Chapter 726: Although the routine is old, it always works; if you give me a peach, I will repay you with a penny.
Of course, Li Shimin knew that the people following Sanzang Saint Buddha, his imperial disciple, were Baize and Kui Niu. As for how to distinguish the two, it was also very simple.
The old man with the goat's horns was Baize, and the strong man with the horns was naturally Kui Niu... But in order to show that he valued the two of them, Li Shimin still asked them for their names in person.
As for the one who was tied up by Bai Ze and Kui Niu, he was naturally the original target of Sanzang Saint Buddha, the Patriarch of the Bat.
When Bai Ze and Kui Niu saw Li Shimin asking for their names and with kind expressions, they didn't mean to embarrass them or accuse them... This also made Kui Niu breathe a huge sigh of relief.
That is to say, Kui Niu is dull on the surface and would not show his emotions on his face. Otherwise, if Bai Zecai really laughs at him for not living up to expectations... He is also a saint's mount after all, so how can he have such a bad character... If it is said that in Sanzang
It is understandable that he would be submissive in front of the Holy Buddha. After all, his master, Master Tongtian, is outside the Three Realms. The Tripitaka Holy Buddha is the real top figure in the Three Realms... In the Three Realms, as long as he is not an ignorant person, he will
There is no monster that does not scare Tripitaka Buddha.
Even if those demons never eat humans, they will subconsciously be afraid of Tripitaka Buddha when they see him.
As for those monsters who have always done evil, let alone seeing Tripitaka Buddha in person, even when they see the four words "Tripitaka Holy Buddha", they will become timid and stop moving forward.
In fact, the eldest brother does not talk about the second brother.
Now that Bai Ze has figured out the nature of Holy Buddha Tripitaka, and knows that Holy Buddha Tripitaka's attitude towards the demon clan is not just after killing them all... he feels a lot more at ease.
Otherwise... when Li Shimin and Li Chunfeng were practicing in Beizhou, and when Sanzang Saint Buddha and Erlang Zhenjun were sweeping away the demons, Bai Ze wouldn't have run away early... Wasn't he afraid of being affected?
Facts have also proved that Bai Ze’s choice back then was not wrong.
Then Li Shimin and Li Chunfeng were also evil... The hiding places he prepared in advance could always be discovered by the two of them. If he hadn't left first every time and deliberately avoided them, he would have been in Beiju.
They bumped into Li Shimin and Li Chunfeng in Luzhou.
But now it seems that...it is appropriate for him to join the Tang Dynasty. Doesn't this just prove his fate with the Tang Dynasty and Li Shimin?
Moreover, even though he was traveling in the Tang Dynasty during these days... he still very much recognized Li Shimin's ability as emperor, and he was worthy of his service. This could be regarded as fulfilling the promise he made in front of Emperor Xuanyuan.
Everyone entered the palace hall, and Li Shimin invited them to sit down, and then asked Xue Rengui to take the Bat Ancestor into prison first, and then gave the order to start the banquet.
When Bai Ze saw it, in addition to the vegetarian meal prepared for Tripitaka Buddha, the delicacies they had here were also full of color, flavor and flavor. He could tell at a glance that this was a specially prepared banquet.
Bai Ze wanted to say something else and express his position...but the sound of chewing could already be heard from next door.
He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that Kui Niu was already feasting, and he felt a little helpless... My good brother, you are also a saint's mount after all, so you should pay attention to your image... What does your eating appearance have to do with those mountain monsters?
the difference?
For those who don’t know... they also say that the teacher is depriving you of food so that you don’t have enough to eat.
In fact, the food on their two tables is still different. It seems that the food here in Bai Ze is more exquisite, especially in the presentation. Even from Bai Ze's perspective, the dishes in front of him are very delicate.
, more like works of art...some are even so beautiful that people don’t want to take off their chopsticks to destroy their integrity.
But Kui Niu next door is different. They are basically hard dishes with large portions and fillings... Kui Niu is also not very meaty and vegetarian, and it is very enjoyable to eat... Perhaps to avoid the identity of Kui Niu, it did not appear at the banquet.
Beef is mostly based on mutton, chicken, duck, fish and other river seafood.
Perhaps Kui Niu heard Bai Ze's thoughts. After he swallowed the food in his mouth, he raised his glass to the leader Li Shimin and said, "Old Niu, I haven't eaten like this in thousands of years."
Already..."
For thousands of years?
How many years has passed since the Conferred God War?
When Bai Ze heard this, he thought for a moment: Could it be that Kui Niu really didn't have enough to eat on Jin'ao Island?
The next moment, Bai Ze also wanted to understand.
What are the cultivation levels of the monks on Jin'ao Island?
All of them eat wind and drink dew, and live without food...Although Kui Niu's cultivation is enough to support him not eating, there is still some difference between being unable to eat and being able not to eat.
Even though they are both mounts of saints, the difference in treatment between Kui Niu and Qing Niu is actually huge.
Kui Niu has always been free-range on Jin'ao Island... In the past, when the Sanqing Dynasty was not separated, everyone was in the Kunlun Mountains at that time. Taoist Cihang, who had not yet gone to the West to become a monk, would feed and take care of them from time to time.
Spiritual beast... But ever since the separation of the Sanqing family, Kuiniu followed Tongtian Cult Leader to Jin'ao Island, and has lived a life of poverty ever since.
Jie Jiao, who has a great family and a great business, claims to be the king of thousands of immortals...but how many of them can really take Kui Niu seriously?
In contrast, although Qingniu at Laojun's place can't have a "big meal"... but he has almost constantly "wasted elixirs", and his body's elixir power has accumulated. Until now, he may not have been able to actually refine it.
Two out of ten.
To be honest... even Li Shimin and Sanzang Saint Buddha did not expect such a "change"... Who would have known that this Kui Niu was actually a "foodie".
However, Li Shimin not only was not worried about this, but instead smiled and said to Kui Niu: "You can eat as much as you want today. You have enough food and wine."
"Then I won't be polite." Kui Niu also thought about it now. Since he has come to the Tang Dynasty, and the Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty also wants to recruit him, he might as well just take advantage of the situation... Anyway, Bai Ze also wanted to do it at the beginning.
The only person who wanted to take him to join the Tang Dynasty was because he was afraid of the Great Sun Buddha Flame of Sanzang Saint Buddha at the beginning, so he was timid and never dared to agree... For this reason, Bai Ze also customized a plan for himself
The luck of the Eight Immortals, join the retreat of heaven.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But unexpectedly, due to a strange combination of circumstances, Sanzang Saint Buddha was caught in the act. After coming to Chang'an this time... he was also attacked by Li Shimin.
Such preferential treatment made Kui Niu feel a little embarrassed for a while.
In fact, after this contact, Li Shimin's sense of Kui Niu has skyrocketed... Even though the other party is a saint's mount that has lived for tens of thousands of years, he still has such a simple temper... If the other party can join the Tang Dynasty...
If so, the improvement of Datang's hard power will definitely be visible to the naked eye.
Bai Ze's surrender will give Datang's comprehensive national strength a qualitative leap.
These can all be predicted in advance.
Li Shimin's attitude towards Bai Ze and Kui Niu was also what Fa Hai had expected... The reason why he suppressed them with Buddha's power at Bagong Mountain was to play a bad role.
He put pressure on him, and Li Shimin used some soft tactics... After both parties cooperated with each other, even Bai Ze couldn't help but sigh. Although this method is old, it still works.
Apart from anything else, Kui Niu is quite convinced of Li Shimin at the moment anyway... I think Kui Niu will be very happy to serve Li Shimin if he doesn't do anything detrimental to Ji Jiao.
only...
When Bai Ze thought about today's scene, if word spread, I'm afraid there would be rumors like this in the Three Realms: Have you heard that Bai Ze, the demon commander of the ancient heaven, and Kui Niu, the mount of the Jiejiao Saint, were killed by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty with a sword?
Bought it in one meal!
Thinking of this, Bai Ze looked at the dishes on his table and no longer hesitated - delicious!
Simply delicious!
No--
Perhaps the person who can make such delicious dishes is Zen Master Wu Neng, the God of Cookery in Heaven and the second disciple of Master Tripitaka!
Li Shimin sat at the top, looking at each other with Bai Ze, as if to say: You are right, today's banquet was created by Zen Master Wu Neng.
Of course, not all dishes are cooked by Zen Master Wu Neng himself. For example, many of the hard dishes in front of Kui Niu over there are just made by Zen Master Wu Neng under the guidance of the royal chef in the palace... They are really made by Zen Master Wu Neng.
, and basically all in front of Bai Ze.
Amitabha.
Fa Hai has long known that these dishes are from Bajie's handiwork. Of course, he, as the master, is the most familiar with Bajie's craftsmanship... He doesn't even need to eat it in his mouth, he just takes a look and smells it.
Can distinguish.
Bajie previously traveled in the Three Realms, defeated the Tianchi witches in Changbai Mountain, and then protected the reincarnation formation in Changbai Mountain... Not long ago, he went to Liangshan to assist Fei Changfang in defeating the evil spirits in Liangshan, but because Liangshan was written by Bai Ze,
The large formation was too dangerous, and in fact Bajie did not play any substantial role in breaking the formation.
Instead, he followed Li Chunfeng and learned a lot about how to set up formations... This would help him perfect the reincarnation formation in his own body, and help more souls whose souls were trapped in the body and unable to reincarnate to be saved.
.
After the incident in Liangshan was over, Bajie was responsible for part of the escort mission. After all, the strength of the demons in Liangshan was actually considered a very strong force in the demon world.
Even in the Tang Dynasty, Li Chunfeng, San Shengsheng, Zen Master Wuneng and others were attracted to finally break Liangshan.
Although they are blessed by a large formation, they cannot deny the cultivation level of the Liangshan group of demons themselves. Moreover, they took down Liangshan so easily because the Liangshan group of demons did not resist too stubbornly... Otherwise, in the battle between soldiers,
When facing generals, the Tang army would inevitably suffer casualties.
Moreover...Kui Niu and Bai Ze were never in Liangshan and never took action.
Based on Li Chunfeng's estimation, if Bai Ze personally presided over the formation, even with the presence of the Three Holy Mothers, it would never be that easy to defeat Liangshan.
The demons in Liangshan were held separately in the Xuanjia Cavalry Camp. Firstly, the Tang Dynasty had never captured so many demons, and the prison of the Ministry of Punishment could not hold so many demons. Secondly,
, after all, he is a demon, and if he is not kept under constant supervision by the Black Armor Cavalry, I am afraid that everyone will not feel at ease.
But in fact... the people of Chang'an are now very confident in the national power of the Tang Dynasty.
Even after hearing that many demons were imprisoned in the Xuanjia Cavalry camp, they all wanted to get closer and have a look.
You must know that the camp where Xuanjia Cavalry is stationed is normally closely guarded and no idlers are allowed to approach. Now it is also responsible for guarding demons... and it will not let the common people get close.
Not to mention the common people, even the ministers in the court, if they want to enter the Xuanjia Cavalry camp, they must hold military orders... Otherwise, it will be difficult for anyone to do so.
The banquet is over.
Not only Kui Niu is reluctant to leave, but even Bai Ze has some unfinished thoughts... It has to be said that Zen Master Wu Neng's cooking skills are close to the Tao... If such skills are placed on a mortal, it is enough to pass the master's degree.
god.
In fact, for mortals, there are still many ways to become gods, but only few of them can be achieved.
Generally speaking, as long as you hone your professional skills to the peak, even if you cannot become an immortal during your lifetime, you will be accepted by the heaven to become a god after your death. This is the case for Lu Ban and the medical immortals in heaven.
Sanzang Holy Buddha did not stay in the palace for a long time. His mission was to bring Bai Ze and Kui Niu to Li Shimin... As for whether he could make them completely return to the Tang Dynasty, that was what Li Shimin had to worry about.
However, the banquet given by Bajie today had a miraculous effect... Regardless of whether it won their hearts or not, it was considered a "bribery" to win their hearts.
But there is another problem that comes with it, that is, Bajie cannot stay in Chang'an forever... let alone cook for the two of them every day. If they stay because of Bajie's food, then it is estimated that
Can't stay long either.
Of course, Bai Ze and Kui Niu are not such superficial people, otherwise they would not have come to the Tang Dynasty with Sanzang Buddha... Bajie's dish is undoubtedly an unexpected surprise, but it also shows that Li Shimin has a deep love for the two brothers.
Attitude.
Give him a peach and give him a plum in return.
Since Bai Ze and Kui Niu have decided to join the Tang Dynasty, and with Li Shimin's courtesy, of course there will be no recurrence.
After all, in today's Three Realms, it is not easy to find a real foothold.
It seems that before, Bai Ze was in Beizhou and Kui Niu was in Liangshan. They could only be regarded as hiding places. They didn't even dare to release their names. How could they be considered as a foothold?
But it is different now in Datang. Li Shimin has made it clear his attitude towards recruiting them, and both of them have given a response that they are determined to accept the recruitment... Since both parties are in love, of course there will not be so much follow-up.
troubles.
As for Li Shimin's intention to announce the news to the three worlds, Bai Ze and Kui Niu also agreed.
As expected, once the news spread, it caused an uproar in the Three Realms... If it was just a Kuiniu, it would actually be nothing. After all, Li Bai, the direct disciple of Wudang Holy Mother, the Acting Head of Jiejiao, had returned to the Tang Dynasty.
Although he did not officially enter the court, he was already serving the Tang Dynasty.
It is not surprising that Kui Niu accepted Datang's recruitment.
What really aroused the vigilance of all sentient beings in the three realms was Bai Ze, one of the top ten demon commanders in the ancient heaven.
After all, with Bai Ze's magical power, it is difficult not to arouse the fear of others, especially those forces that have conflicts with the Tang Dynasty and are ready to take action.
