Pawn Crossing the River

Although it has not been fully accomplished, it can be considered as a preliminary achievement of the goal and gained one year.

For Qi Xuansu, it is still acceptable. As long as he becomes a pseudo-immortal, things will be better than now. And one year later, the Taoist sect's comprehensive personnel adjustment has been finalized, and the real highlight is the next step - the selection of the seventh-generation Grand Master.

At this time, everyone in the Taoist sect will be mobilized, take it seriously, take it seriously, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are prepared to be prepared, the internal and external martial law will be strict, and no accident will be allowed to happen. Make sure it ends successfully and ends victoriously.

The bad impact caused by assassinating a real person, if it is 10% in normal times, will be magnified to 100% in this special period, and the Taoist sect will never allow it.

It is not only very difficult for Zhou Mengyao to take action at this time, but also involves great risks.

This can give Qi Xuansu a lot of time. Although he cannot directly become an immortal, he can still improve a bit.

Of course, the best result is that Donghua Master successfully takes over as the Grand Master. As a disciple, Qi Xuansu is the Junior Master. He can mobilize more resources and can deal with Zhou Mengyao without even having to take action himself.

After all, the sixth-generation Grandmaster is a rare case. He is not a candidate for the Grandmaster. It is a bit like rushing a duck to the shelf. He has no foundation. It is like asking Ji Jiaozhen to be the Grandmaster. He doesn’t even have a few close friends. He is not a candidate. Isolated results.

It's just that Donghua Zhenren is different. He has a foundation. As long as he can ascend to power, he may have to fulfill his promises to his allies, but with the support of his allies, he will definitely have real power, and there will be no situation where government orders cannot leave the Zixiao Palace. , and as the time of taking office as the Grand Master becomes longer, this kind of real power will become stronger.

Needless to say, what does it mean to be a powerful master? Even if you cannot reach the level of the fifth generation master, it is not comparable to the rotating master.

Qi Xuansu has the Grand Master at his back, so why should he be afraid of Zhou Mengyao?

If any immortal can threaten the core successor of the Taoist sect, that would be too underestimated for the Taoist sect. The problem now is that the Taoist sect fights against its own people. There is me among you, and you among me. Many methods are not available. But once the Taoist sect completes the integration and makes it clear who is the friend and who is the enemy, the internal contradictions will become If there is a conflict between ourselves and the enemy, then it is no longer a problem.

In the past, there were immortals who wanted to play assassin tactics with Taoist sects, that is, they would assassinate your real master today and assassinate your chief tomorrow. It won't be long before your rule collapses.

The Taoist sect responded immediately, intensifying the search efforts and setting up traps. Finally, three immortals were dispatched to kill the immortal and spread the news to other Taoist houses to frighten others. This head is still collected in Zixiao Palace.

This tactic is not impossible,

The prerequisite is at least a calamity immortal with a higher level of cultivation, otherwise it will still be blocked. Moreover, it is not easy to become an immortal. Since you have achieved immortality, it is so precious. Why do you have to fight against the Taoist sect? Wouldn't it be better to join Daomen? True Lord Taiyin and True Lord Ziguang saw it clearly.

The current conflict between Zhou Mengyao and Qi Xuansu is an internal conflict, because Zhou Mengyao is also a member of the Taoist sect, and he cannot use the Taoist sect's public weapons to deal with his own people, and there is still a lack of someone who can make the final decision.

As long as Master Donghua becomes the Grand Master, he will be the one who has the final say. As the Grand Master, if he finds the right opportunity, he can directly expel Zhou Mengyao from Taoism and label him as a Taoist rebel.

Then the nature changes. Since it is not one of our own, it is the enemy.

Since it is an enemy, it is a conflict between ourselves and the enemy, so we can legitimately use Taoist public weapons, such as "Yinglong", first-grade spiritual officials, the three major Yinwu, and "Emperor Shitian".

So Qi Xuansu quickly accepted the result - it was okay not to accept it.

Qi Xuansu then briefly introduced the situation and asked, "Mr. Jiang, how should we deal with the dragon?"

Naturally, Master Jiang Da also saw the dragon corpse on the deck of "Chorned Dragon". "This can be regarded as the result of the cooperation between Daomen and Xidaomen. Although Daomen and Xidaomen are a family, they still have to share the pot. Brothers should understand Settlement."

Master Jiang paused and pondered for a moment, "Xidaomen needs warships very much, so let Xidaomen dispose of the dragon corpse. There are also various treasures in the Dragon Palace. Xidaomen sends out fleets, which costs a lot, so they should be handled by Xidaomen."

Tantaiying did not express any objection.

Master Jiang Da continued, "As for the Dragon Ball, since it has been broken, let's leave it to the Taoist sect. There should be a way to repair it. And the dragon's blood should also be handed over to the Taoist sect for disposal."

Tantai Ying also expressed no objection. Needless to say, the Dragon Ball, Xidaomen definitely cannot be repaired, and the dragon blood must be processed before it can be used. These are what Daomen is good at, and it is useless for Xidaomen to get it. In the end, we have to ask Daomen Help. Just give it to Daomen, there is no need to go to any trouble.

In just a few words, Master Jiang Da decided who the dragon would belong to.

At first glance, Qi Xuansu seemed to have gained nothing, but that was not the case.

First of all, he got a share of credit. Why did Qi Xuansu show his subjective initiative? The reasons are complex and diverse. It is often not a single factor that prompts Qi Xuansu to make a decision, but the combination of multiple factors.

Same effect.

There is some simple sense of justice to eliminate the bugs, and it is also the reason why Zhou Meng is pressing forward step by step, and it is also because Taipingdao dug a big hole for him, which is the reconstruction of the Northern Continent intelligence system that Shen Yubing is responsible for. Now that it seems that it can't be completed, and Qi Xuansu has no way to save it, he will use other contributions to make up for it. At least there is a saying - I spent my energy on other aspects.

Secondly, some things are not easy to talk about openly. Xidaomen is a place that pays great attention to personal attachment, and naturally also pays attention to human relations. Tantai Ying will definitely give Qi Xuansu some explanation.

Qi Xuansu may or may not refuse.

But it’s best not to refuse, because not accepting gifts is almost the same as shutting people out. If you don’t even accept gifts from friends, then how can you be an ally? Allies must be bound by interests, not emotions.

You know, being a saint is not easy, it can even be said to be difficult.

Just look at Zhang Yuelu. She doesn’t want to be a saint, she just sticks to her principles, but all she encounters are dilemmas. After persisting all the way, her reputation is ruined, her family is estranged, her friends leave, and her closest brother Zhang Yuelu , Zhang Yuyue, the closest sister, is drifting away, and her mother does not understand her. Outsiders only say that she is right, but they will not be friends with someone like her. .??.

She felt wronged everywhere and had nowhere to express her feelings.

In fact, most people know what is right, but they are still unwilling to walk on the absolutely correct path because it is too difficult.

In a world dominated by human nature, morality is more about seeking the best.

Many people are extravagantly hoping for one thing. Self-interest and secular morality are unified. Doing something can not only satisfy self-interest but also conform to secular morality. If you can consider the dilemma, you will naturally get the best of both worlds.

After getting the benefits, I don’t want to be criticized morally by Qingliu.

For example, if you kill people and seize treasures, the person who happens to be killed is not a good person. Since I have taken the treasure, I don’t have to bear the infamy.

This is greater greed.

We also want fame and profit.

Some people even suffer others, and I will bear the blame. This kind of person who wants it all doesn't even want to take the blame.

It is also a kind of entanglement and awkwardness.

Since I cannot be a real villain, everything I do is for my own desires and interests. I can't be a true gentleman. For what I think is the right path, I don't care about success or failure. I don't care about any reputation or even being slandered. I just want to follow the right path.

Then I have no choice but to be a secretive clear stream

You are a hypocrite, extravagantly seeking a high degree of unity between interests and morality. I want both, I want them all.

But there is no such good thing in the world. Morality and interests cannot be unified. You can only choose one of the two.

If you force everything, the result will be double standards.

They say one thing and do another. Ask others to be one thing, and ask yourself to be another thing.

Zhang Yuelu pursued morality, but his interests were repeatedly hit, and his head was bruised and bloody. He was about to withdraw from the competition for the Eighth Generation Master. This is the most common situation.

Zhang Yuelu still persisted, so Qi Xuansu admired her.

The reason why Qi Xuansu made the bet with Zhang Yuelu as the head master was because he wanted to help Zhang Yuelu in his own way, so as to prevent her from being confused and getting into trouble.

Qi Xuansu is not Xuansheng, nor is he Zhang Yuelu. He prefers to be soft and doesn't mind some outrageous actions as long as he doesn't cross the bottom line.

In other words, Qi Xuansu is more interested in pursuing interests. On a smaller scale, for the sake of one's own interests, on a larger scale, for the benefit of the Taoist sect, one can change one's position to a certain extent. If it can be done on the basis of ensuring interests, then he will also give due consideration to moral needs in order to achieve a moderate effect.

If you can look at both sides of the dilemma, it's best to solve the dilemma yourself. But if you can't, you have to focus on it.

After all, there is no such thing as the best of both worlds.

This world is all about trade-offs and choices.

Qi Xuansu is not a saint or a gentleman, he is just Qi Xuansu, he just makes a choice.

After Master Jiang arranged these things, he said nothing more, passed through the portal of "Moon in the Water", and returned to Yujing.

Mr. Lao Yin did not stay long and returned to the ghost country Cave Heaven.

There were no outsiders around, and Tantai Ying did not hide it. "There is a rich collection in the Dragon Palace. Would you like Master Qi to take a look?"

Qi Xuansu nodded and said, "Okay."

Tantai Ying added, "By the way, the dragon meat after bloodletting is a great tonic. I'll have someone prepare some for Master Qi."

At this time, Qi Xuansu thought of Xiao Yin. This guy could only move freely after eating dragon meat. He didn't know if feeding him more dragon meat would have special effects. Maybe he would think of the treasure.

Qi Xuansu said, "Thank you very much Master Tantai."

Tantai Ying smiled and said, "It's nothing, I heard what they said. If Master Qi hadn't risked his life and rushed into the dragon's belly, he wouldn't have been able to kill the old dragon. This is what Master Qi deserves." do not mention it."
