Dayin Golden Gate

Xie Qing's wind and cold, under Baili Ying's skillful hands, really recovered within a few days.

After Xie Qing recovered from his illness, he read and wrote every day, and lived a very leisurely life.

But his leisurely life was soon broken by the arrival of a person.

"Mr. Guigu is here!" Liu Jing ran into the room in a panic.

Guiguzi is almost a god-man among the people. The legend of him turning beans into soldiers and cutting grass into horses has been passed down by word of mouth.Otherwise, Liu Jing wouldn't lose his composure even if the sage came up today.

Xie Qing was sitting on a huanghuali openwork armchair reading a book, he closed the book, suppressed his excitement, and said lightly: "Since you're here, let's go and have a look."

Liu Jing opened his almond eyes, "Young Master, aren't you surprised, that's Mr. Guigu!"

"There are many people who don't deserve their names." Xie Qing stood up and tidied up the wrinkles on his clothes caused by sitting for a long time.

There are very few descriptions of Guiguzi in "Chu's Spring and Autumn", so Xie Qing actually doesn't have the slightest understanding of the Guiguzi he is about to meet.

"How could Mr. Guigu not be worthy of his name!" Liu Jing was full of disbelief.

Xie Qing stepped over the threshold, "I'll know it when I meet you."

Xie Qing and Liu Jing walked through the hall and came to a main room.

Liu Jing couldn't go in, so he reluctantly grabbed Xie Qing's sleeve, "Master, you must tell me what Mr. Guigu looks like when you come back."

"Okay." Xie Qing smiled.

Liu Jing let go of Xie Qing's sleeve, "The young master is so good, he will definitely become Mr. Guigu's disciple!"

Bailiying did not hide the purpose of Guiguzi's trip, and Xie's family has a lot of people, so with Xie Changkang's acquiescence, almost everyone in Xie's family knew about it.

"Thank you, if I really become Mr. Guigu's disciple, I'll treat you to Wuweizhai's pastries." Xie Qing knew that his maid's favorite was Wuweizhai's pastries.

As expected, Liu Jing's eyes lit up, "It's a deal."

"A four-horse is hard to follow." After finishing speaking, Xie Qing turned and walked into the main room.

There were already five people in the main room - Xie Bi, Xie Changkang, Bailiying, a woman with beautiful eyebrows, and a man with an ordinary face.

The beautiful woman showed nostalgia, "The young master really looks more and more like a young lady."

Xie Changkang's originally expressionless face suddenly became gloomy, he pursed his thin lips tightly, and did not speak.

Xie Qing thought: This woman must be Pei Yunshang's former personal servant girl Shui Pei, and the man must be the world-famous Mr. Guigu.

"Since everyone is here, let me introduce you." Bailiying stood up and faced Mr. Guigu, "This is Xie Changkang, the head of the Xie family, and the other two are his son Xie Changkang. Qing and his daughter Xie Bi."

Bailiying didn't introduce Shui Pei, after all, a maid is not worthy of the stage.

Shui Pei kept smiling, but no one knew what she was thinking.

Guiguzi beckoned, "Come here."

Xie Qing and Xie Bi walked in front of Guiguzi, both of them were very cute, like a couple of golden boys and girls.

Guiguzi stared at Xie Bi for a while, and then at Xie Qing for a while.

When Guiguzi looked at Xie Qing, Xie Qing felt that his secret seemed invisible under those eyes, which made him break out in a cold sweat.

Xie Bi was not much better than Xie Qing, her face was pale and her forehead was sweating.

Guiguzi closed his eyes and opened them again, his eyes softened, "The purpose of my coming here must be known to both of you." He paused, "You two need to pass a test if you want to become a disciple of Guigu, and this test It's very simple, just ask me a question, if I can't answer it, I will pass the test."

Both Xie Qing and Xie Bi showed a look of surprise, they didn't expect Guiguzi to have such a weird test.

This test is difficult to say, easy to say.

"I can give you half a stick of incense time to think." After speaking, Guiguzi closed his eyes again.

The main room fell into silence, no one spoke, no one moved, and the air seemed to be no longer circulating.Everyone had their own thoughts, and they didn't even meet their eyes.

After about half a stick of incense, Guiguzi opened his eyes, "It's time."

"Sir, do you know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is?" Xie Bi asked a question that she thought Guiguzi couldn't answer, with a look of color on her face.

Guiguzi said without hesitation: "The sky is infinitely high, and the earth is 190 million feet deep."

Xie Bi said unwillingly, "How does Mr. know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is?"

"How do you know I'm wrong?" Guiguzi said coldly.

"Abi, don't be presumptuous in front of Mister." Shui Pei scolded.

Xie Bi closed her mouth, tears welled up in her eyes, but did not fall.

Xie Qing made a long bow, and said solemnly: "I would like to ask sir, what is Tao?"

Guiguzi didn't speak for a long time, and then said after a while: "I have countless answers to you, and each of them is correct to a certain extent, but incorrect to another extent. So, your question, I can't answer that."

The question Xie Qing asked was the same as the test Guiguzi asked.

Tao is a synonym for people's cognition of all things, things, and thinking.It is one, and it is two, and it is three.It is nature, it is yin and yang, it is all things, and it can also be said to be the origin, body, law, principle, realm, ultimate truth, etc. of the universe.Everything that exists is the Tao, and if there is existence, it will change and become the Tao. Change means disappearing and perishing is still the Tao.

Countless people have put forward countless definitions of Tao, but none of them can be called accurate.

Guiguzi patted Xie Qing on the shoulder, his eyes sparkling, "From today onwards, you are a disciple of Guigu."

Xie Qing didn't kneel down. Through brief contact, he knew that Guiguzi didn't care about red tape, "From today onwards, I will call you teacher."

Bailiying smiled and cupped her hands, "Congratulations, Guigu, you have a successor."

Guiguzi stood up, cupped his hands and said, "I am very grateful that you found such a good material and beautiful jade for me."

"Since you want to thank me, why don't you give me the altars of fairy wine you buried." Ever since Bai Liying drank a glass of fairy wine in Guigu, she has never forgotten that kind of wine.

"Okay." Guiguzi agreed.

Bailiying was about to be happy when Guiguzi added - "A jar."

"Stingy." Bailiying muttered dissatisfied.

Xie Changkang is both happy and worried. He is happy that Xie Qing has become a disciple of Guigu. If the Xie family declines in the future, Xie Qing can rely on this identity to find another way out; From what I heard, if Xie Qing lost to another Guigu disciple, he might end up dead.

Shui Pei was afraid that Xie Changkang would see his distorted expression, so he covered his face with his sleeve.

Xie Qing felt a little tired, so he said goodbye to his father and teacher, and returned to his room.

Liu Jing graciously offered a bowl of hot tea, and looked at Xie Qing without blinking.

Xie Qing remembered that he agreed to Liu Jing and told her Mr. Guigu's appearance, but after thinking about it, he couldn't remember Guiguzi's appearance.He hesitated and said, "Mr. Guigu looks...very ordinary."

"Isn't this the same as not saying anything?" Liu Jing complained.

Xie Qing took a sip of tea, "I have become Mr. Guigu's disciple. Mr. Guigu will probably stay at Xie's house, and you will be able to see him in the future."

"Congratulations, young master, young master, don't forget the pastries from Wuweizhai." Liu Jing smiled slyly.

Xie Qing tapped Liu Jing's forehead lightly, "You clever ghost."

Liu Jing covered his forehead and stuck out his tongue.

As Xie Qing expected, Guiguzi stayed at Xie's house.Guiguzi's original intention was to take Xie Qing to Guigu, but Xie Changkang refused to separate from Xie Qing, so he sternly refused.

Under Xie Changkang's orders, the servants packed up a study room for Guiguzi to teach.

Guiguzi taught Xie Qing fourteen chapters of "捭阿战" and he lectured one chapter a day, with obscure words and profound meanings, regardless of whether Xie Qing could understand it or not.

The fourteen chapters of "捭做结" are respectively "捭阿", "Reaction", "Nei楗", "Daiyan", "Flying Tong", "Wuhe", "Tui Pian", "Mo Pian", "Quan Pian", "Mou Pian", "Jie Pian", "Fu Yan", "Zhuan Wan" and "Que Luan".In general, this book is about tactics and debate skills.

Fourteen days passed by in a hurry, although Xie Qing only learned a little bit, he also benefited a lot.

On the 15th day, Guiguzi asked Xie Qing: "I know astronomy, geography, and astrology. But you are not Guiguzi, you are just a disciple of Guigu, so I only I can teach you a skill, what do you want to learn?"

Xie Qing pretended to be thinking, and after a while he said: "I want to learn the art of stargazing from the teacher." In fact, he worshiped Guiguzi as his teacher, in order to learn the art of stargazing.In this way, even if he knows the future, even if it is known, there is a reasonable explanation.

"Okay." Guiguzi nodded.

Stargazing is even more mysterious than Shuhece. Xie Qing knew the meaning of every word Guiguzi said, but when they formed sentences, he couldn't understand them.

No. On the 16th day, Guiguzi left a letter and drifted away.
