The courtesy officer's voice pulled Qi Xuansu back, and then they both bowed down at the same time.
It was said that they were bowing to each other, but in fact they were bowing to each other. After all, Taoists were not in the mood to kneel and bow.
The tips of the "buds" of the lotus crowns on their heads just touched each other.
Divide at the first touch.
This time is very short, but Qi Xuansu thinks it is very long.
At this moment, he thought of many things.
The first encounter with Weapon Pu Zi in Taiqing City, the wedding banquet at the Phoenix Tower, the thirty-six sky lanterns after drinking, the two sharing beef noodles. A woman who calls herself Tantai Chu.
The face of the Tiangang Hall, the vast Gobi Desert in the Western Regions, the Palace and Yaochi in the Snowy Mountains, the Three Halls of the New Opera Judgment Jialilei. A short sword named Qingyuan.
The Yulan Temple in Yishan City, the mountain market on the Tea Horse Road, the Qianli River in Baidi City, and Shangqing Town in Yunjin Mountain. The fake show finally became real.
The bidding at Dazhen Mansion, the shocking change on the flying boat, the shocking jump at the Kunlun Mountain Pass, and meeting again outside Jiangling City. It seems that this is fate.
The investigation in Jinling Mansion, the burning Zhenwu Temple, the haze of Zhenjun Siming, and the smile of Nianhua in Wuxing Mountain. We are hand in hand.
The expedition to Fenglinzhou, the first two swords combined, the support from Lingnan Taoist Prefecture, the second two swords combined. We stand by each other.
Later, there were less gatherings and more separations.
But in the end, we got to where we are now.
After gathering his thoughts, Qi Xuansu slowly straightened up and looked at Zhang Yuelu, who was standing opposite him.
Zhang Yuelu happened to look over as well, and their eyes met at one point.
It seems that a thousand words can be said in this one glance.
Qi Xuansu smiled.
Many times, Qi Xuansu's smiles are not sincere. They are habitual smiles, superficial smiles, sneers, bitter smiles, and forced smiles.
But today's smile is definitely a smile from the heart, a natural smile, without any impurities.
There was no reason, Qi Xuansu just wanted to laugh.
If I have to have one reason, it would be pure joy, pure joy.
Seemingly infected by Qi Xuansu, Zhang Yuelu couldn't help but laugh.
No reason - no reason not to laugh.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
At this moment, everything seemed to have gone far away, including the best man in the hall, the guests in the court, and the Chiming Palace.
Only the person in front of you is left, only the person in your eyes is left.
Many guests also felt the two people's emotions and watched quietly.
No one even noticed that the Heavenly Master appeared at some point.
At the beginning, Tianshi showed up and then disappeared. It seemed that he didn’t want to steal the limelight of the newlyweds. Others thought that Tianshi just showed up and left early. Now Tianshi is back again, quietly
He appeared silently at Master Pingzhang's table and sat down next to Master Jiang.
Master Jiang Dazhen chuckled and said, "You should go up there."
"The four of them are enough. I won't join in the fun." Tianshi has always been easy-going and the most approachable among the three divisions. Hearing this, he waved his hands and said, "If I really want to go up, which side will I count? Or the middle one?"
Jiang Dashen said: "You can't say that. If you go up, Wu Niang will also go up, one on each side."
While speaking, the ceremony officer finally came to his senses, interrupted the two people's affectionate gaze, and asked the two newcomers to exchange their wishes.
Qi Xuansu took the Ruyi gift from Zhang Yuelu with his left hand, and handed his own Ruyi gift to Zhang Yuelu's hand with his right hand.
This is the exchange of tokens.
Then thank the guests.
One advantage of forming a Taoist couple is that there is no such thing as changing one's name. Whatever one was called before will remain the same in the future.
Master Donghua stood up and said: "You two have become a Taoist couple this time, and the Heavenly Master has given you a lot. As Tianyuan's master, I dare not compare with the Heavenly Master, but I don't want to be too stingy.
Let everyone laugh."
Because today is a big day and it is not a business matter, Master Donghua was not so serious when he spoke and was quite casual.
To put it bluntly, I want to give some gifts to the newlyweds.
Give money to Taiping?
That would be too tacky and not in line with Donghua’s identity.
Furthermore, even if you really want to give money to Taiping, how much should you give? If you give too much, you will gain face, but you will make mistakes. If you give less, if you don't make mistakes, you will make others laugh.
What's more, what the Heavenly Master gave was an immortal thing. Even if it was borrowed, it would be unusual. Immortal things do not necessarily belong to anyone. They are passed down from generation to generation. From this perspective, everyone's immortal things are temporary.
Lend. There are so many people in the world and so many Taoist sects, why should I lend it to you temporarily? This is a gift from the Heavenly Master.
In order to reciprocate courtesy, Master Donghua had to express his feelings.
But then again, after all, Donghua Zhenren has not yet ascended to the throne, and is not yet the great master of the Taoist sect. Whether he can ascend to the position in the end is still uncertain. Even if he can ascend, he will have to wait for the death of the third master and then re-centralize power, so what he has in hand is
The resources that can be mobilized are really not as good as those of Tianshi.
When it comes to "fighting for wealth", Donghua Zhenren cannot beat him, and he doesn't want to lose face, so he has to find another way.
Master Donghua had his own calculations and said: "Back then, Xuansheng and Mrs. Xuansheng left an opportunity in the Kunlun Cave. If the disciples of the younger generation are lucky enough to enter it and pass the trial, they can get gifts from Xuansheng. This can be regarded as a gift.
A blessing.”
As soon as these words came out, the curiosity of many guests below was aroused.
It would be unbelievable to say that Xuansheng left some kind of opportunity in Kunlun Cave, but it would make sense to say that it was Mrs. Xuansheng who did it. This is in line with Mrs. Xuansheng’s character.
As for why only Master Donghua knows about this opportunity, the reason is very simple. The ancestor of the Pei family is the founder and only disciple of Xuan Sheng. The Zhou family and the Shen family are a little bit different. Strictly speaking, the ancestors of these two families are both
There are also teachers who have only received guidance from Xuansheng, and the difference is huge. Just like the students who go to the Wanxiang Taoist Palace to attend classes, and the students who are taught by the instructors are still different.
Master Donghua paused for a moment and then said: "Perhaps some Taoist friends want to ask, why don't you go with such an opportunity? I won't hide it from everyone, this opportunity requires a Taoist couple, and I do not meet this condition. And for Taoism
The couple's cultivation level is quite demanding, and even Tianyuan and Qingxiao are a little behind now, let alone the others."
The guests laughed one after another.
No matter what happens in the future, the current Donghua master is still alone. As for the cultivation requirements, it should be said that Zhang Yuelu is still a few points behind, Qi Xuansu is probably enough, so Pei Xiaolou and other children of the Pei family, as well as the ancestors of the Pei family in the past,
If neither of them meets the requirements, it's easy to say anything to one person. But if two people meet the requirements, and they have to be Taoist companions, then it's a bit difficult.
Needless to say, this condition must have been set up by Mrs. Xuansheng. Most of the time, Xuansheng did not have such thoughts of loving his children. In fact, many interesting things are inseparable from Mrs. Xuansheng. Most of the time, Xuansheng was attracted by her.
Mrs. Xuansheng pushed her away. His original intention was not to do these things. Xuansheng was more interested in major events such as integrating the three realms and personally conquering Buddhism.
Then Master Donghua flicked his finger, and two points of spiritual light flew out, flying into the eyebrows of Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu respectively.
The expressions of Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu changed slightly.
Everyone saw the change in the expressions of the two men and knew that this opportunity was indeed true. They couldn't help but be more curious, what would Xuan Sheng leave behind? Most of Xuan Sheng's relics belong to the Taoist sect and have been passed down to the hands of the great masters of the past dynasties, or perhaps
It was stored in the Zixiao Palace. Some of it was given to the Li family and passed down from generation to generation. The Pei family also received some as a disciple. In this way, Xuansheng's personal belongings have basically been "divided up."
Inheritance is also impossible. Xuansheng's idea is to break down the sectarian views, so he collects all Taoist methods, re-integrates them, and popularizes them across the board. Therefore, it is impossible to hide some of the skills secretly, which is inconsistent with Xuansheng's ideas.
Unless this technique has serious flaws and Xuansheng thinks it is not suitable to be passed on to future generations, and it is the work of his predecessors, Xuansheng cannot bear to destroy it, so he deliberately hides it. But this possibility is not very likely.
What the specific opportunity is, probably only Master Donghua, Qi Xuansu, and Zhang Yuelu know.
Qi Xuansu was very shocked at this time.
Because of the most critical information, Master Donghua didn't mention it at all and only told Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu.
I don’t know the specific location of this opportunity. Just like Tianhou’s Dragon Palace and Lin Lingsu’s Tongzhen Palace, they are constantly changing. You have to find it yourself.
The requirements of this opportunity are second to the requirements for the realm of the Taoist couple. The key is the need for a key, and this key is the "Heart of the Immortal Stone".
So after so many years, no one in the Pei family has been able to win this opportunity.
Master Donghua also said frankly that this opportunity should have been left to the descendants of the Li family by Madam Xuansheng, because the Pei family itself did not have the "Heart of the Immortality Stone", and Madam Xuansheng did not know at the time that Yao Zu had also refined the third "Heart of Immortality Stone".
"Heart of the Immortal Stone", no matter how you look at it, it is a tailor-made opportunity arranged by Mrs. Xuansheng for the descendants of the Li family.
Regarding the fact that the Li family possesses the "Heart of the Immortal Stone", Xuansheng may not have known about it at the beginning, but he should have known about it later.
However, at this time, the reform entered a deep water zone. Measures to integrate the three paths, such as the abolition of the Creation Project, aroused strong opposition. The eight tribes fled, the war with Buddhism was frustrated, some Confucian sects had second thoughts in life, and the ancient immortals supported by Buddhism were
Troubles were stirred up, and the internal and external situation became more and more complicated. At this time, Xuansheng had to rely on the Li family, and even handed over the defense power of Yujing to Taiping Dao.
Under this situation, Xuan Sheng really had no way to pursue these matters, so he could only turn a blind eye and acquiesce in this matter.
What can we do if we don't acquiesce? Without Mrs. Xuansheng, without the Li family, it is really hard to say whether Xuansheng can suppress the Zhengdao and Quanzhen Tao with only the lineage of the Grand Master and his own prestige.
Once chaos breaks out, internal and external troubles arise, the Taoist sect is immediately in danger of falling apart.
When Xuan Sheng came back from his personal campaign against Buddhism, he had another problem. He spent most of his time in seclusion and rarely dealt with political affairs. He even failed to take care of continuing to integrate the three powers and return them to Jiutang. In the end, he was promoted in a hurry, not caring about anything.
It's such a small thing.
As for why you didn't tell the Li family directly, Xuansheng probably played a role. Although Xuansheng's wife took the lead in this matter, Xuansheng was also involved, and Xuansheng's attitude towards the Li family was always complicated, both suppressing and reusing.
, he didn’t want to leave this opportunity to the Li family, and he didn’t want to disgrace Mrs. Xuansheng, so he wanted the Pei family to play a checkpoint role.
The Pei family lived up to their trust. After all these years, they didn't tell the Li family and just pretended that it didn't happen. Instead, they finally had a turning point and a disciple with the "Heart of the Immortal Stone" came into being.
