Chapter 191: Master and Apprentice
At this time, there were only two people in the hall who spoke, it was Donghua Zhenren and Yao Pei.
Donghua Zhenren sat still, while Yao Pei stood up to greet Qi Xuansu's arrival.
"Senior sister, when did you come back?" Qi Xuansu took the initiative to ask.
He knew that Yao Pei went to the Western Regions Daofu, and he also made a lot of achievements there, in fact, some places are easy to make achievements, such as the Southern Continent and the Western Regions, where the situation is complicated and there are many conflicts.
Yao Pei replied, "I also just returned to Yujing. β
After Qi Xuansu and Yao Pei saw each other, they were very casual: "I didn't know that my senior sister was coming, so I didn't prepare a gift for my senior sister, I only prepared a gift for my master, and I asked my senior sister to forgive me." β
Yao Pei still looked half-dead, and shook his head slightly: "It's okay." β
Qi Xuansu took out the prepared ancient paintings of Daqi and handed them to Donghua Zhenren: "Master likes calligraphy and painting, I recently got this "Picture of Thousands of Mountains and Thousands of Streams", and I also asked Master to appreciate it. β
"It's just that you have a lot of thoughts." Donghua Zhenren's words seem to be blamed, but if you take a closer look, this is not the case.
As he spoke, Donghua Zhenren opened the wooden box and took out the painting scroll, Qi Xuansu grabbed one end, Donghua Zhenren got up and held the other end, and the two slowly unfolded the painting together.
I saw that this painting is magnificent, as if there are thousands of mountains towering, and there are thousands of rivers and rivers flowing, in addition, there is nothing else, no wonder it is called "Ten Thousand Mountains and Thousands of Streams".
Of course, this has a meaning, mountains and rivers are also known as rivers and mountains, and rivers and mountains refer to the world.
Xuan Sheng said that the world is not the world of any one person, but the world of the people of the world.
The original meaning of Xuansheng is that all people in the world share the world.
It's just that in the context of Fenglinzhou, there is also the saying of "people in the world", which means people who end the troubled times and unify the world.
Therefore, some people extend the Great Palm Sect to "the people of the world", and they simply become the people who sit on the world, and depending on whose family is in the world today, it is naturally the world of the Great Palm Sect.
Qi Xuansu gave him a gift of "Jiangshan Sheji", which is naturally a very good wish, and it is also a kind of favorite.
When it comes to the status of Donghua Zhenren, ordinary treasures are naturally not eye-catching, that is, that position.
No matter how strict Donghua Zhenren is, he must be happy.
Some Taoist friends rely on touting and touting, Qi Xuansu does not rely on this position, but relies on real achievements, but he doesn't mind using this kind of means to add icing on the cake.
Donghua Zhenren was really happy, accepted the gift, and asked, "This painting is unusual, where did you get it?" If you take it, I won't spare you. β
Qi Xuansu said with a smile: "Master doesn't want to think about it, I went to the Southern Continent, how could there be such elegant things in that place?" I'm just trying to get some exotic artifacts. It was the uncle of the Zhang family who gave me this painting, I am a rough person, and it is also a cow chewing peony in my hands, so it is better to borrow flowers to offer Buddha. β
Donghua Zhenren nodded, agreed with this statement, and did not forget to exercise the duties of the master: "Although you have to cultivate on weekdays, don't forget to strengthen your cultural cultivation, don't ask you to be a great master in learning, at least don't make any jokes." β
Qi Xuansu responded in one bite.
Then Donghua Zhenren handed the painting to Gong Jiaojun and asked him to put it away, and the three of them sat down and talked together.
Although there was some unpleasantness between Donghua Zhenren and the Earth Master, Yao Pei did not seem to be affected. In other words, with Yao Pei's current situation, no one can see whether it has an impact or not, it is estimated that he really doesn't care, which is also the role of "Taishang Forgetting the Love Sutra", not only suppressing positive emotions, but also suppressing negative emotions.
This is the genuine "Taishang Forgetfulness Sutra", which is the same as Zhang Yuelu's genuine "Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Righteousness". As for Zhou Mengyao's "Taishang Forgetfulness Sutra", it is imitated by the "Taiping Qing Collar Sutra", which naturally has no such effect, just like Qi Xuansu's "Taiyin Thirteen Swords", which has no form but no god.
Qi Xuansuruo inadvertently opened the conversation: "I heard that the old chief of Ziwei Hall is retiring?" β
This old chief is the former deputy hall master of Ziwei Hall, who has been working for many years, and belongs to a very old real person, similar to Li Tianlan, but he can't cross this step to know the real person. After Yao Shu became the head of the Borneo Provincial Mansion, he was promoted to the chief, but seeing that the real person was hopeless, he was somewhat disheartened, and planned to retire, focusing on self-cultivation in the future, racing against the three corpse gods in his body, and striving to live past the one hundred and twenty years old.
This is also the helplessness of many people, of course the immortals can work until they die, if it is not for the restrictions of the heavenly tribulation, many immortals don't even mind working for another life.
But people who are not immortals have to consider the issue of lifespan, immortals have a limit on the tribulation, and people who are not immortals have a limit on the three corpse gods. If you are busy with official business, neglect the suppression of the three corpse gods, and let them make waves, attack and mutilate their lives, they may not live to be a hundred years old.
Power is good, but it also comes with poison.
It's a matter of trade-offs.
This old chief probably figured it out, if he could be promoted to a real person and become a high-level Daomen in the true sense, then he would be able to live a few years less. But if you can't go up, then it's still your life first, and it's better to leave early and leave late.
Donghua Zhenren gave a positive answer: "It's decided, now is the period of stay-at-home, just wait for the new chief to arrive, and then completely retire." β
Qi Xuansu glanced at Yao Pei: "Senior sister should have a good chance." β
Donghua Zhenren: "Of course there is a chance. β
Qi Xuansu immediately understood why Yao Pei was here.
At this critical moment, Donghua Zhenren still compromised with the Yao family, and let Yao Pei normally become the chief deputy hall master of Ziwei Hall, parallel to Zhang Yuelu and Li Changge. This also reveals a deeper signal, sooner or later, the position of the earth master will still be the Yao family.
If the competition fails, Qi Xuansu, as Li Changge's main competitor, will definitely be the focus of the Li family's suppression. Even if he is lucky, that is, to be a real person in charge of the palace and a big real person in charge of the palace, for example, let him go to Dongpo Suozhou to guard the border pass, be isolated and marginalized.
In this case, Qi Xuansu certainly couldn't be an earth master.
In fact, Qi Xuansu is a road to Xiyue, either he succeeds in reaching the top, or he collapses or recovers, and there is no intermediate option of being a deputy head of the sect, because Qi Xuansu has no foundation and is not from the three major families.
As long as Qi Xuansu is dealt with, Qi Xuansu's faction will basically collapse. On the other hand, the three major families are intertwined and flourishing, and any family is shaking the foundation.
To put it bluntly, Donghua Zhenren is also gambling, if he becomes a big palm teacher, it will naturally be easy to arrange, whether it is to regret letting Qi Xuansu be a land master, or to fight for the re-election of the master and apprentice as a big master and apprentice, he can plan. If he can't be a Great Palm Sect, and Qi Xuansu can't be a Great Palm Sect, then everything should be mentioned, it should be the Yao family's nature or the Yao family's.
In today's situation, Qi Xuansu is the first to ascend to the rank of senzhi, to be a real person in charge of the palace, and to ride the dust. The second is Li Changge, who is not only the chief of the upper three halls, but also the special envoy of the Daomen. Zhang Yuelu and Yao Pei are just chiefs.
Qi Xuansu thought about it, but still didn't congratulate Yao Pei.
One is that he is showing off, and the other is that Yao Pei is like this, and she won't care.
Qi Xuansu said: "If Senior Sister is Master's deputy, it would be better, and my own disciples should rest assured and reliable." β
Donghua Zhenren seemed to think of Qi Jianyuan, so he didn't agree, but said: "Tianyuan, you did a good job in the Southern Continent this time, and Jiang Dazhen has a high opinion of you." β
Qi Xuansu said: "Jiang Dazhen has won the prize." The main thing is that the Taoist friends of the West Daomen are doing their best, and Jiang Dazhen is strategizing......"
Donghua Zhenren waved his hand: "Okay, there are no outsiders left and right, don't say these clichΓ©s, what should be yours is yours, and others can't take it." According to Shi Da Zhenren's suggestion, it has been decided to reset the master of the Vientiane Dao Palace, and your matter is about to be decided. It's just that the promotion to the real person is a big deal, and it will take some time. β
Qi Xuansu said: "I'm not in a hurry, it just so happens that I still want to go to Nanyang." β
Donghua Zhenren thought for a while, nodded and said: "It's okay, Xie Jiaofeng has an accident, I, as his old boss, am also responsible, but I can't get out of here, it just so happens that you are the old chief of the Borneo Provincial Government, so you will go to it, and you must deal with this matter well." β
Qi Xuansu replied in a deep voice: "Yes." β
Then Qi Xuansu took the opportunity to mention Chen Jianqiu's matter, hoping to quickly confirm it, so that Chen Jianqiu could go over with him.
Donghua Zhenren directly agreed.
The master-apprentice conversation didn't last long. Because of Yao Pei, the master and apprentice did not have more in-depth exchanges.
I have to say that Donghua Zhenren is still treated a little differently, although Qi Xuansu is a late entry, and Yao Pei is still the niece of Donghua Zhenren, but Donghua Zhenren obviously trusts Qi Xuansu more and can confess to Qi Xuansu more. Yao Pei, after all, it was Yao in front of Pei, maybe Donghua Zhenren had similar expectations for Qi Jianyuan, but this Qi was not the same Qi.
Yao Pei has been quiet and doesn't talk much.
Qi Xuansu said goodbye from Donghua Zhenren and said to Chen Jianqiu: "Yunzheng, you prepare and go back to Nanyang with me." β
Chen Jianqiu was stunned for a moment: "Now? β
Qi Xuansu said: "It's only been a few days, your appointment will come down soon, I asked Master for a temporary errand in Ziweitang, send you to the post, and solve some problems by the way, I won't stay in Nanyang for too long." β
Chen Jianqiu responded.
Once upon a time, it was Yao Shu who sent Qi Xuansu to Borneo to take office, and in a blink of an eye, it became Qi Xuansu sending others to take office.
However, in this way, the relationship between Chen Jianqiu and Qi Xuansu is completely on the surface, Qi Xuansu pulled Chen Jianqiu with one hand, and personally sent him to take office, which can't help but make people wonder if Chen Jianqiu and Qi Xuansu should be long-lost brothers.
It's no wonder that Li Minghuang wanted to say something strange, he was infamous on his back, jumping left and right, only today, Chen Jianqiu followed the right boss, and he made steady progress.
