Seeking the Tao in the Mortal World

Chapter 31: Match Made In Heaven

They had been drinking wine for quite some time.

Qin Yi looked at Li Qinglin with more complicated eyes.

More complicated than before.

He had a sense of vigilance at first because a cold-blooded person who could kill his brother could also silence him after the matter was done. He had always felt a thorn in his heart for such a politician, and he couldn’t get close to Li Qinglin.

.

But if what Li Qinglin said was true, Qin Yi admired him.

I actually admire a person who killed his brother… This made Qin Yi wonder if there was something wrong with his worldview. If he thought about Li Qingjun’s feelings after learning the truth, it would be even more complicated.

Li Qinglin sipped the wine slowly and said leisurely, “I know that Brother Qin has been a little wary of me since you met Ye Ling, and I know what you are thinking. Maybe you are afraid that I will silence you afterward or you may even be afraid that I’m a ruthless person who will even harm Qingjun… But Brother Qin is overthinking. If I want to silence, the first person I want to kill is Ye Ling instead of you. Without Ye Ling, even if you spread rumors everywhere, no one will believe it. What’s more, even if someone believes it, it’s meaningless. Even Dong Huazi’s various accuses on me in the imperial court have no results, let alone you?”

Qin Yi said, “Why do high-ranking people have to think so much about killing people? Some people just met a young boy in the mountains while doing secret affairs, so they killed him without saying a word.”

“Huh?” Li Qinglin looked a little surprised, “Could it be… that is why Brother Qin feels resentful toward Dong Huazi? His people killed your friend?”

“Yeah, you can say that.”

“Pfft… hahaha…” Li Qinglin took a sip of his wine and laughed loudly, “This is what you get for not considering so many consequences and making enemies for nothing. I’m afraid he doesn’t know how did he provoke you. Interesting, interesting.”

Laughing for a while, he said, “This is a living example. There may be someone behind you, Qin Yi. I won’t provoke this kind of trouble for nothing.”

Qin Yi couldn’t help but laugh.

“The reason why I talked so much with Brother Qin is because I think partners shouldn’t be suspicious of each other. That can only spoil the affairs. You and I have the same goal, so I hope to cooperate sincerely. So…” Li Qinglin looked at him with burning eyes, ” Can Brother Qin open your heart to me now?”

Qin Yi toasted each other, “Why bother asking? You and I are already friends.”

Li Qinglin raised his cup and said with a smile, “That’s right, we are already friends long ago.”

They toasted. Li Qinglin let out a sigh of relief, “According to my observations over the years, Dong Huazi is quite similar to Che Chi 3 immortals in your story. He must have no real inheritance, but a wild fox koan. The elixir is obviously wrong, so there are only 2 possibilities. Either he intentionally harms my father or he doesn’t understand it himself and refines it wrong. There are many other signs like this. I’m more inclined he really doesn’t understand.”

Qin Yi nodded and said, “I faced Dong Huazi head-on today, and I think he doesn’t know much in cultivation. He is more like a politician than a cultivator. Even a wandering artist is proficient in hexagrams, but he doesn’t seem to understand them. Because people who are really confident will probably refute my guesses with confidence rather than playing politicians’ tricks.”

Li Qinglin said with a smile, “Since I know Brother Qin, I have always felt that what you have learned is obviously systematic and has inheritance, which is better than Dong Huazi. As long as you make my father believe in you, Dong Huazi will have no support.”

This was the reason why Li Qinglin attached great importance to Qin Yi. Qin Yi sighed slightly in his mind. He liked Li Qinglin a little more. Because Li Qinglin had another way to deal with Dong Huazi, which didn’t require such a complicated process.

That was direct usurpation.

The army was in the hands of Li Qinglin. He could completely do what Li Shimin did, forcing his father to abdicate and practice Taoism. As long as he sat on the throne, was it easy to eradicate a State Preceptor?

But he didn’t choose this path. Instead, he went to hire a Taoist, intending to compete with Dong Huazi for his father’s trust.

Qin Yi sighed, “I will see your father tomorrow morning. I will try my best.”

Li Qinglin pondered for a moment, then he suddenly said, “This time Mang Zhan came to the South Li Kingdom, I’m afraid it has something to do with Dong Huazi. Now I even suspect that Dong Huazi is the spy sent by the West Savage Kingdom to make trouble. So Brother Qin, no matter what is your thoughts toward Qingjun, in front of the father, please don’t give up on the relationship.”

“My thoughts?” Qin Yi was a little embarrassed and wanted to drink to cover it up, but looking at Li Qinglin’s eyes, he finally gritted his teeth and said directly, “You don’t need to tell me about this. Mang Zhan should stay away as far as he can. “

Li Qinglin clapped his hands and laughed, “So the cooperation between you and me is a match made in heaven.”

…………

Back in his guest courtyard, Qin Yi didn’t feel sleepy. He leaned on the window sill to watch the moon.

Too many things happened today. The first battle with Dong Huazi, the relationship with Li Qingjun had changed, and the relationship with Li Qinglin was even more solid. One after another was passing through his mind. When he closed his eyes, the faces of these people echoed repeatedly.

“Stick Stick, what do you think?” He asked suddenly.

Liu Su said leisurely, “Li Qinglin is very interesting. Such an interesting soul is one in a million in both the immortal and mortal worlds. Unfortunately, we both have different ideals.”

“What else?”

“Li Qingjun is cute.”

“…”

“As for other mediocre people…” Liu Su sneered, “Mang Zhan is just a martial arts practitioner, not as good as Li Qinglin. I can tell Dong Huazi’s cultivation at a glance. He is just at the Phoenix Initiation Seven Levels, just like an ant. Treating him as a great opponent is a shame for me. If you really cultivate to be an immortal with me, there are ten thousand ways to annihilate this thing.”

Phoenix Initiation Seven Levels.

In the past few days, Qin Yi had already learned about these realms by rushing to study Taoism knowledge. Cultivate the mind and body is divided into 5 states and 7 levels. The 1st level is dispelling chronic illnesses, lightening the body and mind, achieving a balance of the 4 elements, and calming the 6 emotions. It was also known as Phoenix Initiation.

To put it bluntly, it was Qi Training Stage… Qin Yi himself preferred to call that, and he was used to it. And Liu Su never insisted on the name of the realm. In its view, it didn’t matter what its name was. He could call it a foolish realm if he wanted to.

The 7 levels of Qi Training Stage might be regarded as immortal to ordinary people, but to Liu Su, it was just a real beginner. A rookie who had just touched the threshold of cultivating, not to mention he practiced it himself. If you put aside some spells that were difficult for ordinary people to understand, in terms of combat power alone, he might not be able to beat an experienced talented martial artist like Li Qinglin.

In fact, Dong Huazi couldn’t even beat Ye Ling… if Ye Ling wasn’t restrained by him.

So if Dong Huazi was dismissed from his position, he couldn’t even escape alive.

“Don’t underestimate Dong Huazi too much.” Qin Yi said cautiously, “He has Ming He on his side. Who knows what is their relationship.”

“Ming He… she is indeed a little troublesome.” Liu Su said, “If Ming He is really on Dong Huazi’s side, you and Li Qinglin should just give up. Instead of a match made in heaven, it’s more like a pair of dying mandarin ducks. “

Qin Yi automatically ignored its sarcasm and asked, “Do you understand her hexagram? Can you explain it in detail?”

“Cannot.”

“Ah?“

Liu Su sighed, “Do you really think that I know everything? I have never learned the way of divination. What I taught you is just common sense. The real way of divination is profound. How can I explain without learning? Even Ming He, who figured out this hexagram, may not really understand the hexagram she predicted.”

“She doesn’t understand herself?”

“Of course, otherwise why didn’t I learn it back then?” Liu Su said contemptuously, “Ignorant people think they know the way of heaven, but the way of heaven is impermanent. Who can know it all? In the end, it will just confuse and misdirect people. It is full of jokes. How about you forget that hexagram, lest you trouble yourself.”

You are saying that it is profound while saying it is full of jokes… I think you just can’t learn it right… Qin Yi complained in his mind, but felt that Liu Su was a little closer.

It turns out that it also doesn’t know something.
