Chapter 461: Master and Disciple Meet, Tensions Rise
The light eyebrows are like autumn water, and the jade-like skin is accompanied by the breeze.
A rich lotus fragrance permeates the temple, making people forget the worldly world.
Even though he had seen the Green-Clothed Lady many times, Li Daoxuan still couldn't help but be amazed by her. This time when he saw the Lady, he found that she seemed to have become even more beautiful.
A stunning beauty sat on the ninth-grade lotus pedestal, rays of light flowing on her elegant green robe, and even every strand of her hair was crystal clear, like the morning glow.
Li Daoxuan couldn't help but think of a sentence Zhuangzi said in "Xiaoyaoyou".
On the Miaoguye Mountain, there lived a divine man, whose skin was as white as ice and snow, and whose body was as gentle as a virgin. He did not eat grains, but breathed the wind and drank dew; he rode on clouds and controlled flying dragons, and roamed beyond the four seas.
In Li Daoxuan's eyes, the lady in green was truly unfathomable. The moment she appeared, the energy of the earth, water, wind and fire in the entire Chang'an city underwent subtle changes, so that gorgeous clouds appeared in the sky above the capital.
Whenever an immortal travels, there will always be strange phenomena.
At this moment, Li Daoxuan knew that the Empress's Taoism had become even stronger. His current strength was far superior to before. Even if he was facing a strong man in the middle stage of Yangshen, he would have to fight to know who would win or lose.
But even so, he still couldn't see through the Queen's depth. Perhaps only when he truly reached the Yang Shen realm could he touch the Queen's realm.
A majestic gaze was cast towards Li Daoxuan, without any sadness or joy, without any ripples, yet it seemed to carry a heavy weight, making his heart tighten, and even causing sweat to form on his palms.
Fortunately, he was smart enough to use the excuse of fighting with Xiao Que'er to let go of Sister Yu's hand. Otherwise, he was really worried that after seeing it, the Empress would not only not help him solve the difficulties in his cultivation, but would also give him a shot of Six Ding Divine Fire without saying a word.
Thinking of this, he glanced at the aggrieved little bird in his palm and withdrew his magical power to move the stars and change the constellations.
I'm sorry, Fairy Bird. I can only use you to divert the conflict first. I'll dig more insects for you later.
Feeling the surrounding space confinement dissipate, the little bird immediately flapped its wings and flew out, but did not dare to cause trouble for Li Daoxuan again. Instead, it flew back to the palm of the Green-Clothed Lady's hand and began to complain. There was a hint of excitement in its angry voice, as if it had already seen the scene of Li Daoxuan being taught a lesson by the Lady.
"My Lady, I just saw Li Daoxuan and Miss Ziyu holding hands. They betrayed--"
Before the little bird could finish its words, it felt that its mouth suddenly could not make any sound, and its beak seemed to be glued together and could no longer open.
Lady Qingyi lowered her eyes and said calmly, "Zi Yu is the goddess of Xiaoxiang, how can you criticize her? If you talk nonsense, I will punish you to be speechless for a month."
The little bird was suddenly struck by lightning. It looked at the Lady in Green in disbelief and felt that its whole life was dull and bleak.
It looked at Li Daoxuan, then at the Green-clothed Lady, and finally seemed to understand something. It hung its head and flew back into the hand of the statue, turning into a .
Well, I've become autistic.
Li Daoxuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, what he was most worried about was not that the Empress would be angry. After all, the Empress had long known about what had happened between him and Sister Yu. What he was most worried about was Sister Yu.
What would happen if Sister Yu knew that she and her master had an ambiguous relationship?
It’s exciting just to think about it.
Just when he thought he had escaped danger, a warm and cold jade hand held him again.
Chen Ziyu blinked and asked in confusion: "Master, I was indeed holding hands with Li Daoxuan just now, and Xiao Queer did not say anything wrong, why did you punish it?"
Li Daoxuan's expression froze.
Even Lady Green seemed not to have expected her disciple to say this, and fell into silence for a moment.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle.
Li Daoxuan laughed quickly and changed the subject: "Your Majesty, thank you for your help in this flood in Chang'an. I am very grateful!"
As he spoke, he secretly winked, signaling to the Empress not to let Sister Yu know what was going on between them for the time being.
The lady in green looked calm, as if she had not noticed Li Daoxuan's hint at all, and said calmly: "For what happened in Chang'an, the one you should thank the most is not me, but Sanle."
Master Sanle?
Li Daoxuan was stunned for a moment. Could it be that Moro did not show up in the end because of Master Sanle?
Just as he was about to ask further, he heard the empress say, "No need to ask, when the time is right, you will know."
After that, she looked at Chen Ziyu again and said, "You have made a great contribution in killing Wuzhiqi this time, but as the god of Xiaoxiang River, you cannot stay in Chang'an for long, otherwise the Xiangjiang River will cause trouble and monsters will easily appear, harming the people."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ziyu immediately took out the Xiaoxiang Water God Seal and said, "Master, I only want to stay with Li Daoxuan. As for the Water God Seal, please give it to someone else."
Chen Ziyu discarded the priceless treasure and divine opportunity in the eyes of others as if they were worn-out shoes, without any attachment.
You know, without this divine seal, she would lose her eternal life, and her magic power would also decrease a lot. If she could not survive the thunder tribulation and become an immortal in the future, she would still face the danger of running out of life.
This divine seal represents immortality, power, and the bright future of the future master of the world's water veins.
But Chen Ziyu gave up so easily, so quickly and decisively, without any hesitation.
Lady Qingyi had long known that her disciple only had Li Daoxuan in her heart, but she never thought that after possessing the power of the Xiaoxiang Divine Seal, she could let go so firmly.
Such a pure mind is both a good thing and a bad thing in terms of spiritual practice.
"Nonsense, this seal has already recognized you as its master. It has the imprint of your Yang God. Unless you die and your soul is scattered, even if you are reincarnated, only you can use it."
Lady in green looked at her disciple and sighed softly in her heart.
The word "love" can cause great harm to people.
Chen Ziyu didn't expect it to be like this. She frowned and said, "Master, but I still don't want to leave Li Daoxuan."
For her, it didn't matter whether the Xiaoxiang River would cause trouble or whether the people on both sides of the strait would be implicated. She had just reunited with Li Daoxuan and didn't want to be separated again.
The Qingyi Lady sighed softly, as if she had expected this, and said, "If you don't return to Xiaoxiang and do your job well, then even if I have a way to help Li Daoxuan break through the Yang God, I will definitely not help him."
Li Daoxuan was stunned, but at the same time, a hint of joy appeared in his heart. What the Queen said meant that she had a way to solve his problem.
As for why she didn't want to help, Li Daoxuan smiled slightly. This was just the excuse that the Empress used to scare Sister Yu.
"Sister Yu, why don't you just listen to the Empress first? Chang'an to Xiaoxiang isn't that far anyway. I'll come find you as soon as I finish my work in Chang'an."
Li Daoxuan also didn't want to be separated from Sister Yu, but for him now, a distance of thousands of miles was only an hour or so, which was not very far.
The most important thing is not to let conflicts arise between the master and the apprentice because of their own affairs.
Chen Ziyu was still somewhat reluctant, and said: "Master, if I give the innate essence in the lotus body to Li Daoxuan, can it help him get rid of the cold and break through the Yang God?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Li Daoxuan secretly thought that something was wrong.
As expected, the lady in green had deep eyes and her hair moved without wind. Li Daoxuan felt a chill all over his body, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
The Xuanming True Water lurking in his heart seemed to sense the danger and moved violently.
"Huh?"
The lady in green let out a light exclamation, revealing a hint of surprise.
In her eyes, it seemed as if a huge wave surged up behind Li Daoxuan. The sound of waves could be heard all around. The power of water was so surging that the lotus platform under her feet shook slightly.
She even vaguely saw a terrifying giant that was holding up the sky and shaking the earth, with a human head and a snake body, red hair and blue eyes, standing in the huge waves, with an extremely violent aura.
This even frightened her, an immortal who had attained both the status of a ghost immortal and a god immortal.
As if she felt that her master wanted to vent his anger on Li Daoxuan, Chen Ziyu stood in front of Li Daoxuan and said firmly: "Master, you also said that cultivators should be grateful and repay kindness, and karma will pay for itself. If it weren't for Li Daoxuan, I wouldn't have the lotus body I have today. In this case, why should I cherish my life?"
The green-clothed lady looked at her persistent disciple, was silent for a moment, and said: "Even if you sacrifice your own future and give him the lotus essence, it will be useless, because your current cultivation is not enough, and the essence in your Dharma body is not enough for him to step into the Yang God."
The light in Chen Ziyu's eyes dimmed. If this path was blocked, she would have no other options.
But the next moment, her eyes lit up, as if she had thought of something, and blurted out: "Master, you are also a Lotus Dharmakaya, and you have cultivated to perfection, can you--"
Before she finished her words, a hint of anger flashed in the eyes of Lady in Green. She pointed with her jade finger, and her magical power surged, as if she was going to teach her rude disciple a lesson.
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
Li Daoxuan stood in front of Sister Yu and said quickly, "My Lady, Sister Yu is just a pure-hearted person and knows nothing about matters between men and women. I didn't mean what I said just now. I hope you won't be angry!"
The fingertips of the Qingyi Lady stopped in front of Li Daoxuan's eyes. Seeing him stand up to protect Chen Ziyu, her eyes turned cold and she said indifferently: "Master Li, this is a matter between us master and disciple, please don't interfere."
The voice was very cold, and suddenly became extremely distant.
Li Daoxuan quickly sent a message to Sister Yu, indicating that she should apologize to the Empress first.
Although Chen Ziyu didn't know why her master was so angry, she still apologized, "Master, I was wrong just now..."
Li Daoxuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, cold sweat breaking out on his back.
Sister Yu really dares to say anything. The Empress's lotus Dharma body is indeed perfect, and there are countless lotus essences hidden in her body. If all of them were given to Li Daoxuan, let alone the Yang God realm, I'm afraid he would be able to overcome the tribulation and become an immortal directly!
But let me ask you, who in the world dares to use the Lady in Green as a cauldron for cultivation?
Even the bold Li Daoxuan only dared to think about it but didn't dare to say it out loud.
At this time, Chen Ziyu continued, "Master, didn't you say that after the Lotus Dharmakaya is fully developed, even if the innate essence is lost, it won't have much impact? Li Daoxuan is not an outsider. You can give it to him now, and when your disciple is fully developed in the future, he can give it to you."
Li Daoxuan almost vomited blood.
My silly sister Yu, do you really think this kind of thing can be sent back and forth?
And how would you like to give it to the Empress?
This cannot be solved by just taking a breath of Yang energy. It requires the combination of both bodies and cultivation. Among cultivators, only a pair of Taoists can do this.
Sure enough, such shocking words even startled Lady Qingyi, and then anger appeared in her eyes again.
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Li Daoxuan's eyes rolled and revealed a hint of ruthlessness. He took the initiative to urge the Xuanming True Water to release a large amount of cold air, and a layer of frost quickly spread over his body.
"save--"
Perhaps because he didn't control the strength well, too much cold air was released this time, causing Li Daoxuan to faint without even shouting for help.
"Li Daoxuan!"
Chen Ziyu immediately noticed his abnormality, she exclaimed, and was about to step forward to help.
However, the dazzling fairy light shocked her back, and a figure appeared in front of Li Daoxuan faster than her. It was her master, Lady Qingyi.
Li Daoxuan fell into the arms of Lady in Green, and the frost on his body began to spread to Lady in Green as their bodies touched.
The lady in green snorted coldly, and the immortal light around her increased greatly, shattering the ice and frost into pieces.
She looked down at Li Daoxuan. Although her expression was calm, her heart was in turmoil.
This kind of cold air is so terrifying that it can even affect her immortal body. No one knows where this little thief got this good fortune from. If he can fully control this kind of cold air, there may not be many people among the Yang Gods who can fight with him.
Even if he is an immortal, he may not be unable to fight.
Of course, if no one saves him now, this great fortune will probably become his death warrant.
The lady in green raised her jade fingers and tapped on the center of Li Daoxuan's eyebrows, injecting pure incense power into his body as if it were free.
The divine power of these incense sticks is not the same as that condensed in the temple now. Although the incense in the temple is prosperous, it has too many impurities. These incense sticks need to be tempered by her to be as pure as they are today.
The frost on Li Daoxuan's body gradually dissipated, but some stubborn coldness still remained on his face. It was very close to his heart, and even the power of incense could not remove it.
The Qingyi Lady glanced at her disciple, a hint of hesitation in her eyes, and finally sighed softly, moving her holy and beautiful face closer to Li Daoxuan little by little...
Chen Ziyu stared blankly at the scene in front of her. In her heart, the master who was cold, holy, elegant and noble, actually almost kissed Li Daoxuan in front of her?
I saw that the master and Li Daoxuan were very close to each other, their noses were touching, and their lips were less than an inch apart.
Wisps of cold air flew out of Li Daoxuan's mouth and were then sucked into the body of the Green-Clothed Lady.
Chen Ziyu knew that her master was saving Li Daoxuan, but for some reason, when she saw this scene, her heart felt a little sour. It was a feeling she had never experienced before.
It's not pleasant.
After a moment, the frost on Li Daoxuan's face disappeared. With the help of Lady Green, the coldness in his body was quickly suppressed this time.
It was just that Lady Green had deliberately cast a spell to make him fall asleep, and he hadn’t woken up yet.
She raised her head and explained to her disciple, "The coldness in his body just now was very strong. Even the power of incense and fire could not remove it. He could only absorb it into my body first. Don't... misunderstand me."
"Master, I know you are doing this for his own good."
After a pause, Chen Ziyu stepped forward and said guiltily, "Master, I was wrong just now. I shouldn't have contradicted you."
The Qingyi Lady raised her jade finger and sent Li Daoxuan to her arms, sighing: "There is no need to talk about what happened just now. As for Li Daoxuan, I just suppressed the coldness in his body. If you want him to get rid of the shackles, you must cultivate into a Yang God as soon as possible."
"Master, do you have any solution?"
"Master does have a method that can help him quickly become a Yang God, and even turn a disaster into a blessing and gain more benefits. However... if you want this method to work, you need to temporarily leave Li Daoxuan's side."
Chen Ziyu pursed her lips and glanced reluctantly at Li Daoxuan who was sleeping in her arms.
"In that case, I will listen to Master and return to Xiaoxiang first."
