My Senior Brother is Too Steady

The wind on Yuntai is warm and the winding paths are fragrant.

In a pavilion on Sanxian Island, seven figures are standing or sitting, all of them are the eldest disciples of the teaching.

The expressions of each immortal at this moment are different.

Taoist Master Duobao is the most calm, holding a cup of hot tea with a smile and slowly sipping it;

Zhao Gongming and Our Lady of Jinling looked a little impatient and were pacing back and forth in the pavilion.

Yunxiao was sitting in the corner of the pavilion, with her long hair tied around her temples, wearing a light Confucian skirt, her face was cold and beautiful, but she didn't show much emotion, she was always gentle, looking at her two sisters.

Qiong Xiao, who was wearing a light yellow dress, Bi Xiao, who was wearing a short skirt and coat, and the Virgin Mother of Turtle Spirit, who preferred a light green gauze skirt. The three fairies gathered on both sides of the stone table in the middle of the pavilion. Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao While we were playing chess, Our Lady of Turtle Spirit was pointing and pointing beside us...

The expressions of the three of them were the most relaxed, as if the matter here had nothing to do with them.

The crisp sound of 'ta-da', mixed with the chirping of birds and insects carried by the wind, made this moment in the pavilion quite peaceful.

Outside the pavilion, Zhao Gongming turned around and wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he just sighed and continued to pace with his hands behind his back.

Qiong Xiao watched the chess game with her wonderful eyes, held a round chess piece with her slender fingers, and said with a smile:

"Brother, you can just say what you want. We are here to discuss countermeasures. If you don't say anything, how can we discuss it?"

"well……"

Zhao Gongming sighed: "What can I say about this?

Chang Geng has a good friendship with us, but after all, he is a disciple of the Human Cult, and he wants to be in charge of this catastrophe...

I actually know that Chang Geng has always been worried that we will fall into disaster. Whenever he wants to do something to gain merit, he will call you and me together, in order to have more protection during the disaster.

He has done enough for us. We can't rely on Chang Geng for everything. "

"Um...ah?"

The Holy Mother Turtle Spirit, who was wearing a thin light green dress, said in surprise: "Is there such a good thing as collecting merit?"

Qiong Xiao rolled his eyes, his expression was exactly the same as Bi Xiao's, with a hint of disdain and pride.

Qiong Xiao said: "I haven't encountered him a few times anyway."

Bixiao said: "That's right, that's right! The disciples of the Human Sect are always partial!"

To the side, Taoist Duobao smiled and narrowed his eyes. Just as he was about to make a joke, he subconsciously glanced at Yunxiao...

Bear with one hand, bear with the other.

As a senior brother of Jie Jiao, you should pay attention to the rigor of your own demeanor and speech.

Mother Turtle Spirit thought about it carefully and asked in a low voice: "Aren't we discussing how to capture the Blood Sea Red Lotus? Why are we stuck with Junior Brother Chang Geng instead?"

Zhao Gongming explained:

"If the Hong Lian story is indeed true, we will definitely fight for it.

There is 80% chance that Chanjiao will fight for it, which is understandable. There is no reason why we must intercept and teach such a treasure.

In this way, Chang Geng's attitude becomes very important. "

"good."

The Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit answered from the side, holding her jade arms and leaning on the railing on one side;

Her slender figure had some natural charm, but unfortunately it was completely obscured by her own coercion.

Listen to the Jin Ling Holy Mother say: “If you don’t work with Chang Geng, it’s hard to feel how powerful he is.

By predicting the enemy's opportunities, judging the enemy's path, and then giving a comprehensive response, you can face the sage's calculations and rely on your own quick wits to deal with them.

Such a person can borrow several treasures from Uncle Taiqing at any time to protect himself. He also possesses the unpredictable Way of Balance. He is now the leader of the great catastrophe and the most powerful god in heaven.

What's more, this junior brother's attitude is, to a certain extent, that of his uncle.

If he is fought over by the Chan Sect, our chances of winning the red lotus to suppress the Sect's fortune will be extremely slim. "

Holy Mother Turtle Spirit pursed her lips and blinked, thinking for a while.

Bixiao whispered: "Is the prospective brother-in-law already so powerful?"

"Sister," Qiong Xiao said, "What did you say in the letter you just sent him?"

Yun Xiao said softly: "Just ask him not to be embarrassed, to judge the matter from the position of a human disciple, and not to let personal affairs affect his own judgment."

Hearing this, Holy Mother Jin Ling frowned slightly, feeling a little dissatisfied with this, and asked again and again:

"Junior sister Yunxiao, aren't personal relationships important?

He and you are about to become Taoist couples, why can't you use this to win him over to our Jiejiao side?

You are a disciple of the saint Jie Jiao, and he is a disciple of the saint Jie Jiao. If they are a match made in heaven, Ren Jiao and Jie Jiao should be closer to each other. Why can't you get some benefits from him? "

Fairy Yunxiao said softly: "Senior sister may not know that my relationship with him has no intention or action, but we are just happy for each other, and we are at peace with each other like a lonely goose in the clouds.

He has already done too many things that he shouldn't have done because of me. How can I use this relationship to make him deviate? "

There was a hint of determination in the eyes of the Golden Spirit Mother: "Junior sister, do you only care about the love between the two of you, but don't care about the righteousness of the sect?"

"The personal relationship between children is the personal relationship between children, and the relationship between teachers and teachers is the relationship between teachers and students. Why do they have to be confused?"

Yunxiao stood up, her plain white dress sliding like running water without leaving any wrinkles.

In her gentle words, there was an unyielding firmness:

"As I said in the letter to him, if Senior Brother orders me later, you and I will go to the sea of ​​blood to search for the twelve-level karma-obstructed red lotus, and I will do what a Jie Jiao disciple should do.

If personal feelings are used to interfere with friendship, or if feelings are used to interfere with personal feelings, it is impossible to do both. "

The Holy Mother Jin Ling was about to speak again. Zhao Gongming and Taoist Duobao rushed forward and stole the ball almost at the same time.

Zhao Gongming said hurriedly: "I think what the second sister said makes sense, but what Jin Ling said is also good."

"Two junior sisters, don't argue, don't argue," Taoist Duobao said with a smile, "Red Lotus hasn't been born yet, maybe the whole thing is a plan of the second leader of the Western Sect, so that we can have a dispute with the Chan Sect."

Bixiao snorted softly: "Chanjiao has no shortage of treasures to suppress the religious movement, so why are you arguing with us?"

Our Lady of Jinling said calmly: "They certainly don't want to see us live in peace.

The few disciples I sent to search for Honglian's whereabouts in the Blood Sea all found traces of the Chan Sect disciples.

If the great catastrophe is destined to destroy the three thousand immortals of the great sect, Chan Jiao naturally hopes that the share of these three thousand will fall on our Jiejiao and Western sects. "

"Alas," Qiong Xiao pinched the chess piece and gently tapped her pretty face, "Who wants to kill himself or his fellow disciples? This is all within reason, but there is no need to blame Chanjiao too much."

Taoist Duobao laughed:

"Let me tell you, are you thinking too far ahead?

Now that the horoscope has not even been written, I start to think about what benefits we can gain by taking the red lotus?

Brother Zhaowei said that this time, if there is a twelve-pin red lotus, it is best, but if there is none, there is no need to worry. Anyway, it will not make the current situation worse, so why bother about it? "

"Eldest brother, you are what you call free and easy!"

The Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit shook her head and said no more.

“In this way,” Zhao Gongming said, “those of us who are very familiar with Chang Geng should not show up directly this time to avoid Chang Geng’s embarrassment.

Senior Brother and Junior Sister Guiling, why don't you two go to the Netherworld first and discuss this matter with Chang Geng.

I guess they should send someone over from Chanjiao. "

"I'll go too, okay sister?"

Qiong Xiao asked aloud, not forgetting to slowly move the pieces, and saw the situation on the chessboard changing, and the chess pieces made of jade emitted a crystal light.

With five pieces in a row, you have won!

Bixiao patted his forehead in annoyance. This plaything from Xiao Qiongfeng actually made Sanxian Island a lot more fun.

Fairy Yunxiao thought for a moment, nodded gently, and agreed.

The six top disciples of the Jie Jiao discussed again for a while, and finally decided that the senior brother of the Jie Jiao, Taoist Duobao, would take the inner sect's top disciple Gui Ling Sheng Sheng and the outer sect's top disciple Qiong Xiao to go to the Netherworld to discuss with Li Changshou about the twelfth grade. The red lotus thing.

Qiong Xiao changed into a dignified long dress and dressed up carefully. She looked like a 'bright little fairy, a beautiful lady with boundless beauty'.

After Qiong Xiao had packed up, Duobao opened the earth cave, and Qiong Xiao and Turtle Spirit Madonna got into it. The three quickly left Sanxian Island and rushed to the Netherworld.

Yunxiao walked to the edge of the pavilion and looked at the horizon. The breeze blew a strand of green silk around her ears. The delicate hands hidden in the soft sleeves were holding the warm copper coin.

"Junior Sister Yunxiao."

A soft call came from behind, and Our Lady of the Golden Spirit whispered: "I am not dissatisfied with you just now. You and I have known each other for many years, and I also know your temper. Don't take it personally."

Yunxiao turned around and chuckled, her beautiful eyes full of smiles.

Zhao Gongming said: "I don't know whether the twelve-pin red lotus is true or false. The timing of its appearance is too subtle."

"There must be someone plotting behind this," said the Golden Spirit Mother, "either a Western religion, a saint, or someone we don't know. Don't be careless."

Fairy Yunxiao murmured to herself: "I don't know how he should deal with it."

Accompanied by the murmur, this concern followed her eyes on the clouds, drifted to the horizon, and reached Li Changshou's ears.

…

Ding!

Ding ding ding——

Samsara Tower, on the wooden ladder leading to the top.

The big green-haired dog, which had shrunk by more than half of its size, was slowly climbing to the top floor with a trembling step, carrying a tray filled with tea cups.

Di Ting ran to Li Changshou first, handed him a cup of tea with his immortal power, and said with a smile: "Master Water God, drink tea, drink tea."

A blue vein popped up on Jizo's forehead.

Then, Di Ting turned around, ran to Bai Ze and squatted down, holding a cup of tea in his two front paws: "Mr. Bai Ze, drink tea, drink tea."

There were cross veins popping up on Ksitigarbha's forehead.

Still unconscious, Di Ting used her magical power to push the two cups of tea to Golden-winged Dapeng and Wei Shenmo, and said in a warm voice: "It's a humble house, but the two marshals have worked hard."

The two heavenly marshals expressed their thanks.

finally!

Di Ting was trembling all over, holding the last cup of tea tremblingly in front of the strong man who turned into a green cow.

“S-Senior, drink tea!

Those who serve as mounts in the three realms all want to reach your level and be able to carry the saint master everywhere! "

Qing Niu smiled calmly, took the tea cup, raised his hand and touched Di Ting's head.

In an instant, Di Ting's green and white hair was dyed a little pink, and she ran behind Li Changshou. The whole divine beast man stood up and helped Lord Water God beat his back.

Wei Shenmo frowned at this scene, a little...

stay.

Is this the divine beast that can listen to the voices of all beings in the three realms?

Thump, thump, thump!

And over there, the young Taoist who is sharpening a knife and setting an iron pot is really the master of the Samsara Tower who was moved by his previous incarnation in the Netherworld, Ksitigarbha?

"Uh," Wei Shenmo couldn't help but rub his eyebrows, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Li Changshou said slowly: "If you listen carefully, will you know what happened to Honglian?"

Di Ting hurriedly said: "Lord Water God, the red lotus thing should be true, but the little beast doesn't know where the red lotus is hidden."

"The Western Church searched in the sea of ​​​​blood before, but what was the result?"

"The Western Church is sending this..."

"Hmm!"

Jizo coughed hard and showed the short knife in his hand.

Di Ting shivered a few times, turned around and glared at his master, and then continued: "Don't mind, Lord Water God, my master still has feelings for Western religion.

I will never tell you, Lord Water God, that the Western Sect has sent thousands of creatures, from saint disciples to Hongmeng ferocious beasts and karmic monsters, into the sea of ​​blood and searched for a long time, but finally left without finding anything.

Then there was news that the twelve-pin red lotus was about to be born. "

Ksitigarbha snorted, threw away the short knife in his hand, and said calmly: "The Water God might as well stay and have a meal today. I heard that Mr. Bai Ze has a good craftsmanship. I don't know how many times he has made braised mythical beasts!"

Di Ting grinned, ran back behind Ji Zang, and lay down calmly.

Bai Ze smiled slightly: "Such cooking is harmful to the harmony of heaven... Since Taoist Ksitigarbha has been included in the order of heaven, why should he consider himself a disciple of Western teachings?"

"I originally thought that cultivating Taoism and seeking immortality was the reason for my freedom. It was not until my enlightenment became clear that I realized when I looked back that everything stemmed from just two words, heel."

Ksitigarbha said slowly: "Just like the water god, ever since we stepped into a portal and cultivated a magical power, we have been branded with such an indelible mark.

Many mortals cannot travel hundreds of miles in their lifetime;

Although you and I, immortals, can travel through three thousand worlds and even explore the sea of ​​chaos, we still have to remember where our roots are, otherwise our minds will be confused. "

Li Changshou gave a thumbs up: "Fellow Taoist seems to be really relaxed recently, and he has so many insights into immortality."

"Hmph," Ksitigarbha put away his smile, "I will definitely not help you find the twelve-pin red lotus today."

"Yeah?"

The eyes of Li Changshou, Bai Ze, Qing Niu, Wei Shenmo, and Golden Winged Dapeng all fell behind Ksitigarbha.

There, Di Ting held a wooden sign in his mouth, with several large crooked characters painted on it.

[Hell, karmic evil spirits;

Honglian is absorbing karma]

"Um?"

Ksitigarbha turned his head and glanced, and the wooden sign beside Di Ting's mouth made a swishing sound. Di Ting quickly swallowed it into his mouth and chewed it calmly for a few times.

"what are you eating?"

"Master, in order to express my respect for Senior Qingniu, I tried to figure out the unique skills of the Ox tribe and chewed the cud of the last meal I had."

Jizo suddenly had a look of disgust on his face and moved his position to the side.

Li Changshou stood up at this moment and said with a smile: "Since fellow Taoist Ksitigarbha is unwilling to help, then forget it, let's go."

The other four masters agreed and stood up to say goodbye to Ksitigarbha and Diting.

Ksitigarbha didn't get up, he just sat there with his eyes closed and meditated.

After leaving the Reincarnation Tower, Li Changshou frowned and thought for a while, thinking about the method Di Ting had given him.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that this method is really feasible.

If we could find an evil soul with enough karma in the eighteen levels of hell and whose soul power is not too strong, wouldn't it be equivalent to putting a 'mark' on this power of karma?

Then, as long as we trace the flow of the power of karma and throw in more ‘samples’, we may be able to find the whereabouts of the twelve-level karma red lotus!

It's better than waiting here.

Wei Shenmo asked: "What does the prompt Na Di listen to mean?"

Li Changshou smiled and explained the method he had just thought of in the language of ancient monasticism. Except for Bai Ze, the other three people all looked astonished.

Qingniu smiled and said, "This is really smart."

"It should be Ksitigarbha who is reminding us," Li Changshou said, "It's just that Ksitigarbha still has persistence that he doesn't want to let go of, so he borrows Di Ting's hand like this."

Wei Shenmo smiled and said, "Why can't Di Ting make the decision on his own?"

"Marshal," Li Changshou said warmly, "that wooden sign doesn't have any restrictions at all. Ksitigarbha has some immortal knowledge after all."

Wei Shenmo patted his forehead, his smile mostly filled with emotion.

"Let's go, let's go to the eighteenth level of hell to choose..."

Li Changshou paused for a moment, looked at the light passing over Fengdu City, and said with a smile:

"Let's split into two groups, a few senior brothers from Chanjiao have arrived.

I would like to trouble Mr. Bai and Jinpeng to take my token and select suitable karmic souls. I will receive a few senior brothers here. "

"good."

"Teacher, don't worry!"

Bai Ze and the Golden-winged Dapeng each agreed and turned around to rush to the Immortal Island of Reincarnation in Fengdu City.

The few streams of light flying turned into four figures, which were none other than Chi Jingjing, Huanglong Zhenren, Taiyi Zhenren, and Yuding Zhenren. A light shadow flew out of Taiyi Zhenren's sleeves, but Lingzhuzi also came with him. .

Master Huang Long seemed to be afraid of the awkward atmosphere. He started laughing as soon as he landed, fully displaying the ancient social etiquette.

Both parties greeted each other. Wei Shenmo and Qing Niu stood behind Li Changshou, not showing much presence.

Chi Jingjing glanced at Taiyi Zhenren, but the latter had his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky, completely speechless.

Li Changshou took the initiative and said, "Senior brothers, they should be here for the Honglian matter."

"That's right," Chi Jingzhi showed a gentle smile, and just as he was about to continue speaking, the world beside them suddenly collapsed into a circular pit, and three figures immediately jumped out of it.

The fat Taoist at the front smiled calmly: "It's better to come early than to come by chance. This is really a coincidence."

Chi Jingzheng frowned slightly, and immediately led several Chanjiao Immortals to salute him, calling him 'Senior Brother Duobao'.

Holy Mother Guiling and Qiong Xiao did not come forward to salute, but just nodded.

Representatives of the three religions, Ren Chanjie, met unexpectedly.

Although it wasn't raining continuously, the atmosphere was indeed not too harmonious.

Li Changshou thought about it for a while, and was about to invite a few people to the Heavenly Soldier Camp to sit and talk...

"Uncle Chang Geng!"

Ling Zhuzi took the initiative to jump in front of Li Changshou, showing an innocent and bright smile, "I want to go back to heaven to continue practicing for a while!"

"That's right," Li Changshou raised his hand and patted Lingzhuzi on the shoulder, encouraging him, "You can only achieve good results if you don't forget to make progress."

Master Taiyi curled his lips and said, "Sure enough, raising a disciple is like raising a daughter, even if she can be kidnapped."

Red sperm suddenly showed a little smile.

The three Jiejiao immortals looked at each other a few times, each feeling a little bit of pressure.

At this moment, Qiong Xiao smiled and jumped in front of Li Changshou very naturally. She bowed slightly to Li Changshou, then naturally stretched out her two slender hands and took Li Changshou's arm.

The lips are moistened and the teeth are white, the voice is vibrating softly, and the Bailing is gentle and soothing:

"Brother-in-law~ I also want to play in heaven."

Li Changshou's whole body froze, and his hair stood on end. He wanted to move but couldn't. At this moment, every movement he made might be over-interpreted.

Chi Jingzhi and Huanglong's foreheads were covered with black lines, and they subconsciously looked at Taiyi.

Go up, can’t lose!

Master Taiyi immediately took half a step back, hid behind Master Yuding, and said:

"What are you thinking about? Chang'e is not my sister!"

The corners of Li Changshou's mouth twitched crazily, feeling that he had been kicked out of the group for no apparent reason, with a "danger" sign on his forehead.

The two small hands that seemed to be holding his arms were pinching each other hard...

Fortunately, the only one moving outside at this time was the [high-level, main body] Paper Taoist. The main body was hidden in the sleeve of another Paper Taoist, feeling no pain.
