Qi Xuansu said: "You are so brave. How dare a lonely and weak woman come to a place like this without fear of being eaten alive? Who gave you the courage?"
Qin Xiang looked at the body of the tragically dead guard with a complicated expression.
Qi Xuansu asked: "Who is he?"
"My nanny brother." Qin Xiang replied.
The wife of a wealthy family does not breastfeed herself, but hires a wet nurse, that is, a wet nurse. If the wet nurse wants to produce milk, she must also have her own children, so the wet nurse is the son of the wet nurse. The two children grow up together, although the master and servant
They are different, but they are closely related. Some of the emperor's close ministers are from this background.
Qi Xuansu glanced at the corpse and said: "He is also a child who does not know the dangers of the world. As soon as you asked him to accompany you here, he patted his chest and agreed?"
Qin Xiang squatted beside the corpse, silent.
Qi Xuansu finally asked: "Where is the person who lied to you?"
Qin Xiang shook his head.
Qi Xuansu didn't bother to guess whether he shook his head because he didn't want to mention it, or because he didn't know. He said directly: "You lead me to the nearest city. After I finish the work, I can take you out of here."
Qin Xiang slowly raised his head and glanced at Qi Xuansu: "Is this your first time here too?"
Qi Xuansu said: "It doesn't matter how many times you do it, the key is to have the ability to protect yourself."
Qin Xiang said softly: "I only know one city."
"That's enough." Qi Xuansu didn't mind.
Qin Xiang stood up, no longer looking at the corpse on the ground, and said: "That city was actually the Qianhu residence of the previous dynasty. Before I came, I checked some files about this place. It was not recovered during the previous Wei dynasty.
The main battlefields of Xizhou, the Central Plains and the Golden Horde were in today's Yongzhou, Liangzhou, Xizhou and other places, so the Wei Dynasty set up many thousand households here. Later, I Daxuan regained Xizhou, and Yongzhou was no longer
Naturally, there were no more wars on the border. When Emperor Gaozu abolished the guard system, these thousands-households gradually fell into disuse."
Qi Xuansu said: "After the Thousand Households were abolished, this place became a no-nonsense area. After all, this kind of place is not suitable for living. After the troops were no longer stationed, the government did not bother to care about it and gave some people an opportunity. Some people
Take this opportunity to occupy the magpie's nest. Since you have checked the origin of this place in advance, you didn't expect that there would be something strange here?"
Qin Xiang shook his head and said: "Is it the king's land in the world..."
Qi Xuansu laughed, not hiding his sarcasm: "Of course this is true. The people hiding here do not dare to openly resist the imperial court, and do not dare to separate their own rule, but it does not mean that they do not dare to commit crimes, rebel, and commit crimes.
They are two different things. Remember?"
Qin Xiang nodded and said
:"remember."
Qi Xuansu decided to be a good man and go to the end. He circulated his true energy on his feet, stepped on a shallow pit on the ground, put the body of Brother Qin Xiang in, covered it with gravel, and piled it into a tomb. A simple tomb was completed.
.
After Qi Xuansu finished doing this, he sighed with emotion: "How did I become like this in just six months? If it were the me before, I would not do such a thing, nor would I be so careless."
Qin Xiang felt baffled, but he still bowed three times in front of the grave.
After Qi Xuansu sighed, he looked around and found Qin Xiang's horse not far away.
Previously, Qin Xiang and her nanny brother fled here on horseback, and were surrounded after they fell off the horse. Qin Xiang's nanny brother's horse had disappeared. Unexpectedly, Qin Xiang's horse did not abandon its owner and run away, but stayed nearby.
After wandering around and seeing that Qin Xiang was safe, he slowly came over again.
Qi Xuansu looked at the horse carefully and couldn't help but said: "This is a good horse. Just by looking at this horse, it can be seen that you have a good background."
Qin Xiang approached his horse and gently stroked its mane.
Qi Xuansu said: "Get on your horse, I don't think you can travel far on foot."
"What about you?" Qin Xiang asked.
Qi Xuansu took out the armor and tied it to his leg again, shook his head and said, "Don't worry about me."
Qin Xiang got on his horse, glanced at the armor on Qi Xuansu's legs, and couldn't help but ask: "Are you from the Taoist sect?"
"It's none of your business. You just lead the way. When I ask you, you can talk again." Qi Xuansu didn't really want to talk to this woman who was not very smart.
As for how to distinguish whether the brain is good or not, it is simple. Zhang Yuelu, who can detect Qi Xuansu's problem from just a few lines of words, is a smart person with a good brain. An official lady who can be deceived into such a ghost place,
He's the kind of person who doesn't have a good brain.
Although Qin Xiang was regarded by Qi Xuansu as a woman with a weak brain, something to Qi Xuansu's surprise was that she did not play tricks, such as leading Qi Xuansu all the way to the Gobi, but actually led Qi Xuansu deep into the Gobi.
Go everywhere.
The two of them walked for thirty miles without seeing any human beings. They could only see a few passers-by and then pause for a moment.
Although Qi Xuansu asked Qin Xiang to speak less, Qin Xiang couldn't help but take advantage of the break to ask: "My lord, are you a member of the Taoist sect? In fact, I also know some Taoists.
There may be people who belong to the sect, and maybe some of your acquaintances.”
"I used to be a member of the Taoist sect." Qi Xuansu had to say, "But no longer. I am just a gangster now."
"Are you also from the former Taoist sect?" Qin Xiang exclaimed in low voice.
"Ye? The word 'ye' is quite interesting. Who else is from the former Taoist sect? The one who lied to you?" Qi Xuansu's reaction was sharp.
Qin Xiang obviously didn't expect Qi Xuansu to deduce the truth from just one word. He didn't know how to hide it for a while, so he could only answer bravely: "Yes."
"Then what is his current identity?" Qi Xuansu asked.
Qin Xiang whispered: "He is now a member of the Eight Tribes."
"The founding fathers of the Eight Tribes are high-quality Taoist priests who betrayed the Taoist sect. Over the years, they have continued to recruit Taoist disciples to join them." Qi Xuansu's tone could not express his surprise, but it was true, "The Eight Tribes are a secret society. Your parents
Didn't I warn you about the horrors of secret associations? Or are you at a rebellious age and you must go against your parents? "
Qin Xiang remained silent.
Qi Xuansu shook his head secretly.
It is not necessarily wrong to rebel against your parents. After all, if a family has quarrels with its children, the family will not be defeated. Even Confucianism, which most highly values filial piety, also proposed that "if a father fights for his son, he will not fall into injustice. Therefore, if he is unjust, his son will be unjust."
"You can't but fight with your father, and ministers can't help but fight with your king. Therefore, if you are unjust, you should fight against him. How can you be filial by obeying your father's orders?" The father has done something unjust, and the son sincerely tries to persuade him, but the advice does not work.
Then speak out and fight. Although it is not obeying, it will prevent the father from being caught in injustice. It is filial piety and disobedience.
The fundamental reason for opposing your parents is that you are justified. It does not mean that you have to oppose your parents at all times, nor does it mean that you are right to oppose your parents. You need to analyze the specific situation. Take Zhang Yuelu as an example, her opposition to her mother may not be right.
It's not necessarily wrong, at least it makes sense. But Qin Xiang's approach is fundamentally wrong.
Qi Xuansu also secretly became more cautious. There were actually people from the Eight Tribes here. According to Qiniang, the reason why these people rebelled from Taoism was mostly because their ideas were too radical and their methods were too cruel. They were beaten by Xuansheng and the second generation.
The Earth Master denied it and could not be tolerated by the Taoist sect, so he left the Taoist sect and continued his research.
Both the Celestial Master and the Earth Master have been passed down for a long time, but the Earth Master is different from the orderly inheritance of the Celestial Master. Its inheritance is very chaotic. So after Xuan Sheng revived the Taoist sect, he named his teacher Xu Wugui as the first generation Earth Master and the second generation Earth Master.
She is Xuansheng's junior sister and the first Quanzhen Taoist Great Master.
The second-generation Earth Master is also a legendary figure. He not only served as the Great Master of Quanzhen Taoism and was in charge of creation, but also bombarded Shangqing Town before Xuansheng integrated the Taoist sects. After Xuansheng integrated the Taoist sects, he married the Tianshi.
Becoming the mistress of the Zhang family. To be fair, the image of the second-generation Earth Master has never been associated with mercy and compassion. Instead, it is recognized that the methods are ruthless. Like Donghuang, his crimes are beyond anyone's ability to judge. But even so, the second-generation Earth Master
These people are still rejected, which shows how radical these people have become.
Different from Ziguang Sect, Zhiming Sect, and Lingshan Witch Sect, the world usually puts the Eight Tribes into the same category as Qingpinghui, Qibaofang, and "Inn". They tend to be neutral and do not deliberately oppose Taoism. But among these secret societies,
The eight tribes are the most unstable.
If you personify the secret society, Ziguang Society is a charming woman, Zhiming Sect is an old man full of death energy, Lingshan Witch Sect is a madman with bloody hands, "Tianting" is a delusional person, Qingping Society is a mysterious person, and Qibaofang is
A female businessman, and "Inn" is a male businessman, then Babu Zhong is a stubborn scholar. At first glance, he looks just like a normal person. There is still a bit of dullness in his bookish demeanor, but he doesn't know when he will go crazy.
It makes people hard to guard against.
You must be careful when dealing with the Eight Tribes.
However, the Qingping Society has contacts with the Eight Tribes, or can be called partners. The Eight Tribes need Taiping money, and the Qingping Society needs all kinds of weird research from the Eight Tribes, such as the technology to implant the secondary heart, which is the Qingping Society.
Obtained from the eight tribes.
The two of them continued on the road. Qin Xiang turned his head and stared at the man shrouded in clouds and mist, full of curiosity in his heart.
Qi Xuansu didn't have any ideas. After all, there was a lot of trouble in the sea. After meeting a woman like Zhang Yuelu, he had no interest in other women, and he was not a greedy person.
After walking for more than ten miles, a city appeared in their sight.
As Qiniang said, it is indeed just a small town, and the scale of Qianhusuo is far less than that of Xiping Prefecture.
Qi Xuansu signaled Qin Xiang to rein in his horse, then took out his cloak from the bag and handed it to Qin Xiang: "Remember to give it back to me."
Qin Xiang was stunned for a moment, then took Qi Xuansu's cloak and put it on him with a complicated expression, covering his face with a hood.
Qi Xuansu looked at the city in the distance and gently stroked his silver fish talisman.
It's said to be a city, but it's actually more like an earthen city.
It is really difficult for people to connect this kind of place with "Bai Yutang".
It seems that finding Bai Yutang is not an easy task.
