the category of the lower virtue. However, in Xiade, the law is different from benevolence, righteousness, and propriety, and Lao Tzu did not include the law in the scope of discussion of Xiade, and it seems that it can be concluded that Lao Tzu believes that benevolence, righteousness and propriety are higher than the law, and the law is just a kind of instrument for governing the country.

There is a difference between the virtue of Lao Tzu and the virtue of Confucius, and it is also different from "etiquette", but the secular law and the ritual law are inextricably linked. In Lao Tzu's view, Confucius's virtue belongs to the category of "lower virtue", which belongs to the field of artificial norms, while Lao Tzu believes that upper virtue is manifested in inaction, that is, it does not consider the question of virtue and immorality, but is the greatest virtue.

"Wait!"

Chang Qing and the others stopped talking and didn't dare to speak, but Chen Zheng stood up and looked coldly:

"Inspector Teng, it's more than a dozen lives, there's not a lot of space here, it's okay to let them rest here for a night, haven't you noticed that their charcoal and dry food are all given by me?"

As soon as Chen Zheng's words fell, the two pretty maids dressed as men next to Teng Qilong had frosty faces, and opened their mouths to scold:

"Presumptuous, how dare you ...... with your son like this"

"You two, don't be unreasonable."

Teng Qilong raised his eyebrows, changed the way others knew, looked at Chen Zheng and said with a smile:

"I said, where did this group of mud legs come from to eat, it turned out that Inspector Chen gave it, so kind-hearted, I Teng Qilong naturally have to give face, just let them stay here for one night."

As he spoke, he gestured with his gaze, and the four attendants immediately left the homeless man who was powerless in his hands.

Teng Qilong did not have a seizure but retreated, which is undoubtedly extremely abnormal.

Thinking that the two were going to clash, Chai Tiefeng, Changqing and others, who were full of nervousness, suddenly looked at each other.

Chen Zheng also frowned slightly, didn't say much, nodded slightly and sat down.

More than a dozen displaced people are like being amnesty, kowtowing like pounding garlic:

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, ......"

Teng Qilong sneered, ignored it, and immediately led people in and began to settle down.

Under the reprimand of the two maids, the homeless people panicked and gave up the most sheltered position, and cleaned up the area, and carried out the corpses of their companions who had been frozen to death.

At the same time, the four attendants unloaded a large pile of miscellaneous things from the horses outside, and arranged them in a short time.

I saw a fine wool carpet one foot square spread on the ground, and then on the carpet, a tent made of tiger skins was set up, and a simple barbecue rack and stove were also propped up.

The two maids boiled water to make tea, and took out a few wrapped leg of mutton and began to roast, and boiled mutton soup with mutton bones, and also accompanied by fruits and vegetables and medicinal materials such as mountain ginseng and deer antlers.

Fuck ......

Looking at such a luxurious pomp in the ice and snow, Chai Tiefeng and the others were full of envy, while Chen Zheng was watching coldly, unhappy in his heart.

As for the homeless people who were hiding in the corners, they didn't dare to eat more dry food in their hands, and they were also swallowing saliva at the moment.

After a while, when it was completely dark outside, the two maids quickly tested the roasted golden leg of mutton, then carefully shaved the meat, served it with fruit and vegetable mutton soup, and carried a jar of wine, brought it to the delicate small table in front of the tent, and said coquettishly:

"Childe, you can eat, the conditions here are simple, you can see if it suits your taste."

Teng Qilong opened the tent and came out and sat down.

Two maids served him, poured warm wine, and picked up a piece of mutton and put it into his mouth.

"Yes, the ice and snow, the roasted mutton can be regarded as a unique flavor."

Teng Qilong nodded, looked at Chen Zheng, smiled, and raised his glass:

"Inspector Chen, it's cold and snowy, and the wind is biting, why don't you come and have a drink with me?"

Well?

The other party first gave in and sold it, and now he opened his mouth to invite him, Chen Zheng's eyes narrowed,

"If you don't drink well, I'm afraid I'm going to live up to the good intentions of Inspector Teng"

Teng Qilong, who was rejected, was not annoyed, and said:

"My yellow sorghum dream is brewed by my own family, the main ingredients are hundred-year-old ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, no one in the entire Lingqiu County can drink it except Teng's, go all the way, invite each other to drink together, Inspector Chen won't even give this face, right?"

Becoming more and more curious about what kind of medicine was sold in the other party's gourd, Chen Zheng's eyes flashed, and he nodded:

"Okay, I'd like to try it."

As he spoke, he got up and came to the tent and sat opposite Teng Qilong.

There is no need to instruct, the maids on the left and right immediately pour wine, even a small wine glass is inlaid with gold and jade, which is very noble.

Teng Qilong raised his wine glass and smiled: "Please." ”

Chen Zheng calmly raised his wine glass, took a sip, and then nodded:

"Yes, good wine!"

Of course, he didn't taste the wine at all, he just moistened his lips.

If the other party has no friendship and the intention is unclear, a fool will drink it defenselessly.

Teng Qilong didn't seem to notice Chen Zheng's defense, pointed to the mutton on the plate, and said with a smile:

"This is the big Yantan lamb from March to June, take the receding part, and feed it with fine corn, melons, fruits and seafood since I was a child, it is delicious, I love to eat it since I was a child, and Inspector Chen can taste it."

Chen Zheng didn't look at the mutton on the plate, and said:

"Teng Inspector invited, shouldn't it be as simple as drinking and eating meat together? If anything, say it directly. ”

"Good!"

Teng Qilong laughed, but suddenly lowered his voice:

"Inspector Chen is really fast-talking, so I won't go around in circles. I heard people say that at the birthday banquet of Lei Yunting's predecessors, you forced the master who came to provoke with a non-bad King Kong with a red bronze body, but is there such a thing? ”

Well?

Chen Zheng's eyes narrowed:

"Yes, it does. What do you have to say? ”

Teng Qilong smiled:

"It's not a secret, I'm very interested in the well-known practice of the Bad Vajra, and I've been collecting it for a while, but all the things I get are incomplete, I don't know what level of the Bad King Kong you have inherited, what is the highest realm?"

It turned out to be this purpose......

Teng Qilong's abnormality was suddenly explained, Chen Zheng's thoughts flashed, and then he pretended to move:

"It's a pity, what I got is not bad, and the vajra is also a remnant, only the cultivation methods of the two levels of Xuantie and red copper, I don't know what level the cheats in the hands of Inspector Teng can go?"

When Teng Qilong heard this, he seemed to be suspicious, and said slowly:

"What I have obtained is not bad Vajra cheats, and it is only the two levels of Xuantie and Red Bronze, and it is precisely because of this that I have not cultivated for a long time. If Inspector Chen has a follow-up level of this exercise, I am willing to spend a lot of money to buy it, and you can make a price. ”

Chen Zheng said with a regretful face:

"That's a pity, I really only have the first two levels of cultivation methods, if Inspector Teng is interested, as long as five thousand gold baht, I can copy a copy for you, compare and verify, how about it?"

Hearing this, it was determined that Chen Zheng really didn't seem to have a follow-up cultivation method, and Teng Qilong's face suddenly turned cold:

"No need, I also have the first two cultivation methods."

After speaking, he poured himself a drink, and the atmosphere was suddenly cold.

Chen Zheng was naturally not interested in staying with this second ancestor for long, so he shrugged his shoulders and got up to say goodbye.

He naturally has the whole book of King Kong, but it is naturally impossible to give Teng Qilong such a thing.
