Taiping Inn

When Li Xuandu first founded the Qingping Society, in order to make up the number of people, he also added members from his own inn, making the Qingping Society and Taiping Inn overlap each other, or in other words, the Qingping Society and Taiping Inn are like two circles, one large and one small, and the big circle of the Qingping Society includes the small circle of the Taiping Inn.

Because of the sharing of various information within the inn, people in the inn, except Li Xuandu, began to miss the meeting one after another. Li Xuandu turned a blind eye to this and excluded people from the inn by default when counting the number of people in the Qingping Society.

Among the people attending the meeting today, only three people from the inn attended the meeting, namely "Qingpingle" Li Xuandu, "Jincuodao" Qin Su, "Qingyu'an" Li Rushi, "Zui Taiping" Ning Yi, "Rumengling" Shi Wuyue, "Jianqijin" Li Feiyan, and "Yudiehu" Han Yue were absent from the meeting. Among the non-inn staff, "Linjiangxian" Zhang Haishi was absent as usual, and the rest were all present, so in Li Xuandu's opinion, the number of participants in today's Qingping meeting was relatively complete.

After Li Xuandu asked this question, "Chaitoufeng" Bai Meiniang expressed her desire to talk to Li Xuandu alone, but "Bu Suanzi" Madam Lu did not express anything special.

Li Xuandu was slightly disappointed. It seemed that Madam Lu had not yet discovered anything about Kunlun from Mr. Shen's various notes. He agreed to Bai Meiniang's invitation, but he had to wait until the end.

Next, each member began to report the recent relevant situation.

Among these news, some were big and some were small, from the Imperial Capital in the northwest, to Jinling Prefecture in the south of the Yangtze River, and then to the Imperial Capital, it can be said that it covered half of the world. Some of the news was already known to Li Xuandu, and some of the news was unknown to Li Xuandu. "Buddha Nishang" Su Yun'an mentioned a piece of news that Li Xuandu didn't know. Recently, the internal dynamics of Zhengyi Sect were quite strange. Some members of the Zhang family, led by Zhang Jingchen, were secretly colluding to oppose this Taoist conference.

Li Xuandu immediately thought of Zhang Luanshan, because Zhang Luanshan is now in Jiangnan and is a member of the Zhang family. He must have revealed this news to Su Yun'an.

However, Li Xuandu was not worried, because after the news of the Confucian sect's concession to the Taoist sect spread today, the opposition voices within the Taoist sect would be temporarily suppressed. This is why it is said that the first battle of the Taoist sect is actually a battle to establish prestige, not only to establish prestige externally, but also to establish prestige internally. If the Taoist sect can continue to win, then it can carry the prestige of a great victory to suppress and eliminate all opposition voices. However, if the Taoist sect loses, it will not only face the pressure of external powerful enemies, but also internal opposition voices will erupt. Under internal and external troubles, the Taoist sect is truly in a dangerous situation.

Li Xuandu understood this very well, so the following sword fight in Yuxu was crucial, and he would try every possible way to find out the news about Kunlun in the Western Regions.

There is a sentence in "Zuo Zhuan", called: "The king rises with this, and he will surely perish with this." It says everything about power. To give a simple analogy, Liaodong is now a major concern of the Wei court. If someone proposes the strategy of "pacifying Liaodong in three years" to the court at this time, then he is likely to rise to prominence in a short period of time and hold great power. This is "the king rises with this". But if he fails to pacify Liaodong after three years, he will be criticized by the court, and he will be dismissed from office at the least, or his life will be in danger at the worst, which is "the king will surely perish with this".

Similarly, Li Xuandu once gained power in the Qingwei Sect, and the four gentlemen party headed by him was powerful for a time. The key lies in the relationship between Li Xuandu and Zhang Suqing, which is also "the king rises with this". But Li Xuandu was also firmly tied to Zhang Suqing. When Zhang Suqing was defeated, Li Xuandu also completely lost his power. This is "must be destroyed by this".

Now Li Xuandu can take advantage of the situation and become the fourth person in the Taoist sect after Zhang Jingxiu, Li Daoxu and Qin Qing. The key is not his realm and status, but because he is an important figure in promoting the peace talks of the Taoist sect. It can be said that Li Xuandu's power foundation has been firmly tied to the unification of the Taoist sect. If the Taoist sect prospers, Li Xuandu will prosper, and if the Taoist sect fails, Li Xuandu will fail. If the Taoist sect is divided again, then Li Xuandu's status and power will also plummet, and it will be extremely difficult to return to the imperial capital and rectify the world.

It is related to Li Xuandu's ambitions and aspirations in this life, which are more important than all external things and power, so Li Xuandu must win this Yuxu sword fight.

After listening to all the news patiently, the attendees left one after another, leaving only Bai Mei Niang, who was known as "Chai Tou Feng" in the Qingping Society.

Since Zui Chunfeng's death, Bai Mei Niang has become the leader of Tianle Sect, and Bai Mei Niang has always been pursuing the policy of closing the mountain. Logically speaking, nothing major should happen.

Li Xuandu removed the coverings on the two people, and could clearly see the expressions on their faces. Bai Meiniang felt a little embarrassed and a little awkward, and whispered: "City Lord, I have encountered a difficult problem recently."

Li Xuandu asked directly: "What is it?"

Bai Meiniang said: "Not long ago, someone came to 'Tianle Taoyuan' and asked us for a secret book left by Zui Chunfeng."

Li Xuandu was shocked, but his face did not show it, and asked: "Who is it, what book?"

Bai Meiniang said slowly: "That person should be from the Five Sects of the Northwest, with a very high level of cultivation. He came and went without a trace. I am not sure what realm he is in, but he should be above the realm of heaven and man. If you only look at his appearance, he looks like a four-foot child."

Hearing this, Li Xuandu understood in his heart and said: "It is the Extreme Heavenly King."

"Extreme Heavenly King?" Bai Meiniang was shocked and a little unbelievable.

Li Xuandu said: "If what I expected is, the person who went to see you is the famous King of Heaven on the Taixuan List now. You should still remember the King of Heaven back then. Strictly speaking, King of Heaven back can have such an opportunity. , all of them were controlled by the Supreme Heavenly King. Now he practiced the "Six-Hebei Eight Desolate Body" to rejuvenate his body, and at the same time, he was supplemented by the "Future Star Mahayana Tribulation Sutra" to sweep away the twilight energy. This move can be said to be a steal of the sky and changing the sun, and the fish eyes are mixed with pearls, which makes him He has truly become a child, not an old man with a child's appearance, which is equivalent to a hundred years of extra time in his spare time. If he can successfully advance to the realm of immortality, he will have at least decades of time on earth."

Of course Bai Meiniang remembered that King Xiankong was the life-and-death enemy of her master Pozhenzi, and finally died at the hands of Pozhenzi. However, King Xiankong was actually the support of King Ji Tian. This was the first time she heard about it. , when I heard what I was rejuvenated and immortal, Bai Meiniang felt frightened.

At the same time, Bai Meiniang felt lucky. As the backer of Lezong today is Li Xuandu, and there is no need to say much about the power of Li Xuandu. The victory of Zhang Jingchen and Qinghe Jushi is the best proof, even if it is The King of Heaven, I am afraid that I will not dare to provoke Li Xuandu rashly. Earlier, Bai Meiniang was a little uneasy. After all, Tianle Sect is among the five sects in Liaodong. If you rashly defect to others, it will inevitably make Qin Qing unhappy. When Li Xuan becomes Qin Qing's son-in-law, Bai Meiniang will have no more. The father-in-law will never bother with his son-in-law with such concerns. Now that the Taoist sect is unified, the Tianle Sect is not among the seven stubborn sects, which shows that it is the achievements of Li Xuandu.

Because of this, after the accident, Bai Meiniang's first reaction was to come to find Li Xuandu.

Of course, Li Xuandu understood what Bai Meiniang meant.

There are 22 sects in the twelve sects of the righteous path and the ten evil paths. Li Daoxu owns four sects, including Qingwei Sect, Donghua Sect, Miaozhen Sect, and Shenxiao Sect; Zhang Jingxiu owns six sects, including Zhengyi Sect and Ci. Hang Sect, Vajra Sect, Faxiang Sect, Xuannv Sect, and Zhenyan Sect; Dan Taiyun has two sects, including Wudao Sect and Dao Zong Sect; Xu Wugui has three sects, including Yin-Yang Sect, Zaoge Sect, and Pinnv Sect; Qin Qing owns two sects, including Butian Sect and Wangqing Sect; Xie Zhi owns two sects, including Zhenchuan Sect and Huntian Sect; Li Xuan both owns three sects, including Taiping Sect, Jingchan Sect, and Tianle Sect.

The sects have different strengths, and it is not that the more sects you have in your hands, the stronger the strength. Large sects such as Zhengyi Sect, Qingwei Sect, Wudao Sect, and Butian Sect can be comparable to several declining sects, among which There are sects that are exterminated in name only, but not real. Now the three seats in Li Xuandu's hands are only some of the strength of Taiping Sect. Jingchan Sect has been destroyed and Tianle Sect is also weak. But no matter what, the name of the sect passed down from generation to generation is still very important. Since Li Xuandu wants to help Jingchan re-establish his sect, he must also protect Tianle Sect and ensure his foundation.

Li Xuandu asked, "What book does the Ji Tianwang ask you for?"

Bai Meiniang hesitated for a moment and said, "He said it was the "Eternal Life Sutra", also called "Wanmiao Cai Nu Gong" or "Wanmiao Mercury". He only gave me three days, and now it has passed. Two days.”

Li Xuan immediately understood that it was the book "The Great Joy Zen". After Li Xuandu attacked Zui Chunfeng, he obtained a "Da Huanxi Zen" from the Zhenyan Sect. He had never practiced it and placed it on the "Eighteenth Floor". Later, when Li Xuandu was sorting out what he had learned, he found that the material of this "Da Huanxi Zen" was very mysterious. It could not be wet when it was soaked in water or burned in fire. He was curious and read it a few times, and then he discovered the mystery. This secret book In the crack, there is another secret book, which has many similarities with the "Su Nu Jing", so Li Xuan handed this book to Shi Wuyue for details. Shi Wuyue learned a lot of things, and had learned the "Su Nu Su Jing" of Xuannv Sect, the "Cai Nu Gong" of the Pin Nu Sect, and some of the "Yangsheng Min Nu Sutra" passed down to her by Song Zheng, so she quickly It is concluded that this technique comes from "Cai Nu Gong" and "Eternal Life Sutra".

Now, Li Xuan can roughly guess the origin of this book. It cannot be created by Song Zheng. That was Dan Taiyun's work. Dan Taiyun may not have to practice it herself. Strictly speaking, she also has a successor. One is the palace official whom she regards as half of her daughter, and the other is Huangfu Yuxiu. It is very likely that Dan Taiyun created this technique for these two people. Zui Chunfeng also got it from these two people. .

With the relationship between Ji Tianwang and Dan Taiyun and Huangfu Yuxiu, it is reasonable to know this.

Li Xuandu nodded, "I know what he wants, the "Great Joy Zen" left by Zuichunfeng is in my hands."

In fact, Bai Meiniang also had speculations, but she was not sure. When she heard Li Xuandu say this, she hoped to look at Li Xuandu.

Li Xuandu said, "When you see him again, you can tell me the truth and keep him steady for the time being. Although I can't leave Longmen Mansion for the time being, I will ask someone to come over for me. If he gets more and more aggressive, then let him He will always stay in Tianle Sect, you must be prepared."

Bai Meiniang was shocked when she heard this, and asked a master from Taixuan to stay in Tianle Sect? Is this Mr. Li's power so great?
