Siheyuan: Stab at Louzi at the beginning

Chapter 935 Nature
Xu Damao did not answer whether he was satisfied or not, but ended the conversation with two words "here we are".

Just open the door and get out.

There is nothing new under the sun.

Maybe there really are some in Beijing.

The fact that this person sent him here is enough to prove that he is not a patrolman, or his identity is more than just a patrolman.

What 862 Bureau? Xu Damao didn’t believe it at all.

There is no need to stop cars on the road. With such great power, wouldn't he come over if you just pass the message?

Why do these useless things?

Is she deliberately showing off her muscles to him?
In front of him was an ordinary blue brick gatehouse. On top of the vermilion gate were nine door nails vertically and horizontally, and door knockers in the shape of turtles, snakes, and other animals. On both sides of the threshold were two stone pillars, one large and one small. On top of the large stone pillar sat a pair of stone drums, and on top of the small stone pillar sat a pair of seals.

On the lintel are six protruding cylindrical wooden carvings, on which are carved some auspicious beasts and auspicious clouds.

The gate is not big, but with these, it adds a bit of majesty.

These dregs of the old society should be demolished.

The patrolman who brought him here had left quietly, and the door was still closed.

Xu Damao thought he was asked to knock on the door, but as soon as he walked forward, the door opened from the inside.

"Director Xu, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

I lifted my leg and stepped over the threshold. Although the door was not big, I found a different world after entering it. I walked through the corridor and around the dragon wall before I entered the courtyard.

This place is bigger and more luxurious than the three-story courtyard that Li's father gave to Xu Damao.

In the city of Sijiu, many houses have small gates, but the interiors are all very deep. If you only look at the gate, you really don’t think there are several courtyards.

There was a stream of running water brought in from outside into the yard, and there was a pavilion built next to it. Xu Damao saw the person who invited him over in the pavilion.

There was no surprise, just that look.

Zhang Rongqing.

He is also the boss behind the nameless restaurant.

The patrolman mentioned Bureau 862, a place he had only heard of from Cui Dake, and that the people there wanted to harm him. Team Leader Li said that the one who wanted to use him as an example to warn others was this 'Zhang Wang'. If Team Leader Li had not lied to him, then this must be him.

I wasn't surprised when I saw it was him.

"I knew you would come. You are very courageous. Not only that, but you are also lawless and fearless. I don't know who gave you the confidence... We'll talk about this later. Sit down first. You don't seem surprised to see me?"

Xu Damao sat opposite Zhang Wang. On the table was a Go chessboard with nineteen vertical and horizontal lines.

"Why should I be surprised? I once told someone that after I got out of that place, there were very few things that could surprise me."

"Oh? Is that the state of unity between man and nature that Xiao Tao talked about? It seems that you really realized the truth in it."

Before Zhang Wang spoke, he was staring into Xu Damao's eyes.

It's not that he stares at the other person to show respect when communicating, but he does so out of habit, analyzing a person's psychology based on facial expressions.

Xu Damao had developed a keen eye over the years. He was not surprised at all when he said "Xiao Tao".

It's not like he was plotting anything shady, so it wouldn't be a big deal if others found out.

It's nothing more than a display of strength. From his conversation with Tao Xianjin, one can tell that the muscles were indeed shown, but Xu Damao just didn't accept the challenge.

"You really practice what you preach. You mean the unity of man and nature. Can you tell me what it feels like?"

I don't think anyone would really believe Xu Damao's nonsense.
Could it be that someone really made such a big fuss and invited him here just because of the four words 'harmony between man and nature'?

That's... really funny.

Some people believe in these things and are very obsessed with studying them, such as celestial beings, qigong, alchemy, and spiritual practice. They try to play with them in any mysterious way. Most of them are elderly people who are afraid of death.

Xu Damao naturally scoffed at this, he was just saying it casually.

If this was the reason why he couldn't help but jump out, Xu Damao found it really difficult to hold back.

So I kindly explained to him, "Don't think so mysteriously. You are also a scholar, so you must know the saying 'Do not be happy with things, do not be sad with yourself'. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is just a state of mind. There is no such thing as 'heaven and man' becoming one, and there is no strange thing that changed my mind. I just realized a little truth and my thoughts became clear."

"Is that really the case? Those Chinese medicine pills you made, everyone who has eaten them, all praise them highly. They are as effective as elixirs."

Xu Damao:......

"Chinese medicine pills are Chinese medicine pills. They are made of precious Chinese medicinal materials, so they are naturally effective. It's a bit too much to call them magic pills. They are just the right medicine for the right condition. If you say so, blood transfusions and surgeries in hospitals are also magic techniques, aren't they?"

Zhang Wang looked away with some disappointment.

Judging from his many years of work experience, Xu Damao did not lie and what he said was completely sincere.

It could also be that he is in harmony with nature, and it is impossible to tell what he is thinking.

"Don't switch concepts. Traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine are not the same thing and should not be confused."

Xu Damao naturally would not argue with him about this.

The fact that these people have come this far shows that their beliefs are so strong that it is terrifying. They are also very self-centered and it is extremely difficult to change their minds.

Xu Damao naturally would not do such a thankless task.

"I don't quite believe what you said, but I don't see any signs of you lying. Then can you tell me where you got the confidence to be fearless when being pointed at by guns? When you came out of there, so many people pointed guns at you, but you were not afraid. And today, you were also fearless and even snatched the gun away. You still have it with you now, right? There are real guns and real bullets in them, and they are not fake."

Xu Damao took out a pistol and placed it next to the chessboard.

He said there was no fraud here, so was there fraud somewhere else?
Xu Damao wanted to ask, but he was just thinking about it.

I thought about it for a long time. Psychology says that if you discard the wrong conclusions, the only result left is the one that is left. Even if it is unreasonable, you have to accept it and believe it. After the process of elimination, I finally came to the conclusion that your confidence is that you are not afraid of guns at all. In your eyes, it is just a toy and poses no threat to you. I think this is ridiculous. How can a mortal body not be afraid of hot weapons?"

"Do you think this answer is wrong?"

Xu Damao remained calm on the surface. With the blessing of "an actor's self-cultivation", he was a complete veteran actor. Even for a character like Zhang Wang, who had been watching people for his whole life, he did not find any traces of acting.

Very perfect and natural.
