In just half a day, Changle flew to central Hunan and came to the south of Dongting Lake, where he saw the endlessly flowing, mist-shrouded Xiangjiang River.
The rich power of water fills the space between the sky and the earth. Looking from a distance, it is really sparkling, steaming clouds, and beautiful.
Changle flew down from the clouds and returned to his original appearance, standing pretty by the river.
The willow branch in her arms trembled slightly, reminding her that there seemed to be someone in the river that she couldn't mess with.
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that the moment she stepped into the Xiaoxiang water vein, she had a creepy feeling.
It was as if there was an eye in the sky staring at her.
There is a goddess temple by the river. The incense is very popular. Many people kneel down and pray in the temple.
Changle listened for a while and found that they were all prayers for rain.
She was wondering in her heart, Master Ziyu was the goddess of Xiaoxiang, and wherever she went, there was always wind and rain. How could there be a lack of rain in her dojo?
And if it is a drought, then why is the Xiaoxiang water vein still magnificent?
Without thinking much, she silently recited the water-avoiding spell and jumped directly into the river without causing a single splash.
The body sank rapidly, and with the blessing of the water-avoiding spell, although Changle's clothes and hair were fluttering in the water, there was no trace of moisture.
She can even breathe freely in the water.
The water in the Xiangjiang River was deep, and it took her a long time to reach the bottom. Her feet stepped on the mud, but she didn't leave a trace.
The surroundings were pitch black, the light was very weak, and it was very quiet. There were faint water plants floating around, like ghostly shadows, which was frightening.
Changle was a little scared when she entered the water for the first time, but she soon stabilized herself, and then followed her master's instructions to step on the gang and step on the seven stars.
After walking three times forward and backward, her figure suddenly disappeared, the bottom of the water rippled slightly, and then fell into silence again.
When Changle opened his eyes again, the scene in front of him was completely different.
I saw a splendid crystal palace looming not far away, surrounded by fairy light, breathing out fresh air, and surrounded by gorgeous golden lotuses swaying.
Even though Chang Le was a human princess, she had never seen such a beautiful palace, and she couldn't help but widen her eyes slightly.
Is this... the master's wife's residence?
This is... so beautiful!
For a moment, Changle became even more looking forward to the teacher's wife who was about to meet him.
Over the years, every time Master was out of confinement, Master Ziyu would come to the capital to meet her, and the weather was always windy and rainy, but every time Master kept things so mysterious that she had never really seen Master.
I only heard Hidden Dragon's Dian Mu say that she was a very beautiful woman.
The Crystal Palace is very large, and there are shrimp soldiers and crab generals patrolling around it. It looks like the legendary Dragon Palace, but there are three big Chinese characters written on the plaque, which is quite Taoist.
Yuxuan Palace!
Changle recognized it immediately, it was Master's calligraphy.
"Hey, little girl, if you want to enter Yuxuan Palace, you have to queue up, so don't break the rules."
Just when Changle was about to go in, a voice sounded from behind her, low, deep, and very thick.
She turned around and saw that it was an old turtle!
The old turtle's back was covered with green moss, and it looked like a big stone that had been washed away by time, so much so that Chang Le didn't notice it.
"Yes, everyone wants to enter Yuxuan Palace, why can you jump in the queue?"
A small snake emerged from the soil. Surprisingly, this snake turned out to be colorful and shiny, and looked very extraordinary.
"Those who didn't want to queue up because of their cultivation were all slapped to death by the goddess. Little baby, why do you want to seek death for someone with such delicate skin and tender flesh?"
A crocodile emerged. Its skin looked as hard as stone and was covered with water plants.
"Little doll, if you really don't want to live anymore, you might as well let me eat..."
Suddenly, there was a commotion under the originally pure water, and many pairs of eyes appeared, staring at Chang Le, either longingly, sizing up, angry, or dull.
Changle's scalp was numb. She didn't expect that there were so many monsters here!
"I'm here to beg the goddess, but I can't be eaten by you!"
Changle shook his head repeatedly.
Hearing this, the old turtle took a step forward, blocked the sight of those monsters in front of Chang Le, and advised: "Little baby, you go quickly, it is extremely difficult to enter Yuxuan Palace, let alone Are you meeting the goddess?"
Changle felt its kindness and couldn't help but ask: "Grandpa Turtle, is it difficult to see the goddess?"
The old turtle sighed: "That's natural. The goddess is in charge of three thousand miles of Xiaoxiang water veins. Her cultivation is as high as the sky. The Yuxuan Palace she founded is even more powerful in the world. She has suppressed many great monsters. She also went to Chang'an to help the national master kill Sha Wuzhiqi, is it possible that you can meet such a big shot whenever you want?"
"Don't blame them for scaring you. We are all old monsters who have never eaten humans and are nearing our end of life. We hope to worship in Yuxuan Palace and obtain the secrets of Xuanmen and the elixir to extend our lives. Even if we are slaves and maids, I am also willing to do so!”
The old turtle is indeed very old, and he has to gasp several times just to say a few words.
Chang Le couldn't bear to say: "In that case, I'll just wait in line, but I have something important to do. Grandpa Turtle, how long will it take for me to wait in line to enter Yuxuan Palace?"
This sound of "Grandpa Turtle" was crisp and sweet, and the old turtle was so excited that he continued to give instructions.
"Little baby, I have been waiting for four years to make four steps forward. If you say it, it will take ten or twenty years."
Changle was stunned for a moment.
"This is still the most optimistic estimate. Originally, Yuxuan Palace would open its gates every other year, usually in June, but for some reason this year, it's already September and there's still no movement."
The old turtle sighed: "If we wait any longer, I might die here first."
Changle suddenly thought that there were people praying for rain in the temple next to the Xiangjiang River, and that she had a sense of crisis as soon as she stepped into the Xiangjiang River. Everything seemed unusual.
She was about to count with her fingers, but at this moment, Yuxuan Palace suddenly burst into bright light, and the closed door slowly opened.
"It's open, it's open!"
"The Yuxuan Palace is finally open, let's rush!"
"This opportunity is rare, everyone, I won't be polite for now!"
A monster took the lead in the charge, and the monsters in line suddenly lost their composure and cast spells one after another to rush towards the palace gate, lest they fall behind.
The old turtle hesitated for a moment, and then said to Chang Le: "Little baby, sit on my back quickly, let's enter the Yuxuan Palace together!"
"Thank you Grandpa Turtle!"
Changle flew down on its turtle shell, clenched his little fists, and said: "Grandpa Turtle, charge!"
The old turtle sprayed out streams of water vapor, and there seemed to be a divine light condensing in his eyes. He spread his limbs and shook violently.
Buzz!
Moved slowly half an inch.
Travel again!
Another half inch forward.
Afterwards, the old turtle gasped and said, "Let's rest for a while."
Changle: "o((⊙﹏⊙))o"
The little fist she waved stopped awkwardly in the water. At this moment, she finally knew why this grandpa turtle had only taken four steps forward after waiting four years.
Seeing that the monsters were about to break into Yuxuan Palace, jet-black hair suddenly rushed out, and the black hair was like needles, piercing their bodies.
The little snakes with flowing bodies and the crocodiles with black stone bodies looked so fragile in front of the slender black hair. What was even more terrifying was that after being pierced, the bodies of these monsters quickly shrank, as if all the life essence in their bodies had been destroyed. Swallowed up.
"What...what's going on?"
The old turtle looked at all this in shock.
A figure walked out slowly.
The green silk is like a waterfall three thousand feet long, and the red clothes are like fire stepping on golden lotus.
The endless power of water condensed into golden lotuses around her. A faint fairy light circulated on her body as white as jade. The pale golden dress made her more luxurious and majestic, highlighting her beautiful figure and cold air. Appearance.
Like a purple lotus blooming on the ice and snow of the mountains, it is pure and flawless.
That astonishing beauty like an ice sculpture made Changle's eyes light up. This must be Master Ziyu!
It's just that the master's wife seems... a bit scary.
The black silk was withdrawn, and all the monsters turned into dust. Chen Ziyu stepped forward, and under the snow-white embroidered shoes, lotus flowers appeared automatically.
Lotus grows at every step.
She walked straight towards the old turtle, her calm gaze was like a gaze into the abyss, making it tremble, and cracks appeared on the solid turtle shell.
"Bear...meet the goddess!"
"Little... little demon has been waiting in line honestly without any overstep. I ask the goddess... to spare my life!"
Chen Ziyu didn't even look at it, but stared at Chang Le on the turtle's back with shining eyes.
Just as Chang Le was about to speak, the jade hairpin in his arms flew out with a whoosh and landed automatically in Chen Ziyu's hand.
She looked at the hairpin, and her indifferent eyes showed fluctuations for the first time, becoming a little softer, as if she was lost in memories.
After a long time, her fluttering black hair automatically gathered up and tied up with a hairpin, making her whole person less cold and more noble.
But the voice was still cold.
"Who are you, and why do you have this hairpin in your hand?"
Under the gaze of his master's wife, Changle felt a frantic warning in her heart. Even the willow branch was trembling. It seemed that as long as the answer was slightly wrong, she would die immediately without a burial place!
Mrs. Ziyu is really a ruthless person...
As expected, only Master can surrender such a woman.
She bowed and saluted calmly and said: "He Jia, the tenth generation true disciple of Longhu Mountain, pays homage to Master!"
Chen Ziyu's eyes moved slightly, and the hostility in his eyes quickly disappeared.
"So you are his disciple, and you are Princess Changle of the Tang Dynasty?"
Changle nodded and said with a smile: "Master, you are so beautiful. Master often tells me that you are the most beautiful and beautiful woman in the world. I didn't believe it at first, but today it is an eye-opener!"
Wear it a thousand times, but flattery never wears it.
The little girl immediately let out a rainbow fart and began to fawn over her future master's wife.
As the goddess of Xiaoxiang and the master of Yuxuan Palace, Chen Ziyu originally didn't care about such flattering words, but Chang Le's words made her slightly startled, and her heart was filled with ripples.
"He...really said that?"
"Yeah, that's absolutely true!"
Changle took Chen Ziyu's hand and said with a smile: "Master, my master misses you so much. He asked me to come here with the Jasper Escape Hairpin just to give you a surprise."
After a pause, she continued: "Of course, Master also wants to ask Master's wife for a small favor."
A smile appeared on the corner of Chen Ziyu's mouth, and she looked at Chang Le with a half-smile.
"Master has a hundred thoughts. You, the apprentice, are also a ghost. Tell me, what does he want me to do?"
"The Tang army is trapped in Zhanxiang City. Master can't leave now. I would like to ask Master's wife to go to support."
Chen Ziyu did not hesitate, nodded and said: "In that case, I will go to Zhanxiang for a walk."
But at this moment, a figure rushed out of Yuxuan Palace. She looked like a palace maid, but had a fish tail, like a legendary mermaid.
"Mother, you can't go!"
She said anxiously: "The Empress in Tsing Yi has told me that you are now at the critical stage of breaking through the realm. You may pass through the heavenly tribulation at any time. You must not leave the Xiaoxiang Water Vein. Otherwise, the heavenly tribulation will come. Without the help of the Xiaoxiang Water Vein, you... …I’m afraid the consequences will be disastrous!”
Changle was shocked when he heard this.
She finally understood why it had not rained in the Xiaoxiang River Basin for a long time. It was because Master Ziyu was in seclusion to accumulate strength and could not waste any water power.
She also knew why her scalp felt numb as soon as she stepped into the Xiaoxiang waters, as if she had been struck by lightning.
Because the disaster is coming!
Master has said that nowadays, the world has changed greatly, it is even more difficult to become an immortal, and the terror of the catastrophe is far greater than in the past. Many amazing and talented people have died in the catastrophe and turned into ashes.
For example, the ancestor of the Chuma lineage, the headmaster of the Longmen Sect, the master of Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng...
In the past, at worst, these people could become earthly immortals, but now, they cannot even survive the calamity of human immortals.
Even the old Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain and Master Ye of the Maoshan Sect have been wasting decades after entering Yangshen and have not dared to take that step.
"Master's wife, you...do you want to survive the catastrophe?"
Changle held her hand and said: "Master probably doesn't know this news, otherwise he will never let you take the risk. You, please don't go now!"
Chen Ziyu glanced at the mermaid woman lightly, and the majesty in her eyes made her lower her eyes and did not dare to speak anymore.
"I've made up my mind."
She touched the jade hairpin on her head, feeling the familiar touch, and a smile appeared in her cold eyes.
"I became an immortal just for him. Now that he needs me, how can he back down from becoming an immortal?"
"Xiao Changle, tell me, isn't that putting the cart before the horse?"
Chang Le was silent for a long time. At this moment, she finally knew why the master would often hold this hosta and look at it for a long time.
…
In the gourd of the three realms.
The ocean composed of thunder and lightning submerged everything, but it could never submerge a figure that looked like a demon.
He sat cross-legged on the back of the cow, his hair dancing wildly, his green robe hunting, his eyes, ears, mouth and nose bursting with bright purple lightning, and every breath he took was like a thunderbolt.
If you observe carefully, you will find that there are eighteen thousand orifices that light up all over his body, a full six thousand more than before, and they are swallowing up this sea of thunder.
The third level of "Huang Ting Ancient Sutra"!
He has not yet attained the immortal body, but he has accidentally cultivated the third level of Huangting and entered the late stage of Yangshen!
After completing the third level of Huangting, his efficiency in absorbing thunder and lightning increased dramatically. As time passed, the surrounding thunder sea gradually shrank, and it became increasingly difficult for the Kui Niu under him to resist.
I don’t know how much time passed, but the electric light on Kui Niu became smaller and smaller.
Its green hair gradually turned to stone. After losing a lot of thunder, it was knocked back to its prototype again and turned into a Kui Niu sculpture.
Click!
Under the stimulation of thunder, cracks appeared in the sculpture.
And at this moment, the "Book of Demons and Demons" in Li Daoxuan's mind shone brightly.
"In September of the seventh year of Zhenguan, I killed the true spirit of Kui Niu in the gourd of the Three Realms, and received the reward - [Dongxuan Yushu Thunder Technique]!"
…
Thank you for the 2,000-year reward from Jingyue Jinghao for allowing you to be safe, and thank you for the 100-yuan reward from Yiye and book friend 20210328101237372. Show your heart!
