Chapter 158: King Tang abdicates to wait for immortal fate
King Qin Guang announced, "Fairy, this is the entrance to the eighteenth layer of hell. ”
The woman nodded and said, "Well, yes, I'm sorry for you, go back." ”
King Qin Guang hurriedly said that he didn't dare, so he hurriedly went back.
The woman didn't pay attention to it anymore, and with a gesture of her hand, she took out a triangular giant flag, which was all black, dragging six flags, and the black gas appeared from time to time, which was very weird.
The woman held the banner in her hand, but did not shake it, and directly broke into the great array of soul locks, and when she saw the entrance, she jumped into it.
It was night, and the cool breeze was gently blowing everything in the night, the nightingale was chirping, and the leaves were swirling.
In the sky at night, there is no bright moon hanging high, shining on the earth, but there are many stars rotating in the sky, sprinkling silver-white brilliance, illuminating this dark night scene dimly, making people unable to see clearly, but there is a little more strange atmosphere.
At this time, there was a person sitting on top of a big tree in the distance, wearing a gossip robe and a Taoist costume, who was Wukong.
Since saving Li Shimin's life, he was regarded as a guest by Li Shimin and stayed in the palace.
However, Wukong can be regarded as a concern, and he snatched Tang Sanzang's scriptures in West Tianling Mountain on a whim.
It is precisely because of this that Li Shimin's demonic obstacle has not disappeared and he has been infested by evil ghosts.
At that time, Wukong didn't think about it, but now that the Tao is making great progress, he naturally knows some of the implications, and this Li Shimin is not shallow, and his life should not be extinguished, so he saved him.
Although this includes the help of Taishang Laojun, for Wukong himself, it can be regarded as a success.
Although he is comfortable in the palace, with Wukong's temperament, he is not a quiet lord, and he is bored to death tonight, so he comes out to relax.
Sitting on this canopy, the cool breeze blows, and the power is working, quietly pranayama, but it is also pure and comfortable.
Taking two deep breaths and sitting quietly for a moment, Wukong took out a blood-red book from his arms.
This is the Blood Book, hold it in your hand and look through it, but it is based on blood red, engraved with golden fonts, all of which are simple seal scripts.
Every word is only the size of an ant, dense, and very messy.
When Wukong was in Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, he had nothing to do, and he would also go through some of the classics of Patriarch Subodhi there with Lingxue Fairy.
Those are also the same as in this book, they are quaint seal texts, and I don't know how Su Bodhi Patriarch got them, Wukong didn't recognize these messy words at the beginning, and Lingxue didn't recognize them either, so he asked those fellow disciples.
Although I have only learned a little bit of the surface, it is not too rusty to look at these words at this time.
Wukong took a cursory look at the contents of this blood book, but he only knew it roughly, this is a book that records some things in ancient times, probably some secret stories of the ancient netherworld and demon clans.
Wukong just looked at one or two layers of meaning, and there are some similar exercises and mantras in it, strange things, but Wukong can't understand it now, and he can't understand the meaning of it, as for practice, it's even more impossible to talk about.
He didn't care, anyway, the years are endless, and there is time, so it's not too late to just wait for the future to cultivate.
The most important thing now is to finish what you want to do this time, and then hurry back to Huaguo Mountain and be the Monkey King again.
After looking at it for a while, I couldn't figure it out, and it was really boring, so I put it away and looked up at the stars in the sky.
Suddenly, I saw a sword light shooting out, extremely fast, straight into the distance.
But it was a person, who stepped on the sword under his feet, and Wukong could see clearly that that person was Yuan Tiangang.
Seeing that his sword light was heading towards the west, Wukong didn't care, just shook his head and smiled.
Just as he was about to get up, his ears suddenly moved, but he drove the clouds, and a heel fight reached the sky above the imperial city, and saw a eunuch walk into the imperial study.
Wukong waited a little longer, and saw the eunuch walking out of it with a golden approval document in his hand.
Wukong understood, and he secretly said in his heart: "It seems that this Li Shimin really understands what Lao Sun means, okay, the opportunity has come, and he is about to save him." ”
After thinking about it, he went down and entered the imperial study.
Seeing that Li Shimin was putting down the brush in his hand, holding the dragon chair, he sighed to himself.
When he saw Wukong coming in, he was slightly surprised, so he hurriedly greeted him: "The immortal chief came to look for me late at night, I don't know what happened?"
Wukong gave a salute and said: "Oh, tonight the moon is hidden and the stars are out, and the poor road is idle, so I came out to enjoy it, because I heard His Majesty's sad sigh, so I came to take a look." ”
"I see, the immortal chief has a heart!" Li Shimin said with a smile.
Wukong said: "Your Majesty, why is it troublesome, can the poor Dao do his best?"
Li Shimin was silent, but Wukong said: "Since Your Majesty has already made a decision, why sigh again?"
Li Shimin had no choice but to smile bitterly and nodded.
Wukong said: "Your Majesty doesn't have to be anxious, as the so-called loss can have gain, wait until then the Tao is complete, become an immortal, realize the true mystery, step on the clouds, go to the nine heavens, immortality, how comfortable and carefree, is it not better than the worldly world in this mortal world, the interests of imperial power?"
Wukong's words broke Li Shimin's thoughts, and he threw out the colorful head, plus the previous promise, but he was not afraid that Li Shimin would not take the bait.
Sure enough, when Li Shimin heard this, he immediately said: "Can the immortal really become an immortal and live forever?"
Most of the courtiers under Li Shimin are cultivators, although they may not have any great means and can afford any wind and rain, but each of them is a long-lived immortal.
There are a few people who are profound, and they are already 1,800 years old, and the few are four or five hundred years old.
And these people, they are all not old, walking like flying, which really makes Li Shimin envious.
If they don't die, their status in the court will naturally remain unchanged, and Li Shimin has no choice but to order that some new officials be elected every 20 years, and those old ministers will all retire.
According to the court's fortune, he was summoned to the palace again when there was something to do, and he listened to his orders, and Li Shimin himself was already greedy.
However, if he wants to cultivate immortals, he doesn't know the method, and he can't pull his face and let these courtiers teach, otherwise, why doesn't he want to live forever and stay forever.
Since ancient times, there has been an emperor who does not want to live forever, even Qin Shi Huang in the Qin Dynasty dreamed of the art of immortality, to the extent of obsession, let alone Li Shimin.
What Qin Shi Huang couldn't do, now suddenly fell in front of his eyes, and it was at his fingertips, where could he let it go?
Wukong was secretly happy, so he smiled and said: "There is nothing difficult in the world, I am afraid that there are people with hearts, as long as you devote yourself to practice, you can naturally do it!"
Li Shimin is overjoyed, as long as he can become an immortal, then this thousands of miles of rivers and mountains can be handed over to his son to take care of, and if he cultivates into an immortal, he can naturally ensure the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and any price is worth it.
Wukong applauded and said: "Cultivation must be distracted, Your Majesty still has obstacles, poor Dao gives Your Majesty a volume of "Huang Ting Jing", Your Majesty can recite it in the morning and evening, eliminate distracting thoughts in your heart, and have the opportunity to become an immortal." ”
Li Shimin said: "I only have the "Tao Te Ching" and so on, but this "Huang Ting Jing" is unknown, and I still need to be taught by the immortals. ”
Wukong nodded, Li Shimin sat on the throne, and Wukong also found a chair to sit down.
At that moment, he ordered someone to serve fragrant tea, and Wukong orally passed on a volume of Li Shimin's "Huang Ting Jing", and Li Shimin naturally understood it and immediately remembered it in his heart.
The two talked for a while, and the words were also speculative, talking for a while, drinking a few cups of tea, eating some fruit, Wukong saw that it was already past the ugly, and quickly got up to say goodbye and went.
Nothing at the moment.
Li Shimin had already understood in his heart and determined the path of cultivating immortals, so he was naturally very happy in his heart.
Probably people are in good spirits when they are happy, but they do not turn back to the harem, in the imperial study, Wu Zi silently recited the "Huang Ting Jing", read a volume, read it again, and then went to sleep again, not to mention.
Another day passed, nothing happened, only one person came from the Bodhi Temple in the southern city of Tianzhu Kingdom in the west, to see the Mahayana Zen monk, Bodhidharma Zen Master.
Li Shimin has arranged everything properly in his country, and the Tang Dynasty was originally under Li Shimin's governance, and it was already a country and a peaceful country, the court was fine, and the ministers were harmonious.
It was just a holy decree to ask a few henchmen and famous generals to support the new lord in the future, not to be lazy, and so on, these ministers naturally obeyed the order, so naturally it would not take much time.
Li Shimin is relaxed, as long as he gives an edict, he will only wait for the cultivation of immortals.
On the fifth day, those courtiers, whether they were old ministers in the past or new ministers now, were all recruited into the palace by the Holy Decree, and Wukong also stood in the first place.
After the ministers bowed, some eunuchs held the edict and handed it to the prime minister to read.
The prime minister said: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, the ancient Ming monarch ruled the world by relying on virtuous ministers, and the faint monarch misled the country to the ministers, and I returned to the yin and yang twice, which is really a great blessing, and I am very relieved." However, the first thing to open the golden ** generation, the succession to the throne, the golden mouth, a word, although the yang is returned, but the preface must not be violated. The crown prince Li Zhi succeeded me and ascended to the throne as the king, and you need to be fully assisted to protect the country and the country, and conform to humanity, and you must not violate your will, and do it according to your will, and do not disobey the will, and you must do this!"
When the ministers heard this, they were all stunned and at a loss.
But he knelt on the ground, not daring to answer the order.
In the middle of the night, an old minister, bold, started to admonish: "Your Majesty, the ministers dare not accept the order, this throne is not child's play, how can it be said that you will retreat?
Li Shimin said: "The widow has gone back and forth to Yin and Yang twice, he is already physically and mentally exhausted, and he has words first, and he can't change it, otherwise he will lose his credit, how to govern the country and benefit the people? ”
When these ministers saw that the emperor had made up their minds, they took turns to admonish them, but to no avail.
It was expected that the persuasion would not move, so he pinned his hopes on several of Li Shimin's confidants and ministers, and they all looked at Qin Shubao, Cheng Yanjin, Wei Chigong and others.
But they are all earth immortals who are not shallow, they have a faint glimpse of a little heavenly opportunity, and they have already obtained Li Shimin's secret decree, and they know that it has been arranged a long time ago, so they are naturally indifferent.
Everyone had no choice but to use the dead horse as a live horse doctor, and asked for Wukong's head.
He is an outsider, so naturally he ignores it.
At this time, everyone was completely dead and no longer tried to persuade them.
The crown prince Li Zhi couldn't, so he could only accept the will and prepare to ascend to the palace as the king. Now, all these things are settled.
