As one of the seven heads of Xiaoyuan Academy, Liang Xinhuai is a well-known figure both in the world and in the court. And Chen Chuantuo, the dean of Xiaoyuan Academy, has such a temperament, so the academy has various
The matter naturally fell on the shoulders of Mr. Liang.
Insert an app: A perfect replica of the old version of the book-chasing artifact and a replaceable source app——.
Coupled with his meticulous character, he has maintained Xiaoyuan Academy in an orderly manner, making him the most powerful person in the academy.
"Loulan City State in the Western Region, Xiao Family! I have met Mr. Liang!" The middle-aged man who led the team bowed and saluted Liang Xinhuai. Although he was a guest from afar, it was not surprising that the other party made a special trip to receive him.
It is enough to show sincerity.
“I have heard about the deeds of Lord Xiao for a long time. Today Liang is lucky enough to meet the real person. I am so happy to meet you!” said the leader Liang with a smile and cupped his hands.
The two hosts and guests were very friendly, so they naturally had a great conversation, and walked to the main hall of the academy together.
Walking into the main hall and seeing the seventy-two bronze statues in the courtyard, City Lord Xiao's eyes sparkled. As the leader of a force, he had been among the countries in the Western Regions for so many years. He would still have such a vision, so he naturally discovered this bronze statue.
The image was extraordinary. Next came the stone tablet in the main hall and the inscription "Teacher to the Eternity" written on it. He couldn't help but sigh:
“It is said that the Central Plains countries have outstanding people and are rich not only in products, but also in inheritance!”
Liang Xinhuai followed the other party. When he heard what he said, he also smiled and agreed: "There is inheritance, but whether we, the younger generations, can pass on its essence depends on our own abilities."
Hearing this, City Lord Xiao gave a bitter smile and sighed: "The things that your court is worried about are things that we, a small city-state, do not dare to dream about!"
Chief Liang still had a warm smile and said: "What? City Lord Xiao has taken a liking to this bronze statue?"
“Um…” A word immediately stopped this guest from afar. These seventy-two bronze statues are relics of the Yunxiao Sect, and they are an important symbol of Luo Yun Kingdom as a Confucian holy land.
It not only represents the heyday of Confucianism when the Confucian sage was alive, but the bronze statues of the seventy-two disciples are already impressive enough! Of course, the golden body of the Confucian sage is still under the control of the Luo Yun Sect.
among.
Facing this kind of problem, it would be too false to say that you don't want it, and it would be a bit abrupt to say that you want it. City Lord Xiao, who is used to seeing big scenes, doesn't know how to smooth things over.
“This bronze statue is actually a symbol. Can we really improve martial arts through these bronze statues?” At this time, the young man named Wu Li suddenly asked.
The middle-aged man turned around and scolded Liang Xinhuai, saying apologetically: "This girl is the daughter of Xiao's close friend, her name is Wu Li. This time she came out with me to see the world. She never speaks through her head. If anything,
Please forgive me for offending."
Leader Liang raised his hand and waved, and then said: "What Miss Wu said is very reasonable. The symbolic meaning of these seventy-two saints' bronze statues is far greater than its actual use. Liang's question just now was presumptuous, but in fact it is
There is no other meaning. If City Master Xiao really likes this bronze statue, he will give it to City Master Xiao before he leaves!"
As soon as these words came out, not only City Lord Xiao was startled, but even the disciples behind Liang Xinhuai were also taken aback.
"No! No!" The middle-aged man from Loulan waved his hands quickly.
"These seventy-two bronze statues are the treasure of the Yunxiao Sect. How can I win over others just because I like them?" As the contemporary patriarch of the Xiao family, the lord of Loulan City, he would naturally not be so stupid as to just arrive at someone else's house.
Territory means occupying someone else's treasure. If this is really the case, then why talk about cooperation? Let's call it a declaration of war instead!
Liang Xinhuai burst out laughing when he saw the other party's awkward appearance. When everyone was confused, he led them into the inner hall of the main hall.
City Lord Xiao glared at the girl named Wu Li, and then frowned slightly. He really didn't understand what Xiaoyuan Academy meant. Seeing that the disciples from the academy who were following him around also looked shocked, he gritted his teeth.
Followed in.
This hall is located behind the monument of "Eternal Teacher". Although it is not as grand as the Qingyun Hall of the Qingyun Sect, the whole hall still has a solemn atmosphere, whether it is the seventy-two disciples of the Confucian saint in the courtyard, or the
The huge copper monument everywhere fills the hall with an awe-inspiring atmosphere.
As a master of the Dacheng Realm of the Chivalrous Realm, City Lord Xiao naturally noticed that the true essence of heaven and earth in this hall was different from the outside, and its purity was comparable to that of spiritual essence!
Is this the awe-inspiring spirit of Confucianism? It is so powerful. It is indeed one of the three religions. Its strength and foundation are not comparable to that of a small city-state. I am afraid that only the Holy War Hall can rival it!
These thoughts kept swirling in the head of the Xiao family head.
Leader Liang walked in with a smile and led everyone into the main hall first. After everyone sat down according to the guest of honour's position, he spoke to City Master Xiao who was the first on the left and said: "Don't blame City Master Xiao. In fact, matters are not discussed in the courtyard outside.
What Liang said just now is not a joke."
After hearing this, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up slightly, and he cupped his hands and said, "Xiao really doesn't know what he can do for the academy. To be fair, this visit to Xiaoyuan Academy was due to an introduction from someone who also met me in Loulan City.
Difficulty, I have something important to ask of you! If you accept this Bronze Zun, Xiao is really... really..."
He didn't finish the rest of the words, but his meaning was very clear. He came here because of his reputation, and the main reason was to talk about cooperation and see if he could help his brothers. The cooperation hadn't even started yet, but the other party gave it to him first.
His gift made City Master Xiao feel a little uneasy.
Liang Xinhuai smiled warmly and said slowly: "Chengcheng has already written to me. There is nothing wrong with what he said. We, Xiaoyuan Academy, are willing to send our elite disciples to the countries in the Western Regions!"
Hearing the approval from the head of the academy, whether it was City Lord Xiao, Wu Li, or other visitors, their faces showed joy. At the same time, their evaluation of Qi Chengcheng in their hearts was once again raised to a higher level.
"Thank you, Mr. Liang... uh, Mr. Liang!" City Lord Xiao immediately stood up from his seat, bowed his hands in a salute, and then looked at the other party longingly.
The meaning is obvious. Since we have agreed to our request and will give us a bronze statue of the disciples, let's talk about your request.
Liang Xinhuai looked at the tall and sturdy Lord Xiao in front of him and said calmly: "As far as I know, although the countries in the Western Regions have formed an alliance, they all operate independently and have different beliefs."
“In addition to forming a unified military alliance to cope with strong external pressure, in fact, the various countries do not interfere with each other. Although the Holy War Church is a mainstream belief in the Western Region, there are many countries that do not believe in them!”
Sitting at the head of the academy, Chief Liang nodded indifferently, and said calmly: "Xiaoyuan Academy was originally the Qi Sect branch of Yunxiao Sect. Later, it rose up with the awe-inspiring spirit of practicing Confucianism and established Xiaoyuan Academy. What we pursue is, for all generations.
Teachers are like teachers, there is no distinction between teaching and learning!”
"What do you mean?..." After all, this middle-aged man was the leader of the party. After hearing this, he naturally understood the other party's intention and asked tentatively.
Liang Xinhuai smiled and shook his head and said: "This is not what I meant, but what our dean meant!" Before the other party could recover from the shock, he continued:
"Confucianism is one of the three major religions in the world. Naturally, it cannot be limited to the small Xiaoyuan Academy, nor can it be limited to the small Luoyun Kingdom! If City Master Xiao is willing, from now on, Loulan can have Confucianism as their faith, and I will replace Chen Yuan
I have made this decision and will give you a bronze statue of the seventy-two disciples!"
I see! Lin Lei, who was sitting at the bottom on the right, had been listening to the conversation of everyone present. I have to say that although Mr. Liang is usually a little bit mother-in-law, when it comes to big things, he is not vague at all.
…………Dividing line…………
Zhong Lingxi looked menacingly at the young man standing in the main hall. The girl's eyes were full of anger and happiness, and her beauty was like a scimitar with willow leaves, going straight to her temples. She was already a twenty-year-old girl, and she was taller and taller than five years ago.
He is also a bit taller, standing at 1.72 meters, and his figure is more slender and slender than before due to his practice of swordsmanship.
However, most people who practice martial arts are agile in stature. Compared with those young ladies waiting for marriage, Zhong Lingxi does not have any fat on her body, is not plump, and is not the kind of woman who is easy to give birth to. However, this cannot conceal her outstanding performance.
With her beautiful appearance, no wonder so many talented people fall in love with her.
“I’ve met Sister Lingxi!” Zhong Rui held a folding fan in his hand and bowed his hands to the girl. He looked quite scholarly.
"Why did you come to Qingling Peak? Who asked you to come to me? Did you forget to beat you last time?" In response to Zhong Rui's attentiveness, Zhong Lingxi asked "Three Soul Questions" as soon as he came up.
The hand that the young man was originally offering suddenly froze in mid-air. Maybe as the current head of the Zhong family, although he is not the head of the clan, his actual status is still very high, so he has not heard such words of merciless rejection for a long time.
For a moment, he was so sharp-tongued that he didn't know how to answer the question.
“Well, ahem, naturally I came to Qingyun Peak to see you, sister Lingxi. As for who asked me to come to you? Of course I came here myself…”
“Stop! Who told you to call me Sister Lingxi?” The beautiful girl interrupted the other party impatiently.
Seeing this, Zhong Rui could only sigh. It seemed that Zhong Lingxi had left an indelible impression on him, so naturally he would not accept him easily. But marrying the other party not only involves the two of them, but is also a major event for the entire family!
The young man narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at the other person's pretty face and said calmly: "Miss Zhong, it's been five years, and you still treat me as you always have, and you haven't changed at all!"
“Hmph! Since you know this, why are you still humiliating yourself?” Zhong Lingxi said coldly.
Zhong Rui ignored the other party and walked around the Qingling Hall like a revolving door.
"If you came here just for shopping, then I won't bother you. I'll first..." Seeing that the other party didn't respond to her, the girl didn't want to waste time here. She was about to leave, but was interrupted by the other party.
“The Qingyun Sect, as the sword sect branch of the Yunxiao Sect, is naturally considered a famous and upright sect.”
Hearing such a meaningless statement from the other party, the girl was very confused. However, Zhong Rui obviously didn't care whether the girl listened or not, but continued to talk to himself:
"The marriage between you and me is decided by the head of the Zhong family. It is not up to you or me!" Zhong Rui said in a cold voice, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
"I won't marry!" How could Zhong Lingxi be subjected to such oppression? She immediately shouted loudly.
Zhong Rui smiled calmly and turned to look at the angry-faced girl, "The date is almost set! On a good and auspicious day, I will ask the elders of the clan for your birth date! Whether you come or not, whether you marry or not, it doesn't matter.
It’s important! From then on, you are my wife, Zhong Rui!"
He said indifferently: "Think carefully! If I go up the mountain to find you again, I won't be so polite to you!"
Having said that, he reincarnated and walked out of the palace. The enraged Zhong Lingxi immediately chased after him from behind. He gathered the energy in his hands and slapped his opponent on the back of the head.
Snapped!
Zhong Lingxi’s hand was grabbed by the wrist less than two inches from the back of Zhong Rui’s head. The person who came was none other than his master, Ou Yezi.
“Master!” she shouted in a low voice, obviously feeling incredible that her master stopped her from taking action.
Didn't you say that the master is not coming? Why did he suddenly appear again? For a moment, many thoughts flashed through her mind, but in that moment he understood the reason why his master stopped her.
Because the marriage between the two was indeed decided by Zhong Qianhe, then Zhong Rui’s identity is Zhong Lingxi’s fiancé.
Although the girl never believed that the note was written by her grandfather, both the elders of the Zhong family and the remaining Zhong family forces in Luo Yun Kingdom supported the marriage between the two. Because of the marriage between them
, is not only a matter between the two of them, but also an important link in the alternation between the old and new forces of the Zhong family.
Zhong Rui could naturally feel the strong wind coming from behind him, but he suppressed his fear of life and death and used his willpower to control himself not to dodge. At the same time, he did not look back to see Ou Yezi who had rescued him.
Ou Yezi, who had a mustache, narrowed his eyes and glared at the young man who was gradually leaving the hall, thinking to himself: This boy is either a ruthless person who is not afraid of life and death, or he is an expert at manipulating people's hearts.
“You really don’t want to marry him?” Ou Yezi asked in a deep voice.
Zhong Lingxi looked at her master who always liked to laugh and joke. It was rare for her to ask herself such a serious question. She said without any hesitation when she had the chance: "Of course! I won't marry him until I die!"
“Okay! It’s better not to marry even if you die! However, I generally understand this sentence to mean that if you marry a pig, dog, cow, or sheep, you won’t marry him either! Right?”
The girl was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Seeing his beloved disciple's attitude, Ou Yezi slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he regained his composure.
"Today, there is only one way to prevent your marriage!"
Hearing that there was still room for change, Zhong Lingxi was naturally very happy and quickly asked:
“Lao Yezi, tell me quickly! What can I do?”
Ou Yezi snorted coldly and said softly: "We must compete in martial arts to find a bride!"
