With all the plans, Qi Xuansu and Yao Pei have known each other for less than an hour. They are not considered as an acquaintance, let alone a friend, but they are slightly better than strangers.

Many times, it is most taboo to talk in a simple and profound way, especially for such a life-related matter, Qi Xuansu is even more unlikely to admit it casually, even if he guessed that Yao Pei had something to do with Qi Niang, after all, both of them were surnamed Yao.

So Qi Xuansu denied, "Fellow Daoist Yao's words are unreasonable. I am not even a god. Can I have any interaction with the number one person on the Taiping List?"

"That may not be." Yao Pei said lightly, "I heard that during the battle in Jinling Mansion, the Lord Yao Fang of Qibaofang competed with Wu Guangbi, the leader of the Great Daoist of the 'Tianting', for 'Xuanyu'. As a result, the Lord Yao Fang threw 'Xuanyu' to fellow Daoist Qi. If it were said that fellow Daoist Qi had no relationship with Lord Yao, it would not be convincing."

Qi Xuansu did not answer positively, but said: "Fellow Daoist Yao's news is very informative. First, I heard about the secret agreement between Zheng Yidao and Quanzhendao, and now I heard about the affairs of Jinling Mansion. People often say that scholars know all about the world if they don't go out. Fellow Daoist Yao is even better."

Yao Pei said with a blank expression: "It would be strange if I don't know anything."

Qi Xuansu thought a few times, and finally decided to be more secure. He first asked Qi Niang, the master of Yao Fang, before deciding whether to contact Yao Pei, so he said: "It's true that it's similar to fellow Taoist Yao's question. I have heard it once from the Li family. Fellow Yao might as well guess how did I answer?"

Yao Pei said: "Then you firmly deny it."

Qi Xuansu bowed: "If there is nothing else for fellow Taoist Yao, I will say goodbye first."

Yao Pei didn't say anything, but just stood with his hands behind his back.

Qi Xuansu turned around and walked towards Mingtang along the Changqiao.

Yao Pei did not entangle Qi Xuansu, but just stood there, looking at Qi Xuansu's back, and suddenly closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes, he no longer had a dead fish eye that seemed to have not woken up. He was full of energy, and his eyes were still calm, but no longer a stagnant pool, but a quiet lake. The difference between the two is that the running water does not rot and the door hinge does not rot. The "Taishang Forgetful Love Sutra" pursues forgetful love, not ruthlessness. If it is silent, like a stone, only ruthlessness is left, but instead falls into the inferior.

As Zhang Yuelu expected, Yao Pei was subject to the various disadvantages of the "Taishang Forgetful Love Sutra" and was indeed not normal, he was confused and unstable, but he would also have a short "wake-up" moment. However, this short moment of awakening was like a three-foot long sword being unsheathed and showing its sharpness.

Qi Xuansu returned directly to his residence in Zhenyuan, sealed the access control, came to the study, took out the two jade slips left by Zhang Yuelu, and began to continue practicing the "Qi-seeing Technique" and "Innate Divine Calculation".

It’s okay to say that the former is a simplified version of the “Immortal Qi-seeing Technique”, there is nothing difficult. The key is that the latter, as one of the core magical powers of the inheritance of the scattered people, is still quite difficult and cannot be achieved overnight.

It was lunch time unconsciously, and not everyone could fast. If they were not specifically stated, there would be a special person to deliver food to the door. Qi Xuansu happened to be the type who did not fast. After hearing the knock on the door, he put away two jade slips, opened the door and took the food box from the ninth-grade Taoist priest, and did not forget to thank him.

After all, it is the standard of a fourth-rank priest who priested the wine. Of course, it will not be shabby, but it cannot be said that it is rich. There are four dishes in total, one lamb leg, one duck soup, one bean sprouts, and one cabbage.

Qi Xuansu first drank a sip of duck soup, but almost spit it out. It was very salty. There was no way, so he tasted the lamb legs again, which were old and tickle. Not to mention the lamb legs, I was afraid it was not the skinny old lamb legs. As for the two vegetarian dishes, it looked good, Qi Xuansu tasted them, how could he say, one word "old" and the other word "sheng" summarize everything.

When he was in the palace, he thought that the upper palace had lived a life of immortals, but it turned out to be old, thin, raw, and hard. Of course, this is much better than the food rations of ordinary people, but the Taoist sect would not specifically allocate funds to cook for ordinary people. There was a funding on it, but it turned out to be like this. I really don’t know how much I was greedy, nor how many people had greedy for fat.

Qi Xuansu even doubted whether they did this on purpose and forced many fourth-grade Taoist priests to take the initiative to fast, so that they could save a lot of money.

As for why Zhang Yuelu didn’t mention it, she probably didn’t know who asked her to fast?

However, Qi Xuansu had suffered after all, and had eaten all the dry food that was as cold as stones, so he would not be unable to swallow it. He quickly finished eating these, put the bowls, chopsticks, cups and plates back into the food box, and hung the food box in front of the door, then left Zhenyuan and went to Kunyuan.

As the residence of the Great Master of the Palm Palace and some high-ranking Taoist priests, Kun Garden is very quiet, and because it is only connected with Dui Garden, few people come.

Qi Xuansu spent half an hour hiking through Dui Garden, which had a layout similar to Zhen Garden, and came to the gate of Kun Garden.

There was a female crown and two spiritual officials guarding the door here. After seeing the jade pendant on Qi Xuansu's waist, he did not turn him out, but asked very politely: "What's the point of doing this mage?"

Qi Xuansu took out the famous post given by Zhang Yuelu and handed it to the female crown.

According to the rules, when visiting, you should send your famous post to the owner here, but in a sense, the owner's famous post is also a kind of pass.

After checking the authenticity of the famous post, the female crown returned the famous post to Qi Xuansu with both hands and whispered: "Master, please come with me."

After entering Kun Garden, Qi Xuansu found that this place is very different from Zhen Garden and Dui Garden, with fewer buildings, but each yard covers a larger area. Moreover, the wall between the yard and the yard here is not a brick wall, but a fence similar to a fence. Its interior is completely different from the square mansion that has been in and out of several places. It seems to have a circle formed, and the house is built at the center of the circle, and is surrounded by open space.

Qi Xuansu saw many people doing various things in their yards. Some people opened a farmland in the yard, planted wheat, and till a scarecrow; some were growing vegetables and carrying water from the lotus pond not far away; there was a little girl swinging, almost flying; there was also a young long-legged woman playing with a musket shooting target, using a "sun-shooting gun", but she wore a straw hat and the sunglasses of Qi Niang, covering half of her face and unable to see her appearance.

Under the guidance of the girl's crown, Qi Xuansu came to the door of a courtyard. You could see a grape trellis tied in the courtyard, a recliner was placed underneath, and a white-haired old man was lying on it to read a book.

The gate of the courtyard is not closed, but is open, allowing people to enter and exit freely.

The female crown stopped there, Qi Xuansu walked into the yard alone, came not far from the grape trellis, and saluted respectfully: "My younger generation Qi Xuansu has seen Sun Zhenren."

The old man closed the book in his hand, looked at Qi Xuansu with a little scrutiny: "Zhang Yuelu greeted me and said you were her good friend. I hope I can take care of you more carefully. But I asked me to say that the relationship between you two is not only good friends is as simple as it is? I have never seen Zhang Yuelu so concerned about other people's affairs."

Qi Xuansu didn't know how to answer, but he couldn't say that the two were Taoist couples who had met their parents.

Fortunately, the old man didn't want Qi Xuansu to answer, but said to himself: "No matter whether you two are good friends or Taoist couples, they have nothing to do with me, the old man, so I went straight to the point. The upper palace is different from the lower palace, and it is not that strict. Putting aside the waiter priest who has just been recruited recently, and preparing for priests. After all, they are a fourth-rank priest, Taoist priest, who holds certain authority outside, and even stands alone, and lets you be a good and obedient student, so after you arrive at the upper palace, as long as you are not fighting for courage, no one will care about you. Whether you are just living a life or not, it depends on yourself."

While listening, Qi Xuansu took advantage of the opportunity to look at the old man of the "He" generation. His hair and beard were all white, but he was not the immortal spirit of a Taoist sect. Instead, he had some scholarly spirits. However, compared with the majesty of a Confucian sect, this old real person was very easy-going, and belonged to the type that was so deep that it was difficult to give people serious feeling. It was probably like Qi Niang pretending to behave, it would be difficult for people to associate her with the image of an angry young wife who was obedient.

Sun Hewu stood up and led Qi Xuansu to the living room. There were cold air inside, but it was not because of the formation, but used a very ancient ice arc, some like a tripod, some like an incense burner, four legs, square, similar to the principle of the incense burner, except that spices were placed in the incense burner, and ice was placed in the incense burner.

The old man sat in the main seat on the left and signaled Qi Xuansu to sit down and speak.

Qi Xuansu did not hold the earth to sit in the main seat on the right, but sat in the lower position of the old man.

Sun Hewu said: "Since Zhang Yuelu asked me to take care of you, you obviously didn't come here to stay here and wait for three months to leave. Tell me, what do you want to learn? I should be able to give you some advice."

Qi Xuansu hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively: "Can you learn a great method?"

Sun Hewu was stunned for a moment, looked at Qi Xuansu again, and then emphasized, "Young people, not everyone is Xuansheng, nor everyone is Donghuang. If you can't chew too much, you may even choke yourself."

Qi Xuansu felt wronged and hurriedly defended: "Real person, I have never learned the method of great success before."

Sun Hewu was a little surprised: "You are a fourth-rank priest who is less than 30 years old. You are only one step away from the heavenly beings. Even if you can't compare with Zhang Yuelu, Yao Pei and others, you are also the best among the younger generation. Have you never learned the method of great success?"

No wonder Sun Hewu was surprised. Before Xuansheng integrated the Taoist sect, the method of great success was indeed very rare. All schools and sects hid it and refused to show it to others at any time. However, since Xuansheng integrated the Taoist sect, although there were still some restrictions, it was much more relaxed compared to before. Especially for young handsome men, they were almost a must-have method for great success, such as Zhang Yuelu even had two.

Qi Xuansu said: "I am from the lower palace, but after leaving the lower palace, I stayed in the world and didn't have much chance to listen to the teachings of senior teachers."

Sun Hewu thought for a while and nodded, "What you said makes sense, there is no great way to achieve success in the world."

Then the old man asked directly: "Then what great method do you want to learn?"

Qi Xuansu was originally asking a question, but he didn't expect that Sun Hewu would agree so easily and directly. He didn't know what to say for a while. After considering it for a while, he said cautiously: "Zhengren, I am a younger generation with shallow knowledge and really don't know what to learn. I don't know what I think I should learn? Please give me advice."
