My Senior Brother is Too Steady

The night is dark and windy, Xiao Qiong Peak is high, and incense is hanging in the forest, and shadows are floating in the air.

Ling'e, who had just received the message from her senior brother, put on a Taoist robe and hurried out of the thatched hut. Holding the Jade Formation Opening Talisman, she rushed all the way to the alchemy room.

But as soon as she arrived in front of the alchemy room, Ling'e heard a suppressed sound...

Choking?

She panicked, jumped out of the night in the forest, landed in front of the brightly lit alchemy room, and saw... her senior brother lying on the rocking chair with tears streaming down his face!

Click!

A flash of lightning seemed to appear behind Ling'e, and she dodged backwards, staring in shock.

Oh my god, why did it suddenly collapse!

"Senior brother, what's wrong with you?"

Ling'e started crying and knelt directly in front of the rocking chair. She held Li Changshou's big hand with her small hand and shouted:

"If you have anything to say, tell me, no matter what happens, we can handle it together!

Yes, is it Master? Is Master hopeless?

Senior brother, is there something wrong with your practice?

If your immortality is destroyed, I will accompany you to be reincarnated or something, senior brother! "

"Ling'e...it's okay..."

Li Changshou answered in a trembling voice, his Adam's apple trembling up and down, exuding a deep sense of sadness.

Ling'e's eyelids drooped, tears falling like broken pearls. She put the back of her senior brother's hand next to her cheek and sobbed in a low voice:

"Senior brother, don't scare me. If you disappear now, what will I do?

Now I can't even be considered a widow for you, I can only guard your grave...

oops! Senior brother, why are you hitting me? "

"What are you shouting!"

Li Changshou cursed angrily, took back the finger that flicked her forehead, wiped tears from the corners of his eyes, sighed again, and murmured:

"This stamina is too much."

Ling'e covered her forehead and puffed up the corners of her mouth, looked at her senior brother faintly, and said depressedly: "I haven't seen you cry in so many years, senior brother, so I'm worried."

"Brother, this is not crying," Li Changshou sighed, "I am just venting the accumulated emotions in my Taoist heart."

Ling'e was confused.

Li Changshou shook his head and stared at the gloomy night, trying to calm down the sadness in his heart as much as possible.

He had just returned to the mountain for an hour, and he had been crying here for an hour.

Half a day ago, when he left the underworld, Li Changshou declined Uncle Zhao's dinner invitation on the grounds that he was going to the Poseidon Sect and Heaven to deal with follow-up matters.

The Xuanhuang Pagoda was deliberately taken back by the Archmage. The Archmage specifically asked Fairy Yunxiao to send Li Changshou back to the mountain gate...

A good brother as always.

Li Changshou rarely became strong and took the initiative to send Fairy Yunxiao back to Sanxian Island. He drank a cup of tea on Sanxian Island and chatted for a few words before embarking on the return journey alone.

On the way back, because there was no tower master to protect him, Li Changshou could not help but feel a sense of "lack of security"...

The way back that could have taken most of an hour had to go around half of Central China!

After returning to Xiao Qiong Peak and lying back on the comfortable rocking chair, Li Changshou sighed softly. Wisps of dark blue Taoist rhyme floated around him, and waves of sadness emerged from his body.

Thinking about the long journey of heaven and earth, I cried with sadness.

When all things have an end, why stay lonely?

It is not that Li Changshou was not affected by Xiao Ai before, he just accumulated these sorrows and created a sense of inscrutability to the outside world.

Hey, it’s not because of being in front of Fairy Yunxiao!

This kind of pure sadness and pure appeal cannot be resisted by a pure Taoist heart...

Ling'e moved a futon, sat next to Li Changshou, and asked in a low voice with her most serious gentleness:

"Brother, what happened?"

"It's nothing serious," Li Changshou said calmly, "It's just that when I was helping Queen Tu suppress the incarnation of the Seven Emotions, I was affected by the Tao Yun transformed by the Seven Emotions of all living beings. I just need to vent this emotion."

Ling'e blinked, as if she heard her senior brother say something very remarkable...

Li Changshou said: "Do you know why I called you here?"

"I know," Ling'e sighed softly, put on a look of despair, and turned to look to the side, "If rewarding me for copying scriptures can make senior brother happy, I...will..."

"No need this time, just play me some cheerful music to calm my mood."

"Hehe, did you tell me earlier? It's coming now!"

Ling'e immediately moved back, released two paper figures and picked up the drum and flute. She also took out a guqin and played a cheerful tune.

Li Changshou smiled and closed his eyes again. When the tide of sadness gradually subsided, his mind became busy again.

The smooth resolution of the calamity of Houtu's Seven Emotions cannot be separated from the cooperation of Heavenly Court, Dragon Palace, and the Three Immortal Sects.

Li Changshou's paper messengers went on the road again and went to the Dragon Palace to thank the Dragon King and talk about the progress of the matter. They also found Dongmu Gong in the heaven and discussed how to send people to the underworld to express condolences.

At Dongmu's office, Li Changshou received some unexpected news.

When the mind power of all sentient beings was gathered before, a stream of mind power was also gathered in the three thousand worlds and rushed to the underworld, injecting it into the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk, which added a lot of help.

The source of this sentient being’s power of thought…

It is the Western Sect that controls a large number of Incense God Sects in the Three Thousand Worlds!

Is the West taking action for justice?

Li Changshou thought about it carefully, and finally understood the purpose of Western teaching, which is nothing more than three things——

First, to grant favors to the underworld, making it easier to act in the netherworld in the future;

Second, helping the Six Paths of Reincarnation at the same time as the Dao Sect can be regarded as doing something for the way of heaven. Although it does not gain merit, it can save some luck;

Third, occupy the word morality.

[Morality], in this cruel living environment of prehistoric times, seems to be just a joke.

This was indeed the case when the Taoist ancestors were not in harmony with the Tao and the Six Saints were not born. In ancient times, it was purely about whoever had the bigger fist and who had the right. The so-called morality was just a fig leaf for brutality.

But after the Dao Ancestors united and the Six Saints came together, the prehistoric world was set, and background and footwork began to become more important than strength.

The existence of the Six Saints established the basic order of the ancient world;

The existence of the way of heaven makes the word morality and justice even more important.

The purpose of the Western Sect's help this time is to occupy the word "morality", to "justify" itself, to show the responsibility of the great sect, and to continue to compete with Taoism on the same level.

Probably - [We in the Western religion are not the villains of ancient times, we are in a competitive relationship with the Taoist sect, and each has its own position].

Was this matter ordered by the saint, or was it mentioned by Ksitigarbha or other disciples of the saint on his own initiative?

Li Changshou thought for a while, and naturally there was no answer to this question, so he smiled and stopped thinking about it.

Well, let’s think about how to help the underworld in the future and earn more merit by the way.

This time to help Queen Tu, Heaven sent down a huge amount of merits and distributed them to the nine immortals of the Taoist sect; and Li Changshou was the most important and key figure among them, so he naturally received the most merits.

But as the Archmage reminded him before...

The merits from this matter are distributed to the Taoist masters who come to help, and Li Changshou's own income will naturally be reduced.

There was nothing he could do about it. It was about the Dade Queen, so Li Changshou naturally wanted to ensure stability in everything.

The golden body of merit is almost 90% complete at this moment!

But 90% of it is still ‘material’.

Pure merit, apart from offsetting karma, does not have much effect. Only a complete merit body can produce the effect of 'Heavenly Protection'.

Of course, Li Changshou's thinking on this matter has never changed——

He wants a golden body of merit and virtue, not to rely on a golden body of merit and virtue to save his life.

With the protection of a meritorious golden body, in ordinary dangerous situations that do not involve saints, the safety factor can be increased by at least 30%;

And in dangerous situations involving saints, he can also rely on his merit and golden body to make saints... hesitate for a moment.

This is a glimmer of hope!

Li Changshou had already prepared the method of cultivating a meritorious golden body, and he had also considered the idea of ​​magical transformation, but he could never find a suitable idea.

At this time, the missing part of my meritorious body is a calf and a foot.

Then, can you get a small 'leg'?

Merit, golden body, and weak legs?

"Hahaha!"

Such a picture appeared in Li Changshou's heart, and he couldn't help laughing.

Ling'e's piano music stopped and she said happily: "Brother, are you okay?"

"Ah, Dao is fine," Li Changshou stretched his arms, looked at Ling'e in front of him, and couldn't help but fall into thought.

Ling'e suddenly blushed and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

"Ling'e, how long have you been practicing till now?"

How long have you been practicing?

Could it be that senior brother... is going to attack me?

The family flower is finally going to come out and bear fruit, can the relationship between the senior brothers and sisters be further improved?

Boom!

Ling'e's heartbeat suddenly amplified, her pretty face turned red, and she hesitated to say a complete sentence. She directly jumped over the girl's reserve and uneasiness, and said the words she had prepared for many years, as quietly as a mosquito's whisper:

"I-I...I'm ready...ok..."

"oh?"

Li Changshou's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "You can guess what I am thinking. After your cultivation level is high, your spiritual wisdom will also gradually grow.

Then it was decided directly to travel down the mountain twelve years later.

It's time for you to face this prehistoric situation. "

"Eh?"

Ling'e was startled, but Li Changshou chuckled a few times, and his figure turned into a wisp of blue smoke and disappeared into the alchemy room.

…

Where can we make up for the insufficient merit?

Although demon elimination is a relatively stable option, the sudden pressure on the demon clan is too great and can easily cause the demon clan to violently rebound.

It is still necessary to use Lu Ya Dao as the core point of his calculations and use Lu Ya Dao's identity as the prince of the demon court to attract more karmic demons to appear.

The most ideal plan is to let the demon clan take the initiative to put pressure on Heaven and hold high the banner to rebel against Heaven. Then it would be logical and reasonable for him to take action to harvest the merits.

If compared with the entire human race, the current strength and foundation of the demon clan is far inferior;

But compared with Tianting, which had just started, it should not be underestimated.

Li Changshou counted in detail the matters he needed to deal with in the next few decades.

Heaven recruits troops, completes the reincarnation process plan, targets Lu Ya, secretly protects the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, and lets junior sisters understand the dangers of the world...

In principle, he still wouldn't take the initiative to plan these things.

The timetable for the Great Tribulation of the Gods has appeared in Nanzhou, and is guarded by Sister Kong Xuan and, ahem, fellow Taoist Kong Xuan;

Li Changshou just needs to take his time and make follow-up preparations at his own pace, without having to rush.

Being superior and anxious are the biggest enemies of a stable person!

Next, let’s talk to Junior Sister Youqin to see where her cultivation has been. Before she goes to heaven, try to raise her cultivation level to the heavenly realm as much as possible.

Hmm... We also need to arrange a scene for Youqin to 'formally intersect' with the Heavenly Water God, thus giving her a strong foothold and background.

After all, she was a fellow junior sister who went to heaven to help her, so naturally she couldn't treat her badly.

"Senior...Senior, are you there, senior?"

"Um?"

Li Changshou raised his eyebrows, and most of his attention fell on the paper Taoist hiding on the border between Nanfangbu Continent and Dongsheng Shenzhou. His celestial consciousness spread and he stared at the cave of the Black Panther couple.

The water demon Miaomiao was pacing back and forth in front of the cave, holding in her hand the jade messenger that Li Changshou had given her earlier.

What's going on here?

Li Changshou's paper Taoist stood up, checked his appearance, and made sure that he looked like the Taoist he had been showing off to the Black Panther couple, and then he rushed off in the clouds.

Immortal consciousness captured Black Panther lying on a stone table in the cave, sleeping soundly. There were two jars of immortal brew around him. He was obviously drunk by his wife.

This situation, this picture...

If the Black Panther saw this, he would definitely think that he, the "Old Master Lu Ya", had something to do with the water demon Miaomiao!

When he arrived at the cave, Li Changshou asked with a straight face:

"Why did you rush to find a poor man? And why did you get your husband drunk?"

The water demon bowed his head in salute and hurriedly replied:

"In the past few days, my husband has been thinking about Jie Jiao Xian and Jie Jiao Xian, and he also talked about going to Jin'ao Island for a trip.

I asked him what was wrong, and he said that he had been missing his old friends on Jin'ao Island recently and wanted to visit them.

Jin'ao Island is a Jiejiao dojo where many experts gather. We are just two little demon ears, so how dare we go there to visit? If this offends any master, wouldn't it be a fatal disaster?

Senior, can you give me some advice, my husband? "

"It doesn't matter," Li Changshou thought a little in his heart, frowned and said, "If he wants to go there, then just go."

The water demon frowned and asked in a low voice: "Is this okay?"

"It's okay," Li Changshou showed a little impatience, "You and he are husband and wife, and this matter should be discussed between the two of you. Pindao did not lock you here.

Pindao just thinks that Brother Black Panther's mouth is an extremely important skill for our demon race, so he pays a lot of attention to you.

The immortals on Jin'ao Island are sensible and speak nicely. If your husband didn't lie to you, then you might get some benefits on Jin'ao Island.

Don't feel inferior because of your demon clan background. Although our demon clan is not good now, we also had glory in ancient times. "

The water demon couldn't help feeling anxious and whispered: "If he goes, I won't go there anyway..."

"This is your husband and wife's business," Li Changshou waved his hand, "I have important things to do, so I won't stay with you for a long time.

Such a small thing, huh. "

After saying this, Li Changshou left in the clouds. The water demon was hesitant to speak, but could only bow and bow to see him off.

After sighing a few times, the water demon turned around and returned to the cave, carried the black panther to the bed, and activated the formation to protect the cave.

Black Panther is going to Jin'ao Island to visit friends?

What kind of chain reaction will this have on the Great Tribulation of the Gods?

Li Changshou pondered for a few times, and had a vague premonition in his heart. He felt that if the black panther moved, it would surely stir up the chaos of the ancient times.

On the contrary, we can take the opportunity to engage in a wave of land pressure...

Li Changshou's thoughts continued to expand, and he gradually narrowed his eyes with a smile.

…

Three days later, the Black Panther really set off from the cave, hiding all the way to the East China Sea, and headed towards Jin'ao Island on the edge of the East China Sea.

As soon as the Black Panther set out, the Heavenly Court issued a message to Wubuzhou to hunt down the remnant of the ancient Demon Court, Taoist Lu Ya.

The reason was also written in the letter, saying that Taoist Lu Ya had mastered a magic weapon that threatened the balance of heaven and earth, and that Lu Ya needed to be "captured and returned to heaven" as soon as possible...

As soon as this message was sent out, the human race immortal sect in Zhongshenzhou had very few reactions and almost ignored it.

——Although the Heavenly Court has begun to gain momentum, its influence and appeal are still lacking. There is still no Yazi who is the master of the three realms.

But when the monster clan heard about this, they first cursed at Heavenly Court, and then directly captured the key point.

Lu Ya Taoist, a treasure that threatens the balance of heaven and earth!

Is this a big deal?

Many masters of the Monster Clan instantly experienced a surge of pressure in their skulls. The monsters in the Monster Clan's territories on the borders of various continents rejoiced. The ancient monsters that had just settled down for a short time came out of the mountains one after another, waiting for His Highness the Crown Prince to raise his arms!

When the person involved got the news later, he was all... confused.
