'I am a poor Taoist, I would like to ask the Emperor of Heaven to speak to you.'
Li Ping'an looked at the guest list in front of him and looked up at Luo Xuejing.
Luo Xuejing said hurriedly: "The old Taoist is outside at the moment. I have already secretly investigated it. This is a puppet. It seems to be a puppet made of special materials. It is no different from ordinary people."
Li Pingan nodded and looked at his old father aside.
"Will you help me meet him?"
"Who is it?" Li Dazhi stretched out his sleeves, "Finally, the Chief Immortal of the Heavenly Court's Financial Department has some use?"
Li Ping'an handed over the guest list, and Li Dazhi immediately raised his eyebrows.
Li Dazhi smiled and said: "What, why don't you want to see him?"
"Not fellow travelers."
Li Ping'an lowered the corners of his mouth and said slowly:
"The commotion outside, as well as the first voice saying 'Where is the Emperor of Heaven', should be caused by this Lu Ya.
"The code of conduct of the ancient heaven was still the law of the jungle. Back then, Lu Ya and his nine brothers incarnated and scorched the earth for ten days. They committed countless sins, but heaven did not punish him.
"Previously, I asked the masters of hundreds of clans to count their karma, and he ranked first.
"And when I inspected him, I found that his figure only had an outline. There must be treasures on his body that are hidden from Heaven's inspection and to avoid Heaven's punishment.
"If I see him and don't punish him, then this Heavenly Emperor has neglected his duty. No matter what words are spread, it will not be conducive to the majesty of Heaven."
Li Dazhi had a little more appreciation in his eyes: "Okay, now he looks a bit like the Emperor of Heaven, so I'll go see him! I'll give this to you. You can see if there's anything wrong with it first."
"What?"
Li Ping'an took the jade talisman handed over by his father, and his forehead was immediately covered with black lines.
Good guy, my father’s lessons on the way of heaven have advanced to the point of ‘productivity relationship’?
In the past few years, Li Pingan has actually thought carefully about why Heaven is so eager for the ideas brought by their father and son... To be precise, it is desire, and Heaven is absorbing these desires.
Li Ping'an came to two conclusions, one more optimistic and the other more pessimistic.
Optimistic conclusion:
[The foundation of the way of heaven is mortals, which determines that the way of heaven must find ways to protect mortals. Mortals are the real weak in the ancient world. The world described by these principles told by my father is an ideal country where mortals can fully protect themselves.
The concept that comes from ancient times is just the opposite, so it resonates strongly with the way of heaven.】
Pessimistic conclusion:
[Tiandao wants to build a stable and prehistoric world just like their home on earth, with no practice, no extraordinary power, and only the existence of mortals. 】
Li Ping'an naturally hopes it will be the former.
After all, the way of heaven also needs the power of living beings to restrain it. Only by maintaining a dynamic balance between the two can heaven and earth continue to prosper.
——This is the truth he realized from the "Tao Jing".
Just as Li Ping'an was thinking this, the spiritual platform floated slightly, and Taoist thoughts abounded, as if he was about to take another half step forward and reach the half-step golden immortal realm.
He glanced at the scene in the glow of the Lingtai, silently suppressed and hid this realization.
'It's better to find Xingtian's whereabouts quickly.'
He motioned to Mu Ningning to chat with his master and the others, while he closed his eyes and diverted his attention to his father, looking at the situation there.
In order to prevent Taoist Lu Ya's puppets from rising up and launching an attack, Master Huang Long has secretly followed to protect him;
There are also two bodyguards, Xinghe Xinghan and Xinghe Xinghan, following Li Dazhi closely. Li Dazhi himself also has the perfect Taoist realm of immortals, so there is no need to worry about safety.
…
Taoist Lu Ya sat quietly in the remote stone hall.
He looked at the shabby furnishings everywhere, curling the corners of his mouth slightly, with a bit of contempt in his eyes.
‘There is really nothing sophisticated about this human heaven.’
Suddenly I heard the sound of yawning coming from outside the hall.
Taoist Lu Ya took a closer look and saw a fat, middle-aged Taoist wearing a brown robe, entering with two guards.
This Taoist is only one step away from the realm of Golden Immortal, but he is not considered a master in the wild world.
Taoist Lu Ya, the puppet, snorted coldly: "Why, His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven doesn't even have the guts to show up? Is it because he is afraid of being missed by the poor Taoist?"
"Um?"
Li Dazhi looked up and down at Taoist Lu Ya's puppet and said with a smile:
"My fellow Taoist has not come here in his true form, but you still want to see the new Emperor of our new heaven directly?
"Besides, you are just the prince of this ancient dynasty, and now order has been reestablished. Why does His Majesty the Emperor want to see you?
"Fellow Taoist, you really have such a strong tone!"
Taoist Lu Ya said coldly: "Not to mention that the human race's Heavenly Court has not yet been established, and Li Ping'an is only a quasi-Celestial Emperor. Even if this Heavenly Court has moved to the main heaven and earth and is established on the Nine Heavens, then it should be more important to Daluo Jinxian.
Respect!"
Li Dazhi curled his lips and chuckled, then calmly sat down on the main seat.
Xinghe Xinghan stood behind Li Dazhi with his arms folded, looking at Taoist Lu Ya's puppet with an unkind look on his face.
Li Dazhi said leisurely:
"Respect is not something you can say with words. Heaven has great respect for the Da Luo Jinxian of the three sects of Taoism, as well as for those Da Luo Jinxian in heaven and earth who are upright and do not eat people.
"Fellow Taoist, you are an old minister of the ancient heaven who is riddled with karma and has committed many sins, yet you want to come to our new heaven to preach.
"This is too arrogant."
"snort!"
Taoist Lu Ya sat on the seat next to him and looked at Li Dazhi with burning eyes:
"As for the new heaven today, we know that just five or six years ago, the Venerable Master of the Western Sect went to seek the path of poverty.
"He knew that Pindao had two valuable treasures in his hands, and he wanted to borrow them to use them against the Emperor of Heaven."
Li Dazhi's expression changed slightly.
Taoist Lu Ya glanced at Li Dazhi's expression, and even the puppet looked arrogant.
He said slowly:
"You fat Taoist! Go back quickly and find your Heavenly Emperor!
"Pindao and I can still talk nicely to you now. If he continues to neglect me, I will change my mind!"
"Now that the Six Leaders are no longer in Heaven and Earth, even though Patriarch Ming He has Master Xuandu and Tai Chi Tu on guard, Ruo Pindao has lent such a valuable treasure.
"In this heaven of yours, there is neither the Tai Chi Diagram, the Xuanhuang Pagoda, the East Emperor Bell, nor the Jade Ruyi, the Twelve-grade Golden Lotus, the River Book Luo Diagram, or the Innate Five Directions Banner. I am afraid that it will not be able to stop the spell cast by the Lord Anan.
!”
Li Dazhi leaned back slightly, his expression changing again and again.
He didn't dare to risk his son's life.
He heard a wisp of sound coming into his ears, but it was Li Ping'an's voice reminding him.
"Dad, don't worry.
"The Artifact Spirit of the Heavenly Works of Everything says that the disadvantage of the Seven Arrows Book is that it is a refinement of resentment, and its nemesis is the merit of incense.
"Although the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife is difficult to fight, its disadvantage is that it must be used at close range."
Li Dazhi immediately felt confident in his heart, but his expression was still troubled and he thought incessantly.
In the void, Taoist Lu Ya narrowed his eyes slightly, with a sneer on his lips.
The old puppet master in the stone palace looked slightly calmer, took half a step back, and said slowly:
"I don't want to be in trouble with the Emperor of Heaven. Five or six years ago, when Venerable Anan came to see me, I told him to think about it again and give him an answer within ten years.
"I came here today because I want to discuss something with His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven. If His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven helps me, I can make an oath to Heaven and not join forces with that Western religion.
"You Immortal Official, don't make fun of your Heavenly Emperor's life. Go and find your Heavenly Emperor!"
"Ah this..."
Li Dazhi lowered his head and thought.
Hearing these words, Xinghe Xinghan and Huanglong Zhenren in the dark were somewhat wary.
Not to mention anything else, Taoist Lu Ya's tone was too bluffing. He opened his mouth with a series of innate defense treasures or innate top-grade defense treasures.
The implication is naturally that the important treasure in his hand is not an innate treasure, but an innate spiritual treasure that cannot be defended?
Taoist Lu Ya's true nature has been revealed.
"Fellow Taoist, it's actually the same thing when I talk about it."
Li Dazhi said in a deep voice:
"To be honest, my name is Li Dazhi, a man of great luck in the human race, the Immortal Chief of the Heavenly Court's Finance Department, and a Great Wealth Immortal appointed by the Emperor of Humanity, responsible for resolving the matter of Heavenly Treasures for Heavenly Court.
"Besides, I have an identity. The Emperor of Ping'an is my only son.
"Fellow Taoist is the son of the ancient Heavenly Emperor, and I am the father of the contemporary Heavenly Emperor. If two Heavenly Emperors talk about each other as equals across the distance and call each other Taoist Fellow, then we..."
Lu Ya's real body and puppet body widened their eyes at the same time.
Li Dazhi changed the subject:
"Of course, we can't talk about seniority like this. Let's talk about our own things. We are all close relatives of the two heavenly emperors, so we just happen to talk about such things together.
"The main thing is that my family's Ping An is too hot-tempered and upright. He once claimed that he would eradicate all evil in the world and would not be guilty of any crime. If fellow Taoists talk to him, he will stand up and shout within two words - give me
Beat this demonic mess with a stick!"
Demonic way?
Lu Ya was about to get up and scold him immediately, but Li Dazhi suddenly smiled:
"So, this matter can only be discussed between the two of us, and Ping An cannot know about it.
"Fellow Taoist, what kind of big deal do you want to make?"
Taoist Lu Ya looked at the fat Taoist in front of him with complicated eyes.
That feeling of wanting to get angry but not being able to do so, wanting to curse but having no air, really made him feel depressed.
Taoist Lu Ya said calmly: "Fellow Taoist, can you really make the decision?"
"It is definitely His Majesty the Emperor who makes the decision in Heaven."
Li Dazhi leaned towards the direction of Taoist Lu Ya and muttered something:
"But no matter what you say and how you do things, we all have some room for mediation.
"Fellow Taoist, you can't just talk about your bargaining chip, you also have to give your price. Let's discuss and do things. Isn't that always amicable and smooth?
"This is our first time talking about business, so we don't have to do that kind of thing of asking for high prices and paying back the money on the spot. Fellow Taoist, please speak sincerely, and I will give you a sincere reply.
"What do you think, fellow Taoist?"
Taoist Lu Ya nodded.
Although he felt that what the father of the Emperor of Heaven said was very reasonable, his appeal could not be explained clearly in a few words, nor could he tell anyone to know.
Taoist Lu Ya said slowly: "I want to borrow the Emperor's Seal for use."
Li Dazhi leaned back slightly, his eyes mostly filled with thoughts.
He turned around and asked: "What is the Emperor's Seal?"
He Xinghe was honest, bowed his head and reported quickly:
"I have heard His Majesty mention it several times. It is said to be the embodiment of the power of Heaven. The Emperor of Heaven can control the power of Heaven by holding the Seal of Heaven."
Li Dazhi nodded and sat in his chair, lost in thought.
On the other side, Li Ping'an looked at his spiritual platform, but couldn't help but think more.
The Emperor's Seal has not yet been completely formed.
He also didn't expect that as the Heavenly Emperor's Seal moved to the back, the required Heavenly Dao merit would double.
When the Western religions withdrew from the northwest of the ancient world, they deliberately destroyed many temples, but the remaining incense and merit of the small worlds they had operated for many years were still there.
Li Ping'an then took the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother and Huanglong Zhenren around for a while, enlightening nine mountain gods and twelve river gods, and gathered a lot of merit power.
The core of the Heavenly Court, the Lingxiao Palace, the Tongming Palace, the Sifang Palace, the Heavenly Punishment Palace, the Nine Heavens Palace, the Five Sacred Mountains Palace, the Marriage Palace, the Wealth Palace and other divine power palaces have begun to take shape.
——It means that an outline has been formed, or there are several pillars.
The various main buildings in the heaven are almost divided into categories.
Now, relying on Li Ping'an's exploration, he only needs to pay ten times the innate merits consumed when these immortal temples were formed when the spiritual platform was formed, and prepare palaces with high-quality materials according to their style and scale, so that he can transform these 'Tiandao Divine Powers'
The palace was taken away from the mourning platform.
This means slowly accumulating merit.
Is this Taoist Lu Ya going to use the Heavenly Emperor's Seal when he opens his mouth?
What does he want to use the power of heaven to do?
Li Ping'an suddenly thought of Mo Linyuan's previous report, and a ridiculous thought appeared in his heart.
Is it possible that Taoist Lu Ya is looking for the ancient way of heaven?
If, as Taoist Hongjun told fellow Taoist Hou Tu, there are internal and external differences between heaven and earth...
Is there a remnant of the ancient Heavenly Dao within the Heavenly Dao currently operating?
In other words, the Inner Heaven Dao may still have the remaining marks or even the remaining souls of the three ancient Heavenly Emperors and Queens: Di Jun, Xihe, and Wangshu?
Li Pingan suddenly thought of something again.
When he resisted becoming a Tiannu before, Tiandao also showed him a "first-person perspective" scene.
It was a scene of Emperor Jun and Xihe enjoying themselves in the Hua Pond, and the Golden Crow clan’s reproduction ceremony was very long...
The corners of Li Pingan's mouth twitched slightly.
At that time, Heavenly Dao was giving him a hint that there was still inner Heavenly Dao?
He had always thought that Heaven was telling him that as long as he followed him, the most beautiful women in the ancient world would be harem concubines, and they would be free and happy.
Yes, I misunderstood.
Li Ping'an shook his head, and was about to remind his father to decisively reject Taoist Lu Ya, but before he could speak, the puppet sent by Taoist Lu Ya snorted coldly and stood up.
"Why don't you say anything, fellow Taoist?"
"Ah, this," Li Dazhi clicked his tongue, "Giving the Emperor's Seal to fellow Taoists for use, doesn't that mean that the fellow Taoists temporarily become Emperors of Heaven? How do fellow Taoists think about this and just mention it?"
Taoist Lu Ya narrowed his eyes slightly: "What do you mean, fellow Taoist, not to borrow? In that case, I will just go to Lingshan!"
Li Dazhi sighed: "Fellow Taoist, please listen to my advice. You have a lot of karma. The Western teachings are no longer able to protect themselves. What can you do in the past? If the Western teachings can help you, I will take off your head."
Come down here and play ball for you."
Taoist Lu Ya originally turned around to leave, but now he turned around and sneered at Li Dazhi.
He said: "Fellow Taoist, do you know what conditions Venerable Anan gave me?"
"Fellow Taoist doesn't know how to tell," Li Dazhi sneered. "If fellow Taoist tells the plan of Lord Ernan, I'm afraid Lord Ernan will hunt you down. How can you defeat Lord Ernan?"
"I can't beat him?"
Taoist Lu Ya's puppet suddenly smiled:
"But Pindao doesn't want to reveal this matter so easily. Pindao's important treasure is a hundred thousand years of Western planning. If this comes to pass, the New Heavenly Court will be nothing more than what we have in our pocket.
"Friend Taoist, why don't you go ask the new Emperor of Heaven if he wants to borrow the Emperor's Seal or not? I can guarantee that it will only be used for my personal affairs."
"I really can't borrow a little of this."
"Then, farewell!"
Taoist Lu Ya's puppet flicked his sleeves, and a fire lotus appeared on his chest. Then the fire lotus expanded and swallowed the puppet whole, leaving only a few ashes falling down.
Li Dazhi smiled and said: "This guy is just a little arrogant, but he is not really stupid. He thought he could figure out some follow-up plans from the West."
Xinghe Xinghan just smiled.
"Oh, go back and have dinner with your son and daughter-in-law!"
…
On the other side, Li Ping'an opened his eyes and looked at the seal of the Emperor of Heaven on the spiritual platform, feeling a little enlightenment in his heart.
He had to think of a way to bring in more merits so that the Heavenly Emperor's Seal could be completely formed as soon as possible.
"In the past few years, a large amount of merit has been given to Jiejiao to pay off debts. In addition, we still have to save enough to distribute heavenly merits to the heavens for at least a hundred years. The amount of water given to the Heavenly Emperor's Seal is indeed too little."
With a thought in his mind, Li Pingan raised his hand and drew a picture in front of him, opening a picture scroll.
Several fairies at the banquet had just arrived. Fairy Ziyao, who was dressed up to attend the Li family banquet, looked curiously at Li Ping'an's new tricks.
The name written on the left side of this scroll is "Tianting Mountain Divine River Divine Record".
When the scroll is unfolded, there are three lines in it: the upper, middle and lower lines. Each inch has a square, and in the square there is the general outline of a small world, as well as the figure of a man, woman, old or young.
The two at the front are naturally the mountain gods, Tian Hu and Lai Fa, who were first recruited by the Heavenly Court and guarded the Kongmeng Realm.
The following twenty mountain gods and river gods are distributed in the twenty small heavens in the northwest. They have made outstanding contributions in maintaining local order and providing merit and virtue to heaven.
Li Ping'an will also conduct assessments on them, and those with outstanding abilities will be promoted to heaven to become righteous gods.
Li Pingan thought carefully and his eyes fell on those blank spaces.
'Expand the power of Heaven to the outside and make up the number of thirty-six.'
'The defense of Xiaotiandi is a big problem. After enlightening the mountain gods and incorporating them into the heavenly incense system, the ferocious demons of the Western religion made sneak attacks and caused chaos. I always felt that my side would suffer heavy losses.'
'There is still no need to rush...if the Little World Gathering Plan can be successfully implemented, wouldn't these problems be solved?'
Li Ping'an thought for a moment and decided to take advantage of his father's presence to discuss how to trick the Dragon Clan into doing coolie work.
At this time, there were immortal soldiers outside the door who came to report.
"Your Majesty! The dragon clan is asking for an audience with the dragon!"
