Chapter 239 The Dragon Girl is Registered, Heroic Spirits Descend from the Mountain!
now.
The old Taoist priest paused for a moment, then continued, "Back then, during the chaos of war, I was young and didn't even know who my parents were, let alone my given name."
"After we went up the mountain, your master told me to take his surname, Zhang."
"Now that you've taken on a disciple, she shall take your surname."
Li Jun frowned.
"Master, if Lingxi wants to take on disciples in the future, won't she have to make them change their surname?"
The old Taoist priest glared at him.
"Change what? What era are we living in?"
"When the country becomes strong, things like what happened back then will never happen again."
"There's no need to do that anymore."
After listening, Li Jun nodded.
"Okay, I'll listen to Master."
He looked at Nannan and smiled.
"From now on, your name will be Li Lingxi."
"Li Lingxi..."
The little girl tilted her head, read it once, and then smiled sweetly.
"It sounds great!"
The old Taoist priest smiled, his face full of satisfaction.
"Then it's settled!"
He looked at Liu Zhenguo and said, "Little Liu, thank you for your help."
Liu Zhenguo nodded quickly.
"No trouble at all, I'll take care of it right away!"
He took the tablet and began filling out the forms.
Name: Li Lingxi
Gender: Female
nationality:……
He paused for a moment and looked at the old Taoist priest.
"Master Zhang, regarding the ethnicity section..."
The old Taoist priest thought for a moment.
"Let's write Han Chinese."
Liu Zhenguo nodded and filled in "Han".
Date of birth...
He was in a dilemma again.
"Master Zhang, this birth date..."
The old Taoist priest glanced at Xiao Lingxi.
"Let's write about today."
"Today is her new beginning."
Liu Zhenguo nodded and filled in today's date.
He had already prepared all the other information.
Address: Qingfeng Temple.
Guardian: Li Jun.
Everything fell into place naturally.
After filling it out, he pressed the submit button.
"alright."
Liu Zhenguo said with a smile:
"The system will approve it immediately, and you'll get your household registration booklet very soon."
The old Taoist priest nodded.
"Thank you for your help."
Liu Zhenguo quickly waved his hand.
"No trouble at all."
He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Master Zhang, should we take a picture of Nannan... no, Lingxi? We need it for her ID card."
The old Taoist priest looked at Li Lingxi.
"Lingxi, shall we take a picture?"
Li Lingxi blinked and nodded.
"it is good."
Liu Zhenguo quickly took out his phone and opened the camera.
Li Lingxi sat on the old Taoist priest's lap, looking at the camera with curiosity on her little face.
Liu Zhenguo adjusted the angle and pressed the shutter.
Click.
The image freezes.
In the photo, the little girl has a round face, bright golden eyes, and a slight smile. She showed two cute little tiger teeth, which was extremely adorable.
Looking at the photo, Liu Zhenguo suddenly felt a strange sensation.
This is a dragon's ID photo.
One of a kind in the whole world.
He suppressed his emotions and uploaded the photo to the system.
"alright."
He said.
"The household registration book and ID card will be processed soon, and I will bring them over directly."
The old Taoist priest nodded.
"Thanks a lot."
Liu Zhenguo quickly waved his hand.
"It's not hard at all."
He stood up, ready to take his leave.
"Master Dao, I'll go first..."
"Wait a mininute."
Li Jun interrupted him.
"Manager Liu, there's one more thing."
Liu Zhenguo immediately stood at attention.
"Please speak, Taoist priest!"
Li Jun took the fish-shaped tally from his waist and handed it to Liu Zhenguo.
"Please pass this on to President Qin."
Liu Zhenguo was stunned.
His hands were trembling as he looked at the fish-shaped talisman.
He certainly knew what the fish-shaped talisman was.
During the ancient war in the South China Seas, it was the spirits within this fish-shaped tally that manifested and utterly annihilated the Witch God Cult.
This fish-shaped talisman contains over eight hundred heroic spirits.
Now, Master Li is going to hand over this fish-shaped talisman to the night watchman?
"Master, this..." Liu Zhenguo's voice trembled slightly.
Li Jun waved his hand.
"Give it to President Qin; he knows how to use it."
Liu Zhenguo took a deep breath and accepted the fish tally with both hands.
The fish-shaped talisman I received felt warm and smooth, like jade.
He could sense the terrifying power contained within this small fish-shaped talisman.
"Yes! I will personally deliver it to President Qin!"
Liu Zhenguo nodded heavily.
Li Jun nodded and said nothing more.
Liu Zhenguo carefully put away the fish-shaped tally, then clasped his hands in a respectful greeting.
"Master Daoist, Master Zhang, I shall take my leave now."
The old Taoist priest nodded.
"Drive carefully."
Liu Zhenguo responded and turned to walk out.
After leaving the Taoist temple, he walked down the mountain step by step along the bluestone steps.
The pace was slow.
It's not that I can't walk fast, it's that I dare not walk too fast.
Because what he was holding in his hands was a fish-shaped tally.
It is a fish-shaped talisman that can summon eight hundred heroic spirits.
Liu Zhenguo took a deep breath, trying his best to keep his hands from trembling.
He walked a dozen steps.
suddenly.
He sensed another presence beside him.
Liu Zhenguo paused and turned to look.
Suddenly, I noticed that there was another person beside me.
It was a man.
He was tall with broad shoulders and a wide back, and wore a suit of bright armor that gleamed with a metallic sheen in the sunlight.
His face was resolute, with thick, sharp eyebrows and a short beard, exuding an aura of steely resolve that came from countless battles.
It was Han Tieyi.
He walked beside Liu Zhenguo with steady steps and his eyes fixed straight ahead.
Liu Zhenguo was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously tightened his grip on the fish-shaped tally in his hand.
Han Tieyi seemed to sense his tension and turned to look at him.
There was no malice in those eyes, only calmness.
"Do not be nervous."
He spoke, his voice low and deep.
"His Majesty has instructed us to accompany you down the mountain."
Liu Zhenguo opened his mouth, as if to say something.
But Han Tieyi had already looked away and continued walking forward.
Liu Zhenguo opened his mouth, as if to say something.
But Han Tieyi had already looked away and continued walking forward.
Liu Zhenguo swallowed hard and quickly followed.
I walked a few more steps.
Another presence appeared beside me.
It's Chen Qing.
He walked to Liu Zhenguo's other side and smiled at him.
The smile was gentle, which eased Liu Zhenguo's tension somewhat.
Take a few more steps.
Another figure appeared.
Take a few more steps.
Another one.
Take a few more steps.
Another one.
Then, with each step Liu Zhenguo took, several heroic spirits in armor appeared beside him.
Some of them wore heavy armor, some wore light armor, and some wore leather armor.
Some carried long spears, some carried waist knives, and some carried bows and crossbows.
They walked on silently without saying a word.
Their steps were synchronized, their momentum as imposing as a mountain.
Liu Zhenguo walked among them, feeling the power fluctuations emanating from these heroic spirits, and dared not even breathe loudly.
Those forces were too strong.
So strong that it gave him a feeling...
I felt like a cat that had wandered into a pack of tigers.
If these tigers were to move their claws even slightly, they would be torn to shreds.
But those heroic spirits simply walked on.
Silently and resolutely, they walked down the mountain step by step.
Liu Zhenguo counted them.
One hundred steps, two hundred steps, three hundred steps...
With each step taken, more heroic spirits are added.
When Liu Zhenguo reached the foot of the mountain and walked to the car, he found the place behind him filled with the spirits of fallen heroes.
They are densely packed, stretching from the foot of the mountain all the way to the mountainside.
He glanced back.
Eight hundred and twenty-eight heroic spirits stood there in perfect order.
In the sunlight, their armor gleamed with a cold luster.
Their faces were either resolute, delicate, weathered, or youthful.
But their eyes all looked the same.
firm.
calm.
There's still a sliver...
Reluctant to part with it.
Looking at them, Liu Zhenguo suddenly felt a surge of indescribable emotions.
He remembered something.
I remembered the stories from those textbooks.
Those stories about the frontier, about the soldiers who died on the battlefield to protect this land.
He had heard, read, and memorized those stories since he was a child.
But I never felt anything.
until now.
Until these living, breathing heroes stood before him.
Liu Zhenguo's eyes suddenly stung.
He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
Then, he looked at Han Tieyi, who was standing at the very front.
He wanted to say something.
But Han Tieyi did not give him a chance.
Han Tieyi, who hadn't looked back since he started descending the mountain, suddenly stopped.
He turned around.
Facing the direction of Qingfeng Temple.
at the same time.
The heroic spirits behind him also turned around in unison.
Eight hundred and twenty-eight heroic spirits stood in formation under the sunlight.
Their movements were perfectly synchronized, without a single sound.
Only the clanging sound of armor clashing echoed at the foot of the mountain.
then.
Han Tieyi clasped his hands together and bowed deeply to the Taoist temple on the mountain.
Behind him, 827 heroic spirits clasped their fists and bowed at the same time.
This bow was silent.
But at the foot of the mountain, Liu Zhenguo could feel that heavy emotion.
I am grateful.
There is reluctance.
and also……
committed to.
The mountain wind blew by, stirring the armor and hair of the heroic spirits.
But they remained motionless.
He bowed deeply, facing the small Taoist temple.
To the person who gave them a new life.
A long time passed.
Han Tieyi straightened up.
Beside him, 827 heroic spirits also stood up at the same time.
Then, Han Tieyi turned around and looked at Liu Zhenguo.
His gaze returned to calm and determination.
"Let's go."
He said.
Liu Zhenguo took a deep breath and nodded heavily.
He opened the car door and got into the driver's seat.
Han Tieyi stood by the car and took one last look at the Taoist temple on the mountain.
Then, he transformed into a beam of light and disappeared into the fish-shaped talisman.
Behind him, eight hundred and twenty-seven heroic spirits also transformed into streaks of light, streaking across the sky like shooting stars and disappearing into the fish-shaped talisman.
Outside the car window, the light gradually faded.
At the foot of the mountain, silence returned.
It was as if nothing had happened.
But Liu Zhenguo knew that everything was different now.
He gripped the steering wheel, his hands still trembling slightly.
He took a deep breath and started the car.
With a roar of the engine, the car slowly drove away.
In the rearview mirror, the small Taoist temple grew farther and farther away, smaller and smaller.
Finally, it disappeared from sight.
……
Qingfeng Temple.
yard.
Lingxi was sitting at the stone table, holding a rattle drum.
Suddenly, she looked towards the door.
"Master, what were those uncles doing just now?"
She pointed outside the door, her little face full of curiosity.
Li Jun followed her gaze.
There was nothing outside the door.
But he knew that at the foot of the mountain outside the door, eight hundred and twenty-eight heroic spirits once stood.
Li Jun withdrew his gaze and gently rubbed Lingxi's little head.
"They are saying goodbye."
He said his voice was very soft.
"They're going to continue doing what they've always been doing."
Lingxi blinked.
"What have you been doing all this time? What is it?"
Li Jun remained silent for a second.
Then he smiled.
"guard."
He said.
"To protect this land and the people on this land."
Lingxi nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
She held the rattle drum, looking out the door, and something was slowly growing in her golden eyes.
Just then, the old Taoist priest came out of the house.
He was carrying a bag, looking like he was about to go out.
Seeing this scene, Li Jun felt a strange sense of unease.
"Master, are you going down the mountain?"
The old Taoist priest nodded.
"Yes, let's take Lingxi down the mountain to buy some things."
He looked at the bag in his hand, then at Li Jun.
"What's wrong?"
Upon hearing this, Li Jun felt a bitter taste in his mouth and glanced at Xiao Lingxi beside him.
"Master, please don't say anything carelessly when you go down the mountain."
The old Taoist priest gave Li Jun a sideways glance.
"Does this old Taoist priest need you to teach him how to do things?"
With that, he led Xiao Lingxi down the mountain.
Li Jun stood in the courtyard, watching the two figures, one tall and one short, disappear from sight, his expression somewhat helpless.
Knowing Master's personality, once he descends the mountain and meets people, he will inevitably boast about it.
He already had a premonition that his reputation was likely to be damaged.
Li Jun took a deep breath, trying hard to stop thinking about it.
Forget it.
Whatever.
He shook his head and turned to go back to his room.
……
at the same time.
Down the mountain.
The old Taoist priest led Xiao Lingxi along the path at a leisurely pace.
The sun was shining brightly, and it felt warm and cozy on my skin.
In the fields on both sides of the road, the wheat seedlings have turned green again, lush and vibrant.
It was Lingxi's first time going down the mountain, and everything was new and exciting to her.
She would point at the birds in the sky, then at the flowers by the roadside, and then squat down to look at the ants on the ground, asking all sorts of questions, her little mouth never stopping.
The old Taoist priest wasn't bothered at all and answered each question with a smile.
After walking for a while, a village appeared ahead.
The villagers were chatting when they saw the old Taoist priest and greeted him.
"Master Zhang, you've come down the mountain?"
"Master Zhang, where are you going?"
The old Taoist priest responded with a smile.
"Go to town and buy some things for this child."
The villagers looked at Lingxi and praised her.
"Oh my, whose child is this? He's so handsome!"
"Master Zhang, is this a relative of yours?"
The old Taoist priest's eyes narrowed as he smiled.
"No, it's my granddaughter."
He paused, then added.
"He is also my grand-disciple."
The villagers were stunned for a moment.
The old Taoist priest didn't explain, but just smiled and led Xiao Lingxi forward.
After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and looked back.
On the mountainside, Qingfeng Temple stands quietly.
The blue tiles are mottled, and the courtyard walls are mottled.
The red lanterns hanging from the eaves swayed gently in the wind.
The old Taoist priest looked for a few seconds, then turned around and continued walking forward.
"grandfather."
Lingxi suddenly spoke.
The old Taoist priest bowed his head.
"Um?"
Lingxi tilted her little face up and asked earnestly.
"Master, aren't you bored being home alone?"
The old Taoist priest was taken aback.
Then he smiled.
"Won't."
He said.
"Your master is busy."
Lingxi blinked and nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
The old Taoist priest took her hand and continued walking forward.
The sunlight fell on them, casting two long shadows on the ground.
One big and one small.
One is tall and the other is short.
Slowly, it disappeared at the end of the path.
