Chapter 344: Playing with the dragon and pinching the phoenix
The follow-up work on the Dapeng bird strategy went quite smoothly.
For seven consecutive days, Li Ping'an went to the temple where the Dapeng was imprisoned every evening for seven days, drinking and eating meat with the Dapeng and chatting about their ideals.
Li Ping'an didn't know whether Dapeng was originally a young man from the Phoenix tribe with ideals;
But now, Dapeng's eyes have become clear and firm, with some more thoughts in the clarity.
These alone are not enough.
Li Ping'an couldn't accurately judge whether the Dapeng was playing tricks on him; nor could he blindly believe in the binding effect of 'responsibility' and 'collective' on these ancient powers.
To be on the safe side, Li Ping'an used the power of heaven to educate living beings for the first time.
In fact, it is similar to Tiandao's recruitment of Tiannu, except that everything is led by Li Ping'an and carried out step by step.
——To deal with such a powerful person, we can only proceed step by step.
On the eighth day, the way the Dapeng bird looked at Li Ping'an was quite different from the first day.
There is a kind of tenderness that is indescribable.
Li Pingan himself was a little confused.
This transformation of heaven is transformation, how can it also change the character of living beings?
The Dapeng bird sits under the imprisoned dragon pillar, and its head has become shiny due to the punishment of feather plucking, which adds to his sense of solemnity.
All he had to do was put his hands together, make a treasure wheel appear behind his head, and shout, "The sea of suffering is boundless and we will finally reach the shore."
Li Ping'an glanced at Fairy Ziyao who was following him, and the latter was also a little confused.
Zi Yao whispered: "I didn't take any more action... This guy seems to have really realized something?"
"Quick," Li Ping'an said, "send someone directly from Yaochi to invite my old father over. He has to do the ideological reform work. I'm really at a loss."
"I'll make arrangements right away."
Zi Yao turned around lightly, hid behind the pillar at the entrance of the temple, and shifted his mind to the Yaochi.
Li Ping'an stepped into the front hall with his hands behind his back. The waiting maids brought tables and chairs and set up the food and wine.
The Dapeng bird smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I have already realized the meaning of my existence in the world. You don't need to worry so much."
"No, you don't understand it thoroughly yet."
Li Pingan said seriously:
"We won't talk about these things today, let's talk about each other's past.
"This can be regarded as an assessment and a kind of training. Come on, each person will tell you one of his most impressive childhood events."
Dapeng was startled for a moment, and then he didn't think about whether he should do this or not. There was a look of memory in his eyes.
"The most profound impression is the one that my brother and I chased and played in the sunset that year..."
The narration of Dapeng Bird is quite contagious.
Li Ping'an listened attentively, and in a trance he saw that the Dapeng's body had a series of palms that looked like women's catkins. These palms slowly stretched out towards the Dapeng, wrapping it slowly, with wisps of heavenly power like ribbons.
Like wrapping around the white jade arms connected to the palms.
Afterwards, there seemed to be a majestic fairy palace wrapped in white clouds, and many fairies could be seen flying in the sky, with their fairy belts fluttering and their clothes flying around.
Weird but beautiful.
A drop of cold sweat broke out on Li Ping'an's forehead, and this drop of cold sweat was quickly evaporated by him.
'It is taboo to use the power of heaven to control people's hearts.'
'But the Dapeng bird is too powerful, and there are no restrictions that can trap his soul, so we can only use this strategy.'
'I hope I haven't opened a magic box... This kind of thing will never happen again.'
…
Most of a day later.
Li Dazhi was secretly sent to the Kongmeng Realm by the non-luminous Qingluan Bird.
Li Ping'an hurriedly met with his father and briefly talked about the situation of the golden-winged roc and his goal of conquering the roc for heaven's use.
Li Dazhi, the Immortal Chief of the Ministry of Finance, immediately ignited his fighting spirit and assured Li Ping'an that if he was given enough time, he would cultivate a progressive young man in heaven who would make his debut in ancient times.
In this way, the heavy responsibility of boiling the eagle fell on Li Dazhi's shoulders.
Li Ping'an felt inexplicably much more at ease.
After all, in his heart, although his father is not omnipotent, he is indeed quite capable of deceiving people.
Two days later, Li Ping'an went to the temple and saw a large number of immortal soldiers surrounding the temple from a distance, and bursts of cheers came from inside.
He didn't know why. When he looked closer, he saw that his forehead was covered with black lines.
Good guy, my father Li Dazhi led a group of heavenly officials, each sealed the Taoist realm and the soul, and stayed in the strong pressure formation in the backyard of the temple, accompanying the roc with the invisible chain on his body...
Kick Cuju.
Bright banners were hung on the temple walls:
[Actively reform, face the problem head-on, change your mind, and enjoy life again].
[Understand your own mistakes deeply and actively face the sins of yesterday].
[This body is left for tomorrow, and our generation should set a precedent and strive to build a beautiful new prehistoric era].
[If you are dissatisfied with the world, change the world instead of feeling sorry for yourself like a coward].
Listening to the hearty laughter of the roc and a group of immortals, Li Pingan did not move forward to disturb him, but turned around and flew back to his palace to practice diligently.
Two more days passed.
Li Ping'an was worried about whether his father would delay Dongzhou's business, so he thought of coming over to ask. As soon as he arrived near the temple, he found that the place was full of young girls.
These boys and girls all have the same identity - the Western Taoist Taoist soldiers who "slaughtered their souls".
As time goes by, Li Ping'an's first batch of heavenly soldiers are about to end their carefree life in the village and enter the barracks to learn battle formation drills and accelerate their own cultivation.
Li Dazhi obviously mobilized a group of heavenly soldiers to give a speech here together with Dapeng Bird...
Li Pingan listened secretly for a while.
Good guy.
Li Pingan called him a good guy.
‘Western religion turns people into ghosts, and the New Heaven saves ghosts into humans’ are all out!
However, this is not wrong.
The Western religion refined people into Taoist soldiers who looked like walking corpses. Li Ping'an borrowed the Queen Mother of the West's Fountain of Youth to restore his sanity and entered heaven as immortal soldiers, which indeed gave the Taoist soldiers a second life.
Suddenly, Li Pingan was full of energy.
'I'm doing something fairly noble.'
Li Ping'an did not interrupt the speech, turned around and left.
‘It’s really up to my father to do this.’
'It's just a bit...too grassy.'
Li Ping'an rubbed his forehead, sighed softly, turned around and drifted to the palace.
Nothing happened, let me take Ningning out for a walk, visit Kongmengjie and the newly moved small world.
In this way, another six or seven days passed.
Li Ping'an took a break from his busy official duties and suddenly remembered the story of the eagle, so he wanted to go over and see how it went.
Just as he was about to leave the main hall and rush to the temple in the corner, a dragon's roar suddenly sounded outside the sky, and Brother Yinglong's breath filled the empty world again.
The human messenger looks after the wind;
The dragon messenger looks at Yinglong.
These two romantic figures from ancient times to the present are still running around today, but it is also a bit sad.
Li Ping'an returned to his seat and glanced at the dragon egg sitting quietly in the corner of the hall, his eyes a little more thoughtful.
I got merit last time;
Will the attitude of the Dragon Clan be softened this time?
A moment later, under the protection of two teams of immortal soldiers, Yinglong appeared outside the palace gate with two dragon-headed elders. From a distance, he bowed to Li Ping'an, saluted, and shouted:
"Meet the Emperor of Heaven!"
Li Pingan stood up to greet him and said with a smile: "Brother Yinglong, there is no need to be polite, just come in quickly."
Ying Long led the two old men to step inside. It was a true dragon's march and tiger's stride. Even if the masters of the Taiyi Realm restrained their own pressure, they still put a lot of pressure on the immortal officials and soldiers inside and outside the palace.
Li Ping'an smiled and waved his hands, the desk flying in front of him, a round table, and three chairs were placed in front of him.
Another Yaochi fairy, dressed in uniform and colorful clothes, with a fairy belt floating behind her, brought tea and fairy fruit, turned around in front of the three dragon masters, and left.
Ying Long smiled and said: "Heaven is really changing with each passing day, and there will be some surprises every time I come here."
Li Ping'an said warmly: "Brother, it's funny. It's just that I have reached an agreement with Yaochi. From now on, she will be responsible for the reception in Heaven. The Dragon Clan is the guest of Heaven, so we cannot neglect it."
The old man with the dragon head on the side laughed heartily: "His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven is really kind and kind!"
Ying Long looked at the dragon eggs placed in the corner, his eyes smiling even more.
He said: "We do not dare to delay His Majesty's official duties, so we will speak quickly."
"please."
Li Ping'an took a sip of tea.
Ying Long said sternly: "The merits of heaven are the only solution for my Dragon Clan. Previously, the Dragon Clan was still a little neglectful of Heaven, which delayed your plan to gather Little Heaven and Earth. The Dragon Clan feels deeply guilty."
The old man with the dragon head on the side continued: "The dragons are also living beings after all, and we also want to thrive in the world."
"Your Majesty," Ying Long said in a deep voice, "We want to help you quickly implement the plan to gather Little Heaven and Earth. Can we send fifty additional war dragons and three hundred dragons to transport Little Heaven and Earth?"
"oh?"
Li Ping'an raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile: "The Dragon Clan suddenly increased their stakes so much. I'm really not used to it."
"The Dragon Clan longs for recognition from heaven and earth again."
Yinglong sighed:
"Breaking the heaven and earth is the karma of dragons and phoenixes. If the dragon clan can gather part of the world, it will be regarded as repaying its own sins.
"Heaven was right to exclude us.
"I just don't know if His Majesty can give us this opportunity."
The dragon clan suddenly took such initiative, and Li Ping'an was really a little uncomfortable with it.
He didn't hide it, and wondered: "This dragon egg hasn't hatched yet, why do you..."
Ying Long said: "Several dragon eggs in the clan that were about to die have come back to life. Although their vitality is very weak, after the infusion of heavenly merit, the dragon eggs are alive."
As he spoke, Ying Long seemed to have a heavy burden lifted off his shoulders, his eyes were full of emotion, and his eye circles were even slightly red.
He whispered:
"At that moment, no one in the clan cheered, and most of them cried, young and old.
"No matter how we paralyze ourselves with self-destruction, the dragon clan's inability to reproduce is ultimately a curse. When these war dragons in the clan die, the pure-blood dragon clan will disappear.
"Now, there is a way to solve this problem, and our dragon clan will go all out."
Li Ping'an thought for a moment.
He said: "Just as the Phoenix Clan has its own shortcomings, the current Dragon Clan also has many shortcomings. It is one thing for you to serve the Heavenly Court, but you should also get rid of the shortcomings as soon as possible."
Another old man with a dragon head said in a deep voice: "Aside from being lustful, arrogant and reckless, are there any other ills that your Majesty mentioned?"
Li Ping'an:......
These eight words describe the dragon clan very vividly.
He said slowly: "Release the Hai Clan."
The three dragon masters fell silent at the same time.
Li Ping'an took a sip of tea and said calmly:
"Don't worry, everyone, I'm not asking you to liberate the Hai Clan right now. I'm just saying that you should keep this matter in mind.
“The dragon clan is to the sea clan, just like the ancient heaven was to the hundreds of clans.
"Now that the prehistoric era is about to enter the era of the new heaven, it is time for the Hai Clan to change their ways of serving the Dragon Clan all their lives.
"At the very least, let the sea between heaven and earth have more vitality and color."
Ying Long sighed: "I will definitely promote this matter within the clan."
"I hope that when I return to the Lord's Heaven and Earth with Heavenly Court, there will be more cities and villages of the Sea Clan in the four seas of the Lord's Heaven and Earth."
Li Ping'an thought about it and said with a smile:
"Brother Yinglong, Heavenly Court has just captured a Phoenix Clan master, and now we are having a headache on how to get him to surrender to Heavenly Court.
"Brother is just here, why don't you go and give me some advice."
Yinglong and the two old dragon-headed men looked at each other.
Ying Long said in surprise: "Isn't the Phoenix clan almost extinct? Why are there still experts?"
"Come, I'll take my brother over to have a look."
Li Pingan stood up to greet him, and there were immortal soldiers waiting outside the door, forming white clouds in advance.
At that moment, he led three dragon masters straight to the corner temple.
There is a profound meaning in doing this, it can be considered as beating the Dragon Clan and putting some pressure on the Dragon Clan. As for the effect...just let it happen.
However, what Li Ping'an didn't expect was...
The Dapeng bird is not near the Dragon Prisoning Pillar. There are only a few neatly stacked chains around the Dragon Prisoning Pillar.
Father!
Just as Li Ping'an was about to get angry, he suddenly heard loud laughter coming from behind the temple.
Now, it was his turn to look at each other with the immortal soldiers on the side.
Li Ping'an rode the clouds over the temple, took three dragon masters to the back of the temple mountain, passed through several major formations and barriers that had just been set up, and entered near a village.
The eyes of Ying Long and the two old dragon-headed men almost popped out of their heads.
In the countryside behind the village, Li Dazhi, Huang Longzhenren, and the bald young man Dapengniao were busy.
Li Dazhi Songdi;
Huanglong Zhenren planted saplings;
The roc bird ran back and forth carrying two buckets, carefully watering the saplings.
Under the fruit trees not far away, a group of mortals were busy making rice balls and playing games. Gui Lingling led a group of children to catch chickens there.
Yinglong swallowed and asked softly: "This is..."
"My father is taking Dapeng to undergo labor reform."
Li Pingan was talking nonsense:
"Experiencing the joy of labor, nurturing trees and nurturing souls are all the same.
"Look how happy they are.
“Only when you have personally nurtured a life can you know how precious life is.
"Only by understanding the pain and happiness of mortals can we understand the meaning of life. It seems that the roc is about to realize something and make a breakthrough from the inside out. In this way, heaven can also get a helping hand."
Ying Long nodded slowly, his frown and confusion in his eyes becoming more intense.
At once……
That's it...
It's weird, but it looks so harmonious.
"Let's go, don't disturb them."
Li Ping'an left the formation here with three dragon masters in the clouds and headed towards the main hall of the Heavenly Court.
Behind the clouds, three dragon clansmen could not recover from the shock for a long time. The three dragons gathered together, whispered, and soon reached a consensus.
Gotta step up!
The Phoenix Clan cannot be allowed to have more influence in New Heaven than they do!
Go back and train a few war dragons, and put them on the pillars in front of the main palace of the Heavenly Court, as the personal guards of the Heavenly Emperor!
Of course, it will definitely not be easy to achieve this, and I will have to beg the Emperor of Heaven later.
For a moment, the three dragons each regretted. Yinglong regretted why he brought less treasures last time, and the two elder dragons regretted why they brought so many treasures this time. What is the use of the dragon clan having so many treasures?
!
at the same time.
In the large formation, Dapeng looked far away in the direction where the three dragon masters left, but couldn't help but ask:
"Teacher Dazhi, what was that just now?"
"Ah," Li Dazhi said with a smile while holding a hoe, "Dragon Clan came to deliver supplies, didn't you know? The Dragon Clan took the initiative to provide 50% of the treasures needed by the new heaven."
"Oh?" Dapeng said puzzledly, "Why is that so?"
"Maybe the Dragon Clan wants to make some arrangements in the heaven," Li Dazhi shrugged. "In the future world, we must respect and abide by the rules of heaven. The Dragon Clan will make arrangements in advance."
The roc stood there for a long time, lost in thought.
He sighed: "My Feng clan is so poor that I really don't know what to do."
"Hey," Li Dazhi waved his hand, "Don't think too much and continue to understand why workers are the most glorious! I have to write the sixth essay tonight!"
"yes!"
The roc grinned:
"Before, I only knew that I was ignorant, but now I know that I am me. Teacher, let me hoe the ground!"
"Remember, imagine yourself as a mortal, so that it makes sense."
"yes!"
…
Deep in the Chaos Sea, somewhere in a secret place.
In a majestic palace, Master Hongjun raised his hand to stroke his beard and looked at the picture in the mirror in front of him. He didn't know how to evaluate it for a moment, so he imitated Li Dazhi's tone and sighed:
"As expected of you."
Then, Master Hongjun turned his head and looked down at the palace, where he could see six pillars of light flashing continuously.
