Wu Niang left first, Qi Xuansu asked Xiao Yin to leave first, and he walked alone at the end.
After playing this game, Qi Xuansu still had some insights. Without the blessing of the Taoist system, many things will be difficult to do.
The condition of an organization is interests, while the condition of existence of power is the right to distribute interests. But the most fundamental basis is how to establish an organizational structure that can generate interests.
The organizational structure of the Taoist sect was gradually established and improved by generations, and the benefits it can generate are extremely huge. The top leaders of the Taoist sect represented by the Dazhuan and Jinque have mastered the right to distribute these interests.
Qi Xuansu is still suitable for fighting in the Taoist sect. If he really leaves the Taoist sect and starts from scratch, it will be useless.
Since you want to fight in the Taoist sect, you must continue to do human affairs. The top priority is to help Qi Jiaozheng become the Great Master of the Palm Palace in Zixiao Palace. It is mainly divided into several aspects: First, Qi Jiaozheng is about to become an immortal, second, Jiang Dazhen recommends, third, Qi Jiaozheng is engaged in a political achievement project, and fourth, the Great Master of the Nod, which is also the most important thing.
Qi Xuansu is responsible for the Zhengzhen Jiang and the Grand Master, and Qi Xue is responsible for the other two aspects.
Qi Jiaozheng's cultivation can use the resources accumulated by the Qi family. The political achievements project is the ancient commercial road in Shuzhou, which has been decided.
Qi Xuansu plans to go to Jiang Dazhenren first to explore his old man's tone. Even if he is a master, he must respect Jiang Dazhenren's opinions. If Jiang Dazhenren strongly opposes it, then the master is not good to force him to recommend it.
After leaving the Huizhen Palace, Qi Xuansu went directly to Zixiao Palace.
The Taoist institution of Zixiao Palace is called Miluo Palace, which is located south of Weiming Palace, connected by a long corridor in the middle.
The area of Miluo Palace is larger than that of Weiming Palace, because Weiming Palace is only used by the great masters. At most, with the great master's wife, everyone else goes there to report on their work and will not stay for a long time. Komio Palace is a place where many people work, including a master of the palace and nine assistants, so it covers a larger area.
Jiang Dazhenren usually lives in the Miluo Palace.
Qi Xuansu arrived at Zixiao Palace, and the eldest son and his wife had not returned yet because the emperor was about to leave Yujing. The eldest son and his group were invited to the emperor and his group at Dayuxu Palace.
Since Qi Xuansu was not notified, there was no need to go. After all, there were so many real people in the school, and there were also many real people in Pingzhang. There was no shortage of Qi Xuansu, so there was no need to join in the fun of everything.
Nominally, Qi Xuansu is just a real person in the office, and there is no position as a "little master". When the matter in Yujing comes to an end, Qi Xuansu still has to return to the one-acre and three-point land of the Daxue Mountain Palace. He can't run away from both ends, so he doesn't have to attend such social banquets unless it is a major ceremony.
The great master is different. He represents the Taoist sect and is the protagonist of the banquet celebration. Who is the supporting role and whether there are supporting roles are all in detail. Only the protagonist cannot be missing, so the great master must attend. If the great master is not available, there is still the great master's wife.
It happened that Zheng Da Zhenren Jiang didn't go either and was in the Miluo Palace.
After the notice, Qi Xuansu came to the signing room of Jiang Dazhenren in Miluo Hall.
This is the first time Qi Xuansu has been here, which is obviously much smaller than the signing room of the Grand Master.
The signing room was a bit messy at this time. Apart from a book case, there was not even a chair for reception of guests. The bookshelf by the wall was empty, and boxes were piled on the ground, and seals were stamped on each box. You could tell at a glance that the owner here was about to leave the place.
There were files piled on both sides of the table, covered with red stamps with the words "top secret". A purple lotus crown was exposed in the space between the files, which was Jiang Dazhen.
The old man seemed to be writing something.
Without a chair and the owner didn't greet him, Qi Xuansu simply stood there.
He had an intuition that as the seven generations of great masters settled, Jiang Dazhenren took off not only four great masters of immortals, but also had a heavy burden. The old man began to deliberately downplay his influence. If he used four words to describe it, it would be "retire after success."
What I saw today confirms this speculation.
"Is the discussion over?" Jiang Dazhenren, who was writing quickly, took the time to ask.
"It's over, the draw." Qi Xuansu did not talk too much about the chess game. Not only did Xiao Yin not be satisfied, but he himself was not satisfied.
Then Qi Xuansu naturally changed the topic: "The emperor is leaving Beijing today, and the chief sect holds a banquet to see the emperor off."
"You must call Zi Ji Da Zhenren." Jiang Da Zhenren finally finished writing the last stroke of the paper. "No matter what, he is a Taoist priest of the Taoist sect and then the emperor of the court. This is a matter of principle."
Qi Xuansu did not refute: "To put it bluntly, whether Zi Jida Zhenren is the emperor of the Taoist sect or the emperor of the Confucian sect is a question that remains to be discussed."
"To be precise, he wants to be the emperor of the Three Cults." Jiang Dazhenren stood up from a bunch of files. Compared to usual, Jiang Dazhenren today seems more easy-going and relaxed.
Then Jiang Dazhen waved his hand casually and "created" a chair out of thin air: "Sit down."
For an immortal, it is not difficult to create something out of nothing in the void.
But this kind of trick is not very useful, and in most cases there is no need for this.
If there were no chairs made of rosewood, how could the world know that I was arrogant and extremely noble?
Qi Xuansu sat opposite Jiang Dazhenren and glanced at Jiang Dazhenren's book case: "What is Dazhenren writing?"
Jiang Dazhenren also sat down again without hiding it: "I have worked in this Miluo Hall for decades. There are so many things to hand over. I have written so much and so many more."
Qi Xuansu looked at everything around him again and asked, "Has the intention of Jiang Da Zhenren left?"
"These are my personal belongings. I plan to move them home and leave them to my nephews." Jiang Dazhenren said, "I have submitted my resignation to the Grand Master. The Grand Master agreed in principle, but I will wait for him to appoint a new Zixiao Palace Grand Master."
Although Qi Xuansu had expected it, he was still filled with emotion when he heard this answer: "When I just entered the Taoist Sect, you were the Great Master of the Palm Palace in Zixiao Palace. If you don't become the Great Master of the Palm Palace, it's really uncomfortable."
Jiang Dazhen leaned back on the back of the chair: "I'm old."
Although Jiang Dazhenren will not feel overwhelmed by his old age, he has indeed spent less and less time in this world.
"I'm going to prepare for my funeral after death." Jiang Dazhenren continued, "It's always been the old wave that pushes the old wave that pushes the old wave that makes a new wave that changes the old. In this world, there are fewer and fewer old friends, some people die, some people ascend. In short, if they all leave this world, I will have this day, and this day is not far away."
Qi Xuansu said, "But the Third Division has not ascended yet."
"We are different." Jiang Dazhenren waved his hand, "With the cultivation of the third master, there is actually a possibility of surviving the heavenly tribulation. They are afraid that they will ascend first, and the other two choose to take risks and not ascend, so it is highly likely that they will delay to the last moment and then ascend again. I don't have to do this, and for me, the risk of delaying to the last moment is too great. If by accident, I fail to ascend on time and the heavenly tribulation falls, I don't have the confidence to successfully pass the tribulation. Even if the third master misses the opportunity to ascense, at least they still have the strength to fight, about 50% of the fifths, which is their confidence."
Zhenren Jiang Da paused: "Of course, the third division will not risk experiencing tribulation. Once it fails, it will be a death-death. It is not cost-effective and not worth it."
Qi Xuansu understood that Jiang Da Zhenren was not nostalgic about the position of the Zixiao Palace, but nostalgic about the world.
Jiang Dazhenren said: "Tianyuan, let's discuss if you don't be angry."
Qi Xuansu said: "Please tell me the big real person."
Jiang Dazhenren said: "If Qingxiao is gone, you will... Let's use the Western statement, will you start over? Don't rush to answer me, and don't be perfunctory. Think about it carefully before answering me. After all, there are probably not many opportunities for us to talk like this. Maybe we will see each other again in the future, which is also a matter of Jiazi."
Qi Xuansu thought seriously for a moment as he spoke and replied: "No. Even if I put aside the relationship between Qingxiao and I, Dazhenren, knows that I am not interested in female sex, and of course, I am not interested in male sex and Yin-Yang people. If Qingxiao had not been there from the beginning, then I would not have gotten married at all, but lived alone for the rest of my life."
Jiang Dazhenren joked: "I don't like to ask for a wife, I like to raise a daughter, right?"
Qi Xuansu said: "Actually, my son is fine, I won't pick it."
Jiang Dazhen sighed: "It's a pity that I don't have a son or a daughter. But when I was young, there was a Taoist couple."
Qi Xuansu was surprised: "I have never heard of it."
Jiang Dazhenren said: "Because she has passed away for forty years."
Qi Xuansu hesitated for a moment: "Can you talk to me?"
"Her name is Lin Yao, and she is an deputy hall master of Kunlun Dao Mansion." Jiang Dazhenren said slowly, "This is the position she held before her death. Her death was an accident. In the first twenty years after her death, I never mentioned her to others, but after the last twenty years, time will heal all the pain. I occasionally think of her, and I miss her very much."
Qi Xuansu whispered: "You must have been a Taoist couple for a long time."
"It's not long enough." Jiang Dazhen's tone was a little low, "We have walked through thirty-six spring and autumn together."
Qi Xuansu sighed.
Jiang Dazhenren continued: "We are considered young couples. After she left, I made the same choice as you, and there was no so-called restart. Why did we become Taoist couples? It's not for some low-level desires, but more for spiritual support, companionship and sustenance. When she takes one step first, I'm over fifty years old and no longer young. Maybe I have a second thirty-six years, but I will never have the mentality of my youth anymore.
"The most miserable person is no longer a young man, and there is no beginning again. The first half of a person's life is to do addition, from nothing to something, and there are more and more people around him. The second half of a person's life is to do subtraction, from something to nothing, and there are fewer and fewer people around him. Whenever I lose an old friend, my nostalgia for this world is one point less.
