The wind on the cloud platform is warm, and the winding path leaves fragrance.
In a gazebo on Sanxian Island, there are seven figures standing or sitting, all of them intercepting and passing on the disciples.
The expressions of the immortals at this moment are not the same.
Daoist Duobao is the most calm, holding a cup of hot tea with a smile and savoring it slowly;
Zhao Gongming and the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit were a little impatient, pacing back and forth in the gazebo.
Yun Xiao sat in the corner of the gazebo, with long hair coiled around his temples, wearing a light Confucian skirt, his face was cold and beautiful, but he didn't show much emotion, always gentle, watching his two younger sisters.
Qiong Xiao in a light yellow dress, Bi Xiao in a short skirt and a jacket, and the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit who prefers a light green gauze dress, the three fairies gathered on both sides of the stone table in the middle of the gazebo, Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao While playing chess, the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit is "pointing" beside her...
The three of them had the most relaxed expressions, as if the matter here had nothing to do with them.
The crisp sound of 'da da', mixed with the chirping of birds and insects coming with the wind, made this moment in the gazebo quite peaceful.
Outside the gazebo, Zhao Gongming turned around to say something, but he opened his mouth only to let out a sigh, and continued to pace with his hands behind his back.
Qiong Xiao stared at the chess game with a pair of wonderful eyes, holding a round chess piece with her slender fingers, and said with a smile:
"Brother, you just have to say something. We are here to discuss countermeasures. If we don't say anything, how can we discuss it?"
"well… "
Zhao Gongming sighed, "How can I say this
Chang Geng has a good friendship with us, but he is a disciple of the Human Cult after all, and he will be in charge of this catastrophe...
I actually know that Chang Geng has been worried about us getting into a catastrophe, and whenever there is something to gain merit, he will call you and me to join him, in order to have more security in the catastrophe.
He has done enough for us, we can't rely on Chang Geng for everything. "
"Uh... huh?"
The Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit in a light green dress said in surprise: "Is there such a good thing as collecting merit?"
Qiong Xiao rolled his eyes, his expression was exactly the same as Bi Xiao's, with a little pride in his disgust.
Qiong Xiao said: "Anyway, I haven't met a few times."
Bi Xiao said: "That's right, that's right! The disciples of the Renjiao are always biased!"
On the side, Daoist Duobao narrowed his eyes with a smile, and just about to tease a few words, he subconsciously glanced at Yunxiao...
Bear with one hand, bear with one hand.
As a master of Jiejiao, you should pay attention to your own demeanor and the rigor of your speech.
The Holy Mother of Gui Ling thought about it carefully, and asked in a low voice: "Didn't we discuss how to take the red lotus from the sea of blood? Why did we get entangled with Junior Brother Chang Geng instead?"
Zhao Gongming explained:
"If the story of the red lotus is true, we must fight for it.
It is understandable that 80% of Chanjiao will fight for it. It is unreasonable to say that such a treasure must be intercepted by us.
In this way, Chang Geng's attitude became very important. "
"good."
The Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit answered next, leaning against the railing on one side with her jade arms in her arms;
Her slender figure was naturally charming, but unfortunately it was completely concealed by her own coercion.
I heard the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit say: "If you don't work with Chang Geng, it's hard to feel how powerful he is.
Predict the enemy's opportunities, judge the enemy's path, and then give a comprehensive response method. Even in the face of the sage's calculations, you can also use your own quick wits to deal with it.
Such a character can borrow several treasured bodyguards from Master Taiqing at any time, and he himself has an unpredictable balance path, and he is also the leader of the current catastrophe, the god of power in the heaven.
What's more, the attitude of this junior is to some extent the attitude of the master.
If he is won over by the teaching side, our chances of winning the red lotus to suppress the teaching luck will be extremely slim. "
The Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit pursed her lips and blinked, thinking for a while.
Bi Xiao whispered: "Is the brother-in-law-to-be already this powerful?"
"Elder Sister," Qiong Xiao said, "What did you say in the letter you sent him just now?"
Yun Xiao said softly: "Just let him not be embarrassed, and judge this matter from the standpoint of a disciple of Renjiao, and don't let personal circumstances affect your own judgment."
Hearing this, the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit frowned slightly, a little dissatisfied with this, and asked one after another:
"Junior Sister Yunxiao, isn't personal relationship not important
He and you are a future Taoist couple, why can't we use this to win him over to our side
You are a disciple of the Jiejiao sage, and he is a disciple of the Renjiao sage. If it is a match made in heaven, the Renjiao and the Jiejiao should be closer. Why can't you benefit from him? "
Fairy Yunxiao said softly: "Maybe senior sister doesn't know, I have nothing to do with him, I have no plans, nothing to do, but we are happy with each other, and we are as peaceful as clouds and lonely geese.
Because of my affairs, he has already done too many things that shouldn't be done, how can I use this relationship to make him deviate? "
The Holy Mother of Jinling showed a little determination in her eyes: "Junior sister, do you only care about the relationship between the two of you, but disregard the righteousness of the teacher?"
"Children's selfishness belongs to children's selfishness, and teacher's affection belongs to teacher's affection. Why must the two be confused?"
Yun Xiao stood up, and the plain white dress slid like flowing water, leaving no wrinkles.
In her gentle words, there was an unyielding firmness:
"As I said in the letter to him, later on, if there is an order from the elder brother, you and I will go to the sea of blood to search for the twelve karma-obstructed red lotuses, and I will do what a disciple of the Jiejiao should do.
If you use personal affection to confuse qingyi, or use qingyi to confuse personal affection, it's just that you can't do both. "
The Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit was about to speak again, and Zhao Gongming and Taoist Duobao hurried forward, stealing it almost at the same time.
Zhao Gongming hurriedly said: "I think what Second Sister said makes sense, but what Jin Ling said is also good."
"Two junior sisters, don't quarrel, don't quarrel," Daoist Duobao said with a smile, "Red Lotus has not yet been born, maybe the whole thing is the scheme of the second leader of Western Sect, let us have a dispute with Chanjiao."
Bi Xiao snorted softly: "There is no shortage of treasures to suppress the religious movement, so what are you arguing with us?"
The Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit said indifferently: "They certainly don't want to see us in peace.
The few disciples I sent to search for the whereabouts of the red lotus in the sea of blood before, all found the traces of the disciples of Chanjiao.
If the catastrophe is destined to lose the three thousand immortals of the great teachings, it is hoped to explain the teachings, and the share of the three thousand falls on our Jiejiao and the Western teachings. "
"Hey," Qiong Xiao pinched the chess piece and tapped his pretty face lightly, "Who wants to die for himself or his fellow disciples? This is all reasonable, but there is no need to blame Chanjiao too much."
Daoist Duobao laughed:
"I said, everyone, are you thinking too far ahead
Now that the horoscope has not been written yet, I start to think about the benefits of us taking the red lotus
According to my brother, this time, this twelfth-grade red lotus is the best if it has one, and it will not make the current situation worse anyway, so why worry about it? "
"Senior brother, you are talking about free and easy!"
The Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit shook her head and did not say any more.
"Well," Zhao Gongming said, "We who are too familiar with Chang Geng, don't show up directly this time, so as not to embarrass Chang Geng.
Eldest brother and junior sister Gui Ling, you two might as well go to the Nether Realm first and discuss this matter with Chang Geng.
Presumably, the Chanjiao side should also send someone there. "
"I'll go too, okay sister?"
Qiong Xiao inquired aloud, and did not forget to slowly drop the pieces, only to see the changing situation on the chessboard, and the pieces made of jade exuded crystal light.
Five sons in a row, already won!
Bi Xiao patted his forehead in frustration, this plaything from Little Qiongfeng made Sanxian Island a lot more fun.
Fairy Yunxiao thought for a while, nodded slightly, and agreed.
The six Jiejiao disciples discussed again for a while, and finally decided that Daoist Duobao, the elder brother of the Jiejiao, would take the inner disciple, the Holy Mother of Guiling, and the outer disciple, Qiong Xiao, to the Nether Realm to discuss the twelve ranks with Li Changshou. The Red Lotus thing.
Qiong Xiao changed into a dignified long dress, washed and dressed carefully, and dressed up like a "bright and beautiful little fairy, a beautiful woman with boundless beauty".
After Qiongxiao had cleaned up properly, Duobao opened the earth cave, and Qiongxiao and the Holy Mother of Guiling got into it. The three quickly left Sanxian Island and rushed to the Netherworld.
Yun Xiao walked to the edge of the gazebo and looked at the sky. The breeze blew a strand of blue hair around her ear, and the slender hand hidden in the soft sleeve was holding the warm copper coin.
"Junior Sister Yunxiao."
A soft call came from behind, and the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit whispered: "The words just now are not dissatisfied with you. You and I have known each other for many years, and I also know your temperament. Don't take it to heart."
Yun Xiao turned around and smiled lightly, his beautiful eyes were full of smiles.
Zhao Gongming said: "I don't know whether the story of the twelve-grade red lotus is true or not, the timing of it appearing is too subtle."
"Someone must be scheming later," said the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit, "It may be the Western religion, or some saint, or someone we don't know. Don't be careless."
Fairy Yunxiao muttered to herself: "I don't know how he should respond."
Accompanied by a low murmur, this concern followed her eyes on the clouds, drifted to the sky, and then turned to Li Changshou's ears.
…
Ding!
ding ding ding—
Reincarnation Tower, on the wooden ladder leading to the top floor.
The big green-haired dog, which had shrunk its size by half, was holding a tray full of teacups, trembling at every step, and slowly climbed to the top floor.
Di Ting first ran to Li Changshou, handed over a cup of tea with Xianli, and smiled in his mouth: "Master Water God, drink tea, drink tea."
A blue vein popped up on Jizo's forehead.
Afterwards, Di Ting turned his feet and ran to sit in front of Bai Ze, holding a cup of tea in his front paws: "Master Bai Ze, drink tea, drink tea."
Jizo had cross veins on his forehead.
Unconsciously listening to this, he pushed two cups of tea to Gold-winged Dapeng and Wei Shenmo with his celestial power, and said in a warm voice: "The humble house is simple, and the two marshals have worked hard."
The two Heavenly Court Marshals expressed their thanks.
finally!
Trembling all over, Di Ting held the last cup of tea in front of the strong man transformed into a green bull.
"Senior, drink tea!
All the mounts in the Three Realms want to be at your level, to be able to carry a sage master everywhere! "
Qingniu smiled calmly, took the teacup, and raised his hand to touch Di Ting's head.
In an instant, Di Ting's green and white long hair was dyed a little pink, and he ran behind Li Changshou, and the whole beastman stood up to help Lord Water God beat his back.
Wei Shen looked at this scene with a frown at the end, a little bit...
stay.
Is this the divine beast that can listen to the voices of all spirits in the three realms
Chacha, chacha, chacha!
And over there, the young Taoist who is sharpening the knife and holding the iron pot is really the master of the reincarnation tower who was touched by the former incarnation in the Netherworld last time-Ksitigarbha
"Uh," Wei Shenmo couldn't help rubbing the center of his brows, feeling a little uncomfortable.
Li Changshou said slowly: "Listen carefully, can you know about Honglian?"
Di Ting hurriedly said: "Lord Water God, the story about the red lotus should be true, but the little beast doesn't know where the red lotus is hidden."
"Previously, the Western Cult searched in the sea of blood, but what was the result?"
"Westernism has sent this time..."
"Hmm!"
Jizo coughed hard, and lit up the dagger in his hand.
Di Ting shivered a few times, turned his head and glared at his master, and then continued: "Master Water God, don't mind, my master still has feelings for the Western religion.
I will never tell you, Lord Water God, that the Western Sect has sent thousands of souls, from disciples of saints to monstrous beasts and monsters of karma, to search the sea of blood for a long time, but they left without finding anything.
Then there was the news that the Twelve Poinsettias were about to be born. "
Dizang snorted, threw the dagger in his hand, and said calmly: "The god of water might as well stay for a meal today. Pindao heard that Mr. Bai Ze has a good handicraft, and I don't know how many times he has made braised beasts!"
Di Ting grinned, ran back behind Di Zang, and lay down calmly.
Bai Ze smiled slightly: "This kind of cooking is harmful to the heaven...Since Fellow Daoist Ksitigarbha has been included in the sequence of the heavenly dao, why should he pretend to be a disciple of the Western religion?"
"At first, I thought that cultivating the Dao and asking about longevity was for me. I didn't realize it until I realized it clearly. Looking back, I realized that everything came from two words, follow."
Dizang said slowly: "Just like the water god, ever since we stepped into a portal and cultivated a supernatural power, we have already been branded with such an indelible brand.
Many mortals cannot travel hundreds of miles in their entire lives;
As for you and me, immortals, even though you can travel three thousand worlds and even explore the sea of chaos, you still have to remember where the roots are, otherwise your mind will be confused. "
Li Changshou gave a thumbs up: "Fellow Daoist seems to be really idle recently, and there are so many immortal insights."
"Hmph," Ksitigarbha put back his smile, "Today I will definitely not help you find the Twelve Poinsettias."
"Yeah?"
The gazes of Li Changshou, Bai Ze, Qingniu, Wei Shenmo, and Golden Winged Roc all fell behind Dizang.
There, Di Ting held a wooden sign in his mouth, with a few big crooked characters drawn on it.
[Hell, karma and evil spirits;
Honglian is absorbing karma]
"Um?"
Dizang turned his head and glanced, Di Ting slammed the wooden sign on his mouth, and Di Ting swallowed it very quickly, and chewed it calmly for a few times.
"what are you eating?"
"Master, in order to express my respect to senior Qingniu, I tried to ponder the unique abilities of the Niu tribe, and chewed the food I ate last time."
Dizang immediately looked disgusted, and moved to the side.
Li Changshou stood up at this moment, and said with a smile, "Since Fellow Daoist Ksitigarbha refuses to help, then forget it, let's go."
The other four masters agreed, stood up and said goodbye to Ksitigarbha and Truth Ting.
Dizang didn't get up, but just sat there with his eyes closed.
After leaving the reincarnation tower, Li Changshou frowned and thought for a while, thinking about the method given by Di Ting.
The more I think about it, the more I feel that this method is really feasible.
If one can find a vicious soul with enough karma and not too strong soul power in the eighteenth hell, wouldn't it be equivalent to marking the power of karma
Afterwards, you only need to trace the flow of the power of karma, put in more 'samples', and maybe you can find the whereabouts of the twelve karma red lotus!
It's better than waiting here.
Wei Shenmo asked: "What is the meaning of the hint given by that truth listening?"
Li Changshou smiled and explained the method he had just thought of in the language of the prehistoric Taoism. Except for Bai Ze, the other three were all stunned.
Qingniu smiled and said, "This Truth Listening is really clever."
"It should be Ji Zang reminding us," Li Changshou said, "It's just that Ji Zang still has a persistence that he doesn't want to let go of, so he borrows the help of listening."
Wei Shenmo smiled and said, "Why can't Di Ting decide on his own?"
"Marshal," Li Changshou said in a warm voice, "the wooden sign didn't add any restrictions, and Earth Store has immortal consciousness anyway."
Wei Shenmo patted his forehead, his smile was mostly emotion.
"Let's go, let's go to the eighteenth floor of hell to pick..."
Li Changshou paused, looked at the streamer passing over Fengdu City, and said with a smile:
"Let's split into two routes, the brothers from Chanjiao are here.
Please trouble Mr. Bai and Jinpeng to take my token to choose suitable souls with karma, and I will receive a few senior brothers here. "
"good."
"Teacher, don't worry!"
Baize and the golden-winged roc each agreed, then turned and rushed to Fengdu City for Samsara Immortal Island.
The streamers that flew over turned into four figures, they were Chi Jingzi, Huanglong Zhenren, Taiyi Zhenren, and Yuding Zhenren, and a light shadow flew out of Taiyi Zhenren's sleeve, but Lingzhu also came along with him .
The real Huanglong seemed to be afraid of the embarrassment of the atmosphere, and started laughing as soon as he landed, showing the social etiquette that was customary in the prehistoric era to the fullest.
The two sides greeted each other, and Wei Shenmo and Qingniu stood behind Li Changshou without much sense of presence.
Chi Jingzi glanced at Master Taiyi, but the latter was looking up at the sky with his hands behind his back, completely silent.
Li Changshou took the initiative and said: "Several senior brothers, they should have come here for the matter of Honglian."
"That's right," Chi Jingzi showed a gentle smile, and just about to continue speaking, the universe beside them suddenly collapsed into a round hole, and three figures jumped out of it immediately.
The chubby Taoist in the front smiled calmly: "It's better to come early than to come by coincidence. This is really a coincidence."
Chi Jingzi frowned slightly, and immediately brought several Chanjiao immortals to salute, calling him 'Senior Brother Duobao'.
The Holy Mother of Guiling and Qiong Xiao didn't come forward to salute, but just nodded.
Ren Chan intercepted the representatives of the three religions, so they met unexpectedly.
Although it wasn't raining all the time, the atmosphere was indeed not very harmonious.
Li Changshou pondered for a while, and was about to invite a few people to sit in the Heavenly Soldiers camp and discuss...
"Uncle Chang Geng!"
Ling Zhuzi voluntarily jumped in front of Li Changshou, showing an innocent and innocent smile, "I want to go back to Heaven and continue my practice for a while!"
"That's right," Li Changshou raised his hand and patted Ling Zhuzi's shoulder, encouraging him, "If you don't forget to make progress, you will get the right result."
Master Taiyi twitched his mouth: "Sure enough, raising an apprentice is like raising a daughter, and they can all be abducted."
Chi Jingzi suddenly showed a little smile.
Jiejiao's three immortals looked at each other a few times, each feeling a little bit of pressure.
At this moment, Qiong Xiao smiled, and naturally jumped in front of Li Changshou, bowed slightly to Li Changshou, and stretched out two slender hands naturally, holding Li Changshou's arm.
Moisturizing the lips and whitening the teeth, the sound shook softly, Bai Ling mellowed and mellowed the hearts of the people:
"Brother-in-law~ I also want to go to heaven to play."
Li Changshou froze, his hairs stood on end, and he wanted to earn money but couldn't. At this time, every movement he made might be over-interpreted.
Chi Jingzi and Huanglong's foreheads were covered with black lines, and they subconsciously looked at Taiyi.
Come on, can't lose!
Immediately, Immortal Taiyi stepped back half a step, hid behind Immortal Yuding, and said:
"What are you thinking, Heng'e is not my sister!"
The corner of Li Changshou's mouth twitched crazily, feeling that he had been kicked out of the group for no reason, with a word of danger hanging on his forehead.
The two little hands that seemed to be wrapping around his arms were pinching and twisting hard at this moment...
Fortunately, at this time only the [high-level · main body] Paper Taoist is active outside, and the main body is hidden in the sleeve of another Paper Taoist within the sleeve of this Paper Taoist, without feeling any pain.
