Chapter 232 Tea "The Way of Employing People" and the Second Style of "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven"
Chu Fengge and Shangguan Jin glanced at each other, then at Gu Xu, then stood up and bowed to Luo Si Bow and leave.
To this day, they have long been accustomed to Luo Sishou's special treatment of Gu Xu.
On the one hand, they are deeply envious;
On the other hand, they are used to the majestic appearance of Luo Si Shou before - if one day Luo Si Shou treats Gu Xu like , and pour them tea in a pleasant manner, they will probably be frightened into having nightmares, thinking that they must have done something wrong to offend the chief executive.
Soon, only Gu Xu and Luo Chuan were left in the small attic.
Luochuan pointed to the white jade teapot on the table and smiled: "Do you still need tea?"
Gu Xu shook his head and politely declined, saying that he still had tea in his cup. Remaining.
It is not difficult to see that Luochuan likes tea as much as Yan Guogong Zhao Changying likes drinking, Chu Fengge likes to show his holiness in front of others, Shangguan Jin likes good-looking clothes and rouge, and Shi Xiaohan likes delicious food.
Every time he poured tea for Gu Xu, there was a slight difference in taste. The color of the tea was either emerald green or amber, but both were bright and vivid, clear and transparent, and the texture seemed to be Excellent, undoubtedly a valuable tea species in the Daqi Dynasty.
I don’t know how many kinds of tea he collected in private.
"Gu Xiaoyou, regarding this trial in the 'Reviewing Pot', I actually have a total of two questions that I want to talk to you about," Luo Chuan paused and then said, "What I just mentioned' "Beware of your own kind" is one of them. Can you guess the other one?"
Gu Xu thought for a moment, thinking of the "Lord Yelang" surrounded by hundreds of ghosts, and guessed: "Another question. ...Is it how we deal with an enemy that is much stronger than ourselves?”
“No,” Luo Chuan smiled and shook his head, “It’s how to make good use of our companions.”
"Make good use of your companions?" Gu Xu frowned slightly.
"Everyone has their own areas of expertise, as well as flaws in ability or character," Luo Chuan explained. "Perhaps, when you were an official in Yishui County, most of the ghost-killing tasks were carried out alone. Completed.
“But as your cultivation and official position improve, you will face more and more powerful ghosts in the future, and most of the time you will need to act together with your companions.
“In such a situation, you have to fully understand each partner, and then put the right person in the right position to maximize his effectiveness.
“For example Chu Fengge, he has excellent talent, strong true energy, and his cultivation level is far ahead among his peers. He also possesses rare and powerful magical powers like 'weeds'; but his fighting style is relatively simple, and his temperament is impatient and aggressive. He is prone to being in the limelight in front of colleagues and lacks careful consideration in doing things.
“For a person like him, if his arrogance can be suppressed, he will become an excellent fighter, a fierce general who bravely breaks into the enemy's formation, but it will be difficult for him to act alone and it is impossible to become the coach of one side. . If you give him too much trust, he will definitely cause trouble."
Having said this, Luo Chuan shook his head slightly and showed a "you understand" expression to Gu Xu.
Then he took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and continued: "Another example is Shangguan Jin. Her cultivation qualifications are not particularly outstanding, and her understanding is only average among the geniuses in Luo Jing City. It is above average. However, in terms of effort, there should be very few people in Luo Jing City who can match her... Of course, Gu Xiaoyou, you are definitely one of them.
"And she is also. She has mastered many different tricks, such as poisons, curses... She is willing to learn these unpopular things.
“Perhaps because of her various experiences when she was young, she will do whatever it takes to achieve her goals - she will be opportunistic, she will take advantage of others, and she will say many nice things in front of you to gain your favor and trust. .
"In addition, although she seems to be well-behaved and easy-going, she rarely really recognizes a person-especially her superiors. Unless you are good enough to suppress her steadily...otherwise, she will be like a wild cat picked up from outside. She is submissive to you on the surface, but in fact she just wants to secretly plot to kill you and then turn over. Be the master.
"Thankfully, Gu Xiaoyou, she appreciates you very much now. You are safe for the time being."
As Luo Sishou said, he glanced at Gu Xu with a smile, took a sip of tea, and then Then he said: "If you can truly impress someone like her, she will become a powerful assistant, an excellent staff member, and a sharp sword in the dark, able to do things for you that are inconvenient for you." Things to do in person... However, you have to remember that she is more suitable to stay in the shadows than to be in the sun."
Gu Xu held the tea cup and listened silently to Luo Chuan's words.
The heat rose from the cup and condensed into white mist in the cold weather, making his vision slightly blurred.
He felt that Luo Chuan's words did not seem like he was discussing the trial of "Reviewing the Old Pot" with him, or discussing the cooperative relationship between colleagues.
It's more like standing in a superior's perspective and understanding how to know people well. If the word "companion" in his words were replaced by "subordinate", there would be no sense of violation at all, and it would even be more appropriate.
"Is it possible that because of my outstanding talent, Luo Sishou wants to train me to be his successor?" Such speculation came to Gu Xu's mind, "So today, through this This is an opportunity to teach me the legendary 'how to employ people'?"
Gu Xu currently has no interest in taking charge of the Exorcism Department.
His current dream is to cultivate to the seventh realm or above as soon as possible, find out the Kongxuan San people hiding in the dark and deal with them, then marry a wife and have children, and become a happy, wealthy and idle man; if necessary, It protects the peace of the place and protects the people around you from ghosts and monsters.
Because of this, Luochuan remained silent while he was speaking.
After Luo Chuan finished speaking, Gu Xu thought for a few seconds, and then asked in a less serious tone: "So Sir, what kind of person am I in your eyes?" ?"
Luochuan glanced at his eyes, then looked down at the white jade teapot on the table, smiled and replied: "I think I am not qualified to make such an evaluation now."
At this time, he suddenly saw that Chu Fengge and Shangguan Jin's empty teacups were still on the table - during that period of time, neither of them had the guts to pick up the teapot and pour themselves tea.
So, Luochuan waved his sleeves lightly, and the two empty teacups disappeared from the table.
Then, with a thought, he conjured two old booklets out of thin air, and then handed them to Gu Xu with both hands.
"Gu Xiaoyou, this is a good thing specially prepared for you," he said with a faint smile, "Please take a look."
Gu Xu reached out and took the booklet.
He heard Shangguan Jin say this morning that as long as he passed the trial, he would be able to get a reward from Luosi Headquarters - the content of the reward would be something that each of them wanted very much.
Gu Xu first looked at the first booklet and found a line of scrawled writing on it: "About how to learn the second form of the "Seven Forms of Burning Heaven" - 'Mingzhu'."
"This booklet is the notes written by Daqi Imperial Master and his junior brother He Yiqun after learning the second form of the "Seven Burning Heaven Forms" created by Chi Yangzi - they want to use their own experience to help future generations understand "The Seven Forms of Burning Heaven". The obscure true meaning of the Great Dao in "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven"
"Of course, after reading this notebook, most people still cannot understand "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven", and even become more confused and confused. Even more confused.
“But Gu Xiaoyou, you are different from them. I believe that with your understanding, you can immediately clear the clouds and see the blue sky with just a little guidance from your predecessors.
“ So I personally think it should be of some help to you. ”
Gu Xu nodded and sincerely thanked Luo Sishou.
Before this, it only took him less than one night to master the first "Yingyan" of "Seven Burning Sky Styles". At that time, his terrifying learning speed and unimaginably terrifying understanding deeply shocked Chi Yangzi's disciple He Yiqun.
But when he was learning the second form of "Ming Zhu", his progress in understanding suddenly stalled.
He spent some time thinking about the true meaning of it, but failed to get the result.
In order to avoid delaying his cultivation, he temporarily put aside the "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven" and focused his main energy on improving his cultivation. When you encounter a suitable opportunity in the future and relevant inspiration comes to your mind, you can reopen it and think about it carefully.
Until today.
When he saw this notebook, he suddenly felt that he might be able to find the answer he wanted.
