Chapter 478: Qin Luqi is presented as a gift, and the Four Saints Formation is completed!
Xuandu Courtyard.
The man wearing the Green Emperor mask came over at night and said respectfully, "Master, do you have any instructions?"
Li Daoxuan invited him to take a seat and said with a smile: "Qingdi, although you are my subordinate now, we are still friends in private. There is no need to be so restrained."
Qingdi felt warm in his heart, but did not say anything.
The national teacher treated him as a friend and gave him the opportunity to join Zhelong and rise to fame. While he was grateful, he also reminded himself all the time not to get carried away and to maintain enough respect for the national teacher.
Seeing him sitting upright, Li Daoxuan sighed softly in his heart and stopped trying to persuade him. Instead, he asked, "I came to you this time mainly to ask you one thing. Where did you find the book "The Legend of Liu Sheng"? "
Qingdi once said that he traveled across six states before he found such a book.
The Green Emperor said without hesitation: "It is Hongzhou, Yuzhang City."
Hearing this, Li Daoxuan's eyes moved, and the guess in his mind gradually became clear.
"Do you remember what the person who sold you the books looked like?"
The Green Emperor thought for a moment and said, "That is an old study. The shopkeeper is an old woman who holds a cane, has gray hair, a kind face, and wears brown cloth. But she walks quite steadily."
Li Daoxuan pointed his finger, and five-colored divine light flowed, condensing into the face of an old woman in the air.
"Is it her?"
The Qing Emperor immediately said, "It's her, exactly the same!"
Li Daoxuan nodded and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He wondered how it could be such a coincidence. So that's it...
He looked towards the direction of the Qingyi Temple in Chang'an City, with a hint of a smile on his face.
The queen seemed to ignore him on the surface, but in fact she was still concerned about his affairs and made silent contributions.
The old woman that the Green Emperor saw was the grandmother who served the Queen, and had followed her for nearly a thousand years. If it were not for the Queen's secret instructions, this grandmother would never have left the Qingming Realm.
"Master, is there anything wrong? Am I being used by someone with ulterior motives?"
The Green Emperor's voice sounded somewhat uneasy.
Li Daoxuan comforted him: "It's okay, you did a great job and accomplished a great deed!"
The Qing Emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was most afraid that he would cause trouble for the Imperial Master.
"Please tell Wang Bo that from today onwards, the "Legend of Liu Sheng" will be strictly investigated in the territory of the Tang Dynasty. All books must be handed over and burned. If anyone dares to stop us, we will deal with them according to the law."
"promise!"
Watching the departing back of the Green Emperor, Li Daoxuan smiled slightly.
Originally he was still thinking about how to lure the five evil elders into the game, but now a book called "The Legend of the Yagyu" has given him a perfect starting point.
Yes, according to the Empress' plan, if Li Daoxuan wanted to break through the Yangshen Realm within three months, he would need two steps in total. The first was to set up the Four Saints Formation, and the second was to find a way to lure the Five Evil Elders into Chang'an.
At least two of the Five Evil Elders are needed. The more there are, the greater the chance of Li Daoxuan's success in breaking through the Yang God Realm.
After obtaining the blood of the Four Saints, Li Daoxuan was thinking about how to lure the Five Evil Elders into the capital, which was why he had asked the Green Emperor to spread the news of his death everywhere.
But the Five Evil Elders are all old foxes who have been famous for decades, and each of them cherishes his life very much. Li Daoxuan has no confidence at all whether he can make them take the bait.
After all, they have been missing for decades.
Li Daoxuan was originally troubled by this, but who would have thought that a book "The Legend of Yagyu" would allow him to meet Qianjizi, one of the Five Evil Elders, and discover the other party's secret plan and know the key to it - Yang Qi!
The more powerful the cultivator is, the more he cannot relax in his practice. The Five Evil Elders are no exception. The reason why they have been able to live in seclusion for decades is because they have Qianjizi who is using yang energy to refine pills.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for evil practitioners who are extremely dependent on cultivation resources to disappear for decades.
Li Daoxuan had reason to suspect that Qianjizi used the art of alchemy to bring the Five Evil Elders together to form a subtle force. They were connected to each other and fought the enemy together.
Therefore, Qianjizi seemed very confident in his conversation with him, and even threatened Li Daoxuan if he wanted to go against the Five Evil Elders.
Li Daoxuan sneered.
He just wanted to cut off the other party's "source of money" and damage the interests of the five evil elders. In this way, he believed that these old foxes would definitely jump out.
Of course, before they entered Chang'an, Li Daoxuan still needed to completely set up the Four Saints Formation.
Looking at the four drops of blood in the Three Realms Gourd that contained majestic spiritual energy, Li Daoxuan smiled slightly.
It will be soon. According to the feedback from His Majesty, the formation base in Chang'an City will be completely completed in three days at most...
Thousand Cave Heavens.
Qianjizi looked at the jade pendant that had fallen into silence, a hint of indignation in his eyes , and took the initiative to speak.
"Old Zhu, Zhang Qianyang once chased you for a full three thousand miles. If I hadn't provided you with Yangling Pills every year, would your injury have healed so quickly?"
The domineering and rough voice from the jade pendant rang out, but this time it was a little more awkward.
"Qianjizi, I am a disciple of Zhang Qianyang. I naturally want to eat his flesh and drink his blood, but you also know that my Tianpeng transformation is at a critical time. How about this, I will come to help you after I break through!"
Qianjizi's eyes darkened. This guy had been shouting about a breakthrough ten years ago and has been shouting until today.
"Madam Bai Gu, what about you? Don't you like handsome young men the most? If you agree to fight Li Daoxuan together, after you catch him, you can use him as a cauldron and take essence from him at will!"
"Haha, it's a very tempting suggestion, but unfortunately I've recently entered Tiankui, so it's not convenient for me to take the essence. Oh, I'm so sorry..."
Qianjizi was so angry that his teeth were itching. She was almost a hundred years old, what the hell was this?
They are all a bunch of old foxes who won’t release their eagles until they see the rabbit!
"Bai Mu, you are not afraid of Li Daoxuan, right?"
A somewhat crazy voice came from the jade pendant.
"Afraid? Haha, I wish I could dig out his divine eye right now. I have a feeling that it will be my most proud treasure!"
Qianjizi breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, someone supported him. Although this person was a little unstable, sometimes when he was in a killing spree, he would not even let his teammates go...
"Wu Wen, what do you mean?"
A deep and slightly hoarse voice came from the jade pendant, like a blunt knife cutting flesh.
"According to the agreement, Qianjizi regularly provides us with Yangling Pills for cultivation. When he encounters an enemy in the Yangshen realm, we must also help him once."
“Although Li Daoxuan is not in the Yang God Realm, everyone knows that he is far more difficult to deal with than ordinary Yang God Realm warriors. What I want to remind everyone is that the real difficulty is not how to deal with Li Daoxuan, but how to deal with Longhu Mountain behind him.”
The man known as the Five Plagues spoke in a deep and thoughtful voice as he continued to analyze, "No matter how powerful Li Daoxuan is, it is not difficult for the five of us to take him down. The real problem is his master Zhang Qianyang, his grandmaster Zhang Zhiyan, and the ghost fairy from the Qingming Realm."
"In other words, our real opponent is the entire Longhu Mountain and an unfathomable ghost fairy."
After hearing this, Qianjizi fell silent, and the others stopped talking.
They were all old foxes, so they naturally knew that Wu Wen's words were not alarmist. In fact, many people had thought of this in advance, so they were vague in their responses to Qian Ji Zi's request for help.
After a moment, the voices of the Five Plagues continued to sound.
"How about this, we can wait and see near Chang'an to see if there is a chance to hit with one strike. If there is, we can kill Li Daoxuan together, then quickly escape and hide for a few decades to wait for Zhang Zhiyan to die first."
"Of course, if there is no chance, don't blame us for being ruthless, Qianjizi. After all, although the Yangling Pill is important, it is not enough for us to fight a bloody battle with the entire Longhu Mountain."
The words of Wu Wen were recognized by everyone.
What they really fear is the power behind Li Daoxuan. On this basis, if they could kill Li Daoxuan swiftly with thundering means and then immediately hide to the ends of the earth and hide their identities, it would not be unacceptable.
After all, the endless supply of Yang Ling Dan every year is indeed very important to them.
Although Qianjizi did not get a satisfactory answer, he knew that this was the only way for now.
"Okay, let's go to Chang'an first."
"Haha, come to think of it, I am a little moved. There should be many handsome men in Chang'an..."
"Haha, it's been a long time since our five evil elders showed up. This time we will act together to kill Li Daoxuan first, then kill Li Shimin, and occupy Chang'an City. This immortal will also get to experience the thrill of being an emperor, hahaha!"
"Hehe, it is said that Li Shimin had a very beautiful queen. I, Old Zhu, have been in the pigpen all day long, and I haven't eaten meat for a long time..."
A huge storm seems to be brewing quietly.
…
Two days later, at night.
Under curfew, the city of Chang'an was empty except for the patrolling soldiers.
There was a young and handsome Taoist priest in the Qingyi Temple. He was wearing a moon-white Taoist robe, holding a Qilin jade whisk, and bowing to the statue of the Qingyi Goddess.
"Qing Ni, thank you for helping me secretly."
"Now the formation base in Chang'an City has been completed, and the blood of the four saints has been prepared. Everything is ready. We just need to set up the formation tonight!"
"I know you like guqin. This is the famous guqin 'Luqi' that I asked someone to find for you. It is said to be the one in Sima Xiangru's hand. But I am a rough man and I don't know whether it is true or not. Qingni, you are an expert, why don't you come and take a look?"
Li Daoxuan took out a guqin from the Sanjie gourd and placed it on the altar. Inside the guqin, he saw an inscription that read "Tongzi Hejing", which means the essence of the combination of paulownia and zelkova wood. According to legend, these four words were engraved on the Luqi guqin.
However, the statue of the Green-robed Lady remained motionless.
Li Daoxuan sighed and said, "Anyway, I'll put the piano here. If you like it, play it. If you don't like it... just throw it away."
After saying this, Li Daoxuan bowed again, then turned and left the Qingyi Temple.
After his figure walked away.
Suddenly, wisps of fairy light lit up on the statue of the Green-Robed Lady, and then a translucent figure slowly floated out, with long black hair hanging down to her waist, colorful clothes fluttering in the wind, and a pair of starry eyes that were even brighter than the bright moon in the sky. Her cold and beautiful face made the entire temple seem brighter.
She stretched out her flawless white palm, her fingers slender and graceful as a butterfly, and gently brushed the Luqi guqin.
The sound of the piano was as clear as the blue waves of spring water, and the lingering sound was like a lingering sound. Even with her pickiness, she had to admit that this was a rare and good piano.
Looking at the four words engraved on the inside of the zither - "Tongzi Hejing", Lady Qingyi's eyes were filled with ripples.
This is Sima Xiangru's Luqi harp. According to legend, Sima Xiangru played the song "The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix" with Luqi at Zhuo Wangsun's banquet to express his love for Zhuo Wangsun's daughter Zhuo Wenjun.
Later, Zhuo Wenjun appreciated his talent and eloped with him, and they became married. In the end, Sima Xiangru became famous all over the world, and his story with Zhuo Wenjun became a tale that will be passed down through the ages.
Li Daoxuan gave her this zither, could it be that he was hinting at something...
After hesitating for a moment, she finally sighed softly and chose to pick up the Luqi guqin.
…
far away.
Li Daoxuan, who was standing on the auspicious cloud, moved his ears. With the help of his supernatural power of hearing, he heard the clear and melodious sound of the Luqiqin, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
The queen finally accepted it.
From then on, every time she played the piano, she would subconsciously think of herself and couldn't forget it even if she wanted to.
In fact, there was more than one guqin in Li Shimin's collection, but Li Daoxuan still chose Luqi, and the focus was on the story behind this guqin.
I believe that the knowledgeable and talented queen will definitely have some associations.
With a smile, Li Daoxuan took out a thick scroll from the Three Realms Gourd, his eyes showing a hint of excitement.
The Four Sacred Formation Diagram!
After a long period of planning, today is finally the time to set up the formation!
"In the east, Jia and Yi woods are paired with Mao, and Shang Men is paired with Zhen Si Qing Long; in the west, Geng and Xin metals are paired with You, and Jing Men is paired with Dui Er Bai Hu; in the south, Bing and Ding fires are paired with Wu, and Jing Men is paired with Li San Zhu Que; in the north, Ren and Gui waters are paired with Zi, and Xiu Men is paired with Kan Liu Xuan Wu..."
As he continued to chant spells and make incantations, the Four Sacred Formation automatically floated in the night sky, constantly expanding, and finally with a loud bang it turned into starlight and fell into the entire Chang'an city.
The next moment, the formation bases that Li Shimin ordered people to build vibrated slightly, emitting a faint light in the dark night, faintly forming a Bagua pattern that enveloped the entire Chang'an.
Then Li Daoxuan gently slapped the Three Realms Gourd, and four drops of blood flew out and fell in four places in Chang'an City.
They are the Qinglong Terrace in the Taiji Palace, the Wutong Pavilion on Suzaku Street, the Baihu Palace deep in the Zhaoling Mausoleum, and the Xuanwu Pool under the Hancheng Lake.
These four places suddenly shone like stars, illuminating all directions, shocking countless monks in Chang'an City.
In a small courtyard.
Lou Ling held the golden bow in his hand and silently recited the "Dou Mu Yuanjun Bow Refining Magic Spell". Rays of starlight fell from the sky and poured into the golden bow, making the bow even more magical.
Lu Chunliang was indeed not careful with his mouth. After getting drunk one time, he revealed the secret technique of Maoshan Mountain.
The more Lou Ling practiced, the more he felt that this secret technique was particularly suitable for him.
Suddenly, she frowned, and the starlight that was drawn to her paused.
Just now her heart suddenly beat violently, as if she was frightened by something.
She flew to the roof and looked at Chang'an City under the night sky. There was obviously no change, and no powerful enemy invaded, but she had a vague feeling that Chang'an City... seemed a little different.
…
Observatory.
Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang, suddenly opened their eyes and looked towards Chang'an City together.
"Haha, from today on, Chang'an will have two stages, one is Chang'an before today, and the other is Chang'an after today!"
Yuan Tiangang laughed particularly heartily.
Even the calm Li Chunfeng raised his lips slightly and said, "Brother, the Imperial Master has already started, we can't hold him back."
Yuan Tiangang laughed and said, "That's right, let's continue to deduce!"
…
Taiji Palace, Lizheng Hall.
Empress Changsun was wearing a phoenix robe and reading poetry under the lamp. It was late at night, but she still could not fall asleep.
During this period, His Majesty was busy until very late every day, and even went out of the palace to supervise something in person, often returning at three o'clock in the morning.
She would light an oil lamp and wait quietly until three o'clock in the morning.
I don’t know how long it had been, but suddenly a hearty laugh was heard outside the door, and Li Shimin, wearing a dragon robe, pushed the door open and walked in, looking high-spirited and in high spirits.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, it's done."
Although Empress Chang Sun didn't know what was going on, she didn't ask, but just congratulated him.
Li Shimin looked at his dignified and beautiful wife under the candlelight, and he was so excited that he stepped forward, picked her up, and walked towards the phoenix bed.
Empress Chang Sun's face flushed instantly, and the poetry book in her hands fell to the ground.
She whispered, "Your Majesty, it's already late today, and you still have to attend court tomorrow..."
"Haha , no problem. I'm happy. I'll take a day off tomorrow!"
Empress Changsun was surprised. His Majesty had always been diligent. What could have made him so happy?
However, she had no time to think, because Li Shimin had already carried her to the bedside.
Pieces of clothing were thrown to the ground one by one, including phoenix robes, embroidered shoes, silk stockings, and pure white underwear...
That night, in the Lizheng Palace, the red candle tent was warm and the dragon and phoenix were singing.
