Chapter Seventy-Two: Love
Li Xuandu turned back to the original topic, "Senior Brother Fang Caiyuan Zhen said that the earth master is also a guest of the Lady Sect?"
Ji Shuye nodded and said, "To be precise, it was, and it was very early. Mrs. Leng is not the suzerain of the Maiden Sect, and the earth master is not the earth master, but the king of Qi. In my early years, I didn't know that the earth master was the king of Qi, and I was puzzled until the identity of the earth master was revealed, and I figured out the cause and effect."
Li Xuandu's face was a little strange, "Could it be that Mrs. Leng was the princess of Qi back then?"
"Probably not. Ji Shuye shook his head and said: "It should be the side concubine, the lover and the like, the position of the princess is too conspicuous, and the relationship between King Qi and the emperors of Shizong and Muzong is not harmonious, the princess is easy to expose her identity, and it is easy to be involved in the royal battle, if one is accidentally deposed and imprisoned, the hard work of the Lady Sect will be in vain, so I speculate that Mrs. Leng will be in a relatively less conspicuous position." β
Li Xuandu said: "If you speculate from this, at the beginning, Mrs. Leng, like many disciples of the Lady Sect, was ordered to lurk beside the King of Qi, waiting for the opportunity to move, and using the King of Qi, but I didn't expect that after the King of Qi turned into the rivers and lakes, he ascended step by step, first becoming the sect master of the Yin Yang Sect, and then becoming the earth master. The relationship between the two has gradually changed from utilization to cooperation, and then to Mrs. Leng's complete dependence on the earth master. Because of this, the Earth Master will help Lady Leng become the sect master of the Maiden Sect. In this process, the identity of the earth master has also changed from the great guest of the Lady Sect to the Taoist companion of the sect master of the Lady Sect and the behind-the-scenes master of the Lady Sect. β
Ji Shuye nodded and said, "It should be like this." β
Li Xuandu looked at Ji Shuye, "I'm becoming more and more curious, who made Senior Brother Yuanzhen fall into the quagmire, and told Senior Brother Yuanzhen so many secrets of the Maiden Sect. β
Uncle Ji was silent all night.
Li Xuandu stared at Uncle Ji for a moment before retracting his gaze, "I understand, the quagmire is the woman herself." In other words, it's not just Senior Brother Yuanzhen who is stuck in the quagmire alone, but the two of you who are stuck in the quagmire together, which is why you are so deep that you can't extricate yourself. β
Uncle Ji raised his head at night, a little surprised, and a little panicked after being seen through his heart, "Purple ......"
He immediately shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Qingping deserves to be Mr. Qingping." β
Li Xuandu sighed lightly, "If it weren't for that, I really can't think of the reason why that woman would tell so many secrets, and I can't think of a reason why Wanshou Zhenren would continue to tolerate Senior Brother." β
Uncle Ji was in a trance and muttered, "Master, his old man...... It's my unfilial piety as a disciple. β
Li Xuandu suddenly remembered his master Li Daoxu, if this kind of thing happened to him, what would the master do? Thinking of this, Li Xuandu couldn't help but smile bitterly, unwilling to think about it further.
Li Xuandu turned his thoughts back to the Lady Sect, and at this time he could already conclude that the disciple of the Lady Sect who was on good terms with Uncle Ji had almost betrayed the Lady Sect, and even had a certain degree of recognition from Wanshou Zhenren, so after Ji Shuye mentioned the Lady Sect, he only hesitated a little, and then told him about the Lady Sect. I think that this matter has also caused turmoil before, and the final result is that some kind of compromise has been reached between Ji Shuye, Wanshou Zhenren, and the women of the Mainu Sect, and the women of the Maiden Sect have betrayed the Maiden
Zong, Ji Shuye gave up the position of sect master to maintain the reputation of the master, and Wanshou Zhenren recognized the identity of the woman of the Lady Sect and the relationship between the two husband and wife.
After a long while, Ji Shuye adjusted his emotions and continued: "My Taoist companion is one of the twelve female officials of the Lady Sect, and the female officials do not know each other's identities, but according to her speculation, one female official went to the imperial capital, one female official went to Jinling Mansion, and one female official went to Liaodong. β
"Liaodong?" Li Xuandu raised his eyebrows and thought about it seriously, but he didn't have a clue. As for the imperial capital, Li Xuandu was worried about Li Ruyi, who went to the imperial capital alone, there has been no news for so long, I don't know if he has successfully met Murong Hua, the dragon and the tiger are in the imperial capital, and the fish and dragons are mixed, it is really not a good place, seriously speaking, Li Ruyi's situation may not be much safer than Pei Yu and Su Lianrong.
Li Xuandu's thoughts suddenly became complicated, there are two capitals and nineteen states in the world, Li Xuandu thinks that there are two stubborn diseases, one is the imperial capital where the "head" is located, and the other is the northwest where the "legs and feet" are located, the northwest and Liaodong are like the two legs of the world, supporting the whole world, now Liaodong is still a good leg, but the northwest has become a sick leg, and the disease has spread all the way to Zhongzhou, Jiangnan and other places where the "heart" is located. But if you want to cure such stubborn diseases, you have to solve the five sects in the northwest, the Wudao Sect and the Soap Pavilion Sect are the symptoms on the bright side, while the Yin Yang Sect and the Maiden Sect are sick in the body, and you have to cut the epidermis to see it, and even more, you have to cut the flesh and blood to see it. Thinking of this, Li Xuandu deeply felt that his strength was insufficient, and he had to integrate the Dao Sect as soon as possible, and with the help of the power of the Dao Sect, he could completely eradicate it.
Heavy responsibilities.
Li Xuandu retracted his thoughts and asked, "Senior Brother Yuanzhen, according to your speculation, will there be people from the Lady Sect in the Tang Family Fort?"
......
There are a total of four Shangqing Palaces in the world, which are located in Jinao Peak, Taiqing Mountain, Donghua Sect, Langya Mansion, Qizhou, Qionglin Peak, Yunjin Mountain, Zhengyi Sect, Shangqing Mansion, Wuzhou, Qingcheng Peak, Tiancang Mountain, Miaozhen Sect, Jianmen Mansion, Shuzhou, and Cuiyun Peak, Beibi Mountain, Yin and Yang Sect, Zhongzhou Longmen Mansion.
This Shangqing Palace in Tiancang Mountain is the residence of the suzerain of the Miaozhen Sect of the past dynasties, and it is also the retreat place of Wanshou Zhenren today.
As Song Zheng said, if there is no hope of immortality in the prime of life, then after old age, the qi and blood are weakened, and the ambition is fading, and it is difficult to achieve immortality again. Wanshou Zhenren naturally understands this truth, so his retreat is not for intensive cultivation, but for the purpose of warming the body and soul, and having the subtlety of prolonging life, which is also the reason why he is called Wanshou Zhenren. Another point is that there is also a desire to hide from Qingjing.
For him, since the change in the imperial capital, state affairs have been unbearable. But the family affairs are not good there, and they are also unbearable. He is already a ninety-year-old man, since the accident between the Extreme Heavenly King and the old man Tibet, there are very few people of his generation, and even many of his disciples have left him first, he really doesn't have the strength to clean up and down, he can only barely maintain.
Now he has a little disciple left, and he is also his favorite disciple, who has been intelligent and different from ordinary people since he was a child, and is well-behaved and sensible, and is a person who makes Wanshou real people worry-free. But Wanshou Zhenren never expected that the disciple who had made him worry for half his life, once he didn't worry, it would be a catastrophe that shook the foundation of the sect. true
It can be said that if it is not a hit, it has been a blockbuster.
He has seen a lot more about the methods of the Lady Sect, relying on women to control temple officials and people in the rivers and lakes, and infiltrating into various sects, but he didn't expect that his disciples would also fall for the calculations of the Lady Sect.
At that time, he already had the idea of passing on the position of suzerain to Ji Shuye, so many of the outings were served by Ji Shuye, and during Ji Shuye's time when he left the mountain gate once, he "inadvertently" saved a woman, and under various coincidences, they fell in love with each other and fell in love. By the time Wanshou Zhenren learned about this, the two had already made a decision, and Ji Shuye had already become the master of a sect at that time. What made Wanshou Zhenren even more angry was that he was not the first to learn about it, but someone reported it to him after knowing about it. Wanshou Zhenren's mood at that time was extremely complicated, not only was he saddened that the disciple he had taught and cultivated had violated the iron laws of the sect, but also lamented that this disciple didn't even understand the truth that if he didn't keep secrets, he would lose his body.
In the end, in order to prevent someone from making a big fuss about this matter, Wanshou Zhenren decisively deposed Ji Shuye's position as the suzerain and imprisoned him. It's just that out of Wanshou Zhenren's expectations, the disciple of the Maiden Sect actually came to the Miaozhen Sect in disguise to ask to see him, and let him be disposed of, just begging Wanshou Zhenren to let Uncle Ji go.
The next thing has become a drama of Qing officials who are difficult to decide family affairs, Wanshou Zhenren has the intention to kill this bane, but he thinks that he only has the last disciple left, from a three-year-old boy watching him grow up, he has always been treated as a son, even closer than his own son, and in the end he still failed to be ruthless and acquiesced in the matter.
However, in order to relieve Wanshou Zhenren's suspicions, the woman not only revealed many secrets of the Maiden Sect, but also abandoned her cultivation in front of Wanshou Zhenren, from a master of the True Realm to a weak woman who was powerless.
Later, whenever Wanshou Zhenren thought of this, he would be upset and angry with his disciple's failure, but he thought about it again, and it was good to not succeed. When Li Daoxu visited Miaozhenzong, the second disciple Zhang Haishi and Wanshou Zhenren became old friends, Zhang Haishi often visited Miaozhenzong, and would also mention some things about Qingwei Sect with Wanshou Zhenren, in the eyes of Wanshou Zhenren, Li Daoxu's disciples are enough to become a weapon, but brothers are not brothers, fathers and sons are not fathers and sons, brothers are opposed, and master and apprentice are opposed, which may not be a blessing.
After figuring out this, Wanshou Zhenren also recognized the relationship between the two, but the woman was afraid that her longevity would not last long because of the fundamental injury caused by her self-abandonment, and Uncle Ji was worried about her day and night, and her heart was haggard, and she wanted to ask the master to teach her the method of prolonging her life, Wanshou Zhenren had to give birth to three points of anger every time, it can be seen that the apprentice has no intention of repenting, he is simply out of sight and out of mind, as for his longevity secret method, he has already said bluntly to the two of them, you can't cultivate unless you are a child, and the two of you have Yin and Yang combined, but there is no reason for this methodγ
At this moment, the only female disciple among Ji Shuye's many disciples came to his retreat, this girl has a lively temperament, and is very favored in the Miaozhen Sect, even Wanshou Zhenren is no exception, so she is one of the few people who can freely enter and leave the Shangqing Palace, anyway, Wanshou Zhenren's retreat is not afraid of being disturbed.
I heard the woman say excitedly: "Master, Master, I have seen Mr. Qingping, and I am talking to Master." β
