Taiping Inn

At this time, Shen Yuanzhong had to reply, "Reporting to the sect leader, there are naturally rules. Since the founding of Taiping Sect, there have been three volumes and ninety-six articles in accordance with the rules of the predecessors. Later generations have added, deleted and revised them one after another. There are three volumes and one volume in total, and one hundred and thirty-six articles."

Compared with the more than 300 clan rules of the Qing Weizong, the Taiping clan rules are naturally much less, but it is also within the normal scope. Qing Weizong is actually an exception.

Li Xuandu nodded slightly and said, "It's good to have rules. Who is in charge of the precepts within the sect now?"

Among all the sects, those who hold the law must be high-ranking people. Take the Qingwei Sect as an example, it is the Tiangang Hall where Li Yuanying personally takes charge of the law of punishment.

Shen Yuanzhong replied, "Report to the sect leader, it is the old man who takes this responsibility."

"So it's the Great Elder." Li Xuandu nodded, "Senior Sister Lu, let's talk about the previous matter."

"Yes." Mrs. Lu responded, got up from the seat, and said to Shen Yuanzhong: "The Great Elder, I'm just in the Tianji Hall. Junior Brother Wulu has contradicted the sect leader in his words. How dare you ask what crime should he be?"

When Shen Wuxing heard this, he stood up and said with a little aggrieved: "Dad!"

"This is Taiping Palace, there is no 'father', only my disciples of Taiping Sect." Shen Yuanzhong said expressionlessly, "According to the law of our Taiping Sect, those who contradict the sect leader will be punished with reprimand and rods, depending on whether the circumstances are serious or not. The punishment for responsibility, demotion, and expulsion from the sect. The specific result should be determined by the sect leader."

The key to the great elder being able to check and balance the sect leader is to be in charge of the precepts and punishments within the sect. If necessary, the great elder can bring out the rules of the ancestors to suppress the sect leader. The sect leader is indisputable. If the sect leader is weak, he will even be divided into some of the power by the great elder. . Li Xuandu also understood this, so he first made a fuss about Shen Wuxing. If Shen Yuan respectfully protected his son, it would be difficult to stand up for the title of righteousness and would have no way to suppress Li Xuandu. But beyond Li Xuandu's expectations, Shen Yuanzhong did not protect Shen Wuxing and was very decisive, but made Li Xuandu look at him with a high look.

Now Shen Yuanzhong threw the problem of dealing with Shen Wuxing to Li Xuandu again. Li Xuan must establish his authority. If Li Xuandu's punishment is light, it will not play a role in establishing his authority. But if the punishment is heavy, it will be said that it is. A big deal of a small matter will damage your reputation.

Li Xuandu also saw Shen Yuanzhong's intention and said, "I said, it's still a short time for me to take office as the sect leader, and many things are not clear. The elder has to avoid suspicion and is inconvenient to speak. According to you, how should we punish me? ”

Mrs. Lu and Li Xuan were both prosperous and both prosperous and lossy. Without waiting for Xu Feibai and Yu Xian to speak, she took the initiative to say, "At that time, I was also present. In my opinion, it was just a reprimand, and it seemed too It’s light, but if it’s demoted, it’s too heavy. So I’ll be punished twenty times, not light or heavy, what?”

Yu Xian was about to object, but Shen Yuanzhong agreed, "Okay, just follow what his wife said. Come on, take Shen Wuxing down and get punished."

Shen Wuxing's face turned gray, but he had nothing to say. He stood up from the seat and followed the two Taiping Sect disciples who came in outside the Taiping Palace.

For people in the world, they have cultivation and a strong body. It is not a serious punishment to punish twenty people. For some people with strong bodies, it doesn’t even hurt or itchy, so the key to the blame for the blame is not that point. A trivial injury, but a humiliation.

After Shen Wuxing came to the square outside Taiping Palace, he knelt down, his outer robe was taken off and his back was exposed. Then, three disciples who were specializing in execution came to him. Two of them came to him with iron sticks in their hands. Behind him, he was responsible for the execution, while the other was responsible for supervision and reporting. In addition, many disciples watched from afar.

This has already given Shen Yuanzhong a face, and it is also taking into account that there are also women such as Qin Su and Mrs. Lu. If they are merciless, they will not take off their outer robe, but will go directly to the clothes and spank.

However, no one in Taiping Palace went to see the execution outside, and his expressions were different.

Li Xuandu said: "What you practice Taoism is to cultivate immortality, so the highest realm is called immortality. It can be at most a hundred years, whether it is the immortal earthly immortal or the secular mortal, at most, it will last for a hundred years. Throughout history, how many people have broken through the 100-year mark and can stay in the world for a long time? ”

Shen Yuanzhong was stunned and then said, "Report to the sect leader, according to the records of the sect, there is Zu Lu from afar, and there is the ancestor of the Shenxiao School, Qingxuyuan Miaozhenjun, who has been staying in the world for a long time."

Li Xuandu said, "These two are the ancestors of Quanzhen Taoism. Is there no one in Taiping Taoism?"

Shen Yuanzhong remained silent. He vaguely felt that Li Xuandu had something in his words, but he didn't know what Li Xuandu meant.

Li Xuandu said again: "Now there is always a saying in the world that "the next big chess game" is said to be a great battle now, and Earth Master, Great Heavenly Master, Great Sword Immortal, and Holy Lord have made countless moves on the chessboard. . I don’t know who taught it, but when it comes to these immortals, I found an interesting thing. The earth master is assisted by Wang Tianxiao, the great heaven master is assisted by Zhang Jingchen, and the great sword immortal is assisted by Zhang Haishi. The Holy Lord has assisted the King of Heaven, and these four people are all cultivating the realm of heaven and man. Once upon a time, our Taiping Sect was also the deputy leader of the 12 sects of the righteous path, and had the 'Taiping Wuyou' order flag, and more Being enemies with Yin and Yang Sect, there is no disadvantage. By the way, Taiping Sect once defeated Qing Wei Sect in the Wuyou Valley of Taiping Mountain and drove Qing Wei Sect out of Taiping Mountain. At that time, Taiping Sect was the best in the world First-class sect."

This time it was not just Shen Yuanzhong. Everyone noticed what Li Xuandu said, but they had to admit that what Li Xuandu said was reasonable. Sikong Zao even had a look of recalling the past.

Li Xuandu changed his subject, "But what about Taiping Sect now is sandwiched between Qingwei Sect and Zhengyi Sect. Not to mention the three-legged tripod, he is just a young wife who is angry at both ends. As for the Yin-Yang Sect, Mr. Shen, the leader of the predecessor, died. At the hands of the Earth Master, the sect leader Mr. Shen Da was trapped in the hands of the Earth Master. It was a great shame. How could Taiping Sect fall into this situation today? "

Li Xuandu's eyes fell on Shen Yuanzhong and asked, "Great Elder, what do you think?"

Shen Yuanzhong pondered for a moment and replied, "It's because my Taiping Sect has no successor, and my junior disciples are unworthy and I feel ashamed of all the ancestors."

The others also stood up one after another, lowered their heads and said, "I am sorry for the ancestor."

Li Xuanduo lifted up and pressed down, signaling everyone to sit down, saying, "The sky has clouds and clearness, the tide has rise and fall, the moon has fullness and waning, the country has rise and fall, and people have honor and disgrace. A temporary frustration is nothing, the key is to know shame. Then I will be brave, do you agree?”

Everyone said respectfully: "What the sect leader said is extremely true."

Li Xuandu said, "In my opinion, the reason why Taiping Sect fell into this situation today is that in addition to being incompatible with the situation in the sect, there is also a lack of a person in the sect who is similar to Zhang Jingchen, Wang Tianxiao, Ji Tianwang, and Zhang Haishi."

Shen Yuanzhong was silent there. Mrs. Lu had already understood Li Xuandu’s intention. When she looked at Li Xuandu, she had a little more admiration in her eyes and immediately agreed: "What the Sect Master said is extremely true!"

Li Xuandu asked again: "What do you think the elders think?"

Shen Yuanzhai, Shen Yuanzhou, and Sikong Zao all responded, and the remaining Xu Feibai and Yu Xian had to agree.

Li Xuandu continued, "The Great Elder is an old man in the sect, and he is a high-ranking honorable person. If you are in terms of realm cultivation, the Great Elder is the second person who deserves it, so this person must be the Great Elder. If it were someone else, I would also Don't worry. I plan to teach the "Taiping Qingling Sutra" to the Great Elder. The Great Elder will start to retreat from today to strive to break through the realm of heaven and man as soon as possible."

This statement sounded too unexpected at first glance, but it was reasonable. For a moment, everyone in Taiping Palace was stunned. Shen Yuanzhong's face changed and asked, "I dare to ask the sect leader, if I am in custody, I will leave the house in vain. , How should this position as the Great Elder be dealt with? ”

Li Xuan looked at him and asked back, "When I was not in the sect, the great elders made the decisions about many things. Do you still need to ask me this sect leader at this time?"

Shen Yuanzhong finally understood, his face was pale, and after a long time, he said with difficulty: "I will definitely live up to the sect leader's entrustedness, strive to break through the realm of heaven and man's creation as soon as possible, and still serve the sect."

Li Xuan stopped talking and took out a booklet that had been prepared from his sleeve. The booklet flew up on its own and landed lightly in front of Shen Yuanzhong. Of course, this is not the whole article of "Taiping Qingling Sutra", but it was specially compiled by Li Xuandu for Shen Yuan. Practicing this method will of course make some progress. However, at Shen Yuanzhong's age, by the time he broke through the realm, it was almost gone. It's the deadline.

Shen Yuanzhong took the book with both hands and turned around and went to the outsider in a daze. When he reached the threshold, the great master of the Heavenly Realm was tripped by the high threshold. Although Shen Yuanzhong only shook his figure slightly, he showed It has a bit of desolation.

Li Xuandu watched Shen Yuanzhong's figure go away until he couldn't see the rear and said, "Master Yuanzhong is in seclusion, and the Great Elder is not easy to hang in the air. According to qualifications and seniority, Master Yuanzhou should be taken over as the Great Elder. Bit."

Shen Yuanzhou belongs to Mrs. Lu's sect, but Li Xuandu's words are indescribable, and Xu Feibai and Yu Xian are indisputable, not to mention that they are already unable to protect themselves at this time.

Shen Yuanzhou stood up and saluted, "Give me the order of the sect leader."

When he was performing his salute, Shen Yuanzhou looked up at Li Xuandu and Qin Su, who were sitting high. Once upon a time, he had made marriages for these two young people, and they were still juniors at that time. In a blink of an eye, the two of them achieved good things as he had calculated, but they were no longer juniors, but the leader of the sect that truly determined the fate of Taiping Sect. They were also important figures in the world. Thinking of this, Shen Yuanzhou couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

After Shen Yuanzhou retreated, Li Xuandu said, "Elder Xu, Elder Yu."

The two stood up together, "Here."

Xu Feibai looked nervous and quite nervous, but Yu Xian was angry, as if he had a disagreement.

Li Xuandu glanced at the two of them and said, "The two elders are also old people in the sect and have always been steady. I have something to hand over to the two elders. I hope the two elders will not refuse."

Xu Feibai immediately said, "The sect leader gave him the order."

Li Xuan smiled, "I guess the two of you have heard that I have already gotten into marriage with the Master Qin and I will get married soon. Taiping Sect must worry about my marriage. This matter was originally under the responsibility of Senior Sister Lu, but Lu The senior sister has heavy affairs and has no time to clone her, so I want to ask the two elders to put down the errands at hand and take charge of this matter on their behalf. I wonder what the two elders mean?”

Yu Xian's face changed. He was about to speak, but Xu Feibai pulled his sleeves. Then Xu Feibai said, "The marriage of the sect master is related to the face of the sect, and you must not be negligent. Since the sect master handed over this matter to us and the two of us, I You should do your best."

Yu Xian was silent for a moment, and said with a cold face: "It is our responsibility to do our best to do our best in the sect."

Li Xuandu looked at Mrs. Lu again and smiled and said, "Senior Sister Lu, you are a hard-working life. Elder Yu and Elder Xu's errands, and you also need to take care of them. As well as Master Yuanzhai and Uncle Sikong, you must also come from the side. Help Senior Sister Lu.”

The three of them all responded.

After saying that, Li Xuandu got up and walked out of the hall, and Qin Su followed closely behind.

Everyone in the Taiping Sect stood up and saluted at the same time, "Farewell, Sect Master."
