Although the Vientiane Dao Palace forbade the contact between the child and the mother during the closure period, it was still possible to transmit some official letters through the "Signal Talisman Array".

Early in the morning of July 16, a deacon and Taoist priest of Mingtang sent a letter to Qi Xuansu.

After Qi Xuansu took the letter, he found that it was actually sent by Pei Xiaolou.

Qi Xuansu thanked the deacon and Taoist priest who sent the letter, took the letter back to the study, and after confirming the fire paint seal on the envelope, he used his fingernails instead of a knife to cut the envelope open and take out the letterhead.

The letter only said one thing, that is, about the cases of Pan Cuiqing and Yue Liuli.

Qi Xuansu originally entrusted this matter to Xu Xiaoying, which coincided with Pei Xiaolou's return from Yujing, so Pei Xiaolou and Xu Xiaoying handled the matter together.

Then Qi Xuansu came to the upper palace of the Vientiane Dao Palace to prepare for further study, and in the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed, and the case has also come to an end.

Pei Xiaolou probably told the progress of the case, because the evidence was conclusive, so there was not much problem.

According to the reason, Ji Jiaoquan, the real person in charge of the palace of Wuxu Palace, should be an obstacle, but the real person of the palace of Wuxu Palace has always been concurrently served by Donghua Zhenren in the past, and it was not until Donghua Zhenren was promoted to Ziweitang Zhangtang Zhenren that Ji Jiaoquan took over, this real person is only a second-grade Taiyi Taoist, and is expected to become one of the thirty-six real people who are involved in the knowledge, but he has not yet hung up the word "Counselor".

Because the old Zhou Zhenren of the ancestral hall has just stepped down as the head of the ancestral hall, but he has not yet stepped down from the position of the real person who knows the real person.

It is true that the Taoist gate will not reduce the grade of the Taoist priest because of the retreat to the mountains and forests, falling into the realm and other reasons, but the reference to the real person is not a grade, more similar to a position, it and ordinary real people belong to the second grade Taiyi Taoist priests, and because the position of the thirty-six Shenzhi real people is fixed, if you want to go up one, you have to go down one, after retiring to the mountains and forests, it is impossible to let an idler still occupy a position, so the identity of the real person will be canceled, and only the grade and real name of the second-grade Taiyi Taoist will be retained. In the same way, the same is true for the deputy head of the sect, who will only retain the grade and title of a first-grade naïve Taoist priest in the end.

Zhou Lao Zhenren is now just taking a back seat and resigning from the corresponding position, but he retains the identity of a real person who knows about Jinque's political affairs and has the power to promote the Great Sect, and it will take another year or two to completely retire. At that time, Ji Jiaoquan will be able to be promoted to a real person naturally.

If he can be successfully promoted to a real person, his status is naturally as stable as a rock, just like Ning Ling Pavilion, even if there are occasional ups and downs, there is a chance to make a comeback. However, the period before a successful promotion is crucial, and if something happens during this time, it is likely to affect the promotion, so you must be stable during this time.

As a result, Pan Cuiqing came out with this incident, which was almost a bolt from the blue for Ji Jiaoquan.

Which is more important, the name of the apprentice or the real person?

For some it is a difficult question to choose, for others it is a question of making a choice without thinking.

For Ji Jiaoquan, if the apprentice is gone, he can still accept it, but if he loses the position of the real person who is close at hand, then there will be no second chance in this life, and there is no need to hesitate.

Therefore, Ji Jiaoquan did not choose to save his disciples, but decisively cut it, treating Pan Cuiqing as an outcast, or abandoning a pawn to protect the handsome.

Even Ji Jiaoquan thought of it a little deeper, there are almost two hundred second-grade Taiyi Taoist priests in Daomen, but only thirty-six people can be promoted to Shenzhi Zhenren, and there are many people who are jealous that he can be promoted to Shenzhi Zhenren, even if there is no conflict on weekdays, it is logical to set him up at this time, so Yue Liuli, Pan Cuiqing, and the Dragon and Tiger Society of Vientiane Dao Palace back then are just an introduction, this is the drunkard's intention not to drink, this is Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is intended to be Peigong.

And he would never have thought that this matter was not so complicated, it was an old-fashioned story of a kid from the Vientiane Dao Palace looking for revenge after mixing up a little human appearance, and it had nothing to do with the overall situation of knowing the real person.

But even if Ji Jiaoquan knew the truth, there was only one way for him to deal with it - to protect himself.

Even if he wants to make up for it and take revenge, it will have to wait for him to be promoted to a real person, and the most important thing now is to get through this most critical time smoothly.

Pei Xiaolou grasped Ji Jiaoquan's mentality, so he would take it over, otherwise it would be extremely troublesome if a real person in charge of the palace intervened, after all, Pei Xiaolou was not a real person from Donghua, just an assistant.

The specific results have been reported to the local division and approved by the local division.

Pan Cuiqing was removed from his position as the assistant director of Wuxu Palace for harboring, conniving and other crimes, and was demoted to the rank of Sipin Sacrificial Wine Taoist, a Sipin Sacrificial Wine Taoist who had no position, and his future was almost ruined. Yue Liuli was deprived of his status as a Taoist priest and temporarily imprisoned in the prison of Wanshou Chongyang Palace.

Since the six generations of the Great Sect, Daomen has advocated cautious punishment, especially in the treatment of their own people, in terms of capital punishment, has always advocated less killing and careful killing, even if it is the Jiangnan case that shook the Daomen, it was only a Fang Linhou who died.

Therefore, it is reasonable that Yue Liu will not die, after all, Qi Xuansu, who is the party concerned, is not dead, and he can't talk about a life worth a life.

But there is an old saying: "Death is avoidable, but living is inescapable." ”

Escaping death does not mean that you can rest easy, and waiting for the sinner is still the punishment of seclusion.

In this regard, in addition to Yujing, the three provinces have their own prisons, except for some prisons that temporarily hold prisoners, the real prisons all exist in the form of caves, such as the famous Zhengyi Demon Jing Dongtian, Quanzhen Dao Lock Demon Tower Dongtian, and Taiping Dao Longgong Dongtian.

The interior of these caves is very vast, but they are isolated from the outside world, and they do not see the light of day, and entering them is equivalent to being exiled, even if they are pseudo-immortals, it is difficult to get out of trouble.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Well Cave Heaven is the most terrifying, and most of the forbidden ones are the demons who can set off a monstrous sea of blood in the world, so there is a special formation for consumption and cultivation, the environment is harsh, and the guards are the most strict, and even the passage is one-way, once it is sent into it, unless the seal of the cave is broken, there is no hope of being released. And above the Demon Suppression Well Cave is the more famous Demon Suppression Platform and the "Punishment Pillar", this place is an execution ground, the so-called "Punishment Pillar" is two huge magic pillars that attract the heavenly thunder, replace the guillotine with the heavenly thunder, and execute all kinds of criminals with extremely high cultivation.

Yue Liuli was still detained in the Wanshou Chongyang Palace in the Earth Lung Mountain at this time, and after he was officially convicted, he would be escorted to the Lock Demon Tower Cave Heaven in Tiancang Mountain. Compared with the terrifying Demon Suppression Well Cave Heaven, the Lock Demon Tower Cave Heaven is slightly better, as the name suggests, this place was originally a place where the Daomen was specially used to imprison demons, corresponding to the Demon Suppression Well, but as the demons became fewer and fewer, the genius of the Lock Demon Tower Cave gradually transformed into prisoners, and many of the prohibitions were aimed at demons.

It has to be said that this is already a top-level punishment under the existing framework of the Daomen law.

The reason why Pei Xiaolou wrote the letter was just to inform Qi Xuansu of the result, and he did not mean to ask Qi Xuansu's opinion, which was also something that Qi Xuansu had known for a long time, after he handed over the phonograph, the outcome of this matter did not depend on his will at all.

After reading it, Qi Xuansu put down the letter in his hand and sat on the chair for a long time.

In the whole matter, Qi Xuansu is suspected of having a small amount of gas and must be repaid, he does not deny it. Qi Xuansu also had wavering, hesitating whether to just forget it, but every time he thought of the helplessness, despair, and pain before his death, these vacillations would be swept away, leaving only hatred.

He almost died.

When you die, everything is empty.

The point is that he almost died inexplicably, neither calmly nor deservedly, not even a ghost, like a funny harlequin, the kind that is ridiculed as a talking point.

Then why doesn't he hate?

Why should he be tolerant?

After all, he is not a Xuan Sheng, he can't meet with a smile and a grudge, and he can't forgive his enemies for the sake of the overall situation.

Besides, as far as Yue Liuli and Wan Xiuwu are concerned, what does it have to do with the overall situation.

"That's fine." Qi Xuansu said to himself, "There is no way for good fortune and misfortune, but people call themselves." ”

Speaking of this, Qi Xuansu paused for a moment and laughed at himself: "Why pretend to be generous, you are not a generous person." ”

He tapped his fingers lightly on the tabletop: "There are still Monk Yanxiu and Zhao Fu'an left." ”
