Officials come and go, but clerks remain forever.
Li Yunchuan was promoted and transferred because of his effective governance of Anzhou.
When Li Yunchuan left, the people of the city lined the streets to see him off. The scene was extremely lively.
Li Yunchuan, who came out of the city, went to Wenshui Pavilion. He did not go there either, but just bowed from a distance, as a farewell to Gao Xuan.
When Li Yunchuan got in the car, the butler said with some regret: "Sir, why don't you invite this person to leave with us."
Li Yunchuan shook his head: "This person sits in front of Anlong Lake every day, so he must be asking for something. There is no way he will follow us. Besides, we can't afford to support him..."
He smiled again and said, "Over the years, I have been indebted to him. In fact, I owe him."
The steward sighed, thinking how great it would be if a sword master like Gao Xuan could follow them.
Li Yunchuan was about to speak again when suddenly a flash of lightning appeared in front of him and quickly condensed into a white jade pendant.
There were complex runes engraved on the jade pendant, with a single word written in the center: Execute.
This one word carries a murderous aura.
After Li Yunchuan took two glances, he felt cold all over and didn't dare to look any more.
However, he knew that this was the talisman that Gao Xuan gave him, so he happily put it away.
The convoy escorting Li Yunchuan traveled for several days and arrived at the neighboring Mingzhou Zitong Township Post Station, but encountered trouble.
Li Yunchuan is a high-ranking official who has been transferred and promoted, so naturally he is accompanied by experts to protect him.
But a huge monster with a black cloud came to the post station. As soon as it landed, the black cloud filled the air and bewitched most people.
Only a few masters are left who rely on their strong blood and internal strength to hold on.
Li Yunchuan had various protective instruments, so he could barely hold on.
They only saw dark clouds spreading, but could not see where the monster was. Everyone was panicking.
If this continues, sooner or later you will be killed by the monsters one by one.
However, the Taoist priests who were accompanying him cast magic talismans one after another, but they were like a drop in the ocean and did not cause any ripples.
Everyone in the group felt a little desperate. No one could have imagined that they would encounter a difficult monster in such a remote place.
The rolling black cloud suddenly turned into a giant mouth and swallowed the Taoist priest in one gulp.
The Taoist screamed, and then no sound was heard.
The remaining group of people were in a panic. The Taoists were all dead, so what should they do
Several warriors looked away and thought of escaping.
However, Li Yunchuan holds a very high official position. If anything happens to him, all his bodyguards will be wanted by the government.
No one dared to escape until the last moment.
Li Yunchuan also knew that the situation was not good, but he did not believe it was a coincidence. He had just arrived here and encountered a big monster. How could he be so unlucky.
It must be that his transfer and promotion hindered certain people, so they used witchcraft to harm him.
Li Yunchuan knew this, but he didn't have any better solution.
The other party has great magical powers and can control demons. He will have no place to appeal for justice even if he dies.
Seeing the black cloud turning into a giant mouth again, Li Yunchuan picked up the jade pendant and gestured to the cloud. He was not familiar with magic and didn't know how to activate it.
But since death is imminent, I have to give it a try.
What Li Yunchuan didn't expect was that the word "诛" on the jade pendant flashed with divine light and released blazing electric light.
Thousands of lightning flashes moved like snakes, covering the four directions like a net. Amid the flashing lightning, there was a faint sound of shrill wailing.
By the time the lightning faded, the black clouds that filled the eight directions had completely dissipated.
Li Yunchuan and others were overjoyed. Two masters hurried out to investigate, and they soon found a Taoist who had been killed under a big tree outside the post station.
Most of the Taoist's body was carbonized, but it could be seen that he was wearing a purple Taoist robe. It was obvious that he was a Taoist who had been granted an imperial title by the imperial court.
Such a powerful immortal was killed by Gao Xuan's jade pendant.
Li Yunchuan stood beside the Taoist's body and sighed softly: "That true immortal also..."
Gao Xuan, who was thousands of miles away, also withdrew his spiritual power.
Li Yunchuan was overthinking it. If he hadn't used his spirit to control the thunder, it would have been impossible for him to kill the real person with just a talisman.
During the ten years in Anzhou, Gao Xuan mastered the Taiyi Leizun Mantra and the Taiyi Sutra.
The most crucial one is actually the Taiyi Tianzun diagram, which is the foundation of visualization.
You must know that without a template, it is difficult to construct a real and stable visualization image when visualizing external objects with spiritual power.
The picture of Taiyi Tianzun is to guide people on what image they should visualize.
Once the visualized image is formed, this image will in turn strengthen the magical power.
Gao Xuan's spiritual power was so strong that he quickly visualized the image of Taiyi Tianzun and understood the actual meaning of the image of Taiyi Tianzun.
This statue of Taiyi Tianzun is actually made up of thousands of runes, which correspond to itself. It condenses its own spirit into a god, so it can control all laws and defeat all demons.
This method of visualization is indeed very subtle and is very different from the Alliance's spiritual power training.
The Alliance cultivates spiritual power by concentrating their minds to open the source power nodes, so that the source power and spiritual power interact and continuously increase. At a low level, it does not emphasize visualizing specific images.
Only at the silver level can the sword intent be condensed. But this sword intent is also an abstract change and will not present a specific image in the mind.
The spiritual power is constantly condensed and finally condensed into a crystal core, which is the golden level.
In comparison, the cultivation of the alliance's spiritual power corresponds to both the inside and the outside, is relatively simple, and easier to master.
Of course, there are some complex visualization methods in the alliance, but they are all niche.
Gao Xuan had never been exposed to this school of thought. But in this mythical world, he gained a lot by visualizing the Taiyi Tianzun diagram.
By constantly mobilizing spiritual power, we can manipulate changes at a more subtle level and solidify them into shape. This is actually a good way to exercise spiritual power.
What’s even more amazing is that the visualized picture of Taiyi Tianzun can also enhance spiritual power.
After visualizing Taiyi Tianzun, Gao Xuan’s spiritual power was no longer troubled by the invisible demons.
Once the invisible demon follows his spiritual power back to his sea of consciousness, he will be killed by Taiyi Tianzun's Dharma image.
Gao Xuan studied for many years and finally figured out the essence of Taiyi Tianzun's Dharma image.
He integrated the Divine Thunder Dharma, the Taiyi Tianzun Mantra, and the Taiyi Sutra, and re-visualized the Dharma image of a Buddha.
This Dharma image uses himself as a template and corresponds to his own aura and charm, so that it can completely fit him.
In this world, most gains cannot be taken away. The gains in spiritual strength are the most tangible.
Gao Xuan called this image the Thunder God. His thunder technique also broke through the bottleneck and his cultivation level improved greatly.
Gao Xuan didn't know whether he could use this method of controlling thunder and lightning when he returned to the real world.
But just the subtle and delicate changes in controlling the thunder method have allowed him to master the essence of the power of thunder and lightning.
A deep understanding of the nature of power is not limited by any environment.
Thunder magic is secondary. What Gao Xuan wants to comprehend most is the Water and Sky Sword.
This sword technique he created was actually very simple. It was only because of the magical power of the Hongyi Sword that he was able to be invincible.
Gao Xuan observed the water by the Anlong Lake in order to gain a deeper understanding of the changes between the water and the sky.
In the mythical world, there is something mysterious and profound. It is hard to explain, but extremely magical.
Gao Xuan always felt that his opportunity was in Anlong Lake, and there was no special reason.
To him, Li Yunchuan's departure was just a trivial matter. Helping him was even less worth mentioning.
Spring comes and goes, flowers fade and bloom again.
The four seasons keep changing, and the plants and trees keep regenerating.
As time goes by, people will continue to grow old until they perish. No matter if they are emperors, generals, or peddlers, their souls will return to the void and their bodies will be buried in the earth.
"Real man, I'm leaving."
Xiaolian's hair was all white, her face was full of wrinkles, and her eyes were dull and cloudy, but her facial features still vaguely resembled those of a young girl.
For more than a hundred years, Xiaolian has been with Gao Xuan.
Gao Xuan has also become accustomed to Xiaolian's existence. He has also become accustomed to Xiaolian's slowly aging. He also knows that she will eventually die of old age.
For this reason, he also found some elixirs for Xiaolian. But this kind of acquired power could not stop the cycle of life and death.
Gao Xuan looked at the aging Xiaolian, and somehow he suddenly felt filled with emotion.
However, at this point, Xiaolian's body and mind had reached the limit, and he was powerless to do anything.
Gao Xuan could only stroke Xiao Lian's gray hair and said softly, "You have followed me for more than a hundred years. It's time for you to rest."
"I really want to be with you forever..."
Xiaolian looked at Gao Xuan's youthful face, just as he looked when she first met him a hundred years ago. She burst into tears before she could finish her words.
"I still remember the first time we met. I called you little Taoist priest. It was so nice back then..."
Xiaolian's cloudy eyes suddenly shone with a joyful and lively light, and her whole body became radiant, as if she had suddenly become decades younger.
She hugged Gao Xuan's arm and said, "Little Taoist priest, I saw my mother. We can finally be reunited."
Xiaolian thought for a moment and said, "After I die, turn me into ashes and scatter them in Anlong Lake. This way I can always be with you..."
"good."
Gao Xuancai responded and found that the light in Xiaolian's eyes gradually dimmed, but there was still a peaceful smile on her face.
"The Supreme Command, transcend your true soul..."
Gao Xuan chanted the Supreme Soul-Saving Mantra softly, and Xiaolian quickly turned into ashes in the endless flames, and scattered all over the Anlong Lake like flying snow.
Xiaolian has the best relationship with Gao Xuan and is Gao Xuan's spokesperson in Anzhou. Therefore, others respectfully call Xiaolian the Saint Aunt.
After the death of the Saint Lady, a Dharma Assembly of unprecedented scale was held in Anzhou City, with many Buddhist and Taoist masters chanting scriptures day and night.
Hundreds of thousands of people from around Anzhou City came to Anlong Lake to pay tribute.
Gao Xuan sighed, Xiaolian was very honored after her death. But to Xiaolian, what was the meaning of all this
After all, all ceremonies are for the living to see.
Since Xiaolian passed away, Gao Xuan has stopped talking. But his prestige has only grown. There are always people coming from far and wide to pay him a visit.
More than a hundred years passed like this, and suddenly one day, huge waves hundreds of feet high rose on the surface of Anlong Lake, and a white dragon flew out from the depths of the lake.
The dragon was a hundred feet long, with a single horn, white scales, and enchanting green eyes. It raised its head and let out waves of dragon roars that shook the sky.
The people of Anzhou City all heard the majestic and overbearing dragon roar. Although they didn't know what the dragon roar meant, everyone felt the strong malice conveyed by the dragon roar.
As the dragon's roar grew louder, the entire Anzhou city was shaking.
People who didn't know what was going on instinctively knelt on the ground and prayed loudly: "Master Gao is omnipotent, all demons are afraid of him, and all monsters avoid him..."
The sounds of prayers gradually gathered together, and faintly formed a countermeasure to the dragon's roar.
The dragon didn't understand what he meant, and it felt very annoyed. It instinctively swung its long tail, rolling up the vast lake water into huge waves and rushing towards the shore.
The huge waves reached the shore, but were blocked by an invisible wall. No matter how violent the waves were, they could not reach the shore.
The dragon then realized something was wrong, and its eyes fell on Gao Xuan at the Wenshui Pavilion.
Gao Xuan's magical power was rippling around him, but it couldn't be hidden from it.
The dragon mobilized its magic power without hesitation. The scales all over its body sparkled with light and water magic power gathered madly.
Gao Xuan saw the dragon controlling the water source force, like the wind controlling the clouds and the clouds controlling the rain. It was purely natural and had infinite power without any deliberate changes.
He couldn't help but realize something, and all the obstacles in the Water and Sky Sword disappeared, leaving only the pure and clear Water and Sky Sword intent.
Gao Xuan stood up and drew his sword. The sword light, as clear as water, flowed along the huge body of the dragon.
The dragon suddenly stopped moving, and its huge body was split into two pieces by the soft and clear sword light.
The dragon's blood splashed like rain, dyeing the rippling green water red.
The dragon pill in the dragon's head turned into a ball of green light and fell on the Hongyi Sword. Pure and endless water magic power rippled on the Hongyi Sword.
At the same time, the sky was covered with dark clouds and thunder flashed. The violent power of thunder was accumulating with Gao Xuan as the center.
“This is the calamity.”
Gao Xuan suddenly realized something, and he chanted loudly:
I have been searching for the truth for three hundred years, and I realized the spirit of the dragon when I saw it in the water.
Knowing that I am not a guest here, I raise my sword to break the calamity and transcend the mortal world."
The sound of poetry reciting echoed in the sky, and everyone in Anzhou City could hear it clearly.
Most people didn’t quite understand the meaning of the poem, but they vaguely knew that Gao Xuan was leaving…
As soon as the poem was finished, endless lightning fell from the sky.
Everyone in Anzhou City saw a flash of sword light rising against the sky, cutting through the heavy dark clouds of thunder, leaving behind an endless blue sky.
