My Senior Brother is Too Steady

"The incarnation of the seven emotions?"

On the way back to Wubuzhou after leaving the Holy Mother Palace, the Archmage listened to Li Changshou's story and was filled with emotion for a moment, sighing:

"For living beings to transform into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, but still having to bear the remnants of the living beings, Queen Houtu takes it seriously...

Junior brother, if you have the means, please help Empress Houtu. You always have many ideas. If you can help Empress Houtu resolve this pain, it will be a great merit. "

"Senior brother..."

Li Changshou was speechless for a moment.

He simply wants to do something for the underworld and for the living beings. If Master Tiandao doesn't give him any merit, won't he stop helping?

Of course, motivation is bound to take a hit.

Li Changshou thought seriously for a while and said: "Senior brother, I'm afraid I can't do this alone.

According to what the Holy Mother said, the incarnation of Queen Houtu that was born at this time contained hatred. My cultivation is shallow, and I am afraid that I will be killed by this incarnation before I get close. "

Master Xuandu thought about it carefully and said, "This makes sense."

Li Changshou immediately breathed a sigh of relief. With the Archmage protecting him, he could easily handle even entering the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

——It is impossible for my sage master to let the two of them be trapped in the Six Paths of Reincarnation together.

However, Master Xuandu turned his left hand, and Xuanhuang Pagoda and Tai Chi Diagram appeared at the same time, hovering gently in his palm and delivered to Li Changshou...

"effort!"

The Archmage patted Li Changshou on the shoulder and said, "Senior brother, how can I share your merits with Chang Changshou? Teacher and I will always stand behind you to support you, just go ahead and do it!"

"Thank you, senior brother!"

Li Changshou was inexplicably moved. He held two defensive treasures in his hands and bowed deeply to the Archmage.

Then he murmured in a low voice: "If this is the case, even though the interval is shorter, I can still let Taoist Brother Kong Xuan repay the favor owed to me. Well, in this way, I owe Taoist Friend Kong Xuan another favor.

It’s not difficult to repay this. He wants to visit Tushita Palace, but I don’t know if Laojun will allow it..."

The Xuandu Archmage, who had already raised his left hand to break through the universe and leave, paused.

Li Changshou looked at the two treasures in front of him, and the sense of security in his heart almost overflowed.

"Ahem, I thought about it for my brother," Archmage Xuandu turned around with a gentle smile, "It is indeed inappropriate to let Changshou go through this trip by yourself. After all, no one knows the specific details of the six paths of reincarnation. How is the situation?"

As he spoke, a big hand stretched out and silently pulled the Tai Chi diagram back.

"Thank you, senior brother! Hehe."

"You guy," the Archmage gritted his teeth and cursed, "At first, Taoist Wenjing let it go, knowing that it would be difficult for you to instigate her against her, but now... Humph!

Don't arrange this for your brother haphazardly. Why do you need company when you are free and at ease? The red rope will lead to trouble. "

Li Changshou put away the Xuanhuang Tower, smiled with narrowed eyes, jumped to the side of the Archmage, and cupped his hands: "Brother, why don't we go to Jin'ao Island for a stroll first, there is also something rare there.

By the way, let me think about how I can help Houtu Empress. "

"What rare things can happen there? Could it be that someone has formed a Taoist couple?"

"Just the opposite."

"Oh?" The Archmage's eyes lit up, a white cloud formed under his feet, and he led Li Changshou towards Wubu Continent.

Li Changshou closed his eyes and concentrated, looking for a solution to Hou Tu's matter.

This is the most thorny and difficult problem he has faced since his early days of practice. Calculations and schemes are completely useless, and he doesn't even know how far he should go.

In the words of Empress Nuwa, Empress Houtu endured the seven emotions for countless creatures, thus bringing herself to the edge of collapse and giving birth to seven incarnations. These incarnations are the seven incarnations of Empress Houtu herself. The transformation of love...

From Li Changshou's understanding, this is Empress Houtu's complete "personality", which she split into "seven personalities" based on the seven emotions.

Yes, this is split personality.

Li Changshou has seen many examples of split personalities of Qi practitioners in ancient books - the inner demons of many Qi practitioners are caused by suppressing and avoiding certain emotions, resulting in distorted personalities.

This kind of split personality is completely different from the mainstream way of incarnation in ancient times; the former is uncontrollable, while the latter is dominated by the Qi Refiner's own will.

The first three incarnations of the seven emotions are sadness, desire, and evil. This is actually easy to understand:

Most of the living souls who have arrived at the Six Paths of Reincarnation carry the sorrow caused by death;

Desire is something that cannot be avoided by living beings. It can even be regarded as the basic driving force of living beings. Evil is often related to it...

After all the seven emotions are relieved, can Empress Houtu be freed from such pain?

Li Changshou focused half of his attention on Xiao Qiongfeng's secret room, spread out a piece of white paper, and began to organize his thoughts using the old method.

The reminder from the sage Nuwa was very important to Li Changshou.

His real advantage lies in the 'strange ideas' that the creatures from the ancient times did not have.

In terms of magical power and magical power, who can surpass the saint in the current era?

If magical powers and spells could help Empress Houtu... Li Changshou did not dare to say what other saints would do, but Saint Nuwa had made it clear that if she could take action, she would not stand idly by.

After all, Houtu and she were once rivals and also good friends.

"well……"

Approaching Jin'ao Island, Li Changshou suddenly sighed.

Master Xuandu asked warmly: "What's wrong?"

"I suddenly felt a little emotional," Li Changshou said with his head lowered, "I often hear people say that good people will be rewarded.

But Empress Houtu sacrificed herself for the sake of all sentient beings and became the Queen of Six Paths of Reincarnation, but she continued to suffer the pain of beings' gifts in return.

In this seemingly beautiful Three Realms, the happiness of the majority of people requires a small number of living beings to endure pain...

Alas, I really don’t know how to comment on this matter. "

The Archmage smiled and said: "Why is it suddenly so profound? Longevity, cough, Changgeng."

"I am here."

"This is the Tao."

Li Changshou couldn't help but be startled. He stood beside the Archmage in trance for a long time, and then he burst into laughter.

He transformed into a white-haired, white-robed water god from heaven, and said with a smile, "Senior brother, I have a question."

"speak."

"What the Tao shows can be right or wrong, right or wrong, good or evil?"

"There is no such thing," the Archmage said warmly. "The Tao has nothing to do with you and me. You and I are just walking along the Tao, looking for the beginning and the end of the Tao."

"But senior brother, there is right and wrong in living beings, as well as good and evil," Li Changshou said softly, "Can living beings be together?"

This time, the Archmage was stunned for a moment. He put his hands behind his hands and pondered for a long time. Then he stopped laughing and continued to say warmly:

"If we think about thousands of living beings, birth, old age, sickness and death, the seven emotions and six desires, are naturally the great road.

But in terms of a single creature, it is the vibrating transformation of the Great Dao and the True Spirit, and cannot be said to be Tao.

Therefore, you and I pursue freedom and freedom, but we must not go beyond the Tao. As the words often mentioned - do as you please but do not violate the rules, only then can living beings stay with the Tao, be relaxed and relaxed, and have endless happiness. "

Li Changshou lowered his head and pondered for a while, then bowed to the Archmage and said, "Thank you, senior brother, for clearing up the confusion."

"good."

The Archmage smiled and nodded, secretly sweating.

Darling, what realm has this little guy achieved?

It's only been a few hundred years?

This will take another few hundred years of practice, so the next question asked will be...

The archmage turned his head and glanced at Li Changshou, who was lost in thought again, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times.

It's time to return to Xuandu City to retire.

…

When Li Changshou and the Great Master arrived at Jin'ao Island, there were immortals coming and going and light flowing continuously on Jin'ao Island.

The idle Qi masters on Jin'ao Island all helped Zhao Gongming deliver messages everywhere.

Zhao Gongming also made it clear in advance that he was inviting friends to come to Jin'ao Island to bear witness, in order to tell about his and the Golden Light Holy Mother's attempts and efforts in becoming Taoists, and to announce that the two were officially...

Restore the identity of ordinary fellow disciples.

When the Archmage heard Li Changshou talking about this matter, he couldn't stop laughing. Such a novel thing was indeed the first time in the world.

However, there will definitely not be any heavenly merits coming.

The Archmage and Li Changshou did not show up directly, but hid in the corner of Jin'ao Island. The former watched the various arrangements of Jie Jiao Immortal with great interest, while the latter concentrated on thinking about how to take away the great merits of the underworld. .

Merit and a golden body can be expected, but Li Changshou feels no excitement at all in his heart;

For Li Changshou, helping Empress Houtu solve the incarnation of the Seven Emotions was a hundred times more difficult than killing a sufficient number of ancient karmic demons.

After all, this is a difficult problem for saints to solve.

Treating this as an illness, Li Changshou felt that the first thing he had to do was to prevent the 'disease from getting worse'.

But how can this be prevented? To stop the six paths of reincarnation? If the law of heaven does not allow it, I am afraid that Queen Houtu herself will not agree.

A few hours later, more than a thousand Jie Jiao Immortals gathered on Jin'ao Island...

The Archmage saw that Li Changshou had been concentrating on his thoughts, and warned him: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, even if you can't help, no one will blame you.

After all, this is not your responsibility, you are just acting out of a sense of justice. "

Li Changshou deliberately showed a firm gaze and whispered: "I have to work hard for merit!"

The archmage laughed twice, raised his hand and pointed forward.

"Look, who is yours?"

Li Changshou looked up and saw a cloud of mist rising on the clouds on the horizon. Three beautiful figures slowly appeared from the clouds and mist, but it was Zhao Gongming who invited all the Sanxiao fairies of Sanxian Island over.

The Archmage asked: "Should we show up? Although socializing and greetings will be a little troublesome."

"No need, I just said hello."

Today is Uncle Zhao's place, so we can't steal Uncle Zhao's limelight.

Li Changshou called out softly: "Fairy, Senior Brother Xuandu and I are hiding here to watch the ceremony. We have important things to do later, so we won't show up to see you today."

Yun Xiao raised his head and glanced at the hiding place of Li Changshou and the Archmage. He smiled slightly and nodded gently to Li Changshou.

Li Changshou:...

Sure enough, I am still not good at cultivation, and if I have the Tai Chi diagram to cover me up, I will be exposed!

To the side, Qiong Xiao rolled her eyes, sniffed lightly, and muttered: "It's so strange."

"What's wrong?" Bixiao asked, blinking.

"It smells like a gray-haired old man's decay," Qiong Xiao smacked her lips.

Yun Xiao looked at Qiong Xiao helplessly and said softly: "Don't tease him like this, he also has his own difficulties."

Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao looked at each other and burst into laughter.

"Hahaha," the Archmage touched his palms and chuckled, saying, "Junior Sister Yunxiao's temperament is indeed gentle."

Li Changshou nodded with a smile, and a flash of light suddenly flashed in his heart, but the light flashed so quickly that he could not catch it.

What did Empress Hou Tu go through when she transformed into the Six Paths of Reincarnation? And how?

Does this contain the answer to the question?

Li Changshou closed his eyes again and meditated, letting the bustling noise around his ears remain undisturbed.

At dusk, the breakup celebration officially begins.

More than a thousand immortals from Jiejiao gathered beside the treasure pool and surrounded the entire treasure pool from top to bottom. Several disciples of the saint who came to support them stayed in the clouds.

Zhao Gongming first took a few steps forward, walked to the open space surrounded by the immortals, bowed his hands to everyone, and said loudly:

“I take the liberty of inviting all of you here today just to bear witness.

Please forgive me if I disturb my fellow practitioners.

This matter is originally a matter between Gong Ming and Junior Sister Jin Guang, but it has attracted the attention of all my colleagues before, so I invite you all to come here today and speak clearly together.

I have nothing to worry about today, I feel relaxed and relaxed.

Junior Sister Jin Guang and I are traveling..."

Zhao Gongming began to tell a short story about him and the Holy Mother of Golden Light, and all the immortals in the Jie Sect listened quietly.

Our Lady of Golden Light soon stood up and said that she had understood her true feelings and respected Senior Brother Gongming so much that she wanted to become a Taoist couple with him. However, after the two got along, they found that they were not suitable for each other...

"Brother, let's go to the underworld to do some work."

"What are you thinking?" the Archmage asked from the side.

Li Changshou shook his head: "We can only contact Empress Houtu's Seven Emotions incarnation first. It is best to communicate with Empress Houtu herself to see if we can find some clues."

"good."

The Dao Yun circulated around the Archmage's body, and the two of them sat on the clouds and quietly left the scene.

At this moment, Fairy Yunxiao looked up in the distance.

Li Changshou waved his hands with a smile, and Yun Xiao also showed a faint smile, and nodded before Li Changshou disappeared.

On the way, the Archmage suddenly thought of something, raised his hand and pressed Li Changshou's shoulder, asking:

"How do you get along with Yunxiao?

Could it be that, like Junior Brother Gongming and Junior Sister Jin Guang, they feel that they are completely out of tune with each other? "

Why are you worried about this?

Li Changshou brought the topic to the matter of Empress Houtu, and after discussing it with the Archmage for a while, they arrived outside Fengdu City.

It is indeed much easier to travel with the Archmage.

The two discussed it for a while and decided to directly confront the Witch Clan on this matter and ask the Underworld Division to fully assist them.

At that moment, the Archmage unleashed his coercion and appeared together with Li Changshou in the low sky outside Fengdu City.

All the lords of the ten palaces were shocked. The cries of ghosts and wolves howling inside and outside Fengdu City stopped for an instant, and the bull-headed horse face feasting on the top of the mountain shivered a few times.

"Niu, did we need too much seasoning? Er..."

"No, that's not the case, is it? With just a little seasoning, the Archmage is here in person!"

Fortunately, Li Changshou's next sentence was: "Master Yan of the Ten Palaces, do you know your sin?"

The bull-headed horses all breathed a sigh of relief, hugging the spice jars beside them tightly.

So, half an hour later.

Li Changshou was strict at first and then relaxed, forcing the Tenth Palace Yama to tell the truth about the worries of the underworld and the Empress Houtu, and proposed that he would take action with the Archmage to see if he could help Empress Houtu get rid of such a 'stubborn illness'.

In terms of routines, Yan Jun will never be the opponent of the Heavenly Water God.

Lord Yan of the Tenth Palace not only told all the secrets of the underworld in every detail, he also burst into tears of gratitude to Li Changshou, as if his life had been entrusted to him.

Li Changshou proposed that he first go to the eighteenth level of hell to find the 'Incarnation of Sorrow'. The Lords of Hell did not dare to refuse, so King Qin Guang and King Chu Jiang personally led the way and led Li Changshou and the Great Master into the eighteenth level of hell.

There is no need to describe the tragic scenes along the way, they went straight to the bottom of the eighteen levels of hell;

The two Lords of Hell unlocked the forty-nine layers of restrictions, stepped into an illusion where the power of heaven was extremely strong, and arrived at the lake that Li Changshou had seen.

"Arch Mage, Water God... you two will know after seeing it."

King Qin Guang sighed, with a rather complicated expression on his face. He raised his hands to form a seal, and four figures flew forward on their own and entered the white mist.

Not knowing how far ahead, Li Changshou saw the woman huddled on the lake again.

King Qin Guang and King Chu Jiang reported in unison:

"Ancestor, Archmage and Water..."

"Oh~~~"

The woman lying on the water let out a long sigh, and a strong Taoist rhyme spread, making Li Changshou's Taoist heart almost unbalanced.

The woman remained motionless, her light voice carrying a touch of sadness:

"What do you do to see me, why do you need to see me? Everything is in vain, and existence has no meaning.

Haha, my brothers and sisters are all dead, why do I still exist..."

The two Yan Juns immediately shed tears, immersed in sadness and unable to extricate themselves.

The Archmage and Li Changshou were already ten feet away from the woman, and they both bowed.

The Archmage said loudly: "Madam, I wonder if you can have a chat with my two senior brothers?"

The woman lay there motionless, and her light voice was a little more feeble:

"It's useless, no need, go back, before the world is destroyed, eat what you need to eat and drink what you need to drink."

When she said these words, she was exuding that wonderful Taoist charm all the time, and even the Archmage had to take the initiative to resist it.

Li Changshou asked from the side: "Empress, is there anything we can help you with?"

The woman whispered: "What can you help me with? Let me out of here?"

The outside is just a bigger cage, the world is a dream, I am fine here, just slowly withering and disappearing..."

Li Changshou and the Archmage looked at each other, nodded at the same time, and stepped forward in tacit understanding.

The woman lying there didn't even look at them, and continued to cry silently. Her fair skin looked even more delicate, and her black gauze skirt seemed to symbolize something unknown.

Li Changshou took the Xuanhuang Pagoda into the Primordial Spirit, sat cross-legged in front of the woman, showed a gentle smile, and took the initiative to attack:

"No, did you ask me to save you?"

When the woman opened her eyes, her light blue eyes exuded deep sadness, which crazily attacked Li Changshou's defense.

Li Changshou quickly thought of some happy things...

"It's useless," the woman murmured, "No one can save me, I can only sink here, my heart is dead.

Who are you...forget it, whoever you are, why do you think we are alive? "

"for……"

"It's tiring, isn't it? So sad."

The woman said quietly, slowly raising a hand with a silver chain and grabbing the corner of Li Changshou's robe.

"Spirit is meant to suffer in this world, so it hopes to reach the end of liberation. What does your experience and your feelings have to do with other people?

The world in the eyes of the spirit is nothing more than the imagination of one's own mind. Why does such a world exist? "

"this……"

"Alas," the woman sighed faintly, "If you can't answer this kind of question, how can you save me?

Even if you are just lying to me, won’t you?

In this miserable world, my tears will eventually..."

"Can you sit up and talk?"

Li Changshou tried to take the initiative, but...

"Does it make sense? Will I change my mind when I sit up? You still don't understand, young man, the world is false, useless, and ultimately nothingness.

Who can save whom?

It's all a joke. If nothing happens, just leave and let me lie here quietly, okay?

I have tried my best not to let my pain affect others, what else do you want from me? Sad, so big.

The water of this lake is my tears. "

Li Changshou stood up, his figure flashed several times, and quickly backed away from the woman.

It can't be cured, it's hopeless, farewell!
