Chapter 3: Unified Statement
Qi Xuansu followed Pei Xiaolou to Zhenwu Temple.
"Is Qingxiao not here?" Qi Xuansu asked a little nervously.
"No, he went out to visit people." Pei Xiaolou replied. After working together for some time, he was really afraid of this junior, who was afraid of the word "serious" in everything.
Qi Xuansu breathed a sigh of relief. He was not fully prepared to meet Zhang Yuelu.
To be fair, Qi Xuansu was not a submissive person when meeting a woman, and he had no intention of pretending to be a henpecked person. The reason why he was afraid of Zhang Yuelu was not because Zhang Yuelu had a higher status or a strong personality, but because he deceived Zhang Yuelu and knew that he was in the wrong, so he really couldn't be tough.
Qi Xuansu asked again: "Who are we going to see?"
"Your immediate boss." Pei Xiaolou answered casually.
As they were talking, the two came to a single-family courtyard. Two spiritual officials were guarding the door. After seeing Pei Xiaolou, they saluted and let him go directly.
Although they were spiritual officials of Ziwei Hall, and Pei Xiaolou belonged to the Wanshou Chongyang Palace of the local Daofu, everyone knew that the elder brother and wife of this real person were both high-ranking officials of Ziwei Hall. They were not from Ziwei Hall, but they were better than people from Ziwei Hall, so they naturally did not dare to neglect them.
Soon, Qi Xuansu saw the tall Lei Xiaohuan in the study.
Qi Xuansu saluted Lei Xiaohuan according to the rules of superiors and subordinates.
"Tianyuan, I haven't seen you for a while." Lei Xiaohuan waved her hand, indicating that Qi Xuansu did not need to be polite. Although her realm and cultivation were very high, she was somewhat similar to Ji Daoren. Most of the time, she was just a figurehead and did not participate in various affairs. Occasionally, she served as the special envoy of Donghua Zhenren, and was not very used to these rules and customs.
Qi Xuansu said: "After we parted at Xijing Mansion, I never thought that the Purple Fairy Mountain case would be involved."
Pei Xiaolou said with a smile: "It was also thanks to the Purple Fairy Mountain case. The last Jiangnan case made Zhang Yuelu enter the eyes of the geomancer and rise to prominence. This time, the Purple Fairy Mountain case made you enter the eyes of my brother. If it weren't for this case, it would not be so easy for you to return to the Taoist sect."
Seeing that Qi Xuansu was a little confused, Lei Xiaohuan added: "During the last Jiangnan case, Master Donghua proposed to use Fang Linhou as a wedge to carve a gap in the black curtain and completely solve the problem, but unfortunately it failed. The Purple Fairy Mountain case is undoubtedly the second chance."
"I see." Qi Xuansu suddenly realized that it seemed that the struggle between the two factions had already begun as early as the Jiangnan case, but it was still under the table at that time, at most it was an undercurrent, and this time it was almost moved to the surface.
"Okay, let's talk business." Lei Xiaohuan sat behind the desk, "Sit down and talk, no need to be restrained."
Qi Xuansu sat down at the lower position of Pei Xiaolou.
Lei Xiaohuan slightly considered her words and said, "I don't like to beat around the bush, just say whatever you want to say directly, mainly six points. First, starting from the fifth day of May, you are no longer a disciple of Zhengyi Dao, and return to Quanzhen Dao. Do you have any objection?"
According to convention, after the Taoist children of Wanxiang Dao Palace enter the Taoist sect, they are assumed to be disciples of Quanzhen Dao. This is exactly what Bai Yingqiong said that Wanxiang Dao Palace constantly transfuses blood to Quanzhen Dao. However, it is not absolute. In order to balance the three paths, high-quality Taoist priests of Zhengyi Dao and Taiping Dao can also accept Taoist children of Wanxiang Dao Palace as disciples. If the master is a Zhengyi Daoist, then the disciple is classified as Zhengyi Dao, and if the master is a Taiping Daoist, then the disciple is classified as Taiping Dao.
Qi Xuansu's master Qi Haoran is a Zhengyi Daoist, so Qi Xuansu was also classified as a Zhengyi Daoist.
However, Qi Xuansu only has feelings for his master, and has no obsession with the Zhengyi Dao. The last trip to Yunjin Mountain made him lose all his good impression of the Zhengyi Dao. On the contrary, Pei Xiaolou, Lei Xiaohuan, and Ji Daoren of Quanzhen Dao have done him a favor, and even Donghua Zhenren, whom he has never met, has a better impression of Quanzhen Dao.
Although Zhang Yuelu is a member of the Zhengyi Dao, she has a close relationship with the Earth Master. She even thought about joining the Quanzhen Dao. Moreover, Zhang Yuelu cares about the entire Dao, not the interests of a family or surname. She should not object to him joining the Quanzhen Dao.
Among the three Daos, the one that really has a grudge against Qi Xuansu is the Taiping Dao. Shen Yuyi, Shen Mingshu, Su Ran, Liu Futong, Lu Yunfeng, Li Tianzhen, and the matter of "Xuan Yu" are all involved in the Taiping Dao.
Qi Xuansu said, "As long as you don't join the Taiping Dao, I have no objection."
"Of course we won't let you join the Taiping Dao." Lei Xiaohuan smiled, "Second point, you already know that you have been transferred to Ziwei Hall. On this point, Donghua Zhenren and Cihang Zhenren have communicated. Cihang Zhenren already knows about you, but at Donghua Zhenren's request, Cihang Zhenren did not tell Zhang Yuelu about this. We decided to leave this opportunity to you."
Qi Xuansu smiled bitterly, not knowing what to say.
It can only be said that these big men still know how to sympathize with the little people. It's not about whether they can, but whether they want to.
Lei Xiaohuan continued, "Third point, about your promotion to a fifth-grade Taoist priest. I have to say that thanks to Zhang Yuelu, this little girl is also very affectionate. Even if you encountered an accident, she still went against the crowd and kept your position. She reported your disappearance instead of your death. In addition, she did not forget to ask for credit for you, and she was not afraid that all these credits would go down the drain."
"The two of you who destroyed the ancient immortal's 'Shenjiang' are counted as one 'Di Zi Gong', which is three 'Xuan Zi Gong'. Excluding half of the imperial court, there are still one 'Xuan Zi Gong' and two 'Huang Zi Gong' ', plus the five bosses, there are a total of six 'Xuan Zi Gong' and two 'Huang Zi Gong'. You already have two 'Huang Zi Gong', plus one 'Huang Zi Gong' and two. One 'Xuanzi Gong' will make up three 'Xuanzi Gong', which is enough for you to be promoted from a seventh-grade Taoist priest to a fifth-grade Taoist priest. However, due to the age suspension system, you can only enjoy the upgrade to a sixth-grade Taoist priest. The treatment of a fifth-grade Taoist priest.”
"However, it is a great achievement for you to uncover the big case of Zixian Mountain. This case is a bit sensitive. I can't give you credit overtly, so I can only reward you secretly. So Ziweitang made an exception and promoted you to a fifth-grade Taoist priest and a candidate for sacrificial wine." treatment."
Qi Xuansu nodded to express his understanding.
Lei Xiaohuan said: "The fourth point is how you survived. No matter who asks or investigates, there is only one answer. It was Master Donghua who saved you, and he saved you afterwards. Otherwise, Donghua cannot be explained. Why didn't Mr. Hua save other people? If someone asks for specific details, just say you don't know. You just know that you are unconscious at the time and it is reasonable to ask them directly. Donghua Zhenren.”
Qi Xuansu said clearly: "This is a good statement."
There are many people who can question Qi Xuansu, but there are almost no people who are qualified to question Donghua. The three deputy head masters, Da Zhenren, certainly have this qualification, but they all have many things to do and will not waste their time for a small person.
"Fifth point, after you were rescued, why didn't you return to Tiangang Hall." Lei Xiaohuan glanced at the note written in advance, "Because Master Donghua has arranged a special errand for you. This errand is top secret. If anyone asks Get up and ask them to ask me, or ask Master Donghua directly."
Qi Xuansu asked: "What if Qing Xiao asked about it and answered like this?"
"Of course you can't answer that." Pei Xiaolou continued, "Your special mission is to investigate the 'Taoist people who secretly hold umbrellas for secret societies,' or 'umbrella-holders' for short. You appeared in Cuowenbu for Investigating Bai Yutang; appearing in Xijing Prefecture and being chased by Feng Bo was to investigate the 'Tianting'; as for Zixian Mountain, Jiangling Prefecture, Wannian County, and Bohai Prefecture, they were related to Taiping. It is related to Taoism and belongs to the category of umbrella holders. Because the big case of Zixian Mountain has not been concluded, these can not be regarded as merits, but they can be regarded as hard work. This is the reason why you were promoted to the Taoist priests. As for Qin Wubing, Qin Gongfu and his son. Bian, I have already explained it, no matter who checks it, it will be flawless."
"Stop talking big words. If anything goes wrong, you are the only one to ask." Lei Xiaohuan glanced at him.
Pei Xiaolou coughed lightly: "Don't worry, don't worry."
Lei Xiaohuan finally said: "The sixth point is, why can't you reveal your identity? You can also blame it on Donghua Master and the errand, but how to avoid making the little girl sad, that depends on your ability."
Pei Xiaolou helped: "We have done everything we can, but we can't do everything. You can always do something."
Qi Xuansu smiled bitterly and said, "This is natural."
Lei Xiaohuan said: "In my opinion, Miss Zhang is a girl who understands the general situation. She is open-minded and has a great temper. She won't care about such small things, so you don't have to worry too much."
Qi Xuansu sighed: "Even if she doesn't care, I still care."
Lei Xiaohuan glanced at him: "You still have a conscience, unlike Pei Xiaolou, who is a murderer."
"You're talking about other people's affairs. Why does it involve me again?" Pei Xiaolou said anxiously.
Lei Xiaohuan ignored him and continued: "Before this, I was not familiar with Ms. Zhang Yuelu and Zhang, but during the time I spent working with her, I admire her very much, both in her attitude and behavior. Tianyuan, you can’t let me down. To put it bluntly, after passing this village, there will be no such store. "
Qi Xuansu said seriously: "This is natural."
Lei Xiaohuan changed the subject: "But you don't have to belittle yourself. I think your level of cultivation is not as good as Zhang Yuelu's, but you have already reached the sixth or seventh floor of the return to true stage. With your background in the Wanxiang Dao Palace, without the help of your family, there is no With the help of my master, I am alone. Even if I have Qiniang to guide me and have some chance encounters, I still have the experience of narrow escape. In the end, I have to risk my life. I remember that the last time I saw you, you broke an arm. It was very painful. It’s miserable. From this point of view, it’s not bad at all.”
Qi Xuansu just said: "Master Lei is ridiculously complimentary."
Lei Xiaohuan looked at him intently for a while, then suddenly smiled and said: "Let's put aside these external things, just talk about being a human being. Although I am a rough man, I am also a woman, and I can still notice something. She is so desperate, of course, It's because of your seriousness in doing things, but it's also because of the melancholy in your heart. But you risked your life to save her, and you really deserve her friendship. What does this mean? I don't understand romance. In my opinion, , this is a match made in heaven. Tantai Qiong doesn't like you because she is blind. Just be yourself and marry Zhang Yuelu in the future. If the Zhang family doesn't come to drink your wedding wine, we will come to drink your wedding wine instead. I'm afraid A bird."
