Chapter 55: Salutation

Xu Qi knew in his heart that this Tian Zongyun must be thinking about himself, but he never expected this grandson to be so attentive and wait for him at the city gate.

Xu Qi just didn't expect Tian Zongyun to be so impatient, and he didn't panic at all. He rode his horse to the city gate, arched his hand towards the white-bearded old man on the city tower, and said, "Under Xu Qingzhi, didn't you ask which great venerable one is above?"

"It's good to say," the white-bearded old man's courtesy was also thoughtful, and he arched his hand to Xu Qi, and said: "Guozijian is useless and rotten, Yu Yang Yu Changhong." ”

Xu Qi had never heard of this Yu Yang's reputation, but he heard the voice of Chu Zhou, who had already turned over and dismounted beside him, and gasped for air.

Lowering his voice, Xu Qi asked Chu Zhou, "What, Brother Chu, this person has a big way?"

Chu Zhou said: "This person is one of the Confucian masters in the world, although he does not have a temporary position in the Guozi Prison, but he often lectures in the Guozi Prison, and most of his disciples are officials in the court, and his reputation is quite great, but this Mr. Yu Yang does not like to show his head on weekdays, and he is unwilling to get involved in other things. Tian Zongyun can invite this Mr. Yu, it is really ...... Terrible. ”

Xu Qi nodded when he heard this, still sat on the horse, and said to Yu Yang on the city gate: "It turned out to be Mr. Yu Yang, and he was polite." ”

Seeing that Xu Qi still didn't get off the horse, Tian Zongyun on the side said coldly: "Xu Qi, since you claim to be a member of the Confucian sect, why don't you get off the horse and pay a full salute when you see the teacher?"

"I am indeed a Confucian, but if you want to talk about etiquette, it really depends on what Mr. Tian means. ”

Xu Qi sat on the horse steadily, without the slightest intention of dismounting: "If Mr. Tian thinks that I am a Confucian, I will naturally dismount and pay full salutes." But if Mr. Tian thinks that I am not a Confucian, then Mr. Yu Yang is not my teacher, and this etiquette does not make sense. ”

There is a hole in Xu Qi's words, and Tian Zongyun can't reply at all. Now that this posture has been put out today, Tian Zongyun will definitely not be able to say that Xu Qi is a member of Confucianism, otherwise this face will be in vain.

Xu Qi lost face on the upper floor around the beam, and Tian Zongyun said that he had to get it back today.

As soon as he put away the folding fan in his hand, Tian Zongyun didn't answer Xu Qi's words, turned to Yu Yang Shili on the side and said, "Uncle Yu, the person is already here, and I still have to work for Uncle Shi." ”

Yu Yang shook his head and said in a low voice: "It's a Confucian matter, but to make such a big splash is really detrimental to Sven's ......."

Yu Yang didn't want to get involved in today's matter, but it was Tian Zongyun who came to invite him, and his master was also a Confucian master and was in charge of the country. When Yu Yang was lecturing in Guozi Prison, Tian Zongyun's master took good care of him. Even if he didn't want to come, he couldn't help but give this face.

Taking a step forward, Yu Yang said loudly: "Mr. Xu, it's polite." What Mr. Xu said is quite related, and Mr. Xu is not surprised by some offends. ”

"It makes sense that I have to work Mr. Yu. ”

Xu Qi sat on the horse, took out Wang Mingshi's portable jade pendant, rolled up the blood mist, and sent the jade pendant to the city.

The reason why Xu Qi wanted to take Wang Mingshi's jade pendant at that time was to prove his identity to Confucianism. This jade pendant is not recognized by ordinary people, but it is also a Confucian master, so he must be able to understand what this jade pendant means.

When Xu Qi and Tian Zongyun Yuyang on the city tower answered, there were many people at the city gate who were watching the excitement. Now seeing Xu Qiyi's move, the blood mist flew, and the crowd suddenly panicked.

But as long as it is a decent method, where have you ever seen a shot of blood mist flying wildly? At a glance, this method is nine points like a means of cultivation in the evil way.

Seeing this blood mist coming, Tian Zongyun subconsciously tightened his hands. Seeing that this blood mist didn't rush straight up, Tian Zongyun relieved himself and sneered on the side: "A body of cultivation is full of deflatment, Xu Qi, you still dare to say that you are a Confucian disciple?"

"Did you say it counted?"

Xu Qi was too lazy to take care of Tian Zongyun, put the jade pendant on the head of the city, and withdrew the blood mist. Once this method is used in public, it will inevitably attract strange eyes, and Xu Qi knows it in his heart. But apart from this blood mist, Xu Qi really doesn't have any means to transport goods by air, so he can't run to the city gate tower, right?

Yu Yang took the jade pendant and held it in his hand.

Up and down the castle tower, everyone looked at Yu Yang. He is a Confucian master and an authority, and it is up to him to decide whether the jade pendant given by Xu Qi can prove his identity.

Yu Yang glanced at the jade pendant, his eyes immediately widened, and his hands trembled. He looked at Xu Qi under the city gate, as if he wanted to say something, but finally stopped talking.

Looking down at the jade pendant in his hand, Yu Yang closed his eyes slightly, and the righteous qi in his hand churned, turning into several ways, each touching the jade pendant according to a certain rhythm.

Several tentacles-like Haoran righteousness touched this jade pendant for a while, and the jade pendant seemed to have sensed it, exuding a cloud of Haoran righteousness from the inside out.

The moment the two Haoran righteous qi came into contact, Yu Yang, who had closed his eyes slightly, trembled his lips, and there seemed to be a little teardrop about to roll down from the corner of his eye.

"Hoo ......"

Yu Yang raised his head and sighed, evaporating the tears on his face silently with Haoran's righteousness, and then turned his head and looked at Xu Qi downstairs at the city gate.

Xu Qi looked at him, still sitting on the horse, and didn't see the slightest intention of getting off the horse.

"Xu ......"

Yu Yang wanted to say something, but after pondering it repeatedly, he didn't open his mouth after all. At the mention of Haoran righteousness, Yu Yang flew straight down from the city gate tower and landed in front of Xu Qi.

On the tower of the city gate, the Confucian scholars hurriedly walked a few steps forward, squeezed to the edge of the city wall and looked down.

Tian Zongyun's face was triumphant, and he said secretly in his heart: "I have long known that this is just a guy pretending to be a disciple of Confucianism, and he even wants to deceive the Sect Master of Confucianism?

Yu Yang stood still, but he didn't wave his righteous qi to bombard Xu Qi, but walked up to Xu Qi and arched his hand to Xu Qi: "My senior brother...... Are you alright?"

Looking at Yu Yang, Xu Qi got off the horse and returned the salute, with a rather stunned tone: "Master respects him...... After passing the mantle to me, he ......"

In the end, Xu Qi didn't continue, but sighed softly.

"That ......"

Hearing Xu Qi say this, even though Yu Yang had already understood in his heart, the tears still couldn't stop falling. He wiped his tears and said to Xu Qi, "It's rude...... When Senior Brother Ming Shi was dying, did he have any regrets?"

"When the master was dying, his heart was thorough and very happy, but he had no regrets. ”

What Wang Mingshi said to Xu Qi on Zhishi Mountain was an idea that he had born when he was about to fall, and he had never said it to others. In the eyes of others, Wang Mingshi is a tragic hero who has fought against the immortal path all his life and has no regrets until death.

Although Xu Qi was very unkind to Wang Mingshi when he was arguing with him, it was also aimed at Wang Mingshi's mentality and words at that time. For Wang Mingshi himself, who has been fighting against the Immortal Dao almost all his life, Xu Qi still has some respect in his heart.

Now, Wang Mingshi is his nominal master, and the reputations of the two are tied together. Whether it was out of selfishness or his own heart, Xu Qi didn't want to ruin Wang Mingshi's reputation.

"Senior Brother Mingshi can have no regrets, it's good to have no regrets......"

Yu Yang's eyes were a little hollow, as if he was reminiscing about the dead Wang Mingshi. After a while, his eyes froze, his eyes sparkled, he looked at Xu Qi, and asked, "Then now, should I call you Jiuyang Demon Venerable, or call you Mr. Xu, or call you Senior Nephew Xu?"

Wang Mingshi fell to Zhishi Mountain in Jiuyang Mountain, which is something that most people in Confucianism know. As for the news from the north of Xinjiang that the Jiuyang Demon Venerable worships Wang Mingshi as a teacher, there are many people who know about it, but most of them are just treated as a joke, and few people take it seriously.

Yu Yang, as a Confucian Venerable, will not ignore this kind of seemingly unfounded news. It's just that the Jiuyang Demon Venerable is quite famous, and the seniority is extremely high, even if the Confucian Venerable is present, it is not easy to ask the Jiuyang Demon Venerable. Therefore, among the high-level Confucian scholars, this news has always been suspicious, and there is no confirmation.

Now that Xu Qi has taken out the jade pendant that Wang Mingshi has never left from his body, it is enough to prove that he is the fierce and famous Jiuyang Demon Venerable on Jiuyang Mountain. Except for the Jiuyang Demon Venerable, who on Jiuyang Mountain dares to enter the forbidden land Zhishi Mountain? Who can get the token passed down by Wang Mingshi before Wang Mingshi dies?

Why Jiuyang Demon Venerable was willing to surrender himself and worship under Wang Mingshi's sect, Yu Yang couldn't figure this out, and it was not what he was most concerned about at the moment.

What he cared about was the attitude of the Nine Yang Demon Venerable in front of him.

What is this Jiuyang Demon Venerable to do when he worships Confucianism? What is his intention in coming to the capital to go through this experience? Although he worships Wang Mingshi as his teacher, what is his attitude towards Confucianism?

Although Yu Yang is not an official, he is not a corrupt Confucian who does not understand the world. After understanding the identity of the young man in front of him, he grasped the point of the problem.

Jiuyang Demon Venerable, Mr. Xu, Master Xu's nephew.

These three titles are the three attitudes, although it is not so simple to fully grasp a person's mind and attitude, but at least you can see something from it.

When Yu Yang said this, everyone was in an uproar, and the Confucian students on the tower of the city gate were almost in a mess. Tian Zongyun, who was the leader, sent it away, and the fan almost didn't fall to the ground.

Listening to Master Yu's meaning, this person is the legendary Jiuyang Demon Venerable on Jiuyang Mountain, who worships the door of the Great Venerable Wang Mingshi?

No matter what others said, Yu Yang stared at Xu Qi closely, waiting for his answer.

Xu Qiyi smiled, did not answer Yu Yang's question directly, and said: "Those who are distant from me and enemies of me will call me Jiuyang Demon Venerable; those who are closer to me, such as this Chu brother on the side, will call me Brother Xu; those who want to follow me will call me a lord; I worship Confucianism, if Confucianism regards me as a fellow Taoist, naturally they should call me according to the seniority of the same sect." ”

After speaking, Xu Qi looked at Wang Mingshi with a smile and did not say more.

Demon Zun, Brother Xu, Lord Zun, Seniority.

The four salutations are also the four attitudes.

Yu Yang was silent for a moment, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Your Excellency's identity is really not ordinary, how to call it, I don't dare to say much about it, it is better to agree on it in the door...... However, the title is the title, the generation is the generation, the title cannot be determined, and the generation is still there. ”

Yu Yang stretched out his hand and said, "Jiuyang senior, please get on the horse, the junior will hold the reins for you." ”

Jiuyang Demon Venerable, that is a figure who has dealt with Confucian predecessors thousands of years ago, and his high rank is terrifying. Regarding the matter of Jiuyang Demon Venerable worshipping the Confucian, there is no unified attitude among the Confucian sect now, and the Jiuyang Demon Venerable cannot be regarded as a person in the Confucian Sect, and the generation is still there.

Yu Yang led the horse for the Jiuyang Demon Venerable, he recognized himself as a junior, and gave the Jiuyang Demon Venerable enough face. With this face, even if the "Jiuyang Demon Venerable" is quite ferocious, it is not good to reach out and hit the smiling person, and he can't be angry because of the vague attitude of Confucianism.

Xu Qi did not hesitate, turned over and got on the horse, and then said to Yu Yang, who was about to hold the reins and lead the horse: "Mr. Yu Yang, this seat has a request, please allow it." ”

Yu Yang was stunned for a moment, and arched his hand and said, "Jiuyang senior, please speak." ”

Xu Qi smiled, looked at the city gate, stretched out his hand and pointed at Tian Zongyun, who was a little sluggish on the city gate, and the tip of his tongue was like spring thunder: "Tian Zongyun, come and hold the reins for me!"
