His name was Li Dan, and he had the Tao Te Ching written by Lord Dao De himself. Mengqi subconsciously thought of the Tao Te Ching preaching on behalf of the Tai Shang.
The Tai Shang had escaped from the World of Gods and it was inconvenient for him to show up again. After realizing that Meng Qi was related to the Heavenly Primogenitor and the Yuxu Palace, he gave Tao Te Ching and led Meng Qi to preach to this world?
Now that things had come to this, he was trapped in a game of chess and had experienced many things. He was no longer as ignorant as he used to be. He had always been wary of coincidences. But now, it could not be described as a coincidence. It was almost intentional!
If the Tai Shang wanted Meng Qi to imitate Li Dan and preach on behalf of him, the Earth body must have been within his calculations. Otherwise, the current situation would not have happened. Therefore, at least he was neutral. Although he did not provide help, at least he did not expose Meng Qi.
If Meng Qi regarded Lord Dao De as the Dominator of Samsara in Six Realms or the powerful people behind Meng Qi, he had exposed his last card and could no longer see any hope of getting rid of the identity of a fish. He could only pray day and night for other powerful people to get involved.
This was the situation that Meng Qi did not want to see the most. Fate manipulated people, and it was not up to him at all. It did not matter whether he worked hard or gave up. It was equivalent to denying himself. In such a situation, he would rather choose to grasp a glimmer of hope. Even if he had to fight until his soul was scattered, turned into ashes, and die a heroic death, it was better than this!
Therefore, Mengqi subconsciously distinguished Lord Dao De from the Dominator of Samsara in Six Realms. At least so far, except for the fact that the Tao Te Ching had been known by the Dominator, there was no sign that they were in cahoots.
Taking a light breath, Meng Qi's mind raced as he thought about what he should do.
Since the matter had come to him, it was not wise to escape or refuse. If he annoyed the Tai Shang, or if it was his good intention to help him get out of trouble, it would be too late to regret.
But to preach for him was a technical job. If he directly showed his talent, conquered Li Rong, and became a member of the Treasure Chamber of Luo Yi, then read all the books in the Treasure Chamber, understand etiquette, understand morality, and become famous, attracting people like Confucius to learn from him. In that case, he would be discovered by the Dominator in Six Realms in no time, and all his efforts in secret would become a joke!
Therefore, it was still better to keep a low profile and delay for a few years while making other preparations. When the main body stepped into a critical juncture of severing the past, he would then cooperate with the main body and open up a Great Dao of a world, borrowing the help of the entire god-sealing power.
The timing had to be precise. If he was late, he would fail, and if he was too early, he would be discovered by the Six Dao.
"Thank you for giving me this name." Mengqi cupped one hand in the other before his chest, deliberately using Li Rong's official name as a form of respect.
Li Rong was stunned. "You've read the bamboo slips and can read words and sentences?"
They didn't look like ordinary refugees!
"When I was young, I had a teacher to teach me." Mengqi misled Li Rong to identify himself as a poor aristocrat.
Li Rong felt a sense of achievement when Mengqi listened to his teachings and stopped begging. At this time, he was even more appreciative of his talent. He stroked his beard and said, "Good. From now on, you will call me the Treasure Chamber Administrator instead of the Lord. But since you have just entered the Li Mansion, you still have to start as a lowly servant. You will be responsible for the cleaning of the courtyard in front."
"Yes, Treasure Chamber Administrator." Mengqi hoped to keep a low profile like this.
Watching him being taken away by other servants, Li Jianjia pouted. "I really can't tell that he is an educated person from his appearance."
"You can't judge a book by its cover." Li Rong shook his head and sighed. "This shows that the world is in chaos and the frequent wars have affected it. A descendant of a Grand Secretary has fallen into such a situation. If you don't learn martial arts well, when the chaos spreads here, I'm afraid you will be more miserable than him."
As for guarding Luo Yi, Li Rong had already seen through the weakness of the Zhou Royal Family and no longer had any illusions.
In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.
Because of the fact that he was named Li Dan, Mengqi did not dare to neglect it. With the help of the Fairy World, he slightly adjusted the time and separated the day and the night. When the deity was in the day, the body on the earth was in the night, and vice versa. In this way, he could barely take care of both sides. Wherever the day was, his consciousness would be there to avoid any mistakes.
And this was also one of the reasons why Mengqi did not dare to directly exchange for a longer period of time to practice. In a few years, who knew what would happen to the body on the earth.
Rustle, rustle, rustle. Mengqi swept the courtyard attentively and meticulously. It seemed that this was not a lowly servant, but the most sacred and most worthy of attention.
Through the window of the study, Li Rong and Li Jianjia watched Mengqi cleaning the courtyard. They were infected with a bit of tranquility and relaxed physically and mentally.
"Working as a lowly servant without slacking off and not falling into depravity in difficult times. Jianjia, with this mentality, this willpower, this concentration, he is a hundred times better than you. You have to learn from him," Li Rong sighed.
Li Jianjia rolled her eyes and snorted, "So what? He's still cleaning the courtyard. "
In fact, she admired Mengqi's dedication and meticulousness. She felt that she could not do it, but she could not help but talk back when her father scolded her.
Li Rong laughed, "I'm testing him. Now that he has passed the test, he will become an attendant later. He will be responsible for the cleaning and tidying up of the study room and the treasure chamber. If he has free time, he can read books and practice martial arts."
"It's a pity that he has wasted his best time. It will be difficult for him to achieve anything in martial arts. I'm afraid that he will not become a teacher even if he studies," Li Jianjia said stubbornly, but what she said was also the truth.
Li Rong did not say much. He agreed with Li Jianjia's judgment. However, it was enough to train a servant like an attendant. He was not a great general or a great sage.
He turned around and walked to the back of the table. He sat down on his knees and looked through the information collected by the servants and the imperial court.
Suddenly, Li Rong fiercely slapped the table, breaking it into two pieces. His breathing was rapid, and his beard was blowing. His anger was clearly shown on his face.
"Father, what's wrong?" Li Jianjia stared at her father and asked blankly.
"The Mo family of the Qi Kingdom abolished many etiquettes in the name of being cumbersome and useless. Not only did they give short funerals, but they also diluted the hierarchy." Li Rong said angrily, "The etiquettes are broken and the music is broken! The etiquettes are broken and the music is broken! Sumo is really the most evil person in history! "
"The human heart is not what it used to be. I only regret that I am not strong enough to kill this evil person!"
"Achoo …" Mengqi sneezed and felt that he was shot again. Then, he continued to sweep the floor silently.
Li Rong walked back and forth in the study room with his hands behind his back. His anger gradually dissipated. When he saw that Mengqi was concentrating on his work and was not affected by the outside world, he finally calmed down. He shook his head and went back to the table to look at other papers.
In the end, he saw a visiting card. He opened it in confusion.
"Ji Yu from the Zhongshan Kingdom?" Li Rong said to himself.
Li Jianjia was responsible for helping her father organize these things. She said, "Gongzi Yu? Father, do you want to see the visiting card he sent today? "
"What's his background?" Li Rong asked.
Li Jianjia recalled the words of the servant who was in charge of this matter and said, "He is a young master from the Zhongshan Kingdom. It is said that he is very knowledgeable and knows the general situation of the world. After the fall of the Zhongshan Kingdom, he has been living in exile in other countries. I didn't expect that he would come to Luo Yi."
"Knowledgeable? Then I can meet him. "Li Rong nodded.
…
A carriage slowly drove to the Treasury Keeper's Mansion. It was neither too fast nor too slow as if it was on an outing.
A man with a crown was sitting in the carriage. He had black hair and was wearing a loose robe with big sleeves. His facial features were good and he looked a bit noble. However, there was always a bit of frivolity and impetuosity between his eyebrows.
He closed his eyes to calm himself down and put on a serious expression. At this time, a skillful servant got in from the window and handed him a few pieces of paper, "Childe, this is what you want."
This person was Gongzi Yu. He took the paper and signaled the servant to leave. Then, he slowly flipped through the paper.
"… no Li Dan … no Lao Dan … no Li Er … no Bo Yang … It seems that the Taishang has not appeared in the treasure chamber to enlighten the world …"
A smile appeared on Gongzi Yu's face. In this world, no one knew that there might be an incarnation of Lord Dao De in the small treasure chamber of Luo Yi. If he appeared, he would become the teacher of all ages. The 5,000 words of Tao Te Ching written by him contained the true meaning of Tao Te Ching and opened up the Tao of this world!
If he didn't come from the earth and traveled here by chance, he would never have guessed it.
Now that the Taishang has not appeared, wouldn't this merit and glory belong to him?
His soul had been in Gongzi Yu's body for a few years. Relying on what he had learned in his previous life, he gradually gained the reputation of being a knowledgeable person. When he occasionally preached a few opinions that had not appeared among the Philosophers, he actually gained the Qi of Morality and Merit. This complemented the martial arts he had encountered and made his strength improve by leaps and bounds.
After tasting the sweetness, he set his eyes on Luo Yi and the treasure chamber. If the Taishang has not appeared, it will be his opportunity!
Now that many schools of Philosophers have appeared, if the Taishang does not appear and preach Tao Te Ching, he will not appear again because he has noticed that the embryonic form of Confucianism has begun to appear.
At that time, he will be the sage who opened up the Tao of this world!
In his beautiful imagination, the carriage arrived at the Li Mansion. Under the guidance of a servant, Gongzi Yu entered the study and saw two men and a woman inside. The man had a white face and a long beard. It was Li Rong. The woman seemed to be his daughter. The other man looked old and prematurely aged. He seemed to be a servant in charge of the house.
After greeting each other, Gongzi Yu stated his purpose of coming. He said that he felt helpless because he saw the collapse of etiquette and bad music in this world and his lack of knowledge. He heard that the treasure chamber of Luo Yi was good at etiquette and came to ask for advice. He also asked Li Rong to allow him to read the book.
This just hit Li Rong's itch. He praised Gongzi Yu and immediately agreed.
Gongzi Yu pretended to sigh and said, "This world is immoral and immoral. People are not what they used to be and chaos is frequent. I am not talented, but I hope to read all the books and find out where the Tao is."
This was to pave the way so that people would not suspect him if he made big news in the future. Moreover, he could not remember the complete Tao Te Ching and needed Li Rong's help to perfect it.
"What you said is very kind!" Li Rong clapped his hands. Mengqi curled his lips. This guy is really good at pretending. Does he think he is a moral saint?
Gongzi Yu was secretly proud. He pretended to be humble and said, "You flatter me."
Haha, I will open up the Tao!
Before his voice died away, he heard Li Rong's order, "Li Dan, take Gongzi Yu to the treasure chamber first."
Li Dan? Gongzi Yu was stunned.
Li Dan!
His expression suddenly froze on his face. It turned from white to red, red to black, black to white, as if he had opened a dye shop.
