Pawn Crossing the River

Is Bai Yingqiong afraid of Uncle Feng?

Of course not.

Regardless of status or realm, Bai Yingqiong is not afraid of Feng Bo. Not only is she not afraid, but she is also confident. After all, this is her territory. It doesn’t take much effort to put Uncle Feng to death, and she doesn’t even need to take action herself. The identity of the chief deputy head of Jiangnan Dao Palace is not a decoration, not to mention that she is Cihang. A line of real powerful figures.

Although in name, Zhang Yuelu is the second-largest person in Cihang's lineage after Cihang, in fact, in terms of tree size and deep roots, Bai Yingqiong is far superior to Zhang Yuelu, who has just been confirmed as the successor of Cihang. He is the real number two. Especially when Cihang is far away in Yujing, she can call upon almost half of the forces of Cihang's lineage, not to mention Feng Bo alone, even if Fengling and Lei are included, she doesn't think much of it.

But now she has to patiently talk to a member of a secret society who despises her, just because she is afraid of him.

"You broke the rules." Bai Yingqiong took a deep breath and regained her composure.

To be honest, she was careless. Because there has always been an unspeakable tacit understanding in the internal fights within the Taoist sect, such as fighting without breaking up, such as not harming the family, etc. It is precisely based on these tacit understandings, and Bai Yingqiong has always adhered to a relatively neutral attitude, that she did not think that anyone would attack her daughter Bai Xiaojin, and did not strengthen the protection of her daughter. As a result, she was taken advantage of by these people.

Uncle Feng said unhurriedly: "What is the result of breaking the rules? It is just that Master Bai will turn to Master Zhang. But what is the result of us abiding by the rules? Master Bai will still turn to Master Zhang. Since no matter what we do If you do, Master Bai will turn to Master Zhang, so do we still need to abide by the rules?"

Bai Yingqiong sneered: "The one who started the figurines has no descendants?"

Uncle Feng hid the needle in his hair and said: "What Master Bai said is absolutely true, but... we are just following orders and we hope Master Bai will forgive us. Moreover, we are not Taoist people, we are just people from the world, alone, without worries, even if we are in vain Real people don’t understand and are not afraid of anything.”

Bai Yingqiong was silent for a moment and said: "Tell me, come up with the conditions for your release. If I can agree, I will of course agree. But if you go too far, please tell your master that it is nothing more than one life for another." ”

"Master Bai is exaggerating." Uncle Feng said with a smile, "I told you, we are just inviting Miss Bai to be a guest for a few days, there is no talk of life or death."

Bai Yingqiong didn't believe it, she just remained silent.

Uncle Feng continued: "We understand Master Bai's love for his daughter. But having said that, Master Bai is now in his prime, and he has already planned to molest his grandson. Don't you think it's a pity?"

Bai Yingqiong's eyes narrowed: "What do you want to say?"

Feng Bo said: "Master Bai is a smart man, don't you really understand?"

"Whether I understand or not is my business, I want you to tell me now." Bai Yingqiong's tone was a bit cold.

Uncle Feng was silent for a moment, then opened the lid of the tea bowl next to him with his left hand, then stretched out the middle finger of his right hand to dip it in the tea, and then wrote the four words "Shen Zhi Zhenren" on the desk.

Bai Yingqiong's expression changed immediately.

Feng Bo then spoke: "Zhenzhi Zhenren and Zhenzhen are both second-grade Taiyi Taoist priests, but the difference is huge. The thirty-six Zhenzhi Zhenren are the rules set by Xuan Sheng himself. There is a pit in the carrot. Every time you go up, you have to go down. Although Pingzhang Dazhen has no definite number, he must first become Shenzhi Zhenzhen before he can hope to become Pingzhang Dazhen. Moreover, Pingzhang Dazhen's status is of course respected, but he has lost it. After all, there are some shortcomings in the competition for the qualifications of the Great Master, so it is very important to know the position of the real person. On average, there are only twelve positions in each of the three sects, but there are nearly a hundred real people in each sect, almost ten. There is only one Zhenzhen Zhenzhen, doesn’t Master Bai want the position of Zhenzhen Zhenzhen?”

Bai Yingqiong's face showed sarcasm: "Only you are qualified to talk to me about Master Shenzhi? Even the master behind you is not qualified. It is not too late to discuss this matter after Master Qingwei becomes the chief master. "

Feng Bo was not angry and continued: "I am just stating a fact. Although Xuansheng is very opposed to hereditary inheritance, he even changed the Zhang family's 'Great Heavenly Master' to 'Celestial Master' and introduced a Heavenly Master with a different surname. . But human nature is like this, and it cannot be reversed by Xuansheng. After Xuansheng passed away, it gradually returned to its old state. Today, within the Taoist sect, there are several positions that are passed down from generation to generation, such as the Tianshi of the Zhang family and the Tianshi of the Li family. Imperial Master, as well as Donghua Lineage, Cihang Lineage, Qingwei Lineage, etc. Master Bai, you are a disciple of Master Cihang. You are already qualified to aspire to become Master Shenzhi. No one needs to be granted an official position or make a wish. It’s not even comparable to other ordinary real people.”

Bai Yingqiong still didn't understand anything at this time, and her eyes had changed a little.

Feng Bo observed the words and then said: "Zhang Yuelu is not the direct daughter of the Zhang family, but she comes from a small family in a nearby branch. Even if she is accepted as a disciple by Master Cihang, she is only one of the many disciples of Master Cihang. She is not the founder of the mountain. Disciple, he is not a closed disciple. He is neither good nor bad, and is ignored by everyone. Why should she stand out? It's not like the last big case in Jiangnan. She risked her life and fought for a future, dragging down a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest. After dismounting, Master Donghua had a reason to attack the Jinque discussion, and then he fell into the eyes of the Earth Master. He first ordered the deputy hall master to be an exception, and then gave him a semi-immortal object. Because of the Earth Master's favor, Zhang. The family also paid attention to it, and Master Cihang had no choice but to follow the trend and designate her as the successor. "

Bai Yingqiong slowly leaned back on the chair, looked up at the octagonal palace lantern hanging above, and wondered what she was thinking.

"In terms of qualifications, ability, and cultivation, how is Master Bai not better than her? Master Bai is the first disciple of Master Cihang. When Master Bai became a disciple, she was not born yet. In terms of seniority, she is a senior sister. But in terms of age and qualifications, they are two generations apart. Is Master Bai willing to be below them?" Feng Bo's words are confusing.

Bai Yingqiong was silent for a long time, then suddenly said: "Does this rhetoric seem to make sense when applied to some elders of the Li family?"

"It's different." Uncle Feng stopped being secretive, "Young Master is a direct descendant of the Li family, and a descendant of our ancestors."

The Li family calls Taishang Daozu the "Great Saint Ancestor", and the ancestor is Li Daoxu, the father of Xuansheng and Donghuang, the Great Sword Immortal. Among the Xuanshengpai, Li Daoxu, like the Holy Lord Tantaiyun, Emperor Daxuan Gaozu, and Xuansheng's Master Xu Wugui, all belong to the Tianpai.

Although the adopted sons and sons-in-law of the Li family can also hold power and even become the head of the family. But in the past hundred years, the descendants of the ancestor Li Daoxu have always held the power. From the national master Li Changgeng to the real person Qingwei, to Li Tianzhen, and even the empress, they are all from this lineage, making it difficult to pay attention to The Li family of the big sect and the small sect are said to be the direct descendants. On the contrary, the Zhang family, which attaches great importance to the orthodoxy of the big sect, is somewhat inattentive, which makes the children of the side branches have a chance to succeed. It is probably because they are deliberately planting flowers but not blooming, and unintentionally planting willows to create shade, so Uncle Feng Only then can there be talk of direct lineage.

Bai Yingqiong said noncommittally: "To sow discord, do you think I will be fooled?"

"Master Bai's words are serious." Uncle Feng's attitude became humble again, "Just think of this as a reminder to Master Bai. Because of the last big case in Jiangnan, Zhang Yuelu was promoted to the fourth rank of Taoist priest and deputy hall master. , many good people compare him with Li Changge, the young ancestor of the Li family, and Yao Pei of the Quanzhen Taoism. They say that the seventh generation of great masters will come from Zhenren Cihang, Donghua, and Qingwei, and the eighth generation of masters will come from Zhenren. Among these three people, just imagine, if Zhang Yuelu is allowed to make further contributions, he will be promoted to the third level of Youyi Taoist priest. I don’t need to explain the concept of Youyi Taoist priest who is less than thirty years old. "

Bai Yingqiong poured herself a cup of tea, but didn't pick it up.

While observing Bai Yingqiong's expression and attitude, Uncle Feng said: "But if Zhang Yuelu fails to handle the case this time, the day when he will be promoted to the third rank of Youyi Taoist Priest will be greatly delayed. The time of entering and exiting is an age difference. threshold."

Bai Yingqiong looked at Feng Bo: "Harming others is not beneficial to oneself."

"Of course not." Feng Bo said sternly, "If Zhang Yuelu cannot become a real person, then the only person who can be a real person is Bai Zhenren. At this point, my master is not only happy to see the success, but also willing to provide some help. "

In many things, if others do not participate, they can still weigh the left and right in their hearts and pull back and forth to form a balance. But once an external force intervenes and breaks the window paper, this fragile balance will immediately be shattered and quickly tip to one side.

It's just that Bai Yingqiong's palace will not let her express her attitude easily. If she is tricked out of her heart in just a few words, then her years as deputy palace master will be in vain.

Bai Yingqiong said: "We'll talk about the digression later. Let's continue talking about releasing people."

Feng Bo said: "After the investigation team leaves Jinling Mansion, your love will return to Master Bai safely and without any loss of hair."

Bai Yingqiong closed her eyes: "I hope you can keep your word."

Uncle Feng smiled and stood up to say goodbye: "In that case, I won't bother you."

When Bai Yingqiong was left alone, she opened her eyes, stared at the octagonal palace lantern, and murmured to herself: "Master Shenzhi."

On the other side, Feng Bo left this place and came to a place where no one was. He burned a child and mother talisman, forming a light curtain in front of him.

"Ancestor." Uncle Feng said respectfully, "Bai Yingqiong didn't express her attitude, but she didn't sternly refuse either. She must be a little moved."

A voice came from the other side of the light curtain, with only two words: "Very good."

Uncle Feng said again: "Before I came, Zhang Yuelu just left. Do you want to..."

The other side of the light curtain said: "Killing depends on time and place. One theory is that Zhang Yuelu died on the way home. At that time, she was just Zhang Yuelu. But it is another theory that Zhang Yuelu died in Jinling Mansion. At this time, Zhang Yuelu was If members of the Jinque investigation team touch her rashly, they will give others a handle and will not be conducive to the development of the situation. "

"Yes." Uncle Feng responded respectfully.
