In the dead of night, it should have been a good time to sleep, but the woman in the room was awakened by a familiar voice, and then she couldn't fall asleep at all.
"well…"
The woman put on her clothes and couldn't sleep. She opened the window and looked at the moon in the sky with blurred eyes. She didn't know what she thought of and sighed.
"It's been more than eight years, and I still don't know about him..."
The woman suddenly realized something, her expression changed, and she quickly changed her words.
"...How are you doing underground?"
"I'm really confused. It's natural to be able to live freely underground without being oppressed."
The woman murmured to herself, not sure whether she was talking to herself or to whom.
However, after she finished saying this, she "lost all interest" and closed the window again in a lack of interest.
"Ah! Who are you?"
The woman just turned around and saw a young monk sitting at the table. She didn't know who he was, let alone how he got in, and she was very surprised.
Ye Yuan looked at the other party intently, with a very complicated mood.
Her face was haggard, her skin was yellow, and there was no trace of makeup on her face. She was not well maintained. She was completely different from the young and beautiful woman in her memory. She was at least ten or twenty years older.
Although Ye Yuan was not a good debater, he still couldn't help but say.
"Li Er shouldn't treat you badly. How could it become like this?"
The woman didn't answer, her eyes were calm, and she continued to ask.
"Who are you?"
Ye Yuan frowned and asked.
"Don't know me?"
The woman shook her head extremely cautiously, her thoughts surging in her heart.
Late at night, a strange young monk broke into the palace, or broke into the room of a sensitive person like her. What was his intention?
Was it Li Er's instruction, or was it?
In short, the woman knew very well that she and her five daughters could not bear the consequences of failure.
Ye Yuan looked a little weird, but he had figured it out at this time and murmured to himself involuntarily.
"It seems... the old man has made his choice, but that's right. Li Er has been the emperor for more than eight years, and everything has been decided. Whether it's for the Tang Dynasty or the Li family, he doesn't want to cause any more trouble."
The woman said she was so shocked that she couldn't even believe her ears.
Although she didn't say it clearly, she vaguely confirmed who the old man was, and also made some guesses about the young monk's identity.
Maybe... after the old man!
However, she still didn't dare to expose it, and she couldn't expose it.
After all, what if... it's a trap?
"who are you?"
Ye Yuan decided to show off his cards, said.
"The young monk's Buddhist name is Bianji, his lay name is Li Chengming..."
The woman's eyes flashed, and she couldn't help but think of her son, but she still held it back, not daring to admit it, and stopped calmly.
"You are talking nonsense. You will be dead tomorrow. You died eight years ago..."
Stubborn and shrewd!
Ye Yuan was helpless and said.
"Grandma Su took me out of the capital and returned to my hometown of Jinhua..."
The woman's eyes were a little shaken, and she began to believe it, because only she knew this.
Moreover, if all this is exposed, there will be no point in hiding it anymore.
Of course, the situation is unclear now and needs to be observed.
On the other side, Ye Yuan continued to talk.
"...A year later, the Su family's grandma died of illness. My master Daoyue was entrusted by others to introduce me to Buddhism and use the power of elixirs to change my age to eight years old."
"Entrusted by whom?"
"Wei Guogong Pei Ji, the one behind him should be the one who lives in Hongyi Palace."
The woman looked intently at the little monk's features, and they looked more and more like that little baby.
She couldn't help but get closer and look straight at it.
Finally, she touched Ye Yuan's face and asked.
"Are you really my tomorrow?"
Ye Yuan nodded and said decisively.
"Yes."
The woman looked at the familiar features and almost confirmed it.
Moreover, in her current state, she has nothing left to plot.
The woman cried and hugged Ye Yuan, saying excitedly.
"Tomorrow, my son, I will finally see you..."
Suddenly, the woman thought of something, pushed Ye Yuan away, broke down and cried.
"Ming'er, why are you so stupid? You shouldn't have broken into the palace, let alone come to see me! Go away, go away..."
The woman urged repeatedly because she didn't want anything to happen to her only living son.
Ye Yuan was moved in his heart and quickly comforted him.
"Don't worry, those people outside can't find me."
The woman pushed Ye Yuan hard and almost begged.
"Tomorrow, I beg you for my mother, please leave quickly. That person has sent very powerful people to monitor this place. If you are late, it will be too late."
He actually didn't believe in his strength.
Ye Yuan was also helpless. With a wave of his hand, the broad sleeves of his robe immediately shed pieces of light, and a film of light immediately appeared in the room.
Ye Yuan explained.
"Don't worry. I already set up a barrier when I came in. No one can find out what's going on in the house unless an immortal comes to earth."
The woman, Li Jiancheng's Crown Princess... Zheng Guanyin, although she didn't tell Ye Yuan to leave quickly, she still couldn't believe it.
Ye Yuan could only continue to explain.
"Don't worry, the ninth-level master monitoring this place is not here at all right now."
Zheng Guanyin finally felt relieved.
She sat next to Ye Yuan and looked at Ye Yuan's face carefully. The more she looked at it, the happier she became.
Not to mention that this son is handsome and unrestrained, he is so young but has a very high level of cultivation!
Wait, cultivation?
Zheng Guanyin was startled and asked hurriedly.
"Ming'er, you didn't follow the civil and military path, did you?"
Zheng Guanyin's eyes were full of hope.
Ye Yuan asked somewhat incomprehensibly.
"No, I follow the Buddhist path."
In fact, it is not Buddhism but Shintoism, but there is no need to explain it to her in detail.
Hearing this, Zheng Guanyin breathed a sigh of relief and said happily.
"Huh, that's good, that's good!"
Ye Yuan was a little confused and asked.
"Is there anything wrong with the way of civil and military affairs?"
Zheng Guanyin nodded, looked at Ye Yuan with a smile on his face, and explained.
"The cultivation of civil and military skills is extremely fast. With extraordinary talent, one can reach the sky in a few years and become a ninth-level peak master. Moreover, whether it is in terms of running a country or killing an army, it cannot be underestimated, but it has a fatal weakness."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "What is the weakness?"
"Civil and martial arts are of no use to lifespan! No matter how high their cultivation level is, their lifespan is still the same as that of ordinary people, or even worse than that of ordinary people. Once their abilities are used too much, it is not only useless, but harmful!"
I see!
No wonder those civil servants and generals are powerful but physically weak.
Ye Yuan's eyes widened and he asked curiously.
"Then why are so many people willing?"
"Because...becoming a god after death!"
Zheng Guanyin knew that Ye Yuan didn't know the inside story, so he continued to explain.
"There are also conditions for becoming a god after death. The first condition is that you must have a ninth-level peak cultivation level during your lifetime. The second condition is that you must have high enough merit to gain the support of the people. The third condition is that you must have the support of the people.
After death, there must be a seal from the emperor."
"These three conditions are indispensable."
"Also, after becoming a god, he will be bound to the dynasty. Once the dynasty dies, unless there are sacrifices from later generations of dynasties before the death of the god's body, he will die!"
Ye Yuan: Is this also a god?
Not to mention that he is an innate god, even if there are no believers, he can still survive and become stronger through cultivation.
Even those acquired gods can rely on the believers in the kingdom of God to remain immortal.
But it’s really hard to be the god of the Tang Dynasty!
Zheng Guanyin didn't know Ye Yuan's thoughts and continued to reveal the great secrets of Shinto.
"Not only that, the moment before everyone becomes a god, their true identity information will be recorded on the God List, so you are destined to be unable to follow the path of God."
Ye Yuan had a strange look on his face. He was still following the Shinto way, but it was not the Shinto way that Zheng Guanyin thought.
"I see."
Next, Zheng Guanyin asked Ye Yuan about what happened in the past few years, and Ye Yuan naturally satisfied her curiosity.
However, he has been staying at Bodhi Temple for the past eight years and doesn't have much to say.
"I came here just to ask if you would like to go out with me?"
Zheng Guanyin remained silent.
Ye Yuan continued.
"Although the treatment given by Li Er is not bad, he has no freedom after all..."
