Chapter 161 Four Beauties
As the eight snake heads suddenly fell to the ground, the body of Yamata no Orochi began to petrify rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a weird stone mountain. The wound on its abdomen just turned into a deep cave. Above the stone mountain, clouds and mist are constantly emerging. ..
The reason why the Taoist sect was able to kill the Yamata-no-Orochi this time was mainly due to calculated calculations and careful planning beforehand. It dispatched two "Yinglong" ships, four pseudo-immortals, two creation gods, and four immeasurables. The celestial beings and several other celestial beings arranged the formation in advance, using one immortal item and seven semi-immortal items, and also used something that was hard to find such as "Shebi Corpse Poison". What's more important is that after Yamato no Orochi came back from the dead, his strength dropped drastically like Tamamo Mae's.
If this doesn't kill it, then there is no justice.
Jiachen Lingguan looked up at the stone mountain transformed by the Yamata no Orochi, feeling a little disappointed: "Is it gone now? The dragon that the imperial master killed, the dragon beads, dragon horns, dragon beards, dragon scales, dragon tendons, and dragon meat, But they’re all treasures, and there’s nothing left of this weird snake?”
Yao Pei said: "After all, they are resurrected from the dead. There is only rotten flesh on the zombies. Of course there is a treasure on the Yamata-no-Orochi, which is the 'Tian Cong Yun Sword', one of the three major artifacts. It is not inferior to the dragon's skin, and is even better." , but it was taken away by Su Zhanwu Zun a long time ago.”
Jiachen Lingguan sighed, feeling very sorry.
After killing the Yamata no Orochi, there are many follow-ups, such as promoting the Taoist sect to eliminate harm for the people, demonstrating the Taoist sect's illustrious martial arts, and frightening the remnants of the Zunbang sect. However, it is difficult for Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu to participate in it anymore. After all, they have to continue to rest. . So the two of them just had to wait for their merits to be recorded. With Yao Pei as his niece, Qi Xuansu was not too worried.
…
This news quickly spread within the Taoist sect. For people in the Taoist sect, it is nothing new for the national master to kill the dragon. Isn't it natural? But it is very remarkable that four young people in the infinite stage participated in the siege and successfully killed an immortal-level demon.
Don't worry about whether this big demon is in its prime, just ask you whether it is in the immortality stage.
In the West, this kind of behavior would be called "killing gods."
After going through many difficulties and dangers, the brave men finally worked together to defeat the evil god Orochi, which was enough to be sung by future generations and become an epic.
Master Cihang walked into the gate of Tiangang Hall. Along the way, there were many fewer people visible to the naked eye. These people had all gone to Fenglinzhou battlefield.
Master Cihang serves as the headmaster of Tiangang Hall and is not responsible for directing the war.
The specific difference between the real person in charge of the Tiangang Hall and the real person in charge of the army lies in the internal and external aspects.
When there is peace and no war, the real person in charge of the Tiangang Hall is responsible for the daily management, construction, and training of the team of spiritual officials. He has personnel rights and can decide the promotion of spiritual officials.
This is the foundation of the three halls. Ziweitang holds the personnel power of Taoist priests, and Tiangang Hall holds the personnel power of spiritual officials. Therefore, Ziweitang is the head of the nine halls, and Tiangang hall is the second in the nine halls, one for civil and one for martial arts. Beichen Hall is a special supervisory agency, like a sharp sword hanging over everyone's head. It monitors Taoist priests and spiritual officials internally, eliminates traitors, collects intelligence externally, provides intelligence and consultation to Jinque's senior officials, and provides information and consultation on certain special occasions. Sometimes, some targeted assassinations will also be carried out. At the same time, Beichen Hall also has the function of maintaining public security in Yujing, so Beichen Hall is different from Fengxian Hall.
In short, during the peace period, the real person in charge of Tiangang Hall had a greater influence on the spiritual officials.
When wartime comes, the real person in charge of the army will take over the full command with the authorization of Jin Que, and the real person in charge of the army will be responsible for all relevant matters.
Theoretically, all Shenzhi Masters can take up the temporary position of Commander in Chief, including the Master of Tiangang Hall. However, the Master of Tiangang Hall is generally not allowed to serve as the Master of the Army to avoid power imbalance.
The structure of the Taoist sect is designed to restrict each other. The real person in charge of the Tiangang Hall has the right to manage but not to command, and the real person in charge of the army has the right to command but not the right to manage.
Of course, this also has disadvantages. It is easy to know the soldiers without knowing the generals, and the generals without knowing the soldiers. However, there is no perfect system in this world, and there must always be choices.
Because of this, after the war started, Master Cihang did not interfere too much in the Fenglinzhou war. He only learned about the situation on the front line from various battle reports.
It's not that Master Cihang is indifferent to this, but as a senior member of the Taoist sect, he has already known about this war, especially after the national master personally ended the battle, there is no suspense anymore, all he has to do is wait for the result. Keeping abreast of the situation on the front lines every day is nothing more than a routine matter.
Last night, Master Cihang met two people one after another.
The first person was Zhang Jucheng. He succeeded Xu Chou as the real person in charge of Jiangnan Daofu. However, Xu Chou only took office after the first major Jiangnan case. So much to say. The person who really has the ability to influence Jiangnan Province is the old master of the palace, Cihang Cihang. Zhang Yuelu was able to solve the major Jiangnan case, and Cihang's support was crucial. This is also the embodiment of Cihang's influence on Jiangnan Province. Just because Master Cihang is obviously weaker than Master Donghua and Master Qingwei, we cannot think that she is not a powerful person. No matter how you say it, she is the third person in Jinque.
Zhang Jucheng naturally had to communicate with Master Cihang before taking office. Both of them belong to the Zhengyi camp and are old acquaintances. It is not about worshiping the mountain. Master Cihang will definitely give his full support to Zhang Jucheng, but this time You still have to have an attitude, and it’s best to say many things openly and honestly.
In addition, as the future patriarch of the Zhang family, Zhang Jucheng also talked to Cihang Zhenren about Zhang Yuelu's marriage. After all, Zhang Yuelu is still Cihang Zhenren's apprentice. In Taoism, the master and apprentice have always been like father and son, especially after Zhang Yuelu was determined to be the successor of Cihang Zhenren, it was like mother and son. It was reasonable for the Zhang family to go around Cihang Zhenren and to ask for Cihang Zhenren's opinion. It was even more reasonable for Cihang Zhenren to intervene in Zhang Yuelu's marriage. Otherwise, why would Qi Niang find Cihang Zhenren instead of someone else?
After Zhang Jucheng left, the second person Cihang Zhenren met was naturally Qi Niang.
As prospective relatives, the two still talked about the child's marriage. After all, the last time they didn't reach an agreement and parted unhappily, they had to talk again.
With Cihang Zhenren's status and position, she naturally wouldn't be too fussy about how much money she spent. Even if Qi Niang didn't take a penny, she wouldn't bother too much. The key was still Qi Xuansu's identity.
Although the word "gamble" sounds bad, many things are like this. Taiping Dao is gambling, Zhengyi Dao is also gambling. Cihang Zhenren and Tianshi are betting on Zhang Yuelu, intending to fully support her in her fight for the position of the eighth generation of the Grand Master. Naturally, there can be no mistakes.
To be frank, in the eyes of Cihang Zhenren, Qi Niang is surnamed Yao and is a member of Quanzhen Dao. Although Zhengyi Dao and Quanzhen Dao are allies, this alliance is not so solid. If Taiping Dao is defeated, the two families will fight each other next. You must not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others. Regarding Qi Xuansu's identity in the Qingping Society, it is not the Taiping Dao Li family that is on guard, but the Quanzhen Dao Yao family. After all, Qi Xuansu is not surnamed Yao. If at a critical moment, Quanzhen Dao treats Qi Xuansu as a discarded child and uses Qi Xuansu to drag Zhang Yuelu into the water, the result is that Yao Pei takes the position, and Cihang Zhenren will regret it for the rest of his life.
The two talked all night, like a peasant woman bargaining for vegetables, and finally reached a preliminary consensus. Qi Xuansu can temporarily retain his identity as a member of the Qingping Society, but he must leave the Qingping Society at the right time. As for when the right time is, we will discuss it slowly in the future.
In addition, there are minor details. Qi Niang promised that after Qi Xuansu returns from Fenglinzhou, he will start looking for a place to live in Taishangfang, Yujing, for a period of one hundred years.
As for the false accusation, Qi Niang also promised that it has been resolved, and the next step is revenge time. As for how it was resolved, Cihang Zhenren did not ask, and Qi Niang did not say.
Because of these things, Cihang Zhenren came a little later today. When he walked into the signing room, he found that the secretary had placed a court report on the table.
Cihang Zhenren picked up the court report and glanced at it.
Her eyes suddenly stopped, and her expression changed subtly.
At this time, Cihang Zhenren's little apprentice, that is, the closed disciple, walked in.
The full name of "Junior Sister Xiao" mentioned by Zhang Yuelu is Xiao Yueru. If Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu are already at the end of the eighth generation of disciples, then this girl is almost at the edge of the last year. A few months later, she will be classified as a ninth generation disciple.
Like a parent, Master Cihang pays the most attention to Zhang Yuelu, followed by Bai Yingqiong, but the one he likes the most is the little disciple. Valuing and liking are two attitudes. One is to support the family and hold power, and the other is to enjoy the love of parents and be a rich and idle person.
So Xiao Yueru was very relaxed and casual in front of Master Cihang. Seeing Master Cihang staring at the newspaper in his hand, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Master, what happened in Fenglinzhou?"
Master Cihang retracted his gaze: "Your senior sister has made another contribution."
Xiao Yueru asked again: "Do you have a brother-in-law?"
Master Cihang smiled and said: "Where can you get a brother-in-law?"
Xiao Yueru said: "I heard that my senior sister has already arranged a marriage, and she also brought Deputy Hall Master Qi home to meet the Heavenly Master, so he is her brother-in-law."
Master Cihang had to say: "Okay, of course there is your brother-in-law. In addition to the two of them, there are also Yao Pei from Quanzhen Dao and Li Changge from Taiping Dao. They participated in killing a big monster in the longevity stage."
Xiao Yueru couldn't help but open her mouth wide, unable to hide her surprise.
"Longevity stage?"
"Big monster?"
"Killed?"
Although she had never seen a big monster in the longevity stage, she knew what this concept was. Even if Master Cihang took action personally, she would not dare to guarantee 100% certainty.
Are these people really the eighth generation disciples? Are you sure they are not the seventh generation disciples? They are both eighth-generation disciples, but she is not even a celestial being. The gap between people is too big.
Cihang Zhenren said: "Of course, it is not something that the four of them can do. There are also four pseudo-immortals and two celestial beings of creation."
Xiao Yueru still has not completely recovered from the shock and said: "Even so, it is still amazing, especially my brother-in-law, who can come from behind. In my opinion, he should not be called the Third Scholar of Taoism in the future, but the Fourth Scholar of Taoism."
