Pawn Crossing the River

, cross the river pawn

Qi Xuansu, who was running wildly, suddenly noticed that the rain had stopped. Not only had the rain stopped, but the strong wind, thunder, and fog also disappeared one after another. Finally, the heavy black clouds covering the sky began to dissipate, revealing the blue sky behind it.

The clouds clear and the fog clears.

Qi Xuansu stopped and looked up.

It was as if nothing had happened, the heavy pressure and the glaring urgency on his back disappeared, making Qi Xuansu breathe a sigh of relief.

Qi Xuansu hesitated a little, whether to look back and see what happened. Although fights between gods are dangerous, sometimes they are also opportunities. Traveling in the rivers and lakes is about finding wealth and wealth in danger. If you can earn it through water and fire, your life will be worthwhile.

If it was Qi Xuansu before, he might have turned around, but now Qi Xuansu is different. He has already obtained a blood pill, which may allow him to enter the holy realm of Sanren, which is the stage of returning to the true state. There seems to be no need to continue taking risks.

What's more important is that Qi Xuansu is no longer carefree. With a woman in his heart, he has to be three minutes slower to draw a sword, let alone risking his life like this? Or to put it another way, heroes are short-tempered and children love each other long. Beauty Township is the Tomb of Heroes.

As for Qiniang, Qi Xuansu did not set up a memorial arch for himself. Indeed, he sometimes ignored it. Anyway, when he was weighing the pros and cons, the first thing he thought of was his own life, and the second thing he thought of was Zhang Yuelu, who deserved to be killed by Qiniang. It is said that "when you have a wife, you forget your mother."

Qi Xuansu hesitated again and again, but finally turned around and walked in the direction of Cuowenbu.

When Qi Xuansu came to the place where he "hit the wall" again, he found that the invisible wall blocking his way had disappeared, and the road was smooth.

Qi Xuansu came to the shore of Cuowenbu and looked over.

There had been heavy rain on the lake, clouds and fog, and huge waves, so naturally nothing could be seen. But it was already calm at this time, not to mention the heavy rain and waves, there was not even the slightest bit of water mist.

Qi Xuansu saw the "Yinglong" floating in the distance at a glance. At this time, Yinglong was covered with scars. Although it was not broken into two parts and there were no obvious gaps, the entire hull was like a shaky dilapidated house. The original compact structure is showing a tendency to fall apart. Many wreckage fragments can even be seen on the surrounding lake, and these wreckage are also well preserved, which makes people think of the allusion of "the cook dings the cow", as if these fragments are like fallen leaves. It usually falls off rather than being forcibly knocked off by external force.

This is indeed the case. One of the characteristics of Wu Luo's divine power is that it only hurts living things but not dead things. Therefore, after Wu Luo's divine power fell on "Ying Long", the Taoist disciples in the ship suffered heavy casualties, but the ship itself was Safe and sound.

The reason why "Yinglong" became what it is now is because "Yinglong"'s uninterrupted three consecutive attacks exceeded its own limits, causing the ship's hull to be unable to withstand it. The internal formations and talismans collapsed one after another, and then it began to collapse. untie. But even so, it still failed to hurt Wu Luo and let her escape unscathed.

It can even be said that if the woman in white had not arrived in time, "Yinglong" would have crashed in Cuowenbu and sunk directly to the bottom of the lake, instead of barely floating on the lake like it is now.

The woman in white was standing on the bow of the ship. The bone staff that was nailed to Shangguan Jing had been pulled out by her. However, the moment the bone staff was separated from the body, it turned into countless red streams of light, which came from the ancient immortal Wu Luo. With his divine power, he even wanted to bite back the person who pulled out the bone staff, but was easily dismissed by the woman in white.

Although the woman in white may not be Wu Luo's opponent, she is still capable of fighting against Wu Luo. These small tricks will naturally not be able to defeat him.

After a long time, the Taoist disciples who were still alive came to the deck one after another. After seeing the woman in white, they all saluted respectfully and called her "Master Cihang".

The woman in white is the second most powerful figure in the Zhengtai after the Heavenly Master, and is also Zhang Yuelu's mentor. Zhang Yuelu's "Cihang Pudu Sword Canon" was taught by Cihang.

In this competition for candidates for the seventh generation of Grand Master, the three deputy masters of Heavenly Master, Earth Master, and National Master, Da Zhenren, and the other Pingzhang Da Zhenren have all been eliminated due to age and other factors. They are the most promising to become the seventh generation of Grand Master. The three masters who teach are Qingwei, Donghua and Cihang.

If the three deputy head masters, Dazhenren, are the regents who take turns in power, then Zhenren Cihang is one of the candidates for the crown prince of the Taoist sect.

Looking at the candidates for the three great leaders, their paths are different. For example, Qingwei Zhenren and Donghua Zhenren are two complete extremes. Qingwei Zhenren has been in the local area for a long time and has served as the head of the local Taoist government for many years, including Liaodong Daofu, Luzhou Daofu, Qizhou Daofu, etc. . Donghua Zhenren has been in Yujing for a long time and has been the headmaster of Jiutang for many years, including Beichen Hall, Tianji Hall, and Ancestral Hall. Now he is the headmaster of Ziwei Hall, which can be said to be thirty years old. Ranked first among the six Zhenzhi masters.

Cihang Zhenren is a compromise, having both. In his early years, he worked deeply in Jiangnan Daofu. Later, he was transferred to Yujing and served as the director of Huashengtang.

The real person in the hall and the real person in charge of the Duzhi hall.

According to the unwritten rules of the Taoist sect, Yujing Jiutang is higher than the local Taoist government, so the ranking of the three should be Master Donghua at the top, Master Cihang second, and Master Qingwei at the bottom. But the actual situation cannot be calculated like this. Taiping Dao is the most powerful, but Qingwei Zhenren, who is at the bottom, has the highest voice. There is even talk of a third great leader named Li.

Of course, the other two people also had their own opinions. If Master Donghua wins the position of Grand Master, then Quanzhen Taoism will have two Master Masters in a row, becoming the first among the three Taoists to achieve such an achievement. If Master Cihang wins the position of Grand Master, she will be the first female Grand Master after the Tao Sect ZTE. Especially for Master Cihang, many female crowns, even if they are not disciples of Zhengdao, hope that Master Cihang can become the great master and break the situation where the leader of the Taoist sect has always been firmly controlled by men.

However, this idea has also attracted the rejection of many conservative people. Not to mention other things, you must know that the "Madam of the Headmaster" in the Taoist sect is not only a title, but also a position. He teaches how to deal with large and small matters and has great power. This is also a tradition left over from the Xuansheng era. If Cihang really becomes the Grand Master, what will happen to the position of the Master's wife? Could it be changed to the headmaster's son-in-law?

All in all, the three candidates each have their own advantages. It depends on Jin Que's recommendation. If the stalemate is still like the previous few times, no one can guarantee that the scope of the recommendation will be expanded or that it will be used by force. things. Although Quanzhen Taoism and Zhengyi Taoism now have a vague tendency to unite to fight Taiping Taoism, it is almost impossible for the two families to reach an agreement on the choice of the Grand Master due to their own interests, so the result is still confusing.

But even so, one thing is for sure. These three people have such high status that even if they fail to compete for the Grand Master, they can still become the Great Master Pingzhang or the Deputy Master Master, and are truly powerful figures in the Taoist sect.

After Master Cihang signaled everyone to abstain from courtesy, he said softly: "Master Shangguan has died in the battle. Keep his body until someone comes from Yujing."

The word "death in battle" undoubtedly confirmed Shangguan Jing's death. The rest of the people understood this and showed sadness on their faces. Some people knelt down in front of Shangguan Jing's body and burst into tears. They didn't know whether they were crying for their own narrow escape or for crying. The boss died young.

Just as Master Cihang was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly felt something in his heart and turned to look towards the west shore of the lake.

Then she took a step forward, creating a circle of lotus-shaped ripples, and disappeared.
