Chapter 256 This is not a coincidence [Third update please vote](1/2)
Xuan Ming fell, the ninth day after Hou Tu exorcised the demon.
In Dong'an City, in a store called "Lingquan Bath and Enlightenment Pool" that had just been renovated but not yet opened, Li Ping'an walked out of the dressing room wearing a pair of big pants, climbed up the stairs like a mortal, and went to the water bath on the top floor.
Inside.
Wow, wow.
Li Ping'an sat in the soup, feeling the refreshing feeling brought by this pool of spiritual spring, and gently exhaled the turbid air, feeling a little more relaxed.
It feels really good to take a break from the busy schedule.
Although I am also a little curious about the scenery of the 'Kundao Enlightenment Pond' next door that is isolated by the formation;
But His majesty, the Heavenly Emperor, cannot casually use the power of Heaven to spy.
"Why don't you go and take a steam in the elixir sauna?"
Li Dazhi floated over with his hands behind his back, calmly got into the water, untied the bath towel around his waist, and said with a smile:
"I just put three ten-thousand-year spiritual roots in it. Steam them now for the best effect."
"No, Dad," Li Ping'an took a towel and covered his eyes, lying against the edge of the spiritual pool, "Why do you want to make this place a stepped place? There are more than a dozen pools with such a high drop from top to bottom.
.”
"I don't understand."
Li Dazhi narrowed his eyes and smiled:
"In the bottom pool, if you hold three spiritual stones for an hour, you will be rich and prosperous for many years. The higher the pools are, the more expensive they are. The quality of the spiritual stones underneath them is better, and the medicinal materials used to brew them are more valuable.
"Just the pool we soak in, three hundred spirit stones for an hour."
"What the hell?"
Li Ping'an almost blurted out: "Isn't this robbing the spirit stone?"
"What do you mean by grabbing spiritual stones?" Li Dazhi clicked his tongue softly, "The pools below are quite cheap, only the pools on the three floors above are more expensive. This is called the Enlightenment Pool. It can help people break through bottlenecks."
"You are becoming more and more capable of being a black-hearted capitalist."
"Isn't this to earn spiritual stones for you in heaven?"
Li Dazhi lay comfortably in the pool and said leisurely: "I see you have been depressed these past few days when no one is around. What's on your mind? Who do you want to confess to but don't know how to say it?"
"It's nothing, I'm just thinking about something...Dad, please use dialect."
Li Ping'an leaned against the pool, picked up two red fruits, put them in his mouth and chewed them slowly.
"I was wondering why Xuan Ming had to die because of the Witch Clan's affairs."
"Stop thinking nonsense, wasn't Xuan Ming forced to death by the great leader of the West?" Li Dazhi said leisurely.
"But," Li Ping'an frowned, "the leader is in the dark."
Li Dazhi blinked and laughed dumbly: "You are just wondering why the leader didn't do his best to save Xuan Ming?"
"It's not...well, if Xuan Ming can also surrender to Heaven, it will be a rare help to Heaven."
Li Pingan found a reason for himself.
Li Dazhi casually hit a splash of water and hit Li Ping'an's face, laughing and scolding: "Look at your stupid look, how can you be the emperor of heaven?"
"I'm starting to get on the right track now."
Li Ping'an curled his lips unconvinced: "Then let's ask the father of the Emperor of Heaven to clear up the confusion and give a lesson."
"There's nothing to puzzle over."
Li Dazhi floated around leisurely:
"You must always remember three principles.
"First, the master who is on your side temporarily may not always be on your side.
"Second, the people gathered around you may not necessarily resonate emotionally with you, and sometimes your goals may deviate, which requires you to take overall control.
"Third, you are not the chess player yet. You just have your own consciousness and can intervene in the chess game to a certain extent, or you can be said to be a large chess piece that has evolved from a pawn to a commander.
"Then if you think about it again, you will be able to figure it out."
Li Ping'an pondered slightly: "Dad, I understand the truth, but I'm a little angry."
Li Dazhi said: "Didn't you say before that the leader of the Second Purities has always been in the dark? What is the purpose of this leader of the Second Purities?"
"Protect the disciples of Chanjiao, help me, a disciple of Chanjiao, serve as the quasi-Celestial Emperor, so that Chanjiao can obtain the first batch of heavenly merits... these?"
Li Pingan clicked his tongue:
"I mean, why couldn't we just destroy the divine pillar when it appeared, but let it absorb so many masters smoothly?
"Since Master has already taken action, why not simply destroy the divine tower?"
"Peace, you still don't see clearly."
Li Dazhi shook his head:
"In the second half of this conflict in Beizhou, the Chan Sect and the Western Sect are already competing for interests.
"You have actually accomplished a lot. Because of your overall planning and subsequent actions of jumping in to suppress the demonic energy, in the first half of this conflict, the results of the New Heavenly Court's subjugation of Houtu and most of the Wu clan were determined.
"Half of the Wu Clan's cake is already yours, but you still want to snatch it from the tiger's mouth. The Western religion has been eyeing this piece of fat for seventy or eighty thousand years, trying to subdue the last of the Wu Clan's arrogance.
"At this time, the Great Western Hierarch couldn't help but take action, otherwise they would lose everything. As soon as he took action, he directly captured Xuan Ming and the six to seven hundred war witches, thus taking away the other half of the cake.
"If this is the result, Chanjiao has helped you achieve your goal, and Western religion is not at a loss either."
Li Ping'an pondered for a few times: "Now that you say this, I understand...the fundamental reason is that the Chan religion has not broken with Western religion."
"We are not enemies to begin with, so why should we break up? What benefits would a breakup bring to us?"
Li Dazhi smiled and said:
"It's you and the human race who hate Western religion, it's not the Chan religion that hates Western religion.
"For Chanjiao, there is also a Dao Immortal Tribulation. The Dao Immortal Tribulation was jointly deduced by the three sect leaders, which foreshadows the disaster that Heaven will bring to the Taoist sect.
“Haven’t we dealt with this matter many times?
"The Taoist disciples control too many avenues, which directly affects the development of the Heavenly Dao itself. One must weaken between the Heavenly Dao and the Daoist sect, and the Heavenly Dao is now unstoppable, unless the three leaders of the Daoist sect destroy the world and destroy all spirits.
Thereby suppressing the Dao of Heaven, otherwise the Taoist Immortals will perish in large numbers under the impetus of the Dao of Heaven.
"This is the essential contradiction.
"The choice of the three leaders of the Taoist sect is obviously not to destroy all souls, but because of this, we can't hack them.
"As for this Beizhou conflict, it has also been revealed that the Chanjiao and the Western Church must have reached some kind of agreement. Eighty percent of the agreement is against the Jiejiao. The behemoth Jiejiao has a strong sense of oppression against the Chanjiao."
Li Dazhi pondered for a few times and then said:
"But this incident should make both parties very unhappy."
"Why?"
"The Western Sect has killed and injured many evil demons... Although these evil demons are not even chess pieces to the two leaders of the Western Sect, the Western Sect really gained nothing in the end."
Li Dazhi sighed:
"You sympathize with the miserable current situation of the Wu Clan, but these leaders and the great masters of each religion do not sympathize with the Wu Clan.
"They have come from ancient times and witnessed too many tragic things. Those good people have long been lost in the long river of time...except for a certain dragon clan.
"Think about it, at that time you yelled, 'Stop the Divine Banner and save Xuan Ming,' and then the three Taoist sect leaders showed up and beat the two sect leaders away? Is this possible?
"In fact, 80% of the time, in the heart of the Erqing leader, the weight of the new heaven is not comparable to the weight of the Western religion."
Li Ping'an sighed: "After all, the interests are inconsistent."
"Unless you stake all the heavens on Chanjiao and let Chanjiao get the right to appoint the right god in the future, then it is possible for Chanjiao to become the Emperor of Heaven in anger."
Li Dazhi took two lemon-like spiritual fruit slices, put them on his eyes, and said leisurely:
"Don't think too much, Xuan Ming's death was actually the result of the struggle between the Chan Sect, the Western Sect, and the Human Race.
“If the Chan religion and the Western religion were inherently hostile, it would be impossible to successfully launch the Divine Banner;
"Although the human race sent a large number of immortal soldiers for your sake, these immortal soldiers are all in Beihai and will only come here after the fight is over...
"Why did you leave before Xuanyuan Huangdi? Is it really because you avoided the matter of Xuangui's resentment? He had already seen what would happen next.
"Xuanyuan Huangdi gave the order with the overall situation in mind and a benevolent heart. Shen Xiangfeng Empress, based on the hatred between the human race and the Wu clan, deliberately added some water when executing the order to prevent the human soldiers from bleeding for the Wu clan.
"This is the tacit understanding between their king and his ministers.
"Now you look at the results. The human race has gained the reputation of not caring about past grudges, Chan has gained the merits of heaven, and the debt of gratitude for helping the shaman tribe. The heaven has gained the shaman tribe's submission. Everyone is happy."
Li Pingan smiled and shook his head.
Although he wanted to say something, no one had considered the feelings of the living beings themselves;
But saying it this way is always a bit childish.
"Is your anger smooth?" Li Dazhi made a seductive pose.
