The key to using troops is to use arms and hands, and fingers to use Tiangang Hall. The Tiangang Hall is the center of military use, and the soldiers of the Taoist sect are spiritual officers. Therefore, the Tiangang Hall is the hall with the most spiritual officers.
Since the spiritual officer is a soldier, then the Taoist priest is an official, and the cardinal who uses the official is Ziweitang. Therefore, Ziweitang, who holds the power of personnel, is the head of the nine halls.
All the halls are located in Xuandu. The only exception is Ziweitang, which is located in Zifu. It does not communicate directly with the other eight halls and is closest to Jinque. This alone can also show the transcendent status of Ziweitang.
To make the other eight halls look at him with suspicion.
Because Zifu is equivalent to the palace city of the Imperial Capital and is the center of Yujing. It not only has the Golden Tower, which symbolizes the highest authority of the Taoist sect, but also the Zixiao Palace where the Grand Master lives. It is located in Zhenjing Courtyard, Dazhenren Mansion, and Wanshou Palace.
Above the Chongyang Palace, the twin stars of Zixiao Palace and Jinque shine side by side. Naturally, Ziwei Palace cannot dominate the scene. So just from the appearance point of view, Ziwei Palace cannot be said to be simple, but when placed in the Jade Capital, which is full of fairy spirit, it appears
It is very ordinary. It is far from comparable to the other eight halls. It is also incomparable to many local Taoist mansions and Taoist palaces. It is just like an ordinary Taoist palace.
But it was such a seemingly ordinary place that determined the fate of hundreds of thousands of Taoist priests.
Lei Xiaohuan walked into Ziwei Hall and walked slowly along a path. Along the way, there were Taoist priests in cassocks standing there. This was also the only place in Jiutang where Taoist priests were used to replace spiritual officials. This was reflected in every place.
The transcendence of Ziweitang.
Lei Xiaohuan quickened his pace. These Taoist priests obviously recognized Lei Xiaohuan and did not stop him.
Lei Xiaohuan came to the main hall, and there was a plaque hanging above that said "The voice is heard in heaven". There was a young Taoist priest waiting here. When he saw Lei Xiaohuan coming, he silently led Lei Xiaohuan to the check-in office at the back.
Compared with the duty room in Tiangangtang, the duty room in Ziweitang is much smaller, and the furnishings inside are even simpler, with a table and a few chairs. Except for one chair placed behind the desk, the other chairs are placed on the left and right sides.
Wall placement.
After Lei Xiaohuan came in, he saw a picture in the middle hall: "The world is at peace."
It is said to have been written by Xuansheng himself and has been hanging for two hundred years.
There is a person sitting behind the table. His eyebrows are somewhat similar to Pei Xiaolou's, but his aura is not the same at all. He does not have the vulgarity and slickness of Pei Xiaolou, but only has the spirit of immortality, and exudes a bit of compelling majesty.
It was Lei Xiaohuan, who couldn't help but look solemn and didn't dare to show any slightness.
After the young Taoist priest led Lei Xiaohuan in, he quietly retreated.
The person behind the writing desk did not stand up to greet him, or even raised his head, and was still writing and writing.
Lei Xiaohuan didn't say anything, just stood and waited.
After a while, the Taoist finally finished approving the words, then raised his head and said in a deep and deep voice: "Brothers and sisters, don't be so formal. Please sit down."
Lei Xiaohuan then sat down on a chair.
The Taoist is none other than Pei Xiaolou's elder brother, the master in charge of Ziweitang, the second most important figure in Quanzhen Taoism, Donghua Master Pei Xuanzhi.
The word "Zhi" is used in the name, which means Taoist believers. It is similar to the Buddhist "Shi", "Fa" and "Tan" used in the name. Therefore, many times, the names of father and son are in the names of families who have followed Taoism for generations.
The word "Zhi" is used, and there is no so-called taboo expression, such as the famous calligrapher's family.
There is the word "zhi" in Pei Xuan's name, but Pei Xiaolou is not called Pei Louzhi. That is the attitude of the two brothers. Pei Xuanzhi has not gotten married yet, and the future Pei family will still fall on Pei Xiaolou. Lei
Xiaohuan is the mistress of the Pei family, and Pei Xuanzhi treats his sister-in-law quite politely.
Pei Xuanzhi asked: "What are you here for?"
"Yes." Lei Xiaohuan nodded.
Pei Xuanzhi nodded and took out a warrant from the case files stacked on the table. After confirming it, he put it on the table and pushed it forward.
Lei Xiaohuan quickly stood up and took it.
Pei Xuanzhi said: "I have read his file. Except for some problems with the suspension of years, there are no other problems. As for the suspension of years, as long as it is below the fourth grade, it can be solved within the rules. There is only one thing, you guys
How to explain the fact that he is not dead? If the explanation is not clear, it will be exposed and someone will use it to make an issue."
Lei Xiaohuan hesitated for a moment and said: "Linge means, in the name of brother..."
"Lin Ge" is Pei Xiaolou's nickname, and Lei Xiaohuan would only use this title in front of Pei Xuanzhi.
"It is announced to the outside world that I saved him. As long as I admit it, the matter will stop here. Is this what you mean?" Pei Xuanzhi was not surprised.
Lei Xiaohuan nodded.
Pei Xuanzhi did not comment, but instead said: "The future of Quanzhen Tao does not lie with the earth master, nor with me, but with the young disciples. When it comes to young people, it is not just as simple as one Yao Pei, a good man also needs three helpers.
, we need a large number of outstanding young people. I have read all his information and resume. His qualifications are not good, but his character is good. Qualifications can be made up for in the future, but character is innate. Such a person is born in Wanxiang Taoist Palace.
He should be a disciple of our Quanzhen Dao, but in the end he went to the Zhengyi Dao in a confused way, which is our loss to the Quanzhen Dao. I have to say that Zhang Yuelu still has some discernment, so it is abnormal for Zhang Yuelu to look down on him."
Lei Xiaohuan did not expect that Pei Xuan, as the real person in charge of Ziweitang, would understand the past experience of a low-grade Taoist priest in such detail, which showed his deep intentions. He couldn't help but ask tentatively: "Brother, what you mean is to let him return to the world."
Quanzhen Tao?"
Pei Xuan's way: "The destruction of the Yuan family is just the tip of the iceberg. I don't know how big the iceberg is hidden under the sea. Jinque has decided that Ziweitang will take the lead and join forces with Tiangangtang, Beichentang, Fengxiantang, Duzhitang, and Wanshou
Chongyang Palace and Jiangnan Provincial Government have set up a temporary investigation team to conduct an in-depth investigation. Among the members, Lin Ge represents Wanshou Chongyang Palace, Zhang Yuelu represents Tiangang Hall, and Ziweitang still lacks a representative, so you will come forward.
Do you have any objection to putting him under your name?"
"No." Lei Xiaohuan replied with lowered hands.
Pei Xuanzhi waved his hand: "That's it."
"Yes." Lei Xiaohuan respectfully exited the room.
…
Qi Xuansu and Xu Kou reboarded the iron ship and continued northward along the Grand Canal.
The prosthetic leg was wrapped in cloth by Qi Xuansu and carried on his back, which did not attract much attention.
After passing three more checkpoints, at the sixth checkpoint, the iron ship temporarily docked and replenished some coal. Qi Xuansu also disembarked and bought a copy of Daomen's Di newspaper.
Although it is a Daomendi newspaper, it is published by Qingping Bookstore and published all over the world. Anyone can buy it, but the quantity is limited and sometimes it may not be available. Qi Xuansu was lucky today and happened to buy a copy.
Qi Xuansu saw at first glance that Jinque had made the decision to set up a temporary investigation team for the Zixian Mountain case, but did not announce the list of members. This is also the style of the Taoist sect. It never conceals the general direction, but in the specific details
For reasons of confidentiality and other reasons, information is often blurred. Qi Xuansu speculated that Zhang Yuelu and Pei Xiaolou must be one of them.
Furthermore, people who have read Di newspapers for many years will understand the truth. The more words or the fewer words, the bigger the matter. If the number of words reaches the point of being lengthy, then the essay is used to integrate people's hearts and occupy the rightful name.
And the moral high ground. The fewer words, very concise, without any comments or detailed interpretation, it shows the seriousness of the situation.
Qi Xuansu never expected that his killing of Su Ran in Zixian Mountain would lead to this situation. It can be said that his whole body was affected by a single move.
If the matter were exposed, I don't know how many people would want to put him to death.
Every time he thought about this, Qi Xuansu felt a chill down his back.
In addition, the Di newspaper also disclosed Liu Futong's crimes and the process of solving the case, and wrote a special book about Zhang Yuelu. If Qi Xuansu had not known Zhang Yuelu's character, he would have thought that Zhang Yuelu paid someone to praise herself.
As for Liu Futong's fate, although he has not been finally convicted, he will probably die, and his property will be confiscated. As for his family, including his concubines and illegitimate children, the Taoist sect will not be implicated, but it will not pity or sympathize with them.
From now on, I am no longer a lady, a lord, or a young lady, I have to be self-reliant.
Finally, there was some ordinary news. Qi Xuansu glanced at it and found a piece of news released by Wuxu Palace, offering a reward for the murderer of Wan Xiuwu, a disciple of Wuxu Palace. As long as it was confirmed to be correct in the end, the person who provided the information would be rewarded with a thousand Taiping coins.
Whoever captures or kills the murderer will be rewarded five thousand peace coins.
To be honest, Qi Xuansu himself was a little moved.
