This time, Li Rushi personally opened the door, and the two doors were slowly removed without making a sound.

Li Rushi stood outside the threshold and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Er, please." ”

Zhang Haishi bowed slightly, crossed the threshold, and strode into the hall.

The design of the main hall here is unusual, extremely long and narrow, after entering the temple door, there is a long passage with a heavy veil, and at the end of the passage there are two temple doors, behind which is the real house.

There is a plaque hanging just above the door of the temple here, on which are written four large characters in seal style: "Fa Mo is as obvious". This plaque is exactly the same as the four big characters of "True Realm Essence House" on the plaque outside the hall, and it is also the handwriting of Li Daoxu.

On both sides of the passage, every two zhang there is a huge three-legged covered copper incense burner, the lid of the furnace is hollowed out according to the gossip image, there is a cyan flame burning in the furnace, so that the hollow place continues to pour out a faint purple smoke, so that this place becomes smoky, like a fairyland.

Zhang Haishi walked among them, his footsteps were silent, only the crisp sound of the bamboo cane in his hand constantly hitting the ground.

The master and apprentice are separated by one door.

If you walk into the house, you can see at first glance that the altar on the main wall enshrines the god seat of the Taishang Taoist Ancestor and the Sanqing Patriarch, and under the god seat is a yin and yang Dharma seat paved with a dark futon cushion, under the Dharma seat is a lichen, the lichen is picturesque, in which the sky is dark, the clouds cover the fog, the thunder and lightning are clear, and there is a faint shadow passing through it, which is the "Sword Immortal Flying Diagram" with the same name as the "Heavenly Master Flying Immortal Map".

Although it is a retreat place, it is not built in the dark underground, and there are windows around it, and when the windows are opened, the breeze outside carries a few bamboo leaves and floats in. The old man, who was sitting on the throne of the ashram, slowly opened his eyes and reached out to catch a bamboo leaf with his index finger.

The old man stared at the bamboo leaf, and gently exhaled a breath of white air, which did not waver, like a long white dragon circling around the bamboo leaf, and then flew back into the old man's nose, and the bamboo leaf turned into a little debris scattered on the lichen.

The old man looked up and could see that these debris were pieced together into three short horizontal lines, one horizontal line was one line, and three lines were dry.

These detritus are actually the hexagrams that just happened to piece together a dry position.

There is also a way of divination in the "Xuanwei True Technique" in the Qingwei Sect, but it is not as proficient as the Taiping Sect and the Yinyang Sect.

The old man was very old, and his body was thin, and his hair was like snow, without the slightest variegation, and he had not tied his hair, so he was casually draped down. He wore a snow-white wide-sleeved crane, which was in stark contrast to Zhang Haishi, who was dressed in black outside the door.

When the crisp sound of a bamboo cane came from outside the door, the old man frowned slightly, waved his sleeves, and the crumbs on the lichen flew out of the window with a gust of fresh wind that grew out of thin air.

Zhang Haishi stopped three feet in front of the door.

After decades of tacit understanding between master and apprentice, neither of them spoke at the first time, and they were silent for a moment before they heard Zhang Haishi outside the door say slowly: "Disciple Zhang Haishi asks to see." ”

The old man is the old sword god and the great sword immortal in the mouths of countless rivers and lakes, and he is also the teacher of Zhang Haishi, Li Yuanying, Li Xuandu, Lu Yanbing and others, and the old sect master of the Qingwei Sect, Li Daoxu.

In the fine house, Li Daoxu did not answer immediately, closed his eyes, seemed to be completely settled, and sat motionless on the futon. Since he moved here, he rarely came forward to preside over the internal affairs of the Qingwei Sect in person, and after passing the position of sect master to Li Yuanying, he no longer summoned the thirty-six hall masters, and spent more time practicing Taoism and cultivating the Xuan on weekdays.

Without the four gentlemen's party, which was difficult to control, Li Daoxu re-grasped the Qingwei Sect that had deviated from his mastery in his hands, and handed over all the affairs in the sect to Li Yuanying. If Li Yuanying did something right, he recognized it, and if Li Yuanying did something wrong, he punished him. Right and wrong are in his hands, and he will never be wrong.

The saint has no name, the supreme man has no self, and the god and man have no merit.

There is no right or wrong, no merit and no fault, no good and no evil, and God and man are just like that.

Xu Wugui once relied on Li Daoxu in his early years: "Everything is too cautious, the affairs of the public are organized, the program is increased and the discipline is added, and the Chinese and foreign relocations are all constant." "It was Li Xuandu who single-handedly revised the various rules and regulations of the Qingwei Sect, that is, the rules, so he had to abide by his own rules.

Li Daoxu didn't speak, Zhang Haishi stood outside the door and waited, subconsciously looking up at the plaque of "Fa Mo Ruxian".

There was a deathly silence in the hall, and time seemed to stand still at this moment.

After a long time, Li Daoxu slowly opened his eyes, and his tone did not rise and fall for half a minute: "Come in." ”

Zhang Haishi slowly pushed open the door of the hall, stepped into it, and then quietly saluted: "Disciple to meet the master." ”

Li Daoxu stood up with fluttering sleeves and looked at Zhang Haishi indifferently, "Mr. Er, although you and I are a master and apprentice, you are also a lot of age, so you don't need to be so polite." ”

No one would have thought that the old sect master Li Daoxu would actually call his second disciple Mr. Er, and the meaning of unfamiliarity was obvious. But obviously it was not the first time, Zhang Haishi didn't feel any panic at all, straightened up, lowered his eyes, and looked at the sword immortal ascension map under his feet.

Li Daoxu looked up at the top of his head, and it was actually an artificially created map of the Thirty-six Heavenly Gangs, and his feet were just stepping on the two points of the Yin and Yang Pisces of the Dharma Seat, one foot in the Yin and one in the Yang, the anode Yin was born, and the Yin Pole was Yang.

After a while, he retracted his gaze and turned his gaze to Zhang Haishi: "The Confucian sage has a saying: 'I have five out of ten and am determined to learn, thirty and stand, forty and not confused, fifty and know the destiny of heaven, sixty and obedient, seventy and do what I want without exceeding the rules.' The older he gets, the more he knows the unfathomable mysteries of the towering heavenly dao above his head, and when he reaches the current realm, he is only one step away from crossing the gate of heaven, and the deeper he feels, the more he dares not to cross the thunder pond by half a step. I just made a half-hexagram on the spot, and it turned out to be a dry master. Why don't you make up the other half of the hexagram again? ”

Zhang Haishi nodded, and he didn't see how he moved, and a bamboo leaf actually grew on the bamboo cane in his hand

Li Daoxu was not surprised when he saw this scene, but said: "Urging the opportunity to turn death into life is already a means of man-made transformation in the heavens, it seems that you are still clumsy on weekdays." ”

"The master is falsely praised. Zhang Haishi humbly said, shook off the bamboo leaves on the bamboo cane, and also exhaled a breath of white gas, straight as a sword, directly shattering this bamboo leaf, turning it into crumbs and falling on the lichen.

The two looked at each other, and there were three horizontal lines, three lines.

The three lines plus the three lines are the six lines, which is the Qiangua.

Li Daoxu's face had a little smile: "Dry for the sky, strong and upright." It symbolizes the dragon, and also symbolizes yang and health, indicating prosperity and strength. According to the principle of adaptation of all things, the hexagram takes Yuan, Heng, Li, and Zhen as hexagrams to show auspiciousness. ”

Li Daoxu said to Zhang Haishi again: "You are also proficient in divination, you might as well refer to it, what does this trigram mean." ”

Zhang Haishi waved his sleeves, dispersed the three trigrams, and said: "The Qiangua is the image of the extreme yang. Qianshang naturally refers to the master, and it is difficult to say what Qianxia refers to, and it will not be a disciple. ”

Li Dao smiled faintly: "Mr. Er, this is pretending to be confused. ”

Zhang Haishi did not call himself a "disciple" this time, and said calmly: "Many people feel that on the chessboard of Qingwei Sect, I am the only person who is qualified to play against Shizun. In fact, for so many years, I have just tried my best, just like a donkey pulling a cart, after all, it can't compare to a horse. ”

Li Dao looked at him: "Who do you think will be this horse?"

Zhang Haishi did not speak.

Li Daoxu said for him: "Do you think it is Li Xuandu, he is the one who is qualified to play against me in the future." ”

Zhang Haishi raised his head and looked directly at Li Daoxu: "As early as the second year of Tianbao, he had already played a game of chess with Shizun, although he lost, but it also surprised Shizun, and even made Shizun feel threatened, otherwise Shizun would not be in a hurry to uproot the so-called four gentlemen and one party." ”

Li Daoxu stared at him and said with a light smile: "Those who know me, Zhang Haishi." ”

Zhang Haishi lowered his head and bowed slightly: "The master praises falsely." ”

Li Daoxu continued: "The Purple Mansion was brought up by you, but his temperament is not like you, let alone me, but like his senior brother who has been dead for many years. That's why you like him so much. The person who is really like me is not Li Yuanying, nor Li Taiyi, but you, the second gentleman. ”

Zhang Haishi was silent.

Li Daoxu sighed lightly and said, "Tell me about your intentions." ”
