Chapter 4 One Night Certainty
Qi Xuansu knew that the Heavenly Master had already helped Tianda greatly, but he still asked a little greedily: "Why is this just one chance?"
Zhang Yuelu rolled his eyes at him: "Just be content. This kind of fairy is like the 'Five Innate Masters', and there are intervals between each use. The 'Guizang Lamp' is used once every sixty years, and the 'Three Treasures of Good Luck' seems to be used every hundred years." Used once."
Qi Xuansu was surprised again: "You can only use it once every sixty years. This is really a huge favor."
Then Qi Xuansu hesitated for a moment and asked softly: "The Heavenly Master is helping me like this. Isn't it just for your sake? What's the price?"
Zhang Yuelu did not avoid this point and sighed: "Then only the Heavenly Master knows."
Qi Xuansu also sighed.
No matter what the conditions were, Qi Xuansu was unable to resist when the Heavenly Master wanted to take away the reward he deserved.
Only three divisions can fight against three divisions.
When the Earth Master wants to collect the debt, Qi Xuansu can only turn to the Heavenly Master, but when the Heavenly Master collects the debt, who can he turn to? He can't be a national master.
Then let the Earth Master deal with the National Master.
This became a trick of repaying debts with debts. If he really had such great ability to manipulate the three divisions, then he would not have to explore the Lingshan cave and just replace the three deputy headmasters. Isn't it better? Let Zhang Yuelu be the Heavenly Master and Qiniang be the Earth Master.
But having come this far, there was no turning back when he fired his bow. Qi Xuansu no longer hesitated and reached out to hold the "Guizang Lamp".
For a moment, Qi Xuansu felt countless lights and shadows passing before his eyes, everything became hazy, and he was in a trance for a moment.
Zhang Yuelu's voice seemed to come from a far away place, and seemed to slow down several times, vague and slow: "You... must... remember... remember, the... extreme meaning of 'return... hide... the lamp'" ...Limited to...one...month..."
Qi Xuansu suddenly came back to his senses.
Everything is back to normal again.
Zhang Yuelu still spoke at a normal speed: "This month can be turned into 300 days, which is almost a year. It is enough for you to explore the Lingshan cave."
Qi Xuansu was speechless and said: "What a powerful fairy, worthy of being the first of the 'Three Lanterns'."
Then Qi Xuansu said again: "In one month, I announced to the outside world that I would be in seclusion. It shouldn't be a big problem. After all, there are the real master and the real master above. As long as there is no second Chen Shuhua, I won't be forced to go out." It can’t be shut down.”
Zhang Yuelu nodded and said: "You just need to know the specific time yourself. Also, be sure to pay attention to safety and don't take risks. Big things will happen in the future. If it's gone now, then there's no point talking about the future."
Qi Xuansu responded while putting the "Gui Zang Lamp" into the special sumeru object given by Master Jiang Dazhen, and then changed the topic: "How many days do you plan to stay when you come here this time?"
Zhang Yuelu said: "I can't stay for more than one day. I can stay for one night at most, and then I have to rush back to Lingnan tomorrow."
Qi Xuansu didn't speak, just looked at Zhang Yuelu to express his dissatisfaction.
Zhang Yuelu could only soften his tone: "There is no way, there are too many things. Recently, you have negotiated several big business deals, asking us to help renovate ironclad ships. Some people saw the profit, so they made a fuss about it. Not only the big business This is a critical time, and I, the second deputy palace master in charge of law, cannot get away from it. If the "Gui Zang Lan" is not too important, I must personally do it. I’ll hand it over to you, and I’ll make it clear to you that I want Lao Lin to deliver it to you.”
Qi Xuansu knew that Zhang Yuelu was telling the truth. In front of Zhang Yuelu, he no longer concealed his emotions and sighed with disappointment: "Well, business matters come before private matters."
Zhang Yuelu suggested: "The moonlight tonight is pretty good, let's go for a walk?"
Qi Xuansu thought for a while: "That's fine, but there are refugees from Xibo Suazhou outside. Let's go around from the Nanting Protector's Mansion."
Zhang Yuelu had no objection.
The two left Tianfu Palace without Xiao Yin - this was their alone time.
Xiao Yin was afraid that Zhang Yuelu would remember the inspection, so naturally he would not hang around in front of the two of them, and had already followed Xie Jiaofeng to the dinner party. After all, he is a serious third-grade Youyi Taoist priest, and he is qualified to attend a dinner party. To put it bluntly, you should feel honored to have Mr. Xiao Yin attend the dinner party - no matter whether others think so, Xiao Yin thinks so anyway. .
Today's Xiao Yin is not quite like Qi Xuansu or Zhang Yuelu, but a bit like Qiniang. She likes Taiping money. She usually wears the sunglasses Qiniang gave her and the writing brush given by Mr. Yin on her waist. Walking sideways, he looks like the tyrant of Tian Hock Palace.
Back to Qi Xuansu, after the two left Tianfu Palace, they went all the way to the seaside.
The sea at night had a unique charm. The two of them walked side by side on the white beach, with a bright moon above their heads and the sound of waves in their ears.
The moonlight shines on the sea, and the waves are sparkling. Countless seawater is rippling, coming and going, and the seawater hits the rocks and breaks into white flowers.
The salty and wet sea breeze blew Zhang Yuelu's loose hair onto Qi Xuansu's face.
Qi Xuansu didn't fiddle with it and said, "Time is like running water. In ten years, I will be able to grow a beard and call myself an old man."
Zhang Yuelu smiled and said: "Seventy years are rare in life. That is the rule of ordinary people. If you are in a Taoist sect, you cannot call yourself me old man until you are at least sixty years old."
Qi Xuansu said: "If this were an ordinary family, we would have been married long ago. Not to mention children, we would have grandchildren soon."
Zhang Yuelu is not Qin Su, so of course she is not shy. She said openly: "Then you have to get married and have children at the age of fourteen. If I remember correctly, you were still studying in the Wanxiang Taoist Palace when you were fourteen, right?"
Qi Xuansu joked: "That's right. When I was fourteen, I was penniless, and when you were fourteen, you had already worshipped Master Cihang as your teacher. This is really a world of difference. I am a toad wanting to eat swan meat."
"I don't mean that." Zhang Yuelu was afraid that Qi Xuansu was holding back something bad, so she cleared herself first.
Qi Xuansu said: "I'm not trying to point a finger at you. I mean, there are benefits to being late. If it wasn't a little late, I wouldn't have met you."
Zhang Yuelu didn't say anything, and reached out to lift her hair that was messed up by the sea breeze.
The two enjoyed the rare time together.
The two walked silently, hand in hand, leaving a trail of footprints on the beach.
The next morning, Qi Xuansu came to see Zhang Yuelu again.
The relationship between the two was already known to everyone, and even the way they got along was somewhat similar to that of an old married couple, so no one found it strange, and no one would have any objections.
As Qi Xuansu said, if the two were not separated, they would have been married long ago.
When Qi Xuansu entered Zhang Yuelu's bedroom, Zhang Yuelu was sitting in front of the dressing table combing her hair - this was where Xie Jiaofeng would come to trouble. As early as when Zhang Yuelu first came to Tianfu Palace, he had prepared a room specifically for Zhang Yuelu, and it had never been cancelled. If Zhang Yuelu was not there, it would be closed, but someone would clean it on time.
Zhang Yuelu's expression was natural. She saw Qi Xuansu behind her through the mirror, and she still slowly straightened her hair, then rolled it up, and finally put on the lotus crown.
Qi Xuansu did not speak, but just watched Zhang Yuelu's movements quietly, and stared at her face through the mirror.
After Zhang Yuelu had fixed her appearance, she said, "I've asked Ke Qingqing to prepare the flying boat. We'll leave soon."
"So urgent? We can leave in the afternoon." Qi Xuansu put his hands on Zhang Yuelu's shoulders, leaning forward slightly, as if he was resting his chin on Zhang Yuelu's head.
"The Dao Mansion is so big that it can still operate normally without anyone. But this case is not possible. There are many obstacles from the top leaders of the Dao Mansion. If I don't force it, it will easily end in vain. They have never had the opportunity to make small moves. My departure is their opportunity. If I stay one more day, there will be one more variable." Zhang Yuelu did not reject Qi Xuansu's intimate move.
Qi Xuansu sighed and said, "Okay, you are always right."
Zhang Yuelu changed the subject and finally remembered Xiao Yin's existence: "By the way, I haven't checked Xiao Yin's homework yet. Has she studied hard recently? If you don't study, you can't understand the truth. If you don't understand the truth, you will always be a child."
Qi Xuansu said, "In fact, it's not bad to be a child all the time. People can't be young again. If we are still young, what will it be like?"
Zhang Yuelu smiled at the mirror: "Will you drink together? Go to class together, study together?"
Qi Xuansu smiled and said, "We will also play Xuansheng cards together."
Zhang Yuelu concluded, "Playing Xuansheng cards while drinking."
Qi Xuansu said, "This is not like a good child."
"You don't know how our reputation is in the Taoist sect, right? We have killed so many people, punished so many people, and punished so many people. Do you still want to be a good child? It's a matter for the next life." Zhang Yuelu laughed again.
In this short night of reunion, Zhang Yuelu laughed more than in the past year.
Of course, apart from the hypocritical and polite smile, Qi Xuansu is also.
"Now is the fantasy time." Qi Xuansu spoke in a Western accent, "Since it is a fantasy, it must be bold and outrageous."
Zhang Yuelu prepared to get up.
Qi Xuansu retracted his hands and stood up: "Since you want to leave, then I will send you off."
The two walked out of the room. Today was a rare good weather. The sun seemed to shine through the leaves. There was a fresh breath everywhere, which made people dispel the haze in their hearts. If the two were not too busy, this kind of weather would be very suitable for the two to go out and play together. There was no need to care about the destination. Wherever you go is where you go.
It's a pity that it doesn't belong to them.
Soon, the two came to the gangway of the flying boat.
Qi Xuansu seemed to want to learn from the Westerners today, and took the initiative to open his hands: "Do you want to have a Western etiquette?"
Zhang Yuelu did not refuse, and also opened his hands and hugged Qi Xuansu deeply.
She whispered in Qi Xuansu's ear: "Promise me that you must come back safely from Lingshan Dongtian. I'm waiting to share your secret."
Qi Xuansu answered with two words: "Definitely."
