Li Xuandu's thoughts wandered, and he remembered what his master had said to him in his early years: "You can accomplish something, not because of how capable you are, but just because you are in this position." As for those who can't do anything in this position, they are mediocre. ”

Li Xuan couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "The reason why I can become the acting sect master of the Taiping Sect is not because of how capable I am and how high my moral character is, but because of the times. ”

Zhang Haishi saw that Li Xuandu seemed to have the intention of refusing, and waved his hand and said: "Let's go, my brother is not forcing you to be this great sage and good teacher, let alone letting you go to unify the Daomen to be the master of the Daomen, but the trend of the times, if you don't come to this position, you have someone else to do it, if you let those people with bad intentions occupy a high position, I don't know how many disasters will be caused, it is better to let you do it." ”

Li Xuandu finally had nothing to say. The reason why he refused was not because he did not admire the glory and power, he was not so noble, what man had never aspired to make meritorious deeds? Great Heavenly Master Zhang Jingxiu, as the leader of the Righteous Path Alliance, in addition to the great Zhengyi Sect, he also has to take into account the 'Four-Six Dispute' and the battle between good and evil, how hard and hard, even so, he still has to tremble and tremble, walking on thin ice, for fear that if one wrong step is wrong, every step will be wrong, and in the end he will lose everything.

At this moment, a disciple of the Taiping Sect outside reported softly: "Mr. Qiqi, Mr. Li, three real people came together. ”

The word "real person" is extremely precious, there are many great masters of the Heavenly and Human Realm in the rivers and lakes, not to mention dozens of people, there are only three great masters of the Heavenly and Human Realm who may get the title of real person, they are the Sanxuan Zhenren of Shenxiao Sect, the Taiwei Zhenren of Donghua Sect, and the Wanshou Zhenren of Miaozhen Sect, as for Yan Feiqing, the Feiyuan Zhenren, or the True Realm, and Zhang Jingxiu, the Yuanyang Miaoyi Zhenren, is the immortal realm, not in the realm of heaven and man.

At this time, the three real people came together, and they were naturally the three real people of the All-True Path.

Li Xuandu said to the Taiping Sect disciples outside, "Got it." ”

When the disciples of the Taiping Sect retreated, Li Xuandu said to Zhang Haishi: "I didn't expect these three real people to arrive." ”

Zhang Haishi said with a smile: "This matter is promoted by the Great Heavenly Master Zhang Jingxiu, and the Qingwei Sect is also acquiescing, plus the Taiping Sect, the nominal deputy leader of the alliance, who dares not to give face to the rest of the Righteous Dao Sect? It just so happens that I am going with you to meet these three real people. ”

After that, the two brothers left Tianshui Pavilion and flew to the Taiping Sect.

When they came to Yuanping in front of the Taiping Palace, Mrs. Lu and Shen Yuanzhong were already waiting here, and the Yuanping Square was also full of disciples of the Taiping Sect. Not long after, under the personal guidance of Shen Yuanzhai, three Taoists came from the mountain road.

An old man in the center, with white hair and white beard, has already shown signs of yellowing and turning black, this is the appearance of longevity, needless to say, it is the oldest longevity real person in the rivers and lakes today, even half a generation higher than Zhang Jingxiu and others, only the old Tibetan can barely compare with it. On the same day, Zhang Jingxiu introduced this longevity real person to Shen Changsheng, and directly said that there was an ancestor in Shuzhou, which was worthy of the name.

On the left side of Wanshou Zhenren is a middle-aged Taoist who looks unconfused, with three strands of long hair, fairy wind bones, and faint wisps of purple gas in his eyes.

Needless to say, the person on the right side of Wanshou Zhenren is the Sanxuan Zhenren of Shenxiao Sect.

Seriously speaking, Li Xuandu and these three real people have had a little intersection, that day Li Xuandu and Li Taiyi were fighting swords in Wangxiantai, Taiwei Zhenren and his friend Zhang Chengxuan watched the battle offstage, and Zhang Chengxuan was the one who sold Qin Su's "Baihua Spiritual Face". Not to mention the Sanxuan Zhenren, Li Xuandu personally participated in the turmoil of the Wind and Thunder Sect, and the Sanxuan Zhenren also appeared that day, but at that time, Li Xuandu's realm had not recovered, and he couldn't see his true face. As for Wanshou Zhenren, Li Xuandu had indeed never seen it, but the "Five Poisons True Pill" he took was indeed refined by Wanshou Zhenren himself.

Two of the three real people have seen Li Xuandu, only Wanshou Zhenren has never seen it, but he is familiar with Zhang Haishi, Mrs. Lu is a woman, Shen Yuanzhong is too old, only Li Xuandu, a young man, naturally recognized it at a glance, this nearly 100-year-old old Taoist should be the first to speak: "Mr. Li, it will be your good day soon, and the poor road will be happy first." ”

Li Xuandu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I am entrusted by Mr. Shen Da to come to take charge of the Taiping Sect portal, and welcome the three real people on behalf of the Taiping Sect. ”

Taiwei Zhenren said with a smile: "Mr. Li is the sect leader of the Taiping Sect, this matter has been spread in the rivers and lakes, and the three of us have set a date to go to Fengyin Mansion to gather first, and then climb the mountain together to congratulate them." I thought we should be the first to arrive, but I didn't expect Mr. Haishi to arrive. ”

Zhang Haishi said with a smile: "It's wishful thinking that the real person wants to be the first to arrive, and it is the Bai Sect Master of the Cihang Sect who is earlier than Zhang Haishi." ”

Donghuazong and Qingweizong have been neighbors for many years, Zhang Haishi and Taiwei Zhenren are naturally old acquaintances, and Wanshou Zhenren is a year-old friend, as for Sanxuan Zhenren, they also have a friendship. After a polite greeting in a few words, Li Xuandu invited three real people into the Taiping Palace to talk.

Many disciples of the Taiping Sect did not expect that the face of the new sect master was so big, in addition to the Bai sect master of the Cihang Sect, there were three more sect masters who came to the door, if you add Zhang Haishi, who represents the Qingwei Sect and is not the sect master who is more like the sect master, it is the five sect masters. All the disciples were a little excited, after all, this was not yet a few days, and there were already so many big people who were rarely seen on weekdays, and on the day of the ascension ceremony, wouldn't it be necessary for the twelve sects to arrive? Taiping Sect has Taiping Inn and Taiping Money Village in various places, and there has been news back, saying that many disciples of Xuannu Sect have arrived in Huainan Mansion, and they want to be able to climb the mountain tomorrow, and even many evil people and Jianghu scattered people also gather in Huainan Mansion, this is a scene that has not been seen for many years, even if it is the wedding of the little heavenly master of Zhengyi Sect and Fairy Su of Cihang Sect not long ago, there is no such special encounter. At that moment, many young disciples had begun to privately argue whether the Jing Zen sect, which had been closed for a long time, would send people to come and truly assemble the twelve sects of the righteous path.

Seeing this scene, many disciples of the Taiping Sect who were resistant began to waver, secretly saying that since this acting sect master could be selected by the sect master and had the support of the Great Heavenly Master, he must have some ability. So many sect masters are willing to come to the door in person, of course, because of the Great Heavenly Master, but those three real people don't listen to the Great Heavenly Master's dispatch, and if they can come, it is the face of the Great Sword Immortal. The Great Heavenly Master plus the Great Sword Immortal, what a big face this is, even bigger than the sky.

Not long after the three of them arrived, there was a lonely climber, a short old man, shriveled and thin, with a sparse beard, a cigarette stick pinned to his waist, a jade mouth, an ebony rod, a brass pot, and a purse with tobacco leaves hanging on the other side.

The old man's eyes were burning, almost like a fine light was born, and he said that he had come to congratulate Li Gongzi on the orders of his master. The disciples of the Taiping Sect did not dare to slack off and reported to Li Xuandu.

Li Xuandu came out of the Taiping Palace, and after seeing this person, he was immediately startled and said, "You are the ...... of Jianxiu Mountain."

The old man grinned: "Yes, Xiao Lao'er is the mountain keeper of Jianxiu Mountain, I didn't expect Li Gongzi to remember Xiao Lao'er." ”

The many Taiping Sect disciples around listened to it a little foggy, and they didn't know what place Jianxiu Mountain was.

The old man swept away with a gaze that seemed to be substance, cleared his throat and said, "Little Lao'er is hereby ordered by my master to congratulate Li Gongzi. ”

A disciple of the Taiping Sect who was of the same generation as Li Xuandu hesitated for a moment and said, "Please use your name." ”

The old man glanced at him and said, "Little old man is insignificant. But the name of my master, you have to listen well, my master's surname is Xu, there is no ghost in the name, and the rivers and lakes are honored as the grandmaster of the earth's qi, do you know?"

As soon as these words came out, many Taiping Sect disciples screamed "ah".

It is not strange for the Great Heavenly Master to send people to congratulate him, and it is not uncommon for the Great Sword Immortal to send people to congratulate him, but the Earth Master actually sent someone to congratulate him, which is very unexpected. In this way, it is already the three immortal realms who congratulate together, and the last one is Taiyun, will he also send someone to congratulate him?

The old man continued: "My master said that he and Li Gongzi are old friends, and Li Gongzi was promoted to the acting sect master of the Taiping Sect, he should have come to congratulate him in person, but he was bound by mundane affairs and could not be separated, so Li Gongzi should not be blamed." ”
