As the night grew darker, the three of them stopped talking and sat beside the campfire, taking turns closing their eyes to meditate.
Early the next morning, the group continued on their way to Xiping Mansion.
The journey of several days passed by in an instant, and Xiping Mansion was visible in the distance.
Qi Xuansu did not want to enter the city with the Qingluan Guards, so he said goodbye to the Eighth Dayang and Sui Fan. The Eighth Dayang and the others also had official duties, so they did not stay, but thanked Qi Xuansu again for his help.
After Qi Xuansu entered the city of Xiping Mansion alone, he randomly found a restaurant. As soon as he entered the lobby, he saw several pieces of paper posted in a conspicuous place, with names of people on them.
I think this is the third list of the eighth day.
Strictly speaking, the layout of the gold list is the most regular. After all, there are only ten people, so the line spacing and word spacing are very particular. One person is on one line, and it is clear at a glance. But when it comes to the bronze list of more than 300 people, it is not so particular. Not only the characters are one size smaller.
, and the word spacing and line spacing are also close together. At a glance, they are so densely packed that it makes people dizzy.
Furthermore, many people on the gold list do not have names, just certain titles. For example, the "Tianting" ancestor who ranks first on the gold list is the Jin Gong Patriarch. As for whose last name is not specified, I don't know who he is.
Will Qing Ping have any scruples, or will it not be known to outsiders? ??
It has been more than a month since this list was released, and the popularity has passed, so not many people are still watching. But when it was first launched, it was a grand event in the world, and people gathered on three floors outside every day.
Qi Xuansu was at Yunjin Mountain at that time, but no one up and down Yunjin Mountain talked about it. They were focused on the upcoming Laba porridge and the Quanzhen Taoist visit to Yunjin Mountain. This shows the huge difference between the inside and outside of the Taoist sect. These major events in the hearts of the people in the world have nothing to do with the Taoist sect.
For Chinese people, it's really nothing.
In other words, even if Qi Xuansu suddenly becomes the first person on the Ruyi List, as long as his Taoist priest level is not improved, he will still be Zhang Yuelu's subordinate and have to listen to Zhang Yuelu's orders.
Qi Xuansu walked to the three lists and browsed them carefully.
I don’t recognize any of the names on the gold list, because it excludes people from the three religions and the imperial court, and most of them are leaders of secret societies.
Next is the silver list, which also combines the three teachings
People and the court were excluded. In addition to the masters of secret associations, some ordinary associations gradually appeared. The difference between ordinary associations and secret associations is that ordinary associations are recognized by Taoists and the court and are legal, while secret associations
Associations are not recognized by Taoists and the imperial court and are illegal.
Generally speaking, ordinary Jianghu people will not use convoluted names such as "ordinary associations" and "secret associations". They directly call "ordinary associations" as such-and-such gangs, and "secret associations" as such-and-such religions, Ziguang Society, etc.
This is why it is also called the Ziguang Sect. It is worth mentioning that Qingpinghui, Qibaofang, and "Inn" are secret associations in the Taoist definition, but they are classified as ordinary associations in the world.
List.
However, both Taoist sects and ordinary Jianghu people regard Ziguang Sect, Zhiming Sect, and Lingshan Witch Cult as evil sects and demonic sects, and ordinary Jianghu people dare not provoke these three sects.
Qi Xuansu glanced at the silver list for a while, but failed to remember a few names, and then moved to the bronze list. For Qi Xuansu today, the fake immortals on the Wuyou list and the heavenly beings on the Taiping list are too far away from him to even watch the excitement.
I don’t understand, the focus is still on the bronze list.
First of all, the person number one on the bronze list is indeed from the Taoist sect, Taiping Dao Li Changge.
Note: He is a Taoist priest in the stage of returning to his true form. He has no position. He is a disciple of Master Qingwei and inherits the banished immortal.
Qi Xuansu was shocked by this seniority. The Li family's seniority is "Spring and Autumn are all spent, and a hundred years old is gone. Follow the Tao and the law, and have a destiny." Although Xuan Sheng and Donghuang did not use the standard character of seniority, they both
People of the "Ru" generation, Quanzhen Taoist Da Zhenren are of the "Chang" generation, but this Li Changge is also the "Chang" generation, and he is about the same age as Zhang Yuelu, which is quite rare even in a big family.
Qi Xuansu remembered that Zhang Yuelu had talked about the seniority of the Li family during their chat.
As old rivals and friends of the Li family for many years, the Zhang family knows very well about many things about the Li family, which is in line with the saying "The person who knows you best is your enemy." According to Zhang Yuelu,
Although Xuansheng belongs to the "Ru" generation, there is a huge age gap in the "Ru" generation. The oldest person from the "Ru" generation can almost be Xuansheng's grandfather in terms of age, and the youngest "Ru" person can be said to be Xuansheng's grandfather.
"People of the same generation are more than ten years younger than Xuansheng. So, although these two groups of grandchildren of people of the "Ru" generation are of the same generation, there must be a huge age gap. Could this Li Changge be an ancestor of the Li family?
Older people come to have children.
In this way, Li Tianzhen is two generations lower than this person, and Li Minghuang is three generations lower than this person. However, Qingwei Zhenren is a rare monk in Taiping Road, although the world still regards him as a core member of the Li family
, but according to the rules, he is no longer a member of the Li family. It is just like the royal princess who became a monk in the past to avoid marriage. The world still regards her as a princess and calls her a monk. But after all, she is a monk, so she can not marry or abandon her.
His real name is Taoist name. Therefore, Master Qingwei can accept him as a disciple regardless of his seniority in the Li family, only his seniority in the Taoist sect.
In terms of Taoist seniority, Li Changge should be the disciple and grandson of Quanzhen Taoist Master, that is, the seniority of Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu.
It's just that Qi Xuansu is very strange, why he has never heard of Li Changge's name. When talking about the outstanding juniors of the Li family, Li Tianzhen seems to have appeared out of thin air. Is there any hidden secret in this?
Or is it that this is actually a pillar of talent carefully cultivated by the Li family, a future leader, and Li Tianzhen is just a cover-up, but this time he was exposed by the Qingping Society?
Qi Xuansu didn't think too much and continued to look at the second person.
Still a Taoist person.
Quanzhen Taoist Yao Pei, who has cultivated in the stage of returning to the true state, is a fifth-grade Taoist priest and has no position. He studied under Donghua Zhenren and inherited the banished immortal.
Qi Xuansu somewhat understood that most of these proud sons of heaven, who were born in the direct lineage of the three core cores, would not be exposed to secular affairs too early, but would focus on their cultivation and strive to become heavenly beings as soon as possible. Once promoted to heavenly beings, there would be no stopping.
With a limit of 10 years, I can easily get some credit. Naturally, I can be directly promoted to the third rank of Youyi Taoist Priest. With a huge network of backers, it is logical to be promoted to the second rank of Taiyi Taoist Priest in a few years.
.
From this point of view, it can be seen that it is not easy for Zhang Yuelu. No wonder Qiniang said that Zhang Yuelu mainly relies on his own ability. While other banished immortals are turning a deaf ear to the outside world, Zhang Yuelu has been doing things, first at Beichen Hall, and then at Tiangang Hall.
, and even experienced the Jiangnan case where he almost survived, it makes sense that he is more famous than these two people but lags behind them in terms of cultivation.
The third person and the fourth person are no longer members of the Taoist sect. The third person is from the Daxuan sect, and the fourth person is from the Buddhist sect. Qi Xuansu has also never heard of it, which makes him doubt whether he is too ignorant. The Confucian sect is indeed
No longer the orthodox foundation of the world, no one entered the top five. Last time Xie Qiuniang was able to fight Zhang Yuelu in a deadlock, it was also because Zhang Yuelu had defeated two returning masters in a row before.
The fifth person was Zhang Yuelu, a righteous disciple whom Qi Xuansu was familiar with. He had cultivated in the stage of returning to his true form, learned from Master Cihang, and inherited the banished immortal. The fourth-grade Taoist priest and the deputy head of Tiangang Hall were particularly conspicuous.
There are advantages to not doing things. You can concentrate on improving your cultivation without any distractions. There are also advantages to doing things. Rank and position are just one of them. The key is that your resume is very beautiful. In the future, if you compete to know real people, only Zhang Yuelu's realm of cultivation is not enough.
I have fallen behind too much, and if I show my resume, I will win over both of them.
At that time, Zhang Yuelu had something to say, what were you doing when I participated in solving the Jiangnan case, what were you doing when I was annihilating secret societies in the Western Regions, Yongzhou and other places, and what did I do for the Dao Sect?
What have you done for Daomen? This is Zhang Yuelu's advantage.
In addition, Qi Xuansu also specially found the name of Monk Yanxiu, and it ranked 19th, which is not too low. There is a big gap between Qi Xuansu and him, and revenge is far away.
Because Xie Qiuniang was not her real name, Qi Xuansu was not found.
There are also two people, Wan Xiuwu and Yue Liuli, who have also made it to the bronze list this time, but they are much worse than Zhang Yuelu, and are already outside the top 100.
Finally, Qi Xuansu really found his name, ranking 352nd, just shy of the top ten.
