Taiping Inn

After Ji Shuye left, Li Xuandu began to try to infuse the orb in his hand with Qi, and then he immediately discovered the mystery.

This small orb is actually a tiny cave, just like the talismans written by the ancestor Tianshi on the two "punishment pillars". Such a cave is very small, so small that it is difficult to accommodate living people, and can only be entered by divine thoughts.

What's more mysterious is that this small cave is actually not completed, or it has been in a state of continuous collapse. Whenever it collapses to a certain extent, the trend of collapse will stop immediately, making it always in a "broken" state. It is also very simple to play the role of this orb, that is, to complete this tiny cave in a state of continuous collapse, so that it can remain intact for a certain period of time, and it can become the key to enter the cave of the Demon Locking Tower. Because only the Changsheng Realm has the ability to open up the cave, so this orb can only be used by the Changsheng Realm. From this, it can be seen how brilliant the idea of ​​the founder of the Miaozhen Sect is.

After Li Xuandu completed the cave, a faint light shone from the orb, enveloping Li Xuandu and Shangguan Wan.

Li Xuandu held the orb in his hand, and the orb hung on the palm of Li Xuandu, flickering. Li Xuandu said to Shangguan Wan, "Don't stay too far away from me."

In terms of age, Shangguan Wan is older than Li Xuandu and has rich experience in the martial arts world. Previously, she was distracted and her soul was shocked, which made her lose her way. Now she has gradually regained her sanity and naturally understood what Li Xuandu meant.

Shangguan Wan stood beside Li Xuandu, and the two were almost shoulder to shoulder. Then Shangguan Wan held her breath and concentrated, feeling a little nervous. Of course, it was not because it was the first time she was so close to Li Xuandu, but because she was about to enter a cage.

The next moment, rolling sand and dust appeared in front of her eyes, and countless gravel was swept by the wind and whistled past, hitting her face, continuously. Smile

Although Shangguan Wan had expected and guessed, she couldn't help but be surprised at this moment. She used her majestic Qi to form a three-foot-thick Qi wall in front of her, blocking the surging wind and sand.

Then she looked around, as if her eyes directly penetrated the barrier of the wind and sand and looked into the distance. If she guessed correctly, she had entered the cave of the Demon Locking Tower at this time, and should still be on the first floor.

Suddenly, a little bit of Yin Fire appeared in the wind and sand, gathered together, and then condensed into a human shape, which was Li Xuandu. Then Li Xuandu waved his robe sleeves, and the wind and sand in the sky suddenly stopped, which was very abrupt.

Li Xuandu said: "At this place, there is no one to go up to, no one to go down to, we can talk about something deeper."

Shangguan Wan's heart tightened, and he said softly: "Mr. Qingping, just speak frankly."

Li Xuandu said: "Then I will speak frankly. Since you have come here, you have only two results. One result is that you survive safely, and the other result is that you can only wait for death and have no other way to go. Then I can also make my conditions clear. In addition to the Taiping Sect, I also have a part of the direct lineage, which is divided into six divisions and four levels."

Shangguan Wan immediately understood what Li Xuandu meant and said: "Mr. Qingping wants me to join it?"

Li Xuandu said: "With your realm and cultivation, you are enough to serve as the leader of a division, but because you have no merit, it is not easy to directly occupy a high position. I hope you can understand this."

Shangguan Wan can now confirm a previous guess. Li Xuandu has been secretly developing his own power during this period. As Li Xuandu rises step by step, this power directly under Li Xuandu is becoming more and more not to be underestimated.

But this is understandable. Li Xuandu has great ambitions. He cannot realize his ideals or ambitions alone. He must cultivate his own confidants.

"Not long ago, I was an enemy of Mr. Qingping. It is understandable that Mr. Qingping is on guard against me. I understand." Shangguan Wan said, "But I would like to ask Mr. Qingping to explain to me what the six departments and four levels are?"

Li Xuandu said: "The organization is called "inn". The six departments, as the name suggests, are similar to the six departments of the court. Each department has its own duties, which are respectively called "owner", "shopkeeper", "waiter", "cook", "accountant" and "miscellaneous servants". Each of the six departments has a chief. The staff under the six masters are collectively called "handlers", and are divided into four levels, namely "Tian", "Di", "Xuan", and "Huang". "

Shangguan Wan nodded and asked: "What is your identity?"

Li Xuandu said: "I am also among the six masters, the master of the "shopkeeper". You will be listed under my name, Tianzi Handler, you won't feel wronged, right?"

Shangguan Wan smiled faintly, "I don't care about these false names."

Li Xuandu said: "That's good. "

Shangguan Wan said, "I have followed my master for many years and understand one thing. A high position may not be weighty, and a low position may not be powerless. The Sili Supervisor and the supervisors in the palace have one eunuch, and one left and right "seven supervisors". Each department has one "Secretary Chief" and each bureau has one "ambassador". Later, the organization will be expanded, and each supervisor will be divided into "Ephesus in charge of seals". The head of the Sili Supervisor is the "Ephesus in charge of seals" and has several "Ephesus in Bingbi" under it. The Chief Bingbing The pen is in charge of Qingluanwei, and each pen is in charge of each supervisor and department. Because the ritual supervisor is in charge of emperor documents, seals, palace etiquette and other businesses, it has been promoted to the top of the 12 supervisors and has become the most powerful institution in the inner court. Although the eunuch in charge of seals is only at the third rank of the outer court, his power can sometimes be compared with the chief minister of the cabinet, and he is known as the "power is better than Yuanfu". Without the name of the inner court, he has the reality of the inner court. Both the inner court and the outer court are Correspondingly, the Silijian corresponds to the cabinet and the censor, the eunuch in charge of seals is comparable to the chief assistant, the chief executive takes the same position as the assistant, and the Qingluan Guard who holds the power and importance of the Zuodu Censor. "

Li Xuandu heard Shangguan Wan speak so frankly, but he did not refute because Shangguan Wan was telling the truth. Because when Li Xuandu first formed the inn, he had just entered the Heavenly Realm and was not much better than Li Feiyan, Shi Wuyue, Ning Yi and others, so he implemented an ally system similar to the Qingping Society. , the six people were equal, led by Li Xuandu. However, as Li Xuandu entered the immortal realm, this balance has been broken. Although the six people are still on par in name, in fact, they have become the only one in Li Xuandu. In other words, whether Li Xuandu is willing or not, he is already above the entire inn. The other five in charge are equivalent to Li Xuandu's subordinates. Then, the Tian who directly obeys Li Xuandu's orders under Li Xuandu's name. The guys with font sizes have also been promoted to the same level as the other leaders, similar to the third-level meaning of Beijing officials.

Shangguan Wan is worthy of being a disciple taught by the Earth Master himself, and can see through the truth at a glance. Shangguan Wan asked, "I'll ask you, what are the Tianzi guys under my command?"

Li Xuandu said: "Except for the two younger generations, most of them are your acquaintances, such as Xu Da."

Shangguan Wan immediately understood, "It turned out to be them."

Although the disciples of the King of Qi and the Yin-Yang Sect are not subordinate to each other and rarely have any intersections, they are all loyal to the Lord after all, and there is still a necessary understanding.

In fact, Li Xuan didn't finish his words. After Xu Da wrote to him, he had almost no hesitation and immediately agreed to Shangguan Wan's request to come to Jian Xiushan because he saw the point of breaking the deadlock. The reason why he spared no effort to help Shangguan Wan was because Shangguan Wan's identity was extremely important, especially the identity of a direct disciple of the local master, which made Li Xuan have many ideas.

Li Xuandu not only arranged for Shangguan Wan the identity of Taiping Inn, but also the identity of Qingpinghui. In addition to the inn and individual exceptions, there is a very clear standard for those who can enter the Qingping Society, which is that they can represent a sect, and at least they can have a certain influence within the sect. For example, Su Yunxian, as the next sect leader of Cihang Sect, represents Cihang Sect; Mrs. Lu, as the widow of Mr. Shen Da and the arm support of Li Xuandu, represents Taiping Sect. There are also Bai Meiniang representing Tianle Sect, Zhang Haishi represents Qingwei Sect, Lan Xuanshuang represents Zaoge Sect, Palace officials used to represent the Pinniao Sect, and now they represent the Wudao Sect, and even Yan Feiqing and Zhang Luanshan as imagined by Li Xuan. Represents the official school and so on.

Shangguan Wan entered the Qingping Association to represent the Yin-Yang Sect.

Li Xuan can support Lan Xuanshuang to re-establish Zaoge Sect, so he can also support Shangguan Guan and Wan to re-establish Yin and Yang Sect. It is not necessary to reach the height of the past. The key is the status. Although Li Xuandu is called the successor of the Earth Master, Li Xuandu understands that this title is not reliable. Li Xuandu himself is unwilling to admit it, and many others also agree. But Shangguan Wan is different. The fact that she is a disciple of the earth is recognized throughout the world, especially after Zhao Chunxiao's death, no one is more legitimate than her. In the past, Shangguan Wan followed Song Zheng and Wang Tianxiao, which made Li Xuan unable to understand the Taoist tradition of Yin and Yang Sect. Starting, Shangguan Wan is now taking the initiative to surrender, how can Li Xuan let it go?

Because of this, Li Xuan had to save Shangguan Wan. That is, Shangguan Wan was in a mess because she was influenced by Song Zheng. If she calmed down and thought about it carefully, she would find that Li Xuan would definitely not be willing to die, so there would be room for bargaining, unlike now. Sell ​​yourself directly.

However, it does not mean that Shangguan Wan is just a fool. She was in a hurry and was able to make a judgment that only Li Xuan could save her, and it was also very good to come to see Li Xuandu directly. It can only be said that the mental trance caused by the ghost immortal's body seized greatly affected her mind.

Li Xuan would not take the initiative to mention these plans to Shangguan Wan. After all, as Shangguan Wan himself said, the two were enemies not long ago. Even if Shangguan Wan was forced to surrender to Li Xuandu, Li Xuandu would still follow the steps and observe slowly Shangguan Wan, do you still have two intentions?

But Li Xuan underestimated Shangguan Wan a little. After Shangguan Wan lowered her head and thought for a moment, she suddenly asked, "Can I be the second Mrs. Lan?"

Li Xuandu was slightly stunned at first, then smiled and said, "It depends on your sincerity. I can give it to you as much as the Earth Master can give it to you."
