Pawn Crossing the River

There was silence in the Taoist Hall.

Suddenly someone asked: "May I ask the real person in charge, what crime has Li Tianlan been convicted of now? Is there any clear punishment for Jinque?"

Zhang Jucheng just glanced at him: "As I said just now, the investigation is under way."

Someone else asked: "Excuse me, the governor, who is responsible for the review and investigation?"

Zhang Jucheng said: "Of course Chief Qi of Beichen Hall is personally responsible."

As soon as these words came out, those who usually relied on Li Tianlan no longer took any chances.

If someone else comes from Beichen Hall, there will be some explanation, but if Qi Xuansu comes in person, there will be no explanation.

Qi Xuansu is not only Zhang Yuelu's Taoist companion, but also a disciple of Master Donghua. Master Donghua is Master Qingwei's biggest competitor. No matter which way you look at it, Qi Xuansu will not let Li Tianlan go.

It's ironic to say the least. Zhang Yuelu was full of passion and wanted to seek justice, but failed to do anything to Li Tianlan. Qi Xuansu simply retaliated and made meritorious deeds.

The reason behind this is probably that everyone is not very clean. You can punish Li Tianlan today for the sake of justice, but will you hurt me tomorrow? Of course I won't help you. But if it's a life-and-death struggle, that's another way of saying it. It doesn't matter what's right or wrong, it's just about taking sides. For the sake of power, Qi Xuansu can "get more help."

How could it not be ironic? How not to be sarcastic!

Taoism has been transformed into a Confucian school for so many years, but it still inevitably becomes a Confucian school.

This is even more ironic.

Perhaps the main problem has never been with a Confucian sect, but with some deeper reasons.

Qi Xuansu never shouts slogans. He will not put himself in the position of serving the Taoist government or the people. His main purpose is to fight back against Taiping Dao.

Those random rumors should stop.

Do you really think of him as a soft persimmon?

One is Qi Wangui and the other is Li Tianlan. Fight both the Quanzhen Way and the Taiping Way. One hand eliminates internal opposition and the other hand strikes back external enemies. Grab it with both hands, both hands are hard.

This is establishing prestige.

Qiniang said it well. If you win, you will counterattack and take advantage of the situation. If you lose, you will hold a grudge.

Qi Xuansu did not show up in the lobby of Tianxin Dao Palace. He came to the hell of Tianxin Dao Palace.

Because Li Tianlan has been captured, Wu Guangbi cannot make trouble, and the overall situation has been decided, there is no need to imprison Li Tianlan to Putuo Island again. He should be imprisoned in the underworld according to the rules. People from Fayu Temple will also be transferred to the underworld one after another, and then they will "gather together happily".

A third-grade spiritual officer opened the gate of hell for Qi Xuansu.

It was unknown whether it was day or night in the prison, only the lamp on the stone wall of the passage was glowing with yellow light.

The cell where Li Tianlan is imprisoned is located at the deepest point. The formation is within the formation, isolating all Five Elements Escape Techniques and "Yin Yang Gate" and other means. Even if it is attacked by force, it can withstand a full blow from the creation stage, not to mention that there are many people in the hell. Spirit officer guards. .bμν.

Under the guidance of the spirit officer, Qi Xuansu descended layer by layer and finally arrived outside Li Tianlan's cell. Because only high-quality Taoist priests can enjoy such treatment, this place is not simple and clean. The dark ground even reflects people's shadows. The equally dark walls and ceilings are like mirrors. Li Tianlan has been removed from the lotus crown and crane cloak. He changed into civilian clothes, wore prison gear, and sat on the stone chair in the cell, closing his eyes to relax.

Li Tianlan's consciousness was sealed, but his vision and hearing were not blocked. People in the dark are very sensitive to light. Although Li Tianlan closed his eyes at this time, he soon felt a piece of light gradually getting stronger, and then listened to Undisguised footsteps came this way.

Outside the cell is the interrogation room, complete with tables and chairs, separated by a completely transparent wall.

"Chief Qi, we're here." A spiritual officer's voice sounded. The voice of the spirit officer is always easy to distinguish. Because he wears an airtight mask, his words are always muffled and his original voice cannot be heard.

Then Qi Xuansu's voice sounded: "Do it according to what I just told you, you go ahead."

"Yes." Lingguan replied, and then the footsteps disappeared.

"Li Tianlan, don't you have anything to say?" Qi Xuansu sat on the chair in the interrogation room, just face to face with Li Tianlan on the stone chair.

Li Tianlan then opened his eyes and looked at Qi Xuansu: "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. There is nothing to say. Mr. Li is willing to admit defeat."

Qi Xuansu said: "Whether you admit defeat or not, it can't change the fact that you fell into Skynet. Now it's a matter of returning the stolen goods."

Qi Xuansu's tone was neither urgent nor harsh, but there was an inexplicable huge aura that made Li Tianlan feel uncomfortable and subconsciously sat up straight.

Sometimes, the final battle is with force. All power must be supported by force, and force cannot be separated from state cultivation. Li Tianlan realizes that he did not lose unjustly. Today, Qi Xuansu is only one step away from being a fake immortal. As long as it reaches the point of close combat, Li Tianlan will never be able to win.

No wonder everyone in the Li family regards this person as Li Changge's biggest rival, and he is truly worthy of his name.

Li Tianlan did not answer Qi Xuansu's question directly, but said: "Is this the way to banish an immortal the day after tomorrow?"

Qi Xuansu did not deny it, but raised his eyebrows: "You know a lot of things."

Li Tianlan smiled: "Others may not know, but back then I did a lot of work to collect 'Xuan Yu' for the young master, so I naturally know some inside information."

Qi Xuansu did not speak, but looked at Li Tianlan with a scrutinizing gaze.

I have to admit that Li Tianlan is not a mediocre person. His sudden mention of "Xuanyu" and the banishment of immortals the day after tomorrow is certainly not without purpose.

Seeing that Qi Xuansu's interest was aroused, Li Tianlan was not in a hurry to speak and looked at Qi Xuansu calmly.

Qi Xuansu was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Looking at the Taoist sect, it is difficult to find people with both political integrity and talent. Li Tianlan, although you and I have different positions and disagree with each other, I have to admit that you are talented. It’s just that the talent is not used in the right way.”

Li Tianlan smiled coldly: "Chief Qi, are you scolding me for being talented but not moral?"

Qi Xuansu said: "I am not a perfect moral person, and I have no intention of criticizing you from the moral high ground. Do you understand what I mean?"

Li Tianlan was startled for a moment, then thought quickly for a moment, then looked at Qi Xuansu, met Qi Xuansu's eyes, and then nodded slowly.

Qi Xuansu stretched out his hand to close the voice recording and photo recording formations that had been turned on.

Li Tianlan said: "I have two sons. The eldest son has disowned me. I am indeed sorry for him. Now he is controlled by Beichen Hall because he is involved in some scandals of the Li family. I am worried that someone will shut him up. I hope he survives, even if it’s the last thing I can do to compensate him.”

Qi Xuansu did not hesitate and agreed directly: "As long as he is still alive, then I can guarantee that he can continue to live. I dare not say that he will be rich and noble, but it should not be difficult to stay safe."

Li Tianlan added: "And my youngest son."

Qi Xuansu said: "I never engage in any involvement. How I treat Wang Jiaoying's son will be the same way I treat your youngest son."

Li Tianlan finally said: "Then there is the matter of Li Mingping. Chief Qi is also an insider, so I will not hide it. Li Minghuang committed adultery with Gu Ying behind my back and framed my eldest son. I hope that one day, He will get the punishment he deserves."

Qi Xuansu said: "Zhang Yuyue is Qingxiao's cousin, and one of the few people in the Zhang family who has a good relationship with Qingxiao. Li Minghuang deceived Zhang Yuyue. For the sake of Qingxiao and Zhangfu, I will not let him go. ”

If Qi Xuansu was shouting about justice at this time, Li Tianlan would probably be skeptical. However, Qi Xuansu considered his own interests, so Li Tianlan believed him 70-80% and said, "I still know a little bit about Chief Qi's credibility. Chief Qi wants to If you ask anything, just ask and I will tell you everything.”

Qi Xuansu said slowly: "I want to know about the 'Heart of the Immortal Stone."

Li Tianlan said: "As for the 'Heart of Immortality Stone, there are only three pieces in the world, and they are..."

Qi Xuansu interrupted: "I know that in the Yao family, Li family, and Huashengtang respectively, my 'heart of the longevity stone belongs to the Yao family, and Li Changge's' heart of the longevity stone belongs to the Li family. I have also confirmed it. The heart of Huashengtang’s longevity stone is still in Huashengtang.”

Li Tianlan was not surprised and continued: "Chief Qi, I just suspected it, but now I can finally confirm that the Yao family's heart of longevity stone is really in your body. To be honest, I still can't believe it. I investigated Your background is not from a noble family, nor is it the illegitimate son or posthumous son of a big shot, nor is it someone's reincarnation. There is no bloodline. You are just an ordinary orphan with dead parents. Even in the Wanxiang Dao Palace, it is not considered outstanding. But Yao Qi chose you and gave you a great opportunity to give you the heart of the immortal stone, which is comparable to a fairy. Aren't you curious? "

Qi Xuansu said: "Of course I am curious, and I know why. Now I want to know something I don't know."

Li Tianlan was really surprised this time. He didn't expect Qi Xuansu's investigation to be so in-depth: "The people who know you best are not your friends, but your enemies. Master Donghua and the Yao family are the biggest opponents of Master Qingwei and the Li family. , We have made some achievements in understanding our opponents. I can say with certainty that Yao Qi cannot make the decision alone.”

Qi Xuansu said: "Who else?"

Li Tianlan didn't beat around the bush: "When I was very young, I once met the fourth generation of Earth Masters with my ancestors in my family. The fourth generation of Earth Masters are very similar to the current generation of Earth Masters."

Li Tianlan is already an old man. In terms of time, he could indeed meet the fourth generation Earth Master who had not passed away when he was a child. These words are still very credible.

Qi Xuansu's expression became solemn: "The fourth generation of earth masters and the current generation of earth masters?"

Li Tianlan said: "Wu Xian, the leader of the witch sect, reincarnated as Yao Zu. It can be seen that people in the witch sect have the means to reincarnate as human beings. Therefore, our Li family has always doubted whether the fourth generation of earth masters are still in the world? In other words, this generation of earth masters is The reincarnation of the fourth generation Earth Master?"

Qi Xuansu was so shocked that he was speechless for a long time.
