The fairy father

Li Ping'an's Yuanshen completed his transformation and was talking to the fairy light.

Old man Tianli and Granny Linghua couldn't sit still.

Mother-in-law Linghua noticed that something was wrong with Li Ping'an at the moment because she cared about her disciples.

As for old man Tianli, his eyes were full of surprise and uncertainty.

That Taoist rhyme, that Taoist rhyme that is a mixture of order, universe and other magnificent Taoist principles, but cannot find its root...

Too similar, no, this is it!

"The way of heaven!"

Old man Tianli shouted to Granny Linghua.

The old man's eyes flashed, and he quickly made a spell with his big hand. His Taoist charm seemed to have condensed into a tiger, and he shouted silently at Li Ping'an.

A shadow of a blue cloud appeared behind Li Ping'an, which was the avenue of clouds he had been practicing.

But above the blue clouds, there is a golden cloud that comes from nowhere. This golden cloud shines with rays of light, seeming to penetrate and break up the blue clouds.

Granny Linghua suddenly stood up and shouted:

"You dare!"

But Granny Linghua was unable to take action at all, and she had absolutely no place to take action.

When she diagnosed Li Pingan before, she had noticed that there was a trace of heavenly power interfering with Li Pingan's practice, preventing Li Pingan from reaching the threshold of becoming an immortal with "Wanyun Jue".

Under the investigation of Old Man Tianli's secret method, the power of heaven has appeared, and the situation is a hundred times worse than she thought before.

The way of heaven is actually encroaching on the great way that Li Ping'an has cultivated himself, trying to replace it!

"Uncle Master, what will happen to Ping An?"

Old Man Tianli exhaled slowly and whispered: "Tao slave."

"Ah? This!"

"The so-called Dao slave is just a general term."

Old man Tianli sighed:

"In the beginning, it was called a slave of the Dao, which means that the ascetic is assimilated to the Dao, and his behavior and thinking gradually become only the Dao.

"This is not because the Dao has spirituality, but because the creatures themselves have lost themselves and gradually become part of the Dao. Many innate creatures are Dao slaves, and their destination is to complete the Dao that gave birth to them.

"The innate beings who can overcome the influence of the Great Dao and come out are all powerful in the world.

"That's what I told you before, losing yourself in the avenue."

Granny Linghua nodded slowly: "Then here..."

"This is the way of heaven, the way of heaven that was born in the ancient heaven," Old Man Tianli sneered, "Our human race has risen against the sky. I know this weird thing too well. It is obvious that this way of heaven has set its sights on peace and wants peace. Become its Tao slave.”

Mother-in-law Linghua asked hurriedly: "Is there any way to deal with it?"

"We can't cope with it. We can only see if Ping An can hold on."

Old Man Tianli shook his head and whispered:

"His Majesty Fuxi once said that it is inevitable for the way of heaven to return to the order of heaven and earth.

"The way of heaven actually has no spirituality, it is just the response of the three thousand avenues and this world to the call of living beings.

"His Majesty Fuxi deduced the Innate Bagua. He actually wanted to replace the hundreds of tribes with the human race to control the way of heaven. Unexpectedly, before his death, Emperor Jun directly cut off the connection between the ancient heaven and the way of heaven. As a result, our plan of the human race finally came to nothing, and the way of heaven was also hidden. And not show up...

"Looking at the situation now, alas, Heaven may have chosen Li Ping'an and want Li Ping'an to become its Tao slave.

"Let's take a look at this matter. There are disadvantages and advantages."

Mother-in-law Linghua sighed: "How can you see both ways? It's so comfortable to practice the path of immortality, why bother to be a slave to the path of heaven."

"If you are too shallow in the way of peace, you will not be able to resist the temptation of the way of heaven."

Old Man Tianli smiled and said:

"Heaven's choice of peace is also a good thing for us humans. It has one more path to dialogue with Heaven.

“It’s just about being aggrieved and safe.

"The situation of human beings being selected by Heaven and becoming its slaves also happened in ancient times, but the number was very small, and they were all living beings who served in the ancient Heaven.

"As a Dao slave of the Heavenly Dao, your early practice will be overwhelming, but if you want to take another step forward after becoming a Heavenly Immortal, you will encounter ten times more obstacles... Without him, the selfless Dao of Heaven will not allow living beings to live forever.

"However, this is no longer the ancient times, and we will also be tolerant towards the slaves of Heaven and Dao.

"His Majesty Fu Xi has said that when the Heavenly Dao returns again, there will be two more tribulations between heaven and earth, one is the tribulation of becoming an immortal, and the other is the tribulation of the golden immortal.

"For this world, if the power of living beings is too strong now, Heaven will suppress the living beings; if the power of living beings is too weak, Heaven will raise a hand to the living beings.

"His Majesty Fuxi also said that this is the meaning of the existence of heaven, to protect the heaven and earth and restrict living beings."

As he spoke, the golden cloud behind Li Ping'an began to completely invade the blue clouds below.

Granny Linghua sighed: "It would be good to become a heavenly immortal... It's a pity that such an opportunity will come after I grow up safely and become a golden immortal. It would be great."

"If he really cultivates the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, Heaven probably won't choose him."

Old Man Tianli was from the older generation of human beings. He just shook his head and then recited a poem titled "Tiannu":

“If you don’t work hard in a leisurely way, the fruits of immortality will be empty.

"The glory of the people is only temporary, and the dilemma between loyalty and righteousness increases.

"However, if Ping An meets Fu Xi one day, Fu Xi will definitely not give Ping An a chance... huh? Something's wrong."

Old Man Tianli didn't know that his eyes widened for the first time today.

But his shock at this moment was genuine and unpretentious, and his pupils even shrank slightly.

Nothing else.

Just because of the two clouds rising and falling behind Li Pingan, the situation suddenly reversed.

At this time, it was Li Ping'an who turned his back to the fairy light!

Behind Li Ping'an's body, the gap where the blue cloud appeared closed in an instant, and the blue cloud slowly poured out several rays of green light, shooting directly at the golden cloud.

Counterattack the way of heaven!

There was a slight smile on Li Ping'an's lips, as if he was having a heart-to-heart talk with an old friend.

The blue clouds behind him were like ocean waves, swelling rapidly, as if they were about to spread a cloud of mist between the sky and the earth.

The golden cloud retreated upwards, and the golden light it illuminated could no longer break through the blue clouds by half an inch!

Li Pingan's soul seemed to show traces from the blue clouds, and then stepped forward and returned to Li Pingan's body. He opened his eyes, and the blue clouds were rising in the wind behind him, and the golden cloud was invisible.

This is the scene when Li Pingan wakes up.

The eyes of the two golden immortals were filled with brilliance.

"Peace," Granny Linghua said happily, "You just..."

Old Man Tianli pressed Granny Linghua's arm in time, squinted at Li Ping'an, and suddenly shouted:

"good!"

Li Ping'an was so frightened that his whole body twitched.

what's the situation?

"Wahahahahaha!"

Old Man Tianli walked up to Li Pingan and patted Li Pingan on the shoulder, almost knocking Li Pingan to pieces.

"This is what you should do to the children of the human race! From now on, if you are in ASEAN, I will cover you!"

The Wanxiang Tiangong Figure Spirit beside him, who had been silent all this time, smiled and cupped his hands.

Old Man Tianli said helplessly: "Yes, yes, I know that Senior Yun Zhongzi is very strong, but Senior Yun Zhongzi usually doesn't care about Dongzhou. Ping An is practicing in Dongzhou. Don't ask about our human race's affairs." !”

Li Pingan took back the Tiangong map with a smile. Although he had doubts in his heart, he already understood it.

His conversation with Tiandao could not be hidden from the two golden immortal bosses in front of him.

He chose to stick to his own path and did not give in to the way of heaven, so he made the right bet.

In fact, Li Ping'an was really not sure before that whether that ball of fairy light was the manifestation of heaven.

But all matters related to the heart of the Tao should be dealt with according to the inner demons. The sentence "Tomorrow will be responsible for the punishment of heaven" is really too abstract.

There is no free fairy feast in the world.

Li Ping'an suffered several losses from being 'too innocent' when he was young, but now he no longer believes that other than his old father, anyone would give to him unconditionally without expecting anything in return.

Cultivation of immortality and Taoism is about cultivating the laws of nature, not cultivating the way of heaven.

Li Ping'an didn't ask more about cultivation, but he pondered a few times and brought the topic back to the topic.

"Senior, my disciple accidentally broke through just now and was delayed for some time... Let's return to this matter of human sacrifice. Senior, what is your attitude?"

"Beyond Nanzhou is the territory shared by my human race's Qi Refiners and mortals."

Old Man Tianli sat back on the main seat and said:

"Ping An, half of what you said before was still speculation. Let's get some testimonies first.

"Go! Take my knife!"

Old Man Tianli pulled out a long blood-red knife from his sleeve, and the rich blood energy almost annihilated Li Ping'an's heart.

Li Ping'an felt the spiritual pressure of the sword and held the long sword with too much evil force in both hands.

Old man Tianli said: "This sword can kill immortals. I'll give you half an hour to find out all the people in Yongchu City who are involved in human and animal affairs. You will be rewarded when you come back."

"yes!"

Li Ping'an accepted the order, held the long knife in both hands, turned around and went outside the house.

After a while.

The real immortal named Ge was thrown into the house and sat paralyzed in front of the two golden immortals, telling them how they sold human beings.

Just as Li Pingan had speculated before——

They first teamed up with the demon clan, selected a village every few years, and created conditions for the demon clan to loot the village and capture 10 to 20 percent of its population as human sacrifices.

After another moment.

The city lord of Yongchu City, the old man who was in the seventh-level Immortal Realm, was escorted into the house by two immortals, Wenrou and Qingsu; the other three immortals also woke up and stood outside the door without daring to make a sound.

The old immortal sighed and kowtowed in front of Old Man Tianli with a cry in his mouth.

This person only said that he also received the secret order from the peak and selected three or five immortals here to do this human sacrifice.

Old Man Tianli asked: "How long has it been done, and how many mortals have been taken away in total?"

The old immortal fell to the ground and remained silent.

Old Man Tianli sighed, and with a casual move, the long knife Li Pingan held in both hands returned to his hand.

Old Man Tianli murmured in a low voice:

"This sword is called Zhantian Sword Wu. Do you know why it is called this name?

"Because what was forged in the same batch at that time were twelve top-quality immortal treasures! The other eleven were all broken and cracked! I had eleven brothers who were alive and dead, and I was the only one who survived!

"Did you know!

"In order to prevent the monsters from bullying us mortals, how many fellow Taoists have died and how many lives have been buried!

"What now?

"How long has it been! How long has it taken the human race to have this world? Do you really think that the masters of hundreds of races are dead? The world of the human race is already stable?

"say!"

Old Man Tianli shouted loudly, and suddenly stood up and kicked forward. The old immortal hit the golden light barrier hard and fell down again.

"If you don't tell me, I won't know who the golden fairy is behind you, right?

"You also survived sixty thousand years ago! The golden immortal behind you was also brought out by me back then!

"How many mortals have you harmed with this kind of thing! Thirty thousand, is there thirty thousand?"

The old immortal closed his eyes and said nothing, blood dripped from the corners of his mouth, and tears kept falling.

"I did this alone...this..."

Old man Tianli said in a shocked voice: "Fifty thousand! Do you have fifty thousand!"

Ge Zhenxian said in a trembling voice: "Please have mercy! I have a count, I have a count, there are 126,425 people!"

"Fuck you!"

Old Man Tianli waved the long knife in his hand fiercely.

The frightened expression of the real immortal named Ge stayed on his face, and his face was raised high with his head.

Li Ping'an subconsciously took half a step back to prevent blood from splattering on himself.

Old Man Tianli took a sharp breath, raised his knife and looked at the old immortal, and said in a trembling voice: "You, do you still beg for mercy?"

"General!"

The old Tianxian endured the severe pain in the depression in his chest and knelt down towards the old man Tianli again.

"I don't ask for mercy! I just ask the general to stop this matter from me! Nuwa Palace has orders, how can the leader of my family..."

"You're confused! You! You're confused!"

Old Man Tianli raised his head and sighed, but he swallowed the last two words backward.

The long knife suddenly flashed.

"Uncle Master!"

Mother-in-law Linghua spoke out to stop her, but it was already a moment too late.

The old Tianxian had a blood line from his forehead to his neck. He slowly fell forward and a small shadow of his soul flew out of his forehead. He was caught in the sleeve of Old Man Tianli for interrogation later.

Old Man Tianli waved his hand casually, and the bodies of the Yuanxian Taoist couple in the courtyard exploded into two balls of blood, and they died.

After doing this, Old Man Tianli's burly body stooped a bit.

Holding the knife, he slowly walked back to his seat, inserted the long knife on the ground, and looked at the door in a daze.

Tianxian Wenrou sighed softly, walked behind her father, held her father's shoulders, and whispered: "Father, don't be angry."

"I'm fine. Wenrou, please order me to have the Immortal Immortal Hall send a few experts over immediately to investigate this matter secretly."

Old Man Tianli narrowed his eyes slightly, smiled a little, and turned to look at Li Ping'an.

Li Pingandao's heart trembled slightly, and he felt his neck was cold.

This old man killed the immortal without blinking an eye. This immortal was still a veteran from ancient times...

"Peace."

Li Ping'an straightened his posture, cupped his hands and said, "Your orders!"

"I have searched this person's soul. There are about a dozen cities in this sixteen thousand-mile border that are engaged in the business of reselling mortals."

Old Man Tianli sighed:

"Although there are people from the Nuwa Palace behind this, don't worry, there are only a few attendants of the Nuwa Palace who do this kind of thing, and most of them are against human sacrifice and human sacrifice.

“There is something wrong here in ASEAN, and I have to fix it next.

“But this cancer on the border cannot be left unattended.

"The matter of human sacrifice can only be controlled between the few of you. Next... Linghua, stop practicing now and follow your good disciple and this little immortal."

Xiaotianxian refers to Qingsu.

Old Man Tianli said: "The three of you, together with Wenrou and Wenrou's disciple Sang, were checking for human sacrifices at this border. When one was found, Wenrou notified the Immortal Exterminator Hall to deal with it secretly... Is there any problem?"

Mother-in-law Linghua bowed down to accept the order, and everyone bowed their hands in salute.

Li Ping'an said: "There are two questions."

The corners of Old Man Tianli's mouth twitched slightly.

Good guy, with all his killing power, can't he restrain this little guy?

Li Ping'an said seriously: "The first question is, Shichu Wuming."

Old Man Tianli thought for a while and took out a golden square talisman from his sleeve. It had the word ASEAN on the front and the word Tianli on the back.

He took out another piece of cloth, wrote a letter of appointment, and threw the piece of cloth and the token to Li Ping'an.

Elder Tianli said: "From now on, you are the ASEAN secret envoy, temporarily holding the rank of seventh-level temperance. You can report everything directly to me. Is that enough?"

"enough."

Li Ping'an nodded and added: "The second problem is that the border is too peaceful and there are too many demon clans related to humans and animals. I'm afraid we won't be able to check them out."

"This is easier. In one year, there will be a large-scale army on the border. I will send one hundred thousand immortal soldiers over to push my human land north and west five hundred miles."

Old Man Tianli said:

"The troops are raised this time just to cooperate with your investigation into the matter of human sacrifice. Anyone involved in human sacrifice, regardless of whether it is a demon or a human, will be killed!

"Li Ping'an, you must always remember this.

“We, the human race, are what we are today, not by compromising with the demon race, not by flattering everyone, and not by flattery!

"How can this prosperous age when our ancestors shed blood be ruined by these insignificant things?

"I will take care of the matters above the Golden Immortal, and you can check for me the matters below the Golden Immortal!

"The problems in Nanzhou are huge now, and they are related to the internal disputes in Nuwa Palace, so don't ask any more questions.

"But human sacrifice and human sacrifice must not occur outside Nanzhou!"

Everyone bowed their heads and accepted the order with a roar.

"yes!"

Li Ping'an and his master looked at each other, Qing Su blinked, as if asking Li Ping'an what happened.

Li Ping'an smiled without saying a word and sighed in his heart.

In fact, in his opinion, the appointment of this ASEAN secret envoy should be given to his master. His cultivation time is short and his strength is too weak, so he is far from qualified...

But he will be moving with his master day and night, so there is no need to worry.

…

A year later, in the southeast of Xizhou, ASEAN mobilized a large number of troops, and one hundred thousand immortal soldiers came out to attack the demon clan.

Two years later, the demon clan was defeated and retreated hundreds of miles, and the border of the human race was once again pressed north.

There were some personnel changes within ASEAN. The six Golden Immortals who guarded the southeastern region of Xizhou were transferred back to Dongzhou to work on paperwork. The eight newly transferred Golden Immortals from the southeastern region of Xizhou were responsible for consolidating the human territory in the southeastern region of Xizhou.

This conflict was relatively short-lived, and the results achieved were not very significant. It only pushed the human race's territory a few hundred miles, which was not a major event.

However, a large number of sects and cultivators in Dongzhou responded to the call of ASEAN and rushed to the southeast of Xizhou to contribute to the human race.

Across the borders of Dongzhou, demon tribes became active again, harassing Dongzhou.

This is just some big demons venting their anger. The big demons are putting pressure on the human race to alleviate the huge pressure in the southeastern part of Xizhou.

Just as more and more Qigong practitioners from Dongzhou are looking at the southeastern area of ​​​​Xizhou, they want to come here to make achievements and become famous in the world.

Masters and apprentices Qingsu and Li Ping'an retired after their success, said goodbye to Masters Wenrou and Zisang, and embarked on the road back to Wanyun Sect.

Another half month later.

Li Ping'an hid in his master's thin cloud sleeves, saw the mountain gate of Wanyun Sect from a distance, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

He went out to practice for three years, stepped into the realm of the Heaven and Earth Bridge, solved the problem of human sacrifice in the southeast of Xizhou, made some small achievements, and earned hundreds of millions of treasures.

The harvest is quite big.

The point is, Li Ping'an thought about it carefully and realized that he didn't pay any price.

Pure profit!

However, in Zhuyuntang at this moment...
