Shen Yuanzhong sent the two to the Taoist temple on the mountainside, watching them gradually get farther and farther away until they can't see them at all, and then they retracted their gaze.

Chen Wuxing couldn't help but speak, "Father, are you really going to Beimang Mountain?"

Shen Yuanzhong said: "There are two kinds of results when I go. One is that my father was able to return from Beim Mountain, or the great elder of Taiping Sect. The other is that I died in Beim Mountain for my father. These two results are naturally different. But if I don't go to Beim Mountain, then there will be only one consequence. My reputation is corrupt and my despicable for thousands of years. Li Xuandu took the opportunity to take off the hat of the great elder. Do you think I will go for my father or not?"

Chen Wuluo was speechless.

Shen Yuan sighed again: "Fortunate, you have to remember that power struggles are never going to be a turn, because as long as one link makes mistakes, you will be defeated. Power struggles are actually more like the fight in our world, with stability, accuracy and ruthlessness, clear goals, and no dragging on the mud, striving to achieve success in one blow. As for whether it is unexpected and whether it shows wisdom, it is all intricate. Take today's affairs as an example. Are Li Xuan's methods used very complicated? It is not complicated at all, not only not complicated, but it can even be said to be very simple, so simple that you can see through it at a glance. Is it clever? It is effective, because I can't refuse. Just like you kill someone with a sword, what is a clever sword technique? Kill someone with a sword, this is clever. If you can't kill someone, how many virtual and real tricks you hide in the sword technique are all fancy and useless."

Chen Wuxing said angrily: "I don't think he is of great significance."

Shen Yuan glanced at him again and wanted to scold him, but when he said that, he turned into a sigh: "If it were you, would you have such a means?"

Chen Wuxing said: "Why didn't there be any? Isn't it just a way to block the words?"

Shen Yuanzhong said: "The reason why Li Xuandu can block me with words is that he first proposed to lead the way to Beimang Mountain, and then let me go with him. In terms of status, he is the sect leader, and I am the great elder, just like the emperor and the prime minister. Now the emperor wants to lead the army in person. If you are the prime minister, you still have to be afraid of death and dare not come forward? This is the root cause. You said you can do it too. I ask you, even if you have the cultivation level of the Heavenly Realm, will you dare to go to Beimang Mountain to find the bad luck of the earth master?"

Chen Wuxuan opened his mouth and couldn't speak.

To be fair, two generations of sect leaders were harmed by the Earth Master. Although many Taiping Sect disciples were full of hatred, they were inevitably mixed with unspeakable fear. How can the Earth Master cultivate? The battle in Yunjinshan has been fully revealed. Don’t say that it is a mere state of heavenly humans and freedom. Even if it is a state of heavenly humans and creation, it is difficult to fight back. How dare he die?

Yes, to die, in Shen Wuxing's opinion, going to Beimang Mountain is to die, so he tried his best to prevent his father from going to Beimang Mountain.

Shen Yuanzhong turned around and walked up the mountain.

Chen Wuxuan stood there, his expression changing unstable.

On the other hand, after Li Xuandu and Qin Su left Yujian Peak, they did not return to Taiping Palace, but went directly to Tianshui Pavilion. Although Tianshui Pavilion was built on a cliff, there was a plank road similar to Shu Road connecting the mountain road, and there was a dedicated person to serve him.

This is the benefit of the lord of the sect. Not long after Li Xuandu came back, a disciple asked for instructions on whether to eat. Li Xuandu thought about it, nodded in agreement, and said to Qin Su: "It's just right, you can also use some food together."

Qin Su originally wanted to refuse, but Li Xuan said first: "I heard from Mrs. Lu that the chef in charge of Tianshui Pavilion is proficient in Qi and Shu cuisine. You are from Liaodong and you should be familiar with Qi cuisine, but you should eat less Shu cuisine, so you might as well try it."

Logically speaking, as Qin Su's identity, he should have eaten any delicacies, but Qin Su really doesn't have such good fortune because of fasting.

The two sat opposite each other, and soon after, a female disciple brought wine and food to them.

Qin Su just glanced at it and said, "I heard that the rich and wealthy Taiping Sect have been around for a long time. When I saw it today, it was indeed unusual."

All the tableware used by the two were luxurious and beautiful. The chopsticks were ivory, the wine glasses were made of jade, and the plates were fired in the official kilns of the previous dynasty. It was not difficult to collect them in ordinary ways, but most of them were placed in furnaces and bottles, but not many of them were used for use.

Qin Su looked at today's main course again and saw that there was only one small cabbage soaked in the clear soup, which was inconsistent with the beauty of the cup. He couldn't help but ask: "Zifu, what kind of dish is this?"

Li Xuandu replied: "This dish is called 'Qingshui Cabbage', but it also has another name, 'Surface Clean'."

"How do you say this?" Qin Su asked.

Li Xuandu smiled and said, "When I was in Dijing, I had this dish. It is said that this dish should be boiled with ham, chicken and duck meat and water for twelve hours, then remove the meat, leaving only a pot of thick soup. Then boil the soup and put the meat paste into the pot. The impurities of the soup will be absorbed on the meat paste. When I lift the pot, I will remove the meat paste. At the same time, the oil flower must be squished during the cooking process. After this, I will only be left with a bowl of clear and clear soup. Divide this bowl of clear soup into two parts, and part of it is used to steam cabbage.

After steaming the cabbage, pour out the lighter soup and pour another part of the original soup, and it becomes this "clean water cabbage". This is called eating meat without seeing meat. It is like the clothes of a high-ranking official and noble. The same eight sets of clothes are the same at first glance, but when you look closely, you will find that the details are different. They don’t want others to see it at a glance after changing clothes. Only after looking carefully can you find that eight sets of clothes a day can you show that noble people are superior to others, second, third and fourth, and the same principle is the same for eating vegetables."

Although Qin Su came from a wealthy family, she often traveled outside and fasted for many years. She was naturally not proficient in everything she paid attention to. Unexpectedly, this seemingly simple dish had so many things to pay attention to, and she couldn't help but sigh: "It's really 'super honest'."

Li Xuan smiled: "I don't know who ordered this dish. This is a sarcasm that I was crying for starvation and suffering from the world, but I just sat in this high Tianshui Pavilion to enjoy the delicious food, which is superficial."

Qin Su was stunned, but she didn't expect this level. After a while, she whispered: "It seems that this Taiping Sect is not peaceful either."

Li Xuan didn't care about it and said: "After all, it's a sect, so it's not so easy to listen to my orders. I still say the same thing. If you can't come in a hurry to master the Taiping Sect, you must take it slowly."

Qin Su looked at the "Qingshui Cabbage" on the table and asked, "What should I do with this dish?"

Li Xuandu said: "Of course I eat it. I only want to have a clear conscience in my work, not for others to see. What should I do? I am skeptical about what he says. Why bother what he says? If I don't eat it, I will feel guilty. So I not only want to eat it, but also invite you to eat it. They want to ruin my reputation. Even if I go, how can I be a person who is burdened by reputation? The sword immortals can do it, the devils can do it. The real villain can do it, and the hypocrite can do it."

This is where Qin Su likes Li Xuandu. He never pretends to be casual, but often reveals a little free and easy inadvertently. Qin Su remembers that his mother once said that the reason why some prodigal characters like women is actually simple, that is, they are not serious in normal times, but at critical moments, they can be serious in death. Qin Su looked at Li Xuandu again and couldn't help but think in her heart: "Is he considered it?"

Li Xuandu had eaten "Qingshui Cabbage" and suddenly sighed: "I am a person who never blames the world. Although I have never seen my parents, I don't think I am missing anything more than others. I have a master and a senior brother, and a junior sister, that is my home. I think God has treated me well, at least I didn't die in my cradle as soon as I landed. I have no strange life experience, nor have I carried the deep hatred of my parents and family, nor have I ever been unforgettable in this life.

Childhood sweethearts. I never yearn for the end of the world and never be separated for life, because it is all false, and people's hearts cannot defeat time, but I want to marry and have children because it is true, and the couple supports each other and stay together for a lifetime. In addition to these, I also want to do a little bit of strength for this world and let me die for this world. I am most likely unwilling to do it, because I am not a saint and have selfish intentions. But if I let me stand by, I can't do it, because my heart is made of flesh, not a sarcastic heart."

Qin Su was stunned and then fell silent.

Li Xuan didn't even drink, but was a little drunk and asked, "I don't know what kind of scenery it is at the end of this road. I just hope that when I reach the end, there will be no regrets. Su Su, are you willing to walk with me?"
