Qi Xuansu did not worry about Xie Qiuniang's true identity. He looked at the man who had been silent and asked: "I haven't asked, who is this brother?"
There was no need for Qin Xiang to introduce him, the man had already taken the initiative and said: "Xijing Mansion, Zhao Xuanting."
Qi Xuansu immediately thought of someone.
The Little Qin King of Qingpinghui.
When Qi Xuansu met Li Qingnu for the first time, Li Qingnu told him the news on Qiniang's orders: He was being targeted by a group of people and he had to be careful during this period. These people were all members of the Qingping Society.
The other members, whose names are Xiao Qin Wang, Xie Qiuniang, and Huajian Yi respectively. According to Qiniang's news, Xiao Qin Wang and Xie Qiuniang went to Zhongzhou, while Huajian Yi has been sending people to pay attention to his movements.
The group of swindlers Qi Xuansu met in Jinguan Mansion seemed inexplicable at the time, but after thinking about it carefully, they were probably Hua Jianyi's subordinates.
Together with Xie Qiuniang, this person's surname is Zhao, and he is from the Xijing Prefecture. Daxuan died before the Great Wei, before the Great Wei was the Great Jin, and before the Great Jin was the Great Qi. The surname Zhao is the royal surname of the Great Jin, and the Xijing Prefecture is the Qin Dynasty.
As the capital of the state, it is difficult not to think of King Xiao Qin.
Qi Xuansu didn't show anything on his face and just nodded: "It turns out to be Brother Zhao."
Qin Wubing could see that there was something wrong between the two men and two women, but as the person with the highest status among the people present, he still had to come out and smooth things over: "Everyone, please stop standing and talking, please sit down.
"
Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu exchanged glances and sat down without saying anything else.
A round table, six people, three pairs of men and women, Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu naturally sat together, Zhang Yuelu next to Qin Xiang, Qin Xiang next to Qin Wubing, Qin Wubing next to Zhao Xuanting, and finally closed with Qi Xuansu and Xie Qiuniang.
Qin Wubing naturally dominated the topic. He saved Qin Xiang last time, so it was naturally impossible for him to keep Qin Xiang in the military camp, and he would eventually have to send him back. Qin Xiang's family could not remain indifferent, so they naturally had to take good care of him.
Thank you. And the degree of gratitude is closely related to status. If an unknown person saved Qin Xiang, maybe he would just give some peace money to solve the problem. But Qin Wubing saved Qin Xiang, which is a huge favor. But this is also
It's not a bad thing. As the saying goes, when there is a favor, there will be a relationship. Over time, the two families will form a good relationship, and they can even go a step further and form an alliance on this basis.
This time Qin Wubing returned home and passed by Longmen Mansion. Qin Xiang took the initiative to host a banquet for Qin Wubing and invited two friends to accompany him, namely Xie Qiuniang and Zhao Xuanting. Unexpectedly, he happened to meet Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu.
Qin Xiang was naturally overjoyed that his two benefactors were all here.
Coupled with the legendary banished immortal Zhang Yuelu, it is even more unexpected.
But for others, it may not be a good thing.
Qin Xiang deliberately sat next to Zhang Yuelu, chattering and asking questions. Zhang Yuelu always dealt with people with evil intentions, but when it came to a relatively simple girl like Qin Xiang, he would not reject people thousands of miles away and could only deal with it helplessly.
.
Qi Xuansu didn't speak much, just observing Xie, Zhao and Zhao Xuanting. He didn't know yet, but Xie Qiuniang's skills impressed him deeply. Even if he faced Xie Qiuniang now, he didn't dare to say that he was sure of victory.
Zhao Xuanting is a bit better than Xie Qiuniang, that is, a heavenly being.
After all, Li Qingnu said that both of them are second-class members, either with noble status or high-level cultivation.
Of course, while Qi Xuansu was observing the two of them, the two of them were also observing Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu, somewhat like they were afraid of both sides.
Qin Wubing saw all this, but just pretended not to see it - he didn't want to get involved in these messy things, and both sides had a lot of background, so it was best not to offend anyone.
In fact, Qi Xuansu's mentality is also very complicated. Qiniang has long told him that the Qingping Society is not monolithic, and it is common for members to fight each other. The two sides have a vaguely hostile relationship at this time, but Qi Xuansu has scruples, fearing that because of these two
Instead, he implicated his Qingpinghui identity. After all, the other two people present, Qin Wubing and Qin Xiang, knew about Wei Wugui's existence.
At this moment, Xie Qiuniang suddenly said: "Master Zhang is well-known. Although he is young, he can be said to have been famous for many years. He is the youngest deputy hall master and has a bright future. Only Daoist Qi, few people have heard of him, but Daoist Qi can
Being ranked among the fifth-grade Taoist priests at such a young age, I think he has something special about him."
Qi Xuansu is not stupid, he heard clearly, this is to test him, this group of people target "Xuanyu", and now they deliberately ask him what is outstanding, just to confirm whether "Xuanyu" has fallen into his hands
.
Qi Xuansu was not polite and said directly: "Miss Xie is questioning me. Miss Xie might as well speak frankly. In the language of Jianghu, please draw a line from Miss Xie."
Xie Qiuniang said calmly: "The Taoist promotion system has always been strict, and the suspension of years system is no exception even for geniuses such as Li Changge and Yao Pei. If you want to be promoted exceptionally, you must have made great achievements. Taoist Master Qi can be promoted to a fifth-grade Taoist priest.
I think she has outstanding merits, how can I, a little girl with no merits, dare to question Taoist Master Qi?"
She paused for a moment and then said: "It's just that I follow the teacher to practice the way of cultivating Qi. Although the teacher has repeatedly taught me that cultivating Qi is not to compete with others, but I am still unavoidable.
People of my generation always want to compete with each other."
Qi Xuansu said: "This is a bit false. If nourishing qi is not for fighting bravely, then many of our Taoist sect's ancestors would not have died at the hands of the Confucian sect."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the table suddenly turned cold.
Zhang Yuelu coughed lightly: "That's all in the past. If it's not conducive to the unity of Confucianism and Taoism, it's better not to say it." Qi Xuansu followed suit and said, "It's my fault, so I'll punish myself."
After that, he raised his glass and drank it in one gulp.
Xie Qiuniang said calmly: "Actually, I also agree with Taoist Qi's point of view. Carrying sharp weapons will naturally arouse the murderous intention. If one cannot achieve immortality with this kind of cultivation, it will naturally be used to fight and kill. There are thousands of Taoists in the world.
, how many of them are running for immortality? Even the Immortal Immortal has a thunderous wrath. Back then, the deposed Heavenly Master Zhang Jingchen secretly plotted against Mrs. Xuansheng. Xuansheng was furious and turned the huge Yunjin Mountain upside down with one blow.
, this is actually a fight with others.”
This statement is reasonable. Except for a very small number of the proud ones, most people will not aim for immortality. It is like being an official. After ten years of hard work, there is always a person who is satisfied with only a half-dozen official positions.
Only when you become a county magistrate can you ask for a magistrate, and only after you become a magistrate can you ask for a chief envoy. No one is rushed to be a prime minister from the beginning.
Xie Qiuniang continued: "The imperial court keeps men in black not only for decoration, but also for fighting. The sword should not be a ritual weapon, but a killing weapon. Swordsmanship is a killing technique. With so many magical passages, you can't live forever, but you can kill people."
A person can live forever. It is said that a thousand words and ten thousand words can be seen under the hand. So I have to meet Taoist Qi today and want to join hands with Taoist Qi. What do you think of Taoist Qi?"
Joining hands is a competition, and it is also a ritual in the world. The original intention of joining hands is to recognize that each other has similar strength. If two people let go and fight, both will lose, so they join hands to try to compete. Further, there is an announcement.
It means that the older generation openly joins hands with the younger generation, which shows that the younger generation has achieved enough cultivation to pass on his mantle and inform his colleagues in the world. This is a ceremony to establish a successor.
Qi Xuansu and Xie Qiuniang had no relationship with each other, so it was just a simple competition. In fact, Xie Qiuniang wanted to fight swords more, but because of the reputation of Qin Wubing and Qin Xiang, she chose to join forces.
Qi Xuansu said: "In Taoist terms, I was born as a wild Taoist priest. This word is very unpleasant. It means weed, savage and savage. It means that I don't understand the rules and etiquette. What I am good at is dealing with life.
We are fighting to the death, and we don’t understand the rules of joining hands, but I want to ask for advice on how to join hands?”
Xie Qiuniang didn't say anything, she just stretched out a finger and tapped it lightly on the table.
A chopstick flew up in response.
Xie Qiuniang caught the chopstick, held one end, stretched the other end towards Qi Xuansu, and said: "Back then, Buddhism opposed Taoism, and the two families went to war in the Western Regions. Taoism called it the 'Buddhist Rebellion'. In the second year after the Buddhist Rebellion began,
Donghuang visited Sheji Academy on behalf of Xuansheng. During the banquet, Donghuang took a chopstick and asked everyone present to break it. None of the people present said anything. Instead, after the banquet, they agreed with Donghuang’s proposal of Taoism and Confucianism joining forces.
A proposal to quell the Buddhist rebellion. At that time, Donghuang said that if anyone could break this chopstick, he would immediately leave Sheji Academy and rush to the Western Regions. Today, I would like to ask Taoist Master Qi in the words of Donghuang, can you break the chopstick in my hand?
