Chapter 74 Going to Beimang
As Zhang Yuelu said, Qi Xuansu's understanding is not bad, but he just can't keep up.
Zhang Yuelu's statement that her understanding is not bad is naturally based on herself, and she is a genius herself, which shows that Qi Xuansu's understanding is indeed very good. As for the argument that Qi Xuansu can't keep up, it can be seen from the fact that Qi Xuansu wasted more than 20 years and was still spinning in the Kunlun stage.
In Taoist terms, Qi Xuansu was born with an exquisite heart and a fully open mind, but his body was like a broken ship and was destined not to run fast.
Therefore, Qi Xuansu's boxing learning process can be described as smooth and uneven.
Shun refers to a lot of theoretical things, Qi Xuansu can understand them almost in one point, and Lei Xiaohuan doesn't have to waste any time.
Unsatisfactory means that Qi Xuansu's brain has learned it, but his body has not. This makes Qi Xuansu seem to be able to learn it at once, but he seems not to have learned it at the same time.
This is the difference between geniuses like Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu.
In this regard, Lei Xiaohuan had no choice but to do so. This kind of inner understanding cannot be used, there is no other good way but to practice it repeatedly. But she was also a little lucky that Qi Xuansu, a good person, at least wouldn't be angry with the teacher. It was just that the master brought him in to practice alone, and the teacher could let go.
If you have that kind of elm-headed head, you can't understand it no matter how you teach it, and you can't even get it through the door. That would make you mad to death.
After Lei Xiaohuan finished teaching boxing, he left Taiping Inn. Because "Little Tiangang" sent back the news, although Feng Bo was injured, he was not able to kill him, let alone bring him to justice. She heard that Uncle Feng was active in Yongzhou recently and planned to visit Yongzhou. If Uncle Feng escapes back to Lingnan, then forget it. If she still stayed in Yongzhou, she would find Uncle Feng and kill him.
It's not that I want to vent my anger on Qi Xuansu, it's just that I haven't moved my muscles for a long time and I plan to stretch them.
Pei Xiaolou agreed with this with both hands and was not worried about his wife's safety. After all, his wife is a genuine martial artist in the Infinite Stage, with ever-changing realms. She is considered outstanding among many real people. Even if the Feng Boyu Masters from the "Heavenly Court" come together, they may not be able to do anything to her.
At this point, Pei Xiaolou has learned his lesson through blood and tears.
If he can't beat him, he can't beat him. Who makes him not as good as his brother?
After Lei Xiaohuan left, Pei Xiaolou talked to Qi Xuansu about many things about his wife. Although she was also a Taoist disciple now, she was so dissatisfied with this status that she didn't have any position now. If it weren't for Donghua above, Even though the master of the house, Zhenren, has the rank of a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest, his status in the Taoist sect is not high.
After all, there is strength in numbers. Feng Bo's realm is high, but he is chased by the people of "Little Tiangang" and flees in embarrassment. Who makes "Little Tiangang" have more people? One person who has returned to his true nature cannot defeat you, but ten people who have returned to his true nature can always defeat you. If you want to have a large number of people in the Taoist sect, it is not enough to have a high level. The position is very important, otherwise there will be no competition for the title of Grand Master.
Of course, there is only a position without a foundation of realm and cultivation, and it is impossible to convince the public. The two complement each other and are indispensable.
Going deeper, wrist ability is also required. The Sixth Generation Grand Master not only had the position of Grand Master, but also had an ascension in cultivation. However, due to various factors, he was still controlled by the three deputy masters, Da Zhenren. In the end, he became disheartened and ascended ahead of schedule. However, the five generations of great masters had the same level of cultivation and position, but the Dao Dao Sect had no objections at all. The deputy master, Da Zhenren, even changed at the slightest suggestion. He was called by later generations of Taoists, "if you don't see the five generations of masters, "I don't know who is the leader", this is a question of character and ability.
After a lot of gossip, Pei Xiaolou had to go about his own business. He came down for inspection this time, and the specific situation would eventually be reported to the Earth Master in a formal document.
The Earth Master could just ask Pei Xiaolou to state it face to face without reading it, but Pei Xiaolou had to write it down.
Don't underestimate writing official documents, because the Taoist sect prohibits hiring staff and masters, so except for those who are born with pens, most people have to write a draft first, then revise it repeatedly, and finally copy it.
Of course, there are policies from above and countermeasures from below. Many high-ranking people leave such matters to their close disciples. After the disciples have written it, they can read it and approve it, and then they can copy it. In this way, it can not only train the disciples and enable them to get in touch with affairs as early as possible, but also save themselves the trouble. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone. There are also many disciples who have risen to great heights because of their good writing, which is regarded as a shortcut to the end of the world, second only to blood relatives.
This also makes many Taoist people dissatisfied, thinking that judging superiority based on articles is equivalent to the Confucian imperial examination which is not a Confucian imperial examination, or an imperial examination unique to the Taoist sect.
It's a pity that Pei Xiaolou didn't accept a disciple, so naturally he had no one to write for him, so he had to write it himself.
Qi Xuansu was almost recovering from his injuries and decided to leave Xijing Mansion and continue to Longmen Mansion, which was not far away.
During the Daqi period, Xijing Mansion and Longmen Mansion were named together, and one in the east and one in the west were known as the two capitals.
There is Beimang Mountain between them.
After the Empress Mingkong replaced the Li family, she moved the capital to Longmen Mansion and carried out extensive construction. In addition to building the Wanxiang Shrine, the predecessor of the Wanxiang Taoist Palace, she also built a summer palace in Beimang Mountain. During the Double Ninth Festival, people go to Beimang. There is an endless stream of tourists, and there is an allusion to the saying: "People live in the city and have no relief, so please go to the north for a while." The evening view of Mang Mountain is even known as one of the eight scenic spots. Whenever the sun sets, thousands of lights are like There are many stars in the sky. From the distance, you can have a panoramic view of Yiluo Erchuan.
Later, the palace was destroyed in the war of the Golden Horde and was occupied by a powerful tree demon. When the Dao Sect and Daxuan won the world, they subdued the demons here and rebuilt this place, making it the location of the Zhongzhou Daofu.
That demon also became a disciple of the Zhongzhou Dao Sect. Many people who advocate not to kill demons and ghosts regard it as a good example. However, in the past hundred years, the tree demon has rarely appeared, and I don’t know if it is still in the world.
However, those who oppose it also have something to say. Dragons are also demons. In order to build a large number of flying boats, the Dao Sect almost killed all the dragons near the rivers and lakes, and the remaining dragons all fled to the deep sea. Now the Dao Sect will occasionally organize fleets to go to the deep sea to kill dragons. I haven’t seen you refuse to take the flying boat. If you really have such a broad mind and such backbone, why don’t you walk to Kunlun Yujing to report? Do you say that tree demons, snake demons, and fox demons are demons, but dragons are not?
In short, the two factions argued endlessly and often talked about this matter. The tree demon no longer appeared, which was probably related to this.
In addition, Beimang Mountain was once the foundation of the Taoist branch Gezao Dao. There was a branch in Gezao Dao that reversed the two words "Gezao" in Gezao Dao and turned it into "Zaoge", which led to evil ways. Because Beimang Mountain was mostly the mausoleum of emperors, ghosts and zombies were raised here, making Beimang Mountain, a good Feng Shui treasure land, turned into a ghost area. In broad daylight, it was filled with ghosts, gloomy and ghosts, and ordinary people dared not enter.
If it happened to be a time of chaos, with starving people and dead bodies everywhere, it was a time of great prosperity. At that time, the Golden Horde conquered half of the land of Dajin, and the cavalry slaughtered cities and plundered land wherever they went. At that time, Jiangbei was a thousand miles of barren land, nine out of ten houses were empty, corpses piled up in the fields, people moved south, Hudi were everywhere, and there were countless Jingguans, which was like purgatory on earth.
At that time, Zaoge Sect built the "Ghost Kingdom Cave Heaven" in Beimang Mountain, leading thousands of ghosts into Beimang, raising countless corpse soldiers and ghosts, making Zaoge Sect's power flourish and known as half of Taoism. After sweeping the world without any rivals, Zaoge Sect turned its attention to a higher level, that is, the legendary gods in the sky, intending to create immortals with human power.
This is not only the predecessor of the Taoist creation project, but also the predecessor of the Eight Divisions and Zhiming Sect.
After Xuansheng defeated Zaoge Sect, some people chose to surrender to Taoism. Xuansheng merged Gezao Dao into Quanzhen Dao, and Quanzhen Dao was responsible for the creation project.
After Quanzhen Dao took over, on the one hand, it was committed to restoring the old appearance of Beimang Mountain, cleaning up all kinds of ghosts and zombies left by Zaoge Sect, and removing the Yin Qi, so that Beimang Mountain would be beautiful again, instead of being covered by Yin Qi. On the other hand, two huge workshops comparable to the county town were built on the basis of Zaoge Sect, inheriting the various legacies of Zaoge Sect's intention to create immortals with human power.
When the system was later reformed, these two huge workshops were taken over by Huashengtang.
Because of this, Feng Bo regarded the Beimang Mountain line as the core sphere of influence of Taoism and did not dare to set foot easily.
Originally, Qi Xuansu was also a little hesitant about whether to take this route. After all, this is the location of Huashengtang's workshop. There is a precedent of Cowenbu's workshop. Although it is not prohibited to pass through here, it is also heavily guarded. After all, he has lost his identity as a Taoist.
However, Pei Xiaolou helped him solve this problem and gave him a waist badge. This waist badge was specially set up by the Taoist sect for people in the imperial court, because the Taoist sect often cooperated with the imperial court, such as the Tianji Hall and the Shenji Camp jointly developed firearms, etc., and it was inevitable that people in the imperial court would have difficulty in entering and leaving, and this waist badge could serve as a pass. Therefore, this waist badge can be used together with Qin Wubing's waist badge to avoid many inspections of the Taoist sect.
Because only the second-grade Taiyi Taoist priests are qualified to issue this waist badge, if you want to sneak into the confidential place of the Taoist sect, you must cooperate with the inside and outside, or the high-level Taoist priests are careless, otherwise why do you say that the biggest problem of the Taoist sect has always been within itself, not just the external enemies.
For this reason, after the tragedy of the Tso Wenbu workshop, the Taoist sect strictly enforced the system and determined the responsibility. In other words, whoever issued the waist badge with a problem will be directly held accountable. In this way, all the true people have become very cautious in issuing waist badges, and dare not issue them casually as in the past. Moreover, when entering the workshop, there will be a more detailed inspection process to confirm that the waist badge is indeed owned by the person himself, rather than obtained through other means.
However, Qi Xuansu did not go inside the workshop, but just passed by Beimang Mountain, so he would not check so strictly, and just a waist badge was enough.
