"What's so surprising about this?" Bai Juyi said nonchalantly: "Li Bai is my idol and the person I want to surpass throughout my life. Naturally, I will not sit back and watch others slander him. As for Concubine Yang, although she has died a lot

Years have passed, but it has always lived in my heart. Her love with Tang Xuanzong is also the most beautiful love in the world and will never fade."

He was arrogant and free-spirited, but could not hide his admiration for Li Bai.

Therefore, he could feel the beauty of Concubine Yang from Li Bai's poems, and regarded the love between Concubine Yang and Emperor Xuanzong as the most beautiful color in the world.

"I acknowledge Li Bai's literary talents and agree with your admiration for him, but when it comes to the love between Yang Guifei and Tang Xuanzong, when you truly understand the truth, you may be very disappointed." The leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult shook his head and said.

In response to this, Bai Juyi was furious and said: "I have seen people like you who don't believe in beauty and always question beautiful things. I don't bother to argue with you. If you have time, you can come with us.

Investigate, I guarantee that I can let you appreciate how earth-shattering that story was back then."

Of course, if you firmly believe in something and fall into paranoia, the truth will no longer make sense.

He even ignored what the leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult had said before, that he had attended the Banquet of Bliss, and also ignored whether Li Bai had ever met Yang Guifei.

If the leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult has fallen into darkness and no longer believes in the beauty of the world or the existence of love, then Bai Juyi is too naive, believes too much in beauty, and overestimates the so-called love with wishful thinking - both of them are obsessed with it.

Obstacle, falling into paranoia, is an unconscious state.

However, Li He saw through it but did not say anything.

Enlightenment of a person cannot be achieved by just using a few words. Only by truly touching that person's heart can the confusion be overcome.

"Okay, Pindao will also take a look." Li He said with a smile.

Then, he, the leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult, Bai Juyi, and Kukai searched for clues about Concubine Yang and the demon cat. On the way, Kukai asked Li He: "The Taoist priest is also a practitioner. I wonder if he has ever found a way to stop himself from suffering?

"

One of the protagonists of the original work, Kukai, a monk from the Japanese country, was a practitioner who went to the Tang Dynasty to seek liberation.

His magic power is negligible, but his level is not low, roughly equivalent to the Japanese version of Tang Sanzang.

A large part of the culture of the prosperous Tang Dynasty that the Japanese country learned was brought from the Tang Dynasty.

"No, because I am a poor Taoist, there is no pain at all." Li He shook his head and said, "I don't know why you are in pain, but if you can't see through your own pain in your heart, you want to find a way to eliminate pain from Buddhism.

"You are a poor Taoist who does not practice Buddhism, but you also know that Buddha cannot help you."

Upon hearing this, Kukai immediately asked: "Why?"

If you are a person with a low level, you will definitely feel that Li He is talking about Buddha everywhere and belittling Buddhism, but he can see that what Li He is talking about is not Buddha, but Kukai.

It’s not that the Buddha cannot eliminate suffering, but that Kukai cannot be transformed by the Buddha.

"In our Taoist school, your situation is that you have mental obstacles that cannot be solved. No matter how you practice, you will never be at ease or free." Li He smiled and said, "In Buddhism, it is because your mind is obsessed.

Because I don’t know how to let go of my mind, I can’t be liberated, and even the Buddha can’t transform it.”

Hearing this, Kukai couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

"The Taoist priest practices Taoism. It seems that Buddhism is not low-level?" Bai Juyi next to him said.

"Cultivation of Taoism and Buddhism are all based on worldly principles. Different paths lead to the same destination. How can there be such a strict division?" Li He shook his head and said: "Speaking of which, sometimes when poor Taoists see mortals, they imagine the 'dispute between Taoism and Buddhism'

Sometimes, I really want to laugh - Tao, Buddha, Lord, etc., the most fundamental direction of all beliefs is the heaven, earth, nature, the universe itself, which is originally one, but there are deviations due to different people's understanding.

Dispute with each other?”

Taoism believes in the Three Purities, but in fact, the Three Purities are just appearances, and "Tao" itself is the belief of those who practice Taoism.

Buddhism believes in Sakyamuni, but in fact, Buddha is just a person who became a Buddha. He is "Buddha", but "Buddha" is more than him. "Buddha" in a macro sense is enlightenment and the understanding of man and heaven and earth.

Everything is the same thing as "Tao".

Even the Lord and God are just imaginary beings, the secret masters of heaven and earth.

In fact, there is no master of heaven and earth, the universe is the universe, and what is believed in is Himself.

Therefore, Li He may criticize certain monks or godfathers, or he may beat the God of a certain plane, or the Buddha of a certain world, but he will not question or belittle the "Buddha" itself.

"The universe? It's very big." The leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult said suddenly.

I don't know what he suddenly thought of.

The four of them searched all the way and soon found the diary that recorded the blissful feast that year.

Just like in the original work, at the beginning, Bai Juyi and Kukai were fascinated by what happened about the Banquet of Bliss, but soon, when they saw what happened to Maweiyi, they both began to feel heartache. Especially when they figured out everything.

, when they learned that the so-called "Corpse Dissection Technique" was actually a trick to trick Yang Guifei into willingly dying, both of them felt like they were about to collapse.

It's like a Condor Shooting fan suddenly discovered that Guo Jing and Huang Rong had no true love. Guo Jing killed Huang Rong, seized the Taohua Island family property, and married another woman pretending to be Huang Rong.

Their idols collapsed and their beliefs shattered, leaving Bai Juyi and Bai Juyi feeling hopeless for a while.

"I just said, there is no love at all in this world." The leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult said.

However, this was not said to Bai Juyi, but to Li He.

In response, Li He smiled, shook his head and said: "Just looking at these cannot prove anything. Even if you saw it with your own eyes, you still ignored many details."

As he spoke, he waved his sleeves and directly used illusions to construct the feast of bliss thirty years ago.

Unlike Bailong and Danlong's illusions, the illusions he cast with magic can truly simulate everything that happened back then: there, after Li Bai wrote "Clouds think of clothes, flowers think of faces", he denied that it was written for Concubine Yang Guifei.

The poem, it is terrible that it may offend the noble lady and the emperor, but it still denies it.

Because it really isn't.

In his words, "You can't lie to your empress", which seems to have a negative emotional intelligence.

But in fact, this is him. He is the same on the outside, not hypocritical, and not flattering. This is Li Bai, and he is worthy of being a poet!

Concubine Yang, on the other hand, was not angry. Instead, she said, "The Tang Dynasty is great because of you."

It was precisely because of this magnanimity that Li Bai looked at her back and said again, "The clouds are like the clothes, the flowers are like the face."

"When Li Bai wrote poems, he was just dreaming, but after meeting Yang Guifei, he found that the person in his dreams met Yang Guifei!" Li He said to Bai Juyi: "Your idol has not dropped in price, and the truth is not letting people know.

You can't accept it, but it's more beautiful than you know."

When Bai Juyi heard this, he said with emotion: "I see, I wish I had been born thirty years earlier!"

Then, the scene changed again and jumped to Mawei Station, the day before everyone tricked Concubine Yang into dying.

Tang Xuanzong hugged Concubine Yang, and everyone thought they would see something indescribable, but they only saw Tang Xuanzong tossing and turning all night long. Not only that, after Yang Guifei was buried, Tang Xuanzong also suffered from insomnia for a long time, until his death.

Didn't get any good sleep.

"Why? Since there is no love, why do you have to suffer for the imperial concubine?" the leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult frowned.

"Love exists in everyone, but some people love deeply, and some people love coldly. Most people's feelings can't be resisted by even money, rice, oil and salt. Most of the oaths of each other are lost to reality. The same is true for Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty. In his position

, you are burdened not only with the throne, but also with the country of the Tang Dynasty. It is normal to give up a beloved woman for the sake of the country, but to waste the country of the Tang Dynasty for a woman is truly absurd!" Li He said, and added: "Of course, Pindao is not.

To clear his name, right or wrong cannot change the ruthless nature of the emperor. I just want to say that he has love for Concubine Yang, but that love is not deep enough for him to give up everything for it."

Didn’t Tang Xuanzong love Concubine Yang?

Among all living beings, those who have abandoned love, don’t they have love in their hearts?

"Being shackled and unable to free yourself is the real pain," Kukai said.

Then, Li He used illusions to release a scene of a black cat scratching Tang Xuanzong's eyes. This shattered the beautiful legend and also allowed Bai Juyi and the others to see the sachet that Tang Xuanzong was holding tightly. It was the only thing left by him.

, apart from that, there is nothing.

"Is this black cat the cat demon?" Bai Juyi said.

Li He nodded when he heard this.

"Okay, I admit that there is still something like 'love' in this world." The leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult suddenly said: "But, Brother Tao, you have confirmed its existence, but at the same time you have also confirmed that it does not last forever, nor does it last forever.

Beautiful, but not strong enough, can be easily defeated. This kind of unsteady love is more sad than no love at all."

It is better not to prove the existence of love but to make it no longer great.

Because in imagination, the real "love" still hasn't appeared.

"Pindao said, love can be cool or deep, but different people have different loves." Li He said, turning the screen again and playing the scene of Bailong transforming into a demon cat: Mingming Yang

The imperial concubine was dead, but he still couldn't bear to let her be harmed by the poisonous poison, so he sucked all the poisonous poison into his body and used his own life to exchange for the integrity of Yang Guifei's body.

This behavior made the leader of the Moon Worshiping Church very puzzled.

"So, he turned into a demon cat and started to take revenge on the person who killed the imperial concubine?"

The leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult had participated in the Banquet of Bliss thirty years ago and had seen Danlong and White Dragon with his own eyes. Therefore, when he saw the demon cat for the first time, he knew that "the cat was not a cat" but a white dragon. However, until

After Li He presented the cause and effect, he discovered that there was such a hidden secret.

As for Bai Juyi and Kukai, they were already stupid at this time, and their brains were so dumb that they could no longer say anything.

"It seems that I was really wrong. There is love in this world." The leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult said, and a pure white light suddenly bloomed from his body.

Coupled with the loose robe and open arms, he was like God for a moment.

In other words, at this moment, he is "God": the light shines on the entire city of Chang'an, the panicked Chen Yunqiao calms down, Chunqin becomes no longer evil, and Tang Xuanzong, who has been buried for many days, also changes in pain.

Became a smile.

In the temple, Danlong, who had escaped into Buddhism and became Master Huiguo, also felt that the pain was far away from him.
