Chapter 147: Don't dare to be the first in the world

Zhang Jingshen stretched out his hand and pressed his heart, was silent for a moment, and asked, "What kind of exercise is this? Is this also the mastery of the Taiping Dao?"

Li Xuandu said: "This is my 'Taiping Qing Lingjing' as the foundation, drawing on the 'Beidou Thirty-six Sword Techniques' and 'Nandou Twenty-eight Star Array', integrating what I have learned, and creating a set of sword techniques, called 'Nandou Twenty-eight Sword Techniques', as a disciple of Taiping Dao, I am naturally considered to be a Taiping Dao master." ”

Zhang Jingshen raised his eyebrows, "What Sect Master Li means is that this set of sword techniques will be passed on to the disciples, and it will not be cherished by the broom. ”

Zhang Jingshen's words are heart-wrenching, because Li Xuandu is only the acting sect leader of the Taiping Sect, and there are still people in the sect who secretly oppose it, in other words, the Taiping Sect does not regard Li Xuandu as its own person, and Li Xuandu will not have too deep feelings for the Taiping Sect, there is a gap between the two, and the "Nandou Twenty-Eight Sword Tricks" is Li Xuandu's own unique learning. Let's talk about the heart, if Mr. Shen Da returns to the Taiping Sect one day, will Li Xuandu's position as the acting sect master be won't be granted?

With his own life, Zhang Jingshen didn't think that Li Xuan would agree, if Li Xuan didn't pass it on to his disciples, then Zhang Jingshen also had reason to deny that this was not a peerless study of Taiping Dao.

However, to Zhang Jingshen's surprise, Li Xuan did not hesitate at all, and said directly: "I am the sect master of the Taiping Sect, and part of my 'Taiping Qing Collar Sutra' was learned from the Taiping Sect. ”

As soon as this remark came out, not only Zhang Jingshen, but even the seven elders of the Taiping Sect who were watching the battle were also shocked, they also didn't expect Li Xuan to agree so happily, you must know that this is not a private joke, in front of so many people, it is a sincere promise.

The higher the status of the person, the heavier the weight of the promise, the more it cannot be violated, otherwise there will be no joke, because the credibility and reputation of the big man can be transformed into real power. Corrupt their own reputation, there is no such thing as ascending a call and a hundred responses, it is even more difficult to join forces with others, and it is also difficult to ask for people to trust people, which is in response to that sentence, the rivers and lakes are not only fighting and killing, but also the sophistication of people, so in the rivers and lakes, the lone traveler can not care about the reputation, but the big man with a net worth is not. Although Li Xuandu is young, he is no longer a hairy boy in the rivers and lakes, especially at this time, almost all the people in the rivers and lakes are praising his outstanding achievements, respectfully calling him 'Mr. Qingping', if he breaks his word and gets fat, the price is too great.

Only Qin Su was not surprised, because she knew Li Xuandu. Li Xuan is a person with great ambitions, what he cares about has never been a Jianghu, and he is not a martial idiot. What Li Xuandu seeks is not to be invincible in the world, nor is it to ascend to the Tao, so for Li Xuandu, the exercises and cultivation are just a tool, but not the fundamental thing of life, if he can help Li Xuandu achieve the goal he wants, then there is nothing to hide. It's just that people in the world always live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and what they can't do it, they also feel that others can't do it.

Zhang Jingshen put down the palm that was holding his chest and looked at Li Xuan deeply

All glanced at it and said coldly: "Sect Master Li's stunt, Zhang admires." Since the skills are not as good as people, then Zhang has nothing to say, from now on, our well water will not violate the river water. ”

Li Xuandu smiled lightly: "I hope so." ”

Zhang Jing snorted heavily, turned around and left. He is not a person who does not know how to advance and retreat, the two are not fighting to the death, Li Xuan has injured him, no matter whether the injury is serious or light, he will always lose. Even if he sacrificed his face and continued to fight, he was not sure of victory. If the two sides completely tear their faces, let's not talk about the result, there is a great heavenly master Zhang Jingxiu above him, although Zhang Jingxiu is no longer the sect master of the Zhengyi Sect, but he is still the patriarch of the Zhang clan, and he is the master of the Zhengyi, Li Xuan is supported by Zhang Jingxiu, and he is openly hostile to Li Xuan, which is to slap Zhang Jingxiu's face, if Zhang Jingshen doesn't want to go back to the demon suppression platform to think about it, he has to have some concerns.

After Zhang Jingshen left, the smile on Li Xuandu's face gradually faded, and he turned to look at the Taiping Seven Elders.

Maybe it was because Li Xuandu had just outgrown Zhang Jingshen's momentum, but no one dared to look at Li Xuandu, and they all avoided looking away.

Li Xuandu was not angry, his face was calm, and his tone was neither happy nor sad, "It seems that during my absence, a lot of things have really happened in the sect. ”

Mrs. Lu reacted that she was from Li Xuandu's side, so she stood up straight and glanced coldly at Yu Xian not far away.

Yu Xian hated a lot in his heart, and said that women should be embarrassed by women, two of the seven elders of Taiping have always been at odds, seriously, Yu Xian is a generation older than Mrs. Lu, when Mr. Shen Da lost his mother when he was young, Mr. Shen was busy with the affairs of the sect, that is, Yu Xian single-handedly brought up Mr. Shen Da, a bit similar to the relationship between Li Xuandu and Li Feiyan, Yu Xian never married, and naturally did not have children, so he regarded Mr. Shen Da as a parent, but the son was too old to be a child, and later Mr. Shen Da married a wife and started a family, Mrs. Lu entered the door, and became the justifiable Shen family daughter-in-law, and many of the affairs handled by Yu Xian were originally transferred to Mrs. Lu's hands, including Taiping Qianzhuang。 In the process of this handover, the two had to have a quarrel, and even all kinds of open and secret fights, which was the first reason for the discord between the two, the struggle for power. The second reason is Mr. Shen Da, in short, the dispute between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Anyway, Mr. Shen Da was brought up by Yu Xian, and emotionally like a mother and son, Yu Xian will inevitably give birth to the feeling that the son he raised was snatched away, so he has to say a few more words. In Mrs. Lu's opinion, even if it is the biological mother, the matter between husband and wife should not be asked too much, not to mention that Yu Xian's name is not right, so she naturally refuses to show weakness. Mr. Shen Da is sandwiched between two women, it is difficult for the Qing official to decide the family affairs, no matter how high he is, there is no good way, so he can only mediate from it, so the two of them changed from open dispute to secret fighting, when Mr. Shen Da was there, the two could still maintain harmony on the face, and after Mr. Shen Da had an accident, the two were too lazy to maintain harmony on the face.

Since Li Xuandu is the master of the Taiping Sect, he still has an understanding of the various relationships within the sect, at least he knows it in his heart, the matter between Mrs. Lu and Yu Xian is not a secret thing in the Taiping Sect, and it can even be said that everyone knows it, so Li Xuandu has also heard of it, he has never seen his mother-in-law, but there will be an additional mother-in-law soon, he is not worried about himself, he is just for himself

His old Taishan was worried, and hoped that his old man would not be caught between his wife and daughter.

These distracting thoughts flashed in his mind, Li Xuandu's face was half invisible, he was more majestic, and said to the Taiping Seven Elders: "It just so happens that everyone has arrived, let's go to the Taiping Palace to talk." ”

After that, Li Xuandu walked into the main hall of the Taiping Palace first, and then the Taiping Seven Elders, Qin Su, Chu Yunshen, and Shen Wuxing, a total of ten people, divided into two columns, followed behind Li Xuandu, and entered the hall in turn.

According to the rules, Qin Su is an outsider and should not have participated in the affairs of the Taiping Sect, but she and Li Xuan have already decided to marry and announced to the world, so Qin Su is not an outsider and is qualified to attend.

The Jianghu sect is not like the imperial court, the elders all have seats, Li Xuandu deservedly sat in the position of the sect master in the middle, and the remaining ten people humbled each other After turning each other, Qin Su is the head of a sect and a guest, sitting on the east side of Li Xuandu's head, Shen Yuanzhong is the great elder second only to the sect master, sitting on the west side of Li Xuandu's head, and the rest of the people sit according to their age and age. The last one to sit in the east was Chu Yunshen, and the last one to sit in the west was Shen Wuxing. Because the two of them have no real positions in the sect, they have to admire the last seat.

Li Xuandu looked around and said slowly: "The Taiping Sect originated from the Taiping Dao, whether it is Zhengyi, Taiping Dao, or Quanzhen Dao, or Pavilion Soap Dao, they are all branches of the Daomen, and they all believe in the ancestors of the Taishang Dao. Taishang Taoist Ancestor said: 'I have three virtues, hold on and protect them, one is compassion, the second is thrifty, and the third is not daring to be the first in the world. Don't dare to be the first in the world, so you can become a long. "You are all people of the way, dare to ask what is the meaning of the sentence 'dare not be the first in the world' in this sentence?"

Everyone looked at each other, not understanding why Li Xuandu had such a question, and no one answered for a while.

Li Xuandu saw that no one answered, and said, "Great Elder, you are very knowledgeable, so please explain, how about it?"

Shen Yuanzhong got up slowly, and after carefully considering his words, he said carefully: "There is a saying in the chapter of "Xie Lao": If you discuss it in the court and then say it, the person who makes the right to discuss it will know it. Therefore, if you want to be square and follow its rules, everything will be done. And there are rules for everything, and there are rules for those who speak. The saint follows the rules of all things, so he says, 'Don't dare to be the first in the world'. ”

Li Xuandu said with a smile: "A good one follows the rules, "Solving the Old" is a work of Legalism, I once read it, Legalism pays attention to a rule. There is a saying: 'If you are not the first in the world, you can succeed in the world.' As the saying goes, only the outer body is the return of the thing, and then it can stand, and the instrument is for the benefit of the world and the length of the thing. What does the Great Elder think?"

Shen Yuan said in a deep voice: "The sect master is well-read and knowledgeable, and what he said is extremely true. ”

"The Great Elder has an overreputation. Li Xuandu laughed, "I have only been the sect master for a short time, and I don't know much about many situations in the sect, so I still have to ask the Great Elder and everyone here, I don't know what the rules of my Taiping Sect are?"

Shen Yuanzhong's face changed, and his breathing stagnated a little.

The others also held their breath, and the entire hall was surprisingly silent, and the pins could be heard.

Li Xuandu waited for a moment before continuing: "The Great Elder doesn't reply, the others don't reply, and no one answers. If there really are no rules, then I will set up a rule for the Taiping Sect today. ”
