Taiping Inn

Because it is winter, today's sitting and talking about Taoism is set up in a Buddha hall. The temple covers a huge area and is very long in depth. There are nearly a thousand Buddha statues and murals, so it is called the Thousand Buddha Hall. Many scholars and scholars are divided into two They sat cross-legged on the cushion, and a passage was empty in the middle to reach the gilded Buddha deep in the hall. Depending on the status, the different seats are. The more venerable the status, the closer the gilded Buddha deep in the hall, the lower the status, the closer the hall gate.

At this time, in front of the Buddha deep in the hall, a group of people were invisibly clearly separated from others. The leader was an old man with excellent care, sitting cross-legged, and there were only four cushions around him, including just a few years ago. The Minister of Revenue who retired from the court and returned home, also the head of the Su family, the second only to the Qian family in Jinling Mansion. This old man knew the will of heaven and lived a peaceful life after his legitimate daughter Su Yunzhang Sect, especially Su After the marriage between Yun Yao and Yan Feiqing was decided, the old man was in a very good mood. Compared with the Qian family, which has suffered a lot of misfortunes recently, the Su family has already vaguely caught up.

Next to the head of the Su family, there was a middle-aged Taoist. He was from Zhengyi Sect. In terms of generations, he was considered Yan Feiqing's senior brother. However, he had only arrived in Jinling recently after hearing about the evil people who were rampant in Jinling Mansion. The mansion is now also located in Dabaoen Temple. Regarding today's discussion, this middle-aged Taoist is a coincidence, but because of his junior brother's relationship with the Su family, he is quite close to the head of the Su family.

This time, the Jinling Prefecture held a discussion during the sensitive period when the Governor of Jiangnan fled from the Jinling Prefecture, and gathered hundreds of people. Such a big deal is certainly not as simple as discussing the truth. The fundamental purpose is to deal with the subsequent responsibilities of the imperial court, although now The court is no longer as good as before, but on the surface, it is still the common ruler of the world. At most, gentry from all over the country disobeys and will not rebel openly.

When Qian Jin'er and Li Xuan both came to the Thousand Buddha Hall, the discussion had already begun, so the two of them did not go to the main entrance, but went directly from the side door to a location not far from the Gilded Buddha, because the wooden floor was laid in the hall. , the monk told him to take off his shoes, and the two of them could only follow the customs, take off their shoes at the entrance of the side door, and walk into the hall with only white socks.

Shortly after the two found an inconspicuous position, a middle-aged famous man stood up and left the seat, walked on the passage between the two rows of cushions, talking generously. From time to time, scholars and scholars asked questions, and this elegant and elegant scholar answered one by one, with a verbal attitude towards fighting against the scholars, which attracted cheers.

Li Xuan was not very interested in these principles of blindly pursuing falsehood, because Zhang Suqing once told him that the books of saints were for future generations to read, and they were useless to do things. Qian Jiner, who was sitting next to him, quickly became fascinated by the listening. Obviously, this Qian woman was not only proficient in music theory, but also proficient in Confucianism.

At this moment, another middle-aged scholar walked into the Thousand Buddha Hall from the main entrance of the hall. After looking around, his eyes fell on Li Xuandu, and then strode towards Li Xuandu.

In such a huge Thousand Buddha Hall, except for the Taoist of Zhengyi Sect who was aware of it, the rest of the people were actually unaware of this middle-aged scholar.

Li Xuandu was shocked and looked at the person coming.

"Blood Shadow Phantom Body."

There are probably no more people in the world who can use the "blood shadow illusion body" than one hand. I'm afraid there is only one person who can achieve such achievements.

The tenth person on the Taixuan List, Ning Yi, "Blood Knife".

He was once a scholar who was devoted to studying the books of sages. Later, he used his love to become one of the three swords in the world, which were ranked alongside the "Sky Knife" Song Qing and the "Demon Knife" Song Zheng.

Li Xuan didn't know why Ning Yi appeared here, and he couldn't guess what Ning Yi was going to come. Could it be that Ning Yi guessed that Qin Xiang, Jing Xiu, Shen Yuanzhou and others had already left Jinling Mansion, so one was coming. The oriole is behind? If this is true, with Li Xuandu's own strength, he will face this tenth person on the Taixuan List, just like him who only met Chen Guhong when he was only in the dan realm. He has no chance of winning at all. After all, he is already It’s not the original Purple House Sword Immortal.

Thinking of this, Li Xuandu's eyes were a little dim.

At this moment, Qian Jin'er also noticed something was wrong. After looking at Li Xuandu's face, she looked along his gaze, and then saw the scholar.

Qian Jin'er is not her brother who has never liked martial arts since childhood. She has shown outstanding talent since childhood. If it weren't for a woman, I'm afraid the head of the family would be in her pocket decades ahead of time. At this time, I also saw something was wrong and whispered: "Who is this?"

Li Xuandu said with a serious expression: "'Blood Knife' Ning Yi."

Qian Jin'er's face suddenly became very ugly. Although she was not a pure person in the world, she also knew that this famous person on the 10th day of Taixuan List was a guest of honor in the 10th century. She thought of the 10th day of the 10th month of the 10th month of the 10th month of the 10th month of the 10th month of the 10th month of the 10th month of the 10th month of the 10th month of Ning Yi's intention to come is very interesting.

Ning Yi, who was more elegant than most scholars in Jiangnan, stood not far from Li Xuan, and smiled and said, "Zi Mansion, you and I have met again."

Li Xuan smiled bitterly, but soon returned to his usual calmness and reached out to make a "please sit" gesture: "Mr. Ning is here to listen to today's sitting?"

Ning Yi did not refuse, and sat down cross-legged, and then said, "Today, whether it is Neo-Confucianism or Mind studies, they are just picking up people's wisdom, and there is no new meaning, so it's better not to listen. As for the various plans after discussing the Tao, It has nothing to do with me. I came here today to make a special trip to meet Zifu."

Li Xuandu was startled. He didn't expect Ning Yi to be so straightforward, but he didn't look like he was going to fight. He had to ask, "I don't know why Mr. Ning is here."

Ning Yi didn't rush to speak, but glanced at Qian Jin'er.

Qian Jin'er felt a sudden chill on her body, as if she was swept by a knife. She knew that Mr. Ning, who had a strange temperament, didn't want her to listen in, so she stood up and sat down again at a slightly farther position.

Li Xuandu had fought with Ning Yi for the title of "Grand Master". Li Xuandu defeated Ning Yi with the advantage of "Human World" in his hand, and also became the tenth person on the Taixuan List at that time.

At that time, Li Xuandu was undoubtedly at the peak of his swordsmanship.

It's a pity that Li Xuandu still has to wait for Nan Kezi's "Five Qi True Pill". He has no chance of winning against Ning Yi today, so he can only say: "Mr. Ning, you can say it now."

Ning Yi smiled lightly and said: "Before, on the bank of Luo River, Zifu once said something to me. I chewed it over and over for a long time and felt that it still made some sense. I have been trapped in the affairs of men and women for too long, and I have almost forgotten the saintly principles I have learned. If it is feasible to refine medicine with "corpse pill" this time, then I am willing to follow Zifu and do my best for the people of this world."

Li Xuandu was surprised and happy.

Surprised at the change in Ning Yi's attitude, and he had a hunch that Ning Yi's words were not false. If it was a palace official who said this, he would definitely not believe it, but if it was Ning Yi, he was willing to believe it.

Li Xuandu asked softly, "So, Mr. Ning is very confident about refining the medicine this time?"

Ning Yi shook his head and said, "There should be no problem with refining the medicine. The key is the efficacy of the medicine after the pill is made. I am not sure whether it is as magical as the legend says."

Li Xuandu sighed softly, "Then I can only wish Mr. Ning all his wishes come true."

Ning Yi smiled slightly and said, "Now I still lack two medicinal ingredients for refining the pill. Next, I will go to the overseas Posuo State and Fenglin State to seek medicine. It may take a few months or a few years. I hope that when I return from overseas, Zifu will have returned to its former state, so that you and I can have a fair fight."

Li Xuandu nodded solemnly, "Then it's a deal."

Ning Yi slowly stood up and was about to leave.

At this moment, the Taoist of Zhengyi Sect, who had already noticed something wrong, finally found Ning Yi sitting next to Li Xuandu.

Ning Yi stood up directly and walked out of the hall as if no one was around.

The Taoist of Zhengyi Sect was also well-informed and recognized the "Blood Shadow Illusion" immediately, but he did not expect that this person was "Blood Knife" Ning Yi. He thought that this person was Ning Yi's descendant. He snorted lightly, unsheathed the sword on his knees, and rushed forward with a sword.

Ning Yi retreated gracefully, like an immortal, and in the blink of an eye, he had already arrived outside the hall. The Taoist of Zhengyi Sect followed closely, and the sword energy was cold. Ning Yi frowned slightly, and after standing still, he just stretched out a finger to press against the tip of the sword, and then bent the sword. Then he bent his fingers and knocked, directly repelling the Zhengyi Sect master.

When the Zhengyi Sect master stabilized his body, Ning Yi's figure was no longer there.
