Chapter 390: Ten Years of Life Extension
And after taking the benefits, it is natural to need to manifest the spirit, and immediately, the five-element giant that flew to the top of the sky appeared in the sky above the barren mountain, covering the sun and the moon, like Pangu being reborn, and a powerful momentum erupted, making the Tang Emperor and the ministers of civil and military affairs couldn't help but be afraid, and knelt down one by one.
"Tang Taizong Li Shimin, you joined the army at a young age, fought in the east and west, ended decades of war, the credit is in the people, since you succeeded to the country, to govern the country with literature, open up the territory, humbly accept advice, strict economy, so that the people can recuperate, so that the world is peaceful and peaceful, the merit is immeasurable, I give you a pill of elixir today, take it, you can prolong your life for ten years, not invaded by disease."
After speaking, a pill of elixir slowly fell from the sky and was suspended in front of Li Shimin, exuding a dazzling light.
The emperor of this human race has the way of heaven to pay attention to at all times, and no one dares to prolong or reduce the life of these emperors, at this time, it will damage the luck, but Feiyang doesn't care, this Tang Taizong has contributed a lot of luck to the Xuan family, and what if he gives some of it.
For this kind of emperor, they have no shortage of gold, silver and jewelry, no shortage of beautiful women, the most lacking is longevity, like they have countless wealth, how can they be willing to die, which emperor is not trying to find a way to live a few more years.
This Tang Taizong was originally able to live to be in his fifties, but Feiyang added ten years to his lifespan, which is only in his sixties, and it will not have much impact on history.
"Gollum", everyone on the field at this time swallowed a mouthful of saliva, this ten-year lifespan is nothing in the eyes of the monks, but for mortals, it is one-fifth or even one-quarter of the lifespan. Naturally, it is extremely coveted by them, but no one dares to snatch and grab things from the emperor, this is not looking for death.
"Thank you Emperor for the reward", Tang Taizong was ecstatic. Suppressed his excitement, his hands trembled, and he accepted this elixir, he is not the kind of person who is not knowledgeable, in his court, there are disciples of Confucianism and even Xuanjia, and even some Taoist officials and monks, but, among these people. No one dared to extend his life, because it was going to lose a lot of luck, and Feiyang was willing to lose his luck to extend his life, so he naturally got the sincere gratitude of this Tang Emperor.
After seeing this scene, the Five Elements Giant nodded slightly, and immediately disappeared without a trace, while Emperor Tang couldn't wait, so he swallowed this elixir into his stomach. Immediately, I felt refreshed and healthy. Some of the old problems on my body have disappeared in one go.
Suddenly, Emperor Tang secretly decided that after he returned, he would vigorously support the Xuan family and build a large number of flying temples in various parts of the world, even those disciples of Feiyang. They all have to be offered one by one, not for anything else, just for Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and Confucianism, but no one is willing to prolong their life, but the Xuan family has done it. Who can you support if you don't support the Xuan family.
Subsequently, the four of them traveled all the way to the west, the spring was exhausted and the summer was gone, and it was autumn, on this day, it was late, and there were still no people, the four had to rush forward, and walked for a while, and came to a big river, the water was mighty, endless, I didn't know the depth, Bajie picked up a stone, threw it into the water, only to hear a sound of grunting, and immediately quickly said, "Deep, so deep!".
Tang Seng saw that there seemed to be a person not far away, Wukong stepped forward to take a look, and found that it was a stone tablet, engraved with three large characters in seal text, "Tongtian River", and there were two lines of block letters below, "Eight hundred miles away, few people in ancient times".
The master and apprentice were discussing how to cross the river, and suddenly heard the faint sound of drums and cymbals, and Bajie said, "Where there are people who are fasting, let's go and eat some fasting, ask for a ferry, and cross the river tomorrow."
Immediately, Wukong led the way, followed the sound, crossed the river beach, and saw a village, with a population of about four or five hundred households.
Tang Seng got off the horse, let the apprentice wait, came to the door, saw the door half open and half hidden, did not dare to trespass, not long after, an old man came out of the house, hanging Buddha beads around his neck, chanting Amitabha Buddha, came to close the door.
Tang Seng stepped forward to give a salute, and the old man said, "The monk is late, come early, my monk is fast, the rice tube is full, and then give three liters of rice, a section of white cloth, and ten copper coins."
"Old donor, the poor monk was sent to the west to learn scriptures from the Tang Dynasty in the eastern region, passing by your place, I found that it was late, so I came to spend the night, and I left tomorrow morning."
"The Eastern Earth Datang is here for 54,000 miles, how can you come alone?"
"I have three apprentices who have protected me from here."
"Please call the disciples, please come to the house."
Immediately, the three of Wukong came over and scared the old man to the ground, shouting "Youkai!"
Tang Seng picked up the old man and said, "Don't be afraid, old donor, although my apprentice is ugly, he can catch monsters and subjugate monsters."
The old man seemed to believe it or not, leading the way in front, Wukong and the three of them tied their horses, put down their luggage, and broke into the hall.
Tang Seng scolded, "This splash is very rude! bluff the old benefactor, scatter the monks, and disturb other people's Buddhist affairs, isn't this harming me?"
The three of them lowered their hands and bowed their heads, not daring to say anything, the old man Fang Xin was Tang Seng's apprentice, the family heard the commotion in front, came out to take a look, and immediately shouted in unison, "Monster! monster!"
At this moment, another old man came out with a cane and asked, "What demon?"
The old man said, "It's not a monster, it's a monk from Dongtu, and the apprentice looks ugly."
The old man saluted them, sat down with the guests, and commanded, "Look at the tea and fast."
Immediately, several servants tremblingly put on the fast, Tang Seng had not finished reading a volume of "Qi Zhai Sutra", and Bajie had poured five or six bowls of rice into his stomach.
After a while, after the fasting was over, Bajie argued that he was only half-full, and he still had to eat, and was persuaded by Wukong.
Immediately, Tang Seng thanked him and asked, "The old donor's surname is Gao?"
The old man said, "The surname is Chen."
"It's my same clan, my common surname is also Chen, may I ask, what kind of fasting is done in the house?"
"Pre-fasting".
Bajie leaned back with a smile and said, "My father-in-law is really good at lying, how do you know that there are going to be dead people in your family, what do you do to pre-fast?"
The second old man replied with a question, "Why don't you take the right path and come to my village?"
Wukong said, "I was blocked by a river, and when I heard the sound of drums and cymbals, I found a house to spend the night."
"What did you see?".
"I saw a stone tablet".
"A little more upstream, there is a temple of inspiration."
"What inspiration king?".
The two old people couldn't help but shed tears, telling a story, the two old men are brothers, the brother is called Chen Cheng, sixty-three years old, the younger brother's name is Chen Qing, fifty-eight years old, the two have no children when they are fifty years old, so they each have a concubine, Chen Cheng for children, repair bridges and roads, build temples and towers, and give alms to monks, all keep accounts, just used thirty catties of gold, and gave birth to a daughter.
