Chapter 6 Drama and News

Tan Taiying shrugged like a Westerner and spread her hands, "I don't know either."

Qi Xuansu didn't expect Tan Taiying to answer. If she knew, she wouldn't say that she only had fragments.

But when it comes to heaven, Qi Xuansu thought of Paititi, not the new Paititi that exists as the capital of Tawanting, but the Paititi in a narrow sense, also known as the Lost City, the Forgotten City, and the Kingdom of Gold.

A long time ago, Qi Xuansu got a map of Paititi from Wang Jiaohe. It is said that there is the secret of Kukulkan, which can make pseudo-immortals ascend to immortality.

Because Qi Xuansu has the "Heart of the Immortal Stone", he is not so eager to pursue the ascension to immortality. In addition, he is indeed busy with affairs and has no time to split himself, so he has never started to look for this legendary city. .??.

Later, Qi Xuansu got a special "key" from "Baron" Ramon in Saint York. It is also said to be related to Paititi, and is related to Kukulkan and Ishichel.

Now it seems that it should be related to Itsamna and Ishichel, but arrogance is nature, and outsiders have no intention of understanding the origins of these ancient gods in depth, so they mistakenly confuse Kukulkan with Itsamna.

It is even possible that Wang Jiaohe also confused the two.

After all, when Qi Xuansu first arrived in the New World, he did not realize that there was a sun god before Kukulkan. It was only after he met Ishichel that he gradually realized this problem.

For Qi Xuansu, there is one more clue, and many more questions, a thousand threads, a mess.

Then Tan Taiying led Qi Xuansu to the place where the files were stored. The files of the "Shadow Case" were piled up here. Tan Taiying's management was more meticulous, and she had classified them into categories and even compiled a catalog. This is why she was able to quickly compile a summary and hand it to Qi Xuansu.

If Qi Xuansu wanted to know more details, he could look for them in these files.

Take the case of the disappearance of the Divine Eagle Guards, for example. The personal files of each missing Divine Eagle Guards were detailed, including name, age, experience, and family background investigation, which can be said to be very detailed.

There was also the case of Kamakai Island. Although it was impossible for Juesheng Hall to master the information of everyone, some important figures on the island, including the situation of the missing merchant ships, were also recorded in detail.

Qi Xuansu roughly flipped through them, but did not read them one by one. After all, he was the chief deputy hall master of Beichen Hall, so there was no reason for him to sit here and slowly read the files. Since Huangfu Ji had already agreed to open the door to convenience, he could no longer say that he was short of manpower, so it was natural for Juesheng Hall to organize a group of people to further organize and refine the various information in the files.

Then, according to Qi Xuansu's ideas and requirements, he would provide Qi Xuansu with the corresponding information in a targeted manner.

However, Qi Xuansu did not completely ignore it. He still relied on the memory of Sanren after his transformation and browsed through the process of many cases at a speed of almost ten lines at a glance. Compared with Tan Taiying's overview, it was naturally much more detailed.

This also allowed Qi Xuansu to discover some details that he had not noticed before, such as the appearance of the shadow was not without signs. In fact, it can be described as a wind rising from the end of the green duckweed. It's just that many times, the attention of those in power is not here, or they are simply numb and don't realize the arrival of the shadow at all, so when the shadow accumulates to a certain critical point and finally explodes, they will feel it's sudden.

At the same time, Qi Xuansu also read the blood letter of the Divine Eagle Guard. Unlike the photocopy, the real blood letter gave Qi Xuansu a completely different feeling, which was like a talisman.

Words have power, so the West has developed various rune scrolls, and the East has talismans, all of which work through the power of words.

This blood letter also gave Qi Xuansu a similar feeling.

However, the power in the blood book was like a candle in the wind, mixed with divine power, almost imperceptible. If Qi Xuansu did not have his own divine domain, he would not be able to sense it.

As we all know, the Western Dao Sect mainly inherits the two major traditions of Qi Refiners and Warriors, and there are almost no witches. It is reasonable that the people of Juesheng Hall did not find it.

In the blink of an eye, it was evening, and Gong Fu, the second-in-command of the Western Dao Sect, sent an invitation to Qi Xuansu. Qi Xuansu had to temporarily interrupt his investigation and go to the banquet.

The dinner was hosted by Gong Fu himself. Although Tan Tai Zhenxiao, Huangfu Zhao and others did not show up, it was also of a very high standard.

The reason is not complicated, that is, to thank Qi Xuansu and the Taoist power behind Qi Xuansu for speaking for the Western Dao Sect at the Jinque meeting.

This move also has a bit of meaning of tying Qi Xuansu to the chariot, but in the current environment where the middle faction of either left or right is the first to suffer, Qi Xuansu does not rule out doing so. Not standing in line is not thorough, that is, not standing in line. The end of not standing in line is often not very good.

At the dinner, Gong Fu praised Qi Xuansu as a young hero. It is true that Qi Xuansu is not a young man at this age, let alone a man who is a young man until death. It is just that in the eyes of an old man like Gong Fu, there is not much difference between teenagers, twenty-year-olds, and thirty-year-olds. They are all young men.

Then Gong Fu said something half-truthfully

under the influence of alcohol, which was not the real intention of the drunkard. It was a pity that such an excellent young man had a master at an early age. If he had no master, the eldest granddaughter of the great master Tan Tai would be just right.

The result was that before Qi Xuansu could say anything, Tan Tai Ying had already stood up and left the table - she was in a bad mood and did not even give face to the great master Gong.

Gong Fu had become accustomed to it and didn't care. He didn't even bother to say "unbridled", "nonsense" or "stop". Let her be.

This is truly a spoiled woman. Apart from anything else, in the upper level of Xidaomen, the atmosphere of fireworks and human touch is indeed a little stronger than that of the upper level of Daomen.

This is not surprising. With huge external pressure and alien races around, as long as you still want to survive, many internal conflicts will be suppressed, many issues will be put aside, and you will naturally become more united. Once there is unity, there is not so much infighting, and the human touch comes out.

On the other hand, the Taoist sect was too far away from the Holy Court. Even if the two families were willing to be hostile, even though they were of equal size and no one had a clear advantage, the distance of half a world also made the two families powerless and neither one was willing to take the initiative, thus forming a situation. This creates an environment where external pressure is low but internal strife is high. In this environment, although everyone is related to each other, it is only for the sake of face.

After the dinner, Gong Fu invited Qi Xuansu to watch a play. It was a new play that incorporated the characteristics of various local operas in the Central Plains.

The theater was very large, a bit like an enlarged theater. Qi Xuansu and Gong Fu were invited to the front row seats. They were the only two people in the entire first row. Originally, there was a seat for Tantai Ying, but she left early. .??.

Everyone else is behind the two, showing a strict hierarchy. This kind of situation usually does not happen in Daomen that shouts equality on the surface. Xidaomen tore off this fig leaf directly.

Just when Qi Xuansu was thinking about this, the show started. The costumes of the actors made Qi Xuansu temporarily put down all kinds of thoughts in his mind. At the same time, he felt a sense of absurdity. He saw all the Central Plains faces wearing wigs and Western clothes. The story of a man's clothes turning out to be a Westerner is indeed unconventional enough.

This couldn't help but remind Qi Xuansu of the new play "Three Halls Trial of Jia Li Lei" that he and Zhang Yuelu watched at Yujing Taishangfang.

Immediately afterwards, the actors started talking, and the expression on Qi Xuansu's face showed an uncontrollable and wonderful variety of changes.

"Saints are not created by humans. The innate Holy Spirit comes to earth..."

"I felt like a knife was twisting in my belly, it turned out that the baby was about to come to the world..."

>

"Hearing this, the three great sages were alarmed and set out to present the gifts. They brought a dozen fresh fruits and ten kilograms of fine white flour..."

"Mr. Joseph, sit down and listen to what I have to say..."

"She got pregnant before she got married. I know you have thoughts in your mind. Who is the father of the child? You can't sleep every day and night..."

"This child was created by the Holy Spirit and came to the world through his mother's womb. He will pay for the sins of the world and is the Emmanuel Messiah..."

"The grace of the Supreme Will is mighty, and the reputation of the Virgin Mary spreads..."

How should I put it, although it was not made up randomly, it was all based on the legends of the Holy Court, but for some reason, after Qi Xuansu listened to this play, he felt that the word "holy" in the Holy Court had been almost eliminated.

After the show, Qi Xuansu received a letter from Gong Jiaojun.

What is Ziweitang’s biggest advantage? Is it a fast promotion? is more informed. Sometimes, Ziweitang will know which real person is about to retire or which position is vacant. This time difference is very precious. If you know first, act first, and take the first step, the probability of success will be much greater.

Gong Jiaojun conveyed a message to Qi Xuansu that the matter of resetting the master of the Wanxiang Dao Palace was probably settled.

The biggest advantage of Wanxiang Taoist Palace is that it is self-contained and can dominate in its own small circle.

There are so many Taoist palaces, why can the Wanxiang Taoist Palace be compared with the Zixiao Palace and have a dedicated master in charge of the palace? The reason is very simple. The Wanxiang Taoist Palace is related to the descendants and future of the Taoist sect. In addition, the Wanxiang Taoist Palace is relatively closed and self-contained. It is easiest to establish a disciple-disciple relationship similar to the one between the examiner and the Jinshi under the Confucian imperial examination system.

In this kind of student-student relationship, the examiner is the master if the same subject is the same year.

The Taoist priests who came out of the Wanxiang Taoist Palace naturally regard the Master of the Palm Palace and the Master of the Palm Palace as their "seat masters". This is a natural faction. Master Shi Dazhen unreasonably favors Qi Xuansu because Qi Xuansu is the master of the Wanxiang Taoist Palace. Origin. In addition, Wanxiang Taoist Palace is also responsible for training high-quality Taoist priests, which is also a disguised teacher-student relationship.

Of course, Wanxiang Taoist Palace also has disadvantages, that is, it is too closed-minded and self-contained. After leaving the Dao Palace,

The influence will be greatly weakened. For things like connections, if you can help others, others can also help you. Helping each other is called connections. If you help one-sidedly, it's not called a network. Moreover, after spending a long time in Wanxiang Dao Palace, it is easy to become more academic and bookish, and incompatible with the outside world, such as Sun Hewu.

In short, there are advantages and disadvantages, but Qi Xuansu's whereabouts have been roughly decided.
