Something else? Qingyun Palace, in the bedroom.
Yu Yu's red and white Taoist robe was casually draped on the chair, and he was lying on the bed.
There was a pillow between his legs, and his upper body was propped up on his elbows. His small white porcelain face stared blankly at the talisman spread out on the bed in front of him. .
She turned the brush on the fingertips of her right hand in a circle and asked:
[Are you buying information this time, or hiring this saint as a bodyguard? 】
After writing it, I probably felt that the tone was too weak to reflect the strength of my identity, so I added the word "ha".
A few seconds later, Ji Pingan sent a reply:
[No, I want to talk to your master and discuss something.]
Yu Yu's eyes widened and he re-examined this passage word by word, still feeling that he had read it wrong.
[Yu: Are you kidding? Or crazy? At what level is my master able to talk to a little Sichen like you? 】
She felt that Ji Ping'an's request was too outrageous.
But after writing this line, she suddenly remembered the last time she went to seek advice with the "advice" Ji Ping'an wrote to her. As a result, the master had a slightly unusual attitude, and she couldn't help but think about it.
Is Ji Ping'an stupid?
She has seen that guy scheming people. Well, although he is a little bit behind her in terms of intelligence...but he is definitely not stupid.
It’s not like he’s here specifically to make jokes.
Combined with Master's performance last time, could it be possible that the two parties had indeed crossed paths without her knowing?
But how could it be?
It's like someone saying that His Majesty the God Emperor has an extraordinary relationship with a haggis vendor selling haggis in the city of God. It's too outrageous.
[Ji: You just need to hand over the talisman and say that I have something to talk to the headmaster. Whether it succeeds or fails, you will be counted as helping me once. Well, as a reward, I can give you some written guidance afterwards]
It sounded like he was confident... Yu Yu was shaken and showed hesitation.
Wait...can I lie to him?
After a while, he said that the master ignored him and that he was a prostitute for nothing?
This thought arose, and then sank again. It wasn't that she didn't want to trick him, but if there was something important, it wouldn't be good to delay it.
Well, it doesn't matter if it delays Ji Ping'an, but it would be bad if it delays Master's major events and plans.
Thinking of this, she replied reluctantly:
【good】
Then he jumped out of bed, raised his finger and hooked it, and the Taoist robe flew off the chair. He quickly put on his coat, stepped on his boots, and walked towards the Silent Garden.
There were not many lights in the Silent Garden at night, and most of them were shrouded in the light of the stars and moon. Only lanterns hung in the corridors.
The only room was bright, and the window paper reflected the shadow of the female headmaster.
"Master." Yu Yuren spoke before he arrived, and then opened the door.
He looked at Xin Yaoguang who was sitting cross-legged and meditating in the room.
The gorgeous feather coat is draped on the brown floor, the lotus crown on the head is crystal clear, the posture is elegant, the Kundao goose neck with refined temperament is slender, and the fairy spirit is floating, which will open the slender red phoenix eyes, and the tone is a little helpless:
"If you're going to write an article and you're going to hear about it, then there's no need."
"..." Yu Yu said aggrievedly:
"In your eyes, can't I do anything serious other than sharing new things?"
Xin Yaoguang thought about it carefully and wanted to say that it seemed not, but held it back.
As if he wanted to prove himself, Yu Yu took out the folded talisman and expressed his intention:
"Ji Ping'an said that I have something to report to you alone. You don't have to talk to him, right?"
It's him... Xin Yaoguang was slightly surprised, her bright autumn eyes blinked, and the talisman appeared in her hand.
Yu Yu: "..."
She was suddenly shocked and felt that her master was favoring others behind her back.
Especially after Xin Yaoguang said, "You go outside and wait first." The saint opened her mouth, but didn't say anything after all, and walked out of the room with a deserted figure.
Xin Yaoguang smiled, deliberately treating the female apprentice
The "drama queen" shows a clear understanding of the situation.
Shaking her head, she opened the talisman paper with her slender fingers and wrote with a pointing pen:
【What do you want from me? 】
Two seconds later, text appeared on the opposite side:
[Please prove your identity]
Xin Yaoguang was startled and his eyes became a little strange. Was he worried that Yu Yu was cheating?
Well, I'm being cautious... But, how many years has it been since anyone dared to use this tone to "self-identify"?
The fairy-like female head teacher was slightly absent-minded, and unexpectedly found that she was not angry.
Well, after all, you are a disciple of an old friend and cannot bear to see the Buddha in front of a monk. I will forgive you for this rudeness for the time being.
She thought and entered text:
[That day, I appeared on the big stone bridge]
After three breaths, Ji Pingan sent a message:
【Meet the headmaster】
Looking at these four words, the corners of Xin Yaoguang's mouth curled up slightly, feeling that this method of communication was quite interesting.
【What's the matter? 】
[Ji: That’s it…]
After burning the incense, Yu Yu was summoned into the room, and returned to the bedroom with a blank talisman and confusion.
Nothing to say that night.
The next day, news of the cultural meeting began to spread to a wider area in Shendu.
Including the five major sects, as well as the upper echelons of the imperial court, they have put their energy into the upcoming Grand Prize in the City of Gods and the Lu Ming Banquet to warm up for the grand prize.
…
On the third day, in the evening, the sky was filled with red clouds.
Ji Ping'an stood in the bedroom, looked at himself in the bronze mirror, and adjusted Si Chen's official robe.
After confirming that nothing was missing, he opened the door and entered the courtyard. He said to Huang He, who was also neatly dressed and waiting at the door:
"Let's go."
Tonight, the deer roaring banquet is about to begin.
Qin Tianjian had already issued a notice that each major branch would select some people to go, not just the contestants.
Just like in the teams of various sects, most people will not go into battle to participate in the grand prize. Many people come to observe and gain knowledge.
There were few people in Muyuan, and in the end, only Xu Xiurong led the team and led several disciples there.
The two of them did not go to the Four Seasons Pavilion, but walked straight towards the West Linbi. When they arrived, they saw people attending the banquet from various courtyards gathering.
The two supervisors, Li Guofeng and Huang Chen, also wore brand-new official robes and stood in front of the crowd.
Surrounded by Luo Huaizhu, Wang Xian and others.
As for Bai Chuan and Fang Liuhuo, they will not attend the banquet today, but will stay in Qintian Prison.
"coming?"
Xu Xiurong called the two of them over and warned:
"Follow me closely later and don't wander around. Many princes and ministers will be present at today's dinner. You don't understand the complicated etiquette. Just watch more and talk less."
The Luming Banquet is quite large. Of course, people of the same level as the God Emperor, Xin Yaoguang, and Qi Hongmian will not attend.
It is only possible to briefly appear when receiving the Grand Prize in the City of Gods.
Ji Ping'an didn't say anything. In his previous life, he was limited by his status and had never participated in the Deer Ming Banquet. This was the first time in his previous life.
At this time, a group of star officers walked out of the gate, boarded the carriage respectively, and the entire convoy rushed towards the destination.
…
At the same time, the dinner guests from other sects had also set off.
Inside Yunhuai Bookstore.
Han Qingsong put on a brand new robe, took out his cherished jade pendant and hung it on his waist, looking at the handsome young man with red lips and white teeth in the mirror with satisfaction.
Turning around and opening the door, he happened to see Qin Leyou also opening the door and walking out in the same corridor next door.
As a talented person who describes himself as a romantic "libertine", Qin Leyou has a tall figure, a more angular face, slightly loose clothes, and a three-foot green waist, making him more like a prodigal than a scholar. swordsman.
"Alas." Qin Leyou looked at the former for a moment and suddenly sighed.
Han Qingsong looked at himself doubtfully:
"Is there something wrong with my clothes?"
Qin Leyou shook his head and said with regret:
"Junior brother, it would be great if you were a woman. Unfortunately, you are the leader."
Han Qingsong's face twitched, and he was hit by a sword from the scabbard. Qin Leyou quickly dodged it, looking extremely familiar with it.
"Okay, don't fight anymore."
Suddenly Master Zhang's voice came, and the two stopped their movements and walked respectfully.
A scholar from the famous Sophora Academy gathered in the courtyard. He was elegant and easy-going. The master with a goat's beard stood in the front and gave instructions on what to pay attention to during the dinner.
"Master, have you found the talented man who revised the poem?" After the instructions were completed, Han Qingsong couldn't help but ask.
The other disciples also cast longing glances.
After the Japanese literature meeting, everyone tried to find Ji Pingan to no avail, so they had to return with regrets.
In the past two days, a group of scholars spent the whole day admiring the poems. The more they chewed on them, the more they felt that the completed sentences were really exquisite, as if they were the original sentences.
He also became more and more curious about the "Completer".
Master Zhang's mood was more complicated, because compared to other scholars, he was the one who really passed by them.
Although Xueting and other great scholars from the Hanlin Academy were later asked to search for it, it had only been two days and no results had yet been obtained.
"Not found yet." Master Zhang shook his head with a regretful tone.
He immediately cheered up and said:
"The Shendu Grand Prize is coming soon. Although poems and essays are good, you should know your priorities. Today's dinner is a gathering of geniuses from all major schools. It can be said to be a preview of the grand prize. Don't let our academy's reputation be ruined."
A group of scholars hold their chests high in awe, scholars, they want to be proud.
Master Zhang nodded with satisfaction and led all his disciples to the White Deer Garden.
…
The Deer Ming Banquet was held in a courtyard called "White Deer Garden" in Shendu.
It is said that the name was given by the Imperial Master, and it is a beautiful garden courtyard.
"According to the rules of previous years, the dinner party will be divided into two parts. At first, the major factions will meet, and the royal family sent by the imperial court will host it. It will generally be a friendly conversation. If there is no accident, the person hosting today is the Duke of Lu."
Inside the carriage.
Xu Xiurong looked at the scenery moving backwards outside the fluttering car curtains and said:
"There won't be any conflicts during this period. After all, the martial arts performance has ended. If we want to compete with real swords and guns next, we have to put it in the grand prize. Of course, we can also discuss with each other if we want."
"But those who participate in the grand prize will generally not participate, so there is no reason to reveal their strength in advance. It doesn't matter to the other disciples who are unable to participate.
"After the banquet, there will be palace singing and dancing, and then the "elders" of the five sects will go to an inner hall alone to sit down and discuss the specific content and arrangements of the grand prize. This part is the key to today, and it involves a little bit. The last whole competition session.
"This is also the reason why I haven't publicly told you the rules of the Grand Prize yet. Every year is slightly different. We can't come up with a charter until we have completed our discussions.
"During our discussion, it is a time for disciples from various sects to communicate freely. Whether it is chatting or getting acquainted, you can make your own arrangements. If you do not want to participate, then it is also good to sit in your own seat and eat and drink.
"Today's dinner was prepared by the royal chef in the palace, and a lot of good ingredients were purchased..."
When Xu Xiurong talked about this section, Mu Yaoyao in the carriage patted her belly with her little hands and said excitedly:
"I didn't even eat lunch, I'm just waiting for this meal!"
Shame on you!
At this moment, Xu Xiurong suddenly regretted taking her with him. This foodie was such a sucker.
Ji Ping'an feels that this should be the case. For the sake of dignity and elegance, go to the banquet after eating? It was also an option, but he didn't like it.
…
As he spoke, the carriage slowed down slowly and arrived at White Deer Park.
A group of people began to get out of the car one after another, and saw the Imperial Guards in uniform and tough armor at the entrance of the courtyard. After verifying their identities, Qin Tianjian and his party stepped into the garden.
What you see is clusters of flowers, bamboo groves and cypresses, strange rocks and flowing water, pavilions and pavilions.
In ancient buildings, there are busy servants and maids coming and going. At this time, the sky is getting dark, and the red lanterns are shining.
Hanging all over the garden.
The main venue for the banquet was an antique palace, with hundreds of lanterns hanging on the long corridor, reflecting the splendor and splendor.
Walking into the spacious hall, I saw food tables placed on the hardwood floor, scattered on both sides, and the curtains in the building were light and dancing with the wind.
The dining room is divided into different areas with yellow flower wood railings, and a knitted carpet is laid in the middle, leaving a very spacious space.
There were not many people in the hall, only a group of courtiers headed by Duke Lu at the main seat.
And on the right side of the grid closest to the main seat, sat the Taoist monk of the State Religion who arrived earlier.
As the "hosts", Daomen and Qintianjian will arrive first, while the other three sects will arrive later.
"Let's go, our location is opposite the Taoist Gate." Xu Xiurong whispered.
A group of star officials, led by Li Guofeng, slowly took their seats. There was a spacious aisle and two layers of curtains across the door.
The people on the other side of the Daomen were chatting in low voices, but now they all looked at him.
Ji Ping'an noticed that the leader was a slender old man wearing a blue Taoist robe. It was Chen Daoling, the Taoist elder.
Beside him, there were two other elder-level figures, namely a scroll elder wearing black robes and having silver hair.
And the elder Shenfu, who was wearing an apricot-yellow Taoist robe, holding a whisk and closing his eyes to rest.
The Taoist sect refers to itself as the largest sect in Kyushu and has a very deep foundation. Only some of the elders attending the banquet this time.
In contrast, among the seats of Taoist disciples, two figures stood out the most.
One is the "saint girl" Yu Yu, who is wearing a red and white Taoist robe, with skin as white as porcelain, black hair shawl, and a proud and indifferent temperament. At this moment, she is sitting upright with her eyes drooping, which is awe-inspiring. No one can see this posture. , I also want to say "worthy of a saint of the state religion"!
The second one was a man wearing a Tai Chi Bagua robe, with his back to everyone... His long hair was flowing, and his clothes were fluttering. At this moment, the back of his head was slightly raised, and his "eyes" first stopped on Luo Huaizhu's face, and then moved away. The area where Xiangmuyuan is located is fixed on Ji Ping'an.
The back of my head was burning, and I was "looking" up and down.
"Senior Brother, look, that person is so weird." Mu Yaoyao whispered.
"Sir, he seems to be... uh." Huang He wanted to say "looking at us", but felt that this description was not rigorous.
Ji Ping'an looked away from outside the palace.
No one knew that from the moment he stepped into this place, the power from the "Star Officer" made him clearly aware of the vague prying eyes directed at him.
The danger is indeed here!
He turned back calmly, pretending to be looking around curiously. Then he heard the two people beside him muttering, and turned his head to "look at each other" at the back of the head in the distance.
He couldn't help but be stunned.
At the same time, the talisman in his arms was vibrating. He looked at Yu Yu and found that the saint's eyes were lowered, as if she was meditating.
Ji Ping'an took out the talisman paper, and with the help of the table, he sat upright, his eyes lowered, and actually unfolded the paper with both hands.
The words slowly emerged.
