Zhang Jingshen would come to Taiping Sect as a guest, which Li Xuan did not expect. However, from this point alone, it is impossible to find fault with him, after all, there are friendships between various sects, and it is reasonable to visit friends. It's just that at this time, Zhang Jingshen came to Taiping Sect, but he was afraid that his intentions were not pure and the comer was not good.

Li Xuandu was silent for a moment and asked, "Did someone take the initiative to invite him to come?" Or did he take the initiative to come to the door himself?"

"On the bright side, no one invites. Mrs. Lu replied, "After Yan Zhenren left the Zhengyi Sect, the Zhengyi Sect was presided over by Zhang Jingshen, no matter what, Zhang Jingshen is also the head of the sect, if it is an invitation, you must send an invitation, leave a written record, and the Confidential Pavilion will have a file, I have checked, and there is no archive in this regard, only Zhang Jingshen's worship post." However, it is difficult to say whether someone secretly communicated with Zhang Jingshen in advance and agreed on this matter. ”

"The inside should be the outside. Li Xuandu laughed, "The strongest city in the world is afraid that the enemy is inside the city but not outside." The Golden Horde, in the eyes of our Central Plains people, is like a tiger's den in Longtan, but the old Khan is still dead, and the reason is that someone lured a wolf into the room. ”

Mrs. Lu sighed, "This is also what I'm worried about. They felt that the sect master was an outsider, and Zhang Jingshen was also an outsider, so they wanted to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, but the sect master was personally entrusted by the previous sect master to appoint, there is reason to follow, there is a law to follow, from the great heavenly master to the sect masters, they are all recognized and supported, and it is already recognized in the rivers and lakes. But now they are conspiring with Zhang Jingshen again, and their name is not right, and they are suspected of forgetting their ancestors. ”

Li Xuandu said: "Who are they?"

Mrs. Lu hesitated: "There is no evidence yet." ”

Li Xuandu said: "Madame doesn't have to be nervous, I don't want to ask the teacher to ask for guilt, I just want to know in my heart, Madame just needs to say her opinion." ”

The seven elders of Taiping are Shen Yuanzhong, Shen Yuanzhou, Sikong Zao, Mrs. Lu, Yu Xian, Shen Yuanzhai, and Xu Feibai. Those who support Li Xuandu are Mrs. Lu, Shen Yuanzhou, and Shen Yuanzhai, and those who oppose Li Xuandu are Shen Yuanzhong, Yu Xian, and Xu Feibai, and Sikong Zao adheres to neutrality.

Hearing Li Xuandu say this, Mrs. Lu no longer hesitated, and said slowly: "Since the battle in Beibi Mountain, Shen Yuanzhong knows that he is not the opponent of the sect master, and he has decided to give in, after all, he is still a great elder, and the sect master also respects him, and his status in the sect will not be affected too much. But the people around him don't think so, these people are like vines, they can only survive by clinging to the big tree, the higher the tree is thicker and stronger, the more nourishing they will live, and if the big tree falls, they can't live alone. I guess it was the people around him who said something to him that made him think otherwise. ”

Li Xuandu tapped the armrest lightly with his fingers, pondered for a moment, and asked, "I remember that the Great Elder has a son who is not a master?"

"Yes. Mrs. Lu nodded and said, "His name is Shen Wuxing." ”

Hearing this name, Qin Su immediately remembered that she accompanied Li Xuandu to visit Shen Yuanzhong that day, and met a young man on the way, who behaved frivolously and had bad intentions towards her.

Li Xuandu asked directly: "Could this Shen Gongzi be the one who lured the wolf into the room?"

Mrs. Lu pondered for a moment and said, "It's very likely." Shen Wuxing has always been Mu Qiang, when the old sect master died at the hands of the earth master, the Taiping Sect had to close the mountain gate, and the disciples in the sect had to walk the rivers and lakes to act in a low-key manner, to put it mildly, it was to clamp the tail and be a man, Shen Wuxing was very dissatisfied with this. During that time, the Zhengyi Sect and the Qingwei Sect were competing with each other, and the disciples of these two sects were superior to others everywhere in the rivers and lakes

, he was disappointed in the Taiping Sect, not only belittled his own family in the sect, but also trumpeted how the Zhengyi Sect was, and asked the Taiping Sect to follow the example of the Zhengyi Sect everywhere, and often looked for a way to visit friends in Wuzhou, if he had a contact with the people of the Zhang family of the Zhengyi Sect at that time, it would be reasonable. ”

Qin Su frowned and said: "The rise and fall of the state and the ups and downs of people. The son is not ugly to the mother, and the dog is not poor at home. Shen Wuxing was so disgusted with the Taiping Sect that gave birth to him and raised him, and he couldn't wait to become a member of the Zhengyi Sect, but what if the Zhengyi Sect was weakened? Is he going to become a member of the Qingwei Sect again? The three family slaves are nothing more than that. ”

Mrs. Lu smiled, "Miss Qin's statement is not very good, but it is not wrong, after all, it is not true. ”

Li Xuandu thought for a while and asked, "Mrs. Fang Cai said that she wanted to give me something, I don't know what it is?"

Mrs. Lu got up and said, "Sect Master, please come with me." ”

Qin Su and Chu Yunshen didn't get up, Qin Su motioned to Li Xuandu with her eyes, she wanted to avoid suspicion and let Li Xuandu go alone.

Li Xuandu didn't force it, got up and followed Mrs. Lu to the depths of the Heavenly Machine Palace. The Tianji Hall occupies a large area, and is divided into several small halls of different sizes, with a long corridor running throughout, although it is twists and turns, but there is no need to worry about getting lost.

The two came to a bronze door with Ding Xu written on it, and Mrs. Lu took out a large bunch of keys from her sleeve, took out the corresponding keys, and opened the bronze door.

The hall is full of strange and unknown instruments, the two came to a half-person high bronze vessel, like a closed bud, the bronze vessel is cast around four copper heads, respectively, corresponding to the four elephant holy beasts, Mrs. Lu took out four beads of different colors, respectively put into the mouths of the four beast heads, and then saw the closed "flower buds" bloom layer by layer, into a lotus platform, in which a box was placed.

Li Xuandu asked, "This is?"

Mrs. Lu reached out and took the box and said, "Let's be a clever plan." My grandson is good at divination, and he seems to have had a premonition before the accident, so he made a lot of preparations in advance, but he didn't tell me directly, and I found that he left a letter when I tidied up his study, and I realized that there was something hidden here. ”

Li Xuandu looked around, he didn't know how many strange instruments there were, and hoped that Mr. Shen Da would not leave one trick after another like the strategists and military advisors in the script.

Mrs. Lu sent the box in her hand to Li Xuandu, "He said in the letter that the person who handed over this box to the head of the Taiping Sect, since the sect master was personally identified by him, then it should be handed over to the sect master." ”

Li Xuandu took the box from Mrs. Lu's hand, and when he opened it, he found that it was actually a map, but Li Xuandu couldn't be sure where this was a map, in addition to drawing mountains and rivers, the map also highlighted the location of a similar city.

Li Xuandu handed the map to Mrs. Lu, "Does Madame know where this is?"

Madam Lu took the map, stared at it for a long time, and frowned: "It seems to be a little familiar, but I need to compare it with the various geographical maps in the sect one by one before I can be sure." ”

Li Xuan didn't mean to return the map, "Then there is Mrs. Lao." ”

Mrs. Lu put away the map and returned the same way with Li Xuandu.

At this time, Shen Changsheng and Yechi had already returned. After Shen Changsheng saw Mrs. Lu, he whispered a few words in her ear.

Mrs. Lu frowned when she heard this, and said, "Are you lucky to see Shen Wuxing?

Sect Master, isn't he a little too carried away?"

Shen Changsheng could only be silent.

This was not meant for Shen Changsheng, but for several other people, to be precise, for Li Xuandu.

Li Xuandu said: "Since he wants to come, let him come over." ”

Mrs. Lu waved her hand to Shen Changsheng, and Shen Changsheng understood and walked outside the hall.

It was only at this time that Mrs. Lu beckoned the maid to serve tea to a few guests, not that Mrs. Lu had forgotten the etiquette, but that she didn't want to expose Li Xuandu's whereabouts too early, and it would be good if she could delay it for a while, so she also dismissed the surrounding disciples, but she didn't expect it to be known by Shen Wuxing. Now that the news has leaked out, Mrs. Lu has nothing to hide, so she simply let the people below go their own way. However, she had already made up her mind in her mind that she would definitely check it out later to see how many nails there were around her.

About a stick of incense later, under the guidance of Shen Changsheng, a young man came to the Tianji Palace, only to see that he was wearing a fashionable white arrow sleeve of Xuemei Flying Butterfly, with a silk silk ribbon hanging with long spikes around his waist, a golden crown to tie his hair, and a dark color forehead on his forehead, and a pearl the size of a pigeon's egg was inlaid in the center, 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.

This person is none other than Shen Wuxing, who has had a relationship with Li Xuandu and Qin Su.

After Shen Wuxing saw Qin Su, his eyes lit up, and then he bowed his head and said, "I've seen Sect Master Dai, Sect Master Qin, Senior Sister Lu, isn't this Senior Brother Chu, why did you come back?"

Although Shen Wuxing is not very old, he is the same as Li Xuandu, and his seniority is very high, only a generation shorter than Zhang Jingxiu, Li Daoxu and others.

Li Xuandu waved his hand, "Senior Brother Shen, don't be polite." ”

Shen Wuxing straightened up, I don't know whether it was intentional or not, Shen Wuxing just stood facing Qin Su and smiled at Qin Su.

Qin Su was disgusted in her heart, but now she was the head of a sect, and she also knew the word "city", her face was not half obvious, and she still had a faint smile, but she didn't look at him, but looked at Li Xuandu beside her.

Shen Wuxing saw this scene, his face darkened slightly, but he returned to normal in an instant.

Chu Yunshen smiled, "It's rare that Senior Brother Shen still remembers me as a useless person. ”

Shen Wuxing said: "Senior Brother Chu, where is this, who doesn't know that Senior Brother Chu is in Qizhou, and Qin Butang obeys his words, and they all say that Senior Brother Chu is the shadow governor." By the way, if I'm not mistaken, this Qin Butang is still the clan uncle of the Qin Sect Master. ”

Qin Su nodded slightly.

Shen Wuxing smiled: "It turns out that they are all family. ”

Li Xuandu asked, "Senior Brother Shen came to see me in a hurry, but is there something?"

Shen Wuxing said: "I heard that the Acting Sect Master has returned to the sect, so I waited in the Taiping Palace early, but I didn't see any trace of the Acting Sect Master, and I sent someone to inquire, only then did I know that the Acting Sect Master came to Senior Sister Lu's side by a detour." ”

"Good ears. As soon as my front foot arrived, you came on the back foot. Li Xuandu smiled and said, "I heard that there is a distinguished guest in the Taiping Palace today?"

"Exactly. Shen Wuxing said respectfully: "It's Sect Master Zhang of the Zhengyi Sect." ”

"Sect Master Zhang, what a Sect Master Zhang. Li Xuandu smiled, "I am the acting sect master, and he is also the acting sect master, and the sect master Zhang didn't want to know how to remove the word 'generation', but ran to my Taiping Sect, what do you want?"
