As he was speaking, Li Xuandu suddenly heard a warm voice: "Purple Mansion." ”

Li Xuandu turned his head to look, only to see a middle-aged Confucian scholar standing not far away, looking at his face about the age of not confused, elegant and elegant, wearing a green shirt, not the brocade silk that shows the status of the noble, it is just a simple cloth clothes, although it is a pair of temples and star frost, but the face is still handsome, and you can vaguely see how jade trees are in the wind when they are young, but men are like old wine, the older they are, the more mellow they are, and the years not only can not make their bearing deteriorate, but they have a little more "mellow taste" that has been precipitated over time , but it is far beyond the reach of young men.

Li Xuandu was stunned at first, and then he was overjoyed, and said, "Xuandu has seen Mr. Xu. ”

"The Purple Mansion doesn't have to be so polite. The Confucian man held Li Xuandu, his eyes were warm and clear, making people feel like a spring breeze.

Qin Su only thought about it slightly, and then knew that the identity of this person was the master of Jianxiu Mountain that Li Xuandu had mentioned, and he also saluted: "Qin Su has seen Mr. Xu. ”

Mr. Xu looked at Qin Su and returned the salute: "Miss Qin, Xu has heard it for a long time, and he is polite." ”

Qin Su smiled lightly: "I don't dare to be Mr. Xu like this." ”

Mr. Xu laughed, and then looked at the two people behind Li Xuandu: "Who are these two?"

"I haven't introduced Mr. Xu yet. Li Xuandu said: "These two are friends I just met. ”

The ranger surnamed Zhang hugged his fists and said: "Nobody Zhang is not surprised. ”

The scholar surnamed Xu bowed his hand: "The late Xu Youren." ”

Mr. Xu just returned the salute, but did not report his name.

Li Xuan knew that this was not because Mr. Xu was arrogant, but because Mr. Xu's identity was too unusual. Mr. Xu was originally a member of the royal family, born to a mother with Emperor Shizong, and was the king of Qi during the Ming Yong period, advocating Taoism, he liked to visit immortals when he was young, he was good at reading and playing the piano, he was good at arguing and being good at writing, he didn't like to play and hunt, he paid attention to soothing the people, and was famous all over the world. It once attracted thousands of guests and magicians, causing the emperor to be angry and reprimanded several times.

After the death of Emperor Sejong, Emperor Muzong ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne, and he was a little jealous of this imperial uncle, and there were many demeaning actions, and another nephew, King Jin, had many slanders, and Zhang Suqing and others took great precautions against the rejection of the clan, Mr. Xu asked his nephew for the beautiful land of Jianxiu Mountain, and with the financial resources of the palace, it took three years to open up this place, and then lived in seclusion. Later, for some reason, Emperor Muzong ordered the Zongren Mansion to change the King of Qi to pass away, and built a mausoleum in Cuiwei Mountain to announce to the world, so for the people of the world, there is no King of Qi in this world, and it is not easy for him to reveal his name at will when he appears here.

Li Xuandu asked, "Is Mr. Xu also here to watch the ceremony?"

Mr. Xu said with a smile: "Exactly, I have believed in Taoism since I was a child, and when I was young, I liked to visit immortals and ask questions, and I have attracted thousands of guests and magicians, so naturally I can't get around the Taoist ancestral court, and I have a friendship with many Taoist masters here, this time the Great Heavenly Master personally invited me, and I also had to come." ”

"I see. Li Xuandu smiled and said, "That's just the right time to go together." ”

As he was talking, a middle-aged Taoist with two young Taoists walked over quickly, gave a simplified bow to the three of them, and asked, "I wonder if a few distinguished guests have invitations?"

Li Xuandu and Qin Su each took out the invitation card and handed it to the Zhike Taoist.

This is a happy event, because of the large number of visitors, so the invitation is divided into "heaven and earth Xuanhuang" four grades, even if it is the lowest level of "yellow" invitation, in the rivers and lakes is also a person with a head and a face, "Xuan" name invitation is the head of each sect, the gang leader, the owner of the villa, and the old man with a surname. The "earth" invitation is even more remarkable, most of them are elders and seniors of major sects, powerful figures, children of the Xuanhe family, or masters of the rivers and lakes in the realm of heaven and man, or high-ranking officials above the third rank in the public gate.

When Zhike Taoist saw that the invitation card of the two was actually an invitation with the name "land", his eyelids jumped.

The "yellow" invitation and the "Xuan" invitation are issued in the name of Zhengyizong, and the guests holding this invitation are arranged uniformly, and the "land" invitation is sent by the major leaders of Zhengyizong, and the invitation will clearly indicate who invited, so that Zhikedao people can easily arrange guests according to the identity of the person who invited.

Zhike Daoist respectfully took the two chapters of invitations, opened the invitations and took a look, they turned out to be invitations sent by Xiao Tianshi and Su Xianzi, these two are the protagonists of the big gift, and the guests they invited are naturally unusual.

Zhike Taoist then looked down, only to see that the little heavenly master's invitation card had the words "Li Xuandu" written on it, and the word "Qin Su" written on Fairy Su's invitation card.

Although there was no prefix on the invitation, the Zhikedao people immediately knew the identities of the two and were surprised. In the "46 Dispute" back then, this Mr. Li was a big trouble for the Zhengyi Sect, but now after being expelled from the division by that Great Sword Immortal, he actually turned enemies into friends? As for Miss Qin, it is even more incredible, after all, the matter between the "Heavenly Sword" and the Bai Sect Master is not a secret of the rivers and lakes, and logically speaking, the relationship between Miss Qin and the Cihang Sect should not be so close.

Thinking of this, the Zhike Taoist looked at the middle-aged Confucian again.

Mr. Xu smiled slightly and handed out his invitation.

If you say that you see two "earth" invitations, you are just surprised, but when you see a "sky" invitation, you are shocked. Because the "Tian" invitation is sent by the Heavenly Master himself, the person who can get the Tianzi invitation is either the head of a sect, or the person who came to watch the ceremony instead of the sect master.

Zhike Daoren's mind turned sharply: "The twelve sects of the righteous path, in addition to the Zhengyi sect of their own family and the Cihang Sect of their own family, there are also ten sect masters, Qingwei Sect, Jing Zen Sect, Donghua Sect, Miaozhen Sect, Shenxiao Sect, Faxiang Sect, The Shingon Sect has indicated that the sect master will not come in person, and the Jing Zen sect has closed the mountain and closed the temple for many years, and it is reasonable that the Shingon Sect and the Faxiang Sect are because the sect master is in retreat, as for the other four sects, they are all old opponents, but in any case, these sects still sent the real power figures in the sect to come, and the rest of the sects are the sect masters themselves, but no matter which sect master or the real power elders, hall masters, there are no such figures. ”

He read the invitation and there was no problem, so he respectfully returned the invitation to Mr. Xu: "A few people, please come with me." ”

Whether it is a "day" invitation or a "ground" invitation, they have the qualifications to carry their entourage, and when they saw Zhang Bujing and Xu Youren walking with the three of them, they did not ask for the invitation again, and personally led the group to the mountain.

Along the way, the number of guests decreased significantly, after all, there were only a few invitations in the size of "sky" and "earth".

Li Xuandu asked, "Dare to ask Dao Chief, how many people will be watching the ceremony this time?"

The Zhike Taoist who led the way thought for a moment and replied, "There can be about a thousand people." ”

Zhang Buxin said: "So few? I thought there could be four or five thousand people." ”

Zhike Daoist smiled slightly: "With the name and friendship of the Zhengyi Sect and the Cihang Sect, not to mention four or five thousand people, there are tens of thousands of people, but the Dazhen Mansion can't accommodate so many people, so I have to raise the threshold, and these more than 1,000 people are all people who can enter the Dazhen Mansion with an invitation card in hand to watch the ceremony." Other people who don't have invitations want to come to have a good time, or to ask for a lottery, we don't refuse, but we can't go to the Dazhen Mansion to watch the ceremony. There are a large number of inns and liquor stores in Shangqing Town and Shangqing County, and many visitors can stay on their own. ”

Li Xuandu nodded, understanding in his heart. When it comes to the status of Zhengyizong, there is no need to use the number of people to fill face, and there is no need to make a big deal to show their status in the rivers and lakes in this kind of thing.

As he spoke, several people could already see the Dazhen Mansion in the distance, and at this time, a young Taoist stood in front of the main gate of the Dazhen Mansion.
