Pawn Crossing the River

The two immortals came and went in a hurry. Everything was calm again.

Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu stood on the sea, looking at each other speechlessly.

They seem to have achieved their goals, but they don't seem to be quite as expected. After all, Wu Guangbi was not dead, and Li Tianzhen did not know where he had gone.

It can only be said to be unsatisfactory, almost satisfactory. At least it achieved the minimum goal and severely damaged Wu Guangbi, making him unable to come out to cause trouble for Qi Xuansu in a short period of time. It also gave Wu Guangbi a warning. There is a price to pay for blocking Qi Xuansu's way. Before taking action next time, consider whether you can bear the price.

After tonight, the leader of Wu Da Dao should learn to think twice before acting.

Madam Bai did not stay too long and returned directly to the Ghost Kingdom Cave Heaven.

The two returned to Dragon Scale Island. At this time, Dragon Scale Island was in a mess. The guards took advantage of the chaos to escape, and some people died in the aftermath of the fight between the two sides.

The false cultivation gained from the "Hira Sutra" is dissipating, causing the two of them to return to the immeasurable stage.

However, this was the first time that the two of them used the "Xirui Sutra" in a short period of time, so the backlash was not big and was still within the tolerable range.

Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu came to the beach side by side.

The entire Dragon Scale Island is a good place to "recuperate", so there are some things like deck chairs on the beach, and they were able to survive. The two of them found two deck chairs side by side. Instead of lying down, they sat facing each other. Down.

"There is always a feeling that all the hard work is in vain." Qi Xuansu sighed, "I broke up with Patriarch Jin Gong and got such a result that is neither good nor bad."

Zhang Yuelu was more optimistic: "Looking at the bright side, after what happened tonight, there is almost no resistance from the 'Tianting' side. Although Grandmaster Jin Gong is powerful, Master Jiang Da is holding him down. Wu Guangbi was seriously injured, and for a moment There is no way to cause trouble. As for Liu Gui, he will definitely be very satisfied with this cooperation."

"By the way, you mentioned Liu Gui, you can talk about it carefully." Qi Xuansu also became more energetic, "To deal with the 'Tianting', we can't use force, we have to divide them. Wu Guangbi, the dignified pseudo-immortal, is willing to follow After being around Li Changge and Li Tianzhen, he must have the support of the Li family, so Liu Gui, who is opposed to Wu Guangbi, can no longer move closer to the Li family. In order to compete with Wu Guangbi, Liu Gui must seek foreign aid. We can be his foreign aid. , this cooperation has laid a good foundation. At least we have shown enough strength to Liu Gui, making Liu Gui believe that we have strong capital to support him, and he will not be in trouble with us without 'Tianting'. If you disrupt the situation, it will be much easier to capture the Nanyang United Trading Company."

Zhang Yuelu is not a pedantic person. She has understood very early that there is no absolute justice, and there is no way to succeed alone. She must unite all the forces that can be united, so she does not object to Qi Xuansu's proposal: "We can't openly support Liu Gui, but I can ask Star Master Yuheng to come forward and continue to contact Liu Gui."

Qi Xuansu nodded: "You are right, we don't have to come forward, we just need to let Liu Gui know that Zhengyiyi and Quanzhen Tao can support him when necessary, and we can have more cooperation like this in the future."

Since Taipingdao has chosen the "Tianting" model instead of the Qingpinghui and Ziguangshe models, this situation is inevitable. When there are many people, thoughts become complicated and easily penetrated. The Taoist sect is not immune, not to mention the "Heavenly Court". The influence of Qingping Society and Ziguang Society is smaller, but they are also more secretive and difficult to be penetrated. They each have their own strengths.

After the two discussed some details, they gradually stopped talking.

After all the strange phenomena disappeared, the moon and stars were sparse, and there was only the sound of waves, which created a unique artistic conception.

The atmosphere between the two gradually became ambiguous.

However, the two of them were quasi-Taoist couples, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about.

Qi Xuansu said softly: "Qingxiao, it seems that we haven't been alone like this for a long time."

"It's been some time." Zhang Yuelu said, "I have been very busy. I went to Fenglinzhou and Borneo. When I am free, you are not free. When you are free, I am not free."

Qi Xuansu sighed with emotion: "That's it, running around non-stop. Thinking about it carefully, we are not as good as Li Tianzhen who knows how to enjoy it. He also knows how to take a break from the busy work and live in such a good place for a period of time. We use the signed room as our home all day long, and we are like crazy." Same."

Zhang Yuelu said: "Power makes people obsessed, and the real people of Jinque inspire you so much. The third rank, the second rank, the second rank, the first rank, one wave after another, makes your desires rise one after another, and you can only keep going. The pursuit of greater power, the pursuit of one peak after another, is what it is.”

Qi Xuansu did not refute.

The taste of power was indeed wonderful, and it even made him forget his other desires.

In the past, he liked money and would be amazed when he saw a beautiful woman. Now he has no desires and desires. He regards money as dirt and women as skeletons. Has his consciousness suddenly improved? Of course not, it's just that there are greater desires that cover up other desires.

Master Qi Haoran once told Qi Xuansu that generally speaking, men will pursue three things, in order of difficulty, from difficult to easy: power, strength, and women.

Among them, the most attractive thing for men is power.

Some people may say that it should be strength.

In fact, this is not the case. The fundamental reason why many people gain strength is to seize power.

If you have power but don't need power, it's actually quite meaningless. It's like a person who has the cultivation of an immortal all over the world and then lives in seclusion all day long, treating everyone equally and not being above others. For most people, For humans, this kind of life is very boring and not desirable. If you blindly pursue power without understanding or disdain the realization of power, you will become a martial arts idiot.

What more people like is that the stars are holding the moon, and if you say a word, the people below will speculate in various ways. If you express your opinion casually, the people below will be frightened. Even as soon as he shows up, there are countless compliments, exclamations, praises, as well as all kinds of flattery, servility, etc.

Not to mention, with a single order, the world and the world can be changed to realize one's own ambitions.

The essence of power is to control others.

And it’s better to let others be controlled willingly.

This is something that power cannot directly obtain.

Strength is a shortcut and means to obtain power, but it cannot be equated with power.

Because of this, power is so fascinating. It can be embodied in many things, such as the country, the world, ambition, or the identity of a great leader, pope, emperor, etc.

This is incomparable to women and money.

In other words, having power also possesses these.

In the same way, gaining power is also the most difficult. ..

Throughout the ages, countless people have died in the pursuit of power, and only a handful of people can reach the top. Now Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu are also walking on this road. No matter what they want to do after getting power, whether it is to save the world, whether it is to bring trouble to the world, whether it is to solve the problem of the common people, or whether they are seeking pleasure, in short, they have to get rid of it first. To gain power is also to pursue power.

That's why they are so busy.

Qi Xuansu was a little distracted for a moment. Will he get lost on this path?

Zhang Yuelu looked at him quietly.

No words were spoken.

After a moment, Qi Xuansu reached out and took Zhang Yuelu's hand.

He hadn't held Zhang Yuelu's hand like this for a long time. It wasn't soft and boneless, but just a little cold.

Qi Xuansu said softly: "I should think about it carefully. Think about the relationship between us, think about our future, think about our future path. Maybe, after the matter in Borneo comes to an end, Shall we go back to Yunjin Mountain again?”

Zhang Yuelu asked knowingly: "What are you going back for?"

Since Zhang Yuelu knew what he was asking, Qi Xuansu would not say it directly, but deliberately said: "If you don't return home if you are rich and noble, you will walk at night like a brocade. Now that I have become the youngest second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest in the Taoist sect, of course I have to go back and shock them. Those who looked down on me at the time knew what it meant: thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. Don’t bully young people into poverty.”

Speaking of this, Qi Xuansu paused deliberately, glanced at Zhang Yuelu, and teased: "Especially your mother, you have to let her see it."

Zhang Yuelu was not angry, and smiled slightly: "You are not our Zhang family, so what kind of return of wealth do you think you have?"

Qi Xuansu pretended to be surprised and said: "Am I not the Zhang family's son-in-law? A son-in-law is half a son, so this doesn't count?"

"Fuck you." Zhang Yuelu hit him lightly, but Qi Xuansu grabbed his wrist.

Zhang Yuelu did not struggle and asked seriously: "Do you really want to go?"

"Is it still fake?" Qi Xuansu gave an affirmative answer.

As they talked, the distance between the two became closer and closer.

Just when Qi Xuansu was about to take further action, a sudden voice broke the mood: "So you are here! Make it easy for me to find you."

Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu separated as if they were electrocuted, and subconsciously arranged their clothes.

I saw Xiao Yin running this way, with a staggering figure following behind him.

Qi Xuansu was very unhappy that his good things were interrupted. He put on a straight face and was about to teach Xiao Yin a lesson, but when he saw the figure behind Xiao Yin, all his anger was thrown away.

Li Tianzhen.

What does it mean to walk through iron shoes and find nowhere without any effort? That's it.

Qi Xuansu was still disappointed that Li Tianzhen had been let go just now, but now he felt a sense of joy at having lost something.

No one expected that Xiao Yin would catch Li Tianzhen.

Good girl! Good girl.

If you are serious about doing things, those Taoist priests and spiritual officials are just like trash compared to Xiao Yin.

Zhang Yuelu also recognized Li Tianzhen and laughed dumbly.

At this time, Young Master Li was in such a state of embarrassment, his hands were tied, a ghost-drawing talisman was pasted on his forehead, and an iron chain was tied around his neck, and the other end of the chain was in Xiao Yin's hand.

Xiao Yin ran happily in front, while Li Tianzhen could only follow in confusion.

The majestic Mr. Li back then ended up in this situation today.
