Chapter 651: Surrender or Die
"It's Li Daoxuan, it's really him!"
"He really came. Haha. This time it's good!"
"I don't know how the Holy Buddha is doing now. He must not look well."
"I think even if it's Li Guoshi, he may not be able to suppress the entire Chang'an by himself..."
Amid the discussions of the crowd, the carriage continued to move forward.
At this time, the sound of swords rang out, and dozens of Wanshou Palace disciples stood on the green hills, unsheathed their swords, and flicked them with their hands. The soaring sword energy broke through the sky, cheering for the national teacher.
Longhu Mountain was even more ruthless. Following Zhang Qianyang's order, they directly summoned the three treasures of the ancestors.
"Taichong, if you need anything, just speak up!"
Zhang Qianyang set up an altar, on which were placed the three treasures of dragon and tiger, the male and female swords of Sanwuzhuxie, the Yangpingzhidu Gong Seal and the twenty-four-grade Zhengyi Mengwei talismans.
The meaning is very clear. Even if it means emptying the assets of Longhu Mountain, he must help his disciples.
This time, he was gambled on the future of Longhu Mountain.
After hearing the master's words, the carriage finally stopped, the curtain opened, and Li Daoxuan walked out slowly. He changed into a simple green Taoist robe, but it still couldn't hide his otherworldly aura.
People below the Yangshen realm looked at him and felt that he was simple and natural, lively and agile, without any extraordinary qualities.
But for the cultivators in the Yangshen Realm, after activating their Dharma Eyes, they could see the brilliant immortal light blooming outside Li Daoxuan's body, as bright as the moon and as pure as colored glaze.
Some white-haired old monks were so excited that they burst into tears.
"Immortal, it's really an immortal!"
After so many years, someone in the Taoist sect finally transcends the calamity and becomes an immortal!
"Taichong greets the Master!"
Li Daoxuan looked in the direction of his master and bowed.
No matter what realm he reaches in his cultivation, his master will always be his master. This master-disciple relationship is his most precious treasure since he came to this world.
"Good! Good! Good!"
Zhang Qianyang was so excited that he said "OK" three times.
After twelve years, master and disciple finally meet again. They seem to have a thousand words to say, but don't know where to start.
"Greetings, Senior Brother!"
All the inner sect and true disciples of Mount Longhu bowed to the man in green at this moment, their voices filled with excitement and admiration.
Zhang Weiyang waved his hands and shouted, "Big Brother, you will definitely win!"
Although he was only taught by his senior brother for three years when he was young, he still has a deep memory of him, and the admiration in his bones cannot be erased.
Now, looking at his senior brother whose appearance had not changed and whose demeanor and grace were even better than before, he was filled with envy and yearning.
Li Daoxuan nodded and smiled at them.
However, at this moment, a Buddhist chant rang out from Chang'an, like a huge bell, echoing in all directions, showing his profound cultivation.
"Amitabha, Master Li, I will be waiting for you at Daxingshan Temple."
"I hope you can successfully walk to me."
The voice was gentle and calm, but the arrogance in it made everyone's face change.
The national teacher Li Daoxuan came to Chang'an in person, but the Holy Buddha did not intend to show up. Instead, as if to test him, he let the other party come to him first.
The implication is that they do not take Li Daoxuan, the once invincible strong man, seriously. They feel like a superior senior who is guiding and testing the younger generation.
Xiaoqing was very angry. The experiences of the past few days had made her deeply admire this master. She felt humiliated when she heard others look down on the master.
Bai Suzhen snorted coldly, and her beautiful eyes showed coldness.
As long as she waits for the master's order, she will be able to live in peace!
"Taichong, do what you should do."
Zhang Qianyang was obviously also angered by Erpo Shamei's attitude and nodded to Li Daoxuan.
"Yes, Master."
Li Daoxuan, the person involved, was not angry at all. Instead, he was quite free and easy. He returned to the carriage with a calm and peaceful voice.
"Xiaobai, enter Chang'an."
There is no point in arguing with words; in the end, the real outcome will come in the form of physical combat.
"Yes, sir!"
The carriage continued to move forward and finally arrived at the city of Chang'an.
The city gates were closed, heavy crossbows were set up on the city walls and aimed at the carriage, and the soldiers raised their Tianleizi, a powerful gunpowder developed by the Imperial Observatory.
There was a hint of struggle in their eyes.
The person sitting in the carriage was Li Daoxuan, the imperial teacher of the Tang Dynasty!
When the Tang army was fighting against the Turks, it was Master Li who led the charge and killed the evil gods. He saved countless lives of the Tang army and left behind many legends.
How can we be enemies with the imperial teacher?
"Let go, I told you to let go!"
The garrison commander shouted loudly, but the soldiers remained silent.
"You are disobeying military orders. Are you planning to rebel?"
The defending general drew his sword, wanting to kill someone to establish his authority.
However, an arrow flew at him as fast as a meteor and instantly pierced through his forehead, causing blood to splatter. Even the helmet forged with fine iron could not block it.
Xue Rengui came in covered in dust, wearing silver armor and a golden bow, looking handsome and heroic, with a white cloak fluttering in the wind.
After not seeing him for twelve years, he had become a veritable famous general of the Tang Dynasty. Whether he was fighting against the Turks, marching west to conquer Tuyuhun, or following Li Shimin to conquer Liaodong, his performance was extremely outstanding.
Especially on the battlefield of Andi in Liaodong, General Liu Junqiong was besieged by the Goryeo army and could not escape. At this critical moment, Xue Rengui single-handedly fought into the army, killed the general and seized the flag, turning the tide.
It’s like Zhao Zilong who went in and out of Cao’s army seven times during the Three Kingdoms period.
From then on, the three names Xue Rengui became well-known in the army.
Although he had not yet reached his peak when he conquered Tianshan with three arrows, he was already a famous general of the Tang Dynasty.
"By order of His Majesty, the swords of the Tang Dynasty are not to be aimed at the Imperial Master. Everyone, lay down your weapons and open the city gates!"
Under Xue Rengui's order, the gate of Chang'an City, which had been closed for three days, was slowly opened to welcome the carriage in.
A great war was averted invisibly.
Xue Rengui had no time to take off his armor, so he walked down the city gate and saluted.
"Welcome to the Imperial Master!"
All the soldiers saluted as well, and the sound of armor clashing together, like the sound of metal and stone, echoed in the city of Chang'an.
"Welcome the Imperial Master!!"
The prestige that Li Daoxuan had accumulated over the past decade suddenly exploded at this moment. Without saying a word or fighting, he opened the gate of Chang'an.
"The evil monk is unrighteous and causing chaos in the government. Please, Imperial Master, take action to clear the court and slay the evil!"
Xue Rengui's voice was sonorous and powerful.
A voice slowly sounded in the carriage.
"Brother Xue, I will definitely live up to your trust."
Xue Rengui's body trembled, and although he was a strong man, his eyes became moist.
The national master is still the national master, he has not forgotten himself.
Bai Suzhen nodded to him, then pulled the reins and drove the carriage towards Daxingshan Temple.
Xue Rengui kept standing there and looking until he could no longer see the object. He was still standing there, unwilling to leave.
…
The prosperous Chang'an seems particularly deserted today.
Especially when you arrive at Zhuque Street, it is more magnificent than it was twelve years ago. It is nearly 40 zhang wide, which is equivalent to 150 meters. It can accommodate 40 carriages passing side by side, so it is also called "Tianmen Street".
Halfway through the journey, the horse suddenly stopped and made uneasy sounds.
Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen drew their swords at the same time.
The next moment, ten figures flew out from the ground, all dressed in black, with a sinister aura, and their eyes were a strange blood red, as if they were possessed by demons.
They were evil monks conquered by the Holy Buddha. Each of them was covered in blood. They were forced to travel to a foreign country during the era of Li Daoxuan.
Buddhism teaches that one can become a Buddha instantly by laying down the butcher knife.
No matter how many people you have killed or how many bad things you have done, as long as you say "lay down the butcher knife", you will not only not have to bear any responsibility, but you can also become a Buddha in one step.
Therefore, since the Holy Buddha Naervasami took charge of the Bad People, many evil people came forward to "lay down their butcher knives". Not only did they not have to be hunted down, but they were transformed into the Bad People of the Tang Dynasty.
"Strange, these people clearly know the master's reputation, why do they dare to come and die?"
Bai Suzhen was a little puzzled, but she and Xiaoqing chose to take action immediately.
These small fry are not worthy of my action.
As the two swords rang, a sword emitting white light and a sword emitting green light flew out, echoing each other, forming a sword formation and turning into criss-crossing green and white sword beams.
Along the way, in addition to practicing, Li Daoxuan also helped them to refine the swords again.
It was just a casual move for him, but it greatly increased the power of the two swords.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
As the sword beams continued to flash, the corpses of the evil cultivators fell from the sky. Ten heads rolled down, with their eyes open in death.
"It turns out that his mind was manipulated. No wonder he dared to come and die."
Bai Suzhen snorted coldly and retracted her sword. She had already seen through the clues.
These people are death warriors. The evil monk sent them to test the master's ability.
She picked up the reins and was about to continue driving the horse, but the horse suddenly neighed and seemed very panicked. Its limbs were shaking violently, and it finally whimpered and foamed at the mouth. It was frightened to death!
A figure appeared on the long street.
The moment she saw that figure, even Bai Suzhen, who had already cultivated to the Yang God realm and possessed the blood of a true dragon, felt a chill in her heart and was inexplicably frightened.
Xiaoqing's performance was even worse. She was trembling as if she was facing a natural enemy.
It was a kind of pressure hidden in the blood.
"Li Daoxuan, if you want to see the Holy Buddha, you must first pass this test of mine!"
His golden hair danced wildly, and his burly body looked like a giant, full of explosive power, especially his golden eyes, which seemed to contain endless energy and made it difficult to look directly at him.
The chief of the four Dharma Kings, the Vajra Dharma King!
"Just you?"
Bai Suzhen took the lead and her sword, Bai Yi, was as powerful as a startled wild goose, carrying with it the force of surging water, as it stabbed towards the Vajra Dharma King.
Faced with this fierce attack, King Vajra actually reached out and grabbed the Bai Yi sword.
clang!!
Sparks flickered and Bai Yi's sword trembled continuously, but it was difficult to break free.
Bai Suzhen instantly revealed her true form, transformed into a white dragon about a hundred feet long, and grabbed towards Vajra King.
Looking at the white dragon, light flashed in King Vajra's eyes and thunder rumbled in his stomach.
I was actually hungry.
"Haha, you're just in time, just in time to give me a snack!"
After saying that, he flew into the air and revealed his true form.
Its horns are like those of a deer, its hair is like that of a lion, its head is like that of a dragon, its neck is like that of a snake, its scales are like those of a carp, and its claws are like those of a tiger. It looks like the legendary sacred beast Qilin, but is more domineering and ferocious than Qilin.
The ancient ferocious beast - the golden-haired leopard!
The 犼 is a ferocious beast with a violent temper. It likes to eat camphor. Legend has it that one 犼 can fight three dragons and two flooded snakes. The golden-haired 犼 is the overlord among the 犼s. It was transformed from the Jin Guangxian of the Jiejiao sect and later became the mount of the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara.
This is also the greatest confidence of King Vajra. Although he is also an evil god, his bloodline is extremely powerful and his combat power is comparable to that of a human immortal.
roar!
The golden-haired lion and the white dragon rose into the sky and fought in the sea of clouds. For a moment, the wind and clouds were turbulent, lightning and thunder flashed, and the whole city of Chang'an became dim.
After a while, the white dragon was defeated and flew back from the air, turning into Bai Suzhen again.
The golden-haired beast stepped into the air with all four hooves, chasing after him with such a fierce momentum that even the wind and clouds changed color.
Bai Suzhen was not panicked at all.
She had just volunteered to fight with the other party to hone herself. After all, she was poisoned after she became a Yang God and had not fought much.
"Master, Xiaobai has embarrassed you."
"No problem."
The sound in the carriage was gentle and calm, and then the curtains seemed to be blown by the breeze and fluttered gently.
The next moment, the arrogant golden-haired beast suddenly let out a scream and fell directly from the air to the ground, shaking the earth.
I saw that a Taoist in green clothes appeared on its back, sitting cross-legged with flying black hair. There seemed to be nebulae flowing in his eyes, which were black and clear.
The golden-haired beast roared repeatedly, its blood and energy exploding like thunder, but it still couldn't stop its knees from bending.
With a loud bang, the ground cracked.
The golden-haired beast knelt on the ground on all fours, as if carrying a thousand mountains. Its dragon-like muscles cracked and golden blood oozed from its scales.
"You scared my horse to death. In that case, I will punish you by making you my mount and carrying me to kill that evil monk."
The golden-haired lion still refused to admit defeat and kept roaring.
"Holy Buddha, save me!!!"
Li Daoxuan smiled slightly, activated the Eight-Nine Profound Art, suppressed it tightly, and glanced in the direction of Daxingshan Temple.
"He must have prepared a great gift for me in the temple. How could he leave the temple just to save you?"
"Golden Haired Hound, have you ever thought that... you are the real assassin?"
The golden-haired beast's eyes were wide open with anger, and it wanted to refute, but it remembered what the Holy Buddha had said, which was to let it test Li Daoxuan's strength first, and if he was defeated he would immediately come to the rescue.
However, up to now, the Holy Buddha has not taken any action.
A rage of betrayal burned in its heart.
boom!
The Eight-Nine Mysterious Art exerted its force once again, crushing the golden-haired beast and causing it to scream miserably. Its iron body made sounds as if it could not bear the heavy weight, as if it would collapse at the next moment.
"Submit, or die."
