Pawn Crossing the River

After the family banquet, on the way back, Qi Xuansu finally couldn't help but ask, "Qingxiao, has Master Cihang become an immortal?"

"Probably." Zhang Yuelu did not give a very definite answer, "Whether you become an immortal or not, isn't it a reasonable thing? Even two years ago, three real people could become immortals. Yes, it’s just that they don’t want to.”

Qi Xuansu thought for a moment and then said, "If Cihang really becomes an immortal, then is the Guanghan Palace we see true or false?"

Zhang Yuelu still did not give a definite answer, but an inference: "I tend to be true."

"Why?" Qi Xuansu also had this feeling, but there was no proof.

Zhang Yuelu said, "Think about it, if Zhang Wuhen steals the inheritance left by True Lord Taiyin, she can't enter Zixiao Palace to steal it. What does this mean? It means that the inheritance of True Lord Taiyin has always been under the control of Zhengdao. Zhang Wuhen had an opportunity. After all, it was Master Yan Da who recruited True Lord Taiyin in the first place, and True Lord Ziguang found the Zhang family. If there was no contact between the two, how could my master find any loopholes now? She is the number two person in Zhengdao. It is not difficult for her to get in touch with the Guanghan Palace of the Divine Kingdom left by True Lord Taiyin. Of course, my master is not a god and may not be able to control the Guanghan Palace, but just taking us on a wandering trip is enough. You don’t have to be a god to do it.”

After listening to Zhang Yuelu's explanation, Qi Xuansu suddenly had a sense of understanding and enlightenment.

When Xuansheng established the Three Ways, he divided the labor between them, letting the Taiping Way take charge of the affairs of the human world, the Zhengdao taking charge of the things of ghosts and gods, and the Quanzhen Way taking charge of the things of creation.

Qi Xuansu has a deep feeling for the creations of Quanzhen Tao. Not to mention his "Heart of Immortality Stone", from "Emperor Shitian" to the three major Yin objects, to the "Eight Tribes", all kinds of creations are dazzling. Strictly speaking, the "phoenix eye" series and the "dragon eye" series are also creation projects of Quanzhen Tao.

Taiping Dao also has a little understanding of human affairs. After all, Taiping Dao has the deepest relationship with the Daxuan court. Many people from Taiping Dao serve in the court, and Qingwei Zhenren can even mobilize the Donghai navy for joint operations. Even looking back in the past, Taiping Dao has always been the backbone of every rebellion.

Only the ghosts and gods of Zhengyi seem to have a weak sense of existence.

Now that I think about it, Zhengyi Yitai can compete with the other two families, and naturally it has its own background. When it comes to the inheritance of ancient immortals, most of them are under the control of Zhengyi Yiyi, such as the inheritance of Taiyin Zhenjun, the Thirty-six Thunder Gods, etc. The original thirty-six thunder gods defeated many witch clans, and they may not be inferior to the creations of Quanzhen Tao. And just

\u003c/di\u003e

It is a spiritual official, which essentially relies on divine power and is also the category of ghosts and gods. Therefore, Tiangangtang has always been the sphere of influence of Zhengyiyi.

Having said that, most of the spiritual officers of Tiangang Hall are stationed on the border of Daomen and belong to the border army. The real forbidden army, Kunlun Daofu, is mainly based on the lineage of the Grand Master, supplemented by the three Dao. However, during the period of the Sixth Generation of Grand Masters, the authority of the Grand Master's lineage was greatly restricted, and the three Taoisms had the opportunity to reach out to Kunlun Taoist Mansion, and the situation became a three-legged tripartite situation.

Kunlun Daofu defends Yujing, and the key defense of Yujing is Beichen Hall. As one of the three upper chambers, Beichen Hall is not only a counter-intelligence agency and intelligence gathering, it is also a violent organization in itself, with some of its functions similar to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Western countries.

If we take the analogy of the Imperial Capital, the Kunlun Daofu is the Gyeonggi Camp and the Three Major Camps stationed outside the Imperial Capital, while Beichen Hall is the Five-City Soldiers and Horses Division, Qingluan Guards, and Imperial Forest Army within the city.

However, Beichen Hall is only responsible for the inside of Yujing City. After entering the scope of Xuandu and Zifu, Zixiao Palace will be responsible. This is the three-layer defense. The outermost and innermost areas are all responsible for the Grand Master's lineage. There is Beichen Hall in the middle, which is responsible for Taiping Dao. The Grand Master's lineage will not be allowed to dominate Yujing.

This design was at least reasonable at the time. In any case, Taiping Dao, headed by the Li family, was the orthodoxy that Xuansheng trusted most. The first Taiping Dao master was Xuansheng's wife, and the second Taiping Dao master was Xuan Sheng's wife. The real person is Xuansheng's brother, and the Li family can be said to be Xuansheng's direct lineage, so Xuansheng is often used as a model. No matter whether it is positive or negative, Xuansheng has no reason not to believe them. On the other hand, Quanzhen Taoism and Zhengyi Taoism, the former has Yao Zu playing double-dealing behind Xuan Sheng's back, and there are many internal factions, and the composition is complicated, while the latter simply makes a mess of deposing Tianshi, and they are far less reliable than Taiping Taoism.

This system has gradually been abolished since the Sixth Generation of Grand Masters, and Beichen Hall's voice in Yujing's defense has further expanded.

It is foreseeable that if Master Donghua comes to power, the first thing he will do is to reduce the scope of power of Beichen Hall and restore the original situation. This means that the lineage of the Grand Master will regain some control of Kunlun Taoist Palace and Yujing. But if Master Qingwei comes to power, how can he, who was born in Taiping Dao and Beichen Hall, reduce the power of his own family? Therefore, it is logical for the Grand Master to place bets on Zhenren Donghua.

It is conceivable how aggrieved the Grand Master's lineage has been in these years, and they are on the same level as Jinque.

Zixiao Palace is gone, Kunlun Taoist Mansion is gone, and even Xuandu and Zifu are about to lose their hold. Who hates the Sixth Generation Grand Master most, it should be the Grand Master's lineage. If anyone wants to say who misses the five generations of Grand Masters the most, it should be the lineage of the Grand Masters.

When one is prosperous, both are prosperous; when one is lost, both are harmed.

Although the Grand Master is weak, it will give the Grand Master's lineage the opportunity to gain power from it, but it is not enough if it is too weak. After all, the Grand Master's lineage still relies on the Grand Master's authority in essence.

The two talked about Beichen Hall, and Zhang Yuelu said, "You know, there are rumors recently that Master Qingwei wants you to be the chief deputy head of Beichen Hall."

Qi Xuansu was startled, "How could it be me? Even if Li Yongyan is still close to being successful, such a big Taiping Road will never be unavailable. How could it be my turn?"

"Perhaps Master Qingwei thinks you are useful? After all, you performed well in Fenglinzhou." Zhang Yuelu said, "Besides, this time we are going to a foreign country, and we are on the front line. We are not arrogant in Yujing. Li The noble sons of the family may not be willing to endure hardships. After all, the world has changed and their ideas have also changed. In the past, only by enduring hardships can one become a master. Now, as long as one is willing to endure hardships, there will be endless hardships.”

"Impossible." Qi Xuansu put on the posture of a hero who doesn't mention his former bravery. "You don't know that I faced Master Qingwei alone, and I made Master Qingwei very angry..."

"You? Facing Master Qingwei alone, how can you still be angry with Master Qingwei?" Zhang Yuelu was doubtful, "Why? Why don't you look like you're not kneeling?"

Qi Xuansu said, "At that time, I held Jianxiu Shanjia and other authority, backed by the Heavenly Master and the Earthly Master, with the 'Emperor Shitian' on the left and the 'Three Great Yin Things' on the right. Even if Qingwei Master held the 'Mountain Whip' But I have no choice but to watch helplessly as I take Yi Zangranzun’s body away, how can I not be angry?”

"You call this being alone?" Zhang Yuelu said suddenly.

Qi Xuansu waved his hand and said, "Who said you are alone only if you don't borrow someone's light?"

Zhang Yuelu said, "Okay, even if you have confronted Master Qingwei, now you have more reasons. Master Qingwei transferred you to his subordinates, just in time to retaliate.

"Not to mention whether Master Qingwei would do this. I went to Beichen Hall and was the chief deputy hall master. I am a Taoist priest under the jurisdiction of Jinque. Master Qingwei cannot avoid my duties. I can also add trouble to Master Qingwei." Qi Xuansu He said, "This is like shooting yourself in the foot."

Zhang Yuelu said, "But what if you make a mistake? For example, leading to the complete failure of the New World Plan. For such a serious crime, killing your head is enough."

Su stopped talking for a moment, and after a moment he said, "In order to attack political opponents, he would not hesitate to harm the efforts of generations of Taoists. I don't think Qingwei Zhenren is such a character without foresight."

Zhang Yuelu said, "Master Qingwei may not stop you, and may even fully support you. However, the situation there is too complicated and the situation is not optimistic. If Master Qingwei fully supports you and you still fail, then there will be more reasons to kill you." ”

Qi Xuansu said thoughtfully, "I don't think so. Thinking about it on the other hand, just because the difficulty is extremely difficult, if I succeed, then..."

Zhang Yuelu said, "Then you are the youngest Master Shenzhi, there is no doubt."

Qi Xuansu clicked his tongue and said, "The greater the risk, the greater the reward. Do you want to take a gamble?"

Zhang Yuelu said, "Emotionally speaking, I don't want you to take a chance. It's too dangerous. From a utilitarian point of view, you are now facing a crisis, the future is uncertain, and the future is unclear. This kind of great contribution is close to opening up territory." It's a good breaking point. But it doesn't matter what I think. If Master Qingwei insists on taking your general, you have to go if you don't want to."

Qi Xuansu sighed, "If you don't have any control over others, when will you be able to take charge of your own affairs?"

"When you become the first Taoist priest." Zhang Yuelu smiled slightly.

Qi Xuansu murmured, "There is no emperor in Taoism. I am the first Taoist priest among all equal Taoist priests in Taoism."

Maybe Zhang Yuelu has the potential of a crow's mouth, which really made her prophecy come true.

Early the next morning, Qi Xuansu received a notice that Master Qingwei was inviting him.

Qi Xuansu had no choice but to go to Beichen Hall to meet with Qingwei Zhenren.

Qi Xuansu did not expect that in just three days, he would meet with the top three Shenzhi masters in succession, and they would all have relatively in-depth conversations.

This honor is probably unique to me. After all, Master Donghua will not have a deep conversation with Li Changge, and Master Qingwei will not have a deep conversation with Zhang Yuelu.

When Qi Xuansu came to Beichen Hall, Shen Yuqing, secretary of Master Qingwei, was already waiting, with the same enthusiasm as when he was in Fenglinzhou.

Qi Xuansu had no choice but to be polite with the secretary. People who are close to power may not have power, but they can influence power, which should not be underestimated.

After the greetings, Shen Yuqing led Qi Xuansu to Qingwei Zhenren's signing room.

Master Qingwei is still the same as before, he is the youngest among the three masters.
