My Senior Brother is Too Steady

In the Duxian Palace, Ji Wuyou looked at the sacred beast standing with its head held high, lowered his head again, and read the jade talisman in his hand for the fourth time.

Come on, come on!

The Archmage personally ordered it!

This seemingly ordinary jade talisman has such a profound Taoist charm remaining on it, making its material sublimated to some extent!

Ji Wuyou shouted:

"Quick! Go and arrange a circle for Senior Bai Ze!"

Several elders in the hall, as well as Li Changshou and Xiao Ling'e standing nearby, all fell silent at this moment.

Bai Ze's elegant face almost turned into a donkey's face.

"Master," an elder on the side quickly reminded, "please arrange a place to stay!"

"Ahem, cough! Yes! Arrange a place for Senior Bai Ze!"

Ji Wuyou quickly raised his hands and made a bow, "Senior, don't blame me, my Taoist heart was agitated for a moment, and I couldn't help myself. After all, it was the Archmage himself who gave the order."

The auspicious beast frowned and looked at Li Changshou, but the words Li Changshou said when he came echoed in his heart.

[Don’t say too much, don’t ask too many questions, just nod. 】

Bai Ze nodded slowly, his beautiful figure flashing with colorful light, making all the elders look in a daze.

Li Changshou said from the side: "Master, Senior Bai Ze likes to be secluded, why not find a hilltop near our Xiaoqiong Peak as a place for Senior Bai Ze to settle down.

Please also ask the leader to give an order not to disturb the senior's retreat. "

"Good," Ji Wuyou agreed immediately.

Bai Ze's eyes moved back and forth between Ji Wuyou and Li Changshou, and the corner of his mouth curled up, not wanting to tell the truth.

The whole process of settling Baize was generally smooth.

Apart from senior brother and sister Li Changshou, the only people in the Duxian Sect who knew where Bai Ze was coming from were Ji Wuyou and a few elders;

It is not difficult for Bai Ze to hide his figure from being seen by the disciples of Duxian Sect.

Ji Wuyou first used immortal power to form a barrier to wrap up the empty hilltop next to Xiao Qiong Peak, and asked Bai Ze to choose a place to live.

Hearing Li Changshou's voice again, Ji Wuyou took advantage of the situation and issued an order from the head, making Li Changshou fully responsible for supervising the construction of Bai Ze's cave, as well as the various formations of this 'Black Pond Peak', all of which were provided by Baifan Palace. .

The name Blackpool is just a deception.

After the leader and the elders left Black Pool Peak, Li Changshou whispered a few words to Ling'e, and Ling'e turned around and flew back to Xiaoqiong Peak, leaving Li Changshou and Bai Ze alone...

Bai Ze, who was lying next to a pool of water with a lifeless face, couldn't help but sigh quietly.

Li Changshou thought for a moment and sighed in his heart.

In the end, I still couldn’t kill him.

Previously, in Du'e's cave, he and the Archmage sang harmoniously, but only 70% of the time he was teasing and persecuting Bai Ze;

The remaining 30% is due to the differences of opinion between Li Changshou and the Archmage...

Li Changshou could clearly feel that the Archmage had a universal sense of justice.

The Archmage doesn't like cause and effect. Because he has a high level of Taoism and has been alive for a long time, he has seen too many joys and sorrows and the misery of living beings. Therefore, he usually shows a kind of indifference to the life and death of living beings.

But the Archmage is by no means a cold-hearted person.

Just like today, the Archmage felt that Bai Ze was not guilty of a serious crime and there was no need to kill him directly;

Moreover, Bai Ze wanted to join him. With his abilities and reputation as an auspicious beast, it was appropriate for him to join the Human Cult, so he kept teasing and urging Li Changshou to let Bai Ze go.

The Archmage can naturally think this way. After all, the Archmage has nothing to fear except saints...

But Li Changshou couldn't.

Already in the center of the whirlpool, Li Changshou absolutely did not want such a huge hidden danger to remain.

Especially, after learning that Bai Ze had been secretly observing him for so long, Li Changshou felt that most of his trump cards might have been spied on by Bai Ze!

Don't worry, I'm really worried.

However, Li Changshou and the Archmage did not argue. If there were differences of opinion, the Arch Mage and Li Changshou each took a step back and gradually reached a consensus in the process of running against Bai Ze.

Then, the two brothers took action at the same time, using their own confident methods to control Bai Ze...

In this process, Bai Ze seemed to be an innocent victim, but in fact he had achieved what he originally intended——

Join the people's religion.

The blow Bai Ze suffered at this time was not that he was controlled by the Archmage and Li Changshou, nor was it that Li Changshou easily broke through and found his hiding place.

It was he who misjudged the ambition of the Water God from the very beginning...

How come the promised generation of wise kings and overlords ended up not caring about hegemony in the world and only wanted to be free from anything?

What about the pattern?

What about the big picture?

No, what are the conditions of the Water God?

Standing behind him is the most powerful saint, and he stands in the general trend of Heaven. His calculations are astonishing, and his cultivation speed is terrifying. He even uses heavenly punishment every now and then to have an intimate interaction with Heaven!

Under such conditions, instead of making a name for himself and pursuing peace and quiet, isn't this kidding Bai Ze?

To be honest, Bai Ze has only seen the Water God among those who have been punished by God so many times and still survived.

Bai Ze naturally knew that this was because the Water God behaved in a measured manner. Even if he offended the person in the Zixiao Palace, he only punished the Water God slightly, and it felt like a master looking at his disciple, gnashing his teeth and hating him for not fighting...

Coupled with the increasingly harmonious relationship between the three religions due to the Water God...

Isn't it obvious that the Water God is one of the two emperors destined by heaven?

Therefore, when Lu Ya came to Bai Ze for help, Bai Ze saw that he could not get rid of the demon clan's karma, so he simply took a half step forward.

His strategy for Lu Ya was to advance before retreating. Could it be that he himself was trying to advance before retreating?

Can……

The sight is correct, the mind is settled, the stud is gone, and everything is gone.

Bai Ze 'got what he wanted' and successfully arrived at the side of the Water God. He became a hard-working man pulling a cart in the Human Sect. From now on, he will probably be seen dying next to the Water God himself. Let alone planning the great fortune of the world, he will really be able to do it in the future. Spend the rest of your life with peace of mind and sleep with heaven and earth...

Thinking of this, Bai Ze continued to sigh quietly and slowly closed his eyes.

Who can you blame for the path you chose?

Li Changshou seemed to be able to see through Bai Ze's thoughts and said with a smile:

"Senior, don't get lost. The human religion upholds tranquility and inaction, and my senior brother and I will not force senior to do anything more.

Senior has done us a great favor by not siding with the demon clan. "

Li Changshou's thinking changed very quickly.

[Since I can’t promote Bai Ze, I can only improve my favorability! 】

Bai Ze frowned and said: "There is no one else here, Pindao would like to ask my friend again, can you sincerely tell Pindao?

Fellow Taoist, are you serious and have no desire for power? "

Li Changshou smiled and said: "If my inference is correct, senior cannot explore where the power of heaven is stronger."

"Yes, I need to hide from heaven."

"No wonder seniors have such misunderstandings," Li Changshou shook his head slightly, raised his hand a little, placed two futons and a low table next to the pool, and made a gesture of invitation.

Li Changshou said: "Actually, senior has ignored the simplest truth. If I tell you, senior will be able to understand the cause and effect here."

"What kind of truth?"

"If I didn't have such a temper, if I didn't pursue peace and quiet, how could the saint of our human religion choose me?"

Bai Ze was startled for a moment, then became speechless. Then he buried his head in his front paws and sighed: "I am so smart, so smart!"

Li Changshou shook his head with a smile, leaving Bai Ze alone and depressed for a while before saying:

"Senior only needs to maintain his true form in front of outsiders from now on. When you and I meet in private, senior can do whatever he wants."

Bai Ze slowly raised his head, feeling much more relaxed than before. Apparently, he discovered his fatal mistake and temporarily accepted his current identity...

People teach coachmen.

Bai Ze returned to the figure of a middle-aged Taoist, with a teardrop-shaped red mark on his forehead, and a strand of long hair in front of his forehead turned into silver, adding a bit of a strange feeling to him.

Bai Ze was wearing a loose white robe and sat across from the low table. He smiled bitterly and said, "What on earth is this poor man trying to do?"

"There is more stability, less bumps, and the cause and effect is resolved."

Li Changshou paused and said with a smile: "Of course, there is also an extra shackle.

but……"

"What?" Bai Ze asked with a wry smile.

"Aren't the causes and consequences of this incident also proof of the senior's divine power of seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune?"

Li Changshou cupped his hands and chuckled, "It's really enviable!"

Bai Ze was a little confused about whether to laugh or cry. He wanted to complain about something, but he didn't know how to say it. He stared at the pool in a daze.

After a while, Bai Ze slowly exhaled, and his smile became a little more free and easy.

Bai Ze had a distant look in his eyes and said slowly:

"After ancient times, poor people thought that this life would be empty and empty, so they had to search for a long time, and finally find a deserted place, sleep peacefully, and live with the world.

I also met you before and saw the current heaven. I couldn't help but think of the difficulties of assisting the late emperor to create the ancient heaven and the difficulty of a strong saint clan. I wish to have my Taoist heart reborn.

I never thought that I was wrongly paying my attention after all. "

Li Changshou smiled and said: "What interest do I have in controlling the lives of countless living beings?"

Bai Ze said: "Wouldn't it be great to stand on the top of all living beings and watch the rise and fall of the world?"

“All living beings are not like this shallow green grass, much less are they not like these swimming fish that have not yet developed their spiritual wisdom;

They each have their own thoughts, desires, needs, confusions, and joys. They were born to walk a journey between heaven and earth, not to pay homage to the figure at the top of all living beings.

The desire for power is no more than one's own, so why use words like heroic, extraordinary, king, and supreme to beautify it?

After all, they are just stronger creatures enslaving weaker creatures to gain physical and mental satisfaction. "

Li Changshou took out a pot of wine and two jade bottles from his sleeve, and poured a glass of wine for Bai Ze.

"Senior, you should know what I'm talking about. Senior can be half invisible when the demon clan is at its peak. You shouldn't understand such a simple truth."

Bai Ze looked at the wine in the glass, shook his head with a chuckle, and sighed:

"It's really just the smoke of the past.

I never thought that my Taoist friend, who had only been practicing Taoism for a few hundred years, could see this truth so clearly when he only figured it out when the Demon Court was destroyed.

The desire for power is no more than one's own desire. All living beings are born in the world just to go through a journey between heaven and earth.

It is not unreasonable to lose to you..."

Li Changshou smiled, his eyes full of sincerity, and said: "Being able to win against senior is purely luck, and it is also the blessing brought by my junior sister."

"Then," Bai Ze held the wine glass and gently slid a little of it to his lips, with a slight smile on his gentle and handsome face, "Do you dare to say that you have no desire for power?"

"Relatively speaking, it should be lower," Li Changshou said with a smile, "I am not interested in ruling others. In comparison, I prefer purity.

On the contrary, it is the senior who has his own interest in assisting the Ming Master.

Could it be that he is also driven by the desire for power, but he lacks the courage to shoulder the cause and effect of all sentient beings, so he wants to gain his own sense of fulfillment and existence by assisting a living being to reach the top of all sentient beings? "

Bai Ze was startled, savoring Li Changshou's words carefully, and nodded slowly.

“Pindao does take pleasure in this, but it’s not because he doesn’t have the courage to shoulder the karma of all sentient beings, but because he feels that Pindao is not that good.

If I can help Master Ming reach that position a second time, and then retire with great success, I can leave my name as Baize in the world...

really!

Alas, now I can only think about it this way, hahahaha! "

Bai Ze laughed twice, his laughter full of regret, and drank the wine in the glass. When he raised his head, there was still a little light shining in his eyes.

Li Changshou smiled and said: "Senior, are you willing to serve the current court?"

"I don't want to," Bai Ze shook his head slowly, "and there are Taoist friends in this court today, and there is no place for a poor Taoist."

“Heaven has day and night, and Tao divides into yin and yang…

Well, this is not the time to talk about this. "

Li Changshou suddenly interrupted his words and deliberately left a little blank space.

It happened that Ling'e flew from outside the mountain, carrying a tray in her hand, and brought a few side dishes...

After a while, Ling'e put down the dishes, said "take it easy", winked at her senior brother, and floated away on the clouds.

However, Bai Ze became more energetic. He looked at the exquisite dishes in front of him and sniffed them gently. Without Li Changshou's greeting, he picked up his chopsticks, took a mouthful of white jade cabbage, put it into his mouth, chewed it carefully, and then praised it. :

"Although the taste is not good, the color is not complete, and the fragrance is too strong, it is packed with the heart of the junior sister towards the senior brother. It is commendable and commendable, hahaha!"

Li Changshou smiled and said, "Senior, do you also like delicious food?"

"When the poor Taoist spends his days in vain, the only pleasure is to make delicious food, taste it with others, and taste it alone." Bai Ze turned around and looked around, "This place is simple. When the poor Taoist builds a house, he can show it to his fellow Taoists." One hand."

"Senior, wait a minute. Since I am an expert in this art, I have to show my skills."

After saying this, Li Changshou threw out two paper Taoist figures and quickly buried the pot and built the platform here.

He personally went back to Xiaoqiong Peak, selected two precious and rare domestic spirit beasts, shot two plump spirit fish, and brought them back to Black Pond Peak.

Sometimes, having a common hobby is enough to bring them closer together.

Bai Ze took the initiative to initiate a battle to compete with Li Changshou in cooking.

After Li Changshou explained all the conditions, he nodded and agreed. The two acted as referees for each other, showing off their talents beside the barren mountains and pools.

Bai Ze has been immersed in cooking for many years, and his cooking skills are more than superior to Li Changshou's in all aspects. Every dish is extremely exquisite.

But Li Changsheng had many tricks and mastered new flavors that were rarely seen in the world. In the end, he relied on a thin slice of fish fillet, newly prepared horseradish, and the saying that "high-end ingredients often only require simple cooking." Shocked as a god.

The two of them then exchanged glasses, became slightly drunk, and seemed to have completely lost their hostility to each other.

After all, Bai Ze was under the control of Li Changshou at this moment, and he did not dare to put too much pressure on him, so he asked Li Changshou to call him by his first name and continue to discuss cooking skills in the future.

Li Changshou thought for a while and called Bai Ze 'Mr.'

As a result, Bai Ze gradually lost himself in the "Sir" one after another, and actually felt a little more close to Li Changshou...

But Li Changshou didn't think about completely improving his favorability today.

When they were chatting happily, Li Changshou gathered his thoughts and deliberately pierced a scar on Bai Ze...

"Mr. Bai, this time you and I are competing. Although my victory is due to my junior sister's luck, it is also related to Mr. Bai's self-imposed cocoon."

Bai Ze couldn't help but frown, "How can I trap myself?"

Li Changshou held his right sleeve with his left hand, poured the warm wine into the Bai Ze cup, and said with a smile as if talking about something casual:

“The power of the Tao is difficult to calm down, the numbers of heaven are difficult to determine, and the hearts of living beings are difficult to rest at ease.

In the past, on the top of Buzhou Mountain, Mr. made an alliance with the demon gods, created a holy clan, and gained the power of heaven. He fought against the witch clan and fought for the world. He assisted the demon emperor, was appointed as the demon commander, and enjoyed the respect of the demon clan.

The Hou Demon Court gradually fell into decline. Mr. cherished his reputation and retreated bravely from the rapids. Although he was separated from the cause and effect of the Lich War, he was not separated from the cause and effect of the demon clan.

This time, Lu Ya asked his seniors for help, but his husband didn't care, so he gave Lu Ya the strategy of gathering demons to conquer the sky, sacrificing the demon clan, and fulfilling the destiny of heaven, Lu Ya, and his husband himself.

In his previous conversation with me, my husband mentioned the difference between the saint race and the demon race;

The husband regards himself as a noble saint and has a lot of dislike for the vicious demon clan. However, he has forgotten that the saint clan and the demon clan are just two terms.

You are all one clan in the records of Heaven.

The gentleman should have stood on the side of the demon tribe, but he pushed the demon tribe to the edge of life and death without hesitation. Isn't this an act of bad luck? How to win? "

Li Changshou sighed slightly, raised his wine glass, and continued:

"Now that the main character here is the human race, your actions are right from the outside, and they will praise you for your righteousness.

But Mr. Bai...

Since you have become a gardener and enjoy the pleasure of cultivating flowers and watching them bloom, you have to endure the loneliness of flowers withering and falling into mud. This is the way of gain and loss, and the way of balance between heaven and earth.

I am not asking Mr. Bai to assist the demon clan again. At this time, Mr. Bai is under my control, and the demon clan and I are also in opposition.

But I, Li Changshou, don’t want to become the next demon clan or the next demon emperor in Mr. Bai’s eyes.

Therefore, I did not seek Mr. Bai's calculations, planning, or other skills. When the Archmage wanted to save his life, I never let go of my murderous intention towards him.

Sir is not a creature worthy of admiration, nor is he a talent that I despise.

Only those who neither come when they are famous nor leave when they are at a low point can be called a famous person in the ancient times.

At this moment, sir, he is not worthy. "

After saying that, Li Changshou drank the wine in the glass and stood up slowly.

Bai Ze frowned tightly and stared blankly at the cups and plates on the low table in front of him. He didn't even know when Li Changshou left.

When Bai Ze came back to his senses, there was only Li Changshou's voice...

"I will come back to have a drink with Mr. Bai in three days. I hope Mr. Bai can refute what I said today.

After all, a true friend is hard to find. "

[The first way to increase favorability: attack the heart]
