After the enshrinement was over, Qi Xuansu had to pack his luggage and prepare to leave the palace. Fortunately, he had Xumi objects, so it was not difficult.
Before that, he also made a special trip to visit Sun Hewu, Ning Lingyun, Ning Yuqing and other old acquaintances to say goodbye.
Ning Yuqing felt a little regretful, but not regretful. If she wanted to keep such talents in Quanzhen Tao, it might not have to be her, but Yao Pei was not impossible either.
No wonder Ning Yuqing thinks too much about this. In the past three months, anyone can see that Yao Pei, who is usually polite to others, treats Qi Xuansu very unusually. The two of them can often be seen in the upper palace together.
Between each garden, even meritorious deeds were done by two people together, so many rumors spread.
Many people are surprised that Qi Xuansu is indeed a person. In terms of talent, he can be called a "young handsome man", but he is not as talented and beautiful as Li Changge, let alone the Sixth Generation Grand Master, Donghuang and others.
In terms of appearance, he is indeed not bad, but he is not as good as a handsome young man. How can he be able to hook up with Zhang Yuelu and Yao Pei, two of the most outstanding women of the younger generation, at the same time?
These two women are not ordinary people. They are not the kind of little girls who can be coaxed with just a few words. Zhang Yuelu needs no further explanation. Many people think that she is an iron lady, tough and domineering, and difficult to get along with. Yao Pei is not a kind person either.
However, before the second major Jiangnan case, whether in terms of reputation or other things, he was slightly ahead of Zhang Yuelu, second only to Li Changge. This incident in the Wanxiang Taoist Palace also showed that Yao Pei was a worthy scholar despite his great reputation.
For many big shots who aspire to reach the top, the so-called love and love are just embellishments. Some are the best, and if they are not, it will not affect anything. These two women have shown their lofty ambitions early on, and they don't look like it at all.
Crazy children.
Just because they can't figure it out, many people are curious and even admire it.
As for envy and jealousy, the former is okay, but the latter is out of the question. Taoism is a monogamous system, and a man can only be a Taoist couple with one woman, even if he is a high-ranking master. Two
Woman, who should you marry? Even if it is the imperial court's system of monogamy and multiple concubines, who will be the wife? Who will be the concubine? But it is a dilemma. Isn't a fight between two women earth-shattering? It's a real fire, and I'm afraid Li Changge can't control it when he comes.
If you don't stop, you will be burned.
However, Qi Xuansu himself knew that these rumors were nonsense.
The reason why he hangs out with Yao Pei is not only Qiniang's reason, but also because the two are accomplices and purely related to interests. The only one he really likes is Zhang Yuelu, because in a sense, Yao Pei is a bit similar to him.
In other words, Yao Pei has a little bit of Qiniang in him. This may be the tradition of the old Yao family. Furthermore, even Qi Xuansu understands that it is best for husband and wife to complement each other. It would be boring if they are too similar. Qi Xuansu has no attachment to his mother.
Having a Qiniang is enough for him to endure the plot of the kiss. If the person next to him is also a Qiniang, he can't even think about it. What kind of life is that for people?
But no matter what, they are classmates and can barely be considered colleagues, so Qi Xuansu still wants to say goodbye to Yao Pei. To put it more utilitarian, this is a connection in the future. He wants to make a difference in the Taoist sect.
You should also learn to build your own network of relationships.
When Qi Xuansu arrived at Yao Pei's residence, he found that the courtyard door was open without any restrictions. Yao Pei had packed his luggage and was standing in a daze beside the small pond in the courtyard.
Qi Xuansu stretched out his hand and knocked lightly on the open door. Yao Pei turned around, looked at Qi Xuansu and said straight to the point: "Are you here to say goodbye?"
Qi Xuansu nodded: "I'm going back to Yujing."
Yao Pei said "Yeah": "I will go to Wanshou Chongyang Palace first, and will not go to Yujing until the end of the year."
Qi Xuansu said: "At the end of the year, I will probably no longer be in Yujing. I heard that the superiors will second me to the Imperial Palace."
Yao Pei was not surprised. He raised the "Chu Zhen Sutra" in his hand and asked: "I don't have many friends. Do you want to leave a contact information?"
Qi Xuansu hesitated for a moment, shook his head and refused: "Sorry, my 'Chu Zhen Jing Lu' has other uses. Let's use the Zimu Talisman."
There was no trace of disappointment or embarrassment on Yao Pei's face, only an almost lifeless calm: "Okay."
After saying that, she took out a child and mother talisman from the Xumi object, separated it, gave Qi Xuansu a child talisman, and she left a mother talisman.
Qi Xuansu also took out a child and mother talisman, left a mother talisman and gave the child talisman to Yao Pei.
This is the normal exchange process.
Yao Pei put away the Zimu Talisman and suddenly asked: "The so-called forgetfulness, then what is 'love'?"
Qi Xuansu was startled and couldn't answer for a moment.
Yao Pei Gu said to himself: "There are two kinds of love."
"One is to have your own world, to be independent and autonomous. No matter how deep the feelings are, you are still you and I am me. They are clearly distinct. Many strong people are like this."
"There is another kind of thing that means hugging together for warmth. Whether it is friends, family, or Taoist couples, people cannot be separated. When the love is deep, the other person is each other's world, and they lose themselves, just for each other.
You can do anything, even risk your life, and many weak people are like this."
""Wo Nong Ci" has a saying: 'You and I are very affectionate. There are many feelings, and they are as hot as fire. Take a piece of clay, twist it to make you, and shape me. Break the two of us together, mix it with water, and then
I pinch you and mold me into a new one. I have you in the clay, and you have me in the clay. I will live in the same quilt and die in the same coffin with you. This is the feeling that the world longs for."
"I really want to know, are you and fellow Taoist Qingxiao the former? Or the latter?"
Qi Xuansu thought that Yao Pei would say such words, and for a moment he couldn't answer.
Yao Pei said lightly: "Fellow Taoist Qingxiao is a person with a strong heart. She owns her own world and is unwilling to become anyone's vassal, nor to change easily. Indeed, it can be seen from Yue Liuli's incident that Qingxiao
Fellow Taoist has indeed made certain changes and compromises for you, but these are only very subtle changes and are far from shaking the foundation of the entire world, which shows that she is still sticking to her own world."
"What about you? Do you have your own world? Do you want to become her vassal? Lose yourself? Or do you think you can break the two of you together, mix it with water, squeeze you again, and mold her again, and truly
So that you can have her in the mud, and she can have you in the mud?"
Qi Xuansu could not answer.
Just as Zhang Yuelu deliberately deceives himself and others, Qi Xuansu has also been avoiding thinking in this regard.
Will he become Zhang Yuelu's vassal?
Regard Zhang Yuelu's ideal as your own ideal, regard Zhang Yuelu's pursuit as your own pursuit. Completely lose yourself.
What is he afraid of?
Why are you afraid that Zhang Yuelu will know his identity? But you are not afraid that Yao Pei will know his identity?
To put it bluntly, he was already inseparable from Yao Pei Jingwei, and it didn’t matter whether he was afraid or not. But he didn’t want to be inseparable from Zhang Yuelu, but he didn’t have the confidence to change Zhang Yuelu’s world, and he didn’t have the confidence to let the two of them say that you are in the mud, and I am in the mud.
.
His own family knew about his own affairs, but Qi Xuansu couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't think about it and pretended it didn't exist.
At this point, Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu are surprisingly similar.
I just didn't expect that Yao Pei would see through it at a glance and tell the truth. But if I think about it carefully, it makes sense. I don't know what love is, so why talk about forgetting love.
Yao Pei Tuqiong saw this and said in his heart: "Cousin, for the sake of the Yao family, if you are kicked by fellow Taoist Qingxiao one day, come to me and I will introduce you to a good match.
Taoist friend Qingxiao is like a stone, it is easy to break it, but it takes a lot of effort to carve it, but we ladies from Quanzhen Taoist families are like mud, they can be as round as they want and as flat as they want, no matter how much they are rubbed."
Qi Xuansu's face darkened: "You should keep such a famous lady for yourself."
Yao Pei was noncommittal and asked instead: "Fellow Daoist Qi, is there anything else you can do?"
Qi Xuansu said: "No more."
Yao Pei turned around, ignored Qi Xuansu, and continued to stare at the pool in a daze.
In fact, Yao Pei was not in a daze, but was running "heavenly calculations", but she looked like a daze. Yao Pei was in this state when Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu met her for the first time.
A person who practices the "Tai Shang Forgetting Love Sutra" is like this. In many cases, he is like a spy. In previous fierce battles or facing other special situations, he could still feel Yao Pei's emotional fluctuations to some extent, but at this time, he didn't feel it at all.
Any mood swings are like a deep sleep compared to a short period of wakefulness.
Qi Xuansu lost interest in talking and turned to leave.
