It is also because Dragon Palace is rich and powerful and has enjoyed countless years in the world, so it doesn't feel bad to give gifts like this.
but…
Receive the gifts with my left hand, and give the gods with my right hand...
How does Li Changshou feel that he is so blunt that he has turned himself into a traitor in heaven who uses power for personal gain and sells officials to make money
He is a good minister!
In the back hall of the Sea God Temple, Li Changshou's old fairy skin paper Taoist swept away most of the treasure chests, and those pearls, agate and coral pearls, which are considered treasures in the mortal world, were reserved by him as rewards for his subordinates.
Afterwards, the Paper Taoist tidied up his makeup and headed towards the East China Sea on a cloud, starting the plan he had discussed with Ao Yi before—
Honghuang's first draft, ahem, god selection competition!
For this competition, the Dragon King of the Four Seas is the special guest, and the thirty-nine elders of the Dragon Clan are the judges. Mystery is complete, the Great God of the Four Seas, and Ao Yi, the forerunner of the Dragon Clan, are the "predecessors" of this competition.
As long as you are good enough, you can let the 'predecessors' turn around for you and give you the god position in heaven!
In this way, it seems that Dragon Palace attaches great importance to this matter, and Heavenly Court has gained face;
And because it was selected internally by the Dragon Clan, the Dragon Clan reduced their resistance;
By the way, you can also have fun with the dragon, ease the internal conflicts of the dragon clan, and increase the fun in the boring daily life of the dragon clan... and so on.
Li Changshou even thought of a slogan-'All dragons fight, the gods rush'!
Of course, this god selection competition itself is extremely opaque, the initial candidate has already been decided, and most dragons just watch the excitement.
By the way, the sixteen god positions have almost been divided, just go through a process to give the Heavenly Court and the Dragon Palace enough face.
In Li Changshou's impression, in his previous life...
Cough, let's get down to business.
Arriving in the East China Sea, before reaching the Dragon Palace, Ao Yi brought a large number of shrimp soldiers and crab generals to greet him.
According to Li Changshou's instructions, the venue was ready. It was in a side hall of the Crystal Palace, and various arrangements had been made inside.
The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas can only gather here tomorrow, and it will take about a dozen hours for the elders of the Dragon Clan to gather together...
Taking advantage of this gap, Li Changshou and Ao Yi began to formulate various detailed rules.
For example, the selected dragon son and dragon girl must have real talents and learning, not just singing and dancing softly, but must have a sense of responsibility and have feelings for the dragon family and the world.
There is no need for touching stories, everyone is from the second generation of the dragon, and no one will believe what they say about how miserable they are.
According to Li Changshou's request, several dragon craftsmen built six rotatable magical thrones on the spot, which will be used by the Dragon King of the Four Seas and their Sea God Sect duo later...
Li Changshou also found the Dragon Palace Musician Troupe that he had worked with before, and agreed with them on some details of playing the background music.
After finishing all this work, Li Changshou looked at this magnificent and somewhat empty hall, and thought for a while.
I always feel like something is missing...
The song and dance performance has been arranged, and this is what the Dragon Clan lacks most.
The master of ceremonies for the competition also chose a dragon princess named Suo Rui, who is slender, articulate, and will not misrepresent the contestant's name;
What is missing
Li Changshou pondered for a while, and soon his eyes lit up.
The audience, there is a lack of audience who can cry and laugh at will!
This matter is easy to solve. Although the overall acting skills of the Dragon Clan are not high, the Dragon Clan rules many Sea Clans. It is not difficult to choose some good-looking and emotional Sea Clan men and women to come and watch.
Li Changshou made a request, and Ao Yi carried it out immediately, and soon attracted hundreds of "spectators" from the Dragon and Sea tribes. Li Changshou gave him some guidance on the spot, asking them to perform some expressions in conjunction with the music.
How to be moved without being exaggerated, how to cheer without being harsh, is also very particular.
Just like that, after Li Changshou became the Golden Immortal, he tried his hand at a small test, and held a dragon god selection contest as the chief director and 'teacher'.
Although it's just a formality, this form is also considered a unique one.
Li Changshou also took this opportunity to formally meet with the Dragon King of the Four Seas...
Before the start of the competition, in the main hall of the Crystal Palace;
The four dragon-headed elders sat together on the high platform, and Li Changshou and Ao Yi were arranged to sit beside the high platform.
These four dragon-headed elders all have similar faces, but they are different in height, shortness, fatness and thinness.
The Dragon King of the East China Sea is the most majestic, but it also feels the most lazy;
The Dragon King of the North Sea is thinner, the Dragon King of the West Sea is slightly richer, and the Dragon King of the South Sea is the most loyal.
When Li Changshou came from the side hall, all the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas stood up to greet him;
When Li Changshou was seated, the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas also toasted with golden cups, which was enough for Li Changshou, the sea god...
Not only that, but the Dragon King of the Four Seas also spoke very nicely, and kept pouring confused soup on Li Changshou:
"My Dragon Palace can make good friends with the Heavenly Court, and get the God's throne bestowed by the Heavenly Court to solve the current predicament. It all depends on the mediation of the Taoist friends!"
— This is the praise of the Dragon King of the West Sea, that is, the Dragon King whose tent is mostly in the second and fifth years.
"From the perspective of heaven and earth, from ancient times to the present, the only person who can compare with the wisdom and strategy of the sea god is the Kunpeng demon master of the ancient demon court!"
——The Dragon King of the North Sea can boast as much as he can, so why is he still swearing
The Dragon King of the South China Sea was more happy, and said directly: "Drink this cup!"
Li Changshou picked up the wine bottle. He started to compliment in reverse, but with just a few words, he squinted and chuckled the four Dragon Lords, nodding constantly, secretly praising Sea God for his brilliance...
After a banquet, they were about to start [Choosing Dragons into God];
Li Changshou has arranged everything at this time, and after going through a process later, the Dragon Clan can get these low-level gods;
However, at this critical juncture, the Dragon King of the North Sea suddenly said:
"The selection of the Dragon Clan's children to the Heavenly Court God's Throne this time is something worthy of celebration.
In my view, the arrangement of the Sea God is very complete, and there will be no mistakes. Why don't we invite all the Taoist friends from the prehistoric period to come and be a witness. "
Li Changshou: ...
This is too... too shameful!
Seeing that the other three Dragon Kings were about to nod their heads, Li Changshou hurriedly said:
"Lord Dragon, in my poor way's opinion, this time the Heavenly Court rewards the post of patrolling the sea and protects the Dharma, not a high-level deity. Will such a big fanfare damage the reputation of the Dragon Clan?"
"No," said the Dragon King of the South Sea, "it should be handled."
The Dragon King of Beihai said with a smile: "Everyone in the prehistoric world knows the plight of our Dragon Clan, so why not take this opportunity to let them know that we have made good friends with the Heavenly Court."
"Good," the Dragon King of the East China Sea nodded slowly, making a final conclusion on the matter.
Li Changshou frowned slightly, thinking about the pros and cons of this matter.
Dragon Palace took the initiative to publicize this matter, in fact, it is a disguised form to promote the power of Heaven, and it is also an announcement that Dragon Palace has fallen to Heaven, and it will give Heaven a sense of existence;
For me, this is a good thing in itself, which is equivalent to earning credit while lying down.
Cough, [sitting] earned the credit!
It is these designs that I have a tendency to spoof, and I have to show them to masters other than the Dragon Clan, especially since I have to sit on the throne that can spray white mist, and keep turning around...
The shame was overwhelming.
As a result, the Dragon Palace Competition was postponed for half a month, and the Dragon Clan began to distribute invitations widely, inviting experts from all walks of life to come and watch the ceremony.
Li Changshou was worried that there would be some pawns from Western sects coming in, so he had to make some arrangements, so as not to be messed up by them...
But even Li Changshou didn't expect it to be turned into a grand event of the Dragon Clan!
Half a month later, the main hall of the Crystal Palace was overcrowded, and there were still countless figures gathered in front of the hall.
When Li Changshou pressed the red button in front of him and turned around for a dragon in the scattered white mist...
The big thigh master who was hiding in the dark, and Uncle Zhao Zhao Gongming all laughed and turned over, and the masters who were invited by the Dragon Clan to be distinguished guests, such as Master Huanglong and Jinao Island Shitianjun, squinted their eyes and smiled lightly.
And the heavenly general Hua Ritian, who was mixed among the heavenly generals in [Protection Edict], and Dong Mugong who was holding the decree beside the VIP table;
Yun Zhongzi, the golden fairy of Fude who came to watch the ceremony with Master Huanglong, and the immortal Chanjiao who had preached the name of Sea God in many places in Yuxu Palace;
There are also dozens of Jiejiao immortals who are idle on Jinao Island...
All showed expressions of admiration.
The name of Poseidon being able to play has been spread throughout the prehistoric world since then, and people talk about it with great delight.
…
Although the process was a bit embarrassing, under Li Changshou's single-handed arrangement, the sixteen low-level gods were issued smoothly;
Half of the selected Dragon Clan disciples are the nephews of the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, and half are Dragon Clan heroes with innocence and outstanding abilities.
With the gift of the gods, the karma from the heavens was offset, and all the sixteen dragon sons and daughters made breakthroughs.
Later, when they were going to patrol the world, Li Changshou also gave them some advice, telling them to do good deeds and accumulate virtue, to help the souls in distress, to promote the prestige of the heavenly court, and not to do things that increase karma.
These sixteen dragons are now under Li Changshou's subordinates, and Li Changshou can deprive them of their god positions at any time.
After the decree was announced, Li Changshou, Duke Dongmu, and the generals of the Heavenly Court left on their own, and the excitement in the sea had nothing to do with them.
Li Changshou took the opportunity to change a paper Taoist back to Heaven, and the replaced paper Taoist secretly left the East China Sea Dragon Palace and waited on a small island for a while.
A cloud of mist suddenly appeared in the sea. Youdao's barely slender figure stepped out of the mist and walked on the sea.
It is the Great Master Xuandu.
The archmage smiled and said, "How is the realm consolidated?"
"It's safe now," Li Changshou said with a bow, and said with a smile, "Thank you Archmage for protecting the disciple."
The archmage suddenly smiled and narrowed his eyes, and asked a little narrowly: "Do you want to thank me for protecting the law for you, or thank me for finding a person who protects the law for you?"
Li Changshou: ...
"Great Master, about Fairy Yunxiao, this disciple is really a little... well, caught off guard."
Master Xuandu smiled without saying a word, he didn't make any jokes, but said: "It's rare for me to come down this time, come with me, I may have to retreat in Tushita Palace for a while later."
Li Changshou said: "Major Master, please rest assured, this disciple will definitely not cause trouble for others."
"That's wrong," said the archmage with a smile. "What's trouble? If it's something I can't solve, it's trouble.
The time for the Dragon Clan to go to heaven is gradually ripening, so you don't have to worry about taking action.
Since Laojun has passed down the way of alchemy, you are considered half of the teacher's disciple at this time, if someone insults you, it will be a disgrace to the teacher.
It's good to be cautious, but if you are too cautious and the teacher thinks you are timid, it is not beautiful. "
Li Changshou bowed deeply, "Disciple obeys the teachings of Great Master!"
"Good," the archmage nodded with a smile, waved his hands gently to Li Changshou, and walked with Li Changshou in the East China Sea. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he taught Li Changshou the Tao of Taiqing and the magic of nature.
Unknowingly, half a day passed, and the archmage felt divorced, and told Li Changshou a few more words...
At this moment, Li Changshou's heart suddenly surged, and his spiritual thoughts swept across the main temple of Anshui City, and he frowned slightly.
The archmage smiled and said, "But what's the secret? But it doesn't matter."
"Great Master, there should be no problem with the disciple Dao Body.
There is a boy riding a crane to my Sea God Temple..."
"Oh?" the Archmage laughed, "The boy riding the crane? What do you want
Forget it, I'll send you this avatar there, let's watch the fun again. "
After the words fell, the archmage took Li Changshou's wrist and took a step forward.
Li Changshou only felt the light and shadows around him quickly flow, appearing again, and he was already in the sky of Anshui City in the South China Sea.
This is the method of escape from the universe!
Li Changshou looked down and saw a boy sitting on a crane, floating in front of the Sea God Hall.
The boy had delicate features, and sat cross-legged on the back of the crane, with his arms folded, his eyes closed, and there was a sense of arrogance in his brows.
There were many pilgrims watching around, and some old ladies boasted such words as 'this child is so handsome', which made the boy a little impatient.
Li Changshou smiled and said, "Master, disciples, go and deal with one or two."
"good."
The archmage pinched his fingers to calculate, but he had figured out the boy's origin, so he raised his eyebrows slightly.
But Li Changshou's Paper Taoist hid his whereabouts, drove a cloud and landed in the back hall of the Sea God Temple, and then walked around to the front hall with a whisk, smiling forward.
At this time, all the pilgrims knew that this was the incarnation of the Sea God, and they bowed and knelt down to pay homage...
The boy opened his eyes, his eyes were a little cold, and he said indifferently: "Fellow Taoist is the sea god?"
"That's right," Li Changshou said with a smile, "I don't know who you are, so why come here?"
The boy said again: "My master wants to see you, let you show yourself, and come with me quickly."
Hearing this, most of the mortal pilgrims below, more than a dozen or so Sea God Sect's envoys showed unkind expressions.
This child, how could he talk to their sea god
Li Changshou frowned when he heard the words, to be on the safe side, first ask who the master the boy was talking about, and then drive the impolite boy out of this place with a whisk.
—The other party is already putting on the face of others, and I have to deal with it.
Li Changshou said coldly: "I don't know who your master is, and why did you ask me to meet him?"
"Hmph, listen to me when I say it, don't let me repeat it a second time!
my lord—
Since ancient times, the attainment of the Tao and the manifestation of the spirit have been the same as the six sages.
Discussing the Tao with the saints shows the true meaning, and now sits in the Yuxu Palace.
The Twelve Golden Immortals are called the masters, and they have the great supernatural powers of Taoism.
Dao fire is burning in Yuanjue Cave, and there are bright lights in Lingjiu Mountain! "
Li Changshou's expression suddenly changed, he flicked the whisk in his hand, and said:
"Please do not send."
