Chapter 315 The Trail of Kuafu
Kuafu!
The giants of ancient legends once chased the sun.
Li Lan also knew that in the present world, he was one of the seven great demon gods. Like the Fighting Demon God, Xing Tian Demon God, and Jingwei, he had sacrificed his body to become the underworld in order to find the cause and effect of the past.
Most importantly, the Fan Jing (a Buddhist scripture) was also on them.
When Li Lan returned to Earth, besides his parents, the most important thing was the underworld of Kuafu.
“That’s right. If the records of my ancestral home are accurate, then my ancestors should be descendants of Kuafu.”
Elder Deng nodded and said with emotion, "Back then, our ancestor Deng Lin once predicted the future, foretelling that when the world underwent a great change, the son of the Li family would rise to prominence. Moreover, he also said that only if the Deng family and the Li family were to marry, and by borrowing the Li family's fortune, could the karmic consequences be altered, allowing Kuafu to reappear..."
"This ancestral precept has been passed down through generations, so the marriage agreement will never be void!"
Upon hearing this, Li Lan was surprised.
Elder Deng was unaware of ancient secrets such as the Kuafu Demon God, and he could not have fabricated such ancestral teachings.
Therefore, the key to finding Kuafu's underworld lies in his marriage agreement with Deng.
No wonder Elder Deng was so obsessed with the marriage agreement; it turns out there was such a reason behind it.
“I had two daughters. My younger daughter died young, leaving only Qingzhu. My eldest daughter, Kexin, unfortunately refused to follow the family precepts and even corrupted her daughter, Yusu…”
Elder Deng sighed, "It's a pity that Qingzhu's aptitude is too weak to cultivate; otherwise, her temperament would be quite good..."
Before the words were even finished, Yun Luojin's voice rang out, "So what if you have weak aptitude? So what if you can't cultivate? I don't like cultivators fighting and killing all the time!"
She pulled Xia Qingzhu over and said, "Elder Deng, I like Qingzhu. As long as you don't mind that my Li Lan is older, let them give each other a try?"
She was very straightforward. First, in her opinion, Li Lan was indeed getting old and it would be difficult for him to find a wife in the future. Second, over the years at the Fudao Group, they had watched Qingzhu grow up and genuinely liked her.
So I want to bring them together.
Elder Deng paused for a moment, then said, "That would be the best way, but Li Lan is, after all, a cultivator..."
He was acutely aware of the vast difference between mortals and cultivators; even if Li Lan was forty years old, Xia Qingzhu was still not good enough for him…
"What does it matter if someone is mortal, as long as they like it? Even the Seven Fairies could marry Dong Yong, and even immortals yearn for mortal life!"
Yun Luojin was very cheerful. She looked at Li Lan and said, "Lan'er, what do you think of Qingzhu? Do you like her?"
Li Lan couldn't help but smile wryly; her parents' tempers were still so direct...
Before Li Lan could answer, Xia Qingzhu, who was next to Yun Luojin, had already blushed. She frantically gestured, but felt that she was not expressing herself well enough. Suddenly, she stomped her foot, turned around, and ran away.
"This girl..."
Elder Deng couldn't help but shake his head.
"It's best to follow Miss Qingzhu's wishes regarding such a significant matter as marriage."
Li Lan spoke softly.
He always felt that feelings should be pure, and that getting married for other reasons might not be good for either of them.
Moreover, although this was the Deng family's ancestral instruction, Li Lan felt that there might be other ways to see the Kuafu Demon God.
After all, the underworld transformed from the Fighting Demon God and the Xingtian Demon God can be entered directly using incense and offerings. The reason why the Deng family ancestors left the marriage agreement may be because there is no longer a way to produce incense and offerings on Earth.
You can try these two things first. If they don't work, then you can look for other methods.
"Elder Deng, where is Deng Forest, which was said to have been transformed from Kuafu's staff, now, according to the records?"
Li Lan asked a question.
Elder Deng said, "Mount Tai!"
"Normally, Deng Lin is inconspicuous, but with the resurgence of spiritual energy, he is already showing signs of manifesting in the world..."
His expression was solemn.
Li Lan was also startled.
Mount Tai... this place is extremely important.
In fact, Mount Tai is not the best in China, whether in terms of scenery or mountain grandeur. There are many mountains that are more beautiful and magnificent than Mount Tai.
But its profound cultural heritage is unparalleled.
Throughout history, countless emperors, generals, literati and poets have climbed Mount Tai to contemplate the heavens and earth, to sing of the long river and to gaze at the clouds. There is even another Great Yu Ding (a type of ancient Chinese bronze vessel) stored there!
Even the underworld of the demon god Kuafu is on the other side of Mount Tai?
The hidden wonders within Mount Tai have not yet been fully revealed; once they do, they will likely astound the world.
Li Lan pondered silently for a long time, and for now, all she could do was wait.
"Qingzhu's muteness doesn't seem to be congenital, does it?"
Li Lan suddenly asked a question.
“Yes, she was frail from childhood and had suffered from a serious illness…” Elder Deng sighed.
Li Lan thought for a moment and said, "Li Lan has studied some medical books and may be able to help her."
As he spoke, he stood up.
……
In the garden, Xia Qingzhu sat on a wicker chair, resting her chin on her hand as she looked at the roses in the garden, lost in thought.
"You really like roses?"
Li Lan's voice sounded from behind. She turned around, her face slightly flushed for some reason, and then she gestured with her hands, saying that roses are very beautiful and Aunt Yun likes them too, so she planted a lot of them.
Li Lan was momentarily stunned. He had actually forgotten that it was indeed his mother who liked roses...
Do you dare to believe me?
He spoke up immediately.
A hint of doubt flashed across Xia Qingzhu's delicate face. Li Lan had already taken out a pill, handed it to her, and said, "Eat it."
Xia Qingzhu curiously accepted the pill. The pill was crystal clear and had a rich fragrance. She looked at Li Lan and gestured that it was too precious and must be a medicine that only cultivators could take. She didn't want it.
Li Lan laughed and said, "I got this pill from Mount Song. I had Elder Deng examine it, and he said it's for maintaining youth and beauty, but it's useless for men. You don't want it? Then I'll just throw it away..."
Xia Qingzhu's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she quickly shook her head, protecting the pill. She gestured that she wanted to leave it for Aunt Yun so that Aunt Yun wouldn't have wrinkles anymore, and that she couldn't throw it away.
Li Lan couldn't help but sigh. No wonder her mother treated Xia Qingzhu like her own daughter; Xia Qingzhu was indeed very good to Li Lan's parents.
“My mother has already taken one. Each person can only take one of these pills.”
Li Lan said.
Xia Qingzhu blinked, thought for a moment, then smiled sweetly, made a thank-you gesture, and swallowed the pill.
"This medicine needs guidance to be effective,"
Li Lan said, "Come, let me teach you. First, feel your dantian. Is there a slight warmth? Close your eyes and concentrate all your thoughts on your dantian..."
Based on her physical condition, Li Lan taught her the method of guiding Qi, including the subsequent cultivation system, explaining it to her patiently.
If high-level cultivators were to see this, they would be greatly shocked, because what Li Lan is doing at this moment is completely tailor-made for Xia Qingzhu, and it can even be said that he has created a method specifically for Xia Qingzhu.
This was not difficult for Li Lan.
……
Much later.
A message came through Li Lan's phone: headquarters was summoning all leaders and above to assemble.
"Xiao Li, let's go take a look. The negotiations have taken a turn for the better."
Elder Deng also came out, and when he saw Xia Qingzhu in the garden, he was taken aback.
Xia Qingzhu sat cross-legged in the garden, and wisps of ethereal mist could be clearly seen emanating from her beautiful hair.
Xia Qingzhu's current state... doesn't it seem a bit like the legendary "entering into meditation and attaining enlightenment"?
"this?"
He looked at Li Lan in surprise.
"When I was fleeing from the Songshan Mountains, I happened to obtain a fragment of a scroll, which I gave to my sister Qingzhu."
Li Lan smiled.
Elder Deng couldn't help but take a deep breath. A fragment of a scroll?
He knew Xia Qingzhu's aptitude perfectly well, and he had even taught her, but ordinary techniques were completely useless to her.
The incomplete scroll that Li Lan mentioned could actually put Xia Qingzhu into a state of cultivation? This is probably quite remarkable!
Li Lan actually generously gave away such a treasure...
"Has Qingzhu, who has been kind all her life, finally received her own good fortune?"
He was somewhat excited, and felt inexplicably gratified. His gaze towards Li Lan held even more gratitude and recognition!
"Let's go, Elder."
Li Lan smiled, and the two immediately headed towards headquarters.
