Chapter 577: The Fairy Bathes in the Falling Cloud Pond, and the Yang Gods of the World Fall into the Trap
Qingming Realm, Luoyun Pond.
This is the place where the Green-robed Lady bathes. The moonlight is the spring, the sun's essence is the fire, the spiritual veins converge, and the mist is lingering, making it seem like a fairyland.
It seems as if all the clouds in the sky have fallen into this pool, and the soup is like white jade and has a rich fragrance.
Ordinary people can strengthen their bodies and cure all diseases by bathing in this pool. For monks, bathing in this pool can improve their cultivation and nourish their bodies. It can be said to be a blessed place.
However, the owner of Luoyun Pond, the Queen of Qingming Realm, did not bathe. Instead, she sat on a lotus platform beside the pool. The fairy wheel behind her head was spinning, showing seven colors, holy and ethereal.
Her eyes were closed, and her slender hand gently folded and twisted, matching the numbers of the Nine Palaces, like a blooming lotus.
There are ripples in Luoyun Pond.
A beautiful lady is bathing in the pool. In the hazy fairy mist, one can vaguely see her skin, which is whiter than jade, her delicate and translucent collarbone, and the crystal dewdrops on it.
The inky black hair floated in the water, like the most precious brocade, or like an enchanting green snake.
"Sister, why are you so reserved? Why don't you come down to the pond and bathe together?"
After a pause, she said with a joking smile: "Seeing how holy and dignified you are, I really want to see you take off your clothes and see what you look like naked~"
Her voice was like a jade chime, like water flowing in the mountains, and the singing of birds among flowers. It was natural, lively, and unrestrained. Even in the face of the famous Lord of Qingming, she dared to tease him.
The lady in green slowly opened her eyes, her aura becoming more holy and majestic.
"It doesn't matter if you are dressed or naked. Beauty is but bones, it's just a dream. Taizhen, you are considered an immortal, how come you still can't see through that flesh and blood?"
The cultivation of Lady in Green has become more and more profound. At this moment, she is just telling the story in a leisurely manner, but it resonates with heaven and earth, and the sound of the Tao follows, carrying an indescribable and soul-stirring strange power.
Taizhen in the pool didn't buy it. She laughed and said, "Sister, if you really don't care about this body, why did you build this Luoyun Pool?"
The lady in green said calmly: "My practice is not enough, and I still have obsessions."
Taizhen smiled and said, "Sister's obsession is not... my handsome and cute little junior brother, right?"
The green-clothed lady's expression remained unchanged as she said coldly, "Taizhen, Li Daoxuan is my disciple's Taoist companion. Some jokes should not be made carelessly."
"Oh, sister is angry~"
Taizhen's beautiful eyes sparkled as she smiled and said, "How come when I mention my junior brother, my sister who is like a bodhisattva, you suddenly become like a mortal woman?"
Qingyi closed his eyes and said calmly, "It is said that after you disappeared in Zhongnan Mountain, Li Daoxuan sent Zhelong and the Bad People to search for you everywhere, and they have never given up in these years."
The smile on Taizhen's face froze.
"Why would a great Tang Dynasty imperial master be so obsessed with his senior sister?"
"What on earth did you experience during your time in Zhongnan Mountain? Why was the name Zhuge Qing deliberately covered up with Taoist magic to confuse the secrets of heaven?"
There was a hint of realization in Taizhen's eyes, as if she had recalled the years in the mountains. She played the role of Zhuge Qing and had a lot of fun with her junior brother.
The junior brother can tell stories, compose poems and lyrics, watch the sunrise with her, drink Baihuazui, and cook delicious dishes. Cha Cha likes him very much.
That was the most unforgettable period of her life, but unfortunately the story of Zhuge Qing and Li Xuan came to an abrupt end, and the ink on the book forever remained at the fourth chapter.
In the first chapter, the two met and she pointed out the clues of Chang'an's missing case.
In the second round, she brewed Hundred Flowers Drunk and used her great ability to reverse yin and yang to help him break through to the late stage of Yin God.
In the third chapter, the relationship between the two was further deepened because of a book called "The Legend of Yagyu", and she gave him the blood of the phoenix to help him complete the Four Saints Formation.
However, in the fourth chapter, because the two had skin contact, the Queen Mother of the West's consciousness was stimulated, and she temporarily took control of her body and almost killed him.
So she had to leave Chang'an with Cha Cha and live in hiding from then on.
Thinking about it now, that was actually five years ago.
"Taizhen, the reason you came to me this time to reinforce the seal was fake. I'm afraid you have other intentions."
The eyes of the lady in green were clear, as if she could see through people's hearts.
Taizhen was about to speak when her expression suddenly changed. She quickly lowered her head and sank into the Luoyun Pond, leaving only circles of ripples.
A paper crane flew over, and with a flash of fairy light, it turned into the appearance of Li Daoxuan.
He looked at the lady in green clothes beside the Luoyun Pond, his eyes softened, and he called softly: "Qing Ni, I——"
The lady in green suddenly opened her eyes, slightly opened her lips, and blew gently.
The green wind was so strong that it actually blew away the shadow of Li Daoxuan's soul. The paper crane seemed to have lost its soul, and it swayed and fell to the ground, turning into a piece of talisman paper.
The lady in green reached out to take it and looked at the words on it with her eyes slightly rippling.
Gurgle~
Taizhen poked her delicate head out of the pond. Her long hair was completely wet, staining her beautiful face. The cinnabar between her eyebrows looked even more red.
"Tsk tsk, Qing Ni..."
She swam forward, holding her cheeks at the edge of the pool, her beautiful figure looming in the water, and called out in a deliberately exaggerated tone: "Qingni, Qingni~"
Lady in green snorted coldly and flicked her finger. The water in the pool gathered and turned into a lotus, completely enveloping Taizhen.
But the voice still rang faintly in the lotus.
"Sister Qingni, why are you so angry?"
"Sister, what did you do wrong? Just tell me and I'll change. Isn't that okay?"
"Is it okay, Qingni~"
Crash!
Water lotus splashed, Taizhen flew out, her beautiful body appeared in a flash, and the snow-white skirt by the pool flew over automatically, wrapping up the infinitely beautiful scenery.
Without shoes or socks, his bare feet were as white as snow, and they lightly tapped on the clear pool water, creating ripples.
"Qing Ni——"
She was about to continue teasing, but she found that the shore was empty and no one had left.
…
Yinshan Mountains.
Li Daoxuan and his junior sister Taiwei sat cross-legged in the clouds, guarding the underground palace while waiting for the arrival of masters from various factions.
"Brother, apart from our Longhu Mountain, will the Yangshen Realm from other sects really come?"
Tai Wei was a little skeptical. Although she knew that her senior brother was now the Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty and was no longer the same as before, those powerful people who had cultivated to the Yang God Realm either liked to go into seclusion or hide away from the world, like a dragon that was hard to be seen.
Even if Senior Brother's paper crane can find them, they may not be willing to come.
People who can cultivate to the Yang Shen realm usually have their own pride. How could they be willing to obey the orders of a younger generation?
Li Daoxuan just smiled slightly in response to his junior sister's doubts.
"If we calculate the time, we should be able to tell whether he will come or not soon."
This time he shook many people, even some he had never met before. Li Daoxuan was not sure whether those people would come.
If they come, we are friends; if they don’t come, we are not enemies either. However, after this battle, it will not be so easy to be Li Daoxuan’s friend and gain the support of the Tang Dynasty.
"Here it comes, such a strong sword energy!"
Taiwei's sword eyes lit up , revealing a strong look as she looked towards the south.
Sword lights flew over and transformed into countless figures, some young, some young men, and some old, all wearing Taoist robes, carrying long swords, and looking majestic.
The leader was an old Taoist priest wearing a conical hat and carrying a sword case on his back. His hair and beard were all white, and his skin was dry and yellow, but his eyes were like snow shining on a cold river, and as bright as torches.
Before anyone arrived, hearty and heroic laughter suddenly rang out.
"Haha, Li kid, you invited all the Yang Gods in the world, why did you miss me? Do you look down on my sword, Xu Qingxuan? "
The voice of Wu Qiubai, the head of Wanshou Palace, who was following closely behind him, was clear and sonorous like a sword.
"There are 34 disciples in Wanshou Palace who are in the middle stage of fasting and above. All of them will follow the master to participate in the battle and obey the orders of the national master!"
Li Daoxuan was slightly stunned, looking at those pairs of eyes that were either excited or calm, and his heart was moved.
This time when he asked people to help, he deliberately avoided Xu Qingxuan, but he didn't expect that the other party would still find out. He then resolutely brought the disciples of Wanshou Palace to eliminate the demon.
"Senior Xu, why are you doing this?"
Li Daoxuan couldn't help but sigh.
Although he used a Luohan Mud Pill to bring Xu Qingxuan back to life, it only extended his life for a few decades. After that, Senior Xu fought in battles all over the country and killed people everywhere. He could not kill without saying a word of injustice, and countless demons were scared to death!
After years of bloody battles, his life span was severely shortened, and Li Daoxuan wanted him to enjoy his old age in peace.
As for Wanshou Palace, many disciples died, and all nine disciples of Senior Xu died in the battle, so he had to let his disciple Wu Qiubai take over.
When the dragon came out of the well and flooded the whole county, many disciples of Wanshou Palace sacrificed their lives, so that now there are only 34 Taoists who are above the middle stage of Qigong. Even so, they still bravely went to the national crisis.
Xu Qingxuan laughed and said, "Little Li, you know nothing. Stop talking nonsense. Do you have any wine? I want something high-class!"
Li Daoxuan took out a jar of fine wine, which was one of the three jars of fine wine that Li Shimin had given him. He said that if he got three jars of wine, the Li Tang dynasty would last for three hundred years.
Xu Qingxuan took a sip and his eyes suddenly brightened.
"Haha, good wine, you are really nice!"
"Come on, Chixia, have a drink too!"
Compared to five years ago, Yan Chixia has changed a lot. He no longer looks like a scholar in fine clothes. He has a beard and looks much more mature.
But he still doesn't like drinking.
"Haha, if you don't drink, why are you still playing with swords?"
Xu Qingxuan cursed, feeling very disappointed with him.
Yan Chixia just smiled and said nothing. His pair of perfect eyes looked at Li Daoxuan with a complicated look.
Six years have passed since the ten-year sword-fighting appointment, and only four years are left.
Although he had already cultivated to the realm of Yin God and was no longer the same as before, he was shocked to hear that Li Daoxuan killed Yang God with a single arrow and defeated thousands of troops, and even lifted the head of Locust God in Dengzhou, shocking the world with his roar!
The gap is getting bigger and bigger.
It gives me a headache just thinking about it...
"Haha, such good wine is such a waste if it is drunk by an old man like you. Come on, give me some to try!"
A hearty voice sounded, followed by the surge of Tiangang Qi, and a figure wearing a Tianshi purple robe and holding a long sword flew over, with a clear face and extraordinary bearing.
In an instant, the Evil-Slaying Sword in Li Daoxuan's sword box became excited and made bursts of sword sounds.
The sword in the Taoist's hand was also trembling, almost coming out of its sheath.
The treasures of Mount Longhu, the male and female Sanwu Zhanxie swords, have finally reunited after thousands of years. The female sword and the male sword echo each other from afar, and their precious light is like a rainbow.
Li Daoxuan and Tai Wei stood up at the same time and bowed.
"Disciple greets Master (Uncle)!"
"Good! Good ! Good!"
Zhang Qianyang was very excited to see his most proud disciple. He couldn't help but say "good" three times. He didn't even care about the movement of the Sanwu Zhanxie Male and Female Swords and hurried forward to help Li Daoxuan up.
“Master…”
When Li Daoxuan saw the slightly graying temples of his master, his heart ached and he realized for the first time the ruthlessness of time.
Before I knew it, my master was getting old.
Zhang Qianyang also looked at his favorite disciple carefully. In the past, the two of them traveled around the world, lived in humble rooms, slew demons, laughed and cursed, but they depended on each other.
The boy who was ignorant of the world has now become the leader of the new generation of Taoism and the imperial teacher of the Tang Dynasty, with great power in all countries of the world.
If he had not met Li Daoxuan, he would probably have died in a broken coffin long ago, never been able to return to Longhu Mountain, and would not have become the eighth generation Heavenly Master.
"Being a Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu is tiring enough, let alone being a National Master. Look at you, you are much thinner than before."
Zhang Qianyang patted his shoulder and said seriously: "If you are not happy in Chang'an, go back to Longhu Mountain. No matter when, Longhu Mountain is your home."
It is important for the apprentice to become successful, but it is more important for him to live happily.
After becoming the eighth generation Heavenly Master, Zhang Qianyang realized how troublesome this position was. There were too many things to consider. Putting himself in his shoes, wouldn't his disciple, as a teacher of a country, have to bear even more responsibilities?
"Master, don't worry. I'm fine."
Zhang Qianyang stroked his beard and smiled. Then he pulled Li Daoxuan and talked non-stop, talking about the old Taoist's snoring when he slept, his son Zhang Weiyang's admiration for Li Daoxuan, and the ordinary yet beautiful years in Longhu Mountain.
He even ignored his old friends whom he hadn't seen for many years and his nephew Taiwei.
Xu Qingxuan took a sip of wine and muttered, "Mother-in-law, this man with a child is really different, like a woman, ugh!"
Zhang Qianyang turned around calmly, with a fake smile.
"You old thing, you're just jealous that Ningyan and I have a child, haha!"
Xu Qingxuan was furious and asked, "Can you do another one?"
"hehe."
Xu Qingxuan was so angry that his beard started to puff up and he began to roll up his sleeves.
Zhang Qianyang also rolled up his purple robe, not caring about his image as a heavenly master. Seeing that a "war" was about to break out, suddenly, a streak of light flew over from a distance.
Another person from Yangshen realm came.
Zhang Qianyang quickly laid down his purple robe, and Xu Qingxuan also rolled up his sleeves and stood with his hands behind his back. Both of them looked aloof and cool, with the demeanor of a great master.
"Laoshan Baiyunzi, I come here in compliance with the order of the Tang Dynasty Imperial Master!"
The head of the Laoshan sect came in person .
Coincidentally, streams of light came one after another.
"The Grand Elder of Longmen Sect, Hermit Ziwei, has come here in compliance with the order of the Tang Dynasty Imperial Master!"
"Master Sanshan of Chunyang Palace has come here in compliance with the order of the Tang Dynasty Imperial Master!"
"The head of Louguan Dao, Yuan Tiangang, has come here in compliance with the order of the Tang Dynasty's Imperial Master!"
"Xuan Cheng and Ye Fashan of the Maoshan Sect..."
The Taoist Yang Gods who used to be elusive are now flying here one after another, even including the Maoshan Sect's Master Ye.
Not only that, the sound of Sanskrit was heard.
"Amitabha, Huichan of the White Horse Temple has brought all the abbots of the temple to help the Imperial Master!"
"Buddha has mercy on me. Shaolin Liaokong is carrying the eighteen bronze men and obeying the orders of the national master!"
Many great Buddhist masters also came to Yinshan, and some brought with them outstanding disciples, such as the Eighteen Bronze Men of Shaolin. Each of them was in the late Yin God, and they formed an Arhat formation and could fight against the Yang God!
In the end, even Zhizang, the contemporary master of Tibetan Tantric Buddhism, came. The image of Vajra King appeared behind him, and Buddha's light flowed around his body. He clasped his hands together in front of Li Daoxuan.
"Zhizang from the Vajra Temple has come here in compliance with the order of the Tang Dynasty Imperial Master."
For a moment, the sky above Yinshan Mountain was filled with thousands of rays of light and purple air rose into the sky, as if all the immortals had arrived and thousands of Buddhas were in the sky.
Tai Wei stared at the scene blankly, she had never expected that so many people would come, and her senior brother’s reputation... turned out to be so great.
Zhang Qianyang chuckled and said to Xu Qingxuan proudly, "Are you jealous, my apprentice?"
"Haha, looking at the look on your face, someone who didn't know would think you were his father."
Xu Qingxuan retorted sarcastically, seemingly with disdain, but he felt a little sour in his heart.
Blessings and infinite heavenly master, actually let this old fellow Zhang Qianyang pretend to be...
Most of the Yang Gods in the world are here, and both Buddhism and Taoism are under the command of one person!
Such a grand scene is probably unprecedented and will never be seen again.
