In name, Qi Xuansu is dead. Although at Zhang Yuelu's insistence, Tiangang Hall still retains Qi Xuansu's position, everyone understands that it is just a little comfort given to them by Deputy Hall Master Zhang. After all, Qi Xuansu gave up himself to save Zhang Yuelu.
, I’m afraid it will be difficult for Deputy Hall Master Zhang to get out of his rut.
Qi Xuansu also understood this and did not dare to do it in front of acquaintances.
When Pei Xiaolou appeared, Qi Xuansu was happy at first, and then worried. Because he was already a "dead person", he didn't know what Pei Xiaolou's attitude would be.
But now it seems that Pei Xiaolou is not too surprised that Qi Xuansu is not dead. Thinking about the good relationship between Pei Xiaolou and Qiniang, Qi Xuansu can almost conclude that Pei Xiaolou has a close relationship with Qingping, maybe Qingping
The members of the association may also be one of the Qingping Association's connections within the Taoist sect.
Thinking of this, Qi Xuansu stopped being nervous, held his severed arm, and followed Pei Xiaolou honestly.
Behind him, people from the inn also came over. The seldom-shown proprietress obviously recognized Pei Xiaolou and took the initiative to greet him.
The landlady is very beautiful, with a graceful figure, and a bit of coquettishness in her dignity. Two or completely opposite auras coexist perfectly in her, giving her an indescribable feeling.
Pei Xiaolou no longer remained serious, walked forward, playfully joked with the proprietress, and then said: "It's a sky-high courtyard."
The landlady responded, glanced at Qi Xuansu, turned around and walked away.
Taking advantage of this time, Qi Xuansu went to the ruins again and took out the rest of his luggage. Fortunately, his bad horse escaped and was just a little frightened.
Qi Xuansu put his luggage back into the saddle bag. This poor horse was somewhat smart and followed Qi Xuansu without having to hold the reins.
Arriving at the new courtyard, Pei Xiaolou motioned Qi Xuansu to sit down. He first touched Qi Xuansu's wound and swept away the remaining sword energy, then took the severed arm from Qi Xuansu's hand and connected it to the broken wound.
The wound began to heal on its own, and the broken meridians, bones, joints, flesh, and skin seemed to be glued together and squirmed gently.
Pei Xiaolou sighed: "The warrior's flesh-and-blood realm is good for this. No matter how severe the trauma is, it is nothing. If it were a Qi Refiner or a Sanren, he would have no choice but to go to the Huasheng Hall."
Qi Xuansu said: "Thank you Master Pei."
"What's there to thank you for? Even if they're not bullying you, but others, I can just sit back and ignore them?" Pei Xiaolou said indifferently, "They think they are powerful, but it is the reputation of the Taoist sect that is ruined.
.In the eyes of the world, what is a Taoist sect? Those of us who belong to a Taoist sect are the Taoist sect. If they do bad things, others will write them down on the Taoist sect's head one by one. In the end, the good thing is that they get a bad reputation, and the Taoist sect will bear it."
"This kind of people only think about themselves. As long as they get profit, they can be a Taoist or Confucian sect. Today the Taoist sect is strong, they can be members of the Taoist sect. Tomorrow, if the Buddhist sect is strong, they can also join the Buddhist sect. So I don't ask them to do anything for them.
Whatever the Taoist sect does, I just hope that they don’t use it as a tool for their own dominion and misfortune. Thank God. If one day the Taoist sect takes the old path of the Confucian sect, and no eggs are left intact under the nest, I will do it for myself and my descendants.
Future generations will not tolerate it either."
Qi Xuansu didn't expect Pei Xiaolou to have such an opinion despite his usual idleness. Sure enough, there are no simple people who can reach the position of a real person.
Qi Xuansu nodded and said, "That's what the real person said."
Pei Xiaolou held it up for a while, then sent Qi Xuansu a burst of energy to clear the meridians, then let go and said: "Thanks to the realm derived from flesh and blood, your arm has been connected, but it hasn't been fixed yet. I think
It will take at least half a month to fully recover."
Qi Xuansu thanked him again.
Pei Xiaolou was quite interested in talking, and returned to the previous topic: "I occasionally read some Confucian books. Confucianism used to be Neo-Confucianism, but now it is Mind Science, plus Qi Science, which corresponds to the three principles of our Taoism.
Tao. The sages of Neo-Confucianism said that reason is good and Qi is evil. Reason is an eternal existence. Whether you practice it or not, it is always there. Just like the wind in the sky, there is an east wind in spring and a west wind in autumn. In spring, the east wind moves everything, and in autumn, everything is born.
The west wind brings all things under control. It is good to be born, and it is also good to be subdued. The Spring and Autumn Dynasties are in order, and the four seasons are consistent, so that all things can rest and thrive. This is the principle of heaven."
"Qi is everywhere, moving with the wind, moving against the wind, and moving even if there is no wind. When the Neo-Confucian sage said that qi is evil, he refers to the qi without wind. For example, human desires,
If you want what is yours, you want it even if it is not yours. Everyone has an insatiable heart, and this is the spirit of being without morals and guidance."
"Once this energy is released, it spreads everywhere, fighting from top to bottom. Officials will be greedy, and people working for the people will steal. So the evil energy will be everywhere." He paused and raised his voice: "But in the sky,
After all, there is a sun that shines brightly, and the windless energy will eventually dissipate. In all dynasties, when there is no wind but only energy, the energy is about to run out."
Qi Xuansu seemed to understand what he heard, but he was good at grasping the key points. What was the wind?
The sun in the sky?”
Pei Xiaolou clapped his hands together and praised: "What an understanding!"
Qi Xuansu completely understood that what Pei Xiaolou was talking about was the selection of the new Grand Master of the Taoist sect.
Although Qi Xuansu is far away in the world, he cannot escape. He still hears a few words about the Grand Master, which shows the great impact of this matter.
But Qi Xuansu didn't care much. If the situation was compared to a chessboard, he might not even be considered a pawn. Taking ten thousand steps back, even if he could barely be a pawn, he would be the most numerous and most likely to be regarded as an abandoned pawn.
The Grand Master is a veteran, there is only one, and it is related to the outcome of the chess game. Just like his name, it is really a huge difference.
Why should he think about these unrealistic things? Just be a pawn with peace of mind.
Qi Xuansu changed the topic and asked: "Why is Master Pei here?"
Pei Xiaolou said: "As a disciple of Quanzhen Taoism, is it strange to appear in Wuxu Palace?"
Qi Xuansu asked again: "Master Pei seems not surprised that I am still alive."
Pei Xiaolou said: "Qiniang has already told me about your matter. She asked me to take care of you. Don't let you die or be disabled. Just treat it as repayment of the debt."
Qi Xuansu was both moved and surprised.
Qiniang is not a person who likes to show her emotions too much. She is very annoying and sensational. Just like many mothers in the world, she will scold her children and withhold money from her children, but she pays a lot of care in invisible places.
.
If Pei Xiaolou hadn't said it himself, Qi Xuansu would not have known that it was Qiniang's special care, but would have remembered his kindness to Pei Xiaolou.
As for surprise, Qi Xuansu did not expect that the real person Pei Xiaolou still owed Qiniang a debt.
Pei Xiaolou saw the surprised expression on Qi Xuansu's face and coughed lightly: "Didn't Qiniang and I lose money when we started a business partnership? The main responsibility is still mine, so I owe some debts of favor."
Qi Xuansu couldn't help but think that Qiniang was also a Taoist master in the past, right?
Pei Xiaolou asked: "When I came out, I saw you and the people from 'Little Tiangang'. What happened?"
Qi Xuansu told the story exactly as it happened.
After hearing this, Pei Xiaolou said thoughtfully: "It turned out to be Feng Bo from 'Tian Ting', but the people from 'Xiao Tiangang' have already gone after him. Although these people are arrogant and domineering, they still have some real abilities. Otherwise,
The Qinzhou Taoist Government will not indulge them like this, and Uncle Feng cannot get anything good from him, so he can't say anything will be left behind."
Qi Xuansu moved his arm a little, but he still felt a little painful and disobedient, but he could feel it, which meant there was no big problem.
Pei Xiaolou suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Qiniang has entrusted me with the matter of your return to Taoism. I will smoothen some relationships and find a suitable reason for you. I may not ask my brother to come forward, but if necessary
A period of time. During this period of time, you can go do your own thing."
This was a big surprise for Qi Xuansu.
Qi Xuansu said seriously: "Thank you Master Pei."
Pei Xiaolou waved his hand and said meaningfully: "But Miss Zhang is not that easy to fool. How to pass her test is up to you. I can't help you."
