The fairy father

No, this spirit in the coffin...

Really teach him?

Li Ping'an was quite surprised when he first heard the sermon.

He originally thought that the spirit in the coffin would take the opportunity to mess with his mind, at least brainwash him, or in serious cases try to control his soul, and he had made a lot of preparations for this, and even prepared to fight to the death with the spirit in the coffin. Plan to fight.

The battle between the mind and the heart depends entirely on oneself.

But he never expected it.

The lectures given by the spirit in the coffin are extremely pure. There are no private goods, no spiritual attacks, and no pollution. What he teaches is all the principles of the Tao, and it also contains a lot of true meaning.

It's just like the spirit in the coffin suddenly wakes up, reins in the danger, stops engaging in any conspiracy, and teaches his disciple well...

This made Li Pingan quite uncomfortable.

Gradually, the narration of the spirit in the coffin becomes more and more profound and mysterious, and it is no longer possible to explain and understand it in words.

Li Ping'an heard many sounds, such as bells and bells, war songs vibrating, summer cicadas chirping, and streams gurgling.

He was gradually brought into a mysterious realm and entered the mysterious door. He wandered freely between heaven and earth and all things, thinking about the eternal existence of heaven and earth, and thinking about the morning and evening of mayflies. He felt something in his heart but gained nothing. He was unrestrained and confused himself. So I gradually sink into it and forget to leave.

The spirit in the coffin opened his eyes and glanced at Li Ping'an, nodded with satisfaction, and then continued to talk about the road.

The shadow of the Tai Chi diagram brings the situation here back to Zixiao Palace.

Taoists Taiqing and Hongjun stared at this place, each stroking their beards, and then carefully compared the path of transcendence described by the spirit in the coffin.

What the spirit in the coffin said did give them some inspiration.

At some point, the preaching gradually stopped.

Li Ping'an was already sleeping with his head down, with a calm smile on his lips and frowning from time to time.

This is not sleep, but understanding the Way with all your heart.

After sitting quietly for three months, Li Pingan finally woke up.

Being so drowsy is actually realizing and accepting the true meaning of the great truth revealed by the spirit in the coffin. It is similar to an enlightenment, and like spitting out lotus flowers from the mouth. However, this period of three months is better than hundreds of years of ordinary retreat practice.

Of course, what is more important is Li Ping'an's own understanding.

The spirit in the coffin thought that Li Pingan would not wake up for at least a year.

When Li Ping'an woke up, the old man transformed from the spirit in the coffin smiled and said slowly:

"Can we understand the meaning of transcendence? Can we understand the etiquette of spiritual practice? Can we understand things like immortality and origin?"

Li Ping'an sincerely handed over his hand and said seriously: "Thank you very much, teacher, for explaining the Tao. I have gained a lot of insights from you, and my Taoist heart is quite happy. There are many enlightenments here."

"Let me ask you, what is detachment?"

"Being free and carefree, not bound by heaven and earth, not limited by body shape, not limited by existence or non-existence, not dependent on tangible heaven and earth but immortal on its own, is detachment."

"good."

The spirit in the coffin nodded slightly and asked again:

"Let me ask you, what is practice?"

"Forging oneself to create heaven and earth, leaping into beings to become immortals, taking materials from heaven and earth, condensing yin and yang and the five elements, forming one's own great path, and entering the realm of impermanence. This is cultivation."

Li Ping'an thought for a while and added:

"The essence of cultivation is to plunder the essence of heaven and earth for one's own use."

"good."

The spirit in the coffin nodded again and said slowly:

"All the ways here need to be experienced carefully by yourself. For the time being, practice here and don't think about other things."

"Thank you, Teacher," Li Ping'an added with a bit more respect in his voice, "This disciple has many responsibilities, so I need to take a moment to inquire about other matters."

The spirit in the coffin said: "You can make your own arrangements. The next class will be held in a month."

Li Pingan bowed his hands in salute, closed his eyes and concentrated, and his mind returned to the soul of the Lingtai.

As soon as his little Yuan Shen opened his eyes, he saw the Faceless Man of Heaven holding a golden rod.

The two looked at each other in silence.

The Faceless Man of Heaven seemed to have returned from his daze, put down the golden stick, and groaned a few times.

"Your Majesty, he seems to really want to teach you how to practice."

"I also discovered that although I don't know why and my Tao realm has not directly improved, my understanding of the Tao and the world has improved a lot."

Li Pingan's spirit raised his hand and rubbed his forehead:

"The more this boss behaves like this, the less sure I feel... Are there any problems outside in the past few months?"

"It's not a big problem."

The faceless man quickly reported:

"Your Majesty, please concentrate on your cultivation. The higher your strength, the more support you will have from Heaven.

"No major events have happened in the world. All plans in the Kongmeng Realm are progressing as planned. The Queen Mother of the West, Yaochi, has always been in charge of the Prime Minister's internal affairs.

"There is nothing else going on in Dongzhou. Two new temples of the Heavenly Emperor have been built. The favorability of the Qi Practitioners towards Heaven has increased slightly. In the past 100 days, Kongmeng Realm has received 67,900 Qi Refinement Practitioners, and more than 20% of them have stayed. Practice in the Kongmeng Realm and the surrounding small circular world.

"The human race is planning to conquer the remnants of the demon race in the small worlds.

"There is nothing else going on in the Western Continent. There is some turmoil in the Southern Continent, which is covered by the Juetian Formation. It should be caused by the civil strife in the Mortal Dynasty.

“The Inner Heavenly Spirit showed up six times, but most of them disappeared in a flash.

"Jie Jie has discovered twelve more small worlds hidden by the Western Sect. Yaochi has arranged for masters to attack them secretly and cut off some of the incense.

"It only takes another three to five years for Pindao to completely assimilate to Inner Heaven. However, those Inner Heaven Dao gods have escaped and are more difficult to deal with."

Li Ping'an nodded slightly: "As long as it's generally stable, I'll practice here for a while longer. I don't know how many classes there will be in the future. When I go out, I'll go sweep up the incense merits."

The faceless man made a bow: "Pindao will continue to protect your majesty's soul."

"Don't be careless."

Li Ping'an asked again: "Are there any big events outside heaven?"

"There have been several battles in Xuandu City."

The faceless man said:

"The innate gods and demons who have been waiting outside the world for a long time have been rioting continuously recently, and more than ten great gods and demons have gathered outside Xuandu City.

"Taiqing has transferred many immortals who came with you...your father has also been transferred."

Li Ping'an:...

My father had just become a Golden Immortal, and he was going to fight against the innate gods and demons?

Isn’t this a meat bun beating a dog? Ahem, isn’t this forcing someone to do something difficult?

"Don't let anything happen to my father."

"Don't worry, Pindao will take care of himself," the Faceless Man of Heaven sighed, "Your father is also Pindao's teacher. He has made a lot of contributions to Pindao's improvement, letting Pindao know how to use the weak to build the world. Order can open the eyes of poor people and understand the true nature of human nature."

Li Ping'an couldn't help but smile.

He didn't say much and quickly began to retreat.

In the next month, he would not only review the past and learn new things, but also ponder deeper truths, so time was really not enough.

And Li Ping'an didn't expect that the first and second lessons of the spirit in the coffin would be...

Practical teaching.

…

Xuandu City.

Li Dazhi squatted at the corner of the city wall, looking at the chaotic and unclear clouds of gray outside the walls of Xuandu City.

Good guy, Master Xuandu has been fighting monsters here for these long years, right?

In the past few months, Li Dazhi has really opened his eyes.

He originally thought that the monsters in the prehistoric world were the four or five different monsters produced by the hybridization of monsters. However, after the several battles to defend Xuandu City, he realized that there were so many types of monsters in the prehistoric world.

There are no certainties in the Sea of ​​Chaos, so the appearance of the innate gods and demons can be arbitrary.

Li Dazhi saw 'bacteria' that were tens of thousands of miles long - they looked like mononuclear cell structures and were covered with flagella;

I also saw a big-headed monster with hundreds of various heads, and one person could make hundreds of sounds;

There is also a mass of sludge that is sometimes solid and sometimes liquid, like a monster;

A boxy, nearly perfect square box;

A 'succubus' with only one mouth on her head but a very graceful body...etc.

There are so many strange things that it is difficult to describe them in detail.

According to Master Xuandu, when he first came to take charge, these innate gods and demons were even more diverse in appearance. At that time, it was difficult to describe the appearance of these innate gods and demons in words.

But after long years of fighting, the innate gods and demons are gradually being influenced and assimilated by heaven and earth.

It looks better now.

Li Dazhi asked why Pangu looked so pleasing to the eye.

Master Xuandu replied - it was Pangu who defined what Tao body is, and the aesthetics of prehistoric creatures is based on this.

As long as Xuandu City does not fall and the film of heaven and earth that wraps the world will not collapse, these innate gods and demons will be suppressed by the rules of heaven and earth as long as they enter the prehistoric world, and they will not be able to exert their strength to a certain extent.

Xuandu City has therefore become the focus of attacks by these innate gods and demons.

but……

"When will this thing be finished?"

Li Dazhi squatted there and was confused for a while.

He still has a lot of things to do, so it's a bit of a waste of time to watch a group of powerful masters fight monsters here every day.

Just as he was thinking about it, the chaotic aura suddenly began to surge ahead, and waves of gray energy rushed towards Xuandu City like a tsunami. Xuandu City stood still like a rock.

More than a dozen figures rushed out of the city wall.

Master Xuandu raised his hand to summon the Tai Chi diagram, and the Qiankun ruler in his hand made a trembling sound.

Jin Ling, Taiyi and other masters all took out their heavy treasures and looked at the surging aura of chaos.

Hundreds of randomly arranged giant eyes suddenly appeared in the aura, and huge shadows emerged within them.

The Archmage shouted loudly, and the immortals threw their treasures and attacked the place where the giant eye was with all their strength.

Li Dazhi had the experience of being dizzy for a while after looking at these giant eyes, but now he quickly shrank his head and hid after just one glance.

"I'll go, it's this big-eyed monster again. Don't let seven or eight big gods and demons come at once this time."

There was also the sound of flapping wings exploding from all directions.

One after another, giant insects with strange shapes flew out of the Chaos Sea and rolled towards Xuandu City overwhelmingly.

Li Dazhi's eyes lit up and he immediately grabbed several spiritual treasures.

He can't defeat the big monsters, but the small monsters can help.

that is……

Fighting is not as interesting as doing logistics.

Li Dazhi sighed secretly in his heart, thinking about Zhuyun Sect, Xizhou Baizu Supervision Department and many other things, and began to think of excuses for him to leave.

‘I don’t know what’s going on over there in Ping An. ’

‘This transcendent person is really cheating. He has already transcended himself, and yet he still wants to come to other worlds to cause trouble, without respecting martial ethics. ’

Strange-looking insects quickly filled the formation outside Xuandu City.

More than a dozen Taoist masters attacked the great gods and demons with all their strength, but they also had to take action to clean up these 'little monsters' and began to consume their own immortal power.

If the Archmage was the only one here, even though Xuandu City would be suppressed by Taijitu and would not be lost, it would still take a lot of effort, and he would be exhausted every time.

Taiqing called in masters such as Jin Ling and Taiyi to help, which greatly comforted the Archmage.

So, a few more months passed.

The fierce fighting in Xuandu City continued intermittently, and Li Dazhi lost weight twice.

On this day, the Archmage finally remembered Li Dazhi. After a fierce battle with the innate gods and demons, his figure fell beside Li Dazhi.

"Fellow Taoist, why are you still here?"

Li Dazhi:...

Didn't your master ask me to come?

I've been fighting monsters here for half a year, and you really haven't noticed it at all?

Li Dazhi smiled and said: "I just want to contribute to the peace of heaven and earth here."

"I see," the Archmage narrowed his eyes with a smile, "But this place is too dangerous after all. My fellow Taoist, you are not good enough to come here to fight the enemy, so why not go back first... Where is the roc?"

Li Dazhi said: "I asked him to go back to Lingjiu Mountain to guard him. If he comes out safely after listening to the lecture, he can get to where he needs to go faster."

"Then I'll give fellow Taoist a ride."

The Great Master casually summoned the Qiankun Ruler, one foot shook the universe, and the other opened a passage. The end of the passage was the void near the main heaven and earth.

"Please! Thank you fellow Taoist for fighting fiercely with the innate gods and demons here!"

"Thank you, Archmage."

Li Dazhi glanced at the masters who were meditating, and happily ended his journey of fighting monsters.

He stepped across the gap between heaven and earth, turned around in the void and bowed to the Archmage, then disappeared and sneaked, watching the gap between heaven and earth disappear quietly, and then took the road back to the main world.

Halfway through the journey, Li Dazhi picked his nostrils, looked at the light spots that represented the main heaven and earth, and wondered whether he should go to Lingjiu Mountain first.

How could he not worry about his own child's unknown situation...huh?

Li Dazhi suddenly frowned and squatted down subconsciously. Then he remembered that he was hiding in the void.

He adjusted his direction slightly, chasing the shallow marks left in the void, the tip of his nose twitching slightly.

‘Xihe’s body fragrance? ’

‘It’s unmistakable, it’s the inner heavenly spirit! ’

Li Dazhi thought about it for a while, and several options emerged in his mind. A was to catch up by himself, B was to be wary of traps and call someone first, and C was to turn a blind eye and not take any risks.

Subsequently, Li Dazhi decisively chose A, B and C.

Call someone first, then catch up, and try to keep a distance so that you don't end up in danger.

He took out a few messenger jade charms, quickly wrote a few sentences, and transformed his body into a seasoned Taoist, quietly following these traces that were about to disappear.

At Li Pingan's memorial platform, the Faceless Man of Heaven looked at Li Pingan who was being pushed to the ground and beaten. After some thought, he took away part of his mind and protected Li Dazhi.

When Li Dazhi discovered the traces of the gods from the inner heaven, the heaven was induced by itself.

Because the opponent is the Inner Heavenly Dao, the Faceless Man cannot tell now whether this is a trap or whether Li Dazhi's great luck is at work.

The foothold chosen by the Archmage for Li Dazhi cannot be predicted by the Inner Heavenly Dao gods, and the possibility of a trap ahead is not high.

at the same time.

Where the spirit in the coffin was teaching, a thin old man took off his robe and only wore trousers, revealing eight extremely thick arms from behind. He pressed Li Ping'an on the high platform, and his eight fists erupted into boundless fist shadows. Covering Li Ping'an's body completely.

Li Ping'an had some difficulty breathing, and kept letting out low growls.

Gui Lingling was not far away, holding wound medicine and elixirs. She looked at the master's nephew who was beaten by the transcendent with a distressed face. She wanted to speak but didn't know how to persuade him.

This kind of beating has made the master's nephew's physical strength improve by leaps and bounds.

Although the process was a bit painful, it was certainly not intentional abuse by the detached people.

Li Ping'an suddenly roared, and his body seemed to have some imaginary blockage suddenly unblocked. Strong blood energy erupted around him, pushing the old man transformed from the spirit in the coffin directly into the air.

The spirit in the coffin was slightly startled.

The entrance is open again?

He couldn't help but frown and looked down at Li Ping'an.

The ‘five-year course’ originally designed for Li Ping’an has been completed in just over half a year.

If all the contents of the second and third classes are taken out, will this guy's strength improve too quickly, and he will have nothing to teach after three or four lectures?

However, Li Ping'an didn't give him a chance to think too much.

In the large sunken pit in the middle of the high platform, Li Ping'an slowly climbed up, and the blood covering his body quickly dried up. During this time, all the spiritual energy had been absorbed by his body.

He took a sharp breath, and his body swelled rapidly. The five elements of spiritual energy in the small world were quickly absorbed by Li Pingan like hundreds of rivers returning to the sea.

Li Ping'an shouted and soared into the sky, exploding a series of sound barrier circles along the way.

The old Taoist transformed from the spirit in the coffin had adjusted his combat power, and was directly pushed away by Li Ping'an at this moment.

The shadows of fists trembled, fists and feet clashed, the universe trembled, and the sky collapsed and the earth roared.

Gui Lingling opened her little mouth slightly and praised:

"Dear me, Grandmaster's nephew has made a breakthrough again."

At the spiritual platform inside Li Pingan's body, the faceless man of that day frowned tightly, wondering whether he should tell Li Pingan what Li Dazhi wanted to do.

This is too risky.
