Pawn Crossing the River

Qi Xuansu sat on the jade platform with the "Guizang Lamp" next to him and began to recall his past years.

Xuan Su is divided into black and white. This name fits his style very well. He had doubts before, is it because of this name that he has his style? Or do you have a style first and then choose a name based on the style?

Now there seems to be an answer, and the name was probably given later.

Where is it in this "circle"? Is it the Lingshan Cave Heaven that Qi Xuansu returned to in the past? Or was Qi Xuansu attacked near the Kunlun Pass?

Qi Xuansu hasn't thought clearly yet.

But he discovered something interesting.

After he and Qi Jiayao got the "Bone Mirror", they divided the spoils. After he temporarily increased the price, Qi Jiayao once said, "Don't let me catch the opportunity, otherwise I will definitely leave you penniless." ”

Qiniang really holds a grudge and does what she says.

Today, Qi Xuansu is indeed penniless. Xiao Yin asked him for pocket money, but he couldn't come up with it. He often had to rely on Zhang Yuelu's financial aid to survive.

No wonder Qiniang, who came from a rich family and had a big business, kept an eye on his two pieces of money. There was a reason for this.

Judging from various signs, Qiniang later knew the truth. There is another question here. When did Qiniang know the truth?

According to common sense, Qi Xuansu died in Lingshan Cave. After Qiniang, whose pseudonym was Qi Jiayao, left Lingshan Cave with the "Heart of the Immortality Stone", she would definitely learn about the outside world during the time she was trapped in Lingshan Cave. What happened, naturally included Qi Xuansu's presence.

After all, Qi Xuansu said that he was an upstart in the Taoist sect and the youngest real person in the Taoist sect. He was famous and anyone would know his name.

But Qiniang will find out after some inquiry that she has not been trapped for a long time. The world outside is still dominated by Pei Xuanzhi, Li Wugou, and Su Yuanyi. There is not even a shadow of the eight generations of disciples. It will take many years before they can board. The high-rise stage of the upper gate.

What shocked her even more was that Qi Xuansu did not exist at all.

Then there are two possibilities, either Qi Xuansu is boasting, or there is another reason.

The first possibility is that even if Qi Xuansu is bragging, the cultivation level of the created heavenly being cannot be faked. This kind of person can't just jump out of the stone. Even if he is not a Taoist, he should have some reputation. The key is in his hands. There is a Celestial Master's "Qingyun" that can call the Heavenly Thunder, and after being certified by the Celestial Master, this cannot be faked.

Qiniang must have verified through various channels and found that "Qingyun" has always been in the hands of the Heavenly Master.

This is strange, could there be two "Qingyun"? Ancestral Master also left a backup?

it's out of the question.

This leads to the second possibility, and there is another reason.

Qiniang will definitely think that a heavenly being

\u003c/di\u003e

, claimed to be an upstart in the Taoist sect, and came to Lingshan Cave Heaven with the sword of the Heavenly Master. It turned out that there was no such person in the outside world. This person was either disguised by others, or...

There is another problem here.

Qiniang is not stupid and is well-informed, but can she really think of visitors from later generations?

If Qi Xuansu had not experienced it personally, then he would definitely not believe it and would only think it was nonsense. Huang Liang Meng and other things are still within the understandable range, and it can be understood when looking back on the past, but going back to the past is a bit beyond cognition.

If Qiniang couldn't figure this out, then who pointed it out to her?

Qi Xuansu's first reaction was Earth Master.

The three masters have worked together for many years and fought against each other for many years. It can be described as "equal". If the Heavenly Master can know five hundred years in advance and five hundred years in the future, and can make Qi Xuansu see the truth, then the Earth Master will not be aware of it at all. ?

Obviously not.

Considering the relationship between Earth Master and Qiniang, this is possible.

But there is one thing that doesn't make sense. Qiniang sneaked into the Lingshan cave with Earth Master on her back, took the "Bone Mirror", stole the "Heart of the Immortality Stone", and beat Yao Liu to death. This nature is much worse than Xiao Yin sneaking in and messing with the "Gui Zang Lamp". Calculated, it should be Xiao Yin who stole Qi Xuansu's "Qingyun" and "Qingjing Bodhi" and sold them to Li Changge, and then beat Chen Jianchou half to death. .

Qi Xuansu would never give up and must teach Xiao Yin an unforgettable lesson.

Is the earth master so generous?

Or is Qiniang already arrested? and has accepted the punishment.

But if Qiniang is caught, then the "Heart of Immortality Stone" should be confiscated by the Earth Master. Why is it still in Qiniang's hands?

Unless...the Earth Master acquiesces, or even the Earth Master is happy to see it happen.

Qiniang is also a chess piece.

However, these are all Qi Xuansu's guesses. They may be right or wrong. The key is to have an interview with Qiniang. After all, she is the person involved.

It's just that Qiniang's character may not tell the truth. In other words, Qiniang didn't tell the whole truth and misled others, such as "I have a son." Did Qiniang panic? Not lying at all, but who would have thought it meant so?

Although it is not difficult for Qi Xuansu to deal with Qi Jiayao, that is because Qi Jiayao is young and has just started his career. Although he has the shadow of Qiniang, he is still a bit immature. But Qiniang is different. After many years of ups and downs, she has rich experience, her career is on the right track, and her stall is very large. She is already an experienced person.

Even

The key point is that Qi Xuansu is completely unfamiliar to Qi Jiayao. Qi Jiayao does not know the details of Qi Xuansu. He knows himself well and does not know the enemy, so it is naturally difficult to handle Qi Xuansu. But to Qiniang, Qi Xuansu was the godson she took care of. She knew all about Qi Xuansu's little thoughts. She knew herself and the enemy, and was a good hand in dealing with Qi Xuansu.

Time is a good medicine. From Wei Wugui to Qi Zhenren, it didn't even take ten years. After so many years, Qiniang is definitely not the Qi Jiayao she used to be.

Therefore, Qi Xuansu was not too sure.

It's just that when we get to this point, we have to give it a try if we're not sure, and it's time to explain things to each other.

Qi Xuansu put away the "Gui Zang Lamp", opened the door, and walked out.

At this time, Xiao Yin was sitting on the ground in the corner outside the door, with a stack of cards in front of him, amusing himself. This is a promotional method passed down from the West. Buy cigarettes and get cards. There are landscape paintings and figure paintings, all kinds of things, such as the Twelve Apostles, the Thirty-Six Gods of Thunder, the Twenty-Eight Constellations, and the One Hundred and Zero. Eight generals, the ten beauties of Jinling, and even a set of Xuansheng cards.

Xiao Yin never tired of this and often used the money given by Zhang Yuelu to buy cigarettes, then threw away the cigarettes and kept the card. There were a few smokers in the Taoist mansion. After finding out, they followed Xiao Yin and picked up a box of cigarettes for free. Who wouldn't be happy?

However, these merchants are also shady. They usually produce one or two rare cards, and dozens of boxes of cigarettes may not be issued even one. Xiao Yin spent a lot of money for these cards, and was often scolded by Zhang Yuelu - although Zhang Yuelu is now rich. , but I also came from poor times before.

Seeing Qi Xuansu come out, Xiao Yin quickly put away her card, as if Qi Xuansu would snatch it from her. In fact, Qi Xuansu also collects. In essence, it is no different from Xiao Yin, except that it is more high-end and more expensive. It mainly collects various Xuansheng cards, and occasionally collects some unique and rare books.

Where does the money come from, you ask? Zhang Yuelu gave it to him privately, but no one thought it was a soft meal. How many people wanted to kneel down to give money to Qi Xuansu, but none of them had the skills to actually find the temple gate with a pig's head.

It is very simple for Qi Xuansu to make money. If nothing else, letting Fan Ji and Chen Shuwen engage in profit transfer is both hidden and safe, but he is unwilling to do so.

What makes Xiao Yin very unbalanced is that they are also collecting money and getting money from Zhang Yuelu. Zhang Yuelu never talks about Qi Xuansu, but only talks about her and treats her differently.

The two parents usually have a red face and a bad face. Qi Xuansu always has a red face, while Zhang Yuelu has a white face, which is a bit out of place.

So Qi Xuansu just glanced at her and said nothing.

When Xiao Yin saw that Qi Xuansu was silent, he secretly took out a little book and read it for himself.

After a while, Lin Yuanmiao also came over to take a look. He had been watching

\u003c/di\u003e

The central area of ​​Tongzhen Palace can monitor the entire Tongzhen Palace and control various forbidden formations, so Xiao Yin is unreliable and has to rely on Lao Lin.

"Do you want to leave seclusion?" Lin Yuanmiao asked directly.

Qi Xuansu said, "Well, let's get out of seclusion, but don't inform others yet. I have some things to deal with. By the way, remember to take Xiao Yin to Zhang Cixi's place."

Lin Yuanmiao just nodded and returned to the central area to lift various restrictions inside and outside Tongzhen Palace for Qi Xuansu.

After leaving Tongzhen Palace, all communication restrictions disappeared. Qi Xuansu took out the fish charm and started to contact Qiniang.

Soon, Qiniang's half-length projection appeared in front of Qi Xuansu.

"Is something wrong?" Qiniang still had the same nonchalant attitude.

Qi Xuansu asked, "Qiniang, where are you?"

"What?" Qiniang asked.

Qi Xuansu got straight to the point, "I want to meet you."

"Why are we meeting?" Qiniang refused directly, "I'm in Jinling Mansion now, and I have to go to the Imperial Capital tomorrow. I have a busy schedule. If you have anything to do, just tell me directly."

Qi Xuansu smiled, "There are so many things, I don't know where to start, and I can't explain them clearly in just a few words. Let's meet and talk in detail, Fellow Taoist Qi."

Qiniang was about to speak when she was suddenly startled, "What did you call me?"

Qi Xuansu repeated "Fellow Daoist Qi."

Qiniang's expression suddenly became very complicated, and even though she was still wearing the pair of sunglasses, she couldn't hide it.

Qi Xuansu continued, "Should I call you Qiniang? Or should I call you Taoist Fellow Qi? Or should I just call you 'Mother'? After all, we have established a written agreement."

Qiniang was silent for a while, and her expression gradually softened, "Let's call her Qiniang. After so many years, I'm used to calling and hearing. There's no need to change my words. As for the written records, those were all things in the previous life. ”

Although Qi Xuansu was already 90% sure that it was true, the guess was just a guess after all. It was only at this moment that Qiniang admitted it herself.

For a moment, Qi Xuansu was filled with emotions.

Qi Xuansu sighed, "It happened in the previous life. Qi Jiaoyao and Qi Xuansu turned out to be a family, with the same surname. No wonder I couldn't figure it out before, why a mother fell from the sky, it turned out to be like this."

For the first time, Qiniang put away her usual casual attitude and asked seriously, "When did you remember it?"

"Just now." Qi Xuansu said, "When will we meet?"

"You can do it at any time. I'll wait for you at Dabaoen Temple in Jinling Prefecture." Qiniang said.
