Pawn Crossing the River

When Qi Xuansu returned to his residence, he originally wanted to contact Qiniang, but then he thought about it and realized that he was in danger now. Someone might be watching him and contact Qiniang rashly, and he might give someone a handle.

So he did not use the Zimu Talisman, but took out the "Chu Zhen Sutra Lu".

Soon, Zhang Yuelu appeared in front of Qi Xuansu.

"Chief Qi, didn't you say yesterday that you have been busy these days and should focus on handling cases? How come you have time to find me?" Zhang Yuelu joked.

Qi Xuansu smiled bitterly and said: "Something unexpected happened. I just came back from Deputy Palace Master Shi. Deputy Palace Master Shi told me that someone reported me to the Daolu Division as a member of the Lingshan Witch Cult. The Daolu Division has reported The Imperial Palace has sent a note, so I am now without an official position and can rest well."

Zhang Yuelu's face suddenly became solemn: "What happened? Who reported it?"

Qi Xuansu said: "Do you still remember the Buddhist disciple Yanxiu we met at the Yulan Temple in Yishan City? He was the one who reported it. There were three main reports. I encountered the Immortal God of Uman in the Yulan Temple, and the flying boat at the Kunlun Mountain Pass. I was lucky enough to survive the accident, and the incident with Tso Wenbu was so coincidental that it was reasonable to suspect that I had secretly rebelled and taken refuge with the ancient immortal Wuluo."

Zhang Yuelu has experienced two of these three things. As for the last one, she has not experienced it, but she is also aware of it. Before Qi Xuansu came to the Imperial Capital, Master Cihang also mentioned this matter. So Qi Xuansu didn't need to explain in detail, Zhang Yuelu had already come to a conclusion.

"This is nonsense." Zhang Yuelu said resolutely, "You have made others jealous. Someone wants to touch you."

Qi Xuansu nodded and said: "I just thought about it, and it is indeed true. How can a Buddhist and an outsider know so many details? If you think about the attitude of the real person in charge, the matter is already very clear."

Zhang Yuelu asked again: "What did Deputy Palace Master Shi say specifically?"

"Now the evidence cannot be considered conclusive, but it cannot be said to be based on suspicion. There are indeed many doubts about me, so Deputy Palace Master Shi and Palace Master Li froze. Palace Master Li wanted to let Feng Xiantang put me under house arrest first. However, Deputy Palace Master Shi strongly objected, so I just handed over the errand and cannot leave the Jade Palace. What should be done specifically, because the two are at loggerheads, so I have to report it to Jinque." Qi Xuansu replied.

Each Taoist government has branches of Tianji Hall and Huasheng Hall, and naturally there is also a branch of Fengxian Hall. It is similar to the Nanzhen Fusi of Qingluan Guard. It is responsible for handling internal affairs and is under dual leadership. It is directly under the Yujing Feng. The main hall of Xiantang also obeys the orders of the real person in charge.

As for the report to Jinque, it was not that Qi Xuansu was too heavy to handle within the Taoist government, but that the real person in charge and the second deputy master had different opinions. If the two agreed, the matter would be handled directly within the Taoist government without disturbing Jinque at all.

Zhang Yuelu fell into deep thought.

Qi Xuansu continued: "This matter is actually not complicated. I found out that Gao Mingyin was involved with the King of Liao, and then Gao Mingyin died. I was also reported as a cult demon. Obviously, someone didn't want me to continue investigating. Go down and let me calm down for a while.”

Zhang Yuelu said: "Since a cult demon is involved, Tiangang Hall has no shirking responsibility. If Jinque decides to send people from Yujing to thoroughly investigate the case, I will apply to participate."

Qi Xuansu hesitated and said: "No, logically speaking, you should avoid suspicion."

"Why should I avoid suspicion?" Zhang Yuelu asked, "You are not my brothers and sisters, and we are not from the same school. You are a Taoist priest of Quanzhen Taoism, and I am a Taoist priest of Zhengdao. Why do I need to avoid suspicion?"

Qi Xuansu coughed lightly: "We are not...that..."

"We are not Taoist lovers. Don't talk nonsense about things that don't even have a single word." Zhang Yuelu didn't understand what Qi Xuansu meant. "Since we are not Taoist lovers, there is no need to avoid suspicion. Besides, the official word is spoken in two words, and it is said straightly. It makes sense to say it the other way around. If you say it the other way around, I was once your boss and had a close relationship with you. It is indeed difficult to get involved. It can also be said to be to avoid suspicion. But if you say it the other way around, I am also Yulan Temple and Feizhou. The person who witnessed the accident is more familiar with the situation and will be of great help in clarifying the case. It also makes sense that the key is who has the final say. "

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but smile and said: "I have learned a lesson."

In just a short moment, Zhang Yuelu had already made up his mind: "I'm going to check the relevant files and make preparations in advance. You should be careful in the Imperial Capital and wait until I go to the Imperial Capital to meet you."

Although Qi Xuansu has long been accustomed to Zhang Yuelu's vigorous and resolute behavior, he still couldn't help but said: "No more chatting? I have a lot of time today."

Zhang Yuelu said with a half-smile, "Don't worry, let's talk slowly after I get to the Imperial Capital. I also want to know how many other things you have hidden from me."

Before Qi Xuansu could cry out that he was wronged, Zhang Yuelu had already cut off the contact with Jing Lu.

Qi Xuansu simply relaxed. As long as his opponent didn't use extraneous tricks and followed the rules honestly, he would have plenty of time. Even if he was really convicted of this crime, and then executed Qi Xuansu openly and openly, he would still have to punish him according to the rules. After half a year, Qi Xuansu really did not need to rush to contact Qiniang. Now he should calm down and think carefully about how to explain the "Heart of Immortality Stone".

As long as a reasonable explanation can be given, all those accusations will be dismissed.

But now it seems that it is indeed difficult. Because the "Heart of the Immortality Stone" involves Yao Qiniang, and Yao Qiniang is also involved in Qibaofang. In addition, the matter of the "Xuanyu" sent by Yaofang master of Jinling Prefecture was pulled back and forth. Even though he was cleared of the charges of Lingshan Witch Cult , but it was necessary to prove Qibaofang's crime. Although Qibaofang was a secret association with less harm, and was different from the Lingshan Witch Cult, it would not cost him his life, but it was enough to stop Qi Xuansu's future here.

With or without the help of the Taoist sect, the difference is huge. The reason why Qi Xuansu is able to make a difference in the Imperial City is mainly due to the power in his hands. Just relying on the cultivation of Tianren, a Tianchensi can suppress him.

Qi Xuansu fell back on the bed and murmured: "This invisible knife is much more powerful than the visible knife. It is really hard to guard against."

On the other side, after Zhang Yuelu interrupted the conversation with Qi Xuansu, he went to the mortgage room of the real person in charge.

She must discuss this matter with her master.

As soon as Zhang Yuelu arrived at the door of Master Zhangtang's signing room, he saw Junior Sister Xiao already waiting here.

"Senior Sister, Master is waiting for you." Junior Sister Xiao led the way, "Please follow me."

Zhang Yuelu followed Junior Sister Xiao to the inner study and met Master Cihang.

Master Cihang motioned for Zhang Yuelu to sit down, and then said straight to the point: "Qingxiao, are you here because of Tianyuan's affairs? Your Uncle Shi has already told me about the specific situation."

After Zhang Yuelu sat down, he asked, "What's Master's attitude?"

Master Cihang: "My attitude is very simple. Of course I want to clear Qi Tianyuan's name, but I can't give someone a hand. I must comply with the rules."

Zhang Yuelu looked solemn and nodded.

Master Cihang asked again: "This matter is related to Ziweitang. Do you know Master Donghua's attitude?"

Zhang Yuelu shook his head and said: "I plan to go to Ziwei Hall to see Master Donghua later."

Master Cihang said: "Pei Xuanzhi may not meet you, so leave it to me."

"Thank you, Master." Zhang Yuelu said quickly.

Qi Xuansu naturally thought of Master Donghua. In any case, he was a subordinate of Master Donghua and was seconded to the Imperial Palace by Ziweitang. He had to inform Master Donghua out of emotion and reason.

However, Qi Xuansu did not have the contact information of Donghua Zhenren.

Strictly speaking, Qi Xuansu did not have personal contact information with Donghua Zhenren and could only communicate from business to business. However, he was under semi-house arrest at this time and many things were inconvenient. This is also one of the evidences that the relationship between Qi Xuansu and Donghua Zhenren is not so close.

Just when Qi Xuansu was helpless, someone pulled the bell hanging outside the door.

Qi Xuansu got up and opened the door and found Ke Qingqing standing outside.

At this time, Qi Xuansu had already handed over his errands. Ke Qingqing and others naturally knew about Qi Xuansu's affairs, so Qi Xuansu was a little surprised: "Deacon Ke, are you okay?"

Ke Qingqing presented a mother talisman: "Master, this is what Deputy Palace Master Shi asked me to give to the Master."

Qi Xuansu took the mother talisman and felt something in his heart.

Ke Qingqing bowed again, turned and left.

Qi Xuansu closed the door and held the mother talisman, probably understanding in his heart.

He didn't have the contact information of Master Donghua, but Shi Bingyun would always have it.

Qi Xuansu hesitated for a moment and "lit" the mother talisman.

Soon, a sparkling light curtain appeared in front of Qi Xuansu like a long scroll.

Qi Xuansu had to sigh with emotion. He was worthy of being the Chief Counselor. Even the Zimu Talisman he used was extraordinary. The Zimu talisman he used in the past could only show the bust, but this Zimu talisman showed most of the signed room.

A writing desk can be seen on the other side of the light curtain, with "Peace in the World" hanging above it. A person is sitting behind the writing desk, marking official documents with a cinnabar-red pen.

It is Donghua Zhenren.

"Master Qi, Deputy Palace Master Shi has already told me about your matter." Master Donghua said without raising his head.

"Yes." Qi Xuansu stood up straight subconsciously.

Master Donghua's voice was calm but full of power: "It is always difficult to follow the right path, and it is especially difficult now. They have completely ignored the overall situation of the Taoist sect and will do anything for their own selfishness. Just yesterday, before your incident happened, I Received news that there are frequent movements on the Five Elements Mountain outside the Imperial City. Although the Northern Dragon has weakened, it has not yet died. It is still very important and affects the general trend of the world. The Imperial Capital is the dragon's eye, and the Five Elements Mountain is the reverse scale. They want to be on the Five Elements Mountain. What to do? If it accelerates the demise of Beilong and causes the end of the law to come earlier, who can take this responsibility? At this time, the Imperial Palace becomes particularly important, and your position is even more important. The essential."

Qi Xuansu was shocked when he heard what Master Donghua said.

What is the early arrival of the end of the Dharma? Who are they?

However, Master Donghua had no intention of explaining, and said: "I only want to ask you one thing. Are you innocent?"

Although he was tens of thousands of miles away, Qi Xuansu still felt great pressure. Even though Master Donghua didn't look at him at all, he seemed to have penetrated his heart.

Qi Xuansu tried his best to hold up his chest: "The Supreme Taoist, I swear to Xuan Sheng that I am innocent in this matter."

"Very good." Master Donghua stopped the ink pen in his hand and looked up at Qi Xuansu, "Since you are innocent, don't worry or be afraid. Jinque will give you a clear answer, and then you should focus your energy on the Imperial Capital. If necessary, you can report any changes inside or outside directly to me.”

Qi Xuansu responded loudly: "Yes."
