Chapter 198: Xiaolong, Xiaohu, and Xiaolan advance to the Yuqi realm; Thousand-Faced Demon! [Subscribe]

After lunch, Lin Xuan accompanied Wang Mengdi around the palace for a while and met several familiar sisters with her.

Most of those sisters were of noble birth, and some were princesses.

Knowing that Meng Di had found such a great man as Xuan Yong Hou, he was happy for her.

It was the first time for many of Wang Mengdi's sisters to see Lin Xuan. When they saw the handsome and calm Lin Xuan, their eyes suddenly brightened.

To be fair, this is the first time everyone has seen such a handsome young man!

For this reason, many sisters think that Wang Mengdi is very lucky and are very envious.

……

I finished chatting with Wang Mengdi and her sisters about the past.

Lin Xuan and the other person returned to the Marquis' Mansion.

Three days later.

Lin Xuan took Wang Mengdi and rode on good horses, galloped out of Kaifeng City and headed north!

The destination is Liaodong!
Before leaving, Lin Xuan wrote a letter and sent someone to deliver it to Shaolin Temple.

Tell the master and others about your itinerary!
……

Time passes by, and the copper kettle records the time.

In the blink of an eye, months have passed!
During these months, Tang Xiaolong, Chen Xiaohu and Hua Xiaolan seemed to be inspired by their senior brother's advancement to the realm of spiritual cultivation that day. After he came down the mountain, they put all their efforts into practicing, and finally broke through to the realm of controlling Qi in recent days!
As they entered the Qi Controlling Realm, the spiritual power of the three people also increased!

More importantly, it further awakened my innate wisdom!

The three of them have a good foundation. In Gongjin's opinion, although they are only in the small success stage of Controlling Qi, they are enough to compete with those in the great success stage of Controlling Qi!
Of course, if one uses the form of the primordial spirit, then one can sweep across the Yuqi realm!

It can be said to be invincible in the same level!

Especially when Hua Xiaolan's spirit form is used, even a strong person in the spirit refining realm will be caught off guard and suffer heavy damage!

Therefore, strictly speaking, with Tang Xiaolong and the other two being promoted to the Yuqi Realm, the level of strong men in the Shaolin Temple began to show a situation of “one super and many strong”!
This "One Super" naturally refers to Lin Xuan!

He has the two great spirits by his side, and has also obtained the magical powers passed down by Bodhisattva Puji Guangwei. He is invincible in the realm of spirit refining!

As for whether it can compete with the Golden Body Realm?
Abbot Sanzang and others were not clear.

After all, among the known masters in the world, no one has ever heard of a strong man in the Golden Body Realm.

Even if there are occasional rumors, they are just groundless.

After Tang Xiaolong and the other two were promoted to the Yuqi Realm, Abbot Sanzang gave them a long vacation and allowed them to return to the temple in the spring of next year.

But during this period, the emperor must not be absent when he comes to Shaolin to pay homage!
……

Lin Xuan and Wang Mengdi's trip to Liaodong lasted more than half a month.

What Wang Tonglin said before was true. Liaodong was a cold and bitter place. Although the soil was not barren, it was located in the border area and was often attacked by foreign enemies.

Occasional border raids are also common.

Therefore, the people there are far behind those in the Central Plains.

It is worth mentioning that Lin Xuan gained a lot from this trip to Liaodong.

Not only did he develop feelings with Wang Mengdi, but he also accidentally found several ginseng plants that were two or three hundred years old.

Of course, he also wiped out several gangs of bandits who were killing people, robbing and looting!
There was no way out. Those bandits actually wanted to target Meng Di and rob him of his belongings. How could Lin Xuan tolerate this? He suppressed the group of people in the blink of an eye!

It was not until then that the bandits were shocked to find that this seemingly young boy actually had the ability to cultivate his spirit!
Simply incredible!

Lin Xuan also learned the whereabouts of the ginseng from these bandits.

Ginseng is not easy to obtain. Even though he knew where it grew, Lin Xuan was finally forced to fight against the major forces that were trying to snatch ginseng.

Fortunately, he has extraordinary strength, and even if he is surrounded by enemies, he can still suppress them with a wave of his hand!

After this battle, both the black and white forces in Liaodong finally understood that there was such a young master in the realm of spiritual cultivation traveling around here!
This person must not be provoked!
As far as he knew, there seemed to be only one powerful person in the Spirit Refining Realm in the entire Liaodong area.

And it has reached the point where the fuel is running out!

Therefore, with Lin Xuan's current strength, he can almost walk around Liaodong.

Before coming to Liaodong, Commander Wang once told Lin Xuan that he had a comrade-in-arms named Zheng Yucheng, who was his life-long friend. The current general is Weiyuan and is guarding the border for the Song Dynasty.

If I go to the border, I can visit him.

Coincidentally, when Lin Xuan and Wang Mengdi arrived at this small border town, they happened to meet General Zheng leading his troops to chase the enemy soldiers who entered the city to loot supplies.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xuan naturally did not hesitate.

He took the enemy general's life with just one move, which immediately intimidated everyone.

General Zheng knew the enemy general very well. He was a fierce warrior on the battlefield with the ability to control Qi, and also his mortal enemy!

He dreamed of beheading this man one day.

Who would have thought that a young man would appear out of nowhere today and kill this person with just one blow!
It is obvious that he must be a master in the realm of spirit refining.

However, to see someone at such a young age reach the state of spiritual refinement is truly unheard of and unseen!

General Zheng suddenly decided to make friends.

What also puzzled General Zheng was that the girl wrapped in fur and silk clothes beside the young man had a look that was vaguely similar to that of his brother Wang.

Only afterwards did he realize that it was Brother Wang’s beloved daughter!
And this young man is the young marquis who is famous in the Central Plains!

After learning the identities of the two men, General Zheng naturally had to entertain them well.

Lin Xuan and Wang Mengdi stayed in this small border town for five days before leaving.

Interestingly, during this period, Lin Xuan killed three more enemy generals!
Also killed with one strike!
The three generals had originally come to avenge the enemy general, but unexpectedly they also suffered the same fate here.

There is no way. Lin Xuan, who is in the Spirit Refining Realm, is invincible in the world. As long as the strong men in the Golden Body Realm do not come out, no one can defeat him!

In a short time, the name of Xuan Yong Hou resounded throughout Liaodong!
The enemy no longer dared to harass this small border town.

They even moved camp back fifty miles overnight!

The title of a strong man in the realm of spirit refining is not for nothing. He can take the head of an enemy general in the midst of thousands of troops!

Especially when the three generals were killed, some people claimed with certainty that the Xuanyong Marquis of the Song Dynasty could shrink the ground into an inch and ride on clouds.

After all, they saw with their own eyes that the young man crossed a distance of hundreds or even dozens of feet in the void in the blink of an eye!
This is simply unimaginable!
Is it something a mortal can do?

……

After the trip to Liaodong, Lin Xuan and Wang Mengdi returned on horseback.

The two of them stayed in Liaodong for more than half a month, and including the trips back and forth, it was more than a month.

When they arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, the two little ones had grown up a little.

To this end, Lin Xuan and Wang Mengdi wrote notes and asked their younger brothers and sisters to draw lots to decide their names.

After drawing lots, Lin Xuan's family decided on the names of the two babies.

The boy's name is Bai Zhou.

The girl's name is Cailing.

After traveling for more than a month, Lin Xuan came back and soon began to formally practice the "Eight Seals of Acalanatha".

The Eight Great Seals of Acalanatha include the Buddha’s Wrathful Seal, the Buddha’s Zen Seal, the Buddha’s Pure Seal and the Buddha’s Appearance Seal.

There are also the Anuttara-samyak-sama, the Eight-armed-sama, the Demon-conquering-sama, and the Vajra-king-sama.

Before breaking through the Spirit Refining Realm, Lin Xuan had only achieved minor success in practicing the Buddha's Wrath Seal.

As he entered the realm of spirit refining, his soul and mental power grew, and the Buddha's Wrath Seal also reached perfection!

Lin Xuan had previously used the Buddhist Zen Seal to save Tang Xiaolong and the other two.

Now that I am in the realm of refining the spirit, I am qualified to practice cultivation.

As for the remaining Buddha Pure Seal and Buddha Appearance Seal, he was not in a hurry to practice.

Instead, practice the first two seals to perfection first, and then worry about it later.

Anyway, he has the Cauldron of Good Fortune, so he can use slow and steady methods to slowly cultivate to perfection.

……

……

It is said that although the Black Fox King managed to snatch the Mirror of the Wisdom last time, it was broken by Lin Xuan's trick, who also released ferocious monsters such as the tiger fish, catching him off guard and nearly getting hurt.

On the day he escaped, he sent people to inquire about the situation of Abbot Sanzang and others.

Even turned back.

This time, he failed to meet the wise man and ask about the second volume of the Book of Power.

Fortunately, the tiger fish was released.

This ancient demon is notorious.

The Black Fox King had personally experienced his strength. In his opinion, Abbot Sanzang and others could not be his opponents!

As long as they dare to go against the tiger fish, the old bald donkey and Lin Xuan and the other three will surely be killed by it!
Once these people die, no one in the world will be able to stop him.

Unexpectedly, it was he who had the wild idea!

Abbot Sanzang and his companions were not injured at all, but instead sealed the tiger fish back!

Now, his wishful thinking has failed!
Thinking of this, how could the Black Fox King not be angry.

However, his strength never recovered to its peak, and he had missed the chance to see the wise man once every hundred years with the mirror. It was useless for him to go to Shaolin and snatch the mirror.

As a last resort, he had to give up the idea of ​​revenge on Shaolin and turn around to continue practicing.

……

This day.

The Black Fox King woke up from his training.

At that time, Jing Zhuan entered the cave and reported:
"Your Majesty, during the few days you were in seclusion, several major events occurred in the world."

"What's the big deal?"

The Black Fox King's eyes were gloomy and intimidating, and he looked directly at Jing Chisel and asked.

Jing Zuan said carefully:
"To be honest with you, my king, the Shaolin disciple Lin Xuan broke through to the Spirit Refining Realm a month ago and is probably the youngest person in the world to reach the Spirit Refining Realm!"

"Secondly, the emperor will come to Shaolin to pay homage; thirdly, the remaining three disciples of Abbot Sanzang have also broken through to the Yuqi realm one after another."

"Finally, I found the whereabouts of the Thousand-Faced Demon."

Hearing this, the Black Fox King snorted coldly:
"Humph!"

"Shaolin is so great, it really produces so many heroes!"

"This time, I really need to think twice before I deal with Shaolin."

After a pause, he said again:
"Where is the Thousand-Faced Demon?"

"In a large tomb in Guanzhong, it seems that I am trapped."

"Your Majesty, that tomb is not a simple one. It should be the imperial mausoleum of the previous dynasty. Not only are there numerous traps inside, but there are also some strange techniques left by the Yanshi. Even if an ordinary powerful person in the Yuqi realm breaks in, he will never come back." Jing Zuan added.

In order to find the whereabouts of the Thousand-Faced Demon, the Black Fox Gang lost many experts.

Jing Zan was afraid that the king would ask them to rescue the Thousand-Faced Demon, so he gave this reminder with good intentions.

In fact, I am also afraid of death.

Hearing this, the Black Fox King suddenly smiled playfully:
"Didn't you just say that the emperor was going to Shaolin?"

Jing Zuan was stunned and said:

"I want to go to Shaolin."

"What? Could it be that the king..."

The Black Fox King had a vicious plan in mind, and sneered:

"That Thousand-Faced Demon doesn't have many special abilities, but his ability to change appearance by looking at faces is superb, and he can change into the appearance of other people at will."

"If we can get him into the team that the emperor is going to pay homage to Shaolin that day, maybe he will bring us unexpected surprises..."

The Black Fox King had also heard of the name of this Thousand-Faced Demon in his past.

It is said that it once sneaked into the palace, transformed itself into the appearance of a prince, and defiled many princesses.

This eventually angered the imperial court, which sent people to hunt him down!

But unfortunately, the Thousand-Faced Demon's ability to transform was truly extraordinary. The imperial court searched for half a year but still couldn't find any trace of it.

But after this incident, the Thousand-Faced Demon became much more obedient.

I dare not do evil so blatantly.

After coming up with a plan, the Black Fox King stood up:
"Let's go, take me to Guanzhong. I want to rescue this Thousand-Faced Demon."

"I remember that when I was traveling across the Central Plains, demons from all sides responded one after another. Now that you have found the Thousand-Faced Demon, send someone to look for the Fire Demon."

"If we can get the help of the Fire Demon, what we are planning will surely be accomplished!"

The words fell.

Jing Zuan frowned, somewhat puzzled.

"Fire demon?"

"You've never heard of this kid?"

The Black Fox King pondered and said:

"These fire demons are also called fire ghosts by the common people. Most of them live in groups, so it shouldn't be difficult to find them."

"Little one understands."

Jing Zuan nodded and said.

……

In the blink of an eye, it had been seven or eight days since Lin Xuan returned from Liaodong.

He has been practicing diligently these past few days.

Have a certain understanding of Buddhist Zen seals.

It's just a matter of time to achieve a small success.

At dusk, Lin Xuan exhaled a breath of turbid air, and his mind withdrew from the Cauldron of Creation.

He walked out of the room, ready to tease his younger siblings.

Suddenly.

I ran into Wang Mengdi head-on.

"Lin Xuan, my father is looking for you." Wang Mengdi said with her red lips moving.

"Commander Wang is here?"

Lin Xuan was stunned.

Then, he walked out quickly.

This time, Commander Wang came to the Marquis' Mansion not in casual clothes, but in armor with a solemn expression.

Seeing him dressed like this, Lin Xuan's heart moved slightly.

"Father-in-law, we're in the house, please take a seat."

"No need." Commander Wang waved his hand.

Then, he spoke seriously:
"I came to you this time for business."

"The day after tomorrow, His Majesty will go to Shaolin to pay homage, and has specifically requested that you accompany him!"

"In addition, Tang Fuyin's son Xiaolong will also be with us."

Lin Xuan had expected this, so he was not surprised to hear this:
"understood."

"I will go to the palace early the day after tomorrow."

Seeing this, Commander Wang nodded slightly.

His expression eased a little, a smile appeared on his face, he walked over and patted Lin Xuan on the shoulder, saying:

"I heard that you went to Liaodong and showed your prowess, killing several enemy generals. You really made me proud!"

The words fell.

Wang Mengdi blinked her bright eyes, as if she had guessed something, and said:
"Did Dad receive a letter from Uncle Zheng?"

Wang Daosen smiled and said, “Not bad.”

"Brother Zheng wrote to me and told me what you did in Liaodong."

On this side, after listening to what Commander Wang said, Lin Xuan said in a deep voice:
"Father-in-law, you are too kind."

"I just did it casually. Who dared to rob the people of the Song Dynasty? As the Marquis of Xuanyong appointed by His Majesty, I naturally cannot watch those enemies invade the territory of the Song Dynasty and humiliate the people!"

"well said!"

"This is the true character of a good and strong man!"

Commander Wang was greatly impressed.

Commander Wang had other things to do and did not stay in the mansion for long. When he left, he told Lin Xuan:

"Okay, it's settled. Remember to come to the palace early the day after tomorrow."
