The family time of July and August came to an end in a hurry.
Although Li Ping'an has a lot of free time in the mountains - Nanzhou's clone Ji Dan can move around when he sleeps;
But Li Yiqing wanted to practice, and Li Yingying also had to pretend to work hard to practice.
Recently, the two of them traveled with Li Ping'an every day, and Mu Ningning had some objections, fearing that the two good and motivated children would be led astray by their father.
On this day, Li Pingan set up a barbecue grill under the tree and took Li Yingying and Li Yiqing to eat, drink and play cards.
When they were in high spirits, Li Ping'an warned:
"Starting from tomorrow, the two of you will return to your original rhythm. You should practice and practice, and you should realize the Tao."
Li Yingying pursed her lips and said, "You don't want us!"
Li Ping'an said: "I have to be busy with business."
"You just want to spend time with your wives," Li Yingying pursed her lips, "What, my grown-up parents only want to be close to you this time. The big things in the world are important, and little ones like us are just a burden."
Li Yiqing said: "Little sister, don't let your father embarrass you."
"Humph, I'm actually still the older sister!"
Li Ping'an looked at it with a smile, raised his hand to touch Li Yingying's head, and comforted her with a few words of warmth.
This daughter was also a bit spoiled. She lowered her head and responded, then turned around and drifted away in the clouds.
"Yingying just wants to spend a few more days with her father," Li Yiqing said with a smile. "She also knows that you are busy with work on weekdays, so she doesn't really blame you."
"Well," Li Ping'an shook his head, "I understand now that I blamed your grandfather for only working and not taking me to play. How was your grandfather feeling... Come here, I have a few things to tell you."
"yes."
Li Yiqing brought the futon to Li Ping'an's side and sat down cross-legged obediently.
Li Ping'an stared at the clouds in the sky and didn't speak for a long time.
Li Yiqing didn't dare to disturb him.
"Yiqing, do you think we have a chance of winning in the end?"
"There should be," Li Yiqing said. "If we had no chance of winning, why would Master arrange it from the beginning and make so many preparations? I guess he has some scruples."
"Actually, I have been stuck in self-doubt for a long time."
Li Pingan sighed softly:
"Now your and my chat will not be heard by others, I have wrapped this place with a highway.
"There are a few things I want to clarify for you.
"Although you are not old, you are of extraordinary origin. If something happens to me later, or if I am taken away by my teacher, you must go to King Dong and Teacher Yun Zhongzi and tell them... Project Earthworm must continue.
.”
Several question marks popped up in Li Yiqing's head.
Li Ping'an raised his hand and patted his back a few times, and said with a smile: "Those are some of our efforts. We can't just sit back and wait for death, right?"
"But," Li Yiqing said with some thoughts in his eyes.
He always gives people a sense of youth and maturity.
"Dad," Li Yiqing asked, "is this kind of effort really meaningful?"
"Of course it makes sense."
Li Pingan thought for a moment:
"No matter what kind of difficulties you face at any time, you should never give up your active efforts. Even if you are in a desperate situation, you should still make your voice heard.
"Because this kind of dilemma may not only be faced by you, there will be others who are in the same dilemma as you. The little voice we make may help them get help.
"If we just sit back and wait for death, how can we talk about hope and future?"
Li Yiqing nodded slowly: "Even if you are facing a desperate situation, you still have to try."
"And we are actually not in a desperate situation now."
Li Pingan gently blinked his left eye and said warmly:
"Although you can search almost everything in the world with the help of heaven, we have also made many arrangements in order to deceive your master.
"I don't know whether these plans will succeed, but in my opinion, this is the last chance.
"If it's just within the framework set by your master... I mean, this framework refers to the entire cultivation civilization, and every living being is pursuing the sublimation of the realm of life... then we are definitely not his opponent.
"He already has too many resources and a first-mover advantage."
Li Yiqing's eyes became brighter: "You mean, we actually have other back-ups?"
"good."
Li Pingan said seriously:
"You have to remember that even a transcendent person cannot control the life energy contained in 300 billion living beings. He must resort to various forms, such as the kind of fear rule that Western religions have previously implemented in the three thousand worlds.
, we can also use this power.
"My approach is more mechanical than spiritual.
"In addition, our biggest supporter is your grandfather."
"Ah?" Li Yiqing was a little confused.
Li Ping'an smiled and said: "What do you think is the core of our current predicament?"
"Absolute force," Li Yiqing said decisively, "Absolute force is suppressed by the master. We can only dance within the rules he set. Naturally, it is impossible to gain the initiative."
Li Ping'an said: "What exactly does Master want?"
Li Yiqing said: "Opening up a new world and resurrecting his original world are already certain."
Li Ping'an smiled: "The remaining part is most likely related to me."
"Is it related to you?" Li Yiqing was stunned for a moment.
Li Ping'an raised his hand and patted his son's shoulder, and said with a smile: "I didn't even tell your grandfather about this. Many of them are my guesses. In order to reach the semi-saint realm, before absorbing the Phoenix Clan's fighting body, I had
I have been with your master for hundreds of years, and I always have a feeling... that he is too good to me."
"Could this be Master's plan?"
"It's possible, but it's not very likely, unless it's the boring hypothesis that he wants to create an opponent for himself."
Li Pingan sighed:
“There is no unprovoked kindness in the world, only unprovoked malice.
"There are several key pieces of information here, which were actually revealed directly or indirectly by your master, intentionally or unintentionally.
"Cause and effect are interchangeable.
“When the variables between heaven and earth are eliminated, heaven and earth will look for new variables outside heaven and earth.
"Every time the world reincarnates, there may be an outsider like me and your grandfather.
"You can combine these three pieces of information and take a look."
Li Yiqing thought carefully, then frowned tightly and whispered: "Dad, I seem to understand, but I don't seem to understand."
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, this is not a problem you have to face."
Li Pingan smiled and said:
"I can't break it for now. If I break it, you will fall into a new dilemma.
"In short, the situation is not as bad as you think.
"Our family doesn't have to worry about dying. If possible, the easiest way for us to solve the current problem is to change the minds of the detached people. If this method cannot be realized, we can only use our real plan.
"Do you think that I have gathered almost all the masters of weapon refining in the world just to develop gadgets that help mortals farm?"
Li Yiqing clenched her fists and nodded heavily.
Li Ping'an added: "The reason why I can't distract myself and my mind can only flow back and forth between the main body and the clone is actually because I have used the method of the alien soul to make most of my mind busy with other things...
…”
The father and son walked to a bamboo forest on the edge of Liuyun Temple.
Li Pingan looked into the depths of the bamboo forest and exhaled softly:
"If I were not the Emperor of Heaven, I might not do these things at all. Taking care of my family would be enough.
"But I happened to become this emperor of heaven.
"Perhaps behind this is what Sanqing Daozu saw in the joint deduction, so he supported me. Logically speaking, I am only suitable for a role like Dong Wang. I am not as cruel as the emperor, nor am I as ambitious as Emperor Jun.
"Okay, the reason why I'm telling you this is to prepare you mentally and don't panic when you encounter the situation I mentioned."
Li Yiqing asked: "Did you expect that you would be forcibly taken away?"
"I don't know either. I can't predict what your master will do next."
Li Pingan said:
"But he will definitely take action. His actions have become more and more intensive recently, rescuing Lu Ya, putting down the Chaos Clock, stimulating Hongjun...
"I can feel his patience running out quickly.
"After all, he is also a living being, and what is transcendent is only his Dao, not his Taoist heart.
"Laojun asked me to take you out of the Sea of Dao for one main purpose: to leave new hope for the world.
"I will solve the problem of detached people, and in this process, many people will die, and I may not be able to come back. If I really die... Yiqing, you are the only one who can unite all the resources of the entire world.
The presence.
"It might put a lot of pressure on you, but I think my son can handle this pressure."
Li Yiqing nodded heavily: "Dad, I can do it."
"Also, when necessary, I will take the initiative to join the Tao, borrow the path opened by Grandmaster Hongjun, and control the entire Heavenly Dao... The only candidates who can join the Dao are my father and me. The strongest resonance with the Heavenly Dao is me."
Li Ping'an sighed softly:
"If I can't dissuade your master in the end, this will be the path I will most likely take.
"This is not to protect your grandfather. Even if your grandfather gets along first, I will do it.
"Only in this way will he look at my face and consider the best plan to preserve the creatures of heaven and earth, and I can also use this to reach the realm of saints. The price is to be bound to heaven and earth and become the one who should be in harmony with the Tao.
Hongjun.
"With heaven and earth as the body, it's cool to think about it."
Li Yiqing smiled bitterly at the side.
"Okay, I won't nag you anymore. If I keep nagging you, I will get wrinkles."
Li Pingan said:
“Establish a few principles for yourself, and then build your code of conduct around these principles.
"You must remember that that plan is called Project Earthworm."
"Earthworm?" Li Yiqing asked in a low voice, "Why is it called earthworm?"
"Because earthworms have pretty good vitality. Although they are weak, they can regenerate after their limbs are severed. Probably the part where the reproductive ring is located can grow another segment."
Li Yiqing seemed to understand but not quite.
Li Ping'an's smile was a little more meaningful.
You can't tell your child that he just chose the name randomly at the time. He originally wanted to call it "Project Cockroach" because cockroaches have strong survival and adaptability, but the name is really ugly.
Well, this explanation is very good.
At least it sounds pretty bluffing.
…
Li Ping'an is teaching his son of Heavenly Dao here, and several small meetings have been held intensively in Yuxu Palace and Biyou Palace.
For example, in Yuxu Palace.
Master Taiyi was dressed in red, carrying a wine flask and looking for friends he trusted to drink.
In name, they were drinking, but in reality, they were instructing each other about the follow-up of the Great Tribulation of Gods and many other things.
The first person Taiyi Zhenren found was Guangchengzi. After getting Guangchengzi's permission, he went to visit the Antarctic Immortal.
The attitude of the Antarctic Immortal was almost equivalent to that of their sage teacher. After listening to what Taiyi said, the Antarctic Immortal pondered for half an hour, and finally nodded to allow Taiyi to unite within the Chan Cult.
After seeing that there were no dissatisfied classmates, Master Taiyi breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, Master Taiyi was doubtful about what Li Ping'an said.
Only after the Antarctic Immortal nodded, that is, the sage teacher also allowed them to use the 'Drag-Zi Jue', did Taiyi Zhenren completely believe that what Li Ping'an said was true.
There really are spies of the Western Cult among their Twelve Golden Immortals, or in other words, they are masters who will fall to the side of the Western Cult and the Transcendents.
After all this busy work, Master Taiyi faintly discovered that he actually had a tendency to become the hidden leader of the Twelve Golden Immortals.
This made Taiyi feel a little elated.
On this day, Master Taiyi returned to Chaoge City and found the three senior brothers here, with their heads held high and their chests high, full of dignity.
Master Yuding, who was meditating under the tree, smiled and said, "Have you all been warned?"
"I've warned you," Master Taiyi said slowly, "As long as there is something a little bit wrong, and I don't even go to say hello to Senior Brother Zhenliu Sun, I will also walk around with them on weekdays, but it doesn't cause anything.
focus on."
Master Huanglong, who was lying on the eaves installing eaves decorations, asked: "Are you avoiding Junior Sister Cihang?"
"Avoided," Master Taiyi wondered, "Why do you think she will have problems?"
"intuition."
Master Huang Long muttered:
"Ping An said that we were infiltrated, which is probably correct.
"Before, I was depressed because of what happened with my former Taoist companion. Junior sister Cihang also took the initiative to come over and comfort me. At that time, her expression was a little gloomy, and she hesitated and said something... She wanted me to hate my former Taoist companion.
if."
Jiang Shang, who was in the house, poked his head out and asked in a low voice: "Three senior brothers, when will we leave Chaoge City?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? You've already come," Taiyi said with a smile, "Junior brother, why don't you go show off your ambition?"
Jiang Shang smiled bitterly: "No one would have thought that once the situation changes, Chao Ge will be replaced by the king. Alas! Now even if I want to recommend myself, there is no way."
Taiyi Zhenren smiled and sat next to Jade Cauldron.
"Wait a minute, don't be impatient. For those of us who are cultivators, more than ten years will pass by in the blink of an eye. This place is the core of the upcoming turbulence. It is also a good thing to prepare early here."
Taiyi paused and then warned:
"This is what Senior Brother means."
Jiang Shang nodded slowly: "Everything depends on senior brother's arrangement."
Master Huang Long muttered: "How do you think Jie Jiao will detect spies?"
"Don't have too many spies to intercept the sect," Taiyi Zhenren curled his lips, "It's not just Western sects. Our sect has arranged dozens of people. This is only what I know."
"ah?"
Master Huang Long stared and asked, "Is this really true of Jie Jiao?"
"Uh-huh," Taiyi curled his lips, "I've been practicing. I've been worried about too many things recently. I have to work hard to reach a higher level. Maybe I can challenge the old man Xiawangri in the future."
Master Yuding smiled and said nothing.
He doesn't like to use words to hurt others' moral integrity.
Unlike the Chanjiao side where everything is secretive and secretive, the Jiejiao side...
The eight major disciples gathered together, like thunder, and controlled dozens of masters in a short period of time.
At this stage, they have begun to study whether braised rabbit heads are more fragrant or dry-roasted rabbit heads.
