Pawn Crossing the River

Almost at the same time as the "Ceratopsian" succeeded, someone also took action.

Without any warning, Qi Xuansu felt a sudden pain in his chest and abdomen, indicating that he had been stabbed.

This sword came and went without a trace, elusive and difficult to capture. It was struck at the most critical moment for Qi Xuansu to deal with the old dragon, making it inevitable for Qi Xuansu to avoid it.

Qi Xuansu snorted, looked down at the tip of the knife protruding from his chest, and said nothing.

This is a flying knife that just misses Qi Xuansu's "Heart of the Immortality Stone" before it passes through the chest. It is obviously someone who knows Qi Xuansu very well, unlike some people who insist on attacking Qi Xuansu's heart.

This is also an anchor point.

Then it seemed as if someone reached out and pulled. It seemed that there was an invisible rope connected to the end of the flying knife, dragging Qi Xuansu backwards through the force of traction.

Obviously, the person who took action didn't want to face the three pseudo-immortals alone. There were too many variables.

Neither Huon Ahan nor Utu took action.

First, the two of them really couldn't make a move. The old dragon was not dead yet. If he didn't kill the snake, he would suffer a backlash.

Second, according to the plan made in advance, the two of them were tasked with taking down the old dragon with all their strength to prevent the two sides from joining together, and Qi Xuansu would handle the rest.

In the blink of an eye, Qi Xuansu was pulled away from the area by the flying knife on his chest.

This is an internal fight from the Taoist sect.

During internal conflicts within the Taoist sect, were there any high-level bloodshed incidents?

In the vast majority of cases, no. More often than not, they are willing to admit defeat, exile, imprisonment, retirement, etc.

Bloodshed usually occurs at the middle or lower levels, and the meaning is not simply killing, but more of silencing or warning.

Taipingdao has a precedent in this regard

, it must be said that the Li family is both arrogant and does not hide their hostility, and often uses similar methods. Although the Li family generally does not engage in warnings, what they say is that the Li family will not scare others by giving them a knife without taking their lives. In fact, the Li family will also warn others, but it is just a direct warning to kill.

For example, if the Li family wanted to warn Qi Xuansu, it would not be the Li family secretly placing a fire pellet next to Qi Xuansu's pillow, or secretly giving Qi Xuansu a knife, but directly letting Chen Jianchou die unexpectedly. This is the Li family's way of warning.

There is another method, silence, which Taipingdao also used, but it was not used well. Because there was too much noise, in addition to making a difference at the procedural level and preventing deeper investigation, it was almost a failure at the impact level. That is to say, Taipingdao is strong, but if it is weak, this kind of approach is like shooting a stone at itself. foot.

Regarding silencing, the best one is Quanzhen Tao, which is silent, leaves no handle, and cannot even make any waves in the outside world. This is the truth that those who are good at fighting have no great achievements.

This may also be the influence of several generations of earth masters. After all, from Xu Zu to Yao Zu, including Shangguan Patriarch, the third generation of earth masters, the fourth generation of earth masters, and then to the current generation of earth masters, to use a bad adjective, they all have a more temperamental temperament. The type of sinister bird of prey, the city is deep, and the behavior tends to be conspiracy. The upper beam is like this, and the lower beam cannot be any better.

On the contrary, it is Taipingdao. It cannot be said that they do not use conspiracy. It is just because of their arrogance and arrogance that sometimes they disdain to use conspiracy and prefer to deal with things openly.

Take the matter of silence. Can Taipingdao remain silent? There must be such a method, it’s nothing technical

It can't be done, but Taipingdao doesn't do it like this. It insists on causing uproar in the city, which means "I just did it, what can you do to me?"

It has to be said that the strength of Taipingdao was also cultivated in this way. Once you can do nothing, you can do nothing twice. As time goes by, you will naturally become strong and domineering, and others will be weaker first.

As for the Zhengyi Dao, it cannot be said that they are a harmless white lotus, but they are not as outstanding as the other two. Relatively speaking, they are not bad. After all, the quality is determined by comparison, and it all depends on the support of their peers.

However, there is no doubt that the strength of Zhengyi Dao is the weakest among the three.

First of all, in the competition between the Seventh Generation Grandmaster and the Eighth Generation Grandmaster, Zhengyiyi has little hope. Mainly Quanzhendao and Taipingdao are competing, but the foundation of Zhengyiyi is still there. As long as Zhengyiyi fully supports whoever can take advantage.

Secondly, the Zhang family, as the main body of Zhengdao, is declining day by day. It is not as good as the Li family.

Finally, this is the root of the disease that was planted as early as the Xuansheng era. If it wasn't Xuansheng deliberately suppressing Zhengyiyi, who told you Zhengyiyi to cause a rebellion to abolish the Tianshi? This is an open rebellion, based on emotion and reason. If you don’t suppress them, who will you suppress? Although Xuansheng suppressed the Li family, there was no doubt that the Li family was the most loyal. In the end, Xuansheng had to use the Li family.

As for Quanzhen Taoism, Yao Zu was playing two-faced, but he never engaged in armed rebellion on the surface. All kinds of small actions were hidden in secret and were of different natures.

To sum up, Taiping Dao has the innate bonus of Xuansheng and is internally united. It has been number one among the three paths for a long time. Although it cannot crush the other two paths, it maintains its advantage over the other two paths. or

However, the Li family cannot think of a hereditary headmaster.

Although Quanzhen Tao has been fighting among itself and has not yet been able to fully integrate, its size is here. Just like a strong man, even if he hasn't learned many skills, he can crush his opponent with brute force alone. He can defeat ten enemies with one force and gradually become the main force against Taiping Dao.

The old foundation of the First Path is still there, and it still maintains the size of the Third Path. It is also a giant. Compared with the other two, there is no essential difference between the Third Path and the lineage of the Great Master. It is just that its strength is weaker than the other two. Dao, it is difficult to compete for the great leader.

Thinking about it, when Qi Haoran and Qi Xuansu were arranged to be together in the Zhengtai, and then contacted the Earth Master to promote Zhang Yuelu, it is very likely that the Quanzhen Tao had already made arrangements. For example, Qi Xuansu became a blockbuster as a rookie in the Zhengtai, and then married the noble daughter of the Zhang family and became a The son-in-law of the Zhang family gradually entered the senior management of Zhengyi, and even participated in the election on behalf of Zhengyi.

At that time, there will be Yao Pei on Quanzhen Taoist side and Qi Xuansu on Zhengyi Taoist side. It seems that they are three pillars, but in fact, the second and third parties are joining forces to deal with Taiping Taoist group.

Some people may say that this is no different from the current situation, not much different.

In fact, this is not the case. There is a very crucial point here. Who is the leader?

Quanzhen Tao has Yao Pei, and Zhengyi has Qi Xuansu. Qi Xuansu is controlled by Zhou Mengyao, so the leader is Earth Master. Even Earth Master has used Qi Xuansu as a wedge to insert his hand into Zhengyi, deeply interfering with Zhengyi.

This is also the fundamental reason for Tianshi's strong counterattack. It's not that simple to form an alliance between the two great powers, as their own people will have to fight among themselves, let alone two families.

Now Qiniang has rebelled, the Heavenly Master has intervened, and Donghua Zhenren has intercepted

Hu and Yao Pei were eventually marginalized, Qi Xuansu represented the Quanzhen Tao, and Zhang Yuelu represented the Zhengyi Tao. If Master Donghua marries Master Cihang again, then the leader will undoubtedly be Master Donghua.

Although Quanzhen Dao and Zhengyi all joined forces to fight against Taiping Dao, the leader has changed.

This makes a big difference.

In the eyes of outsiders, the uncle rebelled and took the throne from his nephew. The emperor still had the same surname, and the meat rotted in his own pot. It didn't matter. But from the perspective of the person involved, it was very important, a matter of life and death.

In the same way, in the eyes of outsiders, both Earth Master and Donghua Master are all Quanzhen Taoists. But from the perspective of those who are in the game, it is quite different. It is necessary to find out who the Quanzhen Tao is.

Therefore, the stabbing at Qi Xuansu today is almost inevitable and will come sooner or later.

The battle between Qi Xuansu and Zhou Mengyao is basically to clarify this matter - who has the final say about Quanzhen Taoism now, and who has the final say about the Taoism in the future.

This is a fatal question.

When Qi Xuansu finally stopped, he saw a strange woman.

Qi Xuansu had never seen this woman before. In other words, I have seen it before, more than once, but I have never seen its true appearance.

Today I finally got a glimpse of my real face.

At this point, there's no point in playing dumb.

Qi Xuansu got straight to the point: "How should I call you, or should I call you like before, master?"

The strange woman is Zhou Mengyao.

Qi Xuansu feels that her current appearance is very strange, and she also feels that Qi Xuansu is very strange. After all, Qi Xuansu, who is in a high position, has changed a lot from the young Qi Xuansu back then.

Zhou Mengyao said coldly: "

Don’t take it for granted, Donghua Zhenren is your master. "

Qi Xuansu smiled and said: "Although it is said that once a master is a father, the ancients who said this were obviously not equal enough and did not consider the situation that the master is a woman. This tells me what to do."

Zhou Mengyao raised his eyebrows: "Tianyuan, you are really different. You dare to talk to me like this."

Qi Xuansu said: "Otherwise? Kneel down and beg you?"

Zhou Mengyao wrapped his hands in his sleeves and regained his composure: "I didn't realize in the past that you can still remain calm in the face of important events, but Yao Qi sees it deeply."

Qi Xuansu said: "People are trained. When encountering life and death difficulties for the first time, they will inevitably panic. For example, when I was at the Kunlun Pass, several 'inn' killers scared me to death, leaving my mind blank. All I know is running, that’s true, not just pretending.”

"It's just that after experiencing more things, people become mature. You can say that you have taken it lightly, or you can say that you are used to it. Even if it is a life-or-death situation, you can still remain calm, talk about some things, and if you feel like it, you can still Recite a few lines of poetry.”

Qi Xuansu paused for a moment and then changed the subject: "Master, you are really good at acting. You can crush those 'inn' killers into powder with just a few clicks of your fingers, but you can still act so realistically, with such passion and sacrifice." The courage to die, the angry eyes of King Kong, and the sound like thunder were touching and heartfelt. I don’t know if Qiniang who was watching from the side believed it or not. Anyway, I believed it at the time, and I still believed it. "

"I don't know, I thought, Master, you went to St. York's theater for further training. Compared with yours, Audrey's acting skills are like the light of a firefly."

The bright moon competing for brilliance is completely worth mentioning. "

"When we get along with each other, you also make me, a child without a father and a mother, feel what 'home' is. I remember every detail. You took me to Taiqing City. We posted doormen and cooked together. You sat there Drinking on a deck chair under a sycamore tree, you told me about fairies, witches, knight-errants, and witches. After you got drunk, you looked up at the sky and muttered to yourself. To this day, I still remember it clearly. To be fair, Qiniang is not as good as you in this regard, she cannot play the role of a loving mother and a filial son."

"If I hadn't dug an empty tomb in Requiem later, then these would still be 'real'."
