Taiping Inn

Li Xuandu likes open plots, which does not mean that he rejects plots. He just doesn't like to act blindly like the geomancer. The art of war says that you can win by combining the right and the strange, and you need to combine the right and the strange. In terms of strategy, Li Xuandu is not a person who does not know how to adapt. Since Murong Hua can come up with a feasible plan, he will also follow her advice.

As for morality and credibility, Li Xuandu particularly emphasized that he should strike back after being attacked, and the reason is also very clear. Only when the Confucian sect is unkind first, he will be unjust later. If the Confucian sect does not have any crooked ideas, he will not use this method to calculate the Confucian sect.

In the next few days, the shopkeeper and the servants began to get busy. Li Xuandu also wrote a letter to Madam Leng and asked Shangguan Wan to take the letter to see Madam Leng. Madam Leng agreed very happily without any excuses.

As for the last position of Taiping Inn, Li Xuandu finally decided to give it to Lan Xuanshuang. The reason is simple, Lan Xuanshuang's realm is high enough. The main duties of the cook are punishment and killing, and the most needed is realm cultivation.

In this way, the main staff of the inn is determined. The only thing that makes Li Xuandu most helpless is that there are too many women and too few men. There are only three men, Li Xuandu, Ning Yi, and Li Rushi, while there are nine women, Qin Su, Yao Xianglian, Shangguan Wan, Lu Yanbing, Li Feiyan, Shi Wuyue, Murong Hua, Lan Xuanshuang, and Lu Shiying. The number of women is three times that of men. If you don’t know, you will think that Li Xuandu is hiding a mistress in the Taiping Inn.

Li Xuandu can only sigh that maybe the Taoist sect is not like the Confucian sect to restrain women with etiquette, and is more tolerant and open-minded, so the outstanding women all ran to the Taoist sect.

In fact, there are many men standing on Li Xuandu’s side, such as Zhang Luanshan, Yan Feiqing, Hu Liang, Zhang Haishi, Ji Shuye and others, but most of these people have important positions and cannot split themselves, and have no energy to join the inn. Although Qin Su, Lan Xuanshuang, and Shangguan Wan are also the leaders of a sect, Qin Su has always been a hands-off manager. Zaoge Sect and Yinyang Sect are almost destroyed, and cannot be compared with Qingwei Sect and Zhengyi Sect, nor can they be said to have heavy affairs. Li Feiyan and Shi Wuyue both have a problem. Because they once had a disagreement with the old sect leader, they all have empty names but little real power, and their symbolic significance is greater than their actual positions. In Qingwei Sect and Xuannv Sect, the ones who really take on the heavy responsibilities are Zhang Haishi and Yu Qingning.

Because of this, Su Yun'an and Yu Qingning, who also hold important positions, did not receive an invitation from Li Xuandu.

The only exception is Lu Yanbing, who has just taken up the position of the head of Tiangang Hall. In fact, she has a heavy responsibility and is not within Li Xuandu's consideration. Later, Li Xuandu changed his mind because he listened to Qin Su's opinion. Qin Su was very optimistic about Situ Qiushui, but she thought that Lu Yanbing was not suitable for the position of Tiangang Hall, but more suitable for Tianji Hall or deputy master. It would be better to let Situ Qiushui gain experience while Lu Yanbing was away.

Considering that he was already the master of a hall when Situ Qiushui was the same age, Li Xuandu agreed to let Lu Yanbing stay in the imperial capital, and let the deputy master Li Rujian temporarily take on the duties of the hall master, and Situ Qiushui take on some of the duties of the deputy master, which was considered as experience. Li Xuandu specifically asked Zhang Haishi and Lu Yanbing for their opinions, and neither of them objected. Li Daoxu would not care about such trivial matters.

Lu Yanbing was ambitious. She was not satisfied with the position of a hall master and wanted to go further. There were two paths in front of her. One path was to work diligently for more than ten years of qualifications, and maybe she could go further. The other path was to follow the senior brother and be a "dragon follower", and take advantage of the wind to rise to the sky in one step. With Lu Yanbing's personality, it was already obvious which way to choose, so she was not dissatisfied with Li Xuandu's decision.

A few days later, Li Xuandu left the Imperial Capital alone and visited Yuying Temple.

In any case, Wu Xian's identity was very unusual. It would be disrespectful to just let Qin Su meet him for a detailed discussion, so Li Xuandu still had to visit him in person.

Because it had just snowed, the mountain road was very difficult to walk on. There was no pedestrian, it was very quiet, and there was only a vast expanse of snow. This made Li Xuandu have a rare interest in climbing, and he decided to walk to Yuying Temple.

After reaching the top, this royal Taoist temple looked like a graceful lady in a white cloak, lying lazily on the chaise longue, closing her eyes and taking a nap.

The gate of the Taoist temple was closed, and no one was seen.

Since Li Xuandu had come here step by step, and there were only a few steps left, he wanted to be consistent and did not want to escape directly into the Taoist temple, so he stepped forward and stretched out his hand to knock on the door.

After a long time, someone opened the door, but it was a middle-aged Taoist nun. Seeing Li Xuandu, she was stunned.

Because Li Xuandu had an extraordinary demeanor and was well-dressed, the middle-aged Taoist nun did not dare to be arrogant and neglectful, and asked Li Xuandu's identity and purpose in a soft voice.

Li Xuandu answered one by one. Of course, he would not say that he was the famous or notorious Mr. Qingping, and hurriedly opened the middle door to welcome him, but pretended to be a name, and was entrusted by the Qixia County Lord to visit the Yao family's young lady Xianglian who became a nun here.

The middle-aged Taoist nun had heard of this Qixia County Lord, who was good friends with the Xuanzhen Princess, and the two called each other sisters. Moreover, the Yao family's young lady became a disciple, and it was also the Qixia County Lord who made the connection, which obviously had some relationship with the Yao family's young lady. Hearing Li Xuandu's words, the middle-aged nun believed it and invited Li Xuandu in, and asked someone to notify Yao Xianglian.

Li Xuandu was arranged in a side hall used for meeting guests. Not far away was the place where the nuns did their homework. Li Xuandu took a casual look and found that several young nuns had the aura of officials' daughters, and it seemed that they all had stories.

Li Xuandu retracted his gaze and sat down to wait. A young nun brought him tea, and he nodded to thank her.

After a while, Yao Xianglian came over under the leadership of the middle-aged Taoist nun. The middle-aged Taoist nun did not disturb the two of them, and then retreated.

Li Xuan looked up and down at Yao Xianglian. Now Yao Xianglian is dressed as a Taoist nun. Her Taoist bun is high and she can't be said to be a thorn hairpin and a cloth skirt. She has also removed all the jewelry and is very clean. Then Li Xuandu found that there were some dust marks on her hands, a few silk chips were stained on her shoes, and there were even faint creases on her cuffs. He couldn't help but ask, "Do you still need to work on here?"

Yao Xianglian was stunned and replied subconsciously: "The police asked me to chop firewood, saying it was to polish my mind."

Li Xuan nodded. Yao Xianglian in front of him obviously didn't recognize him, so that was not Wu Xian. It seems that Miss Yao's life is a bit hard, but being able to temper her temperament and endure some hardship is also a good thing, and she can make her A long memory.

At this time, Yao Xianglian also came to her senses and asked carefully: "Who are you?"

Li Xuandu smiled faintly: "My surname is Li, and my name is Xuandu. It is the fiancé of Miss Qin who came to see you a few days ago."

Hearing the word "fiance", Yao Xianglian couldn't help but her eyes turned red and she almost burst into tears. If she hadn't been so arrogant, she wouldn't have ended up in such a place now, and she might have been married. She has become a Taoist nun now, and I am afraid there will be no more day when she has a phoenix crown and a red robe.

Li Xuan couldn't guess Yao Xianglian's thoughts. Seeing her jealousy, she couldn't help but be stunned and wondered to herself that she had never had any interaction with this Miss Yao, so why did she feel as if she had let her down?

At this moment, Yao Xianglian's eyes suddenly changed, she no longer felt sad, and she reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, which had returned to normal.

Li Xuandu stood up and said, "Great Wizard."

Wu Xian didn't politely and asked, "Have you finished your business?"

Li Xuandu said "hmm" and said, "I wonder if the great wizard has any objection to Mrs. Lan as her deputy?"

"I have seen her in Netherworld Valley. She has good methods and I have no objection." Wu Xian shook his head and said, "You came here specifically today, probably because of this, right?"

Li Xuan did not deny: "The great wizard is profound and I do have something to ask the great wizard."

Wu Xian said, "Ask."

Li Xuandu knew that Wu Xian didn't like to circle around, so he simply asked straight to the point and directly said, "I want to know what level of cultivation level the great wizard has after the battle of 'Lighting Day'? Can he still borrow power from his original body?"

"I guess you want to ask this too." Wu Xian looked at Li Xuandu, not surprised, and his tone of speaking was still in a strong style of Yao Xianglian. "Let's talk about cultivation first, or divide it according to your realm. I am indeed It cannot be considered a complete immortality, but it must be higher than your realm of heaven and man. It is just half an immortality, because most of my cultivation is left to that monster. The reason why I was able to stop Dan Tai Yun at the beginning was Because the seal had not been broken at that time and then you heard Zhang Luxu's words. Zhang Luxu and I were both empty-handed. Actually, I was better, at least I had freedom, and Zhang Luxu really became empty."

Li Xuan was a little disappointed when he heard this answer, but he was also expected. As for half of the immortality, others may not have similar experiences. He has had it, that is, he was resurrected by Wu Yang with the medicine of immortality and had not yet experienced the "world chess game".

Wu Xian paused for a moment and continued, "As for whether I can still borrow the power of the body, it is actually OK, but I can't borrow too much. If you want me to help you deal with Dan Tai Yun, I can only say that I can't do it. But if you ask me to deal with opponents like Qin Su and Lan Xuanshuang, I am still confident."

Li Xuandu nodded and asked again, "What if I fight with other immortals?"

Wu Xian replied with great certainty: "If you were most of the pressure on the front, then there would be no problem for me to attack or assist from the side."

Li Xuan has already roughly understood Wu Xian's strength, just like a surprise soldier, placed on the front battlefield, and is not very useful, but can be used to win surprises. In other words, Wu Xian was unable to withstand the attack of a immortal person head-on due to Yao Xianglian's physique and was about to collapse, but her various means could affect or even hurt the immortal person, far better than ordinary people. The great master of the realm of creation of heaven and man.

After understanding this, Li Xuan felt much more at ease and said, "Maybe in a short while, I will ask Mrs. Lan to meet the great wizard."

Wu Xian smiled and said, "Yes, but I need some compensation."

Li Xuandu asked, "What kind of reward? It's not a soul, right?"

Wu Xian shook his head and said, "I don't want that. I just want the medicinal properties of the immortal medicine in your body. There is no need to be too much, just a little."

Li Xuan was stunned, and then he understood why Wu Xian was so easy to talk to.
