(In the previous chapters, I confused the "Ming" Handscroll with the "Ri" Handscroll. I will correct it when I get home. Sorry, thank you for reminding me.)

Who were those people? Who didn't believe in the legend of the Son of Yama? Who could change the Divine Hall's attitude? Who could make the Tang Empire wait quietly? Who could make the Great Divine Priest of Light fall into the dust with one word?
Li Qingshan's body suddenly stiffened as the image of an old temple on a quiet mountain appeared in his mind. Many years ago, when the West-Hill Divine Palace gave him the title of Great Divine Priest, he once went to the old temple. This was the only time in his life, but it was unforgettable. Thinking of this, he seemed to see the thin figure on the edge of the cliff again, and his whole body was slightly cold.
The Great Divine Priest of Light said, "I don't know what the abbey dean was thinking at that time. I respect him from the bottom of my heart, but I will still stick to my own ideas."
Li Qingshan looked at his old cheeks in silence. Only then did he know that it was the Taoist in indigo who personally imprisoned him as the Great Divine Priest of Light. Then he thought of the Great Divine Priest of Light who could stick to his own ideas in front of the Taoist in indigo. He could not help but feel great admiration.
"Because I stick to it, I will not give up."
The light in the Great Divine Priest of Light's eyes was calm and deep. He said slowly, "During these years of being imprisoned in the back of Peach Mountain, I have never stopped looking at the world with this pair of eyes. One year, I even tried it once."
Li Qingshan frowned and said, "The Yan territory murder case?"
The Great Divine Priest of Light did not answer directly, but said indifferently, "Unfortunately, I still failed to kill that person. I clearly saw that the shadow of the night was still floating in the world, sometimes thick and sometimes faint, sometimes disappearing and sometimes appearing. But during these two years, the shadow became more and more solid, which means that person is becoming more and more powerful."
Li Qingshan asked with a serious expression, "Who is the person you saw with your eyes? Is he in Chang 'an? "
The Great Divine Priest of Light gave a very obscure answer, "The eyes can only see his existence, but not his existence. One day, I saw him appear in Chang 'an, so I was very anxious, so I wanted to come to Chang' an."
Although he said that he was worried, the expression on the old man's face was still calm, without a hint of anxiety.
Li Qingshan was silent for a long time, as if he was thinking about what the Headmaster had said. Finally, he shook his head slowly but firmly and said, "The legend is just a legend. No one has ever discovered the Underworld. The Headmaster has been traveling around the world for many years. I heard that the Abbey Dean is also traveling in the south. They must also be looking for the Underworld. After so many years, even the two of them have not found the Underworld, so it can't be real. If there is no Netherworld, there will be no Netherworld King. If there is no Netherworld King, there will be no Son of Netherworld King. "
The Great Divine Priest of Light said, "Of course there is the Underworld, so there is naturally Yama."
Li Qingshan stared into his eyes through the winter wind in the alley and asked, "Where's the underworld?"
The Great Divine Priest of Light said calmly, "I don't know."
Li Qingshan asked, "Then how can you conclude that there is an Underworld?"
The Great Divine Priest of Light replied, "Because there is, so there is."
Li Qingshan suddenly felt like he had returned to the Fragrance Workshop many years ago, when he met the Crown Prince who was more shameless than himself. Other than beating him up, there was no way for him to have a normal conversation.
The Great Divine Priest of Light looked at his expression and smiled. He said, "The 'Ming' Handscroll has records about the Underworld Invasion and the existence of the Acuteness Yama. But a thousand years ago, the 'Ming' Handscroll was taken to the Wilderness by that ancestor and was lost. No one has ever seen it, so it was gradually forgotten and even became a legend."
Li Qingshan frowned and said, "But you haven't seen the 'Ming' Handscroll either."
"It's true that I didn't have the opportunity to see the original 'Ming' Handscroll. But don't forget, that ancestor and I are both Great Divine Priests of Light. Some records will always be passed down in an indescribable way."
Li Qingshan looked at him and shook his head. He sighed and said, "Great Divine Priest, have you ever thought that just because of your own illusion and a legend, you gave up everything and became the enemy of the whole world?"
The Great Divine Priest of Light shook his head and said, "With a bright Taoist Heart, what you see is what you believe. Then you naturally have to believe what you see. As long as you believe, then the illusion is often true."
After a moment of silence, Li Qingshan took a step forward. A very light airflow splashed up where his straw sandals landed. It was like a stone falling into a still lake, making circles of ripples.
"Only Haotian can see everything in the world and see all the truth with one glance. Although you sit on the Great Divine Priest's throne and are under the sky, you are a human, not a god, not even Heaven. "
The Great Divine Priest of Light's gaze fell on Li Qingshan's right foot. There was no emotional fluctuation in his voice. He said indifferently, "Because I am not a god or Haotian, so you don't believe me?"
"Yes."
Li Qingshan's right hand that was exposed from his sleeve was extremely delicate. It held nothing and trembled slightly, as if he was clutching a struggling dragon. Meanwhile, the sword in the sheath on his back thrummed like the dragon was about to emerge from its body.
"Even if you are a god, there is still a God-stunning Array in Chang 'an."
The Great Divine Priest of Light shook his head and said, "The God-stunning Array will not be interested in an old man like me."
Li Qingshan took another step forward. The long sword in the sheath roared louder and louder, and the grip of the dragon in his right hand became firmer.
He looked at the old face of the Great Divine Priest of Light and said in a low voice, "I know you will come here to see, so I let the South Gate set up a Tianluo Array around. I want to see if I can keep you here."
"No." The Great Divine Priest of Light said, "Even the Confinement of Judgment can't trap me, let alone the Tianluo Array."
Li Qingshan said, "The Tianluo Array is a Divine Array given by Haotian. Is it not comparable to the Confinement of the Great Divine Priest of Judgment?"
The Great Divine Priest of Light replied, "The Confinement traps the heart, while the Tianluo traps the body. It is naturally more difficult for the heart to escape than the body."
Li Qingshan was silent for a while and agreed with this judgment. He said, "The God-stunning Array will not be activated because of you. But if you want to escape, you must display all the aura of your state. At that time, the array will have a way to subdue you."
The Great Divine Priest of Light said calmly, "I am just an ordinary old man in Chang 'an."
Li Qingshan said, "Because I am here, you can't always pretend to be an ordinary old man."
The Great Divine Priest of Light looked at the Master of Tang who was slowly approaching him and smiled. He said, "Qingshan, you are a person with a great Lucky Chance. When you were young, you met the Emperor of Tang and were respected in the secular world. Then you were chosen by the elder Taoists in the temple. You easily entered the Knowing Destiny State and were favored by the Emperor. However, because of your good Lucky Chance, you have never experienced the great fear of life and death in your life. So how can you threaten me?"
Li Qingshan was so despised, but there was no anger on his face. He said with a smile, "As I said before, if I am not your opponent, it is also a matter of course. So I never expect to keep you here by myself."
The Great Divine Priest of Light's deep eye sockets became darker and darker, gradually turning into a pair of pure black gems. He looked at the slightest change of the Qi of Heaven and Earth in the street and sensed the more intense breathing around him. He said indifferently,
"I've said it before. Your luck is too good, your power is too great, but your experience is too little. When you first became the Imperial Preceptor, Liu Bai was determined to challenge you, but he was stopped by Yan Se. You've never fought against a supreme expert in your life, so you can't understand. For people like you and me, the number of enemies doesn't mean much, unless the number is so large that it can make the ground of the mortal world sink."
As soon as he finished speaking, the withered leaves above the street fluttered again, and dozens of crossbowmen appeared in the streets and alleys. The sharp crossbows in their hands reflected the biting coldness, and the tightened crossbows clearly emitted the hidden powerful force. The cultivation powerhouses of the Imperial Center Administration in brown official robes also gradually came over. In some rooms in the further market place, the Array Tactical Master of the Tang Empire responsible for launching the Encircling Formation was constantly pouring Psyche Power into the Formation Eye.
The hoofbeats sounded like thunder. The heavy-armored black cavalry of the Tang Empire began to gather here at high speed. The huge weight made the ground of the long street tremble violently, as if it would sink at any time.
Li Qingshan withdrew his eyes from the mottled wall of the General's Mansion and looked at the Divine Priest of Light expressionlessly. He said, "Although you are the Divine Priest, your body is still that of a mortal. You are so fragile. Today, I will let you die in front of the General's Mansion. It is also to find some overdue light for the innocent people who died in the General's Mansion."
The Great Divine Priest of Light said, "I am the light."
Li Qingshan said sarcastically, "I didn't expect that after being imprisoned for 14 years, you have become so conceited."
The Great Divine Priest of Light replied calmly, "What you said makes sense. Conceit is against the law of the Church. My expression is more accurate. I should say, since the Headmaster of Academy is not in Chang 'an, then I am the light."
Li Qingshan was silent.
Stepping into the street with the momentum of a dragon and a tiger, he, the Master of Tang Nation, exchanged words with the Great Divine Priest of Light. The content was shocking, but the tone was calm, as if they were having a tea contest. All the killing and stubbornness were hidden in the picking of the spoon. What they tested was the Taoist Heart, and what they competed was still the Taoist Heart. After this conversation, it seemed that there was no winner or loser, but it could also be said that the Great Divine Priest of Light had won, so there was no need to talk anymore.
The strong sound of the spring sounded, and the sharp crossbow arrows shot out like a dense rainstorm. The sound of the arrows tearing the air was so sharp that it hurt people's ears. They surrounded the body of the Great Divine Priest of Light from all directions, leaving no gap.
Almost at the same time, the Array Tactical Master of Tang hidden in the distant market place started the Encircling Array. On the street outside the General's Mansion, the Qi of Heaven and Earth changed dramatically. Countless Qi turbulence turned into a Primordial Qi lock, forcibly locking all the space around the Great Divine Priest of Light.
With a clear dragon's roar, the sword on Li Qingshan's back thrummed and vibrated. The sheath flew out like a bolt of lightning, turning into an azure dragon in the air and crossing half the street in a single moment. The dragon's roar rang out as it slammed into the divine body of light's old face.
This was a long-planned attack by the Tang Empire. Because the target was the horrible Great Divine Priest of Light, they were well prepared. In addition to these powerful attacks in the street, there were many follow-up arrangements.
And the opponent's response was very simple.
Facing the rain of arrows, the Encircling Formation that locked the world, and the flying sword that had transformed into an azure dragon, the old man's deep and serene eyes emitted a straight ray of light, then a second ray, a third ray, a thousand rays, ten thousand rays, countless rays.
The Great Divine Priest of Light shone brightly.
