Chapter 641: Bai Suzhen at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain
Wei Ruhai looked at the figure in white and his pupils froze.
It's him!
It turned out to be the person who was just kidnapped by the snake demon!
The green snake was also stunned and temporarily forgot to struggle. The man who liked to eat peanuts with wine and looked very weak, was actually... so powerful?
If the news got out that a peanut could break the specially made Tiger-killing Golden Knife of the Imperial Observatory, no one would even believe it.
She was in the early stage of Yin Shen and had no power to fight back in front of Wei Ruhai. It can be seen how powerful this bad guy captain is. However, even such a master could not even block a peanut.
That man... could he be the same Yang God as my sister?
In an instant, the young man in brocade clothes who originally looked greasy and powdered became unfathomable.
Su Huiyu showed a hint of doubt, not knowing if it was an illusion, she always felt that the man in white was somewhat familiar, but she couldn't figure out what it was.
"Your Excellency has good tactics, but what is your relationship with this snake demon? Why are you standing up for her?"
Wei Ruhai looked at the broken knife in his hand, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes, and he asked angrily.
Li Daoxuan raised the wine glass in his hand and said calmly: "I don't know her, but she invited me to have a drink."
"Just for this?"
Wei Ruhai found it a little unbelievable.
"Of course, there is another reason."
Li Daoxuan pointed at him and said, "You are too ugly."
Wei Ruhai became furious and his voice became cold.
"I would like to give you a piece of advice. Although you are in the Yang God Realm, there are many people in the Yang God Realm who have died in the Tang Dynasty. If you obstruct the bad guys from solving the case, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Holy Buddha investigate, can you bear the consequences?"
Li Daoxuan smiled slightly and said, "If you don't try, how do you know if you can bear the responsibility?"
Wei Ruhai sneered in his heart, he really didn't know how to live or die.
"Your Excellency is very capable. I am not as good as you, but my Tang Dynasty has its own masters. Farewell!"
He flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.
However, a voice sounded slowly.
"Did I let you go?"
Wei Ruhai's body stiffened, and a chill surged in his heart. Could it be that this man really dared to attack an official of the imperial court and didn't care about his identity as a captain of the bad guys?
It is no wonder that he is so arrogant. Over the years, as the Tang Dynasty has become more and more powerful, the status of the Bad People has also risen. Coupled with the supply of various magic weapons and elixirs, their strength has also increased by leaps and bounds.
Although he is only in the Yin God realm, he travels around the world, catching ghosts and monsters, and even the Yang God Zhenren in Taoism have to give him some face.
After the Holy Buddha took charge of the Bad People, their arrogance expanded to the extreme.
"Sir, I am——"
Li Daoxuan didn't want to listen to his nonsense anymore. He threw the wine glass in his hand casually. It spun into the air, getting bigger and bigger, and finally turned into a big bell, which covered Wei Ruhai with a bang.
The ground shook, cracks spread, and screams were faintly heard from the bell, but soon there was no movement.
Su Huiyu's face changed. Although she did not like Wei Ruhai's behavior, he was her superior after all, and she could not just stand by and watch him die.
"Sorry, I'm sorry!"
She stretched out her hand and three golden needles flew out of the snake demon's body and shot towards Li Daoxuan.
This magic weapon is called the Demon-Sealing Needle and it has a great origin. It was a precious treasure given to her by her master before his death. It is said that it was also related to the Tang Dynasty's imperial master who was once famous all over the world and mysteriously disappeared.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The golden needle broke through the air and shuttled like lightning. In addition to the Taoist spell of immobilization mentioned above, there was also a ray of pure and vast Buddhist light, faintly accompanied by Sanskrit sounds.
This small magic weapon actually has the meaning of integrating the strengths of Buddhism and Taoism.
Buzz!
The three golden needles stopped in front of Li Daoxuan's eyes, shaking as if they had sensed something. They shivered and conveyed a feeling of fear to Su Huiyu.
Her heart was shocked and she looked at the scene in disbelief.
The Demon-Sealing Needle that her master taught her...she is actually afraid of it?
Since she got the Demon-Sealing Needle, she has almost never failed. No matter whether it is a demon or a Buddhist or Taoist monk, once hit by this needle, they will lose all their magic power and surrender.
But this time, she failed.
Li Daoxuan stretched out his hand, and the three golden needles actually betrayed their master and floated on his palm. They looked so cautious, without any trace of their previous arrogance.
Su Huiyu's face was pale. She kept urging the golden needle, but the magic weapon that she used to control at her will now had no reaction at all and just kept flattering others.
Li Daoxuan stared at the three golden needles, with a look of reminiscence in his eyes. After a long moment, he sighed softly.
"Is your master the wise monk from the White Horse Temple?"
Su Huiyu's heart trembled. Could this person be an old acquaintance of her master?
She did not dare to neglect him and said respectfully, "Master Huichan, he is indeed my master. Do you know my master?"
Li Daoxuan stroked the three golden needles and said, "We are old acquaintances."
At that time, Huichan was bewitched by Mara and took him as Maitreya Buddha. He wanted to have him born in the White Horse Temple, but was discovered by Li Daoxuan.
He defeated Huichan in the White Horse Temple, but the opponent's golden body was able to heal itself continuously. In order to punish him, Li Daoxuan used the Samadhi True Fire to refine the fragments of the White Horse Temple's treasure, the Demon-Suppressing Tower, into three golden needles, and engraved the Longhu Mountain's immobilization spell on them.
After the golden needle pierced into Huichan's body, it immediately sealed his golden body, turning him into a useless person.
However, for some unknown reason, Huichan suddenly became enlightened and forced the golden needle out of his body. He fought a desperate battle with Mara at the critical moment, protected the people of Luoyang, and held on until Li Daoxuan and the old Taoist priest arrived.
Later, he passed on his skills to Xuanzang. If Li Daoxuan had not extended his life, he would probably have passed away at that time.
During the battle with Chiyou, Huichan led everyone from the White Horse Temple to provide support, and resolutely resisted the temptation to ascend to Lingshan Mountain. His concentration was far greater than that of the Shaolin abbot.
Li Daoxuan had complicated feelings towards this old friend; they could be said to have known each other through fighting.
"I didn't expect that he would accept a female disciple. Huichan, how is she now?"
Su Huiyu's eyes darkened and her voice became low.
"Master... passed away three years ago."
Li Daoxuan was stunned.
"In his later years, the master devoted himself to reforming Buddhism. He hoped that Buddhist disciples would engage in production, be frugal, help the people, and defend the country. For this reason, he kept running around and calling for action, but was always turned away."
"Finally, the master was disheartened and returned to Luoyang. He looked at the people in the city and passed away with a smile on his face on the bank of the Luo River. He once said that he followed the master to Luoyang from this river when he was young, and now he would also return from this river."
Su Huiyu's eyes were red and her voice was choked with sobs.
She was originally a helpless little blind girl who lived in an abandoned temple. It was the master who cured her eye disease, adopted her, and taught her all his skills.
In her mind, Huichan has long been her closest relative.
After her master passed away, she decided to join the Bad People and continue to protect the people like her master did when he was alive.
Li Daoxuan was silent for a moment. In a trance, he seemed to see a one-armed old monk in a simple monk's robe standing barefoot in front of the Buddhist temple. The red door was closed, and he stood there for several nights.
Finally, he returned to the place he had guarded all his life. Looking at the fireworks and worldly life in the city, he closed his eyes with a smile.
He grew up in Luoyang, prospered in Luoyang, gained enlightenment in Luoyang, and died in Luoyang.
Another old friend has passed away.
Li Daoxuan suddenly felt a little desolate. He didn't have a close relationship with Huichan, but he had some respect for him. Only a person like him was worthy of the words "Buddha's compassion".
Empress Changsun, Senior Sister, Master Sanle, Huichan...
The people I once knew have all passed away. I can only recall them in this life and may not meet them in the next life. Perhaps this is the price of immortality?
"senior……"
Su Huiyu hesitated to speak.
Li Daoxuan glanced at her and waved his long sleeves. The three golden needles returned to her hands again. In addition, the teacup that turned into a big clock also flew back.
Wei Ruhai had turned into a bloody man on the ground and fell into a coma.
He was hit by the sound waves under the big bell, his eardrums ruptured, his meridians were severed, and all his cultivation was wasted. He became a useless person from then on.
"For Huichan's sake, I'll let you go. Go now before I regret it."
Su Huiyu showed a look of gratitude, clasped her fists in salute, carried Wei Ruhai on her back and prepared to leave, but after taking a few steps she could not help but stop.
"Senior, who are you? What is your relationship with my master?"
Li Daoxuan said calmly: "He is just an unknown person. The past is like smoke, gone with the wind. Why mention it again?"
Su Huiyu looked at him deeply, then turned and left.
After she left, Li Daoxuan walked to the snake demon lying motionless on the ground, smiled slightly, and muttered to himself.
"Dead? That would be perfect for making snake meat soup. I'm really a little hungry..."
The next moment, the snake demon that was pretending to be dead flew up with a whoosh, as agile as a dragon, and disappeared into the sea of clouds.
"Humph, you still want to eat me? You are not good people. Eat my fart, Lulu!"
Her voice was sweet and full of energy, and she didn't look seriously injured.
Li Daoxuan smiled but said nothing.
…
The green snake used the escape technique that her sister taught her, moving back and forth in the sea of clouds. After running for a long time, she thought that the scary man in white should have been thrown off, so she returned to the ground and turned into a green girl again.
But the next moment she was struck by lightning.
By the lake in front, a handsome young man in white was standing under a peach tree with his hands behind his back, looking at her leisurely with a smile on his face.
"Miss Qing, what a coincidence, we meet again."
Miss Qing felt cold all over. She turned around and tried to escape, but for some reason she couldn't move.
"You, what kind of magic did you use?"
Li Daoxuan shook his head and laughed, "You are obviously the demon, how can you say that I am using demonic magic?"
"Don't pretend. You are so powerful, but you deliberately approached me and acted out a painful drama with those bad guys. Aren't you just trying to get my sister's whereabouts from me?"
She sneered and said, "I've said it before, my sister doesn't have the inheritance of Li Daoxuan, but it's a pity that you guys are all blinded by greed and don't believe it!"
The more she spoke, the angrier she became. She angrily said, "My sister was infatuated with Li Daoxuan, but he just ran away without saying anything. After all these years, there is nothing left, let alone any inheritance!"
Li Daoxuan was stunned, and then he realized that the little green snake thought he was in the same group as those bad guys. He didn't expect it to be so wary .
"It's definitely my fault."
He looked at Miss and asked, "What's your sister's name?"
"Hmph, even if you kill me, I will never tell—"
"Bai Suzhen... I didn't expect this to be her name."
There were waves in Li Daoxuan's eyes.
Miss Qing was shocked and thought to herself, I clearly didn't say it, how did he know?
"Where is your sister now?"
She kept her mouth shut and didn't say a word this time.
"It turns out to be at the foot of Yunlong Mountain outside Xuzhou. Thank you for telling me."
Miss Qing's eyes widened, almost petrified.
Li Daoxuan smiled slightly and did not explain.
Buddhism’s telepathy!
After discussing Buddhism with Lu Biansheng, he also had some understanding of the six supernatural powers of Buddhism. With his level of practice, he has a bird's-eye view and is able to understand everything. Although he cannot say that he has mastered it completely, he can still display some of the mysterious power of telepathy.
At least it’s not difficult to understand the thoughts of a little green snake.
"Let's go and meet that...Bai Suzhen."
Auspicious clouds appeared under Li Daoxuan's feet, and he flew towards Yunlong Mountain with the immobile Qing Girl.
