The young Jizo looked down at the body lying on the ground.
He pursed his lips slightly, and the golden lotus shadow under his feet had disappeared.
The Heavenly Fury Guards led tens of thousands of immortal soldiers and began to search the entire Lingshan Mountain. In fact, they messed up everything and smashed some useless things to vent their dissatisfaction with the Western religion.
This is just superficial revenge.
The real revenge is the heart-rending plan of His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven.
Ksitigarbha looked at the corpse lying on the ground in a daze. He could feel that the brothers and sisters behind him were a little further away from each other and began to be wary of each other.
Ksitigarbha could even notice that the brothers and sisters did not hate the Quasi-Celestial Emperor for killing people, but instead focused their hatred and fear on the brothers who had just been thrown out in the Da Luo realm.
Killing people and destroying the heart is nothing more than this.
Ksitigarbha felt the pressure coming upon him.
Only now did he understand why the fifth senior brother was so absent-minded when he left for the last time, and why the second senior brother looked sleepy when he met him now.
Ksitigarbha sighed, lowered his head to search, retrieved a few heads, and placed them on the corpses of the teacher's named disciples. Then he knelt down and held their hands, even though their souls had been killed by the Yuan Tu Sword.
They lost the chance to die, but they still silently recited the scriptures wishing them to die.
After an unknown period of time, Lingshan became quiet.
Ksitigarbha gradually stopped speaking the scriptures, took off his robe unhurriedly, and covered the faces of these junior disciples.
The Quasi-Celestial Emperor walked up to him and said slowly: "Ksitigarbha, let me ask you a question."
Ksitigarbha looked up at Li Pingan and smiled helplessly.
Li Ping'an said: "If you turn a blind eye to evil, is it also doing evil?"
Ksitigarbha remained silent.
Li Ping'an crossed his side with his hands behind his back and walked towards the angry guards waiting in front.
His voice floated slowly, as if he was reminiscing with old friends, or talking to himself.
"Everyone in the world praises the lotus for coming out of the mud and remaining unstained, but how can it be truly unstained in this world?"
Ksitigarbha turned around and looked at the immortals who were about to leave.
He hesitated to speak.
He wanted to refute the words of this quasi-Celestial Emperor.
But when the words came to his lips, they just turned into helpless sighs.
Ksitigarbha clasped his hands together, stood up, saluted, and said slowly: "Best farewell to His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven."
Li Ping'an waved his hand and led the Heavenly Fury Guards away in the clouds, leaving only messes everywhere on Lingshan Mountain.
Jizo turned around and looked everywhere.
Most of the Western disciples cast friendly glances and seemed to want to move forward to talk.
After a while, he turned around and walked back to the backyard, his figure always looking a little lonely.
"I would like to ask all my fellow disciples to bury these fellow disciples safely."
"Today the Emperor of Heaven came to question me. This is the evil cause I planted in the West. It has produced evil results. The heaven and the earth are like chess pieces, and the warp and latitude of living beings. In the future, I ask all my colleagues to refrain from doing things that are harmful to living beings."
"Please don't ask me any other questions."
When Ksitigarbha's voice faded away, the person had disappeared.
The news that the Twelve-Rank Golden Lotus was still guarding Lingshan was quickly spread everywhere.
…
"Ksitigarbha? He showed up? And he brought the twelve-grade golden lotus with him?"
Rush to the huge cloud boat in Tianzhixu.
Li Dazhi frowned and listened to Li Ping'an's story, and couldn't help frowning tightly.
"The Twelve-grade Golden Lotus was actually left in Lingshan Mountain," Li Dazhi murmured, "I almost forgot that there is a powerful person like Ksitigarbha over there. Where is the mythical beast Listening?"
"Didn't see it."
Li Ping'an glanced at the female fairies who were chatting and drinking tea and snacks, and winked at his father.
Li Dazhi sneered, and immediately understood what he almost missed.
A few of them were actually used to it.
Li Dazhi sighed with a smile: "The Western religion is also full of vitality. I thought that this time I could severely damage their Taoist heart. It's safe for you to stop me and prevent me from planting demons in their Taoist heart, otherwise... tsk."
"Just let them not dare to act rashly next."
Li Ping'an picked up the tea and took a sip, his eyes a little far-reaching.
"Dad, I have to deal with the things here quickly, and then rush back to the Kongmeng Realm for retreat. After breaking through the barrier of life and death, I have gained many insights on the three avenues. I estimate that I will have to retreat for a long time this time."
"That's right, you should go into seclusion to digest the gains from your breakthrough."
Li Dazhi said helplessly:
"I'm still thinking about the two of us having a drink together to celebrate that you and I have reached a new level in our monastic career in the ancient world, to look forward to the future, and to talk about our ideals..."
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Li Pingan quickly made a pause gesture.
"Why do you still use your words about the wheel on me? Don't use this way to prove the truth."
"Hahaha! Isn't this just flattering?"
Li Dazhi winked at Li Pingan.
Li Ping'an sighed softly, slumped in his chair, and looked at the top of the Yunzhou boat, slightly lost in thought.
"What's wrong?" Li Dazhi put his hands in his sleeves and came over, "You feel tired now?"
"One thing," Li Ping'an said, "When I review the chaos in the inner heaven and see if there are any other solutions, sometimes I always feel a little powerless, so I still have to seize the time to improve my strength."
Li Dazhi smiled and said: "Aren't they all golden immortals? From now on, you won't be able to get anywhere quickly if you rush. Just attack slowly and steadily. When the Inner Heavenly Dao is completely destroyed, won't you be able to use the power of the Heavenly Dao?"
"You can't always rely on the way of heaven."
Li Pingan sighed quietly:
"Dad, you may not have noticed, but my front and back feelings are actually the most obvious.
"I relied too much on the power of heaven before, and when the power of heaven was taken away, I felt that I was somewhat useless.
"The underlying logic of the ancient world is that the strong are respected. If we set an order without challenging the leader's strength, we can only follow the leader's will... The next six leaders are the six saints.
"When the inner heaven is destroyed and the heaven takes over the small worlds outside the world, this biggest contradiction between heaven and earth will become a tribulation of immortality."
Li Dazhi hummed, but hesitated to speak.
He was wondering whether he should tell Li Ping'an that his cheap teacher had given him two treasures, one was a human book and the other was a heavenly book.
These two things kept weighing on him, making him feel very...insecure.
Li Ping'an suddenly smiled and said: "Don't think about this anymore, Tianzhi Ruins is almost here."
Li Dazhi stood up immediately: "What about that? I'm going to Dong'an City first and arrange for Zhuyun Sect to go to disaster relief."
"Dad, please don't leave," Li Ping'an said, "All you have to do is send a jade talisman for this matter. Dapeng has already sent the Thousand Heavenly Fury Guards back to Kongmeng Realm, and he will bring back the two aunts later. Just stay back in the Lord’s Heaven and Earth, there’s something big going on.”
"Hey," Li Dazhi scolded with a smile, "Are you starting to make arrangements for your father now?"
Li Ping'an raised his eyebrows: "Comrade Dazhi, don't be resistant, obey the organization's arrangements, and follow the organization's deployment."
"Okay, what do you want me to do?" Li Dazhi sat back.
"Xizhou."
Li Pingan said in a deep voice:
"The land of Xizhou must be divided into north and south. It is enough for the human race to control the south of Lingshan Mountain. The north of Lingshan Mountain must be directly under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court.
"This time I went to see the female scourge to discuss the matter formally.
"There are still a large number of creatures from hundreds of tribes in the land of Xizhou. The hatred between the two sides is too deep. The battle has just been completed and there has been no trouble yet. If we don't take precautions in advance, there will be another form of disaster for the creatures."
Li Dazhi took a breath: "When you say that, I've heard them tease you before."
"What are you kidding about?"
"Go to the hundreds of tribes to capture slaves...but the human race has made rules before, saying that only the ancient evil demons will be killed, and the innocent tribesmen will not be harmed."
Li Dazhi thought briefly:
"This matter really needs to be discussed with the female slave, but what can I do if I follow you?
"There are some laborers here in Xizhou that I can use. If you ask me to keep an eye on the human race and not invade those kind-hearted races, I can't do it. I'm just a golden immortal."
Li Ping'an smiled and said: "What I mean is that Heavenly Court, together with the human race, will call on the hundreds of tribes in Xizhou who have no karma to set up a Xizhou Development Bureau. Dad, you can become the director of the bureau!"
"Okay! This is what I like!"
Li Dazhi suddenly became interested, and his posture became majestic.
"We don't talk about eating and drinking. We must serve the living beings wholeheartedly and build a beautiful new home."
Li Ping'an grinned, his eyes a little more leisurely.
In this battle, he conquered the small world, rushed to the aid of Xizhou, deceived Lu Ya, and encountered chaos in the inner heaven... After such continuous tossing, even an iron man could not bear it.
Next, he only needs to finalize the follow-up matters in Xizhou, and he can return to the Kongmeng Realm to rest in seclusion.
Yes, I need to go to Yaochi. She is my biggest ally now. Since the contract was formed, she has not done anything to hinder her, and she is trying her best in everything.
If you agree to let things go, then you should let things go.
Li Pingan cheered up and asked several female fairies to act together.
Unexpectedly, Master Qingsu said: "There is no fighting here. We will return to Kongmeng Realm soon. Let's go to Dong'an City to make up for some snacks."
"Okay," Li Ping'an didn't think much about it, "Master, if you want to stay in Dong'an City for a while, you can. This disciple will only go back to Kongmeng Realm for retreat."
Qing Su said: "It's more comfortable over there."
"Then, disciple, let's deal with the follow-up matters first."
"Okay," Qing Su said softly, then winked at Li Pingan.
Li Ping'an didn't know why. He raised his hand and touched his face, but found nothing unusual.
What is the master hinting at?
At that moment, several people were divided into two groups. The father and son of the Li family rushed to the ASEAN headquarters from Yunzhou. Gui Lingling, Qing Su, and Luo Xuejing rushed to Dong'an City, and the two sides made an appointment to meet in Dong'an City.
Luo Xuejing was really relieved about this.
She glanced at the jade talisman hidden in her sleeve and the plan written inside, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the work was in vain, the goal was successfully achieved.
'I just never thought that Immortal Qing Su was so understanding of righteousness, that I thought she would not allow His Majesty to have a good relationship with His Highness.'
Qing Su: 'Of course I have to have a big meal after the battle.'
The secret realm of West Kunlun.
Queen Mother of the West Yaochi put the Kunlun Mirror aside and snorted slightly from the tip of her nose.
She would not look at the beautiful things between her daughter and Li Ping'an.
However... I want to hear about the arrangements for Xizhou. This is something I have to pay attention to...
Yaochi picked up the Kunlun Mirror.
…
It seemed that Li Ping'an was expected to come over to discuss the matter. A total of more than 30 divine generals and important ministers from the human race were waiting at the ASEAN headquarters.
——Actually, it is because of the family affairs of the new master of the female slave, all the ministers need to come here to report on their duties.
This is not bad. As long as we can reach a settlement today, we don't have to worry about any variables.
The two sides first exchanged greetings as usual.
Li Ping'an focused on praising the indomitable fighting spirit of the human race, who had the courage to fight against the Inner Heavenly Dao and withstood several counterattacks by the Inner Heavenly Dao and the demon coalition forces in the harsh environment.
The important ministers of the human race praised the new emperor for his wisdom and bravery, for destroying the inner heaven, and for supporting the building before it collapsed, and so on.
After the two parties exchanged greetings, they sat down to drink tea and chatted for a while about human casualties and follow-up compensation. Li Ping'an changed the topic to the follow-up treatment of Xizhou.
The Nvba, who put on a long skirt and cloth boots, with a face as delicate as dewy petals, was a little absent-minded today;
She nodded or shook her head from time to time to show that she was listening.
Li Ping'an proposed to use Lingshan Mountain as the boundary, and divide the Western Continent between the Human Race and the Hundred Races to give those creatures of the Hundred Races who had not participated in the war a place to recuperate.
The human ministers had different attitudes.
About 40% of the ministers think this is feasible. We must consider the prehistoric situation after the return of the six sect leaders a thousand years later. Even if the human race occupies the area north of Lingshan, it will be difficult to secure it.
Forty percent of ministers think this is unacceptable.
Their reasons are also very good.
"So many soldiers of the human race have died, and they have finally killed and expelled those ancient sinful monsters. If the human race cannot even completely occupy the land of Xizhou, wouldn't it make the dead soldiers feel cold?"
"All the tribes in Xizhou must be under the rule of our human race, so that our race can feel at ease."
"His Majesty the Emperor's considerations are certainly reasonable, but the situation is now like this. Hundreds of tribes must surrender to the human race. The human race can promise not to raise a butcher's knife against them."
The two are at loggerheads.
There are also nearly 20% of the ministers who do not express their own opinions on this matter and follow the orders of the female emperor.
Li Ping'an suggested: "If you think this is inappropriate, then it is better for Heaven and the human race to jointly garrison the army, and the human race does not directly participate in the management of the hundreds of races."
The god general Yu Shi asked: "What if the ancient evil demon returns and incites the remnants of hundreds of tribes to cause trouble for us?"
Li Dazhi said from the side: "If these hundreds of tribes do not know how to promote, they will not be able to raise tigers and cause trouble. Now we mainly set the rules and come up with a charter, and we will act according to this charter in the future."
Everyone nodded.
"This matter still needs to be discussed carefully, but there is no need to rush it."
Li Ping'an took advantage of the situation and said:
"Father, I leave part of the Wrath Guard to you.
"The Heavenly Wrath Guards who were born as demon kings have all been selected by me in advance, and they will follow your orders in the future.
"From now on, you will represent Heavenly Court as the permanent resident of Heaven and Earth, and be in charge of Zhuyun Sect and the northern section of Xizhou... What do you adults think?"
All the human ministers smiled.
Heaven belongs to both of you, why are you separated from them here?
Li Dazhi smiled and said: "I really work hard... Then I will discuss this matter with all the human sages later."
Li Ping'an nodded, stood up and said, "In that case, I will leave first and go back to retreat in a hurry."
"Hey! Wait!"
The female demon suddenly stood up and called:
"Don't worry about half a day's work. This battle is thanks to His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven who sacrificed his life to enter the inner world. His Majesty also saved the life of the female slave. Please stop by and allow the female slave to prepare a drink and thank you."
Li Ping'an:......
General, you are so gentle that people feel a little strange.
Li Ping'an said: "There will be more opportunities in the future, and my feelings are really overflowing."
The figure of the female demon flew over.
At this moment, Li Ping'an discovered that the loose robe she was wearing was simple in style, and her skin could be seen between the robe and the snow.
She landed in front of Li Ping'an and said delicately: "Your Majesty, can't you bear to give up to a female slave even for a long time?"
Li Ping'an was keenly aware that something was not right with the female assassin.
He took half a step back, squinted his eyes and smiled: "General, we have lived life and death together. We have gone through hardships, so please, General..."
boom!
The female slayer's sword finger shook slightly, and Li Ping'an fell forward in response, his eyes quickly narrowed into a line, and only the whites of his eyes were left inside.
"Hey!" Li Dazhi stood up quickly and immediately understood what was going on.
The female slayer quickly hugged Li Ping'an with quick hands and eyes, and then put away the floating stick of 'Little Lingbao of Acquired Merit and Virtue' floating in the air, and turned to look at the ministers in the palace.
Her expression was normal, and she said calmly: "Your Majesty's old injury has relapsed, I will go to treat his... injury...Uncle Li, this..."
"Ah yes!"
Li Dazhi nodded calmly, suppressed his smile and made a cheering gesture: "Go quickly, Ping An's injury cannot be delayed."
The expressions of a group of ministers were quite complicated.
The female master's pretty face turned red suddenly, she lifted Li Ping'an on her shoulders, dropped a sentence as softly as a mosquito's voice, and her body turned into a rainbow and disappeared.
"Create a bonfire...a smaller one...otherwise it's against the rules..."
I don't know who laughed first in the hall, and then everyone in the hall laughed, and no one mentioned it much.
