At Dongtianmen, Li Changshou sat on the back of Jin Peng and hurried back, revealing the water god's power weapon that could not be faked.
The generals were stunned for a moment, and then they all moved forward to greet him.
"Xingjun!"
"Xingjun, you are finally back!"
"Meet Xingjun!"
Scene There was some confusion, but Li Changshou did not answer. His face was tense, he nodded to several generals, and his figure flashed into the East Tianmen.
Because Taozu sent an invitation letter to "raise the army to investigate the crime", Li Changshou did not dare to delay any longer, so he had to say goodbye to Yunxiao in a hurry.
Uncle Zhao saw Li Changshou's anxious expression and didn't ask any questions. He just made an appointment to have a drink together later and went to Sanxian Island for a walk.
Taozu asked him to go to Zixiao Palace to teach him a lesson, so he couldn’t tell Yunxiao, lest she worry too much.
After all, Yun Xiao already knew a lot at this time, and he also knew about the existence of Senior Lang.
After entering the East Heaven Gate, Li Changshou did not conceal his aura. Instead, he took the initiative to spread his Taoist charm and flew towards the nine heavens in a swagger.
You can fly as fast as you can;
You can make as much noise as you can.
From the deepest part of the Nine Heavens, you can find the path to Zixiao Palace.
——The premise is that Zixiao Palace wants to be found.
Li Changshou’s figure turned into a daytime comet, shooting straight into the deepest part of the sky!
Full of urgency.
When he decided to let Kunpeng swallow the Hongmeng Purple Qi, Li Changshou had already thought of various subsequent scenarios.
It is taboo to stabilize the education without making any moves.
The main reason that prompted Li Changshou to make up his mind to fight against the will of Dao Ancestor and Heavenly Dao at this time, and not to accept this wisp of Hongmeng Purple Qi, was that he was sure that he would not be punished for rejecting the Purple Qi. Heaven kills.
The reason for this is very complicated to explain, but it can be simply understood as——
He is still useful.
Therefore, Li Changshou knew at that time that after he dealt with Hongmeng Ziqi and Kunpeng and returned to the wilderness, he would most likely suffer a wave of punishment.
The most serious situation is actually the coming of divine punishment. The Taoist Patriarch did not give himself any warning, so he severely injured himself as a warning to others.
This time when Zixiao Palace summoned him, Grandmaster Dao seemed to be very angry, but a closer look at these two sentences gave him enough room to move.
The implicit meaning of Dao Zuyan's words was to ask him to find a suitable reason to make everyone look good.
Rejecting the Hongmeng Purple Qi means refusing to be bound to the way of heaven;
In today’s prehistoric world, the nature of this matter can be very bad, or it can be turned into a big deal and a trivial one. In the end it was settled.
If I cannot give an answer that satisfies Tiandao and Master Daozu today, my subsequent series of plans will be affected.
This is not a game, but a choice made by Li Changshou.
Li Changshou does not think that he is now qualified to compete with Tiandao and Daozu. He is still far behind in all aspects.
Flying to the ninth level, Li Changshou suddenly realized.
The message contained in that wisp of Hongmeng Purple Qi, that is, the robbery of Zhao Gongming, was most likely added to the Hongmeng Purple Qi by Dao Ancestor at the moment when Kunpeng swallowed him and Hongmeng Purple Qi. .
Is this a warning to yourself?
Li Changshou couldn't determine the specifics at this time. He could only look at the intensity of Dao Ancestor's next punishment and what he said to himself.
Hmm...
It would be best not to have such a humiliating incident like being slapped on the buttocks by Heaven's Punishment. He should go to Zixiao Palace by himself this time, so there is no need. Call someone else to see.
"Chang Geng!"
A cry suddenly came from his ears. Li Changshou stopped and turned around to look, only to see the Jade Emperor incarnate on a cloud coming from the side. There was a bit of worry in his eyes.
Obviously, Tsuen Tong really understands this time.
This place was surrounded by misty clouds, and there was no one around. Li Changshou made a bow and said with a smile, "Why are you here?"
"I'm waiting for you." With a serious look on his face, Quan Dong asked proactively, "Do you want me to accompany you to Zixiao Palace?"
After saying this, Quan Dong also winked at Li Changshou.
Li Changshou smiled and said: "Master summoned me, it should be just a few words of admonishment, Your Majesty, you don't have to worry.
Oh, it was the little god who was impatient at the time. He didn't expect Hongmeng to really be there. Purple Qi suddenly appeared in the world, and he was eager to catch up, but almost let Kunpeng go.
In the end, there was no way to separate Hongmeng Purple Qi from Kunpeng's soul.
< p>I was careless.""That's fine."
Quantong said with a smile: "When you get to Zixiao Palace, you should admit your mistakes. Master Daozu will not be as magnanimous as you.
Everywhere in the court is facing trouble. It’s really hard to do without you.
Don’t contradict Mr. Dao Zu. ”
Li Changshou. How could I not know that this was the Jade Emperor expressing his attitude towards Daozu for his own sake.
With warmth in his heart, Li Changshou bowed and bowed deeply to Tsuen Tong, turned around and continued walking towards Jiutian.
I may not be able to live in this world, but it is enough to comfort me if I can find a few close friends.
Quantong raised his head and stared at Li Changshou's back for a while, then sighed, and the figure fell back to the Heavenly Palace.
At the same time, on Sanxian Island, Yunxiao stood on a beach on Xiandao Island.
Having put on her own long skirt, she folded the Taoist robe, put it on her arm, and quietly stared at the northwest sky.
There was a bit of worry in his eyes.
Behind her, Qiongxiao Bixiao and several fairies practicing on the island were arranging the wine fairy fruits to help her receive the wind and wash away the dust.
"Brother," Qiong Xiao raised his hand and bumped Zhao Gongming's arm, and asked in a voice: "What's wrong with sister?"
Zhao Gongming stroked his beard and groaned softly, and said with a smile: "I must be missing my loved one. After all, we have been together for decades before, and it is normal for us to be a little uncomfortable when we are suddenly separated."
Qiong Xiao frowned when she heard this, and she was sitting on the futon kneeling with a bit of worry in her eyes.
"Brother, you said..."
"What did you say?"
Qiong Xiao asked in a voice: "My sister married to the White House, and I and Si Will my sister come with you?"
"Well," Zhao Gongming couldn't answer for a moment, "it's up to you to discuss it, but that will be after the catastrophe. You can go wherever you want, without so many restrictions."
"Oh, I hope."
Qiong Xiao smacked her lips, "I don't want to go anyway. , so as not to be gossiped about."
Zhao Gongming chuckled twice and didn't say much about it.
Bixiao called out softly from the side, Yunxiao turned around and floated over, his expression returned to its usual cold expression.
But I don’t know if it was Zhao Gongming’s misunderstanding, but Yunxiao seemed to be gentler than before, her beautiful eyes were like water, and she spoke a little more than usual, which made Qiongxiao and Bixiao feel quite uncomfortable. Admire.
The topic of the immortals cannot avoid the current calamity.
Yunxiao specifically told several fairies on the island not to go out and walk around in the past few hundred years. If they had the idea of going out on a whim or for no reason, it would probably be caused by a calamity operation.
The fairies agreed wholeheartedly, whether they would listen or not was a matter of course.
Han Zhi sighed: "I don't know if my master's reincarnation will be affected by this catastrophe."
"That black panther?"
Qiong Xiao held the luminous cup next to her little face and said with a smile: "The catastrophe this time is for Jie, Chan, and Dongfang, and it has nothing to do with him.
Don't do it. Overthinking it, he is no longer the same person after reincarnation."
"Yes," Han Zhi agreed, but she still had this concern in her heart.
"By the way, brother," Qiong Xiao casually threw up a grape, opened her mouth to catch it accurately, and said casually, "A few years ago, Senior Sister Jin Ling seemed to have accepted a disciple, named Wen or something. , took him to Biyou Palace for training."
"Oh?"
Zhao Gongming asked with a smile: "Male disciple or female disciple?" The male disciple, I heard, is quite handsome."
Teng!
Zhao Gongming’s figure disappeared in an instant, and he left a few words to go to Biyou Palace to pay homage to his master, leaving a trace of ripples in the universe.
Qiong Xiao blinked and muttered: "Are all disciples so guarded?"
Yunxiao thought for a moment and said: "Brother doesn't have much confidence in his heart, maybe with Jin Senior Sister Ling has always been unwilling to talk about their affairs publicly."
Bixiao whispered: "Let Chang Geng, Junior Brother, and Junior Brother come up with ideas. Junior Brother Chang Geng has so many ideas."
"I'm afraid he's going to face a problem right now," Yun Xiao glanced at the sky, "Let's figure this out, don't bother.Disturbing him.
I will go talk to Senior Sister Jin Ling later to see what concerns Senior Sister Jin Ling has.
Okay, don’t say this behind your back. Have you gained anything from your recent practice and enlightenment? ”
The Great Fairy Yunxiao took advantage of the situation and transformed into a stern teacher. The two little fairies turned their mouths into bitter faces, complained a few words, and began to show the results of their recent practice.
The living beings Everyone's sorrows and joys have their own reasons, and the joys and sorrows in the world are not the same;
Except for homework, it is all life.
Outside the sky, the Purple Sky Palace. .
A stream of light flew out of the dense clouds directly below the Zixiao Palace, transforming into Li Changshou's original appearance, holding the front skirt of his Taoist robe and climbing up the stairs in front of the palace.
His face was red, his forehead was sweaty, and his eyes were a bit uneasy.
Before he reached the front of the hall, he lowered his head, closed his eyes, cleared his throat, and then ran quickly to the end. He rushed up more than ten steps into the empty hall of Zixiao Palace.
"Disciple Li Changshou is here to ask for punishment! ”
His voice echoed back and forth in the palace, and the figure stopped behind the palace door stood quietly, maintaining the posture of bowing, motionless.
This stop is Three hours.
A little cold sweat broke out on Li Changshou's forehead, and the cold sweat was directly evaporated by him;
The Adam's apple trembled irregularly, as if there was something he could ask for at any time. He was like a ferocious beast.
A little too nervous, but there was no trace of acting.
Until a sneer came from the front: "Why, Mr. Taibai Xing." Turned into wood? What's the pestle doing there? "
Li Changshou quickly buried his head lower, cupped his hands and said: "Until the master summons me, the disciples dare not move forward. ”
“Don’t dare? "
The voice suddenly became a little more angry and cursed: "What else do you dare not do! ”
Li Changshou’s legs softened, and he knelt on the floor filled with starlight and hidden Dao marks, without saying a word.
In the hall, Dao Ancestor’s extra-large size On the futon, the burly old Taoist slowly 'grew' out in the stream of light, and cursed angrily:
"If you don't like the Hongmeng Purple Qi I gave you, you can change it and find someone else." The Taoist disciples accepted.
He also tried his best to pass it on to Kunpeng!
You don’t know what kind of person Kunpeng is? "
Li Changshou hurriedly said: "This disciple has never had such thoughts! That day when Kunpeng attacked, the disciple suddenly saw that wisp of true Hongmeng Purple Qi, and immediately lost control.
The Hongmeng Purple Qi is of great importance. This is an opportunity for sainthood and a chance for living beings to transcend. The disciples were afraid that the Purple Qi would be taken away by those Demon Ancestor generals, so they put the matter of Kunpeng aside!
In order to surround and kill Kunpeng, the disciples had already invited Master Tongtian. At that time, in order to protect the wisp of Hongmeng Purple Qi, they even violated their promise to the saint Master! ”
Daozu Hongjun was silent for a while.He stared at Li Changshou who was kneeling in front of the palace door, and said calmly:
"You really have never planned such a plan?"
"Master Mingjian," Li Changshou sighed. , "You know my disciple's temperament. You must plan everything before you act. You will never take action without greater certainty.
I don't know what happened at that time, but the Hongmeng Purple Qi suddenly appeared, just like the disciple The fake purple energy was designed at about the same time.
The disciple initially admitted his mistake, but it was not until the incarnation of His Majesty the Jade Emperor reminded him that he woke up from a dream. Without thinking about anything, he hurriedly took action to protect one of the few opportunities for sainthood in the world. This should be our Taoist sect’s opportunity. What if it is snatched away by those powerful people?”
” Ha."
You mean, the poor Taoist should reward you?"
"The disciple dare not ask for a reward!"
Li Changshou buried his head again and said loudly: "Disciple just did his duty as a Taoist disciple. Without Taoism, there would be no disciples!"
"In this case, I will ask you again," The power around Dao Ancestor was even greater, "That Kunpeng, why didn't you kill him even though you could?"
"This, this...
It's just because the disciple promised Uncle Tongtian before, Please ask Uncle Tongtian to intercept Kunpeng, but the condition is that Kunpeng will not kill him first and leave it to Uncle Tongtian to play with." "Then why do you insist on asking Tongtian to take action? Do you want to save Kunpeng's life?"
“Master Mingjian, without the help of Master Tongtian, the disciple’s grasp of the entire plan is not even 97%.
Only with Master Tongtian’s help, the disciple would have 90% certainty. Chengba's grasp trapped Kunpeng!"
"Huh?"
Li Changshou felt a flash of light in front of him and looked up, only to see Dao Zu standing in front of him with a gloomy expression. .
This time I really shivered.
"Boy, repeat what you just said."
"Only if the leader of Tongtian takes action, 98% of the disciples will be..."
Crack!
Purple lightning burst out, the entire Zixiao Palace was filled with lightning, and the three thousand avenues were trembling slightly.
A moment later, Li Changshou lay on the ground with his whole body charred and black, his cheek pressed against the smooth ground of Zixiao Palace, he opened his mouth and sprayed out a small white soul with several whorls on the top of his head.
Daozu sat back on his futon, looking at Li Changshou in front of the palace in a relaxed mood, and even hummed a pleasant tune.
"It doesn't feel good to hit someone, but it's different to hit you. Come here, you have dealt with this matter."
Li Changshou jumped up like a carp with his butt raised. , grinned at Daozu, revealing a pair of big white teeth on his dark face, adding a bit of simplicity.
"Thank you Master for your magnanimity and not caring about the disciple's loss of Hongmeng Purple Qi."
Daozu snorted and said coldly: "This matter is not over yet, you Why not bring Kunpeng back to the wild world?? "
"The disciple is mainly worried about the image of Heavenly Court," Li Changshou said hurriedly, "Kunpeng is a great evil in ancient times. If the disciples are subdued, the reputation of Tianting may directly collapse. ”
“Famous in heaven? "
Daozu said coldly: "I think you have taken advantage of your fellow villagers and used Kunpeng as your escape route. "
"This..."
Li Changshou's thoughts changed sharply, and he lowered his head and said: "Master, don't blame me, this is my disciple's temperament, I am afraid of death to a certain level. ”
“You still know! ”
“I am aware of this shortcoming of my disciple,” Li Changshou said hurriedly, “Master, please rest assured that this disciple will definitely stand firmly on the side of Heaven and will not be influenced by other people’s words. Influence. "
"Actually, it doesn't matter," Daozu looked a little lonely and said calmly: "When your fellow countryman was wiped out, I saw his memory, and I also know what he left behind.
I thought that he would leave the wilderness with Kunpeng knowing that he was bound to lose, but he didn't expect...
He came back after all. "
Li Changshou did not answer, but stood quietly.
But Daozu asked: "Chang Geng, how much do you know about this matter?" ”
“In fact, I don’t know much about this. I can probably guess some corners. "
Li Changshou wiped his face and said seriously: "The past has passed. Learning history is to learn lessons from history, not to laugh at the ancients to satisfy the so-called vanity."
Master, judging from the clues left by that senior, he also knew that he was crazy and wrong. ”
“There is no right or wrong in the world, it’s just that what you want is different. "
Taozu sighed softly, glanced at Li Changshou a few times, and then relaxed.
The scorched black around Li Changshou faded away, and the damage to the Taoist robes also healed on its own.
Taoist Hongjun said slowly: "I actually have my own selfish motives and desires.
God Pangu once said that if you want to transcend, you need to give up yourself. Therefore, after God Pangu returned to heaven and earth, he was already in a state of no self and nothing, which can be regarded as his own transcendence.
Chang Geng, Pindao...
I know you have your own opinion and your own ideas, but now in this world, there are only a few steps left to establish a stable order. , you are the most suitable candidate.
You don’t have to be burdened, and you don’t have to think about it. I can make you a promise.
After you help heaven establish the order of the three realms, if you want to be free and easy between heaven and earth, I will allow you to be unrestrained. You are self-disciplined and self-loving, this is what I am most satisfied with.
If you want to embark on the road to find your hometown, or want to escape from the world and practice cultivation, then I will also tell Haotian so that he does not need to stay with you.
How? ”
Li Changshou was deliberately startled for a moment, then his face became joyful, and he lowered his head and made a deep bow.
"Disciple, thank you Master for your love! I really don't know how to repay you!"
"Okay, don't engage in such hypocrisy," Daozu Hongjun waved his hand, "Remember my last time As I said to you, go back.
That ray of Hongmeng Purple Qi was swallowed by Kunpeng, and the ninth Hongmeng Purple Qi is not in my hands, so I have no intention of giving it to you.
Assist Heavenly Court well and complete the matter of becoming a god."
"Yes!"
Li Changshou firmly agreed, bowed his head and took more than ten steps back. , then turned around and headed towards the palace door.
After walking hundreds of steps, the palace gate was already in front of him. Li Changshou suddenly heard a cry from behind him:
"Chang Geng, deep down in your heart, am I like this? "
Li Changshou subconsciously turned his head to look, and his heart trembled slightly.
But I saw Daozu sitting on the futon, with a faint sneer at the corner of his mouth, his face gloomy and indescribably ferocious and cold, and the cold light in his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the heart of humanity.
Li Changshou pursed his lips and whispered: "Master, you scared the disciples."
"Go ahead," Daozu wiped his face with a cold expression His face disappeared and returned to his usual spring breeze, "Don't think too much."
"Yes."
Li Changshou lowered his head and walked out of the main hall of Zixiao Palace, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then He quickly turned into a look of lingering fear, lowered his head and climbed down the stairs.
