Chapter 47: Insight
"Help!"
"Murdered!"
"It's out of the water!"
Along the way, Chen Yun kept asking for help, and he almost didn't shout "kill the pig".
However, there was no use for any eggs, and those peddlers, pawns, and pedestrians and shopkeepers all seemed to have fallen into the evil spirit, not only did no one hear the shouts, as if they couldn't even see a few strong men holding Chen Yun up with great fanfare.
Jin Qiaoqiao, who was walking in front, didn't look back, just laughed teasingly: "Shout, shout and break your throat, no one will come to save you, how powerful my Jin family is in the Qin State, I think who dares to care about this idle matter in Xigou City!" ”
Nima!
How great is the power?
Chen Yun almost wanted to curse.
But when he thought about it, it was really great to have power in the world.
Perhaps knowing that shouting was useless, Chen Yun simply stopped wasting his physical strength and shouted for help over there.
No, as soon as he was free, he had time to ponder today's events.
At first, because he was so anxious, he just thought it was strange and didn't think about the details.
It's just that as he got closer and closer to the Golden Mansion, the population became sparse, and when he knew that shouting was useless, his head gradually calmed down.
He felt that today was really strange.
On weekdays, when the things of the preaching temple are used up, they often ask Senior Brother Ning to go down the mountain to buy materials.
As soon as Cai Rujin came to the talisman hall today, he didn't even check it before he knew that the vermilion ink and yellow paper were exhausted, and then he sent himself down the mountain to buy it?
What's even more strange is that as soon as I got off the mountain, I encountered a reckless man and a beggar arguing.
If you hide across the street, the beggar can pounce?
Thinking back on these things, Chen Yun only felt that something was not quite right, and he was not completely sure of the clues.
However, the appearance of Jin Qiaoqiao is really too doubtful.
Chen Yun had long sensed that something was wrong with Jin Qiaoqiao.
Even thinking of what the two husbands said, he once suspected that Jin Qiaoqiao was a demon.
It's just that when I think about it calmly at this moment, Jin Qiaoqiao's first appearance seems to be more than ten or twenty days earlier than the demon in Xigou City.
Could it be that Jin Qiaoqiao is not a demon?
I was wrong in my previous guesses?
So why is Jin Qiaoqiao so abnormal, constantly looking for opportunities to get close to herself?
A story that had been circulating in Taoism for a long time in his previous life suddenly popped up in Chen Yun's mind: Zhong Liquan tried Lu Dongbin ten times.
Could it be that Jin Qiaoqiao was transformed by Zhong Liquan?
He thought it was highly likely.
Because Zhong Liquan seems to have a habit of role-playing, otherwise he would not have tried Lu Dongbin ten times.
When I thought of my previous heart, I almost hugged Jin Qiaoqiao.
Chen Yun couldn't help but feel a chill.
But if you think about it, it's wrong.
After all, Jin Qiaoqiao appeared a few times ago, and Zhong Liquan was still in the fairyland.
So what's going on?
Chen Yun couldn't sort out his thoughts for a while.
Two things are certain, though.
If Jin Qiaoqiao is not a demon, he should be harmless to himself.
Moreover, it has to do with the Missionary Philosophy.
……
The group walked to the Golden Mansion.
Chen Yun was held high all the time, and he could only see the scene in the sky, and he didn't pay attention to the situation of the Jin Mansion at all.
It took a few turns and passed through three or four garden corridors.
Finally, I came to the main hall.
Jin Qiaoqiao asked the two family members to tie Chen Yun to the chair, and then waved his hand and said, "You guys go out first, please come over to my father." ”
"Yes, Miss Qiao."
"I'll go out first."
Four or five of them turned and left.
Only then was Chen Yun able to see his surroundings clearly.
The entrance is facing the celadon slab wall.
In front of the board wall, there is a long table, in front of which is a square table of eight immortals, a Taishi chair with armrests on the left and right sides, and a row of chairs on the east and west sides.
In the middle of the wall hangs calligraphy and paintings in the middle of the hall.
There is also a pair of couplets on both sides of the calligraphy and painting:
The rain is heavy, and the grass without roots is not moistened.
The law is wide, and only those who are destined to cross it.
Chen Yun remembered that this couplet was from the forty-first chapter of "Lao Tzu".
Roughly speaking, although the rain is heavy, it cannot moisten the rootless grass; The Tao is lenient, but it can't guide those who don't have a chance.
In short, even the best opportunities are for those who are prepared and enterprising.
It is not inappropriate for a large family to hang such an aphorism.
However, Chen Yun still found the clue.
Because the banners on both sides of the wall, although they are all calligraphy and paintings of celebrities, the content is mostly Taoist self-cultivation maxims.
For example, the Zhuangzi. Extra. "Heaven and Earth are great, but they are even; Although there are many things, they govern one".
Another example is "Liezi. "Seeing out to know in, looking at the past to know the future".
There are many similar aphorisms.
Chen Yun took a closer look.
In addition to a large number of Taoist aphorisms, there are only a few Confucian aphorisms.
On the contrary, the fundamental Legalist thought of the founding of the Qin Dynasty has not been seen.
If the Jin family is really the noble of the Qin State, this is obviously unreasonable!
He felt that the owner of this room was a little disgusted with Legalist thoughts.
Why?
Legalism absorbed Taoist doctrine and ideas, so it is normal for Legalists not to reject Taoism.
What about the attitude of Taoism towards Legalism?
As far as Chen Yun knew, Taoists had never had a good face towards Legalism.
The main reason for this stems from the fact that before Han Feizi, Legalism advocated the rule of law by law, believing that human nature is inherently evil, and only by using fixed laws and authorities can the world be governed.
Taoism, on the other hand, does not advocate the rule of law by law, but advocates going with the flow and doing nothing.
"The two walls of the Xungui Hall of the Qin Dynasty are full of Taoist ideological aphorisms, but there is not a single Legalist aphorism?"
Chen Yun seemed to be sure of something, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up slightly, and his heart said, "Interesting, interesting." ”
He was seventy or eighty percent sure that the owner of this room was a true Taoist thinker.
Otherwise, as a Qin person, it is impossible to hang banners in the house without the maxims of Legalist thought.
This kind of dislike for Legalism in the bones cannot be disguised.
Maybe it was noticing his smile.
Jin Qiaoqiao, who was sitting on the right side of the Taishi chair in front of him, blinked and asked, "Daochang Chen, now that you are fish and meat, and I am a sword, you still have the leisure to laugh?" ”
Chen Yun hurriedly restrained his smile and said calmly: "Miss Qiao, you are just a long-term work of preaching and contemplating the temple, you are the daughter of my Qin State Golden Mansion, the gap between you and me is like a cloud of mud, why do you want to fall into the flowers and be ruthless?" ”
"The falling flowers are intentional, and the flowing water is ruthless?" Jin Qiaoqiao repeated it.
She suddenly squinted her eyes and smiled: "This person is also interesting, such a philosophy can be blurted out, I think he reads poetry and books on weekdays?" ”
The two started a conversation about it.
Chen Yun didn't have any awareness of being "kidnapped" at all, but just chatted with the other party very calmly.
Maybe it's because he comes from the future, has insights beyond the current society, and his words are quite witty, which makes Jin Qiaoqiao laugh more than once.
About seven or eight minutes later.
Two footsteps rang out outside.
Immediately, a middle-aged man wearing a high mountain crown, a green robe, a large belt tied around his waist, a hanging knife, and black square-toed shoes walked in.
Behind him was a middle-aged man dressed as a steward.
As soon as he saw this person, Chen Yun immediately stopped chatting with Jin Qiaoqiao, and instead carefully looked at the middle-aged man dressed as an aristocrat.
Not surprisingly, this person should be Jin Qiaoqiao's father.
He knew that this person was most likely going to see his own master.
Chen Yun wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in Jin Qiaoqiao's gourd.
When Jin Qiaoqiao saw the middle-aged man, he immediately stood up and greeted him, and said affectionately: "Daddy." ”
"What the hell are you doing?" Father Jin reprimanded with a straight face, and said, "You actually tied people back?" You're really lawless! ”
Jin Qiaoqiao didn't seem to be afraid at all, and still said with a smile: "Daddy, this thief bullied me, you treat him for me." ”
"Humph! It's just no rules! ”
Father Jin scolded Jin Qiaoqiao a few more words.
Chen Yun sat there and watched the two perform with interest.
After a while, Father Jin turned his head sideways and said to the steward, "Steward Lin, loosen the tie for this Daoist first." ”
"Yes, Master."
Steward Lin stepped forward to untie the rope for Chen Yun.
Father Jin arched his hand and said, "Dao Chief, the little girl is willful, let you suffer, Jin is deeply sorry." ”
Chen Yun pretended not to know anything, got up and replied, "Mr. Jin doesn't need to be polite, Miss Qiao is playing with me, since there is nothing to do, then I will say goodbye first." ”
With that, he turned to leave.
Chen Yun believed that if Father Jin was really an ordinary Qin Dynasty noble, he should let himself go.
But if the other party has other thoughts, then he will definitely shout to himself.
"The road is long, and slow!" Father Jin shouted to stop him.
Sure enough, Chen Yun was already roughly able to guess eight or nine points in his heart.
He remained silent on the surface, turned to look at Father Jin, and said, "What else is wrong with Mr. Jin?" ”
Father Jin looked at him calmly, and said slowly: "Although Jin Mou teaches that the little girl is willful, but he doesn't say that he is knowledgeable, at least he will not kidnap people indiscriminately, today she tied you to my mansion, there must be some reason for this, my Jin family has been an official in the court since the beginning of the establishment of the Qin State, not everyone can be humiliated, and please sit down for a while, and wait for me to figure out the reason." ”
It's good that Father Jin doesn't say this.
As soon as he said this, Chen Yun was even more sure that the other party was acting.
As far as he knows, there are fifteen main sources of the surname Jin.
Except for the Jin surname from Shaohao Jin Tian's family, the other fourteen pieces only appeared after the Qin Dynasty.
And Chen Yun also knew that the Qin Dynasty did not have a person surnamed Jin as an official.
Naturally, Father Kim was lying.
After coming out of the Great Black Mountain, Chen Yun understood the world very quickly, although it was indeed slightly different from the ancient history of China on Earth, but the general direction of development was similar.
So he felt that the chances of his guess being wrong were almost non-existent.
In other words, Father Jin and Jin Qiaoqiao tied themselves up today, and they must have achieved something.
When I think of it again, it is very likely that Father Jin is a Taoist thinker who is extremely disgusted with Legalist thought.
Chen Yun was probably ninety percent sure that the other party was most likely testing himself.
It's like Zhong Liquan's ten tests of Lu Dongbin's temptation.
Of course, now he is 90% sure, and he is not completely sure.
Since he was sure of the other party's attitude, Chen Yun was no longer worried, he sat back on the chair generously, stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Jin, please ask Miss Qiao." ”
Father Jin bowed slightly: "Well, I'll ask the little girl first." ”
As he spoke, he habitually sat down on the Taishi chair on the left.
Steward Lin stood respectfully behind him.
And Jin Qiaoqiao sat back on the right side of the Taishi chair.
Seeing this, a flash of brilliance flashed in Chen Yun's eyes.
He could finally be completely sure that the other party was indeed not a noble of the Qin Dynasty!
During the Zhou, Qin and Han dynasties, the right was respected, so the royal relatives and nobles called it "right relatives", and the family family called it "right family".
According to the historical trajectory of the current era, although the Qin State is not the suzerain, many of the rules of the pre-Qin State are still followed in the territory of the Qin State.
It is impossible for a normal person for a father to sit on the left and a woman to sit on the right.
On the contrary, Taoism respects the left.
Chen Yun had previously determined that Father Jin and Jin Qiaoqiao were greasy.
It was also judged that Father Jin was most likely a Taoist thinker.
It may also have something to do with the Ecclesiastical Temple.
Now seeing this situation, let's contact with today and what Jin Qiaoqiao did before.
He was 99% sure that the other party was really testing himself!
Before this, Jin Qiaoqiao's temptation may be full of flaws and easy to detect.
Today, Chen Yun has experienced so far, to tell the truth, if it weren't for his keen observation and understanding of some Taoist thoughts, history and culture, ordinary people would really not be able to detect abnormalities.
Although he didn't know which Taoist master was testing him, after all, Chen Yun had previously judged that it was unlikely to be Zhong Liquan, but he believed that the other party was a person from the Taoist Temple.
Since it's your own people who test everything, isn't it just a show of acting?
Yes!
If there is any trick, just come.
It's over if I don't look like it.
Chen Yun was completely relieved and waited for Father Jin to make a move.
