My Senior Brother is Too Steady

"Hahahaha! It's rare to see Ran Deng suffer a loss, why is my heart so happy, brother!"

"This burning lamp doesn't have any great magical powers, but that lamp is indeed extraordinary."

In a restaurant in Dongsheng Shenzhou, Zhao Gongming was stroking his beard and laughing, and the armor on his body was trembling.

The three of them were sitting at the round table in the center of this spacious suite, but they had three completely different styles.

Kong Xuan's painting is untainted by dust and proud of the world. It is like the creatures that emerge from the sea of ​​chaos before the chaos has opened and the chaos has not yet settled. They always have a sense of holiness and indifference.

Uncle Zhao is still as heroic as ever, and because he is in a happy mood and smiles constantly, he gives people an inexplicable sense of joy.

Li Changshou's paper Taoist figure sat aside, his white robe and white hair exuding a faint white light;

If someone looks at it at a glance, it seems that they can understand "everything" about this ordinary powerful god in heaven, but when they come back to their senses, they feel that this is a vast ocean, unfathomable...

The three of them were drinking and chatting here, and they used their great powers to hide their secrets so that no one would overhear their chatter.

Kong Xuan asked: "Is this burning lamp very unpopular among Taoists?"

“Absolutely,” Zhao Gongming clicked his tongue, “Originally, we intercepted the teaching and explained the teaching, because the master and the second uncle had different ideas on accepting disciples, and the previous eldest disciples had accumulated some grievances, so there were often frictions.

Whenever something trivial happens, Ran Deng will fan the flames and exaggerate, causing us to suffer a lot of hidden losses. "

Li Changshou said seriously:

"Randeng's actions, on the surface, seem to suppress Jie Jie, but in fact they deepen the contradiction between Jie Jie.

So much so that someone from the three religions stood up and held a conference on the origins of the three religions on the pretext of preventing the Central China Immortal Sect from colliding with each other, in order to repair the rift between Interpretation and Interpretation.

But unfortunately, after all, it is only treating the symptoms but not the root cause...

In the final analysis, there is always a conflict of ideas. "

Zhao Gongming sighed: "Some people have asserted for a long time that there must be a war between Yan and Jie, but they don't know how to make up for it."

"Isn't there a water god?"

Kong Xuan gently raised his chin towards Li Changshou, and Zhao Gongming laughed dumbly.

Li Changshou said sternly: "I can only do my best, and the human religion originally adheres to the principle of tranquility and inaction, and should not be too involved in cause and effect."

"We taught Ran Deng a lesson today, and there must be some complaints among the senior fellow students in the Chan teaching," Zhao Gongming sighed softly, stroking his beard, "I'm afraid they think this is a concerted effort to crowd out the Chan teaching.

Brother, what do you think should be done? "

"Actually, it's not too serious," Li Changshou said, "I have a lot of treacherous views, which is known to everyone in the sect.

Later, I will ask Senior Brother Xuandu to come out and visit Senior Brother Guangchengzi in Yuxu Palace. This matter can be resolved naturally. "

Kong Xuan suddenly asked: "When will he go?"

"It depends on Senior Brother Xuandu to make arrangements..."

"Nothing, I just asked casually."

Kong Xuan replied calmly, then picked up the fairy wine that he had not even looked at before and took a sip.

When Li Changshou saw this, he calmly changed the topic and asked Zhao Gongming:

"Brother, if you weren't going out with someone, why did you come back so soon?"

Hearing this, Zhao Gongming's face suddenly became gloomy, and he grinned and wanted to smile, but halfway through his smile, it turned into a long sigh.

"The affairs between men and women are indeed a thousand times more troublesome than practicing cultivation, alas..."

Kong Xuan couldn't help but become interested and listened carefully.

Very pure curiosity.

Li Changshou secretly thought, "I knew it would be like this." He frowned and said warmly, "Brother, what's going on? If there's anything bothering you, you might as well tell me."

Zhao Gongming shook his head, raised his head and took a sip of the fairy brew that Li Changshou took out, remaining silent.

[Longevity Lesson:

When a friend shows such a sad expression in this situation, and takes the initiative to say a concluding sentence first, it is not that the other party does not want to talk about the matter, but that the emotion of the opening is not in place, and he wants to get more before talking about it. focus on.

Under the pretentious silence, there is a desire to talk like a tsunami! 】

Li Changshou asked with concern: "Brother, what happened? Could it be that there was a dispute with the Golden Lady?"

Zhao Gongming smiled bitterly, looked at the wine glass in front of him, and said:

"Brother, I don't know what to say to others now, but Junior Sister Jin Guang and I... are really not suitable to be Taoist companions.

If this matter spreads, it will inevitably affect the reputation of Junior Sister Jin Guang.

well--"

Kong Xuan said: "Why care about what others say? As a living being, we just need to practice and comprehend the great road."

"What fellow Taoist said is somewhat biased. It is impossible for anyone to completely ignore the criticism of others."

Li Changshou raised a chestnut beside him: "If someone spreads the false news that Senior Brother Xuandu has formed a Taoist couple with a certain fairy..."

"snort!"

Kong Xuan said coldly: "Let me see who dares to spread rumors behind his back and cause trouble! He must be punished by life or death!"

"Look, that's it," Li Changshou spread his hands, "What I care about is how fellow disciples of Jiejiao will view this matter, just like fellow Taoists care about Brother Xuandu.

It's just that different people and different things have different levels of attention. "

Kong Xuan was thoughtful, and quickly nodded with understanding, and said with a smile: "It's true that my knowledge is shallow."

Zhao Gongming said proudly: "If we talk about how to behave in the world, no Taoist disciple can be better than my brother!"

Kong Xuan also deeply agreed with this, and he drank with Zhao Gongming.

Li Changshou:...

Is this a good thing?

Okay, at least it sounds better than being sophisticated and cunning.

After a glass of wine, Zhao Gongming opened up his chatterbox and told in detail what had happened over the years when he and Our Lady of Golden Light were traveling together.

According to Zhao Gongming's original words, when getting along with Junior Sister Jin Guang... the atmosphere is always strange.

The two of them couldn't find a suitable topic to talk about, so they always relied on Our Lady of Golden Light's 'enthusiasm' and 'initiative' towards Zhao Gongming to maintain the superficial intimacy.

Zhao Gongming also tried to find some interesting things to chat with, but after saying a few words, he came to a standstill...

They went to several worlds to travel around, and if they encountered a place with beautiful scenery, they would stay for a while. In this way, the final result was...

"I feel a little tired for no reason."

Zhao Gongming stroked his beard and shook his head, "Junior Sister Jin Guang and I tried to separate for several months to see if we had anything to say to each other, but when we meet again, the conversation is still a bit awkward."

Zhao Gongming sighed and whispered: "I always feel that getting along with Junior Sister Jin Guang is not as relaxing and pleasant as getting along with you, my brother."

Li Changshou silently picked up the stool, moved it to the side, and said calmly:

"Brother, please respect yourself."

"Hey! I was just making an analogy!" Zhao Gongming laughed and cursed several times.

Kong Xuan on the side tilted his head and asked in confusion: "What does this mean? Why do you have to respect yourself?"

"Hahaha!"

Zhao Gongming was so amused that he stroked his beard and laughed, and briefly explained a few legends about the 'Chunyang Taoist' and 'Chongyang Taoist' that had been spread throughout history.

Kong Xuan said that his horizons were opened and he didn’t know how to comment.

Li Changshou smiled and said, "Brother, do you know what kind of woman you like now?"

"knew."

Zhao Gongming smiled and said: "I don't need a Taoist companion. Now that my Taoist heart has been disturbed, I am destined to survive a love disaster.

If I must have a Taoist companion, I hope she can have the gentleness of the second sister, but not the majesty of the second sister, and the wisdom of the third sister, but not the evil deeds of the third sister;

She doesn’t have to give up anything for me, and I don’t have to change my character for her. We don’t have to do it deliberately when we talk, just look at each other and smile and there will be a light touch.

It’s best if your cultivation level is similar to mine, so that we can understand each other. If you have nothing to talk about, you can still talk about the Tao..."

Li Changshou picked up two green vegetables with jade chopsticks, put them on the plate in front of Zhao Gongming, and warned: "Don't just drink, eat some food, eat some food, why are you so drunk?"

"That's all," Zhao Gongming shook his head, "It's really hard to find a woman like this."

Li Changshou curled his lips, there are not many women like this...

Kong Xuan couldn't help but sigh: "After dividing yin and yang, it is really too troublesome."

"But because of this," Li Changshou said with a smile, "the path of cultivating Taoism and seeking truth has become more colorful and interesting."

Kong Xuan asked back: "What benefit does a man and a woman have a relationship with Tao?"

Li Changshou replied: "The word "emotion" should be inserted into one's nature. It can be used to stabilize the self and resist the destruction of the heart by the Tao."

“If you don’t cut off your true self, it may be difficult to truly achieve enlightenment.”

“If becoming enlightened means giving up your true nature, why should we transcend?”

Li Changshou also seemed to have opened up his chat box, talking about this matter:

"If you lose your temperament and your words and deeds are close to the Tao, then you will just become a puppet of the Tao. How can you call it enlightenment?

If any living being asks: ‘Why should I seek truth and become enlightened? ’

We can’t always answer that we seek enlightenment for the sake of enlightenment.

Enlightenment is about being free from restraints and having nothing to hurt you. If your heart has no selfish desires, why should you seek this?

Therefore, attaining the Tao is definitely not about being assimilated by the Tao, nor is it about being integrated into the Tao, nor should it be trapped by the Tao anymore.

It is said in Taoist classics that the three corpses are the good and evil selves, but the corpses of the selves are not cut out, but taken off like clothes.

What is taken off is the false and the false, what remains is the original and the true. This is the transcendence of killing three corpses.

Having said that, if you keep a feeling and a concern in your heart, you may be able to get a guide to return to your true nature when you are about to get lost in the road.

This is ultimately a good thing and is by no means inconsistent with spiritual practice. "

"Let me savor it carefully."

Kong Xuan nodded slowly and sat there thinking carefully.

Zhao Gongming pondered for a few times and asked:

"What kind of book does this appear in? How come I haven't read it, brother?

Also, brother, I’m really not used to it when you suddenly talk about this so seriously. "

Li Changshou:...

You have to break things up, right?

This is just to remind Kong Xuan that the relationship between men and women is not unnecessary, and that after practicing the innate chaotic body to the end, it is easy to become an 'envoy of the great road' and lose one's self.

But if you have concerns outside of Tao in your heart, you can better resist the invasion of yourself by Tao.

I am so worried about a certain senior brother in the backyard of Tushita Palace!

Li Changshou suddenly thought of something, and asked with a serious face: "Brother, how far have you progressed with Our Lady of Golden Light?"

"What step? Heating stage?" Zhao Gongming was a little confused.

"Hand in hand, embrace, touch lips, bridal chamber, which step?"

Zhao Gongming blushed and muttered: "The first step...occasionally."

"That won't be a problem," Li Changshou nodded slowly, "If you finish the four steps and say that our personalities are incompatible, then I will really go to Biyou Palace to sue you."

Zhao Gongming cursed: "I am so unbearable!

By the way, where have you and my second sister come to? "

"It's all about emotion and more than courtesy. Every time we meet, we chat and take a walk. It should be said that we just left...

Half a step. "

Li Changshou explained calmly, erasing the image of the pavilion that emerged from his mind.

It's hard to talk about such private matters to the outside world, just asking about other people's homes is enough.

Zhao Gongming thought for a while and then asked: "Then will it be awkward for my second sister to get along with you?"

Li Changshou carefully recalled the several times we got along, and shook his head with a smile, "We didn't talk to each other for a few days and nights, but we still felt quite harmonious with each other."

"Hmm," Kong Xuan had come to his senses at this time, "If this is the case, I have a merciless request."

I had already called myself ‘I’ before, but now I changed my name to ‘Pindao’. This unkind invitation...

"Fellow Taoist, please speak."

"Next time you meet fellow Taoist Yunxiao, can you let me observe in secret?"

Kong Xuan also knew that this request was a bit excessive and explained: "I also want to know more about these things.

My mother placed the last hope of the Phoenix Clan in me. Now that my realm is in trouble, the innate chaotic treasure body has long since lost its support, and it is time to determine the identity of yin and yang. "

Li Changshou said seriously:

"Fellow Taoist, you know that when it comes to racial reproduction, our human race should be considered experts in the ancient times.

Especially the first batch of human races created by the Holy Mother's hands, they definitely preserved the true meaning of the rapid reproduction of the human race!

The human race is the protagonist in the world. If the Phoenix clan can form a good relationship with the human race, their destiny will be affected..."

Kong Xuan couldn't help but ask: "Then where can we find the first batch of humans?"

"It's not a coincidence," Zhao Gongming patted the table beside him, "We have two... brothers... Brother, why are your eyes so scary? But what did you say wrong?"

Li Changshou said calmly: "Let's talk about how to help you deal with the follow-up matters, brother."

Zhao Gongming blinked, not knowing why.

Kong Xuan, however, narrowed his eyes and smiled, and said, "It would be great if I could see fellow Taoist Xuandu again."

Zhao Gongming suddenly realized this and couldn't help but scratch his head in embarrassment;

Li Changshou also raised his eyebrows, knowing in his heart that he would stop mentioning this matter today.

Li Changshou had actually prepared a plan on how to help Zhao Gongming solve the problem.

At this moment, he took out a scroll and began to explain his thoughts.

At this time, Our Lady of Golden Light also knew that the two of them were not suitable to be Taoist companions;

When they talked next to the Ornamental Dragon Treasure Pond on Jin'ao Island, they made an agreement not to force each other if they felt it was inappropriate.

——This retreat actually came from the tips Li Changshou gave to the Holy Mother of Fire Spirits back then.

Now that Zhao Gongming and Our Lady of Golden Light have reached this point, Li Changshou has come up with this plan, which is considered a complete success.

How can there be lovers in the world who "like each other and are suitable for each other"? Half of all relationships are about whether you like them when you are young, and whether they are suitable when you are older. The same is true in ancient times.

When lovers finally get married, for some creatures, it is just a good wish after all.

"It's just, man."

Zhao Gongming groaned, "Isn't it a bit exaggerated to make such a big deal about separation? No one knows that Junior Sister Jin Guang and I..."

Li Changshou reminded calmly: "Don't forget Senior Brother Duobao's earth cave magical power."

Zhao Gongming was startled at first, and then his forehead was covered with black lines;

On the side, Kong Xuan made a guess with his fingers, and then he couldn't help but laugh out loud and said "interesting".

…

In the Tushita Palace, under the shade of the trees.

A young Taoist who had just put away the Tai Chi diagram and was preparing to practice for a while after watching the show suddenly frowned.

Why is the wind today... starting to become noisy again?
