Pawn Crossing the River

After many years of vacancy in the position of Grand Master, Zixiao Palace finally welcomed its seventh master.

Donghua Zhenren Pei Xuanzhi was successfully elected as the seventh Grand Master.

At least on the surface, it was the popular choice.

Qingwei Zhenren contributed greatly.

When others ask you to put the overall situation first, you are most likely not within the scope of the overall situation.

So it is nothing to make others suffer for the overall situation, just have a mouth. It is a real hero to make yourself suffer for the overall situation.

Qi Xuansu had to admire him.

At the beginning, Qingwei Zhenren said to Qi Xuansu: He would be loyal to the Grand Master. Qi Xuansu was actually skeptical. After all, war is a trick. What if Qingwei Zhenren deliberately paralyzed Qi Xuansu? This matter of life and death, no one dared to take this risk.

Now it seems that Qi Xuansu was judging others by his own meanness.

However, Qi Xuansu was not surprised. After all, Qi Xuansu had been a subordinate of Qingwei Zhenren and knew a little about Qingwei Zhenren's character. Compared with other Li family members, Qingwei Zhenren is indeed different, more like Xuansheng in the past, both of them are rebellious Li family members. Qi Xuansu can only understand that good bamboo shoots come out of bad bamboo.

Of course, there are also the reasons of the six first-grade spiritual officials, but when Qi Xuansu had not left Jinque, Qingwei Zhenren did not express his position, which meant that he had made a decision.

This also has to mention the legality of the procedure for Qi Xuansu holding the "Three Treasures Ruyi".

In extraordinary times, extraordinary things are done. Naturally, these things are not taken care of at the time, but it is inevitable that someone will say something afterwards.

However, Qi Xuansu also has something to say, which is actually a loophole.

At the beginning, Qi Xuansu only sent Xiao Yin out, and Qi Xuansu himself did not move and stayed in Jinque.

Qi Xuansu did not leave Jinque until the Heavenly Master announced the victory of Donghua Zhenren for the first time.

From this point of view, Qi Xuansu's claim that he followed the decree of the Grand Master was really correct. The key lies in whether the first announcement of victory by the Heavenly Master on behalf of the Grand Master Election Committee is valid.

In fact, if Taiping Dao dared not to admit the election results, then it was inevitable that they would fall out, and Qi Xuansu was even more correct. It can only be said that there is a dispute here, and each party has its own reasons, but it cannot be said that Qi Xuansu is completely unreasonable.

In the final analysis, after the Heavenly Master first announced that Donghua Zhenren won the election, if Taiping Dao admitted the election results, then Qi Xuansu would not have to make this trip at all.

After the election of the Grand Master, the matter is not over, and there will be a ceremony to ascend the throne.

The location is not Jinque, but Zixiao Palace, the residence of the Grand Master.

And the pomp will be bigger than today, because in addition to the Taoists, other guests will come to congratulate, including the Great Xuan Emperor and the three great priests of the Confucian school.

The representative of the Buddhist sect is Zhao Maitreya, the confidant of the Dharma King Wuzhi, and the representative of the Holy Court is Machino, the director of the Xipo Suozhou Company.

Both are old acquaintances of Qi Xuansu. The former has just dealt with him, and the latter has dealt with him in Nanyang.

As representatives, the two will bring congratulations and gifts from the King of Emptiness and the Pope, which is of great significance.

Because the venue needs to be arranged, the enthronement ceremony is scheduled for tomorrow and will not be held immediately.

Too many people surrounded Donghua Zhenren to express congratulations. Qi Xuansu gave the "Three Treasures Ruyi" and then stepped back a little to give others a chance. In the past half month, Qi Xuansu and Donghua Zhenren have met almost every day. It can be foreseen that the future will not be too bad. It is not easy for others to meet the Grand Master, but Qi Xuansu is an exception. There is no need to rush.

However, soon another group of people surrounded Qi Xuansu and also expressed congratulations. Some even called him "Little Master".

The reason is simple. Donghua Zhenren is the Grand Master. Qi Xuansu, as Donghua Zhenren's disciple and a strong contender for the Eighth Generation Grand Master, is naturally the Little Master.

This is much more impressive than the Little State Master.

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but be curious. How should these people who curry favor with the powerful call Xiao Yin? Little Master?

I have to say that this title is still quite childish. It sounds like it is for children.

Qi Xuansu dealt with the people who came to congratulate him and walked out of the Golden Palace slowly.

Then he found that Xiao Yin was bullying the old Taoist priest outside. Her short arms and legs did not prevent her from riding on the old Taoist priest and drawing a few strokes on the old Taoist priest's face with a big brush.

Qi Xuansu hurriedly stopped Xiao Yin and asked her to get off the old Taoist priest.

This naughty child is becoming more and more lawless.

Xiao Yin was a little annoyed. There was no big scene at all, and she was excited in vain.

Young people do not know the taste of sorrow. At this time, Xiao Yin did not understand what it meant to fight.

It was the division of Taoism, the suffering of all living beings, and the chaos of the world.

It actually made everyone feel relieved that they could not fight.

So Donghua Zhenren sincerely praised Qingwei Zhenren for his noble character.

Of course, Donghua Zhenren was not bad either. Qingwei Zhenren believed that Donghua Zhenren would not settle accounts, so he could focus on the overall situation. The two seventh-generation disciples jointly stabilized the overall situation of Taoism. Compared with the three masters of the previous generation, they are much stronger. Isn't this a case of good bamboo shoots coming out of bad bamboo?

It can also be said that the environment is like this, and people's hearts are always like this. During the period of great unification, they think that unification is natural and always want to fight. After the world is in pieces, they demand unification again. Therefore, the current three masters were born during the fifth generation of the Grand Master, and the three crown princes were born during the sixth generation of the Grand Master.

The next step is to report safety.

Qi Xuansu contacted Zhang Yuelu first.

Almost as soon as Qi Xuansu activated the sutra, the call was connected immediately, which shows that Zhang Yuelu has been guarding the sutra all the time.

"What's going on?" Zhang Yuelu asked directly.

Qi Xuansu said: "It was a close call. True Man Qingwei is very righteous and upright. He acknowledged the election results. Master was successfully elected as the seventh Grand Master of Taoism. Preparations for the enthronement ceremony have begun."

Even Zhang Yuelu was obviously relieved: "This is the best, this is the best."

Qi Xuansu asked: "How is your side?"

Zhang Yuelu said: "No trouble, everything is going well. In short, Deputy Chairman Lu is very reliable, and Chief Li is very aware of the current situation."

Qi Xuansu said: "In this case, would you consider coming back? I won't force you, you can decide for yourself based on the actual situation."

Zhang Yuelu thought for a while: "Just in case, I still won't go back. I have already taken ninety-nine steps, and this last step is not a big deal."

Qi Xuansu really didn't There was a strong request: "That's fine. It's a pity that you will miss the Grand Master's enthronement ceremony, which only happens once every few decades. But then again, you are still young and can wait for my enthronement ceremony. As the Grand Master's wife, you can't be absent anyway."

Zhang Yuelu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You are a little too confident, as if the eighth generation Grand Master is already in your pocket, right?"

Qi Xuansu said: "If you come to be the Grand Master, then I can be the Grand Master's husband, that's fine."

"You." Zhang Yuelu said helplessly, "Since Yujing is fine, I won't talk to you. By the way, Xiao Yin hasn't caused any trouble recently, right?"

Qi Xuansu glanced at the place where the old Taoist priest had just been lying, and said calmly: "Xiao Yin is very well behaved."

Zhang Yuelu was relieved.

Qi Xuansu contacted Qi Niang again. Qi Niang was busy with something and only replied with three words: "I know."

At this moment, Zhou Mengyao, wearing a cloak, appeared silently on the square of Jinque. Looking at the Jinque, which seemed to be full of rays of light, her face was complicated and she was a little absent-minded.

This might be the closest she has ever been to Jinque. Although she has the cultivation of an immortal, she probably has no chance to visit Jinque in this life due to historical issues. She can only take advantage of this rare opportunity to get close to Jinque.

Qi Xuansu took the initiative to say: "Sanniang."

After a long time, and because of the change of appearance, Qi Xuansu could not call out the word "Master" anyway.

Zhou Mengyao came back to his senses: "What are you doing here? What is the result inside?"

Qi Xuansu only answered with four words: "The overall situation has been decided."

Zhou Mengyao said "Oh" calmly, and did not seem surprised.

Qi Xuansu asked, "Where is Master Jin Gong?"

"He left." Zhou Mengyao said, "Since it's impossible, of course he has to leave. Will he stay to attend the enthronement ceremony?"

Qi Xuansu asked, "What about you? Do you want to attend the enthronement ceremony?"

Zhou Mengyao laughed at himself and said, "Me? I'm afraid I don't have the qualifications. What should I do with all the lotus crowns in the hall? Serve tea and water for others?"

Qi Xuansu didn't know what to say, so he changed the subject: "What is Qi Niang busy with recently?"

Zhou Mengyao glanced at Qi Xuansu with a strange expression: "Didn't she tell you?"

Qi Xuansu shook his head and said, "No, it's mysterious."

Zhou Mengyao said, "I don't know either. We haven't been in touch for a long time."

Qi Xuansu intuitively thought that Zhou Mengyao was not telling the truth, but he didn't ask. These two people have lied to him more than once or twice, and even if he asked, he probably wouldn't get the truth.

Qi Xuansu turned and said, "It is said that three women make a drama. You, Qi Niang, and the Earth Master, you three are always mysterious. What are you planning?"

Zhou Mengyao laughed and said in a gloomy way, "Of course, it is to plan for the Grand Master. Otherwise, what else can you plan."

Qi Xuansu said, "The Earth Master is about to ascend to heaven, and Master Donghua has just become the Grand Master. I really can't figure out how to plan for the Grand Master. Is the Earth Master going to become a one-calamity immortal?"

Zhou Mengyao said, "Then you have to ask the Earth Master. I am not the Earth Master, how do I know?"

Qi Xuansu saw that Zhou Mengyao was full of nonsense, true and false, false and true, making it impossible to distinguish. I wonder if Zhou Mengyao doesn't want to say it, or doesn't dare to say it?

At this moment, Xiao Yin ran over and stared at Zhou Mengyao with a vigilant look on his face: "Old Qi, who is she?"

Qi Xuansu said casually: "You can call her Sanniang."

Xiao Yin suddenly realized: "Qi Niang, Wu Niang, San Niang, are there also Da Niang and Jiu Niang?"

Qi Xuansu said: "Maybe, you can dig slowly, maybe one day you will find a Da Niang and Jiu Niang."

Zhou Mengyao was too lazy to waste words with the father and daughter, waved his sleeves, turned around and left.

Qi Xuansu watched Zhou Mengyao leave, and his mood was not as good as he imagined.
