Pawn Crossing the River

Qi Xuansu did not hesitate too much: "Help! You have already mentioned this, how can I not be busy? In the worst case, I will be kicked out by Mrs. Tantai. You can't kill me."

There was a smile on Zhang Yuelu's face again, and he patted Qi Xuansu on the shoulder: "We are friends enough."

Qi Xuansu reached out and grabbed Zhang Yuelu's wrist. His hands were slightly cold, and he moved it away from his shoulders: "Don't be too happy now. Let's not say whether we will be discovered. Even if it is done, what should we do in the future? We can't Are we two pretending to be real?"

Zhang Yuelu said: "We'll talk about the future matters later. Let's pass this hurdle first. If we can't pass this hurdle, there will be nothing to do in the future."

Qi Xuansu nodded: "Then second point, what about your reputation? You can't hide this matter from others. If it spreads, it doesn't matter to me as an unknown person. At worst, I will bear the name of a freeloader and a pretty boy. But what about you? "

Zhang Yuelu looked at Qi Xuansu and said seriously: "I don't care either."

Qi Xuansu let go of Zhang Yuelu's wrist: "In that case, I have nothing more to say."

Zhang Yuelu took back his hand and said softly: "Thank you."

The two continued to move forward, and Qi Xuansu sighed: "Three months ago, I would never have thought that I would follow the famous Taoist genius back home to meet my parents three months later. The wonderful encounters in life and the impermanence of fate. Nothing more than that.”

Zhang Yuelu glanced sideways at him: "Why do you feel like you're getting an advantage and yet you're being obedient in your words?"

"Really?" Qi Xuansu coughed lightly, "I obviously made a very heavy decision."

Zhang Yuelu didn't go into details and just said: "I have arranged everything for Yaoguangxuan today. You go back and prepare. We will leave Yujing tomorrow morning. We will go back by land this time."

"By land? Why not take a flying boat?" Qi Xuansu asked subconsciously.

Zhang Yuelu rolled his eyes at him: "Of course it can be postponed for a day. It is best to go back on New Year's Eve and leave on the first day of the new year. The shorter the time, the less likely there will be flaws."

Qi Xuansu said strangely: "In that case, you might as well not go back."

Zhang Yuelu said helplessly: "My mother has a friend in Tiangang Hall. She already knew in advance that we would have nearly three months of vacation. She said in the Zimu Talisman that if I don't go back, she will come to Yujing in person. You can take the land route It’s different, the world is so big, she doesn’t know where I’ve gone.”

Qi Xuansu already had a preliminary impression of Mrs. Tantai, and there was only two words: strong. Such a woman is not a good person and needs to be dealt with carefully.

Thinking of this, Qi Xuansu asked softly: "How is the relationship between your mother and daughter?"

Zhang Yuelu's face turned slightly gloomy, he shook his head and said, "It's not bad, but it's not very harmonious either."

Qi Xuansu couldn't say much when it came to Zhang Yuelu's family affairs. However, he was not too surprised by this kind of thing. Although he grew up in the Wanxiang Taoist Palace, when the Wanxiang Taoist Palace taught the history of the Taoist sect, it introduced the life of Xuansheng in detail, such as the suspicion between father and son, and the quarrels between brothers. It was all staged. It can be seen that the so-called affection has a very limited weight in the face of human nature.

Zhang Yuelu sighed: "I would like to thank Master Di. Because Master Di gave me a second choice, my mother did not dare to force me too much. She was also afraid that I would become a monk in Quanzhen Taoism in anger."

While talking, the two of them had already left Shaochu Street, and the east gate of Taishangfang was in sight in the distance.

Zhang Yuelu asked: "Do you need me to take you back?"

Qi Xuansu waved his hand and said, "That's not necessary."

"Okay, I'll go to Haichanfang to find you tomorrow." Zhang Yuelu left first.

After Qi Xuansu watched Zhang Yuelu leave, he walked outside Taishangfang.

By the time Qi Xuansu returned to his home in Haichanfang, it was almost midnight.

However, it is almost midnight, after all, it is not yet midnight, and it is still within the scope of October 15th. Qi Xuansu took out his fish talisman, used various materials to set up the magic circle again, lit the "returning incense", fell asleep, and went to the "dream meeting".

It is still the same weird hall as last time. At first glance, there are fewer people than usual.

Qi Xuansu prayed silently in his heart, hoping that Qiniang was still there, otherwise he would use a Zimu Talisman to contact Qiniang.

Fortunately, Qiniang, as a qualified businessman, is still here at this time.

As for how to distinguish Qiniang among the crowd, it is quite simple. Qi Xuansu discovered this himself, because he is a subordinate member of Qiniang, and the fish talisman is the key for him to enter and exit this place, so as long as he enters the dream meeting through his own fish talisman, he will have some kind of relationship with Qiniang. Induction, even if Qiniang conceals her true face at this time, he can still accurately find Qiniang through induction.

I think this kind of induction is two-way, so Qiniang was able to find him directly last time.

When Qi Xuansu found Qiniang, she was talking to another person. Qi Xuansu stopped in the distance. Although she couldn't hear what the two were talking about, it was obvious that Qiniang was in the driver's seat.

Soon, Qiniang waved her hand, and the man disappeared on the spot, probably exiting the dream meeting.

Qiniang walked towards Qi Xuansu and said with a smile: "You are very determined. You didn't come even once on September 1st, September 15th and October 1st."

Qi Xuansu said truthfully: "I have an errand at Tiangang Hall, so I really can't come."

"Is your sixth-grade Taoist priest stable?" Qiniang asked casually.

Qi Xuansu nodded and said, "We should be inseparable."

Qiniang turned to the topic: "What are you doing here this time?"

Qi Xuansu truthfully told Qiniang that Zhang Yuelu asked him to accompany her home for the New Year.

After Qiniang heard this, she looked at Qi Xuansu with a very pleased look, feeling as if our family had just grown up.

Qi Xuansu asked: "Qiniang, do you want me to go or not?"

Qiniang finally couldn't help laughing and said: "This child who has not grown up will never grow up. If something like this happens, he will be confused and have to come to your mother."

Although in Qi Xuansu's mind, Qiniang has always been a half-sister and half-mother, she still couldn't stand it in terms of face being teased by Qiniang like this. Fortunately, her face was covered with mist and she couldn't tell, so she forcefully changed the subject: "If I go to Shangqing Mansion, I won't be able to do errands for Qingpinghui."

"If you don't want to do it, you won't do it, and it won't take more than a few months." Qiniang waved her hand, "Let me tell you, this matter is related to your life, so you can't be careless."

"What life-long event? This is just a lie." Even in his dream, Qi Xuansu felt a little fever on his face.

Qiniang hit the nail on the head and said: "For a girl like this, if she wants to find a man to make up for her, it's not just a matter of words? Why did she choose you?"

Qi Xuansu repeated the reasons Zhang Yuelu had said, but the more he spoke, the less confident he became, and in the end he lost his voice.

Qiniang smiled and said, "I am a woman and I am older than you. If you are not as good as me in understanding women, are you convinced?"

"I'm convinced." Qi Xuansu said honestly.

Qiniang said: "Since you are convinced, then listen to me. This kind of good thing is an excellent opportunity. Whether you can seize the opportunity depends on your own ability."

Qi Xuansu frowned and said: "How about seizing the opportunity? What if you can't seize the opportunity?"

"Pig brain." Qiniang said, hating that iron is not as strong as iron. "Do you need me to teach you? If you can seize the opportunity, you can fake it. If you can't seize the opportunity, you can't do anything cool."

Qi Xuansu said: "Although this is a 'dream meeting', it's not easy to talk in sleep, right?"

Qiniang laughed angrily and said, "Isn't it just a banished immortal? It's not yet unattainable. If you don't even have this ambition, how can you be a great master in the future?"

Qi Xuansu became more and more certain that Qiniang was talking in her sleep, and said helplessly: "Qiniang, even if today is the Xiayuan Festival, it is not good to drink too much, so you should go to bed early."

Qiniang held her forehead and said, "Tianyuan, I really regret saving you now."

Qi Xuansu was speechless.

In fact, in the past few years, Qiniang would often say such things, especially when Qi Xuansu was stupid or did not suit Qiniang's wishes. The general meaning was equivalent to "How did I give birth to a son like you?"

After a while, Qiniang calmed down a little and said: "Okay, let's not talk too far and let's talk about the matter. The Zhang family girl asked you to accompany her back to the Shangqing Mansion to put on a fake show. You'd better go. We won't say anything fake. When it comes to acting, just pretend that you’re trying to please your boss. Is there any problem?”

Qi Xuansu hesitated for a moment: "What about Qingpinghui?"

Qiniang said: "I am here at Qingpinghui. Without you, I can handle it by myself."

Qi Xuansu said: "Okay, then I will leave tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" Qiniang sighed, "After all, I still have a wife and forget about my mother."

Qi Xuansu regretted coming to Qiniang tonight, so he had no choice but to change the subject: "By the way, Qiniang, since you can't see other people's faces clearly here, how do you contact other people?"

Qiniang stretched out her right hand, and a golden and purple fish talisman appeared out of thin air. She explained: "This is my fish talisman. Of course it is not a real thing. Because the dream stone is added to the fish talisman, the fish talisman can not only communicate with dreams, but also It can be manifested in dreams. It may be a little difficult for martial artists to do it, but it is easier for alchemists, but it can be done. As long as you visualize your fish talisman in your mind, you can manifest it in your dream. "

Visualization, meditation, breath control, and luck are all the basic courses of Wanxiang Tao Palace.

"After manifesting the fish talisman, you can establish a connection with other people's fish talismans through your own fish talisman. In this way, you can have a connection like the two of us. If you don't need it afterwards, you can also cut off this connection. It's very Convenient." Qiniang explained.

Qi Xuansu nodded: "I understand."

Qiniang said: "The function of the fish talisman is just an inconsequential addition and cannot be used as a serious sumeru object. You will still need a suitable sumeru object in the future. The main function of the fish talisman is to provide food for Qingpinghui." The basic principle of the mutual connection between members is similar to that of the Zi-Mother Talisman, just like the yin and yang of magnets attracting each other. However, because this connection is established in dreams, it seems a bit mysterious. You can make up for it by going to the Wanxiang Dao Palace for further training in the future. knowledge in this area.”
