i have a sword fairy

Gui was silent for a while, then tentatively said, "Zhao Rong, are you going to sell Lin Wenruo?"

When the words fell, Gui immediately became excited, "This seat agrees with this idea, and this seat has long disliked him."

Zhao Rong said strangely, "Where did he offend you?"

Gui sneered, "How could he have the right to offend me, I just don't like his attitude of 'doing my part', as if Zhongnan would not be able to leave him. He, or you sour scholars, heh, There are also those Mo Xia with a single tendon, always holding some narcissism of the savior, self-righteous and taking saving the world as their responsibility, please, don’t look at your own position.”

"You Confucians don't have a saying, you don't have a position, you don't plan for your government. You have no ability, you just have the heart of a common man, and you dictate things all day long, and teach high-ranking people to do things. It seems that others are inferior to you. I can do better, hehe, I met one of these people and killed one of them back then."

Zhao Rong was speechless, opened the curtains, and glanced out the window.

Gui continued: "He, Lin Wenruo, is now the head of the Lanxi Lin clan, but as a result, he has no prudence and does not put the prosperity of the family in the first place, but takes the entire family as a bet for him alone, betting On the table, bet on an unknown future. It's okay to win, but what if you lose?"

"Ancestor's foundation, a hundred years of wear and tear, destroy it at once, it is a great treason!"

Zhao Rong did not refute or argue with it. He knew that what Gui said was actually his way, and what Lin Wenruo did was also his way. Everyone's way was different. Black is white.

And in this Xuanhuang Realm, what the various schools of thought and the monks on the mountain are fighting for, isn't it to make their own Dao the Dao recognized by the world?

As for what his Tao is, maybe he already has it, but he doesn't know it yet, and is still asking himself...

The more Gui thought about it, the more angry he became, "If my family has such unworthy descendants, I must go back and break his dog's legs!"

Zhao Rong said helplessly, "Okay, okay, break the dog's leg, break the dog's leg, stop being angry, if it's not convenient for you to hit, I'll help you break his dog's leg."

Gui snorted coldly, "You still have some conscience."

Zhao Rong said solemnly: "What are you talking about, who are we and who? Good brother who soaks a tub and sleeps with a quilt every night, who am I not going to help you?"

Zhao Rong coughed lightly, "By the way, first tell me which family it belongs to, I'll be ready first, or what if I run over and get interrupted by the dog's leg."

He didn't answer the question, and brought back the topic of habitual deviation, "So you didn't betray Lin Wenruo? Then how can you take it upright?"

It thought for a while, and said seriously: "Aren't you going to buy them from them, or exchange something for something? I advise you not to do this, don't think that people are fools, once you make such a request, they will immediately be alerted , Tingni Zijin Furnace, a treasure of the seventh level, can be dusted with pearls until now, giving you the opportunity to pick up the leak, which is a miracle in itself, and you still hope that others will not find its magic after checking it?"

After speaking, it was puzzled, "I don't know why it was left here, and the pearl has been covered in dust. Well, first of all, it can be ruled out as a bait. This small place even said that it is impossible for anyone in Wangquezhou to use this kind of thing. The treasure of the level is in the game, so you don't have to worry about fishing. Let's wait until you get it."

Zhao Rong thought for a while, then slowly said: "I'm not that stupid, I'll remind them that the furnace is extraordinary. I have some ideas at the moment, but they're not perfect. I'll have to observe for a few more days, but if there's no accident, we'll just walk in during the day. , in front of them, just take out the Tingni Zijin Furnace with integrity."

Returning to ask again, but Zhao Rong smiled and said nothing.

After a while, the carriage had bumped into the south gate of Luojing. Zhao Rong jumped out of the carriage, paid the fare, and returned to the inn with ease. After talking to the shopkeeper, he took out some money and put it on the counter. , extended the room to ten days.After that, Zhao Rong returned to the guest room, changed his clothes, tidied up his things, and left.

Zhao Rong bought some snacks for Su Xiaoxiao on the street. Seeing that it was getting late, he returned to Lanxi Lin's manor while thinking about things.

About an hour later, Zhao Rong stepped on the last rays of the setting sun and stepped into the quiet yard where he lived, and ended the way of lowering his head to think, but when he raised his head, he found that Lin Wenruo was holding a jade bi in his hand, standing in the yard.

"How long has Wen Ruo been waiting?" Zhao Rong said with a smile, went to the well to draw a pinch of water, and washed his hands.

Lin Wenruo smiled warmly and didn't ask Zhao Rong why he was out during the day, "I just came here for a while, did Ziyu eat? I happened to have a dinner party and introduced a friend to you."

Zhao Rong stopped for a moment, wiped his face with a silk towel, and looked back at Lin Wenruo.

Since Zhao Rong entered the Lin Manor, except for a few domestic servants, he has not seen many people. It is reasonable to say that the Lanxi Lin Clan, as a family of poetry and etiquette, a family of Zhongming Dingshi, and the leader of Confucianism and Taoism in Zhongnan, communicate with each other. There should be an endless stream of visiting Confucian scholars, dignitaries, and dignitaries, but the mansion is very quiet, there are no feasts, literary gatherings, silk and bamboo orchestras, and the surroundings of the residence of himself and others are even more quiet and no one.

This is probably the reason for preventing this Confucianism and Taoism debate from being leaked again, the same as last time.

As for myself going out twice today, I don't need to worry too much, because Lanxi Lin usually provides accommodation for some passing scholars and scholars, letting them live in a special homestay outside the manor.

Therefore, there are a lot of people entering and leaving, so Zhao Rong is inconspicuous among them.

And this time Lin Wenruo specially came to him for a dinner party and introduced friends, it could only be related to the debate between Confucianism and Taoism, and the identity of that friend was ready to be revealed.

"I didn't eat, let's go." Zhao Rong put down the silk towel and went out with Lin Wenruo with the cake.

When passing by Su Xiaoxiao's courtyard, the two stopped, Zhao Rong knocked on the door, waited for a while, found that Xiao Nizi was not there, and didn't know where to go, so he hung the cake on her door, and the two leave.

The dinner was held on the open-air top floor of a three-story building in the south corner of the manor.

The crescent moon is like a hook, and the evening breeze is gentle.

When Zhao Rong and Lin Wenruo went upstairs, a scribe was already waiting in the room.

This man is dressed in a big cloak, wears a jue bian on his head, and holds a feather fan in his hand.

Lin Wenruo explained to Zhao Rong.

This person's name is Chen Mu, the word is Muzhi, and he is a native of Zhongshan, thousands of miles away from Zhongnan.

Chen Muzhi was a well-known scholar in Zhongshan. He was a child prodigy since he was a child. He even won the third grade in the imperial examinations, but he refused to serve as an official.

Chen Muzhi is good at ancient poetry of the seven laws and clear talk and debate. He heard that the wind of clear talk in Zhongnan Kingdom was prevalent before, so he came to visit specially, because the family had an old relationship with the Lanxi Lin family, so he settled in the Lanxi Lin family's manor.

After the dispute between Confucianism and Taoism was settled, Lin Wenruo remembered that there was a good talker in his family, and invited him to help Lanxi Lin's favor, and the latter readily agreed.

Moreover, not long after Chen Muzhi came to Zhongnan, he didn't have much contact with Zhongnan celebrities, so almost no one in Zhongnan knew him, which was why Lin Wenruo chose him. Chong Xuguan didn't know Chen Muzhi's existence.

The three meet.

Lin Wenruo introduced the two with a smile, but Chen Muzhi frowned slightly when he found out that Zhao Rong was just a young scholar who went to Linlu Academy to study.

Zhao Rong said hello, and Chen Muzhi nodded with a rather reserved expression.

Zhao Rong smiled and didn't care.

During the banquet, the three of them exchanged cups and exchanged a cup of tea, and the conversation was quite enjoyable, but it was mainly Lin Wenruo who was active, Zhao Rong and Chen Muzhi were sitting around him, and there were very few words between the two.

Although Chen Muzhi is arrogant, he does have real talents and real learning. For example, when he drinks the flying flower order, Zhao Rong can't help but look at him a few more times, but Zhao Rong doesn't participate much, mainly because he and Lin Wenruo are playing .

However, with Lin Wenruo in the room, the atmosphere was not awkward, and it was considered a home away from home.

Soon, as the dinner drew to a close, Lin Wenruo looked up at the bright moon in the sky, Zhao Rong and Chen Muzhi put down their chopsticks and wine glasses.

After all, it was late, and the three still had business to discuss.

The three got up and walked to the railing.

Zhao Rong stretched out his hand and tapped the railing, looking into the distance.

Chen Muzhi shook his feather fan slowly, his expression indifferent.

Lin Wenruo glanced at the two of them, let out a sigh of relief, and looked serious, and slowly talked about the specific arrangements for the debate between Confucianism and Taoism after nine days.

Chapter 53 Wenruo Horse Racing

The crescent moon is like a hook, and the moon descends from a tall building. The three of them conspire.

Lin Wenruo spoke in a straightforward, concise and meaningful way.

His warm voice only reached Zhao Rong and Chen Muzhi's ears. Once it floated out of the building, it would be smashed into pieces by the strong wind and dissipated into the night.

The rules of this debate between Confucianism and Taoism are simple.

There are three sides on each side, one person against one person, three clear talks, and the one with the most wins wins.

Each clear talk is divided into two sides, the host and the object. The host puts forward opinions and makes comments, and the guest asks questions.

The viewpoints of the two parties are opposites, or it is not, so whatever viewpoint the host party chooses, the guest party must oppose it.

The two sides question and refute each other's views, to prove their own views, until the end, to argue the winner.

On the court, there will be judges who uphold impartiality, and off the court, there are more than [-] people and countless Zhongnan hermits and celebrities who are good at talking. Therefore, it is useless to argue and rogue. It is clear at a glance who is weak, who is responsible and who is wrong.

As for how the host and guest sides of each debate are arranged.

Lin Wenruo chose the right to start the selection, which is the first clear talk. Lin Wenruo sent one person to actively choose one of the three of the Chong Xuguan to conduct a clear talk, but the person on Lin Wenruo's side would be the guest, and the Chong Xu would The person who is selected will be the main party, the main party will throw out the opinion, and the objective party will hold the opposite.

The side of Chongxuguan has the right to choose the second clear talk and the master right of the third clear talk.

In the second session, they sent one person to choose one of Lin Wenruo's side to conduct a clear talk. They were the guest side, and the selected person was the host side.In the third game, there is no need to choose anyone, and there is only one person left on both sides, but the one who is rushing to the virtual is the main party and chooses the point of view of the debate.

After explaining the rules, Lin Wenruo looked at the two of them left and right.

Chen Muzhi was puzzled, and the feather fan stopped, "Wen Ruo, why do you want to give Chong Xuguan the power to be the master twice? Just so that we can choose our own people for the first game?"

After Lin Wenruo listened, the corners of her mouth twitched and she smiled without saying a word.

Zhao Rong had been listening carefully before, but suddenly his eyelids lifted, his right hand stopped hitting the hurdles, and he looked at Lin Wenruo, "Is it for Tian Ji's horse racing?"

Lin Wenruo asked curiously, "What is Tian Ji's horse racing?"

Chen Muzhi also looked curious.

Zhao Rong pondered slightly, changed the background of the story, and explained it to the two of them in detail.

The story of Tian Ji's horse racing is easy to understand. It is nothing more than three horse races, in which one's inferior horses are used against the opponent's superior horses, one's superior horses are used against the opponent's medium horses, and one's medium horses are used against the opponent's inferior horses. horse.So as to achieve the purpose of fostering strengths and circumventing weaknesses, and cleverly winning.

Chen Muzhi's gaze fixed on Zhao Rong. He had read a lot of books, but he had never heard of this story. A simple "best-of-three" horse race could lead to this kind of beneficial experience. Reason, he couldn't help but look at Zhao Rong a few more times.

However, what does it have to do with this debate between Confucianism and Taoism? You must know that this time the rules are much more complicated than a simple horse race.Chen Muzhi was still puzzled, but after seeing Zhao Rong and Lin Wenruo smiling at each other, he couldn't ask more questions, for fear of appearing ignorant.

On this side, Zhao Rong had just finished briefly telling the story of Tian Ji's horse racing, and Lin Wenruo suddenly smiled, his eyes lit up, "The one who knows me is Mo Ruo Ziyu."

Lin Wenruo nodded slightly, reorganized her language, and said with a smile, "Let's also have a horse race."

"At present, the identities of two of the three people who participated in the debate between Confucianism and Taoism in Chongxuguan are known. One is the national teacher Lan Zhongdao, whose name is Qingjingzi. It is no longer a secret in Zhongnan. Although he likes to talk a lot, he belongs to the low-middle level in Luojing's talk circle. I have checked this point carefully, and I have collected all the hands on talk he participated in. Copying the manuscript, we can be sure that it is not a trick, he is indeed average to the three of us." Lin Wenruo's mouth curved.

"The other person, named Zhang Dongxu, Taoist name Qingyuanzi, is Qingjingzi's senior brother. According to my investigation, he traveled abroad a few years ago, and then lived in seclusion in a small country in the south. He just returned to Chongxu a few days ago. View. When this person was in Zhongnan Kingdom, his level of clear talk was very high, and his level of traveling around has also improved, but..."

Lin Wenruo smiled lightly, "Qingchi browsed through all the manuscripts that came out after he participated in the elegant meeting in Zhongnan and talked with others, and there was no omission, and Qingchi also collected a lot of the manuscripts of his talk outside these years. Qingxuan knows his style of talking and the length of metaphysics well, and he will definitely be able to beat him."

Zhao Rong squinted and thought for a while, thinking that what Lin Wenruo said was right.He was in the university in his previous life and participated in the debate team in the first two years. He also has an understanding of similar debates. He knows that if someone learns about the style of clearing in advance, masters language habits and knowledge loopholes, and is thoroughly researched, he will fall into an extremely passive state. situation.

According to Zhao Rong's understanding, Lin Wenruo is good at Mingjing and clear talk, and it is really unfortunate to be targeted by such an opponent.

Lin Wenruo said slowly: "As for the third person who rushed to the virtual view, we don't know for the time being. He is a mysterious old man, but it is not a concern now. We will do the worst. This old man is the top horse of the virtual view. Qing Yuanzi is a medium horse, and the remaining Qingjingzi are undoubtedly inferior horses. We will deal with them in the way Tzuyu said Tian Ji raced horses."

After Lin Wenruo said that, he stopped and looked at Zhao Rong and Chen Muzhi's eyes from side to side. The former had a calm expression, while the latter nodded slowly.

Lin Wenruo said solemnly: "Our arrangement is that Qing Chi dares to go to the top horse, as for the middle horse..."

Lin Wenruo's eyes wandered on the two in front of him.

Chen Muzhi smiled and shook the feather fan with anticipation on his face.

Zhao Rong glanced at Lin Wenruo, who was careful, and then tilted his head to look at the rock carving on the horizon in the distance.

Lin Wenruo straightened his clothes, took a step back, and bowed to someone in front of him.

"Just ask Brother Ziyu!"

This is a heavy bow.

Zhao Rong raised his eyebrows.

Chen Muzhi's movements were stagnant, and his expression was very unnatural.

According to what he just learned, the role of the inferior horse is to give it for nothing, and it is specially used to touch the superior horse opposite the porcelain.

Although the role of the inferior horse is also very large, even the biggest, after all, it will die with the most powerful superior horse on the opposite side, but the experience is very bad, and it can be used by individuals. After all, it is a loser, who Wouldn't it?

Chen Muzhi licked his dry lips, his face a little uneasy.I am a dignified contemporary scholar in Zhongshan, even the one who is somewhat famous in the entire northern literary world of Wangquezhou, but now I want to be the least important tool horse, and I may not even have the chance to play...

Chen Muzhi was very depressed, because he thought he had a good temperament and wanted to leave at the moment, but Lin Wenruo had expected his reaction.

Lin Wenruo looked apologetic, grabbed Chen Muzhi's sleeve, and said sincerely, "Brother Mu, the most important task next is up to you. If you didn't help us hold the top horse on the opposite side, we would definitely lose. Lanxi The Lin family and the Zhongshan Chen family have been friends from generation to generation, and Muzhi's brother is just like Qingchi's brother, please help Qingchi."

Lin Wenruo patted Chen Muzhi's hand, "Afterwards, if Lanxi Lin's family was lucky enough to stay in Zhongnan, Qing Chi will definitely have a generous gift in return!"

After speaking, Lin Wenruo bowed again.

Chen Muzhi saw that Lin Wenruo's demeanor did not seem to be fake, and he glanced at Zhao Rong looking away with a blank expression, and did not laugh at him, Chen Muzhi sighed slightly, nodded, and reached out to help, " Wen Ruo, please get up quickly, why do you need to be more polite, as my brother, I didn't refuse."

In fact, he promised Lin Wenruo to participate in this debate on Confucianism and Taoism. He not only has the friendship between the two families, but also has the idea of ​​becoming famous. Although he does not love power, he loves fame. If he can defeat his opponent this time, and help Lanxi Lin If he wins the final victory, then his reputation will surely be known to the mountains of the surrounding countries.It's just a pity now.

Thinking of this, Chen Muzhi sighed, and couldn't help but glanced at the young scholar who leaned his back against the fence, with his elbows on the railing, his arms tucked down, and tilted his head to look at the young scholar. Let Lin Wenruo, who was born in Siqi Academy, take this seriously.

It's just that before he wanted to go and say hello to the scholar, a word came along with the evening wind, which surprised him, even Lin Wenruo was quite surprised.

"Wen Ruo, let's let Brother Mu be a medium horse."

Chapter 54 Tell them directly

Zhao Rong said with a smile, turned his head and looked at the two who were staring at him in surprise.

Zhao Rong shrugged, winked at Lin Wenruo, and raised the corners of his mouth, "Wenruo, in such an important position as a lower horse, I don't worry about you, I'll do it myself."

Lin Wenruo opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but seeing the young scholar in front of him shaking his head with a smile, he had no choice but to give up, nodding helplessly with a smile.

In fact, in Lin Wenruo's plan, the inferior horse on the opposite side was Qingjingzi. Whether it was Zhao Rong or Chen Muzhi as a medium horse, he could almost beat him. The reason why he chose Zhao Rong was that the relationship was closer and he felt more reliable. But since Zhao Rong didn't want to be, he had no way to force it.

Lin Wenruo thought for a while, then turned to Chen Muzhi who was staring at him: "Then I will trouble Brother Mu to be a middle horse, and I hope Brother Mu will forgive me."

Chen Muzhi nodded quickly, the feather fan in his hand shook a little faster, "It's okay."
