Chapter 18 Entering the list to fight for the rich and powerful
"Why is Pan Sun'er laughing?" Zhiqiu Zhenxin picked up an exotic fruit in his hand and peeled off the outer skin of a golden orange to reveal the bright red and juicy flesh. He dipped it in the snow salt on the sapphire plate and carefully
Chew.
"Yuan An, do you still have the heart to show off?" Pan Anren approached Zhi Huizhen with a ferocious expression and lowered his voice, "I'm laughing at you, you will soon be embarrassed and in trouble! Are you crazy about entering the Taoist sect? You have me Lan.
With the Lingpan family here, you will never even think of stepping onto the Qingyun Ladder!"
"Wang Ning, the Wang clan of Langya, pre-recorded the Gu Shen Sect's Hui Chun Tang, and bestowed upon him a volume of the foundational spiritual method "Xuanfeigen". I hope that by diligently practicing learning, cultivating one's nature, and attaining the level of Miaoji early." Chong Xuzi calmed down and read out loudly.
The first name on the Jade Scroll.
Amidst the cheers of the crowd, a fair and fat young man walked out with his head held high, bowed in Taoist salutes, took the jade tablet, purple talisman, and golden scripture from the Taoist official of Chongxuan Department, and climbed up the Qingyun Staircase with high spirits.
The Wang family's children beat drums and danced wildly, bursting into endless celebrations like a tide. Wang Lan stretched out his sleeves, and a golden sapling about a foot long jumped into the air. It kept shaking and quickly turned into a tree.
The towering giant tree has magnificent branches, covered with strings of heavy gold ingots, which make a "ding-ding-dong-dong" collision sound as it shakes.
"This must be one of the Langya Wang family's three treasures - the money tree." Prince Qiao gently stroked his long beard and raised the wine cup in a leisurely manner.
"Sir, that's what you said." Wang Yifu, who was sitting next to him, forced a smile and toasted to each other. The Chongxuan Office has not responded to the message so far, and something serious has happened to the young Marquis.
"The Mengyin Festival is indeed a grand feast for the wealthy families of the Jin Dynasty." Wang Ziqiao smiled slightly and glanced at Zhikarizhen in the distance. With a chess piece in his hand, how could he allow him to cling to the Taoist gate and make trouble?
Crazy screams suddenly sounded on both sides of the Qinhuai River. Thousands of golden lights streaked across the shining arc, passing through the air and spilling towards the Qinhuai River. The Wang family's children jumped onto the money tree and grabbed strings of shiny gold ingots.
, crushed it with all his strength, and threw it outwards with a big smile.
The sky suddenly turned golden, as if a dazzling golden rain was rising. With the gentle and drunken wind, pieces of golden sand were filled with golden powder, stretching into a slowly swaying golden curtain, shining in the sunset water.
.
The surface of the river is floating, entangled, and overlapping with golden powder. The water waves reflect wisps of golden light, and the refraction changes. The Qinhuai River seems like an undulating strip of light.
Zhikari really picked up a handful of water, and his fingers were immediately covered with a layer of shining gold powder, which turned out to be pure red gold. He couldn't help but be stunned, throwing the best gold into the river in vain?
"This is the custom of Mengyin Festival." Xie Yongxu explained to him, "Firstly, it is a celebration, secondly, it shows the heritage of my family, and thirdly, it also means the nobles compete to win."
After a whole stick of incense, the golden light rain gradually drifted away in the wind. The bare money tree became withered branches and gray color, as if its vitality was severely damaged. Wang Lan stretched out his hand and the money tree shrank into a sapling again and flew into his sleeve.
.
"Pan Yizhi of the Pan clan of Lanling pre-recorded the real Five Finger Heaven Golden Light Cave, and gave a volume of the foundational method "Five Elements Wheel"..."
Pan's people cheered thunderously. Pan Bi opened his lips slightly and spit out a white jade platform the size of a fingernail. It was as long as a field in the wind. Countless fiery red coral trees stood on it. A blazing flame rises.
A group of Pan's noble ladies, dressed in colorful clothes and holding gold hammers, jumped up onto the white jade platform. "When..." A coral tree was smashed to pieces, and a heavenly note sounded, curling around, making people ecstatic. The noble ladies waved their golden hammers, whirling and dancing, knocking left and right. The precious coral trees shattered in response, emitting the beautiful melody of Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng and Yu, which merged into the song "Yao" "Moonlight Night with Palace Flowers" lingers on both sides of the Qinhuai River, and the melodious sound is endless.
Pan Anren glanced at Karishin with an arrogant expression: "These fire corals are taken from the Endless Sea. They all have thousands of years of fire. They assist in practice and are priceless. But for me, Pan, I just smash them and listen to the sound. ."
Pan Shilang laughed, and an apricot-yellow gourd jumped out of his palm, spraying out a large stream of snow-white powder, which condensed into countless clouds in mid-air, like a majestic and spectacular sea of clouds, dyed purple and red by the sunset.
"This is jade powder ground from honey jade!" Among the poor people, a knowledgeable casual cultivator screamed in alarm, wishing he could rush up to the sky and swallow the clouds.
Pan's congratulatory ceremony was not over yet. The maid held out a bunch of colorful pearls, silvery white, purple, jet black, emerald green... each one was round and smooth without any spots. They ground the pearls into powder on the spot and poured them into it one by one. Shake the wine well, and then pour the jars of wine into the river...
"Today we can drink the water of the Qinhuai River!" Pan Anren hit the river water ostentatiously, setting off waves glowing with light.
Chong Xuzi read out a dozen more names one after another, and all the major aristocratic families celebrated with great splendor and extravagance. For a time, the heaven and earth were fragrant with elixirs, immortal millet was dripping with fat, splendid arched rainbows, precious lights shot into the clouds, and all kinds of light The carcasses of strange birds and animals that were slaughtered piled up like mountains.
"Bo Lingyuan's original gift from heaven, pre-recorded by Taishang Shenxiao Sect Qingweiya..." Chong Xuzi read out the last name and closed the jade scroll and golden scroll.
There was a sudden silence all around, countless pairs of eyes turned to Shikari Zhen, and then the place burst into excitement.
"The winner of the battle was not chosen?" "His mother comes from a poor family, and she is a bastard after all."
"A migrant from a poor ravine has an unclear identity, not to mention offending Master Pan and Master Xie!" "What a pity, I do admire him..."
"Hahahaha!" Pan Anren laughed arrogantly, and his finger almost poked Zhikarizhen's nose, "Yuan An, there is a local saying that 'the toad wants to eat swan meat.' You know, right? Take a photo of the river, and You will understand! Hahaha..."
"Qiang——" The two swords behind Xie Yongxu's back suddenly rang out, half an inch out of their sheaths, the cold light pierced Pan Anren's skin and flesh, and his laughter stopped.
Xie Yongxu didn't even look at him, and said to Zhi Shouzhen: "Brother Yuan, the selection of people in the Chongxuan Department is unfair. I will ask the Taoist Yuzhen Association to review the pre-registration quota!"
The Yuzhenhui is a law enforcement association jointly established by all Daomen in the Jin Dynasty. It specializes in cleaning up civil strife and killing dissidents. It can be called the highest power core of Daoism. Zhi Shouzhen thanked him, but his heart was as bright as a mirror. Xie Yongxu
He's just doing his best, how could Yu Zhen, who is so aloof, go to war for himself?
"May I ask the Taoist officials of the Chongxuan Department, why is the Bolingyuan clan Yuan'an not on the list?" Rounuo's voice sounded softly, and Tao Yujin stood out from the crowd and asked the question openly.
"That's right, why didn't Mr. Yuan get pre-recorded?" Wang Liangmi and many noble ladies were indignant and noisy. Some of them were arrogant and even threw melon rinds and fruit shells at Chong Xuzi, and yelled out market slang.<
/p>
"This is a mutual agreement among all the Chongxuan bureaus and cannot be questioned." Chong Xuzi hurriedly defended, deliberately pronouncing the four words "all views agree" loudly.
Wang Yifu sat down slumped, and ridicules, discussions, and questions came from all directions, like thousands of ants eating his heart. The prince defeated all the heroes with a sword, and he had tried his best, but it was Wang Yifu who was incompetent!
Master Pei on the left was thoughtful, while Prince Qiao on the bottom sighed softly: "The edge of a sword is sharpened. It is not a bad thing that the prince has experienced this setback."
Yi Mo looked around, with a hidden smile oozing from the corner of his mouth. The Taoist sect acted unfairly, and countless people spoke out on its behalf.
"Ah, Yuan An, I haven't congratulated you for winning the competition and becoming famous in Kyoto again!" Pan Anren couldn't help but started to laugh again.
Xie Xuan felt upset after hearing this. Yuan An had made a big mistake, but he couldn't be happy.
"Bo Lingyuan's Yuan'an prerecorded the Thunder Cliff of Taishang Shenxiao Sect, and gave him a volume of "Taishang Heart Mirror Commentary" to lay the foundation for the spiritual method. I hope that by practicing Xinxue diligently, cultivating the truth and cultivating one's nature, he can reach the level of Miaoji as soon as possible."
Chong Xuzi was about to walk down the Qingyun Staircase when he suddenly heard a distant voice, which was as loud as the roar of thunder and shook the sky.
