Taiping Inn

Because of a major event that shook the martial arts world on the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, Mr. Qingping Li Xuandu killed the new Grand Master Zhang Jingchen and supported the Junior Master Zhang Luanshan and Feiyuan Zhenren Yan Feiqing to take the position. The sect leaders who were originally recovering in Miaozhen Sect could no longer sit still. They set off to return regardless of their injuries.

This was also something that could not be helped. Those who could become the leader of a sect knew it well. Zhang Jingchen chose to attack at this time because he saw this opportunity, but he was just one step behind and eventually failed and died. They went back at this time to take charge of the overall situation, so that this chaos would be limited to Zhengyi Sect, and would not continue to expand and eventually become a major change that affected the martial arts world.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Haishi returned to Qingwei Sect, Xiao Shiyu returned to Xuannv Sect, Bai Xiushang returned to Cihang Sect, and Situ Xuanlue returned to Qingwei Sect as early as mid-August because of his minor injuries, so he was not included in this list.

As the situation gradually stabilized, Qin Su's injury gradually improved, and Li Xuandu did not want to stay in Zhengyi Sect any longer, so he decided to leave the Great Immortal Mansion and return to Jianxiu Mountain. At the same time, Li Xuandu also went to Xuannv Sect to visit Xiao Shiyu, who was seriously injured but had come back, and Shi Wuyue, whose injury had almost recovered.

Shi Wuyue wanted to go to Jianxiu Mountain with Li Xuandu, but considering that Xiao Shiyu's injury had not healed, she decided to stay and help Yu Qingning. As for Ning Yi, he has returned to Taiping Sect. Although Li Xuandu is the leader of Taiping Sect, he will not stay in Taiping Sect for a long time. He is afraid that Madam Lu will not be able to manage Taiping Sect alone, so he sent Ning Yi to take charge. Ning Yi usually does not interfere in the affairs of Taiping Sect, and leaves it to Madam Lu to handle. He just builds a hut in Wuyou Valley to practice swordsmanship, but once something needs to be suppressed by force, such as the last time several elders made trouble, Ning Yi will decisively take action.

In the end, only Li Xuandu and Qin Su left Xuannv Sect and returned to Jianxiu Mountain.

Jianxiu Mountain is now more popular. In the past, there was only Xu Qi, who was alone and helpless. Now, there are not only two women, Li Feiyan and Su Lianrong, but also two teenagers, Pei Yu and Zhang Baizhou. Pei Yu is now busy improving his realm and cultivation, and he stays in hiding all day, while Zhang Baizhou follows Li Feiyan and familiarizes himself with the various affairs of the inn. When Li Feiyan, Shi Wuyue and others are old and retire, these teenagers will also be adults and can take over the heavy responsibility.

Zhang Baizhou already knew the existence of the inn at this time, and he was more and more shocked. He was very sure that when he was in the imperial capital, Li Xuandu was still alone, but in just a few years, Li Xuandu actually had so many people under his command, and they were divided into six departments and four levels, each with their own duties. It was really a big plan. However, Zhang Baizhou also had a faint hope that Li Xuandu might really help him get revenge.

In addition to following Li Feiyan to get familiar with the affairs of the inn, Zhang Baizhou would occasionally walk around in the mountains in his spare time in the early morning and evening. Jianxiu Mountain covers a large area, is sparsely populated, and has beautiful scenery that makes people feel relaxed and happy. When Zhang Baizhou walked there, he felt that he could forget all his troubles.

Today, Zhang Baizhou came down from Wangjian Peak, passed through the village, left the valley, walked down the river, and came to Xu Qi's bamboo building. He saw Xu Qi standing outside the building, standing with his hands behind his back, with a long cigarette inserted diagonally on his waist, as if waiting for someone.

Zhang Baizhou hesitated for a moment, but still asked; "Senior, are you waiting for someone?"

Xu Qi nodded and said, "He is your colleague and an old acquaintance of mine. I am here to meet the master."

Zhang Baizhou was quick-witted and asked, "Is your old acquaintance also surnamed Xu?"

"Boy, you really guessed it right." Xu Qi was a little surprised, "My name is Xu Qi, and the person who came today is Xu Da."

Zhang Baizhou was shocked, "Isn't that person the senior's elder brother? The senior is now at least seventy years old, so the senior's elder brother must be eighty years old?"

Xu Qi shook his head and said, "Our ranking is not based on age, but on the number of followers. The old master's time is early or late, and the man who came is not older than me, and is even a few years younger than me. However, he is on the path of human immortals, with vigorous blood and strong physique. He looks much younger than me. If we stand together, some people will believe that we are father and son. "

Zhang Baizhou asked in confusion: "Human immortal path?"

Xu Qi shook his head, without explaining the difference between the human immortal path and the earth immortal path, and just roughly said: "It is a warrior who only cultivates the body but not the qi."

Zhang Baizhou understood now, "I heard from Master that such warriors are rare."

Xu Qi said "hmm", looked at the distance of the mountain road, and stopped talking.

Zhang Baizhou was about to leave, and suddenly heard Xu Qi say: "Here it comes."

Xu Qi hurriedly opened his eyes and saw a tall figure walking slowly up the mountain along the mountain road. Behind him was a woman wearing a black veil hat, and her face could not be seen clearly.

Xu Qi took the initiative to greet him, and Zhang Baizhou followed Xu Qi.

When they got closer, Zhang Baizhou suddenly felt a burning sensation, as if he was standing next to a huge furnace, the heat was overwhelming. He closed his eyes and felt it carefully for a moment, and found that the burning sensation was actually emanating from the tall man.

At this moment, Xu Qi and Xu Da had already greeted each other.

Xu Da laughed and said, "Old Qi, it's still the same."

The short Xu Qi was like a child in front of the tall Xu Da. He had to look up to talk to Xu Da, "It's not the same as before. Jianxiu Mountain is much more lively."

Xu Da said, "It's better to be more lively."

As he spoke, Xu Da's eyes fell on Zhang Baizhou, who was concentrating with his eyes closed.

In an instant, Zhang Baizhou only felt that he could see nothing clearly, and then two red suns rose in the whiteness, dazzling and dazzling.

Zhang Baizhou suddenly stepped back a few steps, opened his eyes suddenly, and saw no red sun, only a pair of double pupils with bright divine light.

Xu Qi patted Zhang Baizhou on the shoulder, "Didn't your master teach you not to feel a pure warrior with your soul?"

Zhang Baizhou shook his head.

Xu Qi explained: "The blood of human immortals is the most restraining of the thoughts of ghost immortals. If you use your soul to feel human immortals, it is like a moth flying into a flame, and you will become blind in an instant. But human immortals don't know illusions, so you have to see with your naked eyes."

"Thank you for your advice, senior." Zhang Baizhou humbly accepted the advice.

"I'm not a human immortal. I'm still a long way from being one." Xu Da said, "Seventh Brother, who is this child?"

Xu Qi replied, "She's the descendant of an old friend of the master."

Xu Da nodded, without asking further.

Xu Qi looked at Shangguan Wan behind Xu Da, "Miss?"

Xu Da said seriously, "The master wants to see her. Is the master back?"

Xu Qi nodded and said, "The master just came back not long ago and is over there in the paddy field. Madam is talking to Madam Li and Miss Su and doesn't want to be disturbed."

"Thank you for your advice, Seventh Brother." Xu Da laughed and said, "I still have to go see the master. When I come back, we can talk about the past slowly."

Xu Qi said, "Of course, I've prepared a pot of good wine."

Xu Da led Shangguan Wan to continue moving forward.

Xu Da had also been to Jianxiu Mountain before, so he was naturally familiar with it and didn't need anyone to lead the way. Even Shangguan Wan had been here several times. Soon, the two passed through the cave behind the waterfall and came to the valley. Instead of entering the village, they made a circle and met Li Xuandu next to a paddy field. At this time, Li Xuandu was holding a seed with both hands and studying it slowly. This was the seed left to him by the geomancer, which was said to double the yield of one acre of crops. Li Xuandu wanted to know if this was true.

Xu Da knelt on one knee on the path between the paddy fields and said in a deep voice: "Xu Da greets the master."

Li Xuandu came back to his senses, gently raised his hand, and lifted Xu Da with a gentle aura, "No need to be polite, this is the person who wants to see me."

Xu Da said respectfully: "Yes."

Shangguan Wan took off the black veil on her head, revealing her true face, and bowed like a woman, "Shangguan Wan greets Mr. Qingping."

Li Xuandu put away the seed in his hand and smiled: "Miss Shangguan is an old acquaintance, so there is no need to be polite. Miss Shangguan, you don't come to the temple for no reason, just tell me your purpose."

Without Li Xuandu's instructions, Xu Da had already taken the initiative to retreat, leaving only Li Xuandu and Shangguan Wan.

Shangguan Wan considered his words for a moment, "Mr. Qingping, I came here because I encountered a huge trouble."

Li Xuandu asked directly, "What trouble?"

Shangguan Wan said softly, "There is an extra person in my mind."

Li Xuandu was startled, "If you are not lying, then can I understand that there are two souls in your upper dantian?"

Shangguan Wan nodded.

Li Xuandu asked, "Who is the other soul? Is it the immortal? Or the unlucky ghost?"

Shangguan Wan took a deep breath and said, "It's not the immortal, nor the unlucky ghost, it's Song Zheng."

Li Xuandu was shocked this time, and said in disbelief, "You said Song Zheng is in your body?"

"Yes." Shangguan Wan's face was full of sadness, "In the battle at the Great Immortal Mansion, Song Zheng's body was destroyed, so he wanted to take over another body and be reborn. In the end, he was a master of the Heavenly Man-Creation Realm, who could quickly restore his cultivation to the Longevity Realm. At that time, his target was me or Wang Tianxiao, but Wang Tianxiao had already anticipated and prepared, and he escaped directly after leaving the Demon Suppression Platform, and Wang Tianxiao's own realm cultivation was even higher. High, especially good at splitting the soul into two, it is difficult for Song Zheng to succeed. So Song Zheng targeted me. He first pretended to deceive me and asked me to help him find a suitable furnace, and then suddenly attacked me when I was not prepared. "Song Zheng doesn't care about anything, and it doesn't matter if he becomes a woman." Li Xuandu frowned, "But I am curious, why didn't Song Zheng succeed? Or why is it Shangguan Wan who is talking to me instead of Song Zheng?" Shangguan Wan smiled bitterly and said, "It was your inner demon who saved me. When Song Zheng took over my body, he somehow touched the inner demon. The two were entangled together, so that Song Zheng had no time to take care of me, so I came to ask for help, but I know that the inner demon can't hold on for too long. "
