Chapter Ninety-Eight: Step Moon

Out of the "ghost pass", into the territory of Zhongzhou, not far from the summer palace built by the Empress Mingkong, now the Zhongzhou Provincial Government is located.

The Ghost Country Cave and the "Ghost Pass" are actually located between the Qinzhou Provincial Government and the Zhongzhou Provincial Government, and if the distance is widened, it is located between the Chongyang Palace of Wanshou in the Lung Mountain and the Vientiane Taoist Palace of Longmen Mansion.

Otherwise, it is located in the core sphere of influence of the Daomen, which makes Feng Bo feel desperate and directly chooses to make a move in Xijing Mansion, after all, he only needs to face the Qinzhou Daofu and Wuxu Palace in Xijing Mansion, and when he arrives in Beibi Mountain, he doesn't know how many Daomen forces he has to face.

For Qi Xuansu, Zhongzhou is regarded as his second hometown, because the Vientiane Dao Palace is located in Zhongzhou, and he spent his childhood and youth here. As for the first hometown, then God knows. Maybe Vientiane Dao Palace also knows, but after so many years, I don't know if the archives still exist. Even if there is a retention, it is not something that can be accessed by anyone.

In fact, Qi Xuansu has no obsession with his life experience, which is due to the acquired environment.

If Qi Xuansu was not adopted by the Vientiane Dao Palace, but lived on the streets, then everyone around him had parents, but he had no parents, he would be an outlier. I can't help but ask myself, who gave birth to me?

But there are all such children in the Vientiane Dao Palace, they are all the same kind, there is no difference, so no one will ask this question, it seems that they were born in the Vientiane Dao Palace, the teaching is a strict father, the female crown who takes care of their life and living is a loving mother, the Dao Gate is the sky, the Vientiane Dao Palace is the earth, everything is taken for granted.

After entering the Daomen, the Daomen pays attention to the inheritance of master and apprentice, and the master and apprentice are like father and son, and one of the three realms, the Quanzhen Dao, is mostly monks. It means that nearly one-third of the Daomen disciples are alone, and there are no extra fetters except for the master-apprentice relationship.

If Qi Xuansu hadn't followed Master Qi Haoran to join Zhengyi, most likely he would have been classified into the All-True Path.

Many people's obsessions are actually rooted in the time when there are few things to do, in this case, how can Qi Xuansu have an obsession with his life experience? The real obsession is to return to the Daomen, not only because of Zhang Yuelu, but also because of the sense of belonging and identity brought by the Daomen, which is his family.

In the past, Qi Xuansu was free from the Daomen system, but the identity of the seven-grade Taoist priest was real, no matter where he went, he could take out the basket openly, just like a wanderer who traveled far away from home, and he could go back at any time when he wanted to go back. Now, Qi Xuansu has become a black household, and the identity of Daomen cannot be used, just like an orphan who has been swept away. These are two very different situations and feelings.

This situation is very terrible for the imperial court. So many Daomen disciples, born in Daomen, grew up in Daomen, and even died in Daomen, Daomen is their root, but also their home, but also their life, the world in their eyes is actually Daomen, not only do not know their parents, but also do not know the court, do not know the monarch's father.

Although the Daomen and the imperial court cooperate seamlessly and become one, it is inevitable that there will be gaps. Then the imperial court took the opportunity to intervene in the Daomen

The battle for the Great Palm Sect is almost inevitable. The imperial court and the Daomen are like a husband and wife, either the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind, and they always have to decide the head of the family.

Qi Xuansu didn't think about it so much at this time, he just wanted to go to Longmen Mansion as soon as possible, and then take a look at the Vientiane Dao Palace, which carried the memories of his childhood and youth.

Qi Xuansu came to the palace gate of the summer palace in a very low-key manner, only to see the Taoist priests coming in and out, very busy.

On both sides of the main gate are Ming officials lined up in eight figures, wearing armor and sharp, and the momentum is compelling.

Strictly speaking, the predecessor of the Vientiane Dao Palace is the Vientiane Shrine, which is a building of the same period as the Summer Palace, and was built in the period of the Empress of the Ming Dynasty, so the architectural style is very similar, and it is quite a legacy of prosperity.

Qi Xuansu turned over and dismounted, stopped for a moment, and couldn't help but think of the Vientiane Dao Palace after many years of absence.

Vientiane Dao Palace occupies a huge area, encompassing the entire Ziwei City. Longmen Mansion used to be the eastern capital of the two capitals of the east and west of the Great Qi, alongside the Xijing Mansion, and Ziwei City was the palace city of the eastern capital. Among them, the main hall of the great dynasty is called "Ming Hall", that is, "the hall of Ming politics and religion", that is, the upper palace where countless Taoist priests of the four grades of wine have been there.

Most of Ziwei City, which is outside the scope of the upper palace, is where the lower palace is located, plus the teaching and female crowns, among which there are tens of thousands of people. However, there are only more than 1,000 people who can successfully graduate through two assessments every year, and the rest have become ordinary Taoists. And among the more than 1,000 people, there may not even be even a hundred people who can go from the nine-grade Taoist priest to the fourth-grade wine priest. Those who can really go to the second grade Taiyi Taoist are less than a handful of them.

Yue Liuli and Wan Xiuwu were the leaders of Qi Xuansu's session, and now they are only five-grade Taoists. Qi Xuansu is just a six-grade Taoist priest with the help of Qi Niang and Zhang Yuelu. As a result, Wan Xiuwu also died in the hands of Qi Xuansu halfway, and Qi Xuansu himself also died halfway in the records of the Daomen, dying at the hands of the Lingshan Witch Sect.

Looking back on the past, I really have all kinds of feelings in my heart.

Not far away is a lookout platform, where many men and women who climb the mountain gather to point and point to the sound of laughter from time to time.

Qi Xuansu led the horse to go with the flow of people, it turned out that you can overlook Longmen Mansion here, at this time the sun is setting, the lights of ten thousand homes, like the stars in the sky, Dengfu looks far away, the victory of Yiluo Erchuan, all in sight.

Thanks to the Daomen, we can have such a beautiful view. Two hundred years ago, it was full of yin and gloomy, let alone evening, even at noon at three o'clock when the yang energy was at its heaviest.

Qi Xuansu stood alone in a no-man's corner, gently stroking the mane of the inferior horse, full of emotion.

The bad horse shook his head and snorted.

Following Qi Xuansu through the ghost country, the bad horse seems to be a little different. At least he is not so weak, and now he runs three hundred miles in one breath, without panting or trembling hooves, and there is a faint yin qi on his body, and his fur is dark and black.

The key is that Qi Xuansu feels that this guy is actually human and understands human language.

Qi Xuansu suddenly said, "Why don't I give you a name?" ”

The bad horse seemed to understand, and stamped the horse's hooves.

"What's it called?" Qi Xuansu fell into deep thought, "I will never do such a thing as using the color of my coat to name me, it is too easy to duplicate the name." ”

The bad horse nodded incessantly, revealing a mouthful of neat teeth.

"How is Wei Wugui?" Qi Xuansu said, "The same name as me." ”

The bad horse shook his head, obviously not very approving.

Qi Xuansu said to himself: "Xuan is black, Su is white, your black hair is in response to the word 'Xuan', but Daomen is also called Xuanmen, and the country name is even more Xuan, and it is just a matter of using the word 'Xuan' in the name of the person, so you can also use the word 'Xuan', it is inevitable that you will not take my Daomen and the court in your eyes, which is inappropriate and inappropriate." ”

The bad horse subconsciously slowly ploughed the ground with his front hooves, and there was a faint uneasiness in his heart.

It is said that people are old and treacherous and slippery, and it is also an old horse, and with some experience, I always feel that Qi Xuansu is holding back some bad water.

"Got it, how about turnips?" Qi Xuansu finally came up with a very powerful and domineering name.

The inferior horse stomped his horse's hooves three times, expressing his displeasure and protest.

Qi Xuansu said again: "What about grapes? ”

The bad horse shook his head and flew away.

It doesn't want to use this kind of ghost name.

Qi Xuansu still didn't give up: "By the way, I also have a friend from the Western Continent, named Arthur, I learned some Western Continent languages from him, why don't you give you a Western name, such as Torret, how about it?" ”

The bad horse rolled his eyes fiercely, which means that Qi Xuansu was not on its back, otherwise it was assigned to Qi Xuansu to stand up personally, so that he would know what it meant to be "Liqinsu".

It was the first time Qi Xuansu knew that Ma's face could show such a humane expression.

"Okay, okay, Daxuan's horse doesn't need a Western name." Qi Xuansu had no choice but to appease the bad horse, and then pondered over the question of choosing a name.

He suddenly remembered his brand name, because he owed a lot of foreign debts, so the name of the word brand is "Jin Wrong Knife", that is, the meaning of money, he can use a word brand name, save time and effort, not to say, the key is elegant.

Qi Xuansu said: "People use three-word brand names, and if you are a brute, use two-word brand names." Let me think about it, Bagui, Ding'er, Santai, Tianxiang, Liuchou, Jiuri, Out of the Stopper, Stepping on the Moon, Walking the Moon, and Banning Smoking, these are all words and brand names that ancient literati and celebrities came up with, not made up by me, what do you think? ”

The bad horse did not object this time, and nodded again and again.

Qi Xuansu smiled: "You still know the good and the bad, you really have become a fine." Okay, I'll help you choose one. You accompanied me on a yin road, walking is walking, the moon is too yin, just use the name 'step moon'. ”

The bad horse snorted.

It's like saying, that's pretty much it.
