Regarding the scenery, Li Mingyue didn't ask, and the scenery didn't say anything.
For some people, if you don't ask, he won't tell. For some people, if he doesn't want to tell, it's useless if you ask. And Jingjing is between these two kinds of people, so if he wants to tell, Li Mingyue won't even ask.
, he would also say that if Li Mingyue asked, he would also say that Li Mingyue never likes to let others do things they don't like to do. Of course, enemies and enemies are a different matter.
Scenery threw a jar of wine to Li Mingyue, then looked at the wine bottle on Li Mingyue's waist and asked, "Have you put away all those swords?"
Li Mingyue nodded and did not inform Jing Jing of the previous situation.
Scenery retracted her eyes and raised the wine jar at the same time, which was regarded as a toast to Li Mingyue.
Li Mingyue also patted open the mud seal of the wine jar he had just caught, returned the view, and then the two of them drank at the same time.
Scenery seemed to hesitate for a moment, but still raised his hand and threw out a sword, which was the sword of the previous woman.
Li Mingyue took the sword with some doubts.
Jingjing continued: "This sword is not low-grade. I have no use keeping it. I may exchange it for wine money one day, but you are different. Put it in the sword-raising gourd, warm it up every day, and add that
Thirty-six flying swords, like a tiger with wings."
Li Mingyue asked: "What's the story of this sword?"
Scenery was stunned for a moment, and then he instantly understood what Li Mingyue meant, and said with a smile: "There is no sword, but there is a person holding the sword. The person before was considered a disciple of an old friend of mine..."
He didn't say anything further.
Li Mingyue nodded, stopped asking, and put the long sword away. Since the sword had nothing to do with it, he naturally had no reason to refuse.
Jingjing continued: "You have taken good care of your sword, so it is not my turn to tell you how to take care of it."
Li Mingyue nodded, indicating that she knew how to raise a sword.
Jingjing continued: "We'll just stay here tonight and leave early tomorrow morning. It's impossible for the general who governs the country not to notice such a big movement. It's better to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, he will be in trouble after all when he mobilizes his army.
.”
Li Mingyue asked directly: "What if Haojing mobilizes an army to wait for us?"
Jingjing was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Then you are overthinking. The Tang army cannot be mobilized easily, especially in a place like Haojing. In such a large land as the Tang Dynasty, the vassal kings divided their regimes and sent heavy troops to Beijing.
, Firstly, there needs to be a reason, and secondly, His Majesty the Emperor is not at ease. In short, if you want to deploy troops and generals, it is not something that anyone can solve with just a word, otherwise sixteen years ago..."
He remained silent.
Li Mingyue understood and took a sip of wine, and the scenery also took a sip. Both men were a little sentimental at this moment, one missed his old friend, and the other missed his relatives.
After swallowing the wine, Jingjing continued: "Hao Jing's military strength is enough to deal with all ordinary things, but some extraordinary things are far from enough, such as battles where monks intervene. Therefore, in the royal families of various countries, there will be a
Institutions specifically for monks on the mountain, the Jinyang Empire in the north has the Tianshi Mansion, the Qi Kingdom in the west has the military sage in charge, and the Tang Kingdom originally had an academy, but as Confucianism was suppressed by Taoism,
It was empty for a long time until the Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce emerged, which is now the Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce. So you should know by now what the Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce represents to the Tang Dynasty."
Li Mingyue nodded, feeling a little shocked.
Jing Jing continued: "So when we go to Haojing, neither the army nor the monks will interfere. This is your Li family's own family matter, and no one else will interfere."
He looked at Li Mingyue and continued: "You must know one thing. In Haojing, he can't kill you, and you can't kill him, because to the entire Tang Kingdom, his life is more important than yours. This is also true in Haojing."
Besides, the reason why he can kill you."
Li Mingyue frowned.
Scenery continued: "At least not now."
Li Mingyue asked: "What do you mean?"
Scenery smiled and asked, "What do you think?"
Before Li Mingyue spoke, Huang Qinghan said: "As long as your strength exceeds that of the Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce, isn't that enough?"
Jingfeng was stunned, then he extended a thumbs up to Huang Qinghan and praised: "He is indeed a person who inherits the cultural heritage."
But Li Mingyue only felt bitter in her heart.
Let’s not talk about whether his strength can surpass the Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce. Even if he can, he doesn’t know that he will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse. By then, the emperor may be dead, so will it be difficult for him to dig his grave?
If he takes a step back, even if the other party is still alive at that time, he will have to deal with the entire Kyushu Chamber of Commerce. But the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce is the legacy of his mother after all. Wouldn't it be unfilial and unjust for him to do this?
Scenery continued: "Besides, there is another way."
Li Mingyue said directly: "Am I the emperor?"
Scenery smiled and nodded.
Li Mingyue said bitterly: "Do you think this is possible?"
Scenery shook his head and said: "It's unlikely. Let's not talk about whether you are willing to give up the Tao you are pursuing. Even if you are willing, do you have the ability to be the emperor? Do you have the ability to be the emperor well? It's all a question."
Li Mingyue said: "But revenge must be avenged."
Scenery frowned slightly and looked at Li Mingyue. He didn't speak, but was thinking about something.
After a while, Jingjing still said: "Chen Daoling asked me to bring you a message before, and I think now is the time."
Li Mingyue just looked at the scenery and said nothing.
As soon as Jingfeng raised his hand, the wine in the wine jar flew out, and then condensed into one word out of thin air: "Stable."
Jingjing said: "Stability and urgency."
After the words fell, the word "禾" in the word "steady" disappeared, leaving only the word "hurry".
Scenery raised his hand again, the word "urgent" disappeared, and the drink condensed into the word "quiet" again.
The scenery continued: "There is contentment hidden in silence."
As before, the word "quiet" became the word "fight".
"When you are fighting, you need to be calm; when you are anxious, you need to be steady." After Jingfeng finished speaking, the wine returned to the wine jar. He raised his head and took a sip of wine, and then said: "I can understand what it means, but you have to
It’s difficult to do, but maybe Chen Daoling did it.”
Li Mingyue nodded, recited this sentence silently in her heart, and wrote it down.
Chen Daoling did not say this to him.
Li Mingyue's understanding ability has never been bad. The first half of this sentence means that "quiet" does not mean not fighting, and "stable" does not mean not being anxious. That's why the second half of the sentence "Be calm when fighting, and be calm when rushing."
"People need to be stable", and when Jingjing said this sentence at this time, it undoubtedly sent a message to Li Mingyue, that is, he, Li Mingyue, can take revenge, and revenge must be done in the second half of this sentence.
As the scenery said, it is not difficult to understand this sentence, but it is difficult to implement it.
Jing Jing continued: "Chen Daoling taught me a lot, and your mother also taught me a lot, but I just can't learn it. This sentence is true, and so is 'Tao' and 'Skill'."
He laughed at himself and continued: "So for so many years, I have only learned the art, but not the Tao. In fact, many people have only learned the art, including the so-called Taoist masters. Don't look at them alone.
In fact, compared with a real saint, this magic method is not even the slightest bit worse than a real saint."
Huang Qinghan asked: "What does this mean?"
What she asked was exactly what Li Mingyue wanted to ask, so she looked at the scenery.
Scenery asked: "In your opinion, is cultivation a 'Tao' or a 'Skill'?"
Li Mingyue and Huang Qinghan were both stunned.
Scenery asked and answered himself: "It's very simple, 'Tao'. If you look at various classics, they all talk about 'Tao', such as 'the way of heaven', 'the great road', etc. Have you ever heard of 'shu'?"
Li Mingyue shook his head this time. He didn't read much, but the Confucian classics he had read recently did all talk about principles, the way to be a human being, the way to live in the world, the way to be an official, etc.
Jingjing continued: "Whether it is Taoism, Confucianism, or Buddhism, what we seek most in the end is the 'Tao'. So, what do you mean by art?"
Huang Qinghan said: "I know this. Magic skills, sword skills, talisman skills, boxing skills, these things are skills."
After saying this, she looked at the scenery with her eyes, as if she was waiting for the scenery to praise her.
Scenery smiled and said: "Yes, all the magical powers we have seen are 'skills', whether it is killing enemies with a sword or using talismans to cast spells on the world, but no matter how powerful these things are, they are ultimately not as good as Tao."
He must not be good at reasoning with others, so when he talked about these theories, there were several pauses. Every time he paused, he would fall into thinking, and then he continued: "This is most obvious to military strategists. Almost all military strategists' disciples
They all start from 'skills'. This is also the reason why military strategists can be invincible in the same realm before returning to the Yuan realm. However, after returning to the yuan realm, it is difficult for military strategists to achieve success because of 'skills'.
Before Guiyuan Realm, we did have certain advantages, but after reaching Guiyuan Realm, this advantage will be out of reach."
"Let's take Confucianism as an example. If a person just studies and doesn't need to practice any magic, but he can realize the Tao in one day and even be able to read a saint, then he has followed the path of 'Tao'."
Li Mingyue asked at this time: "I still don't quite understand, since 'Tao' is so powerful, why does everyone start with 'Skill'?"
Scenery smiled and said: "I don't understand either, and I still haven't figured out what 'Tao' is."
Li Mingyue was stunned.
Jingjing hurriedly said: "Don't think too much, you can't think too much about things that I can't understand, at least not now. I just suddenly miss those old friends. All the old friends have become deceased."
"
After that, he put the wine jar on the table and said: "Okay, sleep, there is nothing that sleep can't solve."
"By the way, although wine is good, it's better to drink less. It's best to be drunk when you're three-quarters drunk. It's shameful to be extremely drunk."
After saying this, he walked towards the second floor of the restaurant.
Li Mingyue glanced at the wine jar in his hand and placed the wine jar on the table.
Huang Qinghan said at this time: "I think what he said makes sense."
Li Mingyue nodded and said nothing. He was not thinking about the so-called "Tao" and "Skills", but about "quietness" and "stability". For him, the matters of spiritual practice can be put aside for the time being, and the top priority is to resolve mundane grudges.
.
After all, the first hurdle to pass in the Guiyuan realm is the human shackles.
