It is not that the Taoist sect has suffered disasters since it entered the Immortal Court. During the Wuhu chaos, there were only half of the country in the southeast. During the period, the Shimen was once in a difficult situation. Emperor Wu of Liang became a monk three times, and the 480 temples in the Southern Dynasty were full of blood and tears of Taoism.
At that time, there were not many incense sticks in the mortal world, but the Daoist sect persisted. Now that Li Ye occupies the Central Plains, attacked Huainan, and entered Guanzhong, the general situation is at hand, it is true that the Taoist sect is in trouble, but the Taoist fairy court may not be doomed because of this.
As long as the Yaozu and Tongtian leader are dealt with first, and the situation is stabilized, with the accumulation of Daomen Xianting, there are plenty of opportunities to slowly turn the situation around. Although the Kunlun Passage was temporarily closed, didn't it not be destroyed after all
After the court meeting ended, Li Changgeng returned to his fairy island and went straight to the library. There are countless classics and documents in it, among which are the detailed records of how Taoist fairy courts reversed the situation step by step in the face of life and death crises during the Wuhu chaos.
Li Changgeng plans to revisit the history, find some inspiration from it, and then formulate the future action plan of Xianting according to the current general situation in the fairyland and the mortal world. As the number one think tank of the Immortal Emperor, Li Changgeng has this responsibility.
Just as he unfolded a scroll to read, Li Changgeng was told by Xiantong that someone had come to visit him.
It was a great man who came to visit.
A big guy that Li Changgeng didn't expect.
When Li Changgeng saw the guest waiting by the lotus pond in the garden, he couldn't help frowning.
It's an acquaintance. It's just that the other party is not from Taoist Immortal Court.
"Your Majesty is here, and Xiaoxian is really rude to welcome you from a distance." Li Changgeng cupped his hands with a smile on his face from a long distance away.
Manjusri clasped his hands together, and respectfully returned the salute: "If you take the liberty to bother me, it's already Haihan who doesn't blame the elder."
Manjusri, one of the four masters of Shimen, would suddenly come to Xianting to visit him at this time. Although Li Changgeng was surprised, he was not surprised. He knew a little bit about the situation of Shimen, and he had some ideas in his heart.
The two sat down in the flower pavilion, and after exchanging greetings, Li Changgeng asked each other why they came. Now that the situation in Xianyu has changed suddenly, he has a lot of things to do, and he doesn't have much time to fight with the opponent.
When Manjusri smiled, he looked like a statue of a Bodhisattva sympathetic to all living beings, and said slowly: "I have heard about what happened in the Taoist fairy garden recently in the Buddhist realm. Your family and I live in the same Kyushu, have hundreds of years of friendship, and have also traveled together. In adversity, if there is a place in the Buddhist realm, we are willing to do the work of a dog and a horse."
Li Changgeng sneered in his heart.
It is true that the two families have hundreds of friendships, but most of them are fighting each other. As for going through hardships together, Li Changgeng knows that the other party refers to the period of the Wuhu chaos, and they expelled and annexed the Wuhu gods together. But that incident not only did not improve the relationship between Taoism and Shimen, but made Xianting hate Foyu to the core.
Now is not the time to talk about the past, Li Changgeng responded with a smile: "Although there are some small troubles in the Daoist sect, the other party is just a clown, and the fairy court can solve it with a backhand, and you don't need to worry about it. It's the Buddhist realm, Xiaoxian listen Said that the Holy Buddha fought against the so-called Allah, but he did not win."
The holy Buddha of Shimen is fighting the Allah of Islam. This is a big event in the fairyland, and Taoists can't pay attention to it.
Islam invaded eastward, and its influence has reached Tianzhu. The situation of the Buddhist sect is very similar to that of the Taoist sect, or even worse.
In Tianzhu, not only did other religions rise up in the country, but the beliefs of the people were changing, which led to a sharp decline in Buddhist incense, and the foreign enemies of Islamic gods were even more powerful. In addition to the loss of Kyushu, it is only lingering in the Western Regions, Shimen is now the real frontline of life and death.
At this time, how can Shimen have the energy to help Daomen
Even if there is, it is just to re-enter Kyushu.
If you let the other party in, the possibility of the other party muddying the water and fishing in troubled waters is obviously greater than helping the Taoist.
How could Li Changgeng not know this
To the Daoist sect, although Li Ye is a confidant and mortal enemy, Xianting still appreciates him for driving the Shimen forces out of Kyushu.
Of course, Li Changgeng also knew that in the Battle of Qishan, Li Ye broke Shimen's plan to move eastward, and in the Battle of Hedong, he even defeated Li Keyong, who was supported by Shimen. Datang completely expelled, but did not really wipe out the power of Shimen in Kyushu.
After all, that was just expulsion, not uprooting.
After nearly a thousand years of accumulation, Shimen still has influence among the people, and there are still sporadic sparks left. Although these sparks are small, as long as Li Ye is still there, it is impossible to stir up any waves. But it exists after all, and once the situation changes, there may be the possibility of wildfires starting a prairie fire.
At the beginning of the chaos in China, all the north fell into the hands of the Hu people. The reason why the Taoist sect was able to make a comeback was not to support the Southern Dynasty to defeat the Northern Dynasty. Instead, he kept a low profile, took advantage of the time when the five hus were conquering each other, and gradually grew stronger, and finally expelled and devoured the five hu gods, and became the overlord of Kyushu again.
——Daomen struggled all the way, finally developed, and gradually eroded the Wuhu gods who had become weak due to fighting with each other. When the situation was good, Shimen took advantage of the vacancy, and it was revived in the north almost overnight.
After Daomen defeated the final opponent, it was discovered that Shimen had also gained a firm foothold.
Later, Shimen euphemistically called it that they and the Daoist sect "were going through adversity together".
In this way, how can the Daoist sect not hate the Shimen sect
The current situation is that although Li Ye has occupied a large territory in the mortal world, in some places in central Sichuan, Bachu, and Jiangnan, there are also Taoist and Shimen forces, which are far from being completely wiped out. What Xianting is thinking now is to take the opportunity to expel Shimen permanently, so as not to repeat the mistakes of the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
After all, the Daomen Immortal Court is a local immortal force in Kyushu. Unlike the Shimen, once the incense is extinct, it will basically be finished in Kyushu. Even if there is no incense to worship, the Daomen can still persist for some time.
The current situation is certainly a great crisis for the Taoist sect, but it is also the best time for the Taoist sect to wipe out the Shimen in Kyushu and restore its prosperity.
Crisis is the coexistence of danger and opportunity.
What's more, the Shimen is not only about to end in Kyushu, but also in Tianzhu and its surrounding areas. This is simply the end of the Shimen!
So Li Changgeng would never agree with Shimen to interfere in the affairs of the Daoist Immortal Court, and it was too late for him to beat the dog in the water.
Manjusri understood Li Changgeng's thoughts from his reaction.
Manjusri was not surprised by Li Changgeng's thoughts. If she hadn't expected this and knew that it would be difficult to intervene in the dispute between the Taoist sect and the demon clan, then she would not have come to talk to Li Changgeng, but the Holy Buddha had gone directly to talk to the Immortal Emperor.
Manjusri sighed: "The Immortal Elder needs to know that although Shimen's current situation is unfavorable, after all, there are thousands of years of accumulation. There are many masters in the mortal world, and there are like clouds in the Buddhist realm. If Shimen wants to help someone, then no one can ignore it." great power."
This statement is true.
Just because the Immortal Emperor and Li Changgeng didn't accept the help from Foyu, doesn't mean that the Yaozu and Tongtian Cult Master would also refuse.
Li Changgeng was still smiling, but there was a lot of chill in the smile, "Is the master threatening Xiaoxian?"
Manjusri shook his head, and said seriously: "The little monk is just telling the elder a fact."
Li Changgeng's smile returned to his demeanor, and he said calmly, "Xiaoxian is waiting for the Holy Buddha to cut his flesh and feed it to the eagle."
Manjusri stopped talking and just stared at Li Changgeng.
If Shimen really sent many strong men to the east, it would be even more impossible to deal with the Islamic gods, unless the holy Buddha was willing to give up Tianzhu.
Even so, the Holy Buddha wants to give it a go in the Taoist fairy garden, but helping the Yaozu and Tongtian leader is no different from cutting flesh and feeding eagles. Who can guarantee that after the Yaozu and the leader of the Tongtian sect are done, they will not peck Shimen in turn

Manjusri left.
With unfulfilled intentions.
Back in the Buddhist realm, Manjusri did not go to see the Holy Buddha because she did not need to report. For her actions, the holy Buddha would know very clearly without asking. What Manjusri went to see was Master Feihong who was facing the wall and thinking about his past.
Facing the wall and thinking about mistakes is just an elegant way of saying it. In fact, Master Feihong, who failed in the Hedong operation, is being imprisoned and tortured, just like Yang Jian.
In the temple of Master Feihong, there is a crystal ball exuding a red halo floating in the shrine. Manjusri stood still in front of the shrine, watching the crystal ball changing colors without saying a word.
If you observe carefully, you will find that in the center of the crystal ball, there is a small white-clothed monk sitting cross-legged on a lotus platform, who is being attacked by various beasts, bitten by poisonous insects, chopped by lightning, and torn by devils.
The white-clothed monk with three thousand black hairs twisted, elongated, and faded from time to time, and was occasionally torn into pieces, bitten to pieces, and quickly returned to its original shape. The scenes seem real and unreal, seem far and near, indescribably horrifying and grotesque.
Shimen likes to say that one flower is one world, one leaf is one bodhi, and this crystal ball is a small world.
Manjusri looked at the crystal ball calmly for a long time, and when he folded his hands together, he uttered the Buddha's name, as if he couldn't bear it, and asked: "Feihong, Shimen is facing an unprecedented disaster... You, don't you regret it?" ?”
She originally wanted to say that all this started because of you.
After all, the opponent lost in Hedong.
Based on Master Feihong's way of doing things, the trip to the east of the river was originally a sure thing, and there was no reason why he would lose.
But Manjusri skipped this sentence.
In the crystal ball, a white-clothed monk with folded hands sat upright on the lotus platform, silent and motionless like a mountain.
After waiting for a long time, Manjusri shook his head and left.
When walking out of the temple gate, Manjusri looked up at the sky and stopped for a moment.
She murmured in a low voice: "If there is no defeat in the east, Li Ye will never be successful; if there is no victory in the east, the Taoist school will not be as difficult as it is now. "
As soon as Manjusri finished speaking, a thunder sounded in his mind.
She was startled leisurely, and then her face became solemn.
That was the voice of the Holy Buddha.
The holy Buddha said only four words.
Hexi, Tubo.
...
In front of Chang'an City, Li Ye walked slowly on the official road.
Passers-by avoid.
In front of the city gate, there are hundreds of officials to greet each other, and the guard of honor is shining.
The person in front with a yellow robe and golden crown, smiling all over his face, was the emperor Li Yan.
All of a sudden, Li Ye saw a snowflake falling from the tower on Li Yan's shoulder.
Winter is finally here.
Li Ye raised his hand, signaled the Jingqi behind him to stop, then dismounted and walked.
One step, two steps, three steps, every step of the lotus.
In the seven towns of Hebei and the nine towns of Henan, hundreds of millions of people's luck gathered in one body, urging him to move forward; in Chang'an, in the eight towns of Guanzhong, hundreds of millions of people's luck came from all directions to welcome him to move forward. Even in Huainan, there were a lot of good luck cruising here, surrounding him as he moved forward.
Even the emperor has the power of luck rising.
Li Ye walked towards Chang'an in this way.
Li Ye, who was meditating cross-legged on the fairyland, suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes shone brightly, as if the real coercion spread like a cloud, like a belt, like a tide, spreading around his body, stretching for hundreds of miles.
At this moment, he stepped through the Real Fairyland and became a Taiyi True Immortal.
