The doors and windows were closed, Yao Pei held a page of secret text and looked at it calmly.
At this time, Yao Pei no longer looked as dull as usual, and his long autumn eyes narrowed slightly, with a rather sharp look on his face.
"Tai Shang Wang Qing Sutra" is known as "Heaven's Calculation", and photographic memory is just ordinary. She has memorized all the original texts of "Xuan Sheng Xiang Er Zhu", and there is no need to compare them at all. She can directly translate these secret texts in her mind.
Similar to Qi Xuansu's secret page, there are only three words in the first column, which is "centering ape".
The second column is still "Buddha", with additional notes of "Five Fingers", "Ananda" and "Kasyapa".
The third column clearly marked the members of the "New Five-member Group": "big finger" Top Secret, "index finger" Zhou Jiaoxian, "middle finger" Qi Xuansu, "ring finger" Zhang Yuelu, and "little finger" Yao Pei.
As for the plan of the two five-person groups, both overt and covert, Yao Pei already knew about it before going to the Imperial Capital, so she was not surprised. Moreover, whether it was the five-person group on the surface or the five-person group secretly, she and Zhang Yuelu were both aware of it.
They are fixed members, so this has little impact. .??.
As for the ranking among the "Five Fingers", Yao Pei has no objection and doesn't care. For now, Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu are indeed more important than her. Both of them have other allies behind them. Of course, guests should be given priority.
She was more curious about who this "Big Finger" was, but even she couldn't know his true identity.
The "top secret" at this time is not so much for confidentiality, but rather as a taboo that is hard to put into words and does not want to leave traces.
Of course, Yao Pei would not ask Master Donghua Zhenren about this matter, because Master did not let her know and he had a deep meaning that he did not let her know, so asking would be in vain.
Yao Pei continued to look down.
Next comes the specific responsibilities.
Different from Qi Xuansu's "intermediary liaison", Yao Pei's duty is simple but not simple, that is, to keep an eye on Li Changge, and it is best for the two of them to "make money". In other words, if Li Changge can't do anything, Yao Pei's task is to keep an eye on Li Changge.
It’s done. This is why Zhang Yuelu asked Yao Pei to restrain Li Changge and Yao Pei agreed immediately.
Yao Pei had to admit the fact that there was a gap between her and Li Changge, both in terms of cultivation level and the power they could mobilize.
Putting aside the former, the advantage of banishing an immortal to immortality the day after tomorrow is indeed too great. Yao Pei cannot be said to be discouraged. When he reaches immortality in the future, this shortcut to heaven will become a dead end road with no future.
, at that time, the offensive and defensive momentum will be different.
The key now is the latter. The Imperial Capital is not the Jinling Mansion at the intersection of the three roads. For Taiping Dao, the Imperial Capital is half the home. The Li family has penetrated the imperial court for many years. Whether it is in-law relationships or interest alliances, the Li family has
He plays an important role in the imperial capital. Originally, these Li family princes refused to give in to each other, but Li Changge's identity allowed him to temporarily integrate these princes. The power in his hands was far greater than that of Yao Pei who was fighting in a foreign country.
So this task is easy to say, but very difficult to actually do.
From this point of view, Master Donghua was not polite to his disciple and niece, and he also wanted to test her.
Not seeing how Yao Pei acted, the cipher text in his hand was shattered inch by inch.
Yao Pei came to the window, opened the window and looked out at Penglai Pond, lost in thought.
On the other side, Zhang Yuelu also received this secret message.
Like Qi Xuansu, she needs to refer to the very obscure "Xuansheng Xiang'er Notes". You must know that this is a book that even the old master Sun Hewu has not read. There are really not many people in the Taoist sect who have read it. The main reason is that the five generations of great masters have ascended.
After that, the three deputy head masters deliberately downplayed the existence of this book. Over time, this book became half a taboo. No one can say which law it violated, and no one has ever been punished for it.
Sin, but if this book is mentioned openly, everyone will understand tacitly - this is not good. You have to figure out why it is not good.
As the grand-niece of the Heavenly Master and the beloved junior of the Earth Master, Zhang Yuelu doesn't care about any taboos. It's just that she is still young and has limited time. Reading those vast Confucian and Taoist classics consumes most of her energy, and she really can't take into account these indifferent things.
book of.
So this is Zhang Yuelu's first time watching "Xuan Sheng Xiang Er Zhu".
She originally planned to just take a casual look and then translate the cipher text, but she accidentally fell into it at this glance.
She only felt that many of the ideas of the Fifth Generation Grand Master coincided with hers, and her understanding was more thorough and her insights were more profound.
Zhang Yuelu couldn't help but said: "If the sixth generation of great masters could continue the various measures of the fifth generation of great masters, the Tao sect would at least not be like what it is today. It's a pity..."
At this point, Zhang Yuelu's words stopped abruptly.
Who rejected the various decisions made by the Fifth Generation Grand Master? It was not the Sixth Generation Grand Master, but the current three deputy Grand Masters, namely the Heavenly Master, the Earth Master, and the National Master.
Although they are now hostile to each other, they had a tacit understanding and formed an alliance many years ago.
It is not even easy to say that they are going against the grain, because in the eyes of many people, the three deputy head masters are actually trying to bring order out of chaos, and behind them are countless Taoist priests whose interests have been harmed.
Zhang Yuelu naturally understands this
reason.
It's just that these Taoist priests whose interests were harmed by the Five Dynasties Great Masters also harmed the interests of the Taoist sect.
Young people are always passionate. In fact, there are many young people like Zhang Yuelu who can't stand the current situation and are determined to save the Taoist sect. Outsiders call them young men. Su Ran is an overly radical young man, and Su Li is
A relatively moderate young man.
This is the struggle between the old and the new within the Taoist sect that has been overshadowed by the dispute between the three ways. The young sect, dominated by eight generations of disciples, is gradually coming to the stage. This also makes the internal struggle within the Taoist sect more and more complicated. It is really difficult to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.
Zhang Yuelu came to his senses, stopped studying the "Xuan Sheng Xiang'er Commentary", and began to translate the secret text.
Next to the original text of the cipher text, rows of translated characters were quickly filled up.
The first column is also the same three words:
Centering Ape!
The second column is "Buddha", "Ananda", and "Kasyapa".
The "five fingers" in the third column.
Zhang Yuelu's face gradually became serious.
Regarding the reorganization of the five-person team, Zhang Yuelu did not know about it in advance, but he had expected it from many hints from his master and was not surprised.
Because Zhang Yuelu is not a Quanzhen Taoist, the identity of the "index finger" is not marked. However, based on the information he has, Zhang Yuelu can still roughly infer that the "index finger" is the chief deputy master of the Imperial Palace, Zhou Jiaoxian. After all, he
He was originally a Quanzhen Tao disciple, and with Shi Bingyun restraining Li Ruoshui, he was the only one left among the three pillars of the Imperial Palace, so it was not difficult to guess.
She also had a question: who is the mysterious "Big Finger"?
There is no doubt that among the "five fingers" used by "Buddha" to suppress "Heart Monkey", the "big finger" is the key. Otherwise, just the four of them, even if there are no other obstacles, will only face the already formed
"Heart-monkey" doesn't have a great chance of winning.
After all, "Heart Monkey" is known as the "Emperor Shakti". Once it is successfully refined, it will become an immortal, and it will be an extremely special mind-cultivating immortal.
It's just that Yao Pei, as a disciple of Master Donghua, has the word "Pei" in his name, so it's hard to guess. After all, Zhang Yuelu is separated by another layer, so it's even harder to guess.
She had no choice but to give up and continue looking down.
Next is Zhang Yuelu's specific responsibilities.
Qi Xuansu acted as the middle liaison, and Yao Pei tried his best to contain Li Changge. If nothing unexpected happened, Zhou Jiaoxian should have taken advantage of his position, mobilized part of the power of the Imperial Palace, and would have done so himself when necessary.
As for Zhang Yuelu’s mission, it is
To make up for some of Qi Xuansu's shortcomings, her task is to contact Ziguang Society.
Just as Qi Xuansu is in charge of Qingpinghui, because Qiniang is Qi Xuansu's godmother and a senior member of Qingpinghui, there is no barrier between the two and they can communicate at any time. Moreover, they do not have to have so many scruples when communicating and can express their intentions more accurately.
.Substitute someone who is not familiar with Qiniang. If Qiniang cannot be found at the critical moment, or misunderstanding occurs due to suspicion or fear of saying the wrong thing, there will be no regrets.
Qi Xuansu was not familiar with Ziguang Society on the other side. Asking him to contact Ziguang Society would have to go through the process of testing, contacting, and getting familiar with it. It would be better to let a Zhang family member take charge directly.
There are not many children of the Zhang family in Beijing, and there are a few who are not core members, so it is difficult for them to take on big posts. Zhang Yuelu is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.
Originally, Zhang Yuyue was more suitable than Zhang Yuelu as a granddaughter with a closer blood relationship, but it was a pity that she was ineffective. This is also a pity for many Zhang family members. How could the direct descendants of the Li family and the Yao family be able to stand alone? How could the direct descendants of the Zhang family be replaced by one?
The disciples of Xiaozong have overshadowed all the limelight?
Zhang Yuelu was surprised but not surprised when he saw this mission.
Asking the deputy leader of Tiangang Hall to contact the secret society seems to be a mockery of the entire Taoist sect, but if you think about it carefully, it makes some sense.
The Taoist sect's attitude towards secret societies has never been to eliminate them all, and there is also the option of recruiting them.
In fact, since the Xuansheng era, Zhengyi has been in charge of the affairs of ghosts and gods, and is the one who has the deepest contact with the ancient immortals. Not to mention Zhang Wushou, the two brothers and sisters Zhang Wuhen have the blood of the ancient immortals, and their original power is still higher than that of the three ancient immortals.
The Supreme Lord Taiyin was personally recruited by Yan Feiqing, a heavenly master with a different surname.
Among the three existing secret societies, Ziguang Society is the only one that has no blood debt, has the least guilt, and is most likely to be recruited.
If one day, the Taoist sect is too weak to support multi-front operations, and it is really necessary to recruit An Ziguang Society to reduce the pressure, it is impossible to say that the Zhang family will also come forward.
Once the overall view rises to the entire Taoist sect and the entire world, it cannot be judged by simple good and evil.
Zhang Yuelu understands this truth.
That's why she didn't object to Qi Xuansu keeping Lin Yuanmiao by his side. The reason was very simple. Since she didn't object to Tianshi being entangled with Ziguang Society, she couldn't have double standards against Qi Xuansu, otherwise she would become a villain who bullies the weak and fears the strong.
Her insistence is that she doesn’t have to be a saint or a good person in the traditional sense, but she can’t be a villain.
But when it came time for her to face Ziguang Society in person, she still felt weird in her heart.
Having dealt with so many secret societies, this is the first time we have sat down to talk.
