A bright moon hung high in the sky, illuminating the sky and the earth in a silvery white color.
A man and a woman look at each other under the moon.
There was no affection, only a kind of silent embarrassment.
Yao Pei looked at Qi Xuansu steadily, as if he wanted to find evidence of nonsense from Qi Xuansu's face. After Yao Pei was sure that Qi Xuansu was not joking, his expression changed slightly.
She originally thought Qi Xuansu would be Qiniang's subordinate, but she didn't expect to get such an answer.
But then I thought about it, Qiniang was of higher rank, but she was not that old in age. She was about the same age as her father, so it made sense to accept an adopted son who was similar to her age.
Prime Minister Yao Pei was silent for a while and then slowly said: "So that's it." .??.
Qi Xuansu coughed lightly: "I didn't want to say it."
Yao Pei added: "Although we have this important relationship, as Taoist disciples, we should not get too close to each other, lest we fall into the eyes of interested people, and it is not appropriate to make Qiniang's identity public."
Qi Xuansu nodded and said, "That's exactly what it should be."
Yao Pei breathed a sigh of relief quietly, and Tu Qiongdiao said: "Then I will still call you Fellow Daoist Qi, and you will still call me Fellow Daoist Yao."
Only then did Qi Xuansu understand Yao Pei's intention. It seemed that Yao Pei's "Tai Shang Wang Qing Jing" had not completely lost its charm, so he did not want to call Qi Xuansu "uncle". The deeper reason was probably the Yao family behind her.
, after all, there must be a reason why Qiniang left the Yao family. There may be some grudges between the two, and judging from Yao Pei's words, on this matter, the attitudes and opinions within the Yao family are not unified.
The earth master who had made it clear did not express his position clearly.
Seeing that Qi Xuansu had no objection, Yao Pei returned to his Gujing Wubo state and asked: "How is the seventh aunt, grandma, recently?"
"Okay, it couldn't be better." Qi Xuansu immediately remembered the last time he met Qiniang, "After stepping down as the rotating owner of Qibao Square, I will do some small business."
"Small business?" Yao Pei asked, "How small?"
Qi Xuansu estimated: "One transaction is worth a few thousand Taiping money, but it is a mountain of land. How can she earn hundreds of thousands of Taiping money in a year? But she is not short of money and her expenses are small, so she just makes money as a
Fun.”
Then Qi Xuansu thought about how all his savings had been robbed by Qiniang, and he couldn't help but sigh: "The way of heaven is to make up for the loss and make up for the loss. The way of man is to make up for the loss and make up for the loss."
After Yao Pei heard this, he was silent for a long time.
Even if the Yao family is not as wealthy as the Li family, they will not take hundreds of thousands of Taiping money too seriously. As a core member of the Yao family, Yao Pei will never be like Qi Xuansu
If you worry about peace of mind like this, you will naturally not be able to appreciate the joy of making money without spending any money.
Qi Xuansu turned to the sleeping Chen Longtu and asked, "Yao Daoyou, who is this person from?"
Yao Pei answered the question: "Although fellow Taoist Qingxiao is not easy to get along with, due to his identity, there are many people who admire him. As for how to attract the attention of fellow Taoist Qingxiao, everyone has their own methods, such as Li Tianzhen's use of force to suppress others.
There are some, and there are also those who take a different path like Chen Longtu. Fellow Taoist Qi may want to say, why no one comes to provoke me. The reason is very simple. I rarely leave home. In terms of reputation, I am far inferior to fellow Taoist Qingxiao.
"Many people don't even know whether I am a boy or a girl, so how can anyone admire me?"
Qi Xuansu was silent for a while and asked a question he had wanted to ask for a long time: "Can Taoist fellow Yao read minds?"
"I can't read minds, I can just make simple calculations and guess what fellow Taoist Qi is thinking." Yao Pei answered truthfully, "Everyone has many tiny expressions, which usually pass by in a flash and are difficult to detect, but I can pass it."
Tiansuan' is used to capture such small expressions. For example, when Taoist Qi intends to lie, he will look into my eyes to make me believe it or to observe whether I believe it. Another example is that the expression of surprise lasts more than two seconds, which is the Western expression.
For one second, it might be feigned surprise."
Qi Xuansu was really surprised this time.
Yao Pei continued: "I use these small expressions to judge the emotional changes of fellow Taoist Qi, and then combine this emotional change with the content of our conversation to deduce what fellow Taoist Qi is thinking."
Qi Xuansu suddenly felt that the "Heavenly Sword" was indeed much better than the "Magic Sword". No wonder the "Heavenly Sword" was the right way of Xuanmen, but the "Heavenly Sword" needed to be supplemented by the "Tai Shang Wangqing Sutra" to exert its full power.
trouble.
Yao Pei once again deduced Qi Xuansu's thoughts, and comforted him in a tone without emotion: "A ruler is short, an inch is long. After practicing the 'Demon Sword' to a certain level, your intuition is amazing, and you can always detect danger in advance, so you can
Just like the cicada wakes up before the golden wind moves."
Qi Xuansu rubbed his face with both hands, as if he wanted to erase all the tiny expressions.
"Fellow Daoist Qi can remain calm and appear expressionless, but that's just controlling big expressions. Small expressions are not included. This is a subconscious behavior that can only be controlled after continuous training." Yao Pei directly helped Qi Xuansu.
Answering the puzzle, "But after reaching the ever-changing realm of martial arts, there will be no such trouble. Because of this realm, martial arts can control every inch of flesh and blood, let alone control the watch."
Qing, even changing body shape and appearance is not difficult, hence the name Ever-Changing."
Qi Xuansu was embarrassed when Yao Pei repeatedly guessed what he was thinking, and quickly returned to the original topic: "So, Chen Longtu is here for Qingxiao."
Yao Pei said: "Actually, the root cause still lies with fellow Taoist Qi."
"Why is it on my body? How can I say this?" Qi Xuansu asked in surprise.
Yao Pei hit the nail on the head and said: "Fellow Daoist Qi, just imagine if it were Li Changge and Li Tianzhen were in your position, would Chen Longtu still dare to act like this?"
Qi Xuansu was silent for a moment.
Yao Pei said: "As far as I know, after Taoist friend Qingxiao drove Li Tianzhen out of Yujing, he shocked many Xiaoxiao. Such things are rare. After all, no one thinks that they can compete with Li Tianzhen. Since
Li Tianzhen returned home in vain, so they have no hope, so it is better to stay away from them." ??
"But you are different. You know that you can beat Chen Longtu, but Chen Longtu doesn't know. After all, your time of fame is too short and your foundation is too shallow. Many people don't know how powerful you are. In their eyes, even you
Such a nobody can get the favor of fellow Taoist Qingxiao. It can be seen that fellow Taoist Qingxiao is not an unkind iceberg. The reason why Li Tianzhen was rejected is probably because of the dispute between Zhang and Li. They naturally feel that they can replace you.
.”
"It can be foreseen that this is not the last time. Many people will come to trouble you one after another. Some people come for fellow Taoist Qingxiao, and some people want to take the opportunity to show their kindness to Li Tianzhen. After all, Li Tianzhen is in Qingxiao.
Taoist friend has lost face here. There are advantages and disadvantages to this matter. I don’t need to elaborate on the disadvantages. The advantage is that after you deal with these people one by one, your reputation will spread, and everyone in the Taoist sect will probably know that you have
Qi Xuansu is such a number one person."
After Qi Xuansu listened, he said with emotion: "Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading."
At the same time, he had to lament how well-informed the Yao family was. Yao Pei said that she rarely went out, but there was almost nothing she didn't know about. This was obviously inseparable from the Yao family behind her.
This is also where Zhang Yuelu suffers the most. Both Li Changge and Yao Pei can get the maximum support from their families. Zhang Yuelu, because he was born in a small sect, has almost no real support from his family. Otherwise, Tantai Qiong would not consider marrying. In the apprenticeship
On the other hand, Zhang Yuelu was not designated as the descendant of Cihang Master from the beginning. This can be seen from the fact that she has never been to Putuo Island.
To put it mildly, would the Li family and the Yao family place their core children under each other's noses? Are they willing to let Li Changge and Yao Pei go to Jiang
Did Nan put himself in danger? But Zhang Yuelu did not receive such treatment. He first went to Beichen Hall, which was in charge of Taiping Dao, and then was sent to Jiangnan Daofu to investigate the case, which was almost like committing suicide. If it were not for the last moment, Cihang would really
Because he couldn't bear to see this disciple die an untimely death, he took the initiative to help. Zhang Yuelu would have died in Jiangnan, and he would not be here today.
However, luck and misfortune depended on each other. Zhang Yuelu's performance in the Jiangnan major case was appreciated by the Earth Master, and he was promoted exceptionally. Only then was he transferred to the Tiangang Hall as the deputy hall master. Finally, he no longer had to worry about being framed by his superiors.
It would be a lie to say that Zhang Yuelu didn't care about this, otherwise she wouldn't consider joining the Quanzhen Tao. It's not just as simple as forcing a marriage. On one side is the Earth Master who has the kindness to meet her, and on the other is the family who doesn't care about her.
, is it difficult to choose? Probably because he saw Zhang Yuelu's mentality, Master Cihang used this reason to designate Zhang Yuelu as his successor, and kept Zhang Yuelu as a master and apprentice.
Having said that, this is not because of the Heavenly Master alone. The dignified Heavenly Master is not so narrow-minded. It’s just that every family has sutras that are difficult to recite. Such a big family is all focused on the position of the Heavenly Master. If he cares too much about Zhang Yuelu
, it is inevitable that many people will feel that Tianshi intends to designate Zhang Yuelu as his heir. They will not be convinced that Tianshi's position will fall into the hands of a branch of the Xiaozong. They are afraid that their own family will start to hinder Zhang Yuelu, leading to infighting within the family.
In fact, Zhang Yuelu was assigned to Beichen Hall, which is already worth pondering.
With the authority of the Heavenly Master, there is nothing that cannot be suppressed. However, people have feelings, and they are all descendants of their own family. It is difficult to be cruel. Moreover, the Heavenly Master can suppress people for a while, but not for a lifetime. When he is alive,
It was okay, but what happened after he passed away? Therefore, the attitude of the Heavenly Master was inevitably vague. He would not suppress Zhang Yuelu, nor would he take special care of him. He would not object to the Earth Master's transgressions, and would rather let nature take its course.
If Zhang Yuelu falls silent like this, the Heavenly Master can probably only sigh. But if Zhang Yuelu succeeds in relying on his own ability, as he does now, with his literary ability defeating Confucianism in discussing Taoism, his martial ability in destroying demons in Jinling, and his fame in Taoist sects, then
He can just take advantage of the situation, and the young and old of the Zhang family won't be able to say anything at that time. Who will let you down?
As for why the Li family and the Yao family have no such concerns, it is not that the methods of the Earth Master and the National Master are more sophisticated, but that Li Changge and Yao Pei have already established their status. They are originally from a large family, and Li Changge's seniority is even more terrifying.
Qi Xuansu came to Chen Longtu and kicked him rudely: "What should he do?"
Chen Longtu didn't react at all.
Yao Pei said calmly: "Let him sleep. If he doesn't sleep for twelve hours, he won't wake up."
