Taiping Inn

Li Rujian fell from the air to the ground, was silent for a long time, and slowly spoke, "This... is the 'human world'?"

Li Xuandu nodded and said, "Yes."

A wry smile appeared on Li Rujian's dull face: "I'm overestimating my abilities. It turns out that Mr. Fourth has never set out his sword, but he has always kept his face for me. But I have always been greedy and have no idea that the world is thick."

Li Xuandu said: "It's not a question. I have indeed taken advantage of the sword weapon with the 'human world'."

Li Rujian shook the "golden spirit" in his hand, accompanied by the continuous sound of shattering, and it broke into small square pieces of wood, each of which was the same size, and it was no different at all.

Li Xuandu continued: "Although I used a side-minded method, I had to do it. Compared with the 'Thirteen Swords of Taiyin' and the 'Thirty-Six Swords of Beidou', the 'Thirteen Swords of Taiyin' are easy to achieve quickly. The effect is very fast. If it is in the innate realm, it must be that the "Thirteen Swords of Taiyin" is more powerful; if it is returned to the true realm, it will have its own strengths and it is difficult to distinguish between the superiors and inferiors; if it is to reach the realm of heaven and man, the "Thirty-Six Swords of Beidou" 'The power gradually became stronger and stronger; when he reached the realm of creation of heaven and man, the Thirteen Swords of Taiyin could no longer bear the 'Thirty-Six Swords of Beidou'. "

"I had only the innate realm at that time and was in danger, so I had to use it. But you are already in the realm of heaven and man. As long as you focus on the 'Thirty-Six Sword Art of Beidou', even if you can't look down on the world like the old sect leader, It is enough to be as rampant as Mr. II, why should I learn from other schools?”

Li Rujian lowered his head and remained silent.

At this time, Li Xuandu had already put away the "world", carried his hands on his back, and continued, "The so-called "projection is raised and the eyes are opened", what is the outline and what is the sight, you must clearly distinguish it. I have heard people say that you I am a sword tycoon, so your purpose is to practice swords. I am different from that. Practicing swords is just my means, not my purpose. In order to achieve the goal, you can use various means, not just limited to the sword path, so I can You can't read the various schools."

Li Rujian raised his head and sighed, "I understand."

Li Xuan turned around and said, "If you understand, follow me."

Li Rujian threw away the hilt of the "Golden Spirit" sword in his hand, reached out to capture the "Qingchi" that fell to the ground with his qi, no longer bear the sword, but instead changed to a hanging sword. Then he looked at Li Xuandu's back and hesitated for a moment. , followed closely.

The two walked out of the dense forest and returned to the mountain road. At this time, Lu Yanbing was already at the mountain gate and gave a bow: "Senior Brother."

Li Xuandu reached out and pressed him down, indicating that Lu Yanbing didn't have to be so polite, and said to the two of them: "Mr. Fifth, the head of Tianjian Hall, I think they are all old acquaintances, so I don't need to introduce them again. Please follow me. .”

After Lu Yanbing and Li Rujian nodded to each other, they followed Li Xuan to the empty Sanqing Hall.

Although this place is the territory of Donghua Sect, the Donghua Sect had no choice but to take the breath of Qing Wei Sect, so how could they dare to stop the three of them? There were three cushions in front of the statue of the Sanqing Ancestor. Li Xuan sat on the cushion in the center and reached out to show his hand. The two sat on their sides and waited until they took their seats, and said, "I want to go to Penglai Island. I wonder what you two think?"

Lu Yanbing hesitated for a moment and said, "The old man goes out once every day on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. If the senior brother wants to go, he will be elected as an auspicious day, otherwise he may not be able to see the old man."

Li Xuandu pressed his hands on his knees and said, "What I want to know is who is responsible for the guardians of Penglai Island now?"

If the Qing Weizong was said to be a small court and the old sect leader was an emperor, then the Penglai Island where the old sect leader was in seclusion was equivalent to the deep palace and was highly defensive.

With the cultivation level of the old sect leader, there is no need to have a guard at all, so the function of these Penglai Island guards is not to protect people, but to block guests. The guests they block are not ordinary guests, and they usually have high enough status. , he could climb Penglai Island, but he was the person the old sect leader did not want to see for the time being, or the person he did not want to see.

Lu Yanbing whispered: "The guards of Penglai Island have always been under the responsibility of Tiankui Hall, and the current leader of Tiankui Hall is Li Rushi."

Li Xuandu said "ah", with a bit of emotion: "Shi Li Ru, I remember that although he is the confidant of the old sect leader, he is quite close to Mr. Third."

Lu Yanbing nodded and said, "Yes."

Li Xuandu turned to Li Rujian and asked knowingly, "Master of Rujian Hall, who has been assigned by you when you came here?"

Because most of the hall owners in the Qingwei Sect have the surname Li, they are not called by their surnames, but by their names.

Li Rujian replied, "It's the third wife."

Li Xuandu pointed his index finger at his knees and said, "The third brother is on the left and the third wife is on the right. It is really a couple who work together. It is a sharp way to cut gold. It seems that I am the 'gold'."

Lu Yanbing and Li Rujian were all silent.

Li Xuandu asked again, "Where is Li Rushi?"

Lu Yanbing hesitated for a moment and didn't say anything.

Li Rujian didn't care about these things and said bluntly: "If I remember correctly, the Lord Rushi has been sent to the Kuye Island in the Beihai territory. Kuye Island is not among the 108 islands, and it has just been developed in recent years. One of the islands is rare. Because the shape of the entire island is similar to the dead leaves, it is named the Death Leaf Island. It was sent there and said it was the island owner, but it is actually no different from being exiled."

Li Xuandu looked at Lu Yanbing and asked softly, "Junior Sister Lu, is that true?"

Lu Yanbing hesitated for a moment and nodded, "This is the third year of Tianbao. Before Li Rushi set off, he wanted to say goodbye to his senior brother, but he was blocked outside the door. Do you know?"

Li Xuandu shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Li Xuandu sighed: "No wonder I haven't seen him for several years. It seems that he has been implicated by me."

Li Rujian said: "Mr. Rushi has a straight character. After Mr. Four closed the door, Mr. Three tried to recruit Master Rushi several times, but Master Rushi refused. Therefore, Master Rushi was exiled to Dead Leaf Island the following year."

Li Xuandu patted his knees lightly and smiled bitterly. He didn't comment too much on this matter, but said: "Everyone says that Master Rujian is a sword fanatic. I didn't expect that Master Rujian would pay attention to these things."

Li Rujian said with a stern face: "I have been in the Thirty-Six Halls for a long time. I have learned from what I have seen and heard. I understand even if I don't understand. Besides, if I don't understand at all, I'm afraid I won't know how I died."

Li Xuandu fell into deep thought. After a moment, he asked, "Where will the Rujian Hall Master go next? Will he return to the Tianjian Hall?"

Li Rujian shook his head and said, "Danxia Peak is great. I plan to retreat here for a while. From now on, I will only use the 'Qingchi' sword."

Li Xuandu stood up and said, "In that case, I will go down the mountain with Mr. Wu first. Mr. Wu has a distinguished guest to receive, and I have other things to do."

Lu Yanbing and Li Rujian stood up at the same time. Li Rujian bowed respectfully and said, "Farewell, Mr. Four and Mr. Five."
