The fairy father

Did the Dongchuang Incident happen? !

Was what he said to deceive Huangdi Xuanyuan heard by the leader of Taiqing?

Li Ping'an's Adam's apple trembled up and down, and he refrained from kneeling down and kowtowed. He kept his bowing posture, and several options quickly emerged in his mind, but he quickly rejected these options.

‘Nothing can be hidden from Senior Brother Taiqing. ’

Fight!

Li Ping'an said loudly: "Therefore! The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is more damage; the way of man is to make up for the deficiency when there is more damage."

"good."

Taiqing Laozi's eyes had no light, he just stared at Li Ping'an and said slowly:

"The way of the world is like that of stretching a bow. Those who are high suppress it, and those who are low lift it up; those who have excess damage it, and those who have deficiencies make up for it. Therefore, the way of heaven is to make up for the deficiencies by making up for the excess; the way of man is to damage the deficiencies and make up for the deficiencies. . Who can have more than enough to take and enshrine it in heaven? Is this a Taoist person?"

Li Ping'an was a little confused for a moment and could only lower his head and keep bowing.

Lao Tzu asked again: "This sutra only exists in my heart and has not yet been spread to the world. Where did you hear it?"

‘The boy had an idea in a flash? ’

Li Ping'an really wanted to answer like this, but he upheld his true intentions, examined his own nature, and traced his true nature, so he decided to deal with the truth.

He said: "Master, uncle, I heard someone tell this sutra when I was young! I am stupid and can only remember a few sentences!"

Lao Tzu said: "Memorize all the scriptures you know."

"yes!"

Li Ping'an sorted out the sentences related to the "Tao Te Ching" in his memory, and discovered to his surprise that he had actually used many scriptures long ago.

I only said this, maybe because after he came into contact with Emperor Xuanyuan, I focused my attention on him, an 'unknown person'.

Now that he has embarked on this path of 'seeking the truth', Li Ping'an did not dare to hide anything and recited slowly:

"Tao can be the way, but it is not the eternal way. The name can be the name, but it is not the permanent name. Wu is the beginning of all things. Yes is the mother of all things. Therefore, there is no desire, so as to observe its wonder... "

"Heaven and earth are unkind and treat all living things like stupid dogs. The saints are unkind and regard the common people as stupid dogs..."

"The best thing is like water. Water is good for all things and has tranquility. It is disliked by everyone..."

"Everything in the world is born from existence, and existence is born from nothingness. Tao generates one, one generates two, two generates three, and three generates all things. All things bear yin and embrace yang, and the qi in the middle is considered to be in harmony."

…

Li Ping'an memorized more than a dozen paragraphs in a row, which were the contents that impressed him the most and remembered them most clearly.

He kept reciting it like this, and a strange feeling came to his heart.

"Traveling through the prehistoric times, I recited the Tao Te Ching for Tai Qing Lao Tzu"?

The scriptures of the "Tao Te Ching" that impressed him most were mostly "Tao Jing" rather than "Tao Te Ching". The former contains the mysterious Tao, while the latter mostly contains principles of governing the world. It is originally the study of the inner sage and the outer king.

Gradually, Li Pingan's words paused, his eyes became more thoughtful, and he closed his eyes subconsciously.

Wisps of mysterious Taoist charm surrounded him.

Li Ping'an actually recited the scriptures that Taiqing Laozi had not mentioned to anyone in front of Taiqing Laozi, and then... began to realize the Tao on the spot.

Even the leader of Taiqing, who was quiet and inactive and the leader of the Three Purities, couldn't help but frown slightly at this moment and looked at Li Ping'an's figure carefully.

After a while, Taiqing nodded slightly, and his thin fingers that seemed to be outside the world gave a little light to Li Ping'an.

Li Ping'an sat cross-legged and meditated naturally, and dozens of chapters of scripture began to echo in his heart.

"You know there is something wrong with the scripture, but this is the original version."

Li Pingan was refreshed.

Although he still doesn't know if he has passed this level, the opportunity is before him, so he should seize it with all his strength!

So I calmly comprehended it and wrote down these dozens of chapters of scripture in detail.

Gradually, he fell into a deeper state of enlightenment, forgetting both things and self, embracing the essence and returning to oneness, leaving all external things behind.

Seven days of light and shadow passed.

Nuwa has returned to the Notre Dame Palace and does not wait here any longer.

Immortal light appeared around Li Ping'an, and the Tao realm actually broke through the first level, and a faint shadow of a Tai Chi diagram slowly appeared behind him.

He slowly opened his eyes, his eyes as clear as an ancient well, and there was still some thought in his eyes.

"How do you feel?"

The voice of Taiqing Laozi came, and Li Pingan woke up like a dream.

Lao Tzu said: "You still have to fight in the future, so it won't be easy for you to realize the Tao for a long time."

Li Ping'an hurriedly stood up and resumed his bowing posture: "Thank you, uncle, for preaching!"

"good."

I nodded slightly:

"I know a little about the relationship between you and your father. I won't embarrass you about this matter. Since you are here today, I should ask three questions."

"Please show me!"

Lao Tzu asked: "Since I am the Emperor of Heaven, what should I do?"

Li Ping'an thought carefully and carefully for almost half an hour before answering:

"You should suppress the way of heaven for all living beings, you should seek survival for all souls, you should add righteousness to heaven and earth, and you should punish evil spirits from heaven!"

Lao Tzu asked again: "Can good and evil exist in one mind?"

Li Ping'an continued to think, and after more than half an hour this time, he answered:

“Good and evil exist in one mind, but they do not exist in one mind!

"In terms of life, good and evil natures originate from the choices of the heart. Good deeds and evil deeds are not directly related to the nature. Those with evil nature can restrain themselves, and those with good nature can also indulge themselves. Therefore, the good and evil of living beings should be judged by their deeds and not by their hearts. .

"The thoughts of good and evil exist in the hearts of living beings, but whether this living being is good or evil should be determined by the law!"

I nodded slowly and asked the third question: "If the Emperor of Heaven is wrong, who is to blame?"

This question made Li Ping'an stand there and think about it for a long time.

The answers to this question are also varied, such as establishing a complete supervision system, the Emperor of Heaven being guilty of the same crimes as mortals, the rules of Heaven being superior to the Emperor of Heaven, etc.

But when the words came to his lips, Li Pingan felt that these were not appropriate answers.

The law cannot be perfected;

Those in power are best able to find gaps in the law.

After thinking for a long time, Li Ping'an felt a flash of inspiration in his heart and said slowly:

"Disciple, please be brave. If one day the Heavenly Court is established and all the spirits of heaven and earth return to their hearts, please uncle, master, hang a sharp sword over your head!"

I have a little more sparkle in my eyes.

There was a faint smile on his thin and emotionless face.

"good."

I said slowly:

"When your heaven is established, I will give you a treasure to protect the heaven and monitor the gods.

"Let's go.

"The words of you and me must not be passed on to the ears. I will cover up the matter of your father and son, and I will set a destiny for all spirits from now on."

"Disciple, please remember your uncle's teachings!"

Li Pingan lowered his head to answer. The clouds and mist in front of his eyes were changing. When he looked up again, the old road, the small courtyard, and the green cow had all disappeared. There was only a light blue sky in front of him, and not far above his head was the membrane of heaven and earth.

Everything seemed like a dream.

He thought for a while, and many insights emerged in his heart, and the thirty-six chapters of the scriptures flowed through his heart like flowing water.

This is the "Tao Jing" of the "Tao Te Ching", which contains the great principles of Tai Qing.

Li Ping'an's Taoist heart could not calm down for a long time.

This was the first time that a powerful person revealed the problem between him and his father;

This was also the first time that when he answered a question, he racked his brains and still felt that he didn't know much and didn't learn enough;

Taiqing Laozi.

The first of the Three Pure Ones, this sense of oppression is indeed too strong.

A bit of fresh air drifted by, and Li Pingan felt his back was quite cool, but he was sweating profusely without realizing it.

Can...can we go back?

Li Ping'an turned around and looked around, but saw the Virgin Mother's figure nowhere to be seen, but saw the young Taoist with an ordinary face and outstanding temperament looking at him with a smile.

"Nephew of the Emperor of Heaven," Archmage Xuandu said warmly, "Teacher ordered me to take you back to Dongzhou. Let's drive slowly on the clouds."

Li Ping'an said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you, uncle."

"Don't be afraid, the teacher is always very kind."

Master Xuandu came over with a smile, and a cloud of mist appeared under his feet, carrying Li Ping'an and drifting downwards.

Li Ping'an gave a desperate fake smile.

The kind Taiqing.

…

When the cloud head driven by Master Xuandu arrived in the sky above Dong'an City, Li Ping'an just came back to his senses and let out a long breath.

"Emperor of Heaven, Pindao sent you here."

"Thank you, uncle," Li Ping'an said in response, "Well... uncle, do you have any other instructions?"

Master Xuandu raised his eyebrows slightly: "You have been talking with the teacher for seven days and nights. This matter has been known to all the powerful and powerful people in the world. What instructions does the teacher have, and I need to let you know through Pindao?"

Li Ping'an sighed: "Actually, I had an epiphany and realized it before my uncle came. Thinking about it, it's really rude."

"It doesn't matter, they don't know that you have been enlightening and practicing for the past seven days."

Master Xuandu raised his hand and patted Li Pingan's shoulder, then took out a gourd and stuffed it into Li Pingan's hand.

He said: "You keep shouting, Uncle Master, that Pindao has nothing to give you. These pills were refined by Pindao during his training. You can use them... I really want to remind you of something."

Li Pingan hugged the gourd. The elixir inside was quite heavy.

He smiled and said: "Master, please tell me."

"Don't get too involved in the Dao Immortal Tribulation."

Archmage Xuandu groaned a few times:

"The fact that the teacher can preach to you means that the teacher is optimistic about you becoming the Emperor of Heaven.

"You are the Emperor of Heaven, the spokesperson of Heavenly Dao, and the Dao Immortal Tribulation is the struggle between Heavenly Dao and Daomen Immortals for control of the Dao. The reason for the Dao Immortal Tribulation is that Heavenly Dao needs to release the Dao from the hands of living beings.

"If you interfere too deeply here, I'm afraid you will be in a dilemma in the future, and the teacher will not be happy."

Li Ping'an blinked: "Master, what do you mean, I don't want to get too close to Chan Jiao or Jie Jiao?"

"No, it's also a good thing that you are close to the Taoist Immortal."

Master Xuandu said slowly:

"What Pindao means is that you should not plan the Taoist Immortal Tribulation, and do not try to arrange the interpretation and interpretation of the two religions.

"Although Pindao has lived on the edge of the Sea of ​​Chaos for a long time, he can still use part of the power of the Tai Chi Diagram and has been secretly observing you for a while.

"You are a good human being at heart, which is the most gratifying thing for me, but sometimes you also add unnecessary responsibilities to yourself, which is actually not good.

"The Dao Sect and the Heavenly Dao are bound to be weakened. The Human Dao and the Heavenly Dao, just like the Yin and Yang Pisces, need to find a balance in constant changes.

"There are shortcomings in the way of heaven, and there are regrets in the way of humanity. This is common sense and cannot be forced."

Li Ping'an lowered his head and bowed: "Thank you, uncle, for reminding me."

"Well, go ahead and come to Xuandu to play when you have time."

Archmage Xuandu put his hands behind his hands and chuckled, then looked down at Dong'an City below and said with emotion:

"In ancient times, I would not have dared to imagine that our race could be in such a situation."

After saying this, Master Xuandu bowed to Li Ping'an, and Li Ping'an returned the favor again. The two said goodbye from the sky above Dong'an City and left.

Master Xuandu walked in the air, but after only three or two steps, he disappeared.

Li Ping'an fell into the city defense formation below, and Luo Xuejing and her four guards, who had already returned and were waiting, stepped forward to greet him.

Xinghe Xinghan said excitedly:

"Your Majesty! You really went back to Dong'an City directly!"

"It has been spread everywhere that you stayed with Master Taiqing for seven days and seven nights! Now everyone is saying that the Taoist sect will vigorously support the human heaven!"

"Many big demons in the demon clan have announced that they are going into seclusion!"

Li Ping'an squeezed an ugly smile: "Quick, give me a hand..."

Several people hurried forward, and Xinghe Xinghan supported Li Ping'an, who was on the verge of collapse.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay," Li Ping'an said quietly, "Help me go back and take a nap. I won't see anyone in the next few days...except my master and my father."

"yes!"

Luo Xuejing was a little hesitant to speak.

She actually wanted to ask if other church leaders had sent people to invite them, would they also be there?

But seeing that Li Pingan's face was pale and his breath was weak, Luo Xuejing did not dare to ask any more questions. Together with four personal guards, she sent Li Pingan back to the house to rest.

Li Pingan had a long sleep.

In the dream, he was still reciting the "Tao Jing" and trying to recite it backwards and forwards.

When he woke up, there were only seven or eight days left before sending troops to the Kongmeng Realm.

Li Ping'an got up and moved around for a while, and Li Dazhi appeared in front of him with a smile. His eyes were shining and he asked what he and Taiqing Laozi were talking about.

Although Li Ping'an wanted to talk to his father for a while, but thinking of Lao Tzu's advice, he could only shake his head with a wry smile and give a few general answers.

"The Dharma is not spread to the six ears," Li Ping'an sighed, "Dad, every word and deed of ours is under the watchful eye of the Taiqing leader."

"real or fake?"

Li Dazhi whispered: "Isn't Tianji confused now?"

"Tai Chi Tu knows everything," Li Ping'an sighed, "Don't mention it too much. In short, I have benefited a lot from this time. The biggest gain is that the new heaven of the human race has been endorsed by the Taiqing leader. The Western Church should have more concerns. ."

"More than worrying, people from Western sects are here to send gifts."

Li Dazhi took out two brocade boxes and threw them in front of Li Pingan.

"This is sent by two disciples of the Western Sect. I took a look at it for you. It contains some spiritual root treasures, which are not good things.

"What else did those two disciples say, that the West is barren and that few gifts and congratulations to the Emperor of Heaven disgusted me.

"However, if you don't hit the smiling man with your hand and if the two countries are at war, I will accept the gift for you."

Li Ping'an opened the brocade box and looked at these two acquired spiritual roots, which were not very rare, and was speechless for a moment.

Is this the deterrent power of Taiqing Laozi?

"Is there an envoy from the Notre Dame Palace?" Li Ping'an asked.

"No," Li Dazhi said, "Do you want to go and tell the Holy Mother?"

"It shouldn't be necessary," Li Ping'an thought carefully and said slowly, "I will edit a book later and have Tingzhu send it to the Notre Dame Palace... Dad, where is my master?"

Li Dazhi smiled and said: "I have returned to the Zhuyun Sect. Qingsu's master wants to retreat to the Golden Immortal Realm. Qingsu rushes back to meet him. The so-called retreat means either becoming a Golden Immortal or turning into a withered bone."

"Well, let's wait for a few days, Master."

Li Ping'an stretched his waist:

“Dad, I’m going to go to Kongmeng Realm to explore in advance.

"It's only been a few days since the troops were dispatched. I always look at the information provided by Tianfang Pavilion and lack specific pictures in my mind.

"It's not that I don't believe in Tianfang Pavilion, but some things are true when you see them with your own eyes."

Li Dazhi glared and said, "What are you doing! How dangerous it is! The sky is too far away, and it's not convenient to send messages!"

Li Ping'an said: "I asked Uncle Guiling to accompany me. Safety should not be a problem. I will think of a way to see if I can find a way to send the message."

"That's okay. Senior Guiling is no longer banned by Heaven, so he is still quite strong."

Li Dazhi nodded in agreement and said:

"When you go there this time, remember to take all your personal guards with you. The four of them are all immortal masters, and they also have their uses outside the world.

"By the way, there is one more thing I want you to know. The Tiandi Temple over at Linzheng Immortal Dynasty has begun to advance. Do you want to develop a set of doctrines or something? Or just do the Tiandi Temple?"

"Let's just go to the Tiandi Temple. There's no need to teach anything."

"Does Houtu want to enter the temple?"

"No entry for the time being," Li Ping'an said sternly, "The merits of incense will become more and more important in the future. When the witch clan really makes great achievements, we can invite the later Tuzu witch to enter the temple."

"That's okay!"

Li Dazhi slapped his thigh and stood up: "You can continue to rest, I will continue to run errands for my son."

Li Ping'an smiled calmly: "Thank you, father!"

"If you don't even pay any salary, you are a black-hearted capitalist!"

Li Dazhi laughed and cursed twice, and his fat figure floated away.

Li Pingan clenched his fists.

After paying homage to Taiqing, I feel a lot more at ease in my heart. The next step is... huh?

Li Ping'an let out a light sigh, his celestial sense penetrated the glow floating on the spiritual platform, and took a closer look.

The overall calamity remains unchanged;

The Heavenly Emperor in white was chained there, and the headless Xingtian moved forward with an axe. There was an apocalyptic scene everywhere.

But on the top layer of this scroll, there is a faint shadow of the Tai Chi diagram.

Li Ping'an glanced a few more times, and Xing Tian's ax fell again. 'Li Ping'an''s head flew up, but the Tai Chi diagram did not change.

What does this mean?
