Chapter 129: On the Dao (Part 1)

In front of Yuxu Palace is a large white jade square. Four Canzhi Zhenren stood together, followed by the Zhenren and the third-rank Youyi Taoist priest, and then the fourth-rank Jijiu Taoist priest and a group of young fifth-rank Taoist priests. Because the "Young Talent Program" of Shanggong is still on trial, not all the candidates for Jijiu will participate in the training.

Soon, the people of Confucianism and Buddhism also came to Yuxu Palace under the guidance of Zhike Taoist priest.

The standards of Confucianism and Taoism are not low. The leader of Confucianism is a great master, and the leader of Buddhism is a venerable. In terms of rank, they correspond to the great Zhenren of Taoism.

It's just that Taoism has the highest status. The chief of Taoism is obviously higher than the leaders of Confucianism and Buddhism. By analogy, the actual status of people in Taoism is one level higher than that of the other two families. Canzhi Zhenren can completely be equal to the great master of Confucianism and the venerable of Buddhism. What's more, most of the seven generations of chiefs will come from these three Canzhi Zhenren, so it can't be regarded as disrespectful.

After the six people exchanged a few pleasantries, Ning Lingge waved his hand, and the Taoist disciples behind him immediately dispersed to both sides, leaving a road leading directly to the gate of Yuxu Palace, with uniform movements.

Donghua Zhenren stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture, and the six people walked side by side towards Yuxu Palace, followed by the people from each family who were qualified to participate in this three religions conference.

Yuxu Palace had already been properly decorated. Because the Supreme Taoist Ancestor advocated kindness and frugality, it was not luxurious, but it was spacious and open. If a banquet was held, it could accommodate hundreds of people at the same time. If the tables were removed, even if they were to compete directly, it would not be cramped at all.

It was in this hall that Donghuang defeated 13 masters from the Confucian and Taoist families and won the martial arts performance for the Taoist sect.

Four assistants and two distinguished guests sat on the main seat above, one for each, and the rest sat on the left and right sides below the steps. In the past, the right was respected, but now the left is respected, so the Taoist disciples who were the hosts sat on the left, and the Confucian and Buddhist disciples who were the guests sat on the right.

The first person on the left was a second-rank Taiyi Taoist priest, now the chief deputy hall master of the ancestral hall, and the second person was Zhang Yuelu, which should have belonged to Yao Pei.

The first person on the right was a monk with golden skin and a blank expression, like a Buddha statue. It can be seen that this person is probably not here to discuss Taoism, but to perform martial arts. Over the years, Confucianism and Buddhism have reached some tacit understanding at the Three Religions Conference. Buddhism is mainly responsible for action, and Confucianism is mainly responsible for talking. After all, gentlemen talk but not act.

The second person was an extremely handsome man, with a face like a beautiful jade and eyes like stars, but without the slightest trace of makeup, and there was a compelling heroic spirit between his eyebrows. He is really extraordinary and heroic, which makes women fall in love with him. Even if such a man has no power or ability, there will definitely be women who will stick to him just by his appearance. After seeing him, men will either envy, be jealous, or feel ashamed of themselves. Some men will even be as moved as women. Few people can remain indifferent.

This is Qin Lingge, who is known as the "most beautiful man in the world".

After everyone entered Yuxu Palace, Qin Lingge took away all the attention and became the most dazzling pearl.

Qin Lingge's face is not too arrogant, but very gentle, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Many people are secretly looking at this famous and proud son of heaven.

After Zhang Yuelu looked at Qin Lingge for a few times, she took out a booklet from her sleeve and began to read it. This is the note she made last night after working hard all night, and it still has the fragrance of pen and ink. What is called sharpening the gun before the battle? This is it.

There is no way. Zhang Yuelu is not good at this. It is not that she does not understand it at all, but that she has not organized it into a complete and well-organized speech. The key to the discussion lies in the word "discussion", and the verbal skills cannot be underestimated.

Others naturally do not know what Zhang Yuelu is looking at, nor do they think that Zhang Yuelu will do something to cram for the exam. They just think that she is looking at other things. Some people even think that Zhang Yuelu is reading the official documents of Tiangang Hall. They just think that this deputy hall master Zhang is really arrogant and does not take today's opponent seriously.

But who would have thought that Zhang Yuelu took today's discussion very seriously, either not doing it or doing it well.

When Donghua Zhenren was talking about the surface, Cihang Zhenren glanced at the disciple with the corner of her eyes. With her condescending perspective and eyesight far beyond ordinary people, she could see the contents of the notes clearly and couldn't help laughing.

Most things in the world are afraid of the word "serious". I think that even if I lose this discussion, I won't lose too badly.

After Zhang Yuelu entered the state of concentrating on reviewing, she was in a state similar to Qi Xuansu's state when practicing swordsmanship. She turned a deaf ear to all kinds of things in the outside world, as if she was ignoring the outside world and only reading the books of sages.

Qin Lingge's eyes fell on Zhang Yuelu. He had heard of the great name and deeds of this exiled immortal a long time ago, but he didn't expect that the two would meet under such circumstances. This exiled immortal was also very different from what he imagined, and his style of doing things was even more unexpected.

The Fangzheng Confucian sect, which has always been particular about rules, can't tolerate such a woman.

At this time, after the several big shots finished their speeches, Ning Lingge said, "I heard that a young man named Qin is here this time."

Qin Lingge stood up and said, "Junior Qin Lingge greets Master Ning."

Ning Lingge smiled and said, "Your name is Lingge, and I am also called Lingge. It's a rare fate. I wonder what your courtesy name is?"

Qin Lingge said, "My courtesy name is Yuting."

"Yuting, fortunately our courtesy names are not the same." Ning Lingge said.

Qin Lingge smiled faintly and said no more.

Although this move was not impolite, it was still a bit arrogant in front of a great master.

Ning Lingge motioned Qin Lingge to take a seat, and then said: "The so-called discussion of Taoism and martial arts, the discussion of Taoism comes first, and the martial arts are later, so today we will only discuss Taoism, and tomorrow we will perform martial arts."

Qin Lingge's face showed unquestionable strong confidence. He looked around at the Taoist people opposite, but except for a few older Taoist masters, the other young disciples did not dare to meet Qin Lingge's eyes. Obviously, they were not sure about discussing Taoism with Qin Lingge, and they all avoided him.

Donghua Zhenren and Qingwei Zhenren did not show any expression on their faces, and their smiles did not change, but they were not indifferent. In addition to a little displeasure, there was probably some regret that Yao Pei and Li Changge were not present. It's not that they look down on Zhang Yuelu, but many masters have said that Zhang Yuelu's strength lies in doing things. In other words, her strength is not in talking, and this time it is a bit of a rush.

However, Ning Lingge didn't think so. He looked at Zhang Yuelu, his most favored old subordinate, with confidence.

Finally, Qin Lingge's eyes fell on Zhang Yuelu, whose lips moved slightly as if he was muttering something.

Zhang Yuelu, however, concentrated on the notes in her hand and did not respond to Qin Lingge's gaze, becoming more and more arrogant.

Qin Lingge's face was slightly cold, and he was a little annoyed, but he soon returned to his normal state of mind.

Even if the Taoist disciples were not as good as him, they could still suppress him by relying on their status as Taoist disciples, after all, they had a family background.

Cihang Zhenren said softly: "Qingxiao."

The voice was not loud, but he used the "Morning Bell and Evening Drum" in the "Cihang Pudu Sword Canon", which directly "awakened" Zhang Yuelu without scaring her. The mysterious means and the subtle use were truly the best in the world.

Zhang Yuelu naturally put away the notes in her hand, straightened her expression, and looked at Qin Lingge, with a sense of going to the examination room.

Because they were discussing Taoism while sitting, Qin Lingge did not stand up. He bowed to Zhang Yuelu and said, "I have heard of Zhang Gaogong's great name for a long time. Today, I would like to ask for your advice."

Zhang Yuelu said, "Daoyou Qin is a guest. Please use classics."

This is the rule of discussing Taoism. One party asks questions and the other party answers. Asking questions is not just throwing out a topic casually. Instead, you must quote classics and have reasons and evidence.

Because it is a meeting of three religions, the scope of classics includes various classics of Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism. It can be the words of the Supreme Taoist Ancestor, Buddha, the Supreme Saint Teacher, or the words of the sages of other three religions.

If someone throws out a classic, but you don't know where it comes from, then you will lose without a fight. It is a great test of the erudition of the person discussing Taoism. The threshold is very high.

Qin Lingge was not polite and said directly, "Okay."
