Chapter 200 Li Minghuang (Part 1)

Time is very tight, the bidding is held during the day, and we have to leave by flying boat at night, with only less than an afternoon in between.

The bidding was coming to an end. Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu, as the fourth and second place, were invited to come forward and say a few words.

Because he was involved in the Qingping Association, Qi Xuansu didn't like to appear in public, but he didn't have stage fright. He does have a bit of humor inherited from Qiniang, but he usually only shows this humor in front of people close to him. In front of other people, his image is actually very serious. For example, when he was in the Imperial Capital, no one thought he was serious. The boss is a kind and easy-to-talk person.

This is the multi-faceted nature of human beings. A cruel butcher can also be a kind father to his children.

As for Zhang Yuelu, she is even more familiar with this kind of thing. A person who aspires to be a great master is not afraid of such an occasion. Today she is only speaking in the auditorium of Shangqing Palace. If she is a great master, she will have to speak in Jinque and When Zixiao Palace spoke, he faced three great masters, the great masters Pingzhang, the thirty-six great masters Shenzhi, and many ordinary masters.

Qi Xuansu's speech was quite satisfactory, neither brilliant nor timid. In short, it was just a cliche in official talk. It was bland and true, but it would not be found fault with.

It is better to remain silent than to promise everything. If you don't say any word, you are the master of that word. If you say it, you are the slave of that word. If you have to speak, then speak in official terms, as if you have said a lot, but also as if you have said nothing. Since you speak as if you have not said anything, you will naturally not become a slave to a certain sentence.

Zhang Yuelu's speech was much sharper. She said: "Lard is always stained with grease. It's not just the bidding held in the Shangqing Palace today, but all such activities. Ultimately, it is a good thing." , but there is still a question mark as to whether it can really be implemented.”

People in the Central Plains do not have the habit of writing with question marks. This is a habit of Westerners. With the exchanges between the East and the West, it became known to people in the Taoist sect and was used here by Zhang Yuelu.

Zhang Jucheng followed these words and said: "This matter really needs to be taken seriously. There must be clear accounts for the bidding and the subsequent docking with the Duzhitang. A practical and reliable supervision system should be established. Both parties will send people to review. Don't let good things turn into bad things." It’s a way for some people to make money.”

Finally, Zhang Wuliang, who represented the Heavenly Master, was responsible for the finishing touches.

The bidding came to an end.

"This Deputy Hall Master Qi is quite interesting." Li Minghuang said to himself as he stood up and left.

"I heard a saying that this Qi Xuansu has nothing to do with the Qi family, but has a deep relationship with the Yao family and the Pei family." Li Changsheng said calmly.

Li Minghuang said: "This is reasonable, if no one above is in this position."

Li Changsheng said with emotion: "Don't underestimate the Yao family. Although the Zhang family and the Li family are powerful, many situations are on the surface and can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye. For example, the bad things that happened to the Zhang family's major and minor sects, they Let's not talk about the fact that the majority of the sects are not in good positions and are on guard against other sects. For example, our Li family takes turns to be the boss, and there are many conflicts. However, the Yao family is really secretive. It is said that the Yao family is second only to others. The Zhang and Li families are the third largest Taoist family, but few people know what is going on within the Yao family. When have you ever heard of the factional fights within the Yao family?"

Li Minghuang was startled for a moment, and then suddenly realized that the Yao family was indeed shrouded in a layer of fog that made it difficult for people to see through. Compared to the flamboyant Zhang family and Li family, they were unusually low-key. Many times, the Li family's eyes always fall on their old rival Zhang family, and they inevitably ignore the existence of the Yao family intentionally or unintentionally.

Li Minghuang whispered: "When clams and cranes fight, the fisherman will gain. The Yao family must be on guard."

Li Changsheng said: "That's what you say, but how can hundreds of years of inertia be so easy to reverse? Patriarch Situ and Xuan Sheng have eased the relationship between the Zhang and Li families, but Patriarch Situ died unexpectedly, and the deposed Heavenly Master Zhang Jingchen returned. After severely injuring Mrs. Xuan Sheng, all those efforts were in vain. And with the passing of the first generation of Celestial Masters and the second generation of Celestial Masters after the ZTE, it was inevitable that the Zhang family and the Li family would return to the old path of confrontation. The groundwork has been laid long ago. A generation of earth masters personally married the Zhang family. This is the foundation laid early. We are not the only ones who know about the foreshadowing laid down several generations in advance."

plum

Ming Huang asked again: "What about the Zhang family? What foreshadowing did they lay?"

"Zhenjun Ziguang and the Heavenly Master himself are one of them. There are others, I don't know." Li Changsheng said.

The two walked out of the auditorium side by side.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared and blocked the way of the two of them.

It was Zhang Yuyue.

Li Changsheng's white eyebrows moved slightly, but he said nothing.

He is an elder and a guest, so there is no reason to argue with a junior. Besides, this is a romantic debt caused by this kid Li Minghuang, so Li Minghuang must handle it himself.

"What do you want Miss Zhang to do?" Li Minghuang stepped forward. Because this is the territory of the Zhang family, and now the Li family needs to ease their relationship, Li Minghuang did not use the title of "Jade Girl" when they were in love, but used a The rather polite title of "Miss Zhang".

Zhang Yuyue had thousands of words to say, she wanted to scold him bloody and wish she could eat his flesh, but when she actually stood in front of Li Minghuang, she felt like she was stuck in her throat and could not speak.

The most embarrassing person at the moment is Dong Baijing. As a husband, he should stand up for his wife, but when he confronts Li Minghuang, he can only humiliate himself. If he really has the ability to suppress Li Minghuang, why should he suffer from Zhang Yuyue's anger? Wouldn't it be better for Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu to live together as equals?

He was just a son-in-law, and no one would blame him. After all, a son-in-law was not supposed to support the family. A man who was not allowed to worship his ancestors was asked to stand up and protect a woman from wind and rain. This was like asking a woman in the harem to take the responsibility for the fall of the dynasty. It didn't make sense.

However, Dong Baijing hesitated for a moment and came to Zhang Yuyue's side. The couple stood side by side.

Li Minghuang frowned and was very unhappy.

Most men have a problem, that is, possessiveness.

Although Li Minghuang had abandoned Zhang Yuyue, in his subconscious, Zhang Yuyue was still his woman. If there was a chance, such as after he became successful, it would not be impossible to renew the relationship. But now Zhang Yuyue married someone else and no longer let him have her exclusively. This made him very uncomfortable, and the man who married Zhang Yuyue became very annoying.

A gloomy look flashed across Li Minghuang's eyes.

Seeing his wife didn't say anything, Dong Baijing took the initiative to say, "Li Minghuang, you should apologize."

Calling someone by name behind their back is fine, but calling him by name in person is a taboo, unless the status or seniority is much higher. Obviously, Dong Baijing doesn't have such a status.

In an instant, Li Minghuang decided to teach this ignorant guy a lesson. Afterwards, the Zhang family couldn't say anything. Who let this kid dare to call him by name?

Li Minghuang's face remained unchanged, but his right hand in his sleeve slowly clenched into a fist.

Li Changsheng noticed something, but didn't mean to stop it.

It's best to cut the Gordian knot. Zhang Jucheng obviously didn't want to mention the bad things of the past, because not many people knew the inside story. He probably didn't want to let the family scandal spread. If those things of the past were brought up again because of this little episode, forcing Zhang Jucheng to mention it, it would not ease the relationship, but a provocation. Then their trip to Yunjin Mountain this time would be a complete failure. It's better to nip it in the bud.

The next moment, Li Minghuang's figure suddenly swept forward.

Dong Baijing had no time to react.

However, someone reacted and grabbed Li Minghuang's wrist from the side when Li Minghuang's fist was about to touch Dong Baijing, preventing him from moving forward any further.

Even so, the fierce wind from the fist still caused Dong Baijing's hair and clothes to fly backwards, and even the skin on his face was wrinkled, and his lips turned up, revealing his gums.

"Brother Li, why are you so angry?" the person said.

Li Minghuang narrowed his eyes and looked.

It was not Zhang Yuelu, but Qi Xuansu.

Li Minghuang was in the real Wuliang stage. There were rumors that he would soon be promoted to the second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest, one level higher than Qi Xuansu. So it was not easy for Qi Xuansu to block this punch. He had already used the Golden Body Realm, the Indestructible Realm of Seeing God, and the Transformation Realm, the three realms were integrated into one, and the divine power, body spirit, martial arts strength, and true qi were used in a multi-pronged way.

He also used his intentions without intentions, which made Li Minghuang's punch return in vain.

However, Qi Xuansu knew that he should not show any fear. Not only did he not show any seriousness, his face was calm and he seemed to have a lot of strength left.

"This man called me by my name in person, so it is reasonable for me to punch him. Brother Qi stopped me, do you want to take the blame for him?" Li Minghuang said slowly.

Qi Xuansu smiled and said, "It's not that serious, right? We are all Taoist friends. Brother Li is generous, so why not just let it go."

"What if I don't want to let it go?" Li Minghuang did not give in.

At this time, Zhang Yuelu also came not far away and said, "Then let me learn from Deputy Hall Master Li's unique skills, how about it?"

Li Minghuang smiled and said, "Round battle? Why don't we both go together?"

Zhang Yuelu was about to speak, but Qi Xuansu raised his other hand to stop her: "Qingxiao, Brother Li has said so, so I'll meet Brother Li."

Zhang Yuelu did not raise any objections.

Li Minghuang said, "Brother Qi Dao and I have no grudges, so three moves is the limit."

"Three moves means three moves."

Before he finished speaking, Qi Xuansu had already made a move. His right hand was still holding Li Minghuang's wrist, and his left hand punched out, which was the "Cosmic Light Force" in the "Dan Tai Fist Intention".

This punch was not the "Gong Zhu Zhang", and time did not really slow down, but Li Minghuang's senses were affected and slowed down.

However, Li Minghuang was one realm higher than Qi Xuansu after all, so this effect did not last too long. At the last moment, Li Minghuang opened his right hand with five fingers to block Qi Xuansu's punch, and did not let Qi Xuansu's punch hit his face.
