Pawn Crossing the River

After Qi Xuansu's speech, no matter what the people below thought, there was bound to be thunderous applause.

If you move a little bit on the seats, you can also cover up the past with unintentional mistakes. If you really want to be silent, use this almost public way to slap Qi Xuansu in the face. The first thing you will hit is not Qi Xuansu's face, but Shi Daren's face.

Because it was Master Shi Da who decided to award Qi Xuansu the title of Friends of Dao Palace, Friends of Dao Palace can be regarded as an achievement promoted by Master Shi Da. When Qi Xuansu spoke, he also made it clear at the beginning: Master Shi Da asked me to prepare, and I am sincerely frightened.

If Qi Xuansu is treated indifferently by the audience after his speech, are you targeting Qi Xuansu? Or is it that the drunkard's intention is not to drink, but to target Master Shi Da? Do you think Shi Daren’s decision was wrong?

In any case, Qi Xuansu is from Beichen Hall and cannot control them. This is one of the reasons why they are confident. Master Shi Da is different. As the Master of the Palace, he can actually decide the future of some people. Not to mention, Master Shi Da is still a member of Jinque Xiaoyi.

However, Qi Xuansu can be sure that there will soon be rumors that he, Qi Xuansu, is too arrogant, looks down on the people in the Wanxiang Dao Palace, and even uses his past experience as an excuse. After all, Qi Xuansu's experience in the Wanxiang Dao Palace is not very outstanding, and there is no As for the award, it can only be said that it is quite satisfactory. His truly outstanding experiences came after leaving the Wanxiang Dao Palace.

Even though Taoism has been transformed into Confucianism for so many years, the idea that all people are inferior and only those who study well is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

This set is still very powerful. It first demonstrates that Qi Xuansu's performance in Wanxiang Taoist Palace is not good, and then raises a question, since Qi Xuansu's performance is not good, why was he promoted so quickly? From this we can draw the conclusion that it must be a privilege. If you worship your godmother and hug Master Donghua’s thigh, can you not rise quickly?

Then there is a reason to criticize and slander him, and then wipe out all Qi Xuansu's efforts and achievements.

There is a logic in this. Reading performance directly determines the height of life. People who are good at studying will definitely be good at being officials. If they are not good at doing so, it must be because the general environment is not good.

This is really the view of a scholar. Transforming what you learn from books into practice and applying what you have learned is not just about talking, it also requires a certain amount of ability. If you can only learn but cannot use it, then you are studying to death.

So the real reason is that people who are good enough are good at anything, including reading, being an official, fighting, etc. And some people are just suitable for reading exams, not good enough.

Because these people have certain similarities and overlaps in reading with good enough people, they mistakenly think that they are also good enough people. When good enough people soar into the sky and they can't get ahead, they start to blame others.

There is no shortage of people like this in the Taoist palace who can read but are not good enough.

Qi Xuansu doesn't care about this. There are many people who slander him, including these.

When the title of Friend of Qi Xuan Su Dao Palace was awarded, it was time for a banquet.

Because the Chinese-style banquet was too serious and the hierarchy was too strict and clear, which was not conducive to showing the approachability of real people, it was changed to a more relaxed Western-style banquet. Huangfuji was still a little unaccustomed to it. After all, this was a big taboo in Xidaomen.

In addition to the normal red wine, rice wine, and white wine, this banquet also prepared "Drunken Life and Dreams of Death". This is the most famous wine. When Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu were not yet developed, it was difficult for them to drink such good wine. Wine, because half of the family's wealth was spent on just one drink. Obviously, this was a specification, and it was mainly aimed at the guests of Xidaomen. If Master Shi Daren or Sun Hewu hadn't spoken out, Dao Palace would have been reluctant to take it out.

Qi Xuansu is known as "a teetotaler" in public, but he only made an exception for Zhang Yuelu. There is an element of exaggeration here, how can he be a teetotaler? However, under normal circumstances, Qi Xuansu does not drink much, especially the kind of wine that can make him drunk.

So he just ordered a glass of rice wine and pretended.

People kept coming to propose toasts to Qi Xuansu. Qi Xuansu was not so arrogant that he refused them all, but he was just pretending and had no real intention to drink. His status is high enough, and he has a certain halo around him. Whether it is the defeat of Wang Jiaohe or the evil reputation of Beichen Hall, many people can be in awe and dare not get involved.

It is true that some people are picking trouble with Qi Xuansu, and there are also many people who are afraid of Qi Xuansu.

This is because the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds.

But there are also those who are blind and insist on fighting Qi Xuansu.

An assistant manager came to Qi Xuansu, accompanied by several people, and wanted to toast Qi Xuansu, and even wanted to share the wine. This kind of wine fight is also very particular. You can't use your cultivation to resolve the hangover, just rely on your own drinking capacity. Otherwise, it would not be a fight over wine, but a fight over realm and cultivation. Not only would the fight fail to achieve a result, it would also be a waste of wine.

Under normal circumstances, anyone who secretly uses his cultivation skills must have a bad drink. If we continue to use the rhetoric that wine quality equals character, we can relate it to bad character. So no one will do anything.

However, a martial artist has an innate advantage and his physique is there. Few people would ask a martial artist to have a drinking contest with him.

This is also the reason why these people dare to challenge Qi Xuansu for a drink. In terms of cultivation, we are not as good as you, but our ability to drink is another matter. The key is that there are many people. They didn't know that Qi Xuansu was a martial artist, and now everyone in the Taoist sect agreed that Qi Xuansu was a banished immortal.

Speaking of which, Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu are also well-known for their drinking capacity. Zhang Yuelu is famous for his ability to drink well and can beat a "drunken man" without having to cultivate himself. Generally, no one goes to Zhang Yuelu's place to feel uncomfortable. Every drinking party , Zhang Yuelu was in an invincible and lonely situation, drinking his own drink. Qi Xuansu is known as "a teetotaler", so others will inevitably think, why don't you drink? Can't I drink it? It is reasonable for husband and wife to complement each other.

So there was this wine fight.

They probably don't know how Qi Xuansu punished people who gave him alcohol when he was in the Taoist government in Borneo.

Qi Xuansu naturally refused all the drinks.

This assistant manager is a stranger. Although he is smiling hard, his face is evil. He may be flattering to others, but he must be harsh to others. Qi Xuansu rejected him, and he felt a little embarrassed on his face.

Qi Xuansu probably knows this person's mentality. Both of them are second-grade Taiyi Taoist priests. Neither of them has any knowledge. They may also be promoted to the master palace. This assistant is a disciple of the seventh generation and is older than Qi Xuansu. He may think that The two of them are on the same level and should respect each other.

In his opinion, if Qi Xuansu didn't drink his toast, he wouldn't give him face, and he was being arrogant. This is obviously because he is arrogant and cannot tolerate any disobedience. He really regards himself as a person.

Speaking of which, there are quite a few such people. After all, to reach the position of second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest, everyone has some connections. Take Pei Xiaolou as an example. Apart from having a good character, he doesn't have anything else, so why should he gain a foothold? Just because my brother is Donghua Zhenren! Although Qi Xuansu had just become a disciple of Zhenren Donghua, the change in his thoughts always lags behind the change in reality, which means that many people have not yet turned this corner.

Qi Xuansu had no intention of delving into the background of Gao Fuli, and just wanted to make a few casual remarks. It happened that at this time, Ning Yuqing came over and also toasted Qi Xuansu.

Ning Yuqing is undoubtedly a beauty, and with her good family background, she is the most beautiful woman in the Wanxiang Taoist Palace. She is the dream fairy of many teachers and Taoist boys. She walked towards this side, and before she even reached Qi Xuansu, she had already attracted the attention of many people.

Men are quite worthless sometimes. Not only do they follow women with their eyes, but also their thoughts and emotions. When they meet a powerful woman, they will inevitably be slipped around, but they still enjoy it. Only when they end up in vain will they realize that they have no regrets. and.

This is especially true for drunk men. When they see a beautiful woman, they have to go up to show off their masculinity. If there is a male companion around this beautiful woman, they will make trouble for that male companion to highlight their own masculinity. powerful. It seems no different from the male birds competing for females.

Ning Yuqing toasted to Qi Xuansu, and Qi Xuansu immediately felt full of malice.

Although most people were afraid of Qi Xuansu's status and did not dare to do anything, Assistant Gao had no such scruples and directly talked about Ning Yuqing. It was strange that Ning Yuqing originally brought a glass of red wine, but he insisted on saying that red wine cannot express Sincerity must be "drunk to death". He also said that Qi Xuansu could not drink his wine, but he had to drink the wine of a beauty. It was the most difficult for him to tolerate the kindness of a beauty.

Qi Xuansu is not a good-tempered person.

There is anger, but I always suppress it and tell myself to control my anger. But some people in the Taoist palace repeatedly provoked him, making his patience run out.

So Qi Xuansu said: "Young Daoist Ning is my friend. You can drink her wine anytime, but I won't drink it today. But Gao Fuli's wine is something you have to drink and you must drink it."

Ning Yuqing glanced at Qi Xuansu in surprise. Out of a woman's intuition, she vaguely felt that Qi Xuansu was angry. So she said nothing and just stepped aside silently.

Assistant Gao was still unaware and said loudly: "Okay, Chief Qi is happy enough!"

Qi Xuansu added: "But I am a person who doesn't want to drink. If I want to drink, I have to drink to the fullest. If anyone gives up halfway, don't blame me for being unkind. All Taoist friends in Borneo Taoist Prefecture know this." of."

The few people following Gao Fuli were glanced at by Qi Xuansu, and they felt a chill on their backs. They wanted to give in, but because their boss refused to retreat, they could only bite the bullet and agree.

Qi Xuansu ordered: "Take two jars of 'Drunken Life, Dreaming of Death.'"

Ning Yuqing immediately asked the Taoist next to her to get the wine.

Soon, two altars of "Drunk Life and Dreams of Death" were delivered to Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu said: "No need to cultivate."

After saying that, Qi Xuansu opened a jar of wine and drank it all in one go. Qi Xuansu's face turned red because he didn't use his cultivation to resist, but Qi Xuansu relied on his martial arts body to stand still.

Qi Xuansu blushed, and Gao Fuli turned pale.

Only then did he realize that he had made the wrong calculation: "W-what do you mean?"

"What did you say?" Qi Xuansu snorted coldly, "Drink."

Gao Fuli wanted to say something else, but he heard Qi Xuansu say: "Gao Fuli just said so much, why his admiration for me is like a torrential river, is it all bullshit? Do you look down on me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Xuansu pinched the back of his neck: "Since you don't drink, then I will help you."

Qi Xuansu's attack was like lightning. In just a blink of an eye, Qi Xuansu poured a jar of wine into Gao Fuli's mouth. Qi Xuansu also did not forget to seal Gao Fuli's cultivation so that he could not use his cultivation to resolve it.

For a moment, Gao Fuli felt like the world was spinning. He had completely forgotten his last name and his ancestors for eight generations.

As for the other people, they were not spared and soon became ugly.

This incident made Master Shi Dazhen extremely angry, and he suspended Assistant Gao from all his duties that day and asked him to wait for handling.
