In the Palace of Immortal Du, Ji Wuyou looked at the divine beast standing upright, lowered his head again, and read the jade talisman in his hand for the fourth time.
Come, come live!
The Archmage himself ordered it!
This seemingly ordinary jade talisman has such a profound dao rhyme left on it, making its material sublimated in a certain way!
Ji Wuyou shouted:
"Quick! Go arrange a circle for Senior Bai Ze!"
The elders in the hall, Li Changshou and Xiao Ling'e standing beside them all fell silent at this moment.
Bai Ze's elegant face almost collapsed into a donkey's face.
"Master," an elder on the side quickly reminded, "Accommodation, arrange a residence!"
"Cough, cough, cough! Yes! Arrange a place for Senior Bai Ze!"
Ji Wuyou hurriedly cupped his hands and made a bow, "Senior, don't blame me, my heart was agitated for a while, and I couldn't help myself. After all, the great mage gave the order himself."
The auspicious beast frowned and looked at Li Changshou, but the words Li Changshou said when he came came echoed in his heart.
[Don't talk too much, don't ask too much, just nod.]
Bai Ze nodded slowly, his beautiful figure shone with colorful lights, which made all the elders look a little fascinated.
Li Changshou said from the side: "Sect Leader, Senior Bai Ze likes to be secluded, why not find a hilltop near our Little Qiong Peak as a place for Senior Bai Ze to rest.
Please also give an order from the head, don't let people disturb the senior's meditation. "
"Good," Ji Wuyou immediately agreed.
Bai Ze's eyes moved back and forth on Ji Wuyou and Li Changshou, and the corner of his mouth twitched, not to tell the truth.
The whole process of resettling Bai Ze was generally smooth.
Apart from senior brothers and sisters Li Changshou, only Ji Wuyou and a few elders knew of Bai Ze's whereabouts in Duxian Sect;
It is not difficult for Bai Ze to hide his figure from being seen by the disciples of the Duxian Sect.
Ji Wuyou first used the enchantment of fairy power to wrap the empty hilltop next to Xiaoqiong Peak, and asked Bai Ze to choose a place to live.
Hearing Li Changshou's voice again, Ji Wuyou took advantage of the situation and issued the master order, letting Li Changshou take full charge of supervising the construction of Bai Ze's cave, as well as the various formations of this 'Black Pool Peak', all of which will be provided by Baifandian .
The name of Black Pool is just a deception.
After the sect master and all the elders left Black Pool Peak, Li Changshou whispered a few words to Ling'e, Ling'e turned around and flew back to Little Qiong Peak, leaving Li Changshou and Bai Ze alone...
Lying beside a pool of water, Bai Ze, whose face was full of lifelessness, couldn't help but sighed faintly.
Li Changshou thought a little in his heart, and also sighed in his heart.
In the end, he still couldn't kill it.
Previously in Du'er Immortal's Cave, he sang with the great mage, and only 70% of them were teasing and persecuting Bai Ze;
The remaining 30% was due to differences of opinion between Li Changshou and the Archmage...
Li Changshou could clearly feel that the archmage had a universal sense of justice.
The archmage doesn't like karma, because he has a high level of Taoism, has lived for a long time, and has seen too many joys and sorrows, and the misery of living beings, so he shows a kind of indifference to the life and death of living beings on weekdays.
But the Archmage is by no means a cold-hearted man.
Just like today, the archmage felt that Bai Ze hadn't committed any serious crimes, so he didn't need to kill him directly;
Moreover, Bai Ze intends to take refuge in him, and with the name of Bai Ze's ability and auspicious beast, it is considered appropriate to enter the human religion, so he kept teasing and advised Li Changshou to let Bai Ze go.
The Archmage can naturally think this way, after all, the Archmage can fear nothing except saints...
But Li Changshou can't.
Already in the center of the prehistoric vortex, Li Changshou absolutely did not want to leave such a huge hidden danger behind.
In particular, knowing that Bai Ze had been watching him secretly for so long, Li Changshou felt that most of his hole cards might have been spied on by Bai Ze!
Don't worry, I really don't worry.
However, Li Changshou and the archmage did not argue. There were differences of opinion. It was the archmage and Li Changshou who each took a step back. In the process of running on Bai Ze, they gradually reached a consensus.
Afterwards, the pair of senior brothers attacked at the same time, using methods they could trust, to control Bai Ze...
In this process, Bai Ze seems to be an innocent victim, but in fact he has achieved what he originally planned——
Dedicated to Renjiao.
But the blow that Bai Ze suffered at this time was not controlled by the archmage and Li Changshou, nor was it because Li Changshou easily broke the situation and found his hiding place.
It was he who misunderstood the water god's ambition from the very beginning...
How did the agreed-upon overlord of a generation of bright monarchs end up with no intention of hegemony in the world, and only wanted to be at ease
What about the pattern
What about the big picture
No, Water God, what are these conditions
Standing behind him is the strongest sage, standing in the midst of the Dao of Heaven. His own calculations are astonishing, and the speed of his cultivation is terrifying. He even uses Heaven's punishment every now and then to have an intimate interaction with the Dao of Heaven!
This kind of condition is not to make a name for himself, but to pursue peace and inaction, isn't this a joke with him, Bai Ze
To tell the truth, Bai Ze has only seen the water god who has been punished so many times by the gods and still survived.
Bai Ze naturally knew that this was due to the water god's restraint, even if he offended the one in Zixiao Palace, it was only a slight punishment to the water god, and there was a feeling that the master looked at his disciples, gritted his teeth and hated him for not fighting...
In addition, the relationship between the three religions has become more and more harmonious because of the water god...
Isn't the Water God one of the two emperors predestined by Heaven
Therefore, when Lu Ya asked Bai Ze for help, Bai Ze saw that he could not get rid of the karma of the monster race, so he simply took half a step forward.
His strategy for Lu Ya is to advance as retreat, so why isn't he himself taking advance as retreat
Can…
Look at it, settle your mind, stud is gone, it's all gone.
Bai Ze "got what he wanted" and successfully arrived at the side of the water god, and became a poor man who was taught to pull a cart. In the future, he will probably be seen dead next to the water god's body. Live the rest of my life with peace of mind, and sleep with the heaven and the earth...
Thinking of this, Bai Ze continued to sigh, and slowly closed his eyes.
Who can you blame for the path you choose
Li Changshou seemed to be able to see through Bai Ze's thoughts, and said with a smile:
"Senior, don't be disappointed, people teach to be quiet and inaction, and my brother and I will not force senior to do more.
The senior did us a great favor by not standing on the Yaozu's side. "
Li Changshou's thinking changed very quickly.
[Since you can't raise Bai Ze, you can only increase your favorability!]
Bai Ze frowned and said: "There is no one else here, so the poor Taoist will ask you again, can you tell the poor Taoist sincerely
Friends of Taoism are serious, do you have no desire for power? "
Li Changshou said with a smile: "If my inference is correct, the senior cannot detect the place where the power of heaven is stronger."
"Yes, I need to avoid the heavens."
"No wonder seniors have such a misunderstanding." Li Changshou shook his head slightly, raised his hand a little, placed two futons and a low table by the pool, and made a gesture of invitation.
Li Changshou said: "In fact, seniors have overlooked the simplest truth. I told you, seniors can understand the cause and effect here."
"What kind of reason?"
"If it wasn't for my temperament, if it wasn't for my pursuit of peace and inaction, how could the sage master of our human religion choose me?"
Bai Ze was stunned, then fell silent, then buried his head in his front paws, and sighed, "You've been smart for a lifetime, you've been smart for a lifetime!"
Li Changshou shook his head with a smile, leaving Bai Ze depressed for a while, before saying:
"Senior only needs to maintain his body shape in front of outsiders from now on, and when you and I meet in private, senior can do whatever he wants."
Bai Ze slowly raised his head, feeling much more relaxed than before, obviously because he discovered his fatal mistake, and thus temporarily accepted his current identity in his heart...
People teach the coachman.
Bai Ze returned to the figure of a middle-aged Taoist, and there was a little teardrop-shaped red mark on his forehead, and a strand of long hair in front of his forehead turned into silver, which added a bit of strangeness to him.
Bai Ze was wearing a loose white robe at the moment, sitting opposite the low table, and said with a wry smile, "What the hell is this poor man up to?"
"There is more stability, less turbulence, and cause and effect are eliminated."
Li Changshou paused and said with a smile: "Of course, there is also an extra shackle.
but… "
"What?" Bai Ze asked with a wry smile.
"Isn't the cause and effect of this incident also a testament to senior's divine ability to seek good fortune and avoid evil?"
Li Changshou arched his hands and chuckled a few times, "It's really enviable!"
Bai Ze didn't know whether to laugh or cry, wanted to complain about something, but didn't know what to say, and stared at the pool in a daze.
After a while, Bai Ze exhaled slowly, and his smile became a little more free and easy.
With a distant look in his eyes, Bai Ze said slowly:
"After ancient times, Pindao originally thought that this life was empty and empty, so he had to search for it forever, and finally found a place where no one lived, and went to sleep peacefully, living with the heaven and the earth.
It was also when I saw you before and saw the Heavenly Court today, I couldn't help but think of the difficulty of assisting the late emperor to create the ancient Heavenly Court, the difficulty of the powerful saint clan, and the Taoist wish to regenerate.
I never thought about it, after all, I paid my mind wrong. "
Li Changshou smiled and said, "Where do I have any interest in controlling the lives of countless beings?"
Bai Ze said: "Wouldn't it be great to stand on the top of all living beings and watch the rise and fall of the world?"
"Sentient beings are not this shallow grass, nor are they swimming fish with undeveloped spiritual wisdom;
They each have their own thoughts, desires, needs, confusions, and joys. They are born to take a journey between heaven and earth, not to pay homage to the figure on the top of all living beings.
The desire for power is nothing more than one's own desire, so why use words such as heroism, extraordinary, king, and supreme to beautify it
After all, it is nothing more than a stronger creature enslaving a weaker creature to obtain physical and mental satisfaction. "
Li Changshou took out a jug of wine and two jade bottles from his sleeve, and poured a glass of wine for Bai Ze.
"Senior, you should know what I'm talking about. You shouldn't be ignorant of such a simple truth that you can hide halfway when the monster clan is at its peak."
Bai Ze looked at the wine in his glass, smiled lightly and shook his head, sighing:
“It’s really all a cloud of the past.
I never thought that Pindao only figured out this truth when the demon court was destroyed, and fellow Taoists have only been practicing Taoism for hundreds of years, and they have seen it so thoroughly.
The desire for power is nothing more than one's own desire, and all living beings are born in the world just to walk a journey between heaven and earth.
It's not unreasonable to lose to you... "
Li Changshou smiled, his eyes were full of sincerity, and said: "Being able to win senior is purely luck, and it is also a blessing brought by my junior sister."
"Then," Bai Ze held the wine glass and slid a little on his lips, a slight smile appeared on his gentle and handsome face, "How dare you say that you have no desire for power?"
"Comparatively speaking, it should be relatively low," Li Changshou said with a smile, "I'm not interested in ruling others, in comparison, I prefer to be clean.
On the contrary, it is the senior, the senior enjoys assisting the Ming Lord.
Is it also driven by the desire for power, but I lack the courage to bear the karma of all living beings, so I want to help a soul to reach the top of all living beings, so as to gain my own sense of fulfillment and existence? "
Bai Ze was startled, savoring Li Changshou's words carefully, and then nodded slowly.
"Pindao does take pleasure in this, but it's not because he doesn't have the courage to bear the karma of all beings, but because he feels that Pindao is not that material.
If I can assist Master Ming to ascend to that position for the second time, and then retire after success, I will be named Bai Ze in the world...
really!
Alas, now I can only think about it like this, hahahaha! "
Bai Ze laughed twice, the laughter was full of remembrance, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and when he looked up, there was still a little light in his eyes.
Li Changshou said with a smile: "Senior, would you like to work for today's court?"
"I don't want to," Bai Ze slowly shook his head, "but today there are fellow Taoists in the family, there is no place for a poor Taoist."
"Sky has day and night, Dao divides Yin and Yang...
Well, it's not the time to say these things. "
Li Changshou interrupted his words suddenly, deliberately leaving a little blank.
It happened that Ling'e flew from outside the mountain, holding a tray in her hand, and brought some small dishes...
After a while, Ling'e put down the dishes, said "use it slowly", winked at the senior brother, and floated away on the cloud.
However, Bai Ze came to his senses. Looking at the exquisite dishes in front of him, he first sniffed them lightly. Without Li Changshou's greeting, he directly picked up the chopsticks, took a mouthful of Baiyu Chinese cabbage, chewed it carefully in his mouth, and then admired it. :
"Although the taste is not good, the color is not complete, and the fragrance is too strong, but it contains the heart of the junior sister to the senior brother. It is commendable, commendable, hahaha!"
Li Changshou smiled and said, "Senior also likes food?"
"When the poor Taoist lives in vain, the only pleasure is to cook some delicious food, taste it with others, and taste it alone." Bai Ze turned his head and looked around, "This place is simple and rough. After the poor Taoist builds a house, he will show it to fellow Taoists." One hand."
"Senior, wait a moment, since I am an expert in this way, then I have to show my hand."
After saying that, Li Changshou threw out two Paper Daoists, and quickly built a pot here.
He personally went back to Little Qiong Peak again, selected two precious and rare domestic spirit beasts, hunted two fat and plump spirit fish, and brought them back to Black Pool Peak.
Sometimes, it is enough to get closer to each other and have a common hobby.
Bai Ze took the initiative to initiate an appointment to compete with Li Changshou in cooking.
After Li Changshou clarified all the conditions, he nodded and agreed. The two of them acted as referees for each other, showing off their skills beside the barren mountain and pool.
Bai Ze has been immersed in cooking for many years, and his culinary skills are more than one step better than Li Changshou's. Every dish is extremely delicate.
But Li Changshou excels in his variety and mastery of new flavors that are rarely seen in the wild. In the end, with a raw thin fish fillet, freshly prepared horseradish, and the sentence 'high-end ingredients often only need simple cooking', Bai Ze Shocked as a god.
Afterwards, the two exchanged cups and drank slightly drunk, as if there was no hostility between them at all.
After all, Bai Ze was under the control of Li Changshou at the moment, so he didn't dare to push him too far, so he asked Li Changshou to call him by his first name, and continued to discuss cooking skills in the future.
Li Changshou thought about it, and called Bai Ze 'Mr.'.
So, in the sound of "Sir", Bai Ze gradually lost himself, and he felt a little closer to Li Changshou...
But Li Changshou didn't think about it today, to completely increase his favorability.
When they had a good talk, Li Changshou straightened out his thoughts and intentionally pierced a scar on Bai Ze...
"Mr. Bai, this time you and I are competing. Although my victory is due to the luck of my junior sister, it is also related to Mr. Bai's cocoon."
Bai Ze couldn't help frowning, "How can I bind myself?"
Li Changshou held his right sleeve with his left hand, poured the warm wine into Bai Ze's cup, and said with a smile as if he was talking about a trivial matter:
"The power of the Dao is hard to be settled, the number of the sky is hard to be fixed, and the hearts of the souls are hard to be at ease.
In the past, on the top of Buzhou Mountain, Mr. made a covenant with all the demon gods, created a holy clan, won the great power of heaven, fought against the witch clan, fought for heaven and earth together, assisted the demon emperor, was appointed as the demon commander, and enjoyed the admiration of the demon clan.
Afterwards, the demon court gradually degenerated, Mr. cherished his reputation, retreated bravely, and wandered wildly. Although he was separated from the cause and effect of the Lich War, he was not separated from the cause and effect of the demon clan.
This time Lu Ya asked for help from his seniors, but the gentleman didn't care, so he gave Lu Ya the strategy of gathering monsters to fight against the heavens, offering sacrifices to the monster clan, and fulfilling the heaven, Lu Ya and himself.
In my speech before, sir, I mentioned the difference between the holy race and the demon race;
The gentleman regards himself as a noble and holy saint, and has a lot of dislike for the vicious demon tribe, but he forgot that the saint tribe and the demon tribe are just two names.
You are all one family.
Mr. should have stood on the side of the Yaozu, but pushed the Yaozu to the edge of life and death without hesitation. Isn't this against luck? How to win? "
Li Changshou sighed slightly, raised his wine glass, and continued:
"Nowadays, the protagonist is a human race. From the perspective of outsiders, the gentleman's move is right, and he will praise him for his righteousness.
But Mr. Bai...
Since you are a gardener and enjoy the fun of cultivating flowers and watching them bloom, you have to endure the loneliness of flowers withering and falling into mud. This is the way of gain and loss, and the way of balance between heaven and earth.
I am not asking Mr. Bai to assist the Yaozu again. At this time, Mr. Bai is under my control, and I am also against the Yaozu.
But I, Li Changshou, don't want to be the next demon clan, the next demon emperor in Mr. Bai's eyes.
Therefore, I did not seek Mr. Bai's calculations, schemes, and other tricks. When the Archmage wanted to save Mr. Bai's life, I never let go of my murderous intention towards Mr. Bai.
Mr. is not a creature worthy of admiration, nor is it a talent I cherish.
He does not come when he is famous, nor does he leave when he is at a low point, so he can be called a celebrity in the prehistoric times.
At this time, sir, it is not worthy yet. "
After saying that, Li Changshou drank the wine in his glass and stood up slowly.
Bai Ze frowned tightly, staring blankly at the cups and plates on the low table in front of him, not even knowing when Li Changshou left.
When Bai Ze came back to his senses, only Li Changshou's voice...
"I will come back to have a drink with Mr. Bai in three days. I hope that Mr. Bai will be able to refute what I have said today.
After all, soulmates are hard to find. "
[The first method of brushing favorability: attacking the heart]
