Chapter IV: Expressing Attitudes
The evening breeze blew through a few unknown trees in the courtyard, and then passed through the hall door to enter, and a few candles on the incense table flickered in and out under the impetus of the wind, and seemed to be ready to be extinguished at any time.

At this time, Zhao Qingyu sat calmly on a sandalwood Taishi chair, and sitting opposite was Lu Li and Yang Li. He has just dragged out the rectification plan to the two of them, and the purpose is very clear, he Zhao Qingyu is going to carry out a drastic religious reform next, and he needs their full support.
Yang Li was obviously not very comfortable with Zhao Qingyu's good attitude, or he was flattered, so that his hands holding the teacup trembled a little, and he didn't realize that he splashed a few drops of tea on his body. And Lu Li's performance is much better, because of the last decentralization, he obviously has adapted to Zhao Qingyu's changes, although there are still a lot of doubts in his heart, but he can accept it, but what Lu Li can't understand is that he hasn't seen him for three years, Zhao Qingyu gives him a completely different feeling than before, it is an indescribable feeling, sitting opposite him, there is always a pressure lingering in his heart inexplicably.
This bad feeling made Lu Li frown.
Suddenly, Lu Li's heart was shocked, as if he had thought of something, he stared at Zhao Qingyu carefully for a few moments, and found that there was a faint golden light rising above his head, which was the auspicious qi of the Immortal Family, "Senior Brother Fei has already cultivated the Five Thunder Law to the tenth layer." With this thought, Lu Li was extremely depressed, if Zhao Qingyu in the past made him look at him, then now it is beyond his reach.
He himself also cultivated the "Five Thunder Method", although he was inferior to Zhao Qingyu in terms of realm, he also knew that the ninth and tenth layers seemed to be only one layer apart, but in fact, they were like worlds apart. From ancient times to the present, countless monks have been stuck between the ninth and tenth layers, unable to break through, and finally died of depression, and their names have gradually disappeared in the long river of history.
Lu Li is very worried that he will follow in their footsteps, so he has always wanted to replace the position of Zhao Qingyu's boss, and then under his leadership, he will make an outstanding contribution to the promotion of Taoism, so as to get the appreciation of Sanqing and become the compiler of the heavenly court, so as to be eligible to enjoy longevity immortal fruits such as peach.
You must know that in this world, whether it is immortals or demons and monsters, they cannot achieve immortality, they can only live forever. And the premise of achieving "longevity" is to cultivate a powerful exercise, like the "way of immortality" practiced by the monkey, in addition to the exercises, is to eat some life-prolonging supplements, such as peaches, ginseng fruits, Tang monk meat and other rare resources.
Not to mention that the method of immortality can be encountered all the way, as far as the "way of immortality" is concerned, it is not a complete set of exercises, and it needs to be supplemented by one of the exercises "Thirty-six Changes of Tiangang" or "Seventy-two Changes of Earth", otherwise once the three disasters come, the cultivator will be scattered nine times out of ten, which is very dangerous. For the above reasons, relying on the cultivation of exercises to live forever is not the first choice.
As a tonic for prolonging life, the peach bears the brunt, not only has a good effect, but also is not very dangerous, and it is a must-have product for the gods and monsters. But since the monkey havoc in the Heavenly Palace hundreds of years ago, the Jade Emperor's peach supply system has also been adjusted, only the compilers of the Heavenly Court can eat it, and the monsters in the lower realm have lost this benefit in the past.
Compared with peaches, although the ginseng fruit is a little less effective in prolonging life, it is okay, and it is not far from where the monsters live, so it seems that it is easier to get. But the ginseng fruit is in the special geographical location of "Wuzhuang View", which is the territory of Zhen Yuanzi, Zhen Yuanzi compared to Rulai and Laojun, he is called a miserable, but people are the ancestors of the earth immortals, not to mention the name, there are many friends in the three mountains and five mountains, and the attention of the ginseng fruit is estimated to fall into the hands of Zhen Yuanzi before it is done, and the risk is too great.
In the end, only Tang monk meat is left, but whether Tang monk meat has the effect of immortality is still just a legend, I have never seen the journey to the west, there are only two people who have really eaten Tang monk meat, Lao Sha and Golden-winged Dapeng Eagle (Lao Sha ate nine scriptures, Golden-winged Dapeng Eagle knows the specific way to eat Tang Seng meat), and they all ate Tang Seng's previous life, as for the effect, unless you ask them in person, the authenticity of immortality cannot be verified. Besides, Tang monks are in the Tang Dynasty in Dongtu, not to mention that finding him is like looking for a needle in a haystack, but who knows if there are gods and Buddhas around him to protect him? Therefore, it is too dangerous to seek Tang monk meat, and there are too many uncertain factors in the middle, and it is not cost-effective to buy and sell. Moreover, the news of the three immortals is closed, and they have never heard of the legend of Tang monk meat.
Based on the above considerations, for the Huli, Luli, and Yangli people who are at the bottom and are always worried about their lifespan, immortality is just an obsession in their hearts, to be precise, it is just a dream. But they have to persevere, once they lose the support of their dreams, they are equivalent to bowing to the cruel fate, and in the end they will only end up dying on the road of pursuing immortality like their predecessors.
"Congratulations to my brother for breaking through and stepping into the realm of true immortals. After confirming his conjecture, Lu Li hurriedly congratulated Zhao Qingyu. It's just that his expression is a little complicated, and thinking about it, Lu Li has always thought that his ability is not inferior to Zhao Qingyu, and even several times stronger than him in some aspects.
But today's Zhao Qingyu has opened his eyes, not to mention that his strength has reached a new level, that is, the whole set of plans he proposed, from the perspective of Lu Li, it is naturally too good to find a problem, it is conceivable that if this plan is implemented, the Taoist forces established by the three of them in Che Chi will change the previous mud and sand, good and bad, and will usher in a new and vigorous stage of benign development, and by that time, the prestige of the three of them will reach its peak.
Although the future scene seen from the plan is infinitely attractive, Lu Li is still a little hesitant in his heart, Zhao Qingyu called himself and Yang Li here at night, on the surface it is talking about the plan, but in fact, it is also a disguised expression of heartfelt feelings between the two of them. Lu Li was unwilling to erase his ambitions so easily, and devoted himself to helping Zhao Qingyu.
After thinking about it for a while, Lu Li decided to wait and see how Yang Li would choose, if he expressed his support for Zhao Qingyu, then he had no choice but to hand over his heart, and from then on he became the right-hand man of his senior brother.
"I didn't expect that the eldest brother has been in retreat for just three years, and his strength is several times better than before, which is really gratifying!" Yang Li on the side listened to Lu Li's words, in addition to envy, he was more happy for Zhao Qingyu. After all, the three of them practiced the "Five Thunder Method" at the same time, and now Zhao Qingyu has taken the lead in practicing to the tenth layer, which shows that there is no problem with this exercise itself, and he firmly believes that as long as he practices hard, he will catch up with his eldest brother one day.
The congratulations of the two virtuous brothers were understood by the brothers. It's just that at the moment, this rectification plan is still undecided, and I don't know what the two virtuous brothers think, so I can't help but say it, and everyone will discuss the solution together. ”
Seeing that the two of them didn't express their stance for a long time, Zhao Qingyu was a little breathless, and just spent a long time talking, his intention was to subdue the two of them to do things for themselves, but they were good; In this case, they have to pierce this layer of window paper, and they have to make a choice no matter what.
If they don't agree, then everyone will break up, believing that with their prophetic knowledge of the Journey to the West, over time, they will shine in this world of gods and Buddhas.
As for the future outcome of Lu Li and Yang Li, Zhao Qingyu could only sigh. Speaking of brotherhood, the three of them have a little bit, after all, everyone has been cultivating together for hundreds of years, even if the cat and the mouse get along for a long time, they will also have feelings. But Zhao Qingyu came from later generations, and he deeply understood a truth: there is no eternal friendship in this world, only eternal interests.
Once the three of them lose the rope of interest, how long can the remaining little brotherhood last? It is true that Zhao Qingyu is a person who values feelings, but the premise is that the other party must be really good to him and know how to care about him, and he has always been at odds with Lu Li and Yang Li in private.
"Ahem, what my brother said is very true, but I have always only done things, not good at words, and I have to ask the third brother about this matter before I can make a decision. Lu Li threw the problem to Yang Li next to him.
It wasn't until this moment that Yang Li understood that Zhao Qingyu wanted to express his heartfelt feelings. He hurriedly stood up and said to Zhao Qingyu opposite: "The plan that Senior Brother just mentioned, I can't tell if it's good or bad. However, senior brother, if you have orders, the younger brother should do it. ”
In the past, Zhao Qingyu was self-righteous, and he liked to be competitive in everything, Yang Li didn't like it, and Lu Li had too many eyes, and he didn't like to be tied to this person, so he never intervened in the power struggle between the two, so as not to hurt himself. But what Zhao Qingyu gave him today was completely the feeling of a strong man, that was a kind of personality charm, and Yang Li realized that it was time for him to stand in line.
Zhao Qingyu was overjoyed in his heart, and then looked at Lu Li to see how he chose. Sensing Zhao Qingyu's gaze, Lu Li sighed in his heart, cut off the second heart, and hurriedly expressed his heart: "What the third brother means is also what I mean." ”
"Haha, thank you two virtuous brothers for your support, let's go, let's go out and find a restaurant, don't get drunk tonight!"
After receiving the reply from the two, Zhao Qingyu was in a good mood, and hurriedly got up and pulled the two out.
