Taiping Inn

A mature man should learn to control his emotions, whether they are beautiful or cruel. In other words, he should know how to restrain himself, whether it is love or hatred. Too much emotion will affect reason.

In this regard, Li Xuandu is still qualified. Even in the Great Immortal Mansion on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, he only lost control for a short time when Qin Su was attacked by Zhang Jingchen. After confirming that Qin Su was not in danger of life, he quickly regained his composure.

Li Xuandu is not very good at dealing with men and women, but he knows how to restrain and refuse, rather than indulge in his desires.

Of course, the same is true for the outstanding women in the world.

So after a moment of silence, the two returned to their previous state, and the brief embarrassment just now seemed to be just an illusion in a trance.

Li Xuandu suggested: "The scenery here is nice, why don't we go out for a walk?"

Yu Qingning smiled and nodded: "It's been a long time since I last saw the scenery."

Li Xuandu said: "It's better to see with your eyes than to perceive with your mind or hear with your ears."

The two got up and left the courtyard, walked out of Yuzhen Temple, and walked side by side on a mountain road that had not been completely completed. On the roadside, neatly stacked square blue bricks could be seen, which seemed to be made from local materials.

Yu Qingning asked curiously, "It will cost a lot to renovate the entire Zhongnan Mountain. Who paid for it?"

Li Xuandu replied, "In the beginning, it was the old Heavenly Master who paid for it. Later, when the Dao Sect was unified, all the sects contributed money, but the biggest contributors were from the Zhengyi Sect, Qingwei Sect, Butian Sect, and Taiping Sect."

Because there were no other people around, Yu Qingning spoke more casually, "In the past two years, the Taiping Sect has gone from closing the mountain to showing up in public, which is really a world of difference. Although it cost a lot of money, many Taiping Sect disciples feel proud of it. When walking in the world, anyone who sees them will compliment them, just like the disciples of several major sects, This is all thanks to you, the leader. It is said in the martial arts world that the Taiping Sect has surpassed the Yin-Yang Sect and the Zhengyi Sect, and is second only to the Qingwei Sect, the Wudao Sect, and the Butian Sect, and is the fourth largest sect in the martial arts world. "

Li Xuandu said: "It doesn't matter which sect it is, there will only be the Taoist sect in the future."

"That's not the case." Yu Qingning disagreed, "Even in a family, brothers have to distinguish between the superior and the inferior, let alone such a large Taoist sect?"

Li Xuandu thought for a while and said: "That's true. Life is a hundred years. In this life, I can only force the Taoist sect to be put together. If I want the Taoist sect to truly become one from the inside out, just like the Confucian sect, it will take hundreds of years of slow integration."

Yu Qingning sighed: "Your ideas are too big, and I don't know how to evaluate them. I'm very curious, if one day the world is truly peaceful, what are you going to do?"

Li Xuandu did not hide the fact that "If you say The world is peaceful only if there is no war. There are many things to do. Even if there is no war, the people are still in trouble because there are still harsh policies and natural disasters. This is not a problem that can be solved by force. It is said that governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. It is a very troublesome thing. In fact, the governance of Taoism is the same. How to eliminate the hatred accumulated over thousands of years cannot be done by force. It is like threading a needle. It requires delicate work. If one day, these problems do not exist, but can only be controlled within an acceptable range, I think I will not have too much time in the world. "

Yu Qingning said with admiration: "Zi Fu was born in the Donghai Li family, which is rich and powerful, but he can think like this. It is not easy. "

Li Xuandu sighed: "In fact, a person's life is a process of finding 'who am I'. "

"Who am I?" Yu Qingning repeated softly.

"Yes." Li Xuandu said, "Who am I? I am Mr. Qingping, I am the Purple Mansion Sword Immortal, I am a son, a husband, a teacher, and even a father. You just said that I was born in the Li family of the East China Sea and am the adopted son of the Great Sword Immortal. So before that, who was I? I am Li Xuandu, who is Li Xuandu? He should have parents, who are his parents? Whenever I think of this, I can't help but trace my roots. It turns out that I am also the son of a commoner, without any bloodline, and no more noble than others. Without the adoption of a master, I would have died silently among the starving people. So I am very grateful to my master, and I also sympathize with those innocent people. This is probably the sympathy of the same kind."

Yu Qingning shook his head, seeming to understand, but also seemed not to understand, and finally turned into a long sigh, "Do you know who you are?"

Li Xuandu did not answer directly, Instead, he borrowed a saying from the ancients, "I have been dealing with myself for a long time, and then I know that I am myself, and I would rather be myself."

Yu Qingning asked again: "Then are you happy?"

Li Xuandu was stunned for a moment and said: "Happy, happy. Happy, happy. Are you asking me if I am happy and happy? I can only say that doing things for what I want may not be pleasant, but it is not painful."

Yu Qingning said: "I guess many people will say you are a lunatic behind your back."

"You can't become a Buddha without being crazy." Li Xuandu laughed, "That's right, otherwise how can I get to where I am today? In fact, the Earth Master is also a lunatic. Tan Taiyun and Song Zheng don't understand the Earth Master, don't understand what the Earth Master wants to do, or simply think that the Earth Master wants to compete for the world, so they broke up with the Earth Master, and the Earth Master didn't leave his mantle to them."

This is Li Xuandu telling Yu Qingning something in disguise. After all, Yu Qingning and others have been disciples of the righteous way for many years. Since they were sensible, the Earth Master has been the image of a treacherous and evil person. Li Xuandu can't say some things too bluntly.

Yu Qingning is a smart person and immediately understood, "So you are the new earth master?"

"It's almost the same." Li Xuan was not too modest. Shangguan Guan inherited the sect leader of Yinyang Sect, but did not inherit the position of Earth Master. Just like Yan Feiqing became the sect leader of Zhengyi Sect, but Zhang Luanshan was the Great Heavenly Master.

Yu Qingning couldn't help but shake her head and said, "I never thought that I would actually go side by side with the Earth Master."

Li Xuandu said, "This place is not that place."

The two walked in silence for a while, and Yu Qingning suddenly asked, "What do you think of the palace officials?"

Li Xuandu glanced at Yu Qingning and said in surprise: "This is not a question you will ask. In my impression, you are a person who doesn't like right and wrong."

Yu Qingning said, "I decided to make an exception."

Li Xuandu said, "I don't know how to evaluate it."

"Article is right and wrong." Yu Qingning said, "What I am curious is, are you not thief-hearted? Or are you not thief-hearted?"

Li Xuandu said, "It should be because he has no thief heart and no courage."

Yu Qingning smiled, "Not mentioning the thief's heart, Mr. Qingping is not even afraid of a dignified saint. How could he be afraid of a mere palace official?"

"Can't it be Su Su who sent you to test me?" Li Xuandu joked.

Yu Qingning smiled and said, "It was Susu who sent me here, so will you do it?"

"Teacher." Li Xuandu said, "Let's not mention my loyalty to Su Su for the time being, just talk about the pros and cons..."

Before he finished speaking, Yu Qingning couldn't help laughing out loud.

Li Xuan was unmoved and continued, "I am not a love saint. In such a thing, the two of me may not be the opponent of the palace official. If I really mess with the palace official, I am afraid I really want to go back. The house is restless. Do you think the palace official is a woman who is willing to surrender? She refuses, and Su Su is a gentle person with a strong character on the outside and a hard person on the inside. You can only choose one of the two. How do you think I should choose? "

Yu Qingning said, "I don't know if you are a love saint, but if I were a palace girl, I would be afraid I would give up."

One pun.

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment and said, "The palace official is a person who is more and more courageous and enjoys it as he goes down. What she cares about is not the result, but the process. This is also something she cannot control. She doesn't care about the result. Then she may do anything, but I can't do it, I care about the result, then whatever I will do is within her expectations, and I have no chance of winning. So my best way is to stay away from it, not provoke, and not accept it Tell me, as if I don't move like a mountain."

Yu Qingning sighed, "It was her luck to meet you."

Li Xuandu whispered: "It's my luck that I can meet her."

Yu Qingning stopped and looked out of the mountain, "You are making each other successful."

Li Xuandu asked, "By the way, you haven't told me the name of the lyrics you chose."

Yu Qingning chanted softly and said, "When did you ask, this mountain comes here? The west wind and sunset are silent. Look at you, you are the Emperor Xi, who is called Taichu. On the road, it is considered that there is only one, but the world is not as good as the present. A cup Who lifts it? I laughed at me and shouted to you. Before the towering sky rose, the mountain birds left again. I must remember that last night, the wind and rain of Longqiu, and the stone waves danced in front of the door. The ghosts in the mountain blew the lights and roared, shocking the children of the world. As agreed, He also asked me, "The Lord is good at traveling with a stick." God agrees with you, wait for you to carry your king thousands of miles away, beat the phoenix and phoenix, and recite my traveling poem."

Li Xuandu said slowly, "Mountain Ghost Song."
