Xuanjian Xianzu

Chapter 1086 Contacts

Chi Buzi looked at him with a calm expression.

Before coming here, Chi Buzi thought of various explanations - but no matter what, this mountain must be full of spies and ears, and he would never reveal too much. No matter what he said, as long as he touched on and leaked the plans of the adults behind the Li family, he would be in danger of death!
"Since I don't remember what happened on the lake, let me explain two things."

'This gentleman is most likely confined to the lake, and has made great sacrifices due to the destruction of the Yuan Mansion, even to the point where he cannot show his face in public. Otherwise, why would he do this? Moreover, he does not want to expose his relationship with me... or this gentleman's compromise is designed, to gain greater benefits through me.'

Since the fox is backed by a Yuanfu cultivator, what else could be the purpose of using him? It is to return the water to its place!

You should know that the position of Fu Shui is unusual. It is even more special in the eyes of cultivators like Chi Buzi who have profound Taoism and long heritage. The statement that Fu Shui is so vast... is not empty talk!

'In ancient times, there was a great change. Dongfang Riju, the leader of the Chi clan, secretly helped and killed Xuan Yuan with the Lord of the "Kan Water" and borrowed the vast meaning of the "Fu Water"...'

'The master of "Kanshui" tried to seize that vastness, but failed to break through the Daotai and died. Since then, that vastness has been locked in the "Kanshui" fruit position and cannot be released.'

'The result of [Zhengweizhuyuan] is called "Kanshui". Zhengwei is extremely difficult to achieve. The later "Fushui" cannot get the surplus, but more leap years. It is assisted by the three yin. The Tao is rugged and its master is changeable. It is not a dead end. I will definitely be able to prove it! '

The purpose of the Fox placing him in the hands of the Dragon became clear:

'According to Ding Jiao's meaning, it is very likely that this Lord Xuan An is unwilling to guard Yuan Mansion any longer and is determined to seek his own happiness. That is why he chose me to cultivate a friendly True Lord. However, although the water in the mansion is now vast and it is no longer the same as before, there are still many people in the world who do not want the remnants of Yuan Mansion to revive... He must have hidden this plot under the dragon's plan to cut off the Lushui Feathered Serpent, so he made this arrangement! '

After figuring this out, Chi Buzi's goals became limited to two key points:

"First, for my own life, I must, in public, identify myself as a dragon."

In the current situation, before he attains enlightenment, there is no guarantee that someone will have the intention to cause trouble and harm him. Only Du Qing and the Dragon Clan have an interest in protecting him. Since that adult has exposed his handle in the hands of the Dragon Clan, he is teaching him to surrender to the Dragon Clan. This is both his life-saving talisman and a cover-up for that adult... After all, Du Qing can only manage the country, and he has to rely on the Dragon Clan for overseas activities!

It doesn’t matter who Li Zhouwei supports, what he wants is to use this sentence to put the dragon skin on Chi Buzi!
'Secondly, it is to show loyalty to the adults.'

Chi Buzi had to clearly reveal his inclinations in order to get the most important thing:
Seeking the golden method!
The method of seeking gold by using water at the first level of Yuanfu!
But showing loyalty here would not only ruin Xuan An's plan, but also his own life. Chi Buzi was absolutely unwilling to underestimate the adults' ability to judge. In fact, when facing Xuan An, he only needed to express that he had colluded with the dragon clan. Anything else he said... would expose Xuan An's plan!
It was the combination of these considerations that made Chi Buzi express the attitude of a dragon!

The purpose of mentioning Li Jiangqun is to confirm whether Li Ximing is clear about who is standing behind him!
'grown ups?'

But after hearing this, Ximing's mind became clear, and a name emerged in his mind:

"Is it Master Shinsho? Or... which master?"

Li Ximing has not forgotten where the token of [Shanghuan Pavilion] in his hand came from! It was left by Li Jiangqun in the past, and he also used his immortal skills... But behind that immortal token is not just one person, but the entire [Heaven]!
'In terms of the tradition of Taoism and even the real power background, it cannot be said that our family has not inherited Li Jiangqun's legacy! '

Chi Buzi specifically mentioned Li Jiangqun, it's hard to say there was no hint!

He fell silent for a moment, his brows drooping slightly, and replied:
"Zhu Tiao has been looking for him several times, and he still bothers the Immortal to read out the decree again."

Chi Buzi only took a glance and knew what was going on.

"If Li Ximing didn't try to cover up and deceive me, he must have realized something. He is not completely unaware of what is going on behind my back, and he may be a participant in it."

Then he lowered his eyebrows slightly and said casually:

"There are also differences among the various clans."

Li Ximing looked at him intently. Chi Buzi had already stepped forward and said softly:
"I have been under the command of the Dragon King for many years, avoiding disasters and seeking a chance to seek the truth, but I have not completely ignored the secular world. If the King of Wei had not met the Dragon Son early, how could I have sat idly by for so many years! How could the nobles be safe until today!"

Li Ximing frowned and looked up, secretly shocked:

'The opportunity to seek the truth... No wonder he chose the dragon!'

Chi Buzi just stared at him with his eyes slightly narrowed, listening to Li Ximing's sneer:

"No wonder you don't dare to return to the sea. I wonder how many people can accommodate you, fellow Taoist!"

He tried four times in a row, and with just this one sentence, Chi Buzi finally found out the truth. He was relieved and clear in his heart:
"Li Ximing may know a little bit, but he has no idea about the real key. The real master of the Li family, the one who really works under that master, should be Li Zhouwei. This alchemist has only heard a little bit!"

There is no other reason. Li Ximing is most likely to have judged that he wanted Lushui! He must not know about the [Xinyou Luze Seal], otherwise why would he mention whether he would return to the mainland? !

The dragon sign is incompatible with Lu Shui, so it is normal for him to support him. Li Ximing's judgment is very reasonable, but what is unreasonable is that Lu Shui also supports him in asking for gold!
"In this case... if we want to get in touch with that master safely, the most suitable target is Li Zhouwei!"

When he thought about this, he noticed that Fu Xuan behind him looked embarrassed. He opened his mouth several times and was already very agitated!
"It doesn't matter, I've already found out a little bit! Since it's useless... talking to him will only increase suspicion."

The two of them were testing each other secretly, which made Fu Xuan suffer!

"These two people... these two people really don't treat me as a different place!"

Even the two of them knew that his Yuan Shang Great Master was about to break through, and there must be a group of adults in Taixu and Tianwai watching, how could he, Fu Xuan, not know? ! These words made him tremble with fear and have a headache!
"If you continue to talk about this, will you drag Lushui and Longjun out? How many people are watching this small piece of land? When a ray of light falls on my mountain, will Master still be able to break through?"

He looked embarrassed and glared at Chi Buzi fiercely. Just as he was about to speak, he saw a man in white clothes hurriedly coming up from the mountain. He was wearing a robe with wavy crescent patterns. It was Master Che Hong. He saluted the two and said:

"Daoyou Zhaojing... the Great Immortal invites you!"

Li Ximing looked solemn, but sighed deeply in his heart. He turned to Chi Buzi, narrowed his eyes slightly, and replied:
"The Immortal is now under the command of the Dragon Clan. He has found a good master. Let's wait and see!"

Chi Buzi just laughed loudly, and in the face of Fu Xuan's murderous gaze, he transformed himself into a handful of clear green water and disappeared into the depths of the void.

Li Ximing flicked his sleeves and followed Che Hong into the mountain. His heart sank again and he remained silent for a long time:
"Chi Buzi...is he still the same person?"

The person in front of him was definitely not the half-human, half-ghost Zifu from back then, but Chi Buzi would not remain completely unchanged after that encounter... It was possible that this person had been possessed by that immortal official and was just pretending to be his original self!

What shocked him even more was the vibrant light on the other person's body in the sight of the Immortal Mirror! This light was gray, but extremely strong, emitting a powerful force!
"He is the second person who has a glowing light in the eyes of the Immortal Mirror..."

The first one was Li Suining, who was still under house arrest. Li Ximing could see clearly that although the aura on the two people were different in color, they were of the same shape and had an aura of the same origin!

'What does this mean?'

Li Ximing was silent for a moment.

Since Chi Buzi was most likely possessed by someone else and became a fairy official in the fairy mirror or a hidden person in heaven, is it possible that Li Suining in the family is also a means of heaven? Or is it possible that what he got was an opportunity bestowed by heaven!
This thought lingered in his mind for a long time, and he seemed distracted. It was not until Che Hong in front of him brought him to the stone gate and stopped that Li Ximing suddenly came to his senses and listened to the white-robed immortal in front of him say:

"Fellow Taoist, please!"

Then I saw a mirror shining with silver light hanging in the depths of the cave!
This mirror is only eight inches in size and is snow-white all over. The mirror surface is bright and decorated with auspicious clouds supporting the moon and coiled dragon patterns all over. Just hanging it high up, it exudes an extremely terrifying power that intimidates!

'Lingbao!'

Li Ximing raised his eyebrows slightly, and couldn't help but marvel at the power of this treasure. It was still a bit strange:
"It is indeed a spiritual mirror."

Che Hong bowed deeply, and then floating silver light sprinkled down, and the overlapping osmanthus flowers piled up like snow. The two of them had already entered deeply into it, as if they were in a new world!

There was a simple table and a chair in front of me, and an old man was standing next to the round table.

This man was not tall, with long white hair, a round and full forehead, and weathered eyes. He stood with his hands behind his back. When he saw the two people approaching, he slightly turned his head and said:
"Daoyou Zhao Jing!"

This person is none other than Yuan Shang Zhenren!

Che Hong had already bowed and stepped aside. Li Ximing quickly returned the greeting and said:
"I don't deserve it, my junior!"

As he saluted, he raised his eyebrows to look, and the great master was also looking at him.

This great master's magical powers were already perfect, but there was nothing mysterious about his appearance. His eyes were unusually gentle, with a somewhat relieved look on his face. His pair of gray-black eyes shone over, making Li Ximing relax a little.

Yuan Shang lowered his head and said:
"That's not certain...you and I...should be family."

Li Ximing was slightly stunned, and when he saw Yuan Shang Zhenren, he smiled and said:

"When Daning was founded, the Xi family and the Ning Li family were married, and my grandmother's surname was also Li."

Li Ximing actually had some expectations in his mind, but he hesitated and said:

"Now, the world calls my family the Wei-Li-Ming-Yang bloodline..."

Yuan Shang Zhenren waved his hand to signal him to sit down and said:
"Wei Li may not be Ning Li, but Ning Li must be Wei Li. Back then, there was a lineage of Mingyang Wei Li who cultivated in the Immortal Palace. One of them traveled outside and became a disciple of the Loose Immortal [Wu Che]. His surname was Li and his name was Hengqing. He was a great man who had achieved perfection in the 'Taiyin' and ascended to the throne."

Li Ximing raised his voice to his chest, hesitated, and said in surprise:
“It’s so noble!”

He thought about many origins, but he had never thought that Ning Li’s ancestor was actually a true sovereign!

"How could it... come to this?!"

Yuan Shang Zhenren shook his head and sighed:
"Later, this True Lord seemed to have died while seeking the truth, but he left behind his bloodline. He was ordered by Wei to be sealed in Jiangbei and became the Jiangbei Li family. Many geniuses emerged from this family, including some with perfect supernatural powers!"

"And Master Donghua is the best among them!"

Yuan Shang turned around, his brows became more profound, and he said:
"Elements...Elements knew it long ago! Only Mingyang Li will protect you!"

Yuan Shang was younger, and when he was practicing, the Pure One Way was still very weak, and was not recognized by the Sun Dao Sect. But even so, he had seen the Yuan Xiu elements, so how could he not have any feelings?

When Li Ximing heard this, he stood up and said:
"I see…"

The old man looked gloomy. He turned to look at him, moved his lips, and asked:
"What happened back then... It's not that we don't know about what happened back then. In fact, Fu Xuan has asked about it! But... at that time, we couldn't persuade Chi Wei... and it was difficult for us to start a war..."

Li Ximing understood that it was the matter of his ancestors, but he was used to seeing indifference, and actually felt that this Yuan Shang Zhenren was too harsh. He raised his eyebrows and said:
"How can you blame the old man for this?"

Yuan Shang Zhenren took a step forward and said:

"This is my fault!"

His pupils were filled with sorrow, even a little embarrassed, his lips moved slightly, and he replied:

"Back then, the last Purple Mansion of the Ningli Immortal Clan... Great Immortal Guan Yu was in seclusion in my sect and handed over the last Ningli legacy to my sect. Not only did he make up for most of the missing skills in my sect, but he also helped my sect through the most difficult times with his many resources... I should never forget this kindness!"

"But I was still refining my magical powers at that time... Fu Xuan... I didn't dare to offend that devil!"

The old man stepped back, bowed deeply, and said:
"It is my fault."

Li Ximing was overwhelmed by this string of words and was actually a little at a loss. To be fair, whether it was Ning Li or Wei Li, they were too far away. The Li family was already overwhelmed by carrying the huge mountain of Wei Li, how could they also bear the cause and effect of Ning Li!
He stood aside and said with lowered eyebrows:

"Senior has said so!"

But Hong Che, who was watching this for a while, felt sad and just went to help the old man, saying:

"The Great Immortal... Didn't the Great Immortal take out various Taoist scriptures for him to refer to, and gave him the secret method and the Xuandan treasured in the Taoist collection as a gift? Even if there is a debt, how much is it!"

After hearing what he said, Yuan Shang's expression became even more gloomy. He remained silent for a long time, and there was even some gloom in his eyes that had been accumulated for a long time. He turned around and gritted his teeth:

"You are so ignorant... You are so ignorant!"

The old man's eyes were uncertain, and it was unknown who he was scolding, but Che Hong was scolded in person, his face was a little terrified, his hands were shaking, he didn't dare to help him, and said in horror:
"My lord... take care... my lord!"
