Chapter 181 Oracle
Sun Hewu threw the fragment to Qi Xuansu: "You should take good care of your injuries. I should go and prepare to draft the official letter. I am unlucky. I have been in charge of the Taoist Palace for less than two months, and I have encountered such a rare "good thing" in a century. It's better not to say it."
Sun Hewu looked at the half-collapsed observatory again and sighed: "It needs to be repaired."
After that, the old immortal flew into the air and went to the Mingtang.
Only Yao Pei and Qi Xuansu were left.
Yao Pei glanced at the fragment of "Xuanyu" in Qi Xuansu's hand and said, "Finally, your wish has come true."
Qi Xuansu felt the surging divine power in the fragment: "The gods are in sight."
Yao Pei asked, "Do you want me to take you back?"
Qi Xuansu said, "It's not easy to come to the Lower Palace. I want to leave later."
Yao Pei disagreed, "There are still a few fish that have escaped the net in the Lower Palace. I don't feel at ease walking around the Lower Palace by yourself. If someone takes the opportunity to assassinate you, I really don't know how to explain to Qi Niang and Qing Xiao Daoyou."
If it were normal times, Qi Xuansu would certainly not be afraid of anything, but Qi Xuansu was seriously injured at this time, so this was really possible.
Qi Xuansu suggested, "How about you accompany me for a walk in the lower palace?"
Yao Pei hesitated for a moment, but still nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give you an hour."
Qi Xuansu sighed, "After all, she is my niece, I know how to feel sorry for her..."
Halfway through her words, Qi Xuansu was stabbed in the forehead by a flying knife. The tip of the knife only hurt the skin, but it kept the balance of the flying knife and did not fall down. The measure was just right.
Qi Xuansu pulled out the flying knife and put it in his Xumi object. He planned to sell it when he went to the black market next time, just as medicine. Or put it together and keep it for himself.
There is no way, people are short-sighted when they are poor, and horses are thin and hairy.
Yao Pei just raised his eyebrows, but didn't say much.
The two walked in the lower palace in the dead of night. Because Sun Hewu had just issued a strict order, there was no one else except the patrolling and guarding spiritual officials.
Qi Xuansu took Yao Pei to visit the place where he studied and lived, especially the small house where he lived for more than ten years. However, it now has a new owner, and every time a new resident is welcomed, the Taoist Palace will be renovated and has changed a lot.
Qi Xuansu sighed. He wanted to meet the assistant teacher who was responsible for taking care of their daily life, but now the atmosphere is so tense that he can only give up.
Soon, Qi Xuansu came to the venue where the Dragon and Tiger War was held. To be precise, this is a semi-open cave. Its main body is a huge sand table with a radius of about 100 meters. Various mountains, rivers, houses, rivers and lakes are vivid.
If you look from the outside, the people inside are like ants, just small black dots, but if you walk towards the disc, you will only feel that the disc is getting bigger and bigger, and you will get smaller and smaller. After you really walk to the disc, the so-called sand table is no different from the real mountains, rivers and lakes.
At this time, there is no one in the disc, just an ordinary sand table.
Qi Xuansu just watched from afar, feeling deeply moved.
Yao Pei stood beside Qi Xuansu and said, "You almost died here?"
Qi Xuansu said calmly, "Daoyou Yao is well-informed."
"Anyway, Pan Cuiqing is also a figure in Quanzhen Dao. Even if he is not as good as Qi Jianyuan, he is not too far behind. He can be regarded as a figure who can be compared. If something happened to him, I would definitely investigate it. So I knew about Wan Xiuwu, Yue Liuli, and the grudge between you." Yao Pei gave an explanation.
Qi Xuansu did not speak.
Yao Pei continued, "I didn't expect that Zhang Qingxiao would do this for you. If it were me, I would never let this happen to me. It would give people something to talk about. Who knows, someone might use this to attack Zhang Qingxiao."
Qi Xuansu's eyes softened, and he whispered, "So I cherish Qingxiao."
Yao Pei changed the subject, "But then again, you are indeed worthy of Zhang Qingxiao's doing this."
Qi Xuansu sighed again and clenched the "Xuanyu" in his hand, "The past is all gone, and we should look forward."
Yao Pei put his hands behind his back, "It's best if you can think so."
The news about Zhang Wuhen was soon delivered to the desk of the Grand Master of the Wanxiang Taoist Palace. Outsiders didn't know what the Grand Master Pingzhang thought, but after discussing with Sun Hewu, he decided to report it to Jinque immediately.
First, Qi Jianyuan died unexpectedly in the Wanxiang Taoist Palace, and then Zhang Wuhen, the sister of Tianshi Zhang Wushou, came back to life. It was hard not to connect these two things together.
So this matter set off a wave in Jinque.
But it was just a wave.
Qi Jianyuan's death involved Pei Muyu, and Quanzhen Dao didn't want to let the family's shame be exposed. Zhang Wuhen was even more of a scar on Zhengyi Dao. He was personally dealt with by the Heavenly Master, which caused a lot of trouble. Even if Zhang Wuhen was no longer a Taoist, Zhang Juyan was still a Taoist, and he was also a legitimate member of the Zhang family. No matter what, the Zhang family and Zhengyi Dao could not stay out of it.
What was rare this time was that Taiping Dao was not involved. It should have been a way for Taiping Dao to attack Zhengyi and Quanzhen Dao, or Taiping Dao to laugh at the jokes of the two Daos. However, it was less than two months after the second Jiangnan case, and the aftermath was not over. Taiping Dao itself was also covered in mud. It had been on the defensive before, and now it was just taking a breath, and it was far from the time for a counterattack.
As a result, the bottom of the three paths is not clean. As a relatively neutral lineage of the Grand Master, the Wanxiang Dao Palace is also suspected of dereliction of duty and it is difficult for the Grand Master's lineage to make use of the topic.
With the tacit understanding of all parties, these two things were naturally raised high and then put down gently. Big things were reduced to small things, and small things were reduced to small things.
Who will investigate? Who can get to the bottom of it?
That is to be enemies with most of the Taoist sects.
Although the conflicts between the three Taoists are becoming more and more intense, it is undeniable that there is still consensus and common interests among the three Taoists on quite a few matters. This is why they can fight without breaking up. However, as the struggle between the three realms intensifies, these consensuses and common interests are constantly breaking down and disappearing. Sooner or later, the three realms will have a battle, and they will change from allies who jointly resisted the Fifth Generation Grand Master to enemies facing each other with swords.
In this matter, it was Yao Pei who stole the show.
Because she not only completed Qi Jianyuan's unfinished business, but also discovered Zhang Guyan's plan immediately.
As for Qi Xuansu, he was completely obscured by Yao Pei's light.
Just like during the second major Jiangnan case, Zhang Yuelu was the one who stole the show, while Qi Xuansu was just a foil.
However, no matter how low-key Qi Xuansu is, he will inevitably be noticed by others. In the eyes of many people, not to mention this kid's ability, it is already very impressive to have friendships with Zhang Yuelu and Yao Pei at the same time. In addition, there is also Qi Jianyuan involved in this matter, and it is inevitable to repeat the same old story again, speculating about the relationship between Qi Xuansu and the Qi family.
But I really can't say that this guess is wrong. Because of Qi Haoran's relationship, Qi Xuansu does have some relationship with the Qi family, but it's hard to say whether this relationship is good or bad.
As a result, the three young talents all shone one after another. Although Zhang Yuelu took the lead and was the first to be promoted to the third rank of Youyi Taoist Priest, the other two also had great potential and no one was sure of victory.
In a hidden palace, a young woman is praying to a female statue.
A wordless book was placed in front of her.
At this moment, a wind blew, causing the wordless book to rattle, and black writing gradually appeared on the originally blank paper.
The woman who was praying suddenly opened her eyes and stared at the wordless book that was no longer wordless.
This is an oracle.
Different from various oracles that were vague and contained only a few words, this time the oracle was actually a long paragraph of text.
"Many years ago, Zhang Wuhen sneaked into the Kunlun Cave and stole the inheritance left by True Lord Taiyin in the human world. However, the matter was quickly exposed. After consultations with Dao Sect Jinque, it was decided that Zhang Wushou would handle the matter personally. In the end, after suppressing the demon, On the stage, Zhang Wushou personally killed Zhang Wuhen, but for various reasons, Zhang Wushou did not kill them all. He wanted to compensate his nephew Zhang Guyan, but Zhang Guyan refused to reconcile with his uncle and was hostile to most of the family members. , thinking they killed their mother.”
"Under the persuasion of his cousins, Zhang Wushou decided to banish Zhang Guyan in disguise, which gave Ziguang Society an opportunity. With the natural connection of blood, they successfully found Zhang Guyan and successfully persuaded Zhang Guyan to join Ziguang society."
"It's just that Ziguang Society didn't expect that Zhang Wushou couldn't control Zhang Guyan, and they couldn't control Zhang Guyan either. With the help of Ziguang Society, Zhang Guyan stole the divine power from the bottom of Xingye Lake, activated the 'Life Box', and resurrected Zhang Wuhen ”
"Zhang Wuhen successfully escaped from the Wanxiang Taoist Palace. Her first priority is not to take revenge on Zhang Wushou, but to hide, hibernate, and seek a higher realm of gods while recovering to her peak."
"Although Zhang Wuhen is already a pseudo-immortal, it is still very difficult to establish a divine kingdom and ignite the divine fire. This requires a huge amount of incense and willpower. She is no longer a member of the Taoist sect and cannot obtain the incense and willpower from the Taoist sect, so she must Take the path of association.”
"Zhang Wuhen is unwilling to join Lingshan Witch Cult, Zhiming Cult or Ziguang Society, nor is she willing to become a disciple of Buddhism. However, she has another option, which is to re-establish the Taoism of Taiyin Zhenjun through Zhenjun Taiyin's inheritance. That is the Xuanyin Sect.”
"Although when True Lord Taiyin submitted to the Taoist sect, most members of the Xuanyin Sect also became members of the Taoist sect, but there are still a small number of Xuanyin sect members who are wandering around. They are unwilling to submit to the Taoist sect, and Zhang Wuhen will become a member of the Taoist sect. Their new leader."
"Find Zhang Wuhen, show your sincerity, help her, and promote an alliance."
