Chapter 465 Qingtian Double Meeting
The yellow-faced boy and the others looked at each other. How could they not recognize the young scholar in front of them? He was none other than Tang Yu, the legitimate son of the Tang family in Hengshui City.
In order to cover up the news that he had left Nanping, he deliberately disguised himself as an ordinary caravan. For this purpose, he also specially accepted a group of businessmen who really went to Beijing to do business, just to cover himself.
And this Tang Yu is one of them!
The yellow-faced boy will investigate the details of everyone who enters the caravan, and there is absolutely nothing suspicious about them. But what he didn't expect was that such a third-rate wealthy businessman's family could have guards with such strong martial arts skills!
You must know that the yellow-faced boy has recruited heroes from all over the world in the past few years, and he has not surpassed Lu Hongfei's generation. Today, he discovered such a talent next to an inconspicuous wealthy businessman, and he immediately felt a sense of emotion.
"I'd like to thank Mr. Tang for rescuing me!"
The yellow-faced boy looked solemn and was about to kneel down to the scholar.
The scholar in Tsing Yi is naturally Liang Yan who used the secret technique of "Yuanmu Dao" to disguise himself.
Actually, he didn't want to take action at first. This time he changed his appearance and identity just to sneak into the capital in a low-key manner.
When the dozen or so human corpses besieged the caravan, Liang Yan did not act rashly. As far as his consciousness was concerned, he already knew the strength of the yellow-faced boy's group.
Among the subordinates of this yellow-faced boy, the handsome young martial artist named Lu Hongfei has already entered the palace and is capable of fighting against ordinary monks in the middle stage of Qi training; They are at the third level of Qi and have a good command of Talisman Dao. With the cooperation of the two, ordinary monks in the middle stage of Qi refining are no match for them.
As far as Liang Yan's consciousness was concerned, he already knew the realm of monks behind the bamboo forest, which was only the fifth level of Qi Refining. He thought that Lu Hongfei and Zhou Wen would be able to win if they joined forces.
Unexpectedly, the monk behind the bamboo forest actually had two iron corpses. This was far beyond what his level should have, and the yellow-faced boy and his gang would definitely not be able to deal with it.
Although Liang Yan was not a Confucian saint, he would not sit back and watch the entire caravan be slaughtered, and finally let Ah-Dai take action.
He glanced at Yue Qianyang and thought to himself: "Although this yellow-faced boy is polite on the surface, he can't hide the wary look in his eyes. I think he is still wary of me. This Yue Qianyang is still wary of me." Qianyang's name was probably made up out of thin air."
However, he didn't intend to get too entangled with this person, so he smiled and stopped Yue Qianyang who was about to bow down, and said. : "Young Master Yue's words are serious. Now, I am also a member of the caravan, so I should do my best for such a trivial matter."
Yue Qianyang's face straightened and he said seriously: "Mr. Tang, this may be a trivial matter to you, but. For us, it is a life-related matter, and Yue will never forget this life-saving grace."
He turned around and gestured with his eyes, and immediately a guard came over with a heavy bag. Small box.
"Mr. Tang, here are five hundred taels of gold. I know that Mr. Tang's family is well-off, but this box of gold is also a piece of Yue's heart. Please accept it, Mr. Tang."
Liang Yan glanced at the iron box and knew that if he didn't accept it, it would arouse suspicion. What's more, when I came to Beijing this time, I really needed some worldly gold and silver to make connections, so I nodded and ordered Ah-Dai to accept the box.
Yue Qianyang seemed quite happy to see Liang Yan accept the offer, and he cupped his hand and said, "When Mr. Tang comes to Beijing this time, in addition to doing business, will he also attend the 'Qingtian Double Meeting'? "
"Qingtian Double Meeting?" Liang Yan was moved, but the expression on his face did not change. He just said calmly: "Tang has been at home for a long time and has never heard of this meeting." Yue Qian. Yang laughed and said: "I didn't expect Brother Tang to be so diligent in studying despite being born in a merchant's family. He is really a role model for our generation."
He paused and said: " In fact, this 'Qingtian Double Meeting' was established by the emperor of the Liu family and is held every ten years. The purpose is to recruit talented people to pray to heaven and extend the emperor's life! ”
"It turns out that it was set up by today's emperor, but Tang was ignorant." Liang Yan suddenly said.
Yue Qianyang smiled slightly and said: "Brother Tang is too modest. Mr. Yue has little talent and knowledge, so he likes to ask about these lively and interesting things. In fact, this 'Qingtian Double Meeting' is divided into 'Water and Land Dharma Meeting' and 'Tea Tasting' The meetings are scheduled to be held at the same time one month later. It's just that the content is completely different."
Liang Yan was aroused by him and said with fists in his hands, "I'd like to hear the details!"
Yue Qianyang nodded and said, "This is the land and water ceremony. 'It is to recruit capable people and strangers from the Buddhist and Taoist families to serve as A grand event for the emperor to pray for blessings and longevity. However, most of the monks and Taoist priests in the world are swindlers and there are too few real scholars. It is difficult to distinguish the true from the false by relying on Buddhist scriptures and Taoism. Only by fighting on the stage can we distinguish the superior from the inferior over time. The Dharma Assembly' evolved into A martial arts meeting."
When he said this, he paused for a moment and then said: "Furthermore, the two families of Buddhism and Taoism have always been fighting for their orthodoxy. If you get angry, sometimes someone will die!”
Liang Yan couldn't help but smile a little after hearing what he said, and thought to himself: "It seems that they are all low-level Qi-refining monks who are not popular."
Any monk who has a true inheritance wants to prove it As for those who live forever, they won't easily fight bravely with others. Even if they take action, most of them will be a battle of interests and opportunities.
Those who fight because of worldly glory and wealth are basically people with no hope of immortality. For example, Chen Lin, whom he met before practicing Taoism, was abandoned by his own family, had no hope of seeking immortality, and was greedy. Worldly pleasures will eventually turn into bandits.
"It seems that there is still a lot of risk in this 'Water and Land Dharma Meeting', but I wonder what happened to the 'Tea Tasting Party'?" Liang Yan asked seemingly casually.
Yue Qianyang smiled slightly and said: "The 'Water and Land Dharma Meeting' was a martial arts fight, and this 'Tea Tasting Party' is a literary fight. This party will be held by Su Xin Lake in the Imperial Courtyard. , hosted by the royal princess, most of the attendees were well-educated Confucians or young talents. They were divided into six arts: piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, poetry, and poetry. The Confucian scholars who were selected for this time were ranked A, B, and C. "< br>
After hearing this, Liang Yan secretly thought: "The emperor of the Yue Kingdom seems to have great respect for Confucianism. Both Buddhist and Taoist families have to go to the stage to fight life and death, but the Confucian children only need to sip tea and compare their skills by the lake."
Seeing that he was silent, Yue Qianyang continued: "I think Brother Tang is a well-educated man. I have some connections. I can recommend Brother Tang to participate in this 'tea tasting party'. No. I'm interested."
Liang Yan was a little amused: "We only said a few words, why do you think I'm a learned man?"
But of course he didn't. He knows how to dismantle others. He hesitated for a moment and then said, "Well, thank you so much, Brother Yue!"
Thanks to the book friend: Lehuan for the reward again.
