Taiping Inn

Zhang Baizhou wanted to say that he could do it, but suddenly felt unconfidence again.

Then I heard Li Xuandu say, "Time passes by like a flash of time. In fact, it is the perception of people who have experienced people looking back on the past. You are different. Your life has just begun, and you don't understand how long life is. Life is too long, and you will forget many people. Things, many very sad things are no longer sad, and many very happy things are no longer happy."

Zhang Baizhou said, "You are not old."

Li Xuandu said, "But I am already a immortal person, and the difference cannot be explained by words."

Zhang Baizhou was silent.

Li Xuandu said: "There is nothing wrong with being infatuated. People always praise their lovers, just like worshiping heroes, because they are all things that people in the world cannot do."

Zhang Baizhou said with hatred: "Are you exonerating yourself?"

Li Xuandu laughed without being angry when he heard this, "You are right, do you know what happened back then?"

Zhang Baizhou hesitated for a moment, "I know a little."

Li Xuandu said: "Simply put, we reached a desperate situation and made an appointment to die. But at the last moment, my senior brother, Mr. Haishi, arrived and saved me. I asked my senior brother to take your sister away, but your sister She was a strong man, and she refused and wanted to die with her father and brother to show her ambition. So the senior brother helped her, without any force."

Zhang Baizhou was stunned.

Li Xuandu sighed and said, "I didn't see her last time. After hearing the news of her death, I asked my friend Zhang Luanshan to cremate her body. The situation was still tense at that time. The court pursued the remnants of the four ministers everywhere. Even Zhang Xiang and the others died, so I thought about it and decided to bury her on Jianxiu Mountain in case the Qingluan Guard was found. Sometimes I also thought that she was probably disappointed in me Yes, I survived. If it sounds nice, I will stay for the useful body to look for the future. If it is said badly, I will not abide by the oath between us. You are right, it was already in Tianbao In two years, I had already broken my trust, but it had nothing to do with Miss Qin."

Zhang Baizhou did not expect Li Xuandu's calmness. Of course, when a person faces it calmly, it is difficult for moral accusations to put substantial pressure on him.

"Actually, when your sister refused to follow me to Qingwei Sect, our fate was over. Even if she was not dead, we might not be able to go long." Li Xuandu continued: "Love is a matter between two people. , Marrying is a matter of two families. Can you understand? ”

Zhang Baizhou said slowly, "I understand. All you have today is thanks to the support of the Qin family."

Li Xuan laughed, "It's not impossible to say this. But have you ever thought about it? The Qin family is not a great charity who saves the suffering, but a powerful man in Liaodong. Why... in your words , Why did the Qin family 's support' me? '

Zhang Baizhou said, "Because you are the son-in-law of the Qin family."

Li Xuandu said, "But I am not a son-in-law, I am not a son-in-law, but the Qin family married my daughter to me. As the saying goes, the water splashed by a married daughter will be two families in the future. If the Qin family says It would be fine if I would like to support me or let me work in the Qin family's industry. Why did the Qin family spend such a huge price to help an outsider be on an equal footing with me? "

Zhang Baizhou was speechless.

Li Xuandu said: "Because

It is not support, but alliance. When the Qin family "supported" me, I was also "supported" the Qin family. If the Zhang family is still there, you will have this day. Marrying a woman of a good match may have nothing to do with the relationship between men and women, but they will support each other, and the couple will also establish a bond between two families. Of course, if you can find someone you like to be a husband and wife, it would be a great blessing. A monk once said that if you don’t let down the Tathagata and you don’t let down the Buddha, you don’t let down the family and you don’t let down the family. ”

Zhang Baizhou said, "How can you get the two laws in the world? What if you always have to bear one?"

"The vast majority of people have no choice." Li Xuandu said: "If you choose, it depends on what you value. Choose it yourself, but I am very lucky and don't have to choose."

Zhang Baizhou said: "This is different from what you said to me back then. You said that you are brave enough to be revenge, and you will be together for a lifetime."

Li Xuandu said "hmm", "The rivers and lakes at the bottom are different from those at the upper level."

Zhang Baizhou sneered, "The world is the world, and we have to separate one from each other? Then I really need to listen carefully."

Li Xuandu was not concerned about Zhang Baizhou's attitude and said slowly: "No matter when the world is in the world, there are statements of famous orthodox religions. What is famous orthodox religion? Is it the great heavenly master? Is it the great sword immortal? These people are just representative figures. , The so-called famous orthodox church is a huge force gathered together with interests, inheritance and concepts. They are the largest forces in the world, and thus have the right to speak in the world. What is the right to speak? Who is good, who is bad, who is They have the final say for black, who is white, who is the right way, who is the evil way, and who is the demon way. Whoever dares to challenge the famous orthodox religion will be beaten into an evil heretic, not only will he be defeated, but he will also be divided."

Zhang Baizhou said, "Now you are also a famous orthodox sect, and you are also a representative figure like the old master and the great sword immortal."

Li Xuan did not deny that "the famous orthodox churches have countless industries under the name of famous orthodox churches, including money houses, escort agencies, restaurants and inns, fleets and caravans, farm tenants, various chambers of commerce, shops, workshops, etc., and even their own army. Take Qingweizong as an example. The fleet under its command can be equipped with artillery, and the navy of the court is no match for it at all, so it is essentially a powerful man. In this case, whether it is the head of a sect or the head of a family, It represents not only oneself, but also many people's lives and business life, so you have to be careful and consider every step. Can you still be able to avenge your grudges? This so-called representative person, or the main business People should take into account the interests of their own forces. If they do not do well, they will naturally change to another person. If they lose this position, will they only affect one person? There are relatives, friends, descendants, and followers The subordinates, one prospers and one loss, and one loss. They have a high level of state, good cultivation, and still have a respectable status. They don’t care about the pain of frustration. Can their family and relatives bear it? It’s really a lot of threads, complicated and complicated. The whole body is moved. The lower level of the world can act happily because there is only one person, and the upper level of the world cannot act happily because it is not one person."

Zhang Baizhou said: "You want to tell me that you cannot fight against this huge force, you can only join forces with the flow. No, it should be with the light."

Li Xuandu said: "I just tell you, what does it mean that people are in the world that cannot help themselves. This is that they cannot help themselves. The one who restrains you may not be the enemy, but may be your relatives, friends, teachers and juniors. You are not afraid of the enemy.

Can you refuse the mercy of your parents as a threat? Maybe this elder once pulled you when you were in the worst situation, maybe that brother had saved your life, and you could accomplish something depends on these old brothers. If you don’t help, it will be awesome. What should you do? ”

Li Xuan sighed, "I have seen Lao Han of the Golden Tent, and he is also a heroic leader. He once said that when he was young, he had no freedom, and until he was old, he truly mastered Wang Ting and Jin. Only then can I have such a little freedom to do what I want. With my current position, I can’t do whatever I want, I can only follow the trend. Some people say that I have promoted the unity of Taoism, but in fact it is the six sects of the righteous path and the righteous path. The four sects have long had the intention of peace talks, and this sound is very loud. Master Tian and my master must also follow the people's hearts. I am just a person who was pushed to do things. In the final analysis, I am just following the trend."

Zhang Baizhou took a deep breath, "I understand."

Li Xuandu shook his head and said, "You don't understand that there is no distinction between good and evil in this force, just like the long sword you carry. Does the long sword have good and evil? It depends on how to use it. Whether it is the same as the same stream or the same as the light. Chen, I don’t care, I don’t mind protecting the interests of this force. This is why I promoted the unification of Taoist sects, suppressed evil Taoism, and fought against Confucian sects. But at the same time, I also gained a certain amount of power, just like I am a driver in a carriage. Although I can't let the horse walk upside down, I can decide the direction of the carriage. This is why I want to take charge of the Taoist sect. How big is the Taoist sect? Why do I master the Taoist sect? A person is It is not enough. Many people need to support me. The fewer enemies, the better, and the more friends, the better. So I have made up my past grudges with Zhengyi Sect. I have returned to Qingwei Sect several times and I have formed an alliance with the Qin family."

"In order to accomplish these three major things, I can laugh at the past fall from my brothers with my classmates. I can go to the golden tent for Liaodong. I can demote myself and take the initiative to call others the mother-in-law. I can also fight for my life several times. The plan of the bad land master finally came into being. How could all of these be said in one word?”

Li Xuan rarely reveals these heartfelt words to others, and today is an exception.

Zhang Baizhou turned around silently and was about to leave here.

Li Xuandu asked, "Where are you going?"

Zhang Baizhou said coldly: "The world is so big that there is always my place to stay, it has nothing to do with you."

Li Xuandu said: "The world is very big, but it is very small. Now the overall situation in the world is settled and I can't make any big waves."

Zhang Baizhou turned around and looked at Li Xuandu, "I have heard that you have dominated the sects, not inferior to the earth masters back then. Of course, the martial arts world is nothing in your eyes. But for me, the martial arts world is still very big, enough It's ".

Li Xuan had to ask: "Are you a member of the Zhang family or am I a member of the Zhang family? Don't you want to take revenge?"

Zhang Baizhou turned around suddenly and looked at Li Xuandu.

Li Xuandu said, "My surname is not Zhang, I am not the son-in-law of the Zhang family. I am going to take revenge as a love, and not taking revenge is also a duty. No one will blame me. But you are different. You are from the Zhang family, and the dead are Can you remain indifferent to your uncle and siblings?”

Zhang Baizhou looked at Li Xuandu's eyes and finally lowered his head, "No."

Li Xuandu asked again: "Do you want revenge?"

Zhang Baizhou clenched his fists, and after a long silence, he spit out a word, "Think."
