Qi Xuansu stood up and paced back and forth in the study: "What is missing now is not the 'Eternal Stone', but what is missing is actually time. How can you get the 'Eternal Stone Heart' of Huashengtang? Through the principles of the great master? Theoretically, of course, but there has always been a private land for the Earth Master, just like the temple sacrificial hall is the private land of the Heavenly Master. It is said that the Earth Master is the Great Master of the Huashengtang's Handicap Hall, and the Earth Master nods in everything, and cannot be avoided. In this matter, Baili Zhenye has nothing to say.

"It is best to wait until the old earth master ascends and the new earth master takes office. The new earth master has not yet established a firm foothold and cannot control so many things. If the great master continues with the order, things will be done.

"But the problem is that all kinds of signs indicate that the earth master may take action before ascending, which is a conflict. I have not thought of a good way to break the deadlock for the time being.

"Even if the master sect forcibly passes this matter, it will still be a warning to the enemy. It will only make the Earth Master take action in advance. I have obtained the "Heart of the Eternal Stone". How to refine it, how to make the new "Heart of the Eternal Stone" catch up with the old "Heart of the Eternal Stone", and how to divide the existing "Heart of the Eternal Stone" and still need to be studied slowly. This will take time, and the Earth Master will not give me this time."

Zhang Yuelu also stood up: "Time is indeed the biggest problem. If you want to find a way to break the deadlock, we must first clarify one thing, what exactly does the land master want to do?"

Qi Xuansu said: "I think it is the rank of the great master. Xuan Sheng is not within the scope of discussion. The second-generation great masters, the third-generation great masters, and the fourth-generation great masters after Xuan Sheng are all powerful masters who have expanded their territory for the Taoist sect. It is no different to the dream of seizing their power. Not to mention the fifth-generation great masters. Although he is from a poor family, he has pushed the power of the great masters to a peak, and is a powerful master who is second only to Xuan Sheng. It is difficult to protect himself in the face of the five generations of great masters, let alone targeting the great masters.

"But it is easy to break even if it is too tough, and it will decline when it is overwhelmed. The excessive centralization of the five generations of great masters led to a backlash. Therefore, the six generations of great masters who were implicated are already a rare opportunity. The early ascension of the six generations of great masters made this opportunity a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The chaos of the Taoist sect and the so-called three-person council all gave the earth master hope."

Zhang Yuelu said, "So the Earth Master chose to play the cards that had been hidden in his hand for a long time at this time, and you are this card.

"The Earth Master supports you to take over and control you, which means that the Earth Master has won the Great Master, the shadow master, and the Great Master behind the scenes.

"This grasp to control you is the 'Heart of Eternal Stone'. But you can't leave the 'Heart of Eternal Stone'. This is considered a conspiracy in a sense."

Qi Xuansu walked to the window and looked at the bamboo shadows outside through the formation and the prohibition. It was the water bamboo planted by Zhang Yuelu himself. The moon on the night of July 15th was naturally the full moon. He shone a few clusters of water bamboos on the brick and stone floor, like a floating shadow of cool water, very elegant.

"Of course it's an open conspiracy. The Earth Master is not afraid of me knowing the truth, and even takes the initiative to reveal the truth to me. What does it mean to be confident? This is to be confident." Qi Xuansu said slowly.

"What about Qi Niang's attitude?" Zhang Yuelu walked behind Qi Xuansu and took the initiative to hold his waist from behind for the first time.

"Qianniang should be on my side, but I don't know what she is doing."

Qi Xuansu covered Zhang Yuelu's back with his palm: "The Heavenly Master is a helper, the National Master is not a helper, the Great Master is a helper, and the Emperor is not a helper. The division of the Taoist sect made this matter extremely complicated. We say that the Earth Master aimed at the rank of the Great Master, but why are the National Master and the Emperor?

"If we ask for help from the National Master, then the National Master will definitely be happy to make a big fuss about this matter, put me and the Earth Master to death, and support Li Changge to the top. In this way, the Earth Master and I have common interests and are on the same boat again. The emperor even hopes that the Taoist sect will be as chaotic as possible, so that he can move the sky above his head and revitalize the glory of the royal family. The Great Master has just been promoted to the position and its foundation is unstable. In order not to repeat the mistakes of the Sixth Generation Great Master, he cannot completely tear his face with the Earth Master for the time being, and he still needs the support of the Earth Master.

"I, the master of the great master, the earth master, are like pirates on a boat. For the sake of profit, the big master will inevitably be fired and fired for the sake of profit. But when the wind and waves are together, the big ship will overturn. Whoever falls into the water first and who falls into the water later will not be spared. So we must jointly maintain the stability of the big ship. At this stage, we can only fight without breaking. If I break the can and want to lift the ship, the big master and the earth master will work together to suppress me. My own strength is not enough.

"Even if I am willing to give up my current status and give up the Grand Master, and to this point, what I am relying on is no longer my own hard work. I have already been unable to help myself. Can I retreat if I want to retreat? If I retreat, will the Grand Master, who has abandoned Yao Pei's heir, agree? Will the Tianshi who handed over the "Guizang Deng" to me agree? There are also the Ziguang True Lord, Xidao Gate, He Luo Shen, Jiang Da Zhenren, Qi Jiao Zheng, Ishichel, and three evil things. Will these allies agree? I let their investment waste, and unlike the defeat, they are the kind of people who have lost money, which will only let themselves die without a place to bury themselves.

"In the past, I heard a saying that once I entered the world, I could not help myself. But what is the world? If I enter the temple, can I be able to do this? I will only be even more involuntary. If my status is high, I will be surrounded by good people. But without this status, I will be surrounded by dragons, snakes, tigers and wolves. Killing people in the world is just a slightest point. If I kill people in the temple, life is better than death."

Zhang Yuelu leaned her head on Qi Xuansu's back. Although the cold air was so cold, she seemed to be unaware: "You have me and I have you. Things in the world will be ruined here. Of course, we cannot retreat, and if we retreat, we will be the one who serves as the slaughter. Moreover, our agreement has not yet been realized, and we agreed to change the Taoist sect together."

Qi Xuansu said: "End the division, return to unification, make the Taoist sect great again, and realize the great rejuvenation of the Taoist sect. This is of course our common wish, and it is impossible for the great master to do it."

The two fell into a long silence.

In the end, Qi Xuansu broke the silence: "Qingxiao."

"Hmm?" Zhang Yuelu was still leaning on Qi Xuansu's back and responded softly.

Qi Xuansu gently patted her hand: "The rest of us have difficulties, we can't help but be involuntarily. Now I can believe it completely, you are the only one who can trust me."

Zhang Yuelu said: "I won't accompany you to the end, we will walk side by side until the end."

Qi Xuansu was silent for a moment and said softly: "No matter what the road ahead is, I hope we will not regret it when we reach the end of the road."

Zhang Yuelu's tone was firm: "Of course we won't regret it."

Qi Xuansu closed her eyes and quietly enjoyed the beauty of this moment.

Outside the window, bamboo leaves are rustling and the bright moon is hanging high.
