Chapter 259: Man in the Moon
Last time, we talked about how Guangde Zhenren Zhong Youlong used the Yin-Yang Wuji technique to predict the future of Li Yi and Nangong Xue. Li Yi gave up his relationship with Nangong Xue without hesitation. So how will the subsequent story develop? Let's read on.
Li Yi came to the top of Wudang Mountain alone, looked at the moon in the sky and asked: "If you don't want me to be with other women, why do you only curse Nangong Xue? I can't understand why you do this?"
"If you can't figure it out, forget it and drink!" Yi Ling threw a gourd over and said with a smile, "This is good wine! That old man was watching very closely, I stole it with great difficulty."
"Did your uncle give it to you?"
"Hey, you guessed this? You're not as pessimistic as I thought. Drink it quickly. Master said that you are injured and drinking it will be good for you."
"There's nothing to be sad about. As long as Xue'er is okay, she will probably be much happier when she marries into the imperial palace in the future than if she followed me."
"Okay, since you've chosen to let go, don't think about her anymore! Let me tell you something serious. I can now confirm that Shiyu's memory was not erased by someone."
Li Yi chuckled and said, "This is nothing serious."
"Humph, forget it if you don't want to listen! Hey, do you want to hear news about Nangong Xue?"
Li Yi asked: "Hey, let's not talk about them, why are you so generous? Even if I'm with other women, you're not jealous at all."
"What a joke, I'm jealous of them? No need to be jealous. In twenty years, they will all be old and ugly. With your virtue, will you stay with them? But what about me? When I go back and survive the catastrophe of immortality, I will be forever young and have a long life. What can they compare with me?
Let them hang around you for a few years. You will become a Taoist sooner or later. When the time comes, you must come back to me and stay with me forever, right?"
Li Yi nodded and said, "Well, that makes sense, but have you ever thought that I would find a new love?"
"Of course you can say that now, but when you actually experience the birth, aging, illness and death of your loved ones, especially Shiyu and the other three, then you will definitely not say that."
"You think so highly of me? How can you be so sure that I will take care of them until the end of their lives?"
"You are a sentimental person. Although you are indeed a playboy, fortunately you are not a heartless person."
"You know me very well."
"The Taoist master knows you. I asked him why you were able to learn the Seven Swords that no one else could learn. He said that you are just like him, a sentimental person who values friendship and loyalty. If not for that, you would not be able to master the Seven Swords."
Li Yi smiled and said, "Well, otherwise why would I be so afraid of him? Well, since my master is the same as me, did he also have a lot of romantic debts when he was young?"
"How would I know? Who would talk about something that happened more than a hundred years ago? Why don't you go ask and tell me about it when you come back?"
"I don't dare. I'll be beaten to death if I don't!"
Yi Ling chatted with Li Yi all night. After watching the sunrise together, she stood up and stretched, and asked, "Hey, it's already dawn, aren't we going home?"
At this moment, a figure cut through the sky and flew towards the direction of Zhongdu Luoyang. It was none other than Nangong Xue who was flying on a sword.
Li Yi exhaled a breath of turbid air and said, "Okay, now we can go."
"So you're waiting for Nangong Xue? I thought you had let it go a long time ago, but I didn't expect you're still thinking about her. Okay, let's go!"
Li Yi bowed to Yi Ling, who asked in confusion, "What are you doing? Why are you bowing to me?"
"Thank you for staying with me all night. I will leave now."
"Nangong Xue is still in the Transcendent Realm! She will be fine!"
"I know. I'm going to check one more thing."
"Oh well, since you insist on leaving, I won't keep you here. Go and do your thing."
Li Yi smiled and said, "We don't know when we will meet again after this separation. Do you want a hug?"
"I don't want to, I'll wait for you to come find me in Qiyun Mountain!"
"Okay, wait for me, I will definitely come to find you." The Qi Jue sword box opened, and the Ai Sword flew out. Li Yi stepped on the sword and waved to Yi Ling.
Yi Ling suddenly shouted, "Didn't the Taoist leader say it? We don't need to worry about the black dragon, he will take care of it!"
Li Yi was stunned and murmured: "So you know everything, then you should also know that this is my fate."
Yi Ling said with red eyes: "Wait two more days, just two days! When Master is done fighting, he will go and deal with the black dragon! How can you not even wait for two days!"
Li Yi smiled and said, "It's not that I can't wait for two days, but I can't let others help me get revenge. Don't worry, I am the descendant of Hou Yi, and I am very powerful."
"That's a great demon that's close to the second rank. No matter how powerful you are, you're only at the third rank. What's the difference between you going there and committing suicide?"
Li Yi flew away on his sword, and his laughter could be heard from the sky: "I'm not going to die. I promised Shiyu that I would go home for the New Year!" Li Yi flew straight to Mobei, crossed the Wolf Mountain and headed north...
During the time when Li Yi was on his way, let's briefly explain the battle between the two sects of heaven and earth. Tao Xuan Zhenren got the chance to attack first because Li Yi won two games, which means he can mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth first, while Gui Yun Zhenren can only use his own spiritual power to withstand it, but he failed to withstand the blow and ended up dead.
This situation was not uncommon in the records of the battle between the two sects, and there was even a case where the head of the Tian Sect died on the spot. For the Tiandi Sect, the battle was to compete for the spiritual treasure of Kunlun Mountain, but for the Tiandao, it was different.
As mentioned before, the first thing that Tianzong Dao wants to do is to return to the sky to make up for it, which is equivalent to the update patch of the Tiandao system, while Dizong is the firewall of the Tiandao system. Therefore, the battle between the two sects can be understood as the self-test program of the Tiandao system, to check whether the patch is useful. If it is not useful, it will naturally have to be reloaded.
Apparently, Master Guiyun, as the next patcher, was identified as a high-risk vulnerability by the self-check program, so the firewall deleted the patch. The reason was that Master Guiyun's modification of the Supreme Forgetfulness was not pure. He did not completely clear Nangong Xue's memory, allowing her to practice the Supreme Forgetfulness with hatred, which violated the basic principle of the Heavenly Dao, and he himself deviated from the original intention of the Supreme Forgetfulness.
Okay, now Li Yi has arrived. Let’s switch the camera to him and see what he is going to do.
On an extremely cold night, Li Yi stood on the ice sheet of the North Sea, looked up at the bright moon, and then shouted with the Buddhist Lion's Roar: "Black Flood Dragon! Didn't you say that if I dare to set foot in Mobei again, you would kill me even if it meant sacrificing your life? Come out! Come out and kill me!"
"Li Yi, are you here to seek death? Then I will grant your wish!"
A three-hundred-foot-long black dragon opened its mouth and broke through the ice! Li Yi immediately summoned the hundred-foot-tall Acala Dharmakaya to fight with it. But the difference in strength between the two was too great. One was about to transform into a dragon and ascend to the second rank, and the other was about to reach the third rank. The winner was decided with just one strike.
The black dragon wrapped around Baizhang Mingwang and crushed the Dharma image as soon as it exerted its strength. It then grabbed Li Yi with its claws and razed him and a small mountain to the ground. Li Yi spat out a mouthful of blood and then fainted.
"Hmph, you are just a mere ant. You don't know your own limitations!" The black dragon snorted coldly and raised its claws to attack Li Yi.
At this moment, the moonlight suddenly illuminated the night, and the black dragon's claws were stepping towards Li Yi, but it let out a cry because its claws were pierced by a sword!
"Who are you? How dare you plot against me!"
"A secret plot? Are you worthy of that? Humph! I never thought that Dayi's reincarnation would turn out to be a useless person who couldn't even defeat a black dragon that hadn't yet transformed into a dragon!"
The black dragon looked closely and saw a fairy in plain clothes and holding a cold sword standing in front of Li Yi! The fairy was wearing a veil, and only her bright eyes, thin eyebrows and the crescent moon mark on her head could be seen. Just these eyes and the golden light in them were enough to prove that she was definitely a great beauty!
"How dare you, a mere woman, speak so arrogantly! I will kill you!" As he said that, the black dragon spit out a stream of water and headed straight for the fairy in the moon!
"Humph, a mere little snake that's a few hundred years old dares to play with water in front of me! The power of the moon, Yuehan!"
The crescent mark on the fairy's forehead emitted a cold light that shone on the water column. Not only did the water column freeze instantly, it also directly froze the black dragon.
"Even though he is useless, you have to give an explanation for injuring him! I will take your snake gall to give him some healing first!"
The fairy swung her sword in the air and slashed at the frozen black dragon. The silver sword energy directly cut through the ice and cut the black dragon into two pieces. A huge, emerald green snake gall flew in front of the fairy.
"So big? I can't eat it directly! Old Laurel, help me think of a solution!"
Suddenly a osmanthus tree grew up at the feet of the fairy. Its branches inserted into the snake gall. The snake gall quickly shrank until it disappeared. An osmanthus flower bloomed on the tree, and then quickly withered, producing a green osmanthus fruit. The oval fruit turned from green to purple and finally fixed on purple-black.
The fairy picked up an osmanthus fruit and asked, "Hey, have you removed the poison? Can I eat this fruit directly?"
An old man's face suddenly appeared on the osmanthus tree, and he said, "Don't eat too much of the fruit I produce! You're still asking if it's poisonous. If you're afraid it's poisonous, don't give it to him!"
"Tsk, you only produce a few fruits in a thousand years, and I only eat them twice. Look how distressed you are, you stingy guy!" As he said this, he stretched out his hand to help Li Yi up from the ground, pried open his mouth, and stuffed the osmanthus fruit in.
"Who are you? How dare you use my courage..."
The fairy was surprised and said, "Hey? Your little snake is not dead yet, it is quite resilient. Old Laurel, I give it to you, just in time to replenish your body."
The osmanthus tree suddenly extended its branches towards the black dragon that was broken into two pieces, but after hearing the black dragon's painful groan, its body quickly shrank like the snake gall just now, and finally disappeared.
The old face on the osmanthus tree suddenly said, "Come out!"
A white fox ran up to the fairy and the osmanthus tree, lowered its front legs, bowed and said, "I am Bai Ruoyi from the Qingqiu Nine-tailed Fox Clan, greeting the fairy Chang'e."
"How come there are only six tails left in the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan? Where is your tail?"
"It was cut off by Li Yi."
"Oh, you Qingqiu Fox Clan have a grudge against him. Are you here to kill him? Go ahead and kill him. I won't stop you."
"Fairy, you are joking. It is true that our fox tribe has a grudge against Hou Yi, but Ruoyi came here this time to repay her gratitude."
"Repay a favor? He cut off your tail. Where is the gratitude between you two?"
"It's not his kindness, but your kindness, fairy."
"My favor? Oh, you mean the black dragon? He deliberately used this trick to force me to show up. He had something to ask me, and killing the black dragon was just a side job."
The old man on the osmanthus tree said unhappily, "Did you kill the black dragon? Didn't I kill it?"
The white fox was surprised and asked, "May I ask, Fairy, is this osmanthus tree your magic weapon or your pet?"
"Spiritual pet? Magical weapon? Hahaha, Old Laurel, it actually thought you were my magic weapon or spiritual pet!"
"Hmph, you are blind!" The osmanthus tree suddenly disappeared.
"Oh, this old man has a bad temper, little fox, he is not a spiritual pet, he is the Old Laurel of the Moon, and his age is older than this world. Even the Heavenly Dao or Empress Tai'an are juniors in front of him."
The white fox was surprised and said, "Is this true? Is there a being in this world that is more ancient than the Heavenly Dao and Empress Tai'an?"
"You little fox have only lived for a few years, how can you know the mysteries of this world? Tiandao and Tai'an Niangniang were also transformed from the gods who created the world. Old Yuegui existed at the same time as Pangu, and even older than Pangu."
