Pawn Crossing the River

Zhang Yuelu may not be afraid of the verbal criticism from these people. After all, they are not professionals in this field and have average abilities. The real professionals are controlled by the Three Dao, responsible for the business of Qingping Bookstore and Di Newspaper, such as the group of people who smeared Qi Xuansu. In essence, these people still rely on their own influence to spread, inheriting the practices of ancient literati.

As for influence, it is there. The main business of these people is various academic construction and research. There are many who are really talented and learned, and there are also many who are just pretending. Many Taoist priests who cannot succeed on another path often find another path, change their track, and change their teaching name, which is mixed with the real teaching, making it difficult to distinguish.

In fact, Qi Xuansu saw clearly that Zhang Yuelu was the most fearless when he was alone, but when he had a weakness, he was a little at a loss what to do. After all, Zhang Yuelu didn't want to involve Xiao Yin, so he pulled away. This also reflects the conservative way of thinking. For the sake of children, it is nothing to lose face.

As Qiniang said, those middle-aged men with families are the best to handle. On the contrary, it is the little bachelors who have enough to eat for one person and the whole family is not hungry. They are not easy to control.

In the past, Qi Xuansu belonged to this kind of person, so Qi Xuansu at that time was a little light on life and death.

Of course, the current Qi Xuansu is not the same, but such a short time is not enough for Qi Xuansu to completely change his temperament. He really wanted to go up to him and ask for an explanation.

When others say you have bad morals, you'd better not be moral.

The world always likes to look for flaws in good people and good skin in people covered with sores.

However, in this matter, Qi Xuansu couldn't go to Master Shi Da directly. That would be a bit too ignorant, and it would be easy to offend Master Shi Da and make things difficult. So Qi Xuansu found the old master Sun Hewu. The two had equal status and had some discussions.

Of course, Qi Xuansu respects this old master very much and will not really break up with him. This requires hard words and soft words.

Because Qi Xuansu and Huangfu Ji would go to the Wanxiang Dao Palace with Shi Daren and others. After arriving at the Wanxiang Dao Palace, there would be various visits and speeches, so it was a bit late. So Qi Xuansu rushed to see Sun Hewu at the last minute before departure. After meeting Sun Hewu, he had to meet Xu Dacheng to talk about Audrey.

Qi Xuansu felt deeply that there was not enough time, so he didn't mean not to accompany his father-in-law and mother-in-law, but he really didn't have any time.

Qi Xuansu also specially brought half a catty of tea. It is said that there are only a few old tea trees left in the world, and the annual output is less than ten catties. Emperor Daxuan and the three masters are not enough to share this, not counting the great master. One serving. It's strange to say that the annual output is less than ten kilograms, but this tea is spread every year. Everyone claims to be authentic and has almost become a brand. I can't finish it. As for the truth or falsehood, you can experience it yourself.

Qi Xuansu didn't have the ability to get half a catty out of less than ten catties, so he bought the half catty in Yujing, which is basically what it means. It's not like he's asking for help, he's just asking for help.

After Qi Xuansu met Sun Hewu, he presented him with gifts and talked a few words, such as his experiences in the New World, and then suddenly turned to Xiao Yin's affairs.

Sun Hewu was not caught off guard by Qi Xuansu. After all, it was Lao Jianghu. In fact, when he knew that Qi Xuansu was going to visit, he had already expected it.

It's just that the wife and children were bullied, and the man in charge rushed back from outside to demand an explanation. Human nature.

Sun Hewu considered his words: "Tianyuan, you are trying to settle an old score."

"Mr. Sun, I'm not here today to talk about business, but to talk about personal affairs." Qi Xuansu said in a calm tone, "Mr. Sun, you have been in the Wanxiang Dao Palace for most of your life, and the Wanxiang Dao Palace is your home. As for me, I don't know where I was born. , but I grew up in the Wanxiang Taoist Palace. I am familiar with every plant and tree there, and have a deep affection for the Wanxiang Taoist Palace. We are a family. You have to distinguish between the inside and outside. Who is your family and who is. Some people sneak in from outside, but their roots are not in Wanxiang Dao Palace."

Sun Hewu had to say: "This is indeed true. You are the son of Dao Palace."

Qi Xuansu emphasized his tone slightly: "Mr. Sun, I am a child of the Taoist palace. Is my child a child of the Taoist palace? I will give my child to

What's the purpose of going to Taoist Palace? It’s not this friendship! This is like sending a child into the hands of grandparents. You should be reassured. The results of it? Hot face against cold ass! What does this make the other children from the Dao Palace think? Is this still home? "

Sun Hewu was speechless.

Qi Xuansu slowed down his tone and said, "I know you are in trouble, Master Shi Da is also in trouble. If you are not crazy, deaf, or a family man, there are some things that are difficult for you. The palms and backs of your hands are all flesh. If you take a step back, the world will be brighter."

Sun Hewu said: "Tianyuan, you can think so, I am very happy."

Qi Xuansu changed the topic: "So my requirements are not high, I only ask for one thing, and that is fairness."

Sun Hewu asked: "What is fair?"

Qi Xuansu emphasized his tone again: "We don't worry about the scarcity but the inequality. I just ask, if it wasn't me, Qi Xuansu, but Li Changge this time, would they dare to do this?"

Sun Hewu was speechless again.

He is a kind man and cannot tell lies with his eyes open.

If it were Li Changge's daughter, would they dare to do this?

The answer is no.

This is the majesty of Lao Li's family.

The Li family had accumulated prestige for three hundred years before the Taoist sect was revived. Even if the Wanxiang Taoist Palace was far away from the Li family, they would not dare to do this.

The majesty of the Li family was forged with blood. It's not that no one has challenged it. Most of those people are already dead.

In other words, the Li family really dared to kill people. From Jiangling Mansion to Jinling Mansion, to setting fire to Xuanwu Temple, there was nothing they dared not do.

The Li family is famous for its unity when it comes to being united in dealing with the outside world.

If you provoke the daughter of the Li family, your life will be long.

Maybe someone said that Zhang Yuelu is still a member of the Zhang family.

There are two reasons for this.

The first reason is that in the dispute between Zhang and Li, the Zhang family has been at a disadvantage. This is an indisputable fact. The even bigger fact is that the Zhang family has been at a disadvantage since Xuansheng. Although Xuansheng is a public servant, in objective fact, Xuansheng killed the deposed Tianshi and created a new surnamed Tianshi, which weakened the Zhang family and caused the Zhang family to suffer.

It is true that the Li family was also suppressed by Xuansheng, but the Li family turned around very quickly and sincerely admitted their mistakes every time. After all, they were their ancestors, so there was no shame in bowing their heads and admitting their mistakes. Mrs. Xuansheng was more protective of the Li family. The elders of the Li family, headed by Donghuang, surrounded Mrs. Xuansheng, which preserved the strength of the Li family without any damage. Even later, Xuansheng had to admit that Taiping Tao was the one that made him most at ease, far more reliable than the two-faced Quanzhen Tao and the Zhengyi Tao that had caused trouble several times. Therefore, Xuansheng assigned Beichen Tang, who was responsible for the defense of Yujing, Also handed over to Taiping Road.

In a word, if Taiping Tao is not strong, then why is Quanzhen Tao and Zhengyi allied?

The second reason is that Zhang Yuelu was born in a small sect, which caused her to lack the mentality of life and death that she had cultivated since childhood. And because she comes from a noble family, she has no experience at the bottom, and lacks the true feeling that human life is as worthless as grass.

To put it bluntly, Zhang Yuelu still respects human life and treats people as human beings, so he promotes reforms. In many cases, not daring to kill means that someone is kind and easy to bully. Everyone knows that Li Changge dares to kill people and uses Daomen's sword to win more for Daomen. How many people will die? Naturally, he did not dare to provoke the Li family. Zhang Yuelu respects human life and is unwilling to kill people at will. If he is picky, he will naturally dare to slap Zhang Yuelu.

That's why Qi Xuansu said that Zhang Yuelu had a Machiavellian appearance and seemed to have means, but his heart was still soft. Zhang Yuelu also admits this. This is her strength and weakness.

As for Qi Xuansu.

He rarely kills people, and he also lacks the mentality of life and death that he has cultivated since childhood. But he has had experience at the bottom, and he knows what it means to be human life as cheap as grass. If he can take his own life seriously, he can also take the lives of others as a low priority.

Do you really think he is a good person?

When did Qi Xuansu say that he was a good person?

If you bully him, you may have made the wrong calculation.

Qi Xuansu said: "Qing Xiao is a good person, does a good person deserve to be pointed at with a bludgeon?"

Sun Hewu sighed: "In this matter, it is indeed the Taoist palace that feels sorry for Chief Zhang.

. "

Qi Xuansu said: "You just talked about settling old scores. My old score is the Dragon Tiger Club back then. You haven't given me a clear explanation yet. I don't have to worry about the Dragon Tiger Club, but I must give me an explanation for Xiao Yin's incident. I'm not afraid of other people making irresponsible remarks behind my back. I can handle it myself, but my time is limited and I can't investigate it slowly. I would like to ask you to show me a way."

Sun Hewu took a deep look at Qi Xuansu: "Tianyuan, you are forcing me to choose one of the two. Anyway, you are a child raised by the Taoist palace. After all, your roots are in the Taoist palace."

"These teachings in our Taoist palace are based on the top of the mountain. They are roughly divided into two factions. Taiping Dao and Zhengyi are headed by the Li family and the Zhang family respectively. They are both from aristocratic families and do not participate much in this aspect. The two factions are mainly Quan The Quanzhen Tao sect originates from the Creation Project, and can even be traced back to the Eight Tribes Plan and even the Ge Zaodao period. It has a large number of people, groups into gangs, lecturers, family trees, seniority, and needle insertion. If you don't go in, you can't get in. The Grand Master Sect originated from the Quanzhen Taoist sect, but later split from the Quanzhen Taoist sect and formed its own system. It gradually became stronger and always wanted to replace it with the Quanzhen Taoist sect. "

"Of course, there are still many teachers, who are neither the Quanzhen Taoist sect nor the Grandmaster Taoist sect. They are talents cultivated by our Taoist palace. These people are all retail investors. Counting up, most of the masters and ancestors have not participated in the Eight Divisions. They have also made great contributions in all walks of life, but they are often squeezed out by these two groups when it comes to merit."

"This circle is a bit like a river and lake. In addition to great ability, it also depends on how many people there are and how few people have the final say. During the period of the Five Dynasties Great Master, he felt this kind of chaos and took the pains to rectify it. At that time, all the masters of the palace were airborne, and they stopped for a while. During the period of the Sixth Generation Master, they shouted that laymen leading experts were not conducive to achieving results, and they wanted to implement autonomy. At that time, they did not care about these disputes. , let them govern themselves. Now it seems that it is not much better. If the laymen are squeezed out, they can free their hands and encircle the land. "
