Chapter Four Visiting Joe's House(2/2)

You must know that an era lasts for twelve years. It is incredible that good luck can last for twelve years.

So Taijizi carefully observed the faces of everyone in their family, and asked everyone's name and horoscope.

Finally, when Taijizi saw Qiao Fugong's younger brother, he laughed loudly, pointed at Qiao Fugong's younger brother and said, "Having this son in your family will make you prosperous."

These words made the Qiao family, who suffered a sudden disaster at that time, a little confused. You must know that the man's private parts had been cut off at that time, and he would be inhumane in this life. He was considered to have no descendants, so how could he be able to prosper the Qiao family for a long time.

So Qiao Fugu bowed sincerely and asked.

"This son will surely climb dragons and ride on clouds in the future, shining brightly on the lintel of your Qiao family."

Taijizi's words were like comments, which made the Qiao family overjoyed at that time.

Not long after Taijizi left, he was sent to the palace.

I don't know whether Taijizi was really good at pinching or calculating, or it was just a coincidence that the man who was sent to the palace soon became successful in the palace.

He was favored by the emperor and became the emperor's confidant eunuch. As a result, the Qiao family quickly rose to become the richest family in Duliang County.

And because there were members of the Qiao family in the court, local officials all fawned over them one after another, resulting in the Qiao family's position in Duliang County becoming more and more stable.

The group of bandits and the enemies behind the bandits were discovered by the Qiao family and all of them were wiped out.

It is for this reason that the people of the Qiao family are grateful to Taijizi, and Aiwujiwuxia also highly respects Taoism.

The Qiao family even wanted to send their own children to Taijizi's sect, but it was a pity that Taijizi said that he and the Qiao family had no master-disciple relationship.

"My nephew came here at the right time. Immortal Taijizi told me twelve years ago that my family would be prosperous for another century. Now that century has come. When my nephew comes down from the mountain, what can the immortal say to me?"

Although Qiao Fugong seemed to be studying Taoist classics and looked indifferent like an immortal, his true nature was revealed when he opened his mouth.

"Shibo, my father told me to give you these words before I came down from the mountain."

Liu Yu pulled out a roll of paper from the bamboo basket behind him.

Qiao Fugong immediately stood up, raised his sleeves and bent down to carefully take the paper roll from Liu Yi's hand.

Then he pushed everything on the desk aside, and then opened the paper roll on the desk little by little.

Li Yi felt that this situation was very similar to the feeling of a thief who had stolen something in the village before and was checking the stolen goods.

The white paper roll unfolded, and Li Yi also stepped forward.

I could only see the words on the paper slowly showing up: The way of heaven is always with good people.

Li Yi knew that this sentence came from the "Tao Te Ching", which means that the way of heaven does not distinguish between relatives and strangers, and always favors those who follow the way of heaven.

"My dear nephew, what do you mean by this?"

Although Qiao Fugong knew the origin and meaning of this sentence, he did not understand the meaning of Taijizi's words.

"Shibo, my father said that this world should conform to the way of heaven so that all generations can be prosperous."

"Can my dear nephew give me some advice on how to follow the way of heaven?"

At this moment, Qiao Fugong's face was full of inquiry, and he no longer looked like an elder to Liu Yu at first.

At this time, Liu Yu smiled and said nothing.

Seeing that Liu Yu didn't speak, Qiao Fugong became a little anxious.

"My father once said that he would leave this painting after handing it to Uncle Shi. From then on, the fate between the Qiao family and my father ended here."

After saying this, Liu Yu handed over his hands and prepared to leave.

"Why are you here?"

Qiao Fugong immediately pulled Liu Yu's sleeve, intending to stop Liu Yu.

Li Yi was really impatient when he saw Qiao Fugong holding Liu Yu away and not letting him go.

Then he said: "Old sir, my master has already told you to follow the way of heaven. You can just do what your master said. Why bother with my elder brother?"

"My dear nephew, my master didn't tell me how to adapt to the ways of heaven."

"Thank you for studying Taoist classics, complying with the way of heaven, living in the world with action, and cultivating the mind with inaction. Isn't this the core idea of ​​Zhuangzi?"

After Li Yi finished speaking, he took Liu Yu's sleeve out of Qiao Fugong's hand.

"Entering the world with action, and cultivating the mind with inaction?"

Qiao Fugong repeated this sentence murmuring to himself.

Li Yi and Liu Yu turned around and left after saluting. They had already seen that Qiao Fugong was not someone who could devote himself to cultivating Taoism.

"No wonder the master said that his fate with the Qiao family has ended." Li Yi thought to himself.

Maybe Qiao Fugong has been completely immersed in the understanding of living in the world with action and cultivating the mind with inaction, or maybe Qiao Fugong no longer wants to entangle Taijizi.

Li Yi and Liu Yu left Qiao Mansion smoothly.

After leaving the house, Liu Yu looked at the tall courtyard wall of Qiao's house and the desolate scene in Duliang County, and couldn't help but sigh.

"As a human being, if you think about good and evil, you will bring about good and bad things!"

Li Yi couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Liu Yu's words.
