The fairy father

"That must be won!"

On Jin'ao Island, inside Biyou Palace.

Hundreds of Immortals were sitting around Li Ping'an, listening to Li Ping'an introducing the rules of the Battle of the Gods, and looking at the 120 incarnations of Heaven's Dao arranged neatly not far away, everyone had different opinions for a while.

They really didn't expect it.

Now not only do you no longer have to die, but you also have the opportunity to compete with the Immortal of Chanjiao.

It’s now time to become famous!

Taoist Duobao frowned and asked, "Does Chanjiao agree?"

"otherwise?"

Li Ping'an said warmly: "I just came from Yuxu Palace, and they have already given a definite answer. Later, up to one hundred and twenty immortals will be selected to join the Great Tribulation of the Gods, and we will decide the winner from the land of Nanzhou." up and down."

The Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit said: "Why don't we fight with real swords and guns? I see a lot of dissatisfaction over there."

"Eh!"

Zhao Gongming quickly grabbed the Golden Spirit Mother and said seriously:

"This is just Jin Ling's impulsive words. Please don't blame me, Taoist Master."

"Uncle Gongming, you're welcome," Li Ping'an said, "If you have any questions, you can ask them directly."

"Your Majesty, when will the Nanzhou dynasty change?"

"I don't know the details of this. Heaven has stopped planning this matter. Everything depends on its own evolution."

"If it all depends on evolution, then which side do we support?"

"It depends on how you choose."

Li Pingan smiled and said:

“There are two camps here, one is the princes and the other is the Shang Kingdom.

"Before talking about the Shang Kingdom, let me first tell you how the Xia Kingdom was replaced by the Shang Kingdom?"

All the immortals in Jiejiao cheered up.

They don't want to lose.

If you lose, you will not only have to send more masters to heaven to be slaves, but also when you meet those immortals in heaven in the future, how will they raise their heads?

Just kidding, Immortal Jiejiao would rather have his head broken and shed blood than live with his tail between his legs!

Gui Lingling took out a small notebook: "Quickly tell me and I will remember it!"

Many Jie Jiao Xian followed suit.

Li Ping'an laughed dumbly and said slowly:

"There are records in the Heavenly Dao here that the Great Xia Kingdom under the Juetian Formation was originally the inheritor of the position of Human Emperor.

“But at the end of summer, a tyrant appeared who was violent and liked to kill people for sacrifice.

"The land of Nanzhou at this time is actually quite peaceful. The area that Xia State can rule is not too big. Xia State and his vassal states unite, and their influence can occupy two-thirds of the land area. Each vassal state has The exotic beasts they have domesticated are the main reason why they can maintain such a large territory.

“When the Xia Kingdom was overthrown, there were actually three internal reasons.

"First, the conflicts between the princes and the Xia Kingdom are getting bigger and bigger. The feudal system used by the Xia Kingdom is still relatively primitive. In order to suppress the development of the princes, conflicts are inevitable.

“Secondly, the core forging technology mastered by the Xia Kingdom was gradually learned by the princes.

"The third thing is the tyranny of the last Xia king, which made the princes, ministers, scholar-bureaucrats and even slaves extremely afraid.

“If things continue like this, King Xia will lose his virtue.

"There are also a series of changes here, such as the Xia nobles drank excessively, and a large amount of grain was used to make wine to keep them drunk. There were also Qiang people from the northwest who invaded and looted the capital of Xia, which greatly damaged the strength of the Xia people.

“At this time, in the eastern part of the Xia Kingdom, a place with luxuriant water and grass and a developed water system, a tribe quickly emerged.

"That is the current ruler of Nanzhou, the merchant."

All the immortals from Jiejiao were silent in thought.

They really don't understand.

Is there any internal connection here?

Li Pingan continued:

"The exotic beast domesticated by the merchant tribe is a kind of buffalo. This kind of buffalo has amazing endurance and can transport heavy goods on land and water. In the process of supplying goods, the merchants maintained close contact with the major tribes in the east. These tribes created the illusion that they were very powerful. Then, Xia State was in internal turmoil. Shang State heard the news and united about a dozen tribes to march towards the capital of Xia State.

"In fact, there was not much fierce fighting, and the defenders on Xia's side were defeated one after another.

"As they arrived at the capital of the Xia Kingdom, the allied forces of the eastern tribal lords rushed in, looted the city, and took away a large amount of wealth in the core area of ​​the Xia Kingdom, handicraft producers, the most critical blacksmiths, and even a large number of sacrifices. Inherited from the past.

"The merchants are the masters of the coalition, and more than a dozen princes in this coalition have made an alliance together.

"Later, as the merchants gradually conquered the outside world and established their own rule, more than a dozen princes united into one, and this was the prototype of the merchants.

"The merchant Dai Xia was not the abdication of the Five Emperors in ancient times, nor was he the bloodline of Dayu. Most of the princes in various places were dissatisfied.

"In order to consolidate their rule, deal with excess prisoners of war, and intimidate tribes and princes everywhere, merchants developed a bloody ritual."

Gui Lingling said with a sudden look on her face: "Human sacrifice!"

"In the beginning, humans were sacrificed. Merchants originally liked to use dogs to sacrifice themselves," Li Ping'an sighed. "At this time, it became human sacrifices to use prisoners of war and slaves. Later, when building new houses and new palaces, they also started to kill several slaves. Laying the foundation, and then gradually evolved into using living people instead of animals to sacrifice to heaven and earth.”

The immortals of Jiejiao didn't have much emotion.

Most of them are non-human.

When Li Ping'an talked about this in Yuxu Palace, many immortals and gods who were born in the human race were quite angry.

Daozhu Li continued:

“During the years when the Shang Kingdom ruled Nanzhou, the practice of human sacrifice gradually became more and more popular, so much so that merchants from all over the country followed suit.

“However, we must also see that many vassal states, especially those ancient vassal states that were subject to the Shang Dynasty, did not follow the cruel habits of the Shang people.

“Today, a situation similar to that in the late Xia Dynasty has reappeared... Uncle Ling, what do you say?”

“Ah? Me?”

Turtle Lingling’s round face was full of shock.

She had just drawn the touching story of ‘Turtle Mother took the turtle eldest son, second son, third son, and fourth son to find the turtle father’ in her little notebook, and she was really a little confused at this moment.

Zhao Gongming said: “The contradictions between the Shang people and the vassal states in various places have become prominent, and the advantages of the Shang State over the vassal states have gradually disappeared. In addition, the Shang people have used human sacrifices to consolidate their rule.”

“Yes,” Li Ping’an gave a thumbs up, “So, in fact, there is no need for the Heavenly Dao to arrange anything. This drama in Nanzhou will happen by itself. The Shang people are too cruel, and the vassal states have long been restless. What’s more, the overall strength of the vassal states has exceeded the strength of the Shang people by a lot, and there must be war here. "

The immortals nodded.

Duobao said: "I finally understand. If we support one side, as long as that side wins, we win?"

"Yes," Li Pingan said slowly, "Basically speaking, when the change of dynasties in Nanzhou subsides, whoever supports the winning force will be the winner. If the forces supported by the Chan and Jie sects both lose, then the points of each party will be compared... The final win or loss will provide a large amount of points enough to decide the outcome. We are essentially a points system."

"I understand."

"Do you have any questions? Feel free to ask now. I will not appear again until the catastrophe is over. "

The Jiejiao immortals looked at each other. Although there were still many unclear points, they did not want to ask proactively.

It is better to ask the magic weapons in their hands than to ask the Heavenly Dao.

This is the rule of Jiejiao.

Seeing this, Li Pingan nodded and said seriously: "We have now passed the biggest crisis, but it does not mean that the catastrophe has passed. The final catastrophe is the end of the life of heaven and earth. The four plans I made in the Heavenly Palace will be accelerated. Uncle Guiling can come to the Heavenly Palace to live permanently later, but you should help Jiejiao to fight. "

"Of course!"

Guiling raised his head and said: "We don't have to fight desperately, just use the incarnation, and the incarnation is still given by the Heavenly Dao! What are you afraid of!"

Li Pingan smiled and bowed.

"Then, I'll take my leave first, take care of yourself."

A wisp of smoke appeared under his feet, and his figure was about to disappear.

Duobao's eyes turned and shouted: "There is one more thing! Ping'an!"

"Huh? Uncle said it. "

"That's right. We have recruited a group of disciples in Nanzhou before. Can we not use these 120 incarnations for this group of disciples?"

Duobao blinked, with a pure and harmless face.

The corners of Li Ping'an's soul twitched slightly.

Good guy, the same question was asked by both the Chan and Jie sects.

Obviously, in order to increase the chances of winning in this Conferred God Contest, both sides are prepared to use the method of adding disciples to find loopholes in his set of rules.

Li Ping'an was vague: "Not too many, it's still acceptable."

After speaking, his figure gradually faded, leaving only a wisp of light smoke, and then disappeared.

The Jie sect immortals looked at each other.

An immortal whispered: "Does this mean that it is approved?"

"Do we still need to recruit more disciples?"

"It's too late, the new disciples also need to practice, and Nanzhou is also under the pressure of the Juetian formation, and the disciples can't show any strength."

"The Chan sect must also do it. Don't look at their sanctimonious appearance, each one is insidious and cunning. "

"Let's discuss the serious matters first," Duobao said, "Master said that we should handle this matter by ourselves. He didn't show up and went to go fishing with Master Taiqing. We can only win this battle, not lose! No one needs to die, so why be afraid? Just fight them! This feud should be settled!"

"That's right!"

"Fight them!"

"Crush Yuxu!"

Duobao frowned and said, "Take this junior brother who tried to escalate the conflict out and check his soul to see if there is any transcendent... Oh, yes, the transcendent has left. Check if his soul has Maitreya, evil demons, and their restrictions. "

A group of Jiejiao masters burst into laughter.

The immortal who shouted the four-word slogan turned red, and hesitantly said that he had drunk too much.

Duobao Taoist waved his hand, and dozens of Jiejiao core masters heard his voice at the same time.

"There are too many fellow disciples here, everyone, don't leave for a while, let's have a small meeting, the nature of this fight has changed, whoever wins and loses between our two sects will become an allusion between heaven and earth.

"This is also related to the ideological dispute between Master and Second Uncle.

"The Chanjiao follows the principle of not passing on the law lightly, and we follow the principle of fighting for a glimmer of life, and all things can be practiced.

"This debate that has lasted from ancient times to the present should also come to an end."

The masters nodded at the same time.

Gui Lingling asked in a voice transmission: "Then, Senior Brother, should I go to the Heavenly Palace to inquire about the situation?"

"No need," Duobao said, "This incarnation of the Heavenly Dao will only suppress your strength in proportion. We are much stronger than the Chan Sect in general. This is the advantage of Master's philosophy! In the future, there will be no so-called destiny, no distinction between karma and merit. This is our biggest benefit. Even if we lose, it doesn't matter as long as we don't lose too badly."

Zhao Gongming smiled and said, "In that case, I will lead the charge!"

"Brother, don't be impulsive," said Fairy Yunxiao, "Everything should be considered in the long run. If you can win, you can't lose."

All the fairies nodded.

...

After a visit to the Chan and Jie sects, the matter of conferring the gods was roughly settled.

Li Ping'an turned and went to the Lingshan area.

He observed in the dark for a while and found that his father Li Dazhi was drinking with Randeng, Dapeng, Cihang Taoist, and Dizang to prepare his Lingshan transformation leadership team. He couldn't help but chuckle.

Li Ping'an did not show up.

Because he found that now Randeng, Cihang, and even Dapeng were a little afraid of Li Dazhi.

That's right, his father has the potential to become the second old man Wangri.

Who would underestimate him now?

Li Ping'an stood in the air for a long time, and what passed through his heart was the various exchanges between him and Teacher Wangri over the past few hundred years.

Because his father was here, he couldn't call him that father in his heart.

In practical terms, these are two pairs of father and son, existing in different timelines. Wangri found them by twisting time and space and cutting off cause and effect through reincarnation.

In fact, there should be two reasons that can really free Wangri.

The first is to save Li Pingan who was seriously injured;

The other is to see another self.

And this self, under the current possibility, does not have to endure the pain and suffering like him.

‘Maybe so, I am not him. ’

Li Pingan turned and floated away, like a feather, floating back to the heaven.

In the next few days, he concentrated on accompanying his family.

After the integration of the Tao, the Tao of Heaven became an extension of his thinking. Although Li Pingan still needs to comprehend the key tricks of practicing and realizing the Tao, he can already do the ‘slow hanging up in the background’, allowing the Tao of Heaven to help him comprehend by himself.

It’s just that the efficiency of this hanging up is too low. I am afraid that he will not be able to reach the realm of saints until the destruction of the world.

Conferred God is also his last free time.

In fact, it is not free time. He has to focus on a key and difficult road during this period of time-the road of all living beings.

Only by getting close to all living beings and observing the world from the perspective of a mortal can this road take the last few critical steps.

After the great catastrophe of the Conferred God, if the Way of All Living Beings is still insufficient, he will have to use a wisp of soul to reincarnate and continue to realize the Way.

When the Way of All Living Beings is complete, he will enter the core of the Way of Heaven and retreat to make the final preparations for the creation of the world.

That is the real way to survive the catastrophe!

Yao Chi, the Emperor of Heaven's bedroom, Mu Ningning's room.

Li Pingan appeared from the recliner. Mu Ningning, who was lying on the side reading a book, was frightened and shouted: "Brother! Why are you so quiet!"

"What are you reading?"

"The picture book I got from Dong'an City," Mu Ningning said with a smile, "Aren't you busy?"

Li Pingan said with a smile: "I was thinking of leaving my body here with you so that you won't get used to it."

"What's there to get used to?"

Mu Ningning jumped over with a smile and rubbed Li Pingan's shoulders:

"You have been running around for the sake of living beings and for the harmony of heaven and earth. I am satisfied that I can take care of the family and not cause you any trouble.

"Don't think about having to accompany me. Just do your business first. We will be together for a long time in the future. We will get together until you are tired of me. "

Li Pingan blinked, raised his hand and grabbed her hand, gently pulled, and Mu Ningning sat in his arms.

The couple looked at each other, and just as they were about to be affectionate, a bell suddenly rang in Li Pingan's ear.

He was slightly startled, and smiled apologetically at Mu Ningning.

Mu Ningning immediately stood up and said with a smile: "Go and get busy, I'll wait for you to come back."

"Okay," Li Pingan closed his eyes and concentrated, his mind moved away in an instant, and his body remained here.

The next moment.

The young Ji Dan opened his eyes and saw the gently shaking frame roof. The female guard beside him breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fourth Master! You finally woke up!"

"The king said that you went on a journey, and after you came back, you were taken care of by the gods. We were really scared to death!"

"Yes, you were unconscious for a long time this time! "

Li Pingan smiled, and when he raised his hand, he found that there was a small black bell on his wrist.

What kind of bell is this? It's just a shrunken Chaos Bell.

Li Pingan asked: "Just now I was drinking with the immortal in the sky. It seems that something happened here. The immortal told me that I should come back. Where are we?"

"You really saw the immortal!"

"This! Write it down! Report to the master!"

The female guards were very excited.

Li Pingan was a little helpless: "I'm asking what happened outside."

A familiar yet strange voice came from outside the carriage: "Old Four, it's me, I stopped your carriage, and I want to talk to you about something... Can I come in?"

Bo Yikao, Ji Kao?
