Taiping Inn

Li Xuandu left the Long family mansion alone. During the period when he was talking to the palace officials, Qinghui Ji had already cleaned up the mess. Not only did Long Xiaoyun's body be buried, but even the seriously injured Sun Hu disappeared. After a trace, the entire Long Mansion was empty, as if nothing had happened.

Li Xuandu returned to the inn, Hu Liang and Zhou Shuning were both here, safe and sound, which made his heart, which was originally slightly hung up, finally completely let go. Although he knew that the palace officials would not treat them, he was still afraid of the word "if". Later, Li Xuandu roughly explained the matter of Long, but the palace officials' speculation about Jing Zen Buddhism was not that Li Xuan could not believe Hu Liang and Zhou Shuning, but that this matter was of great importance. If one was careless, it would be There is no need to involve the two of them in the major event of destroying the sect and destroying the family.

The three of them cleaned up and did not stop here for more time. They braved the drizzle and left Ping'an County and went to Jiangling Mansion, which was adjacent to Shuiyang Mansion.

Jiangling Prefecture is the capital of Jingzhou, and Jiangling City is the prefecture city. Many powerful yamen including the Jingzhou Sansi Yamen, the Jingzhou Governor's Yamen, and the Jingzhou Municipal Shipping Office are all here, and can be said to be an important town in the southeast. It is also known as the "bridge of the seven states" because it is adjacent to the river in the south, the Han River in the north, the Chongqing and Shu in the west, and the Xiaowu in the south.

In addition, Jingzhou is the territory of Shenxiao Sect, so there are also many other branches of Shenxiao Sect in Jiangling Mansion. Among them, the Fenglei Sect is the most popular, far from being able to compare with Lingxiu Villa, and even better than the Long Family. The Long family’s backer, Genjingchan Temple is far away in Zhongzhou, while the Fenglei Sect’s backer, Shenxiao Sect, is in Jingzhou.

Shenxiao Sect is located on Taihe Mountain in Jingzhou. According to legend, this place is the place where the ancient Xuanwu achieved Taoism and ascends. There is a saying that "it is not worthy of Zhenwu." This place is the holy land of Taoism and the blessed land of cave heaven, with seventy-two peaks and three Sixteen rocks, twenty-four streams, eleven pools, ten pools, twelve caves, eleven springs, ten platforms, and three waterfalls. The main peak of Tianzhu Peak is like a treasure pillar made of gold and jade, and it is known as "one pillar" The reputation of "Supreme is the sky", and the Tianzhu Peak is surrounded by 72 peaks. The peak bent over and paused toward the main peak, forming a spectacular scene of "seventy-two peaks facing the top and twenty-four streams flowing for a long time". Shenxiao Sect has been established here for more than a thousand years and is one of the four major sects of the Taoist sect. In addition to being the sect that has been designated as the "Tianshi Dazhenren" for generations, the relationship between Shenxiao Sect and the courts of all dynasties is relatively recent. , During the Emperor Taizu of this dynasty, the ancestor of the Shenxiao Kaiser was named "Qingxuyuan Miaozhenjun", the contemporary sect leader was named "Tongwei Xianhua Zhenren", and Taihe Mountain was named "Dayue", " The mysterious mountain in the world is known as "the four famous mountains are all bowing, and the five immortal mountains in the world are all celebrating the clan", which shows it.

Compared with the extremely powerful "Original School", as a side branch, Fenglei Sect, is naturally inferior, and even too shabby, but in fact it has a great foundation. As the most powerful tyrant in the world in a mansion, Fenglei Sect does not lack the masters of the innate realm. There are three innate realm masters standing side by side in this generation. In contrast, there is no such thing as Lingxiu Villa, showing a clear trend of being incompatible with the wind and thunder sect. It is obviously no longer comparable to the Fenglei Sect. Even if it is Wancheng Escort Bureau Long, if Long Xiaoyun had never set foot in the Return Realm, it would not be as good as the Fenglei Sect. After all, the Fenglei Sect is among the two innate realm masters, and there are only one-handed masters of Xuanyuan Realm. The inheritance is orderly, far from being mixed with fish and dragons. Comparable to an escort agency.

The reason why Li Xuandu knows this is because they have had a great relationship with the Fenglei Sect.

On the eve of the Emperor's Capital Incident, the Qingwei Sect, Miaozhen Sect, Donghua Sect, and Shenxiao Sect, all four major sects came to the Imperial Capital. The old leader of the Fenglei Sect, who was a branch of the Shenxiao Sect, also followed him. The old man was heroic and unconventional. , with a heroic spirit, he was quite close to Li Xuandu and Hu Liang. The three of them used to drink together. During the Battle of Chengtianmen, Hu Liang fought side by side with the old man, so the two were quite familiar with the situation of the Fenglei Sect.

On the muddy post road, the carriage swayed and moved forward with difficulty. At this time, Hu Liang was still driving, and Li Xuan was half-lying on the door frame of the car, and the two of them were chatting together.

Seeing that Li Xuan always frowned slightly, as if he was worried, Hu Liang deliberately joked: "Old Li, when he saw the beautiful man Gong, he lost his soul? If I want me, the beautiful man Gong is not as good as jade. Qingning, marrying a wife is a virtuous person, or Yu Qingning is more gentle and virtuous, but then again, it is better to be both of them. How can I say something? What is the blessing of the people of Qi? .”

Li Xuandu kicked him without hesitation, "Be careful that your words will be heard by the palace official and cut off your tongue."

Hu Liang couldn't help but shrink his neck. Thinking of the "fame" of the palace official in the world, even though he was very brave and a little angry, he turned around and said, "Old Li, if there is anything, don't always hold it alone. Then, let’s say it out, let’s take it together.”

Li Xuandu let out a breath of turbid air, "This is too big, we can't stand it, it's good that it's rotten in my stomach."

When Hu Liang heard him say this, he knew the importance of it, so he stopped asking, "When he arrived in Jiangling, he was at Brother Song's territory. When he was in the imperial capital, he repeatedly said that he wanted us to go to his Fenglei Sect. Be a guest so that he can finish his friendship with the landlord. Since we have arrived in Jiangling this time, it is difficult for us to live without entering."

Speaking of this, Hu Liang learned from the style of people who like to make friends in the world, clasped his fists and shook his head and said, "Song's hero is so powerful that we have always respected each other, but we are just a little bit of a deal, so we should visit one or two. ”

When the little girl saw this scene, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Hu Liang didn't reply, "Girl, learn a little. In the future, when you walk alone in the world, you must learn to say some scenes. There are some people in the world who don't have much ability, and the four words "names do not match reality" are said. It's them, but they have a lot of skills in seeking fame and reputation. They like to flatter each other the most. If you don't flatter them, you will wipe out their face and they will hold a grudge against you, unless you can be like Lao Li back then. , one person and one sword will flatten them, otherwise your path in the world will become narrower and narrower, and you will eventually be unable to move forward."

Li Xuan shook his head helplessly and said, "Shuning is still young, why do you tell her about these things? Besides, in the future, Shuning must be a disciple of the Xuannv Sect, and there are many positions of the Xuannv Sect above. Senior sister, who will make things difficult for her in this regard?”

Hu Liang sighed, "If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer a loss in front of you."

Li Xuan didn't even say anything, and was touched by Hu Liang's words, and his thoughts gradually drifted away. He remembered another world. There were not so many swords and swords in that world, there were not so many conspiracies and plots, and there were not even the Twelve Sects of Righteous Ways and The ten evil paths of the evil paths are not Qingluan Guards or the temples. At most, bandits and bandits block the road and robbers. After being easily defeated by the young man in white, they knelt down and begged for mercy. Then the young man waved his hand and scattered like birds and beasts. Or in a county town, a sacrificial priest teased a good girl in the street. The young hero stepped forward to teach her a lesson, and then floated away as the girl was lying on her eyes. Or you may encounter a vicious slave servant who bullies the lonely and weak, but you don’t care if you are from the government office. After you knock it over, you will leave a few pieces of silver and whip it away after you jump to the ground.

This is the world before Li Xuandu was fifteen years old.

The water in that river and lake is very clear.

The water in this world is very turbid now.

But later, as Li Xuandu experienced more things, he found that the so-called heroic and righteousness might not necessarily lead to good results. For example, he saved those weak and lonely people, but after he left, those evil slaves and servants would become more severe. Even the money he left behind would fall into the hands of those bullies. He also saved Chen Guhong and the palace official, but it turned out to be a disaster for He and Long.

So over the years, he has rarely taken the initiative to attack, and most of them are watching coldly and will not take action easily.

He often wondered what was wrong with this world. Now he suddenly understood that the world has always been like this, and it was only him who changed. If you want to change this world, you cannot treat the headache and the pain of the head and feet. If you see injustice, you will roar. There are thousands of unfair things in the world. No matter how great the powers Li Xuan has, how many unfair things can heal? He is covered in iron, how many nails can he make?

Zhang Suqing told him back then that there was a difference between family and country in the world, and chivalrousness was different from big or small. At that time, he did not understand the meaning.

Now he understood.

If you want to change the world, you must start from the fundamentals. You must first change the temple above the world, and then make the world peaceful through the temple. Only in a peaceful and prosperous era can people be worried and free of worries. The world is rising, and by that time, the water in the rivers and lakes will naturally be clear.

This is what Zhang Suqing wanted to do but failed to do.

The old man believes in one sentence: do it even though he knows it cannot be done.

He also taught Li Xuandu a truth: It is impossible not to ask about things, but whether it is appropriate or not.
