Chapter 256 This is not a coincidence [Third update please vote]
Xuan Ming fell, the ninth day after Hou Tu exorcised the demon.
In Dong'an City, in a store called "Lingquan Bath and Enlightenment Pool" that had just been renovated but not yet opened, Li Ping'an walked out of the dressing room wearing a pair of big pants, climbed up the stairs like a mortal, and went to the water bath on the top floor.
Inside.
Wow, wow.
Li Ping'an sat in the soup, feeling the refreshing feeling brought by this pool of spiritual spring, and gently exhaled the turbid air, feeling a little more relaxed.
It feels really good to take a break from the busy schedule.
Although I am also a little curious about the scenery of the 'Kundao Enlightenment Pond' next door that is isolated by the formation;
But His majesty, the Heavenly Emperor, cannot casually use the power of Heaven to spy.
"Why don't you go and take a steam in the elixir sauna?"
Li Dazhi floated over with his hands behind his back, calmly got into the water, untied the bath towel around his waist, and said with a smile:
"I just put three ten-thousand-year spiritual roots in it. Steam them now for the best effect."
"No, Dad," Li Ping'an took a towel and covered his eyes, lying against the edge of the spiritual pool, "Why do you want to make this place a stepped place? There are more than a dozen pools with such a high drop from top to bottom.
.”
"I don't understand."
Li Dazhi narrowed his eyes and smiled:
"In the bottom pool, if you hold three spiritual stones for an hour, you will be rich and prosperous for many years. The higher the pools are, the more expensive they are. The quality of the spiritual stones underneath them is better, and the medicinal materials used to brew them are more valuable.
"Just the pool we soak in, three hundred spirit stones for an hour."
"What the hell?"
Li Ping'an almost blurted out: "Isn't this robbing the spirit stone?"
"What do you mean by grabbing spiritual stones?" Li Dazhi clicked his tongue softly, "The pools below are quite cheap, only the pools on the three floors above are more expensive. This is called the Enlightenment Pool. It can help people break through bottlenecks."
"You are becoming more and more capable of being a black-hearted capitalist."
"Isn't this to earn spiritual stones for you in heaven?"
Li Dazhi lay comfortably in the pool and said leisurely: "I see you have been depressed these past few days when no one is around. What's on your mind? Who do you want to confess to but don't know how to say it?"
"It's nothing, I'm just thinking about something...Dad, please use dialect."
Li Ping'an leaned against the pool, picked up two red fruits, put them in his mouth and chewed them slowly.
"I was wondering why Xuan Ming had to die because of the Witch Clan's affairs."
"Stop thinking nonsense, wasn't Xuan Ming forced to death by the great leader of the West?" Li Dazhi said leisurely.
"But," Li Ping'an frowned, "the leader is in the dark."
Li Dazhi blinked and laughed dumbly: "You are just wondering why the leader didn't do his best to save Xuan Ming?"
"It's not...well, if Xuan Ming can also surrender to Heaven, it will be a rare help to Heaven."
Li Pingan found a reason for himself.
Li Dazhi casually hit a splash of water and hit Li Ping'an's face, laughing and scolding: "Look at your stupid look, how can you be the emperor of heaven?"
"I'm starting to get on the right track now."
Li Ping'an curled his lips unconvinced: "Then let's ask the father of the Emperor of Heaven to clear up the confusion and give a lesson."
"There's nothing to puzzle over."
Li Dazhi floated around leisurely:
"You must always remember three principles.
"First, the master who is on your side temporarily may not always be on your side.
"Second, the people gathered around you may not necessarily resonate emotionally with you, and sometimes your goals may deviate, which requires you to take overall control.
"Third, you are not the chess player yet. You just have your own consciousness and can intervene in the chess game to a certain extent, or you can be said to be a large chess piece that has evolved from a pawn to a commander.
"Then if you think about it again, you will be able to figure it out."
Li Ping'an pondered slightly: "Dad, I understand the truth, but I'm a little angry."
Li Dazhi said: "Didn't you say before that the leader of the Second Purities has always been in the dark? What is the purpose of this leader of the Second Purities?"
"Protect the disciples of Chanjiao, help me, a disciple of Chanjiao, serve as the quasi-Celestial Emperor, so that Chanjiao can obtain the first batch of heavenly merits... these?"
Li Pingan clicked his tongue:
"I mean, why couldn't we just destroy the divine pillar when it appeared, but let it absorb so many masters smoothly?
"Since Master has already taken action, why not simply destroy the divine tower?"
"Peace, you still don't see clearly."
Li Dazhi shook his head:
"In the second half of this conflict in Beizhou, the Chan Sect and the Western Sect are already competing for interests.
"You have actually accomplished a lot. Because of your overall planning and subsequent actions of jumping in to suppress the demonic energy, in the first half of this conflict, the results of the New Heavenly Court's subjugation of Houtu and most of the Wu clan were determined.
"Half of the Wu Clan's cake is already yours, but you still want to snatch it from the tiger's mouth. The Western religion has been eyeing this piece of fat for seventy or eighty thousand years, trying to subdue the last of the Wu Clan's arrogance.
"At this time, the Great Western Hierarch couldn't help but take action, otherwise they would lose everything. As soon as he took action, he directly captured Xuan Ming and the six to seven hundred war witches, thus taking away the other half of the cake.
"If this is the result, Chanjiao has helped you achieve your goal, and Western religion is not at a loss either."
Li Ping'an pondered for a few times: "Now that you say this, I understand...the fundamental reason is that the Chan religion has not broken with Western religion."
"We are not enemies to begin with, so why should we break up? What benefits would a breakup bring to us?"
Li Dazhi smiled and said:
"It's you and the human race who hate Western religion, it's not the Chan religion that hates Western religion.
"For Chanjiao, there is also a Dao Immortal Tribulation. The Dao Immortal Tribulation was jointly deduced by the three sect leaders, which foreshadows the disaster that Heaven will bring to the Taoist sect.
“Haven’t we dealt with this matter many times?
"The Taoist disciples control too many avenues, which directly affects the development of the Heavenly Dao itself. One must weaken between the Heavenly Dao and the Daoist sect, and the Heavenly Dao is now unstoppable, unless the three leaders of the Daoist sect destroy the world and destroy all spirits.
Thereby suppressing the Dao of Heaven, otherwise the Taoist Immortals will perish in large numbers under the impetus of the Dao of Heaven.
"This is the essential contradiction.
"The choice of the three leaders of the Taoist sect is obviously not to destroy all souls, but because of this, we can't hack them.
"As for this Beizhou conflict, it has also been revealed that the Chanjiao and the Western Church must have reached some kind of agreement. Eighty percent of the agreement is against the Jiejiao. The behemoth Jiejiao has a strong sense of oppression against the Chanjiao."
Li Dazhi pondered for a few times and then said:
"But this incident should make both parties very unhappy."
"Why?"
"The Western Sect has killed and injured many evil demons... Although these evil demons are not even chess pieces to the two leaders of the Western Sect, the Western Sect really gained nothing in the end."
Li Dazhi sighed:
"You sympathize with the miserable current situation of the Wu Clan, but these leaders and the great masters of each religion do not sympathize with the Wu Clan.
"They have come from ancient times and witnessed too many tragic things. Those good people have long been lost in the long river of time...except for a certain dragon clan.
"Think about it, at that time you yelled, 'Stop the Divine Banner and save Xuan Ming,' and then the three Taoist sect leaders showed up and beat the two sect leaders away? Is this possible?
"In fact, 80% of the time, in the heart of the Erqing leader, the weight of the new heaven is not comparable to the weight of the Western religion."
Li Ping'an sighed: "After all, the interests are inconsistent."
"Unless you stake all the heavens on Chanjiao and let Chanjiao get the right to appoint the right god in the future, then it is possible for Chanjiao to become the Emperor of Heaven in anger."
Li Dazhi took two lemon-like spiritual fruit slices, put them on his eyes, and said leisurely:
"Don't think too much, Xuan Ming's death was actually the result of the struggle between the Chan Sect, the Western Sect, and the Human Race.
“If the Chan religion and the Western religion were inherently hostile, it would be impossible to successfully launch the Divine Banner;
"Although the human race sent a large number of immortal soldiers for your sake, these immortal soldiers are all in Beihai and will only come here after the fight is over...
"Why did you leave before Xuanyuan Huangdi? Is it really because you avoided the matter of Xuangui's resentment? He had already seen what would happen next.
"Xuanyuan Huangdi gave the order with the overall situation in mind and a benevolent heart. Shen Xiangfeng Empress, based on the hatred between the human race and the Wu clan, deliberately added some water when executing the order to prevent the human soldiers from bleeding for the Wu clan.
"This is the tacit understanding between their king and his ministers.
"Now you look at the results. The human race has gained the reputation of not caring about past grudges, Chan has gained the merits of heaven, and the debt of gratitude for helping the shaman tribe. The heaven has gained the shaman tribe's submission. Everyone is happy."
Li Pingan smiled and shook his head.
Although he wanted to say something, no one had considered the feelings of the living beings themselves;
But saying it this way is always a bit childish.
"Is your anger smooth?" Li Dazhi made a seductive pose.
"Okay," Li Ping'an stood up and said, "I'm going back to continue my business. Next, I'm going to lead a coalition of witches and humans to attack Tianhu Temple. I have to be more careful."
"well!"
Li Dazhi greeted: "Express your thoughts!"
"My thoughts," Li Ping'an waved his hand, "You still need to be strong to make iron! Your own team is the most important! With an iron fist in hand, I have the world!"
"You silly boy, go and deceive Jiejiao and explain the reason why Jiejiao has one Jiejiao per capita."
Li Dazhi shook his head and continued swimming in the pool. He soon remembered something and called the shopkeeper here.
"This pool was renamed the Tiandi Pool. The pool where the Emperor of Heaven bathed can only allow a maximum of six people to bathe in the same pool for five hundred spirit stones for one hour!"
"Master, is this... okay? It's just a matter of changing the brand."
…
at the same time.
Biyou Palace is quite lively.
Hundreds of immortals gathered around, looking eagerly at the nimble girl standing in the middle, holding her waist.
Gui Lingling let out a soft snort from the tip of her nose, and said proudly: "If you want to see my big turtle shell with the merits of heaven, then say something nice!"
“Grandma the Virgin!”
"Blessed Mother Mother!"
"The most adorable turtle in the world!"
"The Emperor of Heaven bowed before Gui Lingling's turtle shell!"
There was a commotion among the Jie Jiao Immortals around, Gui Lingling's face turned slightly red, she stamped her feet and cursed: "Who dares to make fun of this kind of thing, get out of here!"
A group of Jiejiao immortals laughed.
The leader of Tongtian Cult, who was lying on the steps of the high platform, smiled and cursed: "Okay, okay, let's show it to them, so that they can gain insights and understand how far the way of heaven has developed now, so that they can know how to act appropriately when they go out in the future."
"Okay, just show them once!"
Gui Lingling cast the spell casually - put her thumb in her mouth and hold her breath hard.
Bo!
A huge turtle shell with forty-nine layers inside fell in front of the immortals.
There is a faint golden light on the turtle shell. This treasure, which was originally just an 'invincible defense', now has the ability to ward off all kinds of evil.
Gui Lingling is so proud.
She got the many maps of the small world two days ago, and she was just waiting for everyone to come over to pay their respects to the master and show them off!
Gui Lingling said proudly: "How is it! It's even more powerful!"
"The merits and virtues of heaven are so mysterious."
"Grandma Holy Mother! When will you take us to protect the new Emperor of Heaven? We also want to get some merit from Heaven to protect ourselves!"
"That's right, isn't the Dao Immortal Tribulation coming soon? If we could all make some heavenly merits, wouldn't it be... wonderful!"
"Okay," Tongtian Cult Master said calmly, "Let's all go down. I will also give the turtle spirit a few words, so that the turtle spirit can return to the Emperor of Heaven to protect him as soon as possible."
"Yes, Master."
All the named disciples bowed and left the main hall. Hundreds of people used hundreds of evasion techniques, either living in the secret realm of Biyou Palace, or returning to Jin'ao Island and overseas fairy islands.
Leader Tongtian raised his chin.
Turtle Lingling put away her turtle shell, jumped to her master's side in two steps, sat on the steps nearby, took a spiritual fruit and started to chew on it.
"Master, what do you want to instruct?"
Tongtian smiled and said: "I don't have anything to say. I just want to ask you. This time in Beizhou, you have had contact with the disciples of Chanjiao. How do you feel about them?"
"How about it……"
Gui Lingling tilted her head:
"At that time, I was still banned by the power of heaven, so I didn't get involved in their work of exorcising demons with Hou Tu Zu Wu, but I felt that everyone was doing well.
"That Master Taiyi speaks very nicely, and Master Yuding is also very powerful, but they can't compare to the rest of us.
"If Dao Immortal Tribulation really fights them, they can't defeat us."
"Alas," the leader of Tongtian Cult sighed, "It's so good that Heaven's Way insists on causing some Taoist Immortal Tribulation. It's also my fault for this. I have accepted too many registered disciples, and many of them have karma on their bodies, so that we, the Cult of Heaven, are not in the position of Heaven's Dao.
I don’t have a good impression over there. Tiandao wants to take back the power of the avenue, and our masters here can make Tiandao stronger by filling in the calamity."
Gui Lingling asked: "Master, is there any way to resolve this disaster?"
"Destroy the world."
Leader Tongtian said leisurely: "The foundation of the way of heaven is living beings. If all living things are eliminated, the way of heaven will be temporarily destroyed."
Gui Lingling blinked: "Master, you won't be so scary, right?"
"I'm not a demon slayer!"
Leader Tongtian cursed angrily:
"Didn't you ask if there is a good way? My teacher is here to tell you what there is to do.
"By the way, this is for you."
Leader Tongtian handed a jade talisman to Gui Lingling.
"If Ping An goes to see Nuwa later, you should follow him and quietly give this jade talisman to Nuwa."
"Ah? Master? Do you have a secret love for the Human Mother?"
"Me! Where's my Qingping Sword!"
Gui Lingling quickly begged for mercy: "It's a joke, it's a joke, you're not humorous at all."
Leader Tongtian snorted and said calmly:
"This is a major matter concerning the survival of Jiejiao!
"Your second uncle has already started to form a clique, and you want to use the second Western leader to intercept our religion. Do you really think I don't know about this?
"Now the Western religion is on the same level as the human race. Every time we hit Zhunti, the Virgin Mary will appear. Let's seize this!
"You should be smarter. Next time there is such an occasion, if you stab yourself in advance, wouldn't I sense that my precious apprentice is injured and then go directly over? As long as I go over, the two leaders of the Western Sect can take care of it.
What?"
Gui Lingling blinked: "Master, it's not like we can't defeat Chanjiao, why should we form an alliance?"
"Do you want me to go one against three?"
Tongtian snorted:
“Do this carefully!
"I'll tell you the ugly things beforehand. Your second uncle will definitely not hurt me. He wanted to help me prune my branches since ancient times."
Tongtian put a finger on Gui Lingling's head and pushed it gently.
"You, it's those branches!"
Gui Lingling chuckled: "Master is the best, then I'll go find Ping An!"
"Protection is protection, be careful not to get too close! I don't need to marry a disciple to survive!"
"I know! Master, what are you talking about!"
…
In a small world outside the sky, Taoist Jiafeng stood in a beautiful sunset scenery, looking far away in the direction of the main heaven and earth.
Two boys stood aside and saluted forward.
"Teacher, which direction are you going next?"
"You have the power to control the three thousand messengers from the outer world. Do you want to find a place to build a cave, or do you patrol everywhere?"
"Let's inspect first."
Taoist Jiafeng murmured:
"Since ancient times, I, the West, have been managing the world here, and this is actually our foundation.
“But, who wants to leave the Lord in heaven and earth?
"The main heaven and earth are the roots of the ancient world. Only there can you have the opportunity to become a truly supreme master... Let's go, where is the Dharma ceremony recently?"
