Chapter 128 Grandparents and Grandchildren

When Qi Xuansu was about to leave Yujing for Dijing, Donghua Zhenren had specifically talked to Qi Xuansu. When Zhang Yuelu was about to leave Yujing for Dijing, she was treated with higher standards than Qi Xuansu. Not only did Cihang Zhenren talk to her, but Tianshi also talked to her.

In the 42nd year of Jiushi, from the first day of the first lunar month to the 30th day of the sixth lunar month, the national master became the rotating great master and exercised the authority of the great master. From the first day of the seventh lunar month to the 30th day of the lunar year, Tianshi replaced the national master as the rotating great master. Now it is not the end of the year yet, Tianshi is still the rotating great master and stays in Yujing, so it is not troublesome to see Zhang Yuelu.

To be fair, Zhang Yuelu is not valued in the Zhang family, but it does not mean that she is not valued by Tianshi. Tianshi Zhang Wushou has never married and has no children because of his own bloodline. There is no big difference between the big and small clans for him. They are not his granddaughters, but they are all granddaughters. Even if there is a difference in bloodline, they can't escape the word "Zhang" after all.

Therefore, Zhang Yuelu can often see the Heavenly Master. Not to mention the big and small festivals every year, just from the fact that Zhang Yuelu can learn about the future from the Heavenly Master, it can be seen.

However, the power of the Zhang family's main sect is too great. The Heavenly Master is constrained by his own bloodline, and has some concerns about "not getting the position properly". When he was able to ascend to the position of Heavenly Master, there were also some twists and turns. It was also thanks to the three deputy masters before the five generations of the Great Master deposed. So he was unwilling to use heavy hands on the clan members to avoid causing trouble again, so he did not conflict with the main sect again for Zhang Yuelu, his niece.

If it were the most legitimate great Heavenly Masters, such as the old Heavenly Master Zhang Jingxiu, there would be no such scruples and they could let go to suppress the power of the main sect. However, even Zhang Jingxiu was still attacked by the great sect after ascending to heaven. The abandoned Heavenly Master Zhang Jingchen forcibly seized the position of the Great Heavenly Master with the support of the Zhang clan. Neither Zhang Luanshan, the first generation Heavenly Master after the integration of Taoism, nor Yan Feiqing, the second generation Heavenly Master, could compete with this father figure.

After seizing the throne, Zhang Jingchen brazenly overturned the North-South peace negotiation decision left by Zhang Jingxiu, opposed the unification of Taoism, and started a war with Taiping Dao again, which was a perverse act. This led to the Xuansheng's personal visit to the Great Zhenren Mansion and the interruption of the Yunjin Mountain vein.

Because the North-South peace negotiation led to the unification of Taoism, Zhang Jingxiu's status in Taoism in later generations was extremely high and he was respected as "Zhang Zu". If there had been no unification of Taoism and no Xuansheng to rectify the chaos, after Zhang Jingchen came to power, with the support of the Zhang clan, he would have excluded Zhang Jingxiu's heirs and then completely denied Zhang Jingxiu. Zhang Jingxiu's posthumous reputation can be imagined.

But is there still a Xuansheng now?

If Zhang Wushou was only seventy years old and had thirty years left, he wouldn't mind helping this junior. When he ascended to heaven and passed away, Zhang Yuelu would have grown up and could take over the position of Heavenly Master normally. She would also be able to suppress the opposition within the Zhang family.

But the reality is that Zhang Wushou won't be alive for long. After all, they are grandfather and grandson, not uncle and nephew, and there is a generation between them. If the throne is passed down from one generation to another, the country will be in doubt. Haven't you heard about the story of the Taizu of the Great Wei passing the throne to the grandson?

According to ten years, after ten years, he ascended to heaven and passed away. Zhang Yuelu was just over thirty years old. Being a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest would be the top, but she might not be a real person. How could she be worthy of the position of Heavenly Master? How could she suppress such a big Zhang family? Isn't this waiting for the major forces to counterattack?

That would put Zhang Yuelu on the fire, and her life would be in danger.

If he didn't care about Zhang Yuelu, the two sides would not become enemies. As they were from the same family, the Dazong would not take the initiative to do anything to Zhang Yuelu. With Zhang Yuelu's ability, backed by the Zhang family, and with the help of the Cihang lineage, she would have a bright future.

How to choose does not seem to be a difficult problem.

Zhang Wushou can manage for a while, but not for a lifetime.

Even immortals cannot have everything they want, and immortals are not omnipotent.

Is it worth it to gamble on his own reputation and Zhang Yuelu's future and life?

Time waits for no one. Zhang Wushou does not want to repeat the same mistakes, so he has to compromise with the Dazong.

It's all because Zhang Yuelu doesn't have a good father.

However, even if he doesn't support her, Tianshi Zhang Wushou still treats this granddaughter who was named by himself differently, and occasionally takes her to teach him personally.

But this teaching is not the same as that teaching. It doesn't talk about magic and magic, because Zhang Yuelu is from the Cihang lineage, nor does it talk about the current situation, because the grandfather and grandson have different ways. One is the elders and the other is the young. How can they talk about it? Only talk about the strange stories of ancient and modern times, or narrate without comment, or talk about the facts.

So Zhang Yuelu learned many strange insights from the Tianshi.

This meeting was a rare time for the grandfather and grandson to talk about serious matters. At that time, Zhang Yuelu was still a little confused, but now it seems that it was paving the way for today.

After explaining the importance of going to the Imperial Capital, Tianshi Zhang Wushou did not directly state the matter. He first talked about his sister Zhang Wuhen, then his parents, especially his father, the legendary son of the gods.

At that time, Zhang Yuelu did not think much about it. He just thought that he was old and was about to ascend to heaven and die. His mentality was already very different. It was inevitable to recall the past and miss the old friends.

Finally, the Tianshi gave Zhang Yuelu a bracelet, which was given by his father to his mother. It was originally a pair, but later it was given to the brother and sister respectively.

Let's not talk about Zhang Wuhen's bracelet. Zhang Wushou's bracelet should have been a gift from his mother to his daughter-in-law. Unfortunately, Zhang Wuhen never married and had no children. He only had nephews. Most of his grandchildren were useless. Zhang Yuyue was like this. Not only did she have no ability, but she was also terrible at judging people. Zhang Wushou was too lazy to mention her and even didn't want to see her.

So the bracelet was never given away and remained in Zhang Wushou's hands for decades.

In the end, after looking around, it was Zhang Yuelu's granddaughter. Fortunately, there was this granddaughter, so she had some confidence when she met the Earth Master. You have a granddaughter, I have a granddaughter, and no one is inferior.

It was inevitable that the bracelet would be given to Zhang Yuelu.

Fortunately, when the Heaven Master gave the bracelet, there was no one around. If the people in the main clan knew about it, the men would be better off, but Zhang Yuelu's sisters, aunts, and aunts would be jealous and say that the old man was partial.

In a sense, this bracelet is a symbol of the mistress of the Zhang family, like the queen's phoenix seal.

Zhang Yuelu destroyed the secret text, rolled up her sleeves, and revealed the jade bracelet on her wrist.

This jade bracelet is different from ordinary jade bracelets. It looks like a jade dragon, connected from head to tail, and every scale is clearly visible.

If Zhang Yuelu still doesn't understand the intention of the Heavenly Master, then he is unworthy of being the youngest third-rank Taoist priest. This bracelet is not just a thought or a symbol, but also a key item.

Zhang Yuelu held the idea that he dared not refuse the gift from his elders at that time, and did not look at it carefully. However, when he looked at it carefully again, he felt something strange.

Zhang Yuelu gently rubbed the jade bracelet on his wrist and circulated his true energy.

Wherever his fingers passed, the green color gradually faded, revealing a rich purple.

Zhang Yuelu's face changed slightly, and he continued to inject true energy.

The jade bracelet, which was slightly "blinded" by the Heavenly Master, gradually revealed its true appearance.

The whole body was purple, and the light was flowing.

Zhang Yuelu stretched out an index finger and gently tapped the position of the dragon head of the jade bracelet. Suddenly, the light was shining, and the whole room had a bit of "brilliance", and even the purple ripples visible to the naked eye were rippling, reflecting Zhang Yuelu's face.

Zhang Yuelu even had an illusion that the jade dragon was swimming around her wrist, just like a real dragon that had been sleeping for a long time and was awakened by Zhang Yuelu's finger, but it did not wake up completely, but turned over in its sleep.

Zhang Yuelu looked carefully and found that on the fine scales of the dragon, there were complicated and obscure talisman patterns engraved, layer upon layer, densely packed, and ingenious. Moreover, these talisman patterns also flickered, and even their positions were not completely fixed. With the movement of the jade dragon and the flow of light, it was like the ups and downs of the waves, and like breathing.

Zhang Yuelu felt that her eyes were opened, and she couldn't help but sighed: "This is a top treasure."

If the two bracelets were put together, it might be a veritable semi-immortal item.

At the same time, Zhang Yuelu also realized that it was not strange for the Heavenly Master to have a semi-immortal object, but the Heavenly Master's father could not be compared with the Heavenly Master. The son of the immortal was subject to many restrictions. Not only was his daily life monitored, but his realm and cultivation were also under the control of the great Taoist masters, who were afraid that he would become an ancient immortal again. So throughout his life, he failed to enter the stage of immortality.

In this case, where did he get the semi-immortal object?

For a man, in addition to the master-disciple relationship, there are the father's family, the mother's family, and the wife's family. The father's family is the Zhang family, which has semi-immortal objects, but will not give them to the son of the immortal. The wife's family is just an ordinary family. Not to mention semi-immortal objects, even treasures may not be available. Then only the mother's family is left, that is, the legendary Zi Guang Zhenjun.

Is this a token left by Zi Guang Zhenjun to his son?

Zhang Yuelu looked at the jade bracelet and roughly understood how to contact Zi Guang Society.

From this point of view, this task is really only Zhang Yuelu can do. I just don't know if Zhang Wuhen has contacted this grandmother.

Thinking about this, Zhang Yuelu left the residence.

She was not sure what it would be like to contact the Purple Light Society. If it was a small-scale divine descent, it would be fun. Even the Tianshi couldn't protect the deputy head of the Tiangang Hall from performing a divine descent in the Imperial Capital.

Some things can only be done under the table. Putting them on the table is fatal.

Zhang Yuelu left the Taiping Inn branch, went out of the Haosheng Southeast Square, passed through the South City, and went out of the Imperial Capital.

In addition to farmland outside the Imperial Capital, there are also many villages and towns, which are still densely populated. However, there will no longer be Tianchen Division and Shenshu Imperial Guards here, only ordinary garrisons, Qingluan Guard Hundred Households and Taoist temples of the Imperial Capital Daofu.

This of course also means risks, but Zhang Yuelu believes that the Tianshi must have considered this point. Since the Tianshi did not specifically remind her, there is no big problem.
