In the next few days, Li Xuandu followed Mrs. Lu to visit the entire Taiping Mountain, and then returned to the Tianshui Pavilion, and began to refer to the Taiping Sect's part of the "Taiping Qing Ling Sutra", which was compared with the "Xuanwei True Technique" of the Qingping Sect. It's just that the time is too urgent, and Li Xuandu can only be regarded as a preliminary understanding of one or two, far from melting the two into one furnace. If you want to reproduce the "Taiping Qing Lingjing" of Taiping Road back then, it will take a year and a half to say the least.

On the sixth day, there was still a day before the ascension ceremony, Li Xuandu was still indulged in the "Taiping Qing Collar Sutra" and couldn't extricate himself, his ears didn't hear anything outside the window, and he forgot to sleep and eat until Zhang Haishi came to Tianshui Pavilion, and then he came back to his senses.

Tianshui Pavilion is the residence of a Taiping patriarch, divided into two halls, partial hall, study, bedroom, but there is no courtyard, Li Xuandu has been in the study these days, out of the study is the inner hall, he and Zhang Haishi in the inner hall and sat separately, but there is no servant in Tianshui Pavilion, only Li Xuandu is alone, naturally there is no tea to entertain guests.

Fortunately, the two brothers have a deep relationship, and Zhang Haishi doesn't care about these subtleties, and says directly: "Zifu Good Luck Dao, in just half a year, he has changed from an outcast of the Qingwei Sect to the acting sect master of the Taiping Sect, which can be seen in the impermanence of the world." ”

Li Xuandu sighed: "I didn't expect it, but I just took a step at a time." ”

Zhang Haishi said: "Whether a person can succeed or not, the ability is still secondary, many times it is the current situation, but then again, if you don't have the ability, just the situation, then it won't work." ”

Li Xuandu said: "Senior brother, this is the same as not saying it. ”

Zhang Haishi smiled and said, "Speaking of business, before I left from Qizhou, I met Miss Qin and Aunt Li, and I read the letter you asked Miss Qin to bring me." I didn't expect that in addition to serving as the acting sect master of the Taiping Sect, you have done so much planning and layout quietly, which is really amazing, and you can't do it for your brother at your age. From this point of view, it is not a good thing for you to leave the Qingwei Sect,"

Li Xuandu asked, "I wonder if Senior Brother intends to join it?"

Zhang Haishi obviously thought about it for a long time, and did not hesitate, and replied directly: "The general trend of the world, if you join for a long time, you will be divided, and you will be united for a long time." After the world is peaceful, it is inevitable that the Taiping Inn will transform into a sect, whether it is you, Senior Aunt Li, or so, they have all left the Qingwei Sect, but I am still a member of the Qingwei Sect, so it is not easy to leave at will, so I will not participate in the Taiping Inn. ”

Li Xuandu nodded and said, "I think the same way, Senior Brother staying in the Qingwei Sect will help me even more." ”

Speaking of this, he hesitated slightly, and said softly: "Maybe I can help my senior brother sit on the position of the sect master of the Qingwei Sect, and the two of us brothers will join forces to oust Li Yuanying from power." ”

Zhang Haishi was not surprised, but raised his eyebrows slightly: "This language is still early. ”

Li Xuandu said softly: "But if you take precautions, you should have prepared early." ”

Zhang Haishi did not speak, as if acquiescing.

Li Xuandu also did not continue to talk deeply, as Zhang Haishi said, it is too early to say this at this time, the key is to prepare in advance, just wait for the opportunity to come, it will be a matter of course.

Zhang Haishi changed his words: "But that Qingping meeting is a bit interesting, I want to participate in it." ”

Li Xuandu naturally would not refuse, and immediately explained the rules of the Qingping Society, and asked Zhang Haishi to choose a brand name.

After listening to this, Zhang Haishi pondered for a moment and said: "Someone in this dynasty made the first word, and there is a sentence in it, which is called 'How many things in ancient and modern times, pay them all in laughter and talk.'" This sentence is the most popular among me, so I will take the name of this word, and it will be called 'Linjiang Immortal'. ”

Li Xuandu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll inform Yun He when I get back." ”

Then he asked, "What's going on at home lately?"

Zhang Haishi said indifferently: "It's not a big deal, it's just that the old man asked Li Rushi to beat the third lady, after all, he married into our Qingwei Sect, no matter who was in the family before, you have to understand whose family it is now, and score a close relationship inside and out." ”

Li Xuandu nodded, and asked again: "Regarding my appointment as the sect master of the Taiping Sect, what is the old man's attitude?"

Zhang Haishi shook his head and said: "I didn't say anything, although Li Rushi objected, but I can conclude that it was not from the old man's instructions, whether it was open or dark, otherwise with Li Rushi's temper, he would have already pulled the tiger skin as a banner when he was discussing in the Qingling Palace." ”

Zhang Haishi paused slightly, and said slightly off topic: "I never thought that Aunt Li would marry such a man, it's a pity." ”

There are not so strict rules in the rivers and lakes, so that they are not so secretive as to dare not mention the slightest bit for His Holiness, Li Xuandu joked: "I haven't seen Shi Niang, but I have heard of Shi Niang's temperament, gentle and virtuous, everyone is beautiful, I have seen my aunt, and I understand it, although she and Shi Niang are sisters, their temperaments are completely different." With her aunt's temper, Li Rushi can bear it, and if she is an old man or a senior brother, I am afraid that she would have drawn her sword a long time ago. ”

Zhang Haishi thought about it and couldn't help laughing: "That's indeed the case." ”

Li Xuandu said: "The reason why the Qingwei Sect supported me as the acting sect leader of the Taiping Sect this time and was willing to congratulate me was probably not for the sake of my face as an outcast of the Qingwei Sect, but for the face of my senior brother. ”

Zhang Haishi said with a smile: "We two brothers don't talk about two families, you and I are one, the so-called 'Four Gentlemen's Party' back then, you do the face, I do the lining." Although the 'Four Gentlemen's Party' is no longer as strong as it used to be, there are still not a few people in the Qingwei Sect who support us. It is a good thing that you can be the acting sect master of the Taiping Sect as a brother. If you are a brother who one day recaptures the Qingwei Sect, you will sit firmly in the Taiping Sect, and you may not be able to restore the Taiping Dao, and stand together with the Zhengyi and the Quanzhen Dao. ”

Li Xuandu frowned slightly and said: "But I am only the acting sect master of the Taiping Sect, and the faith that should be kept must be kept, and the position of the sect master of the Taiping Sect will be returned to the Taiping Sect sooner or later." ”

Zhang Haishi asked, "Let me ask you, is Zhang Jingxiu the sect master of the Zhengyi Sect?"

Li Xuandu was stunned, and faintly guessed what Zhang Haishi meant.

Zhang Haishi said in a deep voice: "As long as the Taiping Dao is restored, what does it matter if you are the sect master of the Taiping Sect or not? Back then, the Taiping Patriarch was respected as a great sage and good teacher, and the Taoists were all over the eight states, with a vast crowd of 360,000 people. When the Taiping Road was prosperous, it was also the chaos of the world, and it was not uncommon for the death to be pillowed, and the matter of eating the child was not uncommon, so the patriarch put forward the theory of "to the peace", saving the world as the thought, in order to seek peace and harmony in the world. ”

"There is a saying in the "Taiping Qingling Sutra": 'The ancestor of the Tao, the great sage of the Tao, and the co-teacher of Youming. The response changes with the party, and the success is hidden and permanent. There is no place to live, and Chang Yuan is not there. ...... Circulating the six voids, educating the Three Realms, coming out of the world's law, in the world's law, doing nothing and doing nothing, all of them are investigated'. Li Xuandu muttered: "He also said: 'The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious'." ”

Zhang Haishi said: "That's right, the "Dictionary" records: 'There is a positive one, and there is Taiping Road in the east. There is a great heavenly master in Zhengyi, and there is a great sage and good teacher in Taiping Dao. 'If the Taoist system of the Taiping Dao is restored, you come to be this great sage and good teacher, and sit on an equal footing with the Great Heavenly Master, why should you covet the position of a mere suzerain? You can even add your Taiping Inn to the Taiping Dao, so that it can stand on top of the Qingwei Sect and the Taiping Sect and contain each other, so that you, as a great sage and good teacher, can take advantage of the mutual restraint between the three, balance in the middle, and become the de facto master of the three sects. ”

Rao is Li Xuandu, and he was also shocked for a moment.

After a long time, Li Xuandu smiled bitterly and said, "This is the emperor's mental technique." ”

Zhang Haishi said indifferently: "If you want to do something for this world, you have to keep climbing up." The higher the status, the more things can be accomplished. If you become a county magistrate, you can only save people from one county at most; if you become a prefect, you can only save people from one prefecture at most; if you become the governor of a state, you can only save people from one prefecture at most; if you become the chief assistant of the cabinet, you can save people from several prefectures at most. Only when you are the co-master of the world can you save the people of the world. ”

Li Xuandu was shocked. He faintly felt that his senior brother's proposal had exceeded his initial plan, which made him feel a little overwhelmed, and he couldn't help but think of a comment that the master had inadvertently said, the person who was most like him was not Situ Xuance, not Li Xuandu, not Li Yuanying and Li Taiyi, but the second disciple Zhang Haishi.
