Qiu Zhiqing then lived in Bianjing City and the Chuxiang Palace of the Shangqing Dynasty, and served as Zhao Xu's adviser from time to time.

Of course, he didn't ask for Zhao Xu's reward, he didn't care too much about these things, and he wasn't too interested in becoming famous in Beijing!

Every time Zhao Xu asked about politics, Qiu Zhiqing would not express his opinions directly. He would only analyze why the person who submitted the memorial did what he did and what interests were entangled in it.

After everything is done, Zhao Xu will be asked for his opinion!

This is not a school examination, nor is it a political inquiry, it is just a mutual discussion and learning from each other.

Zhao Xu was not used to it at first, but slowly, he fell in love with this feeling. It was different from the court where the emperor and his ministers were asking each other's questions. It was a game filled with their own interests.

Even Queen Meng, who occasionally came to wait on her, was able to express her opinions. Zhao Xu was a little unhappy at first, but as time went by, he was infected by Qiu Zhiqing's attitude.

By the way, the prejudice against Queen Meng has been reduced a lot. After all, she is also a general, and she still knows more about some military matters than Zhao Xu and Qiu Zhiqing.

Zhao Xu felt that the discussion with Qiu Zhiqing was more like...how should I put it?

It’s more like an equal discussion between Taoist friends, yes! It’s a discussion of Tao!

After thinking about this section, even Zhao Xu admired Qiu Zhiqing for being able to study things he had never encountered in a Taoist way, and at the same time he was teaching himself.

Chong He, how dare you say you don’t know how to govern a country!

…

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Master Huayang also introduced several Taoist friends to Qiu Zhiqing. Unexpectedly, one of them turned out to be an acquaintance.

"This needs no introduction, Taoist friend Yunxuzi. I haven't seen you for a long time. Should I give Pindao an explanation?"

Seeing Qiu Zhiqing staring at Yun Xuzi with an unkind look on his face, all the other Taoists looked puzzled. Yun Xuzi had been in the south and had just arrived in Bianliang.

And this Master Chonghe, according to what Master Huayang said, shouldn't he be practicing in Zhongnan Mountain?

How come from this tone, it seems that the two of them are having some trouble?

Seeing that Yun Xuzi was silent, Master Huayang wanted to mediate and was about to speak, but was stopped by Qiu Zhiqing.

"Brother Taoist, this is a personal grudge. The calamity a few months ago was caused by this fellow Taoist Yunxuzi! I really don't know where I have offended fellow Taoist Yunxuzi, so that I am so implicated."

road?"

Master Huayang stopped talking now. A few months ago, it could be said that there was a fatal disaster in the conflict. If it were not for his tyranny and the help of "noble people", it is estimated that he would not be seen at the Mid-Autumn Festival today.

Yun Xuzi also didn't expect that he would meet Qiu Zhiqing here. If he wanted to use Qiu Zhiqing's hand to get rid of Wan Changgeng, then forget it.

After all, that was a trivial matter to Qiu Zhiqing, but Zhenren Luo’s ambush before almost killed Qiu Zhiqing!

Seeing the black and white Qi flowing in the palm of Qiu Zhiqing's left hand, he was ready to take action if he disagreed with him. When the Taoists around him saw this, they all backed away from him.

When the field was emptied, it could be seen that Qiu Zhiqing was alone, while behind Yun Xuzi stood two young Taoist priests.

The two young Taoist priests were making secrets with one hand and making secrets with the other, and their feet were uneven. This was the standard Yubu posture. Seeing this, Qiu Zhiqing frowned.

This is the standard Shenxiao Dao starting move. Who are these two?

After some struggle, Yun Xuzi finally waved his hand, signaling the two young men behind him to stop, and stepped forward to apologize respectfully:

"Brother Chonghe, it was Pindao who plotted against you before. Brother Taoist wants to seek justice from Pindao. It is excusable. How do you like this, fellow Taoist? This thing is used as an apology.

Pindao will borrow the "Tai Shang Alchemy Sutra" to have a look with Brother Tao again, and this matter will be revealed, okay?"

With that said, he took out a box and threw it to Qiu Zhiqing. The two young Taoist priests behind him wanted to say something, but they were stopped by Yun Xuzi.

Qiu Zhiqing stretched out his hand and the box slowly fell into Qiu Zhiqing's hand. It was non-toxic!

Thinking about it, Yun Xuzi wouldn't be so unwise.

Opening the flat wooden box, there was a jade jade lying inside.

For a moment, Qiu Zhiqing couldn't help but remember that the leader of the group of Japanese who attacked him at Zhenyi Temple three years ago mentioned that what they were looking for was a "jade".

"This is the 'Tian Shu Jade'!"

A veteran in the crowd suddenly spoke up, letting Qiu Zhiqing know what this thing was, and the subsequent comments made Qiu Zhiqing's face darken.

It turns out that this is the legendary wordless heavenly book, but it will take hundreds of years for someone to understand it, and now, Yun Xuzi gave it to Qiu Zhiqing without hesitation...

Seeing Qiu Zhiqing's expression, Yun Xuzi immediately took out a book. This time he did not throw it to Qiu Zhiqing, but handed it to him respectfully.

This is the inheritance their ancestor received from Ge Hong!

If you look closely, you will see that there are four big characters written in small seal script on it - "Tai Shang Dan Jing".

But this is not enough. This is considered an apology from before. So what should we do about this frame-up?

The reason why Yun Xuzi handed over the "Jade Bis from Heaven" to Qiu Zhiqing in front of everyone was to get rid of the pursuit. Why did they hide all the way and finally hide in the imperial city?

Not only are they afraid of being hunted, but they also know what they want. If they just want the "Book of Heaven and Jade Bi", they will give it to them without hesitation.

But the key is that they still wanted their lives, so they hid in the Shangqing Chuxiang Palace in the imperial city. However, they didn't expect that they would meet Qiu Zhiqing here, and the crisis suddenly arose.

With Qiu Zhiqing's ability, he Yun Xuzi also knew something about it, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to run away so simply, not even leaving his hometown!

Looking at Qiu Zhiqing's expression, Yun Xuzi knew that with a slight movement in his hand, one book became two books. Seeing this, Qiu Zhiqing's expression softened slightly.

He stretched out his hand and found two books and a jade, which meant that the matter had been revealed!

When Master Huayang saw this, he also expressed cheerfully that we all are of the same mind and can just talk to each other if we have anything to say. There is no misunderstanding that cannot be resolved.

Yun Xuzi got off the donkey along the slope, expressed his apology, and took advantage of the situation to express his wish to find a job for himself and his two apprentices in Chuxiang Palace of Shangqing.

Master Huayang hesitated, mainly because of the relationship between Qiu Zhiqing and Yun Xuzi, so he looked at Qiu Zhiqing and wanted to ask for his opinion.

Yun Xuzi felt a little uneasy. If they couldn't settle down in the capital, the three masters and disciples would probably have to live a life of a battle royale again. They were no match for the young Taoist priest in gorgeous clothes...

Glancing at Yun Xuzi's expectant eyes, Qiu Zhiqing nodded to Master Huayang, indicating that he didn't care, and Master Huayang agreed that the three of them should stay.

The Chuxiang Palace of the Shangqing Dynasty is different from other Taoist palaces. It is the family temple of the old Zhao family and is located in the imperial city!

Therefore, if you want to stay in the Shangqing Chuxiang Palace for a long time, you need the approval of the presiding Taoist priest and the relevant departments.

…

Now that the personal grudges have been resolved, let’s get down to business!

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the purpose of bringing everyone together is not just to get to know each other. Opening a forum to pray is an indispensable program, followed by discussions about Taoism and admiring the moon.

But when Qiu Zhiqing returned to his room, he took out the book that Yun Xuzi had hidden underneath, and when he took it out, he found it was a copy of the "Nine Cauldron Alchemy Sutra".

Good guy, this guy has freed up all the good stuff from his sect.

But what really interests Qiu Zhiqing is the "Jade Bibi from the Book of Heaven", which is rumored to be one of the gifts given to the emperor by Xuannv. Every few hundred years, a destined person will appear and be blessed by it.

However, someone has obviously obtained this "good fortune". The most likely ones are Yun Xuzi's two disciples, the two guys who were holding talismans and standing behind Yun Xuzi and wanted to take action.

If it is true, it is obvious that this is a teaching material that Xuannv gave to the emperor. However, not everyone can understand this teaching material. It will take hundreds of years for someone to be able to understand part of it.

He still needs to be able to touch this "heavenly book and jade"!

Qiu Zhiqing took out the jade and looked at it carefully. The main body of the jade was round, with protrusions like two ears on top, and a square platform below. The overall feeling was...

It's inexplicably a bit...a bit...cute?

The front is as smooth as a mirror, and the back is engraved with various auspicious patterns.

I closed my eyes for a moment and hammered the "Liuhe Pagoda" a few times. This guy made a little noise when he opened the wooden box containing the jade.

Now I put the things in front of me without making any sound.

Qiu Zhiqing suddenly thought, could this thing be a magic weapon?

Thinking of this, the power of Yang Shen rushed towards the jade, but the jade was not afraid. Unfortunately, Qiu Zhiqing had almost squeezed himself dry, and there was still no reaction...

Unwilling to give up, Qiu Zhiqing used his own innate true energy to inject it into the jade.

This time there was some reaction, the jade seemed to flash for a moment, but then it disappeared, and then calmness returned.

He finally reacted, so he couldn't give up easily. However, half an hour later, Qiu Zhiqing's face began to turn dark, and an hour later, his face turned from black to white...

An hour and a half later, Qiu Zhiqing was speechless when he looked at the "Tian Shu Jade" that was indeed brighter. That's it?

No, there is only one more move!

He stretched out his left index finger, made a slight stroke with his thumb, and a drop of blood fell on the jade. Unfortunately, there was still no response. It seemed that there was no use holding it.

He put it on the bedside and opened the "Tai Shang Dan Jing" and "Jiuding Dan Jing" given by Yun Xuzi and started reading.

Although the important cultivation method was deliberately hidden by Yun Xuzi, it seemed that it was originally intended to be given to someone, but he didn't expect to give it to himself after meeting him today.

Otherwise, there is a high probability that it will be given to Master Huayang and used as a stepping stone.

While Qiu Zhiqing was reading the Alchemy Sutra, the piece of jade he had left aside was slowly emitting light, and the soft light became brighter and brighter...

Qiu Zhiqing, who felt something strange, turned around and saw a flawless white light suddenly appearing where the jade was originally placed, and it flashed away.
Chapter completed!
