Chapter 226: Becoming a Taoist partner

Of course, Qi Xuansu should be polite and humble, and at the same time he was thinking, is it a pure coincidence of King Qi's appearance here? Or is it another profound meaning?

Just as there are people like Pei Shenfu inside Quanzhendao, the court is not entirely supportive of Emperor Jiushi. What is the attitude of King Qi? Of course, they will not oppose Emperor Jiushi on the surface, but once the emperor's policy encounters major setbacks, these potential opposition voices will be meaningful. As the saying goes, one step is three steps, and some things need to be ambushed in advance.

However, people like King Qi will definitely not reveal any slightest words, nor will he leave any talk. This is a bit similar to Qi Xuansu meeting Zhang Taixu first, and will not talk about specific things, so as to pave the way for the future. When you really want to cooperate in the future, it will not be too abrupt.

Qi Xuansu believes that there will be that day. In fact, no matter who becomes the chief priest, he will have to solve the problem of the court. He has a great ambition for the emperor. Doesn’t the Li family know? Of course, the Li family knows that it is just that there is pressure from Zhengyidao and Quanzhendao now, so let’s put it aside. The dispute between the first Taoist priest and the second Taoist priest is inevitable.

Whether it is the King of Qi, Zhang Taixu, or King of Jin, they can be the help of the emperor or the resistance of the emperor, it depends entirely on how the situation develops. When they come to see Qi Xuansu, they also ambush in advance.

After the greetings, the King of Qi said goodbye: "Taiwei Zhenren, we have a long way to go, haha."

Qi Xuansu finally said only four words: "The future is long."

King Qi turned around and left.

Qi Xuansu suddenly remembered a joke from that year. It was when he went to the Western Regions with Zhang Yuelu. He had dinner with Cao Liyou and Shangguan. Cao Liyou asked him if he had a word "su" in his name. Do you like to eat vegetarian food? Qi Xuansu joked that he had the word "xuan" in his name. Should he arrange a big house in Xuandu? His surname is Qi, should he just be named King Qi?

It was as if yesterday, the house in Xuandu was not difficult, and King Qi also saw it.

Then Qi Xuansu took Xiao Yin back to Taiqing Palace. Old Master Pei was ready and could set off. It is worth mentioning that Pei Shenfu would accompany her father to Yujing. It seems that she has figured it out clearly. Since the general trend cannot be reversed, then follow the trend.

Come down from Jinao Peak and board the flying boat.

Formerly embark on the way home.

After the flying boat set off, Qi Xuansu contacted Donghua real person and briefly introduced the situation.

Some situations, Donghua Zhenren already knew about the incident, such as the Earth Master and the Emperor, and some situations, Donghua Zhenren didn't know about the attitude of Mr. Pei.

Because he was his father, Donghua Zhenren was very concerned and asked many questions, even in detail.

Qi Xuansu tactfully conveyed the general meaning of Mr. Pei’s words. After hearing this, Donghua Zhenren was silent for a moment and said, “Okay, I understand.”

After the Wanghailou incident, Taipingdao had no intention of doing anything else, so he was safe and sound. Qi Xuansu returned to Yujing smoothly.

The situation was very big, and the real person of Donghua and real person of Cihang came to welcome Mr. Pei. The Su family went smoothly and there was basically no time. After the Tianshi and the emperor talked, Zhang Yuelu was responsible for sending the person to Yujing, while the Tianshi went directly to Qizhou. So the parents of the real person of Cihang came to Yujing one step ahead of time.

Later, Donghua Real People held a family dinner, including Mr. Pei, Pei Shenfu, Pei Xiaolou, Lei Xiaohuan, Pei Xiaoyun, Yao Pei, and Qi Xuansu were not the only outsiders, and Xiao Yin and Gong Sect also attended.

Zhang Yuelu didn't come, she went to Cihang's real person.

The guests have come to Yujing one after another, so Pei Xiaolou and Lei Xiaohuan can attend family dinners in Yujing. This is also the norm for Taoist couples or Taoist couples, often from all over the world. Pei Xiaolou is now in Nanyang, and Lei Xiaohuan is in Jiangnan, so he also took this opportunity to get together for a few days. Of course, Pei Xiaolou is also very carefree in Nanyang alone and does not miss home.

When Mr. Pei met his most promising eldest son, he was still a little touched and said a lot, but he only talked about family affairs and not state affairs, so the atmosphere at the table was quite harmonious.

Donghua Zhenren specifically mentioned the matter of Guanhailou: "I want to say sorry to Tianyuan first. It was because I was not considerate and put Tianyuan in danger. I also want to praise Tianyuan because Tianyuan handled it very well. If it were not for Tianyuan, I would be very worried about this matter."

Qi Xuansu and Donghua Zhenren are half-way masters and apprentices, and their relationship cannot be compared with normal masters and apprentices. This requires some special means to deepen this relationship. Such a half-public and half-private thing is very suitable.

Mr. Pei also praised him a few words, but he did not give him any face at all.

Pei Shenfu didn't say much, just drank alone.

Xiao Yin is almost the same as her, and she doesn't talk, just having a meal alone.

A family banquet is free from wind and waves, and the next is the official ceremony.

The Heavenly Master will not attend, so I asked Zhang Kucheng to congratulate him on behalf of him. The Earthly Master will not attend, so I asked Yao Yi to congratulate him on behalf of him.

The two of them were not opposed, but before the election, the third division would avoid suspicion according to tacit understanding and would not come to Yujing. At least they would not come to Yujing until the list of the Grand Chief Election Committee came out.

This means that Qi Xuansu is finally going to see Yao Yi, the candidate for the Earth Master. From Qi Niang, Qi Xuansu can still call Yao Yi as the eldest brother. Of course, he can call him as the eldest brother of the National Master.

Qi Xuansu had a very obvious feeling. With the upcoming election, the guys who had previously hidden under the water and refused to show up easily had to show up: the emperor, the earth master, Zhang Taixu, the king of Qi, Yao Yi, etc.

It can be predicted that with the release of the Election Commission, more old guys will appear.

This shows that the situation is getting tense.

All parties may not be determined to start a war on their own initiative, but they are ready to start a war.

After the election results come out, whether peace between Yujing and Taoist sect can be guaranteed, it is necessary to test Donghua and Qingwei sect. It is not only a test of their wisdom, but also a test of their means, pattern, tool, determination, etc.

Since the Heavenly Master and Earth Master do not come, the candidate to preside over the ceremony is Jiang Da Zhenren, the fourth largest real person.

It just so happened that the end of the Dazun area was almost over, and the troops were going to return to the court.

The observation team of Xidaomen transformed into military affairs observation personnel, representing Dan Tai Ying, and attended the ceremony to express congratulations.

As for the Holy Court Observation Group, they will not participate. Because the two real people said that they only invite relatives and friends, and they will not be able to hold a grand ceremony, and the Taoist sect will not allow the Holy Court to participate on the eve of the election. The Holy Court Observation Group will go to Nalanda Temple through the Dazun area, visit the three Buddhist masters, and then go to Xiposa Prefecture from the Buddhist controlled area to complete this unpredictable observation journey.

On the first day of the twelfth lunar month of Jiushi, Jiang Dazhenren officially signed a ceasefire agreement with the Buddhist representative Unconscious Dharma King, to recover the entire territory of Dazun, including Dazun Temple, and to return to the court with victory.

This armistice agreement has far-reaching significance, not only means that the Taoist sect completed the punishment of Buddhism, avenged Chen Zhengxian's revenge, but also effectively shocked all forces.

From the war in the Western Regions, to the war in Fenglinzhou, to the Dazun conflict, the shamanism, the Tianmen, and the Buddhist sect took turns to be slapped by the Taoist sect, interspersed with episodes of the extermination of Chen Shuhua and other local separatist forces. The Taoist sect even supported the Xidao Gate behind the scenes and the Steam Gospel War.

No matter how internal fighting is done by Taoist sect, it is always a prosperous martial arts and cannot be provoked by others.

Judging from the foreign record alone, Taoist sect is still at its peak.

As for the Dao Sect, major cases broke out one after another, finances became increasingly tense, traitors and spies frequently appeared, three internal strife intensified, and the political ecology further deteriorated. It is really not optimistic, and all contradictions focused on this election of the chief sect.

For Buddhism, the signing of this armistice agreement means that the radical faction headed by the Peacock King has suffered major setbacks and has reached a point of shaking its foundation. The amateur faction headed by the Unconscious Dharma King has begun to rise. As long as this trend is maintained, peace can be ensured for a considerable period of time in the future.

It’s not that Dao Sect can’t be beaten, but the Dao Sect’s finances need to take a breath.

Jinque held a grand welcoming ceremony in Yujing.

Represented by the real person of Tiangang Hall, Cihang, a total of seven real persons attending the greeting, including Qi Xuansu.

Jiang Dazhen was also busy. He had just finished dealing with the Holy Court and Buddhism and had to come back to preside over the ceremony.

However, this time it was really not a big deal, because it was not a marriage, there were not so many cumbersome processes, and it could even be said that there was only one link. The two parties involved really invited relatives and friends, but with their connections, the number of relatives and friends was a bit large.

The ceremony is scheduled for the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month.

On the day of the ceremony, Qi Xuansu, Zhang Yuelu, and Xiaoyin's family all attended the banquet.

Today, the family of three is a supporting role. In terms of seniority, they are younger generations, not even peers. In terms of status, it is not their turn to host. There are all the people of Pingzhang Dazhen, so they became pure guests and spectators.

After the guests sat down, Jiang Dazhen appeared and said a few words first, all of which were clichés.

Then Donghua and Cihang appeared together. However, compared to Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu getting married, the two were much simpler, and they didn't even change their clothes, and they were still dressed up on their usual occasions.

According to the rules, to become a Taoist couple, you need to exchange tokens. The two real families have great achievements, so they are naturally ready in advance.

As expected, Zhenren Donghua took out a jade pendant, which was given by Xuansheng back then. It has the wonderful use of concentrating the mind and resting in peace of mind, and is very precious.

Most of Xuansheng's personal relics fell into the hands of the Li family, but the ancestors of the Pei family were Xuansheng's disciples, and they were also divided into part.

Coincidentally, the token of Cihang's true man Cihang was a jade hairpin. Although it was not given by Xuansheng, it was given to Su Zushi of Cihang's lineage by Mrs. Xuansheng. This Zushi married the Tianshi Master Yan of a different surname. The couple had a good relationship with Xuansheng and had many contacts.

These two tokens must have profound meanings, one is a gift from Xuansheng and the other is a gift from Mrs. Xuansheng. Isn’t this the meaning of the Grand Master and the Grand Master’s Lady?
