My Senior Brother is Too Steady

The road has a beginning, but the road has no end.

Daozu Hongjun sat idle in the bamboo house deep in the bamboo forest, staring at the jade dish of creation spread on the top of the low table. The jade dish showed the scene of the three-star cave with the slanting moon.

To evaluate the power of a treasure, you can actually refer to the clarity of their images;

Like Taozu's jade plate of creation, it can easily evolve into three thousand avenues, and the shape of a grain of soil in the picture can be clearly distinguished.

It shows:

Patriarch Bodhi was meditating in the back hall, and Sun Wukong and several fellow disciples were fighting and playing in the open space in front of the hall. Everything was the same as it had been for more than sixty years.

Taoist Hongjun didn't look much at Patriarch Bodhi, and focused his eyes on Sun Wukong with some admiration.

He suddenly laughed and said: "Fellow Taoist, the monkey you are talking about is really lovable..."

After finishing his words, Hongjun looked at the empty seat on the right side of the low table and couldn't help but laugh.

On the contrary, they are long gone.

Hongjun flicked his finger, and layers of mist filled the bamboo forest, as if he had crossed the river of time and returned to a certain point in time long ago.

Three figures appeared beside Hongjun, either sitting cross-legged or diagonally, and all of them looked relaxed.

This is a projection of a memory.

Hongjun was sitting in this position, but he did not speak, with a solemn look on his face. In front of him was a row of jade plaques arranged neatly.

Beside him were two veteran Taoists, and sitting opposite him was a slightly fat Taoist with a reserved expression.

Amidst the laughter and chatter, the years flowed by slowly.

Suddenly there was a slight fluctuation of Dao Yun around him. Hongjun flicked his finger, and these scenes quickly faded away, leaving him alone sitting at the low table. The jade square cards were gone in front of him, leaving only the jade plate of good fortune.

"Fellow."

A soft call came from outside the bamboo house.

An old man in gray robe stepped forward and sat opposite Hongjun.

Hongjun asked: "How?"

"Li Changgeng has not moved. He has been in Kunpeng's secret realm. Xuandu and the others seem to be trying to gather the primitive creatures who have escaped from the world. It is difficult to do so."

The gray-robed old Taoist said slowly:

"The spies you and I have planted have always been in the Kunpeng Secret Realm. Although we can't contact Li Changgeng for the time being, we can indeed feel the operation of the Avenue of Balance.

Several times when Yunxiao and Lan Ling'e went in and out of the hall, they could actually see Li Changgeng's figure.

He seems to be trying hard to practice and want to understand the state after perfecting the path of balance.

It is true that I have never left the Kunpeng Secret Realm. "

Daozu Hongjun smiled.

"It seems that it was you and I who worried too much before.

Before he was driven out of the ancient world, he had only practiced for a thousand years, and his accumulation was far from enough.

Although Chang Geng should not be underestimated, there is no need to think of him as too strong. In the final analysis, it is just Tai Qing's calculation. "

The gray-robed old Taoist asked: "But fellow Taoist, if Li Changgeng has been in Kunpeng Secret Realm, do we have to wait forever?

Whether to destroy Kunpeng's secret realm and force him to leave as soon as possible. "

"It doesn't matter, just wait," Hongjun sat upright, "If the pressure is too tight, it will easily stimulate him to start a war with you and me, which will go against your and my plans.

Although the Three Realms are under your control, if he uses Kunpeng to conquer the heaven and earth, you and I will also suffer unnecessary losses.

Now just wait and see what happens and wait patiently.

The power of living beings can no longer threaten heaven and earth, and heaven is blocking the way of heaven. If there are living beings who rebel against heaven, heaven can suppress them.

Compared with heaven and earth, living beings are ultimately impatient. We can all afford to wait for a few yuan or dozens of yuan. "

The old man in gray robe nodded slowly and asked again: "How are the arrangements for the catastrophe of Journey to the West going?"

"Look," Hongjun said with a smile, "this monkey head already has some shape, and it will be ready for you and me to use in another hundred or two hundred years.

There is no need to worry about Buddhism, Jie Yin has been secretly controlled by Pindao, and he has not struggled.

Now the only variable left in the world is Yuan Shi, but Yuan Shi is alone, so there is no need to worry about him. He is the most difficult to deal with among the Three Pure Ones. "

The gray-robed old Taoist also showed a little smile and said: "The Holy One obeys the sky, and the Holy Spirit cannot be messed with. He is the only one left to be a Holy One, so there is really no need to worry."

"It's enough to take the lead as a constraint."

Daozu Hongjun tapped his fingers on the jade dish of good fortune, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

"But for some reason, Pindao is always a little uneasy."

"Are you worried that Li Changgeng knows something?"

"Yes," Hongjun said slowly, "Although all the truth has been covered up by you and me, Pindao always feels that Li Changgeng has mastered some secrets that he should not have access to through some methods that you and I cannot determine.

For example, how did he arrive in the wild world.

Most of what he said to me before was not credible. Maybe he already understood the principle of [True Spirit Travel] at that time. "

The gray-robed old Taoist was silent for a while, and then asked: "Have you, fellow Taoist, read all the classics in the Kunpeng?"

"Although I have seen it, there may be some message hidden in it."

Hongjun said in a deep voice: "At this time, I still can't figure out why Li Changgeng was able to understand the way of balance in such a short period of time, and even understand the way of balance better than you and me.

According to his temperament, 30% of the 10% success would be revealed, 30% hidden, 30% buried, and 10% would be used as a last resort to escape.

What you and I have seen before are really his true state?

Pindao has doubts about this. "

The old man in gray robe couldn't help but remain silent.

Daozu Hongjun calculated with his fingers for a while, and said in a low voice: "Whether there is a back-up plan by that guy, you and I both missed it."

But the gray robe said: "That person can't possibly hide it from you."

"That's impossible to say. It's not like this guy has roundworms in his belly."

Taoist Hongjun's face showed a little emotion, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said slowly: "Continue to monitor the Kunpeng Secret Realm. There is no need to worry about other living beings. Just look for Li Changgeng."

"good."

The old man in gray robe nodded slightly, and his figure was about to disperse, but he solidified again.

"Would you like to make Haotian more obedient?"

"No need."

Taoist Hongjun thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "He is just motivated, and he understands in his heart that without the support of you and me, the word "Emperor of Heaven" is just a joke.

What's more, with his wife and daughter in Yaochi, he has no way to retreat and nowhere to go. "

The gray-robed Taoist nodded slowly and said: "To prevent this from happening, it is better to lock the shackles of heaven on Li Changgeng's friends and disciples."

"No need," Hongjun said slowly, "If there is no threat to the way of heaven, all living beings are living beings, and there is no need to take action against them."

The old man in gray robe said calmly: "You still have compassion for Li Changgeng."

"Fellow Taoist has misunderstood," Hongjun smiled slightly, "Pindao just thinks that living beings are actually quite wonderful. Since we have controlled the three realms and eliminated most of the hidden dangers, we don't need to embarrass them.

After all, living beings are also part of the world. The more colorful they are, the more colorful they can be.

Such a stable prehistoric world is the most beautiful, isn't it? "

"What my fellow Taoist said makes sense," the gray-robed old Taoist nodded slowly, "Everything is for the sake of the eternity of heaven and earth."

"Goodness, everything is for the eternity of heaven and earth."

The figure of the gray-robed old man disappeared with the wind.

The smile on Daozu Hongjun's lips gradually faded, as if he was thinking about something, and soon he looked down at the scene in the jade plate again.

Next step, where are you?

Chang Geng actually said it right.

Because of his union with the Tao, Tiandao gave birth to a consciousness similar to that of living beings. This is not a good thing, because Tiandao thinks about how to protect the world and suppress the power of living beings.

Daozu Hongjun tapped his fingers on the jade plate a few times, and various scenes appeared on it.

In a sparkling water mansion, surrounded by iron ropes, the Tongtian Cult Master yawned boredly, seemingly not caring much about the current situation.

What stands out is that he is unrestrained and unrestrained.

In Zixiao Palace, the seal of Taiqing is extremely stable. Without the full strength of the saints of heaven, it will be difficult to break the seal.

In fact, how could Taoist Hongjun not understand.

Originally, Li Changshou's biggest support was that the Sanqing was Pangu Yuanshen, and the Taiji Diagram, Chaos Bell, and Pangu Banner were combined into one to form the God's Axe, which killed him, the Taoist ancestor and the way of heaven, at the cost of destroying the world.

And his biggest reliance is that they will not touch the world.

After all, he was not the guy who lived in the ancient Fuxi body.

What's more, he is a dignified Taoist, how can he be without his trump card?

For example, the Qiankun Cauldron, which can summon the power of the origin of heaven and earth, and the four guardian beasts of the prehistoric era that he refined in ancient times to form the infinite four-image array of heaven and earth... and so on.

He also had a trump card. If the Conferred God Tribulation had ended, Li Changshou's choice would not have been to leave, but to have a head-on confrontation.

The outcome of both sides is unpredictable, but the lives will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

When Li Changshou chose to leave, in Hongjun Daozu's view, if Li Changshou had not prepared any "unbelievable" tyrannical cards, as time goes by, Li Changshou's chances of winning will become lower and lower.

After all, he, the Taoist ancestor, would not sit still and wait for death.

Where's the next step?

It's time to make final preparations to devour this heavenly way.

Detached?

That is actually nonsense. If the mind is far enough away, the sea of ​​chaos is nothing more than a cage.

So a long time ago, he, the Taoist ancestor, had already embarked on another path.

Using the prehistoric world as his Tao body, transforming into an ultimate creature that has never existed, and contacting those consciousnesses that set the rules of true spirits, this is his way to transcendence.

Daozu Hongjun looked at the jade plate in front of him, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

That smile was exactly the same as the expression on his face when he deliberately frightened Li Changshou in Zixiao Palace.

"Wait, it's still too shallow."

…

Um……

Why does it feel like someone is scolding me behind my back?

In the Sanxing Cave under the slanting moon, Li Changshou opened his eyes, suppressed the desire to yawn, sorted out the weak insights he had gained from practicing at this time, and felt a little emotional.

It is really not easy to modify Jiekong Avenue.

The immortal consciousness fell on the monkey and found that the monkey was jumping around, carefree and happy.

Several female disciples stood by and kept teasing him: "Come on Wukong" and "Come on Wukong".

The monkey jumped left and right happily, intercepting the bouquets they threw around, which made many male disciples on the side have sour eyes.

There is no way, Wukong is too popular with female disciples.

As for why this is so, Li Changshou also analyzed it carefully.

First, this stone monkey is just a stone. He knows nothing about men and women, and he has not left any gaps in his Taoist heart.

His heart is only for the Tao, and his Tao is only for the heart.

Secondly, Stone Monkey is smart enough, can say some compliments, and flatters him endlessly. When he first started, he praised him so much that all the senior sisters regarded him as a real brother.

Thirdly, Wukong himself did not make the male disciples feel 'pressure'.

He is more like the mascot in this Taoist temple, although his strength has surpassed that of the disciples at this time.

The fourth is that Wukong is good at fighting. He can often defeat the superior in combat, and is especially good at close combat.

During several trials in nearby mountains and forests, Sun Wukong rushed to the front and casually killed some powerful monsters, exuding an indescribable heroic spirit in his bones.

How could such a Monkey King be so unpopular?

Li Changshou chuckled lightly, stood up and walked near the door of the room, sitting on the rocking chair and watching the disciples playing.

Life like this is actually pretty good.

But the calm in front of us is just an appearance. If the Taoist ancestors are not eliminated and the will of heaven is not wiped out, the entire prehistoric era will be like a small sailboat drifting on the boundless sea.

If the sea is in a good mood, it will naturally allow the sailboat to move forward smoothly;

But as long as there are some waves or storms in the sea, the sailboat will be swallowed up by the waves in an instant.

This is not a hidden danger, this is an obvious danger.

Soon.

There are still two to three hundred years.

When the monkey returns to Huaguo Mountain, he can escape from Wubuzhou. If Taoist Patriarch chooses to kill Patriarch Bodhi, he will have no choice but to overturn the table.

If Dao Ancestor chooses to let Ancestor Bodhi go, then he can make up for the missing chance of winning, and fully control the initiative in the final game.

It has been a long time since the main body left the primitive world in the blink of an eye. In fact, two to three hundred years can pass very quickly.

Sometimes, the years are like this, just open and close your eyes, and decades pass by.

Li Changshou always maintained an alert state of being loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and carefully taught the monkeys the exercises given by Taozu. He also taught the monkeys the magical powers that Taozu did not give him.

Not only that, he also passed on Taozu's back and passed on some things that should not be passed on to monkeys.

Sun Wukong's cultivation level has improved steadily and rapidly, and he has no idea what the bottleneck is.

Most of the extremely powerful spiritual power contained in his body has been turned into his own mana.

Cultivation of copper skin and iron bones, cultivation of external body and incarnation;

Cultivate to soar into the clouds and ride in the mist, cultivate to have an immortal golden soul.

Li Changshou sat at the bottom of Bodhi Heart, waved his hand, and the years passed quickly around him, turning into wisps of dazzling brilliance.

And fast forward to——

[Sun Wukong overcame the tribulation of the Golden Immortal, and the Holy Spirit was expelled from the spiritual platform].

In the 236th year after he entered the mountain, Sun Wukong smoothly passed through the Golden Immortal Tribulation, and also gained a lot of benefits during the Tribulation.

When Sun Wukong came out of seclusion after practicing for several months and couldn't help but show off in front of his brothers and sisters, he was caught by the 'Bodhi Patriarch' and scolded him with a straight face.

‘Wukong, a poor Taoist teaches you the great way, but is it for you to show off? ’

Wukong hurriedly said that he knew his mistake. As smart as he was, he had already seen something on his master's expression.

Sure enough, Li Changshou flicked his sleeves and cursed: 'The relationship between you and me as master and disciple has ended. You will leave today and don't come back. ’

Sun Wukong couldn't help being shocked, and all his disciples were also surprised.

Among them, an Immortal Golden Immortal finally emerged. Why did the teacher have to drive him away so easily?

The disciples all begged for mercy, and Sun Wukong tried to say whatever they wanted, but Patriarch Bodhi had a heart of stone and threw Sun Wukong tens of thousands of miles away with a flick of his sleeve.

Seeing that the teacher was really angry, these disciples did not dare to speak. Many female disciples had red eyes and went back to their residences to practice.

That night.

Li Changshou lay on his side on the soft couch, facing the inner wall of the cave.

"Master..."

A slightly trembling voice came from the window, but it was the stone monkey who left and returned.

Li Changshou was silent, as if he was fast asleep.

With two squeaks, the monkey quietly climbed over the window and knelt in front of the bed. He wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say, so he just bowed his head and knelt down.

After kneeling like this for half an hour, Li Changshou still had no words.

Sun Wukong asked in a trembling voice: "Master, why did my disciple displease you...Whether you hit him or scold him, I can't bear to let him go like this."

Li Changshou remained silent.

After a while, Sun Wukong sighed: "Master, is there something inconvenient for you to tell your disciples?"

Li Changshou remained silent.

Sun Wukong couldn't help but close his eyes and take a breath.

"Master, can you say one more word to your disciple, just one sentence..."

finally……

"Don't mention it to anyone from now on, you are my disciple."

When Li Changshou spoke like this, Sun Wukong's defense was broken almost instantly, and his face became quite gloomy.

This guy...that's all.

Li Changshou explained:

"This is not because I think you are not worthy of being my disciple, but because the relationship between you and me as master and disciple has indeed ended.

Wukong, do you still remember why you became a disciple?

But you still remember what you said to your teacher when you knelt here on the first night? "

"Disciple, disciple..."

Li Changshou said:

“Cultivation in the mountains is practice, and walking in the mortal world is also practice.

You have a restless temper. My teacher asked you to leave because I just feel that you have nothing to learn here.

Go ahead.

The world is vast enough for you to do somersaults.

Although this ancient world lacks many great powers, it is still exciting and exciting. You just have to try it out.

But remember, don’t mention to others that you and I were masters and disciples. If you get into any trouble in the future, don’t come here to seek your master. "

After saying this, Li Changshou waved his hand.

Sun Wukong felt white mist surging around him, and when he reappeared, he was already at the foot of Lingtai Mountain.

It was when he came here that he encountered the woodcutter's place.

Sun Wukong was stunned for a while, feeling that the night breeze was blowing slightly and was a little cool.

He lowered his head and sighed, kowtowed several times to the mountainside, stood up to ride on the clouds, and then turned around on the clouds, kowtowing several times to where Li Changshou was.

In the end, the monkey still had red eyes and rode on the clouds towards the way he came from when he was looking for the immortal.

Li Changshou:...

Once Daozu expressed his opinion, he would immediately start the follow-up actions.
