Chapter 292: Traveling to Yuanqing to Ask for a Peep
The love, hate and vengeance of the older generation!
Lingxiang understood everything, and her eyes were extremely lazy and helpless - who said that the older generation was conservative and serious? Isn't this person playing more fancy than her?
But just as Lingxiang was deep in thought, Master Lieyang suddenly changed the subject.
"However, there was another reason why Master drove me and Junior Brother Xunfeng away back then."
Hmm? Another story? That's really...
So exciting!
Lingxiang was immediately filled with anticipation, and she was almost about to move a throne and shove it against Master Lieyang's face in public.
It looked like the Wuwei Patriarch was punishing the Lieyang Immortal, but in reality, he was seeking a way out for the Yuanqing Sect. Given the Wuwei Patriarch's personality, he wouldn't care whether the person was a human or a demon.
Among the various Yuanqing treasures, the most powerful are the Hunyuan Instrument and the Dust-Guiding Mirror. The Hunyuan Instrument can predict good and bad luck and reveal the secrets of heaven, while the Dust-Guiding Mirror can understand the universe and everything in it.
The reason why the Yuanqing School was able to occupy a place among many Taoist schools was thanks to these two treasures.
However, the only one who can truly make the best use of everything is the ancestor Wuwei.
On the eve of suppressing Zhu Yan, Patriarch Wuwei had noticed the disaster that Yuan Qing's family was about to be wiped out. In order to leave a lineage for Yuan Qing, he deliberately used the excuse that humans and demons have different paths to expel the fox demon and punish his eldest disciple. It was also the fact that True Man Xunfeng would secretly release True Man Lieyang that Patriarch Wuwei had anticipated early on.
"Oh~ No wonder!" Lingxiang finally understood that the reason why her old man had the attack at that time was to take advantage of the gathering of all the sects to publicize the matter. In the future, when True Man Lieyang established his own sect, he would have a reason and could explain it to all the Taoist sects.
After all, betraying the sect is a great injustice, but if one is expelled from Yuanqing and then establishes another sect, although it is a punishment, it is more justifiable than the former.
This old man really put a lot of effort into it!
As True Man Lieyang was speaking, he suddenly sighed, his grey hair and beard revealing a sense of shame. "Back then, I was initially quite angry and resentful of Master. But later, when I was traveling west and met Yue Niang again, I realized Master's good intentions..."
"What! Who?"
Lingxiang was listening attentively, shaking her head, when she suddenly heard a familiar name and was so startled that she almost jumped up.
This sudden movement immediately attracted the attention of all the elders. Except for Shangqing Zhenren who remained motionless with his eyes closed, the other elders all cast reproachful glances at Lingxiang.
This Lingxiang is too unruly!
However, after a little thought, Master Chengxin understood it. After all, he had often seen "Yue Niang" in the past few days.
Lingxiang was so shocked at this moment that she could not come back to her senses for a while. Although her expression remained the same of staring and clicking her tongue, the thoughts in her mind had already flown away from her consciousness.
No wonder! No wonder!
No wonder Yue Niang, a great demon, is so polite to a little girl like me who is only at the foundation-building stage. No wonder Yue Niang, who is originally unruly, always asks me for whatever I want despite her harsh words. It turns out that it is all related to the old man in her family.
But Yue Niang always said that Mother had done her a favor. What was that all about? Could it be that Grandpa had already foreseen Mother's move into Yuanqing?
If we really follow this line of thought, it is not impossible. After all, in the past few hundred years, he is the only one who can ascend to heaven and withstand the seventy-two thunder tribulations.
Then why did grandpa appear in Ding'anju on purpose?
Lingxiang pondered rapidly. She didn't think that Wuwei Patriarch's actions were impulsive. If he had the ability to transcend tribulations and ascend to heaven, he would be considered an Earthly Immortal. It would be impossible for him to risk his body being left unattended and leave his soul alone just to see her before leaving.
etc……
I remember when my sea of consciousness was connected with Long Qichi, the ancient sky seemed to recognize my grandfather. The words that the old guy said before he left seemed to be something that my grandfather had planned with him long ago.
If that were the case, Grandpa had long known that he would use Zhao Wuyang to consult the Ancient Sky. At the time, he was puzzled as to why Grandpa would appear in Long Qi's Sea of Consciousness Qi Pool. If that were true, then everything would make sense.
Lingxiang suddenly remembered the scene that the ancient sky showed her a hundred days later. That devastated and deathly scene might be real.
Then why did the Ancient Sky specifically tell him what would happen a hundred days from now? Was it because he wanted him to do something?
Seeing Lingxiang standing absent-mindedly in the hall, some elders thought that Lingxiang was possessed by a demon. Fortunately, Zhenren Chengxin explained the matter of her temporary stay in Linxiang a few days ago, and the elders finally understood.
"So the little girl has met Yue Niang!" True Man Lieyang's eyes gleamed with a smile as he stroked his beard and sighed, "Yue Niang is a demon of righteousness. After informing me of my master's plans, she resolutely refused to have anything to do with me and left alone."
"Then..." Lingxiang regained consciousness and asked with a frown, "Master Lieyang's trip to Yuanqing can be considered as a violation of Master's orders. Master is a man of great righteousness and would definitely not do such a thing. I wonder what Master Lieyang's purpose in coming here is?"
Perhaps the fact that Master Lieyang had made this trip was part of his grandfather's plan. If he knew the reason, he might be able to figure out his purpose.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes immediately turned to True Man Lieyang, except True Man Shangqing, who still had his eyes closed, as if he already knew True Man Lieyang's purpose.
"This time, I have come specially to ask for the Dust-Seeing Mirror to take away." Master Lieyang narrowed his eyes, stood up and stroked his beard.
"What?!"
The elders were shocked, and Master Qianyuan immediately spoke up: "Uncle Master, you absolutely cannot do this!"
The Dust-Viewing Mirror and the Hunyuan Instrument complement each other. If one of them is lost, the other will no longer be half effective. This will indeed bring considerable losses to Yuan Qing.
However, apart from Shangqing Zhenren, Lingxiang was also extremely calm.
"Master, this move was probably something that Grandmaster had planned long ago!"
Hearing this, Shangqing Zhenren finally raised his eyes. He glanced at Lingxiang, but didn't say much, and closed his eyes again.
True Man Lieyang stroked his beard and laughed. He felt more and more that Lingxiang was indeed extremely smart. With just a few words, she could infer the deep meaning of his actions.
"That's right. This was naturally relayed by Yue Niang. Master once left me a message, saying that if he ever ascended to heaven, I must return to Yuanqing and take the precious mirror with me."
Hearing this, the elders were either stunned or beat their chests and stamped their feet, especially Master Zhao Ming.
"If that's the case, I'm afraid Master-Uncle will have to stay a few more days." Shangqing Zhenren, who had remained silent throughout, suddenly spoke up. "I think Master-Uncle Lieyang also knows that the Dust-Seeking Mirror and the Hunyuan Instrument are connected. If we want to take the precious mirror away, eight people must fast and bathe for three days, and then use the Seven Star Formation to seal its primordial spirit. After seven days, the two can be separated."
Lie Yang Zhenren knew all about this. Seven people were needed to set up the formation, and one person was needed to guard the star. Only then could the spirits be eliminated. If this was really necessary, the star guarding person's cultivation must be deep enough. So, at the moment, he had no choice but to go into battle himself.
Seeing that True Man Lieyang nodded, True Man Shangqing gave the order. From today on, all the elders had to practice a fast. In addition to fasting and bathing, they had to copy the Qingxin Jue by hand every day. After three days, they had to go into seclusion in the Wuji Hall to set up the formation. True Man Zhaoming would lead the elders' chief disciples to guard the hall outside.
As for the Yuanqing Sect, it has been fully handed over to Lingxiang for care in the next few days.
