At this moment, a person walked towards us. It was none other than Li Qingnu.
A-Ling had already taken the initiative to greet her, and said with respect and intimacy, "Miss."
Xiaohong's attitude was indifferent, and she saluted solemnly: "Miss."
This is completely opposite to the attitude of the two of them behind the scenes.
"Thank you for your hard work." Li Qingnu asked, "How is the situation?"
"There has been no movement." A Ling replied immediately.
Li Qingnu nodded and ordered: "You don't have to stay here anymore, go back and rest."
A Ling and Xiao Hong looked at each other, turned and left.
The two of them were far away, and A-ling said: "Xiaohong, let me tell you the truth. There must be something going on between the two of them, and they want to be alone."
Xiao Hong said nothing and had no expression on her face.
Li Qingnu walked into his boudoir alone.
Qi Xuansu had already arrived from the study room on the second floor to the living room on the first floor.
Seeing that Qi Xuansu didn't seem to be ill, Li Qingnu felt relieved, but still asked: "Is there no accident?"
Qi Xuansu said: "Everything goes well, thank you for your concern, Miss Li."
Li Qingnu walked straight to the main seat in the living room and sat down, saying: "I don't care about you, but you had an accident and I can't explain it to Qiniang."
Qi Xuansu sat diagonally opposite Li Qingnu and asked, "How are you planning on going to Liaodong?"
Li Qingnu replied: "We have already discussed it. In addition to Su Chou and Long Wuji, I will also send a confidant to go with me. The three of them are all at the stage of returning to the truth. Even if they are not as good as you, they are almost the same.
Already."
Qi Xuansu suddenly remembered the conversation between A Ling and Xiao Hong just now, and couldn't help but ask: "Is your confidant reliable?"
"What do you mean?" Li Qingnu raised an eyebrow.
Qi Xuansu said: "I don't mean anything else, I just feel that some people here don't seem to be convinced by you."
Li Qingnu was stunned and fell silent for the first time without any rebuttal.
After a moment, she slowly said: "Since you mentioned this, I will say it directly. It is true that some people are dissatisfied with me, but not everyone, there are still quite a few people who support me. This can be regarded as justice.
As long as I can overcome the many objections, I can officially become the adopted daughter of the Li family. As for others, I have met many people over the years, including dignitaries and various religions. I think I know a lot about people.
I am very capable and will not misjudge the wrong person. Since he is my confidant, I can trust him. So on this point, you can rest assured."
After Qi Xuansu heard what Li Qingnu said, he stopped dwelling on the matter and said instead: "You deliberately turned away the two people outside the door. It seems that there is something important."
Li Qingnu didn't show off: "It's true that I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, but this matter has nothing to do with me. I'm just a messenger. I want to congratulate you in advance, Taoist Master Qi."
Qi Xuansu's heart moved. For him, the happy event is to return to Taoism. There are only a handful of people who know his true identity. Apart from Qiniang and Li Qingnu, only Pei Xiaolou and Lei Xiaohuan are connected. The two are connected.
, the answer is already ready to come out.
Qi Xuansu asked: "Is it related to Zhenren Pei?"
"I can't hide anything from you." Li Qingnu was slightly surprised, "Zhenren Pei gave the letter to Qiniang first, and Qiniang then used the 'Xun Talisman Array' to deliver the letter to me."
Wutongyuan is very wealthy and makes money every day. It is not unusual to have a "message talisman array". The Zimu Talisman can allow people to communicate face to face, but it cannot transmit documents.
Li Qingnu took out an official letter envelope exclusive to the Taoist sect from his sleeve and handed it to Qi Xuansu. Because the letter cannot be folded at will, the envelope is much larger than that of ordinary believers. There is a paint seal on the back seal, which reads "Ziweitang Lei"
Six words "small ring".
The so-called lacquer seal, also known as "lacquer seal", is to melt the lacquer stick solidified on a copper stick on a fire, then paste it on the seal of the envelope, and then stamp it.
Whoever sends the letter will have his seal.
In other words, this was sent by Lei Xiaohuan himself.
You must know that Lei Xiaohuan's status in the Taoist sect is probably higher than that of Pei Xiaolou. Although he is not a real person, he is still a powerful figure.
Qi Xuansu couldn't help being surprised.
Li Qingnu said: "The lacquer seal is intact, I haven't seen it."
Qi Xuansu opened the envelope and found that in addition to a brand new Taoist priest's certificate, there were also two pieces of paper, one was ordinary letterhead and the other was very precious ivy paper.
Ivy paper is a special paper used by Taoists to write green poems. The materials used are very precious and the cost is high. When burning sacrifices to God, the fire lit is green and red, and the smoke is also colorful, which is very beautiful.
Later, the Taoist sect's official documents were all made of ivy paper.
Qi Xuansu first took the ordinary letter, which was a handwritten letter from Pei Xiaolou, but the tone was Lei Xiaohuan's. The content of the letter was very simple. He first asked about Qi Xuansu's current situation, and then only had one sentence in substance, asking Qi Xuansu to leave for Jinling immediately.
Report to Fuzhen Martial Arts Temple and discuss other matters in detail in person.
As for unblocking the joints, Master Donghua, returning to Taoism, etc., the letter did not mention a word about it. Even if the letter accidentally fell into the hands of others, there would not be any clue.
Qi Xuansu picked up the ivy paper again, which was an official letter from Ziwei Hall, transferring Qi Xuansu from Tiangang Hall to Ziwei Hall, and promoted him from deacon Taoist priest to principal Taoist priest, and assisted Lei Xiaohuan, the deputy head of Ziwei Hall, to go
Jinling Mansion investigates the case.
Qi Xuansu was really shocked. Although Tiangang Hall was the top three halls, Ziweitang was the first of the nine halls, and he was promoted from deacon Taoist priest to chief Taoist priest. This was a big promotion.
Thinking of this, Qi Xuansu took out the brand new Taoist ultimatum again.
This thing is a bit like the bun on the official uniform of the imperial court. When the rank changes, the bun will naturally have to be changed, so the Taoist priests often have to change the urn. Qi Xuansu has not moved from his position as a seventh-grade Taoist priest before, so there is no need to change the urn.
Later, although he had accumulated enough merits to be promoted to a sixth-grade Taoist priest, he never returned to the Taoist sect and pretended to die halfway, so naturally he could not replace the ultimatum.
This time it was finally time to change the ultimatum.
I saw the four big characters "Taishang Daomen" written clearly on the top of the urn, and the seven medium characters "Fifth Grade Taoist Qi Xuansu" in the middle. At the bottom, there were also four small characters "Alternate Sacrifice Wine" written as a note.
Qi Xuansu was surprised and happy.
Because of the age suspension system, he thought he could only be promoted to a sixth-grade Taoist priest, but he didn't expect that Ziweitang would be able to promote him to a fifth-grade Taoist priest in one step.
In terms of merit, Qi Xuansu must have done enough, and it violated the suspension system. However, Qi Xuansu then thought about it, Ziweitang was originally in charge of personnel affairs, and assessment and promotion were all within their scope. If they didn't even have this power,
What else do you care about personnel affairs?
As a result, Qi Xuansu is only one step away from becoming a fourth-grade Taoist priest.
According to Qiniang, after the three-year assessment period, you must become an eighth-grade Taoist priest within two years no matter what. If you pass the age of twenty-five, you will not even be an eighth-grade Taoist priest, and your life will be over.
Then you must be promoted to a seventh-grade Taoist priest within the next five years. If you reach the age of thirty and are not even a seventh-grade Taoist priest, you will be out of luck. You will be marginalized in the annual assessment and promotion.
If you can become a sixth-level Taoist priest before the age of thirty-five, you will be listed as a "preparatory wine sacrifice" by the Taoist sect. If you can become a fifth-level Taoist priest before the age of thirty-five, you will be listed as a "candidate for sacrificial wine" by the Taoist sect.
As long as the fourth grade Taoist priest is promoted, priority will be given to the candidate priests. In the same way, when the vacancy of the candidate priests is available, priority will be given to the preparatory wine priests.
Qi Xuansu is not only a fifth-grade Taoist priest, but also a candidate for the wine ceremony. His promotion to the fourth-grade wine priest is already a certainty, it is just a matter of time.
If you can become a fourth-grade Taoist priest before the age of thirty, you will have embarked on the road to success. You are truly young and promising, and your future is limitless. A second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest is also within your reach.
Qi Xuansu was in a daze, and before he knew it, he was about to join the ranks of "young talents".
Then there is the treatment.
The basic salary for a fifth-grade Taoist priest is fifty yuan of peace money per month, and the subsidy for the candidate's wine sacrifice is twenty yuan of peace money per month. Unfortunately, there is no special subsidy from Tiangang Hall, so the total can be seventy yuan of peace money per month.
The income is about 800 Taiping dollars a year.
However, when climbing up within a Taoist sect, few people do it for this small amount of money and subsidies. The key is the status of the Taoist sect. With the status of a Taoist priest, you have status and can hold power. After you have power, is Taiping money still a thing?
