Chapter 653: Some Things Are Just So Coincidental; What a despicable and shameless monk!
For the Tianchi witch, in fact, she is not willing to provoke Pig Wuneng.
It's not that I'm afraid of Zhu Wuneng, but I'm afraid of the Great Ci'en Temple behind Zhu Wuneng, or to put it more explicitly, I'm afraid of the Three Tibetan Holy Rulai.
Based on her own actions, in fact, she has already expected this day. But since Master Sanzang proved himself in Chang'an, he only went to Beiju Luzhou once, and there was no sign of going out, and those who did the things of subduing demons and eliminating demons in Datang were all in the hands of the Xuanjia Army and bad people, which caused many demons, including her, to be lucky.
After all, when facing different opponents, the pressure brought to them is also different.
Take Tianchi Wunu as an example, even if Xue Rengui and Yuan Tiangang are present in person, she is confident that she can maneuver one or two. Especially when facing Yuan Tiangang, it's a big deal to return to Datang. His ancestor Xuanming Great God was once famous in the Three Realms as an auxiliary minister of the Emperor Zhuan, and it is not impossible for him, an unsuccessful descendant, to serve the "quasi-human king" Li Shimin.
If the other party can really achieve the feat of "King of Witnesses", then he may also follow the history to leave a name and pass it on as a good story.
Especially some time ago, when Yuan Tiangang came to Changbai Mountain to teach the five immortal families a lesson, and did not come to look for herself, this gave her an illusion.
She will think that this is a signal for Yuan Tiangang to recruit and want to herself, and to clean up the five immortal families, I am afraid that it will knock on the mountain and shock the tiger; Second, Yuan Tiangang was not sure to defeat himself head-on.
I want to let myself take the initiative to surrender in this way.
This gave the Tianchi witch an illusion that the affairs of Changbai Mountain would be taken care of by the bad people, and would not attract the Sanzang Master of the Great Ci'en Temple.
Generally speaking, there is such a tacit understanding between several institutions in Datang that have the ability to deal with these demons and monsters.
Generally speaking, a territory like Changbai Mountain, where Yuan Tiangang took the lead, such as the Xuanjia Army, the Tang Xue Palace, the Zhongnan Mountain Dao Alliance, and even the Buddhist forces led by the Great Ci'en Temple, will basically no longer take the initiative to get involved.
Since the Tianchi witch also wanted to take refuge in the Tang Dynasty, but she always pretended to be indifferent, nothing more than wanting to wait for the price and sell, but Yuan Tiangang did not wait, but waited for a pig Wu Neng.
I have to say, some things are just so coincidental.
As the bad handsome Yuan Tiangang, he can almost be called the busiest person in the entire Datang, whether it is to coordinate the operation of the entire bad people, or to deal with the demons and mountain spirits in Datang, even if he can't do everything himself, he must be personally involved.
Responsibility.
This is actually the quality that Li Shimin values most about him.
But Li Chunfeng will have a different view, he believes that Yuan Tiangang's behavior has gone beyond the scope of responsibility to a certain extent, but "the desire to control".
Li Shimin doesn't care about this, as long as he is in one day, Yuan Tiangang's desire to control can only be a sense of responsibility, and it is transformed into extremely high efficiency, which is a good thing.
With such capable and loyal subordinates, of course Li Shimin was too late to be happy, how could he be jealous of Yuan Tiangang?
Li Shimin believes in a sentence, the more outstanding and great the emperor, then there is no shortage of capable civil ministers and military generals under his command, and even today's "cultivators".
Even if he is a traitorous minister, Li Shimin also uses his own methods to let the other party shine in the most suitable position.
Moreover, this kind of person, Li Shimin is the least psychologically burdensome, and these traitors, under Li Shimin's command, have to live carefully, because once they touch Li Shimin's bottom line, or they have no due role for Li Shimin, then they have no doubt that this wise majesty will kick them away mercilessly.
In fact, that's exactly what happened.
The so-called easy change of nature is difficult to change, and Li Shimin also feels very sorry for those ministers who are capable but have a bad nature. They can't manage themselves well, so Li Shimin doesn't mind taking care of them for them.
There was a sword of the Son of Heaven hanging over their heads, and they had no choice but to restrain those thoughts that they shouldn't have.
If it was in the past, they could still pretend to be traitorous and loyal to bewitch the emperor, but since Zeng Zi passed on Haoran righteousness, they can't pretend to be a little bit, because Haoran righteousness will not recognize their hearts.
If you force it, it will be counterattacked by Haoran righteousness.
Therefore, for today's emperors, one of the best ways to distinguish loyalty and traitor is to see if the other party can cultivate "Haoran righteousness".
Of course, words can't be said so absolutely.
After all, there are also a large number of literati who study and cultivate their minds, not for the sake of allegiance to a certain country or a certain king. They intend that all the people, the heart of heaven and earth, and the peace of all generations can also be recognized by Haoran righteousness.
And such a character, even if he is not loyal to the Tang Dynasty, then Li Shimin has to be polite when he sees it.
Similarly, there are many ministers who have not been recognized by Haoran's righteousness, and their loyalty to the Tang Dynasty is also evident from the sun and the moon.
Just like Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang, the two of them were born in Taoism, but they also have their own unique understanding of Confucian classics, but can it be said that the two of them have not comprehended Haoran righteousness, so they doubt their loyalty to the Tang Dynasty?
The two can corroborate each other, but they are by no means the basis for judging the composition of the other. For the king, knowing and employing people, you still have to have your own set of considerations.
For Yuan Tiangang, Changbai Mountain is obviously not an imminent matter, and he doesn't want to alarm the Tianchi witch, in addition to not being able to find out the details of the other party, the other aspect is that he has a lot of things at hand, since this Tianchi witch is now guarding the Tianchi one-third of an acre, and does not disturb the people in the area of Changbai Mountain too much, so Yuan Tiangang is not willing to make extraneous branches.
Whether it's the Temple of the True Monarch or the bad guys. Things have to be done one by one, if things are piled up together, things are rushed, it will undoubtedly affect the efficiency of work, and this. Yang Jian couldn't accept it, and so did Yuan Tiangang.
From this point of view, in fact, the way the two of them do things is still somewhat similar, focusing on efficiency while striving to do things perfectly.
This is also one of the reasons why the Jade Emperor and Li Shimin entrusted the two of them with important responsibilities respectively.
In fact, what the Tianchi witch thinks, Yuan Tiangang doesn't care. It is even said that if the Tianchi witch has been silent, maybe Yuan Tiangang will leave her behind.
As for taking the initiative to recruit her, it is absolutely impossible, Yuan Tiangang has not had the leisure to do so.
Now it's different from the past, the bad guys now have long since become a scale, and it's not the beginning when Yuan Tiangang needs to go around to pull people in.
Especially the "Witch of Tianchi", who is not knowledgeable about current affairs and is difficult to fully control the "wizard", can actually be ranked at the bottom of Yuan Tiangang's priority.
After all, an organization must first maintain its consistent vitality, then it must be supplemented by a steady stream of young blood, otherwise everyone will learn to "live with the light and dust", and it will inevitably become a pool of stagnant water after a long time.
This is true of bad people, and even more so in the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin set "cultivating talents" as a basic national policy, which shows that he is also very keen to grasp this point, so the "Tang Dynasty Palace" came into being.
Li Shimin even said to Master Sanzang that even if the Tang Dynasty dies one day, then the Tang Academy Palace will definitely be passed on, but presumably at that time, the name of the Tang Academy Palace will be changed.
Fahai also thinks so.
Yuan Tiangang already knew about the fact that Zen Master Wuneng came to Changbai Mountain at the first time, but wherever Yuan Tiangang passed, it would definitely leave a hidden pile of bad people, and use this as the cornerstone of the development of bad people.
Although the power of the bad people in the Changbai Mountain area is still very weak, the most basic function of transmitting news is the first task to be perfected.
In this regard, Yuan Tiangang instructed the bad people to remain silent, unless it was Zen Master Wuneng who was in distress in Changbai Mountain, there was no need to interfere with the other party's behavior in Changbai Mountain.
The words were so, but Yuan Tiangang was not worried about the safety of Zen Master Wuneng, but he had already mourned for the Tianchi Witch Maiden for three breaths.
Yuan Tiangang, as a close minister of Li Shimin, and as a descendant of the Taoist lineage, Yuan Tiangang is still able to deal with several of the Three Tibetan Holy Buddhas.
are all cultivators, plus his uncle Yuan Shoucheng, and Xiao Bailong's uncle Jinghe Dragon King, and have a past.
At the beginning of the two sides, the relationship was actually not too good, that is, the master and apprentice of Sanzang were reasonable, and they knew about the Jinghe Dragon King, but they couldn't complain about Yuan Shoucheng, so they didn't feel too embarrassed about Yuan Tiangang.
After the two sides discussed a game, or a contest, the matter was revealed.
Similarly, this also made Yuan Tiangang really see the strength of the Sanzang master and apprentice, and knew that as long as the Sanzang Holy Rulai got the support of this true Buddha Li Shimin one day, then his "human king" ambition would not be a mirror.
Yuan Tiangang was born in Taoism, but what he does is still human affairs, not the Taoist that the public knows, so transcendent. After he recognized this fact, he immediately made a decision, that is, to devote his life to helping Li Shimin achieve his wish.
And it is not known that he may also be able to assist the king of people in his achievements in ascending the throne and achieve his own path, so as to revitalize the human sect and become the mainstream of Taoism.
Actually, it's still for Taoism.
But for a Taoist disciple, that is the most normal top priority, and Li Shimin also knows this, so he is so relieved of Yuan Tiangang, they are destined to complement each other and achieve each other.
Not jokingly, if one day you are tired and don't want to go down the road to the king of people, the first one who can't accept it must be Yuan Tiangang, even if Yuan Tiangang turns black because of this, Li Shimin will not feel the slightest surprise.
And Li Shimin naturally will not let down these courtiers.
Of course, the Tianchi Witch didn't know Yuan Tiangang's attitude towards the matter of Changbai Mountain, but she didn't dwell too much on this matter.
After all, Yuan Tiangang has already left Changbai Mountain, and has no intention of contacting herself, and now she has to face this second disciple from the Great Ci'en Temple, the Sanzang Holy Buddha, Zhu Wuneng.
Tianchi Wumai's heart is by no means as calm as she is now, she is thinking about a way to break the situation.
said that she didn't regret that she didn't choose to take the initiative to show favor to Yuan Tiangang at that time, that was also false, even if it was not finalized at that time, the two sides just met and talked about it, and she had something to say when she met Zhu Wuneng at this time.
But because of his own thoughts, the direction of things has completely gone to another fork in the road.
Hei Jiao's emotions are already a little unstable, even if he is pressed by the Tianchi witch, but Hei Jiao, who is born with a tendon, is obviously a little fearless and fearless.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to say anything about killing Zhu Bajie.
Killing Zhu Bajie is obviously unrealistic, and even the Tianchi Witch herself is not sure that she will be able to succeed.
Tianchi Witch's brows gradually furrowed, and when she thought hard to no avail, she asked Hongyangzi again, "How did he kill you?" ”
Hongyangzi had already figured out how to answer, and when he heard the Tianchi witch ask, he immediately showed an extremely resentful look, "The poor road fell for that Zhu Bajie's calculation!" ”
"Humph!"
Saying that, Hongyangzi snorted angrily, "If it weren't for the pig demon sneaking up on Poor Dao, Poor Dao wouldn't have killed him within three moves." ”
"Three moves!"
At this moment, even Hei Jiao was refreshed, just as Hongyangzi knew Hei Jiao's ability, this Hongyangzi's Taoism, Hei Jiao also knew a little bit about it. In all fairness, let alone yourself, even if the master makes a move, it is impossible to kill Hongyangzi within three moves.
Heijiao took himself and his master as a reference, and looked at Hongyangzi's eyes with a bit of scrutiny. He thinks that Hongyangzi is exaggerating, and he doesn't believe that Zhu Wu can have such strength.
For the gaze of the black Jiao, Hongyangzi selectively ignored it. This guy's head is obviously not very bright, and if he has an argument, then he must be the unlucky one.
Because he will definitely not be able to convince him, but will make him anxious, in exchange for a fist.
There is a smart person here, as long as the other party believes it, it is enough.
"Sneak attack?" It's all hints that are fed to the mouth, and of course the Tianchi witch will not ignore it, "How did he sneak attack you?" ”
In fact, it's not just Heijiao, because of the asymmetry of information, in fact, Tianchi Wunu doesn't know what the real strength of Sanzang's master and apprentice is, in her estimation, Sanzang Holy Buddha and Sun Wukong are above herself, but the remaining three disciples. She really didn't feel how capable the other party was, especially this Zhu Bajie.
"He first knocked on the door of Poor Dao's house, saying that it was a monk passing by, who wanted to spend the night and beg for some fasting, and then took advantage of the opening of Poor Dao to open the door, and suddenly attacked the killer, Poor Dao was defenseless for a while, and fell into his plot"
"Damn!"
When the black dragon on the side heard this, he immediately said angrily: "What a despicable and shameless monk! ”
