The temperature in the water tank is getting higher and higher, and it has a tendency to boil.
A hot feeling came over him, and Li Daoxuan knew that if he continued like this, he would really become a boiled fish.
We must find a way!
Suddenly, he saw the Three Realms Gourd in the hands of the old Heavenly Master, and his eyes lit up slightly.
He kept nodding towards the old Heavenly Master and glanced at the Three Realms Gourd.
The old Heavenly Master raised his eyebrows, shook the Three Realms Gourd, and said, "You mean, there is something in it that can prove your identity?"
Li Daoxuan nodded quickly.
The old Heavenly Master was doubtful, so he opened the gourd. The next moment, a white light rushed out, flying around the old Heavenly Master very excitedly.
As white as ice and snow, with flawless fairy light and full of divine aura, it is one of the three great treasures of Longhu Mountain, the Yang Ping Zhidu Gong Seal!
Before falling into his dream, Zhang Qianyang pulled Li Daoxuan aside and handed him the Yang Ping Zhidu Gong Seal.
He was worried that his apprentice would be in danger in his dream, so he lent this seal to keep his apprentice safe.
Yangping Zhidu Gong Seal has been played with by the old master all his life, and there is an inseparable connection between the two, so Li Daoxuan asked the old master to open the three realm gourd.
Sure enough, as the Three Realms Gourd was opened, Yangping Zhidu Gong Seal rushed out impatiently and returned to the hands of his old master excitedly.
The old Heavenly Master was slightly startled. He looked at the treasure seal as if he were looking at an old friend.
"The seal...is real."
The old Heavenly Master waved his hand and put away the Yangping Zhidu Gong Seal. His eyes suddenly became very complicated. He stared at Li Daoxuan for a moment, and then stretched out his hand a little.
Li Daoxuan and Nightmare Tong jumped out of the water tank, grew their arms and legs again, and regained their human form.
There was a trace of lingering fear in his eyes. Such a terrifying magical power made him completely powerless to resist.
There are also animal-transforming or animal-making techniques in Taoism, which can turn people into animals, but those spells tend to be evil arts and have many prerequisites. How can they be like the Heavenly Master who can do it casually?
Nightmare Tong was also so frightened that he hid behind Li Daoxuan and did not dare to show his face.
"Taichong, the ninth generation true disciple of Longhu Mountain, has met his master!"
Li Daoxuan bowed and saluted.
The old Heavenly Master smiled slightly awkwardly and said, "Disciple, it turns out you are real."
Li Daoxuan smiled bitterly and said: "Master, are there others who came before me?"
The old Heavenly Master nodded and sighed: "Before you, I have already met Qianyang, Jiuxiao, Ningyan and Dabao. Their words were different, but they all said they wanted to help me leave the dreamland."
Li Daoxuan immediately shook his head and said: "This is absolutely impossible. Although master and uncle are both in Longhu Mountain, they have no way to enter your dream. What you see must be fake!"
The old master sighed: "Yes, they are all fake, so I have drunk fish soup four times."
Jiang Taigong is fishing, and those who wish will take the bait.
Although the Heavenly Master is deep in a dream, is he also fishing for Mara?
It’s just that every time it appears, it’s just the incarnation of Moro.
Li Daoxuan finally understood why his master turned him into a carp as soon as they met. It turned out that he had been deceived too much.
"Master, I heard you mention Moro before. Could it be that Moro was the one who trapped you in your dream?"
The old Heavenly Master nodded and said: "Yes, it is Moro. Do you know the origin of this Moro?"
Li Daoxuan shook his head. He only knew that there was a Moro sect, and top powerhouses such as the eight-tailed fox demon, Pan Dan, and Xudu were all members of the sect.
"It's normal that you don't know, because what Mara said is a Buddhist allusion."
The old Heavenly Master looked towards the cloudless sky, as if he wanted to see something.
"It is said that when Buddha Sakyamuni attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, he was entangled with a demon. The demon was the demon king of the sixth heaven of the desire realm, named Bo Xun."
"Bo Xun tried every means to hinder Sakyamuni's enlightenment. Although he failed to trap the Buddha in the end, he made him sit quietly under the Bodhi tree for forty-nine days before he discovered the truth."
After a pause, the old master continued: "Since then, Bo Xun has been the symbol of the demon in Buddhism, and in Sanskrit, the demon is Mara."
After hearing what the old Heavenly Master said, Li Daoxuan was shocked.
Mara, turned out to be the Demon King Boxun of the Sixth Heaven of Desire Realm, the Enlightenment Enemy of Sakyamuni?
This identity is not surprising. A demon who can arm-wrestle with the Buddha, no wonder he can trap a mighty Yang Shen like Lao Tianshi.
"I didn't expect that Sakyamuni disappeared, but his old enemy is still there, but he has become weaker. Otherwise, even an experienced person would have fallen into the devil."
The old Heavenly Master sighed and said that he didn't know what the gods and Buddhas had gone through back then, and why they all disappeared. On the contrary, big demons like Moro were still there.
It's just that Moro seemed to have been severely injured, so even he couldn't take it down, and someone needed to cooperate with the poison.
"Master, do you know who poisoned me?"
The eyes of the old Heavenly Master fluctuated, as if he remembered something.
"It was a very terrifying poison that was smeared on the hilt of the Sanwu Evil Slaying Sword. That day, I just touched it lightly, and it seeped into my skin and flesh, and then Moro invaded my sea of consciousness. , dragging me into a dream.”
The old Heavenly Master praised: "As expected of a Buddhist Heavenly Demon, what a good method."
Li Daoxuan noticed that the old master seemed to be deliberately avoiding his question.
The master once told him that only the blood of the Heavenly Master can touch the three-five evil-killing male and female swords.
The murderer was able to smear poison on the hilt of the sword without being resisted by the divine sword, which shows that the man must be named Zhang.
Moreover, that person had a high status and could enter the Demon-Suppressing Hall at any time and come into contact with the male and female swords for killing evil.
Li Dao
So the answer is already obvious, the person who poisoned is Zhang Jiuxiao!
It’s just that the Heavenly Master deliberately avoided this topic and didn’t seem to want to talk about it.
Li Daoxuan thought for a while and said: "Master, if you don't wake up, your body will be completely destroyed by the poison. Let's leave here first!"
He signaled the nightmare boy to take the old master out of the dream.
Nightmare Boy nodded, and just as he was about to activate his magical power, an old hand touched his head, making him stiff and unable to move.
The old Heavenly Master touched Nightmare Tong and said, "It's gratifying that Qing Yi's cultivation has reached this point."
Through Nightmare Tong, he saw the current state of the Tsing Yi Empress, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Master, what are you..."
Li Dao
The old Heavenly Master looked up at Li Daoxuan, his eyes flickering and unpredictable.
He suddenly asked a question.
"Daoxuan, how long have I slept in reality?"
"……eight days."
"eight days……"
There was a hint of vicissitudes in the old Heavenly Master's eyes. He stared at Li Daoxuan and sighed deeply.
"But here I am eighty years later."
