This time, Zhang Xiaolong was secretly anxious again. Looking at this posture, he still didn’t know who would win and who would lose...
Just when he was anxious, he heard a voice in his ear: "The demon turtle is fierce, and it is difficult to get rid of it underwater. If you have a sword to hold it back, don't worry. You can come ashore first."
When Zhang Xiaolong heard this, he knew that it must be the Taoist priest's magical power. He didn't care about the sword or the beast at the moment, he just spread his hands and feet and swam towards the water in a hurry.
Not long after, I reached the river surface, and when I exhaled a breath of turbidity in my chest, I saw arms on the bank waving, and there was a lot of people shouting, among which someone shouted: "Little dragon, come up to the bank quickly!"
Looking at the familiar figures on the shore, for a moment, he felt as if he was in another world. Excited, he opened his hands again and swam towards the shore quickly.
When his feet were firmly planted, he let out a long sigh and fell to the ground as soft as mud.
Everyone saw Zhang Xiaolong collapse from a distance and thought he was injured. Several people rushed over and helped him to Li Xuan. After taking a closer look, they heaved a sigh of relief.
At this time, the old man came over and asked: "Xiaolong, how is the situation at the bottom of the river? Where is the water monster?"
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaolong looked ashamed: "Dad Zhang, it's all my fault. Instead of getting rid of the water monster, I lost the magic weapon given by the Taoist Master under the water!"
After saying that, his honest head bowed deeply and he stopped talking.
After Zhang Xiaolong said this, everyone's faces turned pale: If the water monster is not dead, it will definitely come to the shore to take revenge. Everyone understands this truth.
"Hey! What can we do? Now that the Taoist priest has lost his treasure, he is like a tiger without teeth. If the water monster really comes ashore to take revenge, how can we people resist it?" After the old man finished speaking, he thought of what was happening in front of him.
People were about to lose their lives, and they couldn't help but feel sad, and two lines of tears flowed out.
After Li Xuan and others finished speaking, he smiled and said: "Everyone, don't panic, that water monster is just a stubborn and stupid creature, how capable it can be, not to mention, since my sword is a treasure, how can it be lost so casually?
?”
When everyone heard Li Xuan's words in sorrow, they immediately put away their sad faces with some doubts and doubts, and looked at him one after another.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Li Xuan was secretly amused. In fact, from the time Zhang Xiaolong entered the water to when he landed, he knew all the big and small things. Even this little thing could make him worry? What about his methods?
Is it something a mortal can understand? Asking Zhang Xiaolong to get rid of the demon was just to test his temperament and courage. If he was not sure of getting rid of the demon, he would never let an ordinary person take this risk; but there was
It was also beyond his expectation. He thought that an incompetent demon turtle couldn't stand up to the power of a purple electric sword. Who would have thought that this thing actually inherited the advantages of a turtle, was naturally powerful, invulnerable, and could spit poisonous mist.
Not only is it a match for the Purple Lightning Sword, but the sword body may also be contaminated.
At that moment, Li Xuan didn't say anything. He was just fighting in Bugang. He seemed to be mumbling some words. He moved his hands to the river a few times. He saw the river surging, and in a moment, a purple light rushed diagonally from the river.
came out, circled in the air, and flew into Li Xuan's hands.
When everyone saw this scene, they all looked at Li Xuan's hand, and saw that what he was holding was not the sword from before? However, at this time, the sword seemed to be missing a trace of agility, and its brilliance was much dimmed. If you look closely, you will see.
I found that the two-finger-wide sword seemed to be covered with a faint layer of residual green, which gave people a very uncoordinated feeling.
Li Xuan looked at the filthy sword that he had made at random, and sighed slightly in his heart. With his ability, if it weren't for the materials, any sword could open up the world, not to mention that this Kingdom of God is his own... At the moment, this sword is being used
Contamination is determined by the texture of the sword body. If a small amount of dark iron crystals or fire-based materials can be added, how can it be so easily contaminated? It is even easy to break the hard shell of the water monster!
Thinking about it, Li Xuan felt slightly unhappy, then he saw him gently turning the sword upside down and blowing on it. Immediately the filth was gone, and the majestic purple light began to flow flexibly again.
Before everyone could cheer, an earth-shattering roar was heard from the distant river. Amid the turbulent waves, the river boiled. In an instant, a huge creature with a turtle body and a snake head emerged from the water, with eight short and thick legs.
A huge wave rose up, and the huge head looked up to the sky and roared, with sharp teeth, and a pair of giant eyes flashing with a frightening fierce light, looking straight towards the crowd. When the fierce light swept across Li Xuan, who was standing indifferently, the giant eyes suddenly flashed
After a moment of hesitation.
It is said that when the demon turtle was so angry, it made such a fuss in the river, and the power of the dragon turtle suddenly appeared. At this time, looking around, I saw the torrent rolling on the river, and the water was surging. The sky was filled with water, and the water was surging.
The roar is like churning the sea and turning the river. The diffuse area is comparable to the torrent of Longmen, but the insignificant ground is like the Qutang of Wu Gorge. The roaring anger is like the waves of Poyang Lake, and the surging waves are not as vast as the Qiantang River. No matter what the natural chasms and ditches are,
, they are all so dangerous: even the entrance to Haimen is only so vast. Fortunately, Li Xuan and others are on a high ground, so the water will not spread.
In the vast smoke, the demon turtle was dozens of feet tall, but its claws were sharp, its scales were shiny, and its furry green hair was swaying left and right in the waves, making it look eerie and strange.
"Run! The water monster is coming for revenge..." Someone shouted, and everyone immediately scattered like headless flies. In the blink of an eye, they were gone. Except for the fierce figure of the water monster,
The entire river bank became surprisingly quiet.
After taking one look at the ferocious look of the demon turtle, Li Xuan didn't panic and asked directly behind him: "Why don't you leave?"
As soon as Li Xuan finished speaking, he heard a voice: "The Taoist priest is here to get rid of harm for us people this time. If I leave the Taoist priest and walk away, then it will not be my character, Zhang Xiaolong!" In the voice,
Zhang Xiaolong slowly walked out from behind a rock next to Li Xuan. Although he looked tired, his eyes revealed a perseverance and toughness that looked forward to death.
Li Xuanxian showed admiration as he looked at the tall man walking next to him.
"Yes, yes! With your temperament and my heart, since you dare to stay with me, you are probably determined to die, but how can I let that idiot get his wish?"
As soon as Li Xuan finished speaking, before he could point his sword and fly away, the demon turtle had already sprayed a breath of green air towards him. In the gentle river wind, it was like clouds and mist, condensing and not dissipating. Before it arrived, it was already there.
The stench is astounding to the nostrils and makes one feel nauseous.
When Li Xuan saw this, he didn't panic. He swung his long sleeves and a purple light came out from the soles of his feet, protecting his body. He then summoned purple lightning and flew straight towards the demon turtle's head.
But he said that the demon turtle was originally a feminine creature under the water. At first, he felt the pure yang aura of Li Xuan's body and the special power of the deceased. Under the conflict between yin and yang, he was already a little hesitant, but its majesty and fierceness accumulated over a long period of time were not the same.
Is he just trying to escape? When he saw that his poisonous energy was ineffective, another purple sword light flew towards him. He had experienced this sword light before, so he didn't panic at the moment. He raised his body in the air, roared, and suddenly his whole body turned green.
The hair stood on end, the green light in his eyes was strong, he opened his mouth and sprayed out, and a poisonous mist much thicker than before spewed out. It was as thick as ink and as black as paint, spreading out in all directions and permeating around it, like a poisonous mist.
It was used for self-protection. When he opened his mouth and sprayed it, he saw hailstones all over the sky. The hailstones were as big as footballs and densely packed. They whizzed and hit the place where Li Xuan was. The sound was fierce and spectacular.
As soon as Zhang Xiaolong saw this posture, he hurriedly hid behind the big stone and was about to call out to Li Xuan when he saw the huge hail mixed with green mist in the sky, already in front of Li Xuan, but before he could get close, it was easy for him to be covered by the layer of purple light.
The outside melts away, and when the river wind blows, it turns into bursts of mist and disperses.
Seeing that his attack was ineffective, the demon turtle seemed to become furious. He opened his mouth to absorb the poisonous mist. In mid-air, he twisted his huge body, bared his teeth and claws, and tried to pounce down. Unexpectedly, the body just moved, and it fell.
Feeling the dazzling purple light in front of his eyes, he quickly tilted the giant. Before it could figure out what was going on, there was a sharp pain in the right foot. In the bloody storm, a six-seven-meter-long giant foot fell into the middle of the river.
The river water beneath him was dyed red, and his animal heart suddenly woke up. He knew that he had encountered a tough enemy today, and he ignored his own pain and that person, and just plunged his body towards the river surface, as if he was trying to escape.
Unexpectedly, there is a purple light sticking tightly behind it, trembling, the light is scattered, as if it may fall to the river at any time.
Li Xuan saw this and hurriedly moved his hand, and the sword light flew back to his hand. But seeing that the purple electric sword at this time had lost all its light, and its whole body was covered with dirty blood, he felt slightly sad when he held it in his hand.
Wow. It seems that the body blood of the demon turtle is much more powerful than the poisonous mist it spits out. Although the demon turtle's leg was cut off, it was also defiled by the demon blood to the point where it almost lost its spirituality.
After receiving the purple lightning, Li Xuan frowned slightly, and a trace of emotion arose spontaneously. It was not that he couldn't kill the monster, but that he separated his will and entered the Kingdom of God in order to seek enlightenment, so his strength at the moment is indeed not special.
He is strong, and he cannot be too aggressive in his performance, otherwise he will be kicked out of the Kingdom of God.
Looking at Li Xuan's expression, Zhang Xiaolong was a little surprised. It was obvious that the monster had been chopped off one of its legs and its ruin was exposed, but why was it still looking like this? In confusion, just as he was about to ask, he saw Li Xuan make a handprint.
, patted his waist lightly, and shouted "Go". As soon as he finished speaking, before Zhang Xiaolong could see clearly, something flew up from Li Xuan's waist, and in the blink of an eye, it was hundreds of feet away from the ground, surrounded by purple and green, thin and thin
It turned out to be a gourd the size of a palm.
At the moment when the gourd flew up, the demon turtle just happened to land on the river. When he saw the thing in the air, it seemed to have sensed the danger. It turned around suddenly and moved its seven legs together, intending to disappear.
But how could Li Xuan do what he wanted? He pointed his sword towards the river and shouted, "How long will it take if I don't accept this thing?" Suddenly, the gourd turned around automatically,
A ray of yellow light shot out from the mouth of the gourd, covering the water monster that had only half its shell left in the deserted river. Pulling and pulling, the water monster started to struggle violently, but the waves were surging, and it had a tendency to escape from the shackles of the yellow light.
Come to think of it, even though he is naturally fierce, he is not so easy to subdue.
This gourd was naturally refined by Li Xuan at will, but half of the crystal of faith power was fused into this gourd, which is still very extraordinary in terms of ability.
Seeing the water monster Youzi resisted desperately, Li Xuan calmly flew a purple talisman towards the gourd. However, seeing the colorful light flowing on the surface of the gourd, the pulling force suddenly increased, and with a shrill and unwilling roar, the huge thing turned into a talisman.
A beam of black energy was thrown into the gourd, and the gourd spun left and right in the air a few more times. Wind and fire came together inside, and Xu Yangjian ground a living demon turtle into a pile of powder.
Once the demon turtle was eliminated, the wind and waves suddenly became calm on the river, as if the sky had changed.
Li Xuan called back the gourd and hung it on his waist again. Then he smiled at Zhang Xiaolong who was stunned on the spot and said, "Okay, okay, I have removed the water monster. Why don't you go and report the news?" After Zi Gu finished speaking, he nodded.
He didn't even turn around and leave.
He hadn't gone far when he heard a voice calling from behind: "Master Immortal, please wait a moment..." As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Xiaolong was seen running up to him. Before Li Xuan could ask any questions, he went forward and knelt down, saluted and bowed heavily.
Keep kowtowing.
Li Xuan stopped and asked with a smile: "Little brother! The harm has been eliminated, why are you like this?"
"Please, Master Immortal, accept me as your disciple, please Master Immortal, accept me as your disciple..." Zhang Xiaolong said, and he knocked hard again, expressing his sincerity.
"Get up first! Tell me, why do you want to worship me?"
Hearing Li Xuan ask him why he became a disciple, Zhang Xiaolong couldn't help but look sad and said: "I have lost my parents since I was a child, and I relied on my neighbors to raise me, so I became what I am today, but I don't want to spend my whole life like this.
I must learn skills and do something in the future so that I can repay these folks who are so kind to me!"
After I finished speaking, I burst into tears.
Facing the burly man on the ground, Li Xuan smiled and said: "Get up! For a person as ambitious as you, what can I, a wandering Taoist priest, do to help you? I am a Taoist priest, except for being able to deceive others.
What ability do you have to help you achieve such a great cause? I think you should find someone else, maybe you can really succeed." After that, he left again.
"Immortal Master! I know you have immortal magic. I am not greedy to win people. I just ask the immortal master to be compassionate and give you some advice.
Immortal Master, please accept me. If the Immortal Master does not accept me, there is no point in living like this. I might as well be happy by throwing myself into the river!" After Zhang Xiaolong said this, he actually ran towards the river. Look at that,
It's really not false.
In fact, the reason why Zhang Xiaolong is so enthusiastic about practicing Taoism has some historical background. That is, in the past few decades when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth suddenly became abundant, many warriors broke through the limitations of the human body and returned to their innate martial arts supreme.
realm, and thus glimpsed the existence of that way. Similarly, some animals with special talents also took advantage of this God-given opportunity to break away from their own shackles in one fell swoop, able to open their spiritual wisdom, attract the aura of heaven and earth, and human bodies, and also embarked on the path of their predecessors.
In the past, animals were on the road to cultivating immortality, and naturally some enthusiasts of this path brought a real visual and spiritual impact to this society. Since then, countless people with understanding and longing have devoted themselves to it.
Looking at the stubborn figure, Li Xuan said calmly: "How can you achieve great things if you treat life like a child's play? If you want to go, go, why do you need to beg me?"
Zhang Xiaolong hadn't gone very far when he heard a voice behind him. He was stunned for a moment, and then he turned around and rushed to Li Xuan. He bowed to Li Xuan and called him "Master".
"Haha! Okay, get up! I didn't say I would take you in, why are you so happy?" Li Xuan looked at Zhang Xiaolong with a half-smile.
Zhang Xiaolong heard this and replied: "I know that the master is a compassionate person. He must have pitied me for being alone since I was a child, so... please accept me, master!"
Li Xuan looked at the man in front of him and said, "They say people are young and weak, but I don't think so, haha..." After saying this, he burst into laughter.
In fact, he had already had a crush on Zhang Xiaolong, and asking him to go into the water before was a test, but now it was not the time for him to accept a disciple, so he said again: "I think you also have a pious heart, and you should do what you want."
I do, but I have something to do now, and it seems that the matter of recruiting disciples will have to wait until later. If you are willing, I will give you a name first."
Zhang Xiaolong seemed a little disappointed after listening to Li Xuan's words, and replied: "As long as a capable master can provide me with the door, I am willing to wait for a hundred years, but how can my body withstand the passage of time? I still ask the master to help me."
!" He said with a hopeful look on his face.
Looking at Zhang Xiaolong's expression, Li Xuan smiled and said: "You idiot! I just said that you were smart, why did you become confused again? Since I agreed to take you in, how can I let you look at the empty mountain? Of course I
I will first teach you some methods of nourishing qi. As long as you practice diligently, you will be able to consolidate your roots, cleanse your marrow and cut away your hair. Over time, you will also be able to acquire some magical powers, not to mention prolonging your life."
As soon as Zhang Xiaolong heard this, the gloom on his face suddenly cleared away, and he said happily: "Thank you, master, thank you so much, master, I will kowtow to you." After saying this, he cried with joy and bowed down heavily, with a few tears flashing in his tiger eyes.
Li Xuandao: "Well, since you and I have such important titles, we don't need to be so restrained. I have important things to do now, and I can't supervise you personally. Before I teach you, you have to understand one more thing.
One must first calm the mind and cultivate a Taoist heart as solid as a rock. Otherwise, a slight restlessness may bring you disaster. You must keep this in mind. If your heart is not calm, you must not do it.
Try to be brave; even if you are involved in personal affairs, have a slight setback, and the headquarters is suffering from the fate palace, do not be discouraged and give up on your previous achievements. You must know that the hardships during the cultivation are not real sufferings, but the catastrophe that the monks should go through, and they must
At some stages, the more difficulties there are, the greater the power will be in the future. In short, it is all in vain. Remember my words, and don’t forget them!”
"Disciples must keep the master's teachings in mind in the future and never let down the master's training."
"Okay, now I feel relieved!"
When it comes to Zhang Xiaolong, it can be said that he has a lot of karma. When it comes to the word karma, it is both mysterious and mysterious. Even many people who have attained the Tao cannot explain it clearly.
In the case of Zhang Xiaolong, both his parents died when he was young. This seems to be a great misfortune in life for anyone. However, without the bitter experience since childhood, there would be no strong yearning for a better future, nor would there be any
The kindness of the fellow villagers led to the courage to go down the river alone to eliminate monsters to repay the kindness and the determination to stay with Li Xuan regardless of life or death.
