In the morning, the palace is held together, and in the evening, there is a banquet in the capital of Qing Dynasty.
Banquet in Qingdu, also known as Four Generations of Good.
The so-called Qingdu refers to the palace where the Emperor of Heaven lives.
Standing still. Taoist friends are reunited with each other. Kunlun's scenic spots are protected by the jade dragon wind. The golden tower descends, the clear peaks are thousands of miles away, and the water clouds are eternal. Flying in the cup and sharing the heroic deeds. The drunken guests are delighted, and the dragon chants. Waiting to be remembered as a good story, return
Count from the beginning.
…
After Pei Shenfu left Nanyang, Qi Xuansu also sent Li Tianqing out of the country with "gifts", and Patriarch Jin Gong came to pick him up in person.
Unlike Pei Shenfu, Qi Xuansu and Li Tianqing have nothing to say. The conflict between them is simple. It is just a pure camp confrontation. There are not so many messy relationships involved, so there is no need to say too much.
This Nanyang turmoil has finally come to an end.
In fact, there are benefits. This operation by Li Tianqing and Wu Guangbi indirectly helped the Borneo Taoist government purify the environment, get rid of a number of pests, and even dealt a heavy blow to the power of the old Taoist priests. Now the old Taoist priests hate them to death.
Even more so than Zhang Yuelu. Because Zhang Yuelu just lost money and Li Taiqing directly killed him, if he entered Fengxian Hall, would he still be able to survive?
As for why Zhang Yuelu did not use a personnel storm to break the situation, the reason is also very simple. The "Tianting" who has a large amount of evidence will not listen to Zhang Yuelu, let alone kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred.
More importantly, Yao Shu is under a lot of pressure. This is one of the reasons why Yao Shu becomes easy to talk to.
In this regard, Qi Xuansu would also like to thank Li Taiqing on behalf of the Borneo Taoist Government.
What’s more, Zhang Yuelu finally came out of confinement.
As expected by Qi Xuansu, Zhang Yuelu successfully entered the stage of creation. Although he failed to become a pseudo-immortal in one step, he almost caught up with Qi Xuansu's original self. It was definitely not comparable to the stage of creation for the first time.
However, Qi Xuansu's original body has finished digesting the "Xuan Jade" and can use the second piece of "Xuan Jade" to enter the pseudo-immortal stage. Zhang Yuelu does not have a second "Eternal Life Pill", so it will take some time to reach the pseudo-immortal stage.
As a result, Zhang Yuelu's appointment has been accelerated. In any case, his level of cultivation and age are still big bonus points. The younger he is, the higher the bonus points.
After all, there has to be a reason for the explanation. You can't just say that because your surname is Li, your surname is Zhang, your surname is Yao, and then you were promoted, you still have to cover it up. Realm cultivation is a good explanation. It is difficult for others to directly find fault. Someone really needs someone.
If you have the ability, you can be promoted to one.
Li Changge has the highest realm, so his position is also the highest. He also serves as the Taoist envoy, not only the chief of Beichen Hall.
As for Qi Xuansu, he was promoted based on his merit. After all, the Southern Continent was not in vain. It was enough to be promoted to the real person in charge if all the people were added up.
Since the official appointment has not yet been made, and Zhang Yuelu still has to hand over various matters at hand, he cannot return to Yujing immediately. Naturally, the new chief candidate has been decided, which is Xu Jiaorong.
If nothing unexpected happens, Xu Jiaorong will serve as chief for a long time, and then he will be transferred to Hall 9 as chief deputy chief, and finally be released to another party.
Of course, if something unexpected happens, for example, Qi Xuansu takes over in advance, that would be another story. It is not impossible for Xu Jiaorong to directly take over as the real person in charge. Everything is possible.
In summary, Xu Jiaorong and Pei Xiaolou serve as the chief deputy palace master and second deputy palace master respectively in Borneo Taoist Palace, Ji Jiaozhen and Chen Jianqiu serve as the third deputy palace master and fourth deputy palace master respectively.
Responsible for Thang Long Province and Lion City respectively.
In addition, Chen Shuwen from Nanyang United Trading Company, Liu Gui from South Borneo Company, Yuheng Star Master from Ziguang Society, Shangguan Ya from the Eight Tribes, Huan Ji and Pei Xiaoyun from Fenglinzhou Trading Company, and Chen Jianqiu from Dayu Kingdom.
, Nanyang is still under Qi Xuansu's control.
However, Lin Yuanmiao will not stay in Nanyang. He has also been promoted - taking Li Minghuang's position as the third deputy head of Tiangang Hall, and will follow Zhang Yuelu to Beijing.
He didn't have anything to say to him. He was drinking at the moment, drinking farewell drinks one after another. Pei Xiaolou and Ji Jiaozhen both lamented that the three friends of Nanyang were not good enough, and they were about to separate. From now on, they would become
We are friends in Nanyang, and there was originally a substitute, Xiao Yin, who also went to Yujing.
Lin Yuanmiao said that although we are no longer together, the spirit of the Three Friends of Nanyang remains unchanged, and these past years will always be engraved in our hearts.
Due to various reasons, Qi Xuansu returned to Yujing alone this time. Before leaving, Qi Xuansu left the "Male and Female Evil-Slaying Sword" to Zhang Yuelu. As for whether Zhang Yuelu wants to return it to the Heavenly Master, it depends on the Heavenly Master's will.
Originally, Qi Xuansu wanted to wait a few more days and return to Yujing with Zhang Yuelu, but there were too many things going on in Yujing.
If I want to reach the pseudo-immortal stage, my incarnation must go back to ensure that I am a whole.
In addition, the official appointment of Qi Xuansu will also be announced.
This is undoubtedly the highlight. After all, it is Zhenzhi Zhenren. Although he failed to tie the historical record, Qi Xuansu is the youngest among the surviving Zhenzhi Zhenren.
The order is to first promote Qi Xuansu to Zhenzhi Zhenren, and then appoint him as Zhanzhen Zhenren of Wanxiang Dao Palace, and then Qi Xuansu will take up his post.
However, there is a saying that after a small degree, a big degree will be achieved. This means
After the bridal chamber was filled with flowers and candles, he was inscribed on the gold list.
Therefore, Jin Que did not embarrass Qi Xuansu in this matter. He also respected the rules and allowed him to get married first, and then officially appointed him to the post. Not only did he save the need for leave, but he also accepted the small admission and then the big admission.
Because of this, Qi Xuansu returned to Yujing this time mainly to be promoted to the position of Shenzhi Zhenren.
To count the top level of the Taoist sect, apart from the first-grade innocent Taoist priests, the number of Zhenzhen Zhenzhen is at the top. There is no fixed number of Pingzhang Da Zhenren. There are as many as twelve people and as few as seven people. The number of Zhenzhen Zhenren is fixed.
, that is thirty-six people.
Qi Xuansu will now join the ranks of these thirty-six people and truly become a high-level member of the Taoist sect. When the time comes to elect the Grand Master, Qi Xuansu will also have a vote.
Such an important position naturally requires a promotion ceremony.
Qi Xuansu's promotion ceremony and Wuniang's promotion ceremony were merged together. The Grand Master should have attended and presided over this ceremony in person. However, since the Taoist sect does not have a Grand Master, the rotating Grand Master will step in on his behalf. This is also the reason for setting up the rotating Grand Master.
The original intention was that there were too many ceremonial functions that required the presence of the Grand Master.
Nowadays, the Celestial Master is the rotating Grand Master. If it had been a little later, he would have been the Earth Master.
The specific location where the ceremony was held is at Jinque.
Qi Xuansu and Wu Niang set out for Jinque together, and Xiao Yin also followed - she was favored by the two of them, and was invited to attend the ceremony, and was able to sit in the front row with a large group of real people.
This was not the first time Qi Xuansu came to Jinque. He had already been here once because of the matter in the Southern Continent. His feelings and moods were naturally completely different these two times.
Jinque has already sent someone in advance to deliver the modified 瓓瓒 and the corresponding Taoist crown - because the real person's crane cloak only has more sword belts than the ordinary crane cloak, and the crane cloaks of the real person and above are exactly the same, only the Taoist crown is different.
.
Except for the three deputy head masters, the others all have lotus crowns, the shape is exactly the same, only the material is different. The ordinary master has a gold lotus crown, the Zhizhen master has a white jade lotus crown, and the Pingzhang master has a purple lotus crown.
As for the Grand Master, there are no specific regulations. In theory, you can wear anything, it is in line with nature.
The second-generation Grand Master likes to dress like a ninth-grade Taoist priest, the third-generation Grand Master likes to wear ordinary clothes, and the fourth-generation Grand Master likes to dress like an ordinary real person, and no one can say anything.
The Grand Master of the Five Dynasties was the most strict, and he specially designed the costumes and crowns of the Grand Master. He had almost obsessive requirements for the appearance of Taoist priests.
When Qi Xuansu received the white jade lotus crown, he held it in his hand and looked at it, exclaiming, "This white jade lotus crown is more beautiful than the gold lotus crown."
Wu Niang said unceremoniously, "Where can I have a purple lotus?"
Does the flower crown look good? The Taoist sect regards purple as the most precious thing, and the Supreme Taoist Patriarch’s purple energy comes from the east thirty thousand miles away!”
Qi Xuansu suggested, "It's better to let Xiao Yin evaluate it."
Xiao Yin looked at the lotus crowns in their hands and didn't rush to speak, his eyes rolled around.
Wu Niang secretly stuffed a big ticket and used immortal cultivation, but Qi Xuansu didn't notice it at all.
Xiao Yin immediately said, "The purple gold ones are beautiful."
Wu Niang picked up Xiao Yin and said proudly, "Look, Xiao Yin's eyes are sharp."
Xiao Yin deliberately blinked hard at Qi Xuansu, "Dear!"
After arriving at Jinque, there were already ceremonial guards lined up, and the real people attending the ceremony arrived one after another. The real people who stayed in Jinque, Shenzhi Zhenren and Zhang Dazhen, were basically there, including Donghua, Qingwei, Cihang and so on.
See the real person.
Xiao Yin wore a small crane cloak specially customized for her today and blended in. However, it was still very conspicuous. In such a place where real people gathered, the third-grade Youyi Taoist Priest was already very conspicuous. The key is that it is even more conspicuous if it is small.
Okay. Fortunately, real people are well-informed and are not surprised.
People kept congratulating Wu Niang and Qi Xuansu. In formal occasions, Western etiquette was not allowed. Qi Xuansu returned the congratulations one by one.
Qi Xuansu finally met the Heavenly Master whom he had not seen for a long time, but time was tight and did not allow for more talk. Maybe we could talk about it afterwards.
At the beginning of the ceremony, the Celestial Master, as the great master on duty, first spoke some words about the scene, probably about how Jinque had welcomed a new member. Everyone watching the ceremony expressed their welcome. The Celestial Master also formally introduced the two people to everyone, which was a bit like a new member.
Then Wu Niang was the first to step forward and stand in front of the Grand Master's throne.
The Heavenly Master took out the "Taishangdu Gong Sutra Urn" that he had prepared, and on behalf of the Taoist sect, awarded it to fellow Taoist Qiwu.
Compared with Taoist crowns and official certificates, this is the most critical proof of identity.
Wu Niang took the sutra basket with both hands.
Next is Qi Xuansu.
The Heavenly Master took out the "Tai Xuan Jing Lu" corresponding to Shenzhi Zhenren.
The Heavenly Master is actually Wuniang’s junior. It’s hard to say words of encouragement to Wuniang, so he can only give simple instructions. However, Qi Xuansu is a junior in every sense, so he said, “From today on, you are the thirty-sixth member of the Taoist sect.”
You are one of the Zhiren people. Considering your age, you will definitely not stop here. The Tao Sect is ours and yours, but it is yours after all. You are like the sun in the hour, and there is still a long way to go in the future.
I place my hope on you and look forward to the day when you will be at your peak. Congratulations."
Qi Xuansu took the sutra basket with both hands and saluted solemnly.
