After the family banquet, on the way back, Qi Xuansu finally couldn't help but ask, "Qingxiao, has Master Cihang become an immortal?"
"Probably." Zhang Yuelu did not give a very definite answer, "Whether you become an immortal or not, isn't it a reasonable thing? Even two years ago, three real people could become immortals.
Yes, it’s just that they don’t want to.”
Qi Xuansu thought for a moment and then said, "If Cihang really became an immortal, then is the Guanghan Palace we see true or false?"
Zhang Yuelu still did not give a definite answer, but an inference: "I tend to be true."
"Why?" Qi Xuansu also had this feeling, but there was no proof.
Zhang Yuelu said, "Think about it, if Zhang Wuhen steals the inheritance left by True Lord Taiyin, she can't enter Zixiao Palace to steal it. What does this mean? It means that the inheritance of True Lord Taiyin has always been under the control of Zhengdao.
Zhang Wuhen had an opportunity. After all, it was Master Yan Da who personally recruited True Lord Taiyin, and True Lord Ziguang found the Zhang family. If there was no contact between the two, how could there be any loopholes? My master is now
She is the number two person in Zhengdao. It is not difficult for her to get in touch with Guanghan Palace, the divine kingdom left by True Lord Taiyin. Of course, my master is not a god, so he may not be able to control Guanghan Palace, but just taking us on a wandering trip is enough.
You don’t have to be a god to do it.”
After listening to Zhang Yuelu's explanation, Qi Xuansu suddenly had a sense of understanding and enlightenment.
When Xuan Sheng established the Three Daos, he divided the labor between them, letting the Taiping Dao be in charge of the affairs of the human world, the Zhengdao in charge of the affairs of ghosts and gods, and the Quanzhen Dao in charge of the affairs of creation.
Qi Xuansu has a deep feeling for the creations of Quanzhen Taoism. Not to mention his "Heart of Immortality Stone", from "Emperor Shitian" to the three great Yin objects, and then to the "Eight Tribes", all kinds of creations are dazzling. Strictly
In other words, the "phoenix eye" series and the "dragon eye" series also come from the creation projects of Quanzhen Tao.
I also have a little understanding of the human affairs of Taiping Dao. After all, Taiping Dao has the deepest relationship with the Daxuan court. Many people from Taiping Dao serve in the court. Master Qingwei can even mobilize the Donghai Navy for joint operations. Even looking back in the past, whenever there is a rebellion,
Taipingdao is always the backbone.
Only the ghosts and gods of Zhengyi seem to have a weak sense of existence.
Now that I think about it, the Zhengyi Yitai can compete with the other two, and naturally it has its own background. When it comes to the inheritance of ancient immortals, most of them are under the control of the Zhengyi Yiyi, such as the inheritance of Taiyin Zhenjun, the Thirty-Six Thunder Gods, etc.
The original thirty-six thunder gods defeated many witch clans, and they may not be inferior to the creations of Quanzhen Tao. There are also
It is a spiritual official, which essentially relies on divine power and is also the category of ghosts and gods. Therefore, Tiangang Hall has always been the sphere of influence of Zhengyiyi.
Having said that, most of the spiritual officers of Tiangang Hall are stationed on the border of Daomen and belong to the border army. The real forbidden army, Kunlun Taoist Mansion, is mainly based on the lineage of the Grand Master, supplemented by the three Dao. However, under the Sixth Generation Grand Master
During this period, the authority of the Grand Master's lineage was greatly restricted, and the three Taoism had the opportunity to extend their hands to the Kunlun Taoist Mansion, and the situation became a situation where the three Taoism stood side by side.
The Kunlun Taoist Prefecture defends Yujing, and the key defense of Yujing is Beichen Hall. As one of the three upper halls, Beichen Hall is not only a counter-insurgency, but as simple as collecting intelligence. It is also a violent organization in itself, and some of its functions are similar to those in the West.
Ministry of Internal Affairs of each country.
If we compare it to the Imperial Capital, Kunlun Daofu is the Gyeonggi Camp and the Three Major Camps stationed outside the Imperial Capital, while Beichen Hall is the Five-City Soldiers and Horses Division, Qingluan Guards, and Yulin Army inside the city.
However, Beichen Hall is only responsible for the inside of Yujing City. After entering the Xuandu and Zifu areas, Zixiao Palace will be responsible for it. This is a three-layer defense. The outermost and innermost areas are all responsible for the lineage of the Grand Master, and the middle
Separated from Beichen Hall, Taiping Dao is in charge, and the family of the great masters will not be allowed to completely control Yujing.
This design was at least reasonable at the time. In any case, the Taiping Dao headed by the Li family was the orthodoxy that Xuansheng trusted most. The first Taiping Dao master was Xuansheng's wife, and the second Taiping Dao grandmaster was Xuan Sheng's wife.
Zhenren is the brother of Xuansheng, and the Li family can be said to be the direct descendants of Xuansheng, so they are often used as models by Xuansheng. No matter whether they are positive or negative, Xuansheng has no reason not to believe them. On the other hand, Quanzhen Taoism and Zhengyidao, the former
Yao Zu was playing double-dealing behind Xuan Sheng's back, and there were many internal factions and complex composition. The latter simply made a mess and deposed Tianshi, but they were far less reliable than Taiping Dao.
This system has gradually been abolished since the Sixth Generation of Grand Masters, and Beichen Hall's right to speak in Yujing's defense has further expanded.
It is foreseeable that if Master Donghua comes to power, the first thing he will do is to reduce the scope of power of Beichen Hall and restore the original situation. This means that the lineage of the Grand Master will regain some control of Kunlun Taoist Palace and Yujing.
But if Master Qingwei comes to power, how can he, who was born in Taiping Dao and Beichen Hall, reduce the power of his own family? Therefore, it is logical for the great leader's lineage to bet on Master Donghua.
It is conceivable how aggrieved the Grand Master's lineage has been in these years, competing against Jin Que.
Zixiao Palace is gone, Kunlun Taoist Mansion is gone, and even Xuandu and Zifu are about to be lost. Who hates the Sixth Generation Grand Master the most, it should be the Grand Master's lineage. Who misses it the most
The five generations of great sects should also be of the same lineage as the great sects.
When one is prosperous, both are prosperous; when one is lost, both are harmed.
Although the Grand Master is weak, it will give the Grand Master's lineage the opportunity to gain power from it, but it is not enough if it is too weak. After all, the Grand Master's lineage still essentially relies on the Grand Master's authority.
The two talked about Beichen Hall, and Zhang Yuelu said, "You know, there are rumors recently that Master Qingwei wants you to be the chief deputy head of Beichen Hall."
Qi Xuansu was startled, "How could it be me? Even if Li Yongyan is still not ready, such a big Taiping Road will never be unavailable. How could it be my turn?"
"Perhaps Master Qingwei thinks you are useful? After all, you performed well in Fenglinzhou." Zhang Yuelu said, "Besides, this time we are going to a foreign country, and we are on the front line. We are not arrogant in Yujing. Li
The noble sons of the family may not be willing to endure hardship. After all, the world has changed, and so have our ideas. In the past, only by enduring the most hardships can one become a master, but now, as long as one is willing to endure hardships, there will be endless hardships."
"Impossible." Qi Xuansu put on the posture of a hero who doesn't mention his former bravery, "You don't know that when I faced Master Qingwei alone, I made Master Qingwei very angry..."
"You? Faced with Master Qingwei alone, how can you still be angry with Master Qingwei?" Zhang Yuelu was doubtful, "Why? With your appearance of not kneeling?"
Qi Xuansu said, "At that time, I held Jianxiu Shanjia and other authority, backed by the Heavenly Master and the Earthly Master, with the 'Emperor Shitian' on the left and the 'Three Great Yin Things' on the right. Even if Qingwei Zhenren held the 'Mountain Whip'
But I have no choice but to watch helplessly as I take Yi Zang Ran Zun's body away, how can I not be angry?"
"You call this being alone?" Zhang Yuelu said suddenly.
Qi Xuansu waved his hand and said, "Who said you are alone only if you don't borrow someone's light?"
Zhang Yuelu said, "Okay, even if you have confronted Master Qingwei, now you have more reasons. Master Qingwei transferred you to his subordinates, just in time to retaliate.
"Not to mention whether Master Qingwei would do this, I went to Beichen Hall and was the chief deputy hall master, a Taoist priest under the jurisdiction of Jinque. Master Qingwei cannot avoid my duties, and I can also cause trouble for Master Qingwei." Qi Xuansu
He said, "This is like shooting yourself in the foot."
Zhang Yuelu said, "But what if you make a mistake? For example, leading to the complete failure of the New World Plan. For such a serious crime, killing your head is enough."
Qi Xuan
Su stopped talking for a moment, and after a moment he said, "In order to attack political opponents, he would not hesitate to harm the efforts of generations of Taoists. I don't think Qingwei Zhenren is such a character without foresight."
Zhang Yuelu said, "Master Qingwei may not stop you, and may even fully support you, but the situation there is too complicated and the situation is not optimistic. If Master Qingwei fully supports you and you still fail, then there will be more reasons to kill you."
.”
Qi Xuansu said thoughtfully, "I don't think so. Thinking about it on the other hand, just because the difficulty is extremely difficult, if I succeed, then..."
Zhang Yuelu said, "Then you are the youngest Master Shenzhi, there is no doubt."
Qi Xuansu clicked his tongue and said, "The greater the risk, the greater the reward. Do you want to take a gamble?"
Zhang Yuelu said, "Emotionally speaking, I don't want you to take the risk. It's too dangerous. From a utilitarian point of view, you are now facing a crisis, the future is uncertain, and the future is unclear. This kind of great contribution is close to opening up territory."
It’s a good breaking point. It’s just that it doesn’t matter what I think. If Master Qingwei insists on taking your general, and the reasons are legitimate and the procedures are proper, then you have to go even if you don’t want to.”
Qi Xuansu sighed, "If you don't have any control over others, when will you be able to take charge of your own affairs?"
"When you become the first Taoist priest." Zhang Yuelu smiled slightly.
Qi Xuansu murmured, "There is no emperor in Taoism. I am the first Taoist priest among all equal Taoist priests in Taoism."
Maybe Zhang Yuelu has the potential of a crow's mouth, which really makes her prophecy come true.
Early the next morning, Qi Xuansu received a notice that Master Qingwei was invited.
Qi Xuansu had no choice but to go to Beichen Hall to meet Master Qingwei.
Qi Xuansu did not expect that in just three days, he would meet with the top three Shenzhi masters in succession, and they would all have relatively in-depth conversations.
This honor is probably unique. After all, Master Donghua will not have a deep conversation with Li Changge, and Master Qingwei will not have a deep conversation with Zhang Yuelu.
When Qi Xuansu came to Beichen Hall, Shen Yuqing, secretary of Master Qingwei, was already waiting, with the same enthusiasm as when he was in Fenglinzhou.
Qi Xuansu had no choice but to be polite with the secretary. People who are close to power may not have power, but they can influence power, which should not be underestimated.
After the greetings, Shen Yuqing led Qi Xuansu to Qingwei Zhenren's signing room.
Master Qingwei is still the same as before, he is the youngest among the three masters.
