Chapter 23
Chapter 23
A year later, the army returned to court.
After Bai Lian got the news, she set off for Shengjing.Instead of going to see Xiao Chen, she found Xie Ange instead.
She got straight to the point and said, "Do one last thing for me, and I will return your parents' souls to you."
"The last one?" Xie Ange smiled softly, the afterglow of the setting sun reflected on his face, half of light, half of shadow, the smile on his lips was slightly mocking.
He kept his hands on, sketching the lines with the Langhao pen, and adding the last stroke slowly, adding the finishing touch, a mighty, protective, and loyal wolf king appeared on the paper, with fierce eyes, as if he was about to jump up at any time, bite off enemy's neck.
"Tomorrow after tomorrow, there are so many tomorrows. I am afraid that after the last one, there will be the last one."
The hands with well-defined knuckles put the Langhao brush on the white porcelain landscape pen stand, and then dipped it into the copper basin filled with clear water to cleanse their hands.
Every move is gentle and graceful.
Since the battle of chasing wolves, although Xie Ange committed murder because of this, but because it was with the emperor's permission, there is no need to worry about being hindered by Taoism.On the contrary, he learned a lot from this battle, and his style of acting became more and more successful.
The impatience in his personality has also eased a little, which can be regarded as a successful experience.
He was not in a hurry, but Bai Lian was in a hurry.
Bai Lian wanted to coerce Xie Ange's parents, never relying on the so-called filial piety - this thing can only threaten those filial sons and grandchildren, or those who value reputation.
For those who cultivate the Tao, all ties to the world are broken, and relatives and so on are nothing.As long as the Dao heart has not been dusted, even if it is threatened by the world, there is no need to take it to heart.
Of course, there are too few Taoist priests who can not be influenced by others.
When people walk in the world, they will be affected more or less, the difference is only in the size of the influence.Therefore, most Taoist priests, even if they don't love power and money, love to slay demons and eliminate demons, help the weak and help the weak, nothing else, just practice.
Cultivate a clear Taoist heart, and practice the ability to reach the sky.
People like Chi Lian and Xie Ange will be greatly influenced by secular people, Bai Lian is not sure.
She relies on her own power - spells.
Using the birth parents as a curse can indeed threaten Xie Ange's life.
However, as Xie Ange became stronger and stronger, Bai Lian faintly felt out of control.
As long as Xie Ange is willing to resist the cursed damage and practice slowly, she has nothing to do with him, after all, her strength is not as good as Xie Ange's.
"I can swear it."
After thinking for a long time, Bai Lian took a step back. Xie Ange is a very important pawn, no matter what, let him move to revive the dead end.
Thinking of this, Bai Lian secretly hated why God gave her a smart brain, but didn't give her the talent for cultivation, so she could only follow a different way.
"it is good."
Xie Ange agreed too happily, with an unpredictable smile on his face, which made Bai Lian feel like stepping into a trap.
Both parties are very familiar with various spells, and the process of signing the oath recognized by the Dao of Heaven is also very smooth.
A man and a demon each forced out a little blood, and the blood flew into the body of the opponent, and the golden and white runes flowed like two long chains, intertwined and bound both sides.
"Heavenly Dao witnesses, I swear, I will keep my promise, if there is any violation, the heaven and the earth will punish it! Ghosts and gods will hate it!"
After taking the oath, Bai Lian's complexion improved a lot, and she readily returned Xie Ange's parents to him.
Xie Ange returned to Yuquan Mountain after sending his parents in this life into reincarnation.
***
Yuquan Mountain is still the same as before, quiet and quiet, surrounded by clouds and mist, and the aura is compelling.
The cat boys who were playing on the mountain path rushed over chirping when they saw it.
"Lang Jun! Lang Jun!"
"You're back!"
"I'm back, meow!"
"Grow taller and stronger!"
"Tall and shapely meow!"
The elder brother speaks, and the younger brother learns the tongue, one by one, very lively.
Seeing these cute cat boys, Xie Ange couldn't help laughing, took out gifts from his sleeves, and gave them one by one, picked up the youngest one, and gently touched his fluffy ears.
"Meow~" The kitten moved its ears and narrowed its eyes comfortably.
"Thank you, Mr. Lang!"
When they arrived at the Taoist temple, Xie Ange put down the kittens and said goodbye to them.
"See you tomorrow, Mr. Lang!" The cat boys collectively waved their little hands like a beckoning cat.
"See you tomorrow!"
Xie Ange also waved his hand, with a smile on his lips, in an extremely good mood.
Turning his head, Xie Ange tidied up his clothes and headed towards the wooden building.
"Disciple pays respects to master!"
"Is everything okay?" Chi Lian sat cross-legged on the futon as usual, with a huge Taiji diagram hanging on the wall behind her.
"Everything is fine with my disciple. I have gained a little from experience in the world." As he spoke, Xie Ange picked up some interesting things and started talking.
Chi Lian listened carefully, making comments from time to time, which made Xie Ange quite enlightened.
In the end, Xie Ange revealed his deal with Bailian.
Chi Lian remained silent, and said after a long time: "I'm afraid this matter is difficult to achieve the best of both worlds. It's okay to break with the Jin Dynasty royal family. There is no eternal dynasty in the world. It's just... the patriarch promised Emperor Ziwei, Zizaiguan must guard that one."
"The disciple thinks it's okay to let Hu Jiuling go."
"How much do you know?" Chi Lian was slightly surprised.
"Nine out of ten." Xie Ange has deduced everything through the clues.
"Then you shouldn't have said that."
The founding emperors of all dynasties were all trained by Emperor Ziwei, and the founding emperor of the Jin Dynasty was no exception.
The difference is that this time Emperor Ziwei moved Fanxin and had a weakness - Hu Jiuling.
Hu Jiuling is a hybrid of a human and a fox demon. He should have been doing nothing like other hybrids until he died, but fortunately, he was blessed by Emperor Ziwei, with dragon energy added to his body, and became extremely powerful.
In the last years of the former dynasty, evil spirits arose everywhere in the world, and Hu Jiuling's magic power was superb. Finally, when he was fighting an enchanted dragon, he was infected with demonic energy and lost his mind.
Emperor Taizong of Jin sent Hu Jiuling to Zizai Temple, and made a deal with the master of the temple at that time, asking the preacher of Zizai Temple to get rid of the evil energy for Hu Jiuling, and he promised the possibility of Zizai Temple's rise.
From generation to generation, the temple master kept his promise, lived in a wooden building, chanted scriptures every day, and expelled the evil energy for Hu Jiuling.
Therefore, from the lineage of Guan Zaiguan, as long as you don't die, you can generally ascend to the fairy world.They protected the royal family of the Jin Dynasty for the sake of Emperor Ziwei.
In fact, the benefits obtained by Zizai Guan from the royal family of the Jin Dynasty are actually like chicken ribs, which are tasteless to eat and a pity to discard.
Therefore, when the emperor voluntarily gave up his concept of freedom, Chi Lian would rather bear the backlash of luck, and let it go very happily.
"It is precisely because of this that the disciple suggested to let him go.
When the disciple dealt with false gods, he used the seal of the national teacher to write to the heavenly court, but the heavenly court did not respond. "
Xie Ange raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and Chi Lian also felt suspicious.
Emperor Ziwei is the second son of Doumu Yuanjun and the younger brother of the Jade Emperor. He is the star king of Ziweiyuan. , the status in the Heavenly Court is extremely lofty.
Emperor Ziwei's heart is Hu Jiuling, and he has a very close connection with the concept of freedom, so he shouldn't have no reaction at all anyway.
Unless... Heaven is in chaos, and I can't take care of the free view.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
If there is trouble in the Heavenly Court, Chi Lian will believe it. She has lived for thousands of years and has seen countless joys and sorrows.
Love is poison, once contaminated, anything can be done.
Huanai is not allowed in the rules of heaven, Emperor Ziwei has a high position and authority, if he wants to change the rules of heaven, there will be chaos in the heavenly court.
"Which one..." Xie Ange pointed to the sky, "Whether it's victory or defeat, there's nothing wrong with letting someone go. After all, Hu Jiuling is already sober, and even intervened in the century-old catastrophe."
"What?" Chi Lian's expression turned ugly, "I guard Bihu and never leave a single step. How did he intervene in the century-old catastrophe?"
"Master, don't forget. The patriarch also said that Hu Jiuling's Taoism is outstanding. After 500 years, I am afraid that no one can be invincible. What is it to deceive people through formations? This disciple can come up with a hundred or eighty methods now. to this point."
The master and apprentice looked at each other silently.
Chi Lian was ashamed in her heart, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly. I am full of martial arts, and I can't understand spells. I am really sorry.
Emperor Ziwei won, and what Hu Jiuling did - using secret techniques to stir up Bailian and Tao Hua to stir up wind and rain, was nothing.If Emperor Ziwei loses, then there is nothing to say, and Zizai Guan will not be able to escape.
Other famous and decent sects also spread the news that some gods have already started to deal with the false gods, and no matter how big the chaos is, it should be over.
"Besides, Hu Jiuling's magical power is boundless, how long can our formation hold him?"
Xie Ange silently changed the topic to avoid embarrassing the master.
Chi Lian had nothing to say at all, she had long been aware of Hu Jiuling's strength.
"Then let it go." Chilian sighed.
***
The turquoise water of the lake rises into the sky, exposing the bottom of the lake, and the wooden building stands alone in the lake.
The formations lit up one by one, Xie Ange took no haste, found the eyes of the formations one by one, and broke the formations.Although they are all ancestral formations, the project is huge. After breaking the formation, Xie Ange was also sweating profusely.
After the formation was undone, a path appeared out of nowhere in the lake, and after a while, a person walked out slowly.
The rune chains binding Xie Ange were all broken at this moment.
Hu Jiuling is tall and tall, with a handsome face, every line on his face is so meaningful, and the phantom of the fox tail behind him is faintly visible.
Xie Ange counted, one, two... nine, nine tails.
It seems that Hu Jiuling will be able to come out by himself in a short time even if he is free to watch and not let others go.
Surprisingly, Hu Jiuling's figure is not thin, but tall and strong, like a mountain where a golden crow falls, and looks extremely reliable.
It is also like a gentleman walking out of an ink painting, with an indescribable and inexhaustible charm, and when he slowly raises the corners of his eyes, he shows an indescribable style, not frivolous, but calm and full of charm.
The beauty is outstanding, Qionglin Yushu, the beauty of the bone.
It is worthy of being a ghost military division known as a magnificent figure.
If it weren't for the normal eyeballs and thin lips stained with blood, he wouldn't look like a demon at all.
In Xie Ange's view, whether it is a ghost or a demon, it is a manifestation of psychological problems and falling into madness.
Hu Jiuling acted so calmly, all the madness was covered up under his beautiful skin, such a person is too scary.
"The apprentice and grandson of Baopuzi?" Hu Jiuling raised his eyebrows, his voice was low and gentle, and it sounded so sweet that it captivated people unconsciously.
Baopuzi is the patriarch of the concept of freedom.
"Exactly." Chilian said seriously.
Hu Jiuling laughed softly, his voice was like the sound of a Yaoqin, touching people's hearts a little bit.
Speaking of it, Hu Jiuling didn't do it deliberately from the beginning to the end, but the attractiveness that comes from the bones is really very tempting to commit crimes.
Chi Lian silently recited the Qingxin Jue.
Xie Ange was indifferent, causing Hu Jiuling to look at him a few more times.
After all, few people can resist the charm of the nine-tailed demon fox.Those with poor resistance were not uncommon on the spot, and Hu Jiuling saw many of them before he had cultivated Nine Tails.
People like Xie Ange are rare.
"You are entrusted by others to be loyal, I will not move you. Come, tell me, how to contact Heaven?" The ending sound was slightly lowered, becoming affectionate.
Xie Ange pulled out a little yang energy, and slapped the master, thinking, since you are not polite, then I don't have to tell you the truth of the year.
Combined with "Peach Blossom Festival", Xie Ange guessed that when Hu Jiuling was imprisoned at the bottom of the lake, he was unconscious, and he was not aware of Emperor Ziwei's kindness.
Emperor Ziwei ordered Zizai Guan to guard Hu Jiuling. Firstly, to protect Hu Jiuling;
Just looking at the nine tails behind Hu Jiuling, one can see how shrewd Emperor Ziwei's plan is.It's just that no matter how shrewd people are, they are sometimes blinded by emotions, such as Hu Jiuling.
He thinks that Hu Jiuling hates being treated like this by his lover, or being betrayed. The deeper the love, the deeper the hatred.
So he deceived people and wanted to destroy the royal family of the Jin Dynasty.In the original book, Xiao Chen loves Tao Hua so much that his blood is broken, and Hu Jiuling's plan is a success.
Even the concept of freedom guarding him has ended up with no successors.
In this life, Xie Ange completely disrupted the chess game.
Love or hate if you want to love, that is your own business, why bother to involve others.
In order to preserve his strength and avenge his former couple, Hu Jiuling, regardless of the pain of being imprisoned for many years, decided to tempt Chilian to speak out, instead of shouting and killing him as soon as he came up.
Chi Lian's face contorted for a moment, and she woke up with a start, showing vigilance towards Hu Jiuling.
Hu Jiuling's face remained unchanged, as if he didn't know what he had done, with a warm smile on his face, he was sure that he would get a satisfactory answer.
In the end, Chi Lian still told Hu Jiuling the contact method, cursing silently in her heart, they bite dogs.
***
Chi Lian didn't know what Hu Jiuling did, whether he bit the dog with Tiantinggou.
After letting go of the scourge, Chi Lian had nothing to do for a while, so she went down the mountain decisively and brought Bai Lian back.
Although the white lotus demon pill was scattered and he couldn't even maintain his human form, but at least he had a glimmer of life, and he could come back from cultivation in the future.
It's just that the full plan fell through.
And Xie Ange stayed in Yuquan Mountain, practicing in seclusion.Digest what you have learned over the years.
After leaving the customs ten years later, Xie Ange is already an Earth Immortal. He has a feeling in his heart that he is not from this world. No matter how much he continues to practice, the Earth Immortal will come to an end.
Xie Ange was not persistent either, he went to visit his friends.
Xiao Chen had already had several children. Tao Hua had followed Hu Jiuling's orders and left with him. He made the noble concubine who gave birth to the eldest son his queen.
Many years later, Chi Lian ascended to the fairy world and became a fairy.
Xiao Chen got rid of the tragic fate of "Peach Blossom Festival", and his children and grandchildren are full of children and grandchildren.
As for Xie Ange, in the last hundred or so years in this world, he still lived a fulfilling life.
As an academic Taoist priest, he went up to the mountain to retreat, traveled down the mountain, took in disciples, taught and educated people, read books, chanted scriptures and meditated, drew pictures, wrote, stroked cats, published books, ate, and slept.
Traveling all over the world, eating all the delicacies, from time to time, beheading a demon, eliminating a demon, and saving a person, it can be said to be a leisurely walk.
Finally, when Xiao Chen's grandson died on the throne, the day was cold and rainy, and Xie Ange finally ushered in the familiar darkness and tranquility.
