The Right Path
Chapter 1572 The Right Path in the World
"When a man is about to die, his words are good."
Lang Hui looked at the reduced Gong Tianzun and shook his head, saying, "But even so, it is hard to conceal your actions of aiding and abetting the evil for millions of years. Just a few words of persuading people to be good cannot erase the evil you have done for millions of years."
She returned to the thirty-third heaven of Wuyou Township and said to Yan Yunxi: "Gong Tianzun is dead, please ask Emperor Yankang Yanxiu to capture Qinghu."
Yan Yunxi was shocked and immediately ordered a divine being to rush to Yankang to inform Ling Yuxiu of the news.
More than twenty days later, Xiong Qier arrived at the capital of Yankang and met Ling Yuxiu.
She is the actual person in charge of the Zhentian Palace in the Western Land and a person of the same era as Ling Yuxiu. Although she is ten years younger than Qin Mu, her status and prestige in the Western Land are even higher than Xu Shenghua.
In the past, the Xitu Zhentian Palace was a holy place as famous as the Tiansheng Sect, Taoism and Leiyin Temple. When selecting a hostess for this holy place, one needs to choose someone with a pure heart of Taoism, the younger the better, so that she can gain the recognition of the Four Spiritual Pearls.
As early as when she was eight years old, Xiong Qier had gained the recognition of the Four Spirit Pearls and possessed the power of a true god, much more powerful than Qin Mu at that time.
After more than a hundred years of hard practice, she has reached an extremely high level in her Taoism. That's why Ling Yuxiu chose to ask her to help kill Wei Shijie, the reincarnation of Emperor Tai.
“Although Gong Tianzun is also a person with powerful spiritual consciousness, she is different from the Great Emperor.”
Xiong Qier heard the whole story, and after a moment's silence, she said, "The Great Emperor dared not touch the latest reform results of Yankang, but Gong Tianzun's reincarnation dared. Her reincarnation, Tao Xiuyun, has great magical powers and is an outstanding figure among the younger generation of Yankang, with a great reputation. Your Majesty, although I can kill her, it is difficult to kill her. Her spiritual illusion will interfere with me, and I will take the opportunity to escape."
Ling Yuxiu asked, "Then who do you think will be able to kill Tao Xiuyun with full confidence?"
Xiong Qier said: "Killing Gong Tianzun, having a high combat power does not necessarily mean that she can be killed. The person who kills her must have a more powerful spiritual consciousness, able to see through all her illusions. Therefore, I am afraid that Taoist Lin Xuan, Zhankong Tathagata, and Yujing Wang Xianren will not be able to do it, as she can easily escape. Shendao Luo and Zhe Huali are powerful, but it is also difficult to deal with her spiritual consciousness. Therefore, I recommend a person with a broad spiritual consciousness and infinite magical powers, who can break Gong Tianzun's reincarnation. But this person is not in Yankang."
Ling Yuxiu's heart moved slightly, and she said with a smile: "I know where this person is. You wait for two days."
Two days later, Hu Ling'er rushed to Shangjing. Ling Yuxiu explained what happened and Hu Ling'er smiled and said, "So that's how it is. I'll call him over."
"Thank you Ling'er."
Hu Ling'er set up an altar and performed a ritual herself, establishing a connection between the altar and another world. The sky then split open, revealing an extremely huge hole, with the vast mountains and rivers at the other end.
Only a deep and resonant voice was heard, echoing back and forth in the sky above Shangjing: "Who summoned the godson of the supreme ruler of the beast world..."
"Pi!"
Hu Ling'er called out loudly: "I am your sister!"
The heavy and resonant voice startled me. After a moment, a huge head sank down from the cave entrance. Long Qilin poked his head out with a smile on his face: "It turned out to be the big sister. What's the matter with you, big sister?"
"If it's not something important, then I can't let you come over?"
Hu Ling'er stood on the altar, with her hands on her hips, and said with a smile: "But I called you here this time because I have something important to tell you. Come here quickly!"
"Big sister, please wait a moment."
Long Qilin retracted his head, and heard a conversation coming from the beast world: "Godfather, my sister asked me to go over... Nothing will happen, don't worry, godfather... I will come back! This time I will go to see the leader, as well as my wife and children. I haven't seen them for many years... Don't worry, I won't leave you here alone..."
After a while, a young man with a unicorn head and dragon horns and a human body came down from the beast realm and approached the altar. It was none other than Long Qilin, wearing a black robe inlaid with gold and jade, which was indescribably luxurious.
Hu Ling'er looked him up and down and sneered, "You are rich and powerful in the animal world, and you left your Yan'er to hatch eggs on the Black Mountain, and now she has many children. Aren't you afraid that a male bird might take your wife away?"
Long Qilin smiled and said, "My foster father can't manage the beast world by himself, so I help him manage it. I want to come back, but my foster father won't let me go. Yan'er and I are already together, and the Southern Emperor has approved it! Besides, I manage all the beast tribes in the world, so who dares to steal my power?"
Ling Yuxiu said: "Long Hu regards you as his adopted son, and also as a hostage to guard against the Imperial Master, so naturally he is unwilling to let you return."
Long Qilin only then noticed her and quickly saluted: "Your Majesty."
Ling Yuxiu said, "No need to be polite. The Imperial Master saw that you had grown up, so he let you go out and let you make a career. Over the years, you have practiced with Long Hu, and I think you have made some achievements. Just now, the little princess of Zhentian Palace said that you can deal with Gong Tianzun's reincarnation Tao Xiuyan, so he asked you to come back."
Long Qilin looked at Xiong Qier and recognized her immediately. Xiong Qier ran over and cheered: "Slide! Slide!"
Long Qilin was helpless and said, "You are now the head of the True Heaven Palace, and I am also the young master of the Beast Realm. How can I do such an unseemly thing?"
"Slide!" Xiong Qier insisted firmly.
The Dragon Qilin had no choice but to reveal its true form, transforming into a huge monster, with its tail raised, forming a huge arc.
Xiong Qier clumsily climbed to the tip of his tail and slid down from the top. Long Qilin's body caved in, and the girl slid onto his back. She was carried into the air by inertia, giggling, and then fell down again.
This is not as simple as sliding. Xiong Qier slid for a long time without stopping. Ling Yuxiu was helpless and said, "My dear, business is more important."
Xiong Qier stopped immediately, her face blushing with embarrassment.
Long Qilin turned into a sturdy young man again and said, "When she was a child, the leader didn't like to coax her, so I played like this when I coaxed her. Where is Tao Xiuyun now? After I deal with her, I will go to see my wife and children. In case there is really some blind male bird..."
Xiong Qier took out the Book of Life and Death and Tao Xiuyun's information, handed them to Long Qilin, and said excitedly: "I'll go with you!"
Long Qilin hurriedly looked at Ling Yuxiu, who smiled and said, "Long Pi hasn't been back for many years, and he still has to go to the ancestral temple to see Yan'er and his children. My dear, let's talk about it next time."
Xiong Qier had no choice but to give up.
Long Qilin immediately set off for Binzhou on the coast of the East China Sea.
He is extremely fast, and his speed was originally supposed to be faster than Qin Mu's. He has been practicing hard in the beast world over the years, trying to help Long Xi establish the beast world civilization and accomplishing many groundbreaking undertakings. He has extraordinary abilities.
Qin Mu returned to Yankang less often, but he was summoned by Hu Ling'er and others from time to time to reminisce about the past, and the results of the reform in Yankang were not lost.
Long Qilin was much more mature and steady than before, and also had the dignity of a young master in the beast world. Along the way, he looked through the information about Gong Tianzun's reincarnation, and recorded everything from the skills Tao Xiuyun had learned, to the magical powers she had mastered, to the direction of her research, to her life's achievements.
——Ever since Qin Mu discovered that Xiao Tianzun’s reincarnation had entered Yankang and quietly climbed to the power center of Yankang, a surveillance and trap targeting the reincarnations of the Ten Tianzuns began quietly.
Long Qilin closed the file, looked down, and found that he had arrived in Binzhou.
Binzhou is located in the north of Jiangling and is a sacred city that has flourished in recent years.
A hundred years have passed since the last Yankang catastrophe. During this hundred years, Yankang has undergone earth-shaking changes, with increasing wealth, but problems have also arisen. The divine cities have become larger and larger, accommodating an increasing population, but a city cannot expand forever without borders, so other divine cities have emerged.
Binzhou is one of them, and it is also one of the more well-developed ones. It has alleviated the population pressure in Jiangling, and many young people like to gather here.
Long Qilin came to the city and found the place where Tao Xiuzhen lived, but saw a wedding banquet was being held there. After asking around, he found out that Tao Xiuzhen's family had a new baby and they were holding a hundred-day banquet for the child.
"Gong Tianzun's reincarnation got married? There is no mention of this in the file."
Long Qilin was surprised and continued to inquire. He found out that Tao Xiuyun was married to a magical practitioner in Binzhou, which was not a wealthy family, and she had been married there for two years.
"How could someone like Gong Tianzun get married? Could it be that the man is the reincarnation of a certain Tianzun?"
He sneaked into the wedding banquet and used the Book of Life and Death to look at the male host of the family. He found that the male host had a clean background and was not the reincarnation of the Heavenly Lord.
This man's aptitude and comprehension are not those of an extraordinary genius; they are neither too good nor too bad. It is possible for him to cultivate to the divine realm, but it is unlikely for him to accomplish a world-shaking career.
Long Qilin thought for a while and looked at Tao Xiuyun again. Tao Xiuyun was indeed the reincarnation of Gong Tianzun's soul, and there was nothing fishy about it.
He had a strange look on his face. Why would a great god like him marry an ordinary person?
“Could it be Gong Tianzun’s illusion?”
His spiritual awareness was powerful, and his abilities had increased over the years. When he looked closely, he realized that it was not an illusion.
Tao Xiuyun's cultivation is not as good as his. If it is an illusion, he will definitely see through it.
Tao Xiuzhen also noticed Long Qilin among the guests. It was hard for this strange-looking man not to attract other people's attention.
"Long Pi, can we get through today?" The fluctuations of her spiritual consciousness were transmitted into Long Qilin's mind.
Long Qilin nodded silently.
The hundred-day banquet was very lively. As the mistress of the family, Tao Xiuzhen entertained everyone with great hospitality in front of everyone and held the child in her arms, showing great affection. It seemed that all the cruelty of her previous life had to be compensated by this baby in this life.
Long Qilin stayed at the banquet and observed quietly. When the banquet was over, he walked out of Binzhou and waited quietly outside the city.
The sun rises in the east and leaps out of the sea.
The cool sea breeze blew on the boy's clothes. He stood on the beach, watching the sunrise, and the sunlight made his face red.
Tao Xiuyun walked over from behind him with a complicated expression: "The Creator is also a human being. Even if I am the Supreme God, I can't avoid being disturbed by the world after reincarnation and have mortal desires. Young Master of the Beast Realm, you are here to kill me, right?"
"Gong Tianzun is so heartless and ungrateful. I never thought that you would marry and become a mother."
Long Qilin turned around and said, "If I had known, I would not have taken this job. You don't look like a Heavenly Lord now, but more like a good wife and mother, which makes it difficult for me to do it. So I will give you half a day to deal with the aftermath."
Tao Xiuyun looked at him and whispered, "Without the power struggle in Heaven, my heart is at peace and I understand the love of mortals. Mu Tianzun killed me, but I don't want revenge, and I don't want the power of Heaven anymore. Can the young master of the beast world show some mercy and let me be an ordinary person? I only wish to be with my husband and children and live an ordinary life."
It was hard for her to lower her posture, but now she did so.
Long Qilin looked at her calmly, and after a moment he said, "The leader once taught me that we should not be too mean to good people, nor too kind to bad people. This is not fairness, but justice. Being too kind to bad people is unfair to the good people and mortals who were hurt by them. Being too mean to good people is unfair to the good things they have done. If you can't even do those good things yourself, why magnify the occasional stains on good people?"
Tao Xiuzhen listened quietly.
Long Qilin continued, "I once asked him why he didn't resurrect one of his old friends. He has the ability and strength to do so. He said that resurrecting the Great Venerable would remind him of the countless mortals who died at the hands of the Great Venerable. The good things the Great Venerable did before his death cannot change the bad things he did in his life. Gong Tianzun, in your long life, there have been many people who begged you for mercy, right?"
Tao Xiuzhen nodded silently.
"Did you let them go?" Long Qilin asked.
Tao Xiuyun shook his head silently, and suddenly said: "For the sake of my little family, I will not sit idly by and wait for death!"
Long Qilin greeted her and said, "Have you arranged a wet nurse for the child? If not, I can give you another half day."
Tao Xiuyun returned the greeting and shook her head, saying, "It has been arranged."
Long Qilin smiled and said, "Then please make your move."
Tao Xiuzhen roared, jumped up, and attacked him with all his strength and magical powers!
boom!
The sea breeze from the East China Sea suddenly rose, and huge waves hit the coast, making a loud noise that shook the earth. Long Qilin walked westward, not directly to Binzhou, but took a detour.
He didn't want to enter Binzhou again.
Behind him, Tao Xiuyun's body was swallowed by the waves.
"If the sky had feelings, it would also grow old; the right path in the world is vicissitudes."
He looked back and saw the rapid waves of the East China Sea. He turned his head and saw the Zhongshan Mountain of Jiangling City in front of him, where dragons coiled and tigers crouched.
Wind and rain gradually rose on Zhongshan Mountain, and the sky and earth turned pale and yellow.
