Pawn Crossing the River

Sun Hewu threw the fragment to Qi Xuansu: "You take good care of your injuries. I should prepare to draft the official letter. Speaking of which, I am also unlucky. In less than two months after taking charge of the Dao Palace, I encountered such a good thing that has not happened in a century. 'It doesn't matter if you don't say it, it doesn't matter if you don't say it."

Sun Hewu looked at the half-collapsed observatory again and sighed, "It still needs to be repaired."

After saying that, the old man rose into the air and headed towards the Mingtang.

Only Yao Pei and Qi Xuansu were left.

Yao Pei glanced at the "Xuan Jade" fragment in Qi Xuansu's hand and said, "Finally, your wish came true."

Qi Xuansu felt the surging divine power in the fragment: "The gods are watching."

Yao Pei asked: "Do you want me to take you back?"

Qi Xuansu said: "I finally came to the lower palace for a visit. I want to leave later."

Yao Pei disagreed and said: "There are still a few fish that slipped through the net in the lower palace. I don't worry about you wandering around the lower palace by yourself. If you are taken advantage of by someone to assassinate you, I really don't know how to tell Qiniang and fellow Taoist Qingxiao. Explain.”

Normally, Qi Xuansu would not be afraid of anything, but Qi Xuansu was seriously injured at this time, so it was really possible.

Qi Xuansu suggested: "How about you accompany me for a walk in the lower palace?"

Yao Pei hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give you an hour."

Qi Xuansu sighed: "She is my niece after all, I know I feel sorry for her..."

Just as he was mid-sentence, Qi Xuansu was stabbed in the forehead by a flying knife. The tip of the knife only hurt the skin, but it kept the balance of the flying knife and did not fall down. He held it just right.

Qi Xuansu pulled out the throwing knife and received it in his Xumiwu. He planned to sell it when he went to the black market next time and use it as money for the soup and medicine. Or make a set and keep it for yourself.

There is no way, people are poor but have short ambitions, and horses are skinny and have long hair.

Yao Pei just raised his eyebrows but didn't say much.

The two of them walked in the lower palace in the dead of night. Because Sun Hewu had just issued a strict order, there was no one else except the patrolling and guarding spiritual officers.

Qi Xuansu took Yao Pei around like a quick tour of the place where he studied and lived, especially the small house where he lived for more than ten years. However, it now has a new owner, and every time he welcomes a new resident When guests come here, the Dao Palace will be renovated and it has already changed its appearance.

Qi Xuansu sighed. He originally wanted to meet the assistant teacher who was responsible for taking care of their daily life, but now that the atmosphere was so tense, he had no choice but to give up.

Soon, Qi Xuansu came to the venue where the Dragon and Tiger War was held. To be precise, it was a semi-open cave. Its body was a huge sand table with a radius of about a hundred feet, with various mountains and terrains, jungle houses, rivers and lakes inside. It's lifelike.

If you look at it from the outside, the people inside are like ants, just small black dots. But if you walk towards the disk, you are just looking at the mountain to death. You will only feel that the disk is getting bigger and bigger, and you are getting bigger and bigger. Small, after actually walking to the round plate, the so-called sand table is no different from the real mountains, rivers and lakes.

At this time, there was no one in the disk, just like an ordinary sand table.

Qi Xuansu just watched from a distance, filled with emotion.

Yao Pei stood next to Qi Xuansu and said, "Did you almost die here?"

Qi Xuansu said calmly: "Yao Dao is friendly and well-informed."

"Anyway, Pan Cuiqing can be regarded as a figure in Quanzhen Tao. Even if he is not as good as Qi Jianyuan, he is not too far behind and can be regarded as a comparable figure. If something happened to him, of course I would investigate it. Then I found out about Wan Xiu Wu and Yue Liuli also know about the grudge between you." Yao Pei gave an explanation.

Qi Xuansu said nothing.

Yao Pei continued: "I didn't expect that Zhang Qingxiao could do this for you. If it were me, I would never let such a thing get into my hands. This will leave something to talk about, maybe something Sometimes, others will attack Zhang Qingxiao."

Qi Xuansu's eyes softened and he said softly: "That's why I cherish Qingxiao very much."

Yao Pei changed the subject: "But having said that, you are indeed worthy of what Zhang Qingxiao did."

Qi Xuansu sighed again and clenched the "Xuanyu" in his hand: "The past is gone, it's time to look forward."

Yao Pei put his hands behind his back: "It's best if you think so."

The news about Zhang Wuhen was quickly sent to the desk of the great master of the Wanxiang Dao Palace. What the great master of Pingzhang thought was unknown to outsiders. It was just that after discussing with Sun Hewu in the distance, he decided to immediately Report to Jinque.

First, Qi Jianyuan died unexpectedly in the Wanxiang Taoist Palace, and then Zhang Wuhen, the sister of the Heavenly Master Zhang Wushou, came back to life. It is difficult not to connect these two things together.

So this matter caused a wave of waves in Jinque.

But it was just a wave.

Qi Jianyuan's death involved Pei Muyu, and Quanzhen Taoism did not want the family scandal to be publicized. Zhang Wuhen even had a scar that was dealt with by the Heavenly Master himself. It caused a stir in the city. Even if Zhang Wuhen is no longer a member of the Taoist sect, Zhang Guyan is still a member of the Taoist sect, and he is still upright. The children of the Zhang family, no matter what, it is impossible for the Zhang family and Zhengyi to stay out of the matter.

What's rare this time is that Taiping Dao was not involved. It was supposed to be Taiping Dao's attack on Zhengyi and Quanzhen Dao, or Taiping Dao's joke on the two Dao. However, the second major Jiangnan case had just passed by less than two months. Month, the aftermath has not subsided, Taiping Road itself is also covered in mud. Before this, it has been on the defensive. Now it is just a breath of relief, far from the time to counterattack.

As a result, the bottom of the three paths is not clean. As a relatively neutral lineage of the Grand Master, the Wanxiang Dao Palace is also suspected of dereliction of duty and it is difficult for the Grand Master's lineage to make use of the topic.

With the tacit understanding of all parties, these two things were naturally raised high and then gently put down. Big things were reduced to small things, and small things were reduced to small things.

Who will investigate? Who can get to the bottom of it?

That is to be enemies with most of the Taoist sects.

Although the conflicts between the three Taoists are becoming more and more intense, it is undeniable that there is still consensus and common interests among the three Taoists on quite a few matters. This is why they can fight without breaking up. However, as the struggle between the three realms intensifies, these consensuses and common interests are constantly breaking down and disappearing. Sooner or later, the three realms will have a battle, and they will change from allies who jointly competed against the five generations of masters to enemies facing each other with swords.

In this matter, it was Yao Pei who stole the show.

Because she not only completed Qi Jianyuan's unfinished business, but also discovered Zhang Guyan's plan immediately.

As for Qi Xuansu, he was completely obscured by Yao Pei's light.

Just like during the second major Jiangnan case, Zhang Yuelu was the one who stole the show, while Qi Xuansu was just a foil.

However, no matter how low-key Qi Xuansu is, he will inevitably be noticed by others. In the eyes of many people, not to mention this kid's ability, it is already very impressive to have friendships with Zhang Yuelu and Yao Pei at the same time. In addition, there is also Qi Jianyuan involved in this matter, and it is inevitable to repeat the same old story and speculate about the relationship between Qi Xuansu and the Qi family.

But I really can't say that this guess is wrong. Because of Qi Haoran's relationship, Qi Xuansu does have some relationship with the Qi family, but it's hard to say whether this relationship is good or bad.

As a result, the three young talents all shone one after another. Although Zhang Yuelu took the lead and was the first to be promoted to the third rank of Youyi Taoist Priest, the other two also had great potential and no one was sure of victory.

In a hidden palace, a young woman is praying to a female statue.

A wordless book was placed in front of her.

At this moment, a wind blew, causing the wordless book to rattle, and black writing gradually appeared on the originally blank paper.

The woman who was praying suddenly opened her eyes and stared at the wordless book that was no longer wordless.

This is an oracle.

Different from various oracles that were vague and contained only a few words, this time the oracle was actually a long paragraph of text.

"Many years ago, Zhang Wuhen sneaked into the Kunlun Cave and stole the inheritance left by True Lord Taiyin in the human world. However, the matter was quickly exposed. After consultations with Dao Sect Jinque, it was decided that Zhang Wushou would handle the matter personally. In the end, after suppressing the demon, On the stage, Zhang Wushou personally killed Zhang Wuhen, but for various reasons, Zhang Wushou did not kill them all. He wanted to compensate his nephew Zhang Guyan, but Zhang Guyan refused to reconcile with his uncle and was hostile to most of the family members. , thinking they killed their mother.”

"Under the persuasion of his cousins, Zhang Wushou decided to banish Zhang Guyan in disguise, which gave Ziguang Society an opportunity. With the natural connection of blood, they successfully found Zhang Guyan and successfully persuaded Zhang Guyan to join Ziguang society."

"It's just that Ziguang Society didn't expect that Zhang Wushou couldn't control Zhang Guyan, and they couldn't control Zhang Guyan either. With the help of Ziguang Society, Zhang Guyan stole the divine power from the bottom of Xingye Lake, activated the 'Life Box', and resurrected Zhang Wuhen ”

"Zhang Wuhen successfully escaped from the Wanxiang Taoist Palace. Her first priority is not to take revenge on Zhang Wushou, but to hide, hibernate, and seek a higher realm of gods while recovering to her peak."

"Although Zhang Wuhen is already a pseudo-immortal, it is still very difficult to establish a divine kingdom and ignite the divine fire. This requires a huge amount of incense and willpower. She is no longer a member of the Taoist sect and cannot obtain the incense and willpower from the Taoist sect, so she must Take the path of association.”

"Zhang Wuhen is unwilling to join Lingshan Witch Cult, Zhiming Cult or Ziguang Society, nor to become a disciple of Buddhism. However, she has another option, which is to re-establish the Taoism of Taiyin Zhenjun through Zhenjun Taiyin's inheritance. That is the Xuanyin Sect.”

"Although when True Lord Taiyin submitted to the Taoist sect, most of the Xuanyin sect members also became members of the Taoist sect, but there are still a small number of Xuanyin sect members who are wandering around. They are unwilling to submit to the Taoist sect, and Zhang Wuhen will become a member of the Taoist sect. Their new leader."

"Find Zhang Wuhen, show your sincerity, help her, and promote an alliance."
