When Chunyang Immortal and the old acquaintance Fairy Peony Fairy had a while, they also ran to the private room of Li Ke's restaurant, and the Eight Immortals at Shangdong finally gathered together.

"You suddenly appeared in front of me. I think you won't enter the Three Treasures Hall if you have nothing to do!"

Li Ke had known for a long time that the Eight Immortals in the Cave suddenly appeared, and they would definitely not be bored.

Everyone was here, and some of his questions were answered, so he naturally went straight to the point.

The Eight Immortals in the Cave looked at each other, and the most straightforward Zhenren Chunyang spoke directly: "It's so refreshing, is the third prince willing to join the Taoist sect?"

"Join the Taoist sect?"

Li Ke was a little surprised. He had not taken action yet. Why did a Taoist genius like the Eight Immortals come to the door on his own initiative?

According to his previous plan, he mainly wanted to join the Taoist sect.

As for Buddhism, let’s forget it…

Someone wants to say, isn’t it good to join the Lingtai Fangcun Mountain and the Shaky Moon Sanxing Cave?

The key is, where is this place?

In addition, which side is the true identity of Bodhi Patriarch?

As for the story of Journey to the West, Bodhi Patriarch obviously was waiting for Sun Wukong to come.

Otherwise, there were so many disciples in the Fangcun Mountain in Lingtai and the Symphony Star Cave, and in the end, only Sun Wuzi got the true teaching, which was really hard to explain.

The greatest possibility is that those so-called disciples are just pretenses. The Bodhi Patriarch didn't take it seriously at all. He directly taught some basic practice methods and simply freely raised them.

Otherwise, if there were a few powerful brothers, monkeys would not fight alone when they fought with the Heavenly Court.

It is very likely that Master Bodhi is a powerful Buddhist, and Li Ke will not take the initiative to deliver goods to his door.

Besides, given the Li Tang royal family's fear of Buddhism, Li Ke could not have entered Buddhism at all, and Li Shimin would never agree.

Although the Middle Land Buddhism in Journey to the West is not as exaggerated as the Buddhist Buddhism in the Twin Dragon World of the Tang Dynasty, it is even more impossible for the "selecting the Lord on behalf of heaven" to happen.

But the strength of the Middle Earth Buddhism is still a fear of the Li Tang royal family.

Famous temples such as Shaolin Temple, White Horse Temple, Jinshan Temple and other famous temples occupy Lingxiu Mountains and rivers. The 480 temples in the south are not just for fun.

It can be said that the Middle Land Buddhism, which had not yet been completely sinicized at this time, can definitely be regarded as a thorn in the eyes of the court.

The Taoist sect was the Li Tang royal family deliberately raised their status to suppress the momentum of Buddhism.

Not to mention anything else, the Li Tang royal family respected the ancestor of the Taoist sect, Li Er, as the ancestor of the bloodline, and his attitude towards the Taoist sect can be seen.

Therefore, Li Ke planned to join the Taoist sect early on.

Although the story of Journey to the West is full of glory, the so-called Daxing is not just a joke.

But the power of the Taoist sect is also extremely powerful. At least the Golden Immortals that Li Ke needs, and even the above-level cultivation techniques, can be provided by the Taoist sect.

But unexpectedly, the Eight Immortals on the Cave would come to the door and invite him to join the Taoist sect.

This surprise came too suddenly...

Of course, my heart was filled with tranquility and did not cause any turmoil.

"What, your third prince doesn't want to?"

Seeing that Li Ke did not reply immediately, Chun Yang Zhenren frowned and continued to ask: "Is there anything wrong?"

"I want to join the Taoist sect and achieve success in practicing Taoist sect skills!"

Li Ke said with a funny look: "It's not easy for me to enter the Taoist sect!"

After all, he was both Li Shimin's eldest son. If he suddenly entered the Taoist sect, it would definitely cause some trouble.

Not to mention Li Shimin's attitude, if Li Ke enters the Taoist sect, it means that he voluntarily withdrew from the throne inheritance sequence.

Basically everyone knows that it is difficult for anyone to practice and succeed if they sit on the throne of the emperor or become a prince with real power.

In addition, once Li Ke shrank, he immediately revealed the fourth brother Li Tai.

Li Tai is the second son of the legitimate son. If he followed the Confucian inheritance rules, his heir status would be even higher than Li Ke, the eldest son of the slander.

Moreover, this guy is very popular with Li Shimin. Once there is no buffering for Li Ke in the middle, he will definitely face his own brother Li Chengqian.

Not to mention the other person, Li Shimin was unhappy with such a situation, and he was very particular about it.

If Li Ke successfully enters the Taoist sect, he would take a step back and the vast sky would be wide.

However, it may cause the battle for the throne in the Zhenguan year to start early.

True Man Chunyang disagreed and said, "As long as the Third Highness is willing, you don't have to worry about other matters!"

Upon closer inspection, Li Ke is really born with a Taoist body and a top-level cultivation qualification.

If such a talented and beautiful jade is not discovered, it would be fine. Since the Taoist master discovered it early, he naturally cannot miss it.

Ahem, the scene where the Eight Immortals gathered in the cave was still a bit shocking.

Of course, they did not know that Li Ke, the third prince of the Li Tang royal family, was an absolute seed of cultivation.

By the way, it seems that none of the Eight Immortals in Shangdong are good at calculating the secrets of heaven.

In fact, they received the request from the leader of Zhengyi Sect Yuan Tiangang, and then took advantage of the leisure before the east trip to see what happened.

If Li Ke was as talented as Yuan Tiangang said, they would not let him go easily, and they would definitely find a way to make him enter the Taoist sect.

But if Li Ke's talent was just like that, they would not interfere easily. It all depends on Li Ke's own opinion and whether he would be transferred into the Taoist sect.

Although Yuan Tiangang is only the leader of the secular Taoist sect, he has absolutely great influence within the Taoist sect.

Once the experience of the world is over, his status within the Taoist sect will definitely not be inferior to the four great masters.

Even Emperor Taizong of Tang, who may have been in contact with the most powerful emperor, has a long history of being above the four great masters of the Taoist sect.

Otherwise, Yuan Tiangang's request would not have alarmed the Eight Immortals in the Cave.

They are all Taiqing disciples, and they can be regarded as disciples of the three generations of Taiqing, and their status and identity are quite extraordinary.

As for Yuan Tiangang, why didn’t he personally accept the prince Li Ke into the Taoist sect? At this time, the Eight Immortals on the Cave also knew the reason.

Zhengyi Sect can be considered the authentic Xuanmen, but it mainly depends on deduction and calculation.

Although he had only had simple contact and communication with Li Ke, the Eight Immortals in the Cave could see that Li Ke was an absolute martial arts fanatic.

Zhengyi is not an offensive and defensive technique without any advantages, but it is obvious that neither Yuan Tiangang nor Li Chunfeng are great masters in this field, so they naturally won’t be able to teach Li Ke easily.

It would be better to ask the Eight Immortals in the Shangdong who are good at fighting power in the Taoist Sect.

It is obvious that the Eight Immortals on the upper cave have already fallen in love with Li Ke at this time.

Li Ke naturally didn't know the twists and turns here, and even if he knew it, he wouldn't take it seriously.

As the saying goes, the man has love and the mistress has his intentions. He originally wanted to join the Taoist sect. If the Eight Immortals in Shangdong are the guides, it would be the best.

"That king, I'm waiting for good news from you!"

A gentle smile made things settle.

The Eight Immortals on the Cave also smiled satisfied and realized that this trip was not worthwhile.

However, before Li Ke could come to the cave, he was called by Li Shimin after returning to the palace.

"I heard that you met the Eight Immortals in Shangdong in a restaurant?"

How come Li Shimin's tone of speaking feels so sour?

"Yes!"

Li Ke did not deny it, and explained with a smile: "The Eight Immortals in Shangdong may have something to do. They happened to be gathering in Chang'an, and the child is lucky!"

There is no so-called confidant around him, and it is not surprising that Li Shimin can know it at the first time.

However, he thought that Li Shimin would pretend that he had never happened before, and waited for him to report the matter on his own initiative, but he couldn't wait.

It is understandable to think about it. The Eight Immortals on the Shangdong Cave are true immortals. How can one not pay attention to the emperor?

The resentful soul of a mere Jinghe Dragon King scared Li Shimin very much.

How could he miss the chance to get to know the Eight Immortals in Shangdong?

"Your kid's luck is really good!"

Li Shimin asked directly: "Tell me, what have you all said?"

"Father, the Eight Immortals in Shangdong feel that the child has a talent for cultivation, so I invite him to enter the Taoist sect to practice!"

Seeing this, Li Ke simply made it clear and said directly: "Don't be angry, the child did not agree immediately, but asked the father and the empress before making a decision!"

Li Shimin, who was originally angry, calmed down when he heard this.

He chuckled, "What do you think?"

"The child is very interested in cultivation and wants to enter the Taoist sect to practice!"

Li Ke said directly: "I just don't know the attitude of my father..."

"You have to think it through!"

Li Shimin's face became serious and said in a deep voice: "Once you join the Taoist sect, it will be basically impossible for you to become a real prince!"
