Chapter 27 Straight to the point
Li Longji agreed to the battle between Benbo Taibao and the Nine Heavens Xuannv, which happened to fall into the Tubo people's wishes. The time was set in two days. The venue was not in Dakong Temple, but in the inner garden of the palace.
Or the emperor considered that this matter could not be made public. If the Nine Heavens Xuannv did not descend to the earth and let the world see that Yang Yuhuan had no magic power, the myth created by the court would be shattered and would have a great impact on the emperor's reputation, so it would simply be held in the open space in front of the Zhenguan Hall of the Palace.
The number of people watching the ceremony is strictly limited. Theoretically, even princes and ministers are not allowed to enter and watch. The venue will be surrounded by palace guards, with only a few Taoist priests who protect the law.
When Li Linfu mentioned the guardians, he would inevitably add the names of Wu Zun and Master and disciple Yang Yun. After all, in the Taoist priest world of the Tang Dynasty, these two are recognized as having high magic power.
In this way, even if the battle is carried out in the palace, Yang Yun can still witness it and help plan, but the trouble is that he cannot bring a few female disciples into the court... If he really wants to help Yang Yuhuan complete the feat of descending to earth again, he must form an echo inside and outside the palace.
This requires careful arrangement of Yang Yun.
The next morning, Zhang Gao took his daughter Zhang Jingyan to Yang Yun's mansion to "apprentice" and only Li Qingguan was walking with the father and daughter. The three of them seemed very low-key and obviously didn't want to be known to outsiders.
Zhang Gao was seriously injured yesterday and was able to move freely after one day. On the surface, he was completely cured, which surprised Yang Yun.
However, when Yang Yun saw Zhang Gao and carefully investigated the other party's condition, he found that Zhang Gao's injuries had not healed much. Perhaps Zhang Gao had great tolerance for pain, so he could come and visit calmly.
"Fellow Daoist Yang, I hope you don't dislike me and take the dog's son as your disciple."
Zhang Gao and Yang Yun sat at the table and said with a smile.
At this time, except for the three people visiting in the main hall, only Wu Yuan was obviously shocked when Wu Yuan heard this.
The legitimate son of the head of the famous Taoist sect of the Tang Dynasty, and the future heir of the Tianshi Sect, actually wanted to learn Taoism by others? Or would you be under Yang Yun and be a fellow disciple with her?
Yang Yun smiled and said, "Master Zhang, if I say I don't agree, do you still have to persist?"
Zhang Gao smiled and said, "This is naturally. It has always been my wish to find a famous teacher for the dog son. Now it is rare to meet such a famous teacher as a fellow Taoist Yang. How can I let go of it easily? If fellow Taoist Yang disagrees, then I will have to keep coming to trouble you later."
"Okay, I accept the order... the young master is his disciple, but when she enters my master's sect, everything must be practiced according to the rules of my master. If there is any conflict with what she originally learned, it must be corrected in time."
Yang Yun got a vaccination first.
Zhang Gao said: "This is naturally. Since she has been under the name of fellow Taoist Yang, everything will be controlled by fellow Taoist Yang. Even my father will draw a clear line with her... Jingyan, come here, from now on, you will no longer be my disciple. You only have one master, and that is the Taoist Yang in front of you."
Zhang Jingyan was very reluctant.
He practiced well under his father's name. As a real person in the future, even if he cannot reveal his daughter's identity, he will definitely be like a star supporting the moon. Now he is going to change to someone else's name. Moreover, this person has "harmed" her father and disliked her. How can she convince her?
But the problem is that now her father insists on doing this, and she doesn't know how to refuse, and Zhang Gao has no intention of discussing with her. He has already decided on the matter if he brings her here, unless Yang Yun insists on disagreeing.
Now Yang Yun agreed that her fate is no longer under her control.
"I have seen the master." Zhang Jingyan bowed to Yang Yun, looking quite embarrassed, and his reluctance and shame on his face were clearly expressed.
Yang Yun nodded with a smile, and the bento was to expose the matter of becoming a disciple.
But Zhang Gao was not satisfied with this and shouted with a stern face: "How can you be so sloppy when you become a disciple? What kind of etiquette should you be? Can you remind you of your father?"
It means that it is not enough to bow to Yang Yun just to bow and bow to him, and he also has to kneel down to pour tea and kowtow to become a disciple.
This is even more unacceptable to Zhang Jingyan.
Zhang Gao handed the teacup in front of him to Li Qingguan, and then handed it to Zhang Jingyan. Zhang Jingyan held the teacup and gritted his teeth for a long time before kneeling down, lowered his head and served the teacup in front of Yang Yun.
"Please have tea for the master." Zhang Jingyan said.
Yang Yun nodded with a smile, took the teacup, took a sip, and then placed it on the table.
Then Zhang Jingyan bowed respectfully to Yang Yun three times, which was the completion of the apprenticeship ceremony.
Wu Yuan, who was watching all this next to him, was in a thrilling mood.
It was not so troublesome for her to become a disciple at the beginning, and she didn't say she would kowtow to Yang Yun or anything. However, she thought that she was a woman, about the same age as Yang Yun, but she was always different from each other. In addition, she was only temporarily under Yang Yun's sect for a while, and the impact of things in front of her on her became weaker.
"After the apprenticeship, I will give the dog son to fellow Daoist Yang to give some advice." Zhang Gao bowed to Yang Yun.
Being a teacher for life will be a father. This is a kind of expectation of a father for his daughter’s teacher.
Yang Yun nodded with a smile and said to Wu Yuan next to him: "Take your junior brother in and place it first, and I will go to the backyard to arrange it."
"Um!?"
Wu Yuan was a little confused.
Wu Yuan was his daughter's house, so he asked her to take a strange man into the backyard and arranged for the man to move in. This would be a lot of inconvenience.
It can be seen that Yang Yun was determined, so she could only lower her head and responded to "yes", and then led the way forward and took Zhang Jingyan to the inner courtyard.
Zhang Gao waved his hand to Li Qingguan: "Please wait outside, I have something to say to fellow Daoist Yang."
Li Qingguan was very aware of things. After saluting, he went to the gate of the main courtyard, and did not disturb Zhang Gao and Yang Yun to talk alone.
...
...
"Fellow Daoist Yang already knows the matter of the court asking the Jiutian Xuannv to fight with the Tubo National Master?" Zhang Gao and Yang Yun were alone and told the matter directly.
Yang Yun nodded: "Yesterday someone came to pass a message to inform him of this, and said that I would let me enter the palace to assist the guardians, so that the Tubo national master would not harm the Nine Heavens Xuannv."
Zhang Gao asked cautiously: "Then let me ask first, this Nine Heavens Xuannv... is a sibling relationship with fellow Daoist Yang, is there any reason? In fact, Fellow Daoist Yang doesn't need to hide it. I will notice something different that day... What's more, I will enter the palace to protect the Dharma tomorrow."
Zhang Gao is an old fox. Now he tells Yang Yun the biggest secret of the Tianshi Sect and entrusts his daughter to Yang Yun. He brings each other closer together. The next step is to find out Yang Yun’s “secret”.
Yang Yun has the biggest secret, in addition to the true identity and origin of Wu Zun, it is the incident of the Nine Heavens Xuannv descending to the earth. Zhang Gao knew that Yang Yun had great magical powers and also knew that Yang Yun had a group of female disciples with extraordinary abilities, so of course he would also guess that this matter was fabricated by Yang Yun.
But this is always just suspicion and cannot be accurate, because he can also realize that Yang Yuhuan is not that simple, after all, Yang Yuhuan also has superpowers.
Yang Yun smiled and said, "Master Zhang's words are very puzzled. What is the reason? What is the difference?"
Zhang Gao shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly. Yang Yun refused to say it directly, so he could only continue to bury his doubts. Now he has the right to ask Yang Yun, and the initiative is not with him.
Besides, no matter whether the Nine Heavens Xuannv descended to earth was true or false, it would be fine. The emperor believed it deeply. Yang Yun refused to reveal it. In fact, he was also taking on the possible consequences of this incident alone and did not want to involve outsiders.
"Master Ling will also enter the palace?" Zhang Gao asked.
Yang Yun smiled and said, "You said Songmei? He will go together, but he can only join in the fun."
Zhang Gao nodded, understanding that the real Wu Zun would not show up, and it seemed that a big stone was put down in his heart.
"Then will your enrollment of disciples have an impact on Master Ling... and the people in your sect?"
Zhang Gao was suspicious.
Although he has sent his daughter to Yang Yun's sect now, Yang Yun is not the venerable sect leader. If Yang Yun's master disagreed with this or has other plans, wouldn't he disrupt his plan?
Yang Yun smiled indifferently at this and said, "Don't worry about the entry of a daughter, and the family master will not interfere with such things... Speaking of which, I have not seen the family master for many years. It is unknown whether I will meet in the future."
"oh."
Zhang Gao nodded.
After all, Zhang Gao is the direct descendant of the Tianshi Sect and has been passed down from generation to generation. He doesn't know much about wild cultivators like Yang Yun. Obviously, the concept of sect in Master Yang Yun's sect is very weak. After teaching his disciples, he can let them develop, and even find a fake master to come out without any hindrance...
These are all from Yang Yun's narration and Zhang Gao's own understanding. Even if Zhang Gao still has doubts, he is always an open-minded person and has a strong tolerance for all things in the world, especially his understanding of Taoist fellow students is deeper.
This is also the foundation of the Thousand Years of Sect.
...
...
Then Yang Yun and Zhang Gao had a brief conversation about protecting the Dharma in the palace tomorrow.
When Zhang Gao found that Yang Yun was not too nervous about this and did not need his assistance from the side, he immediately understood something. Obviously, Yang Yun didn't want him to be involved, so he said, "See you next door tomorrow in Luoyang Palace", stood up and bowed and said goodbye.
Yang Yun sent him to the door and watched him and Li Qingguan leave.
Zhang Gao walked out of Shanglinfang, and Li Qingguan said reluctantly: "Mr. Nephew, you just feel at ease to hand over... Jingyan to that person? He is a man, facing Jingyan...ah!"
As an elder who grew up watching Zhang Jingyan, and even Zhang Jingyan's ancestors, Li Qingguan did not support Zhang Gao's actions very much. He felt that Zhang Gao's actions would be harmful to his master's appearance and handing over the legitimate successor to someone else's disciple, wouldn't it mean to admit to outsiders that his master's disciple is not good?
Zhang Gao's face was full of emotion and said, "Uncle Master has taught me since I was a child that I should think about everything in a good way and not be too narrow when considering the layout."
"You...this..."
Li Qingguan was very angry when he heard Zhang Gao's words. Everyone would say Dayi Lingran's words, but in fact it was boiled water and had no nutrition at all!
Zhang Gao continued: "Outsiders think that our master sect is glamorous, with millions of believers, and branches in all the world. He is jealous of the world's Taoist sect. But can't you feel the hidden crisis in it in the master sect? If Jingyan's identity is exposed, he is qualified to inherit the sect?"
