Pawn Crossing the River

Qi Xuansu finally returned home. Because he didn't say hello in advance, Zhang Yuelu was not there. There were only the Taoists who had just finished their vacation.

At this time, Zhang Yuelu should still be in Tiangang Hall. It was unclear whether she would come back tonight. Qi Xuansu and Xiao Yin were not there, so it was meaningless to come back. She might as well stay in Tiangang Hall. Anyway, her signing room had a quiet room and a bedroom, which saved her the trouble of running back and forth. Sometimes when Tiangang Hall was not busy, Zhang Yuelu would live nearby in the residence of Cihang Zhenren. When Cihang Zhenren was not there, she had moved to Zixiao Palace.

From this point of view, Zhang Yuelu was the most worthy of the silver given to her by the Taoist sect.

However, I don't know if the couple had a tacit understanding. Zhang Yuelu actually broke the convention today and came back from Tiangang Hall. Qi Xuansu gave her a small surprise.

Since getting married, Zhang Yuelu has changed her personal hobbies. Before marriage, Zhang Yuelu loved drinking, and after marriage, Zhang Yuelu loved cooking.

In fact, cooking is nothing special. The key is that Zhang Yuelu doesn't follow the routine. In her opinion, following the recipe step by step can guarantee the taste, but it loses the true meaning of cooking.

Innovation is necessary.

So, magical dishes such as "Twenty-four Bridges on a Moonlit Night" and "Whose Jade Flute Flies in the Dark" came.

This is also the reason why Xiao Yin cried and complained that Zhang Yuelu abused her.

This thing is really not for human consumption. The Heavenly Master shook his head after eating it.

Since Qi Xuansu suddenly came home and gave Zhang Yuelu a surprise, Zhang Yuelu had to return the favor. She decided to prepare a welcoming banquet for Qi Xuansu and guaranteed that it was definitely a dish that was not available outside. It was all original that she had come up with in her spare time recently.

Qi Xuansu forced a smile and couldn't refuse Zhang Yuelu's intention.

So Zhang Yuelu began to show his skills. The Taoists at home all came to help Zhang Yuelu, and it was funny inside and out.

For the Taoists, this is not a hard job. Zhang Yuelu neither hits nor scolds people, nor loses her temper. When she is at home, she is not "domineering" at all, and is very gentle. In this regard, Zhang Yuelu is indeed like the five generations of great masters. She is strict with the upper echelons of the Taoist sect, but she can be kind to ordinary people. It is not nonsense to say that she has the style of the five generations of great masters.

Of course, it can also be changed to a utilitarian perspective. Treat the people around you well and don't offend them. If you have to offend them, then don't leave any trouble.

Qi Xuansu did not participate, but just watched from a distance and enjoyed the warmth of home.

The mood that has not been able to calm down, but at this moment, it tends to be calm.

No wonder people say that home is a safe haven.

Qi Xuansu has a deeper understanding of this sentence.

When Zhang Yuelu brought the results of the night, Qi Xuansu suggested: "Everyone has been busy all night, this is everyone's result, come and sit together, don't be polite."

The Taoists said that they were originally welcoming Master Qi, there was no such rule, and they had already eaten, so in summary, they would forget it, please enjoy it slowly.

Under Zhang Yuelu's gaze, what else could Qi Xuansu say, so he had to enjoy it alone.

This meal was very "enjoyable". Qi Xuansu's martial arts physique would not hurt his stomach even if he ate stones, and the key was that these things did not torture the stomach, but mainly tortured the tongue. Zhang Yuelu accompanied him to eat a lot, and Qi Xuansu suspected that Zhang Yuelu had damaged his taste buds by drinking, but he was fine.

After the meal, Qi Xuansu took the initiative to talk to Zhang Yuelu about this trip to the Nether Valley.

In fact, Zhang Yuelu knew that Qi Xuansu must have something wrong with his sudden return, but she also keenly sensed that Qi Xuansu was hiding something. She didn't ask proactively. She thought Qi Xuansu would say it when he wanted to, so she cooked a meal as usual. Zhang Yuelu was not heartless. She knew Qi Xuansu couldn't eat it, so she did it on purpose.

After all, the person who knows you best is the one beside you. Zhang Yuelu's move really made Qi Xuansu relax.

He also took the initiative to talk to Zhang Yuelu about what he saw, heard, felt, and did during this trip.

However, Qi Xuansu had lost some of his memories at this time, and didn't remember that he had met Yao Pei, so there was no way to talk about this.

Zhang Yuelu was also shocked after hearing this.

The truth about the Yao family turned out to be like this.

To be fair, Zhang Yuelu had a good impression of the geomancer. When she was living a miserable life in Beichen Hall, her uncle didn't love her and her grandmother didn't love her. It was the geomancer who recognized her. This favor of knowing and meeting her should not be forgotten, but who would have thought that the geomancer would have such a side, and everything was in her calculations.

This is really scary.

Zhang Yuelu asked, "What are you going to do?"

Qi Xuansu said, "I plan to meet the Grand Master tomorrow to discuss in detail the matter of becoming an immortal. As for the family matters, I'll leave you with all the hard work."

Zhang Yuelu said seriously, "We are a family. There is no such thing as hard work or not."

Qi Xuansu held Zhang Yuelu's hand and said, "Okay, then you don't need to thank me. You should do more work if you are capable."

Early the next morning, Qi Xuansu set out for Zixiao Palace to meet the Grand Master.

If it were someone else, of course they would have to apply in advance and wait in line, but Qi Xuansu was different. He didn't have to follow this rule. Gong Jiaojun would report directly to the Grand Master. If the Grand Master had nothing to do, he would generally not refuse Qi Xuansu's request to see him.

This time, Qi Xuansu met the Grand Master as he wished.

The master and his apprentice dismissed the others and talked in secret for a long time.

Then the Grand Master lent his old mansion to Qi Xuansu.

According to the Confucian school, this is the hidden residence. Even if the Grand Master does not live here anymore, he will not dispose of it casually.

The Grand Master lent this mansion to Qi Xuansu, not to Qi Xuansu, but mainly for him to retreat. After all, Taishangfang is located in Yujing, which is not so appropriate, while the Grand Master's hidden residence is located in Xuandu, where the defense is more stringent.

As for why he did not retreat directly in Zixiao Palace, it was mainly because of the noise.

Qi Xuansu wanted to be promoted quietly this time. After the success, he would not publicize it to the outside world, not create momentum, and try to keep a low profile. He still claimed to be a pseudo-immortal.

The Grand Master's mansion may not be as famous as the Princess's Mansion, but all specifications are high, especially in terms of formation, which is already top-notch.

Then Qi Xuansu chose to let He Luoshen protect him.

The safety should be foolproof.

What Qi Xuansu has to worry about is the small transformation after becoming an immortal. Chen Shuhua failed because of this weak period and eventually went to the end of the road.

Fortunately, Qi Xuansu still has the Grand Master behind him, so he doesn't have to worry too much.

Gong Jiaojun led Qi Xuansu to the residence, explained various mysteries and precautions, and asked: "Tianyuan, is there anything you don't understand?"

Qi Xuansu said: "Everything is clear, thank you Gong Fuli."

Gong Jiaojun left. He is now the secretary of the Grand Master, with a higher status, greater power, and naturally busier.

After Gong Jiaojun left, He Luoshen appeared beside Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu took a deep breath: "I'll leave it to you this time, Jiu Niang."

He Luoshen said confidently: "Leave it to me."

Qi Xuansu turned and walked towards the retreat.

The formation of the residence was activated, blocking all perceptions.

He Luoshen directly manifested his original body He Luoyu, soared up, circled the residence, and swam slowly.

There is another world in the residence.

Qi Xuansu passed through one door after another, layer upon layer, as if there was no end.

Every time Qi Xuansu passed through a portal, a corresponding formation would be opened.

When Qi Xuansu passed through nine portals, nine formations would rise, stacked one on top of the other, interlocking, and nine small formations together formed a large formation.

In the center, there was nothing else but a yin-yang platform, surrounded by the innate eight trigrams.

Qi Xuansu climbed onto the platform, sat cross-legged, and then took out three things, two pieces of "Xuanyu" and "Lingshan Luoshu".

This time was different from the past. Qi Xuansu wanted to absorb two pieces of "Xuanyu" in one breath, take two steps at a time, and strive to achieve enlightenment in one step.
