Chapter 327: Conferring the gods on behalf of heaven and reshaping the underworld!
The sun is slightly intoxicating and the cicadas are chirping non-stop.
Li Daoxuan and the Green-clothed Lady walked side by side in this thousand-year-old Taoist temple, from the Jade Emperor Tower to the Seven Star Pool, from the Patriarch Hall to Dragon Mountain and Tiger Mountain. The two did not fly in the clouds, but climbed the steps like ordinary tourists.
The lady in green retracted the divine light around her body, revealing her stunning appearance, fairy-like figure and skin reflecting the glow of the sunset. Although she had restrained her magical powers, her ethereal aura could not be concealed in her every move, leaving countless tourists stunned.
Li Daoxuan was a little surprised. He found that the Empress seemed to have changed compared to before.
She used to be aloof and out of touch with the world, but now, she seems more willing to integrate into the world and walk among the people.
The two of them talked as they walked.
Most of the time it was Li Daoxuan who was talking, talking about his experiences during this period, or introducing the various scenic spots in Longhu Mountain, while Lady Qingyi was listening quietly, only speaking out occasionally.
After touring the scenery of Longhu Mountain, it was already dusk. The two stood on the cliff of Xianshui Rock and watched the setting sun go into the mountain.
The man is handsome and has a refined temperament.
The woman was as pretty as a fairy, wearing a graceful green dress.
Anyone who sees them will say that they are a perfect match.
But in fact, there is always an insurmountable gap between the two.
Li Daoxuan looked at her fluttering black hair, and his heart moved. He blurted out: "Madam, actually I——"
The lady in green turned her jade hand over, and a wisp of residual soul appeared on it, which was the soul of the blind man Lin.
Li Daoxuan was shocked and said, "My Lady, it turned out that you took away his soul?"
Lady Qingyi shook her head and said calmly, "There is a forbidden spell hidden in his soul. If I hadn't happened to be there, his soul would have really been shattered."
Li Daoxuan's heart trembled. Who on earth could borrow the divine eye and cast a forbidden spell? Who would be willing to pay such a huge price just to use Blind Lin's hand to test himself?
"Madam, have you found out who sent him here?"
The lady in green collected the remaining soul and said, "I have used the soul-searching technique to look at his memory. The person who borrowed his divine eyes was wearing a black robe, his face was destroyed, and there were many scars on his face."
Li Daoxuan silently memorized this key information, his face covered with scars.
After a pause, the lady in green clothes continued, "This person must be practicing some kind of evil magic to conceal the secrets of heaven. Perhaps he is closely related to the Moro Cult."
Li Daoxuan frowned and said, "It's the Moro Cult again. We must eradicate this evil cult if we have a chance!"
If the Moro religion is not eradicated, the world will not be at peace.
The leader Moro has recruited many masters and has great ambitions. Although his conspiracy has been thwarted by him, Li Daoxuan did not take it lightly, but became more cautious.
The lady in green changed the subject and said, "Let's not talk about the matter of Moruo for now. I have encountered some problems in my practice recently."
Li Daoxuan was stunned, thinking to himself, your cultivation level is already above Yang Shen, you have become an immortal or a god. How can I, a mere Yin Shen, still guide you?
The lady in green seemed to see what he was thinking and said, " Just listen to it."
Li Daoxuan nodded and said, "If that's the case, then I'm all ears."
The lady in green looked at the setting sun slowly setting over the mountain, a hint of compassion in her eyes.
"After conquering the Yellow Springs, I gained more power in the underworld and improved my cultivation in the way of the gods. However, I also saw more sufferings of sentient beings and heard the cries of thousands of ghosts at night."
"But even though I have the power of a god, I cannot take care of everything. The world is too big for a god to take care of it all."
She looked up at Li Daoxuan and said, "You always have a lot of ideas. Do you have a solution?"
Li Daoxuan looked straight into her eyes, and saw the compassion and sympathy for the common people and wandering ghosts in her eyes, and he couldn't help but be moved by her kindness and sincerity.
As a ghost fairy who has lived for a thousand years, Lady Qingyi must have seen a lot of human suffering and the ugliness of human nature, but even so, she still has a loyal heart and does not change her original intention.
More than eight hundred years ago, the girl who burned herself to death in order to cure the plague and sacrificed herself to save the people of the entire city is still the same girl today.
Others only marveled at the youthful appearance of Lady Qingyi, but Li Daoxuan was impressed by her unchanged original intention.
Perhaps this is the reason why, in such a big world, she is the only one that continues to flourish in Shintoism and has uninterrupted faith.
After thinking seriously for a moment, Li Daoxuan uttered two words.
"Consecrate the gods!"
Deification?
Lady in green frowned slightly. These two words cannot be said lightly.
When King Wu defeated King Zhou, Jiang Ziya conferred the gods on behalf of Heaven, which made the Heavenly Court glorious. The word "conferring gods" has the implication of sorting out the three realms and re-ordering the universe, which cannot be accomplished without great opportunity, great perseverance and great cultivation.
Although the power of the Green-Robed Lady is unfathomable, it is still a long way to go before she can be deified on behalf of the Heaven.
Li Daoxuan smiled and said, "Of course, it's not like Jiang Ziya who canonized the three realms and reshaped the heavens, but he canonized the gods of the underworld with the power of incense, just like the emperor on earth, ruling over wise ministers and governing the country!"
Li Daoxuan's eyes became exceptionally bright, and a heroic spirit that could conquer the world arose in his chest.
"It's like the former King of Fengdu and Lord of Mount Tai, who have the Five Ghost Kings, the Ten Kings of Hell, and the Judges and City Gods under them. They can help you rule the underworld, rebuild the underworld, and reshape reincarnation!"
"I think the nightmare child you conferred before is very good. If you can confer more, they can help you better."
Li Daoxuan's logic is actually very simple. If he can't handle it alone, then he can find more helpers. At worst, he can confer gods to the underworld and restore the order of the underworld!
But such an idea requires great courage. In this era when immortals and Buddhas have disappeared and the three realms are closed, few people would come up with such a bold idea.
The eyes of the lady in green were filled with ripples, revealing a thoughtful look.
After a long while, she said, "But conferring a divine position requires a large amount of incense and divine power. It's OK for just a few people, but it's difficult for me to confer a divine position on a large scale."
Li Daoxuan smiled and said, "So the queen needs someone's help."
Lady Qingyi looked at him and guessed it immediately, saying, "Li Shimin?"
Li Daoxuan nodded and smiled: "In this world, is there any easier way to obtain the power of incense than being canonized by the emperor?"
Lady in green seemed to be thinking about something.
"However, as the Lord of Qingming, it is not appropriate for you to have a conversation in person for the time being. As the Qingming Envoy, it is most appropriate for me to go to Chang'an."
There was one more thing Li Daoxuan did not say. Although the Green-clothed Lady was intelligent, she was not good at such things as forming alliances and making coalitions. After all, she had never asked anyone for help in the past thousand years. It was always others who asked her for help.
The lady in green refused without a second thought, saying, "Chang'an is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and the dragon energy is extremely strong. If a cultivator is there, his spiritual perception will be obscured. Even if there is a danger of death, he will be ignorant of it. It is too dangerous there."
Among the Yang Gods in the world, there are very few who settle in Chang'an. Because they are affected by the dragon energy, their Taoist practice will decline, as if they are in shackles and feel very uncomfortable.
Li Daoxuan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I have just been canonized by the emperor and received two of his magic weapons. According to the rules, I must go to Chang'an City."
Lady Qing Yi looked at him quietly, noticing the determination in his eyes and knowing his temper, she could only sigh and said, "In that case, I'll trouble you."
"Why should you be so polite to me, Madam?"
After a pause, he coughed and said with a smile: "As long as the queen doesn't get angry with me again, it will be fine."
Lady Qing Yi said calmly: "Why should I be angry with you?"
"Just now in the palace, I actually wanted to object to the marriage, but I couldn't think of how to decline so as not to hurt the face of my aunt and sister."
Lady Qingyi glanced at him and said, "You are very kind to women."
Li Daoxuan was stunned. No, if he savored this sentence carefully, there seemed to be a hint of...jealousy?
But it seemed to be his illusion.
Li Daoxuan gritted his teeth, mustered up the courage to step forward and said: "My queen, in fact, besides Ziyu, I like someone else, she is - um!"
Before he could finish his words, he found that his mouth had disappeared and he could not utter a single word.
The eyes of the lady in green clothes were full of ripples. She avoided Li Daoxuan's sight and said calmly: "Beauty and bones are gone in an instant. People who practice Taoism should be pure in heart and desire, and see through the skin."
After saying that, she stretched out her jade finger and touched Li Daoxuan's brow.
"A small gift is also a small punishment."
Mist rose from under her feet and she was about to fly away, but when she was halfway up in the air, she seemed to remember something and left a few words.
"According to the time, the flower that Taizhen raised will soon bloom. If you go to Chang'an, you can go to Xuandu Temple to look for her, and perhaps you can get a chance."
After saying that, the fairy light disappeared into the magnificent sunset.
