Chapter 539 Meeting an Acquaintance in the Underworld
"What are you doing, fellow Taoist?"
Taoist Hongjun, who had been kicked in vain, looked at the old man in front of him with some annoyance.
The old man Wangri scolded: "What else are you doing? You couldn't help but insist on plotting the way of heaven! Now it's better, the infant spirit of the way of heaven was born early, and was arranged by Taiqing to be my precious apprentice as a son!"
Taoist Hongjun could only smile bitterly when he heard this.
He said slowly: "The appearance of the infant spirit of Heavenly Dao is beyond your control. Heavenly Dao is constantly moving towards perfection. How can fellow Taoists blame me?"
"If you hadn't planned the way of heaven before, how could the way of heaven develop today?"
The old man Wanri picked up a futon and sat down cross-legged with a depressed look on his face.
Hongjun sighed: "The schemes of my fellow Taoists cannot be resolved by a small Heavenly Dao Infant Spirit, so why worry about it?"
"How can I feel at ease when there are so many variables here?"
The old man said calmly:
"It's not clear that your realm is too low. The so-called potential is accumulated bit by bit.
"There are many variables here, there are many variables there, they are changing, and maybe we will disappear."
Hongjun just shook his head: "Since Taoist friends have made arrangements, it's better to proceed according to this plan."
"What you see is just a plan that concerns you."
The old man said:
“I’m still hesitating whether to do more.
“Sometimes too much is too much and too much is wrong.
"But if the matter of the Heavenly Dao Infant Spirit does not intervene, it may really affect the final outcome. The magnitude of this impact is not less than one thousandth."
Hongjun said calmly: "Fellow Taoist, you are too unsure."
"Is there any?" Old Man Wanri sneered.
"If I am a fellow Taoist, why bother?"
Hongjun was somewhat disapproving:
"Now facing the Six Saints of Heavenly Dao and Pangu Yuanshen, my Taoist friend's chance of winning is at least 70%. Why not give them a try?"
"Pattern, your pattern is still too small after all."
Old Man Wanri glanced at the sarcophagus placed in the distance.
He said leisurely:
"For me, the worst-case scenario is just not to take action on this world, and just find another world to wait for the world to decay.
"There is no real vitality in the current world. No matter how hard they try, they are just gradually consuming their own vitality in a closed system.
"So, what are we in a hurry for?"
Hongjun smiled and shook his head: "Pindao is just a puppet and plaything of fellow Taoist, I just need Pindao to take action and fellow Taoist will inform you."
After saying this, Hongjun closed his eyes and concentrated, sitting quietly to practice.
The old man Wangri asked for his own displeasure, got up and walked back to his sarcophagus, leaning against the sarcophagus for a moment in trance.
"Even if one is born with the will of Heaven, he should not be able to make any trouble."
"But why am I a little uneasy?"
"Yes, it is not a rare thing for Tiandao to become a spirit. What is rare is that my disciple has joined forces with Tiandao who has become a spirit."
"Don't really surprise me."
The old man still felt that he should do something.
…
Back pain often occurs after working hard for the peace of heaven and earth.
It was already more than half a month later when Li Ping'an appeared in the Lingxiao Palace holding his waist.
It's fine now. All the ladies in the family are pregnant. The nine-turn pregnancy elixir given by Laojun is really easy to use and can affect all the innate beings.
Now Li Ping'an still has a few of these treasure pills on hand, and he can recommend them to his father later.
As soon as he sat down here, King Dong came with a group of ministers in the clouds. After saluting, he began to sing praises.
This one said: "Your Majesty has devoted all his energy and courage to strive for the stability of the world, which is really admired by me."
The one shouted: "Congratulations to your majesty for becoming a fairy father."
King Dong also said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, there will be two new royal highnesses in the heaven. It is truly a double happiness!"
Li Ping'an's smile couldn't help but feel a little more embarrassed.
He waved his hand and said seriously: "How are the Qi refiners from all over the world reacting now?"
Dong Wang said with a smile: "This matter has basically subsided, and your majesty's reputation is even greater. However, there are still some rumors circulating in various places. I have ordered Tianfang Pavilion to search for the source of the rumors. I believe they will be stopped soon."
"Severely punish those who spread rumors."
Li Ping'an slumped back in the throne and breathed a sigh of relief:
"This matter can be considered to be passed safely, it is really a disaster in heaven.
"Do the heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals have any complaints?"
Dong Wang said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the Heavenly Soldiers of various ministries are also discussing the matter of the Heavenly Tribulation. Fortunately, there has been no delay in the deployment of the various departments. The loyalty of the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals to the Heavenly Court has also withstood the test. Today, the matter of the Heavenly Tribulation has subsided, and the generals I have more respect for His Majesty.”
"Don't say nice things. It's mainly Laojun's credit that this matter can be solved."
Li Ping'an thought for a moment and said slowly:
“Next, several preaching conferences will be held in the heaven.
"King Dong, please organize it and invite at least ten Taiyi Golden Immortals to take turns preaching in each department of the Heavenly Arms.
“It can be regarded as a reward from heaven to all the heavenly soldiers.
"This is not about winning a foreign war, nor can it reward treasures and merits."
"Yes, I have recorded it."
Li Ping'an asked: "What is the reaction of Western religions?"
"Lingshan has always been closed."
Dong Wang smiled and said:
"Your Majesty, you shocked Lingshan before, and it was quite effective.
"During this turmoil, a large number of Qi Refiners went to the vicinity of Lingshan, but the leaders of Lingshan were completely silent. No matter how much the human Qi Refiners ridiculed them, Lingshan disciples only practiced in the large formation.
"Three days ago, Lingshan sent someone to deliver a message, saying that he was receiving the order from Taoist Yin.
"The message mentioned that you explained to the public that the heavenly calamity was not caused by the saints in the West. The Taoist Jieyin was quite pleased with this. He would like to invite you to Lingshan as a formal guest later."
Li Ping'an sneered: "Are they trying to show us goodwill?"
The ministers smiled but said nothing.
"Don't be careless," Li Ping'an said, "The King of the East will send a general to pass on my message later, saying that it is not necessary to be a guest, but just to discuss the matter."
"Yes, I will arrange it later."
The King of the East bowed his hands and accepted the order, and began to report the daily affairs of the Heavenly Court.
Li Ping'an also calmed down, approved the appointment of more than a dozen minor gods, and arranged work goals for the six ministries in the next six months.
After two or three hours of busy work, the ministers took their leave and returned to Tongming Hall.
Li Ping'an was about to go back to accompany the pregnant women at home to appreciate flowers and feed fish, cultivate sentiments, and relax their bodies and minds, but an uninvited guest came to Lingxiao Hall.
It was indeed an uninvited guest.
The Peacock Fairy was wearing a long green dress and a cloak with colorful clouds on her shoulders. She exuded a holy aura and looked like she was going on a long journey.
Li Pingan asked with a smile: "Where are you going, Fairy?"
"Nowhere."
The Peacock Fairy said coldly with a stern face:
"Today I came here to ask your Majesty only two things."
"Fairy, please feel free to ask."
She said: "Is your Majesty's Phoenix Clan Battle Body no longer reappearing?"
Li Pingan thought for a moment and said slowly: "The Battle Body and the Body are no longer distinguishable. The blood left by Senior Shifeng is still there, but they are mixed and difficult to distinguish."
"Okay, let's just assume that your Majesty is now the Phoenix Clan Battle Body."
The Peacock Fairy said:
"Then your Majesty is willing to lend the Taoist body to my Phoenix Clan?
"Recently, it has been rumored in the Heavenly Court that your Majesty has made the Queen Mother pregnant. If such a congenital power can be pregnant, it must be no problem for my Phoenix Clan.
"Your Majesty should have the secret medicine made by Taishang Laojun in your hand.
"Your Majesty, please give me a straight answer today. Do you agree or not to continue the bloodline of the Phoenix Clan?"
Li Ping'an said solemnly: "I'm sorry that I can't do this."
"Why?" Peacock Fairy asked puzzledly, "Is it because I'm not beautiful enough, or because I'm not feminine enough?"
Li Ping'an stood up and walked down the platform, saying as he walked:
"Fairy, don't misunderstand me. Fairy, you are beautiful and beautiful, and you are also a first-class woman. If I covet the beauty of the fairy, I would have been reluctant to accept the fairy.
"Most human beings value feelings. We have a friendship of fighting side by side. If the fairy is in danger, I will rush to support her as soon as possible.
"But you said that the love between men and women... this is really... a bit forced.
"Fairy, think about it. Putting aside Senior Feng's last words, what do you think I am looking at?"
The fairy was honest: "A very powerful creature, food that I may not be able to beat."
The food is too much!
Li Ping'an shrugged: "I think the fairy is also a strong man in the world, a flawless and powerful creature, but that's all."
Fairy Peacock thought: "I think I understand. There is a lack of feeling between you and me."
"That's right."
Li Ping'an took the initiative:
"I also met a woman before. She was the shopkeeper of a brothel at that time. I was also on the verge of being moved at that time.
"But after missing a few opportunities, we no longer have that feeling between each other.
"Maybe this is fate, or fate without fate."
Fairy Peacock said: "Then as long as you and I have that mysterious feeling, are you willing to help our Phoenix clan continue the bloodline?"
"Continuing the bloodline doesn't necessarily require the two of us."
Li Ping'an smiled:
"There is a development direction for the art of no spirit, which is about bloodline inheritance..."
It seems impolite to say genetic hybridization.
"In short, fairy, please don't mention this anymore."
"That's fine," said the Peacock Fairy, "In that case, I don't have to worry about it and go to the Chaos Sea to find a place to take shelter."
"A place to take shelter?"
"Yes," her voice became softer, "According to my mother's instructions, I should go to the Chaos Sea to find the old land left by the Phoenix Clan. It will probably take a hundred years to return."
Li Ping'an smiled bitterly in his heart.
Okay, the escape faction has appeared again.
After all, the Phoenix Clan is the hero of the creation of the world, and Li Ping'an can't tie the Phoenix Clan to the world now. After a little thought, he can only bow and say a blessing.
For such things, we can only respect the individual's choice.
The Peacock Fairy bowed and turned to leave. Before leaving, she turned her head to look at Li Ping'an, with a look in her eyes that Li Ping'an couldn't understand.
What's wrong?
Li Ping'an glanced at his clothes. He was used to wearing black robes, and he was dressed as usual today.
"Your Majesty," Peacock Fairy suddenly said, "How about we play a game?"
"Game?" Li Ping'an wondered, "What game?"
"When I return a hundred years later, I will not approach Your Majesty in this identity. If Your Majesty is attracted to the woman at that time, it will fulfill the matter of my Phoenix Clan's reproduction."
Peacock Fairy said slowly:
"I am not forcing Your Majesty. If Your Majesty still has no feelings at that time, I will treat Your Majesty as a brother and sister in the future, and I will also help this world try to survive the end of the catastrophe.
"How?"
Li Ping'an smiled casually: "Interesting, I agree."
"In this case, see you in a hundred years."
Peacock Fairy nodded slightly, her figure turned into a five-color divine light, and disappeared outside the Lingxiao Palace in an instant.
Li Ping'an raised his hand and touched his cheek.
Is he that handsome?
Why are all the powerful women rushing to pay for it?
Or is there really some weird saying, the powerful women killer?
Li Pingan looked at the Yunling Pill in the Cangyue Pearl, thought for a while, and still used the power of heaven to seal the pill with the Heavenly Emperor Seal.
‘This thing is much more powerful than the Fountain of Youth, maybe it will be useful in the future. ’
After saying that, Li Pingan stretched his waist and turned to fly towards his ‘small harem’.
Both wives are pregnant, so he has to be more diligent.
It’s just the duty of a male.
…
When Li Pingan rushed to the underworld, it was five days after the Peacock Fairy left.
He originally got a chance to send Xiao Nian’s soul to reincarnate and practice.
The underworld allows backdoors.
If a Qi cultivator has relatives or friends who unfortunately die, but they don’t die of old age, and they still have lifespan to use, the underworld can help operate and let the fallen people reincarnate and practice again.
——Those who have died of natural causes must not be reincarnated and cultivated, they must reincarnate normally.
The Heavenly Court mostly ignores this.
This example is not set by the Underworld. In ancient times, Fuxi and Xuanyuan were reincarnated and cultivated through the secret land of the Blood Sea, the predecessor of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. This door existed before the Underworld was established. There is no reason why this door should be closed to Qigong practitioners after the Underworld was established.
Li Ping'an came today and also took the back door.
According to the unwritten rules of the Underworld, human Qigong practitioners can enjoy different degrees of preferential treatment in the Underworld according to their own cultivation level.
For example, ordinary Yuanxians who come to the Underworld will generally be driven away by the ghost messenger.
No matter what level, dare to come to the Underworld to interfere with the normal operation of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
If a Qigong practitioner from the True Immortal Realm comes to the Underworld with enough treasures, he may be led by the ghost messenger to the two marshals of the Ox-Head and Horse-Face.
Qigong practitioners from the Heavenly Immortal Realm are very powerful. They don't need to take treasures. They only need to owe the Underworld a favor, and probably the Underworld will be accommodating.
The Qi-refining masters of the Golden Immortal Realm do not have to come in person. If they are employed in the Heavenly Court, they can take a token to the judge, and the judge of the Underworld will open a convenient door.
The Emperor of Heaven came, and Hou Tu personally received him.
In the secret realm of the Wheel of Reincarnation.
Li Ping'an handed the orb that contained Hao Xiaonian's soul to Hou Tu.
Hou Tu checked the state of the soul and said softly: "Your Majesty, her life span in the last life has ended."
"Hmm? Not an unexpected death?"
"Not really," Hou Tu said softly, "If Your Majesty wants her to reincarnate with her memories, such a small matter is also possible. The burden on the reincarnation disk is minimal. After all, she is just a mortal."
Li Ping'an asked: "Xiao Nian? Do you want to reincarnate with your memories?"
"Can you not bring them?"
Hao Xiao Nian's muttering came from the orb:
"Most of the memories left in this life are not very good. Don't bother you. It's good enough for me to reincarnate."
Hou Tu stroked the orb with a smile and said softly: "In this case, I will mark you, so that Your Majesty can find a disciple later."
Li Ping'an smiled and said nothing, watching Hou Tu send the orb out of the secret realm and into the reincarnation.
He felt something in his heart and knew the family where Hao Xiao Nian was born.
"Your Majesty," Hou Tu asked softly, "Do you need to intervene in the true spirit of the fetus that the Queen Mother is carrying?"
"No," Li Ping'an said, "The true spirit is already there, and it should be a true spirit that has never reincarnated between heaven and earth."
Hou Tu nodded slightly, but there was a bit of worry in her eyes.
"Did Daoyou encounter any difficulties?"
"Not difficult," Hou Tu said, "The Daoist Immortal Conferred God Tribulation is coming, and I don't know if it will affect the mortals, and I don't know if it will cause great suffering."
Li Ping'an sighed, "I can only say that I will try my best to avoid it, and I dare not guarantee anything else... Eh?"
He suddenly exclaimed softly, turned his left hand, and took the Sky Survey Mirror, which revealed a scroll on it.
Hou Tu tilted her head to look at it, and the Sky Survey Mirror showed the outside of the gate of Fengdu City.
Two old women bowed their heads and followed behind a proud and arrogant general, flying towards Fengdu City in a swagger.
Li Ping'an was quite familiar with this general.
This is Niu Benben, the leader of Kuangshan.
