When a person suddenly becomes famous, a lot of attention will definitely be paid to him. There is enthusiasm, curiosity, exploration, flattery, jealousy, envy in these eyes... In short, different people, with different thoughts, focus on the cause, and when the time is right, they will gather the results.
Kaiyang City is the remains of the former capital and is magnificent. It is also located in a prosperous place south of the Yangtze River and has been prosperous since ancient times. Smoked willows paint the bridge, cloud trees surround the embankment, all are wonderful scenery. The city is lined with pearls, and the households are filled with beautiful flowers. All are prosperous and peaceful.
The 'Tao Xing Tian Xia' conference was held in this prosperous place. Ten miles east of the woods outside the city, there is a hundred miles of open space. At this time, flags are fluttering and crowds are surging. Today was the first examination. At the venue, the elders of the mountains were not present, only a few examiners were there to maintain order.
"I didn't expect that the girl could directly advance to the finals. It's really amazing." Qing Ruo, wearing a lake-colored dress, followed Yu Tianqing and said with a smile.
Yu Tianqing looked at the people rubbing hands in front of him, and he was also excited in his heart. He smiled and said, "I think starting from the preliminary round is also a kind of training."
"What do you mean, girl?"
Yu Tianqing winked at her and smiled, "I want to try it."
Qing Ruo covered her mouth and smiled and said, "Girl, please stop bullying them." She suddenly pointed to a corner of the conference and said, "Girl, if you are really bored, you might as well try the literary test over there."
"Literary test?" Yu Tianqing opened his eyes wide, "Why is there a literary test in the martial arts competition?"
Qing Ruo explained, "Back then, the elders of the mountains held the 'Tao Xing Tian Xia' conference to select young people with the Tao. There was no requirement whether it was a literary test or a martial test. Later, everyone believed that just studying theory would inevitably lead to a dispute of words, and Martial arts are used for Taoism. If you use martial arts to compete, it can reflect the depth of your cultivation, so there will be a large-scale martial arts test."
Yu Tianqing nodded, "Seniors have far-reaching intentions, I really admire them."
"Girl, let's go over and take a look."
An inconspicuous corner with very few people coming and going. On several desks, there are some collections of classics and history, as well as ordinary introductory Taoist books. There is a strip of red satin surrounding the desk, with the highly symbolic word "literary test" written on it. However, the word "Wenshi" is written with strong force, like a silver hook on an iron painting, and has a strong character. There are also several river lanterns hanging on the side, which have a gentle and gentle temperament in the south of the Yangtze River. There was no one waiting in front of the desk, but not far away, there was a large screen with bamboo leaves painted with a few strokes of thick ink. It looked fresh and pleasant to the eye.
Yu Tianqing was confused, "What does this mean?"
Qing Ruo's eyes were equally puzzled, and she shook her head, "I just heard the elders talk about it, and I haven't paid much attention to it in the past. Forgive me for not knowing."
While the two of them were guessing, a familiar male voice suddenly remembered, "I think the literary test of this 'Tao Xing Tian Xia' conference should be guessing lantern riddles."
Yu Tianqing looked back and saw that the person who came was tall, elegant and honest, and surprisingly it was Peng Zemu.
Yu Tianqing was extremely surprised, "Peng Shaoxia, why is it you?" Then he saw a graceful figure following behind him. The woman's face was beautiful and soft, and her face was full of sunshine. She must be Lu Lian'er.
"Miss Yu, you're welcome. If you don't mind, how about calling me Brother Peng?" Peng Zemu said cheerfully.
Yu Tianqing is also a person who doesn't stick to trivial matters, and immediately said, "Of course that's good, Brother Peng." She then smiled at the girl next to Peng Zemu and said, "Sister-in-law Peng."
Lu Lian'er covered her mouth and smiled softly, with every frown and smile showing the charm of a lady. She was slightly blessed, "Sister Tianqing, be polite."
Yu Tianqing was happy, but also very confused, "Brother Peng, why are you back?"
Peng Zemu laughed and felt very refreshed, "The master of the Green Willow Clan has agreed to my marriage to your sister-in-law. The master hopes that she can return to Jiangnan to wait for the birth."
Lu Lian'er touched her huge belly and said with a smile, "The baby was born just a few days ago."
Yu Tianqing couldn't help but be happy, "That's a great thing!" She thought of the oppression of the miserable state, and immediately said, "The miserable state is too barren. If we can give birth to a child in the water town of Jiangnan, I think the child will also be smart and smart. "
Lu Lian'er smiled and said, "That's exactly the case, but more importantly, we can get the consent and blessings of our parents. Mulang and I are also very relieved."
Yu Tianqing agreed, "As long as the clouds clear and the moon shines, lovers will eventually get married. My little sister, I wish you a happy marriage for a hundred years, and a smart and lucky Lin'er in your belly."
Peng Zemu and his wife were both smiling, "Thank you for your kind words, sister."
While the three of them were talking, four more people came towards them.
The leader said, "Oh my, the literary test this time was changed to a lantern. This is too perfunctory."
Another person sighed, "I really miss the green bamboo wine I had last time. It was pure and refined, like a refreshing sweet spring, which made me forget all my worries."
Suddenly, a man's voice came from behind the screen, "What's the problem? Feng Laixian, after you finish answering the questions, I'll just treat you to a drink."
Feng Laixian laughed, "Great, great."
It turned out that the chief officer of the literary examination was sitting behind the screen.
Yu Tianqing only felt that the other party's voice was gentle and gentle, as if he had heard it somewhere.
Lu Lian'er said, "Mu Lang, don't let them steal our lanterns."
Peng Zemu smiled and said, "Then I will do my part."
He moved his body slightly, spotted a crimson lotus and took it down. There was a note placed at the wick. Peng Zemu took it out and it read: What is Tao?
The layman listening to the sound on the side said in surprise, "It's not a lantern riddle, but an essay question. Interesting, interesting."
Feng Laixian said hurriedly, "Then I'll get one too." He flipped through the air, took one, and opened the wick note.
Hu Buyi hurriedly came over and read, "What is Tao?...Huh? Why are the titles exactly the same."
Master Ziyang said abruptly, "It's really unnecessary. Of course the questions are all the same. Otherwise, how can we tell the difference between right and wrong?"
Feng Laixian glared at him, "If you knew, why didn't you tell me earlier."
Master Ziyang said leisurely, "A wise man is not in a hurry, but a man in a hurry is unwise."
It was like knocking over a whole boat with one stroke, and the other three people were immediately gearing up.
Peng Zemu laughed and said, "Four seniors, it's just a small test, why bother getting angry."
Lu Lian'er also smiled. "The four seniors are still as fond of joking as before."
I heard another voice coming from behind the screen, "The questions are all the same. The river lantern is just a little thought of mine. Everyone, you might as well start answering."
Tingyin layman chuckled and said, "You are still as considerate as ever."
Feng Laixian stroked the mustache at the corner of his mouth, glanced at Ziyang Zhenren meaningfully, and said, "We might as well listen to what the wise man said first."
Hu Buyi agreed, "That makes sense."
Everyone's eyes immediately fell on Master Ziyang.
Master Ziyang's expression was normal. He brushed off Daochen and took a step forward. "I'll do it. I'll do it."
