Taiping Inn

As a master of Vajra Sect, Wuzhen didn't care much about Li Xuandu's gratitude. The words he said just now were of good intentions, but they were not what he really wanted to say, just like a banquet. , the main course has not been served yet.

The old monk said softly: "I am not the original intention of this journey north of the Taiyin corpse that is about to be born. I just received a letter from Su Yunba's flying sword in the middle of the journey. I came here, but I didn't expect to see him here. It was both a coincidence and a fate when we arrived at Mr. Li, so we had a few words to say to Mr. Li, and I hope Mr. Li will not dislike me of the noise. "

Li Xuandu smiled and said, "Master, please speak."

The old monk pondered and said slowly: "Mr. Ling is so talented and knowledgeable. Looking at the entire world, there is no one who can compare with him. Ling's status is also a place in the world, and everyone respects him. It is often unexpected to make the teacher act and does not follow the common sense..."

Before Wuzhen could finish his words, Li Xuan said seriously: "If my family teacher treats me with kindness again, I will not dare to hear my teacher's fault."

Wuzhen seemed to have expected that Li Xuan would say this, saying: "Although I am a Buddhist disciple, I am also familiar with the subtle meaning of Confucian sages. Confucian sages said: heaven, earth, king, relative, and teacher, and there are words in it. :'If a father fights for his son, he will not fall into unrighteousness. Therefore, if he should be unrighteous, the son should not fight against his father, and the ministers should not fight against the king. Therefore, if he should be unrighteous, he will fight against him. Follow the father's order, how can he get it Is it filial piety? 'Mr. Li had a close relationship with Confucian Zhang Suqing, and I think he knew the truth of the saint. How could he explain this? '

Li Xuan hesitated for a moment and said, "The Confucian sage means that if a father has a son who dares to speak out, he will not do unkind and righteous things. So when a father does unjust things, he will not be a son. You should obey your father blindly, but you should speak frankly against your father. Similarly, when a king makes unrighteous actions, you should not obey the king as a minister, but you should also speak frankly. The sage talks about filial piety, but you should not obey. If you should follow the situation, you should be filial and not obedient. If you ignore the reality and blindly follow your parents and get into unrighteousness, you are unfilial."

After saying this, Li Xuan already knew what Wuzhen said next, so he had to listen.

As expected, Wuzhen smiled slightly after hearing this: "Master, Master, Master, is a master and a father. Within the same sect, Master and disciple are both king and minister, and father and son. Sometimes the closest one is not the father and son, but the master and disciple. The son will The kindness of parents is taken for granted, and the disciples regard the kindness of master as a reward. If you repay the kindness of teachers, you must never put your master in an unjust situation. This is what Mr. Li said just now that he is filial but not obedient. Since he is filial but not obedient, he is filial but not obedient. , how come he said, "Don't dare to hear the teacher's faults?" If he doesn't hear the master's faults, how can he speak out for his struggles? If he doesn't speak out for his struggles, wouldn't he put his master in a state of unjust? "

Li Xuandu sighed lightly: "I heard for a long time that people in Buddhism are unparalleled in eloquence. I have seen you today. I really have learned it. I will ask the master to continue talking."

Wuzhen said: "If I remember correctly, Mr. Li will rank fourth among the disciples of Master Ling. I wonder if Mr. Li knows that your junior sister, Lu Yanbing, who is famous on the Shaoxuan List, is already in Qingluanwei. Serving in the middle?”

Li Xuandu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, "I'm going to know about this, but I not only know about it, but also competed with my junior sister."

Wu Zhen sighed lightly and said, "Since Mr. Li already knows this, in his opinion, is this just a move by Ling Mei or a move by your sect?"

Li Xuan was speechless.

With his understanding of Lu Yanbing, although she was a little ambitious, she would never dare to disobey her master. Then, as soon as she turned into one of the three right governors of Qingluan Guard, this matter was quite interesting.

There are some things that Li Xuan doesn't want to think deeply, not that he can't guess.

This is not a difficult problem.

The winner is never on the surface. Some people lose face and lose the inner world, and they can only block the mountain. Some people lose face and lose face and lose the inner world, and they can only close the temple. Some people lose face but win the inner world, so It is to win if you can't win.

This was clearly stated as early as when Yan Feiqing and Li Xuan had a deep conversation.

Wu Zhen saw Li Xuandu's expression and knew the answer, and then said, "Mr. Ling's actions, not to mention the motives, have made Zhengyi Sect extremely dissatisfied. They are all two pillars of the righteous path. I am afraid of this. Things are not easy to get out of order. If a dispute arises, no matter which side wins, both sides will lose countless masters, which is not a blessing for the righteous alliance."

Li Xuan looked at the old monk and asked knowingly, "What does the master mean?"

Wuzhen said: "If Mr. Li is willing to talk about the situation, please ask the teacher to put the people of the world first and the sects of the right path first and eliminate a great disaster invisible, then all the people of the world will remember the kindness and kindness of Mr. Li and Mr. Ling. , the sect leader Yan and Fairy Su were also willing to offer the 'Zhu Guo' and 'Changshengquan' needed for Mr. Li, and give him the gift of thanks."

After hearing this unexpected answer, Li Xuan was calm and felt a little touched.

From the initial Zhang Luanshan entrusting people to the rescue, to Yu Qingning deliberately giving in to him in Taiping Inn, and then the palace officials met him in Ping'an County, Yan Feiqing later sent a help from Fenglei, and Yu Qingning delivered the " The recipe for the Five Qi True Pill, and then met with Su Yunying in Guanque Inn, and still talked with this "Golden Body Arhat" at Guanque Inn.

Everything is to lay the groundwork for this sentence.

Before he went out into the martial arts world, the various sects of the righteous path had already shown a tendency to be on the verge of a war. After he was lured back into the martial arts world by Zhang Luanshan’s favor, everyone thought he was the key person and that he could turn the situation around. Therefore, his journey into the martial arts world was safe and sound, and many masters came to him, making him stand at the forefront unintentionally. The reason for this was definitely not as simple as a Purple Mansion Sword Immortal.

As for whether he was the key person, Li Xuandu thought he was not.

After the second year of Tianbao, he was taken back to the sect by his second senior brother. He first recuperated, then cultivated his mind and temper, and reflected. He only left the sect once, to take back Zhang Baiyue's ashes from Zhang Luanshan, and then went to Jianxiushan to bury them. In the rest of the time, he was like a scholar who didn't hear anything outside the window. Although a scholar knows everything in the world without going out, the "books" in Li Xuandu's hands were all given by the sect. What he wanted to know and what he didn't want to know, what should be written in the "book" and what should not be written were all decided by the sect. So it was reasonable that Li Xuandu didn't know about many things.

Thinking of this, Li Xuandu's mood rippled slightly, and he couldn't help but sighed.

Some things, whether right or wrong, only success or failure.

No matter how lofty and magnificent your starting point is, how you care about the people, and how it concerns the world, if you fail, you fail, and you have to give others an explanation. There is no such thing as making a decision without taking the consequences. Someone has to take responsibility for it.

If it is in the court, if a battle is lost, the general leading the army will be blamed and be beheaded, and the ministers who advocate the war will be dismissed. Even the emperor will lose his prestige and even have to hand over some power to his ministers. In all dynasties, the local areas are strong while the court is weak.

Even in the martial arts world, if you kill a whole family, you must be prepared for the escaped fish to come to you for revenge after many years. There is no reason to kill everyone and come up with all kinds of reasons when they come to you for revenge.

This is the case in the court and the martial arts world, so how can Li Xuandu be detached from it?

Because of the change in the imperial capital, he had lost power in his master's sect. The realm of cultivation can still make a comeback, but this kind of loss of power is a setback, so he did not think he would be the key person to turn the tide.

But in this matter, Li Xuandu's own thoughts are not important, the key is how others see him.

Li Xuandu pondered for a moment, and said softly: "When you receive a favor from someone, you must repay it. The great justice of the world is the responsibility of every man. Since the master has said so, I will do my best. But at this moment, I still have to deal with the Zaoge Sect. I wonder if the master agrees?"

Wuzhen smiled slightly: "Of course."
