Eight hundred and fortieth chapters the emperor's fate is hard to change
No matter how you view Journey to the West, Buddhism's influence in the Middle Earth Tang Dynasty has been greatly enhanced. At least during the time when Tang Monk was still in Chang'an, the momentum of Buddhism was really, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as the sun is as high as the sky.
Although the owners of the Taoist temples in Zhongnan Mountain are so sour, they can do something against Tang Seng at this time, but no one will do such a fool.
Just in response to the attitude of Emperor Tang Li Shimin, the best choice for Taoist sect at this time is to stop and wait silently for the Buddhist sect to make mistakes.
Fortunately, Tang Monk had become a Buddha and it was impossible for him to stay in the Middle Earth Tang Dynasty for a long time.
In particular, Tang Seng relied on the majestic clouds to restore memory and quickly restored his cultivation, and was a perfect practice of Dharma.
As we all know, Dharma practice is really suppressed in the Middle Land Realm.
Anyway, with Tang Seng's current state at this time, staying in Middle-earth would cause suffering.
Even in terms of merit, Buddhism will not allow Tang Monk to stay in the Central Land Realm for a long time.
Soon, when the excitement of Chang'an City slowly stopped, Tang Monk and his party bid farewell to Emperor Tang Li Shimin and a group of civil and military officials again, and once again took a colorful auspicious cloud in front of the eyes of the officials and citizens.
Although Tang Seng and his party left again set off a wave of craze in Chang'an City, such craze quickly receded after the parties involved left.
It was Li Shimin who did not get the magic pill he wanted, and his enthusiasm for Tang Monk and his party quickly cooled down.
If I hadn't known that Tang Seng and his party were all like gods, I'd probably have changed their attitude long ago.
When Tang Seng and his party left, there would be no other actions except for the official promotion of Mahayana Buddhism.
It was at this moment that Li Ke was called from Li Shimin.
After more than ten years, I saw Li Shimin again. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was obviously aging, and Li Ke could even feel the vitality in his body slowly passing.
"Have you met my father!"
Li Ke didn't say much, but just treated the courtesy according to the etiquette of people outside the country.
"You kid still looks like this, and it hasn't changed at all!"
Looking at Li Ke who was still in his twenties, Li Shimin's eyes flashed inexplicable expression and said angrily: "Tell me, what have you been doing after you have been away for more than ten years?"
You know, it was already the 27th year of Zhenguan, and Li Ke was already thirty-six years old.
According to normal history, Li Shimin has already died at this time.
But now it is Journey to the West, so the situation is naturally different.
Just the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth, even if you don’t practice, the physical fitness of ordinary people is stronger than that of the main world, and the lifespan is longer.
Li Ke chuckled and explained: "Father, after I helped Tang Jun solve the trouble, I ran to the two worlds to practice!"
"The Father may also know that for some reason, the Central Land Realm has inexplicably suppressed the Dharma practice, and it is very difficult to practice!"
Li Shimin, the lord of the Tang Dynasty in Middle-earth, naturally knew about this, and he nodded subconsciously to show his understanding.
"When you arrive at the Two Realms Mountain, that inexplicable suppression force will basically disappear!"
Speaking of this, Li Ke smiled and said, "I set up a temporary cave to practice there, and the effect is pretty good!"
As for the fact that he only showed up for the first time and had almost never appeared afterwards, there was no need to explain it at all, and Li Shimin would make up for it himself.
Sure enough, Li Shimin had no doubts at all. He just asked about the situation in the Two Realms Mountains, and finally said helplessly: "The distance is too far. Even if the Tang Dynasty border army wants to spread its influence, it will be somewhat ineffective!
”
"It's better to ask my elder brother to bring some people who are willing to leave and criminals over!"
Li Ke's heart moved and suggested: "As long as the passage to the Two Realms Mountain is opened, there can be said to be a golden land!"
Looking at Li Shimin with an inexplicable expression, he chuckled: "For brother, leaving the Tang Dynasty may be the best choice!"
"Chengqian, is that the same thing?"
Li Shimin's tone was a little strange, obviously thinking that this was what Li Chengqian asked Li Ke to convey.
"This is my own idea!"
Ignoring Li Shimin's sudden cold and sharp eyes, Li Ke explained Li Chengqian's condition and finally said: "It is obvious that it is not a good thing for the eldest brother and his family to stay in the Taoist temple in Zhongnan Mountain!"
Although this is Li Shimin's kindness, Li Chengqian cannot pass the threshold in his heart.
Instead of the deposed prince ending up in the Chongyang Palace, it is better to let him go to the Two Realms Mountains to develop freely outside the territory of the Tang Dynasty. What kind of thing can be achieved depends on your own ability. Wouldn't it be better?
Besides, if Li Chengqian has an accident in Chongyang Palace, Li Shimin may not vent his anger, but Li Zhi is hard to say.
You know, Changsun Wuji has always been wary of himself.
If Changsun Wuji had not done anything too much and had a lot of luck in the Tang Dynasty, Li Ke would have asked him to look good.
Li Shimin's expression was a little entangled, obviously he could not make a decision for a while. He glanced at Li Ke lightly and said angrily: "I will naturally consider this matter clearly before making a decision!"
Suddenly, he changed his mind and asked directly: "Tell me honestly, have you practiced successfully?"
When I said this, my eyes couldn't help but shiny.
Without asking for a magic pill from Tang Monk that can live forever or extend his life, he suddenly thought of Li Ke when he was disappointed.
If Li Ke only worshipped and entered the Taoist sect to practice, it would not have been paid attention to by Li Shimin.
The key is that Li Ke and the Eight Immortals on the Cave actually had a friendship, which was amazing.
Before, Li Shimin wanted to invite the Eight Immortals on the Cave to visit the palace, but naturally failed.
But he knew that the third brother Li Ke should have learned some real skills.
Otherwise, if the Tang army, who had previously entered the Tubo border, encountered strange troubles, Li Shimin would not have asked Li Ke to help immediately.
Facts have proved that Li Ke has indeed learned real skills, at least it can be confirmed through the secret report of the Tang army general on the front line.
After a decade or so, Li Shimin almost forgot about this guy.
If Tang Monk and his party had not returned on the colorful auspicious clouds and news came from Chongyang Palace at the same time, he would not have thought that Li Ke had real skills.
As for how good he is, Li Shimin didn’t expect much because of Li Ke’s age, but just hoped that he could have some secret recipes for nourishing his body and living a long life.
In fact, there are all these things in the palace, but the emperor's profession consumes too much physical and mental health. The effect of those secret medicines in the palace is quite average, and it will naturally make the emperor lose confidence over time.
"After so many years of cultivation, I have achieved some success!"
Li Ke smiled slightly, and naturally he would not say that he is now a top-level Golden Immortal. It is not an exaggeration to say that he lives with Tian.
Obviously, Li Shimin didn't think his cultivation was so powerful, it was just a tentative inquiry.
"Then do you have a magic pill for longevity in your hands?"
Fortunately, Li Shimin knew it and did not ask about the medicine for immortality.
"I naturally have some secret recipes and spiritual medicines that can live long!"
Li Ke chuckled and said, "However, for the father, these things are at most to maintain their physical condition and do not have the effect of extending their lifespan!"
“Why?”
The excitement that had just appeared on Li Shimin's face suddenly disappeared, and he frowned and asked in a deep voice: "Is it possible? Is there any saying here?"
When I spoke, there was already a faint anger in my tone.
"It's true!"
Unexpectedly, Li Ke's answer was beyond Li Shimin's expectations.
Li Ke did not say anything about the difficulties, nor did he say some mysterious and mysterious theories, but he just nodded and agreed to his annoyed words.
"Then tell me!"
Li Shimin's face became dark and his eyes looked at Li Ke were quite unkind.
"The father has dragon energy, and he is the destiny of the Emperor Star!"
Li Ke said calmly: "Especially the emperors in Middle Earth have their own fate!"
Speaking of this, he said in a deep voice: "It would be fine if it were an ordinary emperor, but as an emperor who created a prosperous era on earth, the dragon energy and human fortune on his body are extremely majestic, and he has received special attention from all the powerful people in the three realms!"
Seeing that Li Shimin was a little happy and his face improved a lot, he said with a lot of laughter: "This is also the most difficult aspect of the emperors on earth. If they don't have any achievements, they won't have enough luck. Even if they want to practice, they won't change their fate.
possible!"
"But once the emperor on earth accumulates enough merit and fortune to change his destiny, he will be paid attention to by the powerful people of the three realms, and there will be no possibility of changing his destiny!"
Speaking of this, he spread his hands and said helplessly: "Does the father think there may be exceptions and miracles?"
"What do you mean is that the powerful people in the Three Realms do not allow the emperors on earth to go against the will of heaven and change their destiny?"
Li Shimin's face darkened again, and he said unhappy: "Why is this?"
"We have to ask the Zhou emperor at that time, why did the Zhou Dynasty relegate to the Emperor when the Shang Dynasty replaced the Emperor?"
Li Ke said indifferently: "The human king can be cultivated. A powerful human king, such as the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, is all famous and powerful existences in the Three Realms, and its status is no worse than that of the Jade Emperor of Heaven!"
"But after the king becomes the emperor, the emperor will not be able to practice!"
Seeing Li Shimin's face full of shock, he continued to reveal: "Why did the Qin Empire die in the second lifetime?"
"The most important reason is that Zulong wants to go against the will of heaven and change his fate and achieve the hegemony of the Human Emperor, but he died in an unknown way!"
"impossible!"
Li Shimin was shocked and said in disbelief: "It is not said in history books..."
Speaking of later, his voice became weaker and weaker, and obviously he knew that history books were unreliable.
By the way, Li Shimin himself was the one who set the forefront of the emperor's deletion and modification of historical books in history. How could he believe in any historical books?
"Nothing is impossible!"
Li Ke's tone was still calm and he was not affected at all. Lei Ran said: "This is what the Eight Immortals in Shangdong said. The Qin Empire at that time seemed to have been inherited by the ancient witch clan. Those Qin generals who shined in history were not just
