It won't be long.
Everyone saw Master Sanzang walking out of the meditation room, his expression as usual, not serious at all.
But Li Shimin and others still couldn't completely rest assured. Prince Li Zhi stepped forward and asked, "Uncle, how is Si Zi?"
Fa Hai clasped his hands together and said: "There is no fear of life for now."
After listening to Master Sanzang's words, the Empress, who had been tense all the time, suddenly let go of her strength. Li Chengqian and Li Tai on the left and right quickly helped the empress to sit down, and said comfortingly: "Uncle Emperor is here, so is the empress. You should be more at ease and don’t worry so much to avoid hurting your mind.”
That's true, but what mother doesn't worry when her child is seriously ill and dying?
But Li Shimin heard the implication of Master Sanzang's words, so he asked along the way: "Maybe I can go in and see Sizi?"
"Okay, but please be gentle, Brother Huang. Sizi can sleep peacefully now. She still needs to calm down and not wake her up."
After Li Shimin got the advice, he didn't go in. Instead, he said to Cheng Qian's and Qing Que: "Help your mother go and see Si Zi, remember to keep the noise down."
"yes."
The two sons had no intention of fighting at the moment. They helped the queen into the Zen room and saw that Sizi's face was finally a little rosy on the bed. The queen couldn't help but have tears in her eyes.
"Mom, daddy is leaving, don't be sad."
But I heard Princess Jinyang murmuring in her dream, "Grandpa said that after I die, I can go to the Western Paradise to enjoy happiness. You should be happy for Si Zi. But but"
Si Zi in the dream began to sob, "But you must miss me, Si Zi will miss you too."
The queen immediately burst into tears, but the next moment she reached out and covered her mouth and nose with her robe, for fear of making any noise that would disturb Si Zi.
Outside the Zen room.
Li Shimin's expression became a little more solemn at this moment, and he asked Master Sanzang who was directly opposite him: "Brother Yu, I'm afraid the situation regarding Sizi is not that optimistic."
"Amitabha." Fahai shook his head and said, "It's useless to hide it now. Si Zi's illness can be cured. But the problem is that her life span has probably reached its end."
hiss--!
Li Shimin's heart suddenly tightened.
Li Zhi was also shocked and said: Fortunately, he let his mother enter the meditation room first, otherwise if he had listened, another one would have fallen ill.
Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang did not expect that Master Sanzang would directly point out the key to the matter to Li Shimin. They put this matter in their minds and most likely just let it go and let nature take its course.
After all, the lifespan recorded in the book of life and death has been exhausted. Is it possible to restore the life through human power?
Moreover, what they all inherited was the Taiqing Sage. Even Yuan Tiangang, who wanted to cause trouble, only wanted to make some changes in variables, but he never thought of going against the will of heaven.
After all, fixed numbers and variables are both numbers of days.
As for the current matter of Princess Jinyang, Yuan Tiangang's cultivation is not yet clear about the key point. After all, Princess Jinyang is just a favored princess, and it seems to have nothing to do with the general trend of the Three Realms.
To put it more bluntly, Yuan Tiangang believed that the life and death of Princess Jinyang were insignificant.
He believed that Master Tripitaka was explaining the reason to His Majesty at this moment, most likely to inform His Majesty of the outcome of the matter, so that His Majesty could be mentally prepared or prepare for the funeral.
"Book of Life and Death."
Li Shimin clenched his fists, and suddenly there were dragon aura and purple myrtle imperial aura surrounding him. The lower one penetrated the nine secluded areas, and the upper one broke through the sky. This was originally the wrath of the emperor on earth, but at this moment it actually had the aura of a human king.
Boom boom boom!
The dragon energy that almost formed a substance crashed into the gate of hell. When the evil spirits and bad ghosts saw it, they almost flew away directly on the spot.
But soon, a very heavy force appeared from the depths of the underworld, wrapping the dragon energy in one place and killing it all in an instant.
The one who took action was the Houtu Emperor. This was just the imperial energy that was occasionally inspired. Not to mention the ordinary little ghosts in the underworld, even some ghosts who had been around for many years could not withstand such power.
As for Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Emperor Fengdu, one is in Yinshan and the other is in Fengdu. If they have to wait for the two of them to take action, Yinsi may suffer a serious blow. Therefore, in the past, even if the Emperor of Houtu did not ask about the affairs of the Yinsi, it was rare for him to take action.
After only a small amount of turmoil had subsided in Hou Tu Huang Di, the ten palaces of Hell in the underworld were gathered together. They looked at each other in disbelief. King Qin Guang even kept winking at Judge Cui: How dare you secretly add twenty years to Li Shimin's life? , why are you so dull today?
Not to mention that Li Shimin is originally a Ziwei descended to the earth, and in the future, when his life span is over, he will be reborn in heaven. If because of these things, they, the little kings of the underworld, are given small shoes, wouldn't it be a huge injustice?
This is also the fundamental reason why the Tenth Hall of Hell turned a blind eye to Cui Fan secretly adding twenty years to Li Shimin's life span.
Cui Pan, who received the hints from the eyes of several kings of hell, simply opened the book of life and death, sent it to the Ten Palaces of Hell, and said: "Here is the book of life and death."
It is easier to change Li Shimin's Yangshou because he is the reincarnation of Ziwei the Great, with the emperor's energy in his body and a stable soul. Previously, the reason for changing Kou Yuanwai's Yangshou was because Kou Yuanwai has indeed done good deeds in the world, plus he is endorsed by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. , naturally it’s easy to start
But this Princess of Jinyang, Cui Pan has seen her just now. Her origins are ordinary. Although she had good deeds in her previous life, she had limited good deeds, otherwise she would not have been reincarnated into the royal family, but she only had a lifespan of just ten years.
If it really changes, it can only be done by several kings of hell. Anyway, Cui Pang doesn't think he can withstand the backlash of the power of the Book of Life and Death.
How could they not know something that even Cui Pan knew?
It is not impossible to change the longevity recorded in the book of life and death. But it is absolutely impossible to change it arbitrarily without any scruples.
Either it will harm your merit or your luck.
Back then, the great sage caused trouble in the underworld and tore up the book of life and death. This was probably the reason why everything went wrong.
It was also the great sage's strong luck, and he was worthy of being nurtured by the Heaven-Building Divine Stone. Otherwise, just because he crossed out all the names of the monkey genus, there would be no future events.
The book of life and death was placed in front of them. King Yama looked through it for a while and suddenly said: "We are not the ones who can make the decision on this matter without authorization, so why not just let nature take its course."
"Since we can't make the decision, we might as well ask those who can make the decision." King Chu Jiang suggested, "Otherwise, how about asking Emperor Fengdu and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?"
"Inappropriate." Emperor Song shook his head, "Although the Book of Life and Death is in the underworld, it is not a magic weapon like ours. Even Emperor Fengdu and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva cannot refine the Book of Life and Death and ask them. It’s better to go and ask the Queen of the Earth to take over.”
"But the Houtu Emperor only hides from the world, and it is difficult for us to even see each other. How can we ask for each other?"
The words of King Ping made the whole scene fall into stagnation again. Yama of the Ten Palaces stared with big eyes and small eyes, and no one spoke.
It was Cui Pan who saw the situation in front of him and couldn't help but said, "Have you forgotten that there is an incarnation of Empress Houtu in the underworld?"
King Taishan clapped his hands immediately after hearing this, as if he suddenly realized: "Oh, if Cui Pan didn't tell me, I almost forgot!"
The City King followed up and said, "Since it's Cui Pan's idea, how about I trouble Cui Pan to make a trip?"
Then, all the Yamas from the Ten Palaces looked at Cui Pan.
How could Yama of the Tenth Palace forget this matter?
The dragon energy of the human emperor that broke into the underworld just now was resolved by the Hou Tu Emperor. However, although this empress had a gentle temperament, she never had a good look towards them, the Ten Palaces of Yama. As time went by, they Then I won't bother anyone in front of Houtu Huangdi.
How could Cui Pan not know that this was done intentionally by Yama of the Tenth Palace, but he was not afraid and walked towards Naihe Bridge.
"Junior Cui Jue, I have met your empress."
Cui Pan bowed to Po Meng who was making Meng Po soup on Naihe.
But Meng Po didn't have any reaction, she just filled bowls of Meng Po soup. The ghosts behind drank Meng Po soup one by one, completely forgetting the past, and reincarnated "cleanly".
The ghosts drank Meng Po's soup and went to reincarnation. But the undercover guards guarding Naihe Bridge were extremely surprised when they saw Cui Pan bowing so respectfully to Meng Po and calling her "Empress".
After all, the fact that Po Meng is the incarnation of the Hou Tu Emperor is considered a small secret in the underworld.
What is a secret that is not too big or too small?
Everyone who should know about it knows it, but those who shouldn’t know it have never heard of it at all.
Cui Pan thought for a moment, and first ordered the Naihe Bridge to be temporarily blocked, and the ghosts on the bridge to be reincarnated first. Then he filled a few bowls of Meng Po soup, and then personally fed the Yin Chai who was guarding the Naihe Bridge to drink.
It wasn't until Naihe Bridge was cleared of all the idle people that Meng Po's eyes, which were slightly glazed over, started to look brighter.
Cui Pan just looked at each other for a moment, and then he felt a force that suppressed the mountains, lying on his shoulders. If he hadn't still had some cultivation, he would have been pressed to the ground by this force, unable to Moved.
It wasn't until Po Meng looked away that Cui Pan felt that the force that seemed to be crushing him slowed down.
Huchi——Huchi——
Cui Pan breathed a few times, and after a moment of relief, he hurriedly saluted Po Meng again: "Junior Cui Jue, I have met Empress Houtu."
"Without courtesy, why are you looking for me?"
Cui Pan quickly explained the matter of Princess Jinyang to the Houtu Emperor.
"Emperor of the world." Po Meng pondered for a long time and then said to Cui Pan: "Li Mingda's name is no longer in the book of life and death."
"ah"
Cui Pan did not expect this, but when Cui Pan was about to ask a few more questions, a spiritual spell suddenly appeared in his heart, and then he heard Empress Houtu say: "Look for me later, but Recite this mantra silently in your heart, and there is no need to come here to disturb the reincarnation of the three realms."
Without Cui Pan's reply, the look in Po Meng's eyes returned to its previous sluggish state, and the power that had been suppressing her surroundings dissipated.
Obviously, Houtu Huangdi has returned, and Meng Po is on duty again.
Cui Pan still had some questions he wanted to ask. But Queen Houtu had just left. He felt that it was not appropriate to call Empress Houtu with a curse at this moment.
When he returned to the underworld, all the Yamas from the Ten Palaces gathered around him and asked Cui Pan, "How did you do it?"
Cui Fan thought for a moment and then asked: "But the name of Princess Li Mingda of Jinyang disappeared from the book of life and death?"
"Of course it is."
Cui Fan thought for a moment and then decided to tell the truth: "Your Majesty just told me that Princess Jinyang's name has disappeared from the book of life and death. As for how she did it, she didn't mention it."
The Tenth Hall Yama looked at the book of life and death in front of him, and eight out of ten were frowning.
Just then they watched Li Mingda's name disappear. Not only the three words "Li Mingda", but also a brief description of her life, disappeared directly from the book of life and death. It was not like the great sage did that, who suppressed the name of the monkey genus. Scratch it all out with a pen.
Is this the work of Empress Houtu?
They have been in charge of the Book of Life and Death for many years. It is not that they have never seen the names of human beings disappear from the Book of Life and Death, but those are all immortals who have achieved success in practice, or have achieved Zhengguo, and have jumped out of the Three Realms and are no longer in the Five Elements; or they have Once you get the immortal status in heaven, you will naturally lose the death status in the underworld.
But Jinyang Princess Li Mingda is obviously not among them.
Ci'en Temple.
The Golden Light Immortal was already numb.
The Queen of Xiliang could not rob Lishan Laomu; the former crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian, could not rob Laojun. He recognized these.
But why is there someone who wants to get ahead of Princess Jinyang?
And although the person who took action was not the incarnation of a saint, Jin Guangxian really had no room for backhand in front of her.
Guanyin Bodhisattva took off a willow leaf from the willow branch in his hand. When the Buddha's light passed by, the willow leaf had turned into a pendant. Guanyin Bodhisattva personally hung it around Sizi's neck and said: "From today onwards After that, you will be the disciple of the poor monk."
It’s just that Sizi is still sleeping and has not woken up.
Li Shimin on the side looked solemn at this moment, because there were some things that he couldn't figure out, "My dear brother, even if the Bodhisattva accepts Sizi as his disciple, her longevity will not be the same."
"Amitabha."
Fahai clasped his hands together and said to Li Shimin: "This is a trick. Your Majesty, you know that becoming an immortal can lead to immortality?"
"I know." Li Shimin nodded. Li Shimin also knew a lot about similar things. "When immortals enter the immortal book, they are no longer in the control of life and death."
After all, he wanted to ascend to the Fire Cloud Cave, and he specifically asked Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng for advice on these matters.
"Similarly." Fahai smiled and said, "Buddhism also has similar methods."
"Oh?" Li Shimin became interested immediately.
"The longevity of those who enter the Buddhist Kingdom is not governed by the Book of Life and Death." Fahai explained to Li Shimin: "In addition to entering the Buddhist Kingdom, ordinary mortals can visit any of the Buddhist mountain gates such as Lingshan Mountain, Nanhai Mountain, and Sumeru Mountain. With the approval of the family, and eventually joining the Buddhist scriptures, one can also escape from the book of life and death."
"Isn't Yudi's Consciousness Only Sect good?"
"We don't have the qualifications yet, but I guess that day is not too far away."
