Pawn Crossing the River

Qi Xuansu knew that the Heavenly Master had already helped Tianda greatly, but he still asked a little greedily: "Why is this just one chance?"

Zhang Yuelu rolled his eyes at him: "Just be content. This kind of fairy is like the 'Five Innate Masters', and there are intervals between each use. The 'Guizang Lamp' is used once every sixty years, and the 'Three Treasures of Good Luck' seems to be used every hundred years." Used once."

Qi Xuansu was surprised again: "You can only use it once every sixty years. This is really a huge favor."

Then Qi Xuansu hesitated for a moment and asked softly: "The Heavenly Master is helping me like this. Isn't it just for your sake? What's the price?"

Zhang Yuelu did not avoid this point and sighed: "Then only the Heavenly Master knows."

Qi Xuansu also sighed.

No matter what the conditions were, Qi Xuansu was unable to resist when the Heavenly Master wanted to take away the reward he deserved.

Only three divisions can fight against three divisions.

When the Earth Master wants to collect the debt, Qi Xuansu can only turn to the Heavenly Master, but when the Heavenly Master collects the debt, who can he turn to? He can't be a national master.

Then let the Earth Master deal with the National Master.

This becomes a trick of repaying debts with debts. If he is really so capable and can manipulate the three masters at the palm of his hand, then he doesn't have to explore the caves of Lingshan and just replace the three deputy masters. Isn't it better? Let Zhang Yuelu be the Heavenly Master and Qiniang be the Earth Master.

But having come this far, there was no turning back when he fired his bow. Qi Xuansu no longer hesitated and reached out to hold the "Guizang Lamp".

For a moment, Qi Xuansu felt countless lights and shadows passing before his eyes, everything became hazy, and he was in a trance for a moment.

Zhang Yuelu's voice seemed to come from a very far away place, and seemed to slow down several times, vague and slow: "You... must... remember... remember, the... extreme meaning of 'return... hide... the lamp'" ...Limited to...one...month..."

Qi Xuansu suddenly came back to his senses.

Everything is back to normal again.

Zhang Yuelu still spoke at a normal speed: "This month can be turned into 300 days, which is almost a year, which is enough for you to explore the Lingshan cave."

Qi Xuansu was speechless and said: "What a powerful fairy, worthy of being the first of the 'Three Lanterns'."

Then Qi Xuansu said again: "In one month, I announced to the outside world that I would be in seclusion. It shouldn't be a big problem. After all, there are still the master and the master above. As long as there is no second Chen Shuhua, I won't be forced to go out." It can’t be shut down.”

Zhang Yuelu nodded and said: "You just need to know the specific time yourself. Also, be sure to pay attention to safety and don't take risks. Big things will happen in the future. If it's gone now, then there's no point talking about the future."

Qi Xuansu responded while putting the "Gui Zang Lamp" into the special sumeru object given by Master Jiang Dazhen, and then changed the topic: "How many days do you plan to stay when you come here this time?"

Zhang Yuelu said: "I can't stay more than one day. I can stay for one night at most, and then I have to rush back to Lingnan tomorrow."

Qi Xuansu didn't speak, just looked at Zhang Yuelu to express his dissatisfaction.

Zhang Yuelu could only soften his tone: "There is no way, there are too many things. Recently, you have negotiated several big business deals, asking us to help renovate ironclad ships. Some people saw the profit, so they made a fuss about it. Not only the big business This is a critical moment, and I, the second deputy palace master in charge of law, cannot get away from it. If it weren't for the "Gui Cang Lantern" being too important, I would have to do it myself. I’ll hand it over to you, and I’ll make it clear to you that I want Lao Lin to deliver it to you.”

Qi Xuansu knew that Zhang Yuelu was telling the truth. In front of Zhang Yuelu, he no longer concealed his emotions and sighed with disappointment: "Well, business matters come before private matters."

Zhang Yuelu suggested: "The moonlight tonight is pretty good, let's go for a walk?"

Qi Xuansu thought for a while: "That's fine, but there are refugees from Xibo Suazhou outside. Let's go around from the Nanting Protector's Mansion."

Zhang Yuelu had no objection.

The two left Tianfu Palace without Xiao Yin - this was their alone time.

Xiao Yin was afraid that Zhang Yuelu would remember the inspection, so naturally he would not hang around in front of the two of them, and had already followed Xie Jiaofeng to the dinner party. After all, he is a serious third-grade Youyi Taoist priest, and he is qualified to attend a dinner party. To put it bluntly, you should feel honored to have Mr. Xiao Yin attend the dinner party - no matter whether others think so, Xiao Yin thinks so anyway. .

Today's Xiao Yin is not quite like Qi Xuansu or Zhang Yuelu, but a bit like Qiniang. She likes Taiping money. She usually wears the sunglasses Qiniang gave her and the writing brush given by Mr. Yin on her waist. Walking sideways, he looks like the tyrant of Tian Hock Palace.

Back to Qi Xuansu, after the two left Tianfu Palace, they went all the way to the seaside.

The sea at night had a unique charm. The two of them walked side by side on the white beach, with a bright moon above their heads and the sound of waves in their ears.

The moonlight shines on the sea, and the waves are sparkling. Countless seawater is rippling, coming and going, and the seawater hits the rocks and breaks into white flowers.

The salty and wet sea breeze blew Zhang Yuelu's loose hair onto Qi Xuansu's face.

Qi Xuansu didn't fiddle with it and said, "Time is like running water. In ten years, I will be able to grow a beard and call myself an old man."

Zhang Yuelu smiled and said: "Seventy years are rare in life. That is the rule of ordinary people. If you are in a Taoist sect, you cannot call yourself me old man until you are at least sixty years old."

Qi Xuansu said: "If this were an ordinary family, the two of us should have gotten married long ago. Not to mention children, we will soon have grandchildren."

Zhang Yuelu was not Qin Su, so of course he would not be shy. He said openly, "Then you will be your biological child at the age of fourteen. If I remember correctly, you were still studying in the Wanxiang Taoist Palace when you were fourteen, right?"

Qi Xuansu joked: "That is, when I was fourteen years old, I was broke. When you were fourteen years old, you were already worshiping Master Cihang as your teacher. This is really heaven and earth. I am a toad wanting to eat swan meat."

"I didn't mean that." Zhang Yuelu was afraid that Qi Xuansu was holding back something bad, so he distanced himself first.

Qi Xuansu said: "I'm not trying to criticize you, I just want to say that being late has its advantages. If it hadn't been a little late, I wouldn't have met you."

Zhang Yuelu didn't say anything, and stretched out his hand to brush his hair that was messed up by the sea breeze.

The two enjoyed rare time together.

The two walked silently, holding hands, leaving a string of footprints on the beach.

Early the next morning, Qi Xuansu came to see Zhang Yuelu again.

The relationship between the two is already well known to everyone, and the relationship between the two is somewhat similar to that of an old married couple, so no one finds it strange, and no one has any objections.

As Qi Xuansu said, if the two were not separated, they would have gotten married long ago.

When Qi Xuansu entered Zhang Yuelu's bedroom, Zhang Yuelu was sitting in front of the dressing table combing his hair - this is where the Xie Jiao Summit happened. As early as when Zhang Yuelu came to Tianfu Palace for the first time, he had specially prepared a place for Zhang Yuelu. The living room has never been revoked. If Zhang Yuelu is not here, it will be closed and will only be cleaned on time.

Zhang Yuelu's expression was natural. He saw Qi Xuansu behind him through the mirror. He still unhurriedly smoothed his hair, then tied it up, and finally put on the lotus crown.

Qi Xuansu did not speak, but quietly watched Zhang Yuelu's movements and stared at her face through the mirror.

After Zhang Yuelu tidied up his instruments, he said: "I have asked Ke Qingqing to prepare the flying boat and will leave soon."

"So urgent? You can leave in the afternoon." Qi Xuansu put his hands on Zhang Yuelu's shoulders and leaned forward slightly, as if resting his chin on Zhang Yuelu's head.

"The huge Taoist government can function as usual without everyone. But this case cannot be done. There is a lot of resistance from the top officials of the Taoist government. If I don't push forward forcefully, it will easily end. They have never had the opportunity to make small moves. I left It's their opportunity. If I stay one more day, there will be more variables." Zhang Yuelu did not reject Qi Xuansu's intimate move.

Qi Xuansu sighed and said, "Okay, you are always right."

Zhang Yuelu changed the topic and finally remembered Xiao Yin's existence: "By the way, I haven't checked Xiao Yin's schoolwork yet. Has she studied hard recently? If she doesn't study, she can't understand. If she doesn't understand, she will always be a child."

Qi Xuansu said: "Actually, it's not bad to be a child all the time. No one is young anymore. What would it be like if we were still teenagers?"

Zhang Yuelu smiled at the mirror: "Will we drink together? Take classes together and study together?"

Qi Xuansu smiled and said: "We will also play Xuansheng cards together."

Zhang Yuelu concluded: "Play Xuan Sheng cards while drinking."

Qi Xuansu said: "This is not like a good boy."

"You don't know what our two reputations are like in the Taoist sect, right? We have killed so many people and cured so many people. Even with so many people, we still want to be good children? It will be a matter of the next life." Zhang Yuelu laughed again. got up.

In this short one-night reunion, Zhang Yuelu laughed more than he had in the past year.

Of course, even without the hypocritical and polite smile, Qi Xuansu did the same.

"It's fantasy time now." Qi Xuansu spoke in a Western accent, "Since it's fantasy, it's natural to be bold and outrageous."

Zhang Yuelu was about to get up.

Qi Xuansu retracted his hands and stood up: "Since you want to leave, then I will see you off."

The two walked out of the room. Today was a rare good day. The sun seemed to shine through the leaves. There was a fresh smell everywhere, which made people dissipate the gloom in their hearts. If the two of them are not too busy, this kind of weather is very suitable for the two of them to go out and have fun together. They don't have to worry about the destination. Wherever they go, it matters.

It's a pity that it doesn't belong to them.

Soon, the two came to the ramp of the flying boat.

Qi Xuansu seemed to want to learn Western etiquette to the end today and took the initiative to open his hands: "Do you want to practice Western etiquette?"

Zhang Yuelu did not refuse, he also opened his hands and gave Qi Xuansu a deep hug.

She whispered in Qi Xuansu's ear: "Promise me that you will come back from Lingshan Cave in peace. I'm waiting to share your secret."

Qi Xuansu responded with two words: "Definitely."
