Chapter 192 My Honey Is Your Poison
After the messenger left, the confrontation between Zhang Yuelu and Tan Taiqiong continued.
Tan Taiqiong couldn't help asking, "I just don't understand, what do you like about him?"
In fact, Tan Taiyun himself felt guilty about saying this. What do you like? Let's not talk about other things. Looking at the entire Taoist sect, the only people who are third-rank deputy hall masters at such a young age are Zhang Yuelu and Qi Xuansu.
With Zhang Yuelu's current status, there are only four possibilities: serving Taoism and not marrying, marriage alliance, marrying down, and marrying a son-in-law. There is almost no such thing as marrying up. Even if she marries Li Changge, it can only be said to be a marriage alliance, not a marriage up.
Serving Taoism and not marrying is not a good choice. Many Taoist women choose this path only after being hurt in love. Zhang Yuelu doesn't have this idea. She has no intention of following her and can't follow her. She is more likely to let things take their course.
In this case, it is unlikely to marry down. For the Zhang family, it is too much of a loss. Since it is a marriage down, it means that the other party is not as good as oneself, and may not be able to help the Zhang family. Maybe the Zhang family needs to help. What's the point of giving it to others?
Then there are only recruiting son-in-law and marriage alliance.
Recruiting son-in-law sounds good, but it is unrealistic. Because the master-disciple relationship in the Taoist sect is almost like that of parents and children, some people may spend more than ten years to find a good apprentice. There are also families like the Li family who take in adopted sons-in-law and can also get promoted. Therefore, there is almost no such thing as a pearl covered in dust. Young people with real ability and talent have long been snatched up, just like catching sons-in-law under the list, and will never fall to the point of being a son-in-law. Even if there are, they are mostly ambitious people, and they will be bitten back if they are not careful, such as Li Minghuang.
If you really want to recruit a son-in-law, it is difficult to find a suitable candidate. It is very likely that you will find a tool to help give birth to a child, which Zhang Yuelu cannot accept.
So, in the end, the only way left was marriage.
Marriage requires a good match.
So as Zhang Yuelu's status changed, the marriage partner also changed.
At first, it was Yan Mingchen. At that time, Zhang Yuelu's status was not prominent, but it was a good match.
But as Zhang Yuelu rose step by step, Yan Mingchen was not so good, and the marriage became a marriage of inferiority.
Anyway, there was no verbal promise or contract, it was just a trial stage, and Zhang Yuelu strongly opposed this matter from the beginning, so it ended in vain.
This matter was not considered a broken engagement, and Yan Mingchen did not lose anything, so naturally he could not make a three-year agreement in Yunjin Mountain, and he was much older than Qi Xuansu, let alone the idea of not bullying the poor young.
Then Zhang Yuelu's marriage became complicated. After considering various factors such as family background, ability, talent, and future, there were only two people who were comparable to her, one was Li Changge and the other was Yao Pei. The Li family was the Zhang family's great enemy, so they were naturally excluded. In the context of the alliance between Quanzhen Dao and Zhengyi Dao, Yao Pei seemed to be extremely suitable, a match made in heaven, but fate made people think that Yao Pei was also a woman.
In principle, the Dao sect did not oppose two women to become Dao couples, but you could not expect an ancient family like the Zhang family, which had lasted for thousands of years, to accept such a thing, and Zhang Yuelu made it clear that she liked the opposite sex and had no feelings for women. Yao Pei did not seem to be someone who was interested in women, she was more like a person who would not marry in accordance with the Dao.
At this time, Qi Xuansu, as a substitute for Yao Pei, seemed very suitable.
You are the deputy hall master, and I am also the deputy hall master.
You are a celestial being, and I am also a celestial being.
You are the daughter of the Zhang family, but you are from a small clan. My surname is not Yao, but Qi Niang's is Yao. It's barely the same.
So Zhang Jucheng was very happy to recognize the reality, and did not try to break up Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu, but was ready to talk to the two and plan for the future.
Since it can't be stopped, then seek the greatest benefit.
This is what a mature family head should do.
Tan Taiqiong was just being angry, revealing the meaning of being unreasonable.
However, to Tan Taiqiong's surprise, Zhang Yuelu did not talk about deputy hall master, heavenly cultivation, and bright future. She only said two words: "Good person."
"Good person?!" Tan Taiyun was a little bit unable to react.
The concept of these two words is too broad, so broad that it is the same as not saying anything.
So Zhang Yuelu added: "This is not the first time he came. The last time he came, his position was very low, his grade was not high, his cultivation was average, and his future was uncertain, but I still brought him here. At first, I did want to play a play, but I changed my mind halfway through. I decided to make a real play. What else could it be?"
Tan Taiyun said: "This kid is full of cunning, how can he be a good person?"
Zhang Yuelu said: "My honey is your poison. What I think is good may be what my mother thinks is bad. I don't deny this."
Tan Taiqiong took a deep breath, and her chest rose and fell: "So you are deliberately going against me."
Zhang Yuelu was not polite: "You are going against me. ???????????????"
Dan Taiqiong almost took action on the spot with just this sentence.
Zhang Juqi was quick-witted and stood between the two of them, eliminating a conflict invisibly.
Tan Tai Qiong said angrily: "Your wings have hardened."
Zhang Yuelu said calmly: "When the eagle's wings are hardened, it will leave the protection of its parents' wings, and the parents will no longer interfere with who the eagle will form a mate with."
In fact, the reason is very simple. Why can parents decide their children's marriage? It is because the children are not strong enough to start a family by themselves, and they have to rely on their parents. Since they have to rely on their parents' support, how can they have the confidence to say no to their parents?
But Zhang Yuelu is different. She left her parents' protection very early, so she naturally has such confidence.
The good people Zhang Yuelu said are not moral in the ordinary sense, but a deeper human nature.
The requirements of ordinary women for men are probably more material, such as houses and peace money. Marry a man, marry a man, wear clothes and eat. Not shabby.
At a higher level, they will probably require some emotional values, such as good looks, good speaking, and understanding women's thoughts.
But at Zhang Yuelu's level, it is not meaningful to pursue these. She is not short of material things, her mind is strong enough, and she will not seek some superficial emotional values. She doesn't even need the so-called dependence or sense of security, so her eyes fall on the most fundamental human nature. In plain words, it is whether this person is good or not, which is similar to many children who have not experienced the world.
This is probably like seeing a mountain as a mountain, seeing a mountain as not a mountain, and seeing a mountain as a mountain again, returning to its original state.
Many people think they are "good people", but in fact they have not been tempted enough, have not seen real beauty, real gold and silver, and real power.
The reason why they seem to be open-minded and calm is just because they think these things have nothing to do with them, and it doesn't matter whether they lose or lose them. But once they find that these things are related to them, they can't remain open-minded and calm.
To give a simple example, many people talk about Zhang Yuelu behind her back, saying that her appearance is just so-so, her temper is bad and hard, and she is a fake daughter from a small clan, so why put on airs. But if Zhang Yuelu really has that kind of meaning, they will immediately change their faces and don't mind kneeling and licking her.
Most things in the world are judged by deeds rather than hearts.
Speaking of beauty, Qi Xuansu has seen many beauties along the way. In terms of appearance, Li Qingnu is better than Zhang Yuelu, and in terms of family background, Yao Pei is better than Zhang Yuelu. There are so many beautiful women who are willing to pay for him, but he is not tempted, let alone thinking about the happiness of having many wives.
Speaking of real money, Qi Xuansu did not take a penny of the 200,000 Taiping money, and chose to face the Tianchen Division directly. So far, he has not taken any crooked ways. Except for the occasional spoils of war, he lives on the regular silver.
As for power, Qi Xuansu has real merits and has not thought about luck. It is true that there are factors of background and connections, but if he himself is not strong, whether it is Donghua Zhenren, Tianshi or Dishi, they will not look at him more because of Qi Niang.
The beautiful first encounter is just an opportunity. What really touched Zhang Yuelu was the trip to the Western Regions to kill Diswen and the subsequent journey home.
These scenes are not big, but for the two people at that time, they are full of danger.
When life and death are at stake, human nature is most evident.
Then we have to mention the shocking leap that is always mentioned.
Some people may say that Qi Xuansu did not die, which is nothing. But when he jumped, Qi Xuansu did not know that he would not die, and he jumped with the determination to die.
So Zhang Yuelu could not forget Qi Xuansu. It's just that because of her own experience, she is introverted, will not easily show her emotions, and will not say many words, so she does not seem so enthusiastic.
But for Zhang Yuelu, Qi Xuansu is a good person. Although he does not look good on the outside and does not look like a good person, after in-depth contact, you will find that he is much better than most people who are beautiful on the outside.
Of course, Qi Xuansu also has flaws, such as lying to her, liking to act against the rules, etc., but in her opinion, these are all details, mainly caused by some incorrect teachings, and she is confident that she can turn them around.
Qi Xuansu once secretly swore in his heart that he would not do anything to let Zhang Yuelu down.
Zhang Yuelu had already decided that she would not marry anyone other than Qi Xuansu.
Zhang Yuelu looked at Tan Taiqiong deeply and said in a deep voice: "I have made up my mind, mother, you don't need to say anything more."
On the other side, another Zhang family celestial being was knocked out by Qi Xuansu, and his back hit a towering tree that ten people could hug together. The tree was almost a spirit, and the trunk was tough and did not break, but it still shook a little, and the leaves fell, and then the Zhang family celestial being slid down slowly along the trunk.
Qi Xuansu had already asked for the Dharma image at this time.
However, this Dharma image was quite strange. The left half was moon white as the main color, and the right half was purple as the main color. The styles of clothing were also obviously different. Fortunately, they were all women, so it didn't seem too inconsistent.
Behind the Dharma image was a bright moon that looked like the backlight of the Buddha, and the twinkling stars around the bright moon.
It was a pattern of stars and moon together, and the stars supporting the moon.
Qi Xuansu didn't understand why it turned out like this, he only knew that after being descended by the Purple Light True Lord, his Dharma image had changed and its power increased greatly.
Qi Xuansu merged the Dharma image again, used the Dharma body realm, and punched another celestial being. Although it was just one punch, the body spirit and the Dharma body worked together to beat the celestial being back twenty feet.
The young masters of the Zhang family did not "attack together", but just fought a round-robin battle with Qi Xuansu.
However, these Zhang family members probably have been sitting in a well and watching the world for a long time. They are not uninformed, but they are simply arrogant and don’t know Qi Xuansu’s methods. This makes Qi Xuansu feel that he has won by surprise. Their realm cultivation is not weak, but they don’t know how to deal with a "freak" like Qi Xuansu, and they are also inexperienced, so several celestial beings have been defeated in succession.
After the last celestial being was beaten back twenty feet by Qi Xuansu, he lost his courage and dared not move forward.
Qi Xuansu looked around and asked, "Who else has any objections?"
