Chapter 66 Kun Dao Tai Zhen
A woman's figure appeared in the ancient bronze mirror.
She was wearing a loose moon-white Taoist robe with the collar unfastened, revealing her skin as white as jade.
There was a dot of cinnabar on her brow, and her long black hair flowed down like a waterfall. She looked lazy, leaning lightly among the flowers, looking at the Lady in Green with a half-smile.
Perhaps she was slightly inferior to Lady Qingyi in terms of stunning looks, but she had a natural and extraordinary temperament, like clear springs, bright moon, flowers, birds and chirping insects, which made people relax as if bathed in the spring breeze at the first sight of her.
Anyone who sees her cannot help but sigh, what a stunningly beautiful female Taoist.
"Taizhen, only you dare to be so presumptuous in front of me."
The moment she saw the female Taoist priest, the lady in green, who had been sitting upright, relaxed and showed a friendly smile.
The Taoist priest named Taizhen took off her shoes and socks in front of the Qingyi Lady, revealing her feet that were as white as snow. She stretched lazily and said with a smile, "Lady, you are just living too constrained."
She said with emotion: "My heart is as free as white clouds, and my mind is as free as flowing water. This is the state of mind that people of my generation should pursue. Although the queen has great magical powers, in my eyes, isn't she just a canary in a prison?"
If other people heard these words, they would probably be shocked.
Not only did he show no courtesy in front of Lady Green, he even dared to say that Lady Green was the canary trapped in Yuzhang City. Such bold remarks were truly earth-shattering.
However, the Qingyi Lady was not angry at all. Instead, she smiled and said, "You look a bit like Li Daoxuan. If I didn't know you were his senior sister, I would have thought you were his sister."
Hearing the name Li Daoxuan, the female Taoist's eyes lit up and she asked hurriedly, "Tell me about my junior brother. Is he handsome? How did he perform today?"
The lady in green pointed with her jade finger, and a ray of light emerged in the void, forming the appearance of Li Daoxuan, who was wearing a green Taoist robe, with a Taoist bun, handsome eyebrows and eyes, and outstanding .
The female Taoist priest looked delighted and her eyes sparkled.
"I didn't expect that old master would accept such a handsome and lovely junior brother. Not bad, I am very satisfied."
The Qingyi Lady teased, "You are not choosing a husband, why do you care so much about appearance? Your junior brother has a similar personality to you, but his thinking is more unrestrained. He stole the limelight at the banquet today, and now he is a human being in my Qingming Realm."
The female Taoist priest was startled and said, "My Lady, although I ask you to take care of him, you don't have to take it so seriously. The post of Qingming Envoy is of great importance. What if he——"
The lady in green shook her head, interrupted her and said with a smile: "He is far more outstanding than you think. Today, he drank nine cups of wine in a row with the cultivation level of the initial stage of fasting, and then solved the problem ingeniously, and finally made a bet with me."
"Bet you?"
The female Taoist shook her head and smiled: "Then he must have lost."
The lady in green said calmly: "I lost."
The female Taoist priest's eyes were startled, and she immediately showed a look of great interest, and said, "Tell me about it quickly!"
…
Early in the morning, the young monk Xuanzang yawned, washed up as usual, and prepared to go to the kitchen to make breakfast for his master.
When he looked up, he saw Li Daoxuan sitting on the eaves, holding the Taoist seal with his hands, five hearts facing the sky, and inhaling and exhaling the purple air of the morning sun between heaven and earth.
Looking from afar, her body was glowing, like clouds and jade, and she really looked like a fairy.
There was a hint of envy in Xuanzang's eyes.
He also wanted to practice cultivation, but although his master said he had a natural talent for cultivation, he was unwilling to teach him, saying that the time was not right yet. He only asked him to concentrate on reading and reciting Buddhist scriptures and observing the world.
He also wanted to practice Buddhist magic so that he could slay demons and protect the people.
"Huh ?"
Suddenly, Xuanzang let out a light exclamation and looked at Li Daoxuan with a very strange look.
At this time, Li Daoxuan also finished his training. He opened his eyes, floated down, and said with a smile: "Xuanzang, what's wrong?"
Xuanzang scratched his bald head and said, "Could it be that I saw it wrong yesterday? Although there is still a calamity on your head, Taoist Li, it has faded a lot, and even has a faint five-colored spiritual light..."
Five-colored aura?
Li Daoxuan was stunned for a moment, then he remembered the Great Five Elements Escape Technique that the Green-Robed Lady taught him. Although he had not yet successfully practiced it, the true meaning of this magical power had been engraved in his heart, and it was only a matter of time before he understood it.
What Xuanzang saw should be the true meaning of the Great Five Elements Escape Technique.
What a pair of naturally discerning eyes! They are almost comparable to Monkey King’s Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils. This also made Li Daoxuan wonder, how could Xuanzang, who is naturally discerning, be deceived by the White Bone Demon?
"Master Li?"
Xuanzang said with some concern: "Tell me, could it be that there is something wrong with my eyes?"
Li Daoxuan smiled and said, "Last night I attended the banquet of the Qingyi Lady and became the Qingming Envoy. I gained a magical power. What you saw might be it."
Xuanzang then breathed a sigh of relief and gave a sincere smile .
He was genuinely happy for Li Daoxuan, but of course he was also a little envious.
At this time, Master Sanle walked out of the room yawning, his clothes in disarray, revealing his round belly.
"Zhang Qianyang has a good disciple. At such a young age, he has been favored by the Empress and became a Qingming Envoy. Wow, it's really enviable!"
As he said this, he knocked Xuanzang's head hard.
"Look at others, then look at you!"
Xuanzang said aggrievedly: "Master, it is obviously you who don't want to teach me how to practice. It's not the time you said it would be!"
Master Sanle patted his stomach and laughed awkwardly: "Haha, so that's how it is. I just woke up and I'm a little confused. Please don't blame me, disciple!"
Xuanzang hung his little head and walked towards the kitchen with a wronged look on his face.
Li Daoxuan thought about it, took off the Yuchang sword from his waist, and called Xuanzang.
"Xuanzang, I will be leaving here soon. After today's farewell, I don't know if we will have the chance to meet again in the future. I will give you this Yuchang sword for self-defense."
Li Daoxuan's gift of the sword to Xuanzang was naturally not an impulsive act, but was the result of careful consideration.
First, he already had a better sword, the low-grade magic sword Chixia that he had snatched from the Taoist priest of Wanshou Palace. What? Do you think the people of Wanshou Palace will cause trouble?
Haha, my master Zhang Qianyang, take another look at this phoenix jade pendant, which was given to me by Lady Qingyi!
Second, Xuanzang is definitely a potential stock!
Regardless of whether he could become the Sandalwood Merit Buddha as recorded in Journey to the West in the future, Li Daoxuan felt that at least he would not be unknown.
Thirdly, Master Sanle saved his life last night. Although Li Daoxuan would avenge his enemies, he would also repay favors. He thought that giving him a top-grade magical weapon was too little.
Looking at the antique Yuchang sword, Xuanzang, who had a keen eye, could see its extraordinaryness at a glance.
With evil spirit inside and sword light outside, it is indeed a good sword for slaying demons and eliminating evil!
"This sword is called Yuchang, and it is one of the ten famous swords of the Spring and Autumn Period. It is a top-grade magical weapon. You cannot practice it for the time being, so it is best to use it for self-defense."
Looking at the sword, Xuanzang stood there in a daze.
From childhood to adulthood, he had almost no friends, and because of his identity as a disciple of Sanle, he suffered cold eyes and ridicule in the city. Li Daoxuan was the first person other than his master who was so kind to him.
"Master Li, this is too precious, I can't--"
Li Daoxuan stuffed it into his hand and said with a smile, "You and I are brothers, why should we be so formal? When you have mastered the magical powers of Buddhism, maybe I will need your help with something."
Xuanzang held the cold Yuchang sword, but a warm feeling surged in his heart.
He lowered his head so that Li Daoxuan would not see his wet eyes, and said firmly: "If Xuanzang succeeds in his practice in the future, I will repay Brother Li for giving me the sword!"
Well, I have been upgraded from Taoist Priest Li to Big Brother Li.
