Leaving Lingxiao Palace and on the way back to Sea God Mansion, Li Changshou squinted and smiled.
It's a good feeling for a fake public benefit...
No, no, what is good for both public and private, how can it be called false public benefit
Looking at the picture of Dayu's flood control shining with golden light in his sleeves, Li Changshou immediately felt relieved.
Directly save yourself a large sum of merit!
This treasure only needs a little sacrificial training later, and it can become an acquired best merit and virtue spirit treasure with both offense and defense!
And according to Li Changshou's calculation, as long as he completes the survey of rivers, lakes and seas, the Heavenly Dao will confer merits and virtues, and this treasure may be upgraded again!
So when he left Lingxiao Palace just now, Li Changshou felt somewhat...
I'm not very embarrassed.
The 12-year Dragon Harvesting Plan has been fully launched, and Li Changshou has already arranged the things that should be arranged.
Next, he will not do everything personally, after going to explain and stop teaching, he will go to the Dragon Palace to say hello to the Dragon King of the East China Sea, and then he will travel to Nanzhou on a boat with public funds, waiting for the peach feast to start.
Whether this solution is the most effective is debatable.
But for Li Changshou, this is the most stable plan, and it is also the plan for him not to offend both sides...
After returning to the Sea God's Mansion, Li Changshou placed the Heavenly Emperor's Devil Slayer Sword in the most conspicuous position in the main hall, and bowed again.
Afterwards, he moved a rocking chair, basking in the sun in the sky, waiting for Dong Mugong to send the flat peaches.
One day the general brought tea, and the fairy from Yaochi brought the fruit plate rewarded by the Queen Mother. Li Changshou just enjoyed it leisurely...
Although the paper Taoist tasted these, the taste was slightly lacking, but in the end, he had to make a show.
If I didn't have so many Paper Daoists and my real body was in this position, life in Heaven would be extremely leisurely, comfortable, and boring.
Speaking of the queen mother, since Li Changshou went to heaven, he has never seen the real face of this queen.
- In fact, Li Changshou avoided it on purpose and never visited the Queen Mother.
avoid arousing suspicion
This is not necessary.
Li Changshou is not yet confident that he can be misunderstood by others with his old paper man. He doesn't even get in touch with female fairies on weekdays, and at most he just jokes with the generals.
Not going to visit the Queen Mother was because Li Changshou was worried that the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother would have conflicts over the "heavenly power".
The Queen Mother and the Jade Emperor are almost at the same foot, and the Taoist ancestor let the two of them take charge of the heaven;
In name, the authority of the Queen Mother is not under the Jade Emperor.
Now, Li Changshou doesn't understand the relationship between the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, but the power of heaven is gathered in the hands of the Jade Emperor, and the Queen Mother only practices in Yaochi.
Therefore, if you take the initiative to visit the Queen Mother, there is a risk of being misunderstood by the Jade Emperor; if you don't visit the Queen Mother, you will not lose anything.
Comparing the two, take the lightest of oneself, and the core highlights a word of stability.
With these thoughts in his mind, Li Changshou chuckled, and the old fairy paper Taoist closed his eyes and meditated there.
Listening to the wind, there are whispers outside the wall, there are also the orderly footsteps of the heavenly soldiers when they are patrolling, and the light laughter of fairies on an unknown fairy mountain in the distance.
The sound is in the ear, but not in the heart.
Going to see the person in charge of the teaching affairs of the two religions is actually going to see Guangchengzi and Daoist Duobao.
Jujiao's side is good to see, and Chanjiao's side also has a deputy leader of the lamp, so I have to prepare in advance to avoid being made things difficult by the other party.
Li Changshou had heard from Duke Dongmu before that because there were not many guests in the previous flat peach banquet in Heavenly Court, the remaining flat peaches in the treasure house of Yaochi were very serious. Many flat peaches would turn into spiritual energy and dissipate after a thousand years, causing a serious waste.
Therefore, Heavenly Court should not be stingy to give gifts to the two sects of interpretation and interception this time.
'And how should I hint to Your Majesty that we also want to eat some peaches? '
Although flat peaches are not very useful by themselves, it is definitely beneficial for masters, younger sisters, uncles, ancestors, and wives-to-be to take flat peaches.
After the younger sister flew out of the customs, it was quite appropriate to buy some flat peaches and go back to celebrate.
Thinking like this, Li Changshou focused on two things, with a small part of his mind staying in the Heavenly Court Sea God's Mansion, and most of his mind returning to his body.
Immortal Consciousness checked all over the mountain gate carefully again, and made sure that everything was normal and there were no evil spirits, so he looked away with peace of mind.
At this moment, a beautiful figure flew out of Potian Peak and came towards Xiaoqiong Peak.
She is stepping on colorful clouds, wearing an ice blue elegant long dress, her long hair is not combed at the temples, but is just tied up in a simple ponytail, her jade face is so beautiful when it is cold, and people can't help but subconsciously think, what will she look like when she smiles? looks like.
"Doesn't poisonous people have to retreat?"
Li Changshou was also a little puzzled.
I just helped her deal with her inner demons, and at this moment, when she should be feeling a lot of emotions, why did she go out for a walk
Could it be that there is still depression in my heart
"Forget it, help people to the end, pit Buddha pit to the west."
Li Changshou sighed softly, took the initiative to go out, stood outside the alchemy room, closed all the big formations, and waited quietly for Qin Xuanya to fly over.
Youqin Xuanya, who was going directly to the chess and card room, saw Li Changshou's figure, and Bai Yun immediately turned a corner under his feet, and landed straight towards the alchemy room...
When she lightly jumped down from the clouds, the hem of her skirt fluttered slightly, and her jade feet were flawless, which was quite seductive.
"Brother Longevity."
Xuanya clasped her fists in both hands to salute, her thin lips pursed slightly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, those eyes were clearer than the starry night sky, telling the peace and joy in her heart.
"Young Master Qin," Li Changshou cupped his hands to return the salute, and said with a smile, "Have you encountered any difficulties in your cultivation recently?"
Youqin Xuanya groaned softly, nodded seriously, with a slightly ashamed face...
Ashamed... ashamed
"I've let senior brother down," Youqin Xuanya's pretty face was full of sadness, "When I was practicing myself, I was almost taken advantage of by the demons in my heart. Although my Taoist heart has been stabilized at this time, it's so real..."
Li Changshou smiled and said: "It's just a demon, most of the qi refiners of my generation have to go through it, so don't worry about it.
On the contrary, junior sister, you should reflect on why there is a gap in your Dao heart, so as to avoid being taken advantage of by your heart demons. "
"Xuan Ya has memorized what Senior Brother Changshou said."
Youqin Xuanya looked up at Li Changshou, and said in a low voice, "Can you walk on the mountain with me? I have a few doubts, which are also related to the gap in the Dao Heart, and I want to ask the teacher brother."
Li Changshou: ...
She shouldn't, want to share her demon experience with herself
That's true.
Li Changshou and Youqin Xuanya strolled casually in the mountains and forests outside Danfang, and heard Youqin Xuanya tell the general situation of the inner demon.
Even, she didn't want to lie, endured her shyness, and talked about how the "longevity senior brother" who turned into a demon in her heart, practiced happily.
The very vegetarian kind.
"Brother Changshou," Youqin Xuanya turned her head to look at Li Changshou's profile, and asked softly, "Xuanya is unclear about something.
That demon once acted rudely towards Xuan Ya, specifically, that demon moved forward..."
"It doesn't need to be specific!"
Li Changshou interrupted Youqin Xuanya's narration, and said with a smile: "I probably understand the problem.
The life of double cultivation that the junior and younger sisters yearn for is to practice together, talk together, wandering in the clouds and wild cranes, playing the piano and playing Xiao, and walking the road of longevity together.
This is actually the matter of Taoist companions that many qi refiners think in their hearts. It is quiet and elegant, very good. "
Youqin Xuanya blinked, and said in a low voice: "Senior brother, Xuanya didn't want to ask this..."
Li Changshou smiled and said, "What is that?"
"Um… "
Youqin Xuanya thought for a while, lightly clasping her thin lips with her bright teeth, her eyes rippling under her brows, accompanied by the gentle breeze blowing from the forest, she said softly:
"I asked Master just now, and Master said that the demons in the heart are actually Xuan Ya's obsessions.
Xuanya also asked Benxin, but she was still a little confused, so she came to her senior brother to find an answer. "
"Well," Li Changshou said seriously, "Junior Sister, if you say so, if I can give you the answer, I will give it to you."
"Then... um..."
Youqin Xuanya groaned softly, with her hands hanging in front of her body, fingers interlaced.
There is a deer jumping lightly in my heart, and I only count words after a moment.
Li Changshou waited patiently, and finally heard Youqin Xuanya say:
"Brother Changshou... Xuanya may... have some thoughts about you that are different from your partner in cultivation..."
Li Changshou couldn't help putting his hand on his forehead.
Could it be that she took the act of the demon stretching out the 'An Lushan Claw' as her inner obsession
This makes sense, but it's just, cough, it's just Li Changshou's drastic means to scare her.
Moreover, in the realm of mind and illusion, he was really just putting on a show, and he didn't do anything beyond the bottom line!
What should I do...
Like coaxing a child, telling her that thinking like this is wrong and impure, making her blame herself and feel guilty
This is too unreasonable.
Li Changshou considered his words, raised his head with his hands behind his back, and looked at the white clouds in the sky through the gap in the forest.
He said softly:
"Junior Sister, before you and I cultivated, we were all mortals.
Mortals are weak and need to reproduce to maintain the stability of the group and to extend their own blood.
Therefore, some things are written into the blood, including the matter of human reproduction.
The thoughts that appear in your heart are actually very normal. If Jin Xian is not heartless, how can he be without desire? So, you don't have to feel ashamed and feel that you are not pure enough.
Desire, emotion, heart, etc. are all part of oneself. Learning to control, face and overcome is also a way of practice. "
Youqin Xuanya listened intently, thought carefully, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The knot was indeed untied.
Li Changshou smiled and said: "Besides, Junior Sister, your thoughts are indeed very simple.
For example, do you know how a mortal couple should act in order to have an heir? "
Youqin Xuanya immediately replied:
"Xuan Ya read it in a book, it is said that the yin and yang should meet to conceive life.
In general, the two sat facing each other, with their palms touching together, each of them circulated their mana and immortal power, guided by the original yin and yang qi, condensed the spiritual qi, and returned it to the woman's belly. "
Several question marks appeared on Li Changshou's forehead, "Who taught you this? This is a misunderstanding."
Youqin Xuanya blinked in confusion, bowed to Li Changshou, and said seriously:
"Also ask Senior Brother Changshou to teach me!"
"I teach!"
Li Changshou couldn't help blushing, and hurriedly said: "You should ask your master about this, or ask Ling'e, Uncle Wine Master and the others.
You and I are different between men and women, which cannot be easily taught. "
Youqin Xuanya couldn't help but become more puzzled, but Li Changshou took the initiative to change the subject and began to talk about the "graduation destination" of his students in the same period.
Youqin Xuanya is the contemporary chief disciple of Duxianmen, so there is naturally concern about this matter, and Li Changshou easily distracted him.
Half an hour later, with the doubt in her heart, she turned back to Potian Peak.
Li Changshou wiped the hot sweat from his brow, and sighed silently in his heart, wondering if he should write a memorial to His Majesty the Jade Emperor, specifically to engage in prehistoric enlightenment education
There should be a lot of merit... probably.
"Put your palms together, sit cross-legged, tsk, thanks to you for being able to figure it out."
Li Changshou shook his head, and returned to the alchemy room with a buoyant figure.
Then again, when the Taoist ancestor established the heavenly court and the saints determined the major events of the world, the Nuwa sage relied on the innate spiritual treasure red hydrangea to determine the major events of marriage, and established the three marriages of heaven, earth and people.
Heavenly Marriage refers to the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother. This pair of brothers and sisters set an example and became a model for marriage in the three realms. However, because the Heavenly Court is relatively weak, it does not have much influence, and the marriage template is written into the Heavenly Way.
Since then, the various ethnic groups have determined the etiquette of marriage and marriage.
Unlike the witches and humans in ancient times, they mainly relied on tribal gatherings to find targets. The custom at that time was that women would launch a surprise attack, and they would go up to any man they liked, knock them unconscious and carry them back to their tents.
When Li Changshou saw this custom in ancient books, he couldn't help but have some associations.
If there is a handsome guy in any tribe who causes women to rob him, wouldn't he be smashed to pieces with a stick
Alas, prehistoric...
Not only women, men also need to protect themselves.
…
After sending Youqin Xuanya away, Li Changshou waited for another half a day.
When the sun was setting and the lunar star was about to emerge above the sea of clouds, Dong Mugong came with a group of heavenly soldiers riding the clouds.
After seeing Li Changshou, Duke Dongmu exchanged greetings and took out two treasure bags.
"A total of 300 flat peaches of the best quality," Dong Mugong said with a smile, "the two teachings of explaining and cutting each have 100 peaches, and there are also 100 peaches in Renjiao.
This matter was decided by the Queen Mother. "
After saying that, Li Changshou blinked lightly, and Li Changshou immediately understood the meaning.
Who do people teach
Besides the saint, isn't it just him and the archmage
These one hundred flat peaches were definitely given to Li Changshou!
Li Changshou felt emotional in his heart, but he was very calm on the surface. He put away the flat peaches and said, "Does Mr. Mu have any other orders? I will go to Jin'ao Island early tomorrow morning."
"Well," Duke Dongmu turned his head to look at the gate of the Sea God's Mansion, and said in a low voice, "I have a small problem, and it is also entrusted by the Queen Mother.
Sea God, do you lack apprentices
It is not an apprentice who practices and preaches, but an apprentice who uses strategy and wisdom, and has nothing to do with human teaching and inheritance.
If you need an apprentice, just open a Jinkou, and I will send it to you right away. "
Li Changshou couldn't help frowning slightly, and said in a low voice: "Who can entrust the Queen Mother?"
Duke Dongmu said: "It's His Highness, His Majesty's darling, His Majesty's jewel in her palm, but she hasn't announced it to the outside world..."
Li Changshou pondered a few times, "What does Your Majesty mean about this matter?"
"This matter was proposed by His Majesty."
"That's all right," Li Changshou said with a smile, "Your Majesty has orders, how can I not respect them
Where is this Highness, I will pay a visit to him right now. "
"It's just outside," Duke Dongmu turned around and greeted the gate, "His Royal Highness Longji, come in, Sea God agrees!"
