"receive!"
Following Li Daoxuan's order, Chixiao, Bailong, Juque and the Wanren Divine Sword all flew back to the sword box and hid them in the sheath.
For a moment, the sky and the earth were silent, the sword no longer screamed, and there was no more sword light. The surrounding wind was light and the clouds were calm, and the sun was warm, as if everything before was all an illusion.
When it is released, it is like the heaven and earth falling apart, and when it is received, it is like the condensed light of the river and the sea.
The Dragon Sword Box automatically closed, but did not shrink. Instead, it stood quietly in place, as if a real dragon was sleeping.
Li Dao
I don’t know how many women’s eyes are filled with brilliance and their hearts are filled with excitement like this.
The corner of Xu Qingxuan's mouth twitched slightly. This brat put the Wanren Divine Sword into his sword case so skillfully. Is that your sword?
Yan Chixia said worriedly: "Master, is the demon dead?"
"Of course not. Otherwise, why would this kid not return the sword he held as his master?"
Xu Qingxuan laughed and cursed, then looked at the sky and said calmly: "Moluo... interesting, Chixia, it seems we have to stay in Chang'an for a few days."
Among the people, there was a wave of cheers, like a tide.
"Great, we are saved!"
"Zhenren Li is right, that is indeed a Buddha transformed from a demon!"
"Haha, let me just say, with Master Li here, we don't have to be afraid of anything!"
"I don't know if Master Li will accept a disciple. If that boy of mine can become a disciple of Master Li, it will be a blessing accumulated in three lifetimes."
"Don't be delusional. I heard that Zhenren Li only accepted one disciple, Princess Changle!"
…
On the altar, as time passed little by little, the statue of the Tsing Yi Empress finally absorbed all the incense faith.
The next moment, bright rays of light shone in all directions, lotus shadows appeared all around, golden beads fell from the sky, and a bright moon appeared in the sky, shining with the bright sun.
As various visions of heaven and earth appeared, Li Daoxuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. This meant that the empress had completely refined the incense belief in this ceremony, and then she could move into the temple.
From now on, the full name of the Tsing Yi Empress is the Nine Heavens Xuanyin Tsing Yi Holy Empress, and she is also the Heavenly Mother Protector of the Tang Dynasty. She will gain a huge amount of faith, and with this, she canonize the underworld gods, the city emperor's land, and gradually restore the order of the underworld.
Once the old demon from Black Mountain is eliminated in Fusui City, the troubled times in the underworld will be completely over.
And the empress in blue who ends the troubled times in the underworld is naturally the new Emperor Fengdu or Emperor Dongyue. Even thinking about it further, there may not be any possibility of attaining the throne of the Queen Earth God.
Empress Houtu is the mother of the earth in ancient Chinese mythology and one of the four emperors of heaven. She is called the King of Youdu in "Songs of Chu". Her full name is the empress of earth who emulates the virtues of the heavens and emulates the virtues and makes her great, uniting with God. Known as Heavenly Father and Earthly Mother, she is responsible for the reproduction of yin and yang, the beauty of all things, and the beauty of the mountains and rivers of the earth.
A true ancient god!
Legend has it that the Six Paths of Reincarnation is her transformation, and in the underworld, she can even fight against saints.
If the Empress in Tsing Yi can achieve the position of Houtu God in the future, it will definitely be a great blessing. Of course, it is too early to say this now.
Li Shimin also breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, the most critical step in the Zen ceremony was finally completed.
Even the Buddha appeared just now. Even he felt a little scared, fearing that Li Daoxuan could not stop the hanging Buddha's hand, but fortunately, Taichong never let him down.
Li Shimin looked around, then smiled slightly, and suddenly read loudly: "Taichong listens!"
Li Daoxuan was stunned. Why didn't he know that there was still this part of the ceremony?
However, he immediately bowed and saluted.
"Since I ascended the throne, I have been sleeping day and night, fearing that the evil will not be eradicated and my family and country will be in trouble. Fortunately, I have received a genius from heaven. In my weak years, I have killed countless demons, helped the country to stay in peace, and made many extraordinary achievements. It is truly a gift from heaven to me. The pillar of the Tang Dynasty, the golden beam that supports the sea!"
"Today, Taichong is appointed as our Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty. He is given the title of Qianyuan Miao Dao, Dragon and Tiger Subdue Demon Heavenly Master. He has the same position as the Three Dukes, the leader of the Hidden Dragons, and is in charge of the Taoist sects of the world!"
Li Daoxuan's heart was filled with waves.
He did not expect that His Majesty would confer him the title of Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty, and even directly confer him the title of Heavenly Master!
The title of National Master represents a lofty status, while the title of Celestial Master represents the supreme reputation in Taoism. Although the Tang Dynasty respected Taoism, since the founding of the country, no Taoist priest has ever had such an honor!
The wonderful way of Qianyuan, the dragon and the tiger subjugate the demons, the heavenly master!
Not everyone can bear such a prestigious title. Sometimes the title is too big, which is harmful to people with weak luck. If the character is not strong, it is easy to encounter disaster.
"Why, Taichong, I dare to block it, but you don't dare to accept it?"
Li Shimin looked at him and said with a half-smile.
Li Daoxuan also smiled. He straightened his back and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, why do you need to provoke me? I just accept the order."
The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
Li Shimin gave him full trust, as well as huge power and honor. Li Daoxuan naturally knew what he wanted. He wanted a peaceful and prosperous era where demons were eliminated and all people were healthy, and he wanted the reputation of a wise king through the ages.
Give me peaches and give me Qiong Yao.
Li Shimin was so kind to him, so he would naturally return the favor and give him what he dreamed of.
When they heard that Li Zhenren had agreed to become the Great Master of the Tang Dynasty, the people below the altar cheered enthusiastically. What they were most worried about was that Li Zhenren would only stay in Chang'an for a period of time, and then he would disappear and the dragon would disappear.
Now it's fine. Master Li's agreement to become the national master means that he will stay here for a long time and will always protect the Tang Dynasty!
This is definitely great news for the people of Chang'an.
Amid cheers, the ceremony of conferring Zen was successfully concluded without any danger, despite the twists and turns, and the dust settled.
But at this moment, Wang Bo came in a hurry and looked very gloomy.
Li Dao
Now that Wang Bo is back, Changle still hasn't come.
Recalling what Moro said again, Li Daoxuan knew that there was a high probability that Changle had an accident.
As expected, Wang Bo said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I searched the entire imperial city and found no trace of the princess. I only found the princess's maid, but..."
"But what happened?"
"Those two maids...are dead!"
Li Shimin was startled. He quickly looked at Empress Changsun and saw that her face was pale and almost bloodless.
Li Dao
"Your Majesty, send the queen back to the palace quickly and find the best stable woman to serve her, just in case."
Li Shimin nodded, took Empress Changsun's hand and comforted her: "Don't worry, Empress, I will definitely bring Changle back!"
Empress Changsun took a deep breath to stabilize her emotions, and then pleaded to Li Daoxuan: "Zhenren Li, please rescue Changle!"
Li Daoxuan nodded and said firmly: "Queen, please rest assured, Changle is my direct disciple, I will definitely bring her back safe and sound!"
After hearing Li Daoxuan's assurance, Empress Changsun's face turned slightly red.
After Li Shimin and others left, Li Daoxuan stepped on the auspicious clouds, flew into the sky, opened his eyebrows and looked down at the whole city, but found nothing.
The other party was obviously wary of his divine vision. Changle was probably not in the city.
Li Dao
…
After Li Zhenren and the emperor left, the people gradually dispersed.
Xuanzang followed the others and walked back.
"Little master, why don't you go find your elder brother?"
Xu Qingxuan turned around and asked.
Xuanzang shook his head and said: "Knowing that eldest brother is doing well, I feel relieved. If I go there now, it will only bring trouble to eldest brother."
He is smart and intelligent, and already understands what a heavy responsibility his eldest brother is shouldering now. The demon who incarnated as Buddha has not been eliminated. If he and his eldest brother recognize each other, the demon may threaten his eldest brother with his life.
He would not regret his own death, but if he harmed his eldest brother, he would have no choice but to die.
So he left here resolutely, only blessing silently in his heart.
Xu Qingxuan did not leave, but still stood quietly.
Yan Chixia was a little confused and said: "Master, aren't we leaving?"
"Walk?"
Xu Qingxuan glared at him angrily and said, "You don't even want the ancestor's divine sword back, so why take it away?"
Just as Yan Chixia was about to speak, she heard a clear voice.
"Senior Xu, I haven't seen you for a long time. Your style is even better than before. Even though you are stingy, you are still the same as before."
Li Daoxuan's figure fell from the clouds. He held the Wanren Divine Sword and handed it to Xu Qingxuan.
"It's only been a while since you've been on Didigu. Look at what you said. Am I, Li Daoxuan, the kind of person who never pays back a loan?"
Xu Qingxuan took the divine sword and cursed with a smile: "You kid is so great now. You are a majestic national master and a heavenly master of the Qianyuan Miao Dao, dragon and tiger, subduing demons. If you don't have any treasure, why should you be obsessed with this sword?"
Li Daoxuan laughed loudly and said: "Senior Xu, this sword may not be yours. We have made a ten-year agreement. When the time comes, I will compete with your disciple. If I win, this sword But it belongs to me.”
After a pause, he looked at the dumbfounded Yan Chixia, and said with a smile: "Brother Yan, I have admired you for a long time, please show mercy when the time comes."
Yan Chixia twisted her neck little by little, like a stiff stone statue.
He looked at Xu Qingxuan with an unbelievable look, as if he had been betrayed by the person closest to him.
"Master, that's not what you said when you accepted me as your disciple..."
"You said at that time that the one you would compete with me in the future would be just a... little Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain. He was only a half-way monk and had only practiced for two or three years..."
Xu Qingxuan avoided his apprentice's gaze and thought to himself, if I didn't say that, would you dare to accept me as your master?
"Master, I want to live..."
Yan Chixia's voice was full of grievances. This future world-famous swordsman had never felt so aggrieved and helpless, as if her life had suddenly become dull.
"Ahem, as the saying goes, thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west of the river, master believes in you!"
Xu Qingxuan tried his best to comfort his apprentice.
Yan Chixia let out a long sigh, walked over and took the Wanren Divine Sword from her master's hand, stroking it lovingly.
"Disciple, what are you doing?"
"Master, please let me touch it for a while longer. Maybe in the future... I won't be able to touch it anymore."
Xu Qingxuan: "..."
