Looking at the tree demon grandma rushing towards Xiaoqian, Li Daoxuan smiled slightly and was about to take action, but frowned.
But he saw Ning Caichen standing in front of Xiaoqian at some point, holding the wooden carving in both hands and stabbing at the tree demon grandma.
"Don't be afraid, girl, I'll protect you!"
The wood carving sensed the demonic aura of the tree demon, and flew out a golden sword aura, piercing through grandma's heart and taking her last breath.
At the same time, due to excessive use, the wooden sculpture exploded with a crack and turned into a pile of sawdust.
The tree demon stared at Ning Caichen with shock and resentment in his eyes. It seemed that he had never thought that he would eventually die in the hands of an ordinary person like an ant.
Plop!
The tree demon's body fell to the ground and turned into a dead locust tree like charcoal.
At this point, the tree demon grandma who had done many evil things and dominated Lanruo Temple died, and her soul disappeared.
The Demonic Book of Dang in Li Daoxuan's mind glowed, and lines of small golden characters appeared.
"In June of the 23rd year of Zhenguan, I killed the Yangshen tree demon in Lanruo Temple and received the reward - [Thousand-year Lightning Strike Wood]!"
"Thousand-year-old peach wood, struck by thunder, contains a masculine and killing spirit. It has the magical effect of exorcising ghosts and evil spirits, suppressing demons and eliminating demons. It is the best material for Taoist weapon refining..."
Li Daoxuan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the tree demon killed by the wood carving could also be counted on his head.
Back then, he gave the woodcutter a piece of Bodhi wood, with a sword energy hidden in it. If the woodcutter was reborn honestly, the sword energy would not be released. If the woodcutter broke his promise, the sword energy would teach him how to behave.
The woodcutter kept his promise and made the remaining half piece of Bodhi wood into a wood carving, which he left to his wife and newborn son.
After years of worship by Ning Caichen's family, the wood carving gradually developed spirituality and became a magical artifact, which is inextricably linked to Li Daoxuan.
The source of the golden sword energy just now came from him, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he killed the tree demon.
According to his original plan, he was to first ask the tree demon about the whereabouts of the person behind the scenes. Ning Caichen's final blow made this plan come to nothing.
But Li Daoxuan could no longer care about this at the moment. He looked at Xiaoqian, his eyes gleaming slightly, revealing a trace of expectation.
"Li Daoxuan...Li Daoxuan...Li Daoxuan..."
Xiaoqian didn't even look at Ning Caichen beside her. Even her grandma's death didn't attract her attention. She stared at Li Daoxuan blankly and kept murmuring the name.
The cold moon-like eyes became brighter and brighter, as if they were covered in dust from ancient times and were finally washed away by clean water.
Her clothes began to change, the snow-white dress was dyed red little by little, and every inch of her skin began to glow with glow, the fresh air filled the air, and the fairy light was like a rainbow.
Wisps of fairy spirit emerged, and the dilapidated Lanruo Temple seemed to turn into a fairyland in an instant.
The drizzle of rain fell, like the spring rain in the south of the Yangtze River, making clothes wet and not chilling the face. The amazing power of water quietly gathered, and dark clouds covered the bright moon.
Yan Chixia was shocked and said: "What an amazing power of water movement. Could it be that the Dragon King has mastered it?"
"Miss Xiaoqian, what's wrong with you?"
Ning Caichen looked at the unfamiliar man in red. His appearance had changed a lot, becoming more cold and charming, with an air of immortality and an indescribable majesty.
That is the Xiaoxiang goddess who controls three thousand miles of water and dominates the six states in the south of the Yangtze River.
A flash of fairy light directly knocked Ning Caichen away. Chen Ziyu looked at Li Daoxuan and murmured: "I see, I remembered it..."
She walked towards Li Daoxuan, her gorgeous red dress trailing to the ground, and her snow-white and delicate jade feet were like glass under the moonlight, crystal clear and unstained by dust.
All impurities automatically avoid her lotus feet, and purity arises wherever they go.
"Xiao...Goddess Xiaoxiang?"
Yan Chixia wiped her eyes and finally confirmed that the female ghost Xiaoqian was actually the master of Yuxuan Palace, the legendary Xiaoxiang goddess who had attained the Taoist Fruit of Immortality!
He finally understood why Li Daoxuan came to this dilapidated Lanruo Temple to deal with a little tree demon.
It turned out to be for this person!
It's just that he couldn't understand why Xiaoxiang Goddess, with her status and deeds, condescended to become a female ghost under the tree demon?
When he came back to his senses, he glanced at the lost Ning Caichen and couldn't help but shake his head.
They have been a couple for a long time, and the famous woman has her husband. Why are you here to join in the fun?
"Sister Yu, I finally found you."
Li Daoxuan smiled slightly and stretched out his hands towards her, preparing for a long-lost hug.
When he saw Xiaoqian for the first time, he saw with his heavenly eyes that she was Sister Yu, but Sister Yu was in a strange state at the time, as if someone had sealed her memory.
Li Daoxuan seemed to be chatting with her at that time, but in fact he was secretly using his immortal power to help her break the seal, so she was sweating profusely at that time.
Under Li Daoxuan's action, the seal was already crumbling. Coupled with the stimulation she received today, Sister Yu finally broke through the seal completely and awakened all her memories.
Similar to the return of gods.
Of course, she is still just a human soul, and she needs to return to the lotus body before she can be fully restored.
Facing Li Daoxuan's open arms, Chen Ziyu's eyes were cold and motionless, and she said calmly: "You still know how to come back?"
The smile on Li Daoxuan's face suddenly solidified.
"We promised to get married after I become an immortal, but you ran away instead."
After a pause, she stared at Li Daoxuan with her eyes as clear as snow, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, revealing a scrutinizing look, and what she said shocked everyone.
"Li Daoxuan, are you... getting close to my master?"
Boom!
The majestic Li Daoxuan, who had just caused thousands of thunders to strike, felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his heart was filled with waves.
Sister Yu...how do you know?
It's over, it's over, I thought it was a reunion after a long separation, but I didn't expect it was the Shura Field...
Is this King Lehi going to overturn today?
It was not only him who was shocked, but also Yan Chixia, who was so shocked that she was tender on the outside and tender on the inside.
Isn’t the master of Goddess Xiaoxiang the Ghost Immortal Empress from the Green Underworld?
Hiss, can I listen to this kind of thing?
Will he be silenced...
Li Dao
Chen Ziyu frowned and said: "But before you disappeared, I went to the Qingming Realm to ask the master for help, but I found that the master was not there either. In her palace, I found something."
"what?"
"A painting."
"What can the painting illustrate--"
"The person in the painting is you."
Li Daoxuan's smile became increasingly bitter, and he said, "Sister Yu, you are overthinking it. Maybe it was painted by someone else."
"Master's wonderful paintings cannot be imitated by others, and I also heard Xiao Que'er secretly talking about it, saying that Master was looking for you earlier than me, and even risked going to Lingshan Mountain for you."
At this moment, Li Daoxuan really wanted to pluck out the feathers of that talkative little skylark and roast it.
"Sister Yu, you really misunderstood. Your Majesty only cares about me. As for that painting, maybe she painted it to find out my whereabouts. Some magical powers are through painting. I have learned a new one recently."
You can’t admit it, even if you’re beaten to death, you can’t admit it!
"Yeah?"
Chen Ziyu frowned slightly, showing hesitation.
Before she could say anything else, Li Daoxuan quickly took her hand and asked, "Sister Yu, who captured your human soul here, do you still remember?"
Great way to divert attention!
Hearing this, Chen Ziyu's eyes narrowed, revealing a murderous intent. It was obvious that the feeling of having a human soul forcibly extracted was not pleasant.
She was born as a female ghost who was decisive and decisive in killing people. She would repay kindness and revenge, so she naturally had a deep murderous intention towards the person behind the scenes.
"During the 20th year of Zhenguan, someone in the Yuxuan Palace got news that someone was coveting the white snake you raised and was planning to attack her when she was going through a catastrophe, so they reported it to me."
At that time, she said that any news related to Li Daoxuan, no matter how big or small, must be reported.
"I rescued the little white snake, but I noticed someone was peeping around me, so I forced it out. It was a monk in white clothes. That man had a very high level of cultivation and was much better than me."
"However, after the man injured me with poison, he did not kill me. I returned to Xiaoxiang to retreat to recuperate, but it was difficult to eradicate the poison. It was not until two years later that a man quietly broke into my retreat and took advantage of me. I was injured and my human soul was taken away from me.”
"But that man used his magical power to cover his face. I didn't see his appearance. I didn't even know whether he was a boy or a girl. I only knew that his magic power was extremely high, even higher than that of the monk in white!"
Speaking of this, Chen Ziyu said a little strangely: "When did the world have so many masters?"
You must know that at that time, she had already survived the heavenly tribulation and achieved the immortality. If she hadn't still been thinking about the missing Li Daoxuan, and Li Daoxuan had told her about the strangeness of heaven, she would have even been able to ascend.
But whether it was the monk in white or the mysterious man who later took away the human soul, his Taoism was actually above her!
"Sister Yu, the monk in white is the Buddhist python god who escaped from Lingshan to the human world. As for that mysterious man..."
Li Daoxuan thought of the human seed bag in the hands of the tree demon, his eyes moved, and he said: "It should also have a great connection with Lingshan."
"No wonder."
Chen Ziyu was relieved.
"After that person took away my human soul, he sealed my memory, took me to Lanruo Temple, and handed me over to the tree demon. He lied to me that I was the female ghost Xiaoqian, but he didn't force me to do anything. Then The dryad just keeps tempting me to help her hunt."
Hearing this, Li Daoxuan had a huge doubt in his heart.
If the other party extracted Sister Yu's human soul to intensify the conflict between him and the demon monk so that he could sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, then why did he insist on bringing Sister Yu's human soul to Lanruo Temple and name it Nie Xiaoqian?
It was as if that person knew the story of A Chinese Ghost Story and had the intention to let it play out.
This is so weird and makes absolutely no sense.
What is the other party's purpose?
Sister Yu’s lotus body?
Not really!
Because when it extracted the human soul, Sister Yu had no power to resist. However, Sister Yu's true body in the crystal coffin was still Yunying's body, flawless.
The other party spent so much effort and went around a long way just to see A Chinese Ghost Story?
Li Daoxuan himself didn't believe it.
"Sister Yu, is there anyone you suspect?"
The tree demon is dead, and Li Daoxuan hopes to get some new clues from Sister Yu.
Chen Ziyu thought about it carefully and said: "The tree demon and the Black Mountain Old Demon have close ties. Every first month of the month, the Black Mountain Old Demon comes to Lanruo Temple. Maybe he knows something."
Yan Chixia was shocked when she heard the words "Black Mountain Old Demon".
The master's biggest regret at that time was that he could not kill the old demon of Black Mountain. He had been practicing swordsmanship for many years, dreaming of one day fulfilling his master's last wish.
"You want to deal with the old monster from Montenegro? Count me in!"
"Also... count me in."
Ning Caichen followed.
Chen Ziyu suddenly looked at him and said in a cold voice: "It's all this scholar's fault. If he hadn't been meddling in other people's business, Li Daoxuan would have captured the tree demon just now and searched for its soul. Maybe he would have been able to find out the person behind the scenes. !”
Her hair slowly grew longer.
"Do you want to kill him?"
Li Daoxuan smiled bitterly, which was really Sister Yu's usual style.
Looking at Ning Caichen, whose eyes were full of apologies, he waved his hand and said, "That's all, Brother Ning also did bad things with good intentions."
Chen Ziyu snorted coldly and stopped talking.
"Brother Yan, it will be the first month of the month in three days. You stay at Lanruo Temple, and I will bring Sister Yu's human soul back to her body first. After three days, we will follow Sister Yu's instructions and capture the old Black Mountain demon first."
Yan Chixia looked excited and said: "Okay!"
Li Daoxuan nodded and smiled, and then the void around him rippled, and ripples appeared. A portal appeared like water waves, and he could see a magnificent underwater palace opposite.
Yuxuan Palace!
Yan Chixia was shocked. You must know that Yuxuan Palace is at the bottom of Xiaoxiang Water, which is more than six thousand miles away. However, the other party just joins hands with the beautiful woman and takes one step, and it is so close to the end of the world, moving the world.
This miraculous method was simply unheard of, and he was amazed.
In a daze, he remembered something his master had said to him.
"Living in the same era as him and being the same age as him, this is your luck and your misfortune."
…
Yuxuan Palace.
As Sister Yu's human soul entered the lotus body, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she slowly opened her eyes.
The body is flowing, every hair is rippling with fairy light, the red skirt is like a ball of flames burning under the water, and the lotus mark between the eyebrows shines brightly.
At this moment, the entire Xiaoxiang waters were surging with waves, and heavy rain fell from the sky, as if to celebrate the awakening of this goddess.
The process went very smoothly without any outside interruption.
She stretched out her hand and countless petals flew out, turning into a white umbrella with lotus-like patterns outlined on it.
After taking the magic weapon, she said murderously: "Let's go back and get the old Black Mountain demon!"
Li Daoxuan did not move, with a solemn look on his face, he waved his hand to set up layers of barriers, and said: "Sister Yu, don't you think everything is going smoothly?"
"It seems like there is an invisible hand pushing quietly. I think we have fallen into a trap."
Chen Ziyu was stunned for a moment without any rebuttal. She chose to believe in Li Daoxuan's intuition.
This is the tacit understanding and trust that the two have developed over many years of fighting side by side.
"what have you found?"
Li Daoxuan nodded and said: "I do have some new ideas about the person behind the scenes, but I'm not sure yet."
Chen Ziyu's answer was crisp and clear.
"What do you want me to do?"
Li Daoxuan came close to her ear and whispered something.
After hearing this, Chen Ziyu was slightly shocked and showed a strange expression, but she immediately nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do it now!"
After Sister Yu left, Li Daoxuan wrote another letter and used the power of moving stars to exchange for battles, and instantly sent it to Chang Le in Chang'an.
After Changle saw the letter, he immediately classified it as top secret and mobilized all the bad guys and Hidden Dragons to complete what the letter ordered.
The entire Tang Dynasty was in full swing.
…
