Qi Xuansu roughly summarized what Qi Jiaozheng was talking about.
Back then, Zhou Shuning, the first generation of "Qing Ping Tiao", married Shen Changsheng, the head of the Shen family. They were both celebrities in the Taoist sect and were on the Xuansheng card.
Later, Xuansheng abolished the Qingping Society. There was no second generation of "Qingping Diao". As the first generation of "Qingping Diao", Zhou Shuning did not object to this matter. However, Zhou Shuning's son Shen Qingchen was very angry about this because he He has always regarded himself as the successor of Qingpinghui, and he suffered the biggest loss when Qingpinghui was abolished. He was just intimidated by Xuansheng's prestige and did not dare to reveal anything.
After Xuansheng passed away, Taiping Dao, headed by the Li family, supported Xuansheng the most. Any decision made by Xuansheng could not be violated in the slightest. This was the biggest right of the Taoist sect. Shen Qingchen saw that Taiping Dao would not In order to help him, he colluded with the three generations of Quanzhen Taoists and began to secretly prepare to rebuild the Qingping Society.
It is worth mentioning that the third generation earth master is not the third generation disciple.
A Taoist disciple is counted as a disciple in twenty-four years, but this system is actually only implemented with the third generation of disciples. The first two generations of disciples involve too many elders who rebuilt the Taoist sect, and the age is still quite confusing. For example, Shi Hengbo, although he is a second-generation disciple, First-generation disciples, but in fact they are much older than Yao Zu. There are also second-generation disciples who were recruited by the first-generation disciples in their later years and were very young. Therefore, these two generations of disciples cannot be counted as one generation in twenty-four years. They are basically the same generation. A confusing account.
And because Xuansheng had a replacement of the deputy head master during his term. For example, in Taipingdao, Donghuang replaced Mrs. Xuansheng, who was the brother-in-law and sister-in-law. Another example is Zhengyiyi, Yan Feiqing replaced Zhang Luanshan, and the two were There is no need to talk about the relationship between senior masters and Quanzhen Taoists. The three masters of the first two generations are all from the same generation, so the third generation of earth masters are actually the second generation disciples. In other words, the great master and the third master are out of sync. , the Grand Master may only be in his seventh term, and the Third Division is far more than his seventh term.
To rebuild the Qingping Society, three generations of local masters contributed manpower and material resources, but they could not come forward, so they could only hide behind the scenes. Shen Qingchen stepped in to run the Qingping Society. In order to show his legitimacy, Shen Qingchen changed his name to Zhou Qingchen, which was tantamount to treason. After leaving the Shen family and Taiping Road, he became the second generation "Qingping Diao". This is the origin of the Zhou family.
The Shen family has always been a member of the Taiping Tao, so Zhou Qingchen cooperated with the Earth Master of the Quanzhen Tao, so he was naturally regarded as a traitor to the family and the Taoism, which led to various things that happened later.
At that time, the Li family did not have a "Heavenly Court", and they were the most self-sufficient of the three, firmly occupying the moral high ground, and finally passed a resolution to characterize the Zhou family. This is also the origin of the Zhou family's historical problems.
Zhou Mengyao is a descendant of Zhou Qingchen, and he is also burdened with this kind of historical problem. The Taoist sect does not want to be implicated only in the case of murder, but in other aspects it is still necessary to be implicated.
Now that the policy is relaxed, it does not mean that things in the past can be reversed.
Chapter overturned.
Zhou Qingchen's biggest problem is not that he formed a secret association, nor that he betrayed Taiping Dao, but that he went against Xuansheng's decision, and even openly opposed Xuansheng. Even three generations of earth masters could not handle this big hat. , can only be hidden behind the scenes. So even if we start to overturn the case now, it will be very difficult and difficult to pass.
Even if the Qingping Association normalizes and becomes a normal association, the crime of opposing Xuan Sheng may not be eliminated. These are two different things, and this is also a matter of principle.
Therefore, when it comes to Zhou Mengyao's generation, although they retain their identity as Taoist priests, they can only become wild Taoist priests. This is different from Qiniang. Qiniang wants to be a wild Taoist priest subjectively. She wants to follow the orthodox route, and no one
Stop her. Zhou Mengyao can only become a wild Taoist priest and has no choice. Of course, Zhou Mengyao can also throw away his identity as a Taoist priest, but it will be difficult to get it back. This is their opportunity to reverse the case. The Zhou family still
I want to return to the Taoist temple.
In Zhou Mengyao's case, if Qi Haoran got involved with her, his career would definitely be cut off.
Because the Taoist sect has a background check, which is a mechanism established by the ancient immortals after they sneaked into Yujing, to prevent external forces from infiltrating the Taoist sect. This power is not in the hands of Beichen Tang, but in the hands of Ziweitang. In other words, Ziweitang
The focus is on prevention, while Beichen Hall focuses on remediation. The two do not overlap and are considered two lines of defense.
When Qi Xuansu entered Tiangang Hall, he was scrutinized, including his mentorship, spouse, parents' background, and past experiences, and was handed over to Zhang Yuelu.
Zhang Yuelu really saw some clues from this background check, which almost frightened Qi Xuansu at the time.
Don't forget, Qi Xuansu was only a seventh-grade Taoist priest at that time, and he just went to Tiangang Hall to be a soldier. This was just the most basic background check. The higher you go, the more stringent the background check becomes.
In this regard, children of aristocratic families have a huge advantage. Looking at the background check, it is found that their parents, brothers, spouses and elders are all high-level Taoists, otherwise they are not called "genzheng". This is also the reason why many heirs of big families do not do dirty work. They
If the files are to be kept clean, the dirty work must be taken over by those family members who have no hope of success.
As for why Qi Xuansu did not encounter any review problems later, it was because he went to Ziweitang and Donghua took over. Ziweitang was responsible for background checks. As the headmaster, Donghua had no choice but to modify Qi Xuansu’s files.
It's easy to say it's a piece of cake. If Master Donghua says there's no problem, then there's no problem.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Qi Xuansu was a young man at that time.
It's related to a character, so it's easy to operate if no one follows him. When someone follows him, he can only see his new profile.
But the Zhou family is different. This is a public case, and it can be said that everyone knows it. Let alone Donghua Zhenren coming, even the big leader will find it difficult to operate in private. It must be brought to the table.
When it comes to the table, it involves Xuan Sheng. If it weighs a thousand pounds, it's hard to say.
Because of this, Qi Haoran's affairs were very complicated, and Qi Jiaozheng could not help him. He could only watch his brother drift away, and all his efforts were in vain.
After Qi Xuansu cleared his thoughts, he asked, "How did the two of them meet?"
Qi Jiaozheng replied, "Tianyuan, you should know that our Taoist sect attaches great importance to grassroots experience. If I want to promote him, I have to send him down for training first. It can also be called 'gilding'. The best place is of course Shuzhou."
, but in order to avoid suspicion, I still let him go to Zhongzhou. It was during this period of decentralization that he met Zhou Mengyao. As for how they met, I don’t know. Was it someone else who approached him intentionally, or was he really like himself?
As said, it was just a chance acquaintance, and I still can't be sure. By the time I found out about it, the deal was already done, and their story had already spread."
Qi Xuansu could hear the deep helplessness in Qi Jiaozheng's tone.
This is also understandable. If it were him, he would send Xiao Yin to Jiangnan Daofu for some training, and then after not seeing him for a while, Xiao Yin would take back a character similar to Wu Guangbi, and he would also go crazy...??.
Who can bear this?
If Zhou Mengyao really entered the Qi family's home, there would also be problems with the background checks of the rest of the Qi family.
It’s not that your parents want to be autocratic. The family is for me, and I am for the family. I have to consider it from the standpoint of the family. I don’t ask you to revive the family, but at least don’t hold back.
Qi Jiaozheng sighed, "I have talked with him several times and advised him to break off this bad relationship and correct his mistakes. I can help him mediate and maybe there will be some improvement. But he is stubborn and wants to follow Zhou."
Mengyao was together, and I even approached Yao Yi and Yao Shu to ask them to take charge of the Zhou family, but in the end it was nothing. So, our two brothers completely broke up, and I expelled him from the Qi family in anger.
, he also changed his name, the Quanzhen Taoism could not accommodate him, and the Taiping Taoism would not want him, so he went to the Zhengyi Taoism."
Qi Xuansu can probably understand why Zhengyiyi took Qi Haoran in, because the Zhang family also had historical problems. In order to solve this problem, Zhang Wushou paid a huge price. He had no Taoist companions, no children, and even his own sister was killed with one sword. The real
The lonely person.
In this way,
Many things can be explained.
Why does Qi Jianyuan think Qi Haoran is in the wrong? From the perspective of the Qi family, Qi Haoran has indeed failed the family.
Why do the Qi family want to say that Qi Haoran is dead? Because this incident is too bad and may also affect other people in the Qi family. They should simply remove Qi Haoran and pretend that this person does not exist.
Why was Qi Jiaozheng so secretive about this before? It was only a matter of one party that the family scandal should not be publicized. More importantly, the fact that he was his own mother might affect his official career.
But there are still some things that cannot be explained.
Qi Xuansu asked again, "If this is the case, then where did Qi Haoran's immortal cultivation come from?"
If Qi Haoran had achieved immortal cultivation early on, then it is impossible that few high-level people in the Taoist sect would know about Qi Haoran, and it would also be impossible for him to be expelled immediately, and it would not be Qi Jiaozheng's turn to promote Qi Haoran.
Moreover, Taoism is very tolerant towards immortals. Master Landa has always been indifferent, Wang Jiaohe is in charge, Lingshan Witch Cult and Zhiming Sect have colluded with Buddhism to cause trouble. If we look closely, they are all inseparable from Master Landa, but Taoism governs Lan
Did Da Zhenren commit a crime of oversight and dereliction of duty? In the end, rewards will be given based on merit. Not only did Zhen Da Zhen Lan make no mistakes, he actually made meritorious deeds.
The key is that Landa Zhenren is not greedy for power, stays away from high-level struggles, and has the highest combat power. No matter who is the chief leader, he likes such an immortal. What does a small mistake count? He is a Taoist senior who is hard-working and highly respected.
What happened to the small mistake? Is it so unacceptable?
There is a lot of room for so-called strict standards, it all depends on how you say it. The same standard is completely wrong for people. Different people will have different results for the same thing.
If Qi Haoran was an immortal, then Zhou Mengyao's matter wouldn't have been so ugly, and there would be plenty of room for change.
It can be seen that when Qi Haoran broke with Qi Jiaozheng, he was not an immortal or a pseudo-immortal, and his cultivation level was only mediocre.
So what was the opportunity that allowed him to suddenly become a suspected corpse-resolving immortal in such a short period of time?
What happened during this time?
This is the key to solving the mystery.
Qi Jiaozheng smiled bitterly, "I also want to know what happened, but it must have nothing to do with the Qi family. If the Qi family has such ability, wouldn't it be better for me to be an immortal myself? I can also compete with Taoist Brother Xuanji in the big game.
It’s time to take the title of headmaster.”
Qi Xuansu said thoughtfully, "In other words, Qi Haoran only gained immortal cultivation after leaving the Qi family, and it is probably related to Zhou Mengyao."
