Pawn Crossing the River

Even though becoming a Taoist couple is not a marriage, you still need to report to your parents or master.

The masters of Donghua Zhenren and Cihang Zhenren are no longer alive. They all ascended to heaven and passed away earlier than the three masters. Not everyone ascends to heaven at the age of 100. The three masters have not ascended to heaven yet. It can be said that they cannot let go of the power in their hands, or that they have not arranged their affairs after death and cannot just leave.

However, even though the master is gone, the parents are still there, that is, the parents.

Although Donghua Zhenren and Cihang Zhenren are both over 60 years old, their parents are still alive. People in the Taoist sect generally have children later and will not rush to get married and have children in their teens. The earliest is after the age of 20, and some are after the age of 30. Therefore, both parents are over 90 years old, but they are no longer in charge of the affairs. Not only do they not care about the affairs of the Taoist sect, but they also don’t care about the affairs of the family at all. They are completely enjoying their old age.

No matter how fierce the struggle in the Taoist sect is, it basically does not harm the family. Even if Donghua Zhenren loses to Qingwei Zhenren, whether Donghua Zhenren is liquidated or not, his parents will not be affected.

Donghua Zhenren arranged Qi Xuansu to take his father to Yujing on his behalf.

Qi Xuansu was a little surprised, because the Pei family was not without people, not to mention the daughter Pei Shenfu, there are also people like Pei Xiaolou and Pei Xiaoyun, but Donghua Zhenren asked him to go.

Qi Xuansu thought about it carefully, probably because of Pei Shenfu, the eldest daughter of the Pei family is likely to not let others take her father away, embarrassing Donghua Zhenren, and it would be useless if Pei Xiaolou and Pei Xiaoyun were replaced.

Donghua Zhenren was busy and could not go in person, and other people were suspected of being unjust, so Qi Xuansu had to go.

Pei Shenfu would probably make a big fuss after knowing it.

Qi Xuansu didn't care and let her make a fuss.

It is worth mentioning that the Donghua lineage used to be neighbors with the Qingwei lineage.

At the earliest time, the Donghua lineage took root in Taiqing Mountain, which is the ancestral home of Donghua.

Taiqing Mountain stretches from Lanling Prefecture and Langya Prefecture in Qizhou to the coast of the East China Sea. The main locations are divided into three parts, namely Danxia Peak in Lanling Prefecture, Juxian Peak in Langya Prefecture, and Jin'ao Peak by the sea.

Among them, Juxian Peak is the location of the ancestral temple of the Donghua lineage, but it is not the core. It is similar to the ancestral home of many wealthy families. Although it is of extraordinary significance, it is not lived here. The core of the Donghua lineage has gradually moved to Jin'ao Peak by the sea, facing Penglai Island of the Qingwei lineage across the sea. This also created a friendly neighbor relationship between the Donghua lineage and the Qingwei lineage.

Later, Xuansheng integrated Taoism. At that time, Kunlun Yujing had not yet appeared in the world, so Difei Mountain was selected as the deputy capital of Taoism.

Difei Mountain, also known as Zhongnan Mountain, Taiyi Mountain, and Nanshan, is located in Qinzhou, south of Xijing.

The beginning of Difei Mountain becoming a famous Taoist mountain is generally traced back to the time when Taishang Daozu entered the pass to preach scriptures and set up teachings.

There is Louguan Terrace in the west section. According to legend, Wenshi Daojun first built a tower made of grass here to observe the stars and qi, so it was named Caolouguan, and later shortened to Louguan. Taishang Daozu built a platform in the south of Louguan to teach Wenshi Daojun scriptures, so the platform was called "Shuojingtai". Because it is located in Louguan, it is also called Louguan Terrace. "Louguan Origin Biography" says "this palace and temple originated from" and "this is where the great religion flourished".

After Louguan, Emperor Wu built Taiyi Palace at the entrance of Daheyu in Zhongnan Mountain to worship Taiyi Mountain God because he heard the Taiyi God tell him at night. When the Li Dynasty was established, Taishang Daozu was revered as Taishang Xuanyuan Emperor. The royal family Li claimed to be the descendants of Taishang Daozu. Taoism was designated before Confucianism and Buddhism. Tongdao Temple, Xianyou Temple and Jintai Temple were built in Zhongnan Mountain.

Since then, there have been immortals such as Mr. Xiyi, Master Chunyang, Master Haichan, Master Hongmeng, etc. living in Zhongnan Mountain to practice Taoism. Later, Master Chongyang and his disciples founded and promoted Quanzhen Taoism, and established dozens of temples such as Wanshou Chongyang Palace, Qingliang Mountain, Wangxian Palace, Danyang Temple, Changchun Temple, Taiyi Temple, Sihao Temple, Yuzhen Temple, Jinxian Temple, Kaiyuan Temple, Lingquan Temple, Bailu Temple, Taiyuan Temple, Qili Temple, Huayang Palace, Taiping Temple, etc.

When Difei Mountain was at its peak, it was known as the ancestral home of Quanzhen, and was as famous as Yunjin Mountain, where the ancestral home of Zhengyi was located, and second only to Kunlun Mountain, which was known as the ancestral home of Taoism.

However, when the Golden Horde army marched south, Xijing fell and the Jin Dynasty fell. Difei Mountain, which was not far from Xijing, could not escape the war. In addition, the rise of Guge Zaodao took the opportunity to attack Difei Mountain, and the ancestral home of Quanzhen was destroyed. Quanzhen Taoism also declined from prosperity, and no longer had the prosperity of the past.

When Emperor Taizu of the Great Wei expelled the Golden Horde, Difei Mountain had never recovered its vitality and was desolate.

It was not until Zhang Zu, the 30th generation of the Zhengyi sect, that he built a hut in Difei Mountain to practice Taoism in his later years. He was grateful for the atmosphere of Nanshan in those days, so after the unification of Taoism, he mobilized manpower to repair many palaces and temples in Difei Mountain.

Then Xuansheng designated Difei Mountain as the deputy capital of Taoism, and began to gather the power of Taoism to rebuild Wanshou Chongyang Palace, and finally had the atmosphere of today. During this process, Taiping Dao responded to Xuansheng's call and made great efforts. At that time, Difei Mountain was positioned as a deputy capital, so Taiping Dao had a piece of land in Difei Mountain that belonged to it completely for a long time.

Later, Yujing was established, and all moved to Yujing. Difei Mountain resumed the status of the ancestral home of Quanzhen Dao. At that time, Quanzhen Dao and Taiping Dao reached an agreement. Taiping Dao handed over their land in Difei Mountain to Quanzhen Dao Donghua lineage, and Donghua lineage gave Taiqing Mountain to Taiping Dao, retaining only Juxian Peak.

This explains why the Lanling Pei family has been in charge of the Donghua lineage for a long time, because both originated from Lanling Prefecture.

This also led to a very interesting thing. Qingwei Zhenren and Donghua Zhenren were actually from the same hometown.

Qingwei Zhenren's ancestral home was Beihai Prefecture, Qizhou, and Donghua Zhenren's ancestral home was Lanling Prefecture, Qizhou.

Many years later, the two met in Yujing, which was like fellow villagers meeting each other. As for whether they were tearful, it was hard to say.

So it was not surprising that Pei Shenfu and Li Tianqing had intersections. They were also from the same hometown.

The old man of the Pei family still had old-fashioned ideas and wanted to return to his roots, so the old man was neither in Yujing nor in Difei Mountain, but in the Pei family's ancestral home in Lanling Prefecture, Qizhou.

The Li family was a proud family, so they would not do anything to the old man of the Pei family. During the New Year and festivals, the head of the Qizhou Daofu would visit him in person.

It can even be said that even if Qingwei Zhenren wins and executes Donghua Zhenren, the old man will be safe and sound. Qingwei Zhenren will personally go to the Pei family to express condolences, send mourning couplets, explain the difficulties of having to deal with Donghua Zhenren, and arrange Donghua Zhenren's funeral affairs to appease Donghua's faction.

So Donghua Zhenren has nothing to worry about, and has always let his father live in his hometown.

Now Qi Xuansu's task is to pick up the old man of the Pei family and go to Yujing.

In other words, go to Lanling Mansion in Qizhou.

Qi Xuansu doesn't think that Taiping Dao will attack him.

Even if he takes a step back, Qi Xuansu still has a chance to use "Cangtian".

There is no need to say how powerful "Cangtian" is. It can make Monk Xiao surrender, make Peacock King flee, and more than ten thousand Galans will be destroyed in one day.

If they really start fighting, unless the national teacher takes action personally, it is hard to say who will win and who will lose.

In short, Qi Xuansu is still quite confident.

On the other hand, Zhang Yuelu was sent to Jinling Mansion in Jiangzhou by Cihang Zhenren.

Cihang Zhenren is Su Yuanzai's cousin, so Cihang Zhenren's parents are not Su Yuanzai's parents. Cihang Zhenren has no offspring, and the master and apprentice are like father and son, so Zhang Yuelu was sent there.

For Zhang Yuelu, Jinling Mansion is where she has fought, and she has fought more than once, and almost fought Jinling Mansion three times. Now the head of Jiangnan Dao Mansion is Zhang Jucheng, so it is easier for her.

Qi Xuansu thought again and again, considering the possibility of using "Cangtian", so Xiao Yin must be brought, and considering some other issues, He Luoshen must also be brought. If the divine power is insufficient, ask Donghua Zhenren for it. Donghua Zhenren is also very straightforward. He wrote a note and asked him to find Ning Lingge in the ancestral hall to solve it.

Qi Xuansu found his old boss Ning Lingge and handed him the note. Then Ning Lingge reported to the Heavenly Master. After getting the Heavenly Master's consent, he gave Qi Xuansu 100,000 divine powers.

This is also reasonable. With the withdrawal of Cihang Zhenren, Zhengyi Dao has made it clear that it fully supports Donghua Zhenren in the election for the Grand Master. This face must be given. Moreover, Qi Xuansu is the grandson-in-law of the Heavenly Master, not an outsider, so there is no reason for him to disagree.

100,000 ke of divine power.

Wu Luo and Siming Zhenjun don’t know how many times they have to preach to accumulate so much divine power. Donghua Zhenren can get it done with a note and a call from the Heavenly Master.

What is power? This is power.

No wonder they are competing for the Grand Master.

They are all immortals, some of whom work hard, and some of whom change the world. The gap between them is greater than the gap between people.
