Taiping Inn

As time goes by, after Li Xuandu sent letters to the three immortals of the immortals, he left Taiping Mountain and set off for Longmen Mansion in Zhongzhou.

Along the way, Li Xuan walked slowly. He went too early and had no meaning. It was like playing a stage. He was not a role, and it was not time for him to appear.

Mrs. Lu gave Li Xuandu a special carriage. Unlike the common two-wheeled carriage, this carriage has four-wheeled carriage and has a larger space in the carriage. Although it is not as magical as the Mechanical Bird, it has excellent shock absorption function. No matter how rugged the mountain road is, you can't feel the bumps. Li Xuan did not reject Mrs. Lu's kindness. It is said that it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Li Xuan is the same. Now he has a high status and has a high status. He doesn't want to walk on a boat or a car when he goes out. Flying, even riding horses is less.

Li Xuan was light and simple during this trip. Apart from him and Qin Su, there was only one driver in charge of driving. It was also accurate that the Confucian Sect was forced to come to the door by three immortal immortals. He couldn't take care of himself and could not have enough energy. Go and take care of others.

It can be said that from now on, the offensive and defensive momentum between the two sides has changed and the situation has reversed.

The journey is long, and Li Xuandu spends most of the time closing his eyes and concentrating his mind and improving his own cultivation. This is inherited from Li Daoxu. Many times, although it depends on opportunities and luck, when there is no chance, you still have to rely on the perseverance of water and stones to wear. Li Xuandu's high qualifications are high, but it is not unique. At least Qin Su is not inferior to him at all. Just talking about perseverance, Qin Su is absolutely inferior.

In the carriage, Li Xuandu meditated and adjusted his breath for half an hour, and began to try to imitate the running trajectory of the "Taiping Qingling Jing" with the "Taiyin Thirteen Swords". Li Xuandu tried to condense a false inner demon to replace the already The true inner demon taken away can exert all the power of the "Thirteen Swords of Taiyin".

However, Li Xuan has not yet practiced the "Taiping Qingling Jing" to the highest level and has made progress slowly. It is also because Li Xuandu’s “Thirteen Swords of Taiyin” are different from Qin Su’s “Taishang Forgetful Love Sutra”. All its strengths and all its shortcomings lies in the inner demon. After the inner demon is gone, Li Xuandu’s “Thirteen Swords of Taiyin” The sword is equivalent to being deposed. Qin Su wants to use the "Taiping Qingling Sutra" to imitate the "Taishang Forgetful Love Sutra", as long as he integrates the "Taishang Forgetful Love Sutra" he has practiced into the "Taiping Qingling Sutra". It’s like making a sword. Qin Su’s situation is that he already has a mold, so he can just pour the iron into it. Li Xuandu’s situation is that he has a sword with molten iron based on memory without a mold, and it must be done. There are a lot of trial and error and continuous improvement, and the difference cannot be calculated.

At this time, Li Xuan began to reshape the inner demon again. It was actually not suitable to say that it was the inner demon, because Li Xuan didn't want to create another hidden danger out of thin air. The inner demon is uncontrollable. Even if it can be controlled, there is a risk of backlash. , like a wild beast that cannot be tamed. The inner demon that Li Xuandu wanted to create was completely like an arm instructor, or it was part of Li Xuandu, so Li Xuandu borrowed the method of the external incarnation of the Great Heavenly Master. Although this is the unique skill of the alchemist, it is in it. The principles are the same. In this case, Li Xuan believed that this completely different inner demon should no longer be called "heart demon", but should be called "Nin Xiang" or "Zuin Spirit". To be appropriate.

More than half an hour later, Li Xuandu's attempt ended in failure again. Among the Taoist earthly immortals, refining the emptiness and the Tao is the realm of immortality, refining the spirit and returning to the emptiness corresponds to the upper three realms, and the realm of heaven and man is considered to be refining. The great success of the gods, so when you reach this realm, the boundary between alchemist and martial artist will become more and more blurred, but blurring does not mean that there is no boundary at all. In the path of refining the gods, pure alchemist or ghost immortals are more proficient and familiar, and reshaping the inner demons. Or shaping the Nascent Soul, Li Xuan doesn’t know much about this, so it’s particularly difficult.

Qin Su, who was holding a storybook, put down the book in his hand and asked, "Has failed again?"

Li Xuandu nodded, "Yes."

Qin Su said: "You can't even succeed in the seclusion quiet room of Taiping Palace. Do you still want to succeed on this road?"

Li Xuan was a little helpless, "It's also idle, it's okay to try it." He looked at the new book open on Qin Su's knees, could vaguely smell the smell of ink, and asked, "What is this?"

Qin Su picked up the book and Li Xuan even glanced at the cover.

"New Jade Roy"?" Li Xuandu glanced at it, "Talented man and beautiful woman?"

Qin Su shook her head, "No, this is the story of a group of young people exploring the world and defeating the Demon Sect. This is also the first book of our Qingping Bookstore. What do you think?"

"It's not bad, did you write it?" Li Xuan was a little worried.

"I was urged by you to practice the 'Taiping Qingling Sutra' all day long, so how could I have this skill?" Qin Su gave him a blank look, "It was me who recruited many book writers to write books for the bookstore, and then based on the sales of the book , give them some money to moisten the pen. The better the book sells, the higher the money to moisten the pen."

Li Xuan said suddenly: "This method is good. You can find a personal choice and let him write my book "The Legend of Taiping Inn". I will give him more pens, just to come out of my private room."

Qin Su thought for a while and said, "There is such a person with a surname Mo, who is the same as you and likes to preach, and he will definitely inherit your essence."

Li Xuandu smiled and said, "Excellent, great."

During this time in Taiping Sect, Qin Su and Madam Lu got along well. One of them managed the money of Taiping Sect and Shen Family, and the other was the eldest daughter of Qin Family. They could be considered the two richest women in the world, and they did a lot of business together. The two changed Qingping Bookstore into a place to recruit writers, and set up several bookshops under it. These bookshops were only responsible for printing. Through the trade system established by Taiping Sect in recent years, they opened bookstores in many prefectures, selling all kinds of storybooks while selling some study items. In short, the two planned to make a name for themselves first, and then discuss other things.

At the same time, Li Xuandu also agreed with the elders of Taiping Sect to start opening Taiping Money House and Taiping Inn in Liaodong. This was only the first step. The second step was that Taiping Sect would support Zhao Zheng's Liaodong Iron Cavalry in terms of financial resources through the Taiping Money House opened in Liaodong. This was also the intention of Li Xuandu to give Zhao Yu a Taiping coin.

It is no wonder that both the Qin family and Zhao Zheng would give Li Xuandu such great courtesy. The trip to the Golden Horde is one aspect, the Qingwei Sect Li family is one aspect, and Li Xuandu's huge influence is another aspect. Today, Li Xuandu can not only mobilize the resources of the Taiping Sect, but also indirectly influence the Qian family, the Su family, the Cihang Sect and even the Zhengyi Sect. Therefore, the engagement between Li Xuandu and Qin Su, although their original intention was not to form an alliance, but the two of them were in love, but in fact it was indeed an alliance, and it indirectly facilitated the peace talks of the Taoist sect. This kind of marriage that satisfies the two parties, relatives and friends, and even most people is indeed a match made in heaven. It is no wonder that Qin Su drew the lottery king when she went to calculate the marriage.

After the two chatted for a while, Qin Su continued to sit by the window and read her storybook. Because the carriage was spacious, Li Xuandu simply lay down on his side, put his head on Qin Su's knees, and began to try to reshape his inner demon again.

This time, Li Xuandu fell asleep unconsciously.

…

There are two completely different climates inside and outside the Great Wall. Because of the white disaster on the grassland, Liaodong outside the Great Wall is also extremely cold. Even in the Grain Rain season, there is still heavy snow outside the Great Wall, as if winter has not yet come out. Therefore, the guests from outside the Great Wall all wear hats made of dog skin. This kind of hat is like a cylinder, very large, with the fur side facing outwards. After wearing it, it can protect the ears and cover the eyebrows.

A team of guests from Liaodong is walking on the post road, because these people are all wearing fur hats and snow-white cloaks. Under the snow-white cloak, a section of the knife handle is exposed, indicating that these guests have unusual identities.

The middle-aged man in the lead seems to be a patient. His face is a little pale and looks a bit sick. He is not strong and often covers his mouth and coughs gently.

When the cavalry rested at a roadside teahouse, a subordinate said to the leader: "Isn't it too hasty?"

The leader, who kept coughing, put down the white handkerchief in his hand, and said after a moment of silence: "No hurry, just right."

The subordinate frowned, thought for a moment and said: "The subordinate still finds it a bit incredible. The 'Demon Blade' Song Zheng has been missing for many years. How could he suddenly appear in the world? Even if he appeared in the world, how could he be promoted to the realm of immortality? It's really a joke."

"Why is it a joke." The leader coughed lightly and said: "Mr. Qingping Li Xuandu, retired in the second year of Tianbao and returned to the world in the sixth year of Tianbao. What realm was he in when he returned to the world? What realm is he in now? Compared to him, Song Zheng, the first person on the Taixuan list, has been dormant for so many years and has only reached the realm of immortality, which is nothing. "

The subordinate thought that this was indeed the truth, so he stopped refutation and said, "If this is true, then this trip to Zhongzhou may still have variables."

The middle-aged man pondered for a moment and said, "This is natural. After all, the Confucian sect has many years of heritage. Even if it has been weak for a long time, it must not be underestimated. Fortunately, it is not just us who are going to Zhongzhou this time, but also disciples from other sects. With so many people united, there is nothing to be afraid of."

After resting for a while, the middle-aged man drank the bowl of inferior tea in front of him. Because he drank it too quickly, he choked and coughed again and again. The subordinate hurriedly stroked the middle-aged man's back, unable to hide the worry on his face, "Your health..."

"It's okay." The middle-aged man waved his hand, "This place is less than 300 miles away from Longmen. When I reach Longmen Mansion, my illness will be cured."

The subordinate did not dare to refute, and could only whisper: "It's still too hasty."

The middle-aged man signaled his subordinate to leave a silver ingot, got up and left the teahouse, climbed on the horse, and the others followed him.

The horse's hooves tumbled and trampled on the cold and hard post road, making a loud noise.

The middle-aged man in the lead breathed in the cold wind coming towards him, feeling as if he had returned to his youth and his youth. This feeling was really great.
