Chapter 17: The Pulse of Tiangang

The Luohe Poetry Club was originally a good opportunity for the prince to become famous, but he didn't want to be stolen by me tonight and lose face.

He originally wanted to take this opportunity, and then Su Boyong pushed him to become famous in Kyoto with this help, and it was logical to hold a beauty and write a good story.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Beiyou did not show all his strength when reshaping the new words of butterfly love flowers, not only did he not save the only remaining face for the prince, but instead admitted defeat in public and damaged his reputation.

This unexpected move was something that even I didn't expect.

The other scholars present were even more stunned and puzzled.

I Shure smiled, and there was no smug in my smile after a fluke victory.

Zheng Beiyou walked away after admitting defeat, his back was a little lonely, and he probably realized that the atmosphere here really couldn't accommodate him, so he took the initiative to leave the house by himself.

When everyone saw Zheng Beiyou leave without resignation, they were dumbfounded, but no one stepped forward to save them, or follow them to see them off.

As soon as Zheng Beiyou left, no one dared to compete with me anymore.

I think that except for a few people, there is no water in the fame, and the rest of the people should be mostly fame and reputation sellers.

Otherwise, these people, as long as they have a few literati who can be killed and cannot be humiliated, will never let me continue to dominate.

Wang Gongwang glared at me coldly with a pair of murderous eyes at this time, accompanied by a cold snort full of resentment and gnashing teeth, and also shook his face away, leaving only a widow's back.

"Hmph, we'll have a date later!"

Seeing Wang Gongwang leave angrily, the red-clothed bustard girl was so frightened that she hurriedly chased after her and returned the gold ingots in her hand.

Although the nobles on the second floor looked anxious, they were afraid that tonight's incident would anger His Royal Highness, the prince of the Divine General's Mansion who could not afford to offend, and cause trouble, but no one stepped forward to say a comforting word.

Thinking that the temperament of this god general's prince has long been known, tonight's poetry meeting has lost such a big face, and the prince's leisure and elegance at this moment have long been rushed out of the clouds with anger.

In order to prevent the narrow-minded prince from retaliating afterwards, the red-clothed bustard girl accelerated her pace to catch up, and at the same time gave the prince Wang Wangwang compensation again and again.

To offend this bad-tempered rich man is tantamount to digging his own grave.

Although Huafang Red Mansion is a legitimate official prostitute, the red-clothed bustard girl really can't imagine the consequences of offending the prince with the word "official".

The year before last, this gentleman had a fight with a rich family in the Red Mansion, causing a storm in the city.

In the end, the rich kid was not only crippled by a group of unknown masters, but also suffered inexplicably from several of the family's properties.

Others may not know the details of this matter, but the red mansion flower boat with many mouths is full of people, and people come and go every day.

I saw that the prince was leaving in a bad mood, and finally took a big breath, and then shook his head at the dog master, looking helpless.

"To rob people of fame and to rob people of the beauty that they are determined to win is tantamount to murder and punishment...... With such an act of hatred, I am afraid that I will inevitably be retaliated against by the Divine General's Mansion in the future! โ€

The dog master, who didn't think so, squinted his drunken eyes and smiled slightly: "Do you have the courage to step on the shoulders of others to make a name, but don't you have the courage to keep this hard-won reputation?" โ€

Just as the red-clothed bustard girl said when she played the round just now, there is no first in the text, there is no second in the martial arts, and if you want to rely on this false name to get around Luoyang, you don't have the absolute strength to be fearless after all.

Looking out of the big house, like the night, I sighed softly and said, "This trip to Kyoto has made me understand a truth...... No matter how the way of the world changes, strength is always the way to survive. โ€

What is strength?

Money, power, power.

These three, if they do not occupy the same, have the ability to cultivate the world, it is not impossible.

On the other hand, I don't have the strength recognized by this world, I don't have half a stomach of ink, I can't guide the country, and I don't have the broad mind to help the world and save the people.

Boredom is a scholar, in fact, this is also a kind of sadness.

The most powerless and incompetent sorrow of a reader is that he understands the truth, but he is powerless and helpless outside the truth.

"Tonight's win is just a false name, and I can feel that Zheng Beiyou, the great-great-grandson of Zheng Guogong's mansion, doesn't seem to be doing his best...... Maybe he didn't want to bend his spine too much for the sake of the prince. โ€

The dog smiled slightly, with a happy wrinkled face, he patted me on the shoulder, and looked at me with a pair of scarlet drunken eyes, his eyes were full of relief.

"People are precious and self-aware, which means that you have not forgotten what you are doing...... In my opinion, your talent is not inferior to that of the Zheng family, if you are willing to devote yourself to cultivation and know the destiny of heaven together, you may not be able to make a meritorious deed. โ€

Master Dog's words made me a little excited, and I couldn't even tell at first glance whether this was a deception against his will, or a warm praise from his bottom of his heart.

Lu Yao couldn't help but roll his eyes whenever the dog master played tricks, but fortunately, at this moment, he didn't go against the dog master, but took out a scroll from the treasure bag on his waist.

"Lu Changqing, the main bookkeeper in front of the account, has made a great contribution today, and he will be rewarded with a copy of "Tiangang Tongmai Jue".

Tiangang Tongmai Formula?

I have never set foot in the method of cultivation, and I have only read the "Daozang Sutra", which is regarded as a must-read by practitioners all over the world, and I still have a half-bucket of water level that I know little about cultivation.

Lu Yao rewarded me with this scroll, I can be described as lonely and unheard, I can only open my eyes as if I was thirsty for knowledge, and asked the dog master in a low voice: "What is the "Tiangang Tongmai Jue"? โ€

The dog master didn't know whether he really understood, or slapped his swollen face and became fat, so he opened his mouth and said: "The way of cultivation is to steal yin and yang, seize heaven and earth, and grasp the cycle of life and death...... When you're ready to practice, try to condense your breath and you'll understand. โ€

Hearing this, my face burst with joy, and I grinned happily: "According to this, the content of this scroll is still a cultivation treasure. โ€

The dog master replied to me with a not salty and indifferent, unbelievable expression, which made me feel very bottomless, and I was embarrassed to refute Lu Yao's kindness, so I could only carry the scroll he rewarded me in his arms.

The poetry meeting came to an end, and in the big house, the nobles I saw pity were looking at us with strange eyes.

I was really a little shy by a group of nobles, so I lowered my head, looked at Lu Yao, and asked, "Do you really want to take these nobles?" โ€

Lu Yao nodded his chin affirmatively, glanced at the nobles on the second floor, and said to me firmly: "Beauty is moving, I don't believe in filial piety Mazi can resist the temptation of beauty, one is not enough, then two, two is not enough, I will invite a group of ......"

Lu Yao, who was imperative, said as he spoke, with a trace of sadness and bitterness in his eyes: "If I can't seek the blood of the nine saints to lure out the young Jiao in my body within three years, how can I return to Weiguo to regain my strength and clean up the old mountains and rivers...... My freedom was bought with my father's life, and I can't be ashamed of my father! โ€

It is rumored that Prince Dan died after drinking and hanging himself on the southeast branch, and today I dare to conclude from Lu Yao's words that Prince Dan's death is by no means as simple as rumored.

As for this unworthy prince and grandson of Wei Kingdom, I don't know if he really wants to change his life against the sky, return to Wei Kingdom one day, and take us to fight a big world?

Regarding the origin of the pockmarked boy, I speculated with clues that he should be from Dongyi.

Dongyi etiquette system, parents drive cranes, and should be filial piety for three years.

According to the ancient rites of Dongyi, three years of filial piety is actually twenty-five months, not three years.

The pockmarked boy is a native of Dongyi, why should he bury his mother in the willow forest on the other side of the Luo River, instead of being buried in the grave of his father's family, there is a lot of discussion on the streets of Luoyang, and no one has pried open the mouth of the filial piety boy who is not good at words.

It stands to reason that the twenty-five months of filial piety has passed, and the pockmarked boy no longer needs to obey the precepts, but according to my observation in the past few days, this pock-faced young man with a persistent personality and no smile seems to have no idea of leaving Luoyang.

As for the peachwood sword that has been in the dog's heart for three years, I have never seen any signs or thoughts of him giving it up.

Because of this, the anxious Lu Yao made this decision, and did not hesitate to use beauties to mess with his heart, so as to force the dog master to carry a sword to Qingfeng Mingyue Tower as soon as possible, and challenge the Confucian Taoist saint in the study building, who is known as not a heaven and a man and does not go downstairs.

Not to mention that I have no confidence in the dog master, even if I have confidence, I don't think that to defeat the Confucianism and Taoism saint Zheng Taibai, I have to use the mediocre mahogany sword on the pockmarked boy!

With this expectation, I began to wait for Lu Yao's good show with curiosity, and I wanted to see how the dog master challenged Zheng Taibai with a peachwood sword.
