Pawn Crossing the River

Chapter 186: People’s various attitudes

Naturally, many Zhang family members were so angry that they wished they could drag Zhang Yuelu down and replace him.

It’s just Zhang Yuelu, and even that person with a foreign surname was promoted in this way because of Zhang Yuelu’s glory.

How decent is that.

But they couldn't object.

In the past, when Zhang Yuelu was not good enough, the Heavenly Master really ignored Zhang Yuelu. This was not because the Heavenly Master was afraid of the power of the Zhang family, but because he was protecting Zhang Yuelu, and he was also trying to calm down in a bowl of water. Since the Heavenly Master did not show any preference for Zhang Yuelu, those Zhang family sects naturally had nothing to say, and they could not openly challenge this point. Talking openly about the differences between major sects and minor sects would go against the Taoist sect's principle of equality. He could use some means secretly, such as sending Zhang Yuelu to Beichen Hall.

But now Zhang Yuelu is doing well, and she even has many wings. Not to mention that she is the youngest third-grade Youyi Taoist priest and the headmaster of Tiangang Hall. She has made great contributions to the Five Elements Mountain incident this time. Now that Qi Xuansu was directly promoted to the rank of third-grade deputy hall leader, Zhang Yuelu would not be any worse off. Her ranking in the Tiangang Hall moved a few more places, from eighth to sixth, and she was assigned seven chiefs. Just because of the handover between the Heavenly Master and the Earth Master, the Fenglinzhou War, the approaching Shangyuan Festival, etc., just like Qi Xuansu, a polished general, the details have not yet been implemented.

For the Zhang family, this position is indeed nothing, but the key point is Zhang Yuelu's age. Can the deputy hall master in his twenties and the deputy hall master in his seventies be generalized? The former is expected to compete for the position of Grand Master, while the latter is preparing to retire to the mountains and forests in this position.

In this case, the Heavenly Master could naturally express his importance to Zhang Yuelu. After all, Zhang Yuelu is also his granddaughter.

If there is a person in the Zhang family who is on par with Zhang Yuelu, even if it is slightly worse, then there is something to be said for it. For example, Qi Xuansu is called Zhang Xuansu at this time, and he is still a direct descendant of the Zhang family. Then the Zhang family can also make a fuss, and even suppress Zhang Yuelu. However, there is no such person in the Zhang family, which makes the Zhang family very frustrated. He was so aggrieved that he could not even openly express his dissatisfaction.

The key is that you are not up to par. Can you say that the Heavenly Master is partial? This is like a scale. The left side is full of chips, the right side is only air, and then the left side is pressed to the bottom. Can you say that the scale is unfair?

The key to a bowl of water being flat is that it has both Yin and Yang sides. Now that there is only one face, there is no way to talk about peace.

Therefore, every time Zhang Yuelu takes a step forward or accomplishes a major event, the Heavenly Master's attitude becomes more intimate. It seems very utilitarian, but in fact it is inevitable.

A great man like Tianshi could not afford to be arrogant and respectful to a junior like Zhang Yuelu. In fact, as early as when Tianshi personally named Zhang Yuelu, he had already expressed a certain attitude. If he didn't like Zhang Yuelu, would he name it himself? Or the name of the stars. But later he chose to be patient and compromise with certain voices, not out of fear or weakness, but out of consideration for the overall situation and the overall situation. Everything was for the sake of internal unity, stability, and balance.

If the Heavenly Master takes action to suppress the opposition, it will inevitably cause a certain amount of internal friction and the strength of Zhengyi will be lost. Furthermore, Celestial Master's foundation lies in the Zhang family. If you hit one of your own family members, if you hit him too hard, it will be like hitting yourself and cutting off an arm. Although Celestial Master is majestic, it will not be good for the overall situation, and it will make Quanzhen even more powerful. Dao and Taipingdao saw the joke. And reaching this point will also make people think that the control of the Celestial Master is insufficient, which will have a certain impact on the prestige of the Celestial Master.

But tolerance cannot last forever, and Tianshi will not tolerate it forever. The key lies in Zhang Yuelu's performance. If Zhang Yuelu doesn't help, then the Heavenly Master will give up on Zhang Yuelu. Naturally, there is no tolerance, but agreement with those voices. If Zhang Yuelu can live up to Tianshi's expectations, then her performance will become the fulcrum for Tianshi to no longer tolerate it. If Zhang Yuelu can become the Master of Shenzhi before he is forty years old, then the Heavenly Master is not afraid that Zhang Yuelu will not be able to control the Zhang family after a hundred years.

Qi Xuansu gradually understood this truth and was greatly inspired. If one day he takes charge of a party, he must also change his thinking. He cannot think of vigorous suppression when encountering problems, but must learn unity and balance.

In this way, all kinds of emotions in the world are reflected on the faces of many Zhang family members. They want to smile, but they can't, but they can't look sad when welcoming the Heavenly Master. Those expressions really make people laugh or cry.

Qi Xuansu watched it condescendingly, and naturally couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

As for Zhang Kuqi and Tantai Qiong, it is another situation.

Fortunately for Zhang Juqi, he has always been unfazed by favors and humiliations. His personal cultivation level is not high, but he is very good at cultivating qi.

Tantai Qiong was both happy and unhappy at the same time.

Naturally, I am happy that my daughter has received the attention of the Heavenly Master. This is some kind of signal. The Heavenly Master has begun to make arrangements for his death, and his daughter is undoubtedly an extremely important part of it.

What was unhappy was that Qi Xuansu came again and got the attention of the Heavenly Master. In a sense, Qi Xuansu, whom she looked down upon, gave her a slap in the face. Qi Xuansu stood next to the Heavenly Master, even if he didn't say anything, it showed that she had no knowledge of people and was blind.

This was something Tantai Qiong couldn't bear.

I don’t know when, but there has been a trend within the Taoist sect, that is, there is no equality and respect between men and women, but it has become a woman to control the man.

All Taoist fairies have a strong desire to control. If they don't get what they want, they will make a fuss. They will be furious when they come in without changing their shoes. They will be furious even if they drink wine behind her back. They will play Xuansheng cards or go hunting and fishing. Furious, she must discipline her husband to be the way she likes, and cannot tolerate any disobedience.

Behavioral habits must be controlled, hobbies and tastes must be controlled, and even thoughts must be controlled. This is something that many sects at home and abroad have failed to do.

The men of the Taoist sect are either like quails or like turtles, no matter whether they are justified or not, they just bow their heads and admit their mistakes. Some people are even proud of this. Not only do they forget about equality and respect, they also think they are generous and tolerant, and they describe being afraid of their wives as loving their wives. It seems that Taoist women are gods and can hit a hundred Taoist men with one punch. It can be said: I have a punch, heaven is above, Taoist men, just kowtow.

Because of this, Qi Xuansu would complain about hurting his wife when Zhang Yuelu discovered the fish charm. However, he was indeed caught in the wrong by Zhang Yuelu at that time. He had no words to explain, and the situation was stronger than others, so he had to bow his head. He was not willing to do this. Deep down, he was not happy to be restrained by Zhang Yuelu, so Zhang Yuelu said it was not like him at all.

The Taoist sect prides itself on being civilized and often laughs at the barbarity of the imperial court. The court then ridiculed that the Taoist gates were full of turtles, and some were turtles with green fur.

Although this trend mainly spreads in the lower levels of Taoist sects, those high-level Taoist priests who hold great power are naturally not afraid of Taoist companions. Not only are they not afraid, they also want to build external houses, embrace them from left to right, and live the lives of people in the court. , this is the benefit of power. But the middle and upper levels have also been affected to some extent, such as Tantai Qiong.

I am used to controlling everything internally at home, so I naturally refuse to admit that I am wrong and cannot listen to other opinions.

Therefore, Tantai Qiong never wanted to admit that she had misjudged Qi Xuansu. Instead, she thought Qi Xuansu was treacherous. More importantly, she was keenly aware of Qi Xuansu's poor control.

To put it bluntly, Qi Xuansu is a thorn. When they first met, Qi Xuansu was still a quasi-sixth-grade Taoist priest. Not only did he not have the fear of a son-in-law seeing his mother-in-law, but he also dared to disobey and contradict him. Now that Qi Xuansu is the third-grade deputy hall master, and his future prospects are visible to the naked eye, then this boy will definitely not take her seriously. Whether he will even regard her as his mother-in-law is a matter of two minds. Don't forget, he is still in Yujing. There is a mother-in-law, Cihang Zhenren Su Yuanyi.

This kid was so cunning and hugged Yuelu's thigh. Didn't he know how to climb up the pole and hug Su Yuanyi's thigh?

This is the reality of the world. The king chooses his ministers, and the ministers choose their king. If the mother-in-law has many sons-in-law, she will naturally be picky about which son-in-law is more capable and which son-in-law is incompetent. She will naturally prefer the capable son-in-law. The sons-in-law just don't have a choice. When the sons-in-law have a choice, they will naturally prefer the more powerful mother-in-law.

One can imagine the annoyance in Tantai Qiong's heart.

Then there is Zhang Yuyue.

At this time, Zhang Yuyue was at a loss.

She was not as stubborn as Tantai Qiong, and she easily recognized the fact that she and Tantai Qiong combined were not as good as Zhang Yuelu. On the other hand, it is not unreasonable that Zhang Yuelu can stand out but they cannot.

They tried to obstruct her in every possible way, but Zhang Yuelu seemed to be obsessed with it, convinced that the man would not relax. Looking back now, the facts have proved everything. Zhang Yuelu's vision is far superior to theirs. They are the ones who have the eyes to see gold and jade, while Zhang Yuelu can see the jade hidden in the stone at a glance.

Was she wrong?

Because she had bad eyesight, she met Li Minghuang and was bruised all over her body.

But another thought came to her.

Is Zhang Yuelu's life too good?

She was relegated to an immortal when she was born. It was natural for her to be accepted as a disciple by Master Cihang. Then she participated in the first major Jiangnan case. Naturally, Master Cihang could not sit idly by and ignore it, so she made great achievements and became an earth master. His Dharma Eyes began to flourish. So now the master treats her like his own granddaughter. And any man she could find would be a man with a bright future.

Why is Zhang Yuelu's life so good?

Zhang Yuyue couldn't help but look at Qi Xuansu who was standing next to the Tianshi.

Will he be the second Li Minghuang?

Now that the Heavenly Master has come forward, you can't regret this kind of thing at will. Qi Xuansu will naturally not be the second Li Minghuang, and Zhang Yuelu will not be injured all over.

But why didn't the Heavenly Master come forward for her in the first place?

She is also the granddaughter of the Heavenly Master.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuyue could not help but feel a bit jealous.
