Qi Xuansu asked: "Let's not tell you who I am, do you still know who you are?"
The Taoist priest in charge grinned: "Of course I know who I am. I am Tian Yongfen, the Taoist priest in charge here. I have the final say here."
Qi Xuansu asked again: "Then do you know where this place is?"
Tian Yongfen said: "This is my territory."
He was so drunk that he couldn't control his mouth.
Qi Xuansu nodded: "So this is your territory."
No one could tell that these words were wrong. Ke Qingqing and Han Yongfeng seemed to be looking at a dying person.
It's not that Qi Xuansu is going to kill people, but the future of the Taoist priest in charge may be completely dead.
Tian Yongfen only heard that a fourth-grade Taoist priest came to offer wine, and because Jiuzhuang was a coward, he didn't take it seriously. The key is that he was drinking with the beauty while concentrating on studying the Buddhist scriptures of Borneo and discussing the differences between the Buddhist scriptures of Borneo and the Buddhist scriptures of the Central Plains. However, he was repeatedly interrupted at an important moment. You can imagine the anger in his heart, and he also deliberately wanted to do so. Leave them to dry.
It has been said that Jiang Qiang's dragon does not overwhelm local snakes, everyone is a four-level sacrificial wine????????????Taoist priest, you are not even a river-crossing dragon, why are you so crazy? If you really offend me, Master Dao will make it impossible for you to leave Bainang Benfu.
Thinking of this, Tian Yongfen took advantage of the situation and put his arms around Qi Xuansu's shoulders: "Everyone here is a guest. Fellow Taoist, can we have a few drinks?"
Qi Xuansu's face was expressionless, neither angry nor disgusted. He just said: "You don't even know who I am, so you want to invite me to drink?"
"There is an ancient poem that goes well, it is necessary to know each other before we meet." Tian Yongfen became very dull because of his drunkenness, "By the way, who are you?"
Qi Xuansu said calmly: "My surname is Qi, my double name is Xuansu, Xuan is black and Su is white."
The entire lobby could hear a pin drop, and the deacon Taoist priest had a look of horror on his face.
"Qi, Xuan, Su." Tian Yongfen murmured, "This name sounds a bit familiar, as if I have heard it somewhere."
He scratched his head: "Qi Xuansu, Qi Xuansu, who the hell is he?"
At this point, the deacon Taoist priest could only bite the bullet and pull Tian Yongfen's sleeve.
"What are you doing?" Tian Yongfen waved his hand, very unhappy.
The deacon Taoist priest almost burst into tears: "Master, this is the name of the new deputy palace master. You cannot call him directly."
"What about the new deputy deputy governor..." Tian Yongfen's words stopped abruptly.
At this moment, the string in his mind that had been broken due to drunkenness was connected again.
In other words, he suddenly remembered who Qi Xuansu was.
The official document issued by the Taoist Palace clearly stated that the newly appointed second deputy palace master was named Qi Xuansu.
For a moment, Tian Yongfen felt a chill rising from his tailbone, then all the way up, through his spine and Fengchi point, and straight to the top of his head. His scalp almost exploded, like a awn on his back.
Tian Yong was so horrified that he sobered up.
The great fear almost overwhelmed him, and he was like a drowning man.
His whole body froze, and he turned his head with difficulty like a machine man, trying to take back the arm on Qi Xuansu's shoulder, but this body didn't seem to be his, and he wouldn't obey his orders.
In the end, his weak legs saved him and he sat down directly on the ground.
Ke Qingqing had already taken out the photo stone that he had prepared long ago and completely recorded the scene in front of him.
Qi Xuansu looked down at Tian Yongfen condescendingly: "Master Tian, can you tell me now what you did last night?"
"I, I, I... you, you, you..." Tian Yongfen's lips were trembling, his tongue was almost tied, and he couldn't say a complete sentence.
Qi Xuansu suddenly emphasized his tone: "Let me ask you again, what did you do last night?"
Tian Yongfen was startled, his mind was completely turned into a mush due to fear and hangover, but he stopped stuttering, and subconsciously replied: "I, I was reading Buddhist scriptures last night."
Qi Xuansu asked again: "What Buddhist scripture is it?"
"Yes, yes, yes..." Tian Yongfen was speechless.
The so-called "reading Buddhist scriptures" is actually a slang. When some daughters of poor families grow up, they are sold into monasteries and become so-called "holy girls." They are essentially no different from prostitutes. When they were young, they served the elders and sold their bodies. When she got old, she retreated behind the scenes and became something like a madam, advising the next generation of young saints.
In fact, all the major sects have some dark histories in matters between men and women. The Taoist sect once severely criticized the ancient Taoist sect's Fangzhongshu. Since the beginning of Taoism, the relationship between men and women has been stricter, which can affect their future at every turn, so some Taoist priests have to seek help from outsiders, especially Taoist priests stationed abroad. The sky is high and the emperor is far away, and they are the most unscrupulous.
"You want to switch to Buddhism? So you made preparations early?" Qi Xuansu could probably guess what "reading Buddhist scriptures" meant. After all, Tian Yongfen's makeup and makeup could not fool anyone, but he still pretended not to understand.
Tian Yongfen was so excited that he woke up completely. He would only be handed over to Fengxian Hall for messing with women, but if it was related to apostasy, he would be handed over to Beichen Hall. The former would still have a way to live, but the latter would be dead. He He quickly said: "It's not this Buddhist scripture, it means drinking with a woman."
Qi Xuansu said coldly: "Is it just drinking?"
Tian Yongfen could only say: "We also... practiced Fangzhongshu together."
Qi Xuansu snorted softly: "You neglected your duties and became a prostitute and drank too much. What crime should you do?"
Tian Yongfen had nothing to say, and his whole body softened.
Qi Xuansu looked at the deacon Taoist priest again: "Go and invite the local deputy palace master!"
The deacon Taoist priest rolled on the ground and ran outside.
The distance between the state palace and the mansion is not too far. The deacon and Taoist priest came here quickly, and because they were all familiar faces, they were not blocked.
It is said that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. If the people below have such a style, you can imagine the behavior of your immediate superior.
There is a two-story building deep in the state palace, hidden in the jungle, the size of which is no different from an ordinary women's embroidery building. Entering it, the first floor is nothing, but the second floor is a different world. The floor of the room is made of a whole piece of red sandalwood that is one inch thick, two feet wide and about ten feet high. The entire second floor is empty, except for the middle part. There is a large flat bed with a length and width of one foot. There is a mahogany piano table on the bed, and there are stove bottles and things around it, burning fine ambergris, and the smoke is faint.
A female Taoist priest was dancing barefoot, and a disheveled male Taoist priest sat in front of the piano table. He stretched out his fingers and gently played with the strings twice. The sound of the piano was crisp and clear.
The green smoke from the incense burner next to the guqin was blowing in front of him, making the male Taoist priest's face look slightly pale. The sound of the piano was getting louder and louder. His slender fingers were pressing the strings while playing. He was obviously a person who was proficient in music theory. And his attainments are quite impressive.
It's not that the two of them were in such a good mood early in the morning. They obviously didn't sleep all night. Anyway, they have cultivation skills and are full of energy. Even playing for three days and three nights is nothing.
At this moment, a noise appeared in the sound of the piano, which was the timid voice of a Taoist priest in charge: "Deputy Palace Master."
The male Taoist pressed the strings with both hands, and the sound suddenly stopped.
There was immediately no sound downstairs.
The male Taoist suppressed his anger and asked, "What's the matter?"
The voice downstairs became more and more cautious: "Deputy Palace Master Qi, Qi Cixian is here and is over there at the palace..."
The male Taoist priest was the local deputy palace master Zheng Jiaohe. He had naturally met Qi Xuansu at the reception banquet that day. If Qi Xuansu is only the second deputy palace master, then he has the headmaster and the chief as his backers, so he has nothing to fear. The key is that Qi Xuansu is rumored to have a special mission for Jinque, and that is another matter. In Taoist slang, Golden Tower is also called Tianque. If you are not careful, it will lead directly to Tianque.
The female Taoist priest had stopped dancing. Without Zheng Jiaohe's instructions, she took the initiative to come behind him and knelt down to help him comb his hair. She was gentle and petty, without the slightest bit of toughness of a female Taoist priest. However, the two are not husband and wife. This female Taoist priest is actually a deacon Taoist priest, considered a female subordinate.
The voice outside the building rang again: "Also... Mr. Tian was caught red-handed by Qi Cixi."
Zheng Jiaohe snorted heavily.
The sounds outside the building were quiet again.
Soon, Zheng Jiaohe had already combed his hair into a bun. He did not wear a crown, but pinned it with a jade hairpin.
The two stood up, and the female Taoist helped Zheng Jiaohe straighten his clothes. Her slender fingers traced Zheng Jiaohe's chest, her eyes moving.
Zheng Jiaohe said in a low voice: "You should go and have a rest first. This Qi Cixi is not an economical person. Tian Yongfen succeeds more than he fails, and he is caught doing it, and he has to endure hardships."
The woman said softly, "Hmm", and took out another sachet and stuffed it into Zheng Jiaohe's waist: "This is a specially made ink-scented sachet, mixed with some cinnabar. Don't let the Qi Ci seat smell any other smells." , so that Mr. Qi can know that the deputy palace master is busy with official duties all night long."
"It's better that you are careful." Zheng Jiaohe smiled.
Soon, Zheng Jiaohe arrived at the mansion. Before anyone could enter the door, he heard: "Sin, sin!"
Qi Xuansu followed the call and saw that the deputy palace master had a slightly darker complexion and a bit of anger between his eyebrows. Although he had a smile on his face, he seemed to be smiling but not smiling, so he was obviously not a good person.
Before Qi Xuansu could ask, Zheng Jiaohe had already taken the initiative and said: "There are more than a dozen ships from Shibotang coming from Lingnan. They were stuck when they were crossing the border. They asked for transit fees. The matter has become big. I I had to go there in person, I just came back this morning, but I didn’t expect that Qi Cixi had already arrived.”
Qi Xuansu asked: "Who is so bold as to dare to jam Shibotang's ship?"
Zheng Jiaohe smiled: "The King of Hell is easy to meet, but the kid is difficult to deal with. They are all people from the local government, not our Taoist government."
Qi Xuansu nodded: "That's it."
It was only then that Zheng Jiaohe turned his gaze to Tian Yongfen, who was lying softly on the ground, and pretended to be surprised: "This is..."
Qi Xuansu said: "This landowner is a subordinate of Deputy Palace Master Zheng. He is so arrogant that he made me wait for him here all night. It turns out that he read some Buddhist scriptures last night and was very drunk. I I didn’t do anything to him, he’s just here sobering up.”
Zheng Jiaohe seemed to have just learned about this, his eyebrows stood up and he shouted angrily: "Nonsense!"
