From Jiangling Prefecture to Shangqing Prefecture, you can go by water or land. However, Shibotang's ship does not go to Wuzhou, so Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu can only take the land route.
The two of them went straight to Wuzhou non-stop. During these days, they rarely stayed in the busy thoroughfares of big cities. They either camped in the wilderness or stayed in some Taoist temples outside the city until they entered Wuzhou.
After that, he slowed down.
After all, this is the core sphere of influence of Zhengyiyi, and it is relatively safe. Who would provoke the grandchildren of the Tianshi without opening their eyes under the eyes of the Zhang family? Although it is actually the Earthly Master who values Zhang Yuelu more, but in the eyes of outsiders who do not know the inside story,
Come on, Zhang Yuelu is still a child of the Zhang family, a disciple of the same family, and was given the name by the Heavenly Master himself. She must love this grandchild very much. If anything happens to her in Wuzhou, it will be the Zhang family's face that will be disgraced.
Wuzhou is located in the southeast, bordering Jiangzhou in the east, Lingnan in the south, Xiaozhou in the west, Luzhou in the north, lakes and rivers, and has been the land of Qianyue since ancient times.
The land of righteousness, the land of white cranes, fish and rice. The entire Wuzhou Chengxuan Administration Department has jurisdiction over thirteen prefectures and seventy-eight counties. ??
Shangqing Palace is one of the Thirteen Palaces. As the name suggests, in addition to believing in Taishang Taoist ancestors, Zhengyi also worships Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun. Less than two miles away from Dazhen Palace is Shangqing Palace, so this palace is
It was named after Zhengyiyi. There are also Shangqing County and Shangqing Town in Shangqing Prefecture. The entire Shangqing Town is owned by Zhengyiyi. Many remote descendants of the Zhang family are distributed in Shangqing County, which is not enough to live in Dazhen.
The descendants of Xiaozong in the mansion live in Shangqing Town.
Although Shangqing Prefecture and Shangqing County had magistrates and county magistrates set up by the imperial court, it was the Zhang family who really had the final say, just like the sage mansions in Qizhou.
However, after entering Wuzhou, there is still quite a distance from Shangqing Prefecture. At this time, Qi and Zhang are located in Fenning County, Xunyang Prefecture, which is located in the northwest of Wuzhou and is the closest county to Jiangling Prefecture.
Approaching the county seat of Fenning County, Zhang Yuelu calculated the time: "Today is November 20th. I'm not in a hurry to go to Shangqing Mansion. It happens that a cousin of mine got married here, so I can drop by to visit."
Qi Xuansu's expression suddenly became unnatural: "Is this necessary?"
"Of course it is necessary." Zhang Yuelu said, "Since you have decided to see my mother, then we will try to do our best. I thought about it and decided that it would not be appropriate to ask you to see my mother directly. So before that,
There can be a small transition rehearsal."
"Preview." Qi Xuansu's face froze.
Zhang Yuelu explained: "My cousin has some similarities with my mother in temperament."
Qi Xuansu coughed lightly and asked, "How is your relationship with this cousin?"
"Not bad." Zhang Yuelu thought for a while, "She was also in Yujing in the past. When I first arrived in Yujing, I received a lot of care from her. I often interacted with her and we were able to talk to each other. Later, because of some things, she left
After leaving Yujing, I returned to Wuzhou, and then I got married. I didn’t even live in the prefectural city, but in the county town.”
"I didn't wait for Yujing, so I ran to the county seat? Do you know how much effort it took me to return to Yujing? Why do I feel that the gap between the rich and the poor is wider than the gap between humans and monsters?
"Qi Xuansu said casually, "Also, you said something happened. Could it be that you were hurt by love?"
"How do you know?" Zhang Yuelu asked in surprise.
"Is it true?" Qi Xuansu was also a little surprised, "That's what the story says. After being hurt by love, you lose your soul and don't want anything."
Zhang Yuelu sighed: "Although it is not good to talk about people behind their backs, since I have mentioned it here, I will briefly mention it to you so that you can be aware of it. Although my cousin has the same surname as me, she has the same surname as Zhang.
I am from a large sect, but I am only from a small sect. If I were not better qualified, became a disciple of my master, and was appreciated by the earth master, I would definitely not be able to compare with her. For example, if the Zhang family is regarded as the royal family, then she is considered to be the royal family.
Princess, I’m probably not even the princess, I can only be regarded as the county lord.”
"The daughter of the Zhang family." Qi Xuansu summed it up concisely and concisely, "The kind who can easily reward me with thousands of peace coins."
Zhang Yuelu rolled his eyes at him: "You just remember this, right?"
Zhang Yuelu once said to Qi Xuansu: "If I were the eldest daughter of the Zhang family, and had a grandfather who was a heavenly master, he would reward you with thousands of peace coins, so that you would not fall into the eyes of money all day long."
Qi Xuansu smiled and said: "Who made me fall in the eyes of money?"
Zhang Yuelu continued: "This cousin has had a smooth life since she was a child. She went to Yujing very early and lived in Taishangfang."
"Taishangfang." Qi Xuansu interrupted, "I remember you also have a residence in Taishangfang? You said it was transferred to you by an elder."
Zhang Yuelu blinked: "You still remember, the house in Taishangfang was originally hers. After she left Yujing, she gave it to me in the name of Tianshi. I only found out later. After all, Tianshi
What kind of person, how could this happen?
I don’t care about these trivial things. But I don’t live there. I usually live in Xuandu, which is closer to Beichen Hall and Tiangang Hall.”
"Xuandu." Qi Xuansu interrupted again, "This is the first time I know that you actually live in Xuandu. But in retrospect, the first time we met was in Taiqing Square, and you did go to Xuandu when you left.
We walked in the same direction, not Taishangfang, and I actually forgot about this."
Zhang Yuelu said with a smile: "I originally wanted to get along with you as Tantaichu. But I didn't expect that you would join Tiangang Hall. So I stopped pretending and could only use my identity as Zhang Yuelu. You have to thank me, yes
I personally approve your entry into Tiangang Hall."
Qi Xuansu laughed.
He suddenly remembered that he also had another identity, Wei Wugui, the "Golden Crossed Sword".
Zhang Yuelu suppressed his smile and said seriously: "Don't interrupt, listen to what I'm talking about. After my cousin arrived in Yujing, she naturally joined the Jiutang position. Although we have a good relationship, from my perspective, she also
I am a Taoist priest in the garden, far inferior to you, so I never entered Beichen Hall, Tiangang Hall, or even Tianji Hall because I felt it was too hard and tiring. I first went to the Ancestral Hall, then to the Duzhi Hall, and finally to the Ziwei Hall."
Qi Xuansu said: "Thank you, thank you."
Zhang Yuelu said to herself: "Later, she met a person who, like you, worked in Tiangang Hall. He was born in Wanxiang Taoist Palace. He didn't know who his parents were. His only master also passed away long ago."
Qi Xuansu touched his chin: "From this point of view, you two sisters have very similar tastes."
Before he finished speaking, Qi Xuansu was lightly kicked in the crook of the leg by Zhang Yuelu.
Zhang Yuelu said lightly: "What do you mean by my taste? I find that you have been much bolder recently, and you always dare to talk nonsense in front of me."
Qi Xuansu coughed lightly: "I just said it casually."
Zhang Yuelu glanced at him, and then said: "You two are still different. You are a small rich man, and you wish you could become a fourth-grade wine-provoking Taoist priest and then retire to the mountains and live a leisurely life. But that man is very ambitious and uses his own
In other words, we want to create a huge empire in the world."
"A person who aspires to be a great leader has the nerve to say that others are ambitious?" Qi Xuansu clicked his tongue, "Besides, I also want to wear the Sword of Wisdom, but I just don't have the ability."
"Shut up." Zhang Yuelu finally couldn't help it anymore and stretched out his hand to grab Qi Xuansu's ears, "I am determined to be a great leader because I want to change the Taoism. It has nothing to do with ambition.
Guan. If you can change the Taoist sect, I can also assist you to become a great leader. But that person is different. He does it for his own selfish desires and does so by any means. He buys people's hearts, corrupts the Taoist sect's atmosphere, uses power for personal gain, and digs out the foundation of the Taoist sect.
Don’t use it to the extreme.”
Speaking of this, Zhang Yuelu suddenly remembered something, let go of his hand, and looked Qi Xuansu up and down.
Qi Xuansu was a little confused by her look: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Zhang Yuelu looked at him carefully and said with a straight face: "I suddenly remembered that you are quite good at using some 'humane' means to climb all the way to Tiangang Hall. You must be such a person."
"Unjustly accused!" Qi Xuansu immediately said anxiously, "How could it be related to me when talking about others? When it comes to 'human nature', it was also suggested by those Taoist priests. I will not take the initiative to give money to others. Could it be that Sun Yongfeng
Are you also an ambitious person? Besides, my achievements are the result of fighting through fire and water, and there is no falsehood at all."
Zhang Yuelu suddenly smiled: "Look at you, it looks like your tail has been stepped on."
Qi Xuansu was afraid of getting burned, so he didn't dare to interrupt.
Zhang Yuelu saw that he seemed to be intimidated by her, so he continued: "This kind of man always fascinates many women who have no experience in the world, and my cousin became his entry point in a daze.
After that man became famous, many other women came forward, hoping to make further progress through such an upstart in the Taoist sect. He did not refuse anyone who came, no matter how fragrant or smelly he was, he kept them all in his room."
When he said this, Zhang Yuelu secretly paid attention to Qi Xuansu's expression.
Qi Xuansu didn't show any envy, he just said: "In the eyes of others, am I the same as these women, hoping to take a step further through you, the upstart of the Taoist sect?"
Zhang Yuelu is a little helpless. Normal men would either envy or despise him. Why is it that Qi Xuansu's thinking is always different from ordinary people's? Who taught him to be like this?
Zhang Yuelu finally said: "This kind of thing can't be contained by paper, but my cousin still knows about it. If this kind of thing happened to me, then I would definitely chop off that person's head with my own hands. But my cousin
My sister still had a chance and asked the man to make a choice, choose her or another woman, and wanted to forgive him. But the man shamelessly said that he wanted my cousin to become bigger, and then my cousin gave up. Not only
In a fit of anger, I severed all contact with him and left Yujing."
Qi Xuansu made no comment and just touched his neck with his hand.
