Nightwatcher Chapter 61: High-profile admission
"This is my daughter!"
My aunt frowned, picked up Ling Yin and placed it on her legs.
"Isn't she going to follow me?" Aunty was a little unhappy.
Where it’s up to you, she looked completely irrelevant to you... The old aunt’s face was slightly stiff with a light smile, and then recovered instantly, smiling gently and said:
"A closer look, the eyebrows really look a little bit like, my eyes are clumsy."
Well, my eyes are like that of the coachman outside.
No words on the way.
Xu Pingzhi drove a horse-drawn carriage to the vicinity of the Star Observatory. He first heard a noisy sound, turned the street, and saw a long crowd.
He glanced roughly, and as far as the crowd he saw, there were only one or two thousand. And this is only a small part of the people. You can imagine how many people radiate from all directions with the star-gazing building as the center. That is a shocking number.
"This is more lively than the Spring Festival..." Xu Pingzhi stopped the horse's rein and parked the carriage outside.
"Why did you stop?" In the carriage, an aunt's voice came.
"There is no road ahead, it's all people." Xu Pingzhi explained: "Let's get off here."
My aunt lifted the window and got out of the car with her husband's support. Xu Lingyue got out of the carriage with her father's support. Xiao Douding was hugged by Xu Pingzhi.
The old aunt frowned. She usually has a maid to greet her on a wooden bench when she gets on and off the carriage, and she feels a little uncomfortable now.
Fortunately, the carriage is simple and the bottom of the carriage is not high from the ground. Unlike her luxurious carriage made of golden nanmu, the carriage can be as high as the waist.
She jumped out of the carriage easily.
Xu Pingzhi beckoned and called a guard at the side of the street, and said: "Take care of the carriage."
While speaking, he showed his sword guard.
The young Mitoe respectfully promised.
Xu Pingzhi walked around the crowd with his wife and children, and walked towards the passage cleared by the Forbidden Army. On both sides of the passage was filled with the Forbidden Army, blocking the people, forming a "safe passage" specially for dignitaries.
At the intersection of the passage, two imperial soldiers staggered their spears and stopped Xu Pingzhi and his group.
Xu Pingzhi took out the waist card given by Xu Qi'an, the imperial army glanced at it and let it go.
"Ning Yan's status is getting higher and higher now," her aunt said with joy: "Master, I never dreamed that I would sit with the dignitaries of the capital."
Xu Xinnian couldn't help but lemon, hummed: "Mother, you will become the madam to impinge in the future."
Xu Pingzhi backhanded a backstab: "You first think about how to stay in the capital."
Xu New Year suddenly wilted.
According to the meaning of the academy, it is to find a way to let him go to Qingzhou, away from the capital, and show his grand plans.
But Xu Xinnian doesn't want to go. Going to Qingzhou means staying away from his parents, elder brother and sisters. If the three-year term expires and he cannot return to the capital, he will have to work in another place for another three years.
Three years and three years, I can only see my family when I return to Beijing to report on work.
Of course, there is another reason. If he can't enter the Imperial Academy, he will basically stop the cabinet.
Daddy's "My son resigns from the old and has the capital of the first assistant" is really empty talk.
After walking through the "safe passage", the family looked up and saw the huge officialdom, with many pergola erected. Civil officials, military commanders, and nobles sat in their respective areas in an orderly and distinct manner.
In addition, there are many noble ladies and daughters, who basically drag their families to watch the fight.
For these noble ladies, the face of Dafeng is second, watching the excitement is the most important thing.
Xu Pingzhi took his wife and children to the area where the Dagengren's yamen was located while scanning. The main seat was dressed in blue clothes with white temples.
There are golden gongs on both sides of him. Behind the golden gong is a silver gong, and the copper gong is arranged to be on duty, and is not eligible to stay in the pergola to watch the show.
Xu Pingzhi brought his wife and children closer, arched his hands, and quickly took his wife and children and the strange woman into the seat.
The well-known Wei Yuan and Jin Luo ignored him, which made Xu Ershu relieved to be a little transparent.
The old aunt is also relieved, it's nice to be a little transparent.
...........
Of these pergola, the most luxuriously built is a resting table wrapped in yellow silk cloth. There are tables at the bottom of the tent, and members of the royal family and clan members sit by the table.
The Queen and Concubine Chen, who were almost shot out in the harem, also came. Everyone laughed at Yan Yan. They seemed to have always been sisters of harmony, without any nastyness.
The four princesses arrived together, Huaiqing was sitting in the first place, and the frame was sitting beside her.
Among the princes, the prince is still in confinement and cannot come out, and the rest of the princes are here.
As far as the royal family is concerned, this battle is not only a lively event, but also the face of the court and the face of the royal family.
"Where is Xu Qi'an? Why didn't he come out? Can he fight the bald donkeys? How do the bald donkeys fight..."
Lin'an was chatting endlessly. Shui Lingling's peachy eyes looked around, and she was a little discouraged when she didn't see her dog minion.
"Hang!"
The Seventh Prince shook his head, "Then Xu Qi'an is a martial artist, how can he fight Buddhism? Besides, with his subtle cultivation skills, can he really deal with it?"
The three princes echoed with a smile: "Unless Buddhism compares poetry with him."
The two princesses and the princes couldn't help laughing.
Lin'an was furious, swept over his brother and sister fiercely, and cursed: "You are glad that he lost? Do you want this palace to cast a statue of Buddha for no one of you?"
The third princess frowned and said: "We're just talking about it, Lin'an, what are you doing?"
The other princes frowned.
Since the Fu concubine case, Lin'an has become irritable, being rude to their brothers and sisters, and speaking more and more aggressively.
Huai Qing said lightly: "If it is a Taoist fighting method, naturally the one who is strong will win, and the other systems are also the same. But Buddhism is different. Buddhism pays attention to enlightenment, the mind of the Buddha, and the power of Zen.
"Xu Qi'an is indeed only a seventh-rank martial artist. There are many people whose cultivation base is stronger than him. What's the use of high cultivation base? No matter how high it is, there is a degree of Erohangao?"
Huaiqing's words always make people speechless and unable to refute.
The princes and princesses stopped talking.
...........
In the immediate vicinity of the pergola of the clan family, Shoufu Wang Zhenwen took a sip of the wine and noticed that his daughter's eyes had been looking at the area where the Dagengren Yamen was.
He frowned and asked: "Muer, what are you looking at?"
Miss Wang retracted her gaze and responded with a small smile: "This is the first time that my daughter has seen the famous Wei Gong, she is really extraordinary."
After that, she glanced at some handsome little brother from the corner of her eye.
"By the way, why didn't I see your majesty." Miss Wang calmly changed the subject, distracting her father.
Wang Shoufu looked sideways at the imperial shed, and smiled: "The two in the palace are full of enthusiasm. Your Majesty is annoying and doesn’t want to come down. You should be overlooking the Bagua Terrace at this moment."
Miss Wang said "Oh", and then asked: "Father, why did the Western Regions mission enter Beijing this time? This unreasonable proposal of fighting is really puzzling."
The mission will not come just as it says, it must have a purpose, and the Buddhist monastic actions these days have made people realize that this time the Western Region missions came to Beijing and the visitors were unkind.
"It may be related to the Sangbo case." Wang Shoufu said lightly.
Miss Wang frowned, and extracted two pieces of information from her father's answer. First, she was not very clear about her father as the first assistant. Second, the Sangbo case seems to hide a deeper inside story.
As soon as I wanted to ask, Wang Shoufu waved his hand impatiently: "You are a daughter, don't worry about the court affairs, the ghost and cleverness in the stomach, let's use it on her husband in the future."
Miss Wang curled her lips and stopped talking. While her father didn't care, she turned her gaze to the government office.
When the fighting is over, I will hold a literary meeting in the house... she thought to herself.
On the other side, Xu Pingzhi, based on his years of experience in the capital, swept through the pergola one by one and saw the big people he recognized, of course, more big people he didn't know.
However, with Huangpeng as the core, the closer the distance, the higher the status.
Suddenly there is the illusion of being on the stage of power in the capital, and all this is brought about by Ning Yan... After this battle, if Ning Yan wins, he will be famous in the capital. Dafeng... If he loses, I am afraid that he will be cast aside for a long time. If he writes another sum in the history books, he will have to recite his reputation.
Thinking of this, Xu Ershu felt very complicated.
"Master, look at that princess, is it the one who came to worship Ning Yan that day?" The aunt was also watching the scene, and recognized the cold and bright princess Huaiqing.
Xu Pingzhi said "um", which was regarded as a response to his wife.
The aunt continued: "The princess in the red dress next to her is also very handsome, that is... her eyes seem to catch people, and she is not very serious."
Xu Pingzhi was taken aback, and whispered: "Nonsense, don't talk about the princess on this occasion, do you want to copy everything?"
Auntie shut up quickly.
"What can't be said? Dafeng royal family doesn't have a good thing." The old aunt said lightly.
We don't know you, so you can go away........Xu Xinan feels slanderous.
Xu Pingzhi exhaled and forced himself to ignore the woman, admonishing his wife and children: "On such occasions, you must watch more, listen more and speak less, and do nothing, so nothing can be wrong... .... Ringtone?!"
The word "ring tone" was shouted, and the voice was changed.
I don’t know when, Xu Lingyin walked in front of the **** in Tsing Yi with her short legs. She held her face up, pointed to the food on the table, and said with longing:
"Uncle, can I eat your food?"
When Xu Pingzhi saw this scene, the numbness of the tail vertebra rushed to Tianlinggai.
The golden gongs around Wei Yuan frowned at the same time, and they said in their hearts that this was a juvenile boy, so ignorant of etiquette.
Yang Kaitai, who had worshipped Xu Qi'an, recognized Xiaodouding, and hurriedly said: "Wei Gong, this is Xu Ningyan's younger sister."
The golden gongs looked at Xu Lingyin with gentle eyes, and said in their hearts that this child is not afraid of life, and if he is full of courage, he will become a great weapon.
Wei Yuan twisted a piece of candied fruit and passed it.
Xu Lingyin took it, and swallowed it in a few mouthfuls.
"Candied fruit is not eaten like this. The longer you hold it in your mouth, the longer the sweetness will last." Wei Yuan smiled.
"When the sweetness is over, the candied fruit will be eaten by others." Xu Lingyin raised her brows:
"As long as I keep eating, it will remain sweet...Uncle, I still want to eat."
Wei Yuan smiled and fed some candied fruit. Xu Lingyin ate for a while, and said embarrassedly: "Why don't you eat it, uncle."
Wei Yuan smiled and shook his head.
"You don't eat them yourself," Xu Lingyin blinked with innocent and clear eyes, and cautiously tentatively said: "Uncle don't eat, I ate them all."
"Can you eat it all?" Wei Yuan smiled, glanced at Xu Lingyin's belly, and then looked at the table full of fruits, candied fruit and top-quality pastries.
"Wei, Wei Gong..."
Xu Pingzhi bit his scalp and came over, bowed, trying to keep her voice from trembling: "The little girl is stubborn, don't be familiar with her."
Wei Yuan raised his sleeves, picked up a yellow-orange pear and handed it to Xu Lingyin.
Jiang Luzhong saw this and smiled: "Wei Gong talks with the child, you can go back."
Xu Pingzhi glanced at Xiaodouding, then at Wei Yuan, who regarded himself as nothing, and turned away helplessly.
"Father, what are you afraid of? The eldest brother is a silver gong, who is highly appreciated by Wei Gong, and there will be nothing wrong with the ring tone." Xu Erlang said.
Xu Pingzhi sighed.
Young people don’t understand Wei Yuan’s terrible things. People who have experienced the battle of Shanhaiguan don’t think Wei Yuan is an amiable person.
Time slowly passed, and Wei Yuan was eating less and less food before him. He glanced at Xu Lingyin's belly, frowned, and raised his hand to press her head.
Then, he pinched all over the girl for a long time.
"It's a pity." Wei Yuan said regretfully.
"Foster father, what's the matter?" Yang Yan asked.
"This child has strong bones and strong spirits, and has a deep foundation, but his muscles and bones are too flexible to practice martial arts." Wei Yuan shook his head.
"No wonder that she can eat so well, this female doll is a rice bowl." Nangong Qianrou laughed.
"tuituitui..." Xu Lingyin spit at him, her little eyebrows raised: "You are a bad guy."
She still remembers this beautiful sister who came to the house and lied to others that her eldest brother was dead, causing her father and mother to cry for a long time.
Nangong Qianrou let out a cold snort, took the handkerchief into her arms, and wiped the saliva on her trouser legs.
Unconsciously, when the time came, Master Duer, who was meditating cross-legged under the pergola, opened his eyes and said loudly, "Jianzheng, you know Sumi mustard."
"Small trick!"
From above the nine heavens, there was a sneer from Jian Zheng.
Present, no matter the high-ranking officials or the people outside, everyone is energetic and emotional.
The main show has begun!
I saw Master Duer take out a golden bowl from his sleeve and gently throw it out.
"Boom!"
The golden bowl weighed more than a thousand catties, and the stone slab was cracked and deeply embedded in the ground.
A pure golden light rises from the bowl and spreads high above the sky, revealing a high mountain, and the winding stone steps extend to the end of the forest.
On the top of the mountain is a temple vaguely.
"Fairy means..." Auntie was stunned, dumbfounded.
Except for the Wufu who was in his cultivation, no ordinary people who saw this scene could manage their expressions, and there was an uproar.
"Foster father, what is Sumi mustard seed?" Nangong Qianrou frowned.
"This is an allusion from Buddhism." Wei Yuan glanced at Xu Lingyin, who turned a blind eye to things around him, and said lightly:
"Sumi Tibetan mustard seeds, mustard seeds Nasumi. Legend has it that the Buddha has a mountain called Mount Xumi. That is his dojo. No matter where he goes, the dojo is there."
Yang Yan remembered the battle of Shanhaiguan 20 years ago, remembered the scene of Buddhist monks transporting the army, and suddenly said: "In the palm of the Buddha country?"
Wei Yuan nodded: "In the golden bowl, there is a mountain hidden."
"Jingsi, you enter the mountain and sit in the second pass." Master Duer ordered.
The Junxiu monk in cyan navy stood up, put his hands together in salute, and then stepped into the golden bowl in front of countless people in full view.
At the next moment, there was a young monk climbing in the high-altitude picture scroll.
He slowly climbed the steps, came to the mountainside, and sat cross-legged.
Spreads of golden light sprinkled from high above and gathered on him. In an instant, his body was covered with a layer of golden light, and the whole person was like casting gold.
...............
"It turns out that there are Sumeru mustard seeds in this world." Xu Qi'an was speechless.
Yang Qianhuan, who turned his back to him, nodded and said: "Xume mustard seeds, also known as the Buddha Kingdom in the palm, but this should be an ownerless world, hidden in a golden bowl.
"If there is a "Buddha Kingdom" with a master, then the victory or defeat lies between the thoughts of its master, which is fairly fair."
Chu Caiwei stuffed a bag of pastries into his arms and said softly: "Xu Ningyan, go, eat on the way up the mountain."
"...Thank you, I'm not hungry." Xu Qi'an declined.
Behind, a group of white-clothed warlocks encouraged: "Go, Young Master Xu, although I don't know why Teacher Jianzheng chose you, the teacher must have his reason."
"It must be triumphant, Mr. Xu."
Can you tell me a triumphant victory? With such a good opportunity, in front of the entire capital, I will pretend this wave...Xu Qi'an patted Yang Qianhuan on the shoulder and said:
"Brother Yang, after today, you will understand what it means to show the sage before people!"
.............
Outside the court, on the roof of a restaurant, the blue-shirted swordsman Chu Yuanzhen and the burly big bald-head Hengyuan stood side by side, looking at the bright golden light of the little monk Jingsi, the champion man gave a "tsk":
"Golden light cast body, this Xumi world has strengthened Jingsi's diamond body. With Xu Ningyan's current strength, it is impossible to cut it off."
Hengyuan feels a bit complicated. It stands to reason that he is a Buddhist disciple and should have been on the Buddhist side. But he was also a Dafeng person, and it was Xu Dashan who played in the battle.
"By the way, what happened last night? Why didn't you receive my letter?" Chu Yuanzhen asked.
"Daoist Jinlian blocked it." Hengyuan said.
This morning, Chu Yuanzhen came to him to "watch the show" with him, and asked about the transfer of the book last night. After the two confessed, they agreed that Dao Jin Lian had blocked the number four.
"I know it was Dao Jinlian who blocked my transmission, but why?" Chu Yuanzhen was puzzled.
"Tao Master Jin Lian didn't want you to tell Xu Qi'an on behalf of Si Tian Jian's fighting law?"
"Oh, do you think it makes sense?" Chu Yuanzhen smiled.
"It makes no sense." Hengyuan shook his head.
"I always think it's not easy." Chu Yuanzhen muttered. He didn't entangle this question, and instead said:
"You stayed at Sanyang Station for three days, did you gain something?"
"The Diamond Sutra cannot be taught easily. Uncle Du'er told me that if you want to see the Diamond Sutra, you can go back to the Western Regions with him and practice three years in Mount Xumi." Hengyuan said.
"Waiting for you to become a Buddhist man from the inside out, will it have nothing to do with Dafeng?" Chu Yuanzhen's mouth provoked a mocking smile.
"Not so," Hengyuan defended: "The Diamond Sutra cannot be cultivated by ordinary people. Don't you wonder, why did Jingsi come forward to challenge instead of others?"
Chu Yuanzhen's heart moved: "In the Western Regions Mission, only Jing Si has completed the Diamond Sutra?"
Hengyuan nodded: "Either you are born with the roots of Buddha and can understand the profound meaning. Or, go to Xumi Mountain to listen to the Dharma, or there is a slight possibility to understand the Diamond Sutra."
Chu Yuanzhen suddenly thought of something. He gave a high-five and was a little annoyed: "In other words, even if Xu Qi'an wins the battle and gets the Diamond Sutra, it is useless?
"Because of a womanizer like Xu Qi'an, there can be no buddha root."
Hengyuan was silent for a moment and nodded slowly.
During the conversation, the two heard Master Du'e say loudly: "This battle is called climbing! Go to the top of the mountain and enter the temple. If you still don't want to convert to Buddhism, I will count as Buddhism losing. Sitian has three times. Opportunity."
Wei Yuan smiled upon hearing this sentence.
"Mountaineering........." Yang Yan muttered: "There must be many difficulties along the way. If you are not careful, you will lose directly."
Duoerrohan stopped speaking and meditated.
In and out of the field, the audience waited for a long time, but they still didn't see Si Tianjian sending someone to fight, and they talked a lot.
"Why didn't Sitian Supervisor move, is it scared?"
"What about the supervisor, the supervisor said something."
"What's the matter? If Sitian Supervisor is scared, why should he agree to the law of fighting? Is he not embarrassed enough to be honored?"
Suddenly, someone shouted in surprise: "Someone has come out from the stargazing building."
In an instant, countless people turned their heads at the same time, looking at the gate of the Star Observatory.
In the lobby on the first floor, a man in a cloak walked out slowly. He was holding a wine jar in his hand, wearing a hood, and his head hanging down, unable to see his face.
The moment the man in the cloak stepped out of the stairs, the low voice of chanting spread throughout the audience, accompanied by Qi, into the ears of everyone.
"At the fifteenth and twenty o'clock in the juvenile, the Qingshan walked with the sword."
The man in the cloak took the second step, and his low voice suddenly became loud and loud: "The Dapeng rises in the same wind in one day, soaring for 90,000 miles."
This........ In those pergola, the civilians stood up unconsciously and cast their eyes on the figure.
The man in the cloak took the third step, single-finger the sky, his voice changed from high to majestic: "The sea to the end, the sky is the shore, and the martial arts is the best I am the peak!"
On and off the court, a martial artist raised his eyebrows with a weird look, and some of the people outside the court even aroused anger.
The man in the cloak took the fourth step and whispered: "He turned to fight for three thousand miles, and he was a millionaire with a sword."
Wei Yuan raised his eyebrows and leaned forward slightly.
The generals, suddenly got up.
The man in the cloak took the fifth step and sighed leisurely: "If God is not born, I will feast on Xu Ning, and the ages of Kyushu are like a long night!"
Xu Xinnian trembled all over, this is the pinnacle of his life, created in frustration~IndoMTL.com~ Big brother is really shameless.
He looked around angrily and saw dull faces. They looked at the cloaked man who was slowly entering the arena, so focused.
I read this poem and was made fun of by my family, but when my eldest brother read this poem, it was highly regarded and admired by all people...Xu New Year thought angrily:
Brother is really shameless.
In annoyance, Xu Xinnian glanced at the woman next to her again. She looked at the man in the cloak, a little lost.
Biaobian looked at the man in the cloak foolishly, as if there was no room for other things in his eyes.
Huaiqing's eyes bloomed with brilliance. For the first time, she felt that this man was so dazzling.
Xu Qi'an did not chant any more poems, carrying the wine jar, step by step, and finally stopped by the golden bowl, then he took off his hood and drank with his head up.
The drink ran along his chin, drenching his clothes, arrogantly.
Suddenly, he threw the wine jar to the ground and laughed wildly in the cracking sound of "cangdang":
"The heroes of the world came out of our generation, and the years are destroyed when they enter the world. In the grand plan of the domineering industry, in the midst of talking and laughing, I can't beat my life."
He leaped into the golden bowl amidst wild laughter.
At this moment, there was silence.
After a long time, suddenly, the noise came, like a sea tide, sweeping the audience.
"Da Feng will win!"
"Da Feng will win!"
This high-profile debut, the emergence of these great works, instantly crushed Buddhism in style and overlooked Buddhism in aura.
I also returned my confidence to the people in the capital.
The civil and military officials nodded slowly, showing their admiration. It turns out that Xu Qi'an's high-profile admission is meaningful.
Sweep away the decline and regroup.

PS: Change first and then change.
At nine o'clock in the morning until now, the big chapter has been delivered, and I am exhausted, and ask for genuine subscription.
