Chapter Forty-Eight: Walking the Rivers and Lakes

Li Xuandu was surprised in his heart, but his face was not half a point. He secretly thought: "My performance just now is very different from my usual self, it is simply the difference between an old scholar and a prodigal, even the second senior brother and Lu Yanbing are difficult to distinguish." Shuning is still young, and she must not be able to compare with Lao Jianghu in terms of knowing people, so it is unlikely that she found flaws in my words and deeds. Su Su once said that this 'Baihua Spiritual Face' can not only change the appearance, but also the gas and voice, and it is impossible to find an abnormality in my appearance and voice. By the way, she has the 'Heavenly Eye Communication' in the 'Sitting and Forgetting Zen Gong', and she is expected to have magical powers, which should be a flaw in this aspect. However, now that I have been promoted to the Heavenly and Human Realm, compared to the original True Realm, there are three more methods of attainment, and the route of qi is different, so Shuning is probably not sure. ”

Thinking of this, Li Xuandu calmed down for a moment and said: "This girl guessed wrong, Neizi is not surnamed Qin, but surnamed Bai." ”

Zhou Shuning frowned, she was not very sure, it was more out of a woman's intuition before she opened her mouth to test, seeing that Li Xuandu denied it, she also hesitated a little, and said instead: "It's me who is abrupt." Today, several of us suffered a great disaster, but we were rescued by Your Excellency, and we are very kind, and we don't know how to repay it. Your Excellency's cultivation is profound, but I can't see your teacher's origin, I really admire it. ”

Li Xuandu smiled and said: "Girl, you are so young, how can you talk so old-fashioned? It's not that someone Liu laughs at you, how many people have you seen? Have you ever seen the twenty-two sects of good and evil?"

Zhou Shuning was stunned and didn't know how to answer. The young woman beside her spoke: "Thank you for this official's help, I take the liberty to ask, I don't know where the official's origin is? If the official wants to say that it is the inheritance of Qingluanwei, or what kind of chance came about, then there is no need to say it. ”

This beautiful woman's realm cultivation is not too high, but the experience in the rivers and lakes is rich, she can't see the origin of Li Xuandu's sword technique, but she can feel that Li Xuandu has a good background, plus the matter of the Soap Pavilion Sect's disciple mentioning the Qingwei Sect before leaving, she can't help but suspect that Li Xuandu is a member of the Qingwei Sect, or has something to do with that Zifu Sword Immortal.

Li Xuandu said: "Since this is the case, I will say it bluntly, I am a person from Lu Dudu, and I was taught the exercises of the Qingwei Sect by Lu Dudu, but I am not a person of the Qingwei Sect." ”

"Mr. Five, Lu Yanbing, no wonder, no wonder. When the young woman heard this, she suddenly said, "It's just that I heard that Mr. Five and Mr. Four have a lot of discord......

Li Xuandu coughed lightly: "It's just a rumor, Mr. Four and Mr. Five have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and Mr. Five and Miss Qin are close friends, how can they be at odds?"

Zhou Shuning whispered to the young woman: "I heard my brother say that this fifth gentleman is a wall grass, when my brother is down, the relationship is naturally not good, and now that my brother is making a comeback, it will naturally be a good relationship." ”

Li Xuandu coughed lightly, and just saw the guy who bought him rain gear coming back with an umbrella, and said: "The rain gear has arrived, I should also go, the rivers and lakes are far away, we will meet again." ”

Zhou Shuning said: "Please also leave an address, and the Xuannu Sect will definitely thank you in the future." ”

Li Xuandu wanted to refuse casually, but after thinking about it, he also forgot one thing, those people from the Soap Pavilion Sect were clearly coming for Zhou Shuning, and this matter could not be taken lightly, so he said: "A few girls, I will say one more word, now the world is not peaceful, and the rivers and lakes are not peaceful." To tell you the truth, I came from Wuzhou and once followed Lu Dudu to the Dazhen Mansion to watch the ceremony. On that day, the earth master attacked, the sky was dark, yin and yang were reversed, at that time, the great heavenly master was not in the Great True Mansion, and the three great masters of the Heavenly Transformation Realm relied on the geographical advantage to besiege the earth master, and they still had no choice but to let the earth master come and go freely. There are also people in the evil way who besieged Shangqing County, bombarded Shangqing Town, and half of Shangqing Town was reduced to ruins, which shows the rampant people in the evil way. ”

"Thank you for the reminder. The young woman said solemnly: "It's just that the master is in charge, how can we retreat because the people in the evil path are acting rampantly? and let others think that we are afraid of the people in the evil way!"

Li Xuandu shook his head and said: "You guys, you still don't know what a war of good and evil is, if it's a big war together, it's not a fight, it's not a fight on the Yuxu Peak of Kunlun Mountain, it's not a sword fight, but a protracted battle, one or two fights today, one or two fights tomorrow, sneak attacks, poisoning, plots, and ambushes are all done to the extreme, and the scale will not be too large, as short as a few months, or as long as a few years." In this case, the first priority is how to preserve oneself, not how to kill the enemy. ”

As soon as the young woman wanted to refute, she heard Zhou Shuning say, "Then how do you know this?" ”

Li Xuandu touched his beard and said, "Older, naturally know more things, if you don't believe it, you can ask Sect Master Xiao of the Xuannu Sect to see if what I said is right." This kind of war between good and evil, unless one party can completely destroy the other party, just like when many Jianghu sects joined forces to destroy the Soap Pavilion Sect, it can only be a lose-lose ending, who can survive to the end, who is the winner. ”

Zhou Shuning was silent for a long time, and said: "I have a brother who has begun to walk the rivers and lakes when he is not even ten years old, when he was young, because of his young spirit, he provoked countless enemies, but he never retreated back into the sect, but relied on his own strength to save the day. Later, he went through all kinds of hardships, ups and downs, and because of this, he can have a prominent position in the rivers and lakes today. As the Asage said, "Heaven will send a great task, and it must first work its mind and bones." I don't dare to say that I will be able to match my brother in the future, but I am willing to follow suit. ”

Li Xuandu didn't know how to refute for a while, and after a long time, he said: "In the rivers and lakes, there are not a few such people, but it is not easy for one out of ten people to survive to the end." ”

Zhou Shuning said with a smile: "If you are afraid to shrink, then what are you going to do in the rivers and lakes? Wouldn't it be better to stay away from the rivers and lakes early, and I will stay away from the turmoil?"

Li Xuandu didn't want to preach too much, so as not to be seen by Zhou Shuning, so he smiled and said: "Okay, good, ambitious, worthy of being a disciple of the Xuannu Sect, Liu admires someone." ”

At this moment, the guy stepped forward and handed over the rain gear he had bought.

Li Xuandu took it casually, and the guy said, "Official, your body is already wet." ”

It turned out that after a fierce fight, Li Xuan did not deliberately use the qi machine to bounce away the falling rain, at this time he was already drenched by the rain, he thought in his heart, anyway, he had been recognized by Zhou Shuning and others as a master, but there was no need to hide it too much, so he silently lucked, only to see that there were wisps of white gas rising on his body, and the wet clothes had been steamed dry by him in the blink of an eye. Then Li Xuandu put on a hat, put on a robe, hung the umbrella on the saddle, and then turned over the horse and walked away.

The four members of the Xuannu Sect looked at Li Xuandu's figure and disappeared into the vast rain curtain, and returned to the inn, but saw that the guests here had gone completely at some point, obviously afraid of the murderous reputation of the Soap Pavilion Sect, for fear of being affected by the pond fish, and they all braved the heavy rain and walked through the back door one by one. All that remains is a lean bamboo pole and dwarf winter melon.

The two Xuannu Sect disciples asked in a chattering voice, "Senior Sister, what is the origin of this person?" "Senior Sister Zhou, can you tell the origin of his exercises?" "I don't think he is a person from Qingluan Weizhong, how can there be a good person in Qingluan Wei?"

The young woman sighed and said: "This person killed the winter melon ghost, and with one enemy, he did not hurt a single bit, and the knife technique used did not show his family several sects at all, and he covered up his own exercises without showing any traces, this is really clever." He said that he was a person from Mr. Qingwei Zongwu, and he didn't necessarily tell the truth. He is reluctant to reveal his origin, he should not be an ally of our Xuannu Sect, and he may not even be a person in the righteous path, could it be a person from the Five Sects of Liaodong? However, such a figure is a friend rather than an enemy, which is really our blessing. ”

Zhou Shuning ignored the conversation between the three of them, and fell into deep thought: "We went to Luzhou this time, and the news has already leaked, could it be that there are spies of people in the evil way in the sect? Yes, the last time the Lady Sect attacked Xuannu Mountain, someone from inside and outside let Shi Wuyue go, and there must be more than one traitor inside." I'm afraid this trip will be difficult. ”
