Pawn Crossing the River

Zhang Yuelu understood what Qi Xuansu meant.

Mu Jin said: "I remember the name Wan Xiuwu. It seems that he was killed by someone from a secret society. We also took over this case, but then the Zixian Mountain case came out, so we couldn't care about it for the time being. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Your classmate."

There was no sadness on Qi Xuansu's face, only calmness: "Yes, he died young."

Mu Jin couldn't help but said: "I have been working on cases recently. This case and that case are making a lot of noise. I wonder if we can finally solve them."

Zhang Yuelu suddenly said: "Mu Jin, go and organize the files on this case. I want to use them."

Mu Jin responded without thinking too much. She just assumed that Zhang Yuelu was going to pick up the case and turned around to leave.

Of course Zhang Yuelu didn't want to continue investigating the case, he just wanted to send Mu Jin away. Because Qi Xuansu had already told the whole story about the cause and effect, Zhang Yuelu had already known the inside story. Although she knew that this was against Taoism's laws, she still chose to support Qi Xuansu in the end.

Not just because of personal feelings, but also for reasons.

Many people think that evil is: blatant murder and arson, robbing women, robbery, and committing evil acts. In fact, this is not the case.

A lot of evil is hidden within and under rules. Few people do evil openly, but they do do evil.

Take the case of Qi Xuansu. He attacked and killed Wan Xiuwu who was alone. From the perspective of Feng Xiantang, Qi Xuansu was naturally wrong. Qi Xuansu should be captured and brought to justice by Beichen Tang, and then punished.

But what is the cause of this matter? It was Wan Xiuwu and Yue Liuli who jointly put Qi Xuansu to death. Qi Xuansu also reported it to Wanxiang Dao Palace, but in the end nothing happened. Where was Fengxian Tang at that time? Where is Beichen Hall? Could it be that just because Qi Xuansu survived the catastrophe, it can be treated as if it never happened?

Since Feng Xiantang didn't speak at that time, why did he speak again when Qi Xuansu returned for revenge?

Wanxiang Taoist Palace clearly knew about it, because Qi Xuansu was lucky enough to survive without serious consequences, so they chose to suppress the matter. Firstly, because the impact was too bad, and secondly, because Wan and Yue were the best in that class. However, Qi Xuansu is relatively ordinary. Even if Qi Xuansu dies, Wanxiang Taoist Palace will most likely choose to keep the two of them.

Why does Qi Xuansu have no way to redress his grievances? Because he could not alert the higher-ups, and secondly, the Wanxiang Taoist Palace also used tricks to characterize it as an accident. If Qi Xuansu made trouble again, it would be a private fight, that is, a slap in the face would not make a difference. The two sides have already had conflicts and both sides are at fault. , Qi Xuansu, as the victim, also has something wrong. Others will think that Qi Xuansu brought it on himself, and will not sympathize with Qi Xuansu. With this reason, he can explain it to the outside world.

To put it bluntly, if Wan Xiuwu and Yue Liuli killed Qi Xuansu openly, then the Wanxiang Dao Palace would definitely not bend the law for personal gain and would definitely punish them according to law. This is what many people think of as “evil.”

But in fact, Wan Xiuwu and Yue Liuli could turn it into an accident and get away with it as long as they used a little trick to fool the ghosts and took advantage of the opportunity of the Dragon and Tiger Club.

As for whether it was an accident, Qi Xuansu knew it, Wan Xiuwu knew it, Yue Liuli also knew it, and even the superiors knew it, but it was in line with the Taoist laws.

Qi Xuansu couldn't swallow this breath. He wanted to take revenge, so what should he do?

Go to Fengxian Hall to file a complaint?

Of course Feng Xiantang would not ignore it directly like in the storybook, that would be too underestimated Feng Xiantang.

Of course Feng Xiantang will take care of it and will file a case, but they will ask Qi Xuansu a few questions. Is there any evidence? Are there any witnesses? Aren't you living a good life?

At the same time, Feng Xiantang will also go to the Wanxiang Taoist Palace to investigate, which seems fair, and then tell Qi Xuansu that you are a private fight, there are no dead people, and no spiritual officials are involved, it is reasonable, reasonable and legal. If you make trouble again, or go to Jinque to complain, it will be your fault. You will be arrested by Beichen Hall and have a criminal record. Do you want to be promoted in the future?

This means that the sky should not respond and the earth will not work.

What else could Qi Xuansu do? He naturally spoke with the sword in his hand.

At this time, isn't it shameful to use the law to accuse Qi Xuansu of attacking and killing Wan Xiuwu?

Qi Xuansu did not want to discuss the matter with Zhang Yuelu, mainly because he did not want to embarrass Zhang Yuelu. In his opinion, given Zhang Yuelu's character, it was an act against his will to conceal the killing of Wan Xiuwu for him. How could he bear to put Zhang Yuelu in a dilemma again? .

However, Qi Xuansu underestimated Zhang Yuelu. Zhang Yuelu was not a mediocre person. She would not be torn between adhering to the law and safeguarding Qi Xuansu. Instead, she easily understood this truth, so she directly expressed her support for Qi Xuansu.

As for why Wuxu Palace is holding on to him, it's not that they value Taoism's laws, but they feel that killing thousands of people who practice martial arts breaks the rules. What rules? Lots of underlying unwritten rules. That is to say, it is okay to kill, but it must be within the rules. Whether it is framed or framed, or killed with a borrowed knife, as long as the killing is not bloody and the person does not do it himself, it is within the scope of the rules. But if you directly kill someone with a knife, and the man is angry and blood splashes five steps away, then you have broken the rules and must be strangled and suppressed. This trend cannot last long.

This kind of evil is more secretive, invisible and intangible, but it actually exists. If you try to check it, you won't be able to find anything. It is harder to get rid of than those people who openly commit evil and commit evil.

This is one of the reasons why Zhang Yuelu is determined to change Taoism.

Zhang Yuelu said slowly: "The Wuxu Palace has never given up. They are probably suspicious of you. In addition, Master Lei and Master Pei have no time to care about anything else. This class reunion may be a trap."

Qi Xuansu did not deny it, but said: "But there must be an end."

Zhang Yuelu thought for a while and suggested: "After the incident at Jinling Mansion, Master gave me a three-month holiday. I will accompany you."

Qi Xuansu smiled and said, "Others will say that I deliberately show off."

Zhang Yuelu was not in the mood to joke and asked, "Where are you?"

Qi Xuansu opened the invitation in his hand: "The Taiping Inn in Longmen Mansion."

…

Just when Qi Xuansu had just received the invitation, Yue Liuli and Pan Cuiqing had already arrived at the Taiping Inn in Longmen Mansion. Since they had reserved a separate courtyard, they did not have to go in through the main entrance, but could just take the side door.

Entering the side door, you will see pavilions, winding paths, and a clear pond with a small waterwheel and a winding bridge that can only be walked by one person. It is summer, and the vegetation is sparse, which is quite elegant.

In total, there were more than a hundred people who successfully became ninth-grade Taoist priests in the Year of Bingzi. Today, there are still about eighty people left, and only about half of them can actually come to Longmen Mansion. Not all Taoist priests can take root in Yujing. Most of them went to local Taoist houses, or became wandering Taoists like Qi Xuansu. In addition, the casualty rate of low-grade Taoist priests has never been low, so it is so Over the years, it is reasonable that more than 20 people died unexpectedly. If not Qiniang, Qi Xuansu was also among these 20 people.

Among the remaining eighty people, some were not good enough and were unwilling to come; some were busy with errands and could not come back; others simply left the Taoist sect, or went to sea to do business, or wandered around the world, and it is said that they even Some people changed their sect and went to the Confucian sect. That's half again.

Most of those who can make it to Longmen Mansion will arrive in advance and stay here for a while. After all, even if they can take a flying boat to save themselves the pain of traveling, it will cost hundreds of dollars, so naturally it is impossible to come and leave on the same day.

In a pavilion, two people were chatting. After seeing Yue Liuli and Pan Cuiqing, they stood up to say hello. When the two were far away, one of the seventh-grade Taoist priests said: "Yue Liuli has climbed a high branch. Poor Wan Xiu." Wu Cai died a few days ago.”

Another sixth-grade Taoist priest said: "What is this? Do you remember Qi Xuansu?"

"Qi Xuansu?" The seventh-grade Taoist priest thought for a while, "I have some impression of the one who killed the master?"

"That's him." The sixth-grade Taoist priest nodded, "Now that he is prosperous, he has some great luck, and he is favored by Zhang Yuelu."

"Zhang Yuelu? Which Zhang Yuelu?"

"The other Zhang Yuelu is the youngest deputy hall master."

"real or fake?"

"Of course it is true. It is said that Zhang Yuelu led Lao Qi to Yunjin Mountain. Yue Liuli and the others saw this with their own eyes."

"Good guy, this is the blessing that a peacock gets married in several lifetimes."

"Whoever says otherwise, everyone knows that Deputy Hall Master Zhang has a good relationship with the Earth Master. With this Vice Hall Master Zhang's relationship, Lao Qi has got in touch with Master Pei of Wanshou Chongyang Palace. I heard that he is now the Ziwei Hall The Taoist priest in charge, what a piece of shit.”

"This is also a skill. With our background, no family background, no background, if we want to achieve righteousness, we will inevitably have to walk on the narrow path. Besides, even if we cling to such a big peacock, we don't know how much anger we will suffer. What a cold look, not easy.”

"By the way, will he come?"

"She should be coming, right? If you don't return home if you are rich and noble, it's like walking at night in brocade clothes. Maybe we can still see Deputy Hall Master Zhang."

"But having said that, do you still remember the Dragon-Tiger Club that year?"

"Of course I remember, do you think Qi Xuansu hasn't let go yet?"

"When I didn't have the ability, I naturally put it down. But now that I have the ability, I might pick it up again."

"That makes sense. If we really have to face each other, the little palm palace may not be the opponent of the little palm hall."

"Whoever wins or loses has nothing to do with us. We just watch the show."

"It's extreme, it's extreme."
