Chapter 390 - A Little Wine Feast (2/2)
Kong Xuan expressed that his horizons had been broadened, and he did not know how to evaluate it.
Li Changshou smiled and said, “Brother, do you know what kind of woman you like now?”
“Yes.”
Zhao Gongming smiled and said, “I don’t need a Dao companion. Now that my Dao heart has been disturbed, I’m destined to experience a love tribulation. If I have to have a Dao companion, I hope that she can be as gentle as Second Sister, without Second Sister’s dignity, and be as intelligent as Third Sister. However, I don’t want her to have any evil interests like Third Sister. She doesn’t have to give up anything for me, and I don’t have to change my character for her. There’s no need to be deliberate when we talk. When we smile at each other, our hearts will touch. It would be best if her cultivation level is similar to mine. That way, we can understand each other. If there’s nothing else to talk about, we can talk about the Great Dao…”
Li Changshou picked up two green vegetables with his jade chopsticks and placed them on the plate in front of Zhao Gongming. He reminded, “Don’t just drink. Eat some food. Eat some food. Why are you so drunk?”
“Forget it.” Zhao Gongming shook his head. “It’s indeed difficult to find such a woman.”
Li Changshou pursed his lips. There were a few women like her in Jie School… Kong Xuan could not help but sigh. “After dividing Yin and Yang, it’s really too troublesome.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “However, because of that, the path of cultivation and seeking the truth has become vibrant and interesting.” Kong Xuan asked, “What’s the point of romance between men and women?” Li Changshou answered, “The word ‘love’ should be integrated into your nature. You can use it to stabilize yourself and resist the obliteration of your Dao heart.”
“If I don’t kill him, I’m afraid it will be difficult for me to achieve the Dao.”
“If achieving the Dao means giving up on your original nature, why do you need to transcend?” Li Changshou seemed to have started the topic and was talking about that matter calmly. “If you lose your temperament, your words and actions will be close to the Dao. You will only become a puppet of the Dao. How can you call that achieving the Dao? If a living being asked, ‘Why did I seek the truth and achieve the Dao?’ We can’t possibly answer that it’s to achieve the Dao. Achieving the Dao means that there is nothing to restrict him or hurt him. If he has no selfish desires, why would he ask for that? Therefore, achieving the Dao is definitely not about being a.s.similated by the Dao. It is not about fusing with the Dao and should not be trapped by the Dao. There is a saying in the Dao Sect’s ancient books that the three corpses were the origin of good and evil. However, the original body was not cut out but removed like clothes. What was taken off was the void and the fake. What remained was the original and the real. This was to sever the three corpses and transcend. That is one thing. If he has any feelings or worries in his heart, he might be able to obtain a guide to return to his nature when he was about to lose himself in the Great Dao. This is ultimately a good thing, and definitely not different from cultivating the Dao.” “Let me think about it carefully.” Kong Xuan nodded slowly and sat there in deep thought. Zhao Gongming pondered for a while and asked, “What ancient book is this? Why haven’t I seen it before? Also, Brother, I’m really not used to you talking about this so seriously.” Li Changshou was rendered speechless. Do you have to undermine me!?! That was just to remind Kong Xuan that it was not unnecessary to do things between men and women. Furthermore, it was very easy for a Connate Chaos Body to become an Envoy of the Great Dao and lose its original self. However, if he had worries outside the Dao, he could better resist the invasion of the Great Dao.
He was really worried about a senior brother in the backyard of the Tus.h.i.+ta Palace!
Li Changshou suddenly thought of something and asked seriously, “Brother, how far have you gone with the G.o.ddess of Golden Light?” “Which is the furthest step you’ve taken? The Budding Romance realm?” Zhao Gongming was confused. “Hold hands, embrace, kiss, consummate your marriage. Which step?” Zhao Gongming blushed and mumbled, “The first step… occasionally.” “That will be fine.” Li Changshou nodded slowly. “If you finish all four steps and say that your personalities don’t match, I will really go to the Green Touring Palace to complain about you.” Zhao Gongming cursed, “I’m not that weak! By the way, how far have you and my Second Sister gone?” “It’s about love and respect. Every time we meet, we chat and take a stroll. It should be said that he just left… Half a step.” Li Changshou explained calmly and wiped away the image of the pavilion in his heart. It was not appropriate for him to tell others about such private matters. It was enough for him to ask around.
Zhao Gongming thought for a while and asked, “Then, will my Second Sister be awkward when she interacts with you?”
Li Changshou carefully recalled the few times they had interacted. He smiled and shook his head. “Even if we don’t talk for a few days and nights, we still feel quite harmonious.” “Ahem.” Kong Xuan had already come to his senses. “If that’s the case, I have a presumptuous request.”
He sounded much more respectful. This presumptuous request… “Fellow Daoist, please speak.”
“The next time you meet Fellow Daoist Yun Xiao, can you let me observe secretly?”
Kong Xuan knew that his request was a little overboard. He explained, “I want to know more about these matters. Mother entrusted the last hope of the Phoenix Clan to me. Now that my realm is in a predicament, my Connate Chaos Body has long lost its support. It’s time to confirm the Yin and Yang.”
Li Changshou said seriously, “Fellow Daoist, do you know that we humans should be considered experts in the Primordial World when it comes to reproduction? Especially the first batch of humans that had been personally created by the Holy Mother. That was definitely the true meaning of the rapid reproduction of the human race! The human race is the main character of the world. If the phoenix race can form a good relations.h.i.+p with the human race, their destiny will be affected…”
Kong Xuan could not help but ask, “Where can we find the first batch of humans?”
“Isn’t this a coincidence?” Zhao Gongming slammed the table. “There are only two… positions in Jie School… Brother, why are your eyes so terrifying? Did I say something wrong?” Li Changshou said calmly, “Let’s talk about how we should help you deal with the aftermath.”
Zhao Gongming blinked and did not understand.
Kong Xuan squinted and smiled. He said, “If only I could meet Fellow Daoist Xuan Du again.” Zhao Gongming was enlightened and could not help but scratch his head awkwardly.
Li Changshou raised his eyebrows. He had a plan in mind. He would not mention it again today.
Li Changshou had actually long prepared a plan to help Zhao Gongming solve the problem. At that moment, he took out a scroll and began to explain his thoughts. At that moment, the G.o.ddess of Golden Light also knew that the two of them were not suitable to be Dao companions. When they were chatting beside the Dragon Treasure Pool on Golden Ao Island, they had made an agreement. If they felt that it was not appropriate, they would not force each other. That escape route was actually the brocade pouch that Li Changshou had given the G.o.ddess of Fire Spirit back then.
Now that Zhao Gongming and the G.o.ddess of Golden Light had reached that step, Li Changshou’s plan was completed.
How could there be lovers in the world who liked each other and were also compatible with each other? Half of the relations.h.i.+ps were based on whether they liked each other when they were young and whether they were compatible when they were older. It was the same in the Primordial World.
Lovers would end up together. To some living beings, it was just a beautiful wish.
“But, Brother.”
Zhao Gongming pondered for a while. “Isn’t it a little exaggerated to make the separation such a big matter? No one knows that Junior Sister Jinguang and I…” Li Changshou reminded calmly, “Don’t forget Senior Brother Duobao’s Earth Cave mystical ability.” Zhao Gongming was stunned at first. Then, he frowned.
By the side, Kong Xuan pinched his fingers to calculate. Then, he could not help but laugh and say, “Interesting.”
In the shade of a tree in Tus.h.i.+ta Palace, a young Daoist who had just put away the Taiji Painting and was about to cultivate after watching the show suddenly frowned. Why is it so… noisy again today?
