Before Li Ping'an went to see Ying Long, he already felt that something was not right in the atmosphere at the table.
However, Yinglong is both an important master of the Dragon Clan and a divine general of the Human Clan. He cannot neglect the latter alone and can only go out to meet him.
As for the reason why the atmosphere of his family banquet was not right, it seemed that Fairy Ziyuan was too bright today——
Zi Yao put on a long skirt with a vertical collar. The skirt had a rare jagged design, which fully showed off her perfect figure with a slender waist and long legs. Her makeup was also very careful. It looked like a light makeup, but also made her skin look smooth.
Aoxue, with her phoenix eyes hiding the color of spring, and her thin eyebrows tracing her heart, is extremely beautiful.
Mu Ningning felt a little pressured by this. It was okay that Li Ping'an was here. When Li Ping'an left like this, Mu Ningning could only lean towards her uncle.
Qingsu frowned and said, "Yaoyao, why have you dressed up for so long?"
Zi Yao blinked, raised his hand and stroked the hair beside his ears, and whispered: "Isn't this the family banquet of His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven? I am an outsider, not related to His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven, so to be invited by His Majesty, naturally I have to formally
some."
Gui Lingling was lying on the table and drowsing. She used her chin as a support point, turned her head half a circle, and her half-open eyes were full of resentment: "So is this why you asked us to wait for a few hours?
"
"I still have a lot of official duties on hand before," Zi Yao said aggrievedly, "His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven said that official duties come first, so I can only deal with them before coming back."
Mu Ningning said softly: "I asked Ling'er to change some dishes... Daddy is here!"
The four women at the table looked at the corner at the same time.
Zi Yao even stood up, preparing to consider himself a junior and try to leave a good impression on Li Dazhi.
However……
Li Dazhi and Huang Long paused at the same time.
One dragon and another looked at each other.
"Isn't Ping An there?"
"No wonder Pindao smelled something of his own race. Yinglong came over, and Pindao also went to have a look!"
"General Yinglong, I have admired my name for a long time, let's go together, go together!"
But the two of them escaped.
Fairy Ziyao held up her skirt slightly and stood in front of the table awkwardly, her eyes a little more disappointed.
Mu Ningning said softly: "Father and Uncle Huanglong should also avoid suspicion. Fairy, please take a seat quickly. How about I go and cook some dishes for the fairy?"
"No need...thank you Ning Ning."
Zi Yao sighed and sat back in his seat, slightly dazed.
A small hand waved in front of her.
The turtle jumped to the table nimbly, swaying lightly with its little feet and swaying its body. She shook her head in an old-fashioned way: "Young man, haste makes waste."
Zi Yao curled her lips slightly, and almost instantly returned to her usual look that made everyone feel like spring breeze. She sat across from Ning Ning with a smile and began to praise the delicious food left on the table.
Qingsu glanced at Mu Ningning, then at Fairy Ziyao, and then continued to lower her head and eat the snacks at hand.
The orchids and autumn chrysanthemums beside the table each have their own beauty, but at this moment they are all worried, sad and sad.
…
Yinglong was received in the main hall of the Heavenly Court, which is the main hall where Li Ping'an usually handles official duties and gathers ministers.
The layout of the hall seemed pretty good to Li Ping'an. The floor was covered with a blanket made of the furs of ferocious beasts, and there were carved pillars everywhere. There was also a statue of the Holy Mother of the Three Purities engraved on the dome of the hall.
But from Yinglong's point of view, this place is still...
"Why doesn't His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven place more treasures?"
General Yinglong smiled gently, his eyes full of light:
"Would you like me to order our Dragon Clan's painter to come over and decorate it for Your Majesty?
"The dragons have a long lifespan. They don't know what to do in the long years, so there are many dragons who study music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs."
Li Pingan refused with a smile.
Sorry, the art of dragons is still too advanced for humans.
"God will come this time..."
"Hey," Ying Long said warmly, "calling a god general means you are out of sight. Just call me by my name. There are no god generals from the ancient times of the human race here, only those who were annoyed by a group of old dragons in the clan and came to look for them.
His Majesty, the Emperor of Heaven, complained several times to Yinglong."
"Then I'd better follow Brother Renhuang and call me brother, brother please!"
Li Ping'an smiled freely and invited Yinglong to drink tea at a nearby teahouse.
Li Pingan recalled the situation when the Six Paths of Hongmeng Purple Qi was born.
Yinglong also took action at that time, jumping out from the chaotic aura and covering another old dragon to snatch the Hongmeng purple energy.
From this point of view, Yinglong's strength among the dragon clan can definitely be ranked among the top three.
Li Ping'an then thought about it again. In ancient times, Yinglong still became the number one general under Huangdi Xuanyuan even though he was rejected and suppressed by Heaven.
The Son of Zulong is indeed well-deserved.
Li Ping'an took the initiative to chat about the previous events and sighed: "That Golden Crow Tenth Prince just came to my place and gave me a lot of trouble."
"oh?"
There is a little more light in Yinglong's eyes:
"That Lu Ya? He showed up to chase Hongmeng Ziqi before, but his strength has reached the peak of the Golden Crow clan.
"Does he also want to come to heaven to find a job?"
"He didn't come to heaven to seek employment."
Li Pingan shook his head with a smile:
"Basically, he's here to threaten me and ask me to give him a little convenience to see if I can use the power of heaven to resurrect his parents?
“I don’t know exactly how.
"But the bargaining chip given by the Golden Crow is not to kill me. The benefit he wants is the power of heaven. There is no way I can agree to this."
"The authority of heaven? How brave!"
Ying Long scolded with a dark face:
“The Golden Crow clan has been almost wiped out, and we still can’t tell the difference between the serious and the serious!
"The way of heaven represents all the creatures in the world and the will of the entire world. Now that the human race has risen, the way of heaven is based on mortals. How can the Golden Crow make waves again?
"To actually use such an incredible bargaining chip...does he really think that he is Taoist Hongjun, walking ahead of all living beings in the ancient world?"
Li Ping'an sneered: "There is a high probability that he and New Heaven will be in conflict."
"Alas," Ying Long shook his head, "My dragon clan cannot return to heaven and earth yet. Otherwise, I would have to equip your majesty with eighteen war dragons as bodyguards. Such a young man is nothing to be afraid of."
Li Ping'an winked at the corresponding dragon.
Ying Long was a little embarrassed. He put his hands in the wide sleeves of his ancient robe and did not dare to look at Li Ping'an.
The implications in these words are too clear.
It happened that Wen Ling'er came with the white tiger in human form and brought tea and incense burner, which relieved Ying Long's embarrassment.
Ying Long simply spread his hands, held his knees with both hands, and said seriously: "With His Majesty Xuanyuan's relationship, we will no longer hide it, and the first small world will be sent to the Kongmeng Realm immediately. This meritorious deed thing……"
"The merits of heaven are ready."
Li Pingan took a sip of tea and said with a smile:
"If brother is in a hurry, I'll send it now."
"Hey, hey!"
Ying Long said hurriedly: "Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, what are you going to do?"
"How to send it?"
Li Pingan said seriously:
"This is related to the secrets of heaven. I couldn't tell anyone about it, so I was just telling my brother.
"To distribute merit, I need to communicate with Heaven first, and then use the merit to condense a piece of cloth and write down the method of distributing merit.
"Afterwards, Heaven will send down merit according to the method I wrote.
"The merits sent down by heaven come from two sources.
"The first is that the way of heaven arises on its own. Generally speaking, the way of heaven needs to reduce karma first, and then merits. The number of karma and merits is the same.
"The second is to draw these merits from the treasure pool of merit in heaven. The source of merit in the treasure pool of merit in heaven is the incense of living beings."
"I see!"
Yinglong groaned for a few times and said slowly:
"His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven, how do you plan to distribute merit to the dragon clan? What is the specific method...that is...how many dragons will you give to pull the heaven and earth, and how many dragon clans will you give to arrange this?"
Li Ping'an said: "Let's open it on September 1st. The majority of the work must be taken up."
Ying Long looked as if this was indeed the case, and said with a wry smile: "Can you give the Dragon Clan a higher salary? What do you think, Wu Wu? The old dragons in the clan are also well aware of the ways of the world. The nonsense they wrote in their letters in the past few times will definitely cause trouble. You are displeased."
"Brother, you don't have to speak like that."
Li Pingan said seriously:
"The Dragon Clan is powerful and has an astonishing foundation. The Heavenly Clan has just started. When communicating with the Dragon Clan, it is actually human nature for the Dragon Clan to try to take advantage of the Clan.
"I'm not taking it personally.
"I just feel that the real work is done by these dragons. If most of the merits are given to the dragon clan, wouldn't it encourage the unhealthy trend of bullying the weak?"
Ying Long sighed: "The ancient rules are indeed no longer applicable today, but the elders in the clan are so stubborn that I really don't know how to persuade them."
"Actually, brother, there is no need to persuade."
Li Ping'an's eyes were full of sincerity:
"It was actually my idea to gather the small worlds near the Kongmeng Realm. This plan is extremely crucial, as it is related to the subsequent development speed of Tianting.
"If this plan proceeds smoothly, thirty to fifty small worlds can be gathered in the northwest within a hundred years. Heaven only needs a small number of garrison troops and the gods of mountains and water in various places to protect these small worlds.
"Then we can liberate other small worlds.
"Eight directions, eight stages of the plan, eight hundred years to complete."
Li Pingan sighed:
"In this way, after the six sect leaders came back after being promoted to saints, the foundation stone of Heaven has been established, and I can still have some say in Heaven in the future.
"Otherwise, when the Six Saints return, I can directly semi-retire. If I want to do something, I will be blocked by the Two Saints of the West, which will make it even more difficult.
"Think of the way of heaven as a table. Now I am the only one on the table. When the Six Saints return later, there will be six more, and they are all above my head... I am actually the most anxious one."
Yinglong nodded slowly, his eyes filled with thoughts.
Li Ping'an said: "But it's useless for me to worry. The dragon clan's shortcomings are second only to the ancient heaven. Now these three thousand small worlds were created by the dragon clan themselves. The karma is so great!"
Yinglong was quite ashamed: "I have disappointed His Majesty."
Li Pingan said again:
"There is one more thing, brother, just know it.
"The sea clan masters and some of the sea clansmen that I brought back have now taken root in the Kongmeng Realm, and they are also actively serving the Heavenly Court. I also intend to train a group of naval forces and generals to facilitate naval warfare in the future.
"The Sea Clan has a deep resentment against the Dragon Clan. Although the last rebellion was deliberately planned by the Dragon Clan,...if my brother can persuade the elders of the clan, he should do more."
"well!"
Yinglong sighed:
"I know all this. I will try more when I go back. In fact, many young dragons in the clan already want to improve this situation.
"Your Majesty the Emperor of Heaven, can you give the Dragon Clan a little more merit this time?
"I will go back with this merit so that I can persuade the elders in the clan."
"It's ready for brother."
Li Pingan took out a piece of cloth from his sleeve with a smile, handed it to Yinglong, and said warmly:
"Seventy-three points of merit, seven for dragons and three for dragons. The number of merits here has also been calculated in detail. In short, we will not treat the dragons badly."
"oh?"
Ying Long carefully opened the cloth, and the scene looked like he was holding the dragon egg that he had been looking forward to for many years.
Soon, Ying Long pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes filled with emotion, and the corners of his eyes even became a little moist.
Li Ping'an:......
Is this guy acting or does he really mean it?
"My dragon clan! Finally we see some light!"
Yinglong stood up directly, waved his left hand, and dropped the large treasure box in the half hall. More than ten treasure boxes were squeezed until the gaps opened, revealing the dazzling treasure light inside.
"Your Majesty, you're welcome. This is a gadget I brought to you privately."
Ying Long waved his right hand, and a jade-like dragon egg as tall as a person floated in front of Li Ping'an.
"This is my little sister, the dragon egg closest to being born, and the last ancestral dragon bone and blood. However, she is also the dragon closest to death. Dragons are born stillborn... Alas! Your Majesty! I will go back and report the news right away!"
Li Ping'an reacted quickly and immediately went around the dragon egg to grab Yinglong's arm: "No! Brother, what do you mean by putting a dragon egg on me?"
Ying Long's figure disappeared, leaving only a smile:
"If Your Majesty can allow her to be born smoothly, 60% of the dragon clan will hope to surrender to Your Majesty unconditionally!"
Li Ping'an:......
real or fake?
Half an hour later.
The main hall became extremely lively. A group of immortal officials gathered in front of the treasures that Yinglong had brought. Oh no, it should be the 'treasure house'. They counted the treasures and included them in the heavenly treasure house.
According to Li Ping'an's instructions, the accounts here include the dragon clan's offerings.
A large group of experts gathered around the dragon egg, which was as tall as a person. They looked at the almost translucent dragon egg shell and the sickly and lifeless little dragon inside. They all had different opinions for a while.
Li Dazhi approached Li Ping'an with his hands clasped in his hands and whispered in a low voice: "The Dragon Clan will also give wives to the Emperor of Heaven?"
"dad!"
Li Ping'an said angrily: "Be serious, this should be the test question given to me by the Dragon Clan."
"If you rebel against them, you still have the karma to test you?"
Li Dazhi glared and said, and then muttered:
"But the Dragon Clan is indeed rich. Don't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face. We really need the Dragon Clan's support and treasure.
"This is much easier than earning spiritual stones."
"Dad, am I the one who eats soft food?"
Li Ping'an chanted a few times:
"However, I do want the Dragon Clan's combat power. If I can bring the Dragon Clan back to my heart, even if they don't have to take the initiative to fight, and let them protect some small worlds, they will have the power to protect the world."
Li Dazhi smiled and said: "Canonize the dragon clan as the water god, one for each small world!"
"I have thought about it, but this matter can be done in the main world. It would be a waste to let the dragons protect the small worlds in various places. It would be appropriate to wait for the small worlds in the eight directions to gather together before arranging the dragons to protect them."
Li Ping'an said:
"It sounds like the Dragon Clan has returned home."
"Isn't this a dish delivered to your door?"
Li Dazhi raised his chin towards the dragon egg:
"Ask that person, that person, Xiao Tian'er, if he can let the Dragon Clan have a child. Isn't that the end of it?"
Li Ping'an rubbed his brows and sighed: "Let's study it later, first let them give a rare... lecture?"
"Let's go!"
Li Dazhi rubbed his big hands excitedly, turned his head and shouted:
"Fellow Taoist Huanglong is optimistic about dragon eggs!"
"Don't worry!" Huang Long said with a smile, "The descendants of my clan... are not right, they seem to be fellow poor Taoists. Is this my little sister too?"
Gui Lingling and Qing Su looked at each other and saw a hint of curiosity in each other's eyes.
Qingsu murmured: "How does dragon meat taste?"
"I don't know," Gui Lingling sniffed, "I like to eat grilled food."
Master Huanglong hurriedly protected the dragon egg behind him and stared at these two important ministers of heaven.
Li Ping'an's shout came from the distance:
"Wang Shan! If you have any fun stuff, remember to give a copy to General Nvba!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
…
Let’s not mention for the moment that God General Ying Long took away Li Ping’an’s will and returned to the Dragon Ancient Realm in a storm.
Taoist Lu Ya returned to the main world with a dark face. He went straight to Lingshan Mountain and landed at the foot of Lingshan Mountain. He leaned on crutches and waited quietly.
Not long after, two little boys appeared and invited Taoist Lu Ya to drink tea on the mountain.
In the main barracks of the Demon Clan in Xizhou, Master Anan, who was studying how to dispel the incense of merit, couldn't help but smile a little after hearing the report of the evil demon on the side.
"Look, he is here to look for us, right? Tianchan, please go and ask the Crown Prince to come here. Lingshan is a place of retreat and is not suitable for talking about these conspiracies."
The six-winged cicada agreed and quickly ran away.
Taoist Mosquito appeared on the side, held up his hands and asked: "Honorable Sir, Taoist Lu Ya has delayed his arrival for five or six years, but what happened?"
"This Taoist has a very weird temper. You can think that he was traumatized in his early years and feels that everyone owes him millions of spiritual stones."
Lord Anan said slowly:
"When you talk later, talk carefully. Don't mention Donghuang Taiyi, but focus on the prosperity of hundreds of tribes during the reign of Emperor Jun, and pour him the ecstasy soup.
"But if you want to kill Li Ping'an, just a Taoist Lu Ya is not enough."
"Your Majesty, don't we have the Ancestor of Styx here..."
"Ancestor Styx was targeted by Tai Chi Tu."
Lord Enan said calmly:
"Do you think, based on the strength of the leader of Taiqing, he needs to use Taichi diagram to protect himself in the sea of chaos?
"Tai Chi Tu must be able to come back at any time.
"Furthermore, on the day when Purple Energy was born, Taiqing deliberately left a path for masters to snatch. It was just to let those masters who were ambitious about Purple Energy appear and let Li Ping'an see what they had done in the thousand years before they became saints and came back.
How many masters can threaten him?
"Well, this thousand years is also our last chance. If we can get rid of Li Ping'an, that would be great.
"The return of the two teachers may not mean that they can't make decisions on the selection of the Emperor of Heaven.
"If Li Pingan cannot be eliminated and the Six Saints return, his Heavenly Emperor will be completely established... In fact, Li Pingan can just hide now, but Li Pingan is actually very ambitious. What he wants is, how to
Before the Six Saints return, establish a set of order by yourself so that the Six Saints will not completely overwhelm the Emperor of Heaven.
"This is our chance."
Taoist Mosquito thought carefully: "Your Majesty, what is Li Ping'an's weakness? After thinking about it, I think there is only one who likes women and loves fame."
Venerable Ernan muttered: "Mosquito, you turned into a woman to seduce the Emperor of Heaven?"
"This...ah? This..."
"Just kidding," Lord Ernan said with a smile, "His weakness is the importance of friendship. In other words, his weakness is actually the human race, and the human race is what he relies on, so he should go hard."
Lord Anan turned over his left hand and held a golden feather in his palm.
"If we can find him to help, we might be able to get rid of Li Ping'an before Jie Jiao and Chan Jiao react."
