In the Temple of the Sea, two immortal guards stood in the corner of the backyard, holding the landscape map.
If you can stare at this landscape painting carefully for a while, you can see that the two figures in it are like living creatures, with some tiny movements of raising and cupping their hands.
The two figures are naturally Li Changshou's paper Taoist and the Dongmu Gong.
The two exchanged a few words, then arranged several isolation formations outside the Temple of the Sea, and entered a treasure map that could blind the exploration of immortal consciousness and the deduction of heavenly secrets.
This picture has a lot of origins. It is an imitation of the Xiantian Lingbao Mountain and River Sheji Picture.
In the picture, the two exchanged a few words, and Dongmu Gong briefly explained the purpose of his visit.
"His Majesty the Jade Emperor benefited a lot from his last conversation with the Poseidon;
A few days ago, all the immortals gathered in the Lingxiao Palace, and His Majesty has named the matter of the Poseidon in the South China Sea. There will be a decree to arrive here.
Fellow Taoist, from now on you and I will be ministers of the same palace."
Li Changshou frowned slightly and said: "This is not the case. , it can be more or less.
Please tell me how long it will take for the decree to come down."
"It may take a hundred years, or it may take two to three hundred years."
Dongmu Gongfusu smiled softly, with a bit of embarrassment on his skinny face.
“Fellow Taoists should be aware of the current situation in the Heavenly Court.
Because most of the positions of righteous gods in the Heavenly Court are currently vacant, the operation of the Heavenly Way is almost maintained by His Majesty alone. It will take at least a hundred years for the will of the gods to be answered by heaven." Li Changshou smiled in his heart and said: "There is no need to worry about this matter, even a thousand years will not matter.
Moreover, I have to ask Dongmu Gong to go back and inform His Majesty that even if I obtain the divine status, I cannot immediately go to heaven to hear the announcement.
I cannot let a paper man go to heaven. This would be a laughing stock.
When the time is right, I will enter Tianmen, worship Lingxiao, and do my best for Your Majesty."
"Fellow Taoist, you are not impatient, and you are really kind-hearted. ”
Dongmu Gong sighed in admiration, obviously he had expected Li Changshou’s words;
After all, during the last meeting, Li Changshou mentioned that it would be inconvenient for him to go to heaven for the time being.
When the decree of Zhao'an Poseidon comes down, Li Changshou will obtain the throne of heaven.
Then, he only needs to order the divine envoys to add portraits of the Jade Emperor to the most popular temples, hang them behind the statues of himself and Ao Yi, and declare that the Poseidon Sect has returned to heaven.
At that time, the merits of incense will still be the merits of incense, and there will be no change from now.
And Heaven will also send Heavenly merits to him, the God of the Sea, which is similar to the nature of paying wages...
But this Heavenly merits are not so easy to get, Dongmu Gong. The first time I came here, six questions were raised directly.
The first five items are things that the Jade Emperor was undecided about and wanted to hear his Poseidon’s opinions. ——In fact, I just want to further confirm his value as an adviser.
Li Changshou was not in a hurry this time. After careful consideration, he gave his brief opinions one by one.
For the sake of safety, he restrained his ‘vision’ and gave opinions that the Jade Emperor could see.
This is obviously different from the previous twelve pieces of advice, most of which were summarized by Li Changshou through the events of later generations...
But Dongmu Gong finally asked, The difficult matter concerning Dongmu Gong himself gave Li Changshou a bit of a headache.
A saint is involved here.
Li Changshou had already made some rough guesses about Duke Dongmu’s identity, lifeline, and even his story when they last met.
Li Changshou couldn’t help but sigh after listening to Dongmu Gong’s careful words today.
The old man in front of me...
It is really not easy.
The so-called Dongmu Gong is actually Dongwang Gong, the previous life of the Chunyang Immortal Lu Dongbin in later generations.
When the Heavenly Court was first established, in order to restrain the real power of the Jade Emperor, a sage established an East Prince to take charge of the male immortals in the Heavenly Court.
This is nothing at all. Although there is overlap of authority with the Jade Emperor, Dongwanggong himself is a subordinate of the Jade Emperor.
The trouble is that the goddess corresponding to the position of the East Prince is the Queen Mother of the West who rules over the fairies in heaven.
The Queen Mother of the West and the future Queen Mother are the same person!
She and the Jade Emperor were both virgins and boys who accompanied Daozu in the Zixiao Palace. They were brothers and sisters.
According to Dongmu Gong’s secret observation, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother are still the childhood sweethearts, each performing their own duties in heaven.
But Dongmu Gong often saw the Jade Emperor entering and leaving the Yaochi in Heaven, and sometimes the two of them would go to the Yaochi in West Kunlun together...
Now, Dongwanggong and the Queen Mother of the West have become the Heavenly Palace. The heads of male and female immortals are often juxtaposed by the heavenly immortals...
Can the Jade Emperor be as good as a stick in his throat?
Originally, Duke Dong originally thought that since he had an appointment from the sage, even His Majesty the Jade Emperor could not touch him.
But soon, he...
He was trained by the Jade Emperor to be loyal!
He is well aware of the Jade Emperor’s methods, and now, he is proud to be able to assist such a master of the three realms!
Although the Jade Emperor did not mention the matter of 'Dong Wang Gong and Queen Mother of the West', Dong Wang Gong did not dare not be vigilant.
As a result, Dongwanggong changed himself into Dongmugong. He was always cautious and never used the power of "appointment of male immortals" in his hands. Whatever the Jade Emperor said, he, Dongmugong, would do whatever he said.
However, the Jade Emperor has not yet gained power and has no available people;
If the Jade Emperor has full wings, whether he wants to take over power or for reputation, he will Mugong will definitely know...
Must know...
Dongmugong has been worried for many years and has no one to discuss with him. Recently, I saw that the Jade Emperor was very impressed by this South China Sea God. I had no choice but to come here.
"Fellow TaoistYou are so resourceful and resourceful, can you point out a clear path for the poor? "
Li Changshou groaned a few times in his heart, and the face of the old immortal transformed by the paper Taoist also showed a little embarrassment.
Dongmu Gong stood up and made a bow. He took two storage magic weapons in his sleeves and said in a low voice:
"If fellow Taoist can give me some pointers, I will be very grateful to you! ”
Li Changshou does not have the temperament to be influenced by external things, but Dongmu Gong has given too much...
Ahem, no amount of giving will be enough in this matter. !
Even if this is a difficult problem, Li Changshou already knows the best solution;
But if he helps Mr. Dongmu, he will undermine the saint.
No matter which saint set up the East Prince to disgust the Jade Emperor, it was not something Li Changshou could provoke at this time.
Li Changshou naturally made a clear distinction between life and wealth. < /p>
Li Changshou sighed: "I can't help fellow Taoist in any way. This matter mainly depends on how far fellow daoist can retreat. ”
Dongmu Gong hurriedly said: “If I can live without worries in the future, and the fruit of immortality can be guaranteed, I don’t dare to ask for more!”
Li Changshou thought for a while and could only say: "There are no reasons to rush. You can get rid of the dead wood in three steps." "
"Dare I ask, those three steps? "
"I really dare not say it," Li Changshou smiled and shook his head, pushing the two storage magic weapons back.
He did not want to get involved in this cause and effect, and he could not get involved. .
But now, Dongmu Gong is the messenger of the Jade Emperor, and Li Changshou also knows that he cannot harm this person.
He can only do it for free on the basis of not taking responsibility for the cause and effect. I gave Duke Dongmu an idea...
...
'Why are you so busy sending us treasures recently?'
Xiao Qiong? In the Feng Dan Room, Li Changshou murmured and secretly asked the Zhi Taoist outside the mountain gate to rush to the edge of the South China Sea.
Dong Mugong insisted on keeping the two storage magic weapons and told Li Changshou. Tears of gratitude.
Obviously, what Li Changshou gave him was only a temporary solution, not the root cause, but Dongmu Gong seemed to have opened the door to a new world...
Li Changshou secretly thought. Calculating, the treasures he has obtained now are enough to keep him busy for several years.
After the competition within the sect, the peaks of Duxian Sect quickly became quiet, and the young disciples recovered again. Daily life of cultivating immortals
Ling'e, Jiujiu, and Youqin Xuanya, who had just arrived half an hour ago, were drinking and having fun in the thatched cottage.
This is their little one. Li Changshou's appearance at the fairies' gathering was untimely, so he simply let it go.
Li Changshou took out a bamboo slip and carved on it what he wanted to do from today until the meeting of the origins of the three religions. Many things to do:
First, refine the formation base, fill in the large formation, and construct the core formation base of the Xiaoqiongfeng formation system;
Second, continue to improve the "Turtle" Calm Qi Technique" to deal with the situation when you cannot escape this 'disaster'.
As for this conference on the origins of the Three Religions, Li Changshou has decided not to go because of illness (disruption in practice). As long as the two golden immortals in the sect don't come to diagnose and treat him at that time, he can cope with it.
But Li Changshou had a vague feeling that this matter must not be that simple...
After these two events, there is a lot of money in alchemy.
What is not written on this bamboo slip are two things that must be done - monitoring the movements of Xianlin Peak and encouraging Master to get out of his isolation.
In this way, the monastic life after the sect competition returned to its usual fullness.
It took Li Changshou three years to turn the treasures rewarded by the sect and part of the thank-you gifts given by Duke Dongmu into Xiao Qiongfeng's 'defensive power'.
Li Changshou was worried that the two storage magic weapons given by Duke Dongmu would have a 'tracking' effect, so he discarded them directly.
After carefully inspecting each of the treasures and spiritual stones, he sealed them one by one with the Wu Clan's Secret Code and received them in his treasure bag;
Inside Those magic weapons were directly arranged by Li Changshou to be given to the Zhi Taoist who was changing his defense. It was impossible to get them around...
Later, Li Changshou calculated the way and trajectory of the Zhi Taoist's return home, and asked the Zhi Taoist to After going around for a few times, they returned to the vicinity of Duxian Gate, where the master went out and brought him back to Xiao Qiongfeng.
His current identity must not be exposed in front of the Jade Emperor.
That would destroy the image of the 'resourceful old god' that he had finally built up...
After getting this part of the formation base, Li Changshou refined some pills. Medicine, thinking that the young master's uncle's wine was almost finished, I brewed a batch of fine wine for the young master's uncle.
Jiarenmei has been completely eliminated by him. After all, there is some cause and effect.
This day...
After several years of busy work, everything is stable, and Li Changshou also wants to relax a little.
Practice is like this, you need to relax and have a degree. If you keep tightening it, it will only make yourself physically and mentally tired.
At this time, take a walk in Xiaoqiong Peak and wander around. This is a rare rest, and it is often easy to have some feelings from the bottom of your heart and suddenly realize it.
Walking in the forest, breathing the fresh air, and feeling a stream of emotion flowing in my heart.
Walking around, he arrived at the spirit beast circle that he had worked so hard to build.
Li Changshou raises spirit beasts mainly for their 'medicinal value'. Some elixirs require the blood of spirit beasts. In addition, there are three double-eyed spiders that can be used. beast.
Looking at the spirit beast circle at this time, most of the spirit beasts are actually useless;
But Li Changshou has some feelings after all, so he just teases the two in the west. Fat', teasing and teasing the 'Ahua' in the east, happy and contented.
Today, Li Changshou walked to Erpang's spiritual circle as a habit, and the indifferent smile at the corner of his mouth gradually disappeared.
Huh?
What about Er Pang?
Everywhere in the spiritual circle is intact, it doesn’t look like he ran away.
The immortal knowledge swept away...
Eh?
Why are more than half of the spirit beasts in my spirit beast circle missing?
Li Changshou immediately checked his junior sister, master, and junior junior uncle who was sleeping soundly on Ling'e's bed, and found that there was nothing unusual about Xiao Qiongfeng.
When he was refining the formation base and practicing, he usually scattered his immortal consciousness on Xiao Qiong Peak. If anything unusual happened, he would be awakened.
If there is nothing abnormal, these scenes will be turned into a part of memory, stored in the bottom of his heart without his mind.
——Monks have been cultivating for thousands of years, and this kind of 'skill' is considered necessary for everyone.
At this time, Li Changshou counted with his fingers, searched his memory, and soon saw this scene, a daily situation that he had subconsciously ignored before...
About three years ago, One afternoon, three beautiful girls appeared in the spirit beast circle.
Ling'e looked at the cub that she had forgotten to feed and thus died with distress, feeling helpless for a while.
Youqin Xuanya sighed: "Junior sister, I apologize and accept the change."
"This is okay. I ignored it because of the competition within the sect. At most, it is "I was scolded by my senior brother."
Ling'e shook her head slightly and said with a smile, "Just in time, junior sister, let me show off my skills again. How about we go to the back mountain stream and roast it?"
Jiujiu suddenly cheered. Although Youqin Xuanya frowned slightly, she did not stop him.
So, half a month later...
"Xiao Ling'e, look at this one, does it look sick?"
"Well... ...Maybe he's sick."
"Barbecue or something?"
"This kind of soup tastes best."
"That's it!"
So, ten days later...
"Xiaoya is here for a rare visit today. Why is there no cute spiritual beast and he crashes into a tree?"
A certain uncle secretly raised his hand, and Erhua ran like a girl and hit a big tree. He died on the spot, which was very strange.
Seven days later...
"This one looks like he has heatstroke!"
Three days later...
"Wow, This one definitely seems to have a demon! Xiaoya, don’t you?”
“Yes!” Youqin Xuanya nodded vigorously.
"This...can you see it?" Xiao Ling'e shouted with some guilt.
Again...and...
Li Changshou stopped to check and raised his hand to hold his forehead.
No, I’m a little dizzy.
If he had been out of seclusion for a year late, the entire spirit beast circle would have been eaten up by those three female Qi refiners!
"Lan Ling'e!"
The girl who was copying and carving scriptures under the willow tree trembled and raised her hands to cover her eyes.
It’s over, the crime has been committed...
Ling'e could hear that voice, like the cold wind of the Nine Netherworld, entering her ears from behind.
"Go and invite your senior sister Youqin here. I have a few words to say to her."
"Hey...hey!"
Ling'e's little hands trembled, and she held up her skirt and flew into the clouds, flying in the direction of Potian Peak.
