Chapter 533: Conspiracy behind the scenes, writing on the spot
"Oh?"
Lin Shan was a little excited now!
Using Zhong Shenxiu's status and friendship in White Deer Academy to operate for him, it seems that he can really stir up a lot of energy.
"And second brother, I can take advantage of this banquet to try my best to bring you and Hongdu Academy together."
"When the time comes when you two join forces, what else do you have to fear about Shangyang Academy?"
"If you need it, I can even secretly help target businesses in my personal capacity!"
It's okay to target businesses, but not Shangyang Academy.
Lin Shan thanked him for his kindness and told him that it was not necessary.
The merchants are nothing to worry about, they can handle it on their own.
As for the Hongdu New Mansion, there is no need for matchmaking. The two parties have the intention to cooperate.
He was just curious about the inside of White Deer Academy.
"How can you help me operate the Lujiang League while you are inside?"
When Zhong Shenxiu heard it, there was something interesting! I felt energetic immediately!
"Second brother, you don't know that in White Deer Academy, I belong to the position of chief senior brother of the younger generation. I don't dare to call the shots. At least most of the elders are familiar with me."
"As long as I keep whispering in their ears, talk more about your advantages, and say a few nice words for your Lujiang League, why should I worry about big things?"
"In addition, I can also exaggerate the friendship between our two brothers. To tell the truth, the elders can also be open to the Lujiang Alliance for the sake of friendship."
Lin Shan couldn't help but wonder when he heard his babbling.
"Is this really that simple? Is it enough for you to just talk?"
Zhong Shenxiu nodded naturally.
"Otherwise? What a big deal do you think it is?"
He shook his head and smiled.
"The size of the Lujiang League may not be small in your eyes, but for the top level strength, it is just that, and it does not pose any threat at all."
"Sometimes the gap is far greater than you imagine."
"You should have been to Yunchuan Academy. How do you think Lujiang League compares with it?"
Lin Shan answered honestly: "Not as good as that."
"And I can tell you clearly that Yunchuan Academy is not worth mentioning in our eyes!"
Lin Shan understood now.
Recalling that the Black Lotus Sect, the Zixiao Sect of the Song Dynasty, and the Qianyun Pavilion were indeed powerful, even a loose alliance like the Lujiang League could not compare with others.
However, even if you hear this, you cannot take it completely seriously.
Because many forces have climbed up step by step from small to large. This is a gradual accumulation process.
It is impossible that because you are not strong enough now, others will not take precautions before they happen.
Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?
At least in the Song Dynasty, he had never heard of any famous and capable sect family under the top sects, similar to the sects of the top ten academies of Lu State.
On the Lu State side, the top ten academies are unique products of local customs.
The pattern of four superpowers and multiple strong players has been maintained for a long enough time before it slowly took shape.
But it is not allowed to develop too far ahead, let alone get bigger.
For example, if Zhenzhi Academy in southwest Shandong tried to use a 'Hyacinth' mother tool to change the existing foundation of the world of cultivation, it would naturally be struck by thunder!
The result was that Zhenzhi Academy was reduced to ruins and destroyed in one fell swoop!
"Second brother, your Lujiang Alliance, it's okay to have a small fight. It's okay if I help you carry it around. But you have to remember!"
"Be sure, don't exceed the scope of Yunchuan Academy!"
"The size of the top ten academies has actually reached the limit of tolerance. This is an unspoken rule hidden under the surface. No one can provoke it!"
"Don't blame me brother for not reminding you."
Zhong Shenxiu could also see that Lin Shan was ambitious, so he told him that sometimes he should follow the Romans and follow the rules of Lu.
The rules of Lu State are the rules set by the four top forces.
They can decide whatever they want.
If people think you have crossed the line, then you have crossed the line!
Any person or force who attempts to challenge authority will not get good results in the end!
"Well, Brother Wei knows."
Lin Shan nodded, saying that he had no ambition to replace him, and only wanted to develop his own Ancient Xun Sect.
The Lujiang League is nothing more than a regional economic cooperation and mutual assistance organization in the Lujiang River Basin in western Shandong. It cannot escape the geographical restriction framework and does not need to worry about becoming bigger in the future.
Zhong Shenxiu also agreed with this, and he didn't think this loose regional alliance could do much.
As for Xungujiao.
It's just like playing house, you don't need to worry too much at all.
"Then our trip to Misian Ridge is settled?"
Zhong Shenxiu looked forward to it, gearing up, and seemed ready for a big fight.
Lin Shan thought for a while.
In fact, if you want to save trouble, there is no need to go to Misian Ridge. It is most convenient to kill the old snake outside now that he has escaped.
Judging from the current situation, a banquet is being held here, and there is definitely no chance to do anything.
And waiting to intercept and kill after the banquet is also a good choice.
He expressed his thoughts.
"No, when Master Puchang came, he came with many forces in northwest Shandong, and even Shangyang Academy accompanied him. Most of them will go back together when they go back. There are so many people who are difficult for us to attack."
Zhong Shenxiu looked a little later than Lin Shan and had already gathered the information.
If he could intercept and kill him halfway, he also wanted to get it done once and for all, so there was no need to go to a dragon's pond or a tiger's den.
But with so many forces accompanying them, it would be difficult for the two of them to take action.
Lin Shan understood. After all, he himself came with Yunchuan Academy.
Now that everyone is out, who doesn’t have a few friends?
It is not surprising that Master Puchang hooked up with Shangyang Academy. The local forces and the local academy were naturally close to each other.
"Okay, I don't think it's better than this."
"After the banquet, I asked Master Yang to go back with Yunchuan Academy first, and we secretly went straight to the Mystic Ridge in northwest Shandong!"
"How about arriving at Master Puchang first, and then squatting in front of his hometown to ambush him?"
When Zhong Shenxiu heard it, this is OK!
In comparison, it would be much more convenient and safer to wait for the real Puchang, disguised as the Snake Demon King, to return to his lair before going in to explore the secrets.
Just like home invasion and doorstep robbery, the latter is obviously more labor-saving.
"With the second brother here, I feel relieved!"
"Wherever we are, brothers are united."
"It's sharp enough to break gold!"
The two laughed at the same time and reached an agreement.
There were many monks nearby who were secretly observing and watching. They found that the two young men were chatting happily, and they secretly speculated on the relationship between them.
It was noon.
"The time has come, everyone is almost here, then our ceremony will officially begin!"
There was a master of ceremonies on the stage who gave an order.
"Dang~"
A crisp gong burst out, drums and cannons roared all around, and the noise suddenly rose, shaking the sky and the earth, as if thousands of horses were coming!
After the cannon was fired, rows of long bell-carts were pushed out, with a red-robed musician sitting on every other room, holding a can and beating the bells on the left and right.
Groups of costumed dancers filed in behind them, dancing classical slow dance to the music.
As the atmosphere gradually progresses.
The lion and dragon dances entered the venue from below, flew to the sky and escaped from the ground, and soared around. They were controlled by the monks. They walked around the banquet, clinking glasses and interacting with the guests. Some of them scattered jade in the sky to bring blessings.
The golden elixir masters from all major forces just watched quietly, while the disciples brought behind them interacted with each other happily. Lin Shan is now considered a person who has seen the world, so the way he looks at this kind of ceremony has changed from curiosity and participation to scrutiny now.
From the details in various aspects, you can roughly judge part of the background of a force.
Through the discovery, it is not difficult to see that the ceremony of Hongdu New Mansion was carefully prepared and spent a lot of money. It was extraordinary and full of style in all aspects.
It shows his style and vitality, as well as his determination to enter the top ten academies.
"Open the account and salute!"
On the high platform, the master of ceremonies was still presiding.
The gentlemen of Hongdu's new mansion all wore Confucian robes, high crowns on their heads, and held silk brocades in their hands to pay homage to the Confucian saints.
Of course, there seems to be particularity in what is dedicated, and different people offer different things.
Gentlemen, as Jindan Zhenren, they offer silk, also called sacrificial towels, with writings on them that cannot be seen clearly from a distance.
Next, the old teachers from the foundation-building period offered incense, wine bottles, and melons and fruits.
At the end there were student representatives who presented some flower baskets and the like.
This process differs from region to region, and even from academy to academy.
Anyway, Linshan's Xungu Sect and Lujiang League have never done such fancy things.
However, during the process, he saw a person who was always leading the way, a thin old Confucian with a long beard.
The head of the new palace in Hongdu, Kong Shenzi.
This old Confucian looks wrinkled and has a very recognizable appearance that is concerned about the country and the people.
After the ancestor worship is completed, the chapter is presented.
The dedication chapter is also called the offering table.
It’s nothing more than singing, praying, blessing, and looking forward to something like that.
An old emcee was replaced and he recited on the spot, impassioned and ups and downs.
"Hongdu Qishan, a glorious grand ceremony, retelling the glorious old history, and opening a splendid new capital.
It was built in the prosperous age, the grand plan was first revealed, the dragons and tigers leaped, it was a spectacular sight.
Guests and friends from all over came to congratulate him, and the Confucian lineage was extended and the auspiciousness was rising. It blessed all people and will be recorded forever.
”
There was solemn silence below.
They are all witnessing the birth of a new force, replacing Zhenzhi Academy and standing at the top of southwest Shandong.
The sects and aristocratic families supported by the local people gathered here, and they were all excited at this moment. They would be the first batch of ministers to follow the dragon and have the merit of supporting him.
When the time comes, the two parties will complement each other and will rise rapidly and strengthen themselves.
Although other guests who came to watch the ceremony felt that they had little to do with them, they also felt that they had a sense of participation.
Wait for the old master of ceremonies to finish chanting and present the chapter.
The master of the palace, Kong Shenzi, led a group of senior officials up to the table and took their seats.
On both sides of the banquet, local aristocratic families immediately came out and handed over their congratulatory seals.
The academy students in charge took it over and read it aloud one by one on the spot.
After the chanting, the congratulations will be read out.
The scribe next to him was sitting at a long table, taking notes one by one.
Yang Zhenren, who was next to Lin Shan, also took out a small notebook and a gift from his family.
Zhong Shenxiu also took out one in style and also prepared a congratulatory gift.
"Second brother, where's yours?"
Lin Shan was empty-handed and he hadn't had time to prepare.
Congratulatory gifts are easy to talk about. You can just pack one on the spot, but He Zhang really didn't take care of it.
"Master Lin, you didn't even write a congratulatory chapter, did you?"
"How? I just."
"Huh? Who are you!"
Lin Shan was startled suddenly, and suddenly a person appeared next to him.
This person's appearance is unremarkable, but his temperament is cold.
He has a fair face, delicate eyebrows, no hair on his lips, long hair, and a moon-white robe.
What a young man in white!
Lin Shan was convinced that he did not know this person. There were people from all sects and sects at the grand ceremony and banquet, and he did not know the purpose of approaching him.
The spiritual sense was not able to detect it in advance, which shows that he is very accomplished in concealment. However, Chengming Qingyun did not respond, which meant that there was no hostility for the time being and there was no need to worry about safety.
"The next person is an unknown person. It's normal to think that you don't know the leader Lin. I think you seem to need help, so I boldly stepped forward and wrote a book."
"Oh? Do you want to write a congratulatory seal for me?"
Lin Shan glanced at the boy in surprise, not sure what he was thinking, but it was just a small matter of writing a congratulatory seal, so there was no need to owe others a favor.
The literary talent of someone in Talin cannot be overshadowed!
At any rate, I attended nine years of compulsory education in my previous life.
Who do you look down on?
Zhong Shenxiu and Yang Zhenren had never seen this person before, and they frowned and thought hard.
However, seeing Lin Shan take out a pen and paper to compose a poem on the spot, he inevitably became worried.
"Second brother, writing a poem requires too much inspiration and time. At the same time, you have to slowly reflect on it and polish it carefully. Is it too late for you to write it now?"
"Leader, why don't you use my Yang family's congratulatory seal."
"Huh???"
Lin Shan pushed away the pile of dishes and prepared some space on the table to show off his skills.
Master Yang handed him his congratulatory seal, and he was indeed loyal.
"I believe that the leader of the alliance has great literary talent, but who can recite poems and compose poems without repeatedly revising them? If there is a mistake, I am afraid of making people laugh. If there are so many people present, it may damage the reputation of the leader."
Zhong Shenxiu and the young man in white couldn't help but sigh.
"Master Yang is indeed loyal and loyal. He puts aside his family for the sake of the alliance and abandons private interests for the sake of public service. He is a role model for our generation!"
Lin Shan couldn't help but be moved and told him that it didn't have to be like this.
"Please believe in my literary talent. Even if you don't believe in me, you should believe in Wang Bo."
"Wang Bo?"
"Ahem, that's not important"
Lin Shan saw that all the local forces had finished reading, and it was the turn of the foreign forces here, starting with the top ten academies, and then taking their turn.
The strange young man in white asked him for the last time.
"Master Lin, are you sure you don't need me to write this? I have a ready-made article here that just doesn't need to be used. I'll just write it down for you to use."
Zhong Shenxiu also advised him not to rely on others. If it were him, he would have to think hard for a long time. Things like writing have little to do with cultivation. It all depends on talent and accumulation.
Even top students from top academies cannot compose poems in just seven steps when it comes to reciting poems and composing poems.
Lin Shan directly poured out the fourth-level spiritual liquid 'Condensing True Ink', swiping it with ease, and told the three of them not to worry, as he knew it well.
The three people's eyes widened when they saw it!
What kind of rich man is this, using level 4 spiritual liquid to write congratulations?
Especially the young man in white was extremely heartbroken, as if he had a special liking for spiritual liquid.
"Master Lin, it seems to me that this ink is used to draw small magical talismans and seals, right? Did you just waste it on a congratulatory chapter?"
Although Lin Shan was writing a congratulatory note, his train of thought was not affected at all, and he still had time to reply to him while writing.
"Hate, what are you talking about! This is the trophy I got from killing Jingxuan and his elders. Anyway, I don't know how to make talismans, so it would be a waste to keep it. It's just a waste to use!"
At this time, the three of them were even more stunned when they saw He Zhang's output in his last meal!
"The old county of Yuzhang, the new mansion of Hongdu, the stars are divided into wings, the ground is connected to the Henglu Wuhua Tianbao, the dragon's light shines on the bullfighting ruins"
"This, this, this, this is what you wrote?"
