Pawn Crossing the River

The sword array is fierce, but Feigong Xizi and Jiaolong have worked together to neutralize most of the power, and there is still some residual power left. Feigong Xizi can handle it alone.

But Feigong Xizi never expected that Jiaolong would be killed. She was alone and unable to support herself, and her defeat was certain.

This is also reasonable. After all, Jiaolong is a bit weaker than Tamamo Mae, and the battle lasted for a long time, and the losses were serious. He was caught off guard by the quasi-one-kalpa immortal holding an immortal object, and it was natural that he could not escape defeat.

Higong Xizi is not Katsura Zenyuki, and she does not want to die for her country. Since she has lived forever, there is no such thing as "dead at worst", and life is very precious. More importantly, as long as she is alive, the entire Tianmen and the royal family will have a chance of survival.

In other words, only as long as she is alive and has the great tengu of the royal family, can she have a second chance for peace talks.

Of course, the second peace talks will not have as good conditions as the first peace talks, and they will inevitably lose all their troops, territory, and power, but at least they will have some dignity left and will not be massacred.

Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for Feigong Xizi to escape from the hands of the Imperial Master and Zhang Qihan, but there are exceptions, and that is the fairy.

Feigong Xizi is a decisive person and does not hesitate to use the magical power of "Eight-foot Magatama" to open up a huge gap between Yin and Yang.

This is exactly the same as the method used to assassinate Toyotomi Hideshige, except that the priests of Asahi Shrine jointly cast the spell at that time, and Hiko Homiya could use it by herself.

After the gap between yin and yang appeared, Feigong Xizi submerged directly into it.

The Imperial Master and Zhang Qihan did not pursue him. Fenglinzhou was already in the possession of the Taoist sect. As long as Feigong Xizi did not leave Fenglinzhou, she would be a caged bird unable to make any big waves.

The Imperial Master waved his hand and put away Jiaolong's dragon ball.

"Yinglong", who had been in charge of suppressing the formation in the air, slowly landed, and another group of spiritual officers came down and came to the side of the national master. Someone carefully took the dragon ball from the master's hand and put it into a special box, while the other spiritual officials began to deal with the dragon corpse.

This is a necessary material for the construction of "Yinglong". Daomen has not built a new "Yinglong" for a long time.

The Imperial Master ignored these trivial matters and just looked in the direction of the Great Royal Mountain.

Soon, the Great God began to vibrate.

The Ise Jingu Shrine, which sank into the mountain, rose to the surface again.

Zhang Qihan and Suzuka Gozen also landed on the ground.

The Imperial Master and Zhang Qihan were old acquaintances. They only made eye contact and did not communicate verbally. However, the Imperial Master's attitude towards Suzuka Gozen was very kind. First, because Suzuka Gozen was considered half a guest, and secondly, because Suzuka The third reason why Gozen is meritorious is because it is impossible for Suzuka Gozen to enter the core and senior levels of the Taoist sect, and because she is a woman, she must implement the moral correctness of the Taoist sect. Women like Zhang Yuelu and Yao Pei who are expected to enter the core high-level positions of the Taoist sect would not receive such treatment.

After all, Suzuka Gozen had been a mountain god for hundreds of years, so he couldn't be said to be flattered, but he still responded positively to the kindness released by the Imperial Master.

Not long after that, Master Qingwei and Tamamo Mae also returned to Ise.

Neither the Imperial Master nor Zhang Qihan was surprised by Yuzao Qian's submission, which was also expected by the Taoist sect.

At this point, the Ise War came to an end with the fall of Ise Shrine, Tamamo Mae's submission, and the escape of Homiya Noiriko.

This also marks that the February offensive formulated by Dao Sect finally ended successfully in early March. Its significance is far-reaching and its impact is significant. It means that the war situation in Fenglinzhou has entered a new stage. The future situation is not a good one. But it's great.

The winner has been decided in the middle of the chess game, and then there are all kinds of chores, sorting out Ise, and then sorting out the entire Fenglin Continent, solving the various remaining problems, and striving to comprehensively complete the game before the Ghost Festival on July 15th. After ending the Fenglinzhou war, he led the Taoist army back to Yujing to celebrate the Ghost Festival.

In addition, the national master will also replace the earth master as the rotating great master in the middle of the year.

The Earth Master also does not want the war to drag on too long. It is best to start returning to Yujing in batches before June, so that the Earth Master can make some arrangements for meritorious personnel during his term of office instead of waiting until the term of the National Master. Add variables.

Of course, if you don't fight well and fight for a year and a half, it will be directly postponed to the term of the Heavenly Master or simply to the next term of the Earth Master, then you will have fun. Zhengyiyi and Quanzhen Tao will never let it go. Master Qingwei will definitely criticize him.

The Imperial Master was also very polite to Tamamo Mae. For an old man who had been living in the Taoist sect all his life, these habits had been deeply rooted in his bones and became an instinct. Therefore, there was not even the slightest trace of acting or deliberate behavior from the Imperial Master. , completely natural.

The Imperial Master said: "Since being born as a Taoist priest does not involve specific positions, seniority and merit are not considered. They directly correspond to the realm of cultivation. If there is great merit, the corresponding title will be considered, such as Zhenren and Dazhen. This was decided by Xuan Sheng back then. Iron rule. Fellow Taoist Suzuka is from the same second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest. Fellow Taoist Jade should have been awarded the same grade as the innocent Taoist priest. However, fellow Taoist Jade should know that the position of the Grand Master of our Taoist sect is currently vacant, but it cannot be issued. We are both born in the same class of innocent Taoist priests, so I have to feel wronged that fellow Taoist Jade can only be born in the same class of second-class Taoist priests for the time being."

Tamamo Mae said: "I understand the difficulties of Taoism and have no objection."

Although Tamamo Mae has lived for hundreds of years and is considered an "old antique", she does not live in seclusion, but has been walking around the world, witnessing, feeling, and experiencing various changes in the world, so she will not say " They use semi-literary and semi-vernacular words such as "I" and "you", but follow today's customs and call themselves "I". The various words used are the same as today's people, mainly in vernacular.

Suzuka Gozen agreed.

The environment always has a huge impact on people, and everyone will be subtly changed by the surrounding environment. Just a few years ago, Qi Xuansu was still full of slang, but a few years later, he can already speak official accent.

At this time, Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu were walking down the mountain, and spiritual officials kept passing by. Most of the spiritual officials knew these two people and took the initiative to avoid them.

Li Changge and Yao Pei raised the Ise Shrine and purified the inside and outside of the shrine, but this had nothing to do with them.

The two of them walked slowly on the fragmented mountain road. Not far away was the huge sword mark left by the Imperial Master, and there were many messy traces left by the escaped sword energy around them.

However, the two of them were in a pretty good mood, not feeling heavy just because they were on the battlefield.

To borrow the words of the national teacher Li Changgeng: "Why wipe your lapels with the enemy's blood to make up the eyebrow makeup of a heroine."

Some people say that love, or affection, is a luxury product.

This cannot be completely wrong.

Some people stubbornly believe that there is an equal exchange between men and women, and if you want to get something, you have to pay something. Everyone's thoughts are always related to their experiences. Only when they have experienced poverty will they have a very special obsession with material things. Only when they have experienced wealth will they find ways to grasp it in their hands. As the saying goes, poor and humble couples have nothing to do with each other. In order to survive, the word love has inevitably become a bargaining chip for trading. Many people feel that talking about love is like using banknotes to light a fire, which is a huge waste. Then love is indeed a luxury product. M..

Only wealthy families can raise innocent people who are ignorant of worldly affairs and have innocent minds. After all, the children of poor people have already become the masters. Once they become the masters, they will only have reality and no innocence.

Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu are not lacking in material things, and they don't have to exchange their feelings for anything. In other words, even if they give up their morals, ethics, and emotions for what they want, they still cannot get it in exchange, such as the title of Grand Master. Things that can be exchanged for feelings can be obtained through other means, so there is no need.

So they can put aside factors such as reality and interest exchange, enjoy a beautiful relationship that does not contain too many impurities, and even hope that this relationship will have a happy ending.

In this sense, it is indeed a huge extravagance, which is also the luck of the two. If God really existed, he did not set some dilemmas for the two of them, and did not carry out spiritual torture. It is really a great kindness.

Qi Xuansu has climbed up from the bottom, and has many feelings about this. He is always stingy with real feelings, because it is extremely luxurious, how can he give it freely? After counting, there was only Qiniang and Zhang Yuelu. He cherished this kind of relationship.

The two chatted while walking. Qi Xuansu talked about Jiang Ye and Song Yu. He had a clear conscience, but he wanted to prevent others from making trouble, so he told him earlier to avoid leaving any grudges. Zhang Yuelu has a strong heart and believes in Qi Xuansu, but that doesn't mean she is a saint without sorrow or joy.

After listening to this, Zhang Yuelu was quite touched: "No matter how much Daoists shout for equality, today's power field is still dominated by men. If a woman wants to be among them, she must be outstanding. If she is not outstanding, she still has to be outstanding." If you want to be among them, you have to rely on men. I have seen many such things. Some people say that whether a man succeeds depends on who he drinks with, and whether a woman succeeds depends on who he sleeps with. "

Zhang Yuelu is certainly qualified to say such things. She can rise to the top and has the influence of her family background, but the key is that she is capable and willing to work hard. Whether it is a major case or a war, she has participated in it and charged forward, and has been in danger several times. She was able to achieve her current status only after she died and was forced to accept recognition from a large number of people. How could those women who relied on their bodies to gain status compare with her? She also has the confidence to look down on such a woman.

Zhang Yuelu paused slightly: "I handled several cases like this when I was in Beichen Hall. Every time a high-quality Taoist priest with corrupt morals was arrested, many female Taoist priests were involved. These female Taoist priests are very interesting. If you insist on forcing them, She, she shows unimaginable perseverance, but they are also fickle, and once they surrender to their fate, they are incredibly humble, completely different from each other."

Having said this, Zhang Yuelu looked at Qi Xuansu: "Do you think these two women have already expressed their surrender to you and Li Changge?"

Qi Xuansu waved his hand and said: "I have no interest in making women surrender. Since the power field is dominated by men, I would rather men express this kind of surrender to me."

Zhang Yuelu asked with a smile: "Is this what a man should do?"

Qi Xuansu said: "This is what a man should do!"
