The day after the ascension ceremony, all the guests descended the mountain one after another, and Li Xuan sent them off one by one.

Zhang Haishi walked last, drank with Li Xuandu until late at night, and then ignored Li Xuandu's retention, bathed in the night, clothed in the moonlight, went to sea with the sword, and returned to Qingweizong from the sea.

On the third day, Li Xuandu began to take over the Taiping Sect step by step.

Taiping Mountain is vast, the Taiping Seven Elders do not all live in the Taiping Palace on weekdays, just like Li Xuandu's Tianshui Pavilion, and the Taiping Palace are far away, it seems to be close at hand, if it is not the law of flying, but walking the mountain road, and then going up the mountain after going down the mountain, the road is really not close. Shen Yuanzhong lives on the Yujian Peak not far from the Taiping Palace, although it is not very steep and steep, but the forest is luxuriant, evergreen in all seasons, the cave springs are all over, surrounded by clouds and mist, it is a beautiful place.

There is a pavilion and a view on the Yujian Peak, the view is the Taoist temple, enshrines the ancestor of the Taishang Dao, is located in the position of the halfway mountainside, the pavilion is the residence of Shen Yuanzhong, and it is on the top of the mountain. If you want to climb the mountain, you have to go through the Taoist temple, and if you are not invited, you will naturally be blocked halfway up the mountain.

Today, there is a man and a woman who climb the mountain, and when they reach the door of the Taoist temple, two Taoists immediately come forward to salute and ask.

Because the Taiping Sect inherited the Taoist system of the Taiping Dao, there are still some disciples in the sect who maintain the custom of becoming a monk, but it is not mandatory, and there are also a large number of lay disciples. This kind of lay disciple is different from the lay monk of Zhengyi, the disciple of Zhengyi can not take the Dharma name, do not wear Taoist robes, but in essence he is still a Taoist, but the lay disciples of the Taiping Sect have nothing to do with the Taoist, so the Taiping Sect is not classified into the four sects of Taoism, but is classified into the four sects of non-Buddha and non-Tao.

The man said, "I'm Li Xuandu, and I'm here to visit the Great Elder." ”

The two Taoists were immediately stunned, and when they ascended to the throne, the two of them naturally followed everyone to meet the sect master, but at that time, the sect master was on a high platform, and they didn't dare to blatantly raise their heads to look directly at the sect master, so they only had a glimpse of the sect master's appearance, and they were not too impressed.

At this time, listening to the person in front of him claiming to be the sect master, he suddenly found that his appearance did gradually coincide with the sect master in his memory, and then looked at the clothes on this person's body, which was the color of the sect master's clothes, so he hurriedly saluted and said: "I have seen the sect master." ”

Li Xuandu raised his hand, signaled that the two of them didn't need to be polite, and asked, "Is the Great Elder here?"

The faces of the two suddenly showed embarrassment, since they were staying here, they were naturally Shen Yuanzhong's people, but the sect master couldn't help but answer when he asked.

Li Xuandu looked at the expressions of the two of them, understood in his heart, and said, "That's it, you go up and report, I'll wait here." ”

If the two of them were amnesty, they bowed to Li Xuan again, but they were a little more sincere than the last salute, and then turned around and walked towards the Taoist temple.

A short time later, another man who looked to be in his twenties walked out of the temple, undressed

Taoist robe, but wore a fashionable white arrow sleeve of Xuemei flying butterfly, tied with a silk silk with long tassels around his waist, and tied his hair with a gold crown, while also putting a dark color on his forehead, inlaid with a pearl the size of a pigeon's egg, shining in the sun. Looking at his face again, his face is like powder, his lips are like grease, a pair of peach blossom eyes, endless style, and a charm are all on the eyebrows.

"The Acting Sect Master is here, and if you miss it, forgive your sins. Before that person arrived in front of Li Xuandu, he had already bowed his hand again and again: "I am not fortunate to be in Xia Shen, I have seen the sect master...... I don't know who this girl is?"

After this person saw the woman who came with Li Xuandu, his eyes suddenly lit up, he is also a person who has seen the world, it is not an exaggeration to say that he has read countless women, no matter how good a woman's skin is, the key is to match it with gas. Some women are not outstanding in appearance, but they have a wide range of experience, respectful status, and graceful temperament, which is a plus. Some women are brilliant-looking, but they are unpolished, cowering, cowardly, and cowardly, which is a minus point. The woman in front of him, although her appearance is beautiful, but it is still secondary, the key is that she is not bad, soft and rigid, reserved and has a bit of awe-inspiring majesty that can only be cultivated in a high position, which makes him very moved, and the amazement in his eyes can no longer be hidden.

The woman spoke, "My surname is Qin." ”

Shen Wuxing suddenly said: "It turned out to be Miss Qin, Shen heard that Miss Qin was speechless when she heard that Miss Qin was speechless at the promotion ceremony of the Acting Sect Master, and he was very impressed, but unfortunately Shen was unable to go to watch the ceremony that day because of other things, and missed Miss Qin, and he was greatly embarrassed, and he never thought that he could see Miss Qin here today, which is really a blessing for three lives." ”

Qin Su said lightly: "Senior Brother Shen has the word "none" in his name, I think he is the same generation as Mr. Shen?"

"Yes, Mr. Shen Da is the next cousin. Shen Wuxing said: "My father is the great elder of the Taiping Sect. ”

Li Xuandu smiled: "It's just right, I want to visit the Great Elder, so I will ask Senior Brother Shen to pass it on on my behalf." ”

"How dare you. The Acting Sect Master is here in person, how can there be a truth for transmission, please come up the mountain with the Acting Sect Master and Miss Qin. Shen Wuwu's smile was even bigger.

Li Xuandu said the word "good".

Shen Wuxing then took the two of them to the top of Yujian Peak, the mountain path was paved with long bluestone bricks, bamboo forests were planted on both sides, the breeze came slowly, and the bamboo leaves swayed, which was really a quiet place for self-cultivation. Shen Wuxing pointed out the scenery all the way, and all kinds of allusions, poems and articles were casually said, showing his elegant demeanor, and he didn't forget to talk to Qin Su and ask some questions about music. Qin Su does not refuse people thousands of miles away, responds decently, and does not leak.

Li Xuandu just watched coldly, he was an old man, from the kings and grandsons to the common people in cloth, no one had seen it, where could he not see Shen Wuxing's careful thoughts, but he didn't say anything, and Qin Su dealt with it. This is also a tacit understanding of trust between the two, there are women

When pestering Li Xuandu, Qin Su never came forward to speak, and Li Xuandu dealt with it, and at this time, it was the other way around, Li Xuandu would not rush to intervene and completely trusted Qin Su.

Li Xuandu will only behave lightly in front of Qin Su, and Qin Su will only be shy and shy in front of people close to him, when in front of outsiders, Miss Qin is not a weak woman, she can not only verbally argue, but also draw a knife to kill, if she is underestimated, Han Yinyue's fate is a lesson from the past.

Qin Su naturally also knocked out Shen Wuxing's improper intentions, but at this time, Shen Wuxing didn't have any outrageous behavior, and she was not easy to attack, if Shen Wuxing dared to do anything wrong, move his left hand to cut off his left hand, move his right hand to see and cut off his right hand, and cut it with both hands when both hands moved. This kind of thing is put on the rivers and lakes, not talking about the king's law, only talking about morality, saying that the sky is broken, and she is also taking advantage of the reason, killing a disciple, and she can afford this disaster.

But then again, this kind of thing depends on whether the woman is willing or not, so Li Xuandu, the "disciple", does not have to be killed, and can be kept.

When you reach the top of the mountain, you can see that the pavilion is hidden in the mountain forest, and it is Shen Yuanzhong's residence. Shen Wuxing was about to enter the interior to report to his father, but Li Xuandu directly opened his mouth and said, "Li Xuandu has something to visit the Great Elder. ”

The sound of this sentence is not loud, just like an ordinary speaking voice, even if Shen Wuxing is not far from Li Xuan, there is no deafening feeling. But on the top of the entire mountain, no matter how far or near, the ears all remembered Li Xuandu's voice, as if the person who spoke was changing, even if he deliberately blocked his ears and closed his hearing, he could still hear it clearly, which was an extremely clever use of qi and broken hands.

After a while, Shen Yuanzhong's voice came out: "It turned out that the Sect Master was coming, please forgive the old man for not being able to welcome him from afar, please come in." ”

Shen Yuanzhong's voice was also clear, but faintly, it shook the soul, like the yin god meeting the spring thunder. If an ordinary person encounters it, it will be in a trance, or the soul will leave the body directly, which is what the world often calls losing the soul.

However, whether it is Li Xuandu or Qin Su, they are not afraid at all, Qin Su said in a voice: "Shen Yuan is a big shelf, you, the acting sect master, came in person, and he didn't even come out to greet him, did he rely on the old and sell the old, or did he deliberately lose your face?"

Li Xuandu smiled lightly: "Everyone in the world knows that I, the Acting Sect Master, are at odds with the Great Elder, and there are no outsiders here, so why bother to behave? ”

Qin Su said: "Even so, there should be rules, when he was in the Qingwei Sect, how magnificent was Old Sect Master Li? Even if he didn't meet him, just in his words, he was like a god." ”

Li Xuandu sighed: "Master, the result of his old man's accumulation of prestige for many years, is not a day's work, not comparable to me, the newly appointed sect master, and now the plan can only be slowly figured out." Including the fact that we came to see Shen Yuanzhong today, they are all in these four words. ”
