In the reincarnation disk, three or two figures sat opposite each other. Master Xuandu crossed his arms and nodded constantly, but it was the junior brother beside him who always spoke.
Master ** was also a little emotional.
He watched helplessly as Li Changshou gradually replaced him as the talker...cough!
He saw with his own eyes that Li Changshou reached his current position step by step and became the most trusted immortal of the Jade Emperor. He talked freely in front of the saints and was deeply loved by Empress Houtu and several saints. I trust you.
If we look back on the past, everything seems to have originated from the Poseidon Cult in the South China Sea.
The fact that an opportunity can change a life is vividly explained by Li Changshou;
But how much effort it takes to seize the opportunity can also be answered by Li Changshou.
However, the master can be sure that he is the teacher’s favorite disciple!
Hmm...probably.
After Empress Houtu said goodbye to the incarnation of Qiqing, the grass ring was sealed by Empress Houtu with her magical power and handed over to Li Changshou.
The empress’ eyes were a little reluctant, and her slender fingers gently traced the grass ring.
Li Changshou said: "Your Majesty, I intend to ask the Holy Mother to create a perfect body, and then reincarnate Xiao Ai and the others through the Reincarnation Tower."
Hou Tu frowned slightly, He said softly: "This goes against the law of reincarnation. Thousands of living beings should be the same and should not be special because of me."
"Don't worry, Madam," Li Changshou said seriously, "Under the iron rule You must be flexible, otherwise how can a pool of stagnant water become active?
And this is not all due to the great virtue of the empress. The incarnations of the seven emotions have great magical powers. Those who do not have a Taoist heart that is as solid as a rock cannot resist it, and they definitely cannot be like ordinary people. The soul is reincarnated like that.
Don’t worry, I have obtained His Majesty the Jade Emperor’s permission for this matter in advance. I will give the reincarnated soul to the Reincarnation Tower later and go to the Holy Mother Palace.
I will be careful with my senior brother, so please rest assured."
Houtu smiled slightly and nodded lightly, "Thank you, longevity."
p>
"This..."
Li Changshou was suddenly called by his real name. He was slightly caught off guard. He lowered his head and put the grass ring into a jade box, put it in his arms, and said with a smile: p>
"Your Majesty, please call me Chang Geng."
Hou Tu's eyes became gentler and he said softly: "When I came back to pick up your master's soul, I accidentally saw some memory fragments. I didn't mean to pry. ."
"By the way," the Master asked, "Is the soul of fellow Taoist Qi Yuan here?"
Li Changshou's face darkened. For some reason, in front of him? The doctor's face was inexplicably sore at the tip of his nose.
After a while, the master and Li Changshou stood by the treasure pool with their hands folded, looking at several golden light balls floating up and down in the water.
The master sighed softly, bowed to the treasure pond, and said warmly:
"That's not bad. It's better to be reincarnated and repair it again than to turn into a withered corpse." The leaves are withered and strong.”
"Master is already in disaster," Li Changshou sighed. It is not impossible to violate it. The way of heaven is based on all living things, and is driven by all living things at the same time, and evolves in one direction.
This is the principle that the general trend cannot be changed, and small things are calculated by the mind. ”
Li Changshou savored it carefully and said, "Thank you, senior brother, for your advice."
Master Xuandu smiled and said:
"Well, in a few decades, I will be able to I can't help you... The balance of all things limits the way of heaven.
The path you take to live a long life is destined to compete with the way of heaven;
But how to fight, how much to fight. , but it’s up to you, so don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Don’t forget that after all, you are just a living being in the world.
Just follow your heart and follow the Tao, and you will be able to succeed naturally. "Always."
So, this is the theoretical support for you to skip classes if you want to, Teacher **?
Li Changshou thanked him and wrote down these words.
The two of them stayed by the pool for a while, and strolled around the edge of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk for a while before exiting the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk and rushing to the Reincarnation Tower.
With the cover of Tai Chi Diagram, all ghosts will be undetected and unchecked.
Master Xuandu looked at the layout of the major changes inside and outside Fengdu City, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid you are the only one who can use millions of heavenly soldiers as craftsmen."
Li Changshou smiled and said: "His Majesty the Jade Emperor is quite open-minded."
"Speaking of this, you should also pay attention," Master Xuandu said, "Uncle Jade Emperor You can rest assured that you are a brother, but Master Jade Emperor is the one closest to Heaven, and his influence is second only to Master Dao Ancestor.
If Heaven wants to bring disaster to you, Master Jade Emperor may do it. I’ve given you some orders, but you must be careful and consider them carefully.”
Li Changshou pondered for a few times and then replied in a voice: “Senior brother, don’t worry, I have been prepared beforehand.”
< p>The things I do for heaven are actually divided into two types. One is my active calculation to earn merit for myself, ahem, for the stability of heaven and earth.The other is the Jade Emperor. Your Majesty took the initiative to explain, such as the post of Chang'e's chief instructor."
"As long as you can tell the difference," the master stretched, "Chang'e, Chang'e, there are also masters of the clan in the Moon Palace. For Wu Gang.
He is Chang'e's guard and the favorite general of the ancient human emperor. Be careful when you climb over the wall, he will not be polite to you if he catches you. ”
Li Changshou's forehead was covered with black lines: "Brother, why should I climb over the wall?"
"Hey, you still want to come in blatantly? Chang'e still has the title of Dayi's wife after all. You have such a... reputation, junior brother!"
The master raised his eyebrows slightly, and the corners of Li Changshou's mouth twitched.
Okay, bear with it.
I will take you to the Shang tribe later, create a bit of atmosphere for you, and give you the schedule of two important things for teaching people, mentioned above.
Tsk, I don’t know how beautiful Kong Xuan will be after he confirms his gender and transforms into Kong Xuan.
With the Tower of Reincarnation in sight, Li Changshou and the master looked at each other. Without communicating or discussing, they directly revealed their true form, released their coercion, and calmly floated over.
"Brother, Ksitigarbha is a Western disciple after all."
"Well, let's beat it this time to prevent him from turning his elbows inward in the future."
Duan is full of tacit understanding.
......
Heaven, Lingxiao Palace.
The civil servants and military generals gathered together, and several famous heavenly recordkeepers sealed their bronze mirrors.
Although Youqin Xuanya is very active now and has established preliminary 'prestige' in the Heavenly Court, her immortal status is not enough to enter the Lingxiao Palace to discuss matters, and she has not been seen today.
Look at this:
The Jade Emperor in white is sitting on a high platform, and the old god is playing a reward to the water god.
The second-level god's name is Taibai, and he does not enter the stars and is on your side.
Mugong said loudly: "Your Majesty, since the water god entered the heaven, he has repeatedly performed extraordinary feats, solved your majesty's worries, and worked hard for the rise of the heaven.
First decide on the four seas and the dragon clan. At the Peach Banquet, he stood up and spoke eloquently to the disciples of the Western Great Sect. He also rescued the witches of Beizhou, defeated the demon clan's plot several times, and destroyed both the body and spirit of the demons who wanted to disrupt the sky.
The water god reformed. Governing the law of heaven, rectifying the underworld, and clarifying the will of heaven.
Today, the water god's achievements are enough to rank as a second-level god in heaven.
So that the water god can better assist His Majesty. , I dare you, Your Majesty, to make the Water God the second-level righteous god!"
As soon as this was said, all the gods and gods fell silent.
Dongmu Gong, you are an old mouthpiece.
Every time Dong Mu Gong starts to speak impassionedly about something, it is His Majesty the Jade Emperor who conveys the 'result' of the matter to them through Mu Gong's mouth.
Water God’s promotion was an unexpected event.
It is the same as the power in the hands of the second-level righteous god in heaven was comparable to that of the third-level water god.
But at this time, they, the heavenly gods and gods, did not dare to stand up and plead for the Water God. After all, His Majesty the Jade Emperor still made the decision in Heaven, and the Water God only assisted His Majesty the Jade Emperor.
I heard the Jade Emperor laugh twice and said: "Today it is time to raise Chang Geng to the second level. Which god position do you think is suitable?"
There was silence below. After a while, a heavenly general stood up and shouted: "Your Majesty, why not make the Water God the Grand Marshal of the Heavenly Arms and Horses? This second-level divine position is in charge of the Heavenly Army, which is quite consistent with the Water God."
< p>A civil servant suddenly frowned and said: "Your Majesty, I think something is wrong.The Water God is not a heavenly general, but the Water God is unparalleled in resourcefulness and should be an example for the civil servants of the Heavenly Court."
The Jade Emperor. He nodded with a smile, feeling that this was reasonable, and said:
"Everyone expresses his or her own opinion, let's discuss this matter carefully today."
When Mu Gong heard this, he immediately pressed his hand.I know that His Majesty the Jade Emperor wants to hear what he has said, and if he has any other better opinions.
One after another, immortals and gods expressed their opinions. Some immortals felt that the Water God should become the Great Emperor, that is, the position of the Four Emperors. The real official of the Heavenly Court, under the Jade Emperor.
But someone immediately rebutted, saying that the water god should sit in the heaven and should not be sent out.
It wasn’t until the positions of the twelve second-level righteous gods were discussed that they felt that none of them were suitable for the water god.
Ao Yi asked if it would be possible to add a second-level divine position so that his leader, brother, could become the Great Dragon God of the Four Seas or something, so that other immortals and gods who still wanted to take advantage of the glory would instantly reject it.
——Which system does the Water God belong to? This system must be taken seriously.
At this time, Mugong stood up and took out the arrangement that he had discussed with the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor nodded with satisfaction and let the gods and gods continue to discuss.
At the same time, in the Tower of Reincarnation in the Underworld.
The master and Li Changshou were sitting on two wooden chairs, and Ji Zang was sitting on a futon by the window, frowning tightly at this time.
Ksitigarbha sighed: "Water God, the first time you came to my Samsara Tower, you actually wanted me to do favoritism... This is too much. You underestimate me."
Li Changshou He smiled and said, "It's a little wrong to say this, fellow Taoist. How is this partiality?
After the great virtue, the earth body transformed into the six-path reincarnation disk, and he did not care about his own gains and losses for all living beings. At this time, he was just borrowing the reincarnation tower. Doing something for Empress Hou Tu is a private matter for Empress Hou Tu, and it is also a business matter for those of us who work for the way of heaven.
In other words, fellow Taoist, are you deliberately trying to embarrass Empress Hou Tu? ”
The corners of Ksitigarbha's mouth twitched and he sighed:
"Water God, you have such a mouth, I really can't speak for you."
I once made a great wish in this incarnation to meet all living beings. We will treat everyone equally, will not be influenced by any forces, and will not open the door for Western religions.
Similarly, I need to act according to the rules set by the Water God. Why did the Water God personally ask me to break it today? Such a rule?"
Master Xuandu said calmly: "Then this matter is attributed to the Water God, just say that the Water God asked you to do it."
Ksitigarbha Weiwei. He smiled and said: "Among the Heavenly Dao, it seems that the Water God is currently ranked behind Pindao. The Water God is unable to give orders to Pindao."
Master Xuandu frowned and looked at Li Changshou .
Li Changshou shook his head helplessly. He was indeed only a third-level righteous god. At this time, Ksitigarbha was already a god in the underworld, second only to Houtu Empress.
At this moment, a golden light flashed and fell on Li Changshou, and the rich power of heaven transformed into various strange phenomena.
The clouds are like clouds, the glow is all over the place, and the sound of brisk music floats out from the top of the Samsara Tower.
Li Changshou realized it carefully, couldn’t help but smile and said calmly:
“The master of the Samsara Tower, Ksitigarbha, obeys his orders.
Open the Samsara Tower and bring out the seven emotions. Incarnate into the spirit of reincarnation, and this god will protect this spirit and find its refuge.Body and place. "
Ksitigarbha sensed carefully and frowned: "The way of heaven is so unbalanced that..."
"Don't get me wrong," Li Changshou said with a smile, "calculate the time, at this time It just so happened that His Majesty the Jade Emperor convened the immortal gods for discussion as usual. It should be a reward based on merit, and he elevated me to a divine position.
Although the specific appointment requires the will of Tongming Palace, at this time in the sequence of heaven, this god happens to be before you. ”
Ksitigarbha was speechless for a moment, and Master Xuandu almost laughed.
Click, click, click, brisk footsteps came from the side, and Listening used his own Fa Li held a tray and came forward to serve fragrant tea to Li Changshou and Master Xuandu.
"Water God, don't be angry, don't be angry...
He is my master. Stubborn, let me talk to him carefully. You drink tea first, drink tea.
Now my master and the Water God are both working for Master Tiandao. Please take care of me in the future. He doesn’t understand anything and thinks he is on Lingshan Mountain. ”
Ksitigarbha glared at Tingting. Tingting swept his tail, crossed his two front hooves, and lightly beat Li Changshou’s leg.
What the master saw was Le, smiled and said: "This tea is quite good. "
Di Ting shivered and did not dare to say anything more.
"Accept the divine order of water," Ji Zang squeezed out this sentence through his teeth, and then turned around, Looking at the scene outside the window.
The master gave Li Changshou a look. Li Changshou understood, immediately stood up, walked to the window sill, leaned against the window edge, and crossed his arms.
Li Changshou said: "We fought over and over again, but I never thought it would end like this. You and I have become co-workers.
Let’s talk calmly, I have actually been waiting for this day for a long time. ”
“The Water God is ridiculous,” Ksitigarbha said calmly, “But the Water God’s defeated generals are here to linger and end their lives.” "
Li Changshou smiled calmly, took out the essence of "Troutine Theory", the three major classics of Stable Sect, organized his thoughts, and said slowly:
"If you and I are not in the same position It would be nice if those who were on opposite sides didn’t have any previous grudges. "
[Routine 1, cherish each other.]
Ksitigarbha's eyebrows twitched slightly and said: "The water god's plan is above mine. I have to admit this. ”
“You don’t have to always call me Water God, just call me Chang Geng.” "
[Routine 2, call each other by name to get closer.]
Ksitigarbha suddenly hesitated, sighed softly, and said: "Chang Geng. "
"Ksitigarbha," Li Changshou asked with a starry eye, "Actually, I changed my mind about you because when you jumped into the Tower of Reincarnation that day, there was no trace of peace in your eyes. Not wavering.
This is indeed what an extraordinary immortal can do. You deserve my admiration. "
[Routine 3: Thousands of wears, but no flattery.]
Ksitigarbha shook his head with a wry smile, "It's just that he was forced to have no choice. Pindao himself became a teacher. The best strategy in hand.
ManySome people can't help themselves, and some people don't think about all sentient beings. ”
Li Changshou smiled and said: “The Empress Houtu transformed into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and she also considered stabilizing the final destiny of the Wu clan, but can we deny her great virtue? Of course you can't.
Actually, you are like this too...
In terms of virtue, I am not as good as you.
I just suppressed you with my divine status, and I would like to apologize to you. I just wanted to do something for Empress Houtu, I hope you can understand. "
[Routine 4: Offer the top hat, play hard to get, retreat in order to advance, and stimulate empathy.]
Ksitigarbha's voice became much softer, and he said: "This is I will do my best to do the things I have to do. Before, I just vented my anger with you, Chang Geng, but deep down in my heart I still can't accept the current situation.
How can a humble Taoist dare to compare himself to a great virtuous man?
Today, even if Pindao is punished by Heaven, he will definitely make this happen. "
Li Changshou smiled and nodded, and said: "You and I share this responsibility...
Ksitigarbha, do you have any ideals?
In other words, when you are practicing Taoism and have never been exposed to these major conflicts, have you ever thought about why you are practicing Taoism? ”
“It is natural to live forever and explore the true meaning of Tao... Chang Geng, why are you laughing? Is it really so vulgar? ”
“It’s commonplace, but it’s the truth.
It’s much simpler for me. I’ll just live until I die. When I first started practicing Taoism, I didn’t even dare to think about immortality. ”
In the faint light of the Samsara Tower, the two people by the window were talking and laughing, as if they were old friends for many years.
In the back, the doctor was calmly drinking tea. Hearing movement from the side, Di Ting covered his eyes with a paw and sighed softly:
"My silly master..."
The master pointed out a finger and Di Ting stayed in place.
...
A moment ago, in the Lingxiao Hall.
Chang Geng Aiqing was granted the title of Taibai Star Lord, a second-level righteous god in heaven, who was not among the stars.
He is in charge of the transformation of heaven and earth, the killings of heaven and earth, and the water affairs of the three realms. He has the power to supervise the immortals and gods in heaven. For those whose divine status is less than the fourth level, Chang Geng Aiqing appoints and removes them at his own discretion.
In addition, Chang Geng Aiqing also served as the chief instructor of Chang'e in the Moon Palace, and the Water God Palace was renamed Taibai Palace.
When the will of Tongming Hall is finalized, Taibai returns to his throne, and the three realms celebrate together. ”
