After Li Xuandu sent Qin Qing away, he began to prepare for entering Shu. He invited him first, and lately, he has been helping him with things, mainly about the inn, so he doesn't show up much.

As for why Li Xuandu was invited to come over, it was mainly because of the snake staff.

After Li Xuandu got the snake staff of the national teacher from Li Feiyan, he didn't have time to study it carefully, and now, he didn't have much time, so he could only hope for Yechi, the golden horde.

When Yechi came to Li Xuandu's study, Li Xuandu had already taken out the snake staff and placed it horizontally on his desk, so Yechi saw the snake staff at first sight and said in surprise: "This is the 'Immortal Staff'?"

"'Longevity Staff'?" Li Xuandu was the first to hear the name, "Do you recognize this snake staff?"

Ye Chi said: "Of course I recognize, this is the scepter of the national teacher, how did it get into the hands of the messenger?"

Li Xuandu said: "This is what I got from another person, and he has just returned to the Central Plains from the royal court. ”

Ye Chi didn't delve into these details, just nodded.

Li Xuandu asked, "You said that this snake staff is called the 'Immortal Staff', is there any reason for the allusion?"

Chi also replied truthfully: "Legend has it that a long, long time ago, when the first great shaman who founded shamanism was thinking about how to save the dead herdsman, he was frightened by the sudden appearance of a snake and beat the snake to death with a cane in his hand. The great shaman believed that snakes brought healing powers, so he wrapped two snakes around the cane and prayed for the blessings of the heavens of eternal life, hence the name 'Staff of Eternal Life'. ”

Li Xuandu stretched out his hand to pick up the snake staff called "Immortal Staff" and asked with a smile, "Do shamanic things always have the name of immortality?"

After thinking about it for a while, he nodded and said, "Yes, but not everything can be named in the name of immortality, it must be an extremely precious thing, or a treasure related to immortality." As far as I know, there are only five things in shamanism that can be named after the immortal heaven. ”

Li Xuandu was silent when he heard this. Shamanism has been passed down for many years, and there are only five objects that have been named immortal, and now two of them have fallen into his hands, in a sense, shamanism is his nobleman.

He also looked at the snake staff in Li Xuandu's hand, and showed a rare look of feeling, "I met a person from the Central Plains a few days ago, and he told me many stories, and there is a sentence in the story: The agency is too clever and mistook Qingqing's life. I think the national teacher is such a person, he is too smart, thinks too much, and as a result, he loses his life, and everything becomes someone else's. ”

Li Xuandu said: "Being smart is mistaken by being smart." ”

He also nodded heavily, "That's what it means." ”

Li Xuandu was noncommittal about this statement, and asked again: "According to shamanic legends, this 'staff of longevity' still has the ability to heal?"

He also scratched his head, not quite sure: "Probably." It is said that the national teacher will cure the sick and save people, but that was a long time ago, at least I haven't seen it. ”

Li Xuandu nodded, "Thank you, I don't have anything else I want to ask." ”

After leaving, Li Xuandu put away the "Longevity Staff" and began to write a letter to Zhang Haishi.

......

In the Vientiane School Palace, Qin Su, Yu Qingning and Su Lianrong walked in the palace, attracting the attention of many young students.

Three women

Each has its own merits, and it is naturally a beautiful scenery, although there are also women in the palace, but compared with these three, it is far behind.

Su Lianrong was able to escape from the clutches of King Jin and come to the Vientiane Academy Palace because Qin Su secretly contributed, so it was logical for Qin Su to come to see Su Lianrong. In addition, the three women are proficient in music and rhythm, and they will make friends with music and rhythm, so naturally they will not arouse the suspicion of others, let alone doubt Su Lianrong's identity because of this.

The Confucian Sect kept its promise and would not interfere in the affairs of the Daomen before the Jade Void Sword Fight, so the Confucian Sect not only sent a great sacrificial wine to watch the ceremony on the day of the ceremony, but also allowed the people of the Daomen to enter the Vientiane School Palace.

Qin Su and Yu Qingning entered the Vientiane Academy Palace in the name of visiting friends, first the high priest Sikong Daoxuan received them, and after Su Lianrong arrived, Sikong Daoxuan said goodbye and left.

The three of them were just strolling and chatting, unlike Li Xuandu, who was full of thoughts and plans, Qin Su did come to see Yu Qingning and Su Lianrong with the mood of visiting friends, just like the vast majority of Jianghu people in Longmen Mansion.

Qin Su is a hermit, likes to place his affection between mountains and rivers, does not have a wide range of contacts, does not have many friends, and a handful of friends have not been able to see each other for a long time because of the south and north of the world, and now she finally has this opportunity, of course she can't miss it.

The three of them walked side by side, Qin Su walked in the middle, Yu Qingning on the left, Su Lianrong on the right, Qin Su said with a smile: "If I am a man, this is to hug the left and the right, enjoy the blessings of all people, I don't know how many people to envy." ”

Yu Qingning pursed her lips and smiled.

Su Lianrong said helplessly: "In my impression, Bai Juan is a person who is not good at talking, and he will not be so oily. ”

Qin Su was surprised: "Is there one?"

"Yes. Yu Qingning said softly, "From this point of view, those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black." ”

Qin Su said with a smile: "What Nu Wan said is good, I should have been with Zifu for a long time, and I didn't learn anything else, so I learned his poor mouth and poor tongue, so I came to find two of you to dip in immortal energy." ”

Yu Qingning joked: "Okay, you are a vegetarian, this is to learn the habits of Qingwei Sect, there are words in the words, saying that I deliberately put on a high fairy shelf on weekdays, and deliberately shame me, right?"

"How can there be!" Qin Su waved his hand again and again, "I say this from the bottom of my heart, everyone calls me 'Miss Qin', where is the title of this eldest lady comparable to the title of a fairy?"

Yu Qingning smiled and said: "Speaking of fairies, then you are looking for the wrong person, you are Miss Qin, and Ai Yun is Fairy Su, you have to find her." By the way, there is another Fairy Su today. ”

Qin Su looked at Su Lianrong and nodded, "I forgot, Sister Lianrong is also surnamed Su." ”

Su Lianrong said helplessly: "I'm old, what kind of fairy am I." ”

Qin Su quipped: "Yes, whether it's a fairy or a young lady, it's superficial." Or does 'Su family' sound substantial, don't you say, jade family?"

Just as the three women were joking with each other, they saw two men standing in the lakeside pavilion not far in front of them, looking at the railing, pointing, and seemingly talking.

Su Lianrong stopped, showing a little displeasure on her face.

Qin Su asked, "Sister Su, do you know those two?"

Su Lianrong said: "Among them, the older person is named Xie Yueyin, who is from the Tianxin Academy, and the other is Pei Yu, who is from the Sheji Academy. Both of them came to Vientiane Academy to study. ”

Qin Su pretended not to know and said: "It turns out that he is Pei Yu, I have heard of it for a long time, I heard that a few days ago, he once visited the Purple Mansion." ”

Su Lianrong glanced at Qin Su and said, "This kid is not pure-minded, he is a flashy prodigal, don't be deceived by him." ”

As he was talking, Pei Yu and Xie Yueyin in the pavilion also saw the three women, and when they saw Pei Yu and Xie Yueyin accusing themselves, they walked towards this side.

Su Lianrong's face turned dark, and she subconsciously wanted to turn around to avoid it, but she thought that there were two guests beside her, so she had to stand in place.

However, to Su Lianrong's surprise, Pei Yu did not come for her, but saluted Qin Su respectfully, "I've seen my wife." ”

Qin Su was a little surprised by this title, and asked with a smile, "Master?"

"Exactly. Pei Yu said respectfully, "Mr. Qingping has the grace of saving my life and teaching my profession, so I treat him as a teacher, and I call him Mr., and the Qin sect master is naturally my master." ”

Qin Su glanced at Su Lianrong and said, "Who is this Su Sacrifice Wine again?"

"Since it's a sacrificial sake, of course it's also a teacher. Pei Yu replied.

Qin Su's face turned grim, and he said in a deep voice: "Then you are really bold, you dare to be disrespectful to the teacher." ”

Pei Yu raised his head and said in amazement, "Why did my master say this?"

Qin Su really had some meaning from the elders, and said indifferently: "You know it in your own heart." ”

There is a mountain pavilion on the mountain opposite the lake, and there are also two people in the pavilion at this time, it is Wen Ren, the great sacrificial wine of the Vientiane School Palace, and Nan Ting, the great sacrificial wine king of the Tianxin School Palace.

People at the bottom of the mountain can't see here, but they can see the mountain from here.

Wang Nanting asked, "Brother Wen, is this your confidant?"

"Exactly. Wen Ren said, "This son of the Pei family is quite trusted by Li Xuandu. ”

Wang Nanting shook his head and said, "In my opinion, whether you trust or distrust, with Li Xuandu's city government, you won't treat this person as your confidant in a short period of time, so this move won't have much effect." ”

Wen Ren said: "It's okay, you don't need to hear anything from Li Xuandu, you can also be regarded as a voice bearer, not long ago, I asked Pei Yu to pass on a word, it was about hermits." ”

Wang Nanting's face finally changed slightly, "What is Li Xuan's reaction?"

Wen Ren said: "There was no reaction on the surface, but he told Pei Yu not to get involved with the hermit." ”

Wang Nanting groaned and said, "In this way, Li Xuandu is still more biased towards us. ”

Wen Ren nodded and said: "It can be said that after all, there is the friendship of Sikong Great Sacrifice Wine, and Ning Yi, the grandson of Ning Great Sacrifice Wine, also follows Li Xuandu, so it is reasonable for him to be more biased towards us." ”

Wang Nanting looked around and lowered his voice, "What if...... One day, when the tide is over, we will put all the blame on those people. ”

Wen Ren's face was solemn, "I'm afraid it's too early to speak." ”

Wang Nanting said softly: "For many years, these people have been hiding in the name of seclusion, secretly manipulating the Confucian sect, doing their own thing, and even the king does not take it seriously, making the Confucian miasma angry, and the people are already angry, and the people's hearts are lost. As the saying goes, long pain is better than short pain, and today, it is with the help of Taoism that this abscess on the body of Confucianism is squeezed out, which is what people's hearts want. ”

Wen Ren was silent for a moment, then narrowed his eyes, "It's time to start preparing for a rainy day." ”
