Looking at the rather quaint and even somewhat simple house in front of him, Sun Jue had some surprises.

"This is your home?"

For a person like Yuan Shoucheng who can pinch and calculate, it should not be difficult to be rich and rich, and he should not live in such a place.

Yuan Shoucheng knew why Sun Jue was surprised, so he just smiled and said: "It's just a solitary residence, and you don't need a good place to live, just have a place to shelter from the wind and rain." ”

"Two immortals, please."

Yuan Shoucheng opened the door and led the two in.

It's quite neat and tidy, and it can be seen that Yuan Shoucheng is a person who loves cleanliness.

"The two immortals, please sit down, the hospitality is not considerate, please forgive me."

Yuan Shoucheng suddenly paused, because he suddenly remembered that he had brought the two of them back to his home in Chang'an City before, and also asked his subordinates to serve tea, why did he suddenly come to his hometown in his memory?

When he raised his eyes to look at Sun Jue again, he saw that Sun Jue seemed to be smiling, and the surroundings also changed back to the appearance of his home in Chang'an City.

A fine layer of cold sweat poured out from Yuan Shoucheng's forehead, how could he not know what means the person in front of him had used against him just now.

The reason for the sudden suspension was most likely to warn him.

"This great immortal, what I just said is true, the things that planned the Jinghe Dragon King were all instructed by Buddhism, and the reason why I found me was also because my nephew Yuan Tiangang was the Qintian Supervisor Taizheng, and I was able to bypass the influence of the humane dragon qi to a certain extent through him."

Qin Tianjian originally had the responsibility of supervising Datang's own national fortunes, so it was normal to be able not to be affected by the human dragon qi.

Sun Jue bowed slightly, believing this explanation.

He just wanted to directly guide Yuan Shoucheng to say everything with his spirit, but he was suddenly broken by a humane dragon aura, and he thought it was because of this.

"Do you know that your move is a betrayal of Datang?"

Although Li Shimin will be fine, it does not mean that Yuan Shoucheng will be able to do so.

As soon as he heard this, Yuan Shoucheng hurriedly said: "The emperor has the protection of humane dragon energy, and he will be fine, even if it is a Buddhist sect, he will not dare to undertake such a big cause and effect." ”

"And I only need to do such a little guidance, I can get a chance to enter the immortal book and achieve positive results, in exchange for anyone who will agree to come down......"

In the end, Yuan Shoucheng's voice became smaller and smaller, because he knew very well that no matter how he defended, he could not get rid of the fact that he had betrayed Datang.

And the person in front of him specially asked about this matter, and now he said this, making Yuan Shoucheng think that the person in front of him was not a person sent by the emperor.

Then he shook his head again, the person in front of him had an extremely high cultivation, it was impossible for him to still fall in love with the world, and it was impossible for him to obey the emperor's orders.

Now is not the ancient period, the emperor can command the world, and there are countless capable people under his command.

"It's none of my business what you're going to do, I'm just a little curious about it, so I'm just asking."

Sun Jue thought about it, and with a wave of his hand, he erased all the things about him and Yang Chan in Yuan Shoucheng's memory.

After doing all this, looking at Yuan Shoucheng, who had fallen into a coma, Sun Jue said to Yang Chan: "Let's go." ”

The two left Yuan Shoucheng's house, and Yang Chan asked with some puzzlement: "Since you came to inquire about this matter, don't you want to destroy this matter?" How to ......"

Sun Jue smiled: "I'm just taking a look on a whim to understand the inside story, and even if Yuan Shoucheng doesn't do this, others will do it, but the person who sets the trap and the person who sets it up are different." ”

"Besides, since I want to reap the benefits of the Journey to the West, I naturally can't let this Journey to the West fail to happen."

"And it's not for nothing just now, the Buddha Gate is an immortal book, obviously the Jade Emperor is the Heavenly Court who knows about this matter, and he is a little deeply involved in this matter."

It stands to reason that the matter of Buddhism's journey to the west to spread the scriptures, at this stage, is set up by Buddhism, and then others will gradually appear.

But at the beginning of the construction of this stage, Heavenly Court had all kinds of support, and I don't know what agreement was reached between Rulai and the Jade Emperor to make the Jade Emperor support Buddhism so much.

Is it because you want to take advantage of this opportunity to proclaim the authority of the Heavenly Court? ’

Sun Jue thought in his heart.

Thanks to the efforts of the Terrans in ancient times, the Terrans occupied most of the world, and in some people's words, became the protagonists of heaven and earth.

In fact, there are also top masters of the human race, the three Holy Emperors of Huoyun Cave, as well as the five emperors after that, and some other emperors and talents, all of whom are equivalent to quasi-saints or masters of Da Luo.

Even if some people have fallen, the number of masters they have accumulated is quite a lot, which is enough to be called the top force in the Three Realms.

But these people didn't join Heavenly Court, so not only would the threat to Heavenly Court become more and more great, but it would also make Heavenly Court lose a new source of talent.

Naturally, it became a thorn in the side of the Jade Emperor.

The four heavenly masters promoted by Lao Jun not only added manpower to the Xuanmen, but also set an example for other races, and the Jade Emperor was naturally happy to see it.

Otherwise, the Xuanmen was expanding greatly, how could the Jade Emperor agree?

And these people are not descendants of the Xuanmen, and he can also win them over.

"What are you thinking?"

Yang Chan's words brought Sun Jue back to his senses.

Sun Jue didn't hide it either, and told her some of his speculations.

"These things are so troublesome!"

Yang Chan couldn't help but have a headache when she thought about the intricate connections.

"There's no way, there's a saying that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and intrigue is indispensable everywhere."

Sun Jue is also a little helpless, since he has become a member of the Xuanmen and enjoyed the benefits, he naturally has to fulfill his obligations.

Does he want to sit back and watch Buddhism and Heaven grow, and the living space of Xuanmen is constantly squeezed?

This is not only the interests of Xuanmen, but also his own interests.

And if you want to become a great road, you must compete with others, and without the support of big forces, it will be difficult to go further in the future.

Yang Chan sighed, and a little sorrow appeared on Furong Yu's face.

"You are like this, and the second brother is like this, can't you live happily and carefree?"

"Unless we're all alone, and we don't want anything, we can't help it."

Sun Jue tightened the jade hand he was holding, "Think about it, if the Buddhism Gate continues to grow, and then we want to wipe out the Xuanmen, what will we do then?" ”

"If you don't say anything else, does Master want to save it? What about them? There are other brothers and sisters. ”

"And even if we don't fight or grab, will others let us go? They only think we are bullies, so we have to keep strengthening ourselves. ”

"Constant cultivation, rapid progress, this requires resources, right? This also needs to be fought for. ”

"All of this is inseparable from the word strength, so fighting is inevitable."

In the face of Sun Jue's words, Yang Chan nodded silently, she didn't know this truth.

It's just that she yearns to be at ease with her lover and relatives, instead of being busy calculating this and fighting with that as a whole.

"Don't talk about these things, I'll take you for a good walk, let's go."

Sun Jue pulled Yang Chan towards the bustling bazaar.

……

"Your Majesty, the Duke of Wei Guo asks to see you."

Hearing the words of the inner supervisor, Tang Taizong raised his head in surprise, and his eyes also moved away from the fold.

"How could Li Jing suddenly ask to see him? Is he sick? ”

The inner prison hurriedly replied: "The slave and maid don't know. ”

Tang Taizong pondered for a while, and then said, "Let Li Jing come in." ”

Li Jing said that he had been ill for several years, and he heard that his condition was getting worse, and now he suddenly asked to see him, and there must be something urgent.

"Yes."

The inner supervisor quickly retreated.

It didn't take long for the "twilight" Wei Gong Li Jing to walk in.

"Minister Li Jing, meet the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

Nezha was about to make a big salute to pay homage, but was directly held by Tang Taizong.

"Li Aiqing is sick, don't salute, come on, give Li Aiqing a seat."

For Li Jing, Tang Taizong is still extremely trusted, not only because of Li Jing's hard work, but also because Li Jing supported him extremely from the beginning.

Ever since he was not the King of Qin, he had been by his side.

Moreover, at this time, Li Jing was old, not only did he have no descendants, but he never participated in political affairs, no matter who such a courtier was, he would be extremely trusted.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Nezha sat down and looked at Li Shimin, who was already significantly old, and sighed in his heart.

It's twilight for heroes!

Tang Taizong looked at Li Jing, and he was also emotional.

"I wonder if Li Aiqing's health is better?"

Nezha smiled, and seemed to be a little out of breath, which made Tang Taizong worry that his beloved general would return to the West in the next moment.

"Thanks to Your Majesty's blessing, it has been much better, and I can survive for a few years."

"Alas, Li Aiqing has been with me for half her life, and when she is old, she has fallen ill, and she has not enjoyed a few days of good life, I am sorry for you!"

Tang Taizong looked at the "sick" general, couldn't help but feel a little depressed, and remembered what happened in the past.

When people get old, they like to think about the past, especially when there are old people and old things in front of them.

Nezha smiled: "Your Majesty, now that the people of the Tang Dynasty live and work in peace and contentment, the old minister is already satisfied, you have lived up to our agreement at the beginning, and you are already very worthy of the old minister." ”

"Besides, people will eventually die, or some are heavier than Mount Tai, or some are lighter than Hongmao, and although the old minister is riddled with diseases, he has also left his name in history, so why should Your Majesty mind?"

Hearing his love will be such open-minded words, Tang Taizong couldn't help but feel a lot more cheerful.

"What Aiqing said is that I and you have single-handedly created this peaceful and prosperous era, which is enough to leave a name in history, so that future generations will also know that our great achievements are great enough, and it is not in vain to go through the world!"

Tang Taizong retracted his agitated thoughts, looked at Nezha and asked, "Aiqing suddenly entered the palace today, there must be something wrong, right?" ”

"I can't hide it from Your Majesty."

Nezha's expression was solemn, "Your Majesty knows that the old minister has a strange art, and many capable people are friends, not long ago, a friend of the minister came to visit, and the minister learned from his friend that someone was beating His Majesty's idea." ”

Hearing this, Tang Taizong's expression also became solemn.

He is very clear about Li Jing's ability, and he also "knows" that the other party is now terminally ill, and he has become like this because of his cultivation of strange arts.

He promised to build a temple for Li Jing and worship him in the future, so that he could become a god, which was a reward for his beloved general.

So he trusts the words of this general very much.

"Who is so daring?"

Nezha looked left and right, and Tang Taizong immediately waved his hand and sent the palace maid and the eunuch out, and there were only two people left in the entire palace.

"It's the bald donkey of Buddhism!"

Hearing this, Tang Taizong's eyes froze, he was not ignorant of the affairs of the Three Realms.

Although because of the first emperor Qin Shi Huang, the major forces continued to divide and win over the human race, and restricted the human race from appearing like the Great Qin Empire, even the emperor could not practice.

However, some of the information was passed on to future generations through the great families.

"Buddhism is now a big force in the Three Realms, even if it is not much worse than Xuanmen, right? How could they have hit me on the head? I don't have the idea of destroying the Buddha. ”

Tang Taizong frowned, this matter is really very troublesome, if one is not good, maybe the Tang Dynasty will fall apart.

"Lao Chen heard that it was because Buddhism wanted to spread Mahayana Buddhism in Nanbu Continent."

A trace of doubt appeared in Tang Taizong's eyes: "Mahayana Buddhism? What is Mahayana? ”

"Hinayana ferryman, Mahayana ferryman, just with the virtues of those bald donkeys, are just a pretense, the most important thing is to preach."

Nezha's words were extremely disdainful.

If the Buddha is the master of Mahayana Buddhism, he naturally wants to spread Mahayana Buddhism.

Tang Taizong pondered: "What does Buddhism want to do?" ”

Originally, he didn't have any ill feelings towards Buddhism, and if the other party wanted to preach, as long as it wasn't illegal, then he didn't have any opinion.

It's just that now Buddhism has actually hit him with the idea, which makes Tang Taizong a little unhappy in his heart.

It's just that it's not happy, as a generation of heroes, he knows very well that sometimes he should bow his head or have to bow his head.

Nezha did not hesitate, and said directly: "They want to scare Your Majesty, and then guide Your Majesty to believe in Buddhism, and then preaching is a matter of course." ”

"Moreover, they plan to support the corresponding candidates after the death of His Majesty, so that Buddhism will become the state religion."

"What a guts!"

The anger squeezed in Tang Taizong's heart finally exploded.

If it was just a mission, he would have endured it for the sake of the overall situation.

But if you want to control the Tang Dynasty, this obviously touches the bottom line of Tang Taizong.

"Since Buddhism is not benevolent, then don't blame me for not giving them face!"

Nezha asked unhurriedly, "What does Your Majesty plan to do?" ”

"Naturally, I want to learn from Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty to destroy the Buddha, but I want to see how the Buddhism can take me!"

Tang Taizong was obviously angry at this time, of course, this was not just angry words.

Nezha was quite satisfied with this in his heart, but he also knew that if Tang Taizong really wanted to do this, then the Buddha would definitely blow up, and no one knew what would happen when the time came.
