Chapter 239: A Dream in a Dream

Luo Xiujun was a graceful man, and his clear voice echoed throughout the seventh floor, reaching everyone's ears clearly.

These words also drew everyone's attention to Gao Xian.

Yun Qiu Shui naturally stepped aside, allowing Gao Xian to become the real center.

The person who could sit here must be at least a foundation-building cultivator. Dozens of foundation-building cultivators cast their eyes on Gao Xian. Some of them took the opportunity to activate their spiritual sense to see through Gao Xian's true intentions.

The gazes of many foundation-building monks are as real as substance, and they pose a huge pressure to any monk of the same level.

Gao Xian has Sister Lan inside and the Vajra outside, which has made him a strong body. Even if these foundation-building monks attack him at the same time, he is sure to escape, let alone just visual harassment.

By looking at everyone's gaze, Gao Xian could even tell whether their cultivation was real or fake.

Luo Xiujun's magic power was swift and agile, and she was obviously proficient in magic. The other man with sinister eyes had a pure sword spirit in his body, and there was a sharp aura on his left arm, and it was obvious that he was carrying a flying sword.

Apart from these two, the rest of the foundation-building cultivators were nothing. Of course, there were also two Jindan Zhenren, both of whom had a heavy aura that was difficult to measure.

One was the leader, Lu Jingxu, and the other was sitting at the wine table on the east side. He had gray hair on his temples, wore a gray robe, and had a lonely look on his face. He looked like a poor and destitute middle-aged cultivator who had been tortured by fate.

Gao Xian did not know this Jindan Zhenren, but with Sister Lan's magical powers, he could vaguely sense that this person had a magical sword intent that changed like the wind.

This sword intent gave him a very familiar feeling, as if it was very compatible with the Qingfeng sword technique.

The one who created the Qingfeng Sword was Yuanying Zhenjun. This line of inheritance has not been broken, so it is not surprising that someone can condense a golden elixir using the Qingfeng Sword technique.

Gao Xian couldn't help but develop a strong interest in this Jindan. If he could get his guidance, his Qingfeng swordsmanship might be able to improve further.

However, he could vaguely sense that this person disliked him, but he didn't know why.

With his powerful spiritual sense and the super-fast reaction enabled by the Thunder and Lightning Method, Gao Xian instantly saw the situation of everyone present clearly and classified them.

Gao Xian calmly bowed to Luo Xiujun and said, "I am not very knowledgeable and I am not qualified to judge right or wrong for you two Taoist friends."

When everyone heard this, they all felt that Gao Xian was trying to smooth things over, or that he really couldn't come up with any brilliant ideas, and many people looked at him with disdain.

For a person who is valued so much by Yun Qiu Shui, this is all!

Li Feihuang's bright eyes flickered. She always felt that Gao Xian was sinister and deep. These words must be Gao Xian's deliberate attempt to confuse everyone so that others would look down on him!

Lu Jingxu, who was leading the discussion, did not rush to make a judgment. He felt that Gao Xian was calm and composed, and even if he could not come up with any surprising insights, he would not be so foolish.

Luo Xiujun's lips curled up slightly, with a smug look on her face.

With just one sentence, he made the conflict between Zhang and Lu clear, and then dragged Gao Xian out and stepped on him, making a big show in front of everyone. It can be said that he killed three birds with one stone.

This gathering to discuss scriptures and Dharma is to let everyone show their abilities. If they are noticed by Lu Jingxu or other real people in the sect, even if they cannot win the first prize in the Dharma meeting, they can still enter the sect and become a true disciple.

Lu Shidao and Zhang Zhengxin both saw Luo Xiujun's plot, and they were both very unhappy.

Unfortunately, Gao Xian's level of competence was low, and the vague words he spoke not only revealed his cowardice, but also lowered the level of both of them.

Lu Shidao was proud of his elegance, refinement and extraordinary intelligence. If he had not given face to Yun Qiu Shui, he would have interrupted Gao Xian long ago.

Seeing Gao Xian had made a fool of himself, he felt a little relieved. This man looked handsome, but he turned out to be a hollow bamboo.

He said: "Everyone has their own eyes. The right faith has its own views, and I have my own views. There are only differences, but there is no superiority or inferiority or right or wrong."

In order to show their closeness, Lu Shidao deliberately called the other person by his name. He also said that the two sides were just arguing about the truth and there was no conflict.

Zhang Zhengxin did not agree with Lu Shidao's words, but since Luo Xiujun was instigating him, he would not be used as a gun by Luo Xiujun.

Since Master Lu's words sounded nice, he acquiesced. As for Gao Xian, he was a useless person.

If he were to speak, he would overturn the opinions of both of them, show his own superiority, and steal the limelight.

Luo Xiujun felt that Lu Shidao was quite quick-witted and his words were appropriate, so she shouldn't instigate him any further.

He smiled and said, "Brother Daoist Lu said it well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder."

Luo Xiujun helped Gao Xian explain with a sympathetic look: "Fellow Daoist Gao may not have read The Story of the Yellow Millet Dream, so it's hard for me to comment on it."

Gao Xian smiled but said nothing. He actually didn't want to be in the spotlight. This topic was his strong point, so it was easy for him to be in the spotlight.

If we change the subject, he might not be able to explain it clearly.

Besides, even though he couldn't defeat a Jindan Zhenren, he could easily deal with a group of foundation-building cultivators. Well, except for Yun Qiushui!

As long as he swept everyone away at the Qingyun Dharma Assembly, all the gossip would be swept away.

This is also considered as first suppressing and then praising! Let them be proud for a few days first, then make them cry!

Gao Xian was not interested in showing his face, but Yun Qiushui could not bear it. He said loudly: "Brother Luo, what you said is wrong. Although the world is big, no one knows "The Dream of the Yellow Millet" better than Brother Gao."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. This was such a big statement.

Luo Xiujun found it a little funny: "No one knows The Dream of the Yellow Millet better than Daoist Gao. Could it be that he wrote this book?"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Yun Qiu Shui nodded calmly, and the muscles on his face suddenly froze.

Everyone present was surprised. Apart from the illustrations, the text and poetry in "The Dream of the Yellow Millet" are all first-rate. In particular, the artistic conception is profound and profound, which shows the wisdom of a person who has experienced the affairs of the world.

Although Zhang Zhengxin said that the book was obscene, he was actually dissatisfied with the book being sold under the name of Zhenjun. He said this to please Qingyun Sect.

In his heart, he actually recognized the level of this book.

It is surprising that at such a young age, he could write such a book.

Yun Qiu Shui smiled proudly at the side, looking very proud of himself.

He really thought that the book was of such high quality that it could be passed down to later generations, and it was very impressive! As for the illustrations, they were just Gao Xian's little fun, teasing everyone.

If not, why would Gao Xian paint that kind of picture! He is not short of money! Facing the various surprised and suspicious eyes of the crowd, Gao Xian was still a little embarrassed even though he was prepared.

In his previous life, doing this kind of illustration was a crime! The consequences were quite serious! He was somewhat resistant to it... He didn't want to admit in public that he was the author.

But Yun Qiu Shui had already said it, and he couldn't let Yun Qiu Shui embarrass herself.

Gao Xian could only nod slightly, "It's just a game, I'm sorry to make you laugh."

Yun Qiushui added: "My good friend is too modest. I present this book to the True Lord. After reading it, the True Lord commented with eight words: 'Extraordinary talent and unique style'."

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

Everyone was shocked after hearing this. It was rumored that Zhenjun had read this book, but it was just a rumor after all, so everyone was skeptical.

With Yun Qiu Shui's identity, there was certainly no need for her to lie, let alone fabricate a story about the True Lord.

Luo Xiujun looked a little ugly, and Zhang Zhengxin also looked a little ugly.

Yun Qiu Shui's words made their faces swollen.

Although Lu Shidao was not slapped in the face, he felt uncomfortable seeing Gao Xian stealing the show.

Especially since Yun Qiushui was so partial to Gao Xian, he felt uncomfortable. He thought Yun Qiushui was his good friend! Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Lu Jingxu, the host, smiled and said, "Since Mr. Gao is the author, that's great. You can explain the true meaning of the book to us."

Yun Qiushui praised Gao Xian so much, so of course he had to cooperate. Moreover, he really wanted to hear Gao Xian's brilliant insights.

Gao Xian knew very well that what the author wrote could be interpreted in many ways, and many of these interpretations actually had nothing to do with what the author wanted to express.

Even if the original author comes out to express his creative ideas, many readers will feel that it does not conform to their interpretation and will denounce the author for making nonsense interpretations!

He wanted to give an answer that everyone would agree with, which was actually very difficult.

Moreover, with standard answers, the book loses its prestige. A good book is one that is full of mystery and allows everyone to interpret it in their own way.

Gao Xian said: "Buddha said that all living beings have true spirituality, which is perfect and self-sufficient. However, acquired knowledge and experience will become various obstacles, obscuring the true spirituality of living beings, so people are divided into thousands of kinds.

"Everyone has their own understanding of the true Dharma and supernatural powers. If a small story can make everyone laugh, that's good enough."

Lu Jingxu also laughed. Gao Xian was really smooth and his words were flawless. But in this way, he inevitably lost some of his charm and it was difficult for people to admire him.

It's a pity that Yun Qiushui is trying so hard to praise him! Although everyone didn't say it, they were actually quite disappointed with Gao Xian's performance.

Gao Xian added: "My story can actually be explained by a poem..."

Lu Shidao asked: "But this feeling can be recalled, but it was already gone at that time?"

He was just saying this poem and really hoped to get Gao Xian's approval.

Gao Xian shook his head: "This poem is suitable for the story, but it is not the main theme of this book."

He chanted softly: "My floating life is temporarily enclosed in a dream within a dream, and my heart will be a lamp to help me through thousands of calamities."

Without waiting for others to react, Yun Qiushui clapped his hands and praised: "Good poem, good poem!"

Yun Qiushui laughed out loud: "Brother Gao is very talented. I admire you."

Gao Xian cupped his hands and said, "Brother Yun, thank you for your compliment. I don't deserve it."

The two of them sang in unison, leaving everyone speechless.

On the other hand, all the foundation-building cultivators present were well versed in writing and could see that this poem had some artistic conception.

Even though they felt uncomfortable, they had to admit that Gao Xian was indeed talented.

Lu Jingxu also nodded: "Life is temporarily entrusting to a dream within a dream, and my heart will be a lamp to help me through thousands of calamities. What a great poem!"

He said leisurely: "Only by using the heart as a lamp can we illuminate ourselves in this dreamlike life. This is the true nature of cultivators of our generation..."

Jindan Zhenren praised them. Although they could not give face to Gao Xianyun Qiushui, they could not not give face to Lu Jingxu. They immediately responded and praised...

Regardless of whether everyone was sincere or not, Gao Xian became the undisputed center of attention and stole the limelight.

In the following time, the crowd lost interest in discussing the sutras and the Dharma. Occasionally, someone would embarrass Gao Xian, but Gao Xian would always humbly decline the offer, and the crowd would not force him.

When this sutra discussion meeting was over, Gao Xian became famous and became the most famous person in Qingyun City for a while...
