Pawn Crossing the River
Chapter 169 Matchmaking
Of course there are some loopholes here.
For example, a Taoist couple is not equal to a husband and wife, so can a man’s Taoist partner be a man? After all, Long Yang's love has a long history. In the concept of scholar-bureaucrats, as long as they fulfill their responsibility to carry on the family line, it doesn't matter if they like men or women.
Theoretically speaking, the wife of the Grand Master can also be a man.
However, the power of tradition is powerful after all. Starting from Xuan Sheng, women have been the wives of the Grand Master, so this situation generally does not happen. Later, the fourth generation of great masters and the fifth generation of great masters were patched respectively. The fourth generation of great masters emphasized equality, and the fifth generation of great masters emphasized that the harmony of yin and yang is the fundamental concept of Taoism. Men are yang and women are yin, so they must be one man and one woman. . At the same time, it also prevents the practice of having three wives and four concubines by using the concept that husband and wife are not equal to Taoist couples.
After the implementation of the three Grand Masters, basically no one can overturn this rule. Unless the Grand Master is a woman, the wife of the Grand Master must be a woman. She is also the default head of the female Taoist priests. Without talking about the actual power, it is still The nominal third Taoist priest. If the top five members of the Taoist sect attend a formal event together, the Grand Master will naturally stand in the center. The three deputy Masters also have some opinions. According to the Grand Master’s Taoist background, the Grand Master’s wife must stand in the center. Beside the great master.
There is no doubt that Master Cihang is the most suitable candidate, and it is also the best choice for Master Cihang. It is better to be a third Taoist priest than to be a great master of Pingzhang. And to be honest, if Master Donghua has any shortcomings, or if Master Donghua retreats for a long time, Master Cihang can perform the duties of the great master on his behalf, which is comparable to
The Queen Mother lowered the curtain.
After hearing this, Master Donghua stood up and walked to the window, clasping his hands and looking out the window.
Qi Xuansu stopped polishing his ink, then walked behind Master Donghua and said softly: "I asked Master Cihang for his opinion, and Master Cihang did not object."
Master Donghua said slowly: "As long as Master Cihang and I form a Taoist couple, it will be two to one, and Master Qingwei will be very passive. However, it is still a bit abrupt, and gossip is inevitable."
Qi Xuansu said: "It's not like we abandoned our wives and children. Master is unmarried and Master Cihang is unmarried. This is a matter of course and it's not the turn of those monsters and ghosts to make irresponsible remarks."
Master Donghua remained silent, thinking quickly, weighing the pros and cons.
When men are at their most fertile and vigorous years, they are most eager for things between men and women. Because they are young, they often have a filter for women, thinking that women are fairies who do not eat the fireworks of the world, and their farts are delicious, and they will do anything for women. He is so capable that he wishes he could be humbled into the dirt.
However, Master Donghua is essentially an old man who is over 60 years old, so he naturally does not have such a mentality. The proportion of men and women in his case is very low.
Donghua Zhenren is still considering the issue of competition for the great leader. In everything, if there is a benefit, there will be a disadvantage. The advantage of him and Cihang Zhenren forming a Taoist couple is to further unite Zhengyiyi and Quanzhen Taoism. The disadvantage is that this matter will not work. It looks good, but it doesn't sound good either. Forming a Taoist couple hastily before the election will definitely cause gossip, affect your reputation, and lead to some variables.
However, Master Donghua quickly made up his mind: "Since Master Cihang doesn't have any objections, then I can't be my mother-in-law either. Let's do this. I'll give Master Cihang a revised book and you can help me pass it on to Master Cihang."
people. "
Qi Xuansu knew that the matter was almost settled, so he responded: "Yes."
However, when Master Donghua walked to the desk, he showed an unprecedented expression of embarrassment. He had been adhering to the precepts for most of his life and had never been interested in or cared about women. He really had no experience in this area. At this time, he said he was editing a book. , I really didn’t know how to write for a while.
Qi Xuansu observed the words and emotions, made an accurate guess, and took the initiative to help the master solve the problem: "If the master doesn't mind it, let me ghostwrite it."
Master Donghua nodded slightly: "That's fine."
Qi Xuansu sat down behind the writing desk without hesitation and picked up his pen.
It’s not that Qi Xuansu has a lot of experience in dealing with women. The experience is not about a lot, but the key. Qi Xuansu still has a lot of experience in writing letters to Zhang Yuelu. Since Zhang Yuelu is a disciple of Master Cihang, there must be something in common between master and disciple.
Soon, Qi Xuansu finished writing the letter and handed it to Master Donghua.
Master Donghua revised it again, and then copied it himself before giving it to Qi Xuansu.
Qi Xuansu asked: "Master, what is the approximate time?"
Master Donghua said: "When you return in triumph."
Qi Xuansu said that he understood that this also requires following the trend. As long as Qi Xuansu successfully resolves the conflict in the Darzun area, he will return to Beijing with victory. With this shared style, many things will be easier to do, and it will be easier for others to object.
Qi Xuansu understood this and stood up to leave without saying anything more.
However, Qi Xuansu did not go to Tiangang Hall again, which was too conspicuous. Instead, he went to the home of Master Cihang under the guise of taking Xiao Yin home.
When Qi Xuansu arrived, Master Cihang had not returned yet, but Xiao
Yueru happened to be at home and welcomed Qi Xuansu in.
Xiao Yin heard the noise and rushed over.
Although Xiao Yin has only lived here for a few days, she has already become very familiar with Xiao Yueru. As Zhang Yueru's junior sister, Xiao Yueru must act like a senior in front of Xiao Yin and let Xiao Yin call her "aunt". Xiao Yin naturally refused to do it, and Xiao Yin was quite rebellious. He did not even call the customary "Old Xiao" and directly became "Xiao Xiao". This fulfilled half of Xiao Yueru's wishes, leaving only "Little Xiao". "Character.
Regardless of how young Xiao Yueru is, as the youngest disciple of Master Cihang, he is the most favored and protected by Master Cihang. You must know that favoring and respecting are two different attitudes, so Xiao Yueru is a typical flower garden Taoist priest. He still looks like a child, but he can play with Xiao Yin.
The two of them started fighting again in front of Qi Xuansu, and somehow the topic of protecting the dragon came up.
As a typical garden Taoist, Xiao Yueru never touches the ground and believes that daily necessities will grow on their own from Yujing's warehouse, so she definitely supports the protection of dragons. Xiao Yin is undoubtedly a dragon-slaying sect, and her butt decides Position, if you don't kill the dragon, where will the dragon meat come from? So the two started quarreling.
The two of them each took one of Qi Xuansu's arms and asked Qi Xuansu to make the decision.
Xiao Yin said proudly: "Lao Qi has slain a dragon, how could he help you?"
Xiao Yueru was shocked. She obviously didn't expect Zhang's brother-in-law, who usually seemed like a good guy, to be so "cruel". Even in Taoism, not everyone can slay a dragon. Anyone who can slay a dragon will regard the act of slaying a dragon as a feat worth bragging about. In this regard, the Li family is the leader, and it can be said that it has been passed down from generation to generation.
Slaying dragons, there are as many as twelve dragon heads hanging in the ancestral residence of the Li family, and the latest one is the Fenglinzhou dragon that the imperial master killed.
Precisely because Taiping Dao controls two-thirds of the flying boats of the Taoist sect and kills the most dragons, the rise of the movement to protect dragons is actually a public opinion offensive against Taiping Dao by powerful figures behind the scenes of Zhengyiyi and Quanzhen Taoism. It involves the dispute between the three Taoists and It is not as simple as it seems on the surface, nor is it overflowing with compassion. Maybe the Taoist priests in the garden are overflowing with sympathy, but the people behind the scenes definitely are not.
If people from the Zhengyi Tao and Quanzhen Tao also slayed dragons, such as Qi Xuansu, then it was to eliminate harm for the people. It is not easy to generalize.
Xiao Yin has repeatedly had conflicts with the organization that protects Jiaolong, which is an act of internal strife. However, Xiao Yin has a strong backing, and any elder is a big shot in the two circles, covering the sky with one hand. Although Qi Xuansu had nothing to do with the organization for protecting the dragon, and was not a sponsor, the organization still didn't dare to do anything to Xiao Yin, and could only be mute and unable to speak out about the pain of eating Coptis chinensis. If it had been someone else, they would have been hung up in public, and their corpses would have been whipped repeatedly with a whip called "morality."
Seeing the whole thing at a glance also shows the overwhelming power Qi Xuansu now possesses. In the face of real power, what is moral and immoral, can it be the same? I am funding you so that you can bite outsiders. If you dare to turn against Tiangang and attack candidates for the future Grand Master who are supported by the two groups, hurting face and ruining the overall situation, then you cannot stay and must be killed.
Qi Xuansu waved his hand and said: "It was an old dragon who made trouble and killed the Taoist disciples. I did not do it alone, but there was a fleet and other puppets.
Fairy cooperation is not worth mentioning. "
Xiao Yueru sighed: "God has the virtue of a good life..."
Xiao Yin was eager to show off his face in front of his new friends, and immediately said loudly: "Xiao Xiao is wrong. Everything in nature is meant for people to use. The ancestors of our Taoist sect used dragons to make flying boats, just like killing cattle and sheep to eat meat. , is the way to make a living taught by God.”
Xiao Yueru said: "But Dao Sect has become the master of the world and is rich all over the world. There is no need to continue slaying dragons."
Xiao Yin said plausibly: "This is about not forgetting our roots. If Lao Qi didn't have the ability to slay dragons, he wouldn't have been able to capture Wang Jiaohe, kill Monk Xiao, and severely injure Xiao Bodhisattva. Lao Qi is the number one in my Taoist sect...the number one... "
Xiao Yin scratched his head and said loudly: "He is the number one brain tiger in my Taoist sect."
Qi Xuansu signaled Xiao Yin to shut up quickly: "If you continue talking, I should go to Kunlun Taoist Temple to practice Taoism."
At this moment, Master Cihang finally came back and asked with a smile: "What big tiger is it? It's still the biggest tiger. The last big tiger was Wang Jiaohe from Nanyang."
Qi Xuansu said: "Tong Yan Wu Ji."
Master Cihang signaled Xiao Yueru to play with Xiao Yin, and said to Qi Xuansu, "Go to my study and talk."
Qi Xuansu followed Master Cihang to the study, took out the letter from Master Donghua and presented it to Master Cihang.
Master Cihang opened it on the spot and looked at it. His face was calm at first, but when he saw the back, he became a little nervous. He half-smiled but said, "The words inside are not like Master Donghua's style."
Qi Xuansu pretended to be stupid and said: "This is master's handwriting. The handwriting is always correct. Master said, wait for my triumphant return from the Western Regions."
Master Cihang didn't care about this, he put the letter away and said
: "Then I wish you an early victory."
