Taiping Inn

Li Xuandu was stunned for a moment, then he understood. Bai Xiushang, Xiao Shiyu and others hurriedly left Da Baoen Temple, perhaps because Yan Feiqing made a mistake.

Li Xuandu looked at Qinghe Layman, was silent for a moment, and then said: "It seems that I harmed Yan Xuanji. If I hadn't visited, Yan Xuanji, a useless person, would not have lost the position of the headmaster, and would not have been in your eyes. Now he is still picking chrysanthemums in the east fence, and would not have caused this disaster."

Qinghe Layman did not deny Li Xuandu's statement, and asked: "Mr. Li, do you want to change? If you do, everyone will be happy. If you don't, it will only be a lose-lose situation. I will take Master Yan's life to the King of Qi to pay for his life."

Qinghe Layman obviously knew Xu Wugui a long time ago, even before Xu Wugui became a geomancer, so he still called Xu Wugui the King of Qi.

Li Xuandu was silent. It's not that he didn't want to exchange, but he didn't want to reveal his thoughts too much. If he agreed to it, Qinghe Layman might have other ideas. This is like doing business. If one party gives in too quickly, the other party will feel that they have lost out.

Qinghe Jushi's eyes have been on Li Xuandu's face, and he has never moved away.

The reason why he insisted on changing Shangguan Wan back was to give an explanation to the geomancer. Whether it is Confucianism, Taoism, or Buddhism, they all emphasize the inheritance of the torch. The inheritance is either blood inheritance or master-disciple inheritance. Xu Wugui has no children, and only two disciples, and one of them died. Shangguan Wan is Xu Wugui's last disciple. In a sense, she can also be regarded as half a daughter, otherwise Xu Wugui would not have specially planned a good fortune for her. If Shangguan Wan really died here, let alone what Xu Wugui thought in his heart, Qinghe Jushi himself would feel sorry, after all, they are old friends for many years.

Suddenly, Li Xuandu let go of Qin Su in his hand, and Zhou Shuning caught the still sleeping Qin Su with telepathy, and Li Xuandu himself disappeared.

Almost at the moment when Li Xuandu disappeared, Qinghe Layman had already made a move.

How could he dare to be careless about a person who defeated Shangguan Wan and defeated Zhang Jingchen.

Qinghe Layman waved his sleeves lightly and blocked Li Xuandu's palm.

Li Xuandu appeared not far in front of Qinghe Layman, his face slightly gloomy.

As expected, Qinghe Layman is a master of the realm of heaven and man, better than Shangguan Wan and not inferior to Zhang Jingchen. You must know that Li Xuandu only defeated Zhang Jingchen by one move. This is a competition, not a life-and-death fight, and it cannot be generalized. If it is a competition, Li Xuandu fought with Li Yuanying that day. From the moment Li Yuanying's "Wuxiang Sword" pierced Li Xuandu's chest, Li Xuandu was considered to have lost. However, the two were not competing at that time, but fighting for life and death. In the end, it was Li Xuandu who won. It can be seen that there is a huge difference between competition and life-and-death fight. Li Xuandu faced Qinghe Jushi. The two fought to the death, and Li Xuandu was not sure of winning.

At this time, the two were very close. Qinghe Jushi carefully looked at Li Xuandu, trying to judge what he really thought from his subtle expression.

But Li Xuandu did not let him do what he wanted. He only let him see that Li Xuandu valued him. He did not talk about "Tao" but only "Shu". At this time, Li Xuandu had some style of Li Daoxu.

Qinghe Jushi sighed in his heart, is this the successor of Situ Xuance?

At this time, Li Xuandu approached again and waved his palm. It was not that Li Xuandu was so arrogant that he did not use weapons, but that he could not transform "Xiaoyao Liuxu Jie" into the out-of-body qi for the time being, and he had to get close to him. In this case, fists and palms were more useful.

Qinghe Jushi also greeted him with a palm.

The two palms faced each other, and the two immediately fell into a wrestling situation, neither giving in.

Shangguan Wan saw this and shouted loudly: "Layman, be careful, this person knows 'Xiaoyao Liuxu Jie'."

Before he finished speaking, Li Xuandu had already started to operate "Xiaoyao Liuxu Jie", intending to dissolve Qinghe Layman's Qi. Qinghe Layman smiled slightly, not afraid at all.

When Li Xuandu's "Xiaoyao Liuxu Jie" met Qinghe Layman's "Haoran Qi", he felt that it was vast and without any impurities, let alone any gaps. If Shangguan Wan's Qi is a brick wall with countless brick joints, then Qinghe Layman's Qi is a stone wall carved from a whole piece of stone, without any gaps at all. In addition, Qinghe Layman's "Haoran Qi" also subtly restrained Li Xuandu's Qi. After all, most of Li Xuandu's Qi was transformed by the "Eternal Life Stone", and the "Eternal Life Stone" was refined by the National Master with countless lives, which was harmful to the harmony of heaven. Even after being refined by the "Xiaoyao Liuxujie" of the National Master, Thunder Tribulation, and Earth Master, there was still some resentment of the deceased. Li Xuandu needed to slowly refine it through the "Taiping Qingling Sutra", that is, "riding the justice of heaven and earth". This process was quite long and could not be completed in one go. At this time, after encountering the "Haoran Qi" of the justice of heaven and earth, it seemed to have encountered a natural enemy, just as Li Xuandu restrained Shangguan Wan.

This was the first time that Li Xuandu encountered such a situation since he practiced the "Xiaoyao Liuxujie". He was surprised.

This was not Li Xuandu's fault. No matter how knowledgeable he was, after all, he was old and had not really had in-depth contact with and understood the people in the Confucian School, let alone had fought with real Confucian masters. As for Shi Zongxi and his ilk, they were far inferior to the seven hermits such as Qinghe Jushi.

When Confucianism and Taoism fought, there were countless Taoist masters, but they were defeated by Confucianism. It can be seen that Confucianism has its own unique features. If we look at it from the perspective of Taoism, this "Haoran Qi" is a well-deserved method of Dacheng, or a method of Xuanmen Zhengdao. There is no other mysterious thing, only one point, "Haoran Qi" is the manifestation of the righteousness of heaven and earth, does not transform yin and yang, does not distinguish the six qi, does not distinguish the five elements, and keeps it. Evil spirits cannot invade, ghosts and gods cannot approach, the five spells are not effective, and the sword formula cannot hurt it. "Swallowing Moon Method" and "Eclipse Sun Method" cannot absorb it, and "Xiaoyao Six Void Tribulations" cannot break it. If you want to beat "Haoran Qi", you can only compete honestly in realm cultivation, and you can't use any tricks. When Confucianism and Taoism fought, Confucian masters let Taoist masters use thousands of methods, and only used one method to break and win. Only the innate five Tai can be slightly restrained, but it is also greatly reduced.

Because of this, Confucian masters are strong and weak. If their realm is not as good as their opponents, they do not have the various tricks of the Taoists, and there is almost no possibility of fighting across the border. However, if their realm is higher than their opponents, they are not afraid of any tricks and there is almost no possibility of being challenged across the border. To sum it up in one word, it is "stable". In the past, King Ning started a rebellion with the support of some Taoists, and countless Taoists responded. However, when the saint of mind learning appeared, many Taoists came up with strange tricks and wonderful methods. However, no one could be his opponent because of their inferior realm.

This is the case with Qinghe Jushi. He is at the same realm as Li Xuandu, so Li Xuandu can't easily defeat him. If the two really want to decide the winner, it must be more than a thousand moves.

Li Xuandu didn't know the reason, and urged "Xiaoyao Liuxu Jie" again, but Qinghe Jushi's aura was still as stable as the Five Mountains, not moving at all, not to mention falling apart.

Li Xuandu finally understood that he had met his nemesis, and that his "Xiaoyao Six Void Tribulations" was not yet fully practiced. So he changed his mindset and no longer relied on the "Xiaoyao Six Void Tribulations" to take advantage. He still used the "Wanhua Divine Sword Palm", but the palm no longer contained the "Xiaoyao Six Void Tribulations", but the "Nitian Tribulations" sword energy, which was the best in killing, to fight against Qinghe Layman head-on.

Qinghe Layman was not afraid at all, and separated his palms and faced Li Xuandu again.

Li Xuandu's palms were like swords, and his moves were extremely sharp. Qinghe Layman's moves were unpredictable, and he did not fight head-on. Obviously, he was also proficient in various martial arts. After all, he was an eighty-year-old man, and his cultivation would encounter a threshold bottleneck, but the sea of ​​learning was endless, and in terms of erudition, he might not be worse than Li Xuandu.

The two fought faster and faster. At this time, Li Xuandu had already used the "Taiping Qingling Sutra" to imitate the "Taishang Dan Sutra" which was also extremely yang and strong, replacing the "Changsheng Stone" Qi that contained violent resentment. Although he still couldn't do anything to Qinghe Jushi's "Haoran Qi", he could greatly reduce the restraint of "Haoran Qi" on himself.

"Taishang Dan Sutra" is all-encompassing, with a total of 24 chapters, that is, 24 cultivation methods. Among them, the fifth, tenth, and seventeenth chapters are each a sword technique; the sixth, seventh, and eighth chapters are each a magic method; the ninth, fourteenth, and sixteenth chapters are each a set of boxing methods; and the thirteenth, eighteenth, and twentieth chapters are the methods for nurturing Qi and true essence, and the last chapter is the outline of the general formula.

When the "Taishang Danjing" was in the hands of Mu Gou Zhenren, it was originally a method of great success, but later the inheritance was slightly lost, just like the "Taiping Jing" and "Qingling Jing", it became a method of great success, but even so, it is still powerful.

Li Xuandu suddenly changed from the "Wanhua Shenjian Palm" to the "Tianci Zhinan Sanshou" from the "Taishang Danjing". The mystery lies in the magnetic force generated by the internal energy. No matter how the opponent changes his position, it always points directly to the opponent's body, just like a compass, and then the body moves with the hand, hitting the opponent's acupoints all over the body.

Qinghe Jushi was affected by the magnetic force and had to fight Li Xuandu hard.

With a "boom", the two palms intersected. Although the two have been very restrained and strive not to hurt the surroundings, let alone let too much aftermath spread out, the gust of wind still made the surrounding trees shake endlessly, and the flowers and plants all bowed their heads.

The two of them took a step back, and Qinghe Lay Buddhist turned defense into offense, actively slapping out with a palm, and Li Xuandu also slapped back with a palm. The two of them shook slightly, and Li Xuandu felt that the blood and qi in his body were all shaken, and his eardrums were like drums. However, Qinghe Lay Buddhist was not feeling well either. The two of them over-restrained the leakage of their own qi and did not release the force to the outside. In the end, they both bore the force of the other party. So the situation became that the two of them did not hurt any grass or trees, and they were downplayed, showing the demeanor of masters, but their blood and qi were churning inside, and their internal organs were damaged.

Li Xuandu took a few steps back and praised, "You are a good cultivator."

"Mr. Li is not bad either." Qinghe Layman stood still and gently turned his palm over. "If we continue to fight, it will be difficult for me to control the leakage of my own Qi. It is said that when gods fight, mortals suffer. If you and I really want to let go, fight to the death, fight to the point of seeing strange phenomena in the sky, and shake the mountains and the earth. Destroying half of the Baoen Temple is a small matter, but if you accidentally hurt the two children behind you and Miss Qin, it will be a big sin."

Li Xuandu looked at Qinghe Layman deeply and said no more nonsense, "Where is Master Yan?"
