Pawn Crossing the River

Qi Xuansu put away the "Gui Zang Lamp" and looked at Xiao Yin on the other side again.

Xiao Yin felt uncomfortable when Qi Xuansu looked at her, "What are you looking at me doing?"

Qi Xuansu asked, "Xiao Yin, what were you doing when you first saw Mr. Yin?"

Xiao Yin replied without thinking, "I didn't do anything."

Qi Xuansu was good at tempting, "What were you doing before you slid down from the Emperor Liu with the wicker in your arms?"

Xiao Yin blinked, "I don't remember."

Qi Xuansu said, "Think about it carefully. As soon as you remember it, I will reward you with a thousand Taiping coins."

At first, Xiao Yin had no idea about Tai Ping Money, but later he learned about the benefits of Tai Ping Money, and Xiao Yin became very interested in Tai Ping Money and could buy it.

It is said that this guy also has a small treasury where he saved the money she earned from Zhang Yuelu and Qiniang. In terms of financial strength, it is a little stronger than the penniless Qi Xuansu. But Xiao Yin has a bottom line, and he doesn't accept anyone's money.

Xiao Yin expressed great doubts about Qi Xuansu's financial strength and ability to pay: "Do you have one thousand Taiping money?"

Qi Xuansu had no choice but to ask for help, "Qiniang."

In serious matters, Qiniang usually would not embarrass Qi Xuansu and said, "Of course he didn't, but I did it for him."

There is no doubt about Qiniang's strength. Xiao Yin did not raise any objection this time, but recalled it seriously.

After a while, Xiao Yin said, "I didn't do anything. I opened my eyes and saw grandpa writing. Why do you ask this? How do you know that I slid down holding the wicker?"

Qi Xuansu said, "'Gui Zang Deng' told me. What happened before you opened your eyes?"

Xiao Yin said confidently, "I don't remember. Do you remember what happened when you were in your mother's womb?"

Qi Xuansu was speechless for a moment and had to say, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. You told Lao Zhang before that you dreamed of another self and that you were going to Nanyang to find treasures. Where is the treasure?"

Xiao Yin blinked and said, "I didn't find it."

Qi Xuansu asked again, "Where is your 'other me'?"

Xiao Yin shook his head and said, "I forgot."

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but said, "When I ask others to establish written evidence, you remember it better than anyone else. When I ask you to think about business, you can't remember it. How did you get such a brain?"

Having said this, Qi Xuansu wanted to reach out and pat Xiao Yin on the head.

Xiao Yin said aggrievedly, "The book said that Chunmeng Wuhen said it was a dream. You can still remember a little bit when you first wake up, but naturally you can't remember it as time goes by."

Qi Xuansu sighed and no longer expected to know anything from Xiao Yin. "Do you still know about 'Chun Meng Wuhen'? It seems that you have not studied in vain. When I go to Wanxiang Taoist Palace to perform my duties, you will come with me." ”

Xiao Yin immediately grimaced, "Can you not go? I don't want to go to school."

Qi Xuansu grimaced, "No, it's settled. With me here this time, no one will dare to bully you. If any teacher dares to bully you, I will tell him to get out."

In fact, since what happened to Qi Wangui, no one in Wanxiang Taoist Palace has dared to stroke Qi Xuansu's tiger beard. That's what Qi Xuansu said.

Xiao Yin thought for a while and thought that this was not bad. At least he could be the boss of Yin. He reluctantly agreed, "Okay then."

Qi Xuansu ended the conversation with Qiniang and contacted Zhang Yuelu again - he forgot who he was, but he couldn't forget Taizu.

In wealthy families, the three generations are called the old man, the master, and the young master respectively, which correspond to the old lady, the madam, and the young mistress. Some people like to call themselves "this seat", so the title "Taizuo" came into being.

Of course, it is not allowed to use this kind of address within the Taoist sect. It is taboo for the master, wife, and me to call him out when joking in private.

In the past, every time Qi Xuansu contacted Zhang Yuelu, she would always be dressed in formal attire, sitting behind a desk, flipping through files that she seemed to never finish.

However, Zhang Yuelu changed this time. He did not wear a formal suit with a crane cloak or a lotus crown. Instead, he was dressed in casual clothes, with his hair disheveled. He finally put down his official duties.

"The Lantern Festival is coming soon, why are you still so free?" Qi Xuansu asked.

Zhang Yuelu said, "There are so many assistants and deputy palace masters, so I don't need to arrange anything personally. Palace Master Yao plans to personally take care of it, enjoy it with the people, show the beauty of being close to the people, and grasp the general direction without me having to worry about it. Naturally, It’s time to relax.”

Qi Xuansu said, "That's good. The annual Shangyuan Festival celebration is a big project and the most troublesome."

Zhang Yuelu is holding a sutra urn in one hand and "Zixia" in the other hand. It seems that he has just been practicing his sword. "How is Tianzhong?"

Qi Xuansu did not tell Zhang Yuelu the whole truth, but only said that he would take Zhang Yuelu with him to experience it. This is still the case at this time. "His main task during this period is to familiarize himself with the environment and establish interpersonal relationships. He will wait until everything is familiar before trying again." Do something.”

Zhang Yuelu nodded, not forgetting to tell him, "Don't imitate Xie Jiaofeng."

Qi Xuansu smiled and said, "Don't worry, as a brother-in-law, can I still harm him?"

Zhang Yuelu didn't dwell on this issue anymore, and instead asked, "How are you doing over there?"

Qi Xuansu said, "The progress is slow. If it really doesn't work, I plan to go find Paititi."

Zhang Yuelu was surprised, "That forgotten country?"

Qi Xuansu said, "I learned from Wang Jiao

Crane got a map in his hand, and also got a key in St. York. It is said that there is the country of the gods. I speculate that it should be a cave that has not yet landed. "

Zhang Yuelu reacted quickly, "The cave has not yet landed? Wouldn't it be possible to avoid the catastrophe? In this way, the ancient gods can come in their true form and exert their full strength. If you rush in with your current level of cultivation, I'm afraid There will be some danger."

Qi Xuansu said, "I have considered this issue, but since Paititi is known as the 'Land of Forgotten', not everyone can go there. At least the apostles of the Holy Court should not know its location, similar to Lingshan Cave. As for Nan The ancient gods of the mainland will most likely be able to enter, but the ancient gods are divided, and the situation of the leader Kukulkan is unknown. I can use the battle between the two factions to ensure my safety. "

Zhang Yuelu didn't quite agree, "After all, it involves more than one god, so it's still a bit too risky."

Qi Xuansu said, "There is no other way. I can't keep doing it. I have to think of some ways to break the situation. And with Wuniang helping me and the warning effect of the 'Gui Cang Lamp', it shouldn't be a big problem."

Since Qi Xuansu said so, Zhang Yuelu said nothing more. After all, Qi Xuansu was on the front line and he understood the situation best. Zhang Yuelu was in Borneo and was not familiar with the situation, so he would not think that he was smarter than Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu turned to say, "Let's not talk about this anymore. How are you doing lately?"

"Everything is fine with me." Zhang Yuelu said, "Although I am very reluctant, I feel relieved after letting go of those bad things. I just don't think about those things now and concentrate on improving my cultivation. Sometimes Thinking about it, I really envy you. You don’t have to spend too much time to improve your own realm and can focus all your energy on official matters.”

Qi Xuansu said, "I am taking a shortcut. I guess Zhengyiyi must have some tricks. For example, the Taiyin True Lord inheritance that Zhang Wuhen stole back then is one of them, but the Heavenly Master will definitely not let you use it. No. The Heavenly Master is reluctant to give up, but the enamelled paint is not carved, the white jade is not carved, and the orbs are not decorated. Why? It is not appropriate to use such shortcuts on people with extraordinary talents. Your great waste. Only those of us who are useless need to use external forces to carefully carve it out."

Zhang Yuelu smiled and said, "You are really good at talking. I'm actually much more balanced."

Qi Xuansu said deliberately, "You mean, you were very unbalanced before?"

Zhang Yuelu said calmly, "It can't be said to be unbalanced. It should be said that I'm a little disappointed. When we first met, I was already at the stage of returning to true nature, and I was only one step away from being a heavenly being. As for you, you are still far away from the stage of returning to true nature. Yuan, it was you who was chasing me at that time. To put it bluntly, your qualifications were so poor. I was a banished immortal after all. At that time, I

I'm just worried, what should I do if the gap between the two of us is getting bigger and bigger? "

"Later I found out that I was overly worried. What I should be thinking about is how to keep you from being far away, rather than how you chase me. I watched you with my own eyes, catching up with me step by step, and then surpassing me step by step. Now it's me chasing you. Fortunately, I can still keep up with you and still have hope of catching up. "

"Thinking about the past and looking at now, I can't help but feel a little disappointed."

After hearing this, Qi Xuansu couldn't help but laugh and said, "When I saw you back then, you were in despair. A noble daughter of the Zhang family, from a high family background; the youngest fourth-grade wine-sacrifice Taoist priest and deputy hall master, with a high status; one step away from heaven and man." , promising longevity, high qualifications; in four words, I have a bright future. On the other hand, I didn’t know Qiniang’s identity at that time, so it didn’t matter what I wanted. Not to mention her family background, I didn’t have any family members. I was just a small seventh-grade Taoist priest. , with the qualifications of a Sanren, it is hard to say whether you can become a heavenly being in this life. Under normal circumstances, it would be good to be a fourth-level wine-sacrifice Taoist priest when you retire to the mountains. To be honest, when I was with you at first, I felt a little inferior. of."

Zhang Yuelu joked, "I didn't realize that you still have low self-esteem."

Qi Xuansu gestured with his finger, "Just a little, not much. I am always a contradictory person. I have low self-esteem. On the other hand, I also have some ambition, or it can be said to be wishful thinking. People often say that toads want to eat swan meat. I really do. I just want to taste what a swan feels like.”

Zhang Yuelu was not angry and said in a long tone, "Oh, you admit that you are a toad?"

How could Qi Xuansu follow Zhang Yuelu's words and immediately change the subject, "I didn't admit it. I am the only destined protagonist. The Taoist sect is no better than a local chicken and a dog. The surname is Zhang, let the uncle laugh."

"Fuck you." Zhang Yuelu spat at him, "I think you have read too much of the 'Xirui Sutra'."

Qi Xuansu said, "This is called unconventional. In fact, when you are frustrated, others will already look down on you. You can no longer look down on yourself. So when the toad says it, I will never recognize it."

Zhang Yuelu and Qi Xuansu have been together for a long time, and he was a little led astray. He mocked, "You are deceiving yourself."

Qi Xuansu said, "Let's put the facts and be reasonable. Back then, I was someone who carried immortal objects with me. Did you have any immortal objects at that time? You only had half-immortal objects."

Zhang Yuelu couldn't help but ask, "What magical object did you bring?"

Qi Xuansu said of course, "The 'Heart of the Immortal Stone' is a genuine fairy."

Zhang Yuelu was truly speechless for a moment.

Qi Xuansu said, "Based on this, I can't be a toad, I should be... a black swan."

Zhang Yuelu couldn't help laughing and said, "You are so shameless."
