Leaving the Lingxiao Palace and returning to the Poseidon Mansion, Li Changshou squinted and smiled.
I used a fake public service to benefit private interests once, and it felt pretty good...
No, that’s not right, both public and private benefits are good, how can I call it a fake public benefit to private interests?
After looking at the golden light shining in his sleeve, Li Changshou felt very comfortable.
It directly saves me a lot of merit power!
This treasure only needs a little training later, and it can become a spiritual treasure of acquired merit that is both offensive and defensive!
And according to Li Changshou's calculation, as long as he completes the survey of rivers, lakes and seas, heaven will still send merit, and this treasure may be improved again!
So when he left the Lingxiao Palace just now, seeing His Majesty the Jade Emperor's moved and emotional eyes, Li Changshou felt somewhat...
I felt a little embarrassed.
The twelve-year dragon harvesting plan has been fully launched, and Li Changshou has already made arrangements for what should be arranged.
Next, he will not do everything personally. After visiting the teachings and teachings, he will go to the Dragon Palace to say hello to the Dragon King of the East China Sea, and then travel to Nanzhou in a boat with public funds, waiting for the peach banquet to begin.
Whether this plan is the most effective is actually open to question.
But for Li Changshou, this is the most stable plan, and it is also the plan that he can avoid offending on both sides...
After returning to Poseidon Mansion, Li Changshou placed the Emperor's Demon-Slaying Sword At the most conspicuous place in the main hall, he bowed and bowed again.
Then he moved a rocking chair, basked in the sunshine in the heaven, and waited for Dongmu Gong to deliver the peaches.
One day, the heavenly general brought tea, and the Fairy Yaochi brought the fruit plate gifted by the Queen Mother. Li Changshou just enjoyed it leisurely...
Although the paper Taoist tasted these, the taste was slightly It's not enough, but it still needs to be done to show off.
If I didn't have so many paper Taoists and were really in this position, my life in heaven would be extremely leisurely, comfortable, and boring.
Speaking of the Queen Mother, Li Changshou has never seen the true appearance of this queen since she went to heaven.
——In fact, Li Changshou deliberately avoided it and did not go to see the Queen Mother.
Avoid suspicion?
This is not necessary.
Li Changshou is not yet confident that he can be misunderstood by others just because he is an old paper Taoist. On weekdays, he doesn’t even come into contact with the female fairies. At most, he just jokes with the generals. sentence.
Not going to see the Queen Mother was because Li Changshou was worried about the conflict between the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother over the 'power of heaven'.
The Queen Mother and the Jade Emperor are almost the same. Daozu asked them to take charge of the heaven;
Nominally, the authority of the Queen Mother is not under the Jade Emperor.
Nowadays, Li Changshou does not understand the relationship between the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother. However, the power of heaven is in the hands of the Jade Emperor, and the Queen Mother only practices in the Yaochi.
Therefore, if you take the initiative to visit the Queen Mother, you risk being misunderstood by the Jade Emperor; if you don’t visit,Queen Mother, she will not suffer any losses.
Comparing the two, one should choose the lighter one, and the core word "stable" stands out.
With these thoughts passing through his heart, Li Changshou chuckled. The old immortal paper Taoist closed his eyes and rested there.
Listening to the wind, there are whispers outside the wall, the orderly footsteps of heavenly soldiers patrolling, and the gentle laughter of fairies on an unknown fairy mountain in the distance.
The sound is heard but not in the heart.
Going to see the people in charge of the teachings of the two sects of Chanjie is actually going to see Guangchengzi and Taoist Duobao.
Jie Jiao’s side is nice, and Chan Jiao’s side also has the deputy leader Ran Deng, so he has to prepare in advance to avoid making things difficult for him.
Li Changshou heard from Dongmu Gong before that because there were no guests at the previous peach banquet in Heaven, the balance of peaches in the Yaochi treasure house was very serious, and many peaches would turn into spiritual energy and dissipate after a thousand years. Caused serious waste.
So, this time when I went to give gifts to the two sects of Chanjie, Heaven would not be stingy.
‘How should I hint to Your Majesty that we also want to get some peaches to eat? ’
Although flat peach itself is not very useful, master, junior sister, junior uncle, master, and prospective master’s wife, taking flat peach will definitely be of great benefit.
After junior sister ascended and came out of seclusion, it was quite appropriate to bring some flat peaches back to celebrate.
Just as he was thinking like this, Li Changshou was doing two things. A small part of his mind stayed in the Poseidon Mansion in Heaven, and the majority of his mind returned to his true body.
The immortal consciousness carefully checked every place in the mountain gate again, and made sure that everything was as usual, and there were no inner demons causing trouble, and then he looked back with peace of mind.
At this moment, a beautiful figure flew out of Potian Peak and came towards Xiaoqiong Peak.
She stepped on the colorful clouds and wore an elegant ice-blue dress. Her long hair was not combed at the temples, but was tied into a simple ponytail. When her jade face was cold, she was so beautiful that people could not help but think subconsciously, What does she look like when she smiles?
"Don't you need to retreat if you are poisonous?"
Li Changshou was also a little puzzled.
Having just helped her deal with her inner demons, this is when she should be experiencing a lot of insights, so why are she going out for a walk?
Is it possible that there is still depression in my heart?
"That's it, help people to the end, and trick Buddha into the west."
Li Changshou sighed softly for a while, took the initiative to go out, stood outside the alchemy room, and closed all the doors. Formation, quietly waiting for Qin Xuanya to fly over.
Youqin Xuanya, who was going directly to the chess and card room, noticed Li Changshou's figure. The white clouds under his feet immediately turned around and fell straight towards the alchemy room...
When she jumped down from the cloud, her skirt flew slightly, and her feet were white and flawless, which was quite eye-catching.
"Senior Brother Changshou."
Xuan Ya saluted with clasped fists, her thin lips slightly pursed, a faint smile on her lips, her eyes clearer than the starry night sky, telling Peace and joy in my heart.
"Junior Sister Qin," Li Changshou returned the gift and said with a smile, "Have you had any problems with your practice recently?"
Youqin Xuanya hummed softly and nodded seriously, her face a little ashamed...
Ashamed...ashamed?
"I disappoint my senior brother," Youqin Xuanya's pretty face was full of sadness, "When I was practicing, I was almost taken advantage of by the inner demon. Although the Taoist heart was now stable, it was so real. ..."
Li Changshou smiled and said: "It's just inner demons. Most Qi practitioners of our generation have to go through it, so there is no need to worry about it.
On the contrary, junior sister, you should reflect on it. Why is there a gap in the Taoist heart, so as to avoid being taken advantage of by the inner demon?"
"Xuanya has remembered everything that Senior Brother Changshou said."
Youqin Xuanya looked up. Looking at Li Changshou, he whispered: "Can you walk with me on the mountain? I have a few doubts, which are also related to the gaps in the Taoist heart. I would like to ask my senior brother."
Li Changshou:...
Should she want to share her inner demon experience with herself?
That’s true.
Li Changshou and Youqin Xuanya were walking casually in the mountains and forests outside the alchemy room, and heard Youqin Xuanya talk about the general situation of the inner demon.
Even, unwilling to lie, she endured her shyness and told how she practiced happily with the 'Senior Brother Changshou' who had transformed from her inner demon.
Very plain.
"Senior Brother Changshou," Youqin Xuanya turned to look at Li Changshou's profile and asked softly, "Xuanya has something unknown.
The inner demon once had some feelings for Xuanya. The rude behavior, specifically, the inner demon moved forward..."
"No need to be specific about this!"
Li Changshou interrupted Youqin Xuanya's story and smiled. Said: "I probably understand the problem.
The dual cultivation life that junior sisters yearn for is to practice together, talk together, wander the clouds and wild cranes, play the harp and play the flute, and walk the road to immortality together.
This is actually It is something that many Qi practitioners think about as a Taoist companion. It is quiet and elegant, which is very good."
Youqin Xuanya blinked and said in a low voice: "Senior brother, Xuanya didn't want to ask this... ..."
Li Changshou smiled and said: "What is that?"
"Hmm..."
Youqin Xuanya thought for a moment and clicked her white teeth lightly. With thin lips and gleaming eyes under her eyebrows, she whispered softly with the gentle breeze blowing from the forest: "I just asked the master, and the master said that the inner demons are actually Xuanya's persistence.
Xuanya also asked about this, but she was still a little confused, so she came to find an answer from her senior brother."
"Well," Li Changshou said seriously, "Junior sister, tell me. That is, if I can give you this answer, I will give it to you."
"Then...well..."
Youqin Xuanya hummed softly, lowering her hands. In front of you, your fingers are intertwined.
There is a deer jumping lightly in my heart, and I can only count the words after a while.
Li Changshou waited patiently, and finally heard what Youqin Xuanya said:
"Senior Brother Changshou...Xuanya may...have some differences towards you that are different from those of a monastic partner." "Thinking about..."
Li Changshou couldn't help butPut your hand on your forehead.
Could it be that she regarded the demon's behavior of extending the 'An Lushan Claw' as her inner obsession?
This is reasonable, but it is just, well, it is just a drastic measure taken by Li Changshou to scare her.
And in the inner demon world, he was really just showing up, without any behavior beyond the bottom line!
What to do...
Just like coaxing a child, tell her that it is wrong and impure to think this way, and make her blame herself and feel guilty?
This is a bit unethical.
Li Changshou considered his words, raised his head with his hands behind his hands, and looked at the white clouds in the sky through the gaps in the forest.
He said warmly:
"Junior sister, before you and I practice cultivation, we are all mortals.
Mortals are weak and need to reproduce offspring to maintain the stability of the ethnic group. Let your bloodline extend.
So, there are some things written in your bloodline, including the reproduction of the human race.
The thoughts that appear in your heart. , in fact, it is normal. If the Golden Immortal is not ruthless, how can he have no desires? Therefore, you don’t have to feel ashamed about this and feel that you are not pure enough.
Desire, emotion, heart, etc. are all part of yourself. , learning to control, face, and overcome is also a way of practice."
Youqin Xuanya listened in rapt attention, thought about it carefully, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
The knot in my heart has indeed been lifted.
Li Changshou smiled and said: "Besides, junior sister, your thoughts are indeed very simple.
For example, do you know how a mortal couple can have children in specific ways?"
Youqin Xuanya immediately replied:
"Xuanya has read it in a book. It is said that the intersection of yin and yang can give birth to a living being.
Probably, the two of them were sitting facing each other, with their palms touching each other, each using their magic power to guide the yin and yang energy, condensing the spiritual energy into the woman's belly."
Li Changshou's forehead. Several questions couldn't help but pop up, "Who taught you this? This is a wrong interpretation."
Youqin Xuanya blinked in confusion, bowed to Li Changshou, and said seriously:
"Please teach me, Senior Brother Changshou!"
"I'll teach you!"
Li Changshou couldn't help but blush, and said quickly: "You can't help me with this matter." You should ask your master, or ask Ling'e, the wine master, and the others.
There are differences between men and women. This cannot be taught easily."
You Qin Xuanya. He couldn't help but become more confused, but Li Changshou took the initiative to change the topic and started talking about the 'graduation destination' of his disciples at the same time.
Youqin Xuanya is the current chief disciple of the Duxian Sect. Naturally, she also paid attention to this matter, and was easily distracted by Li Changshou.
Half an hour later, with doubts in her heart, she turned back to Breaking Heaven Peak.
Li Changshou wiped the hot sweat from his forehead and sighed silently in his heart, wondering whether he should write a memorial to His Majesty the Jade Emperor, specificallyEngage in enlightenment education?
It should have a lot of merit...probably.
"Put your palms together, sit cross-legged, tsk, thank you for being able to think of it."
Li Changshou shook his head and returned to the alchemy room with a floating figure.
Then again, when the Taoist ancestors established the Heavenly Court and the saints determined the major events of heaven and earth, the sage Nuwa used the innate red hydrangea to determine the major events of marriage and establish three marriages between heaven and earth.
Celestial marriage refers to the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother. These brothers and sisters set an example and became a model for marriage in the three realms. However, because the heaven is relatively weak, it does not have much influence. The marriage template is written Entered heaven.
Since then, each ethnic group has established the etiquette of marriage.
Unlike the ancient times when the witch and human tribes mainly relied on tribal gatherings to find partners, the custom at that time was that women would launch a surprise attack and attack any man they liked, knocking him unconscious and carrying him back to his tent.
When Li Changshou saw this custom in ancient books, he couldn't help but have some associations.
If there was a handsome guy from any tribe who caused women to rob him, wouldn't his head be smashed with stick after stick?
Oh, what a prehistoric time...
Not only women, but men must also protect themselves.
......
Sending Youqin Xuanya away, Li Changshou waited for another half a day.
When the sun sets in the west and the lunar star is about to appear above the sea of clouds, Duke Dongmu comes on the clouds with a group of heavenly soldiers.
After seeing Li Changshou, Dongmu Gong said a few words and took out two treasure bags.
“A total of three hundred flat peaches of the best quality,” Dongmu Gong said with a smile, “one hundred each from the Chan and Jie sects, and one hundred peaches from the Ren Jiao.
This matter was decided by the Queen Mother."
After speaking, Li Changshou blinked slightly and immediately understood the meaning.
Who is there in the People’s Teaching?
In addition to the sage, isn’t it just him and the master?
These hundred flat peaches are definitely given to Li Changshou!
Li Changshou felt deep in his heart, but on the surface he was very calm. He put away the peaches and said, "Does Mr. Mu have any other instructions? I will go to Jin'ao Island early tomorrow morning."
“Here,” Duke Dongmu turned his head and looked at the gate of Poseidon Mansion, and whispered, “there is a small question, which can be regarded as entrusted by the Queen Mother.
Poseidon, do you lack apprentices?< /p>
It is not a disciple who practices and preaches, but a disciple who is strategic and wise. It has nothing to do with the inheritance of human teaching.
If you are short of disciples, just ask me and I will send them to you right away. "
Li Changshou couldn't help but frown slightly and said in a low voice: "Who can the Queen Mother entrust?"
Dongmu Gong said: "It is your highness, your majesty's heart. Meat is the jewel in the queen's palm, but she has never publicized it to the outside world..."
Li Changshou pondered for a few times, "What does your majesty mean by this matter?"
"This matter is your majesty's. It was brought up."
"That's okay,"Li Changshou smiled and said, "Your Majesty has an order, how can I disrespect it?
Where is His Highness? I will go and pay my respects right now."
"It's just outside, "Dongmu Gong turned around and said hello to the door, "Your Highness Longji, come in, Poseidon agrees!"
