Taiping Inn

The fleet finally arrived in the midst of the mighty wind and rain. Even though it was larger than the vastness, the towering Guanhai Tower with bright lights could be seen from afar.

Speaking of this nine-story Guanhai Tower, it can be called the first tower in Qizhou. It stands on the top of Xiantai on the coast of the East China Sea. It is the best place to watch the sea. If the weather is clear, you can see Dengxiantai in the sea by climbing up the tower.

There is a cliff on one side of the Guanhai Tower and a relatively gentle mountain road on the other side. From the land to the Guanhai Tower, you have to climb the mountain from the relatively gentle mountain road. The other mountain road is built on the cliff, which is extremely steep. Only one person can walk along the iron chain close to the cliff. If one accidentally falls down, the ending is to be crushed to pieces. At the end of this mountain road is a natural platform protruding outward from the cliff. There is a large hanging basket on the platform, which is enough for more than ten people to stand in it at the same time. There is also a winch iron lock connected to the hanging basket, which can slowly lower the hanging basket. At the bottom of the cliff is a beach with a pier. At this time, the pier has been rebuilt and expanded to accommodate Qin Su's boat. In addition, a courtyard similar to an inn has been built on the beach. It can be seen that Qingwei Sect has made a lot of preparations and spent a lot of time in the past month.

At this time, the beach is full of disciples of Qingwei Sect, even in the heavy rain. Looking at the expressions of these Qingwei Sect members, there is no intention to welcome the guests, but rather some as if they are facing a great enemy.

There are five people standing in the front, and only these five people are qualified to hold umbrellas, namely: Li Yuanying, Li Yuanyi, Situ Xuanlue, Gu Yusheng, and Lu Yanbing.

Lu Yanbing had just arrived not long ago. It wasn't that she was being disrespectful on purpose. There were too many things going on in the Imperial Capital and she couldn't get away for a while. She wanted to use the excuse of staying in the Imperial Capital and not getting involved in this mess, but she didn't have the courage to tell her master. She could only mention it to her second senior brother in a tactful way. The second senior brother didn't scold her, but he rejected her proposal mercilessly without any room for negotiation. He also said that this was Li Xuandu's intention, and Li Xuandu missed her, the fifth junior sister, very much. Lu Yanbing had no choice but to rush from the Imperial Capital to Qizhou. Naturally, she was not in a good mood, but she had no way to vent, so she could only suppress it in her heart.

Li Yuanying and the others were looking at the sea in the distance. They could already see the huge fleet under the rain. They didn't show any joy or anger on their faces, but Lu Yanbing was too lazy to hide it. She wanted to put all her complaints on her face. It wasn't that Lu Yanbing was not afraid of Li Xuandu, but because Li Xuandu had already been engaged to Qin Su. Her future sister-in-law was her good sister and would definitely speak for her, which made her feel fearless.

At the same time, Lu Yanbing was also complaining in her heart that Li Xuandu was not a good thing. Why did he have to torment her? You guys fight for yours and fight for yours. She sat by and watched the show. Isn't it beautiful? No matter who wins, she will bow. It's that simple. Why did they involve her and force her to choose sides? Who is she, Lu Yanbing, and can she influence the situation in the sect?

Lu Yanbing became more and more angry as she thought about it. She began to plan to find an opportunity to complain to Qin Su. She couldn't do anything to Li Xuandu, so could Qin Su do nothing? But Lu Yanbing herself didn't realize that she had already chosen a side invisibly. Whether it was secretly criticizing Li Xuandu's dishonesty or wanting to complain to Qin Su, it was actually the actions of her own people.

At this moment, Li Yuanying suddenly said: "Junior Sister Lu."

Lu Yanbing was stunned, then came to her senses and asked: "Third Senior Brother, are you calling me?"

"Yes." Li Yuanying said: "If I remember correctly, Junior Sister Lu and Sect Master Qin have been friends for many years?"

Lu Yanbing was stunned again, and then realized that the "Sect Master Qin" in Li Yuanying's mouth was Qin Su. She nodded and said: "That's right, we have known each other since childhood, and there is also Yu Qingning. Senior Brother, you also know that Master's Wife and others had formed a society back then. In addition to Master's Wife and Master's Aunt, There were also the Han Sect Master of Wangqing Sect and the Xiao Sect Master of Xuannv Sect. Later, it was passed down to our generation. Qin Su inherited the position of the Han Sect Master, Yu Qingning inherited the position of the Xiao Sect Master, and I inherited the position of the master's wife. "

Li Yuanying nodded, "Mr. Qingping's visit to our sect this time, his purpose, I believe you already know, since it is a peace negotiation, the key lies in the word "negotiation", if it is deadlocked, then Bingyan will have to come forward. "

The smile on Lu Yanbing's face froze, "You want me to come forward?"

Li Yuanying nodded again.

Lu Yanbing opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't say anything.

A master of Qingwei Sect came on the water and reported: "Report to the Sect Master, other ships have been scattered and moored, only Mr. Qingping's ship is heading here alone. "

Li Yuanying ordered: "Everything will follow the rules later, and there must be no mistakes. "

The followers behind him responded softly.

Not long after, a huge black shadow appeared in everyone's sight. A moment later, a large ship broke through the barriers of heavy wind and rain, and a man stood on the bow, looking down at everyone.

It was Li Xuandu.

Li Yuanying looked up at the man standing on the bow.

The two brothers' eyes met. On the surface, they both looked very calm, but what they thought in their hearts, how complicated, was like drinking water, only they knew it.

After a moment of silence, Li Yuanying raised his hand, and many Qingwei Sect disciples behind him saluted together, saying in unison: "Welcome Mr. Qingping."

After the large ship docked steadily, the planks were lowered, and a group of people slowly got off the ship.

The leader was Li Xuandu, followed by Zhang Haishi, Bai Xiushang, Qin Su, Li Feiyan, Shi Wuyue, Ning Yi, and Ye Chi who was escorting the prisoners.

Li Xuandu and Li Yuanying greet each other, and there was no sign that the two of them were still alive and dead last year. Li Xuandu was stabbed into the chest by Li Yuanying with the "Fatherless Sword". Then Li Xuandu returned Li Yuanying's sword and almost finished. It took Li Yuanying's life.

Li Xuandu raised his eyes to the many Qingwei Sect disciples behind Li Yuanying, and chuckled, "It's all my family, and I don't recognize me, so why bother to be polite?"

Nympho

Penglai Island, Eight Scenery Villa, True Realm Monastery.

Taoist classics say that the temple of the Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun among the Three Qing Patriarchs is called "Immortal Realm True Realm". The two words "True Realm" are taken from here. The four words on the plaque are written by Li Daoxu. The written.

The design of the monastery is unusual and extremely narrow. After entering the temple door, there is a long passage with heavy veils. At the end of the passage are two hall doors, and behind the two hall doors is the real temple.

There is a plaque hanging directly above the door of the hall, with four large seal characters written on it: "There is no better way to show it." This plaque is exactly the same as the four big words "Zhenjing Temple" on the plaque outside the hall, and it is also written by Li Daoxu.

Master Li can usually enter the outer room of the monastery, but he has to wait until Li Daoxu summons to enter the inner room with the plaque "The Punishment is More Than Show".

Every two feet on both sides of the outer passage, a huge three-legged copper incense burner was placed. The cover was hollowed out according to the Bagua image. There was a blue flame burning in the furnace, causing the hollowing to continuously emit a faint purple smoke from the hollowing outward. , making the place curling smoke, like a fairyland.

In addition, there is a very large copper pot in the middle of the passage of the temple. In the silence, the dripping sound of the large copper pot can be heard clearly.

The so-called drip is the same as a sundial and is used to count time.

Master Li looked at the wood carving slowly floating in the leaking pot. The last woodcarving with the word "Shen" on the copper pot woodcarving had already surfaced. The word "Shen" could be seen through the water surface, which means that it was Shen time.

Just then, Master Li heard Li Daoxu's voice coming from inside, "Come in."

"Yes." Master Li responded, gently pushed open the hall door of the inner room, walked into it, and then closed the hall door.

After entering the temple, you can see the first sight of the altar of the main wall enshrines the throne of the Taishang Taoist ancestor and the Sanqing ancestor. Below the throne is a Yin-Yang Dharma pedestal with a black cushion. Below the throne is a lichen, which is like a painting. The sky is dim and the earth is dark, clouds are surrounded by mist, and thunder is scattered. There is a faint dark figure in it. It is the "sword that is as famous as the "Shen Shi Feixian Map" Immortal Ascension Picture".

Although it is a retreat place, it was not built on the dark underground, with windows open around it. At this time, the windows were opened, and the wind outside floated in with raindrops of water vapor. The old man sitting upright on the throne of the monks was indifferent to this and still closed his eyes.

As a last resort, Master Li had to call out softly: "Senior Brother."

Since Li Feiyan got out of trouble, Li Daoxu asked Li Rushi to change his original name and did not allow him to use the name "Li Rushi". The reason why Li Daoxu changed his name to Li Rushi was to please Li Daoxu. Now Li Daoxu has He naturally obeys everything. However, Master Li also smelled a lot of meaning from it. The reason why Li Daoxu issued such an order was obviously not because of him, otherwise he would not have allowed him to change his name for many years. This is giving Li Feiyan face. In other words, this senior brother still has feelings for his deceased wife, not as ruthless as outsiders say.

Li Daoxu slowly opened his eyes, first looked out the window, then retracted his gaze, and said, "The black clouds were pressing against the city and were about to destroy, and the armor light was open to the sun and golden scales. The sound of horns was everywhere in the autumn colors, and the swallow's fat was condensed. The night purple. Half a roll of red flag is coming to Yishui, the frost is heavy, the cold sound is not rising. I will report you to the golden platform and support the jade dragon to die for you."

After reading this poem, Li Daoxu did not stop as usual, and left some time for Master Li to think about it quietly before speaking, but continued: "Today's rain is the response, the sword from the purple palace It was also in line with the situation, and it responded to the first sentence. The next sentence, "The half-roll of red flag is facing Yishui, the frost is heavy, and the sound of coldness cannot rise", is still in line with the situation. It responds to the situation and the situation, which makes me sigh. Could it be that God will do this?"

Master Li knew that what the senior brother was going to say below was the key, so he waited quietly to listen to the following.

Li Daoxu asked, "What do you think about the peace talks?"

Master Li pondered for a moment, "The general trend is going."

Li Daoxu showed a little unhappiness on his face, "You are not sincere in your words."

Master Li immediately lowered his head.
