There is only one day left until the Taoist puja.

In fact, at this time, the imperial court did not give a letter of approval whether the date of the festival would be advanced, Li Longji's retreat was still not over, and Li Mao did not inform Yang Yun of whether the matter would be completed or not.

But the news about the advance of the Taoist grand event spread to the ears of all the Taoist priests who arrived in Luoyang, and this morning Wang Ji invited Yang Yun to come over, but not to the place where Songmei was under house arrest, but to a house in Luoyang Lixingfang...... This is the courtyard rented by Wang Ji after arriving in Luoyang, for himself and Wang Lian to settle down.

"Senior brother is here." When Wang Ji learned of Yang Yun's arrival, he came out of the backyard, smelling of alcohol, and his face and neck were red.

Yang Yun frowned: "Didn't you say you wanted to see Songmei, how did you come here?" Still drunk in the morning? ”

Wang Ji said with a smile: "I moved Songmei here, and I am entertaining guests today...... They are all Taoist chiefs from Shudi, and no matter what Songmei says, he is still the leader of the Daomen of Shu...... The banquet inside is at the right time, why don't you go in with me, and you will meet these Taoist leaders from Shudi? ”

Jiannan Road is far away from Luoyang Mountain, and the Taoist priests of various Taoist temples got the news relatively late, so they hurriedly went on the road and arrived in Luoyang, the eastern capital, before the grand event.

Due to the relatively small number of people who came, it was relatively low-key, Yang Yun had only seen people from Qingyang Palace before, and he had never seen his companions in Shu at Liu Hengzheng's place.

The people who cultivated in Shu were different from other places, they knew that "Wuzun Zhenren" had great powers, and they also heard that Wuzun's master and apprentice entered the palace to face the saint and was honored by the emperor as "Heavenly Master", so they abandoned the idea of competing and came to have a relationship with Wuzun.

"Nothing happened, did it?"

Yang Yun was concerned about whether these Taoist priests were making trouble for Songmei.

Wang Ji patted his chest and said triumphantly: "What am I afraid of?" Besides, they had seen Songmei's skills when they were in Chengdu...... In fact, it was the senior brother who supported him behind his back, so that Songmei could serve the public, they all came with goodwill this time, and the senior brother didn't have to worry too much. ”

Those Taoist priests in Shu are jealous of Songmei, after all, there has been a Dharma meeting before, Songmei "overwhelms the crowd", and now there is the son of the previous Jiannan Jiedu envoy to wave the flag for Songmei, how can a Taoist priest without a certain background come to make a time?

The two walked towards the courtyard, but Yang Yun really didn't want to meet with the Taoist priest of Shudi, so he asked, "Can the people from Heavenly Master Dao and Qingyang Palace come?" ”

Wang Ji thought for a moment and shook his head: "I haven't seen anyone from these two factions. ”

"Hmm."

Yang Yun didn't say much.

Heavenly Master Dao is actually not a Shu sect, because they have taken root in Raozhou Longhu Mountain in Jiangnan West Road, and preach all over the country, belonging to a national sect, Shu has actually become a branch of its lineage, plus Zhang Gao already knows the details of Songmei, so it is understandable.

As for Qingyang Palace, as a thousand-year-old grand view with more believers in Shu than the Heavenly Master, he doesn't care about the Wuzun master and apprentice who was born in Xiuye Fox Zen, and people will not come to show favor from the crowd, and if they want to communicate, they will find a chance to meet alone, just like Zhang Gao set up a ring in the tea shop before.

Yang Yun saw from a distance that there were many guests in the hall, and from time to time there were servants coming in and out, bringing tea and water, he stood there and watched for a while, without any intention of continuing to move forward.

Wang Ji asked curiously, "Senior brother, don't you go in and have a look?" In the end, you are the real representative of our master, and you should be the one who leads the Taoist mountain gates in Jiannan Road. ”

Yang Yun shook his head slightly: "This group of people mostly came to climb relationships and find a way to advance for the upcoming Taoist event, I don't have many connections in the officialdom, so I really can't help them, and it's useless to see them." ”

After speaking, Yang Yun turned around and went to the side courtyard.

……

……

When the two arrived at the side courtyard, they saw Wang Lian sitting in front of the pavilion, wearing a robe, secretly wiping away tears.

Hearing the footsteps, Wang Lian raised her head, saw Yang Yun at a glance, was stunned, and quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe her face, then got up to greet Yang Yun and saluted Yang Yun's disciple.

Wang Ji asked with a smile: "Why didn't the sixth sister arrive at the main hall?" It's very lively over there, if I introduce your identity to everyone, everyone will know that you are from my sect in the future......"

Facing Wang's reminder, Wang Lian was still frowning, and her eyes were red.

Of course, Yang Yun understood Wang Lian's thoughts, Wang Lian was forced by her family to join the teacher, and she has not officially apprenticed yet, she doesn't want to lead people astray by joining Taoism.

Not every woman wants to be a Taoist aunt and never marry for the rest of her life.

Yang Yun said calmly: "Let's talk about something inside." ”

Wang Lian pointed to the location of the wing room and said, "Song...... The man was inside. ”

Wang Ji's face sank when he heard this, and he was slightly annoyed: "Let him greet the guests in the main hall, why did he come out with me when I came out?" This old guy doesn't have any integrity at all! ”

Without waiting for Yang Yun to say anything, Wang Ji angrily broke into the wing room to settle accounts with Songmei, and Yang Yun and Wang Lian followed.

When he entered the room, he really saw Songmei sitting at the table near the window drinking tea with his head down, and when he saw Yang Yun and Wang Ji coming, he looked distressed like a little old man who was being bullied, and he urgently needed to find someone to support him.

"Why don't you greet guests inside? What do you do when you come out? Wang asked.

Songmei got up and looked at Wang Ji with her eyes blank, and said, "Don't you want to behave well in front of all Taoist friends?" But those people deceived people too much, as soon as you left, someone came over to toast, I accepted it with good intentions, they deliberately bumped into the teacher, if someone didn't support me, maybe I would have been ugly in front of people, so ...... You can only avoid ...... first."

The more unconfident Songmei is, the more difficult it is to hold up the scene.

In the past, only Yang Yun knew his identity, so he was very proud in the face of the world, and there was always a strong momentum that looked down on all beings, and no one dared to despise him. But the problem is that now the Wang family knows his details, and he is still under house arrest like a prisoner, and now he appears in front of people, with no confidence, and without the king's background to support the scene, he can't even convince people.

Yang Yun secretly thought: "The soul of Wuzun on Songmei's body has long disappeared because of the revelation of his identity, and now he is a complete liar, and he can't even believe himself." ”

Wang Ji said angrily: "Those old ways, give them face? Dare to play tricks behind my back! Brother, let's teach them a lesson! ”

Yang Yun narrowed his eyes and said angrily: "You have seen less of the open and secret battles between Taoist priests?" Who do you want to teach in such a hurry to ruin the past? How to teach the law? What kind of results do you want? In the end, can you really stand up for your teacher? ”

Wang Ji was ashamed for a while, didn't think about it, and after carefully tasting Yang Yun's words, he immediately understood, patted his head lightly, and said: "Also, this can only be a loss, it's all because this old fart has no ability, it is estimated that he can't even walk steadily after drinking a few glasses, and he will be sobered up by someone a few times." ”

Songmei was already depressed, and when she heard this, her face became even more ugly.

Yang Yun looked at Songmei's depressed state, and understood that Songmei's previous arrogant power was gradually worn away by Wang Ji's cynicism.

It's no wonder that the king's nationality is mainly because Songmei deceived his father Wang Yu too badly, and the battle of Huiye returned in vain, which made Wang Yu's good officialdom have a ruined future, and the Wang family did not directly slaughter Songmei to give Yang Yun enough face.

Wang Ji suddenly thought of something, and said, "But now the people from our division are not at the table?" Isn't there no proprietor? Senior brother, why don't you go over and stop those people first? ”

Yang Yun said: "The banquet is set up by you, you are the main family, Songmei is the guest, you can go over, greet this group of people as soon as possible, and come back when you have something." ”

Wang Ji was embarrassed: "We used to have a banquet and let my senior brother stay alone, it didn't feel good......"

He suddenly saw Wang Lian hiding at the door, as if he had suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "Then let the sixth sister entertain the senior brother first, and I will take this old guy to send that group of people away...... Senior brother, please take care of yourself. ”

When he says "self-convenience", he deliberately accentuates his tone, as if he is expecting something to happen.

Then Wang Ji took Songmei to the banquet held in the main hall of the front yard, and only Yang Yun and Wang Lian were left in the wing room for the time being.

……

……

Wang Lian didn't really want to face Yang Yun, but now she is even more embarrassed to get along alone.

She remembered to pour tea for Yang Yun, but before she straightened her waist, her feet slipped and she almost fell, her knees touched the foot of the table, and she resumed her kneeling posture.

"Miss Wang, why are you so restrained? You haven't bowed to my name yet, so let's just get along as friends. Yang Yun said with a smile.

Wang Lian lowered her head and said helplessly: "The order of the handsome cannot be violated." ”

The words were full of helplessness, but also with a bit of firmness, as if to say, I am a soldier and must obey military orders.

Yang Yun smiled: "General Wang is too, is it still forced to let people apprentice?" Even if you want to worship, I may not be willing to accept it, because Miss Wang really has no potential to cultivate the Dao Fa, this is not to belittle Miss Wang, but it is really a short and long inch, and everyone has their own talent and cultivation...... Perhaps Miss Wang should be more on the battlefield than wasting her time as a disciple. ”

Although Wang Lian was very reluctant to be a Taoist priest, she also had a temperament in her heart that did not admit defeat, and when she heard Yang Yun's comment, she recovered a little bit of her pride as a female general and glared at Yang Yun.

"So what does it mean to have potential?" Wang Lian asked rhetorically.

Yang Yun sighed: "Cultivation pays attention to chance, and the result of cultivating the Dao is to be familiar with and control the laws of heaven and earth, which can be used by me. If there is no fate, no matter how much you do, it will be futile, just like this cup of tea......"

Yang Yun said, as soon as he stretched out his hand, the teacup full of tea in front of him slowly rose, automatically flew to his palm, he took a sip, his hand spread, and the teacup automatically fell on the table, not even a drop of tea overflowed.

Wang Lian was dumbfounded.

Yang Yun continued to explain, "I have a relationship with this cup of tea, so I have the ability to pick it up and put it down in the air without losing any of it. If you don't, no amount of effort will be in vain...... This kind of thing cannot be explained in detail, it all depends on a person's understanding. ”

Convinced by Yang Yun's sudden ability, Wang Lian's face was full of frustration.

It turns out that if you are forced to join the Daomen, it depends on whether you have the opportunity, and if you don't have the opportunity, there is no way to apprentice.

"Then my third brother...... How could he? Wang Lian asked unconvinced.

Yang Yun smiled and said: "Wang Gongzi wants to join the master, but so far no one has given him a letter to accept him into the door, it's not that I embarrass him, it's really that I can't agree for the master, whether he gets started or not depends on the attitude of the master in the future, now...... It's just wishful thinking on his part. ”

Wang Lian was already extremely annoyed, and she retreated in her heart, but hearing Yang Yun's words stimulated her fighting spirit.

The Wang family is determined to have a relationship with "Wuzun Zhenren", and now they can't get started, and there is no hope for the royal family for the time being, doesn't it mean that the relationship will be severed?

A soldier takes obedience to orders as her duty, and if the task is not completed, she will not admit defeat.

"Then please give me the opportunity of the immortal elder, as long as there is any way to make the disciple comprehend the immortal opportunity, the disciple will try it at all costs, and he will be loyal after entering the master's door."

Wang Lian gritted her teeth and said with a firm attitude.

This made Yang Yun worried.

How can you not explain it to this chick?

I persuaded you to let go, but you didn't listen, and you kicked your nose in the face!
