Dazhen Mansion is the seat of the cardinals of the Zhengyi dynasty. It sends and receives countless messages every day, so it does not restrict methods such as Zimu talismans and communication talisman arrays, and it is impossible to carefully screen all messages.
In fact, Dazhen Mansion does have a formation to isolate the inside and outside, but it is just a peaceful world and will not be opened easily.
This gave Qi Xuansu an opportunity. He took out the "Golden Purple Fish Talisman" and started to contact Qiniang.
Judging by the time, Qiniang had already won the Xuansheng Card Competition. Not only did she give Yao Pei the title of "Sage of Cards", but she also made a small fortune. The key is also a small fortune.
So Qiniang was in a good mood, and she greeted Qi Xuansu for the first time, as if she were a loving mother. Qi Xuansu was not used to it, and she was even a little flattered.
Then Qi Xuansu told the story about how he was framed. He didn't want to vent his anger, but he wanted to know who was behind this matter. To say it was Taiping Dao or the Li family, the method was too rough and unlike
Their behavior is more like someone who dislikes Qi Xuansu and deliberately disgusts Qi Xuansu, rather than hoping to bring Qi Xuansu down. Or is this a warning?
Of course, it is also possible that this incident could have caused quite a stir, but was resolved by the Heavenly Master in an understatement. In the eyes of many people, it was a life-and-death turmoil, and it would dissipate in the presence of a big shot, but the Heavenly Master did not want to take credit.
Therefore, it gave Qi Xuansu the illusion that he was not a threat...
Qi Xuansu's foundation is too shallow and he is still a bare-bones general. With his own ability, it is difficult to find out the matter. He can only ask Qiniang for help. If Qiniang doesn't help, then ask Zhang Yuelu for help. After all, Tianshi has handed over the Ziguang Society's line.
In the hands of Zhang Yuelu.
Because of this, Qi Xuansu suddenly discovered the fact that the discord between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is actually a double-edged sword. If he can't handle it well, he will naturally be a rat in the bellows, suffering from both ends. But if he handles it well, he can get the best of both ends.
If Qiniang oppresses him, then he can unite with Zhang Yuelu to fight against Qiniang. If Zhang Yuelu bullies him, he can seek justice from Qiniang.
After Qiniang heard this, she laughed: "Innocence is such a good weapon, it would be a pity not to use it to frame someone."
Then Qiniang said again: "Leave this matter to me, don't worry."
To be fair, Qiniang is indeed greedy for money, but she is extremely reliable in doing things. She always has a reliable feeling that everything is under control. So far, Qi Xuansu has not been disappointed.
Since Qiniang said this, Qi Xuansu stopped talking about it and turned to talk about his trip to Yunjin Mountain.
Qiniang is well-informed and knows everything about Qi Xuansu's whereabouts.
There are probably quite a few, so it’s not surprising.
"Qiniang, the Heavenly Master praised me so highly and said there was a new piece of firewood missing in the stove. Is it related to the alliance between Zhengyiyi and Quanzhen Taoism?" Qi Xuansu asked.
Qiniang said bluntly: "There is indeed such a consideration. You can be regarded as Yao Pei's replacement."
Qi Xuansu had a feeling before that Quanzhen Taoism seemed to be cultivating him as a substitute for Yao Pei. He was still confused at the time, but now he understands that it turned out to be such a substitute. Because Yao Pei is a woman, and the Zhang family has nothing
Only one suitable man, Zhang Yuelu, is enough, but two women cannot become Taoist couples, so someone needs to replace Yao Pei to represent Quanzhen Taoism in marriage with Zhengyi. Although Qi Xuansu is not named Yao, because of Qiniang,
Barely considered half of the Yao family, that's enough.
So Qi Xuansu's judgment was correct. Fortunately, Yao Pei was not a man, otherwise something big would have happened. If Yao Pei were a man, then the relationship between him and Yao Pei would not be so harmonious. Maybe the enemies would be particularly jealous when they meet.
Of course, this is not Qi Xuansu's only role. Quanzhen Taoism must have considered many aspects of his training. If Yao Pei really wanted to have three advantages and two disadvantages, he could also push Qi Xuansu up and let Qi Xuansu become the head coach. It is better than leaving it to Li
home or Zhang family.
Qi Xuansu asked again: "Qiniang, what do you think Zhang Jucheng's intention is when he meets me?"
Qiniang said casually: "I will give you one million Taiping money to let you leave Zhang Yuelu."
Qi Xuansu didn't say anything for a long time, but Qi Niang was still ruthless. When he opened his mouth, the price changed from 500,000 Taiping money to 1 million Taiping money.
Qiniang changed the topic: "If he really does this, then his life will end here. Let alone inheriting the position of Heavenly Master, even being a great master of Pingzhang is enough. Let me tell you, Zhang Jucheng is prejudiced
You, first, go through the motions, after all, he is the deputy clan leader, and he can ignore you when he sees you. Second, you need to take a look at your attitude, and then judge Zhang Yuelu's attitude behind you through your attitude. Third, follow him.
You negotiate terms."
"What conditions are we talking about?" Qi Xuansu asked again.
Qiniang said: "The so-called negotiation of terms is actually a compromise between each other. If he takes a step back, you will take a step back. The sky is brighter. As for compromising on something, I will only give you a hint. People in Zhang Jucheng's position will not know how to do it.
To get angry with you for no reason, let alone act out of anger, that is what Tantai Qiong would do.
The key to love lies in the word 'interests and harms'. You can think of the rest by yourself. Now that you are old enough, you must learn to think independently."
With that, Qiniang ended the conversation.
Qi Xuansu can only think independently.
Zhang Jucheng was greatly shocked and decided to have a talk with him. This must be related to Zhang Yuelu.
Why is the head of the Zhang family afraid of Zhang Yuelu? Because they are afraid that Zhang Yuelu will seize the power of the Zhang family. This is not a matter of one generation, but a matter that affects future generations. If Zhang Yuelu only serves as a heavenly master, then they will endure it. They are afraid.
It was Zhang Yuelu who passed on the position of Heavenly Master to her descendants. In this way, her branch changed from a small sect to a large sect. They have been heavenly masters for generations, and the original large sect has become a small sect and has never been able to turn around again.
On this day, this is the correct way to use both truth and falsehood when pretending to be true.
This is not an unfounded worry. The Li family's main branch changed hands several times, and it was not until the generation of the Imperial Master that it came back. However, the Li family did not seem to care much about this kind of thing, and they seemed to take turns to make the decision.
Then the pursuit of the Zhang family's sect became clearer. They saw that the Zhang family's sect was really in a state of decline, and there were powerful enemies around. As Zhang Yuelu's wings grew stronger and the Tianshi's attitude gradually became clearer, it was the general trend for Zhang Yuelu to ascend to the throne.
, is not easy to reverse, so at this point, they can give in.
They took a step back, and Zhang Yuelu should naturally take a step back. That was to ensure that the position of the Zhang family's main sect was stable.
How to ensure the stability of the Zhang family? A mere verbal promise may not be convincing.
Zhang Jucheng is the same generation as Master Cihang and Master Donghua, and they are almost the same age. He is nearly forty years older than Zhang Yuelu. Putting aside for the time being the question of whether Zhang Yuelu can become the Great Master, even if he becomes the first
The Celestial Master passes the throne to Zhang Yuelu, and Zhang Yuelu can still be the Celestial Master for nearly forty years. This period of time is really not short, and it is enough for Zhang Yuelu to make the fake become the real one.
This may be the issue Zhang Jucheng wants to talk about.
As for why he didn't talk to Zhang Yuelu, it was probably because there was no suitable opportunity. On the contrary, Qi Xuansu had a very suitable reason. Qi Xuansu was a guest. As the host, it was reasonable for him to entertain the guests and meet his juniors.
.
These are the three points Qiniang said.
Qi Xuansu couldn't help but sigh, Jiang is so old, Qiniang can see the essence of the matter at a glance, but he is still in the clouds, and still stays at the level of their marriage. So Donghua Zhenren said that Qiniang is a troublesome person, and he only
He could be a soldier under Master Donghua.
After understanding this, Qi Xuansu will be able to have a rough idea of the upcoming meeting.
Logically speaking, Qi Xuansu should talk to Zhang Yuelu in advance to vent his anger and exchange opinions, and it would be best to reach a certain consensus. However, when he heard that Zhang Kuqi's family was also staying at Dazhen Mansion, he gave up the idea of meeting Zhang Yuelu for the time being.
It's not that he is afraid of Tantai Qiong. He was not afraid when he was unknown. There is no reason for him to be afraid now. After all, Tantai Qiong is Zhang Yuelu's mother. For Zhang Yuelu's sake, it is best to leave some room for it, so
Let Zhang Yuelu handle it by himself. His presence will only add fuel to the fire and intensify the conflict.
Early the next morning, Qi Xuansu woke up from his trance. Since the agreed time was noon, Qi Xuansu still had one morning to spare and could not go to Zhang Yuelu, so he planned to visit the Dazhen Mansion and meet Wanshou Chongyang.
The Taoist holy land with the same name as the palace. Before leaving, Tang Jiaohua gave Qi Xuansu a sign stating that as long as it was not the Wanfa Zongtan, Xuanwu Hall, Suppressing Demon Platform and other forbidden places, other places would be unimpeded.
Qi Xuansu went out and met Zhang Chiyue again within a few steps.
This is also a half-acquaintance. The last time he came to Yunjin Mountain, he met Zhang Yuelu's cousin, and they had a good conversation at that time. However, the cousin did not speak highly of him afterwards. Instead, Zhang Yuyue spoke highly of him.
The rating is very high.
What's even more coincidental is that Zhang Chiyue is a fourth-grade wine-sacrifice Taoist priest who serves as the director of Ziweitang. In every aspect, he is lower than Qi Xuansu. If Qi Xuansu really wants to put on airs, he can only suffer.
However, this is the Zhang family and there are some human relationships to deal with, so the two of them did not address each other by title, but addressed each other as Taoist brothers.
Qi Xuansu judged that meeting Zhang Chiyue was not a coincidence, but that Zhang Chiyue had been waiting for a long time.
After Zhang Chiyue learned that Qi Xuansu planned to visit Da Zhenren's mansion, he took the initiative to ask Ying to be Qi Xuansu's guide.
Qi Xuansu couldn't refuse, so the two of them walked together in Da Zhen's mansion, chatting every now and then.
After walking for a while, Zhang Chiyue suddenly said: "Brother Qi Dao, many people are very interested in you recently."
Qi Xuansu has seen more of the world now, and his mood naturally improved. He was not surprised, and his reaction was very calm: "Interested? You don't want to try my skills, do you? It's best to give me a show of strength."
Zhang Chiyue did not confirm or deny, but just said: "Young and frivolous, if you are not energetic, you will not be called a young man."
