The night is dark and windy, high on the small Qiongfeng Peak, with incense and shadows floating in the forest.
Ling'e, who had just received a message from her senior brother, put on a Taoist robe and hurried out of the thatched hut. Holding the Jade Formation Opening Talisman, she rushed all the way to the alchemy room.
But as soon as she arrived in front of the alchemy room, Ling'e heard a suppressed sound...
Cocked?
She panicked, jumped out of the night in the forest, landed in front of the brightly lit alchemy room, and saw... lying on her back on the rocking chair, with tears streaming down her face. Senior brother!
Click!
A flash of lightning seemed to appear behind Ling'e, and she dodged backwards, staring in shock.
Oh my god, why did it suddenly collapse!
"Senior brother, what's wrong with you?"
Ling'e started crying and knelt directly in front of the rocking chair. She held Li Changshou's big hand with her small hand and shouted:
< p>"If you have anything to say, tell me, no matter what happens, we can bear it together!Is it the master? Is the master hopeless?
Senior brother, is it because of your cultivation? What went wrong?
If your immortality is destroyed, I will accompany you to reincarnate or something!"
"Ling'e...it's okay..."< /p>
Li Changshou answered in a trembling voice, his Adam's apple trembling up and down, exuding a deep sense of sadness.
Ling'e's eyelids drooped and her tears fell like broken pearls. She put the back of her senior brother's hand beside her cheek and sobbed in a low voice:
"Senior brother, don't scare me, you If it's gone now, what will I do?
I can't even be considered a widow now, I can only guard your grave...
Ouch! Hit me!"
"What are you shouting for?"
Li Changshou cursed angrily, took back the finger that flicked her forehead, and wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes. She sighed again and murmured:
"This stamina is too much."
Ling'e covered her forehead and puffed up the corners of her mouth, looking at it faintly. Looking at his senior brother, he said depressedly: "Senior brother, I haven't seen you cry in so many years. Are you worried?"
"Brother, this is not crying," Li Changshou sighed, "it's just to vent the backlog of Taoism." It’s just emotions.”
Ling’e was confused.
Li Changshou shook his head and stared at the gloomy night, trying to calm down the sadness in his heart as much as possible.
He had just returned to the mountain for an hour, and he had been crying here for an hour.
Half a day ago, when he left the underworld, Li Changshou declined Uncle Zhao's dinner invitation on the grounds that he was going to the Poseidon Sect and Heaven to deal with follow-up matters.
The Xuanhuang Pagoda was deliberately taken back by the master. The master also specifically asked Fairy Yunxiao to send Li Changshou back to the mountain gate...
A good senior brother as always.
Li Changshou was a rare strong man and took the initiative to send Fairy Yunxiao back to Sanxian Island. He drank a cup of tea on Sanxian Island and chatted for a few words before embarking on the return journey alone.
On the way back, because there was no tower master to protect him, Li Changshou could not help but feel a sense of "lack of security"...
The way back which could have taken half an hour, he had to Around half of China!
After returning to Xiaoqiong Peak and lying back on the comfortable rocking chair, Li Changshou sighed softly, and wisps of dark blue Taoist rhyme floated around him, and a sense of sadness came from all over his body. came out.
Thinking of the beauty of heaven and earth, I cry with sadness.
Everything has its end, so why stay lonely.
It is not that Li Changshou was not affected by Xiao Ai before, he just accumulated these sorrows and created a sense of unpredictability to the outside world.
Ahem, it’s not because of being in front of Fairy Yunxiao!
This kind of pure sadness and pure appeal cannot be resisted by a pure heart...
Ling'e moved a futon and sat next to Li Changshou , asked in a low voice with his most serious gentleness:
"Senior brother, what happened?"
"It's nothing serious," Li Changshou said calmly, "I'm just helping the rear. When Tu Niangniang suppressed the incarnation of the Seven Emotions, she was affected by the Tao Yun transformed by the Seven Emotions of all living beings, so she just had to vent her emotions."
Ling'e blinked, as if she heard something from her senior brother. It seems like something very important...
Li Changshou said: "Do you know why I called you here?"
"I know," Ling'e sighed softly and put on her expression With a lifeless face, he turned his head and looked to the side, "If rewarding me for copying scriptures can make senior brother happy, I...will..."
"No need this time, play it for me. Let's play some cheerful music to calm down the mood."
"Hehe, did you tell me earlier? It's coming!"
Ling'e immediately moved back and released. The two paper figures picked up drums and flutes, and they also took out a guqin and played cheerful tunes.
Li Changshou smiled and closed his eyes again. When the tide of sadness gradually subsided, his mind became busy again.
The smooth resolution of the calamity of Houtu’s Seven Emotions cannot be separated from the cooperation of Heavenly Court, Dragon Palace, and the Three Immortal Sects.
Li Changshou’s paper messengers went on the road again and went to the Dragon Palace to thank the Dragon King and talk about the progress of the matter; they also found Dongmu Gong in the heaven and discussed how to send people to the underworld to express condolences.
At Dongmu Public Office, Li Changshou received some unexpected news.
When the mind power of all sentient beings was gathered before, a force of mind power was also gathered in the three thousand worlds and rushed to the underworld, injecting it into the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk, which added a lot of help.
The source of this power of sentient beings...
It is the large number of Incense God Sect controlled by the Western Sect in the Three Thousand Worlds!
The West takes action for justice?
Li Changshou thought carefully and understood that the purpose of Western religion is nothing more than three -
First, to give favors to the underworld to facilitate future actions in the nether world;
No.Second, helping the Six Paths of Reincarnation at the same time as the Dao Sect is considered to be doing things for the way of heaven. Although it does not gain merit, it can save some luck;
Third, occupy the word "morality".
[Morality], in this cruel living environment of prehistoric times, seems to be just a joke.
This was indeed the case when the Tao ancestors were not in harmony with the Tao and the Six Saints were not born. In ancient times, it was purely about whoever had the bigger fist had the right. The so-called morality was just a fig leaf for brutality.
But after the Dao Ancestors united and the Six Saints came together, the prehistoric sky was set, and background and footwork began to become more important than strength.
The existence of the Six Saints established the basic order of the ancient world;
The existence of the Way of Heaven makes the two words of morality and justice even more important.
The purpose of the Western Sect's help this time is to occupy the word "morality", to "justify" itself, to show the responsibility of the great sect, and to continue to compete at the same level as the Taoist sect.
Probably - [Our Western religion is not the villain of the ancient times, it is in a competitive relationship with Taoism, and each has its own position].
Did the saint order this matter, or did Ksitigarbha or other disciples of the saint take the initiative to mention it?
Li Changshou thought for a while. Naturally, there was no answer to this question, so he smiled and stopped thinking about it.
Well, let’s think about how to help the underworld in the future and earn more merit by the way.
This time to help Queen Tu, Heaven sent down a massive amount of merits and distributed them to the nine immortals of the Taoist sect; and Li Changshou was the most influential and important key figure among them, so he naturally received the most merits.
But just as the master reminded him before...
The merits of this incident will be distributed to the Taoist masters who came to help, and Li Changshou's own income will naturally be reduced.
There is nothing we can do about it. It involves the great virtue of the country, so Li Changshou naturally wants everything to be stable.
The Golden Body of Merit and Virtue is almost 90% complete at this moment!
But 90% of it is still ‘material’.
Simple merit does not have much effect other than offsetting karma. Only a complete merit body can produce the effect of 'Heavenly Protection'.
Of course, Li Changshou's thinking on this matter has never changed -
He wants the merit body, not to rely on the merit body to save his life.
With the protection of the merit gold body, in ordinary dangerous situations that do not involve saints, the safety factor can be increased by at least 30%;
In dangerous situations involving saints, he can also rely on the merit gold body to protect him. Body, let the saint... hesitate for a moment.
This is a glimmer of hope!
Li Changshou has already prepared the method of cultivating the golden body with merit, and has also considered the idea of magic reform, but he has never been able to find a suitable idea.
At this time, the missing part of my meritorious body is a calf and a foot.
Then, can you get a small 'leg'?
Golden body of merit and broken legs?
"Hahaha!"
Li Changshou was filled with confusion.Seeing such a scene, I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
As soon as the sound of Ling'e's piano stopped, she said happily: "Brother, are you okay?"
"Ah, Tao is fine," Li Changshou stretched his arms and looked at Ling'e, who was in front of her, couldn't help but fall into thinking again.
Ling'e's face turned red and she asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
"Ling'e, how long have you been practicing till now?"
< p>How long have you been practicing?Could it be that senior brother... is going to attack me?
The family flower is finally coming forward and bearing fruit, can the relationship between senior brothers and sisters be further broken through?
Boom!
Ling'e's heartbeat suddenly amplified, her pretty face turned red, and she hesitated to say a complete sentence. She directly jumped over the girl's reserve and uneasiness, and said the words she had prepared for many years, as fine as a mosquito. He said it loudly:
"I, I...I'm ready, okay..."
"Oh?"
Li Changshou His eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "You can actually guess what I am thinking. After your cultivation level is high, your spiritual wisdom will also gradually grow.
Then it is decided to go down the mountain to travel in twelve years. .
It’s time for you to face this chaos.”
“Eh?”
Ling’e was startled, and Li Changshou chuckled. With a sound, the figure turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared into the alchemy room.
......
Where can we fill up the insufficient merit?
Although demon elimination is a relatively stable option, the sudden pressure on the demon clan is too great, and it is easy for the demon clan to rebound violently.
It is still necessary to use Lu Ya Dao as the core point of his calculations, and use Lu Ya Dao's identity as the prince of the demon court to attract more karmic demons to appear.
The most ideal plan is to let the demon clan take the initiative to put pressure on the Heavenly Court and hold high the banner to rebel against the Heavenly Court. Then it would be logical and reasonable for them to harvest the merits themselves.
The current strength and foundation of the Monster Clan is far inferior to that of the entire human race;
But compared to the Heavenly Clan that had just started, it should not be underestimated.
Li Changshou counted in detail the matters he needed to deal with in the next few decades.
Tianting recruits troops, completes the reincarnation process plan, targets Lu Ya, secretly protects the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, and lets junior sisters understand the dangers of the world...
In principle, he still will not take the initiative Calculate these things.
The timetable for the Great Tribulation of the Gods has appeared in Nanzhou, and it is guarded by Sister Kong Xuan and, ahem, fellow Taoist Kong Xuan;
Li Changshou only needs to take his time, Prepare for follow-up at your own pace, without having to rush.
Superiority and anxiety are the biggest enemies of a stable person!
Next, let’s talk to Junior Sister Youqin to see where her cultivation has been. Before she goes to heaven, try to raise her cultivation level to the heavenly realm as much as possible.
Hmm... we also need to arrange a scene for Youqin to 'formally intersect' with the Heavenly Water God., thus giving her a strong enough foothold and background.
After all, she is a fellow junior sister who went to heaven to help her, so naturally she cannot treat her badly.
"Senior...Senior, are you there, senior?"
"Huh?"
Li Changshou raised his eyebrows, and most of his attention fell on the Nanfang Department. The paper Taoist hiding on the border between Dongsheng Continent and Dongsheng Continent, with his celestial consciousness spreading, stared at the cave of the Black Panther couple.
The water demon Miaomiao was pacing back and forth in front of the cave, holding in her hand the jade messenger that Li Changshou had given her before.
What's going on?
Li Changshou’s paper Taoist stood up, checked his appearance, and made sure that he looked like the Taoist priest he had been showing off to the Black Panther couple, and then he rushed off in the clouds.
The Immortal Sense captured the Black Panther lying on a stone table in the cave, soundly asleep, with two jars of Immortal Brew placed around him. He was obviously drunk by his wife.
This situation, this picture...
If Black Panther saw this, he would definitely think that he, the 'Old Master Lu Ya', had something to do with the water demon Miaomiao!
Arrived in front of the cave, Li Changshou asked with a straight face:
"Why did you rush to find a poor man? And why did you get your husband drunk?"
The water demon bowed his head and saluted, and hurriedly replied:
“In the past few days, my husband has been thinking about Jie Jiao Xian and Jie Jiao Xian, and he also said that he would go to Jin’ao Island for a trip.
I asked him what was wrong, and he said that he had been missing his old friends on Jin'ao Island recently and wanted to visit them.
Jin'ao Island is a Jiejiao monastery where many experts gather, and we are just two children. Yao Er, how dare you go there to visit? If this offends any master, wouldn't it be a fatal disaster?
Senior, can you give me some advice?"
"It doesn't matter," Li Changshou thought a little in his heart and frowned: "If he wants to go there, he can just go."
The water demon frowned and asked in a low voice: "Is this okay?"
"It's okay," Li Changshou showed a little impatience, "You and he are husband and wife, and this matter should be discussed between the two of you. Pindao did not lock you here.
p>Pindao just thinks that the mouth of Brother Black Panther is an extremely important skill for us monsters, so I pay a lot of attention to you
The immortals on Jin'ao Island are sensible. , and you’re nice to talk about. If what your husband said didn’t lie to you, then you might get some benefits on Jin’ao Island.
Don’t feel inferior because of your demon clan origins, although our demon clan can’t do that now. , but it was also glorious in ancient times."
The water demon couldn't help but feel uneasy, and whispered: "If he goes, I won't go there anyway..."
"This. This is your husband and wife's business," Li Changshou waved his hand, "I have important matters, so I won't stay with you for such a trivial matter, huh."
After saying this, Li Changshou left in the clouds. The water demon was hesitant to speak, but could only bow and bow to see him off.
Sighing a few times, the water demon turned around and returned to the cave, carried the black panther to the bed, and openedThe formation to protect the cave was activated.
Black Panther is going to Jin'ao Island to visit friends?
What kind of chain reaction will this have on the Great Tribulation of the Gods?
Li Changshou pondered for a few times and had a vague premonition in his heart. He felt that if the black panther moved, it would surely stir up the chaos of the ancient world.
On the contrary, we can take the opportunity to cause a wave of pressure...
Li Changshou continued to expand his thoughts and gradually narrowed his eyes with a smile.
......
Three days later, the Black Panther really set off from the cave, hiding all the way to the East China Sea, and headed towards Jin'ao Island on the edge of the East China Sea.
As soon as the Black Panther set out, the Heavenly Court issued a demon call to Wubuzhou to hunt down the remnant of the ancient Demon Court, Taoist Lu Ya.
The reason is also written in the appeal, saying that Taoist Lu Ya has mastered a magic weapon that threatens the balance of heaven and earth, and Lu Ya needs to be "captured and returned to heaven" as soon as possible...
This appeal is one After hearing this, the human race immortal sects in Zhongshenzhou had very few responses and almost ignored it.
——Although Heavenly Court has begun to gain momentum, its influence and appeal are still lacking, and there is no Yazi who is the master of the three realms.
But when the demon clan heard about this, they first cursed at Heaven, and then directly grasped the key point.
Taoist Lu Ya, a treasure that threatens the balance of heaven and earth!
Is this okay?
Many masters of the Monster Clan instantly felt pressure rise in their skulls, and the monsters in the Monster Clan’s territories on the borders of various continents rejoiced. Ancient monsters that had just settled down for a short time came out of the mountains one after another, waiting for His Highness the Crown Prince to raise his arms!
When the person involved got the news later, the whole crow was... confused.
