Chapter 2671 Scolding the Prince, the Man in Heaven

Huang He said angrily after hearing his unreasonable words.

"Uncle Master, are you going to start cheating again?"

"So what if I just played tricks?"

The sloppy old Taoist priest teased his triangular eyes and shouted without caring about his image.

"Anyway, Master is not in Chang'an City."

Since the Master is not in Chang'an City or in the academy, he has nothing to be afraid of as a worshiper of the South Gate of Haotian. As a sacred and noble Talisman Master, he has no scruples in pointing out this matter. This is ridiculous. It's actually a bit fair.

"Uncle Master, although you have a respected position and high seniority, this is a matter of the academy after all, so it will be of no use if you raise your neck to object."

Yan Se pulled his neck, his face turned red, and his veins popped out. He just refused to allow Ning Que to enter the second floor of the academy and become the master's disciple, and he kept insisting on it to the end.

"The academy is the academy of the world, and everyone in the world has reason to raise questions and opinions! The academy is the academy of the Tang Dynasty. As a Tang Dynasty person, I am more qualified to object! You say it is useless to object, but I still have to object! Ning Que just can't Enter the second floor!”

"Ning Que's cultivation is so poor, how can he be allowed to enter the second floor!"

"Did you see it? This is the token of my Haotian South Gate. What I said today represents the attitude of the entire Haotian South Gate. I think whether it is the Xiling Temple or His Majesty the Emperor, this respect must still be given!"

I don't know when, Zhao Wuhao came here quietly. Looking at Yan Se, he smiled and said loudly, showing his free and easy manner.

"Master Color, you have fallen in love with Ning Que and want to inherit his mantle. Why don't you just say it? Why are you causing such a scene?"

"This matter is not without discussion!"

When Huang He saw Zhao Wuhao coming forward, his expression changed slightly, but he actually did not object and acquiesced to Zhao Wuhao's proposal.

Yan Se quickly changed his face, smiled brightly, turned to look at Zhao Wuhao, and said.

"This little brother is sensible and can talk! Let's discuss it. Ning Que is my first choice. Is it easy for me to have a successor?"

"Your academy is robbing people like this. It's really a bully!"

In this world, the descendants of the Talisman Master are as rare as a rare thing. They are too important to both the Talisman Master himself and the sect to which he belongs.

Hearing that Ning Que had the qualifications to become a Talisman Master, Priest Mo Li from Xiling Temple took a few steps forward, stared at Yan Se angrily, and said dissatisfiedly.

"Uncle! Since you found a candidate with the potential to become a Talisman Master, why didn't you notify the temple immediately?"

"Nonsense, let me inform you first. Is there any porridge and rice for me?"

Yan Se glared, even angrier than Mo Liguan, and said frankly.

Now it was Professor Huang He's turn to smile, looking at the color, and said very happily.

"Uncle Master, do you think our academy will let Ning Que go if we know about this?"

Yan Se suddenly changed his color, pointed at Huang He with his right hand, and roared angrily.

"You shameless person, your academy said we could discuss it, so I told you, and now you're regretting it!"

"I, Yan Se, have been looking for a good talent like Ning Que for most of my life. If anyone dares to compete with me for this disciple, I will be at odds with him. Even if I burn my body to pieces, I will smash his bones into ashes!"

"Uncle Master's words are so harsh. If Master Nephew hadn't been backed by the academy, he might have been really scared."

Professor Huang He is worthy of being the nephew of Master Yan Se. His rogue virtues are truly passed down from generation to generation, and Yan Se is so angry that his hair and beard stand tall.

Yan Se had nothing to do with Professor Huang He and could only look at Zhao Wuhao who was standing aside. He had also seen Professor Huang He's reaction just now. Although he did not know this young man, he was obviously a person who could make the decision.

"Does your academy still have credibility? Does it still mean what it says?"

"That boy is born to practice the way of divine talismans. Who else in the world besides me is qualified to be his teacher?"

The dispute between Yan Se and the Academy, no matter how gangster-like it was, would make those watching feel extremely nervous, and the atmosphere suddenly became depressing.

Before Zhao Wuhao could speak, Prince Li Peiyan suddenly stood up and proposed a solution with a smile on his face.

"Actually, what's so controversial about this matter?"

"In my opinion, Ning Que's cultivation level is only at the level of non-confusion, which is far inferior to that of Prince Long Qing. It is better to let Prince Long Qing enter the second floor and let Master Yan Se accept Ning Que as his disciple. In this way, both parties will be satisfied."

"Moreover, Ning Que still retains his identity as a student in the front yard of the academy. That means the academy has two very potential students at the same time. Isn't this a perfect ending?"

Zhao Wuhao looked slightly cold, turned to look at Prince Li Peiyan who came forward, and sneered unceremoniously.

"It's not your turn to make the decision regarding the academy's affairs!"

"You are just a prince, you are not allowed to interrupt here!"

Zhao Wuhao's words were extremely rude, making Li Peiyan tremble with anger, his eyes wide open, full of murderous intent, and he wanted to kill Zhao Wuhao immediately, but this was an academy and he was not allowed to be presumptuous. He would never dare to kill an academy teacher in the academy unless he was tired of living there.

"If you dare to look at me like this again, I will kill you right now!"

Zhao Wuhao didn't have a good impression of this prince at all. There was a bit of murderous intent in his eyes, and an extremely powerful aura rose up and filled the void, making Yan Se, the Talisman Master, change his face and dare not He looked at the young teacher with confidence.

Li Peiyan was struck by Zhao Wuhao's momentum, and his face suddenly turned pale. His whole body was trembling, his heart was pounding, beating violently, his breathing was rapid, and he was gasping for air, like a fish that came ashore and couldn't breathe any air.

"Mr. Zhao, please show mercy. After all, he is your Majesty's biological brother!"

Professor Huang He spoke quickly, secretly surprised in his heart. He was indeed someone valued by the Master. His strength was terrifying, which made him feel as if he was facing the Master.

"snort!"

Zhao Wuhao put down his momentum, with a bit of disdain on his face, and ignored the frightened Prince Li Peiyan. For him, such a person could be easily crushed to death, so there was no need to take it seriously.

Zhao Wuhao then looked at Master Yan Se again. He had a good impression of this Talisman Master who was full of transparency and replied.

"Of course the Academy keeps what it says, and I, Zhao Wuhao, also keep what I say!"

"Ning Que can study Talismanism under Master Yan Se, or he can enter the second floor of the academy!"

"There's just one thing. Ning Que is just a descendant of your master Yan Se, not a member of the South Gate of Haotian Dao!"

"Master Yanse, what do you think?"

The solution given by Zhao Wuhao was surprising. Prince Longqing was not mentioned from beginning to end, and he obviously looked down upon this recognized genius.

When Yan Se heard this, he looked stunned and a little embarrassed. He wanted Ning Que to be his successor. On the one hand, he wanted to pass on his mantle, and on the other hand, he also wanted to train a Talisman Master for the South Gate of Haotian Dao.

"this?"

Zhao Wuhao looked indifferent, with an unchangeable meaning in his eyes, and said coldly.

"If you agree, let's do it! If you don't agree, it's not like there are no Talisman Masters in the academy!"

As soon as these words came out, Yan Se struggled for a long time and finally made a difficult decision. He looked at the white clouds below the cliff and the Xiongcheng of Chang'an in the distance, and sighed silently in his heart.

"Junior brother, I'm sorry for you."

Master Yan Se's younger brother Li Qingshan is the leader of the South Gate of Haotian Dao and the national preceptor of the Tang Empire. Master Yan Se obviously made a decision and agreed to Zhao Wuhao's proposal.

The matter had been resolved. Zhao Wuhao glanced at Li Peiyan coldly and disappeared in a flash.

"If he knows what is good, I won't bother to pay attention to him. If he doesn't know what is good and what is bad, then go to hell!"

Master Yan Se got his wish and had a successor. Although he felt a little apologetic to his junior brother Li Qingshan, he was still in a happy mood. It was rare to kindly remind Prince Li Peiyan.

"You'd better get rid of the murderous intention in your heart, otherwise not even His Majesty the Emperor can save your life!"

Li Peiyan was shocked when he heard this and quickly asked Master Yan Se.

"Please give me some advice from Master Yan Se!"

"He is a man in heaven, how can anyone on earth hurt him!"

Yan Se showed an expression of surprise on his face, shook his head, left here with only these words.

When Li Peiyan heard this, his heart trembled, and he dispersed the last remaining murderous intent. Yan Se was a magic talisman master, a top-notch existence in the world. He was so in awe of Zhao Wuhao just now that he was afraid that he could not do anything to him.

Ning Que became famous all over the world in one fell swoop. Not only did he enter the Second Tower of the Academy, he also became the sole successor of the Talisman Master Yan Se. He was also summoned by Emperor Li Zhongyi and became the most popular person in Chang'an City. Everyone was talking about it. This border boy is exploring his past and deeds.

Not far outside the south gate of the majestic imperial city, there is a quiet Taoist temple hidden among the green trees, which is where the south gate of Haotian Road is located.

In the deepest palace of Nanmen Temple, the Talisman Master Yan Se, who was previously so heroic and rogue in the academy, seemed to have turned into a child who had done something wrong. He sat cross-legged on the dark wooden floor. The beard under his chin seemed to have been burned. His eyes were no longer obscene, but he just stared innocently at the floor in front of him, not daring to look across from him. The wrinkles on his face were already full of guilt. and a flattering look.

Li Qingshan, the Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty, looked at his senior brother in front of him with a gloomy look, like a resentful woman in the palace. His usual respect for his senior brother had completely turned into disappointment and anger.

"Ning Que cannot enter the South Gate of Haotian Dao. This means that although he is your student, after your death, we, the South Gate of Haotian Dao, will no longer have a Talisman Master of our own. This also means that you After I die, no one will be able to support the South Gate."

Master Yan Se raised his head, chuckled, looked at his junior brother, and said comfortingly.

"It's not so serious. Since Ning Que is my student, if he becomes a Talisman Master in the future, he will never be able to just watch something happen to the south gate and ignore it. In addition, although I am old and will die, junior brother, you are still young. , maybe when you die, Ning Que will be dead long ago. In that case, what is his use?"

Li Qingshan looked at the senior brother who was teasing him with an expressionless face. After being silent for a long time, he sighed, shook his head and said.

"Could it be that, senior brother, you really don't understand the difference between the two? If Ning Que enters the South Gate, and I let him be the leader of the South Gate in the future, he will be my Great Tang Imperial Master, and this South Gate will be It’s hard to be weak even if you want to!”

"But if he is just your student, he will at most become a guest of my Nanmen in the future, but what is the use of this guest? The Sword Saint of the Southern Jin Dynasty Liu Bai is still a guest of the Xiling Temple, but when have you seen it? Liu Bai has been through life and death for the temple. ?”

Yan Se agreed to Zhao Wuhao's request and accepted Ning Que as a Fu Dao student in his own name, completely cutting off the possibility of Ning Que entering the south gate of Haotian Dao. He was already ashamed in his heart, and felt even more shameless when he came back to face Li Qingshan. Listening to Li Qingshan's words getting heavier and heavier, I felt extremely embarrassed. In the end, I didn't dare to look at the other party's resentful eyes anymore, and my head was drooped, like a plague chicken, without any vitality.

After a long time, Yan Se raised his head, faced his junior brother Li Qingshan's gaze, no longer chose to dodge, and said in a deep voice.

"Junior brother, there is nothing I can do!"

"The Academy has a big fist. If I don't agree with this, Ning Que won't even be able to serve as a guest at the South Gate!"

Li Qingshan looked surprised when he heard this, thought for a moment, and then asked.

"Could it be that Master has returned home after his travels?"

Li Qingshan really couldn't think of any other answer. Only a master could make his senior brother willingly submit to him and not dare to steal his apprentice.

"If Master were here, I wouldn't be a rogue!"

Yan Se shook his head. He didn't dare to act like a rogue in front of his wife.

"Then why did you compromise, senior brother?"

Li Qingshan really couldn't think of other possibilities, frowned slightly, and looked at Yan Se in confusion, waiting for the other party's answer.

"Another Ke Haoran has emerged from the academy!"

A solemn look appeared on Yan Se's face, and he recalled the sharp-edged and unparalleled swordsman in his mind, sighing in his heart. The Academy is truly a place of outstanding people, one favored by nature, and one of those amazing and talented people has actually appeared. It is truly enviable.

"Ke Haoran!"

Li Qingshan's voice rose an octave higher, and his body stiffened suddenly, which showed how much shock and impact this name had on him.

"who is it?"

"Peerless characters like Ke Haoran are rare to see in a thousand years! How could a character like that appear again in the academy?!"

"I only know that his name is Zhao Wuhao, and he is very young!"

Yan Se recalled that unworldly figure in his mind, and the solemnity in his eyes became more intense. He had secretly tested Zhao Wuhao, and allowed him to use all his methods, but in the end he still found nothing.

"Facing him, I feel like I'm seeing the vast starry sky, mysterious and dazzling, and I can't fathom his depth!"

Yan Se described the feeling that Zhao Wuhao gave him, choosing the words carefully, with a serious expression on his face, no longer the scoundrel look he had before.

Li Qingshan was silent after hearing this, frowning, secretly thinking about what kind of impact Zhao Wuhao's appearance would have on the south gate of Haotian Dao.

"So that's the case, no wonder senior brother you agreed to this proposal!"

Li Qingshan sighed. He was not as strong as others, so he could only accept the established fact.

Standing by the railing, Emperor Li Zhongyi of the Tang Dynasty raised his hand and pointed at the black and blue city wall in the distance to the north, and said with emotion.

"Only ten miles out of the city, we arrived at the Daming Palace. The green mountains and dense forests there filter the wind and cool you down. It would be much cooler there in the summer, and you don't have to listen to the noisy ministers in the court. No one will bother you every day. , and much more relaxed.”

Emperor Li Zhongyi had just finished his dinner, followed by a group of eunuch guards, walking around the palace, euphemistically called taking a walk, but in fact he just wanted to think about something.

It was just getting dark at this time, the lights in Chang'an City started to light up early, and you could see a lot of scenery as you looked around. Emperor Li Zhongyi walked to the railing, gently touched the cool stone railing with his slender palms, looked at the palace under the night, and after a moment of silence, he sighed softly.

"Predecessors had a school of palace resentment poems, such as the old palace maid with red leaves on the palace wall, but who knew that this deep palace was so heavy that it locked not only the palace maids and concubines, but also me. Looking back now, when I was the prince, I often went there Playing in Chang'an City, taking Xiao Chen and the others straight to the Chunfeng Pavilion, drinking and fighting with Chao Xiaoshu, it is truly an unrecoverable past."

Eunuch Lin and others behind him were all silent and cautious. They knew that Emperor Li Zhongyi did not say these words to them, but just expressed his own feelings.

Those of them who are slaves only need to wear ears. They have no mouths, they can only listen but not speak, and they can only go in and out, so that they can live longer.

Suddenly, Emperor Li Zhongyi turned to look at Eunuch Lin, and asked in a low voice with a hint of seriousness.

"Please tell me everything Mr. Zhao said and did in detail!"

"Here!"

As the chief eunuch, Eunuch Lin naturally has extraordinary qualities. He is eloquent and has an outstanding memory. He told Emperor Li Zhongyi vividly what happened in the academy before. He even explained everyone's expressions, reactions, and some unknown personal actions very clearly at that time.

"Did Mr. Zhao threaten Pei Yan?"

Emperor Li Zhongyi's voice was low, and there was no hint of joy or anger at all. This made Eunuch Lin feel anxious and unable to understand the holy intention, so he just responded.

"It was a threat. Mr. Zhao said at that time that if His Highness the Prince dared to look at him with murderous eyes again, he would kill His Highness the Prince!"

Emperor Li Zhongyi nodded slightly and did not comment on the matter, but continued to ask.

"Master Yan Se said that Mr. Zhao is a heavenly being and no one on earth can harm him in any way, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Eunuch Lin bowed his waist and almost lowered his head to the ground. He didn't know what the holy intention was, so he could only maintain his respect and awe.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Zhao is so amazing. Not only is his calligraphy superb, but his cultivation is also astonishing!"

Emperor Li Zhongyi seemed to admire Zhao Wuhao quite a lot and had no other intentions. He was a smart man, very broad-minded and tolerant. I understand more clearly that both the Tang Dynasty and the academy will prosper and suffer.

As a teacher of the academy, Zhao Wuhao, the stronger his cultivation, the stronger the academy, and the stronger the academy, the stronger the Tang Dynasty.

"You order someone to send Pei Yan some pens, ink, paper and inkstones, so that he will not leave the house recently and practice calligraphy at home to cultivate his sentiments!"

Emperor Li Zhongyi was beating Li Peiyan and asking him to shut himself up and think about his mistakes. Of course, this was also seen as protecting Li Peiyan, lest he really made a mistake and lost his life, causing unhappiness between Datang and the academy.

"Slave takes orders!"

Eunuch Lin walked back carefully, knowing that he had walked a long distance before he straightened up and hurriedly went to the Prince's Mansion to convey the order.

The Prince's Mansion occupies a large area and is majestic in scale. As the emperor's younger brother, Li Peiyan has a distinguished status and is very favored by Li Zhongyi. In the court, he can be said to be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.

At this time, the extremely noble Li Peiyan bowed his waist and waited very respectfully for Eunuch Lin to read the emperor's oral edict.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has asked you to practice calligraphy in the mansion recently. Don't go out to cultivate your sentiments!"

Li Peiyan was shocked, his waist bent even deeper, his face was full of compliance, and he responded in a deep voice.

"My brother, I have taken orders. From today on, I will thank guests behind closed doors, practice calligraphy, cultivate my sentiments, and never go out again!"
