Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 592
The arrival of Lu Shijun from the capital in Jiankang caused a lot of repercussions in the entire Jiankang city.

Nowadays, most of the scholars have faith, and among the masters of several famous works in the Dao of Heavenly Masters at that time, Lu Shijun is also famous for his skill of divination to judge good or bad.In today's turbulent world, the future is full of uncertainties ranging from the family, the country and the country to the personal fate. It can be said that everyone is full of anxiety.

Lu Shijun has this ability, so one can imagine the popularity he received.Therefore, as soon as they enter the capital, the high-ranking officials and honorable supplicants are like crucian carp crossing the river, and even affect the Qing Dynasty in the capital, and the debate will stop for a while.Even the empress dowager in the garden asked people to inquire about the future of the country with the gift of silk.

Being so respected, Lu Shijun was not proud of it, and refused Yuanzhong's arrangement to let him live in Jianping Garden, but lived in the garden villa provided by his altar believers on the south bank of the Qinhuai River.And this believer is not an ordinary person, but the only surviving elder in the current clan, Sima Hong, King of Pengcheng.

After staying in Zongwang's Bieye, Lu Shijun lived in seclusion and was not keen on participating in various Qing conferences that are currently hot in the capital.This inevitably made it more difficult for people at the time to seek a meeting, and there was even a commotion outside, if they could help introduce Lu Shijun, they would be willing to pay a hundred gold.

On this day, after completing the daily fasting ceremony, Lu Cheng washed off the pastels smeared on his face, changed into fashionable clothes, and then met several noble relatives in the capital who had been praying for a long time.Before he knew it, it was getting late, so he asked his disciples to close the door to thank the guests, and even the owner, King Pengcheng, avoided seeing him when he came in to pay his respects.

"Shen's son-in-law, is there a reply?"

After dinner, Lu Cheng summoned the believers who were in charge of communicating with the outside world to ask questions.

The believer bowed down and replied: "The disciple has repeatedly sent people to secretly complain, but the Ling Renqiu of Shen's family has never seen him, and he seems to avoid it deliberately..."

Hearing this, Lu Cheng frowned slightly, pondered for a while, and his face gradually turned unfriendly: "I know you have always enjoyed respect and respect, so you will inevitably feel arrogant. Although the Shen family is from the Southern Sect, it is not Vulgarity, etc., should not be underestimated. Is there something wrong with your words and manners, and you don't know it when you see evil in others?"

"Disciple, how dare you! Disciple has never seen that Shen's family slave, and he is very courteous when he sends letters. He dare not be less polite. The other party has heard of it and refused!"

When the believer heard the teacher blamed him, he hurriedly defended himself.

Seeing that the disciple's demeanor did not seem to be fake, Lu Cheng frowned, and murmured: "If that's the case, then it's strange. There is no old rift between me and his family, and there is no embarrassment. Why would he want to Avoid seeing me? Could it be that what I learned earlier was biased?"

The reason why Lu Cheng was eager to see Shen Zhezi was also due to his own difficulties.When he entered the capital this time, the response seemed to be enthusiastic, but in fact, not many of the supplicants gathered outside really helped him.An idle king like Sima Hong is just a wealthy and idle person, no matter how close his contacts are, it will not be of great help to his own status in the Tao.

Within the Tianshi Dao, there is a set of criteria for evaluating the status of a master, and one of the most important ones is the number of famous records of the disciples held by the person.No matter how famous the teacher in the Dao Nei is, there are only a few people who receive the teachings under the altar. It is only a momentary renown, and it cannot last.

One of the most notable examples is Yan Mu, who was not involved in the war earlier. Yan Mu is also a well-known master in the Dao, not much better than Lu Cheng today.But because he was too lazy to pass on the scriptures to attract the congregation, once a catastrophe came, he would not be able to help him. He disappeared during the war, and his life and death are still unknown.Up to now, Yan Mu's name has gradually been forgotten.

Although Lu Cheng himself has the ability to prophesy, he knows that the so-called seeking good luck and avoiding bad luck is to make proper arrangements before the danger comes, and everything else is just lies.Moreover, his self-proclaimed ability of prophecy is more gimmick than reality, and it is prophecy if it can be fulfilled, otherwise it is a rumor.But he is not a real god, how could he be sure to hit every divination, so he can only minimize the predictions to avoid ruining his reputation.

In order to maintain this sense of mystery and the accuracy of divination, Lu Cheng could not contact those congregants frequently, so he was not very dominant in preaching.In the early years, it was able to gain a foothold in Guangling and even infiltrate the capital on the south bank of the Great River because of the support of the Gaoping Xi family.But in other places, his sign is actually not very competitive.

The reason why he was in a hurry to see Shen Zhezi was because he had spent the past few years in the capital, and he knew very well the appeal that the Shen family had among the Wu people, so he didn't want to be a second family.If he can get the full support of the Shen family, he will get twice the result with half the effort in Wuzhong, and even integrate the north and the south, and the unification of Taoism is possible!

He also investigated Shen for a long time.His family is a family of loyal believers, although he is not one of them, but Lu Cheng knows that Shen Zhezi himself is not very close to Lu Mo, the teacher of his family, and there seems to be some discord between them.And Shen Zhezi's situation became a little dangerous because of a momentary slip of the tongue.

People from the south of the Shen family were fortunate to be Emperor Zong, and it was obvious that the core of the time was this son-in-law.If he can take advantage of this opportunity to reach a consensus with Shen Zhezi, Lu Cheng will dare to go south to compete with Wuzhong Lumo and decide the outcome!

"The raccoon should know that I have no malicious intentions, but he avoids seeing me. He is so arrogant, does he still have something to rely on?"

Since entering the capital, he has been highly sought after, but Shen Zhezi has received cold reception and even been ignored. Although Shen Zhezi has a lot of attention, Lu Cheng still has a lot of resentment in his heart.

"A young man must show his arrogance. He thinks that he has nothing to ask of me, so he can ignore it? Hmph, it seems that he wants to teach him how to respect a virtuous elder! Cai Shizhong said something implicit the other day, you Go send a message, please Cai Shizhong come here tomorrow, arrange a few clean-up meetings for me, I want to show that raccoon a sage's tricks!"

After getting the master's order, the disciple should immediately accept the order to retreat, and then convey the master's meaning to Cai Mo.

Cai Mo has long been stuck in the matter of attacking Shen Zhezi and has not made any progress. After receiving Lu Shijun's letter, he was also very happy.According to Lu Shijun's current influence in the capital, once he comes forward to bring the topic to Shen Zhezi, it is absolutely impossible for the other party to escape from the matter!

For Lu Cheng's mind, Cai Mo can also grasp a little bit.But regarding this, he can only lament that Lu Cheng is not a person who is deeply involved in the current situation after all, and his thinking is too naive. Once the criticism starts, he can stop it if he wants!At that time, each other will criticize and defend themselves, and the hatred will only get deeper and deeper, and there will be no room for change.Even if Lu Cheng had any other ideas, there was only one way to go to the end!
Therefore, once he was trusted, in order to prevent Lu Cheng from changing his mind midway, Cai Mo also tried his best to create momentum for him, and even took the opportunity to spread the news that his son-in-law Shen Zhezi was indifferent to Lu Shijun, making it difficult for Lu Cheng to ride a tiger. .

Regarding Cai Mo's enthusiasm, Lu Cheng also had a faint feeling that something was wrong, but then he thought about Shen Zhezi's arrogance and abomination, and this kind of publicity was also a way for him to express his dissatisfaction.If that kid knows the difficulties, he should take the initiative to come to see him as soon as possible, and then he will consider whether to let this kid go!

But after waiting in the garden for several days, Shen Zhezi still did not show up, and Lu Cheng couldn't help being furious.Since he became famous as a celestial master and a Taoist master, he has never been so neglected!
Therefore, when Cai Mo personally came to the garden to greet him on the day of the rally, Lu Cheng was full of fighting spirit and determined to teach this arrogant raccoon a lesson he would never forget!

"Knowing that Lu Shijun is going to be here in person, all the sages in the capital are very excited. Everyone is willing to attend the meeting, and it is a great honor to discuss the current situation with Lu Shijun! Because of the enthusiasm of the crowd, it has been too late to make an appropriate arrangement. Only when we moved to the election venue did we finally confirm that the Imperial College has a group of virtuous people to welcome the master together!"

Hearing Cai Mo's passionate narration, Lu Cheng's recent neglect and embarrassment gradually improved. The raccoon sees mediocrity and does not see the real sages, but this world is not full of blind and arrogant people. , know who is the real celebrity in the world!
When the car gradually approached the Guozijian, Lu Cheng couldn't help sighing when he saw that there were guards all around him maintaining order: "I'm just a wild man in the mountains and forests, but I'm so respectful to the sages of the world. Waves are growing!"

"Lu Shijun is too self-effacing. Anyone who knows a thing or two in this world would not want to flatter you and listen to the virtuous voice! Shijun looks like a fairy, leisurely. At that time, I was lucky enough to go in and out with him, and I have already learned a lot."

The two were laughing, and the driver had already entered the Imperial College.But when they got out of the car and saw the empty venue, the smiles on each other froze on their faces.

In fact, there were quite a lot of people in the venue. Seeing Lu Cheng get off the car, they all gathered together to pay respects, there were hundreds of them.However, the venue Cai Mo had prepared was too large to accommodate thousands of people, and a large amount of open space was exposed to the sun, so these numbers would inevitably look pitiful.

"How could this be?"

Cai Mo has made a lot of efforts to build momentum recently, and even secretly fake public weapons. In addition, Lu Cheng's momentum in the capital has been unmatched recently. It is conceivable that there must be a large number of participants.However, the gap between reality and imagination is too great. It is true that the scale of a gathering of several hundred people is not small, but it really does not match his expectations. Moreover, most of the attendees are Qingxu local accents, and there are almost no southerners!

"Just over an hour ago, there was a letter from Dunan saying that Wuzhong Lumo Lu Shijun arrived in the capital today. His son-in-law Shen Hou and others were honored and all went to greet them. Originally, there were already a lot of people present, but after learning this After the news, everyone left the venue to meet..."

Hearing everyone's chattering reports, Cai Mo's heart was already in a mess, conspiracy!This must be a conspiracy prepared long ago, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence!

Standing behind Cai Mo, Lu Cheng, who had a graceful posture, turned pale, and even his arms trembled uncontrollably.It's fine to be robbed of popularity by Lu Mo's old rival, but Cai Mo helped build momentum a few days ago, and it has been leaked that he is dissatisfied with Shen Zhezili's slow absence.But now, the son-in-law actually went to greet Lu Mo in person but still did not see him. This is already a naked humiliation!

"Could it be that the waiter planned to set up this situation to humiliate me!"

Annoyed already in his heart, Lu Cheng couldn't even maintain his superficial indifference. He pointed at Cai Mo and roared angrily.

Cai Mo's mood became even worse when he heard the angry shouts, and at the same time, there was no shortage of slander: The old slave insisted on keeping a reserved attitude, and he was too late. If he had rushed to the venue first, he would not have ended up in such an embarrassing situation!
　Finally finished. . .
