Pawn Crossing the River

In the morning, there is a palace, and in the evening, there is a banquet in the Qingdu Palace.

Banquet in Qingdu, also known as Four Generations of Good.

The so-called Qingdu refers to the palace where the Emperor of Heaven lives.

Stand still. Fellow Taoist companions, Kunlun's scenic sites, Yulong Fengyu. The Golden Tower is coming, the clear peaks are thousands of miles away, and the water clouds are eternal. Flying to the top and sharing the same heroic feat. Like drunken guests, dragon chants tunes. When it is remembered as a good story, I will count it from the beginning when I return home.

…

After Pei Shenfu left Nanyang, Qi Xuansu also sent Li Tianqing out of the country with "gifts", and Patriarch Jin Gong came to pick him up in person.

Unlike Pei Shenfu, Qi Xuansu and Li Tianqing have nothing to say. The conflict between them is simple. It is just a pure camp confrontation. There are not so many messy relationships involved, so naturally there is no need to say too much.

This Nanyang turmoil has come to an end.

In fact, there are benefits. This operation by Li Tianqing and Wu Guangbi indirectly helped the Borneo Taoist government purify the environment, get rid of a number of pests, and even dealt a heavy blow to the power of the old Taoist priests. Now the old Taoist priests hate them to death. Even more so than Zhang Yuelu. Because Zhang Yuelu just lost money and Li Taiqing directly killed him and entered Fengxian Hall, is there anything left?

As for why Zhang Yuelu didn't use a personnel storm to break the situation, the reason is also very simple. The "Tianting" who has a large amount of evidence will not listen to Zhang Yuelu, let alone kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred.

More importantly, Yao Shu was under great pressure. This is one of the reasons why Yao Shu became easy to talk to.

In this regard, Qi Xuansu would also like to thank Li Taiqing on behalf of the Borneo Taoist Government.

What’s more, Zhang Yuelu finally came out of seclusion.

As expected by Qi Xuansu, Zhang Yuelu successfully entered the stage of creation. Although he failed to become a pseudo-immortal in one step, he almost caught up with Qi Xuansu's original self. It was definitely not comparable to the stage of creation for the first time.

However, Qi Xuansu's true self has finished digesting the "Xuan Jade" and can use the second piece of "Xuan Jade", thus entering the pseudo-immortal stage. Zhang Yuelu does not have a second "Eternal Life Pill", so it will take some time to reach the pseudo-immortal stage.

As a result, Zhang Yuelu's appointment has been accelerated. In any case, his level of cultivation and age are still big bonus points. The younger he is, the higher the bonus points.

After all, there has to be a reason for the explanation. You can't say that you were promoted because your surname was Li, Zhang, or Yao. You still have to cover it up. Realm cultivation is a good way to put it. It is difficult for others to directly challenge someone. If you really want someone to challenge you, you can just say that if you have the ability, you will be promoted.

Li Changge has the highest realm, so he has the highest position. He also serves as the Taoist envoy, not only the chief of Beichen Hall.

As for Qi Xuansu, he was promoted based on his merit. After all, the Southern Continent was not in vain. It was enough to be promoted to the real person in charge of all the people.

Because the official appointment had not yet been made, and Zhang Yuelu had to hand over various matters at hand, he could not return to Yujing immediately. Naturally, the new chief candidate was decided, which was Xu Jiaorong.

If nothing unexpected happens, Xu Jiaorong will serve as chief for a long time, and then he will be transferred to the ninth hall as the chief deputy chief, and finally be released to another party.

Of course, if something unexpected happens, for example, Qi Xuansu takes over early, that would be another story. It is not impossible for Xu Jiaorong to directly take over as the real person in charge. Everything is possible.

In summary, Xu Jiaorong and Pei Xiaolou serve as the chief deputy palace master and second deputy palace master respectively in Borneo Taoist Palace, Ji Jiaozhen and Chen Jianqiu serve as the third deputy palace master and fourth deputy palace master respectively. Responsible for Thang Long Province and Lion City respectively.

In addition, Chen Shuwen from Nanyang United Trading Company, Liu Gui from South Borneo Company, Yuheng Star Master from Ziguang Society, Shangguan Ya from Babu Zhong, Huan Ji and Pei Xiaoyun from Fenglinzhou Trading Company, and Chen Jianqiu from Dayu Kingdom. , Nanyang is still under Qi Xuansu's control.

However, Lin Yuanmiao will not stay in Nanyang. He has also been promoted - taking Li Minghuang's position as the third deputy head of Tiangang Hall, and will follow Zhang Yuelu to Beijing.

He didn't have anything to say to him. He was drinking at the moment, drinking farewell drinks one after another. Pei Xiaolou and Ji Jiaozhen both lamented that the three friends of Nanyang were not good enough, and they were about to separate. From now on, they would become We are friends in Nanyang, and there was originally a substitute, Xiao Yin, who also went to Yujing.

Lin Yuanmiao said that although we are no longer together, the spirit of the Three Friends of Nanyang remains unchanged, and these past years will always be engraved in our hearts.

Due to various reasons, Qi Xuansu returned to Yujing alone this time. Before leaving, Qi Xuansu left the "Three and Five Male and Female Evil-Slaying Swords" to Zhang Yuelu. As for whether Zhang Yuelu should return it to the Celestial Master, it depends on the Celestial Master's wish.

Originally, Qi Xuansu wanted to wait a few more days and return to Yujing with Zhang Yuelu, but there were too many things going on in Yujing.

If I want to reach the pseudo-immortal stage, my incarnation must go back to ensure a whole body.

In addition, the official appointment of Qi Xuansu will also be announced.

This is undoubtedly the highlight. After all, it is Zhenzhi Zhenren. Although he failed to tie the historical record, Qi Xuansu is the youngest among the surviving Zhenzhi Zhenren.

The order is to first promote Qi Xuansu to Zhenzhi Zhenren, and then appoint him as Zhangong Zhenren of Wanxiang Dao Palace, and then Qi Xuansu will take office.

However, there is a saying that after a small degree, a person will become a big person, which means that after the wedding ceremony, he will be named on the gold list.

Therefore, Jin Que did not embarrass Qi Xuansu in this matter. He also respected the rules and allowed him to get married first, and then officially appointed him to the post. Not only did he save the need for leave, but he also accepted the small admission and the big admission.

Because of this, Qi Xuansu returned to Yujing this time mainly to be promoted to Shenzhi Zhenren.

Counting the high-level members of the Taoist sect, leaving aside the first-grade innocent Taoist priests, the top is Zhenzhen Zhenzhen. There is no fixed number of Pingzhang Da Zhenren, ranging from twelve to seven. The number of Zhenzhen Zhenren is fixed. , that is thirty-six people.

Qi Xuansu will now join the ranks of these thirty-six people and truly become a high-level member of the Taoist sect. When the time comes to elect the Grand Master, Qi Xuansu will also have a vote.

Such an important position naturally requires a promotion ceremony.

Qi Xuansu's promotion ceremony and Wu Niang's promotion ceremony were merged together. The Grand Master should have attended and presided over the ceremony in person. However, since the Taoist sect did not have a Grand Master, the Great Master on duty would step in on his behalf. This is also the original intention of setting up the rotating Grand Master. There are too many ceremonial functions that require the Grand Master to come forward.

Nowadays, the Celestial Master is the rotating Grand Master. If it had been a little later, he would have been the Earth Master.

The specific location where the ceremony was held was Jinque.

Qi Xuansu and Wu Niang set out for Jinque together, and Xiao Yin also followed - she benefited from the two of them, and was invited to watch the ceremony, and could sit in the front row with a large group of real people.

This was not the first time Qi Xuansu came to Jinque. He had already been here once because of the matter in the Southern Continent. His feelings and moods were naturally completely different these two times.

Jinque has already sent someone in advance to deliver the modified ultimatum and the corresponding Taoist crown - because the crane cloak of a real person only has an extra sword belt than the ordinary crane cloak, and the crane cloak of a real person or above is exactly the same, only the Dao crown is different. .

Except for the three deputy head masters, the others all have lotus crowns, the shape is exactly the same, only the material is different. The ordinary master has a gold lotus crown, the Shenzhi master has a white jade lotus crown, and the Pingzhang master has a purple lotus crown.

As for the Grand Master, there are no specific regulations. In theory, you can wear anything, it is in line with nature.

The second-generation Grandmaster likes to dress like a ninth-grade Taoist priest, the third-generation Grandmaster likes to wear ordinary clothes, and the fourth-generation Grandmaster likes to dress like an ordinary real person, but no one can say anything.

The Grand Master of the Five Dynasties was the most strict and specially designed the costumes and crowns of the Grand Master. He has almost obsessive requirements for the appearance of Taoist priests.

When Qi Xuansu received the white jade lotus crown, he held it in his hand and looked at it, sighing: "This white jade lotus crown is more beautiful than the gold lotus crown."

Wu Niang said unceremoniously: "How can this purple-gold lotus crown be as beautiful as mine? Purple is the most precious color in Taoism, and the Supreme Taoist Patriarch has purple energy that comes from the east of thirty thousand miles!"

Qi Xuansu suggested: "It's better to let Xiao Yin evaluate it."

Xiao Yin looked at the lotus crowns in their hands. He didn't speak in a hurry, and his eyes rolled around.

Wu Niang secretly stuffed a big ticket and used immortal cultivation, but Qi Xuansu didn't notice.

Xiao Yin immediately said: "The purple gold one is beautiful."

Wu Niang picked up Xiao Yin and said proudly: "Look, Xiao Yin's eyes are sharp."

Xiao Yin deliberately blinked hard at Qi Xuansu: "Dear!"

After arriving at Jinque, there were already ceremonial officers in formation, and the real people attending the ceremony arrived one after another. The real people who stayed in Jinque, such as Shenzhi Zhenzhi and Zhang Dazhen, were basically there, including Donghua, Qingwei, and Cihang. See the real person.

Xiao Yin wore a small crane cloak specially customized for her today and blended in. But it is still very conspicuous. In such a place where real people gather, the third-grade Youyi Taoist priest is already very conspicuous, but the key is that it is even more conspicuous because he is a little one. Fortunately, real people are well-informed and are not surprised.

People kept congratulating Wu Niang and Qi Xuansu. In formal occasions, Western etiquette was not allowed. Qi Xuansu returned the congratulations one by one.

Qi Xuansu finally met the Heavenly Master whom he had not seen for a long time, but time was tight and did not allow for more talk. Maybe we could talk about it afterwards.

At the beginning of the ceremony, the Heavenly Master, as the great master on duty, first spoke some words about the scene, probably about how Jinque had welcomed a new member, and the audience expressed their welcome. The Heavenly Master formally introduced the two of them to everyone, which was a bit like a new ceremony.

Then Wu Niang was the first to step forward and stand in front of the Grand Master's throne.

The Heavenly Master took out the "Tai Shang Du Gong Sutra" that he had prepared, and presented it to fellow Taoist Qiwu on behalf of the Taoist sect.

Compared with Taoist crowns and official certificates, this is the most critical proof of identity.

Wu Niang took the sutra basket with both hands.

Then came Qi Xuansu.

The Heavenly Master took out the "Tai Xuan Jing Lu" corresponding to Shenzhi Zhenren.

The Heavenly Master is actually Wuniang’s junior, and it’s hard to say words of encouragement to Wuniang. He can only give simple instructions. However, Qi Xuansu is a junior in every sense, so he said: “From today on, you are the thirty-sixth member of the Taoist sect.” You are a member of Zhenzhi Zhenren. Considering your age, you will probably not stop here. The Tao Sect is ours and yours, but it is yours after all. You are like the sun in Chenshi, and you still have a long way to go. , I place my hope on you and look forward to the day when you will be successful."

Qi Xuansu took the sutra basket with both hands and saluted solemnly.
