Pawn Crossing the River

After saying that, Sun Hewu grabbed Qi Xuansu's shoulder and threw him away.

Qi Xuansu felt as if he was flying in the clouds and mist. When his feet landed, he was already standing on the observatory, next to Yao Pei with an expressionless face.

On the other side, Sun Hewu lifted Qi Jianyuan up again. After all, he was a heavenly being, and Qi Xuansu's punch could not be compared to Master Wan's punch, so Qi Jianyuan was only seriously injured and not dead yet.

Sun Hewu grabbed Qi Jianyuan's shoulders with both hands, shook him hard a few times, and heard a "crackling" sound, which seemed to smooth out the misplaced bones. Then he put him down again, reached out and patted his back, causing Qi Jianyuan to He spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Okay, go do your errands and don't cause trouble here. If there is a next time, I will kick you out." Sun Hewu said bluntly, "If you are not convinced, let Pei Xuanzhi and Qi Jiaozheng come over Just look for me.”

Although there is no distinction between the deputy hall master and the assistant church leader, in many cases they cannot be judged purely on the basis of their positions.

Within the Taoist sect, it also depends on rank, qualifications, background, realm cultivation, etc. Just like Li Tianlan, he is only the second deputy hall master of Jinling Taoist Palace, but he is able to be in the same lineage as the real person in charge of the palace, Cihang, who is very close at hand, not only because of his position.

In terms of grades, Sun Hewu is a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest, and Qi Jianyuan is only a third-grade Youyi Taoist priest. In terms of qualifications, Sun Hewu is a contemporary of the Sixth Generation Grandmaster, having gone through three generations of Laosu Lao, including the Fourth Generation Grandmaster, the Fifth Generation Grandmaster, and the Sixth Generation Grandmaster. In terms of realm cultivation, Sun Hewu could suppress Qi Jianyuan with one hand. In terms of position, Sun Hewu is the real person in charge of the Wanxiang Dao Palace at this time, and he has the final say in the Wanxiang Dao Palace.

Even if Qi Jiaozheng met Sun Hewu, he would still call him "Old Sun".

The main reason why Sun Hewu failed to become Shenzhi Zhenren was because he didn't care about these things. Just like Taoist Ji of Shuzhou Taoist House, he was a figure like Xianyun Yehe in the Taoist sect. In fact, Qi Xuansu's previous wish was to be such a Taoist master.

Therefore, Sun Hewu had enough confidence to say this, and there was no problem at all.

Qi Jianyuan did not refute, but silently put away his sword.

On the other side, Yao Pei glanced at Qi Xuansu: "As I said before, fellow Taoist Qingxiao really knows how to recognize people, which is admirable."

Qi Xuansu was in no mood to talk. Apart from the lingering impression of the "Magic Sword", his mind was entirely focused on one thing. Why did Master leave Quanzhen Taoism and join Zhengyiyi? What happened to him and the Qi family?

It is unrealistic to say that he was forced to leave the Qi family after failing to compete for the position of the head of the family, because the master's level of cultivation is not high, and it is unlikely to be comparable to the master Shenzhi Qi Jiaozheng.

It is impossible to say that my cultivation level was very high in the past, but later fell down due to other changes. The Taoist sect will not lower the grade of a Taoist priest because of a lack of cultivation, but will only lower the grade of a Taoist priest because of mistakes and defaults. This is also a guarantee system.

The master is only a fourth-grade Taoist priest, far away from the second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest.

Furthermore, if the master had a very high level of cultivation in the past and could even compete with Qi Jiaozheng for the position of being the master of knowledge, then the master would not be an unknown person. When Zhang Yuelu looked at his file, there was no way he wouldn't have the slightest reaction to his master's name.

It can be seen that the master was probably a relatively ordinary member of the Qi family in the past. Looking at Qi Jianyuan's attitude, the master should have fallen out with the Qi family. This is not a strange thing. Even Zhang Yuelu has had the idea of ​​joining the Quanzhen Tao. For many people, family is both a help and a constraint. There must be a choice.

While he was talking, Sun Hewu came back again, interrupting Qi Xuansu's thoughts: "I heard you talk about those Jianghu things before, and I was a little skeptical at first, but now I have to believe it. You kid really doesn't have any martial ethics." 'It's a perfect match for you."

Qi Xuansu came back to his senses and smiled sheepishly: "I've caused trouble to the old master."

"It's no trouble at all." Sun Hewu waved his hand, "This is my responsibility as the acting master of the palace. Lao Shi entrusted the Dao Palace to me. No matter how I usually do, I have to shoulder the burden at this time. Again Yes, I probably understood it. The boy from the Qi family insulted your master. I remember that you were born in the lower palace, without a father or a mother. Master and disciple are like father and son. It is human nature for you to get angry and lose your temper. Our Taoist sect He is not a Neo-Confucian school, and he is not that unkind. Don't worry, Pei Xuanzhi is not a stingy person, and Qi Jiaozheng is not a person who protects his shortcomings. The character of these two people is still trustworthy. "

Qi Xuansu felt relieved and sighed secretly in his heart again. No wonder Zhang Yuelu said that this old man was a loyal elder. Since he returned to Taoism, although he has met many evil people, he has also met many good people like Sun Hewu, Pei Xiaolou, and Lei Xiaohuan. He doesn't really want to use moral standards to distinguish between good and evil. For him, what is good for me is good, and what is bad for me is evil.

Qi Xuansu looked at the reed field below again, and Qi Jianyuan had disappeared.

He knew that the conflict between the two was far from over. The old man could suppress it for a while, but not for the rest of his life. It was impossible for him to kill Qi Jianyuan directly in public, and Qi Jianyuan would definitely not be convinced. Sooner or later, he would have to get it back, and the two of them might have to fight again in the future.

Thinking of this, Qi Xuansu subconsciously rubbed the "bell" hanging around his waist with his hand.

This is an imitation of the "Nine Yang Lihuo Shield". It is Qi Xuansu's last resort and can be regarded as a last resort.

However, Qi Xuansu believed that Qi Jianyuan also had the means to fight or save his life. At first, he didn't bother to use it, probably because he didn't have the necessary mentality to deal with an innate person. Later, he was beaten by Qi Xuansu and had no chance to use it. In the end, he decided to fight to the death regardless of it. At that time, he was interrupted by Sun Hewu.

After all, Qi Jianyuan's psychological baggage is too heavy. It's not that it's wrong to maintain his own identity, but that he has to distinguish between occasions and opportunities. He has to win and be beautiful at the same time. How can there be such a good thing in the world?

Many onlookers witnessed a high-level private fight at the Ghost Festival celebration, and they felt satisfied and had different feelings.

Most of Shangguan's fourth-grade wine-offering Taoist priests were shocked by Qi Xuansu's powerful strength. Those who didn't know it thought he was Yao Pei, the Quanzhen Taoist genius who was as famous as Zhang Yuelu and Li Changge. Those who knew the inside story began to re-examine Qi Xuansu, and there was only one core point. No wonder Qi Xuansu became a fourth-grade wine-sacrifice Taoist priest at such a young age. With such a great reputation, he has a bright future.

Several assistants had the same mentality as Yao Pei, and they were more impressed by Zhang Yuelu's ability to recognize people. As the saying goes, horses with thousands of miles of horses are often found, but gentlemen are not. Knowing people and employing talents is the first priority for a superior. During this period of time, Zhang Yuelu has not had any major problems with his employment. At least he has not made any jokes about being stabbed in the back by his subordinates. In terms of understanding people, Qi Xuansu is also a remarkable example. For many high-quality Taoist priests who adhere to neutrality among the three realms, this is a plus.

They are silent and will not express their true attitude easily, but they have a strong balance in their hearts.

Yao Pei knew this very well, so he kept talking about it.

She regarded Zhang Yuelu as her opponent. Although they were not able to participate in the competition for the position of the Seventh Generation Grandmaster due to their age, by the time they competed for the Eighth Generation Grandmaster, they would probably have a head-to-head confrontation. M..

As for the disciples of the lower palace, they were just watching the fun, but some people heard a few words from the conversations among the high-quality Taoist priests, and after learning that Qi Xuansu was from the lower palace, they were more concerned about Yourong.

This is a natural position. The disciples of the lower palace with poor resources can outperform the children of the aristocratic family with rich resources, and they should indeed be proud of it.

Many times, fame is accumulated little by little. Qi Xuansu's fight against Qi Jianyuan is the same as Zhang Yuelu's fight against Li Tianzhen.

Soon, tonight's Hungry Ghost Festival celebration came to an end, and everyone began to disperse.

Sun Hewu wanted to return to Kunyuan, and Qi Xuansu and Yao Pei returned to Zhenyuan together.

Street lamps hung on both sides of the road, shaped like lanterns, but the material of the lampshade was changed to glass, making the light brighter. As they walked, the faces of the two people were reflected in varying light and dark.

Qi Xuansu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Fellow Daoist Yao, how much do you know about the Qi family?"

Yao Pei seemed to have expected Qi Xuansu to ask such a question, and answered directly: "I don't know much about Zhenren Qi's generation. Why don't you ask Qiniang? Or ask Zhenren Pei, they are all about the same At your age, you should know something.”

Qi Xuansu sighed.

Bai asked.
