Chapter 236: The Mystery of the Geomancer (Part 2)

After Qi Xuansu left the prison, he first contacted Li Zhuyu.

"Chief Qi, is there something wrong?" Li Zhuyu's attitude was quite cold. After all, Li Zhuyu was tricked by Qi Xuansu on Li Tianlan's matter. Although she was not as good as Li Changge, she was also the eldest daughter of the Li family. There was no need to please Qi Xuansu without limit. It would be strange to give Qi Xuansu a good face.

Qi Xuansu said, "You should know about Li Tianlan's matter, right?"

"I know." Li Zhuyu said coldly, "Chief Qi has made new achievements again, which is gratifying. This time, Chief Qi fought Quanzhen Dao with one hand and Taiping Dao with the other hand, and the only thing missing is Zhengyi Dao. Those who know that Chief Qi only has two hands and can't take care of it, and those who don't know think that Chief Qi deliberately favors his Yue family."

Qi Xuansu ignored Li Zhuyu's sarcasm and asked directly, "I heard that Li Tianlan's eldest son Li Mingping is still in your hands?"

Li Zhuyu asked back, "Why, Chief Qi still wants to cut the grass and root it out?"

Qi Xuansu said, "That's not what I mean , it's just a case of false accusation, and he has to come over to go through the procedures. "

Li Zhuyu, who had been fooled once, refused without thinking, "No."

Qi Xuansu said, "Deputy Hall Master Danjin, I'm talking to you about official business. This request is reasonable. You have to give an explanation for why you disagree."

Li Zhuyu didn't know how to answer for a moment, and said, "Li Mingping doesn't want to see Gu Ying."

Qi Xuansu said, "Deputy Hall Master Danjin, you are obstructing him in every way. Could it be that Li Mingping has encountered something unexpected? I heard that Gu Ying's adulterer is a big shot..."

There is no need to say more, Qi Xuansu's threat is obvious.

Qingwei Zhenren had specifically told Li Zhuyu to protect Li Minghuang. Now Qi Xuansu brought up Li Minghuang again. Li Zhuyu was anxious and angry. "Chief Qi, what are you going to do? Do you really think that there is no one in our Li family?" Qi Xuansu said, "I didn't say that, nor did I think that. If you hand Li Mingping over to me, I will close Gu Ying's case and will not involve other people. This is what I promised Qingwei Zhenren." Li Zhuyu was skeptical, "Really?" Qi Xuansu said frankly, "You can ask Qingwei Zhenren." The reason why Li Zhuyu was unwilling to hand over the person was that he was afraid that Qi Xuansu would Using Li Mingping as an excuse, she believed it a little after hearing what Qi Xuansu said, but she still didn't give in. "Is it that simple?"

Qi Xuansu saw that Li Zhuyu was adamant, so he had to tell her the truth. "Of course it's not that simple. Li Tianlan is very uncooperative now. He put forward a condition, saying that someone wanted his eldest son to shut up forever because he was afraid of the family scandal being exposed. He had already let his eldest son down once and couldn't let him down a second time, so he asked me to save his eldest son. Only in this way would he cooperate and explain."

Li Zhuyu

remained silent.

She did consider some extreme measures, but when Qi Xuansu pointed them out, she was not as tough as before.

Qi Xuansu then said, "Let's make a gentleman's agreement. I will no longer pursue the mess of Gu Ying and Li Minghuang, and close the case. As for you, ensure the safety of Li Mingping. Don't forget that you are a member of the Li family, and you are of the same clan. The Li family has expelled him from the family tree, which is a mistake once. Do you want to make the same mistake again?"

Li Zhuyu finally said, "Okay, I promise you."

Qi Xuansu finally said, "Danjin, since it is a gentleman's agreement, then I hope you don't play tricks like you are a woman and not a gentleman. If you break the agreement, I won't lose anything. After all, my name is not Li Xuansu, and I have nothing in common with Li Mingping. I'm just afraid that other Li family members will be disappointed."

Li Zhuyu snorted heavily and ended the call directly.

After solving the problem of Li Mingping, there is also Li Tianlan's youngest son.

This is not difficult. He has been at Li Tianlan's house all the time. Zhang Jucheng has sent people to protect Li Tianlan's youngest son. When Li Tianlan escaped, he did not take his son with him because he saw it for sure. Taoism does not favor collective punishment, and his son's surname is Li. Even if he escapes, his son will not be homeless, let alone arrested. Generally, he will be sent back to the Li family in Qizhou, so he ran away without any worries.

Qi Xuansu only needs to tell Zhang Jucheng that after this matter is over, he can directly send Li Tianlan's youngest son to the Wanxiang Taoist Palace and say that it was Li Tianlan's intention. That would be safe.

As for Li Minghuang, Qi Xuansu is not in a hurry.

Qingwei Zhenren has already said hello. Qi Xuansu can't just overthrow Li Tianlan and then deal with Li Minghuang.

Why can Qi Xuansu overthrow Li Minghuang? One of the reasons is that Qi Xuansu understands the "rules".

This is of course derogatory.

What rules?

Don't be confused about small things, but be confused about big things.

If it involves "rat", you can investigate it strictly. If it involves "tool", you can't ask a word, let alone investigate.

What can be investigated, what can't be investigated, how to investigate, to what extent, and where to stop.

This is the rule.

Do what you should do, and stop when you must stop.

If it were Zhang Yuelu, if he wanted to investigate thoroughly, he would immediately provoke a full counterattack from the Taiping Dao. Because Zhang Yuelu did not follow these "rules", it would be difficult for Zhang Yuelu to succeed.

According to the "rules", Qi Xuansu had already taken advantage, so he could not be a good boy, and Li Minghuang could not be involved in any way.

Qi Xuansu certainly knew that this was wrong.

Maybe he would be criticized for his wrong ideas.

But life will not tell you right or wrong, and neither will fate.

Heaven is not benevolent, and treats all things as straw dogs.

No matter what you do, the world always runs according to that law.

Just because you are right, you will definitely get good results, and just because you are wrong, you will definitely get bad results.

Young people who are not engaged in production, who have not been exposed to the worldly experience and are naive, always want to praise morality. However, after experiencing a little polishing in the world, they will quickly abandon this morality and go to the other extreme.

So it presents a funny duality. Today he is a passionate Taoist boy, tomorrow he is an awakened person who wants to embrace the Holy Court, and he may repent the day after tomorrow. The only difference is whether he suffered a blow or was wronged during this period.

Qi Xuansu has experienced some hardships in the world, so he no longer looks at problems in terms of right and wrong, but in terms of interests and harms.

He is a person who does not distinguish between black and white. Sometimes he is black and sometimes he is white, depending on the external environment. If the environment is white, he is white; if the environment is black, he is black, just like a mirror.

Because of this, people like Zhang Yuelu who still insist on doing the right thing even if they encounter setbacks or even almost lose their lives are particularly valuable.

Many times, most people know what is right and what is wrong, but why would they rather stay where they are than take the right path? Because this road is too difficult.

Everyone who sticks to the right path should be praised.

Qi Xuansu admired Zhang Yuelu, so respect gave birth to love.

So no matter what, let’s put Li Minghuang’s matter aside for now.

Qi Xuansu is most concerned about the issue of the fourth generation of earth masters now.

Today's situation is becoming more and more complex.

Qi Xuansu listed Biao Qiniang, Zhou Mengyao, the leader of Qingpinghui, Yao Zu, the third generation of earth masters, the fourth generation of earth masters, and the current generation of earth masters.

These are all relevant people.

Qi Xuansu couldn't even figure out how many people there were.

Zhou Mengyao and the leader of Qingpinghui may be two people, or they may be the same person.

The same is true for this generation of earth masters and the fourth generation of earth masters.

If the current generation Earth Master and the fourth generation Earth Master are the same person, then what is the relationship between the fourth generation Earth Master and the third generation Earth Master? What is the relationship between the third generation Earth Master and Yao Zu, the second generation Earth Master?

It can’t be Yao Zu

As long as she lives, she is the only one who has passed down the Yao family from generation to generation, right?

That's too scary.

To solve this doubt, Qi Xuansu decided to start with portraits.

Qi Xuansu used the fish charm to contact Qiniang again.

"What are you doing?" Qiniang seemed to be very busy. Half of her body was outside the screen. Xiao Yin could still be heard faintly shouting, and she didn't know what the old and the young were doing.

Qi Xuansu asked directly, "Qiniang, have you met the Earth Master?"

"I've seen it before. What's wrong?" Qiniang replied absently.

Qi Xuansu said, "Can you draw me a portrait of the Earth Master?"

Qiniang simply said, "I'm not good at painting."

Xiao Yin's voice came: "Paihua? I can do it."

Qiniang turned around and said, "Then have you seen the Earth Master?"

"I haven't seen it before!" Xiao Yin, who has been outside the picture, said confidently. He could almost imagine her hands on her hips, "but I can draw it based on my imagination."

Qi Xuansu ignored Xiao Yin and continued to ask, "Have you seen the portrait of the fourth generation Earth Master?"

Qiniang said, "There are portraits of earth masters from all over the world hanging in Yuxu Palace in Zi Mansion. You can take a look at them as you like. The prerequisite is that you can go in."

Qi Xuansu did go in once, mainly to visit Yao Pei who was injured by Li Changge. But at that time, Qi Xuansu would not have thought of today, and naturally he did not pay attention to the portrait of the fourth generation Earth Master. Not to mention, Li Tianlan has already said that the official portrait of the fourth generation Earth Master is seriously distorted.

Qi Xuansu sighed, hesitating whether to tell Qiniang the truth.

Qiniang had already taken the lead and asked, "You ask the Earth Master first, and then the fourth generation Earth Master, what is the explanation here?"

Qi Xuansu finally chose to believe Qiniang and roughly told him the latest information he had obtained.

After Qiniang heard this, she also looked surprised, "I didn't know there was such an inside story."

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but feel a little discouraged: "You, the Yao family, don't even know, then

Others will never know. "

"That's not necessarily the case." Qiniang said, "Those of us don't know, but it's possible that True Lord Ziguang doesn't know. You can ask her."

Qi Xuansu was startled, and his mind suddenly opened up.

True Lord Ziguang was resurrected long before the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, and has been in the human world for more than two hundred years since then. And unlike Wu Luo and Siming Zhenjun, Ziguang Zhenjun has a close relationship with the Taoist sect and has interacted with the heavenly masters of all generations. Maybe she will know some inside stories.

Of course, it is a problem for ordinary people to see True Lord Ziguang, but for Qi Xuansu, it is not a problem. He can directly seek enlightenment from True Lord Ziguang.
