Pawn Crossing the River

The commendation order clearly stated that the award should be issued to all Taoist sects, and naturally it would be read out publicly in the camp. Therefore, there was also a small ceremony to gather the Taoist priests of the fourth rank and above, spiritual officials, and fellow Taoists who stayed in the camp to watch the ceremony. Zhang Qihan, the great master of Pingzhang, personally read out the award order, and Qi Xuansu came to the stage to receive the award.

After Zhang Qihan handed the commendation order into Qi Xuansu's hands, he praised: "Tian Yuan can be said to be the most accomplished person among the eight generations of disciples, and the number one hero in many praise paintings."

There was immediate applause from below.

The commendation order is divided into two parts. One is a formal written document, which consists of three parts: title number, main text and closing paragraph. It includes the main achievements of the recipient, the specific content of the award, and future expectations for the recipient.

There is also a simplified version for hanging, with only a few lines of writing. The title only has five words: Golden Que Commendation Order. Then start a new line with the content: Qi Xuansu made outstanding contributions in the Fenglinzhou War and will be specially commended. This is the order. The signature is: Pei Xuanzhi, the chief counselor of Jinque, and the time is: the tenth day of March in the forty-third year of Jiushi.

Qi Xuansu first looked at Zhang Yuelu. Zhang Yuelu smiled while applauding, saying nothing.

Li Changge and Yao Pei were the first to step forward to congratulate Qi Xuansu and show their magnanimity.

Then there are powerful figures such as Li Tiangang. These people could still regard Qi Xuansu as a junior regardless of their status before, but now they must treat Qi Xuansu as an equal regardless of whether they are willing or not.

Finally, Xu Kou, Lu Yuting, Han Yongfeng, Qian Daren and others should be congratulated rather than congratulated.

It's not just Zhang Yuelu who can see the routine of dividing one step into three steps. There is no shortage of discerning people in the Taoist sect, and many people have already figured out the taste.

Taoism claims to be equal, but how can there be true equality in this world? Classes of all kinds are everywhere.

Qi Xuansu is more concerned about the salary issue. In the past, because of his job level, Qi Xuansu's salary was not adjusted, but in terms of job subsidies, he changed from principal to deputy hall leader, which increased by one hundred yuan. Qi Xuansu originally received a basic salary of 200 yuan of peace money per month. With various subsidies, the total amount was 400 yuan of peace money per month. After one year, the total income was 4,800 yuan in peace money.

After becoming a regular employee, the job subsidy will remain unchanged for the time being, and the basic salary will be increased to NT$400 per month. With various subsidies, the total will be NT$800 per month. After one year, the total income was 9,600 yuan in peace money, which can be regarded as almost 10,000 yuan in peace money.

In fact, at this point, the issues of remuneration and credit no longer make much sense. As long as Qi Xuansu thought about it, let alone 10,000 yuan of peace money, even 100,000 yuan of peace money was nothing. However, Qi Xuansu was still very happy. This was legal income and could withstand inspection. If you want to go higher, in addition to controlling your lower body, you must also control your hands.

At this point, Qi Xuansu admired the Grand Master of the Five Dynasties very much. Although the Grand Master of the Five Dynasties had mixed reputations, his legacy could be worthy of the word "frugal". After removing all the things that go with the position of the Grand Master, his personal life His property, including his collection of books, was converted into peace money, which was only about 300,000 yuan in peace money.

You must know that this is an Immortal Immortal. Even if he does not hold the position of Grand Master or is not even a member of the Taoist sect, he will not be very poor. All the savings of the Fifth Generation Grand Master are basically the remainder of the annual silver. It would be a joke if the dignified Taoist leader didn't even have 300,000 yuan of peace money. Let’s look at the family fortunes of the three divisions. Which one is not rich enough to rival the country?

Back in the camp, Qi Xuansu took the simplified version of the commendation order and looked at it from left to right: "I have to find someone to frame it and then hang it in the study or the signing room."

Zhang Yuelu said with a smile: "It has to be framed and hung. This is a real military achievement. It's a pity that we don't use Western medals, otherwise we would have to award you a big medal to hang on your chest."

This is the beauty of Zhang Yuelu. She always encourages Qi Xuansu and supports Qi Xuansu to become better, instead of suppressing and controlling Qi Xuansu by belittling Qi Xuansu and elevating herself.

Isn't this a kind of self-confidence? Even if Qi Xuansu becomes the head master, she can still control it.

Qi Xuansu smiled and said: "I have no interest in hanging medals. I prefer wearing a sword of wisdom."

Zhang Yuelu said: "It won't be long."

While the two were talking, they heard a commotion outside. Qi Xuansu already knew who was coming and quickly put away the commendation order.

He came before anyone else: "Xiao Qi, check out!"

Sure enough, Xiao Yin ignored Mu Jin's blockage and rushed in with great enthusiasm, followed by Lin Yuanmiao.

The debtor has arrived.

Xiao Yin waved the note in his hand and read: On the tenth day of the second lunar month in the 43rd year of Jiuzhi, Qi Xuansu was in Anyon County, Ise State, Fenglinzhou, and owed Yin fifteen demon hearts in the Wanmiao heavenly stage. After the Taoist sect captures Ise, it must be repaid in full. If it is not enough, it must be exchanged for the equivalent value of the corresponding elixir. This is hereby established. There is also Qi Xuansu's seal on it.

Of course Qi Xuansu did not forget this matter. He killed a lot of monsters when he attacked Dayu Shenshan, but in that case, it was impossible for him to collect monster hearts, so afterwards he specifically asked Master Qingwei for instructions, and Master Qingwei Without fussing over anything, fifteen kilograms of dragon meat was specially approved for him.

The Taoist sect needs dragon bones and dragon beads to build flying boats. Dragon scales and dragon tendons can be used to make treasures. Dragon blood can be used to make elixirs. Dragon meat has a relatively small effect. It can increase qi and blood and strengthen the body.

Qi Xuansu once raised a question, Xiao Yin is a yin creature, is it appropriate to eat dragon meat?

Master Qingwei did not explain in detail, but just said: "Just give it to her, she will definitely like it."

Qi Xuansu was doubtful, but Master Qingwei was well-informed and could not be wrong.

Qi Xuansu took out the newly obtained dragon meat from the Xumiwu. It had been cut into cubes of the same size and neatly placed in a special box.

Xiao Yin was curious at first and his nose twitched slightly. After opening the box, his eyes widened instantly.

"This, this is..." Xiao Yin stuttered for the first time.

Qi Xuansu pretended to be indifferent and said: "Dragon meat."

Xiao Yin couldn't help but licked her lips: "Is it all mine?"

Qi Xuansu nodded and said, "It's all yours."

Xiao Yin closed the box again with a "pop" sound, then opened his mouth and swallowed the whole box into his belly.

This kind of good stuff should be saved and enjoyed slowly.

Strengthening the Qi, blood and body is the next best thing. The key is delicious food. It is the best delicacy in the world and can best satisfy the appetite.

Qi Xuansu said: "Give me the receipt and we will be clear."

Xiao Yin returned the receipt to Qi Xuansu and patted his belly.

Qi Xuansu casually destroyed the documents and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Xiao Yin nodded heavily: "What I mentioned last time is the seal of the castle tower. You, me, Deputy Hall Master Zhang and Lao Lin, the four of us will go explore it again."

Qi Xuansu turned to look at Zhang Yuelu: "Qingxiao, what do you think?"

Zhang Yuelu thought for a while and said: "We have time now, so we might as well go and take a look, but we must be careful. I suspect that this seal is one of the five seals of Izanozun."

Qi Xuansu thought about it carefully and decided to report it to be prepared.

Master Qingwei has no objection to this. The Taoist sect's current focus is not on Izanozun, but on the Westerners of Satsuma Domain and the remnants of the imperial family in Pingjing. Since it is not a task for the Taoist sect, there is no credit for doing it well. At most, there are some unexpected gains, or magical powers, or external objects. In addition to immortality and resurrection, the Taoist sect does not lack such things. If you accidentally poke Lou Zi, it will be a big mistake.

Master Qingwei is not Qiniang, and will not control Xuansu like a child.

After Qi Xuansu reported, he made some preparations and embarked on the journey back to Ise.

Now that Ise has been completely controlled by the Taoist sect, there is no need to hide their identities. Under the leadership of Xiao Yin, the four of them came to the abandoned Ping clan castle tower.

If Ise Shrine wins, the guards may be re-installed here, but Ise Shrine was defeated, and the air in Ise is filled with gloom, so naturally no one will come to this place.

Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu did not rush to see the seal, but first walked around the castle tower, including the two corpses, and examined them carefully. After listening to Lin Yuanmiao's speculation about the corpses, Qi Xuansu generally agreed.

Finally came to the place of seal.

It's still the same here, no one has been here during this period.

Xiao Yin asked tentatively: "Do you want to open it?"

Qi Xuansu was a little excited. Last time he opened the seal and got the head of Shuten Doji. This time it should not be much worse, but he couldn't be blindly optimistic. If what was released was too powerful and they couldn't clean up the mess, then The gain outweighs the loss.

Zhang Yuelu said directly: "Ask the divination."

The "Gui Zang Lantern" can predict the future, so deciding important events through divination is not a piece of cake.

Qi Xuansu, Xiao Yin, and Lin Yuanmiao all agreed.

Zhang Yuelu took out the hexagram stick from the Xumi object and started the hexagram according to the formula.

However, to everyone's surprise, the divination predictions this time were extremely messy and almost impossible to distinguish.

Zhang Yuelu shook his head: "It was interfered by some kind of force, which also shows that the seal here is very unusual."

Qi Xuansu said: "I'll do it."

Having said that, Qi Xuansu directly unfolded his "Celestial Phantasm Body", and then used the "Ziwei Dou Shu" given by Zhenjun Ziguang. Don’t be afraid if you are disturbed, just seek enlightenment directly from True Lord Ziguang. That is, Zhenjun Ziguang will do the divination on your behalf and then inform you of the results.

However, each time you obtain a revelation, you need to spend a certain amount of divine power, which can be understood as the cost of obtaining the revelation, or as a sacrifice to the gods. In the past, Qi Xuansu had never used it because of his lack of divine power. Now Qi Xuansu still has a reserve of 4,500 kilos of divine power, which makes him very wealthy.

Qi Xuansu spent 500 moments of divine power seeking enlightenment from True Lord Ziguang. No matter how many problems Qi Xuansu had, he could only maintain it for one stick of incense. If you want to extend the time, you have to pay more.

"Is this seal dangerous?" Qi Xuansu asked the first question.

A purple star appeared in front of Qi Xuansu's eyes, flickering brightly and dimly.

This shows that there is a certain degree of danger, but it is not life-threatening. It is probably a fifty-fifty number.

If it is dim and dull, it means that the danger is great and there is concern about life and death. If the stars shine brightly, good things will probably happen.

Qi Xuansu asked a second question: "How to unlock the seal?"
