"No, I'm here to visit." Pei Xiaolou replied. After working together for this period of time, he was really afraid of this junior, and he was afraid of taking everything seriously.
Qi Xuansu breathed a sigh of relief. He was not completely ready to see Zhang Yuelu.
To be fair, Qi Xuansu does not have a submissive temperament when meeting women, and he has no intention of pretending to be a henpecked person. The reason why he is afraid of Zhang Yuelu is not because Zhang Yuelu has a higher status, nor because Zhang Yuelu has a strong personality, but because he deceived Zhang Yuelu and knew that
Just as they were talking, the two came to a single-family courtyard. Two spiritual officials were guarding the door. After seeing Pei Xiaolou, they all saluted and let him go.
Although they are spiritual officials of Ziweitang, and Pei Xiaolou is affiliated to the Wanshou Chongyang Palace of the local Taoist government, everyone knows that this real person’s brother and wife are both high-level officials of Ziweitang. They are not from Ziweitang but are better than Ziweitang.
Naturally, the people of Weitang do not dare to neglect even a little bit.
Soon, Qi Xuansu met the tall Lei Xiaohuan in the study.
Qi Xuansu saluted Lei Xiaohuan according to the rules of superiors and subordinates.
"Tian Yuan, I haven't seen you for a while." Lei Xiaohuan waved his hand, indicating that Qi Xuansu did not need to be polite. Although her cultivation level is very high, she is somewhat similar to Taoist Ji. Most of the time, she is in name only and does not participate.
He occasionally acts as the special envoy of Master Donghua for various matters, and is not very used to these rules and etiquette.
Qi Xuansu said: "After we said goodbye to Xijing Mansion, I never thought that it would be involved in the big case of Zixian Mountain."
Pei Xiaolou said happily: "Thanks to the big case of Zixian Mountain, the last big case in Jiangnan made Zhang Yuelu fall into the eyes of the Earth Master, and he rose to prominence. This big case of Zixian Mountain made you fall into the eyes of my brother.
, If it hadn’t been for this case, your return to Taoism might not have been so easy.”
Seeing that Qi Xuansu was a little confused, Lei Xiaohuan added: "In the last major Jiangnan case, Donghua Zhenren proposed to use Fang Linhou as a wedge to carve a gap in the black curtain to completely solve the problem. Unfortunately, it failed.
The big case of Zixian Mountain is undoubtedly a second chance."
"So that's it." Qi Xuansu suddenly realized. It seems that the battle between the two major factions had already started as early as the Jiangnan case. However, it was still under the table at that time. At most, it was an undercurrent. This time, it was almost
It's time to move to the bright side.
"Okay, let's get down to business." Lei Xiaohuan sat behind the desk, "Sit down and talk, don't be formal."
Qi Xuansu sat down at the bottom of Pei Xiaolou.
Lei Xiaohuan carefully considered his words and said: "I don't like to talk in circles. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. The main ones are six points. First, starting from the fifth day of May, you will no longer be a disciple of the Zhengyi Tao and return to the Quanzhen Tao. You
Do you have any objections?"
According to convention, after entering the Taoist gate, Taoist boys from the Wanxiang Taoist Palace are considered Quanzhen Taoist disciples by default. This is exactly what Bai Yingqiong said.
High-quality Taoist priests can also accept Taoist boys from Wanxiang Dao Palace as disciples. If the master is a person from the Zhengdao, then the disciple will be classified as a Zhengdao. If the master is a person from the Taiping Dao, then the disciple will be classified as a Taiping Dao.
Qi Xuansu's master, Qi Haoran, was a member of the Zhengyi sect, so Qi Xuansu was also classified as a member of the Zhengyi sect.
However, Qi Xuansu only has feelings for his master and has no obsession with Zhengyiyi. The last trip to Yunjin Mountain even wiped out his good impression of Zhengyiyi. On the contrary, it was Pei Xiaolou, Lei Xiaohuan and Ji from Quanzhen Taoism.
All the Taoists were kind to him, and there was even a real Donghua whom he had never met. In comparison, he had a more favorable impression of Quanzhen Taoism.
Although Zhang Yuelu is a member of the righteous Taoist sect, Zhang Yuelu has a close relationship with the Earth Master. She has even considered joining the Quanzhen Tao. Moreover, Zhang Yuelu cares about the Taoist sect as a whole, not the interests of the Taoist sect as a whole, so she should not object to his joining.
Quanzhen Tao.
Among the three Taoists, the one who really had a grudge against Qi Xuansu was Taiping Tao. Shen Yuxi, Shen Mingshu, Su Ran, Liu Futong, Lu Yunfeng, Li Tianzhen, and the matter of "Xuanyu" were all involved in Taiping Tao.
Qi Xuansu said: "As long as you don't join Taiping Dao, I have no objection."
"Of course we won't let you join Taiping Dao." Lei Xiaohuan smiled, "Second point, you already know that you have been transferred to Ziweitang. At this point, Master Donghua and Master Cihang are the same
If we have communicated with you, Master Cihang already knows about your matter, but at the request of Master Donghua, Master Cihang did not inform Zhang Yuelu about the matter, so we decided to leave this opportunity to you."
Qi Xuansu smiled bitterly, not knowing what to say.
It can only be said that these big people still know how to sympathize with the little people. It doesn't depend on whether they can, but whether they want to.
Lei Xiaohuan continued: "The third point is about your promotion to a fifth-grade Taoist priest. I have to say that thanks to Zhang Yuelu, this little girl is also very affectionate and loyal. Even if you encounter an accident, she will still fight against everyone's opinions and help you.
You retained your position and were reported missing instead of dead. In addition, she did not forget to give you credit and was not afraid that all the credit would be in vain."
"The two of you who destroyed the ancient immortal's 'Shenjiang' count as one 'Di Zi Gong', which is three 'Xuan Zi Gong'. After excluding half of the imperial court, there are still one 'Xuan Zi Gong' and two 'Huang Zi Gong'
', plus the five bosses, there are a total of six 'Xuan Zi Gong' and two 'Huang Zi Gong'. You already have two 'Huang Zi Gong', plus one 'Huang Zi Gong' and two
One 'Xuanzi Gong' makes up three 'Xuanzi Gong'. In this way, it is enough for you to be promoted from a seventh-grade Taoist priest to a fifth-grade Taoist priest. However, due to the suspension of years system, you can only enjoy the benefits of being promoted to a sixth-grade Taoist priest.
The treatment of a fifth-grade Taoist priest."
"However, it is a great achievement for you to uncover the big case of Zixian Mountain. This case is a bit sensitive. I can't give you credit overtly, so I can only reward you secretly. So Ziweitang made an exception and promoted you to a fifth-grade Taoist priest and a candidate for sacrificial wine."
treatment."
Qi Xuansu nodded to express his understanding.
Lei Xiaohuan said: "Fourth point, how did you survive? No matter who asks or checks, there is only one answer. It was Master Donghua who saved you, and he saved you afterwards, otherwise Donghua cannot be explained.
Why didn't Mr. Hua save other people? If someone asks for specific details, just say you don't know. You only know that you have an extra 'secondary heart'. Because you were unconscious at the time, it is only reasonable that you don't know. Let them ask directly.
Donghua Zhenren."
Qi Xuansu said clearly: "This is a good statement."
There are many people who can interrogate Qi Xuansu, but there are almost no people who are qualified to interrogate Zhenren Donghua. Of course the three deputy head masters, Da Zhenren, have this qualification, but they all have many things to do and will not waste their time for a small person.
"Fifth point, after you were rescued, why didn't you return to Tiangang Hall?" Lei Xiaohuan glanced at the note written in advance, "Because Master Donghua has arranged a special errand for you. This errand is top secret. If anyone asks
Get up and let them ask me, or ask Master Donghua directly."
Qi Xuansu asked: "What if Qing Xiao asked, would he answer like this?"
"Of course you can't answer that." Pei Xiaolou continued, "Your special mission is to investigate the 'Taoist people who secretly hold umbrellas for secret associations', referred to as 'umbrella people'. You appeared in Cuowenbu for
Investigating Bai Yutang; appearing in Xijing Prefecture and being chased by Feng Bo was to investigate the "Tianting"; these are the categories of secret associations. As for Zixian Mountain, Jiangling Prefecture, Wannian County, and Bohai Prefecture, they are related to Taiping
It is related to Taoism and belongs to the category of umbrella-holders. Because the big case of Zixian Mountain has not been closed yet, these cannot be regarded as merits, but they can be regarded as hard work. This is the reason why you were promoted to the Taoist priest in charge. As for Qin Wubing, Qin Gongfu and his son
Bian, I have already explained it, no matter who checks it, it will be flawless."
"Stop talking big words. If something goes wrong, you are the only one to ask." Lei Xiaohuan glanced at him.
Lei Xiaohuan finally said: "Sixth point, why can't you reveal your identity? You can also blame it on Donghua Master and the errand, but how to avoid making the little girl sad, then it depends on your ability."
Pei Xiaolou helped: "We have done everything we can, but we can't do everything. You have to do something."
Qi Xuansu smiled bitterly and said: "This is natural."
Lei Xiaohuan said: "In my opinion, Miss Zhang is a girl who understands the general situation, is open-minded, and has a generous temper. She won't care about such small things, so you don't have to worry too much."
Qi Xuansu sighed: "Even if she doesn't care, I still care."
Lei Xiaohuan glanced at him: "You still have a conscience, unlike Pei Xiaolou, who is a murderer."
"You're talking about other people's affairs, why does it involve me again?" Pei Xiaolou said anxiously.
Lei Xiaohuan ignored him and continued: "Before this, I was not familiar with Ms. Zhang Yuelu and Zhang, but during the time I spent working with her, I admire her both in her attitude towards work and in her conduct as a person.
Tianyuan, you can't let me down. To put it bluntly, after passing this village, there won't be this store anymore."
Qi Xuansu said seriously: "This is natural."
Lei Xiaohuan changed the subject: "But you don't have to belittle yourself. I think your level of cultivation is not as good as Zhang Yuelu's, but you have already reached the sixth or seventh floor of the return to true stage. With your background in the Wanxiang Dao Palace, without the help of your family, you can't
With the help of my master, I am alone. Even though I have Qiniang to guide me and have some chance encounters, I still have the experience of narrow escape. In the end, I have to risk my life. I remember that the last time I saw you, you broke an arm. It was very painful.
It’s miserable. From this point of view, it’s really not that bad.”
Qi Xuansu just said: "Master Lei is ridiculously complimentary."
Lei Xiaohuan looked at him intently for a while, then suddenly smiled and said: "Let's put aside these external things, let's just talk about human nature. Although I am a rough person, I am also a woman, and I can still notice something. She is so desperate.
It's because of your seriousness in doing things, but it's also because of the melancholy in your heart. This melancholy started because of you, but you risked your life to save her, and you really deserve her friendship. What does this mean? I don't understand romance, in my opinion
, this is a match made in heaven. Tantai Qiong doesn't like you because she is blind. You just have to be yourself and marry Zhang Yuelu in the future. If the Zhang family doesn't come to drink your wedding wine, we will come to drink your wedding wine. I'm afraid
