Chapter 47 The Drunken Immortal Building
The Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th is a day for the whole family to reunite, but now the Shangqing Mansion is in a murderous atmosphere, without the meaning of a reunion festival. On the streets, there are often people from the inns. Unlike the previous events in the martial arts world, these martial arts people do not have much fun, nor do they come to make friends. They are in a hurry and occasionally stop to talk, and they are all solemn, and even their voices are much lowered.
The cause of this situation was the news released from the Dazhen Mansion not long ago that the eldest son of the Zhang clan, the eldest grandson, was dead. You should know that both Zhang Jingxiu and Zhang Jingchen, both have no descendants. Zhang Jingxiu has never married in his life. I won’t say that. Although Zhang Jingchen had a son Han Yaoyue, not many people knew about this. Han Yaoyue’s name was not on the Zhang family’s genealogy, and he did not recognize his ancestors and return to his hometown, let alone Han Yaoyue was already dead. So in fact, Zhang Yueshan’s eldest son was Zhang Shishui’s identity, and Zhang Shishui’s identity cannot be ignored.
But just that is not a big deal. The great gentleman Situ Xuance could die accidentally, and Li Xuandu, Zhang Luanshan, Yan Feiqing and others could all fall into the realm unexpectedly. Why can't Zhang Shishui die? The key is that the person who killed Zhang Shishui was actually Zhou Shuning, who was also regarded as the future leader of the Xuannv Sect.
Although Zhou Shuning and Yu Qingning are nominally senior sisters, the age difference between the two is quite different. Similar to the relationship between Zhang Jingxiu and Zhang Jingchen, the junior sister may not be able to replace the senior sister in charge of the Xuannv Sect in the future. To put it bluntly, Zhou Shuning is a candidate who "just be in case", especially when the situation is critical or when the green and yellow are not in charge, the sect cannot tolerate a young sect leader growing slowly, and people of peers need to take over as the sect leader. Take this Yuxu Fighting Sword for example. If Xiao Shiyu has any accidents and the Xuannv Sect is attacked by the Pinnv Sect again, it should be Shi Wuyue, the uncle who is the master, should take charge of the sect. The same principle is the same as Zhang Jingchen's master.
This is interesting. The future sect leader of Xuannv Sect killed the future great master of Zhengyi Sect? Not to mention whether it was a mistake, it was unusual for the two to fight. The alliance of the six sects of Zhengdao is similar to the five sects in the northwest and the five sects of Liaodong. Xuannv Sect and Zhengyi Sect are both the six sects of Zhengdao, but the successors of both sides had a conflict. Is it said that Xuannv Sect intends to rebel against the six sects of Zhengdao? Or is the alliance of the six sects of Zhengdao already broken? If Xuannv Sect wants to rebel against the six sects of Zhengdao, they must rebel against the new lord, so it is not difficult to guess who the new lord is.
As expected, the second news released in the Dazhen Mansion quickly confirmed many people's speculations. The new Grand Master Zhang Jingchen sincerely invited Mr. Qingping, the sect leader of Taiping Sect, to come to the Dazhen Mansion to discuss the resolution of the matter. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this matter has gradually deviated from the scope of personal grievances, but a contest between the two major forces within the Taoist sect, and all grievances are just an excuse.
There are two views on this matter in the world.
One view is that Zhang Jingchen takes advantage of the issue, because after the old master Zhang Jingxiu ascended, the status of the Great Zhen Mansion in the world will inevitably decline. The original balance of the three masters of the Great Zhen Man has been broken. It is not Zhang Jingchen who is most likely to replace Zhang Jingxiu, but Li Xuandu, the rising star. Zhang Jingxiu has to attack instead of defending.
Another view is that Li Xuandu takes action first, because after Li Xuandu rises, it is inevitable that he will damage the original forces by expanding means. The four Zhengdao sects and the five Liaodong sects are Li Xuandu's "father clan" and "wife clan" respectively, and they are allies, so it is difficult to move lightly, so Li Xuandu can only start from the six Zhengdao sects and secretly win over the traditional sphere of influence of Cihang Sect, Xuannv Sect, and Zhengyi Sect, which has been constantly eroded, and Zhang Jingchen had to fight to the death in helplessness.
No matter what view it is, it reveals the fundamental reason for this battle, and it is a power struggle.
Li Xuandu and Lan Xuanshuang set off from Zhongzhou and only took half a day to arrive at Shangqing Mansion. At this time, most of the inns in the city were already full, except for the only inn. This inn has some relationship with the Dazhen Mansion and is also the place where Zhengyi Sect used to serve guests. Even if there is a free room, ordinary people in the martial arts world cannot check in, and no one can find it uncomfortable. Everyone knows that this is for Mr. Qingping.
The inn is close to the lake and the scenery is excellent. Li Xuandu and Lan Xuanshuang come to the inn, but they see the flying eaves and the three words "Zuixianlou" written by a great master are hung at the top of the building, which is extraordinary.
When the two walked into the inn, a friend came up and said apologetically: "This guest official, this store has been conquered. Please move to other places objectively. I'm really sorry."
The architectural layout here is quite strange. The second floor is half smaller than the lobby on the first floor. Standing on the second floor, you can look at the first floor by the railing.
At this moment, someone stood on the railing and said, "Zi Mansion, you are here."
The guy obviously recognized Qin Su. Those who could open an inn here must be well-informed. They did not tell me a lot about many things in the world, but also heard about them. When Qin Su said the word "Purple Mansion" from his mouth, he didn't know that the main owner had arrived, so he didn't dare to say too much, so he hurriedly retreated aside.
Li Xuandu walked into the first floor lobby and said, "You are here first?"
Before Qin Su could answer, someone said, "Zhang Jingchen spread this matter to the world. We have known it for a long time. Even if the Zi Mansion has not contacted us, we will come to help the Zi Mansion, so we all set out early to come to Shangqing Mansion. In fact, when the Zi Mansion was still in Zhongzhou, we had already arrived."
While talking, many figures appeared on the second floor, all of whom were familiar with Li Xuandu. In addition to Qin Su, there were Shi Wuyue and Ning Yi, Su Yunxian and Yan Feiqing, Li Feiyan and Lu Yanbing, Yu Qingning and Shen Changsheng. The person who spoke just now was Mrs. Lu.
Li Xuandu clasped his fists and said, "If you are tired, Li Xuandu is inexplicably frightened."
"I dare not take it, I dare not take it." Everyone bowed and returned the favor.
Lu Yanbing said: "It turns out that my senior brother has made contact, why didn't I know? Could it be that my senior brother treats me as an outsider as an outsider?"
Lu Yanbing was not in the Qingping Club, and Li Xuan didn't even bother to say it clearly, saying, "I asked my aunt to tell you, if you feel negligent, then I'll accompany you."
Lu Yanbing waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I really don't dare to take it."
After the greetings, Li Xuan took Lan Xuanshuang upstairs and saw that the banquet had been set up on the second floor. There were either two people or three people or one table, but Qin Su's only son had one table.
Li Xuan knew very well that this was left for him, so he sat next to Qin Su and asked Lan Xuanshuang to sit opposite him.
Qin Su had already had some guesses when she saw Lan Xuanshuang and tentatively said: "Is this 'female crown'?"
Lan Xuanshuang is also a smart person and immediately guessed Qin Su's identity, "Are you 'Jinwudao'?"
Qin Suhan nodded with a smile. In fact, her identity is not a secret in the Qingping Association. Not to mention the people who belong to the inn, everyone knows the relationship between Li Xuandu and Qin Su, so Li Xuandu will probably also pull Qin Su into the Qingping Association. Although there are many women in the Qingping Association, there are only three who are not married. Thinking of the name of the lyrics, it is easy to guess.
Lan Xuanshuang hesitated for a moment, "Ask a pity, what is the relationship between this... sister and Zifu?"
Li Xuandu said: "She is my wife who has not passed away."
Lan Xuanshuang suddenly said, "So that's it."
Qin Su smiled and said, "My surname is Qin, and the word "Su" is the only word "White Shui". Just call me "White Shui".
After saying that, Qin Su looked at Li Xuandu again, "Zi Mansion, haven't you told me yet, where did you find this ally?"
Li Xuandu roughly said the story of his acquaintance with Lan Xuanshuang. After hearing this, Qin Su said, "But I can't call her sister anymore. I'll call her Mrs. Lan."
Lan Xuanshuang smiled and said, "This is okay."
Originally, Lan Xuanshuang wanted to ask if the "Huanxisha" had arrived, but after knowing Qin Su's identity, she wisely swallowed the problem back. No matter what, she would rely on Mr. Qingping in the future. It was not a good thing to offend his wife. The wind in the south and north is not as good as the wind beside her pillow, and it has not changed since ancient times.
While the few were talking, Lan Xuanshuang suddenly glanced at the corner of her eyes and saw someone walking quietly up the second floor, wearing a stone-green crane buckle, with big sleeves floating, and a chic look.
After this person appeared, the originally very lively second floor suddenly became quiet.
Lan Xuanshuang was directly facing a great enemy. She recognized this person as the person who appeared in the tenth battle of the Confucian Sect during the Yuxu Sword Fighting Sword. Moreover, her realm cultivation is only one line away from the immortal realm. A person who can even let her see through must be the immortal realm cultivation.
Li Xuan was still calm, poured himself a glass of wine and said calmly: "What are you here to do?"
Song Zheng, carrying his hands on his back, stood at the stairs, and chuckled, "I'm invited."
"Whose invitation is received? Zhang Jingchen?" Li Xuan looked at Song Zheng.
Song Zheng said: "What, isn't it possible?"
Li Xuan frowned and did not speak immediately.
Li Xuan didn't say anything, someone spoke for him, and Shi Wuyue shouted, "This is our own business, why should you do it?"
Song Zheng looked at Shi Wuyue with a gentle smile, "Daomen, am I not a member of the Daomen? Or is the so-called Daomen unification just an empty word? In fact, it is just a means and slogan to eliminate dissidents."
Qin Su took over the conversation, "Of course the unification of the Taoist sect is not empty talk. Zi Mansion, my father and the Great Sword Immortal have also sincerely invited the Holy Lord. After all, the Holy Lord is the sect leader of Wudao Sect and the leader of the five northwest sects. I just don't know which sect Mr. Song came from? As far as I know, the Holy Lord once said that Mr. Song was not a member of Wudao Sect. He wouldn't have been under the Zhengyi Sect?"
"Yin and Yang Sect." Song Zheng suddenly said.
Qin Su was stunned.
