Li Daoxuan also knew something about Zhang Guolao.
It is said that he was a servant in the Emperor Yao's era. By the early Tang Dynasty, he had lived for more than 3,000 years and became an immortal by taking Polygonum multiflorum. The Complete Biography of the Eight Immortals records that in his previous life, he was the first bat in heaven and earth, and he was reincarnated later. Become Zhang Guolao.
Emperor Taizong and Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty sent people to search for him many times, but Zhang Guolao refused to go.
Later, Wu Zetian sent people to invite him but failed. It was not until the Xuanzong period that Li Longji successfully invited Zhang Guolao and awarded him "Doctor Yinqing Guanglu" and the title "Mr. Tongxuan".
But what is interesting is that Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty wanted to marry his sister Princess Yuzhen to Zhang Guolao, but Zhang Guolao insisted on refusing, singing: "You can get a princess by marrying a wife, and you can be promoted to a prince in ten places. People think it is gratifying, but I think it is terrifying."
After singing, he burst into laughter, then took out the paper donkey, blew it into shape, and rode away on the donkey's back.
In today's Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that Zhang Guolao, who "is not riding a donkey backwards, but looks back on everything", is gone. The anecdotes between him and Xuanzong are destined to be just memories of Li Daoxuan's previous life.
Without any hesitation, Li Daoxuan immediately learned the magic of cutting paper into horses.
Many memories flooded into his mind, all about the training tips of this spell. It was not simple. It seemed like just cutting a paper horse, but it was actually very complicated.
This secret technique comes from "The True Secret of the Jade Cave God's Dansha". If you want to make paper that can be used to cast spells, there are many procedures. For example, you must use "one pound of mercury and three ounces of sulfur" to make purple sand. The purple sand is dried for 7749 days, then crushed and melted into yellow paper before use.
And the yellow paper cannot be ordinary paper, but must be made of spiritual green bamboo and then smoked in an incense burner...
After understanding the magic of cutting paper into horses, Li Daoxuan finally understood why it did not reach the level of magical power. It was too troublesome...
Li Daoxuan stepped out of the Guanyin Temple, facing the sunset, and headed to Lu Siyuan's home in the east of the village.
Apart from the horse demon, it was just an appetizer, and what happened next was the real goal of his trip.
He wanted to catch the ghost baby. Firstly, he could clear away the rumors about his master. Secondly, he could use the ghost baby's mouth to let everyone see the true face of the master's uncle, causing his prestige to plummet.
The most important thing is that with the ghost baby in hand, he and his master can take action against the uncle in a legitimate manner.
Otherwise, Zhang Jiuxiao, as the chief disciple of Lao Tianshi, the elder brother of his master, and a direct bloodline of Longhu Mountain, has too high a status in Tianshi Mansion. Even if Li Daoxuan and others are confident of taking him down, they cannot act rashly.
He is different from Xudu. Xudu is the notorious Ghost King of Underworld, a being that everyone shouts to beat, but Zhang Jiuxiao is one of the legitimate successors of Longhu Mountain.
When facing demons and heretics, just use force to crush them. But when facing people from the righteous path, you still have to show off your skills.
This is the rule of the Taoist sect.
Of course, Li Daoxuan can also ignore the rules and only focus on muscles, but this is the last thing he will consider. The current situation is very good, and there is no need to ruin his reputation.
…
It is not difficult to find Lu Siyuan's home. It is said that the ancestors of the Lu family once served as officials. Later, although the family fell into decline, his poems and books were handed down. Lu Siyuan is now the only teacher in the village. Although he does not earn much money, he has a good status. high.
A few years ago, Lu Siyuan married his wife Li, and the two of them played the piano and the harp as well as each other, and were envied by the people in the village.
His wife, Mrs. Li, was even more famous for her virtuousness. Even though she was pregnant with Liujia, she kept the house in order so that her husband could concentrate on studying and preparing for the imperial examination.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Li died in childbirth. From then on, Lu Siyuan became depressed and became a poor scholar.
Lu family.
Li Daoxuan knocked several times before someone opened the door.
What appeared in front of him was a thin, middle-aged man with a downcast expression. He was wearing a Confucian shirt. He had the same dark circles under the eyes as the villagers. He was mentally depressed. He was slightly startled when he saw Li Daoxuan in a brocade robe.
"Your Excellency, is Mr. Lu Siyuanlu?"
Lu Siyuan closed the door, only half of his body was exposed, and with a bit of caution in his eyes, he said, "Who are you? Why did you come to my home?"
Li Dao
Lu Siyuan frowned and said, "Young man, I would like to advise you that it is best not to stay overnight in the village."
Li Dao
Ten taels of silver for a night's stay is already an extremely generous reward.
But Lu Siyuan still advised: "Master, I still advise you to go back quickly before the sun goes down completely!"
But Li Daoxuan insisted on staying here.
Finally, as the sun set and night began to fall, Lu Siyuan seemed to realize that he could not persuade this handsome young man. He hesitated and asked, "Does your wife also go to the Guanyin Temple to burn incense?"
Li Daoxuan nodded and smiled: "Yes, I became pregnant soon after."
Lu Siyuan lowered his eyes, showing an imperceptible apology.
He gritted his teeth, opened the door and let Li Daoxuan walk in, saying: "Come in, I don't want your money. I can only stay for one night. You must leave immediately the next morning!"
After that, he led Li Daoxuan to a side room and said: "The bedding is a little damp. It hasn't been occupied for a long time. You can make do with it. It's best not to sleep tonight."
After a pause, he warned again: "Remember, no matter what, don't go out at night. If you think of Gong, just endure it. If there is a barrel in the room, you can make do with it."
After saying that, he immediately returned to his room and immediately locked the door.
This scene reminded Li Daoxuan of his experience in Yaowang Village. The people there were also like this. They did not dare to go out at night. He stayed in other people's homes and was told not to go out at night.
It's just that Shanghe Village is weirder than Yaowang Village. In addition to not going out, you can't sleep.
Both the old man and Lu Siyuan emphasized this point.
…
At night.
Li Daoxuan waved his sleeves and used the magical power of borrowing wind.
The breeze blew through every corner, taking away dust and cobwebs and rolling them out the window.
He did not sleep on that damp and decaying wooden bed. Instead, he floated in the air and lay down gently. Below him was a piece of white and soft clouds, floating gently in the room.
The Seventy-Two Divine Powers of Earthly Fiend!
Of course, the reason why Li Daoxuan sleeps on the cloud is not to show off his magical powers, or because he dislikes the poor conditions here, but because he is practicing "Peng Zugu Xian Lie Yin Gong".
Originally thinking that he could get a glimpse of the wordless heavenly book and learn the superior techniques in it, Li Daoxuan spent less and less time on this technique.
But who knew that the Wordless Heavenly Book was in Zhang Jiuxiao's hands and would be difficult to see for a while, so during this period Li Daoxuan began to study this technique again.
He discovered that if this technique was practiced while floating in the air and isolated from the influence of the earth's energy, the practice would be faster!
Now, with his training in "Peng Zu Gu Xian Wo Yin Gong", he is about to enter the realm of transformation, and is only one step away from the highest third realm, "Fetal Breath".
He had a vague hunch that if he could reach the realm of fetal breath, he might have an unexpected surprise.
As for the ghost baby, Li Daoxuan had searched it with his heavenly eyes before, but found no trace of it.
He was not in a hurry. When he saw Lu Siyuan, he knew that he had found the right place, because Lu Siyuan's body had an extremely rich Yin energy, which was very similar to the aura on the ghost baby.
From this, we can see that the ghost baby and Lu Siyuan must have a very close relationship!
However, Lu Siyuan's attitude made Li Daoxuan a little confused, because the other party was powerless and seemed to be really worried about him, so he finally let him into the house.
…
"Peng Zu Gu Xian Wo Yin Gong" is a very subtle and mysterious sleep technique, which emphasizes sleeping but not sleeping, waking up but not waking up. Once you fall asleep completely or wake up completely, you can no longer continue to perform the exercise.
With Li Daoxuan's attainments and state of mind, he shouldn't have made any mistakes on this, but for some reason, after practicing for a while tonight, he felt sleepy and fell into the deepest dreamland. .
Gu Gu!
Li Daoxuan heard the hoot of an owl in his ears, and he opened his eyes suddenly, with a flash of electricity in his eyes.
When I came back to my senses, the night wind was howling, the cicadas were chirping, the stars were shining brightly above my head, and the bright moon was hanging high.
He looked around and found that he was lying by the lake in Shanghe Village instead of Lu Siyuan's home.
What's even more strange is that Li Daoxuan saw a bare area beside the lake. There was no Guanyin Temple at all, and there were no traces of its construction.
"interesting……"
Li Daoxuan has realized that he is in a dream, but this dream is not under his control, as if it is controlled by a mysterious force.
He suddenly thought of his old Heavenly Master. Is this how he feels now, Master?
Li Daoxuan opened his celestial eye between his brows and illuminated the void.
The surrounding scene suddenly began to distort, as if it could not withstand the power of the Sky Eye and was about to be seen through.
Erlang Zhenjun opened the eyes of the sky and has the ability to break all the illusions in the world, and dreams are also a kind of illusion.
Just when this dream was about to break, a hand suddenly stretched out from the ground and held Li Daoxuan's foot. It was the ghost baby.
Li Daoxuan showed a sneer, finally willing to show his face?
His heavenly eye brewed a ray of demon-conquering golden light, ready to shoot towards the ghost baby at his feet, but the next moment, he was slightly stunned.
Because there was a look of sadness and pleading in the ghost baby's eyes.
He seemed to be begging Li Daoxuan not to break this dream...
"You mean, you created this dream specifically for me, not to kill me, but to tell me something?"
Hearing this, Guiying immediately nodded. He got out of the ground, with the uncut umbilical cord still hanging on his small body. He kept kowtowing to Li Daoxuan. His expression was sad and anxious, just like when he went to Longhu Mountain to provoke him. Arrogance has two completely different looks.
