Li Xuandu came to the backyard alone, there was also a row of bungalows here, but it was blocked by a two-story building, so he couldn't see this place from the front yard.

Li Xuandu came to the so-called ground house, which was not much better than the firewood room, and after pushing the door open, the musty smell of the house was full, and I don't know how long no one has lived in it. Li Xuandu came to the fire kang and stretched out his finger to wipe it, which was full of dust.

Li Xuandu sighed, pushed open the window, waved his sleeves several times, rolled up a gust of breeze, and drove the rising smoke and dust out of the house.

As the proprietress thinks, he is not a fledgling child, let alone an ordinary Jianghu person. He is an old man, he entered the rivers and lakes at the age of ten, and it has been fifteen years now.

Fifteen springs and autumns, fifteen flowers bloom and thanks, he has drunk the mellow wine of spring breeze peaches and plums, and has also experienced the bitter wind and rain of lonely lamps on cold nights, and it is inevitable that his hands will be stained with some life and blood debts.

In this world of swords and swords, there are four seasons in life.

Some people are spring, and the spring breeze is proud. Some people are summer, bustling and splendid. Some people are autumn, killing Xiao Se. There are also people who are in winter, only white and clean.

Li Xuandu has been lonely since he was a child, with no parents and no brothers and sisters, so his life is not destined to be spring and summer, and he doesn't want his life to become a white winter, so he can only choose the autumn of the main killing. In the final analysis, it's not that he likes to kill, but that he has to kill people to survive in this troubled world where human life is like a mustard.

Li Xuandu gently stroked his cuffs and sighed softly.

When he returned to the lobby in front of him, he found that the originally empty lobby was already full of people, all of whom were dressed in green clothes.

The moment he walked into the lobby, he immediately noticed the eyes projected from all directions, full of vigilance and scrutiny.

The proprietress hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is a guest of this store, a serious person who walks the rivers and lakes, and eats with a mouthful." ”

After many Qingluanwei retracted their gaze, she came to Li Xuandu's side again and explained softly: "Don't be afraid, these officials have always been like this, after all, the officials are all responsible for the affairs of the imperial court, and they are careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years." ”

Li Xuandu thanked the proprietress with a smile, came to a free table of eight immortals by the window and sat down, and after a while, the black and thin young man presented him with an unopened flower carving and a plate of cooked beef.

Li Xuandu sandwiched a chopstick beef, a little surprised, in terms of taste, it was not a domestic yellow beef, but like wild buffalo meat, he couldn't help but glance at the black and thin boy, and asked softly: "Didn't ask the name and surname of the little brother?"

It was probably the first time for the thin black boy to be asked for his name in such a charlatan way, and he was a little shy for the first time, "My name is Shen Changsheng." ”

"Shen Changsheng?" Li Xuandu stopped the movement of stretching his chopsticks and said with a smile: "My name is Xuandu, your name is Changsheng, in the final analysis, it means the same thing, we both want to live longer in this world, so the two of us are still on the same path." ”

Shen Changsheng said with a smile: "The guest officer is a scholar, right? My name was obtained by the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper said that longevity is longevity, and I wonder how many years to live to be considered longevity? It is said that life is rare for 70 years, and it is almost the same to live a hundred years old. ”

Li Xuandu was dumbfounded, and he didn't know how to evaluate the second half of the sentence, so he could only answer the first half of the sentence, "I have read a few books, but I am not a reader." ”

Shen Changsheng still wanted to speak, but the shout of the proprietress sounded from the back kitchen, and he didn't dare to rub it, and after confessing to Li Xuandu, he hurriedly ran to the back kitchen.

Li Xuandu looked at Shen Changsheng's back thoughtfully.

Where did a teenager get wild buffalo meat in an afternoon?

This Taiping Inn is a bit interesting.

But none of this mattered, and the purpose of his trip was not this inn, but just a coincidence.

Li Xuandu no longer paid attention to Shen Changsheng, and began to pay attention to the Qingluanwei in the lobby, in all fairness, these Qingluanwei are not simple, they are all strong people, with obvious military imprints on their bodies, indicating that these Qingluanwei are not powerful people in the market, but the real elite of Qingluanwei, especially a Qingluanwei commander Tongzhi who is faintly headed, looks like he knows the age of the destiny of heaven, his gray hair is meticulously combed, his face is old-fashioned, and his temperament is fierce.

Then there was the conductor who had gone downstairs earlier, sitting next to the conductor and acquaintance, with a calm demeanor.

But the most striking thing is a young man who occupies a table by himself, pouring himself a drink and a leisurely atmosphere.

Looking at his face, in less than a year of standing, it should be similar to Li Xuandu, but then look at the Tsing Yi Luan suit on his body, but it is the style of the third grade, which is one level higher than the old man from the third grade, and he did not carry the Wenluan knife like other Qingluanwei, but put a green sheath long sword on the table, the sword is dark, the hilt is wrapped with gold wire, and the head of the sword is directly inlaid with a cat's eye sized ruby, which is very eye-catching.

Li Xuandu glanced at it and sighed secretly.

It's no wonder that this young man who is like the son of a family is more like the commander of Qingluanwei dares to act like this, it turns out that he has something to rely on.

The things of this world must always be divided into high and low.

Take the civil and military officials of the imperial court as an example, the nine-rank eighteen-order, from the first-grade Zaifu to the minor minor officials from the ninth grade, are all in this framework, who is high and who is low, who is up and who is down, who is respectful and who is inferior, at a glance.

Since the temple is like this, then the rivers and lakes are also like this, and the strange people in the world are also divided into two categories, just like the civil and military divisions in the temple, and there are nine realms, just like the nine-grade official system.

These two types of people, one pays attention to the soul and the other pays attention to the body and body, each with its own emphasis. The ninefold realms are: Solid, Imperial Qi, Entering the Spirit, Holding Dan, Xuanyuan, Innate, Returning to Truth, Celestial and Man, and Immortal.

The vast majority of people in the rivers and lakes stay in the first two realms, as the name suggests, stabilize the body, make the qi, the physique is the external force, the qi is the internal force, both internal and external, different from ordinary people.

Take these Qingluanwei in front of them as an example, most of them are in the solid realm, with strong physique and strength like oxen. The commander and a gloomy Qingluan guard had already set foot in the Imperial Qi Realm, and the qi machine was nurtured in their bodies, and they were enough to hide their strength between their shots, hurting people invisibly, and the old man with an old-fashioned face was a real cultivator in the Divine Realm.

These three realms correspond to the three major dantians, the solid realm corresponds to the place where the dantian hides the essence, the imperial qi realm corresponds to the place where the dantian gathers qi, and the divine realm corresponds to the upper dantian to raise the gods.

As for the commander, he was young, and he had also set foot in the divine realm, and in terms of his age, he was naturally more promising than the old commander.
