Pawn Crossing the River

Qi Xuansu's thoughts were very chaotic. Because he had received a large amount of information in a short period of time, his thoughts no longer ran in a straight line, but in a jumping shape, suddenly jumping from one point to another, and then spreading out again.

He had been thinking before that the name "Xuansu" was tailor-made, but now he suddenly discovered that the surname "Qi" was also tailor-made.

Indeed, he did not follow Qiniang's surname Yao, but followed Qi Jiaoyao's surname Qi.

Judging from Qiniang's behavior of sneaking into the Lingshan Cave with the earth master on her back to cause destruction, she and the Yao family are not so harmonious. If the Yao family is the eleventh witch, then Qiniang is the Wu Yang who kicked over the fire. Although Wu Yang is among the eleven witches, he is outside the scope of the ten witches in Lingshan.

It makes sense that his surname is Qi rather than Yao.

Although logically speaking, Qi Xuansu's surname is Qi after his master Qi Haoran, but how can there be so many coincidences in the world? This is probably no coincidence.

So what role does Master Qi Haoran play in the entire "circle"?

The relationship between master and disciple cannot be fake.

This is so sad.

Qi Xuansu put away the fish charm, took off the crane cloak, took off the lotus crown on his head, changed into an ordinary Taoist robe, rubbed his face with his hands, changed his appearance through the martial artist's ever-changing methods, and finally took out a pair of discs Put on your sunglasses and cover your eyes.

In the blink of an eye, Qi Xuansu transformed from the dignified chief deputy palace master back to an ordinary wandering Taoist priest.

Then Qi Xuansu's figure swept away and flew towards the flying boat port in Lion City.

It has been a long time since Qi Xuansu bought a ticket to take a flying boat, this time it was a time to relive the past. Even though Qi Xuansu has been in Lion City for many years, everyone says that Lion City is Chief Qi's territory. This is the first time Qi Xuansu has come to the place where tickets are sold, and he feels unfamiliar inside and out.

Because flying boats need water vapor, the closer to the inland, the fewer flying boats there are. There are no flying boats directly between states. There are only flying boats to Yujing, or flying boats from Yujing to other places. If you want to go to other states, you need to transfer to Yujing. But the coastal states are different. There is abundant water and vapor, so there are direct flying boats. Qi Xuansu can fly directly from Borneo to Jinling Prefecture.

The fare is still the same, regardless of distance, it is only 100 Taiping, which prohibits most people. Many people prefer to take a boat trip, which takes longer but only costs 1 percent.

Although Qiniang vowed to make Qi Xuansu penniless, it was unrealistic to actually achieve it. Qi Xuansu could still afford only one hundred peace dollars.

Qi Xuansu bought a boat ticket from a female Taoist priest and lined up to board the flying boat.

It was still a small, cramped room, with a bed taking up half of the space. This made Qi Xuansu a little nostalgic for his flying boat, which was like a mansion in the sky.

\u003c/di\u003e

, study room, quiet room, bedroom, large and small meeting halls, hall, reception room, small living room, side hall, large and small dining rooms, guest rooms, kitchen, wine cellar, utility room, Taoist lounge, everything is available.

It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

In fact, the power is the same.

Qi Xuansu also has a deep understanding. When Qi Xuansu first came to power, he was still somewhat uncomfortable with being called Qi Cixi, Qi Chief, and Qi Zhenren. Now, if anyone calls him by his first name instead of using these honorific titles, he is not used to it. When he first took office, Qi Xuansu was somewhat unaccustomed to seeing the flattering, respectful and humble faces. But now he is not used to seeing faces lacking respect. When he first took office, he was not used to being asked to speak in various ways. He felt it was cumbersome and empty. But now that he is not allowed to speak, he is not used to it.

These few are not used to it, and are no different from Fei Zhou.

Qi Xuansu was lying on his bed. Because his thoughts were confused and he was not in the mood to practice, he just lay there, thinking about what to say after seeing Qiniang.

Why go to Qiniang first instead of Tianshi?

The reason is very simple. It’s not the Heavenly Master he wants to see, he can see him if he wants to. It seems that the Heavenly Master is only one level higher than Qi Xuansu. According to the invisible threshold, it is actually five levels higher. The chief deputy hall master is one level, the master of the palace is one level, the master of the palace is one level, the master of the hall is one level, and the ordinary Zhang Dazhen is the first level, and then the deputy head master Dazhen, so you have to apply in advance. After the Heavenly Master agrees, you can then line up to see him. In the past, it seemed easy for Qi Xuansu to meet the Celestial Master, but it was all summoned by the Celestial Master on his own initiative, rather than Qi Xuansu actively seeking to see the Celestial Master.

It takes less than a day to get from the Lion City in Borneo to Kam Leng, more than half a day is enough.

When getting off the flying boat, a young man walking in front of Qi Xuansu stretched himself out and shouted, "Jinling, here I come!"

Then there are words such as wanting to build a big empire in Jinling Mansion.

Qi Xuansu just smiled.

Everyone has the dream of being an emperor. Unfortunately, the era of the emperor has passed. Nowadays, it is not a troubled time. Where did the empire come from?

At least Qi Xuansu didn't think of Borneo as his own country. The last person who thought so, Wang Jiaohe, had gone to the cave of the ghost country to accompany the three great ghosts.

The era in which young people have to be crazy, young people to be arrogant, young people to be flamboyant, heart-breaking, and work hard has passed.

Today is an era of decadence, numbness, and despair.

If you miss the window for change, you will never go back.

Without Qiniang, why would Qi Xuansu get ahead? Is this world a world for everyone?

Qi Xuansu left the flying boat in a very low-key manner. Back then, he and Zhang Yuelu were investigating cases in Jinling Mansion. They traveled around a lot and were familiar with the place. He planned to go straight to Da Baoen Temple.

Although this was the territory of Zhang Jucheng and Lei Xiaohuan, Qi Xuansu had no intention of disturbing these two people. He came here only for private matters, not official business.

Dabaoen Temple is quite a legendary place and has been on the stage of the debate between Confucianism and Taoism several times. ??

Dabaoen Temple was originally one of the three major Buddhist temples in Jinling Prefecture. Among them is a glazed pagoda, which is nearly 100 feet high and made of colored glaze. It is called the best pagoda in the world. Today, there are more than 6,000 volumes of Buddhist scriptures in the Dabaoen Temple, and there are Buddha bones in the glazed pagoda. Therefore, monks from various sects gathered here. In addition, there were many scholars and scholars who also liked to sit here and discuss Taoism. Zen Master Hu, one of the Seven Hermits of Confucianism, also lived in seclusion here. Later, he was executed by Zhang Zu in Dabaoen Temple. This was the first time.

The second time was when the "remnants of the previous dynasty" within the Confucian sect targeted the Eastern Emperor. Later, the Taoist sect dispatched high-end combat forces such as high-grade spiritual officers and the three major demons to suppress and hunt down the participants, and Xiao Yin was able to "unconstrainedly" in vain. Donghuang met Xuansheng after encountering the incident at Da Baoen Temple. Xuansheng rebuked Donghuang for relying on his brother's relatives, receiving the weight of the feudal territory, relying on power to cultivate, without any scruples, using swords and swords on himself without being afraid of himself, being arrogant, and not listening to others. Words of advice, being arbitrary and arbitrary, being alone and taking risks will lead to today's disaster.

But that's all gone. Today's Dabaoen Temple is just an ordinary temple.

Qi Xuansu came to the entrance of Dabaoen Temple. Just as he was about to go inside, he was stopped by a monk and told that he had to donate some sesame oil money.

In fact, just buy a ticket.

Qi Xuansu had to spend five peace coins to buy a stick of incense before he could enter.

This is five peace coins, and ordinary people cannot afford it.

After finally arriving at Dabaoen Temple, Qi Xuansu contacted Qiniang again, but it was just a message: "I'm here, where are you?"

"Liu Tile Pagoda." Qiniang's words were concise and to the point.

Qi Xuansu ended the call and walked all the way to the depths of the temple, crossed the Perfume River, and saw the Glazed Pagoda.

Qiniang is on the highest floor of Liuli Pagoda.

Qi Xuansu stopped pretending at this time and simply jumped up and came to Qiniang's side.

Qi Qiniang stood with her hands behind her hands and looked at him, "You're here."

Qi Xuansu hesitated for a moment, "I...shouldn't I come?"

Qiniang

\u003c/di\u003e

She rolled her eyes at him, "Have you read too many words? I'm just being polite to you."

"When will you ever be polite to me? This is not like you." Qi Xuansu smiled.

Qiniang turned to lean against the window edge and looked at Qi Xuansu, "It's different."

"Why is it different? Apart from the pure love between mother and son, do we have some other feelings? That's why you hate Zhang Qingxiao? This is so cliché, so cliché that I wouldn't even want to write it in a storybook." Qi Xuansu also leaned against the window edge.

"Fuck you, you're talking nonsense." Qiniang is not a little girl, and she doesn't have the slightest emotion of shame. "If I were young back then, I might have some ideas. It's a pity that Qi Xuansu died back then, and the time we got together was too short. It was a bit The idea was in vain. When I met you again later, I was already over fifty years old, and you were just a little kid who didn't understand anything. You were almost scared to cry when you saw an inn. Compared with the calm Qi Xuansu back then? He is really a son."

"If you ask me, your dead person filter is a bit serious. I couldn't say that I was calm at all times. I was mainly confident." Qi Xuansu didn't mind making trouble for himself at all.

Qiniang looked at Qi Xuansu, "Actually, it's been so long, I can't remember many specific details. I just remember your last words, 'Next time, come back next time.' Maybe you are right, my dead man." The filter is a bit serious, and a living person can never compare with a dead person. Because Qi Xuansu died back then, so over the years, I gradually built up a perfect image of him. "

Qi Xuansu said, "Actually, it's all like this. Take my master as an example. In the past, he has always been perfect in my mind, not stained by any dust, just like a holy statue. But after experiencing some things, I look back. , Master is of course good, but the halo and filter I put on him are a bit too heavy, and many things cannot withstand careful consideration or scrutiny. He... Hi! I won’t say any more.”

"Say, why don't you say it? I still want to hear it." Qiniang gradually returned to her past state, "Do you want to ask, what is my relationship with your master?"

Qi Xuansu didn't say anything.

is the default.

Qiniang's eyes were slightly lowered, and she was playing with the purse hanging on the cigarette stick at her waist. "If I said it doesn't matter and I've never known him, you probably wouldn't believe it."

Qi Xuansu said, "So, we know each other."

"I didn't tell you." Qiniang tightened her purse, "There are some things, not that I don't want to tell you, but that I can't tell you. They say that people can't help themselves in the world, and they can't help themselves in the temple. I can't help it. Wandering between temples and rivers and lakes, it’s never about doing whatever you want.”
