From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 194 Human-Shaped Heavenly Tribulation, Lightning Strike Cherry Blossoms [5K chapter, please subscribe! Please give me a monthly ticket!]

Except for a few people from Baiyun Mountain, it was the first time for everyone present to see Li Yang use the "Wooden Thunder Dharma Body".

"Thunderbolt is the master of heaven and earth"

"Thunder is the command of heaven. It has the greatest power. Everything in the three realms and nine lands is under the control of the Thunder Department."

The thunder on Li Yang's body at this time was not ordinary thunder, but Eastern Green Wood Thunder. Ordinary monster cultivators, let alone fighting against him, would be exhausted and fall to the ground begging for mercy just from a height of tens of thousands meters.

Suzuki Mina did not participate in the plan participated by Sugawa Fuu and Kamo Tadayuki. At this time, she was mixed in the crowd, recalling the fear she felt when she had a glimpse of him from a distance in the Sakura Country that day, and almost collapsed to the ground.

Her shikigami, Teng Snake, is actually a slightly stronger monster spirit, and the fear of thunder is ingrained in its bones.

"Now I can kill gods!!"

Qi Chuanfeng wanted to make a final struggle. He picked up the sparrow monster and stomped on the ground with a bang. The huge reaction force made him shoot out and slash at Li Yang in the sky with a sword.

Li Yang's eyes also sparkled with brilliance, and two rays of lightning shot out as his eyes opened and closed.

Boom! The two points of lightning quickly expanded, and in the blink of an eye, they filled the sky above the Yellow Emperor's Palace like a flood. The blue-silver lightning was like a boiling cloud, and it drowned Qi Chuanfeng who jumped into the air like a galaxy.

"Bang!" Along with the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, thunder and lightning clouds also covered the ground.
The area filled with thunder and lightning instantly evolved into a hazy thunder mist. Heart-wrenching wails were heard from the mist. The sound seemed to come from the underworld, as if someone was being skinned, bones ground, and chopped to death.

Li Yang, with silver hair draped over his shoulders, snorted coldly, without looking at the situation below his feet, and flew right above Kamo Tadayuki.

The Chinese monks around immediately made room for them.

Qi Chuanfeng's wailing did not stop, echoing mournfully throughout the hall, making people feel cold in their hearts.

He Maozhong smiled bitterly, as if he had aged a dozen years in an instant, and he muttered to himself:

"We thought that realm was just a legend."

Above the Great Crow, in the Land of Sakura, is a place called 'Tsukuyomi'.

That is already the realm of the gods in their myths and legends.

"Let me ask you, what treasure did you steal in the Danxia Cave of Laojun Mountain that day?"

Li Yang in the sky had a blank expression on his face and spoke indifferently.

He Maozhong shook his head: "I won't tell you. Just kill me. It is my honor to die for His Majesty Tianhuang."

"Are you reminding me to go and kill your so-called Tianhuang now?" Li Yang said playfully.

Kamo Tadayuki's expression changed drastically: "No, you can't do this, otherwise the Great Sakura Empire and the whole world will not let you go!"

"Humph!"

Li Yang said no more, waved his hand and a ball of lightning covered Kamo Tadayuki.

"what!!"

Lightning covered Kamo Tadayuki, and another shrill and wailing scream was heard in the hall.

Li Yang's gaze did not linger, but turned to look at the last big black in Sakura Country, Suzuki Mina.

Suzuki Mina was so frightened that her face turned pale. She knelt on the ground in panic, fearing that if she was a second late, she would be met with another ball of lightning.

"I don't know about the affairs of Sugawa Fuu and Kamo Tadayuki." Suzuki Mina spoke very quickly: "There were two people who stole the treasures of Danxia Cave. Tsuruta Ken is dead, but I secretly intercepted the other one, Watanabe Yoshiaki!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Riko rushed in carrying a man tied up.

Watanabe Yoshiaki was tied up so tightly that he could not move, and was thrown to the ground like a dead pig.

Li Yang couldn't help but look at Suzuki Mina again. This guy had obviously anticipated the actions of Sugawa Feng and Kamo Tadayuki, and tied up Watanabe Yoshiaki in advance to leave a way out for himself.

Li Yang had no intention of interrogating Watanabe Yoshiaki, and said to Qi Qiansu: "The next matter will be left to you to handle."

After saying that, Li Yang turned into a ray of lightning and rushed out. In a moment, only a residual shadow was left at an altitude of ten thousand meters.

"Detain all members of the Sakura Country delegation! Investigate and hand over all those involved in this incident!"

Qi Qiansu gave orders calmly, and most of the Yatagarasu people were frightened by Li Yang's terrifying power and surrendered.

In the middle of the conversation, someone claimed that this was an exchange between the two delegations and that China had no right to detain or interrogate anyone, but was slapped in the face by Zhao Ziyao and Gao Miao.

The wailing sounds from the two lightning bolts in the Yellow Emperor's Palace continued until the evening. Even Qi Qiansu was very curious. Suzuki Mina clearly said that Qichuan Feng only had a few minutes to live, so why was he still executed for so long?

As the lightning faded, the air was filled with the smell of ionized burning, and two piles of twisted charcoal remained in the two open spaces.

The 'Sparrow Demon' was inserted diagonally into the ground. Someone wanted to pull it out, but as soon as it was touched, the Sparrow Demon shattered from the handle to the blade, turning into fragments all over the ground.

It was not until this time that everyone had a real understanding of the power of the lightning that Li Yang casually released.

Some people wondered where Li Yang went in the morning. With his speed, he had not returned until the evening.

Qi Qiansu looked anxious.
Can Master Li really kill Tianhuang of the Sakura Country?
That would be a world-shattering event, and no one could predict the huge international wave it would cause. It might even directly kick off the third season.

It was not until after eight o'clock in the evening that a beam of sword light finally fell on Qingcheng Mountain.

Everyone immediately went forward, and only breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that they were not going to kill Tianhuang.

"I need a world map. It's so hard to find a place when flying around. I finished my work at noon, but ended up wandering in the Pacific Ocean and got lost all the way to the Arctic Ocean. I just found my way back now!"

Listening to Li Yang's complaints, Chi Yanhong couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The results of the investigation into the matter came out very quickly. Among the Yatagarasu delegation from the Sakura Country, only the Onmyoji Department remained clean. Most of the members of the Military Secret Department and the Taoist Ceremonial Department were detained and will face 5 to 10 years behind bars in China.

The thing that Tsuruta Ken and Watanabe Yoshiaki stole was also found in Kamo Tadayuki's room, which was a bronze plate.

When Li Yang saw the bronze plate, the entire plate had been shattered into pieces. The old scoundrel Kamo Tadayuki had destroyed the thing before the innate competition.

When interrogating Watanabe Yoshiaki, he was still unclear about the purpose of stealing the bronze plate, and the clues of the case were cut off.

After the investigation, the Chinese cultivation community demanded compensation for the matter of Sugawa Feng and Kamo Tadayuki, and wanted to seize the sword of Ame Murasaki.

After Suzuki Mina's hard work, the compensation was changed from the sword of Ame-no-Kume to a Yasakani no Magatama and a shikigami.

In the history of Sakura Country, Yasakani no Magatama is of the same level as the sword of Ame Murakumo. In addition, Suzuki Mina guaranteed that the quality of the Shikigami would not be lower than her Teng Snake. After discussion, the Chinese side agreed to change the compensation.

The truth is so magical. Chen Xiyan and Zheng Zhaoyuan have been rescued. It can be said that there is no loss on the Chinese side, but the Sakura Country has lost nearly half of its cultivation forces.

However, when the Dao League demanded compensation, Suzuki Mina and the Sakura Country did not object at all.

Strength is the greatest basis for exchanges between the two countries.

From then on, a secret exchange and battle between the two countries' cultivation circles came to a successful conclusion.

Seven days later, Suzuki Mina led the remaining members of the delegation and finally returned home by plane. Xie Yu personally sent them on the plane with a smile.

Internationally, China's diplomatic corps announced that a delegation from the Kingdom of Sakura was hit by a flash flood while touring Mount Qingcheng, and most of its members were unfortunately killed. The diplomatic corps expressed its apologies and condolences.

The diplomat of the Sakura Country has been slow to respond.

The flight landed at Sakura National Airport.

After getting off the plane, everyone was listless, with a dull look and no light in their eyes.

This trip to China dealt a huge blow to the spiritual practice community in Sakura Country.

Not to mention the hopeless Li Yang, even the dozens of Great Crow-level fighters that had already been revealed on the surface made them unable to come up with any ideas.

Originally there were only three great crows in the Yatagarasu, and now two of them were killed at once. It will take at least several years for them to recover.

Looking at the expressions of the members around her, Suzuki Mina naturally knew what they were thinking. She wanted to comfort them but didn't know how to start.

Among the delegation, only Prince Kitashirakawa, who was holding the sword Ame Murakami, still had an expressionless face. When he left the airport, a driver was already waiting for him.

"Kubai-kun, where are you going? The Yatagarasu are about to hold a meeting to elect leaders for the Butami and Dogi divisions."

Suzuki Mina frowned and asked.

Kitashirakawa said coldly: "I am going to return the Murasaki sword. The current Yatagarasu is no longer worthy of owning it."

A trace of anger flashed across Suzuki Mina's face. She spent such a huge price to preserve the sword Ame Murasakumo because she was impressed by its combat power. Now, she is the only one left in the Yatagarasu, and she should have been in charge of it.

But now Prince Kitashirakawa said that Yatagarasu was no longer worthy of possessing the sword Ame-no-Murasakumo. How could she not be angry?

"Kubai-kun, I am the only one in Sakura Country right now. Who do you want to return the Kusanagi sword to?!"

Kitashirakawa just rolled his eyes at her:
"Send it to the original owner of this sword." After saying that, Kitashirakawa closed the car door and drove away, leaving Suzuki Mina jumping on the spot.

But she didn't dare to do anything to Kitashirakawa Palace. This guy came from an extremely ancient and powerful family in Sakura Country. Even the madman Qichuan Feng didn't dare to do anything to Kitashirakawa.

Although she was jumping up and down, Suzuki Mina quickly cheered up, because there was still a big cake, the Yatagarasu, waiting for her.

Now she is the only Great Crow among the Yatagarasu, and the Wu Mi Dao Yi tribes are leaderless. This is a perfect opportunity for her to absorb and expand her power.

The surrounding area was bustling with people, and the car carrying Prince Kitashirakawa was shuttling on the road, slowly turning into a small dot.

The car turned left and right for about an hour and stopped in front of a temple.

This is Shitennoji Temple, the oldest temple building in Osaka.

Shitennoji Temple has been rebuilt many times and has long lost its original ancient charm. The exterior walls are newly painted red, and the courtyard buildings were also built in recent years.

There are many tourists in Shitennoji Temple, including tourists from various countries checking in and taking photos.

There are fewer tourists tonight than before, because a big event happened in the Sakura Country a few days ago:
After being struck by lightning last year, the shrine was struck by lightning again seven days ago because the lightning protection device was not properly maintained. The hundreds of meters long building was completely engulfed in fire, and many high-ranking military officers who were visiting the shrine at the time were also killed.

Many people came to watch the fun.

Prince Kitashirakawa, carrying the Kusanagi sword wrapped in gray cloth, went deep into the temple through the main gate.

Many of the pavilions, terraces, and fake gardens along the way were designed based on those in China.

The pace of Kitashirakawa Palace was steady. The further we went in, the fewer tourists there were, until we arrived in front of a courtyard.

There is a sign in front of the gate of the courtyard, which reads "No Visitors Allowed" in various languages.

Prince Kitashirakawa had a cold expression on his face, as if he didn't see the sign, and reached out to push open the door.

"squeak"

It was the creaking sound of rotten wood rubbing against each other.

It was already night and there was no light in the courtyard. When I entered, I saw a weed-covered courtyard. The door of the room in the middle was closed and there was not even the sound of cicadas or insects.

There are no lights, no electric wires, and no trace of modern technological civilization can be found in this courtyard.

In the darkness, Prince Kitashirakawa seemed to be able to see. He knelt skillfully on the stone cushion in the courtyard, took off the sword Ame-no-Kume from his back and placed it in front of him.

In front of him was a rice paper sliding door with a dark gold three-legged crow totem painted on it.

"I returned from China with the Kusanagi sword."

Prince Kitashirakawa spoke, but the room behind the sliding door was still dead silent.

"Yataguro suffered heavy losses. Sugawa and Kamo are both dead, and a Tsukuyomi appeared in Huaguo."

Prince Kitashirakawa seemed to be talking to himself, briefly reporting on his trip to China, but no one in the courtyard responded to him.

The courtyard was filled with weeds and eerily quiet.

Prince Kitashirakawa paused, then looked up at the dark gold three-legged crow totem on the sliding door.

“Also, that thing appeared.”

"Whoo~"

got windy.

In a moment, the whole courtyard was filled with strong winds, grass and trees were flying everywhere, and leaves were dancing wildly as if ghosts and gods were coming.

Prince Kitashirakawa knelt steadily on the stone cushion, his eyes shining frighteningly.

"brush."

The rice paper sliding door suddenly opened, and from Prince Kitashirakawa's perspective, a figure in a black robe stood in front of the shrine in the center of the room.

On the cabinet of the shrine, there was no plaque with the name of the god written on it like in ordinary people's homes. There were not even candles or incense sticks, only a few jars of withered flowers.

With a swish, the sword of Ama-no-Murakumo flew up from in front of Kitashirakawa Palace and landed in the hand of the black-robed figure.

"Where is that thing?"

It seemed like he hadn't spoken for a long time. Although he was excited, the voice of the black-robed figure was a little obscure and hoarse.

"Huaguo Tsukuyomi, on Li Yang's body."

"Tsukuyomi?"

The black-robed figure seemed to be looking down in deep thought.

Dead silence. The entire courtyard fell into the abyss of darkness and silence.

Moonlight shines through the clouds into the courtyard.
Kitashirakawa finally saw clearly that what was enshrined in the shrine was an eight-headed giant snake with bloodshot eyes and black scales...
-
It is basically certain that what Qi Chuanfeng is looking for is the spiritual feather passed down from the Danxia Cave in Laojun Mountain.

Li Yang thought of the suicide attack that Qi Chuanfeng had carried out on himself, as well as the three-legged strange bird that circled over the Taoist temple where he lived that night, and he had some guesses.

But Li Yang laid out all the treasures on him, the Moon Essence Wheel, the Nanming Sword, the Earth Milk, various small magical instruments, the bronze lamp, and the messy things in the storage ring, and checked them one by one, but there was no treasure that looked like a feather.

According to Taoist Master Yanming from Laojun Mountain in Shuchuan, this piece of jade is radiant and dazzling. If I have seen it before or even have it on my own body, how could I not have any impression of it at all?

Li Yang later asked Xie Yu to look for the crazy monk who kidnapped Ling Yu in the 1930s, but it was such a long time ago that no useful information could be found.

After working hard for a long time and still finding no useful information, Li Yang had to put the matter aside for the time being.

Since the Sakura Country delegation left, Li Yang, Chi Yanhong and others stayed in Qingcheng Mountain for a few more days.

Ahem, during these few days, one thing was to discuss scriptures and doctrines with several innates, and the other, of course, was to divide the spoils.

Among the things that Sakura Country paid as compensation, one was Yasakani no Magatama and the other was the Shikigami 'Gui'

'Guiren', like 'Tengshe', is also one of the twelve most powerful shikigami passed down in Sakura Country since ancient times. It looks like three transparent whales.

What Li Yang got was the Yasakani no Magatama.

Originally, Baiyun Mountain had the Yinshan Soul-raising Technique, and this Shikigami was originally planned to be given to Baiyun Mountain, but Li Yang himself did not need it. Zhu Ling already had a ghost child, who was no worse than this "noble man", so Li Yang turned to ask for this Yasakani no Magatama.

The ability of the Yasakani no Magatama is unknown, but judging from the fact that Kamo Tadayoshi used it to stimulate the dying Qichuan Feng's vitality that day, its effect is definitely not weak.

After Li Yang obtained the Yasakani no Magatama, he gave the Yanbo Shade to Jin Ying and stayed in Qingcheng Mountain for a few more days.

There are now six innate masters in Qingcheng Mountain, all of whom are the leaders in their respective lineages. In addition, Gao Miao and the people from the Special Bureau of Wutai Mountain have not left for the time being. Li Yang and Chi Yanhong discuss scriptures and preach the Dharma with them every day and benefit a lot from them.

Chen Xiyan and Zheng Zhaoyuan have basically recovered thanks to the official support of resources. Zheng Zhaoyuan's severed hand has also been reattached, but it's not as flexible as before.

Talking about swordplay with Qi Qiansu, thunder magic with Wu Peng, talismans with Chen Xiyan, and formations with Zheng Zhaoyuan, my days were quite fulfilling and interesting.

During this period, Zhu Ling was sitting cross-legged in the mountains one day, and he suddenly had an epiphany and broke through to awaken his spirit. At Zhao Ziyao's instigation, he had another fight with Jin Ying.

The battle was so grand that it attracted most of the Taoist masters to watch.

Zhu Ling used the ghost child, while Jin Ying used the ever-changing Smoke and Wave Cover. The two fought for half an hour, and in the end, both sides were exhausted and there was no winner.

Afterwards, Zhao Ziyao was severely scolded by Li Yang.

On March 10th, except for the Taoist Alliance, all the innates on Qingcheng Mountain left one after another.

On March 21st, less than two weeks after Li Yang, Chi Yanhong and others returned to Baiyun Mountain, the construction of the Taoist Alliance's various meeting buildings was completed.

At this time, public opinion is like a layer of window paper. Under the official preparations, many people already know what is behind the window paper, but no one with enough weight dares to break it.

They are waiting for the next move from the Chinese authorities.

The revival of spiritual energy is radiating from Shuchuan to all parts of China, and the appointment of Taoist priests to various branch locations has been put on the agenda.

At the end of March, the launching ceremony of the Taoist Alliance was officially held in front of Laojun Pavilion in Qingcheng Mountain.

The ceremony was grand and dozens of elderly people from Beijing secretly arrived on a special plane. Mount Wutai, the Special Bureau, Baiyun Mountain and Changbai Mountain also sent special personnel to the scene.

Li Yang and Chi Yanhong were not used to such an official and formal scene, so they did not attend the ceremony. Instead, they sent Zhao Ziyao and their disciples Zhu Ling and Wang Xin to participate in the ceremony.

During the ceremony, Zhao Ziyao wanted to find someone to chat with, but she found that the mood of the entire Taoist Alliance was not very high.

After this ceremony, it is foreshadowed that the various lineages of the Qingcheng Mountain Taoist Alliance will be dispersed to various parts of China. The scene of the Taoist Alliance's six innates and forty-six awakened spirits gathering together like today will only be possible to reappear in the future during the Luotian Grand Ceremony and the Taoist Alliance branch's performance report every four years.
