The wind on Yuntai is warm and the winding paths are fragrant.
In a pavilion on Sanxian Island, seven figures are standing or sitting, all of them are the eldest disciples of the teaching.
The expressions of each immortal at this moment are different.
Taoist Duobao was the calmest, holding a cup of hot tea with a smile and slowly sipping it;
Zhao Gongming and Jinling Holy Mother were a little impatient, pacing back and forth in the pavilion. step.
Yunxiao was sitting in the corner of the pavilion, with long hair tied around her temples and wearing a light Confucian skirt. Her face was cold and beautiful, but she didn’t show much emotion. She was always gentle, looking at her two faces. A sister.
Qiong Xiao, who was wearing a long light yellow dress, Bi Xiao, who was wearing a short skirt and a coat, and Our Lady of the Turtle Spirit, who preferred a light green gauze skirt. The three fairies gathered at the two stone tables in the middle of the pavilion. On the side, Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao were playing chess, and the Holy Mother Turtle Spirit was pointing beside them...
The expressions of the three of them were the most relaxed, as if the matter here had nothing to do with them.
The crisp sound of 'ta-da', mixed with the chirping of birds and insects carried by the wind, made this moment in the pavilion quite peaceful.
Outside the pavilion, Zhao Gongming turned around and wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he just sighed and continued to pace with his hands behind his back.
Qiong Xiao stared at the chess game with a pair of wonderful eyes, pinched a round chess piece with her slender fingers, and said with a smile:
"Brother, you can just say what you want, we are here to discuss countermeasures." , If you don’t say anything, how can we discuss it?”
“Alas...” Zhao Gongming sighed: “How can we talk about this?
Chang Geng has a good friendship with us, but after all, he is a disciple of the Human Cult, and he wants to be in charge of this catastrophe...
I actually know that Chang Geng has always been worried that we will fall into catastrophe, and whenever he wants to gain merit, he will The purpose of calling you and me together is to have more protection during the great catastrophe.
He has done enough for us. We can’t rely on Chang Geng for everything. ”
"Hmm...ah?"
Our Lady of Turtle Spirit, who was wearing a light green thin skirt, said in surprise: "Is there such a good thing as collecting merit?"
Qiong Xiao rolled his eyes, his expression was exactly the same as Bi Xiao's, with a hint of disdain and pride.
Qiong Xiao said: "I haven't encountered it a few times anyway."
Bixiao said: "That's right, that's right! The disciples of the Human Sect are always biased!"
p>
Besides, Taoist Duobao smiled and narrowed his eyes. He was about to make a joke, but then subconsciously glanced at Yunxiao...
Be patient with one hand and endure with the other.
As a senior brother of Jiejiao, you must pay attention to the rigor of your own style and speech.
Mother Turtle Spirit thought about it carefully and asked in a low voice: "Aren't we discussing how to capture the Blood Sea Red Lotus? Why are we stuck with Junior Brother Chang Geng instead?"
Zhao Gongming Explained:
"If the Red Lotus thing is indeed true, we must fight for it.
80% of the Chanjiao side will also fight for it. This is understandable, no The truth is that we must intercept and teach such treasures
In this way, Chang Geng’s attitude becomes very important. ”
“Not bad. "
Our Lady of the Golden Spirit answered next to her, holding her jade arms and leaning on the railing on one side;
Her slender figure has some natural charm, but it is a pity that she was His own coercion completely overshadowed him.
Hearing the Jin Ling Holy Mother say: "If you don't work with Chang Geng, it's hard to feel how powerful he is.
Knowing the enemy's opportunities, judging the enemy's path, and then giving a comprehensive response method, you can face the sage's calculations and rely on your own quick wits to deal with it.
Such a person can borrow several treasures from Uncle Taiqing at any time to protect himself. He himself has the unpredictable way of balance, and he is also the leader of the current catastrophe, one of the most powerful people in heaven. The god of power of Yan Jiuding.
What’s more, this junior brother’s attitude is, to a certain extent, that of his senior uncle.
If he is fought over by the Chanjiao side, our chances of seizing the red lotus to suppress the Chanjiao's luck will be extremely slim. "
The Holy Mother Turtle Spirit pursed her lips and blinked, thinking for a while.
Bixiao whispered: "Is the prospective brother-in-law already so powerful? "
"Sister," Qiong Xiao said, "What did you say in the letter you just sent him?
Yunxiao said softly: "Just ask him not to be embarrassed, to judge the matter from the perspective of a disciple, and not to let personal affairs affect his judgment." "
Hearing this, Holy Mother Jinling frowned slightly, feeling a little dissatisfied with this, and asked again and again: "Junior sister Yunxiao, aren't personal relationships important?
He and you are already Taoist companions, why can't you use this to win him over to our Jiejiao side?
You are a disciple of the saint Jie Jiao, and he is a disciple of the saint Jie Jiao. If they are a match made in heaven, Ren Jiao and Jie Jiao should be closer to each other. Why can't we get some benefits from him? "
Fairy Yunxiao said softly: "Senior sister may not know that my relationship with him has no intention or action, but we are just happy for each other, and we are at peace with each other like solitary geese in the clouds.
Because of my affairs, he has already done too many things that he shouldn't have done. How can I use this relationship to make him deviate? "
The eyes of the Golden Spirit Mother showed a little sharpness: "Junior sister, do you only care about the love between the two of you, but ignore the righteousness of the teacher? ”
“The personal relationship between children belongs to the personal relationship between children, and the friendship between teachers and teachers belongs to teachers and families. Why do they have to be confused? "
Yunxiao stood up, her long white dress sliding like running water without leaving any wrinkles.
There was an unyielding feeling in her gentle words. Firm:
"As I said in the letter to him, if Senior Brother orders me later, you and I will go to the sea of blood to search for the twelfth-grade karma red lotus, and I will be a Teach your disciples what they should do.
If personal feelings are used to interfere with friendship, or if feelings are used to interfere with personal feelings, it is impossible to do both. "
The Holy Mother Jin Ling was about to speak again. Zhao Gongming and Taoist Duobao hurried forward and stole the ball almost at the same time.
Zhao Gongming said hurriedly: "I think what the second sister said makes sense, but what Jin Ling said is also good."
"Two junior sisters, don't argue, don't argue," Taoist Duobao said with a smile, "Now Honglian Not yet born, maybe the whole thing is a plan by the second leader of the Western Sect to cause us to have a dispute with the Chan Sect."
Bixiao snorted: "The Chan Sect is not lacking in suppressing the movement of the sect. Treasure, why are you arguing with us?"
The Golden Spirit Mother said calmly: "They certainly don't want to see us safe.
I sent a few people to the blood sea to search for the whereabouts of the red lotus. All the disciples have discovered the traces of the disciples of Chan Jiao.
If the great calamity is destined to destroy the three thousand Immortal Immortals of the Great Sect, Chan Jiao naturally hopes that the share of these three thousand will fall to our Jie Jiao. With the Western Cult."
"Alas," Qiong Xiao held the chess piece and gently tapped her pretty face, "Who wants to kill himself or his fellow disciples? This is all reasonable? , Don’t blame Chanjiao too much.”
Taoist Duobao chuckled:
“Let me tell you, are you thinking too far ahead?
Now that I haven't even written the horoscope, I'm starting to think about what benefits we can get from taking the red lotus.
Brother Zhaowei said that this time, the twelve-grade red lotus is the best. , don’t worry about anything, it won’t make the current situation worse anyway, so why worry about it?”
“You are free and easy, Senior Brother”
Jin! The Holy Mother of God shook her head and said no more.
“In this way,” Zhao Gongming said, “those of us who are very familiar with Chang Geng should not show up directly this time to avoid Chang Geng’s embarrassment.
Senior Brother, Junior Sister Guiling, You two might as well go to the Netherworld to discuss this matter with Chang Geng.
I guess it’s time to send someone there.”
“I’ll go too.” "Okay, sister?"
Qiong Xiao asked, not forgetting to slowly move the pieces, and saw the situation on the chessboard changing, and the jade chess pieces emitting crystal light.
Five pieces in a row, you have won!
Bixiao slapped his forehead in annoyance. This plaything from Xiao Qiongfeng actually made Sanxian Island a lot more fun.
Fairy Yunxiao thought for a moment, nodded gently, and agreed.
The six top disciples of the Jie Jiao discussed again for a while, and finally decided that the senior brother of the Jie Jiao, Taoist Duobao, would take the inner sect’s top disciple Gui Ling Sheng Sheng and the outer sect’s top disciple Qiong Xiao to the Netherworld together. Go to Li Changshou to discuss the twelve-grade red lotus.
Qiong Xiao changed into a dignified long dress and carefully washed and dressed up. She looked like a 'bright little fairy, a beautiful lady with boundless beauty'.
After Qiong Xiao had packed up, Duobao opened the earth cave, and Qiong Xiao and Turtle Spirit Madonna got into it. The three quickly left Sanxian Island and rushed to the Netherworld.
Yunxiao walked to the edge of the pavilion and looked at the horizon. The breeze blew a strand of green silk around her ears. The delicate hands hidden in the soft sleeves were holding the warm copper coin.
"Junior Sister Yunxiao."
BehindThere was a soft call, and the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit whispered: "What I said just now is not dissatisfaction with you. You and I have known each other for many years, and I also know your temper. Don't take it seriously."
Yunxiao turned around and said softly. Smile, your beautiful eyes are full of smiles.
Zhao Gongming said: "I don't know whether the twelve-pin red lotus thing is true or false. The timing of its appearance is too subtle."
"There must be someone behind it. The plan," said the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit, "may be the Western religion, or some saint, or someone we don't know, so don't be careless."
Fairy Yunxiao murmured to herself: "That's right. I don’t know how he should deal with it.”
With the murmur, this concern followed her gaze on the clouds, drifted to the horizon, and reached Li Changshou’s ears.
……
Ding!
Ding ding ding——
In the Tower of Reincarnation, on the wooden ladder leading to the top.
The big green-haired dog, which had shrunk by more than half of its size, was carrying a tray full of tea cups and slowly climbed to the top floor with trembling steps.
Di Ting ran to Li Changshou first, handed him a cup of tea with his immortal power, and said with a smile: "Master Water God, drink tea, drink tea."
Jsitigarbha's forehead A vein popped up.
Then, Di Ting turned around and ran to sit in front of Bai Ze, holding a cup of tea in his two front paws: "Mr. Bai Ze, drink tea, drink tea."
A cross of veins appeared on Ksitigarbha’s forehead.
Unconsciously, Di Ting used his magical power to push the two cups of tea to Golden Winged Dapeng and Wei Shenmo, and said in a warm voice: "This is a humble house, and the two marshals have worked hard."
p>
The two heavenly marshals expressed their thanks.
Finally!
Di Ting was trembling all over, holding the last cup of tea tremblingly in front of the strong man who turned into a green cow.
"Senior, senior, drink tea!
Those who serve as mounts in the three realms all want to get to your level and be able to carry the saint master everywhere!"
Qing Niu smiled calmly, took the tea cup, raised his hand and touched Di Ting's head.
In an instant, Di Ting's green and white hair was dyed a little pink, and he ran behind Li Changshou. The whole divine beast man stood up and helped Lord Water God beat his back.
Wei Shenmo frowned and looked at this scene, a little...
dumb.
Is this the divine beast that can listen to the voices of all beings in the three realms?
Click, click, click!
And over there, the young Taoist who is sharpening a knife and setting up an iron pot is really the Lord of the Samsara Tower whom the previous incarnation saw in the Netherworld last time and was moved by him - Earth Tibetan?
"Uh," Wei Shenmo couldn't help but rub his eyebrows, feeling a little uncomfortable.
Li Changshou said slowly: "Can Di Ting know about the red lotus?"
Di Ting hurriedly said: "Lord Water God, this red lotus thing should be true, but the little beast I don’t know where the red lotus is hidden.”
“What was the result of the Western Sect’s previous search in the Sea of Blood?”
p>
"The Western Sect sent this time..."
"Hmm!"
Ksitigarbha coughed hard and flashed the short knife in his hand.
Zhiting shivered a few times, turned around and glared at his master, and then continued: "Master Water God, don't mind, my master still has feelings for Western religion.
I am I will never tell you, Lord Water God, that the Western Sect has sent thousands of creatures, from saint disciples to Hongmeng ferocious beasts and karmic monsters, to search the sea of blood for a long time, but finally left without finding anything.
< p>Then there was news that the Twelve-grade Red Lotus was about to be born."Ksitigarbha snorted, threw away the short knife in his hand, and said calmly: "The Water God might as well stay and have a meal today. "I heard that Mr. Bai Ze has a good craftsmanship and has made braised divine beasts many times!" Di Ting grinned, ran back to Ji Zang, and climbed down calmly.
Bai Ze smiled slightly: "Such cooking is harmful to the harmony of heaven... Since fellow Taoist Ksitigarbha has been included in the order of heaven, why should he consider himself a disciple of Western teachings again?"
" At first I thought that the reason for cultivating the Tao and seeking immortality was to be free, but until my enlightenment became clear, I realized that everything stemmed from just two words, heel."
Ksitigarbha said slowly: "It's like water. Like gods, from the time we step into a portal and develop a magical power, we have been marked with such an indelible mark.
Many mortals cannot go beyond a few hundred miles in their lifetime;< /p>
Although you and me, immortals, can travel through three thousand worlds and even explore the sea of chaos, we still have to remember where our roots are, otherwise our minds will be confused."
Li Changshou stood up. Thumbs up: "Fellow Taoist seems to be really free recently, and he has so many enlightenments from immortals."
"Humph," Ksitigarbha put away his smile, "I will definitely not help you today. You are looking for the twelve-pin red lotus."
"Really?"
Li Changshou, Bai Ze, Qingnian, Wei Shenmo, and the golden-winged roc all looked at each other. Landed behind Jizo.
There, Di Ting held a wooden sign in his mouth, with several large crooked characters painted on it.
[Hell, evil souls of karma;
Red lotus is absorbing karma]
"Huh?"
Ksitigarbha turned his head and looked Eyes, the wooden sign beside Di Ting's mouth made a swishing sound, and Di Ting quickly swallowed it into his mouth, chewing it calmly for a few times.
"What are you eating?"
"Master, in order to express my respect for Senior Qingniu, I tried to figure out the unique skills of the cattle tribe and chewed the cud last time I ate it. "The food we passed."
Ksitigarbha immediately looked disgusted and moved his position to the side.
Li Changshou stood up at this moment and said with a smile: "Since fellow Taoist Ksitigarbha is unwilling to help, forget it, let's go."
The other four masters agreed. , stood up and said goodbye to Ksitigarbha and Titi.
Ksitigarbha did not get up, but just sat there with his eyes closed and meditative.
After leaving the Reincarnation Tower, Li Changshou frowned and thought for a while, thinking about what he heard from Xiangdi.A way.
The more I think about it, the more I feel that this method is really feasible.
If you can find an evil soul with enough karma in the eighteenth level of hell, but the power of its soul is not too strong, wouldn't it be equivalent to putting a 'mark' on this power of karma? ?
Then, just follow the flow of the power of karma and throw in more ‘samples’, and you may be able to find the whereabouts of the twelve-level karma red lotus!
It’s better than waiting here.
Wei Shenmo asked: "What does Na Di listen to the hint mean?"
Li Changshou smiled and explained the method he had just thought of in the language of prehistoric Taoism. , except for Bai Ze, the other three all looked astonished.
Qingniu smiled and said: "This is really smart."
"It should be Ksitigarbha who is reminding us," Li Changshou said, "It's just that Ksitigarbha still has his own I don’t want to let go of my persistence, so I borrowed Di Ting’s hand like this.”
Wei Shenmo smiled and said, “Why can’t Di Ting make the decision without permission?”
“Marshal,” Li Changshou. He said warmly, "The wooden sign didn't impose any restrictions at all. Ksitigarbha has some immortal knowledge anyway."
Wei Shenmo patted his forehead, his smile mostly filled with emotion.
"Let's go, let's go to the eighteenth level of hell to choose..."
Li Changshou stopped talking, looked at the light passing over Fengdu City, and said with a smile:
"Let's split into two groups. Several senior brothers from Chanjiao have arrived.
I'd like to trouble Mr. Bai and Jin Peng to take my token and select suitable karmic souls. I'll receive the next few here. Senior Brother."
"Shan."
"Teacher, don't worry!"
Bai Ze and Golden Winged Dapeng each agreed and turned around to rush to Fengdu City. The fairy island of reincarnation.
The flying lights turned into four figures, which were none other than Chi Jingjing, Huanglong Zhenren, Taiyi Zhenren, and Yuding Zhenren. And a light shadow flew out of Taiyi Zhenren’s sleeves, but it was... Lingzhu also came with him.
Zhenren Huang Long seemed to be afraid of the embarrassing atmosphere. He started laughing as soon as he landed, and he used the ancient conventions as social etiquette to the fullest extent.
Both sides greeted each other. Wei Shenmo and Qing Niu stood behind Li Changshou without making any sense of presence.
Chi Jingjing glanced at Taiyi Zhenren, but the latter had his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky, completely speechless.
Li Changshou took the initiative and said: "Senior brothers, they should be here for the Honglian matter."
"Not bad," Chi Jingzhi showed a gentle smile and was about to Continuing to speak, the world beside them suddenly collapsed into a circular pit, and three figures immediately jumped out of it.
The fat Taoist at the front smiled calmly: "It's better to come early than to come by chance. What a coincidence."
Chi Jingzhi frowned slightly and immediately led a few people to explain. The immortal saluted and called him "Senior Brother Duobao".
Madonna Guiling and Qiong Xiao did not come forward to salute, but just nodded.
Representatives of the three religions were caught off guardMet.
Although it didn’t rain continuously, the atmosphere was indeed not too harmonious.
Li Changshou thought about it for a while, and was about to invite a few people to the Heavenly Soldier Camp for a chat...
"Uncle Chang Geng!"
Ling Zhuzi jumped on his own initiative When he came to Li Changshou, he showed an innocent and bright smile, "I want to go back to heaven to continue practicing for a while!"
"That's right," Li Changshou raised his hand and patted Lingzhuzi on his shoulder, encouraging him. "Don't forget to make progress and achieve positive results."
Taiyi Zhenren curled his lips: "Sure enough, raising an apprentice is like raising a daughter, even if you can be kidnapped."
Red sperm suddenly showed a little smile.
The three Jiejiao immortals looked at each other a few times, each feeling a little bit of pressure.
At this time, Qiong Xiao smiled and jumped in front of Li Changshou naturally, bowed slightly to Li Changshou, and naturally stretched out two slender hands to hold Li Changshou's arm.
The soft lips and white teeth shook, and the Bailing softened the heart:
"Brother-in-law~ I also want to play in heaven."
Li Changshou stiffened, The cold hairs stand on end, and I want to pull away but can't. At this time, every move I make may be over-interpreted.
Chi Jingzhi and Huanglong's foreheads were covered with black lines, and they subconsciously looked at Taiyi.
Go up, can’t lose!
Master Taiyi immediately took half a step back, hid behind Master Yuding, and said:
"What are you thinking, Chang'e is not my sister!"
p>
The corners of Li Changshou's mouth twitched crazily, feeling that he had been kicked out of the group for no apparent reason, with a "danger" sign on his forehead.
The two small hands that seemed to be holding his arms were pinching each other hard at the moment...
Fortunately, the only ones moving outside at this time were the [High-level Body] The Paper Taoist's body is hidden in the sleeve of another Paper Taoist, and he feels no pain.
