Li Daoxuan's eyes moved and asked: "Master, is there really a dragon in this place?"
He did kill a snake demon with the blood of a true dragon, but the creature was only the product of the mating of a true dragon and a rattlesnake, and was not considered a dragon.
Since the immortal Buddha disappeared, there has been no trace of the real dragon in this world.
Zhang Qianyang nodded and said: "There really is a dragon in Longyou County, right in the octagonal dragon well in the Wanshou Palace!"
Li Daoxuan asked quickly: "Master, what on earth is going on?"
"This matter must start with the founder of Longevity Palace, Heavenly Master Xu Jingyang."
"Master Xu Tianshi is as famous as the founder of our Longhu Mountain. In the first year of Taikang in the Jin Dynasty, he studied under Wu Meng, the true king of Dadong. He later founded Taishang Lingbao Jingming Dharma and became the founder of the sect. When he traveled around the world, he was in Jingzhou Encountered a dragon making trouble!"
"I don't know how many years that dragon has been cultivating. Its magical power is so profound that even the dragon king of Dongting Lake is bullied by it and feels inferior. The dragon is doing whatever it wants in Jingzhou. Every year, just because of the raging floods, countless people are drowned. common people.”
"Xu Tianshi hates evil and will not sit idly by. He drew his sword and killed the dragon. The two fought for seven days and seven nights. In the end, Xu Tianshi was superior and could kill the dragon right before his eyes!"
Li Daoxuan frowned and said, "There must have been some accident. Someone came to save this dragon?"
Zhang Qianyang nodded and said: "At that time, the gods and Buddhas had not completely disappeared. Just when Xu Tianshi was about to kill the dragon, the incarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva appeared and interceded, hoping that Xu Tianshi could spare its life."
Li Dao
"Then Master Xu Tian agreed?"
Zhang Qianyang chuckled, with a hint of admiration in his eyes, and said: "Master Xu Tianshi is as fierce as fire and hates evil as much as he hates evil. He superficially agreed to the Bodhisattva's request and said he was willing to give the dragon a chance, as long as it could dig a hundred ditches before dawn. To benefit the people.”
"The dragon tried its best to dig ninety-nine ditches before dawn, and it was about to be completed. However, Xu Tianshi had already talked to Lord Maori Xingjun in heaven, and ordered him to wait for dawn a moment earlier, so that the dragon failed. .”
Li Dao
In Journey to the West, Li Dao That lofty immortal god.
The most typical ones are the three demons of Shituoling.
To use the original words in the book, "Skeletons are like mountains, and bones are like forests. Human hair is like felt pieces, human skin and flesh are rotten into soil, and human sinews are wrapped around trees, and they are burnt and shiny like silver. It is really a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and it really stinks." Smells bad."
It used to be the Celestial Kingdom, but now it's the Tiger and Wolf City!
Even though they had committed such evil, the three demons still patted their butts and left in the end, returning to heaven to continue to enjoy happiness.
Therefore, after Li Daoxuan heard about Xu Tianshi's behavior, he couldn't help but feel a strong affection in his heart.
"Master, what happened next?"
Zhang Qianyang continued: "When the dragon saw that it was getting brighter and knew that he had failed, he damaged his cultivation and fled in blood. He came to a place and turned into a teacher."
"It's a coincidence that Jiaolong was afraid of being found by Xu Tianshi, so he worked conscientiously and didn't dare to do evil. He actually started to study the books of sages and taught many good students. He was always good at charity and had a good reputation in the local area."
Li Daoxuan's eyes lit up and he said, "Master, is that place Longyou County?"
Zhang Qianyang nodded and said: "It was not called Longyou County at that time, it was called Xinjian County. The dragon lived in seclusion in Xinjian County, but he didn't expect that after hiding for several years, Xu Tianshi found him and subdued him again."
"But at that time, the people of Xinjian County interceded for him, and even the county magistrate vouched for him. In the end, Xu Tianshi did not kill it, but took the essence of cold iron, made eight chains, imprisoned it in the well, and placed it in the well. This established the sect and created the Longevity Palace."
"Before Xu Tianshi ascended to heaven, in order to prevent the dragon from escaping one day, he left his dragon-slaying magic sword and ordered someone to build an iron tree beside the well. He also said that the dragon can escape from the trap only when the iron tree blooms."
Li Daoxuan smiled and said: "How can the iron tree bloom? Master Xu Tianshi did this to prevent the dragon from getting out of trouble forever!"
Zhang Qianyang smiled and said: "That's right. From then on, dragon chants occasionally sounded underground in Xinjian County. Over time, the name was changed and called Longyou County."
Li Dao
The two walked while chatting, and soon entered Longyou County.
This county is much larger and more prosperous than Xinyang County. The streets are smooth and the people have rosy complexions and appear to be full of life.
"When dragons are here and wind and cloud gather together, they will naturally get some luck. Over the past hundreds of years, Longyou County has produced many talents, which can be called outstanding people."
Zhang Qianyang explained.
The two walked for a long time according to the location recorded on the land deed, and finally found the Qingniu Temple.
This Taoist temple is not too run-down, with a red door and a high plaque, and it even looks a bit grand.
It's just that it's very quiet here, and you can't hear any noise at all.
Li Daoxuan saw an old man sitting at the door of the house opposite. His eyes were empty, and he seemed to be blind.
He just sat blankly at the door, with a trace of numbness on his wrinkled face.
Li Daoxuan walked over and asked, "Old man, can you hear me?"
The moment he heard the sound, the old man trembled suddenly and seemed very nervous.
"Don't be afraid, I am a Taoist priest from Qingniu Temple."
The old man raised his empty eyes, shook his head and said: "You are not... the Taoist priests of Qingniu Temple... are all dead!"
Li Daoxuan's heart sank. There was indeed something strange in the view of the green ox.
No wonder the Taoist priest surnamed Wu would give them the land deed, probably because he wanted to use the dirty things in Qingniu Temple to teach them a lesson.
"Old man, I am a new Taoist priest. What happened to the Qingniu Temple? And what about the people nearby? Why are they so quiet?"
When the old man heard that he was a new Taoist priest, he couldn't help but persuade him: "Taoist priest, from the sound of your voice, you should be young. Listen to the old man's advice and leave quickly. All the people around here are gone. There is no one here." How dare people live here!”
Li Daoxuan smiled and said, "But don't you live here?"
"Old man, I'm blind. I have nowhere to go if I leave here."
As if aware that Li Daoxuan refused to leave, the old man sighed and said: "The sound of sharpening a knife!"
Li Daoxuan was startled and asked, "What do you mean by this?"
The old man's hand kept shaking, getting bigger and bigger.
"The sound of sharpening knives can be heard here every night. It's very loud. The battle is like slaughtering pigs and sheep."
After a pause, the old man's voice trembled a little, and he said: "The first ones to be slaughtered...were the Taoist priests from Qingniu Temple!"
The third update is dedicated to show your heart!
