Green Underworld, Luoyun Pond.
This is the bathing place of the empress in green, with the moonlight as the spring, the sun essence as the fire, the spiritual veins gathering, and the clear mist lingering, just like a fairyland fairyland.
It seems that all the clouds from the sky have fallen into this pool. The soup is like white jade and fragrant.
For ordinary people, bathing in this pool can strengthen their health and eliminate all diseases. For monks, bathing in this pool can improve their cultivation and nourish their bodies. It can be called a paradise.
However, the owner of Luoyun Pond, the empress of the Qingming Realm, did not take a bath. Instead, she sat on the lotus platform beside the pond, with the immortals behind her head turning in seven colors, holy and ethereal.
Her eyes were closed, and a slender jade hand was gently folded and twisted slowly, coincidentally matching the number of the nine palaces, just like a lotus flower in full bloom.
There were ripples in the Luoyun Pond.
A beautiful woman was bathing in the pool. In the hazy fairy mist, she could vaguely see her skin, which was whiter than jade, her exquisite and translucent collarbones, and the crystal dewdrops on them.
The inky green silk floats in the water, like the most precious brocade, and also like an enchanting green snake.
"Sister, why are you so reserved? Why don't you come down to the pool and take a bath together?"
After a pause, she said with a teasing smile: "Seeing how holy and dignified my sister is, I really want to see how she looks when she takes off her clothes~"
Her voice was like a jade chime, like running water in the mountains, or the chirping of birds in the flowers. It was natural, lively, and free-spirited. Even in the face of the famous Lord of Qingming, she actually dared to make teasing remarks.
The empress in green slowly opened her eyes, her temperament becoming more holy and majestic.
"It doesn't matter how you are dressed, it doesn't matter if you are naked. Beauty and bones, it's just a dream. Taizhen, you can be regarded as an immortal, how can you still not see through the body and skin?"
The Empress in Tsing Yi's cultivation has become more and more profound. At this moment, she is just speaking eloquently, but it resonates with heaven and earth. The sound of the Tao follows it, carrying a strange power that is indescribable and shocking.
However, Taizhen in the pool did not accept this trick. She smiled sweetly and said, "If sister really doesn't care about this skin, why do she still build this Luoyun Pool?"
The empress in green said calmly: "I haven't practiced enough, and I still have obsessions."
Taizhen smiled and said: "Sister's obsession could not be...my handsome and cute little junior brother."
The empress in green's expression remained unchanged, and she said coldly: "Taizhen, Li Daoxuan is my disciple's Taoist companion. There are some jokes, please don't make random jokes."
"Hey, sister is angry~"
Taizhen's beautiful eyes rippled, and he said with a smile: "Why do I suddenly become like a human woman when I mention my little junior brother, my sister who is like a Bodhisattva?"
Qing Yi closed his eyes and said calmly: "It is said that after you disappeared in Zhongnan Mountain, Li Daoxuan sent Hidden Dragon and bad guys to look for you everywhere. He has never given up in these years."
The smile on Taizhen's face faltered.
"Why does the majestic Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty miss his senior sister so much?"
"What exactly did you go through during the time you were in Zhongnan Mountain? Why was the name Zhuge Qing deliberately covered up by Taoism to confuse the secrets of heaven?"
There was a hint of surprise in Taizhen's eyes, as if she was reminded of those days in the mountains. She played Zhuge Qing and had a great time playing with her junior brother.
The junior brother can tell stories, write poems and lyrics, watch the sunrise with her, drink Baihua Zui, and cook delicious dishes. Chacha also likes him very much.
That was her most unforgettable period. Unfortunately, the story of Zhuge Qing and Li Xuan ended abruptly, and the ink on the book stayed at the fourth chapter forever.
The first time the two met, she pointed out clues to the Chang'an missing person case.
The second time, she brewed hundreds of flowers and used her magical power to reverse yin and yang to help him break through to the late stage of Yin Shen.
In the third episode, the book "Yagyu Biography" brought the relationship between the two closer, and she sent Phoenix essence and blood to help him complete the Four Saints Formation.
However, in the fourth episode, because the two had skin-to-skin contact, Queen Mother Xi's consciousness was stimulated and she temporarily took control of her body, almost killing him.
So she had to leave Chang'an with Chacha, and she became anonymous from then on.
Now that I think about it, that was five years ago.
"Taizhen, you came to see me this time. The reinforced seal is fake. I'm afraid you have ulterior motives."
The empress in green's eyes were clear and seemed to see through people's hearts.
Just as Taizhen was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed, and he quickly lowered his head and sank into the Luoyun Pond, leaving only circles of ripples.
A paper crane flew over and transformed into Li Daoxuan with a flash of fairy light.
He looked at the empress in green beside Luoyun Pond, his eyes softened, and he called softly: "Qing Ni, I——"
The empress in green suddenly opened her eyes, opened her sandalwood mouth slightly, and blew gently.
The green wind was so powerful that it directly blew away the phantom of Li Daoxuan's soul. The paper crane seemed to have lost its soul, falling swayingly and turning into a piece of talisman paper.
The empress in green stretched out her hand to catch it, looking at the words on it, her eyes trembled slightly.
Gulu~
Taizhen poked her head out of the pool. Her long hair had been wetted by the water and stained her beautiful face. The cinnabar between her eyebrows was even brighter.
"Tsk, tsk, Qingni..."
She swam forward, holding her jade cheeks by the pool, her beautiful figure looming in the water, and shouted in a deliberately exaggerated tone: "Qingni, Qingni~"
The empress in green snorted coldly, and with a little finger, the water gathered in the pool and turned into a lotus, wrapping all of Taizhen in it.
But the voice still sounded faintly in the lotus.
"Sister Qingni, why are you so angry?"
"My sister has done something wrong. If you tell me clearly, can't I change it?"
"Are you okay, Qing Ni~"
Wow!
Water lotuses splashed, Taizhen flew out, her jade body suddenly appeared, and the snow-gauze white skirt beside the pool automatically flew over, wrapping the infinitely beautiful scenery.
No shoes or socks were worn, and the feet were as bare as snow, gently touching the clear water, creating ripples.
"Qingni——"
She was about to continue teasing, but found that the shore was empty and the buildings were deserted.
…
Yinshan.
Li Daoxuan and his junior sister Taiwei sat cross-legged in the clouds, guarding the underground palace while waiting for the arrival of experts from various factions.
"Senior brother, apart from our Longhu Mountain, will other sects in the Yangshen realm really come?"
Taiwei had some doubts. Although she knew that her senior brother was now the Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty, and things were different from what he had been before, those great masters who had cultivated to the Yang Shen realm either liked to retreat or hide from the world.
Even if senior brother's paper crane can find them, they may not be willing to come.
People who can cultivate to the Yang Shen realm often have their own arrogance. How can they be willing to obey the instructions of a junior?
Regarding the junior sister's doubts, Li Daoxuan just smiled slightly.
"Calculate the time and we will know soon whether it will come or not."
This time he shook many people, and even some people he had never interacted with before. Li Daoxuan was not sure whether those people would come.
You are a friend if you come, and you are not an enemy if you don't come. However, after this battle, it will not be so easy to be Li Daoxuan's friend and gain the support of the Tang Dynasty.
"Here we go, what a powerful sword energy!"
Taiwei's sword eyes lit up, showing a strong look, looking towards the south.
Sword rays flew in one after another, transforming into countless figures, some young, some young, some old, all wearing Taoist robes, carrying long swords on their backs, and looking majestic.
The leader was an old Taoist priest wearing a bamboo hat on his head and carrying a sword box on his back. His beard and hair were all white, and his skin was yellow, but his eyes were as bright as snow shining on a cold river, burning like torches.
Before anyone arrived, hearty and heroic laughter suddenly sounded.
"Haha, Mr. Li, you have invited all the gods in the world, how come you only missed the old way? Do you look down on my sword, Xu Qingxuan?"
The voice of Wu Qiubai, the headmaster of Wanshou Palace, who was following closely behind him, was as clear and sonorous as a sword.
"There are thirty-four disciples in the Wanshou Palace who are in the middle stage of Bigu and above. All of them will join the battle with their master and obey the orders of the national master!"
Li Daoxuan was slightly startled, looking at the pair of eyes that were either excited or calm, and felt moved in his heart.
He deliberately avoided Xu Qingxuan this time, but he didn't want to be found out by the other party anyway, and then he resolutely brought the disciples from Wanshou Palace to eliminate the demon.
"Senior Xu, why are you doing this?"
Li Daoxuan couldn't help but sigh.
Although he used an Arhat mud pill to revive Xu Qingxuan back then, it only extended his lifespan for a few decades. After that, Senior Xu went to war in the north and south, killing people everywhere. A word of injustice caused many monsters to be killed!
After years of bloody battles, his lifespan was severely depleted, and Li Daoxuan wanted him to enjoy his old age in peace.
As for the Wanshou Palace, many of its disciples had sacrificed their lives, and all nine of Senior Xu's disciples died in the battle, so that his disciple Wu Qiubai had to be allowed to teach.
When the dragon came out of the well and flooded the whole county, Wanshou Palace sacrificed many disciples, so that now there are only thirty-four Taoist priests in the middle stage of Bigu and above. Even so, they still generously went to the national disaster.
Xu Qingxuan laughed and said: "Young man Li, you know nothing. Stop talking nonsense. Do you have any wine? It needs to be of high quality!"
Li Daoxuan took out a jar of fine wine, which was one of the three jars of fine wine that Li Shimin had given him. He said that if he had three jars of wine, he would protect Li Tang's foundation for three hundred years.
Xu Qingxuan took a sip and his eyes suddenly brightened.
"Haha, good wine, you are really interesting!"
"Come on, Chixia, take a sip too!"
Compared with five years ago, Yan Chixia has changed a lot. She no longer looks like a scholar in gilded clothes, but she has some beard, and her whole person has become much more mature.
But he still doesn't like drinking.
"Haha, if you don't drink, how can you use a sword?"
Xu Qingxuan cursed, hating iron but not steel.
Yan Chixia just smiled and said nothing. She looked at Li Daoxuan with her full-fledged eyes, showing a complicated expression.
Six years have passed since the ten-year sword duel, and only four years remain.
Although he has cultivated to the realm of Yin God, he is no longer what he used to be, but he was shocked to hear that Li Daoxuan killed the Yang God with one arrow, retreated thousands of troops, and even raised the head of the Locust God in Dengzhou, shocking the world with his roar!
The gap is getting wider.
Just thinking about it gives me a headache...
"Haha, such a good wine, it's just a waste if it's drunk by an old guy like you. Cow chews peony, hurry up and let me have a taste!"
A hearty voice sounded, and then the energy of Tiangang surged, and a figure wearing a purple robe of a heavenly master and holding a long sword floated over, with a clear face and extraordinary bearing.
In an instant, the evil-slaying sword in Li Daoxuan's sword box was filled with excitement and made bursts of sword sounds.
The sword in the Taoist's hand was also trembling, almost ready to be unsheathed.
The treasure of the Longhu Mountain Town Sect, the male and female swords of the Three Five Evil Slayers, finally reunited after thousands of years. The female swords and the male swords echoed each other from a distance, and the treasure light was like a rainbow.
Li Daoxuan and Taiwei stood up at the same time and bowed.
"Disciple pays homage to Master (Uncle Master)!"
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
Zhang Qianyang was very excited when he saw the disciple he was most proud of. He couldn't help but say hello three times. He didn't even care about the movements of the evil-killing male and female swords, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Daoxuan.
"Master..."
Li Daoxuan felt sad when he saw his master's pale temples, and for the first time he experienced the ruthlessness of time.
Unconsciously, Master also began to grow old.
Zhang Qianyang also looked at his proud disciple carefully. Back then, the two of them traveled around the world, lived in a shabby house, killed demons, laughed and cursed, but still depended on each other.
The boy who was once inexperienced in the world has now become the leader of the new generation of Taoism. He is also the national master of the Tang Dynasty, and he is powerful in all countries in the world.
If he hadn't met Li Daoxuan, I'm afraid he would have died in a broken coffin and would never be able to return to Longhu Mountain, let alone become the eighth generation Celestial Master.
"Being a Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain is tiring enough, let alone being a National Master. Look at you, you are much thinner than before."
Zhang Qianyang patted him on the shoulder and said seriously: "If you are not happy in Chang'an, go back to Longhu Mountain. No matter when, Longhu Mountain will be your home."
Whether the apprentice can succeed is important, but it is even more important to live happily.
After becoming the eighth-generation Heavenly Master, Zhang Qianyang realized how troublesome this position was. There were too many things to consider. Comparing one's feelings with others, wouldn't it be even more burdensome for a disciple to be a master of a country?
"Master, don't worry, I'm fine."
Zhang Qianyang smiled with his beard, and then pulled Li Daoxuan to chatter endlessly, talking about the old Heavenly Master's snoring when he slept, his son Zhang Wei Yang's worship of Li Daoxuan, and the plain but beautiful years in Longhu Mountain.
So much so that even old friends and nephew Taiwei, whom he had not seen for many years, were ignored.
Xu Qingxuan took a sip of wine and muttered: "Mother-in-law, this man is really different after having a child. He looks like a woman, bah!"
Zhang Qianyang turned around calmly, with a smile on his face.
"You old thing, you just envy me and Ning Yan for having a child, haha!"
Xu Qingxuan was furious and said: "Are you going to do it again?"
"hehe."
Xu Qingxuan was so angry that his beard puffed up and he began to flatten his sleeves.
Zhang Qianyang also rolled up his purple robe, regardless of his image as a heavenly master. Seeing that a "war" was about to break out, suddenly, a stream of light flew from the distance.
Another person from the Yangshen Realm came.
Zhang Qianyang quickly flattened his purple robe, and Xu Qingxuan also rolled down his sleeves and stood with his hands behind his back. Both of them looked cold and cold, as if they were masters.
"Laoshan Baiyunzi, following the orders of the Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty!"
The leader of the Laoshan sect actually came in person.
Coincidentally, streams of light came one after another.
"Ziwei Shanren, the Supreme Elder of the Longmen Sect, is here in compliance with the orders of the Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty!"
"The people from Chunyang Palace Sanshan are here in compliance with the orders of the Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty!"
"Yuan Tiangang, the master of Louguan Taoism, is here in compliance with the orders of the Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty!"
"Xuan Cheng and Ye Fashan of the Maoshan Sect..."
In the past, the Yangshen of the Taoist Sect, who used to be like dragons but never saw their tail, were now flying in one after another, including Master Ye of the Maoshan Sect.
Not only that, the Sanskrit sound sounded.
"Amitabha Buddha, Hui Chan of White Horse Temple, and all the leaders in the temple, are here to help the master!"
"My Buddha is merciful. Shaolin is empty. I bring eighteen bronze men and obey the orders of the national master!"
Many Buddhist masters also came to Yin Mountain, and some even brought their outstanding disciples, such as the eighteen bronze men of Shaolin. Each one is a late-stage Yin God, and they can form a Arhat formation to fight against the Yang God!
In the end, even Zhizang, the contemporary master of Tibetan Tantric Sect, came. Behind him was the appearance of King Ming, with Buddha's light flowing around him, and he clasped his hands in front of Li Daoxuan.
"King Kong Temple Zhizang came here in compliance with the orders of the Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty."
For a time, thousands of rays of rays of light and purple air surged into the sky over Yinshan Mountain, like a group of immortals arriving at the end of their journey and ten thousand Buddhas in the sky.
Taiwei stared at this scene blankly. She never expected that so many people would come. The senior brother's name... turned out to be so big.
Zhang Qianyang smiled and said proudly to Xu Qingxuan: "Are you envious, my disciple!"
"Haha, looking at your look, someone who didn't know better would have thought it was your father."
Xu Qingxuan retorted, seemingly disdainful, but feeling a little sour in his heart.
Fusheng Infinite Heavenly Lord actually let this old guy Zhang Qianyang pretend to be...
Most of the Yang gods in the world are here, and the two families of Buddhism and Taoism are actually under the command of one person!
Such a grand scene is probably unprecedented and will never be seen again.
