The street in front of Taiping Inn has been martial law, and the man in black from the Nanting Protectorate is responsible for this place.

It was obvious that the streets were full of fully armed men in black, black armor and black face armor, forming two long black walls.

The entire Lion City is in a panic. Who are you going to catch?

Chief Qi and Chief Zhang are not in Lion City. Could it be that they are catching an old Taoist priest?

Qi Xuansu's convoy slowly drove into the street in front of Taiping Inn.

The men in black on both sides of the street saluted in an orderly manner, and the sound of armor and armor sounded.

The major events of the country are sacrifices and wars.

In order to gather together, in addition to external threats, people also need some illusory concepts, so they need to add some meaning and a sense of ritual to some things, so that these concepts can be embodied and make people feel that these things are solemn.

The military affairs are to deal with external threats, while the sacrifices correspond to these concepts.

Some people are cynical and despise etiquette and law, which is essentially deconstructing these concepts. Perhaps in their opinion, etiquette and law are deceiving fools and wives. They think they have seen through it, and as long as they understand the concepts, they do not need to abide by the rules.

This is actually a kind of arrogance. If they see through it, it doesn’t mean that most people can see through it. Talking about concepts directly is too vague and confusing. It still needs to be realized through specific rituals.

Therefore, the five generations of masters strictly prohibited this deconstruction behavior, and wiped out the cynical habits of Taoist priests. Whoever wants to be cynical will give up power directly and honestly retire.

This sets the next tone: Taoism must follow rules and be serious and serious.

However, this kind of ritual will inevitably deteriorate and become a show.

Soon, Qi Xuansu's car stopped at the entrance of Taiping Inn and got off one after another.

Qi Xuansu was walking in the middle, Lin Yuanmiao on the left, and the second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest cannot be faked. On the right is Jiayin Spiritual Official, a real first-grade Spiritual Official.

Anyone who sees it will be very grand, but I’m afraid that there will be no such situation for the real people in the palace to travel.

At this time, a square formation of men in black stood in the courtyard of Taiping Inn. Seeing this scene, everyone was ashamed.

The general in black in the head whispered: "Hello!"

All the men in black raised the spear in their hands together.

Qi Xuansu's face was calm and she strode into the lobby of Taiping Inn, where the Protector of the Great is waiting.

After the two of them greeted each other, the Protector did not talk nonsense and went straight to the point: "Mr. Jin has arrived."

Although the ancestor of Jin Gong was named Lu, people still call him Mr. Jin or Mr. Jin. Perhaps only people of the same generation, such as Lan Da Zhenren, still remember that the ancestor of Jin Gong was named Lu.

Qi Xuansu said "I'm working hard" and walked inside.

The Great Protector, Lin Yuanmiao, and Jiayin Spiritual Officials stayed outside.

This was the first time Qi Xuansu met Master Jin in front of him. In the past, he only saw Master Jin taking action, but he could only see a pair of magic palms, but he could not see his true appearance.

There is only one coffee table and two chairs placed opposite each other across the coffee table.

An old man was already sitting on one of the chairs. Influenced by Western learning, he was wearing an oriental crane cloak, but using a Western pipe, a jade pendant of an oriental gentleman hanging around his waist, a pocket watch of a Western gentleman on his chest, and a pair of sunglasses made of fine ink crystals.

Qi Xuansu finally knew who Wu Guangbi had learned about his outfit, but Wu Guangbi has developed it on this basis.

The old man was swallowing clouds and vomiting mist. When he saw Qi Xuansu coming in, he stood up and instead held the pipe with his left hand, saying, "Zheng Qi, I have been looking forward to it for a long time." He stretched out his right hand to Qi Xuansu.

"Senior Lu, I should say this." Qi Xuansu shook hands with Master Jin Gong, and then the two of them sat down separately.

After Master Jin sat down, he raised the pipe in his hand: "Do you mind?"

Qi Xuansu said: "Qi Niang is also good at this, I have been used to it for a long time, so I don't mind it."

Master Jin nodded and continued to suck the clouds and spit out: "Over the years, others have called me Mr. Jin, but Zhenren Qi actually knew that my surname was Lu, which is rare."

Qi Xuansu said: "Senior was also a Taoist sect before?"

Master Jin Gong said: "Once he was."

Qi Xuansu asked, "Why didn't it later?"

Master Jin Gong answered the question that he was ill: "There is a big battle between Zhenren Qi, and half of the Lion City is under martial law."

Qi Xuansu smiled: "It's Master Jin Gong who is famous. The people below are worried that I will have an accident. They are afraid of taking responsibility, so they make their own decisions."

"Zhen Qi has been awarded." Master Jin Gong held his pipe in his mouth and grinned, his voice a little vague, "When I was young, I also met a Shenzhi Zhenren with a big formation. At that time, I decided to be like this for a real man."

Qi Xuansu was not in a hurry to get to the point and continued: "Since that's the case, seniors should stay in the Taoist sect. The skills of seniors, let alone the true master of the school, are afraid that it is not difficult for Pingzhang to be a big real person."

Master Jin took off his pipe and spit out a mouthful of white mist: "Zhengren Qi praised me. If it was so easy, why is Mr. Zhou not Pingzhang Dazhen? The surname of Lu is already a dead person in the Taoist roster."

Qi Xuansu's heart moved: "Historical question? Can you ask who is the senior who he has learned from?"

The old man did not answer positively: "A person with bad luck or someone who is in the wrong team, otherwise I would not have left Yujing and left a foreign land."

Qi Xuansu slightly adjusted his sitting posture: "I would like to hear it carefully."

Master Jin Gong's eyelids sag slightly: "Zhengren Qi should know that the Five Dynasties' Masters once deposed three deputy heads, Dazhenren, and then supported three new deputy heads, Dazhenren, that is, the third division that is now called the wind and rain on the stage. Newcomers must use their own people to suppress the elderly. Even if the newly promoted deputy heads' Masters are unwilling to do this, the Five Dynasties' Masters will force them to do this, otherwise the replacement of the Five Dynasties' Masters will be meaningless. The family master is the confidant of the previous national teacher, so he will naturally be involved. As the saying goes, if one prospers and one loss is both prosperous and one loss is both loss, how can I escape?"

Qi Xuansu said: "As far as I know, Master Jin Gong has a good relationship with the national teacher."

"This is something that happened later. To be precise, it was something that happened after I became famous." Master Jin said calmly, "The good relationship now does not mean that the relationship was good in the past, nor does it mean that the relationship is good in the future. Moreover, the master of the family is a person directly named by the master of the Five Dynasties. The national master who has just risen to the top did not dare to go against the master of the Five Dynasties. In fact, until the death of the Master of the Five Dynasties, the third master who is now called the wind and rain are obedient."

Qi Xuansu said: "But senior was just a young man at that time, so he would not be implicated."

Master Jin Gong smiled and said, "I don't say that it's so easy to hear. Zhenren Qi is also a young man. If Zhenren Donghua falls, will there be a place for Zhenren Qi in the Taoist sect?"

Speaking of this, Master Jin Gong laughed at himself: "Mr. Qi is probably annoyed by the fact that he is all about the old things, so there is nothing to say. After all, I am an old person, so I can't compare with you young handsome guys."

Qi Xuansu shook his head and said, "No trouble."

Master Jin Gong smiled slightly: "Since Zhenren Qi is not annoying, I will say more. People's concepts are basically established in the year of the crown. Unless there are major changes, it is difficult to change. When I was young, I met many great figures in Yujing, and even the masters of the Five Dynasties. In addition, I have a good background and a prominent teacher, so I have a strong idea of ​​'a real man should be like this'. Since it cannot be realized within the Taoist sect, I have to search outside the Taoist sect."

Qi Xuansu asked, "What did you do after you came to Nanyang?"

The old man understated it: "It's just a struggle and a life of death. It's not easy to compare with a decent person like Zhenren Qi."

Qi Xuansu said: "In just eight words, it's easy to say, but how difficult it is to do?"

The old man gently stroked the pipe, "It's not difficult to say it's difficult, it's not easy to say it's hard to say it's easy to say it's good. At that time, the Nanyang United Mutual Aid Association had been reorganized into the Nanyang United Trading Company. As the old subordinate of the Five-generation master, the Wang family was also a new Taoist sect. They are rising and not fully rising. There is no question of controlling Nanyang. The Taoist government also has many problems, unlike now. At that time, the entire Nanyang was very chaotic and pirates were rampant. Many people hoped to have an orderly market, and no one had the ability except me."

Qi Xuansu said: "In this way, we are still benefiting from the rectification of the market by our predecessors."

"I dare not, I dare not." Master Jin Gong's attitude was very humble, "Every generation has its responsibilities, and we always need new people to replace old people."

Qi Xuansu sat upright: "Senior, let's talk about the serious matter."

Master Jin Gong nodded slightly: "Okay, let's talk about this tricky thing."

Qi Xuansu said: "The nature of this matter is very bad..."

Master Jin Gong interrupted Qi Xuansu: "We are willing to compensate Qi Zhenren for all losses, including mental, scared or scared."

Qi Xuansu said: "It's too straightforward."

Master Jin Gong spit out a mouthful of smoke, and then the smoke turns into a word "2".

"How?" Master Jin Gong stuffed his pipe back into his mouth.

Two million peaceful money.

To be fair, this is not a small number.

Mr. Gao offered Qi Xuansu 200,000 Taiping money, but now Mr. Jin offered Qi Xuansu 2 million Taiping money, which has increased ten times, which means that Qi Xuansu's status has increased at least ten times.

Qi Xuansu was not moved at all: "This is probably not a matter of money."

Master Jin Gong did not speak, but the smoke changed again, and it turned into a word "three".

Qi Xuansu emphasized his tone slightly: "I said, this is not a matter of money."

Master Jin Gong said: "When Emperor Bai lived in Qizhou, he was greedy for wealth and good deeds. Now he entered the pass, and there was nothing to take in money and women had no luck. His ambition was not small. Qi Zhenren now has great ambitions, so he naturally had nothing to take in money and property. Therefore, I did not give these things to Qi Zhenren, but to Nanyang United Trading Company. The "Tianting" will also fully cooperate with the various business developments of Nanyang United Trading Company."

Qi Xuansu still didn't say anything.

Master Jin Gong took a deep breath: "In view of Wu Guangbi's involvement in this matter, I will let Wu Guangbi take a break for a while and think about his mistakes in front of him. Liu Gui will be responsible for the affairs of the 'Tianting' and officially inform all forces."
