Taiping Inn

Li Xuandu entered Xijing City, and then thought of a person, the "Huanxisha" palace official of Qingping Society. If it is not unexpected, the palace official is now in Xijing City. Tan Taiyun once told Li Xuandu that she treated the palace official as half a daughter, so Li Xuandu guessed that the palace official was either in Taiji Palace or in the East Palace.

However, Li Xuandu was still a little hesitant about whether to meet the palace official, because the two were in two camps and in Xijing City. If the palace official had bad intentions, Li Xuandu would be afraid that it would be difficult to get away.

Thinking of this, Li Xuandu began to wander around the Imperial Capital City. No matter what, he was a great master of the realm of heaven and man. As long as Tan Taiyun was not there and as long as he did not go to the palace city, no one could find him. This huge Xijing City was a good place to go. However, Li Xuandu was not just strolling around. He mainly went to grain stores, cloth stores, and money houses to ask about the prices of grain and cloth, as well as the prices of gold and silver. In addition, he also inquired about the prices of salt and iron. When converted with copper coins, they were much more expensive than in Jiangnan, which shows that there is a shortage of supplies in Xijing today.

Li Xuandu wandered around until dusk, and then he temporarily found an inn to stay in. The price of this inn was comparable to the Taiping Inn opened by Mr. Shen and Mrs. Lu. It cost two taels of silver to stay a night, and they refused to bargain. Li Xuandu had no choice but to accept it and asked for a separate courtyard with two taels of silver.

At night, Li Xuandu began his daily practice as usual. The reason why he could achieve such a realm was partly due to his adventures, but also partly due to his diligence and hard work, especially the various unique skills, from the "Thirty-six Swords of the Big Dipper" to the "Thirteen Swords of the Moon", to the "Heart Volume" and "Sword Volume" of the "Cihang Pudu Sword Canon", the five major mysterious skills, the "Taiping Qingling Sutra", to the self-created unique skills "Twenty-eight Swords of the Southern Dipper", "Heart Demon Transformation into Yuanying", etc., all required great efforts. The "Eternal Life Stone" can make Li Xuandu leap to the realm of heaven and man, but it cannot teach Li Xuandu these unique skills.

About midnight, Li Xuandu slowly opened his eyes and woke up from his meditation. Then not long after, there was a knock on the door.

Li Xuandu's mind moved, and he said, "The year is Jiazi."

A soft female voice sounded outside, "Good luck to the world."

Li Xuandu heard this voice, sighed, and said, "Young lady, please come in."

After the voice fell, the person outside the door pushed the door open and stood in the night. With a faint fragrance, a vague outline could be seen.

Li Xuandu flicked his finger and lit the candlestick on the table, and also set up a soundproof barrier.

Under the slightly dim candlelight, the appearance of the person appeared. She was a girl who looked like a lady from a noble family. She had a hanging bun like an unmarried woman. She wore a jade-colored Luoshan on her upper body, a white silk beaded long skirt, and a white jade and emerald brocade tied around her waist. Her two snow-white and slender wrists were exposed from the cuffs. On her left wrist was a jade bracelet, and on her right wrist was a string of silver bells. In her hand, she also held a small and exquisite "Qiaolang Fan", which could be used to peek at people through the fan. The fan was made of lavender gauze and hung with a butterfly fan pendant.

The girl had a very beautiful face, phoenix eyes, eyebrows like paintings, graceful figure, natural charm, and a bit of youthfulness, not like a vulgar person in the world. After seeing Li Xuandu, she smiled with a small folding fan in her hand, with a lazy and charming posture.

Li Xuandu asked: "Miss Gong, I think my cultivation is not weak. In Xijing City, except for the Saint King, no one is better than me. I wonder how you know I came to Xijing?"

The palace official chuckled and said: "Zifu might as well guess."

Li Xuandu looked at her and suddenly remembered the scene when they met in Ping'an County. He asked for some reason, "Did you wear shoes this time?"

As soon as the words came out, Li Xuandu regretted it a little. It was really presumptuous and abrupt.

Sure enough, the palace official's eyes curved into a pair of crescents, stepped forward a few steps, and smiled: "You can lift the hem of your skirt and take a look for yourself."

Li Xuandu coughed lightly and said nothing.

The palace official raised her skirt slightly, revealing a pair of embroidered shoes without any tips. At the tip of the shoe was a round pompom, which was very cute.

The palace official showed a cunning look on his face and said, "Zi Fu, you looked at a girl's feet, shouldn't you take responsibility?"

Li Xuandu said helplessly, "Miss Gong, you know I'm engaged, so don't make such a joke."

The palace official put down the hem of his skirt, wrapped a strand of hair with his fingers, and smiled, "It's nothing more than sisters calling each other sisters, I don't mind, I just don't know if Sister Qin minds or not."

Li Xuandu remembered that he had died more than once under Qin Su's knife in his dreams, and felt a little cold on his back, "Of course I mind, I'm afraid the first person she wants to kill is me."

The palace official smiled and covered his mouth, "It turns out that Zi Fu is not without this idea, but he doesn't have the courage. I really can't tell that Zi Fu is still a henpecked person."

Li Xuandu did not refute, but just said; "Miss Gong, do you know that when I was in the Golden Horde, the Holy King once asked me in person why I didn't choose you."

The palace official was stunned.

Li Xuandu said, "The Saint King did have the idea of ​​marrying you to me, and the Earth Master also said that he wanted to marry Shangguan Wan to me. To be fair, I am not a banished immortal, nor am I a strange or handsome man. There is no reason for me to marry all the women in the world. It is just because of my position. The reason why I rejected the kindness of the Saint King and the Earth Master is also because of my position. It is said that people with different paths cannot work together, and this is it."

The palace official gradually restrained the smile on his face and said, "The Zi Mansion is so ruthless. This sentence is like a knife stabbing someone's heart."

Li Xuandu smiled faintly and said, "I believe that the heart of the palace girl is not made of tofu, it's nothing."

The palace official resented: "Actually, I am just pretending to be strong. I am a lonely woman. What can I do if I am not strong? In fact, I still envy Sister Qin. I heard that Shangguan Wan once attacked Sister Qin, but unexpectedly Failed. If Sister Qin has today's cultivation, I'm afraid the help of Zi Mansion is indispensable. No, it's Brother Xuan."

Li Xuan had to forcefully break the topic, "Miss Gong hasn't told me how you found me."

The palace official blinked, "Just want to know that Zi Mansion?"

Li Xuandu nodded and said, "Yes."

"Then beg me, okay?"

"If the palace girl really doesn't want to say it, or it's inconvenient to say it, then forget it, I won't force the palace girl."

"Then I'll say that, Brother Xuan."

"Please call me the word "

"What, I can't scream?"

Li Xuan began to remain silent.

The palace official looked at Li Xuandu and after a moment, he finally felt a little discouraged, "Forget it, let me tell you. In fact, it's simple. This Xijing City is full of my eyes and ears. These people have no cultivation, so I can't help but say that. You are the immortal immortal and you can't notice anything abnormal. According to the rules of the Holy Lord, there are daily reports and monthly reports, especially in the grain market. In order to prevent people from stocking up goods, I report every day, and you can inquire during the day The food market, those people don’t know your identity, so they naturally reported the situation to me. I sent someone to check it in each inn and found you, but it really took me a lot of time, so until now I came to see you."

Li Xuandu finally understood how his whereabouts were discovered. He breathed a little relieved and said, "Thank you for your advice."

The palace official crawled along the pole by the snake and asked, "Then how do you repay me?"

Li Xuandu asked back, "What do you want?"

The palace official thought for a while and said, "Let's do this, I won't call you Brother Xuan either. I'll call you Brother Du, okay?"

"Not good." Li Xuan opposed without even thinking about it, "Miss Gong, you and I are innocent, why do you do this?"

The palace official widened his eyes, "It is because of his innocence that he has to do this. If the raw rice is cooked, I don't have to worry about it."

Li Xuan was speechless. After a while, he said, "Really true and false, false, be careful to make false come true."

The palace official smiled slightly, "How do you know that I am not sincere?"

Li Xuandu said, "The famous name of the female sect is outside, so I dare not investigate it in depth."

The twenty-two sects of both good and evil have secret fundamental laws. No matter whether the sect rises and falls, these methods exist. Take Zaoge Sect as an example. Now it is almost destroyed. But once upon a time, Zaoge Sect used its power to fight against the world and build the "Ghost Kingdom Cave Heaven". How powerful is it? It cannot be denied Zaoge because of the decline of Zaoge Sect now. The fundamental exercises of the sect.

The same is true for the female sect. The most excellent secret method is not the way to replenish, but the method of wielding the sword of wisdom to cut off love threads. Simply put, the way to replenish is the pure ruthless way, so the method of cutting love is the ultimate love. To put it simply and clearly, first, a man and a woman fall into the sea of ​​love and hatred, must be true heart. Fall in love, then practice this technique together, and finally cut off the love thread and gain the whole cultivation of your lover. If you can't see it openly and you can't cut off your love, you will suffer backlash, lose all your cultivation and fall into the hands of others. Therefore, the rise of every immortal immortal in the Female Sect means that a great master from the realm of heaven and man has fallen.

According to Li Xuandu's speculation, Ning Yi fell into the love network of the Female Sect back then, but the disciple of the Female Sect was not able to break through the love barrier in the end and refused to attack Ning Yi, but in the end it was All his cultivation was poured back into Ning Yi's body, allowing Ning Yi to change from Confucianism to Taoism, which led to an additional "blood knife" in the world. The woman lost her cultivation and her heart was damaged, so she naturally had a life soon.

This is also the reason why Li Xuandu was very afraid and guarded against her since he met the palace official.

When the palace official heard this, he said in a sneer: "I am already from Wudao Sect."

Li Xuandu smiled and said, "Then I am still from Taiping Sect. How many people regard me as a disciple of Taiping Sect?"

The palace official knew that Li Xuandu had a deep prejudice, and did not defend himself, saying, "It's too late today, so there is so much inconvenience. I'll see you again tomorrow morning. Mr. Qingping, the head of the Taoist sect, don't sneak away. .”

Li Xuandu had this idea, but after being pointed out by the palace official, he could only nod and respond.
