A cup of tea and a rebuke may seem like just a bit of a fussy thing about Ran Deng, but in the prehistoric days where shame was very important, this could indeed be an excuse to make trouble.
It’s still a very reasonable excuse.
But Ran Deng had just said, "It's intentional" and was still building momentum for the attack. A flash of green light flashed with an electric arc. Today's protagonist is Li, the heavenly water god who is about to be promoted to the second-level righteous god Taibai Jinxing. Chang Geng appeared directly in front of Ran Deng.
Without any explanation, he protected Long Ji behind him, made sarcastic remarks, and forced the group to start.
At this time, most of the many immortals inside and outside the temple felt that this heavenly power god was a bit overbearing and did not save face for the deputy leader of Chanjiao at all.
Of course, most immortals thought that Heavenly Court Li Changgeng and Ran Deng Taoist were in a state of hostility, and their personal grievances were so serious that they started fighting on the spot.
Two words: arrogant!
But a few immortals thought carefully and tasted it, and found that the matter was not that simple.
The beautiful female fairy behind the Water God, not to mention her identity as the princess of heaven, is at least a late-stage cultivation of the heavenly fairyland. She is not far from the golden fairyland. She has a solid Taoist realm and a peaceful aura. How could she be so? Unable to hold a cup of tea?
At this time, according to each immortal's different understanding of the situation and the different understanding of Randen Taoist, and considering the depth, it can be divided into three, four, and five levels.
Considering those on the third level, I felt that Ran Deng wanted to deliberately give the Water God and Tianting a blow due to personal grudges.
Considering those on the fourth level, I feel that this may be a plot by others to worsen the relationship between Chanjiao and Heaven.
There are very few immortals who can take into account the fifth level. They are all the great disciples of Jie Jiao and a few masters of Chan Jiao who know that Ran Deng’s buttocks have long been crooked. They feel that Ran Deng is deliberately giving the Jade Emperor Take eye drops and take the opportunity to cause trouble.
But Li Changshou was different...
He saw the negative third floor.
Throwing aside the appearance and looking at the essence, there is a very troublesome core question -
[What position should the biological daughter of the contemporary Emperor of Heaven occupy in the order of heaven? 】
Long Ji does not have a divine status, he is only a loose immortal in heaven.
The Jade Emperor is different from the emperors in the human world. There is no "reasonableness" for his descendants to become the next Emperor of Heaven. The Emperor of Heaven is the ancestor of Taoism, or designated by the way of heaven.
In this context, Long Ji is in a slightly embarrassing situation.
In the original disaster, Long Ji was demoted to the mortal world because he lost etiquette at a peach banquet;
and was later raped by Fu Yuan Xianweng, an old man who is now gone. The guy plotted and was forcibly betrothed to his defeated general 'Hong Jin'. In the subsequent battle, both he and Hong Jin were killed, and a ray of soul was listed on the list of gods.
Start as a free body and return to heaven to become a god.
As for Long Ji’s story, Li Changshou had two conjectures when he first started planning to become a god.
First, the Jade Emperor did it intentionally, using Long Ji’s sacrifice to show that he was in charge of the three realms on behalf of Heaven and was selfless., in order to establish its own majesty, and consolidate its position in the rapidly expanding theocratic system of heaven after the Catastrophe of Conferring Gods.
Secondly, Long Ji was actually plotted against someone, and someone used this to discredit the Jade Emperor.
But after Li Changshou went to heaven...
As his understanding of the Jade Emperor gradually deepened, he directly rejected the former; and he was very sure that someone deliberately made things difficult for Long Ji. This is difficult for the Jade Emperor.
Now that Fuyuan Immortal is dead, Li Changshou originally thought that Long Ji’s story line had changed, but he didn’t expect Ran Deng to pop up again...
It’s really hard to guard against.
On the way here, Li Changshou did his best to calculate and analyze three different "plot development routes", and quickly figured out the key here.
If he had used a relatively mild approach, Ran Deng might have shut up temporarily, but this cup of tea spilled on him would have become an excuse for Ran Deng to attack later.
Even if one or two immortals say a word or two later, Ran Deng can strike hard.
If Taoist Ran Deng is determined to cause trouble today, he will definitely use "What is the position of the Princess of Heaven in Heaven" to further question "Whether Heaven upholds the concept of justice."
It’s all routine.
If the Jade Emperor fell into such a trap, he would probably punish Long Ji severely, and then he would go crazy in his heart.
So Li Changshou stood up directly in front of Ran Deng.
In two simple sentences, he classified Long Ji as his disciple and disciple of Taiqing Dao, and separated Long Ji from the heaven system.
What’s wrong with having your own disciples walking in heaven and assisting you in handling heavenly affairs?
This is only one of the excuses to block Randen’s subsequent attacks;
Li Changshou took advantage of the situation to help the deputy leader of Randen to promote, explaining that he hated Randen because he provoked Chan Cutting off the relationship between the two religions in order to preserve the face of the Chan religion is the second one.
In addition, Li Changshou had further considerations.
[The Jade Emperor’s temperament].
Li Changshou has actually been observing and understanding the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor is the creature most closely related to the way of heaven, and he has gained a lot of insights from this.
Ever since the Jade Emperor leaped over the eye of the East China Sea, Li Changshou began to worry about whether the Jade Emperor's temperament would be affected by heaven and gradually change.
Today's Jade Emperor is dressed in white. He has a sense of responsibility as the Emperor of Heaven and has a grand desire to establish a fair order in the three realms, protect the weak, and restrain the strong.
Li Changshou was actually a little resistant. He resisted the Jade Emperor and put on a divine robe. His eyes lost their smile and became insensitive. He only acted according to the rules of heaven and became indifferent to living beings...
From this perspective, Li Changshou could not let Long Ji be plotted.
Before Ran Deng took advantage of the opportunity, he directly overturned the table. From the perspective of protecting Long Ji, it was the safest way.
This is not because I despise the ‘ancient Buddha’ of Lantern, nor does it mean that I have given up on my consistent code of conduct.
Stability is engraved in the bone marrowThings must persist unwaveringly for ten thousand years!
Everything has its pros and cons, and nothing is perfect.
Li Changshou’s handling of things like this also has drawbacks.
After all, it is a temporary strategy, so it is reasonable to have shortcomings.
What are the disadvantages?
At this time, Li Changshou bullied Taoist Ran Deng with his power in full public view;
Randeng just asked a question and did not attack Long Ji, so it was easy for him to take advantage of it. Clear your momentum and enhance your prestige.
Thoughts were flowing rapidly in his heart. Li Changshou observed Ran Deng's reaction, and Long Ji behind him was still a little unable to recover.
After being slapped in the face in front of everyone, Ran Deng's face was inevitably a little cold.
But Ran Deng’s scheming was clearly revealed at this time, exactly as Li Changshou expected... the misfortune began.
Ren Deng Taoist sighed longly and said slowly:
"I never thought that the Water God would be so prejudiced against Pindao.
Pindao He was appreciated by the Yuqing Saint and became the deputy leader of the Chan Sect. What he did was to promote the prosperity of the Chan Sect and did not intentionally target the Water God or Jie Jie.
The teachings of the two sects have been different since ancient times. There is a conflict, and this is not caused by Pindao.
Perhaps the water god is too close to Jie Jiao due to personal affairs, and is biased. ”
Li Changshou: ...
I still underestimated this guy’s face.
At this time, you need to avoid the traps in the other party's words.
Li Changshou smiled and said: "The twists and turns of right and wrong are determined by people's hearts. When Deputy Hierarch Randen came today, could it be that he deliberately came to oppose me?
I know that Deputy Hierarch Randen has always treated me. I have some opinions, but today His Majesty the Jade Emperor has given special permission to invite so many famous people from ancient times to bear witness to my promotion to the divine level.
Deputy Leader Ran Deng deliberately came to stir up trouble, fearing that he would be too disrespectful to the Heavenly Court. , Don’t take my human religion seriously.
If this is the case, I will really go and see the Second Master to cry.”
Randeng’s eyes narrowed and he was calm. Said:
"Pindao is here today to congratulate the Water God on his promotion to the throne, so I won't say more about it.
The misunderstanding between you and me will be solved in the future.
Perhaps Pindao is not a disciple of the Taoist sect, has not cultivated the path of saints, and has less attachment to the Taoist sect, but the leader was very kind to Pindao in ancient times, and Pindao only focused on explaining the teaching plan. "< /p>
If he didn't know about the 'Ancient Buddha', Li Changshou felt that he might actually believe it.
Unfortunately, most of the gods and gods around looked at Ran Deng with a bit of admiration and respect.
This is the price of protecting Long Ji.
Li Changshou shook the fly whisk in his hand, said, "I hope the deputy leader of Randen will be consistent in his words and deeds," and took Long Ji away.
Long Ji vaguely understood the key here at this time. She had just completed the 'Growing Up Retreat'. When she looked at Li Changshou's back, her eyes were a little more grateful;
Taking advantage of LiChangshou exchanged greetings with the masters of Chanjiao and Jiejiao. Long Ji raised his hand and hit himself on the forehead, secretly cursing himself for being useless.
At this moment, Li Changshou’s voice penetrated into Long Ji’s ears:
“No matter who asks you later, you will say that your hands were slippery for a while and you could only deal with Yu. His Majesty and the Queen Mother discussed the specific situation. If my guess is correct, you must have been in a trance just now.
Go and prepare a cup of tea. Today, I have recognized you as a disciple and will include you here.
Don’t think too much about anything else, everything is under the protection of the teacher.”
Long Ji was startled, his pretty face flushed with excitement, and he bowed to Li Changshou. Bye, bow your head and leave in a hurry.
At this time, Li Changshou had successfully become the most handsome old Taoist in the room. With a few words of Taoist friends and a few bows, the matter of lighting the lanterns just now was completely revealed.
He and Yun Xiao looked at each other, smiled at each other, and each held a salute to each other.
I also chatted and joked with the saints Jie Jiao and Chan Jiao, and used my own efforts to slightly integrate the distinct Chan Jiao and Jie Jiao immortals.
Li Changshou recalled the various opening speeches, school opening speeches, and wedding masters of ceremonies he had heard in his previous life, and said loudly:
“Thank you all Taoist friends for taking the time to come to watch the ceremony. Tao Chang Geng is extremely grateful!
The reason why Chang Geng is so lucky today is really due to the guidance of his teacher and the care of his two uncles. He cannot do without the trust that His Majesty the Jade Emperor has always given, and it is also inseparable from the teachings and guidance. I would like to thank you, brothers and sisters, for your support.
Since the founding of Heaven in ancient times, His Majesty the Jade Emperor has cared about the people of heaven and earth, cared about the sufferings of the immortals, upheld the concept of heaven and earth, and never slept or eaten, bringing Heaven to where it is now.
Chang Geng is here, hoping that all fellow Taoists will prosper together with Heaven, and let the light of the righteous path shine on this ancient land!"
There are constant echoes around you! , all saying polite compliments.
Afterwards, Li Changshou walked around, first greeting and greeting each saint in person, and then went to find someone to teach "one of his own" and joke about it.
On today's occasion, it is not convenient to remind the tight-lipped Master Du'e. We just greet each other and call each other senior brother.
When Li Changshou turned half a circle and returned to Fairy Yunxiao, he was about to say a few thoughtful words to Yunxiao, taking the opportunity to relieve the embarrassment after being disturbed by a certain 'river god' last time.
Zhenren Taiyi came up with his arms crossed, bumped Li Changshou on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Why is Tianting so stingy and does not arrange banquets, singing and dancing?
Do you want to Fairy Chang'e, please come over and dance."
Li Changshou:...
Are you looking for trouble?
Although he was very angry, Li Changshou still tried to keep a smile and said:
"I actually don't know the specific arrangements. It was decided by Mu Gong.
< p>Senior brothers and sisters will be invited to the Yaochi for a banquet later, and all the immortals and gods will be invited here to watch the ceremony.It seems that His Majesty the Jade Emperor has also summoned many immortals. ”
"I wonder why there are no dragons and people from the underworld here," Master Taiyi muttered, and then asked, "What authority does a second-level righteous god have?"
Li Changshou smiled and said: "It's just working for the way of heaven, there is no such thing as authority."
Master Taiyi blinked, shook his head and said: "Forget it, I was thinking of training spirit beads to serve in heaven. Look at him I really like the atmosphere in heaven."
"Why don't you see Ling Zhuzi today?"
"He said he was going to prepare a gift for you. He went to see his good brother earlier. I should be able to see him when I give gifts."
Taiyi Zhenren curled up his lips and sighed: "The apprentice can turn his elbows outward, which is indeed something that Pindao has never thought of before... The apprentice is a big mistake. "Stay."
"It probably has something to do with character and temperament," Li Changshou blinked, then walked to the side with a chuckle.
Master Taiyi chuckled for a while, but was not angry at all. He turned around and went to chat with the Immortal Chan Jiao.
A few Chanjiao immortals gathered around Ran Deng. After all, in public here, even if Chanjiao is divided into two factions and forms cliques with each other in private, it cannot be shown directly.
The fairies from Jiejiao were the most dazzling, but when they got together, their aura was too strong, causing all the fairies to retreat ten feet away.
Li Changshou was able to blend in naturally and chatted a few words with Fairy Yunxiao, thus resolving the previous embarrassment.
Yunxiao warned: "There are many guests here, so don't stay in one place for too long.
Although the reputation is just a floating cloud, the immortals who came here today are all for When you celebrate, don't neglect it and make them feel unhappy."
"Hey, yes," Li Changshou responded honestly, and then bowed with a fly whisk, "I am a poor man. Follow the fairy's instructions and continue to wander around." Yunxiao's eyes were full of anger, while Qiongxiao and Bixiao chuckled.
The movements and expressions of these two sisters are quite similar. They are also beautifully dressed up.
Li Changshou turned around to entertain the guests. Our Lady of the Golden Spirit said from the side: "Gongming... Zhao Gongming will not be able to come over until later and is rushing back to the Three Thousand Worlds."
"Thank you, senior sister, for reminding me," Li Changshou responded with a smile, a little bit of gossip burning in his heart, but he did not betray Uncle Zhao.
After walking around the hall twice, Ao Yi hurried over and told Li Changshou two things.
The first thing is today’s specific process.
As Li Changshou said, this place is used to announce the edict. Later, after the edict is announced, a banquet will be held here to entertain all kinds of immortals and gods.
At that time, Li Changshou can invite all Taoist masters to go to Yaochi for a banquet. The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother will appear at the banquet, as well as the civil servants and generals from heaven, the Four Seas Dragon Palace, the Lord of Hell from the underworld, and people from the Immortal Alliance. , are all waiting in Yaochi.
Li Changshou thought for a while and said to Ao Yi: "Don't invite Ran Deng. We will unify the message later and say that His Majesty the Jade Emperor is hosting a banquet for the disciples of Taoist saints."
"Yes!" Ao Yi agreed immediately.
The second thing is related to Long Ji.
Long Ji had just returned to the Yaochi in a hurry. He wanted to change his clothes and inform the Queen Mother about his formal apprenticeship. The Queen Mother sent someone to ask if Long Ji's apprenticeship could be arranged at the banquet.
It’s more beautiful that way.
Li Changshou agreed, but in his heart he was thinking about how Long Ji would be in trouble in the future.
Ignoring everything else, as the daughter of the Emperor of Heaven, if no one plots against her, she will not be forced to marry her defeated general just because she is destined;
If no one tells her Why Xingzhou is the destiny of heaven, forcibly defining the good and evil of Chanjiao and Jiejiao, Long Ji may not necessarily die in the strife of the great religions, and a ray of soul will be on the list of gods.
This matter is quite crucial.
Li Changshou clearly felt that there were still many undercurrents surging today.
I don’t know when Ksitigarbha’s congratulatory message appeared, and this time, the West didn’t know whether he came to congratulate me or to cause trouble for me.
Rumble——
Just as I was thinking about this, I suddenly heard bursts of thunder outside the palace, and saw auspicious clouds gathering in the sky, and the power of heaven became more and more intense.
I saw a procession of honor guards descending slowly from the sky. Two rows of golden-armored war gods opened the way. Dongmu Gong, dressed in a gorgeous robe, came stepping on the auspicious clouds, holding a golden decree of the Emperor of Heaven in his left hand.
Finally, the business has come.
......
At the moment when Dongmu Gong appeared and came with the will of the Emperor of Heaven;
In a house in a corner of the heaven, he closed his eyes and concentrated. Qin Tianzhu, the incarnation of the Jade Emperor and the general of heaven, suddenly began to tremble slightly with his eyelids.
Because this incarnation has been exposed, the Jade Emperor did not use it anymore;
However, adhering to the principle of "resolutely not to admit it", the Jade Emperor did not dissolve the incarnation, but Staying shut in the house, tinkering and changing it later, you can pull it out again and continue to be the fifth incarnation.
At this time, Qin Tianzhu, who should not have woken up, suddenly opened his eyes, and the golden light in his eyes was shining and quite sharp.
"Who here dares to trespass into the heaven!"
I heard a chuckle, and under a tree in the corner of the house, Youdao's faint figure gradually solidified. , but he has a slightly chubby figure, his clothes are patched, but his face is a little blurry.
The man made a bow and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, forgive me. I have taken the liberty to come here and hide my whereabouts, just to see your Majesty today..."
This At that time, the Taoist was sighing in his heart.
[Ksitigarbha is really too tightly controlled by the Water God. Why go through the Water God when negotiating peace with Heaven? ]
"Western teaching disciples?" Qin Tianzhu asked coldly.
The Taoist nodded slowly and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, can you give this poor Taoist half a stick of incense...Your Majesty?"
Qin Tianzhu closed his eyes, and his figure suddenly collapsed and turned into a Piles of gold sand are blown away by the wind.
On the throne of Yaochi, the Jade Emperor opened his eyes, curled his mouth slightly, and continued to appreciateThere was singing and dancing in front of them, with a hint of smile in their eyes.
The West teaches these guys how stupid they are to secretly find his abandoned incarnation.
What should I do if Chang Geng Aiqing misunderstands me?
Not even a single request to see him was given, but he was still living in a dream, and he came directly to discuss with him...
When the Tongming Palace is just a decoration, these divine thrones in the heaven are useless. Do you think he, the Jade Emperor, is the king of the mountain?
Besides, the Queen Mother asked softly: "Why is Your Majesty laughing?"
"Some little things," the Jade Emperor squinted and chuckled, pleased with himself.
