Chapter 165 Laba Congee (Part 2)

Qi Xuansu climbed horizontally on the bare cliff for a long time, and only after he completely left the scope of the Taoist temple ruins did he use his arms to climb to the top of the cliff.

At this time, Qi Xuansu's ten fingers were already bleeding, and even the bones were visible, and the nails were even more horrible. Fortunately, he had some martial arts magic, and both his strength and physique had made great progress, so he could crawl such a long distance at such a speed on the bare cliff without any tools.

Qi Xuansu exhaled a long breath of turbid air, and finally understood why Zhang Yuelu told him not to go out if he had nothing to do. It turned out that Zhang Yuelu had expected such a right and wrong.

Thinking of this, Qi Xuansu didn't care about anything else and got up and walked towards Zhang's house.

In fact, Qi Xuansu overestimated Zhang Yuelu. Zhang Yuelu really didn't expect that her mother and cousin would use this method to deal with Qi Xuansu. Her worry came from that unexplained bad premonition, but she really couldn't figure out where it came from. Although she had many enemies, such as the enemies from the Jiangnan case, Li Tianzhen who was swept by her face, etc., this is Yunjin Mountain after all. The Heavenly Master is now in the Great Immortal Mansion. Who dares to be so bold as to run to Yunjin Mountain to cause trouble? Even the Earth Master Xu Wugui dared to attack the Great Immortal Mansion when the Heavenly Master was not in the Great Immortal Mansion.

So Zhang Yuelu couldn't figure it out. It can't be that she had a premonition of danger in half a year, right? There is no such reason.

In the way of divination, the larger the time span, the more variables there are, and the success rate drops sharply, so many impulsive premonitions will not exceed two months. Zhang Yuelu calculated her itinerary for the next two months. Either in Yunjin Mountain or in Yujing, both are very safe places.

After Qi Xuansu returned to Zhang's house, he happened to meet Zhang Juqi.

Qi Xuansu had a good impression of this kind and polite Uncle Zhang, and was very polite and respectful, and took the initiative to stop and salute.

Zhang Juqi glanced at Qi Xuansu, his eyes fell on Qi Xuansu's ten fingers, and said meaningfully: "Don't think that Yunjin Mountain is a pure land. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are fights."

"I will teach you." Qi Xuansu said seriously.

Zhang Juqi said no more and went to do his own thing.

Qi Xuansu stood there, looking at Zhang Juqi's back, thinking.

He had an inexplicable intuition that this Uncle Zhang was not as simple as he seemed, and seemed to have some stories.

At this moment, someone patted Qi Xuansu from behind: "What are you looking at?"

Qi Xuansu turned around and found that it was Zhang Yuelu, and said in surprise: "Come back so early?"

Zhang Yuelu said: "After drinking Laba porridge, I slipped away. I don't want to act there."

"Act? What kind of play?" Qi Xuansu asked curiously.

Zhang Yuelu said, "Of course it's a play of loving father and filial son. At this time last year, the Heavenly Master was not in the Great Immortal Mansion, and I didn't come back either, but I heard others talk about it, and that was it. But this year is different. The Heavenly Master is here in person. After drinking Laba porridge, all the Zhang family members will naturally go to the Heavenly Master's knees to show their filial piety. Although the Heavenly Master has never married and has no biological children and grandchildren, he has more children and grandchildren than anyone else."

Qi Xuansu laughed dumbly and said, "Why didn't I realize that you are so unforgiving before."

Zhang Yuelu waved his hands, noticed Qi Xuansu's hands, and couldn't help asking, "What's going on?"

Qi Xuansu did not hide anything and told everything that happened just now, but did not express his guess, only saying that he felt strange: "Maybe I'm too suspicious."

Zhang Yuelu fell into deep thought and shook his head and said, "It's not that you're too suspicious. I was wondering why I didn't see Zhang Yuyue. What are they going to do?"

Qi Xuansu didn't speak.

At this moment, Zhang Yuelu had roughly figured out the conflict, and her tone became fierce: "This is too much bullying, how can we tolerate it!"

Qi Xuansu was very calm: "Qingxiao, don't get angry first, after all, there is no evidence."

Zhang Yuelu suppressed her anger and nodded: "My cousin has such courage, but not such a brain. I'm afraid there is someone behind the scenes."

Although Zhang Yuelu didn't say it clearly, both of them knew who Zhang Yuelu was talking about.

Zhang Yuelu said to himself: "It seems that my initial idea was not wrong. I can't stay in Shangqing Town for a long time. It's best to come back on New Year's Eve and leave on New Year's Day."

Qi Xuansu smiled helplessly: "It's not that bad."

Zhang Yuelu's good mood because of drinking Laba porridge has been ruined, and she directly asked Qi Xuansu to go to her room with her.

With the prosperity of Xinxue, women's boudoirs are no longer considered forbidden areas, but Qi Xuansu set foot in them for the first time. What disappointed Qi Xuansu was that because Zhang Yuelu didn't live here often, most of the things had been moved to Yujing's residence, so it looked extremely simple, with only a bed, a table, a screen and two embroidered cushions.

Zhang Yuelu motioned Qi Xuansu to sit down, and she sat across the table from Qi Xuansu.

Then Zhang Yuelu took out the ointment she bought from Huashengtang. Since she returned home, she began to use the ointment on time. Many of the wounds on her body have almost recovered, leaving no scars, only a faint red mark - this is because the color of the new skin is different, it will be fine after a while.

Qi Xuansu shook his head and said, "Not really, just some minor injuries, it will be fine after a while."

"Stretch out your hands." Zhang Yuelu seemed not to hear it, and said in an unquestionable tone.

Qi Xuansu had to stretch out his hands.

"That's it, don't move." Zhang Yuelu stood up and left. When he came back, he had a basin of water in his hand.

Zhang Yuelu first washed Qi Xuansu's hands with water, and then carefully applied ointment.

To be fair, Zhang Yuelu had never done anything like this before. Not to mention how gentle his movements were, they were even a little clumsy and even hurt Qi Xuansu. But for Qi Xuansu, a little pain is really nothing, and it is nothing compared to the warm pleasure that comes from it.

Zhang Yuelu spent a lot of effort to finish applying the ointment: "Okay, are you comfortable?"

Qi Xuansu felt carefully that after the initial pain, there was indeed a slight chill, which even accelerated the recovery speed of his flesh and blood to a certain extent. The wound that originally took three or four days to heal healed in about an hour. enough.

Zhang Yuelu said: "Just raise your hands like this and wait until the effect of the medicine is fully exerted before putting it down."

Qi Xuansu could only do as he was told.

…

Every New Year, a strange scene will appear in Daomen, that is, the number of people in Yujing begins to decrease, while the number of people in Zhenjing Courtyard, Wanshou Chongyang Palace, and Dazhen Palace will be much higher than usual.

Take the Dazhen Mansion as an example. Not all of them are children of the Zhang family. There are also many people related to the Zhang family who will come to the Dazhen Mansion. At this time, the frequency of flying boats will be increased.

A huge flying boat broke through the sea of ​​clouds and descended slowly, preparing to land in the lake outside Shangqing Palace.

A group of people had already stood by the lake, ready to greet them. The leader was Zhang Yuyue's father, the second-grade Taiyi Taoist Zhang Jucheng, who is now the master of the Shangqing Palace.

Although Zhang Jucheng is not Tianshi's biological son, Tianshi and Zhang Jucheng's father are brothers from the same mother. Moreover, because Tianshi has never married a wife and has no children, according to the clan inheritance system, Zhang Jucheng is still the one shouldering the responsibility. Two families were selected to inherit the family, so Zhang Jucheng was still considered the eldest family member.

After Zhang Jucheng's death, a group of people accompanying him were all high-grade Taoist priests, including Zhang Kuping, a third-grade Youyi Taoist priest who had met Qi Xuansu.

Zhang Jucheng and others all looked at the landing craft. They were all heavenly beings worthy of the name. With only a little bit of their breath, they were able to block out the majestic water vapor brought by the craft.

After the flying boat stopped, a staircase was lowered, and everyone on board got off the boat one by one.

Zhang Jucheng had already taken the initiative to greet him.

This flying boat is not an ordinary flying boat, but a special flying boat from the Wanshou Chongyang Palace. The boat is full of Quanzhen Taoists. They respect the orders of the Earth Master and go to the Da Zhenren Mansion in Yunjin Mountain to meet the Heavenly Master. In name, they are drinking Laba porridge is actually exactly the same as Qingwei Zhenren’s visit to Beijing to meet the saint.

In fact, eating Laba porridge is also divided into two sessions in the morning and evening. The first session is during the day, and is mainly attended by members of the Zhang family, that is, Zhang Yuelu participated this time. The second game was held in the evening, and only senior officials from Zhengyi and Quanzhen Dao participated. Although the number of people was smaller, the weight was heavier.

Among the people coming this time were the master of the Shuzhou Taoist Palace, the chief deputy master of the Qinzhou Taoist Palace, and the master of the Wuxu Palace, all of whom were second-grade Taiyi Taoist priests.

Zhang Jucheng had an old acquaintance with Qi Jiao, the head of Shuzhou Taoist Palace, and the Qi family from which Qi Jiaozheng was born was the Qi family from which Qi Xuansu was often misunderstood.

To be fair, if Qi Xuansu was really from the Qi family, he would be on equal terms with Zhang Yuelu. However, it is a pity that Qi Xuansu has no blood relationship with the Qi family. After all, he just followed his master's surname Qi.

After Zhang Jucheng and Qi Jiaozheng exchanged greetings, they walked in the front.

Behind are Zhang Jucheng's cousin Zhang Jianshu and the master of the Wuxu Palace.

Logically speaking, the master in charge of Wuxu Palace should correspond to the master in charge of Shangqing Palace. However, in the past, the master in charge of Wuxu Palace was concurrently held by Donghua, until Donghua became the master of Beichen Hall. After being promoted to the headmaster of Ziwei Hall, this real person who was originally one of the assistants took over. This real person is only a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest. He has not yet had the word "Shen Zhi" and is older than Zhang Jucheng. He and Qi Jiaozheng were lowered, so this time the Quanzhen Taoist visitors were led by Qi Jiaozheng from Shuzhou Taoist Prefecture.

One after another, Quanzhen Taoists left the flying boat.

The number of Zhengdaozhen responsible for welcoming them is also decreasing.

In the end, only Zhang Kuping was left.

Feizhou's stairs still haven't been removed.

A figure appeared.

Pei Xiaolou was wearing a Taoist formal suit and a lotus crown on his head, like a blooming lotus.

It is said that a man is judged by his clothes. At this time, Pei Xiaolou no longer had the slightest sense of obscenity, but rather looked quite chic.

Pei Xiaolou stood at the gangway and looked in the direction of Dazhen Mansion. He turned his face and smiled, looking at

It's hard to imagine that two people with such different personalities could become friends.
