Chapter 726: Don't look at the old routine, but it always works; Cast it with a peach, repay it with a plum
Of course, Li Shimin knew that behind the Royal Brother Sanzang Holy Buddha were Bai Ze and Kui Niu, and as for how to distinguish between the two, it was very simple.
The old gentleman with horns is Bai Ze, and the strong man with horns is naturally Kui Niu, but in order to show his attention to the two of them, Li Shimin still asked the two of them for their names in person.
As for the one who was tied up by Bai Ze and Kui Niu, it was naturally the original target of the Royal Brother Sanzang Holy Buddha this time, the Bat Ancestor.
Bai Ze and Kui Niu saw Li Shimin asking for their names, and their expressions were kind, and they didn't want to embarrass them, or ask them about their guilt. This also made Kui Niu breathe a sigh of relief.
That is, Kui Niu is wooden on the surface, and waiting for leisure will not show his mood on his face, otherwise Bai Ze will really laugh at him for not being angry, but he is also a saint's mount, why is his heart so unbearable. If it is said that in front of the Three Tibetan Holy Buddhas, it is also forgivable, after all, its owner Tongtian Sect Master is now outside the Three Realms, and the Three Tibetan Holy Buddhas are the real top figures in the Three Realms Among the Three Realms, as long as they are not ignorant, they have not seen the monsters of the Three Tibetan Holy Buddhas.
Even if those demons have never eaten people, when they see the Sanzang Holy Buddha, they will subconsciously be afraid of the Sanzang Holy Buddha.
And those demons who have always done evil, let alone meet the Sanzang Holy Buddha, even when they see the words "Sanzang Holy Buddha", they will be afraid and stop moving.
In fact, the eldest brother doesn't talk about the second brother.
Bai Ze has now figured out the temperament of the Sanzang Holy Buddha, and knows that the attitude of the Sanzang Holy Buddha towards the demon clan is not after killing them all. It's already a lot of peace of mind.
Otherwise, when Li Shimin and Li Chunfeng were training in Beizhou, and when Sanzang Holy Buddha and Erlang Zhenjun swept away the demons, Bai Ze would not have run away early and was not afraid of being affected?
Facts have also proved that Bai Ze's choice back then was not wrong.
Then Li Shimin and Li Chunfeng are also evil. The hiding places he had prepared in advance could always be discovered by the two of them, if he hadn't left first every time and deliberately avoided them, I am afraid that he would have collided with Li Shimin and Li Chunfeng in the Beiju Luzhou.
But now it seems. should also belong to Datang by himself, isn't this just a proof of the fate between himself and Datang and Li Shimin?
Moreover, during his travels in the Tang Dynasty, he still recognized Li Shimin's ability as an emperor very much, and it was also worthy of his service, which could be regarded as fulfilling the promise he made in front of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor back then.
Everyone entered the palace hall, Li Shimin invited a few of them to sit down, and then asked Xue Rengui to take the bat ancestor into prison first, and then ordered a banquet.
Bai Ze looked at it, in addition to the vegetarian food prepared for the Sanzang Holy Buddha, the food on their side was also full of color, flavor and flavor, and at a glance, he knew that it was a specially prepared banquet.
Bai Ze still wants to say something here and make his position clear. But there was already a chewing sound next door.
He swept his eyes slightly, but saw that Kui Niu was already feasting, and he felt a little helpless in his heart. My good brother, after all, you are also a saint mount, so pay attention to your image, what is the difference between your appearance and those mountain demons?
I don't know, I also say that the sect will deduct your food and make you not full.
In fact, the food on their two tables is still different, like Bai Ze's food here is more exquisite, especially in the plating, extremely particular, even with Bai Ze's eyes, these dishes in front of him are more like works of art, and some are even so exquisite that people don't want to use chopsticks to destroy its integrity.
But the Kui Niu next door is different, it is basically a large amount of hard vegetables. Kui Niu is also poor in meat and vegetables, and eats very happily. Perhaps in order to avoid the identity of Kui Niu, there was no beef on the banquet, and most of them were mainly mutton, chicken, duck and fish.
Perhaps Kui Niu heard Bai Ze's heart, and after swallowing the food in his mouth, he actually raised his glass to Li Shimin, who was at the top, and said, "Old Niu, I haven't let go of my belly like this for thousands of years."
Thousands of years?
How many years have it only been since the War of the Gods?
When Bai Ze heard this, he thought a little in his heart: Could it be that this Kui Niu is really not full on Jinao Island?
The next moment, Bai Ze also figured it out.
What kind of cultivation are those monks on Jinao Island?
All of them are full of food and drink, and although Kui Niu's cultivation is enough to support him not to eat, there is still a difference between not being able to eat and not being able to eat.
Don't look at the saint mounts, but in fact, the difference in treatment between Kui Niu and Qing Niu is simply a world of difference.
Kui Niu is on Jinao Island, and it has always been free-range, when the Sanqing Dynasty was not separated in the past, everyone was in Kunlun Mountain at that time, and the Cihang Dao people who had not yet gone to the West to become monks would feed and take care of their spirit beasts from time to time. But since the time of Sanqing's separation, Kui Niu followed the Tongtian Sect Master to Jinao Island, and since then he has lived a life of poverty.
The family has a great cause and a big sect, known as the Ten Thousand Immortals to the Dynasty. But how many can really put the mount of Kui Niu in their eyes?
In contrast, although the green cow in Lao Jun's place can't eat any "big meals", the people's "waste pills" are almost constant, and the Dan power of the whole body is accumulated, and now it is probably less than one-twelfth of the ones that have been really refined by him.
Let's be honest. There was such a "change", even Li Shimin and the Sanzang Holy Buddha did not expect it. Who would have known that this Kui Niu was still a "foodie".
However, Li Shimin was not only not worried about this, but smiled and said to Kui Niu: "Although Your Excellency has let go of eating today, there is enough wine and meat. ”
"Then you're welcome." Kui Niu also wants to open it now, since he has come to Datang, and Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, also has the intention of recruiting himself, it is better to take advantage of the situation Anyway, Bai Ze also wanted to take himself to join Datang at the beginning, but at the beginning, because he was afraid of the Great Day Buddha Flame of the Sanzang Holy Buddha, he was timid and never dared to agree. For this reason, Bai Ze also customized a way for himself to plan the Eight Immortals and join the Heavenly Court.
But I didn't expect that by mistake, I was caught by the Holy Buddha of Sanzang, and this time I came to Chang'an. was treated so favorably by Li Shimin again, which made Kui Niu a little embarrassed for a while.
In fact, after this contact, Li Shimin's sense of Kui Niu has risen in a straight line, don't look at the other party is a saint mount who has lived for tens of thousands of years, but he is still so simple, if the other party can join Datang, then the improvement of Datang's hard power is definitely a visible increase.
And Bai Ze's attachment will make a qualitative leap in Datang's comprehensive national strength.
These can be expected in advance.
Li Shimin's attitude towards Bai Ze and Kui Niu was also expected by Fahai, and the reason why he suppressed the two of them with Buddha power when he was in Bagong Mountain was to pretend to be this black face.
He is under pressure here, and Li Shimin is using some gentle means here. This set of cooperation between the two sides is down, even Bai Ze can't sigh, don't look at the old routine, but it always works.
Not to mention, anyway, Kui Niu is quite convinced of Li Shimin at this time. Presumably, don't let you do something that is unfavorable to the sect, Kui Niu will be very happy to serve Li Shimin.
It's just that
As soon as Bai Ze thought that today's scene would spread, I am afraid that such a rumor would appear in the Three Realms: Have you heard that Bai Ze, the demon handsome of the Ancient Heavenly Court, and Kui Niu, the mount of the sect sage, were bought by the Emperor Taishang of the Tang Dynasty with one meal!
Thinking of this, Bai Ze looked at the dishes on his table, and no longer hesitated——, delicious!
It's a delicious delicacy on earth!
Nope-
I'm afraid that the one who can make such an extremely delicious dish is the god of food in heaven and the second disciple of Master Sanzang, Master Wuneng Zen!
Li Shimin sat at the top, looked at Bai Ze, and seemed to say: You are right, today's banquet is from the hands of Zen Master Wuneng.
Of course, not all the dishes are personally cooked by Zen Master Wu Neng, for example, many hard dishes in front of Kui Niu over there are just made by the imperial chef in the palace under the guidance of Zen Master Wu Neng. The ones that really came out of the hands of Zen Master Wuneng were basically in front of Bai Ze.
Amitabha.
Fahai has long known that these dishes are from Bajie's handiwork, and he, who is a master, is of course the most familiar with Bajie's craftsmanship. You don't even have to eat it in your mouth, you just look at it, smell it, and you can tell it.
Bajie had previously traveled in the Three Realms, breaking the Tianchi Witch in Changbai Mountain, and then went to Liangshan to assist Fei Changfang in breaking the Liangshan Demon Evil Shortly before Changbai Mountain protected the reincarnation array, but because the Liangshan Great Array was too dangerous from Bai Ze's handwriting, in fact, Bajie did not play any substantive role when breaking the formation.
On the contrary, he followed Li Chunfeng and learned a lot of knowledge about the way of arranging the array, which helped him improve the reincarnation array of his inner body, and could help more souls trapped in the physical body and unable to reincarnate to transcend.
And after the matter of Liangshan was over, Bajie was responsible for part of the escort task, after all, the strength of the demons in Liangshan was actually placed in the demon world, and it was a very strong force.
Even in the Tang Dynasty, it still attracted Li Chunfeng, the Three Holy Mother, Wuneng Zen Master and others, and finally broke Liangshan.
Although it is blessed by a large array, it cannot be denied the cultivation of the Liangshan demons themselves, not to mention that they took Liangshan so easily, it is also because the Liangshan demons are not too stubborn to resist, otherwise in the case of soldiers against soldiers and generals, the Tang army will inevitably have casualties.
Moreover, Kui Niu and Bai Ze have never been in Liangshan, and they have never made a move.
According to Li Chunfeng's estimation, if Bai Ze personally presided over the big array, even if the Three Holy Ladies were there, I am afraid that it would not be so easy to break through Liangshan.
The demons of Liangshan were kept alone in the Xuanjia Riding Camp, firstly, the Tang Dynasty had never captured so many demons, and in the prison of the Criminal Department, it was true that so many demons could not be imprisoned; Second, after all, it is a demon, and if you don't let the Xuanjia Iron Rider take care of it at all times, I'm afraid everyone won't be at ease.
But actually. The people of Chang'an are now very confident in the national strength of the Tang Dynasty.
Even after hearing that there were many demons imprisoned in the Xuanjia Riding Camp, they all wanted to get closer one by one to take a look.
You must know that the camp where the Xuanjia Cavalry is stationed is usually tightly guarded, and idlers are never allowed to approach, and now they are also responsible for guarding the demons, and they will not let the people approach.
Not to mention the people, even those ministers in the court, if they want to enter the Xuanjia cavalry camp, they have to hold a military order. Otherwise, it will be difficult for anyone to come.
The feast is over.
Not only Kui Niu is reluctant to give up, but even Bai Ze is a little unsatisfied I have to say that Wu Neng Zen Master is at the level of cooking, and his skills are almost Tao. If such a skill is placed on the body of a mortal, it is enough to rely on it.
In fact, for mortals, there are still many ways to become gods, but there are very few that can be done.
Generally speaking, as long as you hone the skills of your profession to the peak, even if you can't become an immortal in life, you will be led into a god by the heavenly realm after death, such as Lu Ban, and those medical immortals in Heaven.
The Sanzang Holy Buddha did not stay in the palace for a long time, his task was to bring Bai Ze and Kui Niu to Li Shimin, as for whether they could make them completely return to the Tang Dynasty, that was what Li Shimin had to worry about.
However, today's banquet of Bajie can be regarded as having a miraculous effect, whether it has caught their hearts or not, not to mention for the time being, in short, it can be regarded as "bribery" on their mouths.
But then there is another problem, that is, it is impossible for Bajie to stay in Chang'an forever. It's impossible to cook for the two of them every day. If they stayed because of Bajie's dishes, it is estimated that they will not stay for long.
Of course, Bai Xue and Kui Niu are not such superficial people, otherwise they would not have to follow the Sanzang Holy Buddha to Datang. Bajie's dish is undoubtedly an unexpected joy, but it also shows Li Shimin's attitude towards the two brothers.
Cast it with a peach, repay it with a plum.
Since Bai Ze and Kui Niu have decided to join Datang, and there is such a courtesy from Li Shimin, of course, there will be no recurrence.
After all, in today's Three Realms, it is not easy to find a real place to stay.
It seems that Bai Ze was in Beizhou before, and Kui Niu was in Liangshan, which could only be regarded as a hiding place, and he didn't even dare to put his name out, how could it be regarded as a foothold?
But now in Datang, it is different, Li Shimin has made clear his attitude towards recruiting them, and both of them have given a response that they will definitely accept the solicitation. Since the two sides are in love, of course, there will not be so much trouble in the follow-up.
As for Li Shimin's announcement of the news to the Three Realms, Bai Ze and Kui Niu also agreed.
Sure enough, as soon as the news spread, it caused an uproar in the Three Realms. If it's just a Kui Niu, it's actually nothing, after all, Li Bai, the personal disciple of the Holy Mother of Wudang, who is now in charge of the sect, has returned to Datang, although he has not officially entered the court, but he is already working for Datang.
It is not surprising that Kui Niu accepted Datang's solicitation.
What really aroused the vigilance of the beings of the Three Realms was Bai Ze, one of the top ten demon commanders of the Ancient Heavenly Court back then.
After all, with Bai Ze's magical powers, it is difficult not to arouse the jealousy of others, especially those forces who have had a holiday with the Tang Dynasty, and they are even more impatient. (End of chapter)
