Pawn Crossing the River

Qi Xuansu shouted "Ah" and opened his eyes suddenly.

Both Shi Hengbo and Lingshan disappeared, and he was in his tent.

It was already bright at this time, and I don’t know how long it had been. Qi Xuansu's whole body was soaked with sweat. After becoming a congenital person, although his lifespan did not increase, there were many subtle changes. Not only was he not affected by human diseases, but he was also free from dirt and leakage. Under normal circumstances, he would not have given birth. Sweat will not cause hair loss, dandruff, etc., and the whole body will not be dusty, just like a lotus flower that emerges from mud without being stained, so frequent changes of clothes and bathing are eliminated. After learning the "big grain technique", I even skipped eating.

Qi Xuansu had already become a heavenly being, one step further than an innate person, but he was sweating through his clothes at this moment, which showed that the pain was not a simple hallucination, but a real effect on his body.

Qi Xuansu breathed a long sigh of relief, shook the bell on the desk, and then said to Xiao Yin outside the door: "Xiao Yin, go play, there is no need to guard."

Xiao Yin responded happily and left without looking back.

Not only did Master Qingwei not ask about Xiao Yin's origins, he also gave her an ultimatum from a Taoist priest who offered sacrifices to the fourth grade of wine. If you think about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with this. Since demons can be Taoist priests, ghosts can do the same. As for the issue of Xiao Yin's lack of merit, counting from the time of Xuansheng to the three generations of great masters, Mr. Yin, Master Wan, and Mrs. Bai, who has not fought for the Taoist sect in all directions, her contribution, Mr. Yin I've already earned it for her.

Even Suzuka Gozen can't see through Xiao Yin. As long as Xiao Yin restrains her aura, and with this fourth-grade wine-sacrifice Taoist priest's ultimatum, no one will embarrass her.

After a while, a Taoist man came in.

Qi Xuansu said: "Prepare hot water for me, I want to take a shower and change clothes."

"Yes." Dao Min responded and backed out again.

Qi Xuansu has reached the immeasurable stage. It is not difficult to clean himself, but Qi Xuansu doesn't want to do it. Just like the gods can fly in the wind, they still like to ride in a flying boat. If you can use the "sound transmission array", you will never strain your voice to transmit sounds thousands of miles away.

This is not a question of whether it can be done, but a question of how to do it more comfortably.

Otherwise, why do people in the world pursue power?

It would be a bit false to say that it is all for the common people in the world and peace for all ages.

It cannot be said that there are no such people, but it takes five hundred years for a saint to appear, and most of them are still lay people.

Soon, Qi Xuansu soaked in the tub, closed his eyes, and relaxed. His clothes were hung casually on the screen. When he finished bathing, Taoist people would come to take them away and clean them.

Now is the time of war. Of course, not every Taoist priest has such treatment, only high-quality Taoist priests can. In fact, people of the same rank as Qi Xuansu are accompanied by secretaries. Such matters are naturally arranged by the secretary. For example, Zhang Yuelu is accompanied by Mu Jin. It's just that Qi Xuansu has just been promoted to the third rank of deputy hall master, and his secretary Ke Qingqing is still in the learning stage, so he simply didn't take him with him.

At this moment, Zhang Yuelu's voice sounded outside the door: "Tianyuan, are you there?"

Qi Xuansu heard it, but deliberately didn't speak.

Zhang Yuelu could naturally sense that Qi Xuansu was in the tent and walked straight into the tent.

The camp is neither small nor big.

Soon, there was only a screen between them.

Zhang Yuelu said angrily and funny: "You bad guy, you didn't reply on purpose, right?"

Qi Xuansu smiled and said, "I'm not a young girl, so I'm not afraid of people looking at me."

Zhang Yuelu had no intention of leaving. He just turned around, leaned his back against the screen, and said, "You're not afraid of people seeing you, I'm afraid. You're not a young girl, I am."

Qi Xuansu said hurriedly: "Sooner or later, that day will come."

Zhang Yuelu did not deny it, but instead said: "Have you reached the immeasurable stage?"

"That's natural." Qi Xuansu said, "If you walk in front, I have to try my best to follow."

"What you said is shameful. In a few years, you will be the one walking in front, and I will try my best to follow behind." Zhang Yuelu said with emotion, "I have seen the power of banishing immortals the day after tomorrow. In the face of a strict organization, the power of an individual It's really nothing. In the past, you could only get a little chance by exploring secret caves, hunting monsters, or meeting senior masters. How far you can go depends on your innate qualifications and nurture. It’s almost impossible to change your luck. If you can do it, you can do it, and if you can’t, you can’t. Nowadays, it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter whether you can do it or not.”

Qi Xuansu's voice came from behind the screen: "It can't be said that it is completely irrelevant. After all, looking at the entire Taoist sect, there are only Qi Xuansu and Li Changge."

Zhang Yuelu said: "I occasionally wonder, if the world continues to develop along the current route, what will it look like in a few hundred years? Will most people completely lose their humanity and become mere props? After all, people are no longer They are irreplaceable. Hands, feet, limbs, and internal organs are like parts of a certain prop. If they break, they can be replaced. There are prosthetic hands, prosthetic feet, and a righteous heart. You can even create people out of thin air. As the primate of all things, human beings, among other things, What is the meaning of existence? On that day, will there be only pure material pursuits and all spiritual and emotional pursuits will be lost?”

The sound of water behind the screen was accompanied by Qi Xuansu's voice: "I don't think so. The Holy Court has a saying about the seven deadly sins. Negative emotions are also feelings. Everything has a yin and yang. You can't say it is not a feeling just because it is negative. In fact, it is difficult to maintain positive emotions, but it is easier for negative emotions to survive. I believe that maybe one day, the world will be degenerate, morals will be corrupted, and human nature will be lost, but these negative emotions will never be eradicated, but will become even worse. All human activities will be driven by growth. How can you say that people have lost all spiritual and emotional pursuits? Bad pursuits are also pursuits, aren't they?

Zhang Yuelu was silent for a while, pursed his lips, and said, "The scene you described is more terrifying than I expected."

Qi Xuansu had already left the tub and started to get dressed.

Zhang Yuelu quietly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the rustling sound.

Soon, Qi Xuansu turned around the screen and came to Zhang Yuelu's side.

Zhang Yuelu turned his head and glanced at Qi Xuansu, his eyes slightly shocked.

Qi Xuansu imitated the Japanese dressing habits. He opened most of his coat, half-dressed and half-draped, leaving most of his chest exposed without wearing a middle coat.

Zhang Yuelu looked at Qi Xuansu without saying a word for a long time.

To be fair, Qi Xuansu can be considered quite "pretty", and I can't say that he is very popular with women, but there are many women, ranging from elders like Qiniang and Zhenren Cihang, to Zhang Yuelu, Li Qingnu, Yao Pei and other peers. , are all first-class people, and no one dislikes him when they see him. It can be seen that Qi Xuansu is really not ugly, and his first impression is not bad. If he had no merit, he would not be found in a crowd, and Yue Liuli would not have gone to war with him back then.

Although Zhang Yuelu wanted to pretend not to care, and even didn't mind mocking the Li family again, she had to admit that she really had no experience in this area and was a little unable to open her mouth.

However, Zhang Yuelu was still calm. At least he didn't blush or feel shy. He took a breath, looked away, and looked forward again: "Maybe I shouldn't come."

Qi Xuansu was stunned for a moment, then replied: "But you're still here?"...

Zhang Yuelu coughed lightly: "I came here because I have business. You spent three days in retreat this time."

Qi Xuansu was slightly surprised. It turned out that Xiao Yin had been guarding the door for three days, and he really did his duty.

Zhang Yuelu continued: "In the past three days, the war in Ise has progressed rapidly. Although some Taoist warriors disguised themselves as civilians and attacked our Taoist priests and spiritual officials, intending to provoke us and make us massacre civilians, They lost people's hearts, but did not cause much damage. Seeing that this plan was not working, they simply massacred some civilians themselves and then blamed us, which caused a certain degree of chaos, but fortunately it did not affect the overall situation. "

Qi Xuansu said: "These Japanese are really cruel and vicious. They are not only cruel to outsiders, but also merciless to their own people. But having said that, after all, they are masters of the samurai, and the fallen samurai are also masters. They don't care about the lives of the people."

Zhang Yuelu said: "After the real person in charge of the army learned about this, he ordered the entire army to exercise restraint and not to kill civilians to vent their anger. At the same time, he also strictly ordered the Fenglinzhou Daofu and Prime Minister Toyotomi to use all necessary means to attack the rogues. , once discovered, can be executed on the spot without trial. If there are people who are harboring or accomplices, they will be guilty of the same crime. "

Qi Xuansu said: "In a sense, the King-Zun faction is just a speculator seeking power. The rogues are the backbone of Fenglinzhou. We just want to break the backbone of Fenglinzhou and make it nothing more than a rogue." A barking dog with a broken spine."

Zhang Yuelu said calmly: "There is no way to bring about blessings and misfortunes, but people call for it. We in the Central Plains have always paid attention to the reputation of teachers. If Fenglinzhou hadn't harassed the Central Plains several times with the intention of swallowing the elephant, how would we have ended up today? The cause of yesterday is what we are today. The result, I think, is just right.”

Qi Xuansu asked: "What orders does Master Zhangjun have? Let us investigate Furong Mountain? Or should we continue to attack Ise Shrine?"

Zhang Yuelu subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Qi Xuansu, but his eyes were filled with "spring light" again, and he said helplessly: "You put your clothes on first."

Qi Xuansu lowered his head and glanced: "What's wrong?"

Zhang Yuelu finally couldn't bear it anymore and reached out to help him cover up his clothes. The reason was high-sounding: "Being neatly dressed is the most basic etiquette requirement of the Taoist sect."

Qi Xuansu said: "That was a public request, but now it is private. The Fifth Generation Master is in charge of heaven and earth, and also manages people's bathing and sleeping?"

Zhang Yuelu spat: "Why didn't I see it before? You are quite a rogue."

Qi Xuansu smiled and said: "I didn't realize that you are not always able to be grand and act like a little girl."

Zhang Yuelu decided to be a good person and stick to it, and took advantage of the situation to help Qi Xuansu fasten his belt: "My father doesn't even get this kind of treatment."

Qi Xuansu opened his hands naturally and said with a smile: "It's an honor."

Zhang Yuelu fastened his belt and was about to retreat when he was taken into his arms by Qi Xuansu who opened his hands.

Qi Xuansu put his chin on Zhang Yuelu's shoulder and whispered in her ear: "When will we get married?"
