Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 1

Ming Dynasty, Wanli period.

On the edge of the desert, there is an inn.

The gangsters and thieves who knew this inn all called it the Longmen Inn.

In the morning, it was just dawn.

The shopkeeper brought the butcher "Diao Buyu" to fetch water outside the inn.

Although the Longmen Inn is opened on the Gobi desert, there is a water source next to it.Without a water source, let alone opening a shop, even if you want to survive, it is impossible.

After all, people cannot survive without water.

The shopkeeper said to Diao Buyu who was carrying a bucket behind him: "Diao Buyu, hurry up. You boy, as long as you leave the boss's sight, you will do things slowly. If you don't reprimand you for a moment, you will be lazy."

Diao Buyu was from a Tatar, and he didn't speak Chinese very clearly: "I know... yes... the shopkeeper."

Diao Buyu is younger than the shopkeeper and has good eyesight.He immediately saw a person lying there.

"The shopkeeper's..."

Diao Buyu followed the shopkeeper with a bucket in his hand.

The shopkeeper asked, "What's the matter? Just speak up if you have something to say, and hurry up."

Diao Buyu said, "Over there... there is a man..."

The shopkeeper followed Diao Buyu's eyes and saw that there was a person lying there.

"Go, go and have a look." The shopkeeper said.

"it is good."

………………

to the lying man.

I saw this person with short hair, smooth skin, young appearance, in his 20s.

He dresses weirdly.The clothes, however, were of good material and of great value.The shopkeeper guessed that this person might be a child of a big family.I just don't know how it appeared in the desert?

The young man who was in a coma was Qin Zhiyong, a history graduate.For unknown reasons, it traveled back to the Ming Dynasty from the 21st century.

The shopkeeper said to Diao Buyu: "Go and check, is he dead?"

When opening a shop in the desert, most of the people the shopkeeper meets are sinister and cunning.No amount of caution can be overstated.If Qin Zhiyong is pretending, then he and Diao Buyu will kill him, and they don't mind making him a real death.

Diao Buyu took a few steps forward, tested Qin Zhiyong's breath with his fingers, and said, "Shopkeeper, he is still alive. He just passed out. What should we do? Do you want..."

Diao Buyu gestured with his hand to cut the meat.

Do you want to kill Qin Zhiyong?

The shopkeeper asked: "Are you sure this weirdly dressed boy is not pretending to be dead?"

Diao Buyu said: "Not pretending to be dead...he is really unconscious. His lips are cracked, he must be too thirsty and lack of water."

The shopkeeper's eyes flashed, and he said: "Then don't kill it yet. Take it back and let the proprietress decide."

Diao Buyu nodded and said, "Okay."

Picking up the unconscious Qin Zhiyong, Diao Buyu strode towards the inn.

………………

The proprietress of the inn, "Jinxiangyu", is a beautiful woman.

She just got up and got dressed.

The waiter knocked on the door: "Miss Boss, Diao Buyu and the shopkeeper brought back a strangely dressed young man. The shopkeeper asked Xiao to come and ask Madam Boss, do you want to kill him?"

Jin Xiangyu opened the door and said with a smile: "Kill him? That means this person is still alive. The clothes are weird. I have seen weird people, I don't know how many. I want to see how weird this person can be?" Go, follow me to see."

The people who can go to the Longmen Inn to eat and stay are not ordinary people, and the weird thing is that it is normal.

Jin Xiangyu has indeed seen many weird people.

Vicious, vicious, hypocritical, domineering... She has encountered them all.But I just didn't meet an upright and decent person.

Those men who tried to get her idea of ​​gold inlaid jade were all chopped into meat and fed to wolf dogs.When dealing with murderers with malicious intentions, she has always been ruthless and merciless.

Jin Xiangyu walked a few steps, turned around and asked, "By the way, where is the person brought back by the shopkeeper and Diao Buyu?"

The shop waiter said, "Put it on the chopping board in the kitchen. As long as you have a word from the proprietress, if you don't meet him, you will kill him."

………………

Jin Xiangyu brought the waiter to the kitchen, and sure enough, he saw a young man with short hair in a strange dress lying on the chopping board.

Jin Xiangyu was stunned.

She had never seen anyone dressed like this before.

"Where did you find this person?" Jin Xiangyu asked.

The shopkeeper said: "It's just outside the inn, on the sand dunes not far from the water source. Ma'am, what should I do? Do you want to kill me?"

Jin Xiangyu glared at the shopkeeper and said, "Wake him up, let's wait and see. If he is an evil person, chop him up and feed him to the dogs."

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Could it be that you are going to seduce this kid again? Madam Boss, you are beautiful, but few men can resist it."

Dian Xiaoer and Diao Buyu both had smiles on their faces.

Jin Xiangyu scolded softly: "Stop talking nonsense. Feed this kid some water. Wake him up first. Hurry up."

Everyone present, except the unconscious Qin Zhiyong, knew martial arts.

Diao Buyu stepped forward and slapped Qin Zhiyong's body continuously, the gentle force of his palm vibrating.

"uh-huh."

Qin Zhiyong frowned, and said softly, "Thirsty...water..."

The shop waiter picked up a bowl of water and gave it to Qin Zhiyong to drink.

Moisturized by the clear water, Qin Zhiyong felt his throat cool down for a while, regained his strength slightly, and slowly opened his eyes.

Diao Buyu retreated to Jin Xiangyu's side and said, "He's awake."

Qin Zhiyong's eyes were dazed, and it took a while before he woke up.He asked: "Thank you for your help. Excuse me, where is this place? Is it in the hospital?"

Definitely not in a hospital.

With the surrounding environment and the people present, Qin Zhiyong felt as if he had returned to ancient times.

Jin Xiangyu smiled with all kinds of flair: "This place is the Longmen Inn. I don't know what hospital my brother is talking about. However, we did save you. Dare I ask what your name is? Why are you alone? To the desert alone?"

Qin Zhiyong's eyes were clear, and he looked at the beautiful gold inlaid jade without any evil thoughts. He said calmly, "My name is Qin Zhiyong. I took the place of a person to watch the sunset in the desert. I stepped into the quicksand. Thank you again for your life-saving grace."

Qin Zhiyong was so tired that he fell asleep again after speaking.

The gold inlaid jade was touched by Qin Zhiyong's clear eyes.

She used to think that any man would be possessive when he saw her.She never thought that a man's eyes could be so clear and clean when he saw her beautiful face.

Jin Xiangyu turned and left the kitchen.

The shopkeeper asked: "Miss Boss, the buns are not stuffed enough. You can tell me whether to kill or not."

Jin Xiangyu's voice came back to the kitchen: "Keep this person and send him to room No. 18. Save some stuffing for buns."
