The clouds were warm, and the winding path was fragrant.
In a pavilion on the Three-Immortal Island, seven figures stood or sat. They were all the eldest personal disciples of Jie School.
All the immortals had different expressions.
Daoist Duobao was the calmest. He smiled and slowly savored a cup of hot tea.
Zhao Gongming and the Goddess of Golden Spirit were a little anxious. They were pacing back and forth in the pavilion.
Yun Xiao sat in the corner of the pavilion. Her long hair was tied into a bun and she wore a scholarly dress. Her face was cold and beautiful, but she did not reveal much emotion. She was always gentle as she looked at her two younger sisters.
Qiong Xiao, who was dressed in a light yellow dress, Bi Xiao, who was dressed in a short skirt and jacket, and the Goddess of Turtle Spirit, who preferred light green dresses, gathered on both sides of the stone table in the middle of the pavilion. Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao were playing chess, and the Goddess of Turtle Spirit was "pointing" at them …
The three of them looked the most relaxed, as if this matter had nothing to do with them.
The crisp sound of a chess piece landing on the ground was mixed with the chirping of birds and the chirping of insects in the wind, making the pavilion quite peaceful at this moment.
Outside the pavilion, Zhao Gongming turned around and wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he only let out a sigh and continued to pace with his hands behind his back.
Qiong Xiao's beautiful eyes were focused on the chessboard. She pinched a round chess piece with her slender fingers and smiled.
"Big Brother, if you have something to say, then just say it. We're here to discuss countermeasures. If you don't say anything, then how can we discuss?"
"Sigh …"
Zhao Gongming sighed, "What can I say about this?
Changgeng is on good terms with us, but he is a disciple of Ren School after all.
I actually know that Chang Geng has always been worried that we will enter the calamity. Whenever there is something to gain merit, he will call us together, so that we can be safe in the great calamity.
He has done enough for Jie School. We can't rely on Changgeng for everything. "
"Eh … Huh?"
The Goddess of Turtle Spirit, who was dressed in a light green dress, said in surprise, "There's such a good thing as picking up merit?"
Qiong Xiao rolled her eyes. Her expression was exactly the same as Bi Xiao's, disdainful with a little bit of pride.
Qiong Xiao said, "In any case, I haven't seen it many times."
Bi Xiao said, "Yes, yes! The disciples of Ren School are all biased! "
At the side, Daoist Duobao smiled and squinted. Just as he was about to tease, he subconsciously looked at Yun Xiao …
Bear with it, bear with it for now.
As the Eldest Senior Brother of Jie School, he had to pay attention to his demeanor and words.
The Goddess of Turtle Spirit thought carefully and asked softly, "Didn't we discuss how to snatch the Blood Sea Red Lotus? Why are you entangled with Junior Brother Changgeng? "
Zhao Gongming explained,
"If the matter of the Red Lotus is true, then we must fight for it.
There was an 80% chance that Chan School would fight for it. That was understandable. There was no reason to say that such a treasure could only belong to Jie School.
In this way, Chang Geng's attitude is very important. "
"Not bad."
The Goddess of Golden Spirit added. She hugged her jade-like arms and leaned against the railing.
Her slender figure had a natural charm to it, but it was a pity that it was completely overshadowed by the pressure she exuded.
The Goddess of Golden Spirit said, "It's very difficult to feel how powerful Changgeng is if I don't work with him.
He can predict the enemy's moves, judge the enemy's path, and give a comprehensive response. Even if he faces the schemes of the Saints, he can rely on his own intelligence to deal with them.
Such a person can borrow several treasures from Uncle-Master Taiqing at any time to protect himself. He also has the unpredictable Great Dao of Equalization. He is also the leader of the current Great Tribulation and the authoritative god in the Celestial Court.
Furthermore, this junior brother's attitude is, to a certain extent, Uncle-Master's attitude.
If he is won over by Chan School, our chances of obtaining the red lotus to suppress the destiny of the sect will be extremely slim. "
The Goddess of Turtle Spirit pursed her lips and blinked.
Bi Xiao muttered softly, "Is Brother-in-law already that powerful?"
"Big Sister," Qiong Xiao said, "What did you say in the letter you sent him just now?"
Yun Xiao said gently, "I just told him not to make things difficult for me. Judge this matter from the standpoint of a disciple of Ren School. Don't let your personal feelings affect your judgment."
Upon hearing that, the Goddess of Golden Spirit frowned slightly. She was a little dissatisfied and asked,
She was a little dissatisfied and asked, "Junior Sister Yun Xiao, is personal love not important?
He and you are about to become Dao companions. Why can't you use this opportunity to get him to lean towards Jie School?
You are the disciple of the Saint of Jie School, and he is the disciple of the Saint of Ren School. If you are a match made in heaven, Ren School and Jie School should be closer. Why can't you benefit from him? "
Fairy Yun Xiao said softly, "Senior Sister, perhaps you don't know that I have no plans or actions when I befriend him. We are just happy with each other and are at peace with each other.
Because of me, he has already done too many things that he should not have done. How can I use this relationship to make him change his mind? "
There was a hint of sharpness in the Goddess of Golden Spirit's eyes. "Junior Sister, could it be that you only care about the relationship between the two of you and ignore the righteousness of the sect?"
"Personal feelings are personal, and the relationship between the sect is the relationship between the two. Why do you have to confuse the two?"
Yun Xiao stood up. Her plain white dress flowed like flowing water, leaving no creases behind.
Her words were gentle, but there was a sense of unwavering determination in them.
"Just as I said in the letter to him, if Eldest Senior Brother gives the order later, we will go to the sea of blood to search for the twelfth-grade negative karma red lotus. I will naturally do what a disciple of Jie School should do.
If I use my personal feelings to confuse my personal feelings, or if I use my personal feelings to confuse my personal feelings, I can't do either. "
The Goddess of Golden Spirit was about to speak again when Zhao Gongming and Daoist Duobao hurriedly walked forward and interrupted almost at the same time.
Zhao Gongming hurriedly said, "I think Second Sister makes sense, but Jin Ling is right."
"Junior Sisters, don't argue. Don't argue." Daoist Duobao smiled and said, "The red lotus has yet to be born. Perhaps the entire matter is a scheme by the Second Hierarch of the Western Sect to make us fight with Chan School."
Bi Xiao snorted softly. "Chan School does not lack treasures to suppress the destiny of the sect. Why are they fighting with us?"
The Goddess of Golden Spirit said calmly, "They naturally don't want us to live peacefully.
Previously, I had sent a few disciples to the Blood Sea to search for the whereabouts of the red lotus. They had discovered traces of the disciples of Chan School.
If the Great Tribulation is destined to harm the three thousand Longevity Immortals of the great sects, Chan School naturally hopes that the share of the three thousand will land on Jie School and the Western Sect. "
"Ah." Qiong Xiao pinched the chess piece and gently tapped her face. "Who wants themselves or their fellow disciples to die? That's reasonable. There's no need to blame Chan School. "
Daoist Duobao chuckled.
"I say, everyone, don't you think you're thinking too far ahead?
Now, we're not even done yet, and you're already thinking about what benefits we can get from snatching the red lotus?
According to me, it's best if we have this twelfth-grade red lotus this time. If we don't, we won't be worried. Anyway, it won't make the current situation worse. Why should we be worried? "
"Eldest Senior Brother, you're carefree!"
The Goddess of Golden Spirit shook her head and did not say anything else.
"In that case," Zhao Gongming said. "The few of us are too familiar with Changgeng. Don't appear directly this time, lest Changgeng feels awkward.
Eldest Senior Brother, Junior Sister Gui Ling, why don't the two of you go to the Netherworld first and discuss this matter with Changgeng?
I reckon that Chan School should send someone over. "
"I'll go too. Can I, Sister?"
Qiong Xiao asked. She did not forget to slowly place her chess pieces. The wind and clouds on the chessboard changed. The chess pieces made of jade emitted crystalline immortal light.
He had already won with five consecutive pieces!
Bi Xiao patted her forehead in frustration. The plaything that she had obtained from Xiao Qiong Mount had made the Three-Immortal Island a lot more fun.
Fairy Yun Xiao pondered for a while and nodded slightly. She agreed.
The six eldest disciples of Jie School discussed for a while again. In the end, they decided that Daoist Duobao, the eldest senior brother of Jie School, would bring the eldest disciple of the inner sect, the Goddess of Turtle Spirit, and the eldest disciple of the outer sect, Qiong Xiao, to the Netherworld to discuss the twelfth-grade red lotus with Li Changshou.
Qiong Xiao changed into a dignified dress and dressed up seriously. She looked like a "bright and beautiful little fairy".
After Qiong Xiao was done packing, Duobao opened the cave. Qiong Xiao and the Goddess of Turtle Spirit entered. The three of them quickly left the Three-Immortal Island and rushed to the Netherworld.
Yun Xiao walked to the edge of the pavilion and looked at the sky. The breeze blew a wisp of black hair beside her ear. Her slender hand, which was hidden in her soft sleeve, was pinching the warm copper coin.
"Junior Sister Yun Xiao."
A soft voice sounded from behind. The Goddess of Golden Spirit said in a low voice, "I'm not dissatisfied with you just now. We've known each other for many years. I know your personality. Don't take it to heart."
Yun Xiao turned around and chuckled. Her eyes were filled with smiles.
Zhao Gongming said, "I wonder if the matter about the twelfth-grade red lotus is true. The timing of its appearance is too subtle."
"Someone must be plotting behind the scenes," the Goddess of Golden Spirit said. "It could be the Western Sect, a Saint, or someone we don't know. Don't be careless."
Fairy Yun Xiao muttered to herself, "I wonder how he should deal with it."
As she muttered softly, her concern followed her gaze to the cloud and floated to the horizon. It turned to Li Changshou's ear.
…
Ding!
Ding! Ding!
On the wooden stairs that led to the top of the Reincarnation Pagoda.
The green-furred dog, which had shrunk its body by more than half, was holding a tray filled with teacups. It trembled and slowly climbed to the top floor.
Truth Listener ran to Li Changshou's side and handed him a cup of tea with its immortal power. It chuckled and said, "Lord Water God, have some tea. Have some tea."
A vein popped up on Ksitigarbha's forehead.
Then, Truth Listener turned around and ran to Bai Ze to squat. It held a cup of tea with its two front paws. "Lord Bai Ze, have some tea. Have some tea."
Veins popped up on Ksitigarbha's forehead.
Truth Listener did not notice it. It used its immortal power to push two cups of tea to the Golden-Winged Roc and Wei Shenmo. It said warmly, "My humble abode is simple. Marshals, it's been hard on you."
The two marshals of the Celestial Court thanked him.
Finally!
Truth Listener trembled and held the last cup of tea in front of the burly man that the green ox had transformed into.
"S-Senior, have some tea!
All the mounts in the Three Realms want to reach your level. It's mighty to be able to carry the Lord Sage everywhere! "
The green ox smiled calmly and took the teacup. He raised his hand and rubbed Truth Listener's head.
In an instant, Truth Listener's green and white fur was dyed a little pink. It ran behind Li Changshou and stood up to help the Water God massage his back.
Wei Shenmo frowned and looked at that scene. He was a little … stunned.
He was stunned.
Is this the divine beast, Truth Listener, that can listen to the hearts of all living beings in the Three Realms?
Crack, crack, crack, crack!
There was also the young Daoist who was sharpening his saber and setting up the iron pot. Was he really the master of the Reincarnation Pagoda that his previous incarnation had seen in the Netherworld and had been touched by — Ksitigarbha?
"Uh." Wei Shenmo could not help but rub his glabella. He was a little unused to it.
Li Changshou said slowly, "Does Truth Listener know about the red lotus?"
Truth Listener hurriedly said, "Lord Water God, the matter regarding the red lotus should be true. However, I don't know where the red lotus is hidden."
"Did the Western Sect find anything in the Blood Sea previously?"
"The Western Sect has sent …"
"Ahem!"
Ksitigarbha coughed hard and lit up the short knife in his hand.
Truth Listener trembled a few times and turned to glare at its master. Then, it continued, "Lord Water God, don't mind me. My master still has feelings for the Western Sect.
I will never tell you, Lord Water God. The Western Sect has sent thousands of living beings, from the disciples of the Saints to the Primordial Beasts and negative karma demons. They entered the sea of blood to search for a long time and left without finding anything.
That's why there's news that the twelfth-grade red lotus is about to appear. "
Ksitigarbha snorted and threw away the short knife in his hand. He said calmly, "Water God, why don't you stay for a meal today? I heard that Mr. Bai Ze has good cooking skills. I wonder how many times you have braised divine beasts!"
Truth Listener grinned and ran back to its hiding place. It calmly lay down.
Bai Ze smiled. "This kind of cooking is harmful to the heavens … Fellow Daoist Ksitigarbha, since you have already entered the Heavenly Dao sequence, why do you still consider yourself a disciple of the Western Sect?"
"I originally thought that cultivating the Dao and seeking longevity was because I was carefree. It was only when I comprehended everything that I looked back that I realized that everything originated from one word."
Ksitigarbha said slowly, "Just like the Water God, ever since we stepped into a sect and cultivated a mystical ability, we have already been branded with such an indelible mark.
Many mortals can't walk hundreds of kilometers in their entire lives.
As for immortals like us, although we can travel the trichiliocosm and even explore the Chaos Sea, we still have to remember where our roots are. Otherwise, our hearts will be in chaos. "
Li Changshou gave him a thumbs-up. "Fellow Daoist, you seem to be really free recently. You actually have so many immortal insights."
"Hmph." Ksitigarbha stopped smiling. "I will definitely not help you find the twelfth-grade red lotus today."
"Really?"
Li Changshou, Bai Ze, the green ox, Wei Shenmo, and the Golden-Winged Roc looked behind Ksitigarbha.
There, Truth Listener was holding a wooden sign in its mouth. There were a few crooked words drawn on it.
"Hell, negative karma ferocious souls.
The red lotus is absorbing negative karma. "
"Huh?"
Ksitigarbha turned his head to look. The wooden sign beside Truth Listener's mouth swished and was quickly swallowed by Truth Listener. It calmly chewed a few times.
"What are you eating?"
"Master, in order to express my respect for Senior Green Ox, I tried to figure out the unique skills of the ox race and chew the food I ate last time."
Ksitigarbha immediately looked disdainful and moved to the side.
Li Changshou stood up and smiled. "Since Fellow Daoist Ksitigarbha is unwilling to help, forget it. Let's go."
The other four experts agreed and stood up to bid farewell to Ksitigarbha and Truth Listener.
Ksitigarbha did not stand up. He just sat there with his eyes closed to rest.
After leaving the Reincarnation Pagoda, Li Changshou frowned and pondered for a while. He was thinking about the method that Truth Listener had given him.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible.
If he could find a ferocious soul with enough negative karma and not strong soul power in the eighteen levels of hell, wouldn't it be equivalent to marking the negative karma power?
Then, as long as he followed the flow of the negative karma power and threw in more "samples", he might be able to find the whereabouts of the twelfth-grade negative karma red lotus!
It was better than waiting here.
Wei Shenmo asked, "What does Truth Listener's hint mean?"
Li Changshou smiled and explained the method he had just thought of in the Primordial Dao language. Apart from Bai Ze, the other three looked enlightened.
The green ox smiled and said, "Truth Listener is really smart."
"It should be Ksitigarbha reminding us," Li Changshou said. "However, Ksitigarbha still has his own persistence that he is unwilling to let go. That's why he used Truth Listener."
Wei Shenmo smiled and said, "Why can't Truth Listener make the decision?"
"Marshal," Li Changshou said warmly. "There are no restrictions on that wooden sign. Ksitigarbha has immortal senses."
Wei Shenmo patted his forehead and smiled emotionally.
"Let's go to the eighteen levels of hell to pick …"
Li Changshou paused and looked at the stream of light that streaked across the sky above Fengdu City. He smiled and said, "Let's split up.
"Let's split up. The senior brothers of Chan School have arrived.
Mr. Bai and the Golden Roc, please take my token and choose a suitable negative karma soul. I'll receive the senior brothers here. "
"Okay."
"Teacher, don't worry!"
Bai Ze and the Golden-Winged Roc agreed and turned to rush to the Reincarnation Immortal Island in Fengdu City.
The few streams of light that flew over transformed into four figures. They were Chi Jingzi, Perfected Huang Long, Perfected Taiyi, and Perfected Yu Ding. A faint shadow flew out of Perfected Taiyi's sleeve. It was Ling Zhuzi.
Perfected Huang Long seemed to be afraid that the atmosphere would be awkward. As soon as he landed, he began to laugh. He displayed the social etiquette of the Primordial World to the fullest.
Both parties greeted each other. Wei Shenmo and the green ox stood behind Li Changshou and did not make their presence felt.
Chi Jingzi looked at Perfected Taiyi. The latter had his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky. He did not speak at all.
Li Changshou took the initiative to say, "Senior Brothers, you should be here for the red lotus, right?"
"That's right." Chi Jingzi revealed a gentle smile. Just as he was about to continue, a round pit suddenly collapsed in the universe beside them. Three figures immediately jumped out.
The slightly plump Daoist at the front smiled calmly. "It's better to come early than to come at the right time. This is really a coincidence."
Chi Jingzi frowned slightly and immediately bowed with the immortals of Chan School. He addressed him as "Senior Brother Duobao".
The Goddess of Turtle Spirit and Qiong Xiao did not greet him. They only nodded in acknowledgment.
The representatives of the Chan School, Chan School, and Jie School met unexpectedly.
Although it was not raining all the time, the atmosphere was not too harmonious.
Li Changshou pondered for a while. Just as he was about to invite the few of them to the Heavenly Soldiers' camp to discuss the Dao …
"Uncle-Master Changgeng!"
Ling Zhuzi took the initiative to jump in front of Li Changshou and revealed an innocent and bright smile. "I want to return to the Celestial Court to continue cultivating for a period of time!"
"That's right." Li Changshou raised his hand and patted Ling Zhuzi's shoulder. He encouraged him, "Don't forget to improve and obtain the right results."
Perfected Taiyi pursed his lips. "Indeed, raising a disciple is like raising a daughter. He can be abducted."
Chi Jingzi immediately revealed a smile.
The three immortals of Jie School looked at each other and felt a little pressured.
At that moment, Qiong Xiao smiled and naturally jumped in front of Li Changshou. She bowed slightly to Li Changshou and naturally reached out with two slender hands to grab Li Changshou's arm.
Her moist lips and white teeth trembled softly, and her lark melted people's hearts.
"Brother-in-law ~ I also want to go to the Celestial Court to play."
Li Changshou's body stiffened, and his hair stood on end. He wanted to struggle, but he could not. At that moment, every move of his could be interpreted too much.
Chi Jingzi and Perfected Huang Long were speechless. They subconsciously looked at Perfected Taiyi.
Go, I can't lose!
Perfected Taiyi immediately took half a step back and hid behind Perfected Yu Ding.
"What are you thinking about? Heng 'e is not my sister!"
The corners of Li Changshou's mouth twitched crazily. He felt that he had been kicked out for no reason. There was a danger on his forehead.
The two small hands that seemed to be hugging his arm were pinching and twisting hard …
Fortunately, the one moving outside was only a high-level paper effigy. His main body was hiding in the sleeve of another paper effigy. He did not feel any pain.
