Chapter 47 People Are Sick

Qi Xuansu asked the Lord of Dayu to have a good rest and called Chen Jianqiu to the side.

Chen Jianqiu is not afraid of Qi Xuansu, not because she is Princess Furui officially canonized by the Daxuan court, but precisely because of her other identity. In a sense, she is Zhang Yuelu's person.

Needless to say, there is no need to elaborate on the relationship between Zhang Yuelu and Qi Xuansu. In the past, some people still had doubts. However, as the two were promoted to the second deputy palace master, such doubts have disappeared - the two are a match made in heaven, and it is their turn. You, a monster, come to object?

After all, looking at the Taoist sect, there are only a few people with the same status and the right age. Yao Pei is still a woman. The Zhang family and the Li family have been enemies for many years. When Xuansheng destroyed Yunjin Mountain, the Zhang family was not Dare to be remembered on Xuansheng's head, but also on the Li family's head. Zhang Yuelu cannot be made the Li family's daughter-in-law, or Li Changge can be the Zhang family's son-in-law. Naturally, it can only be Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu really didn't want to do anything to Chen Jianqiu, but just said: "Don't use those unflattering methods against Chen Jianqiu in the future."

"Yes, I would like to comply with the order of the second chair." Chen Jianqiu respectfully agreed and defended himself, "I had just met him at that time, and I didn't know whether he was good or bad, so I had to add some insurance measures. Now that I know him The person who is the second seat will naturally not use such methods again."

Qi Xuansu turned to the topic: "Where is the eunuch Si Kongguang?"

"Run away." Chen Jianqiu replied, "He ran away the night of the accident, or he may have hid it. After all, Shenglong Mansion is quite big. If there are others to help him, it would be okay to hide it so that no one can find it. What a difficult thing.”

Qi Xuansu did not ask who this "other person" was, but asked: "What do you think of the king's illness? I want to listen to the truth."

Chen Jianqiu thought for a moment and said: "Regarding this matter, I want to know what happened that night. Only then can I make a judgment."

Qi Xuansu already understood the cause and effect of this matter, but outsiders could only speculate.

Qi Xuansu hesitated slightly and roughly told what happened.

After hearing this, Chen Jianqiu said: "That's right. I still know a thing or two about the divine descending vessel. It is true that the seven eunuchs possess dragon energy, but these dragon energy can at most create one divine descending container, and the other How did a container come from? I suspect that the dragon energy that made the Blood-Clothed Bodhisattva container was extracted from my father, so my father dreamed of the Blood-Clothed Bodhisattva. The dragon energy of the seven eunuchs actually made the container of the White-Clothed Buddha. ”

Qi Xuansu thought for a while and asked: "Can the king himself use dragon energy? I remember that he shouldn't, right? There has been no such emperor in the past dynasties, including the current Ziji Zhenren."

Chen Jianqiu replied: "The king himself cannot control the dragon energy like the hermaphrodites, cannot use the dragon energy for his own use, nor can he use the dragon energy to extend his life. However, with the addition of dragon energy, he can avoid means such as Nightmare Town. The king can be regarded as the carrier of dragon energy."

Qi Xuansu asked again: "Hermaphrodites can use dragon energy to extend their lifespan and enhance themselves, so it makes sense that the seven eunuchs were like mummies after their dragon energy was drained. Since the dragon energy cannot be extended to the king, Life span, dragon energy only exists in the form of blessing and attachment, just like something outside the body, so why does extracting dragon energy make the king who is a heavenly person age so much? "

Chen Jianqiu was immediately speechless.

Qi Xuansu said: "You, like Chen Jianchou, think about it carefully and see where you made any omissions."

Chen Jianqiu had no choice but to say: "The second seat is still very good. He could see the problem at a glance. It was my negligence. I will think about it again after I go back."

While the two were talking, Lu Yuting came over.

Qi Xuansu asked: "Is the inspection finished?"

Lu Yuting nodded and said: "After the examination is completed, the medical record will be available tomorrow."

The Taoist priests at Huasheng Hall are not very advanced. The reason why they can check their condition and injuries is because they have to use some special artifacts from Huasheng Hall. These are all products of the creation project.

In fact, this is also the fundamental difference between the Taoist sect and the Holy Court. Both parties pay attention to the sense of ritual on the surface, but the Taoist sect cares about majesty, while the Holy Court pays more attention to the sense of mystery. In essence, there is a fundamental difference in ideology between the two sides. The Taoist sect respects the Taoist ancestors, but does not regard the Taoist ancestors as omnipotent gods. The lofty status of the Taoist ancestors comes more from the identity of the founder of the Taoist sect.

In fact, since Xuansheng rebuilt the Taoist sect, the Taoist sect prefers to summarize the rules, deconstruct various mysticisms, and explore the truth, such as the so-called existence of gods, the so-called things that cannot be looked directly at, cannot be described, and cannot be blasphemed. In the eyes of the Taoist sect, to put it bluntly, The only thing is that the power gap between the two sides is too great. Mortals cannot bear the leakage of "god's" power. It has nothing to do with original sin and redemption.

It’s just that some people are afraid of God’s power and begin to worship God, offer sacrifices to God, and pray to God, hoping to receive forgiveness or even salvation.

Taoism believes that whether gods or immortals have different powers and different forms of existence, there is no fundamental difference in the way of thinking. They can still communicate and communicate. The so-called oracles say some specious words just because the gods see them. What's more, there is also an element of pretense, unlike humans and beasts and vegetation, which are completely unable to communicate, so they are still humans in essence, the primates of all things.

Therefore, Taoism believes that what people should do is not to worship gods and pray to gods, but to become gods, which is the core of Taoism - seeking immortality.

It's not about worshiping Taoist ancestors, but about seeking immortality.

Since we want to achieve immortality, we must have a set of theories. We must understand the essence of immortality, the principles, and how to achieve immortality.

In the process of seeking immortality, the mysterious color shrouded in the gods gradually faded.

Deconstructing the mystery also dispels the terror and sacredness of the gods, which will greatly shake the rule of the Holy Court.

The opposition between the Holy Court and the Taoist sect can be imagined.

Qi Xuansu said: "After the medical records come out, send them to me as soon as possible."

"Yes." Lu Yuting replied.

After Qi Xuansu left the palace, he asked the people of Huashengtang to go back first. He wore casual clothes today and walked on the streets of Shenglong Mansion with only Ke Qingqing and Chen Jianchou.

Chen Jianchou grew up in Shenglong Mansion since he was a child and was very familiar with it, so Qi Xuansu let him lead the way.

Speaking of which, he hasn't gotten better in Shenglong Mansion yet, and he is not familiar with the local customs and people here. He wants to take this opportunity to see Shenglong Mansion.

Because it was almost noon, Chen Jianchou carefully selected a good restaurant. The rice wine here is very good, and many dignitaries like it very much.

It must be said that the business here is good. They came at an unlucky time. The private rooms were all booked out, leaving only seats in the lobby. Chen Jianchou wanted to talk to the shopkeeper, but Qi Xuansu waved his hand and said, "This place is good. Don't think that Taoist priests are so precious. When they went to the Western Regions, they also ate dry food in the snow."

The three of them sat down in the lobby of the inn and ordered a pot of the most famous rice wine here, as well as some side dishes. Chen Jianchou personally held the pot and poured it for Qi Xuansu first, then for Ke Qingqing, and finally for himself.

Qi Xuansu took a sip and said, "Not bad. Qingqing, when you go to Lingnan, you can bring some to Master Zhang. She likes to drink, let her try it too. If she doesn't accept it, just say I asked you to send it."

Ke Qingqing smiled and agreed.

She knew that Qi Cixi was helping her. She could quickly narrow the distance between her and Zhang Cixi by doing what she liked. With Qi Cixi's face, no matter how honest or unkind Zhang Cixi was, he would have to accept it.

Seriously speaking, only Qi Cixi had such a big face.

Qi Xuansu said again: "You should follow Master Zhang to work, don't be afraid, everything should be the same. Seriously speaking, I also worked as her secretary for a few days back then, so let's just call her a secretary. Anyway, she is my boss, and she is not as difficult to get along with as outsiders say. As long as you do your job well, she won't find fault with you. Of course, if you go against her, she won't indulge you. Lao Xu is an example. We still laugh at him for this matter."

Ke Qingqing asked boldly: "Second Master, Master Zhang is your boss, so how did you get along with her..."

Qi Xuansu smiled and said: "There is nothing that can't be said, and it's not that mysterious. The key is Three words, sharing joys and sorrows, or sharing hardships. Over time, it became a natural thing. As for the Zhang family, the old man is very open-minded. If he doesn't object, it's useless for others to object, so there are not many dramas such as looking down on others and being a son-in-law, and there are not many twists and turns. "

Chen Jianchou just listened quietly, and admired Qi Cixi a little. That was the famous Zhang Yuelu. Even if he was in Nanyang, he had heard of her name. His stepmother often mentioned her. It is said that the son of Wang Zhangfu admired this noble lady of the Zhang family very much, and a son of the Li family also pursued her. They were all invaluable people, but they were all rejected by Zhang Cixi mercilessly. In the end, Qi Cixi and Zhang Cixi decided to get married, and the Heavenly Master didn't object, which just shows how powerful Qi Cixi was.

Of course, these two people can't compare with Qi Cixi. In addition to the family's remaining shadow, they don't have any formal job errands. On the other hand, Qi Cixi is already the second deputy palace master. This is a Taoist handsome man who is expected to compete for the position of the eighth generation of the Grand Master. If he were in Zhang Cixi's position, he would also choose Qi Cixi.

Ke Qingqing sighed: "It would be great if I could find a Taoist partner like Qi Cixi like Zhang Cixi did."

Qi Xuansu said: "Someone once said that if you want to be the wife of the Grand Master, you should first be the Taoist partner of a seventh-rank Taoist priest and accompany him from the bottom to the top step by step. The wife of the fifth-generation Grand Master met the fifth-generation Grand Master when they were in humble circumstances. When they became Taoist partners, the fifth-generation Grand Master was just a deacon. The two supported each other and went through thick and thin together, and finally entered the Purple Sky Palace. In fact, I was marrying up to Master Zhang, so some people said that I was a son-in-law, but I never cared. But it was also a coincidence that when Master Zhang met me, I was at my lowest point, and I was also a seventh-rank Taoist priest. She didn't dislike me, so I naturally wouldn't let her down."

Ke Qingqing couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Zhang Cixi really had a discerning eye. How could she tell at a glance that Qi Cixi would not be an ordinary person in the future?

While the three of them were chatting, there was a sudden noise from the second floor, and then a figure was seen rolling down the stairs.

Qi Xuansu put down his wine glass and turned to look.

He saw a young man in luxurious clothes standing up with the handrail of the stairs, patting the dust off his body, with no anger on his face, but a cynical smile, and said "OK" to the upstairs.
