Chapter 405 Taoist Priest
An extremely strong golden light suddenly burst out from the pottery jar in front of him. Lu Xuan felt it was so dazzling that he quickly covered his eyes.
In the haze, through the gaps between her fingers, she vaguely saw a figure sitting on the pottery jar in front of her.
She separated her two fingers and took a closer look.
What a human being!
My heart suddenly jumped with shock, and then I gathered myself.
Oh no, it's a soul!
She was scared to death. People are scarier than ghosts.
Jiang Xing had long been confused by her series of actions. He waved his right hand in front of her, somewhat confused, with worry in his eyes.
Lu Xuan grabbed Jiang Xing's arm and said, "Stop making trouble. I saw someone. It doesn't matter if you can't see him. I have to see who this person is."
Hearing this, Jiang Xing finally breathed a sigh of relief, put down his arms, leaned slightly against the wall behind him, and just watched quietly without moving.
Feixing at the door was speechless.
Ever since the prince learned that the princess was pregnant, he was like a hen that had just laid an egg.
He had to be careful to protect his eggs no matter what he did, for fear that the princess would accidentally bump them or something would go wrong.
He saw everything from the palace to the temple, and even when they were walking, this man wanted to carry the princess in his arms several times.
Is it really so scary that this woman is pregnant?
As for being so startled and protective?
Lu Xuan didn't notice the expressions of the people around him.
The golden light in front of her depicted a soul. She looked at it quietly and felt that it looked somewhat familiar.
The soul was dressed in a Taoist robe, had a thin figure, and had his white hair tied into a bun fixed with a wooden hairpin. He looked very energetic.
But where had she seen this old man before?
Lu Xuan didn't remember, but the old man in front of her said to her: "Are you the sect leader?"
Her head exploded, and she remembered!
I have seen him in the dreams of the ancestors before. He is a disciple of the sect!
Nodding hurriedly, Lu Xuan said, "Yes, I am the sect leader."
After hearing this, the soul smiled and said, "I finally waited for you."
"Are you waiting for me?" Lu Xuan glanced at the golden light in the room, and a moment of suspicion flashed through his mind.
She had seen this cluster of golden light a long time ago, but since her rebirth, she had been busy escaping and never thought that this golden light was related to herself, so she never intended to care about it.
Even today, I came here because I wanted to ask about the Taoist Master Baopuzi.
The spirit opposite her was looking at her with kindness and respect. Suddenly, she regained consciousness and asked hurriedly, "Are you Taoist Baopuzi?"
The soul opposite was not surprised at all. He smiled and nodded in agreement.
There seemed to be a lightning strike on Lu Xuan's head, which frightened her even more.
"You, you are actually Baopuzi? How did you know I would appear? Are you waiting for me here because of the matter of the Purple Star Emperor?"
Lu Xuan spoke a lot in one breath, and with excitement in his heart, he took several deep breaths.
Bao Puzi said, "Master, what you saw was a wisp of my soul that I sealed away for you. In reality, I have long since passed away. I wait here because I know that the world is in such a predicament that only you can resolve it."
"Sure enough, Baopuzi, you have noticed the abnormality a long time ago, and you have known that there is something wrong with the Emperor Star! How did you die? Did Jiang Yuanfeng kill you?!" Seeing that the other party had known she would come, Lu Xuan was so excited that she opened her mouth with a series of questions.
But she didn't expect that Baopuzi actually sealed his soul and waited for her here for fifteen years!
If she had come here secretly with Song Chuchu before, she would have found a way to solve the golden light here and would not have to wait until now to find an answer.
While she was angry and excited, she knew in her heart that different times and circumstances would lead to different decisions.
At that time, she didn't know everything behind it. Even if she had unlocked the golden soul, she still didn't know who Jiang Yuanfeng was.
Seeing her excitement, Baopuzi couldn't help but sigh, "Indeed, a traitor in our sect is causing chaos among the people. He has used a fake emperor to impersonate the real prince, and the two of them have conspired to ascend to the throne. The country has changed hands, and the evil star is causing trouble. He conspired with Xu Bai, a disciple in the temple, to secretly kill me! His goal is to prevent me from revealing the truth!"
Baopuzi also became excited, his expression quite worried. "In order to stop the rumors and prevent people from noticing the abnormality of the Emperor Star, they not only harmed me, but also another disciple of our sect, the Director of the Imperial Observatory, Xu Wenshan! Junior Brother Xu noticed the abnormality in the celestial phenomena and secretly discussed it with me. We knew that this Jiang Shaozhao was the traitor that the Sect Master had previously sent us to hunt down, so we wrote several letters to the Sect. However, we did not expect that the letters would be intercepted in various cities. Now that we can see the Sect Master, I think he must have finally discovered the truth, so he came here based on the letters..."
Two big tears suddenly fell from Lu Xuan's eyes. She clenched her fists and her pupils turned red with hatred.
"No... not..."
She lowered her eyes and calmed herself down, then shook her head. Her heart was like a tattered old quilt, with a big hole torn in it by the cold wind.
"So the person you've been waiting for is my mother. My mother is dead. I'm not Yun Xun, I'm Lu Xuan..."
Hearing her words, Baopuzi's previously calm and compassionate body trembled, and the muscles on his face twitched with some surprise.
"You, you are not the Sect Master?" Panic flashed in his eyes, and he said quickly: "But, but this golden image I left behind can only be seen by the Sect Master, and can only be unlocked..."
Lu Xuan's mind suddenly became clear, and he understood why Jiang Xing couldn't see the golden light here before.
Also, Xu Shu had said before that the imperial court no longer had the position of Director of the Imperial Observatory since Xu Wenshan, and she seemed to understand the reason.
Shaking her head and sniffing, she said, "Don't worry, I'm Yun Xun's daughter and the new sect leader. I guess you were afraid of being discovered by Jiang Yuanfeng, so you used the last of your profound energy to create this golden statue, right?"
After hearing this, Baopuzi finally relaxed his previously held breath, his expression flashing with admiration and relief. "Yes, since you are the new sect leader, it is the same. With such a wise sect leader, the Shenji Sect will surely grow stronger."
Lu Xuan looked at him and said, "Jiang Yuanfeng teamed up with the Emperor to commit evil deeds, and you and Xu Wenshan were killed because of it. Don't worry, now that I am the Sect Master, I will not ignore it! Traitors in the Sect should be dealt with by the Sect Master. I will complete what my mother has not finished!"
Baopuzi stroked his beard, smiled, and nodded, but his eyes still etched with worry. "But this Jiang Shaozhao not only killed everyone who understood the mystical arts of celestial phenomena, he also used his uncanny magic to murder the late emperor. I observed the celestial phenomena at night, and the late emperor died of illness before his death. It was the work of the evil star! He also teamed up with Xu Bai to take away my free soul-chasing box. I wonder what evil debts he will commit with that magic weapon..."
Lu Xuan stopped crying, her eyes gleaming fiercely. "Don't worry, Xu Bai fell into my trap a long time ago. Jiang Yuanfeng killed him himself. He stole the life-exchanging technique from the Shenji Sect and used it as a gimmick to earn money at the Xuanyuan Temple. He also harmed our Sect Master, so I showed no mercy."
Baopuzi was shocked. "What?! That evil creature actually acted so recklessly?!"
Then he pondered again, "However, my disciples didn't teach him the life-changing technique. Xu Bai was only a second-class disciple in the temple before. How did he learn the life-changing technique?"
Lu Xuan snorted coldly, "He must have learned it from Jiang Yuanfeng."
"Jiang Yuanfeng?"
At that moment, Baopuzi suddenly raised his head, his expression seemed to be excited, and he looked at her anxiously: "Master, there is one more thing about the life-changing technique, and now is the perfect time to tell you!"
