Taiping Inn

In the end, Li Xuandu did not make things difficult for Zhang Lianshan and Ma Suzhen because of Zhang Luanshan's affection, and let them go.

Of course, Li Xuandu also had other concerns in his mind. In the past few years, he has sought land and practiced, and many of his friendships have been temporarily put on hold. Now that he wants to continue his original incense relationship, it is hard to find it directly After all, he was no longer the original Sword Immortal of the Purple Mansion, so he wanted to use this indirect method to gradually get in touch according to the closeness and distantness of his friendship. Zhang Luanshan is one of the more credible people. This is like a free piece when playing chess. It may not be useful or useless. Let’s look at the future.

Then he took Zhou Shuning away from Fengyin Prefecture City as planned. After leaving the city gate, he passed through a large lake. The two of them walked on the long embankment on the lakeshore and looked at the sparkling lake water. Li Xuan was quite interested and said: I remember this lake. It is said that a dragon was in trouble under the water. It happened that a sword immortal passed by this place and walked on the road with his sword. The two sides fought on the lake, causing countless storms. In the end, the sword immortal used a sword to kill the dragon with a sword from the heavenly being killed. , and then left, so the lake was renamed Zhanjiao Lake. "

Zhou Shuning widened her eyes, first looked at the lake water, then turned her head to look at Li Xuandu beside her, and asked curiously: "Brother, are you a sword immortal?"

Li Xuandu shook his head and said, "In a certain period of time in the past, I was called the Sword Immortal by the world, but in my opinion, I am not yet considered a Sword Immortal. I can really call him a Sword Immortal. The old sect leader of Qingwei Sect. "

Although during this period, the little girl had roughly known what the twelve sects of righteousness were, except for the Xuannv Sect, the situation of other sects was not familiar with, so she asked, "What is the old sect leader?"

Li Xuandu said softly: "It is the sect leader. Now many older people, after they are over 70 years old, do not want to be distracted by mundane affairs and trivial matters. They are devoted to seeking the great way, so they handed over the position of sect leader to the hands of their younger generations and let them Go out and do it. However, the power of this sect is still controlled by these old people, so it is also called the old sect leader. "

"Qingwei Sect is located on the shore of the East China Sea and is built on the east side of Jieshi. It can be seen from the vast sea. The old sect leader is now nearly a hundred years old and has become famous for more than 80 years. It is a once-in-a-century sword master. When he was young, he was invincible with all his strength. The immortal sword was rampant in the world. When he was middle-aged, he replaced it with a jade heavy sword, and after he was sixty, he replaced it with an ordinary bamboo sword, which was unmatched. At the age of eighty, the swordsmanship was perfected and he invited the battle against Wudao among the ten evil sects. The sect leader cuts the river with one sword, two swords open the mountain, and three swords defeat the enemy. For a time, the world was impressed by it and was known as the "Sword God" and is also known as the Sword God and the Great Sword Immortal. It has only been in the past decade. , This old sect leader rarely appears in the world."

Li Xuan said it magnificently, but the little girl was not very interested in it. After all, the little girls of their age prefer young masters, young heroes, or female heroes, fairies, an old man who is almost a hundred years old. No matter how powerful it is, it is difficult to make the little girl have too much interest.

Seeing this, Li Xuan could only smile helplessly, but continued, "Listen carefully, what I want to say next is common sense in the world. If you don't even know this, you will be laughed at when you walk around the world in the future. ”

After hearing this, Zhou Shuning quickly cheered up and nodded seriously.

Li Xuandu said: "People in the world always like to distinguish between superiors and inferiors, especially in the world. It is said that there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts, so there is a world-class comment on the world from nowhere to begin. To put it bluntly, it is a comment on contemporary figures in the world, claiming that "the lips and tongue move, and it also becomes the spring and autumn of the world". It is somewhat similar to the Yuedan commentary of literati and scholars."

The little girl's eyes lit up and she said, "I know the Yuedan Review. The book says that it comments on the Shilin scholars and articles, calligraphy and painting. Because it was released on the first day of each month, it is called Yuedan Review. No matter who it is, once it passes the Yuedan Review. The title of the topic increased by a hundred times, and it was spread throughout the world, and it was considered a beautiful talk, so it became famous and prosperous for a while. "

Li Xuandu nodded and said, "That's about it, and the same is true for the world review. However, the world review has a bigger tone than the Yuedan review, and it is not once a month, but once every three years. It is divided into three lists, namely: Shaoxuan List, Taixuan List, Laoxuan List. Among them, Shaoxuan List includes young heroes under the age of 30, and are ranked according to the level of cultivation. Once you reach 30, no matter how high your level is, you will be immediately off the list. Taixuan The list is based on age and the rankings are evaluated completely according to the level of cultivation. The so-called top ten masters in the world are from this. Among them, those on the list may not be accurate, but they can be recognized by most people."

Zhou Shuning asked, "Where is the Lao Xuan List? Is it a list that specializes in the old people?"

Li Xuandu smiled and shook his head, "The Lao Xuan List does not include the old people, but some hidden masters. Just like the old master of the Qingwei Sect I just mentioned, the swordsmanship and gods are already in the world. The top figure in the world is also the old leader of Zhengyi Sect, who is Yan Feiqing's master. His merits and fortune are also the ultimate in the world. Who is qualified to evaluate the level of these people? So the Lao Xuan Ban is for these real ones. Experts are established, and they are tied for rankings regardless of order."

Zhou Shuning immediately understood, "In this way, the people on the Lao Xuan list are the most powerful people, and the top ten masters in the world on the Tai Xuan list are actually not true."

Li Xuan said with a bit of a smile: "You are not wrong, but we can't underestimate the masters on the Taixuan list. After all, the people on the old Xuan list either hide from the world or travel around the world. They rarely show up in the world. Take the old head of the Zhengyi Sect for example. He has been traveling outside for many years. Except for Yan Feiqing who returned to Tianshi Mountain when he inherited the position of the head of the Zhengyi Sect, it was extremely difficult for the elders of the Zhengyi Sect to meet this ancestor. From this aspect, these masters on the old Xuan list can no longer be considered as people in the world, so they are excluded from the top ten. Besides the masters, it is reasonable. Besides, with the status of these old predecessors, they would not care about any list comments. "

Zhou Shuning asked again: "Who is the person who made the world comment?"

Li Xuandu hesitated for a moment and said: "There has been no definite answer, but there are rumors that it was done by someone from the Taiping Sect. The Taiping Sect has always been proficient in the art of divination. If it was done by them, it would make sense. But I don’t understand, if it was really done by the Taiping Sect, why would they deliberately conceal it and never admit it. "

Zhou Shuning said as a matter of course: "Of course it’s because good deeds are done without leaving a name. "

Li Xuandu laughed dumbly.
