- Strange Stories of Spiritual Wine • Lotus Regret (Notes)

One

"'Demon Lord', are you demonstrating and provoking my Holy Pure Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable?!"

Not only pretended to be a master to make trouble, but also made trouble under his eyes three or four times, Rao is gentle temperament like Ruoxuan was also forced out of anger.

The majesty of the Heavenly Venerable is inviolable, and within the Three Realms, the person who dares to provoke its majesty so blatantly is the first and will be the only one!

"Cherish your child, protect the law!"

Li Ruoxuan restrained his anger, waved his sleeves and peeled off a wisp of residual demonic qi from the corpse of the old man in the linen robe, condensed into a bead of blood and hung it between his palms, turned around and walked quickly to the pavilion in the backyard of Lu Yao Pavilion, closed his eyes cross-legged and adjusted his breath.

"Yes, master."

Lian Xi followed closely behind, exerting her magic power, and laid a cyan transparent barrier around the pavilion, and the pavilion was silent for a moment.

The breath tends to be stable, Ruoxuan meditates, his divine consciousness sinks into his state of mind, and all the surrounding scenes dissipate and become invisible, turning into a chaotic darkness, except for the blood beads condensed by the demon qi, suspended in front of Ruoxuan.

After a stick of incense, Ruoxuan, who had settled down, finally made a move, raised his hands in front of his chest, and his handprints quickly changed and danced into bursts of afterimages.

Lin, Bing, Fight, Person, Both, Array, Column, Front, Line, the nine handprints changed in turn, Ruoxuan suddenly opened his eyes, and his right hand slammed on the ground.

The majestic divine power swept out, causing ripples in the state of mind. Tai Chi Liangyi, Sixiang, and Bagua are expanded in Ruoxuan's next appearance, condensing a light purple Tai Chi Bagua Array.

"The three masters can't see through the catastrophe when they join forces, so I use this demon qi as a guide to break through the secret of the so-called 'demon master'!"

The heart moved with his thoughts, and the Tai Chi Bagua Array under his body slowly operated, and the invisible Great Dao Law poured out from the array, wrapping the blood beads in front of Ruoxuan. The blood beads trembled violently, as if they had their own spiritual intelligence, they felt threatened, and tried their best to resist the invasion of the laws of the Great Dao. But no matter how the blood beads resisted, a small wisp of demonic qi couldn't make much waves, and it still couldn't stop the infiltration of the power of the law.

Suddenly, a huge beast roar struck, and the mixed roars of various demons were deafening, and the scene in Ruoxuan's state of mind changed greatly.

Between heaven and earth, as far as the eye can see, there is barren and dead silence, chaos. This is the extreme north of the Styx Sea, and it is also where the "Platform of the Emperors" once guarded by Jin Luan is located.

Looking around, I saw that the "Platform of the Emperors" had collapsed, and the great demon sealing array on it was shattered, cracking a huge gap, gluttony, Gu carving, Han Zhu, chaos, Xiangliu, and dream eating beasts...... Countless evil monsters with a great reputation rushed out from the gap, densely packed and chilling down the spine. The huge and noisy roar was mixed with a thick cloud-like demonic aura, as if forming a boundless wave of demon beasts, covering the sky and the sun, the eight desolations trembled, and the heavens and the earth changed color.

Two

The demon tide frantically poured out of the Great Demon Sealing Array, but instead of scattering and fleeing, they quickly converged into a red-clothed figure in the air and merged into its body.

Presumably, this is the strange red-clothed figure mentioned by Jin Luan who destroyed the Great Demon Sealing Array.

The overly strong demonic aura obscured Ruoxuan's vision, and he couldn't see the true face of the red-clothed figure clearly, only feeling the yin and evil aura on his body, which became more and more rich and majestic.

With a stick of incense, the momentum of countless demon beasts pouring out of the Demon Sealing Array finally weakened. Just when Ruo Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the demon beast had finally exhausted itself and could see the true face of the red-clothed figure, a shocking sound suddenly broke out, and the Demon Sealing Array exploded into countless fragments of light and shadow.

Immediately, the extremely evil and violent Demon Qi appeared out of thin air, and the scarlet Demon Qi swept around like a hurricane, and the demon beasts that could not escape were slightly affected by the Demon Qi hurricane, and they instantly turned into dust and dissipated in the heavens and the earth.

It's no wonder that the two elders of the mountain god and the earth god of the "Red Lian Cliff" were so shocked by such a demon qi that they still have palpitations, such a majestic and pure demon qi, Rao is Ruoxuan's supreme cultivation, and his heart is also shocked to watch.

At the critical moment of integrity, in Ruoxuan's state of mind, the pale purple gossip array suddenly trembled violently, as if it was about to break out of Ruoxuan's control and collapse at any time.

"The hosts! Stop quickly, don't force the calculation! Suddenly, there was an urgent call, and the lotus protector outside the pavilion maintained the operation of the enchantment, paying attention to the changes in the situation inside the pavilion at any time.

She didn't know what Ruoxuan was doing, but she could sense that the aura on Ruoxuan's body suddenly became extremely disordered at this moment, and a look of worry couldn't help but appear on her face.

With Ruoxuan's supreme cultivation, ordinary divination is easy to come by, and there is no need to use such a profound formation at all. But right now, even if he has run the Tai Chi Bagua Array, supplemented by Ruoxuan's divine power, it has made him so difficult to calculate, this is the first time that Lian Xi has followed Ruoxuan for more than ten years, which shows how serious the matter of this calculation is.

Finally had this opportunity to get close to the truth of the 'Demon Lord', how could Ruo Xuan be willing to give up. Immediately, the handprint changed rapidly, mobilizing the divine power around the body, intensifying the erosion of the blood beads by the power of the law, and the purple glow of the eyes was violet, in order to penetrate the scarlet Demon Qi Hurricane and get a glimpse of it.

The Demon Qi gradually subsided and converged, and there were three dark shadows, slowly appearing from the Scarlet Demon Qi. It seems that these are the three weird auras that Jin Luan described. Through the entangled demon qi, when Ruoxuan looked at the faces of the three dark shadows, he seemed to be hit by thunder.

Those three dark shadows are actually exactly the same as the Sanqing Master, and even the breath is the same! Except for the pure demonic qi around him and the lack of godhead aura, he couldn't find the difference anymore!

"Since ten years ago to the present, the three masters have been practicing in retreat in the Sanqing Holy Realm, and it is impossible for them to appear in this 'platform of all emperors', and it is absolutely impossible for them to have such a majestic and pure demonic qi. So where are these three sacred? Could it be that it was the monster who instructed Xue Yi and his two clan brothers in the first place who looked like Master Taiqing? ”

Ruo Xuan was shocked beyond words, he thought he was close to the truth of the Three Realms Tribulation, but he didn't want to fall into an even more confusing situation now.

Three

Just as Ruoxuan was thinking to himself, among the three dark shadows, the monster in the appearance of Yuqing Yuan Shi Tianzun seemed to be aware of it, and turned his head to look at Ruoxuan, the two of them looked at each other through the air, and the boundless coercion hit instantly.

Sudden changes, if Xuan didn't have time to deal with it, the coercion rushed straight into the divine consciousness. The divine consciousness was like being struck by lightning, and Ruoxuan's divine power around him violently shook, and he suddenly felt a splitting headache.

The scene in front of him, like a broken mirror, began to crumble inch by inch, and the picture finally froze on the monster's scarlet pupils, and then all dissipated into darkness.

In the state of mind, the maintenance of divine power was broken, and the Tai Chi Bagua Array under Ruoxuan also collapsed, and the divine power shook, and the violent qi wave erupted with Ruoxuan as the center, rushing away. The barrier of enchantment laid by Lian Xi was shattered in an instant, and Lian Xi, who was concentrating on protecting the Dharma, was also overturned to the ground.

was accidentally attacked, and at this moment, if the Xuan Qi Machine was implicated, his divine power withered, holding his forehead in severe pain with one hand, and supporting his body on the ground with the other.

"The hosts! Be careful! Lian Xi's eager cry sounded, Ruo Xuanqiang opened his eyes and looked, only to see that the demon qi blood beads that were originally suspended in front of him had fallen into the restraints of divine power, turning into a scarlet miasma, spreading around.

At the last moment, Ruoxuan waved his hand and threw out a light purple light curtain, enveloping Lotus Xi and protecting his body. And he himself was wrapped in scarlet miasma, and the miasma invaded all the seven orifices of Zi Ruoxuan.

The piercing pain like a tear all over his body came, Ruoxuan couldn't support it anymore, his body was dormant, and he fell to the ground weakly, and before he fell unconscious, he saw Lian Xi running towards him eagerly.

"The hosts! Master! ”......

Four

The snow at the end of spring is extraordinarily gentle and subtle, full of velvet, and the pieces fall silently.

The courtyard of Lu Yao Pavilion is as monotonous and simple as ever, with a unique half-person-high mottled stone trough standing in the center. Hibiscus is warm by nature, blooming in summer and withering in winter, while the lotus leaves planted in the stone trough are still green, and a hibiscus blooms proudly in the frost.

Compared with the prosperity of the backyard in full bloom throughout the year, it looks particularly simple.

Li Ruoxuan is gentle and cool by nature, and there are very few things that can win his favor on weekdays, but he is particularly interested in brewing spiritual wine and cultivating flowers and plants. Such a simple embellishment is obviously not in line with his aesthetic taste.

Because, this patio with a radius of less than ten steps belongs to Lianxi, and the decoration is also her unique intention.

Ruoxuan leaned against the window and drank alone, comfortably watching the lotus dancing in the courtyard.

It has been half a month since the accident caused the injury, and Ruoxuan's face is still pale, and his fatigue is written on his eyebrows. For half a month, Ruoxuan meditated every day, treated his injuries with divine power, and supplemented by the Great Dao Spirit Wine. But obviously, the damage to the divine power is not light, the dark wound has not yet healed and recovered, and there is a slight stinging pain around the body from time to time, and the demon qi miasma poison that invades the body has not been expelled.

Thinking of what Xiao Nianci said to him in front of the Sanqing Temple when he returned to the master that day, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. What the three masters said is true, everything should be done carefully, and not forced.

was calculated one after another and had no way to deal with it, causing him to be angry for a while, and he was reckless, forcibly taking advantage of the catastrophe and secrets, so he suffered this dark loss.

The three masters joined forces to take advantage of it, and if they wanted to turn the tide on their own, they couldn't help but overestimate their own abilities.

The heart is still impatient, and he has not kept his peace of mind, and his cultivation is not enough. Fortunately, during this time, the 'Demon Lord' did not make any more moves, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with this sick body at this time.

The dignified Holy and Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable was in a hurry to go to the doctor, and was forced to be so embarrassed by a wisp of demonic qi.

Ruo Xuan shook his head and laughed at himself, then drove his chaotic thoughts out of his mood and no longer entangled. He is not a soft-hearted person, regret is useless, the top priority is to treat his injuries as soon as possible, recover all his divine powers, and wait for the crisis dormant in the shadows to recur, there is room to deal with it.

However, the healing must be put aside for the time being, after all, today is a very special day, it is the birthday of Lian Xi's peach and plum (20 years old).

The lotus in the courtyard, bathing and changing, light makeup and plain wrapping, dancing around the hibiscus in the stone trough. If the fingers are soft, the skin is like coagulated fat, like a hibiscus out of the water, slender steps, exquisite and unique.

Ruoxuan retracted his gaze, turned his hand and conjured up a green jade bottle, hanging it in the palm of his hand, looking at the verdant brilliance circulating in the bottle, and fell into thoughts.

On the bottle, Juanxiu's handwriting is engraved with two words: Lotus cherish......
