Chapter 63 Conditions
Donghua Zhenren, who painted, straightened up: "Open the coffin for autopsy?"
Judging from Donghua Zhenren's reaction, he didn't seem to know.
However, people at this level are also self-taught in acting, and they are more sincere than professional actors, who can say clearly?
Qi Xuansu continued, "Yes...... The tomb of my master, Qi Haoran."
Donghua Zhenren said something seemingly unrelated: "Actually, I used to think it was a pity, if you don't have a teacher, then you can be my disciple. Are you going to switch to another one?"
Qi Xuansu smiled bitterly: "Real people are still in the mood to joke."
"I'm not joking, master and apprentice are like father and son, although our Taoism has denied Confucianism, but the way of loyalty and filial piety advocated by Confucianism still has a deep residue, you go to dig Master's grave, poke it out is a big scandal, but it is much worse than those men and women who chase after the wind and shadows." Donghua Zhenren put down the paintbrush in his hand, "By the way, did Zhang Qingxiao tell you about your report letter?"
Qi Xuansu was a little dazed: "What report letter? Qingxiao didn't mention it at all."
This is not to blame Zhang Yuelu, as for Qi Xuansu's virtue yesterday, how dare she say that the main energy is used to comfort Qi Xuansu, and this matter is shelved..z.
Donghua Zhenren looked at Qi Xuansu: "Let me tell you what is good, although you are husband and wife, but you have not become a Taoist couple after all, people have solved the matter for you, you have to show something."
Qi Xuansu hurriedly responded, "Yes."
Donghua Zhenren also had no intention of painting, sat down on the chair behind the bookcase, wiped his hands with a hand towel, and asked, "What did you find when you opened the coffin?"
Qi Xuansu said, "Nothing."
Donghua Zhenren's action of wiping his hands paused slightly, and he didn't say anything.
Qi Xuansu continued: "To be precise, although there is no corpse, there is still a sword left, and it is preliminarily concluded that it should be the incarnation of the military dissolution in the Sanren inheritance, and it is likely to be a corpse dissecting immortal."
Donghua Zhenren's eyes lit up instantly, and then returned to normal: "Why did you suddenly remember to open the coffin for an autopsy?"
Qi Xuansu was silent for a moment, but he still decided to take a gamble, and bet that Donghua Zhenren would protect him: "I went to Lingshan Cave Heaven."
Donghua Zhenren's tone sank: "How dare you go to the Lingshan Cave Heaven without the permission of the Earth Master?"
Qi Xuansu did not defend himself, and directly and frankly admitted his mistake: "I didn't ask for instructions in advance, I made a rash mistake, and I am willing to accept the punishment."
In fact, if Qi Xuansu really wants to die and not admit his mistakes, there is no problem, because he went there decades ago, and there was no Qi Xuansu at that time, and the paradoxical logic in this is difficult to use as evidence. It's just that in this way, it is not good to show his sincerity to Donghua Zhenren.
Donghua Zhenren only nodded, without any intention of accountability, and did not even ask Lingshan Dongtian's specific experience: "What does this have to do with your master Qi Haoran?"
Qi Xuansu explained, "Lingshan Cave Heaven has nothing to do with my master, but it has something to do with Qi Niang. After I came back from Lingshan Cave Heaven, I had a deep conversation with Qi Niang and learned some inside information, so I had this open coffin autopsy."
Donghua Zhenren didn't have to ask too much detail, he could already roughly understand the cause and effect of this, and he did not rush to show his attitude, but fell into contemplation.
Qi Xuansu just waited quietly.
After a long time, Donghua Zhenren finally spoke, "I know."
Qi Xuansu did not directly say goodbye and leave, but looked at Donghua Zhenren.
He shouldn't have been so uncomplacent, only this time he wanted a clear answer.
Donghua Zhenren was tolerant of Qi Xuansu, and still comforted him: "I will personally investigate, a mysterious autopsy immortal is hidden in the Dao Gate, and it must be very big."
This is a reassuring pill, Qi Xuansu was so determined that he was finally willing to get up and say goodbye.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Qi Xuansu felt that Donghua Zhenren was both surprised and not surprised, at first Donghua Zhenren was obviously surprised, but then it seemed to have sorted out something, or connected some clues, this feeling was like Donghua Zhenren knew part of the inside story, there were some guesses, and it was not finished
Knowing all the inside information, Qi Xuansu's report seemed to have given Donghua Zhenren a more important piece of the puzzle.
However, Donghua Zhenren did not rush to let Qi Xuansu go, but made a suggestion to Qi Xuansu: "Since your master does not exist, or his identity is doubtful, or even has other plans, then your master-apprentice relationship can also be said to exist in name only, and I, as the real person in charge of Ziwei Hall, is in charge of various personnel issues, and I can end this master-apprentice relationship for you."
Qi Xuansu couldn't help but be stunned.
Tung Wah continued, "In addition to that, I also have a suggestion. My last disciple Qi Jianyuan is dead, and there is a vacancy for the disciples under my name, I wonder if you are willing to worship me as a teacher? Although I am only a cultivator at the pseudo-immortal stage now, I am not too far away from immortality, and I can still guide you."
Qi Xuansu never expected that Donghua Zhenren would put forward such a condition, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Master and apprentice are like father and son, after all, they are not father and son. As Qi Xuansu scolded in the Requiem Division, except for your biological parents, how can you be unconditionally good to you, what master and apprentice are like father and son, or fart.
Therefore, the father-son relationship is predestined, but the master-apprentice relationship is not.
Over the years, it has been common for master and apprentice to turn against each other.
It is said that the disciple does not have to be inferior to the master, and there are disciples who surpass the master, but at this time, the master is no longer a helper, but has become a burden, so some people want to change the court, find a more powerful master, a bigger backer, and a greater help. The disadvantage is that it will be morally condemned by others, and its reputation will be hindered. The representative figure in this regard is Li Minghuang, who is not looking for a master but a father-in-law, and the reason is the same.
Qi Xuansu has never had such an idea in the past, he recognized Qi Haoran, and often chattered, saying how good his master is, without his master, he would not be where he is today, and he compares his master Qi Haoran with Qi Niang, as if he is his father.
Because of this, Qi Haoran hit him very hard.
Now, all of this is fake, and Qi Xuansu's persistence seems unnecessary, except for setting him off like a fool, it doesn't make much sense.
If there was no such thing, then Donghua Zhenren would not have mentioned it at all, even if Qi Xuansu's master died.
Because Donghua Zhenren is competing for the juncture of the Great Palm Sect, he doesn't want to be contaminated with a little dust, and he robs the reputation of his apprentice with the dead, which is not good.
In the same way, in doing so, Qi Xuansu's reputation is not good, and if he changes his court, he has problems with his character, concepts, and morality. In this era of the Great Clear Stream, it is inevitable that everyone will be clear and everyone will engage in moral judgment.
But it's another matter if there is a reason for it.
According to the Confucian point of view: the king regards the minister as a sibling, and the minister regards the king as the heart. The monarch regards the minister as a dog and a horse, and the minister regards the monarch as a countryman. The king regards the minister as a mustard, and the minister regards the king as a wolf.
Monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons.
The master is sorry for the apprentice, and treats the apprentice as a tool, a dog and a horse, and a mustard. Of course, the apprentice can disown the master.
Some people may want to say that Qi Haoran didn't do anything to be sorry for Qi Xuansu, so why is there a presumption of guilt?
Actually, there is no guilt or innocence here, it is just a simple logical question.
What does a corpse dissecting immortal want to do when he deliberately accepted Qi Xuansu as an apprentice, hid his identity, and pretended to be invincible to the "inn" killer, and "desperately" let Qi Xuansu escape, and finally faked his death and escaped?
It can't be a game of fun, or a game in the world.
There's definitely something wrong with that, and it's a big problem.
According to the logic of normal people, there must be a conspiracy, and it cannot be said that there is no such thing just because Qi Xuansu realized that something was wrong in advance and broke some of the conspiracy. You can't wait until Qi Xuansu is dead before you can really be sure that you have done something sorry for Qi Xuansu. That's too dogmatic.
That's why Donghua Zhenren proposed to accept Qi Xuansu as an apprentice.
Qi Xuansu immediately realized two problems.
The first question, if Donghua Zhenren wants to accept all Xuan Su as disciples, it is definitely not sneaky, but above board. If you want to accept disciples openly and honestly and not let others gossip, you must explain the cause and effect of this, not Qi Xuansu changed the court, nor did it
Donghua Zhenren relied on his power to rob other people's apprentices, but Qi Haoran was not worthy of being a master. In this way, Qi Haoran's matter is equivalent to being made public, and it is a complete showdown with the people behind the whole thing, which is contrary to Qi Xuansu's original intention.
The second question is that Donghua Zhenren doesn't want to point out Qi Xuansu anything, Qi Xuansu is an acquired immortal, and he doesn't need to be taught by others, this is actually a matter of power inheritance. Someone said a long time ago that Qi Xuansu is the "eldest son" of Donghua Zhenren at the power level, and he pulled it up with one hand. Yao Pei is the "stepson" who has been in vain after entering the family, with a noble status, and is called a father on the surface. Donghua Zhenren officially accepted Qi Xuansu as an apprentice, which is to make this relationship clear, which means that Yao Pei's "out", and it also means that Qi Xuansu and Donghua Zhenren are completely bound, if Qi Xuansu wants to compete for the Great Palm Sect, reputation is very important, then he can't betray the master, and at the same time, it also means a showdown with the earth master and the Yao family.
What prompted Donghua Zhenren to make this decision? It was the "puzzle" provided by Qi Xuansu that made Donghua Zhenren figure out a lot of things?
But Qi Xuansu was not ready, after all, it was too sudden, and when Lingshan Cave Heaven faced Yao Liu, he was still emphasizing leaving a line. In the blink of an eye, there is a showdown? It's also too radical. Whether it is at the ideological level or in terms of concrete actions, Qi Xuansu is far from being prepared.
In addition, Qi Xuansu did not completely let go of Qi Haoran.
Qi Xuansu was silent for a moment: "It's too sudden, I don't know how to reply to a real person."
Donghua Zhenren once again showed tolerance: "Don't worry, you can go back and think about it first, ask Qingxiao, Qi Niang, and Heavenly Master for their opinions, and then give me an answer."
Qi Xuansu knew in his heart that if he wanted Donghua Zhenren to be completely on his side, apprenticeship was inevitable, and only when the two were completely bound together and there was no betrayal, Donghua Zhenren could help him wholeheartedly under pressure.
