Taiping Inn

Zhang Jingxiu said: "As the saying goes, trust people when you employ them, and don't employ people when you doubt them. I will certainly trust Zifu, but I can't guarantee that others will be suspicious of Zifu."

Li Xuandu looked down at the blood stain on his palm: "This is what I'm worried about."

Zhang Jingxiu sighed: "Don't worry, Zifu, as long as I am alive, I will never allow others to slander Zifu at will, and I will not allow anyone to make a fuss about this matter."

Li Xuandu closed his five fingers, held the blood stain in his palm, and said: "Thank you for your understanding, Master."

Zhang Jing Xiu glanced at Li Xuandu's face again, his expression slightly solemn, and said: "Zi Fu, how is your injury?"

Li Xuandu said: "I wanted to achieve success with one sword, so I forced to use the last sword of the 'Thirteen Swords of Taiyin', 'The Heart Demon is Born by Me'. Although I suffered some backlash, there is no sign of the heart demon attack, so it's not bad."

Zhang Jing Xiu said: "The 'Thirteen Swords of Taiyin' are very strange. The reason why I can subdue the heart demon is that I rely on the 'Five Thunders Heavenly Heart Orthodoxy' passed down from generation to generation in the Zhengyi Sect. Since the founding of the Tianshi, this The 'Five Thunders Heavenly Heart Orthodoxy' is only passed on to the disciples of this sect, not to outsiders. This rule cannot be broken by me. As the leader of a sect, Zifu cannot be a disciple of the Zhengyi Sect, so..."

Li Xuandu said: "I understand the rules."

Zhang Jingxiu felt a little guilty and reminded: "Although Zifu has learned the strengths of many schools, he should not be underestimated."

Li Xuandu said seriously: "Of course."

Zhang Jingxiu stroked his beard and pondered, saying; "If my guess is correct, Zifu will be the leader of Taiping Sect. After becoming the master, he should have inherited the Taiping Sect's "Taiping Qingling Sutra", but the Taiping Sect's "Taiping Qingling Sutra" is only a fragment, and it needs to be verified by some fragments of the Qingwei Sect. If Zifu can cultivate the complete "Taiping Qingling Sutra", it is not inferior to the "Five Thunders Tianxin Zhengfa" of the Zhengyi Sect. "

Li Xuandu said: "To be honest, Master Tianshi, I have been studying it for a while, but the progress is quite slow. It will take at least several years to master it. "

Zhang Jingxiu nodded, not surprised. The method of Dacheng is divided into the method of Xuanmen Zhengzong and the method of side door. The disadvantage of the side door method is that there are greater hidden dangers, and the advantage is that the progress is very fast. For example, "Beidou Thirty-Six Swords Jue" and "Taiyin Thirteen Swords", people with slightly inferior qualifications can practice it in more than ten years. If a person with excellent qualifications, it can be mastered in a few months or even a few years. The orthodox Xuanmen method is gradual and progressive. Its advantage is that there are no hidden dangers, but its disadvantage is that it progresses slowly. For example, the "Five Thunders Heavenly Heart Orthodox Method" of the Zhengyi Sect requires at least twenty years of practice to reach the state of minor success.

Compared with the two, the unorthodox methods are easy to master quickly and have very fast results. If the two practice for ten years each, the unorthodox methods will definitely have a big advantage; if they practice for twenty years each, the unorthodox methods will still have a slight advantage; it will take thirty years for the orthodox Xuanmen method to gradually turn the situation around, and the two will be evenly matched; after forty years, the orthodox Xuanmen method will be able to completely gain the upper hand. This is also the reason why Yan Feiqing is inferior to Li Xuandu, because Yan Feiqing has been practicing for a short time. If the two did not encounter various unexpected events, Li Xuandu would be suppressed by Yan Feiqing in twenty years.

If it is the Jiazi year, the side door and the left-handed method can make up for the defects, resolve the backlash, and can keep pace with the method of the Xuanmen orthodox way. At this time, the two methods are considered to have the same goal, so there is no obvious difference between the four masters of the longevity realm.

In terms of the past and the present, the side door and the left-handed method are stronger in the early stage, the two are evenly matched in the middle stage, and the Xuanmen orthodox method is stronger in the late stage. In the end, the two methods are the same, and there is no difference.

The "Taiping Qingling Sutra" inherited from the Taiping Dao is naturally the method of the Xuanmen orthodox way. It cannot be cultivated overnight. Even if Li Xuandu is gifted, it is impossible to violate this principle.

If it is impossible to cultivate the "Taiping Qingling Sutra" in a short period of time, and there is no "Taiyin Thirteen Swords" taught by the earth master Xu Wugui to resolve it, Li Xuandu can only seek a way to crack it from other methods, or a way to suppress it. As long as it can be suppressed for a few years, it can be slowly resolved when Li Xuandu has mastered the "Taiping Qingling Sutra". From this perspective, it doesn't matter whether the Great Heavenly Master passes on the "Five Thunders Heavenly Heart Righteous Law" or not. After all, the "Five Thunders Heavenly Heart Righteous Law" is also a law of the Xuanmen Orthodox Way. Even if it is passed on, Li Xuandu will not be able to practice it in a short time.

Just as the two were talking, a light shout came from the southwest corner. Judging from the voice, it should be Master Wuzhen.

Zhang Jingxiu immediately took Li Xuandu and flashed to the place where the voice came from. He saw that it was a side hall, which should be the place where the monks had morning classes. At this time, this side hall was full, with many monks sitting cross-legged, and even a few of them had dozens of people, but these monks had their heads drooped, their faces were bloodless, and bleeding from all seven orifices. They had died.

Wuzhen put his palms together: "Good, good."

The Great Heavenly Master had no strange expression on his face, and said calmly: "These monks were shaken to death in an instant. There are not many people in the evil way who have such cultivation. It should be the second Ming official Zhong Wu."

At this time, the rest of the people who searched the temple came over one after another. After all, they were all great masters in the heavenly realm. Although the Jingchan Temple occupies a large area, it cannot withstand the great masters in the heavenly realm. The shrinking of the earth into an inch, and then sweeping through the halls with divine thoughts, it is clear whether there are any living people.

Xiao Shiyu said: "Such a large Jingchan Temple, it is actually clean. Not to mention the disciples of the Jingchan Sect, even the servants who have not entered the door, there is not a single one."

Situ Xuanlue said: "I went to the Sutra Pavilion and found that most of the scriptures were still there, but the formation on the top floor had been broken, and many of the scriptures were moved away and disappeared."

Taiwei Zhenren twisted a strand of his long beard and said: "The most likely possibility is that they were taken away by the geomancer, or it is possible that someone took the scriptures away with the temple when the monks of Jingchan Sect were in danger."

Wanshou Zhenren sighed: "The latter result is best. If it is the former, wouldn't the thousand-year foundation of Jingchan Sect be destroyed in an instant?"

Everyone felt sad when they heard this. As the saying goes, the fox mourns when the rabbit dies, and this is probably the case.

Master Fafa said: "You are all the leaders of a sect or the powerful elders in the sect, so I will speak frankly. There should be similar secret places in each sect to store important things. Jingchan Sect has been established for a thousand years, so it is expected to be the same. Now that Jingchan Temple has become an empty temple, it is a foregone conclusion. It is useless to search for it again. It is better to find that secret place, maybe there will be a turnaround."

Master Fafa's words are not to take the foundation of Jingchan Sect for himself. After all, people from all the sects of the righteous way are here, and the spoils are not divided in this way. On the contrary, this is truly for the sake of Jingchan Sect. As long as the inheritance of Jingchan Sect is still there, there is hope for reconstruction, just like the reconstruction of Zaoge Sect after its destruction. As for who will support Jingchan Sect, this is the focus of the competition among the sects.

Everyone looked at the Great Heavenly Master. After all, the Great Heavenly Master is the person with the highest status, and he has to make the decision on this matter.

Zhang Jingxiu pondered for a moment and said, "Master Fafa is right. Please work harder."

Everyone responded and dispersed.

Li Xuandu also wanted to find the secret realm, but was stopped by Zhang Jingxiu.

Zhang Jingxiu said, "Finding the secret realm is not as easy as searching it roughly before. It will take a lot of time. Zifu will enter the meditation here to stabilize the injuries. I will protect you."

Li Xuandu was startled, but did not refuse. He bowed solemnly and said, "Thank you, Master."

After that, he sat down cross-legged and began to enter the meditation.

Zhang Jingxiu was not a simple guardian. After Li Xuandu began to enter the meditation, he also silently operated the "Five Thunders Heavenly Heart Orthodoxy" and pressed a palm on Li Xuandu's head.

I saw a stream of purple air pouring into Li Xuandu's body from top to bottom.

The purple air was vast and lingering all over Li Xuandu's body. Then I saw a wisp of black air floating out of the acupoints in Li Xuandu's body, as if a ghost encountered the scorching sun and dissipated.

Zhang Jingxiu had studied the "Thirteen Swords of Taiyin" of Yin Yang Sect during his retreat. Although he was not as good as Xu Wugui, he also knew the power of the "Thirteen Swords of Taiyin", especially the last sword "The Heart Demon is Born by Me", which was even more difficult to guard against. When it broke out, it was like a spring night rain, moistening things silently. So at this time, he used his own strong cultivation to help Li Xuandu suppress the backlash of the "Thirteen Swords of Taiyin" and delay the outbreak of the heart demon. The strength of the heart demon is closely related to the host. The higher the host's realm, the stronger the heart demon. This is why Zhang Jingxiu and Xu Wugui did not dare to violate the oath of the heart demon, but Li Xuandu was far inferior to Zhang Jingxiu, so his heart demon could be temporarily suppressed by Zhang Jingxiu.
