Taiping Inn

Li Xuandu came to the prime minister's mansion, just like in the past, nothing has changed.

In addition to Zhang Suqing, Zhang Baigui, and Zhang Baiyue, there are some acquaintances of Li Xuandu in the mansion, such as the kind old housekeeper.

In a large family, the status of a housekeeper who has followed the head of the family for many years is actually very high, second only to the head of the family and the mistress, and can participate in the discussion of family affairs, and even has more weight than young sons and daughters. It is said that the prime minister's doorman is a seventh-rank official. If the doorman is like this, what about the housekeeper? In fact, the housekeeper in the prime minister's mansion also has his own house, with servants and maids to serve him, and he can even use the power of the prime minister's mansion to find an official position for his son, and his daughter is also raised as a lady since childhood. Many officials who come from a formal family have to be respectful and flattering when they see him, and he is considered a top figure in the imperial capital. However, the old housekeeper of the Zhang family was an exception. His wife died early, and he never remarried. He had no children or grandchildren, so he treated Zhang Baigui and Zhang Baiyue as his own children, and he also loved Li Xuandu.

After entering the mansion, Zhang Baiyue was very happy. He took Li Xuandu to the back garden of the Xiangfu and said, "Zifu, where have you been these days? Have you forgotten me?"

Li Xuandu was choked and didn't know how to answer.

Even though he knew that the person in front of him was the one in his memory, Li Xuandu felt a little reluctant. Could it be that he had already decided on a marriage, and he would go back to get married after the matter here was settled?

What's more, he was already dead.

Seeing that Li Xuandu did not answer, but frowned slightly, as if he had something to hide, Zhang Baiyue was considerate and did not ask any more questions. Instead, she said, "Let's not talk about these things. I recently transplanted a peony from Xishan Temple outside the city. It looks very good. I'll take you to see it, okay?"

Li Xuandu nodded, "Okay."

Zhang Baiyue saw that Li Xuandu agreed, so he took Li Xuandu's hand and walked forward.

Li Xuandu only felt a warm and soft hand grasping his hand. He froze for a while, but he didn't break free in the end, and let Zhang Baiyue pull him to the flower garden.

Although the Xiangfu was not bad, it was built in the imperial capital city where every inch of land was worth a lot of money after all, and it could not be compared with the Qin family mansion in Chaoyang Mansion. Soon the two came to Zhang Baiyue's flower garden. The peony was indeed as Zhang Baiyue said, with excellent appearance and a unique one.

Li Xuandu looked at the peony and was absent-minded for a moment.

Women are like flowers. Some are like plum blossoms that stand proudly in the snow, and some are like lotus flowers that are out of this world. Zhang Baiyue is a peony. The most prosperous flower is the peony, but it can't escape withering and falling after spring. Zhang Baiyue was once a popular peony, but now, she has fallen into the dust.

Thinking of this, Li Xuandu couldn't help but sigh softly.

Zhang Baiyue asked: "Zifu, what are you thinking about?"

Li Xuandu came back to his senses, "Thinking of... you."

Although Li Xuandu was telling the truth, it was indeed a bit ambiguous. Zhang Baiyue's face was slightly red, but she didn't dodge her eyes like Qin Su, but looked at Li Xuandu openly, which made Li Xuandu, who was used to Qin Su, a little uncomfortable.

Zhang Baiyue whispered: "Zifu, you think of me, I'm very happy."

Li Xuandu was a little embarrassed.

At this moment, there were heavy footsteps in the distance, and someone coughed a few times and said, "Mr. Li, Miss, it's noon, the master invites you two to take the table." Li Xuandu turned around and saw the old housekeeper standing more than ten feet away. Although he looked respectful, there was a hint of smile on the corner of his mouth. In his expression, he was a kind elder who was amazed and happy to see a pair of young lovers who were a perfect match. Zhang Baiyue, who had always been generous and generous, finally looked shy and lowered her head in front of the old housekeeper. Li Xuandu had experienced the world and experienced life and death. At this time, he no longer had the joy and shyness of young men and women in the past. He was left with only the helpless feeling of the impermanence of the world. The old housekeeper turned around and led the way. Li Xuandu stood still. Suddenly, flames shot up to the sky outside the mansion, followed by bursts of shouts and screams. Then many figures passed over the wall of the Xiangfu. These people wore black gauze without wings, blue narrow-sleeved long-collared brocade clothes, bronze phoenix heads on their waists, and black-faced and white-bottomed official boots. They held knives in their hands, with a blade of about three feet and a handle of about six inches. Although wrapped in a scabbard, it can be seen that the blade spine is straight and the blade is slightly curved.

These people are the Qingluan Guards.

It seems that there are endless Qingluan Guards rushing into the Xiangfu and surrounding the three people. At the same time, fires rose in the Xiangfu, and shouts of killing rang out.

Li Xuandu was not afraid at all, but just looked at the scene in front of him indifferently.

The other Li Xuandu did not show up, but his voice sounded in Li Xuandu's ears, "If the past happened again, what would you choose?"

Li Xuandu said calmly: "The past cannot be pursued, this question is meaningless."

The other Li Xuandu said: "People can be resurrected after death, who says the past cannot be repeated?"

Li Xuandu snorted lightly, stretched out his palm, and a half-broken sword appeared in his palm, which was the half of "Human World" that he had refined.

Li Xuandu held the half of "Human World" without the hilt and said coldly: "Don't play tricks, come out."

...

Xu Wugui walked slowly in the Xijin area, where there are many mountains and steep mountains. Many peaks are like sharp swords pointing straight to the sky.

The portal connecting Luwu's residence is located in the Dongmu area, and the portal connecting Zixiao Palace is located in the Xijin area, just from east to west.

Although Xu Wugui has obtained the "key" to Zixiao Palace, he is not in a hurry to go to Zixiao Palace, but plans to find a place to recover from his injuries first.

Earlier, he took advantage of the situation and took the risk to seize Ruyi. It seemed that he could come and go freely and play with a group of immortals, but in fact, he paid a great price. The first was a punch from Tan Taiyun. Tan Taiyun took a seemingly human immortal path. She was essentially an earth immortal, but she had the characteristics of a human immortal. Her punch was certainly not as good as the real human immortal fist, but with the blessing of "Tai Su Xuan Gong", it was not to be underestimated. It had already seriously injured Xu Wugui's internal organs.

The five internal organs correspond to the five qi in the chest. If the five internal organs are injured, it is inevitable that the cultivation will be damaged and the full strength cannot be exerted.

If it was just like this, it would be fine. This punch was within Xu Wugui's expectations. What really surprised Xu Wugui was Li Daoxu. It must be said that in terms of cunning and strategy, Li Daoxu is not inferior to Xu Wugui. Li Daoxu not only anticipated Xu Wugui's sneak attack and left a little more strength in advance, which was not enough to defeat Xu Wugui, but he was able to defend himself without any hindrance, causing Xu Wugui to return empty-handed. Moreover, when Xu Wugui was fighting for Ruyi, he did not take action immediately, but waited until Xu Wugui finally escaped before choosing to take action.

This timing can be said to be just right. This Ruyi that can open Zixiao Palace is not an ordinary item. When it was just born, it had its own momentum. Even with Xu Wugui's realm and cultivation, once he touched Ruyi, his aura was disturbed by Ruyi. Li Daoxu just held the sword at first, just to wait for this moment. At the critical moment when Xu Wugui subdued Ruyi, he drew his sword again, making Xu Wugui unable to advance or retreat. He had no choice but to endure Li Daoxu's sword and then use the secret method that consumed his cultivation to barely escape. This was all thanks to Li Daoxu's severe losses in the battle of Luwu. If it was Li Daoxu in his prime, Xu Wugui would probably have been left here.

Because of this, Xu Wugui was seriously injured, and the situation in Zixiao Palace was unclear. If he rashly entered it, it would be hard to predict whether it was good or bad. Xu Wugui had planned for today's matter for a long time, and even turned the huge Jianghu upside down. As the saying goes, a journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step. There is only one last step left, and he must be extremely cautious to prevent failure. So Xu Wugui had to find a place to recuperate first, and then seek Zixiao Palace.

Xu Wugui found a mountain wall, operated his magical powers, and the hard rocks turned into soft mud wherever his palm touched. Soon, Xu Wugui opened up a temporary cave. After he entered it, he waved his sleeves again, and the softened mud turned into stone walls again, sealing the cave. There was almost no trace from the outside.

Xu Wugui sat cross-legged, and did not use the last portion of the elixir of immortality. Instead, he took out several three-inch-high jade bottles, which were filled with elixirs treasured by the Yin-Yang Sect. Although these elixirs were not as good as the elixir of immortality of the Six Enlightened Witches, they were also top-notch products of the time, including the "Five Poisons True Pill" and the "Five Qi True Pill".

As the King of Qi, the leader of the Yin-Yang Sect, and the Earth Master, Xu Wugui's wealth far surpassed that of Li Xuandu, regardless of money. This was true for both treasures and elixir secrets. This was not to say that Li Xuandu was too shabby, but that Xu Wugui was too rich.

Xu Wugui took two jade bottles, poured the "Five Qi True Pill" and the "Five Poisons True Pill" into his palms respectively, and then took the two pills at the same time. When Li Xuandu took these two kinds of pills, he took them separately and spent several days practicing Qigong to dissolve the power of the medicine, fearing that the power of the medicine would damage his meridians. If he took the two pills together, he would explode and die. It was because Xu Wugui had a deep realm that he dared to do so.

After Xu Wugui swallowed the two pills, a strange scene of yin and yang suddenly appeared on his face. Half of his face seemed transparent, and the meridians and bones under the skin were clearly visible. The other half of his face was pitch black, and I don’t know how much toxins were accumulated. Xu Wugui was unaware of it. He closed his eyes and began to slowly practice the mysterious power.

In a blink of an eye, wisps of white breath appeared on Xu Wugui’s head, and black mist lingered around him. Wherever the white air passed, the rocks on his head turned into crystals, and wherever the black air passed, the rocks were corroded and hissed. This is exactly the principle that clear air rises and turbid air falls.

…

Wu Yang kept repeating the art of summoning souls. The elixir of immortality was now completely integrated into the "Eternal Life Stone", and then entered Li Xuandu's body through the "Eternal Life Stone", making Li Xuandu's chest flesh and blood return to normal. The "Eternal Life Stone" located at the heart position could no longer be seen, and only the crystal-like jade-like skin could be seen.

However, Li Xuandu had not woken up yet.

The other four immortal earthly immortals surrounded him, in groups of two, two on guard, two regulating their breathing, and took turns back and forth.
