Pawn Crossing the River

"Killing eagles and dogs... and a conference?" When Qi Xuansu heard this for the first time, he felt that he had only been away from the world for a few months, and he was already unable to keep up with the changes in the world.

"Brother Wei, don't you know?" Tian Yang said on the eighth day, "Xiping Mansion is going to hold an 'Eagle and Dog Killing Conference'. It is said that all the heroes in the world will join in the fun. In fact, there are no heroes at all. They are just... These are young people and criminals."

Qi Xuansu hesitated and said: "Could this so-called 'killing eagles and slaughtering dogs' mean..."

The eighth day Yang nodded and said: "It means eagle dog, and it generally refers to people from the imperial court and Taoist sects. Most of the people participating are members of secret societies, but they do not include Lingshan Witch Cult, Zhiming Cult, and Ziguang Society."

Qi Xuansu didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only say: "You are so brave, but why did they choose Xiping Mansion?"

On the eighth day, Yang Dao said: "Although Xiping Mansion is not too far from the Kunlun Ancestral Court, this group of people are not fools. They chose this place after they saw it clearly. Brother Wei must have heard about it. Now the situation in the Taoist sect is unstable. , the three deputy headmasters, Da Zhenren, became a fire and water, undercurrents surged in Yujing, and the Kunlun Taoist Mansion shrank completely. On the other side, the Western Region Taoist Mansion was at war with the Shamans again. The situation was anxious. The two Taoist Mansion simultaneously deployed manpower. As long as they did not take the initiative If you come to provoke people from the Taoist sect, the Taoist sect will not care about them."

Qi Xuansu understood clearly and said: "So, the eighth deputy Qianhu is also going to Xiping Mansion?"

On the eighth day, Yang Yang nodded and said: "Due to some changes in the Yongzhou Qianhu Office, the pro-military Duwei Mansion issued an order that the Yongzhou Qianhu Office, Liangzhou Qianhu Office and Shuzhou Qianhu Office will be jointly responsible for this matter. I Following the superior's order, I led people to Xiping Mansion to investigate the situation, but I didn't expect to encounter this group of people from the 'Tianting' on the way."

Not all Deputy Qianhu are responsible for the Qianhu Station. Sometimes the Deputy Qianhu is also in charge of a Hundred Household Office, and the Hundred Household Offices are scattered in various prefectures and counties, so on the eighth day, the group chose to pass through Yanze It makes sense.

Qi Xuansu pointed to the official uniforms worn by Tianyang and others on the eighth day: "This doesn't look like a detective."

"With this official uniform, it is convenient to rush through customs and stay at the inn. I wanted to wait until I got to Xiping Mansion before changing into civilian clothes." On the eighth day, Yang said with a bitter smile.

Just as he was talking, the shopkeeper had already come out of the back kitchen. He was not afraid when he saw the blood on the floor. He held a plate of cooked beef in his hand and said, "Your Majesty, your cooked beef."

"Please stay with me." Qi Xuansu apologized, went over to take the beef, took the key to his room, and went directly to the guest room on the second floor.

The guest room on the second floor was relatively clean, with only a bed and a table. Qi Xuansu sat on the bed, pulled over the table, and slowly drank while eating meat.

Just when I drink, I inevitably think of Zhang Yuelu again. Zhang Yuelu must have returned to Yujing safely, but I don’t know what she is doing at this time, drinking to relieve her sorrow? Or are you busy dealing with various official duties?

It's not that Qi Xuansu only knows about the love between children. It's true that men and women of this age have nothing to worry about. Qi Xuansu has been very restrained.

On the eighth day, Yang sat down in the lobby. Qingluan Wei came to the counter and knocked on the table. After the shopkeeper stood up, she dropped ten peace coins. The rest, under the command of Sui Fan, threw the bodies into the yard outside. During this period, when the door was opened, fierce wind and sand would inevitably flow into the lobby, but it was better than the smell of blood filling the room.

On the second day, the sandstorm stopped, and a thick layer of sand accumulated outside the door. Only bumps could be seen on the bodies that were thrown out. The Qingluan guards dragged the corpses out again, dug a deep pit outside, and buried all the corpses, not only to erase their whereabouts, but also to prevent epidemics.

On the eighth day, Tianyang invited Qi Xuansu to go to Xiping Mansion. Qi Xuansu agreed after thinking about it again and again. On the eighth day, a horse was given to Qi Xuansu, and the group set off on the road. After walking for a day, they finally left the Yanze area.

At nightfall, all the Qingluan people lit a bonfire and started to set up camp. Qi Xuansu was very familiar with this kind of thing. He quickly helped several injured Qingluan guards set up tents. However, he did not live in the tent. Instead, he sat by the campfire with Eighth Tianyang and Sui Fan, keeping vigil and chatting. .

As for the other Qingluan Guards, they didn't have the cultivation level of an innate person, and they were rushing with such intensity, and there were many injuries on their bodies. They couldn't bear it, so they all took a rest early.

A former member of the Taoist sect and two Qingluan guards were considered to be on the same page, and they accidentally talked about things in the world.

Tianyang sighed on the eighth day: "Back then, the Taoist sect had a saying of the Three Mysterious Lists, namely Lao Xuan, Tai Xuan, and Shao Xuan. The Lao Xuan List rated immortals, the Tai Xuan List rated heavenly beings, and the Shaoxuan List rated unborn people. Young talents who are over thirty years old, whether they are Taoist disciples or people in the world, can be on the list, with the exception of Confucianism, which was still the orthodox world at that time. "

Sui Fan said: "There is indeed such a saying. It is said that before Xuan Sheng was twenty years old, he was the number one Shaoxuan. After he became a celestial being, he was the number one Taixuan. Later, he defeated the leader of the Confucian sect and the Buddhist master and became the number one Lao Xuan. , it can be said that it is three yuan in a row.”

"It's a pity that Donghuang, who was also the first in Shaoxuan and the first in Taixuan, failed to win the first place in Lao Even though he is not the first, he will not be as good as Xuan Sheng.

Sui Fan smiled and said: "We are all brothers, losing to my elder brother is nothing."

Qi Xuansu had heard of such a statement and asked: "Why is there no such thing as the Three Mysteries List now?"

The eighth day Yangdao said: "There are many reasons, such as no one can make the list, the word 'Xuan' violates the taboo of Xuan Sheng and Daxuan, etc., but the most important reason is that I am afraid of offending people. We really want to make a selection, and Let’s not talk about the Grand Master, let’s talk about the three Deputy Masters. How should they be judged? They can’t let the three of them fight in person. Even if they don’t care, their disciples can’t. Do you care? Why is your ancestor taller than my ancestor? This must be unsatisfactory, so no one is willing to do this thankless job."

Sui Fan said: "In the Xuansheng era, first there was internal fighting among Taoist sects, then the battle between Confucianism and Taoism, and finally the battle between Buddhism and Taoism, as well as our Daxuan replacing Dawei's pursuit of the world, and later the recovery of Xizhou, it can be said that it was a war Continuously. At that time, there was even a saying of "Yuxu Sword Fighting". Each side selected ten people to compete with each other, regardless of life or death. , also have to personally take action, even Xuan Sheng, who is the great leader, is no exception. In this way, it is easy to distinguish who is higher and who is lower. Just rank them according to the results. If you haven't beaten, you haven't beaten, and others have not. Can't say anything."

Qi Xuansu sighed in his heart.

As the Taoist sect grew in power, today's top Taoist sects did not have to do everything as closely as their predecessors, and they had fewer opportunities to take action. However, he recalled what he had seen in Yunjin Mountain. Once an expert like Xuan Sheng took action, not to mention the sky would collapse. It was also a tremor. For ordinary people, it is also a good thing to take less action, so as to prevent gods from fighting and mortals suffering.

On the eighth day, Yang took out a wine bag, threw it to Qi Xuansu, and asked, "It's snowing tonight, can you have a drink?"

Qi Xuansu's drinking capacity was now increasing, so he caught the wine bag and said, "You can drink even without snow."

After saying that, Qi Xuansu raised the wine bag and took a sip without touching the mouth of the wine bag. He is not afraid that Qingluan Wei will put medicine in it. Ordinary medicine is useless to him. Blood energy and true energy work together. The medicine can block the true energy but not the blood. It can block the blood but not the true energy. It is very simple to resolve. , the medicine that works for him is not that expensive.

Qi Xuansu threw the wine bag back to the eighth day.

On the eighth day, Yang took a slow drink and continued: "However, without the Sanxuan List, there are still some ranking lists in the world, called the Worry-Free List, the Taiping List, and the Wishful List."

Qi Xuansu was stunned for a moment: "Worry-free money, Taiping money, Ruyi money?"

On the eighth day, Yang smiled and said: "Exactly, that's why they are also called the three lists of gold, silver and bronze."

Qi Xuansu shook his head and laughed: "I have been traveling around the world for a long time, but I have never heard of such a list."

"It's not surprising, this is a statement that just came out in the twelfth lunar month of last year, but the people behind the scenes were very clever. Within a month, it spread throughout the world." Yangdao on the eighth day.

Qi Xuansu asked curiously: "Who is the person behind the scenes?"

On the eighth day, Yang slowly said: "Qingping meeting."
