Chapter 688: It's rare to enter the Purple Bamboo Forest; Lao Tao is willing to use his example as bait
For the Queen Mother of the West, of course, she also hopes that these strange beasts can be close to her from the heart, instead of obeying herself because she is afraid of her own power.
It is precisely because of this that when she sees those extremely ferocious beasts, when she encounters Cihangdao people, she will take the initiative to approach the past, and even lie on the ground to expose her belly, and let Cihangdao people fiddle with it, she will inevitably have some envy in her heart.
It is said that in the Great War of the Gods, Shen Gongbao, who stirred up the storm and caused many monks in the sect to be robbed, also spent some time in the strange beast field of the Cihang Dao people before he was transformed.
And in the interception of the sect, in fact, there are a lot of disciples and registered disciples from the beast field, when the Sanqing Dynasty has not been separated, the beasts are all taken care of by Cihang Daoist, and the master of the Tongtian Sect will intercept the dojo Biyou Palace on Jinao Island in the East China Sea, and many of the beasts in the beast field are brought into Jinao Island together because they are not treated by Yuan Shi Tianzun.
Among them, some of them have become the outer disciples of the Interception Sect, but more of them have become the mounts of the Interception Sect disciples, or spiritual pets.
Some of them were on the list of gods, and the rest of them were basically taken over to the Quasi-Daoist and crossed to the West to teach. This is also one of the reasons why Yuan Shi Tianzun would send Cihang Dao people to the Western Religion.
If nothing else, just look at the attitude of the two great immortals, the green lion and the white elephant, towards the two Bodhisattvas Manjushri and Fuxian, and the golden retriever roar towards Guanyin Bodhisattva, which is enough to show that Guanyin Bodhisattva's affinity for these strange beasts can no longer be described as more than just talent.
This is why, many times, even the Buddha has to ask Guanyin for his opinion.
Don't look at him as the elder brother of the sect, the Buddha of Lingshan Da Lei Yin Temple, if he really has a conflict with Guanyin Bodhisattva, these monks who are transformed into beasts are really not sure who they will help.
Unless he is firmly on his side, even if the two do not help each other, it is all support for Guanyin Bodhisattva, in other words, it is also a blow to his own majesty.
For the beasts of the Three Realms, it is relatively easy to enter Luojia Mountain, and it is rare to enter the Purple Bamboo Forest and truly get the status of a bodhisattva.
I have to say that in terms of raising exotic beasts, the Bodhisattva also thinks that he can't treat everyone equally.
Those ugly looks, although she won't dislike them, but for those who are outstanding, she really likes them.
Why was she able to tolerate Ling Xuzi's recklessness in his dojo, and it wasn't because of Ling Xuzi's natural handsome appearance?
As the first white bat in the Three Realms, Zhang Guolao. Although his bloodline is unique in the Three Realms, whether he can get the favor of Guanyin Bodhisattva is really not certain.
It is not the first time that Zhang Guolao has seen the Sanzang Holy Buddha, he also came to the Great Ci'en Temple to visit the Sanzang Holy Buddha before, and also passed the word to the Sanzang Holy Buddha and Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty on behalf of the bat ancestor.
It was also this time that Zhang Guolao felt the backstab from the bat ancestor.
Although the Sanzang Holy Buddha and His Majesty the Tang Dynasty did not implicate themselves because of this, for Zhang Guolao, he still felt very unhappy in his heart. Even once he didn't have the face to come to meet the Sanzang Holy Buddha and His Majesty Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty.
It wasn't until the news that the bat clan was absorbed by Yuan Tiangang and the bat ancestor slipped through the net that Zhang Guolao's mood gradually changed. But it didn't go in a good direction.
Instead, it turned from self-blame and loss to worry.
After all, he still remembered the entire bat clan, and he didn't want to affect Li Shimin and Sanzang Holy Buddha's views on the bat clan because of the relationship between the bat ancestor alone.
These days, he is often in a trance and has chills in the back of his head. It is suspected that the bat ancestor who escaped in the hands of Yuan Tiangang is thinking about how to deal with himself.
This matter is not trivial, the bat ancestor will not be caught for a day, Zhang Guolao will not have a stable sense for a day, and the other party has already eaten people, knowing that it is impossible to get the approval of the Sanzang Holy Buddha, of course he cannot be accepted by the Tang Dynasty. Then it can only be the opposite of Datang, so if he is not caught for a day, then for the entire Datang, there will be one more day of hidden dangers.
Therefore, when Li Shimin came to the Tang Academy to inspect, Zhang Guo told Li Shimin all his worries, and Li Shimin attached great importance to it, so he specially presided over this conference.
It seems that it is to promote the cultural exchange between the Tang Academy and the Great Ci'en Temple, but in fact, it is to take this opportunity to lure out the bat ancestor who is hiding in the shadows, and complete his work in one battle, thus completely solving this trouble.
Li Shimin did not blame Yuan Tiangang for doing things unfavorably, to put it bluntly, it is not to blame Yuan Tiangang's head, the two sides missed by mistake, when Yuan Tiangang rushed to Beiju Luzhou, the bat ancestor had been abducted and taken away by the green cow spirit, and Yuan Tiangang of course could not find the bat ancestor.
Yuan Tiangang didn't stay too long in Beiju Luzhou, and after the matter on the Bat Cave side was dealt with, he began to arrange a stronghold of bad people in Beiju Luzhou.
The so-called special yamen of the Tang Dynasty who is only responsible for Li Shimin alone, and the authority of bad people is, to a certain extent, even greater than the three provinces and six ministries of the imperial court. Even the prime ministers have no right to mobilize bad people.
In fact, don't say it's them, even if Li Zhi wants to mobilize bad people, he has to get Li Shimin's approval before he can get the right to transfer some bad people.
But under normal circumstances, Li Zhi doesn't really want to mobilize bad people, first, it's too troublesome, and secondly, no emperor likes his subordinates who don't listen to him. The bad people are nominally, after all, they are subordinates of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Zhi, as the king of a country, can't mobilize the bad people, even if he is a holy king, he will inevitably still feel the diaphragm.
Li Zhi's method is out of sight and out of mind.
How else could it be?
You can't fight with your dad for power, can you?
Besides, I obviously can't fight for it, so why bother asking for hardship?
However, Li Zhi is not idle, the bad people can't be transferred by themselves because his father did not delegate power, but the internal guard has been taken over by Li Zhi, and Li Zhi has also developed a group of "plum blossom internal guards" on his own.
In this regard, Li Shimin did not object, let alone stop it. On the contrary, he also encouraged Li Zhi, as an emperor, of course, he must have at least one armed force that is completely obedient to his orders, so as to be prepared.
As for whether these "plum blossom guards" will pose a threat to Li Shimin, Li Shimin has no worries at all, and there is an old yin like Yuan Tiangang, and Li Shimin even suspects that these "plum blossom guards" developed by Li Zhi, as long as they take off their clothes, they will reveal the outfits of bad people.
Although Li Shimin did not specifically ask Yuan Tiangang for verification, this is completely something that Yuan Tiangang can do.
In fact, in Li Shimin's view, Li Zhi's greatest advantage is not his benevolence and filial piety, but his self-knowledge, he knows very well what kind of time he is in, what position he is in, and what he wants to do things. And he can often do these things well.
Li Shimin was alive, and Li Zhi was able to provide him with the most adequate logistical support; On the contrary, Li Zhi is the real heir of Datang, even if he can't lead Datang further, it is more than enough to hold the territory.
As for the future, Li Shimin didn't think about it so much, but focused on the present.
After the end of the Dao, the master from the Tang Dynasty Palace, did not return to the Tang Palace for the first time, everyone rarely came to the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, of course, it will not be so simple to go back, and the most attractive to them is the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion in the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, you must know that the scriptures in it are not only Buddhist classics, it is simply all-encompassing many unique Li Shimin's treasured ancient books, and you can also find copies here.
There is no greater attraction for the Masters.
Of course, the atmosphere of Datang is relatively much more open, but in a holy place like Datang Academy, there are still some disciplines to follow, such as the insulting "male and female love", and it is still necessary to refrain from it.
Now that it is not easy to come to Chang'an City once, the masters also want to relax, and the best place for this relaxation is naturally indispensable to find elegance in the green building.
Not all masters are like this, the new Changbai Mountain Bai Master went to the Tai Hospital, to learn medical skills with the Tai Hospital, the Taoist master has always been pure-hearted and has few desires, but he has to visit Li Chunfeng, a Taoist true cultivator.
Li Chunfeng is now in the entire Three Realms, and he is also the number one person, and the advent of the "Son of Heaven Gongfa" can be said to have changed the situation between human dynasties.
Maybe the impact on Datang is not too big, but for the countries of Xizhou, it is undoubtedly a relief in the snow, so that those monarchs in Xizhou at least have some confidence to speak.
Now among the countries of Xizhou, the hardest speaker is not another family, it is the country of the black chicken.
The talent of the king of the Wuji Kingdom above the "Son of Heaven Gongfa" is indeed very high. Coupled with the awakening of his own human bloodline, his strength is no longer at all than those heavenly generals in the heavenly court, if he can practice the "Son of Heaven Gongfa" to the realm of the Great Perfection, then I am afraid that the Baoxiang Kingdom and Chechi Country next door, if there is no foreign aid, maybe they will become a part of the Wuji Country from now on.
Using the power of one's own bloodline to urge the "Son of Heaven Exercise" will achieve an amplification effect on both sides at the same time, which has been confirmed, so when the realm of both is very high, the power that can burst out is by no means as simple as the sum of the two.
Zhang Guolao and Li Shimin did not leave the top floor of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.
Fahai looked at the two of them and asked, "I don't know what else the imperial brother has to do?" ”
"It's true." Li Shimin explained to Fahai: "There is one thing that needs the help of the royal brother. ”
"Amitabha." Fahai recited the Buddha's name and said with a smile: "The matter of the imperial brother is the matter of the younger brother. If the royal brother has anything to say, as long as the younger brother can do it, he will do his best. ”
Of course, Li Shimin knows Fahai's temperament, and Li Shimin's temperament is also clear to Fahai.
Fahai knew that Li Shimin would never trouble himself with those things that he knew at a glance that he would not do, otherwise sometimes, Fahai would not only not help Li Shimin, but would even dismantle his platform, which was completely counterproductive.
And for such a phenomenon, Li Shimin has no place to reason at all. After all, once such a problem arises, it is basically Li Shimin's own principled problem, and in this case, Li Shimin can't wait to avoid the Sanzang Holy Buddha, how can he take the initiative to ask the Sanzang Holy Buddha for help.
On the contrary, for Li Shimin, as long as what he said to the royal brother did not touch his principles, then the royal brother would definitely not refuse, and once the royal brother agreed, he would basically be able to sit back and relax.
Li Shimin and Fahai sing and harmonize like this, in fact, they are also letting Zhang Guolao eat a reassuring pill, if the parties have no confidence, then Li Shimin and Fahai may not be able to do their best even if they want to help.
In short, after hearing the conversation between Li Shimin and the Sanzang Holy Buddha, Zhang Guolao's original anxiety disappeared inadvertently.
And this Li Shimin has not even explained to the Sanzang Holy Buddha what is going on.
"Do you remember that bat ancestor?" Li Shimin asked the royal brother.
"Of course I do." Fahai nodded, ordinary monsters, Fahai may not be able to remember clearly, but this bat ancestor who has eaten people is obviously on the list of Sanzang mages.
Li Shimin observed that Zhang Guolao's expression became calmer and calmer, and after he got up, he directly handed over the conversation to Zhang Guolao, "Zhang Qing, you should tell the royal brother about the specific matter in person." ”
"Yes." Although it was not the first time to see the Sanzang Holy Buddha, Zhang Guo was still very nervous at this time, he first respectfully saluted the Sanzang Master, and after calming down his mind a little, he realized that he just bowed down, but forgot to speak, and hurriedly said to the Sanzang Holy Buddha: "Old Dao Zhang Guo to meet the Holy Buddha." ”
"The Taoist doesn't have to be polite."
Fahai stretched out his hand and used his mana to support Zhang Guo's body that was about to bend down.
Zhang Guo knew that the Sanzang Holy Buddha didn't like these casual etiquette, so he went straight to the topic and told the Sanzang Holy Buddha about his troubles, and then expressed his concern that the bat ancestor was hiding in the dark, hoping that the Sanzang Holy Buddha could surpass the bat ancestor.
The Bat Ancestor's supernatural powers are really weird, especially his stealth supernatural powers, even if they are roaring dogs and six-eared macaques, it is difficult to find his traces. Even the characters that are difficult to find in the Howling Dog and the six-eared macaque also show the trickiness of this matter.
Therefore, Zhang Guo Lao came to offer advice, "Holy Buddha, Lao Dao is willing to use his example as bait, fishing bat ancestor to take the bait, I only hope that the holy Buddha can protect Lao Dao's life before subduing the bat ancestor." ”
