Pawn Crossing the River

At the end of the ceremony, Qi Xuansu had a long conversation with Master Donghua. The main content of this conversation was about the New World, that is, the issue of Kukulkan and Ixichel.

When it comes to gods, Qi Xuansu deeply feels that it is not a problem that he can solve by himself, and he must report it to the higher-ups.

Master Donghua suggested that this should be reported to Qi Xuansu’s immediate superior, Master Qingwei, in advance, and then a discussion outside the scope of Jinque should be held to discuss the issue.

There are many reasons why it is emphasized that it is not within the scope of Jinque. One of the reasons is to add an outsider, Huangfu Ji.

So Qi Xuansu reported to his boss Qingwei Zhenren again.

Soon, the list for this meeting was finalized. The standards are quite high. Apart from Qi Xuansu and Huangfu Ji, there are only four people, namely Donghua Zhenren, Qingwei Zhenren, Cihang Zhenren and Jiang Dazhen. Jinque happens to be ranked among the top four.

There were six people in total, and the meeting place was Chiming Palace.

After Qi Xuansu briefly introduced the situation, he concluded: "It is obvious that the ancient gods are divided internally, which is very detrimental to the stability of the overall situation."

Master Jiang Dazhen looked at Huangfu Ji: "What do you think, fellow Taoist Huangfu?"

Huangfu expressed a conservative attitude very cautiously: "Although Xidaomen has always supported Kukulkan, this kind of separatist tendency is intolerable to us, and we cannot sit idly by."

Donghua Zhenren got straight to the point: "What do you think? Putting aside the differences between us, no matter which route it is, these ancient gods are an important force for us to resist the steam gospel, so no matter how we deal with it, we still have to fight for it Minimize losses.”

Master Cihang said: "If you want to reduce losses, you must cut through the mess quickly. If you pull it repeatedly, it will eventually become a quagmire, which may involve everyone."

Cihang's meaning is very simple. If it is a change of dynasty and only the losses are looked at without considering the long-term problems and subsequent effects, then the loss of the palace change will be the smallest. If the pull is repeated and it becomes a competition among all the princes in the world, then the losses will be difficult to estimate and may even be unbearable.

Therefore, Master Donghua said that losses should be minimized, and Master Cihang took advantage of the situation and proposed to cut the knot with a sharp knife.

The logic here is progressive layer by layer.

Qingwei Zhenren said: "I agree to cut the knot with a sharp sword. You will drink from the golden cup together, but you will not forgive each other with a white blade. The question now is, who should I kill if I raise a sharp sword with a white blade?"

Master Jiang Dazhen looked at Huangfu Ji again: "We are not in the New World after all, and we don't understand many things. Let's ask fellow Taoist Huangfu to talk about it."

Huangfuji was well prepared for this question and replied: "Gods are different from humans, especially these ancient gods. Their thoughts and ways of thinking are very different from ours. Immortals, immortals, are also humans after all. They only live for a hundred years. , I dare not say anything about what will happen after thousands of years, but within the scope of a hundred years, whether it is our two immortals from the West Dao Sect or the immortals from the Tao Sect, they are still human thoughts and ways of thinking. This is beyond doubt. So we can sit here and talk."

"The ancient gods have existed for too long. Time has erased their humanity. In addition, their bodies have turned into divine bodies, which are Shinto golden bodies. Their thoughts and thinking have been alienated. They call it divinity. And they are arrogant and arrogant, such as giving up 'him' and using 'him' instead. Considering this premise, when we look at the issue of ancient gods, we will find that we cannot analyze it simply from one aspect, but must consider it from multiple aspects. ”

"I'm afraid this is not just an issue of power struggle between ancient gods, but also involves issues of faith. This is a very complex issue. Not to mention these ancient gods, it is the Taoist sect and the Holy Court. Many disagreements and conflicts arise from this. Come."

Master Jiang Dazhen agreed: "It makes sense. The issue of faith is a big issue, and it can really affect the human world. If the influence of the disputes between the ancient gods spreads from the Kingdom of God to the human world, causing turmoil, it will be a disaster. It must not be allowed.”

Master Qingwei added: "It is not allowed to affect the belief in Taozu."

These words are irrefutable. Regardless of people from the Taoist sect or the Xidao sect, Taozu is the biggest consensus, even greater than Xuansheng. Xuansheng is the ancestor of ZTE, but Daozu is the ancestor of creation.

Huangfuji continued: "There is another problem here, which is the problem of the consequences of raising tigers."

Master Donghua asked: "How do you say that?"

Huangfu Ji said: "In the earliest times, although Kukulkan was not the main god, he was still a god, Quetzalcoatl. On the basis of Quetzalcoatl, Kukulkan took over the position of the main god of the Sun God, which was already a step forward. In one step, he devoured the priesthood of Missir Sun God, and in another step, I think Kukulkan has a tendency to have big goals and will never be willing to just be our ally."

"If we cut off Ixichel and help Kukulkan eliminate a powerful opponent, can Kukulkan go one step further? If Kukulkan becomes the Immortal of One Calamity, will there be any The problem of not losing the big tail? If Kukulkan can unify the beliefs of the southern continent, it is not impossible to become the Second Tribulation Immortal. Although he cannot come directly, he can directly intervene in the human world through various means and occupy the advantage of the geographical advantage in the Kingdom of God. , it is almost invincible, we can attack, retreat or defend, except when the end comes, there is probably nothing we can do about it.”

Master Qingwei looked at Huangfuji and said, "Fellow Taoist Huangfu, do you mean to take this opportunity to capture Kukulkan?"

Huangfu Ji said: "In addition to killing people, I can support Ixichel, the way of balance, the principle of yin and yang."

Master Jiang Da said: "We also have to consider the impact. In any case, this Ixichel took the initiative to show his kindness to us, and even gave an allusion to how Master Yan recruited Master An Taiyin. If we If you backhand Ischiel, it will be ugly. It will not look good, sound bad, and will not be easy to say. It will also be a major blow to our credibility. Who will dare to move closer to us in the future? It will even affect the recent pilot projects? Some clandestine associations have been normalized.”

Master Donghua said: "What Mr. Jiang said is absolutely true. This is indeed an unavoidable issue."

Qi Xuansu was not qualified to interrupt. He mainly listened and was filled with emotion at this time.

As the old saying goes, organized is better than unorganized. There are many immortals on the Taoist side, and they have a strict organization, so they can decide the life or death of another immortal. Therefore, the world has changed, and there is no future for being a wild fairy. There is no freedom, and no one can be comfortable. Only by reaching the pinnacle of power, or reaching the pinnacle of strength, can one stretch one's legs.

This meeting did not follow the Jinque procedure, so naturally no resolution would be reached.

This meeting is similar to the three-person meeting of the Palace Master, the Chief, and the Second Seat. Although the three-person meeting is not a formal decision-making body and cannot decide major issues, but before the official meeting of the head of the palace, the real person in charge convenes the two deputies to communicate and exchange opinions in advance to determine the topic and direction of the discussion, but in fact, as long as this is The three of them have reached an agreement, and whether it is a palace master's meeting or a Taoist government meeting, it can usually pass smoothly.

The same is true for this meeting. Excluding Qi Xuansu and Huangfu Ji, the remaining four people just represent the three Taoist and Grand Master lineages. As long as the four people reach an agreement in advance, the next Jinque discussion will be a formality.

The so-called small meeting for big things is a small meeting with a very small scope.

Qi Xuansu holds a small notebook in his left hand and a pen in his right hand. His expression is serious, he nods occasionally, and keeps writing at the same time.

At first glance, Qi Xuansu seems to be recording the speeches of his superiors. This attitude is worthy of serious study by young Taoist priests.

In fact, Qi Xuansu's little book is filled with his own name - Qi Xuansu is practicing signing. After all, the three words he usually writes the most are "Qi Xuansu", various instructions, and various replies. This is his appearance. You may not be able to practice well other characters such as "face" and "face". You must practice these three characters well, and it is best to have some distinctive personal characteristics.

Although this kind of small meeting was of great importance, Qi Xuansu had little room to speak. After introducing the situation, he entered a state of waiting for instructions. There was really nothing to do.

As for whether he is serious or not, Qi Xuansu, who personally goes into battle to carry out orders, doesn't worry, and others don't have to worry. If he wants to lose his life, Qi Xuansu will be the first to lose his life.

I have to say that Xiao Yin has indeed learned a lot of "good traditions" from Qi Xuansu in the past two years.

For example, that serious nod, and pretending to look up at the sky, etc.

Even meeting minutes are included.

When Zhang Yuelu reprimanded Xiao Yin before, Xiao Yin would often record it in a small book seriously, nodding his head in a serious manner, and looking like he had changed his past mistakes.

At first, Zhang Yuelu thought that this girl had changed her gender. Later, she wanted to know what Xiao Yin had remembered. She took a look at the notebook and found that this ghost girl was drawing turtles in the notebook, big turtles, small turtles, and A humanoid turtle that can stand and walk.

Zhang Yuelu was so angry at that time that he learned this trick at a young age.

No need to ask, I must have learned it from Qi Xuansu.

Where did Qi Xuansu learn it? No need to ask, it must have been taught by Qiniang! ..

The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.

Isn’t this the beginning of a conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?

When Qi Xuansu finally developed a satisfactory signature, the discussion came to an end.

Because it does not involve line disputes and power struggles within the Taoist sect, there will be no tension in the Jinque discussion.

The four Taoist figures, Master Donghua, Master Qingwei, Master Cihang, and Master Jiang Dazhen, after combining Qi Xuansu's report and Huangfuji's opinions, reached a preliminary unity on the general direction.

Leave Ixichel alone for the time being and focus on investigating the situation in Kukulkan.

As for whether to strike a balance or get rid of Kukulkan, who is too big to get rid of, it depends on the final result of the investigation.

Based on this investigation result, the four people will discuss it again. When the discussion is almost complete, they will go to Jinque to go through the process, form a decision, and issue it for implementation.

Who holds the results of this investigation?

It's in Qi Xuansu's hands.

Otherwise, Qi Xuansu is in a key position and holds a high position of power.

Qi Xuansu really wanted Kukulkan to die, which was not difficult to do, so Ixichel had to lower his profile and beg him.

Of course, this is an irresponsible attitude. If there are any serious consequences, Qi Xuansu will also be responsible for it.

Qi Xuansu still needs to conduct the investigation in a serious, responsible and realistic manner.
