Under Qingning City, Qingyun Gate slowly opened.
This is the gate for those who want to solve the problem to enter the city. The ground is paved with blue bricks. Due to the design, it shows a gentle upward slope, which means "the blue clouds go straight up".
The carriage moved slowly, and Mastiff Lingling really drove the carriage past the Qingyun Gate as if he were an old servant accompanying him.
A young man in green clothes was standing behind the Qingyun Gate. When he saw the carriage approaching, he stepped forward and bowed solemnly: "Mr. Cui's son Fuling has met Mr. Liu. The master of the house is waiting outside the door. Please follow me."
"There are Fusu in the mountains, and lotus flowers in the sky. If you don't see Zidu, you will see Kuangqie." In the carriage, Yun Siyao softly chanted and explained to Chen Luo, "The Cui family has been passed down to this generation, and it is the turn of the "Book of Songs" The poem 'The Mountain Has Fusu' is a generational name, and the head of the family is the generation with the character 'you'. This generation with the character 'fu' is the direct descendant of the Cui family."
The three poems break the title. The Cui family opens the main door. The head of the family leaves the house and waits nine steps. The direct descendants serve as the guide boys. This is a gift.
In this kind of etiquette, the Cui family of a thousand-year-old family would not make any mistakes.
Chen Luo bowed his hands slightly on the carriage, and Cui Fuling returned the salute before walking in front to lead the way.
"Senior sister, when you meet the Cui family, will you directly ask about the Hungry Ghost Dao?" Chen Luo asked softly. He came to Qingning City this time to investigate the assassination of the Hungry Ghost Dao in Leya.
After all, there were traces of the Cui family on that hungry ghost.
"Of course!" Lang Feixian yawned, "You don't care about life and death. If you don't give us a satisfactory answer, you will tear down his plaque!"
Yun Siyao rolled his eyes at Lang Feixian: "Elder brother, have you forgotten Cui Shanque?"
"Huh? That old guy is still alive?" Lang Feixian was stunned, shrugged, and looked at Chen Luo, "Junior brother, don't waste time!"
Chen Luo looked at Lang Feixian.
Senior brother, what's wrong with you?
If you are snatched away, just blink!
You actually told me not to wander!
Chen Luo looked at Yun Siyao: "Senior sister, who is that Jishan Que?"
"He's a fierce man!" Lang Feixian answered first, "Even though he's a senior, that's because he's younger. His actual age is already... Let me do the math... Huh? Three hundred and eight years old! That's not right. Everyone in the Confucian sect, who has not entered the holy level, even if he takes the Jiazi fruit, he will only have three hundred years of life if he dies, and he is still alive?"
Yun Siyao nodded: "I have verified it in many ways along the way. Although Cui Shanque has not shown up for nearly a month, there are many signs that he is indeed still alive."
"The saints' sects passed down from ancient times have some methods of extending life. It is not difficult to live for another twenty or thirty years."
Lang Feixian then nodded in agreement and looked at Chen Luo: "Do you know who was the most promiscuous person in the human race before me?"
"Cui Shanque?" Chen Luo asked tentatively.
"No, it's Cui Shanque's son, Cui Youdao!"
"Ahem...Cui Youdan's real name is Cui Youqi. Cui Youdan is a nickname. That senior, a talented scholar, went to Mantian, saying that he wanted to kidnap a barbarian girl and come back as a maid."
"Everyone thought he was joking, but he actually went there, broke into the Mantian Palace, and kidnapped a maid from the Mantian Palace!"
Speaking of this, Lang Feixian showed a look of admiration on his face: "It's so romantic, you are a role model for our generation!"
"Then what?" Chen Luo asked curiously.
"Then he was ordered to be hunted down by the Mantian Palace!" Yun Siyao said lightly. "In order to save his son, Cui Shanque, who had always been unknown among the great scholars, walked out of the study and killed three barbarian kings with one against three, and then took his son with him. Escaped from Mantian under the tracking of Manji."
"By the way, we brought back the barbarian girl who kidnapped his son."
After Yun Siyao finished speaking, Lang Feixian sighed again: "You are a role model for our generation!"
Chen Luo couldn't tell for a moment whether this role model meant breaking into the barbarian world in the master realm or kidnapping the barbarian girl back.
"The matter of the Hungry Ghost Path involves the war between Confucianism and Buddhism and the reputation of the last half-sage of the Cui family. It is best to find a private place to ask. This is why I asked you to participate in the city entry question."
Chen Luo looked surprised: "Ah, isn't it because of that Shi Lezhi?"
Yun Siyao glared at Chen Luo: "That's nonsense! In your opinion, senior sister will go to war over such a trivial matter?"
"That's just a small and inconspicuous factor!"
Yun Siyao said, gracefully stroking the black hair beside his ear.
…
Cui Youdu, the head of the Cui family, stood in front of the Cui Mansion, watching his eldest son Cui Fuling slowly lead a carriage and straighten his clothes.
Logically speaking, even if the other party failed the three entrance questions set by the Cui family in a row, the Cui family, as a former saint and now a wealthy family, would already treat them with great courtesy by opening the middle gate, and there was no need for him, the head of the family, to greet them. .
But there is no way, that person's identity is different.
Although according to the rules, he couldn't go to the city gate, it didn't mean that he didn't know what was happening outside the city gate.
Cui Youdu naturally knew who that person was.
However, if someone doesn't want to reveal his identity, he won't reveal it stupidly, but he still has to follow the proper etiquette.
Cui Fuling walked up to Cui Youdu and saluted: "Father, the distinguished guest has arrived."
Cui Youdu nodded slightly and walked to the car: "Cui Youdu, the head of the Cui family in Qingning, welcomes your distinguished guest. The distinguished guest's three poems have broken the title and the culture is soaring. I, the Cui family, are as honored as you."
"Please come into the house and discuss the meaning of the Great Dao."
Chen Luo couldn't hold it at this time, so he got down from the carriage, stood upright, and bowed to Cui Youdu: "Thank you, Master Cui, come out to greet you. With three entrance questions, Liu knows that the sea of learning is boundless, and he is here today. Please also invite Cui Youdu." I don’t hesitate to teach you.”
The answer to this question has long been determined, so there is no room for carelessness.
After the ceremony, the atmosphere naturally became harmonious. Cui Youdu greeted Chen Luo and walked to the Cui Mansion. Lang Feixian, Yun Siyao and others also got off the carriage and followed behind. Other elders of the Cui Mansion came up to receive them.
The group of people walked through the flower corridor and the garden until they came to the meeting hall of Cui Mansion. They sat down respectively as host and guest. After drinking tea to welcome guests, Cui Youdu finally got to the point.
"Young Master Liu, to be honest, I, Mrs. Cui, set up the entry question because I have something to deal with at home, and I don't want those young people looking for limelight to come and disturb me. I didn't expect that your Excellency would break it."
"According to the rules set by Wenchang Pavilion, whoever solves the problem of entering the city has the right to appoint any one of my Cui family to discuss it with you. Three questions will last three days." After saying that, Cui Youdu took out a jade slip from his sleeve. , handed it to Chen Luo, "This is the list of Cui's disciples currently in the mansion. The lowest is a fourth-grade preacher, and the highest is a second-grade scholar."
"I wonder who I would like to discuss with?"
Chen Luo took the Cui family's famous genealogy with both hands and focused his attention on the jade slip. Whenever his mind fell on a name, he could know who he studied under, what scriptures he studied, and what writings and discussions he had on the way of learning. , and some discussion processes that are more distinctive than others.
The background of the saint's family in the past can be glimpsed from this name list.
It's just that Chen Luo has no interest in those classics at all. He scanned these names one by one, trying to find even a little bit of traces about the path of hungry ghosts or Buddhism, but he couldn't see any flaws at all.
Looking at the bloodline of Semi-Saint Cui Hao, it has now been thousands of years. Almost 60% of the characters on this jade slip can trace their bloodline back to the saint.
Let’s try the negotiation method.
Chen Luo glanced at Yun Siyao pretending to be casual.
"Master Cui." Yun Siyao naturally received Chen Luo's message and understood that there was no clue in the list of jade slips, so he stood up and gave a slight blessing to Cui Youdu. Cui Youdu subconsciously wanted to stand up and return the gift, but was stopped by Yun Si Yao stopped him, "My brother doesn't go out much and doesn't have much experience. Can you let me watch for you?"
"Of course you can, of course you can!" Cui Youdu nodded quickly. Of course it couldn't be done originally, but it's Mr. Zhulin Liu, so of course he can.
Chen Luo handed the jade slip to Yun Siyao. Yun Siyao looked at it and sighed: "There is no one who is similar to my brother. The Cui family should stop thinking about whether there is anyone missing from the list." !”
With that said, he handed the jade slip back to Cui Youqi. Cui Youqi smiled bitterly and said, "Miss Liu is joking, everyone in the house..." Halfway through his words, Cui Youqi took the jade slip, his face suddenly changed, and he looked at Yun Siyao.
"What's wrong? Did you remember some senior who was not on the list?" Yun Siyao asked.
Cui Youqi's face turned red and white, a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes, and then returned to normal. He glanced at the people sitting in the hall, as well as the Li and Lu families who came to watch the ceremony, and said with a smile: "When the girl said this, I remembered an uncle who devoted himself to learning."
"But that elder has not been involved in secular affairs for many years. If you don't mind, please rest in the guest room first. I need to report this matter first."
Yun Siyao looked at Chen Luo, who hurriedly said: "It's okay, I'm also tired along the way. It's time to take a rest and regain my energy before visiting my senior."
Cui Youdu nodded, and quickly called Cui Fuling to arrange a resting place for Chen Luo and his party, while he walked towards the backyard of Cui Mansion with a solemn expression.
…
"Brother, don't you just arrange someone to send them away? Why did you change your mind?" In the backyard, another Cui family scholar asked in confusion.
The other great scholars of the Cui family also nodded slightly.
"Feel it yourself!"
Cui Youdu handed the jade slip in his hand to everyone. The Cui family scholar who spoke first stretched out his hand to take it, felt it, and said in surprise: "My Cui family's sage power!"
It turns out that just now Yun Siyao used the excuse to mention Chen Luo to choose a great scholar, but in fact he secretly printed a copy of the Holy Power of the Cui family that he extracted from Hungry Ghost Dao on a jade slip. This holy power is inherited from the ancestors of the Cui family and cannot be faked. The Cui family can naturally feel it instantly.
"this……"
"I'm just wondering why this Wuhou suddenly came to Qingning City. I'm afraid it's for this reason."
"Then... what should we do?" A great scholar frowned, "This matter... ah..."
Cui Youdu hesitated for a moment: "This Marquis Wu borrowed the title of entering the city to meet us, and used such a covert method to express his intention. He has already left a mark on the reputation of my Cui family."
"You all know what you need to do to extract the holy power from the Lord of Six Paths!"
Everyone was silent.
What do I have to do? war!
It seems that one of the six masters has approached Wuhou. Ultimately, it was destroyed.
"Let the uncle decide on this matter whether we see him or not, whether he talks about it or not!" Cui Youdu finally said.
"No matter what the outcome is, I, the Cui family, have thousands of years of culture, and I will just accept it."
The great scholars of the Cui family looked at each other, and finally nodded. They took out metal fragments of different shapes from their bodies and handed them to Cui Youdu. Cui Youdu took out the largest fragment from the storage order on his body and handed it to Cui Youdu. The fragments were put together to form a strange and complicated key...
"Open a family prison!"
