Qi Xuansu didn't want to pay attention to it. The water palace was guarded by spiritual officials. Naturally, these spiritual officials could not do anything to the old master. But if the old master did not follow the rules and used force to break into the water palace, that would be another matter.
Of course, these old masters will not be at the realm of immortality. If they are at the immortality stage, they must be Pingzhang Danzhen. In essence, they are second-grade Taiyi Taoist priests. Because they are willing to retreat bravely, the Taoist sect gives them an honor.
The name of a real person with a nature, so there are only two possibilities for his realm cultivation, either the pseudo-immortal stage or the creation stage.
The reason why the Taoist sect has a retirement mechanism is not because the old master is old and frail and lacks energy, but because there are too many worldly affairs, which will affect his cultivation. Many people are still willing to work hard after they get older. It is natural for pseudo-immortals
I am seeking immortality, not a pseudo-immortal. I also want to live as many years as possible. A natural catastrophe once every hundred years does not mean that the life span is only a hundred years. If the three corpses can be suppressed in various ways, the life span can also be extended. I dare not say that I will live.
If you are two hundred years old and live for more than ten years or twenty years, there will still be no big problem.
As for killing the three corpses, it only prevents the three corpses from attacking one's life. It does not mean that the three corpses will no longer exist. It is more like being suppressed. Therefore, even if the Immortal Immortal encounters a backlash, the three corpses in his body will still
Seizing the opportunity to cause chaos, it is the so-called three corpse gods who jump violently. If you are not careful, the immortal will also be in danger of falling. The incarnation of the three corpses is equivalent to recruiting the three corpses and using them for your own use. However, the matter of revolting is also unbearable.
Enumeration also has risks.
Before immortality is achieved, the three corpses cannot be suppressed. However, it is still possible to find ways to delay and resist one or two. For example, taking medicine, but at least it must be at the stage of creation. People under the creation should not think too much about it. And this
Such methods usually have extremely negative effects, and often lead to a complete stagnation in the realm of cultivation, which is just a matter of lingering. There is no possibility of buying time and then improving to the next level by relying on this method.
But looking at it from another perspective, they spend more time in the human world than the Immortal Immortal.
The old people want to live longer and recuperate, while the young people want to rise to the top and make progress. The two hit it off, so this mechanism of retreating to the mountains and forests came into being. In principle, it is not mandatory to retire to the mountains and forests, but Taoist priests who take the initiative to retire to the mountains and forests will receive various rewards.
Generally speaking, it is to upgrade one level. Qi Xuansu now wants to retire to the mountains and forests and be directly promoted to the second level Taiyi Taoist Priest, but Jinque will definitely not approve it.
There is another special situation. Ordinary second-grade Taiyi Taoist priests voluntarily retire to the mountains and forests to enjoy the treatment of Zhenzhi Zhenren. Only when Zhenzhi Zhenren voluntarily retires will he be promoted to a first-grade innocent Taoist priest and be given the title of Da Zhenren.
The higher up Pingzhang Dazhen and the deputy head master Dazhen are not subject to the hermitage system, regardless of retirement.
If you still don’t quit, you won’t be able to move up to another level.
The name of this Sun Lao Zhenren is Sun Heyu. He used to be one of the thirty-six Shen Zhi Zhen Zhen. Even if he is not ranked high, he is still quite powerful. There must be many disciples of the old master. Even if they retire, they still have a certain influence.
The remaining power is still there.
Qi Xuansu already knew the general past of Sun Laozhen through the files. He was Wang Jiaohe's predecessor. Before that, he served as the real person in charge of the Borneo Taoist Palace. At that time, Wang Jiaohe was the chief deputy palace owner, and Sun Heyu was an outsider.
Airborne, there was the real person in charge, the real person in charge, and the local snake King Jiaohe below. This real person in charge was very difficult to do. But at that time, Sun Heyu was already very old. He was obsessed with various external elixirs, suppressed the three corpses in the body, and rarely took care of things.
, in fact, Wang Jiaohe took the power, so not only did the two have no conflict, but they got along well.
Later, Sun Heyu simply applied to Jinque to retire to the mountains and forests in advance, and after receiving the title of Da Zhenren, he did not return to the Central Plains. Instead, he settled down in Borneo and retired here.
Because the situation in Borneo was somewhat unstable at that time, Wang Jiaohe was familiar with the situation and was conducive to stabilizing the situation. He took advantage of the situation and replaced the real person in charge of the Borneo Taoist Government. However, Jin Que later suspected that the chaos at that time was actually Wang Jiaohe's hand behind the scenes.
The purpose of planning is to take over the position of real person in charge.
This made Jinque very angry. The seed had already been planted. Many events later watered and fertilized the seed. Today, the seed finally took root and sprouted out of the ground.
Qi Xuansu didn't want to come forward at first, so he was submissive in disguise. The old man took his face into consideration and maintained his identity. He just yelled a few words and that was enough. Both sides had to step down. In the eyes of outsiders, the old man still had more face, and Qi Xuansu didn't care about this false reputation.
But I don’t know if Master Sun is old, or if he took the elixir to suppress the three corpses and his brain was damaged, or if he has been away from Jinque for a long time and has forgotten many unwritten rules of the Taoist sect. In short, he is a little unclear.
, unexpectedly refused to give up, and showed a strong attitude of not leaving.
This impact is too bad.
Even at this point, Qi Xuansu didn't want to face this old master and break his face directly, because Qi Xuansu's main targets were Wang Jiaohe and Chen Shuhua. Before that, he didn't want to provoke too many enemies, but Xu Jiaorong's words
But Qi Xuansu changed his mind.
Xu Jiaorong didn't say it clearly, but just hinted. Is this old man's reaction a bit too big?
This is interesting.
The reaction was too big, which made him look guilty.
Is it possible that Mr. Sun has a lot to do with him? That's why this old man is so eager, regardless of his status and face, he comes to fish for people as soon as possible.
Qi Xuansu believed that Xu Jiaorong would not be innocent. After all, she had been in Borneo for a long time, and some things could not be hidden from an outsider like Qi Xuansu, who had just arrived, but not from her.
Sun Laozhen himself may not have any obvious problems that can be grasped, but his grandson is not so easy to say.
Xu Jiaorong then talked about the affairs of the two families. The Sun family and the Wang family were not officially married, but Sun Heyu's daughter-in-law and Wang Jiaohe's sister Wang Jiaoyan were junior sisters from the same sect. In the Taoist sect,
, master and apprentice are like father and son, and senior and junior sisters are like real sisters. There is not much difference. Even Zhang Yuelu, who has an unkind temperament, must have a good relationship with Bai Yingqiong and Xiao Yueru.
In other words, Wang Danqing's aunt and Sun Gongzi's mother are sisters. After going back and forth, Sun Gongzi can still call Wang Jiaohe uncle and Wang Danqing's cousin.
In addition, Sun Heyu's son Sun Jiaofeng also entered into business partnership with Wang Jiaoyan. He imitated Westerners and set up a company to specialize in trade. He dared to do any business, even the slave trade, and used Poshazhou
They mainly sold natives, but occasionally sold Westerners. When pirates robbed Western merchant ships, they sold the people to them, and they resold them. Qi Muyu also had trade relations with this company. In fact, not only Qi Muyu, the Zhang family, and the Li family
If the Yao family wants to do business in Borneo, they have to deal with them. After all, they are local snakes, and strong dragons cannot overwhelm local snakes.
Qi Xuansu had an intuition that the goods lost in the ships that sank due to "accidents" would also have something to do with this company. ??
No wonder Sun Heyu wants to retire in Borneo. It’s fake to have feelings for Borneo, but it’s true that he can’t part with real money and silver.
This is so intricate. On the surface, it seems that there is only one Wang Jiaohe and at most one Wang Jiaoying. But the two of them are just the tip of the iceberg on the sea. Only when you really delve deeper will you discover the huge thing under the sea.
Xu Jiaorong and Qi Xuansu were already on the same boat. It was Wang Jiaoying who offended Xu Jiaorong so hard. She was no longer as reserved as before. She took this opportunity to express her feelings and made another statement.
.
Chen Shuhua and Xu Jiaorong are actually younger generations. After all, the biggest difference between disciples of the same generation can be as much as twenty-four years.
Before Chen Shuhua, there was another chief deputy palace master, also a woman named Du Yuhua. She was a well-rounded woman with a great reputation. She had many connections in Jinque and was able to influence everything. Later, due to personnel struggles within Jinque, she was moved ahead of schedule.
Retired to the mountains and forests.
In the earliest days, she was the secretary of the previous head master before Lan Hexu, and her status was equivalent to that of Xu Jiaorong today.
During this period, something happened. Du Yuhua took sick leave for about a year and disappeared. A year later, the Du family had an additional child, who they claimed was an adopted son. But at that time, there was
According to one theory, this child is actually the grandson of the great master. With such a level of cultivation, the great master would naturally not be able to give birth to a child. However, his son is an incompetent person, and his cultivation level is quite average. Taking advantage of his father's position, he and his father
The secretary fell in love and gave birth to evil offspring.
Du Yuhua could not be said to be forced, but she was happy to do so. As expected, not long after the child was born, she was promoted to the second deputy palace master, and then to the chief minister, until the great master ascended and she lost the backstage.
Then he had to retreat to the mountains and forests.
Now that the great master in charge is no longer alive, the truth is naturally unknown. However, the child still lives in the Borneo Taoist mansion and married the granddaughter of Sun Heyu, who is the brother-in-law of Mr. Sun.
Although Du Yuhua is no longer the chief deputy palace master, her influence cannot be underestimated. The old relationship for many years is still there, and she is also a big shot who can change clouds and rain with her hands.
So Qi Xuansu decided to meet the old master for a while, and asked Xu Jiaorong to invite the old master to the living room of the Water Palace.
Xu Jiaorong is the secretary of Master Landa. There is a saying that goes well: Don’t look at the face of a monk to see the face of Buddha. Xu Jiaorong represents Master Landa. Even if you don’t recognize Xu Jiaorong’s face, you can’t damage the face of Master Landa.
, so Mr. Sun followed Xu Jiaorong to the living room.
Qi Xuansu was waiting in the living room. When he saw the two people coming in, he took the initiative to greet the old master and saluted the old master, "It's really a sin for the old master to have such an important role. The old master has to worry about Taoist affairs at his old age. It's ours."
dereliction of duty."
Qi Xuansu was not here just now, so Sun Heyu could naturally say something more unpleasant. But now that they meet, it is no longer easy to do so. Sun Heyu restrained himself, but his tone was still not very good: "You still know that you have neglected your duty."
It's like an elder scolding a younger one.
Qi Xuansu was just being polite, but he didn't really want to admit his mistake. After all, he used "we", which refers to the entire Taoist government, including Wang Jiaohe and Chen Shuhua, not him personally.
