What?
In the messy hall of the Green Firmament Palace, Li Changshou looked at the Grandmaster of Heaven Hierarch on the platform through the layers of figures in front of him and more than ten light walls.
The Grandmaster of Heaven Hierarch looked a little helpless. He looked at the tenth-grade Half-Red Lotus on his left palm and then at the confused scholar's soul in his right palm.
The Lord Sage, who did not put on any airs, looked more solemn.
At that moment, the scholar's soul was red. His body kept expanding, shrinking, and expanding, as if it would explode at any moment.
With the protection of the Grandmaster of Heaven Hierarch, he would naturally not let anything happen to him.
Li Changshou was full of praises in his heart …
Putting aside the artistry of the red lotus' collapse and explosion just now, the immortals of Jie School were really ruthless, fast, accurate, and stable!
The moment the red lotus erupted and the Grandmaster of Heaven Hierarch attacked, Li Changshou's first reaction was to grab Yun Xiao's arm and shout for help.
However, just as he was about to raise his arm, golden light flashed in front of him. Yun Xiao had already blocked him with the Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice.
In almost an instant, Grandpa Chao's Sea-Calming Divine Pearl, the Goddess of Golden Spirit's Four Symbols Pagoda, Qiong Xiao's Golden Flood Dragon Scissors, and more than ten defensive numinous treasures that Daoist Duobao had thrown out appeared near Li Changshou, causing more than ten protections and three or four figures to appear in front of Li Changshou!
If a person had reacted so quickly, Li Changshou would not have been too surprised. What shocked him was that almost all the experts of Jie School present had made the right response in the shortest time possible.
The teaching style of Jie School … was terrifying.
At a glance, it was obvious that they had collectively studied the "Three Periods Meeting to Fight and Five Periods Meeting to Kill". Their true combat strength was almost above their respective Dao Realm.
It was no wonder that in the original Great God-Conferment Tribulation, there were often experts of Jie School who were not at a disadvantage when fighting alone …
Of course, the one who reacted the quickest was the Tongtian Hierarch, the Lord Sage.
The moment the red lotus erupted, a beam of Sword Qi appeared in front of all the immortals present. The Hierarch of Tongtian pressed down on the red lotus with one hand, forcibly suppressing the power of the twelfth-grade red lotus that should have completely erupted.
The wave that had almost destroyed half of the Small World just now was just the aftermath of the negative karma of the red lotus.
Suppressing such a precious treasure with one hand, there was no doubt that he was a Saint!
"Master!"
Daoist Duobao put away the protective numinous treasure that he had scattered and hurriedly asked, "Is someone plotting against us?"
The Hierarch of Heaven shrugged, looked at Red Lotus in front of him, and sighed with a smile.
"It's the luck of Jie School. It has far exceeded the limit it can withstand.
These twelve lotus flowers were formed from the lotus seeds of the Chaos Green Lotus that had yet to ripen.
According to the situation today, if you want to suppress the destiny of Jie School, you have to use the thirty-second grade green lotus formed by the only mature lotus seed of the Chaos Green Lotus to suppress the destiny of our sect.
Unfortunately, the green lotus had already dissolved itself.
Cough, today's events were all within my expectations …
Chang Geng, this human's soul has been completely separated from the red lotus. The red lotus itself is also incomplete and will not continue to disintegrate. There is no need for this soul. You should settle down first. "
"Yes," Li Changshou answered and quickly came out from behind the crowd.
He did not hide back just now. With the Taiji Painting and the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda on him, Li Changshou actually wanted to protect Fairy Yun Xiao.
It was not that he was slow. Instead, he was protected by the immortals of Jie School.
It was truly the treatment of a Junior Brother.
Li Changshou walked to the front of the stairs and picked up the confused scholar's soul. Golden light surged in his palm, and wisps of merit wrapped around the scholar's soul, melting the negative karma inside.
What surprised Li Changshou was that at this moment, the scholar's soul seemed to have been reborn. His soul emitted the Dao runes of a Connate Spiritual Treasure, and his soul was as strong as an ordinary Perfected Immortal Realm Qi Refinement cultivator!
It was as if this was a spiritual creature that had just broken free from its old shell and was somewhere between a human, an immortal, and a ghost …
It was really strange.
The immortals of Jie School put away their treasures and surrounded him.
The Grandmaster of Heaven Hierarch floated the red lotus that only had ten and a half petals left in front of him. He pinched his fingers slightly and deduced. He kept thinking.
The Saint stood at the peak of the Dao, but he was also a living being. At that moment, it was enough to prove his strength to be able to see through the heavenly secrets under the obstruction of the Great Tribulation. It was just that his actions were less showy and less arrogant. He did not look that unfathomable.
Zhao Gongming smiled and sighed. "In the end, I still got busy for nothing. I even lost so many scenery and items in the Green Touring Palace."
The Grandmaster of Heaven Hierarch opened one eye and said, "Gongming, go and restore the outside world and check the damage to the treasures."
"Ah, yes!"
Grandpa Chao hurriedly lowered his head and accepted the order. He rushed away with the immortals of Jie School.
The Goddess of Golden Spirit said in a low voice, "Master, could it be that there are really so many people with negative karma who have sneaked into Jie School and implicated the luck of Jie School?"
The Grandmaster of Heaven Hierarch smiled and said,
"Merit and negative karma are determined by the heavens. Good and evil are true.
Back then, when I was preaching the Dao in the East Ocean and the South Ocean, if there were people with evil intentions, they would naturally not be able to enter my side.
Those who can hear my Dao are naturally fated with my Dharma. "
Li Changshou could not help but translate in his heart …
"This time, I'm going to shatter my teeth and swallow it."
The Goddess of Wudang asked, "Master, why don't you clear away those disciples who are only using the name of Jie School and implicating us today?"
The Goddess of Golden Spirit said, "What would that become?
Before the Great Tribulation arrived, we relied on the immortals to support the reputation of Jie School. After the Great Tribulation arrived, we have to chase away these fellow disciples?
We can only share blessings and power but not trials and tribulations. It's not my Dao. "
The Goddess of Wudang said seriously, "Senior Sister, you can't say that. The Grandmaster of the Purple Cloud Palace has already given us a clear message in this Great Tribulation. We will enter the tribulation with Chan School and the Western Sect.
It's a good thing to let these disciples with negative karma leave our sect and let them escape the calamity. "
Daoist Duobao pondered for a while. "That's the logic, but others will definitely slander me when they interpret it.
Besides, what should the fellow disciples who have been expelled think? "
Qiong Xiao smiled and said, "Since we said that we will share blessings together, we naturally have to endure hardships together.
This is not the only time the Great Tribulation will happen. We have experienced it a few times since ancient times. With Master around, we don't have to worry too much. "
The Goddess of Golden Spirit said, "That's right. Under the Great Tribulation, we have to work together. The Heavenly Dao wants to send a Great Tribulation. Let's fight with all our might and obtain a chance of survival!"
The experts of Jie School replied in unison.
"It's better if the red lotus is there. It's fine if it's destroyed."
"This is probably to let us practice the teachings and fight the Great Tribulation to the end."
"Hmph, those fellows from Chan School will probably wake up laughing when they cultivate!"
Fairy Yun Xiao took two steps forward and said softly,
"Master, can this red lotus not be restored? If we throw it into the sea of blood, can it be restored? "
"Just now, the luck of our sect directly crushed the roots of this red lotus."
The Grandmaster of Heaven Hierarch looked regretful, but in the blink of an eye, he smiled again. He pushed the red lotus in front of the disciples and said, "This item can be considered a good numinous treasure after being repaired.
Who wants to use it? "
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Is this how Jie School distributes treasures?
Then, wouldn't I, a disciple of Ren School who could barely be considered half an immortal of Jie School …
I want peaches, I want peaches.
Although he was deeply involved with Jie School, he had to distinguish between public and private matters. If he fell into a quagmire, how could he fish someone out of it?
The soul in his hand had already settled down. Clearing the negative karma on the scholar did not consume too much merit. Instead, it made Li Changshou gain many insights.
The important content of the Great Dao of Equalization was the system of humans, spirits, immortals, demons, and devils. A living being like the scholar who had coincidentally become a "special" existence would help Li Changshou complete the Great Dao of Equalization.
Only by understanding all living beings could he balance them.
The red lotus was in front, but the immortals of Jie School did not fight for it. They looked at the lotus flower in disappointment.
The twenty to thirty immortals present knew what the drawbacks of Jie School were.
The fire of hope that had been ignited previously was extinguished by a basin of cold water. Everyone felt uncomfortable.
It was indeed a huge setback for the morale of the experts of Jie School.
The Eldest Senior Brother of Jie School, Duobao, smiled and said, "Master, this treasure was brought by Junior Brother Changgeng. Although it is damaged, it can also transform into a Connate Spirit Lotus. Why don't we give it to Junior Brother Changgeng?
Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters, you should not have any objections. "
The immortals of Jie School nodded.
Li Changshou hurriedly said, "Although this treasure is damaged, it is still a precious treasure. Moreover, this treasure still retains the power to absorb negative karma.
There are only two disciples in Ren School, Senior Brother Xuandu and I. Moreover, I am serving in the Celestial Court. Senior Brother Xuandu will not increase his negative karma. To be fair, it is most appropriate for him to stay in Jie School.
Uncle-Master, in my humble opinion, why don't we let Senior Brother Duobao hold this treasure and resolve more of the destiny of Jie School before the Great Tribulation really arrives? "
The Goddess of Golden Spirit said, "Master just said that negative karma is just set by the Heavenly Dao. Jie School does not judge good or evil."
Li Changshou looked at Fairy Yun Xiao. The latter's eyes were filled with anticipation.
Clearly, she wanted him to convince the Goddess of Golden Spirit.
Then, he would convince the Goddess of Golden Spirit.
At the same time, he had to take this opportunity to instill some "necessary" concepts in Jie School.
"Senior Sister, you're wrong," Li Changshou said warmly. "The Heavenly Dao only sets the rules to restrict all living beings.
Due to the fact that there are many living beings and the world is too big, the rules set by the Heavenly Dao have to be simple and direct enough to maintain general stability.
Just like in the mortal world, the laws in many large cities are based on the rules of "those who kill will die, those who injure will be punished, and those who steal will be exposed to the public".
Merit and negative karma are the same. The Heavenly Dao does not restrict them.
In the eyes of a disciple of Ren School who is from the human race, that is how I understand Uncle-Master's words.
For example, a kind-hearted person with great merit had harmed the lives of four out of five people in a family because of something. Only a young man survived. The young man tempered himself and found an opportunity to kill the kind-hearted person to avenge his family. He was infected with great negative karma.
Therefore, he could not use simple merit and negative karma to judge whether living beings were good or evil.
However, Senior Sister Jin Ling, is this young man evil? "
The Goddess of Golden Spirit said, "Taking revenge is not evil. However, he will be infected with many negative karma. That is the injustice of the Heavenly Dao."
"That's right, but he is still evil."
Li Changshou said seriously, "Senior Sister, don't be anxious. Listen to me.
Let's put aside the identity of the good person's enemy. This young man killed someone and was evil in nature.
The unfairness of the Heavenly Dao is that the merit of the good person has turned into negative karma on the young man, causing the young man to suffer the torture that he should not have endured.
To the young man, the Heavenly Dao protected the greatest villain in his eyes.
However, to the mortals who had been helped by the good person, this young man was evil.
When the young man goes to the Netherworld and faces the judge, he will also be sentenced to the eighteen levels of hell. "
Qiong Xiao said, "Then … according to that, can't this young man take revenge?"
"Yes, but he doesn't have to kill with his own hands. He doesn't have to let himself fall into the evil Dao. That's why the Heavenly Dao wants to establish the Celestial Court."
Li Changshou took two steps forward and bowed to the Grandmaster of Heaven Hierarch.
"If the Celestial Court is strong enough and can affect the Three Realms, the story of the good person and the young man can be improved.
Just think about it. A good person had harmed the young man's parents and had already fallen into the evil Dao. The Celestial Court could sentence the good person to death. The merit accumulated by the good person could be used to change his luck after reincarnation.
The young man did not kill anyone and took revenge. Wouldn't that be a hundred times better than killing evil?
The Heavenly Dao created the Celestial Court to maintain justice under the simple iron rules of the Heavenly Dao! "
"Justice …"
The Goddess of Golden Spirit muttered to herself. The immortals of Jie School were also thinking.
The Grandmaster of Heaven Hierarch smiled at Li Changshou, but he did not say anything. He collapsed on the steps and observed the reactions of his disciples.
Seeing that the Lord Sage had allowed that, Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief …
Today's publicity work for the Celestial Court was completed!
It was really troublesome not to be able to talk about the concept of "rule of law".
After all, in the eyes of the Celestial Court, the disciples of the Three Sects of the Dao Sect were all "lawless".
If his words today could plant a seed in the Dao hearts of the immortals of Jie School and make one or two of them not resist the Celestial Court and the God-Conferment Ceremony, Li Changshou would not waste his breath.
Li Changshou changed the topic and pulled it back to the red lotus.
"When the Great Tribulation arrives, immortals with negative karma can indeed easily turn into ashes. It would be fine if they have an evil personality. However, wouldn't it be a pity if they were young Fellow Daoist?
Fighting with the Heavenly Dao and intercepting an opportunity was not about fighting and killing.
Methods, strategies, adaptations, games, schemes … were actually extremely important.
When I was listening to Teacher's teachings, I was touched by something.
The strength of our mystical abilities, the power of our treasures, and our knowledge are not the main reasons for our life and death. Arrogance is. "
After saying that, Li Changshou bowed to various places and calmly walked back to Fairy Yun Xiao's side.
Yun Xiao was like most of the immortals of Jie School. She pondered and her eyes flickered.
While the immortals of Jie School were not paying attention, the Grandmaster of Heaven Hierarch blinked at Li Changshou secretly.
Li Changshou hurriedly lowered his head and bowed. He did not dare to accept the Lord Sage's praise.
He put the scholar's soul back into the Dharma treasure that nourished his soul and recalled the words he had just said.
Actually, according to his principle of seeking stability, there were some things that he should not say. However, in order to plan for the future more steadily, he might say some things today.
"Thank you."
Yun Xiao suddenly sent a voice transmission.
Li Changshou smiled calmly and looked at her without saying anything.
…
Half a day later, outside the Three-Immortal Island.
Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao laughed and flew back into the clouds. Fairy Yun Xiao rode a cloud. Li Changshou rode the "Smooth Wind" and floated towards the South Continent.
The damaged red lotus was naturally left in Jie School. It was not bad to be able to reduce some negative karma.
On the cloud, Fairy Yun Xiao sat at the side. Li Changshou meditated obediently. The two of them would quickly look away when their gazes met.
For some reason, Li Changshou really found the "waves" and "slowness" of his previous life.
Yun Xiao said gently, "You're right. Arrogance is the main reason for our lives. It's really thought-provoking."
Li Changshou said, "This is actually Teacher's teaching."
In fact, he had read that in a book in his previous life. He had a deep impression of it.
However, in order to give a more reasonable explanation and not reveal too much of his sharpness, he could attribute such a "good thing" to his teacher, the Saint of Taiqing. His teacher had no reason to blame him.
Li Changshou felt a little guilty. He calmly changed the topic. "As far as you know, how many experts with deep negative karma are there in Jie School?"
"I know a few people." Yun Xiao chanted a few Dao names softly.
When he heard the word "Goddess of Stone", Li Changshou's eyes lit up.
The Goddess of Stone is an immortal of Jie School who is in the top three of the God-Conferment Unlucky Index. Does she have many negative karma?
Li Changshou did not want to add to Yun Xiao's worries. He did not ask further about that matter and immediately drifted away.
Just like that, the two of them chatted for a while and got closer to each other. The distance between them changed from three feet to two feet.
However, if he wanted to advance further, there would be many tests.
Yun Xiao found the right context and suddenly asked, "What did Master say to you when he brought you to the Treasure Pool?"
"He didn't say too much. He just briefly talked about the red lotus." Li Changshou sighed and said, "Third Uncle-Master is a good master."
"Yes," Fairy Yun Xiao said. "Master has never been stingy with us. He cares for us like a father."
"This … I feel it."
"What's wrong?" she asked curiously. Her eyes were filled with light, and her eyelashes fluttered slightly.
Li Changshou said, "When the red lotus erupted, Uncle-Master's first reaction was to use his sword Qi to protect me. Then, he suppressed the red lotus and saved the treasure.
In the past few days, I went from Teacher's Taiqing Temple to Second Uncle-Master's Jade Void Palace and then to Third Uncle-Master's Green Touring Palace. It's really like a dream. "
Yun Xiao said gently, "It's been hard on you. You keep running around for the Dao Sect."
"I only hope that the Great Tribulation will pass soon," Li Changshou said warmly. "That way, when you and I go out, Uncle-Master will be more at ease. He won't have to watch with his own eyes."
Yun Xiao could not help but tilt her head.
In the Green Touring Palace, a group of disciples of Jie School sitting on the steps looked at each other.
The Grandmaster of Heaven Hierarch, who was leaning higher, frowned and asked in confusion, "He can actually see through my methods?"
Before the disciples could answer, they heard Li Changshou's laughter coming from the square "painting frame" set up by the Four Immortal Vanquishing Swords.
"I'm just making things up."
However, Yun Xiao looked around solemnly and casually set up several layers of clouds.
At the same time, in the Taiqing Temple.
A certain Lao Dao smiled and looked at the image of the Taiji Painting in front of him. The scene was bright and clear. His voice was full and refused to be distorted.
Li Changshou and Fairy Yun Xiao chatted and laughed along the way. They arrived at the South Continent.
Li Changshou summoned the Water God's precious treasure, the Soap Martial Flag, and searched everywhere. He visited a few dragon kings of the great rivers and found three places that could house the scholar's soul.
Li Changshou took out the soul of the scholar and said that he was going to fulfill his promise and make the scholar the little god of the Celestial Court.
The scholar immediately shed tears of gratitude and bowed continuously.
"I'll really give you three choices this time," Li Changshou said with a smile.
The scholar shuddered a few times, feeling slightly frightened. After listening to the options given by Li Changshou, he heaved a sigh of relief.
It was nothing more than choosing three different territories. Fortunately, he wasn't told to go to the Ice River of Hell.
Following that, the scholar's soul began to mutter.
"Choose Land A. The mountains and waters are beautiful, but there are few people there. Go and be the little god there yourself. Only insects and fish can speak.
Choose Land B. There are more people and they can be worshiped. However, if there are too many people, it will not be good for him.
Choose Land C. There are not many people, but there is only a small river. I can't do anything … What should I do? "
Li Changshou smiled and did not say anything. He let the scholar choose by himself and wandered around with Fairy Yun Xiao in the scenery of the mortal world.
However, after waiting for a while …
The scholar began to scratch his ears and cheeks. He stared at the three words floating in front of him and kept raising his hand and falling.
Just as he was telling Yun Xiao how he had fumbled in the Sea God Qi that day, Li Changshou's heart suddenly skipped a beat …
There was a guest in the rear hall of the Sea God Temple in Anshui City!
Li Changshou scanned with his spiritual will and did not dare to be careless. He reminded Fairy Yun Xiao and sent his spiritual will over.
Not long after, an old immortal paper effigy emerged from the ground and bowed to the figure waiting in the inner hall.
"Senior Brother Yu Ding, why are you here today?"
