The golden body of merit and virtue is only missing one foot.
In the northern part of Beizhou, the place where the heavenly monsters fought, Li Changshou stood quietly above the mountain of monster corpses, feeling the sorrow of the creatures flowing between heaven and earth.
There are still sporadic pursuit battles on the horizon, and the heavenly soldiers here have begun to rescue the wounded and collect the bodies of their own fallen soldiers.
The ghosts in the underworld completed their mission of blocking the monster ambush, and now they turned around and started doing their jobs, collecting all the souls that had not been destroyed in this place.
With a slight sigh, Li Changshou fell from the air and sat cross-legged in front of the corpses of several heavenly soldiers, chanting the Taoist Sutra of Saving People.
Wisps of light flew out from the corpses of these heavenly soldiers, condensing into a few shallow shadows. They bowed their hands to Li Changshou and flew towards the ghosts not far away.
Life and death are no small matters. Fighting makes flesh and blood coagulate.
Li Changshou kept chanting, and a water-blue flag appeared behind his back. The scattered demon souls of many demon clans were also condensed. They were chained by ghosts and pulled away. far away.
The chanting of sutras gradually became louder, and many heavenly soldiers and generals stopped everywhere to recite sutras.
Beyond Black Mountain, the witch tribes who were celebrating the harvest also fell silent, and the four great shaman priests softly recited ancient prayers.
Half an hour later, Li Changshou's body merged with Bai Ze, bowed his hands to Bai Ze, and one person and one beast left here on a cloud, and soon disappeared into the depths of the North Sea.
Li Changshou ‘left and came back’, and what came back was naturally an incarnation. He flew high into the sky on the clouds and bowed to the four maids of the Notre Dame Palace who had complicated expressions at the moment.
"Fairies, please be polite."
"Water God, please don't harm us."
The four fairies immediately bowed in return, the one in the middle The leader of the fox-eared fairy said softly:
"I often hear from the sisters in the palace that the Water God is strategizing and resourceful. Today I saw the Water God defeat the enemy's formation, and he was so brave."
"Excuse me, Fairy," Li Changshou sighed, "Today's battle is about the soldiers of heaven fighting bravely to kill the enemy. I am just arranging the troops, which is not enough.
I would like to thank a few more Fairy acted righteously and came to persuade the Demon Clan.
The war was going on, and all the lives were in ruins. Fortunately, this place is the wasteland of Beizhou, and the Witch Clan was well prepared, so not many lives were affected. ”
< p>The four fairies looked at each other, each with a smile on their face.A woman said: "Water God, you are really nice to talk about. The four of us sisters are actually from the ancient demon clan. We came here today with selfish motives, and we don't dare to be praised like this by Water God."
"After the battle here, we have to go back to the Palace of the Holy Mother," the leader of the fox girl said with a smile, "Does the Water God have anything that we need to bring back to the palace?"
Saint Empress urges me to finish the manuscript?
"I have been busy dealing with Beizhou affairs recently," Li Changshou said. "When the official affairs are properly handled, I will definitely find an opportunity to go to the Notre Dame Palace to pay homage to the empress."
"Shan. ”
The four fairies bowed and saluted, set up the cloud boat, and headed towards the sky while talking and laughing.
Li Changshou thought for a moment, and he felt an aura similar to that of Qingqiu Xiaolan in this fox fairy.
Could it be that this is the ancestor of the Qingqiu clan who serves the Holy Virgin in the Holy Lady’s Palace?
Looking at it, she is younger than Xiaolan, although her cultivation is indeed unpredictable.
Does the Saint Empress have any other deep meaning in sending these four maids?
Li Changshou stood in the air with his hands behind his hands, thinking carefully.
The sound of dragon roars came from afar. The dragons who were chasing the Hongmeng ferocious beasts returned and killed seven or eight ferocious beasts at the cost of dozens of blue dragons...< /p>
Several Dragon Clan elders stepped forward together, cupped their fists and saluted Li Changshou, and said in a low voice:
"Water God, the Dragon Palace general has completed his order to aid the Beizhou battle! Invite the Water God Continue to order!”
“What’s the loss?”
“Thank you to the Water God for caring about me,” a Dragon Clan elder sighed, “I hope the Water God will forgive me. I could have left more demons behind.” Master, but when we saw those enemies with sea-breaking eyes, we lost our minds a little bit..."
"This is reasonable. If not for Dragon Palace's rescue today, the Heavenly Court Headquarters would not have started a direct war with the demon clan. "
Li Changshou said slowly: "The soul of the dragon that died in the battle today can be cultivated in the Heavenly Court's Merit Pool for ten years, and then reincarnated and then enter the Four Seas Dragon Palace;
Those whose dragon souls cannot be reunited should erect monuments to commemorate them, and those who are injured also need to take good care of themselves."
"Thank you, Water God, for your consideration!"
"Everyone will talk to Mu Gong later. Report this matter and then leave."
Li Changshou warned, and the four elders of the Dragon Clan expressed their kindness and waited in the air with many Dragon Clan masters.
In this battle, the Heavenly Court lost more than 30,000 soldiers and dozens of Heavenly generals. The Wu clan lost 1,200 people and more than half were seriously injured.
As the so-called trapped beasts fight to the death, the masters of the demon clan who failed to escape smoothly ended up fighting wildly, causing great damage to the heaven.
In a head-on battle, the heavenly soldiers had a good balance of offense and defense, fully utilizing the 'beauty of distance', leaving the demon soldiers with almost no backhand power.
The large gap in high-end combat power in Heaven really gave Li Changshou a headache. < /p>
Li Changshou's true body had already disappeared from the horizon with Bai Ze, making a long circle in the wilderness before rushing back to hide in the Duxian Sect.
Later, I still need to remind the headmaster Kong Kong and ask the headmaster and several elders to strictly observe Bai Ze's seclusion in Duxianmen.
Bai Ze and Li Changshou did not talk to each other along the way until they reached the Black Pool Peak. Bai Ze lay beside the pool and stared at the clear water. The whole beast was a little depressed.
"Mr. Bai seems a little disappointed."
Li Changshou asked warmly: "But because Lu Ya finallyOr is he embarking on the road of confrontation with heaven? "
"Alas," Bai Ze exhaled slowly, "It's not because of this. Pindao already knows what his temper is like.
It’s just a little weak.
What’s the use of knowing more? I just saw the ending of some people, things, and things in advance, but I was unable to change anything.
No matter how much he warned Lu Ya, he would only look at the immediate benefits and always felt that his destiny was his. In the end, it was the arrogance in his heart that buried everything, which was completely different from his father's temperament. So close. "
Li Changshou thought for a while and said: "Now that the Western religion is involved in the demon clan thing again, sir, how should Heavenly Court respond? "
"The Water God is testing me again," Bai Ze cheered up, pondered a moment or two, maintained his true form, and said, "You can ignore it. ”
“Oh? Why ignore it? "
Bai Ze said: "The West made a cautious and clever move this time. Instead of participating in the battle head-on, it helped those monster masters escape with their lives.
In this way, we can gain the gratitude of masters like the Demon Clan without offending Heaven too much.
According to the Western thinking, it would be difficult for the Heavenly Court to raise an army to hold people accountable. It would be better to ignore it, find out what the West is planning first, and then prescribe the right medicine.
For the saint forces, as long as the melon they want to pick is crushed in advance, it will be considered a victory. "
Li Changshou nodded slowly, carefully comparing Bai Ze's words with his own thoughts in his heart. They coincided with each other.
Bai Ze sighed again: "I'm afraid. Lu Ya later reached a dead end and completely switched to the West. "
Li Changshou asked: "Lu Ya switched to the West. What's wrong with him? "
Bai Ze said:
"There is nothing wrong with him. Today he has lost the shelter of the saint. If he can be protected by the saint of the West, his life will be worry-free.
But if Lu Ya surrenders to the West, the spirit of the demon clan will be sucked dry by the west, and the demon clan will become the puppets of the west.
After these monsters are dead, Pindao will feel better, but from now on, all the new souls in the world will be classified as monsters by the West, and then they will be exploited and enslaved... …
It is truly the misfortune of all souls. "
"What Mr. said is something I have not considered before," Li Changshou restored his original face and lowered his head to think.
Bai Ze smiled and said: "The Water God values the human race. There is nothing wrong with the lightness of all spirits, but the water god can now influence all matters in heaven and can also influence the decisions made by His Majesty the Jade Emperor, so it should be more fair.
Li Changshou nodded slowly, then looked at Bai Ze with some amusement, and said with a smile: "Mr. Bai came to my side, could it be that he already had such persuasion intention?" "
"Water God, don't think too much," Bai Ze lay there with some frustration, "Pindao is here to improve the food for people. "
"I believe what Mr. Bai said," Li Changshou said, "Mr. Bai, please rest for a while. I will take care of Beizhou's funeral affairs."Come and have a drink and talk with your husband. "
Bai Ze sighed in frustration, lying there and continuing to be depressed.
......
In the northern part of Beizhou, the heavenly soldiers and generals were marching in an orderly manner. The clouds left and flew back to the sky.
The soldiers and horses of the Underworld's Yin Division also retreated, riding the wind to return to the Netherworld.
Dongmu Gong and Li Changshou patrolled everywhere together. Once, on behalf of the Heavenly Court, he expressed condolences to the Beizhou Witch Clan and sent the cordial greetings from the Heavenly Court.
The Bull-Headed Horse-faced Warrior Clan arrived hesitantly with a group of Hell-like Witch Clan who had not had a chance to appear before and now had all kinds of resentments. In front of Li Changshou and Dongmu Gong, he bowed his fists and saluted honestly.
"Lord Water God, brothers are not able to play!" We agreed to let us fight the hardest battle..."
Li Changshou had several black lines hanging on his forehead.
These guys, Wu Dalang drank medicine and asked Pan Jinlian for a refill— —You are trying to be brave, right?
“Those Hongmeng ferocious beasts did not directly participate in the battle. This was a mistake in my previous calculations,” Li Changshou said with a smile, “But because of your calm ambush, you gave the opponent a huge blow. The great deterrence also gave me more confidence to deal with today's battle situation.
Although you have not directly participated in the battle, the role you played is no less than a frontal fight. On the contrary, it has a more important significance. "
The bull-headed horse looked at each other in confusion.
The horse said: "Master Water God, please don't say that, it is inconsistent with the concept of our Wu clan." "
Mugong on the side smiled, forcibly brushed off his presence, and said: "In today's battle, everyone who participates in the battle will be rewarded based on their merits. You have also made a great contribution. "
The bull-headed horse-faced man blinked, and the former couldn't help but mutter: "Lord Mu Gong is here too. ”
The horse said seriously: “Master Mugong, please don’t do such an insult to our Shaman Souls!” We didn't participate in the war, so what's the point? "
The bull's head shook the horse's face, rubbed his big hands, and smiled at Li Changshou:
"Of course, if heaven insists on rewarding, we can't disobey the destiny, can we?
Just the Baiwu Hundred Years Seasoning will be enough. Don’t give too much. If you give too much, our brothers... will reluctantly accept it. After all, we cannot defy destiny. ”
“Spice? "Dongmu Gong cast a doubtful look at Li Changshou. The latter smiled and said something, and Dongmu Gong laughed dumbly.
Mu Gong said with a smile: "Since the Wu people like to eat, this is not the case. It’s difficult to do. How about asking the Water God to get the formula later, and I’ll order the fairies in the Heavenly Palace to make it quickly and then send it to the underworld? "
Niutou nodded quickly, "Thank you, Water God! Thank you Mugong! ”
Ma Mian rolled his eyes in anger, but did not take the initiative to cause trouble.
After sending away the bull-headed Ma Mian, Li Changshou and Dongmu Gong led dozens of heavenly generals, Riding the clouds and returning to Heaven.
All the immortals and gods in Heaven gathered at Beitianmen. After the two powerful ministers returned, they congratulated Li Changshou again. Finally returned to his own Water God Mansion,There was no time to rest, and he continued to monitor the movements of the monsters on the border of Beizhou.
This time, the demon clan lost troops and generals in the north of Beizhou, and its vitality was greatly damaged.
When the demon clan was defeated miserably in front of the witch clan, the demon clan who stayed on the southern border of Beizhou raised their troops and went to support them.
But firstly, it will take at least seven or eight hours for the remaining elites of the demon clan to pass through the thick miasma circle;
Secondly, in the northern part of Zhongshen Continent, above the many fairy gates Immortal light was lingering, and countless human qigong practitioners seemed to have received some order, and they arranged a battle formation on the mountain gate.
The demon tribe’s ‘base camp’ suddenly felt the pressure and quickly made the decision to abandon the demon soldiers in northern Beizhou.
This is naturally a little trump card that Li Changshou had arranged before.
He just used his personal connections to send invitations for assistance to a small number of immortal sects, asking them to put pressure on the demon clan. These immortal sects were also happy to do this favor.
Beizhou was defeated, the masters fled in embarrassment, and ten of the demon soldiers they sent were annihilated. The demon clan was naturally furious.
But Li Changshou listened carefully for a while and found that there were very few people in the demon clan who scolded him as the water god. The dragon clan was the most scolded for fawning over the heavens. They scolded the heavenly soldiers for "using Tao soldiers as shields" and hiding behind the Tao soldiers. There are many who dare not fight.
When the word 'Water God' is mentioned, most demon clans are a little emotional. Many demon clans are even praising the 'Water God's bravery' and saying that their ancestors are also related to the 'Way of Water'...< /p>
The demon clan’s culture is really unpredictable to Shou.
Unfortunately, Lu Ya’s hiding place could not be found at this time, and it was unknown how seriously Lu Ya was injured.
If Qiankun Ruler seriously injured Lu Ya, he could also arrange a sneak attack to kill him while he was sick.
The demon clan on the border of Beizhou did not continue to raise troops, nor did they have any tendency to raise troops. Li Changshou felt relieved for the time being.
Next, these demon clans should be peaceful for decades;
The focus of their work and Dongmu Gong’s work should be on expanding the strength of Heavenly Court and waiting for His Majesty the Jade Emperor. Returning to heaven with the Queen Mother, then is the time to truly eliminate the demon.
Today’s battle is just to make the demon clan be more honest.
Yuan Tujian...
The silver-haired girl...
In his heart, Li Changshou was quite unable to complain about the Western saint's habit of going back on his word.
But the saints have acted rogue, what else can they, ants, do? I can only endure it.
In the secret room of Xiaoqiongfeng Mountain, Li Changshou placed the Qiankun Ruler and the Xuanhuang Tower in front of the portrait of Lao Tzu, and bowed three times to the Taiqing Saint. The Xuanhuang Tower and the Qiankun Ruler disappeared from the table.
A familiar Taoist rhyme slowly unfolded in Li Changshou's heart, condensed into two big characters, and then dissipated invisible.
[Don’t be anxious]
Li Changshou was startled for a moment, then bowed to the portrait of the saint before exiting the secret room.
Going back to the alchemy room to meditate, Li Changshou began to summarize the Beizhou war, reflect on the shortcomings and inconsiderations of what has been done, and think about the subsequent development.
If my cultivation level could be equal to or similar to that of Taoist Lu Ya, I would really have a chance to kill him today.
"Alas..."
Cultivation requires long-term accumulation, which cannot be rushed.
After all, after immortality, the speed of enlightenment has obviously slowed down. All of my original lustful thoughts and wild thoughts have been consumed, and the matter of cultivating the Tao has returned to the accumulation of understanding.
‘Go to Tushita Palace later and report this matter to the Master. '
Also, in this battle of Beizhou, Li Changshou asked several heavenly generals to take photo balls to make all-round records. He can bring these to the ancient demon soldiers of the human race and let them see what they have now. The fighting power of Heaven should make these old people feel more at ease.
Thinking of this, Li Changshou was about to move to the Tianting Water God Mansion, but suddenly there was a movement in his heart, and the immortal consciousness that permeated the mountain gate converged towards the mountain gate.
There, a handsome young man came riding on a cloud. He gently opened the folding fan in his hand, revealing the word "cloud".
When the 'young master' arrived at the mountain gate, he cupped his hands in front of the old gatekeepers and said with a warm voice: "Xiao Yun, a poor fellow, is here to visit a friend. I wonder if I can give you a shout on my behalf. "
The old man asked kindly: "What is the Taoist name of the good friend you are looking for?"
"Li Changshou on Xiaoqiong Peak... Don't worry, he is Already here."
