Chapter 55 Meeting

Qi Xuansu's thoughts were in a mess, because he had received a lot of information in a short period of time, and his thoughts were no longer running in a straight line, but jumping from one point to another, and then spreading out.

Previously, he had been thinking that the name "Xuansu" was tailor-made for him, and now he suddenly realized that the surname "Qi" was also tailor-made for him.

He did not follow Qi Niang's surname Yao, but followed Qi Jiaoyao's surname Qi.

Judging from Qi Niang's behavior of sneaking into Lingshan Cave Heaven to cause damage behind the back of the earth master, she and the Yao family were not so harmonious. If the Yao family is the eleven witches, then Qi Niang is Wu Yang who kicked over the fire. Although Wu Yang is among the eleven witches, he is outside the scope of the ten witches of Lingshan.

It is reasonable to have the surname Qi instead of Yao.

Although logically speaking, Qi Xuansu follows his master Qi Haoran's surname Qi, how can there be so many coincidences in the world? This is probably not a coincidence.

Then what role did Master Qi Haoran play in the entire "circle"?

It can't be that the master-disciple relationship is also fake.

This is so sad.

Qi Xuansu put away the fish talisman, took off the crane cloak outside, took off the lotus crown on his head, changed into an ordinary Taoist robe, rubbed his hands on his face, changed his appearance through the ever-changing methods of a warrior, and finally took out a pair of round sunglasses and put them on to cover his eyes.

In a blink of an eye, Qi Xuansu changed from the chief deputy palace master back to an ordinary wandering Taoist priest.

Then Qi Xuansu's figure swept and flew to the flying boat port of Lion City.

Qi Xuansu hasn't bought a ticket to ride a flying boat for a long time. This time is a relive. Although Qi Xuansu has been in Lion City for many years, everyone says that Lion City is the territory of Chief Qi. It was the first time for Qi Xuansu to come to the place where tickets were sold. Everything inside and outside was unfamiliar.

Because flying boats need water vapor, the closer to the inland, the fewer flying boats there are. There is no direct flying boat between states. There are only flying boats to Yujing, or flying boats from Yujing to various places. If you want to go to other states, you need to transfer to Yujing. But the coastal states are different. There is plenty of water vapor, so there are direct flying boats. Qi Xuansu can fly directly from Borneo to Jinling Prefecture.

The ticket price is still the same. No matter how far or near, it is one hundred Taiping coins, which makes most people discouraged. Many people would rather take a boat, although it takes longer, but only costs one percent of the cost.

Although Qi Niang vowed to make Qi Xuansu penniless, it is unrealistic to really do it. It is only one hundred Taiping coins, which Qi Xuansu can still afford.

Qi Xuansu bought a boat ticket from the female Taoist priest and lined up to board the flying boat.

It was still a cramped small room, and a bed took up half of the space, which made Qi Xuansu miss his flying boat that was like a mansion in the sky.

, study, quiet room, bedroom, large and small meeting halls, halls, reception rooms, small living rooms, side halls, large and small restaurants, guest rooms, kitchens, wine cellars, utility rooms, Taoist lounges, everything is available.

It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

In fact, power is the same.

Qi Xuansu also has a deep understanding of this. When Qi Xuansu first came to power, he was still somewhat uncomfortable with others calling him Qi Xixi, Qi Shouzhang, and Qi Zhenren. Now, if someone does not call him these honorifics and calls him by his full name, he will be uncomfortable. When he first came to power, Qi Xuansu was somewhat uncomfortable with the faces that were flattering, respectful and humble. Now, he is uncomfortable with the faces that lack respect. When he first came to power, he was not used to being asked to speak in various ways. He felt that it was tedious and empty. Now, if someone does not let him speak, he is uncomfortable.

These few discomforts are no different from Feizhou.

Qi Xuansu lay on his bed. Because his thoughts were messy and he was not in the mood to practice, he just lay there, thinking about how to speak after seeing Qi Niang.

Why did he go to Qi Niang first instead of the Heavenly Master?

The reason is very simple. The Heavenly Master is not someone he can see whenever he wants. It seems that the Heavenly Master is only one rank higher than Qi Xuansu, but according to the invisible threshold, he is actually five ranks higher, one rank higher than the Chief Deputy Hall Master, one rank higher than the Palace Master, one rank higher than the Palace Master, one rank higher than the Hall Master, one rank higher than the Great Master of Pingzhang, and then the Deputy Great Master of the Sect, so he has to apply in advance, and after the Heavenly Master agrees, he has to wait in line to see him. In the past, it seemed easy for Qi Xuansu to see the Heavenly Master, but that was when the Heavenly Master took the initiative to summon him, not when Qi Xuansu took the initiative to ask to see the Heavenly Master.

It takes less than a day to get from Lion City in Borneo to Jinling Prefecture, and most of the day is enough.

When getting off the flying boat, a young man walking in front of Qi Xuansu stretched his waist and shouted, "Jinling, I'm here!"

Then he said something like he was going to conquer a big country in Jinling Prefecture.

Qi Xuansu just smiled.

Everyone has a dream of being an emperor, but it's a pity that the era of emperors has passed, and now is not a chaotic world, so where can there be a country?

At least Qi Xuansu didn't think Borneo was his own kingdom. The last person who thought so, Wang Jiaohe, had gone to the Ghost Kingdom Cave to accompany the three evil creatures.

The era when young people should be crazy, energetic, bold, free-spirited, and hardworking has passed.

Now is an era of decadence, numbness, and despair.

If you miss the window of change, you can never go back.

Without Qi Niang, how can Qi Xuansu make a name for himself? Is this world for everyone?

Qi Xuansu got off the flying boat in a very low-key manner. When he and Zhang Yuelu investigated cases in Jinling Prefecture, they traveled a lot and were familiar with this place. He was ready to go straight to the Da Baoen Temple.

Although this was the territory of Zhang Jucheng and Lei Xiaohuan, Qi Xuansu had no intention of disturbing these two people. He came here only for private matters, not official business.

Dabaoen Temple is quite a legendary place and has been on the stage of the debate between Confucianism and Taoism several times. ??

Dabaoen Temple was originally one of the three major Buddhist temples in Jinling Prefecture. Among them is a glazed pagoda, nearly 100 feet high and made of colored glaze. It is called the best pagoda in the world. Today, there are more than 6,000 volumes of Buddhist scriptures in the Dabaoen Temple, and there are Buddha bones in the glazed pagoda. Therefore, monks from various sects gathered here. In addition, there were many scholars and scholars who also liked to sit here and discuss Taoism. Zen Master Hu, one of the Seven Hermits of Confucianism, also lived in seclusion here. Later, he was executed by Zhang Zu in Dabaoen Temple. This was the first time.

The second time was when the "remnants of the previous dynasty" within the Confucian sect targeted the Eastern Emperor. Later, the Taoist sect dispatched high-end combat forces such as high-grade spiritual officers and the three major demons to suppress and hunt down the participants, and Xiao Yin was able to "unconstrainedly" in vain. Donghuang met Xuansheng after encountering the incident at Da Baoen Temple. Xuansheng rebuked Donghuang for relying on his brother's relatives, receiving the weight of the feudal territory, relying on power to cultivate, without any scruples, using swords and swords on himself without being afraid of himself, being arrogant, and not listening to others. Words of admonition, being arbitrary and arbitrary, being alone and taking risks will lead to today's disaster.

But that's all gone. Today's Dabaoen Temple is just an ordinary temple.

Qi Xuansu came to the entrance of Dabaoen Temple. Just as he was about to go inside, he was stopped by a monk and told that he had to donate some sesame oil money.

In fact, just buy a ticket.

Qi Xuansu had to spend five peace coins to buy a stick of incense before he could enter.

This is five peace coins, and ordinary people cannot afford it.

After finally arriving at Dabaoen Temple, Qi Xuansu contacted Qiniang again, but it was just a message: "I'm here, where are you?"

"Liu Tile Pagoda." Qiniang's words were concise and to the point.

Qi Xuansu ended the call and walked all the way to the depths of the temple, crossed the Perfume River, and saw the Glazed Pagoda.

Qiniang is on the highest floor of Liuli Pagoda.

Qi Xuansu stopped pretending at this time and simply jumped up and came to Qiniang's side.

Qi Qiniang stood with her hands behind her hands and looked at him, "You're here."

Qi Xuansu hesitated for a moment, "I...shouldn't I come?"

Qiniang

She rolled her eyes at him, "Have you read too many words? I'm just being polite to you."

"When will you ever be polite to me? This is not like you." Qi Xuansu smiled.

Qiniang turned to lean against the window edge and looked at Qi Xuansu, "It's different."

"Why is it different? Apart from the pure love between mother and son, do we have some other feelings? That's why you hate Zhang Qingxiao? This is so cliché, so cliché that I wouldn't even want to write it in a storybook." Qi Xuansu also leaned against the window edge.

"Fuck you, you're talking nonsense." Qiniang is not a little girl, and she doesn't have the slightest emotion of shame. "If I were young back then, I might have some ideas. It's a pity that Qi Xuansu died back then, and the time we got together was too short. It was a bit The idea was in vain. When I met you again later, I was already over fifty years old, and you were just a little kid who didn't understand anything. You were almost scared to cry when you saw an inn. Compared with the calm Qi Xuansu back then? He is really a son."

"If you ask me, your dead person filter is a bit serious. I couldn't say that I was calm at all times. I was mainly confident." Qi Xuansu didn't mind making trouble for himself at all.

Qiniang looked at Qi Xuansu, "Actually, it's been so long, I can't remember many specific details. I only remember your last words, 'Next time, come back next time.' Maybe you are right, my dead man The filter is a bit serious, and a living person can never compare with a dead person. Because Qi Xuansu died back then, so over the years, I gradually built up a perfect image of him. "

Qi Xuansu said, "Actually, it's all like this. Take my master as an example. In the past, he has always been perfect in my mind, not stained by any dust, just like a holy statue. But after experiencing some things, I look back. , Master is of course good, but the halo and filter I put on him are a bit too heavy, and many things cannot withstand careful consideration or scrutiny. He... Hi! I won’t say anything anymore.”

"Say, why don't you say it? I still want to hear it." Qiniang gradually returned to her past state, "Do you want to ask, what is my relationship with your master?"

Qi Xuansu didn't say anything.

is the default.

Qiniang's eyes were slightly lowered, and she was playing with the purse hanging on the cigarette stick at her waist. "If I said it doesn't matter and I never knew him, you probably wouldn't believe it."

Qi Xuansu said, "So, we know each other."

"I didn't tell you." Qiniang tightened her purse, "There are some things, not that I don't want to tell you, but that I can't tell you. They say that people can't help themselves in the world, and they can't help themselves in the temple. I can't help it. Wandering between temples and rivers and lakes, it’s never about doing whatever you want.”
