Entering this room, you can see how high it is. Looking up, you can't actually see the dome. Below are layers of clouds, and the bottom is also invisible. In the middle of the palace is a seven-story high platform, with the height of each floor
They are no different from ordinary steps. The diameter of the base is about seven feet, and each level decreases in size. The highest level is only a foot in size. There are seventeen futons surrounding the three sides of the high platform, with different heights. In addition, there is a futon on the top of the high platform.
It corresponds to the number of the eighteenth floor. Behind the high platform is a huge statue of Taishang Daozu.
Qi Xuansu felt a little familiar.
Then he remembered that the layout of this place was very similar to that of Daomen's general auditorium, and the layout of Daomen's auditorium was modeled after Jinque.
Qiniang whispered: "Listen carefully."
Qi Xuansu was startled for a moment, and then heard whispers from around him.
Unlike the whispers he heard in strange dreams, these whispers were not noisy, but very calm. They were speaking in an orderly manner, as if they were debating or discussing matters.
Yes, it is a discussion.
Immediately afterwards, Qi Xuansu saw illusory figures appearing out of thin air on the futon, sitting cross-legged.
These people are both male and female, and their faces cannot be seen clearly. .??.??
Qi Xuansu looked at the seven-story high platform again. If it was in Jinque, then this position would belong to the Grand Master, but Jinque did not have a seven-story high platform. At this time, many small light spots appeared on the seven-story high platform, and then connected the dots to form a line.
, these lines gradually outline a figure.
No matter how he looked, Qi Xuansu couldn't see clearly the appearance of this figure. He couldn't help but look at Qiniang and asked, "Who are these people?"
Qiniang replied: "The person sitting on the main seat is named Li. No one has called him by his first name for many years. I don't want to break this rule. Everyone calls him 'Xuan Sheng'."
Qi Xuansu was suddenly startled.
Although he had some vague guesses, he was still a little shocked when Qiniang confirmed it himself.
Qiniang continued: "But at that time, he could not be called 'Xuansheng'. Most people in the world called him 'Mr. Qingping'."
Qi Xuansu couldn't help being shocked: "The Qingping Association was established by Xuansheng?"
Qiniang did not answer, but continued to introduce other figures.
"'Qing Ping Tiao' Zhou Shuning."
"'Linjiang Immortal' Zhang Haishi."
"'Sword is near' Li Feiyan."
"'Golden Mistaken Knife' Qin Su."
"'Jade Butterfly' Han Yue."
"Master Yuying of 'Shaking Tingqiu'."
"'Drunk Taiping' Ning Yi."
"'Ru Meng Ling' Shi Wuyue."
>
"'The Green Jade Case' Li Rushi."
"'Huanxisha' Palace Official."
"'Buddha's Colorful Clothes' Su Yunmei."
"'Businessman' Lu Shiying."
“‘The Hairpin-headed Phoenix’ Bai Meiniang.”
"'Nvguanzi' Lan Xuanshuang."
"'The Way Comes Back' Yan Feiqing."
"'Ding Fengbo' Zhang Luanshan."
"'Poppy' Shangguan Wan."
"'Mountain Ghost Ballad', Yu Qingning."
These names are extremely familiar to Qi Xuansu.
Because these people are all the founders of the Taoist resurgence, such as "Ding Fengbo" Zhang Luanshan and "Daochenggui" Yan Feiqing, they are brothers, and they have served as the deputy head master of Zhengyi. Su Yunmei, "Buddha Nishang", is Cihang
The founder of the same lineage. "Poppy Beauty" Shangguan Wan is the first deputy head master of Quanzhen Taoism. "Drunk Taiping" Ning Yi is the first master master of Wanxiang Taoist Palace.
Then there are "Rumengling" Shi Wuyue, "Qingyu Case" Li Rushi, "Swordsman" Li Feiyan and others. Just from their surnames, it can be seen that these people are the ancestors of some aristocratic families. For example, Shi Wu
Yue is the ancestor of Shi Bingyun, Qi Xuansu's immediate boss.
Not to mention Qin Su, the "Golden Crossed Sword", was the first deputy headmaster of Taiping Dao, the first wife of the headmaster, and the eldest daughter of Emperor Taixuan.
The rest of them were among the thirty-six great masters of the first generation, and were later enshrined in the Taoist ancestral temple under the name of great masters.
Even if you are not that familiar with the history of Taoism, as long as you have played "Xuansheng Card", you will be familiar with these names.
Neither Qi Xuansu nor Li Qingnu were speechless for a moment.
Qiniang said slowly: "This is the earliest member of the Qingping Association. At that time, the Qingping Association did not have four levels: A, B, C, and D. There were only two levels. The first-level leader was also called the convener.
There was only one person, a second-class ordinary member. At that time, the Qingping Association did not have as many people as it does now, and the above are all its members. At that time, the Qingping Association had only one purpose, to integrate the Taoist sect, end the rule of the Confucian sect, and overthrow the Wei Dynasty.
Xuansheng called it: 'Once the Qing Dynasty comes, the world will be at peace', hence the name 'Qing Ping'."
Qi Xuansu was silent for a long time.
The former Qingping Society can be called the "Jinque Conference". It was basically the core team of Xuansheng and the prototype of the future Taoist Jinque.
Qi Xuansu also noticed that
I'm afraid even the early members used their names as codenames, which is no different from now. In other words, the Qingping Society at that time was also a secret association.
Qi Xuansu couldn't help but sigh. At that time, so many famous names could only act secretly and connect in secret. It is conceivable that the Confucian sect in those days was not as declining as it is today, but like the Taoist sect today, it was truly authentic.
The world is ruled by one person. Then the rumors of burning the palace and letting the emperor fall into the water become very credible.
But Qi Xuansu soon had another question.
There is no doubt that the Qingping Society headed by Xuansheng succeeded, successfully integrated the Taoist sect and replaced the Confucian sect, and successfully overthrew the Wei Dynasty and established the Daxuan Dynasty. Then the Qingping Society should be disbanded. After all, Xuansheng and the patriarchs have already
With Jinque, we can discuss matters openly and openly in Jinque, instead of hiding in Qingpinghui to discuss secretly. The mission of Qingpinghui has ended, and there is no need to exist.
Who preserved the Qingpinghui? and passed it down? .??.??
Considering the close relationship between the Qingping Society and Quanzhen Taoism, Qi Xuansu guessed that it was a certain Quanzhen Taoist founder who was a member of the Qingping Society.
For example, Shangguan Wan, the "poppy beauty" who served as the deputy headmaster of Quanzhen Taoism, or Lan Xuanshuang, the "female crown prince".
Qiniang seemed to see Qi Xuansu's doubts and took the initiative to explain: "During the time when Xuan Sheng was alive, the Qingping Society had indeed been disbanded. The words 'Qingping Society' were just a past event in a pile of old papers, without any substance.
Meaning. It was not until Xuan Sheng passed away that someone re-established the Qing Ping Society. The main reason was that the 'inn' broke the rules first."
"'Inn'?" Qi Xuansu was a little confused.
Qiniang said: "The original name of 'Inn' is 'Taiping Inn', which has the same name as Taomen's property, Taiping Inn. It is essentially a cover. The 'Inn' was also established by Xuan Sheng, and the top brass are called 'Dongjia'."
', 'shopkeeper', 'waiter', 'cook', 'handyman', and 'accounting room', all have different responsibilities. In the beginning, all the top management of the 'inn' were held by members of the Qingpinghui, so the 'inn'
'It's actually a peripheral organization of the Qingping Society."
Qi Xuansu became more and more shocked and suddenly remembered something.
Once, when he was chatting with Zhang Yuelu, he talked about "inn" because of a storybook called "The Legend of Taiping Inn".
From this, Zhang Yuelu talked about her master Cihang. It is said that Cihang really likes to study unfounded unofficial histories. The more bizarre they are, the more interested they are. Then based on these unofficial histories, he makes bold speculations, so the Celestial Master often
To say that Cihang is a real person is to fabricate history.
According to Ci Hangzhen
Human inference is that after Xuansheng became the Grand Master, most of the senior officials in the "Taiping Inn" also became Da Zhenren, real people, so Xuansheng should have disbanded the "Taiping Inn" and dispersed most of its members to Tiangang Hall.
, in the Beichen Hall, some members were unwilling to accept this result, because when Xuansheng established the "Taiping Inn", he attracted a large number of people from the world of martial arts. These people from the political circles were used to being carefree and did not want to be restrained, so they
Leaving the Dao Sect and entering the Jianghu.
On the other side, the Wandu Sect was also disbanded by Emperor Gaozu and replaced the Qingluan Guard of the previous dynasty as the new Qingluan Guard. However, some members were unwilling to accept this result, so they left the Wandu Sect and continued to stay in the world.
.These two groups of people later merged together and established today's "Inn". It makes sense that the "Inn" has an inextricable relationship with Qingluan Guard, because the two families worked together and were originally a family.
.
Now it seems that Master Cihang's speculation is not wrong and is very close to the truth. Qi Xuansu even has a guess that the founder of Cihang's lineage is also a member of the Qingping Society. Master Cihang will not know anything about the Qingping Society. Maybe
She already knew the truth, but for some reason, she did not tell Zhang Yuelu clearly, so she pretended to be a "speculation". After all, Zhang Yuelu at that time had not yet been confirmed as a direct descendant. He was not a small master, but just one of many disciples.
.
Qiniang continued: "The clerks of the 'Taiping Inn' were divided into four levels, namely Tian, Di, Xuan, and Huang. Later, the Qingping Society was rebuilt. Without the peripheral organization of the 'Inn', they recruited their own members, so there was Jia.
, B, C, and D are divided into four members, and there is a Privy Council. In essence, the Privy Council is equivalent to the Qingping Club in the past, and is the core. The current Qingping Club is equivalent to the 'Taiping Inn' in the past, and is the periphery.
"
Qi Xuansu gradually figured out the whole story.
"Taiping Inn" and Qingping Hui are originally one body. Qingping Hui is the core of "Taiping Inn" and "Taiping Inn" is the periphery of Qingping Hui. They were both established by Xuan Sheng and later disbanded by Xuan Sheng.
Before Xuan Sheng passed away, someone had already rebuilt the "Taiping Inn". Because they were afraid of arousing Xuan Sheng's taboo, they removed the word "Taiping" and just called it "The Inn", and the word "Qing Ping Hui" was also missing from the title.
, has a close relationship with Qingluan Guard.
After Xuan Sheng passed away, someone was inspired by the "Inn" and rebuilt the "Qing Ping Hui".
But by this time, neither the "inn" nor the Qingping Hui were the original Qingping Hui and "inn".
Qi Xuansu couldn't help but ask: "They say it was Xuansheng who revitalized the Taoist sect, so who 'revived' the Qingping Society?"
Qiniang said: "He is the third generation earth master."
