Chapter 605: Give him a chance, it's useless; Kill Zhang Guo and seize the position of the Eight Immortals
Zhang Guolao was personally sent out of the Great Ci'en Temple by Yuan Tiangang, and also got an identity token recognized by the "Tang Imperial Court", with which he can enjoy the same treatment of the Tang people in the Tang Dynasty, and also bear the corresponding responsibilities and obligations.
For Zhang Guolao, this is undoubtedly a very good start.
"Dashuai."
On the way out of Chang'an City, Zhang Guolao asked Yuan Tiangang in a low voice: "I don't know what Lao Dao wants, in the eyes of the marshal, how sure can I be?" β
Yuan Tiangang responded with a smile: "Since Brother Dao can't be the master in this matter, then the success or failure of this matter. Naturally, it fell on the bat ancestor, and before he entered Chang'an to meet His Majesty, Poor Dao did not dare to guarantee what kind of attitude His Majesty and the Holy Buddha would have. As for how sure he can be, it may depend on the Bat Ancestor's own consciousness and whether the sins he has committed in the past will lead the Holy Buddha to take action. β
When Zhang Guolao heard this, he was not too worried, he muttered in his heart: "The Bat Ancestor has practiced so far, and his hands are naturally contaminated with a lot of karma, cause and effect, but the Bat Clan and the Human Race have never had any conflicts and intersections, and there must have been no human life in his hands. β
In this way, even if the Bat Ancestor can't come to Chang'an to talk about things, he will not lose his life because of this.
The attitude of the Sanzang Holy Buddha towards the demon clan has always been strict. Only those demon clans who keep to themselves and are kind to others can feel the kindness from Master Sanzang.
Ordinary people don't say it's a man-eating demon, but any demon clan who has wantonly slaughtered the human race will only have one end up going to the underworld to be reincarnated in the Sanzang Holy Buddha.
Except for the demon clan, even those murderous robbers among the human race, if they fall into his hands, they will have a deserved end.
If there is an official government, it will be sent to the official government, and the crime will be convicted and beheaded.
If you don't have an official government, then you will have one more sin on your back. If you have too many debts, you don't have to worry about it, Fahai has long been worried about such things, and even worries that one day your demonic nature will not be able to reach a balance with your Buddha nature, but some other problems will arise.
When Yuan Tiangang sent Zhang Guolao to leave Chang'an and return to the Great Ci'en Temple, he was directly summoned by Emperor Zhenguan, "The bat clan lacks integrity, and they were capricious among the dragon, phoenix, and unicorn clans back then, how can we be sure that they will be dead set on our Tang Dynasty?" β
Emperor Zhenguan said what he thought directly without any scruples.
Yuan Tiangang thought for a while and said, "Then this Bat Ancestor"
"He may not dare to come, otherwise he wouldn't have to invite Zhang Guo to be a lobbyist." Li Shimin waved his hand, and then said: "But if he really dares to come to Chang'an, I will also look up to him, and I may not be able to give him a chance." β
This is the size of the Tang Dynasty and the courage of Emperor Zhenguan, do you want to take refuge in the Tang Dynasty?
Then it will depend on whether I agree or not.
This is no longer the case.
However, among the countries of the Three Realms and Four States, only Datang has such confidence.
Thirty years ago, Tianzhu Kingdom, which originally relied on Lingshan and was barely able to be called a super empire together with the Tang Dynasty, is now declining. Although there are Yuhua Wang's father and son to assist the government, they can only barely maintain the status quo.
In addition, the Buddhism of Xizhou is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the emperor of Tianzhu Kingdom died "bizarrely", and the country has experienced a turmoil, and it is already commendable to be able to maintain the situation. Today's Tianzhu Kingdom has long been unable to be compared with the Tang Dynasty.
And after the new emperor ascended the throne, his wrist and courage were obviously far inferior to the first emperor. Not to mention that the national strength that had risen had entered a period of stagnation, it had even begun to decline.
North Ju Luzhou Bat Cave.
Zhang Guo Lao met the Bat Ancestor.
"Brother!"
The Bat Ancestor was wearing a black robe, and he also covered his face with a hat, and after he noticed Zhang Guolao's breath, he immediately greeted him warmly, and took off the hat, revealing a happy and kind smile.
Zhang Guolao's age is indeed older than the bat ancestor.
It is even said that when Zhang Guolao was born, there was not even a bat species in the Three Realms at that time. Bat Ancestor now calls Zhang Guo a brother, but in fact, he has already raised it.
That is, Zhang Guolao doesn't care about him, otherwise he will be rewarded for the things he did back then.
Obviously he is a beast of the Three Realms, but he can't move an inch in the Three Realms, what is the reason for that?!
And even if Zhang Guolao is successful in cultivation now, he is subconsciously using Taoism to hide his heels. If it weren't for the profound Taoism, or a talented master in the way of calculation, it would be difficult to find out his true origin.
The bat ancestor greeted him with a smile, and Zhang Guolao naturally had a soft expression. After all, the current situation of the bat clan is really miserable, although Zhang Guolao is not ashamed of the bat ancestor's conduct, he still wants to help the bat clan to see the light of day.
And when Zhang Guolao said that Emperor Zhenguan and the Holy Buddha of Sanzang wanted the bat ancestor to go to Chang'an to meet him in person. The smile on the bat ancestor's face froze instantly.
It is generally difficult for people who do too much bad things to build trust in others.
The reason why he didn't go to Chang'an in person, but begged himself to communicate with Emperor Zhenguan on his behalf, isn't it because of this? It's just that Zhang Guolao looked at him and seemed to feel that the problem of things was not as simple as he thought.
"Brother Dao, you can give your brother a thorough explanation." The Bat Ancestor added tea to Zhang Guolao, and then asked, "Emperor Zhenguan and the Holy Buddha, didn't you give any letters?" β
"Emperor Zhenguan said it clearly, he can only talk about it more effectively." Zhang Guolao also spread his hands, "Obviously, you are the one in the clan who can call the shots." β
Bat Ancestor did not take Zhang Guolao's words, he was thinking about it at the moment, weighing the pros and cons.
Looking at the appearance of the Bat Ancestor, Zhang Guo suddenly frowned, and immediately asked him: "Have you ever done anything to the human race?" β
The Bat Ancestor's expression froze again.
"Kill or cannibalism?"
The Bat Ancestor was silent.
Boom!
Seeing this, Zhang Guolao immediately lifted the table, and said angrily: "You will hide in this hole for the rest of your life!" β
Don't you have any points in your heart?
After eating people, you still dare to give birth to the mind of going out to join the Tang Dynasty?
But the next moment, Zhang Guolao also figured it out in his heart, no wonder he wanted to let himself negotiate with Emperor Zhenguan instead of him, but if he could go over. I'm afraid I won't ask for my own head.
Zhang Guolao also looked like he hated iron but not steel, and after glaring at the bat ancestor for a long time, he finally brushed his sleeves away.
Give him a chance, it's useless.
What can I do?
And not long after Zhang Guolao left the bat cave, a green bull spirit came to the door.
Scareββ!
Bat Ancestor looked at the green bull spirit that appeared in front of him quietly, even though he tried his best to control his expression, it was still difficult to hide the horror in it.
His cultivation and Taoism are actually placed in the Three Realms, and he can be regarded as the number one person, otherwise he would not have survived under the pursuit of the dragon, phoenix, and unicorn clans back then.
Especially when it comes to perception and escape, Bat Ancestor has an extraordinary talent.
But he didn't notice at all when the other party had entered his cave.
The Bat Ancestor also thought that he was well-informed, and he did feel where he was in front of him, but he always couldn't get the number, and he didn't try it, so he asked directly: "I don't know if Your Excellency is here, what are you doing?" β
The green cow spirit that suddenly appeared was not someone else, it was the green cow who was driven down to the mortal world by Lao Jun and wanted to help the eight immortals return to their places.
When the Taiqing sage reincarnated Lao Tzu in the world, the green cow has always been with him, even when Lao Tzu sent a letter to Guguan Huahu in the west, it was also the green cow carried over step by step.
Therefore, when Zhang Guolao got Lao Tzu's guidance, Qingniu also witnessed the whole process.
Now he has descended to assist the Eight Immortals in their return to their thrones. After thinking about it, I still found Zhang Guolao's head, this little brother took care of himself seriously for a period of time when he practiced with Lao Tzu.
To be a cow, you must learn to be grateful.
The eight immortals want to return to their places, each with its own calamities, and each with its own obsessions.
Han Zhong was early away from becoming an immortal, so there is no need to mention it.
"Tie Guan Li" Li Chengqian has now made up his mind that he does not want to become an immortal, so he wants to treat the people of Datang in the lower realm;
Lu Dongbin is the reincarnation of Emperor Donghua, and even if there are some calamities, he can't worry about it;
As for the other few of the Eight Immortals, they have not yet met the opportunity to become immortals, and the calamity has naturally not yet been brewed. So the opportunity left for Qingniu to make a move is actually not much, so since he came to the lower realm, he went straight to Zhang Guolao.
It just so happened that when he was in the lower realm, he met Zhang Guolao riding his little donkey out of Chang'an, so he performed a change, turned into a speck of dust, and fell on the little donkey, so he came all the way to the bat cave in Beiju Luzhou and met the bat ancestor
And the scene of the conversation between the talented Zhang Guo Lao and the bat ancestor was completely real.
Eighty-nine Xuangong, or seventy-two changes such as Xuanmen Protector Divine Skills, Qingniu has also practiced, but it is generally not used, and it is not proficient. Therefore, when the Nether was a demon and wanted to deal with the Sanzang master and apprentice, he did not use it.
First, there is no chance, and secondly, it is not so necessary.
Back then, his original intention was to stop the Sanzang master and apprentice and avenge the two boys, the Golden Horn and the Silver Horn.
But he didn't expect Tang Sanzang to wait, but the king arrived first.
And when the Sanzang master and apprentice came, there was nothing to do with him, and the king alone attracted all the firepower, and even the heavenly tribulation attracted the green bull, which can be regarded as an eye-opener, after all, such a scene is really rare in the Three Realms.
Like the "Sanzang Master", such a "stunned youth" is even more rare.
Qingniu's nether realm this time can also be said to be full of harvest, at least after he saw the scene of the great sage and Yuan Hong fighting, he returned to Tushi Palace and seriously picked up the eight or nine Xuangong and practiced again.
Qingniu's talent is not low, plus it has eaten so many "waste pills" from Lao Jun, and the huge mana contained in its body is actually only not seriously cultivated and transformed in the past, and it cannot be used freely.
This time in the Nether, it was naturally completely different from before.
At least above the eight or nine Xuangong, the realm of Qingniu is no longer below the three of the Great Sage, Yang Jian and Yuan Hong.
If you talk about mana, I'm afraid that the green cow is the most profound.
Even Yang Jian, who has transformed his great love for the beings of the Three Realms into his own strength, will most likely fall behind.
Faced with the bat ancestor's inquiry, Qingniu's face was cold, but he asked the other party in a deep voice: "You don't recognize this king?" β
Bat Ancestor's heart sudden, he really didn't recognize the green bull spirit in front of him at this time, but listening to the other party's tone, and then looking at his momentum, he knew that this green cow spirit must be an extraordinary origin.
And among the Three Realms, the green ox becomes the demon king. I really can't think of a powerful character.
So at this time, the Bat Ancestor inexplicably remembered a big demon king in his heart, "The king is the one-horned king who occupied the Jindou Cave in Jindou Mountain back then?" β
"Humph!"
Qingniu snorted lightly, and then walked to the seat of the bat ancestor with a big sting, sat down, and took out a few oranges from his storage bracelet, and said: "Even if you have some eyesight, it is this king." β
This time, the green bull spirit is not in the lower realm as Lao Jun's mount, but still acts as the one-horned king of Jindou Mountain and Jindou Cave, which shows that what he wants to do in the lower realm this time is not so bright.
Although he can't hide it from others, I'm afraid no one wants to expose him.
It's like the current Bat Ancestor, knowing that the other party is Lao Jun's mount, but at the moment, verbally, he can only treat him as the demon king of the demon clan.
"Hahahaha-"
In the face of the green bull spirit who was not polite to him at all, the bat ancestor tried his best to smile, and his body had a slightly restrained appearance, as if he was afraid that his unintentional actions would cause unhappiness to the green bull and the unicorn king.
The Bat Ancestor even took the initiative to take the orange from the hand of the One-Horned King, peeled it for the other party, and then sent it to the other party. This humble image almost made Qingniu unable to hold back.
It can be seen that the life of the bat clan is really difficult in the Three Realms.
Bat Ancestor saw that the plan to take refuge in the Tang Dynasty would not work, and it happened that the One-Horned King came, so he naturally wanted to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
And he also knows very well that this one-horned king came to his cave mansion in this way, obviously not to deal with himself, otherwise the one-horned king would not have to show up, let alone "pull" with himself here.
Therefore, when the other party comes to find himself, I am afraid that there is something that needs to be done by himself.
If the human race can't take the road here, if you can rely on the one-horned king, and then attach it to the Tushi Palace. That's a step to the top.
In the heart of the Bat Ancestor, he had already begun to look forward to it.
And when the one-horned king opened his mouth, he said something that made his expression change greatly-"Kill Zhang Guo and seize the position of the Eight Immortals." β
