Taiping Inn

After Li Xuandu accompanied Lan Xuanshuang for a walk in Beimang Mountain, he returned to Jianxiu Mountain. He had to make final preparations for the next trip to Yunjin Mountain. Before leaving, Li Xuandu informed Lan Xuanshuang in advance that if nothing unexpected happened, there would be a monthly meeting of the Qingping Association today.

Lan Xuanshuang was a little curious about what the so-called Qingping Association was all about. But before that, she had to explore Beimang Mountain up and down. Her first choice was Shangqing Palace on Cuiyun Peak. This place was not only the core of the Yin-Yang Sect, but also the Taoist ceremony was held here. The three masters worshipped the Taoist ancestors and the heaven and earth here.

Lan Xuanshuang walked through the main hall of Shangqing Palace and saw the three-story altar. When Li Xuandu accompanied her here just now, he briefly introduced the situation on the day of the ceremony. The appearance of "Xuandu Zifu" happened after Jingtian. As a person in "Xuandu Zifu", Lan Xuanshuang actually guessed what happened. First, it was not Luwu God's original intention to open "Xuandu Zifu", and Luwu God did not have such power, because Luwu God was only the steward of "Xuandu Zifu". There were two masters of "Xuandu Zifu", one was the Emperor of Heaven, Wuyang and Hanba were both subordinates of the Emperor of Heaven, so "Xuandu Zifu" was also known as "The Capital of the Emperor". The other was the Supreme Daozu. Combined with the situation of the Supreme Daozu appearing in the world after the sword fight with Yuxu, the person who opened "Xuandu Zifu" should be the Daozu, and the inducement was the unification of the Dao sect this time. After all, the Dao sect had been divided for many years, and it was time for the division to be united. As the ancestor of the Dao sect, the Supreme Daozu would not be completely indifferent.

As for how the Supreme Daozu showed his holiness, Lan Xuanshuang had some guesses. In theory, after ascending to heaven and passing away, all connections with the human world are severed. However, there is an exception, which is the power of incense and vows. As long as the power of incense and vows is large enough, the Daluo Tianxian can use the connection in the dark to manipulate the power of incense and vows in the human world to show his holiness, but the loss is extremely large and cannot be used easily. Looking at the world, the only one who can have so much incense and vows is the founder of the three religions. This is also the origin of the tacit understanding of the major sects. Except for the inheritance of Buddhism, as long as it is the inheritance of Taoism, no matter whether it is good or evil, the Taoist ancestor is respected, and then the ancestor of their own family.

As the saying goes, if you lose something in the east, you will gain something in the west. Lan Xuanshuang and others have been gone for many years and don’t know much about the situation in the human world. However, they have been in the "Xuandu Zifu" for many years and know these secrets very well. Lan Xuanshuang slowly climbed up the altar and looked up at the sky.

Heaven and earth are not benevolent and treat all things as straw dogs, and saints are not benevolent and treat the people as straw dogs.

In the eyes of the saints of the three religions, all living beings are equal, and there is no distinction between high and low. Just like people look at ants, there is no difference between the ant king and ordinary ants.

So whether an ant with a lifespan of only one month is peaceful or not, what does it mean to a hundred years of human life?

Lan Xuanshuang is not a person who likes to feel sad about the passing of time, but when she traveled with Li Xuandu to Beimang Mountain, she vaguely felt that Mr. Qingping's ambition seemed to be for world peace. Regardless of whether it was true or not, even if it was true, what was the meaning for those who sought immortality? What was the meaning for Li Xuandu, who had already lived forever?

She couldn't figure it out.

If she had the realm of immortality, why would she care about these troubles? Wouldn't it be good to live a carefree life? What worries me if the world is divided or united?

At this moment, Lan Xuanshuang suddenly

felt that the talisman that Li Xuandu gave her began to emit waves of qi ripples.

She took out the talisman, hesitated for a moment, and countless red spider lilies bloomed around her, completely hiding her figure, and then she began to activate the talisman.

In an instant, the picture in front of Lan Xuanshuang's eyes shattered, and countless fragments flew in front of her. Behind the fragments was a bottomless darkness, and then these fragments were rearranged in front of her eyes, forming a new picture.

This is a palace, and it is unknown how high it is. Looking up, you can't see the dome. Below are layers of clouds, and the bottom is also invisible. In the middle of the palace is a seven-story platform. The height of each floor is not much different from ordinary steps. The diameter of the base is about seven feet, and each floor decreases. The highest floor is only the size of a square foot. There are seventeen cushions on three sides of the platform, which are staggered in height. Together with a cushion on the top of the platform, it just corresponds to the number of eighteen floors. And on the last side of the platform is a huge statue of the Supreme Taoist Ancestor.

When Lan Xuanshuang reacted, she found that this palace was still familiar. After a little recollection, she remembered that this was not the Seven Treasures Palace? Could it be that she has returned to the "Xuandu Zifu" again?

At this moment, a figure appeared on the Qibao platform opposite her. He did not deliberately hide his figure. It was Li Xuandu.

At this time, Li Xuandu gave her the feeling of a mirage. She could see it, but she could not touch it. It was floating and did not exist. It seemed to be integrated with the entire Qibao Palace.

Li Xuandu landed on the Qibao platform and then pressed his hand down slightly.

Lan Xuanshuang felt an invisible and gentle force pressing down, so she also sat down.

Li Xuandu took the initiative to explain: "This is where we communicate with our souls. Except for me, all members can choose to hide their faces."

Before he finished speaking, a water mirror immediately appeared in front of Lan Xuanshuang. Lan Xuanshuang found that she was shrouded in a layer of fog at this time, looming, and could only roughly see the outline of the body. At most, she could distinguish the difference between men and women, which was enough to hide her identity.

Li Xuandu continued: "The identities of members in the association are very complicated. There are real power figures from major sects and powerful people in the court. If the wife wants to speed up the re-establishment of the Taoist tradition of Zaoge Sect, she can also ask them for help. But none of these are. It is free and needs to be exchanged. As for whether it is worth it or what needs to be paid, the parties need to negotiate on their own. With the level of a wife, there is no need to use money or materials. You can also do some things or provide them to some people. Some help is exchanged for help from others.”

After hearing this, Lan Xuanshuang immediately affirmed her guess. The members of the Qingping Association were not ordinary people. Li Xuan gathered these people together, and of course it would not be as simple as drinking tea for chatting. Li Xuan had to use the help. The power of these allies, at the same time, acts as a middleman, providing guarantees and guarantees for cooperation among these allies. But there is one thing that is new to her guess, that is, the alliance is a bit loose. Except for Li Xuandu, who has a transcendent status, there is no distinction between high and low levels among other people, not the middle-level organization she imagines.

However, Lan Xuanshuang has an intuition without any reason. Perhaps Qingping will be just "Taixu Illusion Realm", and "Taixu Illusion Realm" is just a

The obstruction is behind the "Taixu Illusion Realm" which is the real "Xuandu Zifu". Now, she is also one of the members of the Qingping Association, and she has only touched the "Taixu Illusion Realm", which is still quite far from Li Xuandu's "Xuandu Purple Mansion".

Lan Xuanshuang asked, "Where are the others?"

Li Xuandu said, "It's not time for the regular meeting yet, I'll just explain it to you in advance."

Lan Xuanshuang was silent for a moment and asked, "What is the main content of this regular meeting?"

Li Xuandu replied truthfully: "Although the Qingping Association is an alliance, the connection between all the allies lies in me, so the content of each regular meeting is led by me, and this regular meeting is also a private matter for me."

Lan Xuanshuang changed her mind and immediately asked, "If I could do my best, can I pay less money?"

Li Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "I can make the decision to exempt all interest, and the lady only needs to repay the principal."

As the leader of Taiping Sect, Li Xuandu could of course let Lan Xuanshuang pay less money. Even if it became a bad debt, Li Xuandu's authority could easily be suppressed. However, Li Xuan didn't want to make such a precedent. , use the money from the public to make profits for himself. Although the attack on Zhengyi Sect this time was not a personal grudge, but involves the situation of the entire Taoist sect, Li Xuan was still unwilling to break the rules, so he just saved Lan Xuanshuang. Interest.

Lan Xuanshuang's father is a businessman. She has been influenced by her since childhood and naturally understands the rules of lending. Interest is necessary. A more ruthless "9 out of 13 return" is also ordinary, which means that she can only get 10% of the money. To 90%, you have to pay 130% back. Now Li Xuan has waived all interest, which is equivalent to borrowing 100% of the money, taking 100% of the money, and repaying 100% of the money, but she can get a Zaoge Sect because of the 32 peaks of Beim Mountain, The Shangqing Palace, the "Ghost Kingdom Cave Heaven", the Changsheng Palace, and the Summer Palace were all given away for free, which was really worth it. So she was very satisfied with the result and immediately expressed her opinion: "I am willing to help the Zifu."

Li Xuandu nodded slightly and said, "Time is almost here."

The next moment, the door opened with a loud bang, and then one by one, saw figures floating around and sitting on different cushions. At the beginning, not only was his face blurred, but his figure and figure were completely blurred. He could only barely see the appearance of a figure, and even could not distinguish between men and women. Later, Li Xuan thought this was not good. At the same time, in order to gradually strengthen the connection between his allies and make the fog faint, he could roughly distinguish men and women from his body to avoid making any jokes about the title.

Lan Xuanshuang quickly glanced for a week and found that not all members participated in the regular meeting. Because Li Xuan had mentioned all members' code names to her when she chose the lyrics and card name. So she could easily calculate whether all the members were all. Arrived.

At the same time, others also noticed the new member Lan Xuanshuang, because everyone's position is fixed. If there is someone in the original unmanned position, then it will naturally be the new Qingping Club member.

Before anyone could ask questions, Li Xuandu had already introduced himself: "This is a new member of our Qingping Association, a female crown."

Lan Xuanshuang also stood up and gave a common fist-clamping ceremony to everyone around her.
