The Big Wild Goose Pagoda has a total of nine floors, which is a four-square pavilion-style brick tower, and each floor is about three zhang high.

It is also Li Chengqian's inconvenient legs and feet, and it took a lot of effort to go up to this nine-story tower.

Because Master Sanzang sits on the ninth floor, there are Buddha relics on the top of the pagoda, so in this Big Wild Goose Pagoda, unless you are a superb, it is difficult to mobilize your own mana.

Not to mention Li Chengqian, an "ordinary person" who only worshiped under Li Chunfeng's door.

Finally climbed to the ninth floor, and before entering the attic, he also pulled Wujing, who did not change his face, and panted: "Huhu. Please also elders. Whew, wait a moment. ”

Wait for him to slow down a little, can't he just go in and meet people like this?

Wujing naturally did not urge, but waited for Li Chengqian's breath to ease, and then the two walked into the room together.

When Li Chengqian saluted to the emperor's uncle, Master Sanzang, Wujing also walked to the master's side at the same time, took out a bowl of gruel from the food box, and put it in front of the master.

"No need to be polite." Fahai first smiled at Li Chengqian, and then pointed to the futon on the side, "Sit down and talk." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Huang."

After Li Chengqian thanked him, he sat down on the futon respectfully.

"Have you had dinner?"

Li Chengqian shook his head, not to mention dinner, he hadn't eaten anything all day, and this time he followed Wujing to climb ten floors. Although it is not unbearable hunger and thirst, it is inevitable that the mouth will be dry.

At this time, listening to Uncle Huang's question, he subconsciously leaned his eyes to the bowl of gruel in front of Uncle Huang, and he couldn't help but swallow ——, dry.

"It seems like not." Fahai pushed the bowl of gruel in front of him in front of him, "You drank this bowl first." ”

"Wujing."

Wujing bowed slightly: "Master." ”

"Tell the kitchen to save some fasting food."

"Yes."

Li Chengqian was still a little hesitant, not knowing if it was appropriate for him to drink Uncle Huang's porridge.

"It doesn't matter."

Naturally, his mind couldn't hide from Fahai, "The poor monk has already opened up the valley for such a cultivation, and the reason why he still drinks some gruel every night. It is also a habit that has been cultivated over the years, and it is used to remind yourself that you are always a person. ”

"Why is this porridge too vegetarian to your liking?" Fahai saw that Li Chengqian was a little stunned, so he asked with a smile.

"How dare the little nephew!" Li Chengqian hurriedly got up, his expression was inevitably a little panicked, and he hurriedly explained to the imperial uncle, "Although the little nephew is a prince, he used to live a poor life in the East Palace, and at that time it was just clear soup and pickles. It's just that when I was still the prince, I once saw some of the people in some remote and poor places in my Datang who couldn't drink such a bowl of porridge at night, and now my Datang country is strong, not to mention that the family is rich, but it can always make the people warm and fed, so I feel a little emotional. ”

Li Chengqian knew what the emperor's cultivation was, and he naturally didn't dare to lie in front of the emperor's uncle. A few years ago, Zhenguan, not to mention his East Palace, even his Laozi Li Shimin, was not doing well.

In this way, after the national strength became stronger, this day gradually got a lot better, but Li Chengqian only realized after wandering around Chang'an City for a while that even if the country is rich now, compared to those family gates, their royal days are not half a star.

In addition to the family gate valve, there are also those nobles of the imperial court who live a small life ten times more nourishing than him.

The more he thought about it, the more unpleasant he became.

Why?

Why is our old Li family the emperor, but you all enjoy it so much?

Do you know what time my father has to review the recitals every day?

Do you know how worried my father is about the treasury and a few taels of silver in the household?

Do you know how much effort my father spent in order to intrigue with their old foxes in the court?

Well.

Thinking about it this way, Li Chengqian is much more relaxed, and it doesn't seem to be good to be an emperor or something, especially when he is a Ming Jun, it is too tiring.

Fortunately, these troubles in the future will be handed over to the kid of the childish slave, Lone or honestly follow the master's practice, and become an immortal in the future, wouldn't it be happy to be a free fairy?

Seeing the change in Li Chengqian's expression in front of him, and then taking a sip of the gruel in front of him, Fahai smiled and said, "It seems that His Highness has figured out some things in his heart." ”

Li Chengqian clasped his hands together and replied honestly: "It's not like I've figured it out, I can only say that I have put it down temporarily, maybe there will be a day when I will turn over my thoughts in the future, but who can say for sure what will happen in the future?" ”

That is, in front of Master Sanzang, if he was in front of his son Li Shimin, he didn't know what to say excessively.

Perhaps: I heard that my father wants to live forever? I'm sorry, but the child has already gotten what he wants.

Or: Whoever you want to pass on this throne to, pass it on, and the child will be born forever!

Wait a minute.

In short, the relationship between their father and son has fallen into a relatively deformed situation.

And in Fahai's view, the reason for the current situation of their father and son is inseparable from Li Shimin himself, because Li Chengqian wants to abolish his crown prince because of his lameness, but it is not easy to say it clearly, so he "hints" that Li Tai, the king of Wei, is fighting for power. But the final result was that Li Chengqian and Li Tai were both defeated, but Li Zhi came from behind.

If there is no resentment in the hearts of the two people, that is fake.

Especially for Li Chengqian, because of such a thing, he lost the position of the crown prince, for the young man who was reserved in the first half of his life and worked hard to be the prince of the Tang Dynasty, how unfair is that?

It is true that from the perspective of Datang, there may be a hundred arguments that can be explained, but when Li Shimin made this decision, it would be difficult to mend the rift between their father and son.

This may be what the folk often say "there is no father and son in the heavenly family", and it is also why the emperors are all called lonely and widowed, and they seem to be high, but in fact, in the end, they will inevitably become lonely.

Now that Li Chengqian has completely broken free from this whirlpool and felt the freedom of life, it is probably impossible for him to return to that trapped cage.

Wujing took the bowl and spoon, said goodbye to the master, and went down the tower with the food box.

Fahai asked Li Chengqian at this time: "I don't know that His Highness is here to come to the Great Ci'en Temple, but what is the matter?" ”

"Little nephew, I'm going to travel now." Li Chengqian didn't dare to hide it, and directly explained his intention to the emperor's uncle, "Before leaving Chang'an, I thought about coming to see the emperor's uncle, maybe I could get a point or two." ”

"Hehehehe." Fahai clasped his hands together and said with a smile: "The poor monk really has nothing to point out, only a word to give - to keep his heart and nature, and to become the right way." ”

Li Chengqian hurriedly thanked him.

"You can find enlightenment and take some copies of the medical scriptures you are interested in and carry them with you."

Li Chengqian was overjoyed when he heard this, and thanked him again.

Heaven.

In the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, after the Tai Bai Xing Li Changgeng entered the reincarnation, the barefoot immortal was also ready to be reincarnated in the Nether, and only then did he get the permission of the Jade Emperor, and when he came out of the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, he bumped into a Taoist real person head-on.

This real person has a haircut in a bun, his hair is long over his abdomen, he holds a fan in his hand, his chest is exposed, and his bold and atmospheric appearance is very different from the ordinary Taoist real image.

It's a bit bohemian.

The barefoot immortal recognized this seriousness, and saluted first: "Zhengyang is a real person." ”

The other party hurriedly returned the salute: "Barefoot Great Immortal." ”

The two immortals saluted each other.

"The great immortal looked in a hurry, where is this going?" Zhengyang real person is also a casual question.

"Hahahaha-" But he heard the barefoot immortal laugh for a while, and said, "I will reincarnate the nether realm!" ”

"Congratulations, congratulations!" Zhengyang Zhenren hurriedly congratulated him and said with a smile: "The great immortal has been an immortal for a long time, and it is time for the lower realm to relax." ”

"Hey." The barefoot immortal waved his hand, "Where, where, I'm just a scattered immortal in the heavenly court. This opportunity is all thanks to the grace of His Majesty, and one day in heaven and one year in the lower realm. It won't take long to go, at most three months, and then he will return to Heaven. ”

"That being the case. The poor road will not stop the great immortals, in case they miss the time to go down. ”

"Goodbye!" The barefoot immortal arched his hand towards Zhengyang Zhenren, and then turned into a blue light and went straight into the underworld.

Then, he saw that Tai Bai Xing, who had come down one step earlier than him, was still queuing, and was sitting in the underworld with the same emperor and discussing.

"Emperor Donghua?"

The barefoot immortal looked at it a few more times and made sure that he didn't recognize the wrong person, so he stepped forward and asked curiously: "Why is the emperor here?" ”

"At the invitation of Lao Jun and His Majesty, this time I am about to be reincarnated in the mortal world and experience calamity in the world." Emperor Donghua said with a smile.

Maybe Tai Bai Xing and Barefoot Daxian didn't know that Emperor Donghua was also going to be reincarnated, but the two of them were on the list of reincarnations this time, which was a "well-known" thing in the fairy world.

"I don't know if I can meet in one place after waiting for the Netherworld." Tai Bai Xing said with a smile: "If there is a fate to meet, I will invite the two of you to drink, and if you don't get drunk, you won't return." ”

Emperor Donghua said: "If you want to drink wine, you have to compare swords. You Li Changgeng is deeply hidden, you are the world's top sword immortal, but when I know you, you have entered the reincarnation, and when you meet again in the world, you must have a fight. ”

"It's a deal!"

Tai Bai Xing stretched out a punch, and Emperor Donghua hit one place with his punch.

The barefoot immortal on the side scratched his head and said, "Can I just drink?" ”

Although he also knows a little bit about kendo, in front of the two in front of him, he still doesn't want to be trivial.

"Hahaha-"

The three of them looked at each other and smiled.

In the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, Zhengyang Zhenren came to the Jade Emperor and saluted: "Minister Zhong Liquan, meet Your Majesty." ”

"Aiqing is exempt."

Zhengyang Zhenren is not an outsider, it is one of the eight immortals appointed by the Jade Emperor - Han Zhongli.

Han Zhongli, the compound surname Zhongli, the name right, the word Lonely Dao, the number cloud house, the Taoist immortal Zhengyang Zhenren, also known as Zhengyangzi.

The other is Lao Jun's Tie Guan Li.

The difference is that although Zhong Liquan has not yet been named the Eight Immortals, the remaining seven who have already become immortals, including Tie Guan Li, have not yet been settled.

Although Han Zhongli became an immortal, he did not have a specific priesthood in the heavenly court, so he did not come to the heavenly court to go to court at ordinary times, either in the Three Realms or in the East China Sea Immortal Island to practice, this time he received an edict from the Jade Emperor, saying that he wanted to summon himself. There was some surprise for a while.

Today's heavenly court can be described as full of talents, Wenchen and military generals are like clouds and rain, he, a mortal "real person" who cultivates into immortals, is really not conspicuous, although the Jade Emperor calls himself "Aiqing", but he has a clear heart, and he and His Majesty are only a few faces, how can he be worthy of the word "Aiqing"?

I am afraid that there is some other errand to command myself, otherwise why send someone to find him?

Although Han Zhong had a plan in the centrifugation, the Jade Emperor at the top went straight to the point and said: "Buddhism borrowed Sanzang to travel westward, and I and Laojun also decided to travel to the east of Daomen. ”

As soon as Han Zhongli heard this, his expression immediately became serious, and his previous lazy appearance was also restrained.

Although the Jade Emperor only said a word, Han Zhongli knew that this matter was not trivial, and it was obviously his own place to contribute. Han Zhongli himself is also from a Taoist family, and if such a thing is useful to himself, he will naturally not refuse.

As if sensing Han Zhongli's attitude, the Jade Emperor nodded with satisfaction, and then continued: "Before traveling to the east, you need the eight immortals to return to the throne, and I and Laojun have set two before, and one of them is you." ”

"The other one is Tie Guan Li."

"Tie Gui Li?" Han Zhongli was stunned for a moment.

"What did you come up with?"

"Don't dare to deceive Your Majesty, when the minister went up the mountain to learn the Tao, he was instructed by a real person surnamed Li who was armed with an iron crutch to practice for 200 years, and after he became an immortal, he could no longer find any trace of this real person in the world." Han Zhongli looked at the Jade Emperor, "Your Majesty, do you know the whereabouts of that real person?" ”

The Jade Emperor shook his head and said, "Don't you know, not long after he turned into a mountain to practice, he dispersed his cultivation because of a plague in the world and saved the people of a city. After that, the true spirit was reincarnated in the underworld, and it has been 500 years now. ”

Five hundred years, not to mention the reincarnation of the fifth life, Han Zhongli extinguished this thought.

"Among the eight immortals, now you are the only one who has returned to the throne, I give you the Eight Immortals Diagram to go to the world to find the other seven of the eight immortals, guide them to return to their positions, and suppress the luck of the Daomen with the number of all the eight immortals."

"Minister, you will not be dishonored!"

Guiding the Eight Immortals to return to their positions is a technical job, and it is not so easy to find the other seven of the Eight Immortals from behind the vast sea of people.

Comparatively speaking, Master Sanzang's journey to the west, at least there is a destination, and he is completely looking for a needle in a haystack.

As for the Eight Immortals that His Majesty gave himself. Han Zhongli has already seen it, and the above is his own image is clearer, and the other is the looming of Tie Guan Li.

As for the other six, let alone the faces, there is not even a "name immortal", that is, a vacant position comes out, and the rest is blank, anyway, Han Zhongli has no clue when he sees it.

The Jade Emperor also said that the eight immortals have mutual induction, and they know that they are destined when they meet. Han Zhongli is just listening to this.
