Chapter 110: The turbid rivers and lakes
Li Xuandu left the Long Family Mansion alone. During the period when he was talking to the palace officials, Qinghui Ji had already cleaned up the mess. Not only was Long Xiaoyun's body buried, but even the seriously injured Sun Hu disappeared. The entire Long Family Mansion's door was empty, as if nothing had happened.
Li Xuandu returned to the inn, and Hu Liang and Zhou Shuning were both here, safe and sound, which made him feel a little hungry. Although he knew that the palace officials would not treat them, he was still afraid of the word "in case". Later, Li Xuandu roughly explained the matter of Long, but he hid the palace officials' speculation about Jing Zen. It was not that Li Xuan could not believe Hu Liang and Zhou Shuning, but that this matter was a major matter. If he was careless, it would be a major matter of destroying the sect and destroying the family. There was no need to involve them.
The three of them cleaned up and did not stop here for a long time. They braved the drizzle and left Ping'an County to Jiangling Mansion, which was adjacent to Shuiyang Mansion.
Jiangling Prefecture is the capital of Jingzhou, and Jiangling City is the prefecture city. It includes many powerful yamen such as the Jingzhou Sansi Yamen, the Jingzhou Governor's Yamen, and the Jingzhou Municipal Shipbuilding Prefecture. It is all here and can be said to be an important town in the southeast. It is also known as the "bridge of the seven states" because it is adjacent to the Dajiang River in the south, the Han River in the north, the Yushu River in the west, and the Xiaowu in the south.
In addition, Jingzhou is the territory of Shenxiao Sect, so there are also many other branches of Shenxiao Sect in Jiangling Mansion. Among them, the Fenglei Sect is the most popular, far from being compared with Lingxiu Villa, and even better than the Long family. After all, the Long family’s backer, the Jingchan Temple is far away in Zhongzhou, while the Fenglei Sect’s backer is in Jingzhou.
Shenxiao Sect is located on Taihe Mountain in Jingzhou. According to legend, this place is the place where ancient Xuanwu can achieve Taoism and ascend to heaven. There are sayings that "it is not worthy of Zhenwu". This place is the holy land of Taoism and the blessed land of cave heaven. It has seventy-two peaks, thirty-six rocks, twenty-four streams, eleven pools, ten caves, eleven springs, ten platforms, and three waterfalls. Its main peak, Tianzhu Peak is like a treasure pillar made of gold and jade, and is known as "one pillar to support the sky". Tianzhu Peak is surrounded by seventy-two peaks. The peak bent over and paused toward the main peak, forming the "seventy-two peaks facing the top,
The spectacular scene of the Twenty-Four Streams. The Shenxiao Sect was established here for more than a thousand years and was one of the four major sects of the Taoist sect. In addition to the Zhengyi Sect who has been designated as the "Tianshi Dazhenren" for generations, the Shenxiao Sect has had a close relationship with the courts of all dynasties. During the Emperor Taizu of this dynasty, the ancestor of the Shenxiao Sect was designated as "Qingxuyuan Miaozhenjun", the contemporary sect leader was named "Tongwei Xianhua Zhenren", Taihe Mountain was named "Dayue" and "Governing the World Xuanyue", and it is known that "the four famous mountains are all bowing, and the five immortal mountains in the direction of the five directions are celebrating the sect together", which can be seen.
Compared with the extremely powerful "Original Family", as a side branch, Fenglei Sect, it is naturally inferior, and even too shabby, but in fact its foundation is quite good. As a powerful tyrant in the world, the Fenglei Sect is not short of masters from the Innate Realm. There are three innate realm masters standing side by side in this generation. On the other hand, there is no one in Lingxiu Villa, showing a clear trend of being incompatible with the Fenglei Sect. It is obviously impossible to compare with the Fenglei Sect. Even if Long Zeyun has never set foot in the Guizhen Realm, it is not as good as the Fenglei Sect. After all, among the two innate realm masters, the Fenglei Sect has one-handed masters from the Xuanyuan Realm, and the inheritance is orderly, far from comparable to the Wancheng Escort Agency, which is mixed with fish and dragons.
The reason why Li Xuandu knew about this is because they had a great relationship with the Fenglei Sect.
On the eve of the Emperor's Capital Incident, the Qing Wei Sect, Miao Zhen Sect, Donghua Sect, Shenxiao Sect, and the four major sects all came to the Imperial Capital. The old leader of the Fenglei Sect, a branch of the Shenxiao Sect, also followed him. The old man was heroic and unconventional, and had the spirit of a hero. He was quite close to Li Xuandu and Hu Liang. The three of them had drunk together. During the Battle of Chengtian Gate, Hu Liang fought side by side with the old man, so the two were quite familiar with the situation of the Fenglei Sect.
On the muddy post road, the carriage was shaking and moving forward with difficulty. At this time, Hu Liang was still driving, and Li Xuan was half-lying on the door frame of the carriage, and the two were chatting together.
Seeing that Li Xuan always frowned slightly, as if he was worried, Hu Liang deliberately joked: "Old Li, when he saw the beautiful man Gong, he lost his soul? If I want me to say, the beautiful man Gong is not as good as Yu Qingning. If you marry a wife, you should marry a virtuous person, Yu Qingning is more gentle and virtuous. But then again, it is better to be both of them. How can you say something? It's a blessing for the people of Qi."
Li Xuandu kicked him without hesitation, "Be careful that your words will be heard by the palace officials and cut off your tongue."
Hu Liang couldn't help but shrink his neck. Thinking of the "fame" of the palace official in the world, even though he was brave and a little angry, he turned around and said, "Old Li, if you have anything to do, don't always hold it alone. Tell me, let's take it together."
Li Xuandu let out a breath of turbid air, "This is too big, we can't stand it, it's enough to rot in my stomach."
When Hu Liang heard him say this, he knew the importance of it, so he stopped asking, "When he arrived in Jiangling, he was at Brother Song's territory. When he was in the imperial capital, he repeatedly said that he wanted us to visit his Fenglei Sect so that he could have the friendship of the landlord. Since we arrived in Jiangling this time, it would be difficult for us to stay away from the door."
Speaking of this, Hu Liang learned from the style of people who like to make friends in the world, clasped his fists and shook his head and said, "Song's hero is so powerful that Jiangling, we have always been respectful, but we are just missing one side, so we should visit you one or two."
When the little girl saw this scene, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Hu Liang didn't reply, "Girl, learn a little. In the future, when you walk alone, you must learn to say some scenes. Some people in the world don't have much real skills. The four words "Not the name is true" are talking about them, but they have a lot of skills to seek fame and reputation. They like to flatter each other the most. If you don't praise them, you will sweep their faces and they will hold a grudge against you. Unless you can flatten them with one sword like Lao Li back then, your path in the world will become narrower and narrower, and you will eventually be unable to move forward."
Li Xuan shook his head helplessly and said, "Shuning is still young, why do you tell her about these things? Besides, in the future, Shuning must be the disciple of the Xuannv Sect, and there are all the senior sisters of the Xuannv Sect above. Who would make things difficult for her in this regard?"
Hu Liang sighed and said, "If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer a loss in front of you."
Li Xuan didn't say anything, and was touched by Hu Liang's words, and his thoughts gradually drifted away. He remembered another world. There were not so many swords and swords, there were not so many conspiracies, and even the twelve sects of the right way and ten evil ways. There were no Qingluan Guards, and there were no temple masters. At most, they were bandits and bandits blocked the road and robbed them. After being easily defeated by the young hero in white, they knelt down and begged for mercy. Then the young hero waved his hand and scattered like birds and beasts. Or in a county town, there was a priest teasing a good girl in the street. The young hero stepped forward to teach her a lesson, and then floated away as the girl wanted to speak and was still slacking off. Or in a situation where he encountered a bad slave servant who bullied the lonely and weak, he didn't care that you were from the government office. After being knocked over to the ground, he left a few pieces of broken silver and whipped away.
This is the world before Li Xuandu was fifteen years old.
The water in that river and lake is very clear.
The water in this world is very turbid now.
But later, as Li Xuandu experienced more things, he found that the so-called heroic and righteousness might not have a good result. For example, he saved those weak and lonely people, but after he left, the evil slaves and servants would become worse, and even the money he left would fall into the hands of those bullies. He also saved Chen Guhong and the palace official, but it turned out to be a disaster for the He family and the Long family.
So over the years, he has rarely taken the initiative to fight, and most of them are watching coldly and will not take action easily.
He often wondered what was wrong with this world. Now he suddenly understood that the world has always been like this. He only changed himself. If he wanted to change this world, he could not treat the headache and the head and feet. He shouted when he saw injustice. There were thousands of unfair things in the world. No matter how great the powers Li Xuan had, how many unfair things could he calm down? He was covered in iron, how many nails could he have?
Zhang Suqing told him back then that there was a difference between family and country in the world, and chivalrousness was different from big or small. At that time, he did not understand the meaning.
Now he understood.
If you want to change the world, you must start from the fundamentals. You must first change the temple above the world, and then make the world peaceful through the temple. Only in a peaceful and prosperous era can people be worried and the world will be prosperous. By then, the water in the world will naturally be clear.
This is what Zhang Suqing wanted to do but failed to do.
The old man believes in one sentence: Do it even though he knows that it cannot be done.
