Chapter 113: The Upper Palace (I)
For Qi Xuansu, the Vientiane Dao Palace is very familiar.
It's just that strictly speaking, this "familiarity" is only for the lower palace, and for the familiarity of the upper palace, he is not even as good as Zhang Yuelu, who has only been in it for three months.
There is no way, the difference between the upper palace and the lower palace is like the difference between a high-grade Taoist and a low-grade Taoist, it is completely two worlds.
Whenever he thinks of this, Qi Xuansu can't help but imitate the literati and lamenting the two sentences "The joys and sorrows of the two worlds are not connected", which is somewhat of a disease-free moan, because Qi Xuansu later understood a truth, not only that the joys and sorrows of the two worlds are not connected, but the joys and sorrows of people are not connected, when he was almost killed by Wan Xiuwu and Yue Liuli, he felt sad and angry, but maybe in the eyes of others, it was a joke. When he goes to cry out for injustice, others will not sympathize, but will only feel noisy.
Several Taoist palaces and state palaces of Quanzhen Dao are very interesting, from the Wanshou Chongyang Palace in Dilung Mountain to the Wuxu Palace in Xijing Mansion, and then to the Summer Palace in Beibi Mountain, and finally to the Vientiane Dao Palace in Longmen Mansion, the distance is not too far, and even from the big map, it is a bit crowded in one place. If you travel by land, it may take a few days, but if you fly in the air, you won't even need half a day.
Around noon, Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu rushed to the Vientiane Dao Palace.
Vientiane Dao Palace is like a city within a city, towering and towering, with continuous buildings. Although Qi Xuansu grew up in the Vientiane Dao Palace since he was a child, he has not walked through the main gate once, whether they ran out secretly in the past, or when they went out with the teachers, they all walked through the side door. The main entrance is tall and magnificent, and the foundation alone is much higher than the many side doors, and it is connected to the ground by ninety-nine steps, which can accommodate twenty people in parallel without being crowded, and the difference between the top and bottom is suddenly apparent.
Only those who go to the upper palace for further training can enter the Vientiane Dao Palace through this main gate.
Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu came to the main gate of the Vientiane Dao Palace, because they were in the city, there was no mountain gate, and there was a team of spiritual officials on duty under the steps, and the wings of the geese were lined up.
The leader was a four-grade spirit official, and when he saw a pair of young men and women coming side by side, he was still a candidate for sacrificial wine or a preparatory sacrificial wine, but he soon saw Zhang Yuelu's waist card hanging on his waist and the "Chuzhen Sutra", and he couldn't help but be stunned.
It is not uncommon for a four-grade wine Taoist priest to be so young, and after seeing the waist card clearly, he has already guessed the identity of the woman, and hurriedly took the initiative to step forward and salute: "I have seen Deputy Hall Master Zhang." ”
Zhang Yuelu was a little surprised: "Do you recognize me?" ”
Lingguan is also a sincere person: "So young, and the deputy hall master of Tiangang Hall, there is only Deputy Hall Master Zhang." Moreover, Jin Que has already reported to the palace that he has promoted Deputy Hall Master Zhang to the three-grade Youyi Taoist, who is the youngest Sanpin Youyi Taoist in the past ninety years, and is also the youngest person among the existing Sanpin Youyi Taoist priests in the Daomen. ”
Ordinary people are promoted to the three-grade Youyi Taoist priest, and they generally do not report to the palace, but Zhang Yuelu's situation is special, and the word "youngest" has both a gimmick and a special meaning, so it is worth writing a special book in the newspaper, and even a small biography of Zhang Yuelu's characters will be published, such as participating in the cracking of the Jiangnan case, the Zixian Mountain case, and the Jinling Mansion catastrophe.
Qi Xuansu suddenly remembered Qin Xiang's sentence "The legendary Zhang Yuelu", and couldn't help but want to laugh, in fact, he was not, before he stepped on the flying boat to Yujing, Zhang Yuelu was also a legendary character to him, and like Donghua Zhenren, he was floating in the sky.
Where does the legend come from? Naturally, it came from these Daomen mansions. The news was even faster than Pei Xiaolou, which also indirectly showed that Zhang Yuelu's promotion to the third-grade Youyi Taoist had been decided before Pei Xiaolou finished Jinque's questioning, and someone released the news to Qingping Bookstore in advance.
However, this spirit official obviously did not recognize Qi Xuansu, and it also showed that the newspaper only wrote about Zhang Yuelu's promotion to the third-grade Youyi Taoist, and did not mention Qi Xuansu's promotion to the fourth-grade sacrificial wine Taoist. After all, Qi Xuansu is older than Zhang Yuelu, and he is one grade lower than Zhang Yuelu, and he only treats them as green leaves when they are put together, there is really nothing to say, and Qi Xuansu's foundation is not clean, so it is better to deal with it in a low-key manner.
The spirit officer asked: "The Taoist priest who has ascended to the fourth grade of wine wants to go to the Vientiane Dao Palace to study, but there is no statement that the Taoist priest who has been promoted to the third grade of Youyi will come to the Vientiane Dao Palace to study again, is Deputy Hall Master Zhang going to revisit the old place?" ”
Zhang Yuelu said: "I came here with a friend, and it's not yet the start of school on June 15, so I should be able to go in, right?" ”
"Yes, yes." The spirit officer's gaze then turned to Qi Xuansu.
Qi Xuansu saluted and said: "Under Qi Xuansu, the newly promoted four-grade wine Taoist priest has come to study." ”
"Good fellows." The spirit officer couldn't help but say, "It turned out to be Master Qi, and the future is immeasurable, congratulations, congratulations." ”
In fact, it is a very simple thing to identify the age of a man in Daomen, just look at whether he has a beard or not, this is an unwritten hard and fast rule, young people before the age of thirty take no need as beauty, and grow a short beard after the year of establishment, and can grow a long beard after the age of fifty, Qi Xuansu looks like a young man who is not yet thirty years old.
The four-grade sacrificial wine Taoist priest who is less than thirty years old, even if he is not as good as Zhang Yuelu, is better than nine out of nine of his peers, if nothing else, the position of a real person has been stabilized, so that the spirit official can't help but sigh, it is really a group of people.
At this moment, three more people walked from the side of Hoshino Lake towards the main gate. The first man's surname is Lu, his name is Lu Shuihan, and he is a descendant of the Lu family in Taiping Dao. His two companions are the best of the younger generation, the woman is called Bai Yuru, and the man is called Zhao Huang.
Lu Shuihan is now a five-grade alternate sacrificial wine, Bai Yuru and Zhao Huang are six-grade preparatory sacrificial wine, and the three of them had a little "misunderstanding" with Zhang Yuelu in the past.
This misunderstanding is also related to Qi Xuansu, when Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu met for the second time, they ate a bowl of beef noodles together in Taiqing City, and the group commented on the two after seeing it, saying that Zhang Yuelu was raising a little white-faced Yunyun, but Zhang Yuelu found out and gave them a little lesson.
Later, after Zhang Yuelu and Qi Xuansu became acquainted, they also talked about it. It's just that Qi Xuansu's cultivation at the time of the incident was too low, and he didn't find any trace of this group of people, and later he only knew that there was such a group of people, but he didn't know what this group of people looked like.
After Qi Xuansu heard about this, he also joked about Zhang Yuelu, and people were not wrong, either like Deputy Hall Master Zhang's little lover, or Deputy Hall Master Zhang's little lover, but Qi Xuansu was also given a little lesson by Zhang Yuelu.
When the three of them saw Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu, they couldn't help but be stunned, and some couldn't move or retreat.
Zhang Yuelu noticed it and looked towards the three of them, making them stunned.
At the beginning, Zhang Yuelu had not yet become a celestial, but only a four-grade wine Taoist priest, and they were not opponents. Now that Zhang Yuelu is rising again, and he has successfully become a celestial, he is not an opponent, and in terms of rank and position, they have to take the initiative to salute, even if Zhang Yuelu is a few years younger than them.
The three of them came to the two of them and saluted in unison: "I've seen Deputy Hall Master Zhang." ”
"No need to be polite." Zhang Yuelu returned the half-salute.
Qi Xuansu looked at Zhang Yuelu, revealing some doubts.
Zhang Yuelu said succinctly: "Taiqing City, eat noodles." ”
Qi Xuansu immediately remembered it and said with a smile: "It turns out that they are old friends, and the three of them are also here to study?" Then we will be classmates from now on, fortunately, fortunately. ”
The three of them also recognized Qi Xuansu, it was the little white face they had made fun of, looking at the current posture, the two of them have become? Did they really get it right? And this wild Taoist priest and earth bun also want to participate in the further study of the Vientiane Dao Palace?
Lu Shuihan was still quite calm, did not entangle, and arched his hand: "If there is nothing else, we will go in first." ”
"Please." Qi Xuansu returned the salute.
After the three of them walked away, Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu also acted as farewell officials and walked towards the main gate of the Vientiane Dao Palace.
Qi Xuansu said softly: "I thought I was going to stage a jealous drama." By the way, Li Tianzhen won't also be in Vientiane Dao Palace, right? ”
Zhang Yuelu shook his head and said: "I am notoriously lonely, not easy to get along with, and I am not the appearance of a country and a city, except for people who covet my status and status, few people will really like me." As for Li Tianzhen, he is much older than you, he is already in his first year, and he has long been a Taoist priest of the Four Grades Sacrifice. ”
Qi Xuansu nodded, knowing in his heart.
As for the lonely temperament, it is not easy to get along, he doesn't think that he is not easy to get along with, and the two lonely people are just right.
