In the messy Great Hall of Bixiao Palace, Li Changshou looked at the Master Tongtian on the high platform through the many figures and dozens of light walls in front of him.
The Master Tongtian had a slightly helpless expression at this time, staring at the tenth grade and a half red lotus spinning rapidly on the left palm, and then at the bewildered scholar soul on the right palm.
This unassuming sage master has a more solemn face.
At this time, the scholar's soul was red from top to bottom, and his body kept expanding, shrinking, and expanding, as if it would explode at any time.
With the support of the Master Tongtian, nothing really happened to him.
But Li Changshou was praising again and again...
Regardless of the artistry of Honglian's collapse and explosion just now, these Jiejiao immortals shot really ruthlessly, quickly, accurately, and steadily!
The moment Honglian exploded and the leader of Tongtian made a move, Li Changshou's first reaction was to grab Yunxiao's arm and call for help from Tu Boss.
But just as he was about to raise his arm, a golden light flashed in front of him, and Yun Xiao was already standing in front of him with a Hunyuan golden bucket;
Almost in an instant, Uncle Zhao's Dinghai Divine Bead, Our Lady of the Golden Spirit's Four Elephant Pagoda, Qiongxiao's Golden Jiaojian, and more than a dozen protective spirit treasures thrown out by Taoist Duobao all appeared near Li Changshou, making Li Changshou There are more than a dozen defenses and three or four figures in front of him!
If this one person reacted so quickly, Li Changshou would not be too surprised. What shocked him was that almost all the master interceptors present made correct responses in the shortest possible time.
The style of interception and teaching... It's so terrifying.
At first glance, I have collectively studied "Three-Yuanhui Fighting Technique and Five-Yuanhui Killing the Enemy", and the real combat power is almost above their respective realms.
No wonder in the original Great Tribulation of the Conferred Gods, there were often situations where the masters of interception were able to fight against the crowd without being weak...
Of course, the one who reacted the fastest was the Master Tongtian, a sage.
The moment the red lotus exploded, there was a sword aura in front of all the immortals present, and the Master Tongtian held the red lotus with one hand, and forcibly suppressed the power of the twelfth rank red lotus that should have fully erupted.
The wave that swung out just now and almost destroyed half of the small world was just the aftermath of the power of the red lotus karma.
Suppressing such a treasure with one hand, the prestige of a saint is undoubtedly displayed!
"Master!"
Taoist Duobao put away the protective spirit treasures that had been thrown out, and hurriedly asked, "But someone is plotting against us?"
Master Tongtian shrugged, looked at Honglian in front of him, and sighed with a smile:
"It was us who stopped the education movement, which has far exceeded the limit it can bear.
These twelfth-grade lotus flowers were all the immature lotus seeds of the chaotic green lotus back then.
According to today's situation, if we want to suppress our Jiaojiao movement, we need the thirty-two-grade green lotus transformed from the only mature lotus seed of that chaotic green lotus to suppress our Jiaojiao movement.
It's a pity that Qinglian has resolved herself.
Cough, today's events are all within my expectations...
Chang Geng, the soul of this human race is completely separated from Honglian, and Honglian itself is already incomplete, and will not continue to disintegrate. This soul is no longer needed, so you can settle down. "
"Yes," Li Changshou agreed, and hurriedly turned out from behind the crowd.
— It wasn't he who hid back just now, with the Taiji Diagram and the Xuanhuang Pagoda on his body, what Li Changshou was thinking at the time was actually to protect Fairy Yunxiao.
It's not that his hands were slow, but he was protected by the immortals of the Jiejiao.
True junior treatment.
Li Changshou walked up to the steps and took the blank-faced scholar's soul over; golden light surged in his palm, wisps of merit enveloped the scholar's soul and melted his internal karma.
What surprised Li Changshou was that at this moment, the scholar's soul seemed to have been reborn, and the soul exuded the Dao charm of the innate spiritual treasure, and his soul was as strong as an ordinary real fairyland Qi refiner!
It was as if this was a spiritual creature that had just escaped from its old shell, somewhere between humans, immortals and ghosts...
Really strange.
All the Immortals put away their treasures and surrounded them.
Master Tongtian suspended this red lotus with only ten and a half petals left in front of him, pinched his fingers slightly, and kept thinking.
The sage stands at the apex of the Tao, but he is also a living being. At this time, he can see through the secrets of the heavens under the barrier of the catastrophe, which is enough to prove his strength. It is simply that his actions are less ostentatious, less airy, and he does not seem so unpredictable.
Zhao Gongming sighed with a smile: "In the end, it was a waste of work, and there were so many scenes and things in Biyou Palace."
Master Tongtian opened one eye and said, "Gongming, go restore the outside and count the damage to the treasures."
"Hey, yes!"
Uncle Zhao quickly bowed his head to accept the order, and hurried away with a few Jiejiaoxians.
The Holy Mother of Golden Spirit said in a low voice: "Master, could it be that there are so many people with karmic disabilities who have sneaked into our teaching and dragged down our luck."
Master Tongtian said with a smile:
"Good deeds and karmic obstacles are determined by heaven, and good and evil things are all true.
Back then when I was teaching as a teacher in the East China Sea and the South China Sea, if anyone had a wrong mind, they would not be able to enter my presence;
Those who can hear my teachings have a predestined relationship with my teachings. "
This is already true, Li Changshou couldn't help translating it in his heart...
[This wave, this wave is smashing teeth and swallowing in the stomach.]
The Holy Mother of Wudang asked from the side: "Master, why don't you dismiss those disciples who are only using our name to stop teaching, and in turn dragged down our teaching?"
The Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit said: "Then what happened
Before the catastrophe came, we relied on the immortals to uphold the prestige of intercepting the teaching, but after the catastrophe came, we wanted to drive away these fellow disciples
It is not my way to share blessings but not adversity. "
The Holy Mother of Wudang said solemnly: "Senior sister, don't say that, for this catastrophe, the ancestor of Zixiao Palace has already given Mingxin, and we, together with Chanjiao and Xixijiao, are in catastrophe.
It is a good thing to let these disciples with karmic obstacles leave our religion so that they can escape the catastrophe. "
Taoist Duobao pondered for a few moments: "The truth is so, but others will definitely slander it when they interpret it.
What's more, what should these expelled colleagues think? "
Qiong Xiao said with a smile: "Since we have said that we are blessed to share, we must share our difficulties.
This catastrophe is not the only one, we have also experienced it several times since ancient times. With Master here, we don't have to worry too much. "
The Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit said: "That's right, under the catastrophe, we must work together, if the heavens will bring a catastrophe, we will fight with all our strength to intercept a glimmer of life!"
All the masters here responded in unison:
"It's better to have red lotus, and it's okay to ruin it."
"This probably means that we are going to practice the teachings and fight against the catastrophe to the end."
"Hmph, those fellows who explain and teach, I guess they will wake up laughing during their practice!"
Fairy Yun Xiao took two steps forward and said softly:
"Master, is this red lotus unrecoverable? If it is thrown into the sea of blood, can it be made up?"
"Just now we taught luck, directly crushing the rhizome of this red lotus."
Master Tongtian showed regret on his face, but in a blink of an eye, he returned to a smile, pushed the red lotus out of thin air to the disciples, and said: "This thing is a good spiritual treasure after repairing it.
Which of you will use it? "
Li Changshou: ...
Is this how Jujiao distributes treasures
Then he, who can barely be regarded as a quasi-half-intercepting immortal, is not a disciple of the Renjiao...
Think peaches, think peaches.
Although his involvement with Jiejiao is deep, he needs to distinguish between public and private. If he himself falls into the quagmire, how can he get people out of the quagmire
The soul in his hand had settled down now, and it didn't take too much merit to clean up the karma on the scholar's body, but on the contrary, it made Li Changshou feel a lot of emotion in his heart.
——The important content of the Dao of Equilibrium is the system of human beings, immortals, demons and demons; beings like scholars who coincidentally form "special" existences will help Li Changshou complete the Dao of Equilibrium.
Only by understanding all things can we balance all things.
The red lotus was in front, but the Jiejiao immortal didn't fight for it, and they all stared at the lotus with some disappointment.
The twenty or thirty immortals present are aware of the disadvantages of cutting off teaching.
The fire of hope that had been ignited before was extinguished in a basin of cold water, and each of them felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts.
It was indeed a big setback to the morale of the masters of the Jiejiao.
Duo Bao laughed and said: "Master, this treasure was brought by Junior Brother Chang Geng, although it is damaged, it can be transformed into a congenital spirit lotus, why not give it to Junior Brother Chang Geng.
Brothers and sisters, you shouldn't have any opinions on this. "
All the priests nodded in unison.
Li Changshou hurriedly said: "Although this kind of treasure is damaged, it is still considered a great treasure, and this treasure still retains the power to absorb karma.
There are only me and Senior Brother Xuandu in the Renjiao, and I am working in the Heavenly Court, Senior Brother Xuandu will not increase my karma. In all fairness, it is most appropriate to stay in the Jujiao.
Uncle, according to my disciple's humble opinion, it's better to let senior brother Duobao hold this treasure, and before the catastrophe becomes a real general, he can dispel more of the luck contained in the interception. "
The Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit said from the side: "Master just said that karma is just determined by the way of heaven, and I don't teach it to judge good and evil based on it."
Li Changshou glanced at Fairy Yunxiao, who looked expectantly.
Obviously, she wanted to convince the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit herself.
Then, go and convince the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit.
By the way, we must also take this opportunity to instill some 'necessary' ideas in Jujiao.
"Senior sister's words are wrong," Li Changshou said warmly, "The way of heaven is just to set rules to restrain all living beings.
Because there are so many sentient beings and the universe is too large, the rules set by the Dao of Heaven must be simple and direct enough to maintain general stability.
Just like in the mortal world, many laws in big cities come from the rules of 'killers die, wounders punish, stealers show to the public'.
The same is true of merit and karma, and the way of heaven has not refined the constraints.
In the eyes of me, a disciple of Human Race who was born in the human race, I understand what Master Uncle said just now in this way.
For example, a good person with great merit and virtue killed four members of a family of five because of certain things, and only one young man survived. This young man sharpened himself and found an opportunity to kill the good man to avenge his relatives , caught a big karma.
Therefore, we cannot use simple merit and karma to judge whether a living being is good or evil.
But Senior Sister Jin Ling, did this young man do evil? "
The Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit said: "Revenge is not evil, but he will suffer a lot of karma himself. This is the injustice of heaven."
"That's right, but he's still doing evil."
Li Changshou said seriously: "Senior sister, don't worry, just listen to me.
Letting go of the good man's identity as an enemy, the young man's murder was essentially evil.
The injustice of the law of heaven lies in the fact that the merits of a good person are turned into karma on a young man, and the young man suffers torture that he should not have endured.
For the young man, the way of heaven sheltered the biggest villain in his eyes.
But for those mortals who have been helped by good people, this boy is evil.
When the young man went to the underworld and faced the judge, what he got was the severe sentence of going to the eighteenth level of hell to suffer. "
Qiong Xiao said: "Then... according to this, can this young man not be able to take revenge?"
"Yes, but you don't have to kill people with your own hands, and you don't have to let yourself fall into the evil way. This is why the way of heaven wants to rejuvenate the heavenly court."
Li Changshou took two steps forward, bowed to the Master Tongtian, and said loudly:
"If Heaven is strong enough and can influence the Three Realms, this story of a good man and a young man can be improved.
Just imagine, if a good person harms the parents of a teenager, he has already fallen into the evil way. The heavenly court can sentence the good person to die, and the merits accumulated by the good person can be used to improve his luck after reincarnation.
If the young man didn't go to kill someone, he would avenge himself. Wouldn't that be a hundred times better than the ending of killing evil with evil
The way of heaven prospers the court of heaven, just to maintain the word of justice under the simple iron rules of the way of heaven! "
"Fair..."
The Virgin of the Golden Spirit muttered to herself, and the immortals of Jiejiao were also thinking.
Master Tongtian smiled at Li Changshou, but he didn't speak. He slumped on the steps to observe the reactions of his disciples.
Li Changshou was really relieved to see that the sage master allowed this time...
Today's Tianting publicity work is complete!
It is really quite troublesome not to talk about the concept of 'rule of law' directly.
——After all, in the eyes of heaven, the disciples of the three religions of Taoism are all "lawless" masters.
If today's words can plant a seed in the hearts of the Jiejiao immortals, so that even one or two of them will not be so resistant to Heaven and Fengshen, Li Changshou will not be wasting his words.
Li Changshou changed the subject and returned to the red lotus.
"When the catastrophe comes, immortals with karma can easily turn into catastrophe ashes. If it is really a person with a bad heart, it will be fine. If it is a young Taoist friend, wouldn't it be a pity
Competing with the way of heaven and cutting off a chance is not just about fighting and killing.
Methods, strategies, flexibility, games, calculations... are actually extremely important.
When I listened to the teacher's teaching, I was quite touched by a word.
The strength of magical powers, the power of treasures, and the level of knowledge are not the main factors that determine your life and death, but arrogance is. "
After saying that, Li Changshou made a few bows to various places, and then calmly walked back to Fairy Yunxiao's side.
Yun Xiao was like most Jiejiao immortals at this time, with a pensive expression on his face and a little light shining in his eyes.
Taking advantage of Jiejiaoxian's inattention, Master Tongtian secretly blinked at Li Changshou;
Li Changshou hurriedly bowed his head in salute, not daring to receive such praise from the saint.
He took the scholar's soul back into the magic weapon for nourishing the soul, thinking about the words just now in his heart.
In fact, according to all his principles of seeking stability, some things should not be said; but in order to plan for the future more steadily, there are some things he said today, maybe they will be effective.
"Thank you."
Yun Xiao suddenly said something.
Li Changshou smiled calmly, and looked at her, without saying a word.
…
Half a day later, outside Sanxian Island.
Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao laughed and flew back to the thousands of miles of cloud and mist. Fairy Yun Xiao drove a cloud, and Li Changshou set up a "flying cloud" and floated to Nanbuzhou.
The damaged red lotus was naturally left in Jiejiao, so it would be good to alleviate some karma.
On the cloud, Fairy Yunxiao was sitting sideways, while Li Changshou was meditating obediently, and the two of them would quickly move away if they made eye contact.
Inexplicably, Li Changshou really found the "waves" and "slowness" of the "green years" in his previous life.
Yun Xiao said softly: "Your words are right, arrogance is the main cause of our life and death, it really makes people think deeply."
Li Changshou said: "This is actually the teacher's teaching."
—Actually, he read these words in a book in his previous life, and he was quite impressed.
However, for a more reasonable explanation and without showing too much of his own edge, such a "good thing" is attributed to his teacher Taiqing Shengren, and the teacher has no reason to blame.
Li Changshou felt a little guilty, and calmly changed the topic: "As far as you know, how many masters with deep karma do Jujiao have?"
"I know how many people there are," Yun Xiao whispered a few dao names.
When he heard the word 'Shiji', Li Changshou couldn't help but shine in his eyes.
Empress Shiji, who sits at home and shoots arrows from outside the sky, is a Jiejiao immortal who is "ranked in the top three in the unlucky index of the gods" and has a lot of karma herself
Li Changshou didn't want to add to Yunxiao's worries, so he didn't ask more about this matter, and immediately passed it lightly.
Just like that, the two chatted a few words, and they got closer and closer to each other, changing from a distance of three feet to a distance of two feet.
But if you want to go further, there are many tests.
Yunxiao found out the context, and suddenly asked: "What did Master tell you when he took you to Baochi?"
"I didn't say too much, I just briefly talked about Honglian," Li Changshou sighed, "The third uncle is a good master."
"Well," Fairy Yunxiao said, "Master has never been stingy with us, caring for us like a father."
"This... felt it."
"What's the matter?" She asked curiously, her eyes were full of light, and her eyelashes fluttered slightly.
Li Changshou said: "When the red lotus broke out, the uncle's first reaction was to protect the disciple with sword energy, and then he went to suppress the red lotus and rescue Chongbao.
In the past few days, I went from the teacher's Taiqing Temple to the second uncle's Yuxu Palace, and then to the third uncle's Biyou Palace, it was half a dream. "
Yun Xiao said softly: "It's hard for you too, I keep running around for the Daoist sect."
"I just hope that the catastrophe will pass as soon as possible," Li Changshou said softly, "In this way, when you and I go out for a walk, Master Uncle can rest assured that he won't watch it with his own eyes like this."
Yun Xiao couldn't help but tilted his head.
In Biyou Palace, a group of Jiejiao disciples sitting up and down the steps looked at each other;
The leader of Tongtian, who was leaning on a higher place, frowned, wondering: "He can see through the methods of being a teacher?"
Before the disciples had time to answer, they heard Li Changshou's laughter again in the square 'picture frame' created by Zhu Xian's Four Swords:
"I'm talking nonsense."
Yun Xiao looked around quite seriously, and arranged several layers of clouds and mist casually.
At the same time, Taiqing watched.
A certain veteran looked at the phantom of the Taiji diagram in front of him with a smile. The picture was bright and clear, and the voice was full and refused to be distorted.
Let's say that Li Changshou and Fairy Yunxiao talked and smiled all the way to Nanfang Buzhou.
Li Changshou summoned the Zaowu Banner, a treasure of the god of water, and searched everywhere. He visited several dragon kings of great rivers, and found three places where the scholar's soul could be placed.
Li Changshou took out the scholar's soul and said that he would fulfill his promise to make the scholar a little god in heaven.
The scholar burst into tears of gratitude and kept saluting.
"I really give you three choices this time," Li Changshou said with a smile.
The scholar shivered a few times, feeling a little frightened, and he was a little relieved after listening to the options given by Li Changshou.
It's nothing more than choosing three different land boundaries. Fortunately, he didn't let him go to hell'glacier'.
Then, the scholar's soul began to murmur:
"Choose Jiadi, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, but few people. If you become a little god there, the only ones who can talk are insects and fish.
Choose place B, where there are more people, and you can receive worship, but too many people feel uncomfortable.
Land C is chosen, where there are not many people, but there is only a small river, so nothing can be achieved... What should I do? "
Li Changshou smiled without saying a word, letting the scholar choose and choose, and wandering around the mountains and rivers and walking with Fairy Yunxiao in this secular scenery.
However, after a while...
The scholar started scratching his head, staring at the three words A, B, and C floating in front of him, and kept raising and lowering his hands.
Li Changshou, who was talking to Yun Xiao about how he was groping in the mirage that day, suddenly felt a movement in his heart...
There are guests in the back hall of Anshui City Sea God Temple!
Li Changshou's divine sense swept over him, and he didn't dare to be careless. After a few words with Fairy Yunxiao, he sank his divine sense.
Not long after, an old fairy skin Taoist came out of the ground and bowed to the figure waiting in the inner hall.
"Senior Brother Yuding, I don't know why you are here today?"
