Pawn Crossing the River

After Qi Xuansu left Beichen Hall, he returned to his and Zhang Yuelu's small home. Before coming to Yujing, Zhang Yuelu gave him the key, and their "big home" was still under renovation.

In fact, the two of them had four properties in their names, the Taishangfang house bought by Qi Niang, the middle-sized house in Taishangfang as a dowry by the Zhang family, the small house in Taishangfang given by Zhang Yuyue, and the Xuandu small house next to Cihang Zhenren.

Qi Xuansu won by quality, and Zhang Yuelu won by quantity.

To be fair, if it is just one person living here, it is more comfortable to live in a small house. Moreover, the two of them had just lived here for a while not long ago, and there was still some residual popularity.

Qi Xuansu came here alone this time, without anyone. It was already dark when he came. Although the house is small, it is covered with talismans. After activating the corresponding cardinals, the talisman lines all over the floor, walls and ceiling lit up one by one, illuminating the whole house.

It was not until this time that Qi Xuansu took out the "Seven Birds and Five Fire Fan" and placed it on the coffee table.

This is a feather fan, also known as the "Lunjin Feather Fan", which uses different feathers with different colors and colorful colors, namely: Phoenix Feather, Blue Luan Feather, Dapeng Feather, Peacock Feather, White Crane Feather, Swan Feather, Owl Feather, Seven Bird Feathers, which can turn into fire in the air, fire in the stone, fire in the wood, Samadhi Fire, and human fire. It can be said that the name is not fancy at all and is completely realistic.

Strictly speaking, this is also a "person", but it is still a bit sad to be imprisoned and confined to an object.

As for why Xiao Yin, the elf, can run around everywhere, there is actually an explanation. Xiao Yin is an elf born from the Emperor Willow. It can be said that the Emperor Willow gave birth to Xiao Yin, but it cannot be said that Xiao Yin is the Emperor Willow itself. This is a bit like, this land gave birth to these creatures, but it cannot be said that these creatures are this land.

Xiao Yin is an independent individual. Xiao Yin has his own body, and the Emperor Willow is still the Emperor Willow, still standing in the Ghost Kingdom Cave Heaven, and even Qi Xuansu has gone up there. The two have a very close connection, but they are not one and the same, and it is not that the Emperor Willow became a spirit and formed Xiao Yin. The Emperor Willow is more like a mother or a womb. Rather than saying that Xiao Yin is the Emperor Willow itself, it is better to say that Xiao Yin is the seed and child of the Emperor Willow.

The "Seven Birds and Five Fire Fan" is different. The spirit of the instrument does not have its own body. Her body is the "Seven Birds and Five Fire Fan", so she is the "Seven Birds and Five Fire Fan". The two cannot be separated and are one.

For various reasons, the "Seven Birds and Five Fire Fan" is not free, but Xiao Yin can be free.

Of course, there are also reasons for the Taoist sect. The Taoist sect will definitely not let the "Seven Birds and Five Fire Fan" run around, after all, it is an immortal object. However, the Taoist sect's attitude towards Xiao Yin is to let it go and let it go.

After Qingwei Zhenren handed the "Seven Birds and Five Fire Fan" to Qi Xuansu, Qi Xuansu felt a special connection, similar to the feeling that the Earth Master granted him the authority of Jianxiu Shanjia, which may be called the authority of Zixiao Palace.

This should be a complete set of prohibition systems of the Taoist sect, involving the two basic means of talismans and formations. Since the Taoist sect can manipulate the "Emperor Shitian" who is comparable to an immortal, it is not difficult to control immortal objects.

In short, the authority of Zixiao Palace allows Qi Xuansu to use the "Seven Birds and Five Fire Fan".

At this time, the "Seven Birds and Five Fire Fan" is in a deep sleep.

With past experience, Qi Xuansu is also familiar with it, and uses his authority to wake up the "Seven Birds and Five Fire Fan".

In an instant, this feather fan "comes to life", and the charm of the Tao is dissipated, and the magnificent atmosphere is filled.

The five-color flames gushed out, first outlining the outline of a human figure, and then filling it in turn to become a flame figure. Finally, the flame faded and turned into a tall Taoist nun, but her dress was not like the Taoist people today, but a bit like the Taoist priests in the past.

The Taoist nun stretched out her hand and waved, and the "Seven Birds and Five Fire Fan" flew into her hand.

Qi Xuansu took the initiative to say, "Fellow Taoist."

Since the second generation of the Grand Master proposed the term "first Taoist" and advocated equality in an all-round way, the title of "senior" has been abandoned to a large extent. Except for the master-disciple relationship, all are called "fellow Taoist". To show special respect, it is to call "brother Taoist" or directly call the position.

Qi Xuansu also speaks to different people. Shi Hengbo is a second-generation disciple in the Xuansheng era. Before equality was fully advocated, he called him senior. In other cases, it is a fellow Taoist.

The Taoist nun glanced at Qi Xuansu and said, "You are fellow Taoist Qi Xuansu? It's amazing. You actually have two fairy objects on you. If you don't know, you would think your surname is Zhang."

Qi Xuansu was speechless. This is true. The "Qingyun" and "Guizangdeng" of the Heavenly Master are on him. Anyone who sees him is treated as a grandson.

However, Qi Xuansu did not want to discuss this topic, and asked instead: "I wonder what my friend should call me?"

The Taoist nun did not intend to ask further, and replied: "My name is 'Seven Birds and Five Fire Fans', which is a bit tongue-twisting. You can call me Qi Niang."

Qi Xuansu was stunned, and after a moment, she said: "You are also called Qi Niang?"

"Is it strange?" The Taoist nun asked back.

"Not strange." Qi Xuansu shook her head.

This is the truth. In ancient times, men were called "Lang" and women were called "Niang". According to the ranking, they were called Lang and Niang. For example, Xuanzong was Li Sanlang, Sun Er was Sun Er Niang, and there were also more famous Dalang drinking medicine, Erlang fighting tigers, Sanlang fighting desperately, Silang visiting his mother, etc.

As for Fenglinzhou, it was learned from the people in the Central Plains.

Although "Seven Birds and Five Fire Fans" did not have a ranking of brothers and sisters, there were numbers in her name, so naturally she directly used the first number.

Qi Xuansu said: "To be honest, my adoptive mother is also called Qiniang."

The Taoist nun was silent for a moment and said: "I don't care about a title. You can also call me Wu Niang."

This is the advantage of having two numbers in the name, it can be flexible.

Qi Xuansu naturally agreed: "Okay, Wuniang."

Wu Niang asked: "I heard that we are going to the New World?"

Qi Xuansu said: "It is said that there is your second hometown."

"That's a bit interesting." Wu Niang laughed, "It can indeed be said that I spent about sixty years there, and I have a deep memory."

Qi Xuansu said: "No wonder Jiang Daren chose you, you are half a local."

Wuniang said: "After more than a hundred years of vicissitudes of life, my experience may not be reliable."

"Of course." Qi Xuansu turned around and said, "So, you should have some old acquaintances at Xidaomen."

Wu Niang shook her head and said: "Don't count on it, they are no longer alive."

Qi Xuansu couldn't say he was disappointed, this was to be expected.

Wu Niang looked at Qi Xuansu: "Given your age, it is extremely difficult to achieve such a level of cultivation. And for you to serve as the chief deputy hall master of Beichen Hall, it shows that you have a bright future. Maybe one day, you will become my true disciple." The person who uses it.”

The Taoist sect emphasizes equality and does not want to be called the master, so it is called the user. Qi Xuansu is now only authorized to borrow the "Seven Birds and Five Fire Fans", so who can be the real user of Wuniang?

Of course it’s the Grand Master.

"I can't take it seriously." Qi Xuansu is not so optimistic now, especially after he has just experienced a minor change.

While talking, Qi Xuansu was also observing Wu Niang and could still see some clues. Wuniang seems to have transformed, but in fact she has no real independent body. She is similar to the three-corpse incarnation of the banished immortal and cannot truly exist independently. Xiao Yin is different. This guy is more like Lin Lingsu, the master of the Jin Dynasty. He has his own body and is a completely independent individual.

Therefore, Wuniang holding the "Seven Birds and Five Fire Fans" is actually an illusion, similar to Qi Xuansu's transformation into a Dharma statue to hold herself up.

Wu Niang also noticed Qi Xuansu's gaze: "What are you looking at?"

Qi Xuansu said: "I think it is better to discuss some things openly and honestly in advance. Our trip to the New World this time will not be smooth sailing, and there may be many difficulties and obstacles. As Wu Niang can see, I am a cultivator in the creation stage. Personally speaking, it is not low, but in a war between countries, it is not much higher. So I would like to ask Wu Niang, what is your current level of cultivation? "

Wu Niang was not surprised by this problem: "I will divide it into two situations. The first situation is that the immortal controls it personally, which depends on the immortal's own cultivation. I mainly play a role in assisting. Your current cultivation level is still far away, let’s not talk about this situation for the moment. The second situation is that there is no immortal to control it, and I am just free to use it. Then I am probably equivalent to a pseudo-immortal, and I can resist one or two when facing the immortal. , but not an opponent.”

The sign of a pseudo-immortal is that he has the ability to fight back when faced with an immortal. Although he cannot win, at least he cannot be easily killed by an immortal. For example, Qiniang was able to delay the fight against Chen Shuhua for a moment or two, and was not defeated in one confrontation.

There is no difference between heaven and earth if there is a level difference, and there is no saying that one level above can kill everyone.

Whether God Lu Wu fights against the Taoist immortals, or Wu Yang fights one against five after the six enlightened witches turn against each other, or Xu Zu fights against other Taoist ancestors with a cultivation level of a calamity immortal, the final result is that the cultivation level is higher The people are outnumbered.

Wu Niang continued: "I fought against Xu Zu back then, but I could only block his first 'Tai Yi Technique' and suffered some injuries."

Qi Xuansu was still a little shocked.

"Taiyi Technique" is the most lethal among the five innate gods. Master Lan Da can fight against two gods by one person because of "Taiyi Technique". Xu Zu is even more powerful than Master Lan Da, and Wu Niang can fight with Xu Zu fought and finally escaped unscathed, with only injuries. This shows that his actual combat ability is far superior to that of the Huayuan Taoist priests.

Qi Xuansu was shocked and couldn't help but ask: "It has been more than two hundred years since Xu Zu was alive. Wuniang, you haven't been able to make any further progress?"

Wu Niang said helplessly: "Innate shackles, this is already the limit, we can't go any further. It's not just me, more than two hundred years have passed, have the three great evil things ever gone further?"

Qi Xuansu was speechless.

This is true. This is the advantage of born creatures over acquired creations. Creatures have infinite possibilities, but creation has an upper limit. In other words, living things are the creations of heaven and earth, which are more perfect than the creations made by human power.
