Taiping Inn

Li Xuandu came to the backyard alone, where there was a row of bungalows, but it was blocked by a two-story building, so the place could not be seen from the front yard.

Li Xuandu came to the so-called ground-sized room, which was not much better than a wood-room. After opening the door, the room was filled with musty smell, and I don’t know how long it took for anyone to live there. Li Xuandu came to the kang and stretched out his fingers, which were covered in dust.

Li Xuandu sighed, pushed open the window, waved his sleeves several times, rolled up a gust of breeze, and drove the rising smoke and dust out of the room.

As the boss lady thought, he was not a fledgling young man, and he could not be considered an ordinary person in the martial arts world. He is an old man and has been in the world at the age of ten, and it has been fifteen years since then.

Fifteen springs went and autumn came, and fifteen flowers bloomed and faded. He had drunk the fragrant wine of the spring breeze and peaches and plums, and also experienced the bitter wind and rain of the lonely lamp at the cold night. He could not help but get some blood debts in his hands.

In this world of swords and swords, life has four seasons.

Some people are in spring, and the spring breeze is proud. Some people are in summer, prosperous and prosperous. Some people are in autumn, bleak and bleak. There are also people who are in winter, only white and die.

Li Xuandu was lonely since childhood, with no parents and no brothers and sisters, so his life is destined to be spring and summer, and he doesn't want his life to turn into a white winter, so he can only choose. The autumn day of the Lord kills. After all, it is not that he likes to kill people, but that he survives in this chaotic world where life is like grass, and he has to kill people.

Li Xuandu gently stroked his sleeves and sighed.

After he packed up the guest room that was barely better than the woodshed, the sky gradually dimmed. When he returned to the lobby in front, he found that the originally empty lobby was full of people, all dressed in blue clothes. The Qingluan Guard in Suit.

The moment he walked into the lobby, he immediately noticed the gaze projected from all directions, full of vigilance and scrutiny.

The boss's wife hurried forward to smooth things over and said, "Dear officials, this is a customer of our store, a serious person who travels around the world, and you can make a living."

After many Qingluan Guards withdrew their gaze, she came to Li Xuandu and explained softly: "Don't be afraid of guests. These officials have always been like this. After all, the officials are responsible for the court's relationship. Be careful. It sailed for a thousand years."

Li Xuandu smiled and thanked the boss's wife, and came to a free Eight Immortals table by the window to sit down. After a while, the thin black boy gave him a jar of unopened flower carvings and a plate of cooked beef.

Li Xuan picked up a chopstick beef, a little surprised. In terms of taste, it was not domestic yellow beef, but like wild buffalo meat. He couldn't help but look at the black and thin boy and asked softly, "I didn't ask for the name of the guy." surname?"

It was probably the first time that the black and thin boy was asked about his name in such a ecstatic way. He was a little shy for the first time, "My name is Shen Changsheng."

"Shen Changsheng?" Li Xuandu stopped the movement that was about to stretch out his chopsticks and smiled, "My name is Xuandu, your name is Changsheng. After all, it means the same thing. We all want to live longer in this world, so we two are the two of us. He is still a person on the same road."

Shen Changsheng smiled and said, "Is the guest official a scholar? A name is very clear. My name was obtained by the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper said that immortality is longevity. I wonder how many years I can live to be considered longevity? It is said that life is rare in seventy years. Live a lifetime. It's almost done at the age of one hundred."

Li Xuan laughed silently, not knowing how to evaluate the second half of the sentence, so he could only answer the first half of the sentence, "I have read a few books, but I can't be considered a scholar."

Shen Changsheng still wanted to speak, but the boss's wife shouted from the kitchen, and he didn't dare to procrastinate. After accusing Li Xuan of the crime, he hurried to the kitchen.

Li Xuan looked at Shen Changsheng's back, thinking.

Where did a young man get wild buffalo meat in one afternoon?

This Taiping Inn is interesting.

But none of these matters. His purpose for this trip was not this inn, it was just a coincidence.

Li Xuan no longer cared about Shen Changsheng, but began to pay attention to the Qingluan Guards in the lobby. To be fair, these Qingluan Guards are not simple. They are all strong-bodied people with obvious military imprints on them, which shows that these Qingluan Guard is not a powerful person in the market, but a real Qingluan Guard elite, especially a Qingluan Guard commander Tongzhi, who looked about to be aware of his destiny, and his gray hair was combed. He must be meticulous, with a stern face and a ruthless and ruthless attitude.

The other one is the commander-in-chief who had gone downstairs before, sitting next to the commander-in-chief, calm and composed.

However, the most eye-catching thing is a young man who exclusively owns a table, drinking by himself, and is leisurely.

Judging from his face, he should be different from Li Xuan when he is less than thirty years old. But looking at his blue clothes and phoenix clothes, he is in the style of a third-grade rank, which is one level higher than that of an old man from the third-grade rank, and he is not as good as The other Qingluan Guards carried the Wenluan sword like that, but instead placed a long green sheath sword on the table. The thigh was dark and the hilt was wrapped in golden silk. The head of the sword was directly inlaid with a ruby ​​the size of a cat's eye. , very eye-catching.

Li Xuan looked at it and sighed secretly.

No wonder this young man like the aristocratic family dared to act like this, and it turned out that he had some support.

Things in this world must always be divided into different levels.

Take the civil and military officials of the court for example. The ninth rank and eighteenth rank, from the first rank to the minor officials of the ninth rank, are all in this framework. Whoever is higher and lower, whoever is higher and lower, whoever is higher and lower. , who is superior and who is inferior is clear at a glance.

Since the temple is like this, the martial arts world will follow suit and divide the strange people in the world into two categories, just like the division of civil and military in the temple, and there are nine realms, just like the nine-rank official system.

These two types of people, one focuses on the soul and the primordial infant, and the other focuses on the body and body, each with its own emphasis. The nine realms are: solid, control of qi, entering the spirit, holding the elixir, Xuanyuan, innate, return to the truth, heaven and man, and longevity.

Most people in the martial arts world stay in the first two realms. As the name suggests, they stabilize their physique and control the qi. The physique is the external force, and the qi is the internal force. They cultivate both inside and outside, which is different from ordinary people.

Take the Qingluan guards in front of them, most of them are in the solid realm, with strong physique and as strong as an ox. The command assistant and a gloomy Qingluan guard have already stepped into the realm of controlling qi, and the qi is nurtured in their bodies. They are enough to hide their strength and hurt people invisibly when they make a move, while the old man with a stern face is a real cultivation of entering the spirit realm.

These three realms correspond to the three Dantians respectively. The solid realm corresponds to the lower Dantian where the essence is stored, the control realm corresponds to the middle Dantian where the Qi gathers, and the spirit realm corresponds to the upper Dantian where the spirit is nourished. After entering the spirit realm, the three Dantians in the body are all opened, and the internal Qi can flow from the Qi Sea to the Snow Mountain, through the twenty-four vertebrae, break through the Fengchi acupoint, and directly reach the Yuding Xuanqiao, and then circulate the number of the Great Zhoutian, so that the internal Qi circulates day and night, and then it is a master in the eyes of the world.

As for the commander, at a young age, he has also entered the spirit realm. In terms of his age, he naturally has a brighter future than the old commander.
