After receiving the news that his master's soul had awakened, Li Changshou waited for another sixteen years.
In the past sixteen years, Li Changshou had been forcing himself to be busy with the affairs of the Celestial Court and the small arrangements before the Great Tribulation.
In fact, in the past sixteen years, the number of times Li Changshou had appeared in the Lingxiao Hall had exceeded the total number of times in the previous 320 years!
That made the Jade Emperor think that the Celestial Court would encounter some crisis later.
It also made Mu Gong feel uneasy. He was afraid that Taibai Jinxing would do all the trivial things that he could do in his daily life. He would become a retired judge of the Celestial Court.
Quan Dong found an opportunity to have a heart-to-heart talk with Li Changshou and advised him not to be too hardworking. The immortals working below were under a lot of pressure.
Li Changshou only smiled bitterly and fell silent for a while.
Silence was the barbecue tonight.
However, Li Changshou could not ignore the leader who was concerned about his subordinate.
He sorted out his thoughts and smiled bitterly. He said slowly, "Actually, I'm a little pretentious."
"Pretentious?"
Quan Dong smiled and said, "If the demons who were buried in your hands heard that, they would really jump out of their coffins and settle scores with you.
What is it? "
"My master, Qi Yuan."
Li Changshou downed the wine in his cup and continued to flip the skewers in his hand.
Only the simple charcoal fire of the mortal world could produce a different kind of dusty fragrance.
Li Changshou said, "Previously, the Lady of Earth ordered someone to send news that Master's remnant soul has completely recovered in the Six Paths of Reincarnation."
"That's a good thing." Quan Dong smiled and said, "You used so much merit previously and even killed the little prince of the demon race, Lu Ya, who was chosen by the Heavenly Dao to add fuel to the fire in the calamity. In the end, fortunately, Saint Nuwa took action and gathered Fellow Daoist Qi Yuan's soul.
Now that your master's soul has awakened, it's a good thing. Why are you still frowning? "
Li Changshou pondered for a while and looked at Quan Dong beside him. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty should know."
"Oh?" Quan Dong blinked and pinched his fingers to deduce openly. He had completely forgotten that the calamity should have blinded the heavenly secrets and the Heavenly Dao did not allow him to deduce.
Celestial Emperors and whatnot were not freaks with special privileges.
"Isn't that good?"
Quan Dong muttered, "The Heavenly Dao has appeared. After your master reincarnates, he will still be an important figure in this Great Tribulation.
Chang Geng, are you worried that your master will become a means for the Heavenly Dao to suppress you?
Actually, sometimes, you think that the Heavenly Dao is too biased toward one living being.
The so-called Heavenly Dao was the convergence of the Grand Daos and the manifestation of the Laws, and its sole purpose was the stability of the world.
Chang Geng, you're mistaken. "
Li Changshou stood up and bowed. He smiled and said, "Thank you for reminding me, Your Majesty."
Quan Dong smiled and squinted.
"However, I'm worried about something else." Li Changshou sighed and said, "Once I leave, Master will be reincarnated."
Quan Dong blinked and was a little confused.
"Previously, the Goddess said that after Master reincarnates, he will no longer have anything to do with me. That is the condition for her to save Master.
Since I promised the Goddess, I will not go back on my word. After Master reincarnates, he will have nothing to do with me.
The only thing I can return to Master is this chance to reincarnate.
In the past sixteen years, every time I thought about how I could not be filial to my parents and could only watch Master leave, I felt a little upset.
Ah … "
Li Changshou sighed softly.
Quan Dong thought about it carefully and picked up the wine jar at the side. He handed it to Li Changshou. "It's all in the wine! Today, let's drink to our heart's content and forget about the many troubles in the Three Realms! "
Li Changshou smiled and took the wine jar. He clinked it with Quan Dong and the two incarnations drank until they were drunk.
The paper effigy was wet!
Three months later, Li Changshou could not delay any longer.
His master was going to reincarnate eventually. It was not a big deal to keep soaking in the treasure pool.
To his master, that was indeed a good thing. He could not delay his master's beautiful future because of his guilt.
He had made all the arrangements.
Sensing that Ling 'e was about to come out of seclusion, Li Changshou set the date to go to the Six Paths of Reincarnation as the day Ling' e came out of seclusion.
He asked Ling 'e to send his master off for the last time.
On that day, the Dao runes around Ling 'e returned to calmness. She only stayed in the afterglow of her Dao enlightenment.
Li Changshou took the initiative to wake her up from her seclusion and instructed her to change into a simpler dress. They would go out together later.
A simpler dress?
Ling 'e, who was still a little confused, tilted her head and understood something.
Senior Brother was probably going to bring her to visit some almighty experts and officially bring her into the circle of Senior Brother!
Indeed, after becoming the Gold God, Senior Brother's attitude towards me immediately changed drastically.
The thousand-year plan of sleeping with his brother had finally ushered in hope!
Thinking about that, Ling 'e blinked and suddenly raised her hand to cover her face. She turned around and hugged the thin blanket and rolled on the bed.
Li Changshou, who was outside the door, was speechless.
This little Gold God is really not stable.
However, Li Changshou did not expect that the most unstable person today would be …
The Jade Emperor.
Two hours later, Ling 'e finally finished dressing up.
She changed into a white dress with blue flowers and combed her long hair. She wore the jade hairpin that Yun Xiao had given her back then and carried a flower basket that her senior brother had refined.
Ling 'e even "schemed" to tie a cloud ribbon on her wrist. Even when she was standing still, the ribbon would still flutter with a little light, so that she would not be subconsciously ignored.
Naturally, Ling 'e's worries were completely ridiculous.
After entering the Gold God realm, his junior sister, who was already considered beautiful and intelligent, had a qualitative leap.
Her eyes were bright and moving, and there was a hint of charm at the corners of her eyes. The distance between the tip of her small nose and her upper lip seemed to have been painstakingly sculpted by Goddess Nuwa. She was so beautiful that there was no deviation.
Her figure was even more slender. Although her waist was not exaggerated to the point that it could not be held, it was like a thin willow duckweed.
When she flew out of the secret underground chamber and dispersed the "Smoke Escape Technique", she appeared in front of Li Changshou. Li Changshou was a little surprised.
"Let's go."
Li Changshou said warmly. He pointed out a white cloud and left half of it for Ling 'e.
Ling 'e jumped up and agreed obediently. She subconsciously stood at the edge of the white cloud.
Then, she asked softly, "Senior Brother, our three rules … are still …"
"Come over." Li Changshou raised his left hand slightly. Ling 'e pursed her lips and chuckled. She hugged her senior brother's arm happily.
The white cloud flew out of the Xiao Qiong Mount and out of the Grand White Palace, heading towards the East Heavenly Gate.
In order not to be suspected of his character when he brought Ling 'e out, Li Changshou deliberately did not use the image of an old immortal. Instead, he maintained the appearance of a young Daoist.
Ling 'e did not ask what her senior brother wanted to bring her to do. At that moment, she was immersed in the happiness of her senior brother's agreement. She only squinted and chuckled from time to time.
Well, I was still subdued by her!
Just as the two of them were about to leave the East Heavenly Gate, a distant shout sounded from behind them. It was the Golden Roc spreading its wings and flying over.
"Teacher!"
Li Changshou stopped the cloud and gestured for Ling 'e, who was about to hang on his arm, to stand obediently. He turned around and waited for the Golden Roc to arrive.
"What's wrong? Aren't you leading the troops in the trichiliocosm? Why did you suddenly return? "
"Teacher." The Golden Roc cupped his fists and said, "The Jade Emperor issued a decree and just called me back. He said that Teacher has been in a bad mood recently and asked me to accompany him more."
Li Changshou chuckled and bowed in the direction of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall. He smiled and said, "I've troubled Your Majesty. That's good. With you around, I can go to the Netherworld faster."
However, the Golden Roc said, "Teacher, the Jade Emperor ordered the imperial horse to prepare a carriage a few months ago. He said that he was waiting for you to go out …"
As soon as he finished speaking, the horse neighed in the sky. A stream of light "slowly" flew towards that place.
The corners of Li Changshou's mouth twitched slightly, but he did not reject the Jade Emperor's good intentions. When the carriage arrived, he brought Ling 'e to sit on the "convertible" carriage.
There were eight mutated golden flood dragons pulling the carriage in front of it. Three hundred elite Heavenly Soldiers riding on Heavenly Horses were guarding the side. There were also six thousand Heavenly Soldiers waiting outside the East Heavenly Gate to protect Lord Taibai Jinxing.
Drums and horns sounded.
Heavenly might and military might.
A large number of people rushed to the Netherworld in a mighty manner, attracting the gazes of the people inside and outside the Celestial Court and the East Continent of the East Ocean.
Li Changshou's heart felt better because of that. He was no longer as depressed as before.
Three days later, the Celestial Court finally arrived at the Netherworld.
Fengdu City was decorated with lanterns and banners. The vengeful spirits and malicious ghosts everywhere were temporarily detained or chased away, making the largest city in the Netherworld … very bright.
The two marshals, Ox-head and Horse-face, had long left the pass to welcome them. They bowed outside the carriage and protected them.
Many experts of the Magi of the Netherworld lined up on the way to welcome them.
The ten Yama Lords had also arrived in front of the city gate in advance. After Li Changshou got off the carriage, they laughed loudly and asked about his well-being and exchanged pleasantries.
That could be considered the current "ecology" of the Celestial Court.
Li Changshou ordered the Golden Roc and the troops of the Celestial Court to wait outside the city. They did not want to disturb the ghosts in the city. He also asked Ling 'e to bow to the ten Yama Lords and address them as seniors.
The Yama Lords were experts in judging cases and investigating ghosts. They were not weak at fighting and scolding. They were also good at hunting demons. However, when they praised the beautiful fairy, they kept saying the same thing.
"Ah, Fairy Ling 'e, it's been many years since I last saw you. You've become more beautiful!"
"How handsome!"
"A match made in heaven, a match made in heaven."
"Give birth to a child soon. Hahahaha!"
Ling 'e's face was flushed red. She hid behind Li Changshou and did not dare to reveal her head. Li Changshou smiled and agreed.
With his skin, it was impossible for him to turn red from such low-level teasing.
He entered Fengdu City and took the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Lord Taibai Jinxing, accompanied by the ten Yama Lords, inspected the sanitation of the streets of Fengdu City. He asked about the efficiency of dealing with vengeful souls and pointed out that the eighteen levels of hell had to be sealed at all times to prevent ghosts from causing trouble in the mortal world.
When Li Changshou and Ling 'e entered the Reincarnation Disc, the ten Yama Lords looked at each other and smiled. Only King Qinguang and King Chujiang waited there. The other eight rushed back to their respective Yama Halls to get busy.
However, just as the eight Yama Lords left, King Qinguang frowned and seemed to have sensed something.
He turned around from the Reincarnation Immortal Island and his eyes shone with black light. He looked in the direction of the city gate of Fengdu City and was shocked.
There was a general of the Celestial Court in armor walking over slowly. He sized up the low buildings in Fengdu City with a faint smile.
"Jade, Jade Emperor?"
King Qinguang cried out.
King Chujiang, who was pinching his waist and picking his ears, smiled and said, "Brother, what are you talking about? What Jade Emperor? What's the Jade Emperor? "
"Bastard!"
Pa! Pfft! Sizzle …
King Qinguang raised his hand and slapped King Chujiang. He happened to hit King Chujiang's raised elbow. That finger immediately pierced into his skull and spat out black blood of the Magi.
King Qinguang lowered his voice and cursed, "That's the incarnation of the Jade Emperor!"
King Chujiang blinked and stuffed his ear with a handkerchief. He glared at the young general on the streets of Fengdu City and could not help but burp.
Injury?
A mere skull was not a vital point.
"Quick! I'll invite the Jade Emperor to rush to the Yama Hall. Hurry up and gather the brothers. Call the Judge Ghost Generals over! "
King Qinguang hurriedly ordered. King Chujiang agreed and turned around to run.
Not long after, there was some commotion in Fengdu City, and a tense atmosphere filled the air.
At the same time, in the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc.
…
Knowing that she was going to the Netherworld this time, Ling'e immediately understood the reason why her senior brother told her to wear a plain dress.
Pay respects to her master.
Therefore, when she followed her senior brother into the small world in the Reincarnation Disc and flew to the treasure pool in the corner, Ling'e had already taken out the five-piece set of worship without needing her senior brother's instructions.
Fruits, wine, meat, candlesticks, incense burners, copper basins for burning paper, a few paper dolls made of little fairies, and a handkerchief.
Before Li Changshou could speak, Ling'e had already prepared her emotions. She wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and said miserably,
"Master, you died so miserably …"
Li Changshou was speechless.
"Ahem!"
A dry cough sounded from the Treasure Pool.
Ling'e was stunned. In the blink of an eye, she saw an image of Lao Dao slowly "grow" out of the Treasure Pool. He was smiling kindly at her.
"Sigh, your crying makes me feel awkward."
"Master!"
Ling'e cheered and stood up to jump up. However, she realized that there were other remnant souls in the Treasure Pool that were being repaired. She hurriedly stopped and tears welled up in her eyes.
"You're alive again."
"Why?" Qiyuan Laodao pretended to be angry. "Did I delay you and your senior brother by coming back to life?"
"No, no. Aiya … I'm happy."
Ling'e lowered her head and bowed. She said softly, "Greetings, Master!"
Li Changshou also bowed deeply and smiled. "Greetings, Master."
"Ah, okay, okay."
Qiyuan Laodao raised his hand and his soul flew out of the treasure pool. His body was surrounded by immortal light, which contained a lot of merit.
He said, "It was all thanks to your Senior Martial Brother that my remnant soul could be reunited.
To be honest, I'm ashamed, ashamed.
I wasn't able to teach the two of you much. Instead, I made Changshou put in a lot of effort to protect his life and gather his soul. "
Li Changshou said in a low voice, "If Master hadn't given me my first foothold, I would have become a pile of bones, buried in the wilderness."
Ling 'e tried to hold her master's arm, but she found that she was blocked by the immortal light surrounding her master.
Upon seeing this, Li Changshou's expression became a little gloomy, but he pulled himself together and thought about how to make his master laugh a few more times before going to reincarnate.
Qi Yuan smiled.
"Previously, the Lady of Earth had told me that after you came, I would reincarnate.
Changshou, Ling 'e, accompany me around. I have many things to say to you, but I don't know where to start. "
Li Changshou agreed softly and followed behind Qiyuan Laodao.
Ling 'e pursed her lips and lowered her head to wipe her tears. Then, she leaned forward with a smile.
"Hehehe! Master, guess what your second disciple's Dao level is now. "
Qiyuan Laodao smiled and said, "What other Dao level can this be? It's impossible for him to become a Gold God in such a short period of time, right? "
"Look!"
Ling 'e placed her hands on her waist and revealed her Dao runes. She chuckled smugly.
Qiyuan Laodao could not help but smile amiably.
His second disciple's Dao realm was too high. He … could not comprehend the specifics.
Qiyuan Laodao smiled and said, "I don't know what I'm capable of.
"I don't know what I've done to deserve this. I've accomplished nothing in my life, but I've taken in an extraordinary disciple.
Changshou, the Lady of Earth had previously mentioned that you are now a second-stage legitimate god of the Celestial Court, Lord Taibai Jinxing, ranked in the top ten of the Heavenly Dao sequence …
I actually don't know much about that, but I know that you are very capable. I'm quite proud.
However, Changshou, there's something you have to remember. "
"Master, go ahead." Li Changshou lowered his head and replied.
Qi Yuan had a serious expression on his face as he said slowly,
"I know that you're not timid. You're just afraid of death.
That's normal for living beings. It's just that you keep talking about it every day.
I'm just a small Turbid Immortal in the world. I don't have much vision or knowledge. However, you were ultimately raised by me. I still have a responsibility as a master to you. I have to say those words.
At your current position, you can't just think about yourself.
You are an important immortal of the Celestial Court. You control the life and death of countless living beings. You seem to be the main person of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation.
You have to think about how to do something for the living beings of the world and the Three Realms.
You don't have to seek fame. You might encounter some misunderstandings, but you just have to have a clear conscience. You have to be worthy of your current position and authority. "
"Yes, I'll remember."
Li Changshou smiled and agreed.
Ling 'e whispered, "Master, most of the current order in the Celestial Court was planned and personally brought up by Senior Brother. Senior Brother has already done a lot for the common people."
"Really?" Qi Yuan's eyes lit up as he looked at the young man in front of him.
Li Changshou nodded with a smile and said softly, "Anyway, it won't affect my safety. I'll just take advantage of the situation."
"That's good. Ah, that's good."
Qiyuan Laodao smiled in satisfaction. He placed his hands behind his back and continued walking forward. After taking a few steps, he asked, "Is Junior Sister Yushi … well?"
"Aunt-Master Yushi stayed at the Duxian Gate to cultivate," Li Changshou said. "I once invited her to the Celestial Court, but she was a little unwilling.
Master, don't worry. The Duxian Gate is now protected by the Heavenly Soldiers. There won't be any danger. "
"That's good." Qi Yuan smiled and said, "I've let your Aunt-Master down in this life. I originally thought that I could find her reincarnation, but I didn't expect …
Although the flower blooms again, it does not have the same petal. This is probably the principle of reincarnation. "
Li Changshou sighed. Just as he was about to speak, Qi Yuan continued, "After I reincarnated, I no longer have any karma with my previous life.
Cultivate well. Since you know that I've already reincarnated, you don't have to worry about me. You don't have to come to see me, and you don't have to trouble yourself to guide me to cultivate.
Changshou, you've already done too much for me. In the end, I don't want to be taken care of by my disciple like that. "
Ling'E's eyes turned red. She pouted and called out, "Master …"
"Silly child, why are you crying? It's already a great blessing for me to be able to reincarnate. This is a good thing."
Qi Yuan took the initiative to reach out, but he could not hold Ling'E's fingers. Ling'E hurriedly raised her hand and followed her master's palm.
Lao Dao placed Ling'E's small hand in Li Changshou's palm and patted it gently.
"Changshou, your junior sister has been deeply in love with you since she was young. You've taught her so much because you want her to be by your side for a long time.
I know that you have a Dao companion relationship with a mighty figure like Fairy Yun Xiao. However, remember not to neglect and let Ling'E down.
This is my last request to you. "
"Master …"
Li Changshou moved his lips and wanted to speak, but his voice was choked. He could only hold Ling'E's slender hand tightly.
Qi Yuan heaved a sigh of relief and patted the back of Li Changshou's hand.
"I'm leaving.
Wait here. Don't watch me enter the Reincarnation Disc. Don't be sad and don't worry.
It's difficult for us Qi Refinement cultivators to transcend. Why is it difficult to be carefree? "
After saying that, Qiyuan Laodao waved his hand and turned around. He slowly walked towards the fog not far away and chanted softly.
"Turbid Immortal Fruit in the vast world. Don't worry about being mediocre for a thousand years.
If your Dao heart does not change your ambition to live forever, you will be able to walk the end of your soul. "
A wisp of golden light shone down and moved Lao Dao's soul outside the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Li Changshou suddenly broke down. He raised his head and took a deep breath, but his aura kept trembling. Tears flickered at the corners of his eyes and were quickly evaporated by him.
He was an expert of Ren School, the authoritative god of the Celestial Court, and the tenth in the Heavenly Dao!
Li Changshou slowly knelt down and prostrated himself in the direction where the old Daoist priest had left.
"Little fellow, do you want to learn immortal techniques from I? You can live forever and roam the world. "
