Pawn Crossing the River

There is no doubt that these words have a rather sinister meaning, but when it comes from Yao Pei's mouth, it is difficult to detect any hint of sarcasm in her expression or tone.

Zhang Yuelu said: "I don't dare to take it seriously."

"Deserve it." Yao Pei smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes. "Recently there have been rumors outside that Zhengyiyi and Quanzhen Taoism have reached an agreement to elect the Grand Master this term. , Zhengyiyi fully supports Quanzhen Dao's successor Donghua, and when the next election is held, Quanzhen Dao reciprocates and fully supports Zhengyi Dao's successor to take over. . Because of this, the Earth Master has repeatedly recommended and promoted fellow Taoist Qingxiao, which is paving the way for the next Grand Master."

Qi Xuansu's first reaction was that Yao Pei was resentful.

This is also reasonable. My elders vigorously promoted an outsider, but this outsider was still my competitor. I became a victim of the overall situation. Whoever it was, I would not be calm.

But there was no clue at all from Yao Pei's expression, only a calmness that was different from ordinary people.

Qi Xuansu thought about it again and realized that Yao Pei's words made sense. Quanzhen Taoist Master Donghua still promoted himself to be the chief Taoist priest even though he knew that he was closely related to Zhang Yuelu. Moreover, this time the Jinque meeting was held, the Earth Master was present. While continuing to recommend and promote Zhang Yuelu, he also brought him along. After all, he was helping Zhang Yuelu train his helpers and confidants. If Yao Pei's statement is true, does this count as Quanzhen Tao fulfilling its promise and expressing its sincerity to Zhengyi?

But even if it is true, it does not mean that Yao Pei is useless to Quanzhen Tao, because Quanzhen Tao still has the position of earth master. The contemporary earth master is approaching a hundred years old. If he does not plan to take risks to survive the disaster, Now, there is not much time left in the human world. Master Donghua is also past his sixtieth year. Regardless of whether he can become the seventh-generation master, he must consider the issue of his inheritance a hundred years from now. And Yao Pei is less than thirty years old, even a few years younger than Qi Xuansu. Even if he can't be a great master, he can still be a great master of Quanzhen Taoism known as "Earth Master".

There's just one thing. It's the first time Yao Pei and Zhang Yuelu have met. Is it really appropriate to directly bring up such a topic? This is no longer a casual conversation, but rather provocative and challenging.

At this moment, Yao Pei suddenly looked at Qi Xuansu and asked, "Who am I?"

Qi Xuansu was startled and replied subconsciously: "Miss Yao's surname is Yao and her name is Pei."

Yao Pei said "Oh" and said, "I am Yao Pei, we are a family."

The concept of a family is too broad. Outside of the Taoist sect, those who are both disciples of the Taoist sect are considered a family. Apart from Quanzhen Tao, those who are both Quanzhen Tao disciples can also be considered a family.

Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu looked at each other, but neither of them answered.

Who knows what this woman wants to express?

Qi Xuansu even thought more deeply. These Taoist masters indeed all have quirks. If it were regarded as a disease, then Li, Yao, and Zhang would all be seriously ill.

Although Zhang Yuelu was very talkative when getting along with Qi Xuansu, in the eyes of others, Zhang Yuelu taught Li Tianzhen, one of the top nobles in the Taoist sect, and broke Xu Kou's wrist, almost breaking Yuan Shangdao's neck, and punished Bai Yuru, etc. There are countless such things, but they all have nothing to do with the word "easy to get along with" and are even a bit overbearing.

But she is not just domineering, and she is very kind to some people. For example, Qi Xuansu and Mu Jin are not powerful people. It doesn't matter what they want. They are probably just compatibility and temper, or they are willing to treat her sincerely. It is because her standards are very Erraticness is never determined by status, so many people say that she is a loner, which is a clear "disease".

Yao Pei is secretly "sick". He looks like a normal person, but in fact he is terminally ill. He doesn't know when he will be stunned. Just like now, the conversation was very normal at the beginning, but gradually it became a little abnormal. Qi Xuansu couldn't understand what she wanted. He had heard of a kind of patient who seemed to have nothing wrong with him one moment, talking and laughing as usual, and then stabbed someone to death the next moment. It was as if he had changed into a different person, but the key person involved did not feel anything was wrong at all.

In his opinion, Yao Pei meant something like this.

So how will Li Changge, who ranks highest among the three, "get sick"? Are you looking at the sky and not bowing your head all the way? Or does it appear to be a breath of fresh air but actually the heart, liver, intestines and lungs are black? Or is it the best of both Zhang Yuelu and Yao Pei?

Just as Qi Xuansu was thinking about all this, Yao Pei looked up at the sky and continued: "The most trustworthy thing in the world is a family, and the least trustworthy thing is a family. Just now, I gave it to myself. Yi Gua, if I die, I will not die in the hands of outsiders, but in the hands of my own family."

Qi Xuansu laughed dryly and cursed in his heart: "Why don't you just say you will die in my hands? What a roundabout way to go. You are really seriously ill."

"Wait a minute." Qi Xuansu suddenly thought of a possibility, "Don't you think this bitch wants to use this as an excuse to kill me? Why don't you keep me here? Why do you want to strike first? This is bad."

Yao Pei suddenly glanced at Qi Xuansu and seemed to read what Qi Xuansu was thinking.

At this moment, Zhang Yuelu stepped forward and stood in front of Qi Xuansu, blocking Yao Pei's sight.

"He has a clear mind." Yao Pei murmured, "What a 'heart' scroll."

After saying that, she withdrew her gaze and no longer looked at Qi Xuansu. .

Zhang Yuelu took a deep look at Yao Pei and said, "Fellow Taoist Suyi, let's talk some other time. Let's say goodbye first."

"I won't send it away." Yao Pei cupped his hand again.

Zhang Yuelu pulled Qi Xuansu, and the two turned and left.

Yao Pei stood there with his hands behind his back and watched the two people go away.

After leaving Yao Pei's sight, Qi Xuansu couldn't help but ask: "Is this Miss Yao a little sick?"

Zhang Yuelu glanced at him: "It's the 'Tai Shang Wang Qing Jing'."

Qi Xuansu was stunned for a moment: "Is it the treasure of the Beidao Gate? Shouldn't it be in the hands of the royal family?"

Zhang Yuelu said: "It was in the hands of the royal family, but he also joined the Taoist sect along with Mrs. Xuansheng. Later, Xuansheng integrated it into the inheritance of the two immortals of heaven and earth. If you want to cultivate the magical power of 'Heavenly Calculation', you must practice it." "Tai Shang Wang Qing Jing", and "Heavenly Calculation" has been simplified into Sanren's "Innate Divine Calculation".

Qi Xuansu hesitated and said: "I have heard of the name of the 'Tai Shang Forgetting Love Sutra'. As the name suggests, does it mean that after practicing this method, you will not recognize your relatives?"

"Forgetfulness of emotion is not ruthlessness. The so-called supreme forgetfulness of emotion means that one forgets emotion and is impartial. When one is in love, one forgets emotion. He is not moved by emotions or disturbed by emotions. Heaven is most private and uses it most publically. The control of fate is Qi. The dead are born. Root, the root of life and death. Kindness is born from harm, and harm is born from kindness. All sentient beings obey orders and remain motionless. The Supreme Being forgets his feelings, and it is the love of creation that opens up the universe. Knowledge, slowly explained, "This method is like the 'Thirteen Swords of Taiyin'. It is a heretical method among the Dacheng methods. It has advantages and disadvantages."

"The fundamental purpose of the 'Tai Shang Forgetting Love Sutra' is to cultivate the mind. When I didn't practice deeply at the beginning, my emotions were much weaker, but it has the magical effect of calming the mind and concentrating my mind. Even if charm, illusion, and delusion techniques are not effective, the benefits are still greater than Disadvantages.”

"As the practice deepens, more disadvantages will gradually appear, and the harm will outweigh the benefits. As you said, practicing this method gradually begins to destroy one's feelings and nature. When the practice reaches a high level, it will not be called fireworks, even the popularity will be gone. A little bit, as deserted as a stone. However, before the cultivation of this method is complete, it is not to truly forget one's emotions, but to suppress one's temperament. Once one's emotions are broken, there will be a backlash, which can range from a drastic change in temperament to confusion, to a serious state of obsession and death. on the spot."

Qi Xuansu was speechless and said: "A demon arises from within, and a ruthless one destroys one's nature. Why are these heretical methods so dangerous?"

Zhang Yuelu continued: "The greater the risk, the greater the reward. You have already seen the power of the 'Thirteen Swords of Taiyin'. If you and I cannot suppress it in our realm, and do not rely on external objects, no one would dare to fight in the same realm." As for the "Tai Shang Wang Qing Sutra", people have seven emotions. According to Confucianism, they are joy, anger, sadness, fear, love, evil, and desire. According to Buddhism, they are joy, anger, and sorrow. , fear, love, hatred, and desire, and the seven emotions of Taoism are happiness, anger, worry, thought, sadness, fear, and surprise. No matter which way you say it, the "Tai Shang Forgetting Emotions Sutra" is to forget all these seven emotions. Without emotions such as fear, surprise, anger, sorrow, sadness, etc., no matter how dangerous the situation is, you will not be able to shake your mind, let alone the slightest hesitation. You can respond quickly and accurately. I am afraid that you, a person who has experienced hundreds of battles, will not be able to shake your mind. Slightly less than that, one’s ability can be used at 120%.”

"It is said that human calculations are not as good as heaven's calculations. This is also the mystery of the 'Tai Shang Forgetting Love Sutra'. Forgetting emotions makes people's hearts become closer to heaven's minds, and human calculations will naturally become heaven's calculations. It is said that after entering the state of 'forgetting emotions', one will forget seven Love, abandoning the six desires, seems to have separated from the identity of a human being, standing on the clouds overlooking the world below like an immortal. It is otherworldly, so it is named after the word 'Tai Shang'."

"Furthermore, the heretical methods are dangerous, but as long as you can make it to the end, you can turn the danger into good luck and make all the hardships come to a happy end. The 'Thirteen Swords of Taiyin' can subdue the inner demons and transform them into a body outside the body, and the 'Tai Shang Forgetting Sutra' can At the end of the cultivation, she can return to her original nature, and can enter and exit the state of "forgetfulness" freely. For example, Mrs. Xuansheng, various records say that she is easy-going and not cold and heartless. It is said that Donghuang was young. Whenever he makes a mistake, he asks this sister-in-law to intercede with Xuansheng on his behalf."

After listening to this, Qi Xuansu asked: "In that case, in your opinion, what state of cultivation has this Taoist friend in Su Yi reached? Has he gone crazy?"

"Under the eyes of so many senior experts, it is so easy to go crazy." Zhang Yuelu shook his head and said, "It seems that he has reached a certain bottleneck stage, and his temperament affects his mind, so it doesn't seem normal."

"I just said she's not normal. You think there's something wrong with her, right?" Qi Xuansu said immediately.

Zhang Yuelu glanced at him and joked: "Sick or not, I'm not her classmate, so what does it have to do with me? It's you, it's better to be careful and seek happiness for yourself."
