Pawn Crossing the River

Chapter 73 Prosthetic Eyes and Stone Heart

The ceremony was not grand, and it could even be said to be simple to a certain extent.

Apart from the host Qi Xuansu and the guest Shangguanya, there were only three people, namely Han Yongfeng who was involved in the matter, Ke Qingqing who was responsible for various chores, and Lu Yuting from Huashengtang.

It can be said that these three people are Qi Xuansu's confidants. Although Lu Yuting is from Taiping Dao, she can also be trusted. Just like Wang Jiaohe, although he is a Quanzhen Taoist, he cannot be trusted at all. The Three Paths is a big concept. If the three paths are truly distinct and monolithic, and the three major camps are completely opposed to the extreme, then there will be no such thing as me among you and you among me.

In fact, the truth is not complicated. For Lu Yuting, what are the benefits of having Taiping Dao in her mind? Li Changge would not treat her differently. There were too many people from the dragon, and it was impossible for her to take her turn. Qi Xuansu is different. He lacks the foundation and manpower. Following Qi Xuansu is a big gamble. Once the bet is right, he will reach the sky in one step.

The key point is that there is no need to bear a moral burden. The dispute between the three Taoists does not involve the interests of the family and the country. They are both Taoist disciples, and there is no real hatred of life and death. Even the Three Daos themselves are the ones that Xuan Sheng wanted to abolish but did not have time to do so. Its existence itself may not be very reasonable.

The fundamental reason is that during the period of competition in the world, some powerful forces have so many talents that they no longer have a place. If you want to get ahead, the best way is to join some people who have not yet made a fortune and can quickly rise to the core.

In the same way, Lu Yuting can only be regarded as a marginal figure within Taiping Dao, and it is difficult to meet Li Changge. But Qi Xuansu can deeply participate in some of Qi Xuansu's decisions. Now she has been promoted to the chief director of the Huasheng Hall branch. Regardless of life-saving grace, she will be loyal to Qi Xuansu for her own future and interests.

As for the Lu family, they are even more happy to see the results. Big families are accustomed to making multiple bets so that they can remain prosperous. It is true that the Lu family boarded the chariot of the Li family, but it does not prevent the Lu family from spending some time elsewhere to light up the cold stove. Since Lu Yuting got in touch with Qi Xuansu by chance, then they naturally Pretend not to know and let Lu Yuting develop it.

In the world, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst.

Although it seems that the Li family has a great advantage now, who can be sure until the last minute? What if, what if Qi Xuansu gets lucky, God favors him, Taoist ancestors bless him, Xuansheng favors him, plus fortune tricks people, Taoist sect's three shows will be defeated every time, allowing him to get a big advantage. Until then, the Lu family will still have to count on Lu Yuting.

This is how big families survive. They have enough confidence to try and make mistakes, and they also have enough capital to guarantee the bottom line. They will not put all their eggs in one basket. On the other hand, people from grassroots backgrounds have no chance of trial and error, and no guarantee of capital. They can only identify one path and then go to the dark side. If you make the right bet, you will rise to great heights and become a wealthy family. If you make a wrong bet, everything will be in vain and there will be no recovery.

In fact, this is still the case at Qi Xuansu's level. Zhang Yuelu was defeated, the Zhang family was still the Zhang family. Li Changge lost, but the Li family was still the Li family. Yao Pei was defeated, the Yao family was still the Yao family. Even if these three people lose, they can still serve as deputy head master Da Zhenren and Pingzhang Da Zhenren with the support of their families. Qi Xuansu no longer has such confidence. Once he loses, he is defeated and there is no way out.

When will the pawns who cross the river be able to turn back?

The reason why Master Donghua uses Qi Xuansu is to move forward in an indomitable way.

Take a seat each

Finally, Shangguan Ya took off his curtain hat, revealing his true appearance.

I have to say that the half of her face that is intact is really beautiful. Compared with the other half, it is not even inferior to Li Qingnu. As for the other half of the face that is not so intact, it is really scary. In the legendary Asura clan, the men are extremely ugly and the women are extremely beautiful. These two characteristics appear simultaneously on Shangguan Ya's face.

Han Yongfeng had already seen it before, so he wasn't that surprised. Ke Qingqing and Lu Yuting were surprised.

Shangguanya obviously doesn't care about her appearance, nor does she care about other people's comments about her. The reason why she wears a hood is because she is afraid that her special appearance will attract too much attention from others and is not conducive to hiding her identity. The main reason why she takes off the hood is It's inconvenient - Qi Xuansu has already raised his glass.

Qi Xuansu was not impressed by Shangguan Ya's appearance.

If there was any emotion of surprise, he didn’t even raise an eyebrow, he just raised his glass and toasted: "Fellow Taoist Shangguan has come from afar, I want to toast you."

Shangguanya raised his wine glasses, clinked them together, and drank them all in one gulp.

Ke Qingqing and Lu Yuting didn't know Shangguanya's identity. They heard Qi Xuansu say that he was a Taoist friend, and fell into Han Yongfeng's misunderstanding. They only thought that Shangguanya was a Taoist disciple. The Taoist sect is so big that even the Taoist people and spiritual officials have 30 million disciples, so it makes sense that they don’t know each other.

Strictly speaking, the Eight Tribes are indeed Taoist disciples. They just broke away from the Taoist system, but they did not deny the Taoist sect, let alone Taoist Ancestor and Xuansheng. If we really want to analyze it according to the genealogy of seniority, it can be matched. For example, Shangguan Ya, she is from the "teaching" generation.

Shangguan Ya put down his wine glass and said, "Qiniang often mentions the Qi C ban banquet."

"Really? What did Qiniang say about me?" Qi Xuansu asked with a smile. He was not afraid of exposing Qiniang's existence. After all, Qiniang paid for his house. The key to checking it accurately is whether there is anyone there. Go check it out. After all, Qiniang is connected to the Earth Master. Checking the Qiniang is the Earth Master, and the Earth Master is going to war against Quanzhen Tao.

Shangguan Yadao: "It can be seen that Qiniang is still proud of Qi Cixi, and considers Qi Cixi as her pride."

Ke, Han, and Lu each exchanged a look. The three of them had vaguely heard that Qi Cixian had a foster mother, and her background was very big. How big was it? As far as Ke Qingqing knows, Master Donghua also needs to treat each other with courtesy. This is also the key to why Qi Cixi is in a high position at a young age. Otherwise, no matter how talented Qi Cixi is, he would not be able to climb to such a high position.

It seems that this foster mother is the "Qiniang" in the two people's mouth.

Qi Xuansu was slightly surprised when he heard this. After all, Qiniang rarely praised him. He didn't expect that Qiniang actually had a different face in front of outsiders.

Perhaps, when Qiniang first chose him, she didn't expect him to move so fast.

Qi Xuansu was slightly absent-minded: "That's right."

Shangguanya's prosthetic eye hidden behind the lens rotated slightly, shining with a faint light, as if he was observing the surroundings.

The Eight Tribes believe that they can inherit the orthodoxy of the creation project better than Huashengtang, and are more radical than Huashengtang. Naturally, their methods should not be underestimated. This "prosthetic eye" actually has a lot of mystery. Compared with the "relegated immortal" "The Immortal's Qi-Wang Technique" is even worse.

At this time, Shangguan Ya had two perspectives, one was a normal perspective, and the other was a metaphysical perspective.

In this metaphysical perspective, everyone has a different color, and the depth of their realm can be judged based on the depth of the color.

Han Yongfeng, the color is red, this

It means that he is a warrior, the color is slightly lighter, very close to the true red color, but it is not true red yet, and there is a bit of orange color left, which means that he is not a celestial warrior, but probably a nine-story building in the return to true stage.

Lu Yuting's color is cyan, which means that she is an alchemist. The color is also slightly lighter, which means that she has not yet become a heavenly being and is in the stage of returning to her true form.

Ke Qingqing's color is earthy yellow, which means that she is a Qi practitioner, and her level of cultivation is slightly lower than the other two, but considering that she is younger, it is reasonable.

In addition, Wu Zhu is golden and Sanren is white.

The color of the immortals is black, which is the color of heaven and earth, and yellow is the color of earth.

The key lies in Qi Xuansu. Shangguan Ya originally thought that Qi Xuansu would be black, that is, a banished immortal.

She never expected that Qi Xuansu was a combination of six colors: red, white, blue, black, yellow, and gold. Although the shades of each color were not consistent, which meant there were strengths and weaknesses, they were basically superior to heaven and humans.

Shangguan Ya was completely shocked when she saw this situation for the first time. What is this?

There are only two acquired immortals in such a large Taoist sect. Huashengtang does preserve a "Heart of Immortality Stone", but it is not awarded to anyone. As a reference and counterfeit sample, it is tightly sealed by Huashengtang. Li Changge's "Heart of Immortality Stone" comes from the generations of the Li family. Qi Xuansu's "Heart of Immortality Stone" comes from Lingshan Cave Heaven. Qiniang's identity is so

Many people will not tell the truth to the eight tribes, so even Shangguan Ya did not react immediately.

However, the Eight Tribes inherited the Creation Project from back then, and the secrets they mastered were far beyond what others could match. Shangguan Ya, as the deputy leader, also knew more than others, so she quickly thought of the Creation Project. Couldn't help but "peep" Qi Xuansu further.

So Shangguan Ya increased the power of the prosthetic eye, and the light from the prosthetic eye became more intense. The light was absorbed by the lenses of her glasses and did not cause much movement.

From Shangguan Ya's metaphysical perspective, Qi Xuansu, filled with six colors of light, is further deconstructed, as if an invisible hand lifts those colors away and points directly to its core.

After clearing the "fog", Shangguan Ya glimpsed part of the truth.

There is a stone full of ancient atmosphere and carved with various totem patterns at the center of Qi Xuansu's heart.

This stone is alive, "beating" like a heart. In other words, beating is not appropriate to describe it. It is more like the uninterrupted repetitive motion of celestial bodies and stars following a certain pattern.

There is no doubt that this is an extremely clever creation.

If you look closely, you will see that there are illusory acupoints on the stone, which condense the false body and spirit, and simulate the most realistic warrior body and spirit by making the fake appear real. At the same time, it is the middle Dantian of the Qi Refiner, connecting the previous and the following, and even partially functions as the Upper Dantian.

[In view of the general environment,

This was beyond Shangguan Ya's understanding.

However, this also reminded Shangguan Ya of a legend. In ancient times, witch doctors of witchcraft could use stones to replace hearts when they saved people. As long as the person whose heart is being replaced believes that his or her stone heart is real, then this heart can replace the damaged heart. But once someone reveals this, or the person whose heart has been changed finds out that his heart is fake, the stone heart will turn back into an ordinary stone, and the person who has the heart changed will die on the spot.
