Chapter 1: The Sun at Chenshi
In the morning, I went to the Luhe Palace, and in the evening, I had a banquet at the Qingdu Palace.
The banquet at Qingdu is also known as the Four Generations of Good Feast.
The so-called Qingdu is the palace where the Emperor of Heaven lives.
Standing still. Daoist friends accompany me again, Kunlun is a beautiful place, and Yulong Fengyu is in the imperial palace. The golden palace is overlooking, the clear peaks are thousands of miles away, and the water and clouds are eternal. Let's drink together and do heroic deeds. I am happy to be drunk, and the dragon sings. Waiting to record it as a good story, I will count it from the beginning when I return.
…
After Pei Shenfu left Nanyang, Qi Xuansu also "gifted" Li Tianqing out of the country, and it was Jin Gong Zushi who came to pick him up personally.
Unlike Pei Shenfu, Qi Xuansu and Li Tianqing have nothing to say. The conflict between the two of them is simpler. It is just a pure camp confrontation. There are not so many messy relationships involved, so there is no need to say too much.
This Nanyang storm has come to an end.
In fact, there are benefits. Li Tianqing and Wu Guangbi's operation indirectly helped Borneo Daofu to purify the environment, eliminate a group of pests, and even dealt a heavy blow to the power of the old Taoist priests. Now the old Taoist priests hate them to death, even more than Zhang Yuelu. Because Zhang Yuelu only lost money, Li Taiqing directly took his life, and entered Fengxiantang, how can it be good?
As for why Zhang Yuelu didn't use a personnel storm to break the situation, the reason is also very simple. The "Heavenly Court" with a lot of evidence will not listen to Zhang Yuelu, let alone kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of itself.
More importantly, Yao Shu is under a lot of pressure. This is also one of the reasons why Yao Shu has become easy to talk to.
From this aspect, Qi Xuansu also wants to thank Li Taiqing on behalf of Borneo Daofu.
Another thing is that Zhang Yuelu finally came out of seclusion.
As expected by Qi Xuansu, Zhang Yuelu successfully entered the stage of creation. Although he failed to enter the pseudo-immortal in one step, he almost caught up with Qi Xuansu's original body, which is definitely not comparable to the initial stage of creation.
However, Qi Xuansu's original body has already digested the "Xuanyu" and can use the second "Xuanyu" to enter the pseudo-immortal stage. Zhang Yuelu does not have a second "Eternal Pill", and it will take some time to enter the pseudo-immortal stage.
In this way, Zhang Yuelu's appointment is also fast. No matter what, realm cultivation and age are still a big plus point, and the younger the better.
After all, there must be a reason for the explanation. You can't say that you were promoted because of your surname Li, Zhang, or Yao. You still have to cover it up. Realm cultivation is a good explanation. It is difficult for others to directly argue. If someone really argues, you can just say that you have the ability to be promoted.
Li Changge has the highest realm, so the position is also the highest. He also serves as a Taoist envoy, not just the chief of Beichen Hall.
As for Qi Xuansu, he was promoted based on his merits. After all, he didn't go to the Southern Continent for nothing. All these things add up, it is enough to be promoted to the real person in charge of the house.
Because the official appointment has not been made yet, and Zhang Yuelu has to hand over various affairs at hand, so he cannot return to Yujing immediately, and the new chief candidate is naturally decided, that is Xu Jiaorong.
If nothing unexpected happens, Xu Jiaorong will serve as the chief for a long time, and then he will be transferred to Jiutang as the chief deputy hall master, and finally sent out.
Of course, if something unexpected happens, for example, Qi Xuansu takes over the position in advance, that is another story. It is not impossible for Xu Jiaorong to directly take the position of the real person in charge of the mansion. Everything is possible.
In summary, Xu Jiaorong and Pei Xiaolou will serve as the chief deputy mansion master and the second deputy mansion master respectively in Borneo Daofu, Ji Jiaozhen and Chen Jianchou will serve as the third deputy mansion master and the fourth deputy mansion master respectively, responsible for Shenglong Mansion and Lion City respectively.
In addition to Chen Shuwen of Nanyang United Trading Company, Liu Gui of South Borneo Company, Yuheng Star Master of Ziguang Society, Shangguan Ya of Eight Divisions, Huan Ji and Pei Xiaoyun of Fenglinzhou Trading Company, and Chen Jianqiu of Dayu Country, Nanyang is still under the control of Qi Xuansu.
However, Lin Yuanmiao will not stay in Nanyang. He has also been promoted - he will replace Li Minghuang and become the third deputy head of Tiangang Hall. He will go to Beijing with Zhang Yuelu.
He has nothing to hand over. He is drinking at this moment. Pei Xiaolou and Ji Jiaozhen both sighed that the three friends of Nanyang have not been together for long, and they are going to separate. In the future, they will become two friends of Nanyang. There was originally a substitute, Xiao Yin, who also went to Yujing.
Lin Yuanmiao said that although we are not together, the spirit of the three friends of Nanyang remains unchanged, and this past time will always be remembered in our hearts.
For various reasons, Qi Xuansu returned to Yujing alone this time. Before leaving, Qi Xuansu left the "Three Five Male and Female Swords to Slay Evil" to Zhang Yuelu. As for whether Zhang Yuelu should return it to the Heavenly Master, it depends on the Heavenly Master's intention.
Originally, Qi Xuansu wanted to wait a few more days and return to Yujing with Zhang Yuelu, but there were too many things in Yujing.
If the master wants to enter the pseudo-immortal stage, the incarnation must also go back to ensure a whole.
In addition, the official appointment of Qi Xuansu will also be announced.
This is undoubtedly the highlight. After all, he is a real person who can be considered as an official. Although he failed to catch up with the historical record, Qi Xuansu is the youngest among the real people who can be considered as an official.
The order is to promote Qi Xuansu to the real person who can be considered as an official first, and then appoint him as the real person who can be considered as the head of the Wanxiang Dao Palace, and then Qi Xuansu will take up the post.
However, there is a saying that after the wedding night, the name will be on the list of successful candidates.
Therefore, Jinque did not make things difficult for Qi Xuansu in this matter. Under the rules, he also talked about human feelings, letting him get married first, and then officially appointing him to take up the post. Not only did he save the need to ask for leave, but he also fulfilled the principle of being a real person who can be considered as a real person who can be considered as a real person who can be considered as a real person.
Because of this, Qi Xuansu returned to Yujing this time mainly to be promoted to the real person who can be considered as an official.
Counting the high-level members of the Taoist sect, leaving aside the first-grade innocent Taoist priests, the top is Zhenzhen Zhenzhen. There is no fixed number of Pingzhang Da Zhenren, ranging from twelve to seven. The number of Zhenzhen Zhenren is fixed. , that is thirty-six people.
Qi Xuansu will now join the ranks of these thirty-six people and truly become a high-level member of the Taoist sect. When the time comes to elect the Grand Master, Qi Xuansu will also have a vote.
Such an important position naturally requires a promotion ceremony.
Qi Xuansu's promotion ceremony and Wu Niang's promotion ceremony were merged together. The Grand Master should have attended and presided over this ceremony in person. However, since the Taoist sect did not have a Grand Master, the Great Master on duty would step in on his behalf. This is also the original intention of setting up the rotating Grand Master. There are too many ceremonial functions that require the Grand Master to come forward.
Nowadays, the Celestial Master is the rotating Grand Master. If it had been a little later, he would have been the Earth Master.
The specific location where the ceremony was held was Jinque.
Qi Xuansu and Wu Niang set out for Jinque together, and Xiao Yin also followed - she benefited from the two of them, and was invited to watch the ceremony, and could sit in the front row with a large group of real people.
This was not the first time Qi Xuansu came to Jinque. He had already been here once because of the matter in the Southern Continent. His feelings and moods were naturally completely different these two times.
Jinque has already sent someone in advance to deliver the modified ultimatum and the corresponding Taoist crown - because the crane cloak of a real person only has an extra sword belt than the ordinary crane cloak, and the crane cloak of a real person or above is exactly the same, only the Dao crown is different. .
Except for the three deputy head masters, the others all have lotus crowns, the shape is exactly the same, only the material is different. The ordinary master has a gold lotus crown, the Shenzhi master has a white jade lotus crown, and the Pingzhang master has a purple lotus crown.
As for the Grand Master, there are no specific regulations. In theory, you can wear anything, it is in line with nature.
The second-generation Grandmaster likes to dress like a ninth-grade Taoist priest, the third-generation Grandmaster likes to wear ordinary clothes, and the fourth-generation Grandmaster likes to dress like an ordinary real person, but no one can say anything.
The Grand Patriarch of the Five Dynasties was the most strict and specially designed the Grand Patriarch's clothing and crown. He has almost obsessive requirements for the appearance of Taoist priests.
When Qi Xuansu received the white jade lotus crown, he held it in his hand and looked at it, sighing: "This white jade lotus crown is more beautiful than the gold lotus crown."
Wu Niang said unceremoniously: "How can this purple-gold lotus crown be as beautiful as mine? Purple is the most precious color in Taoism, and the Supreme Taoist Patriarch has purple energy that comes from the east of thirty thousand miles!"
Qi Xuansu suggested: "It's better to let Xiao Yin evaluate it."
Xiao Yin looked at the lotus crowns in their hands. He didn't speak in a hurry, and his eyes rolled around.
Wu Niang secretly stuffed a big ticket and used immortal cultivation, but Qi Xuansu didn't notice.
Xiao Yin immediately said: "The purple gold one is beautiful."
Wu Niang picked up Xiao Yin and said proudly: "Look, Xiao Yin's eyes are sharp."
Xiao Yin deliberately blinked hard at Qi Xuansu: "Dear!"
After arriving at Jinque, there were already ceremonial officers in formation, and the real people attending the ceremony arrived one after another. The real people who stayed in Jinque, such as Shenzhi Zhenzhi and Zhang Dazhen, were basically there, including Donghua, Qingwei, and Cihang. See the real person.
Xiao Yin wore a small crane cloak specially customized for her today and blended in. But it is still very conspicuous. In such a place where real people gather, the third-grade Youyi Taoist priest is already very conspicuous, but the key is that it is even more conspicuous because he is a little one. Fortunately, real people are well-informed and are not surprised.
People kept congratulating Wu Niang and Qi Xuansu. In formal occasions, Western etiquette was not allowed. Qi Xuansu returned the congratulations one by one.
Qi Xuansu finally met the Heavenly Master whom he had not seen for a long time, but time was tight and did not allow for more talk. Maybe we could talk about it afterwards.
At the beginning of the ceremony, the Heavenly Master, as the great master on duty, first spoke some words about the scene, probably about how Jinque had welcomed a new member, and the audience expressed their welcome. The Heavenly Master formally introduced the two of them to everyone, which was a bit like a new ceremony.
Then Wu Niang was the first to step forward and stand in front of the Grand Master's throne.
The Heavenly Master took out the "Tai Shang Du Gong Sutra" that he had prepared, and presented it to fellow Taoist Qiwu on behalf of the Taoist sect.
Compared with Taoist crowns and official certificates, this is the most critical proof of identity.
Wu Niang took the sutra basket with both hands.
Then came Qi Xuansu.
The Heavenly Master took out the "Tai Xuan Jing Lu" corresponding to Shenzhi Zhenren.
The Heavenly Master is actually Wuniang’s junior, and it’s hard to say words of encouragement to Wuniang. He can only give simple instructions. However, Qi Xuansu is a junior in every sense, so he said: “From today on, you are the thirty-sixth member of the Taoist sect.” You are a member of Zhenzhi Zhenren. Considering your age, you will probably not stop here. The Tao Sect is ours and yours, but it is yours after all. You are like the sun in Chenshi, and you still have a long way to go. , I place my hope on you and look forward to the day when you will be successful."
Qi Xuansu took the sutra basket with both hands and saluted solemnly.
