Chapter 46 Human Dart (Part 2)
Qi Xuansu asked softly: "What does this have to do with the so-called human bodyguards? Could they be the children of Marquis Fang Lin?"
"Of course not." Qiniang said, "Fang Linhou is involved in so many secrets and inside stories. How can those people behind him, including bosses, friends, colleagues, and subordinates, leave his family alone? That's not the case. Something you can intervene in.”
Qi Xuansu breathed a sigh of relief.
Of course he knew that it was not something he could interfere with. With Zhang Yuelu's cultivation at such a high level, and the care of Master Cihang, the Heavenly Master, and the Earth Master, he had a narrow escape from death. If he got involved rashly, wouldn't it mean ten deaths and no life?
It's like killing someone's parents. It's a life-and-death feud. Who cares what your background is and what your backers are.
Qi Xuansu asked: "Then who is it?"
Qiniang said: "The major case in Jiangnan involves not only one Fang Linhou, but also many people. Among those people, some actively participated, some passively participated, some killed people who were not unjust, and some innocently took the blame. They all know more or less the inside story, and they all have wives and children.”
"What I'm talking about is a small character. He was just a person who handled specific tasks. As early as when Beichen Hall first started investigating, he was silenced by his own people. He didn't even live to see the gate of Fengxian Hall. This man's wife died. , he only had one daughter. He seemed to have had a premonition, so he entrusted his daughter to someone else in advance, that is, the old friend I mentioned earlier. "
"Over the years, this old friend of mine has been taking care of the little girl, as if he had adopted an adopted daughter. But now something has happened, and my old friend needs to travel far away, and he cannot take the little girl with him. Don't worry about her. After all, some people have been trying to wrap things up over the years, including the assassination of Zhang Yuelu. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
Qi Xuansu nodded and said, "Understood."
Qiniang said: "There is no need to trouble heaven and earth with this matter. It is too fussy, and the cost is too high. The asking price is too expensive, so it is not cost-effective. But the realm cultivation is too weak and it is also inappropriate. It is easy to lose one's life." . Now that you are on the Ruyi Ranking, you can also fight against those who are in the stage of returning to true nature. What do you think?"
Qi Xuansu thought for a moment and said, "I think we can continue."
Qiniang said: "Okay, I will give you an address. You go to see him. He may try your skills. You should pay attention."
Qi Xuansu nodded to note it.
Qiniang wrote an address on the account book in her hand, then tore it off from the account book and slapped Qi Xuansu on the forehead. The piece of paper was directly integrated into Qi Xuansu's body, and the corresponding content appeared in his mind. .
The specific address is somewhere in Longmen Mansion, Zhongzhou. It is accurate to the specific alley. Qi Xuansu will not let Qi Xuansu wander around like a headless fly looking for Bai Yutang.
Zhongzhou, as the name suggests, is among the world. Although this dynasty did not have its capital here, thirteen dynasties in the past have established their capitals here. In addition to emperors and generals, sages also emerged in endlessly. Taoism began here, and Confucianism originated here. Here, Confucian classics flourished here, Buddhism was first transmitted here, metaphysics was formed here, and Neo-Confucianism originated here. Therefore, Zhongzhou is known as the largest state in the world, and Longmen Mansion is the capital of Zhongzhou and the former capital of the Nine Dynasties. , Peony Flower City.
For Qi Xuansu, this is a second hometown that is both familiar and unfamiliar.
He said he was familiar with it because Longmen Mansion was where the Wanxiang Taoist Palace was located, and he spent his childhood and youth here.
It's strange because the lower palace of Wanxiang Dao Palace is isolated from the outside world and they can't go out.
It can be said that Qi Xuansu has lived in the land of Longmen Mansion for more than ten years, but he doesn't know anything about it. After growing up, he never came back.
Qi Xuansu is currently in Xiping Mansion in Yongzhou, and the journey to Longmen Mansion in Zhongzhou is not short. We must first go to Tianshui Mansion in Liangzhou, then go from Tianshui Mansion to Xijing Mansion in Qinzhou, then transfer from Qinzhou to Zhongzhou, and finally arrive at Longmen Mansion.
If you don’t count mountains and rivers, and only count official roads, the total journey is about three thousand miles. Even if Qi Xuansu traveled a thousand miles a day, it would still take three days. What's more, Qi Xuansu doesn't have the ability to travel thousands of miles a day. In the past, there was no "communication talisman array". There was often talk of a few hundred miles a day, and the fastest could be five hundred miles a day, but the premise was that there was a station at twenty miles. Horses are constantly changed, so each horse can run at full strength, even if the horse is exhausted, and it still runs day and night.
Qi Xuansu didn't have this condition, and he didn't want to tire himself or his horse to death. He would only walk about two hundred miles a day, and excluding overnight stays, it would be about a hundred miles a day.
Calculated in this way, three thousand miles is a journey of nearly a month, at least twenty days.
After Qi Xuansu roughly estimated the time, he asked: "I used to take a month, can he wait?"
Qiniang said: "You can wait. He is a stable person. He will not think of arranging these things until the last moment. They are all arranged in advance. So he still has two months. As long as you can arrive within two months, That’s it.”
Qi Xuansu asked: "What's the specific reward?"
Qiniang stretched out a finger: "One thousand Taiping coins is enough for you to buy 'Yu Ye Liquor'."
Qi Xuansu said: "Okay, that's it."
"Then I will send him a message immediately, and you should be ready to go." A fish talisman appears in Qiniang's hand. As long as the connection is established, even if the "dream meeting" is not in the "dream meeting", you can still send messages and messages through the fish talisman.
After Qi Xuansu said goodbye to Qiniang, he left the "Dream Meeting" and began to prepare for the next journey.
…
After Shangguan Jing's body was transported back, the consensus reached by Jinque was not to pursue any responsibility, but to give him praise and posthumous honor.
So Shangguan Jing's body passed through Shangqing Street, passed through Taiqing Square, and was transported to Xuandu, where he stayed for seven days, and was prayed for by Taoist priests in the Temple of Sacrifice, and then transported to the tomb of the Temple of Sacrifice for burial.
During the seven days of staying, various assistants came to worship one after another, which was an unprecedented grand occasion. However, everyone understood that this was a stage built with funeral ceremonies, and the good show had not yet begun.
Sure enough, the day after Shangguan Jing was buried, Jinque held another meeting with only one purpose. If the dead are not held accountable, the living must be held accountable, and the first to bear the brunt is the head of Tiangang Hall.
Involving an assistant, this is a big deal. The Heavenly Master who has been dormant in the Great Master's Mansion of Yunjin Mountain, and the Earth Master who has just returned to the Wanshou Chongyang Palace of Difei Mountain, all returned to Zifu and participated in this Jinque meeting.
In this regard, the head of Tiangang Hall was well prepared, and he submitted his resignation to Jinque.
Lingge felt guilty towards Jinque and the dead disciples of Tiangang Hall. His crime was not to be called stupid. How could he be the head of Tiangang Hall? Please allow Jinque to dismiss me from the position of head of Tiangang Hall, and Lingge would be grateful and tearful.
The signature was Ning Lingge, the name of the head of Tiangang Hall.
The current rotating great master, the national teacher, agreed to Ning Lingge's resignation on behalf of Jinque, but he still retained his status as a participating master and could still participate in Jinque's deliberations.
The next step was to nominate a new head of Tiangang Hall. On this matter, the three great masters disagreed. The national teacher nominated Qingwei Zhenren, while the heavenly master and the earthly master reached a consensus and jointly nominated Cihang Zhenren as the new head of Tiangang Hall. The reason was that Cihang Zhenren arrived in time and saved "Yinglong" and other survivors, and it was most appropriate for her to take over Tiangang Hall.
Although the Imperial Master was the rotating Grand Master, he could not veto the two deputy Grand Masters. In addition, since the merits of Master Cihang were there, he had no choice but to agree. As a compromise, the Heavenly Master and the Earthly Master also agreed to another proposal of the Imperial Master.
In this way, Master Cihang would no longer be the Master of the Duzhi Hall, but would be the Master of the Tiangang Hall. The former Master of the Beichen Hall would be appointed as the Master of the Qizhou Daofu, Master Qingwei would be appointed as the Master of the Beichen Hall, and the Master of the Duzhi Hall would be replaced by the Chief Deputy Master of the Duzhi Hall.
