Taiping Inn

Among the 32 peaks of Beimang Mountain, Yinyang Sect is located in the deepest part. Therefore, if you want to go to Yinyang Sect, you must first break Zaoge Sect. In other words, Zaoge Sect is a barrier of Yinyang Sect.

Among the nine peaks of Yinyang Sect, there is a peak called Cuiyun Peak. There is a palace here with the same name as the largest palace in Yunjin Mountain, both of which are called Shangqing Palace. It is said that the Taoist once refined elixir here. He built the Taiji Bagua furnace all night, and mobilized the spirituality of heaven, earth, water, fire, thunder, mountain, wind, and marsh with the eight directions of Qian, Kun, Kan, Li, Zhen, Gen, Xun, and Dui. He skillfully used the principle of internal and external cooperation and concentrated on refining for 9981 days. When the furnace was opened, thousands of golden lights shot out and soared into the sky. The Taoist tasted a pill himself, and instantly his face showed purple air. The Taoist used this pill to enlighten the green bull under his seat, and then he rode on the bull's back and went far from Beimang Mountain to Hangu Pass to playfully transform the barbarians into Buddhas.

The geomancer who lost the battle at Jingchan Temple now stood in Shangqing Palace and looked up at the sky.

Madam Leng flew over on a huge white crane, and she landed from the crane's back and came to the side of the geomancer, saying, "Wei Yi."

The word "ghost" and the word "fear" are cognate words. No ghost means fearless, and the word "no" can also be replaced by the word "go", "abandon", and "already", so Xu Wugui's courtesy name is "Wei Yi". However, few people know this courtesy name, and even if someone knows it, they dare not call it. Only Madam Leng has this qualification.

Xu Wugui said: "I am thinking about the future of the world. After Emperor Shizong passed away, Xu Shisong and Qi Ying supported the overall situation. After Emperor Muzong, Zhang Suqing and Qin Xiang supported the overall situation. Among these four people, who else is left in the court? Will it be Sun Songchan and Zhao Zheng?"

Madam Leng said softly: "I am afraid there is no successor."

Xu Wugui chuckled: "That's good, but let others push yourself. After I pass away, you will all enter your twilight years. At that time, who will support the overall situation for the next 20 years?

A man in a black crane cloak stood not far from the two and said: "Does the geomancer really want to hand over the foundation to Li Xuandu? "

The Earth Master did not turn around, but Madam Leng nodded to him.

Looking at the entire Yin-Yang Sect, if the Earth Master is undoubtedly the number one figure, then the Great Heavenly Official Wang Tianxiao is the second most important figure after the Earth Master, and his status is roughly equivalent to Zhang Jingchen of the Zhengyi Sect, Zhang Haishi of the Qingwei Sect, and Shen Yuanzhong of the Taiping Sect.

This person is Wang Tianxiao, who said calmly: "Brother, it was you who set the century-long plan for my Yin-Yang Sect, and then formed an alliance with Song Zheng to seize the world. But since Song Zheng disappeared, the five sects in the northwest have fallen out. Tan Tai Yunkong has a realm of cultivation, but he is short-sighted and has no ambition. This is why the Xijing Incident occurred, which caused us to lose the Daozhong Sect. Now we are being bullied by the righteous people. Although Brother has a plan to deal with it, he still feels unwilling every time he thinks of it. "

The Earth Master was indifferent and said nothing.

Wang Tianxiao continued: "Speaking of Li Xuandu, I heard that Zhang Jingxiu gave Jingchan Sect to Li Xuandu, and his intention to recruit him was obvious. It is said that Tan Taiyun is also trying to pull him. Under such circumstances, I am afraid that Li Daoxu will not be willing to let the disciples he cultivated with his hard work become wedding clothes for others, and he will probably take some actions. Under such circumstances, Li Xuandu will probably try to please both sides, and will not bet easily, let alone risk the possibility of ruining his reputation and completely turning to us. "

Mrs. Leng said softly: "The maid of the palace official had shown goodwill to Li Xuandu several times, but I didn't take it seriously. Now I think that the girl has a high vision and is very good. "

Wang Tianxiao said coldly: "It's a pity that the palace girl has betrayed her master like Li Xuandu and set up her own sect. ”

The geomancer said calmly: "Mingguan, I know what you said, but do we have any better choice? Shangguan Wan is still competent as the leader of a sect, but can she be the geomancer?"

Wang Tianxiao said: "Brother, have you ever heard of changing your ways? Even if Li Xuan is willing to cooperate with us, how can you guarantee that Li Xuan will not do his own thing when we grow old? Aren't you afraid that our life's hard work will go to waste?"

The geomancer finally turned his head and glanced at Wang Tianxiao, but his tone was still unhurried: "You are presumptuous."

Wang Tianxiao was silent for a moment and changed the subject: "Brother, how to deal with Xijing?"

The geomancer said calmly: "Tan Taiyun is just a minor disease, not to worry about. Even if you want to cure it, you must pay attention to timing and degree. It is definitely not something that can be done overnight. "

Wang Tianxiao whispered: "Raising a tiger will bring trouble. ”

The geomancer shook his head and said, “Well, the most important thing at the moment is to deal with the righteous sects and the five sects of Liaodong. It’s meaningless to think about Xijing at this time.”

Wang Tianxiao said slowly, “Old Man Zang is ready. Just wait for the order from senior brother, and we can send them off.”

The geomancer shook his head and said, “It’s not that easy, but it’s not difficult to kill a few good people.”

Wang Tianxiao said, “In this case, I will go to Zaoge Sect in person and act according to the situation. What do you think, senior brother?”

The geomancer pondered for a moment and nodded, “Okay.”

After getting the geomancer’s permission, Wang Tianxiao stepped back a few steps, then turned around and strode away.

Mrs. Leng said worriedly, “After all, with Zhang Jingxiu in person, aren’t you worried that the Ming official will fail?”

The geomancer smiled, “There is no such thing as a sure thing in the world. The key is that things are in the hands of people. Wang Tianxiao has been in the world for so many years and knows the importance.”

Mrs. Leng asked again, “What about me? "

The geomancer said softly: "Follow me to the west."

"West?" Madam Leng was surprised, obviously she had not heard anything beforehand.

The geomancer nodded and said, "Yes, west. I have lost a lot of money over the years, but I didn't expect that I could really use them."

Madam Leng was stunned for a while, then thought for a moment and said, "Is it related to Mr. Shen?"

"You will know when you should know." The geomancer showed his majesty.

"Yes." Madam Leng did not dare to disobey. Although the two were husband and wife, in this world, the husband is the leader of the wife. Naturally, the geomancer took the lead in everything between the two, not to mention that there was a covetous and considerate Mrs. Luo beside Madam Leng.

Xu Wugui slowed down his tone again and said softly: "Madam, do you still remember what I often said when we first met?"

Madam Leng was stunned for a moment and said: "You often say...'Think twice before you act'."

"Yes." Xu Wugui said: "Think twice before you act, what does 'think three times' mean? 'Think three times' means 'think of danger, think of retreat, think of change'. Knowing the danger, you can avoid it, this is 'think of danger'. Hide to a place where the enemy no longer pays attention to you or it is difficult to take care of you, this is 'think of retreat'. After withdrawing, you can watch from the sidelines, and at the same time you can organize your thoughts, reflect on yourself, and re-examine the road under your feet. Is it the wrong way? This is 'think of change'."

Madam Leng said thoughtfully: "We are in a chaotic situation, surrounded by enemies. Instead of clinging to the remnants, it is better to withdraw and let them fight. We just watch from the sidelines and watch Good show, fisherman and yellow bird. "

Xu Wugui smiled and said: "That's it, whether it's Beimang Mountain, Jianghu, or the whole world, they are all dead things, they can't run or walk, so the key is not the gains and losses of a city or a place, but the people. "

Mrs. Leng was still a little hesitant and said: "Isn't this too risky?"

Xu Wugui held her hand and smiled: "If you don't put yourself in danger first, how can you survive from death? We first provoked Tan Taiyun and then Zhang Jingxiu, and the two of them joined hands to deal with us. Li Daoxu and Qin Qing, who were watching the show, also took the opportunity to join in. This is a wall falling and everyone pushes it, but this is exactly what I want. The original situation was a stagnant pool of water. After this battle, the whole situation is really alive, and only when it is alive can it change. "

Mrs. Leng nodded slightly, and I don't know if she really understands what the geomancer is thinking.

Shangqing Palace.

Wang Tianxiao stepped into the hall, and his figure was clearly reflected on the smooth black ground.

At this time, there were three figures standing in the hall, namely the second Ming official Zhong Wu, the third Ming official Wang Zhongfu, and the fifth Ming official Zhuge Zuan.

After Wang Tianxiao stopped, he swept his eyes over the crowd and slowly said: "Among the ten Ming officials, Wei Zhen and Shangguan Wan failed to enter the realm of heaven and man, Zhang Zheng, Jin Shiyan, and Zhao Chunxiao are dead, and Li Shixing has not recovered from his injuries, so there are only four of us left."

Zhong Wu was defeated by Wu Zhen in Jingchan Temple, so he was considered to be a person who redeemed himself at this time. He stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Please ask the Ming official for instructions."

Wang Tianxiao said: "Go to Zaoge Sect."
