Chapter 709: Why didn't Daoyou return to the Sect? Who else is arranged?
Li Shimin wanted to see the black-robed man, but the black-robed man must not want to see Li Shimin, otherwise he didn't need to make a move at all, he just needed to let the old demon of Liangshan go and kill the Ono Ze Water God and this team of Xuanjia Iron Horsemen, which would naturally arouse Li Shimin's anger.
Don't look at how deep they are hiding now, but if Datang really lets go of searching for their whereabouts, it may not be able to hide, and sooner or later they will be exposed.
The old demon of Liangshan was afraid that the water god Onozawa would expose his existence, so he took action to kill him. And the man in black was afraid that he would be affected by the unreliable behavior of the old demon of Liangshan, so at the last moment, he stopped the old demon of Liangshan from killing him.
And it turns out that it is not the best choice.
The Tang Dynasty immediately sent Li Chunfeng, Lu Dongbin and Li Bai, three powerful monks, to search for their whereabouts.
Although the old demon of Liangshan is conceited and extraordinary, he is not sure to deal with these three at the same time, Li Chunfeng is the spokesperson of the human sect, and Lao Jun personally passed on his disciple his divine channel method, which can be described as unpredictable.
And Lu Dongbin and Li Bai, not to mention their identities in their previous lives, even if they are the two current reincarnators, they must not be underestimated.
One is the chief of the Tang Dynasty Palace, the proud protΓ©gΓ© of Zengzi who descended from Huoyun Cave; One is the personal disciple of the Holy Mother of Wudang, and before that, he had been selected by Qingping Sword Qingping Sword, which is the sword of the Sect Interception Sage Tongtian Sect Master, the so-called divine sword has a spirit, and this Liangshan old demon is a Shangqing Dao method, whether he is a disciple of the Interception Sect or not, but if he really bumps into Li Bai, it is a self-throwing net.
If he is a disciple of the sect, he will inevitably be cleared, and if he is not a disciple of the sect, and he can't explain his own Shangqing Dao method, then he must not be good at it.
In addition to these hidden dangers, his Liangshan nest has been served in a pot. Moreover, the movements of his disciples were all expected by the black-robed man, and he surrendered to Datang in order to save his life.
Although the treatment is not as good as the first batch of people who surrendered to Datang, it is very likely that there will be some prison sentences. But compared to a life, it is clear that the right choice has been made.
Having said that, the old demon of Liangshan was still a little dissatisfied in his heart.
In a hidden cave, the old demon of Liangshan and the black-robed man were sitting opposite each other, but both of them were wearing black robes and covered by hats, so they couldn't actually see each other's faces and expressions.
However, the pair of horns of the old demon of Liangshan is still quite obvious.
"Everything is expected by Daoyou." The old demon of Liangshan raised his head and looked at the black-robed man, but because these two black robes were not ordinary, they were actually two spiritual treasures, which had the magic of isolating the breath, so as to avoid the detection of the six-eared macaque and the Diting and even the roaring dog.
This time, they looked at each other and couldn't see each other's true faces, which was actually the effect of these two black robes.
"But now that I have lost the foundation of Liangshan, how should I deal with myself?" The old demon of Liangshan was unwilling, "Those disciples of mine can vote for the Tang Dynasty, but I can't vote for the future, and I can only wander in the Three Realms." β
The black-robed man touched his chin and said, "Why don't you return to the master's door?" β
The old demon of Liangshan didn't speak, he just glanced at the black-robed man and ignored the question.
Ask while knowing the answer.
Of course, the old demon of Liangshan knew the identity of the black-robed man, and he didn't think that the other party didn't know his origin. If it is the senior brother who is in charge of Jinao Island now, even if it is the senior sister. He also dared to go back.
But he didn't have to be a senior sister, when he was on the island, he was the most estranged from this senior sister. has a cold temperament, which is really difficult for fellow juniors and disciples to get close to.
Not long ago, in order to welcome Li Bai to the island, and when Jinao Island was reopened, the old demon of Liangshan also took a look from afar, but when he saw those fellow men waiting on the east coast, none of them could return to Jinao Island, of course he extinguished this thought.
Since Senior Sister Wudang took charge of Jinao Island, there are actually very few people who can return to the master, except for the Golden Hoop Immortal, that is, the Long-eared Dingguang Immortal brought by the Golden Hoop Immortal.
And the Golden Hoop Immortal was able to go to the island entirely because he brought the "Long-Eared Dingguang Fairy" to the door, otherwise the Holy Mother would not have opened the door for him to let him go.
But the final result was that Jin Hoop Immortal not only went to the Tao, but also brought his three unsuccessful disciples to Jinao Island. Although their talents are not first-class, one of them, Yang Li Daxian, has won the appreciation of the Holy Mother of Wudang by virtue of his true temperament.
Of course, people outside the island are not clear about these things.
"Right now. In fact, there is another opportunity. The black-robed man said to the old demon of Liangshan, "Now that it is the Tribulation of the Eight Immortals, if Daoist friends can make a difference in this, there may be another way out." β
The black-robed man reached out and pointed upward.
The old demon of Liangshan first pondered for a moment before asking curiously, "Could it be that what Daoist friends are talking about is Heavenly Court?" β
"Exactly." The black-robed man nodded, "As a fellow Daoist, you don't have to be incognito in the Three Realms. The Western Buddha Realm is obviously not in the consideration of Daoists, otherwise it would not be possible to live in seclusion in Liangshan if you can find an official position in the Heavenly Court."
The old demon of Liangshan fell into deep thought, he really hadn't considered the matter of taking refuge in Heaven before, but now when he heard the black-robed man mention it, he felt that this matter was not unavoidable.
"Why did Daoyou say that he couldn't take refuge in Datang?" Although the black-robed man knows the true body of the old demon of Liangshan, he still has some doubts about this, now that Datang is thriving, and in the future, Datang's status in the Three Realms may not be under the heavenly court.
Today's Datang seems to be prosperous, but in fact, there is still enough room for growth, if you can join the camp of Datang at this time, then the benefits of the future are obvious.
The reason why the black-robed man found the old demon of Liangshan and made a plan for him to set up a large array in Liangshan. It is for one day, when the foundation of Liangshan is prosperous, it will attract the attention of Datang. It is best to make Datang realize the power of their Liangshan, and let Datang come to recruit them, rather than them rushing to join Datang.
But. The black-robed man's plan had already been shattered before it had even begun.
The black-robed man didn't expect that the development of the Tang Dynasty army would be so rapid. In just over a dozen years, the soldiers already have the powerful force to fight against the demons.
Let's just say that the combat effectiveness of the Tang Xuanjia Iron Cavalry is not even under some elite heavenly soldiers and generals, and the Jade Emperor is greedy when he sees it.
In addition, he just didn't pay attention, first the Onozawa Water God was taken down by Fei Changfang and Lan Caihe, and then the old demon of Liangshan took action without authorization and directly attracted Li Chunfeng.
According to the idea of the black-robed man, if it was just a Fei Changfang, he would be able to rely on the other party's army and use the entire Liangshan as a stage to show Li Shimin the style of the current Liangshan demon group.
The black-robed man thought that Li Shimin definitely had the courage to issue a recruitment order and establish the first demon army in the Tang Dynasty.
But the plan of the black-robed man was not finished yet, and the old demon of Liangshan personally ran to dismantle the stage, but his behavior itself was afraid that his existence would be discovered by Datang, so the problem came, what was he afraid of?
"Have you ever eaten someone?" While the black-robed man was thinking about it, such an idea suddenly popped into his mind.
"How is that possible?" The old demon of Liangshan shook his head very resolutely, saying that he had never eaten a person, but. I have hurt people's lives, if I take refuge in the Tang Dynasty, with my identity, it is inevitable to see the Holy Buddha of Sanzang. When the time comes, if he wants to refine his mind with the Buddha's flame, will I enter or not? β
It turned out that it was because of this incident, and after listening to the other party's worries, the black-robed man explained: "The Sanzang Holy Buddha is not an indiscriminate person, you just need to explain clearly the cause and effect of your hurting people. As long as you are right about this, he will not burn you with the Great Sun Buddha flame. β
Seeing that the other party was still silent, the black-robed man asked in a low voice, "No. You're hurting people for no reason, aren't you? Then you really can't take refuge in Datang. β
The old demon of Liangshan hurriedly said: "How can I hurt people for no reason, but hundreds of years have passed, how can I say it clearly with just my mouth?" β
This.
"And the Great Day Buddha Flame of the Three Tibetan Holy Buddhas can distinguish the truth of the words in my mouth" The old demon of Liangshan saw that the black-robed man also fell silent, so he continued, "But I heard it. But anyone who has been burned by the Great Sun Buddha Flame is not until the end. Otherwise, it would be indispensable for a true spirit to be scattered in the Three Realms. β
Not to mention the old demon of Liangshan, even the black-robed man couldn't help but shudder when he heard the Great Sun Buddha Flame. It can be said that among the Three Realms, there are really few people who can still be calm and calm when they hear the name of the Great Sun Buddha Flame.
The Jade Emperor once wanted to use this method to test his ministers, but in the end he dispelled this idea.
The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of Lingshan had already been tortured by the Great Sage Thunder Sound back then, and Fahai did not invite them all to come to the Great Sun Buddha Flame for a while, and they could be regarded as having escaped.
Because he has not personally experienced the Great Sun Buddha Flame, the black-robed man has no position to persuade the old demon of Liangshan to continue to take refuge in Datang Anyway, the plan to show his ability by relying on Liangshan has been stillborn. It's better to send this Taoist friend to the heavenly court.
As for himself, the black-robed man is still more inclined to stay in the world, and as for the opportunity to join the Tang Dynasty, then he has to find it again.
In the Tang Palace.
"Brother Yu is saying that the big array of Liangshan is not the handiwork of the old demon of Liangshan, but the handiwork of the mysterious black-robed man?"
"Exactly, the person who set up the formation is not the old demon of Liangshan." Fahai said to Li Shimin, "According to the water god of Onozawa, he saw with his own eyes that it was the black-robed man who was arrayed in the Liangshan water, although the old demon of Liangshan was also there, but he didn't make a move during the whole process. β
"And the Onozawa water god also heard the old demon of Liangshan say a word, your method of arranging the formation, it is indeed unique, and its subtlety is by no means under Jinao Island, it's a pity. Now in the Three Realms, I'm afraid there are only a few people who still understand this set, right? β
"Oh? Interesting. "Li Shimin is becoming more and more interested in the identities of these two, and even a little can't wait to meet the two of them and see their true faces in Lushan," Brother Yu thought. Where are they sacred? β
"Identity clues are still too few and not easy to deduce." Fahai groaned a few breaths before he spoke, "Your old demon in Liangshan is most likely the doorman of Jinao Island. The other black-robed man may be able to start from the other party's proficient formation and spells. And on top of the Liangshan formation, I'm afraid I won't know more specific clues until Daochang Li comes back. β
It is also said that Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.
Outside the main hall, the voice of a eunuch came, "Your Majesty, Li Chunfeng and Li Daochang are back and are waiting outside the palace gate." β
"Quick, please let Li Aiqing in!"
"Minister Li Chunfeng, meet Your Majesty."
"Aiqing is exempt."
Because of the experience they had together in Beiju Luzhou, the relationship between Li Shimin and Li Chunfeng was still quite close. Li Shimin also went down to the palace to greet Li Chunfeng in person, which shows his favor for Li Chunfeng.
Whether this is true affection or the emperor's heart. In short, the courtiers who can enjoy such a favor are not in vain in the righteousness of the monarch and the minister.
It's just that Li Chunfeng's identity is special after all, and his temperament is like this, Li Shimin's behavior will not flatter him, and after the two gentlemen and ministers were polite, Li Shimin invited Li Chunfeng to take a seat.
"I'm going to Luoyang to investigate the case, Liangshan has worked hard to love Qing."
"It's a matter of the ministers." Li Chunfeng hurriedly arched his hand towards Li Shimin and said, "It's a pity that I didn't catch the real culprit this time, even if Liangshan was broken, but the culprit hidden behind it never showed up, and the minister was incompetent and did not arrest the thief." β
"It doesn't matter." Li Shimin waved his hand, and then said, "You just arrived in Chang'an, you may not know yet. The Onozawa water god and a team of Xuanjia cavalry are not in danger of their lives, although they have been missing for some time before, but their whereabouts have been deliberately hidden."
Subsequently, Li Shimin told Li Chunfeng about this incident in person, so that the intelligence of the two sides could be unified.
Li Chunfeng was outside the palace, in fact, he also faintly sensed something, but he didn't expect things to develop in such a direction, I have to say that it was still beyond Li Chunfeng's expectations.
However, when listening to His Majesty talk about the formation, Li Chunfeng really made some discoveries.
"Your Majesty. The Liangshan Great Array, the minister was carefully dismantled, and indeed found something unusual. β
"Tell me about it."
Although the report on this operation has been sent to Li Shimin's summons jade talisman one step ahead, the content recorded in the text is limited after all, and more details must be reported in person.
"The minister originally thought that the only person who could lay such a large array in Liangshan was a monk from Jinao Island in the Three Realms. However, in the process of dismantling, it was discovered that the formation technique of this Liangshan Great Array was not the same as that of Jinao Island. It's a different kind of system. The minister was still wondering what was going on, but now that he heard that there was someone else in the array, he figured out the trick. (End of chapter)
