The meditation hall is divided into two parts, but compared to the vastness of the front hall, the back hall is much narrower, about the size of a study, which is only one table and four chairs.

Li Xuandu and Qin Su were sitting here, and the reason why Zhang Haishi and Li Rushi couldn't perceive the qi of the two of them was because Li Daoxu used a magical power similar to "painting the ground as a prison", forming a small world of its own, which could not only make people in the hall unable to go out, but also isolate the perception of people outside the hall, which was very mysterious.

However, Li Daoxu did not isolate his voice, so what Zhang Haishi and Li Rushi said, Li Xuandu and Qin Su could hear it clearly.

After Zhang Haishi and Li Rushi left, Li Xuan glanced at Qin Su, who was full of solemnity, and said softly: "Don't worry, my master is the most disciplined in doing things, and this matter will never implicate you, a person from a foreign sect." ”

Qin Su shook his head and said softly, "I'm just worried about your safety. ”

Li Xuandu smiled: "If you are convicted for your words, you will not die." ”

Qin Su was about to speak, Li Daoxu had already entered the inner hall, and the two could only get up from their chairs.

Li Daoxu stretched out his hand and pressed it weakly, and said: "The old man is in the world, and he pays the most attention to the word 'rules', which can also be said to be a 'law', the old man can change the rules, but he can't break the rules. ”

Li Xuandu said softly: "Knowing that it can't be done, the disciple has already expected and realized what the result will be if he does such a thing, but this matter has nothing to do with Miss Qin, and the master should not leave her here." ”

"Of course, this matter has nothing to do with Miss Qin, Miss Qin is a guest I invited, if Miss Qin is detained here, wouldn't it become a Hongmen banquet. Li Daoxu said: "If Miss Qin wants to leave, she can do so at any time, and it just so happens that my Bailonglou ship has been idle for a long time, so let Miss Qin take this boat back to Langya Mansion." ”

Li Daoxu was about to agree, but Qin Su suddenly spoke: "Old Sect Master, I'm not going anywhere, I want to stay with the Purple Mansion." ”

Li Xuandu was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "What are you doing here? This is our private matter of Qingwei Sect, what are you fooling with as an outsider? Go! Hurry up! I don't want you to accompany me." ”

This was the first time Li Xuandu was angry with Qin Su, but Qin Su was not angry at all, just smiled slightly, and then took the initiative to reach out and hold Li Xuandu's hand. In the past, Qin Su wanted to break free from Li Xuandu's hand, but this time it was the other way around, and Li Xuandu wanted to shake off Qin Su's hand that Qin Su took the initiative to reach, but in the past, Qin Su failed to break free of Li Xuandu's hand, and this time Li Xuandu also failed to break free from Qin Su's hand, and the two hands were still held together.

Li Xuandu looked at Li Daoxu and said in a deep voice: "Master, please expel this woman from Penglai Island!"

Li Daoxu said indifferently: "Miss Qin is my guest, since Miss Qin wants to stay, I have no reason to drive away, so let's stay." ”

Li Xuandu was still about to speak, but Li Daoxu had already said: "Miss Qin is my guest, not your guest, and you are not someone from Aunt Qin, so you can't be her master." ”

Li Xuandu could only swallow back the words that had already come to his lips.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qin Su probed his fingers between Li Xuandu's fingers, causing the hands held by the two to become ten fingers interlocked.

Li Xuandu glanced down and didn't say anything more, just let out a long sigh.

Li Daoxu sat alone on a chair, still holding Li Xuandu's booklet in his hand, and asked, "Li Xuandu, if you are asked to be the sect master of the Qingwei Sect, what will you do?"

Li Xuandu replied: "Strike the war and seek peace with the Zhengyi Sect, completely end the '46 Dispute', and then join forces with the 12 Righteous Sects to fight against the 5 Sects in the Northwest, and then purge the imperial court and the back party, and seek peace in the world." ”

Li Daoxu was not surprised by this answer, and asked directly: "But what is the benefit of this move in my Qingwei Sect?"

Li Xuan didn't answer.

Li Daoxu looked at the booklet in his hand: "Why don't you reply?"

Li Xuandu replied: "This move will make my Qingwei Sect be praised by future generations for thousands of years." ”

Li Daoxu laughed and said: "The gentleman's Ze will be beheaded in the fifth generation." No matter how great the feat, it is not enough to be remembered for a thousand years. ”

Li Xuandu thought about it, and had to say: "There is always one hundred years." ”

Li Daoxu said: "The reason why I don't deny you is because this move is indeed beneficial to the Qingwei Sect, in a sense, saving the world and chasing the world are the same thing, but it is another thing to be a monopoly and divide the world." ”

Li Xuandu immediately understood what the master meant, in the final analysis, he still didn't want to join forces with the Zhengyi Sect, even if he saved the world, he must be headed by the Qingwei Sect, not the Zhengyi Sect, and he couldn't even stand side by side with the Zhengyi Sect. However, how could a righteous sect that had been the leader of the righteous path for hundreds of years be subordinate to others? This has become a dead knot, and it is necessary to distinguish the victory or defeat between the two sects, so the "dispute between the four and six sects" is inevitable.

Li Xuandu sighed: "Zhengyi Sect has big roots and deep roots, if you want to completely defeat Zhengyi Sect, it is definitely not an overnight thing, you have to work hard for several years or even more than ten years, but how can the people in the world wait so long?"

Li Daoxu said indifferently: "Zifu, when did you become such a soft-hearted person?"

Li Xuandu said: "Even if you have to defeat the Zhengyi Sect, Master, have you ever thought about it, what is the chance of winning the Qingwei Sect now? What if it is defeated? Not to mention the common people in the world, the foundation of the Qingwei Sect, Master, your life's work, what should you do?"

Li Daoxu's face changed slightly.

Li Xuandu continued: "The disciple's original intention is not to talk to the master about the world, but just to talk about the facts and talk about the shortcomings of my Qingwei Sect. It was only later that the disciple thought about it, and those who do not seek the world are not enough to seek a time, and those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain. If you want to point out the big drawbacks of the Qingwei Sect, you have to focus on the big picture. ”

"If it weren't for the disciples' morale to destroy their own prestige, in all fairness, the fact that the Zhengyi Sect has been able to sit firmly in the position of the leader of the Righteous Path Alliance for nearly a thousand years has its own merits. On the other hand, my Qingwei Sect has only been in existence for a few decades, and now the sect is full of intrigue and power and profit. Of the thirty-six hall masters and the seventy-two island masters, which one is not above the top? Which one is not flying and impetuous? How many of them are sincerely thinking about the future of the Qingwei Sect? How many of them regard themselves as one with the Qingwei Sect? Such a Qingwei Sect has not yet been exalted in the rivers and lakes, and is already indulging in pleasures, can it really be better than the Zhengyi Sect? If the Qingwei Sect is defeated, has the master ever thought about the consequences? Will he be divided and dismembered by the various sects of the Righteous Path, and will he be removed from the rivers and lakes from now on? Or will he become a vassal servant of the Zhengyi Sect and rely on others for everything?

Li Daoxu took his eyes off the booklet in his hand, looked at Li Xuandu, and said faintly: "According to what you said, my Qingwei Sect has no chance of winning?

Li Xuandu said: "I didn't say that. ”

Li Daoxu raised his voice: "Then what do you say?"

Li Xuandu saw the awe-inspiring murderous intent in his master's eyes, but he was still calm and composed, and said in a deep voice: "My parents died when I was a child, and I was homeless, but it was the master who adopted me and taught me skills. Although I have no father, my master is my father, and this Qingwei Sect is my home. I don't want the Qingwei Sect to be exclusive to the rivers and lakes and dominate the world. But the fact is that today's Qingwei Sect only looks like a blooming flower on the surface, but it will decline if it is prosperous, and it will be reversed. At present, the wind of extravagance and corruption is becoming more and more prevalent, prosperous and arrogant, rich and luxurious, arrogant and lazy, extravagant and greedy, greedy and corrupt. The decline is beginning to take shape. Although Master can know all the things that his disciples don't know, all the things that Master knows are things that float in the sky, and those things that are seen on the earth, does Master know? ”

Li Daoxu looked at Li Xuandu deeply, in this sword fight between master and apprentice, instead of gaining the upper hand, he gradually fell into the downwind.

Li Xuandu said angrily: "Master knows how the Zhengyi Sect and the Maiden Sect are, how the Yin Yang Sect and the Soap Pavilion Sect are, and how the temple is above, the master has set countless rules and regulations for the Qingwei Sect, and he is confident that it can be passed on to the eternal generations, but does the master know what the hearts of the people below are? Dapeng flapped its wings for 90,000 miles, and it was impossible to see the ants on the ground, but this world, in the final analysis, is still composed of thousands of ants on the ground, and Dapeng will eventually land. ”

Li Daoxu's hand holding the booklet froze, and there was no murderous intent in his eyes, but there was a slight dazed flash, and he said: "There is a huge Qingwei Sect, you are the only one who can see through it, and no one else can see through it?"

Li Xuandu said: "Whether others see through it or not, I can't assert it." But no matter whether they see through it or not, no one in the Manchu Sect dares to say anything to the master, but I am the only one who says it, does the master still suspect that I am inviting a direct name? There must be someone to do things, and if they don't do it, I will do it, but they still suspect my intentions?"

Li Daoxu was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "You and I are all about the master and apprentice, and there is nothing to say as a teacher." There are other things to do as a teacher, you will leave Penglai Island for a while, you also had a place to live in this eight-view villa back then, you go there and wait, someone will come to see you tomorrow. ”

With that, Li Daoxu turned around and left, stepping into the vast rain curtain.
