In fact, when Zhang Guolao said this, even he himself was a little surprised, and before returning to Chang'an, he was still very entangled in whether to inform the Sanzang Holy Buddha of this matter.

But just now, the moment he and the eyes of the Sanzang Holy Buddha met each other, he felt that the secret in his heart had been seen through by the other party, so he didn't have to wait for the Sanzang Holy Buddha to ask the reason, Zhang Guolao couldn't help but tell the truth.

Whew-

Let's be honest.

When Zhang Guo said this, he put down a burden in his heart, and his face, which was obviously worried before, was finally relieved.

Seeing this, Li Shimin said: Don't look at the creatures that were born when the heavens and the earth first opened, this cultivates kung fu. It's far worse than those old foxes in the Tang Dynasty.

In fact, not to mention that it is placed in the Tang Dynasty, in terms of Zhang Guolao's current temperament, it is placed in the people, and it is also the main one, writing all his thoughts on his face, and you can see through his inner thoughts at a glance.

If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have been taken advantage of by the Bat Ancestor.

Pure Heart.

Although Zhang Guolao is not a human being, he can be guided by Lao Tzu, and now he is listed as a candidate for the Eight Immortals, in fact, because he has a "pure heart", which complements his natural auspicious identity.

Since Lao Jun and the Jade Emperor jointly selected the Eight Immortals, in fact, in addition to mana and background, the two bigwigs value their conduct more.

Character is the basis for improving their immortal qualities and godheads, and mana can be cultivated, and their background is not in the consideration of the two of them.

can directly become the top stream of the Three Realms.

It's like the Jiao Demon King back then, leading 100,000 Tianhe water troops to guard the Heavenly Gate, ranking among the three rank priesthoods of the Heavenly Court, this is something that many demon clans can't envy?

Don't look at the fact that many demon clans often pay attention to those demon kings who were recruited by the court to the heavens behind their backs, but when such a good thing really falls on their heads, and it depends on their own attitude?

I'm afraid I can't wait to kowtow to the sky a few times immediately, just in case God doesn't know my piousness.

It's just that the demon clan wants to become an immortal, and it has always been very difficult.

Basically, they only have two ways, one is to be recruited by the Heavenly Court, and the other is to be recruited. It is the same path that Bai Suzhen wants to take, self-cultivation and enlightenment.

Although both of them are immortals, the former is obviously under the control of the Heavenly Court, and the Heavenly Rules are bound by such immortal demons, not even above those immortals on the god list; And the latter. To a certain extent, it is an immortal who can really "escape" the Three Realms.

Of course, this "leisure" is also on the premise of abiding by the rules of heaven, otherwise the heavenly court can also characterize them as demons according to the law, and then get rid of them.

Zhang Guolao also walked the path of his own cultivation. Moreover, Zhang Guolao didn't know that he was already one of the candidates for the Eight Immortals, otherwise he would not have agreed to the request of the Bat Ancestor and came to Datang to make peace in order for the Bat Clan to live under the sunshine of the Three Realms again.

It's just that I didn't expect to make people by creation, and it is obviously impossible for the bat clan to form an alliance with the Tang Dynasty because of the fact that the bat ancestor eats people. On the contrary, he himself was recognized by the Tang Dynasty, and he was also hired as a doctor of scripture in the Taoist teaching of the Tang Academy.

corresponds to the official position of the Tang Dynasty, and only enjoys the treatment of a positive six products.

However, although this is not a real power official position, Zhang Guolao is also happy to be in it, but many times, he can't talk about things with the rank of the official, just like Li Chunfeng's Taishi Ling, which is just a fifth grade.

But looking at the Tang Dynasty, who dares to underestimate him?

Yuan Tiangang, the bad handsome man who is in charge of bad people, doesn't even have a grade, but his status in Emperor Zhenguan's heart is obviously a unique existence.

The bat clan wants to form an alliance with the Tang Dynasty, judging from the current situation, there should be no room for cooperation If you have to say that there is any turnaround, Zhang Guolao thinks that if the bat clan changes to a patriarch who has never eaten a human patriarch. Maybe you can contact and negotiate with Datang again.

But with the wrist and strength of the bat ancestor, among the bat family. No one has yet been able to replace it.

Zhang Guolao is actually a smart person, and the way smart people look at problems is often able to go in the same direction.

Obviously, whether it was Emperor Zhenguan, the Holy Buddha of Sanzang or Yuan Tiangang, they were all people with great wisdom. What Zhang Guolao can think of, they can naturally think of.

It's just that there are some words, it's not good to say them in front of Zhang Guolao, and Zhang Guolao is always emotionally explicit, even if they don't ask, they can guess what Zhang Guolao thinks in his heart.

They will not embarrass Zhang Guolao in this matter, Emperor Zhenguan saw that Zhang Guolao was intimidated by the momentum of his royal brother, so he said with a smile: "I am tired of running this time, I don't know if I grow up in Chang'an, but what else do you need?" ”

Zhang Guolao understood the meaning of Emperor Zhenguan's words, and hurriedly saluted and thanked: "Thank you, Your Majesty. The old way comes alone, and there is nothing else to ask for. To have a place to live in Datang is already satisfied. ”

As a doctor of scripture in the Tang Palace, and a Taoist heir, Zhang Guolao not only has his own original path in the Tang Palace, but also has a cave in Zhongnan Mountain.

Although it is not the top cave heaven blessed land in the Three Realms, it can be regarded as a mid-to-upper choice, at least it is better than Zhang Guolao's original cave mansion.

After saying this, Zhang Guolao followed up and said: "If Your Majesty has no other orders, Lao Dao will retire first." ”

He is a messenger, and now that the word has arrived, he should not need to be involved in the future.

Zhang Guolao also knew very well that the discussion before the final decision on this matter was obviously not something he could observe, so he would obediently retire now, and it would be enough to wait for a final result.

Sure enough, after Zhang Guolao expressed his willingness to retire, he was not refused, and under the encouragement of Emperor Zhenguan, Zhang Guolao finally got off the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.

And after Zhang Guolao left the Great Ci'en Temple, went straight out of Chang'an City, and went to the direction of the Tang Dynasty Palace, Emperor Zhenguan Li Shimin asked Yuan Tiangang on the side, "I don't know what Yuan Qing thinks?" ”

"To tell you the truth, the minister wants to take the bat clan under his command."

Regarding Yuan Tiangang's words, whether it was Emperor Zhenguan or Fahai, there was actually no surprise and it was expected.

After all, the compatibility of the bat clan is too much for the bad guys. If the Bat Clan can join Datang and become the main force of bad people, then Datang's military superiority among the countries of the Three Realms will expand infinitely.

"If you want to do it, what is your strategy?" Emperor Zhenguan asked him again.

Yuan Tiangang thought for a while, bowed to the Sanzang Holy Buddha, and said, "Poor Dao will arrest that bat ancestor first and hand it over to the Holy Buddha for punishment."

Then Yuan Tiangang said to Emperor Zhenguan: "In this way, the bat clan will be leaderless, and when that time comes. There are a hundred ways to bring them down. ”

"What does the royal brother think?" Although it is only a general direction of action, Emperor Zhenguan thinks it is feasible, but it is still necessary to ask the opinion of the royal brother in advance, don't bring the bat clan under his command when the time comes, and the next day the whole clan will be surpassed by the royal brother Sanzang Holy Buddha.

If this is the case, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Datang to get the support of the tribes of the Three Realms.

Fahai naturally had no opinion on this, and he even said: "After all, I was not serious enough in Beiju Luzhou before, and I am afraid that there is more than one fish like Bat Ancestor. If the marshal can arrest him, he doesn't need to send it to the poor monks, there is a branch hall set up by the True Monarch Temple in the Beiju Luzhou, so he will hand it over to them and dispose of it according to the rules of heaven. ”

In dealing with man-eating demons, Fahai has always had a very flexible bottom line.

Moreover, Beiju Luzhou has a split soul of Wujing, even if it is necessary to refine the heart with the "Great Sun Buddha Flame", Wujing's split soul can be trusted, and he does not need to go out in person, and there is no need to waste time to escort the bat ancestor back to Chang'an.

The Sanzang Holy Buddha got a position, and he still stood on the side of the human race and the Tang Dynasty as always.

This made Li Shimin and Yuan Tiangang feel very happy, especially Li Shimin. In the past, Li Shimin's understanding of Buddhism was limited after all, but since the beginning of Sanzang's westward journey, he has taken the initiative to understand everything about Buddhism.

During this period, I inevitably learned that many mortals, even immortals, would change their temperament greatly after entering the Buddhahood.

The royal brother seems to have changed.

As far as Li Shimin's understanding of the royal brother is concerned, the royal brother was far from being like this before he left Chang'an, but for Li Shimin, it is obvious that he is still such a royal brother, which makes him feel more at ease.

Datang also needs such a Sanzang Holy Buddha even more.

Yuan Tiangang transferred a few bad people, left Chang'an, and went straight to Beiju Luzhou.

Bat Ancestor obviously didn't expect that he had escaped the pursuit of the dragon, phoenix and unicorn clans, but he was successively targeted by the mortal Qingniu and the bad handsome Yuan Tiangang of the Tang Dynasty.

In fact, Qingniu's words are not a lie to him.

If he really has the ability to kill Zhang Guolao, he is naturally qualified to become a candidate for the Eight Immortals, and before the Eight Immortals return to the throne, in addition to the rotation of cause and effect, there is also the rotation of luck.

Therefore, whether it is what Qingniu said, or the words of the Golden Hoop Immortal who invited those who judged the religion back then, they are all true and valid.

But first, they must be able to kill the current Eight Immortal candidates; Secondly, after obtaining the luck of the Eight Immortals, you have to ensure that you can become an immortal, and stick to it until all the Eight Immortals return to their places.

That's right, even if you get the luck of the Eight Immortals, becoming an immortal does not mean that you can sit back and relax.

Only when all the eight immortals return to their places can the tribulation of the eight immortals be over.

Otherwise, even if the gods really come to the calamity, they can only ask for more blessings.

It's like Han Zhongli, he doesn't think that he has become an immortal and is all right, it is obvious that his calamity is exactly what he has to face after becoming an immortal, and there is no candidate for the eight immortals who are willing to be honest and obedient.

It seems to be just an ordinary trivial matter, but if his state of mind is ruined because of this, it will undoubtedly be a ruin for Han Zhongli, and his previous cultivation will be ruined.

Qilin Mountain, Hedgehog Cave.

Jin Guangxian didn't waste any tongue, but just mentioned it to He Qiong, and directly pushed Jin Shan to pour the jade pillar, knelt in front of Jin Guangxian, and said: "Disciple He Qiong, meet the master." ”

This is a great opportunity, He Qiong naturally will not fail to grasp it, let alone watch it slip out of his hands.

Jin Guangxian was also satisfied, and he was still very satisfied with He Qiong's disciple.

Whether it is talent or heart, it is the best choice. It's a pity that I'm a little older, and I missed the best age for cultivation, but this kind of problem is not a big deal for a great immortal like Jin Guangxian.

He didn't even need to make a move himself, he just listed a page of medicinal materials, and asked his eldest apprentice, Jin Shenggong, to collect these heavenly and earthly treasures.

The Golden Saint Palace Niangniang is now in the Three Realms, and she can be regarded as the number one person, although she did rely on the aura of her master to start at the beginning, but being able to make Qilin City bigger and stronger is also inseparable from her own talents.

Today's Qilin City can also be regarded as a platform and place for peaceful exchanges between the demon race and the human race, not to mention the exchange of materials between various races.

That is, among the medicinal recipes given to her by Jin Guangxian, there are indeed a few flavors that are very difficult to find, so that the mother of the Golden Saint Palace can collect these heavenly treasures, it will take a little time, otherwise, it will be complete a long time ago.

Although the disciples of the sect have always been famous for their formations, this does not mean that they will not be able to refine the Dan, and there may be some gaps between them and those monks who specialize in the Dan Dao, but as long as they dare to speak out, they must still have a hand.

Jin Guangxian belongs to the one who keeps a hand.

He carved the Four Elephant Array into his Dan furnace, and used the power of the Four Elephants to refine the Feng Shui and Fire of the Dan Land, all of which were useful. Therefore, his Dan furnace is also called the Four Elephant Furnace.

During the alchemy period of Jin Guangxian, it was also operated in a special alchemy room, and even the Golden Saint Palace, Qingque Li Tai and the newly recruited disciple He Qiong could only wait outside with the door closed.

And when the master came out of the alchemy room, but he looked empty-handed, the three of them were obviously stunned. Then they looked at each other, not knowing for a moment whether to say or not.

Jin Guangxian took in the expressions of several disciples, and said in his heart: You rabbit cubs, you still suspect that the Tao of being a teacher is coming.

It's just refining some basic pills, how can there be a rollover.

"Ahem."

Jin Guangxian coughed lightly and said, "The three pills are all in the room, and you will take them by yourself, and the way to take them is also written. Remember, don't mix things up. ”

The three of them entered the alchemy room and immediately stopped, obviously surprised by the scene in front of them.

There are three tables in front of you, and there are three gourds on each table. There was also a piece of paper in front of the gourd, and the three of them approached to see that it was exactly what the master had said about taking it.

The three of them also looked at each other's pills, and sure enough, they found that the pills of the three of them were specially prepared by Shizun, and the pills prepared for the three of them were completely different, and each had its own focus.

After they each put away the pills, they hurriedly left the alchemy room and came to the master to thank him. (End of chapter)
