Chapter Eighty-Six: Escort
After a moment of stalemate, the two dissipated together, no matter what, Li Xuan finally blocked the fourth move, but half of his qi was also consumed. There are still three moves left, but these three moves correspond to the three highest realm Heavenly and Human Realm Great Masters, which is really not optimistic.
If defeated, although Li Xuandu has no worries about his life, and even with the full support of the Great Heavenly Master, he can still sit on the throne of the suzerain of the Taiping Sect, but he will not be able to grasp the power of the Taiping Sect. The suzerain and power are not closely linked, just like Yan Feiqing and Li Yuanying, although they are the masters of a sect, they have never held the supreme power of the sect, and their identities are more similar to "princes". Even if there is no Supreme Sect Master, he may not be in power. Throughout the ages, there have been many puppet emperors who have been elevated, if it weren't for the smooth promotion of Taiyun to the Immortal Realm, and the means of dormant management and cooperation for many years, his identity in the five sects in the northwest would be just an empty shelf.
Li Xuan didn't have so much time to lie dormant and wait, so his goal from the beginning was to grasp the real power of the Taiping Sect, give up part of the suzerain's authority, and co-rule with the elders of the sect, but he couldn't be a puppet.
Realm cultivation is the foundation of settling down on the rivers and lakes, but if you want to achieve a career in the rivers and lakes, whether it is chivalrous or righteous, it is powerful and blessed, only one person cannot succeed. No matter how high this person's realm is, as high as the sky, and he becomes an immortal, he will not be able to affect the entire world. Because a person's control ability and scope of control are limited, at most he can be a world-famous saint or demon, but he can't be an "emperor".
Take the earth master as an example, if he doesn't control the five sects in the northwest, even if he is invincible in the world, it is useless, today the Zhengyi Sect of Wuzhou is opposed, and he flew to Wuzhou to crusade against the Zhengyi Sect, and tomorrow the Replenishing Heaven Sect in Liaodong rebelled again, and then flew to Liaodong to suppress the Replenishing Heaven Sect, and he lacked skills. If there is no power, there is no power, if there is no power, there is no profit, there is no profit, there is no gathering of people, there is no rice in hand, and even chickens can't be coaxed. By force alone, you can scare others for a while, but you can't scare a lifetime, the more ruthless the suppression, the stronger the rebound, only interests can firmly control people in their own hands, and they are also willing, happy in it, so as to set up a reward and punishment system, more able to make them desperately take the initiative to serve, compared to the kind of unwillingness and hidden resistance to deter by force, I don't know how much stronger.
If you really want to do things, you must be organized, have subordinate disciples, establish a hall, and at the same time decentralize power, you will also assign tasks, who is responsible for money, who is responsible for spying on news, who is in charge of interpersonal exchanges, who is responsible for killing and guarding, who is in charge of personnel, and who is responsible for passing on gong, so that the sect master can not do everything himself, but only deal with individual key affairs, and it seems to be light-hearted, so it is the "grandmaster style".
Li Xuandu is well aware of the truth, so he also understands that the truth in the sage's book is indeed very reasonable, but it is only used to demand himself, and he can't use these truths to demand others, and it is useless to use them to do things. No matter how bright the desired result and original intention are, the process in between is bound to be mixed with darkness and blood.
Therefore, Li Xuandu said that he was not innocent, let alone upright, and even suspected of being unscrupulous.
At this moment, the formation changed again, the bucket handle retreated, the bucket kui moved forward, and Sikong Zao, who was in the pivotal position of the sky, appeared in front of Li Xuandu, if you know the Taiping Sect, you will know that this old man, like Shen Yuanzhou, who likes to hide in the market to tell people's fortunes, has an easy-going temperament, and is a very interesting wonderful person. Among the Taiping Seven Elders, he neither belonged to Shen Yuanzhong's faction nor Mrs. Lu's faction, he was a neutral person, and he only spoke from the position of the Taiping Sect.
After seeing Li Xuandu at this time, the old man smiled: "Mr. Li has such a realm of cultivation at a young age, which really makes us old guys who have lived in vain for many years ashamed, please ask Mr. Li to take the fifth move." ”
As soon as the words fell, he stretched out his right hand, and made two fingers of the sword, and a little light suddenly lit up on his fingertips, and with the appearance of this bright light, all the light around him was pulled by it. Immediately afterward, countless dazzling rays of light visible to the naked eye were pulled out from the seven pillars of golden light that fell from the gaps in the clouds, wisps and entanglements, all converging to his fingertips, making his fingertips shine brightly, dazzling like a miniature sun, difficult to look at directly.
There is no need for Sikong Zao to speak, Li Xuandu also knows that this corresponds to the yang in the five elements of yin and yang.
Sikong Zao flicked his fingers, only to see countless Dao Haoguang shooting from his fingertips towards the Nine Heavens, like light and gas, forming a big net of heaven and earth, and then falling towards Li Xuandu's head.
This move is to integrate the "Wanhua Finger Winding Sword" and the "Tianluo" in the "Eight Divine Powers", the yang is the hexagram, and the dry is the sky, which is very compatible. From this point of view, after arriving at the Heaven and Man Realm, there is no need to stick to the form of a sword, it can be easily obtained, and it is more difficult to break, if the Taiping Sect can make up seven Heaven and Man Realm Great Masters to set up a formation, even if Li Xuandu is already in the Heaven and Man Infinite Realm, it will be difficult to take the seven moves.
Li Xuandu looked up, and the falling speed of this Tianluo net intertwined with phosgene was not fast, but it covered an extremely wide area, almost enveloping the entire Taiping Palace.
Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky.
If it is a battle of life and death, Li Xuandu can naturally dodge, but since it is a victory or defeat, then he cannot leave the scope of the Taiping Palace, this is a rule that both sides do not say but know well, if Li Xuandu blindly swims without fighting, even if he wins in the end, it will be difficult to convince the public.
The reason why Li Xuandu wanted to win was to use the power of the great victory to suppress the opposition in the Taiping Sect, and he couldn't give up his roots, which was also the reason why Bai Xiushang would not help.
Bai Xiushang was also looking up at this big net, subconsciously thinking about how to crack it if he was on top. In fact, for her, the best way is to break the trick with force, after all, the Heavenly Artificial Transformation Realm is two realms higher than the Heavenly and Human Freedom Realm, plus this "Seven Yao Star Luo Array" is not complete, there are more flaws, and it can be broken by force. But what if it is a complete "Seven Yao Star Luo Array"? Bai Xiushang thought about it, but he did not have a completely sure countermeasure, so he could only try to crack it, and as for whether it could succeed, it was about five or five.
At this moment, a gentle voice suddenly came from behind Bai Xiusheng: "Sect Master Bai." ”
Bai Xiushang came back to her senses, turned her head to look at the visitor, and said, "I didn't expect it to be Mr. Haishi in person." ”
The visitor replied with a smile: "After all, Qizhou and Luzhou are adjacent to each other, and the road is not far. ”
She stared at Zhang Haishi for a moment, with a slightly surprised look on her face: "Congratulations to Mr. Haishi on going to the next level, longevity is just around the corner." ”
An old man dressed in black walked slowly to Bai Xiusheng's side with a bamboo cane, it was Zhang Haishi.
Speaking of Zhang Haishi, I have to mention Wu Zhen who is about to rush to Tianping Mountain, although Wu Zhen is not ranked high on the Taixuan list, but he has excellent virtue and an excellent reputation in the rivers and lakes, plus he is old and has a high seniority, so no matter how high or low the people in the rivers and lakes are, they must be honored as "Master Wuzhen". And Zhang Haishi is a counterexample of Wuzhen, the realm cultivation is extremely high, but he has a bad temper, a withdrawn temperament, and there are seven points of evil in the middle, and three points of good in the evil, which is really not easy to get along with, so his reputation in the rivers and lakes is also mixed. Many people call "Mr. Haishi" on the surface, and call "East China Sea Stranger" behind their backs, and the name of "East China Sea Stranger" originally belonged to Qingwei Sect, but now it has almost become Zhang Haishi's exclusive one. From this point of view, Li Xuandu and Li Daoxu do not conform to the traditional temperament of the Qingwei Sect, and Zhang Haishi is really the disciple of the Qingwei Sect who is most like the ancestors of the Qingwei Sect in the past dynasties.
If Qingweizong wants to enter the world and compete with Zhengyi Sect and Wudao Sect, then Zhang Haishi is not a suitable choice for the sect master, but if Qingweizong just wants to be in a corner and keep his ancestral foundation, Zhang Haishi is very suitable.
Zhang Haishi glanced at the scene above his head, retracted his gaze, and said with emotion: "It is said that people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, and it is also said that Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind." Now that I think about it, I was extremely lucky. Master is too prestigious, so those of us who are disciples will not be too eye-catching. Before me, there was a senior brother, and after me, there was a fourth junior brother, both of whom were outstanding in the world. Let me in the middle become more and more inconspicuous, so that I can stumble and stumble over the years, and now I am secretly stepping into the creation realm. ”
Bai Xiushang said with a smile: "Mr. Haishi is too modest. ”
Zhang Haishi continued: "In terms of qualifications, I can't compare to Sect Master Bai and Sect Master Qin, and I am much worse than my senior brother and junior brother. ”
Bai Xiushang is such a thoughtful person, he immediately heard Zhang Haishi's words, the reason why he came in person was to escort Li Xuandu, and also said: "In this way, Mr. Haishi and I are in the same way." ”
Zhang Haishi smiled: "What Sect Master Bai said is true. This time the matter of the Taiping Sect, there is Sect Master Lao Bai to worry about, this time I will not thank Sect Master Bai, after all, sooner or later they are all a family, do not say the words of the two families. ”
Bai Xiushang is not a little girl like Qin Su, she has experienced many winds and waves, and she has already stopped her heart, and said with a light smile: "Mr. Haishi's words are too early. However, the marriage of Zifu and Su Su should have been prepared for a rainy day. ”
Zhang Haishi nodded and said, "What Sect Master Bai said is extremely true, the two of them are not young, and they should get married early. A few years ago, I was worried that Zifu was trapped in the cage in my heart, I couldn't see through this matter, I refused to marry a wife, and I was busy helping him recover the realm, so I ran around, and I didn't have my hands free, and when this happened, I began to prepare for this matter. ”
Bai Xiushang sighed softly: "There are new people in the rivers and lakes from generation to generation, and new people from generation to generation replace old people. In the blink of an eye, the hairy boy has become the head of a sect and the head of a family, and the little girls have also married and are called 'Mrs.'. We, the old people, it's time to think about what happens after the death. ”
Zhang Haishi looked at the sky in the distance: "Who said it wasn't." ”
