Pawn Crossing the River

Chapter 21: Long-standing friendship

This is a big ship of "Tian Ting".

How did Qi Xuansu figure it out?

The flag is hanging.

The banner of "Heavenly Court" flapped in the wind.

In the Central Plains, the "Tian Ting" may have to cover up, but in Nanyang, the "Tian Ting" doesn't even bother to hide its identity.

The big ship rode the wind and waves and rushed towards Daomen's flying boat.

"Heavenly Court" is so arrogant?

Qi Xuansu stood on the bow of the boat, with his hands behind his back, and there was no emotion or anger on his face.

This is a large ship with a Western style. Strictly speaking, it is a large ship with quite an ancient Western style. In the age of ironclads, in the age of artillery, in the age of steam, there were still rams, sails were still used, and Portrait of ship. However, the figure on the bow of the ship does not look like a queen from the South Seas, but a goddess from the West, with her hands folded on her chest.

However, there are many Chinese-style modifications on the Western-style hull, which is somewhat nondescript.

This ship is like the epitome of "Tianting", a hodgepodge, no matter it is good or bad, whether it is fragrant or smelly, Absorb them all in, stew them randomly, and create a four-dimensional image.

As the big ship approached, the originally bright weather suddenly turned gloomy. Black clouds rolled, the wind roared, and the sea surface was no longer calm. It kept rising and falling. The sea water changed from azure blue to deep blue, and finally turned into pitch black.

The big ship lit up with a dim light, its speed did not slow down at all. The collision angle was like a spear, separating the strong wind and the huge waves, and it came with a cloak and broke through the waves.

Obviously, this change came from this sailing ship, which is why the people of "Tianting" used sailing ships instead of steam ironclads.

Of course Qi Xuansu would not order the flying boat to escape. He did not even let the flying boat take off, but just stayed there.

At this moment, a voice came from the sailboat: "I've met Deputy Palace Master Qi."

Qi Xuansu followed the sound and saw a figure appearing behind the bow statue. This person had a bald head, wore a Taoist robe, and a nondescript Confucian high crown. That was all. He was wearing wooden clogs and had a hanging on his chest. Wearing the holy emblem of the Holy Court, he held a shamanistic wooden staff in his hand. The staff was like a tangle of withered vines, and the top was like a withered hand holding a huge red crystal.

Qi Xuansu naturally recognized this person, it was Wu Guangbi, the leader of the "Tianting" avenue.

He also returned to Nanyang from the Central Plains.

Qi Xuansu still had his hands behind his back, with the "Pure Bodhi" hanging on his waist. His crane cloak was blown by the strong wind, and he did not respond to Wu Guangbi.

The ways are different and there is no conspiracy.

This old boy first competed with Qiniang for the "Xuan Jade" in Jinling Mansion, and later protected Li Changge again in Wuxing Mountain, and he was regarded as Qi Xuansu's enemy.

Wu Guangbi didn't take it seriously either. After all, he was the dignified deputy palace master and an angel with the mission of Golden Que.

In the borders of Nanyang, Qi Xuansu always had Master Lan Da as his backer. Master Lan Da even sent his "left hand" to escort Qi Xuansu. This kind of treatment was really extraordinary. Qi Xuansu relied on his status to despise him, a cult monster, and he really had nothing to do. Just because he fought with Qiniang does not mean that he can be equal to Qiniang. Qiniang can go in and out of Yujing and chat and laugh with the two princes of Taoism because Qiniang is backed by an earth master. He does not have the support of an earth master. .

Qiniang said she was Earth Master's sister, but in fact she was brought up by Earth Master. The relationship between her and Qiniang was not that of a daughter, but that she was better than a daughter.

In the final analysis, this is not a matter of realm cultivation, but Qi Xuansu represents the Taoist sect.

Wu Guangbi stood for a moment, and another figure appeared on the bow.

Qi Xuansu's eyes narrowed.

He didn't recognize this person, but he had an inexplicable intuition that he was someone he had known for a long time.

Across the wind and rain, this person did not shine like Wu Guangbi. Instead, he was hidden in Wu Guangbi's brilliance. His appearance could not be seen clearly. He could only vaguely see that he was a man, wearing a white robe underneath and a black gauze jacket outside. , holding a folding fan in his hand, he was not dressed like a Taoist priest, but rather like a prince or grandson.

At this moment, Qi Xuansu stood beside Ding Chou Lingguan, standing on the bow of the airship. Next to that man stood Wu Guangbi, standing on the bow of the "Tianting" ship, looking at each other from a distance through the obscure wind and rain.

Qi Xuansu suddenly knew who this person was, and said, "Is it brother Li Dao? I have admired his name for a long time, but unfortunately we have only met each other here and now."

Brother Li Dao is of course not Li Changge.

Not Li Wugou, Li Changsheng, Li Tiangang, Li Tianlan, Li Minghuang, and not even the National Master Li Changgeng.

It's Li Tianzhen.

It’s really been a long time.

When Qi Xuansu heard the name "Li Tianzhen" for the first time, Qi Xuansu himself couldn't remember clearly. He probably learned about it when he heard various rumors about Zhang Yuelu. Li Tianzhen played a supporting role in it. To set off Zhang Yuelu.

Li Tianzhen liked Zhang Yuelu, but Zhang Yuelu didn't like Li Tianzhen, so the two had a gambling battle. If Li Tianzhen won, Zhang Yuelu agreed to his request. If Li Tianzhen lost, he would leave Yujing and never come back.

As a result, Li Tianzhen never went to Yujing again.

At that time, some people said that both the Imperial Master and Master Qingwei liked Mr. Li very much, and it was a great honor for Zhang Yuelu to be able to smear his face and still be safe.

This time, that time.

Nowadays, naturally no one talks about Zhang Yuelu like this anymore, because Zhang Yuelu will soon become the youngest second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest. He is the leader of the "Yue" generation of the Zhang family who was personally recognized by the Tianshi and compromised by the Zhang family. It was Li Changge, the junior national master, not Li Tianzhen.

At that time, Zhang Yuelu was a bit uninterested. Not only was he not the deputy hall master, he was still serving in the Beichen Hall. Although he was extremely talented, he looked like an abandoned son who had been squeezed out by the Zhang family. Naturally, he could not be compared with the dignified young master of the Li family.

As for Qi Xuansu at that time, it was even worse. He was probably still wallowing in the quagmire of Jianghu with Qiniang, wondering if there would be a chance to return to Yujing in this life.

It was just a twist of fate. Who would have thought that a few years later, Qi Xuansu would become the fourth talent besides the so-called three talents of the Taoist sect. He would be the second deputy master of the Borneo Taoist Palace and a third-grade Youyi Taoist priest. He would truly have a bright future.

Li Tianzhen became the Li family's son, that is, people like Qiniang and Qi Muyu.

When Qi Xuansu first came into contact with Zhang Yuelu, he kept hearing the name Li Tianzhen mentioned. He once thought that Li Tianzhen would become his love rival. Although Zhang Yuelu didn't like this person and even disliked him very much, Li Tianzhen was willing to come out as a stumbling block. Can barely be considered a love rival.

But what Qi Xuansu didn't expect was that from the first time he and Zhang Yuelu returned to the Yunjin Mountain Dazhen Mansion, to when he met Li Changge, and then when he rose to prominence within the Taoist sect, even the National Master and Qingwei Zhenren had met them, and finally they arrived He bought Princess Xuanzhen's mansion in Taishangfang, Yujing, and started talking about marriage. Li Tianzhen didn't even show up, as if this person never existed.

How could there be such a love rival?

It seems that Mr. Li is not someone who is obsessed with men and women. He is willing to admit defeat and turn the page.

Qi Xuansu can't go to Qizhou or Sanxian Island to provoke.

So until today, it was the first time Qi Xuansu and Li Tianzhen met.

However, the two of them had known each other's existence for a long time, and they even had some fights in the air. For example, the second major case of Jinling Mansion was presided over by Li Tianzhen, who silenced them all the way, showing his ruthlessness. Qi Xuansu was the "chief culprit" who detonated the Zixian Mountain. He also led Zhang Yuelu to Jiangling Mansion, which kicked off the investigation of the second major Jiangnan case, so he was considered a "long-standing friend".

Li Tianzhen said: "I've heard about Qi Cixi's name for a long time, and I'm so lucky to see you today."

He didn't admit that he was Li Tianzhen, but he didn't deny it either. It was ambiguous.

Qi Xuansu just thought he acquiesced and asked, "I wonder why Brother Li Dao came here today?"

Li Tianzhen did not speak, but Wu Guangbi spoke again: "Qi Cixi is coming to Nanyang, so naturally he has to pay a visit."

Qi Xuansu's face was indifferent, and his voice was also cold: "Master Wu, you are from the Heavenly Court, and I am from the Taoist sect. It seems that I have nothing to talk about."

Wu Guangbi smiled and said: "Qi Cixi's words are wrong. I heard that Qi Cixi has contacts with some people from the Qingping Society, and is also closely related to Master Yao of Qibaofang. Since Qi Cixi can interact with these two families, so what? Can’t you interact with our ‘Tianting’?”

Qi Xuansu's expression was expressionless and he said calmly: "Is Master Wu slandering me? I don't know if this is meant by Master Qingwei? Or by the Imperial Master? Or by the Little Imperial Master and Brother Li?"

Now that you have exposed your shortcomings, Qi Xuansu is not polite, and the three bottoms are not clean. If you make excuses for Qiniang, then I will directly point out the relationship between the Li family and the "Tianting", and it is indecent to come and go.

People who can be a first-grade spiritual officer naturally have a very clear and clear understanding of the inside of the Taoist sect, so Lingguan Ding Chou did not express surprise or anger, as if he had not heard anything at all.

This is also the Taoism's requirement for spiritual officials. Spiritual officials do not have to have their own ideas, they only need to obey and execute orders.

Wu Guangbi smiled and naturally did not answer.

However, Qi Xuansu no longer refused to stay thousands of miles away, and both parties took a step back.

Wu Guangbi said leisurely: "In summer, there are many typhoons on the sea. The power of the sky is so terrifying that even the immortals are inferior to it. However, there is a legend that has been circulating on the sea of ​​Nanyang. The Dragon Palace on the sea left by the Queen of Heaven will be destroyed by the typhoon. In this world, every summer, there are always people going to sea to find opportunities left by the Queen. The Queen is kind, and even if the ship they are on is destroyed by a typhoon, their lives will not be in danger. The difference is that some people return empty-handed and pay compensation. After winning wives and defeating soldiers, some people can get gifts from the Queen of Heaven, or magical powers, rare treasures, or even inheritance from the Queen of Heaven, and then reach the sky in one step. "

Qi Xuansu looked indifferent: "Master Wu Dao and Brother Li Dao traveled thousands of miles from the Central Plains to the South China Sea just for this matter?"

"Why, Qi Cixi is not interested?" Li Tianzhen suddenly asked.

Qi Xuansu said: "There are thousands of Taoist methods. I can't even practice all the Taoist methods thoroughly, so why should I covet the inheritance of the Queen of Heaven?"
