Pawn Crossing the River

After hearing this, Zhang Jucheng's doubts not only did not diminish, but actually increased.

It is not unusual for Qi Xuansu to have an encounter with the Heavenly Master. It must have happened through Zhang Yuelu. But precisely because it was Zhang Yuelu's way, Zhang Jucheng was wondering - if you didn't go to Zhang Yuelu, how did you find me here? He didn't say hello in advance, just followed him in a light car, and concealed himself from others. He still traveled thousands of miles from Borneo to Jinling Mansion. In terms of distance, Lingnan Road Mansion was closer. From a relationship point of view, the two are not enemies, but they are just getting along on a face-to-face basis, far from being a firm ally.

Zhang Jucheng thought so in his heart, but said, "It's a small matter, just say hello to Xiao Tang. It's not worth the trip in person."

In fact, Qi Xuansu didn't think that much at all. At the beginning, he didn't expect to see the Celestial Master immediately. Instead, he placed his hope on Qiniang. He never thought that there was no breakthrough on Qiniang's side, so he had to place his hope on the Celestial Master.

Even though Qi Xuansu looked unconcerned and very calm on the surface, he was not like that in his heart. When he was at the Great Baoen Temple, he was already a little confused. It was obvious that he had no reason to fight with two unrelated people. So he didn't think carefully at all, and based on the principle of being nearby, he directly found Zhang Jucheng.

But Qi Xuansu couldn't say that, so he had to say, "I don't have that much face, so I have to ask my uncle for help."

This remark was not only a compliment to Zhang Jucheng, but also meant that only you, the future head of the Zhang family, have such great respect, so just say hello. It also made it difficult for Zhang Jucheng to refuse. He couldn't. He said that I didn't have such a big face, and the Heavenly Master didn't give me any face at all, so it was very difficult for me to do it.

Zhang Jucheng is very useful. In this position, there must be a lot of people around him who praise him, but how can those people compare with Qi Xuansu? It's not about any skills or how to manipulate people's hearts. It's just the same words, and the effects of what people of different status say are completely different. Nowadays, Qi Xuansu is not said to be on an equal footing with Zhang Jucheng, at least he doesn't have to grovel, he is relatively equal.

If Qi Xuansu becomes the head master one day, the weight of this sentence will be different, it will simply be bragging rights.

Don't think that you won't brag when you reach the level of Master Shen Zhi. We are all human beings and should have no less vanity. ??

Zhang Jucheng was already willing to help, but he didn't forget about it. He asked again, "Even if you don't want to trouble Xiao Tang and Qing Xiao is attending the meeting in Yujing, you don't have to go to Jinling Mansion in person. Today's communication methods If you are so developed, just say it from a distance, why would I deliberately embarrass you? "

Qi Xuansu hesitated for a moment and said, "To be honest, in addition to visiting my uncle this time, I also want to see

\u003c/di\u003e

My adoptive mother didn’t say hello in advance because it was a private matter, and I was alone. "

"Qiniang?" Zhang Jucheng was startled. Of course he knew Qiniang. He and Qiniang, as well as Master Donghua, Master Cihang, Master Qingwei and others, were all disciples of the seventh generation. If you count carefully, they might still be The exception was Qiniang, a classmate of the Wanxiang Taoist Palace. She was only a fourth-grade Jijiu Taoist priest and had no chance to participate in the study of the second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest.

Zhang Jucheng was a little surprised, "Qiniang is also in Jinling Mansion? I didn't know."

"It's not surprising." Qi Xuansu said with a smile, "That's just the way she is. I don't know when she went to the Borneo Taoist House or when she left the Borneo Taoist House."

Zhang Jucheng finally solved his doubts and stopped asking further questions. He asked Qi Xuansu to wait while he contacted the Tianshi.

This trivial matter is certainly not worth Zhang Jucheng's personal trip to Da Zhenren Mansion. As the nominal second person in the Zhang family, Zhang Jucheng has channels to directly contact the Tianshi.

Soon, Zhang Jucheng came back, but his expression was a little strange, "The Heavenly Master is not in Yunjin Mountain. It is said that he has gone down below."

This lower level generally refers to the state capitals. To put it bluntly, it means going on inspection tours. The Taoist priests at all levels below should treat them with caution and receive them seriously as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Qi Xuansu has also experienced it. When he was in Fenglin Prefecture, Qingwei Zhenren was patrolling all parties, and the people below him were doing a lot of work, cleaning, warning local gangsters to keep to themselves in the recent period, and doing some face-saving projects and so on.

When the Celestial Master goes on inspection, he may not necessarily do it with great fanfare, but he may dress simply and pay a private visit incognito, without saying hello in advance, dressing up like an ordinary old man, walking around, taking a look, and understanding the more real situation. In this case, no one can find the Heavenly Master.

Qi Xuansu's first reaction was that the Heavenly Master did it intentionally.

It is not difficult to deduce from the time when he borrowed the "Gui Zang Lamp" when he knew the "truth", but the Heavenly Master went to inspect the place below at this time. It is difficult to say that it was not intentional.

However, it cannot be said that the Heavenly Master is hiding from Qi Xuansu and does not dare to see Qi Xuansu. Qi Xuansu is not a person who would make the Heavenly Master avoid him. Perhaps the Heavenly Master felt that the time was not right and did not want to directly shut out Qi Xuansu and make him think too much, so he simply used such a tactful way to avoid Qi Xuansu.

Zhang Jucheng said, "However, the Heavenly Master also specifically explained before leaving that there is no need to return the 'Guicang Lamp' in a hurry, although some of the magic is only for a period of time."

Once, but it can still be used normally if you go back in time. It is quite interesting to look at what happened in the past when you have nothing to do. "

Zhang Jucheng, as the master of Shenzhi, certainly knew the use of Tianshi's "Guicang Lamp", but he didn't understand what Qi Xuansu was using the "Guicang Lamp" for, and Qi Xuansu couldn't use it. Moreover, the words of the Heavenly Master are also quite interesting. There is no need to pay them back. The past events are very interesting. These words are a bit frivolous and do not seem to come from the mouth of the Heavenly Master, which makes Qi Xuansu feel a little distracted.

Qi Xuansu stood up, thanked Zhang Jucheng, and left.

Zhang Jucheng hesitated several times before asking, "Tianyuan, what's the matter?"

Qi Xuansu took a deep breath, "It's okay, it's nothing serious."

At this point, Zhang Jucheng didn't want to ask too deeply. After all, it was taboo to talk about things in a simple way, and he and Qi Xuansu hadn't reached that point yet.

Qi Xuansu left Jinling Mansion directly without taking a flying boat and went to Kunlun Jade Capital alone.

How could Qi Xuansu be completely indifferent to such a major event that almost negated the first half of his life? The indifference when facing Qiniang cannot be said to be all fake, but to say that he really didn't care at all would be to deceive himself. ??

In fact, Qiniang also said, did you take the wrong medicine today?

At this time, the first signs have already begun to appear.

Qi Xuansu behaved like most men. At the beginning, he was quite calm and strong. He could talk and laugh. It seemed nothing serious. However, as time went by, his "stamina" gradually increased and he became a bit controllable. Can't stand it anymore.

On the other side, Zhang Yuelu received an unexpected teleportation conversation from Qiniang during a break in the discussion.

In Borneo, the two left each other's contact information, but they never used it.

Qiniang took the initiative to contact Zhang Yuelu for the first time, which gave Zhang Yuelu a somewhat bad premonition.

However, Zhang Yuelu still picked up the conversation.

Qiniang went straight to the point without any polite greetings, "Tian Yuan's condition is not right."

Zhang Yuelu was startled: "Tian Yuan is in retreat."

"He has been released from quarantine, and we just met." Qiniang said directly without talking in circles with Zhang Yuelu, "I could tell when we were talking that something was wrong with him."

Zhang Yuelu was even more surprised, "He's out of seclusion? He didn't contact me, and...what's wrong with him? Is there something wrong with his cultivation?"

“It has nothing to do with his cultivation, it’s his emotions.

\u003c/di\u003e

Qiniang said, "He knew something and it hit him hard." "

Zhang Yuelu immediately knew what was going on, because Qi Xuansu didn't hide the fact that he was going to Lingshan Cave to find out the truth at all, and it was she who borrowed the "Guicang Lamp". Now it seems that Qi Xuansu should have found the truth, at least part of the truth, and this part of the truth hit him hard.

In Zhang Yuelu's view, Qi Xuansu is not a person with very big mood swings. Especially in recent years, Qi Xuansu has become more sophisticated, which can be said to be mature. The truth can shock him or even make him feel wrong. The content can be imagined And Zhi must have subverted many of his inherent perceptions.

Zhang Yuelu did not ask what these so-called truths were, nor what they talked about, but directly asked, "Where are the others?"

"I guess I went to Yujing, Requiem Division." Qiniang knew Qi Xuansu well and had an accurate grasp.

Zhang Yuelu asked again, "Is his master involved?"

Qiniang nodded, "It also involves me, so there are some things that I really can't say, so you should go and persuade him."

Once upon a time, Zhang Yuelu was very troubled by the fact that the mother-son relationship between Qi Xuansu and Qiniang was so good that needles could not penetrate and water could not penetrate. It became very difficult for her to change Qi Xuansu. But now listening to the connotation of these words, it is obvious that there is a gap between the mother and the son. However, Zhang Yuelu did not have the slightest sense of gloating at this time, only deep worry.

It also involves Qiniang, so it can’t be the worst situation.

Zhang Yuelu had no intention of asking more questions. After finishing the conversation, he immediately contacted Qi Xuansu, but Qi Xuansu did not respond.

Zhang Yuelu contacted Lin Yuanmiao again, and then confirmed that Qi Xuansu had been released from confinement.

Zhang Yuelu, who had never been angry with Lin Yuanmiao, was furious: "Old Lin, what's going on with you? You didn't tell me such a big thing?"

Lin Yuanmiao replied, "Tian Yuan didn't let me tell others."

Zhang Yuelu said, "Am I someone else? Didn't you see that something was wrong with him? Are you still letting him do whatever he wants?"

Lin Yuanmiao was silent for a moment and said, "He looked normal at the time, no different from usual."

Zhang Yuelu couldn't say anything else, so he ended the call and rushed to the Requiem Department immediately. However, the discussion was not over yet, so he could only continue to participate in the discussion patiently.

Lin Yuanmiao at this time

On the way back to Lingnan Daofu with Xiao Yin, Xiao Yin didn't know what happened yet. When he saw Lin Yuanmiao being scolded, he gloated, "Old Lin, have you been scolded? You have today too!"
