Chapter 19: In the first place
The woman did not expose Chen Ning on the spot, which means that there are still some tricks. Chen Ning is at a disadvantage, so it is not advisable to take the initiative and should wait and see.
And as time passed, the protagonist of Wang Beixuan's banquet finally came.
I saw Taoist Master Xuanji wearing a Taoist robe and holding Buddha dust in his hands, and everyone surrounded him.
Chen Ning stood outside the crowd and looked at the Taoist Master Xuanji curiously.
Afterwards, Wang Beixuan personally asked Taoist Master Xuanji to enter the hall, and everyone followed. At this time, the table table and fruit dishes were prepared in the hall.
Wang Beixuan and Taoist Master Xuanji sat on the upper head, and the others entered the seat on the left and right sides. Chen Ning was exposed to Li Qingkong's light and sat in the front of the left.
After sitting down, many young maids brought wine and then sang and danced.
For a banquet like this, first look at the entertainment activities to mobilize the atmosphere. Only after three rounds of wine will you get to the topic, such as choosing a theme to recite poems and write a pair of poems, or choosing a topic to talk about the past and the present, or today's practical things, and express your opinions and suggestions.
Chen Ning was a little excited. Can he recite the poem again?
Keeping Tang poetry and Song lyrics in your heart is not worthy of the nine years of compulsory education in your previous life?
After singing and dancing, two young men used swords to discuss martial arts, and their moves were fancy, so they brought the atmosphere up.
After Bi Jian retreated, a young man on the right stood up and said, "Everyone, please be quiet for a while. Today, thanks to the Prince Wang who invited Taoist Master Xuanji, we can let us see the demeanor of the Taoist Master Tianshi. I would like to suggest that why not raise a glass together and respect Taoist Master Xuanji for a cup?"
Everyone responded and drank together.
Then, the young man bowed to Taoist Master Xuanji and said, "In Zhang Yu, Zhang family in Xia Pengcheng, whose name is Changliu, I have heard that Taoist Master is well-known for a long time. Taoist Master knows that the stars in the nine heavens are illusioned, and the yin and yang changes in the nine ghosts, and his magical powers are all over the sky. He has a saying of the ability to measure his life. Every sentence of the Taoist Master himself becomes true. He is a low-key person, otherwise he will be tempted to measure his life. But he has admired Taoist Master for many years and has rarely met him today. I am brave enough to let us see Taoist Master's ability to measure his life with his own eyes?"
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately aroused everyone's response.
"Yes, Master Xuanji, please use your magical powers to open your eyes!"
"If I can see Master Xuanji's life test with my own eyes, I will have no regrets in this life!"
......
Chen Ning couldn't help but sneer while drinking.
Yu Xuefei, who was beside her, glared at him, and while everyone was responding, she asked, "Why are you laughing? Don't be rude!"
Chen Ning said: "This Zhang Yu is just asking. This drama is really good, and it is developing towards a fantasy rhythm and starting to test your life. It's so exciting."
Yu Xuefei is also from a noble family and is not stupid. She naturally understands the reason for all this. She explained: "Whether it is acting or not, this Taoist Master Xuanji's life-testing method is indeed very powerful."
"Oh, is that? When I was in Qingzhou, I focused on studying and practicing martial arts, so I was so outstanding. I was flawless and concerned about other things. I don't know much about the origin of this Taoist Master Xuanji. You might as well tell me." Chen Ning boasted all the time.
Yu Xuefei gave him a blank look, but did not refuse, but moved slightly, approached Chen Ning, and whispered to him.
"This Taoist Master Xuanji is a very good-looking brother of the Taoist Master Tianshi. He is proficient in the theory of fate testing. His Majesty now believes that the fate of the people in the world is destined. By measuring fate, you can judge in advance which people are important officials who are beneficial to the country and who are traitors. Among all the Taoist Master Xuanji's destiny are two most successful examples. First, Dong Ru, the prime minister of the dynasty, was unruly and unscrupulous when he was young. After seeing him, Taoist Master Xuanji personally measured his fate and said that he had the talent of the king and the country. Who would have thought that a prodigal son from a noble family would become a prime minister and a high-ranking minister. Because of this fate testing, Taoist Master Xuanji was famous for his great reputation!" Yu Xuefei said.
Chen Ning curled his lips, what is this? He praises people when he sees it. If someone happens to be well developed, this is a life test. I can only say that Taoist Master Xuanji is lucky.
"What about another example?" Chen Ning asked.
Yu Xuefei got closer and her voice was lower, and she seemed to be talking about something obscure.
"Do you know the Shen family, a top-grade family that was once among the top-grade?" Yu Xuefei asked.
Chen Ning smiled and said, "Of course I heard that I was killed by the whole family more than ten years ago and the nine clans were killed? It's already an old Huangsheng. Could it be related to Taoist Master Xuanji?"
Yu Xuefei explained: "I heard that a long time ago, Master Xuanji had tested his fate for the then head of the Shen family, Chen Lie, saying that he was 'Jinlin was not a water object, and he turned into a dragon when he encountered the wind and clouds.' It is said that when this statement came out, the world was shocked, and Chen Lie did soar and became the pillar of the country protection of the Jin Dynasty at that time, and the foreign tribes dared not invade. Unfortunately, he was rebellious later and was finally exposed. He was also defeated on Luolinpo and died in the battlefield. Luolinpo, Luolinpo, and it was also fate."
Chen Ning nodded. He already knew his life experience. Xu Qishu told him.
However, his adoptive father Xu Qishang did not mention Master Xuanji's proverb. Perhaps in their opinion, his father's death was a calculation by a top-grade family and had nothing to do with Master Xuanji. But Chen Ning understood that all these are bullshit proverbs.
When the wind and clouds turn into dragons? Dragons are a symbol of royal families. This sentence has been a rebellious from the beginning. But Master Xuanji is fine, so naturally Chen Ning's father is fine.
The Shen family was destroyed, and the cause and effect inside was definitely not that simple.
Chen Ning asked: "At that time, something happened to the Shen family, and I don't know how many aristocratic families were implicated."
Yu Xuefei's expression was a little strange and muttered a little: "I heard that there was only the Shen family. Forget it, it's better not to mention it. This matter is still a taboo. I heard that the Tianlong Guard and the Earth Hu Guard are still searching for the Shen family's remains, and the reward is very high."
Chen Ning nodded and did not ask again.
A top-grade family was executed on charges of treason, and none of the other related families were implicated. What does this mean?
"By the way, what are the Tianlong Guard and the Earth Huard Guard?" Chen Ning said curiously.
Yu Xuefei said helplessly: "It's true? You haven't heard of it!"
"When I was in Qingzhou, I was devoted to reading the books of sages and turned a blind eye to the things outside the window..." Chen Ning began to boast about himself again.
Yu Xuefei quickly interrupted and said, "The imperial guards set up by Your Majesty himself, in the Tianlong Guard Palace, the Earth Hu Guard is in charge of the world's arrests and spies, and is not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of War or the Dali Temple, and is directly ordered by Your Majesty. Therefore, even the aristocratic families dare not provoke the Earth Hu Guard easily."
Chen Ning nodded. After all, he had just traveled through this world for a while and it was impossible to know all the news. It seems that he had to increase the collection of information. Only by knowing himself and his enemy could he win every battle.
Li Qingkong beside her looked slightly sideways, and she was a little stunned as she watched the two of them whisper.
Don’t my aunt hate him very much?
And at this time.
