Chapter 127: New Nobles

Wutu said: "Previously, we passed the two insect men in Xinpaititi and roughly determined the location of Lanyun Sect. We expected that after arriving at the designated sea area, we would wait for the dark moon to rise, and then move toward the dark moon. Go in that direction and you will eventually reach Lanyun Island where Lanyun Sect is located.”

Before this, Utu had been dealing with the bug-men for many years and knew the bug-men very well. His speculation was still credible.

Qi Xuansu nodded: "That should be the case."

Wu Tu said: "If we want to go to sea, although we can all fly, it is better to have a big ship to settle down. If we want to discuss things or take a short rest, we can't float on the sea, right? Of course, if it's 'Yinglong' ’, that would be the best.”

Qi Xuansu said half-jokingly: "Isn't the Great Master's 'White Dragon Tower Ship' better?"

Wutu said in surprise: "Master Qi can even mobilize the 'White Dragon Tower Ship'?"

Qi Xuansu said: "Of course not. Not to mention the 'White Dragon Tower Ship', there is no 'Yinglong'. The entire Taoist sect can mobilize no more than ten 'Yinglong' people. I am not even the Master of Shenzhi. I can only mobilize one." Zijiao' come here."

Wutu was a little disappointed, and then said: "What about the transfer from Xidaomen? There is still a 'Sun Boat'."

Qi Xuansu smiled and said: "Didn't it change to 'Moon Boat'?"

Wutu ignored this and continued: "Master Qi gave Master Huangfu so much peace money, worry-free money, gold crowns, Yingyang, and so many properties and houses. It is a great gift. Master Huangfu should also give it." It’s only right to express something, why don’t we ask Master Huangfu to think of a way to bring a ship over, so that it can be more convenient. After all, Master Huangfu still has a lot of face, and he is the future leader.”

Qi Xuansu nodded: "That's right, gifts can't be given in vain. Taoist brother Huangfu does have a lot of face. If one day, I lose to Li Yongyan, I'm afraid I won't even have the position of deputy headmaster Da Zhenren. I can only Be a great master of Pingzhang. But in the future, Brother Huangfu will be in charge of the Xidao Sect, and no one can take away the position of a great master."

Wutu followed closely in Ixichel's footsteps: "What are you talking about, Master Qi? At this time, there are only you and me. Say something to avoid outsiders. We are all looking forward to Master Qi taking over the Zixiao Palace." . Although I am from the Southern Continent, I know a little bit about the situation of the sect. As the saying goes, if you get the Tao, you will get more help, but if you lose, there will be less help. Zheng Yiyi, Quanzhen Tao, and the Great Master all think highly of Master Qi, and believe that only Master Qi can lead the sect to the right direction. A better future will be achieved by the next election of the Great Master."

Qi Xuansu smiled and said, "Then I'll lend you some good words."

There is nothing taboo about these words, it is not in public, and it is already a well-known name. Is there anyone among the eight generations of disciples who can compete with Qi Xuansu and Li Changge? Zhang Yuelu will be discouraged, and Yao Pei will be silent.

This is how the Taoist sect is. Basically, one generation can roughly determine the candidates for the next generation. That is, when Xuansheng is in office, the scope of candidates for the third generation of great masters has been basically determined. The next step is for these people to compete. . It is not uncommon in all dynasties. This is called a "good saint grandson".

Donghua Zhenren and others were also the fifth generation masters who had already emerged when they were still in office, and had the so-called masters image.

The only exception was the Sixth-generation Grandmaster. No one expected this. Only the Sixth-generation Grandmaster had a problem.

Therefore, when people from the Taoist sect say that Qi Xuansu has the status of being a great master, they are not trying to make things up, nor are they conclusions drawn from observing the sky at night, but based on the situation at the top, which is just not accessible to ordinary people.

Wutu's words cannot be regarded as flattery. These factions in the southern continent basically support Qi Xuansu, because Qi Xuansu has a gentle attitude and is willing to co-govern. Li Changge represents a faction that wants to dominate others. Based on their own interests, of course they must support Qi Xuansu.

As an upper-class elite, you may not believe in this system or that system, or you may not believe in this idea or that idea, but you must believe in interests.

The so-called unity is actually about sharing profits.

Qi Xuansu didn't completely agree with this concept, but there was no other way. I have to admit that unity is really useful.

"That's it, you send the money to Master Huangfu and prepare for going to sea." Qi Xuansu ordered.

Utu hesitated and said: "The safety of real people..."

Qi Xuansu said: "There is also Hu En'ahan, and Tantaiying's people are coming soon, so they won't be in the way."

Wutu was very cautious: "I'd better wait for the people from West Tiangang Hall to come over before leaving."

Qi Xuansu had no objection: "That's fine."

…

Xu Jiaorong came to Yujing by taking the opportunity to participate in the discussion.

There will be unified personnel adjustments soon. Those who should be promoted will be promoted, and those who should be demoted will be replaced by new people. Only after all personnel arrangements are in place will formal preparations be made to elect the Grand Master.

In other words, this is the last large-scale personnel adjustment before the election of the Grand Master, and there will at most be some minor adjustments after that.

When discussing plans for personnel adjustments, the order is from high to low. The people above move to ensure stability.

Level 1 Pingzhang Daizhen is the last to be adjusted. Because the number of Pingzhang Dazhen is uncertain, Pingzhang Dazhen is basically a lifelong system.

The deputy head master, the great master, will help him get on his horse and give him a ride. The new deputy head master, the great master, will be appointed by the seventh generation master.

Therefore, this is also the busiest time for the Taoist sect. There are many people running around and seeking connections, and they all run up. There are also some people who, with the mentality that their rights do not expire and become invalid, begin to speed up the realization of their rights. Ziweitang is even busier. This is the value of being the first of the nine halls.

Working in Ziwei Hall, the level of chief and steward actually doesn’t have much advantage. Sometimes, due to external comments, in order to avoid being accused of abuse of power for personal gain, promotion is slower, but the final outcome is more selective. However, when it comes to the level of deputy hall master and assistant, the advantage is great. For example, Yao Shu, the former chief deputy hall master of Ziwei Hall, went straight to the top, skipped the level of Master of Palace, and became Master of Mansion, or a large Daofu like Borneo Daofu. Even if there is a Master of Mansion above, it is better than some small Daofu.

On the other hand, Qi Xuansu, the chief deputy hall master of Beichen Hall, was once rumored to skip Master of Hall and directly promoted to Master of Mansion, but in the end, when the dust settled, he was still Master of Palace. This is certainly because Yao Shu has more experience, but it can also be seen that the difference between the two halls.

Recently, there have been rumors that Yao Shu will not move this time and will still be the Master of Mansion of Borneo Daofu. Because if there is no mistake, a child of aristocratic family with a background like him can only go up but not down. Borneo Daofu is already one of the best Daofu, and there is no such thing as going to a better Daofu. There is only Jiutang above, which is too fast, so it is reasonable for Yao Shu not to move.

However, people like Qi Xuansu will move, including Zhang Yuelu.

The old Taoist priests in Borneo have recognized one thing clearly. As long as the Heavenly Master is still there, the True Man Cihang is still there, and Zhang Yuelu always occupies the moral high ground, they basically cannot overthrow Zhang Yuelu.

Since there is no way to overthrow Zhang Yuelu, there is only one way left - to send him out of the country with courtesy.

Miss Zhang, even if we beg you, you should go and harm others quickly, don't harm us. This is the little money we have collected, and these old faces, to help you run relationships, and wish you a promotion.

We think the position of the chief of Tiangang Hall is good. In the past, you were the junior head of Tiangang Hall, and your master Cihang Zhenren was the head of Tiangang Hall. It is the best for you to be the chief deputy head. Isn't it a hundred times better than staying in Nanyang?

In the end, if there is anything, you two will kick the quilt in bed. This is an internal conflict. You can make as much trouble as you want and make any new policies you want. Anyway, the people of Tiangang Hall will have their own headaches, and it has nothing to do with us.

Now it seems that Li Minghuang will have two places to go. One is to strive for the chief deputy head of Tiangang Hall. If he fails, he will go to Dijing Daofu to be the chief deputy head. Zhang Yuelu's main competitor is Li Minghuang.

Although Li Minghuang's character is not very good, he is indeed capable. When Zhang Yuelu was the last deputy head of Tiangang Hall, Li Minghuang was already the third deputy head, second only to the chief and second. Over the years, for some reasons, Li Minghuang has been in Tiangang Hall without moving, and has entered the stage of good fortune. With the support of the Li family, it can be said that he has a great advantage.

However, Zhang Yuelu is also competitive. Cihang Zhenren is the head of Tiangang Hall. Donghua Zhenren, as the head of Ziwei Hall and the chief of Jinque, led the personnel adjustment, as well as the support of the Zhang family, etc., which are not mentioned. Borneo Daofu fully supports Zhang Yuelu's promotion. Qi Xuansu has mastered Li Minghuang's black material and is ready to give Li Minghuang a big one at the critical moment.

What is a critical moment? Now is the critical moment.

As for Qi Xuansu himself, he was basically the first to be determined. He was the first among the four Taoists to be promoted to the position of the head of the Wanxiang Dao Palace.

After Qi Xuansu left, Li Changge would take his place.

If Zhang Yuelu succeeds in being promoted, who will take her place?

Although it has not been completely determined, it is likely to be Xu Jiaorong.

Qi Xuansu played a little role in this matter, but not much.

The main reason is that Lan Da Zhenren spoke personally. He is the head of the Borneo Daofu. His opinion is still very important. Although it is a bit against the rules, Jinque cannot ignore it. This is also a kind of right not to expire. If you wait until Master Lan ascends, then people will be gone and tea will be cold. So Master Lan has to pave the way for Xu Jiaorong while he is still alive, as a last farewell.

The second deputy palace master vacated by Xu Jiaorong, as Qi Xuansu and Master Donghua discussed, let Pei Xiaolou fill it.

Looking at this personnel adjustment, who is not a child of aristocratic family, who has no background and backing, intertwined, really full of new nobles.

Even Qi Xuansu dare not pat his chest and say that he is from a poor family. In a sense, he also relied on nepotism to get to the top. He certainly has some merits, but without this "nepotism", it is hard to say who the credit belongs to, and I am afraid he can't get to the top.

However, Xu Jiaorong did not come for her own affairs this time. Her affairs are probably settled. One generation will take care of another generation. Master Lan came forward for her, and she had to come forward for her adopted son Chen Jianchou.
