Chapter 15: Gathering in the Heavenly Realm

South Zhanbu Zhou, Chang'an City.

Lu Fengqiu was walking outside, although it was only three days, but more than a year had passed in the world.

This is also because Donghua Mountain is located in the human realm, not in the Buddha realm and the heavenly realm.

Today, the Tang Dynasty dominates the Southern Zhanbu Continent.

Tang Taizong Li Shimin established the Tang Dynasty again, and now he is not Taizong, but the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Although the country name is still Datang, the former Tang Dynasty has been destroyed more than 20 years ago.

Li Shimin is determined to be the emperor of the world comparable to the three emperors and five emperors.

There is no precedent like Li Shimin in history.

When he was a mortal, he made an emperor once.

After having mana, he ascended again.

Originally, according to the meaning of the important ministers of the imperial court, Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, should be referred to in this temple number.

After all, there are similarities between the two, when the Western Han Dynasty was usurped by Wang Mang, and Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, reunified Middle Earth.

Now, the Tang Dynasty has been destroyed by Zhu Wen, and Li Shimin has re-ascended to the pole and should be called Emperor Guangwu of the Tang Dynasty.

But Li Shimin, as the founder of the glory of the Tang Dynasty, of course would not accept this title, so he called himself the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

On this day, Li Shimin was sitting in the palace of diligence and cultivation, and cabinet minister Li Shenguang walked in and handed Li Shimin an excerpt.

Li Shenguang is a capable subordinate that Li Shimin has cultivated long ago, and it is also the blood of his Li family.

Now he is an important minister of the Tang Cabinet.

Li Shenguang has white hair and is already a sixty-year-old man, but he looks much more energetic than ordinary old people.

Although Li Shenguang is a mortal, he also has a rough cultivation method, and he followed Li Shimin to cultivate when he was a child, and it is not a problem to live for more than a hundred years.

"Your Majesty, the enlightenment of the twelve states of Middle-earth has begun to bear fruit, but if the land is sparsely populated today, the people here in Middle-earth are not very willing to leave their homeland and take root in the other twenty-four states."

Li Shenguang said respectfully.

Li Shimin looked at the excerpt, bowed his head slightly, groaned slightly, and then said: "Shenguang, the means should be gentle, there is no shortage of displaced people in the twelve states, you can increase the resettlement efforts to attract these displaced people to the other twenty-four states, of course, the most important thing is the choice of the governor of each state." ”

"It has been more than two years since the reunification of the Nanzhan Continent, and the wartime policy should also be ended, and the pacification work in various places cannot rely on those generals to do it, and civilian officials must be sent to take charge of the people's livelihood in various places."

"In the final analysis, we still need talents, talents in all aspects."

Li Shenguang raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, there are already a lot of students who have been trained in the Twelve Prefectures of National Studies over the years who can take charge of themselves, although there are still some gaps, but we can grit our teeth and insist on persevering." “

Li Shimin bowed his head slightly and said, "I know, you go down." ”

Li Shenguang said: "The minister retired." ”

The hall fell into silence again.

After Li Shimin re-ascended the throne, the palace rarely let eunuchs wait.

He didn't even choose a harem.

He is now immortal, and he is not in a hurry to create a villain to inherit his throne.

Be good to him, and good to future generations, so as not to cause some unnecessary disputes in the palace.

Li Shimin is embarrassed, many things are easy to say, but it is a little difficult to put them into practice.

He practiced with his master for 300 years.

Three hundred years of teaching has given Li Shimin a lot of deep understanding of Lu Fengqiu, and his respect for Lu Fengqiu is not only from Lu Fengqiu, so that he can live forever in this world.

It's more because of Lu Fengqiu's good policies for governing the world.

History is like a long river, in the spring and autumn of the past three hundred years, the Tang Dynasty has turned from prosperity to decline, and finally to extinction.

Li Shimin reflected a lot, how to govern from the bottom to the top, how to let the people live and work in peace and contentment, he was influenced a lot by Lu Fengqiu.

Lu Fengqiu once asked him how he would transform the Tang Dynasty if he was allowed to regain the throne.

Li Shimin knew where the root of the problem was, but he couldn't deal with it for a while.

In the end, Lu Fengqiu said eight words to him, take it from the people and use it for the people.

After Li Shimin reascended the throne, he had extinguished the desires of many mortals, and his greatest vision was to open the Tang Dynasty for peace for all generations.

At the beginning of Li Shimin's ascension to the throne, he established Mengshe throughout the country, so that not only children should be literate, but also ordinary people should be literate.

This is the literacy policy taught to him by Lu Fengqiu, and the family's resistance that existed in the past has long since disappeared with the years.

It has been almost 20 years since the reunification of the Tang Dynasty.

The original Datang was divided into 12 states, so it was called the 12 states of Middle Earth.

In recent years, the places that have just been incorporated into the territory of the Tang Dynasty have been divided into 24 states.

Today's Datang has a total of 36 states.

In addition to solving the basic survival problems of the people in the 36 states, it is also necessary to eradicate illiteracy.

Let everyone be literate, everyone can read, and everyone has a field to plant, this is the basic national policy of Datang.

The 36 states of the Tang Dynasty must have Chinese culture everywhere, and Chinese culture is a higher institution of learning above Mongolian learning.

There are no tuition and fees, no books, and various poverty grants.

Li Shimin has put into practice the skills he has learned in the past 300 years.

A new empire is emerging.

Li Shimin knows that the future of Datang must be brilliant.

As the Emperor of the Apocalypse, he is destined to become an emperor who has never been seen before or since.

This kind of merit is what Li Shimin dreams of as a king.

Just when Li Shimin was imagining the future, two divine lights suddenly appeared in the Qinzheng Palace.

Li Shimin was not surprised, three hundred years of cultivation had already made his heart like a peaceful lake, and no matter what kind of things he encountered, there would not be too many changes.

What's more, the person who came was Lu Fengqiu.

Well? Who is standing next to the Master?

Li Shimin stood up and his eyes fell on Nezha's body.

"Erlang has seen Shizun."

Li Shimin and Lu Fengqiu greeted each other, although he was the emperor, he couldn't be rude in the face of Lu Fengqiu.

Lu Fengqiu smiled: "Erlang, don't be polite. ”

"I will introduce you to the teacher, this is Nezha, the great god of the Three Altars of the Sea Society of Heaven."

When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "It turned out to be Nezha." ”

Nezha gave a salute to Li Shimin, Li Shimin is now in charge of Nanzhan Buzhou, purely from this level, Li Shimin's merits are comparable to the previous emperors.

Li Shimin also does not consider himself to be the Son of Heaven.

He has been taught by Lu Fengqiu for many years, and he knows a lot of things in heaven and earth, and he also knows what Lu Fengqiu is doing now.

Therefore, he will not think that he is the Son of Heaven, if according to the Mandate of Heaven, Datang would have already finished his calf, and he would have already burped.

Therefore, if the mandate of heaven must be changed, it must be changed, otherwise you will not be able to get along with yourself.

"The emperor unifies the Southern Zhanbu Continent, the merits are immeasurable, what is the need for me, although the emperor speaks, I Nezha can't do anything else, but it is still possible to attack the city and plunder the land, subdue the demons and eliminate the demons."

Nezha said from the side.

When Li Shimin heard this, he smiled and said, "Nezha is polite, if there is anything that needs your help, I will definitely speak." ”

"Master, there are still ten years left before the thirty-three years."

"According to my inference, these ten years can allow the thirty-six states of Nanzhan to be completely annexed."

Li Shimin said to Lu Fengqiu.

Lu Fengqiu bowed slightly, and said, "Erlang, the general direction remains the same, and the specific details still need to be controlled by you." ”

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Erlang understands." ”

Lu Fengqiu said: "Well, you just have a number in your heart, if there is a problem that can't be solved, you can come to me." ”

Li Shimin said: "Understood." ”

……

Lu Fengqiu took Nezha to live in Chang'an.

Nezha followed Lu Xiaohua around Chang'an City every day.

Don't look at Nezha, who has lived for tens of thousands of years, but he loves to play very much, and he smells the same as Lu Xiaohua.

Without the constraints of Tiantiao and Li Jing's care, Nezha completely let go of himself.

On this day, news reached Li Shimin's ears that the Tang Frontier was attacked by a kraken, killing and wounding many soldiers, and even the cultivators of Qingyun Dao also died.

So, Li Shimin sent someone to ask Nezha to help.

Lu Fengqiu pinched his fingers and knew the reason for the incident, and asked Lu Xiaohua and Nezha to go together.

The troublemaker was the nine-headed worm, the son-in-law of the Ten Thousand Saints Dragon King in Bibotan.

The nine-headed insect pretended to be a lawless subordinate and caused wind and rain in the West Sea, hurting the people of the Tang Dynasty.

With Lu Fengqiu's identity, there is really no need to take action in person.

Although the nine-headed insect is a big monster, it can't please Lu Xiaohua and Nezha when they join forces.

Lu Xiaohua has been cultivating for nearly a thousand years now, and has swallowed so many heavenly and earthly treasures and elixirs.

After Lu Fengqiu broke Da Luo, she passed on her orthodox cultivation method.

Lu Xiaohua's current methods are not bad at all.

Instead of letting her stay in Chang'an and Nezha to do nothing all day long, wandering around the streets and eating this and that, it is better to let them do something serious.

……

Time flies, and years pass in the blink of an eye.

Lu Fengqiu practiced and meditated all day in the Qingyun Dojo in Chang'an, not asking about the world.

The Gross National Happiness Index of the Tang Empire is rising in an orderly manner.

Nezha and Lu Xiaohua went out and leveled the nine-headed worm.

During this period, there were no big demons in the other three states who dared to be presumptuous in Nanzhan Buzhou.

We all know that Nanzhan Buzhou is very different from before, and when the Three Realms are in turmoil, many monsters with brains have chosen to lie dormant honestly.

As for those who have no brains, they have already lost their lives.

On this day, after Lu Fengqiu swallowed the clouds, he opened his eyes, and the thirty-three years period had reached the final moment.

There is still half a year left.

Lu Fengqiu left from Chang'an with Nezha and headed for the Asura Realm.

learned that Lu Fengqiu was going to rescue the gods of the Heavenly Court who were imprisoned in the Asura Realm.

Nezha was still a little reluctant in his heart.

It's really uncomfortable to be disciplined.

released the gods of the heavenly court, and he, Li Nezha, is going to return to the original state again.

Lu Fengqiu looked at Nezha's dejected face, and couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, this matter will be resolved satisfactorily." ”

Nezha said: "How to solve it?" ”

Lu Fengqiu looked at the sky, and then said, "If the Heavenless Buddha can defeat the Heavenly Dao, then the gods of this Heavenly Court will also stay away from this world. ”

"When the time comes, you can choose to stay, or you can choose to leave with the gods."

When Nezha heard this, he said in disbelief: "The gods have left this world? How could the Jade Emperor agree? ”

Lu Fengqiu smiled slightly and said, "Nezha, do you think the Jade Emperor is mediocre?" ”

Nezha glanced left and right and said, "Real person, if this was put in the past, I wouldn't dare to answer you." ”

"However, now that the Jade Emperor has not been released, I can talk to you."

"The Jade Emperor is indeed a little mediocre."

Lu Fengqiu said: "Actually, whether it's mediocre or shrewd, the system of the Three Realms should have changed somewhat." ”

"The gods of the Heavenly Court have enjoyed this earthly incense for too long, so it is better to take this opportunity to let them leave here completely."

Nezha seemed to have guessed something, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide, and said, "Real person, do you want to come to the Jedi Tiantong again?" ”

The last time the Jedi Heavenly Pass of the Zhuan Clan completely cut off the path of the heavenly realm and the earth.

But this time, Nezha seemed to sense that Qingyunzi wanted to completely drive the gods of the Heavenly Court out of the Three Realms.

Lu Fengqiu smiled and said, "I can only say that the gods and Buddhas should not be high, since they don't do anything, then leave." ”

"The order of the Three Realms is operating, and the immortal Buddhas who are idle and have nothing to do should go where they can cool down."

Nezha opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Regarding the departure and stay of the gods of the Heavenly Court, Lu Fengqiu thought about it for a long time.

Once the Three Realms are reshaped, there is still no need for the Heavenly Court and the Buddha Realm to exist.

Is it better to have a godless world or a godless world?

Lu Fengqiu felt that the creatures of the Three Realms might not be able to coexist peacefully, but some sense of superiority had to be broken.

But these are all based on the fact that no law can change the world before it can be realized.

If Wutian can't change the heavens and the earth, then the Heavenly Dao of the Three Realms will definitely pull everything back to the original historical trajectory.

Even the re-established Datang will disappear.

This is what the Heavenly Order hates about it, everything is done according to the process, and if there is a BUG, it will be fixed by itself.

Therefore, at this moment, Lu Fengqiu really hoped that Wutian could change the heavens and the earth, and not let these three realms fall into the shroud of the Heavenly Dao Certainty again.

……

When Lu Fengqiu and Nezha hadn't reached the Asura realm yet.

Lu Fengqiu suddenly said, "Nezha, it seems that we don't need to go to the Asura Realm. ”

When Nezha heard this, he said with some doubts: "Why is this?" ”

Lu Fengqiu said with a smile: "Someone has already taken the lead and pulled out the gods of the Heavenly Court before us. ”

When Nezha heard this, his eyes rolled and he said, "Could it be Wukong?" ”

Lu Fengqiu bowed slightly, and said, "It's indeed him." ”

Taishang Laojun had already sent him a message just now, so he could know that the gods of Heavenly Court had been rescued at the first time.

"So where do we go next?"

Nezha asked.

Lu Fengqiu said with a smile: "Where to go, of course go to the Lingxiao Treasure Palace." ”

Nezha said: "Lingxiao Treasure Palace? ”

Lu Fengqiu nodded and said, "The Lingxiao Treasure Hall is built on top of the Nine Heavens and has great power. ”

"The Heavenless Buddha is cutting down the Heavenly Dao in the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, and he can use the power of the Lingxiao Treasure Palace."

When Nezha heard this, she bowed slightly, it was the first time she knew that the Lingxiao Treasure Hall still had this effect.

Lu Fengqiu said: "Let's go, this big battle is related to the fate of the Three Realms." ”

"We've been tossing and turning for thirty-three years, and it's time for a result."

With that, the two turned into streamers and flew towards the Lingxiao Treasure Palace.

……

Heavenly Realm, Heavenly Treasure Palace.

Under the leadership of Sun Wukong, a group of heavenly gods began to counterattack the clarion call of the heavenly realm.

The heavenly realm is occupied by Wutian's men, and the four gates and three palaces are guarded.

However, this time, Qiao Ling'er was not locked up in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall by Wutian.

After Guanyin Bodhisattva returned to Lingshan, he told Wutian the news of Qiao Ling'er, but he didn't pay attention to Qiao Ling'er at all.

Let Qiao Ling'er walk in the mortal world.

……

Just when Lu Fengqiu and Nezha arrived and rushed to the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, a parting of life and death was being staged in the Buzhou Mountain.

Gonggong passed on his life's skills to Biyou.

Unlike in the original play, Biyou followed Sun Wukong to the Asura Realm to save people and died in the Asura Realm.

Biyou's soul floated to Buzhou Mountain, and was reunited by Gonggong with Nine Heavens Rest Soil and Three Light Divine Water.

At this time, the co-workers were already full of gray hair and looked like they were going to die.

When Biyou saw the appearance of the co-worker, she couldn't help but feel sad and knelt down in front of the co-worker.

Biyou sobbed and said, "Great God...... How so? ”

With a smile in his eyes, the co-worker said, "Biyou, this is my fixed number, don't you want to know why I saved you?" ”

Biyou's crying pear blossoms brought rain and kept nodding.

A smile spread across Gonggong's wrinkled face, and he said, "You should already know that you are the reincarnation of Houtu. ”

"But you don't know that I am the father of Houtu, who ruled the earth in ancient times, and later turned into the Netherworld, I was trapped in Buzhou Mountain, and I haven't seen her for many years."

"Now, when you come to Buzhou Mountain to see me, it can be regarded as my wish."

When Bi You heard this, he immediately cried even more.

She finally understood why the co-workers she met for the first time wanted to pass on her life's work to herself.

It turned out that Gonggong was actually Houtu's father.

And she, as the reincarnation of Houtu, is to some extent the incarnation of Houtu, and Gonggong sees her as a daughter.

Biyou didn't expect it to be such an ending.

She thought that a great god like Gonggong would not die at all, and there would be no problem in passing on some mana to her, who knew that it would be such an ending.

The co-workers were very sad to see Bi You crying to the end, and couldn't help laughing: "Silly child, don't cry. ”

"I'm going to die, but I can finally get out of this cage, it's not a bad thing for me, you should be happy for me."

"Although I have passed on my life's strength to you, the Three Realms are dangerous, and in this tribulation, mana alone is far from enough."

"I've already found a way back for you, after Zhou Shan leaves, you can find a real person called Qingyunzi in Heavenly Court."

"If you don't want Qiao Ling'er to leave you, help Qingyunzi."

"Qiao Ling'er is the reincarnation of Rulai, once Rulai returns, then Qiao Ling'er will never exist."

"That's all I can help you with."

"Go, good boy, you and I are finished."

After saying this, the physical body of the co-worker completely dissipated.

Biyou watched the co-workers leave, but there was no way at all.

She had no parents since she was a child, and was later accepted as an apprentice by Emperor Donghua, who was her master and gave her a lot of love.

But in the short time she spent with Gonggong, she could feel that Gonggong's care for her was no worse than that of Emperor Donghua.

She is the reincarnation of Houtu, and Gonggong is her father.

Bi You looked at the empty Buzhou Mountain, full of sadness, wrapped a handful of soil in a handkerchief, and then left Buzhou Mountain.

……

When Lu Fengqiu and Nezha appeared in the Heavenly Realm, they didn't have long to go, and they saw the gods of the Heavenly Court, Tang Sanzang's master and apprentice, Qiao Ling'er and others all gathered in front.

I only heard Tang Sanzang say: "Wukong, the four gates and three palaces are all occupied by Wutian's subordinates, and we must knock down the four gates and three palaces." ”

Sun Wukong said from the side: "Zhenyuan Daxian, what do you think? ”

I saw Zhen Yuanzi on the side and said: "Wukong, in fact, since the reincarnation of the Buddha is in our hands, we don't have to attack the heavenly court, we just need to wait for Wutian to destroy itself." ”

Sun Wukong said: "Great Immortal, only sixteen of the seventeen relics have been found now, although Ling'er is in our hands, but there is no seventeenth relic, how can we welcome back the Buddha." ”

"This seventeenth relic has not been missing, and once the deadline has passed, the Buddha will not be able to return."

"I suspect that this seventeenth relic has been taken away by Wutian."

"Moreover, Lingshan is occupied by Wutian, if we can't defeat Wutian, then we won't be able to save the saints of the Buddha Realm."

"Now, Guanyin Bodhisattva has taken refuge in Wutian, if it continues like this, I don't know how many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the Buddha world will be bewitched by Wutian."

"In that case, we can only fight and go and fight Wutian head-on."

"Now that the gods of the Heavenly Court have returned, if they can't defeat Wutian with the power of the gods, then the Three Realms will be completely hopeless."

Zhenyuan Daxian wanted to speak and stopped.

He became friendly with Nyolai, and when Nyolai was in charge of the Three Realms, he often invited him to listen to Buddhist meetings.

The ancient Buddha passed away, and the relics were also handed over to him for safekeeping.

There are many things he actually knows.

For example, as long as the thirty-three year period is up, the way of heaven will return to the truth, and you don't need those seventeen relics, and you can return to it if you come.

It's just that Zhen Yuanzi can't explain all these things to Sun Wukong now.

Because once he tells the truth, it ruins the arrangement of Rulai.

If Sun Wukong knew that the sixteen relics he had worked so hard to find were irrelevant, then Sun Wukong would not be allowed to go out of the Buddha realm.

If you have worked hard for hundreds of years, you will have the great prosperity of the Buddha world today.

If Sun Wukong reverses the Buddha realm, it will be a big deal.

Because Sun Wukong is the seventeenth ancestor of ten thousand Buddhas appointed by Rulai, if Sun Wukong betrays the Buddha world, then the ancient Buddha of the lamp will have to return and take the position of the ancestor of ten thousand Buddhas, which is something that Rulai does not want to see.

Although he is the ancestor of the earth immortals, he is really deeply involved with the Buddha realm.

There are some things he can't do.

Once you do that, you run the risk of having a bad relationship with Rulai.

As a last resort, he didn't want to have a bad relationship with Rulai.

Therefore, now that Sun Wukong is in a hurry to attack Heaven and make a final decisive battle with Wutian, Zhen Yuanzi is in a dilemma.

Because he knew that Wutian was going to fight against the Heavenly Dao in the Lingxiao Treasure Palace.

If Wutian can defeat the Heavenly Dao, the Three Realms will change the heavens and the earth.

Even if it returns, it will not be able to compete with lawlessness.

But in Zhen Yuanzi's opinion, the chance of Wutian being able to defeat the Heavenly Dao was too small.

He knows how strong the Heavenly Dao is.

He is the ancestor of the earth immortals, and has existed since the beginning of the world.

It is precisely because he has lived for a long time that he knows how terrifying the Heavenly Dao is.

Therefore, the final result is very likely to be that Wutian is destroyed by the Heavenly Dao.

If he returns as usual and regains control of the Three Realms, the Buddha Realm has flourished ever since.

Zhen Yuanzi has a lot of thoughts in his heart, and he can't explain it to everyone, so it's not easy to persuade Sun Wukong to do anything.

Sun Wukong saw that Zhen Yuanzi didn't object anymore, so he immediately said: "Okay, since everyone agrees to attack the four gates and three palaces immediately, then I will give the order." ”

"The four gates and three palaces are guarded by lawless subordinates, and we will divide and attack them."

"Master, you hit the east gate!"

"Bajie, you hit the south gate!"

"Sha Seng, you hit Simon!"

"Little White Dragon, you hit the north gate!"

"Erlang God, you fight the Doushi Palace!"

"Lotus, you hit Chonghua Palace!"

"As for the Bullfighting Palace, I will attack it myself!"

At that moment, the gods heard only a laugh in the distance.

"Everyone, why bother so much, if you want to go in, Poor Dao will take you in."
