Chapter 180: Meeting Gift

Looking at this calligraphy, Zhang Yuelu could not help but think of the Fenglinzhou war that was about to begin.

It was just that the use of troops against Fenglinzhou was a matter that the three deputy masters and Jinque agreed unanimously, so the key point was not "ominous weapon", but "using it when necessary".

This Fenglinzhou war was not the original intention of the Taoist sect, but an emergency. On the surface, the Taoist sect did use troops when they had to. If the war is won, the biggest beneficiary will be the Taiping Dao, and it is hard to say whether the Taiping Dao had already laid out the plan to keep the enemy and protect itself.

If they really want to lay a hidden line, they will not take action until the last minute. It may be that the foreshadowing was laid in the previous generations, and it was not until this generation that the foreshadowing was revealed. The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade.

From this point of view, the aristocratic family has many disadvantages, but it can do very well in maintaining the consistency of decision-making, especially the family with orderly inheritance and strong cohesion like the Li family. There is almost no possibility of the death of the people and the end of the government, and there will be no change of orders every day.

To put it bluntly, Zhang Yuelu suspected that the Li family had instigated the Fenglinzhou war. In ancient and modern times, military merit is the most important and the fastest to see results. Other things such as finance and administration are difficult to be as immediate as military merit.

But Zhang Yuelu did not ask the doubts in her heart, because she knew that even if she asked, the Heavenly Master would not tell her. If the Heavenly Master wanted to tell her, he would tell her on his own initiative. And judging from the current situation, it doesn't make any sense whether it is or not. The Taoist sect cannot lose this battle.

Unanimous against the outside world is one of the few remaining consensuses of the three sects. This "outside world" probably does not include the Great Xuan court. In a sense, the court is also part of the Taoist sect. The Taoist sect is the upper sect, in charge of ghosts and gods, and the court is the lower sect, facing the people.

But this "outside" must include Fenglinzhou. In the last war in the Western Regions, Taiping Dao, as the farthest sect from the Western Regions, did not participate much. The main force was Quanzhen Dao. This is also the reason why Ning Lingge, as the Quanzhen Dao's assistant, served as the Tiangang Hall's head for a period of time. Taiping Dao did not drag Quanzhen Dao's feet at this time. In addition, in order to prevent the two sects from being hindered or backstabbed, Taiping Dao will definitely tie the other two sects to the chariot.

Sure enough, external enemies are always the best way to unite the internal. It is no wonder that when internal contradictions cannot be reconciled, wars are launched to divert contradictions, which is always successful.

While Zhang Yuelu was thinking, Tianshi just looked at this most promising granddaughter peacefully. Tianshi did not marry and have children, so naturally he had no granddaughters, but he was the patriarch and head of the Zhang family, so all the Zhang family girls with the "Yue" generation were his granddaughters. Parents and children are only separated by a generation, and there is a huge gap. There are two gaps between grandfathers and grandchildren, which cannot be crossed at all. However, probably because of the distance, the grandfather and grandchildren do not have too sharp conflicts, and can produce a little beauty and often live in harmony. It is probably that the grandfather generation thinks that the grandchildren are ignorant children, so they don't care. The grandchildren think that the grandfather generation is old and confused, and they don't care. Take a step back and the world will be broad.

"Tianshi." Zhang Yuelu said softly.

Tianshi waved his hand: "I said, use honorifics in front of people, but don't do so in private."

Zhang Yuelu smiled: "Aweng."

Father is called "Adie", and grandfather is "Aweng".

Zhang Yuelu couldn't help thinking, what would Li Changge call him when he met the national teacher? Both of them are "Chang" generation, and they will not call him "Big Brother" or "Axiong", which is a bit funny.

Zhang Yuelu was about to speak, and suddenly felt the "Zhongji Jinglu" vibrate.

She glanced at Tianshi.

Tianshi waved his hand, indicating that she could contact directly.

Zhang Yuelu walked to a corner nearby and unfolded the "Zhongji Jinglu". It was Qi Xuansu. The background was the gate of Zixiao Palace. Zhang Yuelu immediately knew that it was Qi Xuansu who was blocked outside the gate of Zixiao Palace.

Zhang Yuelu briefly talked to Qi Xuansu, closed the "Zhongji Jinglu", and looked at the Heavenly Master: "Aunt, I want to bring someone in."

"The son-in-law of the Zhang family who jumped for you?" The Heavenly Master joked.

Zhang Yuelu was a little embarrassed in front of the elders: "What son-in-law? Those gossipers spread it all."

The Heavenly Master smiled and said: "I said, there is a son-in-law of the Zhang family that I, the head of the Zhang family, have never seen. That is really a new and strange news. Since he has arrived, please invite him in. Don't let him wait outside all the time. If the gossipers see him, they will think that our Zhang family does not know the etiquette of entertaining guests."

After that, the Heavenly Master wrote another hand order to Zhang Yuelu.

Although this kind of hand order from the deputy headmaster is not as good as the pass token in Zhang Yuelu's hand, it can be regarded as a temporary pass.

Zhang Yuelu took the hand order and turned to leave the Biyou Palace.

Qi Xuansu, who was waiting outside the Zixiao Palace, had nothing to do. He could only walk slowly around the Yaochi and occasionally look up at the huge ship on the lake that looked like a small mountain.

After the Spring Festival, it is spring. The Imperial Capital is still covered with snow, but the Jade Capital is like spring all year round. However, because the terrain of Zifu is the highest, standing here, you can even vaguely see the mountains in the distance, and the scene of snow drifting on the Jade Mountain.

Such a contrasting scene can be said to be rare in the world.

Qi Xuansu simply admired the beautiful scenery of Kunlun here until Zhang Yuelu came behind him and patted his shoulder.

"Deputy Hall Master Qi, I have kept you waiting for a long time. The Heavenly Master invites you." Zhang Yuelu was in a good mood and did not speak as rigidly as usual.

Qi Xuansu immediately sensed Tianshi's attitude from Zhang Yuelu's tone, and he breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he passed the test of Tianshi, the rest of the Zhang family would have nothing to worry about.

It is true that there are many Zhenzhi Zhenren, Zhenzhen, and even Pingzhang Dazhen within the Zhang family, but they are neither Zhang Yuelu's direct relatives nor the heads of the Zhang family. Even if they object, they are suspected of being unfair. In other words, Zhang Yuelu himself agreed, Zhang Yuelu's immediate family members agreed, Zhang Yuelu's master agreed, and the patriarch in charge of the entire Zhang family also agreed. If you don't agree, what do you do?

Qi Xuansu naturally gained confidence, but then suddenly remembered that Zhang Yuelu asked him to think carefully about how to face the Heavenly Master. He seemed to be unprepared, and he didn't even have a decent gift.

Qi Xuansu hurriedly told Zhang Yuelu his worries.

Zhang Yuelu waved his hand: "Forget it, you are a junior and you are so poor. What kind of gift should I prepare? Maybe the Heavenly Master will give you a meeting gift."

After saying that, Zhang Yuelu showed the Heavenly Master's order to the spiritual officer guarding the gate, and led Qi Xuansu into the Zixiao Palace.

To be fair, there is a big gap between the Zixiao Palace and Qi Xuansu's imagination. He originally thought it was a beautiful scenery in the sky, but in fact it is not the case. As the residence of the Grand Master and the three deputy Masters, the Zixiao Palace naturally has the atmosphere of an immortal family. But it didn't give Qi Xuansu a big shock. But then he thought about it and realized that Taishang Taozu said that I have three virtues, which are compassion and frugality, and I dare not be the first in the world. Since I advocate frugality, I naturally cannot create the style of a heavenly palace or an immortal palace. That is self-defeating. face.

In a broad sense, the Zixiao Palace is very large. When Qi Xuansu entered the gate, he did not see the Grand Master's Zixiao Palace. He only saw a lake along which the palaces of the four masters were distributed.

Zhang Yuelu led Qi Xuansu to the west. There were many spiritual officers guarding him along the way. However, after seeing Zhang Yuelu, they did not stop them and let them all pass.

This made Qi Xuansu realize that although the current Taoist priests in the Taoist Three Shows are not high-level and their positions are not very high, they do contain huge energy. Take the Zixiao Palace as an example. If an ordinary Shenzhi master came in, he might not be able to walk so smoothly, but Zhang Yuelu, a third-grade Youyi Taoist priest, did it. The profound meaning is naturally self-evident.

Qi Xuansu reminded himself that although many people now say that he is the fourth best player, it can be seen from such small things that there is still a huge gap between him and the third best player, and he cannot get carried away.

When he came to Biyou Palace, Qi Xuansu felt a little familiar. After thinking about it for a while, he found that the layout here was somewhat similar to that of Shangqing Palace in Yunjin Mountain.

Soon, Qi Xuansu was led by Zhang Yuelu to the Tianshi's study.

The Heavenly Master was still standing behind the desk, not sitting down, but Qi Xuansu hurriedly saluted.

The Celestial Master was very kind and spared Qi Xuansu's courtesy: "I am only meeting you as a grandfather this time, not as a Celestial Master, so there is no need to be too formal."

The Heavenly Master meant that Qi Xuansu should only uphold the etiquette for treating his elders, and there was no need to bring out the same behavior when facing the deputy headmaster Da Zhenren.

Qi Xuansu followed the good and followed the flow.

The Heavenly Master asked Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu to sit down, chatted a few more words, and then actually gave Qi Xuansu a meeting gift.

It was just this meeting gift that made Qi Xuansu almost jump.

The Heavenly Master took out a file and handed it to Zhang Yuelu, and then said: "A few days ago, after Jinque passed the resolution on Xuan Su serving as the third-grade deputy hall master, Feng Xiantang received a letter of report. Such a thing, Feng Xian Tang should have handled it alone, but as it concerned Yue Lu, it was sent to my desk."

Qi Xuansu's heart tightened.

It’s not because Tianshi calls him by his first name. Tianshi is the elder among elders. Calling juniors by their names instead of words is not an insult, but it is in line with the rules. The key is that the report letter mentioned by Tianshi was something he did in the past. Are those things exposed? No, this kind of matter should usually be handed over to Beichen Hall. How could Fengxian Hall handle it alone? Is it also related to Zhang Yuelu?

Zhang Yuelu had already opened the file. After turning a few pages, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, and then handed the file to Qi Xuansu.

After Qi Xuansu read it, he almost got into a fight.

The matter in the file is very simple. A woman reported that Qi Xuansu had been flirting with her and then abandoned her. She said that the two were classmates during the Wanxiang Taoist Palace. As early as that time, the two had tasted the forbidden fruit and made a private decision for life. The woman also She aborted a child for Qi Xuansu. Later, Qi Xuansu went to Yujing and lost contact. Later, when Qi Xuansu entered the Tiangang Hall, she came to see Qi Xuansu, but by that time Qi Xuansu had been favored by Zhang Yuelu and climbed up the high branches of the Zhang family. Then Qi Xuansu became a betrayer, ignoring her, and even treated her a few times. A threat...

You can imagine Qi Xuansu's anger. He just wants to do it. The key is that he keeps his integrity like a jade. Even Zhang Yuelu didn't succeed. This woman's red mouth and white teeth were stained by him. The key is that this kind of thing is like yellow mud. If it falls in the crotch, it is either shit or shit.
