Someone was causing trouble.
After hearing Daoist Duobao's words, Li Changshou and Zhao Gongming looked at each other and had the same thought at the same time.
In fact, Daoist Duobao felt that something was amiss after saying that. He chewed on it carefully …
The Goddess of Fire Spirit has already moved to the Luofu Cave on Mount Emei to cultivate. Zhao Gongming, the eldest disciple of the outer sect of Jie School, and the eldest disciple of the inner sect, the Goddess of Fire Spirit, have long been Dao companions.
Perfected Huang Long from the Jade Void Palace personally said that! "
Daoist Duobao muttered,
"Could it be that Huoling has been schemed against?"
Zhao Gongming immediately replied, "How did I hook up with Disciple-Niece Huoling? Ahem, how did such a thing happen?
Previously, Junior Sister Jinguang fainted in front of my Cave Abode. I brought her back to the residence.
I thought that it would be inappropriate for me to take care of her, so I asked Disciple-Niece Huoling to help take care of Jinguang. She is the closest to Jinguang and is usually inseparable. "
Daoist Duobao's slightly plump face immediately pondered. He stood on the cloud with his hands behind his back.
"This news was released by Junior Brother Huang Long …"
"Senior Brothers," Li Changshou smiled and said, "Let's go to the inner hall first. There's a Taiji Painting in the inner hall to conceal our words. No one will hear what we say."
There was naturally a hidden meaning in his words …
Zhao Gongming said, "I'll go back to the Cave Abode and take a look. I'll ask what happened!"
"Let's go together." Daoist Duobao revealed a rare serious expression. "Changgeng, you're more resourceful. Can you come with us?
Although this matter is small and might just be a joke from Junior Brother Huang Long, it can easily cause a rift between Chan School and Jie School.
You are a disciple of Ren School. It's easy for you to mediate. "
"Alright."
Li Changshou agreed readily. He took out a paper effigy from his sleeve and handed it to Zhao Gongming.
"Senior Brothers, bring this paper effigy with you first. I'll make some arrangements."
"Okay."
Gongming and Duobao nodded in unison. They immediately rode a cloud … Ahem, dug a hole and rushed to Mount Emei's Luofu Cave.
After the two big shots left, Li Changshou frowned slightly. He placed his hands behind his back and landed on the cloud in the rear hall of the Sea God Temple.
This matter was simple, yet not simple.
Could it be that someone saw the Great Daoist Master's rumor spreading rapidly in the five continents and chose to use such a thing to stir up trouble?
Li Changshou put the paper effigy back into the underground paper effigy vault. The paper effigy in the Celestial Court began to get busy. He rode a cloud and rushed to the Tushita Palace.
Although he did not have much information at the moment, Li Changshou could sort out a logical line of reasoning.
Perfected Huang Long must have met the Goddess of Fire Spirit in the Luofu Cave.
The problem was whether Perfected Huang Long had told anyone else about it. If he had told anyone else, even if it was just a simple sentence, "Why is the Goddess of Fire Spirit in the Luofu Cave?", the rumor would definitely have come from Perfected Huang Long.
However, if Perfected Huang Long did not mention it to anyone, then this matter …
It was a little playful. He could basically confirm that someone was secretly plotting against him, and it was most likely someone from the Western Sect.
He had to be steady. This matter concerned the three sects. No matter how small it was, it could become a huge thunderstorm.
Li Changshou did not dare to mediate recklessly. It was safer to let the Great Daoist Master appear …
The paper effigy rushed to the Tushita Palace. Li Changshou still wanted to go out and ask for an audience, but the palace door had already slowly opened.
Li Changshou was delighted when he saw that. He carried his horsetail whisk and walked up the stairs. In a flash, he entered the palace and rushed to the backyard.
Finally, after entering and leaving the Lingxiao Treasure Hall at will, an ordinary minister of the Celestial Court unlocked the authority to enter and exit the Tushita Palace at will!
Yes, one must have dreams.
Li Changshou made up his mind. His next step was to enter and exit the Taiqing Temple at will. He tried his best to cozy up to Ren School!
When he saw the Great Daoist Master in the backyard, Li Changshou frowned slightly …
The Great Daoist Master's resting place was too simple.
He did not even have a decent bed. How could he sleep well when he was lying on a haystack made of grass? Could he sleep well in his dreams?
"Ahem, Great Daoist Master … Great Daoist Master? Senior Brother? "
Li Changshou called out softly. The rhythm of Master Xuandu's snoring was not disrupted at all.
This …
Li Changshou took out a stool from his sleeve and sat down. He took out an erhu and sat on the stool. He played a passionate horse racing song.
"Huh?"
The Great Daoist Master, who was sleeping soundly, slowly opened his eyes. He turned to look at Li Changshou, who was sitting not far from him. He stretched and sat up.
"Changshou, what happened? Who bullied you?"
Li Changshou put away the erhu and quickly explained the small matter that was happening.
The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, "Perhaps it's just a misunderstanding. There's no need to be so nervous."
"If it was before the incident in the East Ocean, I would also think that this might be a misunderstanding," Li Changshou said. "After the previous battle, I have to think more.
According to the information that I just received, can you deduce the name 'Ksitigarbha'? He should be a disciple of the Western Saint. "
The Great Daoist Master said, "But Wen Jing …"
"Great Daoist Master!"
Li Changshou suddenly interrupted and gestured for him to keep quiet.
The Great Daoist Master could not help but laugh. "This is the Tushita Palace. What are you afraid of?"
At that moment, the Great Daoist Master held the image of the Taiji Painting in his left hand and closed his eyes to focus. He began to deduce carefully.
Soon …
The twelfth-grade Gold Lotus warned.
However, the Taiji Painting slowly rotated. Wisps of Yin and Yang Qi condensed out of thin air and entered the image of the painting.
The Great Daoist Master closed his eyes. Wisps of Dao runes surrounded him. Soon, he slowly exhaled.
"The Ksitigarbha that you're talking about is the disciple of the Western Sect's Aunt-Master. His cultivation level is not bad. He seems to have just come out of seclusion recently."
Li Changshou said, "He was the one who planned the matter in the East Ocean."
"Oh?"
The Great Daoist Master raised his eyebrows and smiled. "Not bad. Changshou, it's rare for you to meet an opponent."
Li Changshou continued, "Great Daoist Master, can you continue deducing? I want to know if Ksitigarbha has any powerful mystical abilities, especially the ability to investigate.
It's very likely that Perfected Huang Long rushed to the Luofu Cave to look for Zhao Gongming and accidentally met the Goddess of Fire Spirit. The two of them had a conversation and someone heard it. "
The Great Daoist Master did not understand. He smiled and said, "Who can keep staring at the Luofu Cave?"
Even so, the Great Daoist Master continued to close his eyes and focus.
This time, he really spent some effort. The Great Daoist Master's expression was solemn …
"There's an auspicious beast called Truth Listener. This auspicious beast is Ksitigarbha's mount," the Great Daoist Master said. "It's revealed by the heavenly secrets. It has a mystical ability that can listen to the thoughts of the living beings in the Three Realms and distinguish the truth of the world.
This is not considered a powerful mystical ability. If one's realm is slightly higher, as long as they are prepared in advance and seal their Dao hearts, they will not be heard by it. "
Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief. "It's good that I can guard against it."
The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, "Are you saying that Ksitigarbha is using Truth Listener's mystical ability to cause trouble?"
"This is just a guess. I don't dare to make a wild guess."
After thinking for a while, Li Changshou asked, "Are there many auspicious beasts like this in the Primordial World now?"
"I can't say for sure." The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, "Many mighty figures who have lived since ancient times have such strange mystical abilities.
In terms of auspicious beasts, when the ancient Demon Court was at its peak, there was a great demon named Bai Ze. Its Heavenly Fate mystical ability was to seek luck and avoid calamity. When the third Great Magi-Demon War began, he disappeared.
I've fought against Bai Ze twice, and he always managed to escape in advance each time.
Just as I had killing intent, this fellow sensed danger. It's a hundred times more troublesome than Truth Listener. "
The ancient Bai Ze was still alive?
Li Changshou made a mental note of this matter and led the topic to this rumor.
The Great Daoist Master did not want to appear because of such a small matter.
Li Changshou said,
"I feel that although this matter is small, if Jie School goes to the Jade Void Palace to question Perfected Huang Long, it will be very easy for the matter to blow up.
Great Daoist Master, why don't you invite Perfected Huang Long first and then rush to the Luofu Cave together? I have an incarnation waiting there.
I still have to think of a way to prevent such a thing from happening again. "
"Alright." The Great Daoist Master stood up and reminded, "It's best if we can settle this once and for all. Such rumors are really unpleasant."
"Great Daoist Master, don't worry. I already have a plan."
The Great Daoist Master nodded slightly and used the Cosmic Teleportation to leave the Tushita Palace.
Li Changshou looked at the empty Tushita Palace hall again and bowed before slipping out.
It was unknown where Little Gold and Little Silver had gone. The Tushita Palace today was surprisingly cold …
After leaving the Tushita Palace, Li Changshou rushed straight to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall. He waited outside the hall for a while and multitasked.
The Great Daoist Master quickly brought Perfected Huang Long to the Luofu Cave and met Duobao, Gongming, Li Changshou, and the two little Goddesses who were at a loss.
The matter between Zhao Gongming and the Goddess of Fire Spirit was a rumor. Once the few people involved met, it would naturally be explained.
Perfected Huang Long even took the initiative to swear a Great Dao oath that he had never told anyone anything about the Goddess of Fire Spirit. The power of the Heavenly Dao could be considered to have verified it.
At that point, Li Changshou finally had no doubts.
There was a high chance that it was done casually by Ksitigarbha and Truth Listener …
Ksitigarbha had the help of the divine beast, Truth Listener. He could "catch shadows" and casually create rumors. Although the effect was not bad and he felt like he could "overcome a thousand kilograms with little effort", he was still at a disadvantage.
That matter was a weakness!
The Western Sect was the first to start doing that. That was the reason.
Then, he would retaliate appropriately. That would be the result.
Since he had sown a bitter cause, he had to suffer the consequences!
After making up his mind, Li Changshou walked into the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.
The Jade Emperor, who was sitting on the throne, immediately perked up and smiled faintly.
The white-robed Jade Emperor said, "Minister Changgeng, you've been standing outside for a long time. Is there anything that you can't say?"
"Your Majesty, I was indeed a little hesitant just now. I don't know if I should ask you …"
"Ask. I'll tell you everything I know!"
Li Changshou pondered for a while and asked softly, "Your Majesty, how much Heavenly Dao power can you mobilize? To what extent can you do it? "
The Jade Emperor was a little confused. He did not know why Li Changshou would mention that …
"Um …"
The Jade Emperor hummed softly and said solemnly, "If we encounter evil people, people who are disrespectful to the Celestial Court, or ferocious people who attack my Lingxiao Treasure Hall, it won't be a problem to ask the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder to respond."
Li Changshou was impressed.
He admired the Jade Emperor's increasingly strict style of doing things.
The Purple Heaven Divine Thunder … is not a problem …
There's no one else.
…
In the Luofu Cave.
Li Changshou closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the meditation cushion in the corner. The four big shots of the three sects sat around the short table. The Goddess of Golden Light and the Goddess of Fire Spirit hid in the stone chamber deeper in the Cave Abode.
Golden Light continued to lie there unconscious. The Goddess of Fire Spirit felt a little guilty. Fortunately, Li Changshou had already secretly sent a voice transmission to ask the two of them to act to the end.
There was silence in the Luofu Cave for a long time …
"Eldest Senior Brother," Daoist Duobao said, "Can we just let this matter go?"
Master Xuandu smiled and shook his head. "Without any evidence, how can we confront the mastermind?"
"His intentions can be killed!" Perfected Huang Long cursed. "Those who plot behind his back can be killed!"
Zhao Gongming stroked his beard and said in a low voice, "We really can't let this matter go. Such rumors have already spread everywhere and tarnished Disciple-Niece Huoling's reputation for no reason.
However, just as Eldest Senior Brother said, what can we do if we know that the Western Sect is causing trouble? "
Duobao also said, "Could it be that we have to swallow this grievance just like that?"
The Great Daoist Master asked, "How?"
The three Daoists fell silent and frowned in thought.
Duobao suddenly laughed. "Then let's go and spread rumors everywhere. We'll just return the favor."
Zhao Gongming said, "At that time, rumors will spread everywhere. There will be no evidence. We will be the ones who suffer in the end."
"Senior … Brothers?"
Li Changshou opened his eyes in the corner and smiled calmly. He shook the hem of his Daoist robe and slowly stood up.
"I have a plan that might work."
The eight eyes lit up in unison.
Zhao Gongming stroked his beard and smiled. "What's the plan?"
Li Changshou bowed and stood up. Then, he smiled and said, "This plan is different from the past.
I call it — suppressing one's desires first. Since the opponent has given us this opportunity, we might as well make full use of it. "
Daoist Duobao could not help but ask, "How?"
"Blow up the matter!"
Li Changshou said firmly, "It's so big that we can alarm the Lord Sage at any time. We can use this to make the Western Sect panic and make the mastermind feel that he can't withstand such karma. We can put pressure on him!"
The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, "Changgeng, tell me your plan. Let's discuss it in detail."
"Yes." Li Changshou bowed with a Dao salute and sorted out his thoughts.
"This counterattack can be divided into three steps.
The first step is today.
Later, Senior Brother Huang Long will have to leave this place angrily and cause some commotion. When he returns to the Jade Void Palace, he will complain to a few experts of Chan School.
After that, I still need Disciple-Niece Huoling to put on an act. It would be best if she seeks death and feels that her reputation has been insulted. She will spread the news.
The first step is' Perfected Huang Long was wronged in the Luofu Cave. The Goddess of Fire Spirit used her death to show her determination '.
Remember, everyone who knows this plan must always be vigilant. Do not give the enemy a chance to take advantage of you.
Since the other party wants to plot against our Dao Sect, let's scare them and teach them a lesson. We will also let them know that there will be endless consequences if they use despicable methods! "
The Great Daoist Master and Daoist Duobao's eyes lit up. They understood Li Changshou's subsequent thoughts.
On the other hand, Zhao Gongming and Perfected Huang Long looked at each other and saw that they did not understand each other's eyes. They immediately felt more at ease.
They were not a family.
An hour later …
Perfected Huang Long's expression was gloomy. He rode a cloud and left the Luofu Cave. After flying for less than a few hundred kilometers, he turned around and faced Mount Emei. He snorted coldly and left with a flick of his sleeve!
Not long after, the Goddess of Fire Spirit's eyes turned red. She followed Daoist Duobao and left the Luofu Cave. At the same time, she took away the "seriously injured" Goddess of Golden Light.
Just like that, a great show began.
Li Changshou did not expect that Duobao and Perfected Huang Long would agree to his plan so readily …
In the past hour, the four experts of the Dao Sect had even exchanged their acting skills and deduced the subsequent developments. Li Changshou felt gratified.
One of his paper effigies hid in Perfected Huang Long's sleeve. Later, he would secretly observe the "wind direction" of Chan School.
There were actually five levels to this plan.
Li Changshou told the big shots the four levels and kept the last one.
A gentleman would not wait for a month for revenge.
He would use this opportunity to attack Ksitigarbha and build a good foundation for Ksitigarbha's isolation in the future. At the same time, he would be able to restrict and set rules when Ksitigarbha schemed again in the future.
Not every move could be used casually.
