Qi Xuansu interrupted Qi Haoran slightly, "Master Wanmiao, since Qi Haoran is your cousin, why doesn't Fellow Daoist Qi know who Qi Haoran is?"
Qi Haoran said, "The reason is very simple. Qi Haoran's real name was not this. He changed his name to Qi Haoran after he left the Qi family and entered Zhengyi. Only a few people knew about this. The Qi family had always announced that he was dead, so Mu Yu did not
I don’t know that Qi Haoran is her brother. Since his name has been changed, I’ll still call him Qi Haoran.”
Qi Xuansu nodded, "That's it."
Qi Haoran went on to say, "The reason why it is a vulgar story is that it is the same old story, where the hero has a hard time passing the beauty test. Although Qi Haoran is not a hero, he can't pass the beauty test either. He met a woman by chance." .??
.
When Qi Xuansu heard this, he felt an inexplicable fear in his heart.
Could this woman be Qiniang? After all, Qiniang also used the pseudonym Qi Jiayao.
That's really vulgar.
"This woman's name is Zhou Mengyao." Qi Jiaozheng's next words made Qi Xuansu breathe a sigh of relief. It would be better if she wasn't Qiniang, otherwise it would be so interesting to go round and round and have the master become a godfather.
Qi Xuansu asked, "Who is this Zhou Mengyao? I have never heard of him."
Qi Jiao Zhengdao: "After all, you are young, and you may not know all the things that are going on like sesame seeds and rotting millet. Strictly speaking, this Zhou Mengyao is a seventh-generation disciple of the Taoist sect, but like Qiniang, she has been
She left the Taoist sect, so her rank in the Taoist sect is not high, and she has no specific position, so she is a wild Taoist priest."
This situation is not surprising, not only Qiniang, but also Patriarch Jin Gong were all wild Taoist priests.
Patriarch Jin Gong once said that when he was young, he went to Jinling Prefecture and lived in Zhenwu Temple. But he just stayed for two days when he was invited out by the Taoist temple, saying that a spiritual master was coming. About evening
, a team of spiritual officers came, inspected the interior of the Taoist temple, and then set up various formations. Finally, a flying boat came and landed in Zhenwu Lake. In such a large flying boat, there was only one Master Shenzhi and a few of his followers.
Master Shenzhi walked down the ramp of the flying boat, and everyone saluted him. It was really impressive. At that time, Patriarch Jin Gong determined that a true man should be like this.
Due to some historical issues, Patriarch Jin Gong found it difficult to get ahead in the Taoist sect, so he created the "Tianting", which is not to learn about the true person, but to learn about the true person.
It is precisely because of the existence of people like Patriarch Jin Gong that others dare not underestimate the wild Taoist priests. Every time a Taoist sect expands its personnel, the first target is the wild Taoist priests of all walks of life. The disadvantage is that the wild Taoist priests are unorganized and undisciplined, and they are used to being lax. The advantage is that the wild Taoist priests are unorganized and undisciplined.
The wild Taoist priest is really capable,
After all, wild Taoist priests have no Taoist backing. They are like waves on the sand. They have experienced wind and rain. Those who are not capable are eliminated early, and the rest are elites.
This is also one of the reasons why Taoist sects have begun to try to normalize some secret societies in recent years, and wild Taoists play a very important role in this.
Qi Xuansu followed the path of a wild Taoist priest at the beginning. He only had the rank of a seventh-grade Taoist priest and no position. Later, Qiniang changed her mind and asked him to apply for the Tiangang Hall. After spending hundreds of money, he became a Taoist priest.
A glorious Tiangangtang Taoist priest, able to serve the Taoist sect.
From this point of view, Zhou Mengyao is a wild Taoist priest, so it does not seem to be a big problem. After all, a wild Taoist priest is also a Taoist priest, and he is not a cult monster, so he would not cause Qi Haoran to run away from home.
Qi Jiao seemed to see Qi Xuansu's doubts, and then said, "Tianyuan, you should know about the Qingpinghui."
Qi Xuansu didn't show it on his face, but his heart was tense.
He was very familiar with Qingpinghui. A few years ago, he was still fighting for both Daomen and Qingpinghui, and he had to be tough on both hands. However, in the past two years, Qi Xuansu has become more developed, so he has completely shifted his focus to Daomen.
Don't worry about the Qingping Association anymore.
To this day, he is still a member of the Qingping Association.
When Qi Jiaozheng suddenly mentioned the Qingping Meeting, Qi Xuansu was not surprised. He thought Qi Jiao was ordering him.
It's just that Qi Xuansu couldn't show any signs of it on his face, and he still looked calm, "Of course I know that some secret societies have been normalized this time, and the Qingping Society is among them."
Qi Jiaozheng said, "It has become normalized now, but at that time, the Qingping Society was still a taboo, and Zhou Mengyao was the senior leader of the Qingping Society. Unlike the Taoist sect, the Qingping Society has nine grades and twelve levels. There are only four levels, A, B, C, and D.
The first-class members are the top leaders of the Qingping Association, excluding the president. The Privy Council consists of six first-class members, each with one vote, who decide various major matters within the Qingping Association. There are also a number of non-involved first-class members who form the review committee.
The Privy Council supervises and assists the Privy Council in managing various affairs of the Qingping Council. The six members of the Privy Council do not appear together. They often elect one person to preside over various matters on behalf of the six-member Privy Council."
Qi Xuansu thought to himself, "If others don't know, how can I not know? Qiniang is now representing the Privy Council and presiding over the daily work of the Qingping Conference."
But thinking of this, Qi Xuansu couldn't help but feel a move in his heart.
Sure enough, come around
After going around, we still ended up at the Qingping Meeting.
Many things that were originally shrouded in fog gradually revealed their outlines.
Qi Xuansu said, "What Wanmiao Zhenren means is that Zhou Mengyao is one of the members of the Six-person Privy Council. As far as I know, the six-member Privy Council all use the name of the Cipai as their code name. For example, the current Cipai name of the person in charge is 'Seven Niangzi'"
', I wonder what the name of Zhou Mengyao's Ci brand is? Maybe I've heard of it."
It cannot be said that everyone knows about Qiniang, at least it is not a secret among the higher-ups of the Taoist sect. Qi Jiaozheng must know it, and Qi Xuansu does not need to cover it up and pretend that he does not know. It would be a lack of sincerity.
Qi Jiao Zhengdao "Her Ci brand name is 'Qing Ping Tiao'."
Qi Xuansu was startled.
As a senior member of the Qingping Association, Qi Xuansu certainly knows the name "Qingping Diao". Sometimes, this name represents the leader of the association, and sometimes, this name represents the future leader or deputy leader.
If we take Buddhism as an example, the leader is the current Buddha, then "Qing Ping Tiao" is the future Buddha.
Qi Jiao Zhengdao "It seems that Tianyuan knew about it. The Qingping Society was first established by Xuansheng with the purpose of fighting against Confucianism, so it is not surprising that many senior Taoists were members of the Qingping Society. The name of the word brand used by Xuansheng at that time was'
Qingpingle', the so-called 'Mr. Qingping' also comes from this. There are others, such as Mrs. Xuansheng, whose name is 'Jincuo Dao'. The situation at that time was more complicated and the future was unpredictable. Xuansheng made
I was prepared for a long-term struggle, and even considered the unexpected situation that I would encounter, so I set up a 'Qingping Diao' as my successor."
"Normally speaking, after Xuansheng, no one would use the name 'Qing Ping Le' anymore, and all future guild leaders should use the name 'Qing Ping Diao'. But you also know what happened later. Taoism defeated Confucianism.
Xuansheng believed that the Taoist sect was on the right track and no longer needed secret societies such as the Qingping Society and the Inn, so he decided to abolish them all. However, the interests involved in such an important organization must be very important, and some people will definitely be dissatisfied. Abolition of Creation
After the project, eight tribes were cut out, and it would not be that simple to abolish the Qingping Hui and the 'Inn', so after Xuansheng passed away, the 'Inn' and the Qingping Hui reappeared."
Qi Xuansu remained silent.
Of course he knew that it was three generations of earth masters who rebuilt the Qingping Society, which again connected with the Yao family.
Although after three generations of earth masters, the Yao family gradually faded out of the Qingping Society, the return of Qiniang to power seems to mean that the Yao family has never relaxed its control.
The control of Qingpinghui.
In this way, the secret association power of the Three Ways is actually the last of the Li family. It was not until the period of the fifth generation disciples that the sixth generation disciple Jin Gong established the "Tianting". The Zhang family was the earliest, and the Ziguang Society can be traced back to the Xuansheng era. Yao
My home is right between the two houses.
Xuan Sheng said that Taiping Dao is the most loyal, and it is not unreasonable.
Qi Xuansu asked, "As far as I know, the first generation of 'Qingping Diao' also had the surname Zhou. What does this have to do with Zhou Mengyao?"
"You guessed it right." Qi Jiaozheng gave an affirmative reply, "Zhou Mengyao is the descendant of the first generation of 'Qingping Diao'. Of course, I know what you want to ask Tianyuan. This first generation of 'Qingping Diao'
'Married to the Shen family, her descendants should be named Shen."
"However, our Taoist sect is very civilized. Looking around the world, women must take their husband's surname after getting married. But in our Taoist sect, women do not need to take their husband's surname. Not only do they not need to take their husband's surname, but their children do not need to take their father's surname.
.For example, the descendants of Shangguan Patriarch are divided into three branches, namely Zhang, Xu, and Shangguan."
"However, Zhou Mengyao's surname is Zhou, not Shen. It really does not mean the first generation's 'Qing Ping Diao', but it means Xuansheng abolished the Qingping Society, and her descendants were dissatisfied. When Xuansheng passed away, she changed her surname back to Zhou.
Emphasizing his mother's family is nothing more than emphasizing the inheritance rights of Qingpinghui. In the end, he reached an agreement with three generations of earth masters to jointly rebuild Qingpinghui. The earth masters were the bosses at the back, the Zhou family were the shopkeepers in the front, and his descendants were also around.
The surname is Zhou from generation to generation."
"This incident caused some turmoil within the Taoist sect. At that time, the third generation of Earth Masters was hiding behind the scenes. Firstly, few people knew about it. Secondly, even if they knew, they did not dare to directly point their sword at the second generation of Earth Masters. The Shen family's attitude towards their own family
The rebellion was particularly infuriating. The Li family stood up for the Shen family and took advantage of this to include the Qingping Society, an organization founded by Xuan Sheng, on the list of secret societies, and launched a large-scale encirclement and suppression campaign. Although with the secret support of the Earth Master, the Qingping Society finally survived.
After that, the Zhou family still retained their status as Taoist priests, but the Zhou family still had problems left over from history."
Qi Xuansu probably understood that this Zhou Mengyao was a bit similar to Zhang Wuhen and had historical issues, so Qi Haoran and Zhou Mengyao being together would naturally cut off Qi Haoran's career in Taoism.
As mentioned before, Qi Jiaozheng valued his brother Qi Haoran very much and invested a lot of resources and energy in him to pave the way for him. As a result, his official career was cut off. You can imagine Qi Jiaozheng's anger.
This would probably be the case if Qi Xuansu was placed in Qi Jiaozheng's position.
Then it would be logical for the two brothers to fall out and Qi Haoran to leave the Qi family.
