Chapter 468: White Snake Survives Thunder Tribulation, Frost and Snow in June
Five days later, outside Chang'an city.
A young girl in a black robe jumped off her horse with such a quick and smooth movement that the eyes of the soldiers guarding the city gate lit up.
What a handsome riding skill!
The girl's long black hair was tied into a high ponytail with a green rope. She had a pretty face. Unlike the gentle and charming appearance of other girls, she had a heroic and capable temperament.
She was wearing a black robe, a long sword at her waist, a golden bow on her back, and a shining silver spear on her horse's back. She had a handsome figure and a unique military temperament in her steps.
As if sensing her aura, the soldier guarding the city gate silently pressed the hilt of the sword at his waist.
The girl glanced at them with her cold star-like eyes, took out a waist badge from her bosom and shook it slightly .
The two soldiers immediately bowed and saluted, saying respectfully, "Greetings, Captain!"
They had no choice but to be respectful, because the pretty girl in black in front of them was not an ordinary captain, but a captain among the bad guys, a legendary cultivator, and a master selected from thousands of miles away!
A captain among the Bad Men is qualified to be a general in other armies, and of a high rank at that.
The girl in black nodded to them, then led the horse into Chang'an City.
Not until she was far away did the two soldiers heave a sigh of relief and talk in low voices.
"The aura of that captain just now was really scary. I felt my heart pounding just by looking at her!"
"This is called murderous aura. I heard that only veterans who have fought in many battlefields have such murderous aura. Ordinary ghosts dare not approach..."
The girl in black held the reins of the horse and stepped into Chang'an City.
She looked around at the bustling shops and lively crowds, with a look of reminiscence in her eyes.
After not seeing each other for many years, Chang'an is still so prosperous. When this group of kids were training in Chang'an, the thing they dreamed of most was to sneak out and eat a bowl of Xiao's wontons.
Walking in Chang'an City, she could no longer see any traces of the flood, only the three stone sculptures in the center.
The goddess walking on water, the mighty general holding the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, and the world-famous imperial teacher of the Tang Dynasty.
The girl in black stopped in front of the statue of Li Daoxuan, watching quietly for a long time, with a complicated look in her eyes.
"Little girl, do you also admire Master Li?"
A beautiful woman smiled.
The girl in black was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, her voice cold and crisp.
"I haven't seen him, I've only heard of him."
The beautiful woman joked, "Why should you be shy, little girl? I have never seen Master Li, but I still admire him. If I were not married, I would definitely go to Xuandu Temple to try my luck!"
Hearing her words, the other women around also became interested and started chatting incessantly.
"Since ancient times, beauties have loved heroes. There is nothing to be ashamed of. If I were ten years younger, I would also fight for it!"
"I heard that all the brothels in Chang'an City have spread the word that if Master Li comes, they won't charge a penny. It is said that Yingyue, the courtesan in Pingkangfang, received Master Li once, and has not received any more customers since then, waiting for him wholeheartedly."
"It's a pity that Master Li rarely appears now. I don't know if his injury has healed or if he is seriously injured..."
The black-clothed girl listened quietly, listening to them talking about Li Daoxuan, listening to them talking about Erlang Zhenjun who prayed for rain during the Longmen Fairy Meeting, and the white-clothed swordsman who made a dragon roar during the Fengshan Ceremony...
She left quietly only after she could hear nothing new, with a hint of nostalgia in her eyes.
In the past, there was a person who always wrote to her, talking endlessly about Li Daoxuan.
She walked forward alone and slowly discovered something unusual .
In some places there are two or three pavilions in a row, in some corners there are some seemingly useless large stone tablets, and even some small lakes have been recently dug.
How could she, who came from Louguan Dao, not recognize the tricks here? These were clearly formation bases!
She was shocked and continued to move forward silently, observing her surroundings quietly. The more she walked, the more surprised she was. She found that the range of this unknown formation was extremely large, almost covering the entire city, and the arrangement and layout was unique and wonderful.
The profound array theory contained therein shocked her even more.
Although this grand formation has not been completed and some places are still under repair, it is not difficult to see that the person who set up the formation has great talent and vision, and this magnificent work is simply amazing.
Could it be that this was arranged by the Bad Commander?
But that doesn't seem like it. Although Bad Commander is proficient in battle formations, this is not his style...
She knew that she had accidentally glimpsed the secret of the empire, but she did not make it public. Instead, she chose to bury it deep in her heart and never tell anyone about it.
She continued walking, and she didn't know how long it had passed before she led the horse onto the bridge. Below her was the sparkling Seoul Lake. The scenery was very beautiful and refreshing.
This lake is connected to the Bashui River, with easy access and a wide view, so people come here to play all year round and fishermen come here to fish.
Suddenly, a splash sound was heard. A naughty child accidentally fell from the bridge into the lake.
"Hurry up and save my child, he can't swim!"
"Please, save him!"
The mother on the shore shouted anxiously. She couldn't swim and could only ask passers-by for help.
The girl in black didn't even think about it. Her military instinct made her jump into the lake to save people, but the next moment, the bell on her waist suddenly rang.
The girl's eyes narrowed, her gaze as sharp as a knife.
There is a monster!
The bell on her waist is called the Monster-hunting Bell. If there is a monster around, it will automatically ring to warn. The louder the bell, the stronger the monster.
At this moment, the bell rang loudly and clearly, and was very sharp, which showed how powerful the monster was!
Without having time to think about why there were demons in Chang'an City, the girl flew to the bridgehead, took off the golden bow on her back, put the demon-subduing arrow specially made by the Imperial Observatory on the string, pulled it into a full moon, and aimed at the seemingly calm lake.
Her heroic eyebrows frowned slightly, and after hesitating for a moment, she finally put down the bow and arrow.
Because the little boy was about to sink into the water, she saw others trying to jump into the water to save him, so she shouted, "There is a monster in the water, no one is allowed to enter the water, get out of here!"
After hearing her words and recalling the horror of water monkeys during the Chang'an flood, many people hurriedly left the river bank.
The girl in black who was shouting at everyone to stay away jumped into the lake with a splash. With a determined look in her eyes and a dagger in her mouth, she swam towards the child at an extremely fast speed.
Ten feet, nine feet, eight feet, seven feet...
Just as she was about to reach the little boy, her spiritual sense, which had been honed through years of fighting monsters, gave her a frantic warning. A sense of crisis swept through her body, making her spine numb and a chill run down her spine.
She knew that this time she was probably in great danger, but she was still unafraid and her eyes were filled with murderous intent.
The little boy sank quickly, and she wanted to dive into the water after him without hesitation, but the next moment, a column of water rose, and a huge white snake about ten feet long swam out of the lake, its scales crystal clear, like jade.
The little boy was lying on its body.
In an instant, the rolling evil spirit spread out, causing huge waves and almost blowing the girl in black away.
The white snake looked up at the sky and hissed.
Boom!
The sky was filled with dark clouds and flashes of lightning, faintly locking onto the white snake.
There was shock in the girl's eyes. This was a snake demon that was preparing to survive a thunder tribulation. Its strength exceeded that of any demon she had killed before. It seemed that it had a natural ability to control water, making it invincible in the water.
She knew that she would probably die here. If she were on land, she would still have a 30% chance of winning, but in the water, the chance would be almost zero.
But then, a scene she didn't expect appeared.
The people on the shore were not afraid, but cheered instead.
"It's the white dragon raised by the national teacher!"
"Look, Bai Long is saving that child!"
"Incredible! As expected of a creature raised by the state master, it is about to pass the thunder tribulation. Judging from its posture, it will not really turn into a real dragon!"
…
The people of Chang'an were not afraid of the white snake; on the contrary, they liked it quite a lot.
Because when Chang'an was hit by a flood, the White Snake had also made great efforts. It used its power to control water to save people and bit countless water monkeys to death. Many people's lives had been saved by it.
Therefore, many people do not think it is a monster. Instead, they affectionately call it the White Dragon and even built a Dragon King Temple for it.
Another thing is that the White Snake was raised by Li Daoxuan. With this relationship, the people naturally love the White Snake as well.
The girl in black was a little confused. She didn’t know when the monster became a good one?
Is this white snake raised by the national teacher?
She was a little bit unbelievable, but as the white snake lowered its head and presented the little boy to her, she had to believe it.
The white snake arched its head, as if reminding her to stay away quickly.
The girl swam quickly to the lakeshore with the little boy. After returning the child to his mother, she quickly turned her head to look at the white snake.
In the Seoul Lake, the white snake floated most of its body out of the water, its body exuding a strong water-based power, even mixed with the power of incense. In contrast, its own demonic aura was not that strong.
It looked up to the sky and roared towards the thunderclouds.
boom!
A bolt of lightning struck it, but failed to break its solid scales.
Boom! Boom! Boom…
Thunderbolts began to fall one after another, striking it like a torrential rain, each one more powerful than the last. The escaped lightning almost boiled the entire Seoul Lake, and countless small fish and shrimps were tragically affected.
Finally, after countless thunders, the white snake's seemingly indestructible scales began to turn charred and cracks appeared.
A few more thunders fell, and the white snake let out a painful hiss. Its scales fell off and shattered with a snapping sound, and it seemed that it was about to fail in its tribulation.
The onlookers expressed their concerns, and some even cheered the White Snake on.
Boom!
Another powerful and domineering bolt of lightning fell, as thick as a thigh and mixed with a hint of purple light.
The white snake let out a mournful cry, then fell into the lake. Its body seemed to be torn into pieces, and there was no life left.
At this time, the thunderclouds in the sky also dispersed, but unfortunately, the White Snake seemed to have failed to survive the tribulation.
However, the girl in black shook her head and murmured, "No..."
Because the demon-hunting bell on her waist began to ring again, and this time it was even louder, as if it was shattering!
Crash~
The lake water was churning, and the charred white snake surfaced again. Its snake skin began to crack, revealing new snow-white skin, as pure and flawless as winter ice and snow.
A pair of small horns grew on its snake head, like the legendary dragon. Under the sunlight, it was as crystal clear and had a sacred beauty.
The people on the shore cheered loudly, celebrating Bai Long's successful tribulation.
The white snake nodded to them, and the two horns on its head glowed white. Then, in the middle of June, frost flakes actually fell. The snowflakes had a strange fragrance, and when they fell on people, they instantly blended into their skin and flesh, making them feel refreshed.
Many people felt their inner heat gone, their summer heat instantly dissipated, and they felt harmonious and full in spirit, and clearly gained some benefits.
The girl in black took a deep look at the white snake, her eyes still filled with confusion.
This snake demon is actually willing to consume its own magical power to repay these people?
Is this really something a demon could do?
After the white snake cast the spell, its body rose into the air, riding the clouds and controlling the wind, straight into the blue sky and disappearing into the sea of clouds, already possessing some of the power of a divine dragon.
The people by the lake were still talking excitedly, as if they had a sense of honor to witness history.
The White Snake transcends tribulation, and snow falls in June.
This incident was destined to be passed down through word of mouth and become one of the legends of Chang'an City.
…
Xuandu Courtyard.
Li Daoxuan finished his stargazing trip, but did not gain much. This time, the divination was vague and obscure, as if it involved some powerful existence that made it difficult for him to see clearly.
We can only draw a vague conclusion that the last type of blood seems to be near Chang'an.
But there is no way of knowing where exactly it is.
This is also the shackles of the art of divination. Sometimes when some big figures are involved, it will be like looking at flowers in the fog and it will be difficult to see clearly.
In addition, the calculated secrets should not be spoken out, otherwise it will destroy one's own luck and bring many disasters. This is why many fortune tellers are always vague and like to play riddles.
Of course, if your own cultivation level is high enough, you don’t have to be afraid of these.
Um?
Li Daoxuan raised his eyes and saw a snake body emerging from the sea of clouds, like a dragon tumbling. It was actually Xiaobai. It had two horns on its head and a body length of nearly twenty feet. Although it had just grown up and was very tender, it already had some of the appearance of a dragon.
Li Daoxuan was amazed. In addition to the ability to walk on water and the size of Xiaobai, Xiaobai had also awakened the ability to control the clouds and fly. There seemed to be other abnormal changes. It was truly an extraordinary fortune.
whoosh!
Xiaobai, who had undergone a transformation after surviving the thunder tribulation, became three inches flew towards Li Daoxuan's sleeve, wrapping around his wrist like a white bracelet.
"Haha, Xiaobai, I didn't expect you to be able to reach the Yin God realm so quickly, and you attracted a thunder tribulation right after becoming a Yin God. Not bad, not bad!"
Li Daoxuan smiled happily.
He invested a lot of resources in Xiaobai. According to the records in "The Secret Art of Raising Dragons", he not only refined the Dragon Pill for him, but also often used his magic power to clear his meridians and warm his body. In addition, with the help of the Dragon-Tiger Golden Pill and Wuzhiqi's blood essence, Xiaobai's practice was able to progress rapidly.
Moreover, its bloodline is quite extraordinary. After absorbing a few drops of Wuzhiqi's blood, it gradually gained the potential to become a true dragon. It had just cultivated to the Yin Shen realm when it was struck by thunder.
The more potential and extraordinary bloodline a monster has, the more likely it is to attract thunder tribulations, and the higher the level of cultivation required to transform. This can be considered a kind of alternative fairness.
Most monsters will experience thunder tribulations when they break through the Yang God realm, and they can transform when they reach the Yin God realm. Xiaobai and Xiaotian are just the opposite, they are still unable to transform even when they reach the Yin God realm, which actually shows that they have huge potential.
Li Daoxuan is very much looking forward to its future. Whether it transforms into a real dragon, or into an ancient beast like Xiangliu or Zhulong, Xiaobai can be said to have a bright future.
Li Daoxuan stretched out his hand to touch Xiaobai's head, but a clear and gentle voice sounded, like the trickling stream in the water town of Jiangnan and the drizzle under the apricot blossoms.
"Master, Xiaobai is so sleepy."
Li Daoxuan's expression froze. Xiaobai is a girl?
What's going on? I'm not raising Bai Suzhen as a pet, am I?
