Chapter 332: White Snake Under Water, the Legend of Xuzhou City
"Could it be that I am dazzled? The Taoist's whisk just now...actually turned into a Qilin?"
"I, I saw it too, it's really the sacred beast Qilin!"
"The boat has stabilized and is no longer shaking!"
"Look at the Sishui River, the water is moving!"
At this moment, the people and soldiers on the shore were all excited and cheered up.
…
Under the sunshine, the Si Shui River, which had been calm, suddenly became turbulent, with undercurrents swirling around. The roar of a unicorn could be heard faintly underwater, mixed with some sharp roars.
That was a water corpse ghost running in panic, as if avoiding some terrifying beast.
However, their hiding could only prolong their survival. As miserable cries were heard, blood mist began to float in the Si Shui River. Soon, the bodies of the water corpse ghosts floated up.
No more, no less, exactly eight!
Every water zombie had its neck bitten off.
In an instant, thunderous cheers broke out on the banks of the Si Shui River.
"All dead! These damn water zombies are finally dead!"
"God has eyes!"
"This Taoist priest must be a deity who has descended to earth to command a Qilin to subdue demons!"
Some even started running around the streets to tell others the good news.
The governor Wei Zongsu looked at the figure standing on the bow of the ship, with white clothes fluttering, like a banished immortal. With tears in his eyes, he stood up and bowed deeply to Li Daoxuan, saying: "Thank you, Immortal Master, for removing the demon from Xuzhou for me!"
Li Daoxuan was about to speak, but suddenly frowned.
Because after biting the eight water corpse ghosts to death, the black jade Qilin did not return for some reason, but continued to wander in the Sishui River, rushing towards a corner.
Interesting, could it be that I have made a mistake? Are there other monsters hidden in the Sishui River?
The black jade Qilin transformed from the whisk was extremely sensitive to evil spirits. After biting those water corpse ghosts to death, it sensed an extremely weak trace of evil spirit and immediately changed direction, running towards the monster.
The next moment, a slender, snow-white figure rushed out of the mud at the bottom of the river and tried to escape.
It was a white snake about three feet long, moving like a silk thread in the river.
The black jade Qilin was not willing to let it go and chased after it relentlessly.
On board.
There was a hint of surprise in Li Daoxuan's eyes. When he used his divine eyes to look down at the bottom of the water, he actually saw the white snake hiding in the mud. However, this snake was small and had no obvious demonic aura, so Li Daoxuan treated it as an ordinary snake.
Only then did he realize that he had made a mistake.
Although this snake's cultivation is still shallow, it is obvious that it has extraordinary bloodline. It can dodge here and there while being hunted by the Black Jade Qilin. Although it is surrounded by dangers, it always manages to avoid being caught at the critical moment.
The black jade Qilin was furious, and the two horns on its head burst into radiant light. Then the entire Sishui River began to stir up waves, rolling up columns of water, blocking the white snake's way.
That white snake was also very extraordinary. It could even compete with the black jade unicorn in water-controlling abilities. Waves rolled up and then dissipated, as if the water god was angry and capricious.
On the Sishui River, Li Daoxuan silently used his magical powers. Even though the waves were surging around him, the small boat under his feet remained safe and motionless, as steady as a mountain.
"Master, are there other monsters underwater?"
The governor asked hurriedly, but he was not as nervous as before.
Li Daoxuan’s performance before had completely convinced him. Standing next to such an immortal with great magical powers and extraordinary Taoism, he naturally didn’t have to worry too much.
Li Daoxuan smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, we'll catch him soon."
Just as he finished speaking, there was a splash, and the black jade Qilin flew out from the Sishui River with a white snake in its mouth. It stepped on the water with all four hooves, its eyes were like copper bells, its hair fluttered, and water droplets flowed on its scales.
The white snake struggled hard in its mouth, but to no avail.
Despite his extraordinary bloodline, the White Snake's current cultivation is still too poor to match Li Daoxuan's Black Jade Qilin.
Qilin originally wanted to bite the white snake to death, but because of Li Daoxuan's order, he had to carry the white snake back.
There was a hint of disbelief in the eyes of the governor. The one that had just fought with the Qilin for a long time and turned the Sishui River upside down was this little white snake?
Li Daoxuan stretched out his hand.
The black jade Qilin immediately opened its mouth obediently.
whoosh!
Regardless of its own injuries, the white snake arched its body and tried to rush into the river to escape.
However, it found that its body was getting farther and farther away from the water surface. Turning its head, it discovered that the scary Taoist was holding an ancient black gourd in his hand.
The white snake escaped quickly and came back even faster. In just a blink of an eye, Li Daoxuan put it into the Three Realms Gourd and covered it with a stopper.
"Hehe, you little snake, just stay in there for a while."
At this moment, he only needed to turn the gourd to turn it into a pool of blood, but Li Daoxuan did not do so because he suddenly thought of something and a guess emerged in his mind.
If his guess was correct, then this white snake probably didn't deserve to die.
When the governor saw the white snake being put into the gourd by Li Daoxuan, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed thinking that the Sishui River would finally be stable.
"Thank you, Immortal Master. Please stay in Xuzhou City for a while. I will personally host a banquet to thank you!"
Li Daoxuan hung the Three Realms Gourd around his waist and stretched out his hand. The black jade Qilin immediately shook off the water droplets on its body, and then turned back into a Qilin whisk and fell into his hand.
"No need. I have already bought some wine in Xuzhou. It is time to leave."
The governor heard Li Daoxuan's intention to leave, and he was anxious. He said quickly: "Wait a minute, Immortal. I still have fifty years of aged wine hidden in my house. I would like to offer it to you to drink!"
Li Daoxuan laughed loudly and said, "Although the wine is good, I came here for fun and I will leave for fun, that's enough!"
Then he whistled.
The next moment, the white horse led by the soldiers on the shore neighed, broke free from its restraints, and stamped its four hooves, running on the water like a flash of white lightning, and in the blink of an eye it appeared in front of Li Daoxuan.
The governor knew that the immortal had no intention of leaving, so he shouted loudly: "Immortal, can you leave your name?"
Li Daoxuan had already climbed onto the horse, holding the reins.
He didn't care about false fame, but as a disciple of Longhu Mountain, it was his duty to bring fame to his master.
Waving his hand, he said, "Longhu Mountain, Li Daoxuan."
After saying this, he rode his horse, pulled up the reins, and rode away on the water. In a moment, he had crossed the river, and his figure gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.
On the banks of the Sishui River, many people regarded Li Daoxuan as a god and knelt down to kowtow to him.
The governor looked at the rapidly receding figure and bowed deeply. He knew that from now on, Xuzhou City would have one more legend.
But for some reason, the name Li Daoxuan seemed inexplicably familiar to him, as if he had heard it somewhere before.
He thought hard but couldn't figure out where he had heard this name before.
When the boat reached the shore, he came to the chief secretary and the military commander and asked, "Have you ever heard of the name Li Daoxuan?"
Sima Liangdong was a man obsessed with Taoism. He often discussed Taoism with some friends and had a relatively good understanding of Taoist sects such as Longhu Mountain.
He was shocked and murmured, "Li Daoxuan, Longhu Mountain... Yes, it must be him!"
The governor asked hurriedly, "Do you know who the immortal master is?"
Sima Liangdong said excitedly: "Sir, if I am not mistaken, he should be the legendary Taoist who slays dragons. Some time ago, he was personally conferred the title of Taoist who suppresses dragons, calms the sea, drives away ghosts and exorcises demons by His Majesty's decree!"
He looked at the direction where Li Daoxuan left, and kept sighing, feeling very regretful, as if he had missed out on meeting his idol.
