Taiping Inn

In Shuzhou, there are tens of millions of bamboo forests like the sea. When the spring breeze passes, the bamboo sea sways with the wind, like thousands of green waves. If it is summer, the bamboo sea will be as cool as early autumn, and there will be no heat at all. But now it’s still spring, and the bamboo sea is a little cold. This bamboo sea belongs to Miaozhen Sect, because the bamboo forest is evergreen all year round, and the peaks of Tiancang Mountain are surrounded by it, like a city, also known as "Qingcheng".

At this time, there was a man practicing sword in the bamboo forest, but it was a middle-aged man with a haggard face, wearing a blue dress, his hair was simply tied up by a wooden hairpin, and an ordinary long pine wind sword in his hand was swung away at will. I don’t know how many bamboos were cut in half, countless bamboo leaves fell down, and turned into sharp weapons with the sword wind. If anyone dared to approach rashly, he would immediately be injured under these bamboo leaves.

Not far away, there were several people standing, watching the man practicing sword.

In the world, it is a taboo to secretly learn martial arts of other sects. If you are caught, you will be abandoned in your practice at the least, and your life will be lost. Therefore, if you can watch others practice swords in such a noble way, you will probably be your classmates.

However, this rule is not absolute. If the person who learns secretly has a deep background or has a profound cultivation level, others will not be able to do anything. As long as the person who learns secretly only practices alone and does not spread it again, there will be no big fight. Li Xuandu belongs to the latter situation, and Li Xuandu's situation is quite special. Many of his skills are obtained from enemies, which is another confusing account. If Li Xuan was just an unknown man, he would have to make sure that he had to make a clear calculation, but Li Xuan made a comeback in a very short period of time and became an important person in the world. Then he would have been confused and the sect involved would not mention it anymore. After all, Taiping Sect is willing to give up the Taoist throne, so what are the secret books of other sects?

As for big people who are taller than Li Xuan, there is no secret learning. What they want to learn is mostly exchange, and ordinary people will not refuse. Li Daoxu once exchanged the essence of sword techniques with Taiwei Zhenren of Donghua Sect and Wanshou Zhenren of Miaozhen Sect. Zhang Jingxiu also borrowed part of the "Cihang Pudu Sword Classic" of Cihang Sect and added some of the "Five Thunders" The Dharma of Heavenly Heart” was taught in Bai Xiuchang.

A moment later, the middle-aged man stopped his sword and said, "This set of 'Xunfeng Sword Art' was originally from the Qingwei Sect. When the Great Sword Immortal came to Sichuan to visit his master and discussed swords with his master, the two sides exchanged skills. The Great Sword Immortal left this set of "Xunfeng Sword Art". This set of sword art emphasizes the word "fast". As long as it is fast to the extreme, any flaw will be hidden, and it is not even a flaw, because others cannot go there. Target your flaws. Now in the Qingwei Sect, several sword masters have their own strengths. Needless to say, the Great Sword Immortal is the best sword master in the world. Mr. Haishi uses a sword and pays attention to one's The word "State" is like a wave surging, and the waves surging on the shore. Its momentum is very large and continuous. Mrs. Xiao Li uses a sword and focuses on the word "attack". The word "attack" is extremely killing, and attacks instead of defense. Master Li used a sword to lie in the word "mian". The needles hidden in the cotton are like a ox hair, like a spring rain, like a breeze blowing on his face, and it is everywhere. Mr. Yuanying's sword is a "fast" that fits the "Xunfeng Sword Art" The word "is the fastest sword in the world."

After the man finished speaking, a pretty girl immediately asked, "Master, you haven't mentioned Mr. Qingping and Li Xiaojianxian yet."

After hearing this, the man sighed, "Although the master has not gone to Longmen Mansion this time, I heard from your master that Mr. Qingping's swordsmanship is probably chasing the Great Sword Immortal, and Mr. Haishi and the Bai Sect Master of Cihang Sect It is only between the two, and Mr. Qingping has made a different path and integrated various schools. He has gradually left the scope of the Qingwei Sect. He is a unique family. As for the little sword immortal, he is extremely talented and rare in the world. I am afraid that Only the saint Dan Taiyun of the past is comparable, but because of his good qualifications and strong spirit, he is inevitably impetuous and disdainful of being down-to-earth and following steps. He always wants to reach the sky in one step, and inevitably falls into the wrong path of taking tricks. In fact, the devil was back then. Dao'Why isn't Song Zheng the same? He was defeated by the Great Sword Immortal, which made him feel embarrassed for nearly twenty years."

Several disciples were surprised. Although their master rarely left the mountain gate in recent years, he was very familiar with the world. He mentioned many famous figures, and often mentioned and commented on them. Therefore, time After a long time, they became accustomed to it.

The man continued, "Of course, the path chosen by Song Zheng and others may not be successful. But in the end, it is just a word 'gamble'. This word is not nice, but there are no other more appropriate words to replace or describe. In this case, I bet my own wealth and life, and I won the bet, and I got to the top of the sky, lost the bet, and I lost the bet. When Song Zheng lost the bet, he couldn't care about the position of the Holy Lord, the foundation of the Wudao Zong, and the plan of the world. It was as anxious as a dog that lost his family. But what if he won the bet? Today, I’m afraid it will be another situation.”

The pretty woman smiled and said, "But no matter what, this 'Demon Sword' is a master of time."

"There are talented people in the world." The man did not refute, "No matter who died, we only talk about living people, so the deceased great gentleman Situ Xuance and others will not mention them. I will divide these people into Three generations of old, middle and young.”

“Among the older generation, the Great Sword Immortal is undoubtedly the leader. He was originally a poor scholar, married into the Li family of Donghai, and led the Qingwei Sect, which was originally only a second-rate sect, to compete with the Zhengyi Sect and become half of the righteous path. As for why I admire the Great Sword Immortal, but not the Earth Master and the Great Heavenly Master, it is because the latter two are of extraordinary origin. The descendant of the saint, the Duke of Yansheng, once said: ‘There are only three families in the world: my family, Shangqing Zhang, and Zhongli Xu. Shangqing Zhang, the Taoist spirit; Zhongli Xu, the upstarts Family, small family. 'Shangqing Zhang is the Zhengzhang family that has lived in Shangqing Mansion in Wuzhou for generations, and Zhongli Xu is the Tianjia Xu family that started in Zhongli Mansion in Luzhou. The Great Heavenly Master was born in Shangqing Zhang, the Earth Master was born in Zhongli Xu, and although the Great Sword Immortal was born in a Confucian family, he was not born in the mansion of a saint, so I said that these two started higher than the Great Sword Immortal. "

"Among the middle-aged people, Song Zheng is the first. No matter what, Song Zheng, as a commoner, has become one of the most powerful people in the world. Almost occupying half of the country, he is not worthy of the word "hero", but he is worthy of the word "hero". In comparison, Qin Qing, who was born in a noble family, has achieved as much as Song Zheng, but he is slightly inferior to Song Zheng because he has taken advantage of his family background. As for the Saint Lord Tan Taiyun, he has also taken a step forward on the basis of Song Zheng, which is equivalent to walking on the path of his predecessors, and it is not easy to compare with Song Zheng who has opened the way. "

"Then there is the younger generation, which is much inferior to the two generations above. Only Mr. Qingping can be mentioned. Compared with Song Zheng, Mr. Qingping Li Xuandu has done many great things when he was younger, but he has the help of his family background, which is not as good as Song Zheng who started from scratch, so it is a 50-50 number. "

As soon as the voice fell, a voice suddenly rang out, "Mr., I am ashamed to praise you."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, but saw a person standing on a bamboo branch. The bamboo branch was thinner than a little finger, but the person stood on it without shaking. This cultivation is at least in the realm of returning to the truth. Just thinking about what he just said, it is not as simple as returning to the true state.

Several disciples were a little surprised and doubtful, only the middle-aged man was not surprised or angry, staring at the visitor for a moment, and asked: "Is the visitor Mr. Qingping?"

The visitor was Li Xuandu. Although this bamboo forest belonged to Miaozhen Sect, because the bamboo sea was really vast, this part was already outside the mountain gate of Miaozhen Sect, so Li Xuandu could not be considered to have trespassed into Miaozhen Sect. He wanted to go directly to the mountain gate of Miaozhen Sect to visit Wanshou Zhenren, but when he passed by this place, he happened to hear someone commenting on the world's masters, so he stopped and listened quietly. Unexpectedly, he was mentioned, so he spoke.

Li Xuandu floated down from the bamboo branch and bowed his hands and said: "Li Xuandu of Huainan Prefecture, I come to visit you."

According to etiquette, you should be humble when introducing yourself, and you should not be arrogant and claim your official position, identity, or nickname, so usually it is your name and place of origin.

Because of this, people like to call famous people of the time by their surnames and hometowns. For example, Zhang Suqing is from Jiangling Prefecture, Jingzhou, so he is called "Zhang Jiangling"; Li Daoxu lives in Donghai, but his hometown is the same as everyone in the Li family, Qizhou Beihai Prefecture, so he is called "Li Beihai"; Qin Qing is from Chaoyang Prefecture, Youzhou, and Chaoyang Prefecture is also known as Dragon City, so Qin Qing is called "Qin Longcheng".

Li Xuandu's hometown is of course also Qizhou Beihai Prefecture where the Li family is located, but now he is the leader of the Taiping Sect, so it was changed to Luzhou Huainan Prefecture where the Taiping Sect is located. If someone wants to call him according to this habit in the future, and to distinguish him from Li Daoxu, he can be called "Li Huainan".

The middle-aged man's face became serious, and he clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Qingping has come. I am sorry for not welcoming you."

"I don't deserve it." Li Xuandu smiled, "May I ask who you are?"

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly, "I am Ji Shuye."

Li Xuandu was startled, and then said, "I was wondering who is so knowledgeable and knowledgeable. It turns out to be Yuan Zhenzi. I am so sorry."

"Yuan Zhenzi" is Ji Shuye's Taoist name. If he is conferred the title of a real person, he will be "Yuan Zhen Zhenren". Ji Shuye was a little surprised, "Mr. Qingping recognizes me?"

Li Xuandu said: "I have never met you, but I have heard of your name for a long time. We have known each other for a long time. You were as famous as Zhang Luanshan, the young master of Zhengyi Sect. I have known him and often heard him mention you. We have known each other for a long time."

This is not a lie by Li Xuandu, but a true fact. Although Li Xuandu is of a very senior generation, he is not very old. He is several decades younger than Zhang Haishi. After Situ Xuance and Song Zheng, there were many outstanding figures before him. Zhang Luanshan was one and Ji Shuye was another. It's just that these two people had a lot of bad luck. They had the hope to take charge of the sect, but they almost lost their reputation. In fact, Ji Shuye also took charge of the Miaozhen Sect for a short time. Wanshou Zhenren was ready to live in seclusion and enjoy his old age, but a major event happened, causing Ji Shuye to lose his position as the sect leader. Wanshou Zhenren had to come out again at the age of nearly ninety and take charge of the sect.

As for why Ji Shuye lost his position as the sect leader, Li Xuan had heard something vaguely about it, and it seemed to be because he violated the female precepts.
