Chang Le rubbed his head, stretched his long sleeves, and floated lightly, landing next to Li Daoxuan like a butterfly. When he smelled the familiar smell of his master, his eyes turned into crescent moons with smiles.
"Master, you are finally out of seclusion. During this period, Changle has been cultivating according to your instructions. How about my magical power of wood escape just now?"
The girl is beginning to grow up, her eyebrows are gradually opening, her slender body has become slimmer, her skin is whiter than jade, and she exudes the aura of youth.
Just like the budding flowers in the royal garden.
Princess Li Lizhi of Changle was originally a beautiful woman in history. Now she has practiced Taoism with Li Daoxuan and embarked on the path to immortality. Her appearance and temperament have become even more outstanding. At the age of only fourteen, she has already made a splash in Chang'an.
According to the original historical trajectory, Changle would marry Changsun Wuji's eldest son Changsun Chong this year and become the daughter-in-law of Changsun's family. Then he died in the 17th year of Zhenguan, and his beauty was ill-fated.
But in this life, her destiny has undoubtedly undergone earth-shaking changes.
Changsun Chong still admired her endlessly and asked his father to propose marriage to the emperor, but Li Shimin did not agree because Changle was not only his daughter, but also Li Daoxuan's only disciple.
At that time, Li Daoxuan was in retreat, so he made a special trip to Changsun's house for a cup of tea.
After that, Changsun's family was closed for three days. Some people said they heard Changsun Chong crying, saying, "Dad, I don't dare to do it anymore, don't slap me..."
"Master?"
Chang Le stood on tiptoes, waved his hand in front of Li Daoxuan's eyes, and said softly: "Master, why are you so distracted when you are talking to me? Do you think you don't miss me at all after not seeing Chang Le for so long?"
Li Dao
In the past five years, Changle has practiced diligently. He is now in the late stage of Bigu, and is only one step away from the Yin Shen realm.
In terms of magical powers, she majored in the Great Five Elements Escape Technique and Ziwei Dou Shu, and made rapid progress. However, she was naturally interested in flowers, plants and trees, and was seriously partial to the Five Elements Technique.
The wooden row stands out.
"Master, I don't like fighting skills anyway. Mu Xing is enough. Besides, Master, the Ziwei Dou Shu you taught me is really powerful. I just used it to calculate that you would pass by the Imperial Garden!"
Li Daoxuan thought of what happened to Luohan Luohan, and said in a solemn voice: "Changle, Ziwei Dou Shu can calculate the secrets of heaven, but remember not to try to tamper with the destiny or reveal the secrets of heaven, otherwise Huiji will be injured, and even the teacher will not be able to save him. you."
Changle nodded and smiled: "Master, you have said this several times. I learned this technique just for fun. Sometimes I can't find something. I can just pinch it and know where it is. How useful it is!"
"As for fate ordained by fate, I don't care about it."
Her original intention of learning Ziwei Dou Shu was simply that it was fun. Those Yi Li hexagrams had a unique beauty, and she would feel an inexplicable sense of accomplishment after solving them.
Li Daoxuan was still a little worried. After thinking about it, he took out something from the Three Realms Gourd.
It was a small piece of tortoise shell.
There are ancient patterns on the tortoise shell, and it is filled with light cyan luster. At first glance, it does not seem to have much mystery, but if you look closely, you will find that the pattern on the tortoise shell seems to be moving.
Like stars and rivers flowing, yin and yang blending together, it contains infinite mysteries.
Changle stared blankly at this small piece of tortoise shell and asked, "Master, what is this?"
She vaguely felt that this thing was related to Yili destiny. Some of the patterns seemed to have been seen in Ziwei Dou number, but they seemed more broad and vast.
She tried to use the formulas in Ziwei Dou Shu to analyze the patterns on the tortoise shell, but after only counting a few furs, she felt dizzy and in a daze.
"Can't figure it out, can't figure it out at all..."
Seeing his apprentice trying to analyze the tortoise shell, Li Daoxuan shook his head and said with a smile: "You, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers."
After a pause, he said: "This thing is a fragment of Luo Shu. Although it only has a corner, it is so profound and profound that you can't understand it."
Chang Le was refreshed. As a practitioner of Zi Wei Dou Shu, she naturally knew the name of Luo Shu!
According to legend, in ancient times, a dragon and horse emerged from the Yellow River, carrying a map of the river on its back and offering it to Fuxi. Fuxi developed the Bagua according to this. During the reign of Dayu, a divine turtle appeared in the Luo River again, carrying the Book of Luo on its back. Dayu relied on this to successfully control the water. Then the world was divided into Kyushu.
"Book of Changes" says: "The river produces pictures, the Luo produces books, and the sages follow them."
Hetu Luoshu is known as the source of Yin Yang and Five Elements magic in Chinese culture.
"This...is this Luo Shu?"
Changle touched the pattern on the tortoise shell with his hand, and felt a coldness coming over him, as if he was in an ancient glacier world.
"It's just a fragment of Luo Shu."
Li Dao It’s very hard and you can use it as a shield when it gets bigger.”
This is the heavenly book reward he received after shooting the turtle demon, the Luoshu fragment.
If it were a complete Luoshu, it would be a treasure to Li Daoxuan, but if it was just a fragment, it wouldn't be of much use, so he could simply give it to his apprentice to help him practice.
Changle held this small piece of tortoise shell carefully, his eyes were bright and he was very happy.
When her fingers touched the broken part of the tortoise shell, her eyes showed distress and said: "Master, how could such a treasure become fragments?"
Li Daoxuan was silent for a moment, or in other words, he could not answer this question.
Hetu Luoshu is the source of Yin Yang and Five Elements magic. Even figures like Fu Xi and Dayu were inspired by them. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most precious treasure of heaven and earth. Especially Gui Luo Shu is imprinted on the back of the divine turtle. Known for its toughness.
But now it is in pieces.
He stared at this ancient tortoise shell, as if he wanted to see through the mottled lines some secret hidden in the long river of time.
"Thank you Master, Changle also has something to give to Master!"
She fondly touched the tortoise shell for a while, then put it away close to her body, and then poured out a basket of nectar cakes from the storage pouch around her waist.
With a roll of his eyes, Changle used his magical power of wood, and suddenly flowers and vines entangled themselves into a wicker chair.
She took the master's hand and asked him to sit on the wicker chair.
"Master, I calculated that you were about to leave seclusion, so I picked nine kinds of spiritual flowers in the imperial garden, combined them with the water of the first snow, the morning dew of autumn, and Huanglong honey from the depths of the Qinling Mountains to make this specially for you. Nectar cake!”
She personally picked up the pastry and handed it to the master.
The glutton in Li Daoxuan's stomach immediately screamed, and he took a bite. It was really soft and sweet, melting in his mouth, and leaving an endless aftertaste.
I have to say that Changle’s pastry-making skills are becoming more and more outstanding.
The little flower god also smelled the aroma, got up while half asleep, and ate the cake with her eyes closed. It was so delicious that her little feet stood up.
Chang Le rolled his eyes and wondered what kind of evil idea he had in mind.
She stood behind the master and stretched out her hands to massage the master's neck. The technique was quite skillful and made Li Daoxuan feel very comfortable.
"Master, this massage technique belongs to my disciple He Taiyi. It is said that it was passed down from the king of medicine, Sun Simiao."
After a pause, she murmured: "In order to practice this technique, I often experimented with my father."
Li Dao
Chang Le chuckled and said, "Master, are you still in retreat this time?"
"I won't be in seclusion for the time being. I'm going to Dengzhou as a teacher."
Changle's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Master, can you take me with you?"
The trip to Luoyang that year made her unforgettable for a long time. After seeing the outside world, no matter how big the palace was or how prosperous Chang'an was, it was always a bit boring.
Moreover, Changle has always been worried about one thing. When his master fought with Moro in Luoyang, he fell asleep in a cave. He was really ashamed.
Now that she is successful in cultivation and can also divine secrets, she can always help the master.
Li Daoxuan did not agree to her this time.
"The situation in Dengzhou is treacherous. You are about to break through to the Yin Shen Realm. It is not appropriate to go to dangerous places."
"Master~"
"no."
"Master, please~"
The eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty, who was known for her nobility and elegance, grabbed her master's clothes and looked pitiful. Even her voice was delicate.
"Or not."
Li Daoxuan's voice was firm and not loose at all.
He stuffed the remaining nectar cake into the little flower god's mouth, and then tapped Chang Le's forehead.
"Practice well, and when my master comes back from Dengzhou, I will protect you and break through to the Yin Shen realm."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Daoxuan's figure became fainter and fainter, and finally disappeared, as if he had never appeared in the imperial garden.
Changle sat on a wicker chair, swinging his slender calves, swinging his embroidered shoes under his neon skirt, kicking the air from time to time, and mumbling something.
"Master must be planning to go to Dengzhou with his wife. He feels that I am annoying around him, hum~~"
"But Master Ziyu is so beautiful..."
In the imperial garden, the little girl sat on a wicker chair, dragging her white chin, looking at the white clouds in the sky, not knowing what she was thinking.
After thinking for a long time, she suddenly smiled and clapped her hands together, as if she had come up with some brilliant idea.
…
In the royal court of the Turks, in the golden tent of Jieli Khan.
boom!
Jieli Khan threw down the golden cup filled with fine wine in his hand and said to the envoy returning from Tibet: "Did Nangri Songtsen really say that?"
"Khan, it's absolutely true, my subordinates have heard it with their own ears!"
"At that time, my subordinates were on an envoy to Tibet. They spent a lot of time and took out the amulets prepared by the high priest. Finally, they persuaded Nangri Songtsen and he decided to cooperate with us in sending troops to attack the Tang Dynasty!"
"But who knew that at this critical moment, Li Daoxuan, the Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty, came out of seclusion, and shot one arrow after another..."
The envoy looked at Jieli Khan's increasingly ugly face, and finally did not continue.
A hundred thousand troops marched out to conquer the Yin Mountains, and they were bound to win. However, the Tang Dynasty Imperial Master, who had not made a move for five years, shot an arrow in Chang'an City and flew thousands of miles across the Yin Mountains in an instant, causing the hundred thousand troops to return without success!
This method is really incredible and shocking.
After Nangri Songtsen, who had promised to send troops, received the news, he immediately regretted it, threw the high priest's amulet in his face, and cursed him.
They said that their high priest almost died at the hands of Li Daoxuan. How could a mere talisman protect the Tubo royal family?
Thousands of miles apart, Li Daoxuan could kill the Turkic Yangshen demon with one arrow. If they and Tubo angered each other, and Li Daoxuan shot ten or eight arrows in Chang'an, what would they do to stop him?
The envoy felt that the way Nangri Songtsan looked at him was wrong. If he had not made a decisive decision and escaped from Tubo overnight, he might have been kidnapped by Nangri Songtsan and given to the Tang Dynasty.
"Khan, calm down. It seems that Nangri Songtsen has been frightened by Li Daoxuan. It may be impossible to get Tibet to send troops."
The high priest stepped forward and sighed.
Jieli Khan snorted coldly and said: "High Priest, you kept saying before that you were guided by the gods and your strength has improved by leaps and bounds. As long as Li Daoxuan dares to leave Chang'an City, you can kill him. What now?"
There was some embarrassment on the face of the high priest. His strength had skyrocketed before and he thought he was invincible. Even Li Daoxuan would never be his opponent without relying on Chang'an City's great formation.
However, that arrow completely shattered his confidence.
Seeing that the high priest remained silent, Jieli Khan continued: "When will your so-called god wake up?"
"Khan, we are almost there. We only have to find the last bronze box to completely awaken the gods. By then, even if Li Daoxuan becomes an immortal, it will not help!"
"That's nice. Where's the last box?"
The high priest smiled slightly and said: "The whereabouts have been found, and he is in Dengzhou of the Tang Dynasty."
…
Xuandu courtyard.
Li Daoxuan counted the time with his fingers, she should be almost there.
After a while, the clear sky suddenly darkened, layers of clouds appeared, and then a drizzle of rain fell, pouring on the city of Chang'an.
The mist is hazy and the rain falls like crisp.
The entire city of Chang'an seemed to have turned into misty rain in Jiangnan.
The Hidden Dragons practicing cross-legged in the courtyard opened their eyes at the same time. Unlike ordinary people, they could detect that the sudden drizzle was not natural, but contained a trace of Shinto rules.
This is when a powerful Shinto figure arrived in Chang'an. The heaven and earth felt it, and visions appeared, and the clouds and rain moved for him.
As for who this powerful Shinto figure is, they naturally know it very well. Whenever the national master leaves the country, that person always comes as scheduled and never changes.
They all looked at their national master, only to find that the national master had disappeared.
Wu Wei was full of envy and said: "The Imperial Master is really lucky to be favored by a goddess. I took a quick look at it by the lake in Seoul before, and I was so shocked!"
That is a beauty that even Junior Sister Taiwei cannot match.
Lou Ling said calmly: "How can a person like the Imperial Master be fooled by mere appearance? Don't think that everyone is the same as you."
"You female ice cube..."
Wu Wei murmured in a low voice. When he saw Lou Ling silently taking off the golden bow and wiping it, he was suddenly shocked and hurriedly hid behind Wang Bo.
Wang Bo sighed: "If you ask me, it's better to find a woman with big shoulders and a round waist. It's better to have some muscles, so that when you have nothing to do, you can also practice martial arts and fight hand-to-hand."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.
Wu Wei silently moved away from him. Did this guy train his muscles in his head?
"God of Cookery, what kind of woman do you like?"
Wu Wei suddenly asked.
Lu Chunliang coughed, glanced at Lou Ling from the corner of his eye, and then said: "Can cook, gentle, family-oriented, virtuous..."
Whoosh!
Lou Ling practiced archery, and one arrow penetrated the bull's-eye. The arrow was deeply nailed into the wall, and its tail trembled.
Lu Chunliang subconsciously sat up straight and stammered: "These... are my advantages. As for women... it's good if they can fight..."
Wu Wei was sour and contemptuous, and then looked at Xiao Tian, who was floating freely in the pool like a dead body.
"Woof woof, I only like dogs!"
"What if I wait for you to transform?"
Xiaotian thought about it seriously and said, "Then I still like dogs!"
Wu Wei, Wang Bo and Lu Chunliang looked at each other, as if they had thought of some kind of scene, and silently moved away from Xiaotian...
Chang'an, Hancheng Lake.
In the hazy mist, a figure walks across the water, holding an oil-paper umbrella in her slender hands, her gorgeous long skirt dragging on the water, and her golden gauze ribbon surging like water.
Just like Cao Zijian's poem in "Luo Shen Fu".
The body is fast and flying, erratic like a god, walking slightly on the waves, and the socks are dusty.
