Taiping Inn

This matter was originally conspired and agreed upon by Li Xuandu, Li Daoxu, Zhang Jingxiu, and Qin Qing. Li Xuandu took the lead, Qin Qing followed, and Zhang Jingxiu supported from the side to prevent any accidents. The ultimate goal is to promote peace by fighting, to catch the Confucian sect off guard, and force the Confucian sect to negotiate with the Taoist sect. As long as the Taoist sect wins, it will not only severely defeat the Confucian sect's spirit, but also increase the Taoist sect's ambition. This is the purpose of the Taoist sect.

The fundamental intention of this move is not to kill the Confucian sect's living combat power, but to reduce the prestige of the Confucian sect. The prestige of the Confucian sect was not established in a day, and naturally it will not be lost in a day. As long as the prestige of the Confucian sect is still there, there will be countless people who rely on and follow the Confucian sect. If the Taoist sect wants to compete with the Confucian sect, or even replace the Confucian sect, it must first reduce the prestige of the Confucian sect and increase the prestige of the Taoist sect at the same time. First, let the vassals and followers of the Confucian sect become neutral, and then turn them into vassals and followers of the Taoist sect. This process is the process of changing the master of the world.

Under such circumstances, the Taoist sect reunited, and the Confucian sect failed to suppress it, which was a loss of its own prestige. The Taoist sect held a Taoist conference in Longmen Mansion, and the Confucian sect failed to stop it, which would also lose its own prestige. For the Taoist sect, this was the first battle to establish its prestige, not a life-and-death struggle.

The dispute between Confucianism and Taoism was not a matter of one day or one night.

Li Xuandu knew the details of this very well, but he could not say directly that he had known it in advance, so he still pretended to be ignorant and looked at Li Daoxu.

Li Daoxu said calmly: "The three of us have discussed with the Confucian masters and decided to have a one-on-one duel. If the Taoists win, the Confucians will no longer interfere with the Taoists. If the Confucians win, the Taoists will withdraw from Longmen Mansion. The duel will be entrusted to Zifu."

"I dare not." Li Xuandu's face was solemn, "Xuandu will do his best and live up to the trust of the elders."

Then Li Xuandu looked at the Confucianists and asked: "Which gentleman is here to teach me?"

Qinghe Jushi stepped forward, "I am an old man with no talent, and I am learning from Mr. Qingping's unique skills."

Li Xuandu smiled and said: "That day in the Da Baoen Temple, I was unable to decide the winner with the Jushi. Today, we just continue the unfinished battle that day."

Qinghe Jushi said: "That is what I wish for, but I dare not ask."

While speaking, both the Taoists and the Confucians had already retreated.

Li Xuandu stopped smiling and said seriously, "The last time we fought, I fought with bare hands, but my skills are still better than a three-foot long sword."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xuandu had already taken out the "Human World" and placed it in front of him.

In an instant, the sky above Li Xuandu's head was suddenly stained with a layer of deep night color. Under the blue sky in the daytime, a scene that should only be seen at night was outlined. With the line between Li Xuandu and Qinghe Jushi as the dividing line, half of the sky was as dark as night, and the other half was still daytime, which was extremely mysterious. Then, the night sky suddenly lit up with stars, and there were silver lines connecting the dots, interweaving together to form a square array diagram.

Qinghe Jushi looked up at the array diagram on the sky, "It's a method I've never seen before."

Li Xuandu didn't say anything, but just controlled the star array to slowly fall down, covering both of them.

Although Li Xuandu is not yet in the realm of immortality, he already has a method similar to opening up a small world. After the star array fell, in an instant, the world changed, day and night turned upside down, and the two seemed to be in the starry sky. The stars rose and fell, sometimes bright, sometimes dark, sometimes ethereal as if far away in the sky, and sometimes clear as if right in front of them. Among them, eight stars were the most eye-catching, which corresponded to the number of the Big Dipper, namely Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Kaiyang, Yuheng, Yaoguang, and the North Star, which was not among the seven stars. The entire star array corresponds to the stars of the Southern Dipper, while the seven stars and the North Star correspond to the stars of the Northern Dipper. This is exactly the "Southern Dipper Twenty-Eight Swords" created by Li Xuandu by combining the strengths of the "Southern Dipper Twenty-Eight Array Diagram" and the "Northern Dipper Thirty-Six Swords".

"Playing tricks." Qinghe Layman snorted and stamped his feet lightly. With the place where he stamped his feet as the center, a circle of great energy rushed out in all directions, venting wantonly. Wherever the energy passed, the starry sky suddenly rippled like the surface of a lake, and some stars were even shaky, showing signs of disintegration and disappearance. However, the place where Beidou was still unchanged, like a pillar reef in a torrent, no matter how windy and rainy you are, I will remain unmoved, no matter how blazing the prairie fire you have, I have the water of the East China Sea.

Li Xuandu just waved the long sword in his hand lightly, and the stars began to change their positions constantly. It seemed that there was no pattern to follow, but in fact there was a mystery. Wherever it went, the light faded, and even the sound disappeared. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Xuandu had already hidden behind the stars and disappeared.

The "Haoran Qi" of Qinghe Layman was magnificent, but it did not completely break the sword formation. It was just a hair's breadth away, and this hair's breadth made a world of difference.

Qinghe Layman uttered a sigh, emptied his palms, and once again stimulated the great Qi. However, at this time, the entire sword formation had already started to operate, and this Qi disappeared as soon as it flew more than a foot away, and it was unknown where it was moved by the sword formation.

At the same time, the Big Dipper also hit Qinghe Layman one by one.

Qinghe Layman knew very well that these stars were just appearances, but in fact they were transformed by Li Xuandu's sword Qi. If he was not careful and fell into Li Xuandu's calculations, the two of them had similar cultivation levels, and they were afraid that they would be buried in this sword formation, so he did not dare to be careless at all, and used the "Haoran Qi", his clothes rustled, and he hit the sword Qi in the shape of stars head-on.

Confucianism does not show external appearances, but its power is extremely powerful and it is condensed but not dispersed. The "Sun Erosion Method" and the "Moon Swallowing Method" cannot be absorbed, and the "Xiaoyao Six Void Tribulations" cannot be activated. It is said that there is no way to restrain it, so you can only use your strength to suppress it. Because of this, after the cultivation level of a saint of Xinxue reached the peak, no one was his level higher than him, and no one was his opponent. After Qinghe Jushi faced Li Daoxu, who had a higher level, it was very ordinary, and he could face the People with similar realm to him and whose realm is not as good as him can often show great power.

The palm power contained in the palm of Mr. Qinghe’s palm is really unpredictable. Even the great master of the ordinary Heavenly Realm will be seriously injured even if he gets a palm. There is only a loud bang, and all the seven stars transformed by the sword energy are already counted. It exploded, leaving only a North Star. Qinghe lay Buddhist believed that Li Xuan was hidden in it, and slapped it out with another palm. The palm power of this palm is stacked, like a huge wave on the sea, pushing and raising waves, with a huge momentum and not underestimating.

Although this palm failed to crush the North Star, it would also be knocked away.

Mr. Qinghe was about to come out his second palm, but he saw the North Star suddenly shining brightly and began to shrink rapidly. In the sight of Mr. Qinghe, a palm that appeared out of thin air was constantly growing bigger.

In an instant, it was turned upside down. Mr. Qinghe found that the North Star seemed to have turned into a chess piece, and was pinned between his fingers by the huge palm.

Qinghe lay Buddhist knows that the key to Taoist practice is to "get false into true", which is false and real, true and false. Don't talk about Li Xuandu, even if he is a real immortal, he cannot use the North Star as a chess piece, and even more so, he cannot use the starry sky. It is a chessboard, and the stars are used as the move. It can be seen that they are all illusions, but if the illusion cannot be broken, the false will become real and you can also kill people.

Qinghe layman circulated the "horan qi" in his body. He wanted to absorb the vital energy of heaven and earth, but found that the sword formation had isolated itself from the surrounding heaven and earth, so he no longer did useless work and waited for the sword formation to change.

Then the palm of the hand landed the North Star again on the original North Star position. For a time, the broken seven stars were restored again with the North Star position as the center.

Mr. Qinghe shouted loudly and took a step forward. This step can be said to contain his lifelong cultivation. The entire sword formation was shaking, the stars were shaking, and the light and darkness were uncertain. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qinghe layman jumped up, brushed his sleeves continuously, and generated a huge force, sweeping away all the seven stars, then approached the North Star and pressed his palm on the North Star.

It was indeed not as unexpected as he expected that Li Xuandu was hidden behind the stars here. As soon as he approached, Li Xuandu's figure flashed out from behind and slashed him with a sword.

Qinghe layman raised his palm to pick it up.

If it were Li Daoxu's "knocking at the gate of heaven", he would never dare to be so arrogant that he could use his palm to take on the weapons. However, Li Xuandu's "human world" is just a wooden sword and is not known for his sharpness, but he is not afraid.

However, beyond the expectations of Mr. Qinghe, his palm did not collide with the "human world", because Li Xuan disappeared out of thin air, and the next moment he appeared behind Mr. Qinghe, but he used the sword as a sword. He used it as an iron whip and whipped it hard on the back of Mr. Qinghe.

Mr. Qinghe only felt a burning pain on his back. Over the years, he had never suffered such a pain. He couldn't help but become furious and beat Li Xuandu with his backhand. But Li Xuan disappeared again, leaving Mr. Qinghe to waste his life.

Mr. Qinghe couldn't help but be shocked and said to himself, "How could he have such speed? I'm afraid that Li Daoxu is not as good as that."

At this moment, Li Xuandu appeared beside him again, stabbed with a sword and pointed it on the shoulder of Qinghe layman. The speed was so fast that even before the blood flower bloomed, Li Xuan had disappeared.

Qinghe layman was very angry and shocked, but he was also a knowledgeable person. After thinking for a while, he understood the key point. There was a move in the "Baidou Thirty-Six Sword Technique" that was to move one's body. The method of form. At this time, Li Xuandu set up a star formation, and the stars in the formation were actually "places to settle down" for Li Xuandu to pause and leverage his strength. It’s like burying wooden stakes under the water or pulling thin lines in the house, so that people with low light body skills can temporarily pause and leverage their strength, and can also exert the effect of the most light body skills. At this time, Li Xuandu used these so-called stars to continuously use the "fighting and moving stars" method, but he was unique and even faster than Li Yuanying's fast sword.

Mr. Qinghe knew in his heart that if he wanted to beat Li Xuandu, he had to break the strange sword formation.
