Qi Xuansu was a little unsure of Li Qingnu's intentions for a while. After all, such an amount was a bit too big to say it was a courtesy exchange between friends, and it was hard not to think about making a mistake.
There are also things to pay attention to when giving gifts. Giving money directly is a sign of inferiority. People who are slightly concerned about the appearance will not want it. The key is to give it to them.
For example, this time, Qi Xuansu didn't have many hobbies, and playing cards was definitely one of them, so Li Qingnu gave him a collector's edition of the "Xuansheng Card", which was both popular and valuable.
At this moment, Qi Xuansu felt a burst of warmth and took out a Zimu Talisman from the interlayer of his chest. It turned out to be a message from Qiniang.
Qi Xuansu rubbed his fingers, the talisman turned into a curtain of light, and Qiniang's half-length image appeared in front of him.
Qiniang wore a straw hat and sunglasses that covered half of her face. The background was a scene of blue sea and sky.
"You brat, I haven't seen you for such a long time, why don't you take the initiative to say hello? Other people's children take the initiative to greet their parents, so why don't you wait for me to greet you?" Qiniang took the initiative.
Qi Xuansu immediately counterattacked: "You still have the nerve to say that you took away all my Taiping money and left me only one hundred Taiping money. I almost couldn't even afford the boat ticket back to Yujing, how could I still have money?"
Buy extra Zimu Talismans? What if I use the Zimu Talismans in my hand casually? What if I encounter an emergency? And I heard Yao Suyi say, Qiniang, you have gold and silver in your hands, you just need to casually use them.
If you open a tiny gap between your fingers and let out just a little bit, it will be enough for me to enjoy for half my life, and I will greet you every day."
Qiniang said: "Yao Suyi... you mean that little girl Yao Pei, right? The Yao family women don't tell the truth. Don't listen to that girl's nonsense. Where did I get the gold and silver from Qiniang? I really want it."
There are gold and silver mountains, so why should I earn this hard-earned money through wind and rain? You may say Qibaofang, but in fact they are just dry stocks and cannot be used as safe money. Besides, why should I take your money?
All the peace money has been taken away? Can I still steal the little peace money you have? I am saving it for you to use for marrying a wife in the future. If it is put in your hands, you will not be able to control it at all. I am sure
It’s all wasted.”
Qi Xuansu acted rogue and said, "Then I won't get married. You give me the money back."
"You said this, do you believe it yourself?" Qiniang immediately exposed Qi Xuansu's lie, "The sky has been long and the sky is short, but now I don't want to marry, I don't believe it."
Qi Xuansu was speechless and had to change the topic: "Qiniang, I have met the real person Cihang."
"I'm meeting my mother-in-law so soon. It's progressing very quickly." Qiniang responded casually.
Qi Xuansu hesitated for a moment and then said: "Master Cihang has guessed your identity."
Qiniang said: "It's not surprising. If she can't even guess this, what else is she doing to know the real person, and why is she fighting for the great leader? It's more serious to go home quickly and have her grandson."
Qi Xuansu continued: "Master Cihang said, Qiniang, what you installed for me is not an ordinary secondary heart, but a 'Mosaic Heart of Immortality'. It is said that this is a very precious thing, except for the unblocking of Huashengtang."
Except for one of the old archives of the Creation Project, only the Li family and the Yao family have survived."
As Qi Xuansu expected, Qiniang refused to admit it at all: "What she said is what she said? I also said that the one I installed for you is the original 'Eternal Life Stone', do you believe it or not?"
Qi Xuansu asked: "What is the 'Eternal Life Stone'?"
Qiniang said: "It is the ancestor of the 'Embedded Heart of Immortality Stone'. It is the elixir of immortality refined by the eleven great witches of the ancient witch sect with the whole sect. It can not only bring the dead back to life, but also make people become immortals and create creatures."
The project is actually to imitate the 'Eternal Life Stone' rather than refining it ourselves."
Qi Xuansu touched his chest: "I haven't become an immortal, so I definitely don't believe it."
Qiniang smiled and said: "It's okay if you don't believe it. In fact, there are three versions of the 'Stone of Immortality'. They are the original version refined by the Lingshan Ten Witches, the later improved version of the Enlightenment Six Witches, and the copied version of the Shamanism of later generations."
"The original version was named 'Elixir of Immortality' and was made from ancient wild beasts. It was inevitably contaminated with the resentment and evil spirit of these creatures when they died. Although it can be brought back to life, the person who is resurrected will be contaminated with the resentment and evil spirit of the wild beast.
Turn into a monster.”
"The copied version of shamanism in later generations is actually an improved version of Wu Xian. There are no medicinal materials that can replace wild beasts on Lingshan Mountain. Only the imperial capital of Kunlun has various medicinal materials for refining the elixir of immortality. Therefore, Wu Xian's failure is already
It was destined. But Wu Xian also found another way in the process of searching for success, using humans to replace wild beasts. At that time, the Emperor of Heaven was conquering all directions, and Wu Xian asked the Emperor of Heaven to let his generals collect the life force of the enemies for her. The Emperor of Heaven agreed to Wu Xian's request.
Xian's request allowed Wu Xian to continue to improve the medicine of immortality, and Wu Xian named this medicine of immortality "Eternal Life Stone", which was also the predecessor of "Eternal Life Stone" in later generations. Using such "Old Immortality Stone"
Shi', who can become an immortal, will not turn into a monster, but will become more and more extreme, irritable, and violent, as if he has become another person without even realizing it."
"At the end of the Wei Dynasty, the chief shaman of shamanism and Song Zheng jointly planned a major coup against the Golden Horde. The chief shaman spent the lives of hundreds of thousands of people and the old Khan of the Golden Horde to refine the
However, the mantis stalked the cicada and the oriole was behind. Xu Wugui and Tantaiyun teamed up to kill the chief shaman. The two fought over the ownership of the 'old longevity stone'. Clams and cranes fought, fishermen
It was a profit, and it finally gave Xuansheng an advantage."
"The truly perfect 'Eternal Life Stone' is actually the 'Elixir of Immortality' that the Six Enlightened Witches went deep into the Five Elements Cave to improve over hundreds of years. However, it is a pity that this perfect elixir of immortality was divided into six parts, and Earth Master Xu Wugui took it.
Two parts, Wu Yang took one part, Xuan Sheng took three parts, which complemented the 'Old Immortality Stone' he had obtained before, so he had the 'New Immortality Stone'. The Creation Project imitated the 'New Immortality Stone' and embedded it.
"The Heart of the Immortal Stone", Huashengtang also imitated the so-called secondary heart based on the "Heart of the Embedded Immortal Stone". It can be said that each generation is inferior to the last."
After Qi Xuansu heard this, he was greatly shocked, but then more questions emerged: "Qiniang, this is not like you. According to your character, shouldn't you pretend to be stupid and hide it? What happened this time?
Have you changed your gender?”
Qiniang pretended to be angry and said: "Who do you think I am? You have to know that a son should be filial and a mother should be kind. Only in this way can we be harmonious. By the way, you have received what Qingnu sent you.
?"
Qi Xuansu was startled: "That set of 'Xuansheng Cards'?"
"I asked Qingnu to give it to you as compensation for you." Qiniang put on a loving motherly look on her face.
Qi Xuansu didn't quite agree: "Things are good, but are you showing generosity to others? If you want to compensate me, you should spend your own money."
Qiniang immediately stopped pretending: "How come there is so much nonsense? In one sentence, do you want it?"
"Yes, of course." Qi Xuansu still hesitated, "Isn't this considered accepting bribes?"
Qiniang said nonchalantly: "If you accept money but don't do anything, it doesn't count as accepting a bribe."
"Is this okay?" Qi Xuansu was doubtful.
Qiniang is tireless in destroying people: "If you feel it's not safe, you can just turn your back and deny me."
Qi Xuansu finally came to his senses: "Qiniang, you lied to me."
Qiniang said: "According to what Master Cihang said, what I installed for you is an 'embedded heart of immortality stone'. How much money will it cost? What kind of crime is this? If you are to be convicted, the Demon Suppressing Table is enough
You have died eight times, killed and saved again, and survived and killed again. So, since it is a gift from me, feel free to accept it.
.”
Qi Xuansu thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. In such a large Taoist sect, from top to bottom, we really had to check carefully to see how many people were innocent. If they were all killed, they would definitely be unjust, but if they killed every other person, there would definitely be someone who slipped through the net.
Qi Xuansu suddenly remembered a poem: Yuan Sheng was afraid of the day of rumors, but the great king was humble and did not usurp the throne. Xiangshi died at the beginning, who knows the truth in his life? Although it is not very appropriate to use it here, the truth is the same, as long as
Without being caught, who is still a green lotus that emerges from the mud and remains unstained?
Qiniang finally saw her and said: "By the way, you are now considered a local snake in the Imperial Capital. After a while, I will send someone to the Imperial Capital to contact you. You, as well as Qing Nu, are all prepared. It's best to let them know in advance.
.Because my mother loves you so much, takes the initiative to care for you, and gives you things, you, as a son, should fulfill your filial piety and share your worries for your mother."
Then Qiniang ended the conversation without waiting for Qi Xuansu to raise objections.
Qi Xuansu was stunned for a moment, then sighed helplessly.
He knew that Qiniang's things were not so easy to get, and Qiniang was the one who would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. Of course, this was not Qiniang bribing him, but it was similar to coaxing a child to work by giving him a piece of candy first, but she refused to give it.
, Qi Xuansu couldn’t say anything.
Then he also came back to his senses. Qiniang said a lot, but these had nothing to do with what Qi Xuansu wanted to know. They were just some Taoist secrets. As he climbed up the Taoist hierarchy, he would know it sooner or later, and Qi Xuansu would know it sooner or later.
The things she wanted to know, such as Qiniang's intentions, etc., Qiniang didn't say a word and just got passed by.
Qi Xuansu sighed, sat back on the chair, leaned on the back of the chair, looked up at the lamp, feeling a little headache.
When he first arrived at the Imperial Capital, his chair was still warm. Qiniang and Master Donghua had already asked him to make preparations in advance. This was not counting the warning from Master Cihang.
It's really sad to kill people.
However, this also indirectly illustrates one thing. Something big is indeed going to happen in the Imperial Capital. All forces have begun to converge on the Imperial Capital, including not only Quanzhen, Zhengyi, and Taiping, but also various secret association forces, and even
The three secret societies of Lingshan Witch Sect, Zhiming Sect, and Ziguang Society will also take advantage of the troubled waters.
After Qi Xuansu sat for a while, he decided to take action as soon as possible.
Whether Qiniang's explanation or Donghua's explanation, there is a prerequisite - he must get familiar with the situation in the Imperial Capital as soon as possible and prepare for the future.
From this point of view, it seems that he is still in the stage of laying out his moves and has not yet reached the big dragon fight. However, he does not have enough time and cannot tolerate any slacking off.
