Another "quasi-sage" strong man? ——
After the colorful light, another person appeared in the "Mainxiong Palace", but Li Zhi was stunned.
He was sure that it was a man who came, but this man was too... beautiful, right?
Yes, although it was a man who came, Li Zhi also felt that the word "beautiful" should be used to describe this person. Even if Li Zhi had witnessed the miraculous "Three Major Magic Arts of Asia" in later generations, he could not be the same as before him. This person is comparable.
The beauty of this man is not the kind of feminine beauty. He is handsome and extraordinary in every aspect. He is full of arrogance at a glance, but it makes people feel that he should be like this.
The most important thing is that this person is not only surprisingly "beautiful", but he is also a "quasi-sage" strong man who killed two corpses?
Even in Li Zhi's opinion, perhaps only the Tathagata Buddha in the entire "Mahatma Palace" can fight with him. I am afraid that even the Ancient Buddha of Randen and the Buddha from the East may not be his opponent.
Among the big guys that Li Zhi met, those who could rival this person in terms of strength would definitely not be more than one-handed.
Who is this person?
Of course Li Zhi didn't know this person, and he hadn't even met Sun Wukong, but Yang Jian and Nezha were very familiar with him.
When they were conferred as gods, the two of them suffered a lot at the hands of each other. Not to mention that they only had the cultivation level of the Golden Immortal. Even if they were transferred to the current ones, they might not be able to get an advantage in the hands of this person.
"Amitabha, it turns out that the 'Peacock King' has arrived. I am not greeted at a distance, but what can the saint teach me?" ——"
Seeing this person, Tathagata Buddha even bowed slightly on top of the "Golden Lotus of Ninth Grade Merits".
It turns out that the person who came was actually Kong Xuan, the "Peacock King of Ming Dynasty". No wonder he was so charming!
"The body is like gold reflecting fire, and a cage of armor is bright. The broad sword and the red horse are majestic. Five rays of light are visible. I have seen the creation of the sky and the earth, and I have seen the sun, moon and stars."
Kong Xuan had already attained enlightenment during the period of chaos. He witnessed the creation of the world by the great god Pangu, who was the first peacock in the world.
His natal magical power, "Five Color Divine Light", can be said to be everything within the five elements, and it shines brightly when he becomes a god.
He was born an arrogant master. Although he was born as a peacock, he did not belong to the Jie Cult. Of course, he looked down upon the Chan Cult at that time, which was an out-and-out "casual cultivator".
Not to mention the junior brothers Yang Jian, Wei Hu, Lei Zhenzi and Nezha at that time, even Yu Yixian, Lu Ya, Ran Deng and others all worshiped under Kong Xuan one by one. They were truly "among the saints" at that time. The first person to get off."
Later, even if Chunti, one of the Western saints, took action himself, the "Seven Treasures Tree" was wiped out by Kong Xuan's "Five-Colored Divine Light", but his "Five-Colored Divine Light" was also destroyed by the Dharma Body of Saint Chunti. ”.
With the words "I am destined to be a Buddha", he was finally conquered by Saint Chunti, became the saint's mount and protector, and was named the "Peacock Great Bright King" Bodhisattva.
Although he is called a Bodhisattva, he is not one of the spiritual mountains. He usually practices in the Snowy Mountains in the far west. Without setting foot in the three realms, not even the Tathagata Buddha can command him.
"Sage Zhunti has a decree to go to the Purple Sky Palace with the Tathagata Buddha. All matters in Lingshan will be temporarily handled by the Buddha from the East, and the Buddha of Zhantan Merit will assist from the side - "
Kong Xuan ignored Tathagata Buddha's overtures, and even with so many people in the "Mahatma Hall", he didn't even take a second look.
"We will obey the sage's instructions——"
The Tathagata Buddha, Donglai Buddha and Master Xuanzang who were mentioned by Kong Xuan all bowed and agreed one by one. All three of them had expressionless faces. What they were thinking in their hearts was not something others could know.
"King Peacock Ming, I wonder when the saint wants me to set off. Will it be after the incident at Lingshan is over?..."
Tathagata Buddha glanced at Li Zhi and the people behind Li Zhi.
After all, there are dozens of "outsiders" here, not to mention the tens of thousands of troops at the foot of Lingshan Mountain. He is the lord of Lingshan Mountain, and he hasn't figured out everything at home. Can he just leave?
"You are Datang
Li Zhi, the new 'Human Emperor'?——"
After hearing Tathagata's question, Kong Xuan seemed to have thought of something. He glanced around the "Mainxiong Palace" and then fixed his eyes on Li Zhi.
"Yes, I am none other than Li Zhi of the human race——"
When two sharp glances came to him, Li Zhi felt as if he was about to be seen through, and he hurriedly calmed down.
"Well, that's right. Judging from his demeanor, he is somewhat of a 'Human Emperor'. However, in today's Three Realms... if you want to become a true 'Human Emperor', it will be extremely difficult -"
Kong Xuan seemed to have thought of something, and there was a strange expression in his eyes.
Maybe, he is missing the last "Human Emperor" of the human race?
"The Tathagata Buddha will follow me to the Purple Sky Palace to return his life to the saint. Since the demon clan has been destroyed, it is time for the emperor's army to withdraw and return his life to the Great Heavenly Lord——"
What's strange is that Kong Xuan, who is so arrogant, has an attitude towards Li Zhi, the "Human Emperor"...how should I put it, although it can't be said that he is close, he doesn't feel too much indifference.
"Since it is the first person among the saints who has spoken, I should obey it and lead everyone to withdraw from Lingshan——"
Li Zhi also had a feeling in his heart. Looking at the situation in front of him, his four brothers would definitely not be able to get any benefits, so they might as well just give up.
He called Kong Xuan "the first person among the saints" instead of "Peacock King Ming" as everyone called him, which was to intentionally separate him from Buddhism.
Of course, Li Zhi didn't know whether it would have any effect, but he wouldn't suffer any loss anyway.
But Li Zhi vaguely felt that maybe Kong Xuan himself would not be interested in the title given by Buddhism.
Looking at the gathering of Buddhist bigwigs in the "Mainxiong Hall", Li Zhi suddenly had a strange idea.
There are so many powerful people in Buddhism, how could the demons take over Lingshan Mountain?
Among the entire demon clan, except for the "Wutian Buddha" who mysteriously disappeared, there seems to be no real strong person?
The Tathagata Buddha, the Ancient Buddha of Lantern, the Buddha from the East, the Medicine Buddha, the Four Great Bodhisattvas, etc., the powerful "quasi-sage" of one water, the three Buddhas, any combination of two people can withstand the "incomparable" one. "Heavenly Buddha"?
Not to mention this Kong Xuan, the distance from Daxue Mountain to Lingshan Mountain, if he wanted to come, he might be able to turn the Lingshan Mountain occupied by the demons upside down, right?
...
"Master Xuanzang, why didn't you stay in Lingshan instead of leaving with me?"
Li Zhi and others still left Lingshan, and tens of thousands of soldiers dispersed, each going back to his home.
The first people to leave were the Tianting people. After all, they had won the battle. Although the Tianting team was the most severely damaged in this battle, Li Jing had less than 20,000 men under his command.
The "God-given Guards" led by Wang Lingguan were also destroyed by more than half.
There was no way, who let him make his own decisions in the "Nine Bends of the Yellow River Formation", most people died in the formation.
After all the great waves, gold was found. The "Tianci Guards" had been disabled and reorganized several times. Now there are only over forty people left, but the remaining people are all smiling.
Therefore, the treatment of the "Tianci Guard" has always been generous. It must be that the reward given by the Great Heavenly Lord this time when he returns to heaven is definitely a considerable number.
Li Zhi saw that among the "Tianci Guards", there was only one Taoist behind Wang Lingguan, Taoist Baoxiang, and he was also the first person Li Zhi really took under his command.
Decades have passed, Taoist Baoxiang's injuries from the past have long been healed, and after these years of training in the "Tianci Guards", he has already reached the level of "Daluo Jinxian" in the middle stage.
In terms of qualifications, cultivation, experience, and military exploits, Taoist Baoxiang actually managed to become one of the only remaining veterans of the "Tianci Guards."
Judging from his position, he is already second only to Wang Lingguan among the entire "Tianci Guards".
During this meeting, Li Zhi secretly passed on the "Great Wilderness Sutra" to Taoist Baoxiang.
This "quasi-sage" level technique obtained from the remnant soul of the Eastern Emperor is now practiced by several people.
Demon Saint Bai Ze, eldest disciple Bai Suzhen, fourth disciple Shi Ji, and even Hei Guan, Bai He, Bai Zhi and Xue Qian were passed down.
Anyway, this is a book of techniques from the demon clan. Anyone who has not yet reached the level of "quasi-sage" can study it. The only exception is Prince Chenxiang.
That guy is simply a weirdo. Even Li Zhi can't tell what his future will be like. As long as it's a good skill, he will accept it no matter what race it is.
Taoist Baoxiang is not like Izumoko, Jiuche, Xiaobailong and others before him. He is also like the Supreme Treasure on the surface at that time. In the eyes of Great Heavenly Lord, such a person is truly worth winning over.
There is no backstage or background.
It's a pity that in the battle of Lingshan, the Supreme Treasure turned into Sun Wukong. I still don't know what the expression of the Great Heavenly Lord in heaven will be when he knows the truth?
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Sun Wukong's identity has been restored. Whether it is Li Zhi, Yang Jian or Nezha, they must have known the inside story beforehand.
For the Great Heavenly Lord, Li Zhi's side is probably better, but Yang Jian and Nezha's "knowing without reporting" will make the Great Heavenly Lord feel unhappy to some extent.
"Amitabha, the mission of the poor monk has not been completed. Unless the emperor's Tang Dynasty cannot accommodate the poor monk, the poor monk will still have to settle in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda."
Master Xuanzang naturally knew what Li Zhi meant. During this trip to Lingshan, Master Xuanzang hardly had any time to speak except when fighting against the demons.
However, he has gained a lot. After all, he has killed two corpses now, and his cultivation and realm have improved a lot.
It’s just Lingshan now...
The Tathagata Buddha returned briefly and was once again taken to the "Purple Sky Palace" by Kong Xuan. During this period, he mainly fought with the four brothers Li Zhi. Master Xuanzang, the second disciple of the Tathagata, did not even have the opportunity to come forward and greet him?
"Okay, my Tang Dynasty is eclectic, whether it is Taoism, Buddhism, or the demon clan, shaman clan, or asura clan, I will treat them just like the human clan."
"As long as we abide by the laws of the Tang Dynasty, we are all citizens of the Tang Dynasty. However, if there are women who commit crimes, they will also be punished by the laws of the Tang Dynasty——"
Li Zhi is really not afraid of the spread of Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty. With the two skills of "Ti Jue" and "Heart Dao", there are countless "Tangjun Temples" all over the southern continent. Li Zhi's belief in him is This is the general trend for the entire southern continent in the future.
Without him, all requests will be answered.
Today's "Li Jingmen" has been expanded again and again, and there are three leaders. One is the original Yan Chixia, and the other is Yuan Tiangang, who was later appointed by Li Zhi.
The last one left is naturally Ao Ling, one of the concubines in Li Zhi's harem.
Anyway, Ao Ling was busy all day long. Her "Dragon Girl Temple" was already one of the most popular temples in the Tang Dynasty, second only to the "Tangjun Temple", but it was also ranked among the newly-established "Three Emperors Temple". superior.
After receiving Li Zhi's public commitment, Master Xuanzang clasped his hands together, recited the Buddha's name in a low voice, and left happily.
"Hey, I really envy you, old pig. If it weren't for the position of Marshal Tianpeng, I would also like to follow Jiulang to Chang'an. How wonderful the fireworks in the world are -"
After the Twenty-Eight Constellations also came to say goodbye, the last wave in Heaven was Zhu Bajie. He looked at Sun Wukong and Little White Dragon, and if he added the Master Xuanzang who had just left, the team would basically be complete.
"Haha, do you want me to build you a mansion in Chang'an? Chang'an City has expanded several times now. It's not a problem to arrange a residence for the second senior brother--"
Whether it's true or not, Li Zhi wants to express his gratitude to Zhu Bajie.
Before the western expedition to Lingshan, who could predict that this battle would be won?
However, Zhu Bajie came resolutely, bringing with him more than a thousand of the most capable generals in the Tianhe navy.
Although on the surface he only represents Zhu Bajie's personal identity, who can tell the truth behind it?
"Really? Then it's time to have sex. Kuro is now the lord of the country. This is a golden word and you can't go back on it! Boy, come here -"
Zhu Bajie is really the master of the pole. Hearing what Li Zhi said, he waved his only son
Zizhu Yijie called over.
This kid is also at the peak level of "Taiyi Golden Immortal", so this battle against demons can be regarded as a small test of his skills.
Of course, as long as this little pig appears, he will be accompanied by the most elite combat power of the Tianhe navy.
There is one seedling in a thousand hectares of land, and the old pig cannot let his son make any mistakes.
"Jiulang, since there is already Lao Zhu's mansion in Chang'an City, let my son live in it first. I think he gets along well with your son and disciples, so you can take him with him -"
Hey, Li Zhi really didn't expect that he just said something polite casually, but this second senior brother really took it seriously and even sent his only son over.
"Haha, that's fine. Dozens of courtyards have been prepared in the newly expanded Tianjie. Senior brother, senior brother Ao, eldest brother, and second brother can all choose one."
The original scale of Chang'an City could no longer meet Li Zhi's needs.
What's more important is that if powerful practitioners are allowed to live together with ordinary people, problems will definitely arise over time.
Therefore, Li Zhi used great power to move Chang'an City outside the palace, that is, the neighborhoods under the jurisdiction of Chang'an County and Wannian County, directly to the south for more than ten miles.
In the newly expanded position between the original Chang'an buildings and the imperial palace, four more buildings were built in one go, namely Qinglongfang, Baihufang, Zhuquefang and Xuanwufang.
In Qinglongfang, Li Zhi plans to arrange for people above the level of "Daluo Jinxian" to settle in. It is the closest to the palace, so that they can take care of them if something unexpected happens.
Baihufang has arranged for high-ranking generals from the Tang Dynasty and people with cultivation levels above "Golden Immortal" to settle there.
This one has the largest number of residents so far. Qin Qiong, Li Yaoshi, Cheng Yaojin, Xue Rengui, Pei Xingjian, Su Dingfang, Hou Junji, Yan Chixia, etc. have all moved in.
Zhuquefang was left to "civilians" by Li Zhi. Unfortunately, there are not many people who are qualified to move in now, including Bai Ze, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Di Renjie and so on.
Li Zhi took advantage of the situation and arranged for several of his disciples to come there. As for who can join in the future, it depends on what good ministers he can meet.
The last place, Xuanwufang, was reserved as a "guest room" in Li Zhi's conception. Maybe some "friends" would come over at some point, so they had to arrange a place to stay, right?
For example, the Asura Clan, the Sihai Dragon Clan, the Tianlang Mountain in Luzhou, Beiju, or the Wu Clan in Luoxue City, these forces Li Zhi also set aside special places in Xuanwu Fang, which can be regarded as the "Beijing office" of these people.
In these four squares, the construction specifications are almost the same as those of the imperial palace, and many magic circles are set up to ensure sufficient spiritual power in the square area.
The residence of Yang Jian and others will naturally be arranged in Qinglongfang, the largest area in the area. Those who can settle here will also be Li Zhi's most trusted people.
...
"Amitabha, this poor monk also wants to say goodbye——"
Waves of people who came to help left. Even Yang Jian took his 1,200 grass-headed gods to Guanjiangkou first. Only the team from Chang'an remained here.
At this time, accompanied by Changsun Pingting, Shi Feixuan and the Buddhist female cultivator also came to say goodbye to Li Zhi. The more Li Zhi thought about it, the more he couldn't understand it.
With her cultivation and combat prowess, Li Zhi originally thought that this talent would be his biggest support in the western expedition to Lingshan. However, this person actually acted as a spectator from beginning to end?
What Li Zhi couldn't understand even more was that when he saw that all the Tathagata Buddhas had returned and all the Buddhas gathered in the "Mahatma Hall", how could this person resist not showing up?
"Bo... I followed the venerable one all the way in vain. I feel a little ashamed——"
Li Zhi didn't know what to say, so when he opened his mouth, he "taunted" her for no reason.
"Amitabha, the emperor does not have to be like this. The cause of the past, the result of the present, every drink and every peck, are all determined. This time when the poor monk returns to the South China Sea, he should be like Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Maybe he will rarely set foot in the three realms in the future. "
"However, there is still a cause and effect between the poor monk and the emperor. I think we will see each other again in the near future. Amitabha -
—"
The Buddhist female cultivator said goodbye and left, leaving Li Zhi confused with these words.
Is there any cause and effect between me and this person?
Li Zhi really couldn't figure it out. Of course, he didn't have the energy or interest to think about things he couldn't figure out.
"Ao Ting, you are responsible for bringing the rest of the army back to Chang'an and returning them to their respective departments. Pingting and Mei Niang, you should take the children back first."
The only ones left with Li Zhi were Nezha and Sun Wukong.
"Kuroro, what do you want?..."
It was inconvenient for others to ask. As Li Zhi's wife, the eldest grandson Pingting and Wu Meiniang would always ask clearly, but Li Aoting's eyes were shining.
A good friend is Mo Ruozi. This boy knows very well that his father is going to go out for a walk again.
"After this western expedition against the demons is over, I have to go to heaven to reply, right? Besides, for such a great sacrifice and achievement, I still have to go and ask for a reward from our Great Heavenly Lord."
Leaving Nezha and Sun Wukong behind, Li Zhi had his own plans. Going to meet the Great Heavenly Lord was a necessary process, and asking for a reward was also an inevitable move.
But there were only two things that Li Zhi really cared about, and they were promised by the Great Heavenly Lord himself that day.
One is the "Human Emperor" status. Li Zhi can almost conclude that the half of the "Human Emperor" status that was "given" last time was taken back for no reason, and it must have something to do with the Great Heavenly Lord.
Even if he didn't do it himself, he would definitely know what was going on. After all, the Great Heavenly Lord nominally represents the "Way of Heaven".
The way of heaven?
Li Zhi has not yet been promoted to the realm of "quasi-sage". Even if he understands the "Law of Power", it seems that he did not understand it from the "Dao of Heaven", but more like it was dug out from within his own body?
Another reason is that the Queen Mother mentioned a marriage that day.
The Fairy Zixia who serves the Queen Mother is now the direct disciple of the Queen Mother, and has even been promoted to the realm of "Daluo Golden Immortal".
There are not many such female fairies in the entire heaven, and there are even fewer who are valued by the Great Heavenly Lord and the Queen Mother at the same time.
Naturally, Li Zhi was not thinking about himself, but wanted to do this for Sun Wukong.
Li Zhi had told Sun Wukong exactly what happened, and the monkey was very angry at first.
Anyone who sees his beloved woman being used as a "reward" will probably feel uncomfortable, right? Not to mention Sun Wukong.
Of course, Li Zhi didn't know whether his monkey brother really understood what "love" was. He was more interested in the story of "Supreme Treasure" and "Zixia Fairy".
However, I couldn't find anything "informative" from Brother Monkey's mouth.
In Li Zhi's opinion, why is he still the original Supreme Treasure, asking for marriage from the Great Heavenly Lord or the Queen Mother, having the cultivation of "quasi-sage" to kill a corpse, and being the person with the palm print of "God-given Guard", plus the ability to eliminate demons? If you have merit, you might actually have a chance to succeed.
However, now that the Supreme Treasure has become Sun Wukong, even if it is more influential than before, I am afraid that both the Great Goddess and the Queen Mother may reject it.
First of all, there is the crime of "deceiving the emperor" and hiding his true identity and staying in the "Tianci Guard" for so many years. Doesn't the Great Heavenly Lord lose face?
Besides, Li Zhi could obviously feel the Great Heavenly Lord's vigilance towards him, and ordered him to conquer Lingshan Mountain in the west. Wasn't he just driving away tigers and devouring wolves?
If the Great Heavenly Lord has the confidence to conquer the Supreme Treasure, but he does not have the confidence to conquer Sun Wukong, will he still watch a figure like Zixia Fairy fall into the hands of Sun Wukong?
Therefore, Li Zhi had already sensed the seriousness of the matter and had to go to heaven to talk about it.
Although it may not necessarily end as tragically as the "Great Sage's Marriage" in his impression, it will definitely not be easy to get the Great Heavenly Lord and the Queen Mother to agree to this marriage under the current circumstances. .
...
"Zixia, do we really not want to go down?——"
Standing in the sky hundreds of miles away from Lingshan Mountain
An all-female bodyguard is the "Jinwei" from Yaochi.
And if the two leaders of this "Jinwei" were not Jiutian Xuannv and Zixia Fairy, who else could they be?
They were originally following the Queen Mother's orders and came to help ward off the demons.
Of course, the more important thing was Fairy Zixia's selfishness. She knew that her Supreme Treasure would definitely come, so she begged the Queen Mother for a long time before getting her consent.
However, when they approached Lingshan, Tathagata Buddha had already returned.
After all the demon army was wiped out, and seeing the heavenly soldiers and generals led by Li Jing guarding the foot of Lingshan Mountain, they naturally could not lead the "Jinwei" straight to Lingshan Mountain.
Fairy Zixia was left behind to lead the "Jinwei" in mid-air, while Jiutian Xuannv, who was trained as a "quasi-sage", went to Lingshan to explore.
Everything else is easy to say: the demons are defeated, the spiritual mountain is restored, and the Buddhas return to their thrones.
The question is, where is the Supreme Treasure?
The Supreme Treasure actually turned into Sun Wukong? Or is it that the Supreme Treasure is the real Sun Wukong?
Even the usually calm female war goddess Jiutian Xuannv didn't know how to accept such a dramatic change.
So, she quietly left Lingshan and told Fairy Zixia truthfully what she had seen.
"Sister, let's go back to Yaochi first. I want to be alone..."
