Fenglinzhou has entered the final stage, but Zhang Yuelu and others have not returned yet. It is said to be the final stage, but in fact it is still complicated and there is no room for sloppiness.
Qi Xuansu was alone in Yujing and had nothing to do. After sorting out what he got this time, in fact, apart from the credit, there were not many external things.
The main thing is "Pure Bodhi", which Qi Xuansu got in exchange for two semi-immortal objects. He originally gained a lot of divine power, but because of the evil fire incident, most of it was consumed, and now he only has two thousand moments of divine power left. Fortunately, he also got a
The magical power of evil fire, if we use the naming convention of Westerners, it can be named "Izanozun's left hand".
Not to mention peace money, he was promoted and paid a raise, but because of the matter of buying a house, all the regular money for the next few years was given to Qiniang, and now there is not even a bit left. Fortunately, at this level, he has all the basic necessities of life.
It's guaranteed, but there's nothing much to spend on it.
Then there is the C-level authority from the Jianxiu Mountain Creation Project, which was granted by the Earth Master himself. Although it is far inferior to the A-level authority and B-level authority, the advantage is that it is granted for a long time and may play an unexpected role at some point.
For this reason, Qi Xuansu specifically asked Qiniang why he could be granted authority directly without the help of external objects if he had the "Heart of the Immortality Stone".
Qiniang explained, "The 'Heart of the Immortal Stone' is an external object. There is no need to rely on external objects. However, you mistakenly entered the cave of the ghost country and gained the ability to open the cave of the ghost country and summon the three major evil objects.
Its essence is also a kind of authority, and the Earth Master grants you authority on this basis. If you were someone else, you wouldn't have such convenient conditions."
Qi Xuansu felt that Qiniang had only explained half of the explanation, and the root cause was not fully explained, so he asked, "The reason why I was able to obtain the so-called permission to open the cave of the ghost country last time was because I absorbed a flat crown from the cave of the ghost country.
It makes sense that this object is closely related to the cave of the ghost kingdom. The summoning of the three major ghost objects is due to the agreement between us, not force. How did the earth master transmit the divine power to me through the air to grant permission?
"
Qiniang acted rogue at this time, "Then you should ask the Earth Master, not me. I'm not an Earth Master, and I can't grant you any first-class or second-class permissions. How do I know?"
There was no way to continue the conversation. Of course, Qi Xuansu could not ask the Earth Master. Not to mention that this involved the core secrets of Quanzhen Tao. He was not familiar with the Earth Master. In the words of people in the court, he had no chance to see the face of the sky.
.
Even if he meets the Earth Master, he can only listen to the Earth Master's admonitions and exhortations, and there is no room for him to take the initiative to ask the Earth Master. In fact, except for the Heavenly Master who seems to be very talkative on the surface, both the Earth Master and the National Master are very bad.
say.
Qi Xuansu had no choice but to keep this question in his heart for the time being.
After Qiniang finished these things, she planned to leave Yujing. She didn't want to stay for a moment longer. In other words, she had stayed in Yujing long enough and she had already made an exception for Qi Xuansu. According to her past habits, she never stayed in a certain place.
A place to stay for a long time.
After all, Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu are not planning to get married this year. It will take time to clean up the house and prepare betrothal gifts and dowry. It is best to wait until the two of them have completed their local experience and return to Yujing. They will have more time and save the need to travel back and forth.
toss.
Qi Xuansu naturally wanted to retain Qiniang and let her stay for a while, not that he wanted to fulfill her filial piety under her knee, but that seemed a bit vain.
The age of fifty to sixty, for ordinary people, has entered old age, and the energy is not as good as before, but for a pseudo-immortal, it is in the prime of life, with a high level of cultivation.
It is almost complete, and there are still about forty years left in the second half of life, just in time to show off their grand plans, and this is certainly the case for the three princes of the Taoist sect.
Therefore, Qiniang has no idea of getting old. In her opinion, it is only her role to take care of Qi Xuansu, and it is not Qi Xuansu's "child" who is at an immeasurable stage to take care of her.
Qi Xuansu mainly felt that the two of them were together less and separated more, and it was rare for them to have a chance to be together, so Qi Xuansu still hoped that Qiniang would stay a few more days.
However, this request was flatly rejected by Qiniang. She did not like the serious atmosphere of Yujing and preferred the freedom of Jianghu.
Qi Xuansu had no choice but to say goodbye to Qiniang.
In a sense, Zhang Yuelu and Qiniang are both very cool people. They don't care about favors or humiliations, have no intention of leaving or leaving, and never care about them. It's just that Zhang Yuelu has a heavier sense of responsibility and has greater ambitions. On the contrary, Qi Xuansu can't be said to be a cool person.
The character is more like a compromise between the two. She lives high in the temple, but her ambitions are not as good as Zhang Yuelu's. She lives far away from the world, and she is not as carefree as Qiniang.
But then I thought about it, if there is no compromise, how can we reconcile it? People in the Central Plains still like to talk about moderation.
Qiniang just left, waving her sleeves and leaving behind a huge sum of 1.45 million Taiping money, but she didn't take away half of Yu Jing's piece of paper.
Before leaving, Qi Xuansu did not forget to mention Fan Ji's matter, Qiniang agreed immediately, and the business
Qi Xuansu doesn't have to worry about things. This is her strength. Qi Xuansu just takes care of herself.
Qi Xuansu will continue to stay in Yujing, waiting for the final news of what Donghua Zhenren said is "something that has not yet been determined."
April has entered in the blink of an eye. Although Qi Xuansu is not qualified to participate in the Jinque discussion. However, he participated in a Taoist joint discussion. The specifications of this meeting are under the Jinque small discussion. The symbolic significance is not great, but the practical significance is great. Mainly
It is a mechanism for coordinating the multiple responsibilities of each Taoist hall. With the permission of Jinque, all Taoist halls discuss at the first level, communicate in a timely manner, and coordinate different opinions to promote the smooth implementation of a certain goal or task.
This is also the highest-level discussion in government affairs below Jinque. Every time a discussion is held, there will be a leading Taoist hall. It is not fixed to a certain Taoist hall, but depends on the specific goals or tasks. There is no seal for the discussion. If you want to write it, the leader
In the name of a Taoist temple, the seal of the leading Taotang is used, and the name is jointly written with other Taotangs.
Generally speaking, Ziweitang rarely takes the lead as the Taoist Hall, because Ziweitang is in charge of personnel affairs. Low-level personnel changes do not require the mobilization of troops, while high-level personnel changes must go through Jinque.
The most common one that takes the lead in convening joint Taoist meetings is Shibotang, which involves all aspects of trade. External affairs require temples and sacrificial halls, external security requires Tiangang Hall, and internal integrity requires Beichen Hall and Fengxian Hall, not to mention the source of goods.
Tianji Hall, Huasheng Hall and Duzhi Hall, which holds financial power, not only need the cooperation and support of the other eight halls, but also the cooperation and support of the local government. In addition, Jiangnan Province, Lingnan Province, Liaodong Province, etc.
Prefectural and coastal prefectures are the main ones.
The leading Taoist hall this time is Tiangang Hall, with Master Cihang personally presiding over the proceedings.
Except for Master Donghua, the leader of Ziweitang, and Master Qingwei, the leader of Beichen Hall, who were not present, the other masters were all present.
As long as the deputy hall masters who are in Yujing are all involved in the discussion, even Lei Xiaohuan, who is about to leave his job. The deputy hall masters who are not in Yujing do not need to participate remotely, and the spirit of the discussion will be conveyed in written materials afterwards.
Such a momentum naturally shows that the matter involved is not trivial, but it does not mean that there is a war. Not to mention that the war in Fenglinzhou is not over yet, and it is not easy to fight on two fronts, mainly because the three parties of Tiangangtang, Ziweitang and Beichentang are fighting.
The situation of the three upper-level halls is similar. They rarely take the lead, because whether it is a change in high-level personnel, the start of a war, or a major catastrophe.
All the cases have to go through Jinque, who will coordinate and coordinate them. They cannot be solved by joint discussions. Therefore, this joint discussion is very special.
The venue of the meeting was naturally located at Tiangang Hall, and Qi Xuansu returned to his hometown with ease. Because he had already told him beforehand that he was not allowed to bring his entourage or secretary, so Qi Xuansu was alone.
When Qi Xuansu arrived at the meeting hall, Cihang's secretary was already waiting here.
Qi Xuansu has met several secretaries, such as Donghua Zhenren’s secretary Gong Jiaojun, Qingwei Zhenren’s secretary Shen Yuqing, and Tianshi’s secretary Tang Jiaohua. These are all men. In fact, high-level secretaries have always been
It is dominated by men, and women are in the minority.
Master Cihang's secretary is a woman named Qian Wan. Strictly speaking, she is the junior sister of Master Cihang and Shi Bingyun, but she is only a few years older than Bai Yingqiong. In fact, she is nearly two years behind the two senior sisters.
Ten years old. Just like the relationship between Bai Yingqiong and Xiao Yueru, they are said to be disciples of the same generation, but one is at the beginning and the other at the end. The biggest difference can be twenty-four years.
Because Qi Xuansu was both an old man from Tiangang Hall and the prospective son-in-law of Master Cihang, this beautiful woman had a brief chat with Qi Xuansu, and then Qi Xuansu realized that this meeting was actually related to Westerners.
Qi Xuansu entered the auditorium, and there were already many people sitting inside. They all looked familiar. They had met him at the reception banquet, but they couldn't recognize their names. However, they were all familiar with Qi Xuansu and took the initiative to greet him. Qi Xuansu could only respond passively.
After Qi Xuansu sat down, it was Xiao Yueru who took the initiative to make tea for Qi Xuansu and jokingly called him "brother-in-law."
Qi Xuansu was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say. Fortunately, this was a formal occasion, so Xiao Yueru didn't stay much and left quickly.
About a stick of incense later, everyone arrived. Master Cihang and several other masters in charge came in without too much politeness. After sitting down, Master Cihang announced that the discussion would begin.
Master Cihang looked around, "This is a special meeting. It's getting late. We won't engage in formalities and get straight to the point. But before we officially start the meeting, I would like to emphasize a few internal disciplinary rules. First, there will be no written documents for this meeting.
Record, everyone should remember it carefully. Secondly, the content of the discussion is not allowed to be communicated or disclosed to other unrelated persons. If a leak occurs, whoever leaks it will bear direct responsibility. Thirdly, when it is implemented in the future, it is not allowed to be expanded and can only be carried out in secret.
Same as Article 2, whoever violates it shall bear direct responsibility.”
