Chapter 418: Zhou Tian Xing Dou, Cutting the Sky and Repairing the Sky
Hearing the word "Zhelong", Li Daoxuan was somewhat puzzled and asked: "Your Majesty, what exactly is a Zhelong?"
Li Shimin was about to speak, but he glanced at the green-clothed maid who was holding hands with Li Daoxuan, and stopped talking.
Obviously, Zhelong was involved in the highly confidential information of the Tang Dynasty. He was not sure whether the maid in green could be trusted. From her previous remarks, it seemed that she had some connection with the Tibetan Tantric Buddhism.
Li Daoxuan held the Empress's hand and gave her a reassuring smile, but found that the Empress was not looking at him at all, but was looking at the ground silently, like a motionless jade sculpture.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. If I can't even trust Qing Ni, then there is probably no one else in this world who is worthy of my trust."
Hearing Li Daoxuan's decisive words, Lady in Green's eyes moved slightly.
As a ghost fairy, she has her own magical powers to judge other people's intentions. When Li Daoxuan said this, his heart was very sincere and there was no hesitation at all. It was obvious that he was not lying or putting on a show.
"I understand."
Li Shimin took a deep look at the ordinary-looking maid in blue, looked at the two people's clasped hands, and secretly kept this woman in his heart.
It seems that this woman is not Taichong's maid, and she may become Taichong's Taoist partner in the future. This is also good. No matter whether this woman is a human or a demon, as long as she obeys Taichong, it will be a good thing for the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin glanced at Gao Quan.
Gao Quan nodded and immediately walked out of Anren Hall. After a while, he took out a heavy scroll and placed it on the ground in the hall. When it was unfolded, it was more than ten feet long, like the Qingming Shanghe Tu of later generations.
Afterwards, Gao Quan and Wang Bo automatically left the hall and stood guard at the door to prevent anyone from getting close and eavesdropping.
Obviously, what Li Shimin is going to say next will be one of the most important secrets of the Tang Dynasty!
Li Daoxuan took the empress's hand and walked to the front of the long scroll. His mind was quickly attracted by the images in the painting.
The painting shows the entire territory of the Tang Dynasty, which includes ten regions and three hundred states in the world. In addition to cities, it also includes many important mountains and rivers, which are densely packed like stars in the sky.
The most attractive thing is the star-like marks in this picture, which are marked with cinnabar and evenly distributed throughout the Tang Dynasty, and some are even at the bottom of the river.
Li Daoxuan looked at the marks marked with cinnabar and frowned slightly. His instinct told him that these marks played a very important role, but due to his limited experience, he racked his brains but could not figure out the secret.
Li Shimin gazed at the painting and said proudly, " This is the hibernating dragon!"
At this time, the lady in green, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke.
"Looking at the arrangement of these cinnabar symbols, they are vaguely similar to the Zhou Tian Xing Dou. It should be some kind of formation of the Louguan Dao lineage."
Li Shimin was shocked and looked at the Lady in Green with amazement.
"The girl only took one look and was able to recognize the secret. With such insight, it's no wonder that Taichong is so devoted to you."
Lady in green’s expression froze.
Li Daoxuan secretly gave a thumbs up in his heart, Your Majesty, great assist!
The usually calm and composed Lady in Green seemed a little embarrassed at this moment. A strange emotion she had never experienced before surged into her heart, making her subconsciously want to pull away the hand that was holding Li Daoxuan's.
However, Li Daoxuan held it very tightly and acted weakly, which made her sigh in her heart and finally give up.
Li Daoxuan smiled slightly, but he also knew that too much is as bad as too little. He quickly changed the subject and asked, "Your Majesty, is this formation the Sleeping Dragon?"
Li Shimin nodded and said solemnly: "These places marked with cinnabar have been quietly built with formation platforms, either disguised as pavilions or hidden under the ground. There are also secret guards around them. When this Zhoutian Xingdou formation is completely completed, we can fundamentally solve the problem of demons!"
Li Daoxuan took a deep breath. How could there be such a huge formation in the world?
This formation covers almost all the territories of the Tang Dynasty, encompassing the entire world. It is based on the Zhoutian stars and is truly profound and magnificent!
Lady in green gazed at this incomparably exquisite formation, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes. Even with her nearly a thousand years of experience, she still found it amazing.
"So this is the Great Zhoutian Xingdou Formation. I have heard of this formation before. It is the most mysterious formation in the Louguan Dao lineage. It is said that it was created by its founder, Yin Xi Zhenren, after observing the celestial phenomena. It is subtle and profound, and is one of the most advanced formations in the world!"
Hearing the origin of this formation, Li Daoxuan couldn't help but be a little surprised. This formation was created by Master Yin Xi himself, so it really had a great origin.
Yin Xi is the founder of the Louguan Taoism. When Laozi rode a green bull out of Hangu Pass, it was thanks to Yin Xi's persuasion that Laozi left behind the enduring classic - "Tao Te Ching".
Later, Yin Xi became Laozi's disciple and ascended to heaven with Laozi. The Taoist tradition he left in the world developed into the Louguan Dao.
After a pause, the lady in green asked doubtfully, "But I heard that more than two hundred years ago, the Louguan Dao lineage suffered a catastrophe and the inheritance was almost destroyed. The Zhoutian Xingdou Great Array also lost many secrets. Now it seems that there is a plan to complete it. Could it be that Yuan Tiangang completed it?"
Li Shimin looked at the maid in green, with a look of amazement and a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Could this woman be from the Louguan Taoist lineage?
Otherwise, how could he be so clear about the secrets? You know, even ordinary disciples of Louguan Dao have no chance to know these things. Only true disciples like Li Chunfeng can know them.
"Young lady, you are really knowledgeable. Yes, this Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array is indeed incomplete. It took Yuan Tiangang twenty years to complete 90% of it, but he could not deduce the core of the last 10% no matter what."
The lady in green was looking at the scroll with a very focused expression. There seemed to be stars flowing in her deep eyes. Even though she had an ordinary appearance, she had a strange charm that was hard to ignore.
Even Li Shimin, who had seen countless people, had never encountered such a strange charm.
She stretched out her other hand and pointed at the city of Chang'an in the picture, saying , "If my guess is correct, the missing core is Chang'an. This place is like the North Star, where all the stars surround it. It is the core of the formation and also the most difficult part."
After a pause, she sighed, "Yuan Tiangang is indeed a contemporary genius. It is truly rare for him to be able to complete this formation to this extent. It's a pity that he may not be able to complete this last tenth part even if he spends his entire life on it."
Suddenly, Lady in Green seemed to remember something, and a hint of fluctuation appeared in her eyes.
"I heard that in addition to Yuan Tiangang, there is another genius in Louguan Dao today, named Li Chunfeng. Could it be that they have mastered the secret art of cutting the sky and the secret art of repairing the sky?"
Li Shimin was so surprised that he could hardly speak. He now suspected that this woman in green might be one of the ancestors of the Louguan Taoist lineage who had ascended to become an immortal?
Otherwise, how could he have such a clear understanding of the core inheritance of Louguan Dao?
As if she had noticed Li Shimin's shock, the lady in green sighed and explained, "Your Majesty, don't be surprised. I do have some connection with Louguan Dao, but it's not deep."
Li Daoxuan asked curiously, "Qingni, what is your connection with Louguan Dao?"
"Nothing, it's just that one of their leaders provoked me, and I punished him a little by making him sweep the floor in front of the temple for ten years."
Li Daoxuan: “…”
Li Shimin: “…”
