Silence.
In the main tent of the Heavenly Soldiers' camp, Wei Shenmo sat upright in the main seat. His gaze flickered left and right. He tried his best to slow down the circulation of his immortal power, afraid that he would cause any commotion and break the silence.
Outside the main tent, a few Heavenly Generals who pretended to pass by secretly observed the situation.
The group of Chan School and the group of Jie School sat opposite each other. At that moment, Daoist Duobao was the leader. The seat opposite Daoist Duobao was empty. It was estimated that Guang Chengzi was on his way.
Of course, reverse mystical abilities like transforming clouds into horses were not popular in the Primordial World.
Li Changshou moved a meditation cushion and sat in the middle of the tent. He endured the pressure that he should not have endured at his age.
If the bunch of fools in Xiong Village had not caused trouble in the beginning and established the Sea God Sect …
If he had not cozied up to the Great Daoist Master back then …
Now, he should be a slightly stronger Gold God. He should be living a carefree life on the Xiao Qiong Mount. The things he needed to consider were how to disguise himself, tease a certain person, raise flowers, plant trees, refine Ambition Pills, and make Poisonous Dragon Wine.
Unlike now, he was sitting between the two largest Immortal Dao factions in the Three Realms, thinking about how to balance the two sects and prevent everyone from fighting.
Those two millstone-like auras were slowly grinding against his sturdy physique ….
He recalled that when he chose to sit in the middle of the two sects, Qiong Xiao took the opportunity to pull him to sit down with her. He really broke out in cold sweat.
The relationship between a sister-in-law and a brother-in-law was something that people would dislike easily!
Li Changshou was very confident that the rumors about Heng 'e would collapse on their own after a long time.
However, the rumors about his sister-in-law could not be washed away. It was easy for Yun Xiao to lose her composure and really misunderstand …
Li Changshou tried his best to persuade Qiong Xiao to sit next to the Goddess of Turtle Spirit.
Qiong Xiao was actually not familiar with him. She had deliberately gotten close to him this time to show off to Chan School.
"Ahem."
In the silence, Bai Ze could not help but stand up. He bowed to Daoist Duobao and Chi Jingzi and smiled.
"May I know why you have come here today?
We can't stay here forever. Everything can be discussed, but we should at least say a few words first. "
Daoist Duobao cupped his hands and smiled. "Actually, it's nothing much. It's just that I haven't seen Changgeng for a long time. I came here to take a stroll and look for treasures.
The junior brothers of Chan School are also interested in the Blood Sea Red Lotus? "
Chi Jingzi forced a smile and pondered for a while. He said, "In the past, when the Pangu God opened the world, the Chaos Green Lotus suffered a calamity. A few lotus seeds landed everywhere in the world and turned into a few twelfth-grade lotus flowers.
This red lotus absorbs endless negative karma. If it appears, it will definitely cause living beings to be plunged into misery and suffering … It has to be destroyed. "
Qiong Xiao pulled a long face and said in a crisp voice,
"Fellow Daoist, there's something wrong with your words!
How could treasures be divided into good and evil?
The twelfth-grade Gold Lotus of the Western Sect is a Merit Gold Lotus. It is the opposite of the negative karma red lotus. The Western Sect uses the Merit Gold Lotus to suppress the destiny of the sect. However, they usually steal and do evil everywhere.
Could it be that the evil deeds they do become good because of the protection of the Merit Gold Lotus? "
Chi Jingzi continued to ponder, but he could not answer.
Perfected Huang Long said, "That's not the same thing."
"It's not the same thing, but the logic is the general logic." Qiong Xiao changed the topic. "Brother-in-law, don't you think so?"
Li Changshou looked up and smiled. He nodded slowly and sighed.
"In that case …
Even if we discuss here, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the masses.
Why don't I invite the Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters of Chan School and Jie School to the edge of the sea of blood to discuss the twelfth-grade negative karma red lotus in the name of the disciple in charge of the teaching affairs of Ren School?
I will work hard to mediate this matter and give everyone a fair explanation. How about that? "
Perfected Yu Ding sighed slowly and looked at Li Changshou with admiration.
The Golden-Winged Roc wiped the corners of its eyes and raised its head with its hands behind its back. It sighed softly. "In the end, Teacher took on everything."
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
It was not that noble.
That could only be considered the price that he had to pay to invite a large number of experts from the two sects to help.
Daoist Duobao smiled and said, "There's no need to inform me. I have just spread the news and asked the junior brothers and sisters who have nothing to do to gather here as soon as possible."
Chi Jingzi also said, "Senior Brother Guang Chengzi and the others are already on the way. There's no need to shout here."
The corners of Li Changshou's mouth twitched slightly.
Do you guys start shaking people the moment you meet?!
If I don't handle it well today, I'm afraid I'll really fight.
I'll be steady. Later, I'll make a disclaimer and establish myself as the "person who pulled the fight". As for whether I can successfully pull the fight, it will depend on my ability.
Perfected Taiyi smiled and said, "Jie School is known as the Ten Thousand Immortals. They naturally have many people. Senior Brother Duobao, don't call the 1,800 disciples of the Saints over."
Daoist Duobao smiled and did not say anything. Although he wanted to say that Jie School promised not to send Junior Sister Yun Xiao first, he considered his Eldest Senior Brother's dignity …
It was better to keep those words to himself.
Qiong Xiao rolled her eyes and stood up. She shouted softly, "Brother-in-law, I'll make you a cup of tea!"
Li Changshou blinked at Qiong Xiao. The latter smiled and blinked back, making Li Changshou feel worried.
He was not a person who knew his place …
Bai Ze stood up in time and smiled. "Qiongxiao Fairy can rest here. How can I let you do it? I'll go get some tea and snacks. Everyone, wait a moment. "
At the crucial moment, Mr. Bai was still the best.
Qiong Xiao pursed her lips and sat back in her seat in low spirits. She continued to be bored.
Silence …
It was still the kind of "silence" that could make Li Changshou imagine the cicadas chirping in the summer afternoon even if there were no other noises.
After a while, Bai Ze brought a large plate of exquisite snacks to the two fairies and retreated to the corner gracefully.
Wei Shenmo asked softly, "Water God, why don't we tear down the main tent and expand the space?"
"That's right. When there are more people later, this place is indeed too narrow."
Li Changshou stood up and smiled. "The Reincarnation Pagoda is a good place to go. Why don't we go back again?"
Daoist Duobao said, "Alright." The immortals of Chan School did not have any objections.
Hence, without obtaining Ksitigarbha's consent, the immortals from the Dao Sect naturally occupied the top floor of the Reincarnation Pagoda and used the Mustard Seed Cosmic technique to temporarily turn the originally not spacious top floor into a magnificent hall.
Not long after, the immortals of the two sects rushed over.
Eight of the twelve Gold Gods of Chan School had arrived. Four or five Merit Gold Gods had appeared. Dozens of ordinary disciples and disciples of the Saints had also arrived.
On the other hand, Jie School was much more complicated. Most of them were divided according to the Immortal Islands and rushed over in batches. Two hundred people from Golden Ao Island, eighty from Nine Dragons Island, a hundred from Penglai Island … and so on.
Li Changshou thought of a joke in his previous life.
"You never know how many fighters can get off a five-element divine carriage."
In the Primordial World, that joke was also common.
"Never jump to conclusions. How many immortals can stand on a white cloud that flies out of Jie School's Dao field!?!"
There are too many disciples of Jie School …
Li Changshou could not help but ask, even if the twelfth-grade red lotus was taken away by Jie School, could it really suppress such teachings?
In ancient times, if the seniors who had walked to the front of the path of cultivation first explained some simple Dao and principles to the mountain grass, insects, birds, and beasts, and helped them to develop their intelligence, they could also earn merit points.
That was what 'enlightenment' meant.
Li Changshou now suspected that there were so many disciples of the Saints in Jie School. Could it be that the Grandmaster of Heaven had chatted "happily" when he was enlightening living beings in ancient times and directly imparted the Dao …
On the top floor of the Reincarnation Pagoda, Ksitigarbha sat in a corner with a black face. He hugged his arms and did not dare to say anything about the current situation.
Truth Listener revealed its "mighty and domineering" divine beast true form. It lay on the ground and hid around him. It closed its eyes and pretended to be asleep.
While waiting for the immortals from both sides to gather, Li Changshou found an excuse and temporarily slipped away in order to avoid awkwardness.
He, Bai Ze, and the Golden-Winged Roc found an empty corner outside Fengdu City and began to secretly think about the method to search for the red lotus …
"I've already found 99 suitable souls," Bai Ze said in a low voice. "They all have a lot of negative karma, but they were mortals when they were alive.
However, there is one thing that the Golden Roc had previously tested with two souls in the sea of blood. The soul itself is easily invaded by the filth of the sea of blood. It will collapse in a moment. "
Li Changshou thought for a while. "Use some immortal spells to protect their True Spirits. We are only borrowing their power and not letting their souls dissipate."
The Golden-Winged Roc said, "Teacher, these are all people who are plagued by negative karma. It's not a pity even if their souls are destroyed."
"No," Li Changshou said seriously. "Since the other party has already entered the Eighteen Levels of Hell and is not burned by the flames of karma or struck by lightning, it means that there is still a chance for them to suffer and atone for their sins. Since we are immortals, we cannot end the lives of living beings."
The Golden-Winged Roc pondered and nodded slowly.
Bai Ze took out a pink transparent ball from his sleeve. Ninety-nine light spots floated in it.
"Water God, should we verify if this method works first?"
Bai Ze gave a pertinent suggestion. "If it works, we will negotiate with the other two sects later. We will have more chances to speak."
Li Changshou pondered carefully for a while and took out a paper effigy from his sleeve. He nodded and said, "In that case, the Golden Roc will bring my incarnation over. Mr. Bai and I will try our best to stabilize the situation here and stall for time."
"Okay!"
The Golden-Winged Roc agreed and rushed to the sea of blood with Li Changshou's paper effigy with the transparent ball.
Li Changshou was multitasking. He immediately discussed with Bai Ze how to "uphold justice" later.
In short, the core point could not be shaken.
"Jie School is too powerful. Let's weaken the Western Sect."
…
Li Changshou and the Golden-Winged Roc rushed to the sea of blood and escaped into the depths of the sea of blood to find a suitable place to place the "soul".
Li Changshou sat on the back of the Roc and took out six souls that were filled with negative karma from the Dharma artifact. He used his immortal power to wrap the souls and True Souls and left a wisp of his Dao runes on the souls for identification.
As he sized up the six thumb-sized souls, Li Changshou could not help but be interested in a young man who was dressed like a scholar.
He looked sallow and thin, and he looked weak. He did not know what crime he had committed to accumulate so much negative karma and be thrown to the eighteenth level of hell to suffer.
Li Changshou raised his hand and tapped it gently. He undid the restraints on the soul and turned it into a phantom the size of a normal person. He knelt in front of him.
The scholar's body trembled for a while. His eyes, which were already numb from the torture, were filled with color …
"I … have suffered enough?"
Li Changshou asked, "Are you an evil person?"
The scholar looked up and sized up Li Changshou. His expression was calm, but his body relaxed a little.
There were many evil ghosts and ferocious souls in hell. Most of the ghostly servants disguised themselves as ferocious. When he suddenly saw such a kind-looking old immortal, he did not feel afraid.
He explained in a weak voice, "I've been reading for eighteen years just to inherit my father's will and become a civil servant."
"Oh?" Li Changshou frowned slightly. Could it be that there was some injustice?
He really had to take care of it.
Li Changshou gestured for the Golden Roc to fly slower and said seriously, "Then why did you cause so much negative karma?"
"Ah …"
The scholar let out a long sigh and was filled with the desire to confide. He smiled bitterly and said, "Do you want to hear the detailed truth, the rough truth, or the lies I made up?"
His style of speaking was interesting.
Li Changshou smiled and said, "Then I'll tell you the rough truth."
"You speak too slowly."
"Oh?" Li Changshou frowned and said, "Why are you speaking too slowly and causing negative karma?"
The scholar smiled bitterly. "I'm born to do things slowly. I'm not in a hurry. Moreover, when a few things are placed in front of me, I'm often at a loss and don't know how to choose.
The first negative karma should be a fire in my neighbor's house. I was the first to rush over. There were cries for help in the wing and main house. I was instantly confused. I didn't know if I should save the main house first or the wing first. Should I save the old man first or the children first … "
Li Changshou was puzzled. "Then why is there negative karma?"
"I must have been hesitating and forgot to call for help."
Li Changshou was speechless.
The scholar sighed and said, "The second negative karma is because the fire in my neighbor's house burned down our street. I was chased out of the town and homeless. I met an injured soldier. He was shot several times and one of the arrows pierced through his shoulder.
He asked me to return to the city to report to the Lord, but he fainted before he could explain it clearly.
In the end, should I report this to the City Lord, or to the General, or to the Captain of the Garrison Guards that I can see …?
Later on, when I made my choice, the city was destroyed. "
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
"The third negative karma is because I hated my incompetence. I wanted to go to the mountains to escape the world and spend the rest of my life there. However, I was unlucky and was captured by a nest of female ghosts. They made me choose who would absorb my Yang energy first.
Should I choose Little White, Little Qian, or Ah Lan?
In the end, they seemed to be very angry. That night, they went to kill the innocent. I took the opportunity to escape.
Now that I'm in the Netherworld and I think about my life, that time … is quite regrettable. "
"I roughly understand." Li Changshou sighed and placed the other five souls into the sea of blood. As he observed, he listened to the scholar describe his tragic life.
Soon, the method provided by Truth Listener showed its effects.
The five souls and five negative karma were indeed floating in the same direction!
As the scholar explained, Li Changshou began to increase the sample size. He increased the number of souls to 30 and observed the direction in which they were attracted. He also drew an arrow on the "map" of the sea of blood in his heart.
After drawing the arrow, Li Changshou immediately retracted the souls. He sat on the back of the Golden-Winged Roc and turned to the next area.
He did the same and drew a second arrow.
The intersection of the two straight lines drawn by the two arrows was the source of the "suction force"!
However, how could Li Changshou come to such a conclusion?
Relying on the Golden Roc's speed, Li Changshou began to shuttle back and forth in the sea of blood. He rushed in all directions and kept placing negative karma souls. He observed the direction in which the negative karma gathered and floated, trying his best to eliminate all interference factors.
In the end, after 99 arrowheads were drawn, a narrow area was determined. Li Changshou also sensed a trace of mysterious Dao runes from afar …
The scholar's soul sighed softly and finished narrating his short life.
"Immortal." The scholar could not help but ask, "Are you going to let me go or send me back to hell? Or …"
Crack!
A finger tapped the scholar's forehead, turning him back to the size of a thumb and sealing him back into the Dharma artifact.
What a naggy person.
Li Changshou said, "Golden Roc, hide your aura and hide here. If anyone enters a 50-kilometer radius, remember his aura. There's no need to stop him."
"Yes! Teacher, don't worry! "
Li Changshou nodded slowly and closed his eyes to rest on the Golden Roc's back.
The Reincarnation Pagoda was already in a state of tension. The two sects were about to roll up their sleeves and start "sparring". They had to rush over to transfer the conflict and export the Western Sect …
Ahem, it's time to uphold justice that belongs to the Dao Sect.
