Taiping Inn

After the mother and son talked for a while, Mrs. Jiang looked at the drip of the copper pot placed outside.

Yan Shenggong stopped talking.

Because there were only two people, the entire attic became very quiet.

In the silence, the dripping sound of the large copper pot can be heard clearly. The last woodcut of the word "Shen" on the copper pot woodcut has surfaced, and the word "You" can be seen through the water.

This is when the hour of Shen and the hour of You is below.

Mrs. Jiang stood up and said, "The guest is coming, let's go to the second hall."

"Yes." Yan Shenggong responded.

The two left the inner house and came to the second hall where guests were hospitalized. In the middle of the room, there were large plaques of "Qin Cheng Shengxu" and "Poetry, Book, Rites and Music" hanging on the upper and lower part of the room.

Not long after, a butler led a man to the door of the second hall. The butler stopped. The man walked in by himself, and was wearing a heavy cloak covered with a cap, covering his face.

Mrs. Jiang and Yan Shenggong both stood up to greet each other.

Yan Shenggong looked at this person with a little inquiry. The man sat down straight in a chair and took off the cap on his head.

Yan Shenggong didn't know this person, but he saw that his hair and beard were all white, and he looked extremely old.

The old man said to the butler and the servants outside the door, "You all go down."

Although the old man was a guest, he had a natural aura, and the butler and servant retreated without waiting for the orders of Yan Shenggong.

The old man looked at Yan Shenggong and smiled and said, "Yan Shenggong doesn't know me. I am an old friend of Lingzun, and I have been in love with Lingtang for decades. My original name has been forgotten, and everyone in the world calls me Old Man Long."

Yan Shenggong was shocked and hurriedly bowed and said, "It turns out that it is Mr. Long. He has long been famous. Unfortunately, he is squandering one meeting. It is a blessing to finally meet him today."

Mrs. Jiang apologized: "The middle door should have been opened to welcome the senior brother, I hope the senior brother will forgive me."

Old Man Long waved his hand: "It is not necessary to pay attention to what those common etiquettes do. Moreover, Li Xuan has inherited the mantras of Xu Wugui and Li Daoxu, and his ears and ears are everywhere. If you are not careful, the news will leak."

Yan Shenggong remembered the incident of running away from slavery a few days ago, and knew that Old Man Long's words were not exaggerated at all, and his heart was a little heavier.

Although the two families have been placing secrets on each other over the years, the saint's mansion has never touched the core of the Li family, which is reasonable, because the Li family is Li Daoxu, not to mention ordinary slaves, It was not easy for Li Xuandu and others to see Li Daoxu, but the saint's mansion was infiltrated by the Li family. After this, the saint's mansion was very much lost.

It was precisely because the Li family used the method of stealing the blame to replace the pillars to insert people to their side, that is, their every move fell into the eyes of the Li family, that the saint's mansion had to fight back.

As for how to fight back, the saint's mansion itself doesn't count, it depends on what Old Man Long means.

Since the death of the saint of Xinxue, the Confucian Sect has always been without a leader. The three university palaces and the four major academies are all in charge. Now they can barely integrate together to deal with the Taoist Sect. In addition to the huge pressure brought by the Taoist Sect, the head of the hermit also has no contribution. without. Old Man Long’s position in the Confucian sect is not the leader, nor is it far away.

However, Old Man Long did not get to the point immediately, but said with emotion: "I haven't come to Qizhou for many years. Last time I came, I was going to send Situ Xuance a special journey. It's a pity that I've been defending everything and defended it. A Situ Xuance, but failed to guard against it

Li Xuandu, I heard that the Earth Master killed him twice, and he was in a desperate situation, so the Earth Master finally changed his mind. Is it really God's will? ”

Mrs. Jiang said, "Why are you discouraged by your senior brother? It is still unknown who will win or lose now. If there is another 60-year-old time, Li Xuan may really be invincible in the world. Now he is still far from it."

Old Man Long did not deny this: "If you talk about realm and cultivation, I am not afraid of Li Xuandu. After all, Li Xuandu is not Li Daoxu. If you really want to fight fairly, I have about 80% chance of winning. You can compete for courage. Fighting is like killing on the battlefield. How can there be fairness? Always use everything to do. Li Xuan has the 'Yin and Yang Immortal Clothes' left by Xu Wugui and the 'Knocking of the Sky' left by Li Daoxu , with two great immortal objects in hand, our chances of winning will be reversed, so I have to borrow "Su Wang" for use. Regarding this matter, the person who came before has explained it clearly. "

Mrs. Jiang's face was a little solemn.

The same is true for Yan Shenggong.

No matter what, "King Su" is a thing passed down from generation to generation by the saint's mansion. If anything goes wrong, they will have no face to face the ancestors and the mother and son have discussed it for a long time before agreeing to this matter.

The saying "immortal object" is the Taoist saying, and the Confucianism calls it "saint object", in short, it is the same thing. Later, the Confucian school gradually changed its words and called it "immortality".

Among the several major immortal objects in the Taoist sect, two immortal objects are stored in the Dazhen Mansion. The Confucian Sect corresponds to it. There are also immortal objects stored in the saint's mansion, which is what the old man Long calls "Su Wang".

In addition, Tianxin Academy and Sheji Academy also have an immortal object.

Now it is not as good as Yuxu fighting swords, it is already the Dao Sect attacking while the Confucian Sect defends, and the offense and defense are different. At the beginning, the two university palaces refused to hand over their fairy objects to outsiders, and now it is no longer difficult to let them take out the fairy objects.

If all the immortal objects are handed over to the hands of Old Man Long, even if it is not included in the "Tian Chess Game" of the immortal objects in Wanxiang Academy, Old Man Long can still defeat Li Xuandu steadily, even if it faces Li Xuandu and Qin. Qing joins forces, and it may not be without a chance of winning.

Mrs. Jiang naturally understood this truth and said slowly: "As the saying goes, 'The fingers that hold on to the fire and do not focus, the power lies in the speed of the spirit. The tip nails into the metal and stone, and concentrates the strength at a point.' That's all."

Old Man Long sighed: "I have also heard of the name of "King Su" for a long time. I also have a chance to be together. If you count it carefully, how many years have you not appeared in the world? After all, it is because we are not successful. The saint was alive at that time. At that time, no immortal objects were used. One person suppressed the Taoist sect so that they could not hold their heads up. The rebellion of King Ning was settled with a wave of hand. But now, the rebellion of King Liao was becoming more and more intense, which had shaken the foundation of the world .”

When Mrs. Jiang heard Mrs. Long mention the scene of the saint being alive, she couldn't help but feel sad and silent.

Yansheng Gong listened quietly to the conversation between the two elders and never interrupted.

After a moment, Mrs. Jiang said, "Senior brother, don't blame yourself, and don't worry too much. The Book of Documents says: Three years of prosperity, three years of apologies, six years of a small disaster, and twelve years of a great disaster. The sky is here This was the case when the ancient Holy Emperor. In the good times, the food was stored and the wasteland was prepared, and in the bad times, the disaster victims were relieved. This is the meaning of Taicang and the big and small official warehouses. Whether it is the "Su Wang" in our saint's mansion or the treasure of the three university palaces, Just like the food stored in Taicang, the food stored in the future is to deal with the situation when the green and yellow are not accepted. And when the saint is alive, there is a good harvest, so where do we need to use food stored in it?”

"What junior sister said is very true." Old Man Long nodded, "

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

I wonder where ‘Su King’ is now? ”

Mrs. Jiang stood up and said, "Senior brother, please follow me."

The Li family has an ancestral home, ancestral hall, and tomb fields in Beihai Prefecture, and the same is true for the Yanshenggong family. The saint's mansion is the ancestral home, and there are also the Supreme Holy Forest and the Supreme Holy Temple, which corresponds to the tomb fields and the ancestral hall.

The Shisheng Forest covers an area of ​​more than 3,000 mu, with more than 100,000 tombs, but there is no gloomy atmosphere. It is connected to the city gate. The tomb of the saint is located in the middle of the saint forest. The earth is sealed in the shape of a silence. It has set up temples and altars to build sacred gates, carved stone rituals, erected monuments, made circumferences, and built heavy gates. This dynasty rebuilt the Enchanting Hall tomb gate and added them. Zhushuiqiaofang and Wangu Changchunfang.

Zhisheng Temple was originally the former residence of a saint, adjacent to the saint's residence. After expansion in all dynasties, it has covered an area of ​​more than 300 acres. It is built in the Imperial Palace, and is as famous as the Imperial Palace and the Xijing Palace. It is also along with the Imperial Palace, the Imperial Palace, the Imperial Palace, and the Dragon Gate. The Confucian Temple is known as the four major Confucian Temples.

Compared with this, the Li family’s ancestral hall and tomb fields are really not worth mentioning. Only the Royal Taimiao and the imperial tomb can overwhelm.

Under the leadership of Mrs. Jiang, the three left the saint's mansion and came to the adjacent saint temple.

Although the Imperial Temple is as famous as the Zhisheng Temple, it is only a three-entrance courtyard, and it is not as good as the five-entrance mansions of many powerful families. However, the Zhisheng Temple has nine-entrance entrances, with clouds standing tall, flying eaves and wings open, and the door is open. , the layers of the palaces are specially formed, and glazed tiles are used. The palaces and veranda are cut with green glazed tiles, green and green paintings, red lacquered railings, eaves and columns are made of stone, and dragons are carved as decorations, which are not inferior to those in the deep palace.

The main building is the Dacheng Hall, which is also a place for worshiping saints.

The three of them came to the Dacheng Hall and saw a portrait of a saint hanging high in the middle, but it was not a Confucian costume, but a king with a crown and uniform system, with twelve crowns and nine chapters, just like an emperor.

As a disciple of the Confucian scholar, the old man Long looked solemn and kowtowed respectfully.

Mrs. Jiang and Yan Shenggong are no exception.

After worship, Mrs. Jiang pointed at the altar and said, "Senior Brother, please see, 'King Su' is here."

Old Man Long looked at Mrs. Jiang with her fingers. She was empty and nothing except for incense and candle offerings.

Of course, Old Man Long would not think that Mrs. Jiang was enjoying herself. She frowned and said softly: "It is said that 'King Su' is a sword, not a sword, and it is visible and invisible. It corresponds to the fact that the saint has the virtue of an emperor but has not been It is really worth seeing you today."

Mrs. Jiang lowered her eyes: "It was not intended to make things difficult for the senior brother, but "King Su" himself. It has been passed down from generation to generation that only those who are virtuous can maintain it, so whether you can take "King Su" away will be entirely viewed. Senior brother himself.”

Old man Long fell into deep thought.

Mrs. Jiang stopped talking, but just waited quietly with Yansheng Gong.

After a long time, the old man Long slowly spoke, "The Xuansheng Creation Classics, the King of Su's teachings. The sage's wisdom is too great and brave, and he is brave and obeyed Meng Ben. However, he does not hear the courage and power, and does not know the skill, and practices the teachings. King Cheng Su.”

As he finished speaking, a ripple spread around with the altar as the center, passing through the entire Dacheng Hall, like a flat mirror. Wherever he passed, the people and various things in the hall were distorted.

Old Man Long took this opportunity to reach out and it seemed as if he had grasped something, but his hands were empty.

Mrs. Jiang and Yan Shenggong looked at each other, unable to hide their shock.

He is worthy of being a person who is a member of the Confucian school, and has done what Yan Shenggong has failed to do for several generations.
