Chapter 186: The Road in the World Is Not Smooth
Qi Xuansu's words still had a great impact.
Even a bit of a counter-attack.
Regardless of whether he is right or wrong, I have to admit that Qi Xuansu has a great pattern, great courage, and a very high position.
If it were the Grand Master who said this, it would be almost certain. It's a pity that Qi Xuansu is not the head master yet, so he can't be sure yet. He can only change the direction of the trend to a certain extent.
There was a moment of silence in the entire venue.
Then the sound of applause broke the silence.
It was Master Jiang Daren, the leader of the Grand Master lineage second only to the Third Division, who chose to express his attitude by applauding.
Applause, also called applause, generally expresses joy.
Master Jiang Da put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "It's like 'hundreds of rivers enter the sea, and different paths lead to the same destination.' When Xuan Sheng chose to let Xidaomen go westward, he thought the same way. If Xidaomen wants to go far away, let it go. It's going to rain. Mother wants to go." Marry, let it go, because it will eventually come back and flow back into the same sea."
These words were not said in vain. Master Jiang Dazhen had obviously come prepared. He came for the Imperial Master and used Xuansheng's words to silence the Imperial Master.
How about you, the Li family, talking about one saint ancestor all day long? Xuansheng is the Xuansheng of Taoism, not just the saint ancestor of the Li family. The Li family can use the banner of Xuansheng, and others can also use it. Using his spear to attack his shield, even the national master would not be able to resist.
It seems that it is Master Donghua confronting the national master, but in fact it is Master Jiang Dazhen who is hiding his killer move. In the end, the national master failed to make a single move.
Following Jiang Daren's statement, other applause also erupted in the venue.
Of course, not everyone chose to applaud, and some chose to sit still.
The two groups have gradually become distinct.
The Imperial Master finally spoke: "I think it's better to put it to a vote."
No one objected.
If the National Preceptor does not participate, a total of twelve people will vote, which takes a blink of an eye.
The result of the vote came out quickly, six votes to six.
Originally there were still wavering neutral votes, yes or no, it didn't matter, but in the end Qi Xuansu was convinced.
Tie vote. So everyone looked at Master Donghua.
He is the chief counselor, and the power in his hands is sometimes just a decoration, but sometimes it is so great that it is boundless.
Now is the time for the Chief Counselor to exert his power - because it is a tie vote, the Chief Counselor has one more vote.
Master Donghua stood up slowly and said concisely: "My opinion is, I object."
Master Qingwei did not have too many superficial emotional fluctuations, and still performed his duties as the second counselor. He said in a gentle tone: "Seven votes to six, the resolution cannot be passed."
"This is the last topic and this discussion ends here."
After the words fell, Master Cihang also stood up and asked the spiritual officer on duty to open the door of the venue. Deacon Jinque sealed the minutes of the proceedings, and then the participants left the venue one after another. ..
Putting aside the special situation of Master Cihang, the Imperial Master was the last one to arrive and the first one to leave at this time.
Jiang Dazhen was the second one, followed by Shi Dazhen and Tang Dazhen. The two Dazhens walked out of the gate side by side, then one went to the left, the other to the right, and parted ways.
When Qi Xuansu walked out, he found that Master Donghua and Master Cihang were waiting for him, so he quickly took a few steps to greet them.
Master Cihang was talking to Master Donghua at this time, which had nothing to do with this discussion, but related to another matter: "Congratulations to you for receiving such a good apprentice at such a young age."
Master Donghua said in a casual tone: "This is probably fate. Don't forget, the first place he went to was Tiangang Hall, and he was originally a disciple of Zhengyi Tao. It was only later that he converted to Quanzhen Taoism and joined Ziwei Hall. Who let him You didn't catch it."
Master Cihang smiled and said: "My disciples are all female, and there is no precedent of accepting male disciples. Besides, it doesn't matter if I don't catch them, it's enough that my disciples can catch them."
Master Donghua smiled slightly: "In this case, my disciple and your disciple become Taoist couples, and we will be in-laws from now on."
"This is the best." Master Cihang joked about Qiniang, "Yao Qi and I hate each other. She doesn't want to deal with me, and I don't want to deal with her. It's fine now, and we are both free." ”
Although this was said in a joking tone, it also reflects part of the truth. Cihang and Qiniang are indeed not the same person. A female Taoist priest from an orthodox Taoist sect is a benchmark for female Taoists in all positive senses, while Qiniang is a deviant. The benchmark of female Taoist priests. A standard serious person and a standard non-serious person. How can these two people have something in common?
In other words, both of them are old, and in ordinary people's homes, they are already old ladies. If she were a teenage girl, Cihang Zhenren would be the kind of good girl who is good at both morals and academics, works hard, and is praised by her tutoring parents, a child from other families. Qiniang is a negative example of skipping school, fighting, and not doing her job properly.
The achievements of the two people also illustrate a very simple truth. Even if their starting backgrounds are quite different, they still need to study hard.
Even if Master Cihang is just running around, if Master Donghua and Master Qingwei fight to the death and die together, Master Cihang will be the first female master and will be included in the history books. Although Qiniang's family is rich and powerful, she is most likely to leave her name as the Grand Master's adoptive mother or the Grand Master's mother-in-law. The difference between this is huge.
Seeing Qi Xuansu coming over, the two stopped joking and acted more or less like their elders.
Qi Xuansu took the initiative to greet the two of them.
The two praised Qi Xuansu. Cihang Zhenren was like a mother, more straightforward. Donghua Zhenren was like most fathers, more reserved.
Qi Xuansu accepted everything and accompanied the two out of the venue, more or less like a family of three, and then walked out of the Golden Palace.
This scene fell into the eyes of many people, and naturally sighed that Qi Xuansu had a prosperous career.
With such a big backer, even a silly boy can take off.
As for why the two big backers were interested in such a "silly boy", no one thought deeply.
It is true that a person cannot attribute all his success to his own ability, but he cannot blindly emphasize the role of the external environment. The two complement each other. Without any aspect, the ultimate success cannot be achieved.
After Donghua Zhenren and Cihang Zhenren left, Qi Xuansu stood in place, looked back at the standing Golden Palace, and couldn't help sighing.
When he was in St. York, he had read an article written by a Westerner, saying that he was running for governor. Before the election, he was still a respected person. During the election, rumors were flying everywhere. A dozen children of unknown origin surrounded him and called him dad. When he withdrew from the election, he was already infamous.
He paid a lot to be able to enter this building, and his reputation also had such a trend. It is more euphemistic to say that he is a foolish boy on the cusp of the wind. It is more of a rumor. If things between men and women don't work, they will change direction.
For example, a former classmate asked Qi Xuansu to do something, but was blocked by Chen Jianchou. Then there were rumors that Qi Xuansu didn't remember the old friendship after he became rich, and didn't recognize his old classmates. He had no humanity at all, cherishing his feathers and seeking fame. As for why Mo Qingdi let Qi Xuansu speak out? That's because Shi Yu and Qi Xuansu were unclear.
In addition, someone knew that Qi Xuansu was an orphan, so he organized a drama of recognizing his relatives, but was still blocked. Then there were rumors that Qi Xuansu didn't recognize his biological parents in order to recognize his godmother.
There are too many such despicable means.
What's the point of standing upright? If the ground is not flat, no matter how upright you stand, the whole thing will be crooked.
So Qi Xuansu remembered a line from Xuansheng: The road on earth is not flat.
We must flatten this road.
Qi Xuansu retracted his gaze and continued to move forward, out of Zifu and Xuandu.
A few days ago, Qi Xuansu had been living in the signing room of Beichen Hall to revise the manuscript. It was big enough for a "bachelor". Today, Qi Xuansu suddenly didn't want to live in the signing room anymore and decided to go home.
Qi Xuansu subconsciously wanted to go to Haichanfang, but suddenly remembered that it was no longer his home, just like Qi Haoran was no longer his master. So he turned to his new home in Taishangfang.
Although it was called a new home, Qi Xuansu had not been there much except for bringing Xiao Yin there once. None of them came as much as Zhang Yuelu, mainly because Zhang Yuelu had a group of female Taoist priests around her. Women were more concerned about such things and always came to take a look, so she had to accompany them. After all, it was a famous house in Yujing. In addition, Qi Xuansu had no money, because he did not often return to Yujing for official business, and Zhang Yuelu was in charge of the renovation.
Qi Xuansu felt ashamed. No matter how you look at it, he looked like a hands-off shopkeeper.
He didn't care about the house or the children, and left them all to Zhang Yuelu. He really didn't respect female Taoist friends. If this got out, wouldn't he add another crime? Female Taoist friends may not be the opponents of male Taoist friends in action, but they are good at killing people with words.
Qi Xuansu decided to make up for the "huge mistake" he had made during the few days in Yujing, first take a look at the house problem, and then solve the problem of Xiao Yin's difficulty in going to school.
Just now, he was still speaking out in the meeting, caring about the future of Taoism and the fate of the new world, and in the blink of an eye, he had to care about such a specific and down-to-earth problem.
To be honest, the gap is a bit big.
As soon as Qi Xuansu arrived at the door of his house, he saw a person waiting there. He was also wearing the crane cloak of a second-rank Taiyi Taoist priest, but he was wearing a white jade lotus crown.
It was Huangfu Ji.
The real person of the Western Dao Sect, except that he did not have the title of "Chanzhi" and could not participate in the Golden Palace meeting, all other treatments were the same as the real person of Canzhi.
Fortunately, Taishangfang was not short of second-rank Taiyi Taoist priests, and Huangfu Ji did not stand out here.
Qi Xuansu said: "Real person Huangfu is well-informed."
Huangfu Ji actually bowed and said sincerely: "Thank you."
Qi Xuansu waved his hand and said: "I don't deserve it. Some people have already said that I am a filial son and grandson of the Western Dao Sect. I am not doing this for the Western Dao Sect, at least not entirely, but more of a fair word."
