Xian Yuxiang, the word Zhongtong, was born in Yuyang County, Jizhou, and migrated with his father to the new policy of Pengzhou, West Road, Shannan when he was young. This is a famous figure in the Tang Dynasty, although he was born as a Jinshi, but he does not have much talent, and his greatest ability is to tie up with Yang Guozhong, and later rely on Yang Guozhong's official worship of Jiannan Jiedu envoy, resulting in the defeat of the Southern Zhao.

Bai Juyi once satirized in "The Barbarian Dynasty: The Thorn General is Proud and Ready for the Position": "Xian Yu Zhongtong has 60,000 soldiers, and the whole army has not been conquered for a while." So far, on the bank of the Xi'er River, the arrow holes are full of dry bones. ”

Xian Yuxiang can be said to be a representative of the rampant demons in the court during the Xuanzong period of the Tang Dynasty.

But Yang Yun doesn't have much prejudice against this person, he has been in the Tang Dynasty for a long time, and there are not many celebrities he has really seen.

Yang Yun looked at Xian Yu Xiang's outfit, and couldn't help but think: "How did Xian Yu Zhongtong become a Taoist priest?" If I remember correctly, he should have been a new science and technology jinshi last year, why didn't he do a good job as an official in Chang'an and came to Chengdu? ”

Gongsun Jian asked: "Is the Taoist chief a person who is rarely at home in Pengzhou's new policy?" ”

"Exactly."

Xian Yuxiang responded with a smile.

"It turns out that the Taoist chief is still from a famous family." Gongsun Jian said casually.

Gongsun Jian is a staff member of the Jiedu Embassy, and he has a lot of knowledge about the wealthy families in Shu.

After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, in order to avoid the situation of Shu land separation, the Bashu was divided into two, and the east of Bashu and southern Shaanxi were forcibly brought together, and the Shannan West Road was established, and the governance office was set up in Xingyuan Mansion, that is, the later generations of Shaanxi Hanzhong.

Yizhou is not far from Pengzhou, and the surname Xianyu is very rare, so Gongsun Jian quickly associated with the Xianyu family.

Fa Ling said: "No matter where you go from, do you know who the person on the stage is today?" What are you doing today? ”

Xian Yuxiang said with a smile: "Even if you don't know each other, you can understand the stakes after observing here for a long time...... Isn't it the Heavenly Master Daomen? I studied under the Dongting Immortals, and I just happened to see the benefits and disadvantages of the Heavenly Master Dao! ”

Xian Yu stepped onto the high platform from the trail in a few arrow steps, his skills were extremely vigorous, and after standing still, he pulled out the peach wood sword he was carrying, and pointed at Li Qingguan from afar: "Daochang Li, you are not welcome, you will see the real chapter under your hands...... I want to establish the prestige of the Dongting faction. ”

Li Qingguan, who had just asked Dao Tong to bandage his palm, looked bad and was very anxious.

The fat Taoist priest on the other side didn't say whether he really had supernatural powers, even if there was another Qinghe who deceived the world and stole his name, he couldn't deal with it, Li Qingguan was exhausted in the previous fighting method, and the pressure increased sharply when facing Xian Yu Zhongtong.

"What are you talking about, let's do it."

Li Qingguan said stiffly.

Xian Yuxiang said with a smile: "You are a senior master, you will strike first, and the contemptible person is a junior, just accept it." ”

When the people in the audience heard these words, they couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The disciples of the Dongting Immortals are just not ordinary, seeing that Old Man Li is old, he doesn't want to bully the old, so he actually sees the tricks!" Without real skills, who would dare to say such big things? ”

Xian Yuxiang and Li Qingguan put on a posture, but they didn't make a move for a long time, and they seemed to be looking for opportunities.

Songmei looked at it for a while, with an uneasy look, turned her head and asked Yang Yun: "Good apprentice, coming here for the teacher is also for Liwei, now you come and go on the stage, and the teacher is watching below?" ”

Yang Yun asked, "Do you think you have the ability to fight Li Qingguan?" ”

"Even if you can't fight, aren't you still there?" Songmei said with a smile.

Yang Yun said angrily: "Even if we can fight, now we have no direct conflict with the Heavenly Master Dao, we should have the same goal to deal with Qingyang Palace, otherwise even if you kill all sides on the stage, you will still be at the mercy of Qingyang Palace when you turn around?" ”

"Alas!"

Songmei sighed unwillingly and continued to look at the stage.

Yang Yun followed to watch the show, and Wang Ji came over and asked, "Master, who do you think can win these two on stage?" Li Daochang has real skills at a glance, as for this, he is rarely ...... It's not a generality. ”

Yang Yun thought to himself, what is this, the two liars don't fight on stage, they can't figure out the details of each other at all, do you really think it's a master duel? Immediately, he said: "Keep watching, don't ask." ”

"Hey."

Wang Ji continued to look at the stage with eager eyes, for fear of missing the details of the fighting methods of the two sides.

……

……

Xian Yuxiang and Li Qingguan didn't make a move, and Yang Yun couldn't intervene if he wanted to help.

Unlike in the past, Yang Yun was eager to show his face and establish his prestige, but this time Yang Yun would not let himself become the target of public criticism.

"You guys are making a move, even if you bluff, I can make the scene enough for you, who made me want to make you an immortal in the eyes of everyone, so that I can leave Yizhou? The more beautiful you are, the less anyone notices me, an outdated little person, and Wang Yu's attention will be diverted. ”

Since Yang Yun came to Qingyang Palace, his performance has been extremely low-key, and he wants to let Songmei go, the purpose is the same as the reason why he asked Songmei to be a fake master, to divert his attention and let him leave.

At this festival, there was Li Qingguan first, and then Xian Yuxiang, the more high-key the two acted, the happier Yang Yun became, and he, as the chief director, was only responsible for creating enough sound and light effects offstage.

As long as the two "actors" on stage are not exposed, the play will continue.

Li Qingguan stared at Xian Yu Xiang for a long time, and beat a drum in his heart: "The past few times, I have inexplicably possessed the immortal method and knocked the opponent off the high platform, can it be said that this is with heavenly help?" But my ability is not good from time to time, and if this person is close, even if it is compared to brute force, I am no match for it! No, I'll make a comparison and scare him first! ”

"Well, since you won't strike first, you're welcome!" Li Qing looked at the words, raised his hands to his chest, as if he was lucky, and then closed his palms and pushed forward violently.

"Hoo ......"

There seemed to be a current of air rushing towards Xianyu in the air.

Xian Yuxiang's face changed, and the other party would really exert force in the air, which was somewhat unexpected by him, and in a hurry, he waved his palm forward with his left hand, and held a peachwood sword in his right hand in front of him.

"Hiss ......"

There was a rush of air in the air.

Immediately, the two air currents collided violently in the center of the high platform, making a loud "boom" sound, and the two were separated by more than three zhang away, but they seemed to be affected by the air flow of the other party.

"Wow!"

The people in the audience couldn't take their eyes off it.

This is a master showdown!

This is the real way to fight!

He can hurt the enemy invisibly, and he is really a master among masters!

In the past, I saw charlatans who were all chickens and dogs!

The competition in front of me makes people ashamed!

Gongsun Jian and Fa Ling were shocked when they saw this scene, they really couldn't imagine that the two sides really had "immortal power", and it seemed that they were evenly matched.

Gongsun Jian shouted: "Xian Yu Dao Chang, hurry up, don't give him a chance to breathe!" ”

"Daochang Li, the opponent's cultivation is still shallow, it is advisable to take advantage of the victory to pursue!" Someone on the side of Heavenly Master Dao also reminded Li Qingguan.

Only the two on the high platform knew their suffering.

Obviously I don't know anything, I just put on a posture, and I actually look like it, I didn't understand what happened just now, and I still let you chase after the victory?

What's the chase?

Xian Yu churned towards qi and blood, and the strength of the previous qi wave collision and rebound made him suffer a little "internal injury", and his breathing was very unsmooth. He took a few breaths and saluted with his fists: "Dao Li is so good at cultivating, admire!" Admire! ”

"You're not bad either."

Li Qingguan knew that he was not capable of the enemy, and he could not admit defeat, so he said with a pretentious gesture.

Gongsun Jian urged: "What are you still talking about? Shoot! ”

Xian Yuxiang turned a deaf ear, returned the peachwood sword to the sheath, and said: "The intention of the family teacher is to only let the contemptible people stand up, not to hurt people, and besides, with the cultivation of contemptible people, I know that I can't beat my predecessors, so I ...... The contemptible can only stop first. ”

Xian Yuxiang seems to be heroic, but in fact he is very cunning, he was a Taoist priest originally for opportunism, and wanted to start from the aspect of Xuanzong Chongdao, mixed with an official and a half-position, seeing that the other party really has the ability to hurt people in the air, although I don't know why the other party thinks he also has this ability, but he knows that if he continues to fight, he will undoubtedly lose, and immediately find a reason to step down.

Fa Ling asked with a dark face: "How can you admit defeat before you distinguish between the superior and inferior?" ”

"The contemptible person did not admit defeat, but he did not distinguish between superior and inferior, and he deserved to be tied...... What does Daochang Li think? Xian Yu looked at Li Qingguan and asked in an inquiring tone.

Xian Yuxiang pondered: "Even if this old Taoist priest is capable, after the previous few rounds of competition, he should be exhausted, right?" He definitely won't really kill me, unless the Dongting Immortals have a holiday with him! ”

Li Qing saw that the other party didn't want to compare, not to mention how lucky he was, and secretly thought: "If the competition continues, or it only takes one round, I will be defeated, it seems that the disciples of the Dongting Immortals are quite generous." ”

Li Qingguan stroked his beard and said with a smile: "What this Taoist friend said is true, you and I have not really divided the winner or loser, so it is better to wait for the future to compete." ”

Xian Yu said: "With Daoist Li's seniority, he should fight with his family teacher, and he is not qualified to do so." ”

"Okay, haha!" Li Qingguan laughed.

The two sides ended the "fight" in a friendly atmosphere, just a move, evenly matched, and then walked off the high platform without being able to do so.

Fa Ling was furious.

finally found a master to come on stage, but he only fought for one round and stopped, and it was still Li Qingguan who was guarding the stage! This means that people have to be sent up to attack, but if Wu Yuan is not up, who can do it?

Fa Ling looked around, no one was of great use, and when he was in trouble, Gongsun Jian next to him said: "It's noon, it's better to have lunch first, and then do the fighting...... What do you think? ”

"That's exactly what I mean."

The Taoist priests present all agreed.

Li Qingguan also agrees with the method of eating first and then fighting.

Although he didn't really consume "mana" in the fighting method just now, he consumed a lot of spirit, with his age, acting in this hot summer day requires a lot of physical strength, and he was sweating profusely at this time, and even his breathing was very short. Besides, he still needed to find a place to digest what had just happened, so he agreed to Gongsun Jian's proposal.

……

……

As the organizer of the festival, Qingyang Palace provided food for the participating Taoist priests.

Taoist priests are basically vegetarians, but there are also those who eat meat, and depending on the faction, there are huge differences in the way of cultivation.

The group walked to the courtyard next door where the table was prepared, Li Qingguan and the others did not linger long, but Gongsun Jian took the initiative to come over to greet Yang Yun's master and apprentice.

After a brief salute, Gongsun Jian said: "Wuzun Zhenren has never asked about earthly matters, today is the battle of Jiannan Dao Dao Dao, why should Zhenren be mired in the quagmire?" ”

Songmei said: "I don't know what Your Excellency means ......?" ”

Gongsun Jian looked at Yang Yun, obviously still holding grudges. But now that Qinghe's reputation has been discredited, he no longer continues to put his chips on Qinghe, and said in a low voice: "The real person is a guest of the Marshal's Mansion, and he should uphold the position of the Marshal in doing things, right?" ”

Song Mei didn't say anything, Yang Yun asked with a smile, "What do you mean...... Let my master help you deal with Daoist Li of the Heavenly Master Dao, right? ”

Gongsun Jian did not answer Yang Yun's question directly, and said sternly: "Heavenly Master Dao has always regarded itself as orthodox in the Daomen, does not take other sects in his eyes, and is arrogant and arrogant, and does not even obey the orders of the marshal, it is polite that the imperial court does not classify them as evil demons and foreign ways, but also regard them as orthodox and obey them to distribute benefits, who can be convinced by the cultivators in the world?" ”
