The handsome Taoist boy Atai and Kong Sheng, who is famous for "eating soft rice" in Jiangning County, walked side by side, and also led a snow-white and handsome high-headed horse, through the city street, towards the Shunsheng Inn, which attracted the whispers and sideways attention of many passers-by along the way.

Kong Sheng's astonishing performance at the Wangjianglou Poetry Meeting has not yet reached the city for the time being, and in the eyes of the people in the city, he is still the shameless little guy of the Yang family who eats soft rice, and the last unscrupulous son after the defeat of the famous family.

Atai tugged at Kong Sheng's arm and said with a smile: "Brother Kong, your reputation in Jiangning is really ...... Atai really can't understand, since you are full of talent, why do you show the face of a prodigal son all day long? ”

Kong Sheng sighed: "Brother Atai, the so-called Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, my father and mother have passed away one after another, the Kong family has fallen into the middle of the road, and Kong has fallen to rely on the Yang Mansion to help me live, if I don't deliberately Taoguang is obscure, my situation will be even more difficult!" Today, if I hadn't been forced to retreat by the Yang family, I wouldn't have been in the limelight. ”

"Of course, what Kong did in the past was informal, and it was indeed despicable! Looking back on it now, I am really ashamed, and I am really ashamed of the ancestors of the Kong family! ”

Ah Tai nodded, convinced of Kong Sheng's explanation. Both parents died, the family was unfortunate, from a famous son to a parasitic fence, such a contrast in life circumstances, the disguise of dissoluteness is actually not a kind of protection for oneself? At the same time, Kong Sheng is about the same age as himself, and he is still a young man after all, so it is understandable that he will take a little detour for a while.

"Fortunately, Brother Confucius woke up in time, the so-called prodigal son did not change his money, and with Brother Kong's amazing talent, he would have a future to serve the imperial court." Ah Tai smiled and said, "It's just that Brother Kong, why should he refuse to marry the Yang family? The young lady of the Yang family is beautiful and fragrant, and she knows books and etiquette, and she is a good match for a beauty in a million. Moreover, Yang Qi and Yang envoys recommended to the imperial court, and Brother Kong's meteoric rise is just around the corner. ”

Atai really couldn't figure it out. Judging from Kong Sheng's current situation, marrying the Yang family is his best life choice, he is talented and the Yang family is powerful, if he can get the protection and recommendation of the Yang family, he can soar to the sky. Otherwise, even if he has peerless talent and no backer, it will be even more difficult to get ahead.

Kong Sheng smiled slightly: "Brother Atai, do you know that Kong Mou came to Wangjianglou Poetry Club today to withdraw from the marriage in public, it was Yang Yuanjun's idea?" ”

Atai bowed: "Obviously. However, Yang Yuanjun probably didn't expect that Brother Kong was a piece of hidden gold and jade, and the pearl was covered with dust, and he was blind. Now that he saw that Brother Kong had only learned from others, he felt remorse and offered to renew the marriage contract with Brother Kong, which is actually a good thing. ”

"Good horses don't eat grass. Kong had not planned to go back since he left the Yang Mansion the day before yesterday. What's more, the door is not the right one, and the reluctance to get married, whether it is for Kong or Miss Yang, it may not be a blessing. Kong is down on the street, and he will no longer delay people's lifelong events. Kong Sheng waved his hand, "The past is over, and it is over." ”

"What a good horse doesn't eat back grass! Kong Xiaolang, a good man does not go back, now that the troubled times are beginning to appear, with your divine power and full of talent, you can't always nest in this land in the south of the Yangtze River to waste your years! Suddenly there was a clear voice from Bai Yunzi behind him, Kong Sheng was taken aback and turned around.

Bai Yunzi is still immortal, and there is not a trace of smoke and dust on the gorgeous Taoist robe.

More than ten miles away, the speed of the Taoist's feet is almost the same as that of Atai and Kong Sheng, who gallop on horseback!

Kong Sheng took a deep breath and bowed down to the Taoist chief: "I've seen the immortal chief." ”

This person is definitely a strange person in the world. Kong Sheng immediately understood that it was not for nothing that the Taoist found him, and the encounter with this pair of Taoist masters and apprentices may be an important opportunity for his fate to turn around.

Bai Yunzi chuckled, but he also received a salute from Kong Sheng: "Let's go into the inn to talk." ”

……

"Dare to ask the Immortal Master?" In the inn, Kong Sheng once again gave a deep salute.

Bai Yunzi smiled: "Poor Tiantai Baiyunzi, living in seclusion in Yuxiao Peak of Tiantai Mountain, his real name is Sima Chengzhen, and the word is emblem." ”

Kong Sheng was suddenly shocked, and his heart turned out to be the twelfth generation grandmaster of the Shangqing School of Taoism whose real name is Sima Chengzhen, and a famous Taoist master in the Tang Dynasty. This man is both humanistic and martial, profound Taoism, and Chen Ziang, Lu Zangyong, Song Zhiwen, Wang Shi, Bi Gou, Li Bai, Meng Haoran, Wang Wei, He Zhizhang are "Ten Friends of Xianzong".

However, according to historical records, Sima Chengzhen was born in the twenty-first year of Zhenguan and died in the twenty-third year of Kaiyuan, but now it is the fifteenth year of Tianbao...... Since the Taoist is standing in front of him alive, it can only show that there is a deviation in history. According to this, he is more than 100 years old, but he looks like a man in his fifties, which shows that the kung fu of maintaining and cultivating his self-cultivation is more unfathomable than the records in the history books.

Kong Sheng took a deep breath, and his shocked expression slowly faded, replaced by a respectful look: "It turned out to be Grandmaster Sima of Shangqing, the head of the Ten Friends of the Immortal Sect, please forgive Kong Sheng for the sin of not knowing!" ”

Bai Yunzi laughed loudly: "I didn't expect that the Confucian family Xiaolang lived in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River, and mixed in the market every day, and even knew the poor road. ”

"The immortal master is famous all over the world, the Son of Heaven is a Taoist brother, the leader of Taoism, Kong Sheng has been looking up to his name for a long time." Kong Sheng was faintly excited and excited in his heart, Sima Chengzhen was a strange person in the Tang Dynasty, and he had a lot of friends with the powerful people of the current dynasty, and it was definitely his great creation to be able to get his favor.

Bai Yunzi waved his hand: "Don't mention the gossip." Kong Xiaolang, poor Dao was invited by Guo Fenyang to go to Hebei and pass through Jiangning County, seeing that you have only learned people, and you were born with rare divine powers, Yunwen Yunwu, and intends to accept you as a lay disciple, I don't know what you think? ”

Kong Sheng was stunned for a moment, and the center of his mind flashed.

"Invited by Guo Fenyang to Hebei?" Guo Fenyang is the famous general Guo Ziyi in the Tang Dynasty, after the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, Guo Ziyi led the army to the king of Qin, and successively recovered Hedong, Hebei, and the second year of Germany, that is, next year, Guo Ziyi and Li Jiao, the king of Guangping, recovered Chang'an, Xijing, and Luoyang, the eastern capital. The following year, he carried forward the Zhongshu Order.

It's really good luck! If you can get the recognition of the Tang Dynasty and a chance to get a start through Sima Chengzhen and Guo Ziyi, wouldn't it be easy?

Of course, whether it is Sima Chengzhen or Guo Ziyi, they are not easy to fool, if you want Guo Ziyi to recommend it in person, you must have the real ability to make it valued, not by showing off your skills.

Bai Yunzi had been observing the changes in Kong Sheng's face, waiting for his reply, where did he think that Kong Sheng would turn around in a moment and even Guo Ziyi, who was thousands of miles away, had been "calculated"?

At the time of the national crisis, Bai Yunzi was worried about the country and the people, and intended to cultivate a good seedling for the world, and he had no selfishness.

Ah Tai saw Kong Sheng on the side who was still stunned, and when he didn't answer, he was a little anxious, and his heart could make the viewer see that this is a great blessing, you don't want to miss the opportunity!

Atai couldn't help coughing dryly twice, and secretly glanced at Kong Sheng.

Kong Sheng suddenly came back to his senses, and without hesitation, he bowed to Bai Yunzi with a firm expression.

Facts speak louder than words, and actions determine everything. Kong Sheng replied with the great gift of resolutely apprenticing to the master, Bai Yunzi was happy in his heart, but he let Kong Sheng kneel on the ground with a serious expression, and said without a word: "Kong Sheng, since you worship under the poor road today, you must abide by the rules and lessons of the poor road, and in the future, you must keep your heart, and you must not be good at stealing and committing sexual immorality, and bad ...... the poor road will clear your name."

"Do you remember?!"

Kong Sheng's eyes flashed with endless brilliance, and he said aloud: "Follow the teachings of the master, Kong Sheng remembers!" ”

Bai Yunzi smiled, "Okay." Poor Dao believes that you can be true to your word, and you are as good as you are. According to your situation, Poor Dao intends to pass on to you a set of inner family methods of resisting power with qi, after Poor Dao leaves Jiangning County, you should practice every day, do not slack off, and in time there will be miraculous results; I will pass on to you a set of techniques for fencing and dancing, which is the foundation of self-defense; I also passed on a part of your art of war and tactics, and you can slowly participate in the study, but how much essence you can get depends on your understanding and creation. ”

"Poor Dao can stay in Jiangning for three days at most, and during these three days, Poor Dao should personally teach you...... As for Atai, he can teach you the art of horse riding. ”
