Chapter 130 Star Lord

Zhang Yuelu knew that the jade bracelet that revealed her true face was the key to her being seen.

Since the other party had already taken the initiative to come to her door, it saved Zhang Yuelu's effort. She stood up to pay the bill, and walked into the vast snowstorm in the surprised eyes of many people.

For a celestial being, the distance of dozens of miles was not far, and it was reached in a blink of an eye.

This is a small town, and there was no fortification for self-protection, because there was no need. Ordinary thieves did not dare to go wild in Zhili. If someone could really come to the capital, a small town would not be able to make any waves. Therefore, there were no city walls, fortification walls, or checkpoints here, and it was integrated with the surroundings. And because it was close to the official road, people came and went, and it was quite lively. The town not only had the "half-closed door" mentioned by Xuanji, but also taverns, teahouses, inns, various shops, etc.

Zhang Yuelu walked into the town and looked around. Because of the strong wind and snow, there was no one in sight. She had to walk into a teahouse.

Perhaps because it is close to the imperial capital, the people here are also well-informed. They immediately recognized the origin of the cloak and looked at Zhang Yuelu with awe.

Zhang Yuelu stretched out his hand to wave the shopkeeper over, first gave him a peace money, and then asked: "Where is the local half-closed door business?"

The shopkeeper was startled when he heard a woman's voice, wondering why it was a female priest, and then he understood that even if it was a male Taoist priest, if he wanted to do that, he would not look for this kind of half-closed door business, so what was the difference between men and women. This female Taoist priest is probably here to rectify the atmosphere. He heard that the imperial capital city is rectifying the atmosphere every few days, and those big and small brothels are suffering. Is this all the way to their small place?

If he pointed the way, wouldn't it ruin other people's business? Everyone is a neighbor, and they will see each other every day. This evil person cannot be done. But the Taoist priest in front of him is not easy to offend. When is there room for negotiation when the government does things?

Just when the shopkeeper was in a dilemma, Zhang Yuelu saw his difficulty and explained, "I'm here to look for someone, it has nothing to do with anything else."

The shopkeeper was relieved and said, "Go north, turn right after seeing a big poplar tree and there is an alley, the one at the end is it."

"Thank you." Zhang Yuelu turned and went out, heading north, and sure enough, he could see a poplar tree looming in the wind and snow.

At this time, a man stood under the poplar tree, holding an umbrella in his hand, and seemed to be waiting for someone.

Zhang Yuelu stopped not far away and raised his wrist, only to see that the jade bracelet on his wrist seemed to come alive again, with brilliance flowing and ripples.

The man holding the umbrella saw this scene and sighed softly: "'Purple Jade Chi', it's been a long time since I last saw it. It's a pity that there is only half of it."

Zhang Yuelu then knew that the bracelet was called "Purple Jade Chi" and asked: "Are you... the original owner of the bracelet?"

The man holding the umbrella answered irrelevantly: "Little girl, do you know what this bracelet is used for?"

Zhang Yuelu shook her head and said: "I don't know."

"This bracelet is used for self-defense." As the man holding the umbrella finished speaking, a piece of flying snow that was supposed to fall suddenly changed its trajectory and shot towards Zhang Yuelu like a flying knife.

Almost at the same time, the "Purple Jade Chi" on Zhang Yuelu's wrist flashed, and a purple light curtain appeared around Zhang Yuelu, blocking the flying snow. Then the flying snow melted and the light curtain disappeared.

Compared with Zhang Yuelu's own "Five Qi Smoke Net", the biggest advantage of the light curtain is that it can be activated by itself, and does not require the owner to distract and control it, which is most suitable for guarding against unexpected sneak attacks. Of course, after all, it is just a treasure. Even if the two bracelets are complete, they are only semi-immortal items. For the Tianshi who has entered the stage of immortality, it is of no great use. It is more of a symbolic meaning of the bracelet.

Zhang Yuelu said softly: "A sincere love for my son."

The umbrella holder smiled: "That's not the case, it's just a thought."

Zhang Yuelu asked: "Haven't you asked me yet?"

"We just met, so just call me Xuanji." The umbrella holder said.

Zhang Yuelu actually didn't ask this. Of course, she could guess that the person in front of her was the one who talked to her in the tavern before. What she wanted to ask was whether the other party was the clone of Ziguang Zhenjun, but Xuanji avoided the question, so she didn't ask deeply.

Zhang Yuelu said, "You are much older than me, so I will address you as Senior Xuanji. Senior should know why I am here."

"Of course I know." Xuanji said, "Zhang Wushou gave you this bracelet, which means that you are responsible for contacting the Ziguang Society. It's a pity that he thought of letting someone from Tiangang Hall contact us."

Zhang Yuelu said calmly, "It makes no difference. I won't stay in Tiangang Hall forever. I will be sent out in the future. At that time, I will be the deputy lord of a certain place."

Xuanji said, "The classic promotion route of the Taoist sect is to be sent out to be promoted one level, and then return to Yujing to be promoted one level. This cycle will be repeated, and you will enter the Golden Palace without knowing it."

Zhang Yuelu was silent.

If she is sent out, she will naturally not be an ordinary deputy lord. She will most likely start as the second seat, which means she is one of the three pillars of a local Taoist temple, and she must be at least a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest. After a few more years of experience, she will return to Yujing Jiutang to be the chief. In the end, most of them will be like the ancestors of the Cihang lineage, in charge of the Jiangnan Daofu, and become a Canzhi Zhenren as the Zhenren in charge of the mansion, and enter the Jinque. Then they will be transferred back to Yujing and become one of the nine Zhenren in charge of the hall, from a Canzhi Zhenren who ranked low to a Canzhi Zhenren who ranked high. At that time, the competition for the Grand Master will not be an empty talk.

Qi Xuansu is also on this path. If he can make great achievements in the Imperial Capital, he may replace Qi Jianyuan and become the last deputy head of Ziwei Hall, which is equivalent to Zhang Yuelu today. Then he will be sent to a place as the second-in-command and return to Yujing as the chief, or he will be the second-in-command in Yujing and sent to a place as the chief. In this way, although it is unlikely to compete for the position of the Grand Master, it is not difficult to reach the position of the Master of Knowledge.

Zhang Yuelu came back to his senses and continued, "Since the senior already knows my purpose, I will not repeat it. I just don't know what the senior and Ziguang Society think."

"Ziguang Society has no opinion, but as far as I am concerned, I am very interested in you." Xuanji said with a smile.

"Me?" Zhang Yuelu was startled at first, then his face darkened, "Does the senior want me to join the Purple Light Society?"

Xuan Ji said: "I do have this idea, but I also know that if a person wants to be a great master, how can he look down on the Purple Light Society? I just want to do a test to see if the person who will represent the Zhang family to contact us in the future is actually not worthy of his reputation? Or is he a person who lives up to his reputation?"

Zhang Yuelu frowned and did not give an immediate answer.

Xuanji continued, "Let's take a step back. If one day, our Purple Light Society decides to surrender to the Taoist sect, then the person who will be in charge of the matchmaking will most likely be you. Whether you can take on the important task is closely related to our Purple Light Society. We certainly hope that you can become the eighth-generation Grand Master, just as the 'Heavenly Court' hopes that the Li family will be the Grand Master, and the Qingping Society hopes that the Grand Master will come from the Quanzhen Dao. However, what you hear is not what you see. I hope you can understand."

Zhang Yuelu asked, "How do you plan to test?"

"The so-called pattern, strategy, scheming, vision, character, and skills, these things cannot be seen in a moment, and it is also difficult to quantify and assess them. As for the realm of cultivation, you are now a celestial being in the free and easy stage, not a child who has just been enlightened, so there is nothing to test." Xuanji put the five fingers of his left hand and the five fingers of his right hand together, and made a diamond-like gesture at the lower abdomen, allowing the oil-paper umbrella to hang in the air by itself to continue to block the wind and snow.

Zhang Yuelu asked directly: "What do you want?"

Xuanji smiled and said: "Why don't we play a game?"

"Game?" Zhang Yuelu asked.

Xuanji smiled and said: "Yes, game. If you win, then Ziguang Society will recognize Zhang Wushou's decision. If you lose, then sorry, you have to pay a small price."

Zhang Yuelu's face became serious: "Then... what is the price?"

Xuanji seemed to be able to see what Zhang Yuelu was thinking: "We are not men, of course we don't have any thoughts about your body. As I said just now, we just want you to join Ziguang Society, become the daughter of the Queen, and also one of the seven star masters of Ziguang Society, that's all. You know, for many people, this is not a punishment, but a great gift. It's just that for a young high-level master who is expected to become a great master, this is indeed a small punishment."

Zhang Yuelu fell into silence again.

There is no doubt that Xuanji's realm of cultivation is far better than hers, so she dare not say that she is sure to win. Letting her contact and contact a secret society and joining a secret society are two completely different concepts. If she joins a secret society, not to mention her own ambitions, she will also fail the high hopes of her master, Master Cihang.

Xuanji smiled: "Let me give you a little more chips. You want to be the headmaster, but you are suffering from a shallow foundation. For you, the Purple Light Society is a great help, just like the Qingping Society to the Quanzhen Dao and the 'Heavenly Court' to the Taiping Dao. Whoever can control this part of the power can be a good help even if he can't be a face. In addition, you are young after all, and your realm is limited. You have just entered the Xiaoyao stage of the heavenly being, and there is still a long way to go before you enter the Wuliang stage of the heavenly being. Although I can't let you enter the Wuliang stage immediately, I can give you a small opportunity to make you go faster on the road in the future."

Xuanji paused: "Of course, the premise is that you win this game. If you can't even me If you can't win, then what's the point of talking about the Grand Master? It's better to give up as soon as possible. "

Zhang Yuelu looked at Xuanji: "Who are you?"

Xuanji smiled and said: "I am the lady's attendant, I am the messenger of the True Lord, I am the incarnation of the Queen in the world, you can call me Xuanji Star Master."

Zhang Yuelu said slowly: "I accept this game."

"Very good." Xuanji clapped his hands, "Without further delay, let's start immediately."

After that, Xuanji turned and left: "But now is the preparation time, and it is also your last chance to regret. If you think you are ready, go to the house at the deepest part of the alley to find me. Of course, you can also turn around and leave here, just as if nothing happened. "
