Chapter 527: The realm of the national teacher is as high as the sky
On August 11, the seventh year of Zhenguan, five years passed in the blink of an eye.
Bohai County of the Tang Dynasty, Tianchi Lake of Changbai Mountain.
The white snow never melts all year round, the lake is sparkling and clear, like a ring of jade embedded in the snow-capped mountains. When the sun shines on it, the lake is filled with clouds and fairy mist.
In this blessed place, heaven and earth are also white-haired.
However, the Tianchi Lake was a little unsettled today. The birds flying around were flapping their wings desperately, and even the fish in the river were jumping around, looking restless.
The village at the foot of the mountain had long been deserted, and the entire Changbai Mountain seemed to have become a forbidden zone for life.
Gurgle gurgle!
At some point, the water in Tianchi began to bubble and became increasingly hot.
At the bottom of the lake, a figure was sitting cross-legged on a rock covered with green algae, his long hair fluttering in the water, his face was handsome, his upper body was bare, his muscles were well-proportioned and strong, as if they were cut by a knife or an axe, smooth and not bloated.
The pores all over his body dilated, absorbing the water power of Tianchi, refining it into his own magic power, and comprehending the great way of water.
After an unknown amount of time, the lake water completely boiled, and the fish were boiled to pieces, but the figure remained motionless.
Snap!
The mud at the bottom of the lake cracked, and flames emerged. Deep red magma flowed out and quickly cooled in the water, turning into glassy rock.
Tianchi Lake in Changbai Mountain has always been a fairyland described by literati and poets, but few people know that it is actually a dormant volcano.
After sleeping for thousands of years, the volcano finally woke up.
boom!
The earth shook and magma gushed out.
It was also at this moment that the figure sitting cross-legged in meditation suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze was as bright as the sun, as if the Samadhi fire was burning fiercely.
His hair dancing in the water suddenly turned into wisps of dancing flames.
The magma washed over his body, burning his flesh and bones into charcoal, and even cooking his internal organs, but his eyes became brighter and brighter, reflecting the towering column of magma and the gray clouds that covered the sky.
After an unknown amount of time, this man who was as strong as iron could not withstand the erosion of magma and his flesh and blood were burned.
Bang!
His figure suddenly disappeared, replaced by a strand of hair burnt to ashes.
…
Chang'an City, Xuandu Temple.
The fragrance of bodhi charcoal wafts in the air.
Li Daoxuan sat leaning against a pillar, his breathing intermittent, his expression peaceful and calm, as if he was asleep.
After an unknown amount of time, his eyelids trembled slightly, and his skin suddenly became hot, even with scorching flames appearing, and he seemed to be in a sea of fire.
But even a raging fire could not burn his current Dharma body. He sat quietly in the flames, like a green lotus in the fire, unmoved.
After a while, the flames gradually went out.
Li Daoxuan slowly opened his eyes, his gaze was calm and deep, and the 18,000 acupuncture points on his body were shining like stars in the sky.
Huangting Ancient Scripture, the third level!
In addition to improving his cultivation, what Li Daoxuan spent the most energy on in the past five years was the Great Five Elements Escape Technique. For this purpose, he did not hesitate to divide a large amount of his magic power and let his clones travel to the ends of the earth to comprehend the Five Elements according to the places calculated by Li Chunfeng.
The volcanic eruption of Tianchi Lake in Changbai Mountain was calculated by Li Chunfeng, with the time error within a quarter of an hour.
"The way of fire has been perfected, and the others should be almost there too."
With a thought in his mind, Li Daoxuan's third eye between his eyebrows opened, illuminating the ten directions of heaven and earth, and the five lakes and four seas.
He saw that in an underground mine somewhere, one of his clones was comprehending the way of gold, and in the depths of the ocean storm, another of his clones was comprehending the way of water.
"The Wood and Earth Element have already been cultivated to perfection. Now we just have to wait for these two clones to have a sudden realization. After that, we will be able to completely cultivate the Great Five Elements Escape Technique to perfection, achieve the Five Elements True Body, and obtain the Great Heavenly Power of the Five Elements Escape!"
The Five Elements Great Escape is not only a great magical power with infinite uses, but more importantly, it is also one of the two conditions for practicing the Innate Five-Colored Divine Light.
"According to the time, the semi-annual sermon will arrive in seven days. I hope I can completely master the Great Five Elements Escape Technique before then."
He did not spend the entire five years in seclusion . Instead, he came out every six months to rest for a while.
He not only preached to the members of the Zhelong Sect, but also chatted and played chess with His Majesty, and checked on the progress of his disciples' training.
Li Daoxuan summoned the little flower goddess. Even though five years had passed, her body had not grown much bigger. She had only grown less than an inch taller, but she had gained a little weight.
"Daddy, don't worry about your cultivation. I will definitely protect you!"
She held the small wooden spear that Li Daoxuan had made for her and spoke confidently.
Li Daoxuan shook his head and smiled, then rubbed her head with one finger, making her hair soft and fluffy.
"If I don't come out of retreat after seven days, tell them to wait quietly. Give each of them three drops of nectar and ask them to meditate in the courtyard to practice."
When the little flower god heard that he was going to be given nectar, he immediately became unhappy.
It was not until Li Daoxuan promised to buy her a lot of delicious food that she finally smiled.
…
Time flies like an arrow.
In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.
Except for the brother and sister Zhurong and Dianmu, all the members of the Zhelong clan came from all corners of the world and gathered in the Xuandu Temple in Chang'an, waiting for the leader to come out.
They usually do not stay in Chang'an, but are scattered throughout the Tang Dynasty. Wherever there are demons or ghosts that the Bad People cannot deal with, they will rush there as soon as possible.
Because of the assistance of the Zhoutian Xingdou Great Array, during these five years, the demons in the territory of the Tang Dynasty were either killed or escaped from the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the demons gradually faded from the sight of the people.
God of Cookery, Yue Lao, Tian Peng, Zhu Rong, Dian Mu, Qing Emperor, Erlang Shen!
Although there were only seven people in the first generation of Zhelong, they gradually became famous in the Tang Dynasty. Among them, Erlang Shen, Tianpeng, Zhurong and Dianmu were the most famous. Countless demons and evil cultivators died at their hands, and they were known as the Four Pillars of the Country.
Because of their heavy killing spree, even some disciples from the righteous sects would feel timid when they saw them, and through word of mouth, the reputation of Zhelong quickly rose!
The Tang Dynasty, whether in the secular world or in the monastic world, is like a rising sun, brilliant and dazzling, illuminating all directions.
At this time, some major sects hoped to have their disciples join Zhelong, but were all rejected.
The national teacher Li Daoxuan personally established the rules that any disciple of the sect who wants to join Zhelong must first join the Bad People, slay demons and monsters, accumulate military merits, and then gradually be promoted until they can join Zhelong.
Although the major sects were dissatisfied with this rule, they did not dare to raise any objections.
After all, it was the court that had a ruthless man who, five years ago, single-handedly swept through the White Horse Temple in Luoyang and almost reduced the thousand-year-old temple to ruins.
In terms of foundation, not many sects dare to say that they can surpass the White Horse Temple.
"Old Qing, you are the most well-informed. Can you tell me how many beautiful young ladies in Chang'an are ready to get married? Can you help me find a matchmaker?"
Wu Wei, wearing the Yue Lao mask, and Qing Di were arm in arm, revealing an expression that all men understand.
It's been five years. God knows how he got through these five years. Every day he either practiced cultivation or went out on field work with that rough guy Wang Bo. Not to mention the smell of cosmetics, all that could be smelled was Wang Bo's sweat!
This matchmaker mask was chosen in vain.
On the other hand, the God of Cookery, with his big belly, was able to team up with the slim and pretty girl wearing the Erlang Shen mask. He had those slender white hands and a voice as cold as a queen...
Lou Ling suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were as cold as a knife under the mask, making Wu Wei shrink his neck.
So scary…
Lou Ling closed his eyes and continued to sit cross-legged to practice.
Not far away, Wang Bo, wearing a Tianpeng mask, was also practicing hard. This was the place where the national teacher practiced. It was a place where the essence of the sun and the moon gathered together. It could be called a blessed land. It was extremely difficult for ordinary people to come here once.
The Green Emperor sighed and said helplessly: "I do have information about a lot of girls, but unfortunately... the Imperial Master won't let me tell you. He told you to practice well and not to lose him."
Wu Wei curled his lips, looked at the fat boy sitting next to Erlang Shen, who was practicing hard, and sighed: "I don't know since when Brother Food God has changed, he has also become very hardworking. Alas, my path is very lonely..."
Zhelong has become famous in the past five years. Tianpeng, Erlang Shen, Zhurong and Dianmu have become even more famous and are known as the four pillars of the country. Others also feel the pressure.
Only Wu Wei continued to do his own thing, obsessed with studying all kinds of strange and bizarre magic weapons. His ability in refining equipment improved by leaps and bounds, but his cultivation was still only at the initial stage of Yin Shen.
The Green Emperor is the most mysterious and has the weakest presence, but he can always come up with extremely valuable information at critical moments. He can be said to have eyes and ears everywhere.
"Lao Qing, what realm is the National Master at now?"
Wu Wei recalled the last time he saw his senior brother preaching. His senior brother did not use any magic power, but his voice was like thunder, and his conversation resonated with the great Dao, causing the Chang'an City to be filled with brilliant glow that lasted for three whole days.
At that time, he even felt that his senior brother had become an immortal.
The Green Emperor said calmly: "I only know that the state master's realm is very high."
"How high is it? Is it taller than the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in Chang'an?"
The Green Emperor pointed to the top of his head and said seriously, "It's as high as the sky."
Wu Wei rolled his eyes immediately. Well, forget that Lao Qing is a fanatical admirer of Senior Brother. Even if you say that Senior Brother is the reincarnation of the Jade Emperor, I am afraid he will believe it...
"I say, Lao Qing, you——"
Boom!
Before Wu Wei could finish his words, the five elements of energy in Xuandu Temple suddenly moved abnormally, surging like a tide, causing huge waves.
Lou Ling and Wang Bo, who had the highest cultivation level, opened their eyes at the same time with expressions of surprise.
Crash!
The land beneath their feet suddenly turned into an endless ocean. Caught off guard, Wu Wei, Qing Di and the God of Food all fell into the sea.
Lou Ling and Wang Bo were flying in the air, looking around vigilantly. Could there be an enemy attack?
How is this possible? You have to know that this is Chang'an, the national master is here, and with the Four Saints formation, killing Yang Shen is as easy as butchering a dog. Even if an immortal came, he might not be able to get the upper hand.
They looked up under the golden light and suddenly found that the clouds above their heads had all turned golden. When they touched them, they felt a metallic texture.
boom!
In an instant, the five elements reversed and the world was turned upside down!
Lou Ling and Wang Bo felt that the sky was not the sky and the earth was not the earth, just like a porcelain bowl that was gently knocked down by someone.
Even though the two had already cultivated the first ray of pure Yang Qi, which was considered half-step to Yang Godhood, they still felt dizzy and top-heavy. When they came to their senses, they found themselves buried under the earth veins.
The grass and trees sprouted, broke through the soil, and quickly grew into towering trees. Their roots penetrated into everyone's bodies, absorbing their magical powers.
"Break it for me!!!"
Wang Bo transformed into a giant ape, his spine was like a dragon, his muscles were as hard as rock, and his surging blood and energy erupted like a volcano.
He broke out of the ground and pulled out a ten-foot-long ancient tree. Its golden hair shone like flames in the sunlight.
After cultivating pure Yang Qi, his ape-demon body became more violent and powerful. Perhaps because of years of observing the Great Sage, he even had a hint of Wuzhiqi's temperament.
The giant ape roared to the sky, and the sound shook the mountains!
"Who are you, you rat? Come out!"
"Don't even think about disturbing the Imperial Master's practice!"
He thought that an enemy had taken advantage of the critical moment when the imperial teacher was in seclusion to launch a sneak attack, so he became furious and swung a huge tree, shaking the earth and mountains.
"Be careful on the ground!"
Lou Ling, holding a large bow, also broke out of the ground. She channeled the pure Yang Qi into her eyes, and suddenly her eyes glowed with golden light, as sharp as a golden eagle. The scene around her moved abnormally slowly, and she saw every clue.
Thick vines slowly crawled on the ground and quietly reached the feet of the giant ape.
Lou Ling’s reminder was too late.
Countless vines suddenly sprang up, like dragons, wrapping around the giant ape's limbs, leaving it helpless .
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Lou Ling silently recited Dou Mu Yuan Jun's bow-refining magic spell, and starlight fell and turned into crystal clear arrows, which then shot down the vines like thunder and helped Wang Bo escape.
She has been practicing hard in the past five years, and has mastered the Maoshan Sect's Dou Mu Yuanjun bow-refining spell to such a high level that she can even shoot six arrows at once.
Lou Ling and Wang Bo stood together, fighting side by side, looking around vigilantly.
Half of a body emerged on the ground. It was Lu Chunliang wearing the mask of the God of Cookery. He escaped by using the art of escaping underground, and his voice was extremely solemn.
"Be careful, this is not an illusion, but a reversal of the five elements. Coupled with the special barrier formed by the spatial magic, my Maoshan Breaking Illusion True Talisman is completely useless!"
Lou Ling said calmly: "You sneak underground and wait for an opportunity to find the enemy. Leave the rest to me and Tian Peng."
"good!"
There was a hint of worry in Lu Chunliang's eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he took out a purple talisman that he treasured close to his body and handed it to Lou Ling without saying anything.
"This is a great teleportation talisman. It can save your life in times of crisis."
Lou Ling was slightly startled.
Having been a teammate for five years, she naturally knew how much this little fat boy feared death. This talisman was a life-saving talisman given to him by his master, and there was only one.
"You go first and save some fire for the hibernating dragon!"
Wang Bo sent her a message.
He could not help being pessimistic. Up to now, they had fought with all their might but had not even seen the enemy. It was conceivable how terrifying the enemy's strength was!
Fortunately, Zhurong and Dianmu had not returned yet due to official business, otherwise they, the Zhelong, would have been caught in one fell swoop.
Lou Ling shook her head, a hint of determination in her eyes. She put away the bow and held a three-pointed, double-edged sword in her hand.
This sword was once the weapon of the National Master. It was damaged in a battle with Wuzhiqi. Later, the National Master asked Yue Lao to recast the sword and gave it to her when she cultivated the first ray of pure Yang Qi.
"The Tang Dynasty only has dormant dragons that died in battle."
Her voice was cold and clear, with unparalleled firmness.
At this moment, Lu Chunliang suddenly jumped out of the ground and said in pain: "It's burned to death!!"
The earth cracked open and hot magma gushed out like pillars reaching into the sky.
The world is like a sea of fire, and all living things are like roasting meat.
boom!
The three figures were completely submerged in the magma.
…
Xuandu Courtyard.
The door opened automatically, and a figure in a green robe walked out slowly, with the Three Realms Gourd hanging from his waist and the Dragon Roar Sword in his arms. He stood with his hands behind his back, his black hair fluttering, his eyes like morning stars, and he smiled without saying a word.
As bright and clear as the green pines on the snow-capped mountains.
Lou Ling and the others looked at each other, still stuck in the "death" that had just happened.
"Yes, it seems that most of you have . Erlang Shen, Tianpeng, and Shi Shen, the three of you have performed very well. As for Yue Lao..."
Li Daoxuan walked over and kicked his junior brother Wu Wei, who had been unconscious from beginning to end.
"Still pretending, you've really practiced the Turtle Breathing Technique quite well."
