Taiping Inn

No one had ever thought that the first of the three immortals who came to Longmen Mansion was Li Daoxu. According to the speculation of the Wanxiang Academy, Li Daoxu, as the biggest beneficiary of this Taoist peace talks, should be the last one to appear. But Li Daoxu did the opposite. Not only was he the first to show up, but he was alone. It was beyond their expectations. It was fine. Li Daoxu also entered the treasure and said he wanted to find one. The book left behind by the volume that year made the two high-priests worry. I wonder if it was Li Daoxu who deliberately told them or had other profound meanings.

Now Li Daoxu has left, and it is impossible to chase them by the two of them alone. The fight in the world requires a number of three or three, that is, the three heavenly beings and humans can barely be on par with an immortal earthly immortal. There are only two of them, and there is still one missing. If they take action rashly, they will be afraid of death.

Just as the two high-priests were confused, another high-priest Wen Ren finally arrived. Ning Qi was forced to say something just now by Li Daoxu. Even though he didn't show his face, he was still angry. Seeing that Wen Ren had delayed this. It took him a long time to arrive, and he didn't care about the seemingly kindness, and asked bluntly: "Wen Dajiu, why did he arrive now?"

Wen Ren's face turned pale, but he didn't come for Ning Qi, but asked, "Have you ever captured the person who broke into Tibet?"

Ning Qi seemed to have heard a joke, "We captured it? It's a blessing that both of us did not die at the hands of others."

Wen Ren finally heard the wrong thing in Ning Qi's tone and asked, "What do you mean?"

Sikong Daoxun saw that the two of them were becoming more and more irritating, so he had to smooth things over and said, "The person who broke into Tibet just now was Li Daoxu, we were not his opponents, of course we couldn't keep him. Wen Dajiu, you What happened?”

Wen Ren's face, which was not very good-looking when he heard Sikong Daoxuan's words, turned dark again, "It was raining all night long. I just received the news that Zhang Jingxiu has entered the city and has already gone to the small real estate of Zhengyi Sect. Many people from the martial arts world in the city gathered around the neighborhood, just waiting for Zhang Jingxiu to summon him."

As soon as this sentence came out, Ning Qi and Sikong Daoxun's faces changed.

At this point, they still didn't understand that Li Daoxu suddenly appeared here because it was not accidental, nor was he acting casually, but had planned it long ago.

The three of them exchanged glances with each other, and Ning Qi sighed, "The people in the Taoist sect do not act according to the norm, but they must turn the defense into offense."

Sikong Daoxun also said, "It seems that we were secretly inviting several seniors to come out of the mountain, and we couldn't hide the Taoist sect's incident, so the Taoist sect's immortals came here in advance, just to catch us off guard."

Wen Ren was the most irritable among the three high-ranking priests, and he became a little angry at this time, "Where did the news leak? Shen Wuyou was arrested. It wasn't it that Zhang Jingxiu made a fortune-telling calculation, right?"

Ning Qi shook his head and said, "It's hard to say that someone always needs to do things. It's not just the three of us who know this. Don't underestimate the people in the Taoist sect. Sometimes, it may not be our people who intentionally leaked the news, but stayed. After a clue is found, he didn't know it. The people in the Taoist sect will follow these clues and then carefully consider it and you will know the general problem. When you check it at this time, you will definitely not find anything."

Wen Ren shook his sleeves hard, "Can you just forget it?" Ning Qi said expressionlessly: "If you don't forget it, what else can you do? At this moment of enemy's current juncture, can you check the entire Wanxiang Academy? People are already panic I'm afraid the school will be in chaos in an instant."

"Okay." Sikong Daoxuan spoke. Although he was a moderate and did not agree to start a war with the Taoist sect, but now that things have come to this, he, as a Confucian sect, cannot stay out of it. "It is useless to talk about these things now. The key is how to deal with Zhang Jingxiu and Li Daoxu. Also, Qin Qing is probably coming too. Butian Sect was born as an assassin in ancient times. If Qin Qing hid in the dark, it would be even more unfavorable to us."

Speaking of this, all three of them were silent. The Taoist sect heard a rumor that the Taoist sect meeting was held before and after the Peony Flower Conference to discuss major events, but it was not determined which day was decided. They originally thought that the Taoist sect must have made great contributions this time, and so many people would not be able to hide their eyes. But suddenly, a large number of people from the Taoist sect had not arrived yet, and the three masters had arrived. Although the Vientiane Academy had a lot of eyes, But where can we find the traces of the immortal immortal? At this time, the Taoist sect was snatched away and was in a hurry. Before the confrontation was over, we had already fallen into a disadvantage.

At this moment, someone said, "Don't be afraid of three."

The three high-ranking priests turned around and looked at one of them, wearing a crane cloak, with a fairy-like and Taoist priest, and they were the Qinghe lay Buddhist.

Few outsiders know about the Qinghe Layen and other hermits. The three Confucian priests are clear about the three Confucian priests, especially among the seven hermits, Qinghe Layen, who walks the most in the world, has beaten many. When they were in contact, they saw Qinghe lay Buddhists appear and greeted Qinghe lay Buddhists one after another.

After the ceremony, Wen Ren was the first to ask, "Dare you ask the layman, where are the other hermits now?"

Mr. Qinghe gently stroked his beard and said, "Don't worry about the wine of Wen Daji. They have arrived. When it's time to show up, they will naturally appear."

After hearing what Qinghe layman said, the three high priests all breathed a sigh of relief. There were six hermits, and other Confucian masters. Before a large number of Taoist masters arrived, they really had to fight less. It’s not that there is no chance of winning.

When the Earth Master attacked the Great Immortal's Mansion, he seemed invincible, but if you really count, there were not even two masters of the Creation Realm in the Great Immortal's Mansion at that time. At first, it was only Zhang Jingchen who relied on the geographical advantages of the Demon Suppression Platform and the formation of the Great Immortal's Mansion to support it. Later, Zhang Jingxiu's external incarnation arrived, and Zhang Jingchen had no fighting power, which was equivalent to one less person. So even if Bai Xiushang was added, it was only two people in the Heaven and Man Creation Realm against the Earth Master alone, which was less than three-three. In the final analysis, the Earth Master's surprise attack on the Great Immortal's Mansion that day was not the work of one person, but the Yin-Yang Sect came out in full force, and took advantage of Zhang Jingxiu's absence from the Great Immortal's Mansion to attack unexpectedly.

Now the Wanxiang Academy is on full alert, and masters from other academies and colleges have also arrived, plus six Confucian hermits, it is not something that any immortal earth immortal can control.

Ning Qi sighed, "It's a pity that the Saint of Heart School passed away. If he were still alive, how could the Taoists be so arrogant? Today's incident is just a repetition of the old incident of King Ning."

Qinghe Layman waved his hand, "The way of heaven changes, and it cannot be reversed by human power. Let's not talk about this matter anymore."

Ning Qi nodded, knowing that what Qinghe Layman said was reasonable. The saints could protect Confucianism for a while and benefit Confucianism for thousands of years, but they could not protect Confucianism all the time. They still had to rely on these saints and disciples.

Sikong Daoxuan told Qinghe Layman about Li Daoxu's search for books. Qinghe Layman had just arrived. He was not in the Wanxiang Academy just now, so naturally he didn't know about Li Daoxu's affairs. After hearing this, his face changed drastically.

Sikong Daoxuan asked, "Layman, is there a big obstacle in this?"

Layman Qinghe calmed down his mind, his face slightly gloomy, "What a Li Daoxu, he is really thoughtful, worthy of being regarded as a great enemy by the King of Qi, and he actually noticed it so many years ago."

The three high priests turned their eyes to Layman Qinghe, waiting for him to tell the whole story, but he didn't want to say anything more, and asked, "Where is Li Daoxu now?"

Ning Qi replied, "Li Daoxu said he wanted to enjoy the Hundred Flowers Festival with us, and then left. Could he really go to the Hundred Flowers Festival?"

Layman Qinghe pondered for a moment, "Everyone, let's go and meet this great swordsman."

...

Dawei is the Central Plains in the eyes of the Golden Tent, Zhongzhou is the Central Plains in the eyes of the Central Plains people, and Longmen Prefecture, as the capital of Zhongzhou, is the center of the world. Therefore, each sect has set up a place to stay here, such as the Small Zhenren Mansion of the Zhengyi Sect, the Qingping Garden of the Taiping Sect, the Yanyu Tower of the Qingwei Sect, the Qingmu Pavilion of the Donghua Sect, etc.

After Zhang Jingxiu entered the city, he was in his own Small Zhenren Mansion.

The Zhengyi Sect’s Great Zhenren Mansion knew about Zhang Jingxiu’s coming this time, but the Small Zhenren Mansion had not received the news. They were very surprised by the sudden arrival of the Great Heavenly Master. Fortunately, the Small Zhenren Mansion had long known that the Taoist sect was going to hold a meeting, and it was only a matter of time before the Great Heavenly Master and the elders of the sect came. They had been prepared and were not particularly panicked.

After Zhang Jingxiu arrived at the Small Zhenren Mansion, he dismissed his left and right, did not see any outsiders, and just sat alone in the quiet room.

It is called a quiet room, but in fact it is not much different from the main hall, with a depth of five meters and a width of nine meters. The emperor’s palace is no more than this. Over the years, the court's laws have been virtually nonexistent. It is not only common for local tyrants to wear clothes that exceed the regulations, but also to build and spend money that exceeds the regulations. After all, the tyrants have the ability to interfere with the succession of the throne, let alone other things.

There was no one else in the quiet room except Zhang Jingxiu. After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Jingxiu opened his eyes, turned a string of beads on his wrist, and whispered, "Since you are here, why don't you show up?"

After the words fell, the quiet room was still audible, and there was no response.

Zhang Jingxiu shook his wrist, and the string of beads scattered by themselves. It turned out that this string of beads was not strung together with a thin thread like ordinary beads or prayer beads, but each bead was attracted together by itself. It looked no different from ordinary beads or prayer beads, but with Zhang Jingxiu's thought, these beads no longer attracted each other, and they scattered by themselves, hanging around Zhang Jingxiu. Then with a wave of Zhang Jingxiu's sleeves, these beads shot to one side like a rain of arrows.

A moment later, an elegant scholar in a green shirt appeared out of thin air in the quiet room, with beads hovering in front of him. Lightning flashed on these beads, as if they wanted to explode but were forcibly suppressed.

The scholar waved his sleeves again, and all the lightning beads were returned.

Zhang Jingxiu remained motionless, and saw these lightning beads like tired birds returning to the forest, re-attached to one place, and turned into a string of flowing beads around his wrist.

The scholar with extraordinary demeanor bowed and smiled, "Ziyanshanren greets the Great Heavenly Master."
