Chapter 157 Visiting Shangqing County (Part 2)

There was a smile on Su Ying's face again: "Fellow Taoist Qi, there is no need to be polite, please sit down."

Qi Xuansu straightened up and glanced at Su Ying. Although Su Ying was not as aggressive as Zhang Yuyue, Qi Xuansu was still keenly aware of the unfriendly tone.

However, Qi Xuansu also expected this, so he didn't say much and sat directly next to Zhang Yuelu.

Su Ying chuckled and said, "Fellow Daoist Qi is Qingxiao's subordinate?"

"Yes." Qi Xuansu said calmly, "I am the deacon of Tiangang Hall, and now I am a seventh-grade Taoist priest. My master has been dead for many years, and I have nothing to do with the Qi family of Quanzhen Taoism."

"What are you doing?" Su Ying said deliberately, "I am not a Taoist priest from Beichen Hall who interrogates prisoners. I just ask casually. If you don't want to answer, forget it. Why bother to say such a long list? I can't remember it. You...

Are you angry with me?"

Before Qi Xuansu could answer, Zhang Yuelu had already opened his mouth and said: "Since your brain is not good, you should stop asking questions like others and waste more time talking."

Su Ying's expression changed slightly, then returned to normal in an instant: "Qingxiao, are you so merciless in front of outsiders?"

Zhang Yuelu said: "You just said it yourself, you like my temper, which is much better than those fake clay puppets in Dazhen Mansion. Now that I fulfill your wish, you are not happy. You want me

How to do it?"

"You..." Su Ying was speechless for a moment.

Zhang Yuelu said lightly: "Do you have grudges against me? Don't hide it, even if you say it, I don't intend to change it anyway."

Qi Xuansu lowered his head and tried not to laugh. He suddenly felt that Zhang Yuelu was like an old hen with its wings spread out, protecting his little chick behind him, and pecked anyone who dared to come up.

Although Su Ying was trembling with anger, she knew that her weight was far inferior to that of Zhang Yuelu. If she and Zhang Yuelu broke out, she would still suffer the loss, so she tried her best to adjust her breath: "Okay, okay... I am Ye Gong who loves dragons, but I am too talkative.

Tongue. But Qingxiao looks more and more like a member of the Li family. Those who didn’t know better thought she was the daughter of the Li family.”

Zhang Yuelu continued to drink tea.

If she was really born into the Li family, it wouldn't be a bad thing. Even though the Li family has all kinds of bad things, there is only one thing that the Zhang family can never compare with, and that is meritocracy. As long as you have the ability,

With ability, adopted sons, sons-in-law, and daughters can also be the head of the family. This is the reason why the Li family has been able to prosper for a long time. On the contrary, the Zhang family has to separate its relatives far and near, and there is still no female Celestial Master.

Qi Xuansu slowly opened his mouth and said, "I haven't asked my senior for his name yet."

"My surname is Su." Su Ying said with a smile.

, "She is Qingxiao's aunt."

Zhang Yuelu imitated the tone of the Li family and said: "If my blessed uncle is alive in heaven and knows about your great achievements, he will be so happy that he can't wait to live another five hundred years."

Although Qi Xuansu didn't know the cause and effect, he could hear Zhang Yuelu mocking Su Ying, and couldn't help but chuckle in his heart: "I am only at the level of the adopted son of the Li family, and Young Master Qingxiao is also at the level of the direct descendant of the Li family."

Qi Xuansu collected his thoughts and said seriously: "Senior Su and I have never met each other, how can we have any resentment? I just say what I have to say."

"Just say whatever you want." Su Ying leaned forward with a meaningful look in her eyes. She did not delve into this topic and turned to another inappropriate question: "As the saying goes, a woman from one family can ask for everything, you should have heard of it.

Li Tianzhen from the Li family liked our Qingxiao very much, but Qingxiao rejected him, and Qingxiao even beat him up. For Qingxiao, it was naturally a glorious thing to show his face, but it also made him an enemy."

"In the future, Li Tianzhen will take revenge. Qingxiao has the protection of the Heavenly Master and the Earthly Master, and has Master Cihang as his backer. Naturally, he will not be afraid. But there is no guarantee that Li Tianzhen will not vent his anger on the people around Qingxiao. Aren't you afraid?"

"We can't let a grown man hide under the wings of our Qingxiao. Isn't he just a pretty boy? I'm sorry, I'm a straight talker. Please forgive me."

Qi Xuansu really thought about this problem and said: "It would be a lie to say that you are not afraid at all, but you can't stop eating because of choking. Just like the Tiangangtang Taoist priests will encounter dangers when facing monsters, and even die, they can't let it go just because of fear.

Monsters bring harm to the world. Senior Su, do you think this is true?"

Su Ying raised her eyebrows. It was hard to refute such an absolutely correct cliche, so she said instead: "Xiao Qi, what do you think is good about Qing Xiao? Isn't it the background?"

Be straightforward, straight to the point, and straight to the point.

Qi Xuansu said: "Why should I say more about what is so good about Qing Xiao? Senior Su, on the other hand, does it mean that Senior Su thinks Qing Xiao is nothing but his background?"

After this period of getting along, the two of them already had a tacit understanding. Zhang Yuelu took over the conversation and ended the topic forcefully: "Since I am a guy with nothing but family background, it is just right for me to be matched with Tianyuan, a seventh-grade Taoist priest, so I don't need to worry about it.

Already."

Su Ying seemed to be smiling, but her face was looming in the smoke.

, said: "Even if I say 'Auntie' to Qingxiao, I shouldn't push it too far."

Zhang Yuelu said expressionlessly: "That's it, it's getting late, I'll say goodbye."

Su Ying put down the cigarette rod in her hand and said, "Sorry, I won't send you far."

Zhang Yuelu walked straight out.

Qi Xuansu saluted Su Ying again, then turned around and left the place with Zhang Yuelu.

After the two left Shangqing Temple, Zhang Yuelu sighed: "I really don't like the Zhang family, but there is nothing I can do about it. What is the Li family doing? They are working together, attacking from all sides, testing the reactions of all parties, and responding to the position of the great leader.

In Bide, what are the Zhang family doing? Showing off their family status, one of the three largest families in the world, is really amazing. Li Qingnu dares to go to Shangqing Mansion openly, does the Zhang family dare to go to Beihai Mansion? But they dare to embarrass you, bully the weak, and fear the strong.

But that's it. The last time Zhang and Li fought, the Zhang family's decline was obvious. If Xuansheng hadn't intervened to facilitate Zhang and Li's negotiation, the Zhang family would have been completely defeated. Now that there is no Xuansheng, if the two families fight, I really don't know what the Zhang family will end up with.

"

Qi Xuansu also sighed. .??.

During his journey, when people mentioned Zhang Yuelu, the first thing they thought of was that Zhang Yuelu beat Li Tianzhen, the son of the Li family. Few people mentioned the major Jiangnan case that Zhang Yuelu experienced. It seemed that the consequences of beating the son of the Li family were more terrifying than the major Jiangnan case.

The strength of the family is evident.

From the perspective of the higher-ups of the Taoist sect, the great masters of Taiping Dao and the great masters of Qingwei are both from the Li family. If you include the great masters of Pingzhang, Zhenzhi, and real men, the Li family is known as one sect with seven masters, but Master Cihang is not.

It is not from the Zhang family, and there is no such thing as a family in Quanzhen Taoism. From this point of view, the Li family is indeed the first family in the Taoist sect, and its strength is even higher than that of the Zhang family. It is just that the Zhang family has a longer inheritance, which makes it different from the Zhang family.

Descendants of saints from the Confucian sect, the current Tian family royal family is also known as the three major aristocratic families in the world.

Zhang Yuelu stopped talking about these discouraging things and said instead: "Let's not talk about this anymore. Whether the Zhang family prospers or dies, what can we do? Do your own thing first. Su Ying... what my aunt said, please

Please be patient and don't be the same as them."

Qi Xuansu said softly: "This is nothing, it won't hurt me. Now that we have met your sister and aunt, both of whom are women, it's time to meet a man from the Zhang family, right?"

Zhang Yuelu said: "You really guessed it right. I have a cousin who lives in Shangqing County now. We will visit him later and have a meal by the way. This cousin of mine is very easy to talk to and is very friendly with my mother.

It doesn't matter, you don't have to worry."

Qi Xuansu didn't dare to take it too lightly, but he didn't show it on his face.

, asked: "Are you going now?"

"Go now and then go home." Zhang Yuelu said, "Die early and be reborn early."

Qi Xuansu couldn't help laughing and said, "You're impatient."

"I'm just impatient. What's this? I have to fight with my family." Zhang Yuelu did not deny it.

The two of them walked together to the largest restaurant in Shangqing County. Although it was not very luxurious, it was very elegant. Zhang Yuelu had made an appointment with his cousin to meet here.

Zhang Yuelu's cousin had already arrived here first and was waiting in front of the restaurant.

Zhang Chiyue, also of the Yue generation, is also a fourth-grade Taoist priest who offers wine, and now serves as the director of Ziwei Hall. In terms of position, he is under Zhang Yuelu, his cousin.

As for the level of Taoist priests, most high-grade Taoist priests have to stay in the fourth-level Taoist priesthood for a long time. The reason for this is actually related to their position.

Generally speaking, the real person in charge of the hall and the master of the palace are served by the real person Shenzhi. The chief deputy palace master, deputy hall master and second deputy palace master. The deputy hall master is served by the second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest. Except for some ordinary people in name

Deputy palace masters and deputy hall masters are Taiyi second-grade Taoist priests. Under normal circumstances, ordinary deputy palace masters and deputy hall masters are the standard configuration of third-grade Youyi Taoist priests. Most of the time, their ranks rise with their positions.

But the positions of deputy hall masters and deputy palace masters are fixed. The numbers start from one pole to nine, so there are at most nine deputy hall masters in a hall, and there are at most nine deputy palace masters in a palace. Excluding the first and second seats, there are

Seven people. There are fifty-six positions in the entire Jiutang, plus many local governments, there are less than two hundred people.

In addition, there are many third-grade Youyi Taoist priests who do not have corresponding positions but have been promoted through seniority. With full calculation, there are only about three hundred third-grade Youyi Taoist priests in the entire Taoist sect, with a small number concentrated in Yujing and the rest scattered throughout the world.

As for the fourth-grade deputy hall master like Zhang Yuelu, after all, he is a special case. He is the one who has personally authorized the rotation of the great master who exercises the authority of the chief master. He is not the envy of others.

Because of this, Zhang Yuelu's status is far higher than that of Zhang Yuyue and others as he is also a fourth-grade wine-offering Taoist priest.

But in any case, Qi Xuansu is not qualified to see a fourth-grade wine-offering Taoist priest, respectfully bow to Zhang Chiyue, and then go to the private room on the third floor.

After Qi Xuansu suffered ill will from the Zhang family one after another, this time he finally felt the kindness from the Zhang family.

Zhang Chiyue did not look down on Qi Xuansu, but thought her cousin had a good taste. Regardless of whether they were polite words or not, Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu were still very helpful.
