To a certain extent, he had watched Song Yanqing grow up. Song Yanqing had never liked to study, and it just so happened that he was cultivating in the Shangqing Sect. When the Song family forced him to study, Song Yanqing immediately hid in the Shanghai Sect. Thus, he was naturally aware of Song Yanqing's background. With the Song family's background, it wasn't difficult for them to find someone to write a few poems for them.
As soon as he saw the poem in his hand, he was certain that it wasn't written by Song Yanqing. However, the person was already dead, so there was no need to say anything else, much less belittle him in front of outsiders.
But then again, regardless of whether it was a poem or not, he had to hand it to Lu Shengzhong. He was actually able to think of an entry point in the study of literature. At first, he thought that Lu Shengzhong was just fooling him, but now that he thought about it, he was right. Shang Chaozong had so many people, so the use of brush, ink, paper, and inkstone was indispensable. Thus, the angle of attack was inconspicuous and wouldn't easily attract attention. It could be said that it was very crafty, and didn't Lu Shengzhong just wait for it?
"I'm borrowing Song Yanqing's poem to avenge him. This can be considered karma. I hope that Song Yanqing's spirit in heaven will bless me!" Lu Shengzhong sighed, then said to Liu Ziyu, "We can't be too hasty in this matter. With the experts from the Heavenly Jade School here, there's nothing we can do. I hope that Brother Liu can be a little more patient."
Liu Ziyu nodded. "Alright! Everything will go according to Brother Lu's plan! " The reason why his attitude had changed was naturally because he had seen Lu Shengzhong's ability. The fact that someone had come to purchase goods from the outside also proved that Lu Shengzhong's plan was indeed effective.
Lu Shengzhong cupped his hands to thank him for his understanding, then asked, "How many people have come from Brother Liu's side? That way, I'll have an idea when I plan."
Liu Ziyu said, "There's also a Senior Brother and Senior Sister. They're both Golden Core cultivators. When the time comes, they'll naturally show themselves."
Lu Shengzhong sighed inwardly. It was good to have power and influence. In order to avenge a good-for-nothing grandson of the Song family, the Immortal Retaining Sect actually sent out two Golden Core cultivators …
In the villa, under a strong old tree, the sun was warm. Niu Youdao stood there with his sword in one hand. There was a sense of laziness in his posture. It was laziness, but it was not laziness. It was a difference in essence, qi, and spirit. He looked calmly at the group of people who were busy under the ridge.
Beneath the ridge was a piece of barren land. Yuan Gang had instructed the monks of Nanshan Temple to develop it into a vegetable field and was currently teaching the monks how to grow vegetables. The monks of Nanshan Temple knew how to grow vegetables, but it was obvious that Yuan Gang's concept of growing vegetables was more advanced. Niu Youdao suspected that Yuan Gang would one day grow vegetables in a greenhouse.
Along the way, Niu Youdao asked Yuan Gang to collect some seasonings for cooking. Yuan Gang also collected a lot of vegetable seeds, and Canglu County also got someone to get some.
Others might not know, but Niu Youdao knew that Yuan Gang had a bad habit — he liked to grow vegetables wherever he went. Yuan Gang did not like to meditate and cultivate. He liked to do things that were meaningful, such as growing vegetables. At least to Yuan Gang, growing vegetables was more meaningful than meditating and cultivating. Niu Youdao could not argue with him about the value of the two. Everyone had their own views and ideas, and he would not force Yuan Gang to do things he did not like.
Of course, growing vegetables was not a bad habit. Niu Youdao also knew that it was a habit that Yuan Gang had formed in his previous life. The group that Yuan Gang was once a part of had a habit of growing vegetables.
However, growing vegetables required time. From the moment the vegetables were planted to the moment they grew, there was a growth cycle!
Knowing that he was going to leave and cultivate in seclusion, Yuan Gang still brought the monks of Nanshan Temple to grow vegetables. Niu Youdao sighed inwardly. Obviously, Yuan Gang thought that he would have to return. From another perspective, it proved that Yuan Gang did not want to leave this place, which made him feel helpless.
Niu Youdao felt that there was no way to reason with some people's thoughts on certain things. He did not know if it was his problem or someone else's. For example, the group of monks of Nanshan Temple in front of him had done many things in the underworld. As long as they were free, they would not neglect the morning and evening classes of daily temple life. They would strike wooden fish and chant scriptures. They persisted in the morning bell and evening drum of life. It was unknown if it was because of Yuan Fang's long-term indoctrination, but it seemed that everyone was thinking about revitalizing Nanshan Temple. It was like everyone's belief.
They killed and burned while refusing to eat meat! This made Niu Youdao feel incredulous. This bear demon was really f * cking sick. A bear demon actually wanted to serve Buddha wholeheartedly, often opening and closing his mouth to fantasize about building a very beautiful Nanshan Temple, thinking about sculpting a golden body for Buddha.
A bear demon actually pulled a group of monks and kept indoctrinating them not to forget Buddha. It was completely upside down. If this wasn't sick, what was it?
After a long journey, they finally had a break. Once everyone stopped, it seemed that all kinds of problems appeared. There was even a stutterer who had knelt for a few days outside, which was very annoying …
The windows were wide open, and the door was also wide open to show that the man and woman in the room were open and aboveboard. They did not do anything shameful.
In front of the dressing table opposite the window, Niu Youdao sat and watched Shang Shuqing do his hair in the mirror.
Since the first time, this woman would appear at his door punctually every morning. This almost made Niu Youdao misunderstand that the dignified princess liked to do the work of a servant girl.
After a few days, Niu Youdao almost got used to it. He almost got used to thinking that there was a servant girl beside him.
He even suspected that this woman had fallen in love with him. If that was the case, he would reject it. It wasn't that he judged people by their appearance, but you can't look scary. This was really not easy to accept.
However, he knew in his heart that her taking the initiative to please him had nothing to do with whether she liked him or not. It was purely a way to lower herself to keep the guest.
Her good intentions were treated this way by him. This was the annoyance of being able to see clearly. Hence, he pretended to be confused and did not reject her, lest she thought too much.
"Daoye, the preparations are almost done. We can leave for the Mystic Realm tomorrow." Shang Shuqing reminded him.
"Oh!" Niu Youdao said calmly, "Alright! Got it. "
Shang Shuqing was prepared to ask him something, but who knew that the other party's reaction would be so simple. After a moment of silence, he said, "Daoye, your poems are not bad."
Again? Niu Youdao smiled bitterly, "I really don't know how to write any poems."
Shang Shuqing did not argue with him, "Daoye has misunderstood. I have a new poem here and would like to invite Daoye to appreciate it and see how it is written."
Niu Youdao snorted, with a hint of self-mockery, "Then I would like to listen attentively."
Shang Shuqing's hands did not stop. After a while, his voice changed to a gentle tone, "Those who have seen the vast ocean are not water, those who have seen the Mount Wu are not clouds …" After a short pause, he noticed that Niu Youdao's body moved a little. He heard Niu Youdao laughing, "Not bad. Continue!"
Shang Shuqing then started again, "Those who have seen the vast ocean are not water, those who have seen the Mount Wu are not clouds. Looking back from the bushes of flowers, half destined to cultivate the Dao and half destined to be a gentleman … Daoye, how is this poem? "
"Good poem, good poem. Not bad, not bad." Niu Youdao praised greatly and stared at the woman in the mirror, asking, "May I know where the Mount Wu in the poem is located?"
Shang Shuqing, "I have never heard of this place. However, there are many mountains and rivers in the world. It must be a place that the poet has travelled to. The mood in the poem makes me yearn for this mountain. When I have the time, I would like to seek advice from the poet. It would not be too late to tell Daoye the exact location."
Niu Youdao made an 'oh' sound, "Seek advice when you have the time? Don't tell me the poet is in Canglu County? "
"That's right! The poem is in the stationery I purchased … "Shang Shuqing gave a rough account of how he met the poem and said with a sigh," Such a good poem, I naturally have to ask about its origin. After asking, I found out that it was written by the shopkeeper of a shop in the city called 'Quiet Ink Pavilion' which specializes in stationery. I did not expect such a wise and refined person to exist in this small county. When I have the time, I would like to seek advice from him. "
"He is indeed a wise and refined person. If there is a chance, I would like to meet him." Niu Youdao expressed his approval.
After her hair was done, Niu Youdao stood up and adjusted her clothes. She conveniently pulled the sword beside her into her hand and personally sent Shang Shuqing out of the door.
When they reached the entrance of the courtyard, Niu Youdao suddenly said, "Princess, can we postpone the trip to the secret realm? I suddenly remembered something. I wonder if it is convenient to change the time? "
Shang Shuqing was stunned for a moment, but she still nodded and said, "No problem. If Daoye wants to go into seclusion, we can talk about it again." She bowed slightly and took her leave.
After watching her leave, Niu Youdao turned around and walked to Yuan Gang, who was sitting in the pavilion cleaning his dagger. The scabbard in his hand touched Yuan Gang's leg.
Yuan Gang looked up and waited for his words.
Niu Youdao calmly said, "I just heard a poem. Do you want to listen to it?"
Yuan Gang did not say anything and continued to clean his dagger. He looked as if he did not care if Ning Que said it.
Niu Youdao Slowly said, "It is difficult to be water when one has seen the vast sea. It is not clouds when one has not seen Mount Wu. I am lazy to look back at the flowers. It is half fate to cultivate the Dao and half fate to be a gentleman … How is this poem? "
Yuan Gang did not even raise his head. He only stopped wiping his dagger for a moment. "Are you too bored? Is it interesting?"
Although he was not as knowledgeable as Niu Youdao, it was not to the extent that he had not heard of this poem. After all, he had been in the field of ancient literature for many years.
Niu Youdao looked down at him. "Princess read it to me just now. I have never read it to her."
Yuan Gang was stunned for a moment. He slowly raised his head and said, "You know I do not do such things." He implied that he did not tell this poem to Princess.
Niu Youdao said, "This is a little interesting. Princess said that it was a poem composed by the shopkeeper of a stationery shop in the city. Could it be that there is someone else besides us who came to this world? This is not impossible. But if they also appeared in Canglu County, it is too much of a coincidence. "
Yuan Gang was suspicious. "Are you sure you have not told this poem to another person?"
"You have asked the key question!" Niu Youdao slowly turned around and looked into the distance. "I did tell this poem to someone, but that person is already dead. He was killed by you in Nanshan Temple. That person's name is Song Yanqing!"
It was related to Song Yanqing and appeared in Canglu County. There was no need to guess who it was coming for! Yuan Gang put the dagger in his hand back into the sheath on his thigh. He stood up and stared at Ning Que.
"The name of the shop is' Quiet Ink Pavilion '. Find out the situation." Niu Youdao said with his back facing Ning Que.
