As expected, "Yinglong" only stayed for half an hour, with only people getting on and no one getting off. Then it took off again and headed towards Yujing.
Shortly after taking off, an assistant from the Zhenjing Academy came to Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu with a very friendly attitude: "Deputy Hall Master Zhang, Chief Qi, the Imperial Master has invited you."
Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu looked at each other.
Not to mention Zhang Yuelu, Qi Xuansu originally thought that the first deputy head master he met was either a heavenly master or an earth master. The former was Zhang Yuelu's natal family and the elder of his elders. The latter was the leader of Quanzhen Taoism.
, is his boss's boss. But he never expected that the first deputy headmaster Da Zhenren he met would be a national master who had nothing to do with him.
If you insist on saying that he has any relationship with the Imperial Master, it is purely a bad relationship. From the second Jiangnan case to the "Focusing Monkey" plan, he was involved in everything.
But no matter what Qi Xuansu thought, when the Imperial Preceptor was called, he didn't dare not to go, and he had no choice but to go. Not to mention that the Imperial Preceptor could crush him to death with one finger, but in terms of positions, the two of them were three ranks apart.
There are five levels: Second Grade, Shenzhi, Pingzhang, and Deputy Headmaster. ??
Zhang Yuelu was still calm and said: "Excuse me, please lead the way."
Under the leadership of the assistant, the three of them walked to the third floor of "Yinglong", where the study of Imperial Master Li Changgeng was located.
The assistant minister walked in front, and at the same time he did not forget to explain: "Only when the imperial master is asking questions, the two of you can speak. At the same time, you must use appropriate honorifics. You can call the deputy head master, the great master, or the imperial master. Don't be timid.
, don’t be cynical, just be normal. I know that both of them are talented people and are the juniors of the Heavenly Master and the Earth Master. It’s just that the three deputy masters have different habits, so I still need to pay more attention to avoid violating taboos.
"
Zhang Yuelu said: "This is natural."
While he was talking, he had already arrived at the door of the Imperial Master's study. From the outside, it didn't look very luxurious or special.
The assistant manager did not knock on the door, but opened the door directly and walked in.
Because the Imperial Master was not the only one in the study at this time, there were other people, all looking at Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu, with different expressions, less kind and more malicious.
The Imperial Master is the only person sitting in the study. Judging from his appearance, he is about sixty years old. He has black hair and a black beard. He has a strange appearance and a majestic demeanor. He is in sharp contrast to the Heavenly Master with white hair and white beard. He seems to be important to the Heavenly Master.
He is much older than the Imperial Master. In fact, the gap between the Imperial Master and the Heavenly Master is only a few years. However, this is the consistent style of Taiping Dao, and Master Qingwei looks much younger than Master Donghua.
Zhang Yuelu and Qi Xuansu saluted together: "I have met the deputy head master Da Zhenren."
The Imperial Master sitting behind the desk waved his hand: "You guys go down first."
The rest of the study
Everyone bowed to the Imperial Master and then exited the study one by one.
"Yongyan speaks highly of the two of you." The Imperial Master looked at the young men and women in front of him, "You are worthy of being the key figures of the 'Calming Ape'."
Like Master Jiang Hedao, there is no sense of oppression in the sight of the Imperial Master. If there is a sense of oppression, it is the psychological oppression brought about by the identity of the Imperial Master. To put it bluntly, he is putting pressure on himself.
Qi Xuansu lowered his head slightly: "The national master has given me too much praise, and my Taoist brother Yongyan has given me too much praise."
The Imperial Master looked away and said: "You two will most likely go on an expedition with the army and be in a different place. You must know how to help each other. If you have any difficulties, you can go directly to Zhenren Qingwei."
"I sincerely follow the teachings of Deputy Head Master Da Zhenren." Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu said in unison.
The Imperial Master waved his hand: "Okay, you go."
"Yes." The two of them bowed again and exited the Imperial Master's study.
The assistant still stood outside the door, waiting for the two to come out, and then led them to their respective rooms.
The two of them didn't speak to each other along the way, but they knew it well. When the imperial master met them this time, it was not about wooing them, but he gave them a choice - the Li family was willing to accept the two of them. As early as the Xin Xue Saint
At that time, the Li family paid great attention to recruiting talents, mainly through son-in-law and adopted son. This is also the reason why the Li family grew stronger.
After arranging the accommodation for the two of them, the assistant manager of Zhenjing Villa said goodbye and left. Qi Xuansu went to Zhang Yuelu's room again, but did not dare to mention what happened just now.
With the state master's level of cultivation, I am afraid that the entire ship is in his perception. It is really difficult to immediately discuss the profound meaning of the state master's move behind his back. Qi Xuansu could only joke: "I never expected to be able to see the state master."
, I can be considered a person who has seen a lot of things in the world, so I won’t be nervous when I go to your house again. After all, it has been difficult to overcome the difficulties. When the time comes, I will sit there and pour tea to Xiao Zhang. "
Zhang Yuelu smiled with a hidden knife: "Everyone in Yunjinshan has the surname Zhang. Who is this 'Xiao Zhang' you are talking about?"
Qi Xuansu said: "Since it is 'Little Zhang', it means you are not very old. Of course it is you. It cannot be Uncle Zhang. He is 'Old Zhang'."
Zhang Yuelu chuckled: "Okay, okay, okay."
Qi Xuansu said confidently: "What's wrong with me finally being a guest and enjoying myself?"
"Nothing, Xiao Zhang is going to pour tea for Mr. Qi." Zhang Yuelu actually got up and poured it for Qi Xuansu.
A cup of tea - everything is well stocked here, even alcohol.
Qi Xuansu held up the tea cup and coughed twice: "Actually, I just said it casually."
Zhang Yuelu looked at him: "Then I don't care. When we get to Yunjin Mountain, I will just pour you tea, and the rest is up to you."
Qi Xuansu almost spit out the tea he just drank: "How can I cope with it?"
"You are a person who has seen the big world, why can't you cope with it?" Zhang Yuelu pushed Qi Xuansu, "I'm tired, you go back to your room."
Qi Xuansu was pushed out by Zhang Yuelu.
"Yinglong" was much faster than ordinary flying boats, and it only took one day to enter Kunlun.
Not only was it smooth sailing along the way, but it was also escorted by a flying boat from the Kunlun Taoist Prefecture.
This opened Qi Xuansu's eyes.
But having said that, airships that need escort often do not have escorts, but Qi Xuansu jumped into the air. "Yinglong" has a national master personally stationed in charge, and no one dares to provoke it, but it has an escort. It is because of the Supreme Commander Yinglong.
The Taoist Patriarch said: "Heaven's way damages more than enough but makes up for the deficiency; man's way damages not enough but provides more than enough." ??
After entering the scope of Yujing, ordinary flying boats can only be parked outside the city, and passengers have to enter Yujing on foot. Even if they return from a mission, they will at most have a special vehicle to pick them up. The boat can be used by the deputy commander Da Zhenren.
However, you can directly pass through Yujing's formation, enter Xuandu, enter Zifu, and finally land in the Yaochi inside Zifu.
This Yaochi is not the Yaochi in the Daxue Mountain of the Taoist Prefecture of the Western Regions - although the Queen Mother of the West uses Kunlun as her palace, she also has her own cave away from the palace, where she travels and rests, and does not live exclusively in one mountain. Therefore, the Yaochi is not one place, but three.
Including the Imperial Master's ship, there were only five ships moored in Yaochi at this time. Four of them, "Yinglong", corresponded to the three deputy masters, Dazhenren and the chief master respectively. The chief master's "Yinglong"
"It's a bit taller than the deputy headmaster's "Yinglong". Compared with the four huge "Yinglongs", the fifth ship looks very small and delicate, and its body is snow-white. This is the Xuansheng seat ship of that year, and it is also
The ancestor of many flying boats, it has been parked in the Yaochi for many years, becoming a movable "pavilion and water pavilion" where the great masters of the past dynasties would occasionally enjoy the scenery or discuss matters with the great masters.
Qi Xuansu never thought that he would enter Zi Mansion for the first time.
The Imperial Master should disembark first, followed by the others.
To the north of Yaochi is the Zixiao Palace with faint purple energy, to the east is the "Thirty-Three Heavens Palace" without the top, and not far from the west is the Golden Palace. Zhang Yuelu is not a real person, but because she is the deputy hall of Tiangang Hall
Lord, so he made an exception and obtained the qualification to attend the meeting, and directly followed the Imperial Preceptor to Jinque to participate in the discussion, along with Li Changge.
Qi Xuansu did not have such qualifications and could only leave the Zi Mansion alone. It is not easy to enter the Zi Mansion, but it is not difficult to leave.
Because it involves the war, Tiangang Hall must be very busy at this time, so Qi Xuansu also unintentionally revisited, choosing to go back to his small home in Yujing first.
It was still the familiar Haichanfang and the familiar alley. Qi Xuansu walked into it and walked all the way to the end of the alley. There were only two families here. In addition to Lao Qi's family, there was a Taoist nun named Cui.
When Qi Xuansu came to the door of her house, she suddenly found Taoist Cui sitting on the steps in front of her house, with some children's toys in front of her.
Qi Xuansu vaguely remembered that Taoist Cui had a child, but he died at a very young age. There was nothing that could be done about it. The Taoist sect’s medical skills were actually very abnormal.
Cultivation has extremely high requirements. If there is no corresponding realm to support it, it will be overwhelmed by the huge power of the medicine. How can a child of several years old have any realm of cultivation? It is reasonable to die young.
Qi Xuansu still remembered that Aunt Cui had been haggard and depressed for a long time because of this incident.
Thinking of this past incident, Qi Xuansu hesitated for a moment, then walked up to Aunt Cui and called softly: "Aunt Cui?"
Cui Daogu, who was indulging in her own world, slowly raised her head, her eyes were a little distracted, and she gradually came back to her senses after a while: "It's Tianyuan, when did you come back?"
Qi Xuansu said: "I just came back."
"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back." Aunt Cui was a little absent-minded.
Qi Xuansu looked at the objects belonging to children and asked tentatively: "Aunt Cui, this is..."
"These are the ones." Taoist Cui smiled, "I just took a rest today, so I cleaned the house and found these things in the nooks and crannies."
Then she cursed: "This little bastard hid all his treasures tightly, stuffing them in the cracks of the bed and under the cabinet. If he were alive, I would have to give him a good beating, but he still doesn't deserve it."
died!"
Aunt Cui had no tears and seemed to be fine.
But if it really didn't matter, she wouldn't be sitting here alone.
Qi Xuansu had no children, but she was speechless and didn't know how to comfort Taoist Cui.
In the end, Aunt Cui had to sort herself out. She wanted to throw away these gadgets, but after thinking about it, she put them away again.
