Chapter 73: Getting Ready
To be fair, Qi Xuansu is not good at killing. He is not the kind of assassin or assassin who has been trained since childhood, and he does not know how to kill people most efficiently and quickly. His strength lies in the fact that he has honed a stable mentality and a set of adaptable fighting methods from life and death experiences.
Water has no constant state, and soldiers have no constant shape.
The so-called adaptability is not only to summarize skills and turn them into instincts, but also to use your brain and be good at using various external conditions.
In this case, Qi Xuansu's strength is a little erratic. He seems very strong, but not so strong. He rarely presents the crushing situation of Li Changge. One reason is that Qi Xuansu is congenitally deficient and does not have the good conditions of Li Changge. The other reason is that the external conditions are not always the same.
The assassins of the "inn" are different. They have been trained since childhood, familiar with every weakness of the human body, and proficient in various killing techniques. They are also good at using various external conditions, but most of them are used for ambush, concealment, and assassination.
To put it bluntly, the assassins are good at weakening the enemy and strengthening themselves through sneak attacks and calculations, and bursting out the most deadly blow.
If the attack fails, the ancestors of assassins have already made it clear that if the attack fails, they will flee thousands of miles away.
In fact, if they lose the initiative to attack, without the advantage of realm, these assassins will most likely not be able to defeat the experienced black-clad men and the old Jianghu who have experienced the trials and tribulations in a head-on fight.
If they really want to fight one-on-one and compete fairly, the "cook" of the "inn" may not be the opponent of the "Qingshanshi" of Qingping Society, but the "cook" will not fight you head-on, not only deliberately ambushing and attacking you, but also bullying the minority with the majority. In addition, "Qingshanshi" likes the white dragon fish costume, and relies on his cultivation to travel alone to various places, so he died at the hands of the "cook".
At this point, we have to mention the three Taoist masters. They are really the sons of a rich family, Jie Chuitang. The realm of these three is already rare in the world, but they still live in seclusion, either in the Taoist ancestral temple Yujing, or in their own "nests". Not only are there many followers and guards, but there are also various formations surrounding them. Even if there are ancient immortals who condescend to act as assassins, it is difficult to endanger these three.
Because of this, Qi Xuansu is not pessimistic about the war between Qingping Society and "Inn" because of the death of "Qingshanshi". He thinks that if Qingping Society can take the initiative, "Inn" may suffer a great defeat, because the assassins are good at attacking but not good at defending.
Whether it can take the initiative depends on intelligence. In this regard, except for Ziguang Society, no secret society can be compared with Qingping Society. After all, there are two-faced people inside Qingping Society, and the internal members do not show their true faces when communicating. Most of them are single-line contacts. It is easy to break into others, but it is difficult for others to break into it.
In addition to the matter about the "inn", Qi Niang also changed a fish talisman for Qi Xuansu, replacing the "Silver Red Fish Talisman" with the "Golden Purple Fish Talisman", which means that Qi Xuansu will be a Class B member in the future.
The fish talisman of the Qingping Society is quite similar to the Taoist sutras. The higher the level, the more functions it has. Compared with the "Silver Red Fish Talisman", the "Golden Purple Fish Talisman" can not only exchange items in dreams, but also has two functions.
The first function is nothing to say. The internal space is larger and can store more things. It is equivalent to Qi Xuansu having two Xumi objects. He can put some secret things in the "Golden Purple Fish Talisman" and put some less important and commonly used things in Feng Bo's ring.
The second function is completely similar to the communication function of the "Chu Zhen Sutra Talisman", which can be bound to one person. Qi Niang had bound his "Golden Purple Fish Talisman" to her "Jade White Fish Talisman" in advance without Qi Xuansu's consent. From then on, the two of them no longer needed the mother-child talisman to communicate.
As for the binding problem, the "Golden Purple Fish Talisman" can only be bound to one person, but the "Jade White Fish Talisman" can be bound to multiple people. It's like a teapot with many teacups. Qi Niang's "Jade White Fish Talisman" is a teapot, and Qi Xuansu's "Golden Purple Fish Talisman" is a teacup.
Taking this as an excuse, Qi Niang said that since the two no longer need the mother-child talisman for communication, from now on, she will not send the mother-child talisman to Qi Xuansu. The rest of the small pieces are not enough to cover the expenses of the messenger, so she will save them all. This means that the worry-free money, elixirs, and mother-child talismans issued by the Qingping Society were all intercepted by Qi Niang, and Qi Xuansu is now a free worker.
Qi Xuansu also wants to thank Qi Niang. If it weren't for Qi Niang's "earnest teachings", would he have such excellent qualities of not being greedy, honest, and self-disciplined? Twenty thousand worry-free money was placed in front of him, and he didn't even blink.
After Qi Xuansu said goodbye to Qi Niang, he wandered around the black market and found many attractive items, but he had no choice but to give up because he was short of money.
Then Qi Xuansu left the black market and went to buy a new set of clothes.
Now Qi Xuansu is still in the stage of suspension and reflection. At the beginning, Qi Xuansu was still a little unconvinced. Why should he reflect? What should he reflect on? As a result, Shi Bingyun's words made him speechless. You left such a big handle for others to grasp, and you almost got into an irreparable situation. Shouldn't you reflect on it? Qi Xuansu had to reflect honestly and said that he would not make such mistakes again in the future and would never be soft-hearted. But when dealing with Yanxiu, he was soft-hearted. As a result, he failed to save the person and was injured. Qi Xuansu couldn't help but sigh that he still didn't reflect enough.
However, after Yao Pei submitted the record to the Golden Palace, Zhang Yuelu waved his hand and said that Qi Xuansu did not need to reflect on himself. Although Qi Xuansu had to continue to be suspended before the Golden Palace officially approved it, he could not dispatch his subordinates, nor could he participate in the investigation openly. At most, he could discuss with Zhang Yuelu privately and give some advice, but the advantage was that he did not have to be confined to his house and could go wherever he wanted, so he was quite free and idle recently and could come to see Qi Niang.
In fact, when he said goodbye to Qi Niang, Qi Xuansu also hesitated, whether to mention Zhang Yuelu's request to meet? In the end, he gave up, and he could delay it for one day, and he would talk about it when he could not delay it any longer. There is always a way out when the car reaches the mountain, and there is another village after the dark willows and flowers.
Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflict.
Push forward ten years, even if Qi Xuansu is beaten to death, he does not think he will face this problem. First of all, he has no mother. Secondly, he may not be able to find a Taoist partner with his conditions. After all, Taoist women have high standards. Although they are both ninth-grade Taoists, female Taoists look down on male Taoists and must find eighth-grade Taoists as their partners. So Qi Xuansu at that time thought that he might join Quanzhen Taoism, never marry, and become a Taoist monk.
But now it has really happened.
When Qi Xuansu was young and naive, he read too many storybooks. On the one hand, he thought that he might not find a Taoist partner, and on the other hand, he fantasized about being caught between two women and being in a dilemma. But he never expected that there were two women and a dilemma, but they were not two confidantes, but my mother and my wife.
Qi Xuansu simply stopped thinking about these things and prepared to stay at the Dijing General Store of Taiping Inn, waiting for Qi Niang's people to contact him.
Speaking of which, Qi Xuansu had some friendship with the shopkeeper of Dijing General Store because of the investigation. Now that Qi Xuansu is about to be reinstated, the shopkeeper will not take Qi Xuansu's Taiping money, but will take the initiative to establish a good relationship, so it's a waste not to stay.
In the middle of the night, Qi Xuansu was meditating and suddenly felt the "Golden Purple Fish Talisman" connected to his mind move. He took it out and activated the function of the mother-child talisman.
A light curtain appeared in front of Qi Xuansu, and a big eye occupied most of the light curtain, which scared Qi Xuansu. Then he realized that it was because Qi Niang put her eyes close to the fish talisman, and the near was big and the far was small, which would show this effect.
Sure enough, Qi Niang took the fish talisman far away and she could see her bust.
She is old and still likes to play such childish tricks.
Qi Xuansu secretly complained in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He asked: "Have your people arrived?"
"Go to the overpass." Qi Niang said concisely.
Qi Xuansu keenly noticed something wrong: "Didn't you send someone to contact me?"
"The plan changed temporarily. This time, a member of the Privy Council will lead the team in person, but I won't show up. You will go there on my behalf to make up the number and beat the drums. Don't embarrass me and pay attention to your own safety." Qi Niang said.
Qi Xuansu took a deep breath: "At the beginning, the first-class members came out directly? Such a big move?"
Qiniang said: "If they are not big enough, they will not be able to boost morale, and if they are not big enough, they will not be able to shock people. Stop talking nonsense and go."
Qi Xuansu was used to bargaining with Qiniang, and asked: "Knowing the enemy and knowing yourself, you can fight a hundred battles without danger. Since it is a temporary change of plan, I will not ask about the enemy. After all, they are people from the "Inn". But you have to tell me who our own people are and what realm they are in, so that I can have a clear idea, right?"
Qiniang said: "The leader's ci tune is named "Meng Xingyun", and he is in the infinite stage of heaven."
Qi Xuansu hesitated immediately: "Even the "Qingshanshi" in the creation stage died. Can we change it to the infinite stage this time?"
Qiniang put her eyes close to the fish symbol again, and a big eye on the light screen stared at Qi Xuansu: "You are a heavenly person in the free and easy stage, and you look down on the heavenly people in the infinite stage? Do you really think that the creation stage is a cabbage on the roadside, and you can have as many as you want? The six senior executives of the "Inn": The proprietor, the shopkeeper, the waiter, the cook, the accountant, and the handyman. The proprietor is the leader, the shopkeeper is the strategist, and they are responsible for the overall situation. The waiter is responsible for intelligence, the accountant is responsible for finance, the handyman is responsible for checking for leaks and filling gaps, and the cook is responsible for assassination and is also the chief assassin. Apart from the proprietor and the shopkeeper, the cook has the highest level of cultivation, so he is in the stage of good fortune. The rest of the accountants, waiters, handymen, and several top-ranked waiters are just in the stage of infinity. In addition to the six-member Privy Council, the Qingping Society also has a Council of Review. If everyone They are all at the stage of good fortune. There are more than a dozen people in the Qingping Society, six people in the Inn, plus the Purple Light Society, Zhiming Sect, Lingshan Wu Sect and other major secret societies. Can they compete with the Taoist sect? Even suppress the Taoist sect. After all, the Taoist sect only has more than 30 people at the stage of good fortune. "
Qi Xuansu said: "Aren't you a fake immortal?"
Qiniang said proudly: "How can I be the same? I am also the owner of Qibaofang. Can others do it?"
Qi Xuansu was speechless.
