In the Duxian Palace, Ji Wuyou looked at the sacred beast standing with its head held high, lowered his head again, and read the jade talisman in his hand for the fourth time.
Come on, come on!
The master ordered it personally!
This seemingly ordinary jade talisman has such a profound Taoist charm remaining on it, making its material sublimated to some extent!
Ji Wuyou shouted:
"Quick! Go and arrange a circle for Senior Bai Ze!"
Several elders in the hall, standing aside Li Changshou and Xiao Ling'e both became quiet at this moment.
Bai Ze’s elegant face almost turned into a donkey face.
"Master," an elder on the side quickly reminded, "arrange a place to live!"
"Ahem, cough! Yes! Arrange a place for Senior Bai Ze !"
Ji Wuyou quickly bowed his hands and said, "Senior, don't blame me. I was so excited that I couldn't help myself. After all, it was the master who gave the order himself."
The auspicious beast frowned and looked at Li Changshou, but the words Li Changshou said when he came echoed in his heart.
[Don’t say too much, don’t ask too many questions, just nod. 】
Bai Ze nodded slowly, his beautiful figure flashing with colorful light, making all the elders look in a daze.
Li Changshou said from the side: "Master, Senior Bai Ze likes to be secluded, why not find a hilltop near our Xiaoqiong Peak as a place for Senior Bai Ze to settle down.
Please also give orders from the leader not to disturb the senior’s retreat.”
“Good,” Ji Wuyou agreed immediately.
Bai Ze's eyes moved back and forth between Ji Wuyou and Li Changshou, and the corner of his mouth curled up, not wanting to tell the truth.
The whole process of settling Baize was generally smooth.
Except for senior brother and sister Li Changshou in the Duxian Sect, the only ones who know where Bai Ze is coming from are Ji Wuyou and a few elders;
Bai Ze wants to hide his figure from being Duxian When the disciples saw it, it was not difficult.
Ji Wuyou first used immortal power to form a barrier, wrapping the empty hilltop next to Xiao Qiong Peak, and asked Bai Ze to choose a location for his residence.
Hearing Li Changshou's voice again, Ji Wuyou took advantage of the situation and issued an order from the head, making Li Changshou fully responsible for supervising the construction of Bai Ze's cave and the various formations of this 'Black Pond Peak'. One application is provided by Baifandian.
The name Blackpool is just a deception.
After the leader and the elders left Black Pool Peak, Li Changshou whispered a few words to Ling'e, and Ling'e turned around and flew back to Xiaoqiong Peak, leaving Li Changshou and Bai Ze alone...
p>
Bai Ze, who was lying next to a pool of water with a lifeless face, could not help but sigh quietly.
Li Changshou thought for a moment and sighed in his heart.
In the end, I still couldn’t kill him.
Previously in the cave of Du'e Zhenzhen, he sang harmony with the master, and the content of teasing and persecuting Bai Ze was actually only 70%;
The remaining 30% was between Li Changshou and Li Changshou. **Between teachers, meaningThere were differences of opinion...
Li Changshou could clearly feel that the Master had a universal sense of justice.
Master ** doesn’t like cause and effect. Because he has a high level of Taoism and has lived for a long time, he has seen too many joys and sorrows and misery of living beings. Therefore, he usually behaves indifferently to the life and death of living beings. .
But the master is by no means a cold-hearted person.
Just like today, the master feels that Bai Ze is not guilty of a serious crime and does not need to be killed directly;
Furthermore, Bai Ze intends to seek refuge with him. Human education was considered appropriate, so he kept teasing and urging Li Changshou to let Bai Ze go.
The Master can naturally think this way. After all, the Master can have nothing to fear except the Saint...
But Li Changshou cannot.
Already in the center of the whirlpool, Li Changshou never wanted to have such a huge hidden danger left behind!
Especially, after learning that Bai Ze had been secretly observing him for so long, Li Changshou felt that most of his trump cards might have been spied on by Bai Ze!
Buyang is really worried.
However, Li Changshou and the master did not argue. There were differences of opinion. The master and Li Changshou each took a step back and gradually reached a consensus in the process of running against Baize.
Subsequently, the two brothers took action at the same time and used their own confident methods to control Bai Ze...
In this process, Bai Ze seemed to be an innocent victim, but in fact Bai Ze's original intention has been achieved -
Designed to the Human Religion.
The biggest blow that Bai Ze suffered at this time was not that he was controlled by the assassin and Li Changshou, nor was it that Li Changshou easily broke through and found his hiding place.
It was he who misjudged the ambition of the Water God from the very beginning...
How come the promised generation of wise kings and overlords ended up with no intention of hegemony over the world, and only wanted to be free from trouble?
What about the pattern?
What about the overall situation?
No, what are the conditions of the Water God!
The strongest saint stands behind him, and he stands in the general trend of heaven. His calculations are astonishing, and his cultivation speed is terrifying. He even uses the method of heavenly punishment every now and then to have an intimate encounter with heaven. interactive!
Isn’t this a joke on Bai Ze if he doesn’t make a name for himself under such conditions but pursues quietness and inaction?
To be honest, Bai Ze has only seen the Water God among those who have been punished by God so many times and still survived.
Bai Ze naturally knew that this was because the Water God behaved in a measured manner. Even if he offended the person in the Zixiao Palace, he only punished the Water God slightly, and there was always a feeling that the master would look at his disciple and gnash his teeth. Hate its indisputable taste...
What is this?
Isn’t it obvious that the Water God is one of the two emperors destined by heaven?
So, when Lu Ya came looking for him, Bai Ze saw that he couldn't get rid of the demon clan's cause and effect, so he simply took half a step forward.
His strategy for Lu Ya was to advance before retreating. Why?Could it be that he is trying to advance before retreating?
But...
If you see it correctly, your mind will be determined, if you stumble, it will all be gone.
Bai Ze successfully arrived at the side of the Water God and became a hard-working man pulling a cart in the Human Sect. From now on, he will probably be seen dying next to the Water God himself. Let alone planning the great fortune of the world, he will really be able to do it in the future. Spend the rest of your life with peace of mind and sleep with the world...
Thinking of this, Bai Ze sighed quietly and slowly closed his eyes.
Who can you blame for the path you chose?
Li Changshou seemed to be able to see through Bai Ze's thoughts and said with a smile:
"Senior, don't get lost. The human religion adheres to tranquility and inaction, and my senior brother and I will not force senior to do anything." What to do.
Senior has done us a great favor by not siding with the demon clan. ”
Li Changshou’s thinking changed very quickly.
【Since I can’t promote Bai Ze, I can only increase my favorability! 】
Bai Ze frowned and said: "There is no one else here. I want to ask my friend again, can you tell me sincerely?"
You take it seriously and have no rights in your heart. Desire?"
Li Changshou said with a smile: "If my inference is correct, senior cannot explore where the power of Heaven's Dao is stronger."
"Yes, I need to avoid Heaven's Dao."
"No wonder the seniors have such misunderstandings," Li Changshou shook his head slightly, raised his hand a little, placed two futons and a low table next to the pool, and made a gesture of invitation.
Li Changshou said: "Actually, senior has ignored the simplest truth. If I tell you, senior will be able to understand the cause and effect."
"What kind of truth?"
"If I weren't of this temperament, if I hadn't pursued peace and quiet, how could the saint of our human religion choose me?"
Bai Ze was startled, then became speechless, and then buried his head. In his front paws, he sighed: "I am smart, I am smart!"
Li Changshou shook his head with a smile, leaving Bai Ze alone in depression for a while, and then said:
"Senior From now on, you only need to maintain your true appearance in front of outsiders, and when you and I meet in private, you can do whatever you want."
Bai Ze slowly raised his head, feeling much more relaxed than before, obviously because he discovered his own. A fatal mistake, so he temporarily accepted his current identity in his heart...
People teach the coachman.
Bai Ze returned to the figure of a middle-aged Taoist, with a teardrop-shaped red mark on his forehead, and a strand of long hair in front of his forehead turned silver, adding a bit of enchantment to him. feeling.
Bai Ze was wearing a loose white robe at the moment, sitting across from the low table, and said with a wry smile: "What is the poor man trying to do?"
"More stability, less There are some bumps, but the cause and effect is over."
Li Changshou paused and said with a smile: "Of course, there are also more shackles.
But..."
"What?" Bai Ze asked with a wry smile.
"The causes and consequences of this matter are not also proof of the destiny of the predecessors to seek good luck and avoid disasters."? "
Li Changshou cupped his hands and chuckled a few times, "It's really enviable! "
Bai Ze was a little dumbfounded. He wanted to complain about something, but he didn't know how to say it. He was in a daze facing the pool again.
After a while, Bai Ze slowly let out a breath. , his smile was a little more free and easy.
Bai Ze had a distant look in his eyes, and said slowly:
"After ancient times, Pindao thought that this life would be empty and empty. , I have to search for a long time, and finally find a deserted place, sleep peacefully, and live with the world.
I also met you before and saw the current heaven. I couldn’t help but think of the difficulties of assisting the late emperor to create the ancient heaven and the difficulties of the powerful saint clan. I wish to regenerate my Taoist heart.
I never thought that I was wrongly paying my attention after all. "
Li Changshou smiled and said: "What interest do I have in controlling the lives of countless living beings?
Bai Ze said: "Wouldn't it be great to stand on the top of all living beings and watch the rise and fall of the world?" ”
“All living beings are not this shallow green grass, let alone this swimming fish with undeveloped spiritual wisdom;
They each have their own thoughts, desires, needs, confusions, and Le, they were born to take a journey between heaven and earth, not to pay homage to the figure at the top of all living beings.
The desire for power is no more than one’s own desire, so why use words like heroic, extraordinary, king, and supreme to beautify it?
After all, they are just stronger creatures enslaving weaker creatures to obtain physical and mental satisfaction. "
Li Changshou took out a pot of wine and two jade bottles from his sleeve, and poured a glass of wine for Bai Ze.
"Senior, you should know what I am talking about, senior Being able to be semi-hidden when the demon clan was at its peak should not be difficult to understand. "
Bai Ze looked at the wine in the glass, shook his head with a chuckle, and sighed:
"It is indeed the smoke of the past.
I never imagined that my Taoist friend, who had only been practicing Taoism for a few hundred years, could already understand this truth that I only figured out when the Demon Court was destroyed.
The desire for power is no more than one's own desire. All living beings are born in the world just to go through a journey between heaven and earth.
It is not unreasonable to lose to you..."
Li Changshou smiled, his eyes full of sincerity, and said: "It is pure luck that I can win against my senior, who is also my junior sister. It's just a blessing. "
"Then," Bai Ze held the wine glass and gently slid a little of it to his mouth, with a slight smile on his gentle and handsome face, "Do you dare to say that you have no desire for power? "
"Relatively speaking, it should be lower," Li Changshou said with a smile, "I am not interested in ruling others. In comparison, I prefer purity.
On the contrary, it is the seniors who take it as their own interest to assist the Ming Lord.
Could it be that he is also driven by the desire for power, but he lacks the courage to bear the cause and effect of all living beings, so he wants to gain his own sense of fulfillment and existence by assisting a living being to reach the top of all living beings? ”
Bai Ze was startled, savoring Li Changshou’s words carefully, and nodded slowly.
p>"Pindao is indeed happy with this, but it's not because he doesn't have the courage to shoulder the cause and effect of all living beings, but because he feels that Pindao is not that material.
If he can help Mingzhu ascend for the second time In that position, if I succeed and retire, I will leave my name as Bai Ze in the world...
Seriously!
Oh, that’s all I can think about now, hahahaha!”
Bai Ze laughed twice, his laughter full of regret, and drank the wine in the glass. When he raised his head, there was still a little light shining in his eyes.
Li Changshou smiled and said: "Senior, are you willing to serve for today's court?"
"No," Bai Ze shook his head slowly, "but today's court has fellow Taoists, poor Taoists." There is no place to stand."
"There is day and night, and there are yin and yang...
That's not the time to talk about this."
Li Changshou suddenly said. Interrupt your own words and deliberately leave a little space.
Ling'e just happened to fly from outside the mountain, carrying a tray in her hand, and brought a few side dishes...
After a while, Ling'e put the dishes down and said "Slow down" "Use" and wink at the senior brother and float away on the clouds.
Bai Ze became more energetic. He looked at the exquisite dishes in front of him and sniffed them gently. Without Li Changshou's greeting, he picked up his chopsticks, picked up a mouthful of white jade cabbage, and brought it to his mouth. Chew it carefully, and then praise:
"Although the taste is not beautiful, the color is not complete, and the fragrance is too strong, it is packed with the heart of the junior sister towards the senior brother. It is very valuable, very valuable, hahaha!"
Li Changshou smiled and said: "Senior, do you also like delicious food?"
"When a poor man lives in vain, his only pleasure is to make delicious food, taste it with others, and taste it alone. "Bai Ze turned around and looked around, "This place is simple. I'll wait until the poor Taoist builds a house before he can help his Taoist friends."
"Senior, wait a minute. Since he is an expert in this Taoism, I can't say. I'm going to show off my skills too."
After saying that, Li Changshou threw out two paper Taoist figures and quickly buried the pot and built the platform.
He personally went back to Xiaoqiong Peak, selected two precious and rare domestic spirit beasts, shot two fat spirit fish, and brought them back to Black Pond Peak.
Sometimes, having a common hobby is enough to bring us closer.
Bai Ze took the initiative to initiate a battle to compete with Li Changshou in cooking.
Li Changshou explained all the conditions before he nodded and agreed. The two acted as referees for each other, showing off their talents beside the barren mountains and pools.
Bai Ze has been immersed in cooking for many years, and his cooking skills are more than superior to Li Changshou in all aspects. Every dish is extremely exquisite.
But Li Changsheng has many tricks and has mastered new flavors rarely seen in history. In the end, he relied on a thin slice of fish fillet, freshly prepared horseradish, and the saying, "High-end ingredients often only require simple ingredients." Bai Ze was amazed by his cooking skills.
The two of them then exchanged glasses, became slightly drunk, and seemed to have completely lost their hostility to each other.
After all, Bai Ze was under the control of Li Changshou at this moment, and he did not dare to be too trusting, so he let Li ChangshouCall him by his first name and continue discussing cooking from now on.
Li Changshou thought for a while and gave Bai Ze the title of 'Mr.'
As a result, Bai Ze gradually lost himself in the "Sir" one after another, and actually felt a little more close to Li Changshou...
But today, Li Changshou did not I never thought about completely improving my favorability.
When they were chatting happily, Li Changshou gathered his thoughts and deliberately pierced a scar on Bai Ze...
"Mr. Bai, this time you and I compare, I Although winning is due to Junior Sister's luck, it is also related to Mr. Bai's self-imposed cocoon."
Bai Ze couldn't help but frown, "How can I do this?"
Li Changshou held the right hand with his left hand. With his sleeves, he poured the warm wine into Bai Ze's cup, as if he was talking about a casual trivial matter, and said with a smile:
"The momentum of the Tao is difficult to calm, and the number of heaven is difficult to determine. The souls are uneasy.
In the past, on the top of Buzhou Mountain, Mr. made a covenant with the demon gods, created a holy clan, gained the power of heaven, fought against the witch clan, fought for the world, assisted the demon emperor, and was appointed as the demon commander. , enjoying the admiration of the demon clan.
The Queen Demon Court gradually fell into decline. Mr. cherished his reputation and retreated bravely. Although he was separated from the cause and effect of the Lich War, he was not separated from the cause and effect of the demon clan. < /p>
This time Lu Ya asked his seniors for help, but his husband didn't care, so he gave Lu Ya a strategy to gather demons to conquer the sky, sacrifice the demon clan, and bring peace to heaven, Lu Ya and his husband himself.
< p>My husband had talked to me before about the difference between the Saints and the Monsters;My husband considers himself a noble Saint and dislikes the vicious Monsters, but he forgot. Saint clan and demon clan are just two names.
You are all from the same clan.
The gentleman should have stood for the demon clan, but he pushed the demon clan to the side without hesitation. On the verge of life and death, how can we win without going against our luck?"
Li Changshou sighed slightly, raised his glass, and continued: "Now that the protagonist of this world is a human race, sir? From an outsider's perspective, this is correct, and they will praise Mr. Bai for his generosity.
But Mr. Bai...
You have become a gardener and enjoy cultivating flowers. The joy of watching flowers bloom is to endure the loneliness of flowers withering and falling into mud. This is the way to gain and lose, and it is also the way to balance heaven and earth.
I am not asking Mr. Bai to assist the demon again. At this time, Mr. Bai is under my control, and I am also against the demon clan.
But I, Li Changshou, do not want to become the next demon clan or the next demon emperor in Mr. Bai’s eyes. p> Therefore, I did not seek Mr. Bai’s calculations, planning, or other skills. When the military commander wanted to save his life, I never let go of my murderous intention towards him.
Mr. is not worthy of admiration. The living beings are not talents that I cherish.
They do not come when they are famous, and they do not leave when they are at a low point. Only then can they be called famous people.
Sir, at this time, Not worthy yet."
After saying this, Li Changshou drank the wine in the cup.After that, he slowly stood up.
Bai Ze frowned tightly and stared blankly at the cups and plates on the low table in front of him. He didn't even know when Li Changshou left.
When Bai Ze came back to his senses, only Li Changshou's voice...
"I will come back to have a drink with Mr. Bai in three days. I hope Mr. Bai will be able to share what I said today." A little rebuttal.
After all, it’s hard to find a true friend.”
