Chapter 120: Like a sword, like a spear, the confrontation is in the name!
The woman who came forward to reprimand was naturally Chen Jiao.
How could she bear it when she heard someone slandering her brother? But after all, she grew up in a boudoir, so when had she ever seen such a scene? After being ridiculed by Lu Le, everyone was a little panicked.
Lu Le did not give up, and said coldly: "What kind of reputation does Chen Fangqing have? Is it because of his good poetry or the wonderfulness of his poems? Just by relying on a strange and mysterious article and getting a name, do you think you can get into the palace? What a joke!"
When everyone around them heard this, they couldn't help but nod.
After everyone agreed, Lu Le smiled faintly and said: "Discussing the Tao and understanding the mysteries, you can understand heaven and man! Discuss policies and essays, and speak small words of great righteousness! If these two can reach the ears of heaven and assist in the government, then it will be brilliant.
Avenue!”
"Is this the reason why the Qingliu Society can attract so many people, or is it because Yu Daxiu and others are officials in the court, and if they appreciate articles and show their literary talents, they may be mentioned in the court. This is the right way!
"So that the little lady knows, I will discuss the matter. After all, who knew the name of your brother a few days ago?"
"Don't talk about the distance, let's just say that Mr. Jiang Yijiang, who just passed by, was able to travel with Mr. Yu not because of his family background, but because of his literary reputation! As soon as several of his Buddhist treatises were published, even the eminent monks who met him asked for them.
Talk to him..."
Chen Jiao didn't know how to refute what everyone said. She was so anxious that she almost cried. She felt a little helpless and could not help but think of what the two Taoists said that day.
"If I had the skills of my brother..."
Seeing her appearance, the Shen family's female envoy couldn't help but wonder, thinking, could it really be what these people said?
At this time.
There was a sudden commotion at the door, and many monks came!
Everyone present looked intently, and many people recognized the monks coming over and were surprised.
"I know the first one, he is the temple master of Guishan Temple, called Master Yuanhui!"
"Not only that, the ones in the second row are the Dharma Masters from Chongsheng Temple, and the ones from Qixia Temple..."
"He is an eminent monk from Longhua Temple. When I went to visit with my brother, I was lucky enough to meet him once. He became an eminent monk and often went to the palace to give lectures on Buddhism!"
"That's Master Fanan from Jianyuan Temple. It's hard to show his face easily!"
"Good fellow! This Qingliu Meeting is really amazing. It's hard to see any of these eminent monks and virtuous men on weekdays, but today we come together, it's really a grand gathering of Jiankang!"
The monks walked forward slowly, all of them calmly and walked through the crowd at an unhurried pace. Naturally, the guards from Qingliu Garden came to clear the way.
The layout of this garden is exquisite, with the pavilion by the pool as the center. You can see something from everywhere, and the field of vision is wide. As long as you are not too far away, you can hear a few words. If you really can't hear clearly, you can hear a few words.
You can find out if you ask around.
So when the monks walked over, the crowd became more and more excited, but there was less chatter. They all stared at the monks, watching them off and following them.
Even the people who were arguing with Chen Jiao didn't care to talk about her and took a few steps closer to join in the fun.
"We are really flattered that all the masters can come with us!"
Yu Ji led Jiang Yi and others to meet the monks, with surprise on his face and what he said was true to his heart.
He and Monk Fanan made a plan at Jianyuan Temple, but thinking that the eminent monk was extraordinary and otherworldly, it would be difficult to gather at other times except for the big days when he was invited by the palace to lecture on scriptures. A literary gathering convened by his family, even if there were evil spirits
That said, but things happened unexpectedly and time was still tight, so it would be great if three or four people could come.
As a result, if we look around now, there are at least eight or nine companies!
Among them are some of the most famous mage from the south. How can one still calm down?
After some pleasantries, Yu Ji whispered in Monk Fa Nan's ear: "With the help of all the masters, today's matter can be said to be foolproof!"
The face of the Buddhist monk remained unchanged, and he whispered: "Brother Yu, this matter is complicated. I will find an opportunity to explain it to you in detail later..."
When Yu Ji heard this, he felt that he understood it. He thought that the ghost might have some secrets, so he attracted all the monks to come with him. So he changed the topic and said loudly: "Anyway, if you can come, it will be a grand event, so you can wait..."
Before he finished speaking, the crowd outside was in chaos again, and many exclamations were heard, which attracted the attention of Yu Ji and others. They followed the sound and looked over, and were immediately stunned.
At the entrance, I saw a group of Taoist priests with extraordinary bearings walking in one by one. At a quick glance, I saw that there were not fifteen, but eleven or twelve people, all of whom were dressed in extraordinary ways.
"I just came to the Buddhist sect. Why did I turn around and find people from the Taoist sect here too?"
"These guys look familiar, oh, I remembered, they seem to be the Taoist temple masters around Jiankang."
"That must be an amazing person, right? They're all here too!"
"I know, you have seen the three leaders. The one walking in the middle is named Qi Baijin. He is the master of the northern landscape. He is an expert and a frequent visitor to the palace."
Everyone's discussion gradually became more and more enthusiastic, and they felt that today's Qingliu Hui was really getting more and more exciting.
As everyone knows, Yu Ji and others are full of doubts.
Before the cultural gathering, he also arranged for people to send invitations to several larger Taoist temples.
But this was just a routine matter, and because Yu Ji was in the Taoist sect and had no close friends, he was worried that the news would leak out, so he did not reveal the fact that the Marquis of Linru County might be possessed by a ghost.
To put it bluntly, I didn’t expect to see a few people come, but now so many people have come all at once, and they are still following the Buddhist temple, it will inevitably arouse people’s imagination.
However, since everyone was here, how could Yu Ji and others ignore them, apologize to the monks, and then go up to welcome them.
"It's a neglect, it's a neglect..."
Although Yu Ji was a little in a hurry, he thought that there were experts in the Taoist sect, so he would be more confident if he didn't say anything sneaky. It also showed that the Qingliu Society today was grand, and it would be a good story if word spread.
It really kills two birds with one stone.
On the other hand, Monk Yuanhui and other Buddhist disciples exchanged vague glances.
The old monk from Longhua Temple whispered: "The Taoist sect also came to take the opportunity to show its goodwill, so he must have gotten the news."
Yuan Hui smiled and said: "They are well-informed. Let's just wait and see. Sit still and you will naturally be safe."
In the pavilion, Ding Long looked at this scene with a smile on his face.
His junior brother was even more amazed when he saw it: "Good guy, so many Buddhists have come, and many Taoists have also come, are they all here to suppress evil?"
Ding Long waved his hand and said calmly: "I can only say that these people are all chess pieces, witnessing the general's power!"
While they were talking, a group of Taoists had already arrived, but their momentum was much weaker than that of the monks.
After the leader, Lao Tao, met Yu Ji and others, he went straight to the monks to salute without caring about anything else.
"I didn't expect to see so many fellow Taoists here..." The old Taoist priest bowed his hands in salute, squinting his eyes and smiling.
Monk Yuan Hui and others smiled and handed over their hands: "The poor monk and others are also surprised."
This scene looked pleasant, but Yu Ji did not dare to take it lightly. He had seen a lot and knew that conflicts between Buddhism and Taoism had emerged in recent years, so he asked Jiang Yi and others to come up and invite both parties to sit downstairs.
"There is no need for this. Pindao and the others still have to wait outside." Qi Baijin smiled slightly and declined the invitation.
Yu Ji was confused and was about to ask.
Monk Yuanhui also said: "That's fine, the poor monks and others can wait here for the rightful master, so as to avoid the hassle of entering and exiting."
When Yu Ji saw it, he was quite helpless.
When Qi Baijin heard this, he smiled and said: "The real master you are waiting for is the Marquis of Linru County, right?"
Yu Ji's expression changed, thinking that the news had been leaked.
"Oh?" Monk Yuan Hui's expression did not change, and he did not deny it and said, "That's right."
"What a coincidence, the same thing happened when Pindao came over, but..." Qi Baijin smiled slightly, "You are attacking the Marquis of Linru County, but we are just the opposite."
Yu Ji immediately looked sad, thinking that the Taoist people were bewitched by someone but were actually looking for trouble, which would mess up the situation.
"When will the poor monk embarrass the king?" Monk Yuan Hui put away his smile. He couldn't accept these words, otherwise not only would it be in vain, but he might also be self-defeating. "Fellow Taoist, why do you need to confuse right and wrong like this? Do you think so?
Do you want to pour dirty water on us through the mouths of the world?"
"Whether what Pindao said is true, layman Yu knows best. Look at his face..." Qi Baijin said, pointing at Yu Ji.
Yu Ji's face turned pale as expected.
Yuan Hui took a deep breath, knowing that she couldn't just ignore it. Before he could speak, Yan Shoujing had already jumped out and said: "Fellow Taoists, you are here to slander us!"
His words contained the sound of Buddha and the roar of a lion, which was intended to drown out the other person's voice and prevent rumors from spreading.
"How dare, how dare..."
On the other side, they were talking like this. Due to the distance, the people around them couldn't hear clearly, but they could feel the invisible sparks between the two sides, and they couldn't help but enjoy the secret exchange.
The people beside Chen Jiao became more energetic and said with a smile: "Only those who chat and laugh with eminent monks and masters like this can reveal the demeanor of a famous person, which cannot be compared with a temporary article."
Lu Le sneered and said: "This is the truth, it is much better than boasting!"
Chen Jiao was unconvinced and said: "My second brother talks and laughs with the eminent monk as usual, and they appreciate it very much! The Taoist from the Immortal Sect is as close to my brother as a family. It is impossible to say that these monks and Taoists came here just for my second brother.
!”
Halfway through her words, a few of her close friends gently tugged on her corner.
Please say less!
The Shen family's female envoy felt that what she said was too exaggerated.
After several scholars were stunned for a moment, they all laughed.
The atmosphere became cheerful for a moment.
Lu Le smiled and said, "I'm kind of looking forward to that monarch coming over."
As he was talking here, he saw that the two monks and Taoists over there seemed to really say that the real fire was coming. Each and every master's posture was gone, and the roar of lions and warning sounds circulated, and the words and quarrels resounded on the spot.
Afraid of being covered by the opponent——
"We have always respected the Marquis of Linru County. Not long ago, we had a very happy chat with him in Guishan Temple. We both benefited from each other. How can we embarrass him?" These were clearly the words of Yan Shoujing, whose voice was as loud as a bell.
, as fierce as a lion's roar, it spread throughout the garden and could be heard outside, "On the contrary, it's you who came here for no reason, and you said you were sharing the worries of that monarch. It's too obvious!"
For a while, the garden became a little quiet.
The expressions of the people around Chen Jiao suddenly froze.
The Taoist was not to be outdone, Zhou Youzi also raised his voice and laughed, his voice was like a thunderbolt, and said: "Brother Taoist, are you saying this just to alienate me? My poor Taoist brother is from an immortal sect, and now I am borrowing the help of you."
In the Hou family, I have received his help several times because I am grateful in my heart! I will certainly give something in return!"
These words spread throughout the entire audience instantly!
Chen Jiao immediately raised her chest and raised her head, and everyone around her looked at her!
