In the seventh year of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty raised troops to attack the Turks and won a great victory. Li Daoxuan asked to resign as national teacher, but the emperor did not allow it. At the beginning of the eighth year of Zhenguan, the old heavenly master of Longhu Mountain passed away at the age of 149, and Li Daoxuan resigned as the national teacher, and he was not allowed to go out of the mountain for three years.

Li Daoxuan once again resigned as the national teacher, but the emperor refused again. Since then, the national teacher Li Daoxuan has lived in the Dragon and Tiger Mountain, guarding the spirit of his ancestors, and gradually disappeared in the eyes of the world.

However, Emperor Li Shimin always flew a pigeon to pass a book into Longhu Mountain whenever there was a major event in the court and asked Li Daoxuan's opinion.

Despite not getting a response often, he persisted.

At the banquet, there was always a vacant seat next to Li Shimin, and he often drank and sighed, saying that if the national teacher was there, he would not make me pay so much.

Longhu Mountain seems to be a place of cultivation, but because of one person, it has invisibly attracted the attention of the whole world. At the time, people said that the gods and immortals in the Heavenly Court Mansion were the prime minister's house in Longhu Mountain.

In the blink of an eye, three years passed in a hurry.

At the foot of Longhu Mountain, listening to the wind teahouse, many people take shelter from the rain here.

"It is said that after Li Shenxian and General Li Jing joined forces to defeat Chi You together, they followed the orders of the old heavenly master and returned to the mountains and forests, and never asked about the world again."

"This Dragon and Tiger Mountain, I often hear the sound of the phoenix, every time after the rain, there will inevitably be purple gas in the sky, and the morning glow will come to the east, do you know why?"

The tourists shook their heads, urging the storyteller not to sell the guanzi and hurry up.

The storyteller smiled smugly and said, "My cousin is a disciple of the Inner Sect who practices in Longhu Mountain, and he told me that this is because after every rain, Immortal Li will come out of the grass house in the back mountain and go fishing in the White Crane Lake."

"Those purple qi and morning glow are all because of Immortal Li's exit!

"My cousin also told me that the son of the contemporary Zhang Tianshi is practicing with Li Shenxian, and he once went to deliver food to Zhang Tianshi's son, guess what?"

The curiosity of the crowd was aroused. "Tell me, what's wrong?"

"I must have met Immortal Li, tell me what Immortal Li looks like, is it as good-looking as the one in the temple?"

"Phew, superficial, Immortal Li is our Tang Dynasty National Teacher, a master who has become an immortal, has boundless mana, and is powerful in the world, what is his appearance?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost over, the storyteller stopped selling Guan Zi and continued, "My cousin really met Li Shenxian, and his old man has not yet ascended, but he is almost there."

"My cousin said that at that time, Li Shenxian was wearing filial piety clothes, and he was sitting on the shore of Baihe Lake fishing, and he gently lifted the fishing rod and caught a big carp!"

"What's so strange about that?"

"Hehe, don't worry, the big carp is about a zhang long, and the most strange thing is that the front half of the body has turned into a dragon shape, with dragon horns, dragon heads and dragon whiskers, and can also speak and call the immortals to spare their lives."

"Li Shenxian said, in the seventh year of martial arts, there was a childish boy who fell into the river by mistake with a night pearl, and you were greedy for the night pearl, so you didn't save the child's death, so even if you crossed the dragon gate, you should not be regarded as a dragon."

"After that, Fairy Li put the big carp into the fish basket, and it is strange to say that as soon as the big carp entered the basket, the dragon scales fell off and turned into a fish again. ＇

"Later, Li Shenxian also asked my cousin to cook this fish, the soup was like white jade, and the fragrance was ten miles, and my cousin shared a bowl, saying that he had never drunk such a delicious fish soup in his life!"

Hearing this, everyone sighed that his cousin was blessed, it was a fish soup made of half-cut dragon carp, and there must be many benefits to drinking it.

At this time, a person suddenly said: "It is said that in May this year, there was indeed a carp in the Yellow River that tried to turn into a dragon, and many people witnessed it with their own eyes, and the Nine Heavens Xuannu in the dragon also rushed there and was about to make a move, but the carp suddenly disappeared!"

When everyone heard this, they all gasped, and their hearts were very shocked.

Originally, they may not have believed all the storyteller's words, but combined with this rumor, the two were compared, and they found that there was no flaw.

In this way, the carp that tried to turn into a dragon did not suddenly disappear, but ······ was fished away by Immortal Li!

In the mountains, fishing the world.

Thinking like this, everyone couldn't help but feel numb in their scalps, and they were even more in awe of the Li Immortal who was cultivating in Longhu Mountain.

At this time, the clouds disappeared and the weather cleared.

The glow appeared in the sky, and the purple gas shrouded in Longhu Mountain, stretching for dozens of miles, reflecting this place as if it were a fairyland on earth.

......

Back Mountain, White Crane Lake.

The lake is as clear as a wash, and the water is rippling, like a delicate and transparent jade mirror, illuminating the blue sky and white sun, as well as the elegant white cranes.

Legend has it that it was here when the old Heavenly Master was young that he met a crane and flew with him to an immortal cave mansion, where he received the inheritance of the wordless heavenly book.

Later, the Celestial Master's favorite thing was to come to this lake to fish.

Time has passed, things are not people, but the White Crane Lake is still beautiful and moving, and the cranes are singing endlessly.

A figure was sitting on the edge of the lake fishing.

He wore a hat on his head, white clothes, white shoes and white socks, and held a bamboo pole in his hand, sitting cross-legged for an unknown amount of time.

The white crane flew to his side without fear, rubbing his head affectionately against his clothes.

A bird landed on his hat and combed its feathers with its beak.

The willow trees shade the sun, the breeze sends coolness, the begonias are fragrant, and from a distance, the figure of the fishing seems to be one with the whole world.

"Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law of the Tao, and the Tao is the law of nature······

A childish child's voice sounded.

On the big stone next to him, there was a little Taoist boy with a delicate face, who was the son of the contemporary Zhang Tianshi, and the only Heavenly Master bloodline after Zhang Qianyang, Zhang Weiying.

It's just that at this moment, this little heavenly master, who has been pampered and favored since childhood, is wearing the scorching sun on his head, tying a horse step on the stone, and there is an incense burner underneath.

Even if the sweat is raining, he still has to memorize the Taoist scriptures, and add a stick of incense if he makes a mistake.

Finally, Xiao Wei Yan finished reciting the whole article, and said with a sad face, "Senior brother, can I take a break?"

The hat was raised slightly, revealing a handsome and white face like jade.

The red mark in the center of the eyebrows adds a lot of rhyme.

It is the world-famous mountain Chinese teacher today, Li Shenxian of Longhu Mountain, Li Daoxuan.

Compared with three years ago, his appearance has hardly changed, but his temperament is more simple and natural, back to basics.

Like heaven and earth.

"Go, be careful not to spoil the flowers in the lake."

The warm voice sounded, and it was like a jade bell, making people's hearts subconsciously become calm and peaceful, as if shaking off the dust.

"Oh, big brother is so good!" "Thank you, big brother!"

Xiao Wei Ying immediately danced happily, he immediately unbuttoned his shirt, jumped into the White Crane Lake naked, and splashed the water.

At a young age, he was already quite watery, and even dived into the lake and did not come out for a long time.

Li Daoxuan was not in a hurry at all, he was still fishing quietly, and he was not afraid that the fish would be scared away.

After a while, the lake was churning, and a white dragon flew out of it, with a body length of ten zhang, its scales were as crystal clear as jade, and the dragon's horns were as beautiful as coral, and it soared into the air with a small martingale.

The air is full of water vapor, the glow is blooming, and in the clouds, from time to time, you can see a crystal dragon tail flicking by, and you can faintly hear the cheers of children.

Bai Jiao is naturally Xiaobai, and now he has turned into a Jiao, and he is about to cross into the Yang God.

As for Roaring Sky, it has always been restless, so Li Daoxuan sent it to Changle's side, and that Nizi has done a lot of things recently, which is impressive.

Looking at the gradually calming lake, Li Daoxuan's mind seemed to return to three years ago.

That night, he used Ziwei Doushu to deduce the whereabouts of the ancestor, and he did not hesitate to get injured, and finally saw clearly that the sudden autopsy of the ancestor was related to Heavenly Court!

After that, he cultivated in the Dragon and Tiger Mountain in the name of guarding the spirit, of course, it was not completely ignorant of the world, and occasionally in the name of fishing, he killed a few demons to relieve boredom, but it was also interesting.

In the past three years, he has lived in a house and has only done three things, reading, fishing, and teaching Xiao Wei Ying's practice.

Yes, there is no cultivation.

Because he found that in the late stage of the Yang God, the accumulation of mana is no longer meaningful, and if you want to become an immortal, the important thing is the state of mind.

He is undoubtedly a little biased, relying on the sword intent of the Heavenly Escape and is not afraid of the demons in his heart, so he always practices mana and supernatural powers, but he doesn't know that his state of mind is gradually falling.

The Heavenly Escape Sword Intent could only keep him clear, but it could not directly improve his spiritual cultivation.

Therefore, what Li Daoxuan has done the most in the past three years is to read books.

In addition to the Taoist classics of Longhu Mountain, the hundred schools of thought collected in the palace, as well as the ancient books collected by Maoshan, Longmen, Laoshan and other sects, were all sent to Longhu Mountain with Li Shimin's order.

Of course, Li Daoxuan only took the classics, and he was not involved in the cultivation techniques of other sects.

After three years of hard study, his heart was completely calm, watching the flowers bloom and fall, watching the clouds roll up, and there was no trace of impetuousness.

And when he was comprehending the essence of Taoism and immersing himself in reading, he inadvertently found that his cultivation had also risen, and even his cultivation of the major supernatural powers had deepened.

This kind of improvement is not as drastic as before, but it is like a spring breeze and rain, moisturizing things silently, and it is completed little by little in a subtle way, and it continues.

Now that he is far from becoming an immortal, he really only has a thin layer of window paper, which can be pierced at any time.

The word immortal is already within reach.

Maybe when he ascends, he will be able to go to Heaven to explore, when Chi You hurt the existence in Heaven Court, presumably the other party will not be able to recover so quickly. Maybe it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Just as he was thinking, a phoenix suddenly sounded in the sky, and a phoenix with flapping wings passed through the clouds, its feathers shining, gorgeous and noble, and holding something in its mouth.

The phoenix bird hovered above Li Daoxuan's head for a moment, and then let go of its mouth.

Two things floated into Li Daoxuan's hands, one was a picture scroll, and the other was a food box, which was opened, and inside was nectar cake and a letter.

"Master Li Daoxuan personally enlightened."

The delicate little Kai is like a bright peach blossom, soft and mixed with a hint of playfulness.

I touched it, and the letter was very thick, and there must be ten sheets of paper in it, to say the least.

Li Daoxuan smiled slightly, this Changle has to write a letter to herself every month, counting her age, she is now seventeen years old, but she always has the same childishness.

The phoenix bird turned into a strand of hair and slowly drifted away, this is the magic power of blowing hair, and it is obvious that Changle's cultivation has made great progress.

opened the letter, and the first sentence made Li Daoxuan show a strange look.

"Master, I'm so angry, you must help the apprentice to make the decision, I just joined the dragon and got the mask of the Nine Heavens Xuannu, and finally met a carp that wanted to turn into a dragon, and before I could make a move, the fish was gone!"

"Someone must have quietly rescued the demon fish, I wanted to do the math, but I found that the other party's heavenly machine was chaotic, and I couldn't calculate it at all, Master, you can help me calculate who it is, and the apprentice will definitely not let him go!"
