Pei Xiaolou didn't stay for a long time, he still had to return to the Wuxu Palace, if there was no accident, the second deputy mansion master who was directly in charge of "Xiao Tiangang" had already learned about it, and he would come to see Pei Xiaolou soon.

Of course, this deputy mansion master didn't come to fight with Pei Xiaolou, and he didn't even speak for Cen Li, but more to understand the situation, touch Pei Xiaolou's attitude, and see if Pei Xiaolou used the topic to play against himself, or just for Cen Li personally.

The difference is naturally quite large, and Pei Xiaolou came to Xijing Mansion this time with an errand. Although the earth master was still in Yujing and did not return, Pei Xiaolou was ordered by the earth master to inspect the provincial mansions and Taoist palaces in Quanzhen Dao on his behalf to picket illegal things.

This time it was just a routine, and the earth master did not have any intention of vigorously rectifying the internal affairs of the Quanzhen Dao at the critical moment of competing for the Great Palm Sect, Pei Xiaolou understood in his heart, so naturally it would not be too troublesome.

But it can't be too perfunctory, if you patrol for a week, there are no problems at all, and it really can't be said. It happened that "Xiao Tiangang" hit Pei Xiaolou's mouth, so it was no wonder that Pei Xiaolou was going to make a big fuss about it.

As for the second deputy palace master, he could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. This kind of thing, it is generally said hello in advance, and when the real person comes down from the inspection, all the real people will restrain their subordinates. If something still happens, then you can't blame others, you can only blame yourself for not being strict with your subordinates, and you can only blame yourself for not being long-sighted.

There is an old saying that if you don't get greedy, don't be lazy, and don't have long eyes.

This time, "Xiao Tiangang" is not long-sighted. The second deputy mansion master is afraid that he will hate Cen Li to death, although the earth master does not plan to vigorously rectify the internal affairs of the Quanzhen Dao, which means that his position as a real person is still stable, but a charge of "negligence" cannot be escaped.

At the level of the second-grade Taiyi Taoist, the meritorious system of the Daomen is no longer of much significance, because the number of people who can refer to the real person is limited, the people above do not come down, and the people below cannot go up no matter how great the merit is.

However, it is difficult to raise and lower the rank, but there are still positions, there is a gap between the second deputy lord and the chief deputy lord, and there are also a small number of ordinary real people who can hold the position of head of the palace and the palace, and bear the charge of "negligence", which still affects the promotion of the position.

For Qi Xuansu, as long as Pei Xiaolou continues to target "Xiao Tiangang", then the people of "Xiao Tiangang" are too busy to take care of themselves, and they have neither the energy to take revenge on themselves, nor dare to make a move against Pei Xiaolou's mouth, and it is more likely that Cen Liren will go to tea and cool, and no one will stand up for his affairs, then he will be safe.

As for the future, who can say what will happen in the future?

Soon after Pei Xiaolou left, the innkeeper came over.

When Qi Xuansu lived in the hotel, he had never seen this proprietress, and there was only one steward on the counter. Because the scale of this Taiping Inn is too large, the proprietress did not come forward in person, and this time it was because of Pei Xiaolou's relationship that she came to see Qi Xuansu.

The proprietress saluted Qi Xuansu: "Concubine Liu Yuchun, depressed Yu, spring breeze."

, I've seen Childe. ”

Qi Xuansu got up and returned the salute with one hand: "I don't dare to call my son, and I am injured, I can't do the full salute, I hope you will forgive me." ”

Liu Yuchun looked at Qi Xuansu slightly, and said, "Haven't asked the son's name yet?" ”

Qi Xuansu said: "The surname is Wei, and there is no ghost in the name." ”

"There are ghosts in the surname, but there are no ghosts." Liu Yuchun laughed, and then asked tentatively, "Are Wei Gongzi and Pei Zhenren old acquaintances?" ”

Qi Xuansu was not surprised, and said: "It's mainly because of the elders in the family, Pei Zhenren and ......."

Qi Xuansu hesitated for a moment and said, "Pei Zhenren and his mother are old acquaintances. ”

"I see." Liu Yuchun said suddenly, "Then you are his junior, I thought it was a New Year's friend." ”

Qi Xuansu didn't speak.

With his current state of cultivation, it is too unrealistic to have any friendship with a real person, but if it is because of the elders in the family, it is very reasonable. And in fact, it is true, Pei Xiaolou does not look at Qi Xuansu highly, it is actually Zhang Yuelu who really makes Pei Xiaolou look at him differently, the key is Qi Niang, it can't be regarded as lying.

As for recognizing Qi Niang as a mother, there is no way to do it. If it is another relationship, it is inevitable to spend more words to explain the relationship between the two people, and say more wrong. But if it is a mother-child relationship, no one will ask again, and it is a natural thing for a mother to love her children.

Liu Yuchun began to think about whether there was a family surnamed Wei within Quanzhen Dao.

Not to mention, there is really one, which can be traced back to the era of Xuansheng Zhongxing Daomen, but she remembers that the Wei family is thin, and there doesn't seem to be any decent men in this generation? However, the women of the Wei family are very powerful, and there is a woman from the Wei family who also married into the royal family, and now she has become a concubine.

In this regard, Daomen and the imperial court are still very different, and Daomen has always upheld neutrality in the affairs of husband and wife, both in the past and now. This neutrality comes from Buddhism and the world, the world is monogamous and polygamous, Buddhism is forbidden to marry except for some of the side branches of Buddhism that like double cultivation, and the Taoist door is in between, except for the monks of the Quanzhen Dao, you can form a Taoist couple, but there is no concubine, that is, monogamy.

It is also said that one of Xuan Sheng's teachers, the earth master who once attacked the Dazhen Mansion, has two wives. One is that this earth master is known for his unscrupulous behavior, even attacking the Dazhen Mansion, planning the change in the imperial capital, killing the Great Witch and the Xuansheng, these have all been done, not to mention some rules. The second is that this earth master was born in the royal family before joining the Daomen, and he was the respect of the prince, and his actions were mainly based on secular rules. So this is just an example, and it doesn't represent the Daomen.

Because of this, Daomen women are generally reluctant to marry people from the court, who wants to serve someone else? Not every woman is willing to intrigue, unless the Taoist woman's family or teacher is powerful and can force the man not to take a concubine.

In addition, the different concepts caused by the different environments of the two also caused the people of the Taoist sect to be more conservative than the imperial court, which can be regarded as overkill.

When the ancient Taiping Road rebelled thousands of years ago,

The room in the door of the Daomen is extremely chaotic, between male and female believers, there are no taboos, even when the husband is in front of his wife, the wife is in front of the husband, and the double cultivation with other believers, and there is no difference from today's secret association, which can be regarded as the dark history of the Daomen, which has been criticized.

As a result, the Daomen of later generations began to imitate the abstinence of the Daomen, and the Quanzhen Dao of becoming a monk without marrying came into being.

After the failure of the ancient Taiping Dao, it has been destroyed, and now the Taiping Dao is a new Taiping Dao that integrates the hundreds of schools of thought, although it still bears the name of the Taiping Dao, it is no longer the same thing as back then. Just as after the collapse of the Heavenly Master Sect, although the re-established Zhengyi is still in power in the Zhang family's Heavenly Master lineage, it has also undergone considerable changes.

It is said that after the Heavenly Master Sect defeated the Ancient Witch Sect, it was divided into thirty-six levels, which was even more strict than the nine grades and twelve levels of the Dao Sect today. Moreover, the unity of politics and religion, those who come to learn the Tao are called "ghost pawns" at first, and they are believed in by the Tao, they are called "sacrificial wine", and the people of each collar are concerned; Those who lead a large number are "the head of the great sacrifice wine". There are no chiefs, and local government affairs are managed with sacrificial wine. Teach the public to be honest and not deceitful, and make the patient surrender himself; The offender is lenient three times, and if he repeats the offense, then the punishment is increased; If it is a minor offense, then build a hundred steps of the road to atone for your sins. In accordance with the "Lunar Decree", slaughter is forbidden in spring and summer when all things grow, and it is forbidden to drink alcohol. He also founded a righteous house, put righteous rice and meat inside, and provided free food for passers-by, and declared that if he obtained too much, he would offend the ghosts and gods and become ill.

However, today, these rules have been abandoned, such as "ghost pawn" and other titles, are not heard of, only the "sacrificial wine" has been handed down, and gradually evolved into today's four-grade sacrificial wine Taoist.

However, there is an exception, that is, marrying into the royal family, at this point, although the Li family holds the position of half of the queens, there are still many other Taoist disciples who marry into the royal family, or become the other half of the queens, or become concubines to compete with the queen of the Li family. The royal family is also happy to do this, firstly, to strengthen the connection with the Daomen, after all, the royal family was also a member of the Daomen in the past, and there were deputy sect masters and sect masters. The second is to restrain the Li family, so that the Li family does not dominate and monopolize the Daxuan court.

Qi Xuansu observed the words, and added softly: "I lost my father when I was a teenager and followed my mother's surname. ”

Liu Yuchun nodded.

That's right.

What Qi Xuansu said is not all lies, master and apprentice are like father and son, and it is true that the master has died, this is the loss of a young father. The name "Wei Wugui" was taken by Qi Niang, and there is no problem with following her mother's surname.

Or thanks to Qi Niang's teaching, people in the rivers and lakes, it is inevitable to pull some lies, but don't make up lies out of thin air, it is difficult to justify yourself, there are too many flaws and loopholes, it is easy to be recognized, it is best to be nine true and one false, there is a basis, at least it is logical, can justify itself, and it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

Liu Yuchun felt that after he figured out the general origin of Qi Xuansu, he got up and said goodbye: "If Gongzi Wei has any needs, just give orders, and the concubine will leave first." ”

Qi Xuansu also took the initiative to send him off, looking at the graceful back of the proprietress disappearing outside the courtyard gate, thoughtfully.
