Taiping Inn

Li Xuan didn't expect that Li Daoxue would mention the original story again, and he was stunned.

Li Daoxu did not rush to evaluate this sentence, but said, "I saw this sentence at that time and only had one feeling. The handwriting on this booklet was like flying swords, stabbing at me. I My apprentice drew his sword from me, the master."

This is the first time that Li Daoxu talked about his feelings with Li Xuan. Li Daoxu just gave his attitude at the beginning, and anger was his attitude. At this moment, Li Xuandu deeply felt what it means to be "slight and careless". Both he and he are now Li Xuandu, but the same words have different results. He was silent for a moment and said, "I dare not do this."

"Whether you dare or not, it's all over." Li Daoxu Wu intends to get too entangled in this matter. "This advice has been praised by me repeatedly, saying that I am talented and wise, and then the topic of the matter is to be said to be extremely talented and wise. After a turn, I said that my sharp spirit has not been long, and my delusions have been pulled away, but I used it incorrectly. I used this sentence to elicit dissatisfaction with the Qingwei Sect, saying that none of them speaks right for me. Yu Xun's style, Chen Shan's meaning of keeping evil is unknown, and he is very flattering. These are actually nothing, and they are not your real purpose. What you really want to say is this sentence: 'The Queen Mother Xie , harming the country and the people, and virtue is not worthy of position, the world will criticize it. 'You ask me, 'Why did Master go against the trend? ' Finally, I made a conclusion: 'The public of the world is abandoned because of my own selfishness, and the world has knowledge. A scholar has not been straightforward and a master has been long. '"

Li Xuan hesitated for a moment, did not deny it, nodded and admitted, "That's right."

Li Daoxu asked, "You have never thought that these words are not just me, but no one else would accept them, such as Zhang Jingxiu, Xu Wugui, and your father-in-law Qin Qing."

Li Xuandu said, "I thought about it, but I think they are not as good as Master. Master will understand my intention."

Li Daoxu smiled, "You are not sincere in your words, don't praise me, I don't believe in these things. In fact, you are not wrong. I have indeed abandoned the public in the world because of my own selfishness, but the knowledgeable people in the world are not straightforward for a long time. That may not be possible. These so-called knowledgeable people, if they are not standing on the dry shore, if they are standing in my position, they will make the same choice, or even more so."

Li Xuandu smiled and said, "Master's words reminded me of a joke. The army of gold tents went south and the court raised military funds. The official asked the rich man: 'If you have 10 million taels of silver, would you be willing to donate it to the imperial court?' The rich man replied : 'Yes. 'The official asked again: 'If you have one million stones of grain, would you be willing to donate it to the court? 'The rich man replied: 'Yes. 'The official finally asked: 'The court does not need ten million taels of silver now, too Don't have one million stones of grain, only 500,000 taels of silver, are you willing to give it? 'The rich man replied: 'I don't want it. 'The official was confused and asked the reason, and the rich man replied: 'Because I really have 500,000 taels silver.'"

Li Daoxu smiled and then suddenly looked serious again, and asked, "Zi Mansion, do you still have to stick to what you said today?"

Li Xuan didn't speak rashly, and was silent for a moment.

The reason why he was silent was because he heard Li Daoxu's voice-over, which was also a condition proposed by Li Daoxu. If the Taoist sects are reunified, there is still a problem that will continue to support Xie Zhi's Great Wei court, or will instead support Zhao Zheng in Liaodong. Li Xuandu’s words were opposed to Xie Zhi, so Li Daoxu asked Li Xuandu whether he should stick to his original words. If he persisted, he would support Liaodong. If he didn’t persist, he would support the imperial capital.

Li Daoxu said that only the acquired genius would formally discuss peace talks with Li Xuan. In fact, the dust has been settled. Today, we must explain it thoroughly. This is the old Taoist point of Li Daoxu. He wants to give the conditions to both sides. At the same time, get it in hand for comparison, and then make a decision.

Because of this, Li Daoxu did not urge Li Xuandu, but just walked slowly.

Li Xuan lowered his head and thought, not thinking about how to choose. He had an answer and did not intend to change the answer. He was trying to figure out Li Daoxu's intentions and thinking about how to convince Li Daoxu.

The two of them walked a long way, and had already walked out of the area of ​​the tomb from another direction and headed towards the beach.

Along the way, I would occasionally meet disciples of Tiankui Temple who were patrolling. These disciples were all peripheral disciples. They did not recognize Li Daoxu, who had been in seclusion for many years, nor did they recognize Li Xuandu, who had been not in the sect for many years. Someone immediately shouted loudly. : "Who?"

This shout made Li Xuan come to his senses. The master had something to do and the disciples obeyed him. Although he was no longer a disciple of the Qingwei Sect, he was familiar with the rules in the sect. He could not let Li Daoxu reply and answered immediately. : "It's me, Li Xuandu."

"It turns out to be Mr. Fourth." The shouting voice immediately became very respectful, not only because of Li Xuandu's identity, but also through Li Xuandu's vague guess of the identity of Li Daoxu beside him.

Li Daoxu smiled and said, "These disciples should be considered my disciples. They don't recognize me as their master, and they also want you, the uncle, to come forward."

Li Xuandu said: "The rules of Qingwei Sect have always been good."

"Yes, rules." Li Daoxu sighed, "I have been emphasizing rules all my life and I also want to set rules for this world."

While talking, the two of them had already arrived at the beach and stepped on the beach. Neither of them stepped on the sand, but instead left a string of footprints behind them.

Li Xuandu suddenly said, "Stop the war and eliminate the troops, save the people from water and fire, and relieve the people from the upside down."

Li Daoxu smiled, "Is this your answer?"

Li Xuan didn't say yes or no, but just said, "Shame."

Li Daoxu said: "If you cannot speak but say it, it is called a mistake; if you can speak but don't speak it, it is called a mistake. The Zi Mansion must think about it before answering it."

Li Xuandu said respectfully: "Yes, thank you for your teachings. In addition, I have another question to ask Master for advice."

Li Daoxu said, "But it's okay to ask."

Li Xuandu said: "I am the sect leader of Taiping Sect, and I am also a disciple of my master. I have an unclear relationship with the Great Heavenly Master and the "Tian Dao". Others think I am a middle-aged man and mediate the great earthly immortals. During this period, I don’t know how many people envy my position at this time, thinking that I am glorious, and some people think that I am a lobbyist in ancient times, and they are united and connected. But the sword has double blades, and it can hurt others and yourself. In my position, I am Looking at the scenery, but once there is a conflict between several parties, I will be the first to be affected. It is impossible to stay out of the matter. I have to choose to stand on the side, otherwise I will not be a person inside or outside. So I want to ask my teacher, if you are in my current situation, What would you do in this position?”

Li Daoxu stopped and did not expect that Li Xuan would ask such a question, but this question was very interesting, so he did not refuse, but began to think and put himself in Li Xuandu's position.

Li Xuandu also stopped and waited for Li Daoxu's answer.

After a moment, Li Daoxu replied, "If I were you, I wouldn't have a better way. It's nothing more than adapting to the situation and never make a choice until the last moment."

Li Xuan laughed, "But Master wants me to make a choice now."

Li Daoxu said, "Because I am not in your position now, I have never been a person who puts my heart in mind."

Li Xuandu sighed, "Sure enough, the seat of his seat determines the thoughts in his mind. Master is in the East China Sea, of course he has to look at the East China Sea. My father-in-law is in Liaodong, so he has to look at the Liaodong. Similarly, Master Tianzhe You have to look from Jiangnan. In three different directions, you will see three different worlds."

Li Daoxu stopped talking and looked at the sea with his hands behind his back. The breeze and drizzle do not touch the clothes, and the sea surface cannot be said to be vicious, but it is just gray and covered with a thin layer of rain and mist.

Li Xuan thought about it for a moment and continued, "Heaven's movements are constant, and it will not be for Yao, nor will it perish for Jie. Master should understand the principle of rise and fall. Now, looking at the great Wei energy, it is over, so why should Master hold it The imperial capital will not be released."

Li Daoxu withdrew his gaze and looked at Li Xuandu, "Is this your answer?"

Li Xuan did not deny it and nodded, "This is my answer."

Li Daoxu smiled slightly, as if he had expected it, and said, "Since you have the answer, I will tell you my answer."

Li Xuandu's face turned solemn and said in a deep voice: "Master, please speak."

Li Daoxu said, "My answer is to put aside the temple for the time being, regardless of imperial capital or Liaodong, we will only talk about Taoist sect."

Li Xuan was stunned. He never expected that Li Daoxu would make such an explanation.

Li Xuandu asked, "I want to ask my teacher, how can I only talk about Taoism?"

Li Daoxu said slowly: "The unification of the Taoist sect is not a matter of one day or another. It is not that I, Zhang Jingxiu and Qin Qing who agreed on this matter. The people below are as close as a family, and they are all brothers and sisters. There is no such thing. Unification is a long process. Our generation just leaves a frame, just like a broken mirror reunited, and there are still cracks on the mirror. How to eliminate the cracks is the business of the next generation. I will distinguish the three of us according to the regional location. It is called the Eastern Taoist Gate, the Southern Taoist Gate, and the Northern Taoist Gate. There must be many differences between these three Taoist Gate, especially in terms of attitude towards the secular world. The Northern Taoist Gate and our Eastern Taoist Gate are completely different. It takes time for the carriage to turn, not to mention It is the hearts and attitudes of the people, but the Confucian sect is pressing step by step, and there is not so much time for us to slowly clean up and integrate the hearts of the people. Therefore, I suggest that we put aside these disputes for the time being and only talk about the unification of the Taoist sect. After the Taoist sect truly returns to unification, then Slowly negotiate and change.”

Li Xuan was silent for a moment. He was about to speak, but Li Daoxu stopped him, "You don't have to rush to answer me. You can think about it first, or you can discuss it with others. After you have really considered it, come again. Answer me."
