Taiping Inn

Li Xuandu looked far away and saw two figures vaguely visible in the smoke and dust, but they soon disappeared. At the same time, the oppressive atmosphere symbolizing the realm of immortality gradually dissipated.

Li Xuandu knew that the two had left Baidi City, and the next step would most likely be a long-distance chase. However, Li Xuandu did not think that Qin Qing could kill Song Zheng. Not to mention that the difference in their cultivation was not big, just from Song Zheng's identity as a Taoist priest, he might not be as good as Qin Qing, a warrior, in terms of killing power, but in terms of means of escape, he was far inferior to the warrior. From the Five Elements Escape Technique to the Qimen Dunjia, there are also means such as the "Yin Yang Gate", which can be said to be endless. How can a warrior catch up with him by just flying with his Qi? Even after reaching the realm of immortality, the boundary between warriors and Taoist priests gradually blurred, and they could barely use means such as escape techniques or the "Yin Yang Gate", but they were not as skilled as ghost immortals after all.

Based on Li Xuandu's understanding of Qin Qing, he is not the kind of person who knows that he can't do it but still does it. If he knows that he can't kill Song Zheng, he won't chase Song Zheng. Now Qin Qing is acting out of character, probably because Song Zheng's previous trick of transforming into several women in a row made Qin Qing really angry. Although Qin Qing didn't show it on his face because of the "Taishang Wangqing Sutra", he would still vent his anger after Qin Qing lifted the "Taishang Wangqing Sutra". Now, Li Xuandu can only hope that even if his father-in-law can't kill Song Zheng, he will take this opportunity to teach Song Zheng an unforgettable lesson.

However, Li Xuandu is also a little worried. After all, Qin Qing was pierced through by Song Zheng's bow and arrow. Even if he can hurt Song Zheng, it's probably not completely unscathed, but both sides will be injured. The only difference is who is more seriously injured.

But at this time, Li Xuandu could not catch up with the two immortals. He had been entangled with Song Zheng for a long time before, which not only consumed his energy, but also exhausted his mental energy, making him feel tired for the first time in a long time.

At this time, the palace official came to Li Xuandu and asked softly: "Are you okay?"

Li Xuandu shook his head, "I'm fine, just a little tired, I'll be fine after a day of rest."

The palace official asked: "Then do you still want to go to Tangjiabao?"

Li Xuandu said: "Now Song Zheng is not only busy with himself, but also has no time to split himself. The enemy is gone, Tangjiabao is no longer a problem, I am enough."

The palace official heard the hidden meaning of Li Xuandu's words and said sympathetically: "In that case, I won't accompany you. I have to stay in Baidi City to see if there are any clues. It would be best if I can find out the truth about Tang Zhou Where did you go? Give the Saint King an explanation. "

Li Xuandu nodded and said, "Song Zheng has reappeared and joined forces with the Earth Master. The Wudao Sect will inevitably cause trouble again. You are in the middle of the situation, so be careful."

The palace official smiled, "Is Zifu concerned about me?"

Li Xuandu glanced at her, "I care about the safety of every friend."

The palace official did not hide his disappointment, "Friends."

Li Xuandu said, "Yes, friends."

After that, Li Xuandu bowed and said, "See you in the future."

The palace official performed a woman's blessing and said, "Take care of yourself."

Li Xuandu turned and left.

The palace official stood in place, watching Li Xuandu go away, until Li Xuandu's figure completely disappeared, and then he retracted his sight.

After Li Xuandu left Baidi City, he first sent out a flying sword letter that he had prepared long ago, and then no longer deliberately concealed his tracks as before, and flew directly to the direction of Tiancang Mountain.

…

After Li Xuandu left Longmen Mansion for Shuzhou, others also left Longmen Mansion one after another. Qin Qing and Qin Su went to the South China Sea with Bai Xiushang. Li Daoxu led Situ Xuance and others back to the East China Sea. Zhang Jingxiu did not return to Shangqing Mansion in Wuzhou, but went to the first blessed land, Zhongnan Mountain, which was his retreat place and the location of the Taoist mountain gate deputy capital determined by several masters.

Since the Taoist sect is unified, there must be a mountain gate. All the big and small gangs in the rivers and lakes pay attention to a headquarters and branches. The illustrious Taoist sect cannot have no "headquarters". After several discussions, the three masters thought that Zhongnan Mountain had an excellent location and was the first of the 72 blessed places. The so-called "Longevity as Long as Nanshan" refers to Zhongnan Mountain. Zhang Jingxiu had already operated here, and it was the most suitable place for the Taoist mountain gate.

As for why it is the "sub-capital", it is because the real "heavenly capital" of Taoism is undoubtedly Kunlun Yuxu, but Yuxu Peak is far away from the Central Plains, and Xuandu Zifu appears and disappears from time to time, so it is temporarily set as Zhongnan Mountain.

Zhongnan Mountain, also known as Difei Mountain, has Taiyi Palace built on it. Zhang Jingxiu went there to renovate Taiyi Palace and expand it so that it can truly match the status of Taoism. In the future, although the people of Taoism live in different places, if something big happens, they will gather in Zhongnan Mountain, instead of holding a grand ceremony on the territory of Confucianism like today.

When the expansion of Taiyi Palace on Zhongnan Mountain is completed, it will be like Taoism raising its flag again to compete with Confucianism.

Generally speaking, the people in the Taoist sect were divided into three groups, and they followed the three great masters separately. Only Li Feiyan did not follow her senior brother Li Daoxu back to the East China Sea, nor did she go to Mount Zhongnan to join in the fun, nor would she go to the South China Sea. After bidding farewell to Qin Su, she took Long Er from Zhongzhou to Jingzhou, and then took the water route to Xiaozhou.

Xiaozhou is not too far from Shuzhou. If Li Xuandu has something to do, she can rush there immediately. At the same time, she can also go to Xuannv Sect. Speaking of which, she and Xiao Shiyu also had a friendship in the past. After all, the circle of the top Jianghu is so small, and there are even fewer women. Most of the women of the same generation know each other, and have some friendships, whether shallow or deep. In fact, it is still the same for Qin Su and others. Qin Su had known Lu Yanbing long before she met Li Xuandu, and also had friendships with Yu Qingning and others.

Xuannv Sect has two mountain gates, which are called the upper and lower sects by Xuannv Sect disciples. The upper sect is Yunu Mountain, located in Hengyang Prefecture, and the lower sect is Xuannv Mountain, located on an island in Yunmengze. Shi Wuyue was imprisoned here in the past.

Li Feiyan first went to Xuannu Mountain and found that Xiao Shiyu and Shi Wuyue were not there. It was probably because she was afraid of recalling the sad past, so Li Feiyan turned to the Emperor's Peak of Yunu Mountain in Hengyang Prefecture and met Shi Wuyue and Xiao Shiyu.

Now Shi Wuyue has resumed her identity as the Nishang Envoy of Xuannu Sect, but she did not assign her two disciples to Xuannu Sect. She still planned to leave another Taoist lineage. The Taoist lineage of Xuannu Sect is the ability of the ancestors of all generations. Naturally, Xiao Shiyu is responsible for the inheritance. It doesn't matter whether she has disciples or not. But her other learning is not good to be lost, nor to be passed on to the disciples of Xuannu Sect. After all, many of them are inconsistent with the purpose of Xuannu Sect, so she decided to establish another Taoist lineage. In the future, it can be independent like Fenglei Sect and Lingxiu Mountain Villa, or it can be assigned to the new sect that Li Xuandu may establish.

When Li Feiyan came to Emperor's Peak, she saw Shi Wuyue who was doing nothing. Taiping Mountain is the hub of Taiping Inn. When Shi Wuyue was in Taiping Mountain, she could still handle the affairs of Taiping Inn, but after returning to Xuannv Sect, she had no way to deal with it. In addition, she had been away from the sect for many years, most of the elders in the sect had passed away, and the new disciples did not know her. She had no intention of interfering in the internal affairs of Xuannv Sect, so she was naturally bored.

After Li Feiyan met Xiao Shiyu, Shi Wuyue invited Li Feiyan to his residence. The two sat down on the stone table in the courtyard. Because they were not in front of others and Li Feiyan was his good sister, Shi Wuyue did not behave properly. She put her chin on the stone table and murmured, "I really shouldn't have come back. This place is like a nunnery. It is even more pure and unselfish than the Cihang Sect."

Li Feiyan smiled and asked, "Where is Ning Yi?"

Shi Wuyue rolled his eyes and said, "She went back to the Taiping Sect. He said that the inn cannot be left without a master for a day. Since the head shopkeeper is not here, he has to take charge."

Li Feiyan said, "Ning Gechen is indeed a reliable person who can be trusted."

Shi Wuyue raised his head suddenly, angrily "Yes, in his eyes, Li Zifu is much more important than me."

Li Feiyan patted the back of her hand and comforted her, "Just get used to it. After you get married, you will understand what it means to be out of sight and out of mind."

Shi Wuyue rolled her eyes at her, "You are married, but what is the difference between you and not married? I would be crazy to believe your lies."

"Isn't it good to be free?" Li Feiyan said, "Besides, aren't you crazy?"

Shi Wuyue put his chin back again, "If you don't share the same path, you can't make plans with him. Go find Tan Taiyun, maybe you two can talk to each other."

Long'er, who had been sitting quietly next to her, suddenly made a "Yaa" sound.

Li Feiyan looked at Long'er and asked with a smile, "Long'er, do you think what your aunt said is right?"

Long'er stretched out his hand and patted the table, meaning unclear.

At this moment, a flash of light flashed in the sky, and a flying sword letter appeared in front of Li Feiyan.

Li Feiyan opened the letter and browsed it quickly.

Shi Wuyue also became alert and asked, "Whose letter is it? Is it from Zifu?"

"Yes." Li Feiyan nodded, "Zifu said that Song Zheng's troubles have been temporarily resolved. He asked me to go to Miaozhen Sect in Shuzhou to meet him. I can't stay for long. I'm afraid I have to leave now."

Shi Wuyue looked at her, "Then I'll go with you."

Li Feiyan shook her head, "That won't work. Do you remember Tang Wan? I'm going to see her."

Shi Wuyue was immediately deflated, "Since it's her, then I won't go."

Li Feiyan hesitated, "I have something to entrust you with. It's inconvenient to take Long'er with me to Shuzhou. I have to entrust her to you."

Before Shi Wuyue could speak, Long'er had already grabbed Li Feiyan's sleeve tightly and kept shaking her head.

Shi Wuyue was also a carefree person, and said, "What are you afraid of? Since Song Zheng is no longer a problem, can't you and Zifu protect a little girl? It's a good opportunity to let her see the world."

Li Feiyan glanced at Long'er, pondered for a moment, and said, "Well, I'll take her with me."
