Chapter 122: The Holy City of the East
After more than half a month of study, Lu Ming made rapid progress, not only catching up with the homework of the Academy of Literature, but also surpassing some of the talents in the class. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
During this period, Lu Ming lived a very fulfilling life, although he offended Zhao Bo and Chen Moyue before, they did not take any measures.
But Lu Ming did not let his guard down, because he believed that Zhao Bo and Chen Moyue were holding their ground, looking for an opportunity to frame him.
At the same time, Lu Ming also made some literary friends, but he was usually busy and didn't communicate with them often.
In a blink of an eye, it is the sixth day of the seventh month, and tomorrow is the day of Qixi Festival.
This morning, a holy page flying boat fell from the sky and landed at the Suzhou Academy of Literature, and a man wearing a university scholar's shirt walked down, and said in a loud voice: "In Xia Kongce, on the order of the Holy Academy, I came to pick up Lu Ming, the Great Liang Guomaocai, to go to the Holy City of Qufu to participate in the Seven Kingdoms Maocai Cultural Conference, and set off immediately." ā
After speaking, Lu Ming immediately walked out of the classroom and saluted Kong Ce: "Xiaosheng Lu Ming has seen the Confucian scholar!"
Kong Ce returned the salute and said, "Please show your official seal to prove your identity." ā
"Good. When Lu Ming heard this, he immediately took out the official seal and gave it to Kong Ce.
After confirming it, Kong Ce said, "Please Lu Maocai make a little preparation and go to the Holy City with me." ā
"Students have been prepared for a long time and can go now. Lu Ming said.
"Alright, please come up. ā
"Yes. ā
Lu Ming immediately got on the Sacred Page Flying Boat, and at the same time turned to say goodbye to Zhuge Yuan: "Mr. Zhuge , the student will leave for a few days, and he will go back when he goes." ā
Zhuge Yuan nodded lightly at the door of the classroom, and said with a slight smile: "You don't have to be too forced, just do your best." ā
"Students follow the teachings. ā
Lu Ming saluted, and then said to Kong Ce: "Scholar, let's go." ā
"Stand firm. ā
As he spoke, Kong Ce drove the Holy Page Flying Boat through the sky, turning into a bright light and quickly disappearing into the sky.
Lu Ming put his hands behind his back and looked ahead, countless clouds greeted him at lightning speed, fleeting.
"The speed of this flying boat is too fast, twice as fast as the flying boat that the Zhenzhou University Scholar gave me!"
Lu Ming was surprised in his heart, but on the surface, he was silent and very calm.
Kong Ce showed a hint of appreciation on his face and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be quite determined, if it were someone else taking the flying boat, they would have opened their mouths wide at this time, and they could accommodate an egg." ā
"I've been on the Sacred Page Flyer, so I'm not surprised by that. Lu Ming said.
"I see, you are worthy of being a Maocai of the Liang Kingdom, and you are really well-informed, no wonder several great Confucians in the Holy Academy are full of praise for your article. ā
Lu Ming smiled and did not answer.
Kong Ce smiled again: "In this year's Seven Kingdoms Cultural Conference, I am more optimistic about you, and I hope you can win the top spot once and win some glory for Liang Guo." ā
"I just want to be in the top three, as for whether I can compete for the top spot, it depends on the situation. ā
"You're so different, don't tell me you're not interested in that leader. ā
Lu Ming smiled disapprerovingly: "The tree is a big move, I don't want to be too high-profile, otherwise I will definitely be burned, besides, I just don't let Liang Guo lose face." ā
"Having said that, I have heard that most of the scholars in the Liang Kingdom are looking forward to you, and if you don't win the title, it will definitely disappoint them and affect your literary name. ā
"I didn't participate in the literary meeting for my own literary name, I just want Liang Guoren to understand that others are unreliable, everything can only be relied on by oneself," Lu Ming shook his head helplessly.
Although the idea is good, the arrogant Liang people may not understand. ā
Lu Ming's face changed when he heard this, and he became silent.
The speed of the flying boat was extremely fast, and it was only an hour later that it reached the Oriental Holy City, which is commonly known as the City of Confucius.
As far as the eye can see, there are countless pavilions and pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings, white cranes flying, mandarin ducks playing in the water, green smoke swirling, beautiful, as if it is a heavenly palace fairyland.
When Lu Ming saw this scene, he also showed surprise on his face and said, "The Eastern Holy City really lives up to its name. ā
Kong Ce slowed down the speed of the flying boat, and at the same time, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a hint of pride, and said: "Our holy city is famous all over the world, everyone knows it, no one knows it, but it is not blown out, you can come to the legendary holy city once, and you have no regrets in this life." ā
Lu Ming smiled, then fell silent.
The flying boat landed in front of a pavilion and said to Lu Ming: "This is the welcome building, we have arranged a room for you to spend the night, tomorrow's Seven Kingdoms Conference will start very early, in order to ensure that all countries can attend in time, so we will take you to Kong City today." ā
"There will be a small exchange meeting tonight, you have to seize the opportunity to deal with Maocai from various countries, understand?"
"Rest assured, the little student has his own measure. ā
Kong Ce nodded, took out a waist card and handed it to Lu Ming: "This is your token in Kong City, your identity information has been recorded on it, with it you can live temporarily in the Welcome Building, if you lose it, the guards at the door will not let you in." ā
Lu Ming took the token and arched his hand: "Thank you, scholar." ā
"Feel free to do so, I'll go first. ā
After Kong Ce finished speaking, he flew away in a flying boat.
"Welcome Building......
Lu Ming looked up, this is a five-story building, combining a restaurant and an inn, which is a unique design.
"It's still early, I should visit the Holy City and relax. ā
Thinking so, Lu Ming walked to the street.
The streets are lit up to welcome tomorrow's Tanabata Festival, and at the same time, you can see people from all over the world in fancy costumes.
"Huh, that's ......."
Lu Ming's eyes widened, and he looked somewhere, and saw a group of demon clans with human body and beast heads, they were wearing demon clan costumes, escorting a truck, and the banner of the team said "Demon World Ten Thousand Beasts Chamber of Commerce".
And in the back, there is another flag with the words "Human Passage Pass" on it, and the signature of the Holy House in the lower right corner.
"I didn't expect that even the demon clan came to the Holy City to do business and communicate with each other, and the Holy City was really different. ā
Lu Ming was full of interest, and then saw another group of people wearing alien costumes, walking on the street with a group of spirit beasts, their costumes were quite strange, both men and women wore a special earring, and the color of their eyes was red, blue and green, but there was no black.
"The Nanyi tribe?"
Lu Ming's face changed slightly, the Nanyi tribe is actually another human race, the people of this tribe are good at animal taming and ancient witchcraft, live in the vast grassland land, sign an agreement with the human race to non-aggression, and cooperate in business and mutual benefit.
The rare beasts on the grassland are small and cute, and they are very spiritual. ā
The Nanyi people speak fluent Terran dialect, but have a strong tribal accent and a very stylish style.
"It's been a long experience. ā
Lu Ming's heart was even more happy, and he slowly walked over to take a look, it turned out that they were all fluffy and cute spirit beasts, and many girls were playing with them there.
"Fortune telling! Fortune telling! Poor Dao Xiaoyaozi, is an authentic Xuanmen Taoist disciple, proficient in Qimen arithmetic, past guests may wish to count a hexagram, tend to good luck and avoid evil!"
An old man in a yellow shabby robe walks down the street, holding a sign that reads "fortune telling" and wearing a pair of worn shoes.
"If this Taoist master is a good fortune teller, he will definitely not be so ragged, it seems that he is a charlatan. ā
Lu Ming didn't take this to heart, but the old Taoist walked directly in front of Lu Ming and said with a smile: "This son, the poor Taoist knows the past and the future, how about counting a hexagram?"
A passer-by said impatiently: "I said Xiaoyaozi Daoist, don't shout anymore, no one will believe your broken hexagram, it won't work at all!"
"That's right, look at you, how poor you have become, if you are a good fortune teller, will you still be so poor?"
"You've been here for more than a month, why are you still cheating and drinking here?
Xiaoyaozi turned a blind eye, and said to Lu Ming with a smile: "This son, I am very good at calculating hexagrams, and you can know your past and future, good fortune and good fortune, you only need one or two silver!"
"A tael of silver, so expensive?"
Lu Ming couldn't help but laugh secretly, no wonder he was so poor, the original asking price was so high.
"Okay, okay, I don't think it's easy for you, give me a hexagram. Lu Ming took out a tael of silver out of kindness and gave it to him.
"Thank you for this son, come on, come here, please, please take a seat. ā
Xiaoyaozi pulled Lu Ming to the side of the street and sat down, then took out five golden copper coins from his pocket, threw them on the ground, and then saw the money scattered in all directions, and suddenly shouted: "Oh, yes, it's terrible!
Lu Ming was speechless for a moment, "Dao Chief, don't tell me that you have a good plan." ā
"yes, I'm really good. ā
"I'll go!"
Lu Ming patted his head, "Is there a mistake? You also call it fortune telling? Are you sure you're not playing tricks?"
"The son is not impatient, and listens to the old man's explanation. ā
Xiaoyaozi changed to a serious expression again, and said: "Childe, you are a young man, and your future achievements are immeasurable......"
"Nonsense!", Lu Ming scolded secretly.
"But you're going to have three plagues in the future!"
"You continue. ā
Lu Ming was suddenly extremely bored, so he looked at the old Taoist and talked nonsense seriously.
"I see that you have a relationship with my Taoist sect, so I will give you a fourteen-character heavenly machine to help you see through the world and take refuge in the right path. ā
"Tell me about it. ā
Xiaoyaozi immediately attached his ear and said: "This hexagram cloud: Meritorious service was harmed by others, and his wife was separated, which is for the two major disasters. ā
"What about the third plague?"
"This third plague ......"
Xiaoyaozi pinched his fingers and counted for a moment, then shook his head and said, "This third calamity ...... I can't tell...... I don't know. ā
"With that said, I'm leaving. ā
Lu Ming immediately got up to leave, but was immediately stopped by Xiaoyaozi: "Childe, don't go, I haven't finished talking yet." (To be continued.) )
