"Kuroro, won't you go and chase Mrs. Takeshi back?——"
"Purple Chen Hall" is the inner court of the "Da Ming Palace". Except for close ministers, few outsiders can go here. Now it is Li Zhi's official residence.
It has been more than a month since the last time Wei Hu came to cause trouble. Today coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival and it is another rare good weather. Li Zhi early ordered people to arrange a night-time moon viewing arrangement in the courtyard of the "Purple Chen Palace" .
Yang Chan, Ao Ling, and the eldest grandson Pingting were all there, and even Li Mingda and Bai Suzhen were invited. However, Li Shimin and his wife were unwilling to go back and forth or get involved in the affairs of the juniors, so they insisted on staying in the "Lizheng Hall" I drank with some old ministers.
Lady Wu was not there, and Li Zhi still held the letter she left in his hand.
Leave a book and run away?
Just yesterday, Li Zhi, under Yang Chan's repeated requests, finally issued an order to confer Lady Wu as the "virtuous concubine" of the Tang Dynasty, ranking at the bottom of the four concubines.
Unexpectedly, early this morning, the maid serving in Wu Niang's womb came over to report that Xian Fei was missing.
As early as more than a month ago, Mrs. Wu's life was saved, but unfortunately her cultivation was gone.
This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Mrs. Wu, who had always been strong. She didn't know how she should spend the rest of her life.
Just when she was desperate and at a loss, the words of Yang Chan, the "Three Holy Mothers", gave Lady Wu another hope of "rebirth".
However, she was asked to do such a thing, even though the other party was Tang Emperor Li Zhi, the person her master said was her destiny.
Among Western Lingshan Buddhism, there is a sect that specializes in this way. It was founded by Chang'er Dingguangxian after he defected to the West. He even called himself the "Happy Buddha".
Unfortunately, Lady Wu scorned this. Once, a disciple of "Happy Buddha" made fun of her, and Lady Wu directly beat her soul to pieces.
Behind her is Maitreya Buddha, who is a true native of Western Buddhism. Compared with half-way monks like Chang Er Dingguang Xian, he is much more upright.
"Sister Wu family, I heard from Jiulang that you were actually supposed to be husband and wife before, but now you are in such a situation that it cannot be saved by Xuanyuan Fang Zhongshu."
"If you are interested in Jiulang, you might as well get the concubine position in the Tang Dynasty. If you are not interested in Jiulang, in fact, the use of Xuanyuan Fang Zhongshu is not as common as people imagine..."
"Three Holy Mothers" Yang Chan looked at the bedridden Madam Wu, who was a little moved and unwilling, so she truthfully explained the essentials and some details of "Xuanyuan Fangzhongshu" to Madam Wu.
Even though they were the only two women in the dormitory, Yang Chan was still stumbling when she spoke. The untouched Lady Wu even blushed with embarrassment and wished she could bury her head in the bed.
However, as smart as Mrs. Wu, she still understood the key and core of "Xuanyuan Fangzhongshu", which was not what she subconsciously thought.
Of course, it was completely different from what she knew and heard about the behavior of the disciples of "Happy Buddha".
After Yang Chan's repeated persuasion, Mrs. Wu finally agreed half-heartedly.
However, she did not accept becoming Li Zhi's woman, but simply placed herself in the position of a "patient".
Lady Wu originally had the realm of "Taiyi Golden Immortal", but now she has no cultivation. How easy is it to fully recover?
In the month after Mrs. Wu agreed, Li Zhi and Mrs. Wu "gathered" three times in "Xunkan Residence", each time lasting seven days.
Finally, after the third time, Wu Niangzi's cultivation level came back completely, even stronger than before, and she directly reached the middle stage of "Taiyi Golden Immortal".
Maybe the "Xuanyuan Fangzhongshu" is too wonderful, maybe the determination of Li Zhi and Wu Niangzi needs to be strengthened, maybe the two of them really left their names on the "Three Life Stones".
Finally, when they "get together" for the third time, the two of them were completely lost in "Xuanyuan Fangzhongshu".
The flower path has never been swept by visitors, and now the gate is opened for you...
Lady Wu completely restored her cultivation, and Li Zhi also reached the peak perfection of "Taiyi Golden Immortal". He had a premonition that his "Daluo Golden Immortal" thunder disaster was not far away.
The recovery of Lady Wu's cultivation is naturally a gratifying thing. As sisters who have been together for more than a month, Yang Chan is naturally happy for Lady Wu.
The attentive Yang Chan even saw the changes in Mrs. Wu. Looking at Li Zhi who was a little at a loss, how could Yang Chan not understand what happened to these two people?
However, this outcome may have been expected by Yang Chan. She did not get angry because of it, and even repeatedly urged Li Zhi to issue the imperial edict to concubine.
Among the four concubines in the early Tang Dynasty, they were noble, virtuous, virtuous, and virtuous. Luo Jia, Ao Ling, and Changsun Pingting already accounted for three of them. The title of "virtuous concubine" happened to be left, and it fell on Lady Wu.
It's a pity that the imperial edict of concubine concubine was issued, and Li Zhi also reported all the procedures to Zongzheng Temple. Only one day has passed, and Lady Wu, who was awarded the "virtuous concubine", has disappeared? ...
"Forget it, maybe she can't accept this arrangement for a while, maybe she has more important things to do."
Something will occur if it belongs to your life, if not, do not push it.
Li Zhi has always had an unclear feeling about Mrs. Wu.
He didn't know whether his actions over the past month or so were appropriate, and he didn't know even more whether this Wu Mei Niang would become the "historical" Wu Mei Niang?
As for whether "Wu Zetian" will appear and replace the Tang Dynasty, Li Zhi is completely confident.
The moon is high in the sky, and the night breeze is slightly cool.
The banquet in the "Purple Chen Hall" has been removed. Little Agarwood couldn't bear the atmosphere and ran into the "Mountains and Rivers Sheji Map" early to play.
It's funny to say that this "Mountains and Rivers Sheji Map" was obviously temporarily lent to Yang Chan by the saint Nuwa for self-defense, but now it has been occupied by his son Chenxiang.
Thinking of this matter, Yang Chan had a headache.
After all, this is the treasure of a saint, and it must be returned sooner or later. However, it seems that Agarwood really likes this "Picture of Mountains, Rivers, and the State".
Yang Chan once mentioned this matter to Li Zhi when no one was around, but Li Zhi laughed "indifferently".
However, after Yang Chan mentioned this matter, Li Zhi actually encouraged his son Duoduo to enter the "Mountains and Rivers Society Map" intentionally or unintentionally.
There is not only rich spiritual energy there, but also many natural and earthly treasures. As a disciple of the saint, Yang Chan must abide by the disciple's ways, but Xiao Chenxiang does not care about these.
But most of the things that he liked, or those that were "pointed out" by his father, became the treasures of little Chenxiang.
Fortunately, the sage temporarily loaned the "Mountains and Rivers Sheji Map" to Yang Chan for three hundred years. In Li Zhi's opinion, this was enough to make his son an upright person. As for three hundred years later, let's wait until then.
...
On the 33rd level, outside the Nantian Gate, the demon army began to gather again.
In the previous round, they had attacked Nantianmen three times in a row. The demons paid a heavy price but failed to take a step into Nantianmen.
"Zhenjun Erlang, these demons are really difficult to deal with. Thousands of people have been killed and injured, and they still refuse to retreat?"
Inside the Nantian Gate, the person responsible for guarding the place at this time is the Heavenly Justice God, "Qingyuan Miao Dao Zhenjun" Yang Jian and Yang Erlang, and the person assisting Erlang God is none other than Twenty-Eight Stars.
They were originally under Emperor Ziwei, but the "Four Heavenly Kings" who originally guarded Nantianmen were defeated by a single charge from the demons headed by Ju Scorpion and Ying Yao.
If Yang Jian had not arrived in time, it is impossible to say that Nantianmen would have fallen into the hands of the demons. Even if Yang Jian took over the command of Nantianmen, he would not be able to stop the overwhelming number of demons?
Yingyao is in the early stage of "Daluo Golden Immortal", and Juscorpion has reached the middle stage of "Daluo Golden Immortal". Then the two "Six Spirit Generals" Gu Yang and Brahman who came one after another also have the early stage of "Daluo Golden Immortal". force.
The four "Da Luo Jinxian" of the demon clan joined forces. Even Yang Jian, who was in the later stage of "Da Luo Jinxian", had superior combat power and only had a slight advantage.
Just a little bit of an advantage.
The arrival of Wutian Buddha's second disciple Xiula completely stopped Yang Jian from leaving Nantianmen easily.
What a joke, Yang Jian is a late-stage cultivation of "Daluo Jinxian", even though he has unparalleled combat power, but this Seura is a "quasi-sage" who can kill a corpse.
Yang Jian decisively sealed the Nantian Gate and relied on the heavenly protective formation to deal with it. At the same time, he sent people to report to the Great Heavenly Lord and asked the twenty-eight constellations by name to come to help.
Although most of the twenty-eight constellations were disciples of the Jie Jiao who died in the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, they were in the same heaven as Yang Jian after they ascended to heaven, and they had a pretty good relationship with some of them in private.
It stands to reason that Nezha, who has returned from reconstruction, should be Yang Jian's best choice. Unfortunately, Nezha was recruited by Taiyi Zhenren as soon as he came back.
It is said that a large number of demons appeared in the Qianyuan Mountain of Taiyi Zhenren, and some low-level disciples were killed countless times. In desperation, Taiyi Zhenren gave the Great Heavenly Lord a talisman.
At that time, outside the Nantian Gate, there were just some suspicious soldiers planted by the demons, and they did not pose any threat to the Nantian Gate. Therefore, the Great Heavenly Lord, as the co-leader of the three realms, had no choice but to send Nezha out.
Firstly, Nezha was originally a disciple of Qianyuan Mountain. Secondly, when Nezha returned this time, he actually broke through the shackles of thousands of years, restored the origin of "Spirit Pearl", and achieved the peak cultivation level of "Daluo Golden Immortal".
Da Tianzun, who always likes to play tricks, also wants to see what the scene will be like when Master Taiyi faces his good disciple again.
The Heavenly Court's sky-protecting formation still uses the "Celestial Star Formation" of the Demon Clan Heavenly Court back then. Even without the formation map, it is still a heaven-defying existence with the stars in the sky.
Furthermore, the heavenly book "Feng Shen Bang" was used by the Great Heavenly Lord as the formation eye of "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Formation". As long as they are within the protection of "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Formation", the combat power of those who are named on the "Feng Shen Bang" will be It can be increased by 30% out of thin air.
Don't underestimate this 30%. This is not an increase in one person's combat power, but an increase in the combat power of all 371 people on the "God List".
Of course, if you are outside the protection of the "Zhoutian Xingdou Formation", this 30% improvement will naturally cease to exist.
"Kang Jinlong, don't underestimate these demons. We have been fighting with the opponent for so long. The opponent only killed and injured thousands of people, but we have killed more than ten thousand heavenly soldiers and generals."
Before Yang Jian could reply, Kui Mulang on the side spoke first.
These twenty-eight constellations are naturally divided into four teams, namely the Eastern Azure Dragon, the Southern Suzaku, the Western White Tiger, and the Northern Xuanwu. The most powerful among these twenty-eight people is none other than Lord Kui Mu Lang.
Because of Li Zhi's relationship, Mr. Kui Mulang is now the closest to Yang Jian. Others may still be unable to contribute, but this Kui Mulang is working hard to help Yang Jian.
"Kuimu Langjun is right. Others can say that the woman who came last is actually in the quasi-sage realm. I am not sure of winning."
As the chief general of Nantianmen, even if Yang Jian knew that he might be defeated, he could not be so stubborn as he said. Personal honor and disgrace were small matters, but the morale of the entire army was big.
"Erlang Zhenjun, can you apply to the Great Heavenly Lord to let the Dou Shengming Buddha who is a guest in the Taoyang Hall come to help?"
"You know, that monkey was originally a warlike master. Now that he has reached the Western Heaven and attained the righteous state, he has even reached the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal. You are no better than Tong Zhenjun."
Everyone has fought against the demons on the opposite side several times, so they naturally know how powerful the opponent is, especially the demon who calls himself "Sura", who appears out of nowhere and is really powerful.
Yang Jian glanced at the Pleiades Star Officer. This person's personal strength can also be ranked in the top five among the twenty-eight stars. This is the second time he has suggested to Yang Jian.
If it were someone else, Yang Jian might consider it. After all, he is also a strong man in the late stage of "Daluo Jinxian", and his strength is really not comparable to his own.
But, if that person is the "Victory Buddha".
.....
Yang Jian stared at the Pleiades Star Officer. The other party seemed not to realize Yang Jian's "gaffe", but Yang Jian remembered the Pleiades Star Officer's other identity.
To be precise, Yang Jian thought of Pleiades Star Official's wife, Pilan Po Bodhisattva who lived in the "Thousand Flower Cave" in Ziyun Mountain.
This Pilampo Bodhisattva, despite her low reputation in the three realms, is also a veteran figure in Buddhism. As early as when it was still called Western Buddhism, she was the same as Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Lingji Bodhisattva and Mahasthamaprapta. Bodhisattvas are also known as the four great Bodhisattvas of Western religions.
Unfortunately, Taoist Duobao entered the West from Jie Jie and directly changed Western religion to Buddhism. After that, he transformed into Tathagata Buddha. The three disciples who followed him and joined Western Buddhism also became one of the new four great Bodhisattvas. Avalokitesvara, Manjusri and Samantabhadra.
Among the original four Bodhisattvas, except for the outstanding Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who still occupies a place, the other three are somewhat lost among the other Bodhisattvas.
Even if he is as powerful as Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, he can only stay far away in the underworld, and he has made the famous oath in the three realms - I will never become a Buddha until hell is empty!
"Mr. Maori Xing, today's Fighting Victory Buddha is no longer the Great Sage Equaling Heaven back then. He is not a member of our Heavenly Court. I cannot transfer him, and I have no right to recruit him."
Yang Jian was temporarily unsure of the intention of the Maorixing Lord. Now that he raised it in public again, Yang Jian could only reply with a salty or bland reply.
...
"Great Heavenly Lord, do you mean to recruit strong men from the entire Three Realms to form an anti-demon army?"
In the "Taoyang Hall", there were several people sitting there, and a monkey whose hands and feet kept shaking. Who could he be if he wasn't Sun Wukong?
"Haha, Sun Dasheng is one of our own, so I don't have to hide him. Although we in heaven have many heavenly soldiers and generals, compared to the demon clan's combat power, they are still inferior."
"Take the demons outside Nantianmen as an example. In just three charges, the casualties caused by both sides were one to three. Moreover, among the demons outside Nantianmen alone, there was a 'quasi-sage' and four powerful Da Luo Jinxian .”
"I heard that the demon clan still has a 'black-robed great protector' who has not yet arrived, and there are four 'six spirit generals', all of whom are above Daluo Jinxian."
"And the 'quasi-sage' strongman outside the Nantian Gate is only the second disciple of Wutian Buddha, so who are his first and third disciples?"
The demons have been wreaking havoc in the three realms for two or three years. Although they have only recently come into contact with the Heavenly Court, with the presence of "clairvoyance", "Shunfeng Ear" and the Great Heavenly Lord's "Haotian Mirror", they naturally have a lot of information.
Faced with Sun Wukong's question, the Great Heavenly Lord did not speak, and Taibai Jinxing, who stood beside him, answered with a smile.
In fact, Taibai Jinxing didn't tell the truth, or he was talking about him.
Is there no one in heaven who can fight?
Of course not, it's just that most of those people are not under the control of the Great Heavenly Lord. Even the Twenty-eight Stars who are currently assisting in Nantianmen were sent here after a long negotiation with Emperor Ziwei.
Although the Great Heavenly Lord didn't say anything, Taibai Jinxing could completely see the frustration and resentment in his heart.
It's a pity that the only generals who can really take action on the Great Heavenly Lord's side are Yang Jian and Nezha.
Of course, in order to recruit a son-in-law for Yang Chan, he competed outside the Nantianmen, and finally harvested the great sage who expelled the gods, and is now the rolling curtain general King Yu Tao. He can also be regarded as a good general.
As for other people, haha, Great Heavenly Lord is not sure whether he will have greater appeal than Yang Jian.
Seeing King Yu Tao, the Great Heavenly Lord unconsciously thought of that arena. It would be great if Li Zhi was not the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Yes, compared to Li Zhi, the Great Heavenly Lord suddenly felt that the Yu Tao King in front of him was not so good.
However, it was precisely because of that arena that the Great Heavenly Lord saw a new way to recruit capable subordinates.
But now the demons are surrounding the south
You can't go out to compete outside Tianmen anymore, right?
Besides, what is needed now is not just one or two people, but a sufficient amount of combat power. At least the combat power of "Daluo Jinxian" or above cannot be much less than that of the demons, right?
"Then, I wonder what I, Old Sun, can do for the Great Heavenly Lord?"
After listening to Taibai Jinxing's words, Sun Wukong rolled his eyes and stood up with great interest.
"Haha, Wukong, even though you have entered Buddhism and become the Victorious Buddha in the West, in my eyes, you are still the Monkey King of Heaven."
"You may not know that even though hundreds of years have passed, I still let people keep the Monkey King's Palace that you had back then."...
"Buddhism pays attention to cause and effect. Now that the spiritual mountain has disappeared and the Tathagata Buddha has disappeared, why don't you, Wukong, stay in heaven for the time being and still be your Monkey King?"
When the Great Heavenly Lord said these words, he blinked his eyes twice, seeming to be full of appreciation and reluctance for Sun Wukong.
On the side, Taibai Jinxing lowered his head and did not dare to look at the Great Heavenly Lord on the main seat. He was afraid that he could not hide his true feelings.
The Monkey King's Palace that the Great Heavenly Lord mentioned was the one he had just sent to secretly supervise the completion of its construction. Fortunately, the same craftsmen from back then were still there, so it would not be difficult to quickly restore it to its original state.
"Hey, since there is such a good thing, I, the old grandson, will naturally not turn it down. So, how about recruiting an anti-demon army in the three realms, why not leave it to me, the old grandson? You can't just take the salary and do nothing, right?"
Seeing Sun Wukong being so "advanced", what else could the Great Heavenly Master be dissatisfied with?
"Haha, okay. Originally, I have handed over the responsibility of General Curtain Curtain and Lord Wude Xing to this matter. Since Wukong also intends to contribute, why not I also give you fifty places."
"Remember, what I need this time is someone who is capable of fighting, at least someone who is above the level of Taiyi Xuanxian. It is better to have a shortage than to have too much."
Good guy, we originally planned to recruit a hundred casual cultivators in the Three Realms. As soon as Sun Wukong agreed to stay in Heaven, our Great Heavenly Lord directly gave away half of the places.
You must know that this is not a simple matter of numbers. Every time a person is recruited from Heavenly Court, a corresponding salary must be given, which is the so-called official position and training resources.
These are not unlimited. Even if he is the Great Heavenly Lord, the nominal master of the three realms, the resources he can really mobilize are limited.
However, when something big happens, not having a powerful force that belongs to him in his hands has always been something that the Great Heavenly Lord is worried about.
He has been planning this for a long time, and today he just took advantage of the demon clan's attack to announce it openly and openly.
"Sun Dasheng, from now on we are colleagues again, please take good care of me -"
In the "Taoyang Hall", the Great Heavenly Lord is sitting in the middle. Standing beside him is Taibai Jinxian, and guarding the door of the hall is the rolling curtain general King Yu Tao.
There were two other people present with Sun Wukong. The one who took the initiative to greet Sun Wukong was also his old acquaintance Wu De Xingjun.
There is another person sitting, who is the general in front of the Great Heavenly Lord, Wang Lingguan, who is responsible for the duty of inspection in heaven and earth.
"Three eyes can see things in the world, and one whip can wake up the world."
This is also the current Taoist Dharma Protector and Mountain God General, and his status in Buddhism is somewhat similar to that of Wei Hu.
He has a red face and beard, wearing golden armor and red robes, with three glaring eyes, standing on a hot wheel, holding a golden seal on the left and a golden whip on the right. The image is extremely powerful and brave, which is intimidating.
This Wang Lingguan is also a "three-eyed general", but the eye on his forehead is an out-and-out "fiery eye and golden eye", which is much inferior to Erlang Shen's heavenly eye.
I remember back then, when Sun Wukong jumped out of Taishang Laojun's Bagua furnace, he fought all the way to Lingxiao Palace. If Wang Lingguan hadn't tried his best to resist, I don't know how much trouble this monkey could have made.
