When Tang Sen heard this, he immediately felt the urge to curse!
As soon as he secured the five hundred monks in Daxiangguo Temple, the Emperor of Tang immediately came to visit?!
Tang Sen really didn't want to pay attention to it.
However, the other party is the Tang Emperor, the most powerful person in the entire Tang Dynasty!
There was no other way. Not going would be a disobedience. He still wanted to live a few more days.
Tang Sen sighed quietly:
"Lead the way."
Immediately, Tang Sen, wearing a purple gold cassock and holding the abbot's staff, followed the young novice out of the gate of Xiangguo Temple.
I saw a gorgeous carriage parked under the mountain gate, waiting for a long time.
The body of this carriage is made of golden nanmu, and the emerald canopy and bright yellow tassels highlight the royal style.
The two horses driving the car are elegant and elegant, with snow-white hair all over their bodies, without any stray hairs.
At this time, the car curtain was opened.
A middle-aged man with gorgeous clothes and a feminine temperament came out.
He has fair skin and delicate facial features, but his eyes are as sharp as an eagle.
The middle-aged man waved the Buddha dust in his hand and looked Tang Sen up and down:
"You must be Master Tang Sanzang!"
Tang Sen nodded when he heard this, and an attribute panel appeared in the sea of consciousness:
[Ingredients]: Eunuch (shemale)
[Cultivation]: Peak of Qi Condensation
【Food Rating】:Fifth grade of ordinary products
[Injustice in the past life]: After the bird was cut off, he forcibly married nine concubines, forced the palace maid, and the concubine had an affair with him
[Can it be transcended]: Can it be transcended?
[Dish Recommendation]: Ladyboy Big Tonic Soup

Hey!
Tang Sen suddenly felt furious.
This dead eunuch, without the tools to commit crimes, actually married a concubine from the Nine Concubines!
Also forcing palace maids and concubines to have fornications?!
How shameless!
How those nine concubines were tossing and turning in the long lonely night, their lower bodies so empty!
However, this transvestite soup is really a bit disgusting, and Tang Sen is afraid that he won't be able to bear it.
At this time, the middle-aged man whispered softly:
"I am the Eunuch Gao who serves in front of His Majesty!"
"Just now, the Great Master revealed the Dharma and caused a sensation in Chang'an City!"
"So, Your Majesty asked me to invite you into the palace specially!"
As he spoke, Eunuch Gao raised his orchid fingers and gave Tang Sen a wink.
Hiss~~
Goosebumps suddenly appeared all over Tang Sen's body.
Eunuch Gao!
Regarding this person, although Tang Sen was far away from the court, he had already heard of Eunuch Gao's name!
Eunuch Gao took advantage of the Tang Emperor's trust in him to form cliques for personal gain and exerted power over both the government and the opposition.
Both the government and the public call him Nine Thousand Years Old!
It is as if he is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people!
It is said that even the current general An Lushan is the godson of Eunuch Gao!
"Haha~"
Tang Sen smiled awkwardly but politely:
"Then there's Eunuch Lao Gao!"
After that, the two of them made some courtesy to each other.
Afterwards, Eunuch Gao took the lead and Tang Sen followed him into the carriage.
"drive!"
The royal coachman drove the carriage all the way down the mountain and along the royal street towards the palace.
The interior of the carriage was very luxurious, and the gold velvet seat cushions were soft, comfortable, and so radiant that it blinded Tang Sen's eyes.
The two sat across from each other.
Eunuch Gao suddenly had a sharp look in his eyes and said:
"Master Tang Sanzang, I have a message for you!"
Tang Sen's mouth curled up slightly, and he said with a smile:
"Eunuch Gao, please speak."
Eunuch Gao pursed his thin lips slightly and straightened his sleeves:
"I think the Great Master also knows that tomorrow is the All Nations Buddhist Association."
"When the time comes, all nations will come to visit, and eminent monks from all kingdoms will come to exchange Buddhist teachings!"
"His Majesty summoned you today, presumably to ask you to represent us, the Tang Dynasty, in tomorrow's Buddhist Conference of All Nations."
Hearing this, Tang Sen nodded silently.
He had also heard about the Ten Thousand Nations Buddhist Association for a long time.
It is said to be an exchange of Buddhist teachings, but in fact it is a competition between the weak and the strong!
Each kingdom wants to establish its authority in the Buddhist Assembly of All Nations, to intimidate other countries, and to demonstrate its hegemony.
At this time, Eunuch Gao's expression suddenly changed:
"But you must never agree!"
Tang Sen was moved when he heard this: "Why is this?!"
Eunuch Gao sneered and said with a threatening look in his eyes:
"Because our family has recommended my godson, Master Kongxuan, to Your Majesty!"
"He will be my future national master of the Tang Dynasty!"
"do you understand?"
Hearing this, Tang Sen suddenly sneered in his heart!
It’s your godson again!
You are a dead eunuch, how can you have so many godsons!
However, Tang Sen's face remained calm:
"clear!"
"The poor monk understands completely!"
Hearing this, Eunuch Gao nodded with satisfaction: "As long as you understand!"
“Our family just loves talking to smart people like you!”
"It's easy to understand, hehehe."
After saying that, he closed his eyes to rest and paid no attention to Tang Sen.
Tang Sen sneered in his heart!
Godson, right?
If given the chance, I will save all your descendants this time!
Half an hour later, the carriage entered the palace gate.
Tang Sen opened the curtains and looked outside, feeling secretly surprised.
It is worthy of being called the Imperial Palace of the Tang Dynasty. It is indeed grand and magnificent.
Pavilions, red bricks and yellow tiles, and strict palace restrictions show the royal style everywhere.
The guards patrolling all around were wearing iron armor, with swords and guns, and they were majestic!
The carriage drove all the way towards the deep palace and did not stop until it reached the jade steps.
At this time, Eunuch Gao slowly opened his eyes and said with a smile:
"The carriage goes straight to the imperial steps!"
"Master Tang Sanzang, this is the highest honor!"
Tang Sen smacked his lips and said, "Your Majesty, your grace!"
"Get out of the car!"
Eunuch Gao sneered: "Master, please remember what you just said!"
"Otherwise, we will not be able to guarantee your safety in this imperial city!"
Hearing this, Tang Sen had a smile on his face and mmm in his heart.
He secretly greeted his eighteenth generation ancestors, and then got off the carriage.
He looked up.
I saw a majestic hall standing on the ninety-nine jade steps!
With its red bricks, yellow tiles and glazed eaves, it has the grandeur of dominating the world.
On both sides of the jade steps, there are thousands of royal forest guards standing, holding golden swords in their hands, looking majestic.
At this time, Eunuch Gao’s disdainful voice came:
"What, are you looking stupid?"
"Your Majesty has summoned you, please come in quickly!"
Immediately, Tang Sen followed Eunuch Gao, walked up the jade steps and entered the main hall.
In the main hall, the carved beams and painted buildings are magnificent!
Among them, there are many palace maids, eunuchs and hundreds of officials, but they are only organized.
Sitting on the dragon chair in the middle is a middle-aged man.
He wears a bright yellow dragon robe and a Kowloon purple gold crown on his head. He has a majestic appearance and dominates the world.
Eunuch Gao immediately stepped forward and bowed:
"Your Majesty, the Great Master Tang Sanzang is here!"
As he spoke, he glanced at Tang Sen:
"You still don't kowtow when you see His Majesty!"
At this time, Emperor Tang waved his hands, smiled calmly and said: "That's all!"
"Master Tripitaka is an eminent monk, so there is no need for secular etiquette!"
Tang Sen was moved when he heard this. The majestic king of a country is actually so easy-going!
Immediately, he put his hands together and bowed to the Tang Emperor:
"The poor monk meets His Majesty!"
At this time, Tang Huang had already stood up and walked down the high platform and came to Tang Sen.
Under the attention of all the officials, he actually helped Tang Sen up with his own hands and said with a kind smile:
"There is no need to be polite, Archmage!"
hiss!
For a moment, all the officials, guards, and maids were shocked, and their eyes on Tang Sen changed instantly!
Envy, jealousy, surprise... all kinds of emotions, very complex.
Although Emperor Tang was easy-going, he never helped anyone with his hands!
This kind of grace is simply enviable to others!
And a trace of undetectable murderous intent flashed in Eunuch Gao's eyes.
For eunuchs, the emperor's favor is their greatest reliance and the foundation for their lives.
Therefore, whoever steals the grace will cut off their way of survival!
If you monopolize grace, this person will never live!
At this time, Emperor Tang smiled and said:
"Master Tripitaka, I just saw the golden light shining in the sky above Daxiangguo Temple. It is said that you are preaching Buddhism!"
"It shows how profound Master Dharma is!"
Tang Sen smiled calmly and said:
"Your Majesty is so complimentary!"
How ridiculous!
In fact, it was a poor monk cooking something to eat...
At this time, Emperor Tang disapproved and said with a smile:
"Tomorrow is the World Buddhist Association!"
"I would like to ask the Great Master to represent our country, the Tang Dynasty, to debate Buddhism with eminent monks from other countries and promote the prestige of our country, the Tang Dynasty!"
"I wonder what the Archmage wants?"
Tang Sen was about to reply when Eunuch Gao's voice suddenly sounded behind him:
"His Majesty!"
"Master Kong Xuan has been waiting for a long time!"
"It is said that Master Kongxuan's Dharma is immeasurable, and the golden-haired lion under his seat is a spiritual beast of understanding."
"If we can invite him to participate in the Buddhist Association of All Nations, it will definitely demonstrate the prestige of the Tang Dynasty!"
Tang Huang was noncommittal, with no trace of wavering on his calm face.
He turned to look at Eunuch Gao, and after a while he said:
"oh?"
"If this is the case, then who should we invite to represent the Tang Dynasty in this Ten Thousand Nations Buddhist Conference?"
When Eunuch Gao heard this, he immediately apologized and smiled:
"Your Majesty, this old slave has a way!"
Emperor Tang: "What method?"
Eunuch Gao glanced at Tang Sen and said with a smile:
"Why don't we let Master Kongxuan and Master Sanzang compete first?"
"The winner will represent the Tang Dynasty in the Buddhist Conference of All Nations!"
