In the Reincarnation Disc, three figures sat opposite each other. Master Xuandu hugged his arms and nodded continuously. However, the one who spoke was his junior brother.
The Great Daoist Master felt a little emotional.
He watched helplessly as Li Changshou replaced him and became the spokesperson of Ren School … Ahem!
He had personally seen Li Changshou walk to his current position step by step and become the most trusted immortal god of the Jade Emperor of the Celestial Court. He spoke frankly in front of the Saint and was deeply trusted by the Lady of Earth and the Lord Sage.
If he recalled the past, everything seemed to have originated from the Sea God Sect in the South Sea.
An opportunity to change one's life was vividly explained by Li Changshou.
However, how much effort did one need to put in to seize the opportunity? He could also obtain the answer from Li Changshou.
However, the Great Daoist Master was certain that he was Teacher's favorite disciple!
Yes … probably.
After the Lady of Earth bid farewell to the Seven Emotions incarnations, the grass ring was sealed by the Lady of Earth with a great mystical ability and handed to Li Changshou.
The Goddess's gaze was a little reluctant. Her slender fingers gently brushed past the grass ring.
Li Changshou said, "Goddess, I intend to ask the Goddess to help me create a perfect Dao Body. Then, I will use the Reincarnation Pagoda to reincarnate Little Grief and the others."
The Lady of Earth frowned slightly and said softly, "This goes against the Dao of Reincarnation. Thousands of living beings should be the same. They should not be special because of me."
"Goddess, don't worry," Li Changshou said seriously. "There should be flexibility under the iron rules. Otherwise, how can a pool of dead water come to life?
Moreover, this matter is not entirely because of the Goddess's kindness. The incarnations of the Seven Emotions have great mystical abilities. Unless one's Dao heart is as firm as a rock, they cannot resist it. They definitely cannot reincarnate like ordinary living beings.
Goddess, don't worry. I have already obtained the permission of the Jade Emperor in advance. Later, the Reincarnation Pagoda will give me a reincarnated soul and I will go to the Goddess's Palace.
With Senior Brother escorting me, I will be careful. Goddess, don't worry. "
The Lady of Earth smiled faintly and nodded slightly. "Thank you, Changshou."
"This …"
Li Changshou was caught off guard when his real name was suddenly called. He lowered his head and put the grass ring into a jade box. He put it away and said with a smile,
"Your Highness, please call me Chang Geng."
Houtu's eyes became gentler and she said softly, "When I brought your Master's soul back, I accidentally saw some memory fragments. I didn't mean to pry."
"By the way." The Great Daoist Master asked, "Is Fellow Daoist Qi Yuan's soul here?"
Li Changshou's expression darkened. For some reason, he felt a little sour in front of the Great Daoist Master.
A moment later, the Great Daoist Master and Li Changshou stood beside the treasure pool with their hands behind their backs. They looked at the golden balls of light floating in the water.
The Great Daoist Master sighed softly and bowed to the treasure pool.
"That's not bad either. Being able to reincarnate and cultivate once again is better than becoming a withered leaf."
"Master is in the tribulation." Li Changshou sighed and said, "It's hard to defy Heaven's will."
The Great Daoist Master was worried that Li Changshou's spirit would be thwarted. He encouraged him and said, "It's difficult to defy the will of the heavens, but it's not impossible. The Heavenly Dao is based on all living beings. Under the push of all living beings, it will evolve in one direction.
This is the principle that the general trend cannot be changed, and small matters can be dealt with in the mind. "
Li Changshou savored it carefully. "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Apprentice Brother."
Master Xuandu smiled and said,
"Sigh, in another few decades, I won't be able to guide you anymore … All things are balanced, and the Heavenly Dao is restricted.
Changshou, you are destined to fight against the Heavenly Dao on this path.
However, how you fight and how much you fight for is up to you. You don't have to put too much pressure on yourself because of this. Don't forget that you're just a creature in this world.
Follow your heart and walk in accordance with the Dao. Naturally, you will be able to achieve the end. "
So, is this the theoretical support for the Great Daoist Master's decision to skip work whenever he wants?
Li Changshou thanked him at the side and memorized all those words.
The two of them stayed by the pool for a while and strolled around the edge of the Six Paths of Reincarnation for a while before leaving the Six Paths of Reincarnation and rushing to the Reincarnation Pagoda.
With the cover of the Taiji Painting, all ghosts would not be able to detect it.
Master Xuandu sized up the layout of Fengdu City and smiled. "I'm afraid you're the only one who can use a million Heavenly Soldiers as craftsmen."
Li Changshou smiled and said, "The Jade Emperor is quite open-minded."
"Speaking of which, you have to pay attention." Master Xuandu sent a voice transmission. "I'm naturally at ease with Uncle-Master Jade Emperor's character. However, Uncle-Master Jade Emperor is the person closest to the Heavenly Dao. His influence on the Heavenly Dao is second only to the Dao Ancestor.
If the Heavenly Dao wants to bestow a calamity on you, Uncle-Master Jade Emperor might give you some orders. You have to be careful and consider carefully. "
Li Changshou pondered for a while and replied via voice transmission, "Senior Brother, don't worry. I've already made preparations.
There are actually two types of things I do for the Celestial Court. One is that I take the initiative to plot and earn merit for myself. Ahem, it's for the stability of the world.
The other is that the Jade Emperor takes the initiative to give me an explanation, such as the position of Head Instructor Chang 'e. "
"As long as you can tell." The Great Daoist Master stretched his back. "Chang 'e, Heng' e, there's also a human expert in the Moon Palace named Wu Gang.
He's Heng 'e's guard and also the beloved general of the ancient human emperor. Be careful when you climb the wall. He won't be polite to you if he catches you. "
Li Changshou was speechless. "Senior Brother, why should I climb the wall?"
"Yo, you still want to enter openly? Heng 'e still has the status of Da Yi's wife. Your … reputation, Junior Brother! "
The Great Daoist Master raised his eyebrows slightly. The corners of Li Changshou's mouth twitched.
Alright, I'll bear with it.
I'll bring you to the Shang Tribe later and create a dense atmosphere for you. I'll mention the agenda of the two important matters of Ren School that Teacher had given me.
Tsk, I wonder how beautiful Kong Xuan will be after he confirms his gender and transforms into Kong Xuan.
The Reincarnation Pagoda was in sight. Li Changshou and the Great Daoist Master looked at each other. There was no need to send a voice transmission to discuss. They directly revealed their true forms, released their pressure, and calmly floated over.
"Senior Brother, Ksitigarbha is a disciple of the Western Sect after all."
"Yes, I'll beat him up this time so that he won't side with us in the future."
They had a tacit understanding.
…
In the Lingxiao Treasure Hall of the Celestial Court.
The officials and generals gathered together. A few famous Celestial Court scribes of the Celestial Court sealed their bronze mirrors.
Although Youqin Genya was very active and had established a preliminary "prestige" in the Celestial Court, her immortal position was not enough to enter the Lingxiao Hall to discuss matters. She was not seen today.
At this moment …
The white-robed Jade Emperor sat on the platform and calmly played a piece of music to reward the Water God.
The second-rank Deity Position was called Taibai Jinxing and he did not enter the constellation to serve the emperor.
Mu Gong said loudly, "Your Majesty, ever since the Water God entered the Celestial Court, he has made many outstanding contributions. He has helped Your Majesty solve his problems and worked hard for the rise of the Celestial Court.
First, he settled the four seas and summoned the Dragons. At the Immortal Peach Banquet, he stood up and defended the disciples of the Western Sect. Then, he saved the Magi of the North Continent. He destroyed the demons' plans several times and destroyed the demons that tried to cause chaos in the sky.
The Water God reformed the governance, cultivated the heavenly laws, and corrected the Netherworld.
Today, the contributions of the Water God were enough to rank as a second-rank Deity in the Celestial Court.
In order to better assist Your Majesty, I dare to ask Your Majesty to confer the Water God the title of a second-rank legitimate god! "
As soon as he said that, the immortals fell silent.
Dong Mu Gong was an old mouthpiece.
Every time Dong Mu Gong began to speak passionately about something, the Jade Emperor would use Mu Gong's mouth to convey the "outcome" of the matter to them.
The advancement of the Water God was a huge matter that could not be predicted.
It was just like how the authority of a second-rank legitimate god of the Celestial Court was comparable to that of a third-rank Water God.
However, at that moment, the immortals of the Celestial Court just listened. They did not dare to stand up and plead for the Water God. After all, the Jade Emperor was the one in charge of the Celestial Court. The Water God was only assisting the Jade Emperor.
The Jade Emperor laughed and said, "Today, it's time to raise Changgeng to the second rank. Everyone, which Deity Position do you think is suitable?"
After a moment of silence, a Heavenly General stood up and shouted, "Your Majesty, why don't you confer the Water God the Grand Marshal of the Celestial Court? This second-rank Deity Position is in charge of the military affairs of the Celestial Court. It's quite suitable for the Water God."
A civil official frowned and said, "Your Majesty, I don't think it's appropriate.
The Water God is not a Heavenly General. The Water God is unparalleled in intelligence. He should be an example for the officials of the Celestial Court. "
The Jade Emperor nodded with a smile. He felt that it made sense and said, "Everyone, express your opinions.
"Dear ministers, express your opinions. Let's discuss this matter properly today."
Mu Gong immediately stopped talking when he heard that. He knew that the Jade Emperor wanted to hear if there were any better suggestions.
The immortals and gods spoke one after another. Some immortals and gods felt that the Water God should become a Great Emperor, which was the position of the Four Emperors. The true feudal officials of the Celestial Court were below the Jade Emperor.
However, someone immediately retorted, saying that the Water God should be in charge of the Celestial Court and should not be "dispatched".
Only when the twelve second-rank righteous deity positions were mentioned did he feel that they were not suitable for the Water God.
Ao Yi asked if he could add a second-rank Deity Position and let his Brother Hierarch be the Great Dragon God of the Four Seas or something. The other immortals and gods who still wanted to take advantage of him instantly rejected.
Whichever system the Water God was in, that system would naturally be valued.
At that moment, Mu Gong stood up and took out the arrangement that he had discussed with the Jade Emperor previously. The Jade Emperor nodded in satisfaction and let the immortals and gods continue discussing.
At the same time, in the Netherworld Reincarnation Pagoda.
The Great Daoist Master and Li Changshou sat on two wooden chairs. Ksitigarbha sat on a meditation cushion by the window. At that moment, he frowned.
Ksitigarbha sighed and said, "Water God, this is the first time you came to my Reincarnation Pagoda. You actually want me to be biased … Aren't you underestimating me too much?"
Li Changshou smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, that's not right. How is that favoritism?
The Lady of Earth transformed into the Six Paths of Reincarnation and did not care about her own gains and losses for all living beings. At that moment, she is just borrowing the Reincarnation Pagoda to do something for the Lady of Earth. This is the Lady of Earth's private matter and the official matter of us living beings who work for the Heavenly Dao.
Or should I say, Fellow Daoist, are you deliberately making things difficult for the Lady of Earth? "
The corners of Ksitigarbha's mouth twitched.
He sighed and said, "Water God, I really can't win against you.
I's incarnation had once made a great wish. I would treat all living beings equally and not be moved by the various factions. I would also not open the door for the Western Sect.
At the same time, I have to follow the rules set by the Water God previously. Why did the Water God personally ask me to break the rules today? "
Master Xuandu said calmly, "Then blame this matter on the Water God. Just say that the Water God asked you to do it."
Ksitigarbha smiled and said, "In the ranks of the Heavenly Dao, it seems that the Water God is still ranked behind I. The Water God cannot give orders to I."
Master Xuandu frowned and looked at Li Changshou.
Li Changshou shook his head helplessly. He was indeed only a third-rank legitimate god. At that moment, Ksitigarbha was already a god whose status was second only to the Lady of Earth in the Netherworld.
At that moment, a golden light flashed and landed on Li Changshou's body. The rich power of the Heavenly Dao transformed into all kinds of phenomena.
The auspicious clouds were like ganoderma and rays of light spread everywhere. Light music floated out of the top floor of the Reincarnation Pagoda.
Li Changshou carefully comprehended and could not help but smile.
He said calmly, "Reincarnation Pagoda Master, Ksitigarbha, listen up.
Activate the Reincarnation Pagoda and transform the incarnations of the Seven Emotions into the Spirit of Reincarnation. I will naturally protect this spirit and find a place to reside. "
Ksitigarbha sensed carefully and frowned. "The Heavenly Dao is so unbalanced. It actually …"
"Don't misunderstand." Li Changshou smiled and said, "Judging from the time, the Jade Emperor is convening the immortals to discuss matters as usual. He should be rewarding me based on merit and raising my Deity Position.
Although the specific appointment needs to be approved by the Hall of Enlightenment, I happen to be before you in the Heavenly Dao sequence. "
Ksitigarbha was speechless. Master Xuandu almost laughed out loud.
Ta! Ta! Ta! Ta! Light footsteps came from the side. Truth Listener used its Dharma powers to carry a tray and came forward to serve tea to Li Changshou and Master Xuandu.
"Water God, don't be angry. Don't be angry … My master is stubborn.
My master is stubborn. He asked me to talk to him. Drink tea first. Drink tea.
Now, my master and the Water God are working for the Heavenly Dao. Please forgive him in the future. He doesn't know anything. He thinks that he is on the spiritual mountain. "
Ksitigarbha glared at Truth Listener. Truth Listener swept its tail and raised its two front hooves. It gently hammered Li Changshou's leg.
The Great Daoist Master was amused. He smiled and said, "This tea is not bad."
Truth Listener trembled and did not dare to say anything.
"I accept the Water God's orders." Ksitigarbha squeezed those words out of his teeth. Then, he turned around and looked at the scenery outside the window.
The Great Daoist Master gave Li Changshou a look. Li Changshou understood and immediately stood up. He walked to the window sill, leaned against the window, and hugged his arms.
Li Changshou said, "After fighting for so long, I didn't expect this to be the outcome. You and I have become colleagues.
Let's talk calmly. I've actually been waiting for this day for a long time. "
"Water God, you flatter me," Ksitigarbha said calmly. "I'm just a defeated opponent of the Water God. I'm lingering on my last breath here."
Li Changshou smiled calmly and took out the essence of the "Theory of Tricks", one of the three ancient manuals. He sorted out his thoughts and slowly said, "Water God, you and I are not enemies.
"How good would it be if we weren't enemies and didn't have any grudges between us."
"First trick, appreciate each other."
Ksitigarbha's eyebrows twitched slightly. He said, "The Water God's scheme is above mine. I have to admit that."
"There's no need to keep calling me the Water God. Just call me Changgeng."
"Second trick, call me by my name to get closer."
Ksitigarbha wanted to say something but hesitated. He sighed softly and said, "Changgeng."
"Ksitigarbha." Li Changshou's eyes were filled with starlight. He smiled and asked, "Actually, my impression of you has changed. When you jumped into the Reincarnation Pagoda that day, the peace in your eyes did not waver at all.
That is indeed not something an ordinary immortal can do. You are worthy of my admiration. "
[Routine 3: Flattery doesn't work.]
Ksitigarbha smiled bitterly and shook his head. "I was forced to do so. I myself became Teacher's best plan.
I had no choice. I was not completely considerate of all living beings. "
Li Changshou smiled and said, "The Lady of Earth transformed into the Six Paths of Reincarnation. She also considered stabilizing the final destiny of the Magi. However, can you deny her kindness? Of course not.
Actually, you are the same …
I'm inferior to you in terms of morals.
I used the Deity Position to suppress you just now. I'll apologize to you here. I just want to do something for the Lady of Earth. I hope you can understand. "
"Fourth trick: Flatter me. Let go of the reins and advance by retreating. Arouse empathy."
Ksitigarbha's voice became much gentler. He said, "I will do my best to do this matter. I was just angry with you previously. I still can't accept the current situation.
How can I dare to compare myself to the Lady of Earth?
Today, even if I am punished by the Heavenly Dao, I will definitely make this matter happen. "
Li Changshou smiled and nodded.
"Ksitigarbha, do you have any ideals?
Or should I say, when you were cultivating, before you came into contact with these great powers, did you ever think about what you cultivated for? "
"Of course it's to live forever and seek the true meaning of the Dao … Changgeng, what are you laughing at? Is it really that vulgar? "
"Although it's vulgar, it's the truth.
I'm much simpler. It's fine if I live until I die of old age. When I first cultivated, I didn't even dare to think about longevity. "
In the faint light of the Reincarnation Pagoda, the two people by the window chatted and laughed, as if they had been old friends for many years.
At the back, the Great Daoist Master was calmly drinking his tea. When he heard a commotion beside him, he saw Truth Listener covering its eyes with one paw and sighing softly.
"My silly master …"
The Great Daoist Master pointed and fixed Truth Listener on the spot.
Steady.
…
A moment ago, in the Lingxiao Hall.
"Pass the decree to the Hall of Enlightenment. Minister Changgeng will be conferred the title of Lord Taibai Jinxing. He will be a second-rank righteous god of the Celestial Court and will not enter the ranks of the constellations.
He is in charge of the changes of the world, the killings of the world, and the water affairs of the Three Realms. He has the authority to supervise the immortals and gods of the Celestial Court. Minister Changgeng will appoint and dismiss those who are not at the fourth-rank.
In addition, Minister Changgeng will also be the head instructor of the Moon Palace's Chang 'e. The Water God Residence will be changed to the Great White Hall.
When the decree of the Hall of Enlightenment is formed, Taibai will return and the Three Realms will celebrate. "
