The fairy father

Li Jing's face turned red and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Li Ping'an took a bite of food and said, "Everyone just eat as if I'm not here."

Several disciples picked up the chopsticks in unison, lowered their heads to pick up the vegetables, and started to cook.

Li Jing looked ashamed: "Your Majesty, I didn't expect that I would alarm you with this little thing."

"Don't feel guilty, I'm just passing by here," Li Ping'an responded casually, "Ning Ning came back to see me. I came to see Ning Ning and see if there have been any changes in the sect. The sect has developed well in recent years and the number of disciples has increased. Several times, many of them are people with long luck and outstanding qualifications.”

The elders at the next table smiled and nodded.

Elder Yan Sheng took a few puffs of dry smoke and looked at the backs of Li Pingan and Li Jing with a smile on his face.

Li Ping'an asked: "Li Jing, you haven't answered my question yet. Don't think that this is a private occasion, so you can't be punished."

Li Jing smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, I have not been squeezed out. My colleagues in Heaven treat me very well. Because of my status as a disciple of the Zhuyun Sect, the seniors of the human race will also take special care of me."

"Then why are you depressed?"

"It's not depression," Li Jing sighed. "There are so many stars in heaven. Li Jing is really not very eye-catching here. He is looked down upon by others because of his status as a disciple of Zhuyun Sect, but he has no commendable military achievements."

Li Ping'an couldn't help but laugh: "Do you think you are not appreciating your talent?"

"Your Majesty, you have defeated Li Jing."

Li Jing smiled bitterly:

“I just feel that I am not strong enough, not because I am unappreciated.

"Heaven can conquer countless warriors, and Li Jing can learn the skills of ancient human heroes for thousands of years.

"I'm just a little monk who walked out of the mountain gate. I can't compare with him. It's better to follow the master and give up my position to those who are more talented."

Li Ping'an said: "Are you serious?"

"Yes," Li Jing lowered his head and responded.

"Are there any veterans from the ancient human race putting pressure on you?"

"Not at all," Li Jing thought for a while, "As far as I know, there is no such situation. The generals in the heaven have always been happy to get along with each other in private. Everyone talks more about which Chang'e in the Moon Palace has a better figure."

Li Ping'an nodded to show that he understood, and gave Li Jing a bite of green vegetables.

"You have lost your confidence."

Li Jing sighed and lowered his head in silence.

Li Ping'an said: "I thought you had been wronged. I, the Emperor of Heaven, have been practicing in seclusion outside. I am afraid that I have neglected my family... Alas, there is no need to think so much. It's just that you walked with the Heavenly Court through the initial difficulties. Time, this contribution is immeasurable and cannot be shaken by others.”

"Your Majesty, we all know your kindness and righteousness."

Li Jing smiled bitterly:

"I want to rest in the sect and practice in seclusion for a period of time."

"What's the purpose of seclusion? Heaven is short of one or two golden immortals?"

Li Pingan looked at Li Jing and said seriously:

"Heaven is currently lacking talents like King Dong, who can command the overall situation, coordinate the troops, know people well and use them without envying the talented, who can defeat more with less in war, and can control casualties to a very small number when defeating with more. .

"Is this what cultivation can give you? Eat, how can you drink if you don't eat?"

Li Jing subconsciously picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of green vegetables.

The disciples at the same table continued to work hard.

With a soft ding sound, Li Ping'an and Li Jing clinked glasses and drank the fairy wine in one gulp.

After three rounds of wine, the five flavors of food are gone.

There were already many disciples outside this hall who came to watch the Emperor's appearance after hearing the news.

Most of the disciples who had boasted about "what I did with the Emperor of Heaven" on weekdays felt a little guilty at this moment.

Li Ping'an saw that Li Jing was slightly drunk, so he took the initiative to say:

"Li Jing, you don't have to be unsure.

"Those human heroes all followed the Human Emperor to fight all the way, and those who survived were all veterans who had experienced battles for a long time, but Heavenly Court cannot only have veterans.

“The divine position in heaven cannot remain unchanged, otherwise, over time, power will inevitably lead to corruption and its own degradation.

“The divine ranks and positions in heaven are separate, which I have considered before, especially the generals.

"You come from Zhuyun Sect and Tiandi Academy. This background is already full. Among the students of your school at the same time, you are one of the best."

Li Jing almost knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, can you personally persuade Li Jing? Li Jing dare not die without service. You need Li Jing to be in heaven, and Li Jing will continue to serve in heaven."

"You are not in a good state now. You will just continue to be depressed when you return to heaven."

Li Pingan said without leaving any trace:

"Now that the great catastrophe has begun, all parties are plotting. I intend to place a few close followers in the catastrophe. Are you willing to risk your life?"

"willing!"

Li Jing's eyes were shining and he said: "Li Jing is willing to go through fire and water for His Majesty!"

"You don't have to go through fire and water."

Li Ping'an smiled and took the new wine flask handed by the female disciple on the side, added a glass of wine to Li Jing, and continued to give instructions:

“The situation of this catastrophe has been basically determined now, and it will take place in Nanzhou.

"Nanzhou is now a mortal place, and it will soon change. The Juetian Formation will be opened. If everything goes well, Nanzhou will suppress the power of the immortals. If you enter with such a level of cultivation, you will not be able to exert your full power. One, and it will also be banned.

“This is a secret, don’t tell anyone, the Holy Mother is currently working on transforming the formation.

"The center of Nanzhou is called Shang State. The rule of Shang State is now unstable. There are 800 vassal states under his rule. These vassal states have been divided into four camps according to their directions. Except for the northern camp, the other three All the vassal states in the direction have disobedience.

"There will be turmoil there, and great disaster will depend on the survival of the Shang Kingdom.

"I will send you to the Shang Kingdom later. Go now. Before the Juetian Formation opens, all you need to do is to hide your identity as an immortal and find a military general position in the Shang Kingdom. The position should not be too high. Just have all the troops in one place.

"Then you have to marry a wife and have children. This is the most important thing. Have as many children as you can.

"Remember, everything is so that Heaven can take more initiative during the great catastrophe."

Li Jing nodded solemnly and said in a voice: "The last general takes orders!"

"Do you have anyone else you can trust?"

Li Pingan asked seemingly casually:

"We can place as many as we can. They must be loyal to Heaven."

Li Jing thought for a while and replied in a voice: "In the end, there will be a few brothers who have close friendships, but..."

"It's just what? No need to hesitate, there are no outsiders here."

"A few of them are from the Demon Infant Army."

Li Jing looked a little embarrassed and said:

"You may not know that the Demon Infant Army is the hundreds of thousands of Demon Infants you rescued originally. Although they have been classified as heavenly soldiers and generals, they are still disliked by others.

"The last general was previously responsible for looking after and supervising the Demon Infant Army, and occasionally interacted with them. Later, he became familiar with them and often drank together."

Li Ping'an pondered slightly.

The Demon Infant Army, could it be?

"What are their names?"

"They didn't have surnames originally, so they simply called themselves the four brothers of the Demon Family."

Li Ping'an:...

Good guy, does the Demon Infant Army still have such a saying?

Li Jing was worried and said: "Your Majesty, if you have a grudge against the Demon Infant Army, I can vouch for them. After the Demon Infants were enlightened, they also knew that they were true spirits from outside the world and entered the order of living beings. When they conquered Little World before, , they are often the most ferocious when charging into battle, just to avoid being looked down upon.”

"Not that I'm worried about that."

Li Pingan said:

"As you know, I have a foster sister. She is the leader of the Demon Infant Army. How can I have a grudge against the Demon Infant Army?

"It's just that most of the demon babies are mentally retarded."

"The mental retardation your Majesty mentioned was already a problem three to four hundred years ago. After Her Majesty Yao Ji entered the realm of immortals, the Demon Infant Army was completely freed."

Li Jing explained:

"They are no different from ordinary people."

Li Ping'an nodded: "Then you take them with you and give you my token to convince them."

While talking, Li Ping'an took out a jade bottle from his sleeve, which was surrounded by his unique Taoist rhyme and a touch of heavenly pressure.

"There are five nine-turn golden elixirs inside. Laojun refined them. This thing can help you survive."

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Li Jing said with cupped hands and put the jade bottle into his sleeve.

At this moment, his eyes were filled with brilliance, and he was completely different from before.

Li Ping'an also roughly understood Li Jing's temperament.

To put it bluntly, he just refuses to be mediocre.

"Remember to read more about the Art of War and Strategy."

"Please remember this, general!"

…

Dong'an City, in a restaurant with a good business.

Qingsu was sitting in her exclusive private room. There was a long queue of maids outside the door. Each maid held a jade plate with automatic heat preservation and freshness protection in her hand. Inside the plate was a variety of new dishes.

Fairy Yun Bing's reputation as a gourmet is already well-known in Dong'an City.

As long as the dish can make her a repeat customer, it will be popular in Dong'an City for a while.

Suddenly I heard shouts coming from outside the door:

"His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven has appeared in Zhuyun Sect!"

Then there was the noise of people, and a group of Qi Refiners who were excited for some unknown reason began to call their friends and rush towards the Zhuyun Sect.

Qing Su was a little puzzled.

Is his apprentice something rare? As for raising troops and crowds to watch like this?

Although Li Ping'an hadn't seen him for dozens or even hundreds of years when he was in seclusion before, she would still miss her apprentice a little, and would go to Xuandu City to stay for a while, so that she could feel more at ease after seeing him.

‘This is just a kind of care from a master to his disciples. ’

Qing Su explained this.

The noisy people outside the window gradually faded away, and countless streams of light flew out of Dong'an City, flying towards Zhuyun Sect.

"Eh? What fun are you going to see?"

Gui Lingling's slightly childish voice sounded from outside the door.

The two maids bowed their heads to make way, and the turtle spirit wearing an emerald green skirt jumped up to Qing Su.

"Wow, so much delicious food! Get me a pair of chopsticks!"

Qingsu pursed her lips slightly to express her dissatisfaction: "Don't you have to stay with Teacher Sage?"

"Um--"

Gui Ling stretched out, and the white bra under her short skirt shone brightly.

"Master is worried, and we disciples can't help him much.

"The catastrophe of Taoist immortals becoming gods is coming soon. The catastrophe will inevitably fall within one or two hundred years at the latest. All the immortals of the Tao sect are in the catastrophe."

Qingsu thought for a while: "Dongzhou is also a little uneasy. There has been a fight between Chan Jie and Da Chengda before."

Gui Ling sat on Qing Su's right hand, took the chopsticks brought by the maid, tasted the delicious food on the table, and said softly:

"I have asked Senior Brother about this. Some sects are arranged by us, and some are not.

"There are still people behind this who want to fish in troubled waters and deliberately cause trouble."

Qingsu asked: "Western religion?"

"It's possible," Gui Ling clucked her little mouth, "This matter is in deep water. Without the protection of the Human Emperor, various sects have begun to emphasize that they are the successors of some great religions. Many of them claim to be the Chan Jiao. , The inheritance left by Immortal Jiejiao is just to put money on his face so that he can recruit disciples. "

Qingsu put down her chopsticks and thought carefully.

Turtle Spirit whispered: "Qingqing, are you worried?"

"Just thinking about the great tribulation."

Qingsu obviously didn't move her mouth, but Qingmei's face gave people the impression that she was smiling.

She said softly: "Eating the king's salary, being a god in heaven always has to consider these things. Don't let monsters cause trouble, and don't let powerful people bully the weak. This is what heavenly gods should do."

"Yes, yes, my great heroine."

Turtle Spirit made a face:

"I am also a god in heaven, but I don't worry about that.

"It's time to eat, it's time to drink. Don't take everything to heart. If a disaster comes, we will run away. If we say peace, we will not fall!"

Qing Su almost laughed out loud.

Turtle Spirit whispered: "However, there is something. I am hesitant whether to tell Ping An."

"What's the matter?"

"My two senior sisters are discussing whether we should find a way to make Ping An prefer our teaching."

"Preferring to intercept and teach? This should be unlikely. You know his temperament."

"Yes," Gui Ling sighed, "As the beneficiary of the Dao Immortal Tribulation, Heavenly Court will inevitably be criticized by others. It would be best to do nothing at this time... However, the two senior sisters decided to use some very special methods. s method."

"Extraordinary means?"

"It is said that the Emperor of Heaven is not fond of women, but good women are powerful."

Gui Ling's pretty face turned red and she whispered:

"The one we intercept the most is the powerful female, isn't it? They want to choose a female fairy from the Da Luo Jin Fairyland to have an affair with Ping An, just like the female demon."

Qing Su didn't know how to comment for a moment.

This method indeed seems to have been thought up by Immortal Jie Jiao.

Turtle Spirit asked in a low voice: "What do you think of this method?"

"not so good."

Qing Su gently tapped the edge of the table with the end of her chopsticks. The maid outside the door quickly moved forward, removed the table seats in front of her, and placed a new batch.

She couldn't help complaining:

"It's not like you don't know what his true nature is. Those claims of a powerful woman are all lies.

"After he established his great ambition, he had an entanglement with Zi Yao's identity. He made a covenant with her at that time, and then they finally became a couple step by step.

"When I heard that he was about to leave seclusion, do you know why the Queen Mother was so nervous? She was just afraid that when he came back he would see too many heavenly rules and that she usually punished sinners too harshly, and thus misunderstood her cruel temperament.

"But compared to the Queen Mother, he prefers Ning Ning, who is always obedient to him.

"Acting with such a purpose will only make him disgusted."

Turtle Spirit blinked: "What about you?"

Qing Su's action of picking up vegetables paused slightly, and then continued naturally.

"I am his first master and he is my disciple. This is enough. I don't want to serve him like a master."

Turtle Spirit chuckled: "Okay, then I'll send them a message... Huh?"

Qingsu asked: "What's wrong?"

"The restriction on Yao Ji has been triggered," Gui Ling blinked, "She came out of the Donghai Fairy Island where she was in seclusion and is heading towards Dongzhou. Shall I go pick her up?"

"Besides here, where else can she go?"

Qingsu said softly:

"She's not young anymore. She doesn't need to continue taking care of her like she did back then. How about trying new dishes."

"okay."

At the same time, Western Lingshan.

In the sage's courtyard, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Zhunti's mouth, and a lotus flower floated around him, and the lotus quickly disappeared into nothingness.
