Pawn Crossing the River

Qi Xuansu asked the most critical question: "What did Jia Shen Lingguan go through?"

Qin Wubing's answer was also very simple: "According to what the Jia Shen Lingguan said, their main opponents are the soldiers guarding the city. It seems that Batu Khan placed all the troops in the city on his side. Could it be that there is something wrong with the Jia Shen Lingguan? ?"

Qi Xuansu said: "Whether there is any problem with the Jia Shen Lingguan, we can't draw any conclusions now, but something has happened to Jia Shen Lingguan's men. You must already know what happened to Chen Zhenren. After Chen Zhenren's accident, Beichen Hall asked everyone in the Taoist government A comprehensive review was conducted. The inner ghost was not caught, but this person was caught. He had also been to the West Courtyard and was seriously injured. After the war, he was placed in the Western Region Taoist House, but he secretly carried out living activities. Sacrifice. That’s how I learned about the ‘Eternal Life’.”

Qin Wubing understood somewhat: "So Brother Tianyuan suspects that Jia Shen Lingguan may be related to the 'Eternal Life Heaven'."

Qi Xuansu leaned back on his chair: "This is a first-grade spiritual official. There are only twelve Dao gates in this world. It is also at this time, the Buddhist sect is aggressive, and the Taoist government is in the midst of employing people. I don't want anything to happen to him, but now All signs indicate that Jia Shenlingguan is highly suspicious."

Qin Wubing's face became serious: "No wonder Brother Tianyuan wants to invite me to meet and discuss it in detail. It involves an important person like a first-grade spiritual official, so we must be cautious."

Qi Xuansu asked: "Are there any other details?"

Qin Wubing carefully recalled it for a moment and said, "If we talk about the details, Jia Shenlingguan was the first to arrive, but we were the ones who arrived later. It's hard to say what happened before that."

Qi Xuansu said thoughtfully: "It seems that we have to find a client."

Zhang Yuelu said: "After the war in the Western Regions, the armies that participated in the war were disbanded and returned to their respective positions. Most of the parties involved were not in the Western Regions. Even Jiashen Lingguan himself and Chen Zhenren were involved. After the incident, Jin Que considered that he had participated in commanding the war in the Western Regions. He was familiar with the situation in the Western Regions, so he was transferred back to the Western Regions for the second time. In the past, Ding Si Lingguan had been guarding the Western Regions."

Qi Xuansu said: "We need to find a key party and ask about the situation in detail. We can't be ignorant."

Zhang Yuelu said directly: "Leave this matter to me. I am the chief of Tiangang Hall and am in charge of the spiritual officials. It is easier to mobilize."

Qi Xuansu nodded slightly: "Okay."

Then Qi Xuansu looked at Qin Wubing again: "I still have to go to Brother Ji and write a statement. If Jinque and Tiangangtang ask me in the future, I will have something to say and something to rely on."

Qin Wubing hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."

Qi Xuansu stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much."

"It's about the Western Region, and I can't thank you enough for what I'm responsible for." Qin Wubing also stood up and said.

When Qin Wubing left, only Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu were left. Naturally, there was nothing that couldn't be said between the couple. Qi Xuansu closed the door and said, "Qingxiao, this matter is not simple. I think it's best to report it to Ci Xuansu." Hang Zhenren.”

Zhang Yuelu said: "Even if Jiashen Lingguan is related to the 'Eternal Life', how did he get related to Buddhism?"

Qi Xuansu took out the book related to "Eternal Life". The cover was made of a strange metal, and a big eye was engraved on the front. It should be exactly the same as the eye engraved on the stone tablet seen in the Beiting Protectorate.

The owner of this eye is "Eternal Life".

Of course Qi Xuansu did not open this book. He had already experienced the power of "Eternal Life Heaven".

Qi Xuansu pressed his closed eyes on the cover with his hand and said slowly: "The two sides in the war in the Western Region are Taoism and Shamanism. Where does Shamanism get the confidence? It's just Buddhism and Rakshasa Kingdom that support him. Behind Rakshasa Kingdom is the Holy Court , let’s not talk about it, the key point is Buddhism. Batu Khan’s incident will not happen sooner or later. But when the war in the Western Regions broke out, Batu Khan was entrusted by the ‘Immortal Sky’ in his dream. This incident was both inside and outside. It reveals something strange.”

Zhang Yuelu said thoughtfully: "You mean, this 'Eternal Life Heaven' was actually introduced by Buddhism, and there is some kind of relationship between the two?"

Qi Xuansu said: "I can't help but think so. There are three thousand worlds and the concepts of heavenly demons in Buddhist teachings. Since the ancient Taiping Dao can establish a connection with 'Huang Tian', and Xiao Wang can establish a connection with 'Cang Tian', then Buddhism Why can't we establish contact with 'Eternal Life'?"

Zhang Yuelu's face was solemn and he agreed with Qi Xuansu's guess: "I will communicate with the master."

Qi Xuansu stopped her again: "You have to strengthen your own protection, be careful not to be targeted by the 'Eternal Life Sky'."

Zhang Yuelu said: "Don't worry, the 'Three and Five Male and Female Evil-Slaying Swords' are at your side to ward off all evil. On the contrary, you are the most dangerous, dealing with these ghosts all day long."

Everything between the couple was casual, and Zhang Yuelu directly connected with the people in Cihang Town in Qi Xuansu's room.

At this time, Master Cihang was not in Tiangang Hall, but was holding a meeting at the Female Taoist Priests Joint Mutual Aid Association. Except for Li Minghuang, the people who participated in the meeting were all female Taoist priests, but most of them were part-time and had their own duties. Only Li Minghuang was the one who attended the meeting. Specialized in this.

This is not a whim of Master Cihang, it is mainly because Master Jiang Dazhen criticized him from afar without naming him, so he must have an attitude.

Master Cihang naturally wants to criticize

"The term Huayuan Taoist is not nice to hear, but I couldn't find a more appropriate word to replace it."

"Some of our female Taoist priests who were born in Huayuan Taoist priests only know how to preach and recite slogans such as 'freedom', 'independence' and 'oppose oppression' everywhere. They never think about where to start based on the actual situation."

"When resolving disputes, they always favor female Taoist priests and severely punish male Taoist priests, which makes the equality work unable to gain sympathy from the public opinion and isolated. With the one-sided view of female Taoist priests, they use the system of female Taoist priests' work to demand independence from the Taoist sect."

"When the work encounters setbacks, they do not summarize the experience, but arrogantly complain that the Taoist sect does not help and support the work of female Taoist priests."

"Some of us advocate this unhealthy trend, which makes some female Taoist priests from the bottom of society follow suit when they are promoted to high positions one day. As a result, some wild Taoist priests have become flower garden Taoist priests, with their feet not touching the ground, their soles not touching the mud, and they are all high above others."

"This subjective, formalistic, and unrealistic style has prevented many equality work from truly penetrating into the vast Taoist community, and has caused major setbacks in the work of female Taoist priests."

"Therefore, the theme of our discussion today is: to establish a new direction for the work of female Taoist priests."

At this point, Cihang Zhenren paused for a moment and took a sip of tea.

This sip of tea was not because Cihang Zhenren was thirsty, but to leave time for the attendees to digest what she had just said, and at the same time Cihang Zhenren could take the opportunity to observe the reactions of the crowd.

At this moment, Qian Wan quickly walked to Cihang Zhenren and whispered: "Zhenren, Chief Zhang is here to report."

Cihang Zhenren nodded slightly and looked at Bai Yingqiong: "Zhenren Bai,

Zhang Yuelu is the number one successor of Cihang Zhenren, and Bai Yingqiong is the number two successor. In the future, Zhang Yuelu's energy will mostly be focused on the level of Zhengyi Dao. If Zhang Yuelu becomes the Grand Master or the Grand Master's wife, she will have to look at the entire Daoist level. The affairs of the Cihang lineage will inevitably fall on Bai Yingqiong's head, so Bai Yingqiong has nothing to hate. What belongs to her is still hers. The extra things Zhang Yuelu has either come from family inheritance or from her husband. and their own abilities, which are not inherited from their teachers. Unless they are reborn, there is no way to change.

Because of the huge gap, Bai Yingqiong can keep a normal mind, and hopes that Zhang Yuelu will go as high as possible, and she, the senior sister, will also benefit from it.

The most likely to cause sisters to turn against each other is that they are not much different.

So Bai Yingqiong has a good relationship with Cihang Zhenren, and they have a tacit understanding over the years.

Bai Yingqiong took over the conversation: "The words of Cihang Zhenren just now touched my heart. I am ashamed. My work has become like this. Every time I report, I praise it like a flower, but what is the result? The real situation is not even as good as weeds. Jinque just didn't criticize by name this time, I'm afraid I will name it next time."

Bai Yingqiong glanced at Cihang Zhenren, and then said: "Today, I would like to make a suggestion to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the overall work of the Mutual Aid Association, and to make comprehensive rectifications on the problems found. For the relevant responsible persons, those who should be dismissed should be dismissed, and those who should be investigated should be investigated, and they will never be tolerated. ”

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Master Cihang stood up and left the meeting hall, went to the lounge next to him, and started talking to Zhang Yuelu.

Zhang Yuelu quickly recounted the situation, including Qi Xuansu's speculation and the measures that had been taken.

After listening, Master Cihang pondered for a moment and said, "I didn't expect that such a thing would happen. I agree with your opinion to isolate and examine the Jiashen Lingguan first. I will say hello to the Lingguan Mansion."

"Regarding the details of the so-called 'Eternal Heaven', the Jiashen Lingguan did not report to the Tiangang Hall, nor to Master Donghua, the military master. He did not ask for instructions beforehand, did not report afterwards, did not report major events, and reported minor events every day. What is this? This is disloyalty to the Taoist sect. Just based on this one point, he can be investigated. This is a matter of principle, and there is nothing to say. "

"As for the other parties involved, I will arrange for someone to conduct a comprehensive review, focusing on the Lingguans. "

"You and Tianyuan have done a great job on this matter. This is a big deal and must be taken seriously. You can't be careless in the slightest. Send a copy of what Qin Wubing wrote to Tiangang Hall."

"I'll let you know when the results come out. If necessary, I'll go to the Snow Mountain Palace in person."

"By the way, there's also the issue of Zhao Jiaowu. You'd better tell Donghua Zhenren in advance. After all, he manages Ziwei Hall and is a Quanzhen Daoist. If the Earth Master asks about it, he can help you."

"Okay, that's it."
