Chapter 126: Calming the Monkey
Just as what you say comes true, three days after the third revenge of the Qingping Society, when Qi Xuansu was about to take action against Dongcheng and Xicheng, a very unfamiliar Taoist priest sent Qi Xuansu a copy of "Xuansheng Xianger Zhu" and left in a hurry without saying anything.
The next day, Qi Xuansu received another unopened secret code through a messenger.
On the third day, Donghua Zhenren sent a message, asking Qi Xuansu to clearly report the specific situation and his views on the Five Elements Mountain, including speculation.
Qi Xuansu specifically asked Qiniang whether some information could be said? For example, about "Dongzhu".
Qiniang's answer was: "You can say anything, what can't be said."
Qiniang's answer gave Qi Xuansu a reassurance, which means that Donghua Zhenren and Qiniang have a tacit understanding, only asking for information, and will not investigate the specific source of the information.
So Qi Xuansu made a detailed report on the Five Elements Mountain to Donghua Zhenren.
The masters who can be confirmed in the Five Elements Mountain are: the eunuch ancestor of Xuanhuiyuan, the leader of the "inn" "Dongzhu", and the Liao King who is in charge of the Shenshu Imperial Army.
The rest of the uncertain ones include the "shopkeeper", "cook", "odd servants" and "waiters" of the "inn". They may be there, or they may just be swapped with the "owner", as well as the senior officers of the Shenshu Camp.
Those suspected to be involved include the Langzhong and the chief of the Tianchen Division, the commander, the assistant commander, the co-director and some of the thousand households of the Qingluan Guard.
No one in the Imperial Capital Daofu, including the real person in charge of the palace, Li Ruoshui, should be directly involved in it. At most, they assisted from the side.
Li Changge was very close to the royal family and the Qingluan Guard, and directly intervened in the case of the King of Liao, forcing the King of Liao to finish the case. It is impossible to determine whether he and the Taiping Dao behind him will interfere at a critical moment.
Qi Xuansu felt that it was not enough, so he wrote Lin Yuanmiao's speculation on it. In order to conceal the existence of Lin Yuanmiao, Li Xuansu still deduced the process from the result. He proved that the "East Master" and the "Shopkeeper" could not appear at the same time, and then combined with the "reverse scale" of the Five Elements Mountain, he made a bold guess and came to a vague conclusion that the "East Master" and other pseudo-immortals might have to maintain a certain formation inside the Five Elements Mountain.
After Qi Xuansu confirmed it, he was ready to submit this report. He did not use the "Xun Fu Array" of Jinque or Ziwei Hall, but the private "Xun Fu Array" of Donghua Zhenren. Not only was there no signature or seal, but it also used secret language.
Qi Xuansu compared his report with the secret language dictionary and translated it into several pages of messy numbers, and submitted it through the "Xun Fu Array".
Because the "communication talisman array" is not very safe, there is a risk of being intercepted by people with great supernatural powers. The key is that Qi Xuansu does not have a private "communication talisman array". He uses the "communication talisman array" of the Imperial Capital Daofu, and Li Ruoshui, the head of the Imperial Capital Daofu, is a member of the Taiping Dao, which increases the risk of leaks, so the secret language is still necessary.
As for why they don't use the mother-child talisman to contact directly, it is also because of the problem of leaks. Qi Niang can slap Qi Xuansu across the mother-child talisman, which shows that for pseudo-immortals, the mother-child talisman itself is a loophole. It is not difficult to isolate, interrupt, eavesdrop, and spy on the conversation of the mother-child talisman. Ordinary trivial matters are fine, but for such a major event that affects the whole body, confidentiality is the first priority.
Donghua Zhenren did not respond. Qi Xuansu can be sure that Donghua Zhenren must have received it. If he didn't receive it, Donghua Zhenren would definitely ask for it again.
No response, it means that Donghua Zhenren recognized this information.
After this incident, Qi Xuansu had a hunch that the time to really take action was not far away.
As expected, just when Qi Xuansu was about to take action against Dongcheng, that is, three days after Qi Xuansu submitted a secret report on the situation of the Five Elements Mountain, Donghua Zhenren sent Qi Xuansu a cipher text composed entirely of secret words through a private "Xun Fu Array".
Qi Xuansu took the cipher text to his signing room, opened all the arrays, and asked Lin Yuanmiao to be alert. Then he took out the cipher code to translate it, but found that it didn't match.
Qi Xuansu looked puzzled and fell into thinking.
Soon, he seemed to have realized something, put down the cipher code, and took out the "Xuansheng Xianger Notes".
Qi Xuansu placed "Xuansheng Xianger Notes" on the left and the cipher text on the right, and began to translate the specific content according to the numbers on the cipher text.
Each string of numbers has a certain interval.
The first string of numbers is "一二一".
Qi Xuansu immediately turned to the 121st page of "Xuansheng Xianger Notes".
The second string of numbers is "zero seven".
Qi Xuansu pressed the index finger of his left hand on the "zero seven", and at the same time moved the index finger of his right hand to the 121st page of "Xuansheng Xianger Zhu", and counted to the seventh column from right to left and from top to bottom according to the writing habits.
The third string of numbers is "十三".
Qi Xuansu counted to the thirteenth word in the seventh column.
After a moment, Qi Xuansu translated the first sentence and wrote three words on a blank official letter: "centering ape".
Qi Xuansu looked at these three words and murmured: "The Great Sage escaped from the Eight Trigrams Furnace, and the Heart Monkey settled under the Five Elements Mountain."
This sentence comes from one of the four great storybooks, telling the story of a natural stone monkey who cultivated to become an immortal and made trouble in the Heavenly Palace. Among them, the seventh chapter is "The Great Sage escaped from the Eight Trigrams Furnace, and the Heart Monkey settled under the Five Elements Mountain". The heart monkey escaped from the Taoist's alchemy furnace and was later suppressed by the Buddha under the Five Fingers Mountain. The Five Fingers Mountain is also known as the Five Elements Mountain. It is not the Five Elements Mountain near the Imperial Capital, but just a fiction.
"Under the Five Elements Mountain, there is a person who cultivates his mind. However, this person who cultivates his mind is not a real person, but a creature created by human power. It turns out that he is such a 'mind monkey'. The key lies in the word 'fixed'." Qi Xuansu seemed to be talking to Lin Yuanmiao, but also seemed to be talking to himself.
The code name of the person who cultivates his mind is "mind monkey". The so-called "fixed" actually means suppression. Since the "mind monkey" under the Five Elements Mountain is to be suppressed, then the Five Elements Mountain must be attacked.
The code name of this operation is "fixed mind monkey".
Qi Xuansu continued to translate the remaining secret text, and wrote the words "Buddha" on the blank official letter. Qi Xuansu drew a short horizontal line after the words "Buddha" and wrote the words "Taoism".
Qi Xuansu kept writing new words on the blank official letter, and the more he wrote, the more surprised he was.
In the secret text, Donghua Zhenren said that the five-member group was the five fingers of Tathagata Buddha, and explicitly requested to secretly rebuild a five-member group, eliminating Li Changge and others, and adding Qi Xuansu. Qi Xuansu was the middle finger, Zhang Yuelu was the ring finger, and Yao Pei was the little finger. As for the other two fingers, Donghua Zhenren did not say it clearly, only saying that the thumb and index finger would appear when necessary.
This is a brand new five-member group hidden in the dark. Targeting the "heart monkey", its target is the "heart monkey".
Qi Xuansu then understood that there was such a deep meaning in the original decision of the five-member group.
However, what Qi Xuansu did not expect the most was that Donghua Zhenren actually promoted him to the third position, above Zhang Yuelu and Yao Pei.
Although there may be factors of Qi Niang and Qingping Society, the side breakthrough of Qi Xuansu, the idle man, also made Donghua Zhenren realize the importance of Qi Xuansu, and Li Ruoshui and Shi Bingyun were restraining each other, and no one would personally go down, and Qi Xuansu represented Shi Bingyun.
After considering all these factors, Donghua Zhenren decided to entrust Qi Xuansu with an important task. This has nothing to do with realm cultivation, job grade, and bloodline identity, but only with the situation and position.
Now Qi Xuansu has become a knot of several forces, or an intersection point. Zhang Yuelu, who represents Zhengyi, Yao Pei, who represents Quanzhen Dao, Qi Niang and Xie Linyuan, who represent Qingping Society, and Shi Bingyun and Qin Quanyi, who represent the local snakes in the Imperial Capital, all have intersections with Qi Xuansu, and the intersections are quite deep, just like lines intersecting at Qi Xuansu, and turning into a spider web through Qi Xuansu. This is an advantage that Zhang Yuelu and Yao Pei do not have, and this is why Qi Xuansu is above the two of them.
I think Li Changge should have noticed something, so he deliberately approached Qi Xuansu, but was stopped by Yao Pei and Zhang Yuelu.
The next step is Qi Xuansu's specific task.
Contact the various forces of "Buddha" in the Imperial Capital City, and suppress the "heart monkey" with the cooperation of "Buddha's" disciples "Ananda" and "Kasyapa".
Qi Xuansu fell into deep thought.
Lin Yuanmiao said that if the pseudo-immortals wanted to suppress the earth's energy, they might not be able to spare their hands, so the final winner might be decided by the first level of heavenly beings. In other words, the realm of the five fingers of "Buddha" was not high. So why did "Ananda" and "Kasyapa" come?
In the original story, the Buddha came to the heaven to subdue the monkey with these two disciples, and no other Buddhas and Bodhisattvas accompanied him. So in this "calming the monkey" action, it means that "Ananda" and "Kasyapa" will participate in the action, but they are not the final deciding factor, but more of a restraining role, such as restraining the heavenly beings like the Liao King?
It is not impossible.
Overall, both sides are relatively restrained. No immortals personally come to the scene, and they do not move, just letting the people below fight each other.
However, the pseudo-immortals still enter the scene.
Qi Xuansu only feels that the heaven will give this person a great task.
There is no doubt that there are great risks in this, and if you are not careful, you will die without a burial place. However, this is also a great opportunity. As long as this thing is done, Qi Xuansu will be qualified to become a high-level member of Quanzhen Dao. If Quanzhen Dao finally wins and Donghua Zhenren becomes the chief, it will not be difficult for him to get a position of a Canzhi Zhenren in the future.
As for the specific time of action, it has not been determined and will be notified later.
This means that the preliminary preparations for the Five Elements Mountain have begun. It is like a battle to win, the army has not moved before the troops move, and now the army has already set out, just waiting for the decisive battle.
Qi Xuansu checked it again, and after confirming that there were no translation errors, he read the ciphertext, memorized all the contents, and then crushed the original ciphertext and the translated official letter into ashes.
