[Honghuang] After dressing as the goddess of laurel, I came to Honghuang again

Hongjun laughed: "Your words make it seem how easy it is to become a saint. Let me ask you, what if you fail to become a saint and lose your position as Emperor of Heaven?"

Shang Zhi glanced at him, and simply stopped pretending, and said badly: "I have been the Emperor of Heaven for so long, and I have worked so hard for so many years. I am really tired. What good is it to be the Emperor of Heaven? If I am that kind Irresponsible, just enjoy every day, regardless of other people's lives, then I can rest well, but for me, if I don't do well in my position, I always feel uncomfortable in my heart, so it's better to give this blessing to others."

"As for sanctification, I have done so much. If I can't be sanctified, it means that no matter how high the position is, it won't help. It's better to put everything aside, and if I really want to fail, I will concentrate on cultivation. But if I succeed, I will think about it later. It’s too late to entrust the work to someone else.”

Shang Zhi actually envied the life of a sage. Although Hong Huang occasionally had to deal with serious problems, he stayed at home most of the time.

God knows how long it has been since he lived a happy life at home without thinking about anything.

Hongjun couldn't see the truth of what he said, but he understood one thing, Shang Zhi really wanted to change the position of Emperor of Heaven.

"Then do you have a favorite candidate?"

Shang Zhi waggled his fingers, then pointed out the door, smiling slyly: "It's far from the horizon, but it's close to us."

Hongjun looked out the door together with him.

Haotian and Yaochi were a little surprised when they received the news that Daozu asked them to go there.Ever since Daozu joined the Tao, Hongjun seldom used them.Let them welcome Shang Zhi today.

After Shang Zhi left, he let them pass by again.

Both of them couldn't figure out what Hongjun was thinking.But Daozu had a life, and they passed quickly.

Seeing the two of them, Hong Jun asked: "Both the Lich Clans are suffering from losses, and they are gradually declining. Now there is nothing left to do, can you understand?"

The two nodded at the same time.

Hongjun asked again: "Then you two know why Shang Zhi came here today?"

Haotian and Yaochi hesitated for a while, they didn't know how to answer to make Hongjun happy, and they were afraid that they might say the wrong thing, so they didn't dare to guess randomly for a while.

Hongjun didn't let them answer, and said directly: "He has a feeling recently that he is about to encounter a breakthrough opportunity. But in this way, the position of Emperor of Heaven will be vacant, and there will be no one to take over."

Yaochi and Haotian were shocked when they heard this.The Heavenly Emperor actually wanted to change hands, or was Shang Zhi really willing to give up his power when the Three Realms had just been unified?

Haotian asked himself, if he were himself, he would definitely not be able to do it.

But Shang Zhi did so.And he came to the master on his own initiative, which showed that this was not a forced choice.

But this shocking news has nothing to do with them, Haotian was surprised for a long time, and then his mind was pulled back by himself.He just has a question.

Why did the master specially ask them to come over this matter.

Could it be that they want them to serve in the Heavenly Court?

However, Hongjun's next words shook their hearts violently.

"Shang Zhi intends to let Haotian take over his position as the Emperor of Heaven, and Yaochi will be the Queen Mother of the West, in charge of the female immortals."

The two raised their heads at the same time, regardless of the etiquette in front of Hongjun, they all looked at him in disbelief, wondering if Hongjun was joking.

No, Hongjun's expression is very serious, which shows that the matter is true.

And Shang Zhi came here today to discuss this matter with Hong Jun, to discuss their takeover of the Heavenly Court.

This kind of good thing hit the two of them all at once, making them a little confused.

Yao Chi even asked directly: "Then why, the Heavenly Emperor wants to choose us?"

Haotian also had the same question, and the two looked at Hongjun, wondering if he was joking.

But Hongjun said: "There is his own reason for this matter, it is inconvenient for you to ask more."

Haotian and Yaochi were a little disappointed, but they were still digesting this strange news in their hearts.

Hongjun looked them up and down for a long while, and then said: "But you, if you really want to be in charge of the Heavenly Court in the future, you can no longer act like a virgin."

After finishing speaking, he waved his whisk, and a golden light fell on the two heads.

Haotian felt that his body was being stretched, and his field of vision became wider.When he opened his eyes again, he found that the Yaochi in front of him had changed.

Originally they were only seven or eight-year-old boys, but now they looked like young men and women.

When the two looked at each other's new appearance, they felt a little strange for a while.

When they grow up, their faces have the solemnity of adults.

Hongjun said: "Let's go, someone will pick you up after a while."

Their eyes turned red, knowing that this was what Hongjun wanted them to leave.They have been following Hongjun since they were enlightened, and now they are reluctant to leave.

The two knelt down at the same time, bowed to Hongjun, and thanked him for his kindness.

It's just that I feel uneasy about going to heaven in my heart.

Today's Heavenly Court seems to have a scale, and it also has its own order.Are they really convincing in the past?

Shang Zhi went all the way back to the Heavenly Court, and then met Bai Ze who came to explain the problem of Youdu to him.

Seeing Bai Ze now, Shang Zhi feels guilty for a moment.If you want to say that you suddenly resigned, the person who feels the most sorry is Bai Ze who has devoted himself to Tianting.

Bai Ze took the list and said, "Heavenly Emperor, this is the list of officials in Youdu that I have drawn up, I need you to confirm it."

Shang Zhi took over the list, but did not continue the topic, but said, "Sit down first, I have something to discuss with you."

Bai Ze was puzzled, but still found a futon to sit down on.

Shang Zhi thought about his words, but still said the matter: "Bai Ze, my chance to break through is coming soon."

Bai Ze froze for a moment, but didn't react for a while.If he heard correctly, what Shang Zhi said meant that he was about to break through.If he breaks through, Shang Zhi should be sanctified, and if he is sanctified, who will do it that day?

"Are you leaving Heaven?"

Shang Zhi nodded: "I have a hunch that this breakthrough needs to go to the lower realm, and the affairs of the heavens cannot be taken care of."

"What should the court do that day?" Bai Ze quickly calmed down, "It is impossible for him to enter a state where the dragons have no leader."

"So I found a successor for myself." Shang Zhi said, "I plan to let him take over my position during my time of crossing the catastrophe. This person should have adapted to the situation in the Heavenly Court, and he can justifiably take over the position of the Emperor of Heaven."

Bai Ze asked: "Do you have to find someone to replace you? You won't have too long to cross the catastrophe, and you can continue to take over the Heavenly Court when you come back. Even if you really succeed in breaking through, can't you control these things after 33 days?"

"How is this possible?" Shang Zhi said with a smile, "The sage not only controls the power of immortality, is not affected by cause and effect, but also coexists with heaven and earth, and also has the power to control the prehistoric world. How many good things fall on one person? Changing the position of Heavenly Emperor, apart from my own reasons, there is another point, that is, I sensed that the second Heavenly Emperor is coming soon."

Bai Ze knew that every word he said made sense, so he finally sighed softly: "After all, your choice is correct, so who is the new emperor who can succeed you?" A lot of strength flashed through Bai Ze's mind. The figure of a powerful monk, but he didn't want Shang Zhi's answer to surprise him.

"It's Haotian."

"Haotian!" Bai Ze was actually not familiar with this name.But he happened to have the ability to know everything, so after thinking for a while, he thought of the boy who was following Hongjun.

Bai Ze couldn't help but feel a sense of loss for this new Emperor of Heaven.

It's not that it's not good, it just doesn't meet Bai Ze's expectations.

So much so that Bai Ze didn't understand why he chose Haotian.He even felt that not only he didn't understand, but all the immortal officials in the heaven might not understand.

"So, I'm afraid it won't be enough to convince the public."

Shang Zhi smiled: "Then Haotian has to solve it by himself. If he can't even do this, how can he be qualified for this position? And if he can come to take over my position, there will naturally be a reason that is barely acceptable, don't worry Bar."

Bai Ze nodded thoughtfully.

Shang Zhi suddenly said, "Bai Ze, will you blame me?"

"What's your fault?" Bai Ze was puzzled.

"Give the Heavenly Court a Heavenly Emperor." Shang Zhi said, "If there is a fair competition, your chances will be even greater."

Bai Ze seemed to have heard some unbelievable remarks, and he paused for a long time before digesting Shang Zhi's meaning, and he couldn't laugh or cry: "Why do you think so, I still won't forget, when we chose to set up the Heavenly Court, it was to give A safe place for all living beings in the world, now half of my goal has been achieved, as for the position of Emperor of Heaven, I am not interested, it is better to say, if you really have to leave, then when the new Emperor of Heaven takes over this position, I do not intend to stay any longer."

Firstly, as Shang Zhi's confidant, his staying in the Heavenly Court will only make Haotian afraid. The new Emperor of Heaven needs someone in his hands, and that cannot be Bai Ze.

Secondly, Bai Ze has been working in the Heavenly Court for so many years, exhausted, and wants to take a rest.

Shang Zhi knew his character, but he still wanted to make sure that Bai Ze had no complaints in his heart. Now that he heard him say this, he said with a smile, "Since that's the case, it's not bad to go fishing and enjoy the scenery together when I leave office."

"That's the deal." After Bai Ze thought about it, he suddenly felt that it was a good day.Some even look forward to the easy days of his retirement after Haotian comes.

However, the two of them are just thinking about it, and they still have to find a job in their positions. It is impossible to stop doing what they have at hand. They can only embrace the dream of swimming in the green mountains and green waters, looking at plum blossoms to quench their thirst, and began to study the affairs of Youdu.

After several days of busy work, Shang Zhi looked at the list of Youdu officials and stretched himself.

Thanks to the memory of the future, at least he can search for the Youdu model that is more popular among the people.

In fact, the underworld that everyone will know in the future is already a trinity of Buddhism, Taoism and folk.But I have to admit that Tianting is very convenient and suitable to use at this time.

Shang Zhi looked at the familiar Fengdu Emperor, Ghost King and Yin Escort on the list, and said with a smile, "Let's do this for now."

Bai Ze nodded, and was extremely satisfied with this arrangement, but he was a little worried: "Will the establishment of Emperor Fengdu affect Empress Houtu?"

Shang Zhi pointed at the list, thought for a while and said, "Give this list to Houtu and see if she agrees. She is the master of Youdu, and she should be approved anyway."

This is also a way.When Bai Ze had an idea, he left with the list.

Shang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

It's time to arrange to pick Haotian over.It's just that before that, he still has to keep the appointment.

Shang Zhi lowered his eyes, holding the jade slip that came from Yuxu Palace.

This was sent by Yuanshi two days ago.Shang Zhi didn't go to the appointment before, but now that he's going down to earth, it's time to go there.

"The Emperor of Heaven is here!" Boy Baihe's eyes lit up, and he said hastily, "I'm going to tell the master right now."

"Don't worry, let's go there together." Shang Zhi landed on Qilin Cliff, curiously said, "Why don't you see any disciples from Yuxu Palace?"

Boy Baihe said: "The teacher and several uncles have their own caves. It is impossible to stay outside for 33 days. There are still a group of disciples in the academy. Now there are only me and the master in Yuxu Palace. Fortunately, the emperor has come, and the master knows Yes, you must be very happy."

Shang Zhi said with a smile: "I'm not a panacea, how can I make him happy immediately." Besides Yuan Shi's face, there is not much difference between happy and unhappy.

"That's not necessarily true." Boy Baihe muttered in a low voice.

Shang Zhi didn't hear what he said clearly, but he didn't take it seriously, all the way to the place where Yuan Shi was, but heard the sound of chess pieces colliding inside.

Boy Baihe wondered.He clearly remembered that the master was the only one.

Thinking of this, he knocked on the door and said, "My lord, the Emperor of Heaven is here to visit."

Yuan Shi didn't speak, but I heard Lao Tzu's laughter like watching a scene: "It's really a coincidence that I came today, why did I just bump into Shang Zhi?"

Yuan Shi did not respond to him, but said lightly: "Come in."

I don't know why, but Shang Zhi felt displeasure from his words.

Is it because he disturbed Yuanshi's chess game?

But he is also here for the appointment.

But after entering, Shang Zhi knew that he had probably misunderstood.Because the air-conditioning on Yuanshi's body was directed at Lao Tzu, on the contrary, Lao Tzu, who has always been indifferent to the outside world, had a particularly bright smile on his face today, as if he had watched a good show.

Shang Zhi sat next to them, a little embarrassed: "Did I bother you?"

"Of course not." Lao Tzu dismissed the chess game and said with a smile, "I wasn't thinking about it at first, so it's a good time for you to come here, lest this Yuxu Palace is too deserted."

Today is the second person to say that Yuxu Palace is deserted in front of Shang Zhi. Shang Zhi was curious to see the expression of Yuan Shi, the master of Yuxu Palace, and found that he was also looking at himself.

His gaze swept slowly, as if he had to take a closer look at Shang Zhizai before giving up.

Realizing this thought, Shang Zhi blushed a little.He is not a narcissistic person, why did he suddenly have this idea.

Averting his eyes slightly, Shang Zhi said embarrassedly: "I came to Yuxu Palace for an appointment. Fellow Daoist Yuanshi asked me to talk about it before, so he came here to ask why?"

Yuan Shi followed his words and asked, "Are you going to break through?"

"How do you know?" Shang Zhi subconsciously asked, only to realize that he had lost his face.

Yuan Shi is a sage, and it is only natural to figure this out.What Shang Zhi didn't expect was that Yuan Shi came to him specifically for this matter.

But Lao Tzu said: "Speaking of it, you have done a lot of things since you founded the Heavenly Court. The accumulation of these merits should allow you to make a breakthrough."

After finishing speaking, he pinched his fingers and counted for a while, then suddenly opened his eyes, took a light breath and said, "Why did your last corpse respond to love?"

As soon as these words came out, Shang Zhi and Yuan Shi looked at him at the same time.

These two sentences of Lao Tzu matched Shang Zhi's guess.When beheading the dead body before, Shang Zhi had guessed that his dead body fell on the human race first, and on his feelings.At that time, Shang Zhi was quite repulsive about liking, so he thought it would be the former.

But in Honghuang's current situation, the human race is doing well, and his obsession remains unchanged, so Shang Zhi understands that in fact, his corpse-holding has nothing to do with human beings, and he still has to untie his heart knot after all.

But there is a problem here, that is, because of the lead arrow, Shang Zhi is somewhat repulsed by emotional matters.

The solution Shang Zhi found was to go to the lower realm once, to see if he could break through this barrier after losing the memory of Mount Olympus.

Yuan Shi was more blunt, asking directly: "Who are you in love with?"

When he said this, it seemed like a question.But Lao Tzu was not afraid at all, his smile deepened by two points, and he deliberately said: "I don't know about this, but Shang Zhi will naturally have to investigate the word love."

"Shang Zhi, what do you think about this?"

Shang Zhi nodded: "I plan to go to the lower realms and spend my life in a mortal body, maybe I can unravel the relationship by mistake."

I stared at Yuanshi as if watching the excitement, and said deliberately: "This method is not bad. When you go down to experience the calamity, you may meet someone you think is suitable and talk about a relationship. No matter whether the result is good or bad, you will always have some insights of."

The more he said, the colder the breath on Yuan Shi's body became, and the more unfriendly his eyes became.

The uglier he looks, the brighter I smile.Sometimes it is very happy to break away from high-level elegance and engage in low-level fun.

Finally, I gave up the tone of resenting my younger brother for annoying me, and I didn't completely see Yuan Shi's fun, but asked gently: "Shang Zhi, what do you want from the person you like in the future, is it male or female?" , tall, short, fat and thin? What's your personality? Do you want to be caring, gentle, or handsome and caring?"

Yuan Shi heard that he might as well not ask these questions, but he could see that his elder brother came here today to anger him, otherwise, why those characters he said couldn't match him.

Shang Zhi himself was also taken aback by the question. He knew that Lao Tzu was an alchemist, but he didn't know that he thought he was an introvert in the industry and had already started to work part-time as Yue Lao.

And this Yuxu Palace has also become a blind date corner.

Just talking about the ideal partner, Shang Zhi's eyes flashed the appearance of Yuan Shi that day inexplicably.A trace of unnaturalness flashed in Shang Zhi's eyes, and Shang Zhi said in a stiff tone: "I didn't think too much about it, maybe it's suitable. If I meet him by fate, I'll treat him as the best no matter what he looks like."

There was warmth in Yuan Shi's eyes.

But I heard Lao Tzu shaking his head, disapproving and saying: "That's not okay. To find a partner, you have to find someone who knows the cold and the hot, who will hurt people. You must not find someone who is stern, can't tell your mind, and makes you embarrassed. "

"Bang—" the sound attracted the attention of Lao Tzu and Shang Zhi.

Putting down the cup in his hand heavily, Yuan Shi sneered: "I don't know, brother can also be a lover."

I was not afraid at all, and even took a sip of tea, and said leisurely: "It's because you don't know how to care about your brother. If you read these things a lot, you will naturally understand a little bit."

Shang Zhi looked at the confrontation between the two, and nodded his chin.Is it his illusion?Why do I feel that there is something in the words of these two people, something is meant.

Yuan Shi said bluntly: "You should go back."

Shang Zhi thought he was talking about himself, and got up subconsciously, but Yuan Shiyi grabbed his wrist.

"Not about you."

The place where the palms and wrists were in contact seemed to be getting hot gradually. Shang Zhi pulled out his arm with drooping eyes, gave a soft answer, and then sat down, but then he was a little out of his wits, and Shang Zhi woke up when Yuan Shi called his name. , and found that Lao Tzu was no longer there.And Boy Baihe didn't know when he withdrew.

Only him and Yuan Shi were left in the room.

This kind of situation had happened before, and it didn't make Shang Zhi feel that way, but now it became awkward, and even the air in the room seemed to become thinner.

He has clearly become a saint, but it seems that he can feel the heat for a while.

"You want to go down to the realm?" Yuan Shi asked.

Shang Zhi nodded.

"Where?"

"It should be the Suiren tribe."

"If you leave, what will happen to Heaven?"

This is not something that cannot be said, Shang Zhi thought for a moment and said: "I have found someone to take over the Heavenly Court. When I am away, he will temporarily manage the affairs of the Heavenly Court."

Hearing this, Yuan Shi pointed to the table and asked, "Are you paving the way for the new Emperor of Heaven? If you become a saint, he can take over as Emperor of Heaven as a matter of course?"

Shang Zhi nodded.

"Aren't you reluctant?" Yuan Shi asked him, "If the Emperor of Heaven is changed, you will give it to someone else, and the new Emperor of Heaven will not be easy to sit in. Are you afraid that the Heavenly Court will also be replaced in the future?"

"There's nothing to be afraid of." Shang Zhi felt that his words were strange, so he took it for granted, "I can't manage the Heavenly Court anymore, so let someone who is capable come in. If he is not capable, then replace him with someone who can take his place. A person who brings happiness to all living beings. The change of all things in the world naturally has its own laws, how can there be eternal prosperity?"

When he said this, his face was full of radiance, like a shining pearl, which was coveted by others.

Yuan Shi suddenly said: "There is one thing, maybe I was wrong."

What he said was endless, and Shang Zhi didn't understand, so he asked, "What's wrong with you?"

However, Yuan Shi whetted his appetite: "I'll tell you when you come back."

Shang Zhi was speechless.If you don't say it, don't say it, hold it in your heart, and suffocate you to death.

Today's appointment passed inexplicably, and Shang Zhi himself was confused, not understanding why Yuan Shi asked him to go to Yuxu Palace?I just want to ask him where he wants to go to the next world?That's not right, it seems that he also asked about the change of owner of Tianting in the future.

Shang Zhi's mood suddenly became serious.Yuan Shi asked this, could it be that he wanted to intervene in the Heavenly Court?

Forget it, don't think about it, as long as you don't overdo it, that's what Haotian has to deal with, and what does it have to do with him, Shangzhi.

Looking at the back of Shang Zhi leaving, Yuan Shi tapped some water and drew a map of the wilderness on the table. Finally, his finger landed on the Suiren tribe.

Gentle, patient, hot and cold, a loving partner?

Yuan Shi sneered.

No matter whether Shang Zhi wants to cross the love tribulation in the lower realm, or slash the love test after becoming a saint, the object cannot be someone else.
