Pawn Crossing the River

To be fair, Qi Xuansu is not good at killing. He is not the kind of assassin or death warrior who has been trained since he was a child. He does not know how to kill people most efficiently and fastest. His strength lies in a stable mentality honed from life and death experiences. and a set of adaptable play styles.

Water has no permanent momentum, and soldiers have no permanent shape.

The so-called adaptability is not only about summarizing skills and turning them into instincts, but also about using your brain and being good at taking advantage of various external conditions.

In this case, Qi Xuansu's strength is a little erratic. It seems to be very strong, but it doesn't seem to be that strong. He rarely shows the crushing momentum of Li Changge. One is because Qi Xuansu is not as good as Li Changge due to his inherent deficiencies. , and the second reason is that external conditions are not the same every time.

The assassins in the "Inn" are different. They have been trained since childhood, are familiar with every weakness of the human body, and are proficient in various killing techniques. They are also good at taking advantage of various external conditions, but most of them are used to ambush, hide, and assassinate.

To put it bluntly, what assassins are good at is to weaken the enemy through sneak attacks and other means, strengthen themselves, and deliver the most fatal blow through calculated calculations without intention.

If a hit misses, the ancestors of the assassins have already made it very clear. If a hit misses, you will be thousands of miles away.

In fact, if they lose the first mover in the sneak attack, without the realm advantage, these assassins will probably not be able to defeat the battle-hardened men in black and the old Jianghu who have experienced the big waves in a head-on confrontation.

If you really want to fight one-on-one and have a fair competition of skills, the "cook" of the "inn" may not be the opponent of Qing Pinghui's "Qing Shi Shi", but if the "cook" doesn't fight you head-on, he will not only have a calculated ambush but also unintentionally ambushes you. Moreover, he bullied the small ones, and "Qing Shishi" liked the white dragon fish suit, so he relied on his cultivation to travel around the country alone, so he died in the hands of the "cook".

At this point, we have to go to the third master of the Taoist sect. He is really the son of a daughter, Jie Chuitang. These three realms are already beyond the reach of few people in the world, but they still live in seclusion, either in Yujing, the ancestral court of the Taoist sect, or in Their respective "lairs" are not only guarded by various followers, but also surrounded by various formations. Even if an ancient immortal condescends to act as an assassin, it will be difficult to endanger these three people.

Because of this, Qi Xuansu is not pessimistic about the war between the Qingping Society and the "Inn" because of the death of "Qingshanshi". He feels that if the Qingping Society can take the lead, the "Inn" may be defeated. , because assassins are good at attacking but not good at defending.

Whether you can take the lead depends on intelligence. In this regard, except for the Ziguang Society, no secret society can compare with the Qingping Society. After all, there are two-faced people in the Qingping Society, and internal members do not show their true colors when communicating. Most of the contacts are one-way. It is easy to break into other people's internal affairs. It's difficult to get inside.

When meeting Qiniang this time, in addition to the "inn" thing, Qiniang also changed a fish charm for Qi Xuansu, replacing the "silver scarlet fish charm" with a "gold and purple fish charm", which means that Qi Xuansu will be Class B member.

The fish talisman of Qingpinghui is quite similar to the sutra urn of Taoism. The higher the level, the more functions it has. Compared with the "Silver Fish Talisman", the "Golden Purple Fish Talisman" can not only be exchanged for items in dreams, but also has two functions.

There is nothing much to say about the first function. The internal space is larger and more things can be stored. This means that Qi Xuansu has two Xumi objects. He can put some secret things in the "Golden Purple Fish Talisman" and put some Things that are less important and commonly used are placed in Feng Bo's thumb.

The second function is completely similar to the communication function of "Chu Zhen Sutra", which can bind one person. Qiniang had already bound his "gold and purple fish talisman" to her "jade and white fish talisman" in advance without Qi Xuansu's consent. From then on, the two did not need the mother-child talisman to communicate with each other.

As for the binding issue, the "Golden Purple Fish Talisman" can only bind one person, but the "Jade White Fish Talisman" can bind multiple people. Just like a teapot with many teacups, Qiniang's "jade and white fish charm" is the teapot, and Qi Xuansu's "gold and purple fish charm" is the teacup.

Taking advantage of this reason, Qiniang said that since the two of them no longer need the mother-in-law talisman to communicate, she will not send the mother-in-law talisman to Qi Xuansu from now on. The remaining bits and pieces are not enough to cover the expenses of the letter guest. , just save it altogether. This means that all the worry-free money, elixirs, and Zimu talismans issued by the Qingping Society have been cut off by Qiniang, and Qi Xuansu is now a free laborer.

Qi Xuansu also wanted to thank Qiniang. If it weren't for Qiniang's "teachings", would he have such excellent qualities of not being greedy or possessive, being honest and self-sufficient, and being clean? Putting 20,000 worry-free money in front of you without batting an eye.

After Qi Xuansu said goodbye to Qiniang, he wandered around the black market and found many interesting items, but he was short of money and had no choice but to give up.

Then Qi Xuansu left the black market and bought new clothes.

Now Qi Xuansu is still in the stage of suspension and reflection. At the beginning, Qi Xuansu was still a little unconvinced. Why should he reflect? What to reflect on again? In the end, Shi Bingyun's words left him speechless. You left such a big handle for others to manipulate, and you were almost doomed. Shouldn't you reflect on it? Qi Xuansu had no choice but to reflect honestly and said that such mistakes would never happen again in the future, and he would never be kind to a woman. But when dealing with Yanxiu, he was soft-hearted. As a result, he was not saved and he was injured a little. Qi Xuansu couldn't help but lament that he still didn't reflect enough.

However, after Yao Pei submitted the record to Jinque, Zhang Yuelu waved his hand and said that Qi Xuansu did not need to reflect on it. Although Qi Xuansu will continue to be suspended until Jinque officially approves it, he cannot dispatch his subordinates, and he cannot participate in the investigation openly. At most, he can discuss it with Zhang Yuelu in private and give some opinions, but the advantage is that he does not have to be grounded. , go wherever he wants, so he has been quite free and leisurely recently, so he can come and see Qiniang.

In fact, when he said goodbye to Qiniang at the end, Qi Xuansu also hesitated whether to mention Zhang Yuelu's request to meet? In the end, I gave up and waited for as long as I could to delay it. There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and there is another village with dark willows and bright flowers.

Conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Pushing forward ten years and killing Qi Xuansu, he didn't think he would face this problem. First of all, he doesn't have a wife. Secondly, his conditions may not be able to find a Taoist partner. After all, Taoist women are very discerning and they are both ninth-grade Taoist priests. Female Taoist priests look down on male Taoist priests and have to find an eighth-grade Taoist priest as a Taoist companion. So at that time, Qi Xuansu felt that he might He will join Quanzhen Taoism, never marry, and become a Taoist monk.

But now it's really happening.

When Qi Xuansu was young and idle, he read too many stories. While he felt that he might not be able to find a Taoist companion, he also imagined that he would be caught between two women, and he was in a dilemma. But I never expected that it was true that the two women were in a dilemma, but they were not two confidantes, but an old lady and a wife.

Qi Xuansu simply stopped thinking about it and planned to stay at the Imperial Palace of Taiping Inn, waiting for Qiniang's people to come and contact him.

Speaking of which, Qi Xuansu had some friendship with the shopkeeper of the Imperial Palace due to the investigation of the case. Now that Qi Xuansu is about to revolt, the shopkeeper will not accept Qi Xuansu's peace money, but will take the initiative to form a good relationship, so he can't help it. .

In the middle of the night, Qi Xuansu was meditating and fell into trance when he suddenly felt the "Golden Purple Fish Talisman" connected to his mind move. He took it out and activated the function of the Zi-Mother Talisman.

A light curtain appeared in front of Qi Xuansu, and a big eye occupied most of the light screen, which shocked Qi Xuansu. Then he realized that this was because Qiniang put her eyes tightly on the fish talisman. This effect would appear if it was large near or small.

Sure enough, when Qiniang took the fish charm away, she could see her bust.

Even though I am very old, I still like to play such kid tricks.

Qi Xuansu secretly cursed in his heart without showing it on his face, and asked: "Have your people arrived?"

"Go to the overpass." Qiniang said concisely.

Qi Xuansu keenly sensed something was wrong: "Didn't you send someone to contact me?"

"The plan has changed unexpectedly. This time, a member of the Privy Council will lead the team in person. However, I won't show up. You can go there on my behalf to increase the number of people and beat the drum. Don't embarrass me and pay attention to your own safety." Qiniang said.

Qi Xuansu took a breath: "A first-class member came forward from the beginning? Such a big move?"

Qiniang said: "Not big enough to boost morale, not big enough to shock people's hearts. Stop talking nonsense and go quickly."

Qi Xuansu was used to bargaining with Qiniang, and asked again: "Know your enemy and your friend, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. Since it is a temporary change of plan, then I don't ask how the opponent is, after all, he is a member of the 'inn'. But you have to tell me, we are our own people" Who are they and what level of cultivation they are, so that I can know clearly?"

Qiniang said: "The leader's name is 'Mengxingyun', which is the stage of immeasurable heaven and man."

Qi Xuansu immediately hesitated: "Even 'Qingshanshi' in the creation stage is dead. Can it be changed to the infinite stage this time?"

Qiniang put her eyes close to the fish talisman again, and a big eye on the light screen stared at Qi Xuansu: "You are a heavenly being in the carefree stage, but you still look down on the heavenly beings in the infinite stage? Do you really think that the creation stage is just on the roadside? How much cabbage do you want? There are six senior executives of the inn: proprietor, shopkeeper, waiter, cook, accountant, and handyman. The proprietor is the leader, and the shopkeeper is the mastermind. The two are responsible for the overall situation, and the waiter is responsible for intelligence and the accountant. He is responsible for the finances, the handyman checks for leaks and fills in the vacancies, and the cook is responsible for the assassination. Apart from the proprietor and the shopkeeper, the cook has the highest level of cultivation, so he is in the creation stage, and the other accountants, waiters, busboys and several Tianzihao clerks. It's the same, it's just the infinite stage. In addition to the six-person Privy Council, there is also the council. If everyone is at the creation stage, there will be more than a dozen creations in the Qingping Association, and six creations in the "Inn". Can major secret societies such as Shangziguang Society, Zhiming Sect, and Lingshan Witch Sect be able to compete with the Taoist sect? Or even suppress the Taoist sect. After all, the Taoist sect only has about thirty masters in the creation stage. "

Qi Xuansu said: "Aren't you a fake immortal?"

Qiniang said proudly: "Can I do the same? I am also the head of Qibaofang. Can anyone else do the same?"

Qi Xuansu was speechless.
