Chapter 502 Disappeared without a Trace
"Does Pushan have a profound level of Taoism, or powerful supernatural powers, or does he use special magic weapons?" The Prince of Qinghe said solemnly.

Xuan Yin Zhenren looked calm, "That bamboo basket is just an ordinary bamboo basket, it might even be made on the spot. The whisk is a magical treasure, but it's nothing special."

Ordinary people are shocked and horrified when they see such a grand scene and think it is extremely awe-inspiring.

People with insight can see through the essence.

Xuanyin even felt that Pushan's methods were not as valuable as Yu Fengxian's "gathering rain and turning it into qi" and "qi and turning it into rain" just now.

The Prince of Qinghe is stronger than ordinary people, but his knowledge is not as good as that of the ten thousand year old earthly immortal.

"What, the bamboo basket is just an ordinary basket, and it's woven on the spot? The whisk is also ordinary. Could it be that Master Pushan is a Lingshan Bodhisattva in disguise?" he said in shock.

Xuan Yin Zhenren said calmly: "As long as you live long enough, you will never lack Taoism."

"Taoism" is certainly more than just "energy" and more than just the depth of magical powers.

For non-celestial immortals, "Taoism" also includes the depth of research on magic; for celestial immortals, "Taoism" includes the depth of understanding of the Tao.

The further you go, the deeper your attainments become.

People of the same "profession" (the same Taoism) do not use magic weapons or supernatural powers, and there is no attribute restraint. Naturally, the one with the strongest Taoism is respected.

But whether it is magical power or the study of techniques (Tao), it can be accumulated over time.

But what immortals lack the least is time.

Therefore, his profound attainments are worthy of admiration from his peers, but there is no need to make a fuss about it.

At least Master Xuanyin was not shocked or appalled at all.

If it were him, he would be able to basically repeat Pushan's actions after just a few days of research.

The reason why it takes a few days of research is because his method of magic is different from Pushan's.

Pushan is suspected to be an expert in water magic.

His Taoism is stronger than Pushan's, but he has not learned the water magic that she is good at; and she may be far behind him in the Taoism that he is good at.

Not to mention that he is a ten-thousand-year-old earthly immortal, if Zeng Wendao prepares for a few years, he should be able to create the same grand scene.

He had high attainments and rich experience, so it only took him a few days to improve the water-based techniques he had learned. Zeng Wendao was also a terrestrial immortal, but he lacked attainments and needed to practice water-based techniques from scratch, so he would need several years or even more than ten years to prepare.

If Zeng Wendao fought face to face with Pushan, he would not necessarily lose. The chances of losing were greater.

"Taoism cannot defeat supernatural powers" is definitely not just a joke from Yu Fengxian.

It is common sense in the world of immortals and Buddhas that Taoism cannot defeat supernatural powers.

Not to mention a Taoist practice of ten thousand years, even an earthly immortal who has practiced for a million years may be defeated by a human immortal who has just started out but has mastered strange and bizarre magical powers.

For example, doesn’t the White Dragon King have been practicing Taoism for nearly a thousand years?

Xuanyin was not familiar with Pushan and did not know what magical powers she had. He knew himself and also roughly knew Zeng Wendao. Neither of them was good at water battles, so it would be very difficult to defeat the White Dragon King in the Black Dragon River.

As a result, Yu Fengxian beat the White Dragon King in just five moves, forcing him to kneel down and beg for mercy.

There is no other reason, it’s just the restraint of supernatural power.

In hand-to-hand combat, he is restrained by the Black Fish Dragon; in fighting against divine arts, he is restrained by the Dragon King's magical powers.

In the final analysis, the snake is restrained by the dragon.

The Black Fish Dragon is not a disguised dragon, but evolved from a black fish into a black dragon.

If Yu Fengxian was a black fish spirit, if she were given a few magical pills to replenish her magic power, she would most likely transform into a dragon right now.

"Master, the river is almost drained, should we go over and take a look?" Prince Qinghe asked anxiously.

The water level in the ten-mile river section separated by the Wall of Buddha's Light dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye.

People on both sides of the river were still exclaiming in surprise, the water level was already so low that the mud at the bottom of the river was visible.

"Only the northern section has been drained, there's still the southern section!"

Having said that, Master Xuanyin still rode his cloud to the top of the river, only seven or eight meters away from the normal water surface.

Prince Qinghe lowered his head and looked around.

There are two golden "walls of Buddha's light", and he can basically see the scene below clearly.

Only the river water was pumped away, and the silt was not even affected by the water flow during the pumping, and it remained the same as before.

"There's not even a fish in it?"

Not to mention the feather fairy, there wasn’t even a single big fish jumping around on the riverbed.

"Yu Fengxian fought with Zeng Wendao and White Dragon King successively. With such a loud noise, the fish must have been scared away long ago." Xuanyin Zhenren said calmly.

Even if there were some fathead fish that did not escape, they were carried into Pushan's bamboo basket by the river water.

Drawing water from a well with a bamboo basket is a waste of time, but drawing water from a river may yield a basket of fish.

But Pushan was not there to fish, and all the fish in the river flowed away through the gaps in the bamboo basket.

After a moment, the southern section of the riverbed was exposed under the starlight.

Like the northern section of the riverbed, it was empty, without any trace of the Feather Phoenix Fairy.

"Where did Yu Fengxian go?" Prince Qinghe asked in surprise, "Pushan swung his whisk three times in a row, almost instantly, and the river was immediately cut off. Even if Yu Fengxian is an excellent swimmer, it's impossible for her to escape ten miles of river in an instant, right?"

Master Xuanyin said nothing.

His eyes were covered with a layer of green light, and he looked around in the mud at the bottom of the riverbed.

Pushan, who was more than ten miles away, did the same thing, using some supernatural powers such as spiritual eyes or Buddhist teachings.

The two eyes shone with golden light, even casting two beams of light with a radius of one hundred meters on the riverbed.

Like two super flashlights.

"Damn it!"

Pushan cursed in frustration and fell rapidly.

"Master, Pushan seems to have discovered something." Prince Qinghe reminded.

Xuan Yin pondered and said, "I discovered it too."

He drove the auspicious clouds and took Li Jingyu to the southern section of the riverbed quickly.

Then Pushan put away the seven-level lotus platform and disappeared directly on the surface of the riverbed.

In the middle of the river about a mile away from the original dock of Yingxiang Prefecture, there is a hole with a diameter of less than one meter.

There was fresh soil and stones around the hole.

It must have been newly excavated.

It is not conspicuous on the huge riverbed, but the golden Buddha light flashing in the hole can instantly attract people's attention.

It is obvious that the disappeared Pushan had crawled into the hole.

When Master Xuanyin rode the auspicious clouds and landed at the mouth of the cave, clear "spring water" was already overflowing from the cave.

“Yu Fengxian is so young, yet so cunning and sly.

She chose the battlefield by the Black Dragon River, not only because she was good at water battles, but also because her retreat was near the dock. What a meticulous mind, what a powerful method. "Xuan Yin Zhenren said with emotion.

Prince Qinghe looked unhappy and said, "Master, are you sure that Yu Fengxian got into this underground spring?
The spring must have just been dug out. Before, the hole was very small and the water flow was not strong. "

Xuanyin Zhenren sighed: "The eye socket is just blocked by silt, and after entering the underground water vein, the road is not narrow.

Besides, Yu Fengxian is not a big man, she is slender and well-proportioned, and three feet wide is enough. "

Even Pushan, who has taken on a female body, can easily fit in. Isn't it more than enough to accommodate a Yu Fengxian?

The Prince of Qinghe's eyes flickered as he asked, "Can Yu Fengxian escape? Pushan seems to have a strong killing intent and doesn't want to let her go at all."

Just as Master Xuanyin was about to speak, a crack appeared on the wall of Buddha's light a few miles away with a "click".

"Boom!" A large amount of river water poured in.

The wall of Buddha's light had more and more cracks, and after a few breaths, it exploded and disappeared completely.

If left unchecked, a large amount of potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy as the river water fills the empty riverbed.

The kinetic energy of the river water is the huge waves.

Two huge waves, one from the south and one from the north, collided and the Yingxiang Mansion on the shore suffered disaster.

"Damn it!"

Taoist Xuanyin's expression changed slightly. As the auspicious clouds under his feet rose rapidly, he clasped his hands together and muttered something.

After a while, a ten-foot-high "crystal wave" came from the north.

The White Dragon King, who looked like a tall and thin young man, returned with a group of river monsters.

"Quickly calm the turmoil in the river!" shouted Master Xuanyin.

White Dragon King glared at him unhappily and said in a muffled voice: "I will obey the Master's order."

He didn't come here on his own, of course, he also planned to come here.

But before he could act, a powerful spell descended from the Shinto dimension and landed on the river god talisman in his soul, requiring him to rush to a certain place and obey someone's orders immediately.

It was Master Xuanyin who used the "God-Exorcising Spell".

Different from the dog meat Taoist priest's method of inviting gods, the "God-Exorcising Spell" is to force the gods to do things.

If Zeng Wendao had used the exorcism spell, the White Dragon King might have refused to come.

Or after coming over, they say something sarcastic and pretend to obey orders but actually disobey them.

If Master Xuanyin was a celestial being, not only would the White Dragon King not glare at him angrily, but he would also nod and bow, smile widely, and flatter and curry favor with him in various ways.

If the dog meat Taoist priest has cultivated to the realm of ten thousand years of earthly immortality, the White Dragon King will greet the dog meat Taoist priest familiarly. Although he will not be flattering, and his attitude may even be slightly arrogant, he will do his best to do things and even give advice, treating the dog meat Taoist priest's affairs as his own.

Xuanyin Zhenren was not a Taoist who practiced the art of "worshiping the truth and seeking the help of the saints" or "asking the immortals to help him."

He is not an expert at the "Exorcism Spell" and his methods are a bit rough.

Thanks to the White Dragon King and a group of river monsters who "calmed the waves", when the river water flowed back, no disaster was caused.

After the storm subsided, the White Dragon King and a group of river monsters sank to the bottom of the water, hiding in the distance and waiting for the outcome.

Taoist Xuanyin stepped on auspicious clouds and floated ten meters above the water.

Li Jingyu asked softly, "Master, do you think Pushan can catch up with Yu Fengxian?"

“It’s hard to say.” Xuan Yin pondered and said, “Yu Fengxian is very good at swimming and she escaped at the first opportunity, thus gaining the upper hand.

But Pushan seemed to be well prepared, and she is also quite good at swimming."

After a pause, he asked in confusion, "I am even more surprised. Why would Lingshan go to such great lengths just for a mere jade cicada?"

Li Jingyu also found it a little strange.

If he was the Buddha of Lingshan, the demon cicada should have been quiet for a while after its death.

After the impact of the "Yingxiang Mansion Incident" is eliminated and the heat of the incident of Yaochan's death has decreased, I will look for Yu Fengxian's bad luck and make plans in secret.

To Li Jingyu and ordinary people in Western Shu, Yaochan is of course a giant and the mastermind behind all this.

But on the Buddha's entire chessboard, the demon cicada is just a pawn crossing the river, and it will die if it dies.

"Perhaps, Pushan is familiar with water, is closest to Yingxiang Mansion, and has a hot temper. I don't care what Lingshan thinks. I just want to know where my immortal fate is!" Li Jingyu said a little irritably.

Xuan Yin said calmly: "It's no use to be anxious now. Let's wait for Pushan's news!

As long as she catches Yu Fengxian, she will definitely bring her back to see you.

Maybe you will even have to kill her yourself to minimize the consequences and karma."

"I'm not a fool. If killing Yu Fengxian is of no help in finding my destiny, why should I kill her?" said the Prince of Qinghe County.

Xuan Yin's eyes were satisfied, and he said, "Very good, you haven't lost your mind. The Ancient Dragon Palace is everything to you. Compared with the fate of the immortals, the grudges in the mortal world are not important!
Even if it's revenge for Lee Young-ki, you shouldn't get involved.

Li Rongji is not your son, let the King of Shu or the Western Shu court do it. "

Prince Qinghe nodded and said, "I understand."

Half an hour later.

Xuan Yin sighed and said, "Let's go. Pushan failed. At least in the short term, we won't be able to see the result."

Li Jingyu was stunned for a moment and said, "Pushan hasn't come back yet, how does the master know that she has failed?"

Xuan Yin said: “Pushan only wants Yu Fengxian to die.

If she catches Yu Fengxian, she will come back and let us kill her.

Or use your name to kill Yu Fengxian.

She achieved her goal and also shifted some of the cause and effect, getting the best of both worlds.

If she couldn't find Yu Fengxian, why would she go back the same way?
The Heilong River is interconnected in all directions, so how can we not find the outlet of the underground water veins?

You can get out of the well, why do you have to come back and be laughed at by the people on both sides of the strait?"

Li Jingyu murmured, "Perhaps Pushan is still fighting with Yu Fengxian in the water veins, or perhaps they are chasing each other."

Xuan Yin said in a deep voice: “There are two factors that make your destiny unstable, Yu Fengxian and Li Rongji.

Since I can’t find Yu Fengxian for the time being, I will go and ask Li Rongji immediately.

What did he do and why did he become an accomplice of the demon cicada?
At most, Yu Fengxian is related to the loss of your immortal fate, but she is not necessarily the one who took your immortal fate away.

Perhaps, your destiny is still within Yingxiang Prefecture."

Li Jingyu nodded heavily, "Let's go find Rongji and Pushan first."

He hesitated for a while and said, "Master, can you let the White Dragon King enter the underground water vein to look for the traces of Yu Fengxian or Pushan?"

"If you make this request to the White Dragon King, he will probably fight you to the death." Master Xuanyin said unhappily.

"No matter what, we can't just leave Yu Fengxian alone!" Li Jingyu shouted.

Xuanyin thought for a moment and said, "Let's go see Li Rongji first and find out the details of what happened last night. Then we can go find Zeng Wen to ask him. Alas, Yu Fengxian spared his life. I wonder if he still wants to avenge Guan Chenghuang."
