Taiping Inn

Although there were no guards at this Bajing Villa, and even the guards of Tiankui Hall were temporarily dismissed by Li Daoxu, Li Xuandu had no intention of taking the opportunity to escape. It was not because Li Daoxu had a divine power, nor because the area around Penglai Island was under the influence of Qingwei Sect, but because his master believed in him, did not restrict him, and gave him enough face, so he naturally had to treat his master with sincerity. If Li Xuandu escaped at this time, Li Rushi and others would definitely do their best to catch up, and at that time he would be shameless, which was in line with the saying "Face is given by others, but face is lost by oneself".

Some people may think that Li Xuandu is pedantic and does not know how to adapt, but for some things, there is only one way to go. If everyone in the world is smart and no one takes it, what will happen? Just like the Golden Horde marched southwards and the land of China sank, if there were only smart people in the world, seeing the invincibility of the Golden Horde army, they would have surrendered to save their lives. I am afraid that the entire China would have become the slaves of the Golden Horde, generation after generation, and never be able to turn over.

Some things have to be done by someone. The evil of human nature is that when you don't do it yourself, someone else does it, and you jump out to question those who do it, and use your own dark thoughts to speculate on them, thinking that they are trying to gain fame, that they are great fakes, and that they are actually judging others by their own mean hearts.

At the end of the previous dynasty, the Jin Dynasty, there was a general who was the pillar of the court. He was defeated and captured when resisting the Golden Horde army, and then surrendered to the Golden Horde. He was immediately appointed by the Golden Horde royal court and went to Jiangnan as the governor-general of military affairs to pacify the south. Later, when Emperor Taizu of the Great Wei Dynasty raised his army, the Golden Horde army, after being baptized by the glamorous world of the Central Plains, was no longer as brave as it was in the past. The army was defeated like a mountain, and the people in the royal court were in turmoil. Only this commander-in-chief resisted with all his strength, and was the most determined, even more than the Golden Horde Khan.

When Li Xuandu was young, he read history and didn't understand this. It was not until he talked about this with Zhang Baigui inadvertently that Zhang Baigui revealed the secret. It was not a "loyalty to the emperor". Don't forget that he was an important official of the Great Jin Dynasty. If he was really a loyal person, he would rather die than surrender after the defeat, but he surrendered, which shows that he was not a loyal person.

It is human nature to cherish one's body and fear death. He didn't want to die, which was nothing and was beyond reproach. But he shouldn't be an accomplice to the tiger, and turned around to help the Golden Horde to bring disaster to the Central Plains.

This person was unwilling to be loyal to the court of his own clan, so how could he be loyal to a foreign race? It's just for his own selfish interests. If all the people in the Central Plains become slaves of the Golden Horde, then no one will blame the commander-in-chief for his treason. After all, the eldest brother does not laugh at the second brother, and after the Golden Horde gains the world, he will be a hero of the Golden Horde. But if the Golden Horde loses the world, he will be nailed to the pillar of shame in the history books and will be infamous for thousands of years. Therefore, this commander-in-chief is the most dedicated to the Golden Horde. He is devoted and loyal. He is not for the Golden Horde, but for himself. For his own reputation, he is willing to drag the entire Shenzhou Central Plains into the water. It is really the first-class sinister intention.

Now the situation of Qingwei Sect is the same. Everyone is silent, that is, standing on the same line, and no one is higher than anyone else. But Li Xuandu stood up and spoke, which made Li Xuandu stand out. In the contrast with Li Xuandu, others seem even more unbearable. To make an inappropriate analogy, a tabletop is covered with dust, which will not feel anything, but if you wipe the dust off one place, the dust around it will be a bit dazzling. Either wipe all the dust clean, or dust the clean place again. Relatively speaking, the latter is naturally simpler, which is: if you are superior to others, everyone will definitely criticize you.

If Li Daoxu handed Li Xuandu over to Li Rushi for disposal, Li Xuandu would have to die. Now that he handed Li Xuandu over to Zhang Haishi for disposal, he still left Li Xuandu a way out.

At this point, it is useless for Li Xuandu to worry and be anxious. He is also a big-hearted person, so he simply stopped worrying about these things. Fortunately, he has a beautiful woman by his side, so that he will not be tortured in the day waiting for tomorrow.

When Li Xuandu was still young, this Bajing Courtyard was not a forbidden place. Just like when children are young, they live with their parents and move out to start their own families when they grow up, Li Xuandu also lived in this Bajing Courtyard when he was young, and this small courtyard was his residence. In addition to the courtyard, there are four rooms, namely the living room, the quiet room, the living room and the study. At that time, there were many servants in the Bajing Courtyard, responsible for cooking and cleaning. But later, all the servants were driven out, and only Li Daoxu was left.

Qin Su was very curious when she came to the place where Li Xuandu lived when he was a child. Li Xuandu hadn't been here for many years. Now he revisited the old place. Things have changed and people have changed. He was very emotional and happy to accompany Qin Su to visit this place.

The two came from the living room to the living room, but saw only a bed, a round table and two embroidered cushions, which were already covered with dust. Obviously, no one had been here for many years. It was nothing surprising. They came out of the living room and walked along a long corridor with rain eaves to the study.

As soon as he entered the study, Qin Su's eyes lit up. The first thing that caught his eye was a red sandalwood table with a shelf on it, which was usually used to place swords and knives, but there was a green jade flute placed horizontally on it.

Qin Su was a person who loved music, so he was naturally happy to see musical instruments. He walked forward and picked up the jade flute. It felt a little heavy in his hand, but it was not the weight that a jade flute should have.

Li Xuandu smiled slightly, took the jade flute from her hand, held one end, and pulled it gently, and the jade flute was two points, revealing a shiny cold light, which turned out to be a short sword.

Qin Su flattened her mouth and said in a disappointment: "I thought you could play the flute, so we can play a song together."

Li Xuandu smiled and said, "You used to say that I was childish and childish. Have you ever noticed that you have become a very young woman recently? When I first met you, you were not like this. You were very big women at that time."

Qin Su did not refute, but just glared at him and turned to the desk.

There are not many strange things on the desk, it is nothing more than pens, ink, paper, inkstone, and pen washing, pen holder, paperweight and other things. Qin Su skipped directly and came to the bookshelf. He saw that there was a place on the bookshelf. She casually took out one of many books of different thicknesses, and the words "The Legend of Beidou Thirty-Six Swords" were written on it, and then she took out two more books, which read "Detailed Explanation of Xuanwei Zhenzhi" respectively. The first chapter of the Circular Strategy Method" and "Notes on the Sword-Resistance Technique", I couldn't help but say strikingly: "The books here are not all secrets of martial arts, right?"

Li Xuandu nodded and said, "It's almost the same, there are some original secrets."

Qin Su couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the bookshelf that occupied most of the walls.

The secret book is different from the secret book. If some secret book is not annotated, people with low realm cannot understand it at all. There are also some secret book that must be combined with other skills of this sect to successfully practice. The most famous example is the Six Sutras of Xuannv Sect, which lacks One cannot. If you have secrets but do not have the corresponding realm and practice forcibly, it is difficult to escape the fate of being possessed by the devil. At the least, your cultivation will be greatly damaged, and at the worst, your life will be in danger. But the secret book here has so many annotations and numbers, which has obviously been sorted out. It seems that it was from the old sword god. If it were put on the world, I wonder how many people would fight. But now they are like they have been forgotten, placed in this study where no one has stepped foot.

Li Xuandu waved his sleeves to dissipate the dust on the chair behind the desk, sat alone on the chair, and said, "Looking back now, my time in learning was still extremely boring and difficult. Later, I went out to travel around the world. Although it was dangerous, I also had many postures. It’s colorful, far from being compared to when I was a kid.”

Qin Su put the books in his hand back and paced in the study with his hands behind his back: "I didn't feel bored when I was a child. If I want to practice martial arts, I will practice martial arts. If I don't want to practice martial arts, I will learn piano, or read or play chess. If I don't want to practice martial arts, I will still be able to do so. My dad won't force me to go out for a walk."

"Actually, no one forced me." Li Xuandu sighed, "If you have to say that someone forced me, then the situation of Qingwei Sect is forcing me. Lao Wu has been playing tricks since he was a child, and then you also saw that she is in the sect. The status inside has never been higher or lower, and it’s okay to be bullied by the senior brothers…”

When he said this, Li Xuan remembered the fight and fighting between him and Lu Yanbing, and couldn't help but smile, and then continued, "Even the junior brother can press on her head to act as a mighty man. You said that in her heart I don't believe it at all, but what if I have resentment? I'm not as good as others. Who can I blame? I have understood this truth since I was a very young child, so I dare not relax at all, so I have today's I."

Qin Su came behind Li Xuandu, gently hugged her from behind, and asked with a smile: "Good Xuan'er, are you still suffering now?"

Li Xuan smiled and said, "When did I suffer? I can get the secrets that countless people in the world want, and I can roam unscrupulously at a young age. If this is still a pity, I am afraid that God will kill me with a thunder. Some people are clearly Ninety-nine percent of the people in the world should be good, just because they have a slight flaw, or they have lost their close relatives, or they have lost their loved ones, so they feel that their life is miserable. The heavens bear me and I often say this to you, that is not a pity. That's called pretentiousness and lack of greed."

When the words fell, a lightning bolt from outside illuminated the sky, followed by a thunderclap, visible to the naked eye, making the room lit up, as if it was falling outside the door.

The sound of heavy rain became more and more intense with the thunder.

At this time, except for the heavy rain, there were only two people in the entire Eight Scenic Gardens. Qin Su's courage became much bigger invisibly. She gently hugged Li Xuandu's neck and said softly: "Where are you now? You are obviously kind-hearted. , but no one appreciates it, and you still have to blame you for meddling in other people's business. Don't you feel uncomfortable? I think you are suffering."

Li Xuandu held her hand and chuckled, "But the subtle pain, if you feel sorry for me, that's nothing."

Qin Su put her chin on Li Xuandu's head: "You are so heartless."
