"Amitabha, are you here? ——」

"I'm coming—"

"I haven't seen you for more than ten years, and the former Jiulang has now become the master of the Tang Dynasty, and he has this extraordinary cultivation, which is gratifying——"

Li Zhi's sudden appearance did not frighten Master Xuanzang, who was burying his head in writing scriptures, on the contrary, it seemed that he had known that Li Zhi was coming.

"I wonder, why?"

Li Zhi changed back to his usual outfit, and the "crown" was really eye-catching, especially after experiencing the "Heavenly Punishment", he actually grew to the level of "Acquired Spirit Treasure".

"Is Emperor Tang talking about why the poor monk didn't take action to kill the demon?"

Master Xuanzang was still sitting on the futon, but he put down the wolf who was writing the scriptures, stretched out his hand, and another futon appeared on the opposite side.

Li Zhi looked familiar, weren't these the two futons he got from the back mountain of Heifeng Mountain back then, and later gave one to Master Xuanzang and Zhu Bajie?

Unexpectedly, after so many years, Master Xuanzang still keeps this thing.

"Whether it is a Buddha or a demon, everything has its own fixed number in the underworld. The poor monk can naturally destroy the demon who came to attack Chang'an, but why did the poor monk take action?"

"In the eyes of the poor monks, demons are no different from other sentient beings, 'the three poisons of greed, hatred, and ignorance are everywhere, some of which can be resolved with the Dharma, while others can only wait for the opportunity.'"

"Although the Lingshan has fallen, the Buddha will live forever, the poor monks can defend this great temple of mercy and grace, and they can also protect thousands of monks.

"If you don't cultivate in this life, how can you cultivate in the next life, and how can you know the things of this life in the next life? Is it my Buddha who is wrong? Whether it's right or wrong, the Buddha and the demon are only ...... in a thought."

Master Xuanzang spoke very slowly, as if he was answering Li Zhi's question, and more like he was muttering to himself.

"So, should I call you Master Xuanzang, or the Golden Cicada, or the Zhantan Merit Buddha?"

Seeing Tang Xuanzang and hearing him say this, Li Zhi regretted coming to this trip a little.

Before coming, Xiao Bailong once told him - "Master has changed".

At first, Li Zhi didn't take it seriously, or he still missed the four years he had gone through together, and he firmly believed that he had made that series of efforts.

Seeing the futon on the ground, he felt that everything was the way it used to be, and after listening to Tang Xuanzang's words, Li Zhi finally understood why the little white dragon said "Master has changed".

"Tang Xuanzang, Jin Cicada, or Zhan Tan Merit Buddha, are just a name, if you can, the poor monk hopes that the Tang Emperor will be like in the past, and call the poor monk 'Uncle Clan'."

When he said this, Master Xuanzang's eyes flickered with a trace of excitement inexplicably, but it soon disappeared again.

Before and after, there was a moment, but unfortunately, Li Zhi never captured that moment.

"I heard that when the demon clan attacked Chang'an at night, Indra and Yuan Tiangang, the demon generals of the Asura clan in my mansion, 'happened to be listening to the mage' lecture at the Big Wild Goose Pagoda?"

There was no longer the interest he had when he came, but Li Zhi was able to sit down quietly, on the futon opposite Master Xuanzang.

"Those two are also considered to be people with great wisdom, but it's a pity that they only came once, otherwise there might be two more Bodhisattvas in my Buddhist sect."

Master Xuanzang did not avoid Li Zhi's question, and even showed a hint of regret.

"I heard Senior Brother Ao Lie say that the second senior brother has returned to Gao Laozhuang, he is a very affectionate person, but I don't know where the third senior brother has gone?"

Li Zhi didn't comment on Master Xuanzang's answer, and asked about the others without a match.

"Although Bajie has been in my Buddhism for many years, he has never been finished, maybe that is the way he should go, if Emperor Tang has time, he might as well go to him to catch up with the past, that is also a wonderful person."

"As for enlightenment, the poor monk really doesn't know where he went. However, judging from his origin, he traveled all the way west with the poor monks, and obtained the true scriptures, but he was only fond of '

The method of transcendence, I think he should go back to the tribe......

Monk Sha is the most non-existent person in the entire scripture-learning team, and the original Li Zhi also thinks so.

It was only after so many years, especially after Li Zhi obtained the "Great Witch Essence Blood", that he understood the origin of Monk Sha.

That's also a witch clan, the existence of competing with the demon clan to dominate the world back then, but it's a pity that the reproduction of the witch clan is far inferior to the demon clan, even if it survives, most of them are in remote places.

And Master Xuanzang mentioned the "tribe", it seems that he really knows the details of Monk Sha.

"So, what about Senior Brother? ......」

There are only a few people in total.

The little white dragon lived in Li Zhi's mansion, Tang Xuanzang sat in front of him again, and asked the second senior brother and the third senior brother successively, and the natural topic was led to the senior brother Sun Wukong.

What's more, everyone knows that in the entire scripture-learning team, Li Zhi's relationship with his senior brother Sun Wukong is the best, and they are brothers who are married in the "Wuzhuang View" of Wanshou Mountain, and the relationship between the two is naturally not comparable to others.

"Wukong, that monkey is no longer bound by the 'Hoop Spell', he must have gone back to Huaguo Mountain again, the sky and the earth are big, there is always a place for him to jump, and I will have a goodbye day."

When asked about Sun Wukong, Li Zhi stared intently at Master Xuanzang's eyes, and he wanted to judge whether this person who had recovered the memory and cultivation of the "Golden Cicada" could know some "secrets"?

It's a pity that Li Zhi was disappointed.

"It's not too early, I should go back, now that the Tang Dynasty is in turmoil, I'm afraid I don't have much time to visit the mage, so I take my leave......

Li Zhi felt that this trip was a failure and did not get what he wanted, perhaps, this should be the best ending.

"Goku? Are you alright?"

Li Zhi left, just as he came quietly, only the futon, which was still warm, knew that he had come.

"Do you know anything about Goku?"

A voice sounded, very similar to Master Xuanzang's voice, but it lacked a little bit of the momentum of a Buddhist monk.

"Amitabha, how do you know and what do you not know? Before the general trend, everyone was an ant, and all the sacrifices were worth it, but this Li Zhi, this seat is a little incomprehensible."

"Hahaha—will there be people you can't see through? Who are you? The first 'six-winged golden cicada' in heaven and earth, the second disciple of the Buddha, the high-ranking 'Zhantan Merit Buddha, the quasi-saint cultivator who beheaded a corpse', is there anyone you can't see through?"

Full of ridicule, two different voices, but coming from the same body, made this silent night a little more unspeakably weird.

"Hmph, do you think that this seat can't erase you, so unscrupulous? If it weren't for you, I might have beheaded the second corpse a long time ago—"

Master Xuanzang roared and suppressed the voice in his body again.

......

Li Zhi left, and unfortunately, he didn't get to see what happened after he left.

But what if he saw it?

Today's Master Xuanzang is far from being able to deal with it, but fortunately, this big Buddha is now planning to be alone, and he doesn't need any attention from Li Zhi.

Besides, although Master Xuanzang did not help Chang'an City, he also sheltered the Great Ci'en Temple and its surrounding villages.

Those demons are cruel, but they are not fools, as if they know that there is Master Xuanzang in the Great Ci'en Temple, and they don't dare to appear nearby.

The first year of Yonghui.

This year's spring came exceptionally "fast", and before the end of the first month, the land of Guanzhong was completely jubilant.

Led by Qin Shubao, the general of the forbidden army, he gathered nearly 60,000 troops and swept the entire land of Guanzhong in four ways.

Cheng Yanjin, Qin Huaiyu, Luo Tong

, Pei Xingjian each commanded 10,000 people, and Li Zhi sent Xiaobailong Ao Lie, Bai Zhen, Xueqian, Bai Suzhen and others out.

Especially the little white dragon, now he has the cultivation of "Da Luo Jin Xian", and he is directly used as a four-way response, once he encounters danger along the way, the little white dragon will come forward to send it away.

In the end, there has been a change in identity, and these women of Li Zhi can only stay in the "Daming Palace", and they can't all become queens and concubines, and they still carry swords to fight, right?

Besides, the 60,000 army was sent out, plus the 30,000 people taken away by Li Yaoshi, Chang'an City was almost hollowed out, and excluding the defenders guarding the twelve city gates, Li Zhi was able to mobilize less than 10,000 troops.

Of course, with Li Zhi here, he didn't need to use the last 10,000 horses, and threw them directly to Li Mingda, the little girl who had thought about the addiction of a general.

Today's Li Mingda, who is also the cultivator of "Taiyi Xuanxian", as the eldest princess of the Yonghui Dynasty, began to ask Li Zhi for military power, and said that he wanted to emulate Li Xiuning, the "princess of Pingyang" in the early Tang Dynasty.

It is always a little inconvenient for a woman to enter the barracks, so Li Zhi even sent Yun'er and Huo Ling over, which can be regarded as a response to Li Mingda.

And Li Zhi's life is much more nourishing, and he directly changed the original early dynasty system to five days off, and each month has three more days off than the original.

The government was mainly handled by Li Chengqian, the king of the Tang Dynasty, the scholar Xuanling, the chief of the Sikong Sun Wuji, and the imperial historian Wei Zheng, who selected a few important books every day and sent them to the "Daming Palace".

Of course, the military information of Pharmacist Li and Qin Shubao was still sent to Li Zhi as soon as possible, and he handed over this matter to the old eunuch Zhang Ananda to be fully responsible, day and night.

At other times, Li Zhi was naturally training his naughty son, but Xiao Agarwood was overwhelmed, and more often slipped away to the "Lizheng Palace" early in the morning.

Isn't it fragrant to stay with your imperial grandfather and grandmother, why do you have to face your father's face?

As a result, the same queen and the second concubine performed the "room technique" in the harem, which became Li Zhi's main daily routine.

So far, Li Zhi has figured out that this is probably the most powerful technique of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, right?

The "Three Holy Mother" Yang Chan has long benefited from this, and after the recent operation, the eldest grandson Huanting, who has cultivated the lowest, has gained the most, but Ao Ling, the seventh princess of the East China Sea, has the most lasting combat power......

Li Zhi's happy cultivation life does not need to be detailed, but Datang's counterattack against the demon clan is already in full swing.

Li Zhi's order to Qin Shubao was very clear, within half a month, the demon clan in the land of Guanzhong must be swept away, and the spring cultivation of the people must not be affected.

After Guanzhong was pacified, the troops were immediately divided into two routes, with Qin Shubao and Cheng Yanjin as the commanders, and leveled the demons in Henan Province and Hedong Province in one fell swoop.

Li Zhi wasn't sure why the Demon Clan hadn't come to attack Chang'an in the past few months, but he knew that Heavenly Court was the place that the Demon Clan wanted to take.

He launched this "Spring Offensive" just to take the demons in these three places, which can be regarded as throwing stones to ask for directions.

Sure enough, the demons in Guanzhong were really vulnerable, and Xiao Bailong didn't even meet a decent opponent, and completely eliminated the demons in Guanzhong in just seven days.

In the battle report sent by Qin Shubao, Li Zhi saw a familiar name, ranking first in the military merit list, and the right leading lieutenant general - Xue Rengui.

In this world, due to the appearance of Li Zhi, without Li Shimin's three expeditions to Goryeo, Xue Rengui, a famous general, also relied on his own force and was promoted to the rank of the right leading general.

Originally, his duty was to garrison the "Xuanwu Gate" of Chang'an City, but because there were a lot of generals who needed to be transferred this time, and Xue Rengui was known for his bravery, he was naturally among the recruits.

"Lao Zhang, do you know this Xue Rengui?"

Since this world was no longer the "history" he was familiar with, Li Zhi didn't dare to jump to conclusions easily, and glanced at the old eunuch Zhang Ananda next to him and asked.

"Your Majesty, this old slave is really familiar, and he was personally selected by the Emperor Taishang back then, and he has a good relationship with Lu Guogong and others."

"This person's surname is Xue Mingli, the word Rengui, yes

He is a native of Xiu Village, Longmen County, Jiangzhou, Hedong Province, and belongs to the ancestral house of the Xue family in Hedong, but unfortunately his family is in the middle of the road, and he has suffered a lot since he was a child."

"It's just that this is still a big-bellied man, and he can eat as much as someone else's family, not to mention his broken family, even if it is the home of an ordinary rich gentry in the countryside, it may not be enough for him to eat."

"In this way, in order to fill his stomach, this kid had to go up the mountain to hunt from time to time, and sometimes he stayed for ten days and half a month before he came out, whether it was pheasants, yellow sheep, wolves, insects, tigers and leopards, they all became the prey of this kid."

"It is said that when he was twelve years old, there was a famine in the whole of Hedong Province, and the nearby mountains and forests had long since been swept away, so the boy went deeper into the mountains......

What Li Zhi didn't expect was that this old eunuch Zhang Ananda was still a good "storyteller", and his eyebrows danced as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

"Hearing you say that, did this Xue Rengui still meet an immortal?"

It wasn't until Zhang Ananda finally finished talking about Xue Rengui's experience that Li Zhi could interject and ask.

"It's hard to say whether you have met the fairy old slave, anyway, this kid has been sixteen years old since he entered the mountain at the age of twelve, and when he returns home again."

"Not only has it become infinitely powerful, but it is also good at making a Fang Tian painting halberd, and the old slave of the halberd can see it, but he was stunned and couldn't dance at that time."

"In addition, this kid's archery skills are exquisite, it can be said that our entire Tang Dynasty may not be able to find a better ...... than him."

Li Zhi had already fallen into deep thought, and as for what Zhang Ananda said later, he didn't really listen to it.

Li Shimin, Li Jing, Qin Shubao, Wei Chigong and others have now been confirmed to be sent by the Heavenly Court, and the appearance of Li Zhi has affected some of them, and even completely changed their fate.

If you look at it this way, is this Xue Rengui also like the legend?

Suddenly becoming powerful?

Li Zhi knew that in the legend, this Xue Rengui had eaten three drawers of pasta to get the "power of one dragon, two tigers and nine oxen".

If this person really came down from the sky, he should have something to do with the "White Tiger Star Monarch", but I don't know if he has awakened the memories of his previous life at this time.

"Lao Zhang, what kind of cultivation is this Xue Rengui now, who is actually able to kill the 'Golden Immortal level demon clan?'

Half an hour has passed, and this Ananda is still telling stories? was interrupted by Li Zhi's words.

"This...... The old slave doesn't know very well, and I haven't seen this kid in a few years. Oh, I don't think I can call him a kid anymore, and he's almost fifty, right?"

"I heard that he has a son who lives in Chang'an City, and I heard that the guy is quite energetic, but he is a little stubborn, and he always chokes on his father......

Well, Li Zhi felt that the old eunuch in front of him really had a gossip heart, and it was really a bit of a condescension not to let him lead the "Lijing Gate".

Wait, Xue Rengui's son, isn't that? ......

"Lao Zhang, is this Xue Rengui's son called 'Xue Dingshan?'

Li Zhi asked coldly, but he startled Ananda.

"Xue Dingshan? It doesn't seem to be, the old slave remembers two words, as for what it is called, the old slave still needs to inquire."

Two words? That's not romance.

Li Zhi didn't ask any further, at this time, he had seen too many "big shots", even if the Xue father and son were too strong, where could they be brave?

What Li Zhi didn't expect was that the "Xue Dingshan" in his mouth was destined to have a great intersection with him.

......

Shuzhong Guanjiang estuary, standing there is a mountain.

Although it is called "Kaishan", it is actually more like an island, surrounded by water, with a radius of less than 20 miles.

The square circle of this mountain is not big, but it is surprisingly high, towering into the clouds, how can it be more than 2,000 zhang high, right? From a distance, it looks more like a pillar that holds up the sky.

And on the open

At the top of the mountain, there is a spacious platform, and there is an independent small courtyard, with three huts in the courtyard, and a pavilion next to it.

Watching the snow in winter and looking at the river in summer, walking willows in spring and eating fish in autumn.

There is always a person sitting in the gazebo, ordinary robes, ordinary appearance, it seems that he likes to sit like that, facing the morning sun and sending away the sunset.

At first, he sat there alone, and for three years no one saw him eat, and no one heard him speak.

If it weren't for the occasional rolling of the eyes, one would even wonder if it was a "stone man"?

Sunrise, sunset, wind, rain, he just sat like that, day after day.

"Sister Xuannu, you see that person is so strange, how long has he been sitting there, what is he looking at?"

"Sister Xuannu, is he really a living person? Why can't I feel that he has cultivation? If you weren't a cultivator, how could you not eat or drink for years?"

"Sister Xuannu......"

Far away, far in the air, a woman's voice came every day.

In fact, there were two women at the same time, but one of them was always cold, and he didn't say a word, and he didn't even look down at it.

She was just accompanying another woman, or maybe it could be regarded as protection, and the other woman was the one who kept asking questions, dressed in green clothes and hanging a sword at her waist.

It's a pity that she asked many times, even for three years, and never got a single answer.

In this way, in the morning they would come and lay down the morning glow, but in the evening they would take it back, sometimes two of them together, sometimes only the woman in Tsing Yi.

One day after another, again and again, three years passed in one fell swoop.

For more than a thousand days and nights, the only thing that remained unchanged was the one sitting in the pavilion and the woman who took the trouble to ask when the sunset was released.

On this day, I don't know where the so-called "Sister Xuannu" went, and only the girl in Tsing Yi remained.

After placing the morning glow again, she habitually glanced at the "Kaishan" in the distance.

It's still that familiar gazebo, it's still that familiar figure, but on one side of that gazebo, there is a new tree that has been planted for three years and actually bloomed overnight!

Yes, it is already April in the world, and even on the 2,000-foot high "Kaishan", it will bloom.

In April, the world is full of fragrant flowers, and the peach blossoms on the top of the mountain begin to bloom.

That's right, it was a peach tree that was planted three years ago, but I didn't expect it to bloom after three years of planting, when will it bear peaches?

"Hey, don't you feel bored sitting there all day?"

Maybe it's because they've been "seeing each other day and night" for three years, and although they haven't communicated with each other in a word, they have subconsciously tacitly acquiesced to being acquaintances.

Maybe it's because only the girl in Tsing Yi came here today, and she habitually asks every day, and there is no "Sister Xuannu" on her side today, so the girl in Tsing Yi actually asked directly to the person sitting in the pavilion.

"Are you talking to me?"

The man looked up at the sky, and two purple lights shot out of his eyes, and he instantly returned to normal.

The "Delusional Golden Pupil" has actually reached the deepest "Purple Level".

"Wow, you can talk! No, no, I mean, why do you sit there all day, don't you have any friends?"

Xu is today's weather is exceptionally sunny, Xu is the peach blossom on the top of the "opening mountain" is too delicate, this woman in Tsing Yi actually relied on her courage and flew over from the distant sky.

"Jingle bell—"

There was a bell sound, and the woman in Tsing Yi had come to the top of the "Kaishan", and it turned out that a string of "silver lock and golden bells" was wrapped around her wrist.

"Friends? I have friends, but I'm the only one here now."

He hadn't spoken for too long, his throat was a little dry, and he glanced at this familiar strange woman, and there was a hint of kindness.

Must have seen her somewhere?

That familiarity, no

Is it from her appearance, but from her breath?

"Wow, why didn't you find out that your peach tree is actually a peach? It's just that how can there be a peach tree in the mortal world?"

got closer, and the woman in Tsing Yi discovered the clue.

In fact, she has been staying high in the sky, and one is too far away to see it really.

Second, there is an enchantment at the top of this "opening mountain", which shields the breath of the peach tree, and from the outside, it is just an ordinary peach tree.

It's just that what makes this person feel strange is that how could this woman, who was only in the middle realm of the "Taiyi Xuan Immortal", easily break into the enchantment he had laid with his own hands?

Although he knew very well in his heart that the enchantment he had laid might be weaker against the peak "Da Luo Jin Immortal", it was rare that the technique of this enchantment was something he was born with.

The power is not too strong, but it is unique in a world and earth, why can this woman easily break it?

"Girl, could it be that only the heavenly court can be called an immortal, and I can only be a mortal world here? It's just a peach, and it's not a rare thing."

This is not blowing Faro, since the flood, I am afraid that no one is more qualified to say this sentence than him, who can eat more peaches than him?

"Why are you like this, I've been here for so long, and I haven't seen you invite me in to sit down?"

The woman in green clothes said this, but her body had already walked in and sat down opposite this person.

It's a pity that in this pavilion, there is nothing but a stone table and two stone benches.

It is very strange that this person was not disgusted by the behavior of the woman in Tsing Yi, but waved his hand and came up with an extra set of tea sets out of thin air.

"This is a method of cooking tea invented by one of my little brothers, and I have never practiced it on weekdays, so the girl can barely drink a cup."

Pick it casually, but it is "Ba Tongue", "green color, high fragrance, sweet aftertaste, beautiful shape", look at the fresh and tender to the extreme, the buds and leaves are quite small, really similar to the tongue of the.

"Wow, you actually have a way to make tea here? I've seen it a few times in the Pottery Palace, and the fragrance is still unforgettable—"

The woman in Tsing Yi held the teacup in both hands and took a sip gently, and her intoxicated appearance suddenly made this person look stupid.

The words "Tao Yang Palace" really fell on this person's ears, and he immediately understood that I am afraid that this woman's identity is not simple.

"Under the Supreme Treasure, haven't you asked the girl's name yet?"

It turned out that the person who had been sitting on the top of the "Kaishan" for three years was the Monkey King who had been reborn after the transformation.

In the past three years, he has not been as decadent as he seems on the surface, but has been recovering his cultivation bit by bit.

Originally, he was a pair of stone eggs on the top of Huaguo Mountain, with both the body of the "Five-Colored Divine Stone" and the essence of the Lingming Stone Monkey.

Although he suffered heavy losses before, he was also blessed by misfortune, and Li Zhi found the complete origin of the Lingming Stone Monkey for him.

In the past three years, he has not only restored the cultivation of the "Great Luo Golden Immortal", but also turned the origin of the Lingming Stone Monkey into his own in one fell swoop.

At this moment, Sun Wukong, or should be temporarily called the Supreme Treasure, the peak of the proper "Da Luo Golden Immortal", the reason why he is still sitting here is to go further.

It's a pity that if you want to move from the peak of the "Great Luo Golden Immortal" to the "quasi-saint", it is extremely difficult, how can it be achieved casually?

"Supreme Treasure? The name doesn't sound too bad, and so does your tea. As for the girl's name, I'll tell you next time—"

The woman in green clothes smiled, and even winked at the Supreme Treasure mischievously.

Reflecting the peach blossoms behind her, the Supreme Treasure was actually stupid......
