Li Changshou had always loved and hated the black leopard.
On the one hand, the black leopard could help him increase the success rate of his schemes, although it was very metaphysical.
On the other hand, Li Changshou was worried that he would be cursed by the black leopard.
That would be really unlucky.
However, Li Changshou decided to officially get to know the black leopard this time.
The timing was perfect. It was stuck before the black leopard became a disciple of the Jade Void Palace.
Therefore, when the black leopard rode a cloud and rushed to the gathering place of the demons in the East Continent, a paper effigy was fully prepared. It transformed into the appearance of a middle-aged Daoist and prepared for a "beautiful encounter" on the road ahead.
However, what Li Changshou did not expect was …
"Ah, let's go back to the island and take a look first."
The black leopard muttered softly hundreds of kilometers away from where Li Changshou's paper effigy was hiding. He turned around and headed towards the sea.
Li Changshou was just short of saying, "Fellow Daoist, please wait".
After pondering for a while, Li Changshou summoned Ao Yi, who had just returned to the East Ocean. He asked Ao Yi to bring his wife, Jiang Si 'er, back to Golden Ao Island.
Li Changshou's paper effigy was in Ao Yi's sleeve, secretly observing the black leopard's every move.
This black leopard …
The atmosphere on Golden Ao Island was already a little out of place.
He was originally the Yuan Ze Lao Dao of Golden Ao Island. When he reincarnated, he received the care of the Netherworld. Meng Po shook the soup ladle and had a chance to recover his memories of his previous life.
However, at that moment, he called himself Yuan Ze and had fewer topics to talk about with his original friends. Even if he forced a conversation, he would quickly fall into a state of speechlessness.
The atmosphere in Jie School had always been good.
When the Daoists heard that the black leopard wanted to stay on the island to cultivate, they immediately arranged for a Cave Abode and persuaded him to stay on the island. They were all family.
Black Leopard was quite moved, but he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Li Changshou could understand this feeling. After reincarnating, everything had changed. He was no longer his original self. It was almost impossible for him to integrate into his original circle.
The black leopard was like that.
Jiu Yushi, who had already been nurtured by him as the Sect Leader of the Duxian Gate, was the same.
Then, if he had the chance to return to his hometown …
Li Changshou felt an inexplicable sense of desolation in his heart. He actually had a little empathy with the black leopard.
A terrifying envoy of the Great Tribulation.
Li Changshou sighed in his heart. He swept away all his thoughts and did not give the Heavenly Dao a chance to take advantage of him.
Black Panther lived on the island for more than a year and finally left without saying goodbye on a beautiful moonlit night.
When he left, the Daoist's back looked rather lonely.
Although the world was vast, there was no place to rest.
The path of cultivation was silent and desolate in the end.
When the black leopard left, although a few old friends discovered it, they only sighed softly and did not stop him.
This time, the paper effigy that Li Changshou had been waiting for for a long time could finally be used.
After calculating the black leopard's path, Li Changshou's paper effigy chose the path ahead and made some preparations. He muttered in his heart, wondering if the Heavenly Dao would cause trouble again.
The most important part of the thousand-year plan of "The Disappearance of X" was to arrange for all the children of the Great Tribulation in the Great God-Conferment Tribulation.
There was no need to mention his old master's reincarnation, Jiang Shang. All the arrangements had been made.
The King of Shang, Di Xin, had just made arrangements.
The vixen, Xiao Lan, was a little more complicated. She would still work for Goddess Nuwa in the future. Li Changshou would make arrangements in advance, but he would not force Xiao Lan to do anything.
Wen Zhong had already been affected by him. At that moment, he was thinking about how to become a "Young Master" and take the path of a Grand Tutor.
Moreover, in the original God-Conferment Story, there were seven "Physical Body Saints". They were also Li Jing, Jinzha, Muzha, Nezha, Yang Jian, Wei Hu, and Lei Zhenzi. They were all important figures that he had to arrange.
The logic that Li Changshou was following was very complicated. Simply put, he had to participate in all the variables of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation.
He had to participate in all the variables of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation.
Even if many things were personally guided by him, he had to personally arrange them.
Everything was for the sake of escaping unscathed in the first half of the journey.
From that logic, after careful deduction, there were really many things that he had to worry about in the entire God-Conferment Tribulation.
"Ah …"
Thinking about that, Li Changshou's paper effigy let out a long sigh. He held the wine bottle and stood at the edge of the pavilion in the mountain.
He chanted loudly, "The saddest thing in life is not to walk alone. It's hard for friends to exist alone.
Don't say that there are few close friends on the road ahead. There are no old friends out of this pass. "
The black leopard, who had "coincidentally" flown past on a cloud, could not help but look sorrowful when it heard that. It lowered its head and glanced at the pavilion by the mountain stream. Then, it turned around and took a detour to the side so as not to disturb the unfamiliar fellow Daoist.
Unexpectedly, the black leopard heard another voice.
"Miao Miao, are you alright after you left I?"
The black leopard paused and suddenly turned around, staring at the drunk figure below.
Demons? Yes, there is demonic aura. He seems to be the incarnation of the Tiger King. His strength is on par with mine. He is still one step away from the Golden God.
Miao Miao …
The black leopard was puzzled and felt an inexplicable sense of nervousness. He wondered if that person was his "junior" and rode a cloud towards the pavilion.
"Fellow Daoist, what's wrong?"
It was fake concern.
Li Changshou's paper effigy turned around and looked at the black leopard. There was a hint of emotion in his eyes, but he smiled and said, "It's fine if I don't say it. I've embarrassed myself, Fellow Daoist. I'm reminiscing about my deceased wife."
Deceased wife?
The black leopard was shocked. He took a few steps forward and hurriedly asked, "Did your wife go?"
"Ah." Li Changshou lowered his head and sighed. He walked back to the stone table and poured himself a glass of wine. He raised his head and poured it into his mouth.
The black leopard hurriedly walked forward and said, "Did your wife really go?"
Li Changshou frowned and glared at the black leopard. "Fellow Daoist, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to be so interested in Madam I, right?"
"No, no. I have a good friend named Miao Miao!"
The black leopard said anxiously, "She has been very kind to I. When I was at my lowest, she saved I's life. She also …"
The black leopard swallowed the thought of pledging his life.
After all, in reality, he should be the one who was pledging his life.
"Oh?"
Li Changshou frowned and pondered for a while. He invited the black leopard to take a seat and took out a jade cup from his chest pocket. He took out a jar of good wine that he had obtained in the demon town.
One was a little pure, and his heart was filled with concern for his old friend.
It was a meticulously designed topic that was filled with questions. He knew the black leopard very well.
Soon, the two of them started chatting.
When the black leopard figured out that the "Miao Miao" and "Miao Miao" that the two of them mentioned were not the same demon, he heaved a sigh of relief and sighed.
The fastest way for men to improve their relationship was to get drunk together.
The black leopard quickly became drunk. As he chatted with Li Changshou, he suddenly covered his face and cried.
Li Changshou could not help but sigh.
His Dao heart is already in such a mess, but this fellow can still not have mental demons …
The Great Tribulation Envoy, a chess piece of the Heavenly Dao, was just that different.
The black leopard sobbed, causing those who heard it to be sad and those who saw it to cry. There was even a sense of desolation …
"Fellow Daoist, what's wrong?"
Li Changshou asked warmly and patted the black leopard's shoulder.
The black leopard's Dao heart had already collapsed. He turned around and pressed against Li Changshou's arm.
It was quite sudden.
"I live this life, I live this life! How tragic! "
"Why does the heavens want me to remember the past of my previous life? Otherwise, Miao Miao would not have left me. I even thought that I was extraordinary and felt that I was an immortal of Jie School, not a demon."
"Between the heavens and earth, where should I land? Where, where, ah!"
Uh, didn't I hug a pillar?
How rude!
Ah — even if I can cultivate the Gold God's Dao of Longevity, how lonely will my life be! How lonely! "
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
That was probably the pain of being unable to resist the fate that had been arranged for him. He did not even know that his fate had long been destined.
"Fellow Daoist, we actually have so much in common. Why don't we become good friends?
I have also awakened the memories of my previous life. I have also not merged with the past or the present. "
The black leopard was stunned. "Fellow Daoist, is that true?"
"I am Geng Chang!"
Li Changshou stood up and bowed to the black leopard. "I'm willing to be good friends with you, Fellow Daoist!"
The black leopard hurriedly stood up and returned the greeting.
"I Yuan Ze … Ah, now that things have come to this, it's fine to abandon the Dao name of my previous life!
Everything starts with mental obstacles. Breaking one's heart will lead to a deep Dao. It's extremely difficult to break one's heart.
From today onwards, I and I's Dao names will be Shen Bao!
Fellow Daoist Geng Chang, please accept Shen Bao's bow! "
Li Changshou bowed again. "Congratulations, Fellow Daoist, for walking out of your confusion. From today onwards, you will have a great future!"
"Thank you for relieving your worries, Fellow Daoist. Come, let's continue drinking!"
The two demons looked at each other and laughed. Shen Bao's previous gloominess was swept away. His eyes lit up, and his essence, energy, and spirit returned. He looked like he had turned the tables.
Then, the two demons drank and chatted for sixteen days.
Shen Bao said that he had a mystical ability with his mouth. Li Changshou smiled and asked him to scold him. Shen Bao did as he was told. Of course, it was useless.
Shen Bao could not hide anything in his heart. He said everything in his heart and even lamented the death of the Demon Crown Prince, Senior Lu Ya. He also said that Senior Lu Ya was his lifelong idol.
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Good opportunity.
At that moment, Li Changshou brought the topic to Lu Ya's death. Shen Bao was filled with emotions.
To Li Changshou's surprise, Shen Bao did not attack Taibai Jinxing, Li Changgeng …
"Ah." The black leopard sighed and said, "Senior Lu Ya's death is actually the fate of the demons.
The Heavenly Dao wants to prosper the human race and push the order of the Celestial Court. The orphans of the ancient Demon Court naturally cannot survive.
Taibai Jinxing, Li Changgeng, is actually working for the Heavenly Dao. He has no choice. Although I don't know the details, I understand him.
It must not be easy to work for the Heavenly Dao. "
Li Changshou felt a lump in his throat. He was almost counterattacked by that fellow.
"However, understanding is one thing. Senior Lu Ya has given me a new lease on life. If there's a chance in the future, I will definitely seek justice from Li Changgeng!
Let him!
Go apologize to Senior. "
Why is the second half of the sentence weak?
The effect of this blessing is minimal, brother.
The pair of "brothers" chatted for a long time. Li Changshou said that he was going to the East Continent to seek refuge with his friends and relatives.
Shen Bao wanted to say something but hesitated. He also wanted to ask for an errand, but in the end, he did not say it out loud.
The two of them exchanged communication talismans and agreed to drink and chat the next time they met.
After Li Changshou left on a cloud, Shen Bao sighed. He rode a cloud in another direction and walked to the border between the South Continent and the Middle Continent. He went to the demon area at the border of the Aparagodānīya Continent to try his luck.
It was none other than …
Taibai Jinxing had schemed. Shen Bao's heart sank.
There were opportunities ahead. There were new theories in the battle between Jiang Shen and Shen.
"Brother Geng Chang, what a good Dao."
Shen Bao sighed softly and flew into the sky on a cloud. He restrained his aura and moved forward freely.
…
Getting to know Shen Bao was only the beginning. Since Li Changshou had decided to act, he naturally had to go all out.
His paper effigy carried nine spare paper effigies to the East Ocean and secretly controlled a Golden Immortal Demon King of the demon race. He used the Demon King as a cover and hid himself.
Now, there were many things that he needed to multitask, especially in the mortal world. He had to do some homework at a fixed time every day.
He only befriended Shen Bao to influence him and participate in and arrange for Shen Bao to become his disciple.
He wanted all the variables to be under his control.
Even if he did that to follow the will of the Heavenly Dao, it did not matter.
Speaking of which, the power struggle within the Shang Nation was really cruel.
Not long after the kid was born, he encountered a tragic fate such as "milk being poisoned" and "a palace maid failing". However, this fellow's life was extremely tough. He was completely fine.
Around those events, there was naturally a bloody storm in the palace.
Li Changshou pretended not to see that and quietly managed his own faction. Only on some key issues would he speak up and influence the Human Emperor's judgment.
Being an ordinary minister in the Celestial Court gave Li Changshou enough work experience.
In the mortal dynasty, he chose to hide in the dark and avoid standing out.
It was rather boring to establish a career in the mortal world.
He could barely be interested in being an underground "evil" force in the Great Yin City.
After Chan School experienced the failure of the "Heart of Seven Orifices", they seemed to have really listened to Li Changshou's suggestion. It was better to not do anything. The third-generation disciples even left.
On Jie School's side, because Wen Zhong was doing well in the Great Yin City, they had high hopes for him. On the surface, they did not do anything else.
In fact, the two sects were secretly investigating the powerful vassal states in the various places to see which one could replace the Shang Dynasty.
However, no matter how they looked, they were still lacking something.
At that moment, although the Zhou Nation had developed for many years, it had just experienced a calamity. Its national power had been greatly weakened, and it had bowed to the Shang Nation and did not dare to resist.
Ji Jili, who was also Ji Chang's father, worked hard to expand the territory of the Zhou Nation and conquered many small tribes. He was praised by the previous King of Shang and gave Ji Jili the honorary title of "Chief of the Western Vassal States" and ordered him to die.
The grudge between the Zhou Nation and the Shang Nation had actually been buried there.
At that moment, the Zhou Nation was leaderless. Without the King of Shang's orders, Ji Chang did not dare to succeed the throne.
The King of Shang deliberately delayed. Clearly, he wanted to suppress the hidden danger of the Zhou Nation.
Compared to the Zhou Nation, the Marquis of Chong in the north was more prosperous. The Jiang Clan in the east had a deep foundation and strong troops. The Marquis of E in the south had a vast territory and a high reputation …
The other three were indeed more interested in replacing the Shang Nation.
That puzzled the Chan School and Jie School. They could only place bets and place some chess pieces everywhere.
Although there were still decades of buffer time for the God-Conferment Tribulation, there were already surging undercurrents. The atmosphere was rather tense.
At that moment, Li Changshou turned his gaze and looked at his old opponent.
The Heavenly Dao was maintaining stability in the South Continent. The Saints were watching. There would not be any trouble.
He had to complete his other arrangements while the Saints' attention was on the South Continent …
For example, when Li Jing and the Yin family met, he secretly threw a Flame of Heart Pill.
For example, he could go to the Netherworld to take a stroll and find Jin Zha's previous life.
For example, he could casually issue a declaration in the Celestial Court and chase after the Void Bodhi, who was hiding in the Trichiliocosm.
Li Changshou's main body personally took action. Bai Ze was in charge of planning and the Golden Roc was in charge of chasing and intercepting. In just a few days, he blocked the Void Bodhi at the edge of the Trichiliocosm.
The Golden Roc wanted to kill him directly, but Bai Ze secretly stopped him.
Li Changshou deliberately revealed a flaw and gave the Void Bodhi a chance to escape to the boundary of the world.
However, just as the Void Bodhi was about to rush out of the edge of the Primordial World, a lightning curtain fell from the void and sealed all the Void Bodhi's life.
The rules of the Primordial World.
If he deliberately escaped into the Chaos Sea to avoid the Great Tribulation during the Great Tribulation, he would be wiped out by the Heavenly Dao and be considered to be dead.
When such a living being returned to the Primordial World, it would be like the few black shadows that had appeared in the Asura Ancient City in the Blood Sea. They would become demons and be rejected by the Heavenly Dao. In terms of form, they could be considered to have died.
Li Changshou's few trips out were considered official business.
"In addition, the right to interpret the clause ultimately belongs to the Heavenly Dao."
The Void Bodhi stopped in front of the lightning curtain in a sorry state. He lowered his head and spat out a mouthful of blood. He turned his head and glared at the authoritative god of the Celestial Court, who was walking over with his hands behind his back.
"Run, Void Bodhi."
Li Changshou squinted and smiled. "Hand over the Seven Arrows Book and I can spare your life."
Eh? Why do I feel like a villain?
"Hmph! I don't know what the Seven Arrows are! The Western Sect has already suffered heavy losses. Do you really want to kill us? "
"I already said that today is for personal grudges. There's no need to involve the battle between the sects."
Li Changshou opened his left hand. The God-Slaying Spear flew from the Golden Roc's hand and was grabbed by Li Changshou.
The Void Bodhi gritted his teeth. His eyes were filled with jealousy. He turned around and rushed through the lightning curtain. He rushed into the Chaos Sea and disappeared instantly.
Li Changshou frowned. The Golden Roc had already chased after him. He and Bai Ze followed closely behind.
In fact, Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief.
The Void Bodhi's move had finally landed.
