In the north of Dongzhou, there is a quiet small courtyard.

Li Ping'an was lying under the tree, looking at the sky, slightly lost in thought. The fairy in white who was leaning next to her closed her eyes quietly, as if she was sleeping soundly.

"What's bothering you recently?" Qing Su asked softly.

"Huh? Nothing."

Li Ping'an smiled casually, feeling the softness of her glistening skin with his fingertips, but his heart felt peaceful.

He said: "If you get bored, just go and live in the heaven. It's okay to be outside all the time."

"This place is quiet and quiet, and it is indeed suitable for retreat."

Qingsu gently rubbed her forehead:

"It's true that you rarely show up recently, Yaochi and Ningning should not be left out in the cold.

"You can't. You only have the road in your heart now, so you won't get close to them."

Li Pingan quickly said yes.

He asked: "Master, do you think that if I insist on taking the path that I think is right, but the result is not as good as the path arranged by Old Man Wanri, then can I be considered a success or a failure?"

"My own success."

Qingsu said quite easily:

"Your temper is that you worry too much. In fact, you don't need to think too much about it. What monks cultivate is to have a clear conscience.

“Those who have great ambitions set their destiny for the lives of living beings, and those who seek peace of mind will be safe themselves.

"Isn't that what it is?"

"Uh... Master, what you said actually makes some sense."

Li Ping'an couldn't help but start a conversation, but it had nothing to do with romance.

When he is around Qing Su, he can always feel a rare sense of peace of mind.

He asked: "Master, do you think it's better for me to comply with Old Man Wanri's arrangements, or to explore on my own?"

"Of course you have to go your own way."

Qingsu closed her eyes and whispered:

"I believe in you. You will not interfere with the operation of heaven and earth in the future, and will let heaven and earth evolve on their own. This is actually enough.

"After all, who has the power to decide the fate of others?

"Do what you think is right, pursue the peace of the Taoist heart, and then step into the emptiness of the Taoist heart... You should also blame me for this. I just taught you how to fight before."

Li Pingan smiled and said nothing.

The theory is easy to say, but it is extremely difficult to actually implement it.

Easier said than done, nothing better than this.

"Are you feeling sleepy during your recent practice?" Li Ping'an asked softly.

Qing Su said: "Fortunately... don't give me any insights. I can just practice Taoism myself. I won't have to fight with anyone in the future. However, I have a few things to ask."

"Oh? It's rare for you to ask me a question. Master, please tell me."

"After creating a new world, do we still need people to patrol everywhere? What will we do? Will we enter a barbaric era like the ancient times?"

When Qing Su looked up, her wonderful eyes were full of bright lights.

Li Ping'an pondered for a few times: "I can't say for sure, but do you still want to do inspections yourself? In fact, there is a huge problem here, and I haven't told anyone."

"what is the problem?"

"How do these current masters enter the new world?"

Li Pingan said:

"This is an inevitable problem.

"It is roughly divided into two categories. One is to let them lose their power and only have eternal life. The second category is to let them follow the changes of the Dao and try to maintain their status in the Dao, that is, to allow them to have both immortality and immortality.

strength."

Qing Su couldn't help but sit up. Her clothes were as white as snow, her silk stockings were like a waterfall, and her white swan neck connected to her almost perfect jawline.

She thought carefully: "Will this affect your decision-making?"

"Inevitable," Li Ping'an put his hands behind his head, "You are my master and my Taoist companion. In the end, you just turned a deaf ear."

Qing Su pursed her lips and smiled softly, thinking about it for a while.

She said: "I think we can divide it by region."

"Divided into regions?"

"Well, everyone will follow you to open the sky. There will be various hardships during this period, including eliminating the innate gods and demons, slaying the chaotic beasts, and strengthening the origin of the world."

Qingsu said slowly:

"Wouldn't it be unbenevolent if Kai Wantian turned his back and refused to recognize others?

"It's just that, throughout the history of the human race, there are often clans that have made pioneering achievements for three generations and become obstacles to the progress of living beings.

"If there were no restrictions, wouldn't the newly opened world be a lot less bright?

"So, I think it's better to use regional restrictions. Within a region, they can fly around and be high up. Outside this region, they are almost the same as ordinary creatures."

Li Ping'an thought for a while and told Qing Suyan his idea about the place of eternal life.

Qing Su praised: "It's pretty good, just do it this way."

Li Pingan smiled and said: "These are not questions, but I can still answer you one thing, which is what we are going to do."

"do what?"

"Have some kids!"

"Hmm... I don't like this one very much. It will make me more worried. Now I am already very worried."

"It's okay. The main thing is to walk around, look around, and look for my hometown to see if I can find a similar place. I now have reasonable suspicion that the star sea world I want to open up may be where I come from.

That cosmic starry sky.”

"Huh?" Qingsu was quite puzzled by this.

"You will know from now on, come and hug me for a while."

"I obey, Lord Taoist."

Qing Su responded softly, snuggled into Li Pingan's arms, and soon subdued Li Pingan.

Uniforms in every sense of the word.

…

After Li Ping'an walked around Chentangguan, he didn't pay much attention to the East China Sea.

He didn't know how Dragon Palace would react.

Just wait for the news.

If there is a conflict between Taiyi Zhenren and Dragon Palace, this matter will also be conducive to the Conferred God Competition. Li Ping'an would be a bit 'derelict' in not adding fuel to the flames.

Just like that, Li Ping'an, who was in seclusion in the dungeon every day, had another small concern - whether there was a fight in the East China Sea.

After more than half a year, he didn't wait for any news from there, but he did wait for a letter from Ji Chang.

The Xibohou, who is now prosperous in Chaoge City, finally confirmed that his fourth son Ji Dan has no contact with the Shang King Di Xin.

In other words, Ji Chang has begun to grasp some information from within Emperor Xin's court through his own operations and the help of some "associates".

Otherwise, how could Ji Chang be sure that Ji Dan had no contact with them?

In response, Li Ping'an just smiled and shook his head without paying much attention.

His period of practice in the dungeon was therefore coming to an end.

Ji Fa warned: "Father said in the letter that he will wait for a thunderstorm day before letting you appear in the backyard. It is best to sit in an open place and sleep. You must be well-dressed."

"Okay," Li Ping'an said with a smile, "Father, are you trying to create some momentum?"

"Momentum?"

"My four sons are blessed by gods, that's all."

"It should be," Ji Fa chuckled, "Although I don't understand the meaning of doing this, father must have his intention... What did father say in the letter to you?"

"I didn't say anything else."

Li Pingan said:

"My father said that he met a guy named Jiang Shang in Chaoge City and benefited a lot from talking to him.

"It is also said that the king gradually began to indulge himself after this ceremony of worshiping the heaven and the victory of the Eastern Expedition. He also selected a group of beauties captured by the Dongyi tribe. He would also favor him during the day and drink wine every day.

Drink more alcohol than water.
