Li Daoxuan stretched out a finger, and the swaddled baby girl immediately stretched out her pink little hand and grasped his finger, laughing loudly and sweetly.
On the white and tender wrist, there was a clearly visible red line, emitting a faint red light.
Li Daoxuan looked at her, feeling a sense of intimacy in his heart.
Yang Xuanyan's face turned green when he saw this scene.
The other servants also looked sideways, with the looming fire of gossip in their eyes.
For those who didn’t know this scene of loving father and daughter, they would have thought that the man in white clothes and gold belt was the young lady’s father...
But it's strange, how come a young lady who has never cried or made trouble since she was born, and is as wooden as a tree, is so happy in front of this person?
"You, who are you and why did you break into my daughter's room!"
"I'm warning you. Since Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, we have not been afraid of demons and evil spirits. If you dare to be rude, don't blame me. I will report it to the governor and please correct the bad people!"
His words were partly a threat and partly a sign of real confidence.
Now is the seventh year of Kaiyuan. His Majesty is wise and powerful, working hard to govern, and has the legacy of Taizong, which has made the Tang Dynasty, which was already rich in history, one step further and achieved an unprecedented prosperous age.
Kaiyuan prosperous age!
It has exerted pressure on all directions and attracted all nations, whether it is economy, military, agriculture, literature, law, astronomy, etc., it has reached a very high level.
"Tongdian Shihuodian" records that the price of rice has reached thirteen liters and the grain has reached five liters. From then on, there is no precious thing in the world.
Recalling the heyday of Kaiyuan in the past, there were still thousands of families in the small town. The rice is dripping with fat and the corn is white, and both the public and private warehouses are abundant.
People no longer consider how to fill their stomachs, but how to satisfy more spiritual needs. On this basis, literature and art flourish and stars shine.
Datang became a beacon to the world, and Chang'an became the most prosperous city in the world.
The two words "Tang people" have long become a kind of pride.
No matter you are a human, a ghost or a god, you want to attack the people of the Tang Dynasty, or you are an official of the Tang Dynasty, you must always think about it. Is it because the bad guy's sword is not fast enough, or is it that the Changle ancestor's whip cannot be used?
Li Daoxuan smiled slightly and said: "Master Yang, I wonder if there are often many beast corpses in front of Ling Qianjin's door these days?"
Yang Xuanyan's complexion changed slightly.
"And do the servants in your mansion often see ghosts and ghosts and hear some kind of sound like the roar of a wild beast?"
Yang Xuanyan was shocked.
Because everything this person said is true.
"Does the Taoist Master know the reason?"
His title was much more polite, but still with a hint of scrutiny.
Li Dao
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of gongs, drums and suona suddenly sounded outside the door, which was very festive, as if someone was welcoming a bride.
But who would choose to welcome their bride in the middle of the night?
"Master Yang, others have given you gifts for six days, and now you are ready to ask for them."
Immediately afterwards, the sound of the suona got closer and closer. It sounded festive, but it was particularly permeable at night.
A wedding team entered the gate of Yang Mansion and headed towards Yang Yuhuan's room. Some people beat gongs, some played drums, and some carried sedans. But everyone's expressions were very stiff. If you look closely, you can see their toes. It didn't seem to touch the ground.
Under the moonlight, the entire welcoming team looked extremely strange and inexplicably cold.
The torches in the hands of many servants flickered and dimmed suddenly, and many people shuddered.
"How dare you, who are you? Anyone who allows you to enter my house, get out!"
After all, Yang Xuanyan was the sihu of Shuzhou. He was still calm at the critical moment and stood up and scolded.
The lively sound of gongs and drums suddenly stopped, and the surroundings fell into silence. Those carrying the sedan chair to welcome the bride all looked at Yang Xuanyan, with a smile on their face, but their eyes were as dark as ink, without any emotion.
At this time a voice sounded.
"It's useless, Mr. Yang. The betrothal gift has been given, and they will naturally take the daughter back. If you forcefully stop it, I'm afraid this happy event will turn into nothing."
Li Daoxuan shook his head and smiled.
Yang Xuanyan trembled all over, and lightning flashed in his mind. He thought of the various delicacies and game that often appeared in front of his daughter's room these days, and finally woke up.
Those things... turned out to be betrothal gifts!
When he thought of this, he became furious.
Damn it, my daughter has just been born, and someone dares to take advantage of her!
"Taoist Priest, please save my daughter. I will repay you with a lot of money!"
He could only ask for help from this white-clothed Taoist priest. After all, he seemed to be a real Taoist, and he was extremely popular. He should not be a charlatan.
"Don't worry, your daughter is destined to be a poor Taoist. I am here this time to help her become a monk."
Regardless of whether you enter Buddhism or Taoism, you can be called a monk. Of course, monks of the Longhu Mountain Zhengdao can also practice at home, which is more general.
Yang Xuanyan was startled, but he quickly made a choice. One was to become a monk or the other to get married. Any fool knew which one to choose.
If he were to become a nun, he might still have to hesitate, but the man in white just said that he was a Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain, so there would be nothing to worry about.
The Tang Dynasty respected Taoism as the state religion. Although Master Xuanzang promoted Mahayana Buddhism in recent years, which made Buddhism great and seemed to be rising, Taoism still maintained its dominance.
And Longhu Mountain is the leader in Taoism. Even the only national preceptor since the founding of the Tang Dynasty came from Longhu Mountain.
It would be an opportunity for my daughter to become a disciple of Longhu Mountain.
Hearing Li Daoxuan's words, those carrying the sedan looked at him one after another. The dark wind hit him, but they automatically stopped three feet in front of Li Daoxuan and turned invisible.
"You're just a paper man, how dare you show off?"
Li Daoxuan laughed loudly, and then breathed out gently.
boom!
In an instant, the strong wind roared, and the Nine Heavens Gang Wind was like ten thousand knives scraping the bones, directly blowing the group of people welcoming the bride to pieces, turning them into paper figures and scattering everywhere. The sedan chair was also made of paper.
When people saw those paper figures, they gasped.
Paper figures and paper sedans, aren't they all used for visiting graves?
"Taoist Master, is this solved?"
Yang Xuanyan looked at the paper figures scattered on the ground and asked with some worry: "Will they come back to life again?"
Li Dao Get rid of it, so as not to attract some unclean things to the house."
Yang Xuanyan quickly ordered people to collect the paper figures and burn them on fire. After watching them turn into ashes, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Taoist Master, for your life-saving grace!"
At this moment, he didn't know that he had met an expert. He had eliminated so many evil ghosts with just a blow. This person's cultivation was truly unfathomable.
My daughter is truly blessed!
Li Daoxuan shook his head and said: "Don't thank me in a hurry. This matter is not over yet. In fact, you are also responsible for this matter."
Yang Xuanyan was stunned. Is it because of me?
Li Daoxuan chanted Xuanyin, which was majestic and majestic, faintly resonating with the heaven and earth, and the great road was consistent.
"I have ordered you, the mountain god of Fengqi Mountain, the city god of Shuzhou, and the land to meet you soon."
Yang Xuanyan looked at the quiet night around him, and couldn't help but wonder. The mountain god, the city god, and the land were all gods who protected the area. They had noble status, so why did they come here late at night?
However, at the next moment, three streams of light flew over. A man was tall and tall, with thick beard and hair. He looked like a black bear transformed into a spirit. He was the mountain god of Fengqi Mountain.
The Shuzhou City God was wearing an official uniform and a black gauze hat, with a solemn face and a trace of shock that was difficult to conceal in his eyes.
The last Earth Lord still looked like an old man with a fluttering white beard, and his eyes looked at Li Daoxuan with a hint of trepidation.
Just now, he was still dealing with official duties, and suddenly he felt a vast power coming. There was almost no room for resistance, and he was teleported here.
The City God and the Mountain God of Fengqi Mountain felt the same way. They looked at each other and could see the horror in each other's eyes.
Even in the Yangshen realm, it is impossible to capture three gods at the same time.
When the Mountain God of Fengqi Mountain saw that he was actually in Yang Xuanyan's house, his expression changed again.
"The little god pays homage to the immortal!"
Not daring to put on any airs, they bowed to Li Daoxuan.
Yang Xuanyan took a breath of air and looked at Li Daoxuan in disbelief.
Incredible, is there really a god in my house?
"Fengqi Mountain God, this is Yang Xuanyan whom you want to marry. Why don't you say hello when you see her?"
Li Daoxuan smiled.
The mountain god's heart trembled, knowing that nothing could be hidden from this white-clothed Taoist. It was estimated that the paper figures he sent to pick up the bride were already in danger.
"Shangxian Rongzhen, this matter is not a deception by the little god, but an agreement with this Lord Yang Xuanyan."
Yang Xuanyan himself was depressed. His daughter had just been born, so how could he get engaged to someone else?
The mountain god looked at him and said, "Master Yang, have you forgotten what you said in the mountain temple a month ago?"
Yang Xuanyan said doubtfully: "I did go to the mountain temple a month ago to pray for my wife, but, I didn't say anything about making an engagement..."
The mountain god said angrily: "You are a dignified official of the imperial court, how can you go back on your word? When you saw my son's statue that day, did you say something: This son has a handsome appearance. Wouldn't it be beautiful if he could be your son-in-law?"
"Yes and no?"
After his reminder, Yang Xuanyan had a flash of inspiration and finally remembered, but he was extremely aggrieved and said: "I just sighed casually, does this count?"
At that time, he saw that the statue of the son of the mountain god was quite handsome, and he thought that it would be best if his wife could give birth to such a son. If she gave birth to a daughter, it would be a good thing to have such a son-in-law in the future.
However, an unintentional remark happened to be heard by the mountain god, who regarded it as an engagement.
The birth of Yang Yuhuan, ordinary people thought it was nothing, but these ghosts and gods were aware of it. When the girl was born, the sky was full of sunshine, and the fragrance lasted for three days, and the luck of the entire Shuzhou increased.
There will definitely be great achievements in the future!
I don't know how many pairs of eyes are quietly staring at the Yang Mansion, and one of them is the Mountain God. He has made up his mind to take the first step and make her his daughter-in-law based on the old "engagement contract".
Being young is not a problem, you can marry her as a child bride first.
Li Dao
"Today, the city god and the land are all here, and Pindao is also a witness. How about letting this matter go?"
Both sides are at fault in this matter. Yang Xuanyan should not speak freely in the temple. You must know that there are gods three feet above your head. It may seem like a joke to you, but ghosts and gods may take it seriously.
The mountain god is suspected of forcing him and has impure motives.
The city god and the land both bowed their hands and said respectfully: "We obey the order of the immortal!"
The mountain god was a little unhappy. He pulled his neck and said: "Taoist priest, I know that you have great magic power and that the little god is no match for you, but this has been decided, how can you go back on it!"
He considers himself to be a righteous god who has been canonized by the imperial court. He is not a heretic, and the other party should be wary of it.
Li Daoxuan looked at him with a half-smile, and said, "So you don't want to betray me just to save face?"
The mountain god's heart trembled, but he still said forcefully: "I have no regrets about my marriage. Even if you kill the little god and my soul goes to the underworld to see the emperor, I will still say the same thing!"
Li Daoxuan sighed lightly.
"Then I'll give you a ride."
With a little finger, the fairy light flowed between his fingers, penetrated the layers of divine power barriers, and landed on the mountain god's eyebrows.
The mountain god of Fengqi Mountain, who had just appeared in a stone body and tried to resist, was shaken, and his whole body collapsed, turning into falling rocks. The mountain god seal floated in Li Daoxuan's palm, and he put it away casually.
"This this……"
The hearts of the city god and the earth trembled. Although the mountain god of Fengqi Mountain was not yet in the realm of yang god, he was at the peak of yin god, and even half-stepped into yang god.
In the end, he couldn't even block it with a finger?
Li Dao
However, he did not let his soul fly away, but gave him the opportunity to be reincarnated.
Alas, as people get older, they are not as murderous as they were when they were young.
I'm so kind.
…
Li Dao
After that, he looked at the city god and the land again.
"I ask you two to take good care of her during these seven years."
The city god and the land nodded quickly, not daring to refuse at all.
Li Daoxuan nodded, turned around and was about to leave, but heard Yang Xuanyan's voice.
"Sir, may I ask your name? When my daughter grows up, we can let her know who her benefactor is."
Li Dao
"Pindao Taichong, his common name is Li Daoxuan."
"It turns out to be Li——"
Yang Xuanyan's voice suddenly stopped.
Li what?
Li Daoxuan! ! !
Not only him, but the Shuzhou City God and the land also suddenly raised their heads and stared at the figure in white clothes and gold belt.
Strands of flawless fairy light circulated, and the night sky suddenly became as bright as day. A figure like a god was vaguely visible, stepping on the auspicious clouds and riding on the wind.
The glow lasts for a long time.
Yang Xuanyan was extremely excited. The national master turned out to be the national master!
He ran to his daughter and laughed as if he were looking at a rare treasure.
After laughing for a moment, he finally recovered and quickly put the ring-shaped jade pendant presented by the imperial master into his daughter's hand. Seeing his daughter holding the jade pendant tightly, his eyes were filled with emotion.
"I didn't expect that my daughter, Yang Xuanyan, could become a disciple of the Imperial Master!"
"Ring-shaped jade pendant..."
"Good daughter, from now on you will be called... Yuhuan."
