What to do?
In the huge Zixiao Palace, except for his own teacher Taiqing, all eyes were focused on his hands.
Many pressures were exerted intentionally or unintentionally. Although most of them offset each other, there was still a bit of the saint's pressure on Li Changshou, which made Li Changshou's breathing a little stuffy.
At this moment, a figure flashed past and stood in front of Li Changshou, standing with his back to Li Changshou and his hands behind his back;
Although his expression was plain, there was always a hint of laughter in the corners of his mouth. The smile that couldn't be concealed, and the shadow of the Tai Chi diagram condensed behind him, all the pressure on Li Changshou was resolved.
It was Master Xuandu who took action in time.
His Majesty the Jade Emperor, who stood up a little late, silently sat upright.
Another opportunity to increase the relationship between the monarch and his subjects was lost.
Li Changshou hurriedly sorted out the chaotic Taoist mind, and continued to lie on the ground pretending to be seriously injured. He held the whip and the list of gods tightly, thoughts flowing rapidly in his heart, and the power of his mind was still full!
Forget it, do it quickly!
This wave of Daozu has dozens of meanings!
Hitting, scolding, and loving are just words to coax a child. He is a bad old man to believe him... Well, no, he is actually full of gratitude from the bottom of his heart.
However, Mr. Daozu gave such "special treatment" in front of him, and whispered in a low voice, which was a clear expression of his support for the heaven.
The subtext is nothing more than:
[I want to build the heaven. No matter how hard you try during this catastrophe, the heavenly throne must be filled. 】
Then he left behind the list of gods and the whip and made a graceful exit.
Li Changshou has imagined the scene of the Conferred Gods List appearing in the world countless times. The most likely scenario before was that the Taoist Master opened his mouth and said a bunch of mysterious and mysterious words, and then gave the Conferred Gods List.
But I never expected...
My hands shook and I threw the list away, just into his arms!
The second saint next door almost turned green.
He was completely paralyzed by the heavenly punishment of Master Daozu, and his soul was sealed. He was completely unable to refuse, and his open mouth was useless!
If someone said that Master Hongjun did not intentionally arrange this to kill Saint Zhunti, Li Changshou would not believe it!
In order to help the Jade Emperor or his own teacher compete for the list of gods today, Li Changshou prepared several sets of rhetoric and more than a dozen plans. In order to crush the Western religion to death, he spared no effort to collect the 'crimes' of the Western religion. .
In the end...
It's all in vain.
Daozu gave him more than he thought.
It turned out that I only needed to receive a severe beating and a few scoldings from Daozu, and there was no need to fight or grab. Relying on Daozu's ancient magical power, he just forced the [Book of Heaven] in his hand with a shake of his hand. In his hands.
Intrigues, intrigues, and cliques are all useless!
Think about it on the other hand, what would happen if Dao Ancestor did not take such measures today?
Li ChangShou Luo made a calculation...
In the original Great Tribulation of the Gods, the Gods List was controlled by Yuanshi Tianzun. I am afraid that Yuanshi Tianzun was betting on both ends and secretly negotiated with the Western religion.
Nowadays, there are many variables in the Great Tribulation of Conferring Gods. Hongjun Daozu has made it clear before that he will hand over the leading power of Conferring Gods to the Heavenly Court.
Three years ago, Yuanshi Tianzun and Taoist Jieyin met, and the two sat down to talk.
It is very possible that that time they were discussing today's matter. The two saints of the Western Sect supported Yuanshi Tianzun in taking charge of the list of gods, and then aimed the catastrophe in the future at the disciples of the Jie Sect.
After thinking about the joints here, Li Changshou gradually figured out a clear line of logic in his heart.
He has indeed become a key in the hands of Daozu.
Although the key itself is far less heavy than the 'lock', its position and shape are just right.
Before entering the Zixiao Palace, the words of Empress Nuwa, "If the human race itself does not fight for the fate of the human race, who can we count on?" It was really full of profound meaning when I tasted it at this moment.
——The Nuwa Empress stands on the side of the human race, and the Great Tribulation of the Gods is, in a sense, the Sage Sect's debt to the human race.
In other words, Empress Nuwa was expressing her stance to Taozu. She was on Li Changshou's side.
When Zixiao Palace is discussing the canonization of gods today, the six saints are likely to form an embarrassing situation of three versus three.
Taozu is the master of the Six Saints. This catastrophe is a catastrophe for living beings brought down by heaven. There must be enough casualties to fill the catastrophe.
If in this Zixiao Palace, the Six Saints were divided into two factions around Chanjiao and Jiejiao, three against three, it would be difficult for Taozu to end;
That kind of thing Under such circumstances, as long as Dao Ancestor expresses his position, it will hint at the direction of the great catastrophe, thereby affecting the fate of the catastrophe of heaven.
Jie Jiao owes too much to the human race, and there should be many casualties;
The Western Sect is outside the Taoist sect, and it would be unreasonable for Taoist ancestors to say that they have no objection to it.
Therefore, Taozu used his answer to the problem and pulled out Li Changshou, an ordinary god of power in heaven. He beat him severely until he lost consciousness, then stuffed down the list of gods and the beating whip, and walked away gracefully. ...
He neither explicitly stated his support for the Chan Cult nor the Intercepted Cult, but conveniently suppressed the Western Cult. He also took advantage of Heavenly Court and sold a favor to Taiqing, who did not want to see the three brothers quarrel.
The higher one is still the higher Taoist ancestor.
How could Li Changshou believe in such a thing as ‘I’ll beat you just to make you feel better, and I’ll just throw away the list of gods’?
This is the strongest person in the world who is in harmony with the way of heaven. How can the current single-handed creator of the Three Realms be as knowledgeable as his little disciple?
It’s all a calculation!
Of course, the possibility of taking advantage of the situation and giving him a slap during the calculation cannot be ruled out.
Well, I’d better make less use of the Oath of Heaven in the future. The master has a strong opinion on this...
The problem now is that he was kicked into the quagmire by his own master. How can he still Make up for it with two legs, stuffing his whole body inside.
Li Changshou originally wanted to hide behind the scenes and take advantage of the situation to make arrangements during the Great Tribulation of the Gods, but now he directly holds the Gods List and the God Whip!
Although it seems that he can directly intervene in the script of Fengshen and obtain higher authority, he will then directly face the conquest between the great religions, and he will become the focus of conflicts!
Really unstable.
"Chang Geng...Chang Geng?
Hey, ninety-eight percent?"
The Jade Emperor shouted several times from the side, and finally shouted these three words , made Li Changshou tremble all over, subconsciously opened his eyes, and the chaotic thoughts in his heart quickly calmed down.
There was some concern in the Jade Emperor's eyes;
Li Changshou lay there and suddenly laughed a few times.
Empress Nuwa couldn't help but wonder: "You guy, could it be that your soul was broken by the teacher, how can you still laugh?"
Li Changshou jumped up quickly, and his body The Taoist robe shook and a layer of black ash fell off.
"Reply to my uncle," Li Changshou said with a smile, "This disciple is very happy to have the trust of the master and be entrusted with such an important task!
The master also specially explained to the disciple , Why didn’t you do meritorious deeds and call your disciples your disciples?”
After saying that, Li Changshou looked at the livid-faced Saint Zhunti and said with a smile:
“Western religion. Second leader, rest assured that the little god will work hard to do such a job and do what he can for the great prosperity of heaven according to the master's request!"
"Ahem!" The Jade Emperor cleared his throat from behind and said. He said, "Chang Geng loves you, we will talk about these things later.
You might as well...
Go outside the palace to change your clothes first. This is really unseemly."
Li Changshou was a little confused. He was about to take advantage of the situation and hand over the list of gods to the Jade Emperor for safekeeping.
The Jade Emperor flicked his fingers and blew out a wisp of breeze. A certain ordinary god of power in the heaven, the person in charge of the list of gods, and the disciple recognized by the Taoist ancestor...
Suddenly I felt a roundness in the back buttocks. cool!
Looking back, Li Changshou blushed, surrounded by fairy light, and bowed to the left and right in apology.
What a huge embarrassment this time!
He asked Teacher Taiqing for his life, hid in the Tai Chi diagram on the side, and quickly changed into a light blue robe.
This damaged Taoist robe...
Treasure it!
In the future, a Museum of Prehistoric Wenjiao will be opened. This is the best proof of Taozu’s loving care for the leader of Wenjiao!
While changing clothes, Li Changshou heard the voices of saints talking from the hall.
First, Saint Zhunti sighed: "Teacher doesn't trust us after all."
Tongtian Cult Master choked: "How can I make the teacher trust me with what you are doing?"
"My fellow Taoist, what you said is wrong," the Taoist who led the Taoist said slowly, "There is order in heaven and earth, not just one Taoist sect. The teacher was able to give Hongmeng Purple Qi to two poor Taoist brothers, and said The West should be prosperous. This is the way of heaven.
However, looking at it this way, the Great Tribulation of the Gods is not the opportunity for our great success in the West. "
Yuanshi Tianzun said: "Teacher's move is a bit childish. "
Tongtian Cult Leader smiled and said: "Brother, you didn't hear it just now. The teacher said it himself, [Heavenly Book] is destined to Chang Geng.
Chang Geng is the chief minister of the Heavenly Court, and he is also the disciple that the senior brother loves. He has cultivated the Dao of Balance and has done many outstanding deeds for the great prosperity of the Heavenly Court.
What’s wrong with letting him control the [Heavenly Book]? "
Yuanshi Tianzun said: "Chang Geng started late, and although he acted steadily, he was still relatively junior. "
Nuwa Empress smiled and said: "Senior brother, I have to say a few words.
Senior brother, please don’t forget that Chang Geng is from the human race. This great catastrophe was caused by the Sage Sect’s debt to the human race, so the main body of the catastrophe fell on the Sage Sect.
Let Chang Geng, who was born in the human race, preside over the great catastrophe, which is the most suitable thing for heaven. ”
The nurse on the side calmly walked back behind Saint Taiqing, trying hard to control his breath and become an air person, so as not to burn himself and cause himself chores other than sleeping.
The saints debated for a while, and then Li Changshou stepped out from behind the Tai Chi diagram. Not only did he change his clothes, but he also changed his hairstyle and cleaned up his body.
'The pit of the list of gods. You really can't jump.'
He appeared again, and the eyes of several saints gathered again.
Sage Nuwa was a little playful in his encouragement, while Master Tongtian was pure. The eyes of Yuanshi Tianzun were a little complicated, the eyes of the great sage of Western religion were full of goodwill, the eyes of the two saints...
That is not important
Sage Taiqing kept his eyes closed. Resting his mind seemed to have nothing to do with him.
But at this moment, Li Changshou walked slowly to Saint Taiqing, bowed to his teacher, and said warmly: "Teacher, there is something wrong with me. Ask for help. "
"Speak. "
"The master trusted me and gave his disciples a whip and a list of gods, and ordered his disciples to take charge of the matter of canonizing gods.
The disciple should not refuse, but this matter is of great importance. As the second uncle said, the disciple is still underqualified and inexperienced, and becoming a god is not a trivial matter. The disciple may make a mistake and cause disaster. "
Li Changshou looked at the Jade Emperor and said loudly:
" I want to ask the teacher to agree. This disciple will return the list of gods to heaven, and His Majesty the Jade Emperor will personally take charge of the list.
His Majesty the Jade Emperor does not have to worry about the matter of becoming a god himself. The disciples will use the power of the divine whip to carry out the orders of the Taoist ancestors and carefully plan for the great prosperity of the heaven! "
When the Jade Emperor heard this, he couldn't help but smile slightly.
Sage Taiqing also looked thoughtful and said: "It's acceptable. "
"Thank you, Teacher, for your permission," Li Changshou said with a bow, then holding the list of gods in both hands, he quickly walked to where the Jade Emperor was sitting and winked at the Jade Emperor.
< p>The Jade Emperor said sternly: "Chang Geng is in charge of the list of gods, and I am in charge of the list of gods.What's the difference? ”Li Changshou also said seriously: “Your Majesty is the leader of the three realms recognized by heaven and earth. He holds the first place in the divine power of heaven and earth. The canonization of gods is the great prosperity of heaven. In this process, it is most appropriate for you, your majesty, to be in charge of this list of gods.”
The little god will definitely be there to help! "
The Jade Emperor pondered for a few times, looked at the scroll in front of him, and nodded slowly.
"In this case, I will temporarily take charge of the list of gods for you, Chang Geng, and place this list in Ling In the Xiaobao Palace, Chang Geng can use it at any time. "
"Thank you, Your Majesty! "
Li Changshou held the list of gods in his hands. The Jade Emperor stood up, took it with both hands, and slowly held it in his palms.
In an instant, golden light shone, and wisps of heavenly power moved towards Surging from all sides, the shadow of a scroll appeared above the Jade Emperor's head, and it was completely blank.
Seeing this, a big stone fell steadily from the bottom of Li Changshou's heart, and the magic whip in his hand also disappeared. I feel like it doesn’t have much weight.
His Majesty the Jade Emperor takes care of the nominal matters;
He will influence the actual micro-management.
Although the whole process is affected. Li Changshou was caught off guard, distressed and unexpected, but he finally achieved the perfect result he expected.
By the way, he also gained some protection from the Taoist ancestors.
At the same time, the two saints from the Yingjie Sect and the two saints from the Western Sect had a hint of enlightenment in their hearts.
Yuanshi Tianzun said: "Junior Brother Haotian, how do you sign the list of gods. "
The Jade Emperor replied: "There are a total of 365 vacancies on the list of gods, corresponding to the 365 vacancies of the righteous gods in heaven, involving the vacancies of the eight divisions of heaven, the vacancies of the righteous gods of the three mountains and five mountains, etc. .
Three hundred and sixty-five living beings should join the ranks of gods in heaven and enjoy the incense and worship in heaven. "
Sage Nuwa smiled and said: "Although His Majesty the Jade Emperor's words are good, the way of heaven has just been revealed. If his name is written on the list of gods, he falls in the catastrophe, and a ray of soul is included in the list of gods, in this life All bound by the list of gods. "
Tongtian Cult Leader frowned and pondered.
Li Changshou said from the side: "Uncle Master, this is a bad thing and a good thing.
If a person who was originally going to die in a catastrophe was protected by the God List and could be reborn with the power of heaven and enter the heaven to enjoy worship, it would not be a bad thing for this person. ”
Sage Zhunti said coldly: “In that case, just find 365 named disciples to be on the list, and most of this disaster can be resolved.” "
The Jade Emperor snorted and said:
"In addition to selecting immortals for heaven during this great catastrophe, there should be 3,650 immortals from the three religions combined. Immortals fall to balance the power of living beings.
When all senior brothers discuss this list of gods, they should also clearly divide these places that are destined to perish. "
Several saints were silent at the same time, looking at the Jiejiao saint Tongtian Cult Leader.
Tongtian Cult Leader said calmly: "Each family will be evenly distributed. "
The Taoist who received the guide said: "There are not many Taoist disciples, and there are not many Western sects. If they are evenly divided,Due to quota quotas, I am afraid that my Western teaching position will be wiped out. "
Just when Tongtian Cult Master was about to retort, Yuanshi Tianzun also frowned and said: "There are only a few hundred immortals in Yuxu Palace. ”
Sage Zhunti smiled and said: “Jiejiao is known as the Ten Thousand Immortals Coming to the Court, why don’t we compare the number of disciples of the three religions and get the corresponding number of fallen ones?” "
Tongtian Cult Master's expression suddenly became quite grim, "Why, is it a sin for me to have too many disciples? "
The saint said: "If there are ten causes for this great disaster, Jiejiao will account for eight. "
"In this way," the leader of Tongtian Cult took half a step back, "for the divine position in the Heavenly Court, I will count three hundred for the number of the emperor, and for the number of the fallen, I will count one thousand for the number of the emperor. How about that? ”
Li Changshou, who had been standing by and never spoke, sighed in his heart when he heard this.
This matter must not be retreated. If he is weak, he can only give the West a snake and follow the stick. Opportunity.
Sure enough, Zhunti said with a smile: "Jie Jiao Ten Thousand Immortals come to court, even if they accept the number of three thousand, it will not hurt their bones. "
Yuanshi Tianzun said slowly: "Not enough. "
Not enough?
Tongtian Cult Master was furious, stood up, his sleeves fluttered and asked firmly:
"Three hundred is not enough, one thousand is not enough. !
Senior brother, are you determined to destroy my Jiejiao? Kill all my disciples! ”
Yuanshi Tianzun sighed softly, closed his eyes and said nothing. The atmosphere in Zixiao Palace suddenly became a little stagnant, and the sword intention of the Zhuxian Sword Formation behind the Master Tongtian was clanging!
Suddenly I heard Taiqing Laozi say: "Sit down. ”
Tongtian Cult Leader shook his sleeves and sat down with a cold face.
Then, Saint Taiqing glanced at Li Changshou.
I didn’t want to see him again. Li Changshou, who talked a lot and agreed that today's outcome would be "unhappy", could only stand up at this moment.
He and the Jade Emperor looked at each other, and the two of them smiled in understanding. < /p>
Li Changshou took half a step forward and said with a smile: "His Majesty the Jade Emperor just said something that was a bit vague. Please don't be impatient and allow the little god to ask His Majesty the Jade Emperor one more question.
Your Majesty, it seems that the three religions you just mentioned were not explained clearly. "
The Jade Emperor's heart was filled with the script given by Li Changshou decades ago, and he said calmly:
"What I just said is what is shown in the list of gods, and the three religions of Taoism. To be precise, there will be at least 3,650 Immortals who will perish from the Chan Jiao and Jie Jiao.
This is not only the disciples of the saints of the two religions, but also includes the immortal sects to which the two religions belong.
As for how many Immortals will perish in this catastrophe...
It is actually impossible to calculate. "
Hearing this, the leader of Tongtian Sect beamed with smiles, the face of Yuanshi Tianzun was quite calm, and the smile of the Second Sage of the Western Sect was somewhat frozen.
Li Changshou said: "Your Majesty, these three hundred and sixty What do you want to do with the position of the Five Righteous Gods? ”
“It is natural to give priority to beings who are virtuous, resourceful, intelligent, and of good character, except those from Western religions. ”
The Jade Emperor spoke word for word exactly as he had recited before.Said:
"In fact, these senior brothers do not have to regard the Conferred Gods List as a heavenly treasure that threatens life. They can regard the Conferred Gods List as a life-saving thing for the resurrection of the remnant soul."
Yuanshi. Tianzun said: "If your name is on the list of gods, you will be driven by bad luck and will inevitably die."
The Jade Emperor pondered for a few times, but could not argue.
Tongtian Cult Leader said: "Senior brother, why don't you and I make an agreement first, how about not to let the first disciple be included in the list of gods?"
"Junior brother," Yuanshi Tianzun said with a frown, " I'm afraid it's difficult to say for sure."
The Taoist priest interjected: "According to His Majesty the Jade Emperor, this position of Qingfu Zhengshen does not belong to me in the West?"
"Not bad." The Jade Emperor said calmly.
The sage asked: "But the list of gods is so obvious?"
"No."
The Jade Emperor said calmly and sat cross-legged on the futon. With shining eyes and a gentle smile, he said slowly: "This is what I have decided."
Jie Yin frowned and said firmly: "His Majesty the Jade Emperor has gone too far to deceive others!"< /p>
"Is it too much to bully someone?"
The Jade Emperor raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "Chang Geng, help me explain to senior brother Yingyin. I'm afraid I can't control my temper. This treasure spoke filth and insulted the saint."
"Yes," Li Changshou agreed, took a few steps forward, and bowed to the two saints of the Western Sect, looking quite embarrassed.
Li Changshou frowned and said:
"Don't blame the two saints. The little god only stated the truth and did not intend to target.
Before, the heaven was not happy. The Western Sect is in trouble everywhere, including dragon clan affairs and monster clan affairs. The two saints indulged all the Western Sect disciples, committed evil, started a war with heaven, and started the Incense God Sect. Their reputation is really...
If this time During the great catastrophe, a Western disciple entered heaven and became the righteous god of heaven. What should the dragon clan think about this?
What should the dragon clan think about it? What should we think?
His Majesty the Jade Emperor made this decision for the sake of the stability of the three realms and the stability of heaven and earth. Please bear with me, Master Zhunti."
Sage Zhunti. Leng Ran said: "What a poor Taoist can do is nothing more than the great prosperity of the West, and many things are permitted by the law of heaven."
"A little god would not dare to correct the errors and omissions in the saint's words."
Li Changshou straightened his body, with a stern face, divine light surging in his eyes, and golden light shining from the divine whip in his hand.
He did not offend the Second Saint of the Western Sect without saying a word today. If the Second Sage of the Western Sect had the right opportunity, he would also take action to destroy him.
When it comes to matters between Western religion and Taoism, you must not try to please both sides!
What I have to do in the future is to do my best to maintain the integrity of the Taoist sect, keep the internal fighting between the Chanjiao and the Jiejiao to a minimum, protect the vitality of the three Taoist sects, and take the opportunity to eliminate some of the Taoist sect's stubborn diseases.
For Western teachers, reasonable toughness is stability, and reasonable collision will make teachers and Tongtian leadersStand more firmly behind yourself.
So, Li Changshou said the word "but".
“If it is for its own prosperity, it can destroy other traditions, and it can arbitrarily suppress the heaven that brings order to the three realms and protects the weak;
If it is for its own prosperity, it can oppress weak creatures at will. , you can regard mortals who live a peaceful life as livestock;
If you want to change the cycle of life for your own prosperity, you will do everything you can to forcefully increase your own heritage...
What can we get after Daxing?
You two, times have changed."
Li Changshou said calmly: "Next, this place will be presided over by His Majesty the Jade Emperor. , should the two of you avoid discussing the Taoist sect’s catastrophe and becoming a god?
After all, the catastrophe will be officially launched in the future, and the Western sect and the Taoist sect should be rivals. ”
The Western sect. The great saint closed his eyes and said nothing, but the young saint frowned and stared at the Jade Emperor, not even looking at Li Changshou, let alone throwing up his sleeves and leaving.
"What about me?"
Sage Nuwa asked with a smile.
Li Changshou suddenly showed a smile, bowed to Saint Nuwa, and said with a smile:
"Uncle, you are the Holy Mother of the human race. This great disaster started from the human race. We The human race is the protagonist of heaven and earth, and it is natural that Uncle Master should be there to supervise the whole process.
If Heavenly Court does anything wrong, please remind me in time. His Majesty the Jade Emperor also respects you."
"That's natural." The Jade Emperor stood up and bowed to Saint Nuwa, "Sister, if Heavenly Court behaves in the slightest wrong during this catastrophe, please point it out in time. ”
Nu Wa couldn’t help but smile and narrow her eyes, acting steadily in her position.
The monarch and his ministers sang in harmony, but it turned the situation where several saints were competing into chaos.
Tongtian Cult Leader sighed softly and said: "How do you want to sign this list of gods, senior brother?"
Yuanshi Tianzun stood up slowly, looked at Tongtian Cult Leader, and said calmly:
p>
"Everyone relies on his ability and luck. Let's talk about this later."
After saying this, he turned around and followed, Guangchengzi followed with his head lowered, his face calm and unmoved.
