Chapter 79: Mountaineering
The world is very big, covering two capitals and 19 states, from Liaodong to Lingnan, from imperial capital to Xijing, and in the four seas, there are rivers and lakes everywhere. However, the top-level world is very small, and only a hundred people are counted, and there are only a hundred people. The relationships between these more than one hundred people are complicated, just like a huge spider web, everyone can get some friendship between marriage and old friends on the Internet. Take Li Xuandu and Bai Xiushang for example. They were originally irrelevant, but if you really want to discuss it in detail, Li Xuandu would not have to call him mother-in-law in the future. After all, Cihang Sect has no rules that the sect leader cannot get married. Qin Qing was a widower for many years because of his daughter. After his daughter got married and got married, it was reasonable to remarry again. By then, Bai Xiushang would have become Li Xuandu's mother-in-law.
Of course, this is not Li Xuandu's unreasonable guess, but Bai Xiushang's subtle attitude towards Li Xuandu made Li Xuan think deeply in this regard. Although the women of Cihang Sect are good at dancing and are not as straight and close as those of Xuannv Sect, with Bai Xiushang's identity, this kind of closeness is a bit too much. But if Li Xuan treats Bai Xiushang as an elder, this kind of closeness becomes just right. Perhaps this is the so-called mother-in-law's view of the son-in-law.
Whenever he thinks of this, Li Xuan always feels that things in the world are so absurd.
As for the marriage between Li Xuandu and Qin Su, why no one stopped him from opposing him, he was happy to see it. The key lies in the four words "With cooperation, both benefits".
From Qin Su's perspective, her character is too indifferent, wandering outside the world, and hiding in the mountains and rivers. If she wants to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the family sect in the future, she may still have doubts, so she needs a strong enough husband to support her. But if it is a sect leader like Li Yuanying and Yan Feiqing, she is worried about occupying the nest. In this regard, no one is more suitable than Li Xuan.
For Li Xuandu, after Li Xuandu lost power, he had no shortage of identity, status and fame. Being a transcendent hermit who sent love to mountains and rivers is enough. But if you want to do something, you lack the two most important things, both money and power. Qin Su is known as "Miss Qin" in the martial arts world, and he is the most lacking in these two things. If Li Xuan can marry Qin Su, he will have the help of his wife and help him show his ambitions.
In other words, the two just complement each other.
It is hard to say that Li Xuandu and Qin Su have not considered this in the process of acquaintance. After all, they are not young and are not young men in the world. If they have never thought about it at all, it would be self-deception. But if they really say that they chose each other purely for their own interests, they would be too low. As the two of them, even if they are not married, they would not be fine, because Qin Qing would not force Qin Su, and Li Xuan was not Li Daoxu, who was poor and could only gain the title by marriage. There was no need for the two to compromise, nor was there to cater to each other. The key was whether the two were willing.
Just like a person has many faces, not just a face. Being good or bad between two people is definitely not the same reason. There are feelings and interests. If the relationship and interests conflict, you have to consider and weigh them. Only by giving up can you gain. If the two do not conflict, it is a perfect match for both worlds.
From this point of view, Li Xuandu and Qin Su can really be called a match made by heaven.
Li Xuandu stayed at Taiping Inn for a night. The next day, a sword light fell from the sky and landed in the inn courtyard. After the sword light dissipated, a woman in white clothes appeared, carrying a sword behind her back and tied her hair with a high crown, like a white-clothed Guanyin, who was Bai Xiushang, the leader of Cihang Sect.
Li Xuandu walked out of the lobby and greeted Bai Xiushang.
Bai Xiushang apologized: "Some chores in the sect need to be handled. I've been waiting for a few days later. "
Li Xuandu smiled and said, "I haven't waited long. I just arrived yesterday. I have met Mrs. Lu, and she has no objection. If Master Bai had nothing to do, we will climb the mountain together now. Mrs. Lu has arranged for a special person to wait."
Bai Xiushang nodded: "Okay."
Li Xuan hesitated for a moment and said, "But this mountain climbing trip will not be peaceful."
"Taiping Mountain is not peaceful." Bai Xiushang smiled lightly and said, "This is the matter of Zi Mansion. With Zi Mansion's ability, it should be enough to deal with it. I will never let the old woman protect me, right?"
Li Xuandu smiled: "Xuan is enough to deal with it. In addition, Master Bai is not old at all and is in his prime."
Bai Xiushang smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Zi Mansion would praise people, no wonder Su Su fell in love with you."
Li Xuandu said: "Actually, everyone will say beautiful words, but the key is to say whoever says it."
Bai Xiushang laughed it off.
The two left Taiping Inn and headed for Taiping Mountain.
The Taiping Mountain is full of mountains and is all private property of the Taiping Sect. From the foot of the mountain to the hillside, there are stone steps built. The two of them climbed up the stone steps in the mountains. After walking for about an hour, they could see the continuous terraced fields, with clear layers. From a distance, they looked like steps built for gods in the sky. However, at this time, the farmers in the terraced fields were not seen working hard. After passing the large terraced fields, the mountain road gradually became steep, and the mountains were undulating and unstable, and the mountains became more and more rugged and difficult to move.
After walking for several miles, a thin black boy appeared on the mountain road. After seeing Li Xuandu, he hurriedly came over.
The boy was Shen Changsheng who had been around for a long time. He saluted Li Xuandu first, then looked at Bai Xiushang who was walking with Li Xuandu, and hesitated for a moment.
Li Xuandu smiled and said, "This is the Bai Sect Master of Cihang Sect."
Shen Changsheng hurriedly saluted and said, "My younger generation Shen Changsheng has met Master Bai."
Bai Xiushang just waved her sleeves gently: "No need to be too polite."
Li Xuandu suddenly said, "Why did Mrs. Lu send you here? Are you worried about others, or is she unable to control the situation of Taiping Sect now?"
Shen Changsheng was slightly stunned, and then he felt admiration, saying, "Mr. Li guessed well. In the past few days, the Taiping Palace has been quarreling in a hurry. It has been quarreling during the day and at night, endlessly. The boss's wife... She has no choice but to do anything about her, master... He has suffered another accident. In the past few days, the lady sighs all day long and is almost worried."
Li Xuandu and Bai Xiushang looked at each other and knew it in their hearts.
Shen Changsheng looked right and said, "Mrs. asked me to tell Mr. Li that as long as Mr. Li stepped onto Taiping Mountain, he would have to make a big fight. Maybe he would have to use less to hit more. After all, there are still many people who are not convinced by Mr. Li."
Li Xuan was not surprised.
The alternation of new and old sect leaders means that the original power structure in the sect will be broken and then the power will be redistributed, which is what people often call "one emperor and one minister". In this case, even if the sect leader is transferred normally, it will inevitably cause trouble, let alone the abnormal alternation of Li Xuandu. The new sect leader is not even a disciple of the sect. It is fine if it is just that. There are many external forces behind Li Xuandu, and anyone will be worried. Therefore, even if this is Mr. Shen’s instructed arrangement, it will cause many doubts.
Chen Changsheng continued, "Mrs. I also said that if Mr. Li cannot come to Taiping Palace smoothly, she will be unimaginable."
Li Xuan pondered for a moment: "Bully the less with the more."
Chen Changsheng nodded: "Those people think that fighting alone is definitely not Mr. Li's opponent, so they have to attack him in groups."
Bai Xiushang smiled and said, "Don't worry about Zi Mansion. In addition to me, there are many tourists on the way. Taiping Sect can't do anything to use the power of the sect to deal with Zi Mansion alone."
Li Xuandu said: "I am not afraid of this. After all, the reason why I can gain a foothold in the world is the ability to fight with others. Over the years, I have met countless opponents, not to mention that my debut battle is what people in the world call competing with Heshuo heroes. But this time it is different. It is not a life-and-death battle, and there is room for maneuver, so the scale of taking action is very important. I am afraid that I will take too much action, which will reduce the face of some people and make it difficult for the situation to recover."
Bai Xiushang nodded and agreed: "After all, we are guests, not masters. If Zifu is a legitimate disciple of Taiping Sect, we can naturally suppress it completely. Unfortunately, Zifu is an outsider, so we really have to leave some room."
Li Xuandu spread his five fingers and a "seed" appeared in his palm, spinning continuously.
Chen Changsheng widened his eyes and asked curiously: "What is this?"
Li Xuandu closed his five fingers again, held the "seed" in his palm, and smiled and said, "This is my 'human world'."
