Taiping Inn

After leaving Yuqing Garden, Li Xuandu went to Yuying Temple with Qin Su. If Yuqing Garden is a gathering place for people of the righteous path, then Yuying Temple is a place for people of the evil path. The two are located in the south and the north, separated by the imperial capital.

Yuying Temple is the Taoist temple of Grand Princess Xuanzhen. It covers a large area and there are not many Taoist nuns in it. It is not difficult to hide it from others.

The last time Li Xuandu came, he visited openly. This time, there were no such things. He entered directly through the "Yin Yang Gate".

The entire Yuying Temple can be roughly divided into two parts. The first half is the residence of many Taoist nuns. They also do their daily homework here. The second half, which is mainly the Yuzhen Hall, belongs to Grand Princess Xuanzhen alone. Without the permission of Grand Princess Xuanzhen, no one can enter. After Li Xuandu obtained the consent of Grand Princess Xuanzhen, he temporarily requisitioned this place.

Recently, Lan Xuanshuang has been living here, also dressed as a Taoist nun, claiming to be a good friend of Princess Xuanzhen. In fact, with Shangguan Wan's matchmaking, Lan Xuanshuang and Princess Xuanzhen do have a relationship. The Taoist nuns in Yuying Temple were a little surprised about this, but they didn't dare to ask too much.

Lan Xuanshuang is not good at worldly affairs, so she mainly practices in seclusion.

As the saying goes, the one who is close to the water gets the moon first. If Wu Xian wakes up, Lan Xuanshuang will ask Wu Xian for some cultivation methods. Although Wu Xian's realm is not as good as before, he is a former calamity earth immortal after all. His vision and knowledge are still there, which can always benefit Lan Xuanshuang.

From the realm of heaven and man to the realm of longevity, it is a slow accumulation process. People like Li Xuandu who ascend to heaven in one step are ultimately rare cases.

If Wu Xian fell asleep and Yao Xianglian woke up, Lan Xuanshuang would teach Yao Xianglian some Qi training methods as a senior master. Yao Xianglian, who was bored, was very obsessed with it, and the depression in her heart was almost swept away, and she became very close to Lan Xuanshuang.

Yuzhen Hall is the main hall where Princess Xuanzhen receives guests. Li Xuandu met Wu Xian again here and asked about the four bone staffs. After all, the four bone staffs were left by the four great witches and were taken away by the Confucian sect, so they must be guarded against.

Wu Xian replied, "Wu Gu and the others specially made these four bone staffs. They can kill me at my peak, so they are not ordinary things. According to your Taoist classification, they can be regarded as four semi-immortal objects, and together they can be regarded as one immortal object. Moreover, each bone staff contains a secret technique of Wu Cult, corresponding to the four great witches."

Li Xuandu immediately thought of the "Zhou Shu" taught to him by Wu Yang, and asked, "What kind of secret technique is it?"

Wu Xian recalled for a moment and said, "Wu Ji, Wu Gu, Wu Zhen, and Wu Luo correspond to the "illusion technique", "body technique", "soul technique", and "spiritual technique". Among them, the "illusion technique" and "body technique" are, as the name suggests, illusion techniques and methods of cultivating the body, the "soul technique" is the method of arresting the soul, and the "spiritual technique" is the technique of communicating with the spirit."

Li Xuandu's heart was a little heavy. The four bone staffs fell into the hands of Ziyan Mountain Man, which was not good news. Fortunately, Ziyan Mountain Man had only had the bone staffs for a short time, and there was not much time left for Ziyan Mountain Man.

At this moment, a waiter with a name of Di in the inn came to the outside of Yuzhen Hall from the side door of Yuying Temple with a face full of frost, and brought a message just received from Shuzhou.

Everyone present was the owner of the inn, so there was no need to be shy. Qin Su said directly: "We are all family members, just speak directly."

The waiter with a name of Di took out a secret letter as he was told and read: "On the twenty-fifth day of the winter month of the eighth year of Tianbao, Miaozhen Sect held a ceremony of enthronement in Qingcheng, Tiancang Mountain. Wanshou Zhenren passed the position of the sect master to his disciple Yuanzhen Zhenren Ji Shuye. The specific process was simple, and the step of "transmitting power" was directly omitted. Wanshou Zhenren held the sect master's token and asked: "Will you accept it?" Yuanzhen Zhenren replied: "I am willing to accept it." The Dharma protection ceremony was completed, and then the acceptance was accepted. Wanshou Zhenren then Asked: ‘The Miaozhen Sect was passed down to you, do you know whether you will accept it?’, Yuanzhen Zhenren replied: ‘I will lead all the disciples to accept it.’ Then Wanshou Zhenren read out the 136 sect rules, and Yuanzhen Zhenren bowed and said: ‘The sect rules of our sect are the precepts of Quanzhen Dao. Yuanzhen will lead the disciples of Miaozhen Sect to accept them today, and all the fellow disciples in the sect will supervise and uphold them.’ Wanshou Zhenren handed the sect token to Yuanzhen Zhenren. Thus, the enthronement ceremony came to an end, and everyone stood up to congratulate each other. The disciples of Miaozhen Sect came forward to pay homage to the new sect leader...”

“Okay.” Li Xuandu waved his hand, indicating that he didn’t need to read any more.

The waiter bowed slightly, and retreated to the side in silence.

Li Xuandu stood up from the chair, walked out of Yuzhen Hall, came to the corridor outside the hall, and looked at the side.

Qin Su also stood up and followed Li Xuandu out of Yuzhen Hall.

It snowed today, with a chill that seemed to penetrate into people’s bones. Snowflakes fell, and the whiteness seemed to fill the space between heaven and earth. Only some vague mountain outlines could be seen.

Li Xuandu looked at the snow curtain, letting the snowflakes be blown into the corridor by the breeze and stick to his body, and slowly said: "Master Wanshou has really started to prepare for his death."

Qin Su stood side by side with Li Xuandu, and whispered: "Miaozhen Sect has never mentioned this matter."

"They have a deep relationship with the old man, and they may have their own considerations." Li Xuandu said: "Besides, the Taoist sect has not yet been truly unified, and I am not the great master of the Taoist sect. It is a favor to tell me, and it is also a duty not to specially inform me, the leader of the Taiping Sect."

Qin Su sighed.

Li Xuandu reached out to pat the corridor column beside him: "Some things should be faster."

Qin Su knew in his heart that Li Xuan was talking about the unification of the Taoist sect, and he couldn't help but be silent.

It was too late at this time, and Li Xuandu and Qin Su simply stopped returning to the city and decided to stay here for a night.

The long night was long, and Li Xuan didn't want to waste it, nor did he disturb Qin Su and others, so he sat alone in the corridor to watch the snow, and then felt the feeling of watching the snow, and began to practice learning "Writeless Scroll" from Bai Xiuchang.

Although Li Xuan didn't need to disperse his cultivation, the exquisiteness of the "wordless scroll" was somewhat beyond Li Xuandu's expectations. The effect was immediate, which gave Li Xuandu's cultivation a little. The improvement is not much, but in terms of the size of the immortal realm, it is already very terrifying, enough to make the free and easy realm of heaven and man enter the infinite realm of heaven and man.

While improving his cultivation, Li Xuan also made him wander outside the sky again.

In a daze, it seemed as if I was standing alone in the vast and vast land, without seeing all things in the world, and without seeing all living beings. Suddenly, it seemed to be splitting and the clear air rose, the turbid air fell, the sky was clear and the earth was bright.

Li Xuandu came to Zixiao Palace again.

...

I don’t know how long it took, but Li Xuan gradually felt a warm feeling lingering on his body. He slowly opened his eyes. What caught his eye was a copper furnace, and the furnace was about inch long silver charcoal burning, burning At that time, the red color was filled with green, without a trace of smoke, as warm as spring.

Li Xuandu closed his eyes again and heard Qin Su's voice coming from his ears: "Are you awake?"

Li Xuan opened his eyes again. This time it was not a copper furnace, but Qin Su's face. Qin Su was staring at him with a pair of wonderful eyes.

Li Xuan gradually came back to his senses, and his thoughts became clearer. Looking around, he was in a room with elegant arrangements without luxury, with great background and exquisite thoughts. In addition, there was a faint smell of sandalwood in his nose. I think it should be the guest room of Yuyingguan. At this time, a copper furnace was placed in the room. Through the many holes covered by the furnace, the fire in the furnace could be vaguely seen jumping, illuminating the inside of the house. The outside of the house was still pitch black and the wind and snow were whistling.

Li Xuan gave out a light breath and asked, "How long have I slept?"

Qin Su whispered: "A day and night, if I hadn't discovered you, you would have become a snowman."

Li Xuan was a little surprised: "It seems that I have only been in Guanghan Palace for so long."

Qin Su said: "It seems that you have gained a lot."

"It's a pity that I can't enter the wonderful realm of the Nascent Soul, which is very different." Li Xuandu sat up slowly, then stretched out his palm and gently lifted a strand of her drooping hair.

The two of them were in contact with each other. Qin Su smiled a little shyly, subconsciously lowered her eyelids, but then she raised her eyes again and looked at Li Xuan. The fire in the copper furnace shone on her face, which was really bright and beautiful. Not a square object.

Li Xuandu's heart moved slightly, reached out to hold her slender palm, and sighed, not knowing what to say.

Qin Su asked softly, "Why did you sigh?"

Li Xuandu stared at her eyes and said softly: "I suddenly felt a little sad. From the second year of Tianbao to this year, in just six years, too many things have happened, as if it has passed a long time ago. I feel like I'm much older, less than thirty years old, but I live like an old man in my sixties."

Qin Su deliberately joked: "You are aging before you grow old, I am in my prime."

Li Xuandu pretended to be angry and said, "I made an appointment to grow old together. Are you changing your mind?"

Qin Su smiled and said, "You said that you are less than 30 years old and are still considered a young person. Who changed his homology?"

Li Xuandu said, "This reminds me of two poems from ancient people: I am eighty and eighteen years old, and I am beautiful and my white hair. I am in a state of the same Geng with you, only one sixty in the middle. The eighteen bride and eighty-year-old , the pale hair and red makeup. The mandarin ducks are in pairs of nights, and a tree of pear blossoms presses against the crabapple."

Qin Su's face turned slightly red and she spat, "Who wants to be in the middle of the night with you?"

Li Xuandu used his spear to attack his shield: "If you want to regret the marriage, just say it, why bother to circle it."

This is Qin Su's original words. Qin Su was speechless, and was angry and embarrassed. He thrust his hand and wanted to hit him: "Dengtuzi!"

Li Xuandu smiled slightly: "When did I have been flirting with you? If you say that, I really want to be flirting with you, otherwise wouldn't I have been in vain for the crime."

As he said that, Li Xuan stretched out his hands to scare Qin Su.

Qin Su, who was originally sitting on the edge of the bed, knew that Li Xuan was not really here, subconsciously took a few steps back, and at the same time, his arms crossed in front of him, pretending to be defensive.

Li Xuandu got up and got out of bed, stretched his body: "I slept for a day and a night, but unfortunately I didn't see the old man in Zixiao Palace. It seems that the old man has come out of seclusion."

Qin Su was stunned: "You mean the old man..."

Li Xuan didn't even speak, so he made a promise.
