"Don't dare. Mr. Xie happens to know the trick. Look, sir, the buds and leaves of this tea are delicate, green and fragrant. The leaves are of good quality and not damaged or blackened at all. This tea picker is very skilled."
Ming Laochao looked at the bottom of the bowl and found that it was exactly the same.
Xie Fu said: "Tea is good tea, but the way you eat it is a waste of natural resources."
Ming Lao was surprised: "Does Mr. Xie have a better way to eat it?"
Xie Fu said: "This is ripe tea that cannot be boiled. It needs to be soaked. Once the boiling water is passed, then drink it slowly..."
The two of them changed their eating methods and exchanged tea ceremony experiences. Only then did Ming Lao, a regular tea drinker, realize that he was ignorant.
In fact, this way of eating is not widely spread, so it is reasonable for Ming and old people not to know.
While chatting, Mr. Ming suddenly asked: "Master Xie, do you know about Confucianism?"
Fu Xie was surprised when he heard this. He learned from his master Chu Yue that Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism were the three major martial arts forces in the world. The Taoism sects were originally one lineage, but later they diverged and were divided into three sects: Heaven, Earth and Xuan.
And Shimen respects the nine temples in the world.
Among them, the one with the most complicated branches and leaves is the Confucian sect. Although it has the same origin as the Confucian sect, the previous Confucian sages founded the sect, and each has its own sect.
Nowadays, Confucianism can be said to be flourishing, or it can be said to be falling apart. It is no longer a whole.
Of course, these differences are all factional differences due to their origins, and ultimately they have to return to martial arts.
Just like painting can be divided into southern and northern schools, in the end one has to return to painting techniques.
Mr. Ming was just thinking of a topic, but when he saw Xie Fu's expression, he seemed to know something.
Generally speaking, to people in the market and streets, martial arts practitioners are outsiders, and ordinary people do not have a deep understanding of martial arts practitioners.
A person in martial arts is like a hand behind your back, not visible to others, but secretly affecting all aspects.
Ming Lao asked again: "Does Mr. Xie know about Confucianism?"
Xie Fu said: "I have heard it briefly, sir, please explain it in detail."
"Confucianism has a long history and originated from Confucianism."
Ming Lao stopped and turned to Master Xie and asked, "Does Mr. Xie know about Confucianism?"
Xie Fu, who is considered a well-read man, responded: "The origin of Confucianism is unknown. According to historical records, it can be traced back to the Shang and Zhou dynasties. The Confucian priests of the Shang and Zhou dynasties took their duties as knowing astronomy and drought, praying for rain, attending to funerals, and worshiping gods.
With the changes of history and the changing of dynasties, Confucian culture has survived with a weak force."
Mr. Ming nodded, "Thank you, Mr. Master, for being knowledgeable. This will save me a lot of trouble."
He continued: "Confucian culture is huge and complex. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius took Confucian rituals and music and founded Confucianism."
Xie Fu then said: "Confucius himself once said - I and history, wizards and witches traveled the same journey but ended up in different places."
Mr. Ming nodded in approval: "Master Xie, can you understand the meaning of this sentence?"
Xie Fu said: "Wansheng thinks that what Confucius meant by this sentence is probably to seek virtue and seek skills."
Mr. Ming nodded and listened to Xie Fu continue.
"Wan Sheng believes that what Confucianism teaches is to explore the mysteries of heaven and earth, thereby understanding the magical meaning of numbers, and then learning and applying them becomes skills."
"If you only know the meaning of numbers but don't understand the virtues of numbers, that's just history and witchcraft."
Mr. Ming nodded: "Confucius took Confucianism to be in line with the virtues of heaven and earth, taught the world through Confucian rituals and music, and then founded Confucianism."
"This Confucianism is the skill of Confucianism. The martial arts of Confucianism is beyond the skills that ordinary people can recognize."
Having said this, Ming Laopo looked at Fu Xie meaningfully, as if asking, are you interested in Confucian techniques and Confucian martial arts?
Xie Fu cupped his hands and said in a deep voice: "Sir, I will tell you the truth. I devoted myself to pursuing martial arts in my late life, but I was unable to do anything. Please give me some advice, sir?"
Ming Lao smiled and said, "Martial arts is a way of natural selection. Most people are excluded from the moment they are born. Only a small number of people are chosen by heaven and earth. People who have the talent to practice martial arts will be divided into four classes in future generations.
The fourth level is [Talented Person], whose body is barely enough to enter the martial arts.
The third class [genius] has excellent physical and mental acuity. The second class is [gifted person], who has excellent physical and mental agility. The first class [those given by heaven].”
Master Xie nodded. He had already understood this talent difference from his master. He did not disturb him and listened quietly to what Ming Lao continued.
"There are already very few people with second-class natural talents in the world, and they are extremely difficult to find. This first-class gifted person is even rarer in ten thousand. It is given by God, and it is given by God. Although Mr. Xie has the appearance of entering the martial arts, he is the second-class gifted person.
A fourth-level talent, with your talent, even if you intend to enter the martial arts, you will do nothing throughout your life, and in the end you will be nothing more than an ant driven by others."
Mr. Xie remembered that his master once said that qualifications are destined since birth. Tigers are tigers and sheep are sheep. This is fate! He once said that he could change his destiny, but the master laughed at him for talking nonsense.
"Sir, this is exactly the case. Although I am a late student, I work hard and practice day and night, but my talent is too low and my progress is slow. I don't know when I will be able to enter the first grade."
Ming Lao nodded and said with a smile: "With your qualifications, twenty years of attaining the rank is already the culmination. But why is it difficult to enter the rank? Even if it is to enter the Tao, why is it so difficult?"
When Xie Fu heard this, his blood suddenly boiled with excitement. He stood up suddenly and bowed to the end: "Sir, please give me some advice."
"Thank you, sir, please get up."
But Master Xie cannot afford to bow. God knows his desire for martial arts. The master is still waiting for him, and the master's great revenge is still waiting for him to avenge him.
And his enemies are Duanmu Ci, the Taoist Master of the Dao Sect Tianzong, Yun Ruishui of the Penglai Xianmen Sect, and Feng Tianbai, the leader of the Leiyuan Sect.
These three people are all Taoist masters and supreme martial arts masters.
Based on his current situation, not to mention dealing with three people, even their disciples can easily crush him to death like an ant.
Ming Lao stood up, walked over, and helped Xie Fu up: "Mr. Xie, I do have a secret method that is unknown to everyone and can help you reach the pinnacle of martial arts and become a veritable co-master of the Confucian sect, and I am willing to teach it to you.
"
"I sincerely ask you to teach me sir."
Ming Lao chuckled: "Although it is a secret method, it can only change your destiny against the will of nature. It cannot be achieved overnight. It still requires your efforts."
Xie Fu said sincerely: "Xie Fu must be attentive and will never let you down."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Before that, I have to give you one last test."
"Sir, please speak!"
"Take a month to make Tantai Heqing of Tantai Mansion fall in love with you and bring her to me."
Xie Fu was surprised when he heard this. He thought it was childish. What kind of test is this? What does it have to do with martial arts? Could it be that Mr. Ming wanted to test my perseverance.
Mr. Ming smiled and said: "If you don't know who I am talking about, you must have heard of Mrs. Xiaohe's name."
Fu Xie didn't expect Mr. Ming to be so gossipy, so he nodded and said, "I know who you are talking about."
Ming Lao said lightly: "I know it is very difficult for a woman like Tantai Heqing to fall in love with you within a month, but this is not a child's play." Probably no one knows better than him except Tantai Heqing himself.
Tantai Crane Love.
Xie Fu smiled bitterly, "What I pursue is martial arts, sir, but you gave me the whole relationship between men and women. I don't want to be a love saint, so I still said: "I will bring Miss Tantai here tomorrow, okay?"
Ming Lao was stunned when he heard this. I told you I was serious, but you took my words as a joke and reminded you: "Don't use force or coaxing."
"No need to force or cajole."
Ming Lao reminded again: "She must fall in love with you."
"Um...that should work."
"Thank you, Mr. Xie, I'm not kidding you."
"I'm not kidding either."
"one day?"
"one day!"
Ming Lao seemed to be angry, "If you can do it in one day, I will worship you..."
Xie Fu immediately interrupted Mr. Ming and said, "Sir, I will visit again tomorrow. I'll take my leave now."
Xie Fu left and did not go back home immediately. Instead, he visited the pharmacies in Suzhou.
He was looking for a strange medicine called Dizhi to treat Tantai Heqing's stubborn cough.
I just searched several pharmacies but couldn't find it. Most of the pharmacies' shopkeepers have never even heard of the name "dizhi".
Some shopkeepers who are more knowledgeable say that they have heard of the strange medicine called Dizhi. However, this strange medicine is rare and rare in the world. It is hard to find a lot of money. Even if it exists, it will only exist in the families of emperors and powerful people. How can it be circulated in the market?
.
What he said made sense, but Xie Fu still wanted to try his luck and searched many pharmacies until it got dark before returning with no success.
…
Early the next morning, Xie Fu took Tantai Heqing to Taiping Primary School and said he wanted to take her to meet someone.
Tantai Heqing was no idler. Although he had something to do, it was nothing as big as Xie Fu's, so he followed Xie Fu.
After walking for a while, Tantai Heqing saw Xie Fu taking her into the small house next to Taiping Primary School. She looked surprised and looked towards Xie Fu to see if he knew anything.
Xie Fu was in high spirits and did not notice Tantai Heqing's expression. He shouted loudly: "Mr. Ming."
After a while, Mr. Ming walked out of the house and saw that Fu Xie had really brought Tantai Heqing over, his expression looked shocked.
At this time, Tantai Heqing was a little shy and pulled back the little hand held by Xie Fu, and called Mr. Ming softly "Father".
Marriage events were originally presided over by her parents, but now her adoptive father is her elder relative. Did Xie Fu bring her here to express herself in front of her elders?
No matter how happy they are in love, they have made a private lifelong commitment, and it can be considered official in front of their relatives and elders.
She didn't know how Xie Fu learned that Mr. Ming was her adoptive father. Originally, she had planned to ask her adoptive father to come over and give Xie Fu his name on the day of thanking Fu Guanli, and at the same time introduce her adoptive father to Xie Fu.
Foster father? Xie Fu was a little confused for a moment.
After Ming Lao was shocked, he was still a little confused, "He Qing, this..."
Tantai Heqing bowed her head slightly, but she didn't answer. The little woman's emotion was revealed on her face.
Ming Lao said to Xie Fu: "Kiss her." He didn't know why he made such a request, probably to prove their relationship.
Bo~
Xie Fu gave Tantai Heqing a heavy kiss on the face.
Ah, Tantai Heqing was immediately panicked and resentful. Xie Fu was a little shy to secretly kiss her in private, let alone in front of relatives and elders.
