At this time, the upstairs of Wanghai has already held a banquet, which is a reception banquet. Because there are many female guests, there are many inconveniences between men and women, so they are divided into two tables for men and women, and are covered by a screen.

On the man's side, they are all old acquaintances, so there is nothing to say. The key is that on the woman's side, there is a white embroidered dress, nominally speaking, she is the mother of the family, the elder, and the head of a sect, so after some humility, let her sit on the seat, and Li Feiyan, who is also an elder, and a serious parent, plus Shi Wuyue, there are three elders, Gu Yusheng, Qin Su, and Lu Yanbing are juniors. Now that Qin Su and Li Xuan have been married, then she and Gu Yusheng are concubines and Lu Yanbing's serious sister-in-law.

The reason why men and women are divided into two seats is also because the topics between men and women are not very different, and men always like to point out the country and talk about some national affairs, such as how the temple is going and how the Golden Horde is going to be warned. Women don't like to talk about the so-called big things in such private settings, they prefer to talk about the "little things". But it just so happened that none of these female guests had children, so they couldn't talk about their children, but fortunately, Gu Yusheng helped to reconcile the atmosphere, and talked about some fashionable clothes, jewelry styles, or the latest scripts, but they were also happy.

Speaking of these, few women are exempt from vulgarity, even the empress of the year and the current empress dowager Xie Pheasant. At that time, the empress once changed the Zhongshu Province to Fengge, the Menxia Province to Luantai, and changed the Ministry of Officials to the Heavenly Department, the Household Department to the Earth Department, the Ministry of Rites to the Spring Department, the Military Department to the Summer Department, the Criminal Department to the Autumn Department, and the Ministry of Industry to the Winter Department. Xie Pheasant once led the palace people in the palace to personally make rouge for their own use, and his superb skills can also be seen.

Just talking, he talked about a woman who didn't attend the table but couldn't get around, and seriously, she was the owner of this place. It is Li Daoxu's wife, Li Feiyan's biological sister, Li Xuandu and others' sister, Li Qingyun.

mentioned Li Qingyun, and the atmosphere suddenly cooled down.

No matter how delicate Gu Yusheng is, Li Qingyun is her mother-in-law after all, and she can't say anything, especially when Li Feiyan is present.

The sound was extinguished on the women's seat, and the men's seat, which was just a screen away, gradually quieted down. At the banquet, Li Xuandu and Li Yuanying each held wine glasses, maintaining a posture of not drinking, with a calm expression on their faces, so that people could not see any clues.

After a while, Li Xuandu put down the wine glass in his hand and said, "Speaking of which, it will be the death day of the master soon." ”

Li Yuanying also put down his wine glass and nodded slightly.

A reception feast dispersed in a hurry.

Li Xuandu and others lived in the Guanhai Building, lying down and listening to the sound of the night rain.

Strictly speaking, Guanhailou is not within the core scope of Qingwei Sect, and the core of Qingwei Sect is one hundred and eight islands headed by Penglai Island, so everyone in the world says Qingwei Sect in the East China Sea, and few people will say Qizhou Qingwei Sect. From this point of view, Guanhailou is actually on the periphery of Qingwei Sect, and many distinguished guests who want to go to Qingwei Sect will settle here, and there are some meaning of welcoming pavilions and sending off pavilions.

Early in the morning of the second day, the rain was slightly lighter, from a torrential rain to a continuous spring rain, like cow hair, like flower needles, like filaments, densely woven diagonally, making everything

The building was covered in a thin layer of smoke.

The disciples of the Qingwei Sect wore hats and robes, and the big people did not have to hold umbrellas by themselves, but they had people hold umbrellas for them, which was a special umbrella, enough to accommodate two or three people without being crowded, and guaranteed not to wet their clothes. The surface of the umbrella is dark yellow oiled paper, and when it is propped up, it looks like a huge piece of dead yellow leaves, and when viewed from above, it looks like a fallen leaf falling in the water wave, drifting all the way with the current.

Li Xuandu and the others are going to Penglai Island today and go to the Eight Scenery Courtyard, in addition to Li Daoxu waiting for them, there are also many hall masters and island masters of the Qingwei Sect.

Li Xuandu and the other guests did not have to take the boat when they came, because Li Daoxu had already sent his own boat, that is, the Bailonglou ship that had been moored at the pier of Penglai Island for many years, to show that he attached importance to this peace talks.

This is not the first time Qin Su has gone to Penglai Island, and it is not the first time she has seen Li Daoxu, but somehow, she is still a little unspeakably nervous, just like a bride meeting her in-laws. Qin Su originally wanted to find her best friend and future sister-in-law Lu Yanbing to explain, but she found that Lu Yanbing was more nervous than herself, so she could only extinguish this thought and become self-explanatory.

This is Lu Yanbing's old problem, for this master, she is always more afraid than respectful, that Penglai Island, for her, is like a tiger's den in Longtan, can she not go or not. And this time is different, the third senior brother and the fourth senior brother came together, no matter how you look at it, you won't laugh at it, then it is bound to be a dragon fight, she doesn't like these the most, especially she doesn't like to be in it. What's more, the last time the fourth senior brother went to see the master, she still remembered how much turmoil it caused.

With their own thoughts, everyone boarded the White Dragon Tower ship to Penglai Island.

When the White Dragon Tower ship arrived on Penglai Island, Li Xuan was taken aback, because he saw that his master Li Daoxu, who would not leave the Bajing Courtyard easily, had actually changed into a stone blue crane and greeted him in person.

Li Xuandu couldn't tell what his mood was, so he could only hurry off the boat, the master and apprentice looked at each other hand in hand, and no one spoke for a while. ”

Li Xuandu said softly: "Master is the same, everything is fine." ”

Li Daoxu smiled and said, "Let's go, go to the other courtyard." ”

Li Xuandu replied respectfully: "Yes." ”

In the eyes of outsiders, this is a drama of father's love and filial piety, but everyone else present understands that when it comes to the general trend and major interests, there is no father and son, let alone master and apprentice. Li Daoxu greeted him in person, and Li Xuan never took the initiative to greet him, all showing one thing, the two were talking on an equal footing, not like last time, it was Li Xuandu's unilateral request and advice.

This situation fell in the eyes of many old people of the Qingwei Sect who had experienced the era of Mr. Big and the "dispute between three and four", and they couldn't help but sigh lightly, Mr. Four still came to the step of Mr. Big, but it is not yet known whether he will follow in the footsteps of Mr. Big.

After arriving at the Bajing Courtyard, the guests led by Bai Xiushang and Qin Su officially greeted the old sword god, Li Daoxu's attitude was very peaceful, and there was no imaginary rejection of people thousands of miles away, which made Qin Su have

In a trance, is the old man in front of him still the big sword immortal who was angry and the heavens and the earth changed color, and destroyed the old man's dharma body with one sword?

Perhaps Qin Su's surprise was too superficial, and fell into Li Daoxu's eyes, Li Daoxu said to Qin Su after greeting everyone: "Why, Bai Juan blames me for not attending your marriage ceremony? If so, when you get married, I will definitely make up for it and buy you a generous gift." ”

Li Daoxu's tone was very peaceful, and even a little cordial and the kindness that the elders should have, for the people of the Qingwei Sect, this is extremely rare, and the normal old sect master should speak calmly and indifferently without sorrow or joy. And this is not the first time that Li Daoxu has been so kind to Qin Su, whether Li Xuan is a former outcast or today's Mr. Qingping, Qin Su has always enjoyed this honor, and it will not change because of the change of Li Xuandu's identity. It's just that I don't know if the reason why Li Daoxu is like this is because of the Qin family behind her, or because of her temperament, Li Daoxu is very satisfied.

This scene fell in Gu Yusheng's eyes, she was a little jealous, obviously she was the eldest daughter-in-law, but she had never enjoyed such an honor. It's just that she quickly suppressed this emotion, and her face never showed dissatisfaction.

Qin Su was a little flattered, and hurriedly said, "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

Li Daoxu smiled slightly and didn't say anything more.

After coming to the main hall and sitting down to greet each other, Li Daoxu and Li Xuan both seemed to have a tacit understanding, and neither of them took the initiative to mention the matter of the peace discussion, and then listened to Li Daoxu say: "Today is the death day of your master, since Zifu is back, let's go and see her together." ”

Li Xuandu immediately got up and responded: "I also have this intention." ”

Because it was related to the family affairs of the Li family, Bai Xiushang and others did not follow, only Li Daoxu, Li Daoshi, Li Feiyan, Zhang Haishi, Li Yuanying, Li Xuandu, Lu Yanbing, Li Taiyi, Gu Yusheng, Qin Su and others went.

Li Qingyun's tomb is also on Penglai Island, not far from the Eight Scenic Villas, by the mountains and rivers, the feng shui is excellent, and the regulation is very high, it is built according to the grade of the prince, in addition to the underground palace and the above-ground buildings, there are city walls and Shinto, the two city walls form the pattern of the inner and outer cities, the main Shinto is as long as fifty zhang, runs through the central axis of the inner city and the outer city, goes straight to the main hall, and there are various jade beasts placed on both sides of the Shinto, lifelike, not angry and mighty.

There are Tiankui Hall disciples who take turns to guard, and there are special people to clean them so that they are not stained with dust. The old sect master arrived, and the disciples of Tiankui Hall lined up to greet each other.

The group walked into the ground hall for future generations to worship, the hall was a little deserted and gloomy, Li Daoxu first put on a stick of incense, stood still with his hands, looked at the spirit of his deceased wife and groaned silently. The others started with Li Feiyan and came forward to worship in turn, Li Feiyan and Li Daoshi together, Li Yuanying and Gu Yusheng together, and the rest worshiped alone, and finally only Li Xuandu and Qin Su remained.

Li Xuandu took the initiative to hold Qin Su's hand and knelt on the cushion in front of the incense table in front of the spirit, Qin Su looked at the high spiritual position, and already understood the meaning of today's worship, so her heart was very sincere, not the slightest perfunctory. At the same time, she couldn't help but peek at Li Xuandu, only to feel that Li Xuandu's expression was very solemn.

In the end, Li Xuandu lit a stick of incense, chanted words in his mouth, and inserted it into the incense burner on the incense table.
