Chapter 116: Life is like a dragon and a tiger
On the misty street, a man and a woman were walking with umbrellas.
The man was a scholar in white clothes, with long hair like ink, clear and bright eyes, and an elegant temperament, which attracted many women to look back.
The woman was even more stunning, with eyes like lacquer, skin as white as snow, hair tied up with a jade hairpin like dark blue clouds, a willow waist and lotus steps, and she stood tall and graceful like a beautiful crabapple blossom.
With her slim and beautiful silk dress, she looked just like a young and delicate wife who had just gotten married, except that her eyes were a little too cold.
The two walked side by side, like a golden boy and a jade girl , attracting countless people's attention.
Li Daoxuan and Chen Ziyu did not speak, but just strolled quietly in the misty rain of Jiangnan, walking past the red walls and black tiles, and stepping through the muddy alleys.
He looked at Sister Yu, his face a little conflicted, but he finally shouted out.
"Ma...Madam?"
Although he knew that the two were just fake, Li Daoxuan's heartbeat still quickened when he shouted these two words.
Chen Ziyu lowered her eyes slightly, and after a long time, she uttered a word.
"I'm a little... I can't tell."
She should have called him husband.
Chen Ziyu raised her head, looked at Li Daoxuan, and said, "I always feel that... you are deliberately taking advantage of me."
Li Daoxuan smiled bitterly and said, "Sister Yu, it's just pretending. Let's rehearse so that we won't be exposed later."
After thinking about it, he decided to be ruthless and force her.
"If that doesn't work, I can also put on a beard and pretend to be your father, daddy or husband. You... choose one."
Chen Ziyu stopped.
Li Daoxuan's heart skipped a beat. She wouldn't choose to do it in public, right?
You have to protect your face first...
Chen Ziyu stared at him for a long time, and finally her eyes moved, she looked away, slightly opened her red lips, and shouted out two words.
"Husband...husband?"
Li Daoxuan responded and said with a smile: "See, isn't it just called out? In fact, some things may seem impossible, but they are not that difficult to do."
"Madam, how many more times can you scream?"
"Husband... Sir."
"Oh yeah, be more coherent, and louder."
"My husband..."
"Be more gentle and try to feel like a spoiled child."
This time there was no response.
"Hiss! It hurts! Pinch gently!"
"There are so many people here, my lady, please give your husband some face!"
"ah!!!"
…
Wanshou Palace.
The young Taoist priest crawled back and found Wu Qiubai, and told him everything he had seen, including what Li Daoxuan said.
"Master, that man is so arrogant. You bought this Qingniu Temple with your own money—"
Wu Qiubai waved his hand to interrupt him and said calmly, "The female ghost in Qingniu Temple has some skills and strange means. She is very good at escaping. I tried to catch her several times but failed to subdue her. The fact that the master and disciple are safe and sound is their own ability."
"My disciple, remember, in our Taoist sect, we look at both origin and means. Although they are just wandering around, they have quite some means. What's wrong with giving them the Qingniu Temple?"
The apprentice wanted to speak, but he changed the subject.
"Disciple, your uncle Wang took me to attend the banquet hosted by the Green Lady. He should be back soon. Have you seen him outside the city?"
"In reply to Master, I haven't seen Uncle Wang."
Wu Qiubai frowned slightly and said, "This Wang Fang has always been a bit frivolous and dissolute. I'm afraid he is going somewhere to have fun again."
Shaking his head, he sighed, "It is said that the Qingyi Queen held a banquet to select the Qingming Envoy. I wonder which outstanding person can win the Queen's favor?"
…
After leaving Longyou County, Li Daoxuan took out the Chixia Sword, wore it around his waist, and used his own magic power to nourish the sword and cultivate his feelings.
Others will not doubt that it is a trend for scholars to carry swords. The famous poet Li Bai never leaves his sword.
But most of them are just for decoration, and there are not many scholars who can really use swordsmanship.
Both of them have magical powers. A distance of more than a hundred miles is very far for ordinary people, but for them, it is just a matter of an hour.
This is still a winding and rugged mountain road.
An hour later.
Li Daoxuan and Chen Ziyu entered Jianglang Mountain.
All I saw were vast mountains, verdant forests, hidden dragon pools, flowing tiger springs, what a beautiful scenery.
Jianglang Mountain is a famous scenic spot in later generations, but now it is a dangerous place with few people. The first thing to be noticed are the three huge rocks towering into the sky. It is said that they were formed by three brothers named Jiang climbing the mountain in ancient times, so it is also called Jianglang Mountain.
Because it had just rained, misty clouds were floating in the lush forests of Jianglang Mountain. It was truly a magical scene with mist , and the sky and mountains were condensed into one color, and the clouds and peaks merged into one, like a fairyland.
No wonder the poet Bai Juyi praised it: "I wish my body could grow wings so that I could travel with you in the mist and clouds."
The scenery was beautiful, but it was not so easy to climb up as the mountain path was narrow and dangerous. In order to make the show more dramatic, Li Daoxuan no longer used the art of shrinking the earth after entering Jianglang Mountain.
Chen Ziyu was not tired. Her body and soul were so light that she could easily cross any steep mountain road.
Li Daoxuan was in a more embarrassing situation and needed to use both his hands and feet.
After walking for a while, they finally entered the depths of the mountains. The ground began to level out, and they found traces of people walking on it.
Li Daoxuan knew that they were approaching the Yaowang Village.
"Yu...Madam, I'm going to go get some water."
Chen Ziyu did not say anything, but looked quietly to the northwest. A small village could be vaguely seen deep in the clouds.
As she was dressed in red, she was very sensitive to Yin energy and began to sense something strange.
Li Daoxuan came to a stream, scooped up some spring water and started drinking it.
After climbing for so long, his mouth was a little dry.
But as he was drinking, he suddenly found something floating in front of him. It was a turban. Li Daoxuan's face turned black and he quickly spat out the water in his mouth.
Immediately afterwards, a few more red hairs floated along the stream .
Li Daoxuan used his Dharma Eyes to see that a strong evil aura was lingering around those red hairs.
He fished out the red hair and frowned, "Strange, what kind of beast's hair is this?"
Suddenly, his eyes focused, and he saw a figure floating down the river in the distance. It was a man whose life or death was unknown. He was wearing a black robe, holding a halberd tightly. He was nine feet tall, with broad shoulders and three parts of his face, a square face, big ears, a straight nose and a square mouth. Anyone who saw him would exclaim, "What a mighty man!"
But at this moment, he closed his eyes and his face was pale, like a floating corpse.
Li Daoxuan was using his Dharma Eyes at this moment, and when he saw this person, he couldn't help but marvel in amazement.
He was seriously injured, but even so he did not die. Moreover, this person's fate was like that of a dragon and a tiger, and he had an extraordinary aura. Even in a desperate situation, he still had a majestic spirit, and ordinary ghosts could not get close to him.
I'm afraid that even if he doesn't meet Li Daoxuan, this person will definitely be rescued and will not die easily.
Of course, meeting me is also a reflection of his luck.
Li Daoxuan didn't think much and reached out to pull him up.
"My goodness, he doesn't look fat, but he's really heavy!"
Even with Li Daoxuan's arm strength, he still felt it was a bit heavy, which shows how extraordinary this man is.
When he saw the man's wounds, Li Daoxuan's eyes fixed. He saw that a large piece of flesh had been bitten off from his left arm, there were claw marks deep into the bones below his waist, and there were many red hairs on his body.
But even though he was so badly injured, he still held the halberd tightly in his hand.
Li Daoxuan stretched out his hand and smelled a breath of air.
"Meeting me is your destiny."
As he spoke, he took out a talisman for longevity.
