Taiping Inn

After Li Xuandu set foot in the Medicine King Hall, the other four Taoists left one after another.

Nan Kezi smiled bitterly and said, "Although these brothers and I have been practicing alchemy on the mountain for many years, I still understand the minimum human nature and worldly styles just now. Mr. Li seemed to have something to say."

Li Xuandu leaned on a bamboo stick and said softly: "Master Nan Kezi, don't worry too much. We will go through life and death together. I believe in Taoist Master. But if you say that Taoist Master may not like to listen to anything else. I have not had too much contact with several Taoist priests, so naturally I can’t talk about the word “faith”, and this “Five Qi True Pill” is a major event related to my realm, so I can’t treat it accidentally.”

Nan Kezi immediately remembered the words of the two brothers just now, saying that this "Five Qi True Pill" was handed over to Li Xuan without knowing whether it was a blessing or a disaster. Originally, it was thought that it was the unintentional words of the two brothers, but now it seems that it may not be. In this way, I couldn't help but feel a stern in my heart and said, "Mr. Li means..."

Li Xuandu said, "You must not have the intention to harm others, but you must be careful of others. Since my sixth junior brother can come to Danxia Peak first, it means that the incident has leaked the news. I believe it will not. He is a Taoist priest, so it is only possible that the others on Danxia Peak revealed the news. "

Nan Kezi's expression suddenly became solemn.

Li Xuandu smiled slightly: "Master Taoist, don't be too careful. I have no intention of blaming the Taoist. The Taoist priest refines the alchemy for me and does his best. The Taoist priest will work with the other four Taoist priests to refine the alchemy..."

Nan Kezi was shocked: "Does Mr. Li suspect that someone has tampered with the elixir? Please rest assured by Mr. Li. The old Taoist has participated in the entire process of elixir. It is absolutely impossible for someone to tamper with the elixir under the elixir."

Li Xuandu waved his hand and said, "Master, please feel at ease. I have never doubted Taoist priest, nor do I feel that someone has tampered with him during the alchemy process, because I have no grudges and grudges with you Taoist priests. I really want to cause trouble for me. It is because the word "profit" involves the word "profit" and you have to weigh the pros and cons. If you ruin the alchemy, you will make enemies with me. It is said that cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents. For people in our world, It is said that the same is true for the cultivation level of bad people, so this is the hatred of life and death. Therefore, I have predicted that the person will definitely not dare to offend me on the surface, so it is impossible to take action rashly during the alchemy process, because several others are He is an expert in alchemy. It is clear who has made mistakes at a glance."

Nan Kezi's face was slightly relaxed and she said, "Mr. Li is still careful in thinking."

Li Xuandu continued: "If you want to destroy my realm, there are two excellent opportunities to get out of your phone. One is when I take the pill and go into seclusion, and the other is when the pill is released and before I take the pill. I have been in the world for many years and have been well aware of two principles. People's hearts cannot withstand temptations, and even more so. Since there is no hatred, whether to take action or not is just a matter of thought, so I don't want to know who wants it. When I attacked me, I took a step forward, not only to prevent problems before they happened, but also to hope that the man would stop before he made a big mistake. Some things, no matter how they are, no one in the world will be perfect."

Nan Kezi couldn't help but praise: "Mr. Li really has the style of a kind man and a gentleman."

Li Xuandu said to himself: "The Taoist priest is wrong. In fact, it is because of the bad reputation. The master once said something that is safer than being respected and feared. If I were truly a kind and gentleman, some people would do things They will be unscrupulous because they know that I am reasonable, kind and forgive, and rules. Everything is in the box of rules, and what I will do is expected. But the Zifu Guest is different. If you say something wrong, you will draw your sword and kill someone. It is said that killing people will establish authority. This is the reason. Moreover, the behavior of the Zifu Guest cannot be judged by common sense. People are always afraid of the unknown, and they become afraid of fear. ”

Nan Kezi nodded frequently when he heard this.

Lu Yanbing thought about something.

Li Xuan turned his head slightly and said to Lu Yanbing, "I told my junior sister before that I often have the suspicion of not being open and upright enough, which is why I am afraid of me. reason."

Lu Yanbing did not refute and agreed to this statement.

Li Xuandu sighed: "The world is not only the fighting power of swords and swords, but also the fighting spirit of power and scheming. Looking at the past and present, there is nothing new in the world. I always say one thing in my mouth and do another. In other words, it is said: 'Use the way of kingly and domineering. 'It is known to practice kingly and actually domineering. Therefore, the first priority of the leader of a sect is to take into account his own interests, and the second priority is to take into account the interests of his own direct descendants and confidants, and the sect and The interests of ordinary disciples are placed last. This is true in the world and the temple, so there is the Taoist savage of the Taoist savage, and the people are suffering. The sage of the Assassin said: "The people are the most important, and the country is the next, and the king is the most important thing. Light. 'But in fact, the king is the most important, the country is the second, and the people are the most important."

Lu Yanbing heard Li Xuandu’s implication, his face turned slightly pale, and said, “What does senior brother mean? It means old man…”

Li Xuan shook his head, not saying anything.

Lu Yanbing glanced at Nan Kezi, and Nan Kezi understood and took the initiative to say goodbye and leave.

After only two brothers and sisters were left, Lu Yanbing whispered: "Senior brother, you and me are the only ones at this time. Can you tell me once? Whether you do these things, what is the purpose of the world or the people? As you said just now , one thing you say and another thing you do, what benefits can you get? ”

Li Xuandu was silent for a long time and said slowly, "The person I talked about is an emperor. In addition, there are also people in this world who are consistent in their words and deeds."

Lu Yanbing did not comment.

Li Xuandu said leisurely: "There are three levels of human beings: seeing a mountain as a mountain, seeing a mountain as not a mountain, and seeing a mountain as a mountain again."

"When I was a child, I admired the loyal ministers in the operas and stories very much. I felt that they dared to speak frankly to the emperor and dared to die. They were truly good people. At that time, I felt that the world was divided into black and white, and those who opposed the loyal ministers were naturally treacherous ministers."

"When I was a teenager, I stepped into the world of martial arts and considered myself an old man. I saw the fickleness and intrigue of the people in the world of martial arts. I felt that everyone was wearing a mask. The world was full of various calculations and factions. The clear ones were not necessarily clear, and the turbid ones were not necessarily clear. Those who are not turbid are not necessarily turbid. In short, good and evil are confused, right and wrong are not distinguished, black and white are not distinguished. So I think everything must be a life-and-death struggle, and I must step on the corpses of my enemies to achieve the so-called great cause. Even if the other party is your former benefactor or your good friend, as long as he blocks your way, he must be eliminated. This is how to kill and kill decisively, and this is how a great leader should be. At the same time, I began to feel that those loyal ministers are just like this, not knowing their own abilities, talking nonsense and harming the country, and only playing with their mouths. The so-called righteous words are just to seek reputation, and they are hypocritical people. "

Li Xuandu paused and sighed: "Later, I experienced all kinds of joys and sorrows, After experiencing ups and downs, I finally discovered that those people who I once thought were overconfident, they knew that the road ahead was bumpy and difficult, but they never stopped, and for that almost impossible goal, they really relied on their passion and never stopped until their death. During this period, some people may have been rich and prosperous and lived a stable life just by stopping, but they didn't. Some people clearly knew that the general trend was like this, but they still lived towards death and faced it calmly. You think they are hypocrites, but they have been pretending to be gentlemen all their lives. You may think they are trying to gain a reputation, but With what they have done, they deserve to be remembered in history. "

Li Xuandu looked at Lu Yanbing and said earnestly: "Sometimes, when you look back, you realize that what you thought was a smart plan was just a mistake. Even if you can gain power for a while, you will eventually end up in disgrace, and even bring disaster to your descendants, and there is no way back. "

"The previous dynasty, the Jin Dynasty, gained the country by improper means. How it gained the country, it will lose the country in the same way. "

Li Xuandu suddenly raised his voice: "The Emperor Taizu of this dynasty rose from the end of the green duckweed, and worked hard to build a comrade-in-arms with you. Where is he now?"

Lu Yanbing was stunned and didn't know what to say.

Li Xuandu pointed to his chest: "In the history books, in people's hearts."

Lu Yanbing subconsciously held his breath.

Li Xuandu murmured: "Ten years of drinking ice can hardly cool the hot blood. "
