Pawn Crossing the River

Qi Xuansu stood in front of the Western-style floor-to-ceiling window with his hands behind his hands, looking out at the Penglai Pool.

Shen Yuxi, Wan Xiuwu, Yue Liuli, Zhao Fuan, and Yanxiu all got the fate they deserved.

Qi Xuansu finally got his wish, but he didn't know why, and he couldn't say how happy he was. He was a little calm.

A gentleman's revenge is never too late. After ten years, my mood is completely different.

Zhang Yuelu came behind Qi Xuansu and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Qi Xuansu pointed out the window with his chin: "Deputy Vice-Chairman Li is going to the Jade Palace, and Lord Yun is following him."

Zhang Yuelu was not surprised: "Although we have always said that Taiping Dao joined forces with the imperial court to lure wolves into the house, it is undeniable that Taiping Dao has deeply penetrated the imperial court. Among the Taoist people who serve as officials, Taiping Dao accounts for most of them, whether it is Qingluan Guards, Many people in the Tianchen Division, as well as the three major naval forces, and Taiping Dao are under dual leadership. They are officials of the imperial court and vassals of the Li family secretly, or even simply Li. A member of the family. A dignified young master, his words carry more weight than mine."

Qi Xuansu asked: "What do you think of this little national master?"

Zhang Yuelu said: "If Li Tianzhen is Donghuang, then Li Changge is Xuansheng. Of course, Li Tianzhen cannot compare to Donghuang, and Li Changge cannot compare to Xuansheng."

Qi Xuansu clicked his tongue and said, "Look at the family surnamed Li. The three generations have been passed down in an orderly manner, and the division of labor is clear, with one master and one assistant. Look at your family surnamed Zhang. They are still a mess."

Zhang Yuelu said nothing.

This is a fact. She is not a saint, so she is inevitably a little resentful towards her family's lack of support. They are both surnamed Zhang, and they are both of the bloodline of the Ancestral Master, and they have to distinguish between superior and inferior. On the other hand, in the Li family, the adopted son-in-law can also be in power.

Watching the boat sailing away, Qi Xuansu asked, "What should we do next?"

"The key is what the Li family and the imperial court are planning. Over there at Wuxing Mountain..." Zhang Yuelu did not hide his worries.

Qi Xuansu said: "According to logic, the Five Elements Mountain is also within the jurisdiction of the Imperial Palace, and it is related to the safety of Beilong. The Imperial Palace went in to investigate carefully. It is reasonable and reasonable, and Li Ruoshui cannot stop it. But after Li Changge came, , although he seems to have done nothing, I always feel that the situation has become complicated.”

"Your feeling is correct." Zhang Yuelu's eyes were deep, "Are Li Ruoshui and Yun Luo the same person? Are Li Tianzhen and Li Tianyue the same person? No. They represent different forces and have different interests. Although they live in Taiping, They were all under the command of Dao. Before that, they not only acted on their own, but also refused to give in to each other, and were even vaguely hostile. For example, when Gao Mingyin was in trouble, there were people who helped and others who watched from the other side and watched the jokes, so it was easy to defeat them one by one. "

"But after Li Changge came, they were all on the same team. Li Changge played the role of overall coordination and central dispatch. Because except for the national preceptor and Qingwei Zhenren, only Li Changge could subdue the various princes within the Li family, not that Li Changge's It depends on his level of cultivation, but what he can expect in the future. Depending on the strength of Taiping Dao, Li Changge will be the national master sooner or later. No one wants to be settled by the Queen of Autumn, but is willing to bet in advance and try to follow the dragon's merits. Naturally, listen He ordered. So you are right to think that the situation has become complicated." Qi Xuansu suddenly said: "So, the superiors sent you and Yao Pei here to play a similar role?"

Zhang Yuelu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I hope so. I am not taken seriously in the Zhang family, and I am even slightly marginalized. It is true that Yao Suyi is valued in the Yao family, but the influence of the Yao family in Quanzhen Tao cannot be the same as that of the Li family in Taiping Tao." It would be a blessing if the two of us combined could equal Li Changge.”

Qi Xuansu said: "That's not necessarily the case. In any case, you are the convener of the five-person group. This is your advantage. You are like the puppet emperor, and Li Changge is like the powerful minister. In any case, you hold the right to do so. When the critical moment comes, you can still use Jinque’s name to suppress others.”

Zhang Yuelu smiled and didn't take it seriously.

In this aspect, she is still better than Qi Xuansu. What Qi Xuansu can think of, she can naturally think of.

Zhang Yuelu turned to say: "Recently, I have focused all my energy on Qian Xiangyun. After all, he is a deputy palace master and cannot be careless. If you have nothing to do, you can get closer to Prince Jin and rely on him to contain him. King of Liao."

Qi Xuansu said casually: "You still need me to get close? Master Shi can handle things properly by himself, and we can't get any closer."

Then he was lightly kicked from behind by Zhang Yuelu.

"It's nonsense, and you don't know what to say." Zhang Yuelu reprimanded in a low voice, "It's okay to say this in front of me. If it reaches Uncle Shi's ears, aren't you afraid that she will cause trouble for you?"

Qi Xuansu also knew that what he said was inappropriate. He said it as if Shi Bingyun was betraying his appearance, but he still said: "Master Shi is too generous to be as knowledgeable as me."

Zhang Yuelu smiled and said: "That's not necessarily true. Master said that my uncle has always held grudges."

Qi Xuansu sighed: "It is better for the county magistrate to take charge now. Speaking of which, Master Shi is still my immediate boss. These words must not reach her ears."

Zhang Yuelu said: "And King Jin, don't underestimate him. Although he is not a fake immortal, the legend says that he has the cultivation level of the creation stage. In my opinion, it is true. Otherwise, you think that anyone can surrender." Is this my uncle?"

Qi Xuansu was surprised: "I didn't see the slightest bit of it, I just thought he was an ordinary prince."

"Actually, there is nothing surprising. The predecessor of the Daxuan royal family was the Beidaomen, which is as famous as Zhengyidao, Taipingdao and Quanzhendao. Immortals were also produced. What's so strange about the clan members having extremely high cultivation levels?" Zhang Yuelu was not surprised. "Don't talk about others, isn't that Qin Lingge born in a clan? Although he lost to Li Changge at the Three Religions Conference, his defeat was not ugly, and it could even be regarded as a serious defeat. Looking at the Daodao Sect, how many Li Changges are there? It can be seen from this that, The strength of the royal family cannot be underestimated.”

"By the way, I also heard that the system for inheriting titles within the royal family is very strict. In addition to the principle of downgrading to inherit titles, there is also an assessment every three years. Just like the examination method for officials, it includes three The major items are merit, cultivation, and miscellaneous items. Merit is similar to the merit system of our Taoist sect. Cultivation refers to realm cultivation. Only those who have become gods can get full marks for this item. Miscellaneous items include these two major items. The last three assessments are comprehensively scored, with a full score of ten, nine points is excellent, eight points is good, six points or more is passing, and six or less is failing. Accumulating three perfect scores can be promoted to the first level of title, to prince. Until then, those who excel will be rewarded, good will not be punished, those who pass will be fined, and those who fail will be demoted to a first-class title in advance. If they are uneducated and have no skills, they will be reduced to a commoner before their son inherits the title, so he can sit. There will be no mediocrity in the position of prince."

"You may want to ask, if that's the case, why are there still emperors who can't practice? That's because the old emperor only has this one son. This is the same as a fool inheriting the throne. The world is vast, but one's own bloodline is the greatest. Only the elimination of heirs can It will be adopted from a nearby clan. Not everyone can use the 'Heart of Immortality Stone' to make up for their own innate deficiencies, at least they must be independent."

Qi Xuansu said thoughtfully: "Only by being a heavenly being can you get perfect marks. Everyone must work hard towards being a heavenly being. When you reach the realm of heavenly beings and experience all kinds of mysteries, you will continue to move forward even if you are not forced by the assessment. The royal family is rich and has no shortage of resources. It is no wonder that they can achieve the cultivation level of the creation stage. Speaking of it, this is much stricter than our Taoism. Our Taoism is based on subtraction. A failure must be compensated with three full marks. No one dares to neglect.”

Zhang Yuelu asked: "That's the truth. In this regard, the royal family is more enlightened than our Taoist families."

Qi Xuansu added: "Zhenji Zhenzhen was enthroned at the time of his crown. This year is the forty-second year of Jiushi, which is sixty-two years old. It is a good age to choose the chief disciple. It is said that when the Queen Mother gave birth to your majesty, she was only eighteen Years old, when the King of Liao was born, he was thirty-seven years old, and there was a gap of nineteen years. In this way, the King of Liao was forty-three years old, in his prime. What level of cultivation was he? "

Zhang Yuelu said while recalling: "I heard my master mention that this King of Liao was very successful at a young age. He was already at the stage of immeasurable cultivation at the age of thirty. Later, he suffered a setback. He seemed to have lost to a man named 'Qing Shi Shi'. The first-class member of Qingpinghui has been wasting many years and has been standing still in the infinite stage. However, after all, he has become a heavenly being, so it does not affect the assessment. His title has always been King of Liao. It was not until recent years that he came out of the shadows. Entering the stage of creation of heaven and man.”

When Qi Xuansu heard the words "green shirt wet", his heart sank, but he didn't show it on his face and changed the subject calmly: "I have never understood why some people are mentally damaged after losing. If you can't take a step forward, you just lose. You can win back later. And what does your state of mind have to do with your cultivation? Aren't we all cultivating our strength but not our mind? Besides, cultivating our strength depends on hard work. If you can't get over it, use external force. Look, I never feel embarrassed if I rely on 'Xuan Yu' to catch up with you. To put it bluntly, I still can't afford to lose."

Zhang Yuelu said: "It is easy to stumble when you are too young and too ambitious, and it is easy to be unable to get up after falling. You have never been too young to succeed, so you are not afraid of stumbles. Regardless of your mentality, you can take it up or let it go. When you fight with others, you will do whatever it takes, and you will not do anything for it. You seek victory for the sake of success. If you can achieve your goal by losing, you don't mind losing. It can be seen that if you don't have the desire to win, there will naturally be no mental state. Those who are easily affected by their mental state are mostly martial idiots. "

Qi Xuansu said helplessly: "Are you praising me? Or are you scolding me?"

Zhang Yuelu smiled and said, "Of course I am praising you."

At the same time, Qi Xuansu was also thinking about another thing.

Could it be that the death of "Qing Shi Shi" was related to the King of Liao?
