Chapter 14 Preparation
It was already dusk when Qi Xuansu went to Tianji Hall.
The Tianji Hall Branch in Jinling Mansion is not far from Zhenwu Temple, just two streets away.
Unlike usual, Qi Xuansu came to the Tianji Hall branch as a dignified fifth-grade Ziwei Hall chief Taoist priest. The nine-grade Taoist priest was half a level higher than the Taoist priests in the local Taoist priests. As the head of the nine-grade hall, the Ziwei Hall Taoist priest was half a level higher than the Taoist priests in the local Taoist priests. Rounding it all means a fourth-grade Taoist priest, so the Taoist priests in charge here came forward to receive it personally.
Under the reception of the local Taoist priest, the two of them came directly to the second hall, which had a small living room. After sitting down, someone immediately gave him hot tea. Not to mention anything else, just this pot of tea is worth a peaceful amount.
However, Qi Xuansu is not here to do business. Since he bought the Hengdao "Feiying" in the Huashengtang Branch of Bohai Mansion, Qi Xuansu has only some change left. Not to mention purchasing "phoenix eyes" or "long eyes", he doesn't even have the money to ride a flying boat. But the Taoist identity is good, and everything is here. As long as the conditions are met, everything can be free, free flying boats, free Taoist temples, and free "long eyes" and "phoenix eyes".
The two exchanged a few greetings based on their colleagues. It was nothing more than the local Taoist priest who was in charge of Qi Xuansu praised Qi Xuansu for being young and promising, and had already become a Taoist priest at a young age. It was still in Ziwei Hall. It was a matter of time before and night to be promoted to the fourth rank, and there was a bright future. Qi Xuansu had to be humble and over-reward, ask about the local customs and customs, and then talk about the case that everyone was concerned about.
Then we get to the point.
Qi Xuansu took out Lei Xiaohuan's handwriting and handed it to the Taoist priest in charge.
The Taoist priest in charge took the warrant and understood it as soon as he saw it. There was no need to ask anything more, and there was no need to talk nonsense. He called a subordinate and handed the warrant to him, so that he could prepare the corresponding things as ordered by the warrant.
This scene is somewhat similar to a pharmacy guy taking medicine according to prescriptions.
The Taoist priest in charge did not move and still drank tea and chatted with Qi Xuansu.
After about two incense sticks, a seventh-grade Taoist priest walked in with a suitcase that was quite influenced by Western style.
The Taoist priest in charge reached out and pointed to the table between the two: "Open."
The seventh-grade Taoist priest placed the box on the table and opened it, and turned to Qi Xuansu.
I saw a special snap-fit fixing structure in the box, with five "Phoenix Eyes Two", three "Phoenix Eyes One", and two "Phoenix Eyes Nine".
Qi Xuansu looked at the "Phoenix Eyes Jiajiu" and felt a lot of emotion.
The last time he used "Phoenix Eyes Jiajiu" was in the Western Regions. He was able to kill Diswin, who was seriously injured in his vitality. "Phoenix Eyes Jiajiu" was an indelible contribution.
There is a circle of slightly smaller snaps around the "Phoenix Eye Series", with a total of ten "Longjing Yiyi". Compared with "Longjing Yiyi", "Longjing Yiyi" is very narrow and long, increasing the range and Ar-breaking attributes, and is more suitable for long guns. However, the "Dragon Pistol" is said to be specially developed for the "Longjing" series, and "Longjing Yiyi" can also be used. However, its huge recoil is not something that anyone can control with one hand.
I have to say that the real person’s special approval is just a grand one, starting directly with “Long Eye Yi Yi” and “Phoenix Eye Yi Er”, which is much better than what Qi Xuansu used before.
Qi Xuansu closed the box, stood up and thanked the two of them: "I'm working hard."
"It should be." The Taoist priest in charge also stood up and gave him a message.
After Qi Xuansu left the Tianji Hall branch, he went back to his residence in Zhenwu Temple. Before officially starting the mission, he had to prepare for it.
Because Qi Xuansu does not have Sumeru treasures, he cannot carry all the "Phoenix Eyes" series. Except for the two most powerful "Phoenix Eyes A Nine", "Phoenix Eyes" and "Phoenix Eyes B" can only carry two each. However, the "Dragon Eyes" series is small in size and can be brought with them all. Moreover, Qi Xuansu can give up ordinary armor-breaking projectiles, four "Dragon Eyes B2", eight "Dragon Eyes B3", and ten "Dragon Eyes B1", which is very rich.
Qi Xuansu even thought about buying a fire gun.
The principle of continuous fire guns is not complicated. The reason why the "Shenlong Pistol" is designed as a single-shot structure is because the "Dragon Eye" series is too powerful. However, there is a "Sun Shooting Long Gun" in Tianjitang. Although it cannot be fired continuously without intervals, it has added an ammunition compartment and can load nine rounds of bullets without having to load them once, which greatly saves time.
Another thing is cold weapons. For Qi Xuansu, fire weapons are not necessary, swords are the fundamentals. His short sword "Qingyuan" and horizontal sword "Feiying" are real people who must carry them with you.
Finally, there was a hidden weapon. The "Seven Phoenix Feathers" were sold by Qi Xuansu, leaving only four "Elysian Needles". Unless they hit the key point, their power was limited. The key was that they could limit the level of the opponent's cultivation. Even Zhang Yuelu had been attacked.
The musket, a horizontal knife, one on the left and one on the right, is hung on the waist, the short sword is behind the waist, the "dragon eye" and "phoenix eye" are placed in the shoulder bag, and the hidden weapon is hidden between the sleeves.
After doing this, Qi Xuansu put on a white fox-faced mask, chose the face of a young man from three fixed faces, and changed into the fifth-grade Taoist priest formal outfit that he had just worn for a few days. However, he did not change to a short dress for the Jianghu people who were worth ten money, but instead wore that regular dress. After all, it was too eye-catching to dress as a Jianghu people in Zhenwu Temple.
In addition, Qi Xuansu also obtained a "task fund" of 500 Taiping money from Lei Xiaohuan, which can be used for daily expenses, or for bribery, etc.
As for Qi Xuansu's Taoist sect's silver and subsidies in the past few months, according to the fifth-grade Taoist priest, the basic silver is 50 yuan per month, and the candidate's sacrificial subsidy is 20 yuan per month, and the monthly income of 70 yuan per month is 350 yuan per month. However, we have to wait until the first day of June to collect an integer, and we still can't get it yet.
Also, Qi Xuansu failed to get Qi Niang's 1,000 Taiping Money, and he had to wait until Qi Niang arrived at Jinling Mansion to get it.
It was already late at this time. In summer, Jinling Mansion was a prosperous place. At this time, there should be countless people enjoying the cool air, and the night market was even more lively. However, the surrounding area of Zhenwu Temple was quiet. In addition, the courtyard of Zhenwu Temple was deep. Due to the case, the atmosphere was quite serious and solemn. There was no sense of excitement here, except quietness.
Qi Xuansu came out of the yard where he lived and walked towards the back door of Zhenwu Temple.
After the heavy rain, a bright moon was hanging, and there were dim street lights beside the winding path. Qi Xuansu was walking, getting closer and closer to the back door of the Taoist temple.
"Who?" A spiritual official sent by Jiangnan Daofu suddenly asked in the dark.
Qi Xuansu was not surprised, but said, "The deacon of Tiangang Hall wants to go out for a walk."
There were more than one spiritual officer in charge of the guards, all in different positions. One spiritual officer walked out of secretly, took the initiative to salute, and said, "Please show your waist card."
Generally speaking, the rituals are for outsiders to see, and the Taoist sect attaches more importance to positions.
Although Qi Xuansu had the new licence and Ziweitang waist card, Zhang Yuelu did not take back his Tiangangtang deacon waist card.
Qi Xuansu took out the waist sign and handed it to the spiritual official.
There is one advantage of waist cards. There is no name on it, only a number. You can check the identity through this number, but you cannot directly know the identity of the holder through the waist cards. After all, the deacon is very frequent at the first level. In order to prevent counterfeiting, waist cards are made of special materials and must be reused. It is impossible to recast a waist card if you change a deacon, which is too expensive.
However, when he reached the level of the fourth-grade Taoist priest and the deputy hall master, the waist sign was abolished and changed to a talisman, which was unique rather than reused by each person. The fourth-grade Taoist priest was first given the "Chu Zhen Jing Qi Qi Qi", the third-grade Taoist priest was promoted to the "Zhong Ji Jing Qi Qi", the second-grade Taoist priest was promoted to the "Shangdong Jing Qi", the second-grade Taoist priest was promoted to the "Tai Xuan Jing Qi", the first-grade Taoist priest was given to the "Tai Shang Du Gong Jing Qi", and the deputy head teacher Da Zhenren gave the "Tai Shang Tao Te Jing Qi".
After checking Qi Xuansu's waist card, the spirit official opened the lock with the key, moved down a very large horizontal door latch, and opened a door.
Qi Xuansu took advantage of the night to leave Zhenwu Temple and saw that there were many spiritual officials standing outside Zhenwu Temple, all wearing spiritual officials armor and lined up against the wall, which showed that the garrison was so strict.
Chapter completed!
