Chapter 378: Rain in the Blue Sky, the Goddess’s Spring Heart
In the room, Li Daoxuan burned incense, took a bath, and changed clothes.
After doing all this, he placed the statue of the Green-robed Goddess on the table, placed offerings on it, lit incense and candles, held a yellow talisman in his hand, and began to pray.
"The day is auspicious and the time is good. The heaven and earth are open, and the incense is lingering in all directions. I sincerely pray to the Yuzhang Ghost Immortal, the Lord of the Underworld, and the Green-robed Goddess. I hope that the true spirit of the gods will come to the mortal world, grant me supernatural powers, and protect my safety and prosperity!"
As Li Daoxuan chanted the incantation, the talisman in his hand suddenly ignited, turned into wisps of ashes, and floated into the incense burner in front of the statue.
The next moment, the burning speed of the lit incense and candles immediately accelerated, as if there was an invisible cold wind blowing beside them.
Green smoke rose up, but quickly disappeared into the air. Li Daoxuan couldn't even smell the slightest bit of fireworks. It was very magical.
He knew that according to the records of the "method of praying for rain ", the green smoke had already drifted into the underworld and conveyed those words to the ears of the goddess.
If the Green-Robed Lady does not send down her true spirit before the incense burns out, then this method will be declared a failure.
Yes, strictly speaking, the "method of praying for rain" that Zhuge Qing gave him was an alternative method of summoning gods, asking the true spirits of immortals and gods to descend to the mortal world, enter the statues, and use them as a temporary shelter.
Li Daoxuan's own magical powers are limited, so he cannot pray for a heavy rain. However, if he has this statue with a true spirit, he can borrow some of the magic power of the Green-Robed Goddess when praying for rain, so as to break through the limitation of dragon energy.
With the disappearance of immortals and Buddhas, the art of summoning gods has long been ineffective and has no place to be used. However, this art of summoning gods is unique and unconventional, as it summons the gods who are still in the world.
However, all this requires the consent of the gods. If the gods do not nod, Li Daoxuan will not be able to borrow anything and may even create hatred.
Because separating part of the true spirit into the statue is also a considerable consumption for the god, and once it enters, it will merge with the statue and become a very special magical tool.
This is inevitably blasphemous to the gods who are high above.
…
Qingming Realm, Mount Yamfu.
The lady in green sits on a lotus pedestal, her black hair shining brightly. She makes a lotus seal with her hands, divine light flows around her, there is fairy light behind her head, and her snow-white silk ribbons flutter among the stars, moving without wind.
The energy of earth, water, wind and fire surged behind her, transforming into five-colored divine rings that rotated endlessly.
Her cultivation has reached the realm of immortals. Although she is calm and motionless at this moment, sitting quietly on the lotus platform, she can hear the wind and rain from all directions and all kinds of things in the world. In this world, she is cultivating the supreme realm.
Suddenly, a voice came into her ears from nowhere.
"The day is auspicious and the time is good. The heaven and earth are open, and the incense is lingering in all directions. I sincerely pray to the Yuzhang ghost fairy, the Lord of the underworld, and the Green-robed Goddess..."
The lady in green slowly opened her eyes, revealing a gaze colder than the bright moon.
She had heard similar prayers so many times that they no longer moved her. But this time, the prayer caused ripples in her heart.
Because she was very familiar with this voice, it was Li Daoxuan's voice.
Ever since Li Daoxuan entered Chang'an, he was frightened by the dragon's aura and the Qingming Order could no longer be opened. The two have not seen each other for a long time. Although she also paid attention to Li Daoxuan's news, her gains were limited.
All we know is that he crossed the river on a white horse in Xuzhou and killed a water ghost. After entering the capital, there has been no news of him since then.
After listening to Li Daoxuan's prayer, Lady Green felt a mysterious law coming towards her, as if it was going to take away a part of her true spirit and send it to somewhere in Chang'an.
Of course, with her level of cultivation, she could disable this spell with just a flick of her finger, and could even cause the caster to suffer backlash.
After all, even a partial true spirit is extremely precious to the gods.
However, Lady Green not only did not resist, but instead took the initiative to expose her spiritual platform, separate her true spirit, and allow part of her own magic power to be "borrowed" and cast into the distant city of Chang'an.
She naturally trusted Li Daoxuan very much.
The bird fairy flapped its wings and landed on her finger, chirping, "My lady, what happened just now? I felt like there were two of you..."
Lady Qingyi sighed softly and said, "He is in Chang'an City. I am afraid he has run into trouble. Unfortunately, the dragon energy in Chang'an is so strong that I cannot predict whether it will be good or bad for him."
She frowned slightly, with an indelible worry in her eyes.
In an instant, the night sky of the entire Qingming Realm became much darker, and a drizzle of rain poured down.
As the Green-Robed Goddess's cultivation of the Tao improved, she had already developed some kind of wonderful resonance with the Qingming heaven and earth, as if she had become one with nature and merged with the Tao. When she was happy, the sky was broad and the land was vast, with good weather and abundant harvests; when she was sad, the world was turbulent and the stars and moon were dim.
Fairy Que blinked and said quickly, "My Lady, it must be that brat Li Daoxuan. Only he can make you so angry! No, I'm going to Chang'an to teach him a lesson!"
Lady Qingyi glanced at it and said calmly: "You, you are not interested in wine, but want to see the prosperity of Chang'an."
When Fairy Que was pointed out what she was thinking, she immediately lowered her head in embarrassment.
It was about to retort when it felt the queen's hand suddenly tremble.
"My lady, what's wrong with you?"
When Fairy Que looked up, her eyes immediately showed surprise. She had followed the Queen for hundreds of years and had never seen the Queen show such an expression.
The empress, who used to be cool, elegant, dignified and holy, actually had a hint of blush on her stunning face. She pursed her red lips slightly, and a hint of anger appeared in her star-like eyes.
"How dare he be so... frivolous to me..."
The immortal light flowing around the lady in green was rippling slightly, and the five-colored divine ring behind her head burst out with tremendous power. The energy of earth, fire, wind and fire between heaven and earth was constantly fading, showing her inner restlessness at the moment.
"My lady, what happened to you?"
Fairy Que was frightened and asked quickly.
"I'm not... um... fine."
The lady in green closed her eyes and silently recited profound scriptures to calm her inner turmoil, but her immortal body sitting on the lotus platform was twisting slightly and her breathing was a little rapid.
At this moment, the Qingming Realm seemed to have changed. Sometimes it rained heavily, sometimes it was cloudy and rainy, sometimes the stars and the moon were shining, and sometimes it was shrouded in clouds and mist...
After an unknown amount of time, Lady Green finally regained her composure, and the blush on her face gradually faded away.
She opened her eyes, and her cold gaze was like the waves on a moonlit night, seemingly calm, but with undercurrents surging and a brewing storm.
A howling cold wind blew in the Qingming Realm, and the entire Mount Yamafu was shaking slightly.
"My lady... so scary..."
Fairy Que buried her head in the Queen's palm and trembled.
…
Chang'an City, Xuandu Courtyard.
Li Daoxuan held the statue of the goddess, stretched out his fingers, and according to the records in the "method of praying for rain", he circulated his magic power and touched the major acupoints on the statue according to the number of Zhoutian.
This is called "sealing the spirit" in the "method of praying for rain". It can prevent the magic power in the statue from leaking out, enhance spirituality, and cultivate tacit understanding between the caster and the statue.
But to be honest, when taking this step, Li Daoxuan was actually very nervous and uneasy.
Because at this moment, after the gods were summoned, the statue was shrouded in a layer of faint light, and between its eyebrows and eyes, there seemed to be a bit more of the goddess's charm, and it seemed as if one had seen the goddess herself.
Li Daoxuan almost took this step reluctantly.
The only step left was to guide the true spirit into the body, let the spirit get familiar with his body, and also let Li Daoxuan get familiar with the spirit's magic power, so as to avoid being flustered during the battle.
"Please come on, my lady!"
Li Daoxuan made hand seals and just shouted this sentence when he saw a white light suddenly fly out from the statue, as if it was impatient.
