Chapter 13: Heart-wrenching
Qi Xuansu entered Zixiao Palace and headed straight to Yuxu Palace.
Yuxu Palace is still the same. When Qi Xuansu came here last time, she was just to visit Yao Pei who was injured by Li Changge.
Since then, Qi Xuansu has never been here again.
Today's Xiaoyuxu Palace is particularly lively. Although Donghua's real person went to Zixiao Palace, which was the leader of the great sect, was not here, but Yao Yi, Pei Shenfu, Yao Pei, Yao Shu and other Yao family members were all there, which could be considered a family gathering.
In any case, Donghua Zhenren is Pei Shenfu's brother-in-law, Yao Yi's uncle and master, and Yao Shu's old boss. In general, the Yao family is still happy to see Donghua Zhenren win the election. Even if there are conflicts, it is still internal conflicts, and it is better than outsiders.
In other words, Qi Xuansu's replacement of Yao Pei was the root of the contradiction, not Donghua's real person.
Therefore, the atmosphere in Yuxu Palace was still quite cheerful and festive at this time.
Qi Xuansu's arrival broke this festive celebration.
Upon hearing this news, the Yao family members who were sitting together were silent for a moment.
Pei Shenfu snorted: "If he doesn't go to Zixiao Palace, why do he do when he runs to our Yuxu Palace?"
Yao Shu whispered: "It's probably because something is wrong. Maybe it was Donghua... the leader of the sect who sent him to pass the message."
Yao Pei didn't speak and was indifferent. She and Xiao Yin had two extremes, one was too noisy and the other was too quiet.
Finally, they all looked at Yao Yi.
Yao Yi said: "Now is different from the past. Qi Tianyuan is a disciple of the great master, a strong competitor of the eight generations of great masters, and a young master. We can't keep it out, right? Let's invite in quickly."
Soon, Qi Xuansu came to the back hall of Yuxu Palace and met the members of the Yao family.
Yuxu Palace has its own pattern. The front hall is placed with the throne of the Earth Master, which is where guests and discusses the affairs. The wider back hall is where you live on weekdays. However, the Earth Master is not here, but in the monastery used for retreat.
Qi Xuansu saluted: "I don't know where the Earth Master is? Xuansu asked for a visit."
Everyone in the Yao family returned the greeting, and Yao Shu asked, "Tianyuan, why did you suddenly remember to meet the Earth Master?"
Qi Xuansu said: "As a disciple of Quanzhen, I should have come to see the Earth Master for a long time. It's just that I'm always squandering a meeting. It happened that the Earth Master came to Yujing today, so I wanted to take this opportunity to see the Earth Master."
Yao Shu was a little surprised: "Why, Tianyuan has never seen the Earth Master?"
Qi Xuansu said: "This is also a strange thing. I always miss it. If you want to see it, you must have seen it. For example, when I was in Qizhou, I had the honor of witnessing the Earth Master fighting with Zi Jida Real Man, but I have never met alone."
Yao Shu said "Oh": "So that's it."
Then he looked at Yao Yi: "Brother?"
Pei Shenfu wanted to speak, but Yao Yi, who had always been easy to speak, raised his hand to interrupt Pei Shenfu for the first time: "Since that's the case, I'll go and inform him on my behalf, and please wait for Tianyuan."
Qi Xuansu bowed slightly: "I have a hard time brother."
Pei Shenfu raised her eyebrows.
What a good guy, the elders are the elders out of thin air, and the master's sister-in-law has become a sister-in-law. But she can't say anything, after all, Qi Niang is here, so that's right.
On the contrary, Yao Pei looked completely indifferent, and even made people suspect that she was not listening at all, but was simply dazed.
Yao Yi turned around and went to the temple, and Qi Xuansu waited here, and could not help but have to exchange greetings with the Yao family.
"Suyi, how are you doing lately?"
"fine."
"I've been busy with elections recently and cannot take care of Ziweitang. I still have my senior sister to preside over Ziweitang on my behalf. Thank you for your hard work."
“Not bitter.”
"By the way, the master has moved into Zixiao Palace. When will the senior sister go to Zixiao Palace to meet the master?"
"immediately."
"Senior sister... Forget it, senior sister, please be busy."
"OK."
Yao Pei returned to his empty-eyed look.
Qi Xuansu no longer talked to Yao Pei, but just secretly complained: "Whoever married Yao Pei is so blessed. What does it mean to respect each other like a guest? Respecting each other is almost the same as Bing."
Fortunately, Zhang Yuelu is not like this, and Xiaoyin and Qiniang are not like this either.
Fortunately, Yao Yi came back soon: "Tianyuan, the Earth Master is welcome, please come with me."
"It's hard work." Qi Xuansu followed Yao Yi and walked through a passage with a heavy veil. The south side of the passage was not blocked. At this time, the windows were open. You could see Kunlun Yaochi and the north side of the earth master was the monastery where the earth master was located.
The door in the middle of the temple was open at this time, and the wind on the Kunlun Yaochi Lake passed through the window and then drifted into the temple. The earth master who was dormant inside obviously liked the refreshing wind.
Under Yao Yi's leadership, Qi Xuansu came outside the door of the temple. Because the door was open, you could see the Emperor of Heaven worshipped on the altar on the main wall. Under the altar was a Bagua-shaped seating platform with cushions.
The Earth Master sat on it, and the curtains hanging around blocked the Earth Master's figure, and he could only vaguely see the outline of the Earth Master.
Yao Yi signaled Qi Xuansu to go in by himself and turned around and left.
Qi Xuansu had no choice but to cross the threshold, walk into the divine master's monastery, and salute solemnly: "Xuansu has met divine master."
The voice of the earth master rang behind the curtain: "No need to be polite."
Qi Xuansu stood up, but for a moment he didn't know where to start.
Instead, the Earth Master took the initiative to speak, "Yao Yi said you were looking for me, is there anything wrong?"
Qi Xuansu said: "As a disciple of Quanzhendao, Xuansu should pay homage to the great true master of Quanzhendao."
Many people almost forgot that the Third Division is not an official title, but a common name. The official names are Zhengyi Dao Dazhen Man, Quanzhen Dazhen Man, and Taiping Dazhen Man. However, the power of inertia is too strong, and the Taoist sect is usually used to call the Third Division.
Literally speaking, the disciples of Quanzhen Dao do not seem to have direct contact with the Earth Master, but it can be clearly seen if it is replaced by the official title of Quanzhen Dao Dao. Of course, the disciples of Quanzhen Dao must be led by Quanzhen Dao Dao.
The earth master used a wooden stick to lift a corner of the curtain, revealing the bronze mask.
With the cultivation of the Earth Master, she can move with one thought, but she still chooses to use her hands. This should be a habit, used to using her hands and walking. Therefore, life is too short, so short that immortals have possessed extraordinary power, but have not yet gotten rid of their mentality as human beings. It may take thousands of years to complete the transformation of their mentality, just like the way of heaven or the devil.
Although there was a layer of bronze mask, Qi Xuansu still felt the sight of the Earth Master.
Unlike the domineering national masters or the genius masters, the earth master gives people the feeling of being deep, like a bottomless ancient well, braved the coldness and deep yin energy.
Qi Xuansu really felt a bit bit of biting chill.
After all, even the Dragon Aura of Emperor Jiushi could not suppress the Earth Master.
"Qi Xuansu, I have seen you in a strange dream." The earth master said slowly, "You will come together by chance and come to my cave with different purposes. You want to find out the truth of that false heart to prevent future troubles; she wants to collect many treasures and goods, and be free. I have seen through you long ago, saying that the gift of fate has already marked the price in secret, but it has also been plundering in my cave. Sad mother and son, if you don't have greed, how could you bear the debt of karma?"
Qi Xuansu froze and couldn't speak.
Because this passage from the Earth Master directly exposed Qi Xuansu's secret.
The "you" here obviously refers to Qi Xuansu and Qi Niang. The so-called "my cave heaven" of course refers to Lingshan cave heaven, and only the earth master is qualified to say this.
Even Qi Xuansu's little thoughts were unable to hide from the Earth Master - all the gifts of fate, but in fact, they had already secretly won the bid for the price.
This made Qi Xuansu even more determined what he was thinking, and the Earth Master kept watching him.
But that was the Lingshan Cave Heaven in the past. How did the Earth Master know? Is it Yao Liu? Or is it Yao Zu’s remnant soul? Or was the Earth Master in Lingshan Cave Heaven at that time?
This makes sense. Qi Xuansu and Qi Jiaoyao made such a big noise in Lingshan Cave Heaven, and the remains of the two great witches were alarmed. The Earth Master had no reason to be aware of anything. Perhaps it was at that time that the Earth Master came to Lingshan Cave Heaven, but for some reason, the Earth Master did not show up directly, but just watched coldly.
This is just a guess. Only the Earth Master himself knows whether it is the truth.
Qi Xuansu laughed dryly.
Master Di said: "If you want to know the truth of the false heart, true, false, false, false, and true, I always feel that I have some plans. It's okay, you will give me the false heart back now. What do you think after all?"
Qi Xuansu's complexion changed: "The Earth Master was joking."
"Just?" The earth master couldn't hear the joy and anger, "Didn't you pay it back once when you were in Lingshan Cave Heaven? How did you feel? It tastes bad."
Qi Xuansu lowered his head and suddenly felt that it was a wrong decision to come to see the Earth Master today.
The earth master still stared at Qi Xuansu: "Buddhist saying let go, can you let go? The future of the great master, the family you are thinking about, the peaceful money you call you, the beauty, power, status, honor, and immortality you can linger. Do you still want to go back to the quagmire of the past?
"My master was killed. I don't know who his enemy was, and I can't even take revenge? Faced with the killer of the "inn", I could only run away in fear, like a cat playing with a mouse, and finally I was killed in despair with someone?"
"After being injured, I have to limp over mountains and rivers with one leg, eating mooncakes that are hard to swallow? Looking at the noble girl of the Zhang family is like the moon in the sky, can you be out of reach? A arm is broken by someone, not only can I not get the hand, but I also have to feel sorry for hundreds of money for peace. In the end, I can only sigh that people are poor, short and thin and long hair are long?
"By the way, your beloved daughter is Xiao Yin, right? You are a poor person with no elderly or young people, and you are destined to be lonely and widowed in this life, so you pour all your fatherly love into this child. If you are not a real person in Shenzhi, not a big figure in the Taoist sect, have no pseudo-immortal cultivation, and have no such power, can you support her? Will she recognize you as a cheap father?
"There are also He Luo Shen, the three major evil objects, Ziguang True Lord, Qi Wu and others, including your master, Donghua, mother-in-law, Cihang, and other real people. Will they still look at you in front of you?
"Do you want to go back on such a day?"
