Chapter 84 Su Li

Qi Xuansu looked around and said, "Last time I handled Gao Mingyin's case, I almost sorted out the North City, but the effect was not satisfactory. Now there are only East City, West City and South City left, among which South City is the richest and most prosperous."

Su Li said, "Master Qi means that we should start from South City this time."

"That's right." Qi Xuansu said, "I heard from the real person in charge of the house that there was a big incident in South City last night. Two secret societies fought and many people died. It can be seen that South City is a place where filth and dirt are hidden. Of course, it can also be said that it is a place where dragons and crouching tigers are hidden."

Qi Xuansu paused: "In addition, Deputy House Master Zhou is now handling this matter in South City. We can just take advantage of Deputy House Master Zhou's east wind to enter South City, which will not attract too much attention and hostility."

No one raised any objections.

Qi Xuansu clapped his hands: "Okay, everyone go and get ready, we will enter South City tomorrow."

Although Qi Xuansu was not interested in continuing to rectify the atmosphere in the imperial capital, since it was a task assigned by the higher-ups, he still treated it with all his heart. In a sense, this is also a case of doing good things without worrying about the future.

The seven spiritual officials and two Taoists left Qi Xuansu's reception room.

The fourth-grade spiritual officials are the combat power of the return to the true stage. As long as the seven spiritual officials cooperate properly, it is not difficult to surround and kill an ordinary celestial being. Not to mention that there are 700 low-grade spiritual officials under the command of the seven spiritual officials.

Like Taoists, spiritual officials are limited to the fourth grade. Above the fourth grade is high grade, and below the fourth grade is low grade. The characteristic of spiritual officials is that the upper limit is insufficient. There has never been a spiritual official in the immortal stage, but the lower limit is very high. There are Taoists in the acquired stage, but there are no spiritual officials in the acquired stage. In other words, in essence, all spiritual officials are acquired people, but as long as they wear the special spiritual official armor, their combat power will not be weaker than the innate people in the Kunlun stage.

Seven hundred innate people are not seven hundred ordinary people. The absolute advantage in numbers is enough to make up for the shortcomings in realm. This is also a great power. Even when Zhang Yuelu just became the deputy head of Tiangang Hall, he didn't have so many spiritual officials under his command, but now he should have them, especially after Zhang Yuelu incorporated the remnants of Shangguan Jing. The number of spiritual officials under his command should be around 1,000, but these spiritual officials will not follow Zhang Yuelu around the world, and will only be dispatched when there is a war. In short, Zhang Yuelu only has the right to command in wartime, and the high-quality spiritual officials are responsible for the management of the spiritual official team in peacetime, and the power to mobilize troops is in the hands of the head of the hall.

The deputy heads of the hall have the final say on how to fight, but the head of the hall has the final say on where to fight, and the superior and the inferior are judged immediately.

Now Qi Xuansu is the same. He has a certain degree of autonomy. He can choose South City, East City, West City, and where to start, but he can't take the spiritual officials to Bohai Prefecture or Wuxing Mountain to rectify the atmosphere.

Qi Xuansu went to the signing room of another chief. This chief is in charge of various documents and archives, and naturally has the relevant archives of the Imperial Capital Daofu on the "weak" points of the Imperial Capital.

Qi Xuansu spent the whole day in the Dongxuan Hall of the Jade Emperor Palace, familiarizing himself with the situation in the South City.

All the dignitaries lived in the inner city and the imperial city, and no one would put all kinds of illegal "businesses" at their doorsteps, so many illegal "businesses", especially those with a large number of people and a lot of noise, were placed in the outer city.

The exception was the Xingyuan, most of which were in compliance with the laws of the court. When Qi Xuansu was chatting with Zhang Yuelu, he heard her talk about the experience of eradicating secret societies. Secret societies also need to eat and need Taiping money, so they often run some "businesses" that violate human ethics.

Now it seems that the Imperial Capital City is no exception, but the operators have changed from secret societies to dignitaries in the court.

This is an offensive job, but Qi Xuansu's Quanzhen Dao stance made him not too worried. Maintaining relations with the court is something that Taiping Dao should consider. He also did not plan to cultivate the Imperial Capital Daofu deeply. He was destined to return to Yujing, so he was not afraid of offending people.

The next morning, Qi Xuansu gathered seven hundred spiritual officials in the square in front of the main gate of the Jade Emperor Palace. After a brief speech, he set off for the South City.

Because Xuanshang North Square is in the north and South City is in the south, separated by several squares, they took a boat directly across Penglai Pond. In the Penglai Pond, which is mostly filled with pleasure boats, a huge warship is still particularly conspicuous. The spiritual officials in black armor stood neatly on the deck, and their power was terrifying.

Qi Xuansu is not a person who likes to show off, so he did not stand at the bow, but sat in the cabin. Today, he did not wear a crane cloak formal dress, but a casual Taoist robe.

In addition to Qi Xuansu, Su Li was also here. This person, whose exact age is unknown but looks very young on the surface, does not like to show up in public, and even wears a cloak and covers his face with a hood.

"Some men, especially powerful men, like women's identities more than women themselves. To give a simple example, no matter how beautiful an ordinary prostitute is, she can't arouse these people's interest, but a decent family with just decent appearance can make these people never forget her. If her identity is more special, such as a female head of the police, a female official, or even a female crown, it will arouse their beastly desires even more." After all, Su Li was born in Qingqiu Mountain, and she didn't have too many taboos about these men and women.

Ke Qingqing blushed a little and couldn't help coughing a few times.

Several spiritual officials covered their faces with iron armor, revealing only their two eyes, and it was impossible to tell what they were thinking.

Qi Xuansu's face didn't have much expression.

Because ordinary women don't have crowns, only female Taoists have crowns, so it's called female crowns.

Su Li continued: "There are two types of female crowns. One is an ordinary female Taoist priest who can marry and have children. Deacon Ke and I are both such female Taoist priests. The other one is a monk who becomes a monk and devotes his life to Taoism. Those who do not marry are mostly concentrated in Quanzhen Tao, which is called Kun Tao. Many dignitaries in the imperial capital are especially interested in Kun Tao. They usually have two ways. The first is to let other women dress up as Kun Tao. The second is to find some real Kun Dao.”

Ke Qingqing couldn't help but said: "This is blasphemy against Taoism."

This is different from Shi Bingyun and Qin Quanyi. Shi Bingyun is not a Taoist who does not marry, and the two of them seriously considered getting married, but there was too much resistance from all aspects, so they had to give up. In fact, the difference between them and husband and wife is not that big. He also acquiesced to the fact of the two of them.

Playing with Kun Dao is another concept. Whether Kun Dao actively degenerates or Kun Dao is coerced by power, the Taoist sect does not allow it. The Taoist sect will not force anyone to take the initiative to follow Taoism or not to marry, but as long as you choose this path, you cannot violate the precepts, otherwise you will be severely punished.

Qi Xuansu was not surprised that Su Li knew these things. Because of their alien origins, the Qingqiu Mountain lineage was far more devoted to Taoism than most people in the Taoist sect. They had never been used to such things that violated Taoist morality, and Draw firm boundaries.

He still remembers Su Ran's last words before his death: "My Qingqiu Mountain lineage is sincere in advocating the Tao and is steadfast in pursuing the Tao. It is the best in the Taiping Tao... There is no fear of death, no pity of life. I only regret that I could not make 'Tianle Taoyuan' destruction……"

From this point of view, Su Li, who was born in Qingqiu Mountain, has long been dissatisfied with these desecrations of Taoism, but she is unable to change. She is not as radical and fanatical as Su Ran, but lies dormant and silently collects information. When she was sent here this time, it can only be said that Li Ruoshui still knew people well and was good at assigning tasks.

Su Li pointed to the map of Nancheng on the table: "The largest second-class hospital in Nancheng, called Qiuhuayuan, has such activities."

Qi Xuansu asked: "How did Master Su know?"

"Our Qingqiu Mountain lineage is good at the art of change. I once pretended to be a guest and sneaked into it." Su Li said.

Qi Xuansu nodded, believing Su Li's words, and the "white fox face" mask was the best proof.

"Then our tentative target is Qiuhuayuan." Qi Xuansu circled an area on the map with Qiuhuayuan as the center. "After entering Nancheng, Zeng Lingguan and Deacon Ke will not move and are ready to support at any time. Zhou Lingguan, Gao Lingguan, Qin Lingguan, Zhao Lingguan, and Sun Lingguan searched the third-class and fourth-class courtyards respectively. Hu Lingguan and Deacon Wang led people to patrol nearby, responsible for vigilance and adaptability, so as not to make Chief Su of Qiuhuayuan suspicious. If you are familiar with the inside story, you will lead the way. We will enter Qiuhuayuan first to see the situation. If the evidence is conclusive, I will send out a signal. The person who receives the signal must rush to Qiuhuayuan as soon as possible, and do not let a person slip through the net. fish."

On the map, the distribution of the five spiritual officials happened to form a siege on Qiuhuayuan.

The seven spiritual officials said in a loud voice: "Here."

Qi Xuansu took out seven talismans and distributed them to the seven spiritual officials.

This is the first generation of the mother and son talisman. It cannot be used for communication. Its function is to connect the mother and son to the heart. Qi Xuansu kept the mother talisman in his hand, and the seven spiritual officials held the child talisman. After Qi Xuansu burned the mother talisman, the child talisman in the hands of the seven spiritual officials The talisman will also burn, which is the signal for action.

Qi Xuansu held seven mother talismans. If he wanted to notify anyone, he would burn the corresponding mother talisman.

An hour later, Qi Xuansu and Su Li arrived outside Qiuhua Courtyard.

From the outside, Qiuhua Courtyard is not inferior to Wutong Courtyard, but the location is not as good as Wutong Courtyard, so it is classified as a second-class courtyard. If what Su Li said is true, then it is really not suitable to put it in the inner city, it is too sensitive. As for the quality inside, you have to see it to know.

It was only then that Su Li seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "It is said that the backer behind this hotel is a county prince."

After Qi Xuansu got along with Qiniang a lot, he didn't believe that Su Li had just remembered it. It was simply because Su Li was afraid that he would be jealous after telling her in advance, so he deliberately delayed it until now. Even if he was really frightened, due to the To save face, it’s hard to go back on your word.

Qi Xuansu just said: "Don't worry if you have too many debts. The king of Liao has already been provoked, and there is no shortage of a county king."

Su Li, who had been half-lowering her head, raised her head. Her face changed, from a pretty woman to a handsome young man.

Su Li led the way, and Qi Xuansu followed behind. Dressed in ordinary Taoist robes, they were not conspicuous, but they would not be looked down upon.

After all, Qi Xuansu has violated all three virtues of Taoist ancestors. He is not a frugal person. It can only be said that he is not extravagant.
