Chapter 57 Taiyi Cloud Clothes

Zhang Yuelu stood up and said: "Not to mention the water wells everywhere, there are three key water sources, one is the river outside the city, one is Zhenwu Lake in the city, and the other is the Qinhuai River that passes through the city. "

Qi Xuansu followed Zhang Yuelu's train of thought and said: "Zhenwu Lake is impossible. It's too sensitive there. It's located in the center of Daomen's nose. Even if it's dark under the lamp, it's not possible. It's not that we don't want to, but that we can't do it. "

"As for the big river, it is now the flood season in summer. Its water flow is large and its self-purification ability is strong, which is the peak of the year. Furthermore, there is a lot of rain this year, and there is even the possibility of floods. There are floods everywhere. Prepare for flood control, so the flow of the river at this time is at its peak in the past ten years. If you want to manipulate the river, it is impossible to do it in a short time, so the only way is the Qinhuai River. "

Zhang Yuelu took out a floor map of Jinling Prefecture from the Xumiwu and spread it out: "As a water supply, the most ideal is spring water or well water. However, Jinling Prefecture is a large city after the Imperial Capital with a population of several hundred. The demand for water is so huge that it cannot be met by spring water and well water alone. The Qinhuai River runs through both inner and outer cities. It has a large flow and has relatively good self-purification capabilities, second only to the big rivers. water source.”

Because of Uncle Feng, Qi Xuansu had just been to the Qinhuai River not long ago, and had some impressions of it. After confirming it with the map, he already knew it.

The Qinhuai River is indeed an excellent place to start.

Regarding the protection of water sources, the Taoist sect and the imperial court will allocate corresponding manpower. If it is normal, there will be no chance to take action, but now Jinling Mansion is the most empty time. The governor, admiral, military affairs chief, governor, and guard The chief military officer and the real person in charge of Jiangnan Daofu were not in Jinling Palace. At this time, there was another fire, which involved most of the energy of Jiangnan Daofu, Qingluan Guards, and the Military Command Department.

There really is no better time than now to take action.

Qi Xuansu asked: "Should we report it to Jinque?"

Zhang Yuelu was silent for a moment and then asked: "Where is the evidence?"

Qi Xuansu was speechless.

The two of them cannot report to Jinque based on speculation alone, hoping that Jinque will reach a decision.

All their speculations were based on assumptions, and the premise of this assumption came from Zhang Yuelu's intuition and worries. It's not that speculation is impossible, it would be enough if it were replaced by a great master or a certain great master. The weight of the two of them is too light.

Zhang Yuelu revealed a deeper reason: "Don't forget, we are still insiders. From the three deputy heads to the great masters, down to the various Taoist houses in Jiutang, everyone knows what our position is. In the same words, Some people can say it, some people can't."

"If you are an outsider, there are no obvious interests involved. If you stand up and worry about the safety of Jinling Mansion at this time, it is selfish and selfless."

"As insiders, we are involved in the center of this whirlpool. If we stand up at this critical moment and say that Jinling Mansion is in danger or that Zhenwu Temple has just been completely burned down by a fire, what will others think? They They will not think that we are really worried about the safety of Jinling Mansion, they will only think that we are diverting attention, shirking responsibility, or even harboring evil intentions. This is called selfless and selfish. "

Qi Xuansu was silent there.

He was not stupid and had already understood the meaning of Zhang Yuelu's words.

After a while, Qi Xuansu slowly said: "Because we are involved in party strife, we will be regarded as party members from top to bottom. In the eyes of others, everything we do is in the interests of the party." Instead of starting from the interests of Taoism and the people, no matter how correct the approach is, it is just a high-sounding slogan and a shield. Then what we want to do will not be supported, but will be blocked. Now, no matter what we say, The higher-ups won’t listen, and even if they do, they will end up arguing with each other. Is this the truth?”

Zhang Yuelu nodded silently.

Qi Xuansu sighed: "We can only watch helplessly."

"We can also try to stop them on our own." Zhang Yuelu's eyes were firm, "I can't report to Jinque publicly, but I can inform Master privately and make corresponding preparations. If our speculation unfortunately comes true, then the Taoist sect will not If you are caught off guard, you can react immediately.”

Qi Xuansu nodded: "That's all it can do."

Zhang Yuelu pointed on the map with his finger: "Let's go to this place first."

Qi Xuansu then looked around and saw four small characters marked on the place where Zhang Yuelu pointed: "Shui Tang Workshop".

On ordinary maps, this place would not be marked. Because the map in Zhang Yuelu's hand was a special map inside the Daomen, this place was marked.

Shuitang Workshop belongs to Jiangnan Daofu. It is a semi-underground workshop. It is the largest water purification workshop in Jinling Prefecture.

Logically speaking, the river water should be relatively clean, but too many residents in the middle and upper reaches will cause the water quality to decline, and algae and various parasites will increase in large quantities. Drinking it directly will cause various diseases.

Daomen has set up many workshops to purify water. The process is not very complicated, and there are mainly three steps: sedimentation, filtration, and disinfection. Many facilities such as sedimentation tanks, filter wells, disinfection tanks, and water channels need to be built, which takes up a lot of space. Because water source safety is the top priority, this place is not marked on the map, and there is a dedicated person responsible for it.

There is no doubt that starting from here will save a lot of trouble.

Zhang Yuelu didn't have any clues, but she put herself in her shoes. If she was a member of Zhiming Sect, she would most likely choose to take action in this place.

Qi Xuansu had no objection and asked again: "How many people are you bringing?"

"Just the two of us." Zhang Yuelu put away the map. "Too many people will make the target too big and it's easy to alert the enemy. It's easier to act with fewer people. But you have to inform others so that they can prepare in advance."

Qi Xuansu nodded and began to check the various things he carried.

The "Dragon Hand Gun" was eaten by Marshal Tianpeng, and all kinds of "Dragon Eyes" and "Phoenix Eyes" were also consumed. Although there was a "Sun Shooting Long Gun" that he picked up, the ammunition was used up and there was no time to replenish it. Qi Xuansu temporarily threw it to a spiritual officer. So at this time, Qi Xuansu only had the top spiritual object "Feiying", the upper-grade spiritual object "Qingyuan", the inferior treasure "Nine Yang Lihuo Cover (Imitation)", and four "Bliss Needles".

As for Zhang Yuelu, he is much more generous than Qi Xuansu, with a semi-immortal item "Wuxiang Paper", and two top treasures "Cang Lei" and "Taiyi Yunyi".

Compared with the first generation Cihang Zhenren Su Yun'an when he was young, Zhang Yuelu has higher configurations in terms of both external things and realm cultivation. And compared with the young Great Zhenren Yan Feiqing, Qi Xuansu is definitely inferior in all aspects, not to mention being on par with Xuansheng.

At this time, the two were in a relatively secluded pavilion, leaning against Zhenwu Lake, and could see the situation over at Zhenwu Temple. Zhang Yuelu thought about it, took off the "Taiyi Cloud Clothes" outside, revealing her original clothes, and then handed the "Taiyi Cloud Clothes" to Qi Xuansu, saying: "I can't decide to give it to you, just consider it as a loan to you."

Qi Xuansu waved his hand and refused: "Anyway, I have the physique of a warrior, I can withstand more beatings. Even if you are a celestial being, you may not be as strong as me, so you should wear it."

Zhang Yuelu did not refute Qi Xuansu's excuse at all, but said in an unquestionable tone: "Stop talking nonsense, just wear it if I ask you to."

In terms of resistance, even if Qi Xuansu was beaten to death, her "Five Qi Smoke Net" might not be broken. After all, she is a banished immortal in the Five Qis Converging to the Origin realm, and is by no means comparable to an incomplete warrior returning to the truth.

The Five Qis Converging to the Origin is originally a high realm after achieving earthly immortals, but it was used by Xuansheng to name the heavenly and free stage of banished immortals, which shows the transcendent status of celestial immortals over earthly immortals. For Zhang Yuelu, the "Taiyi Cloud Clothes" is no longer of much use.

But Qi Xuansu was not a man who was afraid of his wife, and still refused: "I remember that the fifth generation of the Great Master once said that if women wear men's hats, men wear women's skirts, and even men put on rouge, and regard women's makeup as beautiful and Longyang as good, then it is a sign of prosperity and decline, so he ordered several times to rectify the atmosphere. I am not the fifth generation of the Great Master, I can't control others, I can only control myself. As a man, I don't wear women's clothes."

To be fair, this "Taiyi Cloud Clothes" has been passed down from generation to generation in the Cihang lineage, and the Cihang lineage has always been dominated by women. Take this generation for example, whether it is Cihang Zhenren, Zhang Yuelu, or Bai Yingqiong, they are all women, so Qi Xuansu said that "Taiyi Cloud Clothes" is women's clothing, which is not unreasonable.

"This is a crane cloak style with wide sleeves and a front, and it is not a palace dress. How can it be divided into men's clothing and women's clothing?" Zhang Yuelu shook the "Taiyi Cloud Clothes" in his hand.

Qi Xuansu pointed to the scarf.

The so-called scarf is what we often call a streamer. One end is fixed on the chest strap of the half arm, and then draped over the shoulders and swirled between the arms. When standing, the scarf naturally hangs down like a quiet pond, and when walking, it flows and stretches like the wind blowing the willows, and the movement and stillness complement each other. This is also the key to the "Taiyi Cloud Clothes" enabling people to fly.

Generally speaking, the scarf used by married women is shorter, while the scarf used by unmarried women is longer. The scarf on the "Taiyi Cloud Clothes" is ten feet long, so there is an unwritten rule in the Cihang lineage. After the real people of the Cihang lineage get married, the "Taiyi Cloud Clothes" must be passed on to unmarried disciples. Although the real people of Cihang are not married now, their realm is too high and they don't need this kind of gadget, so they pass it on to Zhang Yuelu.

Zhang Yuelu was speechless for a moment.

She is not an unreasonable person, and she will not make trouble for no reason.

Finally, Zhang Yuelu could only say: "At worst, you can tie the shawl around your waist as a belt, as long as you can fly."

She took the initiative to take off the shawl.

Zhang Yuelu had already given in so much, Qi Xuansu couldn't refuse anymore, so he could only take the "Taiyi Cloud Clothes" without the shawl and put it on.

People rely on clothes, Buddha relies on gold. A snow-white crane cloak, not stained with dust, with clouds and air, also makes Qi Xuansu look like a fairy, like a fairy.

Zhang Yuelu motioned Qi Xuansu to open his hands, and personally tied a thin shawl around his waist, which was somewhat out of place.

Qi Xuansu whispered, "Wouldn't that be a bit of a waste?"

Zhang Yuelu rolled his eyes at him, "Then wrap it around your arm?"

Qi Xuansu shuddered as he thought of himself as a Buddhist flying god, "It's better to wrap it around your waist, it's neat. It's also more convenient to fight with others."

After that, Qi Xuansu simply put "Qingyuan" and "Feiying" on his waist, one on the left and one on the right, and then put on a shoulder bag and a waist bag, and even hung a bell-shaped "Nine Yang Fire Cover" on his waist - since it's out of place, it's outrageous to the extreme.
