Honghuang: I am Kuiniu, and I instructed Nuwa to create humans at the beginning.

Chapter 24 My Self-Imagination

After hearing that Laozi had finished his sermon, all the humans stood up and saluted Laozi, then returned to their tribes. At the same time, some humans had already made up their minds to go to Kunlun Mountain to try their luck. After all, being able to worship under the Three Pure Ones was definitely a rare opportunity.

As the human race left, the only ones left in front of Laozi and Niu Kui were Laozi's two new disciples, the Huanglong clan, and the three ancestors of the human race.

Huang Longshi even said directly to Laozi: "Senior Taiqing, I am the chief of the human race, Huang Longshi. I would like to invite Senior Taiqing to stay in the human tribe for a few days. This will give us a chance to thank Senior Taiqing for preaching to the human race."

After hearing this, Laozi said to Huang Longshi: "I am going to walk around among the human race and take a look. You don't need to worry about me. Go and do your own thing."

Seeing that Laozi rejected him, Huang Longshi nodded directly, and then said goodbye to Niu Kui and Laozi. At the same time, the three ancestors of the human race were also ready to leave with Huang Longshi. Before leaving, they had to say goodbye to Laozi and Niu Kui.

This inevitably made Niu Kui's eyes fall on Suirenshi, and an idea came to his mind at that time. Then he stretched out his hand and pulled Suirenshi over, and said to Laozi.

"Senior Taiqing, this is one of the three ancestors of the human race, Suiren, who drilled wood to make fire. He is also my disciple's grandson. This disciple of mine is best at using fire. I wonder if Senior Taiqing has any magic weapon with fire attributes. I will borrow it from my disciple to help him comprehend."

It is natural that Laozi knew about the three ancestors of the human race. He knew that they made contributions to the human race under the guidance of Niu Kui. They were recognized by the Heavenly Dao and became Daluo Jinxian.
And now Niu Kui's words clearly showed that he was asking for a favor from me. But I couldn't refuse, after all, I owed Niu Kui a favor.

What's more, he had just found his own path and had not figured out how to proceed. Therefore, he still needed Niu Kui's guidance, which made it even more difficult for him to refuse Niu Kui.

So I nodded immediately, and then said: "This time when I came out, I really brought two magic weapons with me of fire attribute."

As he spoke, Laozi took out a banana fan and said to Suiren: "This treasure is called the banana fan, which grows on the innate banana tree on Mount Buzhou. Just fan it gently to produce the Samadhi True Fire. Today I will give it to you."

When Suiren heard that the banana fan could actually produce the Samadhi True Fire, he was delighted and was ready to reach out to take it. However, before his hand touched the banana fan, Niu Kui spoke directly.

"Senior Taiqing, you must not do that. This palm leaf fan is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. How can you give it away so easily? Saint Taiqing, please change it."

Hearing Niu Kui say that this banana fan is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure and cannot be given away easily, Laozi couldn't help but feel happy. After all, his other fire-attributed magic weapon is one grade higher than this banana fan.

Although Laozi felt that Niu Kui would not let Suirenshi accept it even if he took it out, he still took out a small red flag. He even decided in his heart that when Niu Kui refused, he would agree to Niu Kui and personally refine a fire attribute magic weapon for Suirenshi.

Little did he know how happy Niu Kui was when he saw the little red flag in Laozi's hand. He said to himself, "Yes, this is what I want. When Guangchengzi doesn't have this flaming flag, let's see how he can deal with Yin Jiao." Niu Kui made up his mind and said directly, "As the saying goes, a gift from an elder cannot be refused. Although this little flag is not as good as a palm leaf fan, it is a great blessing for you to get it. Why don't you thank the Saint Taiqing?"

Although Suiren liked the banana fan very much, he could not say anything more after hearing his master say so. He bowed to Laozi and said, "I, the ancestor of the younger generation, Suiren, thank you, Senior Taiqing."

After he finished speaking, he stretched out his hands to take the Lidi Yanguang Banner from Laozi's hand. This inevitably made Laozi feel helpless, thinking, "You didn't even listen to me about the origin of this Lidi Yanguang Banner, and you categorically believe that it is not as good as the banana fan?"

Helpless, he could only continue to speak: "This treasure is called the Lidi Yanguang Banner, which is made from the lotus leaf of the Creation Green Lotus. The flag is one foot and seven inches long, and the color of the flag is dark red. It has the effect of confusing yin and yang, reversing the five elements, making all evil retreat, and being invulnerable to all kinds of attacks. Today, I will give it to you, and keep it for self-defense."

At this time, Laozi once again told Niu Kui the origin of the Lidi Yanguang Banner in order to give Niu Kui a chance to refuse. After all, Niu Kui did not allow Suirenshi to accept even the top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Banana Fan, let alone this top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

But what I didn't expect was that although Niu Kui showed a look of shock on his face, he didn't let Suiren reject him. He just said, "My master originally thought that you were not worthy of a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. I didn't expect you to get a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. This is also a blessing for you. Why don't you thank Senior Taiqing for giving you the treasure again?"

Hearing what Niu Kui said, Suiren Shi understood that he could not let go of this opportunity. He kowtowed three times to Laozi and said, "Thank you, Senior Taiqing, for giving me the best innate spiritual treasure. I will never forget your kindness today."

Seeing this scene, Laozi finally understood that he had to give away his top-grade innate spiritual treasure. Helplessly, he could only smile and nod to Suirenshi, and then handed the Lidi Yanguang Banner to Suirenshi.

As the Lidiyanguang Banner was sent out, Laozi suddenly remembered that Niu Kui was proficient in the art of deduction. This inevitably made Laozi think of a possibility, that is, he was calculated by Niu Kui.

However, thinking that Niu Kui might be the incarnation of Heaven, Laozi imagined another result for himself. That is, he had no chance to obtain the Flame Light Flag, and needed to use it to exchange for his chance to become a god.

Thinking of this, Laozi no longer felt that he was being schemed against by Niu Kui. Instead, he felt that he was one step closer to becoming a saint.

The Suiren who had obtained the magic weapon naturally said goodbye to Laozi under Niu Kui's instruction. He disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, as if he was afraid that if he walked too slowly, Laozi would take the Lidi Yanguang Flag back.

But at this moment, I don't have time to care about those things. Instead, I asked Niu Kui directly: "Daoyou Niu Kui, I wonder what you think I should do for the human race next?"
