Qi Xuansu coughed lightly, not knowing whether to say "praise" or "ashamed". In the end, he could only say: "Mr. Xie just calls me by my first name."
The word "Sir" is a very respected title among Confucian civil servants. It generally corresponds to the master figure, which is equivalent to the true person of the Taoist sect. "Old Sir" goes a step further and corresponds to the great master, which is equivalent to the great true person of the Taoist sect. Xie Linyuan's benchmark against the Taoist sect
It’s not too much to call Zhenzhi Zhenren in it, because there is an old father above him, so he is not called Mr. Lao. In the Qingping Association, he is Qi Xuansu’s superior, so he is undoubtedly regarded as an elder.
Generally speaking, when you call yourself by name, it means humility, and when you call yourself by words, it means arrogance. The inferior versus the superior, the inferior versus the respectful, and the elders can call the younger ones by their names. It does not count as a curse, if it is an elder other than parents.
If you want to respect a junior, you can also call him by his name.
Xie Linyuan smiled and said without exaggerating: "I'd better call you by your first name."
In fact, among the many elders Qi Xuansu met, few of them directly called him by his first name. Most of them called him by his cousin's name. After all, he was not a serious elder like his parents. As for Qiniang, when she was in a good mood, she would call him "Tian Yuan", and when she was in a bad mood, she would call him "Tian Yuan".
, he is just a boy, a little white-eyed wolf barking randomly.
Qi Xuansu hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, just call me 'Tianyuan'."
"Tianyuan, you and I have sensitive identities. It's best to return to the Imperial Capital before dawn to avoid arousing suspicion," Xie Linyuan said.
Qi Xuansu nodded in agreement, and then asked: "Will the people from the 'Inn' wait around near the Imperial Capital?"
"It may not be big. Three of the six top executives of the 'Inn' were dispatched. The 'handyman' was injured in Qiniang's hands. The 'accountant' generally does not participate in this kind of thing. Moreover, the Imperial Capital is huge, with a total of thirteen gates in the four outer cities.
, unless the 'proprietor' takes action personally, they have already been ambushed by not having enough experts in the Imperial Capital. However, we have been delayed here for a while. If the delay continues, it is hard to say whether the 'shopkeeper' and others will give up the search and return directly.
Imperial Capital.”
Qi Xuansu thought deeply: "Where are the Imperial Guards and the Qingluan Guards?"
Xie Linyuan said: "We are both imperial yamen, and the merger of the Ministry of War cannot mobilize the manpower of our Criminal Department. It is true that the Qingluan Guard has close contact with the 'Inn', but the Qingluan Guard is known as the emperor's personal army. Without His Majesty's decree, he should not take it lightly.
As for the Shenshu Imperial Army, they are at the outermost edge of the imperial capital and have more freedom. This possibility cannot be ruled out. After all, it is because of the King of Liao that the 'Inn' has a grudge against our Qingpinghui. Due to emotions and reasons, the King of Liao
Everyone should express something."
Qi Xuansu had a headache, and it was the Imperial Guard of the Gods.
Xie Linyuan added: "However, the King of Liao did not dare to mobilize troops to seal the Thirteen Gates openly. This move is suspected of mutiny. If the Liao Dynasty
If the king really does this, then no matter how much your majesty trusts the king of Liao, for the sake of the authority of the emperor, this case cannot be broken, and something must be said. At the very least, the king of Liao's admiral, the chief military officer of the capital camp, cannot be retained. So.
It was difficult for the King of Liao to mobilize large groups of troops and use heavy firearms, so he could only send some masters."
Qi Xuansu's eyes lit up: "Now the elite of the Shenshu Imperial Army are in the Five Elements Mountains. The imperial capital is mainly responsible for the assistant commander of the imperial camp, military affairs and military affairs, and the commander-in-chief of Langya County. The King of Liao should not be able to send too many experts."
Xie Linyuan narrowed his eyes: "You said that the elite of the Divine Imperial Guard have all gone to the Five Elements Mountain."
Qi Xuansu asked: "Don't Mr. Xie know?"
"I've heard a little bit about it, but I don't know a lot of the inside story." Xie Linyuan said.
This is also reasonable. Many things that Qi Xuansu has known for a long time are actually very confidential to others. After all, Qi Xuansu's two major sources of information are Donghua Zhenren and Qiniang, one "in court" and the other "
"In the opposition", only with the combination of the two can we understand the imperial court's plan in Wuxing Mountain. Others are like blind men feeling the elephant, only knowing part of the truth and unable to see the whole picture.
As for why Qiniang didn't tell the truth to other members of the Qingping Society, Qi Xuansu didn't know. Anyway, Qiniang always acted unexpectedly, and he had long been used to it.
Qi Xuansu hesitated for a moment before telling Xie Linyuan part of the truth.
After Xie Linyuan heard this, he was shocked but not shocked. It seemed more like it confirmed his guess. After all, he was a person who had been in the center of the Imperial Capital for a long time. He couldn't really know anything about it.
"His Majesty bypassed the cabinet and cooperated with Taiping Dao. Taking advantage of the special location of Five Elements Mountain and the energy of Beilong, he intended to create a creation similar to Taoism's 'Emperor Shakti'." Xie Linyuan refined the content of Qi Xuansu's words and summarized the key points
The question is, "What is the attitude of Taoism? Or what is the attitude of Quanzhen Taoism and Zhengyiyi?"
Qi Xuansu said truthfully: "Of course I will try my best to stop it. As for how to stop it, whether by force or by skill, I don't know for the time being. After all, I am only a fourth-grade wine-sacrifice Taoist priest."
Xie Linyuanruo pointed out: "When it comes to Taiping Dao, ordinary Taoist priests of the fourth grade of wine sacrifice will not know the inside secrets. It can be seen that Master Donghua attaches great importance to Tianyuan and intends to reuse him. If I expected it to be true,
This is also a test for Tianyuan from Earth Master and Master Donghua. As long as Tianyuan can make achievements in this major event,
That is when you have truly entered the Dharma eyes of Earth Master and Master Donghua, and at least there is a smooth path within the Quanzhen Tao."
At first glance, the first half of Xie Linyuan's words sounded like the same old tune. Qi Xuansu also knew that he was highly valued and had a bright future. However, when he heard the second half of the words, he immediately heard a different meaning, especially the word "test", which was quite interesting.
Deep meaning.
If he cannot pass this test, does it mean that no matter how fast he is promoted now, he will still be stuck at a certain key threshold? After all, promotion to the second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest is a selection system, and merit alone is not enough. There is no need to get stuck too much
It only takes about ten years for Qi Xuansu to change from a real person who is expected to Pingzhang to a real person who is expected to be informed. If he is stuck for another ten years, he will have the life of an ordinary real person.
At the level of the fourth-grade wine-offering Taoist priest, Qiniang and Pei Xiaolou can still help Qi Xuansu. But when they reach the level of the second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest, it will be difficult for them to help if they want to move up.
If Qiniang has been developing in the Taoist sect, it is still possible. Unfortunately, she is a free bird. No matter how powerful she is, she can only exert her power indirectly through others. At that time, the ones who can really make a difference are the great masters and
Those at the top of the list know the real person.
As for realm cultivation, it is important or not. Taoist sects can even create immortals, but mere heavenly beings are nothing, unless Qi Xuansu can become a pseudo-immortal.
Therefore, Qi Xuansu still believes in Xie Linyuan's judgment. They are both high-ranking figures, so their various thoughts should be similar.
Xie Linyuan put on the mask of "Sheng Wuyou" again and said: "It's getting late, we can't continue to stay here."
"Mr. Xie's injury?" Qi Xuansu asked anyway.
Xie Linyuan said: "My backlash won't be cured for a while, so I'd better leave here first and then make long-term plans."
Qi Xuansu nodded silently and put on the mask of "Golden Mistaken Knife".
The two left the hiding place here. One of them was a Qi Refiner and the other was a Sanren. It was not difficult to fly to the sky and escape to the earth. Unfortunately, they could not directly open the "Yin and Yang Gate" like the alchemist, otherwise they could return silently.
Imperial Capital, don’t worry too much.
More than half an hour later, the Imperial City was already in sight. The two of them did not encounter an ambush from the "Inn". Perhaps the "Inn" was afraid of reinforcements from the Qingping Society. Or the "Cook" thought that it would be difficult for "Sheng Wuyou" to solve the imitation
"It's more expensive than corpse poison". In fact, it is true. Xie Linyuan is really helpless against this poison and can only ask Qiniang for help.
Qi Xuansu asked: "Our Qingping meeting
How much power is there in the Imperial Capital?"
Xie Linyuan did not answer directly: "If we only talk about Class A members, there are actually not many. You have to understand one thing, everyone has dual identities, and they are all subject to dual identities. If you are the head of Lingnan Daofu,
Then it is impossible for you to go to the Imperial Capital to participate in this revenge operation. In the same way, it is impossible for me, a cabinet minister, to go to the Western Regions, Liaodong, and Jiangnan. If something happens there, it can only be solved by other members. So the Qingping Association
It is true that the power is huge, but it is similar to Quanzhen Taoism. It is difficult to gather all the power. In this regard, Qingping Club is far inferior to the 'Inn'."
Qi Xuansu nodded. He understood why "Qingshanshi" represented the Privy Council in handling various affairs. It was not because "Qingshanshi" had the highest level of cultivation, but because "Qingshanshi" was a person who liked to travel around.
He will not be restricted to a certain place. Although "Sheng Wuyou" is also a celestial being in the creation stage, he is restricted by his status and cannot stay away from the Imperial Capital for too long.
After the death of "Qing Shan Shi", Qiniang took up this position. During the great calamity of Jinling Mansion, it was Qi Niang who came forward, but I don't know whether "Qing Shan Shi" had been attacked and died at that time.
In Qi Xuansu's view, the president of the association probably has two identities. It is precisely because he cannot take care of both that he has to set up a Privy Council to exercise most of the authority of the association president.
So far, Qi Xuansu already knows the identities of two members of the Privy Council. One is Qiniang, the owner of Qibaofang, and the other is Xie Linyuan, a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion. Not to mention that they are from the Yao family and the Xie family respectively.
They are aristocratic families in the Taoist and Confucian sects. So what are the identities of the other four people? What is the identity of the leader who is still above the Privy Council? Could it be a certain Pingzhang Great Master of the Taoist sect?
The Taoist sect now has seven Pingzhang great masters. This is a very terrifying number, and it is also the confidence of the Taoist sect to dominate the world. The master of the Wanxiang Taoist palace is just one of them. The other six people are like the master of the Wanxiang Taoist palace.
The masters of the palace generally guard one side, and some people have paid little attention to worldly affairs, but it is undeniable that both their realm and cultivation level, as well as their seniority and seniority, give them huge influence.
There is no need to say more about the state of cultivation. The least to say is that it is the beginning of a pseudo-immortal. Because Sun Hewu said that if the master of the Palm Palace is in the Wanxiang Tao Palace, then Zhang Wuhen will not be able to make waves.
In terms of seniority, most of the Shenzhi masters are seventh-generation disciples in their prime, a small number are sixth-generation disciples who are relatively low in the 24-year period, and Pingzhang Dazen people are all sixth-generation disciples who are relatively high.
generations of disciples, and even the legendary fifth generation of disciples.
