Pawn Crossing the River

Qi Xuansu was not surprised that Bodhisattva Xiao was interested in the Great Snow Mountain Palace. The place of pilgrimage was in the Great Snow Mountain, and the baby was born somewhere in the Great Snow Mountain.

The pilgrims did not fight for the baby, but chose to build the Great Snow Mountain Palace in the Great Snow Mountain. There must be a deep meaning.

Although the palace originally belonged to the Khan of the Golden Horde in name, because the location was too remote and not conducive to the Khan's rule, the Khan rarely came here. In fact, it was managed by the Shamanism. When the witch king who refined the "Immortal Stone" came to power, he simply forced the Khan to "grant" this place to the Shamanism, which once became the center of Shamanism.

Xu Zu completed the finishing work of the "Eight Tribes Plan" here, and the witch king completed the early preparations for refining the "Immortal Stone" here.

However, the Shamanism did not expect that the rapid rise of Taoism and the Central Plains Dynasty would eventually recover the Western Regions, and the Great Snow Mountain Palace would fall into the hands of Taoism again and become the Taoist Palace of the Western Regions Daofu.

Shamanism launched the war in the Western Regions in the name of retaking the Great Snow Mountain Palace. If, as Qi Xuansu speculated, the descendants of the pilgrim shaman seized the supreme power of Shamanism, then this would make sense. There may be some secrets in the Great Snow Mountain Palace, which are related to the original pilgrimage, or even the opportunity for the second pilgrimage.

Then can we make further speculations on this basis - the existence of pilgrim monks and pilgrim shamans has made Buddhism and Shamanism taste the sweetness, so they want to make a second pilgrimage and get the "gift" again. The pilgrim shaman built the Great Snow Mountain Palace for the second pilgrimage, and the Great Snow Mountain Palace can be regarded as a place for sacrifice.

As a result, the Great Snow Mountain Palace fell into the hands of the Taoist sect. Because of various inheritance interruptions, the Taoist sect was completely unaware of the secrets of the pilgrimage. It's like the Taoist sect guarding the gate of the treasure but knowing nothing about it. The Taoist sect just thinks this place is good and doesn't realize the existence of the treasure. The Buddhist sect and Shamanism want to get the treasure by crossing the Taoist sect, but they are afraid that the Taoist sect will realize the existence of the treasure and get ahead of them.

You can imagine the entanglement between Buddhism and Shamanism.

If this guess is true, it means that the Taoist sect's work is not in place. It has been two hundred years since the Great Snow Mountain Palace was taken down, but the comprehensive exploration of the Great Snow Mountain Palace has not been completed. However, if you think about it carefully, it is reasonable. The Tianji Hall branch only filled in two ends of a tunnel, and the temple at the end of the tunnel was not carefully investigated. With this attitude, it is strange to discover the ultimate secret of the Great Snow Mountain Palace.

It may also be that this so-called pilgrimage secret was sealed. When the Shamanism left the Great Snow Mountain Palace, it took the "key" to unlock the seal and hid the seal. In addition, the Taoist sect did not know the inside story and did not deliberately look for it, so it did not discover this secret.

This matter can be put aside for the time being, and we can investigate it slowly after the current matter is over. After all, pilgrimages mostly involve "Eternal Heaven". If the operation is not done properly and "Eternal Heaven" is invited, the main force of the Taoist sect is dealing with the Buddhist sect and is unable to deal with it.

The key now is Ma Er.

It seems that it is not accidental that Xiao Bodhisattva parasitizes Madam Ma, but a kind of inevitability. Ma Er's internal and external cooperation is definitely indispensable. Maybe it was Ma Er who revealed this news to Xiao Bodhisattva.

Ma Er, this person, may have some relationship with the Yao family. Although Zhao Jiaowu can't explain the specific relationship, the people in the Taoist government obviously think so. It is unlikely to be fake. Even if it is fake, it is an extraordinary ability to deceive most of the Taoist government by pretending to be powerful. At the same time, he is secretly working for the Buddhist sect, and even helped the Buddhist sect to instigate a high-level official of the Taoist government.

From this point of view, Qi Xuansu's promise to help Madam Ma to uphold justice is still a blessing in disguise.

Qi Xuansu indicated that this interrogation would end here.

Lu Yujue brought the confession record to Zhao Jiaowu and handed the pen to him.

Zhao Jiaowu's face turned pale. He didn't rush to take the pen, but looked at Qi Xuansu: "Master Qi, you said my family."

Qi Xuansu said: "What I said always counts. As long as they are not involved, of course they can be saved."

Zhao Jiaowu took the pen, read the confession record roughly, signed it, and sealed it.

Qi Xuansu was about to get up and leave, and told Lu Yujue: "Don't make any more mistakes this time. I don't want to see a second jailbreak. In addition, keep it strictly confidential and don't let others know about this. Ma Er has been running the Daofu for many years and must be well-informed. Don't alarm the enemy."

Lu Yujue said solemnly: "Yes."

Qi Xuansu walked out, and Li Zhuyu followed behind.

The relationship between Qi Xuansu and Li Zhuyu is quite subtle. It is not that there is any relationship between the two of them, but that they are half enemies and half friends. Qi Xuansu first met Li Zhuyu outside Yujing City. Li Zhuyu showed the style of a Li family child. In fact, he came to threaten Qi Xuansu, but Qi Xuansu fought back. The second time they dealt with each other was the battlefield of Fenglinzhou, and then Borneo and Beichen Hall. The two of them were separated and combined, sometimes cooperating, and sometimes being enemies, all because of the situation.

Now Li Zhuyu has become Qi Xuansu's subordinate. He has the responsibility to check and balance Qi Xuansu, and he must obey Qi Xuansu's orders, cooperating in confrontation and cooperating in confrontation.

Qi Xuansu ordered: "Danjin, you lead the team in person, arrest Ma Er immediately, no need to take him back to the Daofu, interrogate him on the spot, and then directly arrest his accomplices, pay attention to confidentiality and synchronized actions."

As a Beichen Hall native, Li Zhuyu certainly understood what Qi Xuansu meant.

People like Ma Er are not specialized spies. This is not their main job, but a part-time job. Especially since they are connected to the top officials of the Taoist government, their ways of doing things are also very different. They may use regular safety reports. The way.

The so-called reporting of safety on a regular basis is not to pass on news when something goes wrong, but to regularly send a signal to others that you are still safe according to a certain pattern. If you do not take the initiative to report that you are safe on a certain day, something may have happened. Please confirm immediately and contact us again at this time. If not, something must be done.

Therefore, for a cunning guy like this, if there is any slight disturbance, no matter whether there is real danger or a misjudgment, he will escape first, hide in a relatively safe place and wait and see. If he finally finds something wrong, he will come back again and never take any chances. It's better to have a false alarm than to go to jail. As for the cost of escaping, etc., they are insignificant.

Therefore, Qi Xuansu said that there was no need to bring Ma Er back to the Taoist government. He could arrest Ma Er directly and interrogate him without wasting any time. Moreover, spies like this were not protected by the law and could act cheaply. At the same time, he emphasized that synchronized actions should not be captured first. Interrogate slowly, but identify the target and then act simultaneously, without giving them time to react.

Li Zhuyu has been in Beichen Hall for many years, so he naturally knows what it means and is familiar with how to operate it, so he followed the order.

Then Qi Xuansu took the confession record to see the real person Cihang.

Master Cihang did not deal with official matters, but was testing Xiao Yin's homework in school. Of course Xiao Yin's homework was a mess. If you are interested, you will learn more, if you are not interested, you will not learn much. If you have a little knowledge, you will add your own unique insights. , learning without thinking and thinking without learning are both taken up, and the results can be imagined.

Master Cihang raised her eyebrows as she asked. She has taught so many disciples and has many disciples and grandchildren. She has never encountered such a weird thing.

When Xiao Yin saw Qi Xuansu coming, she immediately felt like a savior had come and wanted to jump three feet high.

Master Cihang no longer embarrassed Xiao Yin or himself, and waved his hand to Xiao Yin to go play.

Xiao Yin was amnesty and jumped away.

Qi Xuansu handed the confession to Master Cihang and asked Master Cihang to explain it.

Master Cihang took the confession and glanced at it, and said: "Our first target is Xiao Bodhisattva. Although Xiao Bodhisattva is very interested in the Snow Mountain Palace, she will definitely not act rashly because of Monk Xiao's experience. We cannot guard her. The Daxue Mountain Palace is waiting for help and needs to take the initiative.”

Qi Xuansu said: "Xiao Bodhisattva said to Zhao Jiaowu that she would come to pick him up after she finished handling the matters at hand. Let's assume that this sentence is true. What was Xiao Bodhisattva at hand? Judging from her subsequent actions Look, it was mainly against me. Xiao Bodhisattva failed, but she didn’t take Zhao Jiaowu away, which shows that Xiao Bodhisattva didn’t stop there, she was still thinking of other ways to target me.”

Bodhisattva Xiao nodded slightly: "Following your train of thought, if Bodhisattva Xiao wants to deal with you, she must first deal with the 'Cangtian' in your hands. How is she going to deal with the 'Cangtian'?"

Qi Xuansu's expression changed slightly and he said: "The foundation for controlling 'Cangtian' lies in the seal of 'Cangtian' by the ancient Taiping Dao. Whether it is Wang Jujun's head or the 'divine talisman' I created, they are all based on the ancient Taiping Dao." On the basis of the seal, as long as Xiao Bodhisattva makes some tricks on the seal of the ancient Taiping Road, I will be unable to control the 'Cangtian'. And it will be very dangerous for me to meet Xiao Bodhisattva again without 'Cangtian'. After all, Xiao Bodhisattva can't control it. His cultivation level is even higher than that of Monk Xiao."

Master Cihang said thoughtfully: "So, Xiao Bodhisattva went to the Central Plains? This person is really bold."

Qi Xuansu said with great certainty: "Yunmengze, Yunshendongtian. When I was the master of the Wanxiang Dao Palace, I once visited this place. It happened that Yunmengze was magical. This matter cannot be hidden from the eyes of those who are interested. If Xiao Bodhisattva If you are willing to investigate, with her ability, it will be a matter of time to find Yun Mengze. "

Master Cihang said: "That is Gong Fu's territory. I will contact Gong Fu now and ask him to pay attention."

Qi Xuansu said: "Palace Master Su must be careful. Xiao Bodhisattva is extremely dangerous. He is definitely not comparable to Chen Shuhua and Zhou Mengyao."

After all, they were siblings. Master Cihang did not use the facilities of the Taoist government and contacted Su Yuanzai directly through the sutra.

"Sister, what's the matter?" Su Yuanzai's tone was quite casual, which showed that the relationship between the sister and brother was not bad.

Master Cihang got straight to the point: "Is there anything unusual in Yunshen Cave Heaven recently?"

Su Yuanzai was very surprised: "Sister, how do you know..."

Master Cihang interrupted him: "Don't worry about how I know. Let me tell you that now Buddhism is planning to attack the Cloud God Cave. A Buddhist immortal has sneaked into the Central Plains. As the master of the Xiangzhou Taoist House, you are here. At critical moments, you must shoulder your responsibilities.”
