Pawn Crossing the River

Entering this room, you can see how high it is. Looking up, you can't see the dome. Below are layers of clouds, the bottom of which is also invisible. In the middle of the palace is a seven-story high platform. The height of each floor is about the same as an ordinary step. The diameter of the base is about seven feet, and each floor decreases. The highest floor is only about a foot in size. Surrounded by seventeen futons on three sides of the high platform, the heights are staggered. In addition, there is a futon above the high platform, which corresponds to the number of the eighteenth floor. Behind the high platform is a huge statue of Taishang Daozu.

Qi Xuansu felt a little familiar.

Then he remembered that the layout of this place was very similar to the general auditorium layout of Daomen, and the layout of Daomen's auditorium was modeled after Jinque.

Qiniang said softly: "Listen carefully."

Qi Xuansu was startled for a moment, and then heard whispers from around him.

Different from the whispers he heard in strange dreams, these whispers were not noisy, they were very calm, and they were speaking in an orderly manner, as if they were debates or discussions.

Yes, it’s a discussion.

Immediately afterwards, Qi Xuansu saw illusory figures appearing out of thin air on the futon, sitting cross-legged.

These people were both male and female, and their faces could not be seen clearly.

Qi Xuansu looked at the seven-story high platform again. If it was in Jinque, then this position would belong to the Grand Master, but there was no seven-story high platform in Jinque. At this time, many small light points appeared on the seventh-floor high platform, and then connected the points into lines. These lines gradually outlined a figure. _o_

No matter how he looked, Qi Xuansu couldn't see clearly the appearance of this figure. He couldn't help but look at Qiniang and asked, "Who are these people?"

Qiniang replied: "The person sitting on the main seat is named Li. No one has called him by his first name for many years. I don't want to break this rule. Everyone calls him 'Xuan Sheng'."

Qi Xuansu was suddenly startled.

Although he had some vague guesses, he still felt a little shocked when he heard Qiniang confirm it herself.

Qiniang continued: "But at that time, he could not be called "Xuansheng". Most people in the world called him "Mr. Qingping."

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but be shocked: "The Qingping Association was established by Xuan Sheng?"

Qiniang did not answer, but continued to introduce other figures.

""Qing Ping Diao" Zhou Shuning."

""Linjiang Immortal" Zhang Haishi."

""The sword is near" Li Feiyan."

""Golden Staggered Knife" Qin Su."

""Jade Butterfly" Han Yue."

""Shaking Tingqiu" Master Yuying."

""Drunk Taiping" Ning Yi."

""Ru Meng Ling" Shi Wuyue."

""The Green Jade Case" Li Rushi."

""Huanxisha" palace official."

""Buddha's Colorful Clothes" Su Yunmei."

""Fortune Operator" Lu Shiying."

"The Hairpin-headed Phoenix Bai Meiniang."

""The Crown Prince" Lan Xuanshuang."

""The Way Comes Home" Yan Feiqing."

""Defending the Storm" Zhang Luanshan."

""Poppy" Shangguan Wan."

""Mountain Ghost Ballad", Yu Qingning."

These names are extremely familiar to Qi Xuansu.

Because these people are all the founders of the Taoist resurgence, such as "Ding Fengbo" Zhang Luanshan and "Daochenggui" Yan Feiqing, they are brothers, and they have served as the deputy head master of Zhengyi Daozhen. "Buddha's Colorful Clothes" Su Yunmei is the founder of Cihang's lineage. "Poppy Lady" Shangguan Wan is the first deputy headmaster of Quanzhen Taoism, Dazhenren. "Drunk Taiping" Ning Yi is the first master of the Wanxiang Taoist Palace.

Then there are "Rumeng Ling" Shi Wuyue, "Qingyu Case" Li Rushi, "Swordsman" Li Feiyan and others. Just from their surnames, it can be seen that these people are the ancestors of some aristocratic families. For example, Shi Wuyue is the ancestor of Qi Xuansu's immediate boss, Shi Bingyun.

Not to mention Qin Su, the "Golden Mistake Sword", who was the first deputy headmaster of Taiping Dao, the first wife of the headmaster, and the eldest daughter of Emperor Taixuan Gaozu.

The rest of them were among the thirty-six masters of the first generation, and were later enshrined in the Taoist ancestral temple under the name of the great master.

Even if you are not that familiar with the history of Taoism, as long as you have played "Xuansheng Card", you will be familiar with these names.

Chapter 41 Past and Present Life

Neither Qi Xuansu nor Li Qingnu could speak for a moment.

Qiniang said slowly: "This is the earliest member of the Qingping Association. At that time, the Qingping Association did not have four levels: A, B, C, and D. There were only two levels. The first-level leader, also called the convener, There was only one second-class ordinary member. At that time, the Qingping Association did not have as many people as it does now. The above are all its members. At that time, the Qingping Association had only one purpose, to integrate the Taoist sect, end the rule of the Confucian sect, and overthrow the Wei Dynasty. Xuansheng called it: "Once the Qing Dynasty comes, the world will be at peace," hence the name "Qing Ping."

Qi Xuansu was silent for a long time.

The former Qingping Society can be called the "Jinque Conference". It was basically the core team of Xuansheng and the prototype of the future Taoist Jinque. @Essence\\/Shuge·No mistake first release~~

Qi Xuansu also noticed that even the early members used Cipai names as code names, which was no different from now. In other words, the Qingping Society at that time was also a secret society.

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but sigh. At that time, so many famous names could only act secretly and connect secretly. It is conceivable that the Confucian sect in those days was not as declining as it is today, but was like the Taoist sect today, which was truly authentic. The common master of the world. Then the rumors of burning the palace and letting the emperor fall into the water became very credible.

But Qi Xuansu soon had another question.

There is no doubt that the Qingping Society headed by Xuan Sheng succeeded in integrating Taoism and replacing Confucianism, and also succeeded in overthrowing the Wei Dynasty and establishing the Da Xuan Dynasty. Then the Qing Ping Society should be disbanded. After all, Xuansheng and the patriarchs have already With Jinque, we can discuss matters openly and openly in Jinque, instead of hiding in Qingpinghui to discuss secretly. The mission of Qingpinghui has ended, and there is no need to exist.

Who retained the Qingpinghui? And pass it on?

Considering the close relationship between the Qingping Society and Quanzhen Taoism, Qi Xuansu guessed that it was a certain Quanzhen Taoist founder who was a member of the Qingping Society.

For example, Shangguan Wan, the "poppy beauty" who serves as the deputy headmaster of Quanzhen Taoism, or Lan Xuanshuang, the "female crown prince".

Qiniang seemed to see Qi Xuansu's doubts and took the initiative to explain: "During the time when Xuan Sheng was alive, the Qingping Society had indeed been disbanded. The three words "Qingping Society" were just a past event in a pile of old papers, without any substance. Meaning. It was not until Xuan Sheng passed away that someone re-established the Qing Ping Society. It was mainly because the "Inn" broke the rules."

""Inn"?" Qi Xuansu was a little confused.

Qiniang said: "The original name of the "Inn" is "Taiping Inn". It has the same name as the Taiping Inn, the Taoist property. It is essentially a cover. The "Inn" was also established by Xuan Sheng, and the top management are called "Dongjia". ", "shopkeeper", "waiter", "cook", "handyman" and "accounting room" all have different responsibilities. In the beginning, all the senior management of the "inn" were held by members of the Qingpinghui, so the "inn" "It's actually a peripheral organization of the Qingping Society."

Qi Xuansu became more and more shocked and suddenly remembered something.

Once, when he was chatting with Zhang Yuelu, he talked about "inn" because of a storybook called "The Legend of Taiping Inn".

From this, Zhang Yuelu talked about her master Cihang. It is said that Cihang really likes to study unfounded histories. The more bizarre they are, the more interested they are. Then based on these unofficial histories, bold speculations were made, so the Celestial Master often said that Cihang was fabricating history.

According to Cihang's inference, after Xuansheng became the Grand Master, most of the senior officials in the "Taiping Inn" also became Da Zhenren and Zhenren. Therefore, Xuansheng should have disbanded the "Taiping Inn" and dispersed most of its members. When it comes to Tiangang Hall and Beichen Hall, some members are unwilling to accept this result, because when Xuan Sheng established the "Taiping Inn", he attracted a large number of people from the world of martial arts. , so he left the Taoist sect and entered the world.

On the other side, the Wandu Sect was also disbanded by Emperor Gaozu and replaced the Qingluan Guards of the previous dynasty as the new Qingluan Guards. However, some members were unwilling to accept this result, so they left the Wandu Sect and continued to stay in the world. . These two groups of people later merged together and established today's "inn". Then it makes sense that the "Inn" and Qingluan Wei are inextricably linked, because the two families have worked together and are basically a family.

Now it seems that Master Cihang's speculation is not wrong and is very close to the truth. Qi Xuansu even had a guess. (This chapter is not finished yet!)

Chapter 41 Past and Present Life

, the founder of Cihang's lineage is also a member of the Qingping Society. It is impossible that Cihang knows nothing about the Qingping Society. Maybe she already knows the truth, and for some reason, she did not tell Zhang Yuelu clearly, so she just pretended to be a "guess." . After all, Zhang Yuelu at that time had not yet been confirmed as a direct descendant. He was not a small master, but just one of many disciples.

Qiniang continued: "The clerks of "Taiping Inn" are divided into four levels, namely Tian, ​​Di, Xuan and Huang. Later, the Qingping Society was rebuilt. Without the peripheral organization of "Inn", they recruited their own members, so there was Jia. , B, C, D, etc., and there is a Privy Council. In essence, the Privy Council is equivalent to the Qingping Council in the past, and it is the core. @The current Qingping Council is equivalent to the "Taiping Council" in the past. Inn" is the periphery."

Qi Xuansu gradually figured out the whole story.

"Taiping Inn" and Qingping Hui are integrated. Qingping Club is the core of "Taiping Inn" and "Taiping Inn" is the periphery of Qingping Hui. They were both established by Xuansheng and later disbanded by Xuansheng.

Before Xuan Sheng passed away, someone had already rebuilt the "Taiping Inn". Because they were afraid of arousing Xuan Sheng's taboo, they removed the word "Taiping" and just called it "The Inn", and the word "Qing Ping Hui" was also missing from the title. , has a close relationship with Qingluan Guard.

After Xuan Sheng passed away, someone was inspired by the "Inn" and rebuilt the "Qing Ping Hui".

But by this time, neither the "inn" nor the Qingping Club were the original Qingping Club and "inn".

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but ask: "They say it was Xuansheng who revitalized the Taoist sect, so who "revived" the Qingping Society?"

Qiniang said: "He is the third generation earth master.".
