Chapter 47: Facing God Directly
Because of his practice of Purple Qi Yang Yuan Gong, Li Daoxuan's hearing was far superior to that of ordinary people. After the farmer entered the Qingyi Temple, he vaguely heard some sounds.
It seems to be a drought, praying for rain or something like that...
Finally, there were heavy kowtows, nine in a row.
After a while, he walked out of the Qingyi Temple. Li Daoxuan saw that there were bruises on his forehead, but he looked much more relaxed.
It was as if something heavy had finally been lifted.
Although the Green-Robed Goddess did not appear directly in response to his prayers, after kneeling devoutly, he felt relieved and seemed to believe that everything would be solved.
Li Daoxuan thought thoughtfully, perhaps this is the power of faith.
It was his turn. Li Daoxuan straightened his sleeves, slowly walked into the Qingyi Temple and closed the door.
The temple is simple and tidy, with only a mahogany table, a square incense burner, and a statue of a god. The air is filled with the faint scent of sandalwood, which makes people feel calm and all their worries disappear.
Li Daoxuan looked at the statue first. He was very curious about the Green-robed Lady.
I saw a god standing on a lotus, with fluttering ribbons, long hair like a waterfall, and an orchid in his hand, on which stood a tiny lark.
His eyes were filled with compassion, as if he was looking at all living beings.
Although it is just a sculpture, it is obviously the work of a master. The features are lifelike, elegant and refined, with an awe-inspiring and holy temperament that cannot be desecrated.
When he saw Him, Li Daoxuan actually felt as if he had seen the statue of Guanyin or Nuwa.
Facing this ghost fairy, Li Daoxuan did not dare to act rashly. He respectfully took out the black jars containing ghosts and placed them on the mahogany table.
Then he took out the three incense sticks given to him by his master, lit them and put them in the incense burner.
"Your Highness, I am Li Daoxuan, the ninth-generation disciple of Mount Longhu. I am here to attend the banquet on the orders of my master, Zhang Qianyang, and to send these souls to the Qingming Realm to be reincarnated. I hope Your Highness will be aware of this."
After saying this, Li Daoxuan bowed and saluted.
But there was no movement around.
Li Daoxuan was a little puzzled and looked up at the statue. Could it be that the Green-robed Lady was not here today but was out?
But the next moment, something strange happened.
The smoke from the three incense sticks lingered and gathered into a portal. A thick yin energy emerged. Through this portal, Li Daoxuan seemed to see another world.
There was no sunlight there, and it was gloomy and filled with a faint green light.
Qingming Realm!
Li Daoxuan widened his eyes. That should be the Qingming Realm. This method was truly magical. It was clearly in the human world, but it could forcibly open the barrier between Yin and Yang and connect the two worlds!
Those black jars seemed to sense something and began to jump. As Li Daoxuan uncovered the talisman, figures jumped out of the jars one after another, old and young, male and female. Among them was someone Li Daoxuan was familiar with, Wang Chunsheng.
He was the drug dealer who mistakenly entered Lijia Village and was eventually killed by a group of ghosts and became a groundbound ghost.
At this moment, their eyes were clear. They bowed to Li Daoxuan, then flew into the portal and entered the Qingming Realm.
After all the ghosts went in, the smoke began to dissipate slowly.
Li Daoxuan looked at the statue of the Green-robed Goddess. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the statue seemed to have become more lively all of a sudden, and its deep eyes seemed to be looking at him?
After hesitating for a moment, Li Daoxuan couldn't help but opened his Dharma Eyes and looked at the statue.
boom!
Endless light lit up, and Li Daoxuan saw a figure dressed in green. His features were not clear, and he could only vaguely see a spiritual pattern on his forehead, like a blooming Epiphyllum. His whole body was shrouded in a divine light of separation and combination, holy and inviolable.
Li Daoxuan screamed in pain and felt a sharp pain in his eyes, as if he was blinded by countless silver needles, and lines of blood flowed out.
But he didn't know that only those with profound Taoism could look directly at the true body of the gods.
Just when Li Daoxuan thought he was going blind, his eyebrows seemed to be touched lightly by fingertips, and a cool and warm feeling filled his eyes, and the pain disappeared.
When he opened his eyes again, everything around him was the same as before, the statue was still the same statue, and the three incense sticks were still burning quietly.
Li Daoxuan was filled with awe at this moment. He bowed deeply to the statue and said, "Thank you, my Goddess!"
He almost became blind, but fortunately the lady in green was magnanimous and not only did she not blame him, she also helped heal his eye injury.
Li Daoxuan even felt that his eyesight had been enhanced and the world in front of him seemed clearer.
At this moment, a chirping sound rang in his ears, and a tiny skylark landed on his head.
But the stone lark in the statue's hand disappeared.
"Hehe, you are so brave..."
The voice was as clear as a bell, like that of a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old.
The skylark flapped its wings, flew around Li Daoxuan, and continued to chirp.
"Your name is Li Daoxuan, right? My name is Xiao Que'er. The Queen was very angry just now, but I risked my life to protect you and said countless good things to you. Only then did the Queen forgive you."
It puffed out its chest with a proud look on its face, as if saying, "I'm so great, come on and praise me!"
Li Daoxuan laughed, he stretched out his hand and let the little skylark rest on his hand.
He didn't believe that Lady Qing Yi would be so petty, but he didn't point it out. Instead, he cooperated with her performance and said with a smile, "Thank you so much, Fairy Que."
The little skylark was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up and he somersaulted happily in Li Daoxuan's hands.
"Hehe, Fairy Que, you are so sweet to the ears, little Taoist priest, you are much better than your master!"
It chirped like a machine gun, praising Li Daoxuan. Finally, it said shyly, "Since you are so grateful to this bird... this fairy, I will reluctantly accept your thank-you gift."
Li Daoxuan was stunned. A thank you gift? What thank you gift?
Little Skylark turned his head and murmured, "I won't tell you, I like to eat the bugs in the orchard in the south of the city the most..."
Li Daoxuan laughed loudly and said, "Please rest assured, Fairy Que. I will go to the orchard in the south of the city to find a thank-you gift for you."
The little skylark stretched out a wing and touched his head, as if expressing its appreciation. You are very sensible, and the skylark felt very pleased.
"The Queen's banquet will be in the evening. Someone will pick you up then. Just don't leave Yuzhang City."
After saying this, it flapped its wings and flew back to the finger of the statue, where it quickly turned into stone and turned into a small stone bird.
Li Daoxuan smiled and shook his head. This skylark was quite cute and a bit childish.
Finally, he bowed again to the Lady in Green, then put away the black jars and walked out.
He felt relieved when he left Tsing Yi Temple.
It’s not that I’m afraid, but I can’t help feeling a little restrained in front of the big guy.
He recalled the figure he risked his life to see, but found that his memory was becoming increasingly vague. He clearly still remembered everything that had just happened, but he just couldn't remember what he had seen.
I only vaguely remember that figure was exceptionally holy, and seemed very beautiful...
