There are two main reasons why Qi Xuansu did not end up like Liu Futong this time.
One reason is that Su Yan remained neutral and did not act rashly like Su Ran.
Another reason is that what makes people fearful is not the identity of the fifth-grade Taoist priest, but the official letter from Ziweitang signed by Donghua Zhenren himself. Fifth-grade Taoist priests often have it, but Taoist priests appointed by Donghua personally do not often have it.
At this point, Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu are very similar. They are both low-grade and high-ranking. Zhang Yuelu is a fourth-grade Taoist priest who was promoted to deputy hall master by the Earth Master. Because Donghua Zhenren is one level lower than the Earth Master, Qi Xuansu is also better than Zhang Yuelu.
The lower level is the fifth-grade Taoist priest, who was promoted to the main Taoist priest.
Generally speaking, it is not uncommon for high-grade Taoist priests to hold low-level positions. Second-grade Taiyi Taoist priests hold lower-ranking deputy hall masters, deputy palace masters, and assistants, which are high-grade and low-level positions, such as Shangguan Jing.
The reason is not complicated. Either Jin Que believes that he is not capable enough to hold a position equivalent to his Taoist priest level, so he arranges it downwards. Or, a certain position is particularly important, and Jin Que pays special attention to it, so he specially arranges for people above the position.
Taoist priests are appointed to strengthen management. There is also a special situation. When a major problem arises and a temporary emergency is needed, Jinque will appoint a high-grade Taoist priest to temporarily hold a low-level position. With the advantage of the Taoist priest's grade, he can make decisions and respond quickly, saving a lot of money.
There is no need to argue. Once the situation stabilizes, it will be adjusted normally.
However, it is very rare for low-grade Taoist priests to hold high-level positions, and the reasons are not complicated. Except for temporary acting in special emergencies, such as the death of the deputy hall master, the Taoist priest in charge temporarily acts as the deputy hall master's command. In other cases, four words are enough.
Summary: The future is bright.
Generally speaking, fourth-grade Taoist priests hold the chief position, but Qi Xuansu has a fifth-grade Taoist priest. In addition, Donghua Zhenren personally appoints him and arranges to participate in the investigation. Anyone can see that this is someone who is involved.
Master Donghua’s discernment means a bright future. No matter how hard you try to find trouble, you will never get through with Master Donghua.
Qi Xuansu never expected that when he was in Yizhuang, Fengtai County, he casually said, "Master Donghua would like to say hello to the commander." His original intention was to confuse the audience, but in the end, his words came true, and he actually became Donghua.
For people like Zhen Hua, nothing is more permanent than this.
Seeing that Qi Xuansu refused to accept his official ticket, Lu Fu'an did not dare to say anything, so he could only lead his people and leave Huasheng Hall in despair.
Huashengtang, which was very busy just now, immediately became quieter.
Su Yan is still normal. She is also the Taoist priest in charge of Jiutang. In terms of Taoist priest grade, she is still higher than Qi Xuansu, so there is nothing to be afraid of. In her opinion, being related to Donghua Zhenren of Quanzhen Taoism is also a good thing.
The surname is Qi, and most of them are descendants of the Qi family of Quanzhen Taoism.
Su Yan signaled Qi Xuansu to follow her to the back hall where the pledge room was located. After all, they were all members of the Taoist sect, so the pledge room was not a forbidden area.
The layout of Su Yan's signing room is very simple and not luxurious. Compared to Liu Futong's signing room, it is far inferior. It is not much different from an ordinary study room. It only has some more green plants such as spider plants to add to the study room.
A touch of bright color.
The two sat down separately, and Su Yan asked directly: "Isn't your surname Wei? Why do you have the same surname again? And you suddenly became a Taoist priest?"
Qi Xuansu had already thought of his excuse: "I have always been a Taoist priest of the Taoist sect. Just to investigate the case, I changed my name and disguised myself. Now that my errand has come to an end, I will go to Jinling Mansion to resume my life soon, so there is no need to continue hiding."
Already."
"Is it convenient to disclose the progress of the case?" Su Yan asked, "To be honest, one of my cousins was also involved, but she is already dead. She has just been transferred to the head of the Zixian Mountain Huasheng Hall branch.
Half a year ago, it should have nothing to do with the Yanqing Chamber of Commerce. Whether it was because he was silenced or for other reasons, there is no explanation yet."
Qi Xuansu's heart tightened, but the expression on his face remained unchanged: "Master Su should know the rules. Before the case is closed, without the instructions from above, you cannot disclose the progress of the case at will. Please forgive me, Master Su."
Su Yan was not an unreasonable person. Although he did not hide his disappointment, he still nodded and said: "I understand, I can understand."
She stopped asking further and asked instead: "What's the gambling fight you just mentioned about?"
Qi Xuansu roughly recounted what happened.
After Su Yan heard this, he couldn't help but said: "So, this young master of the Lu family is indeed very mean. Not only does he force women, he is also narrow-minded and can't afford to lose. The Lu family has been completely embarrassed by him."
Qi Xuansu placed the jade pendant on Su Yan's desk and said, "Please ask Mr. Su to estimate the price. As long as it's similar, I'll sell it."
In business, Su Yan was not polite to Qi Xuansu: "The Lu family themselves said that the original price of this thing was five thousand Taiping coins. The high-grade spiritual objects are indeed worth this price, but in my opinion, the applicability is too low, that is, this
Only the young masters from aristocratic families who are not short of money will buy it, which is a bit like taking advantage of others. In addition, it is a second-hand product, so I can't buy it at the original price, so I can only give it a price of 2,500 Taiping taels."
The acceptable price for Qi Xuansu was 3,000 Taiping coins, and he immediately said: "Even if the asking price is high and you have to pay back the money, after all, it is a genuine spiritual object, and it is too much to cut it off in the middle. Besides, even if it is second-hand, it is still too much."
The young master of an aristocratic family is for his own use, and he is not comparable to rough people like us who have been through the wind and rain."
Su Yan shook his head and said: "Even if it is for the princess's own use, it is second-hand, not new."
Qi Xuansu said: "Add five hundred Taiping coins to make a round number, three thousand Taiping coins, and I will sell it."
Mountains of soil and seas of water formed. The two of them struggled for a long time over the five hundred Taiping coins. Finally, Su Yan came up with a compromise plan: "Let's take a step back. I'll pay two thousand Taiping coins and two more."
A mysterious jar, which can be considered three thousand Taiping. If you don’t agree, then I can only offer you two thousand five hundred Taiping, or you can go to the black market to see the market price."
Qi Xuansu also knew that this kind of spiritual object was different from the "Flame Knife". It was difficult to sell and had a price but no market. He had to leave for Jinling again, and there was no time to go to the black market. After arriving at Jinling Mansion, he might not have time to go to the black market.
After thinking about it, Qi Xuansu could only agree to Su Yan's proposal, but he also vaguely felt that Su Yan had no good intentions and wanted to clean up the inventory of Xuanxuan jars.
But Qi Xuansu still had hopes for his own luck, and he still kept thinking about the "Three Cing and Three Ding Fire Method". After all, it would be too painful to have an empty treasure and not be able to use it.
Su Yan didn't lie to him. When these Xuanxuan jars were shipped, there was a list attached, which roughly recorded what was in these jars. It was just that the specific contents of which jar were unknown. This was also the case for Su Yan.
You will be curious about what Qi Xuansu can prescribe.
Seeing that Qi Xuansu agreed, Su Yan immediately asked someone to send him the contract. After signing the contract, he handed over the money and delivered the goods, and then led Qi Xuansu to a familiar warehouse.
Qi Xuansu randomly picked a Xuanxuan jar and directly opened the sealing talisman.
After a burst of light, there was an old official ticket worth two hundred Taiping coins on the table.
"Congratulations." Su Yan was too lazy to hide it.
Qi Xuansu's face twitched slightly, and he silently put away the old official ticket, comforting himself that it was not a total loss. However, he did not plan to sell it, but decided to keep it as a souvenir.
There is also a Xuanxuan jar.
Qi Xuansu took one casually, took a deep breath, and opened the seal again.
After the light flashed, there was an old thread-bound book on the table.
Qi Xuansu was overjoyed and looked at it intently. He saw the words "Three C and Three Ding Fire Methods" written clearly on the cover.
To be fair, this is a successful method, and it is a copy that can be printed at will. If it were just a secret book of this method, Qi Xuansu would not be very happy, but after having the "Nine Yang Lihuo Shield", its value is comparable to
It's better than a perfect method.
Qi Xuansu couldn't help but put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "Master Su will never deceive me."
This time it was Su Yan's turn to be embarrassed: "Finally, your wish came true."
Qi Xuansu clasped his fists and said: "We are happy together."
Not long later, Qi Xuansu left the branch of Huasheng Hall with two thousand peace coins and a copy of "Three C and Three Ding Fire Methods" with satisfaction.
After returning to Wutongyuan, Qi Xuansu spent most of the day studying the "Three Cing and Three Ding Fire Techniques". With his cultivation in the stage of returning to the truth, it was not difficult to practice the Zhongcheng method. He soon got a glimpse of the method.
Although there is still a long way to go before entering the palace, it is enough to control the "Nine Yang Lihuo Hood (imitation)".
The treasure is indeed a treasure. With the method of controlling it, it can be reduced to the size of an ordinary bell and can be hung around the waist. It no longer needs to be placed in a box. In addition, even if it is not used against the enemy, as long as the magic power is injected, it will
