Chapter 44 Preparation

It was already dusk when Qi Xuansu went to Tianji Hall.

The Tianji Hall branch of Jinling Mansion is not far from Zhenwu Temple, just two streets apart.

Different from usual, this time Qi Xuansu came to the branch of Tianji Hall as the upright Taoist priest of the fifth grade Ziwei Hall. The Taoist priests of Jiutang were already half a level higher than the Taoist priests of the local Taoist government. As the head of Jiutang, Ziwei The Taoist priest saw that the person was half a level higher, which was equivalent to a Taoist priest of the fourth level of sacrificial wine, so the Taoist priest in charge here personally came to receive him.

After being received by the local Taoist priest, the two went directly to the second hall. There was a small living room here. After sitting down, someone immediately served hot tea. Not to mention anything else, this pot of tea alone is worth a Taipei money.

However, Qi Xuansu is not here for business. Ever since he bought the Hengdao "Feiying" from the branch of Huashengtang in Bohai Mansion, Qi Xuansu only had some change left on him, not to mention buying "Phoenix Eyes" and "Dragon Eyes" , not even the money to take the flying boat. But the good thing about Taoist status is that as long as the conditions are met, everything is free, including free flying boats, free accommodation in Taoist temples, and free "dragon eyes" and "phoenix eyes".

The two of them exchanged a few words as colleagues, but the local Taoist priest in charge praised Qi Xuansu for his young talent. He had already become the Taoist priest at a young age. He was still in Ziweitang, and it was only a matter of time before he was promoted to the fourth rank. The future is bright. Qi Xuansu would like to express some modest compliments, ask about local customs, and talk about the case that everyone is concerned about.

Then get to the point.

Qi Xuansu took out Lei Xiaohuan's warrant and handed it to the Taoist priest in charge.

The Taoist priest in charge understood the order as soon as he took it. There was no need to ask any more questions, and there was no need to talk nonsense. He called a subordinate, handed the order to him, and asked him to prepare the corresponding things according to the order.

This scene is somewhat similar to a pharmacy clerk taking medicine according to the prescription.

The Taoist priest in charge did not move and continued to drink tea and chat with Qi Xuansu.

About two sticks of incense later, a seventh-grade Taoist priest walked in carrying a suitcase with a strong Western influence.

The Taoist priest in charge pointed at the table between the two of them: "Open it."

The seventh-grade Taoist priest placed the box on the table, opened it, and turned to Qi Xuansu.

I saw that there was a special buckle fixing structure in the box, and there were five "Phoenix Eyes Yi Er", three "Phoenix Eyes Yi Yi" and two "Phoenix Eyes Jia Jiu" neatly arranged.

Qi Xuansu looked at "Fengyan Jiajiu" with a lot of emotion.

The last time he used "Fengyan Jiajiu" was in the Western Region. He was able to kill Diswen who was seriously injured. "Fengyan Jiajiu" was indispensable.

There is a circle of slightly smaller buckles around the "phoenix eye series", with a total of ten "dragon eye Yiyi" placed. Compared with "Long Jing Yi Er",

"Dragon Eyes Yiyi" is very narrow and long, with increased range and armor-breaking properties, making it more suitable for long guns. However, the "Shenlong Hand Gun" is said to be specially developed for the "Dragon Eyes" series, and "Dragon Eyes Yiyi" can also be used. But its huge recoil is not something that just anyone can control with one hand.

It has to be said that the special batch of real people is very grand. It starts directly with "Long Eye Yiyi" and "Fengyan Yier", which is much better than what Qi Xuansu used before.

Qi Xuansu closed the box, stood up and thanked the two of them: "Thank you."

"It should be." The Taoist priest in charge also stood up to see him off.

After Qi Xuansu left the branch of Tianji Hall, he went directly back to his residence in Zhenwu Temple. Before officially starting the mission, he still had to make some preparations.

Because Qi Xuansu does not have Xumi treasures, he cannot carry all the "Phoenix Eyes" series with him. Except for the two most powerful "Phoenix Eyes Jiajiu", "Phoenix Eyes Yier" and "Phoenix Eyes Yiyi" can only be used separately. Bring two, but the "Dragon Eyes" series are smaller in size and you can bring them all, and Qi Xuansu can give up the ordinary armor-breaking projectiles and get four rounds of "Dragon Eyes B-2", eight rounds of "Dragon Eyes Yi-3", ten rounds of "Long Eyes Yi-3" "Long Jing Yiyi", very wealthy.

Qi Xuansu even thought about getting a repeating fire gun later.

The principle of the continuous fire gun is not complicated. The reason why the "Dragon Hand Gun" is designed as a single-shot structure is because the "Dragon Eye" series is too powerful. However, there is a "Sun-shooting Long Gun" in Tianjitang. Although it cannot be fired continuously without intervals, it has an additional magazine and can be loaded with nine rounds of projectiles. It does not have to be loaded once every time the gun is fired, which greatly saves time.

Then there are the cold weapons. For Qi Xuansu, firearms are not necessary, swords are the foundation. His short sword "Qingyuan" and horizontal sword "Feiying" are real eaters and must be carried with him.

Finally, there is the hidden weapon. "Qifeng Yu" was sold by Qi Xuansu, leaving only four "Bliss Needles". Unless they hit the target, their power is limited. The key is to limit the opponent's realm cultivation. Even Zhang Yuelu was hit. trick.

Fire guns and horizontal knives are hung on the left and right sides of the waist, daggers are placed behind the waist, "dragon eyes" and "phoenix eyes" are placed in the shoulder bag, and hidden weapons are hidden in the sleeves.

After doing this, Qi Xuansu put on the white fox face mask, chose the face of a young man from the three fixed faces, and changed into the formal attire of a fifth-grade Taoist priest that he had just worn for a few days, but he did not change it for the Jianghu worth ten Taiping coins. He was short-dressed, but wore regular clothes. After all, dressing up as a Jianghu person in Zhenwu Temple is too eye-catching.

In addition, Qi Xuansu also obtained a "task fund" of 500 Taiping from Lei Xiaohuan, which can be used for daily expenses, bribery, etc.

As for Qi Xuansu's Taoist sect's regular money and subsidies in the past few months, it is basically calculated based on the fifth-grade Taoist priest and five months.

The standard silver is 50 yuan of Taiping money per month, and the alternate priest subsidy is 20 yuan of Taiping money per month, which means an income of 70 yuan of Taiping money per month, a total of 350 yuan of Taiping money, but it will be rounded up to the first day of June, and it is not available for the time being.

In addition, Qi Xuansu also failed to get the 1,000 yuan of Taiping money from Qi Niang, and he will have to wait until Qi Niang arrives in Jinling Prefecture to get it.

It was late at night, and Jinling Prefecture was a prosperous place in summer. At this time, there should be countless people enjoying the cool air, and the night market was extremely lively. However, the surroundings of Zhenwu Temple were silent, and the huge courtyard of Zhenwu Temple was deep. Because of the case, the atmosphere was quite serious and solemn. There was no excitement here, except for quietness.

Qi Xuansu came out of the yard where he lived and walked towards the back door of Zhenwu Temple.

After the heavy rain, there was a big bright moon hanging in the sky, and there were dim street lights beside the winding path. Qi Xuansu was walking, getting closer and closer to the back door of the Taoist temple.

"Who?" A spiritual officer sent by Jiangnan Daofu suddenly asked in the dark.

Qi Xuansu was not surprised, but just said: "The deacon of Tiangang Hall wants to go out for a walk."

There are more than one spiritual officers in charge of guarding, all in different positions. One spiritual officer walked out from the dark, took the initiative to salute, and said: "Please show your waist badge."

Generally speaking, the certificate is mostly for outsiders to see, and the position is more valued within the Taoist sect.

Although Qi Xuansu has a new certificate and Ziwei Hall waist badge, Zhang Yuelu did not take back his Tiangang Hall deacon waist badge.

Qi Xuansu took out the waist badge and handed it to the spiritual officer.

The waist badge has an advantage. There is no name on it, only a number. The identity can be checked through this number, but the identity of the holder cannot be directly known through the waist badge. After all, the transfer of deacons and principals is quite frequent. In order to prevent counterfeiting, the waist badges are made of special materials and must be reused. It is impossible to recast a waist badge for a new deacon. The cost is too high.

However, when it comes to the level of the fourth-rank priest and deputy hall master, in addition to the waist badge, there is also a certificate of ordination, which is unique to each person and cannot be reused. The fourth-rank priest is initially granted the "Chu Zhen Jing Lu", the third-rank Youyi Taoist is promoted to the "Zhong Ji Jing Lu", the second-rank Taiyi Taoist is additionally granted the "Shang Dong Jing Lu", the Canzhi Zhenren is granted the "Tai Xuan Jing Lu", the first-rank Tianzhen Taoist is granted the "Taishang Du Gong Jing Lu", and the deputy head of the great Zhenren is granted the "Taishang Daode Jing Lu".

After the spiritual officer checked Qi Xuansu's waist badge, he took the key to open the lock, and then moved down a large horizontal bolt and opened a door.

Qi Xuansu took advantage of the night to leave Zhenwu Temple, and saw many spiritual officers standing outside Zhenwu Temple, all wearing spiritual officer armor, lined up against the wall, showing the strict defense.

Qi Xuansu did not stop and soon disappeared into the night.
