Chapter 877 Datang (the third change, for the hundred helmsmen to add a change)
Wei Zheng killed a true dragon in his dream, and at that time, the blood rain poured down, and he was taken over by the palace, and the body of the real dragon was collected.
Since the Son of Heaven himself has the qi of a true dragon, although he is not taboo to eat the flesh and blood of a true dragon, he is even eager to try it and want to taste one or two.
But the dragon was defeated by Wei Zheng, and all the rights to deal with it belonged to Wei Zheng, and even Li Shimin had no way to forcibly seize the spoils of others.
This caused the flesh and blood of the true dragon to be sold everywhere in Chang'an City, and the Tang Emperor, who was already at his peak, was not taboo about anything, and when he heard the news, he just laughed it off, and didn't care much about it.
"If this is a person who studies history, crossing through here, it will definitely collapse. ”
Just knowing the information in a very short period of time made Zhang Liang sigh, this continent is boundless, and it may not be inferior to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, or even more extensive.
Because the frontier of the territory ruled by the Tang Dynasty is already impossible to count, it is so magnificent that there is no way to calculate.
The Tang Dynasty ruled this magnificent land, but it was not the only country, in the far west, there were Greek gods high in the clouds, looking down on everything, and the Holy See of Light and the Greek gods collided fiercely.
And in that ancient black land, the gods of Egypt built majestic pyramids, and Atlantis occupied an area in the endless sea.
The legendary Garden of Eden is out of reach of everyone, and the news of the fruit of wisdom is faintly spreading.
Compared with the unified god system in the East, the West is in the Warring States Period, and the civilizations of various god systems compete with each other to occupy the first place in the world.
The Sovereign, Almighty, Just, Majestic, Holy, Faithful, and Loving Yahweh exalts his divine authority, Zeus, the Greek god of gods and the chief god of Olympia, whose lightning spear makes the heavens roar and terrify countless people, and the scepter of the Egyptian pharaoh can bring about the changes of the heavens and the earth, and the son of the sun god brings about the changes of the world, and makes countless living beings submit to his power.
Legend has it that there is a Buddhist tradition in another great country that lives next to it, and some people want to get scriptures from there to guide the development of the world.
And behind this unprecedentedly magnificent country in the East, there is the figure of Lao Tzu, the ancestor of Taoism.
When Zhang Liang learned that Li Shimin found Lao Tzu, the ancestor of Taoism, that is, Li Dan as an ancestor, from the family genealogy, he felt that this world was different.
"Interesting, really interesting!"
"Dang!"
Heavy bells rang, even in the imperial capital there were still temples, Buddhism was still not flourishing, but Taoism did not become the state religion.
"Xingjiao Temple!"
The words described in the ancient Chinese characters can still be clearly recognized, and the gilded characters are majestic and heavy, as well as ...... Rich.
This ancient temple covers a huge area, and when you walk into it, you can have a feeling of participating in Zen and enlightenment, and there is an endless stream of people who burn incense and worship Buddha.
Crossing the gate to the main hall, the bell and drum tower, the main hall, the Dharma hall and the reclining Buddha hall form a central axis, showing superb architectural art.
But there is also the holy light of Buddhism in it, and the Emperor of the Abandoned Heavens, who had observed the grand scene of Mount Meru in the great universe that covered the sky, disdained such a small scene.
"Shinto? Not really, it seems to have the same effect as Buddhism in the universe, which also borrows the power of faith, but does not rely on it. ”
The power of faith that is extremely strong cannot be seen by mortals, but he can clearly see that those power of faith are all glued to the Buddha in the main hall, obviously he has not yet started preaching, and there is still some distance from Tang Sanzang to go to the west to learn scriptures, but this magnificent temple has been established, and it does not seem strange at all.
"Interesting, the gods of the West are playing chess, and the ancient East is also playing?"
The corners of Zhang Liang's mouth showed a hint of a smile, the red pillars and blue rafters of the Wuying Daxiong Treasure Hall, the eaves were volleyed, the marble paving in the hall was spacious, spacious and bright, showing the heritage of Buddhism.
One after another, the monks dressed in wide bodies beside each other, all plump, their oily heads burning in the sun, as if oil was flowing from them.
In the middle of the hall there is a golden statue of Sakyamuni, and he has seen different versions of Sakyamuni in different worlds, Zhang Liang is very sure.
The golden figure is an enlarged version, even if it is sitting cross-legged, it is still more than one zhang, the statue is lifelike, the shape is exquisite, the Buddha sitting cross-legged has an immeasurable Taoist rhyme, and there is a trace of divine thought in it, when Zhang Liang stares at the golden statue, the golden body seems to be staring at him.
"It's getting interesting!"
Zhang Liang touched his nose and thought of the Jiangliuer of Jinshan Temple that he had known before, but there was no such temple near Chang'an at all, he had looked at all the temples, and there was nothing called Jiangliuer at all.
Instead, I stumbled upon something strange about this temple.
There are eighteen Arhat statues on the east and west sides of the main hall, with different postures and exquisite sculptures.
And behind the main hall is five Dharma halls, there are a thousand Buddhas around the bronze Buddha statue of Pilu in the hall, the treasure is solemn, the power of faith is soaring to the sky, and there is also a trace of the divine thought.
If anyone wants to make a move here, it will definitely attract a thunderous blow from these supreme figures.
There is a bronze statue of Amitabha, there is a bronze statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva on the west side, and there is a statue of the Bodhisattva of the wood carving on the east side.
There are eighteen Arhat statues hanging on the wall of the hall, the form is vivid, the shape is different, the wall on both sides is also embedded with the stone tablet of the "Diamond Sutra", but only the characters with great magical powers can see it, ordinary people can only see many sculptures of different forms, and all the supernatural things can not be observed.
When the time comes, these verses will naturally be fully manifested and revered by the world.
There is a building of five Tibetan scriptures in the east courtyard, the building is magnificent, the carved beams and paintings are built, the eaves are fighting corners, standing in the shade of the towering ancient cypress, I don't know how many scriptures are collected.
Any monk in the ancient temple is polite and full of grace, Zhang Liang even saw the golden body of Buddhism in several monks, this temple is in an inconspicuous corner of Chang'an, but far from being as inconspicuous as his appearance.
"Journey to the West, or is there another calculation and conspiracy?"
Zhang Liang felt that he should go to the Dao to watch, and even wanted to go to the heavily guarded palace to see what the ruler of this land thought.
Just what he had seen and heard so far made him understand that this land was not as simple as he imagined.
The strong are dormant between heaven and earth, looming, and many mortals live ignorant in this world, occasionally there are legends of ambitions, but at most people can smile after tea and dinner, and it will not make people feel moved.
"Countless years after the flood, or will it be inherited from another era of gods and demons?"
Thinking of the flesh and blood with the strong aura of the true dragon in the real realm, and then looking at the forbidden palace surrounded by countless magic circles and filled with martial arts qi and blood, Zhang Liang sighed.
"Little tree, little tree, you never let me live in peace for a while!"
The small tree in my mind did not fluctuate in the slightest, but only sprinkled countless streamers, and hundreds of millions of emerald green leaves swayed, revealing endless mysteries.
"Is it the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, the Moral Heavenly Venerable, and the Tongtian Sect Master who are behind the scenes? Or is it the Zhun Ti who is leading Zhun Ti to play chess between this heaven and earth? Or is there the high Hongjun, sitting on the Diaoyu Tai, sitting and watching the clouds rise and fall. ”
Zhang Liang thought about it alone, but because he was in contact with too little information now, it was difficult to analyze it for a while, so he simply didn't think about it.
In this imperial capital of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, he found a small courtyard and cooked the real dragon flesh and blood that he had just bought.
The rich aroma was wafting in the courtyard, feeling the breath of the real dragon contained in it, and the nearby was silent, and the crystal clear real dragon meat was evenly cut into thin slices by him, put it into the boiling soup and brushed it, and then dipped in the ingredients that had already been prepared, which contained all kinds of unseen and unheard of items such as chili peppers and sesame oil that he had cultivated from other worlds with top immortal treasures, which he had prepared by himself.
The soup is an immortal source directly condensed by his great mana, and with his mana, this condensed divine source can seal the true immortal, of course, the true immortal has existed since ancient times, and the appearance of this immortal source is meaningless.
But Zhang Liang thinks that when used for cooking, the taste is still very delicious.
"Delicious, it's really a great enjoyment in the world, the dragon meat in the sky, and the donkey meat on the ground are really not talking. ”
Zhang Liang's eyes narrowed slightly, the chopsticks made of the bones of the Immortal King in his hand stirred slightly, and skillfully brushed out a piece of almost transparent real dragon meat, dipped in a plate of sauce that had been adjusted, that kind of taste, one word, cool!
"Hahahaha! I smelled the fragrance from afar, and I don't know where the Taoist friends made delicious food, and they came uninvited, hoping to forgive their sins. ”
"Since we have already come, let's have a meal together, hot pot has to be eaten by more people to have a taste. ”
Zhang Liang didn't see anything outside, and the door of the courtyard opened with a wave of his hand, and outside the door was an old man with a thin face, wearing a wide robe, and the long hair on his head pulled a hairpin.
"Old Taoist Yuan Tiangang, come to the door at will, thank you for not seeing the outside. ”
Familiarly picked up a pair of chopsticks, learned to brush two pieces of real dragon meat in the way of Zhang Liang, put them in his mouth, felt the vigorous aura and the rich aroma, he couldn't help but close his eyes, savoring the delicious dragon meat.
"Good...... Ahem......"
After praising just now, he accidentally took up some more chili peppers in the next moment, Yuan Tiangang's whole face was spicy red, but he was reluctant to spit out the dragon meat in his mouth, the whole person was extremely uncomfortable, and when he saw Zhang Liang's smiling gaze, he explained a sentence in a sneering manner.
"Delicious is delicious, but Lao Dao has never tasted this kind of taste, and I can't accept it for a while. ”
"Daoyou is really atmospheric! The dragon meat in Chang'an City dares to buy, and there are not many of them that can be found!"
The hand is not slow, and the words are still speaking, attracting Zhang Liang's attention.
Zhang Liang suddenly felt that this old Taoist was a little cute, and he didn't know how long it had been since anyone had sat with him to eat hot pot like this, and he was able to chat with him with this mentality, for fear that he would eat a little more.
