Chapter 207 Going to the Imperial Capital (Part 1)
When Qi Xuansu left the lobby of Tiangangtang headquarters, he only felt that one person was as big as two people.
Zhang Yuelu walked with him on the streets of Xuandu. It happened that Zhang Yuelu lived in Xuandu. Unknowingly, he walked to Zhang Yuelu's residence.
Seriously speaking, this is the first time Qi Xuansu has visited Zhang Yuelu's residence.
It is said that every inch of land in Yujing is valuable, but Xuandu goes even further. Except for the thirty-six Master Shenzhi and the great Masters Pingzhang, those who can live here are those who have been trained by the Taoist sect and have a bright future. To sum up,
It probably refers to those who have been practicing Zhenzhi in the past, those who are currently practicing Zhenzhi, and those who may become Zhenzhi in the future. It has the meaning of Buddha in the past, Buddha in the present, and Buddha in the future.
There is no doubt that Zhang Yuelu belongs to the last category and may become a Shenzhi Zhenren in the future. But that is a matter of the future after all, and she still cannot compare with Shenzhi Zhenren. Therefore, her residence is not big, and it is far from being comparable to Shenzhi Zhenren.
Compared with people's mansions, just being able to live in Xuandu is a privilege. Here it is not that every inch of land is valuable, but that every inch of land is worth hundreds of dollars.
Because in addition to some residences, the interior of Xuandu is also home to the lobby of Jiutang headquarters and the various departments under its jurisdiction, so there are not many pedestrians coming and going.
Seeing the two walking side by side, everyone looked sideways.
It is rare to see such a young third-grade Youyi Taoist priest and such a young fourth-grade wine-offering Taoist priest. In a sense, they are barely a good match. You must know that Li Changge is only a fourth-grade wine-offering Taoist priest. Not everyone can
Recognize Zhang Yuelu, but Zhang Yuelu's identity is not difficult to guess. He is the only third-grade Youyi Taoist priest who is so young and a woman. As for Qi Xuansu, because he was promoted too quickly and in too short a time, many people did not recognize him, let alone listen to him.
I mentioned Qi Xuansu's name and even thought of him as Li Changge.
Qi Xuansu suddenly remembered something, took out his "Chu Zhen Sutra" and waved it in front of Zhang Yuelu.
"What to do?" Zhang Yuelu asked doubtfully, "I know you have been sentenced to death."
Qi Xuansu said helplessly: "That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about, who is your scripture binding to?"
Zhang Yuelu suddenly said: "So this is what you are talking about. I am bound to my cousin."
"The one who gave you the house?" Qi Xuansu asked.
Zhang Yuelu nodded: "But I just changed to the 'Zhongji Sutra' of the third-grade Youyi Taoist priest, and now it is not bound to anyone else."
Qi Xuansu smiled: "It saves trouble."
Zhang Yuelu took out his "Zhongji Sutra Urn", and there was a docking port on the horizontal axis of the two sutra urns. It was just a pair, and they were bound. From then on, the two people could use the sutra urn to communicate face to face. The key is
It doesn't cost half a peace.
Along the way, Qi Xuansu found that many mansions had their doors closed and seemed uninhabited. However, this was also reasonable. Many Shenzhi masters were guarding one side and held important positions as master masters or master masters outside.
He will only stay here when he returns to Jinque to discuss matters.
Because Xuandu is not as planned as a chessboard like Yujing, the various buildings are scattered and scattered, which is another kind of beauty. Zhang Yuelu's residence is sandwiched between the two mansions of Zhenzhi, and the east neighbor is Cihang.
The residence of Zhen Zhi is adjacent to the west of it is the residence of Ning Ling Pavilion, the leader of the ancestral hall. At first glance, it seems that after the two residences of Zhen Zhi were built in accordance with the regulations, I found that there was still a small piece of extra land, so I stopped by.
A small house was built. It was originally empty, but was later given to Zhang Yuelu by the earth master with a wave of his hand.
Qi Xuansu roughly understood why Zhang Yuelu could get along with Master Cihang like mother and daughter every day. Her study room happened to be next to the garden of Master Cihang's house. If you opened any door, you would be a family and they wouldn't have to go through the front door. If one day
, Master Cihang was promoted to the Zi Mansion, and Zhang Yuelu inherited Master Cihang's current residence, saving even moving. As for now, it is more convenient, even the places where the two of them are on duty are right next to each other.
However, there are also disadvantages to living in this place, that is, it is easy to have no friends. There are many young people in Daomen, but there are very few who are qualified to live in Xuandu. Li Changge has this qualification, but Li Changge will not be in the second half of this year
She just moved here. She has been living in Zhenjing Courtyard before, and the relationship between the Zhang and Li families is indescribable. Yao Pei is also qualified, but she has not moved here yet, and still lives in Wanshou Chongyang Palace. No wonder Zhang Yuelu occasionally feels that
Boring, just fine
Take a walk to Tiangang Hall, or take a walk outside in Taiqing City.
Zhang Yuelu pushed the door open and went home. Qi Xuansu thought to himself that he had seen both his mother-in-law, the Zhang family, and various relatives, so he did not regard himself as an outsider. There was no need for Zhang Yuelu to be modest and followed him in.
Already.
An old woman came out.
Zhang Yuelu took the initiative to introduce: "This is the Aunt He I mentioned before." ??
Qi Xuansu simply saluted. He was not arrogant or rude just because he was a Taoist Priest of the Fourth Grade Liquor. However, he was not overly polite, and he did not say anything like "Thank you for taking care of Qingxiao all these years." In Qi Xuansu's opinion,
, this is a bit fake.
On the contrary, Aunt He returned the gift somewhat cautiously.
She had known about Qi Xuansu's existence for a long time. After meeting her today, she had to admit that the two of them were quite a match when they stood together. At least Qi Xuansu was not completely overwhelmed by Zhang Yuelu's brilliance.
.
But Aunt He probably wouldn't have thought that a year ago, when Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu stood together, the number would be ninety-one, or even ten-zero.
Zhang Yuelu said softly: "Aunt He, you don't have to worry about us. Even if you are busy with your work, there is no need for tea or anything. He is not thirsty."
Qi Xuansu smiled helplessly.
This is really not for outsiders.
Aunt He responded and turned around to leave.
Zhang Yuelu led Qi Xuansu to her study.
Zhang Yuelu's study room is not big, and the four walls are different. On one side is a bookshelf, stacked with books, and on the other side is a multi-treasure cylindrical cabinet, which displays a gilt copper chiming clock, a telescope, a handgun, a model of an iron ship and other items. The sunny side is
There are doors and windows on the wall. Opposite the door, there is a yellow sandalwood-topped horizontal desk against the wall, with a sword stand and a flying sword placed horizontally. In addition to the brush washer, pen holder, inkstone and other items from the study, there are also
There is a box of books. It is not a secret book of exercises, but a set of Taoist codes.
Qi Xuansu couldn't help but sigh. It's really unsatisfactory that people like Zhang Yuelu and Yao Pei could easily become heavenly beings even if they were distracted and multitasking. If he didn't have "Xuanyu", he might never be able to catch up with Zhang Yuelu in his life.

Zhang Yuelu sat behind the desk, while Qi Xuansu sat opposite Zhang Yuelu, with a table between them.
There was a moment of silence between the two.
Qi Xuansu originally thought that Zhang Yuelu was going to ask about Qiniang, but he didn't expect that Zhang Yuelu asked a question that had nothing to do with Qiniang after being silent: "Tianyuan, apart from me, have you ever met any other woman you like?"
Qi Xuansu was startled for a moment, and then said seriously: "I am not a casual man. Many women really amaze me, but that doesn't mean I have to like them, let alone do something for them."
Zhang Yuelu asked again: "Amazing, who are they?"
Qi Xuansu did not feel guilty: "For example, Li Qingnu, the courtesan, is really good-looking. If I said against my will that I have no impression of her, I would be lying to you."
"This is the truth." Zhang Yuelu also agreed.
Qi Xuansu thought for a while: "There is also Yao Pei, my niece. She is definitely not as good looking as Li Qingnu, but she is very skillful and has high cultivation. She may be your strong enemy in the future."
Zhang Yuelu almost couldn't help laughing when she heard the title "cousin niece".
She could imagine Yao Pei's reaction when he heard this title.
However, Zhang Yuelu quickly realized that most of the major Taoist families were related to each other, and even the Zhang and Li families, who were most hostile to each other, were no exception.
She will become a contemporary of Donghua Zhenren, and when it comes to her, Qi Xuansu will probably become an uncle, a person of the uncle generation.
So Zhang Yuelu suppressed his laughter and said seriously: "We still deal with each other according to the seniority of the Taoist sect. We are both eighth generation disciples, no one is higher than the other."
Qi Xuansu hadn't thought of this for the time being. He just regarded Zhang Yuelu as a serious person and responded: "This is natural. I'm just talking in private. I still have to call you Taoist Fellow Yao in front of others."
Zhang Yuelu changed the subject: "Did Xu Kou tell you about the matters regarding the Imperial Palace?"
Qi Xuansu nodded: "I heard, I plan to see Master Donghua tomorrow."
