Pawn Crossing the River

Master Donghua got to the point: "If you catch the mole, what are you going to do with it?"

Qi Xuansu already had his own ideas when talking to Zhang Yuelu, and now he said directly: "My opinion is, seek truth from facts."

Master Donghua neither agreed nor objected, but just said: "Explain in detail."

Qi Xuansu continued: "If this matter is really related to Taiping Dao, it was Taiping Dao who was behind the scenes. In order to compete for the position of the Grand Master, he cooperated with Buddhism inside and outside, which eventually led to the unfortunate death of Chen Zhenren, with the intention of disrupting the Western Region. Then I will investigate. In the end, we will never tolerate it unless it is capped.”

Master Donghua nodded slightly and said, "What if it has nothing to do with Taiping Dao?"

Qi Xuansu said calmly: "If it has nothing to do with Taiping Dao, then give Taiping Dao a clean slate and don't let anyone know. I think that Master wants to compete for the great leader and integrate the increasingly divided Taoist sects, and he is doing it in an upright way. It is not appropriate to use more The method of magic and deception. We must convince Taiping Dao to lose. If we use this excuse, we will fall into the conspiracy of Buddhism, and there is the possibility of overthrowing Taiping Dao, which will be a sin for thousands of years. "

Master Donghua leaned back in his chair: "What you said makes sense. I don't have to be the great leader, but I can't be the eternal sinner who splits the Taoist sect."

At this point, even Qi Xuansu began to think about his life and death, let alone Donghua Zhenren?

Qi Xuansu said no more. There's only so much he can say, and he can't go against Tiangang.

Master Donghua finally said: "Whatever you think, do whatever you want. I support you."

Qi Xuansu breathed a sigh of relief.

In any case, Master Qingwei and Master Donghua are still very graceful, still have a reputation, and still put Taoism first. On the whole, both of them showed the excellent qualities of restraint, tolerance and taking the overall situation into consideration. The tacit understanding between the two gradually became the anchor of the Taoist sect, which prevented the Taoist sect from truly falling apart.

On the contrary, the two old... people, the National Master and the Earth Master, were more radical. Hard to say.

This conversation was different from usual. After determining the general direction, Master Donghua did not explain specifically what Qi Xuansu should do. After all, at this level, he was already in charge. He had his own rules for how to do things and did not need to be taught by others.

Master Donghua emphasized that Qi Xuansu should pay attention to his own safety.

Qi Xuansu took advantage of the situation and briefly talked about his experience some time ago. After all, Master Donghua trusts him so much, so he naturally also trusts Master Donghua.

This kind of trust is also based on strong moral constraints from the outside world.

Just as Qi Xuansu considered reconciling with Zhou Mengyao after venting his grievances, in the Eastern world, patricide is a very serious political and moral issue, but in the Western world, patricide is a tragic issue. In Western myths and legends , plots of patricide are common, and they are all attributed to tragedy rather than criticism.

In the East, killing any father, be it biological father, adoptive father, adopted father, or master, is a violation of human ethics, and one must bear serious moral accusations and political attacks. No one would do this unless absolutely necessary.

In this moral environment, even if the father's crimes were extremely heinous, it would not be his son's turn to exterminate the family. Although there is a special situation like Tian family having no relatives, when there is strong external pressure, there must be a high degree of mutual trust between father and son.

However, Qi Xuansu's report was still detailed and appropriate, and Su Yuanzai could not be sold off. Although Su Yuanzai might become Donghua's brother-in-law, it was hard to say how his brother-in-law viewed his brother-in-law.

After listening to this, Master Donghua was a little surprised: "A few days ago, the Xiangzhou Taoist Office did report this matter, but I didn't pay too much attention to it. There is such an inside story."

Qi Xuansu looked at Master Donghua, obviously expecting him to give some advice.

Donghua Zhenren is the second person in Quanzhen Taoism and one of the candidates for the Seventh Generation Grand Master. To him, 99% of the secrets within the Taoist sect are completely open to the public, so he must know more about the demons outside the territory than Zhou Zhou. Mengyao is just a lot more.

Master Donghua pondered for a moment and said: "I have heard a little bit about the 'Cangtian' thing, but I don't know that the ancient Taiping Dao sealed 'Cangtian' in Wang Jujun's body, let alone what happened in Yunshen Cave. After all, There was a time when the inheritance of Taiping Dao was cut off. The current Taiping Dao was essentially dug out from the pile of old papers by Xuansheng, reorganized by Xuansheng, and forcibly kneaded by Xuansheng. The one that truly has an orderly inheritance is Zhengdao."

"As for how the Daxuan court knew this secret, it should be related to Wang Jujun's head. It may be that predecessors left records about the role of human heads. The Daxuan court not only obtained the heads, but also obtained relevant records. It can be deduced from this found the body."

"I will pay attention to things about 'Cangtian'. There is also something about 'Huangtian', I also know a little bit about it. 'Huangtian' defeated 'Cangtian', as for how the ancient Taiping Road solved 'Huangtian' , should be related to Emperor Jinque."

When Qi Xuansu heard this, he finally couldn't help but ask: "Emperor Jinque? The Jinque of Zifu Jinque?"

Donghua Zhenren said: "Everyone in the world knows the Three Ways and the Three Qing Patriarchs, and it is inevitable that they mistakenly think that the Three Ways correspond to the Three Qing Patriarchs. In fact, this is not the case. During the ancient Taiping Tao period, the people they believed in were not the Sanqing Patriarchs or the Taishang Taoist Patriarchs, but the Three Pure Ways Patriarchs. This is Emperor Jinque, whose full name is "Emperor Taiping, Queen of Jinque". Everyone knows that the first generation of great virtuous masters was named Zhang. He was not Zhang from the Shangqing Dynasty, but Zhang Dazhen. Do you know why the Li family is respected in Taiping Road? ?”

Qi Xuansu's heart moved: "This Jinque Emperor's surname is Li?"

Donghua Zhenren said: "That's right. The Taiji Jinque Emperor's surname is Li, and he is also known as the Taiping Master of Renchen's Lower Sect."

Qi Xuansu thought for a while and asked tentatively: "If nothing else happens, this emperor is also the incarnation of the Taishang Taoist?"

Master Donghua said: "Emperor Jinque is indeed the incarnation of Taishang Taoist Ancestor. However, after the inheritance of the ancient Taiping Dao was cut off, Emperor Jinque gradually became unknown to the world. However, the Li family still inherited it, and its descendants branched out to establish Daqi. The imperial court, this is one of the reasons why they claim to be descendants of Taozu."

Qi Xuansu finally figured it out. Taishang Daozu claimed to be doing nothing, but in fact he was doing everything. Daozu's incarnations have been spread throughout the past and present, and he has always intervened in the direction of the world at critical moments. Moreover, according to the cultivation method of the second ascension of the immortal incarnation, Daozu's cultivation level has already reached Unfathomable.

Qi Xuansu said thoughtfully: "In this way, it was Taishang Daozu who suppressed 'Huang Tian' and sealed 'Huang Tian' in the bodies of the three emperors."

Donghua Zhenren said: "Strictly speaking, it is sealed in the blood of the descendants of the Red Emperor, and I suspect that the incarnation of Emperor Jinque did not return to the Tao Ancestor, but fell while suppressing 'Huang Tian', thus indirectly This led to the decline of the ancient Taiping Road."

Qi Xuansu asked again: "Will this seal be passed down as the bloodline continues?"

Master Donghua said: "It should be possible."

Qi Xuansu cleared his throat.

Master Donghua smiled and said: "Don't think about it, you are definitely not. Now you have been promoted to Master Shenzhi. You have been checked by the Immortal Level 1 countless times. Do you really have some secret bloodline? It’s basically impossible to hide who you are as an incarnation. If I don’t attack you as a teacher, you are just one of thousands of ordinary people.”

Qi Xuansu was not embarrassed: "It's good for ordinary people. This is how I show my ability. I don't have bloodline, but I am better than those who have bloodline. It also shows that I am the chosen one."

Master Donghua laughed again: "This kind of thing can be discussed privately between masters and disciples, but don't talk nonsense outside. Those who don't know may think it is the sequelae of the 'Xirui Sutra'."

Qi Xuansu said: "This is natural. I can still distinguish the importance of this."

Master Donghua said: "The Daxuan Court failed to get 'Cangtian', and will not let go of 'Huangtian'. We cannot let the Daxuan Court get what they want, and we have to start looking for the descendants of the Red Emperor."

Qi Xuansu said: "After I return, I will conduct an investigation on the Dao Palace, but outside the Dao Palace..."

Donghua Zhenren said: "There is no rush, just plan it slowly. The key is to keep an eye on every move of the Daxuan court. I will arrange for others to do this. Your main task is to stabilize the Western Region and track down the traitors."

Qi Xuansu said seriously: "Yes."

Master Donghua suddenly remembered something and said instead: "By the way, how is your adopted daughter Xiao Yin doing lately?"

Qi Xuansu sighed: "Only when you become a parent do you realize how difficult it is to be a parent."

Master Donghua said in a consultative tone: "Speaking of it, Xiao Yin is my grandson. I heard that you asked Xiao Yin to be the secretary of Master Qi Da. This time Master Qi Da will be on the front line in person. Buddhism is not soft. "Persimmon, the battlefield is dangerous and Xiao Yin is still a child. Are you considering changing her position?"

Qi Xuansu was silent for a short time and then refused.

"Thank you Master for your concern. I have decided to let her follow me on the battlefield."

"In times of peace, some people want treatment and benefits, so they flock to the ranks of Taoist priests. When they feel that they are suffering, they sharpen their heads and want to leave the ranks of Taoist priests."

"The Taoist sect is yours, mine, and even more importantly theirs. When the world is at peace, you can't act as a secretary to the great master to seek your future, and then run away when real swords and guns are shed and sacrifices are made. There is no such thing. The truth is, I don’t have such a privilege, and neither does she.”

After speaking, Qi Xuansu lowered his head slightly.

He also knew that these words were a bit disgraceful to Master Donghua. After all, Master Donghua had good intentions.

However, Master Donghua is not a narrow-minded person. Not only does he not care, but he also praises: "I am very happy that you can have this realization. If people in the Taoist sect can have such a belief like you, our Taoist sect's affairs , that’s easy to handle.”

"What you just said is right. Are our children just going through the motions? When it's time to bleed and sacrifice, let ordinary people do it? This is not the character of the Taoist sect."

"As the saying goes, brothers fighting tigers, father and son go into battle. If the Taoist sect decides to send the real person in charge of the army, then I will definitely go there in person, but now it seems that it is unlikely. I have no children, only disciples. Master and disciple are like father and son. It's up to you to go to the front on my behalf."

"This time we are three generations fighting together, master and apprentice, father and daughter, hand in hand."

"I wish you success."
