Chapter 94 Director and Actor
Xian Yuxiang, whose courtesy name was Zhongtong, was born in Yuyang County, Jizhou. When he was young, he moved with his father to Pengzhou, West Road, Shannan. He was a famous figure in the Tang Dynasty. Although he was a Jinshi, he had little talent. His greatest ability was to curry favor with Yang Guozhong. Later, he relied on Yang Guozhong to be appointed as the governor of Jiannan, which led to the defeat in the Nanzhao campaign.
Bai Juyi once satirized in "The Manzi Dynasty: The Generals and the Generals are arrogant and Prepare for the Territory": "Xian Yu Zhongtong has 60,000 soldiers, and the entire army has been destroyed after a battle of conquering the Manchus. To this day, the bank of Xier River has arrow holes and knife marks all over the dead bones."
Xianyu Xiang is a representative figure of the rampant demons in the imperial court during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty.
But Yang Yun had no prejudice against this person. He came to the Tang Dynasty for a long time and did not really see many celebrities, so few Yu Zhongtong counted one.
Yang Yun looked at Xian Yuxiang's outfit and couldn't help but think: "How did Xian Yu Zhongtong become a Taoist priest? If you remember correctly, he should be the new Jinshi from last year. Why didn't he be an official in Chang'an and come to Chengdu?"
Gongsun Jian asked: "Is Taoist Master a member of the Xianyu family in the new policy of Pengzhou?"
“That’s right.”
Xianyuxiang responded with a smile.
"It turns out that the Taoist priest came from a famous family." Gongsun Jian said casually.
Gongsun Jian was an aide to the Jiedushi's family and had a lot of knowledge about the wealthy families in Shu.
The new policy of Pengzhou was the later generations of Yilong, Nanchong. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, in order to avoid the separatist situation of Shu, Bashu was divided into two, forcibly put together the east side of Bashu and southern Shaanxi, and established Shannan West Road, and the capital was set up in Xingyuan Prefecture, which is the later generations of Hanzhong, Shaanxi.
Yizhou is not far from Pengzhou, and the surname Xianyu is very rare, so Gongsun Jian quickly remembered the Xianyu family.
Fa Ling said: "No matter where your master comes from, can you tell who is on the stage today? What are you doing today?"
Xianyu Xiangxiao said, "Even if you don't know me, you will understand the pros and cons of it after watching it for a long time... Isn't he a member of the Tianshi Taoist Sect? I studied under the Dongting Immortal and happened to see the pros and cons of the Tianshi Taoist!"
Xianyu stepped onto the high platform from the trail with a few steps. He was extremely agile. After standing still, he pulled out the peach wood sword he carried and pointed at Li Qingguan from a distance: "Master Li, I am not polite. I will see the truth under my hands... I want to establish prestige for the Dongting faction."
Li Qingguan, who had just asked the Taoist boy to bandage his palm, saw that he was not good and was very anxious.
Not to mention whether the fat Taoist priest on the opposite side really has magical powers, he could not handle it even if he had another Qinghe who deceived the world and had a reputation. Li Qingguan was exhausted in his previous battles, and his pressure increased sharply when facing Xian Yu Zhongtong.
"What are you talking about? Take action."
Li Qingguan said with a tough bullet.
Xianyu said with a smile: "You are a senior expert, so you can take action first. As a junior, I just want to take the initiative."
When the people in the audience heard this, they couldn't help but sigh: "The disciples of Dongting Immortals are extraordinary. Seeing that Old Man Li is old and doesn't want to bully her, they actually counterattacked her! Without real skills, who dares to say such big words?"
Xian Yuxiang and Li Qingguan were stunning, but they didn't take action for a long time, as if they were looking for opportunities.
Songmei looked at it for a while, and with a look of anxiety, she turned to Yang Yun, "Good disciple, I am here to establish my authority. Now you come back and forth on the stage, so I will watch from below?"
Yang Yun asked, "Do you think you can beat Li Qingguan with the ability?"
"Even if you can't fight, aren't you still there?" Songmei smiled apologized.
Yang Yun said angrily: "Even if we can fight, there is no direct conflict with Tianshidao now. We should be consistent in dealing with Qingyang Palace. Otherwise, even if you kill all directions on the stage, you will still be at the mercy of Qingyang Palace when you look back?"
"well!"
Songmei sighed unwillingly and continued to look at the stage.
Yang Yun followed the show and Wang Ji came over and asked, "Master, who do you think can win the two of these on stage? Master Li saw that he had real skills. As for this Xianyuxiang... he is not an ordinary person."
Yang Yun thought to himself, what is this and what? The two scammers don’t fight on the stage, and they can’t figure out the details of each other’s background. Do you really think it’s a duel for masters? He immediately said, “Continue to watch, don’t ask.”
"Hey."
Wang Ji continued to look at the stage with eager eyes, afraid that he would miss the details of the battle between the two sides.
...
...
Neither Xian Yuxiang nor Li Qingguan took action, and Yang Yun couldn't even get involved if he wanted to help.
Unlike Yang Yun's past eagerness to show his face to establish his prestige, Yang Yun will not let himself be the target of public criticism this time.
"You guys are taking action. Even if you bluff, I can make the scene full of it for you. Who made me want you to become an immortal in the eyes of everyone and make it easier for me to leave Yizhou? The more you are, the less anyone noticed me, a outdated little person, and Wang Yu's attention will be diverted."
Since Yang Yun came to Qingyang Palace, he has been extremely low-key. He wants to stand out and ask Songmei to go. The purpose is the same as the reason why he asked Songmei to be a fake master, diverting his attention and allowing him to leave.
At this Dharma Assembly, Li Qingguan first and Xianyuxiang later. The higher the two of them acted, the happier Yang Yun was. As the director, he was only responsible for creating enough sound and light effects in the audience.
As long as the two "actors" on the stage are not exposed, the play will continue to be performed.
Li Qingguan stared at Xian Yuxiang for a long time, and his heart was pounding: "The previous few times I had some magic tricks for some reason and knocked my opponent off the platform. Could it be that it was God's help? But my ability is sometimes powerful and sometimes not. If this person is close, even if he compares brute force, I will not be his opponent! No, I will gesture first and scare him before talking!"
"Okay, since you don't want to take action first, I'm not polite!" Li Qingguan finished speaking, raised his hands to his chest, as if he was in luck, then closed his palms and pushed forward.
"call……"
There seemed to be a stream of air flowing towards Xianyuxiang.
Xianyuxiang's face changed, and the other party actually exerted force from the air, which was a bit beyond his expectations. In a hurry, he waved his left hand and walked forward with his peach wood sword in his right hand.
"Shit..."
There seemed to be a surging air in the air.
Immediately, the two airflows collided violently in the middle of the platform, making a loud "boom". The two of them were more than three meters apart, but they seemed to be affected by the other's airflow. They took a few steps back and stood still.
"Wow!"
The people in the audience were blinded.
This is the duel of experts!
This is the real battle!
You can hurt the enemy invisibly, but you are the master among the masters!
In the past, I have seen scammers who are crowing and robbing!
The competition in front of you makes people feel ashamed!
Gongsun Jian and Fa Ling were shocked when they saw this scene. They really didn't expect that both sides actually had "immortal power", and seemed to have evenly matched.
Gongsun Jian shouted: "Master Xianyu, take action quickly and don't give him a chance to breathe!"
"Master Li, the opponent's practice is still shallow, so you should take advantage of the victory to pursue it!" Tianshi said that someone reminded Li Qingguan here.
Only the two of them on the high platform know that they are suffering.
He obviously knows nothing, but just put on a stance, and he actually looks like he looks. He didn't understand what happened just now, and he was still chasing him by taking advantage of the victory?
What kind of pursuit method?
Xianyu churned the blood of the qi and blood. The previous force of the collision and rebound of the air waves caused him to suffer a little "internal injury", and his breathing was very uncomfortable. He took a few breaths and bowed with his fists: "Master Li is so cultivating, I admire him! I admire him!"
"You're not bad either."
Li Qingguan knew that he was not capable of fighting, but could not admit defeat, so he said pretending to behave.
Gongsun Jian urged: "What are you talking about? Take action!"
Xianyuxiang ignored the peach wood sword and returned it to the sheath, bowed and said, "The intention of the family teacher is to only let me establish my authority, but not to hurt others. Moreover, with my cultivation, I know that I cannot beat my predecessors, so... I can only stop first."
Xian Yuxiang seemed heroic, but in fact he was very cunning. He was a Taoist priest for the sake of opportunity and wanted to start from the aspects of Xuanzong Chongdao and get a job. Seeing that the other party really had the ability to hurt people from a distance, although he didn't know why the other party thought he had this ability, he knew that if he continued to fight, he would definitely lose, so he immediately found a reason to step down.
Fa Ling asked with a dark face: "Why have you admitted defeat yet?"
"I have not admitted defeat, but I just don't know the difference, and I can barely get a draw... What does Master Li think?" Xian Yu looked at Li Qingguan and asked in a consulting tone.
Xian Yu Xiang said, "Even if this old Taoist priest is capable, after the previous competitions, he should have exhausted his energy, right? He will definitely not really kill me, unless the Dongting Immortal has a marriage with him!"
When Li Qing watched the other party, he didn't want to compete, and he felt so glad that he was so glad that he thought to himself: "If you continue to compete, it may only take one round to defeat me. It seems that the disciples of Dongting Immortal are quite dignified."
Li Qingguan stroked his beard and smiled, "What this fellow Taoist said is true. You and I have not really decided the outcome. It is better to leave it to the competition in the future."
Xianyu Xiang said: "According to Master Li's seniority, I should fight with my family master. I don't have that qualification."
"Okay, haha!" Li Qingguan nodded and laughed.
The two sides ended the "fight" in a friendly atmosphere, with just one move, evenly matched, and then Xianyuxiang walked off the platform.
Fa Ling was furious.
I finally found a master to go on stage, but after only one round, I stopped. Li Qingguan was still the one who guarded the beating on the stage! This means that people have to be sent to attack the beating, but Wu Yuan is not, who can do it?
Fa Ling looked around and no one could be used as a big deal. Just when he was in a dilemma, Gongsun Jian next to him said, "It's already noon, so why not eat lunch first and then fight... What do you think?"
"That's what it means."
The Taoist priests present all agreed.
Li Qingguan also agreed to have a meal first and then fight.
Although he did not really consume "mana" in the battle just now, he consumed a lot of energy. With his age, acting in this hot summer requires a lot of physical energy. He was sweating profusely and even breathing rapidly. Moreover, he needed to find a place to digest what happened just now, so he agreed with Gongsun Jian's proposal.
...
...
As the organizer of the Dharma Assembly, Qingyang Palace provided food for the attending Taoist priests.
Taoist priests basically eat vegetarian food, but some eat meat. There are also huge differences in their practice methods based on different factions.
The group walked towards the yard where the tables were prepared next door. Li Qingguan and others did not stay for a long time. Instead, Gongsun Jian came over to say hello to Yang Yun and his disciples.
After a brief greeting, Gongsun Jian said: "The True Man Wu Zun has never been concerned about the world. Today is a dispute over the Daotong of Jiannan. Why should the True Man fall into the quagmire?"
Songmei said: "I don't know what you mean..."
Gongsun Jian looked at Yang Yun, and it was obvious that the resentment was still there. However, Qinghe had lost his reputation, so he no longer kept pressing on Qinghe and whispered: "The real person is a guest at the Jieshi Mansion. You should follow the Jieshi Mansion in your work. You are right?"
Songmei did not say anything, and Yang Yun asked with a smile: "What do you mean... let my master help you deal with Taoist Li of Tianshidao, right?"
Gongsun Jian did not answer Yang Yun's question positively, and said righteously: "Tianshi Dao has always regarded himself as the orthodox Taoist sect, and does not take other sects seriously. He is also noble and arrogant, and does not even obey the orders of the generals. It is considered polite to the court not to classify it as evil demons and heretics. He also has to regard them as orthodox and obey their distributors. Who can convince the Taoist cultivators in the world?"
