Taiping Inn

It is not unreasonable that Zhang Baizhou angrily accuses Li Xuan of all the same as the world and the world of light and dust. Li Xuandu is indeed not an alien. In the eyes of outsiders, Li Xuandu was born in the Qingwei Sect. By chance, he became the leader of Taiping Sect and married the leader of Wangqing Sect, and formed an alliance with others and climbed up step by step. He did not hate the unfairness of the sky. , there is no great suffering and deep hatred. Apart from the huge goal, it is completely in line with the life trajectory of a sect’s children. In fact, having ambition is not a bad thing. Even the people below prefer an ambitious leader. If you really have no desires and no desires, why bother to get involved in the bloody world?

As for Li Xuan who was expelled from the sect by Li Daoxu, it is not surprising. After all, in the eyes of most people, Li Xuan was instructed by the old master at that time, and Li Yuanying's impulse was fueled. In the final analysis, it is still There is nothing strange about the power struggle within the sect.

Under this circumstance, Li Xuandu's resistance has been reduced to a minimum, and he is even expected to touch the highest authority of the Taoist sect. This is where Li Xuandu is smart. Although he can't do anything without opposing people, the fewer opposing people, the better. Even if he wants to be an enemy of the world, he must break it up and do it step by step, without taking a bite afterwards. The truth is to be a fat man. This is a means, and people who do not talk about the methods of doing things are destined to fail to accomplish things.

As a person from a sect and also the leader of the sect, it is not surprising that Wanshou Zhenren is prejudiced and hostile towards such people who despise the sect. The biggest strange thing is that he has no hostility. He did not mention the name of this person, but just called "this person" or "anomal", and said, "This person was originally from the Dharma Xiang Sect. Perhaps because of his temperament, he was bullied by his fellow disciples, and thus he became resentful. After he has achieved his cultivation, he made a great wish to destroy the sects in the world. To be fair, as one of the few older people in the world, I am not unaware of the various disadvantages of the sect. He wants to say that the sect's powerful people do evil and illegal. He wants to change his mind, or to seek justice from the sect for the sake of the people of the world, that's fine, no matter what the position is, I still admire him as a character. But he is purely for his own personal grudges, and in fact, he is also revenge. Nothing wrong, but if you take revenge, you will be wrong with implicating innocent people."

When talking about the "various disadvantages of the sect", Wanshou Zhenren looked at Li Xuandu intentionally or unintentionally, as if he was pointing something, but Li Xuandu seemed to have not realized it, just waiting for the following text.

Wanshou Zhenren paused for a moment and continued, "The method of taking over the body of the ghost immortal is the method of saving the life of the ghost immortal at the critical moment of life and death. However, this method is dangerous. If you are not careful, you will make wedding clothes for others. It is also true. Coincidentally, a ghost immortal possessed himself directly on this person when he was dying, but the opponent of the ghost immortal was really powerful. He planted a restriction in the ghost immortal's soul and took over the body of the ghost immortal's body. At that time, it exploded in one fell swoop. The ghost immortal died completely before he took over his body. Instead, he took advantage of this alien. He obtained the legacy of the ghost immortal, and made great progress in his cultivation. He also secretly learned the secret techniques of the sect, and consciously achieved great success in his cultivation. He started to take revenge, and overnight, he killed all three of his enemies. One of them happened to go out and escaped. He then broke into his enemies' home and killed the enemy's family. It was considered a matter of inconsistency. And Not to mention that his enemies will not die, even if they deserve to die, what are the family members? Faxiang Sect was very angry and ordered the arrest of this person. He knew that he was in the wrong, so he put forward the banner of opposing the sect. Perhaps he had lies too much I believed it too, so I later made a great wish to destroy the sects in the world."

Li Xuandu just said, "The wish of Guzaoge Sect is that there is only one sect in the world. With the strength of Guzaoge Sect, it has not been achieved, let alone one person."

"That's the reason." Wanshou Zhenren said, "But this person still has some strength, and it has really caused many storms in the world. Coupled with his words and deeds, he has attracted the joint siege of other sects. He is already Forced to the desperate situation, he also knew that no one was willing to help him, so he hit his mind on someone who was not a human."

Li Xuandu said, "Demon."

Wanshou Zhenren said, "Yes, he didn't know what means he had entered the Qingqiu Mountain Cave Heaven. When he appeared again, he was already in the realm of immortality, called himself the master of Qingqiu Mountain, and was surrounded by a woman. The two of them joined forces to attack. The Faxiang Sect killed the sect leader of the Faxiang Sect. The surviving disciple of the Faxiang Sect fled to Yunjin Mountain and asked the Grand Master to make the decision for them. These actions made the righteous leader Da Tian Master extremely angry and summoned the leaders of the Taoist sect to discuss the killing. Both of them, even the evil sects, also sent people to participate in it."

Wanshou Zhenren said, "There is nothing to say about the next thing. Even if it is the realm of immortality, what about it? Even the earth master of a disaster earth immortal cannot fight against the crowd. After a big battle, the sect will lose. There are as many as eight masters in the Heavenly Realm. Three immortals of the immortal world took action together and finally killed the man. The woman who followed him was actually a monster and was suppressed into the demon lock tower. "

Li Xuandu said, "It's a fox demon."

Wanshou Zhenren said, "Fox demons are passionate, not a strange thing. Moreover, the practice of fox demons is different from other monsters. They always have to enter the world. The more the place in the world is, the more it helps them understand people's hearts and transform into humans. As the saying goes If you don’t go outside the mortal world, you won’t see the vast number of people. The powerful fox demons of all generations can even become emperor concubines, hiding by the emperor’s pillow, and not being able to see the flaws. They are no different from others.”

Li Xuandu said: "The fox demon is also called the fox fairy. It is said that its level of cultivation is related to the number of tails. The nine-tailed fox is comparable to the ancient divine beasts such as Lu Wu. However, there is no nine-tailed sky fox on earth. This fox How many immortals are there?”

Wanshou Zhenren said: "When she was imprisoned in the 'Demon Locking Tower', she was already six tails. Because the demon locking tower cave heaven was gradually destroyed, although she could not escape from the Demon Locking Tower, she could absorb the spiritual energy of the world from the outside world. , you can continue to practice, and the environment here is much better than the strict Demon-Suppressing Well Cave. If I had expected it was good, she should have seven tails now."

Li Xuan even calculated that the inference of Wanshou Zhenren coincided with the records of the Earth Master. It is certain that it was this fox fairy.

Li Xuandu asked, "I have another question. Since this demon has entered the immortal realm, why don't he leave early? What are you doing in the Demon Locking Tower?"

Wanshou Zhenren said, "Maybe it's because the world is not over, maybe it's because I have an obsession, I can't confirm it. In short, it's not that Miaozhenzong forced her to keep her in the demon lock tower, but that she didn't let her return to the world. If you want to leave, you can ascend and die at any time."

Li Xuandu nodded, "I am looking for this monster."

Wanshou Zhenren said, "Mr. Qingping defeated Song Zheng and killed Zhang Jingchen. He had a unique cultivation level in the world. There was no need to be afraid of anything. But I have to say more. The monster is different from humans. The fox demon is born with proficient in illusion and charm. The word "Fox" is not a false statement. The current disciples of the Female Sect are far inferior to this fox demon. "

Li Xuandu said seriously: "Thank you for the old real person's reminder."

True Man Wanshou said to Uncle Ji Ye beside him: "Uncle Ye, you accompany two distinguished guests to lock the demon tower, and you won't go as your master."

Ji Shuye stood up and replied, "Yes." Then he said to Li Xuandu and Shangguan Wan, "Please follow me, please."

Ji Shuye walked in front, Li Xuandu and Shangguan Wan followed behind, left Shangqing Palace, and walked towards the back mountain. Although Wanshou Zhenren said that the Demon Locking Tower was almost abandoned, it was difficult to maintain the cave heaven, and it was far from comparable to the Zhengyi Sect's Demon-Suppressing Well, the defense was still tight along the way, and only the immortal earth immortals like the Earth Master Only then can you sneak into it quietly.

After walking for half an hour, a nine-story pagoda appeared in the sight of the three of them. This was the Demon Locking Tower that was as famous as the Demon-Suppressing Well.

When they got closer, Li Xuan found that the place was extremely empty, with no other buildings around, only this lonely pagoda. About twenty feet high, unlike the glazed tower in Dabao'en Temple, this tower is very simple and has a brick and stone structure. Except for copper bells hanging on the eaves, there is no other decoration, and there is no relief mural at all. . It is hard to imagine that this is the famous Demon Locking Tower, but Li Xuan was not surprised. In fact, the same is true for the Demon-Suppressing Well. As long as the ban is not opened, at first glance, it is just a dry well that has been abandoned for many years.

Ji Shu said at night: "The pagoda was originally a unique building in Buddhism. However, after Buddhism came to the west, it was compatible with the Confucian and Taoist schools. Later, it was difficult to distinguish between the three schools, especially the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, and even the Buddha. Originally it was said that Tao was the Taoist, so Taoist and Confucians also began to build high towers. In the city of Xijing, there was the famous Big Wild Goose Pagoda, which was full of the footprints of literati, but it had little to do with the Buddha. Our Taoist sect also built this demon lock tower, which has nothing to do with the Buddha, so there has been no decorations in various ways."

Li Xuandu said, "It should be."

Shangguan Wan stepped forward a few steps, stood beside Li Xuandu, looked up, and in a daze, he felt that the tower was towering into the mountains, black and dark, making people breathless, and even his mind was felt. oppression.

At this moment, the wind was rising, the mountain shouted, and the copper bell on the eaves of the demon-locking tower moved with the wind, making a loud noise.

Li Xuandu said, "It seems that the owner of this place already knows that the guests have arrived."

Ji Shuye smiled bitterly and said, "It's really because the cave sky of the Demon Locking Tower is too broken and there are loopholes everywhere. The imprisoned fox demon has too high cultivation and can already emit part of the aura outward, so there are no disciples guarding around the Demon Locking Tower. , lest be caught by it."

Li Xuandu glanced at Shangguan Wan, who was absent-minded, and said, "It's okay."

Ji Shuye took out a pearl and handed it to Li Xuandu's hand, saying, "This is one of the secret keys of the cardinal entering and leaving the Demon Locking Tower. There were originally three, and one was stolen. This thing is the only thing in the realm of immortality. Only use it is also the reason why we are difficult to maintain the Demon Lock Tower Cave Heaven. It is just right to hand it over to Zifu today."

Li Xuandu took the pearl and said, "Thank you."

Uncle Ji said at night, "You must be careful when doing things in Zifu."
