In the Tiandu Imperial City, there are several restaurants, which are famous, and "Star Picking Tower" is one of them.

The Star Picking Building was wrapped up in a whole restaurant today.

can make such a big deal, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, in addition to the royal magnates, there are only big people of the level of the Holy Son of the Academy.

Qingjun chartered the Star Picking Tower today, and invited the newly enthroned Pope in Xiling, as well as the young genius cultivators of the other three academies, to come to the Star Picking Tower to talk together.

Gu Cang and Zhongli both agreed to this invitation, and the Pope did not refuse, but took such a time out of his busy schedule.

The disciples of the four academies have already come to the Star Picking Tower.

Gu Cang and Zhong Li came a little late, and when they came to the top floor of the Star Picking Tower, they had already seen a black-robed woman with a hat, and a huge piano case stood beside her, and the veil of the hat was hanging down, and she couldn't see her true face clearly.

Jean-kun.

"Slow down...... Rare guests, distinguished guests. Gu Cang smiled and found a seat, so he chose next to the slow voice, and not far away, he said softly: "How is Miss Qin lately?"

Under the black veil, the voice of the face that could not be seen clearly was slow, and he slowly picked up a cup of tea, lifted a corner of the veil, and sipped it gently, not caring at all Gu Cang, who had a very high status in the eyes of outsiders and was ranked among the four gentlemen of the heavenly capital.

Gu Cang smiled slightly, he was bored, and he was not annoyed, and continued: "It is said that the White Deer Cave Academy does not fight or grab, and can invite Miss Qin over...... Qingjun's face is really big. ”

Slowly, he put the teacup back on the table, without saying a word.

Gu Cang had a hint of depression in his eyes, and said self-deprecatingly: "It seems that Qingjun's face is a little bigger than mine." ”

Not long ago, Songyang Academy also invited four academies to a banquet, and it was also in the Star Picking Tower.

However, White Deer Cave Academy received the invitation and did not respond.

Not a single figure could be seen.

Zhongli raised his eyebrows, he knew that Gu Cang had always had a certain attitude towards this Qinjun girl from the White Deer Cave Academy, but it was a pity that people were bent on asking, and they had always ignored his invitation.

I don't look down on this Cangjun at all.

The voice is slow and with a hat, and the face under the veil is extremely mysterious, and it is said that he was born very good-looking...... There is no doubt about this, the female disciples of the White Deer Cave Academy are very good-looking.

Before becoming the great gentleman of Songyang Academy, Gu Cang had fought with Shengsheng slowly, and was fortunate to see Fangrong, and since then, he has begun to stalk and fight, and the elders of the two academies have all played a role in this, and the matter has been in a uproar.

In the end, the voice was slow and closed the door.

Gu Cang was helpless.

Gu Cang's cultivation is not bad, and he bears the reputation of the great gentleman of Tiandu, but he can't look down on his slow voice.

When he saw it today, he couldn't help but want to say something.

"Brother Gu, please respect yourself. ”

The face under the veil of the hat did not wave, and he spoke slowly and calmly, his eyes seemed to glance at Gu Cang, and said, "I am here today for His Holiness the Pope, and I have no other meaning. ”

Zhongli squinted his eyes and crossed his arms happily, waiting to see a good show.

"In a few days, Songyang Academy will also have a banquet for the Pope, or in this star-picking building. Gu Cang took a deep breath and said seriously, "Miss Qin, would you like to show face?"

He didn't raise his head slowly, and said lightly: "This time I see the Pope, I am going into retreat...... Good luck to Brother Gu and good relations with His Holiness the Pope. ”

"You ......" Gu Cang's complexion changed slightly, his eyes were a little gloomy, and he sighed after all.

Even if you are diligent and dedicate yourself in a thousand ways, if people don't like it, they don't like it.

He Gu Cang is also a figure who holds the moon among the stars, in order to be slow, he has lost face in front of everyone and broken his heart, why bother with these again?

Gu Cang shook his head lightly, thinking of what his master said.

"It's better to be single-minded. ”

Miss Qin only wants to pursue the Great Dao, and he can do it too.

Before the arrival of the Tiandu Dynasty, Gu Cang would defeat all the enemies in front of him and walk at the forefront of the avenue.

Thinking of this, Dao Xin no longer hesitated.

Gu Cang exhaled a breath of turbidity.

"After all this time, why hasn't Qingjun come yet?"

Zhongli also frowned, feasting on the VIPs, the four academies are on an equal footing, as the master, he should have arrived at the Star Picking Tower earlier, why hasn't he shown up yet?

His Holiness the Pope is busy, and the linen-robed Taoist on the side has already apologized to the three great gentlemen, and it may be a little later.

In today's feast, Pope Chen Yi is the protagonist.

After a while, a white wooden carriage stopped under the Star-Picking Tower, and His Holiness the Pope got out of the carriage and ascended to the Star-Picking Tower.

Here comes the main character.

The two great gentlemen of the academies in Songyang and Yuelu lit up and greeted the Pope to his seat.

Between the academy and the Taoist sect, although it is located in a remote area, one is in the Tiandu at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and the other is outside the Xiling Mountains, but there is an inseparable relationship between the two.

The Taoist sect covers the entire Great Sui world.

The Buddhism in the East is not prosperous, does not leave home, and spreads to less than the four realms, sticking to a region of the East Land, while the teachings of Taoism cover a vast territory.

If the academy wants to go further, it must maintain a good cooperative relationship with the Taoist sect.

Regarding the co-optation and convergence of the academy and Taoism, as well as some tedious things that need to be done to implement them below, these are the contents of today's banquet.

The young leaders of the three academies, including the slow voice, all started talking to Chen Yi shortly after they took their seats.

Time passes imperceptibly.

"Then in the eighteen cities, including Yongling City, poor people, under the age of fourteen, as long as they meet the conditions, can go to the academy to receive education. Chen Yi said softly and seriously: "These silver taels, I will allocate them from the Sanqing Pavilion, and in return, I hope that the academy can take a step back and collect less silver taels from the Taoist sect." ”

Gu Cang and Zhongli glanced at each other, still hesitating with each other.

The eighteen cities, including Yongling City in the Great Sui Dynasty, are located in the middle of nowhere, close to southern Xinjiang, and this is not a small number.

"The White Deer Cave Academy will assist the Pope. He said in a slow voice and firmly: "There are still many children in the Great Sui who can't afford to read. This part of the silver taels, the academy will help it get rid of it. ”

When Gu Cang heard this, he no longer hesitated, and said seriously: "Songyang Academy seconded the proposal, and is willing to subsidize the Pope and contribute a meager contribution to Southern Xinjiang." ”

Zhongli sighed, and when it was time for him to express his position, the two great gentlemen in front of him were so resolute that they couldn't tolerate him being false and wronged, so they could only nod their heads in agreement.

The Pope breathed a sigh of relief.

The matter is settled.

He rubbed his eyebrows, and suddenly said with some doubts: "What about Qingjun?"

It has been an hour since I arrived at the Star Picking Tower.

The matter of cooperation between the Taoist sect and the academy has been discussed for a long time.

Qingjun hasn't arrived yet?

Gu Cang and Zhongli's faces were also not good-looking.

That's a bit of a no-brainer.

The Pope was invited, and the other three gentlemen of the academy were also invited.

Late to the day?

What does that mean?

With a hint of sarcasm, he said, "Maybe Qingjun encountered some problems when he was practicing, and he forgot the time under the Qingshan Mansion...... This is a common occurrence. ”

The voice fell, and outside the top floor of the Star Picking Tower, someone knocked lightly on the door.

The Pope frowned, looked at the young disciple of Ying Tianfu who bowed respectfully to the three great gentlemen after knocking on the door, and said in a trembling voice: "Everyone...... Lord Qingjun, I may not be able to come today. ”

Gu Cang sneered: "Can't come? He really thinks that he is invincible in the sky? Invited me to wait, and the Pope, he set up a shelf by himself, for an hour, he didn't even see a figure, and now he can't come with a fluttering sentence, what does this mean?"

That disciple of Ying Tianfu, seeing Cangjun's attitude, his whole brain was blank, and he didn't know what to say.

Zhongli was not anxious, he signaled the other party not to be nervous, and asked with a smile, "What happened to Qingjun?"

Ying Tianfu disciple thought to himself, it has been more than an hour, what happened in Qingshan Mansion...... There was already a commotion outside, and no one dared to enter the top floor of the Star Picking Tower, and if it dragged on any longer, the Pope was afraid that he would really be angry.

He bit it and said, "Qingshan Mansion...... There were some surprises. ”

"Oh?

Gu Cangle laughed, and said, "If you say that Qingjun went crazy when he was cultivating, this is a good thing. ”

This sentence should be said by the disciple of Tianfu, his face was blue and red for a while, and he gritted his teeth, but the other party was the great gentleman of Songyang Academy, and he was helpless, and he didn't know how to tell the embarrassing thing at the door of his house.

A linen-robed Taoist who came up from the star-picking tower came behind the disciples of Ying Tianfu at this moment, and the linen-robed Taoist of the Dao Sect had already investigated everything clearly.

He looked at the Pope and calmly and emotionlessly spoke of what was happening outside.

"Qingshan's mansion was smashed, Qingjun was attacked, unconscious, tonight's banquet should not come. ”

This sentence is spoken.

Ying Tianfu's disciple's face turned red, and he felt aggrieved and embarrassed.

Gu Cang and Zhongli were stunned and didn't react for a long time.

Chen Yi was stunned.

Qingshan Mansion, the holy place of practice in Yingtianfu, is specially reserved for the practice of successive great gentlemen.

"So many formations...... Zhong Li once went to the Qingshan Mansion of Yingtian Mansion, where there were many formations, and it was extremely difficult to enter, and the Little Wheel King had never made a move, so it was like this.

"The other party should be a formation master. The linen-robed Taoist said respectfully: "The formation of Qingshan Mansion has no waves, the time for that person to solve the battle is very short, Qingjun did not support it for long, it is said that the appearance is very embarrassing." ”

"Hiss......" Gu Cang gasped.

What kind of ruthless character is this?

"And ......" After a moment's hesitation, the linen-robed Taoist said, "That man uses a sword." ”

The three great gentlemen glanced at each other.

They thought of the sword on Hongfu Street not long ago...... And the figure standing with the pestle and sword.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

Chen Yi said softly: "I once heard that those who can gather on the top floor of the star picking are all the young generation of influential figures. ”

"There are 8,000 stars in the world, how many talents?"

"But...... Who can pick up the stars?"

The Pope said calmly, "I thought that Qingjun would be one of them. But now, it doesn't seem to be the case. ”

Chen Yi, who was released from the pigeon, did not show any displeasure on his face, but when he said this, he was not afraid to let anyone hear it, including the disciple of Ying Tianfu.

Ying Tianfu's disciple's face was pale, the Pope walked past him, and the linen-robed Taoist respectfully put the cloak on Chen Yi.

Chen Yi said calmly: "Tell Qingjun that there is no need to entertain the Taoist Sect in the future." ”
