My Senior Brother is Too Steady

In the samsara disk, three or two figures sat opposite each other. Archmage Xuandu crossed his arms and nodded constantly, but it was always the junior brother beside him who spoke.

The Archmage also felt a little emotional.

He watched helplessly as Li Changshou gradually replaced him as the talker...cough!

He saw with his own eyes that Li Changshou reached his current position step by step and became the most trusted immortal god of the Jade Emperor. He talked freely in front of the saints and was deeply trusted by Empress Houtu and several saints.

If we look back on the past, everything seems to have originated from the Poseidon Cult in the South China Sea.

An opportunity to change a life is vividly explained by Li Changshou;

But the answer to how much effort it takes to seize the opportunity can also be found in Li Changshou.

However, the Archmage can be sure that he is the teacher’s favorite disciple!

Well...probably.

After Empress Houtu said goodbye to the incarnation of Qiqing, the grass ring was sealed by Empress Houtu with her magical power and handed over to Li Changshou.

The empress' eyes were a little reluctant, and her slender fingers gently traced the grass ring.

Li Changshou said: "Your Majesty, I intend to ask the Holy Mother to create a perfect Tao body, and then reincarnate Xiao Ai and the others through the Reincarnation Tower."

Hou Tu frowned slightly and said softly: "This goes against the law of reincarnation. Thousands of creatures should be the same, and they shouldn't be special because of me."

"My Lady, there is no need to worry," Li Changshou said sternly, "There must be flexibility under the iron rule, otherwise how can a pool of stagnant water be alive?

And this matter is not all due to the great virtue of the empress. The incarnations of the seven emotions all have great magical powers. Those who do not have a Taoist heart as solid as a rock cannot resist it, and they definitely cannot be reincarnated like ordinary creatures.

Don't worry, Madam, I have obtained permission from His Majesty the Jade Emperor in advance for this matter. Later, I will give out the reincarnated soul at the Reincarnation Tower and then go to the Palace of the Holy Mother.

As long as my senior brother is escorting me, I will be careful in every aspect, so please rest assured, my lady. "

Hou Tu showed a faint smile and nodded gently, "Thank you very much, longevity."

"this……"

Li Changshou was suddenly called by his real name. He was slightly caught off guard. He lowered his head and put the grass ring into a jade box, put it in his arms, and said with a smile:

"Your Majesty, please call me Chang Geng."

Hou Tu's eyes became gentler and he said softly: "When I came back to pick up your master's soul, I accidentally saw some memory fragments. I didn't mean to pry."

"By the way," the Archmage asked, "Is the soul of fellow Taoist Qi Yuan here?"

Li Changshou's face darkened. For some reason, in front of the Archmage, the tip of his nose felt sore.

After a while, the Archmage and Li Changshou stood by the treasure pool with their hands folded, looking at several golden light balls floating up and down in the water.

The Archmage sighed softly, bowed to the treasure pool, and said warmly:

"That's not bad. It's better to be reincarnated and cultivate again than to turn into a withered leaf and wither."

"Master is already in calamity," Li Changshou sighed, "God's will cannot be violated."

The Archmage was worried that Li Changshou's vigor would be frustrated, and encouraged him: "It is difficult to disobey God's will, but it is not impossible to disobey it. The way of Heaven is based on all living things, and is driven by all living things at the same time, and evolves in one direction.

This is the principle that general trends cannot be changed and small things can only be calculated mentally. "

Li Changshou tasted it carefully and said, "Thank you, senior brother, for your guidance."

Master Xuandu smiled and said:

"Alas, in a few decades, I won't be able to guide you anymore... The balance of all things will limit the way of heaven.

The path you take to live a long life is destined to compete with the way of heaven;

But how you fight and how much you fight is up to you. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Don’t forget that after all, you are just a living being in the world.

Everything follows your heart, follows the Tao, and is natural and casual, only then can you achieve success. "

So, this is Archmage’s theoretical support for you to skip work if you want to?

Li Changshou thanked him and wrote down these words.

The two of them stayed by the pool for a while, and strolled around the edge of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk for a while before exiting the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk and rushing to the Reincarnation Tower.

With the protection of the Tai Chi diagram, all ghosts will be undetected and unchecked.

Grand Master Xuandu looked at the layout of the major changes inside and outside Fengdu City, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid you are the only one who can use millions of heavenly soldiers as craftsmen."

Li Changshou smiled and said: "His Majesty the Jade Emperor is quite enlightened."

"Speaking of this, you should also pay attention," Archmage Xuandu said, "Uncle Jade Emperor is a brother, so you can rest assured, but Uncle Jade Emperor is the person closest to the way of heaven, and he is the second most affected by the way of heaven. Mr. Yu Daozu.

If God wants to bring disaster to you, Master Jade Emperor may give you some orders, but you must be careful and consider them carefully. "

Li Changshou pondered for a few times and then replied in a voice: "Senior brother, don't worry, I have been prepared beforehand.

The things I do for heaven are actually divided into two types. One is my active calculation to earn merit for myself, ahem, for the stability of heaven and earth.

The other is that His Majesty the Jade Emperor takes the initiative to explain, such as the post of Chang'e's head teacher. "

"As long as you can tell the difference," the Archmage stretched, "Chang'e, Chang'e, there is also a clan master named Wu Gang in the Moon Palace.

He is Chang'e's bodyguard and the favorite general of the ancient human emperor. Be careful when you climb over the wall. He will not be polite to you if he catches you. "

Li Changshou's forehead was covered with black lines: "Brother, why should I climb over the wall?"

"Hey, you want to come in blatantly? After all, Chang'e still has the title of the wife of Dayi. You have this... reputation, junior brother!"

The archmage raised his eyebrows slightly, and the corners of Li Changshou's mouth twitched.

Okay, bear with it.

Later, I will take you to the Shang tribe to create a warm atmosphere for you, and bring forward the schedule of the two major personal education events that the teacher told you.

Gee, I don’t know how beautiful Kong Xuan will be after he confirms his gender and transforms into Kong Xuan.

With the Tower of Reincarnation in sight, Li Changshou and the Archmage looked at each other. Without communicating or discussing, they directly revealed their true form, released their pressure, and calmly floated over.

"Senior brother, Ksitigarbha is a Western disciple after all."

"Well, hit it hard this time to prevent his elbows from turning inward in the future."

Duan is full of tacit understanding.

…

Heavenly Court, Lingxiao Palace.

The civil servants and military generals gathered together, and several famous heavenly recordkeepers sealed their bronze mirrors.

Although Youqin Xuanya is very active now and has established preliminary 'prestige' in the Heavenly Court, her immortal status is not enough to enter the Lingxiao Palace to discuss affairs, so she has not been seen today.

Look at this:

The Jade Emperor in white is sitting on a high platform, and the old god is playing a reward to the water god.

The name of the second-level god is Taibai, and he does not enter the stars and is on the side of Fengjun.

Mugong said loudly: "Your Majesty, since the water god entered the heaven, he has repeatedly performed extraordinary feats, solved your majesty's worries, and worked hard for the rise of the heaven.

First, he decided on the Four Seas and summoned the Dragon Clan. He stood up at the Peach Banquet and spoke eloquently to the disciples of the Western Great Sect. He also rescued the witches of Beizhou, defeated the demon clan's plot several times, and destroyed both the body and spirit of the demons who wanted to disrupt the sky.

The water god innovates and governs, repairs the laws of heaven, rectifies the underworld, and creates tomorrow's will.

To this day, the Water God's achievements are enough to rank him among the second-tier gods in heaven.

In order that the Water God can better assist His Majesty, I am bold and ask Your Majesty to make the Water God a second-level righteous god! "

As soon as these words came out, all the immortals and gods became silent.

Mr. Dongmu, I am an old mouthpiece.

Every time Dong Mu Gong starts to speak impassionedly about something, it is His Majesty the Jade Emperor who conveys the 'result' of the matter to them through Mu Gong's mouth.

The water god's promotion was an unexpected event.

It's the same as before, the power in the hands of the second-level righteous god in heaven was comparable to that of the third-level water god.

But at this time, they, the heavenly gods and gods, did not dare to stand up and plead for the Water God. After all, His Majesty the Jade Emperor still made the decision in Heaven, and the Water God only assisted His Majesty the Jade Emperor.

I heard the Jade Emperor laugh twice and said: "Today it is time to raise Chang Geng to the second level. Which god position do you think is suitable?"

There was silence below for a while, and then General Youtian stood up and shouted: "Your Majesty, why not make the God of Water the Grand Marshal of the Heavenly Arms and Horses? This second-level divine position is in charge of the military affairs of the Heavenly Court, which is quite consistent with the God of Water."

A civil servant suddenly frowned and said: "Your Majesty, I think it is inappropriate.

The water god is not a heavenly general, but the water god is unparalleled in resourcefulness and should serve as an example for the civil servants of heaven. "

The Jade Emperor smiled and nodded, thinking that this was reasonable, and said:

"Everyone expresses his or her own opinions. Let's discuss this matter carefully today."

When Mu Gong heard this, he immediately stopped talking, knowing that His Majesty the Jade Emperor wanted to hear if he had any other better opinions.

Immortals and gods spoke out one after another, and some believed that the Water God should become the great emperor, that is, the position of the four emperors. The real territorial official of the heaven was located under the Jade Emperor.

But someone immediately retorted, saying that the water god should sit in the heaven and should not be sent out.

It wasn't until the twelve second-level righteous gods' positions were discussed that they felt that none of them were suitable for the Water God.

Ao Yi asked if he could add a second-level god position and let his leader brother become the Great Dragon God of the Four Seas or something, so that other gods and gods who still wanted to take advantage of the glory could instantly say no.

——Which system the Water God is in, this system must be taken seriously.

At this time, Mugong stood up and took out the arrangement that he had discussed with the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor nodded with satisfaction and let the gods and gods continue to discuss.

At the same time, in the reincarnation tower of the underworld.

The Archmage and Li Changshou were sitting on two wooden chairs, and Ji Zang was sitting on a futon by the window, frowning tightly at this time.

Ksitigarbha sighed: "Water God, the first time you came to my Samsara Tower, you actually wanted me to be selfish... This is too much. You are looking down on me."

Li Changshou smiled and said: "It's a bit wrong to say this, fellow Taoist, how can this be favoritism?

The Great Virtue Houtu transformed into the Six Paths of Reincarnation and served all sentient beings regardless of his own gains and losses. At this time, he just borrowed the reincarnation tower to do something for Queen Houtu. This is the private matter of Queen Houtu, and it is also the official business of those of us who work for the way of heaven.

Or, fellow Taoist, are you deliberately trying to embarrass Empress Dowager Tu? "

The corner of Ksitigarbha's mouth twitched and he sighed:

"Water God, you have such a mouth, I really can't speak for it.

The incarnation of Pindao once made a great wish here, to treat all living beings equally, not to be influenced by the forces of all parties, and not to open the door for Western religion.

At the same time, I need to act according to the rules set by the Water God. Why did the Water God personally ask me to break such rules today? "

Master Xuandu said calmly: "Then this matter should be attributed to the Water God. Just say that the Water God asked you to do it."

Ksitigarbha smiled slightly and said: "Among the Heavenly Dao, it seems that the Water God is now ranked behind Pindao. The Water God cannot give orders to Pindao."

Archmage Xuandu frowned and looked at Li Changshou.

Li Changshou shook his head helplessly. He was indeed only a third-level righteous god. At this time, Ksitigarbha was already a god in the underworld, second only to Houtu Empress.

At this moment, a golden light flashed and fell on Li Changshou, and the rich power of heaven transformed into various strange phenomena.

The clouds are like twigs, the glow is all over the place, and the sound of brisk music floats out from the top of the Samsara Tower.

Li Changshou realized it carefully, couldn't help but smile and narrowed his eyes, and said calmly:

“Ksitigarbha, the master of the Samsara Tower, obeys orders.

Open the reincarnation tower and transform the seven emotions into the spirit of reincarnation. The god will protect this spirit and find a place to live. "

Ksitigarbha sensed it carefully and frowned: "The way of heaven is so unbalanced that..."

"Don't get me wrong," Li Changshou said with a smile, "calculating the time, it happens to be the time when His Majesty the Jade Emperor convenes the immortal gods for discussion as usual. It should be a reward based on merit and promotion of my divine status.

Although the specific appointment requires the will of Tongming Palace, at this time in the sequence of heaven, this god happens to be before you. "

Ksitigarbha was speechless for a moment, and Master Xuandu almost laughed out loud.

Click, click, click, brisk footsteps came from the side. Di Ting used her magic power to hold a tray and came up to serve fragrant tea to Li Changshou and Master Xuandu.

"Water God, don't be angry, don't be angry...

My master has a bad temper. He asked me to talk to him carefully. You drink tea first. Drink tea.

Now my master and the Water God are both working for Master Tiandao. Please take care of me in the future. He doesn't understand anything and thinks he is on Lingshan Mountain. "

Ksitigarbha glared at Ting Ting. Ting Ting swiped his tail, crossed his two front hooves, and lightly beat Li Changshou's leg.

The Archmage looked amused and said with a smile: "This tea is quite good."

Di Ting shivered and did not dare to say anything more.

"Accepting the divine destiny of water," Jizo said through his teeth, then turned around and looked at the scenery outside the window.

The Archmage gave Li Changshou a look, and Li Changshou understood. He immediately stood up, walked to the window sill, leaned against the window edge, and crossed his arms.

Li Changshou said: "We fought over and over again, but I never thought it would end like this. You and I have become co-workers.

Let's talk calmly, I have actually been waiting for this day for a long time. "

"The Water God is ridiculous," Ksitigarbha said calmly, "But the Water God's defeated general is here to linger and end his life."

Li Changshou smiled calmly, took out the essence of "The Theory of Routine", the three major classics of Stable Sect, organized his thoughts, and said slowly:

"How wonderful it would be if you and I were not on opposing sides and had no previous grudges."

[Routine 1, cherish each other. 】

Ksitigarbha's brows twitched slightly and said, "The Water God's plan is above mine. I have to admit this."

"You don't have to always call me Water God. Just call me Chang Geng."

[Routine 2: Call someone by name to get closer. 】

Ksitigarbha suddenly hesitated, sighed softly, and said: "Chang Geng."

"Ksitigarbha," Li Changshou asked with a smile with stars in his eyes, "Actually, I changed my mind about you because when you jumped into the Tower of Reincarnation that day, the peace in your eyes did not waver at all.

This is indeed what an extraordinary immortal can do, and you deserve my admiration. "

[Routine 3: You can wear a lot of clothes, but you can never wear flattery. 】

Ji Zang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It's just that I was forced to have no choice, Pindao himself became the teacher's best strategy.

To some extent, I can't help myself, and I don't think about all sentient beings. "

Li Changshou smiled and said: "The Empress Hou Tu has transformed into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and she has also considered stabilizing the final destiny of the Wu Clan, but can we deny her great virtue? Of course we can't.

In fact, you are also like this...

In terms of virtue, I am not as good as you.

I just suppressed you with my divine status, and I would like to apologize to you. I just wanted to do something for Empress Houtu. I hope you can understand. "

[Routine 4: Offer a high hat, play hard to get, retreat in order to advance, and stimulate empathy. 】

Ksitigarbha's voice softened a lot, and he said: "I will do my best to do this. Before, I just vented my anger with you, Chang Geng, but I still can't accept the current situation in my heart.

How can a humble Taoist man dare to compare himself to a great virtuous man?

Today, even if the poor man is punished by heaven, he will definitely make this happen. "

Li Changshou smiled and nodded, saying: "You and I share this responsibility...

Ksitigarbha, do you have any ideals?

In other words, when you are practicing Taoism and have never been exposed to these major conflicts, have you ever thought about why you are practicing Taoism? "

"Of course I want to live forever and explore the true meaning of Tao... Chang Geng, why are you laughing? Is it really so vulgar?"

“It’s commonplace, but it’s true.

It’s much simpler for me. I’ll just live until I die. When I first started practicing Taoism, I didn’t even dare to think about immortality. "

In the faint light of the Samsara Tower, the two people by the window were talking and laughing, as if they were old friends for many years.

Behind, the Archmage was drinking tea calmly. When he heard movement from the side, he saw Diting covering his eyes with a paw and sighed softly:

"My silly master..."

The Archmage pointed a finger to freeze Di Ting in place.

stable.

…

A moment ago, in the Lingxiao Palace.

"The decree was sent to the Tongming Hall, and Chang Geng Aiqing was granted the title of Taibai Star Lord, the second-level righteous god in heaven, not among the stars.

He is in charge of the transformation of heaven and earth, the killing and conquest of heaven and earth, and the water affairs of the three realms. He has the power to supervise the immortals and gods in heaven. For those whose divine status is less than the fourth level, Chang Geng Aiqing appoints and removes them at his own discretion.

In addition, Chang Geng Aiqing also served as the chief tutor of Chang'e in the Moon Palace, and the Water God Palace was renamed Taibai Palace.

When the will of Tongming Hall is finalized, Taibai returns to his throne, and the three realms celebrate together. "
