Volume 10 The Controversy of Buddhism and Taoism Chapter 31 The Flying Dragon in the Sky
Endless clouds were gathering, it seemed that the heavens and the earth were all white, and this thick cloud was so thick that people couldn't see everything in front of them clearly, enveloping the entire circle around the altar above the Leyou Plain. Everyone exclaimed, all this was beyond everyone's expectations, first the two families of Buddhism and Taoism made an auspicious cloud, shrouded the altar, and now there is such a strange cloud appeared, obviously this is not a category they can understand.
But everyone has a guess in their hearts, all this is not made by Li Kuan, the king of Chu, right? The auspicious clouds shrouded the altar before, and the three Tang Dynasty teachers were like immortals, and then Li Kuan, the king of Chu, came out of the crowd and rushed directly to the altar with a loud shout, and then it was such a cloud of mist. It's just that what no one expected was that in this white mist, there were wisps of black markings, wandering in the air. Like a pitch-black curtain swaying in the wind.
As the clouds and mist gradually condensed, everyone found that they could see clearly again, but all this in front of them was completely taken aback, only to see a huge white tiger in front of the altar, Xiu'ang this altar rushed over, with the footsteps of Li Kuan, the king of Chu, the four claws were open, like a fierce tiger roaring in the mountains and forests, and every step on the earth seemed to make the earth tremble. This white tiger is so huge, it is several feet high, standing on the ground there is more than half the height of the altar of the heavens, its tiger head is raised, roaring in the sky, and the endless ferocity spreads, making everyone feel suffocated for a while. And in a single leap, he jumped directly on the altar and left.
"This ......" The three national teachers standing at the top of the altar were speechless at this time, and this time they gathered the eminent monks from all over the Tang Dynasty, Quanzhen, and gathered the heads of Taoism and Buddhism. Such an auspicious cloud was created in order to show the two gods to Datang. So as to gain a greater voice. freed the two families from the dilemma of being suppressed by Li Er, but now they have provoked such a white tiger. It seems to be one of the four spirits in mythology, the Gengjin White Tiger!
"White Tiger...... This is Li Kuan, the king of Chu! Yuan Shoucheng exclaimed in surprise, they reacted in an instant, not only did they have the ability to pretend to be ghosts, but the one standing behind Li Kuan, the king of Chu, was also a mysterious and unpredictable hidden school, and this kind of trick did not seem to be the head of their family. But they never thought that Li Kuan would be able to make such a big battle. It was a game-changer for their sense of the secret art they had passed down from their home, because they had never imagined that they could do it in the first place. The purple qi coming 30,000 miles from the east and the Buddha country in the palm of the hand depicted on the piles of old papers that have been passed down from generation to generation seem to be all exaggerations, because no one has ever been able to show such divine might. But this time the appearance of this white tiger made them feel that everything seemed to be possible.
But such a miraculous thing did not come from their handiwork. It was in the hands of Li Kuan, the king of Chu, who was rushing towards the altar, because the white tiger was rushing towards them with red eyes at this time, and the huge tiger claws were so real, it seemed that they could be crushed into pulp as soon as they fell down, making them frightened and inexplicable. This is simply a fierce beast, and they want to jump off this altar like this, but they don't dare to do it, because they know that if they jump like this, there will be a high platform nine feet high below. It must have been smashed straight into meat sauce.
The tiger descended the mountain, shocking in all directions, and this white tiger pounced directly on the altar and stood on it. A grab falls.
"It's over......" The three old Taoist monks were desperate at this time. I couldn't help but close my eyes, as if waiting to be shot to death. But after a long time, I didn't feel the slightest pain, and I couldn't help but open my eyes.
"Long live Your Majesty......" when they opened their eyes. Suddenly, I heard a burst of shouting, and everyone under the altar was screaming selflessly. seems to be cheering for Li Er.
"This is ......" The three old Taoist monks opened their eyes and couldn't help but be stunned. Even Li Er had already walked to their side and didn't notice it, because above their heads, a ten-zhang divine dragon hovered high in the sky, and on the altar, the white tiger was majestic, roaring silently at the divine dragon in the sky, the tiger's head was high, and gusts of wind whistled at this moment, the clouds from the dragon, the wind from the tiger, the huge white tiger stood at the top of the altar of nine zhang five, and the four limbs grabbed the four corners of the altar, and the huge tiger tail twitched violently behind him, stirring up a tornado.
And in the sky, a divine dragon hovered, purple scales shimmering in the sunlight with noble colors, the huge dragon eyes revealed endless majesty, and the dragon's horns were like two sharp swords piercing into the sky, incomparably majestic. Beneath the sinuous dragon body, four huge eagle claws-like dragon claws stepped on auspicious clouds, and the dragon body hovered in the clouds, facing the white tiger below. For a while, no one cared about the altars and auspicious clouds of the two Buddhist and Taoist families, because the appearance of these two mythical beasts that were only in legends completely diverted everyone's attention.
"Okay, Kuan'er, all of this is done by the Datang National Master to pray for the blessing of the Tang Dynasty, what are you doing here?" Li Er stood in front of the three Tang Dynasty National Teachers, and shouted at Li Kuan, who was about to rush up under the altar.
"Father, these old cow-nosed and old bald donkeys are not at ease, my father knows that just now, they were standing in the clouds, and my father was holding a sacrificial text as if he had come to worship, this is simply insulting my Tang monarch! For such a rebellious person, why should the father intercede for him? Li Kuan replied loudly to Li Er below.
"I said stand down!" Li Er's eyes widened, and the dragon head of the divine dragon hovering in the sky cooperated, and the mouth like a huge cave opened, revealing the fangs like a sharp sword blade inside, and then a burst of purple cloud qi spewed out directly from the dragon's mouth. It seems to show that this is Li Er's anger. The two work together so seamlessly. It seems that the divine dragon soaring in the sky is the incarnation of Li Er.
"Father......" Li Kuan didn't want to retreat, only to see the white tiger on the altar looking up to the sky and roaring, and the pitch-black king character on the head of the white tiger was like a black hole, and at this time, as the white tiger stretched its neck, it looked even more hideous. The blood-colored fangs in the huge tiger's mouth were revealed, as if they were about to choose people to eat. This white tiger has completely become another identity representative of Li Kuan.
Such a strange scene made all the court officials in the distance of the altar, as well as the princes and grandsons, stunned, what is this? Could it really be that the gods have appeared? Such a huge white tiger, the divine dragon soaring in the sky, this is really Li Kuan, the king of Chu of the Tang Dynasty, is this really the saint of today? At this moment, everyone was fanatical, they were all bloodshot, red eyes, the Tang Dynasty destiny, because their emperor His Majesty is really the true dragon son of heaven, is it not the case, so how can the gods in the sky explain, although they can't hear the sound, they can only hear the conversation between His Majesty and His Royal Highness King He Chu, but the performance of the divine dragon and the white tiger is secretly in line with the development of all these things, which no one can deny. It was right that they didn't hear the sound, because it was the roar of the divine beast, and it would be strange if they mortals could hear it.
"Your Majesty...... The old minister is guilty! At this time, the three Tang Dynasty teachers who were rescued by Li Er from the mouth of the White Tiger reacted, and they hurriedly pleaded guilty to Li Er. Because they knew that all this in front of them was actually Li Er beating them, because they knew very well that this divine dragon and this white tiger were actually the same thing as the auspicious clouds they created, but they were more profound. But they knew but didn't dare to say it, because if they wanted to expose all this, then their auspicious clouds would be exposed first, and they would lose a lot. So now it is the most appropriate action to bow to Li Er. It is also the wisest choice, otherwise, they will face a monstrous disaster, and all the people of all the Buddhas and Taoists on this altar. These people are the spokespersons of the two families who are very famous in Datang, and if they are all lost here this time, it will definitely be a loss like breaking the bones.
"You Aiqing have worked hard for Datang, and you will never let you have anything to do!" Li Er said softly, and the divine dragon in the sky also nodded his head slightly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! The old minister will serve the Tang Dynasty to the death! Yuan Shoucheng first said that he knew that Li Er must have saved his mind to subdue them this time, but now for the sake of the overall situation, they have to agree with Li Er's all the requirements, although they may not have to worry about their lives if they don't agree, but the two families of Buddhism and Taoism may be more difficult to inherit and develop. It's just that what they can't figure out is why Li Kuan, the king of Chu, actually stood aside with Li Er this time, and all the news they got was that Li Er had always been afraid of Li Kuan's division behind him, so there would be absolutely no possibility of cooperation between these two people.
But they didn't know that Li Kuan's biggest secret had already been told to Li Er, which made Li Er completely let go of his suspicion of Li Kuan, and because of Li Kuan's magical ability, Li Er was even more interested in Li Kuan, at least what Li Kuan wanted to do now, Li Er even if he felt that it was unreasonable, but he would also consider it carefully, if it did not affect Datang's roots, he would agree, instead of being vigilant everywhere as before, as long as it was slightly detrimental to the interests of Datang, he would directly deny it, afraid that scientists would take the opportunity to be unfavorable to Datang.
So this time, Li Kuan quietly came to Li Er's dragon before the ceremony to ask for a meeting, although Li Er was puzzled, but he still agreed to Li Kuan's suggestion, and gave Li Kuan the power to act at the opportunity. Sure enough, when Li Er ascended the altar, the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism played tricks to oppress Li Er psychologically, all of which coincided with Li Kuan's guess, so that Li Er made up his mind to beat the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism.
