Chapter 68: I can't afford to lose a battle of words

Two days later.

At the beginning of the morning, Zhao Xiaobai was awakened by the sound of cars and horses outside the door, and hurriedly called the little girl to get up.

After a little tidying up and opening the door, the crown outside the door was like a cloud, Zhu Zidao was in a group, the colorful ladies were in rows, and the senior brother was standing in front with a smile.

Behind him, stood two neatly dressed young Taoists with strict faces.

Zhao Xiaobai was taken aback, and said in his mouth: "This, this, this is ......"

The senior brother smiled and said: "Don't be surprised, little Daoist, please go in to bathe and change clothes first, and then follow me into the palace." ”

"But you have to hurry, His Majesty the Emperor has come to meet you in a chariot that will arrive soon. ”

Speaking of this, he turned around and pointed to the row of Huacai benevolent women, and said, "No, the first batch of palace maids who came to report the news are here." ”

Then, he gestured to the two Dao aunts on the side who were holding luxurious robes in both hands, and the two women hugged in, pulled Zhao Xiaobai and went to take a shower and change clothes.

That posture is a bit like an eagle catching Xiaoji.

About three moments later, Zhao Xiaobai wore a white robe, ebony hair, elegant demeanor, and a depressed expression, and boarded the carriage bound for the palace of Cangwu Kingdom surrounded by everyone.

Xiao Ziyue Yueyue has a white long skirt, cloud temples are high, and she holds a long sword in her hand, silently following behind him, and she is a little swordsman.

The carriage was wide, and there were five people seated, in addition to Ziyue and Senior Brother, there were two young Daoists who were standing behind Senior Brother just now.

Zhao Xiaobai knew that these were his two "defense friends".

He was a little apprehensive in his heart: Well, these are my two teammates, but I don't know how strong these two are. As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of a god-like opponent, you are afraid of a pig-like teammate!

The senior brother introduced them one by one, and it turned out that these two people had a Dao name Mingyun, and they had already been distracted, and they looked dignified and stable, and their bearing was strict.

The other is called Ming Feng, saying that he is an experienced player who has participated in the last discussion and is good at Taoist spells.

Ming Feng gave a detailed explanation to Zhao Xiaobai about the procedures and rules of the discussion meeting, and the large part of the explanation made Zhao Xiaobai stunned when he heard it, and said in his heart: What, it's so complicated.

"There are three games, three wins and two wins. ”

"One is a discussion of the scriptures, but you don't use your hands; the second is a comparison of magic, mainly to bluff people, and it can be achieved without being seen through; three games are really hard, directly hard, and the fists and swords are superior. ”

"The so-called discussion of the scriptures, of course, is the first discussion of the scriptures, and this battle of tongues, Xiaobai Daoyou, you should not let it. ”

Zhao Xiaobai didn't squeak, he had already thought of it. The senior brother waited for others, and spent a lot of effort to lure himself to the bait, so he naturally wanted to sing the main role.

Otherwise, one by one, they look like people who are trading at a loss?

"Senior Brother Mingyun is responsible for the rude work of fighting, and I am responsible for playing some small tricks, and it is enough to win two of the three games. However, the first discussion is something that you can't afford to lose, it's a matter of face!"

Zhao Xiaobai nodded slightly, he knew that if he lost, even if he won the last two games, then this national teacher would definitely be a very wretched, not much better than improper.

After Ming Feng's introduction, the senior brother sighed and said with deep feelings: "The five-year discussion meeting in Cangwu Country is actually a major event of Buddhism and Taoism in the southern part of the country, which has always attracted the attention of tens of millions of people. ”

Speaking of this, he deliberately lifted the corner of the window, and the noisy voices on the street suddenly poured in, making Zhao Xiaobai feel that there were many people in Cangwu Country.

The senior brother only glanced at it slightly, then slowly lowered the curtain and said, "Not only the courtiers, including the royal family, but also the princes of the hundred battles will participate in the audit. Even the princesses and concubines in the palace, and the wealthy ladies have to sit and watch through the curtains. ”

"Of course, there are indispensable celebrities in the rivers and lakes, scattered cultivators of various factions, social elites, celebrities from other countries, envoys and ministers, all of whom are all in the same place. ”

At the scene of the meeting, many people were arranged to continuously release news to the outside world, so that the people in the city who were looking forward to it, scholars, swordsmen, talented women, celebrities, celebrities, and so on, could grasp the trend of the competition as soon as possible. ”

"Even the other continents are ......"

The senior brother was talking endlessly, but Zhao Xiaobai was distracted when he listened.

What he was thinking was: "Well, isn't this just a live broadcast? I wonder if there's a video connection? Hehe.

......

Needless to say, the palace is majestic and the prohibition is strict.

His Majesty the Emperor of Cangwu Kingdom is nearly fifty years old, dressed in a golden dragon robe, with a wide mouth and wide eyebrows, and a tiger looking at the eagle, looking like the spring and autumn are in full bloom.

Zhao Xiaobai greeted him surrounded by the Taoists of the Shenxiao Temple.

It's not rude either.

In this world of cultivating immortals, monks are originally masters of the world, and they do not kneel when they see the emperor. If a more respected immortal came, the emperor had to bow first.

The emperor looked at him and was really talented, he was young, but he was overjoyed, he looked at him a few times with blazing eyes, and said: "This session of the Discussion of the Scriptures is also a coincidence, and there is also a young monk among the contestants of Lingbao Temple, and he is as handsome as Xiaobai Daochang. ”

"Hahaha, Shuangyinghui, rare, rare! I believe that today's discussion must be very exciting!"

Zhao Xiaobai smiled slightly, and said in his heart: There are countless Buddhist believers, the disciples are prosperous, and it is not worth making a fuss about having a young monk. For example, the dustless little monk I met that time was not older than himself, and his cultivation was amazing.

I don't know, how does this young monk compare with him today?

He followed the senior brother and the others into the venue, and through the buzzing voice, he glanced up and down, left and right, and found that the venue was indeed extremely wide, full of gold and purple, and the crown was like a cloud.

In the center of the venue, there are three contestant seats on the left and right, and they stand on a high platform.

In the middle row, it is written in upright italics: Referee.

There is already a seventy-year-old Confucian student and two middle-aged scholars, needless to say, the referee must be in the same vein as Wensheng.

looked at the color of the old Confucian student's uniform, purple, then, this person is at least a jinshi, the assistant referee on both sides, purple on the chest, blue on the body, lifting people.

Those who can be referees here are not unknown.

The first one in the east, the Huanglong jade chair, is naturally the seat of the Emperor Cangwu; at the bottom of the emperor's throne, there is a person dressed in bright yellow, young and handsome, needless to say that it is His Royal Highness the Prince.

Under the crown prince, two purple-robed princes, their shoulders, cuffs and chest are bright and yellow, and they are the prince's two royal brothers, King Anxi and King Pingnan.

Behind the emperor's throne, a jade curtain rippled slightly, and wisps of fragrance came out of the inner room.

There are more people in the west, important members of the imperial court, foreign envoys, princes and nobles, scattered monks, reckless rivers and lakes, social elites, and so on.

The seats of the two sides of the contestants are lined up in the north and south, and the Shenxiao Temple is arranged in the north. Zhao Xiaobai casually glanced at the seat of the Lingbao Temple in the south, and was immediately taken aback!

The first monk on the right, young, with red lips and white teeth, looks extremely smart, isn't it a dustless little monk?

Your uncle, last time in Wumeng Barren Mountain, a fight was not made, I can't imagine that today, I fell on the opposite here?

couldn't help but smile at him, and the monk also grinned slightly, and stopped caring about people.

The referee introduced himself first, but as soon as they spoke, Zhao Xiaobai suddenly lost his eyes!
