Chapter Twenty-Three: Immortals and Demons
Hongzhou, Wanshou Palace, octagonal lock Longjing.
A hundred feet underwater, a pair of huge pupils suddenly appeared, like two pale golden lanterns, and then the originally calm underground culvert began to make waves, faintly a thick, deep, like a thunderous roar echoing.
A huge dragon woke up from its slumber, as if it had been stimulated by something, it was stimulated to be wild, and struggled.
However, eight thick iron ropes were firmly wrapped around it, and the more it struggled, the tighter the iron ropes were tied, and at last they were embedded in the flesh.
In the depths of the Wanshou Palace, in a secret room that has been locked up all year round.
A white-eyed Taoist sat upright on a futon, his hand was knotted and sealed, his heart was facing the sky, motionless, and it was difficult to even breathe.
In front of him, eight iron pillars were arranged into a Qimen Bagua Array, and a divine sword was inserted in the center of the formation, which was the eye of the formation.
The sword is the color of bronze, with thunder patterns, one side is engraved with the word Jingyang, and one side is engraved with the word Wanren, all of which are ancient seals.
At this moment, this divine sword suddenly trembled and bloomed with brilliant light.
At the same time, the entire Wanshou Palace was trembling slightly, and even a faint dragon chant could be heard.
The white-eyed Daoist suddenly opened his eyes, stretched out his sword finger, and a drop of blood flew out and landed on the body of the sword, and then the divine sword stopped trembling, and the Wanshou Palace also regained its calm.
The roar dissipated, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.
The white-eyed Taoist sighed lightly and said, "This evil dragon, who has been sleeping for sixteen years, why did he suddenly go crazy again?" ”
Shaking his head, he closed his eyes again, and his breathing became long and subtle again.
……
Longshou Mountain.
Named for its dragon's head, the mountain is secluded and used by nearby villagers to dig secret passages and caves to escape wars and disasters.
At this moment, in the cave of Longshou Mountain, a large group of villagers gathered together and discussed something under the auspices of the old village.
"Muramasa, we can't stay like this any longer, otherwise the crops in the fields will be wasted!"
"Yes, if we don't farm again, what will we do for the winter?"
"Didn't Daochang Li say that he would help us get rid of that snake demon? Why hasn't there been any movement until now? ”
"He's not going to forget about us!"
The villagers were talking, their faces full of worry.
At first, they feared the basilisk's revenge, but as time went on, the fear of the basilik faded little by little, replaced by the fear of winter.
For people in remote areas like them, every winter is a severe test of survival, and in the beginning of spring, perhaps many familiar people will never see it again.
Lao Cunzheng spoke: "I believe in Daochang Li, he is a person with great ability, and if he says that he will help us subdue demons, he will definitely do it!" ”
An old woman hesitated: "You say, could it be that Daochang Li is also afraid of that snake demon, and now he has run away?" ”
"I've heard that the snake demon is much more powerful than the bat demon, and can even turn into a human to harm the girls!"
At this moment, a young but firm voice sounded.
"Brother Dao Chang won't be afraid of that snake demon!"
"Granny Zhang, if you talk nonsense, be careful that I steal your pears!"
It was the granddaughter of Lao Muramasa, who held a wooden stick and said fiercely.
Granny Zhang was very angry and was about to open her mouth to reprimand, but she heard someone shouting loudly outside.
"Oh no, no!"
"Granny Zhang, your little grandson was swallowed by a big fish while swimming in the water!"
When Granny Zhang heard this, her heart suddenly burned like fire, and she fainted without taking a breath.
……
Longshou Mountain, a nameless deep pool.
The water of the pond is bottomless, and there are many fallen leaves floating on it, which looks quiet and picturesque, but just now, when a few children were swimming here, a big brown fish suddenly surfaced, more than three meters long, and swallowed Granny Zhang's little grandson in one bite.
The other children fled ashore in panic and told the adults in the cave the news.
At this moment, Granny Zhang had woken up, lying on the edge of the pond and crying bitterly, not long after, her son and daughter-in-law also rushed over, hearing the bad news were anxious, and the daughter-in-law was so anxious that she almost jumped into the pool.
They only have this one single seedling.
However, the roof leak happened to rain overnight, and some sharp-eyed people noticed that there seemed to be a big snake approaching quickly in the distance, and the speed was very fast.
"It's the snake demon, the snake demon has come to the door!"
"The snake demon has come to take revenge, everyone run away!"
People looked at this scene in horror and were about to run away, but they heard the granddaughter of Lao Muramasa suddenly shouting in surprise: "It's not a snake demon, look, it's Brother Daochang!" ”
"Huh? It seems like...... It's really Daochang Li! ”
"It's Daochang Li, it's him dragging the snake demon!"
A moment later, with a bang, the body of a large snake was thrown to the ground, and the water in the distant pool was shaken into a circle of ripples.
A figure floated down on the head of the snake demon, wearing a cyan robe, with long hair like ink, handsome and dusty, with a short sword with a sheath hanging from his waist and a small black gourd hanging on the other.
It was Lee Do-hyun.
"Brother Dao Chief!"
Muramasa's little granddaughter shouted happily, in addition to surprise on her little face, there was also a deep pride, as if this snake demon was killed by her own hands.
Li Daoxuan looked at her obviously thin little face, stretched out his hand, and suddenly took out two more packets of candied fruit and mutton jerky wrapped in oil paper, handed it to her, and said with a smile: "This brother can't let you scream in vain, take it and eat it." ”
The little granddaughter suddenly showed a sweet smile, and the other children and even many adults were very envious.
Li Daoxuan waved his sleeve again, and the nearly five-zhang long snake demon corpse suddenly disappeared, as if he was hidden in his sleeve.
In fact, Li Daoxuan put it into the Three Realms Hurd, and in order not to make people pay attention to the gourd, he deliberately made a gesture of waving his sleeves to cover it up.
Don't ask, it's all in your sleeve!
Seeing this scene, the villagers were even more shocked, only to feel that Li Daochang seemed to have become more powerful, just like a fairy.
"Fellow fathers and fellow villagers, you all saw the corpse of the snake demon just now, this demon has been eliminated by me, you can return to Xiaosha Village to continue farming!"
Hearing this, the villagers' eyes showed surprise.
"Great, Daoist Li is really amazing!"
"It's still called Daochang Li? It should be called Li Shenxian! ”
"Yes, yes, Immortal Li!"
……
Li Daoxuan arched his hand and said, "Poor Dao still has important matters, so I won't bother everyone, and I will leave!" ”
As soon as he stepped on his feet, he was ready to operate the Divine Technique of Shrinking the Earth.
At this time, Granny Zhang suddenly ran over, knelt in front of Li Daoxuan with a pop, and kowtowed again and again, and her forehead was bruised.
"Please save my little grandson! Please! ”
Li Daoxuan hurriedly supported her, and just as she was about to speak, Granny Zhang's son and daughter-in-law also ran over and knelt down together, bursting into tears.
"The baby just swam in the water and was swallowed by a big fish, and now the fish is hiding under the water, please ask Fairy Li to save my poor baby!"
Li Daoxuan frowned and said, "When did it happen?" If it's too late, I'm afraid that even if I kill the big fish, I won't be able to save people. ”
Hearing Li Daoxuan's words, Granny Zhang's hands trembled with excitement, and she said, "It's just now, it's what just happened!" ”
Li Daoxuan walked to the edge of the pool, looked at the bottomless pool, transported the mana to his eyes, and saw that there was indeed a faint demonic aura on the water.
It's a fish demon who is still shallow, I'm afraid he hasn't even opened his spiritual wisdom yet, and the threat is not big.
But it's hiding at the bottom of the pool, but it's a little tricky.
If he hadn't obtained the Three Realms, Li Daoxuan would definitely refuse to save people, after all, he was not willing to risk his life to go into the water.
But now......
Li Daoxuan sneered and lightly tapped the Three Realms Hun on his waist.
"Even if you hide at the bottom of the sea, Poor Dao will take you in today!"
"Give it to me!"
The next moment, in full view of everyone, the gourd around his waist automatically floated and hung above Li Daoxuan's head.
Call!
The pool water was automatically sucked up, rolled up columns of water, and quickly poured into the gourd.
