Taiping Inn

While the two were talking, they were not far from the guest house where Zhang Jingxiu lived. Zhang Daishan was guarding the door. Seeing the two coming, he quickly stepped forward to greet them: "You two are here. Uncle is waiting inside. Please follow me."

After that, the two followed Zhang Daishan into the other courtyard, passed the side hall, and came to the study. Zhang Daishan said respectfully: "Uncle, Master Li and Miss Qin are here."

"Come in." Zhang Jingxiu's voice came from the study. Zhang Daishan turned around and made a "please" gesture to the two, but he himself retreated.

The two looked at each other and pushed the door open. Zhang Jingxiu was sitting on the chair behind the desk, still with his feet off the ground and his back not leaning on the chair. Seeing the two coming in, he pointed to the other two chairs: "We are all family members, no need to be polite."

Li Xuandu and Qin Su thanked them and sat down.

Zhang Jingxiu said straight to the point: "I invited you two here this time for no other reason than to give you a gift."

"Gift?" Li Xuandu was a little confused. Of course, the leaders of each sect would not come to the enthronement ceremony empty-handed. They would have gifts, mostly top-notch spiritual objects or lower-grade treasures. If they were close relatives, such as the Qian family of Jinling Prefecture, they would specially send heavy gifts. However, whether it was a small gift or a heavy gift, it would not belong to Li Xuandu, but all of them would be handed over to the treasury of the sect. This was also a common rule among all major sects, and it was not that the Seven Elders of Taiping deliberately oppressed Li Xuandu. Zhengyi Sect had already sent a gift, and Li Xuandu didn't understand what gift the Great Heavenly Master was going to send.

Zhang Jingxiu saw the doubt in Li Xuandu's heart and said with a smile: "Zhengyi Sect is Zhengyi Sect, I am I, this is just a little gift from me."

Li Xuandu said: "I will not accept the gift without merit. Li Xuandu is terrified and dare not accept it."

Zhang Jingxiu had expected Li Xuandu to decline and was not surprised. He said: "Zifu, do you still remember that I once entrusted you with something?"

Li Xuandu was stunned and thought for a moment, and said: "The great master said that I should try to capture Li Shixing, the Siming official of Yinyang Sect?"

Zhang Jingxiu nodded and said: "I said that if you can capture Li Shixing, I will give you something. Since Zifu is unwilling to accept the gift without merit, then Consider it as my advance payment. When Zifu captures Li Shixing in the future, we will be even. "

Li Xuandu pondered for a moment and said, "Since the great celestial master said so, how can Xuandu not accept it?"

Zhang Jingxiu smiled slightly, waved his sleeves, and there was one more thing on the table. It was a city that was reduced many times, and the size was almost the same as a washbasin. The palaces and pavilions in the city were even smaller, small as rice grains, large as soybeans, densely packed, countless, but each palace was extremely exquisite, and one could even see the handwriting on the plaque hanging high in the palace, every stroke was clear. If someone shrunk in proportion, they could live in this city. Li Xuandu remembered that Yan Feiqing had a small boat that could fly into the sky and hide in the ground, and could also be held in the palm of the hand, which was ingenious. This miniature city was similar to Yan Feiqing's boat.

Zhang Haishi, who looked like a child, subconsciously wanted to stroke his beard and smile, but he touched nothing. After all, he was not the real one, and he was also tainted with a bit of childishness. He shook his hand in annoyance and said, "Zifu, what city do you think this thing looks like?"

After hearing this, Li Xuandu looked carefully and saw that the palace in the city was not built in the current style, but in the style of the flourishing Taoism in the Middle Ages. But there are many such buildings. Not to mention the distant past, the Tianshui Pavilion of the Taiping Sect is of this style. It is not easy to guess the specific origin of this thing based on this.

At this moment, Qin Su suddenly said "ah" softly, and at the same time pulled Li Xuandu's sleeve. Li Xuandu turned his head and saw Qin Su pointing at a palace in the center of the city: "Look."

Li Xuandu looked carefully and saw that the door of the palace was wide open. There was a seven-story platform inside. Looking at the plaque on the door of the palace, it was written with the three words "Qibao Palace".

Li Xuandu only felt that the name sounded very familiar, and he must have seen or heard it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a long time.

Qin Su said softly: "The Pillow Book says: 'The Yuanshi Heavenly King is above the center of the sky, named Yujing Mountain, and the palace in the mountain is decorated with gold and jade. The True Record says: Xuandu Yujing Qibao Mountain, circumference 90,000 miles, above Daluo Heaven. Qibao Palace on the city, Qibao Terrace in the palace.' You yourself are called Xuandu, and you even forgot the origin of your name?"

After Qin Su's reminder, Li Xuandu finally remembered: "The origin of Taoism comes from Taishang. It is said that it was born before heaven and earth to provide for all kinds of things. It is located in Yujing above, the ancestor of divine jade, and in Ziwei below, the master of flying immortals. Is this the famous Xuandu Baiyujing?"

Baiyujing is also known as Xuandu Zifu. The famous Yuxu sword fight between the good and evil was chosen in front of the gate of the old site of Baiyujing. Li Xuandu's name not only comes from this place, but also his sword "Human World" comes from here.

Kunlun is the ancestor of all mountains, and the origin of the dragon veins in the world. In terms of the atmosphere of the immortals, Kunlun is known as the first, and no one dares to claim to be second. Therefore, the Supreme Taoist Ancestor built a city and a palace on Yuxu Peak, known as "Xuandu Zifu", and preached here. After the Supreme Taoist Ancestor ascended to heaven and passed away, the Taoist sect split into countless branches, including Zhengyi Tianshi. No one can really subdue other branches, and they cannot occupy this place legitimately, so this immortal capital on the ground has been idle for many years.

It is said that Yang Zhu, the founder of the evil way, once wanted to enter the Xuandu Zifu, but was blocked by Nanhua Daojun. Nanhua Daojun used his supreme magical powers to cover up the traces of Xiandu. If you want to force your way in, you will be in the Cloud Recesses. Even if you mobilize millions of people and search the entire Kunlun, you can't find any trace of Xiandu. However, Nanhua Daojun did not completely block the way to Xiandu. If someone is predestined, they can enter Xiandu by chance and get various opportunities left by the Supreme Daoist Ancestor and Nanhua Daojun.

Xu Shisong was the one who got the opportunity. He took out the nameless dead wood from Xiandu, which led to the later "Human World".

Zhang Jingxiu said: "Yes, this thing is a semi-immortal thing, which is made by imitating the Xuandu Zifu on Yuxu Peak, so it is named 'Xiao Zifu'. I think it is more appropriate to send 'Xiao Zifu' to Zifu."

Li Xuandu couldn't help asking: "What is the use of this 'Xiao Zifu'?"

Zhang Jingxiu smiled slightly: "The poet Qinglian once had a famous poem circulated in the world: 'The White Jade Capital in the sky, twelve towers and five cities. The immortal stroked my head, and I received immortality.' This 'Xiao Zifu' is divided into twelve towers and five cities, a total of seventeen parts. As long as you hold The "Little Purple Mansion" can be injected with Qi to manifest seventeen talismans. These talismans can be sent to others, even if they are thousands of miles apart. Through the connection between the talisman and the "Little Purple Mansion", part of the mind of the person holding the talisman can be pulled into the Seven Treasures Palace of the "Little Purple Mansion", saving the trouble of flying swords to send letters. "

Li Xuan was shocked, and his first reaction was that Zhang Jingxiu already knew about his Taiping Inn, but he thought about it and thought that it shouldn't be the case, because he also put on the cloak of "Qingping Society" outside the Taiping Inn. Even if Zhang Jingxiu noticed it, at most he knew about the existence of Qingping Society.

As expected, Zhang Jingxiu continued, "I heard that Zifu has contacted many people, formed an alliance, and supported each other. This is a good idea. Now, we have to join forces with everyone we can, so I will send this thing to Zifu, hoping to help Zifu."

Li Xuandu took a deep breath and said respectfully, "Thank you, Master Tianshi. I will be honored if you give it to me."

Zhang Jingxiu smiled, "If this thing is left in my hands, it will just be covered in dust. But in the hands of Zifu, it can play a greater role."

Li Xuandu asked, "Master Tianshi just said that this thing is divided into seventeen parts, but I don't know what the difference is between the five cities and the twelve floors?"

Zhang Jingxiu explained, "The city is on the floor. In other words, this The authority of the ‘Little Purple Mansion’ is divided into three levels. The top level is the person who controls the ‘Little Purple Mansion’, which is equivalent to the city lord. The next level is the person who holds the ‘Five Cities’ talisman, who can perform some of the city lord’s functions. The lowest is the ‘Twelve Floors’, which has no authority. People are close to each other. For example, if the righteous are discussing matters, the disciples of the Zhengyi Sect will naturally be closer than the disciples of other righteous sects, so I will give five ‘Five Cities’ talismans to the disciples and ask them to help me with miscellaneous matters. As for what kind of authority this ‘Five Cities’ talisman has, it is all determined by the city lord. "After listening to it, Li Xuandu couldn't help but sigh that this thing was really tailor-made for him. There were exactly six people in the Taiping Inn, and the city lord plus five “Five Cities” talismans were exactly the number of six people. The twelve "building talismans" can be handed over to the twelve important allies of the Qingping Society. Now that they already have the palace official "Huanxisha" and the magician Yuying "Hantingqiu", they will be able to gather the number of twelve sooner or later. At that time, even if they are thousands of miles apart, they can gather together.

Zhang Jingxiu looked at him and smiled, "It seems that Zifu is very satisfied. As long as Zifu is satisfied, that's good."

At this time, even if Zhang Jingxiu changed his mind, Li Xuandu would have to give up his face and ask for it, because this semi-immortal item is really too useful to him, far better than other treasures and magic weapons.

Fortunately, Zhang Jingxiu did not change his mind, so he asked Li Xuandu to take the item back and study it slowly, and then issued an order to expel him.

Li Xuandu put away the "small purple mansion", bowed to the great heavenly master together with Qin Su, and left the door.

At this time, Li Xuandu was actually a little impatient, just like when he was a teenager and got something fun, he couldn't bear it.

Qin Su also saw it, and smiled: "People say that you should cater to the needs of others. The great master is very accurate in understanding your mind." Li Xuandu said: "With such things, as long as they are arranged properly, even if I am overseas, I can know the situation in various parts of the world. It can be said that everything is under my control. Swords and weapons are just the courage of ordinary people, and this is a heavy weapon."
