Queen Changsun...
Li Daoxuan's eyes narrowed. If he remembered correctly, according to the news he heard before, Queen Changsun had passed away in the nineteenth year of Zhenguan.
At that time, the entire court was immersed in grief.
Although she had left her last words, saying that she would be "buried in the mountains" and "die frugally", Li Shimin still held a grand state funeral for her, with almost all the officials in the capital wearing mourning robes to send this virtuous empress on her last journey. .
Something also happened at that time. Xu Jingzong, a member of Zhongshushe, saw a person in the funeral procession, the famous calligrapher Ouyang Xun. Because Ouyang Xun was ugly, Xu Jingzong couldn't help laughing.
What a coincidence, but Li Shimin heard about it, so he was directly demoted to Sima of the Hongzhou Governor's Office, and he could get away as far as he wanted.
This matter is widely circulated among the people because it is interesting.
In other words, Queen Changsun is indeed dead, otherwise Li Shimin would never hold a state funeral.
"How are you sure it's the smell of Queen Changsun?"
Bai Suzhen replied: "Sir, my nose is quite sensitive and I can remember the people I met. You took me to the palace many times back then, and you also had the God of Locust Eradication in Dengzhou. You sent me to rush back to Tai Chi Palace all night long." , brought the locusts to Your Majesty, Queen Changsun was also present at that time."
Li Daoxuan nodded.
Xiaobai is indeed very sensitive to smells. Although it is not as good as Xiaotian, it is still rare in the world.
When he first entered the palace, Xiaobai made a strange move when Concubine Yang walked past him. This was because Xiaobai had seen Concubine Yang when he was controlled by Pan Dan.
Some people in the Moro religion meet regularly.
Li Daoxuan frowned slightly.
Xiaobai would not lie to him, but Queen Changsun was obviously just an ordinary person with no cultivation, and she died in the 19th year of Zhenguan. However, Xiaobai's attack happened in the 20th year of Zhenguan.
Things get confusing.
Li Dao Sun Simiao studied medicine.
What disease can't even be cured by her?
There is indeed something strange about this matter.
"It seems that it is indeed necessary to go to Chang'an to take a look."
When Xiao Qing heard this, his eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Are you going to Chang'an to fight? Master, take me with you!"
This little snake was very excited when he heard that he was going to Chang'an, and even the master shouted smoothly.
Chang'an, the most prosperous place in the Tang Dynasty, and probably the most prosperous place in the world, was so famous that even she, a snake demon, almost heard it in her ears.
Unlike Xiaobai, who has seen all the prosperity, she is just starting out and yearning for the world.
"Not urgent."
Li Daoxuan's eyes were deep and he smiled: "Wait a little longer."
"What are you waiting for?"
"Waiting for a big fish to bite the bait."
…
night.
Li Daoxuan lives in the main room of the thatched cottage, which was originally Xiaobai's room. She packed it out and slept with Xiaoqing.
The interior decoration is simple, the fragrance is light and elegant, and there is a light powdery atmosphere.
Li Daoxuan sat cross-legged and began to practice.
The spiritual energy in the human world is thin, dozens of times worse than in heaven. When he first came back, he was still a little uncomfortable, as if a dragon was swimming in the shallows and a tiger was entering the plains.
I thought that the practice would be very slow, but as he circulated around the sky, wisps of innate taiyin energy emerged from his body, following the fire dragon, water tiger, sun, black moon, rabbit, through the three levels, and entered the large and small cauldron.
The two mysterious skills of "Huangting Ancient Sutra" and "Eight-Nine Mysterious Skills" began to slowly improve.
Not fast, but stable and long-lasting.
The innate Taiyin Qi is almost continuous, as vast as the sea, and usually cannot be noticed, but with the operation of Xuan Gong, it springs up from the limbs and bones like bamboo shoots after rain.
Li Daoxuan's body was suddenly filled with a fairy spirit, and the room was filled with fragrance.
…
"Sister, it smells so good!"
Xiaoqing's nose moved, and she followed the scent to the courtyard. She saw that the room where Li Daoxuan lived was faintly glowing, and the surrounding clouds were steaming and glowing, like a fairyland.
Even in the night sky, the shadows of bluebirds and phoenixes appeared, hovering and flying on the roofs.
"this……"
Xiao Qing looked at this scene in disbelief. Ever since she met Li Daoxuan, she had been surprised so many times today.
"Xiao Qing, this is my master practicing. You and I are sitting outside, protecting the law and practicing at the same time!"
Bai Suzhen was not surprised. It was normal for a god-like figure like the master to make such movements while practicing.
When she was a little snake, her favorite thing was to practice with her master.
The two women meditated outside Li Daoxuan's room and soon fell into trance. Their noses inhaled the spiritual energy escaping from the room. Although it was not much, it was of extremely high quality and was extremely pure.
This is why monsters are willing to serve as mounts for immortals. Apart from being unable to defeat them, the most important thing is to follow those powerful men so that they can eat meat while they can also drink soup.
Any favor given by gods and Buddhas is a great opportunity for monsters.
This practice lasts for two hours.
No spiritual energy escaped from the room, the glow gradually dissipated, and finally everything returned to calm.
Xiao Qing's face was flushed, as if she had drunk ten jars of Bamboo Leaf Green, and she was completely drunk. This was because she had not cultivated enough, and had absorbed too much spiritual power, which she could not refine at the moment.
Compared with her, Bai Suzhen's skin was smooth, her eyes were bright, and she seemed to be radiant, even more bright.
After just two hours of practice, she, a great demon in the Yang God Realm, had become even more refined, comparable to several years of hard training.
"Master, Xiaobai wants to see you."
The door opened automatically, and Li Daoxuan slowly opened his eyes.
In an instant, the empty room was electrified. Xiaobai felt as if there was thunder in front of his eyes, and the entire night sky seemed to turn into day. However, the next moment it returned to normal.
Only those eyes like stars in the sky were looking at her quietly.
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that although the master was looking at her, he always seemed to be looking at another person.
Li Daoxuan looked at the elegant figure in white clothes and snow, and thought of his senior sister again.
He already understood the source of these innate Taiyin Qi.
The senior sister is the reincarnation of the Queen Mother of the West, and the Queen Mother of the West is transformed from the Qi of the innate Taiyin. Li Daoxuan will naturally benefit from her dual cultivation.
After spending the whole night in the bed, the senior sister was not only taking revenge on the Queen Mother of the West, she was also giving him her final gift.
In a daze, his senior sister's voice seemed to ring in his ears again, with a smile full of laughter and a hint of teasing.
"Junior Brother, what that little lotus flower can give you, Senior Sister can also give you, and it can give you even more."
He had benefited a lot from just two hours of practice, and the refined innate Taiyin Qi was only a drop in the ocean. You can imagine how precious this gift is.
Touching the faint red mark on his wrist, Li Daoxuan sighed in his heart.
It is most difficult to lose the kindness of a beautiful woman.
"Master, I wonder if I can let Xiaoqing practice those cultivation methods you once taught me?"
Bai Suzhen saluted and asked.
Although she was a sister to Xiao Qing, she never taught Xiao Qing the Taoist magic without Li Daoxuan's permission. All the techniques she taught were created by herself.
Li Daoxuan glanced outside the door. Xiaoqing was rolling on the ground as if he was drunk, giggling, doing some somersaults and walking upside down, like a juggler.
He shook his head and smiled: "It doesn't matter, just pass it on to her."
Although Xiaoqing's wild nature has not disappeared, she is still kind-hearted, loyal, and has the style of a heroine, so she can be cultivated.
"Thank you, sir!"
Bai Suzhen's eyes were filled with joy, she lifted up her skirt and thanked her, and then she was about to leave.
"Wait a moment."
Li Daoxuan pointed his finger, and a golden light penetrated into her eyebrows.
"You have entered the realm of the Yang God, and it is time to pass on this magical power to you. However, it is subtle, mysterious, and difficult to understand. Whether you can master it or not depends on your own luck."
Bai Suzhen closed her eyes for a long time, and when she opened them again, her eyes were filled with emotion.
The Great Divine Power of Tiangang - Move the Stars and Change the Fight!
She never imagined that the master could even pass on this magical power to her. She was a demon after all, but the master trusted her so much...
"This is the superior magical power of my Taoist sect. You are not allowed to teach it to others without my permission."
"yes!"
Bai Suzhen's eyes flashed, but she stopped talking.
"What's wrong?"
"Master, the way you looked at me just now... seemed a little sad. Did Xiaobai do something wrong?"
Li Daoxuan was stunned for a moment, and then sighed softly.
"You didn't do anything wrong, I just thought of my senior sister."
"Fairy Taizhen?"
Xiaobai had seen Taizhen before, but it was still a small snake at that time, hiding on Li Daoxuan's wrist all day long, and was inconspicuous.
Li Daoxuan did not hide anything and told his and his senior sister's experiences.
He had been harboring these words in his heart for a long time, and now that he could express them out, he felt like he had some catharsis.
When she heard that Taizhen had resolutely reincarnated and that the master tied the red rope to seal the fate of three lives, Bai Suzhen was moved to tears. She also understood that when the master looked at her just now, he thought of Fairy Taizhen.
"Master, if you really want...Xiao Bai can...play the role of Fairy Taizhen..."
She pursed her red lips, a blush appearing on her jade-like face, and mustered up the courage to say these words.
She was saved by the master and raised by the master. Even if she devotes herself to the master, it is not a big deal.
As long as it can help the master relieve the depression in his heart, it is worth it.
As she spoke, she had already stretched out her hand to the ribbon on her chest. Her waist was as soft as a bone, swaying gently like a willow. She had just transformed a few years ago, and there was still a trace of a snake in her every move.
Li Daoxuan waved his hand to stop him and stared at her.
"You are Bai Suzhen, you don't need to pretend to be someone else."
"Go back and rest."
Bai Suzhen showed a hint of shame on her face, lowered her eyes and said, "Yes!"
As the door closed, Li Daoxuan breathed a sigh of relief and showed a wry smile.
Although he had a good impression of the White Snake when he was reading "The Legend of White Snake", when she became the white snake he raised, no matter how beautiful she was after her transformation, she still had a grudge in his heart.
After all, not everyone can become a reckless hero.
Moreover, he has too many peach blossom debts. Although Zhengyi monk is not afraid of weddings and funerals, he cannot be too frivolous.
…
The next day, early morning.
The three of them ate together in the courtyard.
What I ate was Brahmin light noodles, which are actually white, fat, fluffy and soft cane sugar steamed buns. It is a delicacy introduced to the Tang Dynasty from Tianzhu. It was paired with a plate of chicken with onion and vinegar and a pot of monkey wine. It was simple but delicious.
These are all Xiaobai's skills. Li Daoxuan didn't expect that she, a snake demon, could have such superb cooking skills.
But thinking about the gentle and virtuous White Snake in "The Legend of White Snake", it's not surprising.
"Master, why don't we go to Chang'an?"
Ever since she woke up and her mana surged, Xiao Qing's "master" became more and more smooth, and she even took the initiative to pick up food for Li Daoxuan as if to please.
She's almost becoming a little fan girl.
Li Daoxuan took a sip of wine and smiled lightly: "No hurry, just wait."
Xiao Qing was about to speak when she saw Li Daoxuan paused with his chopsticks.
"Looks like he took the bait."
Just when she was filled with doubts, an angry roar suddenly sounded outside the door, like thunder, echoing throughout Yunlong Mountain, shaking countless innocent birds into bloody foam.
"You monster, how dare you hurt me, a bad person from the Tang Dynasty!"
"I am the Dharma King who patrols the sky under the throne of the Holy Buddha. Why don't you die quickly!!!"
Wow!
The howling wind swept across the sky and the earth, bursting open the door of the thatched cottage in an instant, and the table where the breakfast was placed also trembled.
Xiao Qing's whole body tensed up instantly, and she felt a huge pressure. It was as if she saw a mountain of corpses, a sea of blood, and white bones, and a kind of fear spread in her heart.
Bai Suzhen held her hand.
Xiaoqing looked at her calm sister and the old man who was still eating meat and drinking wine, and her heart calmed down.
"What a strong evil spirit, haha, it seems that I -"
The sound outside the door stopped suddenly.
With two wings on his back and a green face and fangs, the sky-watching Dharma King's eyes bulged as he stared intently at the handsome figure in white clothes and gold belt, quietly tasting delicious food.
Drops of cold sweat slid down his cheeks, and when they fell on the ground, they made a sizzling sound, corroding the soil.
Li Daoxuan finally put down his chopsticks and looked at him with calm eyes.
Boom!
The Dharma King Xuntian felt as if he was struck by five thunders. There was deep fear in his eyes, and there was no trace of the arrogance he had before. He fluttered his wings, turned around and ran away.
Wei Ruhai, the delinquent captain, was standing behind him, looking at Li Daoxuan with vicious eyes.
He lost all his cultivation and became a useless person because of his gift.
When he saw Dharma King Xuntian preparing to escape, he quickly stepped forward to stop him and said in confusion: "Dharma King, why are you——"
"The thief mistaken me!!!"
The Dharma King Xuntian roared angrily and smashed his head to pieces. The pieces of flesh were like rain, and the brains were flying everywhere.
Then he flew away into the distance without looking back, as fast as a shooting star.
Xiao Qing was stunned.
This...he ran away?
"Master, do you want to chase me?"
Bai Suzhen asked.
Li Daoxuan shook his head and smiled.
"No need, he will come back on his own."
…
