Chapter 594 No matter inside or outside, tell Chang'an two hundred miles
Ancient Buddha with green lantern, smoke curling up.
The old monk in cassocks raised his eyelids and sighed as he listened to the report from the young novice in front of him.
"Although there are a few experts gathered in the small sect, they don't have enough background after all. Among the large sects, only Zhongnanshan and Louguan Tao are willing to come. Or they have their own thoughts and want to take advantage of our ascetics; the other sects
They are unwilling to come forward, and they also have their own plans. They are unwilling to let Buddhism stand out. As for Taihua Mountain, since Fuyao Zhenren, a land god, is sitting there, Nan Mingzi is not willing to get involved in the fight, so he stays behind closed doors.
normal."
Seeing this, the young novice whispered: "Master has already predicted it, why did he send out the invitation?"
The old monk glanced at him and said with a helpless smile: "Because the enemy is facing us, there is no way to retreat. Even the straw must be grasped. It is an unexpected joy that two large sects can respond now. Do it."
Get ready, there are not many people coming, and the prepared fast food will naturally not be used up. In addition, take out the few magical weapons."
The little novice monk listened, but he was a little reluctant.
The old monk smiled and said: "Go ahead, those magical artifacts are just for this purpose. We invite each family over, and we don't want to argue with them. The real purpose is actually that person. The only way is to bring that person over."
If a person restrains himself and comes in, then there will be peace below. Otherwise, the world will be in chaos only because of his thoughts. How can anyone live in peace and quiet?"
"Compared with forty years ago, Chang'an City seems to have not changed much."
Walking on Zhuque Avenue, Chen Cuo looked around, strolling leisurely, and compared the city of Chang'an in his memory. He didn't seem to be eager for a quick victory at all.
In fact, he was planning his next course of action.
"There are many ways to find Yu Ji's descendants, but if you want to improve efficiency and avoid missing out, you still have to know his whereabouts first. I remember from my past life that Yu Ji's nephew, Yu Shinan, was a famous figure in the early Tang Dynasty.
He may still be ranked above Lingyan Pavilion, so he must have defected to Li Tang in the end. Just looking at Li Tang's momentum to dominate the world, the day when Yu Shinan returns to Tang Dynasty should not be far away. From the Tang Dynasty court, maybe he will
I can get the news."
But thinking of this, he suddenly became indifferent.
"But, are the memories of past lives really reliable? After all, even my name..."
In the bottom of his heart, the Taoist in his heart suddenly blurred for a moment, and then the spiritual light that filled his soul began to waver, and the light and darkness were uncertain!
Immediately, Chen Cuo came back to his senses, and with a turn of his sword, he cut off the distracting thoughts in his heart and chopped them into pieces!
"After all, it has been affected, involved in the Taoist heart, and formed a knot in the heart. If this knot cannot be relieved, the path of spiritual practice in the future may not be easy, and even if the situation is allowed to develop, the Taoist heart will be shaken."
Thinking like this, Chen Cuo shook his head and chuckled.
"However, no matter whether the name is true or false, whether the memory is false or real, what I have done in this life is not false, and the path I am seeking is not false at all. Now I just want to verify this matter. Then, no matter what happened in the past, I will not
Change your ambition to seek the path.”
As soon as he thought, a huge and peaceful spiritual consciousness surged out of his body and turned into gusts of breeze, flying in all directions!
In the blink of an eye, the distribution of many forces and personnel movements in the entire Chang'an City appeared in Chen Cuo's mind.
"Oh? There are many monks gathered here, including many acquaintances from the past. However, compared with forty years ago, there are still some changes. However, they suddenly gathered here, which is different from the situation when Emperor Wu of Zhou invited Buddhism and Taoism all over the place.
It’s somewhat similar.”
Shaking his head, Chen Cuo had no intention of getting involved and wasting time. His spiritual consciousness sweep was mainly to search for his senior brother.
At this moment, the target has been found, so naturally there will be no further delay. As soon as the thought changes, the person has disappeared from where he was.
After he left, a lot of spiritual consciousness spread over cautiously. After a slight exploration, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and then dispersed.
Chen Cuo did not deliberately hide his traces when his spiritual consciousness swept across. Such movements would naturally be captured by many interested people.
"How domineering! Unscrupulous!"
In a private courtyard in the north of the city, Du Lianzi, wearing a Taoist robe, gathered his spiritual consciousness and couldn't help but sigh.
Opposite me, a junior sister who was also wearing a Taoist robe and had long black hair said angrily, "He, Mr. Chen, is relying on his cultivation and doesn't care about others at all! Our Kunlun Mountains have not yet declined.
What!" After the words fell, she changed the topic again, "But this is not necessarily a bad thing. A arrogant soldier will always be defeated. He is so arrogant and thinks that he has no scruples. Instead, he easily underestimates the enemy, and maybe he will capsize in the gutter."
"Don't be so lucky." Du Lianzi glanced at her and said meaningfully: "Chen's ability to survive in a situation like that decades ago and still be successful in cultivation shows that it is not possible to lurk
Decades of walking in the world show your determination, so how could you be confused by temporary confusion? It should be noted that when people like Dian Yunzi and Senior Brother Qing Xiangzi were mentioned, they all felt ashamed when mentioning the Chen family, so that they went into seclusion.
In order to achieve a breakthrough, otherwise how can you and I get ahead? Could it be that they don't even have the same vision as you?"
Qianxi asked: "But how to explain his behavior just now?"
"Nothing else, just to scare us!" Du Lianzi's face turned gloomy, "He just wants to tell people all over the city that the Chen family has arrived in Chang'an, so that we can put our minds aside and stop doing this.
It’s a small move.”
Qianxi's expression changed when he heard this, and then he said: "As for the previous discussions with several other people..."
"What we did is not a small trick!" Du Lianzi said, stood up and said seriously: "Junior sister, when facing such a person, the most taboo is to use conspiracies and tricks. It is better to follow the rules and lay out the matter clearly.
, as long as we can restrain him, even if we suffer a little loss, it doesn't matter. Agreements in this world are always made through compromise."
With that said, he began to walk outside.
Qianxi saw this and asked, "Where are you going, senior brother?"
Du Lianzi said calmly: "Didn't the Buddhist family just send someone to deliver the invitation? I just happened to go over and have a look to see what the distinguished monk Fa Lin has to say."
Qianxi said in confusion: "But didn't you just say that Buddhism and Taoism are competing for one breath? If you go after receiving the invitation, the Buddhist will undoubtedly take the initiative. Then you will compete with him..."
"At this moment, at that moment, it is not about who is first and who is last, but who is in front to face Chen!" Du Lianzi showed a smile, "I guess the old monk did not expect that Chen would come so early.
Arrived in Chang'an, right? After all, the information given by various spies were still describing the changes in the north. They even speculated that the Turks' southward movement would be related to the Chen family, distracting their energy and delaying their time.
!”
Saying this, his originally heavy mood actually relaxed a lot.
This unlucky thing really requires other people to take the lead in order to have clear ideas.
Qian Xi, who was following behind, saw the indifferent smile on his senior brother's face and couldn't help but relax, feeling that his senior brother was really confident.
at the same time.
"Grandmaster, how come all of a sudden, those sects that refused before suddenly sent people to inform them that they would attend the meeting on time?"
The little novice monk who hurried over wiped the sweat from his forehead due to his hurried arrival and said slightly anxiously.
"well……"
The old monk sighed quietly and said with a wry smile: "Human calculations are not as good as heaven's calculations. Fa Ming, prepare quickly to welcome people from various sects. Don't neglect them."
"But..." the little novice monk touched his bald head, "Master said earlier that there wouldn't be too many people coming, so the kitchen didn't prepare too much food. If everyone came, the food in our temple would probably be too high.
It’s not enough.”
"..."
The old monk was stunned when he heard the words, and suddenly shook his head and laughed: "Yes, there are more people and less food, so there will inevitably be some disputes, whatever..." He waved his hand and reached out to grab an ear of wheat from the void, "Go and bring this
The species is in the backyard. After waiting for a cup of tea, I ordered the fireman Tutuo in the kitchen to harvest the food."
"Disciple, I obey." The little novice monk turned around and left with a curious look on his face.
"Junior brother came so quickly, I'm afraid no one in the city will be safe today."
In the old house of the Li family, Nan Mingzi was sitting on the corridor. He looked at Chen Cuo who suddenly appeared in front of him, and was slightly surprised. Then he smiled and said: "You may not know that the famous monk Fa Lin in Chang'an has already been given to everyone.
My family sent invitations to invite them to participate in the Dharma ceremony. I am afraid that Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is intended for Pei Gong."
"I noticed it when I came here." Chen Cuo shook his head, "But what these people are planning is nothing more than the name of a family, and they want to cling to the Li Tang Dynasty, so it is easy to guess what they have planned.
When it comes, even if you don’t deal with it deliberately, just wait, sooner or later it will come to your door, and then you can kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.”
"From what you say, do you mean you don't care about Li Tang's state religion?" Nan Mingzi said, sighing softly, "That's right, how often did we cultivators pay attention to the secular dynasty? But now the situation is different. The dynasty
Unify, occupy China, the emperor ascends the throne, controls luck, can even dethrone gods, and can even interfere with the sect's luck! Although the theory of luck is illusory, you should be very clear about the rise and fall of the current situation.
An eye-catching thing, after continuous development, magnification, and impact on the whole body, may affect the survival of a sect in a few years or more than ten years!"
"Yes, our Yunxiao Sect has a deep understanding of this." Chen Cuo nodded and said without hesitation, "According to the original trajectory, Taihua Mountain should have declined, but because of Yang Jian's surprised look back then, he was in awe. That's it.
A little thought gave birth to the prosperity of Shanmen today."
"But times have changed, and as soon as a new dynasty is established, the respect in the past may become a reminder," Nan Mingzi said calmly: "Although I have the blood of the Li family, I am not close to the Li Hu family. The most I can do is maintain the current situation.
, but the foundation of Taihua Mountain is too shallow, and it is on the way up. If it does not advance, it will retreat! Even though Li Tang did not have the ability to destroy Taihua Sect with the status of a mortal dynasty, as long as it starts, the trend of decline will continue.
Absolutely!"
Chen Cuo glanced at his senior brother in surprise.
Nan Mingzi understood what he meant and said with a smile: "It's no surprise that since my junior brother is a sage who established the Tao, how can he be indifferent to the law of rise and fall? In the past few decades, I have often done research and gained some experience. In the future, I will
I also want to ask your junior brother, Haosheng, for advice."
"I see. No wonder senior brother would put aside his affairs at home and come here. The so-called Turkic threat will not prompt you to set foot in Chang'an at all. In this case, I will help you so that the mountain gate can be stable for another fifty years.
." As he spoke, he turned around and left.
"Where are you going, junior brother?" Nan Mingzi called him, "Junior brother has just arrived and is not yet clear about the situation. Why don't I explain it clearly to you first so that you can know which sects are coming to this city?
Door."
"Whether it is Buddha or Tao, whether it is a new or old sect, it is actually not the key. Even if they talk about Tao and say a flower, it is nothing more than trivial details, dancing on a stage set by others, and being manipulated by others.
I am complacent. Since I want to take action, I naturally have to put aside the tedious details and go straight to the source." Chen Cuo stopped and shook his head.
Nan Mingzi's expression changed slightly and he said, "Where is the source that junior brother mentioned?"
Chen Cuo did not answer, but looked towards the palace.
"Now that I have arrived, I should tell you here."
in the palace,
"The three of us, father and son, have not sat together and talked like today."
In the Chinese Palace of the Palace, Li Yuan, who had gray temples but rosy complexion, looked at the two sons sitting at the foot of the steps and said lightly: "I heard that a few days ago, you two brothers had a big fight in Taihua Mountain. Is it possible?
This matter?"
Under the steps, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin sat side by side, both with their heads held high and their backs straight, each with a heroic air.
At this time, after hearing Li Yuan's inquiry, Li Jiancheng said: "Father, Taihua Mountain has a close relationship with our Li family. The master of Taoist Nanming is also my ancestor. I have always respected and worshiped him endlessly. As a result, that day,
The second brother came to the house to make a fuss for no reason, which offended all the princes of Taihua, and the years of hard work of my sons and ministers were almost ruined!"
Li Shimin narrowed his eyes and didn't say much.
On the contrary, Li Yuan shook his head and said with a disappointed face: "To see a sect in a mountain so close is really putting the cart before the horse!"
