Taiping Inn

Li Xuandu was silent for a long time. This time was long enough for Qin Su to notice something was wrong. The blush on her face gradually faded, and she looked up at Li Xuandu.

Li Daoxu did not look at the two people, but looked out the door, tapping the handrail with his fingers.

Since he thought that Li Xuandu would be the "Ganxia" hexagram corresponding to himself, he did not mind giving this fourth disciple more time.

After a long time, Li Xuandu slowly said: "Master, at the end of last summer, because of the invitation of an old friend, I went to Huainan Prefecture in Luzhou, and then went to Jiangling Prefecture in Jingzhou, Longmen Prefecture in Zhongzhou, Jinling Prefecture in Jiangzhou, Langya Prefecture in Qizhou, etc. When I was in Longmen Prefecture in Zhongzhou, I was involved in a plot of Zaoge Sect. I joined forces with Master Wuzhen of Vajra Sect, Yan Feiqing of Zhengyi Sect, Su Yun'an of Cihang Sect, Madam Lu of Taiping Sect, and others to summon fellow Taoists from all over the country to jointly attack Beimang Mountain and invade. In the Changsheng Palace, the three altar masters and one hall master of Zaoge Sect were finally killed, and the Taiyin corpse was destroyed. Even the leader of Zaoge Sect, Old Man Zang, and General Tang Han, who was waiting behind, were defeated by the second senior brother. I think the master should know about this. "

Li Daoxu nodded: "I already know about this, you did a good job."

Li Xuandu said: "Before the attack on Beimang Mountain, Master Wuzhen had a long talk with his disciples."

Li Daoxu did not speak, waiting for Li Xuandu's next words.

Li Xuandu said slowly: "Master Wuzhen said: 'Your master's talent is high, and there are few people who can compare with you in the whole world. Your master's status and position are also respected in the world, and no one disrespects him, but your master's actions are often unexpected and unconventional. 'When he said this, the disciple interrupted him: 'My master treats me with kindness as if my parents were reborn, and I should not and dare not hear the master's faults. '"

Li Daoxu smiled and said: "Wuzhen, the old monk, has long been He studied Confucianism in his early years, encountered misfortunes in his middle age, and his family fell into decline. He then changed to studying Buddhism. He has some knowledge, and what he said is not unreasonable, and it cannot be considered wrong. "

Li Xuandu said: "Master Wuzhen asked his disciples again: 'If a father fights for his son, he will not fall into injustice. Therefore, when it is unjust, the son cannot help fighting against the father, and the minister cannot help fighting against the king. Therefore, when it is unjust, fight against it, and follow the father's orders. How can it be filial? What does this mean? '"

Hearing this, Li Daoxu has already restrained the smile on his face.

Li Xuandu continued, "The disciple had no choice but to answer, 'This is what the Confucian saint said, which means that if a father has a son who dares to speak out, he will not do unjust things. So when a father does something unjust, the son should not blindly obey his father, but should speak out to his father to protest. Similarly, when the king does something unjust, the minister should not obey the king, but should also speak out to protest. The saints talk about filial piety, and we should be filial, but we don't have to obey. We should obey when we should obey, and we should be filial but not obey when we shouldn't obey. If we ignore the reality and blindly follow, and put our parents in an unjust situation, it is unfilial.'"

When he said this, the hesitation and struggle on Li Xuandu's face had completely disappeared, leaving only a solemn and serious expression, and he looked up at Li Daoxu.

Li Daoxu remained calm.

Li Daoxu took a deep breath and said, "Master is both a teacher and a father. In a sect, the master and the disciple are both the monarch and the minister, and the father and the son. Sometimes the closest relationship is not between the father and the son, but between the master and the disciple. The son takes the kindness of his parents for granted, and the disciple takes the kindness of the master as a reward. But to repay the kindness of the teacher, you must never put the master in an unjust situation, which is filial piety without obedience. Since you are filial but not obedient, how can you say "dare not hear the master's faults"? If you don't hear the master's faults, how can you speak out and fight? If you don't speak out and fight, won't you put the master in an unjust situation?"

After the voice fell, the whole Jingxin Hall was silent.

After a short silence, Li Daoxu said, "Since it is a family matter between the master and the disciple, please ask Miss Qin to visit the other courtyard for a while."

Qin Su immediately stood up, but her eyes were looking at Li Xuandu. Seeing Li Xuandu nodded slightly, she left the Jingxin Hall.

Only the master and the disciple were left in the Jingxin Hall.

Li Daoxu's tone was no longer as gentle as before, and gradually turned cold: "What else?"

Li Xuandu stood up from the chair and said in a deep voice: "Disciple wants to ask Master, why did Fifth Junior Sister Lu Yanbing become the guard of Empress Dowager Xie, and then served as the Right Commander of Qingluan Guard, why did Third Senior Brother go to the Imperial Capital at the critical moment when the two parties of the Emperor and the Empress were fighting? What is the relationship between our Qingwei Sect and the Empress Dowager?"

Li Daoxu's face was already a little unhappy: "Even if Master has promised Zhang Haishi to let you be the head of Tianwei Hall, these questions are not what you should ask."

Li Xuandu said calmly: "Today, I am not asking the old master as the head of Tianwei Hall, nor as the fourth master. I am just asking the master as a disciple and asking my father as a son."

Li Daoxu has been in charge of Qingwei Sect for decades, leading Qingwei Sect to its current status, competing with Zhengyi Sect, which has been the only one to uphold the righteous way for thousands of years; in the Yuxu Sword Fight at Yuxu Peak of Kunlun Mountain, he defeated "Demon Knife" Song Zheng with three swords, and became famous in the world, and was respected as the "God of Sword Dao"; the "Four Six Dispute" won without winning, making Zhengyi Sect lose without losing. Such achievements made him arrogant to the princes, the ministers, and the people of the world. It is because of this that he would look around with his sword, and all of them were rotten soldiers. The solitary yang cannot grow, the solitary yin cannot grow, the heroes are helpless, and the long sword is useless. Isn't it sad?

Now that Li Xuandu has drawn his sword, "Gan Shang Gan Xia" combined into Qian Gua today, Li Daoxu's heartstrings that have been silent for a long time are quietly tightened again.

Li Daoxu softened his tone a little, and even smiled a little: "Since you asked, I can tell you. After the 'Four-Six Dispute', Zhang Suqing, who was supported by our Qingwei Sect, was defeated, and Empress Dowager Xie Zhi, who was supported by Zhengyi Sect, won a great victory. Zhengyi Sect should have taken the opportunity to enter the temple, but Xie Zhi was afraid of the power of Zhengyi Sect, and was afraid that Zhengyi Sect would support the young emperor and make her, the empress dowager, a decoration. So she came from the Imperial Capital to this Bajing Courtyard to see me, knelt in front of me, and asked me to help her resist Zhengyi Sect."

Li Xuandu's face suddenly turned pale, his body shook slightly, and he asked with difficulty: "Then...what's next?"

Li Daoxu's tone did not fluctuate at all: "For the sake of Qingwei Sect, I have no reason not to agree."

Although Li Xuandu had guessed it long ago, he was still shocked when he heard the truth from his master.

He almost lost his life because of Zhang Suqing, not just because of the so-called "Four-Six Dispute", because he believed that Zhang Suqing could make the world better, and the Queen Mother Xie Zhi exchanged the country's power for power, which was not worthy of the position. In fact, as he had foreseen, after Zhang Suqing's death, the Xie family came to power, and the government made mistakes again and again. Those dignitaries and high officials no longer had to worry about Zhang Suqing's new policies hurting them, but the whole world was in tatters. Because Qin Xiang was involved, the originally recovered Northwest Qinzhou and Liangzhou fell again, and even Shuzhou was added; the northeastern border was in war again, and the Qingyang Sect took the opportunity to cause chaos. The external troubles have come to this, but the court is still fighting endlessly, putting party disputes above state affairs.

This year is the seventh year of Tianbao, and it has been five years since the second year of Tianbao. But in these five years, the Qingyang Sect has changed from a secret society to a behemoth that can stir up the situation in several states. The local tyrants of the Five Sects in the Northwest actually established a Great Zhou to compete with the Wei Dynasty.

It was because of these that Li Xuandu became more and more certain of his original choice. The Xie family was not qualified to be the country. It was also because of this that Li Xuandu always believed that he was on the right path and would never regret it.

Now, his master, the man who was like a king and a father, told him that in fact, the Qingwei Sect had already parted ways with him. What he insisted on and believed in had long been abandoned and thrown away by the Qingwei Sect, and the Qingwei Sect now stood on the opposite side of him and stood behind that woman.

What is the Qingwei Sect? It is his home and the place where he grew up. Now, this family has gradually drifted away from him. In the past, he and this family could have the same path, but now they are on different paths and should go their separate ways.

How could Li Xuandu not be heartbroken and sad?

Li Xuandu said sadly: "For the sake of the people of the world, Master should not agree."
