In the dead of night, Li Hong woke up from his dream again.
It's not a good dream, but it's not a nightmare either, but it's only midnight and I've woken up from it a dozen times in a row. This feeling is really uncomfortable.
The curtains in the palace moved slightly, and the figures were in a trance. Li Hong sat up and took a long breath on the imperial couch.
At this time, the chamberlain and the palace maid hurriedly came over holding the lamp and called softly: "Your Majesty?"
Li Hong looked at the trusted servant in front of him and said, "Water."
The chamberlain quickly took the prepared jade cup from the hands of the palace maid, delivered it to Li Hong and said, "Your Majesty, this is your favorite iced kombo lotus seed tea."
Li Hong took the jade cup and took a sip of tea, feeling much refreshed.
Then he waved his hand to the chamberlains and maids: "Please exit the palace and ask you to come in again."
"Your Majesty?" said the confidant, "Your Majesty, please let me stay."
Li Hong glanced at the waiter, then nodded and said: "Okay, you stay."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" the chamberlain bowed and said.
Then the rest of the attendants and maids withdrew from the palace, leaving only a close servant standing by the royal couch.
Li Hong lay down again, but his mind was filled with dreams from the previous dozen times.
In those dreams, various Bodhisattvas, Arhats, and Buddhas and immortals took turns entering his dreams.
Some preached Buddhism to him, some showed him Buddhism, some talked with him about Buddhism, and some chatted with him about life.
But this time, he was not treated like his ancestors of the Li family and was taken to watch the eighteen levels of hell.
Because the power of Buddhism has withdrawn from the underworld, no disciples of Taoism or Buddhism can enter or interfere with the affairs of the underworld at will.
"Hmph, don't you just want to preach the power of Buddha to me and make me give up destroying Buddha?" Li Hong snorted coldly in his heart, "I won't sleep tonight, let's see what you can do."
Li Hong wanted to stay awake, but after all, he was still in mortal form. After just a cup of tea, his upper and lower eyelids started to fight.
Soon, Li Hong fell asleep.
This sleep was unexpectedly peaceful, because those Buddhist immortals never entered his dream again.
However, Li Hong vaguely felt that someone seemed to be watching him above his head. It felt like being stared at by some kind of big terror that would involve you at any time.
This feeling was terrifying, as if he was standing on a cliff looking into the abyss, and there was some kind of great terror looking at him under the abyss.
It's better to let those Buddhist monks come!
Finally, an hour later, Li Hong woke up. When he woke up, he found that his whole body was soaked with sweat.
"Your Majesty." The soft voice of a close servant came from the side. Li Hong glanced at him and said in a tired voice: "Change clothes."
"Yes." The close servant immediately stood up, preparing to summon the maid outside to come in and change Li Hong's clothes.
But the moment he turned around, Li Hong behind him suddenly let out a scream.
The chamberlain was startled, turned around quickly, rushed to Li Hong and asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
Li Hong was trembling all over, even his teeth were chattering.
Because Li Hong discovered at this time that the feeling of great terror was still shrouded in the palace.
Am I still in a dream? When Li Hong thought of this, he raised his hand and slapped himself.
It hurts! This is not a dream!
No, this must be a dream!
The close servant next to him was so frightened that he couldn't help shouting: "Your Majesty! What's wrong with you?"
Li Hong turned around and said to the chamberlain, "Slap me."
"Ah?" The chamberlain was shocked when he heard this, and immediately knelt down and said tremblingly: "How dare you offend your majesty, who has a body of thousands of dollars? You will be punished with death!"
While the chamberlain was talking, Li Hong slapped himself again, with a very clear sound, making a crisp sound.
"This is really not a dream!" Li Hong stood up from the imperial couch in horror, then ran straight down to the weapon rack on the left side of the palace, and pulled out the Emperor's Sword.
"Who is it?" Li Hong shouted loudly, holding the Emperor's Sword in his hand: "Who is there?"
But Li Hong shouted several times but no one responded, which made him even more frightened.
At this time, Li Hong turned around and said directly to his confidants: "Send the imperial army over immediately! Bring the imperial army to my palace!"
"Your Majesty, this..." The chamberlain was shocked and ordered the imperial army to enter the palace... just in case...
But before the chamberlain could finish speaking, Li Hong shouted sharply: "Go!"
"According to the order!" Seeing Li Hong's anger, the chamberlain immediately turned around and ran out of the palace.
...
At the same time, in the sky above the palace of Tang Wang Li Hong, two figures were confronting each other.
Moreover, the magic power around the two of them was surging and turbulent, sweeping towards each other like a tsunami.
The magic power of the two people continued to stir, collide, and confront each other, causing the sky above the entire Chang'an City to be covered with dark clouds, and even gusts of bone-chilling wind blew between the sky and the earth.
The strong winds raised due to the struggle between magic powers showed that both of them were Taiyi Xuanxian, and the one on the right, wearing a qingxia jade unicorn robe, handsome and majestic, was Fang Jian.
The person opposite Fang Jian had disheveled hair, a yellow scarf on his head, and a strange sword in his hand.
Fang Jian stared at the person in front of him, and immediately said, "Zhang Liang, do you really want to stop me from showing my sage?"
It turns out that the name of the man in front of Fang Jian is 'Zhang Liang'. He is the third disciple of Zhonghuang Laoxian and the younger brother of Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao.
Zhang Liang had already reported his family name when he stopped Fang Jian just now, so Fang Jian knew his name.
Zhang Liang held the Japanese magic weapon 'Ren Gong Sword' and saluted Fang Jianji: "Master Hongqing, why do you need to help Buddhism? It is also a good thing for Heaven to drive Buddhism out of Dongsheng Shenzhou."
Fang Jian said calmly: "I, the Heavenly Court, will not interfere in the dispute between your Taoist sect and the Buddhist sect. This is a favor I want to return."
Zhang Liang said: "Since it is not Heavenly Court's intention to intervene in this matter, then Master Hongqing is here in a private capacity? In this case, if I stop Master Hongqing, it does not count as attacking the Heavenly Court Immortal Official."
Fang Jian said: "You can try it."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Liang immediately said with a sincere face: "I beg you, Master Hongqing, to leave."
"No! Although I am here for a private matter, I hold the official position of an immortal official. If you intercept me, you are attacking the immortal official of heaven." After Fang Jian finished speaking, the Taiyi Golden Light Sword flew out of his eyebrows and turned into a sword light. Zhang Liang killed him.
Zhang Liang, on the other hand, was unhurried and immediately used Taoist magic to protect his whole body. Then he swung the Renggong Sword in his hand and directly blocked the edge of the Taiyi Golden Light Sword.
"Huh?" Fang Jian took the Taiyi Golden Light Sword back, then looked at the Ren Gong Sword in Zhang Liang's hand and said, "Golden Immortal level magic weapon?"
"Yes." Zhang Liang responded, and then said: "Is this sword of Master Hongqing a Taiyi Golden Immortal-level magic weapon?"
"Not bad." Fang Jian nodded.
Zhang Liang praised: "It's amazing. I have long heard that Master Hongqing's magic weapon is very powerful. When I saw it today, it really lived up to its reputation."
Fang Jian said calmly: "It doesn't matter how powerful it is, it was blocked by your golden immortal level magic weapon."
Zhang Liang said with a smile: "Although my sword is only at the Golden Immortal level, it has a special function, so it can block Master Hongqing's Taiyi Golden Immortal level sword."
"Then can you stop this?" Fang Jian said.
'Buzz' Fang Jian finished speaking, and suddenly a Dingyuan golden light fell from Zhang Liang's head and shone directly on Zhang Liang.
It's the Ding Yuan Pearl!
