Chapter 4 Unraveling the Book of the Way in Front
A group of five people gathered around the pavilion in front of the thousand zhang rock, Bianqiao sat alone on the stone bench in the center ......
He is about forty years out of the head, clothing expensive, head wearing nine sun scarf, feet a pair of thick-soled high shoes, face white and round fat, hand holding a purple clay teapot slowly sipping, looks like a gentry, rather than serving people steward.
Thousands of feet in front of the rock is crowded, there are people in the distance pointing, but he does not care, around a few slaves are short beat attire, chest and abdomen between the clothes open, face is full of arrogance.
Zhao Ying stood in the distance and watched, cursing Zhang Yan did not know what to do, but also some hidden regrets in the heart, Bianqiao has always been a vicious means to deal with a small named disciple is simply easy, this little thief if killed here would be fine, but the big brother will be counting her not, in case of the body angry again how to do?
She was raised by Zhao Yuan since she was a child, if not for her, Zhao Yuan has long been on the mountain to seek Taoism, will not be delayed for ten years, so her words to Zhao Yuan usually never dare to disobey, this time is also to see Zhao Yuan spit blood, she was anxious and hate under the capricious one time.
But Zhao Ying does not know, Bianqiao looks like a bully, but in fact also know a little bit of the way in and out.
On the one hand, he tried not to offend those who shouldn't be offended, even if there was some conflict, others didn't bother with him for the sake of Hu Sheng Yu's face, on the other hand, he was unscrupulous about bullying and oppressing disciples without backgrounds, and it was because of this that he had the biggest name and the most fierce reputation amongst the many stewards.
"Steward Bian, Zhang Yan is here."
A Daoist child of the Shan Yuan Guan who had been captured to listen to him scowled and looked around, pointing at the tall figure walking in the distance and whispering.
Bianqiao had already waited with some impatience, and when he heard this, he slightly raised his spirits and looked up to casually glance at him, and when he did so, the teapot that he had raised to his lips froze, and he said with some surprise, "That's Zhang Yan?"
He had thought that Zhang Yan was just a poor scholar who didn't know the rules, but he didn't know that the other party's appearance greatly exceeded his expectations.
Zhang Yan today changed into the wide-sleeved robe given to him by Min Lou, he was handsome, not to mention, but also well-proportioned and tall, a head taller than ordinary people, between his eyes austere power, striding towards here, he looked majestic and heroic, intimidating aura.
More Bianqiao surprised, Zhang Yan's face emerges a layer of hidden luster, he often in Hu Sheng Yu side to deal with chores, naturally have insight, a look at know Zhang Yan has not only to the Yuan construction in the "condensation of Yuan show meaning" realm, but also vaguely have stepped into the "Yuan into the real! He also showed signs of stepping into the realm of "Yuancheng into the real".
Bianqiao grinned, secretly annoyed in his heart, I do not know what the person who inquired about the news is doing for food, with this kind of cultivation, would not be an ordinary named disciple?
In fact, Zhang Yan predecessor character dull, on the mountain for three years only know buried hard repair, closed door study etching, never made friends with what fellow, can be said to be inconspicuous, under the time rush, of course, nothing to find out.
According to Bianqiao's original intention, if this Zhang Yan does not have much background, naturally it is to teach a lesson and then cripple him and throw him off the mountain.
In his eyes, a registered disciple is nothing, if not in the way of this is the Good Abyss view, he said down on someone to rush to do, there is no need for him to personally appear, but I did not expect to see, but I think Zhang Yan is not simple.
In addition, Zhang Yan is proficient in etching ......
Generally like this person, not behind the initiated disciples to take care of, that is, the family is prosperous.
The thought of this, Zhang Yan's silhouette in his eyes became profound, but did not dare to make a mistake easily.
However, in the past, he relied on Hu Sheng Yu's name and thought he was also a character, since the scene is spread, it is not possible to retreat in front of many disciples, losing the momentum.
He barely squeezed out a few smiles on his face, sat there and arched his hand at the approaching Zhang Yan, saying, "A certain Bianqiao, usually for the Virtue Cultivation Observatory Mr. Hu Shengyu Hu to take care of the mundane things, this senior brother is Zhang Yan?"
Zhang Yan stood still, his gaze calmly and without waves glanced at Bianqiao and said, "Yes."
Bianqiao had been carefully observing Zhang Yan's demeanor, and seeing his eyes ripple without any movement when he heard Hu Shengyu's name, his heart was more certain of his previous judgment, and he tried a sentence in a seemingly cordial manner, "I wonder how do you address Zhang Yan and the several senior brothers of the Good Abyssal View?"
The "senior brothers" Bianqiao mentioned here naturally referred to the entry disciples of Shan Yuan Guan.
Zhang Yan didn't know what he was thinking, and with a smile on his face, he said, "Naturally, I'm not as close as Bian Qiao and Hu."
Bianqiao's face changed, these words vaguely had the meaning of sarcastically saying that he was a slave, he hated it when someone brought up his origin, he couldn't help but be annoyed, and the smile that was piled up on his face had a few moments of stiffness.
He looked elegant, but after all, he was usually arrogant, and his tone immediately became unkind, and coldly swept Zhang Yan a glance, saying, "I came to ask you, I heard that you interpreted the etchings for my Virtue Cultivation Guan disciples? Is there such a thing?"
Zhang Yan was extremely frank and said, "Yes."
Bianqiao laughed coldly and said, "I also know that you have been on the mountain for three years, how can you not know that there are rules for the disciples of the three temples, and that there are people who have their own specialties for interpreting the Taoist books? Well, today is not difficult with you, you and here to make a vow, from now on, no longer for the three disciples interpretation of Taoist books, I will be on behalf of the brothers to let you off the hook, not to be blamed, you see how?"
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Since Steward Bian opened his mouth, then from now on, I will not interpret the Dao books for the Dexiu Guan disciples."
Bianqiao narrowed his eyes at Zhang Yan and said in a cold voice, "Does Senior Brother truly not understand, or is he just amusing me, Mr. Bian? I'm talking about the disciples of the Three Guan, did you ever hear me?"
Although the lower courtyard is divided into three views, but usually frequent exchanges, if someone from the Dexiu Guan got the Taoist book, and then entrusted in the name of the other two good disciples to go to Zhang Yan to interpret the etchings, then he can still stop it? Wouldn't that be the same as not saying anything at all?
Zhang Yan arched his hand and said indifferently, "In that case, I'm sorry for not being able to comply."
How could he not know the trick here? He purposely said this, this was a tactic of retreating in order to advance, in this way, it became not that I refused to agree to you, it was really you who bullied people too much.
Bianqiao was originally afraid of Zhang Yan behind what people backing, originally thought that everyone backed down a step, not to fall out, I did not think that Zhang Yan do not know good or bad, actually so do not give face.
On second thought, although Zhang Yan also seems to have some roots, but since the destruction of the "rules" in the first place, said to a few brothers there is also their own reasoning, afraid of him why?
Since you do not listen to good words, then I do not blame me for not being merciful, really think I have no way to fix you?
Before he came here, he had prepared, since it is impossible to reconcile, he is ready to on the means.
Bianqiao suddenly laughed twice and said, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, since senior brother is quite knowledgeable in the etchings together, he might as well let us open our eyes, Bian has three books of the Dao here, please instruct senior brother!"
With a wave of his hand, a boy behind him immediately set up a Dao book, Bianqiao tapped his knuckles on the book and said with a smile on his face, "I also know about your rules, Senior Brother Zhang, you can't do without the rice, grain and silver, so I'll ask for Senior Brother Zhang's guidance."
With business on his doorstep, Zhang Yan naturally wouldn't not do it, and he took two steps, stretching out his hand to take the Dao book.
"Slowly."
Bianqiao reached out and pressed his hand on the Dao book, his eyes staring at Zhang Yan as he said, "I'm sincerely asking for guidance, so what would Master Zhang say if he interprets it wrongly or if he can't interpret it?"
Zhang Yan said with a faint expression, "Senior brother can smash my signboard all you want, I will never speak the word Eroded Text again."
Bianqiao let out a heave and shook his head, saying, "Not enough, not enough."
Zhang Yan laughed as well, his hand retracted and he stood up straight, saying, "Then what does Senior Brother think should happen?"
Bianqiao narrowed his eyes and said, "You will disperse your cultivation and leave the mountain, and from now on, you shall not set foot in my Diming Cang Sect's boundaries!"
Because there were many people gathered here, some of the disciples from the three lower houses around them also gradually gathered around, hearing the words, they exclaimed, this is to completely cut off Zhang Yan's path of cultivation ah.
Zhang Yan was surprised, did not expect Bianqiao did not have a seizure before, but now has become a lot tougher.
He is not aware that this is the Bianqiao mansion slave nature, by small profits, fear of adults, just can not eat Zhang Yan background this is not directly hands.
If Zhang Yan lost this time and there is no one to stand up for him, then the natural hard hand does not leave alive, if someone intercedes, if the head of the big words he can also sell a face, by the way, to ask for personal favors. In short, as long as Zhang Yan Taoist book interpretation of errors and omissions, by then is flat or round, are at his mercy rub pinch.
"Senior brother this can also be said, but ......" Zhang Yan was calm, said, "If so, this price is not a district of rice and grain can be offset."
Bianqiao hehehe smiled, in the sleeve fumbled for a while, took out a white jade porcelain bottle on the stone table, "teacher brother seems to have been the construction of Yuan cultivation, this is to and dan, a total of twenty-three in the bottle, each is worth a thousand gold, the teacher brother thought it can ah?"
The surrounding three lower courtyard disciples immediately discussed, looking at the bottle of pills in the eyes are hot intention, but also know that this is not they can get, but in their hearts are cursing, this Bianqiao is obviously just a steward, not much cultivation, and have this kind of good pills, it is simply a pearl of darkness, wasting.
Zhang Yan familiar with the canonical books, of course, know the value of this kind of medicine, not only can the grain, wash the dirty gas, but also can solidify the root of the cultivation, blood circulation, on the cultivator who can easily sit for several days and nights, the key is that there is a price for the market, this is the entry-level disciples can only enjoy the medicine.
There was no need to consider it any further, and he instantly replied back, "May."
Zhao Ying in the crowd watched Zhang Yan agree and couldn't help but skim his lips, this little thief really didn't want to die, couldn't he see that Bianqiao was laying a trap for him to drill into?
Bianqiao arched his hand towards the surroundings and said, "Good, there are a number of masters and brothers here today to be witnesses, lest word get out that I, Bian, am a bully." He was also ruthless in his tactics, taking the first step to block Zhang Yan's path with his words.
Zhang Yan coldly watched Bian Qiao's small action, but he didn't care, sitting down on the stone bench as if no one else was there, picking up the Dao book and flipping through it.
Surrounding the crowd of disciples heard Bianqiao words, bold are leaning up, want to see this Zhang Yan in the end what ability, even dared to put against Bianqiao, Tai'an Guan and Shan Yuan Guan disciples are okay, in the view of the Dexiu Guan disciples, Bianqiao in the mountains over the years can be said to be a domineering, no one dares to control, today there are people who dare to refute the face of Bianqiao, the chest cannot help but be agitated, and even more commanded to accompany the boy to make sure that he went to find to the friends! Some of them even instructed their accompanying Taoist children to make sure to find a good friend, so as not to miss this good show.
