Chapter 200: Li Minghuang (I)
The time was tight, bidding during the day and leaving in the evening by flying boat, with less than an afternoon in between.
The bidding entered the final stage, and Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu, as the fourth and second, were invited to come forward and say a few words.
Because of his involvement in the Qingping Society, Qi Xuansu doesn't like to show his face, but he is not stage frightened. He does have a bit of humor inherited from Qi Niang, but he generally only shows this humor in front of people close to him, and in front of others, his image is actually very serious, such as when he was in Dijing, but no one thinks that Master Qi is a kind and talkative person.
This is the multifaceted nature of human beings, and a cruel butcher can also be a kind father in front of his children.
As for Zhang Yuelu, she is even more familiar with this kind of thing, a person who aspires to be a big master, the last thing she is afraid of is this kind of occasion, today she is just speaking in the auditorium of the Shangqing Palace, if it is a big master, she will speak in Jinque and Zixiao Palace, and she is facing three great real people in charge, all Pingzhang real people, thirty-six real people and many ordinary real people.
Qi Xuansu's speech is decent, not brilliant, and there is no timidity, it can be summed up as an official cliché, lackluster and not false, but it will not be faulted.
It is better to be silent. If you don't say any word, you will be the master of that sentence, and if you say it, you will be the slave of that word. If you have to speak, then say some official clichés, as if you have said a lot, and as if you have said nothing, since you have said nothing, you will naturally not become a slave to a certain sentence.
Zhang Yuelu's speech was much sharper, she said: "The lard has to be stained with a layer of oil, not only the bidding held in the Shangqing Palace today, but all such activities, after all, it is still a good thing, but whether it can really be implemented, but it is inevitable to put a question mark."
The Central Plains people did not have the habit of writing with question marks, which was the habit of Westerners, and was well known by the people in the Taoist sect with the exchanges between the East and the West, and was used here by Zhang Yuelu.
Zhang Kuancheng followed this and said: "This matter must indeed be taken seriously, there must be clear accounts for bidding and docking with Duzhitang after the fact, and a reliable supervision system should be established, and both sides should send people to review, and good things cannot be turned into a means for some people to get rich."
Finally, Zhang Wuliang, who represents the Heavenly Master, is responsible for the finish.
A bid has come to an end.
"This Qi Deputy Hall Master is a bit interesting." Li Minghuang muttered to himself as he got up to leave.
"I've heard a saying that this Qi Xuansu has nothing to do with the Qi family, but has a deep relationship with the Yao family and the Pei family." Li Changsheng said calmly.
Li Minghuang said: "This is also reasonable, if there is no one above and no roots below, even if he has great merit, it is impossible for him to reach such a position at this age."
Li Changsheng sighed with emotion: "Don't underestimate the Yao family, although the Zhang family and the Li family are powerful, many situations are on the bright side, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it. For example, the broken things of the Zhang family's major sects and various small sects, their big sects are not right, and they guard against other sects, not to mention. For example, our Li family takes turns to sit in the village, and there are no fewer conflicts. But the Yao family is really hidden, and it is said that the Yao family is the third largest family in the Dao Sect after the Zhang and Li families, but what is the situation within the Yao family, but few people know, when have you heard of the factional strife within the Yao family?"
Li Minghuang was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that the Yao family was indeed shrouded in a layer of fog, which was incomprehensible, and it was extremely low-key compared to the flamboyant Zhang family and the Li family. Many times, the eyes of the Li family always fall on the old rival Zhang family, and it is inevitable to ignore the existence of the Yao family intentionally or unintentionally.
Li Minghuang said in a low voice: "The mussels and cranes compete, and the fishermen benefit. The Yao family must be guarded against."
Li Changsheng said: "That being said, how can the inertia of hundreds of years be so easy to reverse? Patriarch Situ and Xuansheng eased the relationship between the Zhang and Li families, but Patriarch Situ died, and the abolished Heavenly Master Zhang Jingshen seriously injured Mrs. Xuansheng, and those efforts became useless. With the death of the first generation of Heavenly Masters and the second generation of Heavenly Masters after Zhongxing, it is inevitable that the Zhang family and the Li family will return to the old road of confrontation. On the other hand, Quanzhen Dao, they have already laid the groundwork, and a generation of earth masters personally married the Zhang family, which is to lay the foundation early, and we are not the only ones who know that they have laid the ambush several generations in advance."
plum
Minghuang asked again, "What about the Zhang family, what kind of foreshadowing did they bury?"
"The Purple Light True Monarch and the Celestial Master himself are one of them, and there are others, I don't know." Li Changsheng said.
The two walked out of the auditorium side by side.
At this moment, a figure suddenly flashed out, blocking the way of the two.
It was Zhang Yuyue.
Li Changsheng's white eyebrows moved slightly, but he didn't speak.
He is an elder and a guest, and there is no reason to worry about a junior. Besides, this is a romantic debt caused by Li Minghuang, a kid, and naturally Li Minghuang has to deal with it himself.
"What do you have to do?" Li Minghuang took a step forward, because this is the territory of the Zhang family, and now the Li family needs to ease the relationship, so Li Minghuang did not use the "Jade Sister" when the two got along, but used a more polite "Miss Zhang" title.
Zhang Yuyue had a thousand words, and she wanted to scold him for being a bloody dog, and she hated to eat his flesh, but when she really stood in front of Li Minghuang, she felt like a fish in her throat and couldn't speak.
To say that the most embarrassing thing at this moment is Dong Baijing, as a husband, he should stand up for his wife, but he can only humiliate himself against Li Minghuang, he really has the ability to suppress Li Minghuang, why suffer Zhang Yuyue's anger, wouldn't it be better to get along with Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu on an equal footing?
He is just a son-in-law, and no one will criticize him, after all, the son-in-law is not the one who supports the portal. A man whose ancestors are not allowed to worship has to ask him to stand up to the sky and the earth and shelter women from the wind and rain, which is like letting a harem woman take the responsibility for the fall of the dynasty, which does not make sense.
However, Dong Baijing hesitated a little, but still came to Zhang Yuyue's side, and the husband and wife stood side by side.
Li Minghuang frowned, very displeased.
Most men have one problem, and that is possessiveness.
Although Li Minghuang has abandoned Zhang Yuyue, in his subconscious, Zhang Yuyue is still his woman, if there is a chance, such as after he soars, it is not impossible to continue the frontier. But now that Zhang Yuyue is married to someone else, he no longer lets him monopolize it, which makes him very uncomfortable, and the man who married Zhang Yuyue has become very eye-catching.
A gloom flashed across Li Minghuang's eyes.
Dong Baijing saw that his wife didn't speak, so he took the initiative to speak, "Li Minghuang, you should apologize."
It's just a matter of calling his name behind his back, and it is taboo to call him by his name in person, unless his status or seniority is too high. Obviously, Dong Baijing does not have such a status.
In an instant, Li Minghuang decided to teach this guy who didn't know the height of the sky a lesson, and the Zhang family couldn't say anything afterwards, who made this kid dare to call him by his name?
Li Minghuang's face remained unchanged, but his right hand in his sleeve was slowly clenched into a fist.
Li Changsheng was aware of it, but he had no intention of stopping it.
It's best to cut through the mess quickly. Zhang Kucheng obviously didn't want to mention the bad things back then, because there were not too many people who knew the inside story, he probably didn't want his family ugliness to be publicized, if it was because of this little episode and then pulled out those things back then, forcing Zhang Kucheng to mention, it was not to ease the relationship, but to provoke them, then their trip to Yunjin Mountain was a complete failure, it was better to nip it in the bud.
The next moment, Li Minghuang's figure swept forward suddenly.
Dong Baijing didn't have time to react at all.
However, someone reacted, and when Li Minghuang's fist was about to touch Dong Baijing, he grabbed Li Minghuang's wrist from the side, so that he could not advance for half a minute.
But Rao is like this, the fierce fist wind still made Dong Baijing's hair and clothes flutter backwards, and even the skin on his face rippled with a layer of folds, and his lips turned up, revealing his gums.
"Brother Li Dao, why are you so angry?" The man spoke.
Li Minghuang squinted.
It's not Zhang Yuelu, it's Qi Xuansu.
Li Minghuang is a real immeasurable stage, and it is rumored that he will soon be promoted to a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest, one realm higher than Qi Xuansu. Therefore, Qi Xuansu wanted to stop this punch, it was not easy, he had already used the Golden Body Realm, the Seeing God Realm, and the Cultivation Realm, the three realms were one, and the divine power, body and spirit, martial arts strength, and true qi were multi-pronged.
and with a heart and no heart, this made Li Minghuang's punch return in vain.
However, Qi Xuansu knew that he couldn't show his timidity, not only could he not show any solemnity, but his face was still light and light, and he seemed to have a lot of spare strength.
"This man calls me by my first name, and it makes sense for me to punch him. Brother Qi Dao stopped me, did he want to take it for him?" Li Minghuang said slowly.
Qi Xuansu smiled, "It's not so serious, is it? Everyone is a fellow Daoist, and Brother Li Dao has a lot of them, so it's better to leave it at that."
"What if I don't want to?" Li Minghuang did not back down.
At this moment, Zhang Yuelu also came not far away and said, "Then I will teach Deputy Hall Master Li's mastery, how about it?"
Li Minghuang smiled: "Wheel war? Why don't you two go up together?"
Zhang Yuelu was about to speak, but Qi Xuansu raised her other hand and stopped her: "Qingxiao, Brother Li Dao has said so, it's better for me to meet Brother Li Dao for a while."
Zhang Yuelu did not object.
Li Minghuang said: "I have no grievances or hatred with Brother Qi Dao, so we are limited to three moves."
"Three moves are three moves."
Before the words fell, Qi Xuansu had already made a move, his right hand was still holding Li Minghuang's wrist, and his left hand punched out, which was the "Celestial Momentum" in the "Tantai Fist Intent".
This punch is not a "Gong Candle Cane", and time has not really slowed down, but Li Minghuang's senses have been affected and slowed down.
However, Li Minghuang was one realm higher than Qi Xuansu after all, and this effect did not last too long, Li Minghuang still opened the five fingers of his right hand at the last moment to block Qi Xuansu's punch, and did not let Qi Xuansu's punch hit his face.
