Chapter 114: Recruiting a Son-in-law?
Toad Palace, of course, this is not the Toad Palace, just the courtyard of Lu Mansion, there is no rockery and flowing water, there is no hundred flowers around, clear and falling, like the courtyard of ordinary people, fortunately there are a few laurel trees in the yard.
Although the yard is more ordinary, it is paved with bluestone, which is better than being clean and simple, but these people sitting in the yard are really not simple.
Ling Feng, who read through the scriptures at the age of sixteen in the Southern Heavenly Domain, the five sons of the Beihai Academy, the bookworm Lu Yu and the sisters of the Lu family, most of the people here can even call their names by Chu Ge from the Southern Regions, it is conceivable that these young men and women are really quite famous.
The white-haired old man sitting above the hundred sons is the organizer of the Zhegui annual meeting, Mr. Lu Yuan, this old man once taught on the book mountain, although he was expelled from the mundane for unknown reasons, but his status is still outstanding in the entire Tianshu Island. As rumored, Mr. Lu is really a tiger's back, seven feet tall, even the old dragon bell is still in good spirits, and the pupils the size of copper bells are a little sunken, but they are still as sharp as an eagle falcon.
"...... Start"
Lu Yuan's gaze swept over the young man present, and he spoke loudly. So the crowd stood up, their faces solemn.
"Knock ......"
The so-called buckle is to bow three times, worship the sky and worship the ancestors, this is the sacrificial etiquette of the Star Continent, and it is not sloppy at all. Fortunately, it was not cumbersome, and after bowing, everyone sat down, and the solemn atmosphere before eased a lot.
"The annual meeting is held before the opening of the book mountain, the purpose is to promote academic exchanges, select talents, even if you do not succeed in climbing the mountain in the end, you will have the opportunity to become a protégé of the old man, and you can always reach the top in ten years, twenty years, thirty years!"
Chu Ge pursed his lips, a person's youth is only twenty years, wouldn't it be too stupid to devote all this time to one thing? The answer is no, the talented and beautiful woman in the field told Chu Ge with her burning eyes The answer is that only mountaineering is the most important thing, that is the ideal and the realization of self-worth.
Lu Yuan smiled lightly and stroked his beard because he noticed Chu Ge in the crowd, no matter how he looked or other aspects, he didn't have the slightest outstanding, but after hearing these words, his eyes were as unwavering as clear water and a secluded pool, without a trace of burning.
Lu Yuan frowned slightly, thinking to himself who this person was, he should not be in the list of hundred sons. He glanced at Chu Ge, quickly looked away, and only then said something that made the scene suddenly silent.
"In fact, this annual meeting, as well as some selfishness of the old man, presumably you know that the two daughters of the old man are now in the boudoir, and the youngest daughter Lu Su is all through the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and now she is eighteen years old and has reached the age of leaving the cabinet. The old man is thinking about finding a wishful husband for Su Su at this annual meeting, everyone can play it to their heart's content, haha......"
Lu Yuan's laughter was extremely hearty, and when his words fell into the crowd, it was like thunder on the ground, and many people were wide-eyed, and their eyes were hot. Lu Yuan has two daughters, their appearance and figure are like fairies falling into the dust, the eldest daughter Lu Ji is gifted, and opened up the Star Mansion early after opening up the fifteen Yuan veins, and the youngest daughter Lu Su is smart since childhood, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, astronomy and geography are all fine, gentle temperament, and kindness, if you can marry one of the daughters, you don't know how many lifetimes of blessings you have cultivated, and I don't know how many people will be envious, so how can the ice dragon reverse scale be compared with this fate?
Of course, Chu Ge is not included among these people. He pondered for a moment, carefully pondering Lu Yuan's words before he couldn't help but secretly say to the old fox. This son-in-law or something doesn't even count as a promise, let alone a reward?
"I'll come first!"
A man in Tsing Yi glanced at Lu Su beside the old man with burning eyes, and then he made a respectful gesture, and finally walked to the middle of the field in high spirits, faced Baizi, and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu used the problem of Huo Yaoxing's reverse behavior, presumably not to ask us to really solve it, on this basis, after studying the scriptures hard, I have summed up a relatively likely answer, I hope you will give me some advice." ”
"As we all know, the universe is composed of the Star Continent and the Seven Stars, and among the Seven Stars, in addition to the Sun Star and the Taiyin Star, the Fire Star is the closest star to us. He was also the first star that most fire-type cultivators condensed in the small universe of Xingfu......"
Speaking of this, the man paused deliberately, and after his gaze swept over everyone, he smiled and said, "Down there is a fire cultivator, and Tong Guò simulates the fire star retrograde in the small universe and finds the sixteenth Yuan Vein. ”
"What!"
"How...... How is that possible?"
"This person's name is Ding Shan, and he is ranked last among the five sons of the book collection, and if the sixteenth Yuan Vein is passed because of this, this ranking will inevitably change. ”
Not only those who stood on the corridor around the courtyard, but even in the center of the venue, there were many people who showed stunned expressions. But after a while, a short young man walked out, looked at him and said indifferently: "Sixteenth Yuan Vein? If everyone does what you do, then the stars will go crazy and go crazy, can you afford this responsibility? Hmph...... it has already been clearly recorded in the "Ganshi Star Sutra" that the real reason for the retrograde movement of the Huoyao Star is actually caused by the gravitational pull of the Sun Star, what is the argument on this question?"
The young man's name is Yin Xu, he is a disciple of the old man of Penglai Tianji, and he has been a teacher since he opened the Star Mansion at the age of fourteen.
After several fierce debates, Ding Shan was finally defeated, Chu Ge was surprised, this young man's speech was too clever, even though his theory was full of loopholes, but Ding Shan was stunned from beginning to end and had no chance to fight back.
What everyone didn't expect was that this Penglai boy had passed all the way and defeated four people from the Book Collection Sect in a row, forcing Ding Yu, the first son of the prestigious Book Collector, to make an early move, which sent him back to the seat.
"Look at what!" The young man saw that Chu Ge was staring at him, and said with his mouth puffed out, looking extremely unwilling.
Chu Ge laughed dryly, and continued to focus on the battlefield in the middle of the courtyard, the first son of the book collection was really not in vain, and even Mr. Lu couldn't help but admire his profound knowledge.
After a long time, when Ding Yu won twelve games in a row, there was a brief silence in the field, and many people who were eager to try were frowning and thinking hard, trying to find the loopholes in Ding Yu's words from the previous rounds of rebuttals, so there was such a situation, the people who could defeat the first son of the Tibetan scriptures would not exceed four in the field, Ling Feng of the Southern Heaven Domain, Lu Yu, a bookworm, and Lu Su, the talented daughter of Jinling City, and Shen Wenze, the second young master of the Shen family.
The first two are from the Daomen sect, the latter are both born in a family on Tianshu Island, Lu Su naturally needless to say, and Shen Wenze is not an ordinary gentleman, he is a really talented person, not to mention reading through the Dao Jingyi, the collection of thousands of books in Tianshu Pavilion has long been familiar with it, although his temperament is not very good, Shen Wenze's talent is also a recognized fact, otherwise how could he have such confidence to "invite" Chu Ge to participate in the annual meeting of Zhegui, and let him lose face.
So, under the watchful eye of all people, Shen Wenze smiled slightly, sorted out his fanhua clothes and walked out of the crowd.
