At this moment, the palace official spoke: "If you don't let the extremely noble little Heavenly Master do it, but come to do these dirty work, you may not be able to get a good reputation, it's not a fool." ”

Zhang Luanshan smiled, picked up the wine jug and poured two glasses of wine, and then pushed a glass in front of Li Xuandu: "When you go out, you won't persuade the three girls to drink, just invite Zifu to have a drink." ”

Li Xuandu picked up his wine glass: "Then a toast to the fool." ”

The two of them drank the wine from their glasses, and then turned their glasses downwards to show that they had not cheated.

Li Xuandu put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at the shopkeeper standing behind the counter: "Shopkeeper, how is the business lately?"

The shopkeeper's eyes were fixed on the account book, and he still cherished the words like gold and said: "Acceptable." ”

Li Xuandu smiled helplessly: "Mr. Shen, now, do you still want to pretend to be a master in the world?"

The shopkeeper finally took his eyes off the account books: "I have never said that I am a master of the world, who stipulated that the sect master of the Taiping Sect cannot open an inn?"

This statement is undoubtedly a tacit acquiescence to his identity, it is the sect master of the Taiping Sect, Shen Wuwu, who is known as "Mr. Shen Da" in the rivers and lakes.

In the rivers and lakes, it is not bad to be called "sir" by others, just like calling a married woman "Mrs.", and it is also named by her own surname instead of her husband's surname. Take Su Yuncheng as an example, when she marries Yan Feiqing and is older, she will change from "Fairy Su" to "Mrs. Su". The knowledge in the rivers and lakes is reflected in such subtleties, taking Qin Su as an example, if she is married to Li Xuandu and is called "Mrs. Qin", it means that her status in the rivers and lakes is respected, even if she does not rely on her husband, she can stand, and anyone must take a look at it. But if she is called "Mrs. Li", it means that her status in the rivers and lakes comes from her husband, and she does not have much brilliance, so she will inevitably be looked down upon by others in her heart. However, in terms of Qin Su's realm cultivation and background, no matter who he marries, he will inevitably have the title of "Mrs. Qin".

Going back to Mr., the so-called "sir" is called Mr. by the living, the elderly, and the outstanding. Looking at many gentlemen on the rivers and lakes, such as "Mr. I don't know" Chu Yunshen, or Mr. Li Xuandu, Mr. Li, Zhang Haishi, Mr. Zhang, all have outstanding features, Shen Wuwu is called Mr. Shen Da, and the word "big" is added in front of the word "Mr.", which is obviously a step higher among many gentlemen, and it is also different from the old sect master of the Taiping Sect "Mr. Shen", which shows its status in the rivers and lakes.

If we regard the ten years as a generation, then the old Tibetan people and Wanshou Zhenren are a generation, the year of the cane dynasty; Li Daoxu and Zhang Jingxiu are a generation, the year of ancient rarity; and the next is Xu Wugui, Xiao Shiyu, and Mrs. Leng are a generation, the year of the sixtieth year. These three generations have rarely set foot in the rivers and lakes. Today, the real mainstay of the rivers and lakes is the generation of Song Zheng, Qin Qing, Situ Xuance, Zhang Haishi, and Bai Xiushang, who knew the destiny of heaven; and then the generation of Shen Wuwu and Taiyun, who are not confused; then the generation of Li Yuanying, Zhang Luanshan, and Ning Yi, and the year of their establishment; then the generation of Li Xuandu, Yan Feiqing, Su Yuncheng, Gong Guan, Yu Qingning, Qin Su, and Lu Yanbing, and the year of the crown; and finally the generation of Su Yunjiao, Shen Changsheng, and Zhou Shuning, who are half-grown children.

But the seniority is more chaotic, according to the age, Shen Wuwu is a few years later than Situ Xuance and Zhang Haishi, and he is older than Li Yuanying, Zhang Luanshan and others, it is reasonable to be considered a person of the same generation, but Li Xuandu, a young man who is twenty years younger than Shen Wuwu, can also be regarded as a member of his generation. This is Li Xuandu's advantage of his teacher, walking the rivers and lakes, there are very few people who can be higher than him, and most of the time he can teach on the same level. You must know that the rivers and lakes also pay attention to the rules of secular etiquette, if it is a sect of the world, the younger generations may have to kowtow to the elders, but the elders are different, it is not good for the two to kowtow to each other.

When it comes to generation, most of the time it's not good to take it too seriously. Although the masters of the rivers and lakes have a very long life, the rivers and lakes are full of disputes, and there are few people who can die well. Li Daoxu and Zhang Jingxiu are nearly eighty years old, and there are very few people of the same generation, counting the generations, Li Daoxu and Qin Qingzhi's master are the same generation, Zhang Jingxiu and Bai Xiuxian's master are also equals, so Li Xuandu is always not good for Qin Su to call him uncle, and Yan Feiqing can't let Su Yuncheng call him uncle. Therefore, between different sects, they do not mention each other's classes, and everyone calls each other casually according to their age.

At this time, Li Xuandu and Shen Wuwu were in the same generation, which was not too right or wrong.

Li Xuandu beckoned, "Mr. Shen Da come and sit together?"

Shen Wuwu shook his head and said, "No." ”

Zhang Luanshan said with a smile: "Brother Shen even let the inn out as a meeting place, what else do you have to worry about?"

Shen Wuwu said: "The righteous and evil ways don't trust each other, the Great Heavenly Master is afraid that the Earth Master and the Taiyun will partner in a play to deceive him, and the Great Heavenly Master is afraid that the Great Heavenly Master will take advantage of this matter to fall into the ground, it just so happens that my Taiping Sect is not in harmony with the Zhengyi Sect, but also has a gap with the Yin and Yang Sect, but he is an excellent Chinese person." Since it was the Great Heavenly Master who personally opened his mouth and settled in the Taiping Inn, and Taiyun also agreed, I couldn't refuse, so I could only agree. ”

Li Xuandu looked at both sides: "Since it was decided by the Great Heavenly Master and the Sect Master of Shantai, you can just talk about it." ”

Zhang Luanshan sighed softly: "After all, it is a major matter involving the entire rivers and lakes, and we must be cautious and cautious, a few days ago, several senior uncles have already discussed with the two Venerables of the Wudao Sect, we are just doing things." ”

Li Xuandu glanced left and right: "Whether it is a Zhengyi Sect or a Daoless Sect, which one is not a master like a cloud, is there only these few people, and I have to be added as an outsider?"

The palace official said: "The Purple Mansion is too humble, the first person on the Shaoxuan List, the tenth person on the former Taixuan List, even if it is a Daoless Sect, few people dare to say that they can win the Purple Mansion." ”

Li Xuandu smiled.

The palace official continued: "In addition to a few of us, there are also 'Blood Knife' Ning Yi, Feiyuan Zhenren Yan Xuanji, if you really want to count it, even if you meet the Tibetan old man who is the fourth person in the Taixuan List, it is still unknown who will kill the deer." ”

Li Xuandu was slightly surprised: "Ning Yi will also come?"

The palace official gave him a blank look: "Although everyone in the rivers and lakes says that Ning Yi only listens to my master's orders, in fact he is my person." ”

The palace official deliberately bit the three words "my person" and carefully observed the changes in Li Xuandu's demeanor.

Li Xuandu said unconcernedly: "Then congratulations to the palace girl, Brother Ning is an extremely infatuated man, far better than Li Xuandu, you have to cherish it." ”

The palace official was mentally prepared this time, and he was not angry, but just asked with a smile: "You don't regret it?"

Li Xuandu said with a straight face: "Brother Zhang is also an excellent man, should the palace girl consider it?"

Zhang Luanshan, who has always been moody, finally showed a look of surprise: "Why did you pull me again?"

The palace official snorted lightly.

Li Xuandu smiled but did not speak.

Although Su Yuncheng knew the inside story, it was not easy to break it, so she had to change the topic and said: "In addition to Xuanji and 'Blood Knife', there is another person, although he has a poor reputation in the rivers and lakes, but he is extremely trusted by the sect master of Tangtai, named Song Fuchen. ”

The greedy wolf king was taken aback: "It's him." ”

Li Xuandu asked, "Who is Song Fuchen?"

The greedy wolf king said: "The kings of our Wudao Sect are not static, in the early years, there was a saying of five kings, and there was one more trap king than now. Since the death of the King of the Sky, he has become the Four Kings. In fact, the Holy Monarch has always wanted to add another Broken Army King to make up the pattern of 'killing the wolf', but the Earth Master has always refused to allow it. This Song Fuchen is the candidate for the King of the Broken Army. ”

Li Xuandu said clearly: "Regard him as a quasi-king, that's what it means, right?"

The Greedy Wolf King nodded.

Li Xuandu asked, "What are we going to do?"

This time, Zhang Luanshan spoke: "This time the Holy Monarch and the Earth Master are fighting, after all, it is an internal struggle between the five sects in the northwest, even if the Great Heavenly Master agrees to help, it is not good to intervene openly, so as not to cause the same hatred and hatred of other evil sects." ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Luanshan paused slightly and glanced at Li Xuandu: "It is also to prevent the Qing Weizong from using this as an excuse to attack the Zhengyi Sect." ”

Li Xuandu sighed softly.

Zhang Luanshan continued: "But there is one person who is an exception, and that is Tang Zhou, the Heavenly Gong General of the Qingyang Sect, who is extremely powerful, ranking fifth on the Taixuan List, and has the strongest Qingyang General Altar in the Qingyang Sect under his command. The Qingyang Sect was already closely connected with the Five Sects in the Northwest, and it was natural for him to participate in it, but his attitude wavered a little and he didn't take action for a long time. I heard that the Earth Master was trying to woo him, so the Sect Master of Lantai hoped that we could go to the Qingyang General Altar with Song Fuchen to convince this Tiangong General. ”
