Taiping Inn

Shangguan Wan received these two objects and was a little unfamiliar with them.

Although the "Yin Yang Magic Sword" and "Heavenly Sun and Earthly Yin Candle Dragon Seal" are the tokens of the leader of the Yin Yang Sect, similar to the "Peaceful and Worry-free Banner" of the Taiping Sect, when the Earth Master was in charge of the Yin Yang Sect, he rarely used these two objects, just like Li Xuandu rarely used the "Peaceful and Worry-free Banner" after he entered the realm of immortality, and even did not use the "Human World". It's the same reason.

For an immortal earthly immortal, immortal objects are the greatest help, but below the realm of immortality, top treasures and semi-immortal objects are also extraordinary. The "Yin Yang Magic Sword" is a top treasure, and the "Heavenly Sun and Earthly Yin Candle Dragon Seal" is a semi-immortal object, not inferior to Bai Xiushang's "Six-Character Bright Mantra Sword".

Shangguan Wan didn't expect Li Xuandu to hand over the Yin-Yang Sect's leader's token to him like this. He was a little overwhelmed for a moment. After a while, he asked softly: "This is..."

Li Xuandu waved his sleeves to collect the three lotus flowers and thirteen sword shadows, and said: "Set things right. From today on, you are the new leader of the Yin-Yang Sect. Do you have any objections?"

Shangguan Wan held the sword seal and was a little dazed. "I... have no objection."

Li Xuandu said again: "From today on, the Yin-Yang Sect officially belongs to the Taoist sect. Does the Shangguan Sect have any objections?"

Shangguan Wan came back to his senses and shook his head, saying, "No objection."

"Very good." Li Xuandu said, "If you can contact Wang Tianxiao, then tell him that if he is willing to turn back and repent, it will be a great kindness, and the Taoist sect will still open its doors to him. But if he is stubborn and stubborn, he will eventually destroy himself, so don't say I didn't warn you."

Shangguan Wan said in a deep voice, "I'll remember it."

At this point, Shangguan Wan found that she was not as resistant as she imagined, and even the result was far better than she expected. Li Xuandu did not humiliate her, and Song Zheng was completely destroyed. She turned a disaster into a blessing. Not only did she improve her cultivation and get rid of the embarrassing situation of being the weakest person in the Tianrenzhihua realm, but she also got the position of the leader of the Yinyang Sect and even entered the hall. In the future, she will no longer be a "rebel" hiding from place to place, but a leader of a sect who can "be on the same side" with Bai Xiushang, Zhang Haishi and others.

This feeling is like a rebel being recruited, which is not shameful. The Tianshi of the past dominated Shuzhou, but finally chose to submit to the court, that is, to be recruited.

In fact, before meeting Li Xuandu, Shangguan Wan was afraid that Li Xuandu would directly reject her, and was also afraid that Li Xuandu would humiliate her in every way. Now it seems that she was judging a gentleman by her own meanness. With the change of status, Li Xuandu seemed to gradually get rid of the weird habits of Qingwei Sect, and treated people more leniently, and had some of the spirit of a leader.

Shangguan Wan suddenly felt that following Li Xuandu seemed to be not bad, at least better than Song Zheng.

After a while, Su Rong also recovered from the state of wandering soul. She had suffered a little loss in the fight with Song Zheng just now, so she needed some time to recover.

Li Xuandu looked at Su Rong and said sincerely, "Thank you Madam for your help."

Su Rong looked at Li Xuandu deeply, "No need to thank me, I just accept the loss. If you are willing to let me leave this place, I will sincerely thank you."

Li Xuandu said, "I will fulfill my promise about the treasure of the fox clan."

Su Rong's eyes fell on Shangguan Wan, "I believe that Mr. Li is a man of his word, so I will wait for good news."

At this time, Su Rong also roughly guessed the relationship between Li Xuandu and Shangguan Wan. There is a difference between superiors and subordinates, and they are somewhat wary of each other. It is certain that they are not husband and wife, let alone friends.

Li Xuandu looked around the eighth cave of the Locking Demon Tower, which had become empty, and asked, "Madam, are you waiting here?"

Su Rong waved his sleeves, and a green meadow appeared under their feet. Not far away, a bamboo forest appeared. There were pavilions and pools in the bamboo forest. In the distance, there were villages and golden rice fields, and the two were connected by paths.

Su Rong said, "I don't have the ability to make something real or create something out of nothing, but I can still decorate it with illusion."

Li Xuandu said, "It's a very powerful illusion."

"Mr. Li, you are too kind." Su Rong smiled slightly, "I will wait here for Mr. Li to come here again. For me, I have waited for two hundred years. I don't mind waiting for a few more years. I think you will not let me down."

Li Xuandu said, "Three years at most."

Su Rong said "hmm" softly.

Li Xuandu suddenly stepped back a few steps. Shangguan Wan understood and followed Li Xuandu. After enough distance, Li Xuandu opened his five fingers. A colorful gem was suspended above his palm, which was the key to leave this place.

The reason why Li Xuandu kept a distance was naturally to prevent Su Rong from suddenly attacking and forcibly leaving this place.

Su Rong saw this scene, but he didn't get angry. He just stood there and looked at Li Xuandu.

To be fair, she did have the idea of ​​forcibly escaping when Li Xuandu opened the portal to the cave. Generally speaking, after a joint battle against an enemy, the mutual vigilance will certainly decrease, and she deliberately showed weakness in the image of a human woman, so the man would naturally feel a little pity for her. This is a perfect opportunity to take advantage of. However, she did not expect that at this time, Li Xuandu still retained sufficient vigilance against her.

This made Su Rong feel a little admiration. The last person who could be so rational and sober in front of her was Xu Wugui. No wonder Xu Wugui gave him his mantle. The two did have many similarities.

Li Xuandu completed the small cave in his hand, and the portal opened again. Li Xuandu signaled Shangguan Wan to leave first, and then he entered the portal and left.

When Li Xuandu and Shangguan Wan left the Demon Locking Tower, they found that the moon was already high in the sky, and the white moonlight was falling, and the world was quiet. However, there was no sound of birds or insects around the Demon Locking Tower, and there was not even a sound of wind. It seemed too quiet, even to the point of being creepy.

The two stood in front of the tower. Shangguan Wan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Qing... Senior Brother, I have made a vow to the inner demon, and some things can be said openly."

Li Xuandu did not answer immediately, but pondered in his heart.

His original intention was to observe for a while before deciding whether to bring Shangguan Wan into the Qingping Society. But now, as Shangguan Wan said, she has made a vow to the inner demon, and he has handed the token of the leader of the Yinyang Sect to Shangguan Wan. As the saying goes, trust people when you employ them, and don't employ people when you don't trust them. If he deliberately conceals it, Shangguan Wan will feel that she is not trusted again.

Li Xuandu pondered and said, "Since Senior Sister Shangguan asked this, I might as well say it directly. Outside the inn, I have also formed a secret alliance with the name of the ci tune as a code name."

Shangguan Wan immediately thought of the "Qingpingle" mentioned by Li Xuandu, and her ci tune name "Yu Meiren".

Li Xuandu continued, "I named it 'Qingping Society'. Qingping Society has a certain connection with the inn, but they cannot be confused. Today, there are fifteen members in Qingping Society, namely: 'Qingping Music', 'Qingping Tune', 'Linjiangxian', 'Jianqijin', 'Jincuodao', 'Yudiehudie', 'Hantingqiu', 'Zuitaiping', 'Rumengling', 'Qingyu'an', 'Huanxisha', 'Fo Nishang', 'Busuanzi', 'Chaitoufeng', 'Nuguanzi', and if you, 'Yu Meiren', are added, that would be sixteen people."

Shangguan Wan's mind turned rapidly.

Sixteen people, excluding herself and Li Xuandu, the leader of the society, there are fourteen more people. It is certain that the identities of these fourteen people are extremely outstanding. If her identity is used as an analogy, then these fourteen people should be people of high status and power in various sects.

Thinking of this, Shangguan Wan was shocked.

There are only 22 sects in total for the good and evil sects, and the 15 people except Li Xuandu represent 15 sects. So the identities of many people are not difficult to guess. For example, Mrs. Lu, the head of the Taiping Sect, who is directly controlled by Li Xuandu, Qin Su, who is both the leader of the Wangqing Sect and Li Xuandu's fiancee, Su Yun'an of the Cihang Sect, Yan Feiqing of the Zhengyi Sect, Yu Qingning of the Xuannv Sect, who have close relations with Li Xuandu, Zhang Hao and Li Feiyan of the Qingwei Sect, and Lan Xuanshuang, the heir of the Zaoge Sect who suddenly appeared, etc.

Although these people are young, most of them are regarded as the next sect leader. They are high-level figures in the sect and have extraordinary status. Li Xuandu has won these people around him, and together with his colleagues, he has grasped the future of the Taoist sect. Because no matter how powerful the old generation such as Li Daoxu and Qin Qing are, they will eventually ascend to heaven and die, and the future still belongs to these young people.

What is the goal? This is the goal.

Thinking of this, Shangguan Wan sincerely admired this man who was a few years younger than herself.

Then Li Xuandu continued: "Among these fourteen people, some are from the inn, such as my master Li Feiyan, who is not only the 'Sword Weapon Master' in the Qingping Society, but also the head of a department of the inn. Now the inn has a rotation system, with six department heads serving as the head shopkeepers. Now it is my aunt who is the head of the inn. Next, I will ask Senior Sister Shangguan to meet my aunt and follow her arrangements."

Li Xuandu's words confirmed Shangguan Wan's guess. In fact, Shangguan Wan is not unfamiliar with this method, because her master Xu Wugui did this. What is revealed is only the tip of the iceberg, and the real iceberg is actually hidden under the sea. Many people think that Li Xuandu is alone and a loner, but they don't know that Li Xuandu has long started to cultivate his own power, and now it is a big trend.

Shangguan Wan remembers playing a jigsaw puzzle game when she was a child, called "Tangram". As the name suggests, it is composed of seven pieces, and these seven pieces can be pieced together into many shapes. However, the master made improvements on the basis of the tangram. The master divided a painting into many pieces and asked her to piece them together again. That was one of the few entertainments she had when she was a child, and she always enjoyed it.

Now Shangguan Wan feels that Li Xuandu is playing a jigsaw puzzle game. He wants to piece together a picture of the mountains and rivers, and she is also a piece of the puzzle on this long scroll.
