The night is dark and the wind is high on Xiaoqiong Peak, and the fragrance hangs in the forest and floats in the shadows.
Ling'e, who had just received a letter from her senior brother, put on a Taoist robe and hurried out of the hut, holding the jade talisman to open the formation, and rushed all the way to the alchemy room.
But just before arriving at the alchemy room, Ling'e heard a depressing...
Choking
Panicked, she jumped out of the night in the forest and landed in front of the brightly lit alchemy door, and saw... her senior brother who was lying on the rocking chair with tears streaming down his face!
Click!
There seemed to be a flash of lightning falling behind Ling'e, and she dodged backwards, staring in shock.
God, why did it suddenly collapse!
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Ling'e put on her crying voice, knelt down in front of the rocking chair, held Li Changshou's big hand with her small hand, and shouted:
"Tell me what's going on, no matter what happens, let's carry it together!
Yes, is it Master? Is Master dead
Brother, did something wrong happen in your practice
If your Longevity Dao Fruit is destroyed, I will accompany you to reincarnate with you, brother! "
"Ling'e...it's okay..."
Li Changshou replied tremblingly, his Adam's apple trembled up and down, exuding a strong sense of sadness.
Ling'e's eyelids drooped, and tears rolled down like broken pearls. She put the back of her senior brother's hand next to her cheek, and sobbed softly:
"Brother, don't scare me, if you are gone now, then what will I do!
I can't even count as your widow now, I can only guard your grave...
oops! Brother, why did you hit me! "
"What are you shouting about!"
Li Changshou cursed angrily, withdrew his fingers that touched her forehead, wiped away tears from the corners of his eyes, sighed again, and murmured:
"This stamina is too great."
Ling'e covered her forehead and pursed her lips, looked at her senior brother quietly, and said depressedly: "I haven't seen senior brother cry for so many years, people are worried."
"Brother, this is not crying," Li Changshou sighed, "It's just venting the backlog of emotions in the Dao heart."
Ling'e was confused.
Li Changshou shook his head, staring at the gloomy night, trying to calm down the sadness in his heart as much as possible.
He had just returned to the mountain for an hour, and he "went to tears" here for an hour.
Half a day ago, when he left the underworld, Li Changshou politely declined Uncle Zhao's dinner invitation on the grounds that he was going to the Sea God Cult and the Heavenly Court to deal with the follow-up matters.
The Xuanhuang Pagoda was deliberately taken back by the Archmage, and the Archmage also specially called out the names, asking Fairy Yunxiao to send Li Changshou's body back to the mountain gate...
Good brother as always.
It was rare for Li Changshou to be strong, and took the initiative to send Fairy Yunxiao back to Sanxian Island, where he drank a cup of tea and chatted for a while before embarking on the return journey alone.
On the way back, Li Changshou would inevitably feel a little "insecure" because of the absence of Lord Ta's protection...
Originally, the road that could be escaped in half an hour, just took a small half of the middle of Shenzhou!
After returning to Xiaoqiong Peak and lying back on the comfortable rocking chair, Li Changshou sighed softly, wisps of dark blue Dao rhyme floated around him, and a sense of sadness emerged from his whole body.
Thinking of the long distance between the world and the earth, I weep sadly alone.
When all things have an end, why stay lonely.
It was not that Li Changshou was not unaffected by Xiao Ai before, but he just accumulated these sorrows and created a sense of inscrutability to the outside world.
Cough, it's not because in front of Fairy Yunxiao!
This kind of pure sadness and pure appeal cannot be resisted by a pure heart...
Ling'e moved a futon, sat beside Li Changshou, and asked in a low voice with her most serious gentleness:
"Brother, what happened?"
"It's nothing serious," Li Changshou said indifferently, "It's just that when I was helping Empress Empress suppress the incarnation of the seven emotions, I was affected by the Dao rhyme transformed by the seven emotions of all beings. It's good to vent this emotion."
Ling'e blinked, she seemed to have heard something very important from her senior brother...
Li Changshou said: "Do you know what you are calling for?"
"I know," Ling'e sighed softly, put on a look of lovelessness, and turned her head to look to the side, "If rewarding me for copying the scriptures can make my brother happy, I...will..."
"No need this time, play some cheerful tunes for me to calm down my mood."
"Hee hee, did you say it earlier, here we come!"
Ling'e immediately moved back, released two paper figurines to pick up the drum and flute, and took out a guqin herself, playing a cheerful tune.
Li Changshou smiled, closed his eyes again, and waited until the tide of sadness gradually subsided, his mind became busy again.
The smooth resolution of the misfortune of the Seven Emotions in the Houtu is naturally inseparable from the cooperation of the Heavenly Court, the Dragon Palace, and the Immortal Sect of the Three Religions.
Li Changshou's paper Taoists went on the road again, went to the Dragon Palace to thank the Dragon King, and talked about the progress of the matter; they also found Dong Mugong in the Heavenly Court, and discussed the matter of sending people to the underworld for condolences.
While at Dongmu Public Office, Li Changshou got some unexpected news.
When gathering the thought power of all beings before, a wave of thought power was also gathered in the three thousand worlds and rushed to the underworld, injecting the six reincarnation disks, which added a lot of help.
The source of this thought power of all beings...
It is the large number of incense and fire gods controlled by Western religions in the three thousand worlds!
The West's righteous move
After thinking about it carefully, Li Changshou understood the purpose of the Western religion, which is nothing more than three—
First, give favors to the underworld to facilitate future actions in the Netherworld;
Second, helping the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk at the same time as the Daoist Sect is doing things for the Dao of Heaven. Although it does not gain merit, it can save some luck by this;
Third, occupy the word morality.
[Morality], in the cruel living environment of Honghuang, it seems to be just a joke.
This was indeed the case when the Taoist ancestors were not in harmony and the six sages were not born; in ancient times, it was purely that whoever had the biggest fist was right, and the so-called morality was just a fig leaf for violence.
But after Taoist ancestors came together and the six sages came out together, the prehistoric sky had already been set, and background and footsteps began to become more important than strength.
The existence of the six sages established the basic order of the prehistoric world;
And the existence of the way of heaven makes the word morality more important.
The Western Sect's help this time is to occupy the word of morality and "rectify its name" for itself, to show the responsibility of the prehistoric Great Sect, and to continue to compete with Taoism on the same level.
It's probably—[Our Western religion is not the villain of the prehistoric, it is in a competitive relationship with Taoism, and each has its own position].
Was this matter ordered by the sage, or did Dizang or other disciples of the sage mention it on his own initiative
Li Changshou thought for a while, and naturally there was no answer to this question, so he smiled and stopped thinking about it.
Well, let's think about how to help the underworld in the future, and earn more merit by the way.
After this help, Tu Niangniang, Heaven sent a huge amount of merit, which was distributed to the nine immortals of the Taoist sect; and Li Changshou was the key figure who contributed the most and the most important, and naturally received the most merit.
But as the Archmage had reminded him before...
The merits of this matter are distributed to the Taoist masters who came to help, and Li Changshou's own income will be reduced.
There's no way around this, it's a matter of great virtue, and Li Changshou naturally wants to seek stability in everything.
At this moment, almost 90% of the meritorious golden body has been constructed!
But 90% of these are still 'materials'.
Pure merit, except for offsetting karma, has no major effect, and the complete golden body of merit can produce the effect of "heaven protection".
Of course, Li Changshou's thinking on this matter has not changed—
He wanted the golden body of merit, not to rely on the golden body of merit to save his life.
With meritorious golden body protection, in general dangerous situations that do not involve saints, the safety factor can be increased by at least 30%;
As for the dangerous situation involving saints, he can also rely on his merits and virtues to make saints... hesitate for a while.
This is a lifeline!
Li Changshou has already prepared the method of cultivating the golden body of merit and virtue, and he has also thought about the idea of magic reform, but he has not been able to find a suitable idea.
At this time, the missing part of my meritorious golden body is a calf and a foot.
Well, can you get a smaller 'leg'
A golden body of meritorious deeds, a disabled foot
"Hahaha!"
Such a picture emerged in Li Changshou's heart, and he couldn't help laughing out loud.
As soon as Ling'e's piano sound stopped, she said happily, "Brother, are you alright?"
"Ah, Dao Xin is safe," Li Changshou stretched his arms, looked at Ling'e in front of him, and couldn't help but fell into thought again.
Ling'e blushed at dusk, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
"Ling'e, how long has it been since you practiced?"
How long have you practiced
Could it be that senior brother... is going to attack himself
The family flowers are finally going to show their heads and bear fruit, and the relationship between seniors and sisters can be further broken through
Boom!
Ling'e's heartbeat suddenly amplified, her pretty face flushed red, and she faltered and couldn't say a complete sentence, skipping over the girl's reserve and uneasiness, she said the words she had prepared for many years, as thin as a mosquito:
"I, I... I'm ready, ready..."
"oh?"
Li Changshou's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "You can guess what I'm thinking, after the cultivation level is high, the spiritual wisdom also gradually grows.
Then it's decided directly, and I will travel down the mountain after twelve years.
It is also time for you to face this flood. "
"Eh?"
Ling'e was startled, but Li Changshou chuckled a few times, and his figure turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared into the alchemy room.
…
If there is not enough merit, where can I make up for it
Although eliminating demons is a relatively stable option, suddenly putting too much pressure on the demon clan can easily cause the demon clan to rebound violently.
It is still necessary to use Daoist Lu Ya as the core point of calculation, and use Daoist Lu Ya's status as the prince of the monster court to attract more karma monsters to show up.
The most ideal calculation is actually to let the Yaozu take the initiative to put pressure on the Heavenly Court and hold high the banner against the heavens, then it will become logical and reasonable to take action to reap the merits.
Compared with the entire human race, the current strength and background of the Yaozu are far inferior;
But compared with Tianting, which has just started, it should not be underestimated.
Li Changshou counted down the affairs that he would need to deal with in the next few decades.
Tianting recruits soldiers, completes the reincarnation process plan, targets Lu Ya, secretly protects the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother, and lets juniors and sisters understand the dangers of the world...
In principle, he still wouldn't take the initiative to calculate these things.
The timetable of the Great Tribulation of the Conferred Gods has appeared in Nanzhou, and is guarded by Sister Kong Xuan, cough, Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan;
Li Changshou only needs to take his time and make follow-up preparations according to his own pace, and there is no need to be in a hurry.
Overhead and anxiety are the greatest enemies of the stable!
Next, talk to Junior Sister Youqin to see where she has reached in her cultivation, and before she goes to Heaven, try to raise her cultivation to the Heavenly Fairyland as much as possible.
Hmm... There is also a scene to be arranged, so that Youqin will 'officially intersect' with the water god of heaven, so as to give her a strong enough foothold and background.
After all, he was going to heaven to help his fellow apprentices, so naturally he couldn't treat him badly.
"Senior... Senior, are you there, Senior?"
"Um?"
Li Changshou raised his eyebrows, and most of his attention fell to the Zhi Taoist hiding at the border between Nanfangbuzhou and Dongshengshenzhou, his immortal consciousness spread, and he watched the cave of the Black Leopard couple.
Miaomiao, the water demon, was pacing back and forth in front of the cave, still holding the jade talisman that Li Changshou gave her earlier in her hand.
What's going on here
Li Changshou's paper Taoist stood up, checked his appearance, and made sure that he had been showing his old way with the Black Leopard couple before he drove away.
Immortal Consciousness captured that Hei Bao was sleeping soundly on a stone table in the cave, with two altars of immortal wine around him, obviously drunk by his wife.
This situation, this picture...
If Black Panther sees this, he will think that this 'Lu Ya old man' has something to do with the water demon Miaomiao!
When he arrived at the cave, Li Changshou asked with a straight face:
"Why are you in a hurry to find the poor? And why did you get your husband drunk?"
The water demon bowed her head in salute, and hurriedly replied:
"In the past few days, my husband has always been thinking about Jiejiao Xian, Jiejiaoxian, and said that he would go to Jin'ao Island for a trip.
I asked him what was the matter, and he said that he missed his old friends on Jin'ao Island recently and wanted to visit them.
That Jin'ao Island is the Jiejiao Taoist Temple, there are many masters, we are only two little demon ears, why dare to visit there? If this offended any master, wouldn't it be a fatal disaster.
Senior, can you persuade my husband? "
"It's okay," Li Changshou thought a little in his heart, frowned and said, "If he wants to go there, then just go."
The water demon frowned tightly, and asked in a low voice, "Is this all right?"
"It's nothing to worry about," Li Changshou expressed a little impatience, "You and him are husband and wife, this matter should be discussed between the two of you, Pindao didn't lock you here.
Pindao just thinks that the mouth of Fellow Daoist Black Panther is an extremely important skill for our monster race, so I take care of you a lot.
The immortals on Jin'ao Island are sensible and nice to speak. If what your husband said didn't lie to you, then you might get some benefits from Jin'ao Island.
Don't feel inferior because of your monster clan background. Although our monster clan can't do it now, it was brilliant in ancient times. "
The water demon couldn't help feeling anxious, and said in a low voice: "If he goes, I won't go anyway..."
"This is the matter of your husband and wife," Li Changshou waved his hands, "Poverty Dao has important matters, so I won't stay with you for long.
Such a trivial matter, hum. "
After saying that, Li Changshou drove away on the cloud, and the water demon was hesitant to speak, but he could only bow and salute to see him off.
Sighing a few times, the water demon turned around and returned to the cave, carried the black panther to the bed, and activated the formation to protect the cave.
Black Panther is going to Jinao Island to visit friends
What kind of chain reaction will this have for the Great Tribulation of Conferred Gods
Li Changshou pondered for a few moments, and had a faint premonition in his heart, feeling that any movement of the black panther would definitely stir up the prehistoric situation.
On the contrary, you can take the opportunity to engage in a wave of land pressure...
Li Changshou's thoughts continued to expand, and his eyes gradually narrowed with a smile.
…
Three days later, the black panther really set off from the cave, hiding all the way to the East China Sea, and headed for Jin'ao Island on the edge of the East China Sea.
As soon as the black panther left, the heavenly court sent a call to demon against Wubuzhou to hunt down the remnant of the ancient demon court, Daoist Lu Ya.
The reason is also written in the proclamation, saying that Taoist Lu Ya has mastered a magic weapon that threatens the balance of heaven and earth, and he needs to "capture and bring him back to heaven" as soon as possible...
As soon as this statement was issued, there was very little reaction from the immortal sect of the human race in Zhongshenzhou, and they almost ignored it.
—Although the Heavenly Court has begun to gain momentum, its influence and appeal are still lacking too much, and there is no Yazi who is the master of the Three Realms.
But when the demon clan heard about this, they cursed at Heavenly Court first, and then directly grasped the point.
Lu oppresses Taoists, a treasure that threatens the balance of heaven and earth!
Is this okay
Many masters of the monster tribe instantly boosted their intracranial pressure, and the monsters in the monster tribe territories on the borders of the continents were jubilant. The ancient monsters who had just been born not long ago came out of the mountain, waiting for His Royal Highness to raise their arms and shout!
And when the person involved got the news later, he was completely dumbfounded.
