Blue sky, white beach, green coconut trees.
There is also a warm climate and endless sea.
This is a scene that is destined to be hard to see in Yujing and Imperial Capital.
The four-mile-long white beach is all privately owned. Along the long plank road extending from the island to the pier, sharks and other large fish cruise nearby from time to time. When we arrived at the pier, there were tens of thousands of small fish along the sandy side, densely packed together, which was really beautiful.
At this time, on the deserted beach, there was a Central Plains-style bamboo lounge chair. A slightly plump figure was leaning on the lounge chair, with his chest exposed, wearing a straw hat, and a pair of hats that could cover most of his face. Sunglasses, enjoying the afternoon sun, drowsy.
A woman in cool clothes walked out from the direction of the coconut grove. Her upper body was just a tube top, and her lower body seemed to be covered with a layer of gauze. Her feet were bare and she was also wearing a pair of sunglasses. Her appearance could not be seen clearly. She stepped on the beach. Leave a trail of footprints.
"I said, are you still sitting here on the Diaoyutai?" The woman came to the lounge chair, put her hands on her hips, and there was a hint of displeasure in her tone.
The man on the recliner still had his eyes closed: "Is something wrong?"
The woman said angrily: "Nonsense."
The man was finally willing to pull down the sunglasses on his face, revealing a pair of lazy eyes: "If you have something to say, just tell me."
To be fair, the man is not ugly, but his slightly fat face makes his facial features a bit out of shape. Coupled with the high bulge like a woman's belly, he is obviously not a man who makes women's hearts flutter. At least he cannot win over Qi Muyu. The appetites of the old beauties who have countless people, on the contrary, fall into the category of disgusting faces in the eyes of the old beauties.
Old beauties either like men who are cute and have milky breasts to satisfy their motherly nature. Or she likes young, promising, heroic men who can give people a sense of security, to satisfy her little daughter mentality that has not faded away after decades of ups and downs.
Of course, the old beauties don't like it, and the young beauties may not like it either. Just like men, regardless of age, like young and beautiful women.
It was obvious that the coolly dressed woman had no sexual interest in this man. If the two of them had not grown up together, she would not have even bothered to deal with this fat man who was always thinking that everyone was drunk and I was alone.
The woman sighed: "Do you know what day it is today?"
"What day?" the fat man asked.
The woman suddenly raised her voice three times: "Today is the day when the new deputy palace master takes office."
The fat man blinked: "Then what?"
"Are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid?" The woman finally became a little angry. "I think you are just pretending to be stupid. Let me ask you, do you know who the new second deputy palace master is?"
The fat man closed his eyes again: "Who is Ai? I'm not going to be the second deputy director of the government. I'll take office as soon as I take office."
The woman sarcastically said: "You are such a light fart. The second deputy palace master is not looked down upon by you. Those who don't know better still think you are a little national master."
The fat man stopped talking, his face slightly stiff when there was no expression.
The woman couldn't help but stretched out her hand to tug on his ear: "I'm talking to you!"
The fat man finally got a little impatient and slapped the woman's hand away: "Okay, it's not the one with the surname Qi, I know. What's the fuss about?"
The woman glanced at the slap mark on the back of her hand and sneered: "Surnamed Qi? It would be easier if he were from the Qi family. I have heard from others that this person has a pretty good background. The surname Qi is just a cover, raised outside. , I don’t know why I didn’t enter the house. As for my original surname, it’s probably either Yao or Pei.”
"Ding Po Tian is just Yao Pei." The fat man said unhurriedly.
The woman was very happy: "Listen to what you mean, the eldest daughter of the Yao family is nothing. Yes, the eldest daughter of the Yao family lost to the small national master once, but looking at the entire Taoist sect, how many small national masters are there? The reporter said that the eldest daughter of the Yao family later made amends, but the dignified young imperial master was interrogated by Miss Yao in Jiangnan for more than a month."
The fat man finally sat up straight from the recliner and put his hands on his knees: "I don't mean to look down on Yao Pei. If I were in Yujing, I really wasn't a big deal. At least I couldn't be compared with the Miss Yao you call me. , let alone compare with that little national master. Our Taoist sect has two sayings, one is called Nan Zhang Bei Li, which refers to the Zhang family and the Li family, and the other is called Fu Ru Dong Hai Shou Bi Nan Shan, which refers to Taiping Dao and Quanzhen. Tao. Nanshan is Difeishan, the former deputy capital of Taoism and the foundation of Quanzhen Taoism. But this is not Yujing, nor Donghai and Nanshan, here It’s Borneo.”
"You are really crazy." The woman didn't know what to say, "Wang Danqing, I think you are a fake madman, but you are a real delirium!"
This fat man was Wang Danqing. When he heard what the woman said, he was not angry, but looked up to the sky and laughed: "This is a good statement. You are a fake madman, but a real delirium."
The woman couldn't help but kick him in the calf: "You can't hear a nice word, can you? I'm telling you seriously! If it weren't for the fact that we both grew up together, I would really be too lazy to care about you. I Let me tell you, if you are killed by someone named Qi, don’t ask me to collect your body.”
Wang Danqing finally put away his cynical smile: "Okay, let's get down to business."
The woman asked: "Do you know that at noon today, from the Grand Master to the Master, and to the other eight deputy palace masters, they all gathered in Sheji Palace to welcome the new second deputy palace master. Lord. Don't tell me that you are smarter than these people. They can't see that Qi is a loser, but you are the only one who can."
Wang Danqing said calmly: "The one with the surname Qi is the next best thing. The key is that Yao Shu, the chief deputy head of Ziweitang, also came here. In our Taoist sect, the Taoist hall has always been higher than the Taoist government, and Ziweitang is the The head of the nine halls, the second-in-command of Ziweitang is very important. The senior officials of the Borneo Taoist House do not look at the face of the monks or the face of the Buddha, even for the three words "Ziweitang". Come and greet me.”
The woman retorted: "Even if, as you said, it was mainly to welcome the chief deputy master of Ziwei Hall, then when have you ever heard that the chief deputy master of the hall personally sent a second deputy master to take office? Or a On behalf of the second seat, it would be great if Ziwei Hall sent a second deputy hall master. Why do you think this is? It cannot be that Chief Yao is too idle and wants to come down for a walk."
Wang Danqing did not answer directly: "I still say the same thing, it is one thing in Yujing, but it is another thing in Borneo."
The woman sighed: "I checked the origin of this Qi Cixi. I went to the Western Regions with Zhang Yuelu very early. I went through life and death. I was attacked by the Lingshan Witch Cult. In the end, I even faced the incarnation of Wu Luo. In order to save Zhang Yuelu, I almost survived. So Zhang Yuelu That’s when I was completely devoted to him. I participated in the second major Jiangnan case and fought against the Mingzhi Cult. I also participated in the Five Elements Mountain incident and made a lot of noise in the Imperial Capital. This time I even went to Fenglin Continent with the army. There, he defeated Zhang Yuelu, Li Changge, and Yao Pei, and was evaluated as the most accomplished person among the eight generations of disciples, so he was promoted to the second deputy palace master."
"It's not unreasonable for him to be promoted so quickly. It's not unreasonable for Master Donghua to like him and promote him. The head of the Zhang family is so proud and his eyes are raised to the sky. Didn't he recognize this son-in-law? Is it because the head of the Zhang family is so proud? Changed his temper? No! It was Zhang Yuelu who knew that he had found the treasure. Some people disagreed not because they looked down upon him, but because they thought highly of him, fearing that he would become Zhang Yuelu's helper and help Zhang Yuelu seize the treasure. Quan. So, this guy named Qi is really not some idiot. If you underestimate him, I’m really afraid you won’t know how to die in the future.”
Wang Danqing patted his belly: "The times have always made heroes. Qi Xuansu was able to flex his muscles mainly because he relied on the power of the Taoist sect. What if there was no power of the Taoist sect? Then he could rise to the top by himself. What big wave?”
"Yes, yes, yes, you are the only one who understands this truth." The woman squinted at him, "Is the whole world the land of the king, and the shore of the land is the land of the king? Sir, this king is not the king of the Wang family. Even if he relies on the power of the Taoist sect, even if this is not Yujing, is Borneo not the world of the Taoist sect?"
Wang Danqing said nothing and smiled playfully.
The woman continued: "You just mentioned the word 'power', so do you know what power is? Power is the people's hearts and the trend. Do you know how many people are waiting in line outside Sheji Palace at this time? From Da From the royal family of Yu State to envoys from various countries, chieftains and gentry from various places, as well as envoys from Western countries, representatives of the West Posas Company, envoys from Buddhism, special envoys from the Holy Court, and even some aristocratic families within the Taoist sect, all of them took action upon hearing the news. Before Qi Xuansu's flying boat left Yujing, they had already received the news and were thinking of ways to see Qi Xuansu. Some even went directly to Yujing to meet him in advance. Why did they do it? Isn't it just because of the word 'power'?"
Wang Dan smiled lightly and said: "It's really awesome. It's such a powerful force."
The woman took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling, obviously very angry with Wang Danqing's stubborn donkey.
Wang Danqing said softly: "Borneo does not allow such awesome people to exist."
The woman was so angry that she laughed and said, "You don't allow it even if you say it's not allowed? Why do you have that?"
Wang Danqing seemed to have heard a joke and laughed loudly, as if he couldn't get enough of it and was laughing loudly.
"Why are you laughing?" The woman couldn't stand his behavior the most.
Wang Danqing slowly stopped laughing, and then slowly stopped smiling. He waved his hand, as if he was taking the huge Borneo into his arms: "What is Taoism? Taoism is not a will, and Taoism is not a god. It is an organization, and it is also composed of individuals. Since we are people, we still have to share the pot."
Wang Danqing paused for a moment, and his tone suddenly became high-spirited: "The fifty-six prefectures and 210 counties in Borneo are carried on the shoulders of our Wang family. The real person in charge of the Borneo Taoist Prefecture is named Wang, not Qi. Borneo. The tens of millions of people in the continent are counting on our Wang family, not their Yao family, Pei family, nor Li family and Zhang family."
"When we come to Borneo, the dragon has to be coiled up and the tiger has to lie down."
