Chapter Thirty-Nine The Legend of the Skylark
early morning.
Li Daoxuan opened his eyes, his eyes were as bright as a mirror, and there was a faint feeling of electricity in the empty room.
He practiced all night!
"So this is monasticism? It's so...comfortable!"
Li Dao
Moreover, once he fell into trance, he spent the whole night without any fatigue or sleepiness at all.
This is also the benefit of entering the early stage of inedia. You will always be energetic and tireless, which is equivalent to having an indestructible kidney.
Just breaking through the lower Dantian was so magical. Li Daoxuan is now looking forward to it. What will happen when the middle Dantian and Upper Dantian are cleared?
To collect his thoughts, he washed up first, then strode, meditated, and practiced swordsmanship as usual...
The days became calm again, and Li Daoxuan resumed his life as before.
During this period, people from the government did come, but their attitude was very polite and they looked at Li Daoxuan in awe.
Later, even the magistrate of Xinyang County came in person and said that Li Daoxuan had done great work in exterminating demons. He also recommended him to see the governor, but Li Daoxuan declined.
Finally, the county magistrate personally asked someone to make a plaque, wrote the four characters "Zhenyang Taoist Temple" in his own hand, and ordered someone to hang it up.
Since then, Li Daoxuan has discovered that when he goes out on the street again, the attitude of the people around him is much better, and sometimes people will take the initiative to chat with him.
In this world where demons exist, it is difficult for local people to get the care of court mages. At this time, if a Taoist priest with real skills settles down, the local people will still welcome it.
Of course, there are also some evil monks who regard human life as nothing, and are deeply hated by the people. The former master and disciple Li Daoxuan were regarded as evil cultivators by them.
Time flies like an arrow, and the sun and moon fly like a shuttle.
In the blink of an eye, it was already ten days later.
"When the Tao rushes into use, it may not be full, and the abyss is like the origin of all things. Defeat its sharpness, resolve its confusion, harmonize its light, and share its dust..."
In the Zhenyang Taoist Temple, Li Daoxuan is holding a scroll in his hand, leaning under a willow tree, and is reading seriously. His voice is clear and clear, like a gurgling stream, which makes people feel inexplicably quiet after listening to it, and their irritability is swept away.
What he read was not the Four Books and Five Classics, but the Tao Te Ching by Laozi, the founder of Taoism.
Since the early stage of fasting, he would take an hour every day to recite various Taoist scriptures. Every time he finished reading, he felt calm and calm, and his inner lake became more and more transparent like a mirror that was constantly wiped.
Wipe it frequently to avoid dust.
inside the house.
The oil-paper umbrella opened quietly at some point. Chen Ziyu held the umbrella and stood quietly by the window, listening to Li Daoxuan's chanting.
I don’t know since when, whenever Li Daoxuan chanted sutras, she would listen quietly and concentrate.
When Li Daoxuan finishes chanting, she will return to the umbrella.
But today, when Li Daoxuan finished chanting, she did not go back. Instead, she raised her eyes and looked at a skylark sitting quietly on the treetop.
The skylark seemed to be very spiritual. It stood on the treetop and listened to Li Daoxuan's chanting. It had been motionless for an hour.
Outside the house, Li Daoxuan also noticed something was wrong.
He glanced at the skylark calmly, put away the book, and quietly found a Five Thunder Talisman in his hand.
What a bold monster, how dare you break into Zhenyang Taoist Temple?
At this time, Zhang Qianyang, who was very drunk, suddenly opened his eyes, smiled at Li Daoxuan and said, "Don't worry, disciple."
The smell of alcohol dissipated from his body, and he smiled at the skylark and said, "Long time no see, little bird. I sent you here, but what are your orders?"
Skylark raised its head proudly, flapped its wings and landed on Zhang Qianyang's shoulder, chirping in confusion.
A trace of surprise flashed in Zhang Qianyang's eyes, he thought for a moment and said: "I see, thank you for your love, but I am old and have lost the interest in these things when I was young. So, I got a good disciple recently, so I will Let him take a trip for me."
Skylark turned to look at Li Daoxuan, then flew up and circled several times above Li Daoxuan's head, seeming to be sizing him up.
Finally it nodded, flapped its wings and flew into the sky, quickly disappearing.
…
Li Daoxuan looked at his master and said: "Master, that bird..."
Zhang Qianyang smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, Xiaoque'er is not an ordinary monster. It was once enlightened by the empress in green and taught the secret method of immortality. Not only does it have no evil spirit, but it has immortal roots."
The Empress in Tsing Yi...
Li Dao
"What you saw just now is not Xiao Queer's real body, it's just one of her countless incarnations."
After a pause, Zhang Qianyang smiled at his apprentice and said: "Little Que'er is born with spiritual eyes and the ability to predict qi. She speaks highly of you, saying that your luck is amazing and your bones are quite immortal. Tsk tsk. Ever since I met her as a teacher, you have been able to You are the second person to receive such high praise."
"Who's the first one?"
There was a hint of sadness in Zhang Qianyang's eyes, as if he was remembering some sad past event.
"The first one is your senior sister, who is also the first disciple, but now...she has betrayed Longhu Mountain."
Li Daoxuan was stunned. This was the first time he knew that he actually had a senior sister who had also betrayed Longhu Mountain.
"That's all, don't mention her anymore."
Zhang Qianyang waved his hands, and his whole person seemed to feel a lot depressed all of a sudden.
He walked into the house, took out a dozen black jars, handed them to Li Daoxuan and said: "These are the souls of the deceased who have been saved by my master recently. You can take them to the Qingyi Empress Temple and let them be reincarnated."
Seeing Li Daoxuan's confused look, Zhang Qianyang remembered that he hadn't explained clearly what Xiao Que'er had explained.
"The Empress in Tsing Yi is about to hold a banquet. The venue is in Yuzhang City, three hundred miles away. She invited me to attend, but I have other things to do as a teacher, so you can go there for me."
Li Daoxuan was a little surprised. The banquet of the Empress in Tsing Yi...
Are you about to see a ghost and fairy up close?
"Master, I remember that you can send the soul of the dead directly to the Empress in Tsing Yi for reincarnation?"
Zhang Qianyang hummed: "Send the dish to Qing Ming, it means going through the back door with the old face of being a teacher. It's okay once in a while, but if it happens more often, the face is worthless."
Li Daoxuan nodded and put these jars into the Three Realms Gourd.
"Since you are about to meet the Empress in Tsing Yi, I will tell you some of her origins, so that you will not make a fool of yourself then."
Li Daoxuan's eyes lit up. He was very curious about the ghost and fairy empress who had lived for nearly a thousand years, so he was naturally all ears.
"The Empress in Tsing Yi was originally the daughter of a prefect in the early Han Dynasty. She was naturally psychic and could predict changes in the heavens. She predicted disasters many times and saved many people in Yuzhang City."
"But the secret of heaven must not be leaked, otherwise you will be punished by heaven. A plague soon broke out in the city. Some people say that it was because the empress in green had leaked the secret of heaven many times that God punished Yuzhang City."
"In the end, the Queen in Tsing Yi was willing to sacrifice herself and burned herself in Yuzhang City. The plague soon dissipated. People were grateful for her sacrifice and built a temple for her. In the past thousand years, the incense has been endless. Because she liked to wear Tsing Yi during her lifetime, she was called She is the empress in blue."

After hearing the experience of the Tsing Yi Empress, Li Daoxuan felt a little emotional, she was indeed a kind god.
No wonder Master once said that after the gods and Buddhas disappeared, the underworld was divided into three parts. In addition to the Queen in Tsing Yi, the Void Belly Ghost King and the Black Mountain Old Demon were both very cruel. If the souls of the dead went to them, not only would they not be able to be reborn, they would probably be tortured extremely. miserable.
"Okay, without further ado, it's still early, so hurry up and set off!"
"Yes, Master!"
After Li Daoxuan packed his bags and left, looking at his back, Zhang Qianyang let out a long sigh, with a bit of loneliness in his eyes.
He drank for a long time, and with a bit of drunkenness, he cursed: "Damn girl, don't you always shout... to ask Master to find you a junior brother? Now that the junior brother has one, his qualifications are no worse than yours." ...But you ran away..."
