Chapter 9 A two-pronged approach
Early in the morning, Qi Xuansu went from his residence to the signing room, and met many Taoist priests of different grades along the way, all of whom nodded to him with kind smiles on their faces.
While Qi Xuansu responded, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, after his status was high, there were "good people" everywhere, they were all so kind, they were all so easy to talk, and those flies and dogs and trivial things seemed to have never existed at all.
Those female crowns are no longer reserved, and their eyes can ripple out of the water when they look at him.
It seems that the fairies who are high above have gradually stepped down from the clouds and turned back into mortal women full of fireworks.
This is the benefit of power, no wonder so many people are obsessed with it, no wonder some people say that power is the best aphrodisiac for men.
It is true that there are immortal people in this world, but how many people can really live forever? How many people can soar to the death? Except for a very small number of proud sons of the sky, the vast majority of people do not worship the Taoist gate because of the ethereal and difficult "Taoism", but more because of the simple ideas of Mei Mei's parents, and being a Taoist priest is a human being. is like a scholar in Confucianism, few people are rushing to help the people and the world, and more people still want to be officials and seek wealth.
Since you can't live forever, then life is only a hundred years, because only after the death of a person can the three corpses be free, so in order to get out of trouble and be free, the three corpses are harming the lives of people all the time, and the higher their own realm cultivation, the more powerful the three corpses will become, so even if they are the likes of heaven and man and pseudo-immortals, there is a time to die.
Therefore, even if many people have an earth-shattering realm cultivation, it is difficult for them to completely get rid of the mentality of mortals. However, this also responds to a sentence: people fight for a breath, and Buddha fights for a stick of incense. The gods and Buddhas of the heavens are not necessarily ruthless and extinguished.
Qi Xuansu came to the signing room and found that Ke Qingqing had arrived in advance, because the signing room was more important and often stored some important official documents, so it was generally not cleaned by the Taoist, but she was personally responsible.
But that's how everyone came, when Qi Xuansu was a deacon, he and Mu Yan also took turns to be responsible for the cleaning of the signing room.
Qi Xuansu said hard, and said, "If a little guy named Zhou Qingshu comes to me later, bring him directly to see me." ”
Ke Qingqing nodded in response.
Qi Xuansu went to the inner room, pushed open the window, and there was a pond outside, but it was late autumn, and there was only a little residual lotus left. On the other side of the pond is Shi Bingyun's signing room, separated by a rockery that can be walked through. However, this top boss is often not in the signing room, at least at this time, there is still no movement in Shi Bingyun's signing room, and he is obviously not here.
After Qi Xuansu sat back on the bookcase, he took out the collector's edition of the "Xuansheng Card" sent by Li Qingnu and started playing.
I have to say, you get what you pay for, pure talisman material, not afraid of water immersion, not afraid of fire, not stained with dust, even if you are not a congenital person, there is no dirt and no leakage of the miracle, and you are not afraid of pulp directly to get started, and the material is harder, and it can even be used to make flying knives, as for the text and painting, it is needless to say, it is several times better than the ordinary "Xuansheng card", and even has a similar effect of relief.
"Well, that's a good thing. The next time you play cards, use this deck. Qi Xuansu said to himself, "If you have no money, you can sell it." ”
As soon as I saw most of the deck of cards, the "Transsonic Array" lit up.
Qi Xuansu put the card back into the Sumeru object and clicked on the "sound transmission array": "Is it Zhou Qingshu who has arrived?" Take him to the reception room. ”
Qi Xuansu got up and came to the reception room, and it didn't take long for Ke Qingqing to lead Zhou Qingshu in, Zhou Qingshu was obviously a little restrained, from the gate of the Jade Palace to Qi Xuansu's signing room, it was not far or close, but he was greatly shocked, and he only felt that the carved beams and paintings, pavilions and pavilions, and the immortal style were nothing more than that. And all the people here are fairy bones, just like the characters in the portrait.
Qi Xuansu said: "Don't be nervous, sit down and talk." ”
Zhou Qingshu sat down cautiously, and his ass was only half sided.
After a while, Ke Qingqing brought tea in, which flattered Zhou Qingshu even more.
Qi Xuansu motioned to Ke Qingqing not to leave and help make a record.
Ke Qingqing took the pen and paper and sat next to Zhou Qingshu, while Qi Xuansu sat alone.
At the moment when Ke Qingqing sat down, Zhou Qingshu only felt a faint fragrance coming to his nose, and the whole person instantly tensed, and he didn't dare to breathe, or even dare to turn his head to look at this beautiful sister.
Qi Xuansu got straight to the point and said, "Let's continue to talk about yesterday's words, when did Mei Mei disappear?" ”
Zhou Qingshu was obviously well prepared, and immediately replied: "The fifth day of the tenth month." ”
Qi Xuansu returned to Yujing on the second day of October, went to see Donghua Zhenren on the third day, followed Shi Bingyun to leave Yujing on the sixth day, arrived in Yujing on the seventh day, and officially took office on the eighth day, and today is the ninth day of the first month. In other words, Zhou Qingshu met the old Taoist priest in the sixth year of junior high school.
Qi Xuansu said again: "Describe Mei Mei's appearance, the more detailed the better." ”
After all, he is a childhood sweetheart, Zhou Qingshu has a deep memory, and all kinds of details are described in great detail.
Ke Qingqing is a monk who uses mana to transform a slightly illusory air mass, and then according to Zhou Qingshu's description, he gradually "pinched" the air mass into the shape of a human head with his mind, and then adjusted it continuously according to Zhou Qingshu's opinion. This is not the invention of the Daomen, since ancient times, the Yamen has had a similar practice, but it is generally a portrait, but the level is very poor, often far from the real person, and this lifelike head model is not the same thing at all.
This is the benefit of Fang Shi, although his combat power is not as good as that of a martial artist, but he is far superior to a martial artist in all other aspects. On the contrary, it is a martial artist, except for the strength of force, it is almost useless, and he eats more, even if he is a heavenly martial artist, he can't break the valley, and he still needs to ingest a lot of ingredients to replenish qi and blood.
Qi Xuansu told Ke Qingqing the general situation of the matter, and then instructed: "Deacon Ke, this case involves someone fraudulently using the name of the Vientiane Dao Palace to deceive, and it is related to the reputation of the Daomen, don't be careless, you will take someone to follow this child to Mei's house later, learn more about the situation, and also check by the way, if there are any other people who have been deceived." ”
Ke Qingqing's expression was solemn and solemnly responded.
If it's just a simple disappearance of the child, Daomen won't pay too much attention to it, and even blame each other with the imperial court, but it can involve someone fraudulently using the name of Vientiane Dao Palace, and Daomen has to pay attention to it, so when Qi Xuansu arranged the errand, he did not emphasize the abduction of children, but emphasized that someone fraudulently used the name of Vientiane Dao Palace, so that the people below did not dare to be contemptuous, and it was much easier to even ask other principals for help.
Qi Xuansu said to Zhou Qingshu again: "Take this Sister Ke to Meimei's house and listen to this Sister Ke's arrangement." ”
Zhou Qingshu didn't kowtow again, but got up and said to Qi Xuansu: "Thank you for the great kindness of the mage, the mage will definitely be able to become an immortal." ”
Qi Xuansu waved his hand: "I said, this is our duty, okay, let's go quickly." ”
Zhou Qingshu followed Ke Qingqing out of the signing room.
Qi Xuansu sat in the reception room for a while, and then got up and left the signing room.
All the way out of the Jade Palace, I saw two people standing not far away, it was Song San and Wu Si.
Qi Xuansu couldn't help but smile and walked towards the two: "Did you two have a good time last night?" I was about to look for you, and you took the initiative to come, and you will figure out your thoughts, no wonder they all say that they are practicing in public. ”
Song San said with a smile: "The mage has won the award." ”
Qi Xuansu said: "It just so happens that I have something to ask the two of you for help." ”
Song San hurriedly said: "If the mage has something, even if he is told, he doesn't dare to be a 'please' word." ”
Qi Xuansu said: "You two have been on the ground of the imperial capital for a long time, you should have a lot of eyes and ears under your hands, right?" ”
"Yes." Song San did not deny it.
Generally, Qingluanwei will master a group of so-called "eyes and ears", that is, informants, who are no different from ordinary people on weekdays, but after seeing suspicious situations, they will take the initiative to report to Qingluanwei. Although Song San and Wu Si were submissive in front of Qi Xuansu, they were also the number one people in the bottom world of the imperial capital, and their subordinates had a lot of eyes and ears. So usually they just sit in the teahouse, and only after getting the tip-off, will they go to the street.
Yesterday, they just got a report from an informant, saying that there was a new face of unknown origin, so they went to intercept Qi Xuansu, and as a result, they kicked the iron plate. However, for them, it is also a blessing in disguise, and they just happened to climb the big tree of Qi Xuansu, and they will also have many backers in the future.
Qi Xuansu said: "Recently, someone in the Imperial Capital City fraudulently used the name of the Vientiane Dao Palace to deceive, I think you have also heard of it, now the Dijing Dao Mansion is reorganized, most people, including me, have just been transferred from other places, and they are not familiar with many situations, so I want to ask you to help inquire about the situation, if there is any news, you don't act rashly, and don't startle the snake, just inform me, and leave the rest to me." ”
As long as they don't work hard, it's not a difficult thing for the two of them, and this kind of thing also relies on informants to investigate, they don't have to run around in person, as long as they are told, they naturally agree.
Qi Xuansu took out a large ticket from his sleeve and handed it to Song San.
Song San hurriedly excused himself and said, "Don't dare to do it." ”
Qi Xuansu smiled: "The biggest feeling I have when I came to Dijing is that everything is expensive, everything is expensive, the ancients said that it is not easy to live in a big place, and I am honest and do not deceive me." This 100 Taiping money, placed in the Imperial Capital City, is really nothing, and it is not for you. I'm not polite to you, and you won't ask for it, it's actually for the errand runners under your hands. After all, this matter is not a serious errand arranged by Qingluanwei, it is an extra help, and it can't be done in vain, so I invited them to tea. ”
"Since the mage said so, then I will thank the mage on their behalf." Song San took the big ticket at this time.
Of course, Qi Xuansu can't be so generous, but this kind of Taiping money used for official business can be reimbursed by his boss Shi Bingyun afterwards, so Qi Xuansu is not too distressed.
Qi Xuansu's thoughts are not complicated, on the one hand, he uses the power of the Daofu to investigate from the bright side, which will inevitably alarm this group of thieves, and on the other hand, he uses Qingluanwei's ears and eyes to secretly investigate, as long as this group of thieves is beaten and startled, and there is a move, then it is impossible for the city fox society rats to have no news at all.
