Qi Xuansu asked softly: "What does this have to do with the so-called human bodyguards? Could they be the children of Marquis Fang Lin?"
"Of course not." Qiniang said, "Fang Linhou is involved in so many secrets and inside stories. How can those people behind him, including bosses, friends, colleagues, and subordinates, let his family go out? That's not the case. Something you can get involved in.”
Qi Xuansu breathed a sigh of relief.
Of course he knew that it was not something he could interfere with. With Zhang Yuelu's cultivation at such a high level and the care of Master Cihang, the Heavenly Master, and the Earth Master, he had a narrow escape from death. If he got involved rashly, wouldn't it mean that he would not survive even ten deaths?
It's like killing someone's parents. It's a life-and-death feud. Who cares what your background is and what your backers are.
Qi Xuansu asked: "Then who is it?"
Qiniang said: "The major case in Jiangnan involves not only one Fang Linhou, but also many people. Among those people, some actively participated, some passively participated, some killed people who were not unjust, and some innocently took the blame. People. They all know more or less the inside story, and they all have wives and children."
"What I want to talk about is a small character. He is just a person who does specific things. As early as when Beichen Hall first started investigating, he was silenced by his own people. He didn't even live to see the gate of Fengxian Hall. This man's wife died. , he only had one daughter. He seemed to have had a premonition, so he entrusted his daughter to someone else in advance, that is, the old friend I mentioned earlier. "
"Over the years, this old friend of mine has been taking care of the little girl, as if he had adopted an adopted daughter. But now something has happened, and my old friend needs to go on a long journey and cannot take the little girl with him. I don’t trust her. After all, over the years, someone has been trying to wrap things up, including the assassination of Zhang Yuelu. Do you understand what I say?"
Qi Xuansu nodded and said, "Understood."
Qiniang said: "There is no need to bother heaven and earth with this matter. It is too fussy, and the cost is too high. The asking price is too expensive, so it is not cost-effective. But the realm cultivation is too weak and it is also inappropriate. It is easy to lose one's life." .Now that you are on the Wishful List, you can also fight against those who are in the stage of returning to true nature, which is just right. What do you think?"
Qi Xuansu thought for a moment and said, "I think we can continue."
Qiniang said: "Okay, I will give you an address. You go to see him. He may try your skills. You should pay attention."
Qi Xuansu nodded to note it.
Qiniang wrote an address on the account book in her hand, then tore off the page from the account book and slapped Qi Xuansu on the forehead. The piece of paper was directly integrated into Qi Xuansu's body, and it also appeared in his mind. Corresponding content.
The specific address is somewhere in Longmen Mansion, Zhongzhou. It is accurate to the specific alley. Qi Xuansu will not let Qi Xuansu wander around like a headless fly looking for Bai Yutang.
Zhongzhou, as the name suggests, is among the world. Although this dynasty has not established its capital here, thirteen dynasties have established their capitals here in the past. In addition to emperors and generals, sages also emerged in endlessly. Taoism originated here, and Confucianism has its origins. Here, Confucian classics flourished here, Buddhism was first transmitted here, metaphysics was formed here, and Neo-Confucianism originated here. Therefore, Zhongzhou is known as the largest state in the world, and Longmen Mansion is the capital of Zhongzhou and the former capital of the Nine Dynasties. , Peony Flower City.
For Qi Xuansu, this is a second hometown that is both familiar and unfamiliar.
He said he was familiar with it because Longmen Mansion was where the Wanxiang Taoist Palace was located, and he spent his childhood and youth here.
It's strange because the lower palace of Wanxiang Dao Palace is isolated from the outside world and they can't go out.
It can be said that Qi Xuansu has lived in the land of Longmen Mansion for more than ten years, but he doesn't know anything about it. After growing up, he never came back.
Qi Xuansu is currently in Xiping Mansion in Yongzhou, and the journey to Longmen Mansion in Zhongzhou is not short. We must first go to Tianshui Mansion in Liangzhou, then go from Tianshui Mansion to Xijing Mansion in Qinzhou, then transfer from Qinzhou to Zhongzhou, and finally arrive at Longmen Mansion.
If you don’t count mountains and rivers, and only count official roads, the total journey is about three thousand miles. Even if Qi Xuansu traveled a thousand miles a day, it would still take three days. What's more, Qi Xuansu doesn't have the ability to travel thousands of miles a day. In the past, there was no "communication talisman formation". There was often talk of a few hundred miles expedited. The fastest could be five hundred miles a day, but the premise was that there was a station at twenty miles. Horses are constantly changed, so each horse can run at full strength, even if the horse is exhausted, and it still runs day and night.
Qi Xuansu didn't have this condition, and he didn't want to tire himself or his horse to death. He could walk at most two hundred miles a day, and excluding overnight stays, it was about a hundred miles a day.
Calculated in this way, three thousand miles is a journey of nearly a month, or twenty days at the fastest.
After Qi Xuansu roughly estimated the time, he asked: "I used to take a month, can he wait?"
Qiniang said: "You can wait. He is a stable person. He will not think of arranging these things until the last moment. They are all arranged in advance. So he still has two months. As long as you can arrive within two months, That’s it.”
Qi Xuansu asked again: "What's the specific reward?"
Qiniang stretched out a finger: "One thousand Taiping coins is enough for you to buy 'Yu Ye Liquor'."
Qi Xuansu said: "Okay, that's it."
"Then I will send him a message immediately, and you should be ready to go." Qiniang's own golden and purple fish talisman appeared in Qiniang's hand. As long as the connection is established, even if the "dream meeting" is not in the "dream meeting", she can still send messages and messages through the fish talisman.
After saying goodbye to Qiniang, Qi Xuansu left the "Dream Meeting" and began to prepare for the next journey.
…
After Shangguan Jing's body was brought back, Jinque reached a consensus that there would be no accountability, but praise and honor after death.
So Shangguan Jing's body passed through Shangqing Street and passed Taiqing Square, and was transported to Xuandu, where it lay dormant for seven days and was liberated by the Taoist priests of the Ancestral Hall. Then it was transported to the Requiem Department of the Ancestral Hall. Burial in cemetery.
During the seven days when the spirit was suspended, all the spiritual masters came to pay homage one after another. It was an unprecedented grand occasion. But everyone understands that this is a stage built for funerals, and the good show has not yet started.
Sure enough, the day after Shangguan Jing was buried, Jinque held another meeting with only one purpose. If you don’t hold the dead accountable, of course you have to hold the living accountable. The first person to bear the brunt is the real person in charge of Tiangang Hall.
It involves a Master Shenzhi, which is a big deal. The Celestial Master who has been dormant in the Dazhen Mansion of Yunjin Mountain, and the Earth Master who has just returned to the Wanshou Chongyang Palace in Difei Mountain, all returned to Zi Mansion to participate in this golden event. Que discussion.
For this, the leader of Tiangang Hall was well prepared, and he took the initiative to submit his resignation to Jinque.
It said: "I am ashamed of Jin Que, and I am ashamed of the disciples of Tiangang Hall who died. I can no longer be punished for my crime. How can I be worthy of being the leader of Tiangang Hall? Please allow Jin Que to remove me from Tiangang Hall." Lingge was so grateful that he burst into tears for the position of headmaster."
The signature is Ning Lingge, which is the name of the real person in charge of Tiangang Hall.
Jin Que, the national teacher's representative who is currently on duty as the Great Master, agreed to Ning Lingge's resignation, but he still retained his status as a counselor and could still participate in Jin Que's discussions.
The next step is to elect a new master of Tiangang Hall. On this matter, the three great masters have differences. The national master nominates master Qingwei, but the heavenly master and the earth master reach an agreement and jointly recommend Ci. Hang Zhenren became the new headmaster of Tiangang Hall. The reason was that Cihang Zhenren arrived in time and rescued "Ying Long" and other survivors. It was perfect for her to take over Tiangang Hall.
Although the National Preceptor was the Grand Master on duty, he could not veto the two deputy head masters alone. In addition, due to the great achievements of Master Cihang, he had no choice but to agree. As a compromise, the Heavenly Master and the Earth Master also agreed to another proposal from the National Master.
In this way, Master Cihang no longer serves as the master in charge of Duzhi Hall, but instead serves as the master in charge of Tiangang Hall. The original headmaster of Beichen Hall was changed to the headmaster of Qizhou Daofu, and Master Qingwei became the headmaster of Beichen Hall.
The jade seal of the Duzhi Hall is temporarily held by the chief deputy head of the Duzhi Hall. The specific candidate for the head of the hall will be postponed for further discussion.
