Taiping Inn

In the eyes of many ordinary people in the martial arts world, Mr. Qingping Li Xuandu may not be considered a villain, let alone a demon, but he is not really like a good guy.

Not to mention the deeds of the Purple Mansion Sword Immortal in his early years, after becoming famous, he cleaned up the Taiping Sect and monopolized power. Many old masters were deprived of power. Then, he abolished the Great Heavenly Master under the banner of the Old Heavenly Master as an outsider. No matter how you look at it, there is a suspicion of overbearing. No wonder some people say that Mr. Qingping has regarded himself as the Grand Master of the Taoist Sect.

This is exactly the source of Qi Feixia's uneasiness. In his opinion, everything that is related to Mr. Qingping is bound to be bad. But he couldn't refuse the visit. After all, the Shushan Sword Sect had no conflict with the Taiping Sect. More importantly, the Shushan Sword Sect couldn't afford to offend Mr. Qingping. Even Zhang Jingchen and "Demon Knife" Song Zheng were defeated, and they were defeated so badly. What can they do about the Shushan Sword Sect? They can only take the initiative to lead Ning Yi and the other two to the mountain gate.

Shushan Sword Sect is known as the largest sect in the world. Its mountain gate is not inferior to many sects. It has also built a mountain road from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, which is very expensive.

The group climbed the mountain along this mountain road. Along the way, they also saw many disciples of Shushan Sword Sect. They all stopped to greet Qi Feixia. Obviously, although Qi Feixia is young, he has a good status in Shushan Sword Sect. He should be a direct disciple, similar to the status of Li Yuanying, Li Xuandu and others in Qingwei Sect. In time, even if he cannot take charge of the sect, he will be a powerful figure in the sect.

Tang Wan is very good at judging people. She saw that Qi Feixia was not bad at first glance, so she asked Ning Yi to come forward and talk to them, saving them some effort.

The three of them came to Shushan Sword Sect this time at the instruction of Li Xuandu. They wanted to have a deep talk with Qi Yinbing, the current head of Shushan Sword Sect, hoping that Shushan Sword Sect could understand the general trend and follow the trend.

Li Xuandu lived in Zhongnan Mountain for many days, so he certainly didn't waste his time. Li Xuandu spent a lot of thought on the selection of candidates. Needless to say, Ning Yi, as Li Xuandu's right-hand man and a close and trusted confidant, was naturally Li Xuandu's representative envoy. Madam Tang Wan and Ji Shuye were both local snakes in Shuzhou. It can be said that except for the Qingyang Sect, which had been torn apart, all the leading figures in the Shuzhou martial arts world had arrived, which was very serious.

Soon, the group arrived at the Shushan Sword Sect. Qi Feixia was not completely unprepared. When climbing the mountain, she had sent a message to the mountain. At this time, Qi Yinbing had already received the news.

The head of the Shushan Sword Sect looked about the age of knowing his destiny, with a long beard and a good appearance. When he was young, he must have been a handsome man who attracted women. Now that he is old, he is still slender, with bright eyes, and looks very majestic. Qi Feixia is his disciple and also his son. After receiving the message from his son, Qi Yinbing, who has more experience in the martial arts world, immediately noticed something wrong.

Because before Zhang Baizhou went down the mountain, he had told his master that he wanted to worship his sister and might also go to see Li Xuandu. At that time, Qi Yinbing thought that he could use this matter to establish a good relationship with Mr. Qingping, so he did not object. Logically speaking, Zhang Baizhou should have met Mr. Qingping at this time. After all, Mr. Qingping is not a person with an uncertain whereabouts. He is either in Taiping Mountain or Zhongnan Mountain. In this case, why would Mr. Qingping send people to the Shushan Sword Sect to look for Zhang Baizhou?

Qi Yinbing had two guesses, one of which was that Zhang Baizhou had not seen Mr. Qingping yet, and the other was that these people were fake. If the first guess is okay, but if it is the second guess, then you have to be on guard.

Qi Yinbing thought about it and sent someone to invite two junior brothers to come. These two junior brothers were not on the black and white spectrum, and few people in the world knew them, but they were both first-class masters. One of them was in the ninth floor of the Return to Truth Realm, and the other was in the Heavenly Man Free and Easy Realm. The three of them joined forces, and with the support of the sect, they were not afraid of anything.

Not long after, the two came to Qi Yinbing's residence together. One was tall and thin, named Li Sibai, and the other was short and fat, named Zhang Sanqing. Qi Yinbing told the two what happened, and both said that the head brother was thoughtful and willing to welcome the guests with the head brother.

Just then, a disciple came with three name cards in his hand, handed them to Qi Yinbing, and said: "Report to the head, there are guests visiting."

Qi Yinbing took the three name cards, but was startled. He saw that the first name card was written: "Ji Shuye of Miaozhen Sect".

Qi Yinbing hurriedly looked at the second name card, which was written: "Tang Wan of Tangjiabao".

For Qi Yinbing, these two people are very familiar. The Shuzhou Jianghu is divided into four parts. The leader of Miaozhen Sect is Wanshou Zhenren, but Wanshou Zhenren has not taken care of the sect's affairs for many years, and his disciple Ji Shuye has done it for him. If Ji Shuye had not made a big mistake, he would have been the leader of Miaozhen Sect. The old patriarch of the Tang family is Tang Muba, who is known as the "Golden Arm Buddha" in the Jianghu, but the head of the family is "Thousand-Handed Guanyin" Mrs. Tang Wan. Tang Wan is known as the Three Guanyins in the Jianghu with two other women, namely "White-robed Guanyin" Bai Xiushang and "Blood Guanyin" Shi Wuyue. Bai Xiushang is the leader of Cihang Sect, and Shi Wuyue is the elder of Xuannv Sect. This shows how powerful Tang Wan is.

Qi Yinbing took a deep breath and looked at the last name card. He was shocked and saw that it said: "Taiping Sect Ning Yi".

Zhang Sanqing and Li Sibai saw that their senior brother's expression was changing, and hurriedly asked, "Senior brother?"

"Those who come with bad intentions will not come." Qi Yinbing sighed and handed the name card to the two.

After the two read it, they were also shocked. Zhang Sanqing said in shock, "It turned out to be the 'Blood Knife' Ning Yi who came in person?"

Li Sibai said, "Tang Wan and Ji Shuye should not be underestimated either."

Zhang Sanqing said: "What does this mean? Is it necessary to make such a big fuss to find Zhang Baizhou?"

Qi Yinbing said: "It is said that during the sword fight in Yuxu, the two swords used by 'Blood Blade' Ning Yi were 'Grand Master' and 'Qi Fang Wang Dao'. Let alone 'Grand Master', everyone knows that 'Qi Fang Wang Dao' is Miss Qin's dowry. Miss Qin is willing to give her sword to Ning Yi, which shows the deep relationship between Mr. Qingping and Ning Yi. Mr. Qingping has a big plan. This time he sent his confidant to help Ning Yi. I'm afraid he has a big plan."

Zhang Sanqing and Li Sibai both changed their faces. Zhang Sanqing said bluntly, "Do the three of them want to wipe out our Shushan Sword Sect? They underestimate our Shushan Sword Sect!"

Li Sibai was more stable and smiled bitterly, "They don't have any If we don't want to use force, it's called defeating the enemy without fighting. Even if we can repel the strong enemy, what good will it do to the overall situation? I'm afraid that Mr. Qingping will come in person next time. "

Qi Yinbing pondered for a moment and said, "Since they handed in their name cards to visit us in a proper manner and didn't tear their faces apart, it can be seen that there is still some room for maneuver in this matter. Let's go and see what they say first."

Zhang Sanqing and Li Sibai looked at each other and had no other choice but to say, "It's the only way."

The three of them came to the main hall. At this time, Qi Feixia was accompanying Ning Yi, Ji Shuye, and Tang Wan. It was not until the three showed their name cards that Qi Feixia realized that Brother Ning, who was calling him a brother, was actually the famous "Blood Knife" Ning Yi. The other two were also well-known senior figures in the Shuzhou Jianghu. It was really beyond his expectation. But at this time, he was in a difficult situation. He could only bite the bullet and accompany these three uninvited guests without losing his manners. At the same time, he was secretly surprised. They say that there are only wrong names, not wrong nicknames. Since Ning Yi is called "Blood Knife", he must have killed countless people. How come there is no murderous aura on him? Instead, he looks like a scholar?

Just then, Qi Yinbing and the other two arrived.

Qi Feixia came to his father immediately. Qi Yinbing glanced at his son and motioned him to leave. Then he bowed and said, "It was beyond my expectation that you three would come to our sect. I hope you will not be offended by the simple hospitality."

Ning Yi and the other two also stood up and returned the greetings, saying, "We are uninvited guests. There is no need to be polite, Sect Master Qi."

After a brief greeting, the six people sat down on the left and right. Zhang Sanqing was the first to speak, "I have long heard of the name of 'Blood Knife'. I heard that Mr. Ning came here to look for our disciple Zhang Baizhou. May I ask Mr. Ning, why would a junior bother you three?"

Ning Yi smiled slightly, "Ning said that he wanted to see Zhang Baizhou before, but it was just an excuse. Please forgive me. Ning came here to present a handwritten letter from Mr. Qingping to Sect Master Qi for personal address."

After that, Ning Yi took out a letter from his sleeve, stood up and handed it to Qi Yinbing. Qi Yinbing took it with both hands, and saw that the wax seal at the mouth was stamped with Li Xuandu's private seal, with only the four characters "Mr. Qingping".

After Li Xuandu ascended to the throne of the Taiping Sect, Madam Lu specially asked the craftsmen in the sect to carve three seals for Li Xuandu, namely: "Mr. Qingping", "Li Xuandu", and "Zifu", corresponding to Li Xuandu's name, surname, and courtesy name. Later, Li Xuandu and Qin Su settled in Jianxiu Mountain, and Qin Su also had three seals carved for him, namely "Master of Jianxiu Mountain", "Guest of Zifu", and "Master of Earth".

Seals are mainly divided into official seals and casual seals according to the content of the seals. Apart from official seals, they are collectively called casual seals. Among Li Xuandu's casual seals, there are two studio seals, named after his residence or study. One was given by Madam Lu, which is "Tianshui Pavilion", and the other was given by Qin Su, which is "Wangjian Peak". Then there are the seals for calligraphy and painting. If it is the emperor's seal, it is mostly named after his reign title, such as Emperor Muzong's "Wu De" and Emperor Shizong's "Ming Yong". Li Xuandu's seals are: "Qing Ping Xiansheng Qing Shang", "Zi Fu Ke Zhen Collection", "Wang Jian Feng Master Collection", "Li Si Yan Fu", all of which were given by Qin Su.

Li Xuandu rarely uses casual seals, but mostly uses name seals. The most used ones are "Li Xuandu" and "Qing Ping Xiansheng".

Qi Yinbing opened the envelope in front of him, which only contained two pages of letter paper. Qi Yinbing quickly finished reading the letter and his face changed drastically, "Mr. Ning, if I am not dazzled, then the meaning of this letter is to ask our Shushan Sword Sect to submit to Taoism?"

Ning Yi said: "It is to ask the Shushan Sword Sect to join Taoism. The Shushan Sword Sect is still the Shushan Sword Sect and does not conflict with Taoism."
