Chapter 148: Asking for Divination

The commendation order clearly stated that the award should be issued to all Taoist sects, and naturally it would be read out publicly in the camp. Therefore, there was also a small ceremony to gather the Taoist priests of the fourth rank and above, spiritual officials, and fellow Taoists who stayed in the camp to watch the ceremony. Zhang Qihan, the great master of Pingzhang, personally read out the award order, and Qi Xuansu came to the stage to receive the award.

After Zhang Qihan handed the commendation order into Qi Xuansu's hands, he praised: "Tian Yuan can be said to be the most accomplished person among the eight generations of disciples, and the number one hero in many praise paintings."

There was immediate applause from below.

The commendation order is divided into two parts. One is a formal written document, which consists of three parts: title number, main text and closing paragraph. It includes the main achievements of the recipient, the specific content of the award, and future expectations for the recipient.

There is also a simplified version for hanging, with only a few lines of writing. The title only has five words: Golden Que Commendation Order. Then start a new line with the content: Qi Xuansu made outstanding contributions in the Fenglinzhou War and will be specially commended. This is the order. The signature is: Pei Xuanzhi, the chief counselor of Jinque, and the time is: the tenth day of March in the forty-third year of Jiushi.

Qi Xuansu first looked at Zhang Yuelu. Zhang Yuelu smiled while applauding, saying nothing.

Li Changge and Yao Pei were the first to step forward to congratulate Qi Xuansu and show their magnanimity.

Then there are powerful figures such as Li Tiangang. These people could still regard Qi Xuansu as a junior regardless of their status before, but now they must treat Qi Xuansu as an equal regardless of whether they are willing or not.

Finally, Xu Kou, Lu Yuting, Han Yongfeng, Qian Daren and others should be congratulated rather than congratulated.

It's not just Zhang Yuelu who can see the routine of dividing one step into three steps. There is no shortage of discerning people in the Taoist sect, and many people have already figured out the taste.

Taoism claims to be equal, but how can there be true equality in this world? Classes of all kinds are everywhere.

Qi Xuansu is more concerned about the salary issue. In the past, because of his job level, Qi Xuansu's salary was not adjusted, but in terms of job subsidies, he changed from principal to deputy hall leader, which increased by one hundred yuan. Qi Xuansu originally received a basic salary of 200 yuan of peace money per month. With various subsidies, the total amount was 400 yuan of peace money per month. After one year, the total income was 4,800 yuan in peace money.

After becoming a regular employee, the job subsidy will remain unchanged for the time being, and the basic salary will be increased to NT$400 per month. With various subsidies, the total will be NT$800 per month. After one year, the total income was 9,600 yuan in peace money, which can be regarded as almost 10,000 yuan in peace money.

In fact, at this point, the issues of remuneration and credit no longer make much sense. As long as Qi Xuansu thought about it, let alone 10,000 yuan of peace money, even 100,000 yuan of peace money was nothing. However, Qi Xuansu was still very happy. This was legal income and could withstand inspection. If you want to go higher, in addition to controlling your lower body, you must also control your hands.

At this point, Qi Xuansu admired the Grand Master of the Five Dynasties very much. Although the Grand Master of the Five Dynasties had mixed reputations, his legacy could be worthy of the word "frugal". After removing all the things that go with the position of the Grand Master, his personal life His property, including his collection of books, was converted into peace money, which was only about 300,000 yuan in peace money.

You must know that this is an Immortal Immortal. Even if he does not hold the position of Grand Master or is not even a member of the Taoist sect, he will not be very poor. All the savings of the Fifth Generation Grand Master are basically the remainder of the annual silver. It would be a joke if the dignified Taoist leader didn't even have 300,000 yuan of peace money. Let’s look at the family fortunes of the three divisions. Which one is not rich enough to rival the country?

Back in the camp, Qi Xuansu took the simplified version of the commendation order and looked at it from left to right: "I have to find someone to frame it and then hang it in the study or the signing room."

Zhang Yuelu said with a smile: "It has to be framed and hung. This is a real military achievement. It's a pity that we don't use Western medals, otherwise we would have to award you a big medal to hang on your chest."

This is the beauty of Zhang Yuelu. She always encourages Qi Xuansu and supports Qi Xuansu to become better, instead of suppressing and controlling Qi Xuansu by belittling Qi Xuansu and elevating herself.

Isn't this a kind of self-confidence? Even if Qi Xuansu becomes the head master, she can still control it.

Qi Xuansu smiled and said: "I have no interest in hanging medals. I prefer wearing a sword of wisdom."

Zhang Yuelu said: "It won't be long."

While the two were talking, they heard a commotion outside. Qi Xuansu already knew who was coming and quickly put away the commendation order.

He came before anyone else: "Xiao Qi, check out!"

Sure enough, Xiao Yin ignored Mu Jin's blockage and rushed in with great enthusiasm, followed by Lin Yuanmiao.

The debtor has arrived.

Xiao Yin waved the note in his hand and read: On the tenth day of the second lunar month in the 43rd year of Jiuzhi, Qi Xuansu was in Anyon County, Ise State, Fenglinzhou, and owed Yin fifteen demon hearts in the Wanmiao heavenly stage. After the Taoist sect captures Ise, it must be repaid in full. If it is not enough, it must be exchanged for the equivalent value of the corresponding elixir. This is hereby established. There is also Qi Xuansu's seal on it.

Of course Qi Xuansu did not forget this matter. He killed a lot of monsters when he attacked Dayu Shenshan, but in that case, it was impossible for him to collect monster hearts, so afterwards he specifically asked Master Qingwei for instructions, and Master Qingwei Without fussing over anything, fifteen kilograms of dragon meat was specially approved for him.

The Taoist sect needs dragon bones and dragon beads to build flying boats. Dragon scales and dragon tendons can be used to make treasures. Dragon blood can be used to make elixirs. Dragon meat has a relatively small effect. It can increase qi and blood and strengthen the body.

Qi Xuansu once raised a question, Xiao Yin is a yin creature, is it appropriate to eat dragon meat?

Master Qingwei did not explain in detail, but just said: "Just give it to her, she will definitely like it."

Qi Xuansu was skeptical, but Qingwei Zhenren was well-informed and thought he would be right.

Qi Xuansu took out the dragon meat he had just received from the Xumi object. It had been cut into cubes of the same size and neatly stacked in a special box.

Xiao Yin was curious at first, and his nose twitched slightly. After opening the box, his eyes widened instantly.

"This, this is..." Xiao Yin stuttered for the first time.

Qi Xuansu pretended to be indifferent and said: "Dragon meat."

Xiao Yin couldn't help licking his lips: "All mine?"

Qi Xuansu nodded and said: "All yours."

Xiao Yin closed the box again with a "snap", then opened his mouth and swallowed the whole box into his stomach.

This kind of good thing should be kept and enjoyed slowly.

Strengthening the blood and physical strength is secondary, the key is that it tastes good, it is the best delicacy in the world, and it can best satisfy the appetite.

Qi Xuansu said: "Give me the receipt, we are even."

Xiao Yin returned the receipt to Qi Xuansu and patted his belly.

Qi Xuansu destroyed the written document and asked, "Anything else?"

Xiao Yin nodded heavily: "I mentioned last time, the seal of the castle tower, you, me, Deputy Hall Master Zhang and Lao Lin, the four of us will go and explore it."

Qi Xuansu turned to look at Zhang Yuelu: "Qingxiao, what do you think?"

Zhang Yuelu thought for a while and said, "We have time now, so we might as well go and take a look, but we must be very careful. I suspect that this seal is one of the five seals of Izanagi-no-zun."

Qi Xuansu thought about it carefully and decided to report it, just in case.

Qingwei Zhenren did not object to this. The focus of Taoism now is not on Izanagi-no-zun, but on the Westerners in Satsuma and the remnants of the royal family in Pingjing. Since it is not a task assigned by Taoism, it is not a credit if it is done well. At most, there will be some unexpected gains, or magical powers, or personal belongings. In addition to immortality and resurrection, Taoism does not lack such things. If you accidentally make a mistake, it will be a big mistake.

Qingwei Zhenren is not Qi Niang, and will not discipline Qi Xuansu like a child.

After Qi Xuansu reported, he made some preparations and set out on the journey back to Ise.

Today, Ise has been completely under the control of the Taoist sect, so there is no need to hide their identities. Under the leadership of Xiao Yin, the four came to the abandoned Heike Castle.

If Ise Shrine wins, it may re-install guards here, but Ise Shrine was defeated, and the yin energy in Ise was everywhere, so naturally no one would come to this place.

Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu did not rush to see the seal, but first went around the castle, including the two corpses, and carefully examined them. After listening to Lin Yuanmiao's speculation about the corpse, Qi Xuansu generally agreed.

Finally, they came to the sealed place.

It was still the same here, and no one had been here during this period.

Xiao Yin asked tentatively: "Do you want to open it?"

Qi Xuansu was somewhat tempted. Last time he opened the seal, he got the head of Shuten Douji. This time it shouldn't be too bad. However, he couldn't be blindly optimistic. If the thing released was too powerful and they couldn't clean up the mess, it would be a loss.

Zhang Yuelu said directly: "Ask for divination."

"Gui Zang Lantern" can predict the future, so it is not a joke to decide major events through divination.

Qi Xuansu, Xiao Yin, and Lin Yuanmiao all agreed.

Zhang Yuelu took out the hexagram from the Xumi object and used the formula to make a divination.

However, to the surprise of several people, the hexagram of this divination was extremely messy and almost indistinguishable.

Zhang Yuelu shook his head: "It is disturbed by some kind of power, which also shows that the seal here is very unusual."

Qi Xuansu said: "Let me do it."

After that, Qi Xuansu directly unfolded his "celestial body" and then used the "Purple Star Dou Shu" given by Zi Guang Zhenjun. Don't be afraid of being disturbed, just seek enlightenment from Zi Guang Zhenjun directly. That is, the Purple Light True Lord will do the divination on his behalf, and then tell him the result.

However, each time you get a revelation, you need to spend a certain amount of divine power, which can be understood as the cost of getting a revelation, or as a sacrifice to the gods. In the past, Qi Xuansu had never used it because of his lack of divine power. Now Qi Xuansu still has 4,500 ke of divine power in reserve, which is quite generous.

Qi Xuansu spent 500 ke of divine power to seek revelation from the Purple Light True Lord. No matter how many questions Qi Xuansu has, it can only last for one stick of incense. If you want to extend the time, you have to pay more.

"Is this seal dangerous?" Qi Xuansu asked the first question.

A purple star appeared in front of Qi Xuansu, flickering.

This means that there is a certain danger, but it is not yet life-threatening, about a fifty-fifty chance.

If it is dim, it means that the danger is great and there is a worry of death. If the star shines brightly, then there is probably something good happening.

Qi Xuansu asked the second question: "How to unlock the seal?"
