Master Huanglong briefly explained the conflicts between him and Shi Ji.
Starting about a hundred years ago, the conflict between Chanjie and Chanjie has become more and more intense in the practice world of Dongzhou. Although the disciples of Chanjie and Chanjie sects have not directly fought each other, they have been secretly confronting each other.
As soon as the two sides started to fight, Huang Long and Shi Ji's "inter-religious love" began to undergo some tests.
At first, Shi Ji asked Huang Long to come forward to mediate some sect conflicts. Huang Long did not refuse. He came forward whenever he could, mainly to give his brother Long some face.
Gradually, some opinions began to circulate within Jiejiao, especially in Shiji's circle of friends.
'Zhenren Huanglong appeared to mediate with those sects, deliberately promoting their magnanimity in teaching and saying that our teachings are stingy.'
'That is, there were several times when our sect was about to win, but Master Huang Long ran over to distract us.'
'This yellow dragon, relying on his previous achievements in helping the Heavenly Court and his background as the son of the ancestral dragon and a disciple of the saint, always said that he should be given a face. He has a lot of face.'
This was what Master Huanglong accidentally heard at Jie Jiao's immortal banquet.
Master Huanglong was so angry that after returning to the cave, he couldn't help but complain a few times to Shi Ji.
Although Shi Ji has a gentle temper, he doesn't want Huang Long to be wronged for such a thing, not to mention that every time Huang Long shows up, it's actually her fault.
She turned to those guys to argue with them, but because they were too talkative, things started to escalate.
There are many Jie Jiao Immortals who like to gossip. Their cultivation skills are not very good and their fame is not very great. They only like to be talkative ghosts in the background.
Bad comments about Shiji and Huanglong gradually spread among those fairy islands.
Youxian said: "Shiji was originally a flattering Master Huanglong. After she became good with Master Huanglong, her status in the sect increased. How could she integrate into the circle of Jin'ao Island? Now she is a guest of Jin'ao Island
.'
There is also an immortal saying: "If there must be a battle between the two sects of Chanjie, which side will Huanglong and Shiji join? Otherwise, let them fight on the bed, and they will be divided into superiors and inferiors."
Some even started spreading rumors directly:
'Huang Long is a nail arranged by the Chan Sect, just to probe into the internal reality of our Jie Sect.'
'Huang Long is here to deliberately ruin our teaching fortune. He has the secret method of the dragon clan in his body.'
'Chanjiao likes people who come to Yin. Huanglong keeps showing up as a peacemaker. He just wants to increase his prestige among us, and when the time is right, he will directly take the piss out of us!'
'Huang Long is so insidious.'
These words reached the ears of Shiji and Huanglong. At first, they just pretended not to have heard them and even went to the outer world to escape.
But a rift has emerged between the two of them.
And as the conflict between Yanjie became more and more intense, there was also some suspicion between Huanglong and Shiji.
When Shi Ji couldn't help but ask:
"If the Great Catastrophe of Conferring Gods comes to an end, the disciples of Chanjie will inevitably have a fight. How will you and I, as Taoist companions, deal with each other?"
Their relationship has officially entered a period of decline.
The main hall of Yuxu Palace.
Master Taiyi was asking: "How did senior brother answer this question?"
"How else to answer?"
Master Huanglong muttered:
"You also know that I am an honest dragon, so I will answer honestly.
"Taoist lovers belong to Taoist lovers, and sects belong to sects. Since I am the Twelve Golden Immortals of Chanjiao and have won the trust of the teacher, I naturally want to stand on Chanjiao's side."
"Then what?"
There were greetings from the side.
Master Huang Long turned his head and saw that his forehead was suddenly covered with black lines.
With a flash of his eye, three or five junior brothers stood behind him, all looking at him with concern.
Huang Long felt a little warm in his heart and a little ashamed, but he didn't mind if his junior brothers heard about this.
He sighed again, with a look of sorrow behind him, and muttered:
"Then it doesn't work out.
"She said she couldn't let go of her brothers and sisters in Jie Jiao, and I said she couldn't abandon her brothers and sisters in Chan Jiao. We had a few quarrels at that time.
"Although it was later eased, as long as the dispute between the two religions is involved, we will inevitably have disputes.
"I can feel that our two hearts are getting farther and farther apart. We are always suspicious of each other. Jie Jiao Xian, who was originally familiar with me because of her, began to avoid me intentionally or unintentionally.
"Later, Ping An came back from seclusion, and some changes occurred in the world. Tianji was able to deduce some things related to the Taoist Immortal Conferment Tribulation. Although Dongzhou stopped fighting for the time being, we and Jie Jiao were even more nervous.
"Simply, I will leave her cave and move back to my original cave.
"But just yesterday...oh!"
Master Taiyi took out the fairy melon seeds he got in Dong'an City, cracked them, and asked, "How was it yesterday?"
"Yesterday, Shi Ji brought two fairies he knows well and said he wanted to come to Yuxu Palace to attend classes. Could you please let me bring them along?"
Master Huanglong frowned and said:
“I just felt like something wasn’t right about this.
"You all know that Jie Jiao's side is different from us. They have too many immortals, so naturally they are divided into different categories.
"You are like the Eight Great Disciples, who serve the Seven Immortals. A top master like you will always smile when seeing us, and will not directly conflict. Of course, there will be some irritating words occasionally.
"But below them, these Jie Jiao Immortals have been divided into three types.
"What we don't like, what we don't like, and what we don't like."
Qingxu Daode Zhenjun almost laughed out loud when he heard this.
Huanglong said bitterly:
"The two fairies brought by Shiji don't look like good people to me. Shiji was also begged by them and blocked by their hasty words. They came to look for me as a last resort. Otherwise, Shiji would be like that.
Temperament, you are still quarreling with me, I definitely can't give in so easily.
"When I think about it, these two fairies want to come to Yuxu Palace to cause trouble, right?
"They are Jie Jiao disciples, and today is such a formal occasion. If they say a few sarcastic words, wouldn't it embarrass us.
"If they collided with the teacher, wouldn't it be my biggest sin?
"So I rejected them."
Master Taiyi's face showed a sudden realization: "Jie Jiao Immortal has a nice face and is very vain. Fellow Taoist Shiji must be exempt from vulgarity, so why are we quarreling with you again?"
"It's not just a quarrel, it's also a severing of friendship."
Huang Long took out a section of the sleeve of his robe and showed it to several junior brothers.
Each of these junior disciples frowned and sighed, and at some point, more than a dozen second- and third-generation disciples of Chanjiao who had gathered around began to express their disapproval of Shi Ji.
Taiyi Zhenren touched his chin and muttered:
"You can't say that. Is this all the fault of fellow Taoist Shiji?"
The immortals of Chanjiao frowned and looked at the Taoist in red.
Taiyi Zhenren changed the subject: "Senior brother, you know that this is the virtue of Jie Jiao, but you still lick him, aren't you right?"
Huanglong's forehead is full of black lines.
He scolded: "Stop talking sarcastically to me!"
"This is really not a sarcastic statement," Taiyi said with a smile, "I have reminded you, senior brother, before. It's just that senior brother's heart is very hot and he wants to be intimate with her. Now there is something wrong."
"Alas," Huang Long sighed, "I thought we could withstand the catastrophe between us, but I never thought that before the catastrophe came, we would already be in peace."
True Monarch Qingxu Moral said sternly: "Senior Brother Huanglong, please don't be sad. If you want to find a Taoist companion, just post some notices for you."
"Hey, hey, hey!"
Huang Long hurriedly said:
"Don't mess around. I am also a twelve-golden immortal after all. I have profound blessings. It's just like the script. Whether I am a Taoist couple or not is a trivial matter!
"From now on, if you are a poor Taoist, you will devote yourself to the Tao and don't ask about the world of mortals!"
Most of the immortals smiled.
Master Taiyi also restrained his yin and yang impulses.
After all, he could tell that Taoist Huanglong was really sad at the moment.
Suddenly I heard a chuckle coming from the door of the palace:
"Uncle Huanglong, what happened? Suddenly the world of mortals was broken."
Accompanied by such laughter, a young Taoist priest wearing a black robe with narrow sleeves embroidered with gold came from outside the painting and entered the hall with faint ripples in the air.
When all the immortals in the hall saw this young man, they quickly put away their smiles, stood up and bowed to each other;
When all the sentient beings outside the hall saw this way, they were all in high spirits, their eyes were shining, and they moved closer to the main hall to observe.
Just listen to Master Huang Long shouting: "Greetings to the Emperor of Heaven!"
If it's not Li Ping'an, who is it?
All the immortals in the hall greeted each other, and Li Ping'an cupped his hands and responded with a smile.
He first went to Yun Zhongzi and exchanged greetings with Yun Zhongzi. One called him teacher and the other called his majesty. He also exchanged greetings with the Antarctic Immortal and Guangchengzi who had just arrived.
Guangchengzi complained: "Your Majesty suddenly appeared, and I didn't even have time to go out to greet you."
"Look at what you said, Uncle Master," Li Ping'an said with a smile, "Although I am the Emperor of Heaven, I am also a third-generation disciple of the Taoist sect. On such an occasion today, I am listening to the master's sermon. I am here as a disciple, so how can I mobilize the masses?
"
"Your Majesty, please take a seat."
"Hey," Li Ping'an said sternly, "Uncle, please arrange a seat for me. I'll go find it myself later. I haven't seen Uncle Huang Long for many years, so today we should catch up on old times."
"good."
Guang Chengzi agreed with a smile, shook off the fly whisk in his hand, and watched Li Pingan go to Huanglong and Taiyi's side.
Guangchengzi turned around and discussed with the Nanji Immortal, and placed Li Ping'an's futon between the main futon of the Nanji Immortal and Yuanshi Tianzun.
In this way, Li Ping'an does not need to be ranked before Yun Zhongzi, who is said to be indistinguishable between elder and younger, nor does he need to be ranked behind Yun Zhongzi, who is said to have no distinction between seniority and inferiority.
Li Ping'an didn't pay much attention to these details. He looked at Master Huang Long with a smile and raised his eyebrows slightly:
"Uncle Master, are you feeling unhappy?"
Master Huang Long forced an ugly smile.
Taiyi Zhenren on the side said: "The mandarin ducks will fly separately in the end, it's not a big deal."
"Master Taiyi has been cultivating his moral character recently?"
Li Pingan smiled and said:
"It's rare to hear something normal from your mouth."
"That's right," Master Taiyi said with emotion, "Before I had no disciples, I always thought it would be better to be more humorous when speaking, but now I realize that it is easy to teach disciples to become fools."
You called that humorous thing before?
Li Ping'an turned to look outside the hall and saw the spirit bead.
Yang Jian is gone;
Yaoji now worships in Nuwa Palace to practice;
The reincarnation of the spirit bead into Nezha can still be guaranteed, and it is not impossible to follow the way of heaven.
Li Ping'an said: "Ling Zhuzi's mind is still normal now?"
Master Taiyi glanced at Li Ping'an faintly: "Your Majesty, you should comfort Brother Huanglong. Why do you care about my disciples?"
"He has a destiny with me in heaven."
"This disciple of mine is reluctant to put himself in a great catastrophe. He is too gentle. He is obviously a man, but he doesn't have the spirit of a man."
Master Taiyi shook his head, looked up at the top of the palace, and said with emotion:
"Don't mention it anymore.
"I asked several senior fellow apprentices to measure the spirit bead. It is inevitable that he will go through a great calamity. He was originally a spirit bead in the Heavenly Palace and became spiritual through cultivation. However, he is inherently deficient. We must find a way to solve this problem."
"Let nature take its course."
Li Ping'an responded casually, without reminding Master Taiyi how he could reincarnate the spirit bead.
He looked at Master Huang Long, who looked ashamed, and then started complaining like he was pouring beans.
The Chan Jiao Immortals gathered behind gradually dispersed.
Li Ping'an listened, and probably understood what was going on here, and said seriously:
"It's hard for others to say anything about feelings. It all depends on whether the two people are compatible.
"Uncle Master, please don't worry about this matter. It was all suppressed by the Taoist Immortal Conferring God Tribulation."
Huang Long sighed and said depressedly: "Your Majesty, what's going on with this catastrophe of becoming a god? Even if we and Jie Jiao have different ideas, we won't have to fight for life or death, right?"
"this……"
Li Ping'an thought about it and wanted to take this opportunity to have a good chat with the immortals about this matter.
The person who joined forces with the Western Sect was actually Master Yuanshi Tianzun. Most of the members of the Chan Sect could not find anything wrong with him, including his blessings, character, and past behavior.
Although there are many friendships on the Jiejiao side, it is also true that many immortals are burdened with karma.
This is not just the karma caused by fighting to destroy the world.
It is also in the interest of Heavenly Court to stabilize Chanjiao so that they will not be so ruthless against Jiejiao in the future, and to leave some life for Jiejiao.
Li Ping'an said seriously: "The outline of this catastrophe has actually been revealed now..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a powerful shout from outside the cloud:
