Chapter 525: Someone needs to wake them up from their numbness; could this be the Jade Emperor's plan?
It is obviously not that easy for the Eight Immortals to return to their places smoothly.
In fact, when Fahai saw Li Chengqian's outfit, especially the iron crutch in his hand and the gourd on the iron crutch, he could not help but think of an immortal named "Tieguai Li".
In his original world, the Eight Immortals have returned to their places...and he also knows that the Tieguai Li in his world is definitely not Li Chengqian.
But right now, I really can’t say for sure.
In particular, Li Chengqian got Laojun's approval and officially became a disciple of Li Chunfeng, a human sect. In the future, it will not be difficult for him to succeed in practice and return to his rightful place.
In today's world, some things have long become specious. Aren't Bajie and Wu Jing the established candidates for Journey to the West?
Then it seems that there are some changes among the Eight Immortals that are not worth making a fuss about.
Moreover, Fahai's cultivation has already reached the top level of the Three Realms, and he has dealt with Tongtian Dao several times, so it is not impossible to understand such a thing.
Just like when I traveled west, I only needed the five masters and disciples to go to Xitianling Mountain to retrieve the scriptures back to the Tang Dynasty. As for the five people who traveled to the west, it probably didn't matter who they were.
Perhaps the same is true for the Eight Immortals in Shangdong.
Moreover, Fahai looked at Li Chengqian with Dharma eyes, and to a certain extent he could see into the other person's past life, and he also saw some clues... There are incurable diseases in every life, which are from the innate soul.
This problem is also one of the reasons why Li Chengqian's lameness is difficult to be cured by medicine, stone, or magic.
The most interesting thing is that his last name was Li in every previous life.
After receiving the advice from Master Sanzang, the emperor's uncle, Li Chengqian took the iron crutch and gourd given by the old man and officially traveled around the world... When he left Chang'an that day, Li Shimin only came to the top of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda of Daci'en Temple and watched
The eldest son left the city.
When he was completely unable to see his figure, Li Shimin let out a long sigh, and did not hide his tiredness and helplessness in front of his younger brother, "I accept Qian's departure, but I don't know if there will be a time to see him again."
Li Chengqian joined the Human Cult, and his future future is visible to the naked eye. Regardless of the fact that Li Chengqian was born in a royal family, has the imperial aura of Ziwei in his body, and is struggling to practice the immortal path, but the old man naturally dares to open his mouth and take him under his disciple, which will at least keep him.
Become an immortal, even if it is just a loose immortal.
And once you become a loose immortal and enter the immortal realm... your longevity will naturally be beyond what ordinary people like them can compare with.
But soon, all the confusion in Li Shimin's eyes dissipated, leaving only determination. He clenched his fists, looked at Master Sanzang, his disciple beside him, and said in a deep voice: "I don't want to live forever, but I want to
The things you want are difficult to achieve in this limited life... My dear brother, how unfair are you saying the way of heaven is?"
Fa Hai pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Perhaps it is precisely because of these regrets that it becomes more and more apparent that the human race's life, although short, is the most colorful among all races in the three realms."
Whose life is perfect everywhere?
It is precisely because it is full of all kinds of regrets that it highlights the unique life of each person.
"Your Highness will naturally have great blessings." Fahai comforted Li Shimin and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's Tang Dynasty will also bring prosperity to the country."
Li Shimin didn't answer. His younger brother had told him to concentrate on cultivating the power of human bloodline for a period of time in order to increase his longevity... But after this period of time, there was actually no effect.
Firstly, he is old and his body has long passed its peak; secondly, he is also busy with state affairs, so how can he have any time to practice?
Although he also thought about passing the throne to Prince Li Zhi and practicing in seclusion as the Supreme Emperor, he felt that Li Zhi was still a little immature, especially since he was pure in nature and played scheming, so he might not be the opponent of the old foxes in the court.
, so I never made up my mind to let go.
But things are different today. In addition to the former prince Li Chengqian traveling around, Wei King Li Tai also followed Jin Guangxian to Qilin Mountain today and officially started his own spiritual path.
Compared to Li Chengqian, who had been a prince, the imperial aura of Ziwei in him was much thinner.
Moreover, the positions of Emperor Li Shimin and Prince Li Zhi of the Tang Dynasty are now very stable, and the imperial aura of Ziwei is basically concentrated on them. A prince like him is just a bit of a scrap.
It's just that compared to Li Chengqian, his thoughts are more complicated... For example, after he successfully cultivates immortality, he returns to the Tang Dynasty as an immortal. Even if the immortal cannot be the emperor, he can be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Your Majesty, is it not too much to care about the government affairs?
As for the more extreme thing...he didn't dare to think about it for a while, after all, there was a Tripitaka Tathagata sitting in the Great Ci'en Temple.
My father once said that in the three realms where immortals and Buddhas are now rampant, Tripitaka Tathagata is the sea-fixing needle of our Tang Dynasty.
As for peerless ruthless men like Xue Rengui and Wang Xuance, although they have superb martial arts, their lifespan is limited after all... What if they really die and have no successors, then where will the Tang Dynasty go?
This is also one of the reasons why Li Shimin let Li Chengqian and Li Tai go out to practice. After all, while he is alive, he can ensure the good relationship between Da Ci'en Temple and Master Sanzang and the Tang Dynasty. But after he really controls Bintian,
No one can tell exactly what the situation is.
Even if Yu Di's character is trustworthy, what if Yu Di one day goes to the Chaos Xuandu City like the Great Sage?
At critical moments, you have to be able to trust your own talents.
The people Li Shimin trusted the most were his three direct sons.
The other sons do not receive such treatment at all. Do you want to practice?
I think you want to rebel.
Even among the concubines, the most favored King of Wu, Li Ke, did not receive this treatment... But because Li Chengqian and Li Tai went to court one after another, Li Ke, as the eldest prince in Chang'an now, naturally has to bear the responsibility.
As for his own responsibilities, he is currently Li Zhi's right-hand man when he supervises the country. Li Shimin was awarded the title of Kaifu Yitong Sansi, the official title was Sikong, and he was awarded the title of Prince Taishi.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! I want to use the power of the clan to fight against the noble families.
And Li Ke is also the most talented among the many princes besides Li Zhi, otherwise he would not be loved and reused by Li Shimin. Even when Li Zhi was young, Li Shimin had the idea of making Li Ke the prince.
But in the end it was nothing.
The twenty-eighth year of Zhenguan.
Li Shimin abdicated the throne, officially passed the emperor to Li Zhi, and declared himself the Supreme Emperor.
Even so, the entire Tang Dynasty knew who the real speaker of the Tang Dynasty was.
Li Zhi ascended the throne in this way. He was frightened for a moment. As a son, he naturally knew why his father would hand over the throne to him at this time...
My father wanted to achieve a great career, but he was about to reach the end of his life. He was unwilling to accept it and wanted to "change his destiny"... As a son, he naturally gave his full support.
While his father was in seclusion, he was determined to protect the Tang Dynasty for his father. When his father came out of seclusion, he would lead the Tang Dynasty to show its power throughout the Three Realms.
Southern Continent has been unified, and there is no war in Western Continent. The countries in Eastern Continent don't seem to know that Li Shimin has set his sights on them...
Before Li Shimin went into seclusion for practice, Xue Rengui, Wang Xuance and Yuan Tiangang were summoned by Li Shimin respectively. After they left the palace, they went their separate ways with clear goals.
Xue Rengui's focus was naturally on the army; Wang Xuance went to Dongzhou directly as an envoy of the Tang Dynasty. In name, he was on a mission to various countries, but in fact it was nothing more than to collect intelligence; as for Yuan Tiangang, in addition to being in the Three Realms
In addition to recruiting strange people and strangers, they also began to select children with extraordinary abilities from all over the country to join the bad guys. They started practicing from a young age and wanted to cultivate a group of monks unique to the Tang Dynasty.
As for Li Shimin's behavior, it is said that after Fahai learned about it, as the Tripitaka Tathagata who saves all sentient beings and has compassion, he should have spoken out to stop it.
But Fahai did not do this, and the reason was very simple, because in Fahai's view, the human race in Dongzhou had been enslaved by the sect for too long, and it was time to awaken to themselves.
And there is another point. Even if Li Shimin can break through the current bottleneck in just three to five years... he does not think that with the current strength of Datang, he can easily invade Dongzhou.
Li Shimin needed an idea to fight with all his strength, and the human race in Dongzhou also needed someone to wake them up from their numbness.
...
Han Zhongli finally went to the lower realm.
The task of guiding the return of the Eight Immortals was actually Tieguai Li's task originally, but the development of the world has become like this, and Han Zhongli didn't know about it, so he could only do his best to complete his duties.
Tushita Palace.
Laojun, who had taken the time to come down to earth before, has returned to heaven at some point. This big boss naturally does not have to follow the rules of heaven when he travels between heaven and earth. He did not even go through the heavenly gate when he came down to earth, so he did not stay.
What deeds.
In addition, he had been refining alchemy in Tushita Palace and did not show up at ordinary times. Therefore, except for the Jade Emperor and a few other people, they had no idea that he had been in the mortal world some time ago.
"The old Taoist has just come back, and His Majesty is here." The old man looked at the Jade Emperor in front of him, shook the fly whisk in his hand, and put all the pills on the table into his sleeves.
The Jade Emperor's hands and feet are not clean either. A few gourds of elixirs will be missing from his recipe every time.
Moreover, the Jade Emperor always likes to steal elixirs in front of him, but does not take the opportunity to get them when he is not at home... So this time, Laojun also stole the pills in front of the Jade Emperor.
Put away all the elixirs.
When the Jade Emperor saw this, he was a little surprised, and then looked around for a while, "But the monkey is here?"
"Your Majesty." The old gentleman didn't criticize him, he just said with a smile: "The Great Sage has gone to Xuandu City."
The Jade Emperor straightened his figure slightly, then stood up and walked to the shelf by the wall, reaching out to touch the elixir gourd in front of him...
"His Majesty!"
Lao Jun's hand was already on his arm, and he said helplessly: "What kind of elixir do you want? I will make it for you. Why bother?"
The Jade Emperor's face remained unchanged and he smiled and said: "I just feel that the elixir gourd in front of me has a lot of charm, and I want to play with it... but I don't know what elixir is in it?"
"It's just some ordinary wood elixirs." Laojun naturally didn't believe the Jade Emperor's lies, but he still introduced the functions of the elixirs, "Use this for people who are seriously injured and dying, and they will be rejuvenated."
It has the effect of Yuan, so it is called the Rejuvenation Pill."
It sounds the same as the "Rejuvenation Pill" used by ordinary monks in the lower world to heal wounds, but in fact it is just a difference in efficacy.
Seeing that the Jade Emperor lowered his hand, Lao Jun also let go of his own hand and asked the Jade Emperor about the business, "Your Majesty, when you come to Laodao's Tushita Palace, you don't want to see these gourds containing elixirs, right?"
Naturally, the Jade Emperor came for business. As for these elixir gourds, it was just a matter of touching them.
Seeing that Lao Jun was already on guard now, the Jade Emperor also restrained his lazy look just now, and his expression became serious, "The news from Lingshan Tathagata is that my demonic incarnation, Kuigang Fazu, seems to have obtained the power from back then.
The magic weapon used by Luo Hu."
hiss--
Hearing these words, even Lao Jun could not help but feel a little confused in his heart.
The Rahu of that year was the real Demon Ancestor.
His cultivation level is extraordinary, and the magical weapon in his hand is even more powerful. The Four Swords of Zhuxian and the Formation of Zhuxian in the hands of Tongtian, one of the Three Pure Ones, are Luo Hu's magic weapons. However, after he was defeated by Taozu, the Four Swords of Zhuxian and the Formation were lost.
It entered the hands of Taoist Ancestor Hongjun, and then gave this treasure to the Master Tongtian when he divided the treasure in Zixiao Palace.
And this Immortal-killing Sword Formation is not Luo Hu's most powerful method. His magic weapon called the God-killing Spear is even more powerful.
Rumor has it that even a saint can't resist his sharp edge, and he can even kill saints.
The World-Destroying Black Lotus of the Demon Ancestor Wutian was actually Rahu's magic weapon. However, after his death, the World-Destroying Black Lotus and the God-killing Spear disappeared...it turned out to be sealed in the Demon Realm.
Now, with the appearance of Demon Ancestor Wutian and Patriarch Qui-Gon, they are reborn.
This matter is indeed not a trivial matter, and Laojun must take it seriously. He even wants to go to Chaos and inform the real body and several other saints about this matter.
And at this moment, Laojun was a little suspicious of the Jade Emperor's intentions... Could this be the Jade Emperor's plan?
Laojun can see that the Jade Emperor is unwilling to be subordinated to others. The reason why there was a list of gods back then is inextricably related to the Jade Emperor.
If the emergence of Wutian Demon Ancestor and the World-Destroying Black Lotus was still part of the calculations of the Saints before they left the Three Realms, then this Patriarch Kuigang has obviously exceeded their previous expectations.
It just so happens that this incarnation is the Jade Emperor who was put into the demon world... As for the previous statement about losing contact with the incarnation, I am afraid that I have to question it now.
After all, apart from the Jade Emperor, no one else can know whether contact has been lost or not.
Laojun stared at the Jade Emperor's eyes, and the Jade Emperor showed no signs of dodge. After the two sides looked at each other for a few breaths, Laojun finally said: "Now we are in trouble."
The Jade Emperor also spread his hands and said: "That's why I came to ask Laojun for advice."
