Two treasure maps

After completing the solemn kowtow, Northern Emperor Celestial Master Kou Qianzhi raised his head and chest and said in a loud voice: "Greetings, Lord. I came here this time to ask for three important things." After that, he slowly took out a seven-story pagoda from his arms. Although the pagoda was exquisite, it looked a little dull at the moment, as if it had lost its former glory.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared at the end of the second platform.

This man has a slender figure, a posture as straight as a pine tree, a handsome face, a heroic look between his eyebrows, a high nose bridge, thin lips, and arrogant eyes. He seems to hold an indifferent and distant attitude towards everything in the world.

He was wearing a red Taoist robe with fluttering sleeves, just like an immortal. The robe was embroidered with delicate cloud patterns and crane patterns, a silver ribbon was tied around his waist, and his hair was casually tied up with a red jade hairpin, which made him look mysterious and majestic. He held a whisk in his hand, and his eyes were sharp. He saw the pagoda in Kou Tianshi's hand at a glance.

The man in the red Taoist robe flicked his whisk lightly and whispered, "Yes!" As his words fell, the originally dim pagoda suddenly shone brightly, as if it had been injected with new vitality and regained its former aura.

Seeing this, Kou Qianzhi, the Heavenly Master of the Northern Emperor, was overjoyed and bowed again to express his gratitude. He knew the importance of this pagoda and it was a great blessing that it could be restored.

Then, he took a deep breath and reported: "The Jie Religion has already had some contact with the fake heaven. This is the second thing I came here to ask for." His words revealed some worry and nervousness, and he was obviously uneasy about the contact between the Jie Religion and the fake heaven.

The man in the red robe frowned slightly after hearing this, but soon relaxed. He said calmly, "Reward!" Then, a healing pill suitable for the Northern Emperor Heavenly Master Kou Qianzhi appeared out of thin air and floated in front of him. Seeing this, Heavenly Master Kou thanked him and put the pill in his pocket.

Finally, Beihuang Tianshi Kou Qianzhi hesitated for a moment, but still mustered up the courage to say: "The third thing, I beg you to bestow upon us the magic weapon to defeat Jiejiao, so that Taishang Mountain will not encounter any unexpected events." His words were full of earnestness and expectation, and he was obviously extremely worried about the safety of Taishang Mountain.

However, the man in the red robe had a stern expression after hearing this. He said in a deep voice: "Heaven and earth are not benevolent and treat all things as straw dogs. Saints are not benevolent and treat the people as straw dogs. Everything in the world has its destiny. You need to handle the affairs of Taishang Mountain by yourself."

When Kou Qianzhi, the Northern Emperor Heavenly Master, heard this, his face suddenly fell. He understood what the man in the red white crane robe meant. This was also the attitude of the Taiji Palace, which was to let him rely on his own strength to deal with the threat of Jiejiao. Although he was a little disappointed, he also understood that this was something he could not do.

Seeing this, the man in the red Taoist robe said no more. He waved his whisk lightly and said, "Please go back!" As soon as he finished speaking, Beihuang Tianshi Kou Qianzhi felt dizzy. When he came to his senses, he found that he and the cushion had left the Taiji Palace.

Kou Qianzhi, the Heavenly Master of the Northern Emperor, sat on the futon with mixed feelings. He recalled his experience in the Taiji Palace, the majestic figure in the red Taoist robe, the glittering pagoda, and the appearance of the healing pill, all of which made him feel excited and disappointed. He was excited because he got the gift of repairing the pagoda and the healing pill; he was disappointed because he did not get the magic weapon to restrain the Jiejiao.

Thinking of the blue white crane robe of Taoist Shanlan, that is a magic weapon that can take them to the twenty-sixth heaven, I think the magic power of this red robe should also be good. Taiji Palace has a deep foundation, and any robe is an invulnerable magic weapon, let alone others? He can't force it, and he can't complain. He must rely on his own strength to make achievements. This time, dealing with the crisis of Jiejiao and protecting the peace of Taishang Mountain is the best opportunity.

As the cushion slowly descended, he saw the mountains and rivers below, and suddenly realized that the cushion he was sitting on was also a magic weapon. If he could leave this cushion on Mount Taishang and place it in the Taiwu Hall for worship, could it also be used as a magic weapon to restrain the Jiejiao?

He descended from one heaven to another without feeling any discomfort. In the past, whenever a golden boy or a jade girl from the Taiji Palace went on a mission, he would go back to Yuanzhou of the Nine Heavens with them. This was the first time that Fu Tuan personally sent him back.

The cushion continued to descend, passing through layers of clouds and mist, and finally arrived at the Taishang Mountain in Yuanzhou of the Nine-Layer Heavenly Dao. Master Kou Tianshi stood on the top of the mountain, overlooking the entire mountain range, his heart full of determination and resolve. He believed that he and his disciples on Taishang Mountain would be able to overcome all difficulties and protect this pure land.

Kou Qianzhi, the Northern Heavenly Master, was originally full of confidence and had infinite vision for the future. He sat on the seemingly ordinary cushion and had no idea what would happen next. The moment he arrived at the Taishang Mountain, the cushion suddenly began to tilt, as if it had life. It seemed to be dissatisfied with Kou Qianzhi's greed and decided to send him back to reality in an unexpected way.

Kou Tianshi was startled. He tried to steady himself and try not to look so embarrassed. He knew that as the Northern Emperor, his every move represented the majesty of the entire Taishang Mountain. If the disciples on the mountain saw him losing his composure at this moment, it would be so embarrassing.

But fate didn't seem to favor him. A strong wind suddenly blew over, making him unstable, and he finally fell to his knees. At that moment, his heart was filled with regret and shame. What was worse was that this scene happened to be seen by the disciples who were practicing, and they all looked at him in surprise.

At this moment, a majestic voice suddenly came from the air: "I'll teach you a lesson this time. If you do evil things next time, don't blame me for reporting to Lord Jun and having you withdraw to the lower world." When Master Kou Tian heard this voice, his heart trembled. He knew that this was a master in the Taiji Palace warning him.

He raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound, but there was no one there. He was extremely anxious, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He knew he had made a serious mistake, and he kept saying sorry in his heart: "I dare not! I dare not!"

In a panic, he suddenly remembered what he had done before. He knew that the crane robes in the Taiji Palace were all magic weapons, so how could he be so greedy and want to forcibly keep the cushion that sent him back? He felt regretful and wondered how he could be so stupid.

Kou Tianshi had mixed emotions. He was filled with shame, anger, and deep regret. He stood there with a blank look in his eyes, as if he had lost his soul.

He recalled what he had done before and couldn't help but lament his greed and ignorance. As the Northern Emperor Heavenly Master, he should have abided by morality and principles, but this time he wanted to forcibly keep the Taiji Palace's cushion because of his greed, and ended up like this.

Thinking of this, Kou Tianshi felt a deep regret in his heart. He felt that he was ashamed of all the disciples of Taishang Mountain and the cultivation and trust of Master Jun. He secretly swore in his heart that from now on, he must abide by morality and not be moved by greed.

However, anger and shame were also intertwined in his heart. He was angry at his own stupidity, why did he do such a ridiculous thing; he was ashamed of his greed, why did he forget his identity and responsibility for a magic weapon.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He knew that the most important thing at this moment was to calm down and reflect on his mistakes. He turned back to his residence, locked himself in the house, and began a deep self-reflection.

In the following days, Master Kou stayed indoors and reflected on his mistakes every day. He kept reminding himself to keep a clear mind and not be tempted by greed. At the same time, he also began to strengthen his practice, hoping to protect the peace of Taishang Mountain with greater strength.
