Xuanzang looked at the Emperor Luanyu in the distance and couldn't help but frown.
Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty is here.
For Xuanzang, his arrival was bound to be a bad thing.
Then he heard the monk who came to report that the upright Taoist Li Yu was also here.
Xuanzang's brows furrowed even more.
As long as these two sworn brothers of his are coming to him, it will definitely not be a good thing.
Xuanzang resisted the urge to avoid.
Because he walks easily, but he can outrun the monks but not the temple.
Li Yu excitedly followed a large group of people to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda of Ci'en Temple.
Ever since he learned that the eye-pecking crow was released by Xuanzang, Li Yu was holding his breath and wanted to take revenge.
Now the opportunity has finally come. Didn't you Xuanzang be able to fight? Didn't you unify Buddhism? Didn't you recreate Bodhi in all directions...
You are so powerful, go and have a try with Temujin.
The heroes of the Tang Dynasty and the Buddhists from the Central Plains went to defeat Temujin. Thinking about this scene makes people's scalp numb.
While Li Yu was gloating about his misfortune, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda arrived.
He stopped, coughed slightly, and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, please see, this Buddhist atmosphere is indeed extraordinary. I think as long as they participate in the war, Temujin's Mongolian cavalry will be tantamount to selling out.
Chickens and dogs.”
Li Shimin was also a bad guy, and said with a smile: "I think so too. Zen Master Xuanzang is an unparalleled genius in Buddhism, and now he has made great achievements in rebuilding Buddhism. When he defeats the Mongols, he will be a true Buddha
Lord, I am willing to canonize him as the only Buddha in Buddhism."
"Your Majesty is really discerning."
"The Taoist priest is also willing to give in too much."
"Hahahahaha."
Amid the laughter of the two people, many monks watched them arrive at the foot of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and then the first-floor pagoda door slowly opened.
Xuanzang personally came down to greet him. He pronounced the Buddha's name, bent down and said, "Your Majesty."
"Why are you so polite, my brother?" Li Shimin stepped forward with a smile, held his hand, and said, "We are all brothers!"
Xuanzang stretched out his hand and said: "Your Majesty, please!"
After Li Shimin entered, Xuanzang looked at Li Yu and said with a smile: "My dear brother, please."
"You're welcome."
Li Yu said he was polite, but he squeezed in immediately.
This time they did not climb the tower and sat down directly on the first floor. The hall was very spacious and there was still a huge statue of Sakyamuni Buddha on it.
The three of them sat on the futon. Li Shimin waved his hand, and the eagle dog standing behind him stepped forward and unfolded a map.
"The Mongolian army and the privet army, under the instigation of the Heavenly Court, have moved south to attack the Song Dynasty at the same time. The Tang Dynasty is determined to send troops to help the Song Dynasty block the Mongolian soldiers and horses, but there are many gods among them to help."
Xuanzang secretly yelled, "What's supposed to come has come."
Li Shimin said: "So we thought about it, the only one who can stop these gods is you, Yudi."
Xuanzang knew that he could not refuse, so instead of struggling needlessly, he might as well accept it calmly. At least he could gain a good reputation and leave some dignity to Buddhism.
"The poor monk is willing to lead the Buddhist disciples to fight for the Central Plains."
After Xuanzang finished speaking, many eminent monks in the hall were not frustrated or afraid, and even felt that it was natural.
Not all monks are greedy for life and afraid of death.
Many eminent monks from the Central Plains are willing to fight for the Central Plains, especially most of these eminent monks who have experienced the decisive battle of Baoxiang Kingdom.
They already had resentment toward Heaven, but they just suppressed it.
Now that I have found an outlet, I am afraid it will explode on the battlefield.
Xuanzang asked: "Which general led the army in battle?"
"Li Ji."
Hearing this name, Xuanzang's face brightened slightly and he nodded slightly.
It would still be reassuring if Li Ji led the troops.
The Mongols believed in the Immortality of Heaven, and they never expected that they would surrender at the feet of Heaven and serve as the vanguard of the attack on the Central Plains.
It seems that the Heavenly Court wants to completely eradicate the great dynasties of the Central Plains.
Xuanzang secretly shook his head. This idea was good, but they might have underestimated the strength of the Six Dynasties.
At that time, the great sage Zhang Jiao fought tooth and nail to break down the agricultural barriers and created this group of heroes who were in their prime.
If they really unite together, they will burst out with amazing fighting power.
This force is bound to be earth-shaking.
Li Yu didn't expect things to go so smoothly. As expected, the emperor was a good man. He always had face wherever he went, and others didn't dare to refuse easily.
If I had to persuade Xuanzang to join the war, I would probably spend ten and a half days trying to convince him, but I still wouldn't be able to convince him.
Regardless of Xuanzang's five and six people, it seems that he is the most compassionate and has the greatest Buddha nature in the world. In fact, this monk is not a good person. Li Yu has long seen it clearly. He is very ambitious, but he does not know what his ultimate goal is. .
However, after all these twists and turns, he was the one who benefited the most from the infighting within Buddhism. He unified Buddhism in the Central Plains, Tibetan Esoteric Buddhism was exterminated, and the Tianzhu Buddhist temple was pushed down by Shu soldiers. This is the only Buddhism in the world.
If Xuanzang didn't have his own Xiao Jiujiu and didn't work hard on his own, Li Yu wouldn't believe it.
At this time, a monk standing behind Xuanzang suddenly said: "I have seen Temujin before, and he is indeed a very dangerous person."
The monk who spoke was middle-aged, with dark complexion and very bright eyes. He seemed to be full of endless energy. It was obvious that he was an eminent monk.
Xuanzang quickly introduced him: "This is Master Zanning."
Li Yu happened to have heard of the name of Master Zanning, because he was an eminent monk in the Song Dynasty. No wonder he couldn't be found in the statistics at that time, and it turned out that he came to seek refuge with Xuanzang.
It must be said that Xuanzang's appeal is indeed strong, and he is a unique existence in Central Plains Buddhism.
Li Shimin said: "When did Master see this Temujin?"
The most important thing in fighting a war is intelligence. As the emperor who is best at fighting, Li Shimin certainly knows this.
As soon as he heard that monk Zanning had met Temujin, he immediately became interested.
Sometimes, a small piece of information can save the lives of tens of thousands of people ahead.
Zan Ning politely declined the futon pushed by Li Shimin and said: "Back then, the young monk followed an enlightened man and visited ancient temples all over the world, and accidentally arrived in the grassland and desert. At that time, Temujin was still the leader of a small tribe. He and other fierce gods The Mongolians are different, they are very enthusiastic when seeing foreign visitors."
"We happened to have eaten all the dry food at that time and were empty in the stomach. He entertained us very hospitably and insisted on staying with us for a few days. During those few days, he asked a lot of things and knew everything about the Central Plains. Very interested.”
"Although the poor monk was young at that time, he still knew some old things. He was thinking about these alien races outside the Great Wall, who always like to go south and invade the Central Plains. The more he yearned for the Central Plains, the more dangerous it would be, so he found an opportunity and left without saying goodbye. ."
Li Yu praised: "Master is really wise and profound, Temujin's ambition will never be satisfied."
