Eight hundred and fortieth chapters return to the south
Everyone is happy when Journey to the West ends.
All the existences and forces involved were rewarded with luck, and they were all smiling happily and were so excited.
Buddhism is naturally the biggest winner. Not to mention cleaning up the most difficult demon kings in Xiniu Hezhou, they forcibly plundered the remaining luck of some ancient demon clans, and they also gained two new Buddhas, which can be said to have gained a lot.
Tang Monk restored the memory of Tathagata's disciples, and with the blessing of the magnificent Journey to the West, his strength suddenly increased to a considerable level.
Although the monkey tried hard to paddle on the road to Journey to the West, he still obtained the title of Fighting and Fighting Buddha, and his cultivation level reached the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal.
As for Zhu Bajie, Sha Monk and White Dragon Horse, they all gained a lot.
After rewarding merits and practices, it is naturally to expand its influence, or to return home in glory is the most accurate.
When traveling west, it depends entirely on two legs. Of course, in private, the powerful Buddhists use their great powers to forcibly compress the journey to the west. This is not easy to explain.
When I went back, my trip to Journey to the West took a colorful auspicious cloud, and the scenery flew directly to the Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty in the Middle Earth.
The sensation caused can be imagined, and the entire Chang'an City was in full swing.
Emperor Li Shimin of Tang led all civil and military officials to welcome him in the palace square. After that, it was naturally very lively, with various welcoming banquets. At the same time, the names of the four Tang monks and disciples were quickly spread in the Central Plains Tang Dynasty.
It can be said that Journey to the West at this time was the most dazzling star in the Middle Earth Tang Dynasty.
Who told them to be too dazzling?
The colorful auspicious clouds are the standard equipment for gods. The way of appearance of Journey to the West clearly tells everyone that they are veritable gods, how can they not cause sensation and eager pursuit?
Even Li Shimin, after enthusiastically entertaining Journey to the West, did not forget to inquire in private if there is any magic pill for immortality?
As for why not ask about the practice method, as the emperor, where can he have free time to meditate and practice, or the elixir is the simplest to use.
Of course, Tang Seng didn't have it, and he wouldn't dare to give it to him even if he had it.
As the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures brought back by Tang Monk spread in the Central Plains Tang Dynasty, the Buddhist sect's momentum was instantly disproportionate, and the sound of the Taoist sect was almost wiped out.
It was in this atmosphere that Li Ke quietly returned to Chongyang Palace in Zhongnan Mountain.
The Taoist temple host returned, which made the Taoist left behind naturally very happy.
They also knew the rules and did not ask Li Ke where he was going over the years, but only reported the updates of the Chongyang Palace.
Actually, there is nothing to say...
The Chongyang Palace is as peaceful as ever, and the offerings in the imperial palace have never been cut off. What should life be like?
The change was the deposed prince Li Chengqian, who lived here. As Li Chengqian's children gradually grew up, they were gradually dispersed to study in various places.
The deposed prince Li Chengqian was in good health, but his mental state was a little depressed. According to the Taoist left behind, if this continues, it may hinder his life span.
Li Ke did not argue about this.
It was not his turn to deal with Li Chengqian's affairs, a person outside the world.
Without Li Shimin's approval, Li Chengqian would have to stay in Chongyang Palace honestly.
Another thing is that the Taoist children in the Chongyang Palace have grown up and become Taoists before.
There are also some who have succeeded in practicing martial arts and leave Chongyang Palace on their own initiative.
I heard that some people were mingling in the army, and some became rangers, and from time to time they would send some goods, rice and grain to the Chongyang Palace.
"Let them go!"
Li Ke didn't care and said calmly: "I said before that Chongyang Palace does not restrict your freedom. If you want to leave, just say it with your own initiative!"
"But the ugly saying goes ahead. Once you leave voluntarily, you are not allowed to use the banner of Chongyang Palace outside. If you violate the law, you will be wanted by the government and don't think about returning to Chongyang Palace to be protected!"
The Taoist, who was in charge of the daily affairs of the Chongyang Palace, nodded repeatedly and said yes, obviously the same thoughts were the same.
After all, Chongyang Palace is a royal Taoist temple, so it is best not to participate in some things.
Besides, it is not a good thing for people outside the world to combine with the world, as it has too much impact on practice.
Li Ke left behind the most basic training to the internal martial arts practice at the level of the supernatural power realm. As long as the Taoist in Chongyang Palace practices step by step, it is probably not enough to take a hundred years to become a martial arts master in the supernatural power realm.
If you have some martial arts talent, it may be possible to reduce the time by decades.
It can be said that Li Ke's move was very generous, giving Chongyang Palace Sect an opportunity to enter the world of cultivation, which is very commendable.
You should know that the saying "The Dharma is not passed on to the six ears" has ruined the practice path of many people who are determined to enter the world of cultivation?
Many people can't even find a way. Li Ke directly passed down the practice techniques in Chongyang Palace. As long as he reaches his cultivation level, he can obtain further techniques.
It can be said that he is quite friendly to the Chongyang Palace Sect's people, and compared with the hard work of these sects, it is definitely worth it.
If you want to use the name of Chongyang Palace to do whatever you want or grab profits in this situation, you will be life or death.
I don’t know what Li Shimin thought. After knowing the rules of Chongyang Palace, whenever the previous Taoist priests in Chongyang Palace took the initiative to leave, a new Taoist boy would join.
Therefore, in the past ten years, a group of people have left, but the number of Taoist children and Taoist people in the Chongyang Palace has not decreased, but has increased a lot.
Not only that, the Taoists who stayed in Chongyang Palace are also good at martial arts masters.
The strongest existence has reached the level of a master of internal martial arts at this time, but is only in his forties, and his future is promising.
Li Ke naturally wouldn't be stingy about these guys who can tolerate loneliness and are willing to stay and become a real Taoist.
It would be fine if I hadn't come back before, but now I'm back, so I naturally have to give me various advice. In addition, I also provide some cultivation resources to help them practice better.
He has been in charge of Chechi Kingdom for about ten years. In addition to guiding the people in the Taoist sect of Chechi Kingdom to practice talismans, and also monitoring Journey to the West, and preparing to intervene at any time, he has a lot of free time.
He didn't waste his time and learned all kinds of cultivation methods from the Eight Immortals of the Shangdong Cave.
For example, the sword immortal way of Chunyang Zhenren, the art of refining weapons, the system of alchemy, etc. In short, Li Ke can completely boast about it at this time: My buddy is the basic Taoist cultivation master at this time!
There is no need to take out the ability to refine alchemy. Just a reasonable medicinal recipe is enough for the Taoists who practice martial arts in the Chongyang Palace.
He would not do too much. The Central Earth Tang Dynasty had inexplicable power suppression. Even if the method of practicing and talisman cultivation was passed down, it would be difficult to practice, and it would even be difficult to get started.
By the way, after the end of Journey to the West, the three national masters of Che Chi Kingdom all reached the level of celestial immortals, so there was no need for Li Ke and the Eight Immortals on the Cave to stay there.
After all, Xiniu Hezhou is the sphere of influence of Buddhism, and it is too conspicuous for their group of senior Taoist monks to stay there.
There was a concealment of Journey to the West before, and most of the energy of Buddhism was placed there, so we could naturally get away with it for a while.
But now that Journey to the West is over, how can I not be attracted by attention?
Don't think too much. If he and the Eight Immortals on Shangdong continue to stay in Chechi Kingdom, the Buddhists might have to send out powerful people to drive them directly.
By the way, don’t expect to survive the Daojiao country’s foundation.
It would be better for them to take the initiative to take a step back, leaving only one powerful Golden Immortal to take charge, and the rest of them take the initiative to evacuate.
In this way, Buddhism will have no excuse to mobilize powerful people.
As long as Buddhism does not send powerful and powerful people out, Chechi Kingdom will be able to maintain it forever.
If you want to use secular means, with Chechiguo's national strength at this time, you will not be worried about threats from outside at all.
In view of this, Li Ke and the Eight Immortals on Shangdong said goodbye.
After all, Li Ke is not the core of the Taoist sect, and has almost nothing to do with the other high-level cores of the Taoist sect and some existences.
The matter between Che Chi Kingdom still has to be carried out by the Eight Immortals in Shangdong and discuss operations with other senior core members of the Taoist sect, and Li Ke couldn't help at all.
Since that's the case, he doesn't need to stay.
Just half a beat slower than Tang Monk and his roster, Li Ke also returned to the Central Land Realm, without alarming Li Shimin, and quietly returned to Chongyang Palace.
At this time, because Tang Monk and his party were celebrating, he was not interested in joining in Chang'an City.
When this wave of excitement passes, Li Shimin will naturally know about his return.
Li Ke didn't think it was a big deal. Li Shimin would never know that he took the initiative to participate in Journey to the West, nor would he know that his cultivation level had reached the peak of the Golden Immortal, and he was also the number one character in the Three Realms.
As expected, Li Shimin would only think that he was still wandering in Wuzhi Mountain, which is only two times.
After all, the distance is too far, and with the national strength of the Tang Dynasty, it is not easy to spread your hands and strength.
When he came back, he glanced at Wuzhishan and his temporary cave before, a small town had already formed. He just didn't know whether the power of the Tang Dynasty's government had penetrated.
I'm afraid it's a bit difficult, because of distance, it's easy to form a separatist situation there.
With the feudal system that had long ended in the Middle-Turkey Dynasty, it would rather give up letting outsiders take over than letting their own people take over.
Li Ke has no idea about this. Unless there is a special reason, he will rarely go there again in the future, so he will not care what it will eventually become.
Unless the country of Chechi has developed to a certain extent and its tentacles spread to Wuzhishan, he will not continue to pay attention to it.
He just returned to Chongyang Palace in Zhongnan Mountain, but he did not practice anything. Instead, he wandered around the Taoist temples in Zhongnan Mountain and talked about the mythology with the masters of these Taoist branches.
It feels like there is less flavor.
Maybe my cultivation level is too high, but I heard the sour words in my ears. Obviously, the masters of Taoist temples in Zhongnan Mountain were quite dissatisfied with the popularity of Buddhism...
