Chapter 43 Afterwards (Part 1)
Qi Xuansu did not stay in Bai Yutang's hiding place for long. After getting the "Xuan Jade", he immediately returned the same way, then left the East Oasis and went all the way to Xiping Mansion.
Not long after Qi Xuansu left, Daomen's revenge officially began.
Three "Yinglong" warships swept across the entire West Gobi. There were strong winds, rain, lightning, thunder, and various flames, baptizing the entire West Gobi like a carpet.
All the people who were already trapped here by the people in black suffered immediately. Even the people in black also suffered certain losses. However, from the beginning to the end, the man in black seemed to know that he was in the wrong, and did not react at all. He just huddled in a few thousand-household residences, and these several thousand-household residences became isolated islands that were spared.
After the three "Yinglong" warships left, a large number of spiritual officers directly affiliated with Tiangang Hall arrived and entered several thousand-household houses to arrest all suspicious persons. The man in black left Qianhusuo and retreated to the edge of the West Gobi.
On the other side, people from Kunlun Daofu entered East Oasis and comprehensively searched for all suspicious people.
Different from the small fight last time, or the routine, this time there is a bit of the scene when the Taoist sect fought with the shamans in the Western Region, showing the terrifying strength of the Taoist sect, really killing the city and destroying the country.
In addition, all local governments received orders from Jinque and acted simultaneously to arrest all members of secret societies within their territory, mainly the Lingshan Witch Cult. For a time, thousands of people were arrested by the Taoist sect. They were either executed directly, or thrown into a prison specially set up by the Taoist sect, and they would never see the light of day again in this life.
The wrath of the Tao Sect's thunder was like a huge storm, starting from the West Gobi and spreading in all directions.
The rest of the people who were lucky enough to escape the disaster went into hibernation one after another, waiting for the storm to pass, or in other words, waiting for the Dao Sect to calm down its anger.
As a result, the secret societies that were active and causing trouble some time ago suddenly disappeared, and the eagle and dog killing convention was just a joke. This also made many people realize one thing. The Taoist sect is still the same powerful Taoist sect. What the Taoist sect lacks is not strength, but only a qualified master. When the seventh-generation Grandmaster succeeds in taking over, as long as he does not repeat the mistakes of the Sixth-generation Grandmaster, and as long as the Taoist sect's internal problems can be solved, there will be no external problems.
This reminds people of the famous saying of the Sixth Dynasty Grand Master: "The most serious troubles in Taoism are never outside, they are inside the Taoism, in this golden palace."
Of course, there is also the famous saying of the fourth generation of great masters: "I am among you, and you are among me. This is where everything goes wrong in the world."
Although the words of the Fourth Generation Chief Master were directed at the imperial court and the Taoist sect, they would not conflict if applied to the current situation.
However, these have nothing to do with Qi Xuansu. Because of Qin Wubing and Qin Xiang, he was not listed as a suspicious person. Now he has three certificates on his body, one is the Dao Sect's ultimatum, and the other is the Qingpinghui's fish charm. , one copy is the waist badge of the man in black.
Even if you meet someone from the Taoist sect, as long as you show the waist card of the man in black, you can get through without any obstruction.
Although many secret society members have dual identities, not everyone can do this. Most ordinary secret society members only have the identity of "demon".
From this point of view, Qi Xuansu is not an ordinary member of the secret society.
Qi Xuansu returned to Xiping Mansion without any hindrance. Although Xiping Mansion has been under martial law, the investigation of the men in black at the gate is very strict, and relevant proofs such as road directions must be presented. People like Qi Xuansu, whose waist is full of various weapons, are even more strict. The target of the key investigation, but Qi Xuansu was directly let go after showing the waistband. The sentry officer who was originally a little unkind also became kind.
After Qi Xuansu passed the checkpoint, he casually chatted with the sentry here: "Isn't the case of the eagle and dog killing conference some time ago ended? What happened today?"
The sentry officer said: "Brother, don't you know? It's not caused by the demon hunter, and it's not just today. It's been like this for several days. But if you ask me, it's time to clean it up ruthlessly. No one can suffer this kind of trouble all day long. live."
Qi Xuansu said: "There is no way, I have been on the road and the news is blocked."
The sentry asked: "Brother, are you coming from the west?"
"I just came from the West Gobi." Qi Xuansu said half-seriously, "It's quite confusing."
"Who says otherwise?" The sentry officer obviously regarded Qi Xuansu as a colleague of the men in black, and he knew everything. "I heard that Daomen has entered the West Gobi, but I don't know whether it is true or not. It seems that over there, Something big must have happened.”
Qi Xuansu had seen the "Yinglong" floating on the surface of Lake Cuowenbu with his own eyes. Naturally, he knew what big event had happened. He said calmly: "It's all matters from above. It has nothing to do with us little people. It's just a job."
"Who says it's not the case?" said the sentry officer, "I want to have a happy life in a few days."
Qi Xuansu clasped his fists and said, "Brother, I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now. I'll treat you to a drink next time."
"Easy to say, easy to say." The sentry officer didn't take it seriously and returned the salute with his fists clasped.
Qi Xuansu entered the city and planned to find a place to rest. Logically speaking, the Taiping Inn opened by Daomen was undoubtedly the best place to go. However, Qi Xuansu was short of money now and only had three hundred Taiping money left, so he needed to save some money. , so after thinking about it for a while, he decided to go to the Qingpinghui contact point in the city.
I just don’t know if there will be any changes at the contact point if the news is so tight.
When Qi Xuansu arrived at the contact point, he found that it was safe and sound. However, after thinking about it carefully, it was reasonable. The contact point of Qingpinghui was only open to internal members, not like "Inn" and Qibaofang, which were open for business. Moreover, Qingpinghui took the elite route, and its members were more valuable than quantity. Unlike other secret societies that often had tens of thousands of people, Qingpinghui was the most secretive among all the major secret societies.
More importantly, Qingpinghui had a close relationship with Taoism and had connections among the high-level Taoists. As long as Qingpinghui was not specifically targeted, it would not be affected too much.
Qi Xuansu quietly came to the contact point. The woman received him, arranged accommodation for him, and provided clothes, food, medicine and hot water.
After Qi Xuansu washed up, he began to carefully think about his next path.
Although he still had a piece of "Death Xuanyu", "Xuanyu" needed to be activated by divine power or incense and willpower, and he had no clue for the time being. It would be better to take "Blood Pill" first. If he could enter the stage of returning to the truth, it would be easier to find divine power next.
However, the medicinal power of "Blood Pill" is quite good. Qi Xuansu can't take it rashly. He still needs to make some preparations. The key is a thing called "Jade Liquid Wine".
As the saying goes, "Golden Pill Jade Liquid", the so-called "Golden Pill", gold means something that is hard and permanent; Dan means something that is perfect, bright and pure. The ancient immortals borrowed the name of Golden Pill to describe the original round and bright true spirit. This nature is called Tai Chi in Confucianism, Yuanjue in Buddhism, and Golden Pill in Taoism. Although the names are divided into three, it is actually one thing. Confucianism cultivates it to become a saint, Buddhism cultivates it to become a Buddha, and Taoism cultivates it to become an immortal.
The so-called Golden Pill Avenue is by no means to cultivate a golden pill in the body, that is a side door and inferior. The real Golden Pill Avenue is to use the body as a furnace, the essence and qi in the body as bait and medicine, and the spirit as fire. The three are unified to achieve immortality.
Jade liquid is the condition and foundation for achieving the golden elixir. The Taoist Huashengtang refined "Jade Liquid Wine" through the concept of "Jade Liquid". It itself cannot improve the realm of cultivation, but it can help people refine the medicinal power and avoid various troubles.
If Qi Xuansu was still in Tiangangtang, it would not be difficult to buy "Jade Liquid Wine" from Huashengtang. At most, he could ask Zhang Yuelu to buy it for him, which would be simple. But now that Qi Xuansu has lost his Taoist identity, it is difficult to buy it. He can only try his luck in the black market of Qibaofang.
However, in this case, there are two problems. One is that the wind is very tight now. Qibaofang is affected and may not open for business. The second is that Qi Xuansu is short of money. Even if he finds the black market, he does not have enough Taiping money.
Where to get money? There is no need to think about Qi Niang. In this matter, Qi Niang will definitely not let go, and as Qi Niang said, you can't get too much.
Originally, the "Inn" was a good choice, but unfortunately Qi Xuansu didn't want to go to the "Inn" again in the short term because of the workshop, so he had to find another way.
