Daoist Master of Qing Xuan

Chapter 101: To Whom Does the Milky Way Belong To?

In an instance, it was already night time, both Ruoxi and Shen Lian were on the roof of the clinic. It was already summer. The stars littered across the sky, a faint river could also be seen, it was indistinct.

Shen Lian’s gaze was on that river. There were records in Daoist ancient books and records about that river being called the ‘milky way’.

There was an immortal from the previous generation who had the lucky chance to reach the milky way, he then realized the ‘Milky Way Swordsmanship’ and established a Daoist sect. There was a time when five Zhenren appeared at one time, and it flourished for some time. Afterward, for reasons unknown, there was an internal conflict within the sect and this mega Celestialism that almost came close to the four main Daoist sects had fallen. It was also unknown whether anything was passed down or remained.

As for the ‘Milky Way Swordsmanship’ that was the foundation of the established sect, there was also no one to passed down to. Speaking of it, the ‘Milky Way Swordsmanship’ was above Chen Jianmei’s ‘Shapeless Sword Formula’, because it was the milky way grandmaster who used this swordsmanship to break through the cosmos and went away. He was hailed as an unlikely grand achiever of this world.

Ruoxi said, “Big brother, I want to listen to a story.”

“What do you want to listen to today?” Shen Lian asked softly.

“I want to know about where that river in the sky came from.” Ruoxi pointed towards the sky with a finger while biting another finger of the other hand.

Shen Lian smiled simply and said, “Alright, let’s talk about it. A long time ago, there was a young cattle herder named Lee. His parents had passed away very early on. People called him Lee Erwa, he has an ox that was left by his parents for him.

He also has a brother and his brother’s wife. The brother’s wife did not like Lee Erwa. She always never gave him a full meal and had him sleep together with the ox.

After that, the brother’s wife chased both him and the ox out of the house. He did not want to sell off the ox so he said to the ox, ‘Brother ox, I really cannot bear to sell you off. I am afraid that you will be slaughtered by others and have your flesh eaten. You just go from here.’.” Shen Lian paused for a while. Young Ruoxi did not care about how does the milky way has anything to do with the ox at all, she quickly asked, “Big brother, if the ox has left, then what about the young man? His brother and his brother’s wife does not want him.” Actually, she was still a little worried that what if his brother had a wife in the future and the woman does not like her and chased her off?

“It was this moment that the ox suddenly opens its mouth and talked. It said, ‘You cannot bear to part with me, I also cannot bear to abandon you.’ He was naturally surprised and shocked that the ox could open its mouth and speak. However, he had spent all of his life with the ox and was not afraid that the ox was a demon.

The ox was truly a formidable demon and it taught Lee Erwa on how to cultivate to become a similar being of a celestial. But not long after it had taught him, the ox was caught and brought away by a celestial.

By then, he had already learned to fly. After he caught up with the ox and the celestial in the chase, the celestial simply waved his hand when he saw that he was hot on their trails. The milky way appeared in the sky. It is very wide and he couldn’t see the shore on the other side. He did not know how long he flew and fell into the milky way afterward when there was no more strength left.” Shen Lian leisurely continued.

“What happened next? Is the young man all right after falling into the milky way?” Little Ruoxi was extremely nervous. She has always been absorbed in the story during story time.

Shen Lian replied, “He did not drown after falling into the milky way. A red carp saved him. It turned out that this carp was transformed by a female celestial. Later, he married the female celestial and went back to the mortal world.”

“Then what happened to the brother ox? Did the young man not went again to save him? Was it eaten by the celestial? Do celestials even eat meat?” Ruoxi was really worried.

“He had a good life with that female celestial and naturally he had forgotten about that ox who is still waiting high above in the Ninth Heaven for him to rescue it. Who knows?” Shen Lian patted Ruoxi’s small shoulders.

“Then, what is the ending like?”

Shen Lian smiled and said, “I too don’t know how it ends. Perhaps the ox is still waiting for him to rescue it, who knows?”

His story was partially true. The milky way was indeed created by a Daoist master, as for the ox and the female celestial, it was all made up by him.

“Big brother, I still have something to say.” Ruoxi suddenly faced Shen Lian and said in a serious tone.

“What is it?” Shen Lian asked. Little children always asked the strangest questions but Shen Lian was always patient.

“Big brother, can you not get a wife? Wait until I’ve grown up and I’ll become your bride. That way, no one can chase Ruoxi away.” She had this sad look on her face, there were signs of tears in those bright eyes.

Shen Lian pinched her little nose and said, “For someone small, you’re being oversensitive. Make a few more copies of the calligraphy tomorrow.”

Ruoxi tugged on his sleeves and pestered on when she did not get the answer she wanted, “Big brother, promise me.”

“All right, I can guarantee that no one will chase you away.” Shen Lian answered nonchalantly.

The young girl was making a groundless statement so how was he going to take it seriously? After all, he had his heart set on pursuing Dao and had not even thought about looking for other women. Speaking of which, he had lived for a long time when he combined his past life and his current life. If it was someone ordinary, they would have started and ended their first love and went through waves of people for relationships.

Little Ruoxi had gotten Shen Lian’s reply and the most important thing was that no one would chase her away. As for being his bride or not, that was something secondary.

With a wave of sleepiness coming in, she fell asleep laying in Shen Lian’s arms.

The night breeze blew through and it was cool like water.

A swoosh of the blade came from afar with the cool breeze. It was quick and short.

Shen Lian did not need sleep a long time ago and he was lazy to meditate and practice his Qi. It was a waste of his time anyway so he might as well give in to that interest and decided to watch a show.

Even as he was carrying a little girl, his body was light as a sparrow and unusually stable. He did not disturb Ruoxi who was sleeping.

Under the night sky, there was a shadow that almost blended with the moonlight. After it went up and down, it was already on another street.

Usually, this street did not have a lot of people. Furthermore, it was night time and it had become a dead alley.

There were five men in black clothing chasing after a juvenile.

There were five cuts on the body of the juvenile. Two on the back, three on his right hand.

He was now holding a long sword in his left hand, as though he was giving a final struggle.

The juvenile was clad in white and he was quite cool and solemn.

One of the men in black said, “Young man, give us the ‘Stream Sword technique’ and you can die in one piece.”

“No way.” The juvenile managed to say these two words through the grit of his teeth.

Another man in black followed, “Boss, don’t waste your breath with him. Let’s restrain him and talk after we searched him.”

The five men in black used sabers and it seemed that their expertise lied in the combo method. Their attacks seemed flawless as they slowly closed in.

The juvenile, on the other hand, had become a trapped beast in a cage.

The laden atmosphere dispersed without a word.

Suddenly, the juvenile went ahead and collided into them. The five people in black, however, were taken aback as they were afraid of killing him and were unable to retrieve the secret text.

During this hesitation, the young person suddenly rolled down towards the floor and with the long sword pointing upwards, it was thrust towards them.

This thrust was really ordinary but two of the men in black actually got caught by the tip of his sword.

Coincidentally, it hit the Qimen point. This was a crucial pressure point of the human body and it caused the whole body to be relaxed once it was hit.

The juvenile swung his sword a few more time. His swordsmanship was common and there were not much exquisite transformation but the several men in black clothes were easily cut by him, as though they had been bewitched.
