Pawn Crossing the River

Wutu said: "Previously, we passed the two insect men in Xinpaititi and roughly determined the location of Lanyun Sect. We expected that after arriving at the designated sea area, we would wait for the dark moon to rise, and then move toward the dark moon. Go in that direction and you will eventually reach Lanyun Island where Lanyun Sect is located.”

Before this, Utu had been dealing with the bug-men for many years and knew the bug-men very well. His speculation was still credible.

Qi Xuansu nodded: "That should be the case."

Wu Tu said: "If we want to go to sea, although we can all fly, it is better to have a big ship to settle down. If we want to discuss things or take a short rest, we can't float on the sea, right? Of course, if it's 'Yinglong' ’, that would be the best.”

Qi Xuansu said half-jokingly: "Isn't the Great Master's 'White Dragon Tower Ship' better?"

Wutu said in surprise: "Master Qi can even mobilize the 'White Dragon Tower Ship'?"

Qi Xuansu said: "Of course not. Not to mention the 'White Dragon Tower Ship', there is no 'Yinglong'. The entire Taoist sect can mobilize no more than ten 'Yinglong' people. I am not even the Master of Shenzhi. I can only mobilize one." Zijiao' come here."

Wutu was a little disappointed, and then said: "What about the transfer from Xidaomen? There is still a 'Sun Boat'."

Qi Xuansu smiled and said: "Didn't it change to 'Moon Boat'?"

Wutu ignored this and continued: "Master Qi gave Master Huangfu so much peace money, worry-free money, gold crowns, eagle oceans, and so many properties and houses. It is a big gift, and Master Huangfu should also give it." It’s only right to express something, why don’t we ask Master Huangfu to think of a way to bring a ship over, so that it can be more convenient. After all, Master Huangfu still has a lot of face, and he is the future leader.”

Qi Xuansu nodded: "That's right, gifts cannot be given in vain. Taoist brother Huangfu does have a lot of face. If one day, I lose to Li Yongyan, I'm afraid I won't even have the position of deputy headmaster Da Zhenren. I can only Be a great master of Pingzhang. But in the future, Brother Huangfu will be in charge of the Xidao Sect, and no one can take away the position of a great master."

Wutu followed closely in Ixichel's footsteps: "What are you talking about, Master Qi? At this time, there are only you and me. Say something to avoid outsiders. We are all looking forward to Master Qi taking over the Zixiao Palace." . Although I am from the Southern Continent, I know a little bit about the situation of the sect. As the saying goes, if you gain the Tao, you will get more help, but if you lose, there will be less help. Zheng Yiyi, Quanzhen Tao, and the Grand Master are all optimistic about Zhenren Qi, and believe that only Zhenren Qi can lead the sect to the right direction. A better future will be achieved by the next election of the Great Master."

Qi Xuansu smiled and said, "Then I'll lend you some good words."

There is nothing taboo about these words, it is not in public, and it is already a known fact. Is there anyone among the eight generations of disciples who can compete with Qi Xuansu and Li Changge? Zhang Yuelu will be discouraged, and Yao Pei will be silent.

This is how the Taoist sect is. Basically, one generation can roughly determine the candidates for the next generation. That is, when Xuansheng is in office, the scope of candidates for the third generation of great masters has been basically determined. The next step is for these people to compete. . It is not uncommon in all dynasties. This is called a "good saint grandson".

Donghua Zhenren and others were also the fifth generation masters who had already emerged when they were still in office, and had the so-called masters image.

The only exception was the Sixth-generation Grandmaster. No one expected this. Only the Sixth-generation Grandmaster had a problem.

Therefore, when people from the Taoist sect say that Qi Xuansu has the status of being a great master, they are not trying to make things up, nor are they conclusions drawn from observing the sky at night, but based on the situation at the top, which is just not accessible to ordinary people.

Wutu's words cannot be regarded as flattery. These factions in the southern continent basically support Qi Xuansu, because Qi Xuansu has a gentle attitude and is willing to co-govern. Li Changge represents a faction that wants to dominate others. Based on their own interests, of course they must support Qi Xuansu.

As an upper-class elite, you may not believe in this system or that system, or you may not believe in this idea or that idea, but you must believe in interests.

The so-called unity actually means sharing profits.

Qi Xuansu does not completely agree with this concept, but there is no other way. I have to admit that unity is really useful.

"That's it, you send the money to Master Huangfu and prepare for going to sea." Qi Xuansu ordered.

Utu hesitated and said: "The safety of real people..."

Qi Xuansu said: "There is also Hu En'ahan, and Tantaiying's people are coming soon, so they won't be in the way."

Wutu was very cautious: "I'd better wait for the people from West Tiangang Hall to come over before leaving."

Qi Xuansu had no objection: "That's fine."

…

Xu Jiaorong came to Yujing by taking the opportunity to participate in the discussion.

There will be unified personnel adjustments soon. Those who should be promoted will be promoted, and those who should be demoted will be replaced by new people. Only after all personnel arrangements are in place will formal preparations be made to elect the Grand Master.

In other words, this is the last large-scale personnel adjustment before the election of the Grand Master, and there will at most be some minor adjustments after that.

When discussing plans for personnel adjustments, the order is from high to low. The people above move to ensure stability.

Level 1 Pingzhang Daizhen is the last to be adjusted. Because the number of Pingzhang Dazhen is uncertain, Pingzhang Dazhen is basically a lifelong system.

The deputy head master, the great master, will help him get on his horse and give him a ride. The new deputy head master, the great master, will be appointed by the seventh generation master.

Therefore, this is also the busiest time for the Taoist sect. There are many people running around and seeking connections, and they all run up. There are also some people who, with the mentality that their rights do not expire and become invalid, begin to speed up the realization of their rights. Ziweitang is even busier. This is the value of being the first of the nine halls.

Working in Ziweitang, there is actually not much advantage at the level of principal and deacon. Sometimes due to external comments, lest others say that one is acting for personal gain, promotion will be slower, but the final outcome will be more selective. However, when you reach the level of deputy hall master and assistant hall master, you have great advantages. For example, Yao Shu, the former chief deputy hall master of Ziweitang, skipped the level of master palm master and became master master in one step. A big Taoist house like the Borneo Taoist House, even if there is a great master in charge, is still better than some small Taoist houses.

On the other hand, Qi Xuansu, the chief deputy head of Beichen Hall, although it was once widely rumored that he would skip the master of the hall and go directly to the master of the master, but in the end, when the dust settled, he was still the master of the master. Although there is a reason why Yao Shu is more senior, the difference between the two classes can also be seen.

There have been rumors recently that Yao Shu is still the real person in charge of the Borneo Taoist House. Because if there is no mistake, a man with a background like his can only go up but not down. The Borneo Taoist House is already one of the best. There is no saying that he can go to a better Taoist House. With only Jiutang, it would be too fast, so it was reasonable for Yao Shu not to move.

But people like Qi Xuansu would make a move, including Zhang Yuelu.

The old Taoist priests in Borneo understood one thing clearly. As long as the Heavenly Master is still there, Cihang is still there, and Zhang Yuelu always occupies the moral high ground, it is basically impossible for them to overthrow Zhang Yuelu.

Since there is no way to bring down Zhang Yuelu, there is only one way left - sending gifts out of the country.

Miss Zhang, even if we beg you, please hurry up and harm others, don’t harm us. This is the little money we scraped together, and these old faces, to help you make connections, and wish you a promotion.

We think that the position of chief of Tiangang Hall is good. In the past, you were the junior head of Tiangang Hall, and your master Cihang was the head master of Tiangang Hall. It would be perfect for you to be the chief deputy head of Tiangang Hall. Isn’t it a hundred times better than staying in our Nanyang?

If something happens in the end, you two, the master and the disciple, will kick you out of bed. This is an internal conflict. You can make as much trouble as you like, and you can enact whatever new policies you want. Anyway, the people of Tiangangtang have their own headaches, and it’s none of our business.

Now it seems that Li Minghuang will have two places to go. One is to fight for the chief deputy head of Tiangang Hall. If he fails to win, then he will go to the Imperial Palace to be the chief deputy head. Zhang Yuelu's main competitor is Li Minghuang.

Although Li Minghuang was not a good character, he was indeed capable. When Zhang Yuelu was the last deputy head of Tiangang Hall, Li Minghuang was already the third deputy head, second only to the chief and second. Over the years, for some reasons, Li Minghuang has not moved away from Tiangang Hall. He has entered the stage of creation, and with the Li family as his backer, it can be said that he has a great advantage.

However, Zhang Yuelu is also competitive. Master Cihang is the master of Tiangang Hall. Master Donghua, as the master of Ziweitang and the chief of Jinque, led this personnel adjustment, as well as the support of the Zhang family, etc., these are not mentioned. The Borneo Taoist Government fully supports Zhang Yuelu's promotion, and Qi Xuansu has mastered the dirty information about Li Minghuang and is preparing to do something big for Li Minghuang at the critical moment.

What is a critical moment? Now is the critical moment.

As for Qi Xuansu himself, he was basically the first to be determined. Among the four Taoists, he was the first to be promoted to the Master of the Taoist Palace, and his position was the Master of the Wanxiang Taoist Palace.

After Qi Xuansu leaves, Li Changge will take his place.

If Zhang Yuelu is promoted successfully, who will take her place?

Although it has not been completely decided yet, there is a high probability that it will be Xu Jiaorong.

Regarding this matter, Qi Xuansu played a little role, but not much.

It was mainly Master Lan who spoke in person. He is the head of the Borneo Taoist Government. His opinions are still very important. Although it is a bit against the rules, Jinque cannot but consider it. This can also be regarded as a kind of right not to expire and become invalid. If he waits until Master Landa ascends, he will be gone and the tea will be cold. Therefore, Master Lan Da wanted to pave the way for Xu Jiaorong while he was still alive, as a last farewell.

The second deputy palace master vacated by Xu Jiaorong was replaced by Pei Xiaolou, just as Qi Xuansu had discussed with Master Donghua.

With this personnel adjustment, if you look around, you will see everyone who is not a member of an aristocratic family, who has no background and backing, and is so intertwined that they are really full of upstarts.

Even Qi Xuansu didn't dare to pat his chest and say that he came from a poor family. In a sense, he also relied on nepotism to get up. Although he has some merit, but without this "nepotism", it is difficult to say whose credit it is, and I am afraid it will not be given.

However, Xu Jiaorong did not come here for his own affairs this time. Her affairs were probably settled. One generation would take care of another. If Master Lan Da stood up for her, she would stand up for her adopted son Chen Jianchou.
