This martial artist just wants to be an official

Chapter 306 Night Talk

After hearing what the Holy Son said, everyone's faces showed interest.

They have never heard of such rumors.

Only Hai Wuyan's face turned a little red.

He naturally knew what was going on. Every meeting between Confucianism and Taoism was recorded in detail in the Confucianism and Taoism Annals.

"What uninvited guest?"

Song Yu's face showed curiosity.

Lu Yuanzhi paused while picking up vegetables with his chopsticks. He looked at the Holy Son with interest and listened patiently to what he continued.

The Holy Son chuckled and continued:

"The head of Confucianism and Taoism at that time was already in a high position in my country, Dayong. When he came to Daomen for a meeting, he was escorted by a military expert sent by the then Emperor Dexian."

"Unexpectedly, after arriving, before the Confucian leader said much, the military master threatened to see the methods of the Taoist and Confucian sects..."

Having said this, the Holy Son had a sneer on his face:

"It was said that I was escorting the Confucian leader, but actually I came to the Taoist sect to find out. The Emperor Dexian at that time was not very tolerant of people. Naturally, I, the leader of the Taoist sect, could see the whole story and did not agree to the martial artist. Just to test the Confucian and Taoist families. I took out a gold colored glaze flower as a bet..."

"Golden Glaze Flower..."

Hearing these four words, Song Yu's eyes became a little straight.

Lu Yuanzhi didn't know the pros and cons, tilted his head and looked at Song Yu and asked:

"Brother Song knows?"

Song Yu nodded and said with lingering fear on his face:

"According to the records of my Kewu Zhi, this golden glazed flower grows deep in the mountains and is protected by dragons. It takes thousands of years to grow. Its effect can help people calm down, understand themselves, and condense their Taoist hearts..."

Condensing the Taoist heart?

Lu Yuanzhi was deeply shocked after hearing this.

As far as he knew, in addition to martial arts, in other systems, whether it was Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, or even Kewusi's cultivation system, there was a difficulty in breaking through the fourth level, which was the calamity of questioning one's mind.

If you survive this calamity of questioning your heart, you will cross the dragon gate and achieve high status.

If you can't get through it, it will be difficult to make any progress in this life.

"Song Shanxin is right. The golden glazed flower has this magical effect. Although the head of our Taoist sect cannot use this flower, there are countless young talents in the sect who can use it." After the Holy Son said this, he gave himself He added a cup of tea, took a sip to moisten his throat and continued:

"It was just a competition, so the head of my Taoist sect agreed. At that time, the head of Confucianism and Taoism had no objection. The three of them competed at the same time. In the end, the head of the Taoist sect won the competition and won the golden glazed flower."

"Afterwards, Na Wufu suggested that every meeting in the future invite talented people from all over the world to communicate and progress together. The three major departments of Taoism, Confucianism and Martial Arts would be the main ones. Each meeting would bring out a treasure as a bonus..."

When the Holy Son said this, everyone almost understood.

The matter is very clear. None of you sitting here are fools, so you can naturally hear it clearly.

It sounds like a competition between three families, with the winner receiving a prize, but in fact it is the imperial court's general survey of cultivators in the world.

"Emperor Dexian is so shrewd in his calculations..."

My cousin muttered something after hearing it nearby.

After Lu Yuanzhi heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly and said seriously:

"Cousin, be careful!"

"The three families work together to find out the truth for the court. Isn't this a good plan?"

At this time, Hai Wuyan stood up boldly to block his cousin, and looked at Lu Yuanzhi calmly:

"Although my cousin's words are not good, she is not wrong. Although my eldest brother is an important minister of the court, he should not be too busy with official duties, so as not to hurt his body."

Two, but two, not incoherent, but it also reflected Hai Wuyang's dissatisfaction with Lu Yuanzhi's reprimanding his cousin.

With Hai Wuhuang protecting her, my cousin naturally became more courageous. She stuck her head out from behind Hai Wuhuang and looked at Lu Yuanzhi unconvinced:

"Yes, yes!"

Lu Yuanzhi looked slightly startled when he saw that the brother and sister actually joined forces to resist him.

Just when he was about to say something, Liu Fengnian suddenly stood up and laughed:

"What do these old things have to do with us now? Let's drink, let me toast you all, and wish us a successful start tomorrow!"

With that said, he poured a glass of wine for everyone and drank the wine in one gulp.

Seeing Liu Fengnian sitting like this, Song Yu over there smiled and said:

"Brother Liu is really huge, so of course we can't show weakness, come on, drink!!"

As he spoke, he also drank the wine in the glass.

Seeing what the two of them had said, Lu Yuanzhi and Hai Wuhuang didn't say much and both drank together.

They drank until midnight before everyone slowly left.

It was already midnight, and Lu Yuanzhi couldn't sleep even after sending everyone back to rest. He simply went to the courtyard and found a chair to lie down on, looking at the starry sky and the bright moon in the night, and gently exhaled the smell of alcohol in his mouth.

"Squeak~squeak~"

The recliner swayed slowly under the blessing of Lu Yuanzhi's aura.

"Master Lu, what's bothering you?"

A gentle voice sounded from the side. Lu Yuanzhi could tell it was Bai Qingying just by listening to his footsteps. He did not look back but waited for Bai Qingying to walk to Jin and said with a smile:

"Miss Bai, there's no need to call me "Sir". I'm actually not that old, so it's no use calling me "Sir".

When Bai Qingying heard Lu Yuanzhi's words, she chuckled, moved a stool and sat next to Lu Yuanzhi:

"I haven't asked Mr. Lu's name yet, so I'm being rude."

Lu Yuanzhi waved his hand and said with a smile:

"It doesn't matter, my real name is Lu, my name is far away, and my nickname is also good. It's so late at night, why doesn't Miss Bai take a rest? What is she doing in this courtyard?"

Bai Qingying's eyes lit up slightly when she heard Lu Yuanzhi's words.

Lu Yuanzhi is good at writing and has a good name.

Although the road is far, we can still walk it.

"Tomorrow is the big competition. I was so excited that I couldn't sleep, so I just went for a walk in the courtyard. I didn't expect it."

Bai Qingying brushed her hair beside her ears and looked at the starry sky:

"It's a coincidence."

Lu Yuanzhi smiled and nodded in agreement:

"It's indeed a coincidence. I would like to wish Miss Bai a great success tomorrow."

When Bai Qingying heard Lu Yuanzhi's words, she smiled bitterly and said:

"Yi Xing, don't laugh at me. How can I advance in the competition with my weak body?"

Hearing Bai Qingying's words, a flash of surprise flashed in Lu Yuanzhi's heart. He really didn't expect Bai Qingying to be so self-aware.

With only an eighth-level cultivation level, she dared to take a group of female disciples all the way from Lingshan Mountain to Wuqi Mountain. Lu Yuanzhi really thought that she couldn't recognize the reality in her heart, but she didn't expect that she actually knew it in her heart. .

Since everyone has opened the skylight and spoken openly, Lu Yuanzhi doesn't need to hide it. He smiled and said:

"Since Miss Bai knows, why do you still come to participate in the competition?"

When Bai Qingying heard Lu Yuanzhi's words, the bitter smile on her face became more intense, and she sighed softly, her tone full of confusion:

"When the Taoist sect's invitation letter arrived at my Lingshan Mountain, the leader of my Lingshan Mountain, Han Zitong, my husband, suddenly died suddenly. Everyone in the sect thought that my concubine was unlucky."

"People's destiny is nothing but empty talk, it's nothing more than a ploy by a coward in the family."

Lu Yuanzhi sneered.

Bai Qingying sighed deeply:

"Although my cultivation level is not high, I still have some talent. No matter who my husband is, since I have married into the Han family, I will naturally protect his inheritance. It is helpless to bring someone to the Taoist sect because of the recommendation of everyone."

"You know you can't do something but you do it. Miss Bai is a woman who doesn't outshine men. I admire you."

Lu Yuanzhi's face showed a serious look, and he looked at Bai Qingying seriously.

"Thank you even if you praise me, but I can't bear to say such harsh things."

Bai Qingying shook her head with a smile, and the bitterness flashed in her eyes.

"I am walking on thin ice so far. Do you think I can make it to the other side?"

Her voice was full of hesitation, confusion and fear about the future. Lu Yuanzhi:...

Sister Bo Bing? ?

Appeared? ?

What a strange smile I have! !

He took a deep breath, trying not to laugh out loud, and said with a faint smile on his face:

"There is wine today and you will be drunk today. Worry will come tomorrow. Miss Bai does not have to make today sad just to worry about tomorrow."

It makes sense, but it's actually just a fart.

After Bai Qingying heard Lu Yuanzhi's words, her eyes lit up:

"It doesn't seem to make sense at first, but upon closer inspection, it turns out that it is, and what you say makes sense."

The corner of Lu Yuanzhi's mouth twitched slightly, and he asked inexplicably:

"May I ask Miss Bai, how long have you known each other when you married Han Zitong?"

Bai Qingying's eyes were slightly confused. She didn't understand why Lu Yuanzhi asked such a question, but it wasn't something that couldn't be said. She thought about it seriously and said:

"More than a month ago, I met you once the other day when I came to propose marriage."

When Lu Yuanzhi heard this, he thought to himself.

He saw it.

Compared to her cousin, Bai Qingying is truly a fool.

However, it is understandable that the main reason why my cousin has not gotten married yet is that the Hai family's teaching style is not harsh, and the uncle is very fond of his daughter, even a little doting on her, so he does not force her very much.

But where in the world are they the same?

When someone in Bai Qingying's family proposed marriage, and he was the leader of the highly respected Lingshan Sect, he naturally agreed.

In other words, Bai Qingying met Han Zitong once during the marriage proposal, and then on the wedding day...

666

This was the most speechless thing about Lu Yuanzhi's marriage to Dayong.

And this kind of wedding is not limited to one family, it can even be said that half of them are like this, the parents' orders, the matchmaker's words...

This was not only true for the feudal dynasty of the previous life, but also for Dayong.

Every feudal dynasty cannot avoid this problem.

"Not long after we got married, my husband suddenly died suddenly. The doctor said it was a secret disease."

Speaking of this, Bai Qingying's eyes became sad.

The saddest thing that can happen to a woman is that her husband dies early, which means that the pillars of the family collapse, leaving him with nothing but a mess.

"Why do you have to carry such a heavy burden on yourself?"

Lu Yuanzhi looked directly at Bai Qingying, his eyes clear and serious:

"Have you never considered remarrying?"

In fact, Dayong did not reject women's remarriage. On the contrary, he supported it, because being widowed meant that there would be no change in this life, and remarriage could increase the country's population.

After hearing Lu Yuanzhi's words, Bai Qingying's eyes were startled at first. After taking a look at Lu Yuanzhi's serious gaze, she hurriedly avoided it like a frightened deer. After a while, a red cloud rose on her face.

Apparently she had misunderstood what Lu Yuanzhi meant.

After a long time, Bai Qingying spoke. This time, her voice was filled with sadness:

"I don't want to let anyone influence my destiny anymore."

After Lu Yuanzhi heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he understood.

Obviously, Bai Qingying was not so easy to let go of the marriage that her parents had casually arranged for her in this life. On the contrary, she was very concerned about it.

She didn't want to experience this fate of being at the mercy of others again.

Lu Yuanzhi smiled and comforted:

"Maybe you will meet a nice man?"

Bai Qingying laughed at herself when she heard Lu Yuanzhi's words. Her eyes were clear, and her beautiful eyes no longer escaped Lu Yuanzhi's. She looked at him seriously for the first time:

"A person like this concubine will never meet someone who truly loves her."

Her expression was calm and indifferent, as if she was not talking about herself:

"I have known since I was a child that my face is considered stunning in the world. All the men who meet me are attracted by my beauty. However, beauty is only the least valuable and cheap value of a woman and can never become a man's favorite thing. .”

"Women like me are often the ones that fate likes to play tricks on."

Hearing Bai Qingying's words, Lu Yuanzhi opened his mouth, but found that he seemed unable to refute.

What Bai Qingying said is true.

All men like her and fall in love with her the first time they see her.

Because of beauty.

Her beauty is so beautiful that it makes people feel suffocated.

But the men who rushed towards her one after another dazzled her, and she couldn't tell which one was sincere and which one was just pretending.

It is possible to find true love by marrying a powerless man.

But that powerless man could not protect her beauty.

This is a very real question.

Her beauty will bring trouble to that ordinary person.

But she wasn't sure whether she could win the sincerity of those powerful people...

This is the saddest part about her.

In other words, it is the saddest reality for women.

"Since ancient times, beauties have had a bad life..."

Seeing that Lu Yuanzhi didn't speak, Bai Qingying smiled. Her smile was very clean. Although it was night, it was as free and easy as the sun.

"Since you can't change it, just choose a good ending. At the very least, you can arrange your own destiny."

Bai Qingying laughed.

The smile is genuine.

"Displaying it is a good thing."

Lu Yuanzhi smiled inexplicably when he saw Bai Qingying's clean and pure eyes.

He felt a quality similar to that of Master Yingchen from Bai Qingying.

It is a pure and clean quality without any impurities.

This quality is rare and valuable.

It's hard to see in this chaotic and turbid world.

"Miss Bai, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, please come to Peiyinlang Yamen in Beijing to find me."

Lu Yuanzhi inexplicably took out a token from his waist. It was a small token with a tiger pattern printed on it, and the word "Lu" in the pattern.

Seeing the token thrown by Lu Yuanzhi, Bai Qingying's eyes were startled, and she was a little confused.

Lu Yuanzhi chuckled. Taking advantage of his drunkenness, he glanced at the white fish belly gradually appearing in the sky in the distance, and said casually:

"It is said that we are destined to meet each other thousands of miles away, but if we are not destined to meet each other, we will not meet each other. Miss Bai's thoughts are similar to mine. It is rare to meet someone who is so communicative. It is fate. Lu wants to make friends with the girl."

"Lu Mou always makes friends as he pleases without worrying about his identity."

When Bai Qingying heard Lu Yuanzhi's words, her eyes became cautious:

"Since Yi Xing values ​​​​my concubine, you will definitely look for me when you come to Lingshan from now on."

Lu Yuan smiled, revealing two rows of big white teeth:

"It's a word."
