Zhao Rong nodded calmly and didn't care.

In front of the crowd, Ye Ruoxi, as the host of this gathering, introduced the two parties with a decent smile, but for the academy, it was just a brief introduction of some people, and the two leaders, Li Jinshu and Du Yifu, must be the first ones. Secondly, there are a few academy scholars whose cultivation base has reached the Haoran state or even the Tianzhi state, and there are also a few scholars with profound knowledge and experience but no cultivation base.

Because Linlu Academy is different from the Four Taiqing Mansions, the latter is closer to the ruthless mountain fairy family, and the status of the same sects in the mansion is determined purely by cultivation base and talent.

Linlu Academy pays more attention to the inheritance of Confucianism and Taoism, and admires the pure heart of seeking Taoism. It pays more attention to the cultivation of Confucian scholars, but it pays more attention to talent, learning and morality. For example, Zhao Rong heard that there are several gentlemen in the academy. Their cultivation bases didn't even reach Haoran Realm, but it didn't affect them being respected by all academicians.

Mr. He Wei?

Those who have achieved come first, the meaning of the teacher.

Of course, it would be the best if both the talent for enlightenment and the talent for cultivation can be combined. Otherwise, the lifespan of a mortal is only sixty years old, how can one find the Supreme Dao?

Zhao Rong stood behind, waiting quietly, thinking in his heart.

At a certain moment, his eyes swept across the audience.

The Tianjiao of the Taiqing Mansion, a group of academicians, and the carp girls who walked lightly through the banquet.

Zhao Rong is now a student of the academy, a reserve academy scholar. In this lonely city, it can be said that he is standing on the mountain. Although strictly counted, his cultivation base has not yet reached the Haoran state, so he can only be regarded as half a person. Mountain people.

But almost all the people he is in contact with now are monks on the mountain, just like these people in front of him.

Zhao Rong exhaled lightly, his eyes condensed slightly.

According to his observation these days, although these monks on the mountain are all cultivating, there are differences among them, which can be divided into several categories.

Hundreds of monks, such as Confucianism, Mohism, and Taoism, practice for the Dao wholeheartedly. Longevity is only an incidental or means to accomplish the goal, because in most cases, Dao and cultivation can promote each other.

And many other monks on the mountain practice for the sake of longevity and long-term vision. Contrary to the monks of the Hundred Schools, the Dao has become a process and a means, and these monks are currently the mainstream of the cultivation world on the mountain.

However, in addition to monks of the Hundred Schools, there are also some monks who pursue their own Dao or practice for certain responsibilities and missions. They pursue their own Tao and can only strive for resources to practice hard. They are similar to the monks of the Hundred Schools, but there are differences, because They must become stronger, or, in fact, the ancestors of all schools of thought were originally such monks.

For example, the ancestors of Taoism, the most holy teachers, the first giants of the Mohist family, etc., they overcame thorns and thorns all the way, and opened up their own paths to become the avenues of the world. They did not have the blessings left by their ancestors. The comer, himself is the eternal No. 1 on the avenue under his feet, so he can only move forward, forward, forward.

This is also the reason why the patriarchs of each school are all powerful in cultivation, even the historical pinnacle of the school they belong to, and no younger generation of the same way can surpass them.

And when their Dao School was established, they formed a cohesive organization, which could shelter those ignorant juniors who have no spiritual talent in later generations, so that mortals have equal qualifications to practice Taoism, just like those respected people in Lin Lu Academy Mr. Mortal.

Zhao Rong sighed softly in his heart. From the current point of view, taking this path within the Confucian system is the best solution based on his cultivation aptitude. However, Zhao Rong will not take this path as the first choice.

If he practiced out of curiosity and interest as he did at the beginning, then he would practice in a Buddhist way, with no worries, no worries and no demands.

But now not only has an auspicious covenant with Gui, the most important thing is that Zhao Rong also has a bond - he doesn't want Qing Jun and Xiao Xiao to be widows.

Zhao Rong couldn't bear them.

Xiaoxiao belongs to the psychic demon clan. After forming a demon pill, her lifespan is measured in thousands of years.

Qing Jun breaks through the realm all the way, and her lifespan keeps increasing. As long as she doesn't stay in a certain realm for too long, her appearance is almost permanent. When she reaches the seventh realm of Sword Cultivation, she can even condense a glassless body, immortal... …

If things go on like this, when he is pale and gray-haired, Qingjun and Xiaoxiao are still beautiful, youthful and beautiful... It's scary to think about it.

Although according to the temperament of these two silly girls, they will definitely accompany him to the end of their old age, and even try their best to find a life-prolonging medicine for him.

But Zhao Rong didn't want to, he was indifferent to the world, after waking up the memory of his previous life, it was equivalent to reliving the whole life, he could not be nostalgic for this world of mortals, but he couldn't bear to be separated from his beloved ones, and let the woman he loved stay widowed for the rest of his life , or even do stupid things.

For example, Su Xiaoxiao, a stupid girl, has read too many novels about gifted scholars and beauties, and her little head is always thinking about transforming butterflies. In other words, if you are a little fox demonizing a fart butterfly, can you still mutate across races?Have you asked your ancestors of the Fox clan?

No matter how many times I told her, I didn't listen to him. Every time I heard him tell a sad story in Liaozhai, I wiped my tears with the back of my hand and said that I will turn into a butterfly with Zhao Lang in the future...

Zhao Rong was worried.

Not to mention Qing Jun, in order to prolong his life against the heavens, I don't know if he will do something rebellious...

Nowadays, it is useless to think too much, and there is no other way. Apart from studying, Zhao Rong can only collect resources and work hard to break through.

As for the "theory of one source of body and function" that he put forward for the first time in this world in the debate on Confucianism and Taoism, Lin Wenruo said that Zhao Rong can go to Jixia Academy to get a gift from heaven and earth, even if Zhao Rong wants to , using the memory of the previous life, you can also get more gifts from heaven and earth.

However, this broad avenue of cultivators from a hundred schools of thought that once caught Zhao Rong's eyes was quickly ruthlessly rejected, which is why he didn't rush to Jixia Academy to receive the "experience gift package".

After all, with his ordinary physique, he is like a small narrow-mouthed bottle, and the gift of the Dao in the place of enlightenment is like the water of the North Sea, no matter how much there is, even the smallest portion of "Dao" Gifts are not considered what his little "bottle" can hold.

In short, Gui's conclusion is that Zhao Rong is too small, too thin, too short, and it is not enough to watch.

At present, there is only one end to going to Jixia Academy, and that is to be immediately blown up by the aura of heaven and earth.

After Gui finished speaking, he said in admiration, this is also a rare way of death, and was buried with honor on the Avenue of Heaven and Earth, tsk tsk, why don't you try it, Mr. Zhao?Let me increase my knowledge, and it is guaranteed to be more enjoyable than setting off fireworks in the Qin Mansion...

At this time, thinking of this unreliable poisonous sword spirit again, Zhao Rong's teeth itch, and he doesn't know how long it will wake up after sleeping. I haven't settled with it for Li Ji Jianwan's matter, but it's okay, I can't run away ...

Zhao Rong's top priority right now is to advance to the Fuyao Realm as soon as possible, and then he will be able to play more of his role as a returnee. Ascend to Heaven Realm makes excuses saying that it is too simple to teach, and the Fuyao Realm depends on what you say. There are new exercises to practice.

And the most important thing is that Gui promised that Fuyao Realm can start looking for those rebellious magic medicines that can help him improve his physique. Zhao Rong can already take it, and open up the natural dead end of this body's promotion to Haoran Realm.

This is also the only way for him to break through the shackles of this good-for-nothing body. If he can collect some legendary materials, refine the kinds of rebellious medicines mentioned by Gui, and take them by chance, then, from now on The sea and the sky are vast, the avenue is unrestricted, and it is soaring...

Zhao Rong has been thinking a lot, so the most important thing right now is how to get through the big circle in his body, break through the stage of shaking clothes, and enter the state of soaring thoughts.

The Qinan Chenxiang gifted by Lin Wenruo had been exhausted a few days ago, and his practice speed slowed down in the past few nights, and his efficiency was several times lower, which made Zhao Rong extremely uncomfortable, just like he was used to running wildly on Kangzhuang Avenue all the way before. Suddenly he was forced to turn to a muddy mountain road with uneven potholes and continue to run... Stumbled like a turtle.

Top-level support items like Qi Nan Agarwood are rare. Zhao Rong has used up Lanxi Lin’s stock for nearly 20 years, and now he has to find a way to find other support items. It’s too slow to practice hard with your head covered. Well, it's not a long-term solution.

Zhao Rong let out a breath of turbid air in his chest, and decided that after this gathering, he would take a chance to visit Duyou City, and carefully search for other auxiliary materials in the Xianjia market...

He was wandering around the world alone in the back, and he didn't know where his mind was going. He was thinking about what would happen after the gathering. Anyway, this gathering was only pulled by the big brother to support the scene, and he left immediately when it was over.

However, at the gathering at this moment, less than half a quarter of an hour has passed. Ye Ruoxi in front of him has roughly finished introducing the participants. Of course, there is nothing wrong with Zhao Rong. Young master's juniors" have been taken, well, they were even praised as "they are all the pillars of the academy".

At this moment, Ye Ruoxi turned her head to a certain woman by the Nuanxi River not far away and said with a smile:

"Who is this, I don't think I need to go into details. The men in your academy should all know each other. Junior sister Kongyi, why are you sitting by yourself and not talking? Is there something bothering you? You can tell us, we Give you an idea."

Liu Kongyi sat on the bank of the stream, stretched out his hand, and stroked the stream upstream with his fingers.

She was concentrating on the red carp swimming in the warm stream in a daze, when she heard the words, she slowly raised her head, and looked away from the stream, feeling a little reluctant to part.

Liu Kongyi broke away from his thoughts, and smiled at everyone: "It's okay, thank you, Senior Sister Ruoxi, for your concern."

At this time, a scarlet dragon carp emerged from the stream beside her, and there was no wave when it came out of the water.

The red dragon carp floated around and let Liu Kongyi turn around, then continued to dive into the clear warm stream, and started to play with the live carp in circles.

Many people showed curiosity.

Ye Ruoxi asked: "Junior Sister Kongyi, what is this? It's so amazing."

Liu Kongyi looked around, except for a short while on a man with his head down reading a book, she mostly just glanced at it, and she said indifferently: "It's nothing, it's just a little gadget I got by chance not long ago."

Seeing that Liu Kongyi didn't say anything, Ye Ruoxi didn't ask any more questions, and turned around to introduce the rest of the people.

Liu Kongyi noticed that there were many men staring at her in Yaji, but Liu Kongyi didn't care, she was used to it long ago. She just glanced at Li Jinshu for the Confucian scholars who just came, and the other academicians Son, there is nothing worthy of her attention.

Liu Kongyi suddenly tilted his head, and smiled lightly at Du Yifu who was sitting not far away and watching her frequently.

The latter's complexion suddenly brightened, and he smiled brightly.

It's just a pity that before he could make another move, Liu Kongyi turned his eyes away and didn't look at him anymore, but Du Yifu wasn't depressed, he just felt that his relationship with Fairy Liu was getting closer.

These days, they often participate in literary meetings together. This Fairy Liu likes poetry, and they often talk about poetry. Du Yifu feels that the two of them have become acquainted a lot, although Fairy Liu sometimes still seems indistinct I feel, however, Du Yifu feels that with his talent and learning, one day he will be able to win this fairy who has made many academicians fall into the sand.

Liu Kongyi withdrew her gaze boredly, and continued to look at the carp in the stream. She continued to think about the poem she filled out a few days ago, and revised it in her mind, but she was still dissatisfied, and she frowned slightly. Stunned again...

Chapter 182 She Comes

Ye Ruoxi had already roughly introduced the people in the gathering, her eyes looked around twice again, and finally turned to the southeast corner, which was the direction Ye Ruoxi had been ignoring intentionally or unintentionally before.

There is a clump of green bamboo in the southeast corner of Yaji, and under the bamboo is a torreya wood chess pier, with a man and a woman sitting opposite each other on both sides.

It's just that the two haven't played chess at this time, and the chess on the chessboard has been played.

The man on the white chess side is reading a book with his head down. A thick book is placed between his knees. He is holding two white go pieces in one hand and flipping them between his fingers. He raises his finger with the other hand and slowly flips through the pages of the book.

The man was flipping through the book in a casual posture, as if he was a little absorbed in reading, and didn't pay attention to the movement on the gathering.

Therefore, when everyone at the gathering followed Ye Ruoxi's gaze, he turned a deaf ear and didn't look up.

The man was dressed in a simple black uniform. Although he lowered his head, his face could be seen to be like a jade crown.

And the woman opposite him was also similar to him.

The girl from Heizi Fang is just wearing a simple uniform from the Taiyi Mansion. Compared with most of the girls on the Yaji, she is ordinary. She is raising her hand to clean up the chessboard with a calm face, throwing Bai Zi and Hei Zi into boxes by category. , A small matter, but also do it with a focused look.

Ye Ruoxi's eyes naturally ignored the young man looking down at the book again, she smiled at the woman in Heizifang, and introduced to the academicians:

"This is Senior Sister Yunzi from Taiyi Mansion. I have admired Senior Sister Yunzi for a long time, but Senior Sister has been coming out rarely. I didn't expect to meet this time in Nuanxi Bamboo Garden. Senior Sister Kongyi and Mr. Du are really amazing. , Even Senior Sister Yunzi has been invited here, it’s a good deal for me, I heard that Senior Sister Yunzi is preparing to retreat and cast a golden elixir, here, the younger brothers and sisters wish Senior Sister Yunzi a great success in the golden elixir, a top-ranked alchemy, and a smooth graduation.”

Everyone echoed.

Yunzi nodded with a smile, "Thank you brothers and sisters for your concern."

For this female student who is estimated to be the highest in the Yaji, Zhao Rong interrupted his thoughts and looked up. As for the bowed man sitting opposite her, Zhao Rong was also a little curious. Unfortunately, Ye Ruoxi and Yunzi exchanged pleasantries After the sentence, he looked away again, without any intention of introducing the unknown man.

What made Zhao Rong even more interested was that after finishing her speech, Senior Sister Yunzi continued to clean up the chessboard, and after patiently sorting all the chess pieces on the chess pier into the corresponding chess boxes except for the two white pieces in the man's hand , She took out a set of tea sets, made a cup of tea, then got up slightly, brought the teacup to the hand of the bowed man with both hands, and said something softly.

The man with the bowed head nodded slightly, took a sip from the teacup without raising his head, and continued to flip through the book.

Yunzi sat aside, waiting quietly.

This pair of men and women, who looked like masters and servants, were like outsiders, out of tune with this Nuanxi Yaji, they were alone and did not join in the bustle of the crowd.

As for this scene, Zhao Rong was not the only one who noticed it. The students of the Taiqing Mansion in the Yaji were all monks with eyes and ears, and no one was blind. However, not many people looked at it curiously. Get used to it.

Zhao Rong watched it for a while, but didn't pay any more attention to it. He had long been aware of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, the four prefectures of the Taiqing, where the elites of a state gathered.

After introducing everyone, Ye Ruoxi joked with a smile:

"It's hard for everyone to listen to my talkative chatter for so long, but after this introduction, everyone should be familiar with it, so don't be restrained anymore, and everyone will be lively."

She glanced at Li Jinshu with a serious expression beside her with a smile, "This time, we will hold an elegant gathering in this green mountain and green water. Although the main purpose is to recite poems and discuss knowledge, since it is an elegant gathering, there must be elegant people and elegant people." In addition, there are so many beauties attending the meeting, so we can’t stay bored all the time, just listen to your men’s long talk, we have to hold some interesting activities, both men and women can participate, heck, I just happen to An interesting idea came to mind..."

Ye Ruoxi paused, looked around the audience, saw that most of them were looking at her, and listened attentively, Ye Ruoxi raised her hand, raised her index finger and tapped lightly, and continued to smile:

"Well, what is it specifically, let me introduce you for a while, now that everyone has not come, let's wait for a quarter of an hour, so that the red carp girls can arrange the things first, and then talk to you in a quarter of an hour. "

After saying that, everyone laughed and dispersed, having fun.

It was the morning, the sun was shining brightly, and the breeze was blowing through the gaps in the bamboo leaves, and together with the fine light, it adorned the Yaji by the warm stream, and the young students and scholars.

Some people play alone, enjoying themselves, or listen to the waves in the bamboo forest, or fish in the warm stream, or lean on the stone to rest, or burn incense and paint...

There are also some men who get together to have fun, one person plays the piano, and several people gather around to cook springs and tea.

And those women with refined looks ran to the upper reaches of the warm stream in groups, avoiding the sight of the men, taking off their socks and washing their feet by the stream hidden in the forest.

The sound of the stream splashing could be heard vaguely, accompanied by bursts of laughter like silver bells, presumably they must be playing with water again, Luo Chang was wet, and the waves were choppy...

The clear timbre of the women has its own characteristics.

The men who heard this downriver couldn't help but look at each other in blank dismay.

"Junior brother, don't look at injustice, don't listen to injustice."

Zhao Rong, who was making tea with the elder brother, twitched the corner of his mouth when he heard the elder brother's words.

He glanced at Li Jinshu who was making tea with a stern face, and was a little speechless.

Senior brother, you told me not to listen to evil, so why are you blushing?Did you hear that Miss Ye's laughter just now?

"Okay, ahem, senior brother, your tea is overflowing..."

About a quarter of an hour later, everyone returned with smiles one after another, Ye Ruoxi clapped her hands crisply, and everyone gathered around her again.

Ye Ruoxi glanced down the mountain, seeing that her cousin hadn't come yet, she was a little hesitant, she thought about it, and was about to speak.

Just this time.

In the field of vision, not far below, there are two women walking up the mountain step by step.

Ye Ruoxi took a first look, and saw the woman walking in front clearly, her eyes lit up.

It's finally here, um, this stinky little girl is well dressed, hey, who is the girl in the skirt at the back, she looks familiar... Ah, no way, how could she wear such beautiful clothes... …

The first of the two girls up the mountain is Ye Lanzhi who has not come for a long time.

And when Ye Ruoxi saw the woman behind Ye Lanzhi clearly, her eyes were blank at first, and then gradually showed surprise.

Seeing that Ye Ruoxi remained silent, and twisted her neck stiffly, the people at the gathering seemed to be fixed in a certain direction, standing motionless in place, they couldn't help turning their heads to follow her gaze.

I saw that the woman led by Ye Lanzhi up the mountain... turned out to be Concubine Zhao Ling.

And the most surprising thing is that today's Concubine Zhao Ling no longer has the simple and plain dress of the past.

Although the hair is still made of wooden hairpins, there is a light makeup on the small oval face, the eyes are like autumn water reflecting the moon, the eyebrows are like distant mountains with black hair, and the skin is like peach blossoms with a smile.

The original delicate face became more refined and fair, and the tear mole under the left eye seemed to be slightly touched by the ink pen, and the color became darker, which also made Yi Ren's cold face softer.
