Chapter 276: The First Hearing of the Journey to the West, Demon Ancestor Rahu
Although Yuan Tiangang seems to have a good relationship with Li Shimin and is considered Li Shimin's confidant, sometimes it depends on the situation, and there are some things that Yuan Tiangang can't tell Li Shimin the truth at all, just like Li Shimin can't really dig out his heart and lungs with his courtiers.
After all, the relationship between the monarch and the minister is the relationship between the monarch and the minister, the emperor's power is too great, a word determines life and death, and doing things depends on his own likes and dislikes, who can guarantee that the emperor will not mess around?
For example, in terms of cultivation, Yuan Tiangang didn't tell Li Shimin the truth, there are indeed many cultivators who may retreat for several years or even decades at a time, but those are all top cultivators or even immortals, not low-level cultivators.
It's not that the emperor can't practice, which of the three emperors and five emperors is not a powerful existence, but as the country and the world become the family, the king's cultivation is limited to the mortal level.
Especially after Qin Shi Huang ruled the six countries, he set the title of emperor, which directly opposed the existence of the Jade Emperor! If you look at the Qin Dynasty, whether it is Shang or Zhou, it is only the Son of Heaven, who is the king, which one dares to be the emperor!
They don't know that the title of emperor is possible? But they didn't dare, but Yingzheng swelled, got the inheritance of the ancient witch clan, thought that he was not weaker than the heavenly court, and changed the title of the leader of the mortal world to the emperor.
Ying Zheng's attempt to establish a heavenly court on earth, rule the human world forever, and even want to divide and rule the Three Realms with the heavenly court, completely angered many great powers, and joined forces to destroy the powerful Qin Dynasty!
However, the things that have been done cannot be taken back, the title of emperor has been decided, the way of heaven has been recognized, and the Jade Emperor has no choice, so he can only restrict the emperor of the mortal world, what kind of monarchy is divinely granted, the emperor is also known as the Son of Heaven, he is the ruler of the world recognized by the heavenly court, the emperor has dragon qi to protect the body, and the cultivator faces the dragon qi, and his cultivation will be suppressed for most of the time, etc......
It is not so much that the heavenly court protects the mortal world and the human race, but that the Jade Emperor is limiting the power of the human world, especially the strength of the emperor! Dragon Qi is only a protection of the Heavenly Dao to the ruler, not a restriction.
After all, the human race is a natural Dao body, the darling of the Heavenly Dao, how could it be inexplicably suppressing the human race? It's just that the Jade Emperor, the titular master of the Three Realms, doesn't allow anyone to threaten him and spread rumors!
It is impossible for a top-level power to help a mortal for no reason, even if he is an emperor, helping the human emperor to cultivate, except for a lot of cause and effect, karma, it will not do them any good.
And there is also Dao Ancestor on it, the Jade Emperor is the boy of Dao Ancestor, there is no need to provoke Heavenly Court for no reason, after all, Heavenly Court is nominally the master of the Three Realms designated by Dao Ancestor.
As for ordinary cultivators, they were all under the jurisdiction of the Jade Emperor, so how could they not follow the rules of the Jade Emperor? Some people don't know why, while others do, but don't dare to say!
For example, this Yuan Tiangang, he knows these doorways clearly, but he doesn't dare to mess around! Joining the imperial court, firstly, is the request of the great power behind it, and secondly, it is also to earn some merit for yourself!
For the delusion of an emperor, it is not worth losing one's future or even one's life!
The reason why Yuan Tiangang participated in Li Linfeng's private banquet was not because of Li Linfeng's identity, nor because Li Linfeng was currently valued by Li Shimin, but because of Li Linfeng's cultivation.
You must know that when he checked not long ago, Li Linfeng had just stepped into the path of cultivation, but it had only been a few months, and when this prince went out, the dragon qi on his body was instantly so thin that it was invisible, but his cultivation exceeded the efforts of ordinary cultivators for hundreds of years or even a lifetime!
What's more important is that Yuan Tiangang, who is very confident in his own divination, can't figure out where Li Linfeng's cultivation came from this time, let alone the person behind Li Linfeng, as if everything is blank!
If it weren't for Li Linfeng's ability to disrupt the heavens and help Li Linfeng cover up, Yuan Tiangang would dare to bet with his own hands! Therefore, Li Linfeng's invitation, he must participate!
"Wechen see His Highness!"
"Lord Yuan doesn't have to be polite, please take a seat!"
"Thank you, Your Highness! Your Highness has been out for just a few months, and what a change has been! ”
Li Linfeng wanted to consult Yuan Tiangang about something, and Yuan Tiangang wanted to make friends with Li Linfeng, the two were terrifying at first sight, although there was no intersection, but after a few words of greeting, they were like good friends from childhood to adulthood!
If you want to ask Yuan Tiangang why he wants to befriend Li Linfeng, it's very simple!
First, Li Linfeng is the prince of Li Tang, and his status in the mortal world is respected, and Li Tang is a heavenly dynasty on earth, prosperous and prosperous, and the country's fortunes are prosperous, and he is so cultivated that he must walk the existence of the world, how can he not make friends?
Second, Li Linfeng was able to improve his cultivation so quickly, either he was reincarnated by the power of the Heavenly Court, or he was a demon with qualifications, and he was valued by the power of the hidden world!
Although this Nine Emperor Princes will definitely not be able to inherit the Tang Dynasty in the future because he has stepped into the cultivation world, as long as he lives, then his voice in the Tang Dynasty will not be low!
After the two chatted for a long time, Li Linfeng finally took the lead in saying his purpose: "Lord Yuan, in fact, this king invited you to come this time, in addition to wanting to get acquainted with a talented and hard-working talent like Lord Yuan, there are also some things I want to ask Lord Yuan!" ”
Regarding Li Linfeng's behavior of entertaining him as soon as he came back, Yuan Tiangang was not a stupid person, he had already guessed something, so he didn't shirk it: "I dare not be ashamed, Your Highness, please say ......."
Li Linfeng looked at Yuan Tiangang, who looked unsurprised, and his heart was also clear, and he asked directly: "I wonder if Lord Yuan has heard about the road to the west and the eastward transmission of Buddhist scriptures?" ”
Originally, Yuan Tiangang thought that Li Linfeng would ask him about the affairs of the imperial court or the cultivation world, and even ask him for divination, but he didn't expect Li Linfeng to ask this question at all.
Yuan Tiangang's first thought was that the power behind Li Linfeng wanted to participate in the westward journey, and it may even be that he wanted to sabotage the westward journey, because Li Linfeng's exercises were obviously Taoist exercises, not fluctuations in Buddhist exercises.
After thinking for a moment, Yuan Tiangang said tentatively: "This matter has been heard by Wei Chen, but the stakes are very high, and almost all the great powers of the Three Realms are involved, Your Highness...... It's better not to wade into this troubled water! ”
Hearing Yuan Tiangang's answer, Li Linfeng instantly understood that Yuan Tiangang must know a lot of secrets, but he couldn't just let Yuan Tiangang explain everything in 1510, so he had to nod.
Then while calming Yuan Tiangang's heart, he said with a little curiosity: "Lord Yuan, don't worry, this king is not the kind of person who doesn't know the heavens and the earth, but I heard about it by chance, and I was a little curious......
"What is Your Highness curious about?"
"The Central Plains has always been, although there are many Taoist inheritances in the world, but almost all of them are Taoist worlds, and the Sanqing saints are even more supreme, why would they suddenly allow Western Buddhism to preach the Central Plains?" Li Linfeng asked directly.
After listening to Li Linfeng's question, Yuan Tiangang sighed: "This ...... The specific situation is not clear, but there was such a rumor, saying that the Central Plains is the place where heaven and earth gather luck, and Western Buddhism has great merit in suppressing and destroying the world's great demons, so there is a matter of Buddhism spreading eastward! ”
"The Great Demon of the World? The big devil in Journey to the West? No, no, lawlessness is not qualified enough, and ...... That seems to be the big boss in the sequel to Journey to the West! ”
"What other big demons? The Blood Sea Ancestor and the like are even less qualified, and the demons who can make Taoist Sanqing pinch their noses and recognize the spread of Buddhism to the east are in the West...... Could it be...... Demon Ancestor Rahu? ”
