Li Shimin slowly opened his eyes, and his whole expression was a little trance.

He walked forward slowly, this is not a meditation room, nor is it Luoyang...... It's not like any place in Datang!

The sky was gray, and the surroundings were covered in fog, making it difficult to see clearly.

"This ...... Where is this? ”

Li Shimin walked forward in a daze.

Suddenly, a black dog appeared at the fork in the road, and the dog spat out its red tongue and pounced on him!

"Li Shimin, give me back my life!"

"Li Shimin, you are so comfortable being the emperor! You're so comfortable! ”

The yin wind struck, but I saw that the black dog was followed by a man with a disheveled head, walking towards him with his teeth and claws, and his hands were stretched out, about to pinch his neck!

Li Shimin panicked in his heart, and when he saw the appearance of the person who came, he was even more devastated!

"Wang ...... Wang Shichong?! You...... Are you a human or a ghost?! ”

"Get out, get out of here!"

His heart was so shocked that he ran away! Deadly run!

Running wildly all the way, before the panic was settled, there was another fork in the road ahead.

At the fork in the road, there were two black shadows shaking.

"Li Shimin, I've been waiting for you for a long time, it's been a long time......"

"You're finally here, you're finally here...... Haha, hahaha......"

Two black shadows rushed towards Li Shimin!

Li Er: "!! ”

The faces and postures of these two people, as well as the voices that spoke...... He's familiar!

When the two of them got closer, Li Shimin was finally sure.

These two, one is Dou Jiande and the other is Liu Wuzhou!

They are all the people he once killed! Right now...... But they came to ask for their lives!

Yourself this is ...... To hell?

"Get out of here, get out of here!"

If he commanded the soldiers and horses to fight, he would not be afraid of these people at all, after all, they were all defeated by his subordinates.

But in this strange venue, he was already unsettled, and these three people came at him with a dog to pounce and bite, how could he parry it under the fear in his heart?

The only way is to run!

Knock knock!

Li Shimin broke free from the shackles of several people and ran forward frantically!

This time, he really even used the strength to breastfeed, and the whole person was so tired that he couldn't breathe, like a pug, sticking out his tongue and panting!

But just when he thought he had thrown off a few people behind him, there was another fork in the road ahead!

At that intersection, there were two people standing.

One has only a body, no head.

One has a head, but there is a big hole in the heart.

Li Shimin's eyes widened, and an indescribable fear rose in his heart.

These two, these two are......

"Second brother, you are so comfortable, you have to go to Mount Tai to seal Zen...... Hehehe...... Big brother is so envious of you......"

"You are the emperor, you can do anything, can you help the eldest brother get his head back?"

The headless man didn't know how to speak, and as he spoke, he walked towards Li Shimin.

Li Shimin: "!! ”

"Second brother, you are so majestic! You're going to Mount Tai to seal the Zen...... Hehehe...... The fourth brother is so envious of you......"

"The fourth brother doesn't ask you for anything else, I ask the second brother to help me get my heart back, hehehe......"

The black shadow with a big hole in his chest also walked towards Li Shimin.

Two people, one is Li Jiancheng, and the other is Li Yuanji!

When he met Dou Jiande and Liu Wuzhou just now, he still had the heart to run away, but when the fairy saw these two brothers, endless fear, shame, and weakness rose in his heart...... Even the legs are weak.

"You guys, don't come here!"

"Don't come here!"

"I don't know, I don't know! Fuck off! ”

He screamed, trying to knock them off, but the two black shadows heard his words, as if they were angry, and sped up towards him!

"Li Shimin! You give me back, you give me back! ”

"Li Shimin! You return my heart, you return my heart! ”

The two turned into hideous hungry ghosts and pounced on Li Shimin's body!

At the same time, the three people behind also chased after him, crying:

"Li Shimin, you give me back my life! Give me my life! ”

"Li Shimin! You give me back my life......"

The five people completely blocked Li Shimin's road, and howled wildly, which made Li Shimin's liver and gall crack, and the whole person trembled violently.

"No, don't!"

"Don't! I...... I! ”

Bang!

Just as he was about to be devoured by the evil spirit, he suddenly felt a pain on his face.

Then, the whole world turned upside down!

The demons are gone, and the weird and terrifying world is gone!

He snapped his eyes open and took a big gulp of fresh air!

In front of him, there was a familiar face.

OK!

It's not Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, it's not Dou Jiande, Liu Wuzhou.

It's Xu Fenglei.

Around, is a quiet meditation room, a place for him to rest......

"Uh, uh......"

Li Shimin covered his heart and groaned softly.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

Xu Fenglei wondered,

"Just now your whole body trembled, as if you were going crazy!"

"I was afraid that something would happen to you, so I gave you a slap...... Are you alright? ”

Li Shimin took several deep breaths in a row before sinking his uneasy heart.

"Whew—thanks to that slap in the face."

He said with palpitations,

"Otherwise, I will be bitten to death by the evil spirit, and I have suffered a nightmare just now...... Damn, I've never had such a terrible dream, I'm horrified! ”

Li Er couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

He'd never dreamed anything like it!

"Ah, in this White Horse Temple meditation room, you will also dream of evil ghosts?"

Xu Fenglei said with a smile,

"It stands to reason that this place of Buddhism is guarded by Vajra, and the Buddha is guarded, so no evil ghost will dare to come, right?"

Li Shimin shook his head.

"Not a demon, not a demon...... It's an old enemy. ”

He straightened up slightly and said softly,

"After all, it was my evil heart that killed them......"

"Come on...... A cigarette. ”

At times like these, there's nothing like a cigarette to calm your mind.

Xu Feng took one out of his arms and lit it for Li Shimin.

A puff of smoke poured in, and Li Shimin's face looked a little better...... That look just now is really white!

It's like being fished out of water.

"It's Jiancheng and Yuanji, they are asking for their lives."

Li Shimin muttered,

"They know that I am going to Mount Tai to seal Zen, and they feel that I am not worthy of going!"

"It's all here......

Xu Fenglei was stunned.

Yes? Built、Yuanji?

Shouldn't this be transferred to the plot of Journey to the West? But Xuanzang has already gone to the west!

"What did they say?"

Xu Feng asked in a row.

"Built to say...... I want me to return my head to him, and Yuan Ji said, I want to return his heart. ”

Li Shimin held a cigarette between his fingers and said with a wry smile,

"There are also Liu Wuzhou and Dou Jiande, they all have to return their lives."

"They are not afraid, they will run if it is a big deal, but as soon as Jiancheng and Yuanji came up, my legs were weak at that time, and I couldn't run, and I was surrounded by them."

"If it weren't for your slap, I'm afraid I would have been eaten and wiped clean by them!"

When Xu Fenglei heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

"It seems that our slap has made a great contribution!"

He quipped,

"Would you like to do it again? The left and right sides should be symmetrical! ”

Li Shimin glared.

"Get out of the way!" He chirped.

This trouble, the fear just now can be regarded as dissipating a lot.

"Seriously, I don't remember...... The head that was built at the beginning, has it been returned? ”

Li Shimin lowered his voice and said,

"And Motoyoshi's heart? You're all in, aren't you? The matter of giving them a burial...... I didn't ask too much. ”

Xu Fenglei was a little dazed.

"I don't want to!" He spread his hands.

After the deed is done, they all celebrate, who cares about this?

"What's the use of you!"

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and reprimanded.

"Whew...... It should be back, right? ”

Xu Fenglei touched his chin and said with some uncertainty,

"I only think that the completed human head was carried by Jingde to scare the emperor, and the effect was achieved, but the human head was buried enough, and it was not formed......"

"As for Motoyoshi's heart...... This, an arrow shattered his heart, where can he be safe? ”

"It was a long time ago...... I don't remember exactly how I got it in the first place. ”

Li Shimin's face darkened.

"Yes! Everything has an effect, there must be a reason, whether it is really them who come to ask for their lives, or it is a nightmare hidden deep in my heart. ”

He said in a deep voice,

"This matter, since I have remembered it, I must get it right, otherwise I will feel uneasy, and it will not be practical to go to Mount Tai to seal Zen."

"How about I make a decree and let people go back to open the coffin for an autopsy?"

Xu Fenglei bowed slightly.

"Yes, yes...... But what if it's really broken? ”

He looked at Li Shimin and couldn't help but say,

"Then for Your Majesty, this is a horror story!"

If it's really broken, is there some possibility...... Is it really that a few of them saw Li Shiminzhi proudly going to seal Zen, and their resentment was even heavier, so that they came to ask for their lives?

It's only possible...... But it's also quite creepy.

Especially for Li Er......

Li Shimin helped his forehead, obviously having a headache.

"If it's really broken, then I can only take care of it."

He gritted his teeth and said,

"How, you know?"

Xu Fenglei groaned slightly, and said:

"If it is according to the practice of Buddhism, then of course it is to overtake them, surpass their souls, let them die honestly, and don't come to trouble you."

"Or according to the tougher way in the Daomen, open the altar and destroy them! If you die, you dare to make trouble, get killed, kill them all! Scatter them! ”

Or give them a head and a heart with mud...... It can be regarded as a substitute, this is a folk method, and it is the same reason as Zhuge Liang used steamed buns to replace the human head sacrifice at the beginning, it is almost OK, it can be used improvised, and it can be regarded as returning their heads and hearts. ”

Li Shimin's heart was shocked.

"Don't, don't let them ...... their souls"

He hurriedly said,

"After all, they are my brothers, I have already killed them once, and I can't kill them again."

"Let's follow the first and third ways, let's do it together, let them live in peace, and don't make trouble again......"

To tell the truth, Li Shimin is sorry and ashamed of his two brothers.

This mentality, with the passage of time, is getting stronger and stronger.

Because people will always instinctively forget the bad things between the two parties and remember the good things in the earlier days.

He often thinks of when he was a child, when his brothers played together, how friendly it was......

But the more I think about it, the stronger this shame becomes, and the more I feel that killing my brother is not a thing.

Maybe...... That's what nightmares come about.

"Okay, Your Majesty will do whatever he says."

Xu Fenglei agreed,

"Whether it's useful or not, no one can say, but let's ask for peace of mind."

Li Shimin nodded.

……

Inside the White Horse Temple, the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

"Master Kongyuan, what I said just now, please."

Li Shimin bowed with his hands folded towards the empty edge, and said seriously,

"The Great Waterway Festival, according to the highest specifications, they all have to be exceeded, all the degrees, you just have to ask the imperial court!"

Kongyuan bowed to Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the old monk will do it well."

He is right,

"As for the use, Your Majesty has already given 10,000 taels of silver, how dare the old monk ask for it again with a cheeky face?"

"Amitabha."

Xu Fenglei smiled.

"It's a bit of a monk." He said heavily.

"Well, prepare early, do it early."

Li Shimin instructed,

"Before I get to Mount Tai, this ritual must be done completely."

He wants to climb Mount Tai with ease, and don't pretend to be uneasy in his heart.

"Yes."

The monk of the empty edge responded,

"The old monk gave His Majesty and Niangniang a copy of the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra, you can read it in your spare time."

"What I just said, 'no obstacles, no terror' is from the Heart Sutra, if you can understand it, Your Majesty and Niangniang will be calm and quiet, and will no longer be disturbed by external objects."

The eldest grandson took the scripture and opened it gently.

Li Shimin smiled bitterly.

"Although I am the Son of Heaven, I also have many troubles of ordinary people! How easy is it to be free of obstacles? ”

He raised his hand and said,

"I can only do as much as I can to make my heart feel more at ease."

"However, thank you Master, I'll see it when I get back, and I'm leaving."

With that, Li Shimin turned around and left.

"Amitabha, send your majesty."

The monks of the White Horse Temple all leaned over and chanted the Buddha's name, watching Li Shimin leave.

"Chi Xing."

Empty edge stroke,

"Hurry up and prepare for all the uses of the waterway conference."

"The old man will personally spend time for His Majesty's two brothers."

……

Outside the temple.

"Erfeng, I like this pure place of Buddhism too."

The eldest grandson Wujian followed Li Shimin's side and said softly,

"When the time comes, when I go back to Chang'an, I will also find a temple and cultivate for a while, maybe my health will be better."

"In fact, when I was thinking nonsense before, I would also think of Jiancheng, Yuanji, and all kinds of imaginary people who were killed by you, who came to me for trouble."

"Now that I have been exceedingly exceeded, I can be at peace in my heart...... But in fact, it has to be said well in this "Heart Sutra", there is no terror without obstacles, I ...... It's the philistines who disturb themselves. ”

Li Shimin's expression tightened.

It turns out that Guanyin also thinks of these things......

"Don't think about it! The sins I have created, the ...... that have nothing to do with you"
