Chapter 50: Vice Chairman Zhang

Speaking of which, Qi Xuansu was familiar with handling such matters. When he was in the Imperial Capital, he could not directly touch Weng, so he started with Mr. Gao, who was under Weng. When he was in the Jiangnan Prefecture, he and Zhang Yuelu could not touch the people in the Prefecture, so they started with the Beggars' Gang. This is called the entry point.

So when Qi Xuansu left the restaurant, his mood was not so bad.

He was just worried about where to start, and this Mr. Sun came to his door.

As for Huang Zhushi, Qi Xuansu was not surprised. The previous deputy chief of the palace was controlled by others, and the chiefs under him naturally followed the wind. What's more, Huang Zhushi was not one of the nine direct chiefs under the deputy chief of the palace, otherwise he would not have met Qi Xuansu.

In addition, Qi Xuansu brought back Tian Zhushi from Bai Nang Ben Prefecture. The two chiefs were in his hands, which was enough to do something. In a small way, it could be used to establish prestige, and in a big way, it could take this opportunity to dig deeper.

However, after such an incident, Qi Xuansu was not in the mood to walk around the city anymore.

He planned to go to the Nether Prison. There could be no more mistakes in this place to prevent the emergence of a second Qian Xiangyun.

Speaking of Qian Xiangyun, this was Zhang Yuelu's business. It was said that Qian Xiangyun and Wen Weng had fled to the Lingnan area. Although this area was not as chaotic as Nanyang, it encompassed the vast South China Sea and was adjacent to Nanyang, making it convenient for hiding.

Seriously speaking, the chaotic Nanyang was more suitable for hiding. However, Lin Lingsu left a Tongzhen Palace in Lingnan, and Qian Xiangyun came for this Tongzhen Palace.

The legacy of an immortal was still very tempting. Without the identity of a Taoist sect, the hope for the rest of his life would fall on the Tongzhen Palace.

Now Zhang Yuelu has taken office and become the second deputy lord of the Lingnan Daofu. Her environment is much better than Qi Xuansu's. To the north of Lingnan is Wuzhou, where the Great Immortal Palace is located. Most of the Lingnan Daofu are Zhengyi Dao. Whether they are from the Zhang family or the Cihang lineage, they have to give Zhang Yuelu face.

Until this time, Zhang Yuelu has enjoyed the treatment of Li Changge and Yao Pei.

When Qi Xuansu took office, he only brought three people, namely Ke Qingqing, Han Yongfeng, and Lu Yuting.

Zhang Yuelu didn't bring many people. Mu Jin went to Jiangnan Daofu and only brought Tian Baobao and Xu Kou, which is equivalent to Lu Yuting and Han Yongfeng on Qi Xuansu's side. They are both a man and a woman. It is not tiring to work with men and women, but also highlights the equality of Taoism. Many Taoist couples are formed in this way. They work together under the same boss. Over time, they come together.

As for why Xu Kou was chosen, the reason is very simple. Although this person is a thorn, he has many problems, but he is very capable and is more willing to work than old oils like Sun Yongfeng. Zhang Yuelu also had a heavy task this time. In addition to implementing the arrangements for the joint meeting and assisting Qi Xuansu, he was also responsible for the pursuit of Qian Xiangyun. He needed people who were willing to work, not those who just wanted to get by.

The secretary position was temporarily vacant and was left to Ke Qingqing.

In addition, Zhang Yuelu also brought Xiao Yin and Lin Yuanmiao.

Zhang Yuelu used the Zhang family resources at hand to help Lin Yuanmiao recover his realm of the creation stage. Not to mention other things, with the strength of the Taoist sect, even if Lin Lingsu was resurrected, he could suppress it, not to mention Lin Yuanmiao. There was no need to worry about Lin Yuanmiao doing anything wrong, and Lin Yuanmiao was the key to finding Tongzhen Palace.

As for Xiao Yin, it was not Zhang Yuelu who took the initiative to ask for it, but Xiao Yin followed him shamelessly. After the little girl ate the dragon meat, she not only successfully advanced to the Wuliang stage, but also was able to move freely. She was no longer confined to the place filled with yin energy, just like ordinary people. Naturally, she was unwilling to return to the ghost country and cave heaven. She actually relied on the certificate given by Qingwei Zhenren to "smuggle" to Yujing. She only knew two people, one was Qi Xuansu and the other was Zhang Yuelu. When she arrived in Yujing, Qi Xuansu had already left Yujing to take up his post in Borneo, so she had to settle for the next best thing and go find Zhang Yuelu.

Although Yujing is very large, Zhang Yuelu's reputation is even greater. It is still easy to find Zhang Yuelu. Xiao Yin took her fourth-grade Taoist priest certificate and went directly to Xuandu. Then she asked a few people at random. Seeing that this girl was a fourth-grade Taoist priest at a young age, others naturally did not dare to neglect her. When they heard that she was looking for Zhang Yuelu, they treated her more seriously and took her directly to see Zhang Yuelu.

After seeing Zhang Yuelu, Xiao Yin decided to stay with Zhang Yuelu, and acted like a spoiled child, making up all kinds of excuses. The world is so big, she wants to go and see it, Lao Lin is so good, she can't leave him, anyway, she won't go back to the Ghost Kingdom Cave Heaven.

Zhang Yuelu had no choice but to take Xiao Yin in and let her stay with her.

In addition, Zhang Yuelu also had other considerations. Xiao Yin was too special. After eating a lot in Fenglinzhou, she was promoted to a higher level. It was easier to improve her cultivation than Qi Xuansu, the exiled immortal. Moreover, she was not like an ordinary Yin object. Compared with the three Yin objects, she was more like a living person, mysterious and unpredictable, and could not be underestimated. Keeping her by her side was a help.

In this way, although Zhang Yuelu had one less secretary, he brought more people than Qi Xuansu. Many people didn't know the inside story and only thought that Xiao Yin was Zhang Yuelu's secretary. They were also surprised that such a small secretary, was she taking care of the second deputy palace master, or was the second deputy palace master taking care of her?

After Zhang Yuelu arrived at Lingnan Daofu, there was no big movement like Qi Xuansu. After all, Jinque had no intention of moving Lingnan Daofu, so many people thought that Zhang Yuelu came here to gild himself and become the deputy lord of Taiping.

After the usual welcoming banquet, Zhang Yuelu also began to tour the entire Daofu.

Coincidentally with Qi Xuansu, Zhang Yuelu did not choose the established route, and was even more radical than Qi Xuansu. She chose Dongdu Prefecture as her first stop.

As early as in ancient times, Dongdu Prefecture was part of the Central Plains. Later, part of the land sank, seawater entered, forming a strait, and Dongdu Prefecture became an island.

To go to Dongdu Prefecture, you naturally have to go to sea.

According to Lin Yuanmiao, Tongzhen Palace is somewhere on the sea. Lin Lingsu got inspiration from the Dragon Palace on the sea of ​​the Queen of Heaven, so it was also built on the sea. In this way, in the vast sea, whether it is Qian Xiangyun or Zhang Yuelu, the difficulty of finding Tongzhen Palace has greatly increased.

However, the two have different purposes. Zhang Yuelu is not very interested in the so-called immortal relics. She just wants to use Tongzhen Palace as an opportunity to arrest Qian Xiangyun.

Seriously speaking, Lingnan, Dongdu Prefecture, Qionghua Prefecture, Nanhai and other places are the core areas of the Queen of Heaven belief, where the Queen of Heaven's temple is located. Nanyang is a relatively marginal area. After all, the Queen of Heaven's main activity area before becoming a god was the coastal area of ​​Lingnan. The Lin family is also a prominent family in Lingnan.

In other words, when the storm appears, Lingnan can also enter the Dragon Palace on the sea. Lingnan Daofu and Borneo Daofu should be the two major Daofu that attach the most importance to the Queen of Heaven. Every year, they have to go to the temple of the Queen of Heaven to burn incense.

Whether in terms of faith or geography, Lingnan and Nanyang are closely related and closely connected. Jinque arranged Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu in these two places respectively, with far-reaching intentions.

Going north from Lingnan, it is Jiangnan Daofu. Both are within the scope of Nanhai. Today, Jiangnan Daofu has undergone a major change. The real person in charge of the mansion is Zhang Jucheng, and the chief deputy mansion master is Lei Xiaohuan, which connects everything.

The flying boat is flying at a low altitude and crossing the strait.

Zhang Yuelu stood on the deck of the flying boat, leaning on the railing to overlook the sea below.

Xiao Yin was right beside Zhang Yuelu, not even as tall as the railing, holding the railing tightly with both hands, his two short legs hanging off the ground, sticking his head out, looking at the sea constantly.

She had heard a long time ago that there were too many things to eat in the sea, and unlike on land, the monsters on land now either surrendered to the Taoist sect or were slaughtered by the Taoist sect. But the sea was different. The seabed was not under the control of the Taoist sect, but of the Queen of Heaven. The Queen of Heaven was no longer in the world, so there were still many big monsters living in the sea. If you catch one or two, you don’t need to add seasoning, just eat them alive, which is probably the so-called fresh and fat taste.

Lin Yuanmiao just stood silently not far from the two of them. In the past many years, he has been alone, enduring the loneliness that ordinary people can’t bear, so he has developed the habit of being taciturn, and even often makes people ignore his existence.

There is no first-class spiritual officer in Lingnan Daofu, nor a great master in charge of the palace, so Lin Yuanmiao has assumed the responsibility of Dingchou spiritual officer, that is, to protect the second deputy palace master. However, Lingnan is the core sphere of influence of the Taoist sect. It is not as chaotic as Nanyang, and no one dares to attack Zhang Yuelu.

Zhang Yuelu suddenly said: "Old Lin."

"Miss." Lin Yuanmiao's positioning of herself is very strange, similar to several assistants.

Zhang Yuelu wants to help Lin Yuanmiao restore her realm and cultivation. The Taiping money in her hand is far from enough, and she must use the resources of the Zhang family. Afterwards, Zhang Yuelu always has to give an explanation, but she only needs to report to the Heavenly Master and does not need to pay attention to others, so the Heavenly Master knows the existence of Lin Yuanmiao.

The Heavenly Master talked with Lin Yuanmiao once and gave Lin Yuanmiao enough guarantees. First of all, it should be made clear that Lin Yuanmiao is not Lin Lingsu, the national teacher of Dajin. The two have been completely separated and cut off, and Lin Lingsu is dead, so Lin Yuanmiao cannot be regarded as a senior of the Taoist sect. The Tianshi only regards him as a brand new person, but his special relationship with Lin Lingsu and Qingxu Yuanmiao Zhenjun cannot be ignored, so he is given the corresponding Taoist identity, and special matters are handled specially. Considering that he is expected to live forever in the future, he can be granted the identity of a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest.

It’s just that Lin Yuanmiao’s identity is special. This Taoist identity is actually an empty shell. It is basically impossible to follow the right path and grasp the real power like Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu. This right path depends on the origin. It has nothing to do with the surname. The key is to have a clean background.

For example, Qi Xuansu was born in Wanxiang Taoist Palace, adopted by the Taoist Palace, and grew up in the Taoist Palace. That is the child of the Taoist sect. Why does Sun Hewu like Qi Xuansu? It’s not because of affinity, but because Qi Xuansu is a child from Wanxiang Taoist Palace, a real one of his own. Although there is no family support, it is clean enough, similar to the imperial examination in the Confucian period, and it is still a clean stream. If it is a demon, or born in Fenglinzhou, Borneo, or even a royal family, it will be excluded invisibly. For example, Chen Shuhua, whose future is clear at a glance, has nothing to do with a promising future, just because she is from the royal family of Dayu.

As for Qi Xuansu joining the Qingping Society, it is considered a misguided path, but firstly, few people know about it, and secondly, the Qingping Society itself has a thousand threads of connection with Quanzhen Dao, which can be regarded as a preparation for Qi Xuansu to take over the Qingping Society in the future. If you really want to look into it, does Li Changge have nothing to do with the "Heavenly Court"? No one in the three ways is clean, so no one will delve into it. The key is not to touch the Lingshan Witch Cult and the Zhiming Cult.

Lin Yuanmiao is one of these people who is not clean. No matter how high his realm is, he can't be the head of the house or the head of the hall, but he is more than enough to be an assistant, and he belongs to the name of Shangqing Palace.

Lin Yuanmiao followed the example of Tianshi's secretaries and called Zhang Yuelu "Miss".
