Chapter 688: It is rare to enter the purple bamboo forest; the old Taoist is willing to use his body as bait
For the Queen Mother of the West, she certainly hopes that these strange beasts can get close to her from the bottom of her heart, instead of obeying her out of fear of her own power.
It was precisely because of this that when she saw those extremely ferocious beasts, when they met Taoist Cihang, they would take the initiative to approach them and stick to them, or even lie on the ground with their bellies exposed, letting Taoist Cihang play with them, and she would inevitably have some thoughts in her heart.
Some envy.
It is said that Shen Gongbao, who stirred up the situation during the Conferred God War and caused many monks in the Jie Sect to fall into trouble, also spent some time in Taoist Cihang's exotic beast farm before he transformed.
In the Jiejiao sect, there are actually many outer disciples and registered disciples who were born in the exotic beast field. Before the separation of the Sanqing family, all the exotic beasts were taken care of by Taoist Cihang. Later, the leader of the Tongtian sect moved the monastery of the Jiejiao sect.
Biyou Palace was built on Jin'ao Island in the East China Sea. Many of the exotic beasts in the exotic beast farm were not welcomed by Yuanshi Tianzun, so they were brought to Jin'ao Island together.
Some of them became outer disciples of Jie Jiao, but more of them became mounts or spiritual pets of Jie Jiao's disciples.
Some of them were on the list of gods, but the rest were basically led by Taoist Zhunti back then and transferred to the Western religion. This is one of the reasons why Yuanshi Tianzun sent Taoist Cihang to the Western religion.
If nothing else, just look at the attitude of the two great immortals Green Lion and White Elephant towards the two Bodhisattvas Manjusri and Samantabhadra, and the attitude of Jin Maohou towards Guanyin Bodhisattva. It is enough to show that Guanyin Bodhisattva has no affinity towards these strange beasts.
It can be described simply as talent.
This is why, many times, even the Buddha would ask Guanyin Bodhisattva for his opinion.
Even though he is the senior brother of Jiejiao and the Buddha of Daleiyin Temple in Lingshan, if there is a conflict with Guanyin Bodhisattva, there is no telling who these monks who have transformed into beasts will help.
Unless you stand firmly on his side, even if the two don't help each other, it will be support for Guanyin Bodhisattva...in other words, it will also be a blow to his own majesty.
For the strange beasts of the Three Realms, it is relatively easy to enter Luojia Mountain. It is rare to enter the Purple Bamboo Forest and truly get the status of being supported by a Bodhisattva.
It has to be said that when it comes to raising exotic animals, the Bodhisattva also admits that he cannot treat everyone equally.
Although she doesn't dislike those with ugly looks...but she really likes those with outstanding looks.
Why could she tolerate Ling Xuzi acting so wildly in his dojo? Wasn't it because of Ling Xuzi's naturally handsome appearance?
As the first white bat in the Three Realms, Zhang Guolao... Although his bloodline is unique to the Three Realms, it is not certain whether he will be favored by Guanyin Bodhisattva.
This was not Zhang Guolao's first time seeing Tripitaka Buddha. He had also come to Da Ci'en Temple to pay a special visit to Tripitaka Buddha before, and he also conveyed messages to Tripitaka Buddha and Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty on behalf of Patriarch Bat.
It was also this time that Zhang Guolao felt the stab in the back from the bat ancestor.
Although Tripitaka Holy Buddha and His Majesty the Tang Dynasty did not implicate him for this, Zhang Guolao still felt very sorry in his heart... He even had no face to pay homage to Tripitaka Holy Buddha and His Majesty the Tang Dynasty.
His Majesty Li Shimin.
It wasn't until the news came that the bat clan had been incorporated by Yuan Tiangang and the bat ancestor slipped through the net, Zhang Guolao's mood gradually changed... but it didn't develop in a good direction.
Instead, the feeling of self-blame and loss turned into worry.
After all, he still cares about the entire Bat Clan, and does not want the Bat Ancestor to affect Li Shimin and Tripitaka's views on the Bat Clan.
During these days, he was often in a daze, with a chill in the back of his head... He suspected that the bat ancestor who had escaped from Yuan Tiangang's hands was planning how to deal with him.
This matter is no small matter. If the Bat Ancestor is not arrested for a day, Zhang Guolao will not have a peaceful sleep for a day, and the other party has already eaten people. Knowing that it is impossible to get the recognition of Sanzang Holy Buddha, he certainly cannot be
If the Tang Dynasty accepts... then it can only be the opposite of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, if he is not arrested for one day, there will be one more hidden danger for the entire Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, when Li Shimin came to inspect the Tang Academy, Zhang Guolao told Li Shimin exactly all his concerns, and Li Shimin paid great attention to it, so he specially hosted this Taoism conference.
It seems to be to promote cultural exchanges between the Tang Academy and the Daci'en Temple, but in fact it is to take this opportunity to lure out the bat ancestor hiding in the dark, and complete the battle, thus completely solving this future trouble.
Li Shimin did not blame Yuan Tiangang for his poor performance. To be honest, he could not blame Yuan Tiangang. The two sides missed each other by mistake. When Yuan Tiangang arrived at Beiju Luzhou, the ancestor of the bat had already been killed by Qing Niu.
After Jingguai was taken away, of course Yuan Tiangang could not find the Bat Ancestor.
Yuan Tiangang didn't stay in Beiju Luzhou for too long. After settling the matters in the Bat Cave, he began to set up a base for bad guys in Beiju Luzhou.
The so-called special yamen in the Tang Dynasty were only responsible for Li Shimin. The authority of bad people was to a certain extent greater than that of the three provinces and six ministries of the imperial court... Even the ministers had no right to mobilize bad people.
In fact, let alone them, even if Li Zhi wanted to transfer bad people, he had to get Li Shimin's approval before he could get the right to transfer some of the bad people.
But usually, Li Zhi doesn't really want to mobilize bad people. Firstly, it's too troublesome... Secondly, no emperor likes his subjects who don't listen to him... Bad people are in name only, after all.
As a subordinate of the Tang Dynasty, Li Zhi, as the king of a country, was unable to mobilize bad people. Even though he was a sage king, he would still inevitably feel resentment.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Zhi’s method is to be out of sight and out of mind.
What else could happen?
You can't fight for power with your father, right?
Besides...you obviously can't compete, so why bother asking for trouble?
However, Li Zhi has not been idle. The bad guys cannot be mobilized by themselves because the emperor has not delegated power. However, the internal guards have been fully taken over by Li Zhi, and Li Zhi has also developed a group of "Plum Blossom Internal Guards" on his own.
Li Shimin did not object to this, let alone stop him... Instead, he encouraged Li Zhi. As an emperor, of course, he must have at least one armed force that is completely obedient to his orders, so that he can be prepared for any danger.
As for whether these "Plum Blossom Internal Guards" will pose a threat to Li Shimin, Li Shimin has no such worries... With Yuan Tiangang, an old scumbag, Li Shimin even doubts that these "Plum Blossom Internal Guards" developed by Li Zhi will only
Once you take off your clothes, you will reveal the attire of a bad person underneath.
Although Li Shimin did not specifically ask Yuan Tiangang for verification, this was something Yuan Tiangang could do.
In fact, in Li Shimin's view, Li Zhi's greatest advantage is not his benevolence and filial piety, but his self-awareness. He knows exactly what time and position he is at, and how he wants to accomplish things.
.And he can usually do these things well.
As long as Li Shimin is alive, Li Zhi can provide him with the most adequate logistical support; on the contrary, Li Zhi is the true successor of the Tang Dynasty. Even if he cannot lead the Tang Dynasty further, he can still defend the territory.
As for the future, Li Shimin didn't think so much anymore, but focused on the present.
After the discussion, the master who came from the Tang Dynasty Academy did not return to the Tang Dynasty Academy immediately. It was a rare trip to Da Ci'en Temple for everyone, and of course they would not simply go back. What attracted them the most was the convenience.
This is the Scripture Pavilion in Daci'en Temple. You must know that the scriptures here are not just Buddhist classics, they are simply all-encompassing...Copies of many ancient books that belong to Li Shimin can also be found here.
For masters, there is no greater attraction than these.
Of course, the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was relatively open, but in a sacred place of learning like the Tang Academy, you still have to follow some rules and regulations... For example, you still have to restrain yourself from things like "love between men and women" that are degrading to politeness.
All at once.
Now that they have finally come to Chang'an City, the ladies also want to relax, and the best place to relax is naturally to find elegance in a brothel.
Not all masters are like this. Master Bai of Changbai Mountain, who has recently joined the medical family, went to the Taiyuan Hospital to discuss medical skills with the doctors of the Taiyuan Hospital... Taoist masters are always abstinent, but they rarely have to visit.
Let’s take a look at Li Chunfeng, a true Taoist practitioner.
Li Chunfeng is now a number one figure in the entire Three Realms. The advent of the "Emperor's Cultivation Technique" can be said to have changed the situation among the human dynasties.
Perhaps the impact on the Tang Dynasty was not too great, but for the countries in Western Continent, it was undoubtedly a timely help, allowing the monarchs of Western Continent to at least have some confidence to speak.
Now among the countries in Western Continent, the country with the toughest words is none other than the Black Chicken Country.
The king of the Wuji Kingdom is indeed very talented in the "Emperor Kung Fu"... Coupled with the awakening of his own human bloodline, his strength is no longer as good as those of the heavenly generals. In time, if he
If you are able to practice the "Tianzi Kung Fu" to the state of Dzogchen... then I am afraid that the Baoxiang Kingdom and Chechi Kingdom next door may become part of the Wuji Kingdom from now on if there is no foreign aid.
Using the power of one's own blood to activate the "Tianzi Cultivation Technique" will achieve an increasing effect on both parties at the same time. This has been confirmed. Therefore, when both of them are at a very high level, the power that can be unleashed will be
, it is by no means as simple as adding the two together.
Zhang Guolao and Li Shimin did not leave the top floor of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.
Fahai looked at the two of them and asked, "I wonder if Brother Huang has anything else important to do?"
"I'll tell you the truth." Li Shimin explained to Fahai: "I need my brother's help with something."
"Amitabha." Fa Hai recited the Buddha's name and said with a smile: "Brother's business is my brother's business... Brother Huang, if you have anything to do, just say it. As long as I can do it, I will do my best."
.”
Of course Li Shimin knew Fahai's temperament, and Fahai also knew Li Shimin's temperament clearly.
Fahai knew that Li Shimin would never trouble him with things that he knew he would not do at a glance. Otherwise, sometimes, Fahai would not only not help Li Shimin, but would even try to undermine him, which would be completely counterproductive.
.
As for such a phenomenon, Li Shimin has no place to reason... After all, once such a problem arises, it is basically Li Shimin who has committed a problem of principle himself. Under such circumstances, Li Shimin can't wait to avoid Sanzang Buddha.
, how could he take the initiative to seek help from Tripitaka Buddha?
On the contrary, for Li Shimin, as long as what he said to Yu Di did not touch his principles, then Yu Di would definitely not refuse, and once Yu Di agreed, he would basically be able to sit back and relax.
Li Shimin and Fa Hai's harmonious singing was actually giving Zhang Guolao a piece of reassurance. If the parties involved did not have much confidence, then even if Li Shimin and Fa Hai wanted to help, they might not be able to do their best.
In short, after Zhang Guolao heard the conversation between Li Shimin and Tripitaka Buddha, his original worried mood disappeared inadvertently.
And this... Li Shimin hasn't even explained clearly to Tripitaka what exactly is going on.
"My brother, do you still remember the bat ancestor?" Li Shimin asked his brother.
"Of course I remember." Fahai nodded. Fahai might not be able to remember ordinary monsters clearly, but this bat ancestor who had eaten people was obviously on Master Tripitaka's list of salvation.
Li Shimin observed that Zhang Guolao's expression became increasingly calm. After he raised his head, he directly handed over the conversation to Zhang Guolao, "Zhang Qing, you should tell the specific matter to your younger brother personally."
"Yes." Although this was not the first time he saw the Holy Buddha Tripitaka, Zhang Guolao was still very nervous at the moment. He first bowed respectfully to Master Tripitaka and calmed down his mind a little before he realized what he was doing.
He just bowed and bowed, but forgot to say anything, and hurriedly said to Sanzang Holy Buddha: "Old Taoist Zhang Guo pays homage to Holy Buddha."
"Taoist Master, you don't need to be polite."
Fahai stretched out his hand and used his magic power to lift Zhang Guolao's body, which was about to bend down.
Zhang Guolao knew that Holy Buddha Tripitaka did not like these instant noodle etiquette, so he went directly to the topic and told Holy Buddha Tripitaka about his troubles. Then he expressed his worries about the bat ancestor hiding in the dark and hoped that Tripitaka
The Holy Buddha can take action to save the bat ancestor.
The magical powers of the Bat Ancestor are really weird, especially his sneaking magical power. Even the roaring dog and the six-eared macaque have a hard time finding traces of him. Even the roaring dog and the six-eared macaque are hard to find.
The characters also illustrate the difficulty of this matter.
Therefore, Zhang Guolao came to offer his advice, "Holy Buddha, the old Taoist is willing to use his body as bait to catch the bat ancestor... I only hope that the holy Buddha can protect the old Taoist's life before he surrenders the bat ancestor."
