Taiping Inn

Li Xuandu looked at it for a moment, then suddenly turned his head and said, "Let's go over and take a look."

Shen Changsheng was in a hurry and wanted to turn the horse's head, but his mount was angry at this time and stood there. Shen Changsheng had no choice but to turn over and dismount, pull the reins and follow Li Xuandu behind him.

Shen Changsheng walked a few steps, came to Li Xuandu and asked, "Mr. Li, didn't you just say that gentry are all bad people? Why do you still have to help them?"

Li Xuandu said: "Changsheng, you have to remember one sentence: your position determines what you say. What position you stand on will do. If you are a gentry, you will also act like these gentry. , and you won't think it's inappropriate. But if you stand on the standpoint of the people, then these gentry are the most sinful people, so it depends on how you choose your own position. Only by having a standpoint can you have your own opinion and go Solve the problem.”

Shen Changsheng thought for a while and hesitated: "Mr. Li means, are you standing on the standpoint of the people?"

Li Xuan smiled but did not answer, and turned to say, "Some things cannot be generalized by partiality, and they cannot be generalized by totality. They should be viewed independently. Take the right and evil paths as an example. You cannot have scum in the right path. Then you should regard all the people in the right way as hypocrites, and you should not regard all the people in the wrong way as people in the right way as people in the right way as people in the right way. On the other hand, you should not regard all the people in the right way as the people in the right way as the people in the right way as the people in the right way. All the people in the right path are regarded as true gentlemen, and they cannot regard all the people in the wrong path as despicable because of the name of evil path. This is all wrong. You must learn to look at it separately and go to it yourself. Distinguish. Just like today, you cannot deny all gentry because of the evil of the entire gentry class, nor can you confirm the entire gentry class because of the goodness of individual gentry. Do you understand?”

Shen Changsheng was dizzy when he heard it, but he roughly understood it and nodded with emphasis.

Li Xuandu smiled slightly: "It's good if you understand, so whether they are powerful or the people, it has nothing to do with our help. If you take a step back, even if this family is not a good person, why are the children?"

Shen Changsheng whispered: "We are not children anymore."

Li Xuan laughed it off.

When Li Xuandu approached the convoy, an escort immediately looked at the two of them vigilantly and blocked their way.

"It's safe and peaceful." Li Xuandu stopped and stood up: "We are disciples of Taiping Sect, and we are under Li Xuance." Then he stretched out his hand and pointed at Shen Changsheng beside him, and said without changing his face: "This is me Junior brother Shen Changsheng. Seeing that you seem to be in trouble, I came to ask if there is any place in need of help."

Several guards were suddenly a little surprised. After all, those who were walking in the world could not know the fierce and domineering Wudao Sect, or the incredible Yin-Yang Sect, or even the Zhengyi Sect, which was known as the Taoist ancestral home, but only Only we must know about Taiping Sect. To be fair, it is difficult to know about Taiping Sect without knowing Taiping Sect.

Obviously, this was not something that several guards could decide. Someone immediately went to report it. After a moment, a middle-aged man came with an old man.

The middle-aged man was covered in bookish spirit. Although he could not hide his anxiety on his face, he remained calm and composed. The old man had his eyes shining with his temples high. Although due to his old age, his qi and blood were inevitably exhausted and his strength was no longer as strong as before, his qi cultivation was due to his long-term practice. It is more sophisticated than when I was young.

The middle-aged man bowed to Li Xuandu and said, "I have met two masters of Taiping Sect in the Lower Xiao Qing.

Li Xuan had already turned over and dismounted, clasped his fists and bowed: "Dare you ask Mr. Xiao, is it Xiao of Langya Palace?"

Xiao Qing showed a little embarrassed look on his face and said, "I am the one in Beihai Fang Xiao."

Li Xuan immediately understood.

The Xiao family of Langya Prefecture has been passed down for a long time, far surpassing the Pei family of Lanling Prefecture, so there are six branches, namely the Northern Ancestor House, the Southern Ancestor House, the Xijing House, the Imperial Beijing House, the Beihai House, and the Langya House. These six Xiao houses are Xiao. The family originated from the same ancestor, but after more than a thousand years of inheritance, they are relatively distant from each other. Each has one ancestor, saying that it is one lineage and one lineage, and it is not one lineage and not one lineage.

Xiao Yun and Xiao Chi are the father and son of Langya, Xiao Qing is the Beihai house, while Xiao Shiyu comes from the Beizu House. However, due to an accident, the Beizu House has completely failed, so Xiao Shiyu is here. When he was young, he lived in the Xiao family of Langya Palace. He was Xiao Yun's cousin and a member of the clan of half of Langya House. He was still bullied by others. What kind of grudges do he have in this way make Xiao Shiyu and Langya House become enemies. , not even Li Xuan can know.

When the Qingyang Sect caused chaos in Qizhou, Beihai Prefecture was the first to fall, so it was reasonable that Xiao Qing, the head of the Xiao family in Beihai Fang, fled to another state.

Li Xuandu asked, "I dare to ask Mr. Xiao, what happened in the car? I noticed some abnormalities just now, but they disappeared in a flash. I couldn't be sure, so I came to ask each other."

A hint of surprise flashed across the face of the old man beside Xiao Qing, and he couldn't help but believe in the young man who claimed to be a disciple of Taiping Sect. At this time, Xiao Qing was also helpless and smiled bitterly: "I'm going to hide it from you. Yes, the little girl is missing."

Li Xuan immediately remembered the little girl who had just lifted the curtains, and his mind sank: "If Mr. Xiao trusts me, can he lead me over and see the situation?"

Seeing that the old man beside him had no objection, Xiao Qing said, "Then I'll help you two. Xiao thanked me first. Please follow me."

Li Xuandu and Shen Changsheng followed Xiao Qing to a carriage. It was the carriage that the little girl was riding just now. Before she could get into the carriage, she could ask about the strong smell of blood.

However, Li Xuan is used to seeing bloody people, so he will naturally not be scared. When Shen Changsheng was at Taiping Inn, he also did the job of burying corpses. In addition, the tragic situation he had seen in Shuzhou later was unknown. I wasn't afraid of it, but I was just secretly worried about the cute little girl.

Li Xuandu stepped into the coachman's position and lifted the curtain. He saw that there were only two corpses in the car, one old and one young. The old one should be the nurses of wealthy families, who were responsible for teaching the ladies various rules and etiquette. The young one is a personal maid who takes care of the little girl's daily life. At this time, both of them were cut open their throats, and blood flowed all over the ground. What's even more strange is that there was no look of horror on their faces, but instead showed a strange smile. There was even a residual left on the maid's face. The blush seemed to have seen something wonderful, which made the two of them forget their lives and deaths.

Li Xuandu's nose wings slightly twitched, and there was a faint fragrance mixed with the female body and powder fragrance in the carriage.

Shen Changsheng said nervously, "Li Xian... Senior Brother, what did you see?"

Li Xuandu pondered for a moment: "If what I expected was right, this should be the 'soul-suppressing fragrance', which is one of the 'eight magical powers' of my Taiping Sect."

The old man was shocked and subconsciously pressed the weapon on his waist and took a posture that he could take action at any time.

Li Xuandu waved his hand and said, "Don't be nervous. Those who use Taiping Sect's methods may not be the people of Taiping Sect. The so-called "Eight Divine Powers" correspond to Gan, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun, and Dui. This is the innate The Eight Trigrams are also secretly combined with the eight gates in Qimen Dunjia, namely: Xiu, Sheng, Shu, Du, Jing, Death, Shock, and Kai. It is not only a method of cultivation, but also eight types of objects, such as the "phoenix-eyed son", Not only is it commonly used by Taiping Sect, but it is also equipped by the imperial army."

Hearing this, the old man's hostility was greatly reduced, and he clasped his fists and said, "It's the little old man who was reckless."

Li Xuandu asked, "But there are other things?"

Xiao Qing sighed, took out a piece of plain paper from her sleeve, and said, "The little girl's single name is the word 'bamboo'. When I realized that something was wrong and entered the carriage, I found that the bamboo was gone, and this was the only one."

Li Xuandu took the su script and saw it read: "I'm seeing Ling Yuan, who is talented and has a bone on her back. She is really the best-selling and beautiful jade, and she has a fate with me, so she accepted it as a disciple and followed her. I left and practiced outside the world from now on and realized the great way. Isn’t it beautiful? You don’t have to thank you, good people are nameless.”

This plain paper was not written in writing ink, but was written in someone's fingers dipped in blood. It was obviously a temporary idea, not a preparatory plan. Then the two of them might die from this temporary idea.

Li Xuandu's eyes changed slightly: "It's such a big tone to understand the great way."
