Chapter 597: Wu Zetian's Secret, I Rid Myself into the Mortal World on a Dragon
"Brother Immortal...what's wrong?"
Wu Ruyi's cheeks felt hot, and she didn't dare to look directly into those star-like eyes. She lowered her eyes and asked timidly.
Li Daoxuan gradually calmed down and said calmly: "Take off your shoes."
Wu Ruyi was stunned for a moment, her heart pounding again, but besides fear, there was also a hint of shame.
She had read in ancient books that some monsters would abduct beautiful mortal women as their wives or concubines. Could this man in white be the same?
She was smart and knew that she couldn't resist now. She should try her best to follow the other party's wishes and not to provoke him.
Biting her red lips, Wu Ruyi took off her black boots, revealing a pair of small feet wrapped in plain white socks.
"Socks too."
The voice of the man in white continued to sound, but it did not sound as impatient as a lustful man. Instead, it seemed more solemn.
Wu Ruyi could only take off her stockings , revealing a pair of white and delicate jade feet, which were delicate and translucent, and her skin was as pink and tender as cherry blossoms. It was a pity that she stepped on the ground and was soon covered with dust.
She lowered her head and looked as submissive as a lamb, but she secretly clenched the golden hairpin in her hand.
If the other party really wants to ruin her innocence, then this hairpin will be her only weapon!
Li Daoxuan blew gently, and the clouds in the sky condensed and turned into a white snow-gauze long skirt that hung down and was worn on her body.
Li Daoxuan stared at her, a ripple in his eyes.
It does look a bit similar!
But there is still one last thing missing.
Li Daoxuan pointed his finger, and a little cinnabar appeared between Wu Ruyi's eyebrows, making him look much more extraordinary.
"really……"
Li Daoxuan stared at her and said, "You and Senior Sister Taizhen are indeed a bit similar."
Wu Ruyi's eyebrows and eyes were actually three-quarters similar to Senior Sister Taizhen, but at the beginning she was wearing men's clothes and had a bun on her hair, and since they were only three-quarters similar, Li Daoxuan didn't notice it for a while.
Li Daoxuan didn't notice this until she let her hair down.
Maybe in the eyes of others, they are only three-quarters similar in appearance. But the world is so big, there may be people who are eighty or ninety percent similar. There is no need to make a fuss about it.
But Li Daoxuan knew that this was very unusual.
Because the senior sister is the reincarnation of the Queen Mother of the West, and Wu Ruyi has the most supreme and noble destiny, and is the only female emperor in Chinese history.
Both of them are extraordinary, so these three similarities are very intriguing.
"Wu Ruyi, answer my next question honestly. If you dare to lie, no matter what secrets you hide, I can keep you here forever."
There was a hint of murderous intent in Li Daoxuan's gentle voice. Although it was only a hint, it was like thunder in summer or an ice cave in winter, which made Wu Ruyi tremble.
It was an intuition that came from the unknown, as if as long as she dared to tell lies, she would fall into an endless disaster, and even God would not be able to help her.
"Xian, Xianren brother... please tell me, Ruyi would never dare to lie to me!"
Li Daoxuan nodded and said, "Just look at the lake."
Wu Ruyi looked up and found that what was reflected in the lake was not her face, but a female Taoist priest wearing white, with a lazy posture and beautiful eyebrows and eyes.
The most eye-catching thing is the cinnabar on her forehead, which has a unique charm.
"Wu Ruyi, have you seen this person? Do you know where she is?"
Li Daoxuan asked aloud, with a hint of anticipation in his heart.
After many years, he finally got clues about his senior sister again!
Ever since his senior sister left without saying goodbye, he has never given up looking for her. The Green Emperor in the dormant dragon has also been helping him collect various information. Unfortunately, even with the help of the power of the Tang Dynasty, there was no gain.
He estimated that his senior sister had already cultivated to the realm of human immortal. At her level, if she wanted to hide, it would be very difficult for others to find her.
Later, after he obtained the Xuan-Yuan Sword and communicated with the sword spirit, he realized that it was his senior sister who had been silently contributing behind the scenes.
Therefore, after the battle with Chiyou, he first went to the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor, and then traveled around the world trying to find his senior sister, but in the end he found nothing.
I didn't expect that when I seemed to have reached the end of my rope, there would be a new way out. Today I unexpectedly found a clue by accident!
Wu Ruyi looked at the absolutely beautiful sister in the water and was shocked by her appearance and temperament at first sight. She was proud of her beauty, but compared with this fairy-like woman, she was far inferior.
"Brother Immortal, this sister... I have never seen her before."
Wu Ruyi did not try to be clever to deceive Li Daoxuan, but answered honestly.
There was a hint of disappointment in Li Daoxuan's eyes. Could it be that he had guessed wrong? Was all this really just a coincidence?
At this moment, Wu Ruyi's voice sounded again.
"But... I don't know why, but when I see her... I always feel a sense of familiarity in my heart."
Li Daoxuan's eyes suddenly lit up. At this moment, he was certain that all this was not a coincidence. Wu Ruyi and Senior Sister Taizhen must have some unknown connection!
"Thank you very much. I will take you away now."
Li Daoxuan got the answer he wanted. He raised his finger, and a strand of Wu Ruyi's hair quietly fell and slipped into his sleeve. Then he was about to send her back.
"Wait a moment!"
Wu Ruyi suddenly shouted: "Brother Immortal, can you tell me your name?"
Li Daoxuan was stunned for a moment, then looking at those earnest eyes, he smiled and said: "Xiao Ruyi, didn't you say that your father, Wu Shigui, was a good friend of mine? Why don't you even know my name now?"
Wu Ruyi was stunned at first and didn't react for a moment. When she realized the truth, her pupils suddenly shocked and she stared at Li Daoxuan blankly.
"You are... Immortal Li!"
As the three words "Li Shenxian" came out of his mouth, the surrounding scene instantly shattered, cracking like a mirror and turning into thousands of dust points.
Wu Ruyi woke up suddenly and found that she had fallen asleep by the pond.
The water surface is calm and sparkling. In the lazy afternoon sunshine, a few lotus flowers sway gently in the center of the lake, looking so comfortable and peaceful.
She was still wearing her original clothes and had her hair tied in a bun, as if everything that had just happened was just a dream.
However, the golden hairpin in her hand and the red pill were telling her that it was not a dream. She had indeed seen the immortal from Mount Longhu, the imperial teacher of the Tang Dynasty - Li Daoxuan!
Even as a girl in the boudoir, she had heard many legends about Li Daoxuan since she was a child. This was a person who was almost becoming an immortal. Even to many people in the Tang Dynasty, he was a god!
He used his great supernatural powers to save the situation many times, and worked together with His Majesty to create a prosperous Tang Dynasty. Wu Ruyi admired this brilliant figure every time she read about him in books.
She finally understood why she felt familiar with the man in white. It turned out that he was Immortal Li, and she had seen his statue in the temple.
But I didn’t expect that he was ten or even a hundred times more handsome in person than the statue.
etc……
Wu Ruyi suddenly thought, if this was the case, wouldn’t she have missed the opportunity to become Li Shenxian’s apprentice?
Everyone in the world knows that Immortal Li has only ever accepted one disciple, and that is the current Princess Changle.
She was almost able to become the princess’s junior sister?
When Wu Ruyi thought of this, she felt mixed emotions. She sat there staring at the golden hairpin for a long time in a daze, until she heard her mother coughing in the room.
…
White Crane Lake.
The ripples were slight and then gradually returned to calm.
Li Daoxuan slowly opened his eyes and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Originally, I was just curious and wanted to see what the future empress Wu Zetian would look like and try to see if I could change history, but I didn't expect to get an unexpected surprise.
His mood suddenly improved a lot.
His attitude towards Wu Zetian was not hatred, but the open-mindedness of a bystander.
He did say that he would preserve the Tang Dynasty's foundation for three hundred years, but the Wu Zhou Dynasty did not make the people live in misery. Instead, it laid a solid foundation for the Kaiyuan Prosperity.
Even because of his policy of resting the people, the quality of life of the people of the Tang Dynasty was further improved.
Wu Zetian was Li Shimin's concubine, Li Zhi's empress, and the grandmother of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Li Longji. Isn't all this fighting just the Li family's business?
As long as they don't harm the people of the Tang Dynasty, Li Daoxuan, an outsider, is too lazy to meddle in the trivial matters within the Li Tang royal family.
After three years of keeping vigil in Longhu Mountain, he became more open-minded.
Those who practice Taoism should defend their country, but should not work for the imperial power , and certainly not lose the true meaning of being free and easy in the world. Otherwise, while practicing, they will find themselves trapped in the cage of the secular world. Isn't that going astray?
That's why he didn't kill or imprison Wu Zetian directly, as that was not in line with his Taoism.
His favorite path is to sit back and watch the Tang Dynasty for three hundred years, seeing rivers and seas turn upside down, clouds and fog rising and falling, seeing troubled times emerge and prosperous times hide.
Li Daoxuan made Wu Zetian swear that she would never enter the Tang Palace for the rest of her life, out of consideration for Li Shimin's face.
Stand up and finish the club.
The fish basket flew up automatically and turned into a purple gourd hanging around Li Daoxuan's waist.
He touched the Three Realms Gourd and a smile appeared on his face.
roar!
The white dragon fell from the clouds, and with a shake of its body, it threw little Wei Yang, who was holding its tail, into the water. Then it lowered its proud head and crawled at Li Daoxuan's feet.
Little Wei Yang fell into the lake with a splash.
"Big Brother, you don't fish anymore?"
Little Wei Yang stepped on the water and shouted loudly, his voice full of doubt. According to previous habits, the eldest brother would usually put away the rod when the sun was about to set.
Li Daoxuan smiled slightly, took a step, and stepped on the dragon head of the white dragon.
It was also at this time that the mourning clothes on his body turned green inch by inch, emitting a bright glow, like stepping on a green lotus.
"I've been fishing for so long, I'm so quiet that I want to move. Calculating the time, the period of vigil is over, I should go out for a walk."
He slowly sat on the dragon's head, his black hair cascading like a waterfall, his green lotus robe fluttering slowly in the wind, revealing his otherworldly aura.
"Big Brother, can you take me out to play?"
Little Wei Yang's eyes were full of envy, and he shouted loudly, while swimming hard to grab the white dragon's tail.
However, the next moment, a dragon roared, and a white dragon soared into the sky. A hazy glow emanated from the dragon's coral-like horns, and the wind and clouds between heaven and earth surged.
Boom!
The rain fell, creating ripples on Baihe Lake.
Little Wei Yang looked up, staring blankly at the scene. His eldest brother was flying into the sky on a dragon. The water vapor in the sky seemed to have turned into the dragon's wings, carrying it up into the sky, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Little Wei Yang, remember to recite the Taoist scriptures well. We will test you when Senior Brother comes back."
