Chapter 178: Building a Tower out of Grass and Observing the Stars
As the copper coin fell into the water, white waves appeared on the bottom of the water, as if there were big fish swimming quickly, surrounding the ferry like a guard.
Waves came, but exploded when they encountered the copper coins, and splashes of water appeared on the water surface from time to time .
A shrill sound was faintly heard from under the water, carrying a sense of hatred and fear.
But the copper coins were consumed very quickly. Every time a wave of water exploded, a copper coin would be broken. Soon, there were not many copper coins left that the female monk had scattered.
Although the dirty thing under the water suffered some injuries, it still had some strength left and became even more crazy, constantly creating waves and hitting the ferry.
The female monk knew that she must not enter the water again. If the boat was overturned, even if she wanted to protect it, many people would probably die.
And underwater, she was no match for that ghost!
Thinking of this, she took out a dragon-shaped jade seal. It was not big, only about three inches, and was engraved with many Taoist symbols, with a faint luster.
She held the jade seal and chanted the mantra.
The next moment, the dragon-shaped jade seal seemed to come alive, and a light golden dragon shadow flew out from it. It was not big, only about ten feet long, and very thin, but it was sacred and majestic.
Li Daoxuan looked at the dragon shadow carefully. When it flew out, the blue dragon tattoo on his back felt slightly hot and gave off a sense of... disdain?
It was as if the fake Li Kui met the real Li Kui.
If Li Daoxuan had not intentionally stopped it, the blue dragon tattoo on his back would have flown out immediately and swallowed the dragon shadow in one gulp.
Zhang Qianyang used his magical power to transmit the message to him, and explained: "Disciple, observe carefully, this girl should be from the Louguan Dao lineage."
"Louguan Road?"
Zhang Qianyang nodded and said, "Louguan Dao is best at making towers out of grass and observing the stars. It has also made great achievements in weapon refining, physiognomy, and formations. It was formed during the Northern Dynasties and reveres Yin Xi as its founder. It is considered the orthodox sect of our Xuanmen."
The prototype of Yin Xi is Guan Yin from the Spring and Autumn Period. In "Zhuangzi·Tianxia", he is as famous as Lao Dan.
"Louguan Dao does not seek to be detached from the world, but rather to be involved in it. It emphasizes observing the stars at night, supporting the Holy Lord, and practicing with the help of dragon energy. Therefore, it rose quickly. When Yang Jian was in power, there were many Louguan Dao practitioners in the once prosperous Xuandu Temple."
"Later, the Li Tang Dynasty rose to prominence. The two most outstanding successors of Louguan Dao, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, also came from Louguan Dao. They were highly valued by the current emperor and were regarded as his right-hand men and women, commanding the monks of the government."
Li Daoxuan's heart moved. Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng were Taoist masters whose names were recorded in history. It was said that the "Tui Bei Tu" deduced by the two of them successfully predicted many major events in the future, which was quite magical.
"My disciple, this Louguan Daoist is very good at refining instruments, and he often makes all kinds of strange instruments. This jade seal is one of them. It contains a thin dragon energy of the emperor, which is extremely harmful to ghosts. It seems that you don't need to make a move, and this girl will win."
The Dragon Qi of the Son of Heaven...
Li Daoxuan stared at the pale golden dragon shadow. He saw the dragon shadow circle on the water surface. Then the dragon's eyes lit up and it dived directly into the water.
The waves were turbulent underwater and shrill cries were heard from time to time.
It seems that the female monk will win with the help of this magical weapon.
The dragon energy of the emperor actually only has the effect of protecting the body, protecting the emperor from evil spirits. The more prosperous the country is, the more vigorous the dragon energy will be .
On the contrary, if the king is incompetent and the country is in turmoil, the dragon energy will become thin and will no longer be able to suppress evil spirits.
Therefore, when a country is about to perish, there must be evildoers!
But the emperor cannot drive the dragon energy, nor can he use the dragon energy to practice. Otherwise, he would probably achieve Yang God within a few days.
However, the monks of Louguan Dao used some unknown means to borrow the dragon energy to subdue demons and refine various magical instruments, which shows that their methods were extraordinary.
In the Zhaofu River, the waves were getting smaller and smaller, and the screams from under the water were getting weaker and weaker, as if that dirty thing was about to be destroyed by the dragon's energy.
There was a hint of joy in the nun's eyes.
She ignored the sweat dripping down her forehead and continued to input her magic power to activate the dragon energy.
Li Daoxuan frowned slightly, feeling somewhat confused. If everything was going so smoothly, then how could he have seen everyone on this ship die before?
Including this female cultivator of Louguan Dao, she will also die in this river.
I'm afraid it's not that simple.
Sure enough, just when the female monk was sure of victory, the old boatman who had been unconscious suddenly woke up, his eye whites dilated and his pupils became smaller.
There was deep resentment in his eyes, which was not at all like the eyes of an old man, but rather like the eyes of a mad woman.
The old boatman suddenly spat out a large mouthful of black dirty blood, which fell on the jade seal in the female cultivator's hand.
The next moment, the jade seal suddenly lost all its luster, became dull and stained with dirty blood, and temporarily lost its spirituality.
The dragon shadow that was fighting with the dirty creature in the water and had the upper hand had a flash of unwillingness in its eyes, but it could only disappear.
The magic weapon was contaminated and the female monk also suffered the backlash. Her face was pale, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, her body was slightly unstable, and she almost fell into the river.
She looked at the old boatman in disbelief, with a hint of pain in her eyes.
She knew that she had been tricked by the ghost. After the old boatman fell into the water, he was possessed by a wisp of the ghost's spirit. It was ridiculous that she didn't know it yet.
boom!
The Zhaofu River was stirred up by huge waves, more than two meters high, like a high wall, hitting the ferry.
At the same time, the old boatman also pounced towards the female monk with a ferocious look and hideous face, and his old body burst out with incredible speed.
There was a trace of despair in the eyes of the female monk. She knew that she was too careless . She didn't expect that she would die in the Zhaofu River before the investigation of the case in Liling City even began.
At this moment, she was not very afraid, but felt more regretful.
I regret that I can only go this far. I will not be able to see the prosperous age that Your Majesty has spoken of, nor will I be able to slay demons and protect peace in this area.
At this critical moment, a clear voice rang out.
"Certainly!"
A golden light shone and fell on the old boatman's forehead. It was a talisman, which made his body immediately stiffen in place, unable to move.
Li Daoxuan casually cast a talisman, without even looking at the old boatman, walked to the side of the boat, faced the overwhelming waves, raised his finger, and pointed lightly.
"Disperse!"
A clear light like water emanated from his body, and with his magical power of walking on water, the water of the entire Zhaofu River was under his control at the drop of a thought.
Crash!
The huge waves more than two meters high immediately turned into water droplets and dissipated, hitting the surface of the river and splashing water.
Li Daoxuan took a light step and stepped out of the ferry.
"Brother, be careful, don't go into the water easily—"
The female monk's words came to an abrupt halt because she saw lotus flowers formed by water droplets rising up and supporting the feet of the handsome Taoist priest.
At this moment, Li Daoxuan was stepping on the mysterious water, with lotus flowers growing on it. He stood with his hands behind his back, his long hair fluttering in the wind. He really looked like a banished immortal who had descended to the earth, unfathomable.
