Taiping Inn

Under the leadership of Shaman Kazuya Yachi, Li Xuandu and Yue left through the outer hall and came to Lao Khan's study. When he arrived here, Ye Chi and Yue left at the end, and the Shaman led Li Xuandu into Lao Khan. in the study room.

This is the first time Li Xuandu has seen a great knight in the golden tent.

This is an old man with a moderate figure. Even after he grows old and short, he still doesn't look thin. It can be imagined that the old man must be tall when he is in his prime. The old man lay on the recliner, never shaved his hair on his head, nor did he braid his hair on both sides into two buns, nor did he tie his hair down like the people in the Central Plains who wore a crown and tied his hair, so he just dripped it off at will. The eyes under the two snow-white sword eyebrows were already turbid, but they were still sharp, like a hawk.

Although there is a rule that you cannot look directly at the emperor in the Central Plains, Li Xuan did not intend to abide by this rule in the golden tent. He deliberately looked at the old man's face and the back of his hands exposed, and found that there were no common brown patches that the old man had, which shows that it can be seen that , the conditioning of the national teacher has achieved outstanding results. The Taoist sect often says "crown hair and childish face", which means snow-white hair like feathers and round and crystal face like a child, which is a long-lived appearance. This is true for many elderly people with advanced cultivation, such as Li Daoxu, Zhang Jingxiu and others. When ordinary people get old, their skin is loose, wrinkles are growing, and age spots are even more common, which is a huge difference. Although the old man sitting in front of Li Xuandu now cannot be called a "childish face", he is much better than other elderly people of the same age, and he cannot be associated with the legendary dying person.

This is the only living emperor on earth. In the eyes of many ordinary herders, this is an existence that looks like a human and a god, and is the messenger sent by Changshengtian to guard the grassland.

Li Xuan didn't believe in the saying that destiny belonged to. In his opinion, what is a prince and princess? It is not about how much etiquette they know or what clothes they wear. The key is that they are the emperor's children. Therefore, no matter how many people learn from princes or princesses, how good the etiquette and how similar they dress, they are not princes and princesses after all, because they don't have A father who is an emperor. What is an emperor? It is not about the emperor's name, nor about the chair and clothes, but whether there is real power in his hands. It is obvious that Emperor Tianbao cannot be regarded as a veritable emperor, but the old khan of the golden tent is.

When Li Xuandu was observing Lao Han, Lao Han also looked at Li Xuandu, and his sharp eyes became softer, unlike an iron-blooded emperor walking through a sea of ​​corpses and blood, but like a kind old man.

Li Xuandu had a brief contact with Lao Khan's eyes, and was not confused by the illusion in front of him. He raised his hands over his head, then covered his right hand in front of his chest, and bowed to show his respect. This is the bowing ceremony of the Golden Site. In terms of ceremonies, the Golden Site is not attached to the kneeling ceremony of the Central Plains people. Even if they face Lao Khan, they don’t have to kneel down.

Lao Khan received a gift from Li Xuandu, waved his hand to signal Li Xuandu to stand up and said, "Is your name from the Central Plains envoy?"

Li Xuandu replied, "Report to the Khan, my name is Qin Xuance."

Lao Khan nodded: "What kind of news did the messenger bring to me? If it is bad news, there is no need to say it. I am old and it is not easy to maintain a good mood for a day, but a good mood has Helps me extend my life.”

Li Xuandu said: "The Master of the Ministry agreed with the second condition proposed by Lao Khan."

Lao Khan seemed not surprised and said calmly: "A conditional peace talks."

Li Xuandu nodded and said, "Yes."

There was no joy or anger on Lao Han's face and said, "In the words of you Central Plains, this is called a 'stop measure'. Of course, this so-called 'stop measure' is for both sides. Zhao Zhengnian is strong and powerful. He possessed the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, but was trapped in Liaodong. He wanted to stop the war and rest, and took this opportunity to enter the pass and go south. And I am old, and undercurrents are surging in the royal court. I also want to stop the war and arrange my funeral calmly. I will use you To sum up the sentence of the people of the Central Plains, this is, "When you combine, you benefit from both, and if you divide, you hurt both."

Li Xuan could only agree.

Lao Khan seemed not to want to discuss the peace talks too deeply. After saying that, he immediately changed the topic, "If you want to arrange your funeral calmly, in addition to stopping the war, it also takes time, but the Tian Shengtian left me little time. . Even if I am a great khan from the grassland, it is difficult for me to disobey the will of the heaven of immortality. As many people say, the Khan King is just the messenger of immortality. Yes, we are also messengers. You are the messenger of the Central Plains, and I am the one who is immortality. The messenger of heaven, how can the messenger disobey the master's wishes? "

Li Xuandu said, "We in the Central Plains have another saying, "Man conquers nature."

"Man conquers heaven, and moves against heaven." Lao Khan obviously has a deep understanding of the Central Plains. "When time comes, heaven and earth are the same, and heroes are not free. No matter how you are the invincible supreme human beings, and when your energy gradually fades, When my body grows old, I can't help feeling silence when I think of the word "death". I have been believing in the immortal world all my life. Before I die, I want to resist the immortal world once, but I want to resist the will of the immortal world, except In addition to determination, it also requires strength. I heard that there is a kind of shaman-like person in the Central Plains called "Taoist" who can teach people to become immortals and live forever. Is it true? The Central Plains messenger has super powerful force, and I wonder if the messenger has immortality. Technique?”

Li Xuan didn't expect Lao Khan to ask such a sudden question. He was stunned for a moment and then said, "There is indeed a immortal in the long generation, but this realm is too high and difficult for ordinary people to reach. If you say that you are practicing Qi vomiting There is indeed something to strengthen the body and prolong life."

Lao Han raised his eyebrows slightly, "In this way, the messenger has the art of immortality."

Li Xuan hesitated for a moment and said, "I dare not deceive the Khan. I am a disciple of the Taoist sect. The ancestor of my Taoist sect, the three thousand great ways and eight hundred other sects, can all achieve immortality, so the method of immortality is divided into different ways. It is the method of the righteous path of the Xuanmen and the method of the left and right path of the side and left path."

Lao Khan was aroused of interest and asked, "What is the difference between the method of the Xuanmen and the method of the left and right?"

Li Xuandu replied truthfully: "The method of Xuanmen’s righteous path has extremely high requirements for qualifications and roots, and it takes decades of hard practice and progress step by step to achieve the Tao."

Lao Khan frowned, "I haven't had that long for decades. What about the methods of being a side or a side?"

Li Xuandu said: "The method of the side and left-minded is not required, and it is easy to be quickly achieved, but it has great hidden dangers. If you can't get through it, you may be crazy, injured, disabled, or dead. If you can get through it, you will have hope of immortality."

Lao Khan sighed, "Eternal life is not that simple, but it is reasonable. If eternal life is simple and easy to obtain, then will everyone in the world be able to live forever? I remember Emperor Yong of the Great Wei Dynasty, and he believed it. Your Supreme is also the emperor's lord. After practicing Taoism for more than 20 years, he still cannot escape death. How much can I be stronger than him? To put it further, this problem has been thought about by countless emperors throughout the ages. With so many smart people, they have not been able to come up with a solution, how can I solve this problem in just a few years?”

Li Xuandu praised: "The Khan is wise and wise."

Lao Han smiled faintly and said, "When people are old, their bodies are not as strong as young people, and their brains are not as flexible as young people. The only thing that is worse than young people is experience. Many simple and easy-to-get truths are not only understood by the elderly, but also by young people. I understand, but the old man has used his own experience to verify those truths one by one, and his understanding of these truths is deeper. But if young people have no experience, they cannot talk about their own opinions, but they are just superficial. This is experience."

Li Xuandu said, "I don't know how difficult it has not been experienced."

Lao Han smiled and said, "You Central Plains people are always good at condensing very complex words into simple words, which is something that people in the Golden Tent cannot compare to."

Li Xuan didn't answer the conversation.

Lao Khan didn't care and continued, "Does the messenger know why I didn't discuss peace with you?"

Li Xuandu shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Lao Khan looked at him deeply and said, "Because the messenger was dishonest."

Li Xuandu was shocked and looked unconscious, and asked, "I dare to ask Dashan, where am I dishonest?"

Lao Han had no anger on his face, "Since I saw me, why don't you report your real name? Your surname is not Qin. If Qin Dao was an outstanding junior like you, he would have pushed you to the front of the stage long ago. Instead of hiding until now, you won’t be allowed to take risks in the golden account.”
