Spring grass stretches all over the sky as you look north, and the setting sun floats on the water and flows eastward.
Dusk is approaching.
A man and woman are walking in the city of Chang'an. The man is tall and straight, handsome in white clothes, and the woman is graceful and graceful, with a green skirt like clouds. They walk side by side, like a pair of beautiful women.
It's a pity that the man was holding an oil-paper umbrella, covering most of their faces, otherwise the number of people turning around would have increased a lot again.
Although Chen Ziyu is no longer afraid of the sun, perhaps her experience as a ghost made her not like the sun, so Li Daoxuan held an umbrella for her and took her to visit Chang'an City and to Qingyi Temple at the same time.
Looking at the people coming and going around and the renovated and rebuilt pavilions, Li Daoxuan couldn't help but feel a trace of emotion in his eyes.
It seems that not long ago, he took another woman to visit Chang'an, and now he brings another woman, who is also the other woman's apprentice...
But to be honest, the fragrance on Jade Sister's body is somewhat similar to that of the Empress in Tsing Yi. They are both the fragrance of lotus flowers, but Jade Sister's is more bland, like the core of a flower that has just bloomed, while the Empress is more fragrant.
I can only say that he is worthy of being a master and disciple...
The two walked through a place and found that there were three stone statues. In the middle was a heroic man with flying hair and electric light all over his body. He was dressed in silver armor, his eyes were firm, and the divine eyes between his eyebrows were looking towards the sky. , full of unyielding fighting spirit.
It is the scene where Li Daoxuan, after killing Wuzhiqi with the help of heavenly phenomena, swallowed the thunder without fear of heavenly punishment.
There are many flowers and offerings in front of the statue.
Some people knelt down devoutly and said sadly: "Zhenren Li, although you have passed away, you will always live in our hearts!"
"In the Tang Dynasty, I will never find a good national teacher like you again!"
"Have a good trip, Imperial Master!"
…
Li Daoxuan's face darkened. What do you mean I'm dead?
Chen Ziyu's eyes were slightly cold, her hair was flowing, and she said coldly: "I'll send them to the Green Underworld."
Li Daoxuan was so frightened that he quickly held her hand and said, "No, they just don't understand. The starting point is still good."
Li Daoxuan stared at the statue with a solemn look.
At that time, his blood was boiling, and he pierced Wuzhiqi's heart with a sword without thinking much. He didn't care about the so-called punishment from heaven. Thinking about it now, I'm afraid that punishment has already begun.
After killing Wuzhiqi, he obtained the Xuanming True Water, but because of his carelessness, he took out the reward before reaching the Yangshen realm. As a result, he almost died. Even if he survived, his immortal path was blocked and he was temporarily unable to break through to the Yangshen realm. .
If he could have been calmer and thought more at that time, he might have been able to avoid this outcome.
After all, when he awakened Erlang Zhenjun to open the eyes of the sky, he had suffered severe pain. If the master had not been there to protect him, he might have been in danger of his life.
Logically speaking, a cautious person like him should not forget the lessons learned, but Li Daoxuan just forgot.
It was as if there was an invisible force that quietly blinded his spiritual sense, causing misfortunes and blessings to suddenly come and change in an instant.
Li Daoxuan vaguely felt that this might be heaven's punishment for killing Wuzhi Qi, so Li Chunfeng looked at each other and said that there was black energy condensing in his Yintang.
No wonder Dayu didn't kill Wuzhi Qi...
Li Daoxuan shook his head. He did not regret the act of killing Wuzhiqi, but he needed to be more careful when doing things in the future.
"Water Goddess, please bless you for good weather this year and prevent any more natural disasters!"
Next to the statue of Li Daoxuan, there are two statues, one is Mr. Guan standing on horseback with a sword drawn, and the other is a graceful woman walking alone with an umbrella, with fluttering black hair and a cold and mysterious back.
It was Chen Ziyu.
When she entered Chang'an, she walked across the water and rescued some people. However, she ignored those people's further requests and went straight to help Li Daoxuan.
From the beginning to the end, she never looked directly at those people, so many people only saw a beautiful back shrouded in divine glory.
Despite this, she is now extremely popular in Chang'an. Many people call her the Water Goddess and worship her devoutly every day.
Even though she never answered the prayers of any believers, she was still sought after by countless people and regarded as a goddess.
"Sister Yu, these people can be considered your first followers. I think they are quite pious. Why are you ignoring them?"
Li Dao
For most gods, such devout believers are still relatively precious.
Chen Ziyu frowned slightly and said with some confusion: "What do they have to do with me if they worship me?"
Li Daoxuan was stunned for a moment and wanted to refute, but felt that he had nothing to say.
Well, this is indeed Sister Yu’s temperament, and it sounds quite reasonable.
If all living beings worship me, what does that have to do with me?
Could it be that just because all living beings worship me, I have to work hard for those strangers, even sacrificing my own interests?
Thinking about it this way, Li Daoxuan felt that Sister Yu might not be suitable for following the divine way, but was more suitable for following the immortal way.
Immortals, what they seek is freedom and detachment, to get rid of the world and the shackles of life and death, to swim in the world, do whatever they want, to jump out of the Three Realms, not in the Five Elements!
"It's the last one of candied haws, so I'm selling it cheaply!"
A middle-aged man walked by carrying candied haws on his shoulders, with only the last one left, reflecting an alluring luster in the setting sun.
Chen Ziyu's eyes were immediately attracted, and slowly moved along with the candied haws.
She didn't speak, just tugged on Li Daoxuan's sleeve.
Li Daoxuan shook his head and laughed, what a god, Sister Yu is still Sister Yu, she just has an innocent heart.
When he was in Qingyang County, he used a few candied haws to deceive Sister Yu into trusting her, and then gradually narrowed the distance between them.
"Want to eat?"
"Um."
"But I don't seem to have any money."
Chen Ziyu looked around after hearing this, and finally stopped at the statue of Li Daoxuan. The eyes were made of brass and looked more valuable.
Li Daoxuan coughed quickly and said: "Take it, take it, sister Yu, please don't be impulsive!"
After a while, Chen Ziyu held the candied haws in hand and walked away with Li Daoxuan.
At this time, a woman who had just kowtowed to the Water Goddess raised her head. She stood up and was about to leave, but her eyes suddenly stopped and she stared blankly at the back of the woman in the distance.
Wearing a green skirt, her hair is like a waterfall, and her figure is slender and graceful.
"It's like...it really seems like..."
It wasn't until her friend patted her shoulder that she woke up from a dream. When she came back to her senses, she found that the figure had disappeared.
"What’s wrong with you?"
The friend expressed concern.
"I seem to...see the Water Goddess!"
"Ah? Really? Where is the Water Goddess?"
the friend said excitedly.
"I must have made a mistake. Why is there a man next to the queen?"
"And it seems... seems to be very close."
The friend was disappointed and said: "That is definitely not the Water Goddess. I heard that the Queen is the Xiaoxiang Water God. She is the most pure and pure. How can any man in the world be worthy of her?"
"Do you think any man is Mr. Li?"
…
The Tsing Yi Empress was canonized as the Heavenly Mother of the Tang Dynasty, the Nine Heavens Xuanyin Tsing Yi Holy Empress. Her temple was built in the East Market, where every inch of land was precious, close to Zhuque Street and opposite the Xuandu Temple.
Today, the most popular ones in Chang'an City are Qingyi Temple and Xuandu Temple.
People who go to Xuandu Temple are drunkards who care about Li Daoxuan instead of drinking. People who go to Qingyi Temple are generally followers of the Qingyi Empress.
The floods ravaged Chang'an and destroyed many high-rise buildings, but they avoided the Qingyi Temple, and not even a drop of water entered the Qingyi Temple.
During the flood, this Qingyi Temple protected many people. Such a miracle would naturally be worshiped by people. For a time, the incense was booming, even more so than that of Xuandu Temple.
Some people even said that the goddess who helped the imperial master kill the giant ape was sent by the Empress in Tsing Yi.
Therefore, whether they are local residents of Chang'an City, tourists or businessmen from other places, or even students who come to Beijing to take exams, they all want to go to Qingyi Temple to offer incense and petition.
The originally quiet temple now has endless queues.
In order to maintain order, Li Shimin even sent the Forbidden Army and bad guys here, for fear that someone would bump into the Queen in Tsing Yi.
So when Li Daoxuan and Chen Ziyu arrived at the Tsing Yi Temple, even though it was getting late, they still saw a long dragon. There was a lot of incense in the temple, and wisps of smoke enveloped the roof, like clouds under the setting sun.
This sight undoubtedly attracted more people, and they preferred to wait until the curfew before leaving.
When Li Daoxuan and Chen Ziyu came, they looked at them one after another.
The key point is to look at Chen Ziyu, there is no way, her figure and temperament are too eye-catching, Xiaoxiang goddess, lotus body, even if her appearance is deliberately blocked by an oil-paper umbrella, many people are amazed.
Li Daoxuan is holding a lotus green umbrella, hanging down wisps of invisible magic power, which can make ordinary people unable to see their appearance.
He pulled Chen Ziyu, who had already finished eating the candied haws, and walked straight to the temple.
"Hey, why don't you line up?"
"That's right, this is the Qingyi Temple, be careful of the empress getting blamed!"
"I'm talking to you, didn't you hear me?"
…
Li Daoxuan coughed, looking a little embarrassed. The lotus green umbrella in his hand dropped a little more, and he accelerated towards the temple.
"stop!"
The bad guy on duty at the temple gate stood in front of them and said in a deep voice: "No matter which family you are, young master or young lady, this is the Qingyi Temple, how can we tolerate you and others——"
Li Daoxuan slowly raised his umbrella and removed the mana's obstruction.
This delinquent with a slightly immature appearance looks to be only in his twenties, but his eyes are very determined and piercing.
But when he saw Li Daoxuan's face, his whole body was shaken, and a certain light seemed to light up in his eyes, making him very excited.
"country--"
"Shh!"
Li Daoxuan made a silence gesture to him, indicating that he should keep quiet.
"I have something important to go to see the Queen in Tsing Yi, so I have to jump in line. Please close the doors and windows later and don't let anyone in."
After hearing this, the young delinquent stood up straight, cupped his fists and said, "No!"
He looked at Li Daoxuan with admiration and excitement at the same time.
Not only because he met his most admired Imperial Master, but also because there were many rumors saying that the Imperial Master was seriously injured or even passed away.
For this reason, he also fought with others.
Now that he was fine, when he saw the unharmed and energetic Imperial Master appearing in front of him, those rumors were self-defeating.
The Imperial Master was not injured, nor did he die. He was still guarding Chang'an!
"By the way, don't tell anyone about your meeting with me."
After saying these words, Li Daoxuan took Chen Ziyu into the temple.
The next moment, the originally open door was quickly closed. The young delinquent pressed the hilt of the knife at his waist and stood outside the door majestically, staring at anyone who dared to approach with bright eyes.
At this time, he seemed to have some lofty sense of mission. Even if he risked his life, he would never let anyone enter the temple and disturb the national master.
"What's going on? Why is the door closed?"
"Master, who was that person just now? How could he not wait in line?"
"Yes, sir, this is so unfair!"
The young delinquent smiled proudly and said, "It would be really unfair if even he had to queue up."
As a bad person, he is very aware of the contribution that the Imperial Preceptor has made to Chang'an. As a practitioner, he is even more aware of the huge risks that the Imperial Preceptor took when he killed Wuzhi Qi.
"Dayu doesn't dare to kill you, I dare!"
"Heaven won't let you die, I will!"
Such powerful words made the young man's blood boil and his soul stirred. That night he looked up at the figure who was several hundred feet tall and pierced Wuzhiqi's heart with a sword amidst the thunder and lightning. There seemed to be some kind of power stirring in his heart.
After that, National Master Li Zhenren was the person he admired most.
…
The Tsing Yi Temple is very quiet, the decoration is simple and elegant, not grand, it looks very clean and tidy, and is filled with rich sandalwood.
The statue of the empress in green stands quietly on the shrine, sacred and solemn, compassionate and holy, looking at the skylark in the palm of her hand, her expression is lifelike and very touching.
As a practitioner, even if he didn't open his eyes, he could still see the amazing power of incense gathered around the statue.
When ordinary people see this statue, they will only feel it is sacred and solemn, and they will not dare to have any blasphemous thoughts.
In the eyes of cultivators, this statue is always glowing, with lifelike features and eyes, as if it will come to life in the next moment. This is because the incense is too strong, causing all kinds of miraculous effects on the statue.
There are many abandoned or declining temples among the people. Sometimes when people enter, they will feel inexplicably cold, and they may even feel a chill on their backs. People with higher spiritual awareness may also feel that they are being stared at by the statues of gods all the time. I had goosebumps all over my body.
This is because those temples were once glorious, and the statues absorbed a lot of incense, so they had some magical properties.
Looking at the statue of the Queen in Tsing Yi, Li Daoxuan subconsciously let go of Sister Yu's hand.
I feel really guilty.
You know, he just held his empress’s hand not long ago, and now he’s holding her apprentice’s hand, and he even kissed her just now…
Master and disciple were about to meet, and Li Daoxuan's heartbeat was a little fast for some reason.
Chen Ziyu tilted her head, looked at him with some confusion, took the initiative to hold his hand, and said: "Don't you have a very good relationship with my master? Why are you still nervous?"
Li Daoxuan showed a wry smile, which was good, but the problem was that it was too good.
At this moment, the crisp sound of birdsong sounded.
The skylark in the hand of the statue came to life first, its stone body shattered, revealing its brown feathers, and it fluttered its wings and flew very happily.
"Haha, this fairy can finally come out and play for a while!"
"Li Daoxuan, my queen asked me to tell you that she is refining the elixir and will be fine soon. She asked you to wait -"
The chirping voice of the little bird suddenly stopped because it saw the hands held by Li Daoxuan and Chen Ziyu.
The little eyes suddenly became big and round, full of shock.
"You... you..."
It had seen Li Daoxuan holding hands with the empress, and now it saw the disciple of the empress, the saint from the Qingming Realm, holding hands with Li Daoxuan. It was suddenly shocked like a thunderbolt.
His already small mind became even more confused, and he looked confused.
Intuition told it that it seemed to have seen something even more remarkable.
"Li Daoxuan, I, I will fight with you!"
There was only one sentence left in Xiao Que'er's mind at this moment.
Li Daoxuan betrayed his empress!
"I'll peck you to death!"
It flew towards Li Daoxuan and wanted to scratch Li Daoxuan with its beak, but Li Daoxuan grabbed his neck with his backhand.
"Fa Tian...Xiang Di!"
Little Queer used his special skills and his body kept getting bigger.
But it soon discovered that no matter how big it became, it could not escape Li Daoxuan's palm. As it grew larger, Li Daoxuan's palm seemed to grow larger, as if the universe was boundless.
Tiangang's great magical power, move stars and change fights!
Li Daoxuan's gaze was as deep as the stars, he lowered his eyes and looked at the desperate little Que'er, and said with a smile: "Little Que'er, are you convinced or not?"
The little bird was dejected, even the dull hair on its head was listless.
The little Taoist priest who called him Bird Fairy and dug worms for him back then has become so powerful now, as unpredictable as the empress.
At this time, Chen Ziyu's voice sounded faintly.
"How about baking it?"
The little bird was shaken and trembling.
Holy girl, how can you be so heartless? You know, when you were in the lotus, I often talked to you to relieve your boredom...
"Don't scare it anymore."
Just when the little bird was about to cry, a warm and clear voice sounded, making people subconsciously feel close to her.
In the haziness, a vast power came out of thin air, lenient, calm, vast and compassionate, like the boundless starry sky and the vast universe.
The empress in blue is here.
