"I can't help myself." Qi Xuansu repeated softly, "It depends on you..."
"I said, let's talk about it, can we not take it from you?" Qiniang interrupted Qi Xuansu, "What happened to you today? Did you take the wrong medicine? One bite at a time. I felt uncomfortable hearing it. When did you Are you so polite? You are not from Dijing."
Qi Xuansu imitated Qiniang's tone and said, "It's different."
"Go away." Qiniang said angrily.
Qi Xuansu said: "Okay, no need to use the word 'you'. Judging from your usual arrogance, I thought you didn't care about anything and weren't afraid of anything."
Qiniang said: "It's not all pretending. Most of the time, there is really nothing to be afraid of. I am also qualified to be arrogant, but in some things, I still have to...position myself and have a sense of awe. "
"Stand your position and be in awe. Why do these two words sound so weird when they come out of your mouth? I always feel like you are being weird." Qi Xuansu joked, "Well, let's not mention this. Let's reminisce about the past."
Qiniang glanced at Qi Xuansu: "Reminiscing about old times? Are you trying to make a joke? You learned all these little tricks from me. How can you hide them from me?"
Qi Xuansu acted rogue and said, "Just talk about it or not."
"Then let's talk. Just don't ask anything from me, kid." Qiniang said nonchalantly.
Qi Xuansu opened his hands to show the breeze on his sleeves: "Qiniang, you really did what you said, leaving me penniless. I am really penniless now and have to rely on Zhang Qingxiao for help."
"That's right, you're ripping me off and hitting me on the head. I can't bear this tone." Qiniang said with a smile, "Although Qi Jiaoyao couldn't help you at that time, who would have thought that with the turn of events, there would eventually be a One day, you fell into my hands, and of course I had to fulfill the promise I made back then."
Of course, Qi Xuansu didn't mention this matter for no reason. It was just an introduction. He took advantage of the situation and said: "How can it be a blackmail? That is a fairy, half of you and half of me. You won't suffer at all. By the way, 'take the photo' Is the bone mirror still there? Was it confiscated by the Earth Master?"
Qiniang glanced at Qi Xuansu with a half-smile but not a smile: "Boy, are you testing me?"
Qi Xuansu said with a confused face: "What are you testing for?"
"Earth Master." Qiniang said two words, "This is what you care about most, right? But I'm going to disappoint you. What do you think this is?"
Qiniang took out a mirror from her sleeve. It was the "Bone Mirror", also known as the "Ancestral Dragon Bone Mirror". The reason why it is not included in the four great immortal objects of Zu Long is because it is only a semi-immortal object. , it was only after merging with Wuzhen's body that he was promoted to an immortal creature.
Qi Xuansu looked at the "Bone Mirror" and asked, "Why haven't I seen you use it?"
Qiniang said: "This is a life-saving thing. The key is to be unexpected. If it is used easily, others will be on guard. In addition, who do you think is worthy of my use? 'The proprietor? Or Wu Guangbi? Just these few things, kill chickens' Why use a butcher's knife?"
Qi Xuansu clicked his tongue and said, "You are so arrogant and powerful that people who don't know better would think you are a young man. What about Chen Shuhua?"
Qiniang said: "The key to facing Chen Shuhua is Patriarch Jin Gong. I just delay time. Besides, even if I use a bone mirror, I can't help Chen Shuhua. There is no need to use my own money to work for the public." , public and private matters must be separated.”
Qi Xuansu changed the subject: "Speaking of Chen Shuhua, I remember that I mentioned Chen Shuhua's matter to you in Lingshan Cave. You should have expected it."
"Of course I expected it, so you are all careless. I am not careless. I contacted Patriarch Jin Gong early and asked him to take care of the situation to prevent the situation from getting out of control. Isn't this enough?" Qiniang said confidently.
Qi Xuansu said: "I mean, why didn't you take down Chen Shuhua a few years in advance?"
Qiniang said: "I have two answers, one is the truth and the other is a lie. Which one do you want to hear?"
"Lies." Qi Xuansu said with great interest.
Qiniang Road
: "I deliberately kept her waiting for you to deal with it, otherwise why would you be promoted to the second-grade Taiyi Taoist Priest?"
Qi Xuansu asked again: "Where is the truth?".z.
"I can't care about it, and I can't control it." Qiniang said, "There are so many things in the world, and there are so many problems. How can I manage them? Compared with Chen Shuhua's problems, the ancient immortal problems, the Buddhist problems, and the holy court problems, All are more serious. Take Fenglinzhou as an example. Do you think it is possible that Daomen was not aware of the undercurrent in Fenglinzhou? But has Daomen started to solve it in advance? The same is true for the problem in Borneo, and it is more complicated. , involving so many people, Da Zhenren, Shenzhi Zhenren, Li family, you are among me, you are among me, as well as Buddhists, ancient immortals, and even Lord Buddha. I suddenly ran over to kill Chen Shuhua, and Not to mention whether others believe me or not, do you know how great the resistance is? Even Pei Xuanzhi won't be able to move lightly before the opportunity comes."
Qi Xuansu sighed: "It's understandable. Even if the Celestial Master saw the imperial crown falling, our Emperor Ziji Zhenren still wanted to reunite the Emperor and the Son of Heaven. Most of the time, people can neither If we learn from history, we will not prepare for a rainy day.”
Qiniang said: "After I die, no matter how great the flood is, I still place my hope on the people who come after me."
Qi Xuansu changed the topic: "When did you realize that I came from the future?"
"Not long after I left Lingshan Cave, I realized it. Because there was a problem with the flow of time inside Lingshan Cave, I felt trapped in Lingshan Cave for a long time, but in fact it was not that long. After I left the cave, I found that only a few hours had passed. It’s only the moon, and the world outside is still dominated by Pei Xuanzhi, Li Wugou, and Su Yuanyi. There is no Li Changge or Qi Xuansu at all, but I don’t think you are lying. After all, you took it for granted that I should have heard of you. After getting a negative response That kind of self-righteousness that implies surprise cannot be faked at all." Qiniang was still merciless.
Fortunately, Qi Xuansu was used to this level of sarcasm and didn't care at all: "So you went to investigate, especially since I still have the Heavenly Master's Qingyun."
Qiniang said: "The result of the investigation is that there is no such person as Qi Xuansu in the world, and the Heavenly Master's Qingyun has never been borrowed. The Heavenly Master used it to hack Zhang Wuhen and he has never left his body."
Qi Xuansu interjected: "It's the same thing as stealing. The Earth Master is so good-tempered that he didn't even give you a knife. If it had been the Heavenly Master, your life would have been in danger."
"The earth master is more merciful than the heavenly master?" Qiniang snorted, "I hope that after you get familiar with and understand the earth master, you can stick to your own point of view."
Qi Xuansu is not naive. He certainly does not think that the earth master is any better than the heavenly master or the national master. What he wants is to elicit Qiniang's words: "Since the earth master is not more kind than the heavenly master, then you have stabbed such a big person." In the basket, he took away the bone mirror, stole the heart of the longevity stone, and killed Yao Liu. How could the earth master let you go? If I were the earth master, even if I didn't kill you, I would still have to lock you up. Get up and confiscate all illegal gains."
Qiniang said: "I want to clarify one thing first. I didn't kill Yao Liu. I said at the time that nothing could die here. Yao Liu seemed dead, but I didn't destroy his life talisman. Then he It doesn’t count as death. Now you can still see him when you go to Lingshan Cave Heaven. Even if you want to reminisce about the past with him, that’s not impossible.”
"Secondly, how do you know that I didn't pay the price? It's just that the price was not my life. Furthermore, the Heavenly Master said that he killed Zhang Wuhen, but in the end he left her a glimmer of hope. Isn't Zhang Wuhen alive again now? She is making trouble again, talking about revenge, does the Heavenly Master care about her? After all, the sword the Heavenly Master used back then was for outsiders to see, and it was also a testimonial. You are a descendant of an immortal, why should the higher-ups of the Taoist sect trust you? ? How can you prove that you are not a two-faced person like Chen Shuhua? You have to take some practical actions. The Celestial Master gave his biological sister a sword. This is the certificate of surrender, so he can become the Celestial Master. Of course, this is also thanks to his surname Zhang. Without this If you don’t have a surname, you won’t even have the chance to submit your name.”
Qi Xuansu sighed with emotion: "To put it bluntly, this is a moral choice. I am very lucky that so far, I have not encountered such a moral dilemma to test my humanity. By the way, you just said that you paid the price, but this The price is not life, so what is the price?"
Qiniang took out the cigarette rod from her waist, lit the pot, took a deep breath, and smoke rings curled up: "Guess."
Qi Xuansu was already familiar with Qiniang's routines, so he was not surprised by this answer. He said, "I guess, based on your IQ, you can't guess my origin. Was it the Earth Master who pointed you out?"
Qiniang's tone turned cold: "What's wrong with my IQ? I'm a fool, how can you be any better?"
"Don't worry, that's not what I meant." Qi Xuansu waved his hand, "I didn't say I was a smart person either."
Qiniang made up her mind to seize this point: "I don't have a high IQ, but you are smart. I worked so hard to help you up, but instead you became the person you say has a low IQ. Yes, I do have a low IQ. If I had a high IQ, how could I choose a white-eyed wolf like you?"
Qi Xuansu said helplessly: "I don't care about martial ethics anymore, I'm just trying this trick again, I want to slide over again."
Qiniang turned her back, looked out the window, and wiped her face with her hands. She didn't know whether she was wiping away tears or covering her mouth and laughing.
Qi Xuansu couldn't help but sigh, he only had to deal with three women, Xiao Yin was the easiest to worry about, but even this most trouble-free one often got into trouble, such as going to find Yi Zangnuo Zun by himself, or tampering with "Return to Tibet" lamp". The other two, whether they were at odds or not, the key was that both of them had ideas. He often had to guess what they were thinking, which was quite tiring.
After a while, Qiniang probably couldn't stand it any longer, so she stopped pretending and started smoking openly.
Qi Xuansu said: "If you don't tell me, then I will take it as your acquiescence. The earth master pointed you out and let you know my origin. You are related to my master. My master's name is Qi Haoran. He comes from the Qi family. You once The pseudonym is Qi Jiayao, she also claims to be a member of the Qi family, and she lies that she is Qi Jiuzheng’s sister. What is the connection between them?"
Qiniang puffed smoke into Qi Xuansu's face and said, "Go and ask Qi Jiaozheng."
