Chapter 208: Going to the Imperial Capital (Part II)
The use of soldiers should be like arms and hands, such as fingers, Tiangang Hall is the center of soldiers, and the soldiers of Daomen are spiritual officers, so Tiangang Hall is the hall with the most spiritual officers. Since the spiritual officer is a soldier, then the Taoist priest is an official, and the cardinal who uses the official is Ziweitang, so Ziweitang, who holds the power of personnel, is the head of the nine halls.
Each hall is located in the Xuandu, the only exception is the main hall of Ziwei Hall, which is located in the Purple Mansion and does not directly communicate with the other eight halls, and is the closest to Jinque.
Because the Purple Mansion not only has the Golden Que, which symbolizes the highest authority of the Daomen, but also the Zixiao Palace, where the Great Palm Sect resides, Ziwei Hall cannot be dominated, so only from the appearance, Ziwei Hall can not be said to be simple, but it can be placed in the fairy Yujing, which looks very ordinary, far from being comparable with other eight halls, compared with many local Daofu and Dao Palaces, and cannot be compared, just like an ordinary Dao Palace. But it was such a seemingly ordinary place that decided the fate of hundreds of thousands of Taoist priests.
Qi Xuansu wants to go to the main lobby of Ziwei Hall, and he has to go to Zifu first.
This is also the first time he has gone to the Purple Mansion, it is said that the Purple Mansion is more complicated than the Xuandu, and it is easy to get lost, so Zhang Yuelu specially guided the way for him.
It stands to reason that Qi Xuansu should follow his boss Lei Xiaohuan to see Donghua Zhenren, but Lei Xiaohuan had left Yujing not long ago and happened to pass by Qi Xuansu, so Qi Xuansu could only go to see Donghua Zhenren by himself.
As for last night, Qi Xuansu failed to spend the night at Zhang Yuelu's house, and returned to Haichanfang's house alone to spend the night. In fact, Qi Xuansu also thought about it, he didn't want to have anything to do with Zhang Yuelu, he just stayed overnight, Zhang Yuelu's house was not big, but although the sparrows were small, they also had guest rooms. It's just that when the matter came to an end, Qi Xuansu had no reason to think of the words "innocent" that Cihang Zhenren said during the day, and thought that Cihang Zhenren lived next door, so he still took the initiative to leave with interest.
Qi Xuansu probably understood a truth, if Qi Niang lived next door, Qi Niang must have locked the door of her own bedroom early on, and it was silent all night, as if she didn't exist. If there was a Cihang real person living next door, the real person Cihang would definitely come in and out several times a night, and the sound was loud enough for Qi Xuansu to hear. This is about the subtle mentality of the mother-in-law and mother-in-law.
The one responsible for guarding the Purple Mansion is a team of three-rank spirit officials, and in other places, they are all at the level of the commander, but in the Purple Mansion they are only responsible for guarding the door.
Zhang Yuelu and Qi Xuansu were only allowed to go after showing the urn, the warp and the waist card.
Zhang Yuelu talked about the first time she went to Chiming Palace to get lost, and she felt that the Taoist priest who showed her the way seemed to admire her a little.
When talking about these, Zhang Yuelu's tone was extremely calm, neither showing off, nor disgust, let alone ridicule, Zhang Yuelu did not regard this matter as a pleasure, but suddenly remembered this matter and shared her story with Qi Xuansu, and at the same time had a little ulterior motives.
Qi Xuansu didn't care, it was strange that Zhang Yuelu didn't have a few admirers, he just had to defeat all his opponents, including that Li Tianzhen, of course.
Then Zhang Yuelu asked: "What about you, do you have any women who admire you?" ”
Qi Xuansu was silent for a moment, he didn't expect Zhang Yuelu to wait for him here.
Then Qi Xuansu said seriously: "Naturally, is it Yue Liu?" admired me to the point that he wished I died, and those who didn't know thought that I had abandoned her from the beginning to the end, which is probably called hating because of love. ”
Zhang Yuelu couldn't help laughing.
In the solemn and silent Purple Mansion, the laughter was a little abrupt, but it also made the Purple Mansion, which had been serious for many years, no longer a backwater, adding a bit of cheerful atmosphere.
It is said that when Mrs. Xuansheng was still alive, the Purple Mansion was not so silent, and the atmosphere was more lively. It's just that since Mrs. Xuansheng, there has never been such a big palm sect lady who can laugh in the Purple Mansion.
Lin Yongbai was an inconspicuous seven-rank Taoist priest who was assigned to the Daozang Division in the ancestral court after leaving the Vientiane Dao Palace, and was responsible for maintaining 100,000 Daozang along with others.
In the blink of an eye, he had been in the Daozang Division for nearly ten years, content with the status quo, going to the Daozang Division every hour and leaving Shenshi, day after day, year after year.
Until one day, he met a woman, which made many ripples in his always unwavering state of mind. There are not a few female crowns in Yujing, Lin Yongbai has also seen a lot, he has never seen such a woman, the woman's appearance may not be top-notch, but the gas on her body is forgettable, and it makes him even more difficult to let go.
Later, he also knew the identity of this woman, the youngest deputy hall advocate Yuelu, and now he is the youngest Sanpin Youyi Taoist, who has a lot of limelight and a bright future, and is destined to have a place in the Golden Gate.
Today, Lin Yongbai had a moment of leisure, sitting by the window on the second floor, and suddenly caught a glimpse of two people walking by, and his eyes froze.
It was the woman who had asked him for directions, but this time she didn't need to ask for directions, and there was an extra man of a similar age by her side.
At this moment, the man seemed to realize something, and raised his eyes.
Lin Yongbai was greatly flustered, hurriedly looked away, and then simply got up and left.
Although I have long known that some things are impossible, it is still unbearable when I really give up.
Qi Xuansu lowered his head and withdrew his gaze and continued to talk to Zhang Yuelu.
The woman's slightly reserved chuckle could be faintly heard.
After the two walked away, Lin Yongbai returned to the window, looking at the backs of the two of them drifting apart, and it was difficult to hide his lonely look.
Especially when he saw the conspicuous four-grade sacrificial Taoist costume on the man's body, and then looked at his seven-grade Taoist costume, he was speechless.
Ziwei Hall is not far from Chiming Palace, Zhang Yuelu is familiar with the road this time, and she did not take the wrong road again, and when she came to the door of the main hall of Ziwei Hall, Zhang Yuelu stopped and motioned for Qi Xuansu to go in by herself, and she was waiting for him here.
Qi Xuansu once again showed the Taoist priest guarding the door, and Qi Xuansu walked into Ziwei Hall on foot, walking slowly along a path. Along the way, there are Taoist priests in magic robes, which is also the only place in the nine halls where Taoist priests are used to replace the spirit officials, and all of them reflect the detachment of Ziwei Hall. Qi Xuansu quickened his pace and came to the front of the main hall, where a plaque was hung "Heard in the sky", and there was a young Taoist priest guarding here.
Qi Xuansu took the initiative to salute and said: "This Daoist brother, Qi Xuansu, the head of the Eighth Division, please see the real person in the hall, and also ask the Daoist brother to pass it on his behalf." ”
"It turned out to be Brother Qi Dao." The young Taoist priest said, "The real person has ordered, after the Taoist brother comes, there is no need to pass it on, you can go directly to see him, please come with me." ”
After that, the young Taoist priest led the way in front and led Qi Xuansu to the duty room behind.
Compared with the duty room of Tiangang Hall, the duty room of Ziwei Hall is much smaller, and the furnishings inside are even simpler, a table, a few chairs, except for a chair placed behind the bookcase, the rest of the chairs are placed against the wall left and right.
After Qi Xuansu came in, he saw a middle hall: "The world is peaceful".
There was a person sitting behind the table, it was Pei Xuanzhi, a real person from Donghua who Qi Xuansu had a relationship with through the son-mother charm during the deliberations of the seven-person group in Jinling Mansion.
After the young Taoist priest led Qi Xuansu in, he quietly retreated.
Donghua Zhenren didn't get up to greet him, didn't even raise his head, and was still writing and criticizing.
Qi Xuansu didn't speak, just stood and waited.
After a while, Donghua Zhenren put down his pen and looked up at Qi Xuansu: "Tianyuan, your performance in the Vientiane Dao Palace is very good, I am very satisfied." ”
Qi Xuansu said: "Real people have won awards. Brother Qi Dao's affairs ......"
"Time is also fate, against the secret society, how can there be immortals." Donghua Zhenren couldn't see the slightest sadness, nor did he blame or hate iron and steel, only calm, "I asked you to come over this time, not because of this matter, it's another thing, you should know, right?" ”
"Yes, I already know." Qi Xuansu replied respectfully.
Donghua Zhenren asked, "Then what do you think?" Don't be inhibited, speak your mind. ”
Qi Xuansu was silent.
In this short silence, the sound of turning the paper was remembered in the room, and it turned out that Donghua Zhenren took advantage of this gap to take out another copy from the pile of official letters, put it in front of him, and read it carefully.
Qi Xuansu said: "Back to the real person, I think the situation in Dijing is very complicated, and it involves the situation in Yujing. ”
"Why is the situation in Yujing involved?"
"Because Zhengyi is allied with the Quanzhen Dao, and the Taiping Dao has brought the imperial court as an Austrian aid."
"Anything else?"
"The real person sent me to the imperial capital, there should be other intentions, but I haven't figured it out yet."
"Anything else?"
"Back to the real person, not for the time being."
This time, it was Donghua Zhenren who was silent, Qi Xuansu looked at it, Donghua Zhenren picked up the pen again, quickly commented on the official letter, and then put the pen on the pen holder and said: "Very good, you can think of this, this is your talent." As for the specific explanation, there is no one yet, but it will be soon, you are ready, go to the imperial capital with Shi Bingyun Shi Zhenren, and follow her arrangement. ”
