Taiping Inn
Chapter 86: Difficulty in Finding the Way
Li Xuandu's figure was like the wind, stepping on the treetops of the dense forests in the mountains, like a great master of the heavenly realm riding the wind.
He still held the bamboo stick given by Nan Kezi in his hand. After walking for a while, Li Xuandu stopped on the crown of a tall tree and looked into the distance.
All he could see was the mountains and forests. Not to mention people, even the mountain roads were invisible. Even if there was an inn nearby, it would probably be hidden in the mountains and forests. At this time, Li Xuandu was grateful for the goodness of the alchemists. Although the alchemists were not as good as the warriors in fighting against others, they were far better than the warriors in other places, such as looking for people, or looking for qi, or even rushing on the road.
If Yan Feiqing, who was at the same level, was here, he would definitely be able to find the location of the inn in a very short time based on the residual breath of the two corpses, and then open the "Yin Yang Gate" and arrive in an instant, so there would be no need to look for a needle in a haystack like him.
Li Xuandu fell from the tree and began to walk. While walking, he kept hitting the ground with the bamboo stick in his hand. With the bamboo stick landing as the center, circles of Qi ripples spread out. This was the method he realized during the days when he was blind. He used the feedback of Qi ripples to judge the surrounding movements. People are different from animals, and plants and buildings are different. In the past, Li Xuandu could only explore a hundred feet in radius, but now Li Xuandu can explore nearly ten miles with Qi. However, this move consumes a lot of Qi, and even Li Xuandu can't maintain it for too long.
In the final analysis, this is a stupid method, and it is also a helpless method.
Speaking of which, this is also Han Yaoyue's mistake. He wanted to lure Li Xuandu here. Through the many ears and eyes of Qingwei Sect distributed throughout Qizhou, he deduced that Li Xuandu must pass through the road, and hung the two bodies of Taiping Inn here, which did leave clues. But he obviously miscalculated many details. Although Li Xuandu is an old man, he is not a detective expert in the public sector. It is difficult to completely unify the time required from investigating clues to arriving at the inn with the time when Qin Daofang and his party arrived at the inn. Han Yaoyue is not an omniscient immortal, and it is impossible for him to calculate everything perfectly, so the current situation has become that the inn has begun to fight to the death, but Li Xuandu has not yet found where the inn is.
In this situation, only Han Yaoyue has a general view of the overall situation. Qingyang Sect and Qingluan Guard only know half of the situation, so Qingyang Sect’s assassination of Qin Daofang is true, and they will not hold back at all, let alone leave time to wait for Li Xuandu to come. Because of this, the appearance of Bai Juan is an absolute surprise for Han Yaoyue. It not only brings him the "deceiving the square and deceiving the truth" that he has been thinking about, but also gives him the opportunity to delay time. When Li Xuandu comes, he can take both together, which is killing two birds with one stone.
Of course, Li Xuandu may not come.
However, Han Yaoyue had expected this result. Even if Li Xuandu was a fool and did not find the inn, or changed the route temporarily, and did not even encounter the two corpses, he had a way to deal with it. He had already contacted Tingfeng Tower. As long as Qin Daofang died, he would spread rumors in the martial arts world, so that the good reputation accumulated by this Purple Mansion Sword Immortal during the Imperial Capital Incident would be lost in one day. The so-called martial arts rumors are never born out of thin air, nor are they completely fabricated. Only children tell lies. The really powerful rumors are a mixture of truth and lies. It is best to have nine truths and one falsehood, so that it is difficult to distinguish between the true and the false.
By that time, Qin Daofang's death was true, and Li Xuandu really appeared in Qizhou, but it was just yellow mud falling on his crotch, and it was hard to defend himself.
In this regard, Tingfeng Tower is an expert.
Tingfeng Tower is a businessman who only recognizes silver, not affection.
Li Xuan knew nothing about these things. He just felt that something was unusual. Although the Jianghu was not a good place, it was also a place where everything was clear. There was no killing without reason. Even if there were madmen who killed people indiscriminately, no matter they were righteous or evil, they would join forces to kill them, because the madmen broke the most important rules of the Jianghu. There is no order without rules. The Jianghu despised the king's law and the rules of the court. It was not that the Jianghu had no rules. On the contrary, it was because the Jianghu had its own rules that it rejected the rules of the court.
It was also because of this that there were traces of killing in the Jianghu. It was for love, hatred, profit, to kill people to silence them, or just because they were in the way. Taiping Sect had closed the mountains and temples in recent years, and there were not many enemies. Moreover, these two people were probably not important figures in Taiping Sect. If it was because of personal hatred, it was not impossible. But Li Xuan always felt vaguely that things were not that simple. He could not tell the specific reason. It was just an instinctive intuition about danger after walking in the Jianghu for many years.
Li Xuandu was able to escape death several times in the past, mostly relying on this intuition. In fact, this intuition is not unique to him. The great master of the Heavenly Man Realm calls it "the cicada knows before the golden wind moves", which is a mysterious perception of heaven and earth. The higher the realm, the sharper and clearer this intuition becomes. It is said that after reaching the realm of immortality, one can even see certain changes in the future, which is extremely magical and mysterious. However, even the earthly immortals in the realm of immortality cannot be accurate every time.
In the past, Li Xuandu would never deliberately avoid such things when he encountered them. The reason is very simple. You can avoid it on the first day, but not on the fifteenth day. Instead of hiding, it is better to dig deep, find out the person behind the plot, and then kill him.
Of course, this faces another problem: what if you can't beat him? It's easy to deal with. Just pretend to be a grandson and admit your defeat. After all, thirty years in the east and thirty years in the west, don't bully the poor young man.
In the world, it is not embarrassing to admit defeat. The key is who can laugh to the end. When he was in Heshuo, Jiangbei, Li Xuan was facing the fierce heroes of Jiangbei. However, he did not fight to the end. Instead, he was chased by Jiangbei and ran away in a hurry, which was extremely embarrassed. If it were just to end here, Li Xuan They may be a joke in the world, but the key is that when he was chased, he broke through the realm and went back to fight back, so all the previous embarrassment was not worth mentioning.
People in the world only look at the results.
He was in a mess before, but later he was promoted step by step and praised the world, and this is the case with the Sword Immortal of the Purple Palace.
He was so glorious before, but later he fell into dust and was worthless, and the same was true for the Purple Palace Sword Immortal.
He was silent before, but later he made a comeback, and he was arrogant at first and respectful at the end, and Li Xuan was still the same.
Li Xuan remembers that when he first met Zhang Luanshan, Zhang Luanshan once said: "People in the world are all women who laugh. An old prostitute is good at the end of his life, and fireworks are not hindered in his life, and a chaste woman has lost her white hair, and she has been in a state of pain for half of her life. Fireworks and half of life are not important, the key is to look at the results."
Li Xuandu didn't understand this words deeply at that time, but now it is unforgettable.
At this moment, Li Xuandu suddenly stopped and pressed the bamboo stick against the ground with the bamboo stick. The bamboo stick was slightly vibrated. Judging from his experience, this was not a ground movement, but someone stepped on the ground with great cultivation.
Li Xuandu whispered to himself: "Finally found it."
