"Think of it."

Zhuang Er shook his head: "It's blank."

"Why?"

"I don't know."

"Isn't it strange for fellow Taoists?"

"It was strange just now, it can't be done now."

“Why?”

"Not why."

Sumu:???

Are you here to play the puzzle for me?

At this time.

Zhongziqi saw Su Mu's speechlessness and explained with a smile: "Do not blame fellow Taoists. The 'Tao' of the family master is: let it go and do nothing and govern. That is: existence is reasonable."

"So, even if you still don't know the reason, it's no longer surprising."

"Then... I'm blank, can he do it?"

Su Mu pointed at Han Shi.

He didn't mean to make things difficult for him, but wanted to test the quality of the four masters and apprentices.

"Can."

Zhongziqi glanced at Han Shi, closed his eyes slightly, and began to count. After only three or five breaths, he opened his eyes again: "I saw a lot of constables, and this little brother... is likely to be in prison."

"Don't swear!"

Han Shi was bargaining with Zhongziya, and when he heard the conversation here, he was immediately anxious.

Since he was young, he has always been responsible for his duties, so how could he be imprisoned?

It would be fine if this kind of slander out of thin air and loses some reputation.

The key is: it is likely to affect the young master's impression of him. If he thinks he is the kind of criminal who is expelled... that kind of consequence is terrifying!

"Don't blame this little brother."

Zhong Ziqi was obviously a good-tempered person and apologized directly: "My calculation only represents a possibility. Although it will happen in almost every ten years, it is not absolute."

"And, even if you encounter a constable, this possibility may not necessarily mean a prison disaster."

Han Shi's face looked a little better when he heard this.

And beside it.

"Head captain, prison disaster? Before I came into contact with him, Han Shi had committed any incidents? It shouldn't be a problem, based on my understanding of his personality and the emotional identification of the home log."

"wrong!"

Su Mu brows moved and suddenly remembered yesterday's murder: "If the case was yesterday, the government followed the clues and found it, it would indeed be involved in the constable... So, the root of this matter is probably still in me?"

Although this was just a guess, he had already felt confident.

As for verification, it is also very simple.

——Just wait for the follow-up.

"Don't panic when you retreat, I believe in you."

Su Mu comforted Han Shi: "And, if what you guessed is right, I will be tying you..."

When Han Shi heard this, he thought of what happened yesterday and a smile of worry appeared on his face: "Young Master..."

"Did you forget? I analyzed it with you before."

Su Mu gave him a look and asked him to continue bargaining, while he shifted his attention back.

"It seems that these four masters and apprentices may have some tricks?"

He thought to himself and asked, "Can you ask, what is the principle of the Taoist calculating?"

"Principle?" A hint of doubt appeared on Zhong Ziqi's face. It was obviously the first time he heard this 'vocabulary'.

“The so-called ‘principle’,”

Su Mu thought for a while and explained: "The boat can float in rivers and seas because the water has buoyancy; the wheels of the carriage are round because the friction of the round is small; the rainbow in the sky is colorful because the water vapor refracts the sunlight..."

"The reason behind these phenomena is the 'principle'."

"Principle, the original truth, so that's it."

Zhongziqi nodded and looked at Sumu in amazement: "The boat floats in the water, which is easy to understand; the wheels are round, and I don't understand what the fellow Taoist calls 'friction', but I can understand this principle. But, why do fellow Taoist say that the color of the rainbow in the sky is caused by the refraction of the sunlight?"

"This is not easy to understand. But practice is the only criterion for testing the truth. Let's do an experiment!"

Su Mu said, glanced at the water bag on the ox cart, and his eyes fell on Zhong Ziran, the big man: "Fellow Daoist Ziran, come and drink a sip of water, and spray it with your back to the sun, and you want to spray out the mist."

Zhongziran did not move, scratched his head, looked at his senior brother Zhongziqi, and after the latter nodded to agree, he picked up the water bag and did as he did.

Gudong!

Puff ~

Water vapor spread three to five meters.

——I have to say that Zhong Ziran, this big man, looked tall, big, strong, round waist, and extraordinary lung capacity.

See only:

In the large fog of misty water vapor, a small rainbow appeared under the sunlight.

"Um?"

Zhongziran widened his eyes.

I made this?

——His tall, but silly and surprised expression formed a cute contrast, which was extremely interesting.

This scene also surprised others.

Including the four masters and apprentices of Zhuang Er, as well as Han Shi who bargained while paying attention to this place.

In a few moments, water vapor scattered and the rainbow disappeared.

Zhong Ziqia exclaimed and said, "Practice is the only criterion for testing truth. Fellow Daoist is a great talent! He can actually find the essence from the scene in life and achieve small achievements..."

Now.

Zhuang Er actually spoke too.

Through his appearance, he saw through the essence: "Fellow Tao, have you... found your own 'Tao'?"

"Dao?" Su Mu's brow moved.

"The so-called 'Tao' is: a summary of thought, a practical concept, and a cognition of heaven and earth." Zhuang Er said so.

"If this is considered Tao, then my 'Tao' should be: to investigate things and to obtain knowledge. That is, to explore the essence of all things through appearances and practice as a means."

When Sumu was on Earth, the scientific thinking cultivated by nine years of compulsory education was throughout his words and deeds and his behavior.

"good."

Zhuang Er smiled happily and bowed solemnly again: "I have met fellow Taoists."

This fellow Taoist, unlike before, seems to have a special meaning.

At this time, Zhong Ziqi looked at Su Mu no longer had a look at his peers, but more like facing his elders.

After all, in his opinion, there is no order in learning, and those who are good at it are the first.

"I've met fellow Taoists."

Su Mu returned a greeting and took the opportunity to ask: "Go back to the previous topic, I don't know what your calculations are, and what is the principle?"

I asked Zhongziqi before, but now my favorability seems to be here, so I asked Zhuang Er.

When he wanted to come, asking the master was more accurate than asking his apprentice, right?

Who would have thought?

Zhuang Er stretched out his big hand like a palm-leaf fan, patted Zhong Ziqi's head, and signaled him to answer.

"Don't blame me, my family teacher is not good at speaking. To be honest, except for preaching to my brothers, my family teacher rarely speaks in ordinary times."

"I have been together for so many years."

Zhong Ziqi explained, apologized for his master, and immediately replied: "In my opinion, the principle of divination is: the way of sincerity can be known before..."

"stop."

Su Mu interrupted and patted his forehead with some headache: "Can you speak human words?"

Zhongziqi:???

I've told you birds to speak, or what?

"Say it in words that ordinary people can understand." Su Mu translated it in time.

"this……"

Zhongziqi was a little distressed.
