On May 27 of the second year of Zhenguan, it was time. Taiji Palace, outside the Daji Palace. In the gorgeous morning glow, the Longmen Immortal Association was officially held.

Li Shimin had already ordered people to build a high platform here, set up a banquet, Taoist priests from various sects entered the hall one after another, Maoshan, Longmen, Laoshan, Xuanduguan and other major sects of disciples were in the forefront, and the local sects with a slightly weaker reputation were seated in the back.

There were about forty or fifty people, old and young, men and women. The disciples of the big factions who came to participate were often the younger generation, such as Maoshan, and only sent two disciples, one of them was Lu Chunliang, who was only in the late stage of Bigu, and the other was older, but he looked like he was in his thirties, and he had just entered the Yin God Realm.

On the other hand, those small sects, the Taoist priests who came to participate in the immortal meeting were all white-haired, looking like fairy wind and bones, and they were not the masters of the sect, but also elders.

This is also the weakness of today's Datang, the Tang Dynasty has not been established for a long time, the prestige is insufficient, the background is not deep, it is difficult to make those rebellious and powerful monks really submit, their attitude towards the Tang Dynasty is surprisingly consistent, willing to be close, but not obedient.

On the contrary, those small and medium-sized sects that lack resources want to seize the opportunity to express their intention to take refuge.

"Strange, this hour has come, why hasn't Your Majesty started the Immortal Meeting?"

"Didn't you see it, is the position of the chief still vacant, that's the seat of Longhu Mountain!"

"It turns out that Li Zhenren hasn't arrived yet, hehe, it's really a big shelf, dare to let the Son of Heaven wait for him!"

"I heard that Li Zhenren broke into Qinglong Temple yesterday and rescued a bad captain from the evil Buddha, could it be that he was injured?"

"Hmph, it's a pity that I was in retreat and cultivating yesterday, otherwise how would I allow that demon monk to be arrogant?" …… The sun is rising, but Li Shimin still has not announced the start, which makes everyone start to talk about it.

Most of them are discussing Li Daoxuan and the evil Buddha Maha, and many people praise Li Daoxuan for his courage to enter the tiger's den in Longtan and escape with his whole body, but some people are skeptical about this and feel that it is too much.

What's more, he even felt that Li Daoxuan was selling his reputation and deliberately making a name for himself. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and the Daomen is not a pure place, in order to compete for cultivation resources, there will also be many intrigues, and the reason why many people come to participate in the Longmen Immortal Association is to make a name for themselves and gain the appreciation of the Son of Heaven.

As a result, before the immortal meeting began, Li Daoxuan's name had already resounded throughout Kyoto, whether it was the people on the street or other Taoist priests, they were all talking about Li Daoxuan's affairs.

Not everyone has participated in the Heavenly Master Ceremony of Longhu Mountain, and they have witnessed Li Daoxuan's move, and for many people, they have only heard of this name.

At this time, seeing that His Majesty had repeatedly delayed the start of the Immortal Meeting in order to wait for Li Daoxuan, some people couldn't help but feel jealous.

"Father, why hasn't Mr. come here yet?" Beside Li Shimin, Princess Changle raised her little face and asked.

She changed into the most beautiful little dress today, and tied her hair into a long braid, embellished with golden tassels, just because she thought of seeing her husband, she deliberately dressed up for a long time.

As a result, she looked left and right, and her big black and bright eyes looked back and forth in the crowd several times, but she didn't see the figure of Mr.

Li Shimin touched her head and said, "It's almost there." He gave Gao Quan a look, Gao Quan nodded, and immediately arranged for someone to go to the Xuandu courtyard to investigate.

"Father, why should we wait for others, the whole world, aren't they all your subjects, as a courtier, dare to be late, why doesn't my father punish him?" It was the crown prince Li Chengqian who spoke, he was about ten years old this year, and as a prince, he was also ordered by Li Shimin to participate in the Longmen Immortal Association to show his sincerity.

As soon as these words came out, Gao Quan's color changed. Li Shimin glanced at the prince, and his sharp gaze suddenly made the prince sit upright, and he didn't dare to take a breath.

"Cheng Qian, you remember, as a monarch, you must not only have authority, but also be gracious, and you must know how to be polite and virtuous." Li Chengqian hurriedly said: "Thank you for your father's teachings, my sons know!" ”

"After the grand event is over, you will be punished to copy the King Wen chapter in the "Historical Records of Zhou Benji" a hundred times." Corporal Lixian of King Wen of Zhou, Jiang Ziya was personally invited out of the mountain by him, and Li Shimin's move was also to let the prince learn the truth of Corporal Lixian.

Li Chengqian could only agree, but he was even more resentful of the person who was late. Changle grimaced at Li Chengqian and said with a smile: "Brother Prince, you are not allowed to say that, sir, Mr. is very powerful, be careful that he turns you into a big fat worm!" Li Shimin lightly knocked Changle's head, but the strength was very gentle, and he said softly: "At the banquet, pay attention to etiquette." "It's a reprimand, but how you listen to it has a spoiling taste.

The comparison between the two suddenly made Li Chengqian even more depressed. …… After waiting for a while, suddenly there was a commotion outside the palace, and with the sound of a Buddha horn, Li Shimin's face changed slightly.

The demon monk is still here! In order to ensure the success of the conference, he ordered Li Chunfeng to arrange a large array outside the palace last night, hoping to trap the demon monk for a period of time, so as to delay the successful completion of the immortal meeting.

Now it seems that the formation has been broken.

"Amitabha!" The evil Buddha Maha and his three disciples walked in, and the soldiers along the way tried to stop them, but they were swept away coldly by the illusion and frozen, and they froze there, unable to move, showing a look of horror.

"It's a Turkic demon monk!"

"Why did this demon monk come to the Longmen Immortal Meeting, Your Majesty obviously only invited Daomen disciples."

"Hmph, I think it's the ones who come who are not good, and the good ones don't come!" For a moment, the Taoists present were vigilant, looking at the demon monk with undisguised hostility.

Buddhism and Taoism are faintly opposed, and the Tang Dynasty and the Turks also have grudges, this evil Buddha Maha will naturally not be welcomed by the Taoists.

Maha folded his hands, his body bloomed with Buddha light, and a divine ring was born on the back of his head, which looked like the Buddha Venerable who came out of the mural, which shocked everyone.

The two generals, Wei Chigong and Qin Shubao, immediately guarded the emperor's side, staring at the tiger and pressing the sword in their hands.

Li Shimin waved his hand to stop the two of them, and said suddenly: "Today's Longmen Immortal Meeting, I only invited Daomen disciples, Your Excellency is a member of the Buddhist Sect, please go back for the time being, I can forgive you for the crime of breaking into the palace." Huan Yanzhen sneered and said: "Yesterday, the family teacher let go of Li Daoxuan in His Majesty's face, and he had already made an appointment, and today he will ask His Majesty to promise one thing at the Longmen Immortal Meeting, is Your Majesty going to break the appointment?" ”

"Hahaha!" Li Shimin laughed out loud and said, "I have made an appointment with you, but it's just wishful thinking. "Among those who participated in the Longmen Immortal Meeting, there were also some ministers of the DPRK and China, including Wei Zheng, who was known for his upright admonition.

Wei Zheng was not afraid, and reprimanded: "It's rude for you to come without telling you, and now you are forcibly breaking into the palace and not worshiping the king, isn't it a Turkic country, all of you barbarians who don't know how to be polite?" Facing this world-famous minister, Maha's eyes moved slightly, and his calm voice echoed in everyone's ears like a flood of bells.

"Lord Wei is famous all over the world, and he should also know that the Heavenly Empire does not worship the lord of a small state."

"After the Weishui Alliance, my Turk is the master, Li Tang is the minister, since ancient times, only the subordinates kneel to the lord, how can there be a reason for the lord to worship the ministers?"
