The moon hangs over the western mountains, and the cups and plates are in a mess.
Li Changshou stood in front of the alchemy room, watching the direction Jiu Wu left, the smile gradually fading from his face.
It can be said that this uncle has been stabilized for the time being.
From the moment Jiu Wu gave him that meaningful look that day in Beizhou, Li Changshou knew that this thoughtful short Taoist had some curiosity about him.
In addition, I have been very close to Master Jiujiu during this period, and I have asked Master Jiujiu to help me with many things, which will inevitably arouse Master Jiuwu's stronger interest. '.
Curiosity and interest can easily develop into suspicion, which is a potential threat to oneself.
How to eliminate the threat from Master Jiuwu to oneself?
It’s very simple, just kill it.
Ahem, just kidding.
I have no grievances against Master Jiuwu, and Master Jiuwu himself is very powerful and is a well-known deacon in the sect;
Who will have trouble with the Jiujiu Nine Immortals? , will cause a big earthquake in the door;
Going to plot against Jiuwu is simply because you don’t want to live long.
Among the remaining methods, the safest and most reliable is to invite this uncle to come and have a frank talk.
In front of Master Jiu Wu, he made an oath and promised that he would not do anything that would harm the master;
And by the way, he showed off a little bit of his hidden cultivation, so that Uncle Jiuwu felt that he had figured out the secrets of his young nephew...
This way, not only would Uncle Jiuwu stop thinking about himself too much, but he would also win the favor of this senior in the sect. A little bit of goodwill.
This time, we took the initiative and turned a future crisis into a slight opportunity.
Li Changshou recalled the details of his chat with Jiuwu, as if a movie was playing in slow motion, reviewing frame by frame.
The topics when the two chatted, the rhythm and direction of the conversation, and even the subtle changes in expressions and demeanor were all deduced repeatedly by Li Changshou beforehand.
After confirming it, there should be no additional information revealed, and it will not cause the uncle to have other associations.
‘Will any of my words cause other misunderstandings? '
Li Changshou was still a little worried and continued to recall, savoring the words word for word;
He touched his cheek again, recalling every action and expression he had made before, as well as Jiu Wu The uncle's eyes are constantly changing...
There should be nothing wrong.
A light pink shadow appeared at the edge of his vision. Li Changshou turned to look, but it was Ling'e flying over the forest on a white cloud;
Three thousand green silk hair followed her. The wind is dancing gently, and the light pink skirt reflects the red flowers.
With an empty bamboo basket in her arms, she jumped in front of Li Changshou. Her lightly made-up face looked indescribably delicate and charming under the candlelight.
"Senior brother! How's it going? Have you dealt with that senior uncle?"
"Just do it," Li Changshou replied with a smile.He said, "Actually, this is just a small sequelae from my last trip to Beizhou. As long as I don't go out for activities in the future, I won't attract the attention of such senior experts."
Lan Ling'e Blinking, "Senior brother, how did you do it? Did you reveal your hidden cultivation to Uncle Jiuwu?"
Li Changshou glared at his junior sister and said helplessly. :
"Part of it is exposed, otherwise it won't be done.
I have told you many times not to say these things out loud!
Partition walls have ears, and the wind has ears. If you have immortal knowledge, you really haven’t understood half of what I’ve taught you in the past ten years.
It’s hard to believe that someone is listening to this place.”
“Oh. " Lan Ling'e puffed up the corners of her mouth and said gloomily: "I don't mean it, but I care about you. I'm going to clear the dishes..."
She lowered her head and took two steps, then suddenly He turned his head, leaned forward, put his delicate hands on his senior brother's shoulders, blew orchids and scented fragrance into Li Changshou's ears, and asked in a low voice: "Senior brother, where have you reached in your cultivation now? Have you caught up with your master? ? Is he about to become an immortal?"
"Guess."
Li Changshou glanced at her, then hummed a tune and walked out of the small building.
Lan Ling'e made a face at Li Changshou and ran to collect the empty dishes and chopsticks over there.
At the same time, on the white cloud returning to the Breaking Sky Peak...
"This wine is quite strong. It is worthy of the Ganges River water. It is really a bit high."< /p>
Jiuwu's cheeks were red, he was slightly drunk, and his whole body was a little shaky, but his eyes were still clear.
This is a magic trick to prevent your soul from being intoxicated.
As he approached Potian Peak, Jiuwu chuckled, but there was a feeling of emotion in his heart:
This longevity nephew’s cultivation is already at the fifth level of Void Return! Who among the contemporary disciples can you rank among the top?
You can reach this realm after practicing for more than a hundred years, and you are the best choice if you have the best qualifications!
The rare understanding is equally astonishing. I tried his method of formation before and found out many places with just a few clicks.
The most rare thing is to have an excellent mind, which is like the bright moon and the mud like Yuan Qing.
Jiuwu bowed his head and sighed, and said in a low voice:
"Although he didn't say it, how could I not guess the reason why he hid his cultivation?
While drinking, he was obviously hesitant to speak several times, and the subtle expressions he concealed actually revealed the helplessness in his heart.
The reason why the longevity master's nephew must not want to worry about what he already has is. Xiao Qiongfeng, who has a small population, will cause more ups and downs. Even if he himself does not get the key training within the sect, he does not want Junior Brother Qi Yuan to have any unnecessary trouble.
Good disciple, good. Disciple.
If Junior Brother Qi Yuan fails to overcome the tribulation, please ask Senior Brother to come out and bring Junior Brother Changshou and his Junior Sister up to Potian Peak.”
Lianlian. Sighing, Breaking Heaven Peak is already closeIn front of you.
Jiu Wu glanced at his junior sister's attic and found that she had activated the protective formation and must have rested.
"Let me bring some classics to my nephew, Changshou, later."
Well, I will go talk to the elder who teaches the power some other day. Such an immortal seedling will become a success. It shouldn’t be a problem for Xianqian to start practicing the Wuwei Sutra.
Xiao Qiongfeng...
Junior Brother Qiyuan has a good apprentice, which is really enviable. ”
Shaking his head with a sigh, Jiuwu returned to his attic, activated the surrounding formations, floated to the bed with a faint lingering fragrance, and went to meditate.
......
Two days passed after the conversation with Jiu Wuye.
Li Changshou was finally sure that this uncle did not do anything extra.
This made him feel quite relieved that the monastic life had finally returned to the peace that had lasted for a hundred years.
These minor disturbances are actually caused by two small fairy herbs;
At this time, the elixir has been refined, and the disturbance has subsided, regardless of the process or the As a result, Li Changshou was quite satisfied.
In the afternoon, Li Changshou wrapped a melting elixir in a special layer of sugar skin in the alchemy room;
At this point, the preparation work required for the first set of plans has been completed It's done.
Then Li Changshou looked at the eleven extra elixirs he had refined, divided them into three parts, and carefully put them away.
This thing is rarely refined by people, but it is a treasure for people who have no hope of becoming immortals to avoid disasters and extend their lifespan. If there is a chance, I will go to some lively towns and sell a few. Let's change to some other refining formation bases such as treasure materials.
Of course, keep two spares.
Although he is 80% sure of surviving the catastrophe at this time, and his sureness will gradually improve with the accumulation;
And the junior sister will hit the immortal realm in the future , the success rate must be above 60%;
But...
Things are unpredictable, and no one can predict what will happen next.
If I have an extra Melting Immortal Pill as a spare, I can at least guarantee that I will survive even if I encounter a convulsion during a calamity in the future;
Leave a spare Melting Immortal Pill for my junior sister, at least it will be enough Let junior sister copy Master’s plan for old age.
As a disciple and senior brother, he can only help them to this extent.
However, looking at this fusion elixir, Li Changshou fell into thinking for a while...
What if, he meant what if, the master could not even resist the first heavenly tribulation. However, if the thunder falls and is instantly wiped out, what should we do?
"Although the first set of plans is complete, let's proceed with the second and third sets of plans simultaneously.
In case the master suddenly has an epiphany, he can successfully survive the catastrophe. , it would be the best thing to become a normal immortal."
Sighing, Li Changshou stood up and took this heart.He put the Melting Immortal Pill wrapped in sugar skin into his sleeve and walked out of the alchemy room.
Half an hour later.
Li Changshou stood in his master’s retreat place, cleared his throat, bowed to the door, and said loudly:
“Master! I would like to ask you some questions about cultivation. !
Disciple feels deeply ashamed for disturbing Master’s Qing Xiu!”
The wooden door was quickly opened, and Old Taoist Qi Yuan came out with a smile and waved to Li Changshou.
"Let's go to the lake. In recent years, my teacher has also neglected to teach you."
Li Changshou sighed slightly in his heart.
Master opened the door so quickly, it was obvious that he had not entered meditation just now;
Is it already difficult to enter concentration? It seems that the catastrophe is really not far away.
The master and apprentice arrived under the willow tree by the lake. Qi Yuan took out two futons and sat opposite Li Changshou.
Qi Yuan said warmly: "If you have any doubts, feel free to ask."
Then, Qi Yuan's eyes dimmed and he sighed, "If you can't survive the catastrophe as a teacher, "Guan, I'm afraid I won't have the opportunity to teach you this way in the future."
"Master, what did you say?" Li Changshou said with a smile, "Master, you will definitely survive the disaster." Didn’t I often say before that if you don’t even have this kind of self-confidence, how can you face the hardships and experiences given by the Dao?”
“You are greedy for life and afraid of death, but you are preaching to the master? !"
Old Taoist Qi Yuan scolded him with a straight face;
Li Changshou narrowed his eyes and smiled, and quickly got to the point and asked himself about the doubts he encountered while practicing Taoism.
The first three questions Li Changshou asked were relatively common, and they were all problems encountered in practicing in the Return to the Void Realm. Qi Yuan answered them in detail for him.
As for the fourth question, Li Changshou asked how to interpret the phrase "gods return to their gods, qi returns to their qi, the five qi return to their beginnings, and everything goes well".
Old Taoist Qi Yuan was stunned for a moment when he was asked, and then he sat by the lake and thought quietly;
Li Changshou did not stop, and asked three more obviously super questions in succession. Qi Yuan, the old Taoist who was asked all the questions, didn't know how to answer.
He did not mean to embarrass Master, but simply wanted to tactfully remind Master that if Master encounters a bottleneck in his practice, he can explore forward from these aspects.
At this time, Old Taoist Qi Yuan thought that he had little hope of surviving the catastrophe, and wanted to teach his disciples as much as possible. He was also thinking about his understanding of several issues, and did not dare to mislead his disciples.
Gradually, Qi Yuan himself fell into deep thought.
Not long after, the old Taoist Qi Yuan closed his eyes and concentrated;
After a while, some flower petals floated around the body of the old Taoist Qi Yuan. This is what those who are about to overcome the tribulation often do when they enter meditation practice. Visions appear.
It’s just that the color of the petals around Old Taoist Qi Yuan is very light, and the outline of the petals is also a little incomplete...
Li Changshou carefully arranged a simple layer next to his master. soundproofingProtective barrier, turned around and started getting busy in front of his thatched cottage.
This is the main part of the second plan - to improve the master's own strength as much as possible and enhance the master's perception and understanding of the Tao.
‘Well, it would be nice if I could give the master a small part of the epiphany that comes to me every now and then. ’
Li Changshou sighed in his heart and began to prepare supplementary plans for this plan.
The supplementary part of the second set of plans is amazing...
Li Changshou took out the treasure bag marked 'Xuan Thirty-Two' and took out the Three-foot-long strips of purple wood and six six-foot-long colorful metal rods began to be tinkered with.
[Thunder Wood]: A commonly used treasure material for laying out thunder formations, which can guide the power of thunder.
[Seven Divine Irons Containing Thunder]: It is also a commonly used treasure material for laying out thunder formations. It can store and disperse the power of thunder.
According to the 'knowledge' that Li Changshou currently has, most of the destructive power of the Heavenly Tribulation to the monks comes from the power of thunder, and the smaller half is the damage caused by the impact of the avenue.
If you can create a 'secondary transfer lightning rod', when the heavenly tribulation hits the body of the tribulation-transcending person, most of the power of thunder can be drawn out of the body of the tribulation-transcending person, then maybe you can increase the number of people who are overcoming the tribulation. The probability of the disaster being successful;
And theoretically speaking, it will not cause an increase in the power of the disaster.
No matter what, there is always a way to try it.
