"This Yazhuyuan is chic!"

The garden covers a huge area, and although it is a royal garden, there are not many traces of artificial arrangement. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The clear stream is murmuring, the bamboo forest is verdant, and the mounds surrounded by gravel paths can be seen from time to time with some cute beasts playing in them. The vast bamboo forest is divided into pieces by hills, paths and streams, and the shadows are dotted with some elegantly shaped pavilions.

The environment here is quiet, the air is fresh, and it is indeed a good place to play.

More than 100 warriors who went to the banquet last night were separated by the bamboo forest, and walking along the forest path, they could find groups of warriors from time to time, and there were actually many people chanting poems, paintings, playing the piano and playing games.

"A bunch of vassals and elegant guys!" Chen Ming scolded secretly, his gaze swept over those martial artists, and he raised his chin slightly, "Brother Bai, it seems that it has already begun, look at those guys......"

Bai Ya looked in the direction he signaled, and immediately noticed some "outsiders" in the martial arts group who were obviously different.

"It should be the five scholars sent by the royal family to recruit them!" Bai Ya said with a smile, "No wonder a group of martial arts practitioners suddenly became elegant, it turned out to be the atmosphere brought up by those scholars." ”

"Hey, Qinqi, calligraphy and painting, I wonder if Brother Bai may show his hand?" Chen Ming asked with a smile.

Martial artists of the sect are based on the way of heaven, and they will also dabble in scriptures when practicing martial arts. Although it is not as good as a real reader, it has nothing to do with illiteracy. At least their own knowledge and righteousness must be studied, otherwise the way of heaven is not clear, and the martial arts will not go far.

When Bai Ya was cultivating at Sword Finger Peak, he had to go to the Taoist temple every morning and evening to observe, and the Taoist master in the temple would teach them knowledge. Half of them spent their time learning the Tao scriptures, as well as arithmetic, astronomy, geography, and history.

Of course, this is not compulsive, it is mostly self-realization. However, the vast majority of martial arts disciples attach great importance to this kind of learning, after all, the teachers have long warned that practicing martial arts is cultivating the Tao, and martial arts without Tao are just a hollow cabbage.

As for qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, there is no teaching in the morning and evening classes of the Taoist temple, and it is easy for the martial artists to learn if they want to.

Just like the elder brother of Baiya, Xuanji, the calligraphy is very good, according to himself, this is copied from the Taoist scriptures. He has an average understanding, and copying the Tao Sutra is good for comprehending the way of heaven, so he has always persevered.

"It seems that Brother Chen is also an elegant person, so Ji Nan asked the palace people to take the chessboard. Brother Chen, let's play a few games of chess, but the rules have to be reset. ”

Bai Ya couldn't help but smile, he didn't have much research on qin, chess, calligraphy and painting in his two lives, but he still played backgammon, so before the recruiter took the initiative to come to the door, he could only use this to kill time.

......

"Hehe, Brother Bai, you lost!"

Chen Ming chuckled and swept away the silver ingots on the side of the chessboard, which was a bet for the two of them.

In addition to winning two games at the beginning while Chen Ming was not familiar with the rules of backgammon, Bai Ya was followed by a series of defeats, and he almost lost his underwear.

"Senior brother, you lost again, good food, you see me ......" Ji Nan, who was playing against Zeng Hui, was a little proud.

"Shut up!" Bai Ya and Zeng Hui glared at him at the same time.

There were two chessboards that Ji Nan fetched, and the four of them naturally fought in pairs.

The funny thing is that Bai Ya lost money to Chen Ming, and the money won by Chen Ming was lost to Ji Nan by Zeng Hui, which made the two people who lost the money annoyed.

"No, no more!" Bai Ya flicked the chessboard, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a group of outsiders, walking towards their bamboo clearing.

"Little Wang Mengmin, I've seen a few young heroes!" The young man in the python robe wearing a golden crown stopped a few meters away, smiling and smiling to a few people.

"Don't dare, Qingcheng Baiya (Panlong Chen Ming) to meet the prince!"

Several people hurriedly returned the salute, and Bai Ya also thanked King Rong's Mansion for his hospitality in the first two days.

Although the current world of Confucianism is not the only one, both the secular and the immortal martial arts world attach great importance to the humility and traditional etiquette. This is also part of the master-apprentice inheritance, it is hard to imagine that the master will pass on the martial arts to the apprentice who doesn't even know how to respect the master, which is different from the world where money is omnipotent in Bai Ya's previous life.

The familiar face made Bai Ya's memory clearer and clearer, and he finally remembered that the former sixth prince, the current King Rong of Shu Guo, had indeed met him twice. Once in the restaurant where Lu Yuan celebrated his promotion, and once in Emei Lingtian Pavilion.

There are several people around Rongwang Meng Min, and there are also two who are somewhat familiar, one is a middle-aged man in Tsing Yi with a dark vulture face, who should be Meng Min's most confidant head of the guard, and there is also a thin scholar with gray temples, who seems to be a little impressed.

Only the elegant old man with phoenix eyes and white eyebrows on the far left is a new face, and he must also be the strategist recruited by Meng Min.

"A few young heroes are so Yaxing, I don't know if you would like to play a game with Lone?"

"Brother Chen, come on!"

Bai Ya didn't know how to play Go, so he pushed Chen Ming as a representative. However, Chen Ming was very interesting, knowing that the other party valued Qingcheng more, and introduced the rules of backgammon to Meng Min with a smile, and still let Bai Ya play.

Meng Min didn't have much time, so he didn't want to play a full game of chess with them, but backgammon was easier than Go, and he played several games on a whim.

"This method is quite novel, next time if you have time, please ask Bai Shaoxia for more advice. ”

Meng Min was the superior after all, and after a little gesture, he got up and said goodbye.

"Brother Chen, what do you think?" Bai Ya watched Meng Min leave and raised his eyelids at Chen Ming.

"It's a bit like a master!" Chen Ming replied with a chuckle as he touched his chin covered with stubble.

The Panlong faction is Yuan Tiangang's Taoist system, and this lord is not only divinerable, but also very good at appearance. Although Chen Ming has not studied physiognomy, he has been exposed to it in the Panlong Sect for a long time, and he also knows a little about fur.

"Two senior brothers, why did this sixth prince only play a game of chess, didn't he say that he came to recruit us?" Zeng Hui asked puzzled.

"Hehe, they've already been recruited. Chen Ming couldn't help but smile and stretched out his finger to point to the chessboard.

"But he didn't even ask us what the two factions wanted?" asked Ji Nan curiously.

"He is a prince, and he may even be the future king of Shu, Yukou Jinyan, he will not personally negotiate the conditions with us, and there will naturally be others to help him complete these things. Bai Ya touched Ji Nan's head funny.

He used to do marketing work and participated in business negotiations, and he knew that the big bosses would never end up in person, they would only show their faces at the beginning and the end to be mascots.

"Oh!" Ji Nan nodded as if he didn't understand, Bai Ya would explain to him many times, this was also to fulfill Liu Yu's entrustment, so that he, the little junior brother, would mature faster in terms of dealing with people.

Ji Nan was quickly convinced, because only a short time after Meng Min left, a guard sent them two letters, saying that they were entrusted by King Rong.

"This prince is very generous...... Chen Ming raised his eyebrows after only looking at two lines, and said with a smile, "He actually gave our Panlong faction the mining rights of two Dan sand mines in Pasir County for ten years. ”

Dan sand ore has many uses for Taoism, such as the production of incense to use many associated ores of Dan sand mine, and also produces mercury and other materials.

"This person does have some courage, he didn't promise anything to Qingcheng, but he asked for a certain to pass on the degree to the prince ......of Rongwang" Bai Ya's face was strange, and he looked at Chen Ming incredulously.

The so-called transmission is the method of passing on to the world, and it is the ceremony for the Taoist to officially enter the Tao.

Of course, this does not mean that the prince of King Rong wants to become a monk. Secular people can also cultivate at home, called laymen, and homely Taoists. This is the same as Westerners being baptized and becoming Christians.

Moreover, once the prince of King Rong is passed on by Baiya, it is a master-apprentice relationship, and in the eyes of Westerners, he is a godson.

The implication of this is very intriguing, Meng Min himself advocates the concept of the Confucian Ram School, he knows that Qingcheng will not make great efforts to support him, just out of a helpless choice to fight with Emei.

However, when he introduced the prince into the Daomen, the situation was different.

Meng Min is not very old, and his son is a young ~ child, which is not only a support for orphans after the failure of the competition for succession, but also a disguised hope for Qingcheng for the future. Because if he succeeds in the struggle for succession, under the Taoist education of the crown prince of Shu, the future ruling concept will definitely be biased towards Huang Lao's doctrine.

"Hehe, Brother Bai, you and I have underestimated these court nobles, if so, presumably your faction can't refuse anymore, right?" Chen Ming shook his head and smiled.

"Let's see, I'm a little curious now, what conditions will the others give?" Bai Ya put the letter into his sleeve, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.

Although he said so, he knew in his heart that as long as this letter was sent back to Qingcheng, the sect would really attach importance to this battle.

"Well, there's someone again!"

A few people looked up and saw a group of people walking slowly at the end of the bamboo forest path. At the front of the team are several palace people holding palm fans, with guards with knives in front and back, hugging two nobles in the center, a man and a woman.

The male of the two nobles was about forty or fifty years old, with a Chinese face, a lion nose and a wide mouth, knife eyebrows and sideburns, and a majestic bearing between the opening and closing of his eyes.

However, it is strange that this person is still a little behind the women among the nobles, as if she is the main one.

The noble lady was quite tall, plump, and wore a high phoenix crown, which was even half a head taller than the few guards beside her. Wearing a wide deep coat phoenix robe, lined with a high-waisted skirt, the chest exudes a large area of white and smooth skin.

But everyone who sees her will always forget her bright face inexplicably, but feel that her gestures are heroic, which makes people unable to face it.

When she walked out of the bamboo forest, she seemed to be talking and laughing with the nobles beside her, and when she turned her head to look at the people in Baiya, her eyes were bright, and the brilliance in her eyes made several people have the illusion of a dazzling sun.

"These two people have really joined forces, and it seems that they are actually using females to suppress males, and let this woman be the principal, this competition is really interesting!" Bai Ya's mind turned darkly, and at the same time he was surprised.
