Chapter 14: Heavenly Immortals Discuss Taoism(1/2)
Seeing that the owner of the family was so polite, Le Yiyang hurriedly thanked the girl:
"Miss, this young master is so polite. I don't know how to thank him."
Lai Ji Yun looked at Le Yiyang, pulled him to the corner, closed the door, and said to him gently:
"Tomorrow morning at the Tianxian Pavilion, be careful. This place is as legendary. I have never seen a living person leave the gate of Youyun Villa."
After hearing this, Le Yiyang knew that something was wrong, and he was extremely anxious and said to Lai Ji Yun,
"What should I do?"
"I will tell you something when I see you are not bad." Lai Jiyun walked out the window, looked around, then closed the window, turned around and said to Le Yiyang.
"The one just now was my senior brother, named Lu Zhicheng, who was twenty-one years old this year. His real name was Zhizhi, and he was the son of Lu Guanyan, the leader of the rebel army in the late Later Tang Dynasty. Later, he changed his name to Zhicheng without avoiding the court's pursuit. When his senior brother was eight years old, his father unfortunately died in the siege of the enemy. My senior brother was sent to Luzhou by my master and lived in seclusion here for a long time. After so many years, the senior brother has never given up on the idea of avenging his father. Although the person who killed his father has passed away, his descendants are still pampered in Kaifeng Prefecture."
"So that's it. I heard that I was going to the capital, so I kept me. It seems that tomorrow will be in danger." Le Yiyang said worriedly.
"It may not be so pessimistic," Lai Ji Yun said, "I have been by my senior brother for many years. You are one of the few people I have seen who have been invited to attend the Tianxian Pavilion breakfast banquet. None of the other people who have trespassed in Youyun Villa were able to leave alive."
"It seems that I almost killed me too." A chill flashed through Le Yiyang's heart. After his shock, he asked:
"Why did Miss Lai save me just now?"
"It's not that I saved you, it's just that you saved yourself." Lai Jiyun looked at Le Yiyang and replied softly.
"What do you say about Miss Lai?" Le Yiyang said in surprise.
Lai Jiyun did not answer his words directly, but walked to Le Yiyang and asked,
"How long has it been since you entered the village and my senior brother appeared?"
"It will take about half an hour." Le Yiyang said hesitantly.
"Half an hour is enough to take the head on your neck." Lai Jiyun said lightly,
After hearing what she said, Le Yiyang felt that his heart was almost about to come out. He didn't expect Ji Yun to say this, and he was shocked and cold.
"I still don't understand, I hope the girl will tell you." He replied.
"My senior brother never needs to wait half an hour for what he wants to do." Lai Ji Yun said.
"So that's it." Le Yiyang finally fell to the ground in his heart. If he hadn't been calm just now, he would have become the ghost under the sword of this girl.
"It's not early now, Yun'er will arrange for the young master to sleep." As he said that, he led him out of the atrium. At this time, the moon was already hazy outside the room. Le Yiyang followed Ji Yun, carrying a lantern, and walking on the curved path. The cold wind blew from the grass, making it cold. While talking, the two had already arrived at the backyard.
"Tonight is too hasty, so I feel wronged that my son stays here for a night." Lai Jiyun pointed to the house in the south and said to Le Yiyi.
"Thank you, Miss Lai." Le Yiyang smiled at Lai Ji Yun.
"Young Master, take a break early." After coming to Ji Yun returned the gift, he walked away.
Le Yiyang waited for Ji Yun to walk away before he walked into the house carefully. He put his luggage on the table and looked at the house carefully with a lantern. The house was very ordinary, but there was a thick layer of dust on the bed sheets. It seemed that no one had lived here for many days, Le Yiyang thought to himself. After a day of tossing, Le Yiyang was already exhausted and could not take care of so much. He fell asleep in bed.
The next day, Le Yiyang rose up all morning. When he thought of Lu Zhicheng's life experience and the banquet at Tianxian Pavilion today, he couldn't help but feel nervous. Le Yiyang tried hard to calm himself down. At this time, the voice of Ji Yun came from outside the room. Le Yiyang hurriedly opened the door.
"Come here so early, I'll disturb the young master's rest." Lai Ji Yun said at the door.
Le Yiyang saw that Lai Jiyun was already wearing a purple long skirt and a golden hairpin on his head. His big watery eyes made people feel moved when they looked at it.
"I've gotten up long ago wherever I am." Le Yiyang looked at Lai Jiyun and said slowly.
Seeing this, Lai Jiyun quickly lowered his head and said softly,
"The banquet at Tianxian Pavilion begins at the beginning of the hour. Please go with Yun'er."
"Miss, I am not a young master. Just call my name directly from now on." Le Yiyang said frankly.
Lai Ji Yun shook his head and said:
"Young Master is humble."
It was true that the two of them greeted each other next to the lake next to the bamboo forest. The lake was about ten miles in radius, and the scenery around them was reflected on the lake surface, rippling with the waves.
"This is Huijing Lake, and there is Tianxian Pavilion in front of it." Lai Jiyun pointed to the middle road of the lake.
Le Yiyang followed Ji Yun's hand and saw a three-story pavilion built around the water, decorated in magnificent style, quite like the style of a palace courtyard.
"It really has a flavor. I just don't know how to get over it." Le Yiyang turned his head and asked.
Seeing this, Lai Jiyun said,
"Young Master, you don't know that anyone who goes to the Tianxian Pavilion banquet is a hero in the martial arts world that my senior brother relies on. Therefore, naturally, someone will come to greet you."
After talking, a small boat came to the lake, carrying the two of them towards the Tianxian Pavilion.
Le Yiyang and Lai Jiyun climbed the steps of the Tianxian Pavilion. Several entourages in armor were already waiting at the door. Lai Jiyun handed over the sword she carried with him, put it in the tray in the entourage's hand, and then stood by waiting for Le Yiyang. Seeing this, Le Yiyang also handed over the items she carried with him. Only then were put in.
After entering the Tianxian Pavilion, the two walked along the hovering stairs to the third floor. Le Yiyang asked carefully on the road,
"Miss, what happened just now?"
Lai Jiyun replied, "This is the rule set by my master in his early years. Anyone who enters the Tianxian Pavilion is not allowed to bring weapons."
"So that's it. Can you ask where your master is now?"
"I'll meet later."
While talking, the two had already reached the third floor. There were two maids wearing white long skirts at the door. When they saw that the guests had arrived, they smiled and said,
"Miss, the young master and the leader have been waiting for a long time." After saying that, he pushed open the door with a golden kirin pattern and opened the bead curtain at the door.
"Please, please." Come to Ji Yun and then follow the two maids into the inner room.
At this time, the room was already full of people attending the breakfast banquet. Lu Zhicheng and a white-haired old man were sitting on the main stage. This person was the current leader of the martial arts world, Xian Yunhuan and Lu Zhicheng's master. Le Yiyang walked while paying attention to these people. Most of them sat upright in their seats and stared at him quietly.
When he walked to the front of the stage, Le Yiyang bowed to Lu Zhicheng and said:
"I have met Mr. Lu in Taiyuan."
"Young Master Le, don't be polite, get on the seat quickly, get on the seat quickly." Lu Zhicheng said hurriedly, then pointed to the first row on the left.
After Le Yiyang sat down, Lu Zhicheng said,
"Today, all the leaders can come to my Tianxian Pavilion banquet, which is really a blessing for Yu Sansheng."
Everyone hurriedly said:
"Young Master Lu has peerless martial arts and aura of all nations. He is truly a master."
Just listen to Lu Zhicheng:
"I am not talented, but Master Quannai has been teaching me carefully today." After that, he stood up and served tea to Master himself.
Xian Yunhuan took the tea, put it on her mouth and dipped it, nodded slightly, and then said to everyone.
"Cheng'er is still young, I hope you can help him more in the future."
Everyone responded,
"There have been rumors in the world that Mr. Lu and the alliance leader have deep feelings. When they see each other today, they are indeed well-known. Since the alliance leader has spoken, how can we not follow the truth?"
"Today, my master and I invited everyone to talk about the major issues of family and country." Lu Zhicheng said, "I believe everyone has heard of what has happened recently, right?"
The people in the audience immediately talked about it. One person on the seat said,
"Dare you ask Mr. Lu, is it on the border between the two countries?"
Lu Zhicheng nodded.
"We are all from the world. Such things should be the troubles of those officials in the court. Why should the young master take it on himself?"
"Just because there is a story, I want to find out the truth." Lu Zhicheng replied.
Seeing that something was wrong at this time, the heads of the sect waited for Lu Zhicheng to tell him slowly.
At this time, Lu Zhicheng did not say it out loud. He walked to Le Yiyang and introduced:
"This is Mr. Le from the Taiyuan border. He passed by the small house yesterday and specially invited him to today's breakfast banquet."
Le Yiyang quickly stood up and bowed to everyone:
"I am happy and passing by the treasure land, I hope all the heroes will give me more advice."
When the leaders saw Le Yiyang's appearance and behavior were appropriate, and Mr. Lu personally introduced him, they all thought that he would have extraordinary martial arts.
Lu Zhicheng raised his glass toast,
"Drink this glass of wine."
Everyone drank a full drink. One of them said with a smile:
"The wine in Youyun Villa is as gentle as a girl."
All the leaders laughed.
"Yun'er is ignorant. Could it be that she is causing trouble outside again?" said the leader of the Alliance.
"Miss Lai lives in Youyun Villa all year round and is seen strictly by Mr. Lu. We are just speculations, how can we have a chance to see you?"
Lu Zhicheng hurriedly said, "My junior sister has always been a maverick, and even the master can't control her. How can I control her?"
Everyone laughed. At this time, Le Yiyang deliberately raised the teacup, slowly tasted the fragrant tea, and remembered what happened yesterday.
Lai Jiyun saw all this clearly in the inner room. Except for Le Yiyang, the others in the audience were all frivolous and rough men in the world. Lai Jiyun kept staring at Le Yiyang, and she couldn't help but feel love in her heart.
