Qi Xuansu was looking at "Yinglong" from a distance, but he didn't know that he had fallen into the sight of another future mother-in-law.
After all, in this world, masters are almost as important as parents. Especially when many people never marry and have no children, the inheritance between masters and disciples is comparable to biological parents and children. If a disciple betrays his master, he will be punished by everyone.
Scorn and despise.
Even in many cases, the time that masters and disciples spend together is far greater than the time that parents and children spend together. It is also true that many people are close to their masters and alienated from their parents because of this.
From the perspective of parents, sometimes the closest relatives are not parents and children, but masters and disciples. Children take the kindness of their parents as a matter of course, and disciples take the kindness of their masters as repayment. This is not surprising.
In a sense, this is the case for Zhang Yuelu.
Zhang Yuelu has lived in Yujing for a long time, and Cihang also lives in Yujing. The master and apprentice often meet each other, and both of them are women, so they are really like mother and daughter. The relationship between Zhang Yuelu and her master is far better than her relationship with her biological mother.
Much better.
If Zhang Yuelu is not from the Zhang family, but from the Wanxiang Taoist Palace like Qi Xuansu, then the two of them are master and disciple as much as mother and daughter. However, with the addition of the Zhang family, Master Cihang has to pay more attention to the relationship between the two.
The distance between them is not too far beyond Zhang Yuelu's biological parents.
Qi Xuansu probably understood the reason, but he never thought that he would meet Master Cihang so early. After all, in his mind, Master Cihang was an unreachable big shot, and it would probably be until he became a high-quality Taoist priest that he would be able to see him.
Only for Zhang Yuelu's sake did he have the opportunity to meet the real person Cihang.
In fact, Qi Xuansu's idea is not wrong. In fact, Cihang knew about Qi Xuansu's existence, but she was not in a hurry to see him - firstly, because she respected Zhang Yuelu's wishes. Unless Qi Xuansu was a character like Li Minghuang, otherwise she would not
She is willing to interfere too much, and the second reason is that she has been very busy recently and has no time to care about such trivial matters.
The three deputy head masters all have their own palaces, and in fact the same is true for the three ministers with the status of "Crown Prince". Cihang Zhenren lives on Putuo Island in the South China Sea. This place was originally the dojo of the Buddhist Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, known as "Sea and Sky".
It was known as the "Buddhist Kingdom" and later returned to Taoism with the lineage of Zhenren Cihang, and it was named together with Penglai, Yingzhou and Fangzhang Sanxian Island in the East China Sea.
Putuo Island has Lianyang Wudu, Duangu Holy Relics, Meiwan Spring Dawn, Pantuo Sunset, Lotus Pond Night Moon, Fahua Cave, Ancient Cave Tide Sound, Rising Sun, Thousand Steps of Golden Sands, Guangxi Snow Ji, and Tea Mountain Sui.
Fog, Tianmen Qingfan, a total of twelve scenes, are world-famous, but ordinary people have no chance to see them, because the entire Putuo Island is the private property of Cihang Zhenren, just like the Zhang family's Yunjin Mountain, the Li family's Sanxian Island,
Without an invitation, you are not allowed to go to the island, and naturally you will not be able to see these beautiful scenery.
Master Cihang returned to Putuo Island in the South China Sea two years ago, and then expected to return to Yujing during the Lantern Festival. This seemed to everyone to be a very reasonable thing.
However, during the time when Cihang Zhenren left Yujing and returned to Putuo Island, the Daomen and the Holy Court had some disputes over sea trade. It was not big or small, but the Holy Court was not comparable to a secret society.
His status in the Western Continent is comparable to that of the Taoist Sect in the East, so he should not be neglected and should send a Master Shen Zhi to come forward.
Logically speaking, this matter should be stepped forward by the real person in charge of the Shibotang, who is closely related to the trade itself, or the real person in charge of the ancestral hall, which is related to etiquette and foreign affairs, or at the worst, the real person in charge of Jiangnan Province. , but it turned out that the Master personally named Cihang, who was in charge of the internal financial revenue and expenditure of the Taoism, to come forward. The reason was that Cihang happened to be on the other side of the South China Sea, and the Jiangnan Taoist Office was also her old subordinate, so there was no need to bother others with making an extra trip. trip.
What the Earth Master said was the truth, and it was not a big deal, so he did not raise any objections. However, he never thought that Cihang, who was always known for his shrewdness and ability, would deal with the matter with great procrastination, which lasted until the first month of the year. On the fifteenth day of the Lantern Festival, I was unable to return to Yujing.
It was not until today that Master Cihang embarked on his return journey.
At first glance, it seems to be just a coincidence. But since it is related to the Earth Master, it is no longer a coincidence.
Among the three deputy head masters, the Earth Master ranks first in arithmetic and fortune-telling. Looking at the entire Taoist sect, no one can surpass him. It can even be said that even if the Earth Master is the best person in the world in this Tao, he will not be the best. There will be too much controversy. At least on the surface, no one can overpower the Earth Master.
The Earth Master's seemingly random arrangement at the time finally came into play today. Master Cihang was not "trapped" in the Jade Capital. Although it took a certain amount of time to break through the numerous blockades set by the ancient immortals, she still managed to get there. He saved "Ying Long" and some Taoist disciples, prevented the situation from deteriorating further, and gave everything room for change.
This makes Taipingdao seem to have succeeded, but it has not achieved its full success.
As for why the National Preceptor did not immediately determine the movements of all the real people after becoming the rotating Grand Master, one reason is that the National Preceptor had many things on hand at the time and did not have the energy. The second reason is that the Supreme Master has great independent power and is not a prisoner. They are not low-level Taoist priests who have to stay at their posts. They don't have to sit in the prison room all day long. Sometimes they leave Yujing for a period of time, or stay in seclusion for a period of time, which is a common thing.
Even if the Imperial Preceptor is on duty, it is impossible to inquire about the whereabouts of a Master Shen Zhi without a suitable reason, let alone restrict the actions of the Master Shen Zhi. He can only summon a few masters for discussion reasons. The real person is isolated from the outside world for a short period of time.
As for sending people to monitor, the most obvious characteristic of the Taoist sect is that the higher the status, the higher the cultivation level. If you want to monitor a heavenly being, you must send a heavenly being of comparable strength. Master Cihang is not an ordinary heavenly being. How can he let Qing Qing Master Wei went to spy on Master Cihang? After spying on Master Cihang, what about the other masters? It is impossible for the national master to do such a thing with the dignity of the deputy headmaster and the great master. This is extremely unrealistic.
Therefore, Cihang did not show up after the Lantern Festival, and did not attract too much attention. Not only Cihang, but also the head of the ancestral temple and the Huasheng Hall were not in Yujing at that time. I only returned temporarily after receiving the notice of the meeting.
The headmaster of Feng Xiantang was responsible for conveying the orders of the Imperial Master. It was only at this time, with a suitable reason, that he could know the exact whereabouts of Master Cihang. Only then did he realize that Master Cihang had not yet settled the so-called dispute. But at this time, the arrow was already on the string and had to be fired. The only way was to draw the bow without turning back.
The game in this is not complicated, it is nothing more than a trick. Because all the conspiracies in this world are not foolproof. The links are like stringing beads. If there are too many beads, they will look exquisite, but as long as one link appears If there is a problem, the thread will break, the beads will scatter on the floor, and the matter will fail.
So conspiracy is not impossible, but it is also very difficult to succeed. In addition to planning, it is also up to God. In a word, it depends on luck. Even if you are extremely resourceful, it is impossible to make a good move. Even if you were good yesterday, you will be good today, and you will be good tomorrow.
, it is inevitable that you will make a wrong step in the future, so those who achieve great things in the world will mainly use conspiracy and conspiracy as a supplement.
The Imperial Preceptor has reduced the number of "beads" as much as possible, but there are still mistakes in the process of Cihang Zhenren. If the Imperial Preceptor had designed the entire plan to be extremely sophisticated, I don't know how many mistakes would have been made. I'm afraid the beads would be scattered.
The situation in one place.
The Earth Master knew all this from the beginning, and it was all planned by himself. Cihang Zhenren found out later. It was not the Earth Master who told her, but she guessed it herself, and everyone else was kept in the dark.
Even the majestic national master miscalculated, let alone Qi Xuansu, a small and low-grade Taoist priest. Even if he tried hard, he couldn't imagine that Master Cihang would appear here.
So when Qi Xuansu saw the woman in white appearing not far from him after a burst of lotus-shaped ripples, he did not realize the true identity of the woman in white and only thought that she was an ordinary second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest.
