Tantai Ying imitated Westerners and shrugged, spreading his hands, "I don't know either."
Qi Xuansu didn't expect Tantai Ying to answer. If she had known, she wouldn't have said that all she had were fragments.
But when it comes to heaven, Qi Xuansu thinks of Paititi, not the new Paititi that exists as the capital of Tawanting, but Paititi in the narrow sense, also known as the Lost City, Forgotten
City, the land of gold.
A long time ago, Qi Xuansu got a map about Paititi from Wang Jiaohe. It is said that it contains the secret of Kukulkan, which can make the pseudo-immortal ascend to immortality.
Because Qi Xuansu has the "Heart of the Immortal Stone", he is not so eager to pursue immortality. In addition, he is really busy with his affairs and has no time to spare, so he has never started looking for this legendary city. .??.
Later, Qi Xuansu got a special "key" from "Baron" Ramon in St. York, which was also said to be related to Paititi, and also related to Kukulkan and Ixichel.
Now it seems that it should be related to Itsumna and Ixichel, but arrogance is nature, and outsiders have no intention of deeply understanding the origins of these ancient gods, so they mistakenly identify Kukulkan and Itsumna.
Confused.
It is not even possible to rule out the possibility that Wang Jiaohe also confused the two.
After all, when Qi Xuansu first arrived in the New World, he didn't realize that there was a Sun God before Kukulkan. It was only after he met Ixichel that he gradually realized this problem.
For Qi Xuansu, there is one more clue and many more questions. It is a mess.
Then Tantai Ying led Qi Xuansu to the place where the files are stored. The files of the "Shadow Case" were piled up here. Tantai Ying's management was more meticulous. She had divided them into categories and even compiled a catalog. This was how she could quickly summarize them.
The reason why a summary was given to Qi Xuansu.
If Qi Xuansu wanted to know more details, he would look for them in these files.
Take the case of the missing condor as an example. The personal file information of each missing condor can be detailed. In addition to name, age, and experience, it also includes a family background investigation. It can be said to be very detailed.
There is also the case of Kamakai Island. Although it is impossible for the Juesheng Church to have information about everyone, some important figures on the island, including the situation of the missing merchant ship, are also recorded in detail.
Qi Xuansu flipped through the pages without looking at them bit by bit. After all, he is the chief deputy hall master of Beichen Hall, so there is no reason to sit here and read the files slowly by himself. Since Huangfuji has already agreed, it is very convenient for him to do so.
It can no longer be said that there is a shortage of manpower, so it is natural for Juesheng Church to organize a group of manpower to further organize and refine various information in the dossier.
, and then provide corresponding information to Qi Xuansu in a targeted manner based on Qi Xuansu’s ideas and requirements.
However, Qi Xuansu did not stop reading completely. He relied on Sanren's memory after his rebirth and browsed through the details of many cases at a speed of almost one glance. Compared with Tantai Ying's summary, it was naturally much more detailed.
This also allowed Qi Xuansu to discover some details that he had not noticed before. For example, the appearance of the shadow was not without warning. In fact, it can be described as the wind rises at the end of Qingping, but many times, the attention of those in power is not here, or
They are simply insensitive and do not realize the coming of the shadow at all, so when the shadow accumulates to a certain critical point and finally explodes, they will feel it suddenly.
At the same time, Qi Xuansu also read the blood book of the Divine Eagle Guard. Unlike the photocopy, the actual blood book gave Qi Xuansu a completely different feeling. It was like a talisman.
Words have power, so the West has developed various rune scrolls, and the East has talismans, all of which work through the power of words.
This blood letter also gave Qi Xuansu a similar feeling.
However, the power in the blood book is like a candle in the wind, mixed with divine power, and is almost undetectable. If Qi Xuansu did not have his own divine domain, he would not be able to sense it.
As we all know, Xidaomen mainly has the two major traditions of Qi Lianshi and Wufu, and there are almost no witchcraft. It is reasonable that the people of Juesheng Church did not find out.
In the blink of an eye, at night, Gong Fu, the second-largest figure in Xidaomen, sent an invitation to Qi Xuansu. Qi Xuansu had to temporarily interrupt his investigation and go to the banquet.
This dinner was hosted by Gong Fu himself. Although Tantai Zhenxiao, Huangfu Zhao and others did not show up, it was still of a very high standard.
The reason is not complicated. It is just to thank Qi Xuansu and the powerful Taoists behind Qi Xuansu for speaking out for Xidaomen in the Jinque discussion.
This move somewhat means that Qi Xuansu is tied to the chariot. However, in today's environment where the left and right centrists are the first to be unlucky, Qi Xuansu is not opposed to doing this. If you do not fully stand in line, you will not stand in line. The consequences of not standing in line are often not good.
How good.
At the dinner party, Gong Fu praised Qi Xuansu as a young hero. It is true that Qi Xuansu is not a boy at his age, let alone any man who will remain a boy until his death. But in the eyes of an old man like Gong Fu, a teenager is not a boy.
Years old, twenty years old, thirty years old, there is no big difference, they are all teenagers.
Then Gong Fu also used half-truths and half- lies
In a drunken mood, he made some remarks that were not about drinking. It was a pity that such an outstanding young man had a master so early. If he had no master, it would be just right for Tantai Dazhen's eldest granddaughter to be unmarried.
As a result, before Qi Xuansu said anything, Tantaiying had already stood up and left the table - her temper got so bad that she didn't even give Gong Da the respect.
Gong Fu had become accustomed to it and didn't care. He didn't even bother to say "unbridled", "nonsense" or "stop". Just let her go.
This is really a spoiled woman. Among other things, the atmosphere and human touch on the upper level of the West Gate is indeed a little stronger than that of the upper level of the Dao Gate.
This is not surprising. With huge external pressure and alien races around, as long as you still want to survive, many internal conflicts will be suppressed, many issues will be put aside, and you will naturally become more united. Once united,
Without so much infighting, the human touch comes out.
On the other hand, the Taoist Sect is too far away from the Holy Court. Even if the two families are willing to be hostile, even though they are of equal size and no one has a clear advantage, the distance of half a world also makes the two families powerless and neither one is willing to take the initiative, thus forming a situation.
This creates an environment where external pressure is low but internal strife is high. In this environment, although everyone is related to each other, it is only for the sake of face.
After the dinner, Gong Fu invited Qi Xuansu to watch a play. It was a new play that integrated the characteristics of various local operas in the Central Plains.
The theater was very large, a bit like an enlarged theater. Qi Xuansu and Gong Fu were invited to the front row seats. There were only two of them in the entire first row. Originally, there was a seat for Tantai Ying, but she left early. .??
.
Everyone else was behind the two of them, showing a strict hierarchical system. Generally speaking, this would not happen in Daomen who shouted equality on the surface. Xidaomen tore off this fig leaf directly.
Just when Qi Xuansu was thinking about this, the show started. The costumes of the actors made Qi Xuansu temporarily put down all kinds of thoughts in his mind. At the same time, he felt a sense of absurdity. He saw all the Central Plains faces wearing wigs and Western clothes.
The story of a man’s clothes turning out to be a Westerner is indeed quite unconventional.
This couldn't help but remind Qi Xuansu of the new play "Three Halls Trial of Jia Li Lei" that he and Zhang Yuelu watched at Yujing Taishangfang.
Immediately afterwards, the actors started talking, and the expression on Qi Xuansu's face showed an uncontrollable, wonderful and diverse change.
"Saints are not created by humans. The innate Holy Spirit comes to earth..."
"I felt like a knife was twisting in my belly, it turned out that the baby was about to come to the world..."
>
"Hearing this, the three great sages were alarmed and set out to present the gifts. They brought a dozen fresh fruits and ten kilograms of fine white flour..."
"Mr. Joseph, sit down and listen to what I have to say..."
"She got pregnant before she got married. I know you have thoughts in your mind, who is the father of the child? You can't sleep every day and every night..."
"This child was created by the Holy Spirit and came to the world through his mother's womb. He will pay for the sins of the world and is the Messiah Emmanuel..."
"The grace of the Supreme Will is so great that the reputation of the Virgin Mary spreads..."
How should I put it, although it was not made up randomly, it was all based on the legends of the Holy Court, but for some reason, after Qi Xuansu listened to this play, he felt that the word "holy" in the Holy Court had been almost eliminated.
After the show, Qi Xuansu received a letter from Gong Jiaojun.
What is the biggest advantage of Ziweitang? Is it the fast promotion speed? Is it that it is better informed. Sometimes when a real person is about to retire or a position is vacant, Ziweitang knows the news immediately. This time difference is
It is very valuable. If you know it first, act first, and take the first step, the probability of success will be much greater.
Gong Jiaojun conveyed a message to Qi Xuansu that the matter of resetting the master of the Wanxiang Taoist Palace was probably settled.
The biggest advantage of Wanxiang Taoist Palace is that it is self-contained and can dominate in its own small circle.
With so many Taoist palaces, why can the Wanxiang Taoist Palace be compared with the Zixiao Palace and have a dedicated master in charge of the palace? The reason is very simple. The Wanxiang Taoist Palace is related to the descendants and future of the Taoist sect. In addition, the Wanxiang Taoist Palace is relatively closed.
In this system, it is easiest to establish a disciple-student relationship similar to the one between the examiner and the Jinshi under the Confucian imperial examination system.
In this kind of student-student relationship, the examiner is the master if the same subject is the same year.
The Taoist priests who came out of the Wanxiang Taoist Palace naturally regard the Master of the Palm Palace and the Master of the Palm Palace as their "masters". This is a natural faction. Master Shi Dazhen unreasonably favors Qi Xuansu because Qi Xuansu is the master of the Wanxiang Taoist Palace.
Origin. In addition, Wanxiang Taoist Palace is also responsible for training high-quality Taoist priests, which is also a disguised teacher-student relationship.
Of course, the Wanxiang Dao Palace also has disadvantages, that is, it is self-contained and too closed-minded. Once you leave the Dao Palace, your influence will be greatly weakened. People are like connections. If you can help others, others can also help you. Helping each other is called connections.
If you help one-sidedly, it is not called a network. And if you stay in Wanxiang Dao Palace for a long time, you will tend to become more academic and bookish, and you will be incompatible with the outside world, such as Sun Hewu.
In short, there are advantages and disadvantages, but Qi Xuansu's whereabouts have been roughly decided.
