The wind blew by his ears, and spiritual energy surrounded him. There seemed to be a soft cushion beneath him, as if he was lying in the clouds.
Ling Zhuzi's eyelids fluttered. The seals around his essence soul slowly dissipated … He was lying in the clouds.
At the side, a Lao Dao sat quietly. He had a kind expression, white eyebrows, and white hair. He was naturally the familiar face of an old immortal.
"Uncle-Master …"
Ling Zhuzi shouted softly. His immortal power flowed, and his fatigue disappeared. At that moment, he slowly sat up.
They seemed to be rushing back to the Celestial Court from the Qianyuan Mountain.
It was just like when he was brought to the Celestial Court by his Uncle-Master back then.
"How's your mental state?"
Li Changshou asked warmly.
Ling Zhuzi was stunned. The gloomy emotions in his Dao heart spread again. He sighed dejectedly and sat cross-legged, but he could not lift his spirits.
He smiled bitterly and said softly, "Uncle-Master, I've disappointed you …"
"You actually didn't disappoint anyone. There's no need to say that," Li Changshou said warmly. "You're the only one who disappoints you.
Do you remember why I brought you to the Celestial Court? "
Ling Zhuzi pondered carefully for a while and answered, "It was Master's request. Uncle-Master, please bring me to the Celestial Court to train and increase my manliness."
"Do you still lack manliness now?"
Li Changshou smiled and asked. Ling Zhuzi could not help but fall into deep thought.
Li Changshou said warmly, "A few hundred years is very long, but it's also very short. Since ancient times, there have been too many living beings who have passed by. However, there are very few who have left their marks in the Primordial World.
The people of the world admired those who sat in high positions.
The high-ranking people of the Primordial World were all ancient and ancient victors. Therefore, living beings would feel depressed when they were born in this world and looked down on by these victors from long ago.
Therefore, you are not the only one who has this mental state. All living beings have it.
Your depression because your Dao Realm cannot increase is not only present to you, but also to all living beings. "
Ling Zhuzi was stunned.
Li Changshou swayed the horsetail whisk in his hand gently, making the cloud move slower to give Ling Zhuzi some time to digest.
If Ling Zhuzi reincarnated into Nezha with regret and disappointment, it would definitely leave behind regrets. It would even affect the growth of his Dao Realm and his personality.
Li Changshou still thought that his disciple-nephew would be more cheerful in the future, regardless of whether he was called Ling Zhuzi or Nezha.
At the same time, in the cave abode of Mount Qianyuan.
The three Perfected Ones of Chan School sat around a chess table. On the table, they used the Cloud Mirror Technique to display the scene of Li Changshou's paper effigy and Ling Zhuzi riding a cloud back to the Celestial Court. At that moment, Perfected Taiyi's expression was extremely awkward.
Without comparison, there would be no harm.
Perfected Yu Ding had even cursed in a low voice, "Look, this is how you persuade a junior!"
Zhenren Huang Long was also afraid that Taiyi would be embarrassed. He smiled and comforted him, "Junior Brother Taiyi, don't take it to heart. You and I both know Changgeng's abilities. He can't be compared to him."
Perfected Taiyi spread his hands and sighed. "Really … different professions are like different mountains."
"Listen," Perfected Yu Ding said. "Disciple-Nephew Ling Zhuzi has spoken."
Taiyi held his breath and leaned forward, looking like he was humbly seeking advice.
On the cloud, Ling Zhuzi asked softly, "However, Uncle-Master, if you don't walk to a high place and no one can see your figure, how can you leave a mark in the world?"
Li Changshou smiled and said, "Then let me ask you. Are you working hard to become stronger because you want to be famous and admired by others?"
"Master said that cultivation is to seek the truth, the Dao, and myself. It's to understand the meaning of living beings …"
"I'm asking you, not what Senior Brother Taiyi taught you."
Li Changshou said warmly, "Why are you cultivating?
When you are eager to welcome the Gold God Tribulation and enter the Gold God realm, what do you desire the most? "
Ling Zhuzi frowned.
Li Changshou was not in a hurry. He continued to wait with a gentle smile on his lips. The cloud slowly floated across the blue sky.
A moment later, Ling Zhuzi whispered,
"I … Um … I don't know."
"Hahahaha."
Li Changshou laughed heartily. He flicked his horsetail whisk and hit Ling Zhuzi's forehead gently.
"This is the crux of your mental state!
You don't even know why you want to live forever and seek the Great Dao. You simply feel that it's good and right, so you embark on the path of cultivation.
When your cultivation is in trouble, your good friends around you have successfully broken through. You will feel disappointed.
Ling Zhuzi, you are actually not trapped because you cannot break through, nor are you disappointed because you are not as good as your good friends beside you. You are just worried that you are not strong enough and powerful enough. You can still obtain the recognition of others.
This brings us to another question. What are you living for … "
On the cloud, Li Changshou slowly analyzed and guided Ling Zhuzi out of his predicament.
In the Golden Light Cave on Qianyuan Mountain.
Perfected Taiyi sighed. He stood up and paced back and forth at the side. With a wave of his hand, he took a piece of red cloth and wrote a banner.
He wrote:
"The teacher of the lost youth, the Enlightenment of the Long Night."
"How is it?"
Perfected Taiyi praised. "Junior Brother Changgeng's ability to persuade others is balanced with I's mystical abilities. How good would that be?"
Perfected Yu Ding shook his head and chuckled. He continued to stare at the image in the cloud mirror and thought about everything Li Changshou had said to Ling Zhuzi.
When Li Changshou said,
"… Because you can only take care of others if you become stronger first.
It's just like a few mortals walking and one of them falls into the water and calls for help. You can only go into the water to save him if you are good at swimming. Otherwise, you will only sacrifice yourself for nothing.
When formulating your own ideals and creeds, you have to pay attention.
Be willing to help others, but do what you can. Be kind to others, but you cannot take everything on.
You don't have to blame yourself for the predicament that others did not cause, but you can protect some weak people who are in trouble when you can.
You have to remember that obtaining the approval of others and obtaining mental satisfaction is actually just a way to please yourself. "
Ling Zhuzi asked, "According to Uncle-Master, do the weak not have the right to help other weak people?"
"That's another question. What are the strong and what are the weak?"
Ling Zhuzi answered, "In the Primordial World, mystical abilities and Dharma treasures are naturally used to determine the strong and the weak."
"This is the most unreasonable part of the Primordial World."
Li Changshou looked up at the sky. His gaze was calm.
His gaze was calm. He asked slowly, "If there is a living being who has reached the peak of the power of living beings, but he relies on his Dharma powers to bully the weak, bully mortals, squeeze their psyche power, and covet their reputation, is that an expert?"
Ling Zhuzi could not answer.
Li Changshou asked again,
"There is another living being. Although it is only half-intelligent and eats raw meat and blood, in order to survive and protect the few clansmen in its cave, it dares to fight wild beasts that are stronger than it. Is that a weak person?"
"Well …"
"A true expert is self-improvement, self-reliance, and self-discipline. The flames in his heart are never extinguished. He is not afraid of difficulties. He does not do good because it is small, and he does not do evil because it is small.
He could reach a higher position in the world and have the strength to protect the weak. He would use his own strength to draw a boundary for other living beings with profound Dharma powers that they would not dare to bully the weak.
That is an expert.
Ling Zhuzi, Uncle-Master hopes that you can become a true expert in the future. "
Li Changshou paused and rubbed Ling Zhuzi's head.
He smiled and said, "Senior Brother Taiyi has already thought of a solution for your cultivation problem. Later, he will send you to rebuild your foundation and help you ascend to the heavens.
However, what you need to be stronger is the Dao heart, not the Dao realm.
The end of cultivation is just cultivation of the heart.
At the end of the Dao, it is all about virtue.
This is the true meaning of Taiqing. I hope you can comprehend it yourself. "
Ling Zhuzi stood up and bowed deeply to Li Changshou.
Li Changshou accepted it calmly and instructed him to bid farewell to his friends in the Celestial Court. He also explained the process that he had to go through in detail and set a date to help him reincarnate and rebuild his foundation.
Three months later.
When Ling Zhuzi stood up, Li Changshou was nowhere to be seen.
The Central Heavenly Gate was in sight. Ling Zhuzi kowtowed a few times to the Heaven Gate and stood up on the cloud. He was a little absent-minded as he digested Li Changshou's words.
"Expert …"
Ling Zhuzi muttered softly, his eyes filled with thought.
In the Golden Light Cave of the Qianyuan Mountain, the three Perfected Ones were deep in thought. Perfected Yu Ding even had some enlightenment and fell into a state of Dao enlightenment.
The end of cultivation is just to cultivate the heart. The end of cultivation is morality.
Perfected Taiyi thought of something. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly and he sighed in his heart.
The two disciples of the Taiqing Uncle-Master …
Dao realm monsters.
On the Xiao Qiong Mount, Li Changshou opened his eyes and took a deep breath.
He hoped that his dignified words could help Ling Zhuzi.
The definition of the strong and the weak was actually a little narrow. However, Li Changshou did not dare to casually spread the spirit of sacrificing himself in the Primordial World.
Compared to the mortals in the mortal world, the immortals who pursued cultivation and transcendence were rather simple.
If he dared to say it, Ling Zhuzi would dare to believe it!
It's really troublesome to arrange for a little disciple-nephew …
Yes, I can use the matter of helping Ling Zhuzi refine his Dharma powers to stay on the Three-Immortal Island for a while.
"I wonder how Brother Gongming is doing in comprehending the Cosmic Ruler."
After stretching, Li Changshou stood up from the rocking chair and changed into an indigo robe. He tied up his Dao hoop and disguised his face. He quietly left the Xiao Qiong Mount.
Before he left, Li Changshou thought about it carefully and asked his teacher to bestow him with the Floating Flame Flag to protect Ling 'e.
There was no choice. Although Ling 'e had become the Dao Ancestor's favorite child on the surface and no one would dare to plot against her in the Primordial World in the future, to be safe, he still had to protect himself.
Why don't I bring her out for a stroll?
Li Changshou pondered for a while.
Previously, he had always been unwilling to let Ling 'e get involved in the God-Conferment matter. He felt that it was too dangerous for her.
That was a calamity that she could perfectly avoid. Once she was involved, it would be an undeserved calamity.
However, the Dao Ancestor had previously performed the act of a grandfather taking care of his granddaughter. It had already caused Ling 'e to have a weak connection with the Great God-Conferment Tribulation. She could not escape.
Li Changshou naturally knew that Ling 'e was one with him. If he hid Ling' e, it would be better to bring her out for a stroll.
That would dispel the Dao Ancestor's suspicions about him.
Then let the Jade Emperor wait a little longer.
Fortunately, he had not mentioned to the Jade Emperor about going out. Otherwise, the person in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall would probably not be able to hold it in.
Hence, Li Changshou lay back down and his mind moved back and forth between the world.
As soon as he thought about it, his mind was already outside the world.
His heart was stirred and he ran to play two rounds with Bai Ze.
In this day and age, when the footsteps of the Great Tribulation were getting faster and faster, he really took a break.
Hence, another three months passed.
…
"Spiritual Pearl, this method is feasible, but there are some drawbacks.
After you transform into a fetus spirit, you will not be able to retain your memories. You need to make another pearl with your memories and Dharma powers. When your essence soul stabilizes after reincarnation, I will return this memory to you. "
"Moreover, there will definitely be other risks here. Perhaps something will go wrong. Overall, there is only an 85% chance that you can safely rebuild your foundation."
"However, there will be no danger to your life."
Beside the Heavenly River, Ling Zhuzi was in a daze as he thought about what Uncle-Master Changgeng had said previously.
Not far behind him, Ao Yi, who had specially rushed over from the Dragon Palace to send him off, and Bian Zhuang, who was grounded and could not leave the vicinity of the Heavenly River, were sighing.
Bian Zhuang wiped the corners of his eyes and forced a smile. He said in a low voice, "Third Brother, don't worry. You can slowly recover your memories after reincarnation. You're still you. Nothing has changed."
After saying that, Bian Zhuang secretly kicked Ao Yi, who was a little distracted and staring at the fire.
Ao Yi understood and smiled. "This fellow is right. It's a good thing to transform your transformed body into a true Connate Dao Body of the human race."
"Yes, I know."
Ling Zhuzi turned around with a relaxed expression. He smiled and said, "Brothers, thank you for taking care of me all these years.
No matter what, Ling Zhuzi will still be Ling Zhuzi. Even if I lose some of my memories, I'm still your sworn brother! "
"Look at what you're saying." Bian Zhuang wiped his tears and turned his head to mutter, "You're making me sad."
"Come, let's drink."
Ao Yi took out three jars of the Dragon Palace's special songs from his sleeve and threw one jar to each of them. The three of them looked at each other and smiled. They opened the wine jars and raised their heads to drink.
Soon, there were three sounds.
"Ha …"
"Ah." Ao Yi smiled and sighed. "A good man should have the ambition to rule the heavens. I wonder what will happen when the three of us reunite in the Celestial Court in the future."
Bian Zhuang said, "Didn't you say that it will only take a hundred years to reincarnate?
A hundred years will pass in the blink of an eye. "
Ling Zhuzi smiled and said, "With Aunt-Master's help, nothing will go wrong. Brothers, don't worry."
"Third Brother, are you really not going to the Moon Palace to bid farewell?"
Ao Yi asked softly, "A fairy from the Moon Palace previously said that Jade Rabbit's eyes were swollen from crying. However, she was grounded by the Moon Lord and could not come to bid farewell to you …"
"This …" Ling Zhuzi scratched his head. "I don't know either …"
Suddenly, he felt the Dao runes in his heart circulate. He heard the shadow of the Yin-Yang Taiji Painting and found the aura of his Uncle-Master Geng. It condensed into a huge word in his Dao heart.
"Go."
"Alright." Ling Zhuzi heaved a sigh of relief and said softly, "I'll go see Jade Rabbit and bid farewell to her."
Ao Yi and Bian Zhuang's eyes lit up and they were amazed.
An ordinary minister of the Celestial Court, who was trying to transmit Dao runes for the first time, smiled faintly.
Um …
It was indeed quite satisfying.
Hence, four hours later.
Ao Yi transformed into an azure dragon and carried Ling Zhuzi to the front of the Glacial Palace.
In front of the Glacial Palace, hundreds of Chang 'e were scattered on the leaves of the laurel tree that looked like an immortal island. They waited for the situation there.
A few female immortals picked up the bronze mirror. The Celestial Court knew what had happened there.
Ling Zhuzi jumped off the back of the azure dragon and thanked Ao Yi with cupped hands. Then, he quickly walked to the door of the Glacial Palace.
A green and white Daoist robe covered his strong muscles. The hairband that he had specially changed made his face even more delicate and handsome.
The beautiful eyes of many fairies lit up.
Ling Zhuzi arrived at the steps of the palace gate and took a step forward. His movements were a little slow.
Behind him, Bian Zhuang, who was hiding in Ao Yi's mane, shouted softly,
"Don't hesitate. Go! It's over! "
Ling Zhuzi pursed his lips and stomped his feet. He jumped in front of the palace gate and knocked on the door.
He shouted softly, "Are there any immortals here?"
Most of the hundreds of Chang 'e covered their mouths and chuckled.
In the Glacial Palace, on the pavilion beside the pool that Li Changshou had brought Ling Zhuzi to, Yu Tu was kneeling on the soft cushion. When she heard the small shout, her shoulders trembled and she immediately jumped up.
"Master, Ling Zhuzi is here!"
"Sit down."
Fairy Heng 'e, who was at the side, said slowly, "Have you forgotten what I told you previously?"
"But, but, oh."
Yu Tu pursed her lips and knelt back to her original position aggrievedly.
"You're just too stupid."
Heng 'e chewed on melon seeds. Under her thin dress, she crossed her slender legs and sighed. "This Ling Zhuzi is a pearl that doesn't understand. You're also a timid little rabbit.
Do you want to be his good brother forever? "
"Um … This … Master, we had a lot of fun."
Heng 'e said, "Think about it. If Ling Zhuzi reincarnated this time and remolded himself, and had feelings for the Butterfly Fairy or the Hundred Flowers Fairy, what would you think if he were to be enlightened and possessed by someone?
Either you settle this matter this time and give it to him.
Or you break off the relationship this time so that you won't suffer in the future. "
Yu Tu was stunned. She knelt there and pondered for a while. Tears welled up in her eyes.
At that moment, he suddenly heard Ling Zhuzi shouting at the top of his lungs outside the Glacial Palace.
"Jade Rabbit! Are you inside!?! I'm here to bid farewell to you!
I'm going to cultivate again. I'll only be back in a hundred years! I still have to reincarnate. I don't know if I'll still be the current Ling Zhuzi in the future!
I! I … I don't know what I want to say.
I want to become stronger and become a true expert!
I want to protect the weak and draw a boundary for the reckless living beings!
I want to be recognized by all living beings!
Thank you for your care all these years!
I was very happy during my days in the Heavenly Court, very happy!
I will definitely keep our memories. I will bring them to become stronger! I will definitely … "
Ling Zhuzi's voice choked. He was stunned to feel his own state of mind. He used his arm to wipe away the tears on his face.
The door of the Glacial Palace was tightly closed. The light of the array formation flowed quietly.
Ling Zhuzi took a deep breath and forced himself to smile. He bowed to the door and turned around to jump back onto the azure dragon's back.
"Brother, let's go back. We'll say goodbye."
Bian Zhuang said, "Let's wait a little longer …"
"Let's go."
Ling Zhuzi lowered his head and said, "She must be angry with me."
The azure dragon's body swayed slowly as it slowly swam under the laurel tree. In the blink of an eye, it was about to fly out of the range of the moon.
"Ao Yi! Ao Yi, stop! "Bian Zhuang suddenly shouted," It's out! Jade Rabbit is out! "
"Ling Zhuzi …"
In front of the Glacial Palace, the young girl who had forgotten to wear a rabbit ear accessory shouted, "I won't forget you! Us! We'll be good brothers for life! "
Ling Zhuzi turned around and raised his left fist at the Glacial Palace.
The young girl held back her tears and waved her fist gently at Ling Zhuzi …
In the Hall of Marriage, one of Li Changshou's paper effigies carried a horsetail whisk and rode a white cloud over calmly. He had a friendly conversation with the Moon God …
Work Guidance Meeting.
