"Thank you for saving me!"

Seeing the demon monkey being killed, the people below knelt down one after another.

Especially the group of people who were swallowed and spit out, kowtowing very hard, no one was more pious than them, because Lu Li was their savior.

"No need to be polite!" The immortal in the sky is Lu Li, and the demon monkey is the embodiment of hair.

Lu Li was empty, and the people below suddenly felt a force add to their bodies, and their bodies couldn't help but stand up.

Seeing Lu Li's divine power, everyone present couldn't help but be convinced.

No matter how powerful the immortal is, it is always out of reach, and the immortal in front of him saved his life, who does he believe if he doesn't believe it?

The prestige of the White Horse Temple has plummeted today.

"The demons have been removed, and you can disperse." After Lu Li finished speaking, he immediately disappeared into the air.

Palace.

An old man in a bright yellow dragon robe sat in the room and pondered, the entire hall was empty, and only a few palace maids and eunuchs served on the side.

The old man was about sixty or seventy years old, and there was a hint of nobility between his eyebrows, and he was frowning deeply at this time, not knowing what to think.

This person is the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who has reigned for more than 30 years, has been conscientious, has no great merit, and has no fault, and has a high reputation among the people.

Tang Huang has no other troubles, although demons are rampant now, but it can't affect anything, and small foreign countries are not a climate, and it doesn't pose much threat to the country.

The only thing that bothered him was the problem of Buddhism.

Buddhism has flourished over the decades, and there are more than 1,000 temples across the country, which occupy a vast area and do not pay taxes.

This was a great loss to the imperial court, and many of the gentry attached their land to temples as a way to avoid taxes, which was again a great loss.

Although the imperial court has issued relevant decrees to stop it, the tax is still the same, and the Tang Emperor knows that the land should be concealed.

A small Buddhist temple alone does not have such energy, probably because of collusion with local officials.

In the final analysis, the roots are still in the Buddhist temples.

Emperor Tang wanted to cancel it, but he knew that it was impossible, and this move would definitely touch the interests of most people and cause even more chaos.

Buddhism has become a big trend, but now it is impossible to lose it.

Whenever he reveals the idea of raising taxes, the demons in Shenzhou are in turmoil again.

He vaguely knew what happened during the reign of his ancestors, who were a hard-nosed man who was determined to eradicate the troubles of Buddhism as soon as he succeeded him.

It's a pity that there was a rebellion in the southwest that year, which disrupted the plans of the ancestors.

Moreover, several times the imperial court crusaded against the army had no effect, and the rebels had a faint tendency to divide the territory, and it was rumored that the rebels had Buddhism behind them.

If it weren't for a great strategist who killed the dragon qi of the Son of Heaven in the southwest, maybe there would be no Tang Dynasty now.

"Buddhism, one day you will be uprooted." Emperor Tang had a hint of hatred in his eyes.

"Poor Dao Xuanli is willing to serve His Majesty!"

Suddenly, a sound woke up Emperor Tang.

Emperor Tang looked back and saw a young Taoist wearing a silver gossip robe and a purple gold yin and yang crown standing behind him.

"Who are you?" Emperor Tang glanced around and found that the palace maids and eunuchs around him were oblivious to this.

"I am from the Daomen, and I am here to solve problems for Your Majesty." Lu Li smiled gently, and his whole body emitted a faint white light, really like an immortal in the sky.

Emperor Tang smiled reluctantly and said, "The Immortal Chief must have made a mistake, I have the world, so why bother?" Please leave quickly! ”

His neck was a little cold, judging from this situation, if the other party really wanted to kill him, then he would definitely not be able to run.

"Isn't Your Majesty worried about the affairs of Buddhism?" Lu Li seemed to be smiling, "If this continues, I'm afraid that the Tang Dynasty will not be surnamed Li." ”

Tang Huang's pupils shrank, and he said in a deep voice: "What do you want to do?" ”

"I'm really here to solve problems for Your Majesty, has Your Majesty heard of Yuan Tiangang? Poor Dao was entrusted by him. Lu Li said.

Immediately took out a jade plaque from his arms, which was the token passed down by Yuan Tiangang when he was in Qintianjian, representing Qintianjian Zheng.

Seeing the unique pattern on it, as well as Yuan Tiangang's name, Tang Huang believed it in his heart.

"What is the opinion of the Immortal Chief?"

"It's very simple, that is, to support the Taoist gate and replace the Buddhist gate."

Emperor Tang smiled bitterly when he heard this, isn't this driving wolves and tigers.

Lu Li seemed to know Emperor Tang's inner thoughts, so he smiled and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, Daomen likes to live in seclusion in famous mountains and rivers, and will not build temples in the world, nor will they interfere in the world." Poor Dao hereby assures His Majesty that if the Taoist temple has land, then it will also pay rent as usual. ”

Tang Huang was silent in thought, and Lu Li took out a jade box. The box contains a clear elixir.

"Your Majesty, this pill is an elixir that prolongs life, and the life span can reach 100 years old when taken it."

The moment the Taiyin Refining Pill was taken out, the room was suddenly filled with incense, and Emperor Tang only took a sip, and immediately felt that his body was extremely light, and his strength had increased a lot.

Holding the pill in his hand, Emperor Tang carefully observed it for a while.

Then under Lu Li's gaze, he swallowed it hard, and now his life is in the hands of others, even if it is, he has to swallow it.

The moment he swallowed it, Lu Li unleashed a warm mana to help him refine it.

Tang Huang closed his eyes, only feeling a warm current flowing in his abdomen.

"Good elixir!" Tang Huang opened his eyes and immediately looked at the mirror on the side.

The wrinkles on the face disappear at a rate visible to the naked eye, and the hair becomes jet-black.

It used to be an old man in his sixties and seventies, but now he is a middle-aged man in his forties.

Not only that, but he felt that he was back to the peak of his twenties in all aspects of his body, and he would have no problem living another fifty or sixty years.

Thinking of this, Emperor Tang bowed deeply to Lu Li: "Thank you Immortal Elder for giving the pill." ”

"That's as it should be!" Lu Li nodded, "What is Your Majesty thinking about?" ”

"Then according to what the Immortal Chief said!" Emperor Tang was ruthless and decided to do it.

Unlike Buddhism, the people in the Taoist Gate disdain to participate in worldly affairs and are keen to live in seclusion in famous mountains and rivers.

This is much better than Buddhism, the conditions of the famous mountains and rivers are difficult, ordinary people do not stay there for a long time, and there is no land on it, even if all are rewarded to them, it will have no effect on the imperial court.

Besides, Lu Li also made a promise, and the Taoist temple still pays taxes, which opens a tax source for the imperial court in vain, so why not do it.

Next.

In the early dynasties, the Tang Emperor ignored the opposition of his ministers, established Taoism as the state religion, and honored Lu Li as the great master of the country, and rewarded the White Horse Temple outside the city, as well as Longhu Mountain, Mao Mountain, Gesoap Mountain and other mountains.

However, Lu Li did not go to the three mountains of reward, but settled in the White Horse Temple, which has been renamed Baiyun Temple outside the city, and did not detach himself from the world.

For a time, the undercurrent of the world was surging, and countless people came to learn the Tao.

At the same time, Lu Li also governed his body in the way of others.

Many Buddhist temples have been surrounded by demons and demons......
