Although Yang Yuhuan is not from a famous family, she is also a beautiful girl, and after Yang Xuanhuan's cultivation in the past few years, she is comfortable in dealing with famous scenes.

Yang Yuhuan had never had the opportunity to attend such a high-level banquet before, this was her debut at the banquet where Luoyang celebrities gathered, Yang Yuhuan wanted to show herself, and kept using superpowers to charm men, which simply made the men present fascinated.

Yang Yun had a headache after seeing this situation.

"I wanted her to be low-key, but my sister is naturally beautiful, and the four beauties in Chinese history are not given for nothing, how can this be low-key?"

When a man recites poetry or shows his talent, he can't help but glance at Yang Yuhuan first.

all want to get Yang Yuhuan's affirmation.

Every time Yang Yuhuan would smile back, and the seductive eyes seemed to imply everyone...... You're coming after me!

Yang Yun shook his head helplessly, and instead turned his gaze to Li Xia, and found that Li Xia's attention was actually all on Yang Yuhuan.

At this moment, a person who looked like a domestic servant hurriedly came out of the back hall and whispered a few words in Li Xia's ear.

Li Xia suddenly got up, interrupted a prince who was chanting poetry, and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, a distinguished guest from Chang'an has made a special trip to the banquet today. ”

"Oh!?"

Almost all of them stood up and looked in the direction of the door, wondering what a distinguished guest had come.

Some people can't help but think, "Could it be that the princess arrived first?" ”

Li Xia smiled lightly, did not explain the identity of the person who came, and led several sons of famous families to welcome out of the door of the main hall and go to the gate.

After a while, I heard laughter at the door of the banquet hall, and surrounded by several noble sons, a woman in a Taoist robe walked into the banquet hall.

This woman's skin is a healthy wheat color, her eyebrows are picturesque, and her beauty reveals a vigorous and heroic spirit, which is radiant and eye-catching.

"Fourth son, I don't know who ...... this is?"

Many people have already walked up to the table to greet each other and prepare to build relationships.

Yang Yun turned his head when he saw this woman, and muttered: "I was unfamiliar with Chang'an in Luoyang, but I didn't expect to meet an old acquaintance...... It's really weird. ”

The woman in the Taoist robe who came was Wu Yuan, a female Taoist priest who had a lot of intersections with Yang Yun in Shu.

Wu Yuan is a disciple of Changchun Zhenren, a famous Taoist of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Xia smiled and introduced: "This is the Venerable Changchun's high disciple, and Wu Yuan Daoist is also." ”

Most of the people present thought that it was the princess who came in a robe, or that the envoy sent by the princess, and when they learned that it was a female cultivator, although everyone still had a smile on their faces, they were a little reluctant.

Changchun Zhenren is quite famous in Chang'an and Luoyang, but it is limited to middle- and upper-level officials and nobles, and most of the children of officials and eunuchs will not ask about Taoism, as for Wu Yuan, among these bureaucrats, they are even less famous, and many people have heard of it for the first time.

Wu Yuan didn't seem to be very interested in the banquet in front of him, bowed his head slightly, said hello to the people present, followed Li Xia to the main seat, and sat on the empty seat at the head.

At this time, she hadn't noticed Yang Yun yet.

Li Xia said: "The saint attaches great importance to the matter of cultivation, and this time Daoist Wu came to the eastern capital for the saint, looking for people with wisdom roots, and consulting the Taoism together. ”

"Huh!?"

Originally, no one took Wu Yuan seriously.

thought that Wu Yuan was just an ordinary Taoist priest, and no matter how awesome he was, he relied on his master's reputation.

didn't know that Wu Yuan actually came on behalf of the emperor.

Gongzi surnamed Sun explained: "The saint is happy with the people, approachable, this time I want to find people with wisdom roots among the younger generation in the Eastern Capital, and participate in the Tao Law together. ”

Only then did everyone know that the purpose of Wu Yuan coming to the banquet was to be an "examiner", and the subject of the exam was the understanding of Taoism.

The emperor advocates Taoism, which is a well-known thing, and the people also respect Taoism, but when it comes to the understanding of Taoism, it is not the majority of people present who are good at it.

Yang Yun suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but look at Yang Yuhuan opposite, but saw that Yang Yuhuan had great confidence on her face, obviously she was good at this.

Yang Yun thought of the fact that many female classmates who had studied the Tao with Yang Yuhuan came to the meeting today, and he understood something.

"It turns out that long before the banquet was held, someone knew that there would be such a move, let the unmarried woman of his family learn the Tao, and then show himself on this occasion, hoping to attract the attention of the emperor, and then fly up the branch to become a phoenix."

Li Xia said humbly: "In Xia is a vulgar martial artist, I don't have much understanding of the Dao, you elders who have seen it, although you come out to speak, if you get the approval of Wu Yuandao, not only can you see the princess, but also meet with the saint and talk about the Dao, this is a good opportunity for us to worship the heavens, we must take advantage of it." ”

"Let me tell you about it."

Suddenly, a woman stood up from the seat, and this woman Yang Yun also recognized that it was the daughter of the official eunuch who was not dealing with Yang Yuhuan.

This woman's skin is like snow, willow eyebrows, bright big eyes like a pool of autumn water, the bridge of the nose is as firm as a jade carving, a small cherry mouth, tall figure, Tingting jade, if it is not for the existence of Yang Yuhuan, it can be regarded as a first-class beauty.

"Miss Shangguan, what do you think, I'll listen to you."

The son surnamed Sun obviously knew this woman, and said with a smile.

But in this way, it gives people the feeling that this party has a script, and even who comes out to speak is pre-designed.

Yang Yuhuan was eager to try, but when he saw Miss Shangguan standing up, he suddenly felt a sense of grievance.

Miss Shangguan said: "The success of Taoism is the unification of heaven and earth, the alternation of the sun and moon in the four seasons, the alternation of yin and yang, the change of the old and the new, and the way of all things in heaven and earth are in it. ”

"Well said."

Gongzi surnamed Sun smiled, "I don't know what Daochang Wu thinks?" ”

Wu Yuan didn't want to listen to this kind of general cliché, frowned, and asked, "Everyone has a different understanding of the Dao Law, you just need to say your own understanding." ”

From Wu Yuan's words, it was obvious that she was dissatisfied with Miss Shangguan's answer.

Miss Shangguan obviously didn't expect to be troubled, so she immediately looked at Gongzi surnamed Sun with a gaze of help, and Gongzi surnamed Sun was slightly embarrassed, and said, "Then please ask Miss Shangguan to tell me about your understanding of Taoism." ”

Miss Shangguan suddenly hesitated for a while, and did not respond for a long time.

Yang Yun smiled secretly: "The pre-set procedures and the designed exam questions, I don't want the examiner to follow the script, and now the candidates are blind." ”

"The ...... of Taoism"

After a long time, Miss Shangguan finally spoke, but she lost the confidence she had just now, and stammered, "It lies in people's hearts, in nature, in heaven and earth, if you can understand the Tao, you can understand all things in the world, prolong life and even live forever." ”

The son surnamed Sun was even more nervous than the person concerned, and hurriedly turned his head and asked, "Is Daochang Wu still satisfied?" ”

Wu Yuan nodded reluctantly: "It can be regarded as having an understanding of the Dao Law." ”

"Then let Miss Shangguan go to face the saint, it should be no problem, right?" Gongzi surnamed Sun asked.

Wu Yuan glanced at Gongzi surnamed Sun in surprise, frowned and said, "I'm just here to hear your opinions on the Dao Law, as for who can face the saint, it's not up to me to decide." ”

The son surnamed Sun realized that his words were too utilitarian, and it was easy for people to guess that there was an element of private teaching and receiving, so he smiled and said no more.

Li Xia said: "What Miss Shangguan said is deeply rooted in the true inheritance of Taoism, do you want to come to Miss Shangguan to study under a famous family?" ”

Miss Shangguan looked at Wu Yuan angrily, frowned slightly, and said, "The little girl has been learning the Tao since she was a child, and now it has been six years. ”

Six years of Taoist age, longer than Yang Yuhuan's cultivation time.

When Miss Shangguan said this, she was very conceited, as if she wanted to compare herself with Wu Yuan.

Yang Yun thought to himself: "You are just a showman, you are learning basic theoretical knowledge, but you have to compare with the actual combat of the students, isn't this an egg hitting a stone, and you are humiliating?" ”

"Hmm."

Wu Yuan has no intention of comparing the Tao with others, maybe she has not been learning the Tao for a long time, or it may be that she has no heart to compete with others, and she sits there with an indifferent expression, not sad or happy.

This stimulated Miss Shangguan's strong desire to win.

Just when Miss Shangguan was about to ask, the son surnamed Sun had already sensed the tension in the air, and hurriedly broke the deadlock, saying, "Miss Shangguan, please take a seat, I don't know who else has a high opinion?" ”

No one answered!

Except for a few people present, the rest of them were not prepared for this.

Before coming here, all I thought about was how to show my talent and demeanor, who would have thought that there would be such an unpopular topic, even if they really let them prepare, it is impossible for people who have not learned the Tao to have a sense in a short time, which is beyond the scope of learning by the children of the gate valve.

Yang Yuhuan was one of the few people present who could talk to Miss Shangguan, but after glaring at Miss Shangguan angrily, she chose to remain silent.

Yang Yun pondered in his heart: "There must be a reason why my ninth sister is so angry...... probably guessed that Miss Shangguan had already prepared, and there were people to help her at the party, she thought it was unfair! ”

Wu Yuan waited for a while, and when he saw that no one came out, he said regretfully: "I heard that Luoyang, the eastern capital, is a place of outstanding people, why does no one have any understanding of the Dao Law?" The saint is still waiting to sit down with the young talents of the local area. ”

Gongzi surnamed Sun said: "Daoist Wu, don't be anxious, this matter is in a hurry, even if everyone here just summarizes the wording, it will take a while, after all, you suddenly came, and the big guys have not been prepared." ”

"Hmm."

Wu Yuan nodded with relief, "The family teacher said that sitting with the saint and discussing the Tao is an excellent opportunity to make a name for yourself, I hope you can grasp it." At that time, Princess Xianyi will also come to listen in person, and she can also debate with the young talents in Guanzhong, and if she performs outstandingly, it will be easy to make progress......"

mentioned before that young people from Guanzhong came, and now I know that it is not poetry and songs that will compete with the young talents of Chang'an in the future, but Taoism, which makes the young people in Dongdu present nervous.

Clearly unprepared.

Few people understand Taoism, so do you have to rely on Miss Shangguan to go to the "Confucianism of the Tongue Battle"?

Everyone whispered to each other, and the scene was noisy, but no one came out to maintain order.

This is also a true portrayal of the mentality of most of the people present, with confusion and panic, completely overwhelmed.

Galen looked at Yang Yun and said, "Seeing that Your Excellency looks dignified, can you understand the Dao Law?" ”

Yang Yun smiled and shook his head.

He had never thought of revealing his talent on such an occasion, he had a holiday with Wu Yuan, and he didn't even think about how to explain to Wu Yuan that he had come to Luoyang.

"This chick has an opinion on me in Shudi, and wants to extract information about refining elixir from my mouth, let her know that I am here, and I have a good life?"

Yang Yun deliberately moved his seat back, so that Gai Xiong's body was in front of him, so as not to let Wu Yuan see him.

After a long time, no one answered, Wu Yuan had a little disappointment on his face, and he didn't talk nonsense, got up and said, "That is the case, the poor road will leave first." ”
