Merchant of Otherworlds

Chapter 19 On the Test

Li Guobang and his entourage came to the National Teacher's Mansion slowly; although it is called the National Teacher's Mansion, it is actually not much different from a monastery, it just changed the name of the monastery where Master Xuande practiced; It's just a signboard.

For Li Guobang's visit, it seems that the national teacher has been prepared for a long time. Li Guobang just got off the horse; several young monks greeted him, and one of the older monks put his hands together and said: "Amitabha, my son, please go back, the national teacher has already left Mr. Liu knew about your intentions, and the national teacher ordered the young monk to pass the message on his behalf; please invite your master, the national teacher wants to see if your master is so magical; if he is really a virtuous person, he will naturally do it Sure. Ruuo is really a charlatan as Mr. Liu said; the national teacher also asks the son to stay away from villains in the future."

When Li Guobang heard this, he couldn't help but gritted his teeth and cursed: "Good job Liu Xuewen; we're not finished!" After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and walked away with his guards.The group of monks was obviously not surprised by the reaction of the police officer. After seeing Li Guobang leaving, they turned around and returned to their orders.

When Li Guobang hurried all the way to Yuling's place, he happened to see Yuling eating there.Seeing Li Guobang's visit, Yuling asked strangely: "Hey! Peng'er, haven't you already gone back? Why are you coming back now? Don't worry about it; it's just in time to have dinner for the teacher, come here; come together Eat some food, although it is not as good as the food in your palace; but it is also made by our master chefs of 'Wangjiang Tower', and it has a unique flavor."

Apparently Li Guobang was not in the mood; he didn't say much, he just walked up to Yuling and knelt down, pleading guilty: "Master, forgive me, it's a bit difficult to establish a sect this time!"

When Yu Ling heard this, he couldn't help being surprised; he hurriedly asked: "Hey! Although it is not a trivial matter to establish a Protestantism, anyone with a little influence in the capital should be able to do it! Could it be that the current national teacher is so ignorant? ;Since you don't even give face to you, the son of Prince Qin's mansion."

When Li Guobang heard this, he hurriedly explained: "This is not the problem of the national teacher, and it is also the fault of the apprentice; if I hadn't given Liu Xuewen a little word of mouth, the trouble would not have reached the current level."

When Yu Ling heard this, she couldn't help but wondered: "Why is this? I remember that Liu Xuewen seems to be your teacher! Since he is a member of your Prince Qin's mansion, can he still control you, the master?"

After Li Guobang heard Yu Ling's words, he couldn't help saying embarrassingly: "Master doesn't know something; my father was afraid that I would be young and ignorant, so I didn't know how to do things properly, so he once explained it; as long as it is to use the power of Qin Palace, there is no one without him or that one." If the old stubborn agrees, it will not be carried out. Therefore, even though I am the eldest son of the Qin Palace, sometimes I have to act according to the old stubborn face, otherwise there will be no good fruit to eat."

As soon as Yu Ling heard this, she understood the situation of her apprentice, and she couldn't help but sympathized and said: "It's really hard for you!" Then she thought of what Li Guobang said at the beginning, and asked again: "Listen to the meaning in your words; The matter of teaching was blocked by that Liu Xuewen?"

Li Guobang nodded affirmatively and said: "That's right; it's that old stubborn, I don't know what he's thinking. Before, he always said that Master, you are a contemporary expert; he wanted me to get closer to you. But; since I heard After learning the principle of "magic", he changed his words and said that you are a charlatan, and even said that you copied the couplet you wrote on the "Wangjiang Tower" from somewhere. And he You also told me to stay away from you, but of course I refused, so he started to fight against me in everything, this time it was because of him; the national teacher did not receive me."

When Yu Ling heard this, he thought to himself: "I didn't expect that old guy named Liu Xuewen to be really capable. This young master thought he had deceived everyone, but he didn't want this old guy to see through this young master's tricks. Fortunately, my apprentice is a bit stupid; I didn’t believe the old guy’s words, otherwise I wouldn’t have this shield, I’m afraid this young master would not be able to live as freely as he is now.”

Thinking of Liu Xuewen's identity, Yu Ling pretended to be very annoyed and said, "What an ignorant kid; he doesn't know my skills, otherwise, I'm afraid it will be too late for him to beg me? Let him understand later. After coming here, if you want to enter my door, I will definitely let him be your apprentice for a while, and let you control him; you must make him look good."

After hearing Yu Ling's words, Li Guobang couldn't help but said happily: "Yes, yes! Why didn't I come up with such a good idea? It's still the master who is smart, let the old boy be my apprentice in the future, and ask him to greet me every day. Let's see if he dares to spoil Master's affairs in the future?"

Although Yu Ling said that, but he knew that he didn't have the ability to pretend to be a fairy, so he could only deceive a young man like Li Guobang. If he wanted to deceive an old fritter like Liu Xuewen, he had to It takes a long time to do it.

Thinking of my plan being disrupted by Liu Xuewen, I also felt a little unwilling, so I asked again: "Then is there any room for turning around the matter of our teaching?"

Li Guobang thought for a while and said: "The national teacher did not expressly refuse when he arrived; he just told people that if the master wanted to create a religion, he had to go to him first and let him test it. Really; what is your identity, master, Since my uncle still wanted to test you, he really overestimated his capabilities. If I wasn't worried that that old stubborn would make trouble out of it, I really wanted you, Master, to dampen my uncle's spirit."

Yu Ling thought about it for a while, although Liu Xuewen didn't like him, but since he believed that he was a 'charlatan', naturally he wouldn't worry that he would be able to pass the test of the national teacher, and he shouldn't do anything bad.Get some Buddhist scriptures from the old man later; you should be able to get away with it by then.He said: "True gold is not afraid of fire; since your uncle wants to test Master Wei, why not Master Wei go?"

As soon as Li Guobang heard that Yu Ling was willing to go to the National Teacher's Mansion, he hurriedly persuaded him: "Master, you can't! Since Liu Xuewen doesn't like Master, if he makes things difficult for Master, it's a shame to fail the exam; maybe his life will be in danger! "

Of course, Yu Ling would not say that Liu Xuewen would not dare to mess around with you as a disciple, so he said: "The only one who dislikes me is Liu Xuewen, with your emperor uncle there; he would not dare to mess around. Let's talk again; You forgot my identity as your master, if Liu Xuewen does everything according to the routine, it will be fine, if that kid dares to play tricks, I will let him know 'why the flowers are so red'."

Seeing that Li Guobang wanted to persuade him again, he said helplessly: "That's it! You go back first; we will set off to the National Teacher's Mansion tomorrow to see how your uncle will test his teacher."

Li Guobang saw that Yuling was desperate; he couldn't persuade him anymore, so he had to leave...
