Chapter 188 Returning Home
Through his conversation with Qi Xuansu, Li Changge came to understand a hidden fact.
In fact, the differences between Qi Xuansu and him were not as big as imagined.
Although Qi Xuansu was good at debate and this time he really left him speechless, Qi Xuansu did not directly refute his point of view, but mostly agreed with it. The main disagreement was still concentrated on the issue of Xidaomen.
Qi Xuansu's foothold was whether Xidaomen was his own people, which was not the same as whether Li Changge should redeem it.
In the end, Qi Xuansu concluded that Xidaomen was his own people, and there was no so-called redemption or not, which cleverly bypassed the question raised by Li Changge.
What if Xidaomen was not his own people?
Qi Xuansu did not give a very clear answer.
At the debate level, Qi Xuansu seized Li Changge's flaws and counterattacked. But on the fundamental issue, Qi Xuansu did not refute.
Can't refute? Or don't want to refute?
This is very thought-provoking.
But Li Changge did not mention this matter to others, including Qingwei Zhenren and Guoshi.
Three generations, three ideas, this is a very normal thing.
The most obvious is the Tianshi, Zhang Jucheng, Zhang Yuelu, the contradictions between them have been exposed, and can not be covered up at all.
The more hidden is the three generations of the Li family, the national teacher, Qingwei Zhenren, Li Changge, which are not exposed, but it does not mean that they do not exist.
There are also three people, the earth master, Donghua Zhenren, and Qi Xuansu. Now it seems that the earth master and Donghua Zhenren have already revealed contradictions, but Donghua Zhenren and Qi Xuansu seem to have no problems.
As for the specific situation, only Qi Xuansu himself knows.
After the three masters actually deposed the Grand Master, the far-reaching impact can be said to have destroyed the greatest consensus of Taoism since Xuansheng, directly leading to the beginning of the division of Taoism. Taoism has reached a critical point, and people of insight have realized that they need to change, and they can't cover it up.
The key is how to change.
Some people are radical, some are conservative. Some people seek outside, some seek inside.
Li Changge is an open radical, and Qi Xuansu is a hidden radical.
Qi Xuansu's current ecological position was not chosen by himself, but the one left after others chose it. In other words, he had no choice but to take this path.
As for whether Qi Xuansu agrees or not, at least on the surface he agrees.
But Qi Xuansu also knows that unity cannot be achieved, redemption cannot be achieved, what is coming will eventually come, and in the end, the most basic logic - violence - must be exercised.
A person's worldview is basically formed around the age of 20.
What was Qi Xuansu's identity when he was 20? What was he doing?
At that time, he was not a big shot, but just an insignificant little character, struggling in the quagmire of the bottom, so many of his concepts are essentially more in line with the bottom, especially the young and strong men at the bottom.
These people have a characteristic, they are treated as cattle and horses, as firewood, sometimes a number, sometimes an ant. When the upper class erects a memorial archway and is unwilling to make concessions, they will make up for it from them. When the upper class wants to make the people suffer, most of them can't escape.
How will Qi Xuansu, who grew up in this environment, view the world?
The old man who is gradually unable to keep up with the times, slapped his sparse forehead and made a decision that affects the whole world?
In the name of morality, he is crazy for his own desires?
I am innocent, but the sins are all over the world?
This world will function normally without anyone, and the sun will rise as usual. But the higher the position, the less aware of this. The illusion brought by powerful power makes them begin to ignore the voices of ordinary people and always take it for granted.
Qi Xuansu has never told others about some of his ideas, and always says something correct.
But Zhang Yuelu is an exception.
When the Heavenly Master stopped Zhang Yuelu's new policy, Qi Xuansu said half jokingly and half comfortingly: "The old man has an old mind, don't argue with them. When we get to the position, we will change their set, and they can't do anything. This world is theirs, and it is ours, and it will be ours after all."
Old mind is Qi Xuansu's evaluation.
The old man is a double-edged sword. Experienced people must have an old mind at the same time, and you can't have both.
Youth is an advantage, and the disadvantage is a shallow foundation.
If Qi Xuansu was a second-tribulation immortal who could dominate the world, it would be hard to say how he would express his views on this world.
When the flying boat landed with a bang, Qi Xuansu finally returned to Yujing after a long absence.
A few months is not a short time. The last time he came back, he was still with Huangfu Ji, and he had a lot of responsibilities, reporting and going to the Golden Palace. Unlike this time, he was free from official duties.
However, others obviously would not think that Qi Xuansu is really an ordinary immortal now.
A group of people from Ziwei Hall, including Chen Jiangou, came to welcome Qi Xuansu, and the scene was quite large.
There were even spiritual officials responsible for evacuating the crowd and keeping on alert.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that with the "Sky Mansion" and the dispatch of spiritual officials, this was a big shot at the level of a Canzhi Immortal coming to the capital.
Qi Xuansu had not expected such a scene. He wanted to criticize it for being too ostentatious, but then he changed his mind. Wu Niang was still on the boat. Even if he was not yet a Chanzhi Zhenren, Wu Niang was a real Pingzhang Da Zhenren. There was nothing wrong with using the boat to welcome Wu Niang. He could not cancel the treatment given to Wu Niang on his own initiative.
So Qi Xuansu asked Wu Niang to go first, and he followed behind, and then Deputy Hall Master Xu, Lu Yujue and others.
In fact, these people are really here to greet Qi Xuansu. After all, it has been decided that Qi Xuansu will be promoted to the Supreme Master, sooner or later.
But they didn't expect Qi Xuansu to be cautious and give this treatment to Wuniang. The key point is that none of them know Wuniang, especially the people from Ziweitang. They have been in contact with personnel in Yujing for a long time. , All of you, Master Pingzhang, all know each other. Who is this? Never seen it.
I couldn't help but be a little confused.
It was Deputy Hall Master Xu who found out what was going on and immediately said loudly: "This is Jinque's newly appointed Great Master Pingzhang!"
After saying this, the people in Ziweitang immediately understood, and they were still a little scared: "Master Qi is still prudent, and a big problem almost happened."
Isn't it going to be a big problem to leave Master Pingzhang alone and go to meet Master Qi Xuansu, the quasi-censored master? Master Pingzhang was dissatisfied and thought it was Qi Xuansu who ordered them to do this. It was a loss of face for him, and Qi Xuansu would naturally not accept their favor, offending both parties.
Chen Jianchou helped Qi Xuansu open the car door, and Qi Xuansu ordered: "I'm in the same car with Da Zhenren, and you accompany Assistant Manager Lu."
Chen Jianqiu responded and walked to the second car.
Qi Xuansu got into the car and asked, "Wu Niang, are you going back to Zixiao Palace? Or do you have other plans?"
Wu Niang thought for a while: "To be honest, I am really tired of Zixiao Palace. After living here for hundreds of years, I would never get tired of anyone else. I have also visited Kunlun Cave. By the way, I heard that you have a new house? "
Qi Xuansu smiled and said: "If Wu Niang is willing to condescend to go, the humble house will be full of glory."
Wuniang said: "Well, let's go to your house first."
Qi Xuansu was going to go home first and tidy up before going to see Master Donghua.
Poor little Yin still doesn't know that her happy days are coming to an end.
Qi Xuansu had no time to care about her. Wu Niang was very free. In a sense, Wu Niang was like a grown-up Xiao Yin.
The convoy entered Yujing in a mighty manner and was quickly divided into several groups. After all, they were going to different places and not everyone lived in Taishangfang.
The carriage stopped in front of the gate of Princess Xuanzhen's mansion. Qi Xuansu saw Xiao Yin walking with a young woman at a glance.
Qi Xuansu got off the carriage and called Xiao Yin. Xiao Yin saw Qi Xuansu and ran over immediately. The woman stood there without moving, but hesitated for a moment, saluted Qi Xuansu from afar, then turned and left.
Qi Xuansu was a little strange, and suddenly remembered who this woman was. Wasn't she Princess Chiying? We met once during his apprenticeship ceremony and also met once in the Imperial Capital.
This is even more strange. How come Princess Chiying is with Xiao Yin? What is Li Changge’s intention?
Qi Xuansu asked: "Xiao Yin, why are you with Princess Chiying?"
Xiao Yin asked back: "Who is Princess Chiying?"
Qi Xuansu said: "That's the woman who was with you just now."
Xiao Yin said: "Is she a princess? She said her name is Qin Henghua, and she also said calling her by her first name is insulting, so she asked me to call her cousin Hua Wan. By the way, Lao Qi, what is your cousin's name?"
Qi Xuansu said: "My cousin is Tianyuan."
"Okay, Tianyuan." Xiao Yin said, "I will call you Tianyuan from now on."
Qi Xuansu patted her head: "Do you want to rebel against Tiangang?"
Xiao Yin always goes off topic when talking: "She said that I am a married woman, so I don't have a cousin at this age. Lao Qi, what is my cousin?"
Qi Xuansu responded casually: "Your nickname is 'Wan Miao' and your nickname is 'Dabai'."
Then Qi Xuansu realized something was wrong and returned to the topic: "No matter who she is, why are you with her?"
"Isn't that a neighbor? Lao Zhang said that if there is harmony between neighbors, we should have a good relationship." Xiao Yin spoke plausibly and already knew how to use Zhang Yuelu's words to silence Qi Xuansu.
At this moment, Wu Niang, who had been silent until now, suddenly appeared and grabbed Xiao Yin.
Xiao Yin was frightened and struggled hard, but how could her cultivation level be compared with that of Wuniang? Naturally, she couldn't break free.
Wu Niang raised Xiao Yin in front of her and looked left and right with interest, a little curious.
Xiao Yin was like a large toy in Wu Niang's hands.
It cannot be said that Wu Niang has never seen children, but children like Xiao Yin are special, and even the first two generations of Emperor Liu cannot generalize.
Xiao Yin could clearly sense Wu Niang's power, and was obviously a little frightened. She was grinning, but she didn't dare to cry if she wanted to.
As an elder who was older than the first generation of Emperor Liu, Wu Niang naturally couldn't bully the younger ones, so she quickly hugged her and coaxed her a few times. Not to mention, she was quite impressive.
Xiao Yin was no longer so afraid and became bolder again: "Who are you?"
Wu Niang replied: "I am Wu Niang."
Xiao Yin asked curiously: "Are you Qiniang's sister?"
Wu Niang laughed: "What do you think?"
Qi Xuansu said: "Okay, Wu Niang and Qiniang have nothing to do with each other. Don't stand here, go in first."
Xiao Yin kept asking: "Who is Liu Niang? Is there any Sanniang?"
Qi Xuansu was annoyed and said: "If you are a third person, you can also be called Sanniang."
Xiao Yin was shocked: "Scared! Why didn't I know?"
