Chapter 568 Yuanshi Talks About the Great Catastrophe [Asking for Monthly Votes]
Seeing the miserable appearance of Long-eared Dingguang Immortal, the immortals from the two religions who initially participated in this large-scale armed fight made a wise choice not to resist, and were invited back to heaven by the heavenly soldiers and generals for accountability.
There were only about fifty immortals taken away on both sides.
But no one dared to speak out to stop this, which highlighted Li Ping'an's deterrent effect on the immortals of the two religions today.
Or intimidation.
Li Ping'an turned around to go back to Yuxu Palace, Taoist Duobao quickly shouted: "Your Majesty!"
However, he took the initiative to hide the word "Master Nephew".
Li Ping'an turned around and said with a smile: "What's wrong, uncle? You don't have to worry. The Queen Mother will not embarrass the immortals. She just asks according to the rules. Except for a few immortals with ulterior motives, the others should be released soon." ”
"Hey, this happened today."
Taoist Duobao sighed with a smile:
"Just make arrangements, and no one will have any complaints.
"That's right, that Rabbit Immortal is my master's attendant immortal after all. Today he got his butt kicked... by you. His reputation is completely ruined. Even our Jiejiao disciples will be embarrassed by him.
"You have to give us an explanation for this matter, post a notice to the outside world, and explain why such a criminal law is used."
Li Ping'an pondered for a few times: "This is just a whim of mine, it really wasn't intentional."
The corners of Taoist Duobao's mouth twitched slightly, his expression clearly saying, 'I believe you are a ghost.'
Li Ping'an smiled secretly.
He did it intentionally, in order to make the Rabbit Immortal lose face and damage the Rabbit Immortal's prestige within the Jie Sect.
The effect now is very obvious.
Many of the wise Jie Jiao Immortals looked at the Rabbit Immortal with a bit of disdain.
Li Pingan said slowly:
"Master, you also know that I have always been unwilling to compromise the combat power of living beings. From my understanding, living beings are an indispensable and important force if we want to successfully survive the final catastrophe.
“I can’t let go of a creature like this that is obviously trying to stir up trouble.
"You can't just kill him as a warning to others. This Long-eared Dingguang Immortal is an expert in interception. I don't want to go too far."
Taoist Duobao sighed softly: "He is usually like this. He is called Master Rabbit by his disciples on various islands, so he thinks very highly of himself and is a bit arrogant. However, it would be a bit too much to say that he intends to provoke disputes. , He is very timid.”
Li Pingan shook his head with a smile: "Okay, then I will order the Heavenly Court to issue a notice to the outside world, saying that this Long-eared Dingguang Immortal has acted boldly and insulted the Emperor of Heaven, and he will be taught a lesson by the Emperor of Heaven."
"That's fine," Duobao sighed softly, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Li Ping'an took the initiative to invite: "Master, why don't we go to Yuxu Palace together and listen to Master's sermon."
Taoist Duobao sneered: "Forget it, the second junior uncle has always looked down on me, so I won't let him get offended by going to his old man's house. I will take my junior brothers and sisters away."
"That's fine too."
Li Ping'an made a bow and said seriously:
"Master, I also ask you to restrain Jie Jiao and his subordinates, so that they don't confront each other with Chan Jiao like this anymore.
"The Taoist Immortal Conferring God Tribulation has already made me feel quite powerless. There are plans by the Transcendents, Hongjun Taoists and several saints. Intercepting the teachings is the primary target of the Tribulation. I should try my best to be cautious and not be taken advantage of. ”
"Okay, let me tell you more about them."
Taoist Duobao agreed.
However, when Li Ping'an saw Taoist Duobao's appearance, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Uncle Duobao probably didn't take his words seriously.
Duobao led the masters of the Jiejiao Sect to escape, but Gui Lingling was stopped by Li Pingan secretly.
She jumped in front of Li Pingan with the Immortal Killing Sword, looked at Li Pingan with her big and smart eyes, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong? I didn't do anything just now."
Li Pingan asked in a voice: "Have you not gone to see my master recently?"
"No, she's not in seclusion."
Gui Lingling's big eyes suddenly narrowed into a crescent shape, she lightly touched Li Ping'an with her elbow, and said with a smile:
"Did Qingqing take you down? Hehe."
Li Ping'an had several black lines hanging on his forehead.
A group of Chan Jiao Immortals were still watching from behind. Why did they start asking such a very personal matter?
Li Ping'an said: "I don't know the specifics. She is in retreat very urgently. She should have made good progress in practice... I just thought, uncle, if you are fine, you can go to my master's place to stay for a while, and then I will be granted the Taoist Immortal Award." God’s calamity, don’t show up anymore.”
Guangchengzi came from behind on a cloud.
Gui Lingling pursed her lips and looked up at Li Pingan.
She is quite familiar with Li Pingan, and she has witnessed Li Pingan's growth.
Li Pingan's intention was to help her escape from the catastrophe, but...
"Of course I can do it myself, but what should I do with so many fellow disciples?"
Gui Lingling sighed softly, patted Li Ping'an's arm in an old-fashioned way, and said seriously:
"Ping'an, I have already felt your filial piety, but this matter should be based on my thoughts.
"Even if you are really killed by Dajie, I won't blame you.
"You will definitely take advantage of me, right?"
Li Ping'an's expression suddenly became a little colorful.
"Don't say such unfavorable words. Don't worry. Although all forces are plotting, I will take the overall initiative of Fengshen. If this game can be played, I will play it. If it cannot be played, I will just overturn the table.
"However, I will not take the initiative to protect most of the disciples of Jiejiao.
"You are like that Ma Yuan. Although you don't have many karmic obstacles, your treasures are forged from the souls of living creatures. There are too many problems left over from ancient times."
"Okay, I got it! Then I'll go see Qingqing first, and come back to Biyou Palace later!"
Gui Lingling waved her hand:
"Go and do your own thing. After the catastrophe is over, I'll show you my skills!"
Li Ping'an nodded with a smile, and watched Gui Lingling leave.
Gui Lingling could have avoided the catastrophe long ago, as she already had a high position in the Heavenly Court;
But she also had her own entanglements that she couldn't let go of.
Li Ping'an really couldn't judge this Jiejiao.
On the one hand, the disciples in Jiejiao were all very righteous, and Zhao Gongming and Gui Lingling could represent most of the Jiejiao immortals. They really went forward when something happened, and they would stick their swords in their brothers' ribs without blinking an eye.
On the other hand, Jiejiao was full of mixed people, and it was full of filth.
Before, Li Ping'an had always used the excuse that the karma of the Jiejiao immortals came from the damage to the heaven and earth itself during the battle, so that he could feel at ease using the power of the Jiejiao immortals to help the Heavenly Court.
But now, the catastrophe has come, and the karma of Jiejiao is still their biggest burden.
Compared with Jiejiao, what is missing from the Xianjiao?
Although the human touch of Yuxu Palace is a little weak, the strict rules and clean foundation of Xianjiao, plus the disciples rarely do evil in the world, there are not many karmas in Xianjiao.
Xianjiao once helped the human race. No matter what the motive of Xianjiao is, it has indeed made great contributions to the development of the human race.
Xianjiao also invested in the Heavenly Court, and the support of Yuxu Palace is also an indispensable help in the construction of the Heavenly Court.
Li Pingan naturally felt that he could not be biased against Xianjiao because of its weak human touch.
Nor could he look down on Jiejiao because of its internal unity, loyalty and righteousness.
This is not a question of balancing water;
This is actually the principle that must be followed by the Emperor of Heaven.
Li Pingan secretly said in his heart: 'In the future, I will treat Xianjiao and Jiejiao equally. I can't make decisions that are biased towards Jiejiao because of my personal preference. ’
While he was thinking, Guangchengzi had slowly approached, flicked his whisk, and bowed.
Guangchengzi smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for rescuing me today."
"Master, what are you talking about?" Li Pingan said with emotion, "I just didn't expect the two families to really fight. It's like this before the catastrophe officially falls. When the catastrophe really falls, it will be terrible."
Guangchengzi pondered for a few times: "It's hard to sort out everything here for a while. I can only say that both sides have some faults. I have asked Junior Brother Yuding to call Junior Brother Huanglong back, so that he won't really kill Ma Yuan."
Li Pingan: ...
For some reason, he always felt that Guangchengzi's words were a little hypocritical.
Favorability minus one.
Li Pingan said, "Uncle Master, thank you for your trouble."
"This is just for the sake of reconciliation between the two sects and not to increase hatred."
Guangchengzi sighed softly, and then changed the subject:
"There is another matter here, and I dare to ask Your Majesty to agree."
Li Pingan nodded with a smile: "Uncle Master, please tell me."
"It's like this..."
...
Li Pingan has actually experienced many strange events.
But today he was really enlightened.
He never expected that this Uncle Master Guangchengzi would represent the Chan Sect to help a Jie Sect immortal who tried to anger the Chan Sect immortals and cause a war between the two sects to plead for mercy!
Although Li Pingan did not show much expression, he secretly complained in his heart, and then summoned a heavenly general in front of Guangchengzi and dictated an order.
The content of the order was very simple, asking the Queen Mother to go through the process, post the notice as soon as possible, and not to punish too much.
The general took the order and led the team away.
Li Pingan smiled and followed the Chan Sect immortals back to Yuxu Palace.
The highlight of today is naturally Yuanshi Tianzun's preaching.
When Li Ping'an came back, he did not look for Taiyi Zhenren again, but went straight to stand in the corner.
Not long after, guests arrived in Yuxu Palace one after another. The main guests were from Kunlun Mountain, and most of them were well-known figures in Kunlun Mountain.
When these masters saw Li Ping'an, there were only two reactions.
One was to go straight forward and have a cordial conversation with Li Ping'an, meet him face to face, and get to know him.
The other was to bow from a distance, which was considered to express respect to His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven, but would not deliberately make friends with him and be accused of currying favor with the Emperor of Heaven.
Gradually, heavyweight masters appeared one after another.
There were Golden Immortals who practiced in the four continents, Taiyi who was hidden in the original Xuanyuan Palace of the human race, and several ancient Daluo who had long been regarded as disappearing in the Chaos Sea.
Most of the immortals invited by the Chan Sect brought their disciples or friends with them;
Without exception, they were all peaceful, upright, and blessed.
When the conference was about to officially open, Shennong and Zhenyuanzi came together and talked with Li Pingan in the corner of the immortal hall for a while, calling each other Taoist friends.
Ding——
A melodious bell sounded outside the Yuxu Palace.
Li Pingan raised his hand to invite Shennong and Zhenyuanzi to the front of the guest seats, while Li Pingan rode a cloud to the side of the South Pole Immortal and sat down next to the futon used by the saints.
An old Taoist riding a deer came outside the hall, in a hurry and with a worried look on his face. He was the deputy leader of the Chan Sect, the Taoist Randeng.
After entering, the Taoist Randeng bowed to the left and right, and then sat on the futon next to Yunzhongzi.
When Randeng sat down, several immortal lights chasing each other appeared on the saint's seat, and Yuanshi Tianzun, dressed in a white robe, slowly appeared.
All the immortals stood up and saluted;
Everywhere shouted the saint.
Because Li Ping'an was the emperor of heaven and was closest to Yuanshi Tianzun, when Yuanshi Tianzun returned the salute to all living beings, he nodded slightly to Li Ping'an.
He said: "Your Majesty, the Emperor of Heaven, please take a seat, fellow Taoists, and let the disciples recite the scriptures."
So the immortals returned to their seats, and hundreds of disciples of the Chan Sect sat in an orderly manner opposite the guest seats and began to recite the Chan Sect scriptures.
For a while, the main hall of Yuxu Palace was filled with fairy light, and clouds of celebration floated out from here. Some of the registered disciples and outer disciples of the Chan Sect outside the hall sat on the ground to comprehend eagerly.
After three days of reciting the scriptures, the fairy light converged.
Yuanshi Tianzun slowly spoke:
"The great catastrophe has come, and all living beings are in distress. As the leader of the sect, I should solve their doubts.
"Today, I have come from Kunlun Mountain to explain the catastrophe of the Taoist immortals' deification. If fellow Taoists have any questions, you can ask at any time.
"Where is Jiang Shang?"
Jiang Ziya, who was sitting outside the hall, was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly stood up, lowered his head and rushed into the hall door, bowing his head in front of the hall door.
"Disciple Jiang Shang, I greet the teacher!"
"You can move forward a hundred steps and sit beside the senior brothers."
"Yes! Disciple will follow the teacher's teachings!"
Jiang Ziya walked forward quickly, and really walked a hundred steps, one more step is not too much, one less step is not too little, just walked to the side of Qingxu Daode Zhenjun, one of the twelve golden immortals of the Chan Sect.
There is really an empty cushion here.
Jiang Ziya sat down with his chest and head raised, and his whole body was full of "I'm not nervous".
How could the immortals here not understand that Jiang Ziya was related to the Taoist immortal's confidant catastrophe when they saw this scene?
Yuanshi Tianzun no longer mentioned Jiang Ziya, and began to explain the catastrophe and how to deal with it.
He first said:
"The catastrophe of the Taoist immortals is caused by the Great Dao.
"The Heavenly Dao is the will of heaven and earth, and it is also the protection of all living beings. It was born for the resonance and intersection of heaven, earth, and man.
"Because the heaven and earth have an end, the will of the heavenly way is to resist this catastrophe. We, the living beings, should conform to the heavenly way.
"The Daoxian Conferred God Tribulation is actually the heavenly way to collect the authority of the Great Dao and make the power of the Great Dao return to the heavenly way.
"Therefore, anyone who says that the Daoxian Conferred God Tribulation is a conspiracy of the heavenly court is a fallacy, and anyone who says that the heavenly way intends to destroy living beings is a false theory.
"This heaven and earth have been nearing the end of their existence since ancient times. If they follow the natural birth and death, living beings will have no place to stay. Although I am a saint, I cannot bear to see living beings destroyed, and I do not want to see the heaven and earth return to chaos. From today on, I will explain the Great Dao, hoping that the heaven and earth will last forever and living beings can live.
"Do you have any doubts, fellow Taoists?"
An immortal asked: "May I ask the saint, why is the Taoist immortal's conferred divine calamity related to Nanzhou? Nanzhou is just a mortal place for our human race."
Yuanshi Tianzun said slowly:
"Nanzhou is the place where the human race prospers, and it is also the place where the human race has good fortune.
"In this world, 80% of the fortune belongs to the human race, and 80% of the fortune of the human race belongs to Nanzhou. In ancient times, the emperor of man passed on the throne, so Nanzhou was the orthodox emperor of man. Although there is no practice in Nanzhou now, the spirit power of the creatures is strong, and it is still the place where the fortune of the human race gathers.
"This catastrophe was initiated by the Heavenly Dao, but it was just borrowing the luck of the human race to offset the great luck of the Dao Sect."
Another immortal asked: "I don't understand why only half of the Nanzhou Juetian formation was opened? Why must the Qi-refining practitioners who enter Nanzhou be suppressed?"
Yuanshi Tianzun smiled and said in a gentle voice: "This matter was written by His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven, why don't you ask the Emperor of Heaven?"
Li Ping'an, who was listening to the lecture with great interest:...
Yes, he knew that he would not be able to sit in a high position for nothing today.
