"Donghuang Taiyi turned out to be a chess piece left behind by the Transcendent One."
In the secret realm of reincarnation.
Hou Tu spoke softly, with emotion and sorrow in his eyes, naturally remembering the battle between the Eastern Emperor Taiyi and the ancestral witch.
Li Ping'an said in a deep voice: "It can be seen that most of the major changes and tragedies of life in this world are caused by my teacher."
"Your Majesty, don't let this make things difficult for you."
Hou Tu sighed, put away the sadness he had inadvertently revealed, and returned to a feeling of spring breeze.
She said softly: "Everything should be based on the long-term survival of more living beings. If His Majesty wants to win the support of Donghuang Taiyi, he will have one or two more chances of winning against the Transcendents."
"My Taoist friends understand the righteousness deeply, which is really admirable."
Li Ping'an cupped his hands and said:
"Although the current situation is not optimistic, the remnant soul of Donghuang Taiyi has been led away by the transcendent teacher.
"There is one more thing here. I would like to ask my Taoist friends to keep it a secret. The remnant soul of Donghuang Taiyi will be reincarnated into the next generation of the Shang Kingdom."
Hou Tu pinched his fingers to calculate and said softly: "According to the book of life and death, this generation of kings of the Shang Kingdom has just come to power, so the next king of the Shang Kingdom should be named Zishou."
"This is what Heaven has arranged, and he will be an indispensable and important figure in the subsequent catastrophe of becoming a Taoist immortal."
Li Ping'an curled his lips slightly, his expression somewhat disapproving:
“I haven’t investigated these things clearly, so I’m just guessing.
"Fellow Taoist, you are now in the Heavenly Dao and are part of the Heavenly Dao. Do you think the Heavenly Dao is normal?"
Hou Tu smiled and said: "It's normal to say it's normal, but it's not normal to say it's abnormal. The infant spirit conceived by heaven has become your majesty's eldest son. What could be more abnormal than this?"
"Yes," Li Ping'an said, "I suspect that there is a deep-level consciousness of the way of heaven, and this consciousness is related to my transcendent teacher."
I don't know why.
Li Ping'an explained: "I have known about the Taoist Immortal Conferring God Tribulation for a long time, even before I started practicing. Now, everything is developing towards the script I know. This should not be
coincide."
Houtu tilted his head slightly, with confusion in his eyes.
"I won't talk to fellow Taoists about this for the time being. Let me find out."
Li Pingan put his hands in his sleeves and said with a smile:
"The Chaos Clock says that heaven and earth are reincarnating, and this reincarnation has gone on hundreds of times.
"There is only one sky-opening ax, but Pangu had many.
"This truth is not difficult to understand. The Chaos Clock controls the Great Road of Time. The Chaos Clock is unique. In the same way, the Sky-Opening Ax is unique. There is only one Sky-Opening Ax in any time and space.
"This clue points to the true purpose of my transcendent teacher.
"I guess Teacher Transcendent may be trying to create a perfect world. Each world will develop backwards according to the plan he made. When there is a deviation in development, or the world cannot reach a certain level, then from a certain node
From the beginning, the transcendent teacher judged that this world had failed, and began to let the world go to destruction, kill the variables, extract the original objects of heaven and earth, and prepare for the next world.
"When the next reincarnation begins, another Pangu will be born. Pangu will hunt down the innate gods and demons, and create a new world in conjunction with the original heaven and earth objects extracted by the teacher from the previous world.
“The cycle begins again and again until the birth of the perfect world.
"This perfect world is to make up for the regrets of the transcendent teacher..."
Hou Tu thought carefully for a while, then nodded slowly: "What your Majesty said actually makes some sense."
"How come there is still..."
"Such a thing sounds too unbelievable."
"I am just making reasonable guesses based on the current known situation."
Li Pingan sighed softly:
"This time I made a bet with Hongjun. Regarding the nine-tailed fox, Hongjun should be considered a loser.
"He said he would give me a magic gun and tell me a little secret. I don't know if this little secret can tell the real truth."
Hou Tu asked softly: "Is this truth important?"
"Isn't it important?"
"Even if we know the true purpose of the Transcendent, we can't stop the Transcendent," Hou Tu sighed.
Li Ping'an thought for a while: "Fellow Taoist is right. What really determines the final outcome is the strongest combat power. If you have the chance to become a Taoist saint, you can try to fight with my teacher."
Hou Tu asked: "Your Majesty is already very advanced in Taoism, why haven't you killed the good corpse yet?"
"I am not taking the path of killing three corpses."
Li Pingan sneered:
"Beheading the Three Corpses requires a lot of accumulation of insights. It takes hundreds of years to get at most just a hint of enlightenment. If you want to kill the Good Corpse, it will take at least tens of thousands of years of seclusion to accumulate.
"Teacher the Transcendent had previously given me many resources that were hard to find in the world in order to pull me into the Semi-Saint realm.
"I also chose to take the path of Hunyuan Holy Body, which is more likely and more difficult. The body and soul are integrated. The advantage is that I can quickly improve my strength through external force. The disadvantage is that it is more difficult to break through than the follow-up of Killing Three Corpses.
"Right now, I am equivalent to being locked by the transcendent teacher to the upper limit of my strength. It will be difficult for me to break through in ten thousand years."
Hou Tu pursed his lips slightly and said comfortingly: "Your Majesty, you have already shouldered enough. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. This is not your business alone."
"I'm actually not that stressed, so why do you feel like I'm going to be crushed by the pressure?"
Li Ping'an shook his head, dumbfounded.
He immediately said seriously: "Fellow Taoist, if you don't blame me for wooing Donghuang Taiyi, you have done me a great favor."
"After all, we have to look forward, hate is hate, and the overall situation is the overall situation."
Hou Tu said softly:
"Nowadays, this world is so dilapidated, with fewer and fewer variables, and defeat seems to be a foregone conclusion. The Wu Clan and I can no longer cause chaos for Your Majesty.
"The reincarnation of Donghuang Taiyi as a son, do you need to leave me?"
"That one was arranged by Teacher Transcendent," Li Ping'an said. "I suspect there is some conspiracy behind it, but there is absolutely no way to stop it at this stage. We can't break up with him now."
Hou Tu nodded slightly: "If there is anything I can do, your Majesty, please give me your instructions."
"have."
Li Pingan took out two orbs from his sleeves:
"Inside the pink orb is a ray of the nine-tailed fox's soul, which has been transformed into a state close to an infant spirit.
"In the script of the Great Tribulation of the Gods that I know, Su Hu, a prince of Jizhou in the Shang Kingdom of Nanzhou, will have a daughter named Su Daji."
Hou Tu pinched his fingers and calculated, and said softly: "There is indeed such a person. According to the book of life and death, Su Daji will be born in thirty-six years."
"Reincarnate the nine-tailed fox spirit into Su Daji, and leave everything else unchanged."
Li Pingan said:
"The nine-tailed fox has fallen into a deep sleep in heaven. She cannot wake up unless I wake her up.
"For Donghuang Taiyi and Nine-Tailed Fox to stay together for a period of time in this way, it can be regarded as our goodwill towards Donghuang Taiyi.
"Now I have a vague feeling that Donghuang Taiyi and the Chaos Bell that protects him may be the key to victory or defeat."
"Yes," Hou Tu nodded in agreement, carefully took the ray of soul, wrapped it with mana, and sent it to a pool nearby for cultivation.
She looked at the other golden orb in Li Ping'an's palm and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this power of the soul seems to be...yours?"
"Uh-huh," Li Ping'an raised his eyebrows slightly, "I will make a clone later and enter the Great Tribulation of Gods through the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Can you help me find a suitable candidate in the Shang Kingdom and the Zhou Kingdom?"
Hou Tu searched carefully for a while and asked softly: "Is this Zhou Kingdom the vassal state that is about to replace the great merchants of Nanzhou during the dynasty change?"
"uncertain."
Li Pingan smiled and said:
"This is how the script of Tiandao is written. How it develops depends on how we plan."
"Your Majesty, you don't actually need to do this yourself."
Hou Tu said while making inquiries:
"You are the Supreme Being of the Three Realms, the nominal ruler of Heaven, and the hope of the human race.
"If you reincarnate as a mortal son, it will affect your prestige to some extent."
Li Ping'an sighed: "It's not that there is no one in heaven that I can trust, it's because I also want to participate in this great catastrophe of becoming a god and seek enlightenment in it. But based on my current cultivation path, it will be difficult for me to do it again in ten thousand years."
There has been a breakthrough.”
"It would be great if a ray of Dong Wang's soul could be reincarnated."
"I have made up my mind. Fellow Taoist, there is no need for further persuasion."
"Forget it," Hou Tu raised his head and said, "The book of life and death shows that the king of Zhou was named Ji Chang, also known as Xi Bohou. He was a hard-working and talented king. His eldest wife was recently pregnant and was about to give birth to Lin'er.
"
Li Ping'an asked: "Which child is this?"
"First."
"Jikao?"
"Yes," Hou Tu said with a smile, "Your Majesty can obviously check the book of life and death directly, but you still want me to be busy here."
"I really didn't get this from searching the heavens."
Li Pingan sighed softly.
Boyikao, the eldest son of Ji Chang who was chopped into meat paste by King Zhou, can be regarded as a legendary figure.
Li Ping'an said: "I don't like this very much. Ji Chang should have many sons, right?"
Hou Tu checked it carefully and said softly: "Ji Chang's wife and his concubine will give birth to twenty children, and he will also adopt many sons."
"When will the second son be born?"
"The year after tomorrow, his name was Ji Fa."
Ji Fa, King Wu of Zhou, was the protagonist of the Great Tribulation of the Gods and the resurgence of the army to defeat Zhou.
Li Ping'an asked: "Where is the third son and the fourth son?"
Hou Tu said: "The third son Ji Xian will be born four years later, and the fourth son Ji Dan will be born six years later."
After Ji Xian, Guan Shuxian, and King Zhou Wu died, Ji Dan supervised the country. Ji Xian refused and took King Zhou's son Wu Geng hostage and launched the famous Three Supervisors Rebellion, which was later quelled by Ji Dan.
This is not a myth, this is what Li Ping'an knows about the history of his hometown of Shang.
But no matter what, Ji Xian, the third son of King Wen of Zhou, was a master who launched a rebellion but failed. It would be too bad to be reincarnated as the Emperor of Heaven.
And this Ji Dan...
Ji Dan, known as Zhou Gong in the history of Li Ping'an's hometown, was the Duke of Zhou who established Zhou rites and was highly praised by Confucius.
While history and mythology do not mix;
But becoming Ji Dan is a hundred times better than becoming Ji Xian.
Li Ping'an said: "Let's put this ray of my soul into this Ji Dan."
"That's okay," Hou Tu reminded, "Your Majesty, why don't you think more about it?"
"It's just him," Li Ping'an said with a smile, "The eldest son of Zhou has the highest status now, followed by the second son. Naturally, the higher the ranking, the better."
"Well," Hou Tu said with emotion, "I don't know in what life this Xibohou received his blessing."
Li Ping'an muttered: "Please keep this matter secret, especially don't spread it to heaven."
"Your Majesty, please rest assured that there will be no problems in the reincarnation process, and the saint will not see any problems."
"Well, then I will let the body retreat in heaven in six years."
Li Ping'an felt a little more hopeful for some reason and said with a smile:
"The timing of reincarnation is entirely controlled by fellow Taoists."
Hou Tu agreed.
This is a small matter to her, but it is related to Heaven's plan for the Taoist Immortal's catastrophe, so she will go all out.
Li Ping'an stayed here for a few more hours, discussing reincarnation with Hou Tu, and then left with satisfaction.
When leaving the underworld, Li Ping'an went to Ksitigarbha's new retreat place to visit.
This Ksitigarbha is also peculiar. He especially likes some gloomy places to observe those resentful souls.
If the saints of Western religion want Ksitigarbha to play its role, they have to wait until the Great Tribulation of the Gods is over.
Li Ping'an shook his head and did not show up again to scare the boy. He turned around and went to Dong'an City to wait for the start of the Yuxu Palace preaching conference.
Um?
What's wrong?
This son...
Li Ping'an took out a precious mirror and looked at his handsome and charming face, with a somewhat self-deprecating smile on his lips.
He was only a few hundred years old, but he subconsciously called Ksitigarbha "this son".
It's good to be strong.
Of course, his seniority is also really high.
…
At the same time, in Yuxu Palace.
Hundreds of disciples of Chanjiao have all rushed back to the mountain gate early today and are currently busy decorating the inside and outside.
Even Yun Zhongzi and Antarctic Immortal Weng, who usually rarely show up, appeared in the main hall today and sat next to the saint's futon early in the morning.
Chanjiao values rules and is very particular about internal rankings. The Twelve Golden Immortals of Chanjiao, as the disciples of the Saint of Chanjiao, have the highest status, so they don’t have to work at the moment.
Taiyi Zhenren, who has not shown up for a long time due to being a disciple in seclusion, is currently lying on a few futons, enjoying the leg-beating service of Lingzhu on the side, with a look of laziness in his eyes.
Lingzhuzi already looks like a young man, with a delicate appearance and polite manners. Because his body is too thin, he feels weak.
"well!"
Master Huanglong landed at the palace door and stepped into the hall dejectedly.
He originally wanted to find a corner to sit down, but Master Taiyi greeted him: "Senior brother, what's going on? It's wilting."
Master Huang Long was already in a depressed mood, and he was extremely unwilling to chat with this junior brother who was not very nice to talk to. However, in this situation, he could not let Master Taiyi offend him. He lowered his head and walked over, sitting down next to Master Taiyi.
Side of person.
I don't even bother to trim the hem of my Taoist robe.
"Hey," Master Taiyi became interested, "Why does Senior Brother Huanglong look so resentful?"
"It's okay not to mention this matter."
Huang Long waved his hand and said, "Junior brother Taiyi, don't ask any more questions. I'm worried right now."
"Didn't you say before that you would bring fellow Taoist Shiji here to listen to the lecture?"
"I'm just worried about this matter," Huang Long sighed, "Shi Ji and I... are afraid that we will end our friendship."
Taiyi Zhenren's eyes instantly ignited with the soul of Bagua.
He immediately sat up and kicked the spirit beads outside the hall to play with the young disciples of the third and fourth generations of the Chan Sect. He then approached Master Huang Long with a sly smile.
"If you have anything sad to say, it will make me happy."
The corners of Master Huanglong's mouth twitched slightly, and he almost took out his Heavenly Court Official Seal and stuffed it into Master Taiyi's mouth.
"How can you be so sarcastic!"
"Is this ridicule?" Master Taiyi said with a smile, "This is to help senior brother solve problems. See, senior brother, are you in better spirits now?"
