More than a month has passed since the flood in Chang'an. During this period, under Li Shimin's command and dispatch, Chang'an City has recovered part of its vitality and regained some of its former prosperity.
In restaurants and teahouses, storytellers weave stories about the horrific flood, and the seats are always packed.
Merchants and tourists from other places did not believe it at first, but with the testimony of the people in Chang'an, they had no choice but to believe it. For a time, Qingyi Temple, Xuandu Temple and other places became popular places, with long queues lining up at the door just to get a stick. fragrant.
Not only did the Chang'an flood not fade away with the passage of time, but it became more and more heated and became the focus of discussion among the people after dinner.
It is said that there are still people who are collecting Li Daoxuan's deeds everywhere, hoping to write a biography and storybook about him.
It would be fine if it was just like this, but the three of them became a tiger. Under the divergent opinions, various absurd versions were developed and various conspiracy theories were spawned.
It wasn't until the imperial court issued a decree prohibiting gatherings of people to discuss the Chang'an flood that the heat of the matter subsided little by little. However, the people were still discussing one thing quietly, and that was where the Imperial Master had gone.
After the flood in Chang'an, the national preceptor Li Zhenren disappeared. Some people waited outside Xuandu Temple for half a month but never saw Li Zhenren.
Some people say that the Imperial Master was seriously injured and is in retreat, and some even say that the Imperial Master may have passed away.
After he killed the giant ape, he swallowed the thunderbolt, openly fought against the sky in order to protect Chang'an, and finally fled away. The place where his bones were buried was frosted in June, so there is still a thin layer of ice there that has not melted.
This statement is recognized by many people, because there was indeed a place in Chang'an City that was covered with frost, which was so hard that it took more than ten days to melt even under the scorching sun.
Although the imperial court issued an announcement saying that the imperial master was just recuperating in seclusion, it still couldn't stop people from panicking.
From praying for rain at the Dragon Gate to the evil Buddha entering the capital, and then killing the giant ape to suppress floods, in the eyes of many people, Li Daoxuan has become the patron saint of Chang'an. Only with the presence of the national master can Chang'an be worry-free.
If the Imperial Master passes away, and if there is another demonic chaos, who else can protect Chang'an?
Although things like this are very rare, since people have experienced it once, they will naturally be worried that something similar will happen again.
Only when you have scars will you remember the pain.
"I hope Zhenren Li can be released from confinement as soon as possible, otherwise I will always feel a little uneasy."
"Yes, there are more and more demons in this world now. Bad people patrol every day recently. Our place is pretty good. I heard that there is not even a single bad person in Xiazhou!"
"Speaking of which, I went hunting in the mountains before. When I was chasing hares, I accidentally entered a large lake and found that it was all frozen. It was even colder than an ice cellar!"
"Later I wanted to take a closer look, but before I could walk a few steps, I was stopped by the military master. It looked like they were dressed as forbidden soldiers, and I also saw some bad people. Their expressions were very solemn, and they had nothing. He kicked me out, and then I discovered that the trail for chasing rabbits was also blocked..."
In the restaurant, several hunters sat together and discussed. One of them told about his adventure yesterday, attracting many listeners.
He wanted to continue talking, but soon a police officer came over and took him into custody in public without saying a word. He also warned others not to continue talking nonsense, otherwise they would be invited to 'drink tea'.
For a while, the store was silent.
Some brave people quietly rushed to the mountain that Orion was talking about and watched from a distance, only to find that the entire mountain was surrounded by the Forbidden Army, and they could vaguely see bad guys patrolling around with magic weapons.
The security was so tight that even the birds in the sky were shot down with bows and arrows.
In addition, he also saw that it was clearly midsummer, but the military officers on duty were all wrapped in cotton-padded clothes, and the branches and leaves of some trees were still covered with frost. They didn't look like summer at all, as if they were still counting the winter.
…
In this strange mountain, there is a large frozen lake, which is about hundreds of feet across. It exudes an overwhelming cold air in the sun, freezing the surrounding vegetation into ice and withering.
There are five fire altars by the lake, arranged like stars, but no fire is lit.
A few feet away, there was a scholar in white living in a thatched hut. He was wearing a fox fur cloak, his long hair was combed meticulously, and there was no wrinkle or dust on his clothes.
At this moment, he was sitting upright, his back straight, and his long sleeve fingers were constantly fiddling with the bamboo arithmetic chips.
Astonishingly, it was Li Chunfeng, the eunuch Shi Ling of Qin Tian who had been released from seclusion.
He arranged his calculations of varying lengths into a very mysterious pattern, like an ancient formation.
As the plan was laid out, the five fire altars by the lake suddenly burst into flames, and the colors were different. They were white fire in the air, gray fire in the stone, cyan fire in the wood, purple samadhi fire, and red fire. of human fire.
The five fires gather together for Xuanyang!
After the Xuanyang Five Fire Formation was set up, the surrounding temperature rose rapidly, and the frozen lake began to slowly thaw. After a while, a kacha sound was heard, and cracks filled the air.
Then a figure surrounded by white light slowly flew out from the icy lake, wearing a long blue dress and holding a white umbrella, looking as cool as a picture.
If you look carefully, you can see that her beautiful face is covered with frost, and her three thousand black hairs are braving a chilling air.
Li Chunfeng immediately stood up and saluted to the other party.
Chen Ziyu didn't even look at him. She flew into the sky until she was above the sky. After the sun was hot, she threw out the white umbrella in her hand and turned it into a ninth-grade lotus. Then she sat on it and practiced cross-legged.
After reaching the Yang Shen realm, you can extract and refine the essence of the sun into medicine, which is ten times more effective than the moonlight.
After practicing for a while, the frost on Chen Ziyu's body gradually disappeared, and she flew back to the lake, preparing to continue entering the lake to clear the cold air for Li Daoxuan.
"Please stay!"
Li Chunfeng came over and bowed: "Fairy, may I ask how Brother Li is doing now?"
Chen Ziyu glanced at him and said calmly: "If you use your fire formation three more times, he will almost wake up."
When he heard that there would be three more times, Li Chunfeng's eyes narrowed. This formation consumes a lot of energy and mana. During this period, because of the frequent formations, he, a Yin Shen realm monk, actually contracted the cold and had to wear fox fur to keep out the cold.
But Li Chunfeng didn't complain, he just nodded and said: "Okay."
Chen Ziyu jumped into the lake. After the five fires were extinguished, the lake was quickly frozen again, and everything returned to normal.
A cold voice sounded from the bottom of the lake.
"I don't know what you are planning, but if anyone comes near here again, I will kill that person and then you!"
Li Chunfeng's face froze, then he coughed a few times, without any complaints, and continued to make plans.
He knew that the hardest person was not himself, but the goddess Xiaoxiang.
This fairy is using her divine body to help Brother Li share the terrible cold air. She first introduces the cold air into her body, and then uses the essence of the sun to dissipate it. The pain during this period is like an ice pick piercing the body. Three points into the bone.
His Xuanyang Five Fire Formation only plays a supporting role.
Li Chunfeng continued to fiddle with his calculations. After a while, a figure came over. He was tall and powerful, like a giant ape walking upright. He was none other than Wang Bo, the White Tiger Colonel among the bad guys.
He saluted Li Chunfeng and said: "Master Li, there are more and more evil monks near Chang'an, and there are already strong men in the Yin Shen realm!"
Li Chunfeng was not surprised, as if everything was expected.
"It's normal. They are just some profit-minded villains who want to reap the benefits. They are not sure about the life or death of the Imperial Master and dare not enter the city. However, they are greedy for Wuzhi Qi's body and the palace treasure trove, so they linger around. .”
The flood in Chang'an caused heavy casualties to both the bad guys and the common people. The dragon spirit was naturally much weakened. Coupled with the remains of Wuzhiqi, an ancient beast, it would naturally attract the attention of many evil monks.
Fortunately, after the disaster, Li Shimin commanded well and quickly provided disaster relief. In addition, Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang got out of the customs in time, set up defenses in Chang'an, and even killed those evil cultivators who dared to sneak into the capital, knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, so that order could be maintained.
"Oh, I don't know when the Imperial Master will wake up. If he is here, even if the evil five elders come, I'm afraid they won't dare to enter the city!"
Wang Bo sighed.
There is good and there is evil in this world, and heresy has been passed down since ancient times and has a profound foundation. In history, there were even people who tried to cultivate immortality through evil methods, such as the man-eating demon Zhu Can in the late Sui Dynasty.
He was originally a small official, but later he picked up an evil ancient book and practiced magic by devouring human flesh and blood. At first, he only ate it secretly for himself. After the rebellion, he stopped hiding it. He ate a lot, ate three women a day, and ordered The subordinates must also eat.
So wherever the army passed, the sky was filled with white bones and the ground was covered with red blood.
Later, he was intercepted by Li Shimin's team and beheaded in public. After Zhu Can died, the local people hated his cruelty and smashed his body with stones. After a while, his body was smashed and the stones piled up into a hill.
The skills of evil monks are often eccentric. For example, the "Immortal Eye Technique" practiced by Li Yuanji has 108 immortal eyes covering his whole body. It is difficult to guard against when fighting. It is very powerful, but very unstable and costly. .
Even so, many people who are thirsty for power still feverishly pursue those evil powers and continue to do so.
Among the many evil monks, there are five who are extremely talented and talented. They can achieve the realm of Yang Shen with their evil skills. They are called the Five Evil Elders. Each of them has magical powers. They appeared in the late Sui Dynasty and stirred up the situation.
It is said that the military advisor of Zhu Can, the man-eating demon king, is one of the Five Evil Elders.
After the world was stabilized, they hid and their whereabouts were uncertain. After all, evil could not suppress good. They were also worried that if they acted too much, they would be chased by those powerful Yang gods from Longhu Mountain, Maoshan, Laoshan and other major sects. kill.
Hearing Wang Bo's words, Li Chunfeng shook his head and said: "The imperial capital has been the burial ground of the Yang God since ancient times. Those five people have been hiding from the world for a long time. Even if they are greedy, they do not dare to take risks easily."
After a pause, he added: "But just in case, we really need to show the world a good show."
Wang Bo suddenly said: "So you asked us to let the hunter who accidentally broke in a few days ago, did you want to deliberately use his mouth to publicize this matter, so as to attract the attention of those evil people?"
"good."
Li Chunfeng calmly made his calculations and said, "Even the rabbit that led him here was transformed by my magic."
"Tomorrow is the time for Brother Li to leave confinement. When the time comes, I will have to borrow Brother Li's reputation. I hope Brother Li won't be surprised."
Wang Bo laughed and said: "Then you have to prepare a pot of good wine!"
The corners of Li Chunfeng's mouth raised slightly, but then he regained his composure and said calmly: "Okay, you go back first, and be careful not to disturb the person peeping outside the mountain. He is the evil spy."
"promise!"
After Wang Bo left, Li Chunfeng continued to play with the calculations quietly, until the last ray of the sun disappeared and the world was silent. The sound of the calculations was still faintly heard all night long.
…
The next day, noon.
Many monks have gathered outside the mountain, most of them are evil monks, but it is not ruled out that there are decent monks who hide their identities and have evil intentions.
They cast spells and either turned into rocks or vegetation. Some of the more daring ones turned into birds and tried to fly into the mountains, but they were almost shot into sieves.
In the end, the group of monks could only watch from a distance, trying to see whether Li Daoxuan was alive or dead.
At a quarter of noon, they finally discovered something unusual.
I saw five-colored fires appearing in the mountains, burning fiercely, and a large amount of white mist rising up, as if it wanted to steam up the white clouds.
Suddenly, a crisp sound of kacha sounded in their ears, and it continued to spread. It was the sound of the glacier thawing.
Wow!
The lake water churned, setting off layers of waves, and a figure flew out of the lake and stood tall in the sky.
He was wearing silver armor, with a handsome face, and there were still a few strands of frost on his dark cloak, fluttering in the wind.
The most eye-catching thing is the celestial eye between his eyebrows. It is golden and dazzling. It seems to have endless killing power. It is really majestic and cannot be looked at directly.
Someone shivered violently, and was surprised to realize that his hands and feet had become frosty at some point.
"It's Li Daoxuan, he's still alive!"
"What an amazing aura. Could it be that he has become a Yang God?"
"Even Yang Shen doesn't have such power!"
"No, run quickly, he's looking at us!"
"Damn it, you're so far away and you're still using the art of transformation, how can you still be discovered by him?"
…
In an instant, the group of monks who were peeping in the dark became confused and fled away into the distance like frightened birds.
In response, Li Daoxuan, who was stepping on the void, looked indifferent. He stretched out his hand and raised his palm, and dark clouds suddenly appeared in the sky, blocking the sun.
Then he put his hand and pressed it, and drops of rain fell down, hitting the monks.
Turning your hands over becomes clouds, turning over your hands becomes rain.
The rain was not heavy, just a drizzle. The monks who were rushing to escape couldn't help but wonder. Why was Li Daoxuan's move louder than thunder? Could this person be a fake?
Or is he actually seriously injured now and is just at the end of his strength?
But they soon discovered that they were completely wrong, because all the monks who had been exposed to the rain began to freeze without exception. Neither the Bigu Realm nor the Yin Shen Realm could stop the bone-chilling cold.
It was as if even the soul was frozen.
In order to get out of trouble, some people even burned themselves with flames, but to his despair, even the extremely high-temperature spiritual fire was frozen in the air.
Fire turns to ice!
They wanted to beg for mercy, but it was too late because their mouths were completely speechless.
At this moment, their eyes were filled with regret. People died for money and birds died for food. If they hadn't been greedy, how could they provoke such a terrifying enemy like Li Daoxuan?
If God could give them another chance, they would definitely not come to the capital again, and would even stay away as soon as they heard the words Li Daoxuan.
But unfortunately, there is no if in this world.
…
On the mountain, Wang Bo stared blankly at the scene in the distance. Not only him, but also the bad guys and the imperial guards were dumbfounded, looking at the figure in the sky with a mixture of awe and fear.
Even Li Chunfeng, who was usually calm, was a little distracted.
More than thirty evil cultivators in the Bigu Realm and seven Yin Shen Realm monks were all turned into ice at this moment. They still maintained the posture when they fled, and even retained the panic and regret in their eyes.
It's like a lifelike feast of ice.
