Chapter 354 Three Steps Of A Treatment
Is this the legendary first peacock in the world?
Li Changshou’s paper effigy stood on the cloud and looked in the direction where Kong Xuan had disappeared with the young girl. Waves of emotions surged in his heart.
Firstly, he had to apologize to the Great Daoist Master solemnly.
He had used the Great Daoist Master as a shield just now.
However, his intentions were definitely not bad! Moreover, he definitely did not promise anything on behalf of the Great Daoist Master. He only emphasized the Great Daoist Master’s current state of life… He tactfully mentioned the relationship situation of the old pure Yang. From the short conversation just now, he knew that Kong Xuan respected the Great Daoist Master. The records that he had seen in the ancient books were most likely just a simplified version. He thought that the situation back then should have been a lot more complicated…
As an unofficial disciple of the Saint, he could not say much about that matter.
Li Changshou did not obtain any more information regarding Kong Xuan’s origin from the conversation just now. He only confirmed that Kong Xuan was from the Phoenix Clan.
He could not ask about his origin directly.
Judging from Kong Xuan’s appearance this time, this expert from the phoenix race does not have any ill intentions towards the human race. Of course, he does not have any good intentions.
He was a typical Connate lifeform. His attitude towards the human race was from a different perspective. The human race was not important to him at all and in his opinion, they were dispensable. Youqin Xuanya was a little indignant just now. It was not wrong for her to want to punish the peacock demon who killed people. It was just that her perspective of the problem was different.
“Ah…”
Li Changshou sighed softly and turned to descend. If Kong Xuan really admires the Great Daoist Master, why can’t the Great Daoist Master sacrifice himself so as to get a powerful helper for Ren School? Hmph, the Great Daoist Master devises schemes every day to make me abduct Fairy Yun Xiao, but he rejected such an expert… It is the Eldest Senior Brother’s responsibility to set an example! Besides, if you don’t want to be in a romantic relationship with him, you can still be brothers.
It all works…
Li Changshou smiled in his heart. He suddenly thought of the title of the future Primordial World news article. “Shocking! Groundbreaking! Wonderful Piece Of News! During the fourth Dao preaching session in the Purple Cloud Palace, Daoist Wen and Kong Xuan, who were ruthless people of the Primordial World, actually fought because of the seat beside the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du!”
Just kidding, just kidding.
When Li Changshou thought about problems, he would usually try his best to think in a comprehensive manner. Thus, he could often come up with some interesting observations. For example, the peacock girl from before. Kong Xuan’s Yin and Yang had yet to be determined. He was also the first peacock in the world. In that case, how did this young peacock girl… come about?
Tsk, this question is quite philosophical.
The white clouds hung down and moonlight scattered.
Li Changshou looked at Youqin Xuanya, who had her head lowered and was staying silent. His mind raced as he thought about how he could let her know how dangerous it had been today…
By the way, when he had sent a voice transmission to Youqin Xuanya previously, he had realized that Kong Xuan did not intend to kill the human Qi Refinement cultivators there, so he did not want to appear.
In order to make Youqin Xuanya keep quiet, he used his own voice.
However, he did not expect that his immortal senses would be intercepted by Kong Xuan. In an extremely short period of time, Li Changshou could only make the choice to suffer the least losses.
He used his identity as the Little Daoist Master to stand up and make his toxic junior sister keep the secret. A few elders of the Immortal Du Sect bowed to Li Changshou and said, “Greetings, Senior. Thank you for saving us!” “Let’s settle these mortals first.”
Li Changshou looked at the figures in the metal cage and reminded, “Remember to explain to the mortal stewards. They have been frightened and need to recuperate.” The elders agreed in unison. “Yes!” They were not stupid. From the conversation between Li Changshou and Kong Xuan, they understood that Li Changshou was an expert of Ren School. Li Changshou had instructed them to do their best and deal with the matters carefully.
“Xuanya.” Li Changshou deliberately raised his head and said, “Follow me. I’ll teach you a Dharma spell.”
Youqin Xuanya knew that her Senior Brother Changshou did not want anyone to see through his identity. She nodded slightly and said, “Thank you, Senior.”
Li Changshou rode a cloud again and brought Youqin Xuanya to a cliff that was not too far away. He took out two meditation cushions and made an inviting gesture. Youqin Xuanya bowed slightly and sat down cross-legged. She lowered her head and looked at her slender fingers. Her eyes began to turn dim… Li Changshou raised his hand and set up an immortal power barrier around him. Then, he handed a blue jade token to Youqin Xuanya and instructed her, “Junior Sister Youqin, keep this with you. Don’t let anyone pry into your mind.” He addressed her as ‘Xuanya’ in front of others because he wanted to highlight his status as an expert and the Little Daoist Master. There was no need for him to address her that way in private.
“Thank you, Senior Brother.”
She sighed softly and muttered with a dejected expression, “Senior Brother Changshou… did I do something wrong again?” “Oh?”
Li Changshou sat down cross-legged and smiled. “What did you do wrong?” “That is clearly an existence that we cannot defeat.” Youqin Xuanya looked to the side and wanted to say something. “However, I feel… I feel…” In the end, she decided not to voice her thoughts. Her eyes were filled with sadness and self-reproach. Li Changshou smiled and continued, “You feel that even if you get killed and die there, you should voice up when you need to. You have to let those who deserve to be punished receive punishment… Is that so?”
First step of curing poison: Resonance Youqin Xuanya was slightly stunned. She turned to look at Li Changshou’s side profile and muttered, “Senior Brother…”
Li Changshou sighed softly and looked at the edge of the night sky. His voice became more distant. “Junior Sister Youqin, your personality is exactly the same as mine when I was not very sensible.”
Youqin Xuanya blinked and focused on the unfamiliar face. She listened carefully.
Li Changshou slowly explained, “However, Junior Sister Youqin, you are different from me. Even when you encountered setbacks and blows, you did not give up on what you are determined to do. I’m like most people. When I encounter one or two difficulties, I take the initiative to retract my harshness and become tactful. I let myself think about the environment around me and gradually become assimilated by it…” As he spoke, images of his previous life flashed across his mind, and he dismissed those thoughts.
“Junior Sister Youqin, I actually thought of how to lecture you just now. I should let you know the dangers of the Primordial World. I should let you know that if you went to provoke a mighty figure like that just now, you would only die for nothing. No matter how loudly you shouted, it would not have changed anything. You might even implicate the lives of those elders. I want to remind you of the survival rules of the weak. I want to remind you that you have to be careful with the methods you use. However, I suddenly realized… I just don’t want to admit that I was defeated by the environment and tell someone who dared to challenge the environment that she had to admit defeat like me. That’s all. Ah… Do you not understand?” Youqin Xuanya lowered her head and thought about it. Soon, she nodded obediently. “Yes!” “I’m praising you.” Youqin Xuanya blushed slightly and asked softly, “Senior Brother, are you saying that I’m very stubborn?”
“No, no, you’re not being stubborn. You’re just a little strong-headed.” Li Changshou shook his head. “I will not interfere with your decision on this matter. Similarly, I will not bear the karma that you have caused. However, Junior Sister, although there are some things that are not wrong in principle, you should consider your surroundings and the environment that you are in. I’m here in the form of an incarnation. It’s fine if I die. However, the elders, the generals, and even the existence of the Honglin Kingdom are all in the hands of that senior! Junior Sister Youqin, look here.”
Second step of the treatment: Cite an example.
Li Changshou waved his hand and a paper effigy used Earth Escape to appear. It carried a basket of… eggs.
Youqin Xuanya frowned and watched. Li Changshou picked up a huge rock and placed it in front of him. Then, he threw an egg on it.
Crack! The egg immediately shattered and the egg yolk and egg white splattered out. “Look, this is the consequence of your actions just now.”
Youqin Xuanya muttered, “The egg is broken…” “Moreover, it’s shattered.” Li Changshou took another egg and gently pushed it over. He gently pushed the rock, but the egg was not damaged at all.
Youqin Xuanya seemed to be in deep thought.
Li Changshou suddenly felt that he had accidentally become a “master” of some jokes from his previous
life.
However, he was serious about teaching and curing his toxic junior sister. He had to make Youdin Xuanya stop her headstrong behavior today.
“What did you think of?”.
“I have to pay attention to the method…”
Li Changshou smiled and handed the two eggs to Youqin Xuanya. “I’ll give you a question. Imagine you’re in the same environment as before. You still chose to stand up. You have to insist on punishing that Peacock girl and insist on doing justice as you deem fit. How should you express it so that the egg does not shatter and the stone will move gently?” Youqin Xuanya pursed her lips. She held an egg in each of her slender hands and slowly closed her eyes.
Li Changshou cast a mental seal and his ethereal voice sounded beside her ear.
“Junior Sister Youqin, your chivalrous heart is even more precious than the Dao Fruit of longevity. However, you have to remember that you have to use it in a suitable place to be powerful enough to protect it. Only then will it be able to emit a brighter light. Therefore, don’t be used by others. Learn to judge the situation and not be brave. Know when to advance and retreat. Purely doing the right thing is only suitable for the peaceful environment of cultivation in the mountains. In the Primordial World, right and wrong are intertwined. Nothing is absolutely right or wrong… I hope that you can learn how to protect yourself and the people around you. I also hope that you can maintain this precious and noble heart. I have already been tainted by the environment. I’m also afraid that I will one day lose the ability to judge between good and evil. With an existence like you, Junior Sister, you can remind me and illuminate me at any time…” The third step of the treatment: Give approval and assign a mission.
Gradually, Youqin Xuanya held the two eggs and entered a state of enlightenment…
Li Changshou remained calm and collected. He put away the jade token that he had prepared for many years in his left hand and felt the night breeze.
This time, it should be effective.
If that doesn’t work, I can only leave Toxic Junior Sister in the sect to cultivate and not let her run around.
Four hours later…
“Senior Brother Changshou, I will first point out the Dao heritage of Ren School and then talk about what happened today…”
Youqin Xuanya opened her eyes and paused.
The barrier around him was still there. The jade token hanging on the jade bracelet on his waist shone gently. However, the meditation cushion beside him was already empty. The figure had already left.
At that moment, a voice transmission entered her mind.
“Remember, the Little Daoist Master of Ren School is an expert of Ren School. He has nothing to do with the Immortal Du Sect.” Youqin Xuanya took a deep breath and nodded. Her ponytail swayed gently. She stood up and bowed to the sunrise in the east. When she stood up again, she no longer looked as lost as before. She was more confident than before. There was a hint of thought in her eyes. She stood quietly by the cliff, her back view so otherworldly. The surrounding barrier dissipated. The elders walked forward and heard Youqin Xuanya’s voice.
“Thank you for your guidance, Senior.”
Immediately, the elders of the Immortal Du Sect smiled knowingly.
Youqin Xuanya looked at the basket of eggs, picked it up, and turned to face the elders.
“Xuanya, let’s meet up with your master.” “Previously, I was reckless and almost put the elders in danger. Elders, please punish me!” “Uh…”
The elders looked at each other and exchanged glances.
“What’s wrong with this child?”
“Possessed? Listen, does that sound like something Xuanya would say?” “What should I do? Should I control it and send it back to the sect to let the Sect Leader examine its essence soul?” “Let’s observe first and reply quickly!” Youqin Xuanya tilted her head slightly. The elders said that they were fine, and they were flustered. Somewhere underground, Li Changshou’s paper effigy smiled. He continued to observe in secret to see how effective the treatment was.
When the sun rose in the east, the Water God Residence was already bustling with activity. The paper effigy that Li Changshou had stationed in the Heavenly Courts changed into a pure white Daoist robe and combed his white hair and beard in the mirror.
Should I go to the Great Daoist Master and tell him about Senior Kong Xuan?
I should forget about that. I’ve only been separated from the Great Daoist Master for a while. I’ll be seeing him too frequently if I go and see him again. Moreover, how should I ask about it?
Hehehe, Great Daoist Master, I met a girl named Xuan Xuan previously.
I would probably be beaten up by the Great Daoist Master.
Li Changshou did not take Kong Xuan’s words to heart. After all, he did not have much interaction with that big shot. Although he still did not understand why Kong Xuan would participate in the Great God-Conferment Tribulation, Kong Xuan did not have much interaction with the Dao Sect. When he appeared, he was only a “general”. After putting all these trivial matters aside, Li Changshou flicked his horsetail whisk and rode a cloud out of the Water God Residence, flying towards the Lingxiao Treasure Hall. Just as he took two steps, he suddenly heard a clear shout.
“Lord Water God ~”.
Li Changshou turned around and saw Princess Long Ji, who was dressed in a light pink short skirt, riding a cloud. She had her hands behind her back, and there were two colorful ribbons wrapped around her wrists. Accompanied by the young and beautiful lotus flowers that revealed their tips, she leaped up gracefully and jumped onto the cloud of an old immortal.
It’s dangerous to ride a cloud and deduct merit! “Water God, are you going out? We agreed that you would bring me along if it’s not going to be dangerous!” It could be seen that after the Immortal Peach Banquet, Long Ji had become much more cheerful and lively. Li Changshou smiled and said, “Your Highness, don’t tell me you’ve been lying in ambush nearby?” “Well, hehe, it hasn’t been continuous…” “Perhaps something will happen, or perhaps nothing will happen.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Wait at the Water God Residence. I’ll go and meet His Majesty. If I’m going out and there’s no danger, I’ll call you.” Long Ji immediately agreed happily. She cupped her fists and bowed to Li Changshou before riding a cloud towards the Water God Residence.
Li Changshou went straight to the Lingxiao Hall and greeted the Jade Emperor. After a simple discussion, the Heavenly Emperor’s Virtue Monument would be pulled out of the Middle Heavenly Gate by the Heavenly Generals later and placed under the Middle Heavenly Gate.
Regarding the infertility of the Magi of the North Continent… “The Heavenly Dao did not punish me like that.” Li Changshou immediately understood the problem. It was either because of the poisonous miasma in the North Continent or because the enemy of the Magi was secretly causing trouble. However, to be safe, he had to make a trip to the Netherworld as the Water God to obtain first-hand information regarding the reincarnation of the Magi. The Jade Emperor smiled and asked, “Changgeng, do you need any help on your trip to the Netherworld this time?”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Can your hint be any more obvious? Are the Heavenly Emperor and his daughter bored? The Queen Mother… Ahem, don’t speak nonsense and don’t think too much. “Yes!”
Li Changshou nodded decisively. “I especially lack the help of someone like General Zhao Dezhu, who is good at scheming and can fight and escape!” The Jade Emperor smiled and squinted. He immediately issued a decree and summoned the second technique… The technical incarnation of Zhao Dezhu. Once he spoke, he ordered Zhao Dezhu to protect the Water God.
After the Jade Emperor finished speaking, Li Changshou smiled and said, “Your Majesty, before I came, I promised Her Highness Long Ji that if it was not dangerous, I would let her follow me. Your Majesty, should I break my promise to His Highness Long Ji?” The Jade Emperor frowned and glared at Li Changshou. Li Changshou smiled calmly. “I shall do so then…” “Bring her along!” The Jade Emperor glared at Li Changshou. “Minister, watch her closely. Don’t let her do anything inappropriate!” “Yes, Your Majesty.”
