"The pagoda can enlighten people, heal them, and suppress the powerful, but it cannot be used to kill."
Li Chang'an shook his head. "Don't worry, I won't use the pagoda to kill people."
"However, there is a child in the household who has not yet developed his intelligence, which is a great worry to us."
The old monk Taling smiled slightly, not caring at all, "It's just to enlighten a child, leave it to this humble monk."
Li Chang'an nodded. It was time to use the Bell Sound Emperor to test the abilities of the Western Regions' magical treasures.
The nine-tailed celestial fox chuckled, "Old monk, do you recognize my lord?"
“You seem familiar… This humble monk knows you are a demon.” The old monk Taling did not recognize him.
Li Chang'an said, "Master, we need to communicate with Shen Shu."
The old monk Taling pondered for a moment and then said, "Alright!"
The nine-tailed celestial fox shook the copper ring on its hand, producing a clear and melodious sound.
Shen Shu's left arm, the index finger twitched.
"Ding Ding Ding!"
The ringing grew louder, and the fingers on his left arm moved faster.
In an instant, a strong sense of malice surged up and enveloped the entire third floor.
This tangible malice felt like being surrounded by wolves, stared at by their gleaming green eyes, leaving one with absolutely no sense of security.
His left arm suddenly went berserk, using his fingers as feet to charge left and right, causing the chains to snap straight.
"Let me out! Let me out! Buddha, you treacherous and despicable man!!"
The roar echoed within the third level of space, causing the entire pagoda to tremble slightly.
Li Chang'an frowned, feeling a throbbing sensation in his temples, and immediately used his Yuan Shen technique to suppress it.
"Shen Shu, be quiet," Li Chang'an commanded.
A malicious voice came from inside the arm: "Who are you, knowing my name?"
"Look who this is!" Li Chang'an pointed to the alluring fox spirit beside him.
Left Hand paused for a moment, "Something looks familiar, but I can't remember. It should be one of our own."
Sure enough, although the fragmented memories didn't recall the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, the blood relation still calmed the arm down considerably.
"Senior, do you know how long you've been trapped in the tower?" the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox asked softly.
Since the other party didn't recognize her, she naturally couldn't presume to acknowledge them.
Upon hearing this question, Shen Shu toned down some of his malice and subconsciously pressed, "How long?"
The tower is unknowable of its age.
Li Chang'an casually replied, "Five thousand years."
Shen Shu paused for a moment, then chuckled softly, "You're lying to me."
His tone was firm.
A malevolent voice, seemingly capable of piercing the soul, rang out: "I naturally have ways of discerning, and I also know that I will not live more than eight hundred years."
Li Chang'an said, "Indeed, you were sealed inside the Floating Pagoda for five hundred years."
"Five hundred years..."
Shen Shu's tone became ethereal, as if he were somewhat dazed.
“Shenshu, you should be able to tell that we are trustworthy people.”
The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox said directly, "We will help you break the seal."
Where are your other bodies?
The severed-armed Shen Shu chuckled in a low voice, "As long as you find my head, I can break the seal myself."
"Where is your head?" the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox asked.
“In Aranda, oh, the Buddha will not be at ease unless he personally crushes my head.”
Regarding this, you can inquire about it. If the Buddha has been asleep for five hundred years, then my head must be in Aranya.
Li Chang'an felt there was nothing more to say.
The purpose of Shenshu for him was to provide him with an extra ally in the future battle against the Buddhist Kingdom.
If by that time one is strong enough to stand against Buddhist bodhisattvas, or even surpass them, divine intervention will be of little use.
“Master, I have finished asking my questions,” Li Chang’an said, turning his head.
The tower spirit opened its eyes, nodded, and flicked a golden light with its finger.
Shen Shu's left arm struggled, yet it was unable to resist falling into a deep sleep.
Li Chang'an looked at the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, whose watery eyes looked at him pitifully.
"Master...save him."
Li Chang'an smiled and said, "Let me gather the dragon energy first, and if it's convenient, I'll save him."
The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox knew that the Great Feng and the Buddhist Kingdom were on the verge of war, and that Li Chang'an would likely save Shen Shu.
"Master is incredibly powerful, so collecting dragon energy is naturally a piece of cake for him."
After speaking, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox vanished.
Li Chang'an's spirit returned to its rightful place, and he went back to Chu Caiwei and Li Miaozhen's side.
"Sister Miaozhen, Xiaobai wants you to hold him." Chu Caiwei was discussing with Li Miaozhen.
Li Miaozhen glanced at Bai Ji, whose eyes were bright and clear, and said, "I'm not very interested in demons."
Bai Ji stared at Li Miaozhen's chest, "The Taoist priest has a righteous spirit, I like him very much."
Li Miaozhen didn't respond, so Chu Caiwei had no choice but to hold Bai Ji in her arms.
"Little White, how about I just eat you? That way I won't have to find someone to hold you."
Bai Ji looked miserable. Wasn't it said that human girls all liked small animals?
Why did I encounter these two? They were both outliers.
One spends all his time slaying demons and monsters, while the other spends all his time devouring the world.
At this moment, Xu Qi'an, Chu Yuanzhen, and Li Lingsu arrived from afar, flying through the air.
"Master!"
"Master Li!"
"Li, Li, Heavenly King!"
Just as Li Lingsu was about to call out "Brother Li," she sensed Xu Qi'an's malice.
Li Chang'an smiled and said, "Ning Yan, Yuan Zhen, you did a great job."
Xu Qi'an chuckled, "Master is a brilliant strategist, Mistress Miaozhen is a superb actress, and Mistress Caiwei provided timely support."
Li Miaozhen and Chu Caiwei both nodded, indicating that Xu Qi'an's words made a lot of sense.
"How did you deal with those江湖 figures?" Li Miaozhen asked.
Xu Qi'an said, "We have revealed our identities and paid them a large sum of money as compensation, so we will not tarnish Master's wife's reputation."
Li Miaozhen nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad."
Then, she turned her gaze to Li Lingsu, "Holy Son, what brings you here?"
Li Lingsu said, "I haven't seen Li Tianwang for a long time and I miss him very much, so I came here to catch up."
Li Chang'an smiled and said, "I predicted that you would fall into another love affair, and it seems I was right."
"Your two lovers are inside the Pagoda. Would you like to go in and meet them?"
Li Lingsu waved his hand, "I am extremely grateful that the Heavenly King spared their lives."
He transmitted his voice to Li Chang'an, "I've been driven mad by the Dongfang sisters again, and my back hurts terribly now."
"The Tower Spirit recently used the Medicine Master's Dharma Avatar's power. How did it feel?" Li Chang'an didn't mind taking care of this mischievous friend he had met shortly after transmigrating.
"It doesn't hurt as much anymore, but my abilities don't seem as strong as before."
"The Medicine Buddha's image can only heal, not restore."
"Brother Chang'an, save me!"
"You should also practice martial arts. Martial artists have very strong physiques. At the third grade, severed limbs can regenerate. You can cut off your kidney and grow a good one."
"I'm afraid I won't live long enough."
"Once you step into the Daoist realm and transcend the ordinary, your lifespan will be sufficient."
“Oh… it’s so difficult.”
"Let's see how things go; maybe we'll find a solution."
Li Chang'an said, "The next wisp of the main dragon energy will be in Zhangzhou City, Xiangzhou."
