Chapter 97: Turtle Snake Descends Hearing this, Chen Qingning was not surprised. He just smiled helplessly and asked, "Did you see that, fellow Daoist?" Jiang Lin glanced at her and said unhappily, "If you can't see it from such a close distance, am I blind?" After that, Jiang Lin said seriously: "The true fetus has manifested, I am afraid that the birth will come in more than a month. Although at this time, the true fetus's divine aura is restrained, even people like us who practice Taoism cannot detect it unless we get close." "But as you travel along the way, it is inevitable that you will leave some energy behind." "Following the path you have taken, the existence of the True Embryo will attract countless evil spirits to come without hesitation." In other words, this is simply a weakened version of Tang Monk's meat! When a real fetus is born, it also takes ten months of pregnancy. Unless the fetus is born with a destiny that defies heaven like Nezha, there will be no change. Now, the fetus in Liu Yuwei's body is more than eight months old. It is the stage where the fetus has basically been conceived and is just waiting to be born. This is also the most dangerous time for the real fetus. Shenhua is completely restrained, but because he has never truly descended into the world, he has no ability to control it.
A piece of sweet cake that has no power to resist. And such a pregnant woman, with such a real fetus, actually appeared so openly in this wilderness. In fact, there is only one practitioner who is barely able to become a master to support him! Even if there is a Zhenwu magic sword, without someone with sufficient cultivation to wield it, it is better than nothing. What on earth is Xuantian Taisu Palace thinking? Or is it that Xuantian Taisu Palace is unaware of this matter? But looking at the direction of this convoy, it is obviously heading towards Huangshan Mountain and Qiyun Mountain. If Chen Qingning discovered this real fetus herself and wanted to send it to Xuantian Taisu Palace for nurturing and delivery, then it would not explain why she held the Zhenwu magic sword. Even if Chen Qingning possessed this magical weapon for other reasons, he would not be stupid enough not to inform his own Taoist temple and choose one person to escort him. Therefore, Jiang Lin was almost certain that Xuantian Taisu Palace was aware of Liu Yuwei's existence. But even so, what are the true Taoist masters of Xuantian Taisu Palace thinking? Only let a high-ranking but low-ability disciple who has not yet completed his apprenticeship protect a true fetus? "I don't even know." Chen Qingning smiled bitterly and told the whole story. She had originally gone down the mountain to gain experience, waiting to temper her mind in the mortal world before returning to the sect to inherit the Xuantian Dharma. It is just like the Tianpeng method and the Heili method of the Northern Emperor method. Those who practice Tian Peng Fa may not necessarily be able to master the Black Law, but those who practice the Black Law will definitely be able to master Tian Peng Fa. The same is true of the relationship between Xuantian Method and Zhenwu Method. The Liu sisters were the daughters of the governor of Xuanzhou Prefecture. Jiang Lin was not surprised to hear this. If it wasn't a provincial governor, there wouldn't be such a knight escort. Going south from Xuanzhou is Shezhou, where Huangshan is located. When I got here, I happened to meet Jiang Lin who was also going to Huangshan. "At first, I didn't know the identities of the sisters, and we met after curfew."
"The sisters dressed up in disguise and wandered the streets, only to encounter an evil spirit." "I used the Zhenwu method to kill it, and only then did I know." Chen Qingning said in a serious tone, "It turns out that the eldest daughter of the Tai family in Xuanzhou Prefecture, Liu Yuwei, was married once when she was sixteen, but her husband died on the battlefield, and she has been a widow ever since." "But more than half a year ago, she got pregnant for no apparent reason. Liu Yuwei had been staying in seclusion in a secluded compound and had no chance to come into contact with men. This pregnancy was really strange." "According to her, she dreamed of a turtle and a snake descending from the sky one night, which is why she got pregnant." "The governor of Xuanzhou Prefecture believed in his daughter's innocence, but he couldn't tell anyone else. He could only ask Liu Yuwei to stay at home even more." "But after getting pregnant, her mood swings became more intense, and she really couldn't stand it anymore, so her sister came up with the idea of going out in disguise at night, at least to let her sister get some fresh air." "In fact, their father knew about it and sent people to watch them in secret, but when faced with evil spirits, how can mortals help?" "It was at this time that I met this poor Taoist." Chen Qingning looked at Jiang Lin who was thinking, and said in a deep voice: "I can naturally recognize the true fetal energy, and fellow Daoist Jiang should also know what I care more about." Jiang Lin nodded silently, and then whispered: "The turtle and the snake descended, and there is pregnancy, and the pregnancy is a real fetus..." Emperor Zhenwu has two deputy generals under his command, General Black Turtle and General Teng Snake... Jiang Lin couldn't help but be surprised when he thought of that possibility. If this is true... Moreover, encountering evil spirits when going out is nothing for a true fetus, but at the same time as encountering the evil spirits, there happened to be a disciple of the Zhenwu lineage who was practicing nearby. This is too much of a coincidence. "I also know that this matter is of great importance." Chen Qingning smiled bitterly and said, "So, I sent a message to the Taoist master in the sect, but he just sent her this Zhenwu sword through the air and ordered me to lead her to Mount Qiyun." "Of course I know that I am not capable of doing this alone, but since the Taoist master said so, I can only bite the bullet and embark on the journey." "Fortunately, the Xuanzhou prefect was sensible and sensible, and he really loved his daughter. Not only did he not stop her, but he also sent someone to escort her." "Although there have been some evil spirits along the way, they are not as difficult to deal with as tonight. I can survive with the help of the Zhenwu sword." "But tonight...if you weren't here, I'm afraid..." Chen Qingning smiled bitterly and bowed to Jiang Lin. However, when she raised her head, she saw the young Taoist in front of her with a thoughtful look on his face. "Fellow?" Chen Qingning blinked in confusion. "Don't you think this is too coincidental, fellow Taoist?" Jiang Lin looked up at Chen Qingning and said softly, "The Liu sisters encountered evil spirits while traveling at night, and you were by their side. During the escort, the evil spirits you encountered before were just the level that you could deal with with your Zhenwu sword. But tonight, you couldn't hold on, so I showed up."
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, what you mean is..." Chen Qingning's eyes widened in sudden realization. If he still didn't understand after hearing this, he would be unworthy of being the successor of Zhenwu. "No matter which immortal is the one who is carrying the baby in Mr. Liu's belly." Jiang Lin raised his head, rubbed his wrist, and said with a smile: "It seems that this time, I have to shamelessly take a ride." "What are you talking about, fellow Daoist?" Chen Qingning also smiled and said, "It is our honor." The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing. At this moment, both of them understood. Originally, the two of them just found each other to be trustworthy fellow Taoists after talking to each other, and now, the two of them have a common identity. The protector. What was being protected was naturally the real fetus in Liu Yuwei's belly. She became pregnant after dreaming about a turtle and a snake descending from her body. The first person she met was Chen Qingning, a disciple of the Zhenwu lineage. Now, Jiang Lin, the successor of Beidi's magic, has been added. Even if the real fetus in Liu Yuwei's belly is not the Great Emperor Zhenwu, it must have a deep connection with the North Pole. It was neither reasonable nor moral for Jiang Lin to turn around and leave now. While walking towards the Liu sisters with Chen Qingning, Jiang Lin secretly held the Fengdu Jiuquan Command on his arm. "Marshal Che, did you really teleport randomly?" Logically, Marshal Che would not respond to Jiang Lin, but Jiang Lin heard one word: "Yes." Well, it is basically certain that Marshal Che’s teleportation, in his own opinion, should be completely random. But in fact, it is estimated that some big guys have already calculated this encounter. Once is a coincidence, twice is a coincidence, but three or four times is not a coincidence. Jiang Lin did not feel like he was being plotted against or was even more angry. In his opinion, this was probably just the result of the big men of the Beidi lineage and the Taoist masters of the Zhenwu lineage going with the flow. Although it is not yet known why the Taoist priest of Xuantian Taisu Palace let Chen Qingning escort alone at the beginning. But now, most likely it is... Hmm? A little Beidi cub is in "exile"? Make a deal and ask him to do some "field work". And then we met. Jiang Lin accepted this matter anyway. After all, he was protecting a true fetus who had a deep connection with the Arctic system. Jiang Lin had no reason to escape or refuse. To put it simply, Beidi Zhenwu is from the same clan, so even if there is no such arrangement, since we have met, we should help each other. To put it in a broader sense, if that person really was the one who had reincarnated into the human world, then as a member of the Beiji Sect, I would have no reason not to protect him.
Jiang Lin thought so in his heart and followed Chen Qingning to the Liu sisters. "Junior Sister Liu, this is Taoist Priest Xuanying. Please accompany us on the rest of the journey." Chen Qingning said, and added: "Fellow Daoist Xuanying has some things to do in Qiyun Mountain." This was not a lie. No matter what Jiang Lin had planned to do before, he had to go to Qiyun Mountain now. After all, Jiang Lin was pulled aboard halfway, so no matter what, Xuantian Taisu Palace would definitely make some statement. No matter how close the relationship is, it is a Dharma relationship. If it comes to individuals, it is impossible for Jiang Linbai to do the work. "ah." Liu Yuwei nodded in surprise, bowed to Jiang Linfu, and said, "It is our honor that Taoist Priest can travel with us." "You are too kind, sir." Jiang Lin smiled and said, "I'm just taking a ride." Although Liu Yuwei and Chen Qingning call each other sisters, both Liu Yuwei's behavior and the way she addresses Jiang Lin prove that she is only a "Taoist" in words. Therefore, Jiang Lin was called a layman. Chen Qingning supported Liu Yuwei, while Jiang Lin and Liu Yunxiu stood on both sides. The beautiful girl in her twenties tilted her head without any hesitation, her big eyes full of the shadow of the young Taoist priest. Chen Qingning glanced at Jiang Lin jokingly, but Liu Yuwei was a little worried. Even she had to admit that this young Taoist priest named Xuanying was too handsome. Moreover, the scene of slaying the evil spirit with sword just now was truly shocking. When my sister is Mu Shaoai, it is not impossible for her to fall in love with him. But if this is really the case, my sister will probably be very disappointed in the end. She has been in contact with Chen Qingning for some time and also knows the gap between practitioners and mortals. I hope my sister is just in a momentary mood and has feelings for Mu Shaoai, and after we separate in the future, she will be able to put those thoughts aside. Liu Yuwei thought so in her heart. Back at the convoy, Liu Yuwei ordered someone to set up a tent for Jiang Lin. After arranging for Jiang Lin, Chen Qingning also escorted Liu Yuwei and her sister into the carriage. Silent all night. The next morning, Jiang Lin was awakened by a tempting fragrance. "Master Xuanying, would you like to try my cooking?" Liu Yunxiu stood in front of Jiang Lin, holding a tray in her hands. There was a hint of shyness on her pretty face, but she still mustered up the courage to look Jiang Lin in the eye. There were some dark marks on her face, obviously from the heavy injuries she suffered while cooking.
"Thank you, Mr. Liu." Jiang Lin glanced at Liu Yunxiu, then smiled inexplicably and took the plate without hesitation. On the plate was a bowl of broth and two bread buns filled with good bacon. Jiang Lin sat on the ground, picked up a pancake, took a bite, then raised his head and said with a smile: "The master's cooking skills are not bad." He emphasized the word craftsmanship. Liu Yunxiu was stunned at first, and then said in a somewhat disappointed tone: "Master, did you see that?" Jiang Lin laughed and said, “Being smokey and having charcoal ash on your face is totally different.” "hey-hey……" Liu Yunxiu scratched his face a little embarrassedly, and said openly: "I want to win the favor of the Taoist priest." In the morning sunshine, the girl stood there prettily. Although she was a little shy, she still said crisply, "Master, do you believe in love at first sight?" It can be seen that this girl was well raised by her family and she is not the kind of woman who is virtuous without talent. But it means that you really have a broad mind and dare to love and hate, or in other words, you have the courage to express your true feelings directly. In this era, it is a miracle of some magnitude. "I am not a good match." Jiang Lin also smiled in surprise and said, "I think the layman is well-read and should understand the difference between a momentary affection and a long-term relationship." Since Liu Yunxiu went straight to the point, Jiang Lin naturally wouldn't say anything else. The girl has already expressed her little girl's thoughts. What is there for Jiang Lin, a grown man, to be shy about? "An evil spirit came last night and took away my mind. I happened to show up and killed the evil spirit. To me, it seems like I took advantage of the opportunity. Now that a night has passed, I should understand." "I understand, but I don't think I should let it go once I figure it out." Liu Yunxiu tilted her head and said with a smile, "I asked Sister Qingning last night, and it seems that the sect that the Taoist priest joined does not prohibit marriage?" "That's true, but I have no intention of getting married." Jiang Lin smiled and picked up the broth and took a sip. Liu Yunxiu didn't say anything else, but waited for Jiang Lin to finish eating. Then, he said, "Master, do you have any way to see if I am qualified to practice cultivation?" Jiang Lin shook his head and said, "There is no such thing as aptitude in cultivation, it only depends on one's own intentions." “There are those who have no intention to practice, recite sutras for half their lives, but when they are on the verge of death, their minds become clear, and they instantly enter the Tao and are listed among the immortals.” “There are also those who seek for their whole lives, visit all the famous mountains, and have all kinds of obsessions, but in the end, they get nothing.” As he spoke, Jiang Lin looked at Liu Yunxiu and said with a smile: "If a layperson wants to practice, he must first ask himself why he practices."
Liu Yunxiu heard this and said with a smile: "How about I practice for the Taoist priest?" Jiang Lin burst into laughter and stood up. "After all, I have eaten your meal, so I will give you a fortune-telling to help you find your marriage. How about that?" (End of this chapter)
