Chapter Seventy-Three: Prosthetic Eyes and Stone Hearts
The pomp and circumstance of this reception banquet is not large, and it can even be said to be simple to a certain extent.
In addition to Qi Xuansu, the host, and Shangguan Ya, the guest, there were only three people, namely Han Yongfeng, who was involved in the matter, Ke Qingqing, who was in charge of various chores, and Lu Yuting from the Huashengtang.
It can be said that these three people can be regarded as Qi Xuansu's henchmen, and although Lu Yuting is a person from Taiping Dao, she can also be trusted. Just like Wang Jiaohe, although he is a person of the whole truth, he cannot be trusted at all. The three paths are a big concept, if the three paths are really distinct, each of them is ironclad, and the three camps are completely opposed to the extreme, then there is no such thing as you have me and I have you.
In fact, the truth is not complicated, for Lu Yuting, what are the benefits of Taiping Dao in the brain? Li Changge will not treat her differently, there are too many people from the dragon, and it is not her turn at all. Qi Xuansu is different, he lacks a foundation, lacks manpower, following Qi Xuansu is a big gamble, once the bet is right, then one step to the sky.
The key is not to bear the moral burden, the dispute between the three realms does not involve the righteousness of the family and the country, and the same disciples of the Taoist sect do not have a real sense of life and death. Even the Three Paths themselves were wanted to be abolished by Xuan Sheng but did not have time to do so, and their existence itself may not be very reasonable.
At the end of the day, just like the period when the world was competing for deer, some big forces were full of talents, and there was no place for them. If you want to get ahead, the best way is to go to some people who have not yet made a fortune, and you can quickly become the core.
In the same way, Lu Yuting can only be regarded as a marginal figure in Taiping Dao, and it is difficult to see Li Changge. But on Qi Xuansu's side, she can deeply participate in some of Qi Xuansu's decisions, and now she has been promoted to the chief director of the branch of the Transformation Hall, not to mention any life-saving grace, even for the sake of her own future interests, she will also be loyal to Qi Xuansu.
As for the Lu family, they are even more happy to see it happen. The big families are used to multi-sided betting, so that they can prosper for a long time. It is true that the Lu family is on the chariot of the Li family, but it does not prevent the Lu family from placing a few idlers elsewhere and burning a cold stove, since Lu Yuting has a relationship with Qi Xuansu by chance, then they naturally pretend not to know, and Lu Yuting will develop.
In the world, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens.
Although it seems that the Li family has a great advantage now, who can say for sure until the last moment? In case, in case Qi Xuansu has great luck, God favors him, Daozu blesses him, Xuansheng favors him, plus he makes people happy, and the three shows of Daomen are all defeated, so he picks up a big bargain. At that time, the Lu family still has to count on Lu Yuting.
This is how the big families survive. They have enough confidence to try and make mistakes, and they also have enough capital to guarantee the bottom, and they are cunning and don't put their eggs in one basket. On the other hand, people from the grassroots have neither the opportunity for trial and error, nor the capital to guarantee the bottom, so they can only identify one road, and then go to the black one road. If you bet right, you will become a family. If you make a mistake, everything will come to naught.
In fact, this is still the case at the level of Qi Xuansu. Zhang Yuelu was defeated, and the Zhang family is still the Zhang family. Li Changge was defeated, and the Li family is still the Li family. Yao Pei was defeated, and the Yao family is still the Yao family. Even if these three people are defeated, they can still be the deputy head of the Dazhen and Pingzhang Dazhen with the support of the family behind them. Qi Xuansu doesn't have such confidence, once he is defeated, he will be defeated, and there is no way out.
When will the pawn who crossed the river be able to turn back?
Donghua Zhenren uses Qi Xuansu, which is to move forward.
Each of them is seated
After that, Shangguan Ya took off her hat and revealed her true face.
I have to say that half of the intact face is really good-looking, and under the backdrop of the other half, it is not even much inferior to Li Qingnu. As for the other half of the face that is not so intact, it is also really scary. The legendary Asura clan has extremely ugly men and extremely beautiful women, and these two characteristics are presented on Shangguan Ya's face at the same time.
Han Yongfeng had already seen it, but he was not so surprised. Ke Qingqing and Lu Yuting were taken aback.
Shangguan Ya obviously doesn't care about her appearance, nor does she care about what others say about her, the reason why she wears a hat is because she is afraid that her special appearance will attract the attention of others too much, which is not conducive to hiding her identity, and the reason why she took off her hood is mainly inconvenient - Qi Xuansu has already raised her glass.
Qi Xuansu didn't have Shangguan Ya's appearance
There was any surprise, and he didn't even raise his eyebrows, just raised his glass to toast: "Shangguan Daoyou has come from afar, I will toast you."
Shangguan Ya raised his wine glass and touched it, and drank it all.
Ke Qingqing and Lu Yuting didn't know the identity of Shangguan Ya, and when they heard Qi Xuansu as a Taoist friend, they also fell into Han Yongfeng's misunderstanding, and only regarded Shangguan Ya as a disciple of Taoism. The Dao Gate is too big, counting the Dao people and spiritual officials, it is claimed that there are 30 million disciples, and it is reasonable not to know them.
Strictly speaking, the Eight Divisions are indeed disciples of the Daomen, they just broke away from the system of the Daomen, but they did not deny the Daomen, let alone the Dao Ancestor and the Xuan Sheng. If you really want to talk about it according to the genealogy of generations, you can also be right. For example, Shangguan Ya, she is the "teaching" character.
Shangguan Ya put down the wine glass and said, "Qi Niang often mentions Qi Jixi."
"Is it, what did Qi Niang say about me?" Qi Xuansu asked with a smile, he was not afraid of exposing the existence of Qi Niang, after all, his house was bought by Qi Niang, one check is accurate, the key is whether anyone checks, in the final analysis, Qi Niang is connected to the ground master, and the earth master is to start a war against the whole truth.
Shangguan Ya said: "It can be seen that Qi Niang is still proud of Qi Cixi, and thinks that Qi Cixi is her pride."
Ke, Han, and Lu each exchanged a look, and the three of them had already faintly heard that Qi Cixi had a stepmother, and it was very big, how big was it? As far as Ke Qingqing knows, Donghua Zhenren should also be treated with courtesy. This is also the key to Qi Cixi's high position at a young age, otherwise Qi Cixi will not be able to climb to such a high position no matter how great his ability is.
I think this stepmother is the "Qi Niang" in the mouth of the two.
Qi Xuansu was still a little surprised when he heard this, after all, Qi Niang rarely praised him, but he didn't expect Qi Niang to be a different face in front of outsiders.
Perhaps, when Qi Niang first chose him, she didn't expect him to go so fast.
Qi Xuansu lost his mind slightly: "That's the case."
Shangguan Ya's prosthetic eye, which was hidden behind the lens, turned slightly, flickering with a faint light, as if it was looking around.
The Eight Divisions believe that they can inherit the orthodoxy of the creation project better than the Avatar Sect, and they are also more radical than the Avatar Sect, and their methods are naturally not to be underestimated.
At this time, Shangguan Ya has two perspectives, one is a normal perspective, and the other is a rather metaphysical perspective.
From this perspective of metaphysical atmosphere, everyone has a different color, and the depth of their realm cultivation can be judged according to the depth of the color.
Han Yongfeng, the color is red, this
It means that he is a martial artist, the color is slightly lighter, and he is very close to the red color, but it is not yet red, and there is a little bit of orange and yellow color remaining, which means that he is not a celestial martial artist, and he is about the nine-story building of the true stage.
Lu Yuting, the color is cyan, which means that she is a Fangshi, and the same color is slightly lighter, which means that she is also not among the heavens and is in the stage of returning to the truth.
Ke Qingqing, the color is earthy yellow, which means that she is a qi refiner, and her realm cultivation is slightly inferior to the other two, but considering that she is younger, it is also reasonable.
In addition, the witch is golden, and the scattered people are white.
The immortals are the color of the sky, the color of the sky, the color of the earth, and the color of the earth, and the color of the heaven and the earth, which correspond to the heavenly immortals and the earth immortals.
The key lies in Qi Xuansu, Shangguan Ya originally thought that Qi Xuansu would be Xuanse, that is, an immortal.
She never expected that Qi Xuansu was red, white, blue, Xuan, yellow, and gold were intertwined, although the shades of each color were not consistent, meaning that there were strong and weak, but they were basically above heaven and man.
Shangguan Ya, who saw this situation for the first time, was completely shocked, what is this?
There are only two acquired immortals in the huge Daomen, and the Huashengtang does preserve a "Heart of the Immortal Stone", but it is not granted to anyone, but as a reference, imitation sample is strictly sealed by the Immortal Hall, Li Changge's "Heart of the Immortal Stone" comes from the Li family from generation to generation, Qi Xuansu's "Heart of the Immortal Stone" comes from the Lingshan Cave Heaven, and the identity of Qi Niang is so
Duo, he will not confess to the eight people, so even Shangguan Ya did not react at the first time.
However, after all, the Eight Tribes were inherited from the creation project of the year, and their mastery of the secret was far beyond that of others, and Shangguan Ya, as the deputy leader, also knew more than others, so she still quickly thought of the creation project, and couldn't help but further "snoop" on Qi Xuansu.
So Shangguan Ya increased the power of the prosthetic eye, and the light of the prosthetic eye became more and more intense, and these rays were absorbed by the lenses of her glasses, and did not cause much movement.
In Shangguan Ya's metaphysical perspective, Qi Xuansu, who is full of six-colored light, is further deconstructed, as if an invisible hand has lifted those colors and pointed directly at its core.
Clearing the "fog", Shangguan Ya spied out part of the truth.
In Qi Xuansu's heart, there is a stone full of ancient atmosphere and carved with various totemic patterns.
The stone is alive, "beating" like a heart. In other words, it is not appropriate to describe it as beating, it is more like the continuous repetitive motion of celestial bodies and stars following some kind of law.
There is no doubt that this is a very clever creation.
Looking closely, there are illusory acupuncture points on the stone, condensing a false body god, and simulating the so-called most real martial arts body god by making fake into real. At the same time, it is also the middle dantian of the qi refiner, connecting the upper and lower levels, and even has the role of part of the upper dantian.
[In view of the general environment,
This is beyond Shangguan Ya's comprehension.
However, this also reminded Shangguan Ya of a legend that in ancient times, the witch doctor of the witch sect could use stones instead of hearts to save people, and give people hearts. As long as the person being exchanged believes that his stone heart is real, then this heart can replace a damaged heart. But once someone punctures the matter, or the person who has been changed has found out that his heart is fake, the heart of the stone will turn back into an ordinary stone, and the person who has changed his heart will die on the spot.
