Simulation becomes reality, have I ever looked down upon the eternity?

Chapter 412: Two birds landed on my shoulders and then scattered, the guests danced with swords with intention!
【Xie Yuan was shocked! 】

[Not only him, everyone present had an expression of disbelief on their faces.]

[Liu Yuan's pupils suddenly shrank, and his eyes were full of shock.]

[Li Qinlan watched the "Zhao Ming Luan" fly around for a few times before landing lightly on Xie Guan's shoulder, her red lips slightly parted.]

[The divine bird was full of spirit. It used its claws to gently stroke Xie Guan's hair, and its scarlet beak pecked at his collar affectionately.]

[Su Yun stood up suddenly, his eyes trembling, "The white crown is male, the red crown is female. These are the male birds among the Zhaoming Luan. Only those who are truly kind and have great virtues for the world can live there."]

[“In the rumors of Da Qi, there is only one person like you…”]

[You reach out your hand and gently touch it, and the phoenix rubs against your fingers affectionately. ]

[The cup lid in Cai Huang's hand fell to the ground with a clang, and the tea stains spread on the green bricks. The bird-raising woman's eyes widened - she had raised this phoenix for three years, and she would be screamed at if she got even a foot close to it, let alone touched it.]

[The room was completely silent, with only the faint sound of wind caused by the Zhaoming Luan flapping its wings.]

【Xie Yuan was also very surprised. He just stretched out his hand gently, and Zhao Mingluan on your shoulder turned around and flew to the other side.】

[The pair of bird eyes were filled with disdain for Xie Yuan. ]

[Helan Zhenshu's face turned pale. He was the dignified prince of the grassland, but he was teased by two flat-haired beasts in public! He was so humiliated that he was outshined by Xie Guan, who was of low status.]

【Su Shishi saw this and couldn't help but think, if this Zhaoming Luan is really spiritual and the rumors are true, if the legends are true, then the young man in blue before her is... a truly upright gentleman.】

【Xie Xuan's face was gloomy, and his fists were clenched tightly in his sleeves. If today's events were to spread, many people in Bianjing would believe in the theory of the connection between heaven and man, and Xie Guan would be in the limelight again.】

[Only Song Tingting, who was playing the piano, had bright eyes. ]

[When Cai Huang was about to speak. ]

[Another incident occurred on the field!]

[The female red-crowned bird hovering outside the pavilion also gently landed on Xie Guandui's other shoulder, seeming to be very happy, and let out bursts of clear chirping.]

【"this……"】

[When Cai Huang saw this, she covered her mouth with her bare hands and swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.]

[Liu Yuan's expression remained unchanged. He held the armrest of the wheelchair, which made a slight "squeak" sound, revealing his inner unrest.]

[The two Zhaoming Luans seemed very happy. They stood on the left and right with the White-crowned Male Luan, smelling the scent of Xie Guan and rubbing against the side of Xie Guan's neck affectionately.]

[Su Yun's eyes were complicated, and he was both male and female, a sign of saintly virtue. He was a person of the utmost truth, goodness, and holiness, and was called a natural saint.]

[He looked at the boy in front of him with complicated eyes.]

[There was silence in the field!]

【There are only two divine birds, singing clear and joyful songs. 】

【Xie Yuan exclaimed, "My brother Guan has the potential to be a saint!"】

[Although your expression is normal, there is a hint of surprise in your eyes. ]

[I was wondering why this divine bird was like this.]

What is the reason?

[If you have such a reputation now, it will not be good for you now. ]

[Reputation is the most powerful sword that kills people!]

[The divine bird was born with the saint. The so-called "saint" in Confucian classics should be a person with unparalleled morality and wisdom. 】

【A gentleman should establish virtue, set his ambition, cultivate himself, manage his family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world. He should treasure loyalty and trustworthiness, not compromise his integrity when he sees profit, and be quick in action but slow in speech.】

【There is a saying that the three immortal things are to establish words, establish virtues, and establish merits. 】

【However, there are only a handful of people who have made immortal words, established eternal virtues, and accomplished unprecedented achievements in history, from ancient times to the present. 】

[You think that your virtues and achievements are not as good as those of the King of Yan, and your words are not as good as those of the Master. You are still far from being a saint!]

[You even more don't believe that this bird can really understand the subtle meaning of the "Four Books" and the great principles of the "Five Classics", and can clearly distinguish the principles of human relations, so it must be referring to something else——]

[You remember the Taoist Nanhua Zhenjing which says: "Those who do not depart from the origin are called heavenly men." It means that the true man who has attained the Tao does not depart from the root of creation; it also says: "Take heaven as the origin, virtue as the foundation, and Tao as the door, and foreshadow the changes, and you are called a sage."]

【Heaven and man come together, and they ascend to heaven. 】

[You suddenly realize that the sword energy of the "Nine Swords" gifted by the Second Master still exists in your Dantian. When the master's sword opened the gate of heaven, the sword intent that broke through the nine heavens had already transcended this world. It is exactly the realm of heaven and man that Taoists call "riding the righteousness of heaven and earth, and controlling the debate of the six qi." ]

[Could it be that these two "divine birds" simply sensed the aura of Mr. Er in you?]

[Looking more closely, the two divine birds seem to be pecking at you greedily. ]

[In your heart, nine swords quietly stand upright and rotate, especially the eighth and ninth swords, which shine like the sun and the moon.]

[At this moment, you use the power of the Yuanshen of the Yang Fu Sutra to wrap it, and it begins to gradually fade away and return to darkness.]

[Two Zhaoming Luans are on your shoulders, with a hint of human confusion flashing in their pupils. Their sharp beaks peck at your clothes, as if they are trying to find the mysterious Dao rhythm that suddenly disappeared.]

[After a while, they flapped their wings and flew up, circling for several weeks in front of everyone's astonished gazes. Their wings skimmed across the lake, creating tiny ripples, and finally flew away, disappearing into the misty forests of the distant mountains.]

[The pavilion was silent for a moment, and everyone looked at each other, still not recovering from this sudden change.]

[As you expected, it is true. What these two spiritual birds sensed was never the spirit of Confucian sages, but the trace of the Heavenly Sword Intent that remained in your body when the Second Master opened the Heavenly Gate with his sword.]

[Many people in the world like to make up stories and whenever they encounter something mysterious and difficult to understand, they attribute it to the prophecy of destiny.]

[Although the Master was favored by the male bird, it was not necessarily because of his perfect virtue, but because his cultivation had reached the state of returning to the original state, and his Qi was naturally clear and harmonious.]

[However, they failed to achieve the goal of having two birds at the same time, and they were still a step away from the "heavenly realm". ]

[The atmosphere in the pavilion was subtle, and everyone had different looks. Cai Huang's eyes were filled with doubt and surprise - she had never seen anything like this before.]

[Helan Zhenshu suddenly sneered, "It seems that the divine bird has a keen eye for pearls."]

[Dukong also clasped his hands together and looked relaxed. ]

【Liu Yuan's hand also slowly let go.】

【Su Shishi's face is filled with thought.】

[After all, who can easily accept a saint who suddenly appears and is certified by a divine bird? ]

【Su Yun glanced at everyone's expressions, knowing that the mythical bird theory would never be established, so he laughed out loud and said, "Everyone, since seeing the mythical bird is already an elegant thing, why not continue the elegance? Why not play a flying flower order and make friends with poetry, wouldn't it be fun?"】

【Su Shishi echoed, "This is a wonderful idea. The Rabbit Courtyard is quiet and peaceful, perfect for poetry."】

[The Rabbit Courtyard is located above the pavilion, and one must climb up the stairs along the winding corridor. ] [She pointed to the corridor between the pavilions with a smile, and a maid passed by holding a newly-cut osmanthus, and the fragrance floated in the air. ]

【Flying Flowers is a kind of word game played by scholars when they drink and have fun. It originated from a line of poetry from the Yan Dynasty: "Flowers are flying everywhere in the spring city". It later developed into a drinking game with the word "flower" as the core, and then evolved into a richer form of word game, which does not only refer to "flowers" but can also be about other things. 】

[The most important thing for the postgraduate entrance examination is real talent and knowledge. If someone else writes the poem for you, it will be exposed. ]

[Xie Yuan brushed off his robes, looking indifferent, but he felt sorry for Guandi. If the two birds hadn't flown away just now, it would have been a fun thing.]

[Liu Yuan nodded, "I am glad to see Master Guan's talent today. I am afraid that he will publish some excellent works tomorrow."]

[Cai Huang was still thinking about the incident with the divine bird, and had not yet recovered. She looked at Xie Guan with a hint of curiosity and seriousness.]

[Sure enough, the person who can surpass all the beauties at a banquet by himself is definitely not an ordinary person. ]

[Everyone was about to move when they heard Helan Zhenshu sneer, "What's so interesting about singing to the wind and moon?"]

[My sons and daughters in Changshengtian only respect heroes who ride on iron horses and icy rivers. What’s wrong with such literary activities, chanting day and night? ”]

[Liu Yuan frowned - the rules of this gathering had already been decided, what was the meaning of Helan Zhenshu's sudden opposition?]

【Su Yun saw this and responded sharply: "Prince Helan, this is the land of Da Qi, where scholars are elegant and refined, which is the tradition of our dynasty. It is not like you on the grassland, where you are homeless and eat raw meat and drink blood."】

【Buddhist disciple Dukong laughed and said, "If it is the Flying Flower Order, we have already performed it several times. Today, there is only one more person, Xie Guan. Could it be that Master Yun is testing him and is afraid that he will gain fame in vain?"】

[Su Yun was speechless for a moment after hearing this, and said, "Of course, this is not what I meant."]

[Helan Zhenshu suggested, "Why not let my guests in the mansion do the sword dance?"]

【"How about coming to help everyone have fun?"】

[Li Qinlan readily agreed, as she was not familiar with the fun of Feihualing.]

[Liu Yuan glanced at everyone without saying anything. He tapped the table with his knuckles, and a shadow flashed across his eyes. The divine bird had just landed on Xie Guan's shoulder, and it had left a thorn in the heart of the Sui prince, disturbing his original interest.]

[Su Shishi and Su Yun looked at each other, then at Yu You, "What do you think of the young master being a guest?"]

[You nodded slightly, without making any comment.]

[Helan Zhenshu strode out of the pavilion, and everyone followed him to a clearing paved with bluestone by the lake.]

[But he seemed to be prepared. He clasped his thumb and index finger into a ring, and a loud whistle suddenly sounded.]

[A middle-aged swordsman slowly walked out from the depths of the bamboo forest outside the pavilion.]

[The eight-foot-tall body is wrapped in a plain white suit, like a sword unsheathed in the snow. His black hair is hastily tied up with a hemp rope, his facial features are ordinary, and he holds a long sword in his arms. ]

[What is striking is the hideous scar on the left ear.]

[A pair of eyes, calm and peaceful yet harbouring murderous intent.]

[“Greetings to the Crown Prince Helan, all the gentlemen.” The swordsman saluted with his sword in his arms, his voice as cold as the sound of metal clashing against metal.]

[Helan Zhenshu clapped his hands and laughed: "Pei Feng, today I will let you all see your sword. If you dance well, you will be rewarded handsomely."]

【“Pei Feng?”】

【Xie Yuan looked at the swordsman's half ear, and heard his name again. He suddenly realized what was happening, and his tone became a little more surprised, "Pei Feng from Jianyu Tower?"】

[Helan Zhenshu patted Pei Feng's shoulder, his muscles throbbing under his brocade robe:]

[“Pei Feng, it seems you are very famous.”]

[“Now Coach Pei is a good citizen with a special pardon from the Ministry of Justice, and he is also a guard in my mansion.”]

[Pei Feng still had no expression on his face, only the long sword in his arms made a buzzing sound in its sheath.]

[Xie Yuan whispered beside you, "This man is Pei Feng. He is a well-known figure in the black market of Bianjing. He has a reputation of winning 29 games and is good at using a swift sword."]

[“He was originally a brawler in the market, but by chance he was noticed by the master of Jianyu Tower and was accepted as his disciple.”]

[“However, in order to learn more advanced swordsmanship, he did not hesitate to kill his master and secretly learn the sword skills. The scar on his ear was caused by his master biting his ear before his death.”]

[“Afterwards, he was expelled from the sect and hunted down by the entire Jianyu Tower. But unexpectedly, he eventually wiped out the Jianyu Tower and was responsible for dozens of lives. Therefore, he was hunted down by the Xuanjing Division.”]

[“This matter caused a lot of uproar, and even the academy teacher personally took action to arrest him. But Pei Feng was extremely cunning and escaped several times.”]

[“This guy hides in the black market of Bianjing and makes a living by participating in fighting. He seems to be living a carefree life.” Xie Yuan sighed. ]

[The black market, that place where no one is in charge, is full of human trafficking, murder for hire and other dark things. It is also the source of information. ]

[“I never thought that he would become a lackey of the Prince of Changshengtian, Helan Zhenshu.”]

[You looked at Pei Feng when you heard him. You saw that his right hand, which was holding the sword, had no calluses. However, the sword moved in his hand like a fish, smoothly and without stagnation. You knew that this man was a true master of swordsmanship.]

[If you sense it carefully, this person's strength should be at the sixth level of martial arts. He is only one step away from breaking through to the level of soft and flexible fingers and entering the upper three levels.]

[Although his soul has not been able to be truly restrained, his cultivation should not have reached the middle third realm. ]

[But in the black market of Bianjing, such strength is enough to dominate. ]

[If he had not been hunted by the government, with this strength, he would have been able to join the military register and become a respected warrior.]

[Pei Feng's sword suddenly came out of its sheath. Before he could see the shape of the three-foot-long blade, the cold light had already turned into a white silk thread across the sky. He tapped the bluestone with his toes, his clothes fluttered like the wings of a crane, his body moved quickly, and the sword flowers pierced the waves.]

[Seven silver rays of light suddenly burst out from the tip of the sword, and the sound of breaking through the air was like cracking ice.]

[As his figure passed by, the fallen leaves ten steps away were still floating, but they had already been cut into several pieces by the sword energy and scattered all over the ground.]

[Fast! His sword skills were so fast that it was hard to see the movements. All I could see was a white rainbow piercing the sun and splitting the bluestone slabs on the ground.]

[“What a fast sword!”]

[Li Qinlan, the seventh daughter of the Li family, could not help but admire.]

[She is obsessed with martial arts and has learned from a master in Qingliang Temple. She has reached the fifth level of martial arts, "Spring Thunder". At this moment, she saw Pei Feng's sword flashing like lightning, impenetrable. The sword moves alone have such power. If it is supplemented by sword intent, it must be a cruel means to kill people. ]

[She secretly thought that she might not be able to resist.]

[The courtesans were not interested at all. Compared to Madam Gongsun's graceful sword dance, Pei Feng's swordplay was sharp but lacked the pleasing beauty.]

[Su Yun frowned slightly, feeling that this scene was strange. How could this elegant poetry gathering with wine and wine flowing have turned into such a scene of swordplay?]

【Sudden!】

[The sword energy in the field suddenly turned cold, and Pei Feng's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He turned his wrist, and the long sword returned to the cave like a poisonous snake, and then turned into a white rainbow piercing the sun, piercing a person in the field——]

【Xie Yuan was horrified, "Brother Guan, be careful!"】
