"Incarnation of the Seven Emotions?"
On the way back to Wubuzhou after leaving Notre Dame Palace, the archmage listened to Li Changshou's narration, and was deeply moved for a while, sighing:
"Turning into a six-path samsara disk for the living beings, but still bearing the remnants left by the living beings, Empress Houtu really...
Junior brother, if you have a way, you can help Empress Houtu, you have always had many ideas, if you can help Empress Houtu relieve this pain, it will be a great merit. "
"Brother..."
Li Changshou was speechless for a moment.
He simply wanted to do something for the underworld and the living beings. If the Heavenly Dao master didn't give merit, wouldn't he help
Of course, enthusiasm is bound to take some dampening.
Li Changshou thought about it for a while, and said: "Senior brother, I'm afraid I can't do this alone.
According to what the Holy Mother said, there is hatred in the incarnation of Empress Houtu who was born at this time. My cultivation is shallow, and I am afraid that I will be killed by this incarnation before I get close. "
Master Xuandu thought about it, "This statement makes sense."
Li Changshou immediately breathed a sigh of relief. With the support of the archmage, even entering the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk, he can handle it freely.
— It is impossible for my own sage master to let the two of them be trapped in the six-path samsara together.
However, Master Xuandu flipped his left hand, and the Xuanhuang Pagoda and the Taiji Diagram appeared at the same time, hovering gently in his palm, and sent them to Li Changshou...
"effort!"
The archmage patted Li Changshou on the shoulder, "As a brother, how can you share the merits of longevity? Teacher and I will always stand behind you and support you, let's do it!"
"Thank you, brother!"
Li Changshou was inexplicably moved, and holding two defensive treasures in both hands, he bowed deeply to the archmage.
Then he murmured in a low voice: "If that's the case, even though the interval is shorter, it's still possible for friend Kong Xuandao to repay the favor he owes me, um, so I owe friend Kong Xuandao the favor again.
It's not difficult to pay back, he wants to go to Tushita Palace, and I don't know if Laojun will allow it... "
The great mage Xuandu who had raised his left hand, about to break through the universe and leave, paused for a moment.
Li Changshou looked at the two treasures in front of him, and his heart almost overflowed with a sense of security.
"Hey, I thought about it for my brother." The Great Master Xuandu turned around with a gentle smile, "It's really inappropriate for Changshou to go by yourself on this trip. After all, no one knows. How's the situation?"
While speaking, a big hand stretched out, and silently pulled the Taiji diagram back.
"Thank you, brother! Hehe."
"You bastard," the archmage gritted his teeth and scolded, "It's okay to be a Taoist Wenjing back then, knowing that it's not easy for you to instigate her, but now... hum!
Don't carelessly arrange this matter for brother Wei, why do you need company when you are free and easy? It is troublesome to pull the red rope all the way. "
Li Changshou put away the Xuanhuang Pagoda, squinted his eyes and smiled, jumped to the side of the Archmage, and cupped his hands: "Brother, let's go to Jin'ao Island first, there is also a rare thing there.
By the way, let me think about how I can help Empress Houtu. "
"What rare things can there be? Could it be that someone has formed a Taoist couple?"
"On the contrary."
"Oh?" The archmage's eyes lit up, a white cloud condensed under his feet, and he led Li Changshou towards Wubuzhou.
Li Changshou closed his eyes and focused his attention, looking for a solution to the Houtu matter.
This is the most thorny and difficult problem he has faced since he practiced in the prehistoric times. Calculations and calculations are completely useless, and he doesn't even know how far he should go.
Empress Houtu's situation, in the words of Empress Nuwa, is to bear the thoughts of the seven emotions for the endless creatures, thus putting herself on the verge of collapse, and giving birth to seven incarnations, all of which are empress Houtu herself. The transformation of love...
From Li Changshou's understanding, this is Empress Houtu split her complete 'personality' into 'seven personalities' according to the seven emotions.
Yes, this is split personality.
Li Changshou has seen many examples of split personalities of qi refiners in ancient books—the demons of many qi refiners have distorted personalities because they have been suppressing and avoiding certain emotions.
This split personality is completely different from the mainstream way of incarnation; the former is uncontrollable, while the latter is based on the will of the alchemist.
The first three incarnations of the seven emotions are sorrow, desire, and evil, which is actually easy to understand:
Most of the living souls who have reached the reincarnation disc of the six realms carry the sorrow caused by death;
And desire is something that living beings cannot avoid, and it can even be regarded as the basic driving force of living beings, and evil is often related to it...
If all the seven emotions are relieved, can Empress Houtu break free from such pain
Li Changshou put half of his mind in the secret room of Xiaoqiong Peak, spread out a blank sheet of paper, and began to organize his thoughts in the old way.
A reminder from the sage Nuwa is very important to Li Changshou.
His real advantage lies in the "strange idea" that the original creatures of the wilderness did not have.
Supernatural powers, mana, who can surpass the saints in the current prehistoric times
If supernatural powers and spells can help Empress Houtu... what other saints would do, Li Changshou did not dare to speak nonsense, but Nuwa saint made it clear that if she could make a move, she would not stand by and watch.
After all, Houtu and her were rivals and friends.
"well… "
Approaching Jinao Island, Li Changshou sighed suddenly.
Master Xuandu asked gently: "What's wrong?"
"I suddenly felt a little emotional," Li Changshou said with his head bowed, "I often hear people say that good people will be rewarded with good things.
However, Empress Houtu sacrificed herself for the sake of all living beings and turned into the queen of the six realms of reincarnation, but she continued to suffer the pain of being given back by all living beings.
In this seemingly beautiful Three Realms, the happiness of the majority requires the suffering of a few souls...
Alas, I really don't know how to comment on this matter. "
The archmage smiled and said, "Why is it so profound all of a sudden? Longevity, cough, Chang Geng."
"I am here."
"This is the way."
Li Changshou couldn't help being startled, and stood beside the great mage in a daze for a long time, then he burst out laughing.
He transformed into the appearance of the water god with white hair and white robe, and said with a smile, "Brother, I have a question."
"speak."
"What the Tao shows, can there be right and wrong, can there be right and wrong, can there be good and evil?"
"There is no such thing," the archmage said in a gentle voice, "Tao has nothing to do with you and me. You and I just walk along the same way, the beginning and the end of the search for the Tao."
"But senior brother, living beings have right and wrong, good and evil," Li Changshou said softly, "Can living beings be one?"
This time it was the archmage who was startled, and thought for a long time with his hands behind his hands, then he couldn't help laughing, and continued to say softly:
"If you talk about thousands of living beings, birth, old age, sickness and death, the seven emotions and six desires, are the Dao.
But in terms of a single living being, it is the reverberation of the Dao and the true spirit, and it cannot be discussed as a Tao.
Therefore, you and I pursue freedom and freedom, but don't go beyond the way, just like the words that are often mentioned-do whatever you want but don't go beyond the rules, so that the soul can be with the way, feel relaxed and happy, and have endless fun. "
Li Changshou lowered his head and pondered for a while, then bowed to the archmage, "Thank you, brother, for clarifying the confusion."
"good."
The archmage nodded with a smile, sweating secretly.
Hey, what kind of state has this little guy realized
This is only a few hundred years
This will take another few hundred years of practice, so the question I will ask next time, isn't it...
The archmage turned his head to look at Li Changshou who was lost in thought again, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times.
It's time to return to Xuandu City to retire.
…
When Li Changshou and the Archmage arrived at Jin'ao Island, it was full of immortals coming and going, and streamers constantly flowing.
All the Qi refiners who had nothing to do on Jin'ao Island helped Zhao Gongming deliver letters everywhere.
Zhao Gongming also made it clear in advance that he invited his friends to come to Jinao Island to be a witness this time, in order to tell about his attempts and efforts with the Holy Mother of the Golden Light on the road of being a Taoist couple, and to announce that the two are officially...
Restore the status of ordinary fellow disciples.
When the great mage heard Li Changshou talk about this matter, he couldn't help laughing. Such a novelty was indeed the first time in the prehistoric world.
However, there will definitely not be any heavenly merits coming.
The Archmage and Li Changshou did not show up directly, but hid in the corner of Jin'ao Island. The former was watching the various arrangements of Jie Jiaoxian with great interest, while the latter was concentrating on thinking about how to take away the great merit of the underworld. .
The golden body of merit can be expected, but Li Changshou has no sense of excitement at all in his heart;
For Li Changshou, it was a hundred times more difficult to help Empress Hou Tu solve the incarnation of seven emotions than to kill a sufficient number of ancient karmic obstacles.
After all, this is a difficult problem for saints to solve.
Treating this as a disease, Li Changshou felt that the first thing he had to do was to prevent the 'condition from getting worse'.
But how can this be prevented? Let the Six Paths of Reincarnation stop? If the law of heaven does not allow it, Empress Houtu herself may not agree either.
A few hours later, more than a thousand Jiejiao immortals gathered on Jinao Island...
Seeing that Li Changshou had been concentrating on contemplation, the Archmage told him, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, even if you can't help, no one will blame you.
After all, this is not your responsibility, you are just acting out of righteousness. "
Li Changshou deliberately showed some firm eyes, and said in a low voice: "For the sake of merit, we have to work hard!"
The archmage laughed twice, and raised his hand to point forward.
"Look, who is yours?"
Li Changshou looked up, and saw a cloud of mist rising on the clouds in the sky, and three beautiful figures slowly appeared from the mist, but Zhao Gongming invited all the fairies of Sanxiao from Sanxian Island to come over.
The archmage asked: "Should we show up? Although it will be more troublesome to socialize and greet."
"No, I'll just say hello."
Today is Uncle Zhao's place, so we can't steal Uncle Zhao's limelight.
Li Changshou called softly: "Fairy, Brother Xuandu and I are hiding here to watch the ceremony. We have important things to do later, so we won't show up to meet you today."
Yun Xiao looked up, and just glanced at the hiding place of Li Changshou and the archmage, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and nodded slightly at Li Changshou.
Li Changshou: ...
Sure enough, his own cultivation level is still not at home, and there is a Taiji diagram to cover up and spread a voice, which can be exposed!
On the side, Qiong Xiao rolled her eyes, sniffed lightly, and muttered, "That's weird."
"What's wrong?" Bi Xiao asked with a blink of an eye.
"It smells like a white-haired old man," Qiong Xiao smacked his lips.
Yun Xiao looked at Qiong Xiao helplessly, and said softly: "Don't tease him like this, he also has his own difficulties."
Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao looked at each other, and immediately burst into laughter.
"Hahaha," the archmage clapped his palms and smiled lightly, "Junior Sister Yunxiao's temperament is indeed gentle."
Li Changshou nodded with a smile, a flash of spiritual light suddenly flashed in his heart, but the flash of spiritual light flashed so quickly that he failed to catch it.
What did Empress Houtu experience when she transformed into the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk? And how
Does this contain the answer to the question
Li Changshou closed his eyes again and meditated, letting the bustle and noise around his ears remain undisturbed.
At dusk, the breakup ceremony officially began.
More than a thousand celestial beings of Jiejiao gathered beside the treasure pond, surrounding the whole treasure pond up and down, and several disciples of the sages who came to support stayed in the clouds.
Zhao Gongming first took a few steps forward, walked to the open space surrounded by all the immortals, bowed his hands to the surroundings, and said loudly:
"Today, I take the liberty to invite all my colleagues here, just to be a witness.
Please forgive me if I disturb my fellow practitioners.
This matter was originally a matter between Gong Ming and Junior Sister Jin Guang, but it has attracted the attention of everyone in the same sect before, so I invite you to come here today and talk about it together.
There is nothing bad about today, and I am happy and at ease.
I went on a trip with Junior Sister Jin Guang... ”
Zhao Gongming started to tell a little story about him and Our Lady of Golden Light, and all the immortals of Jiejiao listened quietly.
The Holy Mother of Golden Light also stood up very quickly, saying that she had understood her true heart and admired senior brother Gongming so much that she wanted to become a Taoist couple with him, but after getting along, they found that they were not suitable for each other...
"Brother, let's go to the underworld to do something."
"How are you thinking?" the Archmage asked beside him.
Li Changshou shook his head: "We can only get in touch with the incarnation of Empress Houtu, preferably with Empress Houtu herself, to see if I can find some clues."
"good."
Daoyun circulated around the body of the great mage, and the two quietly exited the stage sitting on the cloud.
At this time, Fairy Yunxiao looked up in the distance.
Li Changshou waved his hands with a smile, Yun Xiao also showed a faint smile, and nodded before Li Changshou's figure disappeared.
On the way, the archmage suddenly thought of something, put his hand on Li Changshou's shoulder, and asked:
"How do you get along with Yunxiao
Could it be that Junior Brother Gong Ming and Junior Sister Jin Guang feel that getting along with each other is completely out of sync? "
Why worry about this.
Li Changshou brought the topic to the matter of Empress Houtu, and after discussing with the Archmage for a while, they were already outside the city of Fengdu.
With the archmage in charge, it is indeed much easier to travel.
The two discussed for a while, and decided to have a showdown with the Wu clan directly on this matter, and let the Underworld Yin Division fully assist.
At that moment, the archmage unleashed his coercion, revealed his figure together with Li Changshou, and appeared in the low sky outside Fengdu City.
All Yan Jun of the Ten Palaces was startled, the howling of ghosts and howling wolves inside and outside Fengdu City stopped for an instant, and the bull's head and horse's face that was eating a big piece on the top of the mountain shivered a few times.
"Niu, do we need too much seasoning? Er..."
"No, can't it? A little seasoning, why did the archmage come in person!"
Fortunately, Li Changshou's next sentence was: "Yan Jun of the Ten Palaces, can you be convicted?"
The bull head and horse face breathed a sigh of relief, and hugged the seasoning jars next to each other tightly.
So, half an hour later.
Li Changshou first tightened and then loosened, forcing Yama of the Tenth Palace to tell the truth about the distress in the underworld and the Empress Houtu, and proposed to fight with the archmage to see if he could help Empress Houtu get rid of such a "stubborn disease".
In terms of routines, Yan Jun will not be the opponent of the Heavenly Court Water God.
Lord Yan of the Ten Palaces not only revealed the secrets of the underworld, but also expressed his gratitude to Li Changshou, as if his life was entrusted to Li Changshou.
Li Changshou proposed to go to the 18th level of hell to find the "incarnation of grief". All Yan Jun dared not refuse, and King Qin Guang and Chu Jiang personally led the way, leading Li Changshou and the great master into the 18th level of hell.
There is no need to repeat the tragic spectacle along the way, they went straight to the bottom of the 18th floor of hell;
The two Lord Yan released the forty-nine restrictions, stepped into a fantasy world where the power of heaven was extremely strong, and arrived at the lake that Li Changshou had seen.
"Archmage, Water God... You two will know it after reading it."
King Qin Guang sighed, with a complex expression on his face, raised his hands and formed a seal, and the four figures flew forward by themselves, entering a white mist.
Not knowing how far ahead, Li Changshou saw the woman curled up on the lake again.
King Qin Guang and King Chujiang announced in unison:
"Zu, Archmage and water..."
"Oh~~~"
The woman lying on the water let out a long sigh, and a strong dao rhyme flowed out, making Li Changshou's dao heart almost unbalanced.
The woman remained motionless, her brisk voice carried a hint of sadness:
"See what I do, why bother to see me, everything is in vain, existence is meaningless.
Hehe, my brothers and sisters are all dead, why do I still exist... "
The two Yan Jun's tears immediately drooped, immersed in sadness and unable to extricate themselves.
The archmage and Li Changshou were already ten feet away from the woman, and they both bowed together.
The great mage said loudly: "Madam, may I have a talk with my senior brother?"
The woman lay there motionless, her lithe voice was a little weaker:
"It's useless, no need, go back, before the world is destroyed, eat what you want, drink what you want."
When she said these words, there was a wonderful dao rhyme around her all the time, and the archmage had to take the initiative to resist it.
Li Changshou asked from the side: "Ma'am, is there anything we can help you with?"
The woman whispered: "Help me? Let me out of here
The outside is just a bigger cage, the world is a dream, I am fine here, just slowly withering, slowly disappearing... "
Li Changshou and the archmage looked at each other, they both nodded at the same time, and walked forward in tacit understanding.
The woman lying there didn't even look at them, she continued to cry silently, her fair skin became more fragile, and the black gauze skirt seemed to symbolize some kind of ominousness.
Li Changshou took Xuanhuang Pagoda into Yuanshen's place, sat cross-legged in front of the woman, showed a gentle smile, and took the initiative to launch an offensive:
"No, did you ask me to save you?"
The woman opened her eyes, and those light blue pupils exuded deep sadness, crazily hitting Li Changshou's defenses.
Li Changshou hastened to think of some happy things...
"It's useless," the woman murmured, "No one can save me, I can only sink here, my heart is dead.
Who are you... Forget it, whoever you are, why do you think we are alive? "
"for… "
"Tired, isn't it? So much sadness."
The woman spoke quietly, and slowly raised one hand with a silver chain, grabbing the corner of Li Changshou's robe.
"The spirit is meant to suffer in this world, so it hopes to be relieved at the end. What does your experience and your feelings have to do with other people
The world in the eyes of the spirit is nothing more than one's own imagination. Why does such a world exist? "
"this… "
"Oh," the woman sighed faintly, "I can't answer this kind of question, how can I save me
Even if it's just to lie to me
In this sad world, my tears will eventually..."
"Can we sit up and talk?"
Li Changshou tried to take the initiative, but...
"Does it make sense? Will I change my mind when I sit up? You still don't understand, young man, the world is all false, all useless, and in the end it's all nothingness.
Who can save whom
It's all a joke, if you have nothing to do, just leave, let me lie here quietly, okay
I've tried my best not to let my pain affect others, so what else can I do? Sad, so big.
The water of this lake, my tears. "
Li Changshou stood up, his figure flickered several times, and quickly backed away from the woman.
Can't be cured, can't be saved, goodbye!
