Chapter 45

Outside the 'Renshou Hall', Lin Xi saw the whole hall from afar, and the beautiful sounds of silk, bamboo, bells and chimes were endless. Along the way, Lin Xi was thinking about why the prince was this night banquet? And why did he invite him to come. Although the position of the minister of the service is indeed a bit important, it is far from the point where the prince is willing to win over. What's more, it was on the first day he entered the palace. The prince's intention of doing this was too obvious.

The princes of the Shang Dynasty have always chosen wise men but not legitimate. The current crown prince can stand out among the many princes, so it is naturally not an ordinary person. And such people do things so obviously, which shows that things are not as simple as they seem!

As soon as he walked into the "Renshou Hall", Lin Xi was slightly shocked. Because at this moment, several people had already sat down in front of several tables in the "Renshou Hall". One of them was known to Lin Xi, who was neither the other person nor Li Yan.

When he first met Li Yan, Lin Xi was also very confused. Lin Xi thought Li Yan had left Chaodu long ago, but he didn't expect to see him at the prince's banquet. And from Li Yanran, the Li family should be inclined to the fourth prince, and the fourth prince is the only one among the many princes today who can pose a threat to the prince. There are even rumors that the fourth prince has never given up his position as the prince.

The Li family has such a relationship with the fourth prince, why did the prince invite Li Yan to attend? The relationship between Lin Xi feels more complicated.

"Hey, Brother Lin!" Li Yan saw Lin Xi at a glance. He was also surprised and quickly got up, then bowed to Lin Xi and continued, "Oh no, I should call Master Lin Shizhong now!"

Li Yan still looked smiling, and the two of them had disappeared for nearly half a year. This slightly joking greeting made Lin Xi feel a little touched!

"Brother Li is making fun of you. Brother Li is still in his style for half a year!" Lin Xi hurriedly bowed and returned the greeting, then walked to Li Yan, and even planned to sit next to Li Yan.

Originally, the prince's banquet had arrangements for the positions of each guest. Lin Xi's position was actually very front, but at this moment he sat a little behind when he approached Li Yan. However, as a guest, he chose the position behind, and the leading eunuch didn't say anything, but turned around and whispered a few words to the other eunuchs and palace maids at the door.

"I thought Brother Li had left Chaodu, but I didn't expect to see you here. It surprised Lin!" Lin Xi sat down and said. Because he had an ulterior motive with Li Yan, his words were quite casual, and there was something in his words. The accident Lin Xi mentioned naturally refers to the relationship between the Li family and the fourth prince, and Li Yan appeared at the prince's night banquet.

"Haha, there are some things that surprised Brother Lin later. But not only I am here, but that one will come too!" Li Yan smiled, and there was something in his words. When this words fell into Lin Xi's ears, he naturally understood that the so-called person Li Yan was the fourth prince!

"Well? Brother Li knows what the prince is about?" Lin Xi became more and more confused at this moment, and it was difficult to understand the prince's actions.

"Brother Lin, who is the one with half-black and half-white eyebrows opposite?" Li Yan leaned against Lin Xi slightly, and said with a very low voice.

Following Li Yan's gaze, Lin Xi carefully noticed the young man sitting at a desk opposite. This man is only in his twenties, and his elegant white shirt should also be the successor of a certain family. The biggest feature of this man is two eyebrows, one black and one white. The two eyebrows with distinct black and white are originally strange because of the strangeness, but this man feels extremely harmonious at first glance!

"This person's name is Zou Qi. His eyebrows were half black and half white because he realized the Taoist priest of the "Yin and Yang Saint" to the Hinayana realm. It is said that during the Mahayana period, not only his eyebrows, but also his hair and eyes would become half black and half white." Before Lin Xi could continue to ask, Li Yan had already whispered to tell the origin of this person.

"He is actually the descendant of the saint!" Lin Xi couldn't help but sigh when he heard this. He didn't expect that Zou Qi was actually a descendant of the "Yin and Yang Saint". This "Yin and Yang Saint" was Zou Yan, the founder of the Yin and Yang family in the ancient "Ten Families and Nine-Levels". This saint is good at astronomical and numerological techniques, and his deduction skills were unmatched in the period when hundreds of saints coexisted!

"That's not simple either, right?" Lin Xi's eyes fell on Zou Qi and asked Li Yan. This man was also spotless in white clothes. Even at this banquet venue, the man looked serious and his sensible eyes were almost cruel. Although he was only about twenty years old, he gave people a sense of rigor that was inconsistent with his age!

Whether from Li Yan or Zou Qi, the prince’s banquet tonight is not simple. Then this young man with a strict face must have a background. In fact, even if Lin Xi himself inherited the Taoist tradition of the “Guigu Saint”, his background is not worse than others!

"Brother Lin has good eyesight. This person is Han Jing, and he is the descendant of the Legal saint Han Fei. He is also a powerful figure!" Li Yan replied in a low voice, with a high evaluation of Han Jing.

When Lin Xi heard of Han Jing's identity, he couldn't help but think of the deeds of Han Fei, the Legalist saint. The Legalist saint is also among the "Nine-ranking ranks of the Ten", and this Legalist saint also called "Saint of Art and Method". At the beginning of the establishment of the Legalist sect, there were two representatives, one was called "Shen Buwei", whose theory was called "Shuan Yang", and his theory was called "Fa". Both of them were representatives of the Legalist saint, infinitely close to the existence of saints, but unfortunately, neither of them became saints in the end. In the end, Han Fei merged the "Shuan" and "Fa" of these two great sages into one and became the only saint in the Legalist saint. Therefore, later generations also had the name "Saint of Art and Method"!

When Lin Xi saw that neither Zou Qi nor Han Jing showed any traces of martial arts, but they were both true energy and their divine light was restrained. In other words, both of them were similar to Li Yan. Even if they had not practiced martial arts, they were still young talents who were about to enter the Yuanshen realm!

At this time, Lin Xi suddenly discovered a problem. At this moment, the people here, including himself, are all descendants of the ancient sages, and they are all among the ten Taoist ranks. Li Yan represents Taoism, Zou Qi represents Yin-Yang Family, Han Jing represents the Legal Family, and Lin Xi himself represents the Zongheng Family. More importantly, almost these people represent the inheritance of these Taoist ranks!

Because the novelists among the "Nine-Levels of the Ten" have no Taoist traditions, and the famous Taoist traditions are lost, and the Mohist school is too mysterious. In this way, coupled with Meng Wushang, who can represent the Confucian Taoist traditions, and the descendants of the Za and Nong families, almost all the descendants of the Taoist traditions gathered together!

At this moment, Lin Xi felt that a simple gathering of the prince had actually shown considerable courage.

Just as Lin Xi was thinking about the intention of the prince's night banquet, another eunuch led two young men into the hall at the same time. As the two appeared, Lin Xi couldn't help but turn his eyes to these two people.

"The true energy is full of energy, and the divine light is restrained." When Lin Xi saw these two people, he was shocked. These two people were also close to the realm of the soul. It seems that his guess is correct. The prince really invited almost all the descendants of the "Nine-Rank of Ten Family" Taoist throne.

One of these two people has a complex aura, which seems to contain the aura of many schools, but these auras are not pure. Lin Xi thought about it and guessed that this person must be a descendant of the Taoist tradition of the "Miscellaneous School". The Age is a school that appeared later. They integrated the ideas of many schools. In ancient times, they were even known as "combined with Confucianism and Mohism, combined with the name and law". However, it is precisely because they combined too many ideological factors that they did not have their own obvious ideas, so they did not have their own status among the ten schools!

The other person's identity has been revealed by his clothes. This person is not wearing a white shirt like other Taoist descendants, nor is he wearing an official uniform like Lin Xi. This person is actually wearing a coarse cloth dress and straw sandals. Judging from this, this person must be the descendant of the farm Taoist tradition. However, when Lin Xi saw this person's cloth dressing straw sandals, he had a strange feeling. Although these cloth dressing straw sandals were simple, they gave people an extremely ancient feeling, and even some epic and grand atmosphere was revealed in these cloth dressing straw sandals!

Then a nearly legendary history about the "farmer's house" began to appear in Lin Xi's mind.

The history of the human race can actually be divided into ancient, ancient, and current periods. The appearance of saints is the beginning of ancient times, and then the saints disappear and then the end of ancient times. After two thousand years of dynasty, it is the current period. So before the saints are not yet there, it is the so-called ancient times!

Many ancient Taoist traditions were formed after the emergence of the thoughts of saints. However, a very small number of Taoist traditions can be traced back to the beginning of the birth of human civilization, and in that era when there were no saints. But the "farmer's family" is a school that can be traced back to ancient times.

In ancient times, it was the first period of the formation of human civilization. People at that time had no names. Later, some outstanding people began to create the initial civilization. For example, some created words, some created fire, and some processed wooden sticks and stones into tools. These people who created the initial civilization were the first people who had names. Because names were used to distinguish individuals, only outstanding people could have them. And at that time, all names were just one word. For example, those who discovered the use of fire were called "Sui", and those who created the fishing nets were called "Xi". And the "farmer's family" had a lot to do with a person named "Ji".

In ancient times, ‘Ji’ was the first person to bury leftover wild fruit pits in the soil and transplant some fruit trees near the residences to plant them in large areas. Therefore ‘Ji’ became the ancestor of ‘farmers’.

When the two successors of the "Zhajia" and "Farmer's Family" walked into the hall, they each chose one side to sit down, leaving the two seats in the top.

In addition to the prince of the central government, there were already six Taoist descendants in the hall at this time. Li Yan mentioned just now that the fourth prince would also arrive, which means that one of the two positions in the first place must be the fourth prince. So who else would the other one be?
