Chapter 263: Intended to Sacrifice to the Heavens
Tang Emperor Li Zhi, the news of appearing outside the city, spread far and wide.
That night, the lord of the city rushed to the "Wenchengyuan", and he arrived with Pei Xingjian, the governor of the "Western Tibetan Road", and the deputy assassin Shi Song Jing.
At the same time, this great news has also sent the fastest probe horse to report to Tuyuhun and Chang'an City.
This time is different from the past, Li Zhixiao disappeared silently for a few years or even longer, the problem is that he is now the lord of the Tang Dynasty, and such a state of no news still causes a lot of suspicion.
"Alright, didn't I come back safely? Haha, to put it mildly, looking at the entire Three Realms, there are really not many places where I can easily leave behind."
Looking at the people gathered together, Li Zhi still felt a little emotional, especially his own children, in a blink of an eye, even the youngest Li Aoting and Xiao Taiping have grown so big?
"Taiping, this is a new disciple for my father, whose name is 'Shi Ji, let's be behind you-"
Regarding Shi Ji's age, Li Zhi is really not elegant, she doesn't even know if there is a causal relationship between herself, the fourth disciple, and the "Moon Wandering Star" in the Heavenly Court?
That is the one who intercepted the disciples of the Tongtian Sect under the throne of the gods in the battle of the gods, lived in the "White Bone Cave" of Skull Mountain, and was burned back to his true body by Taiyi Zhenren with the magic weapon "Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover", and entered the god list.
At this time, he realized that he was a little casual, and even gave his little apprentice the name "Shiji".
In this way, even if there is no cause and effect, it seems to have artificially created cause and effect?
Not to mention, as a little disciple, he also has the "Tai'a Sword" and "Tai'a Sword Technique" in his hands.
Fortunately, Li Zhi taught her the "Great Wilderness Sutra" after the makeover, and if she also practiced the Shangqing Mystic Method, she really wouldn't be able to say clearly.
Up to now, Li Zhi has accepted a total of four disciples, in order of Bai Suzhen, Xue Dingshan, Shangguan Wan'er and Shi Ji.
The position of the four of them is easy to say, and it is good to strictly follow the order of entry time.
The key is that he still has two sons and two daughters, and they are also commensurate with each other on weekdays, and no one else disputes it, but he has to make a special determination of this Shiji.
"Don't worry, father, Taiping will definitely take care of Shiji's sister—"
From childhood to adulthood, Xiao Taiping has always been the youngest one, and even Li Aoting is more than two months older than her.
There's no way, you can't run away with a sentence of "Brother Ting".
Now a little junior sister has appeared out of thin air, and it is too late for Xiao Taiping to be happy.
"Ding Shan's cultivation has reached the early stage of the Taiyi Golden Immortal, it seems that you haven't abandoned your cultivation because you got married all these years, hahaha-"
Tang Emperor Li Zhi, who was happy, glanced at Xue Dingshan and Fan Lihua next to him, and couldn't help but joke.
The two of them were so ashamed that they didn't dare to reply, but buried their heads lower.
"Ting'er, what's the situation with you?" The pinnacle of Taiyi Golden Immortal? No, there's something wrong with your kid's exercises—"
Rutoro, Indra, Bai Zhen, Luo Tong, Qin Huaiyu...... After greeting each other, Li Zhi stayed on his second son, Li Aoting.
"Lord, the second prince is talented, he is the head of both the human race and the dragon clan, and he has had an adventure in the secret realm of the dragon clan, but Lao Lu has personally supervised it for more than a year, and it is inevitable that his cultivation will skyrocket?"
Lu Toro on the side was upright and fast-talking, and when he saw that Li Zhi was suspicious of Li Aoting's cultivation, he couldn't help but say on the side.
"Old Lu, I didn't mean that, this kid's talent is indeed good, but this shouldn't be the case. Ting'er, what kind of exercises are you practicing in the Dragon Clan now? Take it out for your father to see—"
For his own son, Li Zhi has nothing to shy away from, although there are many people in the hall, except for Song Jing and Songtsan Gampo, who met for the first time, everyone else can be regarded as Li Zhi's descendants.
"Huh? ——」
For his father's request, Li Aoting naturally can't disobey it,
He casually reproduced a jade talisman, and inside it was the "Ancestral Dragon Sutra" he had obtained from the Dragon Clan's secret realm.
"Ting'er, who else knows about this?"
Li Zhi put away the jade talisman without a trace, and asked lightly, without even a trace of surprise on his face.
"This was obtained from the secret realm of the Dragon Clan, and only Niangqin, Uncle Lie, Uncle Moang, and Huanglong's predecessors knew about it, and Ting'er also passed on this skill to Niangqin and Uncle Lie. Father, is there any problem here?"
Seeing the solemnity of his father's question, Li Aoting also hurriedly sat down and replied truthfully.
"Ting'er doesn't need to worry, this is the dragon clan's exercise, your mother and Uncle Lie have cultivated, and they will naturally get twice the result with half the effort."
"It's just that what my father didn't expect was that that Huanglong Zhenren actually had such a big change?"
No one knows more about Huanglong Zhenren than Li Zhi.
It's just that time has changed, and Huanglong Zhenren, who has lived in the flood wilderness for so many years, actually began to turn to the dragon clan again?
Is it true that the prodigal son has turned back, or will there be something boring?
Of course, a Huanglong real person at the peak of the "Great Luo Golden Immortal", Li Zhi really won't take him to heart anymore.
If he really returns to the Dragon Clan, Li Zhi will also welcome him, and his own relationship with the Dragon Clan is now deep-rooted.
Among the four seas, there is only one Dragon Palace in the South China Sea, and Li Zhi is just a little rusty.
......
"Your Majesty the Tang Emperor, dare to ask Her Royal Highness the Princess, why didn't she come back with you? ——」
Songtsen Gampo, who had been waiting on the side, saw that Li Zhi had finished greeting all his subordinates and relatives, so he took a step forward and stepped forward.
The "Her Royal Highness the Princess" in Songtsen Gampo's mouth naturally refers to Princess Wencheng.
In fact, since the Wencheng princess Li Xueyan married to Luocheng City, Songtsen Gampo has been calling her so.
Don't look at the princesses in Tibet, and among the wives and concubines of Songtsen Gampo, there are several princesses who have married from neighbors, but only Princess Wencheng can be called so by Songtsen Gampo.
"Zampu, here's how it happened......
Although the state of Tibet no longer exists, and Songtsen Gampo has also changed from the lord of a country to the lord of the city of Luoqi, in front of everyone, Li Zhi is still willing to call him "Zampu".
Li Zhi told them how they entered the secret realm, of course, where they should be said, what should not be said, he also skillfully covered up the past.
It's not that I don't believe these people in the hall, it's just that some things are known now, and they may not be a good thing for everyone.
"Your Majesty, do you mean that the princess has gone to the ground to cultivate, and when she comes back, she may have already achieved the 'Ancestral Witch Body?' ——」
Songtsen Gampo can not care about other things, but this is from a "great witch" to a "ancestral witch", how can it be a step away?
It's like the Flood Desolation and the Three Realms, there are many "quasi-saints", but there are no saints anymore.
Even more desperate than the march from "quasi-saint" to "saint".
The "saint" is said to have a glimmer of life, as long as the cultivation, realm and perception are achieved, and then the last "Hongmeng Purple Qi" can be found, there is a possibility of becoming the eighth "saint" in heaven and earth.
However, this "ancestral witch" is different, except for Princess Wencheng, that is, the uniqueness of the "great witch" of Jiufeng, all the other "great witches" are simply unable to cultivate the primordial gods.
Li Zhi's affirmative answer made Songtsen Gampo completely excited.
That's the "Ancestral Witch"!
Hou Yi, Xingtian, Kuafu, Chi You......
The power of the Wu clan, which has been famous in history, is just the cultivation of the peak of the "Great Witch", and any "Ancestral Witch" can easily and completely suppress it.
"Your Majesty Emperor Tang, Xiao Wang Bucai, I have done one thing in the past few years, I hope Your Majesty will not blame you!"
After being excited for a long time, Songtsen Gampo suddenly became serious, which is big
The atmosphere in the hall has also changed.
"Oh, I wonder what Zamp has done amazingly? How can I blame you?"
Li Zhi inadvertently looked at Pei Xingjian and Song Jing on the side, and always felt that these two should know something in advance?
"Although there is only one city left in Tibet, there are still 30,000 strong troops of the 'Light Army and' Wolf under its command, and with the relationship of so many years in the past, there are still many small states who are willing to listen to Xiao Wang's opinion."
"In the past three years of His Majesty's trip to the secret realm, Xiao Wang has successively persuaded the seven lords of the country to be willing to respect His Majesty the Tang Dynasty as the co-ruler of the Nanzhan Continent, and also ask His Majesty to accept——"
After Songtsen Gampo finished speaking, he actually lifted his clothes and fell down on his knees in front of Li Zhi.
"This ...... Pei Shuai, do you know about this?"
Li Zhi did not stop Songtsen Gampo's behavior, nor did he help him up at the first time, but looked at Pei Xingjian on the side.
"Your Majesty, what Zampu said is true, in addition to the eight southwestern countries, there are more than 30 countries such as the Northern Territory, the Western Regions, the Eastern Island, and the Southern Xinjiang, and they have also sent similar performances, which have been placed in Your Majesty's 'Daming Palace'."
"Father, Tuyuhun is not only willing to respect you as the co-master, but also willing to merge the entire Tuyuhun into the Tang Dynasty and become the 'Qinghai Dao' of the Tang Dynasty."
Okay, Pei Xingjian just finished speaking, and Xiao Taiping was even more simply, and directly handed over Tuyuhun's global map and household table.
Princess Taiping, who was just eleven years old, had already begun to pull out her height due to her perennial cultivation, and she was more than Ao Ting.
"Haha, you little girl, don't mess around here. Zampu, please hurry up, this matter will wait for the spring of next year, let's go to Chang'an to discuss it again——"
Although he said this, Li Zhi still helped Songtsan Gampo up with one hand, and took over the things in Xiao Taiping's hands honestly and unceremoniously with the other hand.
"Agarwood, on the third day of March next year, on the birthday of Master Xuanyuan, I will worship the heavens outside Chang'an City, you first rush back with Ding Shan and his wife, and personally arrange everything."
Today, Li Zhi no longer has to hide it.
Next year will be the eighteenth year of Yonghui, and the comprehensive national strength of Datang has already far surpassed that of other countries.
In fact, in the past few years of the Demon Punishment War, almost all the countries of the Southern Zhanbu Continent have received the help of the Tang Dynasty.
Even, there are more than a dozen small states, because they were completely wiped out by the demon clan, and they have been managed by the garrison of the Tang Dynasty for several years.
These more than a dozen small countries are dotted around, resulting in the southeast, northwest, and southeast of Nanzhan Buzhou, and there are dragon flags and garrisons of the Tang Dynasty everywhere.
Of course, in order to better promote the development of these more than ten small countries, the Tang regime headed by Fang Xuanling has long formulated a series of favorable policies.
At the same time, capable officials were sent to govern, and with them, it was naturally the huge business group of the Tang Dynasty.
At this time, Kong Yingda, the leader of the literary world of the Tang Dynasty, was also active, and in the entire territory of the Tang Dynasty, he called on young scholars to travel and teach in more than ten small countries as a member of the Confucian family.
Of course, the required school was naturally set up by the Tang Dynasty, and the Ministry of Household and Rites worked together to promote the Tang civilization to the four seas, which has been in full swing in the past three years.
Seeing this, dozens of other countries in Nanzhan Buzhou were not in a hurry, and they also sent envoys to Chang'an to pay their respects.
In the past, they at most sent "Tang envoys" to the Tang Dynasty, or the children of the nobles in the country had the opportunity to study in Chang'an and learn Han culture.
However, the dozen or so city-states that were once quite weak now have the opportunity to learn Han culture, and they can do it at their own doorstep, so there is no need to travel thousands of miles to the Tang Dynasty.
Who wants to leave such a good thing behind?
You must know that the schools established by the Tang Dynasty everywhere not only teach Confucian classics, but also involve hundreds of crafts, laws and mathematics.
After several years of systematic study, each of these dozen city-states has a certain amount
The quota can be recommended to Chang'an City to participate in the Autumn Festival, and enjoy the same scientific examination and official treatment as Datang scholars.
That is to say, those lords of the country are ancestral heirlooms, and they have been pampered and pampered for so many years, and they are used to being powerful and blessed, and if they only take into account the demands of the people, they don't know how many countries want to merge into the Tang Dynasty.
Even so, these countries also retreated to the next best thing, wanting to follow the example of the "Tian Khan" back then, and worship the Tang Dynasty together.
Of course, the influence of today's Tang Emperor Li Zhi in the entire Nanzhan Continent is far from being comparable to that of Li Shimin, the "Heavenly Khan" of the year.
Although almost all the lords of the country have never seen the face of Tang Emperor Li Zhi, they have all seen the majesty of the Tang Dynasty soldiers, especially those generals who lead the army, the elusive "Lijingmen".
When I thought of those fierce and vicious demons, they looked like they were falling apart under the swords of the Tang Dynasty soldiers, and many of the generals who were still like gods in their eyes were actually taught by Tang Huang.
Such a comparison of the world's differences, coupled with the secret layout of the Tang Dynasty's military and political affairs in Nanzhan Buzhou, Tang Emperor Li Zhi has been completely mythologized.
You don't see it, the "Tang Jun Temple" is increasing everywhere, and Li Zhi can be regarded as stepping on the corpse of the demon clan, and gradually spreading his belief in himself to the entire Nanzhan Continent.
And those people in the "Lijing Gate" made some "miracles" in various places in Nanzhan Buzhou from time to time, or fulfilled the small wishes of some people when they prayed in the "Tang Jun Temple".
In this way, the two methods, one hard and one soft, have been used at the same time, and the name of "Tang Jun" has surpassed most other gods.
Not to mention anything else, this "Tang Jun" can really satisfy people's wishes, this is the real "god", even if no one has really seen the face of "Tang Jun", isn't there still the entire Tang Dynasty?
......
"Ting'er, you said you could turn into a silver dragon? Let it be shown to the Father."
It was late at night, and in a secret room in "Wenchengyuan", Li Zhi and his son Ao Ting sat opposite each other.
"Okay—"
After saying yes, Ao Ting disappeared, and instead, a "seven-clawed silver dragon" with a length of more than a foot appeared in the secret room.
"Sure enough, it's the appearance of the ancestral dragon, Ting'er, and relax your primordial spirit, so that your father can take a good look-"
Heaven and earth are infinite, breaking the void -
Li Zhi took the "Delusional Golden Pupil" to the extreme, and a pair of golden eyes directly penetrated Ao Ting's body and landed on his primordial spirit.
Sure enough, on Ao Ting's primordial spirit, there is a mark that is exactly the same as the "seven-clawed silver dragon" he is now incarnating, and with the fluctuation of the primordial god, that silver dragon mark is clear and extinguished, always revealing a trace of weirdness?
"Ting'er, don't resist, try for your father to see if you can remove this mark on your primordial spirit—"
Li Zhi thought about it, but he used the "Heart Dao" that was already fully completed, controlling his mind and turning it into a translucent filament.
The filament of light also invaded Ao Ting's primordial spirit, circling around the silver dragon mark, as if thinking about how to proceed?
Later, this light filament suddenly turned into a translucent dagger, and it was gently scratched on top of Ao Ting's primordial spirit.
"Ah——, Father, it hurts—"
Good guy, just so gently, Xiao Ao Ting can't stand it.
Yuan Shen, that is the second life of the practitioner, and it is also the most sensitive.
Many cultivators, after being killed, even if their physical bodies are blown into scum, as long as the Yuan Shen can escape, they can still cultivate again.
And those who can't get out of the predicament, when they can't solve it, often choose to blow up their original gods, and the power is even ten times more than their actual combat power.
Like Ao Ting now, he opened his primordial spirit, did not do any protection, and let others invade and scratch him, that is, he was facing his father.
"Hey, you're in such a special situation that you can't do anything about it—"
Seeing the pain on his son's face, Li Zhi finally stopped his movements and agreed
When he asked about the "Twelve Pure World White Lotus" in the sea of knowledge.
Decades have passed, but whenever he encounters a difficult problem, Li Zhi has become accustomed to asking this big man for advice, and this time is no exception.
Unfortunately, the result still disappointed him.
In fact, the "Twelve Rank Pure World White Lotus" only said one sentence, and if you want to remove this mark, unless it is the "Twelve Rank Karma Fire Red Lotus".
This answer made Li Zhi very helpless, but he could also understand it.
If you change it to the "Twelve Grades of Karma Fire Red Lotus" and place Ao Ting's primordial spirit in the "Red Lotus Karmic Fire" to calcine, you will definitely be able to remove that mark.
It's a pity that that thing is in the hands of the long-known "Styx Ancestor", not to mention that he Li Zhi has never seen that one now, even if he does, it seems that they are enemies of each other, right?
His concubine, Princess Luojia, took her eldest daughter to leave Luo and leave with that big guy, and it has been more than ten years, right?
Without Princess Luo Jia by his side, Li Zhi seemed to have forgotten about the Heavenly Demon Palace, and Indra and Rutoro did not dare to remind Li Zhi easily.
These two have communicated countless times in private, they know the "Netherworld Blood Sea" best, and they also know the "Styx Ancestor" best, even the Bo Xun Demon King has been captured, can the Tang Emperor do it in the past?
After more than ten years of getting along, people always have feelings, regardless of whether it is an Asura or a human race, not to mention, their little princess Luo Jia is already a concubine of the Tang Dynasty, and she also gave birth to a princess Liluo.
Even if you have the "Twelve Grades of Fire Red Lotus" in hand, it seems to be a matter of nine deaths?
Gently slashing twice with the knife of thought, both of which caused such a big reaction, if it was really burned by the "Red Lotus Karma Fire", Li Zhi didn't dare to imagine what kind of scene it would be.
"Ting'er, 'The ancestral dragon is cultivating through you, but the 'heart path that your father taught you at the beginning can't be left behind.'"
"It seems that this mark on your primordial god should be the masterpiece of that 'ancestral dragon, since he is a ten-clawed silver dragon, then there should be no danger before you advance to the 'quasi-saint'."
This is Li Zhi's final judgment, the "quasi-saint" realm, isn't that early?
If Ao Ting is really going to be promoted to "quasi-saint" one day, Li Zhi will personally protect the Dharma for him, use the innate thing to behead a corpse, and behead this silver dragon mark by the way.
In Li Zhi's view, the worst result is that Ao Ting will lose a "good corpse" or "evil corpse", which is probably the last plan of the "ancestral dragon", right?
......
Li Zhi did not stay in the city for a long time, and did not even go to the city, but lived in the "Wenchengyuan" in the south of the city, and tested the cultivation of his youngest son and youngest daughter.
Not to mention, in the case that Li Zhi is not completely released, this little brother and sister teamed up to be able to fight against Li Zhi for two hundred rounds.
"Ting'er, you have to make good use of this 'Qingyun Sword, I didn't expect this sword to be so powerful in your hands."
At first, this "Qingyun Sword" was taken by Li Zhi from the hands of the Demon Liqing among the Four Heavenly Kings, and he gave it to Ao Ling, and he didn't take a good look at it himself.
Or, in Li Zhi's opinion, the four generals of the demon family are that kind of goods, how powerful the magic weapon will be in their hands, but I didn't expect it to be a little eye-catching.
"Hmph, my father is biased and gave Brother Ting such a powerful spiritual treasure, but Taiping didn't-"
This little girl is really delicious.
Ao Ting has a "Qingyun Sword" in her hand, and Shiji on the side also has a "Tai'a Sword", and she has a sword herself, but it is far inferior to these two swords.
Seeing his little daughter like this, Li Zhi could only smile bitterly.
He has good swords, and there are three floating in the sea of knowledge, "Xuanyuan Sword", "Absolute Immortal Sword" and "Killing Immortal Sword".
The question is, it seems that these three swords can't be given away casually, right?
"Well, my father promised you that in the future I will find one that is no worse than these two of them
The sword will give you—"
In the end, His Majesty the Tang Emperor, who was high above, compromised, and in the face of his eldest son Li Shenxiang and his second son Li Aoting, Li Zhi was able to be tough, but he couldn't face Xiao Taiping.
The people who should have been seen have also been seen, and the things that should be arranged have been explained, and after only staying in "Wenchengyuan" for three days, Li Zhi left with Ao Ting, Xiao Taiping and Shi Ji.
With Li Zhi's personal protection, Rutoro and Indra were left idle.
However, the two of them are not really idle, and it will be more than three months before the third day of March of the next year, and many things still have to be done by the two people at the peak of the "Great Luo Golden Immortal" in person, so that they can receive greater miraculous results.
In the coming year's sacrifice to the sky, Li Zhi really wants to publicize it.
It was not only a grand event for the human race, but at the same time, he would also invite the dragons of the four seas to come and watch the ceremony.
Among the demon clans, there is the ancient demon saint Bai Ze as a representative, and there are also the "Heavenly Wolf Mountain" in Beiju Luzhou, which can barely be regarded as a small scale.
As for the Wu clan, it is naturally represented by Songtsen Gampo, and it would be even better if Princess Wencheng could rush back at that time.
Out of thin air, there is an extra "ancestral witch", and it is the famous ancient nine phoenixes, and the impact caused by it is far greater than that of Songtsen Gampo.
Li Zhi also thought of the high Heavenly Court, especially the Great Heavenly Venerable with a monstrous desire for power, and Li Zhi didn't know how to deal with it for the time being.
However, Erlang Zhenjun Yang Jian, Nezha, the great god of the Three Altars Sea Society, he will definitely send an invitation.
These two are his own brothers, and Yang Jian is his own eldest brother, Li Zhi has reason to believe that even if he makes a big fuss, these two will stand on his side.
"Father, are we going to Tuyuhun first?"
Pinching his fingers, it has been almost two years since Xiao Taiping left the Tuyuhun Palace.
On weekdays, he travels in the mountains and rivers, or cultivates with Ao Ting in the "Wencheng Garden", while waiting for his father to feel nothing.
After leaving the "Tibetan West Road" and entering the territory of Tuyuhun, Xiao Taiping was actually a little homesick and missed his mother.
"Of course, since you have already made the decision to dedicate Tuyuhun to the Tang Dynasty, there is no need for your mother to stay in 'Fu Qi City' anymore."
"The entire Tuyuhun is your fiefdom, the palace of Tuyuhun, and it will be your princess garden in the future."
Co-author Li Zhi went around in a circle, this is to pick up Wu Meiniang back to Chang'an?
The hometown is even more timid, and he doesn't dare to ask anyone.
Not to mention Princess Taiping, even when Li Zhi saw the gate of "Fu Qi City" again, he also had some emotion in his heart.
Tuyuhun, which is also a big country in the southwest border, has now become a part of the Tang Dynasty, and Wu Meiniang's methods can be seen.
Sometimes, Li Zhi even wonders, without the empress "Wu Zetian" in this world, will there be something missing?
......
