Chapter 166: Long-Term Observation for Forty-Three Years

After midnight, time officially entered the 43rd year of Jiushi.

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

In the past two years, Qi Xuansu has jumped three stages from Kunlun stage to Tianren stage, and also jumped three grades from seventh-grade Taoist priest to fourth-grade Taoist priest.

He has seen many great figures and participated in many major events.

More importantly, he met Zhang Yuelu.

In a vanity fair called Taoism, it is full of betrayal and loyalty, ambition and ideals, killing and power, and everything must pay attention to interests and trade-offs, but the two young men and women still believe in the existence of feelings and put them into practice, which seems a bit out of place and precious.

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

Now, even a blind man can see that Qi Xuansu has a promising future. If he continues to be humble about being a nobody, he is just lying with his eyes open. He is just slightly inferior to Li, Yao, and Zhang. Not having the qualifications to compete for the position of Grand Master does not mean that he has no future. The Deputy Master, the Great Master, and the Great Master are also big figures standing at the top of power.

Just kidding, it is well known that there are four of the Three Beauties of Taoism.

With Qi Xuansu's current status, as long as he wants, he will not lack the so-called peach blossom luck.

But he feels that even if he becomes the Great Master, the Great Master, or even the Grand Master in the future, he will not change a bit.

The feelings of acquaintances at an early age 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 Qi Niang, no one knew that he had a "heart of immortal stone" in his body, and he had never merged with the "Xuanyu". He was just a casual person. As for the future, although he entered Tiangang Hall, as a Taoist disciple from Wanxiang Dao Palace, without sufficient talent and qualifications, he would not have a high realm of cultivation. Without sufficient realm of cultivation, it is naturally difficult to establish merits. In addition, without the help of a master and family, there is probably no future to speak of.

Who would look down on such Qi Xuansu?

Li Qingnu?

Why would the big courtesan look down on someone who can't protect her from the wind and rain? If Qi Xuansu didn't have this cultivation from "Xuanyu", when Lu Yunfeng harassed Li Qingnu, he was knocked to the ground by Lu Yunfeng's servants with three punches and two kicks, like a drowned dog. Would Li Qingnu still look up to him?

Yao Pei?

Putting aside the relationship with Qi Niang, without the blessing of "Xuanyu" and without sufficient value, would the daughter of the Yao family who practiced "Taishang Wangqing Jing" be friends with a guy who read "Jianxiushan Master" as "Jianxiushan Master Heren"? Looking for his profound knowledge?

I'm afraid even Ke Qingqing would look down on him.

Because I saved your life, because I saved your family, because I am strong, because I have a high status, so 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, I am not strong, my status is not high, I am still me, but you don't thank me, don't like me, and don't love me.

Qi Xuansu felt that this was meaningless.

He didn't want to be a tool, and didn't want to be trusted, used, relied on, and liked because of a certain function and the value he could provide.

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

The old ox will eventually stop working, and the ox will be slaughtered and eaten when it is old. When he is useless, should he break off the friendship?

Only Zhang Yuelu is an exception.

It's not because of the so-called fourth show of Taoism, nor because of his relationship with Qi Niang, nor because of his promising future.

It's just because of him as a person.

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

When Qi Xuansu was weak, Zhang Yuelu was not overbearing, and when Qi Xuansu was strong, Zhang Yuelu was not

a little bird-like.

She was moved by Qi Xuansu's selflessness for her, and she would not be resentful when Qi Xuansu was powerless.

When she didn't know Qi Niang's identity, Zhang Yuelu treated Qi Xuansu equally and could fight for him with her family. After knowing Qi Niang's identity, Zhang Yuelu did not try to please Qi Niang, but responded to Qi Niang with scrutiny and suspicion.

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

So Qi Xuansu, who was so self-centered, was willing to jump for Zhang Yuelu. It was not impulsive, nor was it unreasonable.

Because Zhang Yuelu never regarded him as a tool, not because he could provide some value, she did this and that, just because of him.

Zhang Yuelu did not want to be Qi Xuansu's vassal, nor did she want Qi Xuansu to be her vassal.

Qi Xuansu felt that he had never met a woman as good as Zhang Yuelu before, and there would be no such 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 ended, Qi Xuansu still held Zhang Yuelu.

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

The fireworks had already dispersed, so it was not a big spoiler.

Qi Xuansu's expression froze slightly, and then he said: "Maybe it's because you kissed me, it's all right in a moment."

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 deny this wish. No one will know about it anyway, so I am fighting against myself. 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 what happened in the past, and I don't care about what happens now. But I didn't say I don't care about what happens in 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. It doesn't matter. 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 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 Master 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."
