Qi Xuansu had no choice but to break the silence: "What do you call Zhenren? Just call me 'Tianyuan'."
Mo Qingdi said, "Master Tian... Master Yuan, I am really happy to know that you are coming to Longmen Mansion."
Qi Xuansu frowned and said, "Tianyuan is Tianyuan, no need for real people. Why are you so polite? We still talk as before."
"This... what kind of rules are these? Now that I am no longer a child, I have to follow the rules when I enter the Taoist sect and deal with real people's feelings." Mo Qingdi said this, but he still felt a little more comfortable and his expression relaxed.
Qi Xuansu asked, "By the way, you and Shi Yu have been together for so many years and are not young anymore. When do you plan to have a child?"
Mo Qingdi smiled, but there was no joy in it, only helplessness: "Child, how can I raise a child?"
Qi Xuansu asked him how he was doing, but he just shook his head, "Compared to others, I'm pretty good and I don't dare to be greedy anymore. Lao Shi is also a good housekeeper. He just wants to buy a small house in Yujing. It doesn't matter which one.
It doesn't matter how big or small you are, but no matter how you calculate, the peace money is always not enough. So I have to cut down on clothing and diet, and save whatever you can. It doesn't matter to us two adults, but how dare we raise a child?"
Qi Xuansu suddenly felt a little emotional.
He and Zhang Yuelu could afford to raise them, but they would most likely not have children. It was a pity, but things in the world were about giving and taking. On the other hand, Mo Qingdi could have children, but he couldn't afford them.
Maybe this is life.
Qi Xuansu asked again, "By the way, how is your book?"
Mo Qingdi couldn't help but sigh, "Last year, I wrote a book, but it was blocked for some reason. It was a year of busy work in vain. Fortunately, I was not blocked and could continue writing. Fortunately among misfortunes...
…”
Qi Xuansu was silent for a while and said, "If you encounter this kind of thing in the future, you can come to me. I'll say hello over at Qingping Bookstore."
Mo Qingdi's face showed joy and he thanked him repeatedly, but he was a little humble, just like many of Qi Xuansu's subordinates.
Qi Xuansu couldn't help but look out the window.
It is already autumn, the autumn wind is rustling, and the trees beside the road are covered with yellow leaves. A gust of wind blows, and the fallen leaves fall down, leaving a desolate place covered with stone roads.
Just like his mood at this time.
The two talked about the book Mo Qingdi was writing and talked about the Xuansheng Card.
There was nothing left to say.
What else can be said?
They give advice on the country and the country, and talk about the world's major events. The two of them are in different positions, have different experiences, and naturally have different ideas. If they really want to talk about it, it is just like a chicken talking to a duck.
Fortunately, Mo Qingdi is no longer so reserved and can still reminisce about the past.
All that's left is to reminisce about the past.
After having a meal, Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu said goodbye and went to the Ghost Kingdom Cave Heaven to pick up Xiao Yin.
Mr. Yin doesn't mind if little Yin becomes someone else's child.
The three evil things are like old people who have lived in poverty all their lives. They have been like this all their lives, but their children cannot be like them. It is best to go out, even if they are other people's children.
Xiao Yin probably couldn't understand this kind of mood. She was only happy at this time.
I'm so happy to be back in the Lion City and able to eat good food again.
Xiao Yin happily ran to Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu, and waved to Mr. Yin who was seeing them off.
Mr. Yin also waved, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he stood on the top of the "Ghost Pass" and watched the three people go away.
The flying boat rose all the way up, breaking through the sea of clouds, and finally sailed above the sea of clouds, heading towards Yujing.
After a short stay in Yujing, the two of them will return to Lingnan and Nanyang.
This meant that Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu were about to separate. At this time, Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu asked Xiao Yin who they wanted to follow? To Lingnan or Nanyang?
Xiao Yin rolled her eyes and expressed that she really wanted to follow Lao Zhang to Lingnan, but Lao Qi had not yet fulfilled his promise. She had to continue traveling around Southeast Asia to prevent Lao Qi from becoming a dishonest person, so she decided to follow Lao Qi.
Go to Nanyang.
Zhang Yuelu laughed it off.
In the past, it was the fault of the father who was a strict father and a loving mother, but failed to teach. The task of educating children rested on the shoulders of the father. However, as Taoism became equal, the situation has changed, and mothers have become extremely powerful in the education of their children.
, my father often began to be absent because he was too busy.
Zhang Yuelu said that it is really not vulgar, but no one is perfect, and it is inevitable to fall into clichés in certain things.
For example, at this point, Zhang Yuelu has relatively high requirements for Xiao Yin, especially after she learned about the "Jianxiu Mountain Lord Heren", she became even more worried about Qi Xuansu, so when they were about to part, Zhang Yuelu gave him
Xiao Yin made a list of books and asked Xiao Yin not to just think about eating, drinking and having fun, but to read these books and memorize them during this time. She will check them out the next time they meet.
If the test fails, all pocket money will be cancelled, and you will be grounded and copied.
Naturally, Xiao Yin was dissatisfied by the boss, and her little mouth was so pouted that it could hang a bottle of oil, but she didn't dare to object, so she could only look at Qi Xuansu helplessly.
Qi Xuansu agreed, not at all
Pay attention to Xiao Yin.
If you go against Zhang Yuelu when she is unreasonable, or in other words, if you oppose Zhang Yuelu when she is taking advantage of her, you will easily get burned.
In this way, Feizhou first stopped in Lingnan and dropped Zhang Yuelu, and then Qi Xuansu and Xiao Yin went to Nanyang.
Qi Xuansu finally came back, which relieved Xu Jiaorong, who was left behind.
Although the real person of Lan Da is nominally in charge of the power, Xu Jiaorong is the only one who supports the specific matters. The Borneo Taoist Mansion is a Taoist government. The real person in charge of the house is vacant, and the chief deputy master is absent, which means that all errands have to be done.
The pressure placed on the second deputy palace master Xu Jiaorong can be imagined. However, the Borneo Taoist Palace had just experienced a major purge, and there were also vacancies in positions such as deputy palace master, principal, and assistant manager.
That's even harder.
These days, Xu Jiaorong barely slept.
Now, not only is Qi Xuansu, the chief deputy palace master, back, but the new real master is also coming.
As rumored, the new headmaster is none other than Yao Shu, the former chief deputy head of Ziwei Hall.
The reason why it has been delayed for so long is mainly because there are more procedures to go through before the real person can be promoted to the real person. After all, he has truly entered the Golden Palace and has the power to elect the chief leader, so he must be cautious.
Yao Shu first resolved the grade of Zhenzhi Zhenren, and then passed the appointment. If he did not have the identity of Zhenzhi Zhenren, then he could only be the acting head of Zhenren.
After the appointment is issued, Yao Shu will arrive at the Borneo Taoist Palace in the near future. Along with him are the new deputy palace chief Pei Xiaolou, who will fill the vacancy of Wang Jiaoying, and the new deputy palace chief Ji Jiaozhen, who will replace Zheng Jiaoying.
What vacancies.
These two are both serious second-grade Taiyi Taoist priests, but they do not serve as the first or second rank. They only serve as deputy palace masters. They are somewhat overqualified. However, considering that neither of them is very "serious", one has insufficient cultivation, and the other
Like Landa Zhenren, they don't like to take charge of things. If they were to be the chief or second-in-command on their own, they would probably make mistakes, so it would be better to let them be the deputy palace masters.
As a result, the standards of Borneo Taoist temples have been greatly raised. It is not that there are no second-grade Taiyi Taoist priests who serve as ordinary deputy hall masters and deputy palace masters, but they are all extremely special Taoist halls and Taoist houses, such as Shangsantang and
Kunlun Daofu.
But having said that, the Borneo Taoist Mansion was already equipped with a high-level master, and the standards should be very high. However, in the past, the Borneo Taoist Mansion was in a special situation, and Jinque deliberately suppressed the Borneo Taoist Mansion. Now it is replaced by one of its own.
Naturally, the restrictions will be relaxed and the Borneo Province will return to normal.
According to the rules of the Taoist sect, the top four people in the order of Taoist affairs are fixed, namely, the great master in charge,
The real person in charge of the palace, the chief deputy palace master, and the second deputy palace master.
The next seven deputy palace lords first look at their grades, with those with higher grades at the front. Then look at the division of labor and responsibilities. Those with important divisions of labor are at the front. For example, Wang Jiaohe, who used to be in charge of Dayu Kingdom, was the third deputy palace lord. Finally, look at the entrance path.
When government affairs are being discussed, those with the most seniority are at the front when entering.
In the current Borneo Taoist House, Landa Zhenren, Yao Shu, Qi Xuansu and Xu Jiaorong are the top four, the fifth is Pei Xiaolou, the sixth is Ji Jiaozhen, the seventh is Xie Jiaofeng, and so on.
Sort.
This was undoubtedly an unexpected surprise for Qi Xuansu, because both Pei Xiaolou and Ji Jiaozhen were related to him and could even be regarded as one of his own, which greatly increased his voice in the Taoist government.
This kind of personnel arrangement is a bit deliberate. Qi Xuansu knows that this is not like the arrangement of the Earth Master, but more like the arrangement of Master Donghua. Xie Jiaofeng is the former secretary of Master Donghua, and Pei Xiaolou is the brother of Master Donghua.
, Ji Jiaozhen probably also has some kind of relationship with Donghua Zhenren.
Such an arrangement would greatly restrict Yao Shu and even give Qi Xuansu the possibility to sideline Yao Shu. This was not in the interests of the Yao family, but in line with the interests of Zhenren Donghua.
It seems that food still needs to be eaten separately. No matter how good the relationship between the Yao family and the Pei family is, they are still two families, not one family.
Maybe for Donghua Zhenren, he had no choice in the past but to be a transitional figure between Earth Master and Yao Pei. But now he suddenly found that he had a choice, maybe he could change his path.
Of course, this is just Qi Xuansu's guess. As for what happened, only Master Donghua himself knows.
In addition, there are two people. One is Sun Yongfeng, who once worked with Qi Xuansu in Tiangang Hall. As one of the more advanced ones among the eight generations of disciples, after not seeing each other for a few years, he has successfully become a heavenly being and has also been promoted to the third level.
Taoist priest Youyi was sent as the new secretary of Master Landa this time. The other one was Tang Yongde, the former chief director of Baidi City branch of Shibotang. This time he was appointed as the acting assistant manager of Shibotang branch.
These two people are also acquaintances of Qi Xuansu.
Furthermore, Han Yongfeng and Lu Yuting were also promoted. It turned out that they were just the chiefs under the name of Qi Xuansu. This time Han Yongfeng was appointed as the chief chief of the Beichen Hall branch, taking over Wu Meirong's position. Lu Yuting was appointed as the chief chief of Huasheng Hall.
The chief director of the branch church is also a natural choice.
Other vacant positions will be filled by promotion within the Taoist government.
What else could Qi Xuansu say? Everyone in the Taoist government belongs to him, and the Nanyang United Trading Company is also under his control.
If he really works for twenty years, it doesn't even have to be twenty years, as long as ten years, this Borneo Taoist government will be his world.
