Chapter 296: The old Taoist priest was fishing in his dream, and Li Daoxuan turned into a carp and took the bait
"There is no time to lose. Let the Nightmare Child take us into the dream!"
Zhang Qianyang urged.
But the nightmare boy shook his head, and a childish voice rang in everyone's heart.
" You are too powerful to be brought in, and I can only bring one person..."
After absorbing a large amount of divine power from incense and becoming a ghost messenger, the nightmare child can already speak, and he can communicate directly with people's inner thoughts without even opening his lips, which makes him seem even more magical.
"Then take me!"
Liu Ningyan stepped forward and said.
"Senior sister, please let me go."
Wu Dabao volunteered.
In fact, entering the old Taoist priest’s dream is a very dangerous thing. If you make the slightest mistake, you may be trapped in the dream forever like the old Taoist priest. With the death of the old Taoist priest, the dreamer will also disappear into thin air.
But everyone was vying for this opportunity without any fear.
At this time, Liu Bihen, who was holding a long sword, suddenly asked: "After you fell asleep, are you sure you can wake up the master?"
Liu Ningyan and Wu Dabao were stunned.
"A dream that even our master is deeply trapped in must be extraordinary. Master, uncle, although you all have your own methods, you are far inferior to my brother in breaking illusions and seeing through illusions."
Liu Bihen didn't understand the ways of the world. She was frank and direct, and she didn't even praise her master.
Everyone looked towards Li Daoxuan, their gazes pausing slightly on the red mark between his eyebrows.
Yes, none of them have the ability of clairvoyance. If we were to ask who among those present has the best hope of awakening the old Heavenly Master, it must be Li Daoxuan.
However, Li Daoxuan has already run around for Longhu Mountain and made great contributions.
He found out Zhang Jiuxiao's conspiracy, found the ghost baby, and borrowed the power of incense from the Green-clothed Goddess to turn the ghost baby into a nightmare child, giving the old Taoist priest hope of waking up.
Li Daoxuan was obviously just their junior. When something happened, they should have been the ones to step up and take the responsibilities, but now the situation has reversed.
They were both proud and distressed about this outstanding nephew, and no one could persuade him to take any more risks.
Li Daoxuan smiled and said, "Master, Uncle Master, Aunt Master, don't worry, I will take the trip."
He didn't mind it in his heart, as he had originally planned to do it himself. Even if Yan Tong could bring his master into his dream, he would not agree, because his master was the only one who could stop Zhang Jiuxiao.
In addition, although Liu Ningyan and Wu Dabao are reliable, they are easily confused when facing the old Taoist priest, and may not be able to remain calm after entering the dream.
Li Daoxuan had a hunch that the dream that could make the old Taoist priest obsessed must be something extraordinary.
Zhang Qianyang looked at his disciple with a touch of emotion and relief in his eyes. He walked forward, pulled his disciple over, and whispered something to him.
Li Daoxuan looked a little surprised, as if he wanted to say something, but after being glared at by Zhang Qianyang, he finally accepted it.
Zhang Qianyang smiled and patted his shoulder, saying, "Go, disciple. I will wait for you to come back."
Li Daoxuan looked at his master deeply, and then took the hand of the nightmare boy.
This time the nightmare boy was indeed very different. He used his magical power to enter dreams and took Li Daoxuan with him, turning into a wisp of green smoke and floating into the old Taoist priest's mind. During the process, he actually bypassed the old Taoist priest's powerful magic power.
…
Different from the last time I entered Lu Siyuan’s dream , this time the dream experience was more special.
Li Daoxuan felt that his consciousness became hazy. In a trance, he seemed to have passed through four circles of light and walked a very long distance.
He didn't know how much time had passed, but his feet suddenly softened and he seemed to be stepping on blue waves. The bright sunshine, lush green and verdant mountains appeared before his eyes.
Fortunately, Li Daoxuan was proficient in the Great Five Elements Escape Technique. At this moment, he was walking on the waves, expressing his gratitude in a carefree manner and looking around.
The nightmare child hugged his thighs, entwined like a sloth, and seemed to dislike water.
He pointed to the old man fishing on the shore ahead, indicating that the old master was there.
Li Daoxuan had noticed the old man fishing a long time ago. He was wearing a straw raincoat covered with fallen leaves. He had his eyes closed and was concentrating, with his long beard fluttering in the wind. It seemed that he had been fishing for a long time.
Li Daoxuan recognized that it was the old Taoist priest!
This surprised him very much. He had originally thought that the old Taoist priest was trapped in a dream and the scene might be very dangerous, such as being surrounded by demons, ghosts running around, the sky collapsing and the earth splitting. However, he did not expect it to be so elegant and quiet.
Li Daoxuan touched the nightmare boy's head and gave him a thumbs up.
The little guy did a great job. Not only did he successfully bring him into the dream, but he also found the old Taoist priest directly.
The boy smiled happily, and then climbed along Li Daoxuan's thighs to his back like a little monkey, hugged his neck, and only showed a pair of timid eyes, looking at the old man fishing.
Even in his best dreams, he still felt somewhat frightened when facing the old man.
The old Taoist priest still had the appearance of a youthful face with white hair, but compared with real life, his complexion was now more rosy and he seemed to be in better spirits. He was fishing in the stream, looking contented.
Li Daoxuan walked over and shouted, "Grandmaster, it's me, Li Daoxuan!"
The old Taoist's eyelids moved slightly, but he did not open them. Instead, he shook his wrist lightly, and the fishhook sank.
"Master, let me do it—Gulu Gulu!"
Li Daoxuan's feet sank, and he and the Nightmare Child fell into the water. No matter how he activated the Five Elements Escape Technique, it was of no use.
It was as if his magical powers were sealed.
The next moment, a hook was hung around his waist and lifted him up.
Li Daoxuan surfaced again, but found that he could no longer speak. The world in front of him also became different, as if there were some other colors.
Plop!
As two sounds of falling into water were heard, Li Daoxuan found himself thrown into a lake, surrounded by a circle of smooth black rocks.
A pair of huge eyes appeared on the horizon, old and deep, as if they could see through everything about Li Daoxuan.
Those are the eyes of the old Taoist priest!
In an instant, Li Daoxuan realized something. He turned around and looked at the Nightmare Child. What appeared in his eyes was a small black fish, spitting bubbles in a daze.
Li Daoxuan leaped out of the water, and with the help of the reflection of the water, he found that he had turned into a big golden carp.
This is not a lake, but a water tank used by the old Taoist priest to hold fish!
He... turned into a fish?
Plop!
He fell into the water again.
Looking into the old Taoist's eyes, Li Daoxuan struggled hard, wanting to say something, but apart from spitting out more bubbles, he couldn't utter a single word.
…
Late at night, Longhu Mountain, Demon Subduing Hall.
The night is very dark tonight. Dark clouds cover the bright moon, and it seems that there is no light at all. It is pitch dark all around, and the night wind is sobbing.
Zhang Qianyang had a bad feeling in his heart.
As a powerful Yang God, this kind of premonition is very accurate, quite like the magical feeling of cicadas feeling the coming of autumn before the wind blows.
He frowned and immediately said to his junior fellow apprentice: "Dabao, something is not right tonight, please do some divination."
Wu Dabao naturally had no doubt about what his senior brother said. He carefully took out the tortoise shell and copper coin and performed divination. However, as soon as he made a divination, the tortoise shell exploded directly, and the copper coin became dull and cracked.
His expression changed drastically, and he said, "Brother, it looks like a disaster is about to happen tonight!"
Hearing this, the expressions of Liu Ningyan, Zhang Qianyang and others became more solemn. Wu Wei hurriedly took out the River-Stirring Sea Stick, grabbed a handful of Bewitching Sand in his hand, and looked around vigilantly.
Liu Bihen remained calm, she just reached down with her jade hand and quietly grasped the hilt of the Lilong Sword.
Zhang Qianyang took a deep look at the night outside the window and said, "It seems that someone doesn't want the old man to wake up. Daoxuan's behavior has undoubtedly driven him to desperation. Be careful that someone may do something desperate."
The person he was referring to was naturally Zhang Jiuxiao.
Zhang Jiuxiao harmed his disciples and condoned evil spirits. Given the old man's hatred of evil, once he wakes up, he will surely be furious. Even if it is his own blood, he will never show mercy.
Therefore, if Zhang Jiuxiao learns that the old man is about to wake up, he will definitely be unable to sit still, and may even go all out and fight a crazy battle.
Zhang Qianyang quietly set up a Tiangang Demon Subduing Array, and his spirit was already extremely tense.
But the surroundings were still very quiet. Apart from the chirping of cicadas and croaking of frogs, no other sounds could be heard.
At this moment, a low sword sound was heard.
As the sound of swords rang out, all the sealed demons in the Demon-Suppressing Hall trembled in fear.
Three or five swords to slash evil male and female!
There was a hint of strangeness in Zhang Qianyang's eyes. He walked forward, grasped the sword hanging in the room, and tried to communicate with the sword spirit.
As the direct descendant of the Heavenly Master, he is also qualified to hold this sword. When he was a child, he had touched this sword many times and was quite familiar with it.
But before he could release his goodwill, the sword's trembling suddenly became more violent, as if it had become extremely anxious.
clang!
The next moment, the divine general actually broke free from Zhang Qianyang's hand, disobeyed the order given to him by the old Taoist priest, and stopped guarding the Demon-Suppressing Hall. Instead, he flew towards the southeast.
"not good!"
Zhang Qianyang's pupils narrowed. The male and female Sanwu Zhanxie swords were extremely spiritual. Such behavior was too abnormal. He must have sensed something.
He hesitated for a moment and then chased after him.
Firstly, the Sanwu Zhanxie Male and Female Swords were the most precious treasure of Longhu Mountain and must not be lost. Secondly, he did not have complete confidence that he could defeat Zhang Jiuxiao. If they really fought, he would be more confident with the help of the magic sword.
Of course, for the old man’s safety, he would not go too far, at least not leave the area of Longhu Mountain.
As Zhang Qianyang left the Demon-Suppressing Hall, the surroundings became quiet again.
On the beam, a poisonous snake quietly appeared, spitting out a scarlet snake tongue, and crawled towards Wu Wei, who had the lowest cultivation level.
Just as it was about to climb over Wu Wei's head, a flash of sword light appeared, and the Lilong Sword was unsheathed, cutting it in half.
Under the candlelight, the sword danced with a faint glow, and then was put back into the sheath.
Liu Bihen's voice sounded faintly.
"Be careful, there are poisonous snakes in the temple."
She had a sharp sword heart and was extremely perceptive. Even though the venomous snake had received special training and was very good at hiding, it still died under her sword.
Just as he finished speaking, dozens of poisonous snakes suddenly jumped down from the beams around him and bit everyone.
Wu Dabao had an array flag in his hand. He snorted coldly and said, "Fire is born, the Vermillion Bird spits out flames, burn!"
boom!
Five formation flags appeared all around, in red, gold, blue, white and black. On the red flag, the shadow of the Vermillion Bird appeared, spewing out blazing flames, instantly burning the poisonous snakes into ashes, and even the venom they sprayed out turned into nothingness.
Wu Dabao smiled slightly. As a master of formations, how could he not be prepared in advance?
This Five Elements Five Directions Formation is his favorite formation. He also specially borrowed the Five Elements Flag from the treasure house of Longhu Mountain. With the help of this top-grade magic weapon, he is full of confidence in himself.
But the next moment, he couldn't laugh anymore.
Because more poisonous snakes emerged, on the beams, under the ground, in the cracks of the wall...
They used every possible means. The dense swarms of poisonous snakes instantly turned the Demon-Suppressing Hall into a snake den, and the terrifying hissing sounds were everywhere.
"It's Pan Dan!"
Wu Dabao realized instantly that there might be a very terrifying enemy hiding in this Demon-Suppressing Hall.
The other party was in the Yang Shen realm and had escaped from the hands of Master Sanle and Lady Qingyi. He even almost poisoned Li Daoxuan, who had broken through the Yin Shen realm, to death in front of him and his senior brother.
This is an extremely insidious and terrifying enemy!
Wu Dabao was fully focused and didn't miss any movement.
"Golden element transforms into life, White Tiger becomes a soldier, cut!"
As he finished speaking, the golden flag among the Five Elements Treasure Flags burst into sharp rays, and a white tiger faintly appeared, howling towards the sky. The next moment, countless swords and axes transformed from golden light slashed towards the snake group.
The snakes suffered heavy casualties in an instant, and many poisonous snakes were turned into meat paste before they even had time to spit out their venom.
But Liu Ningyan sensed something was wrong, because the poisonous snakes did not rush towards the old Taoist priest fearlessly, but slowly approached... those jars that sealed the demons!
But at this moment, there are no male and female swords guarding the hall. Once these sealed demons come out, it will definitely be a disaster!
"Be careful, his target is those jars!"
Liu Ningyan shouted loudly and at the same time used the Taiyi Tiangang Sword Technique. Thousands of swords shot towards the poisonous snakes like rain.
But it was still too late.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang…
Jars were pushed down by poisonous snakes and smashed into pieces. The demons inside immediately escaped. There were bones painted with rouge, human skin with words on it, embroidered shoes with evil spirits hidden in them, poisonous spiders with human faces...
For a moment, the evil and ghostly auras broke through the roof of the Demon-Suppressing Hall and rushed straight into the night sky.
…
"First it was Qianyang, then Jiuxiao, Ningyan and Dabao, and now there is another disciple."
The old Taoist priest reached his hand into the water tank, stroked the scales of the golden carp, and stared into the carp's eyes, his voice calm and peaceful.
The golden carp desperately winked at him, revealing a hint of anxiety.
"Moro, after all these years, is this all you still have?"
The old Taoist priest smiled slightly and exhaled lightly, and a glazed flame gushed out and landed under the water tank.
"That's just right. I've been sitting for a long time and I'm hungry. I wonder what the texture of this golden carp is like?"
After saying that, he even sprinkled a handful of salt, as if he was going to make a pot of carp soup.
Li Daoxuan was so anxious that he jumped up and down, trying to use various Taoist magic, but all failed. Even the Five-Devils Soldiers Talisman could not be sensed, and the Three Realms Gourd was missing.
"Are you looking for this?"
The old Taoist priest held a black gourd in his hand and looked at the carp with a smile.
He shook it gently and smelled a hint of wine.
"Not bad. You know I like wine, so you specially sent it to me. Moro, I didn't expect you to be so generous this time."
"This is good meat, it must be paired with good wine."
Li Daoxuan: "Gurgle! Gurgle! Gurgle!"
