boom-
Thunder exploded in the sky, and all that came into view was a vast expanse of white.
At the market at the foot of the mountain, when countless lightning and thunder struck the top of the mountain and a white light burst out, the townspeople and knights who were attracted by this strange sight all subconsciously closed their eyes. After a while, they felt the light fade away, and it took them a long time to open their eyes and recover from the shock.
"Oh my, I was so scared just now!" "What on earth happened!?"
"My god, my horse peed himself out of fright."
"Could it be that the master in the mountains has performed a ritual to subdue the demon? Didn't those six people say they wanted to take pens and ink?"
"Maybe... These six guys are so lucky. Who knows, they may become immortals in the future."
"Hey, if I had known earlier, I would have gone too."
Amid the sound of people whispering, the thunder gradually died down, and in the fading white light, broken tiles could be heard sliding down from the eaves and shattering with a snap.
hiss~~
The rain water that had accumulated outside the temple flashed with lightning. The old donkey, which was emitting green smoke, was trembling all over, struggling with all four hooves raised and neighing. The female ghost Hong Lian, who had hidden in the painting, barely poked her head out to observe. The sound of tiles breaking was heard, and she shrank back in fright.
Sun Yingxian sat in the puddles against the courtyard wall, her whole body weak and her limbs twitching from time to time.
"Damn it... What a huge thunder."
The Toad Taoist's robe was hanging down, his short legs were drooping, his eyes were lifeless, his cheeks were shrunken, and his consciousness was still blank.
In the rain ahead, Lu Liangsheng stood there motionless, water stains dripping down the leaves of his straw raincoat to the ground. The brush in his hand was wet by the falling raindrops and instantly turned to ashes, floating to the ground and mixing with the rain, flowing away.
If one looks closely, at this moment Lu Liangsheng's entire body seemed to have stopped moving. As the thunder struck from the sky, his magic power and demonic power operated at the same time, and the images of Buddhas and immortals that appeared rushed into the sky and met the thunder.
At the moment when the power of the thunder and lightning of heaven and earth collided with the human body's magic power, Lu Liangsheng's soul seemed to be pulled away from this world. He was motionless as if in a trance, but his consciousness was extremely clear, as if he was in a void between heaven and earth.
The demon pill's life is flourishing, and the nebula formed by the four elements and six images has become substantial, as dazzling as a galaxy.
"road… "
Lu Liangsheng, who turned into a star, seemed to be in the vast void, looking at the colorful nebula like a belt rotating around the demon pill.
“Is this my way?”
Re-read the word "Tao".
There were loud explosions and blasts all around, and the spinning nebula accelerated, making his heart surge. He seemed to be moving along with the movement. The huge demon pill began to shed fragments, revealing a fiery red color, and the burning sun brought unbearable heat.
Lu Liangsheng felt all these changes and turned into a star and flew towards the nebula. In the terrifying vortex nebula, he surrounded the scorching sun.
The nebula wrapped around the burning demon pill, and the entire void was shaking violently. The endless darkness seemed to shatter into pieces and turn into countless stars.
The Four Elements and Six Symbols wrapped the demon pill and condensed into a circle, gradually gaining a golden luster. In Lu Liangsheng's vision, there was heaven and earth, mountains rose from the ground, golden light was like the sun, and all things grew on the earth.
The golden elixir is complete, overlooking the small world within.
“This is my way!”
…
The cold raindrops dripped onto his eyelids along the tips of his hair, and his eyelashes trembled. Lu Liangsheng slowly opened his eyes, with a calm look in his eyes, and swept across the dry well.
Her lips, wet with rain, opened slightly.
"Rest well and guard this evil spirit. If you recover your spirit in the future, you can go by yourself. But if you encounter danger, you can find me at Qixia Mountain."
He turned around and walked to the courtyard wall at the entrance of the temple, picked up the master with a blank consciousness and put him on his shoulder, then reached out and stroked the Taoist's head.
The other person's twitching limbs gradually calmed down.
"Let's go."
There was no sound, and with a wave of his hand, a bamboo hat leaning against the wall flew out from the open window and landed in Lu Liangsheng's hand. He put it on his head and looked with half-covered eyes at the old donkey not far away. The donkey was half-kneeling on its front legs and struggling to get up. Its back was covered with dark blue scales, its limbs were long and thick, and its hooves were bigger.
hiss~~~
Oh~~
The old donkey shook its neck, its mane grew wildly, shaking off the rain stains, its facial muscles twisted, its long snout bared fangs, the skin and bones on both sides of its head bulged, and its neighing suddenly turned into a roar of "Ho-ang--", and it closed its eyes in pain.
puff!
The bulge broke open, and the bone extended upward in a cylindrical shape, forked, and then spread slightly obliquely, revealing a sharp, painful nipple. The hooves kicked up water, and the long tail behind him crackled in the air. A tuft of hair grew from the tip of the bald tail, dancing in the air.
With lion's mane, deer's horns, elk's body, dragon's scales and ox's tail, its posture is elegant and majestic, which is frightening.
The tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, revealing fluorescent yellow pupils. The four limbs were stretched straight. At the moment a pair of fleshy whiskers grew under the chin, the neck was raised to the sky, the long muzzle was opened, and a loud roar was heard.
“Hoo-ang—”
The scaly body flashed with electric light and moved around in the rain.
"Hey, hey... you..."
The Taoist leaned against the wall, looking at the old donkey in the interweaving lightning, his lips trembling.
"... I don't dare to ride it anymore... It's turned into a unicorn."
Lu Liangsheng was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that he had forged a golden elixir in response to the calamity, and that the old donkey would also have such good fortune. The fact that he turned into a unicorn might be related to the egg he ate in the cave of his master in Qishan before... In addition, he took on the heavenly thunder and brought it with him.
As he thought about it, the Fanglin beast waved its lion mane, looked with tiger eyes, opened its long snout to reveal its fangs, and then... stuck out its tongue with its mouth hanging, spread its hooves and trotted happily towards Lu Liangsheng, leaning over to lick his hand.
"Remember me?"
Lu Liangsheng hesitated for a moment, but still stroked its head and asked, "Are you still willing to carry the bookshelf for me?"
The old donkey nodded, turned around and ran to the temple, causing Hong Lian to scream. A moment later, he ran back with two bookshelves hanging creakingly, holding the reins in his mouth and threw them in front of the scholar.
"hehe… "
Stroking the lion's mane on the old donkey's neck, Lu Liangsheng put the bookshelf on its back. At this time, Hong Lian whispered in the painting:
"Sir, is this your old donkey?"
"yes… "
With a sigh, Lu Liangsheng took the reins and called to the Taoist who was still in a daze: "Let's go. There are people waiting for me at the Shili Pavilion ahead."
"Uh... OK..."
The Taoist swallowed his saliva and carefully followed the old donkey, looking around. After getting familiar with the old donkey for a while, he wanted to catch the long tail behind the old donkey.
"I don't know if it's a unicorn or a unicorn..."
Sniff
The old donkey walked in front and turned his neck to glare at him. Lightning flashed and frightened the Taoist so much that he jumped far away. Hong Lian laughed softly in the scroll and then disappeared into the lead-blue rain.
Outside Lanruo Temple, six old men opened their mouths slightly, listened to the laughter fading into the woods, then their eyes rolled back and they fainted.
…
On the muddy road in the southern suburbs, the people in the pavilion were all soaked by the raindrops, and a large tree not far away was charred and crackling with flames.
Yang Jian was fine, as Yang Su cast a spell to block the wind and rain, but the rest of the people looked much more embarrassed. After looking at the burning tree for a while, Yang Jian turned around and looked at his cousin on the side.
"You all have to deal with thunder like this when you practice Taoism and overcome tribulations?"
"Yes, the further we go, the more difficult and dangerous it will be." Yang Su recalled the thunder and lightning just now, and felt scared, "If we are not careful, we will die."
Yang Jian sat on a stone bench, stroked his beard and laughed: "Actually, isn't it the same as what you and I are going to do? If we are not careful, we will die and our clan will be destroyed."
Ding ding…
While the two were talking, there was a faint sound of bells in the woods in the distance. Yang Su frowned slightly, stood up and looked over there. The guards around were all masters of martial arts, so they naturally heard it as well. Their nerves were tense and they grasped the hilts of their swords one by one.
Yang Jian couldn't help but be curious, so he stood up and pushed someone away.
"Who is coming here?"
"I don't know..." Yang Su shook his head, "But it should be that Lu Liangsheng."
As the words fell, the pupils of everyone in the pavilion shrank suddenly, and they saw someone walking out from the woods opposite.
It was a figure wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat, leading a black-and-dark beast with deer horns and lion mane, walking through the lead-blue rain curtain and coming towards this side.
"Qilin..."
When Yang Su muttered this, Yang Jian and his guards were so shocked that they could not speak. Their faces turned pale and they stood in the pavilion at a loss.
