As soon as Li Ping'an found his master and several fairies in the restaurant, he got the news.
[The Queen Mother of the West, Yaochi, sent the fairy to read out the edict and deliver gifts. In the name of the Queen Mother of the West, she was granted the title of Kunlun Divine Warrior Female General. She could enter and exit the secret realm of West Kunlun at will, setting an example for the Fairy of Yaochi. 】
Luo Xuejing, who reported this matter, reminded in a low voice:
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother of the West may be trying to suppress the female scourge by doing this."
Li Ping'an just picked up his chopsticks and looked at the delicacies in front of him, and for a moment he lost his appetite.
He wondered: "When did it happen?"
Luo Xuejing reported: "It's about the time you arrived in Dong'an City."
Li Pingan was unable to complain for a while.
Yaochi's little thoughts...are really...
At this moment, there were several female fairies in the banquet - Shiji who came to look for Huanglong but didn't know where he had gone, Fairy Qiongxiao who came to play with Gui Lingling, and the one who likes to wear white skirts.
Li Ping'an can't directly complain about the incompetence of the Virgin.
He asked: "How did the female slaves deal with it?"
Luo Xuejing said: "His Royal Highness Nuba accepted it with a smile and gave Queen Mother Xi a gift in return."
Li Ping'an asked with some confusion: "What kind of return gift?"
The third-grade Golden Immortal suddenly hesitated and said in a low voice: "One, a piece of bacon... it is said to be..."
Li Ping'an:......
Women's war is a bit scary.
Qing Su, who was concentrating on eating, looked puzzled and wondered: "Why are you giving bacon? Isn't bacon for eating?"
Mother Wudang and Shi Ji looked at each other and smiled, obviously they understood the key here.
Gui Lingling suddenly said: "Huh? I didn't realize just now, my nephew, why your cultivation level has improved a lot, you are almost a seventh-grade golden immortal!"
Li Ping'an spread his hands, but did not hide anything: "The human race has its own magic method of dual cultivation."
Gui Lingling's little face was full of shock, and she exclaimed: "What! You and the female demon are practicing double cultivation!"
Li Ping'an smiled bitterly: "Don't shout, don't shout!"
Qingsu was startled.
Her right hand holding the jade chopsticks was slightly suspended in the air, and then she continued to pick up a piece of steamed spiritual root, put it into her mouth and chewed it gently.
Gui Lingling was just about to say something to tease Li Ping'an, but Mother Wudang gently pulled her arm under the table, so she obediently shut up.
Qing Su suddenly asked: "Have you figured out how to explain this to Ning Ning?"
"Well," Li Ping'an said, "If you confess, you will be lenient and strive for a lighter sentence."
"Just let me explain it to you," Qing Su said, "Several people have mentioned this to me before, asking me to advise you to accept the female general, in order to stabilize the morale of the human race's military. You will also be in trouble with everything here.
Place."
"Master..."
"Let's eat."
Qing Su said softly, lowered her head and continued picking up vegetables, her cold face showing no signs of abnormality.
Luo Xuejing quickly changed the subject: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother of the West previously invited you to go to the Kunlun Secret Realm. Do you want to go?"
"We can't go there for the time being. I'll just give Yaochi a gift, and I'll go back to the Kongmeng Realm for retreat right away."
When it came to business, Li Ping'an's thoughts immediately became clear and he said seriously:
"Luo Immortal Officer will stay in ASEAN and be my father's deputy. His affairs will be busier here. I allow you to dispatch thirty Immortal Officers to help.
"In addition, Feng Jigui from your branch said that the next investigation of Tianfang Pavilion will focus on the hidden small world of the Western religion that is still providing incense and merit to the inner heaven. In addition to double and triple pensions for the immortals who sacrificed in Tianfang Pavilion, their descendants It can be submitted to the Tiandi Academy.
"Also, if my father gets into trouble and doesn't want to tell me, remember to send a message privately."
"I understand!"
Luo Xuejing's mouth was smiling a little more, and her eyes were full of energy.
She suddenly said: "I am staying behind the Lord Heaven and Earth, but beside Your Majesty is the intelligence officer from Tianfang Pavilion missing."
Li Ping'an said slowly: "Please recommend two people."
"Yes," Luo Xuejing asked softly, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, but I still want to ask one more question, do you want a woman or a man?"
"It's a man," Li Ping'an said with a wry smile, "men tend to avoid suspicion. I have to pay attention to my reputation in this area now."
Luo Xuejing immediately said: "I will send an order to Tianfang Pavilion to recommend those with outstanding abilities."
After saying this, Luo Xuejing lowered her head to salute, bowed to several masters of interception, turned around and hurriedly retreated.
Li Ping'an took a bite of the ugly-looking spirit fish meat and found that it was a delicacy he had never tasted before.
Our Lady of Wudang smiled and said: "Your Majesty, there is something else here. The senior brother asked me to ask you."
"I'm not a master, but it doesn't matter."
"Does Heaven still want Taoist soldiers from the West? We intercepted several batches of Taoist soldiers outside Tianwai, and there are more than two million of them."
"oh?"
Li Ping'an's eyes lit up:
"Of course you want it... This interception did not break the little world, right?"
"I don't dare to break it easily," Our Lady of Wudang covered her mouth and chuckled, "Senior Brother said, this time you just give us the number of merits we originally agreed on, and all the junior brothers and sisters didn't waste much effort."
Li Ping'an said: "The Tao soldiers can be sent directly to the Kongmeng Realm, but the merits will have to wait until the Tao chaos in Inner Heaven is completely resolved."
But Shi Ji sighed: "Those Taoist soldiers are really pitiful. They are deformed things used to balance the human race's immortal soldiers. The demon alliance army was defeated like a mountain. When the evil demons of the Western Sect fled, they threw those Taoist soldiers into the void at will. The casualties were at least hundreds of thousands."
Li Ping'an said: "There is no greater suffering for a living being than this."
While we were chatting here, Master Huang Long flew in a cloud from the southwest. Before he entered the door, he shouted: "Peace! Your Majesty! Something bad has happened!"
The expressions of the immortals changed and they quickly stood up and looked at Master Huanglong.
Especially the human Qi Refiners nearby who were secretly observing this place. They had just experienced the disaster in the East Continent, the Tiannu in the North Continent, and the war in the West Continent. Now when they heard the words "big things are bad", they inevitably reacted fiercely, thinking that there was something wrong. Something big happened.
Unexpectedly, Master Huanglong said quickly:
"The right servant of the Holy Mother Palace has been recruited by the Venerable Ernan, and the Venerable Ernan has added a fierce general!"
All the Qi Refiners breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Li Ping'an smiled and said: "I thought it was something big, uncle, come and sit down."
"This is not a big deal...oh, cough."
Master Huanglong turned his attention to Shiji, immediately straightened his back, acted like a master, and used his bass by the way, and said in a deep voice:
"Junior Sister Shiji is here too, please come and be fine."
Shi Ji, who was wearing a fishtail skirt and her hair tied up at the temples, stood up and bowed slightly to Huang Long, saying softly: "I'm sorry that I'm worried about you, senior brother, but it's not a big deal. It's just a matter of following all the senior brothers and sisters and doing some good deeds."
Master Huang Long cupped his hands, only Qing Qing was in his eyes.
Shi Ji raised his hand and stroked a strand of black hair beside his ear, lowered his head and pursed his lips, smiling softly.
Fairy Qiongxiao and Gui Lingling tilted their heads at the same time, looked at Huanglong and Shiji, and then each clicked their tongues.
Gui Lingling lay on the table and muttered: "Oh my, Immortal Chan Jiao is about to attack our Jin'ao Island now."
Fairy Qiongxiao held her chin with both hands and corrected in a low voice: "What's going on with Jin'ao Island? I think Fairy Chan is about to break into Skull Mountain!"
But Shi Ji was not a shy girl. Hearing this, he hummed and said, "If the two senior sisters continue to tease you like this, I will go to the senior brother and senior sister Yunxiao to complain!"
Gui Lingling hummed: "Am I afraid of Senior Brother? We are now the security captain of Heavenly Court!"
However, Fairy Qiongxiao immediately sat upright and said hurriedly: "You just made a joke, junior sister, please don't take it seriously."
Li Ping'an:......
Good guy, the status of the fairies within Jiejiao is clear at a glance.
Mr. Huang Long was quite reliable and brought the topic back to business.
"Should we not care about this matter concerning your right servant?"
"Master, sit down," Li Ping'an patted the bench next to him and said with a smile, "It's not our responsibility to take care of this matter. It will be enough to send the news to the Notre Dame Palace and Xuanyuan Palace later."
"Why?" Master Huang Long said, "They wanted to assassinate you before."
Li Ping'an poured wine and food for Master Huanglong and said warmly:
"If it's a matter of personal grudges, this right-hand servant has murderous intentions towards me and takes action. He is my life-and-death enemy.
“But once a master like her hides in the sea of chaos, no one can find her;
"Secondly, now is the most sensitive moment. Although the human race won, it paid a heavy price. The heavenly court and the human race made an agreement to jointly govern Xizhou, which has made many ministers dissatisfied. Try not to interfere with the human race's affairs and let them handle it themselves.
"Thirdly, the Notre Dame Palace holds the most honor. Now we want to erase the stigma and get rid of the power of the right minister, and they are the ones who do it. We don't need to take action at all."
Master Huang Long looked astonished and said with a smile: "The Emperor of Heaven has so many things to consider."
"I was pushed step by step to this situation."
Li Pingan turned his head and looked out the window. All he could see was the blue waves of the East China Sea.
He had a realization in his heart and said slowly: "Master, Master, uncle, please continue to eat here. I will go for a walk in the middle of Dongzhou to practice mind training."
"Go ahead."
Qing Su's cold voice was a little more concerned:
"Don't worry about other things, my teacher will take care of it for you."
Li Ping'an nodded with a smile, but he was a little bit embarrassed in his heart. He didn't know if Master was just talking casually, or if he would actually do something.
…
Sea of Chaos, Zixiao Palace.
The burly old Taoist sitting in front of six light pillars was slowly playing with a jade pot, using a very thin carving knife to carve complicated patterns on the jade pot.
Another shadow of the old Taoist appeared next to the burly old Taoist, but it was Taiqing Laozi in gray robe.
"teacher."
"Huh? It's over so soon?"
Hongjun raised his eyes to look at Taiqing and said with a smile: "Congratulations, fellow Taoist, for entering the realm of a saint of heaven."
"It's just shackles."
Taiqing sat across from the low table, flicked it casually, and a chessboard appeared on it, and he took out the black and white pieces.
Hongjun said helplessly: "I can't beat you anymore."
Taiqing forced an ugly smile and handed over the shogi box.
Hongjun had no choice but to put down the jade pot and carving knife in his hands, pick up the chess pieces, and play chess with Taiqing.
Just a few chess pieces fell, and two obscure Taoist rhymes spread across the chessboard. There seemed to be an infinite illusion on it. Every move they made seemed to have gone through thousands of changes.
Hongjun suddenly said: "The father and son have achieved immortality."
Taiqing nodded slightly: "There is no obstacle at all."
Hongjun said with a hint of fun: "Aren't you afraid that when you go back a thousand years later, the prehistoric times have changed?"
"Teacher must have some motive for trapping the Six Cult Leaders for a thousand years."
"Actually, there is no special purpose."
Hongjun smiled and said:
"The strength of the six of you is too different. Obtaining the Hongmeng Purple Qi only establishes the connection with the origin of the prehistoric world. It also requires the injection of enough spiritual power to make you saints.
"If I are in harmony with the Tao, I only need to let you go through the motions, send down boundless merits, and use the merits to turn into spiritual power, and I can help you enter the realm of heavenly saints.
"But now, the way of heaven has not developed to the point where it can bestow merit at will. We can only use this method to collect the spiritual energy of chaos to shape the holy body for you.
"This place is not far from the main heaven and earth, and it is still on the edge of the influence of heaven."
Taiqing nodded slightly: "Teacher, do you really have no agenda?"
"The only calculation is to avoid karma."
Hongjun sighed:
"You are not me, and you don't know what I have experienced."
Taiqing dropped a piece and said slowly: "Teacher, are you worried about the spirit in the coffin?"
Hongjun was silent.
After a while, Hongjun sighed: "There is a big trick hidden in it, and the ancient world is not a place to stay for a long time."
Taiqing nodded slightly.
The two of them chatted without saying a word, as if they were concentrating on the game. However, if their conversation were heard by the other five leaders who were heading towards the saints of Tiandao, it would probably cause a huge stir.
Taiqing asked: "Has the spirit in the coffin ever threatened the teacher?"
"It's not a threat," Hongjun said slowly, "it just showed me a clear path."
"What is a clear path?"
"Heaven and earth will eventually end in silence. Instead of letting heaven and earth become your coffin, it is better to fight to the death and break out."
"There may be other ways to survive in heaven and earth."
"I sat on the edge of the sky and the earth and looked out. This was also the secret method that guy taught me. I saw hundreds of events when Pangu opened the sky. Only one or two of the heavens and the earth could maintain their spiritual power and finally jumped into the depths of the sea of chaos.
, when I knew this, our world was already broken."
"Teacher can give up, but Sanqing cannot."
"You are transformed by Pangu Yuan Shen," Hongjun frowned and looked at the chessboard, and his chess moves became slower and slower. "You are destined to be trapped in this world, but I am not. I am a creature of chaos."
"Teacher, can you help Heaven and Earth?" Taiqing said again.
Hongjun just sighed and did not answer.
Obviously, he didn't want to answer this question.
Taiqing was silent for a long time, and the two of them kept filling in and giving away their children.
"Li Dazhi is the key."
Hongjun said suddenly.
Taiqing didn't have much expression at first, but at this moment he couldn't help being slightly stunned.
"Teacher, why not Li Ping'an?"
"Li Pingan and Li Dazhi are one and the same."
Hongjun breathed out slowly:
"That's all I can say. I really can't tell you the rest. You have your own way. If you don't like it, you can just practice the Five Elements again and reopen the world in the future. You don't have to worry too much about this."
"Well," Taiqing said, "Thanks for the reminder, teacher."
Hongjun smiled and shook his head. Just as he was about to make the move, his expression moved slightly.
He brushed his fingers over the chessboard, and a layer of clouds appeared on the chessboard, revealing a clear picture in the clouds.
A skinny old Taoist rode a sika deer and drove three-color auspicious clouds, quietly passing between the heaven, earth, mountains and rivers, and landed in the middle of Dongzhou.
"Randeng?"
Hongjun smiled and said: "Why did this coffin-guarding lantern come here? Looking for Li Ping'an?"
Taiqing said: "Take a look."
…
Li Ping'an actually did not want to come to the disaster-stricken area of Dongzhou, as he had also avoided this place before.
He understands everything;
But when seeing the miserable state of these creatures, Taoist heart will still feel very depressed;
Then I will think a little bit like a saint, if I could solve the problem directly when the crisis arises, wouldn't these people be killed or injured?
Li Ping'an felt that this was actually just a meaningless reverie.
He has always believed that the world does not change according to anyone's will, but that the world functions just as well without anyone;
People can only do their best and be a good person.
This is a truth he learned only after he encountered a lot of trouble in society in his hometown.
Walking in the mortal city that was most severely affected by the disaster, Li Ping'an hid himself and did not let others see him.
He didn't do anything deliberately. He just cast a burst of magic when he saw an injured person passing by, and flicked two grain pills to a hungry and thirsty person, just to do something with a little effort.
——There are actually immortals who provide disaster relief everywhere, so there is no need for him to do anything more.
The Great Way of All Living Beings gave birth to a lot of insights.
Practicing in this way is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive than comprehending the Qingyun Avenue and the Killing Avenue.
Just as he was about to rush to the next big city, his figure floated on the clouds, and all the angry guards from the sky followed him secretly, when a deer roar came from the side.
Stepping on the auspicious clouds and riding on the skinny old road of Linglu, he blocked Li Ping'an's path with a smile.
A small head immediately emerged from Li Ping'an's sleeve.
"Master, master nephew, be careful."
The old Taoist shook his whisk and said to Li Ping'an with a smile:
"His Majesty, the Emperor of Heaven, is courteous. Pindao lights up the lamp and reluctantly becomes the deputy leader of the teaching. I wonder if I can invite Your Majesty to go to Pindao Cave Mansion."
