It is said that a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise. This time, Qi Xuansu was backlashed by the pages of the "Xirui Sutra", causing great damage to his cultivation. However, there is also an advantage, that is, it speeds up Qi Xuansu's digestion of "Xuanyu", which was originally "deposited"
Qi Xuansu's power was used to make up for the shortfall.
Qi Xuansu estimated that as long as he recovers from his injuries, he can absorb new "Xuanyu". The further back he goes, the greater the demand for "Xuanyu" will be. With his current level of cultivation, about
It takes two or more "mysterious jade" levels to advance to the creation stage. And it is best to have several other kinds of "mysterious jade" besides the "mysterious jade of life" to achieve balanced development.
As for divine power, Qi Xuansu has no shortage of it. Last time, in order to deal with the divine incarnation of Lord Siming, he received 10,000 moments of divine power from the Taoist Mansion. After deducting the consumption of 7,788, he still had about half of it. Jinque
He was not held accountable for the unauthorized use of divine power, and was not even allowed to return it. He was allowed to keep the remaining divine power for emergencies. This can also be regarded as a disguised reward from Jinque to him.
Therefore, although Qi Xuansu has no money today, there is almost no need to spend money on the personal side, and the Taoist side has taken care of it.
However, Qi Xuansu's good days were short-lived. He soon received news from Jinque, asking him to return to Sheji Palace in Shenglong Prefecture to prepare for the pursuit team sent by Jinque.
Even though it is a small group, it has a very high standard and is led by a great master Pingzhang himself. Its members include many first-grade spiritual officials and creation gods.
The Pingzhang Great Master who is in charge of the leadership is Jiang Hedao. He does not belong to any of the three schools, but is from the lineage of the Grand Master. He is now the Grand Master of the Zixiao Palace.
Although due to the Sixth Generation of Grand Masters and the vacancy of the Grand Master, the power of Zixiao Palace is not as powerful as before and can no longer compete with Jinque, Zixiao Palace is still the first among many Taoist palaces, with a status of
Above the Wanxiang Dao Palace, Wanshou Chongyang Palace, Shangqing Palace, and Qingling Palace.
Today, the Grand Master of Zixiao Palace is no longer the chief secretary of the Grand Master under one person, but more like a fire-fighter. Whenever there is a problem, he will rush there. If the world is peaceful, then he will enjoy peace and quiet.
Now that there is an incident in Borneo and Chen Shuhua is on the run, it is a huge hidden danger, so only Jiang Dazhen can come forward.
Qi Xuansu naturally had to rush back to meet Master Jiang Da.
This is not the first time Qi Xuansu has greeted Master Jiang Da. The last time was at the Penglai Pool in the Imperial Capital. However, at that time he played a role similar to that of a Taoist boy, but this time he took on the role of Shi Bingyun.
Due to special circumstances, Xie Jiaofeng, the deputy palace master, did not need to go back and stayed in the Lion City.
together
Xuansu had to return to Shenglong Mansion for the time being. Lion City still needed someone to take charge of the overall situation, so Xie Jiaofeng suddenly discovered that as soon as Chief Qi left, Second Chief Zhang appeared out of nowhere.
He had long known that Zhang Cixi had come to Nanyang to investigate the case, but he did not expect that Zhang Cixi had been right under his nose.
Logically speaking, Zhang Cixi can't control him, because the two of them are not from the same Taoist government. But the accounts cannot be settled like this, not to mention how powerful the Zhang family behind Zhang Cixi is, and they can't afford to offend others.
After talking about the relationship between Chief Qi and Zhang Cixi, he also knew what to do.
Of course this is against the rules, but Qi Xuansu really can't worry about Xie Jiaofeng, who is out of tune. If something happens during his absence, then Xie Jiaofeng can't count on him and can only rely on Zhang Yuelu. Mr. Qi Xuansu
You can't stick to the rules and ignore the overall situation. Besides, Zhang Yuelu will not give formal orders. She will give suggestions to Xie Jiaofeng, and then Xie Jiaofeng will give orders. Xie Jiaofeng can also choose not to listen to Zhang Yuelu.
My suggestion is to see if he has the courage.
Qi Xuansu returned to Shenglong Mansion the day before Jiang Dazhen arrived at Borneo Taoist Mansion, and Xu Jiaorong came to pick him up in person.
After getting on the carriage, Qi Xuansu asked, "Xu Cixi, is there nothing going on in Shenglong Mansion recently?"
"Everything is fine." Xu Jiaorong sat opposite Qi Xuansu, "There is nothing to do here in Shenglong Mansion. Princess Furui has become the new head of the country. The royal family intends to distance themselves from the relationship and does not interfere much.
The key is still over there in Lion City. I have heard about the riots, and it is still difficult for you."
Qi Xuansu closed his eyes, "It doesn't matter. No matter which way they come, we just go all the way. As long as we bite the Nanyang United Trading Company, there will always be times when they can't hold on."
Xu Jiaorong did not discuss this topic in depth, but turned to look at Chen Jianchou who was following Qi Xuansu, "Yuzheng didn't cause any trouble to Chief Qi, did he?"
Qi Xuansu smiled and said, "He is very good. Now we are just waiting for the big exam in August."
The carriage traveled smoothly, without any assassination, and arrived at Sheji Palace smoothly.
Now Qi Xuansu's pledge room in Sheji Palace has been moved to the Fire Palace, which was the pledge room that previously belonged to Chen Shuhua. The layout is similar to that of the Water Palace, one on the left and one on the right, facing each other far away. Xu Jiaorong has moved to Qi Xuansu's previous pledge room.
Qi Xuansu signaled to Chen Jian
Qiu followed Xu Jianrong to the Water Palace to allow mother and son to have time to communicate. After all, Xu Jianrong was a secretary by trade and must have a lot of experience in this area, so he must teach Chen Jianqiu face-to-face.
The Fire Palace is a bit unfamiliar to Qi Xuansu. This place is essentially Wang Jiaohe's territory, but Wang Jiaohe has not been here recently. After Qi Xuansu entered the Fire Palace, the entire Fire Palace was silent, for fear of blocking Qi Zhenren's way.
I was also afraid of being in the eyes of Master Qi.
Especially those who originally worked under Chen Shuhua, many of them have been dealt with. After all, they have been with Chen Shuhua for so many years and are under the same roof. It is unrealistic to have no involvement at all. Those who survived are also in doubt whether they should be dealt with or not.
Naturally, he was afraid. When he saw Qi Xuansu, he was still afraid. It could be said that Qi Xuansu wanted to clear up Chen Shuhua's old accounts and deal with them. It would not be difficult. Naturally, there was no thorn in his side.
Qi Xuansu entered the signing room, summoned the chief executive and the second chief, and asked, "How are the various arrangements for receiving Jiang Daren and his party being prepared?"
The two principals reported back, "We are ready. There are clear standards for the reception of Master Pingzhang, which is considered to be top-notch."
Qi Xuansu thought of welcoming Yao Pei and said, "Don't arrange any more Taoist boys, especially those young Taoist boys. Let a bunch of half-year-old children who are not innate people endure there in the hot weather.
Means nothing."
The two principals responded.
Early the next morning, all the people responsible for welcoming the guests arrived. In addition to the headmaster, chief minister, and second chairperson, four deputy palace masters came, two first-grade spiritual officers arrived, and there were also three assistants and heads of each branch.
, which also includes Yao Pei.
The formation this time was much bigger than welcoming Qi Xuansu. When Qi Xuansu came, only Chen Shuhua personally greeted him on behalf of the Taoist government, and the rest were waiting in the Sheji Palace. This time, everyone except the master of Lan Da came out to greet him.
By the Sword Lake.
I have to say that things change and people change. Last time it was Chen Shuhua, this time it was Qi Xuansu.
The second thing is that things have changed. The last time Qi Xuansu met Jiang Dazhen, he was still the chief executive, and now he is the chief deputy palace master.
Soon, a "Yinglong" slowly descended towards Guijian Lake.
The huge amount of water vapor it carries is a majestic heavy rain, filled with water mist.
No one tried to block the water vapor, everyone still kept looking up.
Finally, the huge "Yinglong" successfully landed in Guijian Lake, setting off layers of blue waves that spread to all directions.
After "Yinglong" came to a complete stop, an overly long gangway was lowered, and a figure appeared on the deck, wearing a black crane cloak, a sword of wisdom, and a purple lotus crown on his head. It was Ping Ping.
Zhang Daren Jiang Hedao.
Wang Jiaohe was walking in the front and had already gone up to meet him. Qi Xuansu and Xu Jiaorong, one on the left and one on the right, were half a body behind Wang Jiaohe and followed behind.
Master Jiang Da was still the same as before. He first exchanged polite greetings with Wang Jiaohe, and then looked at Qi Xuansu, "Master Qi, when I saw you last time, you were still the chief under Master Shi. Now in the blink of an eye, you have become such a great person."
The chief minister of the government is really a person who deserves to be treated with admiration after three days apart."
Qi Xuansu humbly said, "The Great Master is ridiculously complimentary."
In the past, Master Jiang Da could regard these eighth-generation disciples as mere juniors, but now his attitude is about to change. As the eighth-generation disciples gradually become second-grade Taiyi Taoist priests, it means that these Taoist disciples are the third generation of young people.
It will begin to appear on the stage, and its influence will become greater and greater. Maybe it won't be long before the seventh generation Grandmaster is elected, and the choice of the eighth generation Grandmaster can be put on the agenda.
In contrast, there are fewer and fewer disciples of the Sixth Generation. Some have passed away at the end of their lives, some have ascended to death, or some have retired to the mountains and forests.
The seventh-generation disciples are relatively stable and are the mainstay. The sixth-generation disciples are decreasing, while the eighth-generation disciples are increasing. The replacement of the old and the new is always a big problem that cannot be circumvented.
Jiang Dazhen praised, "You have done a good job in Borneo recently. In one month, you did what others did for a year or even ten years. You found Chen Shuhua, the black sheep, and saved the Dayu Kingdom. Regardless of the three deputy commanders,
Master Jiaoda, Master Pingzhang and Master Shenzhi all praise you highly. You, the youngest second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest, are worthy of your reputation."
Qi Xuansu could only say, "Thank you so much for the compliment. Xuansu will definitely live up to Jinque's trust."
Master Jiang Da finally looked at Xu Jiaorong, "How is Lao Lan's injury?"
Xu Jiaorong bowed slightly and replied, "The injury of the master in charge is much more stable. It is not life-threatening. He should be able to leave the confinement soon."
Jiang Hedao nodded, "That's good. There are only these few old Taoist friends, old friends, and old brothers left. You can count them on your fingers. We don't see each other more often."
No one can tell clearly what the situation is like in the sky, and it is hard to say whether we can see each other again in the sky. Therefore, Jiang Dazhen’s words revealed the unique sentimentality of the old man.
Having said that, Jiang Hedao took the lead and walked in the direction, followed by the others according to their different statuses.
