Inside the samsara board, two or three figures sat facing each other, the Great Master Xuandu folded his arms and kept nodding, but the one who spoke was always the junior brother at the side.
The archmage was also a little emotional.
He could kind of helplessly watch Li Changshou take over from him to become the talker... Cough!
He saw with his own eyes that Li Changshou walked to where he is today step by step, and became the most trusted fairy god of the Jade Emperor in the Heavenly Court. He talked eloquently in front of saints, and was deeply trusted by Empress Houtu and several saints.
Looking back on the past, everything seems to have originated from the Sea God Sect of the South China Sea.
A chance to change a life is fully explained by Li Changshou;
But how much effort is needed to seize the opportunity can also be answered in Li Changshou.
However, the archmage can be sure that he is the teacher's favorite disciple!
Hmm... probably.
After the Empress Houtu bid farewell to the incarnation of Qiqing, the grass ring was sealed by Empress Houtu with her supernatural powers and handed over to Li Changshou.
The empress's eyes were a little bit reluctant, and her slender fingers gently slid across the grass ring.
Li Changshou said: "Mother, I intend to ask the Holy Mother to shape a perfect Taoist body, and then reincarnate Xiao Ai and the others through the Reincarnation Tower."
Hou Tu frowned slightly, and said softly: "This is against the way of reincarnation. Thousands of living beings should be the same, and should not be unique because of me."
"Your Majesty, don't worry," Li Changshou said sternly, "Under the iron rules, there must be flexibility, otherwise how can a pool of stagnant water be active
And this matter is not all due to the great virtue of the empress, the incarnations of the seven emotions all have great supernatural powers, and those who have a heart as firm as a rock cannot resist it, and definitely cannot be reincarnated like ordinary creatures.
Don't worry, empress, I have obtained the permission of His Majesty the Jade Emperor in advance for this matter, and I will give the reincarnated soul from the Reincarnation Pagoda later, and then go to the Palace of the Holy Mother.
With my brother escorting me, I will also be careful everywhere, so please rest assured, Madam. "
Houtu showed a slight smile, and nodded slightly, "Thank you, Changshou."
"this… "
Li Changshou was suddenly named by his real name, and he was a little caught off guard. He lowered his head and put the grass ring into a jade box, put it in his arms, and said with a smile:
"Your Majesty, call me Chang Geng."
Hou Tu's eyes became more gentle, and he said softly: "When I picked up your master's soul back, I accidentally saw some memory fragments, and I didn't intend to spy on it."
"By the way," the Archmage asked, "Is the soul of Fellow Daoist Qi Yuan here?"
Li Changshou's complexion darkened, and for some reason, in front of the archmage, the tip of his nose was inexplicably sour.
A moment later, the Archmage and Li Changshou stood beside the treasure pool with their hands behind their hands, looking at the golden balls of light floating up and down in the water.
The archmage sighed softly, bowed to Baochi, and said softly:
"That's not bad. It's better to be reincarnated and rebuilt than to turn into a dead leaf and wither."
"Master is already in a catastrophe," Li Changshou sighed, "It's God's will."
The great mage was worried that Li Changshou's spirit would be frustrated, and encouraged him: "It is not impossible to violate the will of heaven. The way of heaven is based on all spirits and all things, and it evolves in one direction under the simultaneous promotion of all spirits and all things.
This is the principle that the general trend cannot be changed, and the small things are calculated by the mind. "
Li Changshou savored carefully, "Thank you for your advice, senior brother."
Master Xuandu smiled and said:
"Well, in a few decades, I won't be able to guide you anymore... The balance of all things restricts the way of heaven.
Changshou, the road you have embarked on is destined to compete with heaven;
But how to fight and how much to fight is up to you, so don't put too much pressure on yourself because of this, don't forget, you are just a creature in the world after all.
Do everything according to your heart, follow the Tao, be natural and free, and you will always have it. "
So, this is the theoretical support for the Archmage to skip work if you want to
Li Changshou thanked him and wrote down all these words.
The two stayed by the pool for a while, and wandered around the edge of the six-way reincarnation disk for a while, before they got out of the six-path reincarnation disk and rushed to the reincarnation tower.
With the cover of the Taiji diagram, there is no way to detect ghosts, and there is no way to investigate.
Master Xuandu looked at the layout of Fengdu's major changes inside and outside the city, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid you are the only one who can use millions of heavenly soldiers as craftsmen."
Li Changshou smiled and said, "His Majesty the Jade Emperor is quite enlightened."
"Speaking of this, you should also pay attention," Master Xuandu said in a voice, "Uncle Jade Emperor's character is a brother, so you can rest assured, but Uncle Jade Emperor is the person closest to the way of heaven, and he is only affected by the way of heaven. Master Yu Daozu.
If Heaven wants to bring disaster to you, Uncle Jade Emperor may give you some orders, you must be careful and consider carefully. "
Li Changshou pondered for a few moments, and then replied via voice transmission: "Don't worry, senior brother, I've already made preparations before.
The things I do for heaven are actually divided into two types. One is that I take the initiative to calculate and earn merit for myself, cough, for the stability of heaven and earth.
The other is that His Majesty the Jade Emperor took the initiative to explain, such as the position of the chief teacher of Chang'e. "
"As long as you can tell the difference," the archmage stretched, "Chang'e, Heng'e, there is also a master named Wu Gang in the Moon Palace.
He is Heng'e's guard, and also the favorite general of the ancient Emperor. Be careful when you climb over the wall, he will not be polite to you if he catches you. "
Li Changshou's forehead was covered with black lines: "Brother, why should I go over the wall?"
"Yo, you still want to enter blatantly? Heng'e still has the title of Dayi's wife anyway, you... have a reputation, junior brother!"
The archmage raised his eyebrows lightly, and the corners of Li Changshou's mouth twitched.
All right, bear with it.
Later, I will take you to the Shang tribe to create a warm atmosphere for you, and bring up the two important things that the teacher explained about the schedule of teaching.
Tsk, I don't know how beautiful Kong Xuan will be after confirming his gender and transforming into Kong Xuan.
The Reincarnation Tower was in sight, and Li Changshou and the archmage exchanged glances, without needing to speak to discuss, they directly revealed their true form, released coercion, and floated over calmly.
"Brother, Ksitigarbha is always a disciple of the West."
"Well, tap this time to prevent him from turning his elbow inward in the future."
The end is full of tacit understanding.
…
Heavenly Court, Lingxiao Palace.
Civil servants and military generals gathered together, and several well-known Tianting recorders sealed their respective bronze mirrors.
Although Youqin Xuanya is very active now and has established a preliminary 'prestige' in the heavenly court, her immortal status is not enough to enter the Lingxiao Palace for discussion, and she has not been seen today.
Look at this moment:
The Jade Emperor in white sits on a high platform, and the old god plays a prize to the water god.
The second-order deity title is Taibai, and he does not enter the side of Xingxiu Fengjun.
Mu Gong said loudly: "Your Majesty, since the Water God entered the Heavenly Court, he has repeatedly made extraordinary achievements, relieved His Majesty's worries and problems, and worked hard for the rise of the Heavenly Court.
First set the four seas, Zhaolong clan, stand up at the Peach Banquet, eloquently speak out against the disciples of the Western Great Religion, and rescue the witch of Beizhou, shattered the conspiracy of the monster clan several times, and wiped out the body and spirit of the monster who tried to disrupt the sky.
The god of water reforms governance, cultivates the law of heaven, rectifies the underworld, and aspires for tomorrow.
Today, the merits of the water god are enough to be ranked second in the heavenly court.
In order that the water god can better assist His Majesty, this old minister has the courage to ask His Majesty to make the Water God a second-order righteous god! "
As soon as this remark came out, all the gods and gods were silent.
Mr. Dongmu, the old megaphone.
Every time Dong Mugong starts to speak impassionedly about something, it is His Majesty the Jade Emperor who will convey the 'result' of the matter to them through Mugong's mouth.
The promotion of the water god was a major event that could not have been expected.
It's the same as the power in the hands of the second-level righteous god in the heaven before, which is better than the third-level water god.
But at this time, these heavenly gods listened to it, but they didn't dare to stand up and plead for the water god; after all, the heavenly court was still in charge of His Majesty the Jade Emperor, and the water god was only assisting His Majesty the Jade Emperor.
Hearing the Jade Emperor laugh twice, he said: "It's time to mention the second rank to Chang Geng today. Which deity do you think is suitable?"
There was a moment of silence below, and one day general stood up and shouted: "Your Majesty, it is better to confer the Water God as the Grand Marshal of the Heavenly Court's Army and Horses. This second-level god is in charge of the Heavenly Court's military affairs, which is quite in line with the Water God."
A civil servant suddenly frowned and said, "Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate.
The water god is not a general of heaven, but the water god is unparalleled in resourcefulness, and should be a model for the civil servants of the heavenly court. "
The Jade Emperor smiled and nodded, feeling that this was reasonable, and said:
"My dear friends, express your own opinions, let's discuss this matter carefully today."
When Mu Gong heard the words, he immediately suppressed his words, knowing that His Majesty the Jade Emperor wanted to hear it, and if he had any other better opinions.
One after another, the immortal gods spoke up, and some immortal gods felt that the water god should become the emperor of one party, that is, the position of the four imperial princes, and that the real frontier official of the heavenly court should be under the Jade Emperor.
But someone immediately refuted, saying that the water god should sit in the heavenly court and should not be 'outside'.
It wasn't until the positions of the twelve second-tier righteous gods were mentioned that they didn't feel that they were suitable for water gods.
Ao Yi said, can you add a second-level god position, so that your elder brother can be a dragon god or something, so that other immortal gods who still want to be glorified can be rejected instantly.
—Which system does the water god belong to? This system must be taken seriously.
At this time, Duke Mu took advantage of the opportunity to stand up and took out the arrangement that he had discussed with the Jade Emperor before. The Jade Emperor nodded in satisfaction and let the gods continue to discuss.
At the same time, the underworld reincarnation tower.
The Archmage and Li Changshou were sitting on two wooden chairs, and Di Zang was sitting on the futon by the window, but at this moment they were frowning tightly.
Dizang sighed: "Water God, you came to my reincarnation pagoda for the first time, and you actually wanted me to be selfish... This is unavoidable, you look down on me too much."
Li Changshou laughed and said: "Fellow Daoist said something wrong, how can this be favoritism
The empress of the great virtue turned into the reincarnation disk of the six realms, and did not care about her own gains and losses for all living beings. At this time, she was just using the reincarnation pagoda to do something for the empress of the empress. This is the empress of the empress of the earth.
Or, fellow daoist, are you deliberately trying to embarrass Empress Empress Dowager? "
Dizang's mouth twitched, and he sighed:
"Water God, you have such a mouth, I really can't say it poorly.
The incarnation of Pindao once made a great wish here, to treat all living beings equally, not to be moved by all forces, and will not open the door to Western religion.
At the same time, Pindao needs to act according to the rules set by the water god, why did the water god ask me to break such rules today? "
Master Xuandu said indifferently: "Then this matter is attributed to the water god, and it is said that the water god asked you to do it."
Dizang smiled slightly, and said: "In the rank of heaven, it seems that the water god is now behind the poor way, but the water god can't give orders to the poor way."
Master Xuandu frowned and looked at Li Changshou.
Li Changshou shook his head helplessly. He was indeed only a third-rank righteous god, but at this moment, Ksitigarbha was already a god in the underworld, second only to Empress Houtu.
At this moment, a golden light flashed and fell on Li Changshou, and the strong power of heaven transformed various visions.
The clouds are like clouds, the glow is everywhere, and the sound of brisk playing music floats out of the top floor of the Samsara Pagoda.
Li Changshou realized it carefully, couldn't help but narrowed his eyes with a smile, and said calmly:
"The Master of the Reincarnation Tower Jizo obeys orders.
Open the reincarnation tower, and transform the seven emotions into the spirit of reincarnation, and the god will protect the spirit to find a place to stay. "
Ksitigarbha felt it carefully, frowned and said: "The way of heaven is so out of balance, how..."
"Don't get me wrong," Li Changshou said with a smile, "calculating the time, at this time, His Majesty the Jade Emperor happened to call the immortals and gods to discuss matters as usual, and it should be a meritorious deed to reward me.
Although the specific appointment needs the clear will of the Tongming Palace, but at this time in the sequence of heaven, the god is just in front of you. "
Ksitigarbha was silent for a while, and Master Xuandu almost laughed out loud.
Da da da da, brisk footsteps came from the side, Di Ting held a tray with his own magic power, and came up to offer fragrant tea to Li Changshou and Master Xuandu.
"Water God, don't be angry, don't be angry...
My master has a stubborn temper, let me tell him well, you drink tea first, drink tea.
Now my master and you, the water god, are working for Master Tiandao, please bear with me in the future, he doesn't understand anything, he thought he was on Lingshan. "
Dizang stared and listened, and listened with a sweep of his tail, put his two front hooves together, and patted Li Changshou's leg lightly.
The archmage was amused to see it, and said with a smile, "This tea is not bad."
Ting Ting trembled for a while, but didn't dare to say anything more.
"Leading the God of Water," Dizang squeezed out the words between his teeth, then turned around and looked at the scene outside the window.
The archmage gave Li Changshou a look, Li Changshou understood, stood up immediately, walked to the window sill, leaned against the window sill, and crossed his arms.
Li Changshou said: "After fighting and fighting, I didn't expect such a result, but you and I have become people who work together.
Let's talk calmly, I have actually been waiting for this day for a long time. "
"Water God's praise," Ksitigarbha said calmly, "but the defeated generals of the Water God are here to linger and die for the rest of their lives."
Li Changshou smiled calmly, took out the essence of the three major classics of Wenjiao "Routines", sorted out his thoughts, and said slowly:
"It would be great if you and I were not people with opposing positions and had no previous grudges."
[Routine one, cherish each other.]
Dizang's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he said, "The plan of the water god is above me, I have to admit it."
"You don't have to always call me the God of Water, just call me Chang Geng."
[Routine 2, call your name directly to get closer.]
Ksitigarbha suddenly hesitated to speak, sighed softly, and said, "Chang Geng."
"Ksitigarbha," Li Changshou asked with a smile in his eyes, "Actually, I have changed my opinion of you because when you jumped into the Tower of Reincarnation that day, the peace in your eyes did not waver at all.
This is indeed something that extraordinary gods can do, you deserve my admiration. "
[Routine 3: Thousands of wears, ten thousand wears, flattering does not wear.]
Dizang smiled wryly and shook his head, "It's just that he was forced to do nothing, and Pindao himself became the best strategy in the hands of the teacher.
It is somewhat involuntary, and the poor are not all for the consideration of all living beings. "
Li Changshou smiled and said: "The Empress Houtu turned into the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk, and she also considered stabilizing the final luck for the Wu Clan, but can you deny her great virtue? Of course I can't.
Actually you are too...
In terms of virtue, I am not as good as you.
I just oppressed you with the position of God, so I apologize to you here, I just want to do something for Empress Houtu, I hope you can understand. "
[Routine 4: Put on the top hat, play hard to get, use retreat as advance, and arouse empathy.]
Dizang's voice softened a lot, and he said: "I will do my best to do this matter, before I was only angry with you, Chang Geng, and I still can't accept the current situation in my heart.
How can the poor dare to compare themselves to the great virtues of the later soil
Today, even if Pindao is punished by Heaven, he will definitely make this happen. "
Li Changshou nodded with a smile, and said, "You and I share this responsibility...
Dizang, do you have any ideals
In other words, when you are practicing Taoism and have not been exposed to these major disputes, have you ever thought about why you practice Taoism? "
"Naturally, it is immortality, to seek the true meaning of Tao... Chang Geng, what are you laughing at? Is it really so vulgar?"
"It's vulgar, but it's the truth.
It's much simpler for me, just live to old age and die. When I first practiced Taoism, I didn't even dare to think about longevity. "
In the faint light of the Samsara Pagoda, the two people by the window were talking and laughing, as if they had been friends for many years.
In the rear, the archmage was drinking tea calmly, and when he heard movement from the side, he saw Diting covering his eyes with a paw, and sighed softly:
"My silly master..."
The great mage pointed out a finger and fixed Di Ting in place.
stable.
…
A moment ago, Lord Ling Xiao.
"The decree was handed down to the Hall of Tongming to enshrine Changgeng Aiqing as Taibai Xingjun, a second-rank righteous god in the heavenly court, and not included in the list of stars.
Master the transformation of the heaven and the earth, master the slaughter of the heaven and the earth, master the water affairs of the three realms, have the right to supervise the gods and gods of the heavens, and those who are less than the fourth rank of gods, Chang Geng Aiqing appoints and dismisses on his own.
In addition, Chang Geng's Aiqing concurrently served as the chief teacher of Chang'e in the Moon Palace, and the Water God's Mansion was changed into Taibai Hall.
On the day when the decree of Tongming Hall is finalized, Taibai will return to his throne, and the three worlds will celebrate together. "
