Seeing Xu Xuan's dumbfounded embarrassment, Cheng Lingsu sighed helplessly in response to her husband's bad taste, and smiled and asked: "Axuan, that herb that can cure the 'Seven Step Down' snake venom, you Can it be found in its haunted place?”
Hearing this question, Xu Xuan finally came to his senses and determined that the white-clothed fairy in front of him, whom he had only dreamed of for more than twenty years, was the "Medicine Fairy Empress" who had been teaching him medical skills in dreams for many years but could never see her face clearly. ”, endless admiration suddenly surged in my heart, and my eyes turned red involuntarily.
He hurried forward and bowed down in front of Cheng Lingsu, and the title he used when they met in the dream came out naturally: "Godmother!"
Cheng Lingsu nodded with a smile. Back then, she accidentally sensed the devout prayer of a child who lost his father through the statue in the temple. She was moved by compassion and manifested a vision, and she agreed to give the child the title of adopted son.
In the years that followed, although she only occasionally cast spells and dreams to teach her godson medical skills, and taught him some Qi-guiding techniques to strengthen his body, she gradually recognized that this pure-hearted and sincere child had begun to develop a future. He took over the idea of introducing a master and passing on the mantle.
It's just that she has been in trouble recently and doesn't want to involve her adopted son who has no foundation in spiritual practice, so she has shelved the matter for the time being.
After Xu Xuan saluted him, Cheng Lingsu pointed at Hu Long beside him and said with a smile: "Axuan, this Taoist priest is indeed my godmother's Taoist companion. Come and meet him too!"
Xu Xuan did not hesitate, and immediately turned around and bowed to Hu Long again. However, after bowing, he opened his mouth and tried several times before he finally said "godfather" with a very slight sound.
"Good boy!" Hu Yun smiled happily, stretched out his big hand to pull Xu Xuan up, patted his shoulder and said, "This call of 'godfather' will never be in vain. As a father, I have... stop!"
He was only halfway through his words when he suddenly gave a sharp shout and the expression on his face changed accordingly.
Accompanied by the sound of shouting, eight simple-looking three-foot long swords flew out from the jade gourd hanging on his left wrist.
At this moment, Zhixiang, who was originally watching Hu Yuan's back chasing after him, was facing a huge crisis.
A pair of huge golden hammers shaped like budding lotus flowers, wielding the power of Mount Tai and the power of thunder, fell fiercely towards his pale little face.
Suddenly, eight long swords flew from the sky, either upright, slanted, straight or curved, and pierced the owner of the bronze hammer along different trajectories, using the strategy of "surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao".
The person who wielded the hammer saw that the eight swords were extraordinary objects, and the incoming force contained extremely mysterious changes, which made her feel frightened, and she did not dare to neglect it at that time.
Fortunately, the double hammers she dropped looked fierce, but were actually mainly for intimidation, and she had some reserve power in the secret, so she was able to calmly change her moves and turn to hit each other.
With a loud bang as the two hammers struck each other, the hammer head exploded into a sky full of golden lotus petals, which turned into a huge ball one after another, covering her whole body.
The eight long swords stabbed the lotus petals, immediately bursting out a series of bright sparks, but they could not break through this defense.
The function of these lotus petals is not only for defense, but they also roll out outwards to trap the eight long swords.
The eight-mouthed long sword moves as fast as a god, scattering and gathering at random, moving vertically and horizontally among the lotus petals in the sky, finding gaps to penetrate and stab and chop.
After the two sides exchanged blows in an instant, Hu Long and Cheng Lingsu rushed to the scene.
"Master, help me!"
Zhi Xiang, who was still alive after the disaster, saw the savior coming and let out an earth-shattering scream, then rolled and crawled to the ground and ran away to Hu Huan.
"Brother, Axiu, please stop, you are one of our own!"
Cheng Lingsu recognized at a glance that it was his friend He Xiangu who was fighting with Hu Yuan from afar, and hurriedly stopped him.
Hu Long raised his hand to draw it across the void, and the eight-mouthed long sword easily escaped the entanglement of lotus petals and penetrated into the gourd hidden in his sleeve like a bird flying into the forest.
He Xiangu raised two bare hammer handles, and lotus petals in the air gathered on the top of the hammer handles. Then she put her two hammers together and turned them into a side-by-side lotus. The petals were so delicate that they seemed to have just been picked.
Cheng Lingsu stepped forward and held He Xiangu's arm, and asked with a smile: "Axiu, why are you here? What happened just now?"
He Xiangu smiled and said: "Sister, you were walking in a hurry just now. I was afraid that you would cause trouble, so I chased after you. When I got here, I met the little demon. He didn't know what he had done. Unfortunately, he saw me turning around from a distance and ran away. Naturally, I couldn't let him go easily, so I caught up with him and wanted to capture him and investigate him carefully. Do you know...sister, who is the Taoist over there? Are you in a hurry to come see him?"
Cheng Lingsu and Hu Long were a serious old couple, and they were not shy at all. They took He Xiangu on their arms and returned to Hu Lu. They said openly and honestly: "Axiu is here just in time. Sister will introduce you. This is my sister. My husband in the previous life was known by his common name Hu Yuan and his Taoist name 'Taipuzi'. Brother, this is my good friend Aunt He Xiu in this life, and everyone calls her 'Aunt He Xian'."
When they have reached their level of cultivation, they have more or less glimpsed some of the secrets of heaven and earth. They know that there was a great catastrophe that shattered a complete and huge world, and that is why we have the current layout with the earthly immortal world as its core origin and countless worlds of different sizes surrounding it. , and also knew that practitioners either shattered the void, or were reincarnated to continue their practice in another world, so Cheng Lingsu did not need to deliberately conceal her and Hu Long's life experience.
As for the specially added sentence at the end, she was vaguely reminding Hu Long that this was one of the famous Eight Immortals in later generations, so as to prevent him from making a fuss.
Sure enough, when He Xiangu learned about the relationship between the two, although she was quite surprised, she was only surprised by the fate of their reunion after a lifetime, and did not show any other thoughts.
After she was surprised, she showed her usual magnanimity and boldness. She saluted Hu Long first and said, "It turns out he is my brother-in-law. You are so polite, little sister!"
Hu Yuan had traveled through several worlds and had seen countless famous people in later generations. He Xiangu didn't make him fuss, and she returned the favor in a decent manner.
Then he called out his acquaintance who was hiding behind him, and scolded him angrily: "I only said that you shouldn't be as flamboyant as before, but I didn't let you be so insignificant and hide from others!"
The acquaintance said with a bitter look on his face: "Master Rong, I am really frightened by the Zen Master Fahai. I am afraid that this fairy will be like him and kill the aliens indiscriminately when he sees them. So, I want to avoid it first..."
Hu Yuan had already guessed what he was thinking. He shook his head and laughed. He turned around and introduced the Zhixiang's background and experience to the two girls, and then asked him to come forward to greet them.
The Prime Minister first paid homage to Cheng Lingsu, calling her "Mrs.", and then went to pay homage to He Xiangu with some trepidation.
He Xiangu smiled and said: "That's all, after all, I acted a little recklessly just now, so this pill of replenishing qi and cultivating energy can be considered as an apology to you."
As he raised his hand while speaking, a pill flew towards Zhixiang.
The acquaintance subconsciously stretched out his hand to catch it, and saw that the pill was purple-red in color, round and flawless, and the faint fragrance it exuded was refreshing. He knew at a glance that it was not an ordinary pill. He was overjoyed at that time and hurriedly bowed to express his thanks again.
He Xiangu thought of another thing and smiled at Cheng Lingsu: "Sister, you don't want to pay attention to that guy Chi Xiao, why don't you ask your brother-in-law to send him away?"
As soon as Hu Yun heard this, he knew something was going on inside and immediately asked what happened.
He Xiangu opened her mouth and rushed to tell the story about Chi Xiao pestering Cheng Lingsu to ask for the Alchemy Book and even plotting evil intentions.
Hu Yuan's face turned dark immediately, and there was only one thought left in his mind: "It's tolerable, but who can't be tolerated!"
