Wu Zhen, as a master of the Vajra Sect, didn't care too much about Li Xuandu's thanks or not, and the words he said just now were of course out of good intentions, but they were not what he really wanted to say, just like a feast, the main dish has not yet been served.

The old monk said softly: "The poor monk's trip to the north was not intended to be the Taiyin corpse that was about to be born, but he received Su Yuncheng's flying sword biography halfway, so he rushed here, but he didn't expect to see Li Gongzi here, which was both a coincidence and fate, so he wanted to say a few words to Li Gongzi, and I hope that Li Gongzi will not dislike the poor monk's noise." ”

Li Xuandu smiled and said, "Master, please speak." ”

The old monk pondered for a while, and said slowly: "The talent of the Lingshi is high, looking at the entire rivers and lakes, it is also a rare person to compare, the identity and status of the Lingshi is also in the rivers and lakes, and no one is disrespectful, but the Lingshi acts often unexpectedly, not according to common sense......

Without waiting for Wuzhen to finish speaking, Li Xuandu was already upright: "If the family teacher treats me with kindness like my parents, I shouldn't and dare not hear the teacher's faults." ”

Wu Zhen seems to have expected Li Xuandu to say this, and said: "Although the poor monk is a disciple of Buddhism, he is also familiar with the subtle words of the Confucian sage, and the Confucian sage says: heaven, earth, king, parent, teacher, among them, there is a saying: 'If the father has a quarrel with the son, then the body will not fall into injustice.'" Therefore, when it is unjust, the son cannot fight against the father, and the minister cannot fight against the king. Therefore, when the unrighteous are fought for, and the father's order is obeyed, how can it be filial piety? 'Li Gongzi once had a close relationship with the Confucian Zhang Suqing, and he thought that he also knew the truth of the sage, so he dared to ask Li Gongzi, what is the meaning of this?"

Li Xuandu hesitated for a moment and said, "The meaning of the Confucian sage is that if a father has a son who dares to speak out, he will not do anything unbenevolent. Therefore, when a father does something unrighteous, the son should not blindly obey the father, but should speak out to the father, and in the same way, when the king commits unrighteousness, the courtier should not obey the king, but should also speak out against it. The sage talks about filial piety, and he must be filial, but he does not have to be obedient. If it should be smooth, it should be smooth, and when it should not be smooth, it should be filial piety and not obedient. If you blindly obey the reality and trap your parents in injustice, it is unfilial. ”

After saying this, Li Xuandu already knew what Wuzhen was going to say, and he had to listen to it.

Sure enough, Wuzhen smiled slightly after hearing this: "Master, master, for the master and father, within a sect, the master and the disciple are both the monarch and the minister, and the father and son, sometimes the closest person is not the father and the son, but the master and the apprentice." The son takes the kindness of his parents for granted, and the disciple regards the kindness of the master as a repayment. can repay the teacher's kindness, and you must not put the master in an unrighteous situation, which is what Li Gongzi just said about filial piety and disobedience. If we are filial and disobedient, how can we say that we dare not hear about the mistakes of the master? If we do not hear the mistakes of the master, how can we speak up and fight? If we do not speak out and resist, will we not put the master in an unrighteous situation?"

Li Xuandu sighed lightly: "I have heard for a long time that people in Buddhism are unparalleled in debate, and I can see it today, and I have indeed understood it." Let the master continue. ”

Wu Zhen said: "If the poor monk is not mistaken, Li Gongzi ranks fourth among the disciples of Lingshi, I wonder if Li Gongzi knows that your junior sister, Lu Yanbing, who is famous on the Shaoxuan list, has already served in Qingluanwei?"

Li Xuandu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this: "Don't hide it from the master, not only do you know about it, but you also have a contest with my junior sister." ”

Wu Zhen sighed lightly and said, "Since Gongzi Li already knows about this, then in Gongzi Li's opinion, is this just a move by Ling Mei, or is it a move by your sect?"

Li Xuandu was silent.

With his understanding of Lu Yanbing, although she has some ambitions, she will never dare to disobey her master, so she will become one of the three right governors of Qingluanwei, and this matter is quite interesting.

There are some things that Li Xuan doesn't want to think about, not that he can't guess.

The reason for this is not a problem.

Victory or defeat is never on the surface, some people win face and lose the lining, they can only close the mountain, some people lose face and lose the lining, they can only close the temple, and some people lose face but win the lining, then it is a win.

This point was already made clear when Yan Feiqing and Li Xuandu had a deep talk.

Wu Zhen looked at Li Xuandu's expression, and already knew the answer, and then said: "Lingshi's actions, not to mention the motives, have already made Zhengyizong extremely dissatisfied, they are the two pillars of the righteous path, I am afraid that this matter is not easy to get rid of, if there is a dispute, no matter which side wins, both sides will lose countless masters, which is really not the blessing of the righteous path alliance." ”

Li Xuandu looked at the old monk and asked knowingly, "What does the master mean?"

Wu Zhendao: "If Li Gongzi is willing to intervene and ask the master to focus on the common people in the world and the sects of the righteous path, and eliminate a catastrophe invisibly, then all the people in the world will remember the benevolence and kindness of Li Gongzi and Lingshi, Yan Zhangjiao and Fairy Su, and they are also willing to give Li Gongzi the 'Zhu Guo' and 'Immortal Spring' required by the 'Wuqi True Pill', and the right to be a thank you gift." ”

After hearing this unexpected answer, Li Xuandu calmed down, but he felt a little touched.

From the original Zhang Luanshan to save people, to Yu Qingning deliberately giving in to the Taiping Inn, and then the palace officials saw him in Ping'an County, and later Yan Feiqing sent a hand to help in the wind and thunder, and Yu Qingning sent the "Wuqi True Pill" Danfang in Longmen Mansion, and then met with Su Yuncheng in the Guanque Inn, and until now he is still talking to this "golden-bodied Arhat" in the Guanque Inn.

Everything is for the sake of foreshadowing this sentence.

Before he went out of the rivers and lakes, the righteous path sects already had a tendency to be tense, and after he was led back to the rivers and lakes by Zhang Luanshan's kindness, everyone thought that he was the key person and thought that he could reverse the situation, so his trip to the rivers and lakes was thrilling and dangerous, and people from all walks of life came one after another, making him inadvertently stand on the top of the tide, and the reason for this was not just because of a Zifu Sword Immortal.

As for whether he is the key person, Li Xuandu thinks that he is not.

Two years after Tianbao, he was taken back to Shimen by the second senior brother, first to recuperate, then to cultivate the mind, plus reflection, only left the Shimen once, took back Zhang Baiyue's ashes from Zhang Luanshan's hands, and then went to Jianxiu Mountain to bury it, in the rest of the time, he was like a scholar who didn't listen to things outside the window, although Xiucai didn't go out, he knew the world, but the "books" in Li Xuandu's hands were all given by the master, what he wanted to know, what he didn't want to know, "books" What should be written and what should not be written is decided by the master, so Li Xuandu does not know many things, which is reasonable.

Thinking of this, Li Xuandu's mood rippled slightly, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Some things, right or wrong, are just success or failure.

No matter how lofty and magnificent your starting point is, how much you care about the common people, and how much you care about the world, if you lose, you will lose, and you must give an explanation to others. There is no such thing as a good thing in the world that only makes decisions without bearing the consequences, and there must always be someone who stands up and takes responsibility for it.

If it is placed in the imperial court and loses the battle, then the generals who lead the army will be unable to escape the blame, and they will be beheaded, and the ministers who will lead the war will be deposed, even if it is the emperor, their prestige will be greatly reduced because of this, and they will even have to hand over part of their power to their courtiers.

Even if you are in the middle of the rivers and lakes, you will destroy people and the whole family, and you must be prepared to be found by the fish that slipped through the net to take revenge after many years.

The court and the rivers and lakes are like this, how can Li Xuandu be transcendent.

Because of the change in the original imperial capital, he had lost ground in the division, and the cultivation realm could make a comeback, but this loss of momentum was a slump, so he didn't think that he would be the key person to turn things around.

It's just that in this matter, Li Xuandu's own thoughts don't matter, the key is how others think of him.

Li Xuandu pondered for a moment and said softly: "If you receive the favor of others, you must repay it." The world is righteous, and the husband is responsible. Since the master has said so, then I should do my part. It's just that at this time, it is still necessary to deal with the Soap Pavilion Sect, I don't know if the master thinks so?"

Wu Zhen smiled slightly: "It should be like this." ”
