From Jinling Mansion to Qizhou, to be precise, there are three ways to go to the one hundred and eight islands where Qingweizong is located. One is by land, that is, through the provinces of Luzhou and Qizhou, one is by water, which is by boat through the Grand Canal, and the other is by sea, which goes directly to the sea from the port of Jinlingfu.

Li Xuandu returned to Qingweizong last time, disguised himself, followed the Qian family's caravan, and took the Grand Canal waterway. This time, he didn't want to go by water again, and planned to take the sea route instead.

The reason for this decision is that when he and Qin Su went to Chuzhou from Liaodong, they took Qin Su's boat by sea, and after they landed and went to Taiping Sect by land, Qin Su's boat set off on its own to Jinling Mansion to dock, while Li Xuandu and others took Taiping Sect's boat to Jinling Mansion. After the Jinling Mansion was finished, Li Xuandu was going to Qingwei Sect to meet his old teacher, but this time he was not alone like last time, not to mention Qin Su and others, even the other entourage was not a few, so Qin Su's boat was more convenient.

Li Xuandu's return to Qingwei Sect this time is of great significance and unusual, it is not a matter of Li Xuandu alone, not even a matter of Qingwei Sect, it is a major event involving the righteous path, Taoism, rivers and lakes, and even the general trend of the world, Li Xuandu's identity is no longer the previous Mr. Qingwei Sect, but the sect master of Taiping Sect, and it is also a person between Zhang Jingxiu and Li Daoxu.

This has to be reminiscent of the old story of Situ Xuance, who befriended the five sects of Liaodong and advocated peace talks between the Qingwei Sect and the Zhengyi Sect. This move won the heart of the Great Heavenly Master Zhang Jingxiu, so he invited Situ Xuance to go to the Great True Mansion. Situ Xuance was invited to Yunjin Mountain, and the great heavenly master Zhang Jingxiu interviewed for several days, and reached the first peace agreement between the two sects, when Situ Xuance left Yunjin Mountain, Zhang Jingxiu personally sent to Shangqing Town, Zhang Jingshen led Zhang Yueshan, Zhang Luanshan, Zhang Daishan and others to send another thirty miles before turning back. It's just that no one would have thought that on the way back to Qizhou from Wuzhou, Situ Xuance was ambushed, Rao is Situ Xuance has already entered the realm of creation, but he is still outnumbered, and he fled back to the East China Sea with serious injuries, and he is already dying and dying soon.

This time, of course, Li Xuandu could not be allowed to repeat the mistakes of Situ Xuance, so Zhang Jingxiu prepared a large number of entourages for Li Xuandu, including Bai Xiushang, the sect master of Cihang Sect, that is, the first person on the Taixuan List today, Zhang Jingxiu could not go in person, Li Xuandu represented the middleman, so Zhang Jingxiu also sent his personal representative, who was also Li Xuandu's old friend, Zhang Luanshan, who had just returned from Xijing. In order to ensure Zhang Luanshan's safety, Li Xuandu deliberately let Ning Yi go to the northwest and personally escorted Zhang Luanshan back to Jinling Mansion.

Li Xuandu arrived at Jinling Mansion on the sixth day of the second month and settled in the courtyard of the Qian family. On the seventh day of February, he visited Bai Xiushang and encountered a sneak attack from Shangguanguan, and on the same day, Li Xuandu went to visit Yan Feiqing again. On the eighth day of the second lunar month, the Great Heavenly Master Zhang Jingxiu arrived at Jinling Mansion alone, one day earlier than the scheduled date, and went to see Yan Feiqing first. On the ninth day of the second month, the sect masters of the righteous path arrived at Jinling Mansion, and at the same time, the Qinghe monks moved the people to surround the former courtyard, Qian Qingbai discussed with all parties, and changed the meeting place of Li Xuandu and Zhang Jingxiu to Dabao'en Temple. On the tenth day of the first month of February, Li Xuandu and Zhang Jingxiu officially met in Dabao'en Temple, many things happened on this day, the Tiger Zen Master died, and the Qinghe monk fled with Shangguanguan, that is, on this day, Li Xuandu and Zhang Jingxiu agreed on a new Taixuan list.

On February 11, Qin Su woke up, and Li Xuan handed over the Taixuan List to Sikong Zao, who returned to the Taiping Sect. Two days later, on February 13, the Taiping Sect officially distributed the new Three Xuanbang. On February 14, at the order of Li Xuandu, Li Ru secretly arrived at Jinling Mansion. On February 15, Zhang Luanshan, accompanied by the "Blood Knife" Ning Yi, rushed to Jinling Mansion, accompanied by Shi Wuyue, but this was Li Xuandu's own team.

At this time, Li Xuan will not open all his hole cards, but it is not the time to hide them. While continuing to lay out, he could not interrupt it, but he also had to ensure the safety of his "veteran".

Xiao Shiyu will personally see off Li Xuandu, which means that Xiao Shiyu and Shi Wuyue will meet again.

On the other side, Zhang Haishi will greet Li Xuandu halfway with Donghuazong's Taiwei Zhenren and Li Feiyan, and Li Yuanying will wait for Li Xuandu and others with his wife Gu Yusheng in Wanghai Tower.

The righteous people occupy six seats on the Taixuan List, this time, in addition to Wuzhen and Zhang Jingshen, four masters of the Taixuan List were dispatched, even if one more Li Yuanying is removed, there are three of them, and they are all among the top five, and if they want to assassinate Li Xuandu like assassinating Situ Xuance, I am afraid that it will be difficult to do it, even if the remaining six hermits are all together, even if the two immortal immortals do not make a move, it is not easy to succeed. But everyone knows that whether it is Zhang Jingxiu who stayed in Jinling Mansion or Li Daoxu, who has been dormant on Penglai Island, they will always pay attention.

On February 17th, it was the day when Li Xuandu and others boarded the ship from Jinling Mansion and went to sea, Xiao Shiyu saw off Zhang Jingxiu on behalf of him, Li Xuandu wanted to take this opportunity to resolve the misunderstanding between Shi Wuyue and Xiao Shiyu, and invited Bai Xiushang and Ning Yi to accompany him, so that the two could have a good talk without conflict, and it was best to untie the knot in their hearts over the years.

After the two sisters met, they stared at each other for a long time, and for a while no one spoke.

After a while, Xiao Shiyu said to Bai Xiushang and Ning Yi: "Suyi, Mr. Ning, please stay here for a while, I have a few words to say to Mrs. Shi." ”

Ning Yi glanced at Shi Wuyue, Shi Wuyue nodded slightly, "It's just right, I also have something to say to Senior Sister." ”

Ning Yi replied briefly with one word, "Okay." ”

Bai Xiushang looked back at the direction of the dock, Li Xuandu had already boarded the boat with Qin Su, and was standing on the bow of the boat at this time, close to each other, so that Bai Xiusheng, who had come over, smiled and was a little envious, and then she retracted her gaze and said to the two: "Regardless of status, just age, both of you are seniors, it is not good to delay for too long, let the juniors wait." ”

"Rest assured. Xiao Shiyu had already taken the lead and walked to a secluded place not far away, Shi Wuyue's foot injury had not healed, but after recuperating for so long, he couldn't move around, but he walked without hindrance, and he followed Xiao Shiyu to the distance.

Xiao Shiyu walked to a big boulder, stood with his hands in his hands, turned his back to Shi Wuyue who was following her, and did not turn around.

Shi Wuyue also stopped, separated from Xiao Shiyu by about a distance, and quietly looked at Xiao Shiyu's back.

Many years ago, Shi Wuyue looked at the tall back of her senior sister like this, and followed her into the Xuannu Sect, she remembered that it snowed heavily that day, and the entire Xuannu Sect was in a vegan state, and the senior sister was also dressed in white, as if she wanted to merge with the whole environment. But since she slapped the person in front of her that day, she has never looked at her like this again.

Shi Wuyue sighed softly.

Xiao Shiyu slowly turned around and looked at Shi Wuyue, there was no anger as Shi Wuyue imagined, nor there was any hatred, only the true calm of an old man who had experienced vicissitudes, no matter how young Xiao Shiyu looked, she was an old man, and it was also the intention of Bai Xiusheng to say that just now, not because she was afraid that Li Xuandu would be withered, but to euphemistically remind them that the two very old people should no longer be as careless as children.

This stone seems to be very large, the size of a grinding plate, and because of the long-term wind and sun, there are not too many edges and corners, but it is very smooth, so Xiao Shiyu sits

On the stone, he said, "Sit down and talk." ”

Shi Wuyue also sat on the stone, but the two soldiers did not sit side by side, but back to back, and the two of them were facing one direction.

Xiao Shiyu was silent, waiting for Shi Wuyue to speak, but Shi Wuyue was a little unsure of where to start, and the two were silent together.

In the end, it was Xiao Shiyu who spoke first, "Stone, you are also the age of knowing the destiny of heaven this year, right?"

Shi Wuyue said: "Can you not mention this? I think I'm still young, I'm in my thirties, I'm still a, and the charm still exists." ”

Xiao Shiyu shook his head, "You can not mention it, but I can't help mentioning it, I am already in the age of sixties." ”

Shi Wuyue said softly: "How terrible, every time I see Qin Su and these little girls, I always feel that I have become younger, and I can still be sisters with them." But you have to remind me that I am actually an old woman, if it weren't for the beauty of my skin, I would have my hair turned seventy percent gray and my face full of wrinkles, and no one would have looked at it more. ”

"I'm not trying to say that. Xiao Shiyu shook his head, "I want to say, white-headed sisters, who are over half a hundred years old, and there are still a few fifty years." ”

Shi Wuyue lowered her head and looked at the tip of her shoes sticking out of her skirt: "There is no one, so I came to see Senior Sister today." ”

Xiao Shiyu raised his head, "Back then, you didn't want to listen to my explanation, and you didn't believe my explanation. ”

Shi Wuyue sighed and said, "It doesn't matter. ”

Xiao Shiyu asked, "Did you see Song Zheng in the Golden Horde?"

Shi Wuyue replied, "I haven't seen it, but it doesn't matter anymore. ”

As she spoke, Shi Wuyue looked up in the direction where Ning Yi was, Bai Xiushang had already left, Ning Yi's arms naturally drooped, her eyes were calm, and after touching Shi Wuyue's gaze, she avoided it and turned to the direction of Li Xuandu.

Shi Wuyue retracted her gaze and smiled slightly, "It really doesn't matter." ”

Xiao Shiyu couldn't see the smile on Shi Wuyue's face, and said suspiciously: "This is not like you, I have locked you in the jade prison for so many years, and I haven't seen you have half of the intention of repenting, why does it suddenly matter?"

Shi Wuyue didn't answer directly, but said: "I don't care about Taiyun anymore, what else do I care about, or does I say that Senior Sister has a knot?"

Xiao Shiyu was silent for a moment and said, "I don't have any knots, it's best if you can think about it." ”

Shi Wuyue said: "I like what Senior Sister called me just now, but I don't want this title to be used now, I hope it can be used in the future." ”

Xiao Shiyu suddenly understood that Shi Wuyue was a person who had a will, so she could not care about everything before. Xiao Shiyu knew that she should send a blessing at this time, and she could resolve the grievances between the two for many years, but she still asked in a ghostly manner: "Doesn't he mind?"

Xiao Shiyu didn't say that this "he" referred to Song Zheng, or the person Shi Wuyue cared about, and she didn't ask what she minded, but the sisters for many years still let Shi Wuyue understand, Shi Wuyue didn't answer her, got up and left directly, and walked in the direction of boarding, leaving Xiao Shiyu alone.

Xiao Shiyu got up and turned around, looking at Shi Wuyue's back, speechless for a long time.

At this moment, Xiao Shiyu knew that her question had once again hurt this junior sister's heart, she wanted to explain, she didn't mean to look down on Shi Wuyue, she just knew that men cared about women's past, and if they didn't say it, they would mind in their hearts, she didn't want Shi Wuyue to repeat the mistakes of the past.

But until Shi Wuyue disappeared from her sight and boarded the big ship, she didn't say half a word, and she didn't even move her steps.
