Bai Xiushang said with a smile: "It seems that you are old and young, and you have already passed the qi." ”

Li Xuandu said: "Didn't my father-in-law communicate with my mother-in-law?"

Bai Xiushang restrained his smile and said: "He mentioned something in his heart, saying that when he had to do so, he could join forces with Taiyun, which is also in line with the secret agreement made by the Great Heavenly Master and Taiyun in secret." ”

Xiao Shiyu heard Bai Xiushang mention this matter for the first time, although she was surprised, but she felt that it was reasonable, Bai Xiushang and Qin Qing were both at this age, and they had both apprentices and grandchildren, and they wanted to get married, naturally not because of the love of any children, let alone blind marriage, it was almost inevitable that there would be a connection, but she didn't understand Bai Xiushang's position, now she was a group of harmony, naturally everything was easy to say, but if there was a disagreement within the family one day, whose side would she stand on? Is it another in-law, Li Daoxu, or her husband Qin Qing, or her virtuous son-in-law Li Xuandu? In the past, Xiao Shiyu could be very sure of Zhang Jingxiu, but now she is a little unsure, it seems that Bai Xiushang has a connection with either party, and she is also surprised to find at this moment that Li Xuandu and Bai Xiushang are the same person, it seems that they are connected with all three parties, and they are not attached to any party, but they are faintly self-contained, and they want to turn three parts of the world into four parts of the world.

Xiao Shiyu couldn't help but have a bold idea, would Bai Xiushang bet on Li Xuandu, if the three masters insisted on compromising to find a sole successor, Li Xuandu was undoubtedly the best candidate, because he was Qin Qing's son-in-law, Li Daoxu's beloved apprentice, or the sect master of the Taiping Sect supported by Zhang Jingxiu, coupled with the support of Bai Xiushang and Zhang Haishi, Li Xuandu actually had the qualifications to win the Great Sect.

This idea made Xiao Shiyu startled, even more surprised than she learned that Song Zheng might be in the immortal realm, she couldn't help but look at Li Xuandu, her heart was complicated, could it be that this young man was going to become the first great master of the Dao Sect after the reunification? This idea seems to be a bit absurd, but after careful consideration, it is not impossible to do so. First of all, Zhang Jingxiu and Li Daoxu are already very old, and when they die, Li Xuandu is still in the prime of life, even the youngest Qin Qing is much older than Li Xuandu, and Qin Su is Qin Qing's only daughter, and his son-in-law is half a son, at this time, Qin Qing, who has not been alive for a long time, has no reason to compete with Li Xuandu. Then there are only two things that Li Xuan needs to do, one is to enter the immortal realm as soon as possible, which is the most basic condition for commanding the Daomen, and the other is to wait patiently, and when Zhang Jingxiu and Li Daoxu pass away one after another, then the position of the Great Sect Leader is in his pocket.

Xiao Shiyu was a little emotional. People like Song Zheng, who climbed up step by step from the bottom, want to succeed, it is too difficult. And if Li Xuandu wants to succeed, it will be much simpler, what is the key? It is the family background, if Li Xuandu is not Li Daoxu's disciple, Zhang Jingxiu will not value him, and he will not strive to let him be the middle man of this peacemaker, if Li Xuandu is not surnamed Li, it will not be so easy to obtain the approval of the head of the Qin family. Pushing it further, Zhang Jingxiu and Qin Qing, which one didn't take advantage of their respective family backgrounds? As soon as they stepped together, they were much higher than others. Even Li Daoxu was in the early years. Of course, even her Xiao Shiyu was born in the Xiao family, even if she has been defeated, she is also a family, and with this surname, others will look up to you.

But then again, Li Xuan is an outlier, he has a family background that others can't match, but what he does deviates from his family background, which is diametrically opposed to Song Zheng. Song Zheng jumped out of the mud pond and walked on

After the clouds, what he did was even worse than that of the people, but Li Xuandu stood on the clouds from the beginning, he could go further many years ago, but he would rather take it in the straight than ask for it in the song, and now what he asks for will finally fall on the mud pond.

It can be seen that the path taken by a person has a certain relationship with his birth, but it is not absolute.

Next, Bai Xiushang asked a few more questions about Qin Su's situation, Xiao Shiyu answered them one by one, and then the three of them talked about the changes in the Great Bao'en Temple, and it can almost be concluded that it was done by people in Confucianism, and among the various sects, there are also many half-hearted people, such as Zuo Yuhan, the sect leader of the Faxiang Sect, who now doesn't know where to go, although Wu Zhen has been firmly supporting Zhang Jingxiu in the past many years, and Bai Xiushang is Zhang Jingxiu's right-hand man, but this time the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism is not something that Li Xuandu can resolve with a few words, he still swayed。 Wuzhen's attitude is ambiguous, not only the Vajra Sect, but also the Shingon Sect will also produce variables. It is easy for Li Xuandu to suppress a Yuanjue, and it is not difficult to suppress the Jing Zen Sect, which has already existed in name only, but it is not enough to suppress the enlightenment of the Vajra Sect and the Shingon Sect behind it, and it has nothing to do with realm cultivation, but the situation. The more times like this, the more you want friends, the better, and enlist the support of others instead of pushing potential friends away.

After listening to this, Xiao Shiyu said: "Our side is still so difficult, and Li Daoxu's side is even more conceivable, I don't know how many difficulties and obstacles there are, and Zifu is the most difficult." ”

Li Xuandu said: "I expected it, but the key is the family teacher, as long as the family teacher nods in approval and is determined to implement this peace conference like the Great Heavenly Master, then there will be no difficulties and obstacles, only a smooth road." ”

"Zifu's words are extremely true. Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door, and then an old man in an apricot yellow robe walked into the room with a little wind and rain, and it was Zhang Jingxiu who arrived.

At this time, everyone in the room got up to greet each other, Zhang Jingxiu waved his hand, signaling that everyone did not need to be formal, and looked at Li Xuandu, "Master Huzen, dead." ”

Li Xuandu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "It's a pity that the culprit behind the scenes, Qinghe Jushi, has fled, and the remaining six hermits may not give up." ”

Zhang Jingxiu said: "Not necessarily, but there is one more thing at the moment, which is related to the unification of the Daomen, and I want Zifu to do it as soon as possible." ”

Li Xuandu said with a straight face: "Great Heavenly Master, please speak." ”

Zhang Jingxiu said: "The Three Xuanbang, it has always been the Taiping Sect in charge, and now that Mr. Shen Da is not here, this burden has to be borne by you, among them, the Shaoxuan List can be left alone for the time being, just arrange it in a row, the old Xuanbang can add two people as appropriate, the key is the Taixuan Bang, which is the top priority." ”

Li Xuandu asked, "I don't know what the Great Heavenly Master means?"

Zhang Jingxiu said: "The meaning of the poor Tao is to put those who were not on the list in the past together, don't let them continue to hide, and tell the world, but there is one point, don't involve the people in the Confucian sect, only in the rivers and lakes, only limited to the candidates of Buddhism and Taoism." ”

Li Xuandu nodded, "I understand." ”

Then Li Xuandu took out a list from the "Eighteenth Floor" and said: "Regarding the rearrangement of the Taixuan List, I have already prepared, this is my preliminary candidate, and it has not yet been ranked, please preview it by the Great Heavenly Master." ”

Zhang Jingxiu took the list and glanced at it, they were: Zhang Haishi, Zhang Jingshen, Bai Xiushang, Wang Tianxiao, Jitianwang, Tang Zhou, Wuzhen, Li Yuanying, Li Xuandu,

Shangguan Guan.

It can be clearly seen from the ink that Shangguan Guan was just added by Li Xuandu, and Qin Qing has been removed from this list by Li Xuandu, and the old Tibetan man who was suppressed into the Demon Suppression Well and Mr. Shen Da, who was punished by heaven and suffered great damage, are not on it.

Zhang Jingxiu didn't rush to express his opinion, but handed the list to Xiao Shiyu and Bai Xiushang first, "Please take a look at the two sect masters as well." ”

Bai Xiushang took the list, read it with Xiao Shiyu, and said, "Very pertinent." ”

Zhang Jingxiu nodded and looked at Li Xuandu, "The key is how to rank, what does Zifu think?"

Li Xuandu said: "The ten people on this list, except for Tang Zhou, I have all been in contact with, and even fought directly, so I think that Sect Master Bai should be the first person after the 'Heavenly Sword' left the Taixuan List, and Sect Master Bai is the second person on the list, and it is reasonable to fill the top position on the list." ”

Bai Xiushang smiled slightly, and said softly: "Is Zifu thinking about it again?"

Zhang Jingxiu said: "Don't think about it anymore, Poor Dao also thinks it's very appropriate, that day in Shangqing County, the person who was defeated was Wang Tianxiao, not Sect Master Bai." After that, Sect Master Bai even fought against the old man of Tibet, the earth master Xu Wugui, you, the first person on the Taixuan List after Qin Qing, deserved it. ”

Now that Zhang Jingxiu has already spoken, Bai Xiusheng is not good to shirk again, and acquiesces.

Li Xuan didn't continue to talk about the second person, but said: "There is a head and a tail, my mother-in-law is the first person, and my third senior brother is the tenth person, that is, my position back then." He does have some skills and means, as well as 'Emperor Ying' and 'Wuxiang Sword', so I included him in the Taixuan List, but his realm is not enough to be the biggest shortcoming, and the time to set foot in the immeasurable realm of heaven and man is too short, so he can only be the tenth person. ”

Zhang Jingxiu and Bai Xiushang both nodded in approval.

Li Xuandu said: "The next eight positions are difficult to arrange, and it is difficult to convince the public, so we will uphold the order from easy to difficult, I will first say the ninth and eighth people, I think it should be Tang Zhou and Master Wuzhen, but who is up and down between the two of them, I am a little uncertain." ”

Bai Xiushang and Xiao Shiyu both looked at Zhang Jingxiu, Zhang Jingxiu knew that this answer could only be answered by himself, and after a moment of silence, he said: "These two people and Zhang Haishi have both stayed in the Heavenly and Human Immeasurable Realm for many years, and they are the best in this realm, and now that Zhang Haishi has set foot in the Heavenly Man-made Realm, then the two of them are also very likely to set foot in the Heavenly Man-made Realm." Comparing only the two, Wu Zhen is deeply hidden and cannot be underestimated, so Wu Zhen should be the eighth, and Tang Zhou is the ninth. ”

Li Xuandu nodded in approval, and said: "Next is the seventh, from here on, it is a group of Heavenly Man-made Transformation Realm masters, the weakest of which is Shangguan Guan, the Earth Master gave my inner demon to Shangguan Guan, although Shangguan Guan has learned from me, and has practiced the 'Taiyin Thirteen Swords', and set foot in the Heavenly Man-made Transformation Realm, but the time is still short, and it has not been fully integrated, and it is the seventh person." Not long ago in the Taiping Sect, I defeated Sect Master Zhang, so I let Sect Master Zhang be the sixth person, and I was the fifth person. ”

Zhang Jingxiu said: "What the Purple Mansion can't be sure of is the second, third and fourth people, that is, the level between Zhang Haishi, Wang Tianxiao, and Jitianwang. ”

Li Xuandu nodded, "Exactly, please also ask the Great Heavenly Master for advice." ”

Zhang Jingxiu smiled, "Zifu is too modest, since Zifu has decided to put himself in the middle, Poor Dao has no choice but to recognize it, as for the ranking of these three people, let it be handed over to Poor Dao." ”
