Chapter 37: The Second Peace Talks

When asking this, Li Xuandu also thought about it a few times: "The Great Heavenly Master told me these secrets of the Qingwei Sect, I am afraid that it is not without a purpose, but with a meaning. If a person who has nothing to do with the Taiping Sect is allowed to go to the Taiping Sect to serve as the acting suzerain, the Taiping Sect will inevitably be dissatisfied, and there will be many discussions in the rivers and lakes. But if the Qingwei Sect and the Taiping Sect are in the same vein as the Taiping Dao, I was a disciple of the Qingwei Sect, but I have something to do with the Taiping Sect. Just like Emperor Wuzong's absolute heir, Emperor Sejong, as the cousin of Emperor Wuzong, succeeded to the throne with a side sect. Starting from the side of Taiping Dao, Mr. Shen and I can be regarded as the same sect, and my entry into the Taiping Sect is like Emperor Sejong's entry into the unification with a side sect, and there are legal principles to follow. The Great Heavenly Master specially pointed out this matter, and he should support me as the acting sect master of the Taiping Sect. ”

Thinking of this, Li Xuandu's mind was a little fixed, he was not a gentleman, since he wanted to realize his ambitions, what he lacked most was all kinds of help, at this time, with the excellent help of Taiping Sect in front of him, of course he had to firmly grasp it, and even take the initiative to forge ahead, instead of retreating in every way. As for the thoughts of the Great Heavenly Master, it is not difficult to guess. If he can help Li Xuandu ascend to the position of the acting sect leader of the Taiping Sect, Li Xuandu must be grateful for his kindness, plus Li Xuandu and Li Daoxu fell out, most of them are on the side of Zhengyizong, after all, Li Xuandu is no longer an insignificant pawn.

At this moment, the childish boy said: "Among the righteous paths, the Zhengyi sect is the head, and it has been recognized by everyone for hundreds of years. The second time of the Zhengyi Sect is the Qingwei Sect. It is followed by the Taiping Sect, the Cihang Sect, and the Jing Zen Sect. Mr. Li was born in the Qingwei Sect, and should know that the establishment and rise of a sect is a process of hundreds or even thousands of years, and dozens of generations have spent immeasurable efforts and efforts to accumulate, and it is by no means an overnight achievement. The evil path is also about the same, the Wudao Sect and the Mending Heaven Sect are two evergreen trees, and they have not declined, but nearly two hundred years ago, the overlord of the evil path was the Soap Pavilion Sect. The rise of the Yin Yang Sect in the rivers and lakes is only a matter of nearly a hundred years, although it has flourished quickly, but the background is not as good as the Wudao Sect and the Mending Heaven Sect, not to mention our many righteous sects. ”

Li Xuandu nodded yes.

The childish fairy tale turned around: "It's just that the Yin and Yang Sect is the Yin and Yang Sect, and the Earth Master is the Earth Master, it can't be generalized, in addition to directly controlling the Yin and Yang Sect, the Earth Master also indirectly controls the Yin and Yang Sect, the Soap Pavilion Sect, and the parts of the Dao Sect and the Dao Seed Sect, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the master of the five sects of the Evil Dao." Since ancient times, there has been no shortage of people on the rivers and lakes who are extremely resourceful and have a high realm, who have made a name for themselves in the rivers and lakes, made a name for themselves, and dominated for a while. It's just that no one can subdue the major sects in the world by themselves. So the earth master took this as a lesson to support the Soap Pavilion Sect, win over the Maiden Sect, and infiltrate the Wudao Sect, in order to integrate the five sects in the northwest, which was the first step. The second step is to merge the five sects in the northwest and the five sects in Liaodong into one, and all of them will obey his orders. After the ten sects were brought into one, the strength was even greater than that of the Soap Pavilion Sect back then. After that, there is the third step, he will provoke the righteous path, not a small fight like today's surprise attack on the Dazhen Mansion, nor is it a gentleman's dispute like the Jade Void Sword, but a battle between good and evil that you live and die and do everything to swallow up all the twelve sects of the righteous path, he is the master of the Daomen, the lord of the rivers and lakes. Finally, the fourth step, with the power of the rivers and lakes, poured into the temple, changed the day, and at that time, it was the underground of the world, and I was the only one. ”

Li Xuandu suppressed the fear in his heart and said, "The previous change in Xijing was the first step of the Earth Master's intention to integrate the five sects in the Northwest, but now that it has failed, what will the Earth Master do next?"

The childish boy said: "Although the earth master failed, he really did not hurt his vitality, which can be seen from this sneak attack on the Dazhen Mansion." As long as you find an opportunity, you may not be able to attack Taiyun again. This kind of power struggle does not necessarily depend on the level of the realm, no matter how high your realm is, it can only make people afraid of you and fear you, which is domineering rather than kingly. The emperor is not the first person in the world, why can he say, 'All the heroes of the world are in my world'?"

Li Xuandu said: "Learn to become a literary and martial artist, and the goods are with the emperor's family." When the world is peaceful, the court can give a lot of fame and fortune, so all the masters work for the court. Now in troubled times, the court is declining, and there is less fame and fortune that can be given, so there are fewer people who serve the court. If there is no common idea, after all, it is still necessary to promise benefits, or real gold and silver money, or to make a wish for an official. ”

It seems that Mr. Li knows this well. The childish boy smiled: "No matter how big the master is, it is impossible to gather so many masters, let alone feed them." Then there is only one way, that is, to promise in the future, as long as the great cause can be accomplished, the earth master becomes the emperor, and the people who follow him are naturally princes and generals. At that time, the family business of Zhengyi Sect and Qingwei Sect was used by the earth master to reward meritorious deeds, whether it was the ancestors or the foundation, the immeasurable efforts of countless ancestors were all in vain. Mr. Li, you and my generation, endure the deeds of our ancestors and waste them?"

Li Xuandu whispered to himself: "Heaven and earth, I am the only one. ”

The child said, "Exactly." At that time, I was afraid that after he became the emperor, he still wanted to survive the earth immortal catastrophe and stay in the world for a long time, which was a lack of people's hearts. This has been the case since ancient times. Even if they are heroes and heroes, few people can escape this trap. Because of this, we don't talk about the common people in the world, just for self-preservation, and we also want to stop the earth master. ”

Li Xuandu agreed, "What the Great Heavenly Master said is extremely true, at the smallest, it is for the foundation of the ancestors, and at the largest, it is to avoid murderous opportunities in the world. It's just that the younger generation has a low realm and shallow qualifications, so I'm afraid that it will be difficult to be of great use, so I can only follow the teachings of the Great Heavenly Master. ”

"Mr. Li is too modest. The childish boy waved his hand and said: "If you want to fight against the Earth Master, you have to join forces with the Qingwei Sect, but the prejudice between the Zhengyi Sect and the Qingwei Sect is deep, and an intermediary is needed between the two sects." ”

Li Xuandu said: "The Great Heavenly Master should know that the last time I returned to the Qingwei Sect and made a statement to the master, I almost fell into a charge of communicating with foreign enemies, and was finally expelled from the Qingwei Sect. ”

The childish boy said: "Master and apprentice, father and son, monarch and minister, the elder and the young are different, and the respect and inferiority are orderly. Confucian people often say that there are no parents in the world, and there are no monarchs. When you face your master as an apprentice, your father as a son, and the king as a courtier, you are naturally morally weak, and you are right and wrong. Therefore, you can't advise as a disciple, but you have to meet Brother Li Dao as a friend. ”

Li Xuandu had already understood what the child meant, but he didn't finish his words, and did not delve into this topic, and instead said: "The Great Heavenly Master defeated the Earth Master in the matter of White Emperor City, and the Earth Master turned around and attacked the Great True Man's Mansion again. So it came and went, and it was a tie. This is nothing, but the rivers and lakes don't know the inside story of the White Emperor City, and the ignorant people will inevitably say: 'The Earth Master is better than the Great Heavenly Master.' Even though we know the inside story, but after this battle, the name of the earth master is Dasheng, and it is said that the Yuan Sage spits out the world and returns to the heart, and ordinary people in the rivers and lakes don't care about what righteous and evil ways you have, let alone the righteousness of the common people, fear of power but not virtue, which side of the wind and stool falls, and whoever is stronger will follow whom. ”

The childish boy nodded and said, "What Mr. Li said is not unreasonable. This is also the intention of the poor Dao to consult with Mr. Li, the top priority is to fight back against the earth master, so that the people in the rivers and lakes know that the righteous way has never been afraid of the evil way, and the heavenly master is not weaker than the earth master. However, with the power of the Zhengyi Sect alone, if you want to counterattack the Earth Division, it is not possible to talk about nine out of ten, and it is still risky. ”

Li Xuandu understood in his heart, going around and around, and going back to the original point, the topic of Qingwei Sect could not be bypassed.

Li Xuandu sighed lightly: "Since the Great Heavenly Master has promoted the younger generation like this, the younger generation is responsible for it, so please ask the Great Heavenly Master to speak up." ”
