Chapter 220: A little pain doesn't matter
Although there were no guards in this Eight Scenic Courtyard, and even those guards of Tiankui Hall were temporarily sent back by Li Daoxu, Li Xuan had no intention of taking the opportunity to escape. It's not because Li Daoxu cultivates as a god, nor because Penglai Island is surrounded by the sphere of influence of the Qingwei Sect, but because the master believes in him, doesn't restrain him, and leaves him enough face, then he naturally has to treat the master with sincerity. If Li Xuandu runs away at this time, Li Rushi and others will inevitably make up for it with all their might, and at that time, they will be shameless, which is also in response to the sentence "Face is given by others, but face is lost by yourself".
Some people may think that Li Xuandu is pedantic and does not know how to be flexible, but there is only one way to go for some things, if everyone in the world is a smart person and everyone does not go, what will happen? Just like the Golden Horde in the past, when the Golden Horde went south, and Shenzhou sank, if the world was full of smart people, seeing that the Golden Horde army was invincible, they surrendered one after another and lost their lives, I am afraid that the entire Shenzhou has become a slave of the Golden Horde, and for generations, it will never be able to turn over.
Somebody has to do something. The evil of people's hearts lies in the fact that they don't do it, but someone does it, and they have to jump out and question those who do it, and speculate on them with their own dark thoughts, thinking that they are trying to gain fame, and that they are big hypocrisy and truth, but they are really living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
In the last years of the Great Jin Dynasty of the previous dynasty, there was a supervisor who could be called the pillar of the imperial court, who was defeated and captured when resisting the Golden Horde, and then surrendered to the Golden Horde. Later, Emperor Taizu of the Great Wei Dynasty raised troops, and after the baptism of the Central Plains Flower World, the Golden Horde army was no longer the courage of the year, and the defeat was like a mountain, and the hearts of the people in the royal court were floating.
Li Xuandu read history when he was a child, and he didn't understand it when he saw this, until he talked about it with Zhang Baigui inadvertently, Zhang Baigui said that it was not a "matter of eating the king's Lu loyal to the king", don't forget, he was a major minister of the Great Jin Dynasty, if he was really a loyal person, he should rather die than surrender after the defeat, but he just surrendered, which shows that he is not a loyal person.
It is human nature to cherish one's body and fear death, and his unwillingness to die is nothing and blameless. But he shouldn't be a tiger and turn around to help the Golden Horde bring disaster to the Central Plains.
If this person is not willing to be loyal to his court of the same clan and race, how can he be loyal to a foreign race? If all the people of the Central Plains became slaves of the Golden Horde, then no one would accuse the overseer of treason and defection to the enemy, after all, the eldest brother did not laugh at the second brother, and after the Golden Horde won the world, he was the hero of the Golden Horde's court. But if the Golden Horde loses the world, then he will inevitably be nailed to the pillar of shame in the history books, leaving a stench for 10,000 years, so this Governor is the most dedicated to the country of the Golden Horde, which can be called dead heart and loyalty, not for the Golden Horde, but for himself, for his own reputation, he does not hesitate to pull the entire Shenzhou Central Plains into the water, which is really the first sinister intention.
Now the situation in Qingweizong is the same, everyone doesn't speak, that is, standing on the same line, no one is taller than others, but Li Xuandu stood up and spoke, it seemed that Li Xuandu was a head taller, and under the background of Li Xuandu, it became more and more unbearable for others. To use an inappropriate analogy, the top of a table is covered with dust, and you will not feel anything, but if you wipe off the dust in one of the places, it will appear that the surrounding dust is a little dazzling, either wipe all the dust clean, or re-cover the dust on this clean place, relatively speaking, the latter is naturally simpler, that is: the line is higher than the people, and the people must not.
If Li Daoxu handed over Li Xuandu to Li Rushi for disposal, it would make Li Xuandu have to die, and now he handed over Li Xuandu to Zhang Haishi for disposal, or left a way for Li Xuandu to live.
At this point, it is useless for Li Xuandu to worry and anxiety again. He is also a big-hearted person, so he simply doesn't bother about these anymore, fortunately with the company of beauties, so that in the day of waiting for tomorrow's arrival, it will not be tormented.
When Li Xuandu was still young, this eight-view courtyard was not a forbidden place, just like when the children were young, they lived with their parents, and they would move out and start a family by themselves when they grew up, so Li Xuandu also lived in this eight-view courtyard when he was a child, and this small courtyard was his residence. In addition to the courtyard, there were four rooms, which were the living room, the quiet room, the living room, and the study, and there were many servants in the Hakkei Courtyard at that time, who were responsible for cooking and cleaning. It's just that later, all the servants were also driven out, and only Li Daoxu was left.
Qin Su still came to Li Xuandu for the first time when he lived when he was a child, and he couldn't help but be curious, Li Xuandu hadn't been here for many years.
The two came to the living room from the living room, but saw only a bed, a round table, and two embroidered piers, which were already full of dust, and apparently no one had come for many years, so there was nothing surprising, and they came out of the living room and came to the study along a rain eaves corridor.
As soon as he entered the study, Qin Su's eyes lit up, and the first thing that caught his eye was a red sandalwood backing case, on which there was a shelf commonly used to put swords, but it was a verdant jade flute placed horizontally on it.
Qin Su is a person who loves music and rhythm, and he naturally felt happy when he saw the instrument, so he stepped forward to pick up the jade flute, and started with a slight heaviness, but it was not the weight that a jade flute should have.
Li Xuandu smiled slightly, took the jade flute from her hand, held one end, and gently pulled it out, the jade flute was divided into two, revealing a bright and cold light, which was actually a short sword.
Qin Su flattened his mouth, and couldn't hide his disappointment: "I thought you could blow the flute, then we can play a song together." β
Li Xuandu smiled and said: "You used to say that I was naΓ―ve and childish, so have you found that you have become a very small woman recently? When I first met you, you were not like this, you were a very big woman at that time." β
Qin Su didn't refute, just glared at him and turned to look at the bookcase.
There are not too many surprises on the bookcase, nothing more than pens, ink, paper, inkstones, plus pen washes, pen holders, paperweights and other things, Qin Su directly skipped over, came to the bookshelf, only to see that there were many books of different thicknesses on the shelves, she took out one at random, and wrote on it a few big characters "Beidou Thirty-six Sword Tricks True Interpretation of the Alpha Character Chapter", and then took out two books, respectively written "Xuanwei True Technique Detailed Explanation of the Circle Potential Method Part I" and "Imperial Sword Technique Notes II", and couldn't help but say: "The books here won't all be exercise cheats, right?"
Li Xuandu nodded and said, "That's pretty much it, there are still some original cheats." β
Qin Su looked at the bookshelves that occupied most of the walls, and couldn't help but sigh.
Cheats are different from cheats, if some cheats are not annotated, people with low realms can't understand them at all, and there are some cheats that must be combined with other exercises of the sect to succeed in cultivation, the most famous example is the six classics of the Xuannu Sect, all of which are indispensable. If you forcibly cultivate without a secret book but without a corresponding realm, you will not be able to escape the fate of falling into the devil, and your cultivation will be greatly damaged at the least, and your life will be lost at worst. But there are so many annotations and numbers in the cheats here, and they have obviously been sorted out, thinking that they are from the hands of the old sword god, if they are put on the rivers and lakes, I don't know how many people will fight and kill. But now they were forgotten, in a study that no one had set foot on.
Li Xuandu waved his sleeves to disperse the dust on the chair behind the bookcase, sat alone on the chair, and said: "Looking back now, the time of learning art back then was still extremely boring and difficult, and later went out to travel the rivers and lakes, although it was dangerous, but it was also colorful, far from being compared with when I was a child." β
Qin Su put the books in his hand back and paced in the study with his hands behind his back: "I didn't feel bored when I was a child, I practiced martial arts if I wanted to, and if I didn't want to practice martial arts, I went to learn the piano, or read and play chess. β
"Actually, no one forced me. Li Xuandu sighed: "If you have to say that someone is forcing me, it is the situation of the Qingwei Sect that forces me, the fifth child has been greedy for fun since she was a child, and then you have also seen that her status in the sect has not been up or down, and she has been 'bullied' by the senior brothers......"
When he said this, Li Xuan remembered the fight between him and Lu Yanbing, and couldn't help but smile slightly, and then continued: "Even the junior brother can press on her head to make a fortune, you said that she doesn't have the slightest resentment in her heart, I don't believe it at all, but what can I do if I have resentment, my skills are not as good as others, who is to blame? I have understood this truth since I was very young, so I didn't dare to relax at all, which is why I am today." β
Qin Su came behind Li Xuandu, gently hugged her from behind, and asked with a smile, "Okay Xuan'er, are you still bitter now?"
Li Xuandu smiled: "When have I suffered? I have the cheats that countless people in the rivers and lakes can't ask for, and I can run rampant in the rivers and lakes at a young age. Some people are clearly better than nine out of nine people in the world, but because of a slight flaw, or no loved ones, or lost their loved ones, so they feel that their life is miserable, and the sky bears me, and they often talk about this, that is not bitter, that is called pretentiousness, and lack of greed. β
As the words fell, a bolt of lightning outside lit up the sky, followed by a blast of thunder, visible to the naked eye, connecting the sky and the earth, making the room light up, as if it had fallen outside the door.
The sound of the torrential rain intensified with the thunder.
At this time, in addition to the vast heavy rain, there were only two people in the entire Eight Scenery Courtyard, Qin Su's courage was much greater, he gently hugged Li Xuandu's neck, and said softly: "What about you now? Obviously you are kind, but no one appreciates it, and I want to blame you for being nosy, aren't you uncomfortable? I think you are bitter." β
Li Xuandu held her hand and chuckled: "But it's a little pain, if you feel sorry for me, it's nothing." β
Qin Su rested his chin on Li Xuandu's head: "You, you really have a big heart." β
