Chapter 465 Qingtian Double Meeting
The yellow-faced boy and others looked at each other in confusion. How could they not recognize the young scholar in front of them? He was none other than Tang Yu, the legitimate son of the Tang family in Hengshui City.
In order to cover up the news that he had left Nanping, he deliberately disguised himself as an ordinary caravan. For this reason, he also specially accepted a group of businessmen who really went to Beijing to do business, just to cover himself.
And this Tang Yu is one of them!
The yellow-faced boy will investigate all the people who enter the caravan and their net worth, and there is absolutely nothing suspicious about them. But what he didn't expect was that such a third-rate wealthy businessman's family could have guards with such high martial arts skills!
You must know that the yellow-faced boy has recruited heroes from all over the world in the past few years, and he has not surpassed Lu Hongfei's generation. Today, he discovered such a talent next to an inconspicuous wealthy businessman, and he immediately felt a sense of emotion.
"I would like to thank Mr. Tang for rescuing me, Yue Qianyang!"
The yellow-faced boy looked solemn and was about to kneel down to the scholar.
The scholar in green is naturally Liang Yan who used the secret technique of "Yuanmu Dao" to disguise himself.
In fact, he didn't want to take action at first. This time he changed his appearance and identity just to keep a low profile and sneak into the capital.
When the dozen or so human corpses besieged the caravan, Liang Yan did not act rashly. As far as his consciousness was concerned, he already knew the strength of the yellow-faced boy's group.
Among the subordinates of this yellow-faced boy, the handsome young martial artist named Lu Hongfei has already entered the palace and is capable of fighting against ordinary monks in the middle stage of Qi training; as for the middle-aged scribe with feather fan and silk scarf, he is also at the third level of Qi training. Moreover, with the cooperation of the rough Talisman Dao and the two, ordinary monks in the middle stage of Qi refining are no match for them.
As far as Liang Yan's consciousness was concerned, he already knew the realm of monks behind the bamboo forest, which was only the fifth level of Qi Refining. He thought that Lu Hongfei and Zhou Wen would be able to win if they joined forces.
Unexpectedly, the monk behind the bamboo forest actually had two iron corpses. This was already far beyond what his level should have, and the yellow-faced boy and his gang would definitely not be able to deal with it.
Although Liang Yan was not a Confucian saint, he would not sit back and watch the entire caravan be slaughtered, so he finally let Ah-Dai take action.
He glanced at Yue Qianyang and thought to himself: "Although this yellow-faced boy is polite on the surface, he can't hide the wary look in his eyes. I think he is still wary of me. This Yue Qianyang is still wary of me." I'm afraid Qian Yang's name was also fabricated out of thin air."
However, he didn't intend to get too entangled with this person, so he smiled and stretched out his hand to stop Yue Qianyang who was about to bow down, and said: "Young Master Yue is serious, I am also a member of the caravan, I should take care of it for trivial matters. Contribute.”
Yue Qianyang's face straightened and he said seriously: "Mr. Tang, this may be a trivial matter to you, but to us, it is a major life-related matter. This life-saving grace will be unforgettable by Yue." .”
He turned around and signaled with his eyes, and immediately a guard brought a heavy small box.
"Mr. Tang, here are five hundred taels of gold. I know that Mr. Tang's family is well-off, but this box of gold is also a piece of Yue's heart. Please accept it, Mr. Tang."
Liang Yan glanced at the iron box and knew that if he didn't accept it, it would arouse suspicion. What's more, when I came to Beijing this time, I really needed some secular gold and silver to make connections, so I nodded and ordered Ah-Dai to accept the box.
Yue Qianyang seemed quite happy when he saw Liang Yan accept the offer. He raised his hand and said, "In addition to doing business, will Mr. Tang also attend the 'Qingtian Double Meeting' when he comes to Beijing this time?"
"Qingtian Double Meeting?" Liang Yan's heart was moved, but the expression on his face did not change. He just said lightly: "Tang Mou has been at home for a long time and has never heard of this meeting."
Yue Qianyang chuckled and said, "I didn't expect that Brother Tang was born into a merchant's family, but he could study so diligently. He is really a role model for our generation."
He paused and then said: "Actually, this 'Qingtian Double Meeting' was set up by the emperor of the Liu family. It is held every ten years. The purpose is to recruit talented people and strangers to pray to heaven and extend the emperor's life!"
"It turns out that it was set up by today's emperor, but Tang was ignorant." Liang Yan suddenly said.
Yue Qianyang smiled slightly and said: "Brother Tang is too modest. Mr. Yue has little talent and knowledge, so he likes to ask about these lively and interesting things. In fact, this 'Qingtian Double Meeting' is divided into a 'Water and Land Dharma Meeting' and a 'Tea Tasting Party', both of which are arranged in They were held at the same time a month later, but the content was completely different.”
Liang Yan was aroused by his curiosity, clasped his fists and said, "I would like to hear the details!"
Yue Qianyang nodded and said: "This 'Water and Land Dharma Assembly' is a grand gathering to recruit talented people from the Buddhist and Taoist families to pray for the emperor's longevity. But among the monks and Taoist priests in the world, most of them are swindlers and swindlers, and the real scholars are not There are too few, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false based on Buddhist scriptures and Taoism. Only by fighting on the stage can we distinguish the superior from the inferior. Over time, this 'Water and Land Dharma Meeting' evolved into a martial arts meeting."
When he said this, he paused for a moment and then said: "Moreover, the two families of Buddhism and Taoism have always been fighting for their orthodoxy. In previous years' water and land Dharma gatherings, they often got angry, and occasionally people died!"
Liang Yan couldn't help but smile a little after hearing what he said, and thought to himself: "It seems that they are all low-level Qi-refining cultivators."
Any monk who has the true inheritance and wants to achieve immortality will not easily compete with others. Even if they take action, it will mostly be a battle of interests and chance.
And those who fight because of worldly glory and wealth are basically people with no hope of immortality. Just like Chen Lin, whom he met before practicing Taoism, he was abandoned by his family, had no hope of seeking immortality, and was greedy for worldly pleasures, and finally died. Kou.
"It seems that there is still a lot of risk in this 'water and land ceremony', but I wonder what happened to the 'tea tasting party'?" Liang Yan asked seemingly casually.
Yue Qianyang smiled slightly and said: "The 'Water and Land Dharma Meeting' was a martial arts fight, while this 'Tea Tasting Party' was a literary fight. This party was held by the Suxin Lake in the Imperial Courtyard, and was hosted by the royal princess. Most of the attendees are well-educated Confucians or young talents. They are divided into six arts: piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, poetry, and poetry. Each of them determines the Confucian students of A, B, and C, who are selected for this time."
After hearing this, Liang Yan secretly thought: "The emperor of Yue seems to have great respect for Confucianism. Both Buddhist and Taoist families have to go to the stage to fight life and death, but the Confucian children only need to sip tea and compare their skills by the lake."
Seeing that he was silent, Yue Qianyang continued: "I think Brother Tang is a well-educated man. I have some connections. I can recommend Brother Tang to participate in this 'tea tasting party'. I wonder if you are interested."
Liang Yan felt a little funny in his heart: "We only said a few words, why do you think I am a learned man?"
However, he naturally would not dismantle others. He hesitated for a moment and then said, "In that case, thank you Brother Yue!"
Thanks to Book Friends: Lehuan for another reward.
