Chapter 64: A proud dragon has regrets
"Your Six Ding and Six Jia magic spell is really powerful. How did you do it?" Li Daoxuan was intrigued by the little girl and asked her quietly.
The little girl raised her face high, like a child showing off a new toy to her friends in the village. Her eyes were crescent-shaped, and she looked at him proudly: "Of course I am good, so I can cast such a spell."
"It seems you are a genius." Li Daoxuan wanted to tease her again, so he praised her. "I have never seen a genius before, but I felt you were extraordinary the first time I saw you."
"Why is it so unusual?" the little girl asked curiously.
"My master and I have learned the art of looking at qi. Seeing that there is a three-inch-three-inch purple glow coming out of your crown, I am sure that you are a rare genius in a century. When I saw you showing off your skills just now, I felt that you are more than ordinary." Li Daoxuan made up a lot of nonsense and praised the little girl so much that her eyebrows were bent with smiles.
With a cheerful smile on her face, she was very satisfied with Li Daoxuan's words.
"You are smart enough to realize how powerful I am. From what I heard about your conversation with that Taoist earlier, are you a disciple of Mount Mao?"
"Yes, he is just a Buddhist disciple. He is not a big deal. If I had half of your ability, young lady, I would not be caught here." Li Daoxuan pretended to sigh.
"That's true. If you had half of my ability, you wouldn't have been knocked unconscious by someone." The little girl said with a smile, as if she was revealing something. Li Daoxuan was moved when he heard it.
"You are also at the Wang family?"
"Of course, we waited in Wang's house for a long time. We caught the tail of these Taiping thieves and followed them in." The little girl said some things nonchalantly, and listening to her words, Li Daoxuan understood that what these Taiping thieves did had long been known to people.
But how come so many dignitaries were caught in the trap when the news was so well-informed? Could it be...
"Were you also the ones who leaked the news of the opening of Longling?" Li Daoxuan asked again.
"This was all Sister Qingque's idea. She just calculated that these Taiping thieves would definitely enter Longling today." Li Daoxuan felt a little complicated about the little girl's careless words. He originally thought that this group of people came in by accident, but he didn't expect that it was the mantis catching the cicada and the oriole behind.
The actions of this Taoist and the yellow-robed group were almost all calculated by others. Perhaps this group of people even knew what they were going to do when they came here.
The only ones who were confused were those who knew nothing about it. Even Li Daoxuan had heard Wang Huan's reminder but did not think much about it.
If it weren't for the fact that these remaining Taiping people were not greedy for killing and needed a living sacrifice, I'm afraid he would have been killed as well.
But looking at the abilities of this group of people, each of them is not an ordinary person. Even if Li Daoxuan can repel a few of them, if the Taoist priest and the yellow-robed strong man Wei An join forces, he will not even have a chance to turn the tables.
"You are still young. Learn the lesson and think more about it next time." Li Daoxuan could only comfort himself in this way.
"If I hadn't forced you out just now, would you still come out?"
"Maybe, maybe not." The little girl shook her head and looked at Li Daoxuan with some interest. "Aunt Bai said that life and death are determined by fate. It depends on your luck. But you are very lucky to have found our hiding place by accident. We used strange secret techniques to hide our aura, but you were able to find it. I can only say that you are really lucky."
"..." Li Daoxuan found it funny but didn't say that it wasn't just his good luck.
Is the sky blind? Can it still not see you?
But today he was taught a lesson. It is always right to think more before doing things.
If he had been able to connect the hexagram with Wang Huan's words, perhaps he would not have brought only three usable talismans when he went to Wang's house.
"No matter what, I still want to thank you. Thank you. This gift is my way of repaying you for saving my life, and I hope you can accept it." Li Daoxuan said sincerely and took out a protective jade pendant from his waist.
That was a gift from his fellow brothers when he came down the mountain, and he chose one of the good-looking ones to carry with him. He didn't expect it to be of any use, but now it's a good idea to give it away as a favor.
"Tu, why are you saying this suddenly..." The little girl's face turned red, and she couldn't speak clearly. Her eyes shone in the firelight, and she seemed very happy. "But you are right. After all, I saved you, so I will accept this thank you gift." She took the gift from Li Daoxuan's hand, took it in her hand and looked at it. Then she nodded to Li Daoxuan with satisfaction, pinched the jade pendant and said, "You are a kind-hearted boy who knows how to thank your savior. You can use my name when you travel around in the world, and those low-class disciples will not bully you."
"Then when I travel the world in the future, I hope the lady can protect me." Li Daoxuan obeyed her words and said, thinking that this girl was really interesting and had learned to use these titles in the world.
"Very good, very good."
One was flattering, the other was enjoying it. As they were talking excitedly, they heard screams coming from the high platform.
When I looked up, I saw someone had been chopped down to the ground.
The five generals were dealt with by everyone together, and they were exhausted and scattered, turning into green smoke and drifting away.
The yellow-robed people retreated to the high platform, and the strong man Wei An rode in front of them, making it difficult for the people from Jianghu to take a step forward. It was really like one man guarding the pass, ten thousand men could not open it.
"Something's going to happen." The little girl said seriously, looking at the situation on the platform. She turned her head to look at Li Daoxuan and warned him. "Just stay here and be safe. Those Taiping thieves will probably fight desperately. There will be a big chaos later. You have to save your life."
"I know, don't worry." Li Daoxuan nodded, and he also looked at the Taoist sitting in front of the golden coffin. His hair was getting grayer, and his originally sturdy body was hunched. He sat in front of the seven-star lamp, closed his eyes and chanted a spell, and the black energy on his body gradually became thicker.
"I'm afraid it's coming." Li Daoxuan murmured to himself.
The little girl left to look for her friends. Bai Li, who had been standing still, finally moved. She took off the sword hanging from her waist and slowly pulled it out of the scabbard.
"You are already powerless to change the situation, why do you still fight?" Bai Li's voice seemed to be clear and penetrated the battlefield to reach the Taoist's ears.
The Taoist finished reading the last word and slowly opened his weathered eyes. At this moment, his face was already full of wrinkles. He looked like a 100-year-old man, already in his old age.
"When I was young, I was also a man of high spirits." The Taoist said with a smile. "I thought I could help the weak and fight against the strong, and help the world."
"Later, I realized that nothing is so easy in this world. You and I are just a grain of sand in the mortal world. What kind of storm can we cause?"
"Now I just want to do something that I won't regret."
After the Taoist finished speaking, he pointed his finger into the coffin. The heavy golden coffin trembled and made a sound, as if something was struggling inside.
Suddenly, a dragon roar pierced through the tomb, and it seemed that something had escaped from outside the tomb. Everyone present was terrified, and they all stood there for a moment.
"Is this, Dragon's Roar?!"
"What's going on?! Didn't they say that Longling's real dragon had already flown away?"
Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
Only Bai Li had a solemn expression, his eyes fixed on the Taoist priest.
"A strong dragon has regrets."
Upper Nine, The arrogant dragon will regret. Fullness cannot last long. After a long time, it will become too arrogant. When things reach their extreme, they will turn around, so there will be regrets.
