Pawn Crossing the River

As soon as the child's time passed, time officially entered the forty-three years of Jiushi.

This is also the third year that Qi Xuansu has returned to Taoism.

In the past two years, Qi Xuansu jumped three levels from the Kunlun stage to the heavenly stage, and also jumped three levels from the seventh-grade Taoist priest to the fourth-grade wine-sacrifice Taoist priest.

He met many great people and participated in many great events.

More importantly, he met Zhang Yuelu.

In a vanity fair called Daomen, it is full of betrayal and loyalty, ambition and ideals, killing and intrigue. Everything must be about interests and trade-offs. However, two young men and women still believe in the existence of feelings and put it into practice themselves. It seems a little out of place, but also commendable.

So Qi Xuansu cherishes this relationship very much, just like he cherishes his relationship with Qiniang.

Nowadays, even a blind man can see that Qi Xuansu has a bright future. No matter how humble he is of being a nobody, he is just telling lies with his eyes open. He is just slightly inferior compared to Li, Yao, and Zhang. Not having the qualifications to compete for the Great Headmaster does not mean that he has no future. The Deputy Headmaster Dazhenren, Pingzhang Dazhenren, and Shenzhizhenren are also on the same side. A big shot at the pinnacle of power.

Just kidding, as we all know, there are four Taoist Three Shows.

At Qi Xuansu's current status, as long as he wants to, he will not lack the so-called love fortune.

It's just that he feels that even if he becomes Master Shenzhi, Master Pingzhang, or even Grand Master in the future, he will not change at all.

The feelings of knowing each other since we were young are always sincere.

When he met Zhang Yuelu, he was just a seventh-grade Taoist priest and a wandering Taoist priest with nothing.

Except for Qiniang, no one knows that he still has a "Heart of Immortality Stone" in his body, and he has never fused with "Xuanyu", so he is just a casual person. As for the future, even though I have entered Tiangang Hall, as a Taoist disciple who came from Wanxiang Taoist Palace, if I don’t have enough talent and qualifications, I won’t have a high level of cultivation. Without enough level of cultivation, it will naturally be difficult to establish meritorious deeds. In addition, without the support of teachers and family background, there is probably no future at all.

Who would like Qi Xuansu like this?

Li Qingnu?

Why should the oiran fall in love with someone who can't protect her from the wind and rain? If Qi Xuansu didn't have the cultivation level obtained from "Xuanyu", when Lu Yunfeng harassed Li Qingnu, he was knocked to the ground by Lu Yunfeng's slave with three punches and two kicks, like a drowned dog, Li Qingnu would still think highly of him One glance?

Yao Pei?

Putting aside Qiniang's relationship, without the blessing of "Xuanyu" and without enough value, the daughter of the Yao family who has practiced the "Tai Shang Wang Qing Sutra" will be confused with a person who pronounces "Jianxiu Mountain Master" as "Jianxiu Mountain Master He". "People" guys to be friends with? Is he knowledgeable?

I'm afraid even Ke Qingqing looks down on him.

Because I saved your life, because I preserved your family, because I am powerful, and because I have a high status, you thank me, like me, love me, and worship me.

What does that have to do with me as a person?

I can't save you, I can't protect your family, my strength is not strong, my status is not high, I am still me, but you don't thank me, don't like me, and don't admire me anymore.

Qi Xuansu felt that this was meaningless.

He doesn’t want to be a tool, and he doesn’t want to be trusted, used, relied on and liked just because he has a certain function and can provide a certain value.

What's the difference between him and the old scalpers in the field?

There will come a day when the old scalper can no longer work. When the scalper gets old, he will be slaughtered for meat. When he is no longer useful, should we cut him off?

The only exception is Zhang Yuelu.

Not because of the so-called fourth show of the Taoist sect, nor because of his relationship with Qiniang, nor because of his promising future.

Just because of who he is.

Zhang Yuelu's attitude towards Qi Xuansu has hardly changed much, whether he is an ordinary Taoist priest of Tiangang Hall or the head of Qi who is not far away from Zhang Yuelu now.

When Qi Xuansu was weak, Zhang Yuelu was not domineering. When Qi Xuansu was strong, Zhang Yuelu was not domineering.

There is a little bird clinging to you.

Although Qi Xuansu risked his life for her, she was moved, but when Qi Xuansu was helpless, she would not feel resentful because of it.

When Qiniang's identity was unknown, Zhang Yuelu treated Qi Xuansu as an equal and could fight with his family for him. After knowing Qiniang's identity, Zhang Yuelu did not try to please Qiniang, but treated Qiniang with scrutiny and suspicion.

Zhang Yuelu would be very happy if Qi Xuansu could walk side by side with Zhang Yuelu and protect her from the wind and rain. Qi Xuansu could only follow Zhang Yuelu, and Zhang Yuelu didn't mind shielding him from the wind and rain.

Therefore, Qi Xuansu, a person who thinks about himself, was willing to jump for Zhang Yuelu. It was not impulsive or unreasonable.

Because Zhang Yuelu never regarded him as a tool, not because he could provide some value, she only did it because of him.

Zhang Yuelu didn't want to be Qi Xuansu's vassal, nor did he want Qi Xuansu to be her vassal.

Qi Xuansu felt that he had never met a woman as good as Zhang Yuelu before, and he would never have such an opportunity in the future.

So in the past two years, everything else was secondary, and Zhang Yuelu was his biggest opportunity.

When the fireworks finally died down, Qi Xuansu still held Zhang Yuelu in his arms.

Until then, Zhang Yuelu said softly: "Tianyuan, aren't your hands and feet disobedient?"

The fireworks have dissipated, so they don’t really spoil the scenery.

Qi Xuansu's expression froze slightly, and then he said: "Maybe it's because you kissed me, and it healed instantly."

Zhang Yuelu laughed: "I didn't know that I could cure all diseases. Am I the reincarnation of the immortal tree in Kunlun Cave?"

Qi Xuansu coughed lightly: "That's not certain."

Zhang Yuelu pushed Qi Xuansu away, his tone gentle but with hidden murderous intent: "You lied to me again."

Qi Xuansu changed into the same kneeling position as Zhang Yuelu. The two stood side by side as if they were worshiping heaven and earth. He reached out and patted his knees: "Why talk about the word "again"? At worst, you can give me a pillow and we'll be even. "

Zhang Yuelu stood up and said, "That's all, I don't care about this with you. I don't care about it now, and I don't care about it in the past."

Qi Xuansu was startled: "What do you mean when you say you don't care anymore?"

Zhang Yuelu glanced at him with a half-smile but not a smile: "That's what you understand. I will no longer inquire about the root cause. If Master asks, I will help you to resolve it. As for whether you are willing to tell me the truth, it all depends on you." It's your own choice, I won't force you or blame you."

Qi Xuansu was a little flattered: "Were you beaten stupid by that guy from King Liao?"

With that said, Qi Xuansu stood up and touched Zhang Yuelu's forehead.

Zhang Yuelu slapped Qi Xuansu's hand away and said, "Don't think too much, it's me who has made peace with myself."

"Is it that simple?" Qi Xuansu was a little confused.

Zhang Yuelu hesitated for a moment and then said: "Actually, it has something to do with you. When Qin Quanxiao attacked you, I was also dizzy and rushed to the doctor because of my illness. I actually made a wish in my heart. As long as you can survive, I don’t care about anything anymore. Now that you have survived, I will naturally fulfill my promise. Of course, I can go back on my word and refuse to acknowledge this wish. Anyway, no one will know, and that means I am competing with myself, so I said I will. I reconciled myself.”

Qi Xuansu was a little surprised.

His biggest headache is of course the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the second is how to confess to Zhang Yuelu. Now that Zhang Yuelu has taken the initiative to say that he will no longer pursue the dispute, he has put down a stone. This is not a question of whether you are afraid of your wife, but a question of whether it is reasonable or not. If Qi Xuansu is in control, he is not afraid of Zhang Yuelu, who will let him be in the wrong.

However, Zhang Yuelu immediately poured cold water on Qi Xuansu: "Don't get carried away. I said I don't care about the past, and I don't care about the present. But I didn't say I won't care about the future. If you dare to lie to me in the future, then it will be a new one." Let’s settle the old accounts together.”

"This is natural." Qi Xuansu vowed.

Zhang Yuelu asked: "Shall we go back?"

Qi Xuansu took Zhang Yuelu's hand: "Where are you going back? Do you want to go back to Yunjin Mountain to celebrate the New Year?"

Zhang Yuelu let Qi Xuansu take control

Holding his own hand, he said, "Naturally, we are going back to the Jade Palace. Today is the day when the Heavenly Master and the Earthly Master will take over the position of the Great Master. The Heavenly Master is still in Jade Capital at this time, because the Heavenly Master and the Earthly Master are now allies, so The Celestial Master will stay in Yujing for a few days to meet and have a long talk with the Earth Master. He will not return to Yunjin Mountain until after the sixth day at the earliest. Since the Celestial Master is not here, Yunjin Mountain will not be as lively as last year. Many activities have been postponed to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month and merged with the Lantern Festival celebrations. I just need to rush back before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."

Qi Xuansu squeezed Zhang Yuelu's palm and asked, "Do you need me to accompany you home for the holidays this year?"

Zhang Yuelu glanced at him: "You decide for yourself, I won't force you."

Qi Xuansu let go of Zhang Yuelu's hand and patted the hem of his clothes: "It seems that fellow Taoist Qingxiao doesn't really want me to go, so that's fine. It's better to use people to go forward than to use people to go behind. Now that no one is forcing marriage, I don't care anymore. You didn't ask me to go in the first place. When it was dark, he would wait outside my house before dawn and buy me clothes.”

Zhang Yuelu poked him with his finger: "Please tell me clearly, why don't I want you to go?"

Qi Xuansu immediately smiled and said, "So, do you want me to go?"

Zhang Yuelu saw through his thoughts at a glance: "Yes, of course I hope you will go. After all, after making such great contributions, Donghua Zhenren can't confer you a third-grade Youyi Taoist priest? A third-grade Youyi Taoist priest who is less than thirty years old, looking at the entire Daomen, besides me, you must not go to Yunjin Mountain to shock those blind people, and let others know how discerning I am, especially my mother. , let her know that I am a hundred times better at picking out men, right?"

Qi Xuansu was a little embarrassed: "That's right, but it smells like the Li family. As long as you mean it, you don't have to be so explicit. Also, my uncle is a good man, and he and I are just between brothers. So you and your aunt pick a man." In terms of perspective, it’s considered a tie.”

Zhang Yuelu was angry and funny: "I want to thank you on behalf of my father."
