Chapter 348: The wind and moon rise from the thatched cottage in Nanshan, and we meet without knowing it is an old friend
After figuring out the whole story, Li Daoxuan looked at Taizhen and sighed, "Miss Zhuge is really smart. In ancient times, there was Sleeping Dragon in Nanyang, and now there is Sleeping Dragon in Nanshan!"
Taizhen smiled and said, "Brother Li, you are too kind. You are just blinded by one leaf."
Li Daoxuan already had the idea of leaving, but before he could say anything, he saw Taizhen bowing to him.
"Brother Li is in a hurry to leave, so I won't see you off. I hope you can catch the real murderer and solve the strange case as soon as possible."
Li Daoxuan returned the greeting and then looked at her deeply.
Although the other party's cultivation was far lower than his, he always felt that when the two of them were together, the other party's aura overshadowed his own, and the rhythm of the conversation was also dominated by him.
After paying her respects, Taizhen turned back to her hut, sat in front of the window, holding a pen and ink in her hand, writing something.
Sometimes she was indecisive, sometimes she smiled, and sometimes she looked melancholy, as if she was completely immersed in her own world, and she didn't realize that there was a pair of eyes quietly observing her.
The moonlight sprinkled on her black hair, hazy as fog, like a fairyland.
If it weren't for that face, she would really be like a fairy descending to earth.
At this moment, Cha Cha stood on tiptoe, made a face at Li Daoxuan, and then closed the window.
A small lamp was lit, and in the dim candlelight, a graceful figure was reflected .
…
After Li Daoxuan left.
Cha Cha immediately asked, "Master, why don't you let me recognize you as your uncle?"
Tai Zhen was writing something seriously. When she heard this, she glanced at her and said, "The secret cannot be revealed."
Cha Cha let out an "oh" sound, feeling very sorry. She actually liked her uncle-master very much. He saved her, cooked delicious food, and was handsome. He was even better than the uncle-master in her imagination!
Suddenly, the little girl screamed and ran to the bronze mirror to look at herself. When she saw her dark face, she immediately looked depressed.
It’s over, it’s over. The first time I met my uncle, I was so ugly...
The little girl was secretly sad. She squatted in the corner and banged her head against the wall. It seemed that her self-esteem had suffered a great blow.
Taizhen was still writing with full concentration.
Under the candlelight, all you could see were lines of small words written on the paper.
"The first time, in the thatched cottage in the South Mountain, the wind and the moon rose, and we met without knowing it was an old friend."
She actually embellished what happened tonight and turned it into a vernacular novel, the protagonists of which were Zhuge Qing, the Sleeping Dragon of Nanshan and the Yangshen Hermit, and the male protagonist was named Li Xuan.
When she wrote about Li Xuan coming under the moon and saying, 'A mountain is not famous because of its height, but because of the immortals living there; a river is not famous because of its depth, but because of the dragons living there', she couldn't help but savor it for a long time, so much so that the ink dripped onto the paper.
"My junior fellow apprentice is so talented in writing. I'll have to ask him to write more poems in the future..."
When she finished writing the first chapter, she blew the ink dry, read it over and was very satisfied.
But in a moment, I felt worried again.
What should I write about this second time?
…
After Li Daoxuan returned to Chang'an City, the first thing he did was to find Wang Bo and ask him to help investigate the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue, to see who was most likely to have access to that information, and to monitor him secretly.
Afterwards, he returned safely to Xuandu Temple, waiting for the Longmen Immortal Meeting to be held.
The Longmen Immortal Meeting was scheduled for seven days later. The reason why it was delayed so long was that the Imperial Astronomical Observatory observed that the Purple Star was gradually getting darker, and would reach its darkest moment after seven days, and then turn from dark to bright.
Ziwei Star is the Emperor Star. When Ziwei Star is dim, the dragon energy in Chang'an will also become weak. At that time, the wizard's prayer for rain will be twice as effective with half the effort.
Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, it was already three days later.
During this period of time, Li Daoxuan stayed at home and rarely went out. He meditated and practiced in the Xuandu courtyard. He felt that this was indeed a treasure land. His cultivation became more and more advanced, and the work he achieved in one day was better than that of an ordinary ten days!
As for the missing eye case, he had done everything he should have done, and the rest was up to fate.
However, Wang Bo provided him with a list. In the Ministry of Households, there were no more than three people who were capable of obtaining the household registration information of the entire Chang'an population, and they all held important positions.
Next, we just need to check these three people in detail and we will always find clues.
Thinking of this, Li Daoxuan thought of Zhuge Qing who lived in seclusion deep in Mount Zhongnan. For some reason, the other party gave him an inexplicable sense of trust.
It seems that no matter what difficulties you encounter, you can go to her for help.
This made Li Daoxuan feel absurd. The other party was just a small cultivator in the Qigong realm. Why would he have such an illusion?
However, he currently has a real problem, that is, the Longmen Immortal Meeting is imminent, but he may not be able to pray for heavy rain.
There is no shortage of spells for praying for rain in Longhu Mountain. For example, Li Daoxuan knows a spell called Buyu Duanyi. However, in Chang'an City, even if he has the cultivation base of a middle-stage Yin God, he can only summon a small amount of rain, and for a very short time.
It can't solve the drought in Chang'an at all.
After completing his training, Li Daoxuan got up and left the courtyard, wanting to visit Mount Zhongnan again.
But the head monk Dong Yangzi came in a hurry, accompanied by a eunuch. Li Daoxuan recognized him as Gao Quan, the chief eunuch of Li Shimin.
When Gao Quan saw Li Daoxuan, his eyes lit up and without even taking a breath, he grabbed Li Daoxuan's sleeve.
"Quick, Master Li, His Majesty invites you!"
Li Daoxuan frowned slightly and said, "Eunuch Gao, why are you so anxious?"
Gao Quan shook his head and said, "This matter concerns His Majesty's health. We cannot hesitate even a little. Master Li, please go to the palace and see His Majesty!"
Li Daoxuan was shocked. Did something happen to Li Shimin?
How is this possible? As the emperor who created the prosperous Zhenguan era, he is now in his prime and strong. How could something go wrong for him?
Li Shimin must not die!
Li Daoxuan's eyes flashed with lightning, and he said, "Eunuch Gao, the situation is urgent, I will go first."
After he finished speaking, there was a loud thunder, and Li Daoxuan turned into thunder and flew away into the air.
When Gao Quan saw this scene, his eyes almost popped out.
Above the city of Chang'an, a flash of lightning pierced through the clouds and the sky, crossing across the sky and attracting countless gazes.
At this moment, many monks who came to participate in the Longmen Immortal Meeting were alarmed. They walked out of the inn one after another, staring at the terrifying lightning with shock in their eyes.
"That looks like a person!"
"Who, who is this expert? He can actually use his magical powers against the dragon energy!"
"Look, he seems to be heading towards the palace!"
"Chang'an City is indeed a place of crouching tigers, hidden dragons..."
The speed of the Thunder Escape Divine Ability was even faster than that of the Cloud Zhaoling Technique, so it only took Li Daoxuan a few breaths of time to arrive in front of the imperial city.
Under the protection of dragon energy, the magic power consumed is several times that of usual.
"I am Li Daoxuan from Longhu Mountain. I have come to see you at your majesty's command."
Li Daoxuan, holding the golden dragon medal, quickly stepped into the palace.
The dragon energy is the strongest in the palace, which is the center of the entire Chang'an City. Even with his level of Taoism, he does not want to display his magical powers here.
The guarding soldiers were already extremely shocked when they saw a bolt of thunder falling and changing into a human form. When they saw the golden dragon medal, they naturally did not dare to stop him and allowed Li Daoxuan to enter.
A moment later, he entered the Ganlu Hall and met Li Shimin again.
After just a few days of not seeing each other, Li Daoxuan was surprised to find that Li Shimin looked much more haggard. He was pale, with dark circles under his eyes, and it seemed that he had not had a good sleep for a long time.
But it doesn't mean that the end is near, it's just that the qi and blood are deficient, and the spirit is weak.
The Grand Historian Li Chunfeng stood by his side.
The two people's eyes met in the air, and they were looking at each other.
Li Daoxuan was mostly curious, after all, this was a living immortal and historical figure who had been passed down to later generations.
Li Chunfeng had a hint of exploration in his expression.
The two men looked at each other, confronting each other.
“Ahem!”
Li Shimin coughed several times and said weakly, "Tai Chong is here. Then I can have a good sleep."
