Pawn Crossing the River

After Huangfuji experienced a little shock in the "Tianting", he returned to Tianfu Palace with Qi Xuansu, and the two also talked about the topic of "suffering".

Qi Xuansu expressed his views. Taoism advocates frugality and pays attention to grassroots experience. This can probably be regarded as the category of hard work, and the difference between hard work and suffering should not be confused.

Suffering is suffering, neither noble nor despicable. It is an objective reality.

We should not forget the lessons brought by suffering, but we should not be obsessed with the suffering itself. ??

This is a bit metaphysical. If the Taoist priests from Daomen and Xidaomen could explain it in detail, they could write a long masterpiece.

Huangfuji soon turned his attention to sea trade. The reason why Daomen prospered in sea trade was inseparable from tolerance and openness. However, the Southern Continent tended to be conservative as a whole and had no conditions to open up. Therefore, in addition to the military industry, , development is difficult, and it is extremely dependent on the assistance of Taomen.

Each generation has its own responsibilities and missions.

The primary goal of Tantai Zhenxiao’s generation is to fight against the Steam Gospel and strive for independence.

How to find a development path suitable for the Southern Continent and open up a new era is what Huangfuji's generation needs to consider.

Qi Xuansu's proposition is bold innovation, equality and mutual assistance, and harmonious development. This is more in line with the needs of Huangfuji and Nanlu than the other three. Therefore, the good relationship between Huangfuji and Qi Xuansu is not as simple as falling in love at first sight, but has profound practical significance.

Especially the last eight words "equality" and "harmony" are particularly important to Huangfuji.

If Li Changge comes to power and intervenes too forcefully in the internal affairs of Xidaomen and Southern Continent, it will easily lead to hostility between the two parties. This also has very profound practical significance.

In fact, when you choose your position in the team, your friends and enemies are also determined.

this is the truth.

This has little to do with Qi Xuansu's character.

Huangfuji's frequent expressions of goodwill have invisibly boosted Qi Xuansu's momentum. Although Xidaomen cannot interfere with Jinque's major decisions, it does not mean that Daomen can completely ignore Xidaomen's attitude. Such a huge body is placed there , whose very existence can change the situation. Just like mountains, even if mountains do nothing, they can still permanently change a place's environment.

When the interests of both parties converge, and both of them intend to maintain a stable and even develop the relationship, their personal relationship will naturally be good.

When the two returned to Tianfu Palace, Zhang Yuelu also came back with Xiao Yin - Lin Yuanmiao was not as interested in Xiao Yin as before, mainly with Ji Jiaozhen.

, Pei Xiaolou mixed together, drank and fished for whales, so uncomfortable. Of course, Lin Yuanmiao would not say that. He would only say that Xiao Yin should focus on studying and not laugh and laugh all day long.

Qi Xuansu invited Huangfu Ji to a family banquet in a private name.

This has nothing to do with business, but mainly to consolidate personal friendships.

The family banquet was attended by four people, including Qi Xuansu's family of three and Huangfu Ji.

Xiao Yin is not a child who is afraid of birth, but a child who has seen the world. The three great demons have watched her grow up. Old Lin is her good friend. The real Qingwei who has not yet become an immortal at that time personally gave her four sacrificial wines. As a Taoist priest, she also fought against Wu Guangbi and Sun Heyu, both of whom were fake immortals. Huangfuji is also a fake immortal, it's no big deal.

Huangfu Ji liked Xiao Yin very much. He was a radical and a bold person. Naturally, he also liked bold children. Xiao Yin's behavior suited him very well. If he was timid and timid, he would not hate it, but he would never hate it. Not to mention liking it.

At the banquet, Zhang Yuelu talked about some of Xiao Yin's deeds, such as his heroic performance against Sun Heyu, rushing up to hug Sun Heyu's thigh and then being stabbed in the mouth by Sun Heyu, and being blocked by Qi Xuansu with his own life. Cannon, as well as the sharp eyes to catch Li Tianzhen and so on.

This doesn't even count the things that the goddesses do.

At this time, Huangfu Ji finally knew that Xiao Yin was not Qi Xuansu's biological daughter, but he also understood why Qi Xuansu liked Xiao Yin so much. The same would be true if it were him.

Huangfu was very generous and gave Xiao Yin a gift. He would not leave anything behind. The gift was not valuable but rare. It was a signet ring.

In the past, Western dignitaries had to carry their seals with them wherever they went. However, there is always a fear of losing the seal when you carry it with you, and since it represents power and identity, it must be displayed. For this reason, they put the seal on their hands, which later evolved into the form of a ring. Compared with ordinary rings, the seal takes the place of the gemstone.

This seal ring comes from a cardinal deacon of the Steam Gospel. He died in the hands of Huangfu Ji. Huangfu Ji was not interested in anything else but left this seal ring. The seal pattern comes from an ancient tradition that has lasted for thousands of years. Family, Westerners call this heraldry.

All in all, it's very memorable.

Other children might not be interested in this kind of thing. But Xiaoyin is different. Those who are close to red are red and those who are close to ink are black.

, she has understood the importance of power under the influence of her ears and eyes, and she knows how to give in and make concessions when playing house. If power could be embodied in an object, it would definitely be a seal, and the "National Seal" is also a large seal.

Xiao Yin took the signet ring and looked around. She was very happy and changed her name to "Lao Huang" on the spot.

Because Xiao Yin's hands were too small to put on the ring, she found a thin thread and threaded it through, hanging it around her neck as a pendant. It is foreseeable that certain places in Thian Hock Temple and Sajik Palace and Fire Palace will soon have some inexplicable stamp marks, which is equivalent to "visiting here."

A family banquet where guests and hosts enjoy themselves.

Although Huangfuji still wanted to walk around Nanyang and see more, his schedule and time did not allow it, so he had to go to Yujing. There, the National Preceptor, who is the Grand Master on duty, is waiting, as are the three princes of the Taoist sect and the Masters of Jinque Shenzhi.

Qi Xuansu could not stay in Borneo for too long and had to accompany Huangfuji to Yujing. After all, his main task this time is to report on his work, not to go home to visit relatives. ??

In the early morning of the third day, Qi Xuansu and Huangfu Ji returned to Shenglong Mansion. After saying goodbye to everyone, they led the delegation to take the "Sun Boat" and slowly lifted into the sky.

Qi Xuansu and Huangfuji stood on the deck, overlooking the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains below.

Qi Xuansu leaned on the railing and sighed, "Wealth and honor are what people want. If you don't get it in the right way, you won't get it."

Huangfu stared deeply at Borneo and murmured to himself, "How can I get it with my own way?"

Since the crashes of Feizhou and "Yinglong" occurred one after another, the Taoist sect has attached great importance to the safety of the mission, and all the Taoist governments along the way have sent Feizhou to provide warning and escort.

Huangfuji was not very interested in these inland provinces and simply stayed there.

Although these prefectures are important, their functions are different and they are not as economical as those along the coast.

Now Huangfuji is thinking about the future development of the southern continent. He must start from the coastal provinces. Huangfuji plans to go to Zhongzhou Daofu, Qizhou Daofu, Jiangnan Daofu and other places after his trip to Yujing. Zhongzhou Daofu is where the Wanxiang Taoist Palace is located. It mainly visits and studies the talent reserve construction of Taoism. Qizhou Daofu and Jiangnan Daofu are both coastal Taoist palaces. Like Borneo Taoist Palace, they are one of the economic pillars of Taoism.

The "Sun Boat" entered the Kunlun Taoist territory without incident.

This is the most special Taoist government. One of its main functions is to defend Yujing from all aspects and levels.

There are many secondary functions, such as diverting the excess population of Yujing. As we all know, Yujing is a city of Taoist priests. These Taoist priests also have family members. Not every Taoist priest can settle down in Yujing. Most of the Taoist residents are resettled in Kunlun Taoist Prefecture. . Kunlun Taoist Palace is also a famous "ghost prison". A large number of high-level Taoist priests who have been caught in the net are serving their sentences here, cultivating Taoist temples and building wonders.

The "Sun Boat" also stopped briefly at Kunlun Taoist Mansion, mainly to hand over the prisoner Du Juanzhi.

Li Wuji, the real person in charge of Kunlun Taoist House, personally received the Xidaomen group.

Li Wuji, who was born in the Li family of Taiping Dao, belongs to the generation with the character "you" that "has a destiny". The character "you" is really difficult to name. For example, Li Youdao and Li Youxin are pretty good, but Li Youcai and Li Youfu are inevitably a little bit... It's too down-to-earth and inconsistent with the identity of a dignified Taoist disciple.

After Master Qingwei changed his name to Li Wugu, many Li family members followed suit and changed their names. This made many elders of the Li family very dissatisfied. What kind of words are these! Having a destiny has become a destiny without destiny. Isn't this a curse on the Li family?

Helpless, Master Qingwei is a deviant person, he persists in this, and there is nothing others can do.

Talking back to Li Wuji, this is the senior generation of the Li family. After all, Li Changge is only a minority. Most of the backbone are from the "Heaven" generation. There are really not many people from the "You" generation. By the time they reach the age of old people like the Imperial Master, After death, they are the top of the Li family.

Because the Li family's foreign strategy is bound to squeeze the independent power of Xidaomen, which is inconsistent with Huangfuji's interests, Huangfuji and Li Wuji, two people with "ji" in their names, are only polite on the surface, but in fact they are not There isn't much to talk about. Where the position is, it's unrealistic for the Li family to make a temporary change.

Even if Huangfu really wanted to talk, he would definitely have to talk to the more deviant Qingwei Zhenren, which would be more likely.

As for visiting, the scenery of Kunlun is of course excellent. In addition, there is the Acropolis that is being built. Maybe it is not appropriate to call it the Acropolis. It should be called the Child Mother City. Yujing is the Mother City and these are the child cities.

The white jade capital in the sky has five cities on the twelfth floor. Daomen plans to build five sub-cities, named after the legendary Five Elders of the Five Directions, namely the Eastern Qing Emperor Qing Ling Shi Lao, the Western White Emperor Hao Ling Huang Lao, the Southern Red Emperor Dan Ling Zhen Lao, and the Northern Black Emperor Wu Ling. Xuan Lao, the Central Yellow Emperor Xuan Ling Huang Lao. It would be a bit cliché to call them Qingdi City and Baidi City directly, so each Taoist sect took a word and named them Qingshi City, Haohuang City, Danzhen City, and Wuxuan City.

, Xuanhuang City.

Now Xuanhuang City, Haohuang City, and Qingshi City have been completed, and Danzhen City is being built. The headquarters of Kunlun Taoist Palace is located in Xuanhuang City.
