Chapter 189: Trouble

In the palace, the guards are even more strict at this time.

Originally, there were thousands of guards in the palace, but after Li Shimin's assassination, he directly transferred 10,000 guards into the imperial city, surrounding the entire palace.

In the Baifu Hall of Taiji Palace, at this time it is heavily guarded, three steps and a sentry, five steps and a post, and a team of ten steps.

No, there may be another place that these people didn't think of, and that is the golden dome of the main hall in the Hall of Hundred Blessings.

And the reason why the Baifu Hall is so heavily guarded is precisely because the current crown prince Li Shimin is temporarily living here.

Originally, with Li Shimin's current status, the place he needed to live was the East Palace in the back.

The area of the East Palace is not as good as the Taiji Palace, and there are many palaces inside, which are much stronger than this Baifu Palace.

However, Li Shimin seemed to have a grudge against the East Palace, so he changed the dormitory to the Baifu Palace.

Although this is not in line with Li Shimin's current status and the rules of the court, but now the entire Chang'an, including the palace, is what he Li Shimin says, and who dares to say anything to him.

At this time, in addition to the guards that can be seen everywhere in the Baifu Palace, the four sides of the main hall are also filled with yellow and red triangular flags, which are embroidered with various elaborate talismans, Taoist patterns or fairy beasts, etc., which blow in the wind and make a hunting sound.

And in the Baifu Palace, the scene inside at this time is even more jaw-dropping, because in addition to some important ministers of the court next to them, such as Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and others, there are actually some monks wearing Taoist robes and robes.

What's even more stunned is that in this hall, at this time, there is a middle-aged Taoist wearing a Taoist robe embroidered with a Tai Chi pattern behind him and a Taoist scarf on his head, holding a peach wood sword in his hand, dancing the sword around a magic altar, while chanting words in his mouth, and even taking out something like phosphorus powder from the altar from time to time and throwing it on the candle in front of him.

And not far in front of this altar, Li Shimin was sitting on the back of a specially made chair like a Taishi chair with a pale face, and his limbs were all wrapped in gauze at this time, looking quite embarrassed.

"Tsk, it seems that Li Shimin is scared, he really invited a Taoist monk into the palace to do it?!" No one noticed that on the roof of the Hundred Blessing Hall, a thin figure was lying on the roof, looking at the situation below with a sarcastic smile.

Looking at the Taoist priest's god-like behavior there, and he drew more than a dozen incomprehensible talismans in one breath, and then sweated profusely, looking like he had consumed a lot of mana and was about to go into shock, Li Chengming couldn't help but pout.

If it weren't for the fact that this matter was originally caused by him, and he didn't feel any energy fluctuations from that Taoist priest, Li Chengming almost believed it.

After the Taoist chief was helped down by several young people who were also wearing Taoist robes, he saw six monks wearing robes who were originally standing on the side walking up together, and then sat directly on the ground around Li Shimin, and then began to recite the scriptures.

Yes, chanting!

Compared with the previous Taoist who danced the sword and walked very hard, these so-called monks directly sat cross-legged on the ground, closed their eyes and began to chant the scriptures.

Well, although it is said in Buddhism that Buddhist scriptures can be more effective in overcoming hell and evil spirits and the like, but these monks are too labor-saving, just sit and chant and meditate, and then want to exorcise ghosts?

Moreover, these people are not like the previous Taoist chief as one person, and they are directly six people together, is this more effective?

Look, no wonder the Buddhism of later generations is better mixed than the Taoist gate, how smart is this, not to mention saving time and effort, if there is merit, can he be missing?

Do you want to give them a little trouble?

Looking at the people below who were meditating and chanting with their eyes closed, the Sanskrit sound was suppressed and stunned, which made people seem to follow the six monks who were immersed in the profound Buddha realm, Li Chengming thought secretly in his heart.

Well, Li Chengming admitted that he was looking at these monks with colored glasses.

But there is no way, in the world before he came to this world, the reputation of the so-called high monks in that world is not very good.

Those monks who often cheat on food and drink in the world, walk the streets and alleys to sell peace charms, not to mention, even in those regular temples, a monk is more comfortable than going to work, working as a monk during the day, getting off work at night, and then changing clothes and driving a luxury car can go home to hug his wife and children, and even some famous monasteries are operated like companies, and what listings, IPOs and the like can be done.

The so-called rules and precepts have long been gone in the eyes of these people, how can they be respected?

Although Li Chengming in his previous life had not been to these famous mountain monasteries, there were many people on the street who had encountered this kind of fake monks, working monks and the like, and he had seen a lot of such news reports for a period of time, so he naturally had some prejudices about these so-called high monks in his heart.

There is no way, the establishment of human beings' three views is not autonomous, but relies on receiving information from the outside world, coupled with their own environment, their own cognition is established, and after receiving a lot of dirty information from Buddhism, it will naturally leave a bad impression in his three views.

Just like for Li Shimin, if it is only according to history and textbooks, Li Shimin is naturally very great and a rare good emperor, but if combined with some other wild histories and self-analysis, Li Shimin's water in history is actually very large.

This is not to say that the wild history is more reliable than the official history, but Li Chengming subconsciously no longer trusts the official history after seeing that Li Shimin once revised the official history.

All thoughts flashed away, looking at Li Shimin, who was sitting in the center of the six senior monks below, with a peaceful aura on his face when he closed his eyes, and seemed to have entered the realm of epiphany, Li Chengming, who was hiding in the hall, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and then sealed his hands: "Secret Technique, Shadow Imitation Technique!" ”

With the completion of the seal of both hands, I saw a black shadow slide down from the top of the temple like a snake, and then under no one's attention, it burst into the back of the nearest monk who was a little rounded, oily, and holding a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, who was closing his eyes and reciting scriptures.

Suddenly, the monk who was originally reciting the scriptures with his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes, his face was full of shock, and then in his frightened and shocked eyes, the body that was originally sitting on the ground unconsciously stood up from the ground, and then with a still frightened look, he threw himself towards Li Shimin not far away......
