One hundred and fifty: Taodu
A strange man came to Luming Academy. The strange man was named Li Dan. According to Liu Jian, who was next to him, Li Dan was from the Qing Tombs of Lizhou, but there were two students from Lizhou in the academy who had never heard of this name. His identity was covered with a layer of hazy mist.
After Xu Yingqiu visited, Li Dan was in seclusion for another six days. After leaving the country, he rarely interacted with others.
He was invited by the mountain leader and went to drink twice.
Cui Hanzhen, who had had a dispute with Li Dan, thought hard for half a month behind closed doors and suddenly one night, realized some truths in front of the candle. This lecturer who was almost aware of his fate picked up his obsession again. The next morning, he went outside the Qingxin Courtyard and apologized to Li Dan in public.
On that day, he resigned from his post as a lecturer, collected money, left Xuandu, went east to Yujing, and then took the Qianyuan Academy entrance examination.
In addition to these few social interactions, Li Dan has always been alone and has his whereabouts mysterious.
The rumors about him became more and more bizarre.
It is said that someone once followed Li Dan into the mountain because of curiosity. On that rare sunny afternoon, the mountain fog started. The man got lost in the fog, went around and returned to his original place, losing Li Dan's trace.
On a morning when the drizzle was drizzling, someone saw Li Dan in the willow forest in Shanyin and saw a beautiful woman following him. He looked like a mountain ghost girl, with a beautiful appearance and a bright look.
Someone once saw him breaking off an elm bark that was struck by lightning, and painting it on the mountain wall for a few strokes, and it turned into a picture of a spring stream.
Someone once met Li Dan in the mountains. He was wearing a sackclothed garlic and covered with flowers on his face. His long hair was dripping, just like a witch.
Someone once saw Li Dan sitting alone in the pavilion in that flowerless peach forest, holding a mirror, sometimes laughing and sometimes crying.
...
Perhaps it was because Li Chan cleaned the first dirt mirror in the pavilion. Whenever he looked at the mirror, he would always go to the ancient pavilion of the Peach Blossom Forest.
He once asked the monsters around him to see the mirror. In the eyes of the monsters, the mirror was still blurred, but he could see the clear mirror.
Whenever he saw a mirror, he seemed to have become a person in the mirror, experiencing his joys, sorrows, and joys.
He just looked at one side, two side, and three side mirrors.
...
In the forest of Luming Mountain, there are still some pink and white peach petals remaining. As the night is cold and the day is warm, the sun and rain alternate, gradually becoming the same color as the heaven and earth, rotting into spring mud.
At the far west, on Dushuo Mountain, the large peach wood connects the sky and the earth, and the peach blossoms on the branches are still as blazing as fire, burning the entire dome.
The carriage from the Dayong Kingdom was trekking forward under the shade of scarlet colors.
When this team was compared with Longwu Pass, there were a lot of scary scars on Fengchenwei's golden armor. When the armor was rubbing, the evil spirits seemed to be leaking from the sky.
In the sky, the ghost tiles with black wings circled, and were frightened by this evil spirit. They only dared to land on the cliff dozens of miles away and look at the strange team from afar.
Li Yin rode a horse on a yellow horse and walked at the front of the team. He sat on Emperor Da Yong's dragon throne for more than twenty years, his eyes became as deep as a sea of abyss, but his black silkworm-like eyebrows still showed his heroic spirit of chasing demons in the past.
As the Emperor of Humanity, he could have sat firmly in the palace to control the country, but ignored the opposition of most of the court and the two religions and traveled westward. After two months, he had dozens of demon attacks from all over the world, broke through three sieges and went to the foot of Taodu Mountain.
Some people say that his move was to show his national prestige and wanted to go down in history. Just as Emperor Ming built Dui Yue to suppress the earthly eyes, it was said that he was very happy to be successful.
Li Yin did not argue about this. He had no time to deal with those who pretended to be confused. When he came here, he had to do something important, so important that he refused to hand it over to others, but took risks in person. He rode on the yellow, looked up at the big peach wood, and remembered the old friend he had recalled by the fish and dragon pond.
This place is already at the foot of Dushuo Mountain, and there is an abyss. The water in the abyss is deep. Suddenly, a horse neighing sounded in front of him. Jiang Dulu, the general of Fengchen Guard, pulled the reins and stopped waiting. Li Yin drove the Huang and walked up to check under the guards. He saw Jiang Dulu pointing to the ground in front, where there was a footprint.
It seemed to be a child's footprint, with five toes clearly printed on the dry black mud.
As he traveled westward, Jiang Dulu was extremely sensitive to any abnormal signs. Such footprints were not worthy of truth in Dayong. However, a child's footprint appeared at the foot of Taodu Mountain, which was full of demons, which was incredible.
A moment later, Xu Ruowang, the young supervisor of Sitian, who was proficient in numerology and also good at calculating, was called to the footprints. The young supervisor carefully looked at each footprint, covered each other with his palms, and closed his eyes to make a calculation. An intermittent picture emerged in his heart. Under the calm water surface in the abyss, waves surged, and a huge black dragon body appeared faintly.
The Young Prison only saw these and reported what he saw. After a moment, a soldier brought more than a dozen cattle and sheep. The cattle and sheep stopped in front of the abyss, but were pushed into the abyss and fell into the water with a wail.
With the uproar, a huge black shadow emerged from the water, sweeping cattle and sheep into the bottom of the water, with only a few black scales faintly exposed. The army passed by the edge of the abyss, perhaps because of the tolls of more than ten cattle and sheep, no movement occurred in the abyss.
...
Until the people from the Dayong Kingdom left, a hill-like head quietly floated under the water, with two horns on the forehead, and yellow pupils and black scales.
The black dragon looked at the figures that were moving westward, and the blood of cattle and sheep overflowed from the corners of its mouth, dyeing a lake red.
The black dragon remembered that less than ten years ago, someone passed by here.
It looked east, and the footprints were at the position, and a red figure appeared in its heart.
It was a gentle woman in red, holding a young man wrapped in animal skin, walked over here and left Taodu Mountain.
Even after almost ten years, the black dragon, who had reached the realm of enlightenment, remembered the red clothes, and still showed fear in his yellow eyes, and dived into the water again.
When the waves are quiet, only a scarlet red remains on the water.
...
According to folk rumors, twenty-three years ago, two people from the religion gathered on Taodu Mountain to watch the painting Saint Li Chengzhou ascend.
Twenty-three years later, Taodu Mountain, which had been unavailable for a long time, welcomed the troops of the Dayong Kingdom again.
Li Yin walked under the big peach wood, and the roots of the peach wood tomb stretched for thousands of miles, making it more majestic than the city wall.
On the trunk, there was a thrilling sword mark. Inside the sword mark, there seemed to be colorful colors mixed with lead, mercury, molten gold, cinnabar, and malachite.
During this period, black smoke occasionally emerged, like a demonic shadow.
Before these lights and shadows could escape the sword marks, a barrier was blocked. The barrier was covered with paint colors, like a membrane formed by a rainbow light. Below the barrier, a man raised his finger and made a silhouette.
This person is already shaped like a dead tree, and has no vitality.
According to rumors, the painting of the saint's blood turned into a rainbow and ascended to become an immortal. Few people know that the two religions gathered here, and Li Chengzhou was alone under the big peach wood, and the painting of the rainbow in the blood turned into a rainbow and sealed the sword mark.
Li Yin stood under the yellow, looking up at the figure.
He remembered again that when this old friend used a mountain and sea chart to capture millions of demons, he sat opposite him on the Deyue Tower.
