Chapter 99
Soon!
The picture froze on the coffin.
The coffin was originally covered.
However, as the picture in the Chaos Treasure Mirror moved.
The coffin slowly opened a gap.
A flash of red appeared slowly from within the coffin!
Soon.
The scene inside the coffin was all presented in the Chaos Treasure Mirror!
Inside the coffin lay a woman!
That was an extremely beautiful young woman dressed in a bright red shirt!
The woman’s face was exquisite to the extreme; adding one point would be too much, and subtracting one point would be too little!
She was just sleeping quietly in the coffin!
As if ten thousand years had passed!
Li Li Changsheng was stunned!
He had experienced many things in the red dust!
His mind had long been extremely firm!
However, when he saw this scene, he could not help but be extremely shaken.
Because the woman lying in this coffin was none other than the red-clad Luo Shui he had been waiting for for five hundred years!
"Luo Shui..."
"It’s Luo Shui!"
"What is going on!"
"Back then, Luo Shui, Luo He, and I crossed the Heavenly Gate, and then I came to this world!"
"Luo Shui and Luo He were gone!"
"Only I remained!"
"For these five hundred years, I have traveled all over the Nine Provinces and the four seas and eight wildernesses!"
"I thought this was the Immortal World!"
"But in fact, it is not the Immortal World at all!"
"If one were to say this is the Immortal World, that would be a matter of tens of thousands of years ago."
"This world has indeed had traces of immortals and Buddhas!"
"However, why would Luo Shui appear in that coffin."
"Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin! What is the meaning of it!"
For five hundred years.
Li Li Changsheng’s heart was a little chaotic for the first time!
At this time.
In the Chaos Treasure Mirror.
The coffin closed.
Nine dragons appeared lifelike, pulling the coffin and disappearing into the endless darkness.
The light on the Chaos Treasure Mirror disappeared and returned to the size of a palm.
It fell into Li Li Changsheng’s hand.
At this time.
Li Li Changsheng’s heart was burning!
For five hundred years, his heart had never beaten so hard!
"Luo Shui, you must still be alive!"
"Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, where are you going!"
"Is it in this world!"
"Luo Shui, don't worry, even if I have to go to the Yellow Springs, I will find you!"
"Five hundred years of waiting, just to see you again!"
Seven days later.
Outside Qizhou City.
Jixia Academy.
It was crowded with many, many people.
These people were all those who wanted to seek an audience with Li Zhangsheng.
They all wanted to take Li Zhangsheng as their master.
However, the Jixia Academy had been closed tight since seven days ago!
It had not opened its doors.
At this time.
He saw the academy’s gate finally open slowly.
Inside, someone walked out.
The crowd, seeing this, immediately stood up, rushed forward one after another, and shouted: “We want to see Mr. Li!”
“Please, Mr. Li, appear and see us!”
“That’s right, if we don’t see Mr. Li, we won’t leave!”
“Right!”
“We won’t leave!”
For a time.
The crowd was indignant.
He saw that the person who walked out of the academy was an elegant and mature middle-aged Confucian scholar.
He heard the scholar raise his hand and say loudly: “Everyone, I am Mr. Li’s eldest disciple, Zhao Zhao Wuxiu. My master has already left the Jixia Academy yesterday, so please return, everyone.”
“Do not make any more pointless waiting.”
For a time.
The crowd waiting outside was all stunned!
“What!”
“Mr. Li has already left the Jixia Academy?”
“Impossible, I haven’t left the academy gate for five days and five nights!”
“If someone had come out, how could I not know?”
“Liar, he must be lying!”
At this time.
Someone also said: “What kind of person is Mr. Li? That is a supreme figure who can ascend to the heavens and enter the earth, and open the Heavenly Gate with a sword!”
“If Mr. Li wanted to avoid our eyes, wouldn’t that be as easy as turning over his hand!”
For a time.
Everyone was dejected, as if they had lost their parents.
“To not see Mr. Li in this life, my heart is not at peace!”
Someone wailed, beating their chest and stamping their feet.
Others cried bitterly.
Regretting deeply that they could not see the Ancient Saint.
Not to mention the madness of the crowd outside the Jixia Academy.
At this time.
On the long official road outside Qizhou City.
A carriage was heading toward the east.
Sitting on the carriage were two people.
One of them was none other than Li Zhangsheng!
And the person driving the carriage was a toothless old man.
The old man’s surname was Huang, and in his early years, he was a blacksmith.
Later, he was taken in by Li Zhangsheng to do some servant work by his side.
At this time, he heard Li Zhangsheng say: “Old Huang, go a bit faster. Let’s leave the Qizhou territory as soon as possible. Once we reach Mount Mount Kunlun, I’ll get you a few jars of century-old aged wine!”
Old Huang, hearing this, immediately felt a boost in spirit and laughed loudly: “Master, alright!”
“You sit tight!”
“Giddyup!”
The next moment.
He saw the carriage galloping rapidly, kicking up a cloud of dust on the road!
At this time.
The other person in the carriage couldn’t help but speak.
It was a seven or eight-year-old boy.
The boy was exquisitely featured and had his hair tied in two buns.
He looked like a book boy.
In fact, this little boy was a disciple Li Zhangsheng had taken in three years ago.
He was called Li Li Tiangang.
The name was given by Li Zhangsheng.
This kid was born extraordinary, having stayed in his mother’s womb for three years before being born.
Perhaps it was because his mother had exhausted too much vital energy when giving birth to him.
So, when he was three years old, she passed away from illness.
This kid was originally born in a small mountain village.
Because he was born after his mother had been pregnant for three years.
So, the people in the village all thought he was a freak.
Later, his mother died.
Then some people thought this kid was a jinx.
So, they drove him out of the village.
It could be considered that this kid’s life was not meant to end.
A three-year-old child, thrown into the wilderness, ended up being carried away by a mother wolf. The mother wolf didn’t eat him, but instead raised him for several hundred days.
It just so happened that Li Zhangsheng was out and saw this kid in the mountains.
That was how he brought him back to the Jixia Academy and kept him by his side.
In a flash, three years had already passed.
At this time, he heard Li Li Tiangang ask with a face full of confusion.
“Master, you have such great abilities and can fly with your sword, why do you want to take a carriage to Mount Mount Kunlun, which is ten thousand miles away?”
Li Zhangsheng smiled faintly and said: “Little Li Tiangang, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step!”
“Master is going this time to find your Mistress. Many things cannot be taught in words, only understood in the heart.”
“When you grow up a bit more and learn Master’s Dao, you will understand the importance of fate.”
Li Li Tiangang nodded, half-understanding.
Li Zhangsheng then closed his eyes to rest.
This time, he left the Qizhou Jixia and didn’t plan to return.
He had already stayed at the Qizhou Jixia for thirty years.
Plus, the Azure Cloud Ranking had exposed his identity.
Outside the Jixia Academy, there were hundreds of people surrounding it all day long.
So, it was time to leave.
His trip this time was to head to Mount Mount Kunlun first.
Because Mount Mount Kunlun is one of the most mysterious mountain ranges in the Nine Provinces, the four seas, and the eight wildernesses.
Back then, when he founded his orthodoxy on Mount Mount Kunlun, he had also seen that the terrain of Mount Mount Kunlun was extremely extraordinary.
In the Chaos Treasure Mirror, he saw the Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin, taking Luoshui in the coffin into the darkness.
However, before that, he seemed to have seen a mountain!
An incredibly huge mountain.
But Li Zhangsheng couldn’t be sure where that mountain was.
So, he planned to walk the Nine Provinces, the four seas, and the eight wildernesses once more.
To view the great mountains and rivers of the Nine Provinces!
This journey was destined to be long.
So, he brought Li Li Tiangang and Old Huang.
If it got boring on the road, there would be someone to talk to.
The carriage galloped on the road.
Gradually disappearing on the horizon.
……
In the blink of an eye.
Several more days passed.
Great Han Dynasty.
The number one giant city in the Western Frontier.
Dingyuan City!
A carriage slowly drove into the city.
It stopped outside a restaurant.
Li Zhangsheng and Li Li Tiangang jumped off the carriage.
Old Huang followed the waiter to the backyard of the restaurant to settle the carriage and horses.
Li Zhangsheng took Li Li Tiangang to the second floor of the restaurant.
The three of them were covered in dust.
They had traveled rapidly for eight days.
Finally entering the territory of the Great Han.
Arriving at this number one city in the Western Frontier of the Great Han, Dingyuan City.
This Dingyuan City was considered a giant city in the Western Frontier of the Great Han Dynasty.
When the Xiongnu went south, they had to pass through this Dingyuan City.
Therefore, this Dingyuan City was managed by the Great Han to be as solid as a golden soup.
Many people traveling north and south also gathered in this Dingyuan City.
The restaurant that Li Zhangsheng and the others entered was one of the top restaurants in Dingyuan City.
As soon as the master and disciple entered the restaurant.
They heard an old man with white hair telling a story on the stairs between the first and second floors.
Li Zhangsheng tilted his head and listened for a few sentences.
“Just say that the Nine Profound Saint Li Zhangsheng stayed at the Jixia Academy in Qizhou for decades!”
“He once debated with a group of scholars and defeated the Confucian sub-sage Xun Kuang!”
“With his profound learning and a Confucian sword, he became famous throughout Qizhou!”
“Every ten years, he takes in seven true disciples!”
“In the first ten years, the seven disciples he took in have now become very powerful figures in the Great Qin Jianghu!”
“I heard that he has a hobby: no matter who it is, upon entering his sect, as long as they become one of his seven true disciples.”
“They must change their names according to the order of entry.”
“The first to enter is One, and the last to enter is Seven!”
