Li Xuandu was silent for a long time. This time was so long that Qin Su also noticed that something was wrong, and the flush on his face gradually receded, and he looked up at Li Xuandu.

Li Daoxu didn't look at the two, but raised his eyes to look out of the door, and his fingers lightly tapped the armrest.

Since he thought that Li Xuandu would be the "Qianxia" hexagram corresponding to him, he didn't mind giving this fourth disciple some more time.

After a long time, Li Xuandu slowly spoke: "Master, at the end of last summer, because of the invitation of the deceased, the disciple went to Huainan Mansion in Luzhou, and then traveled to Jiangling Mansion in Jingzhou, Longmen Mansion in Zhongzhou, Jinling Mansion in Jiangzhou, Langya Mansion in Qizhou and other places. Mrs. Lu and others of the Taiping Sect joined forces, gathered people from all over the world, jointly crusaded against Beibi Mountain, attacked the Immortal Palace, and finally killed the three altar masters and one hall master of the Soap Pavilion Sect, and destroyed the Taiyin corpse. ”

Li Daoxu nodded: "I already know about this matter, you have done a good job." ”

Li Xuandu said: "Before the crusade against Beibi Mountain, Master Wuzhen once had a long conversation with his disciples. ”

Li Daoxu didn't speak, waiting for Li Xuandu's next words.

Li Xuandu said slowly: "Master Wuzhen said: 'The talent of the master is so high, looking at the entire rivers and lakes, it is also a rare person who can be compared, and the identity and status of the master are also respected in the rivers and lakes, and no one is disrespectful, but the master acts often unexpectedly and not according to common sense. When he said this, the disciple interrupted him: "If my teacher treats me with kindness to my parents, I should not and dare not hear about my teacher's faults." ’”

Li Daoxu smiled and said: "Wuzhen, an old monk, studied Confucianism in his early years, encountered an accident in middle age, and his family fell into the middle of the road, so he changed to study Buddhism. ”

Li Xuandu said: "Master Wuzhen asked his disciple again: 'If the father has a quarrel with the son, then the body will not fall into injustice. Therefore, when it is unjust, the son cannot fight against the father, and the minister cannot fight against the king. Therefore, when there is injustice, it is to fight for it, and to obey the Father's order, and how can it be filial piety?

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

Li Xuandu continued: "The disciple had no choice but to reply: 'This is what the Confucian sages said, which means that if the father has a son who dares to speak out, he will not do anything unjust. Therefore, when a father does something unrighteous, the son should not blindly obey the father, but should speak out to the father, and in the same way, when the king commits unrighteousness, the courtier should not obey the king, but should also speak out against it. The sage talks about filial piety, and he must be filial, but he does not have to be obedient. If it should be smooth, it should be smooth, and when it should not be smooth, it should be filial piety and not obedient. If you blindly obey the reality and trap your parents in injustice, it is unfilial. ’”

When he said this, the hesitation and struggle on Li Xuandu's face was completely gone, and only the dignified color remained, looking up at Li Daoxu.

Li Daoxu remained silent.

Li Daoxu took a deep breath and said, "Master, for the master and for the father." Within a sect, the master and the disciple are both the monarch and the minister, and the father and the son, and sometimes the closest person is not the father and the son, but the master and the apprentice. The son takes the kindness of his parents for granted, and the disciple regards the kindness of the master as a repayment. If you can repay the teacher's kindness, you must not put the master in an unrighteous situation, which is also filial piety and disobedience. If we are filial and disobedient, how can we say that we dare not hear about the mistakes of the master? If we do not hear the mistakes of the master, how can we speak up and fight? If we do not speak out and resist, will we not put the master in an unrighteous situation?"

The words fell, and there was silence in the entire meditation hall.

After Li Daoxu was silent for a while, he said: "Since it is a family matter between master and apprentice, let's first ask Miss Qin to visit the other courtyard for the time being." ”

Qin Su immediately got up, but his eyes were looking at Li Xuandu. Seeing that Li Xuandu bowed slightly, he withdrew from the meditation hall.

There were only two masters and apprentices left in the meditation hall.

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

Li Xuandu got up from his chair and said in a deep voice: "The disciple wants to ask the master about it, why did the fifth senior sister Lu Yanbing become the escort of the Empress Dowager Xie, and later served as the right governor of Qingluan Wei, why did the third senior brother go to the imperial capital at the critical moment when the two parties of the emperor and queen were fighting?

Li Daoxu's face was already a little displeased: "Even if the teacher has promised Zhang Haishi to make you the master of Tianwei Hall, these words are not for you to ask." ”

Li Xuandu said calmly: "The disciple is not asking the old sect master as the hall master of Tianwei Hall today, nor is he asking the old sect master as Mr. Fourth, he is just asking the master as a disciple and asking his father as a son. ”

Li Daoxu has been in charge of the Qing Weizong for decades, leading the Qing Weizong to its current status, and fighting against the Zhengyi Sect that has respected the righteous path for thousands of years; The battle of 46 "won without victory, making Zhengyizong undefeated and defeated." Such a feat made him proud of the prince, slow prince, and despised the people of the world. Because of this, he will look around with his sword, and they are all rotten soldiers. The solitary yang is not born, the lonely yin is not long, the heroes are tied, the long sword is empty, and it is sad.

Now that Li Xuandu has already shown his sword, the "dry up and down" synthetic hexagram is today, and Li Daoxu's heartstrings, which have been silent for a long time, are quietly tightened.

Li Daoxu softened his tone slightly, and even had a slight smile on his face: "Since you asked so, then the teacher can also tell you." After the '46 dispute' of that year, Zhang Suqing, who was supported by our Qingwei Sect, was defeated, and the Empress Dowager Xie Pheasant, who was supported by Zhengyizong, won a big victory, which should have been the opportunity to enter the temple, but Xie Pheasant was afraid that Zhengyizong would support the little emperor and make her, the queen mother, an ornament, so she personally came to this Bajing Villa from the imperial capital to ask to see me, knelt in front of me, and begged me to help her resist Zhengyizong. ”

Li Xuandu's face suddenly turned pale, his figure shook slightly, and he asked with difficulty, "Yet...... And then what?"

Li Daoxu's tone did not fluctuate without any fluctuations: "For the sake of the Qingwei Sect, I have no reason not to agree." ”

Although Li Xuandu had already guessed, when he really heard the truth from his master's mouth, his heart was still shaken.

Back then, he almost lost his life because of Zhang Suqing, not only because of the so-called "46 dispute", because he thought that Zhang Suqing could make this world better, and the Empress Dowager Xie Pheasant exchanged power for the country, and virtue was not worthy, in fact, as he foresaw, after Zhang Suqing's death, the Xie family was in power, and the government made mistakes again and again. The high-ranking officials no longer need to be afraid that Zhang Suqing's new policy will hurt them, but the whole world is full of holes, because Qin Xiang was involved in it, the northwest Qinzhou and Liangzhou, which had already been recovered, fell again, not to mention, and even added a Shuzhou; war broke out again on the northeast border, and the Qingyang Sect took the opportunity to cause chaos. The external troubles have come to this, but the internal struggle within the court is still endless, putting party struggle above state affairs.

This year is the seventh year of Tianbao, and it has just passed 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 five sects in the northwest were the local heroes who set up a Great Zhou to fight against the Great Wei court.

It is precisely because of these that Li Xuandu is more and more sure of his original choice, the Xie family is not enough to be a country, and because of this, Li Xuandu has always believed that he is on the right path and has no regrets.

Now, his master, the man who is like a gentleman and a father, told him that in fact, Qingweizong had already parted ways with him, and what he insisted on and what he believed in had long been abandoned and thrown away by Qingweizong, and Qingweizong was now standing on the opposite side of him, standing behind that woman.

What is Qingwei Sect? It is his home, and it is the place where he grew up. Now, this family has gradually drifted away from him, and in the past he conspired with this family, but now he is different from each other, and he should part ways.

This makes Li Xuandu how not to be heartbroken and how not to be sad.

Li Xuandu said sadly: "For the livelihood of the world, the master should not agree. ”
