Pawn Crossing the River

As the eight snake heads crashed to the ground, the body of Yamata no Orochi began to petrify rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a weird stone mountain. The wound on its abdomen just turned into a deep cave. Above the stone mountain, there are clouds and mist constantly emerging.

The reason why the Taoist sect was able to kill the Yamata-no-Orochi this time was mainly due to calculated calculations and careful planning beforehand. It dispatched two "Yinglong" ships, four pseudo-immortals, two creation gods, and four immeasurables. The celestial beings and several other celestial beings arranged the formation in advance, using one immortal item and seven semi-immortal items, and also used something that was hard to find such as "Shebi Corpse Poison". What's more important is that after Yamato no Orochi came back from the dead, his strength dropped drastically just like Tamamo no Mae.

If this doesn't kill it, then there is no justice.

Jiachen Lingguan looked up at the stone mountain transformed by the Yamata no Orochi, feeling a little disappointed: "Is it gone now? The dragon that the imperial master killed, the dragon beads, dragon horns, dragon beards, dragon scales, dragon tendons, and dragon meat, But they’re all treasures, and there’s nothing left of this weird snake?”

Yao Pei said: "After all, they are resurrected from the dead. There is only rotten flesh on the zombies. Of course there is a treasure on the Yamata-no-Orochi, which is the 'Tian Cong Yun Sword', one of the three major artifacts. It is not inferior to the dragon's skin, and is even better." , but it was taken away by Su Zhanwu Zun a long time ago.”

Jiachen Lingguan sighed, feeling very sorry.

After killing the Yamata no Orochi, there are many follow-ups, such as promoting the Taoist sect to eliminate harm for the people, demonstrating the Taoist sect's illustrious martial arts, and frightening the remnants of the Zunbang sect. However, it is difficult for Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu to participate in it anymore. After all, they have to continue to rest. . So the two of them just had to wait for their merits to be recorded. With Yao Pei as his niece, Qi Xuansu was not too worried.

…

This news quickly spread within the Taoist sect. For people in the Taoist sect, it is nothing new for the national master to kill the dragon. Isn't it natural? But it is very remarkable that four young people in the infinite stage participated in the siege and successfully killed an immortal-level demon.

Don't worry about whether this big demon is in its prime, just ask you whether it is in the immortality stage.

In the West, this kind of behavior would be called "killing gods."

After going through many difficulties and dangers, the brave men finally worked together to defeat the evil god Orochi, which was enough to be sung by future generations and become an epic.

Master Cihang walked into the gate of Tiangang Hall. Along the way, there were many fewer people visible to the naked eye. These people had all gone to Fenglinzhou battlefield.

Master Cihang serves as the headmaster of Tiangang Hall and is not responsible for directing the war.

The specific difference between the real person in charge of the Tiangang Hall and the real person in charge of the army lies in the internal and external aspects.

When there is peace and no war, the real person in charge of the Tiangang Hall is responsible for the daily management, construction, and training of the team of spiritual officials. He has personnel rights and can decide the promotion of spiritual officials.

This is the basis of the three halls. Ziweitang controls the personnel power of Taoist priests, and Tiangangtang controls the personnel power of spiritual officials. Therefore, Ziweitang is the first of the nine halls, and Tiangangtang is the second of the nine halls, one for civil and one for martial arts. Beichen Hall is a special supervisory agency, like a sharp sword hanging over everyone's head. It monitors Taoist priests and spiritual officials internally, eliminates traitors, collects intelligence externally, provides intelligence and consultation to Jinque's senior officials, and provides information and consultation on certain special occasions. Sometimes, some targeted assassinations will also be carried out. At the same time, Beichen Hall also has the function of maintaining public security in Yujing, so Beichen Hall is different from Fengxian Hall.

In short, during the peace period, the real person in charge of Tiangang Hall had a greater influence on the spiritual officials.

When wartime comes, the real person in charge of the army will take over the full command with the authorization of Jin Que, and the real person in charge of the army will be responsible for all relevant matters.

Theoretically, all Shenzhi Masters can take up the temporary position of Commander in Chief, including the Master of Tiangang Hall. However, the Master of Tiangang Hall is generally not allowed to serve as the Master of the Army to avoid power imbalance.

The structure of the Taoist sect is designed to restrict each other. The real person in charge of the Tiangang Hall has the right to manage but not to command, and the real person in charge of the army has the right to command but not the right to manage.

Of course, this also has disadvantages. It is easy to know the soldiers without knowing the generals, and the generals without knowing the soldiers. However, there is no perfect system in this world, and there must always be choices.

Because of this, after the war started, Master Cihang did not interfere too much in the Fenglinzhou war. He only learned about the situation on the front line from various battle reports.

It's not that Master Cihang is indifferent to this, but as a senior member of the Taoist sect, he has already known about this war, especially after the national master personally ended the battle, there is no suspense anymore, all he has to do is wait for the result. Keeping abreast of the situation on the front lines every day is nothing more than a routine matter.

Last night, Master Cihang met two people one after another.

The first person was Zhang Jucheng. He succeeded Xu Chou as the real person in charge of Jiangnan Daofu. However, Xu Chou only took office after the first major Jiangnan case. So much to say. The person who really has the ability to influence Jiangnan Province is the old master of the palace, Cihang Cihang. Zhang Yuelu was able to solve the major Jiangnan case, and Cihang's support was crucial. This is also the embodiment of Cihang's influence on Jiangnan Province. Just because Master Cihang is obviously weaker than Master Donghua and Master Qingwei, we cannot think that she is not a powerful person. No matter how you say it, she is the third person in Jinque.

Zhang Jucheng naturally had to communicate with Master Cihang before taking office. Both of them belong to the Zhengyi camp and are old acquaintances. It is not about worshiping the mountain. Master Cihang will definitely give his full support to Zhang Jucheng, but this time You still have to have an attitude, and it’s best to say many things openly and honestly.

In addition, Zhang Jucheng, as the future patriarch of the Zhang family, also talked about Zhang Yuelu's marriage with Master Cihang. After all, Zhang Yuelu was still Cihang's apprentice. In the Taoist sect, master and disciple have always been like father and son, especially after Zhang Yuelu was determined to be the successor of Master Cihang. They are like mother and son. In terms of emotions and reasons, the Zhang family cannot get around Master Cihang, and they must seek help from Cihang. According to Master Hang's opinion, it is more reasonable for Master Cihang to intervene in Zhang Yuelu's marriage. Otherwise, why would Qiniang find Master Cihang instead of someone else?

After Zhang Jucheng left, the second person Cihang saw was naturally Qiniang.

As prospective in-laws, the two still talked about their children's marriage. After all, the negotiation failed last time and ended on bad terms, so we have to continue talking.

With Master Cihang's status, she naturally wouldn't care about how much money she spent. Even if Qiniang didn't take a penny, she wouldn't get too entangled. The key issue was Qi Xuansu's identity.

Although the word "gamble" sounds unpleasant, many things are like this. Taiping Dao is gambling, and Zhengyiyi is also gambling. Both Cihang and Tianshi have bet on Zhang Yuelu and plan to fully support her in her fight for the eighth place. Naturally, there cannot be any mistakes in the esteemed position of the acting headmaster.

To put it bluntly, in the eyes of Master Cihang, Qiniang’s surname is Yao and she is a person of Quanzhen Taoism. Although Zhengyi Dao and Quanzhen Dao are allies, this alliance is not so solid. If Taiping Dao is defeated, the two families will fight against each other next. You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must not have the intention of guarding against others. Regarding Qi Xuansu’s Qingpinghui identity, what they are guarding against is not the Li family of Taiping Taoism, but the Yao family of Quanzhen Taoism. After all, Qi Xuansu’s surname is not Yao. If the critical moment comes, Quanzhen Taoism will treat Qi Xuansu as an abandoned son and use Qi Xuansu to drag Zhang Yuelu down. As a result, Yao Pei came to power, and Cihang would regret it for the rest of his life.

The two talked all night, like a peasant woman bargaining for vegetables, and finally reached a preliminary consensus. Qi Xuansu can temporarily retain the status of Qingpinghui, but he must leave Qingpinghui at the right time. As for when is the right time, we will have to discuss it later.

Other than that, it’s all about the minutiae. Qiniang promised that after Qi Xuansu returns from Fenglinzhou, she will start looking for a place to live in Taishangfang in Yujing, starting within a hundred years.

As for the frame-up matter, Qiniang also promised that it has been resolved, and then it is time for revenge. As for how it was resolved, Master Cihang didn't ask, and Qiniang didn't tell either.

Because of these things, Master Cihang came a little later today. When he walked into the signing room, he found that the secretary had put a copy of the Di newspaper on the table.

Master Cihang picked up the newspaper and glanced at it.

Her eyes suddenly stopped and her expression changed subtly.

At this moment, Master Cihang's young disciple, the closed disciple, walked in.

The full name of "Junior Sister Xiao" in Zhang Yuelu's mouth is Xiao Yueru. If Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu are already at the end of the eighth generation of disciples, then this girl is almost on the edge of the last year. A few months later, she will be He is about to be classified as a ninth generation disciple.

Just like a parent, Master Cihang values ​​Zhang Yuelu the most, followed by Bai Yingqiong, and his favorite is his young apprentice. Valuing and liking are two attitudes. One is to support the family and hold the power, the other is to enjoy the pampering of parents and be a wealthy and idle person.

Therefore, Xiao Yueru was very relaxed and casual in front of Master Cihang. Seeing Master Cihang staring at the Di newspaper in his hand, he couldn't help but curiously asked: "Master, what happened over there in Fenglinzhou?"

Master Cihang looked away: "Your senior sister has made meritorious deeds again."

Xiao Yueru asked again: "Do you have a brother-in-law?"

Master Cihang smiled and said, "Where can you find a brother-in-law?"

Xiao Yueru said: "I have heard that the senior sister has already arranged a marriage and brought Deputy Hall Master Qi home to meet the Heavenly Master. He is not just a brother-in-law."...

Master Cihang could only say: "Okay, of course there is your brother-in-law. In addition to the two of them, there are also Yao Pei from the Quanzhen Dao and Li Changge from the Taiping Dao. They participated in killing a great demon in the immortal stage."

Xiao Yueru couldn't help but open her mouth wide, unable to hide her surprise.

"The stage of immortality?"

"Big demon?"

"Kill?"

Although she has never seen a great demon in the immortal stage, she knows what this concept is. Even if Master Cihang takes action himself, she cannot guarantee that it will be 100% sure.

Are these people really eighth generation disciples? Are you sure you're not a seventh-generation disciple? She is also an eighth-generation disciple, but she is not even a celestial being. The gap between people is too big.

Master Cihang said: "Of course not the four of them can do it. There are also four false immortals and two creation gods."

Xiao Yueru still hadn't fully recovered from the shock, and said: "Even so, it's amazing, especially the brother-in-law, who can come from behind. If you ask me, from now on, we should not be called the third show of the Taoist clan, but the fourth show of the Taoist clan." The scholar is right.”
