Chapter 22: Back to the Inn
In the next part of the journey, there were no twists and turns, neither encountered the interception of the Yin Yang Sect, nor the people of the Governor of Jingchu blocking the way, and smoothly entered the Huainan Mansion in Luzhou.
When I arrived at Huainan Mansion, I arrived at the core territory of the Taiping Sect, where Taiping Mountain is located. Everyone in the world knows that the most mysterious Taiping Sect of the Twelve Sects of the Righteous Path is located in the Taiping Mountain, but the Taiping Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, spanning the land of two states and three prefectures, and there are very few people who really know where the Taiping Sect Mountain Gate is located. It is in response to the poem "Only in this mountain, the clouds are deep and I don't know where".
However, this time, Li Xuandu and the others did not need to climb Taiping Mountain, and the destination was the Taiping Inn located at the foot of Taiping Mountain. It can be regarded as the general number of many Taiping inns in the world, but it is unknown, and there is nothing surprising, there is no big array to protect it, and there are not many Taiping Sect masters sitting here, just because the shopkeeper couple is unusual.
It's no wonder that Li Xuandu looked away when he first came here, it was really because he was in a low realm that day, and he met Mr. Shen Da, who was among the top of the Taixuan list, so he naturally "didn't know the real person in front of him".
There are often changes among the ten people on the Taixuan list, not in terms of the level of the realm, but in terms of the level of combat power. Today's first person in the Taixuan List is Qin Qing, the sect leader of the Mending Heaven Sect, the third person is the Extreme Heavenly King of the Wudao Sect, the fourth person is the old man Zang, the sect leader of the Soap Pavilion Sect, the fifth person is the Tiangong General Tang Zhou, the sixth person is Zhang Haishi of the Qingwei Sect, the seventh person is Wuzhen of the King Kong Sect, the eighth person is the sect master of the Taiping Sect Shen Wuwu, the ninth person is the sect master of the Qingwei Sect Li Yuanying, and the tenth person is the "Blood Knife" Ning Yi of the Lady Sect.
As for the second person, it is Bai Xiushang, the sect leader of the Cihang Sect. The so-called "embroidered clothes", also known as "embroidered clothes", "poems, wind, nine baskets" have clouds: "The son of my wife, the clothes are embroidered." And Qin Qing named his daughter a "Su" character, Qin Su is Qin Di white silk, one is clothes, and the other is cloth, which is somewhat meaningful.
In addition to these ten people, there are other sect masters, such as Mrs. Leng, the sect leader of the Xuannu Sect, Xiao Shiyu, the sect leader of the Xuannu Sect, the sect master Taiwei Zhenren of the Donghua Sect, the sect leader of the Miaozhen Sect, the Sect Master of the Shenxiao Sect, the Sanxuan Zhenren, etc., these people and other realms are all above the realm of heaven and man, and they are not even inferior to Tang Qin, the first person in the black and white spectrum, but for various reasons, they are not on the black and white spectrum, and they are slightly inferior to the people of the Taixuan List, so they can be regarded as between the Taixuan List and the black and white spectrum.
As for the abbot of Jing Zen Buddhism, the old sect master of the Taiping Sect is not in the old Xuanbang or Taixuanbang, and it is very likely that he has passed away, which is also the root cause of the closure of the two sects.
When approaching the Taiping Inn, Shen Changsheng finally slowly woke up, and when he saw the familiar inn, a fiery and pure emotion burst out in his heart: he finally went home.
The inn is still the same, boxy, two-story building, and the flag is in the center.
The broken flagpole has been repaired, and the big flag with tattered edges hangs on the flagpole, waving in the wind, and the flag is embroidered with four big characters: Taiping Inn.
The small building is becoming more and more dilapidated, not only the white wall skin has almost completely peeled off, revealing the green bricks underneath, but also the black tiles on the roof are also incomplete, and it is obvious that some of the tiles were filled in later, which looks relatively new and incompatible with the old tiles around it.
No one would have thought that the master of the Taiping Sect, who was rich in the world, would be in such a place.
The Taiping Sect and the Yin-Yang Sect are great enemies, just as the Xuannu Sect and the Yin-Yang Sect are great enemies, no matter how bad the Taiping Sect is, it will not make people bully to the doorstep, so after arriving here, there is no need to worry too much about the means of the Yin-Yang Sect.
The greedy wolf king asked Jia Wendao, Zheng Yijing, and Wang Huchan to go to find a place to heal their injuries first, and then she accompanied the palace officials into the compound of the Taiping Inn.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, a black shadow suddenly burst out, but it was a soil dog, and he pounced straight on Shen Changsheng.
Shen Changsheng hugged the earth dog, and the earth dog desperately stuck out his tongue to lick Shen Changsheng, Shen Changsheng dodged and said with a smile: "It's called 'Wangcai', which is the name given by the proprietress, which means: 'Prosperous, rich and prosperous.'" 'I used to go out to buy, often take it with me, don't look at its thin and weak appearance, in fact, its strength is great, once I met a dog thief in the county, two men could not catch it, it was dragged on the ground and walked around. ”
Speaking of this, Shen Changsheng stretched out his hand and rubbed Wangcai's dog's head: "I don't know what the proprietress fed it, ordinary dogs live to be more than ten years old, but it is almost twenty years old, older than me." ”
Li Xuandu glanced at the earth dog and said, "That's really extravagant. ”
While she was talking, a woman came out of the inn, dressed in a group of flowers, with a golden hosta, and the most conspicuous thing was that she was holding a pipe in her hand, an ebony rod, a jade mouth, a dark gold pot, and green smoke.
The woman's gaze quickly swept over Su Yunsheng, the palace official, and the greedy wolf king, and fell on Shen Changsheng's body, her face sank slightly, and she scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, do you still know to come back?"
Shen Changsheng put down the earth dog in his hand and said timidly: "Boss lady." ”
Mrs. Lu waved her hand: "Hurry up and change your clothes." ”
Shen Changsheng ran towards the inn with a puff of smoke.
Mrs. Lu turned to look at Li Xuandu: "Li Gongzi, I haven't seen you for half a year, you should be impressed." ”
Li Xuandu clenched his fists and saluted: "How is Mrs. Lu lately?
"All right, please come in, someone has been waiting for a long time. Mrs. Lu turned around and entered the inn.
Li Xuandu and a few people entered the inn, only to see that the huge inn was empty, Li Xuandu also deliberately glanced at the wall that was broken at the beginning, it can be seen that the color of some blue bricks on the wall is obviously not the same as the surroundings, and it is obvious that it was also made up later. Thinking of this, Li Xuandu was a little embarrassed, when he fought here, was it a little unaware of the meaning of the sky?
On the other hand, Su Yuncheng was not shocked. It seems that Bai Rushuang and Zhang Qingshan made a big fuss at the Taiping Inn, and Su Yunjiao made trouble with Mrs. Lu, but it didn't happen at all.
At this time, in the lobby of the inn, there was only someone at the middle table, who was pouring himself a drink, not who Zhang Luanshan was.
After Zhang Luanshan saw a few people, he didn't get up, but just put down the chicken mouth wine jug in his hand, and stretched out his hand to make a "please" gesture: "Everyone, please take a seat." ”
The table is a table of eight immortals, which can sit eight people on all sides. Zhang Luanshan sat alone, Li Xuandu sat opposite Zhang Luanshan, Su Yuncheng sat alone on Zhang Luanshan's left-hand side, and the palace official and the greedy wolf king sat side by side on Zhang Luanshan's right-hand side.
Zhang Luanshan looked at Li Xuandu: "Zifu, the reason for the incident, I think Fairy Su and the palace girl have already explained it to you." ”
Li Xuandu nodded.
Zhang Luanshan's face had a slight smile: "Since you already know the reason and are still willing to come here, it means that we are still in agreement." ”
Li Xuan was noncommittal: "I hate to be curious, is the original intention of this matter from your original intention, or from the instructions of the Heavenly Master? In other words, do you have to follow the orders of the Great Heavenly Master, or have you persuaded the Heavenly Master?"
"Zifu can't help but think too highly of me. Zhang Luanshan shook his head and said: "What is my identity, how can I convince the old heavenly master? Zifu, didn't you just try to convince the old sword god? What is the result, I don't need to say more, right? The reason why they have been able to reach such a position today is not only lucky, but also indispensable to extraordinary courage and meticulous thinking, as well as a pattern that is different from ordinary people, which one is not the best person in the world? The best person is bound to be conceited, and the most determined is firm, how can he change his mind because of the eloquent talk of a few juniors?"
Li Xuandu was silent.
Zhang Luanshan said hesitantly: "But then again, I admire Zifu very much, dare to speak out and advise the old sword god, and dare to do things that others don't do." Some things are very hard and tiring, which are beneficial to many people, but they are not much good for themselves, and they will even lose a life, if you don't do it, I don't do it, and he won't do it, then it will never be done. In this world, there is no shortage of 'smart people', what is lacking is 'fools', and it is precisely because there are too few 'fools' who dare to do things and too many 'smart people' who don't do things that they will become like this. ”
Li Xuandu asked, "What about you? Who are you? Smart or stupid?"
Zhang Luanshan was silent for a moment, shook his head and smiled: "Although I am suspected of boasting, I am probably a fool." ”
