Pawn Crossing the River

The Heavenly Master slowly walked down the gangway, and the first person to greet him was Zhang Jucheng, the real person in charge of the Shangqing Palace.

Although Zhang Jucheng is not Tianshi's biological son, Tianshi and Zhang Jucheng's father are brothers from the same mother. And because Tianshi has never married a wife and has no children, according to the clan inheritance system, Zhang Jucheng is still the one shouldering the responsibility. Two families were chosen to inherit the family, so Zhang Jucheng was still considered the eldest son of the clan.

Yes, Tianshi and Zhang Wuhen also have an older brother.

It's just that this brother has not inherited divinity, and even has mediocre qualifications. It is precisely because of this that the elder brother was able to marry and have children normally, and Zhang Jucheng had a son in his old age.

Furthermore, Tianshi and Zhang Wuhen are twins, and there is a slight age gap between them and this elder brother. If this brother was still alive, he would already be a centenarian.

Zhang Yuyue is the daughter of Zhang Jucheng. Zhang Yuyue's biological grandfather is the biological brother of Tianshi, and Zhang Yuelu's biological grandfather is Tianshi's cousin, so Zhang Yuyue is recognized as Tianshi's direct granddaughter.

If Zhang Yuyue and Zhang Yuelu are brothers, then the Heavenly Master will favor Zhang Yuyue out of brotherly feelings. After all, he has a good relationship with his deceased brother. It is a pity that Zhang Yuyue is not living up to expectations. No wonder Heaven?????? ?????????division. In other words, when the Heavenly Master ignored Zhang Yuelu, wasn't he giving the Zhang family a chance?

After all, Zhang Jucheng is a dignified Zhenzhi Zhenren and has his own city. He does not show various emotions on his face like some Zhang clan members. He first saluted the Heavenly Master respectfully, and then looked at Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu. .

Regardless of job rank, seniority or age, Zhang Jucheng is above the two of them, so the two of them have taken the initiative to salute Zhang Jucheng.

Zhang Jucheng did not make excuses and signaled to the two of them that they should not be too polite. He spoke politely: "The two third-grade deputy hall masters who are less than thirty years old have a formidable future. It's time for us people to retire to the mountains and forests."

The Heavenly Master joked: "There is something in your words. If you disciples of the seventh generation are all going to retire to the mountains and forests, then what are we, the disciples of the sixth generation, who are we? Aren't we just old immortals who occupy our position and never move away?"

Zhang Jucheng said quickly: "I don't dare, I don't dare."

The Heavenly Master sighed: "But we can't occupy it for a few more years. The Taoist sect is ours, yours, or theirs. But it is theirs after all. In Buddhism, there is a saying of three generations of Buddhas, past, present and future. We old people They are the Buddhas of the past, you who are in your prime are the Buddhas of the present, and these young people are the Buddhas of the future.”

Zhang Jucheng was not sure what the Heavenly Master meant when he said this, so he did not respond hastily. However, he is Zhenzhi Zhenren. He is not only the Celestial Master's number one secretary, but also the Celestial Master's nephew and second-in-law. He is considered a half-son. His relationship is not ordinary. He naturally has such privileges in front of the Celestial Master.

The Heavenly Master did not talk in depth, but motioned Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu to stand next to him, and said: "On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month the year before last, when we were drinking Laba porridge, Quanzhen Taoist came a Qi Zhenren, and this time on the Lantern Festival, another Quanzhen Taoist came. The future Master Qi is fate."

Zhang Jucheng couldn't help but glance at Qi Xuansu.

What an honor.

Last year's Qi Zhenren naturally referred to Qi Jiaozheng, the real person in charge of Shuzhou Taoist Government, but the Heavenly Master actually compared Qi Xuansu to Qi Jiaozheng. Others may say this as a compliment, but the Celestial Master's words are different. Firstly, it is impossible for the Celestial Master to compliment a junior, and secondly, the Celestial Master has the ability to turn his words into reality. The dignified deputy headmaster Da Zhenren, seeking a position to know Zhenzhen is not easy, but it is not difficult either.

Could it be that the Heavenly Master and the Earth Master have this intention? What the two great masters have determined is basically stable.

However, it cannot be ruled out that the Celestial Master is just talking about the situation. Doesn’t the big man need to talk about the situation? Same thing to say.

It’s not that big people insist on being mysterious, cryptic, or using official language, but too many people like to figure out every word in their words, forcing them not to speak human words. This way of speaking can leave three points of leeway, and ambiguity is enough. Will not be caught by opponents. Of course they can also speak human language, but there are very few people who can speak human language to them.

The Heavenly Master asked again: "Are you ready for this year's Lantern Festival?"

Zhang Jucheng said: "It's ready."

It is worth mentioning that the Lantern Festival at Dazhen Mansion is also stuffed with red fruit.

Crimson fruit blooms for hundreds of years and bears fruit for hundreds of years. It is the most yang thing. If an ordinary person takes it, his internal organs will be burned to death by the strong fire contained in it. But if you can resist the fire, you can use the medicinal power of the Crimson Fruit. And gain realm cultivation.

There are very few red fruit trees in the world. There are only a few red fruit trees that are more than a thousand years old in Yunjin Mountain and Kunlun Cave. No one has the opportunity to see them. Even if they are lucky enough to get one, they would not dare to take it rashly. However, the Zhuguo from Dazhen Mansion has been processed in advance to remove part of the blazing fire, and has been neutralized by other medicinal materials. It can be said to be a great tonic for the cultivation of great powers. There are benefits.

The Heavenly Master nodded, said nothing more, and led Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu towards the direction of Dazhen Mansion.

Naturally, the many Zhang family members separated their paths, and then followed them one by one according to their status.

The last time Qi Xuansu came to Yunjin Mountain, he was not qualified to enter the Dazhen Mansion and could only wait outside. This time I came to Dazhen Mansion and followed the Tianshi into Dazhen Mansion as a guest, and the Zhang family had to follow behind.

Dazhen Mansion is a real fairy-like atmosphere. There are cranes hovering in the blue sky, deer jumping in the mountains and forests, green forests, fish flying in the shallows, natural carvings, and hibiscus blooming in the clear water.

Logically speaking, Dazhen Mansion is the residence of the Zhang family, not the residence of Zhengyi Yiyi. However, the Zhang family and Zhengyi Yiyi are both integrated into one body, so there is no distinction between the inside and outside of Dazhen Mansion.

Dazhen Mansion is praised as: Unparalleled in the South and the first in Xijiang. There are Xuantan Hall, Zhenwu Hall, Lifting Office, Dharma Seal Bureau, Zanjiao Hall, Wanfa Zongtan, lobby, family temple, private residence, Sanshengtang, Weifu Bookstore, Imperial Book Pavilion, Star Observation Deck, Cooling House, Places such as the Ganoderma Garden and the Demon-Suppressing Platform are not much different from the sage's mansion in Qizhou.

Zhuguo is in the Ganoderma Garden, the Demon-Suppressing Platform is where the Demon-Suppressing Well Cave is located, the Wanfa Zongtan is where the entire Yunjin Mountain array cardinal is located, the Weifu Bookstore is the study room of the Heavenly Master, and the Imperial Book Pavilion is the library. Major festivals like the Lantern Festival that involve a large number of people are usually arranged in the lobby.

However, the Shangyuan Festival will be in a few days, so Tianshi's move is not as simple as inviting Qi Xuansu to spend the Shangyuan Festival at Dazhen Mansion, but also means to stay overnight. That is to say, from now until Qi Xuansu leaves Yunjin Mountain, he will be allowed to live in Dazhenren's mansion. This is a great honor.

People in the world often say, don’t look at what he says, but look at how he does it.

The Heavenly Master said nothing, but his various actions were worth a thousand words.

In the eyes of others, if the Heavenly Master didn't value this boy, would he still praise him so highly?

After entering the Dazhen Mansion, the Heavenly Master told Tang Jiaohua: "Xuansu and Yuelu are staying at the Dazhen Mansion these days."

Tang Jiaohua responded softly.

Tianshi went to Weifu Bookstore alone, while Tang Jiaohua led Qi Xuansu to Guanyuxuan, the guest's residence. The last time Qi Jiaozheng visited Dazhen Mansion, he stayed here.

As for Zhang Yuelu, she was placed in Wangyunxuan. This place is very interesting. Master Cihang visited Dazhen Mansion in the past dynasties and always lived here. At this time, Zhang Yuelu was also lucky enough to be one of them, which made people feel many different meanings.

Many Zhang family members formed circles and whispered about today's events.

Most of the members of these circles are of similar age and have similar levels, so that they have common topics. They come from a wealthy family and enjoy more pleasure than hard work. Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu are incompatible with their world.

"What is this person's background? Is Master Qi's son? I haven't heard that Master Qi has a son, but I heard that Master Qi has a nephew." Some people are not well informed.

"You don't even know him?"

"What, this person is famous?"

"Nonsense, the old man praises him so much, do you think he is famous or not?"

"Then tell me."

"This man's surname is Qi, and he has nothing to do with the Shuzhou Qi family. His origin is very mysterious. Logically speaking, he should have a good background, but it is hard to say which path he is connected to. In fact, he came in the twelfth lunar month of the year before last..." ???????????????Once, I was a seventh-grade Taoist priest or a sixth-grade Taoist priest. Anyway, the grade was not high. But this year, I transformed into a dignified third-grade deputy hall master. Except for Zhang Qingxiao of our Zhang family, , that’s him. Who would believe that he has no background?”

"I heard that he is a member of Master Donghua? Could he be the illegitimate son of Master Donghua?"

"Who can say for sure? The key is that Master Donghua has no Taoist companions. If he is his own heir, then he can openly recognize his ancestors and return to the clan. Why hide it? Furthermore, if he is really Donghua's Son, then when it comes time to surface, it will never be so sudden.”

"You can't say that. Maybe it's due to the romantic debt that Master Donghua incurred when he was young. He didn't know that he had such a son until recently. The pass is at the critical moment of competition for the great leader. Master Donghua was afraid of affecting the overall situation, so he decided We haven’t recognized each other. Maybe after the dust settles with the Seventh Generation Master, Master Donghua will recognize each other.”

"The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes. It's best not to mention this kind of thing. If it reaches the ears of Master Donghua, you will suffer. Don't forget, now we are allied with the Quanzhen Tao. If it makes the friendly countries surprised , be careful to convict you of breaking the alliance."

"Okay, don't say it. Real people don't talk about their rights and wrongs."

"But having said that, this Deputy Hall Master Qi has some real abilities. He has been to Jiangnan Daofu and Imperial Capital Daofu. These two places are not good places. I won't talk about the major Jiangnan case. This is ...'We' are the place where Qingxiao of the Zhang family made his fortune. It is said that he also experienced the catastrophe of the Jinling Mansion. Have you heard about the recent events in the Imperial Capital? Li Changge of the Li family, Yao Pei of the Yao family, plus 'we'. Zhang Qingxiao from the Zhang family all went to the Imperial Capital, and finally Jiang Dazhen also went there in person. There was a lot of commotion here. As far as I know, he was in charge of the Imperial Palace at the time, and he was promoted immediately after returning to the Imperial Capital. "Third grade."

"Look at this attitude, is the old man planning to marry Qing Xiao?"

"Getting married? What a joke! What is Qingxiao's status now? She is the headmaster of Tiangang Hall, along with Li Changge and Yao Pei. Wouldn't it be a big loss to send her to someone else's house?"

"Are you looking for a son-in-law?"

"That's what I'm afraid of. If I recruit a son-in-law, she will still be from the Zhang family. After the old man ascends to the throne, it will be hard to tell."

"I think it might be a marriage, it's something that can't be said for sure."
