Taiping Inn

The White Dragon Tower Ship is tall and majestic. This is Li Daoxu's ship, and it is also a semi-immortal object. It can be controlled by Xu from above, and it can be moved above the sky, and it can be sunk at the bottom of the sea without immersing the water. It can be feasible on the water, and the wind and rain will not prosper.

With this ship there, the fleet of Qingweizong headed to Fenglin Prefecture without fear of the sea storm.

This was the first time Qin Su boarded the White Dragon Tower boat, and she felt it was full of novelty. It was not the first time Li Feiyan boarded the ship, but when she boarded the ship last time, the owner of the ship was not Li Daoxu, but her father. It can be said that she had been away for a long time.

Not to mention the location below the deck, we only talk about the boat building located above the deck. The top floor is Li Daoxu's study, the bottom floor is the living room, and the second floor is a small hall, which has a wider view than the first floor.

After Li Daoxue boarded the ship, he went straight to the second floor.

Although it is a small hall, it is still the layout of the living room. Against the north wall is a red sandalwood tea table with a red sandalwood ring chair on both sides, and eight red sandalwood seats with a coffee table are arranged in the east and west directions. The wall behind the chair is open, making it transparent and bright.

Li Daoxu sat on the main seat on the left in the center and said, "The sound of wind and rain sounds, and the sound of reading is heard. Family affairs, national affairs, and the world is concerned about everything."

Li Feiyan, who was about to sit on the upper chair on the right, stopped and stood there.

Then he heard Li Daoxu continue, "Today we don't talk about the world, nor state affairs, but family affairs."

Qin Su's heart tightened, and finally knew the terribleness of this future father-in-law, which was really clear to the hearts of the people.

"Ruoyan." Li Daoxu pointed to the main seat on the right, "It's all his family members, and they are talking about their own affairs, so just sit here."

"Ruoyan" is the word "Li Feiyan" and comes from the sentence "Like smoke but not smoke, like clouds but not clouds, it is depressing and bleak, it is called Qingyun". Because her name and character have one word "Yan" and two words in total, Shi Wuyue wanted to call her "Yan Yan".

When Li Feiyan heard Li Daoxu say this, she sat down in the main seat on the right of the center, just one left and one right with Li Daoxu, and he respected the left as the right.

Qin Su sat down on the chair on the upper left, pondered for a while, and said, "To this day, family affairs and the world's affairs are hard to distinguish. I think that even talking about family affairs cannot avoid talking about world affairs."

Li Feiyan didn't say anything, and was stunned and dazed in a daze.

Li Daoxu did not think it was offensive and said lightly: "It is difficult to make things easier than to make things easier than to make things more important. It is difficult for the world to do things more easily. It is necessary to make things easier than to make things easier than to make things easier than to make things easier than to make things easier than to make things easier than to make things easier than to make things easier than to make things easier than to make things easier than to make things easier than to make things easier than to make things easier than to make things easier than to make things easier than A person who makes a promise will have few beliefs, and more easy will have many difficulties. Therefore, it is still difficult for a saint to do so, so it will be impossible. "

Qin Sujing waits for the following article.

Li Daoxu continued: "This passage comes from Chapter 63 of the Five Thousand Words of the Daozu, which means that you should start with the easy part of dealing with problems, and achieve greatness, you should start with the subtle part of it. The difficult things in the world must be simple and easy. The world's great things must start from subtle places. Therefore, the saints with Taoism never covet great contributions, so they can achieve great things. Those who make promises easily will rarely fulfill their promises and see things If it is too easy, it will inevitably suffer a lot of difficulties. Therefore, the saints always value difficulties, so there is no difficulty."

Qin Su still didn't understand why Li Daoxu said that.

Li Daoxu said: "I admire Qin Qing. He understood the principle that "it is difficult to make it easier, but it is greater than it is more detailed". Starting from small things, from easy to difficult, and managing Liaodong step by step, finally becoming today's general trend. But Xu Wugui and Zifu rarely calm down to do these small things. They always focus on big things and hope to achieve their achievements in one battle. The sages will never be able to achieve great things. They both blindly seek great things and are destined to be unable to do it. saint."

Qin Su didn't know for a moment whether to show humility for his father Qin Qing or to accept criticism from his elders from the standpoint of his future husband Li Xuandu.

Fortunately, Li Feiyan finally came back to his senses, relieved Qin Su, and said, "Senior Brother, Zi Mansion is just an ordinary person, but he never thought about being a saint."

Since Li Daoxu and Li Qingyun got married, Li Feiyan has naturally called Li Daoxu his brother-in-law, but after Li Qingyun died, Li Feiyao changed his previous title of "senior brother".

Li Daoxu said: "In terms of 'being greater than its fineness', Zi Mansion is not doing well, but in terms of keeping promises, Zi Mansion has outstanding features. If you make a promise, you will have fewer trust, and if you make a promise, you will have to pay attention to it, you will have to pay attention to it. Trust more. Nowadays, everyone knows Mr. Qingping's name. What's even more rare is that everyone believes in Mr. Qingping's credibility. As long as it is his promise, it will be like real money and silver, so heroes from all sides have gathered He, the future master of Taoism, deserves his name."

Qin Su was a little embarrassed and had to explain: "The so-called "the future master of Taoist sect" is actually something that some people deliberately said to please and praise Zifu. Zifu never claimed to be a public or private person. The future master of Taoist sect…”

"But he actually thinks so in his heart." Li Daoxu interrupted Qin Su.

Qin Su was suffocated and speechless.

Although Li Xuan did not claim to himself like this, he never shyly or covers up. Instead, he had some unscrupulous thoughts. Apart from elders like Li Daoxu and Qin Qing, Li Xuan did not think that other peers were more qualified to be the chief sect of the Taoist sect than him, just as he thought that no one was more worthy of Qin Su than him.

Although the Sword Immortal of Zifu became Mr. Qingping, he no longer acted impulsively and restrained his sharpness, restraining his sharpness does not mean lacking sharpness. Li Xuandu's spirit is still there, which is also the reason why he boldly pursued Qin Su at the time, even if he is Qingwei Sect lost power and had not recovered its cultivation level after experiencing a decline. However, he never felt that he was not worthy of Qin Qing's pearl. This is true. Now everyone says that Miss Qin is wise and can tell early that Li Xuan, who has not yet jumped through the Dragon Gate, is a golden carp, but no one has ever said that Miss Qin has seen it away. The eyes are entrusted to be a good person.

Li Xuandu seems to be humble and polite on the surface, but in fact he has his own pride inside. He has such a personality. As a master and adoptive father, Li Daoxu naturally knows this disciple and adoptive son very well, so he hits the nail on the head. Qin Su was unwilling and dared not deceive Li Daoxu in person, so he could only agree.

Li Daoxu smiled and said, "This is the right way to be loyal. The sage said, "You should be loyal, and you will not give in to your teacher."

Qin Su stood up and said, "The Purple Mansion has no such intention."

Li Feiyan's breath also condensed.

Li Daoxu pressed his subordinates and signaled Qin Su to sit down. He still said in a gentle tone: "Disciples don't have to be inferior to teachers. Whether they have this intention or not, there is nothing wrong with them."

Qin Su sat back in his position, still unable to grasp Li Daoxu's thoughts, and subconsciously looked at Li Feiyan.

But Li Feiyan could only shake her head slightly. She had never seen through this senior brother over the years.

Li Daoxu said: "Today we are talking about family affairs. Master and disciple are like father and son, and sects are like family. In the past ten years, all the disputes in the big family of Qingwei Sect are all because of one thing, that is, I'm old. It’s not too long since I was alive, and I am not Xu Wugui, so I have no idea of ​​staying in the world for a hundred years. Once I die, I will have a new head of the family. But those hall masters and elders are not old yet, and they still have I have to stay in the world for a lot of time, so I have to consider the future and continue the current power so that I will not be able to do it once. I can understand their ideas, so I never oppose constraints."

"The problem is that after my eldest disciple died, no one could truly convince the public. Until today's Zifu stood up. He is the one who can compete with me, the old mansion, the key is that he is still very young. He is even younger than the hall masters and elders, which is most appropriate. If we hand over the transition smoothly, it is the best situation, but if we have differences, it will become a dilemma."

"The Zifu should understand such a simple truth, but I don't know if he has ever thought about it. Why are there still many people standing on the side of me, an old man who has not lived for a long time, instead of on his side? These people are not afraid of being Will I be liquidated by the new master in a hundred years?”

Qin Su's face turned solemnly, and she said solemnly: "Please give me advice from Master."

Li Daoxu said: "It's very simple. Some things are not about my gains and losses. Just like your father Qin Qing, Liaodong is not just about him. Many times, he is in his position and plans for his politics. Even we are uncontrollable. The final result depends on God's will."

After saying that, Li Daoxu looked at Qin Su deeply.

This sentence is already very explicit and straightforward, and Qin Su cannot understand it.

Qin Su understood, this was an answer that would not be answered. Li Daoxu did not let Qin Su say what he wanted to say, but also gave an answer.

As for why Qin Su was not allowed to say it out loud, why Li Daoxu's answer was to be confused again, the reason is very simple. The questions raised by Li Xuan are real, and everyone knows them but deliberately avoids them because Li Xuan They are now standing on the high ground of morality and raising this question in a reasonable and in accordance with the rules.

Whether it is a sect or a court, there is an unwritten tradition. That is, small matters that are irrelevant can be discussed widely, important matters are decided secretly by a few people, and those that are truly life-and-death are determined by one person.

Take Li Xuan as an example. It is obvious that Li Xuan is right when it comes to the situation in the imperial capital and the world, and it is wrong to continue to die to protect Xie Zhi. If it is proposed at the Taoist Conference that thirty-six real people are listed, and in full view of everyone, will Li Daoxu answer not? If it is an answer, what kind of answer and practical solution should be given to satisfy the world? Can Li Daoxu talk about the gains, losses, benefits and harms of the whole world? This is because some things are not weighing four ounces without weighing a scale, and even if you weigh a thousand pounds, you can’t beat it even if you weigh it.

Widely discussing is to put things on the table in public, while Li Daoxu said that he would not talk about the world but only talk about family affairs, and there were only three people here. This is to talk privately, and many things can be spoken freely without much scruples. .

Qin Su let out a long breath of turbid air: "Inherit the teachings."
