Chapter 174: Senior Sister's Past, 24th-Rank Zhengyi Mengwei Talisman
Moonlit night.
Li Daoxuan put away the Qingming Order and heard his master coughing again.
He frowned slightly, walked over, and before he could say anything, the master pointed out something to him first.
"Disciple, were you in contact with the Green-robed Lady just now?"
Li Daoxuan was stunned and said, "Yes, I want to ask about Sister Yu."
He had deliberately found a quiet place just now, so his master should not have been able to hear him, otherwise he would have warned him not to set his sights on the Hollow-Dull Ghost King.
Zhang Qianyang sighed softly and said, "Disciple, I know that you and Ziyu have feelings for each other, that's fine, but Madam Qingyi, you need to keep your distance."
Li Daoxuan was shocked and coughed, "Master, what are you talking about? There is nothing wrong between me and the Empress. It is definitely not what you think!"
Zhang Qianyang looked at him with a half-smile and said, "I have lived for so many years and have heard many legends about the Green Lady, but this is the first time I have seen her care so much about someone that she would even give him a wisp of her spirit."
He could see clearly that the green rope in his disciple's hand was actually the green hair of the Lady in Green.
This woman's black hair is not something you can give casually.
Seeing his disciple was somewhat embarrassed, he sighed softly and said, "Disciple, the Queen has lived for a thousand years and is responsible for Qingming. The karma on her is too heavy. You are not able to bear it now."
Li Daoxuan was startled. He remembered that after the "dual cultivation", he walked out of the empress's bedroom and saw her standing alone on the top of the mountain, her long skirt fluttering, overlooking all living beings, cold and lonely.
At that moment, although the two were only a few steps apart, they seemed as if separated by thousands of mountains and across thousands of oceans.
Zhang Qianyang patted his disciple on the shoulder and said, "I am just reminding you that although the Queen admires you very much, there is a difference between humans and gods. You should always reflect on yourself and don't... rely on her favor to become arrogant."
Li Daoxuan coughed. Is he becoming arrogant because of his favor?
How do you make me sound like a male concubine?
He quickly changed the subject and asked, "Master, what happened to Senior Sister Taizhen that made her leave Longhu Mountain?"
This question has troubled him for a long time. His master was planning to talk about it before, but Master Sanle happened to come.
After seeing Taizhen, Zhang Qianyang seemed to have let things go. A hint of reminiscence appeared in his eyes, and he said, "Well, you have already entered the Hundred Days Foundation Building Stage and will soon break through the Yin God Realm. It's time to know this."
"Taizhen is the reincarnation of an immortal. Her mother dreamed of the bright moon entering her womb. When she woke up, she was pregnant. She was pregnant for nine years but did not give birth. The locals almost thought she was a monster and put her in a pig cage."
"Fortunately, when I was traveling around the world, I happened to meet her, so I rescued her and used magic to help her mother give birth to Taizhen."
Li Daoxuan's heart moved. This was definitely the template of the protagonist. The reason why the senior sister could meet the master was because she had the luck of an immortal and could turn misfortune into good fortune.
"As soon as Taizhen was born, many strange phenomena appeared between heaven and earth. There were dragons and phoenixes singing, blue birds offering fruits, and clouds filling the sky, which attracted many monks and covetous demons."
Zhang Qianyang sneered, with arrogance in his eyes.
"The disciple that the master has chosen is also someone they can covet ?"
"That day, I, the master, held the Taiyi Thunderwood Sword, held your newborn sister in my arms, and chopped from the south of the Luo River to the north of the Yellow River. It was a—"
"Ahem, Master, what happened next?"
Seeing that his master was about to talk non-stop and become more and more exaggerated, Li Daoxuan quickly interrupted him.
Zhang Qianyang glared at him and said, "Later, your senior sister became my disciple and became Taizhen, the ninth generation disciple of Longhu Mountain."
"She learns everything quickly. The old man likes her very much and says that she has the bones of an immortal. She will bring glory to our Longhu Sect in the future. The disciples also believe in her and call her the eldest sister. The whole Longhu Mountain is waiting for her to grow up."
Li Daoxuan knew that a turning point was about to come.
Sure enough, Zhang Qianyang's eyes showed a bit of sadness, and he said: "But there is a rule in our Longhu Mountain, that is, the Heavenly Masters of all generations must be of Zhang family blood. Otherwise, no matter how outstanding they are, they cannot become Heavenly Masters."
Li Daoxuan frowned. He knew this rule, but as the reincarnation of an immortal, would his senior sister care so much about the identity of a heavenly master?
"Master, Senior Sister probably doesn't care whether she can become a Heavenly Master or not."
Judging from their previous interactions, Senior Sister Taizhen is easy-going and free-spirited, pursuing nature and freedom. The position of Heavenly Master is nothing more than a cage for her.
Zhang Qianyang looked at Li Daoxuan and suddenly asked, "Disciple, do you want to become a Heavenly Master?"
Li Daoxuan was stunned for a moment, then said frankly: "I do, but he is not the Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu."
Zhang Qianyang was slightly stunned.
"Master, I feel that if I want to be a Heavenly Master, I must be like Zhang Daoling and Xu Xun, a Heavenly Master recognized by the world and respected by all Taoists!"
Zhang Qianyang laughed loudly and said, "What a courage! You are worthy of being my disciple!"
After a pause, he continued, "Your senior sister has no intention of becoming a Heavenly Master, but she is very interested in the 'Twenty-Four Grades of Zhengyi Alliance Power Talisman' from Longhu Mountain. However, this book is one of the three great secret treasures left by the ancestors, and only Heavenly Masters can read it."
Zhang Qianyang sighed, "Master hinted to her that after I become a Heavenly Master, I would secretly let her read this book, but I didn't expect that your sister was too hasty and she actually sneaked into the treasure house and stole the book!"
Li Daoxuan was stunned. His senior sister didn't look like an impatient person. Could it be that she had some reasons for taking such a risk?
"She stole it, and this girl didn't choose to steal when the old man was away. In the end, she was discovered by the old man. If she had admitted her mistake at the time, everything would have been fine, but she refused to admit her mistake and even wanted to take away the "Twenty-Fourth-Rank Zhengyi Alliance Power Talisman"."
"Although the old man doted on her, this incident touched his bottom line. In a rage, he attacked her. However, he didn't expect that Taizhen had already broken through to the Yang God Realm and cultivated many magical powers. The old man didn't investigate for a while and was unable to keep her."
After a pause, Zhang Qianyang sighed: "You know, she was only nineteen years old at that time!"
Li Daoxuan was shocked. Could a 19-year-old Yang Shen still fight with the old Heavenly Master for a while?
Although the old Heavenly Master at that time was definitely not as strong as he is now, but after so many years, Senior Sister has also been getting stronger. After all, she is the reincarnation of an immortal...
"Seeing that Taizhen was about to leave Longhu Mountain with the 'Twenty-four-Rank Zhengyi Alliance Power Talisman', the old man finally decided to kill her. He took out the Sanwu Xie Zhan Xiyang Sword, which had not been unsheathed for fifty years, and wanted to take Taizhen's life."
Li Daoxuan looked at his master and had already guessed what would happen next.
As expected, the master smiled bitterly and said, "After all, she was raised by me personally and was my only disciple at the time. I couldn't bear to see her die under the sword, so I tried to stop her."
"The old man couldn't bear to kill me after all, so he held back at the critical moment. Even so, I fell to the Yang God realm and have been tortured by the sword energy ever since."
"The old man was very angry and immediately announced that Taizhen would be expelled from Mount Longhu. I was too embarrassed to stay any longer, so after my injuries stabilized, I left Mount Longhu and never returned."
After hearing what his master said, Li Daoxuan finally understood why his master had such a complicated attitude towards his senior sister.
He raised his senior sister personally. Although they were called his disciple, in reality, they were almost father and daughter.
At the same time, the master also has deep feelings for Longhu Mountain. The old man is both his master and his father.
Now, his most proud disciple has betrayed Longhu Mountain and has had a fierce conflict with the old Heavenly Master. The master is caught in the middle and is actually having the hardest time.
He has refused to return to Longhu Mountain in recent years, probably because he doesn't know how to face the situation.
However, judging from the last time the old Taoist priest traveled thousands of miles and killed the eight-tailed fox demon, time has diluted many of the scars. The old man even said at the time that maybe he was also wrong.
The Lady in Green also said that the old Taoist priest had personally consulted with her on how to heal Zhang Qianyang's sword wound.
Li Daoxuan sighed softly, not knowing why his senior sister insisted on getting the "Twenty-Four-Rank Zhengyi Alliance Talisman". He hoped that this grudge could be completely resolved one day in the future.
Perhaps the memories stirred his emotions, Zhang Qianyang started coughing again, with pain in his eyes.
After a moment, he said to Li Daoxuan: "Let's stay in Longyou County for a few more days to help the people rebuild their homes, and then I will take you to a place."
"Where are you going?"
"Xuanzhou, Liling City, go find a fellow disciple who is on good terms with my teacher."
"Is it Master Sister Ningyan?" Li Daoxuan asked excitedly, with the fire of gossip burning in his eyes.
Zhang Qianyang coughed, stared at him and said, "It's one of your uncles!"
"Don't you want to learn alchemy? Your uncle is not only good at alchemy, but also proficient in refining equipment, divination, formation, astrology and other arts. What he has learned is all-encompassing and profound."
Li Daoxuan was somewhat uninterested. How could it be as interesting as going to see Master Ningyan to watch his master fall in love?
Zhang Qianyang seemed to have seen what he was thinking. He snorted and said, "It's okay if you don't go. I originally wanted to ask him to use this dragon to tailor a few magic weapons for you..."
Li Daoxuan's eyes lit up and he immediately said, "Go, you must go!"
