Taiping Inn

Since his wife died, Li Daoxu moved to the Eight Scenery Villa on Penglai Island. During the year, he had at least eight months to lock himself in the alchemy room called Zhenjing Temple in the villa. In the middle, retreat to the mysterious cultivation.

In the past ten years, there are only a handful of people who have been able to enter the True Realm Monastery, so within the Qingwei Sect, whether they can enter the True Realm Monastery is regarded as whether they have become a real power figure in the Qingwei Sect.

The yard outside the True Realm Monastery was empty, with no servants, maids, and guards. Li Xuandu and Qin Su walked through the corridor and finally came to a hall.

At this time, the hall door of the main hall was closed, and a plaque was hung above the hall door, with the words "Zhenjing Temple".

Taoist classics say that the temple of the Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun among the Three Pure Ones is called "Immortal Realm True Realm", and the word "true Realm" is taken from here. The "Eight Scenery Villa" outside was written by Situ Xuance, but these four words were written by Li Daoxu.

Li Xuandu opened the door himself, and the two doors were not slowly removed.

The main hall here is unusually designed and extremely narrow. After entering the hall door, there is a long passage with heavy veils. At the end of the passage are two hall doors. Behind the two hall doors is the real temple. .

There is a plaque hanging directly above the door of the hall, with four large seal characters written on it: "There is no better way to show it." This plaque is exactly the same as the four big words "Zhenjing Temple" on the plaque outside the hall, and it is also written by Li Daoxu.

Every two feet on both sides of the passage is a huge three-legged copper incense burner. The cover is hollowed out according to the Bagua image. There are blue flames burning in the furnace, causing the hollowing to constantly emit a faint purple smoke. Let this place become curling smoke, like a fairyland.

Li Xuandu and Qin Su walked in the middle, their steps silently. Although Li Daoxu was no longer here, Qin Su still subconsciously lowered his breath.

Li Xuandu stopped, looked up at the plaque with "Famo Mo is better than Xian", and asked softly: "Su Su, do you know the intention of the old man hanging this central hall here?"

Qin Su was smart and read all kinds of classics, so she naturally couldn't help but answered, "There is no better way to show the Dharma, but the art is not to be seen. This sentence comes from the Legal classics, which means 'fa' to achieve a certain goal. The rules set should be made explicitly; "skill" is a skill that should be hidden in the heart, used at the right time, and not easily shown to others. The old man's arrangement is very clever, because there is no way to show it, so the old man put this sentence before The four words are hung high in the middle hall to clearly indicate that others are not willing to see each other, so the old man hid the last four words and did not write them out clearly. "

Li Xuandu nodded and said, "You are right. The old man's unfinished words are the last four words, "The art is not to be seen." The Legalists believe that a wise king must be good at "acting arts to control his subordinates", because The interests of the king and the minister are different. The interests of the king and the minister are different. The master's profit lies in being able to serve as an official, the minister's profit lies in being incompetent and get things; the master's profit lies in being hard work and having titles and salaries; the minister's profit lies in being incompetent and wealth; the master's profit lies in being rich and honorable Enable, the ministers use their personal gain in the clique. In this conflict of interest, if you do not understand the 'man skills', it is very likely that the 'just subordinates are inferior to the monarch' and are more important than favoring others'. In other words, the means are not in place. The subordinates have great opportunities to form cliques and form various factions. This sentence is very applicable to Daomen, Qingweizong, and inns."

Qin Su was silent.

Qin Su retreated his gaze and took Qin Su into the monastery. At the first glance, he could see the altar of the main wall enshrines the throne of the Taishang Taoist Ancestor and the Sanqing Ancestor. Below the throne is a paved house. The Yin-Yang Dharma Seat with the black cushion. Below the Dharma Seat is a lichen. The lichen is like a painting. The sky is dim and the earth is dark, clouds are foggy, and thunder is scattered. There is a faint shadow passing through it, which is with the "Tianshi Master" The Flying Immortal Map" is ranked equally well-known in the "Sword Immortal Ascension Map".

Although it is a retreat place, it was not built on the dark underground, with windows open around it. At this time, the windows were opened, and the wind was wrapped around it, drifting in with a little snow outside. Through the window, you can see the scenery outside, which is very open, and even the sea and sky can be seen from afar.

Although the members of the Qingwei Sect renovated and cleaned the Eight Scenery Villa, Li Daoxu had a strong power, and no one dared to enter the True Realm Monastery, so he still maintained the way Li Daoxu left.

Li Xuandu looked around and said, "The Earth Master once commented on all the experts in the world in his notes. He commented on his early masters: "Everything is too cautious, orderly, and improve disciplines, and moves both at home and abroad, and they all have constant success." . 'I have to say that the earth master is still accurate in judging people."

Qin Su looked up at her head and saw a man-made Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Star Map, which just corresponded to the two points of Yin and Yang Pisces below, and was cleverly conceived.

Li Xuandu took a few steps forward and found an undisassembled letter on the throne.

There is no doubt that this is a letter written by Li Daoxu and left to Li Xuandu.

Li Xuan picked up the envelope, but did not rush to open the letter, but fell into deep thought.

Qin Su didn't say anything, but just stood beside her and swept through everything in the monastery with her eyes. She had already seen the earth master's treasures, and now she had seen Li Daoxu's True Realm Monastery, and had also been to Weiyu Bookstore in the Dazhen Ren Mansion. As for Qin Qing's study, it had long been changed into her boudoir. The honor is rare in the world.

After a long while, Li Xuandu slowly opened the envelope and took out the letter paper, which was densely filled with people's names. It was written in neat regular script, which showed that Li Daoxu was very calm when he wrote the letter, without any ripples. It gave people the feeling that he was like a clerk recording a judgment document, or a historian writing history with an iron pen, without any good or evil, without sincere heart, without passion, without feeling the Spring and Autumn Annals, only like the ruthlessness of the heavens.

Li Xuandu couldn't help but think of his master's expressionless appearance.

Li Xuandu's face was a little solemn. He looked silently. The first name was written prominently as Li Taiyi, the second name was Situ Xuanlue, and then there were many names below.

At this time, Li Xuandu felt a little dazed, as if the silent figure of the master emerged from the letter, and then the figure spoke, and the familiar voice rang in Li Xuandu's ears again: "The atmosphere of Qingwei Sect is not right, and I, the leader of the sect, cannot escape the blame. Han Gong said in the sacrificial text: 'Since this year, the gray parts of me have turned white, and the shaking parts have fallen off. The hair and blood are declining day by day, and the ambition is declining day by day. How long will it take for me not to follow you to die?' I am already an old man, and although I have achieved immortality, my qi and blood are vigorous, my body is healthy, I have the ability to go to heaven and into the earth, and the power to destroy mountains and pull up mountains, I am not like Han Gong who was toothless and hairy back then, but my world-weariness is getting heavier day by day, and my ambition is declining day by day. I often wander in the sky for more than ten days, indulge in it, but I can't bear to pay attention to the mundane affairs of the sect, so that the people in the sect are... , chaos emerged one after another, and there was a trend of decline from prosperity. Whose fault is it? It's my fault. The disciples are guilty, the fault lies with Li Yuanying, Li Daoshi, and some greedy, despicable and shameless people. Some people deserve to be punished, but some people are helpless and can only go with the flow. I hope Zifu can deal with them as appropriate. "

"Li Taiyi, a man of great talent, if Zifu can subdue him, he should be carefully cultivated so that he can become a magic sword of our Qingwei Sect in the future. Whether it is internal or external, he can go forward and be invincible. Use him well and use him carefully. "

"If Zifu cannot subdue this person, he should be destroyed as soon as possible to avoid causing great trouble and endless disasters. "

There was no expression on Li Xuandu's face, but his hands holding the letter were trembling slightly, showing that his heart was not calm.

Li Xuandu continued to look down, and his eyes were hazy again. He seemed to see the figure of his master Li Daoxu gradually drifting away from the letter. Just like usual, he sat on the Dharma seat in front of him, or paced back and forth in the Jingshe. The voice echoed around the Jingshe with his figure: "The Dharma is best revealed, and the technique is not to be seen. I have been in charge of Qingwei Sect for decades, and I have not always employed people in public. There are also some people who work for me in secret, and outsiders do not know. This group of people includes people from Qingwei Sect, people from the court, people from the Li family, and people from the rivers and lakes. There are people in prominent positions, and there are silent people. There are unknown people, famous people, and infamous people, as well as disciples from other sects, such as Sheji Academy, Donghua Sect, Miaozhen Sect, Zhengyi Sect, Cihang Sect, Butian Sect, Shenxiao Sect, etc. "

"These people are like the sharp sword of Qingwei Sect. The sword has two edges, hurting others and yourself. If you carry a sharp weapon, you will naturally have the desire to kill, so only people with virtue can hold it. I am not virtuous, and Zifu, you are more kind than my teacher. I will leave it to you. In the future, when you deal with the Confucianists, or integrate the Taoists, and seek peace in the world, I can help you. "

Li Xuan couldn't help but exhale a breath of turbid air, and then looked down.

Li Daoxu's voice was somewhat emotional: "As for the advice you gave me, I have read it more than once. Some of your words are shallow, but it's not your fault. You were in a low position at the time and couldn't see the whole picture. Some of your words hit the nail on the head, but I have no intention of changing the current predicament."

"My six disciples, apart from the deceased Situ Xuance and the useless Lu Yanbing. Li Yuanying learned from me in every way, but he didn't learn like me in every way. He only learned the 'art' but forgot the 'Tao'. Because of my fatigue and disgust with the world, I indulged the disciples in the sect too much. In order to win people over, he If you have a heart, you will indulge yourself. This will only completely destroy the foundation of my Qingwei Sect. Li Taiyi is extremely talented and has the hope of immortality, but he is too ambitious, too bold, arrogant, and narrow-minded. He needs to be cautious to be a sharp sword, but if he is the leader of a sect, he will definitely do bad things. As for Zhang Haishi, he is a man of temperament. He acts according to his own preferences and disdains to compromise. He can be a helper, but not a leader. So the master has to hand over this heavy responsibility to you. You are a tenacious and determined person. The master believes that you will be able to correct the mistakes of the master and carry forward the Qingwei Sect. "
