Chapter 114: Dare
"Dao Xuan, today the Lord of the Observation will personally receive the visitors of the One True Temple in the Purple Light Palace, and your master happens to be by the side, you can bring two or three people to wait, and see what your master has sent." If it were someone else, Daoist Zeng would not have sent this errand immediately, but Chen Fan, Daoist Zeng was still relieved.
"Yes, Master Zeng." After Chen Fan finished speaking to Zeng Daochang, he then looked around and said, "Mo Jin, Wu Tong, Lan Jing, you can go with me." "It is the proper meaning to choose Mo Jin and Wutong, after all, the force value of these two people is on the table, and they shouted Lan Jing, not because the relationship between the two is particularly good, but because after contacting Lan Jing, he feels that he has good communication skills, and he can give full play to his expertise in the matter of receiving guests.
The Purple Light Hall is the place where the Lord personally receives the guests, and it is naturally magnificent, not comparable to the Dongyue Palace. The hall is spacious and bright, the main viewer sits in the middle, the guests and hosts on the left and right sides are seated, there are also many people standing in the hall, Xiao Qing naturally belongs to the person who is standing, and he is standing in the center of the hall, opposite him, there is also a Taoist priest, who looks slightly older than Xiao Qing, and is facing Xiao Qing with an arrogant face.
When Chen Fan arrived, he happened to hear the conversation between the two.
"Yuan Tong, you are the personal disciple of the Lord of the Xu Palace, since you represent the True Martial Arts Concept to learn from me, I don't know if you dare to make a bet with me?"
"Bet on what?" Chen Fan listened to Xiao Qing's cold reply, and somehow, he felt that Xiao Qing was a little naΓ―ve, "It's better than that, what's there to bet on?" If it's me, I'll fight first. Chen Fan thought in his heart.
"My true view is the world's grand view, many people want to worship the door but can't, it just so happens that I lack a sword attendant, if you lose, worship my true view, be my sword attendant."
What is Swordsman? To put it bluntly, he is a slave who serves the swordsman, that is, a sword slave, Chen Fan heard this, and a nameless fire suddenly appeared in his heart, this Xiao Qing is his aunt's son, that is, his maternal brother, the key is to be very good to him, let Xiao Qing be his attendant, this is not even him insulted!
At the moment, he was not polite, and stood outside the door and said loudly: "Dao Xuan was ordered by the master to lead three new students to come to the palace to listen to orders. β
Xiao Qing, who was about to answer, heard Chen Fan's voice, but he did not rush to answer the question of the Taoist priest opposite, but looked towards the door of the hall.
"It's Dao Xuan, come in." At this time, the viewer, who was worried about how Xiao Qing would deal with this situation, heard Chen Fan's voice, and his heart was overjoyed, and he spoke.
Chen Fan heard the voice of the Lord, and a stone in his heart fell, and he said softly at the moment: "Let's go in." Then he led everyone and entered the Purple Light Palace.
"Participate in the observation of the Lord and all the teachers." When he arrived in the hall, Chen Fan also calmed down, feeling that he was making a big fuss, winning or losing for the time being, but Xiao Qing is not a nerd, he should have his own set of ways to deal with it, what is he anxious about? didn't look at Xiao Qing at the moment, but led everyone to the front of the viewer, bowed down and said.
Guan Zhu nodded slightly, but did not speak to Chen Fan, but turned his head sideways to an old Taoist priest in his upper left hand and said: "Xiu Zhenren, this little Taoist priest is Jia Shuo's new personal disciple this year, and he has a little experience in Wen Dao, why don't you let him be Jia Shuo's first hand and help entertain real people on the side?" β
When Chen Fan heard the praise of the Lord, not only was he not happy, but his heart tightened for no reason. First, in this scene, Chen Fan is reluctant to come forward, and the praise of the Lord, in Chen Fan's opinion, is to attract the jealousy of others for himself, and if he is not good, he will get into trouble; Second, the viewer is talking about the way of literature, not the way of chess. According to Chen Fan's knowledge, the chess road is just one of the Wen Dao, compared with the Wen Dao, it is a small road, and the Wen Tao is a big road, to know astronomy, down to know geography, including scriptures, poetry, etiquette, painting and other knowledge, said that he has experience in Wen Dao, that is to lift him, Chen Fan will never dare to accept it in his heart, but on this occasion, the viewer is not speaking to him, although he wants to be humble, but at this time he has to act as if he did not hear, and his face still maintains a respectful expression, not showing the slightest abnormality.
If you want to say that Chen Fan's understanding of Wendao, you have to mention Tianji Pavilion, where you can learn divination, which is inseparable from the understanding of history, Chen Fan was at that time, knowing the general history of this world, and also knowing what Wendao is.
The era of the Five Emperors in Chinese history, even if it is a history book, it is not well described, Chen Fan has only heard some legends, and whether there is a gap between the ancient times in this era, naturally there is no way to compare, but for the history after the five dynasties, Chen Fan knows a little bit about the history after the five dynasties, China established the first dynasty, the Xia Dynasty, to the development of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but it is similar to this era, there are also Qin, Han, Jin and other dynasties. It's just that before the Jin Dynasty, except for the fact that Qin Shi Huang did not burn books and pit Confucianism, the rest of the major events were basically the same as those of ancient China, and there were also Liu Bang and Xiang Yu.
However, due to the fact that there was no book burning and Confucianism, the contention of a hundred schools of thought in the Spring and Autumn Period continued, so that the chess path could be developed in this context, and there was a grade system in which chess ranks were judged by chess ranks. And the hundred schools of thought contended, and divided the cultivation system into two major roads, that is, the two ways of civil and martial arts, of which martial arts and immortal cultivation spells are classified as martial arts, and the rest of the cultivation is called Wendao; In the hundred schools, Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, because they not only practice the law of immortality, but also pay attention to educating all people and purifying all sentient beings, so these three schools are also called Xuanmen, Xuanmen competition, who is the first, refers to the struggle of these three families.
After the Jin Dynasty, the north was ruled by Wei, the south experienced the Song and Qi, and now the Liang Dynasty, although the historical context is similar to that of ancient China, but the names of the characters have deviated a lot, the famous Liu Song Founding Emperor Liu Yu in Chinese history, the name of the founding emperor of the world is Liu Yu, and the names of the rest of the characters are roughly different from what Chen Fan knows, it can be seen that after the Jin Dynasty, the characters have deviated a lot from the historical figures known to Chen Fan, which makes Chen Fan full of curiosity about the origin of this world, but one thing that Chen Fan is sure of is that This is not ancient China.
Of course, to get down to business, the conversation continued.
I only heard the answer from the master who called Xiu Zhenren and said: "Oh, you have experience in Wendao at a young age? That's a rarity. However, this article is broad and profound, and it is very wide-ranging, I don't know what this little Taoist is good at? β
"I have a little bit of knowledge in chess and poetry, and I also have some experience in divination, and this time I went to Kyoto, and I passed the certification of the four grades of chess power." The Lord replied.
I have a knack for divination! When Chen Fan heard this, he suddenly woke up. After he came back, he would learn divination in the Tianji Pavilion, and reported to the master, but he didn't say that he had experience in divination, and he didn't say that he joined the Tianji Pavilion, but he just said that he met the three elders of Meishan in the poetry meeting, and the three elders of Meishan saw that he was talented, so he went to the Tianji Pavilion to learn the art of divination for a few days, but it is estimated that it has reached the ears of the master, and the heart may be a little unhappy, and his own things have not been learned well, so he went to learn other things. Fortunately, Tianji Pavilion is just a place to beg for life on the surface, and it does not belong to the Taoist temple forbidden to do, it should still be within the scope of the master's tolerance, but it is only tolerable, now he says that he has experience in divination, that is, he is beating him, asking him not to look outward, to remember that he is still in the Taoist temple, it is the Taoist temple that is cultivating him, and after asking himself to know the reason, Chen Fan's heart also feels more steady, for him, as long as he knows the problem, then there is a remedy.
"Oh, and you have a knack for divination?" This old Taoist priest called Xiuzhen was interested, and asked the master: "As far as I know, although Guiguan has a divination tradition, there has never been such an amazing person, I wonder how this little Taoist priest can be so praised by you?" "It seems that this old Taoist priest is very old, and he did not call the master, but directly called the name of the master, and the words clearly said that your family's divination inheritance is average, and this experience is just your own opinion.
The reason why the master mentioned divination is not as Chen Fan thought, he didn't like Chen Fan to learn divination outside, as the master, this point is still elegant, but he wants to find an opportunity to investigate Chen Fan's ability in this area, who is called the lack of talents in this area of Zhenwuguan, in the heart of the master, this Xuan is not bad if it can develop in this area, after all, let the master of Tianji Pavilion take the initiative to recruit, and the talent must be extraordinary. But how extraordinary? As a viewer, there is no bottom in his heart, and it is not easy to answer the question of cultivating the old way, but fortunately, he has been the master for many years, and his face is thick enough, so he should not hear the meaning of the old way at the moment, but directly shook the pot and said: "I only know a little, Daoxuan, you can talk about it yourself." β
How to answer this is a science, neither blind and arrogant, nor can it weaken the prestige of the Taoist temple, and it can be regarded as a test for Chen Fan by the master. For Chen Fan, this is a good opportunity to show loyalty to the Taoist temple, and it is also the time to show his ability, and he replied without hurrying at the moment: "The disciple is fortunate to join the Taoist temple and learn the Taoism, the Taoist method in the view is extensive, and the art of divination is only a small way in the vast Taoism, which is often ignored by the disciples in the view, so the reputation is not obvious, Yu is fortunate to follow Master Bai to learn, and came into contact with the art of divination, fortunately, the memory and understanding are acceptable, so it is valued by the masters." "If you want to talk about memory and understanding, with the help of "Chengyin", the Nandou arithmetic of Taoism can be said to be backwards, and it is understood thoroughly, and Chen Fan took out his biggest advantage at present to deal with it.
"Oh, little doll, you are wrong, this divination technique is not a small way, it is also known as Yi Dao, it is a kind of avenue, but to guess the will of heaven with the body of a mortal, often short life is blessed, so there are very few practitioners, and all the scriptures involving the heavenly machine are obscure, the most difficult is to understand, since you think your understanding is acceptable, why don't you let the old Tao test you, to see how much of your understanding is the meaning of the scriptures?" This old cultivator is unceremoniously, first bluntly pointed out the mistakes in Chen Fan's language, and then he wanted to make Chen Fan make a fool of himself in public in the name of assessment, in fact, he wanted to slap the face of the true martial arts temple.
