Chapter 127 Five Fingers

Taiping Inn Branch, Yao Pei's room.

The doors and windows were closed, Yao Pei was holding a page of secret text, looking at it calmly.

At this time, Yao Pei was no longer as wooden as usual, her long eyes narrowed slightly, and her expression was quite sharp.

"Taishang Wangqing Jing" is known as "Heavenly Calculation", and it is normal to remember everything she has seen. She has memorized the original text of "Xuansheng Xianger Zhu" and does not need to compare at all. She can directly translate these secret texts in her mind.

Similar to Qi Xuansu's page of secret text, there are only three words in the first column, which is "Dingxin Monkey".

The second column is still "Buddha", and "Five Fingers" and "Ananda" and "Kasyapa" are also noted.

The third column clearly marks the members of the "New Five-member Group": "Big Finger" Top Secret, "Index Finger" Zhou Jiaoxian, "Middle Finger" Qi Xuansu, "Ring Finger" Zhang Yuelu, "Little Finger" Yao Pei.

Yao Pei had known about the plans of the two five-member teams long before going to the Imperial Capital, so she was not surprised. Moreover, she and Zhang Yuelu were fixed members of both the five-member team in public and the five-member team in secret, so this had little impact.

As for the ranking among the "five fingers", Yao Pei had no objection and did not care. For now, Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu were indeed more important than her. Both of them were involved in other allied forces, so of course the guests should be given priority. She was more curious about who this "big finger" was, and even she could not know his true identity.

At this time, "top secret" was not so much for confidentiality as it was a kind of taboo. It was not easy to say it out loud and did not want to leave any traces.

Yao Pei would certainly not ask her master Donghua Zhenren about this matter, because her master did not let her know for a reason, and it would be useless to ask.

Yao Pei continued to look down.

The next step was the specific responsibilities.

Unlike Qi Xuansu's "central liaison", Yao Pei's responsibilities were simple but not simple, that is, to keep an eye on Li Changge, and it would be best if the two could "exchange pieces". In other words, if Li Changge can't do anything, Yao Pei's mission will be completed. This is also the reason why Zhang Yuelu asked Yao Pei to contain Li Changge and Yao Pei agreed.

Yao Pei had to admit a fact that she was different from Li Changge, whether in realm cultivation or the forces that could be mobilized.

Let's not talk about the former for now. The advantage of the exiled immortals before longevity is indeed too great. Yao Pei can't say that she is discouraged. When she enters longevity in the future, this shortcut to heaven will become a dead end with no future. At that time, the offensive and defensive situation will be different.

The key now is the latter. The Imperial Capital is not Jinling Prefecture, which is located at the intersection of the three roads. For the Taiping Dao, the Imperial Capital is half of the home court. The Li family has infiltrated the court for many years. Whether it is a relationship of marriage or an alliance of interests, the Li family has played an important role in the Imperial Capital. Originally, these Li family princes did not give in to each other, but Li Changge's identity allowed him to temporarily integrate these princes. The power in his hands is far beyond the reach of Yao Pei, who is fighting in a foreign land.

So this task is easy to say, but it is difficult to do it.

From this point of view, Donghua Zhenren was not polite to his disciple and niece, and he also wanted to test her.

Without seeing how Yao Pei moved, the secret text in his hand broke into pieces.

Yao Pei came to the window, pushed the window and looked at the Penglai Pond outside, and fell into deep thought.

On the other side, Zhang Yuelu also received the secret text.

Like Qi Xuansu, she needed to refer to the very obscure "Xuansheng Xianger Notes". You should know that this is a book that the old Zhenren Sun Hewu has not finished reading, and there are not many people in the Taoism who have read it. The main reason is that after the five generations of great masters ascended to heaven, the three deputy masters deliberately downplayed the existence of this book. Over time, this book has become a half taboo. No one can say which law has been violated, and no one has heard of anyone being convicted for it, but if this book is mentioned openly, everyone will know it tacitly-this is not good. What is not good, go and understand it yourself.

As the niece of the Heavenly Master and the favorite junior of the Earthly Master, Zhang Yuelu didn't care about any taboos. It was just that she was still young and had limited time. Reading those vast Confucian and Taoist classics would consume most of her energy, and she really couldn't take care of these obscure books.

So this

was Zhang Yuelu's first time reading "Xuansheng Xianger Zhu".

She originally planned to just take a casual look and then translate the secret text, but she accidentally got into it.

She just felt that many of the ideas of the Fifth Generation Grand Master coincided with hers, and her understanding was more thorough and her insights were more profound.

Zhang Yuelu couldn't help but say: "If the Sixth Generation Grand Master could continue the various measures of the Fifth Generation Grand Master, the Taoist sect would at least not be like this today. Unfortunately..."

At this point, Zhang Yuelu's words stopped abruptly.

Who denied the various decisions of the Fifth Generation Grand Master? It was not the Sixth Generation Grand Master, but the three current Deputy Masters, namely the Heavenly Master, the Earthly Master, and the National Master.

Although they are now hostile to each other, many years ago, they had a tacit understanding and formed an alliance.

It is even difficult to say that they are doing something perverse, because in the eyes of many people, the three deputy masters are actually correcting the chaos, and behind them are countless Taoists whose interests have been damaged.

Zhang Yuelu naturally understands this truth.

It's just that these Taoists whose interests have been damaged by the five generations of masters have damaged the interests of the Taoist sect.

Young people are always passionate. There are actually many young people like Zhang Yuelu who are not used to the current situation and are determined to save the Taoist sect. Outsiders call them the young and vigorous faction. Su Ran is an overly radical young and vigorous faction, while Su Li is a relatively moderate young and vigorous faction.

This is the internal struggle between the old and the new that was covered by the struggle between the three sects. The young and vigorous faction, mainly composed of the eighth generation disciples, is gradually coming to the stage, which makes the internal struggle of the sect more complicated, and it is really difficult to distinguish between the enemy and the friend.

Zhang Yuelu came back to his senses and stopped studying the "Xuansheng Xianger Notes" and began to translate the secret text.

Next to the original secret text, a row of small characters of translation were soon filled.

The first row was also the three words:

Dingxin Monkey!

The second row was "Buddha", "Ananda", and "Kasyapa".

The third row was "Five Fingers".

Zhang Yuelu's face gradually became solemn.

Zhang Yuelu did not know in advance about the reorganization of the five-member team, but he had expected it from many hints from his master and was not surprised.

Because Zhang Yuelu is not a Quanzhen Taoist, the identity of "index finger" is not marked. However, based on the information she has, Zhang Yuelu can roughly infer that "index finger" is Zhou Jiaoxian, the chief deputy palace master of the Imperial Capital Dao Mansion. After all, he is a Quanzhen Taoist disciple. In addition, Shi Bingyun has restrained Li Ruoshui, and he is the only one left in the three pillars of the Imperial Capital Dao Mansion, so it is not difficult to guess.

She also has a question, who is the mysterious "big finger"?

There is no doubt that among the "five fingers" of the "Buddha" to suppress the "heart monkey", the "big finger" is the key among the keys. Otherwise, with only the four of them, even if there are no other obstacles, just facing the "heart monkey" that has been bred, the chances of winning will not be too great.

After all, the "heart monkey" is known as the second "Emperor Shitian". Once it is successfully refined, it will be an immortal, and an extremely special immortal who cultivates the mind.

However, Yao Pei, as a disciple of Donghua Zhenren, has a "Pei" in his name, so it is still hard to guess. After all, Zhang Yuelu is separated by another layer, so it is even harder to guess.

She had no choice but to give up and continue reading.

Next is Zhang Yuelu's specific duties.

Qi Xuansu is the liaison, Yao Pei is doing his best to contain Li Changge. If it goes as expected, Zhou Jiaoxian should use the advantage of his position to mobilize some of the power of the Imperial Capital Daofu, and will personally go down when necessary.

As for Zhang Yuelu's task, it can be regarded as making up for some of Qi Xuansu's shortcomings. Her task is to contact the Ziguang Society.

Just as Qi Xuansu is in charge of the Qingping Society, because Qi Niang is Qi Xuansu's godmother and a senior member of the Qingping Society, there is no barrier between the two, and they can communicate at any time, and there is no need to worry about communicating, and they can express their intentions more accurately. If you change to someone who is not familiar with Qi Niang, if you can't find Qi Niang at a critical moment, or if you say the wrong thing because of suspicion and fear and cause misunderstandings, there will be no place to regret.

On the other side, Qi Xuansu is not familiar with the Ziguang Society. Let him contact the Ziguang Society,

and go through the process of testing, contacting, and familiarity. It is better to let a Zhang family member be directly responsible.

There are not many Zhang family members in Beijing. There are a few, but they are not core members and cannot take on important tasks. Zhang Yuelu is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

Originally, Zhang Yuyue, as a granddaughter with a closer blood relationship, was more suitable than Zhang Yuelu, but it was a pity that she was not a good person. This is also a regret for many Zhang family members. How can the direct descendants of the Li family and the Yao family be able to take charge? How can the direct descendants of the Zhang family be overshadowed by the descendants of a small sect?

Zhang Yuelu was surprised and not surprised when she saw this task.

Asking the deputy head of Tiangang Hall to contact the secret society seems to be a mockery of the entire Taoist sect, but if you think about it carefully, it makes some sense.

The attitude of the Taoist sect towards secret societies has never been to kill them all, and there is also the option of recruiting them.

In fact, since the Xuansheng era, Zhengyi Dao has been in charge of ghosts and gods, and has the deepest contact with ancient immortals. Not to mention that Zhang Wushou and Zhang Wuhen, the brothers and sisters, have the blood of ancient immortals, Taiyin Zhenjun, whose power was originally above the three ancient immortals, was recruited by Yan Feiqing, a Tianshi of a different surname.

Among the three existing secret societies, the Purple Light Society is the only one without blood debt, with the least guilt and the most likely to be recruited.

If one day, the Dao Sect is struggling and cannot support multi-line operations, and really wants to recruit the Purple Light Society to relieve the pressure, it is possible that the Zhang family will have to come forward.

Once the overall situation rises to the entire Dao Sect and the entire world, it cannot be judged by simple good and evil.

Zhang Yuelu understands this truth.

That's why she didn't object to Qi Xuansu keeping Lin Yuanmiao by his side. The reason is very simple. Since she doesn't object to the entanglement between the Heavenly Master and the Purple Light Society, then she can't use double standards against Qi Xuansu, otherwise she will become a villain who bullies the weak and fears the strong.

Her insistence is that she can not be a saint, nor a good person in the traditional sense, but she can't be a villain.

But when she really has to face the Purple Light Society in person, she still feels weird in her heart.

After dealing with so many secret societies, it's the first time to sit down and talk.
