Chapter 756: Taiqing Temple

Li Yang took a deep breath, concentrated his mind, and carefully circulated the energy in his body.

He extended his consciousness to the surrounding plants, trying to find a way to help his father.

Suddenly, he noticed a bunch of weeds next to the carriage.

Although it looked dry and withered, Li Yang could still feel the vitality contained in it through the temporary connection.

He carefully guided the energy into the weeds, controlling them to grow like his own plants.

Although the principles are different... but the feeling of controlling plants is the same.

The weeds grew wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon turned into a thick vine.

Li Yang controlled the vines and quietly spread them to the demon tree.

Just when the demon tree was about to give his father a fatal blow, the vines suddenly entangled a branch of the demon tree and pulled it hard.

The sudden force made the demon tree lose its balance and staggered, giving Li Yang's father a chance to breathe.

Li Yang's father took the opportunity to break free from the restraints, quickly stepped back a few steps, and stood firm again.

He looked at the vine that came from nowhere in surprise, but soon refocused his attention on the enemy in front of him.

"Heh, a mere willow spirit dares to be so presumptuous in front of me!" Li Yang's father shouted angrily, and quickly formed seals with his hands.

"Heaven and Earth Mysterious Sect, the root of all energy... Qiankun borrows the law, hurry up as the law commands!"

As the spell was finished, a golden light shot out from his palm and hit the face of the demon tree.

The demon tree let out a shrill scream, and the hideous human face instantly turned into ashes.

The tree body that lost consciousness was shaky and finally fell to the ground with a bang.

Li Yang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this scene.

He quietly took back the control of the vine and turned it back into an ordinary weed.

The voice of [Origin] sounded in his mind: "Well done, Li Yang, you use this ability very cleverly."

Li Yang replied with some pride: "Of course, I am a genius."

"But... to be honest, are all the plants in this world so easy to turn into monsters?"

[Origin] pondered for a moment and said: "I am afraid it is not just plants... from what I have observed during this period, everything in this world seems to be in an unstable state."

"The power of chaos is distorting the rules of this world, leading to the emergence of these abnormal phenomena, even me..."

[Origin] paused here and did not continue.

Li Yang nodded thoughtfully: "So, let's take it one step at a time."

[Origin] replied: "Continue to Taiqing Temple... maybe there will be some clues there."

Just then, Li Yang heard the footsteps of his father approaching the carriage.

He quickly pretended that nothing had happened and lay in the swaddling clothes and began to pretend to sleep.

"Madam, it's okay." Li Yang's father lifted the curtain of the carriage with a tired but relieved smile on his face, "I have eliminated the monster."

Li Yang's mother hugged him tightly, her voice still trembling: "Great... Husband, are you not injured?"

Li Yang's father shook his head: "I'm fine, but this area is too dangerous, we have to speed up the journey."

As he said, he turned his head slightly and looked at his baby in his cradle.

For some reason, the child was not scared at all despite the hustle and bustle outside just now, but still slept soundly.

Maybe the child just doesn't have any worries in his heart...this is also good.

Afterwards, he turned around and told the servants to continue on their way.

The carriage set off again, slowly moving towards the direction of the capital.

In the next few days, the group stopped and walked, and encountered a lot of troubles.

From time to time, they would encounter a group of talking beasts blocking the road to ask for titles, sometimes strange fog suddenly appeared, and even some rocks that could move by themselves...

Fortunately, these things were not too threatening.

Li Yang's father didn't know much, but it was enough to deal with these little mountain spirits and wild monsters.

Li Yang was observing quietly in the dark, and occasionally he would use his ability to quietly help.

Through the experience of the past few days, Li Yang's understanding of this world is gradually deepening.

He found that not only living things, but even some inanimate objects can have consciousness and become so-called "monsters".

And these "monsters" seem to have one thing in common...

They all contain that extremely distorted chaotic energy.

...

Finally, on the evening of the fifth day, the group arrived at the foot of a small hill outside the capital.

Li Yang's father pointed to the vaguely visible building complex on the top of the mountain and said to everyone: "That is Taiqing Temple. We will rest at the foot of the mountain tonight and go up the mountain early tomorrow morning."

Everyone nodded and began to set up camp.

Li Yang lay in the makeshift tent, looking through the gap at the Taiqing Temple looming in the distance.

For some reason, he always felt that the Taoist temple gave people a mysterious and dangerous feeling.

"【Origin】, do you feel that there is something wrong with that Taoist temple?" Li Yang asked.

【Origin】's voice also sounded a little puzzled: "Indeed... there seems to be a special fluctuation there."

"But I can't say what it is exactly."

Li Yang nodded and decided to observe it carefully after going up the mountain tomorrow.

The next morning, everyone packed up their luggage and started to head towards Taiqing Temple along the mountain road.

As he approached the top of the mountain, Li Yang felt the energy fluctuations around him becoming stronger and stronger.

Not only him, but even his father noticed something unusual.

"This Taiqing Temple... seems to be different from before." Li Yang's father frowned and said.

Just then, a crisp bell sounded from the top of the mountain.

Then, a young man in a Taoist robe walked down from the top of the mountain road.

"Donors, are you here to visit my Taiqing Temple?" the young Taoist asked with a smile.

Li Yang's father hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Yes, I am Li Shouyi, and I have come to seek refuge with Taoist Master Wang of your temple."

After hearing this, the young Taoist showed an expression of sudden enlightenment on his face: "It turned out to be Donor Li! Uncle Wang said you would come a long time ago, and we have been waiting for a long time."

As he said that, he made a gesture of invitation: "Please follow me."

The group followed the young Taoist to the top of the mountain.

Li Yang looked at the Taoist carefully through the gap in the swaddling clothes.

Although this person looks young, his eyes reveal a vicissitudes of life that transcends the world, and it is obvious that he has a high level of cultivation.

Soon, the gate of Taiqing Temple appeared in front of him.

It was an ancient Taoist temple, and the three big characters "Taiqing Temple" on the lintel were vigorous and powerful.

But strangely, Li Yang always felt that those words seemed to be constantly changing, as if they were alive.

"Huh? Strange..." Li Yang blinked in surprise.

When he looked again, the words returned to normal.

"Did I see it wrong?" Li Yang was a little confused.

At this moment, a loud voice came from the temple:

"Shouyi's nephew is finally here! Please come in quickly!"

I saw an old Taoist priest with white hair and beard walking out of the gate with a kind smile on his face.
