Above the cloud, Yun Neutron is laughing heartily.
Li Ping'an swallowed two elixirs to restore his magic power, took off his disguise, and stood aside honestly.
Yun Zhongzi was a little confused: "Ping An, why do you still want to change your body shape?"
"Return to the teacher."
Li Pingan sighed:
"My father has great luck, and I am a close relative. My own destiny is also driven by my father's great luck. Opportunities and hardships always come to me at the same time.
“But I don’t have the protection of great luck like my father, and I don’t have the confidence that I can turn danger into good fortune in any situation I encounter.
"As the saying goes, if you often walk by the river, your shoes will not get wet. Too many hardships are always dangerous.
"So I can only be more careful.
"Moreover, the Elder Yan Sheng I just pretended to be has already entered the Immortal Realm. I just want to earn some fame for this elder."
Yun Zhongzi nodded with a smile, not paying much attention to such a trivial matter, as if he was thinking about something.
Li Ping'an didn't dare to ask about the reward.
He had already made up his mind in his heart. As long as he had an encounter with this great master, he would naturally have the opportunity to teach the art of weapon refining in the future.
The old immortal Xu Sheng is a master-level figure in the Dongzhou weapon refining world;
And such a person just listened to Yun Zhongzi give eighty-one "open classes" with a group of human Qi practitioners!
Li Ping'an is now standing in front of a treasure house. The door of the treasure house has opened a gap, and endless Taoist treasures can be seen inside;
But unfortunately, he couldn't push the door open on his own initiative, couldn't show any eagerness, and had to insist on "quiet and inactive" for a hundred years.
It's also quite uncomfortable.
There was a hint of smile in Yun Zhongzi's eyes, and the floating dust gently swept away, slowly drifting away into the distance with Li Ping'an.
This may not be a test of Li Ping'an's character.
Li Pingan looked down.
This group of giant monsters had previously destroyed more than a dozen cities they passed by, causing a large number of casualties.
Not long after, the snake demon and Kong Ming Lao Tao began to fight in the East China Sea. The collision of the two Golden Immortal Avenues disturbed the lives of thousands of miles around. Thunder rolled over the East China Sea, and many human masters heard the wind and took action.
Half of the big demons near the royal city began to retreat.
The immortals of Wanyun Sect did not pursue the attack forcefully and continued to protect this city with the largest number of mortals. The protective formation outside the palace was once again lit up.
After the golden immortals from both sides appeared to fight, the situation quickly calmed down.
Obviously, those old demons were originally intimidated by the golden fairy snake demon and did not dare to run away directly.
"well."
Yun Zhongzi sighed softly, and the floating dust shook slightly. He and Li Ping'an appeared at the same time in a small town that had been hit by a demon.
Wherever the giant monster passed, mortals were killed and injured.
Many mortals sang and cried beside the ruins.
Li Ping'an didn't say anything more, his spiritual consciousness swept everywhere, and he hurriedly bowed to Yun Zhongzi, and immediately rushed out, with talismans flying out of his hands.
These talismans were posted all over the ruins, slowly lifting up the beams and walls of collapsed houses, revealing the survivors underneath.
Rescue using magic is more than a hundred times faster than human power.
Yun Zhongzi watched Li Ping'an's every move, with a look of reminiscence in his eyes.
After a while, Yun Zhongzi took out a bamboo stick from the flower basket and swung it slightly forward. The bamboo stick shed a little fairy light, healing the injuries of thousands of injured mortals here, and restoring the bodies of the unrecognizable dead to their integrity.
Li Pingan's figure shuttles everywhere.
He doesn't mind doing these tedious little things, it's just a matter of effort for him.
Half an hour later.
When the Wanyun Sect members rushed here, all the survivors under the ruins had been rescued.
Li Ping'an did not meet his disciples, and he was too lazy to exchange greetings.
In an alley, Li Pingan gently stroked the head of a seven or eight-year-old boy, as he had done many times before, leaving behind a few grain pills he had refined.
"Thank you, Immortal!"
The boy's big eyes were filled with tears. He wanted to kneel down and kowtow, but he was lifted up by the magic power released by Li Ping'an.
"A man has gold at his knees. From now on, he should strengthen himself and take good care of his family."
The child nodded vigorously and whispered: "I will! You are so kind! I will definitely repay you when I grow up!"
Li Ping'an smiled and nodded, but in his heart he just sighed that he had too few grain pills, turned around and jumped to the clouds in mid-air.
Yun Zhongzi is sitting cross-legged on a lotus platform.
"Teacher," Li Ping'an whispered, "Let's go to the next city. The survivors here have been rescued."
"Don't worry," Yun Zhongzi said, "The members of the Wan Yun Sect have rushed to several other disaster-stricken cities. The Wan Yun Sect's reputation is quite good, which makes me quite happy."
After saying that, Yun Zhongzi took out another lotus stand, motioned for Li Ping'an to take a seat, and then moved the lotus stand next to him.
It is dusk now.
White clouds support these two lotus terraces, floating northward from above the sea of clouds.
Li Pingan felt something in his heart and looked at the setting sun hanging above the sea of clouds. In the afterglow of the setting sun, he saw bunches of fairy lights passing from north to south.
Wanyun Sect’s support has arrived!
The tight string in Li Pingandao's heart finally relaxed.
He turned to look at Yun Zhongzi, and saw that the immortal's face was bathed in the afterglow, giving him a somewhat divine feeling.
The golden sunlight filled the immortal's wide sleeves, and the passing spiritual energy held up the immortal's hair and beard.
'Can I reach such a state in this life?'
Li Ping'an had such thoughts in his heart, and there was an extra yearning in his heart.
He whispered: "Teacher, actually sometimes I don't quite understand."
Yun Zhongzi smiled and asked: "What don't you understand?"
Li Pingan sighed:
"I came from the mortal world, and was fortunate enough to join the Wan Yun Sect, practice immortal arts, learn immortal techniques, worship famous teachers, and see the way forward, but I still have the nature of a mortal in my bones.
"I cannot be as independent from the world as my master, nor can I be as elegant as my father.
“Sometimes I feel that my human nature is undesirable, but I also feel that my human nature is not a bad thing and does not hinder my practice.
"Teacher, since you came from ancient times, you must have seen the rise and fall of too many creatures. Is the nature of this mortal good or bad?"
Yun Zhongzi thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Your question really stumps me. I am not a human being, but I don't know how to answer you."
Li Ping'an hurriedly said: "I took the liberty!"
"Hey, there's nothing presumptuous about that."
Yun Zhongzi placed the flower basket on his lap, twirled his beard and fingers, and said slowly:
"What you call mortal nature does not actually exist. This is actually human nature. If you abandon it, can you still call yourself a human race?
"Originally, the human race was not divided into immortals and mortals. In ancient times, there were many human races that could practice. Those who were not qualified enough to practice had a hard time surviving, and their lifespan was also very short.
"However, when the human race defeated the ancient heaven established by hundreds of tribes, the heavenly way disappeared, and the human race itself lost its restraints and began to multiply rapidly.
"Gradually, more and more mortals are unable to practice. Because of the innate threshold of cultivation aptitude, there is a differentiation between immortals and mortals, which gradually evolved into the situation in Dongzhou.
"The Holy Mother of God wrapped up Nanzhou with this important consideration in mind."
Holy Mother?
Li Ping'an nodded slowly and asked again: "Teacher, what kind of grace is the Holy Mother?"
"Our Lady's grace is unparalleled in ancient times, and the avenue of creation sweeps across the heavens."
Yun Zhongzi smiled with squinted eyes and told some stories from ancient times.
In the past, Nuwa, the Virgin Mother of the human race, was originally a great power worshiped by hundreds of tribes in heaven. After she created the human race, she began to retreat and summarize her own creation path, and by virtue of the creation path, she became the number one master in ancient times.
The human race has encountered many disasters because the Holy Mother was unable to escape when she attained enlightenment.
The human race's ability to overthrow the heavens is closely related to the appearance of the Holy Mother.
"The destruction of the ancient heaven was actually not just due to the human race's crusade."
Yun Zhongzi smiled and said:
"This is also the fate of the human race.
"Back then, the human race had been bullied by the hundreds of tribes for tens of thousands of years and was barely surviving, but the hundreds of tribes started civil strife.
"Originally, the ancient witch clan, who were also dissatisfied with the Emperor of Heaven, faced off against the Golden Crow clan. The ancient witch had the blood of Pangu, was powerful, and had the merit of opening the sky. The Emperor of Heaven, Jun Jun, was good at calculating and deliberately instigating civil strife among the ancient witches. Unexpectedly, it backfired.
"The ancient witch was transformed from the blood of Pangu after his death, and he already controls the laws of heaven and earth. There are water gods and fire gods who are in conflict with each other in nature. After being instigated by Emperor Jun, a great war broke out, which greatly damaged the vitality of the ancient witch clan.
After the water god Gonggong came back to his senses, he regretted that his brothers had killed each other, was ashamed of their father, and hated the Emperor of Heaven for instigating him, so he crashed into Mount Buzhou, the Pillar of Heaven.
"You should have heard what happened next. In Buzhou, mountains fell, the sky collapsed, the water of the Milky Way poured into the earth, Nuwa mended the sky, and hundreds of tribes suffered disasters.
"The heaven of hundreds of tribes originally stood on the top of Mount Buzhou. If Mount Buzhou fell, the heaven of hundreds of tribes would also fall. The Emperor of Heaven would lose his power, and the hundreds of tribes would attack each other.
"And this disaster of creatures in heaven and earth has also become the key to the rise of the human race. The Holy Mother came out of seclusion and saw that the human race was almost wiped out, and directly destroyed the main palace of the heaven.
"It was only after that that the human race gathered their strength to conquer the heavens. During the most difficult years of the human race, a human emperor Suiren was born. He became a demon with his body and eventually buried the entire ancient heaven."
Li Ping'an had a little more yearning in his eyes.
What a magnificent world that must be.
It's a pity that such a magnificent world is only a stage prepared for those heroes.
Li Ping'an felt emotional and said slowly:
"It is often said that one general's achievements are so great that thousands of bones are withered. The descendants of the human race only remember the human emperor and the divine generals, but do not know the names of those soldiers who buried their bones."
"How could you think of such a thing?"
Yun Zhongzi sighed softly, his eyes a little more thoughtful.
He said: "Ping An, do you know why I want to study the art of weapon refining?"
Li Ping'an carefully considered Yun Zhongzi's tone.
He had previously called him teacher, but Yun Zhongzi did not refuse.
At this moment, the senior's tone has become gentler, and he can try to go further.
He cupped his hands and said, "Disciple, I don't know."
Yun Zhongzi smiled and said:
"I'm not afraid of making fun of you if I say this. I am an innate being and I follow my leader to practice. I shouldn't think about such things.
"What does this change of heaven and earth have to do with me?
"I am just hanging this body between heaven and earth, just like what you said in your discussion that day, seeking peace and quiet and admiring the colors of heaven and earth blooming from the sea of chaos.
"But I don't know when it started, and I unconsciously thought about how to make living beings stop fighting...cultivation, Taoism, and self-cultivation. After all, I just want to be free and happy. I want to change the situation in this world, but I have no power.
If caught, it will be difficult to move even an inch."
Li Ping'an thought secretly in his heart: This senior is really kind.
Yun Zhongzi changed the subject and suddenly asked: "Ping An, I'm asking you the last question today. You have to answer it carefully."
"Please teach me, teacher."
"If I teach you the art of refining weapons, how will you use your art of weapon refining to protect all living beings in this world after you arrive at Daluo Jinxian?"
There is a bit more expectation in the Yun Zhong sub-item.
Li Ping'an asked: "Disciple, can I answer whatever I want?"
"Of course," Yun Zhongzi said with a smile, "even the Holy Mother and the five leaders will not listen to what you say to me as long as they are not here."
Li Ping'an frowned and thought for a moment before answering:
"Teacher, my disciple's cultivation is low and he is not above your level. After all, his vision is narrow.
"The disciple feels that there should be a constant order in this world, and the order is not determined by the so-called heaven, but should be determined by all living beings.
"That is, how should I put it... In fact, there is no fixed law in the current world."
"Law?"
"Just like the rules in the world, those who kill will die and those who injure others will be punished, from old to young, regardless of gender."
Li Ping'an cupped his hands and said:
"My humble opinion.
"What is missing in this world now is this kind of law.
"The law is a restraint for the strong and a protection for the weak. In ancient times, the Heavenly Court established by hundreds of tribes was actually doing this - establishing some rules, and then using the deterrence of the masters of the hundreds of tribes to maintain these rules.
.
"But the Heavenly Court of Hundreds of Clans is selfless and self-willed, and its own corruption is too rapid.
"Now that the human race is in this world, it is completely possible for the human race to establish a new heaven with the power of the human race. Then the heaven court formulates the rules and regulations of heaven, and then uses the power of the human race to carry them forward, making such laws binding the creatures in the world.
"I have seen from ancient books that there is an ordinary realm called Datong, where people do not pick up things on the road, do not close their homes at night, old people have their end, the strong have their uses, the young have their own growth, the widowers, widowers, lonely people, and the sick are all supported.
"However, the world is so messy and the nature of life is so dark, the law is the necessary restraint on this road.
"And the way of refining weapons, the disciple feels, is the best way to maintain such laws."
"oh?"
Yun Zhongzi turned sideways and asked, "Why do you say that?"
"Because the method of refining weapons can produce many treasures and then achieve a certain effect.
“An official position in heaven corresponds to a powerful treasure.
"Each treasure can ensure that the strength of this heavenly official fluctuates in different ranges, neither too low nor too high."
Li Pingan said seriously:
"In this way, the immortal officials who maintain the law can be based on their own abilities, their own character, and their ability to self-discipline, rather than based on their strength in legal battles.
"How many of those who are good at fighting the law are good at governing?
"Treasures can also be combined with formations. For example, the disciple has been imagining that the self-propelled immortal armor can be activated by combining the true and the virtual realm. If such an immortal armor itself has the strength close to the Yuanxian, as long as
When it reaches a certain amount, it can become the guarantee of the laws of heaven and earth."
Yun Zhongzi's eyes flashed with strange light, and he said with a smile: "Is this the reason why you keep trying to get the spirit storage disk?"
"I haven't thought about it so much before. I study this thing just to increase my own strength and avoid the dilemma of being unable to defeat four hands with two fists."
Li Pingan smiled and said:
"It's a pity that the disciple's weapon refining skills are still too shallow..."
"Take it!"
Yun Zhongzi took out a scroll and an orb from the flower basket and stuffed them directly into Li Ping'an's arms.
Although Li Ping'an did not recognize the scroll and the orb, he felt the extremely rich spiritual power fluctuations on it and the complete spirituality hidden within it, and his Taoist heart was greatly shocked.
"Teacher, this disciple is not asking you for treasures, this!"
"Hey! I am useless, useless! This is the treasure of my Dao inheritance, and it is not used to protect myself from the enemy! Hahaha!"
Yun Zhongzi raised his head and laughed, with a pale look in his eyes.
"The laws of heaven and earth, the refining and protection of weapons, do not determine the level of an immortal official based on the strength of a living being! This is a great act of kindness! A great act of kindness!
"By the way, there is this thing too!"
Yun Zhongzi took out a treasure pill filled with glowing light from his sleeve and stuffed it directly into Li Ping'an's forehead.
Li Ping'an was refreshed, and a golden light appeared on the spiritual platform. The golden light quickly penetrated into the center of his soul's eyebrows.
Yun Zhongzi said sternly: "This is the treasure given by the leader Tianzun. It is the nine-turn elixir refined by Master Taiqing. If you unfortunately encounter a disaster, I can protect a ray of your soul and come back to me. I will do it for you."
How to reshape your body.”
Li Ping'an quickly got off the lotus platform and knelt deeply before Yun Zhongzi.
"Disciple, take it seriously!"
"Sit tight and don't act like this."
Yun Zhongzi has regained his composure and said slowly:
"I'm here to explain some weapon refining techniques to you, but I don't want to interfere too much with you, I just want to give you an introduction.
"I will return to Yuxu Palace later to serve the leader. If you don't understand anything about refining weapons, you can come to Yuxu Palace to find me at any time.
"If outsiders use Daocheng to bully you, just make it clear to them that you are half of my disciple Yun Zhongzi. After all, I only taught you the method of refining weapons, not how to practice the great way."
Half a disciple?
Have you become a half-master?
Li Ping'an felt slightly happy, and it was like a big stone had fallen.
He stood up and bowed to Yun Zhongzi again.
"Disciple, thank you teacher!"
Yun Zhongzi nodded slowly, Fuchen waved lightly, and took Li Pingan back to Wanyun Sect.
Before leaving, Li Ping'an took another look at the royal city of Linzhengxian Dynasty.
One by one, the big monsters were defeated and fled in panic. The immortals of Wanyun Sect chased them in batches, but they would not let even one big monster go.
During this fight, the immortal Qingsu who arrived later, dressed in white and unparalleled beauty, showed off his majestic power on the Yunbing Avenue, freezing thousands of miles of clouds and mist, and successfully trapped more than a dozen big demons, achieving great success.
And the deacon of Yuanxian Realm named Gao Xu buried two giant monsters with strange poison, which attracted the attention of all the immortals.
Of course, the most amazing thing here, and the most confusing thing for those involved, is...
