Volume 1 Seven Rank Taoist Priest Chapter 142 Cousin
From Gangneung to Shangqing, you can take either the water route or the land route. It's just that the ship of the city hall does not go to Wuzhou, and Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu can only change to land.
The two went straight to Wuzhou all the way non-stop, and these days, they rarely lived in the downtown thoroughfares of the big cities, either camping in the wilderness and mountains, or settling down in some Taoist temples located outside the city, until they entered the territory of Wuzhou, and then slowed down.
After all, this is Zhengyi's core sphere of influence, and it is relatively safe. Who would provoke the grandchildren of the Heavenly Master without opening their eyes under the noses of the Zhang family? Although it is actually the earth master who values Zhang Yuelu more, but in the eyes of outsiders who don't know the inside story, Zhang Yuelu is still a disciple of the Zhang family and a disciple of Zhengyi, and the heavenly master personally gave the name, so he must love this grandchild very much, if something happens to her in Wuzhou, it will be the face of the Zhang family.
Wuzhou, located in the southeast, east of Jiangzhou, south of Lingnan, west of Xiaozhou, north of Luzhou, lake and a total of the river, since ancient times for the dry and Yue land, Wu head and Chu tail, the shape of the victory of the district, the article of the state of righteousness, the land of white crane fish and rice. The entire Wuzhou Chengxuan Political Envoy Department has jurisdiction over thirteen prefectures and seventy-eight counties.
Shangqing Mansion is one of the thirteen mansions, as the name suggests, because Zhengyi in addition to believing in the ancestors of Taishang Dao, and Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun is respected, less than two miles away from the Dazhen Mansion is the Shangqing Palace, so this mansion is named because of Zhengyi, Shangqing County and Shangqing Town in Shangqing Mansion, the entire Shangqing Town is owned by Zhengyi, many of the remote descendants of the Zhang family are distributed in Shangqing County, and the children of the small sect who are not enough to live in the Dazhen Mansion live in Shangqing Town.
Although Shangqing Mansion and Shangqing County have prefects and counties set up by the imperial court, it is the Zhengyi Zhang family that really speaks, which is exactly the same as the sage mansion in Qizhou.
However, after entering the territory of Wuzhou, there is still a considerable distance from Shangqing Mansion, at this time Qi and Zhang are located in Fenning County, Xunyang Prefecture, located in the northwest of Wuzhou, and it is also the closest county to Jiangling Prefecture.
Approaching the county seat of Fenning County, Zhang Yuelu calculated the time: "Today is November 20, but I'm not in a hurry to go to Shangqing Mansion, it just so happens that I have a cousin who is married here, so I can stop by to visit." ”
Qi Xuansu's expression suddenly became a little unnatural: "Is this necessary?" ”
"Of course it is necessary." Zhang Yuelu said, "Since you have decided to see my mother, then we will try to do our best, I thought about it for a while, and it is not appropriate to let you go to see my mother directly." So before that, there can be a little transitional rehearsal. ”
"Rehearsal." Qi Xuansu's face froze.
Zhang Yuelu explained: "My cousin has a lot in common with my mother in temperament. ”
Qi Xuansu coughed lightly and asked, "Then what is your relationship with this cousin?" ”
"Not bad." Zhang Yuelu thought for a while, "She was also in Yujing in the past, when I first arrived in Yujing, I received a lot of care from her, and I often interacted with her, which can be regarded as a good conversation." Later, because of some things, she left Yujing and returned to Wuzhou, and then she got married, and she didn't even live in the capital city, but lived in the county seat. ”
"Don't wait for a good Yujing, run to the county seat? Do you know how hard it took me to get back to Yujing, how do I think the gap between the rich and the poor is bigger than the gap between humans and demons? Qi Xuansu said casually, "Also, you said that something happened, could it be that you were hurt by love?" ”
"How do you know?" Zhang Yuelu said in surprise.
"Really?" Qi Xuansu was also a little surprised, "That's what it says in the book, if you are hurt by love, you lose your soul and don't want anything." ”
Zhang Yuelu sighed: "Although it is not good to talk about the rights and wrongs of people behind your back, since you have said this, I will briefly mention it to you, you can know it in your heart." Although my cousin has the same surname as me, she is from a large sect, and I am only from a small sect. If I hadn't had better qualifications, and I had entered the master's disciple again, and I had been appreciated by the earth master, I would definitely not be able to compare to her. For example, if the Zhang family is regarded as a royal family, then she is a princess, and I am probably not even a county lord, but only a county lord. ”
"Zhang's daughter." Qi Xuansu summed it up succinctly, "The kind that can reward me with a few thousand Taiping dollars." ”
Zhang Yuelu glanced at him: "You just remember this sentence, right?" ”
At the beginning, Zhang Yuelu once said to Qi Xuansu: "If I were the eldest lady of the Zhang family, and I had a grandfather who was a heavenly master, I would reward you with thousands of Taiping dollars, so that you would not fall into the eyes of money all day long." ”
Qi Xuansu smiled: "Who let me fall into the eyes of money." ”
Zhang Yuelu continued: "This cousin has had a smooth ride since she was a child, and she went to Yujing very early and lived in Taishangfang. ”
"Taishangfang." Qi Xuansu interrupted, "I remember that you also have a place to live in Taishangfang?" You said it was transferred to you by an elder. ”
Zhang Yuelu blinked: "Do you remember, the house in Taishangfang was originally hers, and after she left Yujing, she gave it to me in the name of the Heavenly Master, and I only found out later, after all, what kind of person is the Heavenly Master, how can he care about these trivial things." But I don't live there, I usually live in Xuandu, which is closer to Beichen Hall and Tiangang Hall. ”
"Xuandu." Qi Xuansu interrupted again, "You actually live in Xuandu, this is the first time I know about this." But in retrospect, the first time we met was in Taiqing Square, and when you left, you did go in the direction of Xuandu, not in the direction of Taishangfang, I actually forgot about this stubble. ”
Zhang Yuelu said with a smile: "I originally wanted to get along with you with the identity of the beginning of the Taichu." didn't expect that if you wanted to join Tiangangtang, then you wouldn't pretend, and you could only use the identity of Zhang Yuelu. You thank me so much, I personally approved you to enter Tiangang Hall. ”
Qi Xuansu laughed.
He suddenly remembered that he also had another identity, the "Golden Wrong Knife" Wei Wugui.
Zhang Yuelu restrained her smile and said, "Don't interrupt, listen to me." After my cousin arrived in Yujing, she naturally entered the Nine Halls. Although we have a good relationship, from my point of view, she is also a flower garden Taoist, far worse than you, so she has never entered Beichen Hall, Tiangang Hall, and even Tianji Hall is too tired and tired, first in the ancestral hall, then to the Duzhi Hall, and finally into the Ziwei Hall. ”
Qi Xuansu said: "Awards, awards." ”
Zhang Yuelu said to herself: "Later, she met a person, that person is the same as you, who served in Tiangang Hall, was born in Vientiane Dao Palace, I don't know who my parents were, and the only master also died early." ”
Qi Xuansu touched his chin: "From this point of view, the tastes of your two sisters are very consistent. ”
Before the words fell, Qi Xuansu was lightly kicked by Zhang Yuelu in the crook of the leg.
Zhang Yuelu said lightly: "What do you call my taste?" I've noticed that you've been a lot bolder lately, and you've always dared to talk nonsense in front of me. ”
Qi Xuansu coughed lightly: "I'll just say it casually." ”
Zhang Yuelu glanced at him, and then said: "The two of you are still different, you are a little rich and peaceful, and you can't wait to mix a four-grade sacrificial wine Taoist priest to retire to the mountains and forests to live a quiet life, but that person is ambitious, in his own words, to lay a big country in the world." ”
"A person who aspires to be a great master is embarrassed to say that others are ambitious?" Qi Xuansu sighed, "In addition, I also want to wear the Hui Sword, but I don't have that ability." ”
"Shut up." Zhang Yuelu finally couldn't help it, and reached out to grab Qi Xuansu's ear, "I am determined to be a great master to change the Dao Sect, and it has nothing to do with ambition. If you can change the Dao Sect, I can also assist you to become the Great Master. That man is different, he is for his own selfish desires, and he will do whatever it takes. Invite people to buy people's hearts, corrupt the atmosphere of the Daomen, use power for personal gain, dig the foundation of the Daomen, and do everything. ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Yuelu suddenly remembered something, let go of his hand, and looked Qi Xuansu up and down.
Qi Xuansu was a little hairy by her: "Why do you look at me with such eyes?" ”
Zhang Yuelu looked at him and said with a straight face: "I suddenly remembered that you are quite good at using some 'human nature' methods, and you have climbed all the way to Tiangang Hall, should you be such a person." ”
"Wronged!" Qi Xuansu immediately said urgently, "What about others, why did it get involved with me." If you want to say 'human nature', it is also those Taoist priests who took the initiative to hint at it, so I won't take the initiative to give money to people, is Sun Yongfeng also an ambitious person? Besides, my credit is from the water into the fire and out of the fire, and there is no falsehood. ”
Zhang Yuelu suddenly smiled: "Look at your appearance, it seems like you have been stepped on by the tail." ”
Qi Xuansu was afraid of setting himself on fire, so he didn't dare to interject indiscriminately.
Zhang Yuelu saw that he seemed to be frightened by himself, so he continued: "This kind of man always fascinates many women who are not deeply involved in the world, and my cousin has become his entry step in a daze. After that person became famous, many more women took the initiative to come up, hoping to go further through such an upstart of the Daomen. He did not refuse anyone who came, and whatever was fragrant or smelly, he kept it in his room. ”
When he said this, Zhang Yuelu stole his eyes and paid attention to Qi Xuansu's expression.
Qi Xuansu didn't have any envious expression, but said: "In the eyes of others, am I just like these women, hoping to go further through you, an upstart in the Dao Sect?" ”
Zhang Yuelu was a little helpless, normal men are either envious or spurned, why is Qi Xuansu's thinking always different from ordinary people, who taught him like this?
Zhang Yuelu finally said: "This kind of thing, paper can't hold the fire, my cousin still knows." If this were the case for me, I would have cut off the man's head with my own hands. But my cousin still had a fluke, and let the man make a choice, whether to choose her or another woman, and wanted to forgive him. But the man brazenly said something to make my cousin bigger, and my cousin gave up, not only cut off contact with him in a fit of anger, but also left Yujing. ”
Qi Xuansu didn't comment, just touched his neck with his hand.
