The old sect master's exit is a big deal in the Qingwei Sect. Although the old sect master has completely delegated power in name, according to the 38 rules of the sect that the old sect master made before he abdicated the position of the sect master, there are still many important matters within the sect that require the old sect master to make his own decisions.

Therefore, after the old sect master left the customs, several core figures in the sect would go to the Eight Scenery Courtyard to meet the old sect master, report the affairs of the sect, and ask the old sect master to decide. For more than ten years, there are probably more than ten people who can have this honor, and there are changes every year, some go to the imperial capital, and they are not in the sect, some are sent to work abroad, and some are excluded from the core because of the loss of power. There are always new people replacing old people, and you sing and I will appear. If this eight-view villa is regarded as a drama garden, then Li Xuandu was popular with half the sky back then, but unfortunately now he is frustrated and has been replaced by others.

The people who went to the Eight Scenery Courtyard today include the second gentleman Zhang Haishi, who is also the deputy sect master, the third lady Gu Yusheng, who is the acting sect master, the fifth gentleman Lu Yanbing, who is also the hall master of Tianxian Hall, the sixth gentleman Li Taiyi, who is also the hall master of Tiandark Hall, Li Rushi, the hall master of Tiankui Hall, and Situ Xuanluo, the hall master of Tianji Hall.

Long before the old sect master Li Daoxu retreated from the position of the sect master, Zhang Haishi hung the position of deputy sect master, and the position of deputy sect master is only a temporary additional position, set up when necessary, and vacant when there is no need, in addition to the noble status, if the sect master encounters an accident and fails to designate the next sect master candidate, and at the same time it is too late to hold a sect meeting to elect the sect master, the deputy sect master can completely act on behalf of the sect master, it is complete, not Gu Yusheng can only handle daily affairs on behalf of him, a bit similar to the meaning of "regent".

After all, Zhang Haishi is the oldest and has a very high prestige, Li Daoxu didn't want him to become the next sect master, but he wanted to give him appropriate appeasement, so he added the position of deputy sect master, so he could be regarded as having an explanation.

At this time, everyone gathered in the main hall of the Eight Scenic Courtyards, and there was no table at the top, only a simple rosewood chair with armrests. Behind the seat was a huge eight-leaf screen, with the three thousand words of the Taishang Dao Ancestor written on it.

On the left and right sides of the seats, there are two rows of seats without armrests. Five on the left and right, plus the top one, there are a total of eleven positions, and these eleven positions are the core of the Qingwei Sect.

At this time, Zhang Haishi, Lu Yanbing, and Li Taiyi were all sitting on the right, and Zhang Haishi was the first. And Gu Yusheng, Li Rushi, and Situ Xuanluo are sitting on the left, but there is no one sitting in the first position on the left, which is Li Yuanying's position, and now Li Yuanying is not in the sect, so this position is vacant, so that there are fewer people corresponding to Zhang Haishi on the left, and Zhang Haishi's status is more and more respectful.

In the main hall here, the specifications are almost the main hall, in addition to the main entrance, there is also a side door, Zhang Haishi and others enter from the main entrance, and the old sect master Li Daoxu will enter from the side door close to the True Realm Essence House.

A moment later, Li Daoxu walked into the hall through the side door, still dressed in a white crane, with cloud shoes, white hair, and fluttering sleeves.

Everyone got up from their seats and stood with their hands tied.

Li Daoxu walked to the red sandalwood chair at the top, and said in his mouth: "The Taoist priest of Lianfeng is tall and clean, and he will not go down to the Lotus Palace for years." The night of the stars is cold, and the dragon and tiger are hot. The east side of Dongshan suddenly met, shaking hands and Ding Ning's words were like a bell. The swordsmanship has been taken away, and there is a dragon to kill the dragon. The morning is full of twilight, but it is still there, and the sun and moon in the cave are the sky. ”

One word at a time, seven crosses are seventy steps, when the recitation, Li Daoxu just came to the side of the rosewood chair, one step is not more, one step is not less, he did not rush to sit down, but held the armrest of the seat with his hand, looked at the people in the hall, and asked, "Are all the people here?"

Zhang Haishi replied: "Mr. Li Xuan has not arrived. ”

Li Daoxu nodded and said, "I already know about this matter, and this is what I want to discuss today." ”

Without waiting for everyone to answer, Li Daoxu had already sat down, and then pressed his hand and said, "Sit down." ”

"Old Sect Master Xie. Everyone answered in unison, and then sat down one after another.

"Let's get started. Li Daoxu's eyes looked at Li Taiyi and asked directly: "Sixth, who taught you the 'Taiyin Thirteen Swords'?"

At this time, Li Taiyi was a little sluggish, his face was pale, but he still got up and replied: "Hui Shizun, it is Wei Zhen, the official of the Yin and Yang Sect." ”

Li Daoxu asked again: "Why did Wei Zhen teach you the 'Taiyin Thirteen Swords'?"

Li Taiyi replied: "The 'Taiyin Thirteen Swords' has the subtlety of countering the sword master, and he granted this method to the apprentice, because he was uneasy and kind, and wanted the apprentice to indulge in it, and finally became the sword slave of the Yin Yang Sect. ”

Li Daoxu raised his questioning voice slightly: "You know this, why do you still want to learn?"

Li Taiyi still said in a calm tone, "Because the disciple is confident that he can defeat the 'Taiyin Thirteen Swords', it is better to praise it from the sky, than to use it in the sky." ”

Everyone didn't expect Li Taiyi to deal with it so decently, especially the last sentence "Praise it from the sky, it is better to use it than to control the sky." It is a sentence that Li Daoxu admired in his early years, and it is very appropriate to use it at this time.

At this moment, Zhang Haishi said softly: "The morning is still in the twilight, and I am the sun and moon in the cave." I don't know which 'heaven' the sixth junior brother wants to control?"

This is the last sentence of the quatrain recited by Li Daoxu, especially the sentence "I am the sky for the sun and moon in the cave", which is the finishing touch, but it is somewhat contrary to "using it to control the sky".

Li Taiyi looked at Zhang Haishi, and could not hide the anger in his eyes.

Zhang Haishi leaned back in his chair, unmoved, and was the most relaxed person except Li Daoxu.

Li Daoxu said slowly: "Don't look at your senior brother like this. ”

"Yes. Mrs. Li was stunned and hurriedly lowered her eyes.

Li Daoxu said: "The poem that Mr. Er talked about just now is a quatrain of the Pure Yang Patriarch, talking about how to practice Taoism and cultivate the mysteries, the so-called 'I am the sun and moon in the cave', not that I am the sky, you don't have to be afraid." ”

Zhang Haishi said lightly and seriously: "The older I get, the more I fear the destiny of heaven, and I don't dare to go beyond the thunder pool by half a step." Therefore, I don't dare to say anything nonsense, 'my life is up to me, not heaven', and I am inevitably sensitive to this kind of words with the word 'heaven'. ”

Li Taiyi: "My generation of Qi cultivation and immortality is going against the sky, if you don't even dare to say it, how can you do it?"

Zhang Haishi smiled indifferently again and did not refute.

Because not long ago, when he met with the old sect master and talked about Li Xuandu's appointment as the hall master of Tianwei Hall, the words of reverence for the mandate of heaven were said by the old sect master himself, not from Zhang Haishi's mouth.

Sure enough, I heard Li Daoxu say: "There is nothing wrong with revering the destiny of heaven. ”

This sentence made Li Taiyi only close his mouth, and even held his breath.

Li Daoxu sighed lightly: "A generation has a generation's concept, the old people will inevitably have a twilight spirit, and the young people will have a lot of sharpness, there is nothing wrong with it, each has its own reason, and there is nothing wrong." ”

Li Taiyi breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and when he peeked into Zhang Haishi's gaze again, he was already full of fear.

Ginger is old and spicy.

Gu Yusheng lowered her eyebrows, she now somewhat understood why Li Yuanying was so jealous of this second senior brother as the sect master, this second uncle could not only kill people with a three-foot sword in his hand, but his ability to verbally punish his heart was not necessarily worse than his sword dao.

Li Daoxu continued: "But disrespecting the mandate of heaven doesn't mean that you have to go down the devil's path...... Li Taiyi. ”

Li Taiyi hurriedly replied, "The disciple is here." ”

Li Daoxu's tone turned cold: "I heard that you got a 'magic sword'?"

Li Taiyi immediately took out the "Heavenly Demon Slashing Immortal Sword" from his Sumeru treasure and offered it with both hands.

Seeing Li Daoxu make any movement, the black sword flew up on its own and hovered in front of him.

Li Daoxu stretched out his hand to hold the "Heavenly Demon Slashing Immortal Sword", wiped it on the sword with two fingers, and set up a ban on it with his great supernatural powers, erasing the hidden dangers, and also cutting off half of the power, and then threw the sword back to Li Taiyi, and his voice turned soft: "I have never objected to you reading all the families, but everything must have a degree, what can be learned, what can not be learned, you must have a rod and scale in your own hearts." ”

After Li Taiyi caught the "Heavenly Demon Slashing Immortal Sword", he said respectfully: "Disciple follow the teachings. ”

Li Daoxu said again: "Old five." ”

Lu Yanbing, who had been watching his nose and nose, got up and said, "The disciple is here." ”

Li Daoxu asked, "You have the best relationship with your fourth senior brother, what do you think is the difference between your fourth senior brother's coming back this time and the past?"

Zhang Haishi was just about to speak, but Li Daoxu suddenly increased his tone: "I don't want to listen to you, I want to listen to the fifth child himself." ”

In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on Lu Yanbing.

Lu Yanbing had no choice but to lower his eyebrows and said, "Yes." ”
