Taiping Inn

The heavy rain gradually stopped.

The three of them returned to the inn and Shen Changsheng began to collect the body. He had his own rules. Some people could be put into the coffin and buried well, while others burned them directly into the jar.

As for why this is the case, Li Xuan did not ask in detail, because this matter mostly involves the various fate theory of Taiping Sect. He is not good at this, and in his opinion, destiny is not worth fearing, ancestors are not worthy of law, and people's words It is completely opposite to the way Taiping Sect insisted on estimating the secrets of heaven.

After the rain stopped, Li Xuandu picked an inconspicuous horse from the stable and carried Zhou Shuning onto the horse. He led the horse and walked out of the muddy floor, slowly walked out of the building. Taiping Inn with sword light and sword shadow.

Zhou Shuning, sitting on the horse's back, subconsciously looked back. The inn was still the same inn, but the Taiping flag standing in the middle of the yard fell. She felt like she was in a daze, as if she was dreaming.

On the roof of the inn, Shen Changsheng looked at the big and small leaving the inn, feeling inexplicably melancholy.

Especially when the little girl on the horse was looking back, he even had an impulse to go up and stop them and let her stay in Taiping Inn, but he knew in his heart that Li Xuan would not agree, nor would the shopkeeper and the boss's wife. Will agree.

The boy sat in dismay on the wet black tiles, watching the two of them gradually disappear into his own vision.

Li Xuan, who was walking with his horse, smiled slightly and said to himself: "Young man already knows the taste of sorrow, so you must say that it is cool and autumn."

Zhou Shuning, who was riding on the horse, asked in a low voice, "Where are we going?"

Li Xuandu said: "Now we are in Huainan Prefecture in Luzhou. The place we are going to is Longmen Prefecture in Zhongzhou. So we must first go to Fengyin Prefecture, which is adjacent to Huainan Prefecture, and then transfer from Fengyin Prefecture. Let's go to Yiyang Prefecture in Zhongzhou, and finally go from Yiyang Prefecture to Longmen Prefecture."

Zhou Shuning nodded.

Although she is not old, she comes from a scholarly family and has been reading and literate since she was a child. Under the personal guidance of her father Zhou Tingchao, she also knows a little about geography. Today, the Great Wei court has two capitals and 19 prefectures. In addition to the Imperial Capital and the Western Capital, there are 19 prefectures and administrative departments, with prefectures and counties under the prefectures. Now their Luzhou is one of the nineteen states.

Looking at the entire territory of the Great Wei Dynasty, Luzhou is located slightly southerly in the eastern part of the entire dynasty empire, located in the inland, to the east is Chuzhou by the sea, to the south is Jingzhou in the south, and to the west is Zhongzhou.

Zhongzhou, as the name suggests, is the world. Although this dynasty has not established its capital here, there have been thirteen dynasties in the past dynasties. In addition to emperors, generals and ministers, sages have emerged one after another. Taoism began here and Confucianism originated. Here, the classics flourished here, Buddhism was first passed down here, metaphysics was formed here, and Neo-Confucianism originated here, so Zhongzhou is known as the largest state in the world, and Longmen Mansion is the capital of Zhongzhou.

Don't underestimate this journey. The two states seem to be adjacent, but there are four places between Huainan Prefecture and Longmen Prefecture, and each prefecture has seven to ten counties. In this way, The distance between the two is about 1,200 miles. For Zhou Shuning, who was traveling far away for the first time, it can be said that it is a huge journey.

The long journey was long, and along the way, Li Xuan began to deliberately explain the introduction method of Xuannv Sect to Zhou Shuning.

Zhou Shuning sat on the back of the horse, Li Xuandu led the horse in front, and never looked back, saying, "The so-called Xuannv Sect is one of the twelve sects of righteous paths, neither Buddha nor Taoism. The place where the mountain gate is located is Jadenv Peak, which is said to have been a thousand years ago. A princess from the country who lost her country has realized the truth in her purse. She was unknown and was called the Emperor's daughter. The Emperor's daughter finally attained the Tao and ascended to the sky, and was revered as the Xuannv. The Xuannv has a Sanyin Zhen, which is dedicated to women's cultivation. The sutra is divided into three parts, namely: Shaoyin true scripture, Taiyin true scripture, and Xuanyin true scripture. If you practice the Shaoyin meridian, you can obtain the realm of return, you can obtain the realm of heaven and man, and you can practice the mysterious yin meridian. Obtaining the immortality. After Xuannv's personal maid obtained this magic trick, she practiced at Jade Nv Peak for a hundred years and achieved immortality. She then founded the Xuannv Sect lineage on Jade Nv Peak, respecting Xuannv as the founder of the sect and for herself metropolitan.

Zhou Shuning asked, "What is the realm of Return to the Truth, the realm of Heaven and Human, and the realm of immortality?"

Li Xuandu said, "This is the last three of the nine major realms in the world. Don't worry, you will know it in the future."

Zhou Shuning said oh.

Li Xuandu continued: "In the next thousand years, the Xuannv Sect has successively produced three female sect leaders who have attained the realm of immortality. These three sect leaders have left three on the basis of the Three Yin True Sutra. The true scriptures are the Emperor's Sutra, the Su Nu's Sutra, and the Jade Nu's Sutra. They are collectively called the Xuannv Six Sutras. They are the fundamental method of the Xuannv Sect and cannot be practiced by women. Therefore, the mysterious The female clan is all a woman, and must be a virgin. If a woman is a married woman, there will be no hope of the Xuannv Clan in this life. "

Li Xuan paused for a moment and said, "I am a man, so I naturally cannot practice the Six Classics of Xuannv. But I still know a little about the introduction to the foundation-building method of Xuannv Sect. I will pass on you later. The Xuanshui Gong and the Moon-Watching Heart Art of the Female Sect practice together. Every night, absorb the moonlight, and collect water essence, which will achieve twice the result with half the effort. As the saying goes, Shaoyin enters Laoyin, and Laoyin produces Shaoyang. Shaoyang turns into jade yang, and jade yang returns to jade yin. With your roots and bone qualifications, you can skip the solid state and enter the Qi-rewarding realm for more than a decade than ordinary people. That little bit of aura is a world of difference.”

Zhou Shuning's eyes lit up.

However, Li Xuandu quickly poured cold water on her, "The depth of cultivation and the strength of fighting when fighting are two different things. The genius of practicing martial arts and the genius of fighting are also two different things. Why are some people strong and some weak in the same realm? This is because some people are good at fighting with others, and some are not good at this. A little girl like you who has never had experience fighting with others, even if you step into the realm of controlling qi, encountering those solid realm Qingluan guards who fight with others for years, is also a matter of a knife."

The little girl riding on the horse suddenly frowned again.

Li Xuandu turned his head and looked at her, "Revenge is never a one-time thing, so there is a saying that 'a gentleman's revenge is never too late'. Don't think about becoming a fat man in one bite, everything should be done slowly."

The little girl cheered up and hummed heavily.

Then, Li Xuandu taught Zhou Shuning two formulas, and first asked her to recite them repeatedly until she could recite them word for word. Fortunately, the girl had excellent talent and bones, and she could recite them stumblingly after just listening to them twice. After three times, she memorized them by heart.

Then Li Xuandu began to explain word by word, what is the lower Dantian, what is the middle Dantian, what is the sea of ​​qi, what is the snow mountain, what is the twenty-four spine segments, what is the twelve meridians, and what is the eight extraordinary meridians. Zhou Shuning took note of them carefully and asked a few questions, all of which were directly to the point, which made Li Xuandu, who was a new teacher, feel good.

If it was that kind of hard-to-carve rotten wood, Li Xuandu believed that he did not have the patience to turn rotten into magic. Thinking of this, he thought of the young man named Shen Changsheng. Judging from his qualifications, he was just ordinary, but at a young age, he had already touched the threshold of the Baodan realm, which was probably due to the hand of the shopkeeper.
