After returning to the city, Li Xiuping first found a place to stay, while Master Huo Ling was responsible for inquiring about the situation of the nearby forces. It didn't take long to get a clear picture of the situation nearby, and even found out about the Fang family and Zui. Moon Valley relationship.
In this way, everyone can be sure that the backer behind the Fang family is Zuiyue Valley.
According to what Master Huo Ling learned, the owner of Zuiyue Valley is a monk in the God Transformation stage, and he is also the only powerful person in the God Transformation stage among the nearby forces.
It's no wonder that they all beat away a strong man at the Nascent Soul stage, but the Fang family dared to stop them. Their relationship was based on Zuiyue Gu and that person at the God Transformation stage.
After listening to Master Huo Ling's story, Li Xiuping asked, "Senior, do you know about Zuiyue Valley?"
The layman Qingming shook his head and said: "I have never heard that the entire world of cultivation is not big or small. I can usually remember some forces similar to the Nine Sects. Forces like Zuiyue Valley are in the eyes of many people. It is indeed powerful in the eyes, but in the entire world of cultivation, it is just a dispensable existence."
Li Xiuping nodded. Indeed, he now has some understanding of the entire cultivation world. A person like Zuiyue Valley with a strong man in the God Transformation stage is indeed not weak, but the impact on the entire cultivation world is minimal, even Can be ignored.
The layman Qingming continued: "How about I go directly to Zuiyue Valley?"
Li Xiuping shook his head and said, "It's going to be a waste of time anyway, so it's better to wait here and wait for work."
The layman Qingming nodded and said: "Before Zuiyue Valley arrives, as long as we don't leave, the Fang family should not dare to take action. It just happens that we can take advantage of this time to cultivate well."
As soon as she heard that she was finally going to stop and rest for a few days, Chu Yan was filled with joy, but unfortunately she withered away after Li Xiuping's words.
Li Xiuping nodded and said: "Then it's up to you, senior, to teach them how to practice. Senior also knows that my practice is different from ordinary people, so it's difficult to come up with effective methods based on their practice. Erni can still Well, Yan'er's situation really makes me a little embarrassed."
The layman Qingming then looked at Chu Yan, nodded and said: "This is easy to do. Taking her to experience the scenery of a higher realm will naturally break her existing shackles."
He continued: "It seems that it won't be long before this girl can start building the foundation. Tsk tsk, the foundation is built when she is less than ten years old. Looking at the entire cultivation world, I'm afraid I really can't find anyone else."
Li Xiuping smiled and said: "Talent is important, but you also need someone like a layman to guide you. It would be difficult for someone else to do it every three to five years."
The layman Qingming laughed and said: "This is the truth. If it were anyone else, not even the sword master from Xijianchi, or even your senior brother Qi, might not be able to solve her current problem."
He continued: "Leave her to me. Within three days, I guarantee she will be replaced by someone else."
Li Xiuping nodded and said: "As long as the current situation can be solved, as for foundation building, there is no rush for now."
Master Qingming said with a smile: "If this little girl really wants to build a foundation, there will definitely be a lot of noise. However, it is up to you, the master, to decide how to build the foundation. This is not something I can solve."
Li Xiuping said helplessly: "It seems that I need to read more books."
Layman Qingming smiled slightly, stood up and said, "Little girl, come with me."
Chu Yan looked at Li Xiuping, and Li Xiuping waved his hand to signal her to follow the layman Qingming, so the little girl got up and followed him, with some expectations. After all, according to what the layman said to her master, she would probably It's time to build a foundation.
In fact, she didn't know when to build the foundation and what would happen after the foundation was established, and she didn't really care. She just felt that the higher her realm, the stronger her strength would be. Maybe when the master is in danger, That will help.
At least, if she encounters the same situation as the senior sister encountered before, she won't be bullied like that just because her master is not around.
After Master Qingming took Chu Yan away, only Li Xiuping, Bishui Qilin, Huoling Zhenren and Yang Erni were left.
Li Xiuping looked at Yang Erni at this time and asked: "You can obviously start practicing Qi tomorrow, so why haven't you entered the Qi training period until now? What are you worried about?"
Yang Erni hurriedly shook her head and said: "No, the disciple just thinks that there can be some progress during the training period, so I want to wait."
Li Xiuping nodded and said: "It is true that there can be some progress, but in fact it will not have any impact on future practice. However, since you have your own ideas, then practice according to your own ideas. As long as you can calm down. Being angry is not a bad thing.”
Hearing this, Yang Erni was obviously relieved.
Li Xiuping said to the blue water unicorn: "Go and keep an eye on the Fang family. If anything happens, just take action without holding back."
The green water unicorn stood up and left.
After Bishui Qilin left, Master Huo Ling asked: "Is it really possible that Kunlun Mountain will intervene in this matter?"
Li Xiuping shook his head and said: "Not necessarily, it's just my guess."
He found that Master Huo Ling was obviously worried, so he continued: "Although Kunlun Mountain may take action against me, the possibility of direct intervention is not very high. It is very likely that it will use the power of Zuiyue Valley to prevent me from going south. For them, as long as I can't go south and can't see the senior Flower Fairy, their goal will be achieved."
Master Huo Ling frowned and said: "I don't understand. Isn't the main purpose of Kunlun Mountain now to deal with the demons? Why should the target be placed on you?"
The reason for this was a bit troublesome to explain, so Li Xiuping had no intention of explaining it, but smiled and said: "Master, you, a Taoist disciple, don't even know it, and I, an outsider, can't possibly know it. Maybe it's because I am now the Junior Master of Guanchao Academy, and I represent the entire Confucian school. They are worried that my recovery will threaten the status of Taoism."
Master Huo Ling nodded, this explanation makes sense.
He is a member of the Taoist sect, so he naturally knows about this so-called factional dispute.
The so-called factional dispute is actually not just about status, but about their respective inheritances, and about who is more orthodox. For this reason, Taoism does not hesitate to suppress Confucianism. If it were not for the Buddhist guys who practice behind closed doors, Regardless of the external affairs, the battle three hundred years ago was probably not just a matter between Confucianism and Taoism.
Master Huo Ling just couldn't figure out what the meaning of doing this was.
In the dispute between Confucianism and Taoism three hundred years ago, Taoism seemed to have won a complete victory. In recent years, it has also continued to suppress Guanchao Academy, so that even the position of Mountain Master has been vacant for more than two hundred years. But in the past three hundred years, However, the number of Confucian disciples has not decreased. Although they can only occupy one holy land in front of them, their influence in this world is no worse than that of Taoism. Coupled with the existence of Buddhism, it is still a three-legged situation.
In other words, although Taoism suppressed Guanchao Academy, it failed to curb the fate of Confucianism. On the contrary, it allowed Buddhism to take advantage. Not only did it have the right to use the ancient battlefield ruins for three hundred years, but it also It has the momentum to overwhelm Taoism.
The key point is that those guys from Buddhism have really done nothing in the past three hundred years. Even if Taoism wants to take action, there is no suitable reason. In addition, Buddhism and Confucianism are also different. If they really want to take action against Buddhism directly, they will only make Taoism fall into trouble. Difficult situation, and because of Confucian affairs, Taoists should also realize that such suppression is actually ineffective. There are only two reasons why they still take action against Li Xiuping now.
One is that Li Xiuping is now the junior master uncle of the academy, and he is also a being who can refine elixirs and forge swords. He has a strong man like Jiuxian behind him as a backer. If he is allowed to grow, Confucianism will inevitably grow stronger. When the time comes, he may avenge the hatred he suffered three hundred years ago.
One is that since this thing has been done, no matter whether it is right or wrong, we can only continue. Even if it is wrong, as long as Li Xiuping is dead, right or wrong will naturally not matter, because once Li Xiuping dies, what is wrong is also right.
In the same way, if Li Xiuping is alive, he will probably prove for Confucianism that what Taoism is doing is wrong. This is tantamount to slapping their Taoist ancestor in the face in front of the world.
However, these things didn't have much to do with him at the beginning, and they don't matter much now. The only thing that does matter is that he is with Li Xiuping now, and he is a member of the Taoist sect after all.
He could give up his past life, not return to his previous sect, or even consider himself a member of the Taoist sect. But if Kunlun Mountain, the leader of the Taoist sect, takes action against Li Xiuping, wouldn't he become a traitor to the Taoist sect?
Some things are more important than life and death. Now that I have finally returned to this world, my end is approaching, so I can't wait until it's too late.
Then my whole life has really become a joke.
Li Xiuping said at this time: "I discussed it with the layman before, and there is actually a way to solve your situation, but you need to pay some price."
Master Huo Ling smiled and said, "Young master, are you talking about practicing the secret method that can restore your cultivation?"
Li Xiuping nodded.
Master Huo Ling shook his head and said: "Young master also knows the skills I practice, so you should also know that the Taoist secret method is different from other secret methods. Let's put it this way, you can practice other secret methods and then practice the Taoist secret method, but if you practice After mastering the Taoist secret method, it is difficult to practice other secret methods."
Li Xiuping was stunned, he really felt this.
Li Xiuping frowned, thought for a while and then asked: "The secret method that senior gave me before is obviously lacking. Presumably the secret method practiced by senior is also in the same situation. If the remaining parts can be made up, maybe it can be done." Help seniors break the shackles of the present and re-enter the Nascent Soul stage."
Master Huo Ling nodded and said: "It is true, but I really don't want to see those old stories again. Since God allowed me to die once and live with a new identity, it is telling me that the past is over, and everything has passed. It’s a thing of the past.”
Li Xiuping discovered that this old guy must have had a lot of stories in the past, and some of them were unbearable to look back on. Otherwise, after he left Penglai Immortal Boat and regained his freedom, his first consideration should be to return to his sect instead of following him. around him.
Li Xiuping smiled and said: "Senior, just think of it as helping me. Senior also knows that I also need this complete secret method now."
Master Huo Ling couldn't help but frown, looking extremely embarrassed...
