Taiping Inn

The rivers and lakes are very large, covering the two capitals and 19 states, from Liaodong to Lingnan, from the imperial capital to Xijing, and within the four seas, there are rivers and lakes everywhere. But the top-level world is very small, and only a few people can count, but there are only more than a hundred people. The relationships between these hundred people are complicated, just like a huge spider web. Everyone is online and can get some old friends. friendship. Take Li Xuandu and Bai Xiushang as an example. They were originally irrelevant. But if you really want to discuss it in detail, Li Xuandu would not be able to call him mother-in-law in the future. After all, there is no rule that the sect leader cannot get married. Qin Qing has been a widower for many years because of his daughter. After his daughter got married, it was reasonable to remarry him again. By then, Bai Xiushang would have become Li Xuandu's mother-in-law.

Of course, this is not Li Xuandu's unreasonable guess, but Bai Xiushang's subtle attitude towards Li Xuandu made Li Xuan think deeply in this direction. Although the women of Cihang Sect are good at dancing and are not as straight and close as those of the Xuannv Sect, with Bai Xiushang's identity, this kind of closeness is a bit too much. But if Li Xuan treats Bai Xiushang as an elder, this kind of closeness will become just right. Perhaps this is what the mother-in-law treats her son-in-law.

Whenever he thinks of this, Li Xuan always feels that things in the world are so absurd.

As for the marriage between Li Xuandu and Qin Su, why no one stopped or opposed it, they were happy to see it. The key lies in the four words "When you cooperate, you will benefit from it."

From Qin Su's perspective, her temperament is too indifferent, she is wandering outside the world, and is devoted to the mountains and rivers. If she wants to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the family sect in the future, she will probably have to doubt her, so she needs a strong enough The husband supported him from the side, but if he was the leader of the sect like Li Yuanying and Yan Feiqing, he was worried about occupying the nest. In this regard, no one was more suitable than Li Xuan.

For Li Xuandu, after Li Xuandu lost power, he had no shortage of identity, status and fame. Being a transcendent hermit who sent love to mountains and rivers is enough, but if you want to do something, you lack the two most important things. Things are both money and power. Qin Su is known as "Miss Qin" in the martial arts world. He is the most inseparable of these two things. If Li Xuan can marry Qin Su, he will have the help of his wife and can help him. Show your ambitions.

In other words, the two just complement each other.

It is hard to say that Li Xuandu and Qin Su have not considered this in the process of acquaintance. After all, they are not young and are not young men in the world. If they have never thought about it at all, they are deceiving themselves, but they really want to. It would be too low to say that the two chose each other purely for their own interests. As the two of them, even if they don’t get married, they won’t be able to do anything, because Qin Qing would not force Qin Su, and Li Xuan was not Li Daoxu, who was poor and could only get married. There is no need for the two to compromise, nor do they need to flatter each other. The key is whether the two are willing.

Just like a person has many faces, it is not just a face. It is definitely not the same reason for the relationship between two people, whether it is good or bad. It has feelings and benefits. If the relationship and interests conflict, you must consider the pros and cons, and only by giving up can you gain. If the two do not conflict, it is a perfect match for heaven.

From this point of view, Li Xuandu and Qin Su can really be called a match made by heaven.

Li Xuandu stayed at Taiping Inn for a night. The next day, a sword light fell from the sky and landed in the inn. After the sword light dissipated, a woman in white clothes appeared, carrying a sword behind her back, and her hair was tied with a high crown. It was like a white-clothed Guanyin, who was Bai Xiushang, the leader of Cihang Sect.

Li Xuandu walked out of the lobby and greeted Bai Xiushang.

Bai Xiushang apologized: "Some chores in the sect need to be handled. I've been waiting for a few days later. I've been waiting for Zifu for a long time."

Li Xuandu smiled and said, "I haven't waited for a long time. I just arrived yesterday. I have met Mrs. Lu, and she has no objection. If Master Bai had nothing else to do, we will climb the mountain together now. Mrs. Lu has already arranged it. A special person is waiting."

Bai Xiushang nodded: "Okay."

Li Xuan hesitated for a moment and said, "But this mountain climbing trip will not be peaceful."

"Taiping Mountain is not peaceful." Bai Xiushang smiled lightly and said, "This is the matter of Zi Mansion. With Zi Mansion's ability, it should be enough to deal with it. I will never let the old woman protect me, right?"

Li Xuan smiled and said, "Xuan is enough to deal with it. In addition, Master Bai is not old at all and is in his prime."

Bai Xiushang smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Zi Mansion would praise people. No wonder Su Su fell in love with you."

Li Xuandu said: "Actually, everyone will say beautiful words, the key is who says it."

Bai Xiushang laughed it off.

The two left Taiping Inn and headed for Taiping Mountain.

Taiping Mountain is full of mountains and is all private property of Taiping Sect. From the foot of the mountain to the hillside, stone steps are built. The two climbed up the stone steps in the mountains. After walking for about an hour, there were vaguely visible terraced fields, with clear layers. From a distance, it looked like steps built for the gods and men in the sky. However, at this time, the farmer in the terraced fields was not seen working hard. After passing the large terraced fields, the mountain roads gradually became steep, and the mountains were undulating and unstable, making the mountains more rugged and difficult to move.

After walking for several miles, a black and thin boy appeared on the mountain road. After seeing Li Xuandu, he hurriedly came over.

The boy was Shen Changsheng who had been around for a long time. He saluted Li Xuandu first, then looked at Bai Xiushang who was walking with Li Xuandu, and hesitated for a moment.

Li Xuandu smiled and said, "This is the Bai Sect Master of Cihang Sect."

Shen Changsheng hurriedly saluted and said, "My younger generation Shen Changsheng has met Master Bai."

Bai Xiushang just waved her sleeves gently: "No need to be polite."

Li Xuandu suddenly said: "Why did Madam Lu send you here? Is she worried about the others, or is she unable to control the situation of Taiping Sect now?"

Shen Changsheng was slightly startled, and then he felt admiration and said: "Mr. Li guessed right. In the past few days, the people in Taiping Palace have been quarreling like crazy. They quarrel during the day and at night, and it never ends. The boss lady... Madam can't do anything. The master... Master has met with an accident again. In the past few days, Madam has been sighing all day and is almost worried to death."

Li Xuandu and Bai Xiushang looked at each other and understood.

Shen Changsheng straightened his face and said: "Madam asked me to tell Mr. Li that as long as Mr. Li sets foot on Taiping Mountain, there will be no need to start a war. Maybe he will have to fight with a small number of people. After all, there are still many people who do not obey Mr. Li."

Li Xuandu was not surprised.

The alternation of the old and new sect leaders means that the original power structure in the sect will be broken, and then the power will be redistributed, which is what people often say "a new emperor, a new minister". Under such circumstances, even if the position of the leader is handed over normally, it is inevitable that there will be waves, not to mention the abnormal succession of Li Xuandu. The new leader is not even a disciple of the sect. This is fine, but there are many external forces behind Li Xuandu, and anyone would be worried. So even if this is the arrangement of Mr. Shen, it will also cause many doubts.

Shen Changsheng continued: "Madam also said that if Mr. Li cannot come to Taiping Palace smoothly, she can't think of anything."

Li Xuandu pondered for a moment: "To bully the few with the many."

Shen Changsheng nodded: "Those people think that they are definitely not Mr. Li's opponent if they fight alone, so they have to attack him in groups."

Bai Xiushang smiled and said: "Zifu doesn't have to worry. In addition to me, there are many visitors on the way. Taiping Sect can't do anything to deal with Zifu alone."

Li Xuandu said: "I'm not afraid of this. After all, the reason why I can gain a foothold in the world is because of my ability to fight with others. Over the years, I have encountered There are countless opponents, not to mention that my debut battle is what people in the martial arts world call a fight with the heroes of Heshuo. But this time is different. It is not a fight of life and death. There must be room for propriety, so the scale of the attack is very important. I am afraid that I will be too heavy-handed and lose some people's face, making it difficult to save the situation. "

Bai Xiushang nodded in agreement and said, "After all, we are guests, not hosts. If Zifu is a legitimate disciple of Taiping Sect, we can naturally suppress him completely. Unfortunately, Zifu is an outsider, so we must leave some room for propriety. "

Li Xuandu spread out his five fingers, and a "seed" appeared in his palm, spinning non-stop.

Shen Changsheng widened his eyes and asked curiously, "What is this?"

Li Xuandu closed his five fingers again, held the "seed" in his palm, and smiled, "This is my 'human world'."

Then Li Xuandu said to Shen Changsheng, "Let's go, take me to see the style of Taiping Sect. "
