When Jin Chansou said this, both the Taoists and the Confucians were silent and looked heavy-faced.

In the past, the Taoist sect was divided into countless branches, and these branches were divided into two major factions, which were the predecessors of the two paths of good and evil today. Both sides wanted to rule the Kunlun Immortal Capital, so they agreed to fight swords at the Yuxu Peak of Kunlun Mountain. The time of the fight was uncertain, sometimes once a hundred years, sometimes once every ten years. So far, there have been twelve sword fights, and the twelfth sword fight has just passed more than ten years.

In the last sword fight in Yuxu, two people died, namely the former leader of the Faxiang Sect and the former leader of the Tianle Sect, and Song Zheng also narrowly escaped death. However, this sword fight can be regarded as a very restrained one for both sides in the previous sword fights. In the previous sword fights, most of them were killed and injured.

Among the people present now, Zhang Jingxiu, Li Daoxu, Qin Qing, and Song Zheng were all witnesses. Li Daoxu and Song Zheng were the protagonists of the sword fight, and the trajectory of the two changed. Li Daoxu's prestige increased greatly because of the sword fight, and then he officially competed with Zhang Jingxiu for the leader of the righteous path, while Song Zheng fell from grace and fled to the Golden Tent, which indirectly led to the rise of Tan Taiyun.

Now that the Golden Toad Sou mentioned the Jade Void Sword Fight, those who witnessed it naturally had different feelings.

After a while, Zhang Jingxiu said, "I was one of the organizers of the last Yuxu Sword Fight. The other organizer was the Earth Master. Brother Li, Mr. Qin, and Mr. Song were also participants. The Yuxu Sword Fight was actually a fight between the various sects of our Taoism. People from the Confucian sect should not participate."

Golden Toad Old Man said, "Grand Heavenly Master, this is not right. The last Yuxu Sword Fight, people from the Buddhist sect participated in it. The three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, Taoism can participate, and Buddhism can also participate, so why can't Confucianism participate?"

After this, Zhang Jingxiu couldn't refute it. There were indeed people from the Buddhist sect participating last time, and it was precisely because of the help of Buddhism that the righteous path could suppress the evil path for a long time.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jingxiu turned his gaze to Li Daoxu and Qin Qing.

Li Daoxu said: "Yuxu sword fight, it's really great."

Qin Qing's words were brief, "It makes people miss it."

Song Zheng, who had been silent, also spoke: "If there is a grudge, take revenge, if there is a grudge, take revenge, and make a conclusion."

Golden Toad Old Man laughed and said: "So, you all have no objection, right?"

Li Daoxu, Qin Qing, and Zhang Jingxiu looked at Li Xuandu at the same time.

In any case, Li Xuandu is now the fourth person in the Taoist sect after the three people, and he is also the link between the three people. To make a very inappropriate analogy, there are already many conflicts between the husband and wife, and they wish they could live separately, but for the sake of the children, they often reluctantly maintain it. In the "big family" of the Taoist sect, Li Xuandu temporarily plays a role similar to that of a child. He is not only the connection and bond of the previous generation, but also the future heir who has been tacitly accepted. So Li Xuandu's opinion is very important.

Li Xuandu paused for a moment and said, "Although I didn't participate in the last Yuxu Sword Fight because I was still young, I still know the process of the Yuxu Sword Fight. I even went to the old site of the Yuxu Sword Fight and comprehended Mr. Song's 'Heaven and Earth Are My Way' from it."

"It's an honor." Song Zheng responded with a smile.

Li Xuandu then changed the subject, "The Confucian School wants to participate in the Yuxu Sword Fight. It's because my Taoist School has been in internal strife for a long time and is torn apart, right?"

"I dare not!" said the Golden Toad Old Man, "The reunification of the Taoist School is a cause for celebration, but it is unreasonable that the Great Heavenly Master, Mr. Li, and Mr. Qin decided to exclude the Earth Master, the Saint Lord, and Mr. Song. Since they are going to reunify, how can they exclude the three of them and the Northwest Sects? In the end, they still have to fight. You have the help of Buddhism on your side, and we have the help of Confucianism on the other side. Everyone is equal."

Li Xuandu paused for a moment and said, "In this way, the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism They are all here. In this case, let's take this opportunity to make a conclusion. "

Golden Toad Old Man smiled coldly and said, "In this case, we will each invite friends to help, and meet at Kunlun Yuxu on July 15th, the Zhongyuan Festival. What does Song Zongzhu think?"

Song Zheng smiled and said, "I have no objection, and I think the Earth Master and the Saint King have no objection either."

Li Xuandu also looked at Zhang, Li, and Qin and asked, "What do the three elders mean?"

Li Daoxu said, "Everything is up to you."

Li Xuandu nodded, took out the "Green Dragon" from his sleeve, cut a wound on his palm, and let the blood fall.

Song Zheng also used Tiger Zen Master's sword to make a similar move. The blood of the two fell on the ground, winding and flowing, like a stream. In the end, the two bright red streams converged into a small pool of blood.

The masters of the good and evil sides fought many times, and they had to make a blood oath beforehand. It is said that this oath will be recognized by the Taoist ancestors, but it is unknown whether it is true or not, and no one has ever verified it. However, the person who signed the agreement must have a respected status on both sides of the sword fight. The last time, the people who signed the agreement were Zhang Jingxiu and Xu Wugui, but now it has become Li Xuandu and Song Zheng. There is no need to say more about Song Zheng. If it weren't for the last Yuxu sword fight, he should have been the leader of the evil sect now, and Li Xuandu was officially recognized as the "crown prince" by Zhang, Li, and Qin.

Although Li Xuandu has never participated in the Yuxu sword fight, it is natural for him to know these rules with his status and position. In fact, not only he knows, but Yan Feiqing and others also know.

After the blood agreement is made, both sides will temporarily restrain themselves, stop fighting, and fully prepare for the Yuxu sword fight.

When signing the agreement, Li Xuandu is also observing the reactions of the Confucianists.

Regarding the sudden decision proposed by Jin Chansou, several Confucian hermits, Qinghe lay Buddhist, Mr. Bailu, and Ziyanshan people, looked calm. It was obvious that they had already learned about this decision, and it was not surprising that several high-ranking priests of the academy were A little shock was revealed, which showed that he was not aware of it in advance. From this point of view, the Confucian hermit and the Dajiu are not really united. They each have their own plans and interests. They just chose to join forces because of the great enemy. But among the Confucian hermits, who made this decision? Is it the Golden Toad? Or is the Qinghe lay Buddhist who was vaguely led by him? Or is it one of the two old man Long and Chi Yang Weng who did not show up?

Li Xuan thought about this and took a step back, and the wound on his palm had healed on his own.

Song Zheng also made similar moves.

Then the pool of blood on the ground began to dry up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and eventually disappeared.

Although this place is the territory of the Wanxiang Academy, the people in the Confucian Sect left first. Just as the oath made by the Confucian Sect, the Longmen Mansion is now handed over to the Taoist Sect, and the Confucian Sect will not intervene.

After the Confucian people left, only five people were left. It was not until this time that Qin Su turned over and dismounted and led the horse toward this side.

With the elders present, Qin Su was not too close to Li Xuan, so he just looked at him, walked to Qin Qing and whispered, "Dad."

Qin Qing smiled slightly and joked, "It turns out that I still remember my father, it's really rare."

Qin Su's face turned slightly red and she whispered, "Where is it?"

Qin Qing joked: "When I came out of the Great Wilderness North Palace, I thought I could see my happy daughter and son-in-law, but my daughter didn't see her, and I didn't see her. Only then did I realize that my daughter and son-in-law had gone to the Central Plains. Leaving me alone in this white mountains and black waters makes me, a father, feel very sad."

Qin Su lowered her head, not knowing how to answer.

Li Xuandu smiled and said, "I hope my father-in-law will forgive me. We went to the Central Plains, one because the situation was urgent, and the other was because we both wanted to pay our respects to our mother-in-law. I think our father-in-law won't blame him."

Li Xuan knew the principle of defeating one thing. To deal with Qin Qing, he had to bring out Bai Xiushang, the mother-in-law.

Qin Su is worthy of having a close relationship with Li Xuandu. He immediately understood Li Xuandu’s intention and hurriedly said, “I know that Aunt Bai and Bai are worried about their father, so I went to see Aunt Bai for my father and relax her heart.”

Qin Su's shyness was mostly not inherited from Qin Qing. Qin Qing remained calm and smiled lightly, "Just believe this kind of thing."

Qin Su felt a little guilty. After all, before this, she was very hostile to Bai Xiushang. Now even if she is no longer hostile to Bai Xiushang, it is a bit awkward. How could she take the initiative to see Bai Xiushang?

After saying gossip, Qin Qing restrained his smile and said, "Talk about serious matters, two Taoist brothers, you are older. Last time, Yuxu fought with swords, you were the ones who dominate the situation. What do you think?"

Zhang Jingxiu pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Before Yuxu fighting sword, there will be a consultation. To put it bluntly, it means there must be a lottery and a bet. The last time Yuxu fighting sword, the bet we set was Shuzhou, because the five northwest sects had begun to penetrate Shuzhou at that time, and Shuzhou had always been the territory of Miaozhen Sect. The righteous sects could not sit idly by and watch the destruction of Miaozhen Sect, and would inevitably rush to help Shuzhou. Under this background, both good and evil were unfolding. After Yuxu's sword fighting, he finally won the right way. Because of this, even if the five northwest sects later established the Great Zhou Dynasty and invaded Shuzhou, Liangzhou and Qinzhou, they did not attack Miaozhen Sect. As for why the Dishi and others did not violate the agreement, It is because the oath is a rule passed down from generation to generation, so many senior experts dare not breach the contract, which shows that there must be some mystery, so Xu Wugui and Song Zheng did not dare to test the law rashly. "

Li Xuandu asked, "This is the rule of our Taoist sect. Does it have anything to do with the Confucian sect?"

"It's related." This time it was Li Daoxu who spoke, "Zi Mansion, do you still remember Xu Gongshisong?"

Li Xuan was stunned and replied, "Remember."

Xu Shisong is a legendary figure. He was once at the center. After his death, his spiritual position entered the Virtuous Temple and was also known as the "Xu Tie Hand". The first is because he is the world's leading gold and stone master. Xu Shisong is known to him. With the palm of your hand, you can engrave seals with gold and stone seals. It is long in regular script, magnificent and plump, and the outlines are extremely heavy, which is a masterpiece of the world. The second is because he is also a veritable master, ranking eighth on the Taixuan List. He once promoted Qin Xiang with one hand, and his nephew was Xu Shouzhai, one of the four ministers, and he was also Li Daoxu's friend.

Thinking of this, Li Xuan immediately remembered that the "world" in his hand was originally written by Xu Shisong.
