Chapter 264 The Quarrel Begins

No one expected that the Minister of Honglu Temple would say such words on the spot.

Can this be said in the middle of a banquet?

The meaning of this can basically be understood as: "You just came from the countryside, you haven't eaten watermelon, right?"

Is it appropriate to say such words in public?

This is already very indecent.

As soon as this was said, many people raised their hands and covered their faces with the sleeves of their long robes, but the robes kept shaking under them, and some even forgot to cover their voices and laughed.

However, people from Wushen Mountain like Li Qi naturally didn't look too good.

Especially Li Qi, because in addition to being unhappy, he had other worries in his heart.

Although they were already very hostile during the oath stage before, this is now considered a state banquet, but they are still so aggressive...

Tang Guo is too... something.

It's different from the various styles I know. There must be some inside story behind it, something I don't know.

The big witch went out at noon and returned to the car at night with blood on his clothes. Maybe it was related to this matter.

Unfortunately, they are still children and have no right to get involved in so many things.

However, if the conflict is really so intense, it will definitely fall on the shoulders of others.

No matter how much the adults fight, they can't really turn against each other. After all, the cost of adults fighting is too high. If they are not careful, the conflict between the two sides will turn from the current yin and yang to a full-scale war.

But everyone has made such a fuss, it is unlikely to pretend that nothing happened.

That should be what the great witch said...

I must let my little ones go up and fight.

This will not expand the conflict to the point where it cannot be resolved, nor will it be as if both sides are scared and pretend that nothing happened.

It's like the relationship between the two families is not good, but the adults will quarrel at most, and it is unlikely to fight, but if the child goes over and kicks the other child, the adult may have to give the child a chicken leg and give him a thumbs up when he goes home at night.

But as a child who doesn't want to fight, Li Qi only feels a headache.

However, on the other side.

Hearing this, the great witch smiled and replied: "I have never seen such a scenery as Chang'an, so narrow and cramped."

"I saw and heard this at Wushen Mountain:"

"There are waves floating with the sky, and the mountains invite the clouds to go away,"

"There are waves crashing on the shore, and the mountains and rivers are reflected,"

"There is the vast Wu Gorge, towering and majestic,"

'There are thousands of feet to climb, and the view is endless! '

Then, he chuckled and looked around:

"The scenery of Wushen Mountain is upright and the feelings of heaven and earth can be seen. It is not like Chang'an, where you have to turn every three steps and turn every five steps. A banquet is only fifty miles round trip, but it has to accommodate three thousand people. Is Chang'an really expensive and can't afford it?"

After these words came out, the scene became quiet.

It was not because everyone was shocked.

But everyone knew that it was about to start. A purple-robed official and a great witch at Wushen Mountain were really going to quarrel.

When the Minister of the Honglu Temple heard what the Great Witch said, he also smiled and said, "Hahaha, although this fifty miles is small, there are many utensils in it."

"Vegetables are served on lacquer plates with ice plates, meat is served on plates with exposed stems, and small plates are served on large plates. The utensils for serving wine and the etiquette of entertaining each other all have their own rules. I never expected that Wushenshan had never seen fine utensils, but only knew about vastness. It was really a misjudgment of ours."

"Next time, the next banquet arrangement, I will definitely arrange it for the Great Witch in advance in the wilderness west of Chang'an, thousands of miles long and wide, without tables and chairs, just hunting and skinning, and starting a fire to roast meat. I think the Great Witch will definitely adapt to it."

The Great Witch bowed and said, "So this is how the Minister of the Temple understands vastness. If so, it is not surprising that he can arrange today's venue. I have a book of "Rites" in Wushenshan for you to use. The temple minister reads it, so that we won't be rude next time we come. "

The Honglu Temple Minister shook his head and said lightly: "How can there be no Yili Book in my Central Plains? It's just that when Yili Book was written in ancient times, Wushen Mountain had never had an ancient inheritance, and it could only be pieced together from the fragments collected outside. I'm afraid you read a fake book? If not, how could there be a conflict with me?"

The Great Witch heard this and glared slightly, but soon relaxed, and then replied: "In ancient times, all races coexisted, and the witch way started to protect the human race. These books were written by the witches and shamans. Naturally, the ones in the hands of the witches and shamans are orthodox. Humanity is born from witchcraft, and the relationship is like parent-child. How can a child copy his parents' books and say that his parents are wrong after copying them wrongly? "

Li Qi heard this below and slapped his forehead.

It's bad.

The dispute between father and son is coming again.

Of course, he had heard about this debate (see Chapters 217 and 18 for details).

It can be said that this is one of the main conflicts between Wu Dao and Ren Dao.

Human Dao is derived from Wu Dao, but they are completely different, so that the two schools of thought directly split the human race.

Honglu Temple Minister smiled: "Human Dao is derived from Wu Dao, but Wu Shenshan is not the father of Human Dao."

"The ancient sages are naturally worthy of respect, but the successors of the ancient Wu Dao are Chong and Li. The emperor ordered them to narrate the world and distinguish the masters. The orthodoxy of Wu Dao is in the human world. Wu Shenshan usurped Wu Dao and established his own school. How dare he consider himself the father?"

"The witches of Wu Shenshan have no strict authority. The gods are indifferent to the people and do not exempt their actions, causing the people to be deprived of sacrifices and not knowing their blessings. With such behavior, they also want to think that they are the orthodox of Wu Dao?"

"In the past, King Li was cruel, and the people could not bear his fate and blamed him. The king was angry, so he found the witch in Wei and asked him to monitor those who slandered him. If he reported it, he would kill them. No one dared to speak. If I remember correctly, one of the branches of Wushen Mountain is the witch in Wei, right?"

When the Minister of Honglu Temple said this, he saw Boyue raised his head angrily.

Li Qi saw Boyue's face and immediately understood.

The Minister of Honglu Temple was telling a story from ancient times. At that time, there was King Li in the human race. He was tyrannical and unjust. The people could not bear it, so they all blamed him. King Li was very angry, so he found the witch in Wei and sent him to monitor those who accused him. As long as the witch found someone who slandered the king, he would kill them directly, so soon no one dared to speak. (The story comes from "Zhou Yu")

At that time, this witch in Wei was a lineage of the fortune-teller.

Obviously, this was a scolding to Boyue.

Li Qi knew with his toes that according to the nature of the fortune-teller, the matter must have been very simple at the beginning.

Most of the fortune-tellers have no concept of good and evil. What they do is very simple. Since the boss wants the person who said this to die, just do it.

As long as the fortune-teller can figure out who is saying it, and then kill him directly with a curse, the matter is over.

It is over at one time. The fortune-teller will not even show up in front of people. He is just a tool to do things. This is basically the image of the fortune-teller.

And now, the Minister of Honglu Temple has put all the blame for King Li on Wei Wu, using this to blame Wushen Mountain.

I don’t know how the great witch will explain it?

When the great witch heard this, he sneered: "Hehe, King Li is the emperor of man."

Just this sentence directly dragged the scene into another intense level!

The two sides fought with each other, and a good opening speech at the banquet turned into a meeting of yin and yang.

The two sides went back and forth, neither gave in, each quoted classics, and their literary talent was flying. The sharp tongue, many sarcastic, and it was difficult to tell for a while.

And there were only two contestants.

A purple-robed nobleman and a great witch from Wushen Mountain, no one had the right to interrupt their conversation, and could only watch from the side.

In the end, it even reached the point of cursing, so that the great witch slammed the table and shouted angrily: "You are using your lips and tongue to challenge each other, which is not the etiquette of respecting guests."

The Minister of the Honglu Temple was even more ruthless, saying directly: "Why should we respect bad guests?!"

Others had their own reactions.

Some scratched their ears and cheeks, thinking hard, trying to keep up with the thoughts of the great witches. After all, their words were obscure, full of allusions, and their speed was fast, which was really difficult to understand.

Some glared at the other boss, but did not dare to speak, and could only be angry silently, including Boyue.

Some wrote furiously, as if they had heard a lot of things they didn't know before, and were recording them.

Some were trembling with fear just by hearing these, and were scared to death, fearing that one of the big bosses on both sides could not help but take action, and then everyone would be in trouble.

Only a few people, including Li Qi, were thoughtful, and obviously had their own considerations.

Li Qi was thinking about some problems.

About some things that the Great Witch said when he came to join the war.

The Great Witch reminded himself and others to pay attention to behave well...

It's not about now, right?

In the current situation, if there is no fight, or someone interrupts in the middle, then I'm afraid things will continue to develop. With the knowledge and memory of the two big guys, it is estimated that they can quarrel until next year, but I can't wait until next year.

With this thought, Li Qi felt that this might be the time for him to speak.

The time when the Great Witch and others want him to perform is now!

Thinking of this, Li Qi thought more and more that it made sense.

Interrupting at this time, ending the dispute, and then extending the fight to the younger generation can prevent the increasingly fierce verbal fight from developing into a literary fight.

However... If the interruption is unreasonable and nonsense, then things will be bad.

But you have to pay attention to the degree. If you say too much, you may be beaten into a pig's head by the Minister of the Honglu Temple.

He won't attack the Great Witch casually, but isn't it easy to slap you?

So this degree must be grasped well, but it must be on.

Li Qi thought about it for a while, considered the words, and then, while both sides had just finished speaking, he suddenly stood up from his seat!

After standing up, he prepared to speak without waiting for others to react.

At the same time, he glanced at a Tang man in a scholar's robe.

Because, just before Li Qi was about to stand up, this person also felt eager to try, as if he wanted to stand up.

It was because he saw this person that Li Qi suddenly accelerated to stand up, otherwise he would have wanted to continue to consider it, but he was afraid that this person would take the lead.

However, since he stood up, he didn't think too much and performed at ease.

The moment Li Qi stood up, including the two adults, everyone in the entire venue looked at Li Qi.

It seemed that they didn't expect that someone would dare to stand up at this time.

Li Qi was stared at by many people, but he ignored them and didn't think about it. He just bowed and said loudly: "My two lords, you are picking out sentences and arguing without reason. I have seen all the corrupt scholars in the world are like this. How could such a scene happen to you two?"

When these words came out, everyone in the room was shocked.

But the great witch smiled and seemed very satisfied.

The reason is also very simple.

Confucianism is one of the hundreds of arts of humanity, and it is the largest one, the undisputed leader of the hundreds of schools.

Li Qi seemed to belittle both sides, but the word he used was "corrupt scholar", which was actually a hint that the leader of the hundreds of schools of humanity was just a corrupt scholar who could only talk.

Moreover, Li Qi had checked it on the terminal beforehand.

This Honglu Temple Minister is a Confucian.

In fact, among the Hundred Schools of Thought, Confucianism, Miscellaneous School and Legalism are famous for their focus on climbing official positions, so that most of the nobles in the Tang Dynasty are Confucianists and Legalists.

However, if Li Qi said this, he might be beaten to a cripple here.

This is too heavy.

But Li Qi naturally knew the consequences of doing so, so he immediately walked out of the table and said loudly: "Instead of arguing, it is better to try it yourself. Since the two adults are not convenient to leave, then I will do it."

"Not only the Book of Rites, but also the Book of Changes, the Book of Poetry, the Book of Rites, the Classics, the History, and the Chronicles are all here. If you really want to see who inherits the true meaning of the ancients, just give it a try. I will answer everyone's questions here, and you can see it."

"Let's argue with me, who is more familiar with it, who understands the true meaning of the ancients, just give it a try and you will know!"

Li Qi looked around and made a wild statement to the hundreds of people attending the banquet!

Just after he finished speaking, Zhenzhiyun moved strongly.

Something horrible and unbelievable was rushing towards him, and a feeling of fear rose from the bottom of his heart.

Zhenzhiyun, can't be analyzed!

Can't see through, can only vaguely sense that something is approaching him!

But Li Qi felt that he couldn't move, and couldn't make any reaction, this thing came too fast!

At this moment, the great witch stood up, took a step, and came to Li Qi's side.

That feeling of danger disappeared instantly.

But in just a moment, Li Qi's back was soaked and his legs were shaking.

It's not that he is not brave enough, but that feeling... There is no way to rely on willpower to persist.

That is an absolute crushing, not subject to personal will, it is irresistible, and it is irresistible.

But the Great Wizard patted Li Qi's shoulder, signaling him to rest assured, and evaporated the moisture on his body. Then, the Great Wizard frowned and said to Li Qi: "You youngsters, what ancient truth are you talking about? Are you qualified to say such things? You don't know your own limits!"

Li Qi bowed his head immediately after hearing this.

He knew that the matter was settled.

But after the Great Wizard finished speaking, he walked in front of Li Qi, waved his hand, and said to the people at the banquet: "However, although this youngster has a lot of big words, there is one thing that makes sense."

"It's really useless for us to say so much. After all, you and I have a solid heart of Taoism and will not be shaken."

"Why not let these youngsters argue? They have not yet been finalized, so they naturally know which side is more Tao."

As soon as this was said, everyone looked at the Minister of the Honglu Temple.

Obviously, except for this purple-robed minister, no one was qualified to respond to the Great Wizard's words.

And he looked around and nodded: "Okay, I want to see how this young master will prove that Wushen Mountain is the real family."
