Taiping Inn

Li Xuandu's thoughts were floating, remembering a sentence his master had said to him in his early years: "You can do something not because of how capable you are, but just because you are in this position. As for Those who can’t do anything in this position are mediocre people.”

Li Xuan couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "The reason why I can become the acting leader of Taiping Sect is not because of how capable I am and how high my character is, or because of the times."

Seeing that Li Xuan seemed to refuse, Zhang Haishi waved his hand and said, "Stop it, I'm not forcing you to be this great wise teacher, nor is it to let you go to the Taoist sect to be the master of the Taoist sect. It's just that the general trend is going to happen. If you come to this position, others will do it. If you let those who are not willing to take up a high position and don’t know how many disasters you will cause, you might as well let you do it."

Li Xuan finally had nothing to say. The reason why he was rejected was not because he did not admire the power of glory, profit and power. He was not so noble. Which man had never longed for success? But people who are in high positions bear greater responsibilities. The great master Zhang Jingxiu, as the leader of the righteous path, in addition to the huge Zhengyi Sect, also needs to take into account the "Four and Six" disputes and the dispute between good and evil. Even so, he still has to be trembling, walking on thin ice, afraid that he will make a mistake. All are wrong, and the whole market will be lost in the end.

Just then, a disciple of Taiping Sect outside reported softly: "Report to Mr. Li, three real people came together."

The word "real person" is extremely precious. There are many great masters of the Heavenly Realm in the world, and at least dozens of people. There are only three great masters of the Heavenly Realm who may have obtained the title of real person, namely the three of the Shenxiao Sect The Emperor Xuan, the Emperor Taiwei of Donghua Sect, and the Emperor Wanshou of Miaozhen Sect. As for the Emperor Feiyuan of Yan Feiqing, he still returns to the true realm, while the Emperor Zhang Jingxiu, the Emperor Yuanyang, is in the realm of immortality and is not among the realm of heaven and man. .

At this time, the three real people came together, and they were naturally the three real people of Quanzhendao.

Li Xuandu said to the disciples of Taiping Sect outside, "I understand."

When the disciples of Taiping Sect retreated, Li Xuandu said to Zhang Haishi: "I didn't expect these three real people to arrive."

Zhang Haishi smiled and said, "This matter was promoted by the great master Zhang Jingxiu, and Qingwei Sect also acquiesced. In addition, Taiping Sect, the nominal deputy leader, who dares not give face to the rest of the righteous sects? Of course, they all come to watch the ceremony. . It just so happens that I will go with you to welcome these three real people.”

After saying that, the two brothers left Tianshui Pavilion and flew to Taiping Sect.

When they arrived at Yuanping in front of Taiping Palace, Mrs. Lu and Shen Yuanzhong were already waiting here, and Yuanping Square was also full of disciples of Taiping Sect. Not long after, three Taoists came from the mountain road under Shen Yuanzhai's personal guidance.

An old Taoist in the middle, with white hair and white beards showing signs of yellow and blackness. This is the appearance of longevity. Needless to say, it is the longest-year-old Wanshou Zhenren in the world today, even better than Zhang Jingxiu and others. Half a lifetime taller, only the Tibetan old man can barely compare with him. On that day, Zhang Jingxiu introduced this Wanshou true man to Shen Changsheng and directly said that there was an ancestor in Shuzhou, which was worthy of his name.

On the left side of Wanshou Zhenren is a middle-aged Taoist who looks forty years old. He has three long beards and fairy-like Taoist bones. There are faint purple air in his eyes. It should be that he has practiced the Donghua Sect. Ziwei Sword Art”, its identity is self-evident, it is the Taiwei True Person of Donghua Sect.

Needless to say, the person on the right side of Wanshou Zhenren is the Sanxuan Zhenren of Shenxiao Sect.

Seriously speaking, Li Xuandu had some interactions with these three real people. That day, Li Xuandu and Li Taiyi fought with swords at Wangxiantai. Taiwei real person and his friend Zhang Chengxuan were watching the game off the stage, and Zhang Chengxuan sold it to Qin Su's "Baihua Spiritual Face" person. Not to mention the Sanxuan Zhenren. Li Xuandu personally participated in the storm of the Fenglei Sect. Sanxuan Zhenren also appeared that day, but Li Xuandu's realm had not yet returned to his realm and could not see his true face. As for the true man of Wanshou, Li Xuandu has never seen it before, but the "Five Poisons True Pill" he took was indeed refined by Wanshou himself.

Two of the three real people have seen Li Xuandu, but only Wanshou has never seen him, but he is familiar with Zhang Haishi. Mrs. Lu is a woman, and Shen Yuanzhong is too old, so only Li Xuandu is a young man. At first glance, the nearly 100-year-old Taoist said first, "Mr. Li, it will be your good day soon, I will be happy first."

Li Xuandu hurriedly came forward and said, "I am entrusted by Mr. Shen to take charge of the Taiping Sect's gates and welcome the three real people to the Taiping Sect on behalf of the Taiping Sect."

Taiwei Zhenren smiled and said, "Mr. Li became the acting leader of Taiping Sect. This matter has spread to the world. The three of us have decided to go to Fengyin Mansion to gather first, and then climb the mountain to congratulate. I thought we should be the first. I approved it, but I didn’t expect that Mr. Haishi had arrived.”

Zhang Haishi smiled and said, "It was a delusional idea to want the first person to arrive. The one who was earlier than Zhang Haishi was the Bai Sect Master of Cihang Sect."

Donghua Sect and Qingwei Sect have been neighbors for many years. Zhang Haishi and Taiwei Zhenren are naturally old acquaintances, and they are even more forgot about the ages of true man Wanshou. As for the Sanxuan Zhenren, they also have friendships. After a few polite greetings, Li Xuandu invited three real people to the Taiping Palace to speak.

Many Taiping Sect disciples did not expect that the new acting leader would have such a great reputation. In addition to Bai Zongzhu of Cihang Sect, there were three more leaders who came to visit. If Zhang Haishi, who represented Qingwei Sect and was not a leader but was better than a leader, was added, there would be five leaders. All the disciples were a little excited. After all, it was not even the day yet, but so many big figures who were rarely seen on weekdays came to visit. When the day of the enthronement ceremony came, wouldn’t all twelve sects have to come? Taiping Sect had Taiping Inns and Taiping Money Houses in various places. There was news that many disciples of Xuannv Sect had arrived in Huainan Prefecture and would be able to climb the mountain tomorrow. There were even many evil people and wanderers who gathered in Huainan Prefecture. This was a scene that had not happened for many years. Even when the young Tianshi of Zhengyi Sect and Su Xianzi of Cihang Sect got married not long ago, there was no such special encounter. At present, many young disciples have begun to argue privately whether Jingchan Sect, which had been closed for a long time, would send people to come and truly gather the twelve sects of the righteous way.

Seeing this, many Taiping Sect disciples who were resistant began to waver, thinking that since this acting Sect Master could be chosen by the Sect Master and had the support of the Great Heavenly Master, he must have some ability. Of course, the reason why so many Sect Masters were willing to come in person was because of the Great Heavenly Master, but the three real people did not listen to the Great Heavenly Master's dispatch. Their coming was the face of the Great Sword Immortal. The Great Heavenly Master plus the Great Sword Immortal, what a great face, bigger than the sky.

Not long after the three real people arrived, another person climbed the mountain alone. He was a short old man, born with a shriveled and thin body, with sparse hair and beard. He had a pipe on his waist, a jade mouth, an ebony pipe, a brass pot, and a purse on the other side, filled with tobacco leaves.

The old man's eyes were blazing, almost like a brilliant light, and he said that he came to congratulate Mr. Li on the order of the master. The disciples of Taiping Sect did not dare to neglect it and reported to Li Xuandu.

Li Xuandu came out of Taiping Palace. When he saw this person, he was immediately surprised and said, "You are Jianxiu Mountain..."

The old man grinned and said, "Yes, I am the guardian of Jianxiu Mountain. I didn't expect that Master Li still remembered me."

The many Taiping Sect disciples around were a little confused and didn't know where Jianxiu Mountain was.

The old man swept his eyes with a real look, cleared his throat and said, "I am here to congratulate Master Li on the order of my master."

A Taiping Sect guest disciple of the same generation as Li Xuandu hesitated for a moment and said, "Please tell me your name."

The old man glanced at him and said, "I am not worth mentioning. But you have to listen carefully to my master's name. My master's surname is Xu, and his name is Wugui. He is respected as the master of earth energy in the world. Do you know it?"

As soon as these words came out, many Taiping Sect disciples shouted "Ah" loudly.

It's not surprising that the Great Heavenly Master sent people to congratulate, and it's not surprising that the Great Sword Immortal sent people to congratulate, but it was unexpected that the Earth Master also sent people. In this way, three immortal realms have congratulated together. Will the last one, Tan Taiyun, also send people to congratulate?

The old man continued: "My master said that he and Master Li are friends regardless of age. Master Li ascended to the throne of the Taiping Sect's acting leader. He should have come in person to congratulate, but he was tied up by worldly affairs and couldn't split himself. Master Li, please don't blame me."
