Eastern Tang Dynasty, Chang'an, in the imperial palace!
Tang Monk introduced his apprentice to the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, and explained the difficulties of this journey to the west. Of course, in order to avoid causing Li Shimin panic, he omitted the explanation of the alien race and briefly talked about some things that were blocked by demons.
If Wang Xiong's minister Shang Hen was here, he would have heard that during this journey of learning, there was no foreign race mentioned in Tang Monk's mouth. It was clearly the content of the "Journey to the West" on Earth.
After everything was said, he finally took out a large number of scriptures given by Tathagata Buddha.
"My dear brother, thank you for your hard work on this trip to the west!" Li Shimin sighed.
Tang Seng has been away for more than ten years. After more than ten years, Li Shimin has become much older.
"For the sake of the common people of the Eastern Land, this poor monk has the duty to come back to preach the scriptures this time. After completing His Majesty's unfinished Land and Water Conference, I will also say goodbye and return to the place where I, Buddha Tathagata!" Tang Monk sighed slightly.
"Have you achieved enlightenment and become immortal?" Li Shimin's expression changed and he looked at Tang Seng in surprise.
Tang Seng nodded.
Li Shimin's eyes suddenly lit up: "Then, can I also...!"
"Your Majesty is the human emperor, and the human emperor has his own destiny. Your mission is not to live forever, but to lead the people to prosperity. In today's Tang Dynasty, if your majesty blindly practices practice and delays the governance of the people of the world, it will be the biggest crime! If your majesty gives up the country , I can teach you how to practice! In this way, the people of the world will not be delayed, and you and I will not have to bear the condemnation of heaven and earth!" Tang Seng explained.
"Abandon the Tang Dynasty? Are you willing to teach me the method of immortality?" Li Shimin's face darkened.
The emperor wanted to live forever because he had a beautiful country. But, you want me to give up my country? Do you want to lose the empire I have built over the years? Are you kidding me
Hum, if you don’t want to teach me, someone will teach me!
Li Shimin suddenly had a bad impression of Tang Seng.
Little do they know that Tang Monk is telling the truth. In the past, during the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period, the descendants of the Yellow Emperor, including Zhuanxu, Emperor Ku, and Tang Yao, were all descendants of the Yellow Emperor. Neither Zhunti nor Jingyin taught them the method of immortality.
Today, Li Shimin still despises Tang Monk for cherishing his broom
"In that case, then prepare for the Land and Water Conference!" Li Shimin said calmly.
There seemed to be a sense of alienation towards Tang Seng in his tone.
"Amitabha!" Tang Seng nodded.
Tang Seng didn't take Li Shimin's estrangement seriously. He had no intention of staying in the Tang Dynasty for a long time. This time he came back to preach scriptures and continue the Water and Land Conference, which had already given Li Shimin a huge favor. He didn't appreciate it.
Tang Seng and his disciples were about to leave.
"Father, the child is back!" Suddenly a voice came from outside the hall.
Hearing this voice, Tang Seng's pupils suddenly shrank.
But he saw a young man wearing a Chinese robe walking from outside the hall.
The moment they saw the man, whether it was Tang Monk or several of his disciples, their pupils shrank and their eyes widened.
"Zhong, Zhong Yue?" Zhu Bajie exclaimed, his scalp numb.
Isn't the person who came here the Shadow King Zhong Yue who was nowhere to be found in the sky full of gods and Buddhas? In Datang
Have you always been in Datang
"My son, I pay my respects to my father!" The young man saluted Li Shimin.
"Zhi'er, are you back?" Li Shimin suddenly smiled.
"Fortunately, Father, the child has finally been found!" the young man said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, okay!" Li Shimin said excitedly.
"Who are these...?" The young man looked at the four masters and disciples of Tang Seng.
At this moment, Tang Seng and his disciples looked at him with a gentle smile, but their expressions were extremely gloomy. Until now, you are actually pretending that you don’t know yourself
"These are the Master Xuanzang I told you about! There are also several of his disciples who were ordered by me to go to the West to obtain scriptures!" Li Shimin explained.
"Prince Li Zhi of the Tang Dynasty, I have met you all!" The young man smiled slightly.
Zhunti was reincarnated as Tang Monk, while Zhong Yue was reincarnated as Li Zhi.
"Li Zhi? Long time admirer!" Tang Monk chuckled slightly. But he was extremely wary in his heart.
"Okay, Xuanzang, go prepare for the land and water conference. The water and land conference will be held tomorrow, so start it early! Anyway, the monks from all over the world have received the news and have come to Chang'an one after another. It's up to you to preach!" Li Shimin said.
Li Shimin seemed to want Tang Seng and his disciples to leave quickly, so as to say something to his son.
"Okay!" Tang Seng looked at Li Zhi and finally nodded.
After all, it was thanks to Li Shimin's guidance that he traveled west to learn scriptures. Although everything was planned by the gods and Buddhas in the sky, Li Shimin also played a certain role. After the Land and Water Conference, he and Li Shimin were no longer indebted to each other.
Tang Seng left with his disciples. As for the news about Zhong Yue, the elder brother and others must know it immediately.
And inside the palace hall.
Li Shimin retreated from his subordinates and looked at his son Li Zhi.
"Did you find it?" Li Shimin asked eagerly.
"Yes, although many immortals refused to teach the art of immortality, the child finally met an immortal and asked for an elixir for his father. After eating the elixir, his father will be immortal and become an emperor forever!" Li Zhi! smiled.
"Okay, okay, okay, I have many sons in my life, but they are very ambitious. They want to imitate me and do a Xuanwu Sect transformation and seize my country. Do you think I can't see it? It's better for you to govern your son. Be good! Know how to be filial!" A sigh flashed in Li Shimin's eyes.
"The child was raised by his father, so he is naturally filial to him. Besides, I am the ninth eldest son, and there are eight brothers above me. It is impossible even if I think about it. Therefore, the child will not have any thoughts about my father's empire. As long as the father lives forever, the child will enjoy endless glory!" Li Zhi said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, okay! Huh, that Master Xuanzang? It's ridiculous. If it weren't for me, he could have achieved enlightenment? Now he has the method of immortality, but he refuses to tell me. It's really not a thing. Without you, I can't live forever. Really?" Li Shimin sneered.
"Father, this elixir cannot be opened for too long. Please swallow it as soon as possible to achieve immortality!" Li Zhi said immediately.
"well!"
Li Shimin immediately swallowed the elixir and was extremely satisfied with the son in front of him.
---------------
Monks from the Tang Dynasty gathered in Chang'an. Waiting for Tang Monk’s land and water conference.
Sure enough, Tang Seng did not disappoint everyone, and the Land and Water Conference was held soon.
Moreover, Tang Monk also left countless scriptures in a temple in Chang'an for monks from all over the world to come and study.
Li Shimin did not come to watch the Land and Water Conference.
Because, Li Shimin swallowed the 'elixir', and at this moment, his whole person was in a state of ecstasy, as if he was about to become an immortal. At this time, who cares about the Land and Water Conference.
The purpose of the Water and Land Conference is to liberate the resentful spirits killed by me. Countless resentful spirits killed by me are waiting for me in the underworld. The overwhelming resentment and boundless sins will definitely be avenged by those resentful spirits after my death. .
In the past, the Land and Water Conference was for things to do after death. Now that I am immortal and no longer have to go to the underworld, I still care about the Land and Water Conference.
Li Shimin didn't come, but it was a huge loss.
Because at this moment, countless monks came to listen to the lecture, and they saw that when Tang Monk opened his mouth, shadows of Buddha's light and golden lotus appeared in the void.
This is not to show off magic, but to actually use Buddhism to inspire the way of heaven. The formation of the Heavenly Dao Qi phase.
Under this aura, a stream of Buddha's voice entered the mind, and countless monks who listened to the lecture suddenly became enlightened.
There were even one or two enlightened monks who actually had streaks of golden light all over their bodies, reaching the realm of golden Arhats.
Tang Seng has recovered all the cultivation skills of Zhunti. The Buddha's teachings are so high that only the Tathagata Buddha and the Saint Jieyin can compare with him in this world.
What a blessing it is to be preaching at this moment. Even if the monks listening to the lecture today do not understand it, they will be cleansed of their sins. It is not impossible to increase longevity.
Tang Seng also fulfilled his promise and helped Li Shimin to free the ghosts of his enemies in the underworld, freeing them of their heinous sins so that they could be reincarnated.
Tang Seng didn't know that Li Shimin no longer paid attention to the Land and Water Conference at this moment.
In Chang'an City, there are a few people who have been paying attention.
Among them was Zhong Yue and a beautiful woman from the palace.
The woman is none other than Wu Jue!
Wu Jue stood at the entrance of the hall, looking in the distance in the direction of the Land and Water Conference, biting his lip.
There is a person standing on the side, who is it if he is not a general
"Jue'er, forget it!" The general sighed slightly.
"Forget it? Why forget it? General, where were you when I was suppressed by Pangu? You have been in Pangu world for a long time. Why have you turned a deaf ear to my suppression?" Wu Jue glared at the general.
The general smiled bitterly: "Who dares to disobey Pangu's wishes?"
"Hmph, you are Pangu's lackey!" Wu Jue said bitterly.
The general frowned slightly, and finally said in a deep voice: "Jue'er, have you forgotten how you grew up? Without Pangu, you could live to this day!"
"But, he suppressed me!" Wu Jue said bitterly.
"Do you only remember revenge?" the general asked solemnly.
Wu Jue looked at the general with red eyes.
"Pangu treats you as his son, but it's chilling for you to say that to him!" the general sighed.
"Hmph!" Wu Jue snorted coldly.
"I know you have resentment after being suppressed all these years, but that Zhong Yue is not a good guy. He seeks skin from a tiger, and most of the time it doesn't end well. You and him are in vain, and you may be the one who is deceived in the end!" The general frowned.
"I want you to take care of it!" Wu Jue said coldly.
The general smiled bitterly.
But at this moment, Zhong Yue's reincarnated Li Zhi stepped forward.
"Qingzhi! What do you think about what I told you before?" Li Zhi immediately came up to him with a smile.
Wu Jue glared at Li Zhi: "You want my blue sea beads, you are dreaming!"
"No, haven't we already agreed? I've helped you recover your memory, what else do you want?" Li Zhi said with a smile.
Wu Jue said coldly: "Then let me also recover my cultivation?"
"Restore your cultivation level? Not just restore your cultivation level. If you want the whole world, I will give it to you! How about it?" Li Zhi said with a smile.
"Just you? Huh!" Wu Jue snorted coldly.
"What's wrong with me? The sky is full of gods and Buddhas to deal with the four kings of spring, summer, autumn and winter. Even if some of the immortals who follow them are scared away, they are only 60%. I still have 40 million immortals following me. This sky full of gods and Buddhas counts. What?" Li Zhi laughed.
"Hmph, you'd better take care of yourself. You've been exposed to Monk Tang. Let's see how long you can survive!" Wu Jue sneered.
"Tang Seng is so pedantic! Moreover, I still remember that Tang Seng seemed to have abandoned you ruthlessly, didn't he? Don't you think that by cooperating with me, you can take revenge on Tang Seng?" Li Zhi said with a smile.
Wu Jue looked at Li Zhi coldly.
"Think about it again!" Li Zhi smiled slightly.
